Council approves the agreement and adopts Resolution No. 02-23-2967 to amend the Citywide Salary Schedule to establish a pay schedule for the position of Acting City Manager 3 February 28, 2023
NB 2. New City-Wide Phone System – by Kari Lee, Public Works Recommendation:

City Council to authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Airespring.

NB 3. Security Surveillance Camera System – by Amo Meza, Chief Water Operator Recommendation:

PW staff is recommending the quoted ADT security system (attached) over the other quotes received. This recommendation is due to the quality of the equipment and the technological advantages provided. One of the advantages is the ability to be notified of a possible intrusion as well as remote view/operate the system on a mobile device. Upon detecting an intrusion, the system can notify any intruders by broadcasting a customized message as well as triggering the included red & blue strobe lights. The system will also "push" all notifications to multiple recipients (PD included). Additionally, since the equipment will be purchased up front, there will not be any monthly monitoring fees.

NB 4. Review of pending requests for general plan amendments and zoning amendments- by Paul Junker, Contract Planner
Recommendation:

Provide general direction to City staff and applicants on whether the proposed land use amendments in the interests of the community. Council comments could consider the proposed sites as a whole or could consider the merits of the individual proposals.

Recommendation:

City Council to approve ARPA funds of $600,000 for completion of the Golf Course Clubhouse, $600,000 for a Skatepark at Central Park between Hamburger Hill and the city pool, and the remaining ARPA funds allocated for the revitalization of California City Blvd between Hacienda Blvd and the bridge.

RE: January Status Update
Dear Kari & Council Members,
We are still progressing in the collection and integration of water asset locations into the City’s new water GIS system. We are continuing with the QA/QC of asset data and attributes. We are focused recently on the training manual and bringing in other layers of information such as sewer manholes..

Since the last status update we have worked on the following:
 Found a few valve locations that were not on existing mapping. We plan on capturing them after the storm passes next week. These new valve locations were discovered while capturing sewer manholes.
 We have been stress testing the system and performing QA on the system reporting capabilities.
 We did not work on the user training manual much during this period, but expect to focus more on it in the next few weeks. This manual will be used for distribution to staff and use in a future training session.
 We are preparing for another Council presentation on the 28th.  We are continuing to work on developing mapping layers for the GIS web application and creating presentable layers of information. We are also working on custom GIS reports that present available attributes.

If you have any questions or need any additional information please give me a call or email.

Sincerely,
Brian D. Glidden, P.E., L.S.

CITY COUNCIL
DATE: February 28, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Dr. Jim Hart, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of Employment Agreement for the Acting City Manager and Adoption by Resolution No. 02-23-2967 Amending the 2022-2023 Citywide Salary Schedule _____________________________________________________________________________________

BACKGROUND
The City is currently recruiting to fill the vacant position of City Manager, and the current Interim City Manager, Dr. Jim Hart, is a retired annuitant who cannot work more than 960 hours in a fiscal year. As Dr.

Hart’s 960-hour cap is approaching, the City Council wishes to appoint OHV Manager, Inge Elmes, as Acting City Manager to serve until a permanent City Manager is hired. To comply with CalPERS regulations, the salary for this temporary position needs to be in a publicly available pay schedule and meet other legal requirements. An employment agreement with Ms. Elme’s for the position of Acting City Manager is also appropriate and recommended.

Government Code section 20480 limits temporary pay upgrades (“acting pay”) for out-of-class service while an employer is recruiting to fill a staffing vacancy. Government Code section 20480(f) defines “out of class appointment” as “an appointment of an employee to an upgraded position or higher classification by the employer or governing board or body in a vacant position.” Employers may only provide temporary pay upgrades to employees for 960 hours per fiscal year.

The attached Employment Agreement limits Ms. Elme’s appointment as Acting City Manager to no more than 960 hours and includes the tracking and CalPERS reporting requirements. Government Code section 20480 also requires that compensation for out-of-class appointments be pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement or a publicly available pay schedule that complies with California Code of Regulations section 570.5. To comply with the requirements of Government Code section 20480, the proposed Resolution has been prepared to amend the Citywide Salary Schedule for 2022-2023 to include a pay schedule for the position of Acting City Manager.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Employment Agreement for Acting City Manager and adopt Resolution No. 02-23-2967.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This Action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
February 28, 2023
Prepared By: Kari Lee, Public Works Admin

Subject: New City-Wide Phone System

BACKGROUND: All City buildings currently utilize outdated phones on standard, copper phone lines with multiple phone companies. The current phone system in place is outdated and inefficient. The phones, any technical support and parts for them are no longer available as well as the copper phone lines they operate on are aging and becoming unreliable as witnessed by several phone outages within the past year including the one just last week.

Staff has been working with Judy Magana from Global Communications 2000 (GC 2000) for a new, cohesive, city-wide phone system that will help bring every City building into the 21st century for less money than what we are currently paying, under one phone bill.

GC 2000 has been in the business of filling the technology needs of their clients in finding the best communication solutions while providing optimal customer service at a much better price for over 25 years. GC 2000 earns their money through the companies they partner with to bring these great, reliable services to their customers at affordable prices.

GC 2000 has completed their exhaustive review of phone bills and site visits and have advised staff of their findings.
• The phones we are using are outdated and do not help staff operate efficiently. • Staff can only dial extensions or transfer calls internally to the building they are in. Any calls made to other buildings (i.e.; city hall to PD), the full number has to be dialed or given to callers for them to call. Which can understandably, exasperate the caller. • The standard, copper telephone lines currently in use are quickly losing their value for the phone companies to maintain. This fact translates to costlier bills in the future at the prices the phone companies determine.
• Multiple phone bills which create a time-consuming task of breaking down the bills every month so they can be charged to the correct departments. • The City is spending more money than necessary due to a few factors (multiple phone companies creating repetitive fees and taxes, unused, active lines, taxes and fees charged per department, etc.).

GC 2000 has spent a great deal of time and effort on this project to ensure that the City gets the needed services, phones, better phone line quality and dependable service through the cloud with one carrier which will result in one, easy to read, monthly phone bill broken down by department saving the City both time and money.

They have matched us with Airespring who will be providing the new phones and the digital service through the cloud as well as any software updates throughout the term of the contract.

These improved phones and services are provided without any extra costs (installation, maintenance, ongoing support etc.) or any “hidden fees” to the City. Additionally, Airespring & GC 2000 will be providing local customer service and support as well as unlimited staff training, at any time, over the entire contract term as part of the package. 113 February 28, 2023
The current annual cost for our existing outdated phones and services is $58,760.88.

Airespring is offering a 3-year contract with an annual cost of $42,558.00, SAVING the City $16,202.88 Annually.

Please keep in mind, costs will only continue to increase at an unknown rate with our current providers. The rise in costs will be completely up to them as they see fit.

With Airesping, the cost will remain the same throughout the 3-year contract term for better services and products now and moving forward.

This upgrade reflects a step forward towards fiscal responsibility to our citizens and their tax dollars. This is accomplished by the following:

1. Fiscally Responsible – One phone company, less surcharges and taxes. Better tracking of phone lines to avoid paying for lines we aren’t using. No repetitive fees and taxes.

2. Efficiency - One, easier to read billing already separated by the departments. This means less time spent by accounting to reconcile the multiple phone bills for the different departments.

3. Known, constant costs which will assist departments in budgeting.

4. Less Expensive – Airespring charges less, for better services and phones than we are currently spending.

This technological improvement may seem small but first impressions are everything. The City will not only be providing better services for our community but also show potential businesses that we are a City moving forward and worth investing in.

RECOMMENDATION: City Council to authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Airespring.

ATTACHMENTS:

1. Airespring Proposal / Cost Comparison

2. Nextlevel Proposal / Cost Comparison

3. Momentum Proposal / Cost Comparison
FISCAL IMPACT:

NO construction, installation, equipment, training or extended customer service costs to the City, in the beginning or throughout the term.

Current monthly cost for the City is $4,896.74 for the current providers and services (which are most likely to continue to increase).

The new monthly cost with Airespring will be $3,546.50.00.

This provides a savings of $1,350.24 a month for better phones and services.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
February 28th, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Amador Meza, Chief Water Operator
SUBJECT: Security Surveillance Camera System
ITEM NO. NB 3.

BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION: Public Works (PW) is requesting to purchase a security surveillance camera system for the maintenance yard.

In the past year alone the City PW Maintenance Yard has experienced several break ins.

These unfortunate events have incurred over $20,000 of replacement and repair costs of equipment, tools, vehicle parts as well as vehicles and property damage done during every break in. Additional costs incurred, not included in the above total, is the administrative time to investigate and list the items/property stolen and damaged, their value and the research of the replacement/repair costs of said items and damaged property.

The current camera system is woefully inadequate and only records. It is not a security system. Staff strongly feels that if an adequate security surveillance camera system was in place, the continual events throughout this past year may have been prevented.

To help protect our current and new vehicles, equipment, assets and most of all our employees, staff would like to purchase a better, security surveillance system to help prevent future events.

The initial cost of the new system will be offset by no monthly charges being incurred as this is a self-monitoring, notification system.

Additionally, the protection and security it will provide for the City's assets and employees will be immeasurable.

RECOMMENDATION: PW staff is recommending the quoted ADT security system ( attached) over the other quotes received. This recommendation is due to the quality of the equipment and the technological advantages provided. One of the advantages is the ability to be notified of a possible intrusion as well as remote view/operate the system on a mobile device. Upon detecting an intrusion, the system can notify any intruders by broadcasting a customized message as well as triggering the included red & blue strobe lights. The system will also "push" all notifications to multiple recipients (PD included).

Additionally, since the equipment will be purchased up front, there will not be any monthly monitoring fees.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
FEBRUARY 28, 2023
PREPARED BY: Paul Junker, Contract Planner
SUBJECT: Review of pending requests for general plan amendments and zoning amendments.

BACKGROUND:

The City has received numerous requests for general plan amendments and rezoning of properties, most involving change from O/RA designations to Light Industrial to accommodate new cannabis uses.

General Plan designations represent the highest level direction for allowed land uses and approval of a general plan amendment (GPA) is entirely at the City’s discretion. General Plan amendments result in a fundamental change to the allowed by right and conditionally allowed uses of a property and therefore a GPA must be analyzed subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Given that there is no certainty an applicant’s request for a GPA will be approved, and further given the effort and expense to complete the required CEQA analysis, staff presented a collection of proposed GPAs to the Planning Commission on February 7, 2023 and is now presenting these projects to the City Council so that staff and applicants can better understand the priorities of decisionmakers. It is assumed that if the City Council’s review is generally favorable, then applicants will undertake the efforts to provide complete applications and the requested GPAs would come forward for formal review and decision.

This review is a policy level discussion and will not directly result in the approval of any of the requested GPAs. The Planning Commission reviewed these projects and the Commission’s input is provided as guidance to the City Council. Any GPAs would ultimately require City Council approval.
151 February 28, 2023
While the General Plan represents the most senior land use designation, these projects would also require amendments to zoning. If these projects move forward, then the requests would be for both a GPA and an amendment of zoning designation (Rezone).

OVERVIEW OF REQUESTS:

The City Council will be reviewing six specific projects that extend across much of California City. Five of the projects are very similar: an applicant seeking to convert O/RA lands to Light Industrial in order to allow a commercial cannabis business to be constructed and operated. The sixth request involves the ability to construct multi family housing on land that is designated Commercial Office. The six sites under review are identified in the below Figure.
152 February 28, 2023
ANALYSIS OF SITES:

Sites 1, 2 and 3:

Sites 1, 2 and 3 share a similar setting, being located south of and with frontage on California City Boulevard. Each of these sites are currently have General Plan and zoning designations of O/RA and the applicant’s for each property are seeking Light Industrial General Plan and zoning designations.

These sites range from 10.49 acres to 39.78 acres in size – each being of adequate size to accommodate a substantial commercial cannabis business. These properties are located between 2.5 and 3.5 miles west of existing development in the core area of California City. Due to frontage to California City Boulevard, these sites are prominent to travelers coming to and leaving California City.

Based on the overall General Plan and zoning designations of the City, it appears industrial development was intended to be located north of California City Boulevard.

However, two properties south of the Boulevard have already been converted to Light Industrial to accommodate cannabis businesses. Approving additional Light Industrial uses south of California City Boulevard would demonstrate the City’s support for such development and it would likely result in additional GPA/Rezone requests.

City services (municipal water and wastewater) and electric services are not currently available at these properties and solutions such as wells, septic fields and onsite generators would likely be required to support development of these properties. 153 February 28, 2023
Site 4:

Site 4 is located directly north of the California City Municipal Airport and approximately one-third of a mile west of Yerba Road. The nearest residents are approximately 1.1 miles to the south on the opposite side of the Airport. Existing Light Industrial lands are located immediately south of this site and properties around this site are designated O/RA.

Municipal water is located approximately 100 feet from the site and wastewater service is located 4,000 feet from the property. Based on City regulations, this site would connect to City water and would rely on onsite septic for wastewater.

Site 5:
154 February 28, 2023
Site 5 is located approximately three mile northeast of California City’s core area. At 80 acres, this site is the largest proposed GPA/Rezone under review. Municipal water is located approximately 500 feet from the site and wastewater service is located 600 feet from the property. Given the size of this project it would be reasonable to require connection to water and wastewater services.

Unlike other properties under review, this site is not proximate to other Light Industrial properties. The closest land designated for Light Industrial use is approximately one-half mile to the west.

Site 6:

Site 6 is unlike the other sites currently under review. The site is designated for Commercial Office uses but the property owner would like to develop this site as multi-family housing.

The site is proximate to municipal water and wastewater and would connect to these services.

There are two approaches the City may consider if multi-family housing at this location is supported. The first option is to amend the GP and zoning designations to higher density residential. This would be a departure from the Commercial Office designations that extend along this section of California City Boulevard.

A second option the City might wish to consider is to amend the Zoning Code to add multi-family housing as a conditionally allowed use. This would allow applicants to propose projects that the City could then review for consistency with established standards.

It is noteworthy that single family homes have been constructed on California City Boulevard immediately west of this site. Further, it appears most of the development in the Commercial Office corridor that extends from City Hall to North Loop/South Loop is residential in character.
155 February 28, 2023
ANALYSIS/BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The City Council is requested to provide guidance on whether it generally views the proposed use amendments favorably. No formal action is requested and if such application proceed, staff will complete a more thorough analysis of each proposed site.

Staff offers the following guidance for the Council’s consideration:

General Considerations:
• Generally, additional lands are zoned to a given designation when there is a shortage of available properties for a given use. Currently, there is a substantial inventory of vacant industrial lands in California City. • Land use patterns should be viewed from a relatively broad perspective. Approval of a use amendments may result in additional requests for such amendments, leading to broader transitions in land use patterns over time. • Five of six rezones under review are intended to allow new cannabis businesses.

Such businesses would likely have a positive economic impact on the City. • Property owners seeking rezones are more likely to pursue development – they are making an investment which signals a desire to proceed with projects. • Spot zoning, or the designation of a small area to uses inconsistent with surrounding uses is both a poor practice and not supported by established court decisions. • Availability of public facilities (water and wastewater) is an important factor in considering development proposals. Connection to such services in environmentally preferable.

Sites 1, 2 and 3:
• Industrial uses tend not to be compatible with residential uses. If O/RA lands are converted to Industrial, it is not likely residential uses would be compatible in the future.
• California City Boulevard is the most important thoroughfare in the community and the appearance and character of development along this corridor will influence the appearance and character of the community.
• Public facilities (water and wastewater) are not available at these sites and projects would be required to construct onsite facilities (wells and septic). • These sites are immediately south of existing Light Industrial lands and three parcels south of California City Boulevard are already designated Light Industrial.

Therefore, amending the designations of these sites to Light Industrial would not represent spot zoning.

Site 4:
• This site is relatively removed from sensitive land uses and is not located on prominent roads.
• Water service is available at this site but wastewater would require an onsite disposal system.
• Land immediately south of this site is designated Light Industrial, therefore amending the designations of these sites to Light Industrial would not represent spot zoning.
156 February 28, 2023
Site 5:
• Site 5 is the largest individual request submitted to the City. While removed from other Light Industrial lands, this site is of adequate size to support a diverse collection of commercial cannabis and non-cannabis light industrial uses. • The site is well removed from the City core and prevailing wind patterns would minimize the potential for cannabis odor issues.
• Water and wastewater facilities are located in proximity to the site. • While no Light Industrial land is located directly adjacent to this site, properties within one-half mile of this site are designated Light Industrial. Given the size of this site is 80 acres and would likely be subdivided prior to development, amending the use of this site to Light Industrial would not appear to be spot zoning.

Site 6:
• A significant portion of existing development near this site is residential and additional residential would appear to be compatible.
• To date, demand for Commercial Office uses in California City has been limited.

This may change in the future and the City should ensure there is an adequate amount of high-visibility commercial land available for development. • High quality multi-family housing can enhance the appearance of California City Boulevard while providing housing at relatively affordable costs. • If decisionmakers support residential in this area, then staff would recommend adjusting C-3 zone conditionally allowed uses to include multi-family residential, rather than rezoning this parcel to residential.

PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS AND INPUT
The Planning Commission considered the proposed rezones as a discussion item on February 7, 2023. During that meeting the following comments were received from the Commission and members of the public.

Public Comments
Sites 1, 2 and 3:
• Some concern noted over cannabis/industrial development along CCB.

Site 4:
• City may want to expand the airport in the future. New cannabis uses could limit use of land for non-cannabis commercial uses.

Site 6:
• Some support for allowing housing on CCB noted, but also that CCB should remain primarily commercial.

General Comments:
• Interest in seeing cannabis uses clustered together.
• Rezones should be based on need and limited availability of land. • Mixing of different uses in O-RA reduces potential for other projects in future years. 157 February 28, 2023
• Cannabis uses can consume infrastructure capacity that could otherwise go to non-cannabis development.
• Some general concerns over cannabis and compatibility with future uses.

Commission Comments
Sites 1, 2 and 3:
• Expressed some concern over CCB becoming the “cannabis corridor.” • June 2020 – PC decided no more zoning changes on CCB for cannabis. • A past decision is not the sole basis for future decisions - consider what is good for the City – all factors, including health, aesthetics.
• Comments of strong concern over proliferation of cannabis uses on CCB. • If we do development is highly visible area, can the development be accomplished in ways that propose the open desert feel, good screening of buildings.
• Referenced “cannabis corridor” in a negative context. Consistent theme throughout the commissioners.

Site 4:
• Would like to understand future airport expansions to make sure this site does not constrain future expansions.

Site 6:
• General support for Site 6, particularly interested in senior housing. • Have not seen any new office constructed in City in years, and so open to multifamily housing on California City Boulevard. • Supportive of multi-family to address shortage of housing and affordable housing.

General Comments:
• Lack of effective code enforcement was a significant concern. Generally, if the City continues to approval cannabis uses then code enforcement must be more effective.
• Several comments related specifically to cannabis odors. • Key factors in considering whether to rezone land:
o Availability of properly zoned land is a significant factor. o Water availability is an important factor in considering rezones. o Concern over the broad patchwork of development that rezones can promote.
• Would consider projects on a case-by-case basis, but applicants should provide compelling reasons to support the land use amendments.
• Balance community values of aesthetics, community health, long term vision with the opportunity presented by the cannabis industry. Be judicious in how the City considers rezones and accommodating cannabis uses.
158 February 28, 2023
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

No formal action is proposed at this time and therefore no review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is required or appropriate at this time.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact from the discussion, but if general plan amendments are needed, there will be a cost for consultant time.

COUNCIL OPTIONS
Not discuss this item
Continue the item to another meeting.

RECOMMENDATION
Provide general direction to City staff and applicants on whether the proposed land use amendments in the interests of the community. Council comments could consider the proposed sites as a whole or could consider the merits of the individual proposals.

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS – GENERAL
Is there a shortage of land available for industrial
uses? Would the GPA’s/Rezones facilitate investment
and economic development?
Would the GPAs/Rezones have the potential to result
in incompatible land uses?
Is there concern for dispersed development?
Willingness to approved rezones can result in
development spread more widely in the City. 14
173 February 28, 2023
POLICY CONSIDERATION – SITES 1, 2 AND 3
California City Boulevard is a primary community
roadway and key entry to the City. Would industrial
development fit in this locations?
Municipal water and wastewater services are not
available. Is this a key factor for cannabis uses?
Two cannabis businesses have been approved south
of CCB. Should this trend continue?
15 174 February 28, 2023
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS – SITE 4
This site is generally removed from sensitive uses and would not appear to have potential use conflicts.
Municipal water service is available at the site but
wastewater is not available.
.
16 175 February 28, 2023
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS – SITE 5
At 80 acres, by far the largest site under consideration. Removed from core City area and major roadways and
so would have minimal negative impacts.
Project could connect to existing water and
wastewater service lines.
Not contiguous to other Light Industrial, but other sites on Twenty Mule Team have been designated Industrial.
17 176 February 28, 2023
POLICY CONSIDERATION – SITE 6
California City Boulevard is zoned primarily for
commercial and office uses.
Limited office commercial development has
occurred on CCB.
High quality high-density housing could enhance the
appearance of California City Boulevard.
If supportive of housing, staff suggests making multifamily development conditionally allowed in C-3. 18 177 February 28, 2023

PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS
Concern over additional cannabis uses on California City Boulevard (sites 1, 2 and 3).
Some concerns over future expansion of the Airport (site 4). General concern over level of code enforcement and
code violations related to cannabis uses.
Some concern over proliferation of cannabis uses
broadly in the community.
General support for accommodating housing on
California City Boulevard in the City core (site 6). 19 178 February 28, 2023

RECOMMENDED ACTION

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
FEBRUARY 28, 2023
PREPARED BY: Mayor Kulikoff
SUBJECT: ARPA Funds

BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION
During the February 14, 2023 City Council meeting, Mayor Kulikoff requested this item on the February 28, 2023 City Council meeting agenda. After conducting a Townhall meeting on February 23, 2023 at 5:30PM and listening to public comments, it came to my attention that the central theme the majority of the public found concerning was city image and recreational activities. Below are my recommendations and cost allocations of ARPA funds for each project.

Skatepark
Cost: $600,000 for an approximate 10,000 sqft area.

The youth of California City needs us to stand up for them and help grow activities available in the area. A skatepark can help push us a step further in the right direction. In my opinion, this should be located between Hamburger Hill and the city pool. This is near the playground equipment and will provide a centrally located area for parents while preventing a lot of vandalism compared to being on Par 3.

Golf Course Clubhouse
Cost: $600,000 for completion of Clubhouse.

The Golf Course Clubhouse was already started years ago. Completing this project will help boost our city image and recreational services offered in our community. This project broke ground years ago and then funding was pulled. A lot of the work being performed will be from volunteers. We are a community of volunteers and as a City Council we should help by providing what we can to get us back on track. 181 February 28, 2023
California City Blvd Revitalization
Cost: Remaining ARPA funds allocated for this project.

Revitalizing California City Blvd between Hacienda Blvd and the bridge will positively impact our city image. This area of roughly a 0.4 mile stretch is home to many retail businesses as well as City Hall and a library. Developing this area similar to The Blvd in Lancaster can have social and economic benefits. Connecting people to the history of California City can be accomplished through plaques on walking paths. Benches can be strategically placed for community relaxation and interaction. Many design elements that improve the surrounding area can be an economic multiplier that brings greater opportunities to our city through a vision of progress. We have an ability as a community to put ourselves on a path of success that can benefit the next 50 years of California City and bring us one step closer to realizing the dream of what our city can accomplish.

FISCAL IMPACT
Minimal fiscal impact for discussion. Cost of approximately $2.596 million allocated from the remaining ARPA funds. Recreational and revitalization projects stated above will have a positive economic impact on the future of California City.

COUNCIL OPTIONS
Motion to approve the recommendations as stated.

Other City Council direction.

RECOMMENDATION
City Council to approve ARPA funds of $600,000 for completion of the Golf Course Clubhouse, $600,000 for a Skatepark at Central Park between Hamburger Hill and the city pool, and the remaining ARPA funds allocated for the revitalization of California City Blvd between Hacienda Blvd and the bridge.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
FEBRUARY 28, 2023
PREPARED BY: Mayor Kulikoff

SUBJECT: Consultant Impediments and the Need to Move In-House

BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION
During the February 14, 2023 City Council meeting, Mayor Kulikoff requested this item on the February 28, 2023 City Council meeting agenda.

California City has tied up too many resources with consultants when we should be providing services in-house. Cost of service increases exponentially when hiring consultants long-term. A consultant is meant to bridge the gap in city services in order to keep business flowing smoothly. When we tie ourselves up with consultants for every problem, we lose track of the solution and only create more impediments.

FISCAL IMPACT
Minimal fiscal impact for discussion. Positive fiscal impact to move city services in-house.

COUNCIL OPTIONS
As per City Council direction.

RECOMMENDATION
Discuss and give City Manager direction as determined by City Council.
