COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
March 10, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sean Grayson, Interim City Manager
Kenny Cooper, Finance Manager
SUBJECT: A Public Hearing to 1) Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of California City Adopting the First Amendment to the Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2025/26; 2) Adopt a
Resolution of the City Council of the City of California City Adopting and Amended Citywide Master Fee Schedule; and 3) Authorize the Filling of the Existing Budgeted and Funded DialA-Ride Dispatcher/Driver Position BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:
On February 10, 2026, the City Council approved $1,237,049 in reductions to the fiscal year 2025/26 budget including department level reductions, contract reductions, staffing reductions, and a limited amount of increased revenues ($41,500). Staff has implemented the department level reductions and discontinued the related contracts. Layoff notices have been issued to the impacted employees with a last day of City employment of March 23, 2026.
A portion of the approved increase in revenues comes from an increase in fees for some city services. Staff has created an interim update to the Citywide Master Fee Schedule Fee schedule which will represent all fees until amended after the completion of rate study. The interim update is focused on frequently used services in which fees are significantly lower than the City’s cost in providing them and in adding fees for frequently used services for which there is no current fee.
Fee Schedule Resolution
The included Resolution 26-3218 would adopt the attached draft amended Citywide Master Fee Schedule to take effect in 60 days on April 11, 2026.
Expenditures
On February 24, 2026, the City Council approved an Employee Early Retirement Incentive Program including lump sum payments to qualifying employees that will voluntarily separate from City employment. Two employees have already executed an agreement and two others have expressed interest. The maximum number of program participants is six (6) for a budget adjust amount of $150,000.
21 PH 2
In addition to the directed reductions and the impact of the Employee Early Retirement Incentive Program, there are other adjustments to the budget that are needed including adjustments for:
• The Cannabis Program Manager which was approved after adoption of the budget. • The Deputy City Manager / City Clerk which was approved after adoption of the budget. • Recreation and pool budgets that we inadvertently not funded in the final budget as adopted.
This includes funds to open the pool in the current fiscal year (May 2026).
The attached budget amendment resolution includes all accounts that have been changed as part of the approved reductions or increased as authorized for one of the previously approved expenditures above. The total decrease in general budget expenditures are $1,373,775.43. The by department detail of reductions is shown below:

Additional adjustments to department and program budgets will be required to reconcile this fiscal year’s budget and will be included in the budget workshop process in May.
Revenue
Revenue exceeds or will exceed budgeted revenues in multiple categories. The most significant being in the City’s new Transaction and Use Tax Measure N. In addition to recognizing additional revenue the budget amendment also separates the City’s sales tax revenue account into two accounts, one for the Bradley-Burns 1% sales tax, and a separate account for Measure N.
The attached budget amendment resolution includes all revenues that have been changed. The total increase in all funds revenue are $1,537,800.00. The by source detail of revenue is shown below:
Table 3 Revenue Increases by Source
Although the revenue change will be reflected in the amended budget, there are no appropriations of these additional revenues in this action.
Budget Resolution
The included Resolution 26-3217 would adopt a budget amendment for the fiscal year 2025/26 budget reflecting a total reduction of $1,373,775.43 in expenditures and a total increase of $1,537,800.00 in revenues in the amended adopted budget.

qualified to both drive and dispatch as opposed to the dispatcher only position that was previously filled. The Heavy Equipment Operator position was noticed for layoff effective March 23, 2026.
The employee in that position holds a commercial driver’s license and can acquire the required endorsements to fill the driver position with Dial-A-Ride. In this action staff requests authority to fill the budgeted and funded position with the employee in the Heavy Equipment Operator position as a transfer in lieu of layoff. The Heavy Equipment Position would still be removed from the budget.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact of this action is an overall reduction of the authorized general fund expenditures in the fiscal year 2025/26 budget of $1,373,775.43 and increase in revenues of $1,537,800.00.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution 26-3218 approving the amended Citywide Master Fee Schedule; adopt Resolution 26-3217 adopting the first amendment to the annual budget for fiscal year 2025/26; and authorize the filling of the Dial-A-Ride driver position ATTACHMENTS:

For Multiple Unit Buildings (Duplexes, Apartments, etc.) the charge is $40.00 plus EDU in the building (Duplexes - $40.00 + 1 Unit @ $10.00 = $50.00 for sewer per month). A (4) Unit Residential Building will be charged a total of $70 per Month for sewer charges. Your monthly water bill is the sum of all applicable water and sewer charges.
For commercial accounts, your bill is a combination of consumption charges (based on the amount of water used) the more water a customer uses the higher their monthly wastewater bill will be. Your monthly water bill is the sum of all applicable water and sewer charges. * EDU = Equivalent Dwelling Unit * GPD = Gallons per Day * HCF = Hundred Cubic Foot Monthly Charges for Sewer Wastewater

SUBJECT: A Public Hearing for Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance No. 26-831: An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of California City, California, Adding Chapter 9 to Title 7 of the City’s Municipal Code Relating to the Skate Park in the City
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:
On October 14, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance 24-820 that added a new Chapter 6 (Skateparks) of Title 7 of the California City Municipal Code regulating skate park activities. The City Council desires to regulate use of the Skatepark in light of the public’s increased demand for outdoor recreational spaces in the City and the City’s desire to limit its liability associated with the public’s use of the Skatepark.
Assembly Bill 1146 (Jones 2015) extended the provisions of existing qualified immunity law to skateboarding (Government Code section 831.7) by defining skateboarding as a “hazardous recreational activity”. The City is not generally liable for injuries occurring during participation in such hazardous activities unless the City is negligent in some way, for example, in maintaining the Skatepark.
In order to better address the needs of the City the proposed Ordinance 26-831 repeals the previously established Chapter 6 of Title 7 and creates Chapter 9 of Title 7 regulating skatepark activities in conformance with the government code protections.
The new Chapter 9 of Title 7 of the California City Municipal Code includes the following areas:
7-9.010 - Purpose.
The purpose of this chapter is to provide regulations governing the conduct of the City’s public skate park facility users and to insulate the City from liability associated with potential injury arising from skate park users’ participation in an inherently hazardous recreational activity.
7-9.020 - Definitions.
Definitions relevant to the chapter are included.
59 PH 3
7-9.030 - Prohibited Conduct.
A listing of the activities that shall be unlawful for any person to engage in the following at a public skate park facility are included.
7-9.040 - Signage and Posting Requirements.
Information on the placement of signs is included
7-9.050 - Other Rules and Regulations.
Information on other rules and regulations is included. 7-9.060 - Violations and Penalties.
Information on violations and penalties is included.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact with this action.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing, hold first reading of Ordinance 26-831, waive reading of ordinance in its entirety, read by title only and schedule a second reading and adoption of ordinance on March 24, 2026.

The Super Shot’s built-in safety features keep crew out of harm’s way without getting in the way of productivity. Interlock integrated controls will not allow an operator to engage systems prior to being at proper temperatures. A sensor on the material loading door automatically stops the agitator to prevent hot sealant splashes when the door is open.
Located at an ergonomic height to avoid strain, the loading door has a lightweight lid designed to block hot sealant splashes as material is added. Rear-mounted controls reduce crew exposure to traffic, while the overhead Flex Boom relieves wand weight for reduced operator fatigue. Additionally, with the only true on-demand pumping system on the market, the hose and wand only have hot material pressures while pulling the wand trigger, releasing pressure as soon as the trigger is released.
The Super Shot line is engineered to conserve resources and eliminate unnecessary labor so you can stay out longer and get more done each day. The Tier IV diesel engine provides efficient power all day while meeting environmental regulations. Our innovative on-demand pump, the only true on-demand pumping system in the industry, only runs when the wand trigger is pressed, reducing pump wear, maintenance and downtime. The pump is mounted inside the tank but remains accessible, eliminating the need for material recirculation or external plumbing. The digital engine controller automatically regulates engine idle speed, only increasing as the machine heats up and more power is needed. This significantly reduces fuel consumption while also reducing wear and tear on the engine.
Streamline your operation with a Super Shot for easier, safer, more efficient crack sealing, and you’ll see why it was voted Contractor’s Choice by “Roads & Bridges” readers for nine years straight. Your Crafco representative can help you design the perfect machine for your needs, and our comprehensive after-sale service will go the extra mile to keep you on the job. With Crafco, you get more than a supplier; you get a partner in success.
Your equipment should make your job easier, not harder. That’s why Crafco designed the Super Shot line to be simple for anyone to use, without sacrificing performance.
Push-button startup with electronic ignition makes startup easy and fast. With an intuitive interface and automatic digital controls, the Super Shot eliminates guesswork and makes training new recruits a breeze.
Start your day quicker with the Super Shot’s ability to efficiently melt material, thanks to a high-BTU diesel burner and oil-jacketed double-boiler tank. The electric heated hose keeps material flowing to the pavement even in cold weather, while our adjustable overhead Flex Boom maximizes working radius and helps prevent damage to the hose.

As more drivers take to the road, more road construction projects are taking place to maintain and preserve those roads. As a result, construction work zones are increasingly active - day or night.
Road construction operations necessitate proper lighting to ensure work quality is maintained and to protect the safety and wellbeing of the crew and public.
Select the ideal lighting solution for your application.
Equipment Lights
Keep workers and pedestrians safe in your work zone - day or night.
Crafco’s equipment light kits provide optimum
illumination for your work zone – day or night.
Delivering Confidence Through Innovation, Quality and Value Since 1976 119
The Society for Automotive Engineers (SAE) has established a standardized classification system for safety and warning lights. The system is referred to as SAE Class and there are two levels for outdoor use: Class 1 and Class 2. SAE Class is determined using the SI unit of measurement, Candela. Candela (cd) is a quantifiable measurement of brightness and refers to the intensity of a single beam of light in a particular direction. The larger the candela value, the greater the intensity and visibility a light is over extended distances.
The Importance of Safety Lights - Day or Night
The use of safety lights ensures that your work zone is visible to drivers and pedestrians. Doing this significantly reduces the risk of an accident from occurring. When choosing your safety light, high visibility from a distance is an important factor.

Types of Safety Lights Crafco Offers
When designing a lighting plan for a construction work zone, the essential goal is to provide a certain level of illumination for a specific function. Crafco Warning and Safety Lights provide optimum work area illumination while giving oncoming vehicles clear warning of work zones. Our high-quality lights are heavy duty, so they will withstand the demands from everyday use, as well as the weather elements.
SAE Class 2 Lights
Commonly used on utility/service vehicles moving at or below the speed of traffic.
• Candela value close to 4,500
• 2.5X as bright as Class 3 lights
SAE Class 1 Lights
Most often used for emergency response vehicles such as police, fire and ambulance.
• Candela value greater than 8,100
• 4X more intense than Class 2 lights
• 10X more intense than Class 3 lights
• Meets CA Title 13
Crafco offers a variety of light types to choose from for your equipment.

INNOVATION
IN PRESERVATION
High Quality Heated Hose System:
Cimline’s heated hose is designed and manufactured in house right here in the USA and is built for demanding high use applications in the most challenging environments The higher voltage generator powering the M1, M2, and M4 heated hose, which is now standard, reaches full temperature in just 30 minutes.
Redesigned Trailer and Tank:
A temperature probe mounted inside the pump is now standard, as is a smaller cabinet to house the pump. Both of which results in better temperature control and performance. The addition of a front recirculation port that can be used in transport mode keeps all the components hot resulting in less down time.
Quiet and Uncomplicated:
Contractors around the world give high praise over the lower loading height, low noise operation, simple automated control systems and overall operator comfort of the Cimline M-Series crack sealers.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
March 10, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joe D. Barragan, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution 26-3216 to Accept the Bid from Cornerstone Environmental Contractors, Incorporated for the Underground Storage Tanks Removal at the Municipal Airport, with a Total Contract Sum of $258,602, (Including a 10% Contingency, Soils Sampling and Project Management Costs), and Authorize the City Manager to Execute any Related Documents
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:
Single-walled underground storage tanks (USTs) used for gasoline and aviation gas often corrode and leak, contaminating soil and groundwater. California's Senate Bill 445 (2014) now requires permanent closure of all non-compliant single-walled UST systems, including piping, by December 31, 2025, granting owners an 11-year window to comply.
Failure to permanently close by the specified deadline may result in enforcement actions, civil penalties ranging from $500 to $5,000 per day per tank, and operational restrictions such as “redtagging,” which prohibits refueling or dispensing activities. The California City Municipal Airport facility is among the final locations still undergoing closure. The Airport houses two single-wall fiberglass underground tanks.
Due to project urgency, the City issued an informal Request for Proposals to qualified contractors on December 1, 2025. Clean Harbor, Franzen-Hill, Cal Valley Equipment, and NWESTCO were contacted but could not respond because of their current workloads.
The submission deadline was set for December 18, 2025; however, no bids were received by the City Clerk for this project.
On December 15, 2025, Kern County Public Health issued California City a Notice of Intent to Red Tag the single-walled tanks, followed by a Notice of Significant Violation on January 5, 2026.
On January 16, 2026, Cornerstone Environmental Contractors Inc. submitted a $187,861 proposal to remove underground tanks at the Municipal Airport.
125
CC 4
4900-9056-0402 v1 2
The project involves obtaining County permits including excavating and exposing the underground storage tank (UST), and removing pavement and concrete. The tanks will be triple-rinsed (or residuals removed according to NFPA/Fire Code standards), and all liquids managed as hazardous waste until properly characterized. Equipment, product piping (such as suction, pressure, vent, fill), electrical conduits, monitoring systems (ATG, sensors, sumps), anchoring systems (deadmen, straps), and utilities will be disconnected and removed or capped in compliance with codes.
Coordination with BSK for soil sampling and Environmental Assessment is required. Should contaminated soil be identified, it will be excavated, separated, stockpiled on plastic with appropriate cover or loaded directly for disposal, then profiled and transported to a designated facility. Proper hazardous and non-hazardous waste manifests will be generated. Site restoration and backfilling will be carried out as necessary. The project will conclude with preparation and submission of a comprehensive UST Closure Report and, if applicable, its submission to the County Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) and the State Water Board GeoTracker.
Responses will be provided to agency comments until formal site closure is achieved.
The City Engineer (BHT Engineering, Inc.) has approved Cornerstone Environmental Contractors as the responsible bidder. The contractor is required to complete the project within twenty (20) working days. Due to the existing notice of violation from the County, the City must act immediately even with only one bid.
In addition to the bid award, City staff also recommend approval of $18,786.00 (10%) for construction contingency; $36,926.00 for BSK Associates Soils sampling and testing, and $15,029.00 for construction management. These amounts are "not to exceed" without further Council approval. Contingency funds cover unforeseen construction needs.
The proposed Resolution would accept the bid by Cornerstone Environmental Contractors Inc, authorize the above-specified contingency and authorize the City Manager to execute a construction agreement with Cornerstone Environmental Contractors Inc. in a form approved by the City Attorney.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total Project costs, including recommended contingency and Project management costs, will be $258,602.00, and funding for the Project will come from forfeited Construction and Demolition Deposited Funds (GL# 10-3951). At the end of the Fiscal Year Ending in 2024, there was $295,500, which has not decreased since 2024. If approved by the City Council, the funds to pay for the project would be transferred to Fund GL# 53-5310-630, as further set forth below.

Observation / Soil Sampling During Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) Removal California City Airport USTs
22636 Airport Way
California City, CA 93505
Dear Mr. Pantoja,
BSK Associates (BSK) is pleased to present this proposal to perform observation and soil sampling during the removal of two underground storage tank (USTs) from the Airport Fueling Station, located at 22636 Airport Way in California City, California (Site). Following soil sampling, BSK would also chemically analyze the samples, analyze the data and compile a report of sampling activities. The following sections describe a brief introduction, our scope of work, schedule, and proposed fee.
INTRODUCTION
The following proposal describes BSK’s proposed scope of services to conduct excavation observation,soil sampling, analysis and reporting of the removal of two (2) 12,000-gallon fiberglass underground storage tanks (USTs), product piping, and two (2) product dispensers. It is BSK’s understanding that the USTs stored aviation gasoline for the airport. Both USTs are approximately 36 feet in length and 8 feet in diameter. It is BSK’s understanding that product piping from the USTs is connected to two (2) product dispensers approximately 20 feet east of the USTs. It is also BSK’s understanding that the USTs, product piping, and dispensers will be removed by a third-party, licensed Hazardous Substances Removal Contractor which will be directly contracted by the City. The Kern County Environmental Health Department will require soil sampling from beneath the former USTs, product piping, and product dispensers and subsequent chemical analysis. The purpose of this soil testing is to evaluate soil for evidence of contamination and, if present. During excavation and removal, soil will be stockpiled for soil profiling and reporting prior to off haul/disposal or reuse on site. Please note that the California City Fire Department will likely also be present on site during removal for safety and observation purposes. 135
California City Airport Underground Storage Tanks Removal BSK Proposal P25001432 22636 Airport Way November 6, 2025
California City, California Page 2
It is BSK’s understanding that in addition to your contractor’s services, the soil sampling activities to be performed by BSK are subject to prevailing wages as determined by California Director of Industrial Relations (DIR) and the prevailing wage rates were used to estimate the fees. This proposal includes our proposed scope of services, estimated fees, and anticipated schedule for completion of the project.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
TASK 1 – PRE-FIELD ACTIVITIES/PERMITTING
Prior to conducting field work, BSK personnel will review the scope of services, obtain appropriate equipment and coordinate field work with the City, BHT Engineering, Inc., the third-party Hazardous Substances Removal Contractor, and the BSK’s analytical laboratory. BSK understands that the Hazardous Substances Removal Contractor will mark the Site and contact Underground Services Alert (USA) prior to any excavation on site. BSK will provide project management for field kick-off operations and facilitation of stockpile soil profiling for disposal services.
It is BSK’s understanding that the City of California City will be contracting a third-party Hazardous Substances Removal Contractor that is responsible for all permitting, the excavation of the USTs, triple rinsing and inerting the USTs, as well as their removal and proper disposal.
TASK 2 – UST REMOVAL OBSERVATION AND SOIL SAMPLING
The following is a summary of the proposed USTs removal observation and soil sampling from beneath the two (2) USTs, product piping, and two (2) product dispensers.
UST Removal
BSK proposes observation of the USTs removal and excavation of impacted soil beneath the USTs. It is BSK’s understanding that the USTs are 12,000-gallons each. Please note, the USTs and soil above and surrounding the USTs will be excavated and stockpiled by the Hazardous Substances Removal Contractor that will be contracted by the City of California City. Following removal of each UST, a minimum of six (6) soil samples will be collected at 2’ and 6’ below the bottom of each UST. These samples will be collected at three locations: one-fourth of the way in from the ends of each tank and beneath the center of each tank. Therefore, a minimum of twelve (12)soil samples would be obtained beneath the two USTs per Kern County Environmental Health Department (KCEHD) requirements. Additional sample locations may be required if deemed necessary by the KCEHD inspector(s) onsite. If additional samples are required, additional time and materials charges will be required.
Product Piping/Dispensers Removal
BSK will perform soil sampling for every 20 linear feet of piping and at each piping connection (i.e. coupling, elbow, tee, etc.) and at each dispenser at depths of 2’ and 6’. Based on BSK’s review of the Site 136
California City Airport Underground Storage Tanks Removal BSK Proposal P25001432 22636 Airport Way November 6, 2025
California City, California Page 3
and Elevations plan provide by you via email on September 29, 2029, six (6) sample locations beneath the product piping and dispensers are anticipated. Again, please note that the KCEHD inspector has the option of requiring additional samples as they deem necessary. Soil samples will be collected at 2’ and 6’ bgs at each sample location for a total of twelve (12) soil samples. If additional samples are required, additional time and materials charges will be required.
During the excavations, soil will be field screened using a Photo Ionization Detector (PID) which measures ionizable compounds in air in parts per million by volume (ppmv). Soil samples will be collected directly from the teeth of the contractor’s backhoe bucket. A backhoe is typically used for deeper excavation soil sample collection for safety purposes. The backhoe operator will collect a relatively small amount of soil near the teeth of the bucket from a selected depth and location under direction of a BSK geologist/engineer. BSK will collect the sample using a pre-cleaned 2-inch diameter by 6-inch-long stainless-steel tube by hand. The tube is removed from the backhoe bucket or hand sampler and sealed with Teflon sheeting and plastic end caps. The samples are then labeled and placed in an iced cooler pending transportation to the analytical laboratory under chain of custody protocols.
BSK understands these excavations will be cordoned off with temporary fencing, barricades and/or high visibility caution tape by the excavation contractor, until analytical results can be obtained for review. If the soil sample results show elevated analyte concentrations remain in the soil, additional excavation sampling and analyses may be required by the KCEHD. If the Hazardous Substances Removal Contractor elects to backfill the excavations for safety or other purposes, the Hazardous Substances Removal Contractor should be aware of the potential need of further excavation and sampling. All samples will be analyzed on a standard 10-15 business day turnaround time (TAT). If a more rapid TAT is desired, please notify BSK and we can modify our proposal accordingly.
Please note, the proposed sampling methodology is subject to change based on input from the KCEHD or the California City Fire Department. If additional sampling and analysis are required, additional time and materials charges will be required.
TASK 3 – STOCKPILE SOIL SAMPLING AND PROFILE FACILITATION BSK anticipates the generation of two (2) stockpiles during excavation. BSK anticipates a stockpile of overburden soil from above the USTs, product piping, and dispensers. This soil should be placed on, and covered by plastic sheeting by the Hazardous Substances Removal Contractor. BSK assumes this stockpile will not exceed 50 cubic yards. A second stockpile consisting of soil excavated from beneath and surrounding the USTs, product piping and product dispensers should be placed on, and covered with plastic sheeting. BSK assumes this stockpile will not exceed 50 cubic yards.
Prior to stockpile sampling and analyses, BSK will coordinate with the Hazardous Substance Removal Contractor regarding the selected disposal facility, background information that may be needed, frequency of sampling, and the expected analytical suite to meet disposal facility acceptance criteria. 137
California City Airport Underground Storage Tanks Removal BSK Proposal P25001432 22636 Airport Way November 6, 2025
California City, California Page 4
Required analytical suites and number of samples, however, can vary between disposal facilities and therefore additional or varying analyses and number of samples may be required at an additional cost to you.
BSK anticipates the need for collection and analyses of one (1) 4-point composite soil sample from each stockpile. Four (4) discrete soil samples will be collected from each stockpile in roughly equal quadrants to make up each 4-point composite soil sample. Approximately 1-3 feet of soil will be excavated by hand using a shovel followed by pushing a precleaned stainless steel tube into the soil. The tubes will be removed from the stockpiles and sealed with Teflon sheeting and plastic end caps. Sample handling will be conducted under chain-of-custody protocol as previously discussed. The laboratory will composite the discrete soil samples for a total of two (2), 4-point composite samples prior to analyses. After receipt of the analytical data, BSK will review the analytical data and based on gate acceptance criteria, will assess if additional soluble analyses may be necessary. A final analytical report and findings will be provided to the hazardous material contactor for stockpile profiling and disposal purposes. If additional soil is stockpiled or additional analysis is required by the facility accepting the stockpiled soil, additional time and materials charges will be required.
TASK 4 – LABORATORY ANALYSES
After collection, the soil samples will be labeled, logged on a chain-of-custody form, and immediately stored in an iced cooler. The samples will be transported under chain-of-custody control to BSK’s office and then transported by courier to a State accredited laboratory to perform the requested analyses. The following are the recommended analyses for the excavation areas and expected stockpiles.
USTs, Product Piping, and Product Dispensers Soil Samples BSK proposes analyzing 24 discrete soil samples for the following analyses:
• TPH-Gasoline by EPA 8260B
• BTEX by EPA Method 8260B
• MTBE, ETBE, DIPE, TAME, TBA, & 1,2-DCA (oxygenates) by EPA Method 8260B • Chlorinated Hydrocarbons by EPA 8260B
• CAM-17 Metals by EPA Methods
The samples will be analyzed on a standard 10-15 business-day TAT.
Soil Stockpile Sampling
BSK proposes analyzing two (2), 4-point composite samples from the UST soil stockpiles for the following:
• TPH-Gasoline by EPA 8260B
• BTEX by EPA Method 8260B
138
California City Airport Underground Storage Tanks Removal BSK Proposal P25001432 22636 Airport Way November 6, 2025
California City, California Page 5
• MTBE, ETBE, DIPE, TAME, TBA, & 1,2-DCA by EPA Method 8260B • Chlorinated Hydrocarbons by EPA 8260B
• CAM-17 Metals with STLC/TCLP Decision by EPA Methods
The soil samples will be analyzed on a standard TAT of 10-15 working days. Expedited TAT can be performed for samples at surcharges ranging from 10 to 100 percent, depending on the requested timeline and analyses.
Please note that if elevated total concentrations of CAM 17 metals and some organic chemicals are detected above 20 times the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) regulatory limit for land disposal then the samples will be analyzed using the TCLP procedure to determine if the waste will be classified as Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste. If elevated total concentrations of CAM 17 metals and some organic chemicals are detected above 10 times the soluble threshold limit concentration (STLC) regulatory limit for land disposal, then a California Waste Extraction Test (WET) will be performed on that sample. TCLP and STLC analysis (if required) requires a minimum of 5 additional working days to perform. The additional cost for the TCLP and WET analyses is listed in the cost estimate but will be performed as necessary. For the purposes of our estimate, we estimate that 6 of the 26 samples will require WET and TCLP analysis. The actual number may vary. Additionally, as the stockpiled soil is intended for off-haul disposal, 100% of the stockpile soil samples will have a TCLP analysis performed for the CAM-17 metals. If additional analysis is required, additional time and materials will be required.
TASK 5 – REPORTING
Upon completion of the field activities and receipt of the analytical results BSK will issue an electronic copy of the Final Report of Findings for client and agency review. The report will include:
• A description of the field activities, observations, and protocols; • Tabulated results of soil samples with copies of certified analytical results; • A graphical representation of sample locations;
• Description and documentation of QA/QC procedures employed for field and laboratory work; and
• BSK's conclusions and recommendations based on the data obtained during sampling activities.
All information gathered during the studies by BSK is considered confidential and will be released only upon written authorization from the client or as required by law. California law requires a person to inform the state if a situation is encountered that can be considered an immediate endangerment to the public’s health or welfare and/or to the environment.

BSK proposes to complete the above scope of services within approximately 6 weeks of receiving authorization and your third-party contractor’s initiation of their work, pending no additional laboratory testing is required (i.e., WET/TCLP), permitting delays, site access delays, or Hazardous Substances Removal Contractor availability. Please note, if WET or TCLP testing is needed, additional laboratory analysis time will be required. Unanticipated regulatory requirements or other circumstances not reasonably foreseeable could affect the actual fee and anticipated schedule. Invoices will be based on services performed. If unforeseen circumstances develop, BSK will notify you and submit a revised estimate at the earliest opportunity.

California City Airport Underground Storage Tanks Removal BSK Proposal P25001432 22636 Airport Way November 6, 2025
California City, California Page 7
ASSUMPTIONS
The following assumptions were made in preparing this proposal:
• The field work for the UST removal observation and sampling is expected to take two (2) consecutive days with use of the third-party Hazardous Substances Removal Contractor, excavation equipment, and Hazardous Substances Removal Contractor. • The Client will provide or arrange right-of-entry and unrestricted access to the Site. • BSK assumes no badging will be required to access the Site. If badging is required, additional time and materials will be required.
• All field work will be conducted between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. • BSK field labor costs assume the field work can be conducted over two (2) consecutive days. A second mobilization or additional days will incur additional costs. • Please note, the proposed sampling methodology is subject to change based on expected input from the Kern County Environmental Health Department and the California City Fire Department.
If additional sampling or analysis is required, additional time and materials will be required. • BSK understands Hazardous Substance Removal Contractor will provide a backhoe/excavator and operator for soil excavation and stockpile operations over the two days. BSK assumes excavated soil in the USTs, product piping, and dispenser areas can be stockpiled by the hazardous substance removal contractor during excavation activities in a separate location, to be located on and covered by plastic sheeting. A front loader is also likely to be needed to move soil, such that stockpile accumulation will not impede excavation.
• Any decontamination rinseate will be dumped onto the stockpile and not contained.
Transportation and disposal of equipment rinsate water and other waste materials are out-ofscope services and are not included in this proposal. • BSK assumes the Hazardous Substance Removal Contractor will be responsible for all permitting and will contact Underground Service Alert (USA) at least 72 hours prior to conducting fieldwork to notify various utilities of the proposed excavation activities. • BSK assumes the USTs will be free of product, properly triple-rinsed and inerted prior to removal.
If product is present, removal of said product will be performed by the Hazardous Substances Removal Contractor.
• Due to a recent State of California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) ruling, the sampling will be prevailing wage work. For BSK to begin work, we will need the DIR Project Number for online payroll reporting.
• City of California City will be the “Generator” of all wastes. BSK Associates, its owners, employees, agents, etc. assume no responsibilities as the “Generator” of the wastes. 141

California City, California Page 8
• Although BSK has budgeted time to facilitate stockpile soil profiling, the Hazardous Substances Removal Contractors have the responsibility of obtaining approval from an appropriate disposal facility.
• BSK assumes the Hazardous Substances Removal Contractor will prepare, submit, and receive permits from the KCEHD and the California City Fire Department. This includes providing a workplan of the proposed field work.
• BSK understands soil transportation and disposal operations will be conducted by the Hazardous Substances Removal Contractor.
• Draft reports, teleconferences, and meetings are not included in the proposed scope of work, except where specifically noted, but can be provided at an added cost if requested. • Depending upon initial analytical results, additional excavation, sampling and/or analyses may be needed to further assess remedial approaches and/or to meet disposal acceptance criteria.
Additional sampling and chemical analyses, if needed, will also incur additional costs. • Acceptance of this proposal will indicate that the Client has reviewed the scope of service and determined that it does not need or want more services than are being proposed at this time. Any exceptions should be noted and may result in a change in fees. • It is recommended that soil off-hauled from the Site be properly disposed at an appropriate disposal facility and not be utilized on sites with sensitive receptors (e.g. next to a surface water body, hospitals, schools, day care facilities, parks or residential developments). • BSK is an environmental consulting firm with professionals such as engineers, geologists, hydrogeologists and others that are licensed by the State of California. BSK does not provide legal counsel services. Please consult legal counsel experienced in California environmental law. BSK can interact with your legal counsel at an additional charge at your request.
LIMITATIONS
Our work will be performed, and findings obtained in substantial conformance with the engineering / geologic practice that exists within the area at the time of our investigation. No warranty is expressed or implied.
The safety of our employees is of paramount concern to BSK. You will be notified if the location of your project represents a potential safety concern to our employees. Unsafe conditions for fieldwork will require a modification of our estimated scope of work and associated fees. We will advise you of the additional costs necessary to mitigate these unanticipated conditions, if applicable.
The fees presented in this proposal are based on prompt payment for services presented in our standard invoicing format. Additional charges will be applied for specialized invoicing if backup documentation is 142
California City Airport Underground Storage Tanks Removal BSK Proposal P25001432 22636 Airport Way November 6, 2025
California City, California Page 9
needed. These special services will be charged on a time and materials basis. Late fees will be charged if payment is not received in accordance with terms contained in the contract.
If there is a need for any change in the scope of services described in this proposal, please contact us immediately. Changes may require revision of the proposed fee, which will be communicated to you upon assessment of the requested changes.
All terms and conditions indicated in this proposal will be considered by both parties to be in effect from the effective date of the executed contract through completion of the project. Separate proposals for future phases of work can be provided as the development process moves forward.
AUTHORIZATION
If our scope of services, fee, and anticipated schedule are acceptable, please sign the attached Agreement for Environmental Consulting Services the terms and conditions of which our proposal is based. BSK will proceed immediately with the above scope of services upon your returning a signed copy of the Agreement.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
March 10, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sean Grayson, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of an Agreement with Textron to Lease Twenty (20) New E-Z-GO Golf Carts for Five (5) Years in Annual Amount of $31,145.44 for Use at the City Owned Tierra Del Sol Golf Course
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:
The City currently leases thirty (30) golf carts from EZ-GO for use at the City Owned Tierra Del Sol Golf Course. The current lease expired March 1, 2026, and the City is on a month-to-month lease for its current carts. The existing vendor, Textron, is the manufacturer of both E-Z-GO golf carts and Cushman golf carts. As the manufacturer they provide a lower lease cost than retailers.
City staff contacted the following vendors that provide leasing of the same model E-Z-GO golf carts as quoted by Textron for quotes:
• Golf Carts by Design (Fresno, CA)
• Saddleback Golf Cars (Laguna Woods, CA)
• JM Precision Golf Carts (Bakersfield, CA)
The first two vendors advised they could not provide a quote that would compete with the manufacturer. The third vendor, JM Precision Golf Carts provided written acknowledgement of their inability to quote new golf carts in a competitive price to the manufacturer but were able to quote for certified used carts. That quote was higher in cost than the Textron quoted price for new carts.
Based on actual usage and in consultation with staff at the golf course, the City would be able to provide its normal level of service with twenty (20) carts instead of the current thirty (30). The price quoted is per cart per month for the five-year contract making the cost for twenty (20) carts $31,145.44 annually.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact of this action would be a maximum of $31,145.44 per year for five (5) years.
The amount for the remaining portion of fiscal year 2025/26 will come from budgeted amount sin fund 40-4566-240 “Equipment Rental”.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
March 10, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joe Barragan, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Approval of a Contract for Transportation Services with Transdev Services, Inc. to Provide Staffing Continuity for Dial-A-Ride Operations BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:
The City of California City (“City”) began providing dial-a-ride (“DAR”) service in July 1979. In recent years, it has been difficult for the City to hire and retain qualified drivers for DAR services.
Currently, the City has two drivers and no dispatchers. One driver is currently not able to drive.
The other driver will be off until April 6, 2026, or possibly a couple of weeks longer.
In order to provide service to citizens while the City’s drivers are out or unable to drive, City staff have searched for a third-party contractor that can come in and provide temporary DAR services.
In particular, staff reached out to National Express LLC, which is the current company that Kern Transit uses, to see if the company would provide a proposal to the City. However, the City was contacted by Ken Pittman, stating that National Express, LLC, would not be able to provide such services. Staff also reached out to Golden Empire Transit District (“GETbus”) to ask for a proposal for temporary DAR services to the City. However, Solana Roberts replied that GETbus would not be able to provide such services. Moreover, staff also reached out to Transdev Services, Inc. (“Transdev”), to inquire about a proposal for temporary DAR services. Transdev provided the City with a proposal to provide two drivers for a one (1) month period at a rate of $600.74 per day per driver, which includes vehicle and liability insurance. Lastly, MG Family Transportation LLC was also contacted to see if they would provide a proposal to the City. However, MG indicated that it might have some availability later in the month and might provide the City with a proposal, but that it would only be for one driver.
Accordingly, in order to ensure the timely continuation of DAR services with two drivers, the proposed Resolution would approve the use of temporary drivers for DAR services and would authorize the Interim City Manager to enter into an agreement with Transdev for the provision of such temporary DAR services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no impact to General Funds as the total cost of $21,700 for the duration of the agreement will paid out of GL# 54-5410-310 Professional Services. 164

The City, pursuant to its powers duly authorized to it as provided in [Citation], seeks to formally engage Transdev to provide the services more fully set forth below (the “Services”).
The Parties desire to establish a “win-win” relationship pursuant to which the City and the citizens of the service area receive safe, reliable, and compliant transit services, and Transdev receives reasonable compensation sufficient to cover operator costs and provide an appropriate margin for corporate overhead and profit.

1.2 Renewal. Upon the expiration of the Initial Term, the parties shall have the option to extend the term of the Agreement for an additional term upon such terms, conditions and pricing as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties.
1.3 Termination for Convenience. Notwithstanding the above, this Agreement may be terminated at any time by written notice from either Party upon seven (7) days’ advance written notice to the other Party.
1.4 Termination for Default.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
March 10, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sean Grayson, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: Approve a Contract for Managed IT Services with Technic Business Solutions and Authorize the City Manager to Execute and Related Documents
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:
On March 11, 2025, the City Council considered an item to review the future of Information Technology (IT) services in the City. As of January of 2026 the City Manager was provided direction to end services with the City’s current vendor and to seek service alternatives. Due to the need for an expedited transition and the inherent security challenges of IT services, the City Manager engaged one firm, Technic Business Solutions, for quotation of services. Technic Business Solutions currently provides printing and copying services to the City.
Technic Business Solutions provided the attached quote for services that would transition all existing IT infrastructure and accounts to their management and provide the same one-day per week onsite services as the current vendor. The contract is for one year and does have an automatic renewal for one year unless termination notice is provided 60 days prior to the end of the one-year contract term. Technic Business Solutions only accepts payment by credit card.
Upon approval of the contract staff will work with Technic Business Solutions who will work with the existing vendor to develop a transition of services plan that does not have any direct user impact. Upon completion of the transition, which may take 30-90 days, the City would be subject to the termination provisions of the contract with the existing vendor. The contract cost is $12,750 per month for a total contract amount of $153,000. The City will continue its Office365 subscription as a pass through purchase from Technic Business Solutions and the City will separately be responsible for the cost of other licensed software.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The contract costs in fiscal year 2025/26 are $62,856 and will be paid for out of the Contracts account under General Government (#10-4155-630) and then reconciled to all departments based on user counts.
178
CC 7
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the contract with Technic Business Solutions and authorize the City Manager to execute any related documents to facilitate the transition from the current vendor.

Executive Summary
Following a detailed review of the City's asset inventory, Technic Business Solutions has developed a fiscally responsible and operationally stable managed IT model focused exclusively on City Hall and Police operations.
The environment currently reflects:
• 29 total listed servers (approx. 24 in scope for City Hall & Police) • 81 total workstations (approx. 75 in scope)
• 32 network devices (approx. 25–28 in scope)
• 26 assets currently past end-of-life
• 24 systems running unsupported operating systems
• 108 expired hardware warranties
• 112 assets approaching end-of-life
These lifecycle conditions significantly increase operational risk, cybersecurity exposure, and emergency replacement probability.
Our pricing reflects the level of proactive oversight required to responsibly manage this infrastructure.
181
Infrastructure Risk & Lifecycle Analysis
● Unsupported operating systems increase vulnerability exposure and insurance risk.
● Expired warranties increase downtime impact and emergency replacement costs.
● Aging VMware and server hardware requires proactive monitoring and capacity planning.
● Police domain and application systems require CJIS-aligned security configuration.
● Legacy hardware (including 2014-era server equipment) presents failure probability.
182

• Microsoft 365 E5 security configuration
• Weekly on-site presence (4 hours/week)

NBCOUNCIL COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
March 10, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Inge Elmes, OHV Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize a Letter of Support to be Generated from the City of California City Regarding the Large-Scale Closure of OHV Routes in the West Mojave WEMO Area
Background/Discussion
On January 23, 2026, a Federal court order has impacted the Western Mojave Plan (WEMO) by threatening to close over 2,200 miles of OHV routes. The order stipulates that BLM is ordered to close all OHV recreational use routes in desert tortoise critical habitat. This order impacts the greater Jawbone region, Rand Mountains, Red Mountain area, Cuddeback Lake and Kramer Hills.
In the Barstow area, North of Harper Valley and Hinkley, North of I-15 to Cronese Lakes, and in the Ord, Newberry and Rodman Mountains. Randsburg being impacted the heaviest as they are an OHV visitor destination and the entire town relies heavily on OHV visitors.
This action puts public land access at risk, with OHV recreation as the immediate target. Although California City’s OHV routes are not impacted, indirectly this could potentially have an adverse outcome to the city’s OHV recreation program which brings up to hundreds of thousands of OHV visitors to California City yearly and is the single largest visitor attraction.
Additionally, this constant influx of visitors is a direct economic stimulus to California City, which local businesses rely on and look forward to every year. The access to other OHV recreation areas is a draw to California City and impacting this access could have negative consequences that potentially could negatively impact our city.
The City of California City has a long-standing partnership with surrounding OHV recreational areas such as Jawbone and Randsburg. Issuing a letter of support from California City is consistent with our mandate and mission to support responsible, designated and maintained OHV routes and trails for the OHV community to enjoy and access.
194
CC 8
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to issuing a Letter of Support.
Recommendation
Staff recommend that a Letter of Support be issued by the City in support of keeping WEMO OHV routes open.
Attachment
Draft Letter of Support
195
March 10, 2026
Subject: WEMO OHV Routes Open – Letter of Support
To Whom It May Concern,
The City of California City would like to state the support for keeping WEMO designated OHV routes and trails open. The City of California City expresses a strong opposition to the recent court-ordered closure of approximately 2,200 miles of designated Off-Highway routes in the Western Mojave region.
The massive closure could have a negative impact, economically, on our business owners and OHV recreation program as hundreds of thousands of OHV visitors access these routes to connect to surrounding OHV recreation areas. Our local community relies on tourism and OHV recreation through the revenue generated by responsible OHV use. This closure could potentially divert these OHV users from visiting our OHV recreation if this massive reduction in access is realized.
Additionally, this potential reduction does not fall in line with our city’s OHV mission in keeping a balanced, multiple use management of public lands by maintaining and supporting responsible, designated OHV routes and trails for the OHV community to enjoy and access.
The city of California City urges to keep these routes open for the public for OHV use and believes that the closure of these routes could potentially destroy the connectivity of our OHV desert experience.
Thank you for your consideration.
