Mr. Samir Royal
City of Ceres
2220 Magnolia St.
Ceres, CA 95307
Subject: Scope of Work to Assist with Year 3 Monitoring and Reporting for the River Bluff Regional Park Lower Terrace Project
Dear Mr. Royal:
In response to your request, Dudek is providing this scope of work and cost estimate for assisting the City of Ceres with Year 3 (out of 5 total monitoring years) restoration mo nitoring and reporting for the River Bluff Regional Park Lower Terrace Project. The River Bluff Regional Park Lower Terrace Project expanded and further developed the Lower Tuolumne River Parkway with improved river access, improved public access trails, improved flood protection, and increased native landscaping. Specifically, the project expanded the lower terrace of the River Bluff Regional Park via removing the existing walnut orchard, constructing a paved trail system, and installing a non-motorized boat launch. A component of the project was to restore the site by replacing the cultivated walnut orchards with native upland and wetland vegetation, and restoring and enhancing wetland vegetation communities to provide habitat and aquatic resources for wildlife. Regulatory permits for the project (United States Fish and Wildlife Service [USFWS] Formal Consultation 08ESMF00-2019-F-0329-1; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit 36 SPK- 2018-00076; and the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board 401 Certification 5B50CR00086), require a 5-year post-construction monitoring and reporting program of the site to ensure restoration success.
The City of Ceres completed construction of the project in 2019 and was unable to complete the first two years (2020 and 2021) of required performance monitoring, due to restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
To initiate compliance with agency requirements which would now begin in Year 3 of the 5-year monitoring program, Dudek proposes to conduct the following tasks based on our knowledge of the monitoring requirements:
Scope of Work
Task 1: Vegetation Monitoring and Photo Documentation
A qualified Dudek biologist will conduct 2022 Vegetation Monitoring field work of the three (3) wetland restoration sites (Figure 1) during the spring (April-May) in accordance with the USFWS Formal Consultation 08ESMF00-2019- F-0329-1.

Task 2: Beetle-specific Monitoring Surveys
A USFWS-approved Dudek biologist will conduct 2022 valley elderberry longhorn beetle (VELB; Desmocerus californicus dimporphus) surveys at the site, in accordance with the USFWS Formal Consultation for the project.
The surveys will include:
x Two (2) site visits between February 14 and June 30
x A search for beetle exit holes in elderberry stems, noting the precise locations and estimated ages of exit holes. The location of shrubs with exit holes will be mapped. Any adult beetles seen will be recorded along with photographs of all beetle observations.

SUBJECT: Fourth Public Hearing Regarding Redistricting
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Hold the fourth public hearing to receive public input on the City Council district boundaries in response to data received in the 2020 Census.
2. W aive reading, read by title only, and introduce for first reading an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Ceres Adopting City Council District Boundaries in Accordance with California Elections Code section 21601 et seq. and Ceres Municipal Code section 2.02.030, subdivision (a).
I. BACKGROUND:
On November 3, 2015 , the majority of qualified voters of the City of Ceres (the “City”) passed Measure D , which established a by -district election process in f our council districts pursuant to California Elections Code section 10010 and California Government Code section 34871. The City is obligated under Elections Code section 21601, subdivision (a), to complete a redistricting process to reapportion its population between the four (4) City Council districts following each federal decennial census.
Each City Council district must be in compliance with the Fair Maps Act (“Act”). Under the Act, the City Council must draw and adopt City Council district boundaries so that each City Council district shall be substantially equal in population as required by the United
CITY COUNCIL

ITEM 7
States Constitution1. City Council districts must be drawn using the following criteria in the listed order of priority2:
1) Geographically contiguous (each City Council district should share a common border with the next City Council district);
2) Minimize divisions of neighborhoods and “communities of interest” (socio- economic geographic areas that should be kept together);
3) Easily identifiable boundaries; and
4) Compact (do not bypass one group of people to get to a more distant group of people).
City Council districts must comply with the United States Constitution, California Constitution, and the federal Voting Rights Act.
3 Further, City Council districts cannot
favor or discriminate against a political party.4
Once the prioritized criteria are met, other traditional districting principles can be considered, such as:
• Respect voters’ choices/continuity in office.
• Use current City Council districts as a basis.
• Future population growth.
II. TIMELINE:
The redistricting deadline is April 17, 2022. 5 During the redistricting process, the City must hold at least four (4) public hearings.6 At least:
• O ne (1) public hearing before publication of the draft maps;
• T wo (2) public hearings after publication of the draft maps; and
• O ne hearing or public workshop on a Saturday or Sunday or after 6:00 p.m. on a weekday.

ITEM 7
III. ANALYSIS:
The City Council conducted three (3) public hearings to receive public input regarding City Council district boundaries on: October 25, 2021; January 10, 2022 and February 5, 2022. The City Council is conducting this fourth public hearing of four (4) planned public hearings to allow the City Council and the public to review and comment on draft maps based on input from the public and the City Council at previous public hearings. The City Council also plans to begin the process of adopting final maps of City Council district boundaries at this public hearing.
The City’s redistricting consultant , National Demographics Corporation (“ NDC”), has prepared draft maps which are posted on the City’s website dedicated to the redistricting process at: https://ci.ceres.ca.us/637/Redistricting- 2021 and available at City Hall.
Proposed maps from the public have also been posted to the website. These draft maps, and possible new or revised maps, will be considered by the City Council at this public hearing. The ordinance will adopt the City Council’ s chosen map of City Council district boundaries (the “Ordinance”). The City Council will conduct an additional public hearing for second reading of the Ordinance to finalize the adoption of City Council district boundaries.
IV. FISCAL IMPACTS:
Funds for the redistricting process have been approved in the Fiscal Year 2021-22 budget.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
A public hearing on the redistricting does not constitute a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21065.)

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 14, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alex Terrazas, Interim City Manager
CONTACT: Leticia Dias, Finance Director
Leticia [email protected], (209) 538-5764
SUBJECT: Allocation of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funding
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Review the American Rescue Plan Act Funding allowances and discuss the proposed expenditures.
I. BACKGROUND:
In March 2021, Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) which established the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund. This fund helps local governments, nationwide, with the COVID-19 pandemic recovery assistance and specific types of infrastructure investment.
Ceres is projected to receive $11.6 million through the Rescue Plan. The City received the first installment payment of $5.8 million in July 2021 and the second installment will follow a year later in July of 2022.
The US Department of Treasury has released its Final Rule with specifics on how the ARPA funds may be utilized. These funds may only be used for the following purposes.
• Replacing Lost Public Sector Revenue-The final rule offers a standard allowance for revenue loss of $10 million. Recipients may use that amount for government services. Government services is defined as services traditionally provided by recipient governments. This expenditure category gives the Council broad latitude to use funds to provide government services with few restrictions.

ITEM 8
• Public Health and Economic Impacts-Recipients can use funds for programs, services or capital expenditures that respond to the public health and negative economic impact of the pandemic. Funds can be used to address COVID-19 mitigation and prevention.
• Provide Premium Pay for eligible workers performing essential work • I nvest in Water, Sewer and Broadband Infrastructure-Funds may be used to make necessary investments to improve access to clean drinking water, to support vital wastewater and stormwater infrastructure and to expand affordable access to broadband internet.
The US Department of Treasury has also outlined some restrictions to the use of ARPA funds. ARPA funds cannot be used for the following:
• To offset a reduction in net tax revenue resulting from a change in state law. • As a contribution to a pension fund for the purpose of reducing and accrued, unfunded liability.
• As payment for debt service and replenishment of rainy day funds.
On January 24, 2022, staff presented a listing of proposed projects /expenditures. Based on Council discussion, Code Enforcement and park development were high on the list of priorities.
Staff added a proposed expenditure of $500,000 to fund two additional Code Enforcement Officers, enhancements to the City ’s illegal dump ing program and needed equipment for officers for the next two y ears. Reclassification of the current Senior Code Enforcement Officer to a Code Enforcement Supervisor will be requested in the next annual budget proposed to be funded by the General Fund. This will result in an increase of $5,000 to the Code Enforceme nt budget. If approved, this proposal will be more fully developed and presented to the City Council as part of the upcoming budget process.
A proposed expenditure of $650,000 to begin the development of Lions Park was also added. It is prop osed that t his project will be completed in phases. P hase I will include adding curb, gutter and sidewalks. A play structure and lan dscaping will be added during Phase II, whi ch will b e requested from t he second installment of the ARPA funds. This is approximately a $2m dollar project.
Other additions to the proposed project list include:
• Recreation Facility Feasibility Study - $50,000
• Grid Prune Program – $250,000
• Recruitment Services - $100,000
Removed from the initial proposed list was the Parking Cover Renovation and Expansion for Police vehicle s project, the Downtown Lighting Ph ase II project, the touchless crosswalks buttons and the COVID -19 help line. Based on necessity, these project s may be requested from the second installment.
There were several projects that included cameras/license plate readers in the initial project list. These projects have been combined into the project titled “Public Safety Cameras.”
ITEM 8
II. FISCAL IMPACTS:
The American Rescue Plan Act provides $11.6 million in funding to help the City recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Funds will be received in two installments and will need to be encumbered by December 31,2024 and spent by December 31, 2026.
III. EXISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:
