COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
March 24, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sean Grayson, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: City Manager’s Report
March 10, 2026 City Council Meeting AB1234, Questions and Comments Follow-Up:

At the March 10, 2026, City Council meeting, there were questions and direction provided by the City Council. Below, please find the answers and responses to be shared with the City Council and the community
The following is an update on information, questions, or requests that came from agendized items:
• Direction was provided to use streets funds if possible, for the purchase of the crack sealer trailer that was approved for purchase at the meeting o There are not appropriated but unencumbered funds in either of the streets accounts for the purchase of the crack sealer trailer. The crack sealer trailer will be purchased using EIR funds and staff will request a transfer from the streets fund to the fund holding the EIR funds as part of the fiscal year 2026/27 budget development process.
• Direction was provided during the Joint SDI City Council item to bring additional information back to the City Council
o Team members from the City Attorney's Office and the City Manager have compiled a list of questions and items to address from the meeting. The responses and information will be provided as the information is available beginning with an item on the March 24, 2026, City Council agenda.
• Missing sign at Kenniston Street and California City Boulevard o The sign is the City's responsibility, not Caltrans as it may have been suggested.

The City is ordering signs soon and will include this one in the order. The sign will be installed along with other signs after they are received. • Credit card reader at the golf course.
o The golf course does not process credit cards currently. We will be working to address this either with our staff moving into next fiscal year or as part of the lease transition to a management company if directed by the City Council.

DR - CITY MANAGER
4898-7406-7085 v1
• Water meter replacement request.
o Staff has reached out to the commenter that had the request and will work on identifying the cause of the issue.
• City branding and using OHV as a theme to support economic development. o The City Clerk will be coordinating future social media planning with the Mayor (PIO) and integrating existing social media
• Cannabis final notice language in Cannabis Department Report. o The actual title of the letter that was sent last week was, "Notice of Noncompliance of Expired Temporary Occupancy Certificates" matching the next step after a final notice.

The following is an update on information, questions, or requests that came from AB1234 reports:

Councilmember Clark
• Library Re-Grand Opening Ceremony.
o No action from staff.
• Match the landscaping of the library to City Hall.
o We will include this in the planning for the new City Hall sign construction. We have also identified a possible project in partnership with Kern County to provide an ADA path of travel sidewalk from the Library to City Hall. • Clean up at Rite Aid.
o No action from staff.

Councilmember Smith
• Water usage in dollars on an annual basis at parks.
o We have water meters for all the various city facilities. We will find the total amount on an annual basis and report it out on the April 14, 2026, City Manager Department report.
• Annual revenue from park facilities and buildings.
o This number is very low due to the limited use of facilities by paying customers versus much higher use by non-paying customers. We will find the total amount on an annual basis and report it out on the April 14, 2026, City Manager Department report.
• Risk management, deductible to match insurance coverage for rentals. o We will work with our insurance broker on this and to identify the correct process to implement the requirements.

DR - CITY MANAGER
4898-7406-7085 v1
• Code enforcement for future issues like those that were at Rite-Aid before the cleanup. o The City’s municipal code is being reviewed as it relates to this request. The City has a registration program for Abandoned, Accessible and Distressed Real Property but it is applicable only to those in foreclosure not for sale like the former Rite-Aid.

The City can still enforce nuisances but we will look into improving our code to make an easier enforcement and compliance mechanism for properties like this one that need to be maintained.

Vice Mayor Creighton
• North side of fire station, no parking signs still there, did we put them there? o That parcel is owned by the Successor Agency to Redevelopment. The fire department placed the signs on the wooden fence along the border of the fire station property, but the City does not have appeared to have placed the no parking signs along the edges and interior of the lot. It is public property and not posted by the City, so the existing signs are not enforceable.
• Dr. Smith regarding airport and aviation-related uses. o The City Manager has a meeting coming up to discuss how the airport district (Mojave Air and Space Port) might be part of our process to reenvision the use of our airport, and/or contract out the operations of the facility. • Kiln at the Strata Center and the need for a permit from the air pollution district. o Staff followed up on this need. The kiln would likely need additional permitted venting in order to comply with this requirement. Since the City would be the permit holder, it would be a challenge to allow use of the kiln when City staff are not present. This item will need additional work before returning for consideration by the City Council.
• Monument sign at City Hall, where is the $17,000, where are the designs? o There was a donation of $5,000 for the sign and $12,000 for Balsitis Park at the same time. The City Clerk will be reaching out to the winner of the sign competition to reengage in conversation. What the art would be placed on (wood, block wall, etc.) has not been determined. We will work to scale the piece to size, determine how it will be placed, and how the landscape recommendations from Councilmember Clark might be included in the process.

Mayor Hawkins
• Reminder about makeshift monuments.
o Options for the City Council to consider memorial options including mechanisms to remove existing unapproved memorials will be before the City Council on March 24, 2026.
• Report on hangers and leasing at the airport.
o We will find the information and report it out on the April 14, 2026, City Manager Department report.

o No action from staff.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
March 24, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joe Barragan, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: A Resolution to Declare the Listed Vehicles and Mobile Property as Surplus Property and Authorize the Disposition of the Surplus Property in Accordance with the California City Municipal Code
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:

According to Section 3-2.403 of the City of California City (“City”) Municipal Code, the City Council shall determine whether personal property of an estimated value of more than $250.00 is surplus to City needs. Surplus Property is defined as “the condition which exists when real or personal property is no longer needed for City purposes.” All the listed property in Exhibit A of the attached Resolution would be costly for the City to repair or convert to an emission standard acceptable to the Eastern Kern Air Pollution Control Board.

Due to these costs, these items are not usable for the City. Should the City Council agree that all items in Exhibit A are surplus, the City would then auction off all the items through a Public Auction or use other means to achieve the highest cost of recovery for the greatest number of items.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Revenue generated from the sale of any of the vehicles or equipment will be allocated to the department of origin budget with the amounts to be determined on actual sales.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council declare all items in Exhibit A as surplus so these items can be auctioned off or disposed of properly.

The County was allowed to use the Senior Center location past the expiration of the term of the agreement as a “hold over” tenant to continue providing the senior nutrition congregate meals.

The County reports that they served 455 seniors in 2025 with an average of 37 seniors who visited the facility for the program each month.

The County has requested an updated agreement. A draft agreement is attached as is a resolution to approve the agreement and authorize the City Manager to sign the agreement substantially in the form attached to the resolution and approved as to form by the City Attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None with this action. The City continues to be responsible for the cost of utilities.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt the resolution approving the license agreement.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
March 24, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sean Grayson, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: Authorization to Release a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Comprehensive Review and Evaluation of Citywide User Fees (Fee Study) and Cost Allocation Plan
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:

One of the actions identified in the City’s Fiscal Distress Action Plan includes updating all fees to ensure that the City is receiving an appropriate recovery of costs to provide fee-based services.

Most of the City’s fees have not been updated in more than five years. Some of the City’s fees were created without a nexus study or fee study to analyze the City’s cost to provide the services related to the fees and comparative analysis of comparable city fees. The City requires an appropriate study to move forward with updating all fees. This will be accomplished by a fee study for fees charged to customers and a cost allocation plan for the internal cost attributed across departments. The City has awarded a contract for water and wastewater fee analysis which requires a different approach and legal compliance procedure. This fee study and cost allocation plan will not overlap but will be complimentary to the water and wastewater fee development.

With the City Council’s approval, attached Request for Proposals (RFP) for Comprehensive Review and Evaluation of Citywide User Fees (Fee Study) and Cost Allocation Plan will be released. In addition to the City’s routine distribution activities, City staff anticipates posting the RFP on two professional association web pages, the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers (CSMFO) and the California Association of Public Procurement Officials, Inc. (CAPPO).

The RFP contemplates the following timeline:

Issue RFP: March 25, 2026
Response/Due Date: April 27, 2026
RFP Award: May 12, 2026 City Council Meeting
FISCAL IMPACT:

None with this action. The award of the RFP will have a cost that will be allocated at the time of the award being presented to the City Council for approval.

4898-7406-7085 v1

To be considered, respondents must submit their responses via email only to: Sean Grayson, Interim City Manager at [email protected], by 5:00 P.M. on April 27, 2026.

The City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals submitted.

During the evaluation process, the City of California City reserves the right, where it may serve the City’s best interest, to request additional information or clarification from proposers, or to allow corrections of errors or omissions. At the discretion of the City of California City, firms submitting proposals may be requested to make oral presentations as part of the evaluation process.

Recommendations should be based on practices by surrounding cities that may charge for similar services, industry best practices, or the Consultant’s professional opinion.

The Consultant shall recommend appropriate fees and charges based on the firm’s analysis together with the appropriate subsidy percentage for those fees where full cost recovery may be unrealistic ( e. g. community recreation).

The Consultant shall prepare a report that identifies each fee service, its full cost, and recommended and current cost recovery levels. The report should also identify the direct cost and the overhead cost for each service.

The Consultant shall provide a computer-based model for adjusting these fees and charges for the City’s current and future needs and provide the City with an electronic copy of the final comprehensive study, including related schedules and cost documentation in Excel format that can be edited and updated by City staff to accommodate changes in the organization or changes in costs. The Consultant will provide training to enable staff to update fees on an annual or as needed basis.

The Consultant may be asked to prepare and deliver a presentation to the City Council 5 and/or the City Finance Management Subcommittee to facilitate their understanding of the cost plan and its implications for the City.

Provide the City with an electronic copy of the final Cost Allocation Plan, including related schedules and cost documentation in Excel format that can be edited and updated by City staff to accommodate changes in the organization or changes in costs. The requirements of the electronic model shall allow for the following:
1) The addition or removal of direct and overhead costs so that the Plan can be developed from a simple plan to a progressively more inclusive plan, as the City continues to grow; 2) The addition of hypothetical service area information for future service enhancements and the ability to calculate the estimated costs for providing the service under consideration;
3) The ability to calculate a full burdened hourly rate of a position that includes salary, benefits, and applicable overhead including OPEB and debt obligations; 4) The ability to document changes in the City’s authorized personnel, including personnel additions, salary schedule changes, and step changes for current personnel; 6 5) The ability to include an option for an annual inflator based on benefit increases for personnel such as CalPERS, insurance premiums, cafeteria, and other payroll taxes; 6) The ability to include an option for annual inflator based on contracted services rate increases;
6) Provide training to staff in order to facilitate the annual update to fees. 7) The Consultant may be asked to prepare and deliver a presentation to the City Council and/or the City Finance Management Subcommittee to facilitate their understanding of the cost plan and its implications for the City.

The Consultant shall prepare a final fee study report and provide ten (10) bound copies, one unbound copy and a single PDF file of the plan.

B. Working Papers Retention
All working papers and reports must be retained at the consultant’s expense for a minimum of seven (7) years, unless the firm is notified in writing by the City of California City of the need to extend the retention period.

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.

CC 6
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.

On March 10, 2026, the City Council conducted a public hearing, held first reading of Ordinance 26-831, waived reading of ordinance in its entirety, read by title only and scheduled a second reading and adoption of ordinance on March 24, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact with this action.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council conduct second reading of the Ordinance and adopt it.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
March 24, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sean Grayson, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of an Update on SDI Committee Requests and City Responses
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:

On March 10, 2026, the City Council hosted a joint session of the SDI Committee (Committee) and the City Council on one of the City Council agenda items at their regular meeting. There were a number of questions provided and direction from the City Council to work on the requests and bring the information back to the City Council and share it with the Committee. The questions from the meeting are captured below:

From the Staff Report:

1. Provide financial reports up to date.

2. Identify the fund manager.

3. Identify who has signature authority to access the SDI.

4. Provide information on all relevant officials have gotten their surety bonding.

5. Clarify whether there was unauthorized investment activity and explain why there was a poor return on investments.

6. Identify who provides financial oversight over SDI fund investments.

7. Regarding SDI Expenditures:
a. Has there been inappropriate billing of City matters to the SDI fund? b. Explain where the “missing” $1.3million.
c. How can the City repay the outstanding city loan obligations (appears to be referencing the $20M in promissory notes invested into the RDA)? d. Is the SDI related in anyway to the fire station property? (I believe you may have answered this to the County, but we may need documentation of this if it exists/is available).
e. Concerns relating to “audit language”—not clear what is meant as it wasn’t explained in the presentation or in the PowerPoint.
f. They have questions about potential destruction of public records (or failure to produce). If they are destroyed and/or cannot be found, then we should probably state as much.
g. What can be done to move the SDI fund to an independent 3rd party (e.g., a receiver)?
CB 1
4898-7406-7085 v1
From the PowerPoint:

1. Want to see quarterly reporting on the financials with US Bank Investments.

2. Clarify the variances between treasurer’s and finance department’s reported financials.

3. Clarify why the fund did not make any money in the last 4 years.

4. Clarify why the outstanding $20 million loan (to the city) has not been addressed.

5. Clarify where the $1.3 million went

6. Explain the trade activity, why there is no MOU with a 3rd party intermediary, bonds that were sold prior to maturity, and city’s failure to identify a fund manager.

From the Public Discussion:

1. Who can the SDI direct questions to about SDI and its investments?

2. Who is authorized to make investments?

3. Where did the $1.3 million go? Ms. Cordes brought up a 2019 audit finding that Leann Weible apparently told her that addressed/resolved the $1.3 million.

4. What caused the fund to go from $89 million (2020) to $81 million?

5. Who were the decision makers?

6. How to reach a conclusion on the audit?

7. Explanation on why public records requests went unanswered.

8. If approximately $20 million is owed from City to SDI, why can’t the City do a payment plan?

9. Why did the former council disregard everything that was asked about SDI?

10. Why did it take so long for the SDI Committee to get a meeting and item? CM Smith asked for this several times.

11. Where did the $1.3 million go?

12. Why were bond shorted?
The City Council directed the City Manager to return with a staff report at a future meeting to provide a process to ensure compliance with the Municipal code and to address the questions from the meeting.

Actions Taken and Records Produced
Since the March 10, 2026, meeting an additional 202 records of trades made by the City have been sent to the committee and the forensic auditor. Staff and the City Attorney’s Office have made demands for additional records from third parties to be produced for the committee.

It is anticipated that the a number of the questions from the meeting will be addressed or answered in future SDI Update reports. With the two initial request questions: Where did the $1.3 million go? Why were bond shorted? And others planned to be addressed on the April 14, 2026 City Council agenda.

Process Moving Forward
There are several requirements of the City within the municipal code that have deadlines or annual completion dates.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
March 24, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sean Grayson, Interim City Manager
Anu Doravari, City Planner
SUBJECT: Consideration of City-Initiated Zone Text Amendment (ZTA) to Allow “Farmers Markets” as a Land Use Within the C-2 (Community Commercial) Zoning District or Amendment of
the Temporary Uses Article of the Zoning Code to Allow
Expanded Use of Farmers Markets by Temporary Use Permit BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:

On November 17, 2025, the City Council considered a proposal for the City to initiate a Zone Text Amendment (ZTA) to allow “Farmers Market” as a land use within the C-2 (Community Commercial) zoning district. The intent was to allow for the existing farmers market within the community and future potential farmers markets to be able to operate in conformance with the City’s municipal code. The City Council’s direction from the previous meeting was to bring the item back for consideration with information on the cost to the City once the City’s financial situation had been established. The anticipated cost of ZTA is estimated to be $3000, inclusive of legal fees, contract fees for the City Planner, public hearing notices for the Planning Commission and the City Council, and related staff work. This is similar in cost to other community benefit ordinance changes initiated by the City, including the skate park ordinance update.

The proposed ZTA would:
• Define “Farmers Market” as a specific land use within the Zoning Code; • Establish operational standards addressing site layout, hours of operation, signage, waste management, and public safety; and
• Provide flexibility for both temporary and recurring markets while maintaining neighborhood compatibility and regulatory oversight.

In the alternative, the Temporary Uses article of the Zoning Code could be amended to allow for the expanded use of farmers markets via temporary use permit as currently allowed.

Staff would work with the existing farmers market team and other temporary use permit applicants to refine the best approach to address the needs of the applicants and the needs of the City. If directed, staff will coordinate with the City Attorney’s Office to ensure the proposed regulations are consistent with the California Retail Food Code, applicable CEQA requirements and other applicable state and county regulations.

CB 2
If council provides direction to staff to initiate, the following steps will be taken:
• Staff will bring the draft ZTA to the Planning Commission in April 2026 for a public hearing and recommendation.
• Following the Planning Commission’s recommendation, the ZTA will be scheduled for City Council consideration and adoption in early May 2026. • Until the ZTA is adopted, any farmers market operations will remain subject to existing Temporary Use Permit regulations.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact with this action. The cost of implementing a ZTA, if directed, would come funded through the exiting Planning budget for fiscal year 2025/26.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council provide formal direction to prepare a Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) to allow and regulate “Farmers Market” in the manner best suited for applicants and the City.

None.

Kenny Cooper, Finance Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of a Contract with Brown Armstrong Accountancy Corporation for Professional Auditing Services for Fiscal Years 2024-25 Through 2026-27 in an Annual Amount Not-ToExceed $45,980 BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:

Each year, the City undergoes a complete audit of its financial transactions and activities by an outside independent audit firm. The function of the independent audit is to provide an annual review of all City funds and financial transactions in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, as established by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA); Government Auditing Standards established by the Comptroller General of the United States; the Single Audit Act of 1984 and the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996; and the U.S. Office of Management and Budget 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F (Audit Requirements). Following the audit, the independent auditor issues an “opinion letter” and other reports to the City’s management, addressing the fair presentation of financial position of the financial statements, matters involving internal controls over financial reporting, and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grants. Independent auditors perform a review of internal controls of all significant accounting procedures, report their observations concerning any significant deficiencies, and make recommendations to correct the identified weaknesses in a “management letter” issued to the City Council.

Government Code section 12410.6(b) indicates that a local agency shall not employ a public accounting firm to provide audit services to a local agency if the lead audit partner or coordinating audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit, or the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit, has performed audit services for that local agency for six consecutive fiscal years. Bryant L. Jolley, Certified Public Accountants, has completed the last six fiscal year audits for the City of California City.

On February 10, 2026, the City Council authorized the release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for audit services and appointed an Audit Ad Hoc Committee made up of Mayor Hawkins and Mayor Pro Tem Creighton. .

CB 3
4898-7406-7085 v1
The City received four submissions in response to the RFP by the response deadline of March 13, 2026:
• Brown Armstrong Accountancy Corporation
• Vasquez & Company LLP
• LSL
• Badawi & Associates
The Ad Hoc Committee met with staff to review the applications. There was a consensus that Brown Armstrong Accountancy Corporation was the highest scoring applicant using the criteria established in the RFP of Expertise and Experience; Audit Approach; and Cost.

The cost for Brown Armstrong Accountancy Corporation to provide the required and optional audit services is shown in the table below by year:

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of required and optional audit services will be $45,980 annually for the three-year contract period to be paid for from Fund #10-4141-310, Finance: Professional Services RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council approve a contract with Brown Armstrong Accountancy Corporation for Professional Auditing Services for fiscal years 2024-25 through 2026-27 and authorize the City Manager to execute a contract.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
March 24, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joe Barragan, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Options to Address the Placement of Makeshift Memorials and Opportunities for Alternate Honoring of Community Members BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:

On September 17, 2025, the City Manager reached out to the Acting Director of Public Safety and the Public Works Director to ask about “makeshift memorials” in town. There had been multiple complaints about some of the memorials in town. There have been subsequent requests from the Mayor and City Council to bring forward options to respectfully address these memorials.

The City’s Municipal Code does not contain any ordinance or information specifically about memorials. Memorials on City property are not allowed unless an appropriate encroachment permit is obtained if in the right-of-way or a planning and building permit is obtained for city owned parcels. No such permits have been requested or issued. The regulation of memorials on private property would be determined on a case-by-case basis based upon the zoning of the parcel, the size and materials of the memorial, and how or if the specifics of the memorial are regulated by the municipal code or relevant building code. No such permits have been requested or issued.

Many, if not all, of the existing monuments are non-conforming to existing codes and would be subject to removal action. As requested, staff provides the following four options for the City Council to consider as a way to honor the intent of the memorials while also regulating them in the interest of the entire community. City Staff discussed this topic and came up with ideas for regulating memorials to reduce complaints from the public.

Options for an Alternate Method of Honoring Community Members The following three options are examples of ways the City could provide an alternate method to honor the intent of the memorials in conjunction with their removal.

1. The City Council could request the Parks and Recreation Commission to take public input and make a recommendation to the City Council as to an area within a City park where temporary memorials could be permitted or where a purpose-made memorial could be personalized.

NB 2

2. The City Council could direct that a memorial bench program be developed for the City.

The benches would all be the same so that they look uniform throughout the community, but the benches would be engraved to be unique to the individual for whom they are dedicated. Community members would pay for the bench and for it to be installed. This would allow the bench to be in the City easement or right-of-way with a permit and would likely be closer to the location intended to be memorialized.

3. The City Council, instead of allowing memorials in town, could build a monument like the California City Kiosk, which would be for memorials. Friends and Family would be able to make a small donation, a plaque would be made, and staff would place it on the monument. The monument could be built with volunteers and donations.

Options Should the City Council Direct the Regulation and Permitting of Existing Memorials

1. The City Council could request that the Planning Commission make a finding that would categorize memorials as: “Signs” as defined in the City Municipal Code (Code).

Sec. 9-4.205. - Sign. "Sign" means a name, figure, character, outline, spectacle, display, delineation, announcement, advertising, billboard, signboard, device, appliance, or other thing of similar nature to attract attention outdoors, including parts comprising the same, and the background and support or anchorage.

Most memorials would be defined as “Monument Signs”
Sec. 9-4.202. – Monument Sign. "Monument Sign" means a sign having the ground as the primary support or a sign having a ground foundation running the length of the sign.

If the City decides to accept memorials as signs, then Staff would proceed in the following way:
a. All memorials would fall under Title 9, Chapter 4 – Signs. b. Memorials would be allowed on private property with a Building Permit. A lease agreement with the property owner would be required.
c. If a memorial was attached to a fence or wall, a special permit would be required by the Planning Director.
d. Temporary memorials could be allowed with a Building permit and approval from the Planning Director. The duration of the memorial would need to be clear. e. If the Planning Director denies an application for a memorial, the applicant could appeal to the Planning Commission.

2. The City Council could direct staff to amend the municipal code to specifically regulate memorials. This option could take any form that was safe and legal to develop.

The options provided are not exhaustive and staff is interested in input from the community and direction from the City Council for next steps.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact with this staff report and the request for direction from the City Council. Any action undertaken would have a specific cost that would be presented when approved.

NB 2
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council have a discussion, take public comments, and provide directions to the City Manager on how to proceed in relation to monuments.

ATTACHMENTS:

None.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
March 24, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joe Barragan, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving the BHT Task Order for Phase I of the Rancho Tract Water Replacement Project
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:

The Upper Rancho Water Replacement Project is supported by $1,000,000 in grant funding awarded to the City through the Fiscal Year 2024 Community Project Funding. It is administered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The project will replace approximately 6,558 linear feet of aging steel water mains in the Upper Rancho neighborhood.

The project includes installing new 8-inch waterlines, 10 valve gates with boxes and hangers, 10 fire hydrants with associated laterals and fittings, six short service laterals, and replacing one Rancho booster pump. These improvements are designed to enhance system reliability, improve water pressure, reduce water loss, and strengthen fire protection capabilities.

The $1,000,000 grant fund is solely for construction, with no funds allocated toward contractual services (engineering design and construction management), Project Management and Controls, Personnel, Fringe Benefits, Travel, Equipment, Supplies, Direct Costs (contingency), or Indirect Costs. The project will be implemented in three phases: (1) completion of 100% design plans and environmental documentation; (2) construction and installation of the new water infrastructure; and (3) project management, compliance reporting, and grant closeout.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joe Barragan, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of California City, Authorizing the Purchase of a New Front Loader from Clairemont Equipment for $255,336.96
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:

The Public Works Department has received three quotes to purchase a front loader for the Cleanup Crew Department. This purchase will be completed with Illegal Dumping Funds. A bid process was used by staff to obtain at least three quotes from qualified bidders following the regulations in the City Municipal Code Section 3-3.109.(b)(2)(iii).

When the City submitted the documents to the County for the use of the Illegal Dumping Funds, the City specifically stated that the funds would be used to purchase equipment to eradicate illegal dumping in California City. The County approved the use of these funds for that purpose. In the approved Fiscal Year Budget for 2025-26, in GL# 27-4413-740, there is $250,000 for the purchase of a front loader. The remaining But the fund has enough balance to cover the purchase The Clean-up Crew needs a front loader to remove the trash and debris that is illegally dumped in town. The Clean-up crew was borrowing the Street Department’s Front Loader, but that piece of equipment no longer works and needs a new engine. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the purchase through Clairemont Equipment since their quote was the least expensive.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This purchase is Grant-funded from Illegal Dumping Funds GL# 27-4413-740. Purchase of Equipment with a FY25-26 Budget of $250,000. The remainder of $5,336.96 will be paid from the same fund which has a balance over $600,000 as of February 28, 2026.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the resolution authorizing the purchase of a new front loader from Clairemont Equipment for $255,336.96.

KOMTRAX – Remote Monitoring System
KOMTRAX is Komatsu’s state of the art wireless monitoring system. You can monitor essential information, updated, and transmitted on a regular basis, about your Komatsu machines directly on your computer, smartphone or tablet. Komtrax is standard equipment on most new Komatsu machines. Free monitoring services are offered to the original owner and are transferable under most circumstances if necessary. This program allows you to locate equipment on large jobsites or around your territory, monitor machine movement, determine which operators are more efficient in which situations, track fuel consumption, identify operator use and habits, and chart daily hours of operation. With operational reports you can see how many hours your machine spent in various modes of operation such as digging, traveling, hydraulic relief, power mode, economy mode, lifting mode, and more.

KOMTRAX Plus from Komatsu is an advanced remote monitoring system for mining equipment. KOMTRAX Plus has the unique ability to retain a history of normal system operating parameters. Because every machine establishes its own norms, deviations from these norms can alert you to the need to be proactive thus avoiding expensive down time and after failure repairs. Another KOMTRAX Plus feature is Pay Load Meter (PLM). PLM is standard on mining and quarry sized haul trucks.

PLM provides carry weight, haul cycles and haul cycle details. PLM data is designed to help increase production. KOMTRAX Plus and PLM's comprehensive data sets are all designed to help you prolong machine life, improve efficiencies, and increase production.

New Tier 4 Final engine
The Komatsu SAA6D107E-3 engine is EPA Tier 4 Final
emissions certified, promotes reduced fuel consumption
and provides exceptional performance. Based on
Komatsu proprietary technologies developed over many
years, this diesel engine reduces nitrogen oxides by more than 80% compared to Tier 4 Interim levels.

Performance features
Advanced electronic control system
Manage your engine parameters more effectively with
an improved electronic control system. Fine-tune your
airflow rate, EGR gas flow rate, fuel injection
parameters and aftertreatment function for an efficient and optimized performance. Get enhanced diagnostics
through the monitor panel and track your maintenance
information via Komtrax.

Variable geometry turbocharger
(VGT) system
Designed to improve engine performance and
efficiency, the VGT features proven hydraulic
technology for precise, responsive control in a wide
range of conditions. The VGT also provides precise
exhaust temperature control for efficient KDPF
regeneration. The Tier 4 Final version has a smaller
impeller to promote improved performance.

Heavy-duty cooled exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) system
Reduce nitrogen oxide emissions and enhance fuel
efficiency with the heavy-duty cooled exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) system. This system recirculates a
portion of exhaust gas into the air intake and lowers
combustion temperatures
to help reduce thermal
stress and protect the
engine. Combining this
system with SGR technology
allows for lower EGR gas
flow while still meeting Tier
4 Final emission standards.

New engine technologies
Heavy-duty after treatment system
This new system combines a Komatsu Diesel
Particulate Filter (KDPF) and Selective Catalytic
Reduction (SCR). The SCR NOx reduction system
injects the precise amount of Diesel Exhaust Fluid
(DEF) to break down nitrogen oxide into non-toxic
water vapor (H2O) and nitrogen gas (N2).
