B. Planning Department Updates

1. Housing Element: The City continues to make progress on the 2023–2031 Housing Element. In response to informal comments received from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), staff prepared revisions to the Draft Housing Element that was released in August 2025. The revised draft was made available for public review beginning October 6, 2025, consistent with State posting requirements.

The revised document was resubmitted to HCD for review, and on October 16, 2025, the City received a response letter from HCD indicating that the revised draft meets statutory requirements and will substantially comply once it is adopted by the City Council and resubmitted to HCD for final certification. The current 60-day HCD review period is in progress and will conclude on October 31, 2025. During this review period, the City continues to encourage public participation and consultation with stakeholders and interested parties.

Following the conclusion of the State review period, staff will prepare the Housing Element for consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council, including public hearings for adoption. Once adopted, the document will be resubmitted to HCD for certification. Completion of the Housing Element will allow the City to begin implementation of housing programs and maintain eligibility for certain State funding opportunities related to housing and infrastructure.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
October 28, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Christopher Lopez, City Manager
SUBJECT: A Resolution of the Mayor and City Council of California City Repealing Resolution 24-3061 and Reprioritizing the AES Clean Energy Donation to the City of California City for Previously Specified Community Benefits Purchases for the City of California City
BACKGROUND:

On November 4, 2025, the Mayor and Council were presented with a resolution accepting a Community Benefit Funding Donation from AES Green Energy Corporation in the amount of $2.7M. The Mayor and Council formally adopted Resolution 24-3061. Portions of that staff report included the following information:
• AES has now approached the City of California City to identify projects and capital needs across all of the city departments to determine where and how they can enhance local services through a fiscal donation.
• After identifying requests and needs from the city departments, AES selected several worthy projects and capital items to donate funds towards to make a positive community impact and bring a community benefit to California City. • In total, AES is requesting to donate $2,700,000.00 toward city projects and purchases in the Parks Department, City Hall, Code Enforcement, Police Department, Fire Department, Planning Department, and Public Works. The list of AES approved projects and capital items, along with associated funding costs through a restricted donation to the city is listed below.

The Resolution presented to the Mayor and City Council did not authorize the then Acting City Manager to enter into a formal agreement with AES. On November 15, 2024, the Acting City Manager executed an agreement with 26SB 8me LLC, a Delaware limited liability company further obligating the City with additional conditions and terms for this donation.

While the then City Council approved the resolution, the current City Council has provided direction to reprogram and reprioritize the priorities of the city. The current reality of the City of California City is summarized below with some of these high-level issues:

Page 44 ends

CC 3
• Measure C expired on June 30, 2024, resulting in over a $6M revenue loss to the City • The then Acting City Manager in 2024 recommended the elimination of 19 FTE to partially offset the impacts of the loss of Measure C
• Since 2022, the City no longer had general liability insurance, creating a significant issue for the City including but not limited to the increased cost of litigation • The City Council adopted its FY 24/25 Budget and FY 25/26 Budget with the use of fund balance to continue critical operations, which creates a short-term solution without long term financial sustainability for the City
• The current City Council has identified the importance of general liability insurance, including the need for insurance coverage for its newly acquired assets via the donations provided to the City
• The City Council approved the terms for general liability insurance on October 14, 2025 with an annual premium of $1,530,000

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
On October 14, 2025, the Mayor and Council were presented with general liability insurance options, and various mechanisms to fund insurance including the use of fund balance and the use of Bellefield revenues. The Mayor and City Council provided direction to the City Manager to utilize Bellefield revenues for this allocation.

Based on the General Fund’s contribution for general liability insurance, the total allocation from Bellefield revenues totals $1,530,000 which will be broken out over two years, with the following allocation:

Fiscal Year Contribution Amount from Bellefield
Revenues
FY 25/26 $1,090,295.45
FY 26/27 $439,704.55
TOTAL $1,530,000
It should be noted that the allocation of $1,530,000 will be allocated over two years. The second year for insurance premiums will only be partially funded from Bellefield revenues; the remaining will need to be made up in some other mechanism.

DISCUSSION WITH AES
On October 16, 2025, the City Manager’s Office informed AES of the direction provided by the Mayor and City Council from October 14, 2025. During this discussion, the City informed AES of the City’s intention to reprioritize the allocations due to the financial challenges facing the City.

City staff has provided AES with the proposed resolution and staff prior to the posting of the October 28, 2025 City Council agenda, and has continued discussions with AES to ensure transparency.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council adopt a Resolution repealing Resolution 24-3061 and reprioritizing the AES Clean Energy donation to the City of California City for previously specified Community Benefits Purchases for the City of California City.

WHEREAS, the City adopted its FY 24/25 Budget and FY 25/26 Budget with the use of fund balance to continue critical operations, which creates a short term solution without long term financial sustainability for the City; and WHEREAS, the current City Council has identified the importance of general liability insurance, including the need for insurance coverage for its newly acquired assets via the Bellefield donation; and

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
October 28, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Christopher Lopez, City Manager
Joe Barragan, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of California City Approving the Process of Setting New Water and Wastewater Division Rates through a Rate Study
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:

The industry standard is to perform comprehensive rate studies every three to five years; our last study was started in 2021 but was never adopted. The last adopted rate study was in 2014. In 2020, the City temporarily reduced rates for water and wastewater to promote water conservation and address concerns from some members of the public. These lower rates were only anticipated to be in effect for six months until the new rate study was completed and adopted. However, the new rate study has not been adopted. This has resulted in an annualized revenue loss of approximately $1.75 million to $2.23 million for the Water Division and $490,000 for the Wastewater Division; not including the prison closure. Including the prison closure both divisions have had a revenue loss of $13,000,000 and $3,100,000 respectively, from the time the rates were lowered in 2020 until today. This translates into increased rates the longer short falls are allowed to persist and increased project costs from standard inflation rates.

Utilizing a rate of 5% per year for construction costs, this translates into a 25% increase to project costs. Meaning less can be done with the same amount of money allocated if the project had been done earlier. This is also before considering increased repair costs for delayed projects due to outdated funding projections and implementation. The longer the delay in approving a rate study continues the larger the rate increases will be in the future and the less will get done due to higher costs. Continuing to avoid these items will result in higher repair costs due to system age and condition as well as higher standard rates due to water loss.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None with this action.

RECOMMENDATION:

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
October 28, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Christopher Lopez, City Manager
Shannon Hayes, Acting Public Safety Director
SUBJECT: A Resolution of The City Council of The City of California City, California, Authorizing the Police Department to Proceed With AT&T For The 9-1-1 Emergency Phone System Upgrade, And
Authorization For the City Manager or Designee to Execute All Related Documents and Accept CPE Allotment Funds

BACKGROUND
The California City Police Department’s current 9-1-1 emergency phone system is over five years old and no longer meets current technology standards. To ensure the City remains compliant with statewide 9-1-1 technology improvements, the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) awarded the City of California City a Call Processing Equipment (CPE) Funding Letter of Intent for $365,000 (Attachment A) to replace and upgrade the existing 9-1-1 system.

Cal OES has contracted with AT&T as an approved statewide vendor to provide the equipment, installation, and implementation services for the upgraded VESTA 9-1-1 On-Premise Call Handling system. AT&T, which is already the City’s existing 9-1-1 telecommunications provider, has provided the Police Department with a quote of $317,751.17 to complete the system upgrade.

Acceptance of the CPE Allotment funds requires that the City maintain 24/7 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) operations for a minimum of five years. If PSAP operations are not maintained at that level, the City could become financially responsible for future maintenance and 9-1-1 network service costs.

DISCUSSION
The City’s current 9-1-1 system has outlived its useful life and is incompatible with current technology standards. To address this, Cal OES has allocated funding specifically for local agencies to upgrade their 9-1-1 call processing systems. As part of a statewide effort, Cal OES conducted a competitive Request for Proposal process to identify qualified vendors. Through this process, AT&T was chosen as the provider authorized to carry out the upgrades under standardized state contract pricing. Since AT&T is already the department’s current 9-1-1 telecommunications provider and has an existing working relationship with the City, continuing with AT&T ensures a

Page 92 ends

NB 2
4929-3951-1413 v2
smooth transition with minimal operational disruption. Additionally, because Cal OES will pay AT&T directly for the equipment and services, the City’s financial responsibility for this upgrade is zero dollars ($0). AT&T’s proposal includes replacing the existing system with two VESTA 9- 1-1 which include CPUs, backroom interface components, audio interface equipment, keypads, mice, software licenses, and 60 months of off-site maintenance. Staff has reviewed the proposal and confirmed that AT&T’s solution fully satisfies the current and future needs of the California City Police Department’s Communications Center. Any remaining funds from the CPE Allotment after completing the system upgrade are considered residual funds. These funds may be used to purchase additional CA 9-1-1 Branch–approved equipment and services, as detailed in the Service/Equipment Approval List for Residual Funds. This flexibility allows the City to improve its emergency communication capabilities further while remaining within the scope of Cal OESapproved expenses.

RECOMMENDATION

1. Authorize acceptance of the CPE Allotment funds provided by Cal OES for the 9-1-1 system replacement.

2. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to sign all related agreements, documents, and forms necessary to complete the project.

3. Authorize the California City Police Department to move forward with AT&T for the implementation of the 9-1-1 Emergency Phone System Upgrade.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund. The total project cost of $317,751.17 will be paid directly by Cal OES to AT&T through the approved CPE Allotment funds.

CONCLUSION
Approval of this item will allow the California City Police Department to proceed with the necessary 9-1-1 system upgrade through AT&T, ensuring continued reliability of emergency communications and compliance with state-mandated technology standards—all at no cost to the City.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
October 28, 2025
TO: The City Council
FROM: Christopher Lopez, City Manager
Anu Doravari, Planning Consultant
Subject: Housing Element Certification Update

BACKGROUND
Housing Element Adoption and Upcoming Zoning Text Amendments The City is required by State law to adopt its 2023–2031 Housing Element to maintain compliance with State Housing Element Law and remain eligible for State housing and infrastructure funding programs. The public review period for the revised Draft Housing Element concludes on October 31, 2025, after which the City may proceed with local adoption following the California Department of Housing and Community Development’s (HCD) approval.

DISCUSSION
The Planning Commission will hold a noticed public hearing to consider a recommendation to the City Council on adoption of the Housing Element. Following Planning Commission action, the Housing Element will return to the City Council for final adoption at a future public hearing.

No action is requested from the City Council at this time; this report is provided to inform the Council of the upcoming adoption schedule and public hearing requirements.

As part of Housing Element implementation and to meet State compliance requirements, the City must also process a series of Zoning Text Amendments (ZTAs) related to housing and land use. These amendments address housing programs required by HCD, including by-right housing provisions and zoning consistency updates. Because there are multiple ZTAs, these will be presented to the Council in a series of study sessions and public hearings over the coming months to allow for adequate discussion and public input. Staff will coordinate the schedule to ensure all noticing requirements are met and adequate time is provided for public review and hearings.

TO: The City Council
FROM: Christopher Lopez, City Manager
Anu Doravari, Planning Consultant
SUBJECT: Hearing on CoreCivic Operation of an Immigrant Detention Facility within the City

BACKGROUND
City staff has received a Site Plan Review (SPR) application from CoreCivic for the operation of a detention center at an existing facility within the City. The application is currently under administrative review, and staff is evaluating it for compliance with all applicable zoning, land use, and design standards.

Under the California City Municipal Code, this type of application is ministerial in nature, meaning that City staff must approve the project if it meets all objective requirements set forth in the City’s codes and regulations. A ministerial review does not involve discretion or policy judgment. The City Council is not the decision maker on a ministerial SPR.

DISCUSSIONS
Senate Bill (SB) 29 (Civil Code § 1670.9(d)) requires 180 days’ public notice and two public meetings before a city “issues a permit for the building or reuse of existing buildings” by a private corporation to detain noncitizens. Tonight’s agendized item is that hearing to receive public input and provide transparency to the extent SPR approval constitutes a “permit for the building or reuse of existing buildings.” The Council is not being asked to make findings, impose conditions, or take action on the SPR.

At this time, no approvals, permits, or entitlements have been issued for the proposed use. Staff continues to review the application and anticipates that it may move forward to approval once compliance with all applicable regulations, including SB 29, is established.

Next Steps
• Staff will document the hearing, comments received, and responses as part of the administrative record for the SPR.
• Staff will complete the review of the pending SPR application for objective compliance with local and state requirements.
• Upon confirmation of compliance with SB 29 and applicable municipal standards, staff may proceed with administrative approval of the SPR.

• Staff will provide future status updates as appropriate.

RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file this report concerning the SB 29 hearing and the status of the ministerial Site Plan Review application submitted by CoreCivic. No action is requested from the City Council, as this application is a ministerial, staff-level decision.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
October 28, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Christopher Lopez, City Manager
SUBJECT: A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager and Mayor to Execute a Cooperative Agreement Between California City and the County of Kern for the Provision of an Interim Fire Chief and Receive Direction from the City Council Regarding this Item
BACKGROUND:

In 2024, the City eliminated the positions of Police and Fire Chief. The City then contracted for an Interim Fire Chief, and eventually created the Director of Public Safety with the scope of overseeing the Police and Fire Departments to realize budget savings. The incumbent appointed to that role is currently on paid administrative leave, and Shannon Hayes has been acting as the Director of Public Safety since August 6, 2025 and done a remarkable job.

On August 14 2025, the City Manager’s Office met with all the line level personnel of the Fire Department. The purpose of this meeting was to allow the free flow of information, ask questions, and determine the needs of the men and women of the California City Fire Department. During this discussion, the following themes emerged from the rank-and-file staff:

1. Service demand levels are increasing

2. The CoreCivic facility will require additional calls for service, and there are concerns with the additional workload it will place on staff

3. Long term financial stability is necessary, and the City should plan for enough funding in reserves

4. The City can improve its communications with the community

5. The Fire Department needs its own Fire Chief
a. The concept of a “Public Safety Director” was only intended to be short term, and it was not intended to be this way into the future.

6. Kern County is a great and valuable resources and they do an incredible job assisting with operations when they have the capacity to do so

7. The Department needs assistance with its budget, personnel management, and other administrative functions that is ordinarily handled by a Chief Executive Officer.

During this discussion, the idea of utilizing Kern County Fire as interim resource came up, and there was discussion regarding this with the collective personnel. Given the request for specific leadership for the Fire Department, and the request for leadership that is not shared between the

Page 132 ends

NB 6
4913-1647-0389 v1
Police and Fire Departments, the City Manager’s Office committed to reaching out to Kern County Fire to determine whether there was an opportunity to explore this option because there was support from the rank and file for this concept.

Subsequent to this conversation, the City Manager’s Office made contact with Kern County leadership, and connected with the Kern County Fire Chief. Kern County was willing to assist the City, and a draft agreement was prepared for review and discussion.

Due to the lack of Council meetings in August and September (because the City Council lacked a quorum), this item could not be brought forward. Now with four council members routinely attending council meetings, the City is able to now consider this agreement.

The terms of the cooperative agreement are highlighted below:
• The County will provide a Division Chief to serve as Interim Fire Chief for the City of California City
• The Fire Division Chief shall perform the services needed to serve California City which will include, without limitation, performing the functions and duties specified by statute and relevant regulations for a Fire Chief, and other legally permissible and proper duties and functions as City may assign • Interim Fire chief will remain an employee of the County during service as Interim Fire Chief
• Either party can terminate upon 10 days written notice • Term: a period of 30 days. At the end of the 30 days, the service may be continued thereafter every 30 days at the request of the City Council of California City and subject to the terms of the agreement
• Cost—no cost to the City
Police Department
Similar to the discussion held with the California City Fire Department, a similar type of meeting was coordinated with the men and women of the California City Police Department on the evening of August 14, 2025. After discussion, the same themes emerged from the California City Police Department.

By way of consensus, they also agreed with the themes put forward by the California City Fire Department and felt that they were better served with a Police Chief that could focus their sole efforts on Police Department efforts.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council adopt the resolution authorizing the City Manager and Mayor to execute a cooperative agreement between California City and the County of Kern for the provision of an Interim Fire Chief and receive direction from the City Council regarding this item.
