SUBJECT:

Resolution No. 2023- 01, Approving the Use of ARPA Funds to Purchase One (1) LPR Speed Trailer and Authorizing Staff to Move Forward with the Purchase
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends the City Council approve the use of ARPA funds to purchase one (1) LPR Speed Trailer to be used by the Traffic Unit.

I. BACKGROUND:

On April 11, 2022, the City Council approved a mid- year budget amendment which included the approval of the use of ARPA funds for various projects at the Police Department. One of those projects is to purchase one (1) LPR Speed Trailer for the Traffic Unit.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The Ceres Police Department (CPD) has never owned a speed trailer with LPR capability.

The department currently owns three basic speed trailers that are used to alert drivers to their current speed. However, this LPR speed trailer will have the capability to captu re license plate information and analyze that information to help identify vehicles that have been stolen or used in the commission of a crime.

During the month of November, Vigilant provided CPD a LPR trailer to use for 30 days.

During this period of time, the LPR trailer gathered data from almost 237,000 vehicles. The CPD was alerted to two stolen vehicles and identified a suspect and suspect vehicle related to a string of commercial burglaries within the city.

In addition to Council’s approval of this project at the April 11, 2022 meeting, a specific resolution authorizing the expenditure is required.

III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

ITEM 6
The cost to purchase one (1) LPR speed trailer has been quoted to CPD by LEHR Automotive for a total of $23, 464.27. Council approved the use of up to $50,000.00 in APRA funds for the purchase of speed trailers per Resolution 2022- 31. In June 2022, $27,310.50 was used to purchase three (3) new basic speed trailers. The remaining balance of ARPA funds allocated to the purchase of speed trailers is $22,686.50. This will leave a balance of $774.77 needed for this purchase. The balance due will be taken out of account number 26210.051800. This is a one-time purchase and will have no residual, on-going costs to the department.

IV. EXISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:

N/A
V. POLICY ALTERNATIVES:

Council could choose to not approve the purchase of the LPR speed trailer, resulting in the Traffic Unit not having the latest technology to use.

VI. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

N/A
VII. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:

N/A
VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

N/A
IX. STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

Upon City Council approval, staff will make the necessary purchase of this LPR speed trailer.

Re: Purchase of LPR Speed Trailer
Attachedis aprice quote from Lehr Automotive for the purchaseof a new radar speed/LPR trailer.

Lehr Automotive is our local vendor for Stalker Radar and Vigilant Solutions. I recommend this product over other similarunits due to our currently familiarity of its functionality andreliability.

The Stalkerradartrailer detailedin this quote is the sametype of other Stalkerradartrailerswe currently own and operate. Thesetrailersusea back-end systemto captureandanalyzedata. Our Traffic Officers and Community ServiceOfficer who routinely deploy thesetrailersaround the city arealreadyfamiliar with the useof thesetrailersand operatingits database. This is the samefor the Vigilant LPR unit that is outfitted on this trailer.

The Vigilant L6Q LPR works in conjunction with our current Vigilant units mounted on our patrol vehicles. The captureddatagetsdumpedinto the LEARN systemwhich we currentlyusefor criminal investigations. The Vigilant system and LEARN databaseis the only LPR system on the market today that captures and gives us access to " commercial data." This is data that is captured from LPR units mounted on commercialvehiclessuchasgarbagetrucks, taxi cabs,city bussesand so on. This commercialcomponentis extremelyvaluablebecauseit addsan incredible amount of datawhich is capturedand dumpedinto the LEARN systemeveryday. This datacanbe extremely useful to our officers when conducting criminal investigations.

In addition, last month Vigilant brought us a loner LPR trailer similar to the one depicted in this quotefor usto usefor a30-daytrial. Wedeployedthetrailerin theNorthboundlanesof Mitchell Roadacrossfrom the new Wal-Mart. During that time period the trailer recordedLPR datafrom nearly237,000vehicles. It alertedourofficersto two stolenvehicleandidentifiedasuspectand suspectvehiclerelatedto a string of commercialburglariesof propanethefts in our city.

Thesearejust a few reasonsI recommendthe purchaseof this particular Stalker/Vigilant LPR trailer. If you need more information let me know and I will be happy to assist further.

ITEM 7
1 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

FOR THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS

This E mployment Agreement (“ Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between the City of Ceres, State of California, a municipal corporation, hereinafter called “EMPLOYER” or “City,” and Samir Royal, hereinafter called "EMPLOYEE”.

WITNESSETH:

W
HEREAS, it is the desire of the EMPLOYER to provide certain benefits, establish certain conditions of employment and to set working conditions of said EMPLOYEE, which conditions will help to:

1. Secure and r etain the services of EMPLOYEE and to provide inducement for EMPLOYEE to remain in employment;

2. Make possible EMPLOYEE’S full productivity by setting forth the terms and conditions of EMPLOYEE’S employment;

3. Set forth the process by which either EMPLOYEE or EMPLOYER may terminate this Agreement and EMPLOYEE’S services.

WHEREAS, EMPLOYEE has agreed to accept employment as the Director of Public Works for the City of Ceres.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the EMPLOYER and EMPLOYEE agree as follows:

SECTION I – EMPLOYMENT
EMPLOYEE is employed to serve as the EMPLOYER’ S Director of Public Works .

EMPLOYEE shall serve as an "at-will employee" at the pleasure of the City Manager, who has the power pursuant to local ordinance to appoint, remove, promote, and demote EMPLOYEE, subject to ratification by the City Council.

EMPLOYEE understands and agrees that the terms of EMPLOYEE’S employment are governed solely by this Agreement. EMPLOYEE further understands and agrees that this Agreement does not confer a property right in EMPLOYEE’S employment or a right of employment for any specified term and that EMPLOYEE is not entitled to due process for any disciplinary action, including termination, under state or federal law or the EMPLOYER’S personnel policies and rules.

EMPLOYEE agrees to devote all of EMPLOYEE’S productive time, ability, and attention to the EMPLOYER’S bu siness to the extent necessary to perform EMPLOYEE’S duties and responsibilities in a manner satisfactory to the City. During the Term of the Agreement, as defined in Section V, EMPLOYEE shall not hold secondary employment or engage in activities which conflict with, or present the appearance or possibility of conflicting with, ITEM 7
2 the EMPLOYER’S legitimate business interests. As such, EMPLOYEE agrees that EMPLOYEE will notify the City Manager or the City Council in writing if EMPLOYEE accepts secondary employment. The EMPLOYER shall determine whether there is the appearance of or an actual conflict, or potential conflict, with the performance of EMPLOYEE’S duties and/or the best interest of the EMPLOYER . EMPLOYEE has the right to volunteer for such nonprofit organizations as EMPLOYEE may see fit; provided that such volunteer services shall not interfere with EMPLOYEE’ S duties or the business interests of EMPLOYER.

SECTION II - DUTIES
EMPLOYEE shall perform those duties as set forth in the job description attached hereto, with respect to his position of Director of Public Works , and such other duties as may be requested from time to time by the City Manager.

Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, EMPLOYEE shall be bound by all the policies, rules, and regulations of City now in force and effect applicable to EMPLOYEE’S position, and by all such other applicable policies, rules, and regulations as may be hereafter implemented and called to EMPLOYEE’S notice and will faithfully observe and abide by the same. No such policy, rule, or regulation shall alter, modify, or revoke EMPLOYEE’S status as an at-will employee or any other provision of this Agreement.

SECTION III – HOURS OF WORK
It is recognized that the EMPLOYEE’S position is an executive management position which often requires more than a conventional forty (40) hour week to provide the desired level of professional service. It is further recognized that to properly fulfill the duties and responsibilities of the position, EMPLOYEE will devote a considerable amount of time outside normal office hours to the business of the City. Therefore, while EMPLOYEE shall spend sufficient hours on site to perform the duties of the position, EMPLOYEE has discretion over the work schedule and work location and will not be required to maintain a strict forty (40) hour-per-week on-site presence at City Hall and may be occasionally absent from City Hall during normal business hours as is reasonable and appropriate.

SECTION IV-
SALARY
The salary for the EMPLOYEE shall be set at Range J89, Step B ($12,475 per month) of the 7/10/22-6/30/23 City of Ceres Class Titles and Salary Ranges Schedule.

EMPLOYER agrees that EMPLOYEE’S compensation for subsequent fiscal years will be reconsidered as part of the budgetary process for those Fiscal Years. Step increases to be considered consistent with City Personnel Rules on an annual basis. ///
///
ITEM 7
3 SECTION V – TERM, TERMINATION AND SEVERANCE PAY
A. Term. The term of this Agreement shall be for three (3) years from the Effective Date set forth in Section VIII (“Term”), unless terminated earlier pursuant to this Section V. The City Manager in his or her sole discretion may extend the Term for one (1) year. No later than three (3) months prior to the expiration of the Term, the City Manager shall provide written notice to EMPLOYEE as to whether the City Manager intends to extend the Term.

This Agreement shall become effective upon its Effective Date; upon the adoption of a resolution of the City Council approving this Agreement.

B. V
oluntary Resignation . EMPLOYEE may resign at any time and agrees to give the City at least thirty (30) calendar days advance written notice of the effective date of EMPLOYEE’S resignation unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing. If EMPLOYEE retires from full-time public service with the City, EMPLOYEE shall provide ninety (90) calendar days advance written notice. EMPLOYEE’S actual retirement date will be mutually established between the Parties. During the notice period, unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Promptly after the effective date of resignation or retirement, the City shall pay to EMPLOYEE all salary and benefit amounts accrued and owing under this Agreement.

C. Employer Termination. E MPLOYER may, with or without cause or prior notice, terminate this Agreement and EMPLOYEE’S employment with the City. EMPLOYEE shall be provided a written notice setting forth the reasons for such termination. City shall tender EMPLOYEE all wages due and owing, as well as accrued and unused vacation for all hours worked as of EMPLOYEE’S last day of employment, in accordance with standard City practice, federal or state law and this Agreement. Severance In the event EMPLOYEE’S employment and this Agreement are terminated by the EMPLOYER during such time that EMPLOYEE is willing and able to perform the duties under this Agreement, EMPLOYER agrees to pay EMPLOYEE a lump sum cash payment (“Severance”) equal to three (3) months’ aggregate salary, increasing by two (2) weeks per each calendar year of Employee’s service in the position of Director of Public Works. The total Severance pay will not exceed six (6) months ’ aggregate salary in total. For the purpose of this SECTION V, the term “aggregate salary” is defined as the EMPLOYEE’S regular gross monthly salary on the date of termination less all mandatory statutory withholdings.

Any S everance payable under this Agreement shall be contingent on EMPLOYEE’S signature on a release of all claims in a format satisfactory to the EMPLOYER and is subject to the restrictions of Government Code section 53260 which provides that the maximum cash payment that an employee may receive shall be an amount equal to the monthly salary of the employee multiplied by the number of months left on the unexpired term of the contract, not to exceed eighteen (18) months. Additionally, any cash settlement related to the termination of this Agreement received by EMPLOYEE from EMPLOYER shall be fully reimbursed to EMPLOYER if EMPLOYEE is convicted of a crime involving an abuse of office or position while employed by EMPLOYER , pursuant to Government ITEM 7
4 Code section 53243.2. Any Severance shall be paid in the same manner as other employees unless otherwise agreed to by EMPLOYER and EMPLOYEE.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event EMPLOYEE ’S employment is terminated “for cause” EMPLOYER shall have no obligation to pay the Severance, nor any portion of it, but shall only be obligated to provide all wages due and owing to EMPLOYEE at the time of termination , including any accrued unused vacation, promptly in accord with standard City practice. For purposes of this Agreement, “cause” shall be defined as termination resulting from EMPLOYEE’S conduct which would constitute the basis for disciplinary action under Rule 13.2 of the City’s Personnel Rule s, or an y revised or successor rule.

In the event EMPLOYEE is terminated by Employer for misconduct which has been publicly disclosed and could stigmatize EMPLOYEE’S reputation or impair EMPLOYEE’S ability to earn a living, EMPLOYEE may, within ten (10) calendar days, make a written request for a “name- clearing” hearing (as described in Lubey v. City and County of San Francisco (1979) 98 Cal.App.3d 340, and its progeny) before the City Council. Any such “name-clearing” hearing will be held solely to provide EMPLOYEE an opportunity to clear EMPLOYEE’S name. The City Council may determine whether the allegations in the notice of termin ation are supported. If the City Council determines that the allegations are not supported, a decision shall be issued to reflect that EMPLOYEE’S termination was without fault. Such a decision, however, will not require that EMPLOYEE be reinstated.

Resolution No. 2023-03, Adopting the 2022 Stanislaus County Multi- Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan U pdate and City of Ceres Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex and Incorporation by Reference into the Health and Safety Element of the City of Ceres General Plan RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached Resolution Adopting the 2022 Multi- Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP) update and the City of Ceres Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) Annex and as an Amendment to the City of Ceres General Plan Health and Safety Element by incorporation by reference.

I. BA CKGROUND:

The Disaster Mitigation Act (DMA) of 2000 (Public Law 106- 390) requires local governments to develop and adopt pre- disaster mitigation plans in order to minimize property damage and the risk to public health and safety that might result from the effects of natural or man- made disasters . A MJ HMP assesses risk and vulnerabilities and identifies and prioritizes mitigation projects. The 2022 MJHMP update makes the City eligible for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Pre-Disaster Mitigation and Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) g rant programs. FEMA requires the MJ HMP to be updated every five years to maintain eligibility for grants.

This single-jurisdiction annex to the 2022 Stanislaus County MJHMP update is a customized plan tailored for the City of Cer es. The related General Plan Amendment adopts the 2022 MJHMP update and the City of Ceres LHMP Annex into the General Plan by reference.

California adopted Assembly Bill (AB) 2140 (Hancock) in 2006, which added provisions specifying what is to be included in a MJ HMP and requiring a linkage between local jurisdiction’s MJHMP and the Safety Element of their General Plan. AB 2140 requires a jurisdiction to adopt the MJHMP into the Safety Element of the General Plan in order to ITEM 8
be eligible for an increased share of disaster relief funding under the California Disaster Assistance Act.

The increasing cost of disaster recovery in the nation and the State of California over the past decades prompted a renewed interest in determining effective and holistic approaches to minimize natural hazards. Hazard mitigation planning plays an important role in building community resilience through the identification of hazards, assessment of vulnerabilities, and the development of mitigation actions.

The goal of the MJ HMP update is to develop practical, attainable, and cost -effective mitigation actions to reduce vulnerability to the identified hazards and reduce human, property, and economic losses from hazard events. Stanislaus C ounty contracted with Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions, Inc. , now WSP USA Environment & Infrastructure Inc., to facilitate and develop the updated MJHMP and associated annexes.

Subsequently, the plan was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the DMA of 2000, so that the City and County would become eligible for FEMA HMA, Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA), and Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant programs.

To begin the MJHMP u pdate process, in December 2020, Stanislaus County issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) (#20-51-AH) seeking a qualified consultant to help prepare an update to the County’s 2017 LHMP and facilitate a multi -jurisdictional planning process with the nine participating municipalities and the Stanislaus County Office of Education, for a total of 10 participating agencies. In February 2021, the County selected Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions, Inc. (now WSP USA Environment & Infrastructure Inc.) as its consultant.

County staff and WSP Environment & Infrastructure Inc. began the MJHMP update process with an evaluation of the exi sting 2017 LHMP, a compilation of background information, the development of an Outreach Strategy, and the establishment of a HMPC comprised of County and City staff, as well as external agency and organization partners. This planning process consisted of participation in the HMPC and the formation of a smaller internal planning team referred to as the City’s Local Planning Committee (LPT). The Fire Chief and Community Development Director were responsible for representing the City in the County’s HMPC. Public participation was an important part of the MJHMP update process.

The public outreach for the MJHMP update included deliberate engagement with planning partners, stakeholders, and community groups with an acute interest and/or experience in hazard mitigation issues as well as opportunities for the general public to participate and inform the MJHMP update.

The planning process began with a kick -off meeting with the HM PC on August 5, 2021.

The meeting covered the scope of work for the MJHMP update and an introduction to the DMA requirements. During the planning process, the HMPC communicated through virtual planning work sessions, email, and monthly virtual meetings, and added information to the County’s MJHMP webpage. WSP Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. distributed draft planning documents via email to the City (Fire Department’s Fire Chief) and then distributed materials to the HMPC. The HMPC met three times during the planning period (August 5, 2021, November 9, 2021, January 13, 2022). The risk assessment focused on potential impacts from dam incidents and drought hazards. M itigation actions addressed prevention, property protection, public education and awareness, natural resource ITEM 8
protection, emergency services, and improved management practices for structural projects. The actions were then prioritized using the STAPLEE criteria (social, technical, administrative, political, legal, economic, and environmental).

II. REA SONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

This MJHMP update identifies resources, information, and strategies for reducing risk from natural hazards. Mitigation strategies in the plan were collaboratively developed to best meet the needs of the City’s planning partners, stakeholders, and their citizens. One of the benefits of hazard mitigation planning and specifically convening a Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) is the ability to pool resources and eliminate redundant activities within a planning area that has uniform risk exposure and vulnerabilities.

This MJHMP update builds on successful mitigation actions developed in adjacent planning areas, such as the 2017 Stanislaus County LHMP, the 2018 California Climate Adaptation Strategy, and the 2017 Central Valley Flood Protection Plan. This plan will also help guide and coordinate mitigation activities throughout the City’s Planning Area, as defined by the Ceres city limits. The 2022 MJHMP update was developed to meet the following objectives:
• Meet or exceed requirements of the DMA of 2000.
• Enable the City to use federal HMA and BRIC grant funding to reduce risk through mitigation.
• Create a risk assessment that focuses on the City’s hazards of concern. • Maintain and implement the MJHMP to identify natural hazards, minimize or eliminate their effects and reduce prospective costs of reparations before any natural hazard takes place consistent with the Health and sustainability principles and Health and Safety goals in the City of Ceres’s General Plan Health and Safety Element.
• Create a single planning document that integrates all planning partner and stakeholder input into a framework that supports partnerships and coordination within the City and the County.
• Meet the planning requirement s of FEMA ’s National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS) if the City chooses to participate in this program in the future.
• Coordinate existing plans and programs so that high-priority initiatives and projects to mitigate possible disaster impacts are funded and implemented.

III. F
ISCAL IMPACTS:

Adoption of the MJHMP does not have any direct financial implications. Indirectly, the adoption of the MJHMP update may have financial implications in order to provide necessary resources to implement programs and remain in compliance with DMA of 2000 (44 CFR § 201.6) requirements and annual plan maintenance and implementation protocols.

The FEMA HMGP grant was awarded to Stanislaus County for $225,000.00, with a required $75,000 local match from the General Fund. Formal adoption of the MJ HMP will allow the State to release the retention amount withheld throughout the grant duration.

Once the plan is adopted locally, the County will become eligible to apply for future HMA, FMA, and BRIC funds through FEMA.

ITEM 8
IV. EXISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:

The purpose of the Stafford Act, as amended by the DMA of 2000, is to “reduce the loss of life and property, human suffering, economic disruption, and disaster assistance c osts resulting from natural disasters.” Section 322 of the Stafford Act specifically addresses mitigation planning and requires state and local governments to prepare LHMPs as a precondition to receiving FEMA HMA and BRIC grant funding. The requirements of Title 44 CFR Section 201.6 includes regulations that must be met before FEMA will approve a LHMP. LHMPs must also be updated every 5 years in order for jurisdictions to remain eligible for FEMA HMA and BRIC funding.

This action is consistent with the following City Council Strategic Plan strategies related to Infrastructure and Livable Communities:

Infrastructure: “As part of the General Plan implementation, create a plan to accommodate all infrastructure needs for the next 50 years, (including sewer, water, parks, streets, traffic signals, storm drains, sidewalks and public facilities).” The MJHMP update includes key objectives related to infrastructure, including the support of efforts to rehabilitate structures that are susceptible to deterioration, and including that all future public and private developments be designed to promote safety.

Infrastructure: “Aggressively pursue the design, and implementation of the Stanislaus Regional Water Authority surface water treatment and delivery facilities.” The MJHMP update incorporated several water conservation objectives into the mitigation strategy, including collaborating with partnering water utilities and developing local and regional plans to be integrated with other local government plans related to water sustainability.

Livable Community: “Pursue programs that ensure the community has adequate police and fire protection.”
The MJHMP update integrated key wildfire preparedness and emergency evacuation planning actions into the mitigation strategy; this involves ongoing coordination with neighboring jurisdictions, as well as the HMPC and public.

This action is consistent with the following General Plan Health and Safety Element guiding principles related to health and sustainability:

Health and Sustainability: Provide well-maintained and accessible parks, street trees and landscaping, and healthy food options; and prioritize clean air, clean water, and resource conservation to help keep the community—both the people and the environment—healthy.

The comprehensive development of the MJHMP update is the City’s main roadmap to building a safer Ceres and promoting resiliency throughout every department in the City.

The City can achieve this through ongoing implementation and maintenance of the mitigation strategy, annual review and evaluation review, and participation in regular MJHMP updates.

ITEM 8
This action is also consistent with the following City of Ceres General Plan Health and Safety Element goals:

Goal 5.A : Promote public health in Ceres through partnerships, data- driven decisions, and a focus on residents with the greatest vulnerability to health risks.

The MJHMP Outreach Strategy laid out a framework for ensuring the hazard mitigation planning process engaged key community -based organizations, and where possible integrated new mitigation actions that focused on addressing the needs of those most vulnerable.

Goal 5.E: Reduce the community’s GHG emissions to mitigate the rate and extent of climate change.

This goal focuses on the importance of adaptability as the key to resiliency and ensuring resistance to external shocks and challenges. Through the development and comprehensive update of the County’s MJ HMP Mitigation Strategy, the HMPC and City’s LPT developed mitigation actions to ensure preparedness and adaptability, specifically for climate-related hazards.

Goal 5.H: Protect lives and property from hazards associated with development in floodplains and manage floodplains for their natural resource values.

The City of Ceres LPT identified and prioritized flood mitigation actions based on risk assessments, goals, and objectives, which were incorporated into the main MJHMP mitigation recommendations. These actions included supporting efforts to identify and reinforcing structures that are susceptible to flood and continuing to enforce relevant building codes.

VI. I NTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

N/A
VII. PUBL IC PARTICIPATION:

Public involvement for hazard mitigation plans according to the DMA of 2000 (Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] § 201.6(b)) requires the planning process to include an opportunity for the public to comment on the plan during the drafting stage and prior to plan approval and opportunity for neighboring communities, local and regional agencies involved in hazard mitigation activities to be involved in the planning process. The County developed an Outreach Strategy for the MJHMP update to provide a meaningful process through which the County and their citizens, public officials, and stakeholder groups could ITEM 8
effectively participate in the MJHMP planning process. It outlines a range of engagement platforms the County used to notify and engage stakeholders and the public. The County notified the project stakeholders and public about the MJHMP update via email, the circulation of press releases, newspaper notices, and social media postings. The County formally engaged Alameda County, Calaveras County, Merced County, Santa Clara County, San Joaquin County, and Tuolumne County, as neighboring jurisdictions during the planning process, and to comment on the Administrative Draft MJHMP.

The County also circulated a public survey for the LHMP update for a two- month period and facilitated two public workshops. The first Public Workshop was on November 4, 2021, and the second Public Workshop was on June 23, 2022. The Public Review Draft MJHMP was available for public comments for 30 days between June 20, 2022 through July 22, 2022. The County compiled public comments on the planning process, hazard profiles, risk assessment, and the Draft LHMP during public review. During this time formal comments on the draft plan circulated during public review were compiled and organized. These comments were submitted by email and through an online form; some public comments were also recorded during the second Public Workshop. T he County and WSP incorporated public input by reviewing the comments and revising the LHMP prior to submittal to Cal OES and FEMA Region IX.

VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Development and adoption of the 2022 Stanislaus County MJHMP and the City of Ceres LHMP Annex update is a planning exercise to prepare the City for foreseeable emergencies and other risks. As the plan indicates, implementation of any of the mitigations identified will be post-adoption actions subject to staff review on a case-by-case basis and City Council action. Accordingly, the plan is not a project subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) given the plan itself is a continuing administrative or maintenance activity, such as general policy and procedur e making, or governmental administrative activity, and will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment in accordance with Section 15378(b).

The plan is also categorically exempt based on the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the current activity may affect the environment, in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3) . It is also exempt from CEQA in accordance with Section 15183 as a project that is consistent with the City’s General Plan, Community Plans, and Zoning Ordinance; and/or categorically exempt from CEQA in accordance with Section 15162 as a feasibility and planning study that informs the City of vulnerabilities to natural hazards and develops potential future actions to mitigation risks.

Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022-2027 Update Page 1

1 C ITY OF CERES

1.1 Purpose
This Annex summarizes the hazard mitigation elements specific to the City of Ceres. This Annex supplements the Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP); therefore, the Annex is not a stand-alone plan but intended to supplement the hazard information provided in the Base Plan document. All other sections of the Stanislaus County MJHMP, or Base Plan, including the sections on the planning process, countywide risk assessment, and procedural requirements related to plan implementation and maintenance apply to the City of Ceres. This Annex provides additional information specific to the City of Ceres, including details on the City’s profile, planning process, risk assessment, and mitigation strategy for the community.

1.2 Community Profile

1.2.1 Mitigation Planning History and 2021-2022 Process This Annex was created during the development of the 2022 Stanislaus County MJHMP update. The City of Ceres did not participate in Stanislaus County’s 2017 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) process.

However, the City of Ceres did participate in a 2010-2011 MJHMP process with the County. This 2010 MJHMP was approved by Stanislaus County on May 24, 2011. The City of Ceres adopted the 2010 MJHMP and the 2011 City of Ceres LHMP Annex on June 27, 2011. However, the City elected not to include or report progress on any of the mitigation actions from the outdated and expired version of the MJHMP or Annex (a requirement only for plan updates following the release of FEMA’s October 1, 2011 Local Mitigation Plan Review Guide). This Annex instead effectively represents a new plan for Ceres based on current development, demographics, and mitigation capabilities that addresses the City’s current hazards and vulnerabilities.

During the current update process, the City of Ceres followed the planning process detailed in Chapter 3 of the Base Plan. This planning process consisted of participation in the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) and the formation of a smaller internal planning team referred to as the City’s Local Planning Committee (LPT). The LPT was organized to support the broader planning process, coordinate with the City departmental staff, and develop customized mitigation actions and projects specific to the City of Ceres. The City’s LPT is also responsible for the update, implementation, and maintenance of the plan. LPT members are listed in Appendix A.

1.2.2 Geography and Climate
The City of Ceres is located in the central San Joaquin Valley, 80 miles south of Sacramento and 95 miles east of San Francisco, in the heart of Stanislaus County. The City is located to the east of the City of Modesto and south of the Tuolumne River. State Route (SR) 99 traverses the center of the City in a southeast to northwest direction and the Modesto Airport is located north of the City across the Tuolumne River. The formation of alluvial fans across the San Joaquin Valley has resulted in flat terrain and geography in the City.

The City receives an average annual precipitation of 12.21 inches and receives most of this precipitation from November through March (WRCC 2022). The City experiences its average monthly highest temperature in July (94.3 °F), and its monthly lowest temperature in January (53.8 °F). Similar to the rest of Stanislaus County, the City of Ceres has a mild Mediterranean climate.

Ceres is in one of the Central Valley's richest and most diverse agricultural areas and is the home of the new $14 million County Agriculture Center. Figure 1-1 below shows the city limits and Sphere of Influence (SOI) boundary for the City of Ceres. The City limits, or the area where the City has authority to make land-use decisions, is the City’s planning area, and consists of approximately 5,120 acres, or 8.0 square miles.

1.2.3 History
The Daniel C. Whitmore family was considered the first family of Ceres and, with two other founders, John Service and Cassius Warner, settled in Ceres in 1867. Mr. Whitmore built the first home in Ceres in 1870. That home still stands, fully restored by the City and the Ceres Historical Society, at 2928 Fifth Street.

The history of the City of Ceres is recounted in Arcadia Publishing Company's Images of America series entitled, "Ceres” by Jeff Benziger. By the early 20th century, an area of approximately a dozen city blocks was developed adjacent to the Southern Pacific Railroad, in what is now known as downtown Ceres.

Over the next four decades until the early 1950s, the City Ceres experienced very limited growth, while in comparison, much of Modesto’s southeastern neighborhoods were being built. However, in the second ITEM 8
2022-2027 Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex A: City of Ceres

Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022-2027 Update Page 3

half of the 20th century, Ceres greatly expanded. From the 1950s to the 1980s, the Ceres city limits stretched up to the Tuolumne River and east to Mitchell Road. This growth occurred almost entirely on the east side of SR 99. Over the next 30 years, the land area of the City roughly doubled with the annexation of the Eastgate Community and large areas of land west of SR 99, including the West Landing Specific Plan area. Unlike the City’s midcentury growth, the expansion of city limits between 1987 and 2016 was concentrated in areas west of SR 99, rather than east of SR 99, with the exception of Eastgate on the City’s east side.

1.2.4 Economy
According to the City of Ceres Economic Development Department, economic development can be defined as "a sustained community effort to improve both the local economy and the quality of life by building the area’s capacity to adapt to economic change." Ceres is committed to improving the local economy and enhancing the quality of life for its citizens and visitors. While economic development can involve job and income growth, it also involves sustainable increases in the productivity of individuals, businesses and resources to increase the overall well-being of residents and maintain or enhance their quality of life. The focus also includes business attraction, business retention and expansion, and workforce development.

In early 2020, the City completed the initial phase of a Comprehensive Retail Recruitment and Development Plan. Through this plan, the City identified new details regarding Ceres’ Primary Retail Trade Area and its socio-economic demographics, along with its retail opportunities through a detailed retail gap analysis. The City also identified development and redevelopment opportunities throughout the vibrant and growing community.

Estimates of select economic characteristics for the City of Ceres are shown in Table 1-1.

1.2.6 Disadvantaged Communities
A total of 38,906 people are potentially exposed to hazards in the City of Ceres. Among this population, those who reside in disadvantaged communities are more socially vulnerable to hazards. There are three census tracts in the northwestern, northeastern and southeastern portions of the City of Ceres that have higher housing burdens (6099002604, 6099002605 and 6099002602). Based on information from the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) CalEnviroScreen tool, approximately 29%, 25% and 24% of the people residing within these census tracts respectively are housing burdened low-income households. Housing-burdened low-income households are households that are both low income and highly burdened by housing costs. California has very high housing costs relative to the rest of the country, which can make it hard for households to afford housing ("CalEnviroScreen 4.0" 2021). Households with lower incomes may spend a larger proportion of their income on housing and may suffer from housing-induced poverty ("CalEnviroScreen 4.0" 2021). These households are also more likely to be adversely affected during a hazard event and less likely to recover.

In other words, in Ceres, there are approximately 4,425 housing units in the census tracts in the northwestern, northeastern, and southeastern portions of the City, and about 2,190 of them are considered low income and 1,080 are considered housing burdened.

The OEHHA CalEnviroScreen tool applies a formula to generate a combined ranking score that considers 21 indicators for each census tract that cover pollution indicators, such as diesel emissions and concentrations of toxic clean-up sites and population indicators, such as poverty and unemployment rates. The census tracts with CalEnviroScreen rankings between 75 and 100 percent (i.e., a combined score in the top 25 percent of all census tracts in the State) are considered to be disadvantaged communities (DACs). The census tracts in the City of Ceres with higher housing burdens have CalEnviroScreen rankings of 88, 80 and 78, meaning the percent of housing burdened is higher than 88%, 80% and 78% of the rest of California, respectively. The City can use this information to conduct targeted outreach and engage community members to consider what other hazards and mitigation strategies or programs should be considered to meet community needs. The City can also engage these communities to proactively prioritize hazard mitigation projects that benefit DACs.

1.2.7 Development Trends
Ceres is a family-friendly City in California’s Central Valley. Its history and identity as a center for agriculture are closely related to the landscape. As the City has changed over time, its population has grown, and the demographics of the City have shifted. According to the General Plan 2035, the vision for the community is to have a continued connection to its agricultural heritage, a balance of housing and retail choices, ample job opportunities, an attractive Downtown, rich cultural and community events, and an abundance of recreational opportunities. In addition, underutilized, vacant, and rural parcels greater than 8,000 square feet were identified as opportunity sites during the General Plan process. Ceres has a relatively compact form that helps relieve development pressure on farmland and creates opportunities for walkable neighborhoods not present in many small towns and even some larger cities in California.

The goals and policies of the General Plan aim to continue this development pattern by promoting infill development and compact, sustainable growth. One of the locations in which to focus infill development and investment is downtown Ceres. While Ceres has numerous centers of activity, the City lacks a clear community focus point. In addition, recent State legislation proposes to locate a new Altamont Corridor Express (ACE train) stop in Ceres, which the City is planning to locate adjacent to downtown, west of SR

99. The location of the ACE train in Ceres will open up new access for Ceres residents to job centers in larger cities in the San Joaquin Valley and the Bay Area. In addition, the location of the stop in downtown Ceres will provide the potential for transit-oriented development to revitalize the area.

Table 1-7 shows the potential buildout of the General Plan in terms of new development, residents, and jobs.

The
General Plan could accommodate approximately 24,000 new residents, 20,800 new jobs, and 6,900 new households (including the City of Ceres, its SOI, adjacent unincorporated areas, and Mancini Park in the City of Modesto) by 2035. It is expected that much of this growth will occur in the West Landing Specific Plan area and the southeast portion of the City, while most of the existing residential neighborhoods will experience less growth and change.

Table 1-7 C
ity of Ceres Potential Planning Area Buildout by 2035

Moreover, the City’s LPT noted that a major area of expected development is south of Service Road between Blaker Road, Highway 99, and the Turlock Irrigation District (TID) lateral. There is a pending master-planned community in this area. At full build-out, the area could increase the Ceres population by 5,000 to 11,000 people, depending on the specific densities developed throughout the area. These densities are in alignment with the existing General Plan designations and are included in the estimates shown in Table 1-7 above.

1.2.8 Future Development
The areas located in the SOI shown in Figure 1-1 are areas each City plans to grow into and potentially slated for future development. Understanding the potential hazard exposure in the area can help to mitigate the impacts of events before development occurs in those areas. During this plan update process parcel analysis was conducted using the SOI and overlaid with available hazard risk layers to determine where future development may be at risk of natural hazard events. The results of the analysis have been integrated into the applicable hazard sections: dam incidents. Table 1-8 is the summary of the SOI total exposure for the City of Ceres.

2 H AZARD IDENTIFICATION AND SUMMARY
The City of Ceres LPT identified the hazards that affect the City and summarized their frequency of occurrence, spatial extent, potential magnitude, and significance specific to their community (see Table 2-1). There are no hazards that are unique to Ceres, although the hazard risk in the City varies and is distinct from the hazard risk in the County’s planning area. The purpose of this section is to profile the City of Ceres’ hazards where different from the County and assess the City’s unique vulnerabilities.

The hazards profiled in the County MJHMP Base Plan discuss the overall impacts to the County’s planning area. This information is summarized in the hazard description, geographic extent, magnitude/severity, previous occurrences, and probability of future occurrences. The information in the City of Ceres’ risk assessment summarizes only those hazards that vary from the County’s planning area.

The hazard profile information is organized in a similar format here as a way to identify priority hazards for mitigation purposes.

Table 2-1 summarizes the hazards profiled in the County’s planning area and risk assessment to provide a way for the LPT to evaluate which hazards are addressed in their General Plan Safety Element and which hazards are relevant and priority hazards for the City. The City’s General Plan Safety Element addressed climate change, seismic and geologic hazards (including earthquake), flood hazards (including dam inundation), and fire hazards as well as hazardous materials and operations. Among the hazards addressed in the City’s General Plan Safety Element, dam inundation, flood hazards, landslide, and wildfire hazards are further addressed in this Annex while earthquake is addressed in the Base Plan.

Climate change considerations are also addressed in the Base Plan.

2.1 Vulnerability Assessment
The intent of this section is to assess Ceres’ vulnerability that is separate from that of the planning area as a whole, which has already been assessed in Section 4 Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment in the Base Plan. This vulnerability assessment analyzes the population, property, and other assets at risk of hazards ranked of medium or high significance. For the other hazard profiles, the City described the specific vulnerabilities in the community by developing problem statements that qualitatively summarize areas of concern associated with the hazards that vary from other parts of the County planning area.

These specific vulnerabilities are referred to as “problem statements” in the risk assessment. The problem statements are based on the risk assessment mapping and modelling and where spatial data and maps are not available, they are based on specific input from the City LPT. With this information mitigation actions were then developed to address these specific vulnerabilities; this process provides the connection between the problem statement and the mitigation action.

The information to support the hazard identification and risk assessment was based on a combination of the previous LHMP for the City and County and jurisdiction-specific information collected during the 2021 update.

A Data Collection Guide and associated worksheets were distributed to each participating municipality or special district to complete during the update process in 2021. Information collected was analyzed and summarized in order to identify and rank all the hazards that could impact anywhere within the County, as well as to rank the hazards and identify the related vulnerabilities unique to each jurisdiction.

Each participating jurisdiction was in support of the main hazard summary identified in the Base Plan (see Table 4-2). However, the hazard summary rankings for each jurisdictional Annex may vary due to specific hazard risks and vulnerabilities unique to that jurisdiction. The information in this Annex helps differentiate the jurisdiction’s risk and vulnerabilities from that of the overall County, where applicable.

Note: The hazard “Significance” reflects the overall ranking for each hazard and is based on a combination of the City of Ceres’ LPT input from the Data Collection Guide, the risk assessment developed during the planning process (see Section 4 of the Base Plan), and the set of problem statements developed by the City LPT. The hazard significance summaries in Table 2-1 above reflect the hazards that could potentially affect City. The discussion of vulnerability for each of the following hazards is located in Section 2.3 Estimating Potential Losses, which includes and an overview on the local issues and areas of concern associated with the hazard, a problem statement for the priority hazard, and a quantitative risk assessment, where spatial data is available. Based on this analysis, the priority hazards for mitigation purposes for the City of Ceres are identified below. • Dam Incidents
• Drought
Cyber Attack, Earthquake, Extreme Heat, Pandemic/Epidemic, and Severe Weather hazards were ranked significant hazards but are not addressed further in this vulnerability assessment as the risk and exposure are similar to the overall County risk and exposure, and the potential for losses are difficult to quantify specific to the City of Ceres. Additionally, hazards assigned a significance rating of Low and which do not differ significantly from the County ranking (e.g., Low vs. High) are not addressed further and are not assessed individually for specific vulnerabilities in this Annex. In the City of Ceres, those hazards include Agriculture Pests and Disease, Aquatic Invasive Species, Flood, Landslide (Mud/Debris Flow, Rockfall), and Wildfire. The exception is that flood, landslide, and wildfire hazards are mapped for public awareness and planning purposes, but because the City has limited vulnerability to these three hazards, specific vulnerabilities were not evaluated.

2.2.1 Property Exposure
The following data on property exposure is derived from the Stanislaus County 2021 Parcel and Assessor data. This data should only be used as a guideline to overall values in the City as the information has some limitations. It is also important to note that in the event of a disaster, it is generally the value of the infrastructure or improvements to the land that is of concern or at risk. Generally, the land itself is not a loss and is not included in the values below. Table 2-2 shows the exposure of properties (e.g., the values at risk) broken down by property type for the City of Ceres.

Natural resources are important to include in benefit-cost analyses for future projects and may be used to leverage additional funding for projects that also contribute to community goals for protecting sensitive natural resources. According to the City’s General Plan Agricultural and Natural Resources element, the City’s Planning Area has a variety of natural and altered habitats supporting a diverse assemblage of plant and animal species. The California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) lists five special-status species that have been known to occur within and around the Planning Area, some of which are listed as Threatened by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and/or the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, including Swainson’s hawk and Steelhead trout. Awareness of natural assets can lead to opportunities for meeting multiple objectives. For instance, protecting wetlands areas protects sensitive habitat as well as attenuates and stores floodwaters.

2.3 Estimating Potential Losses

2.3.1 Dam Incidents
Protection from flood hazards created by dam failures is critical to the safety and well-being of Ceres residents. A dam vulnerability assessment was completed during the 2021 update, following the methodology described in Section 4 of the Base Plan. Dam inundation areas from the Don Pedro, Modesto Reservoir and Turlock Lake that impact the City of Ceres are shown in Figure 2-1.

ITEM 8
2022-2027 Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex A: City of Ceres

Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022-2027 Update Page 15

Table 2-5 summarizes the values at risk within Don Pedro Dam’s inundation area. Don Pedro, Modesto Reservoir and Turlock Lake dams are all rated as high hazard. Don Pedro and Modesto Reservoir dams are also rated as Extremely High by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD). Extremely High rated dams are expected to cause considerable loss of human life or result in an inundation area with a population of 1,000 or more. All areas within City Limits and SOI are vulnerable to dam incidents. The City would experience catastrophic damage if Don Pedro dam were to breach. A total of 61 critical facilities are located within dam inundation areas.

2.3.2 Drought
The City’s Utilities Department and Engineering Division provide water supply production, treatment, and distribution to approximately 48,430 residents through approximately 11,755 residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional service connections (City of Ceres 2020). The water supply distribution consists of 154 miles of water lines, including plans for the expansion of surface water distribution. The water supply distribution system also consists of two at-grade reservoirs with a combined storage capacity of 3.8 million gallons, one booster pump station, and 13 groundwater wells (City of Ceres 2011).

The City’s water supply is sourced solely from groundwater from the Turlock Groundwater Subbasin with plans to diversify the surface water supply in the future (City of Ceres 2020). The City is also part of the West Turlock Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA). Other cities in the West Turlock Subbasin GSA include the cities of Hughson, Modesto, Turlock, and Waterford and various smaller water districts, Stanislaus County, Merced County, and the Turlock Irrigation District (TID).

The C ity is susceptible to drought and related climate change considerations. As the City grows and the demand for water increases, water demands in the City will be impacted by hotter days and a longer irrigation season, which will increase the City’s landscaping and irrigation water needs. The reduced snowpack and shifting spring runoff to earlier in the season will also result in increased algal blooms in the region that can impact the City’s water supply, particularly any future surface water sources. The City of Ceres already encourages the community to do their part to conserve the region’s groundwater water supplies.

ITEM 8
2022-2027 Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex A: City of Ceres

Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022-2027 Update Page 18

The City makes efforts to efficiently utilize its produced water supply through demand management measures, the implementation of conservation measures, and participation in the region’s sustainable management of the groundwater basin (City of Ceres 2020). The City developed a free Water Meter Portal that allows residents to monitor their water usage, receive leak notifications, and view monthly water targets. The City also offers homeowners rebates for installing efficient appliances, such as ultra- low flow toilets, high-efficiency washing machines, energy-efficient dishwashers, and smart irrigation controllers for irrigation systems that contain Water Sense labeled irrigation controllers. The City also distributes free water conservation devices such as toilet tank banks, shower timers, and water-efficient hose nozzles. In addition, the City began the implementation of its residential water survey program in 2015. The program was developed by City staff to allow for an increased water allotment for usage targets and to gauge how efficient residents are with managing their water use. Customers and residents can identify areas of potential improvement, as well as identify potential leaks.

Furthermore, the City implements a Water Conservation Plan and Water Shortage Contingency Plan, which is part of their 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) (City of Ceres 2020). Both plans provide a guide for the City to assess water supply availability and mitigate water supply shortages to maintain public health and safety. As noted in the 2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan, it is estimated that the reliability of the City’s water supply is sufficient to meet long-term and near-term demands based on positive impacts from State requirements for sustainable groundwater management and the addition of a surface water supply source starting in 2025 (City of Ceres 2020). In addition, the City has partnered at the local and state level to diversify the City’s water supply portfolio to significantly increase reliability benefits while reducing the City’s reliance on groundwater. The City has also partnered with the City of Turlock to form the Stanislaus Regional Water Authority (SRWA) to develop a future water supply plan/project from TID – the SRWA Regional Surface Water Supply Project. This project will be completed in 2023, which will supply drinking water to the cities of Ceres and Turlock. The amount of water delivered to the City is projected to be 15 million gallons per day at buildout (the year 2035) (City of Ceres 2020).

In summary, the City has staff and resources to better manage water resources and decrease the demand on the Turlock Groundwater Subbasin. The City also has already taken steps to conserve water and diversify its water supply portfolio. The City may benefit from developing alternative backup supplies through additional surface water storage facilities to mitigate impacts during drought events in the future.

As such, various projects and policy initiatives are proposed to further develop a balanced water portfolio and reduce the City’s reliance on groundwater pumping to allow for aquifer recovery. Future water conservation policies are also updated to comply with new legislation and water use objectives.

2.3.3 Flood
As shown in Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3, only a small portion along the City’s northern boundary and Tuolumne River falls within floodplains. Based on Figure 2-4, the majority of the City’s critical facilities are outside floodplains. Therefore, flood hazard is rated low for the City and included in this analysis for public awareness and planning purposes only.

3 C APABILITY ASSESSMENT
Capabilities are the programs and policies currently in use to reduce hazard impacts or that could be used to implement hazard mitigation activities. This capabilities assessment is divided into five sections: regulatory mitigation capabilities, administrative and technical mitigation capabilities, fiscal mitigation capabilities, mitigation outreach and partnerships, and other mitigation efforts. To develop this capability assessment, the jurisdictional planning representatives reviewed a matrix of common mitigation activities to inventory which of these policies or programs and shared any updates or changes through the Ceres Data Collection Guide. The team then supplemented this inventory by reviewing additional existing policies, regulations, plans, and programs to determine if they contribute to reducing hazard-related losses.

During the plan update process, this inventory was reviewed by the jurisdictional planning representatives and Wood consultant team staff to update information where applicable and note ways in which these capabilities have improved or expanded. Additionally, in summarizing current capabilities and identifying gaps, the jurisdictional planning representatives also considered their ability to expand or improve upon existing policies and programs as potential new mitigation strategies. The City of Ceres’s capabilities are summarized below.

3.1 Regulatory Capability

Education and outreach efforts, as well as emergency response planning, will need to address the needs of low-income residents and the large Spanish-speaking population.

3.5 Other Mitigation Efforts
The City partners with the City of Turlock, TID, and the SRWA by tracking the implementation of future water supply plans and projects, such as the SRWA Regional Surface Water Supply Project. For example, as previously noted, this water supply project will be completed in 2023, which will diversify the drinking water supply to the cities of Ceres and Turlock (City of Ceres 2020). There are no other mitigation efforts currently in place in the City of Ceres.

3.6 Opportunities for Enhancement
Based on the capability assessment, the City of Ceres has existing regulatory, administrative/technical, fiscal mechanisms in place that help to mitigate hazards. In addition to these existing capabilities, there are opportunities for the City to expand or improve on these policies and programs to further protect the community. These are organized below by regulatory, administrative/technical, fiscal, and outreach opportunities.

Regulatory Opportunities
Future opportunities for regulatory enhancement should focus on compliance with Assembly Bill 2140, including amending the City of Ceres General Plan Safety Element to incorporate the 2022-2027 Stanislaus County MJHMP and City of Ceres Annex by reference.

Administrative/Technical Opportunities
Other future enhancements may include providing hazard training for staff or hazard mitigation grant funding in partnership with Stanislaus County and Cal OES. Existing City staff are aware of the benefits of participating in training and webinars offered by Cal OES Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) Team related to HMGP opportunities, HMGP Sub application Development support, and other funding ITEM 8
2022-2027 Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex A: City of Ceres

Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022-2027 Update Page 30

programs, such as Prepare California Jumpstart. Other opportunities may be related to coordinating and educating key stakeholders in the City. Other stakeholders may be interested in aligning efforts related to hazard mitigation and also supporting HMGP Sub applications and other hazard mitigation trainings.

Fiscal Opportunities
The City can update other plans, such as their CIP to incorporate hazard information and include hazard mitigation actions and climate adaptation strategies that relate to infrastructure systems resiliency associated with the water and wastewater systems. Once projects related to hazard mitigation are approved, the recent CIP can be shared with the community on the City’s webpage. Capital investments and improvements related to seismic retrofits, cooling center upgrades, and WWTP upgrades should all be emphasized in the outreach materials as they are related to hazard mitigation. The City should also apply for HMGP grants to fund implementation costs associated with key CIP projects, and related projects in the City’s mitigation strategy. These fiscal capabilities may be supported by City staff or augmented with Consultant staff.

2022-2027 Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex A: City of Ceres

Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022-2027 Update Page 31

Outreach Opportunities
The City can expand their outreach capabilities related to the implementation of the 2022-2027 Stanislaus County MJHMP and the City of Ceres Annex. Specific enhancements may include continued public involvement through social media posts and advertisements focused on projects successes related to the Annex Mitigation Strategy as well as focused outreach to under-represented and special-interest groups in the City. The City can also develop outreach kits for partner organizations by expanding on the information include in the MJHMP Outreach Strategy included in Appendix F. 4 M ITIGATION STRATEGY

4.1 Goals and Objectives
The City of Ceres adopted the hazard mitigation goals and objectives developed by the HMPC and described in Section 5 Mitigation Strategy of the Base Plan. Like the Mitigation Strategy in the Base Plan, this section outlines the City’s roadmap for future hazard mitigation administration and implementation.

The purpose of the strategy is to reduce vulnerabilities from key priority hazards outlined in the risk assessment through regulatory tools and projects.

4.2 Continued Compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) The City of Ceres joined the NFIP on March 7, 1997. In addition to the mitigation actions identified herein the City will continue to comply with the NFIP. Floodplain management is under the purview of the Community Development Department and Building Division. This includes ongoing activities such as enforcing local floodplain development regulations, issuing permits for appropriate development in SFHAs and ensuring that this development is mitigated in accordance with the regulations. This will also include periodic reviews of the floodplain ordinance to ensure that it is clear and up to date and reflects new or revised flood hazard mapping. The City Engineering Department and Public Works Department manage the storm water programs.

4.3 Mitigation Actions
The LPT for the City identified and prioritized the following new mitigation actions based on risk assessments, goals, and objectives. Background information as well as information on how the action will be implemented and administered, such as ideas for implementation, responsible office, partners, potential funding, estimated cost, and timeline also are described. Because the City did not participate in the 2017 LHMP, therefore, the LPT did not have existing mitigation actions to review and did not provide status updates on past hazard mitigation planning efforts.

The mitigation strategy includes only those actions and projects which reflect the actual priorities and capacity of the jurisdiction to implement over the next five years covered by this plan. It should further be noted, that although a jurisdiction may not have specific projects identified for each significant (medium or high) hazard for the five-year coverage of this planning process, each jurisdiction has focused on identifying those projects which are realistic and reasonable for them to implement. Should future projects be identified for significant hazards where the implementing jurisdiction has the capacity to implement, the jurisdiction would add those projects to their Annex. The City also recognizes that other mitigation actions proposed in the County’s mitigation strategy will cover the significant hazards in the City that are not currently linked to a mitigation action.

5 I MPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE
Moving forward, the City will use the mitigation action table in the previous section to track the progress on the implementation of each project. Implementation of the plan overall is discussed in Section 6 in the Base Plan.

5.1 Incorporation into Existing Planning Mechanisms
The information contained within this plan, including results from the Vulnerability Assessment, and the Mitigation Strategy will be used by the City to help inform updates and the development of local plans, programs and policies. The Engineering Department and Public Works Department may utilize the hazard information when implementing the City’s capital projects and the Community Development Department Planning Division may utilize the hazard information when reviewing a site plan or other type of development applications. The City will also incorporate this MJHMP into the Health and Safety Element of their General Plan, as recommended by AB 2140.

As noted in Section 6 of the Base Plan, the City of Ceres LPT representatives will report on efforts to integrate the hazard mitigation plan into local plans, programs and policies and will report on these efforts at the annual LPT plan review meeting.

5.2 Monitoring, Evaluation and Updating the Plan
The City will follow the procedures to monitor, review, and update this plan in accordance with Stanislaus County as outlined in Section 6 of the Base Plan. The city will continue to involve the public in mitigation, as described in Section 6.2.1 of the Base Plan. The Fire Chief and Community Development Director will be responsible for representing the City in the County HMPC, and for coordination with City staff and departments during plan updates. The City realizes it is important to review the plan regularly and update it every five years in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act Requirements as well as other State of California requirements.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2023- 04, Approving a Budget Amendment for an Additional Appropriation of $100,000.00 for the Water Meters and Parts Account Budget

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends City Council approve the additional appropriation of $100,000.00 for the Water Meter and Parts budget.

I. BACKGROUND:

The City of Ceres has sole sourced with Sensus and Badger since 2011 for meters and radios for all City water metering equipment. These meters have a life expectancy of approximately ten (10) years, or the consumption of one million gallons of water depending on the characteristics of the water supply. Many of the meters in the ground have reached their life expectancy and each month, several meters fail and either need to be repaired or replaced. The fail rate is currently 40 – 70 meters per month.

Drastic cost increases, supply chain shortages, and very long lead times had dwindled the water meter stock and budget down significantly. City staff was advised in the beginning of the fiscal year to place orders for the year for all parts that would be needed. Staff was also advised that it may take up to a year to fill these orders. The City has received a substantial amount of water meters to last the fiscal year and placed orders for radios and parts for reading equipment this fiscal year which have not been filled due to insufficient funds.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The City has new developments started, t hese include Tuscany Village (41 homes), Cambridge Estates II (38 homes), Olive Villas (15 homes), and the future Whitmore Ranch First Phase (107 homes). Public Works Water Division furnishes and installs residential ITEM 9
meters throughout the city. Staff ordered enough meters, radios, and parts to install meters for the new homes; however, the new meters needed for the developments have negatively impacted the supply of meters needed for routine repair and maintenance. In order to maintain stock for regular repair and maintenance, staff is requesting a budget amendment of $100,000.00.

III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

Staff requests a budget amendment into account 527.35.034900, Water Meters and Parts, for this appropriation.

IV. EXISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:

Ensure the community has adequate, well -maintained infrastructure (including water, sewer, streets, traffic signals, parks, sidewalks, facilities) that fosters a quality community and supports a strong economy.

V. POLICY ALTERNATIVES:

Should the City Council decide not to approve the appropriation, as meters fail, staff will be required to hand-read meters that currently have a fail rate of 40 – 70 meters per month.

SUBJECT:

Resolution No. 202 3-05, Ratifying the Emergency Sewer Repair Services by Mozingo Construction Inc. as Complete, Authorizing Payment to the Contractor, Authorizing the Filing of the Notice of Completion and Releasing Retention to the Contractor
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution accepting the emergency sewer repair services performed by Mozingo Construction Inc . at the Richland Avenue and Herndon A venue locations as complete, authorizing payment to the contractor, and authorizing the filing of the Notice of Completion and releasing 5% retention to the contractor.

BACKGROUND:

On Richland Ave nue, the 18 -inch sewer main is on Public Works Wastewater Division’s 90- day watch list due to reoccurring backups and sludge build up in the pipe. On October 11, 2022, P ublic Works staff took video footage of the 18- inch sanitary sewer main on Richland Avenue and discovered a collapsed section of pipe. Obstructed flow, blockages, and undermining of roadway infrastructure all occurred. Engineering staff analyzed this impact and found it necessary to replace a segment of the 18-inch sewer main pipe.

Simultaneously the Starbucks commercial facility at Herndon Avenue also reported sewage back up at their facility during business hours. It was determined that the 6-inch sanitary sewer main adjacent to Herndon Avenue was experiencing blockages due to bellies, sags, and reversed flow directions. To prevent further impact of future blockages of current and future business , such as the development of Dutch Brothers, the 6- inch sanitary sewer main was determined to be replaced. A long section of 6-inch sanitary sewer main and manhole rebuilds was determined to correct elevation and flow direction of the sanitary sewer main.

ITEM 10
To protect the public from sanitary sewer overflows (SSO) and a potential roadway sinkhole from soil erosion , City staff acted responsibly by securing a qualif ied contractor to make the necessary repairs.

California public law allows an agency to procure emergency services when a health and s
afety concern arises. The law allows the agency to waive the required public project solicitation process during an emergency. A single qualified contractor can be selected that can do the work. In this case, this emergency was a public health emergency involving two different sewer main failures. Since they occurred simultaneously, it was deemed prudent to ask one contractor to do both repairs. An estimate was determined by staff and four qualified contractors were contacted. Two contractors submitted bids and were readily available and two declined to bid due to unavailable resources . Proposals received were itemized based on time and material. City staff selected Mozingo Construction I nc. because they we re qualified and offered the lowest rates for t ime and material and estimated hours. Mozingo was awarded the emergency sewer repair contract on October 25, 2022 and completed the repairs in accordance with City standards and specifications for both locations by November 18, 2022.

Results of the repairs consisted of:
• T he contractor performed and repaired 340 l inear feet of 6” sewer main to correct improper flow, two manhole inlets, and sagging pipe (“belly”) on Herndon Avenue to City standards.
• The contractor performed and repaired 16 l inear feet of 18” sewer main to replace broken sections of 18” sewer main and pipe bed restoration on Richland Avenue to City standards.

City staff will rehabilitate the Richland Ave sewer main in a near future CIP project to address the obstructed flow and the deteriorating pipe.

II. RE
ASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recognized that emergency repairs were needed to address health and safety concerns, sanitary sewer overflows (SSO), blockages, and ongoing roadway infrastructure deterioration due to undermining. Currently, all mentioned repairs and scope of work is complete.

Staff requested responsive and responsible proposals fr om four qualified contractors .

Mozingo Construction I nc provided the lowest rates for t ime and material and estimated hours. Mozingo was awarded the emergency sewer repair contract on October 25 , 2022 and completed the repairs in accordance with City standards and specifications for both locations by November 18, 2022.

III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

Funds for the emergency sewer repair we re available in the Capital Improvement Project account (56795.220900) for fiscal year 2021-2022. The total cost for this emergency sewer repair work is $72,426.69.

IV. E XISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN :

ITEM 10
This project is in conformance with the first goal of the strategic plan to ensure the community has adequate, well-maintained infrastructure that fosters a quality community.

V. P OLICY ALTERNATIVES :

The alternative to performing the work to this critical section of Sewer Infrastructure would have been to not perform these repairs in a timely manner and risk sewage build-up in manholes, leading to health and environmental hazard.

VI. I NTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

Upon acceptance of this work, the Public Works Wastewater Division will provide ongoing regular maintenance.

VII. P UBLIC PARTICIPATION:

VIII. EN VIRONMENTAL REVIEW :

This project is exempt from the environmental review process.

IX. ST EPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL :

The notice of completion will be filed, and the 5% retention will be released after 35 days , if no claims are filled.
