Acting City Clerk Weible,
Re: Council Should Establish Policy Identifying Essential vs. Non-Essential City Services Include this letter into the record for the upcoming city council meeting and distribute to city council members, city manager, and finance director; place this topic on the agenda to discuss at the next city council meeting.

Cal City is in a financial weak position. Cities in similar predicament are urged by the State Auditor to de-scope their budgets to cover only essential services and those nonessential services that do not add to the structural deficit. The Council has not defined city essential services, nor has levels of service been established for available revenue.

The CA State Auditor has repeatedly cautioned fiscally endangered municipalities to establish policies defining Essential versus Non-Essential Services. The Council should work with the city manager to delineate levels of service costs versus forecasted revenue available to achieve a structurally balanced budget. There is wide agreement that essential municipal services include public safety, infrastructure sustainability and perhaps as a gray area public transport. Utilities also deemed essential would include access to reliable electrical power, natural gas/propane, and communication services; normally provided by commercial firms.

Within the context of municipal essential services, it is straightforward to establish boundaries of critical functions applied to Cal City departments, excluding those services already provided by contractors.
• Public Safety (law enforcement, fire protection, and emergency medicalservices) • Infrastructure (water, sewer, streets)
• Municipal management and support functions of public safety and infrastructure • Public Transportation (Dial-A-Ride, maybe)
Municipal services that fall outside the scope of essential services; thus, are nonessential are shown in the table below. There are least eight candidates for services suspension or curtailment.
• Airport
• Parks & Recreation
• Tierra Del Soi Golf Course
,rovements
• Aspen Mall Landscaping & Lighting
• Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV)Program
• City-Managed Housing Corporation
• Cannabis Industry Oversight
Among the eight identified non-essential services, some are self-sustaining from revenue vs. expense aspects, which should lower their vulnerability to suspension or curtailment. The city is experiencing growing financial distress, but past and current councils have been unwilling to "draw the cut line." The Council should take immediate action to define essential services and receive the city manager's recommendation as to which non-essential services to cut or retain due to their revenue vs. expense expectations andj b y _wh levels of service.

Re: City Financial Perils Persist With the 2025/26 Budget Include this letter into the record for the upcoming city council meeting and distribute to city council members, city manager, and finance director; place this topic on the agenda to discuss at the next city council meeting.

The City's debt has exceeded ($61M). The 2025/26 approved budget was not provisioned to address the city's growing debt. Bad estimations from the 2024/25 budget will carryover to the 2025/26 budget; monthly cash flow forecasts are now essential to watch.

The City's financial position is growing worse by the month. There are three major debts facing the city: 1) operating and capital improvements cumulative debt has exceeded ($20M), 2) PERS Unfunded Liability is ($20.1M) as of the end of June 2024 [Source: June 2024 Annual Audit page 41, Note Bb.], and 3) Successor Agency Trust (Fund 75) owes ($20.7M) to the SDI Fund 72. The total of this debt now approaches ($61M).

The city's existing cash-on-hand and forecast revenue for 2025/26 is insufficient to cover the projected increase in debt. Without prompt action on the part of the City Manager, debt will continue to race skyward. There were no provisions in the 2025/26 budget to control debt growth; the budget instead contained a structural deficient. The council should not have approved the 2025/26 budget with these inherent deficiencies. As each month progresses, it will be harder to reverse the debt direction.

There is expectation for a "miracle to occur" by the Mid-Year Budget Review. But, the city has not held a Mid-Year Budget Review in 5-6 years. In concert with the companion letter dated August 1, 2025, the Council should, as policy, identify what city services are essential and choose which services are non-essential, both self-sustaining and non-self-sustaining. Some non-essential services/departments should be targeted for suspension or curtailment.

Beginning July 2025, the city endures ($61M) in debt with weak prospects to reduce this debt over time, it may already be too late. An important starting point is to get budget estimations under control. The very late 2024/25 budget (approved March 25, 2025) will likely have over $5M in end of FY revenue estimation errors and $5.5M in end of FY expense estimation errors. Total estimation errors at the GL-level are on track to exceed $20M. This large magnitude of estimation errors highly distorts and inflates the planned budget and taints the formulation of future year budgets.

Regrettably, the city has chosen not to follow recommended best practices and guidance from GFOA and GAAP to prepare effective and executable budgets. The City Manager has a responsibility to ensure the budget is conducted with transparency in the best interests of the public and city employees. The City Manager has been urged often to prepare monthly cash flowestimatesforthe2025/26budgetyearinorderto -ct

Re: City's High Legal, Litigation, and Settlement Costs Burden Low Income Families Include this letter into the record for the upcoming city council meeting and distribute to city council members, city manager, and finance director; place this topic on the agenda to discuss at the next city council meeting.

Thecity's high annual costof legalservices & litigation isover $300/household,which is more than twice the cost of Measure A & C parcel taxes. The 2024 Kern County Grand Jury report made 5 recommendations to reduce city legalcosts;fewweremet.

The city's legal, litigation, and settlement costs have achieved a new 5-year average highof$1.45Mperyear. This translates intoaper-household costof$307per year. This twice the annual cost of the city's prior parcel taxes. The 2024 Kern County Grand Jury (KCGJ) Report identified five recommendations #9, #10, #11, #13 & #14 associated with the city's high legal and litigation costs; most recommendationswere NOT MET by the city.

Re: Part 1, Water Enterprise Cash Grew to $11M in Just Over Four Years and Why Include this letter into the record for the upcoming city council meeting and distribute to city council members, city manager, and financedirector; place this topicon the agenda to discuss at the next city council meeting.

Water customers endured a huge water rate increase spanning five years and raised $11M in cash for water main replacement. Rather than using the revenue for capital improvements, cash was kept in the Water Enterprise Fund unused, violating Prop218.

The City Council approved a 126% Water Rate increase in Nov 2014. The Water Fund cash amount grew from less than $500K to over $11M in just over four years as shown in the chart below. Instead of using the acquired revenue for intended purposes, Public Works decided to stockpile the money and not apply it for water main replacement. The 2014 Water Rate Study's elevated rates were based on replacing aging water mains at a pace of 5.8 miles per year at a cost of $1.35M per year; the revenue was not used as intended, violating Prop 218.

Public Works was urged to rollback water rates in 2019, but did not. Rather than rolling back rates, Public Works introduced revised water rates in July & August 2020 without a Rate Study. The results of those 2020 rates are shown in the compa op ) r dated Aug 31, 2025.

Acting City Clerk Weible,
Re: Part 3, Water Rates are at Risks of Ballooning Due to City Mismanagement Include this letter into the record for the upcoming city council meeting and distribute to city council members, city manager, and finance director; place this topic on the agenda to discuss at the next city council meeting.

Consequence of ($4.44M) in Water Fund cash decline foretells of a large impending water rate increase when a new Water Rate Study is accomplished and approved. The city's mismanagement of the ailing water infrastructure is very costly to water ratepayers.

The last council-approved Water Rate Study occurred in Nov 2014, over 10 years ago.

As identified in Parts 1 & 2 letters dated Aug 30 & 31, 2025, the city's water rates violate Prop 218, codified in the CA Constitution Article 13C&D. Furthermore, Public Works has failed to comply with the frequency of water rate studies per CA Gov Code §53756(a), a 5-year ratesetting interval, and per CA Gov Code §54999.7(c), a 10-year maximum interval when the water supplier serves public schools.

In 2020, Public Works contracted for a Water Rate Study scheduled for completion by July 2021. However, the Study was not delivered until Sept 2023, 26 months late and at a cost of $67K. This 2023 Water Rate Study is NOT council-approved, NOT in effect, and contains a large number of errors, omissions, and discrepancies. Further, many of the assumptions and initial conditions used in the 2023 Water Rate Study are no longer valid. Because the Water Fund cash balance is ($4.44M) lower now than in 2020, the next council-approved water rate study is highly likely to substantially increase water rates due to avoidable cash loss.

Public Works has regularly and publicly stated in City Council Meetings "the water mains have failed." Yet, minimal water main replacement has occurred. At least 170 miles of aged steel water mains have not yet been replaced despite $40M in revenue collected from water rates and Water Standby Fees since 1993. Public Works has missed opportunities for receiving well over $20M in State Grants and Low Cost Loans for water infrastructure. The 2022 Kern County Grand Jury Report, Finding #4 stated, "Ca/ City's water line replacement program can only be described as derelict and incompetent.,,
Residents and businesses are the victims of city mismanagement of the water system and infrastructure. Prop 218 was passed in 1996, but the city ignored their requirement to pay for use of potable water services until 2014, for 18 years- back then there were two city 18-hole golf courses. Then in 2020, Public Works highly discounted potable water rates for the golf course, (see Part 2 companion letter dated Aug 31, 2025) violating Prop 218.

Reasons the aforementioned 2023 Water Rate Study has been shelved, besides the errors, omissions, and discrepancies, is due to two specific causes. First, the 2023 Study, page 2, states, "invalidated the Prop 218 compliant cost of service allocation," cites the 2020 water rates (which exist now) violate Prop 218. Second, the 2023 Rate Study eliminates the non-compliant "temporary acre-feet rate," which would the.p force the golf course to finally pay actual proportional cost of services for potable water.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
September 9, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Christy Marie Lopez, Assistant City Attorney
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolutions Calling a Special Election For Filling Up To Two (2) Vacancies, or in the alternative, Consider the Appointment of Up To Two (2) Councilmembers to Fill Vacancies on the City Council

BACKGROUND
Councilmember Michael Kulikoff and Mayor Pro Tem Jesse Hightower were elected to serve a four (4) year term as City Councilmembers ("Councilmembers") in the November 2022 and 2024 general elections, respectively. At the July 8, 2025 Council Meeting, Councilmember Michael Kulikoff resigned, and on July 10, 2025 Mayor Pro Tem Jesse Hightower resigned. Due to the resignations, there are two vacancies on the City Council. Per the Government Code, the City Council must fill the vacancy either by appointment or by calling a special election within 60 days of the vacancies.

DISCUSSION
California Government Code Section 36512 describes the actions to be taken in connection with a vacancy in an office. It states that if a vacancy occurs in an elective office, the council shall, within 60 days from the commencement of the vacancy, either fill the vacancy by appointment or call a special election to fill the vacancy. Based on the dates of resignation identified above, the Council must act by September 6, 2025 to fill former Councilmember Kulikoff’s seat and by September 8, 2025 to fill former Mayor Pro Tem Hightower’s seat.

It should be noted that Government Code Section 36512 provides that in the event that City opts to fill the vacancies by special election, the “person elected to fill a vacancy holds office for the unexpired term of the former incumbent.” (Government Code Section 36512(b)(1).) Councilmember Kulikoff’s term would have expired in November of 2026 and former Mayor ProTem Jesse Hightower’s term would have expired in November of 2028.

If the council fills the vacancy by appointment, and the vacancy occurs within the first half of the term and at least 130 days prior to the next general election, the person shall hold office until the next general election, where the position will be up for election NB 1
4903-3092-5397 v2
again and filled for the remainder of the term. Therefore, the person appointed to fill former Mayor Pro Tem Hightower’s seat will hold the office until the certification of the results from the election in November 2028 and the person appointed to fill former Councilmember Kulikoff’s seat, will hold the office until certification of results from the election in November 2026. Should the council desire to appoint councilmembers, a proposed resolution is attached.

If the City Council desires to call a special election to fill the vacancies, it is recommended that the City Council adopt the following proposed resolutions: (1) Resolution calling the Special Election, to fill the two vacancies, to be held on June 2, 2026; (2) Resolution requesting that this Special Election be consolidated with the Statewide Primary Election being held by the County on June 2, 2026; (3) Resolution concerning procedures for candidate statements; and (4) Resolution concerning procedures in the case of a tie vote.

RECOMMENDATION

1. Motion to appoint up to two (2) Councilmembers; or

2. Adopt resolutions calling for a special municipal election to fill two (2) vacancies on the City Council and authorize the City Clerk as follows:

1. Resolution calling the Special Election to fill the two vacancies to be held on June 2, 2026; and

2. Resolution requesting that this Special Election be consolidated with the Statewide Primary Election being held by the County on June 2, 2026; and

3. Resolution concerning procedures for candidate statements; and

4. Resolution concerning procedures in the case of a tie vote; and

5. Authorize the City Clerk to finalize and make such modifications to these Resolutions as may be required by Kern County and applicable law, subject to the City Attorney’s approval as to form.

FISCAL IMPACT
In the event that a special election is called, costs will be incurred. Many factors impact the cost of elections, including voting systems, ballot printing costs, ballot postage, and voter information guide typesetting, printing and postage fees. The approximate costs for a special election to fill the vacancies that is consolidated with the Statewide Primary Election held by the County on June 2, 2026 is approximately $50,000 including printing costs.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The adoption of the proposed resolutions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it does not qualify as a “project” pursuant to Public Resource Code section NB 1
4903-3092-5397 v2
21065 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15320, 15378 and 15061(b)(3) since it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the City’s action would cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

SUBJECT: A Resolution Of The City Council Of The City Of California City Authorizing The City Manager To Execute The Contract With BHT Engineering, Inc. For On-Call Professional Engineering Services for Local, State, And Federally Funded Projects BACKGROUND: City Staff created and advertised an RFQ for On-Call Professional Engineering Services to comply with State and Federal Regulations. Only two firms submitted their qualifications, BHT and DPSI. Of the two qualifications submitted, only one was responsive (BHT). DPSI was marked as “non-responsive” due to a lack of required content in their submission.

BHT contract expired 6/30/2025, BHT had been the City’s Engineer for the last six years. So currently the City does not have a contract with an Engineering Firm. BHT has done a great job for the City over the last six years and since they were the one responsive firm to submit their qualififcations, staff would like the City Council to authorizes the City Manager to enter into a contract with BHT until 06/30/2030.

RECOMMENDATION: The City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to sign a new agreement with BHT with an expiration date of 06-30-2030.
