COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
January 14, 2025
PREPARED BY: Inge Elmes, OHV Manager

SUBJECT: Approve Purchase of Grant Funded Big Tex Dump Trailer Background:

The city of California City received grant funding for the purchase of a 2024 Big Tex Dump trailer to be used for the OHMVR Division ground operations grant program.

This unit will be specifically used to assist in trash haul and clean up within the OHV riding areas. Throughout the years, there has been an increase in trash dumping in the second community. Current OHV fleet trucks must make multiple trips as the dumping has increased to larger and bulkier items. Trash clean-up is a large role within the ground operation grant project agreements. The addition of a dump trailer will assist the ground crew greatly in meeting grant obligations.

The following quotes were obtained from three local trailer vendors. · Trailer Super Store $13,648.16
· Big Tex Trailer World $12,956.30
· The Trailer Zone $11,407.09
Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve quote from The Trailer Zone in the amount of $11,407.09 and not to exceed grant funding award of $15,000.00.

Fiscal Impact:

Purchase will be allocated in the amount of $11,407.09 to GL code 16-4253-740. No match is required.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
January 14, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joe Barragan, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: SCBAs for the Wastewater Treatment Plan (WWTP) BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:

The WWTP uses Chlorine Gas to treat the wastewater that enters the facility. A recent CalOsha visit determined that the WWTP needs two SCBAs that meet the current CalOsha regulations.

Staff have obtained two quotes for two SCBAs for the WWTP. One quote is for two brand-new SCBAs, and the second quote is for two demo models that are less expensive than the new ones.

The SCBAs are not high-use, so the lesser demo units will work for Staff. These SCBAs are similar to the ones at the fire department, so the fire department can assist in keeping them up to date. Additionally, if there is an emergency and the fire department needs to perform a rescue the packs will be compatible. The fire department can plug into each other and share air with a downed water operator in an emergency if there is a chlorine leak.

Also, the City must purchase these units as soon as possible to ensure the City is not cited from OSHA with a violation as a “willful serious or repeated serious act.

FISCAL IMPACT:
2024/25 Budget Year (once Approved)
GL Fund# 52-5213-451 Safety Equip & Supplies $14,504.60 or $20,115.57 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council approve the purchase of two SCBAs to satisfy CalOsha regulations. The council can approve the purchase of the new SCBAs or the demo units for less; either one will work for Staff.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
January 14, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joaquin Vazquez, Special Outside Counsel (Hensley Law Group) SUBJECT: Adoption of Two Resolutions Memorializing the City Council’s Determination of Cannabis Business Taxes Respectively Owed by Herbs Cali Krush, Inc. and Regal Green Remedies, Inc. Pursuant to Each’s Duly Conducted Appeal Hearing
RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. Adopt the proposed resolution memorializing the City Council’s minute order determination for Herbs Cali Krush, Inc.’s October 28, 2024 appeal hearing that Herbs Cali Krush, Inc. must pay $26,172.72 to the City pursuant to the terms therein.

2. Adopt the proposed resolution memorializing the City Council’s minute order determination for Herbs Cali Krush, Inc.’s November 4, 2024 appeal hearing that Regal Green Remedies, Inc. must pay $15,691.04 to the City pursuant to the terms therein.

3. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

Regulatory Framework
At the June 6, 2017 municipal election, City voters approved Measure A, which established taxes for various cannabis business activities, such as commercial cannabis cultivation. The cannabis business tax rates are set forth in CMC Title 3 (Finance), Chapter 2 (Revenue), Article 8 (Cannabis Business Tax). Article 8 is attached to this report as Attachment 1.

Commercial cannabis cultivation is taxed at a rate based on canopy square footage of and the type of cultivation as follows:
· Artificial Lighting: $7.00 per square foot of canopy space annually. · Combination Lighting: $5.00 per square foot of canopy space annually. · No Artificial Lighting: $1.00 per square foot of canopy space annually. · Nurseries: $0.50 per square foot of canopy space annually. (CCMC §§ 3-

2.8.050(b) and 3-2.8.050(d)).

A cannabis business must remit payment for cannabis business taxes, in arrears, on a quarterly basis to the City’s Tax Administrator. The failure to timely remit payment deems the taxes delinquent and subjects the business to penalties and interest. (CCMC §§ 3-

2.8.060-3-2.8.100). For commercial cannabis cultivation, the tax due for each calendar quarter is based upon the cultivation business’s canopy square footage for the quarter and must be 25% of the applicable annual rate. (CCMC § 3-2.8.060(a)).

The City’s Tax Administrator can conduct an audit of a cannabis business’s books and records to determine the amount of cannabis taxes that the business owes. (CCMC §§ 3-2.8.190). The Tax Administrator may make a deficiency determination regarding taxes owe based upon a cannabis business statement or any information that may come into the Tax Administrator’s possession within three years the tax was originally due and payable and must send a deficiency notice to the business. (CCMC §§ 3-2.8.220 and 3-

2.8.240).

A cannabis business can appeal a Tax Administrator’s determination of taxes, interest, penalties, and fees owed to the City Council within 30 days of the tax determination. The City Council’s administrative determination of the appeal is final and conclusive and must be served upon the appealing business.

2.8.240).

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Karin Schambeck, Assistant City Attorney
SUBJECT: Reinstatement of Planning Commission
UPDATE/DISCUSSION:

On August 27, 2024, the City Council temporarily suspended the Planning Commission after determining that the suspension of the Planning Commission would ensure the timely and efficient processing of applications, and in turn, promote economic development and job creation. The City Council assumed the powers and duties of the Planning Commission during its suspension.

The City Council required the Planning Commissioners to participate in mandatory training during its suspension for ethics, harassment, hostile workplace training and conflict resolution. During the first training, two Commissioners left the training shortly after it commenced and did not complete the training. A second training occurred via zoom on December 9, 2024. While only one Commissioner was unable to attend on Zoom due to a prior obligation, a second Commissioner did not participate in the training. Both commissioners were advised that they needed to complete the training, however, to date, neither of them completed it.

The City Council may consider reinstatement of the Planning Commission, including consideration that two Commissioners did not complete the training.

PREPARED BY: Victor Ponto, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement for Executive Management Consultant

BACKGROUND
The City Council has identified a need for an expert in municipal executive management to assist the City’s executive management staff in competently and efficiently exercising their discretionary decision-making authority concerning the administrative affairs of the City, including but not limited to organizational management, fiscal expenditure, and the development and implementation of City policy as determined by the City Council.

DISCUSSION
Waypoint Strategies, LLC, has been identified as an entity that can successfully meet the City Council’s stated needs. Towards that end, the City Attorney’s Office has drafted, and met and conferred with, representatives from Waypoint Strategies, LLC on a professional consultant services agreement (“Agreement”) for professional executive management consulting services. The proposed professional consultant services agreement is attached as Exhibit A.

The Agreement provides, in relevant part, that Waypoint Strategies, LLC, is to be retained by the City as a professional consultant to:

Provide advice, guidance, and consultation to City executive management staff, including but not limited to the various directors of City departments and those persons designated as “Officers” by City ordinance (other than the City Attorney), including the City’s Acting City Manager, in furtherance of facilitating such persons’ exercise of competent and efficient discretionary decision-making authority concerning the
administration of the affairs of the City, organizational management, fiscal expenditure, and the development,
advocacy and implementation of City policy.

The intent of the Agreement is to ensure that no major discretionary administrative decisions concerning such matters be decided upon absent the prior consideration of the professional consultant’s advice, guidance and consultation. The Agreement is not intended to, nor does it, erode, displace, or usurp the discretionary decision-making authority vested in the above-referenced persons pursuant to applicable law.

The City Attorney is identified as the City’s representative in all matters pertaining to the administration and performance of the Agreement.

The Agreement provides that the professional consultant shall be paid an hourly rate of one-hundred and seventy-five dollars per hour ($175/hour), with total compensation under the Agreement not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000).

The Agreement shall commence immediately upon execution and shall automatically terminate upon the employment commencement date of a permanent City Manager.

FISCAL IMPACT
Total compensation under the Agreement shall not exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000).

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council: (1) take action to approve the proposed Agreement, and (2) direct the City Attorney to execute the Agreement on behalf of the City.

All policies of Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance shall be primary and any other insurance, deductible, or self-insurance maintained by the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, or volunteers shall not contribute with this primary insurance. Policies shall contain or be endorsed to contain such provisions.

3.2.9.5 Waiver of Subrogation. All policies of Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance shall contain or be endorsed to waive subrogation against the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers or shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Consultant hereby grants to City a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of said Consultant may acquire against the City by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance. Consultant agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to effect this waiver of subrogation, but this provision applies regardless of whether or not the City has received a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer. Consultant shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

3.2.9.6 Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. Any deductible or self-insured retention must be approved in writing by the City and shall protect the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers in the same manner and to the same extent as they would have been protected had the policy or policies not contained a deductible or selfinsured retention. 7 3.2.9.7 Evidence of Insurance. The Consultant, concurrently with the execution of the Agreement, and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness thereof, shall deliver either certified copies of the required policies, or original certificates on forms approved by the City, together with all endorsements affecting each policy. Required insurance policies shall not be in compliance if they include any limiting provision or endorsement that has not been submitted to the City for approval. The certificates and endorsements for each insurance policy shall be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. At least fifteen (15 days) prior to the expiration of any such policy, evidence of insurance showing that such insurance coverage has been renewed or extended shall be filed with the City. If such coverage is cancelled or reduced and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, Consultant shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of such cancellation or reduction of coverage, file with the City evidence of insurance showing that the required insurance has been reinstated or has been provided through another insurance company or companies.

3.2.9.8 Failure to Maintain Coverage. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement effective upon notice.

3.2.9.9 Acceptability of Insurers. Each such policy shall be from a company or companies with a current A.M. Best's rating of no less than A:VII and authorized to transact business of insurance in the State of California, or otherwise allowed to place insurance through surplus line brokers under applicable provisions of the California Insurance Code or any federal law.

3.2.9.10 Enforcement of Agreement Provisions (non estoppel).

Consultant acknowledges and agrees that actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligation on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

3.2.9.11 Requirements Not Limiting. Requirement of specific coverage or minimum limits contained herein are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits, or other requirement, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance.

If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums contained herein, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.

3.2.9.12 Claims Made Policies. If any of the required policies provide coverage on a claims-made basis:
(A) The Retroactive Date must be shown and must be
before the effective date of the Agreement or the beginning of work under this Agreement. 8 (B) Such insurance must be maintained and evidence
of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of all services under this Agreement.
(C) If coverage is canceled or non-renewed, and not
replaced with another claims-made policy form with a Retroactive Date prior to the effective date of the Agreement, the Consultant must purchase "extended reporting" coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of all services under this Agreement.

3.2.9.13 Special Risks or Circumstances. City reserves the right to modify these requirements, including limits, based on the nature of the risk, prior experience, insurer, coverage, or other special circumstances.

3.2.9.14 Insurance for Subconsultants. Consultant shall include all subconsultants engaged in any work for Consultant relating to this Agreement as additional insureds under the Consultant's policies, or the Consultant shall be responsible for causing subconsultants to purchase the appropriate insurance in compliance with the terms of these Insurance Requirements, including adding the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers as additional insureds to the subconsultant's policies. All policies of Commercial General Liability insurance provided by Consultant's subconsultants performing work relating to this Agreement shall be endorsed to name the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers as additional insureds using endorsement form ISO CG 20 38 04 13 or an endorsement providing equivalent coverage. Consultant shall not allow any subconsultant to commence work on any subcontract relating to this Agreement until it has received satisfactory evidence of subconsultant's compliance with all insurance requirements under this Agreement, to the extent applicable. The Consultant shall provide satisfactory evidence of compliance with this section upon request of the City.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
January 14, 2025
PREPARED BY: Latisha Lamberth, Acting City Manager
SUBJECT: Request for Council Approval to Engage Diamond IT for Security Monitoring at the Public Works Yard

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
This action is prompted by the recent increase in break-ins, which have compromised the safety and security of our facilities and equipment.

The Public Works Yard has experienced several security breaches, resulting in the loss of valuable equipment and increased operational disruptions. These incidents highlight the urgent need for a robust security solution to safeguard our assets and ensure continuous operations.

PROPOSAL
Diamond IT, a reputable provider of security solutions, has submitted a comprehensive proposal to install and monitor a state-of-the-art security system tailored to our needs. The proposal includes:

1. Installation of high-definition surveillance cameras at strategic locations.

2. Real-time monitoring and alert system to detect unauthorized access.

3. Regular maintenance and technical support to ensure system reliability.

4. A detailed report of all security incidents for accountability and review.

FISCAL IMPACT
The quote provided by Diamond IT is competitive and aligns with our budgetary considerations. The cost includes installation, equipment, and a monthly monitoring fee. Investing in this security measure will not only prevent future losses but also potentially reduce insurance premiums. GL will be charge to 60-6000- 752.

RECOMMENDATION
Given the urgency and necessity of enhanced security at the Public Works Yard, I recommend that the council approve the engagement of Diamond IT. Their expertise and the proposed system will significantly enhance our security infrastructure and deter future incidents

Dear Latisha,
Following our discussion, I have prepared a proposal to implement the camera security system, which is currently in use at PD and City Hall, at the Public Worksfacility. The proposal has been adjusted to be implemented in phases to align with your budget. The first phase will include adding security cameras at the Admin office and Public Works Shop, as discussed. This phase is separated to allow the City the flexibility to add the desired audio deterrentsystem if the budget permits.

Also, as discussed, payment terms for this project will be:
 100% hardware will be billed at signing - $15,297.60
 50% labor due at signing $7,858.94
 Balance of labor due at project completion - $7,858.94 Please review the proposal, and if you approve, kindly sign the authorization page to approve our proposed solution. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

Sincerely,

Executive Summary
Business and TechnicalObjectives
The City of California City Public Works Department, Public Works Yard has had multiple thefts and break-ins, increasing in frequency this year.By implementing a comprehensive surveillance solution, the city aims to safeguard valuable equipment, materials, and infrastructure, ensuring continuity in public services and minimizing the financial impact of stolen assets. The camera system will help reduce the costs associated with security personnel and insurance premiums by providing a more reliable, automated means of monitoring the yard. Additionally,the system will act as a deterrent to potential criminals, thereby improving the overall safety and operational efficiency of the yard.

The technical objectives of the new camera system include the installation of high-resolution cameras with night vision capabilities to ensure 24/7 surveillance, even in low-light conditions. The system will also incorporate motion detectorsthat can detect unauthorized movement within critical areas of the yard. These detectors will trigger an alarm, alerting staff and security personnel in real-time to potential security breaches. The cameras and sensors will be integrated into the current centralized monitoring platform in use at Cal City Police Department and Cal City City Hall, allowing for remote access and live video feeds.

Furthermore, the system will be designed for scalability, enabling the addition of more cameras or sensors in the future as security needs evolve. Finally,the system will also be installed with outdoor speakersto create a loud siren to act as a deterrent for any trespassers.

In consideration of City of California City’s IT budget, the decision was made to limit the scope of the camera installation to only the Administrative and Shop buildings. However,the camera system is scalable, so as the city’s budget grows, the city will have the opportunity to install additional cameras throughout the Public Works yard.
