Rosalinda L. Vierra, Dist. 2
Cerina Otero, Dist. 3

MEETING DATE: June 9, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas D. Dunford, City Manager
CONTACT: Sam Royal, Director of Public Works
[email protected], (209) 538-5717
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 202 5-XXX, Approving an Agreement with West Coast Arborists, Inc. for Tree Maintenance and Removal Services and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Agreement
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends the City Council a ward a service maintenance agreement to West Coast Arborists Inc. for Tree Maintenance and Removal Program, and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.

I. BACKGROUND:

In 2013, at the direction of the City Council, a citywide tree inventory was completed, and the inventory was placed on a five- year pruning cycle to ensure regular and systematic maintenance of the City’s urban forest. The initial tree inventory was conduc ted by West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA), a professional tree management firm. Following the completion of the inventory, the City entered into an annual agreement with WCA for comprehensive tree maintenance services.

As part of this agreement, WCA has provided the City with an internet -based record- keeping system for the tree inventory at no additional cost. This system enables the City to efficiently maintain, retrieve, and update detailed information regarding its tr ee population. An added benefit of this arrangement is that WCA updates the tree inventory each time its field crews perform maintenance on a tree, ensuring that the inventory remains current without requiring additional City staff time.

As of today, the City owns and maintains a total of 9,455 trees, which have a combined appraised value of $24,770,880.

ITEM 6
II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The City issued a Request for Bids (RFB) for the Tree Maintenance and Removal Program on March 17, 2025. Bids were received from two companies by the submission deadline of April 24, 2025. All bids were evaluated based on the qualifications submitted by each firm, with careful consideration given to experience, capacity, and proposed approach.

Following the evaluation process, all applicants were notified of the results. WCA received the highest evaluation score, demonstrating strong qualifications and extensive experience in municipal tree maintenance. WCA also submitted a detailed and competitive cost proposal, including a five-year tree grid pruning cycle covering the period from 2025 to 2030. A summary of the line- item cost proposal is provided in Attachment C.

III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

Over the past two fiscal years, the Tree Maintenance and Removal Program has been supported with funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Specifically, in FY 2023/24 (Round One of ARPA funding), a total of $250,000 was allocated to the program.

In FY 2024/25 (Round Two of ARPA funding), an additional $300,069 was allocated.

For the upcoming FY 2025/26 budget, staff has requested the inclusion of $7 5,000 in account number 10040.029900 to continue supporting the City’s tree maintenance efforts.

IV. EXISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:

The Tree Maintenance and Removal Program agreement aligns with the first priority of the City’s Strategic Plan, which is to ensure that the community has adequate, well - maintained rights-of-way and park facilities. Proper maintenance of the City’s urban forest supports public safety, enhances the community’s appearance, and preserves the l ong- term health of the City’s tree population.

V. POLICY ALTERNATIVES:

If the City Council chooses not to award the contract to West Coast Arborists, Inc. to continue providing citywide tree maintenance services, the City could face significant risks. Without a dedicated contractor, trees may be left unpruned, increasing the potential for falling limbs or tree failures, particularly during periods of high winds and wet weather.

This could result in damage to public and private property and pose a threat to public safety, potentially increasing the City’s exposure to liability claims .

Contractor must utilize Line Clearance Qualified Tree trimmers if working within 10ft of high voltage power lines. If aerial utility wires present a hazard to the Contractor’s personnel or others near the work site, work is to immediately cease, and the appropriate utility company notified. Work shall then commence in accordance with instructions from the utility company. If work causes excavation, the City is responsible for properly marking the location and the Contractor is responsible for appropriate notification of Underground Service Alert (USA).

(f) No hooks, gaffs, spurs, or climbers will be used for while climbing trees other than for removals and inaccessible Palms when needed.

(g) Final pruning cuts shall be made without leaving stubs. Cuts shall be made in a manner to promote fast callous growth

(h) The specific techniques employed shall be consistent with industry practice for the size and species of tree being trimmed. All dead, broken, damaged, diseased or insect infested limbs shall be removed at the trunk or main branch. All cuts shall be made sufficiently close, ½ inch, to the parent stem so that healing can readily start under normal conditions. All limbs 2” or greater shall be undercut to prevent splitting. The remaining limbs and branches shall not be split or broken at the cut. All crossed or rubbing limbs shall be removed unless removal will result in large gaps in the general outline of the tree.

(i) Cut laterals to preserve the natural form of the tree, leaving the head open enough for the branching system to show and permitting the dead material to be easily ITEM 6

Page 15 ends

cleaned out and light to show through the head. Tree foliage shall be reduced by at least fifteen (15%) percent but no more than twenty- five (25%) percent.

2. Block Tree Pruning
Block tree pruning consists of pruning trees along a block segment or “run” as designated by the City. This is different from “Grid Pruning” where all trees are prune (small, medium, and large-sized) within a grid or district.

3. Pruning for Clearance
As directed by city staff, tree pruning shall provide optimum clearance without jeopardizing the health and structure of the tree. Pruning to raise shall be in accordance with standards set forth by the International Society of Arboriculture Pruning Standards (Best Management Practices) and the ANSI A300 Standards under “Pruning to Raise.” Clearance prunes are performed on a grid system or on a street -by-street basis. Clearances for adjacent structures and their conn ecting utility lines (service drops), shall be determined by the City staff and conform to the following:

a. When pruning the bottom branches, care shall be given to obtain a balanced appearance when viewed from across the street immediately opposite the tree.

b. Without damaging the trees, c ut to laterals to preserve the natural form of the tree. Remove lateral branches at their point of origin or shorten the length of a branch by cutting to a lateral, which is large enough to assume leadership.

c. When cutting back, avoid cutting back to small suckers. Remove smaller limbs and twigs in such a manner as to leave the foliage pattern evenly distributed.

d. Not all trees can be properly raised for clearance without jeopardizing the balance, structure and/or health of the tree. The City will make the final decision on a case-by-case basis.

4. Pruning Palm Trees
Any tree work performed on a City tree must be done according to the City’s specification. The criterion for pruning varies based on the type or purpose of pruning.

Palm Pruning consists of maintaining the crowns and trunks of palm trees including the pruning of spent or declining fronds, seedpods and the skinning or shaping of spent petiole bases into a ball or nut as applicable by palm type.

a. The use of climbing spurs or spike shoes for the purpose of climbing palm trees is prohibited, unless specifically approved by the City administrator .

The Contractor , when possible, will use an aerial tower with sufficient height to reach the crown for the purpose of pruning City Palm trees.

ITEM 6

Page 16 ends

b. Palm Skinning (additional service & cost) - Dead fronds, and parts thereof, including stubs, can be removed along the entire length of the trunk of each palm, leaving a clean unsheathed appearance slicked from the ground to approximately twenty- four to thirty- six (24” – 36”) inches from the base of the green fronds at the top of the palm . The frond stubs (cut close to trunk) can be left in place within a span of at least eighteen (18”) inches but no greater than thirty-six (36”) inches.

5. Tree Removals
After the City determines that a tree requires removal, the City will prepare a list of trees to be removed, notifies homeowners, and submits lists to Contractor. The City is responsible for marking trees so that they are easily identifiable by Underground Service Alert and the Contractor. Contractor calls Underground Service Alert (USA) and prepares internal work order. Crew removes tree and hauls all debris. Crew grinds stumps to a depth of approximately eighteen (18”) inches. All holes will be backfilled with a combination of native soil and stump grindings. Special projects that are difficult to access with equipment or require the need for a crane or an aerial tower over seventy-five (75’) feet will fall under Crew Rental rates. The City Staff shall make the final determination to remove or provide public noticing for removal at a later date. Removals shall be conducted in good workmanlike manner in accordance with the standards of the arboricultural profession.

No wood shall be left along public right-of-way unless approved by the City staff.

All tree parts are to be loaded into transport vehicles or containers. The vehicles or containers must have the front, sides and rear solid and the top shall be tarped, or otherwise tightly enclosed. The transporting of tree parts must be made so that no debris escapes during the transport. Branches, suckers, bark, and other tree parts that are chipped are to be covered while transported and hauled to the disposal site during the workday.

Diseased and/or infested trees that are removed may require disposing of wood debris using special handling or processing for proper disposal. Additional costs may be discussed with the City.

The Contractor shall be required to call Underground Alert at least 2 days before stumps are to be ground out. All tree stumps must be removed to at least 18 inches below the lowest soil level adjacent to the stump, or until deep roots are no longer encountered. The Contractor shall grind the stump a minimum distance of one and a half (1½’) feet either side of the outer circumference of the stump.

Stumps should be cut low enough to the ground where routing can be done safely.

This may be accomplished by cutting the stump at the time of grinding, or at the time of tree removal except for infrastructure conflicts. Holes created by stump and root grinding must be filled the same day. A combination of native soil and stump grindings will be used to fill the hole to two (2”) inches above normal ITEM 6

Page 17 ends

ground level. All excess routing chips debris will be removed and loaded into transport vehicle for disposal.

6. Tree Planting
Tree planting includes the tree, stakes, ties and complete installation and watering at time of installation as directed by City staff. Planting lists should be compiled by the Inspector and submitted monthly or as needed. Contractor will guarantee the quality of the tree stock and the workmanship.

(b) The City shall be responsible for marking locations and the Contractor will notify Underground Service Alert (USA) prior to planting.

(c) Planting pit shall be dug at appropriate width and the same depth of the root ball. Before placing the tree in the planting pit Contractor shall examine root ball for injured roots and canopy for broken branches.

Damaged roots should be cleanly cut off at a point just in front of the break. Broken branches should be cut out of the canopy making sure that the branch collar is not damaged.

(d) Tree shall be placed in the planting pit with its original growing level (the truck flare) at the same height of the surrounding finish grade. In grass- covered parkways, the top of the root ball shall be level or slightly higher than the surrounding soil. In a concrete tree well, the root ball shall be 3 inches below the level of the finished surface of the concrete.

(e) Backfill material should be native soil. Eliminate all air pockets while backfilling the planting pit by watering the soil as it’s put into the hole.

(f) Trees that are planted in parkways shall have a 4” -6” high water retention basin built around the tree capable of holding at least ten (10) gallons of water. In a concrete tree well, soil should be raked against the edge of the concrete to create a sloping basin. Immediately after planting, the tree shall be watered thoroughly by filling the water retention basin twice.

(g) All trees shall be staked with two wooded lodge poles and two ties per pole. Minimum size of lodge poles shall be ten (10’) feet long, with a one and a half (1½”) inch diameter. Tree ties shall be placed at one third (⅓”) and two-thirds (2/3) of the trunk height. Stakes shall not penetrate the root ball and shall be driven into the ground approximately twenty-four to thirty (24”- 30”) inches below grade.

(h) Trunk protectors such as Arbor -Guards or an approved equal shall be placed at the base of the trunk of all new trees immediately after planting.

ITEM 6

Page 18 ends

(i) In some cases, root barriers may be required. The City will make this determination. Should a root barrier be required, the Contractor will install a mechanical barrier that redirects root growth downward, eliminating the surface rooting that damages expensive hardscapes and creates a hazard.

The barrier shall be twelve (12”) inches in depth and at a length determined by the City and placed in a circular fashion surrounding the tree’s root system. Root barriers are an additional service and cost.

(j) Clean up all trash and any soil or dirt spilled on any paved surface at the end of each working day.

(k) All trees shall be of good nursery stock that adheres to the American Standard for Nursery Stock as described in the current ANSI Z60.1 Standards. Trees shall be free from pests, disease, and structural defects.

7. Crew Rental
The crew and equipment can be modified to complete any type of miscellaneous tasks including special projects that may consist of extraordinary work. As directed by C ity staff, trees requiring service prior to their regularly scheduled grid or annual trim to rectify a specific problem such as blocked street lighting or signs, right -of-way clearance for utility lines, or broken limbs may be performed under the Crew Rental rate. The use of crew rental may be warranted due to inaccessibility, in park or slope locations, or non- linear tree pruning.

8. Emergency Response
The Contractor shall be required to provide emergency on call response for damaged trees because of storms or other reasons. Emergency calls may occur at any given time.

The Contractor will be provided with locations and the work to be done at each location via telephone from a City authorized representative. Emergency work shall begin within two (2) hours of the initial telephone call.

Contractor shall be required to provide a twenty-four (24) hour emergency phone number or the names of at least ten (10) contact individuals upon award of contract. Should the contact persons or their phone numbers change during the contract, those changes shall be submitted to the City within two (2) working days.

Contractor shall be required to provide all necessary traffic control during emergency work. Should the work involve any high voltage power lines or any utility lines the Contractor shall be required to notify the responsible utility company.

Work performed under the emergency provision of this contract shall be paid for on a crew hour basis from portal to portal.

required occurrence limit.

2. Automobile Liability: $5,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and property damage

3. Workers’ Compensation $1,000,000 Vendor shall maintain Worker’s Compensation

ITEM 6

4. Employer’s Liability: $1,000,000 Per accident for bodily injury or disease.

If the contractor maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the entity shall be entitled to coverage at the higher limits maintained by the contractors.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR COMMON SITUATIONS

Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions

Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the entity. At the option of the entity, either (a) the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions as respects the entity, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers or (b) the contractor shall provide a financial guarantee satisfactory to the entity guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses.

Other Insurance Provisions

The general liability policy is to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:

1. The entity, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers are to be covered as insured with respect to liability arising out of automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by or on behalf of the contractor; and with respect to liability arising out of work or operations performed by or on behalf of the Contractor including materials, parts or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations. General liability coverage can be provided with two endorsement forms: 1) in the form of an additional insured endorsement to the Contractor’s insurance or as a separate owner’s police (CG 20 10 11 85 or its equivalent language) and 2) a CG 20 37 10 01 endorsement form or its equivalent language) and 2) a CG 20 37 10 01 endorsement form or its equivalent language.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR COMMON SITUATIONS (continued)

Acceptability of Insurers

Insurance is to be placed with insurers with a current A.M. Best’s rating of no less than A:VII, unless otherwise acceptable to the entity. This is only a recommendation. The entity may decide to accept an insurer with a rating of less than A:VII depending on various circumstances.

It is also recommended that the insurer for the contractor/consultant/vendor/lessee be “admitted” in California. This means that the insurer is licensed to do business in California, is subject to his insurance regulations and contributes to the guarantee fund.

However, there may be situations where a non-admitted insurer will have more financial strength (and the ability to respond to claims) than some admitted insurers. Please contact your broker, legal counsel or BRS when faced with this situation.

Those recommendations are applicable to almost any risk and exposure discussed in this manual.

Verification of Coverage

Contractor shall furnish the entity with copies of original certificates and endorsements, including amendatory endorsements, effecting coverage required by this clause. The endorsements should be on forms provided by the entity or on other than the entity’s forms, provided those endorsements or policies confirm to the requirements. All certificates and endorsements are to be received and approved by the entity before work commences; however, failure to do so shall not operate a waiver of these insurance requirements. The entity reserves the right to require complete, certified ITEM 6

copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements affecting the coverage required by these specifications at any time.

Subcontractors

Contractor shall include all subcontractors as insureds under its policies or shall furnish separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverages for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

CITY COUNCIL

Resolution No. 202 5-XXX, Approving a Landscape and Maintenance Agreement with BrightView Landscape Services, Inc. for Smyrna Park, River Bluff Park, and City R ight-of-Ways, and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Agreement

These areas require regular landscaping and janitorial services to ensure they remain clean, safe, and visually appealing for residents and visitors.

For many years, Howard Prep Company provided landscaping and janitorial maintenance services for Smyrna Park, River Bluff Park, and City rights -of-way. That contract ended on June 30, 2022. Beginning in July 2022, the City awarded a new contract to EMTS, Inc. to provide landscaping services for an initial one-year term, with the option to extend the contract for up to two additional one- year terms. The current contract with EMTS, Inc. is set to expire on June 30, 2025.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The City issued a Request for Bids (RFB) for landscaping and janitorial maintenance services on March 17, 2025. Bids were received from four companies on May 1, 2025, and were subsequently evaluated for responsiveness and responsibility. BrightView Landscape Services, Inc. submitted the lowest responsive and responsible bid in the ITEM 7
amount of $284,928.00. A detailed bid tabulation, including line- item results, is provided in Attachment B.

III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

The landscape maintenance services for Smyrna Park, River Bluff Park, and City rights - of-way were programmed in the FY 2024/25 budget and have also been included in the proposed FY 2025/26 budget under Contract Services, allocated across the following account numbers: 10040.029900 in the amount of $266,628.00, 27040.029900 in the amount of $2,500.00, and 26940.029900 in the amount of $15,800.00.

IV. EXISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:

The landscape maintenance agreement aligns with the first priority of the City’s Strategic Plan, which is to ensure the community has adequate, well-maintained rights-of-way and park facilities.

V. POLICY ALTERNATIVES:

Given the uncertainty and volatility of the current market, the Council may choose not to award the contract to BrightView Landscape Services, Inc.; however, this could risk the monthly non-contracted price increasing to an unknown amount with another landscape company.

VI. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

N/A
VII. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:

IX. STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

Resolution No. 202 5-XXX, Approving a Three -Year
Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement with Stanislaus County for Participation in the Urban County Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Consortium for Fiscal Years 2026-2029 and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Agreement

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends Council adopt the Resolution, authorizing the City of Ceres to continue participating in the Stanislaus Urban County CDBG Program Consortium for Fiscal Years 2026- 2029.

I. BACKGROUND:

The city is a member of the Stanislaus Urban County Consortium, consisting of Stanislaus County, the Cities of Ceres, Hughson, Newman, Oakdale, Patterson, Riverbank, and Waterford. Participation in the Consortium enables the County and participating jurisdictions to access funds directly from the federal government (Housing and Urban Development or HUD Community Development Block Grant Program), rather than compete for funds through the State.

Every three years, each jurisdiction within Stanislaus County has the opportunity to decide whether to continue, join, or request exclusion from the Consortium. The current three-year program cycle ends September 30, 2026.

The goals of the Consortium are to: 1) provide decent housing; 2) provide a suitable living environment, and 3) expand economic activities. Of note, not only do the participating jurisdictions receive an allocation, but there are also other CDBG program funds earmarked for workforce development and fair housing. These programs benefit residents within all of the Consortium jurisdictions.

ITEM 8

As a current member of the Consortium, the City has upgraded its infrastructure (new curbs, gutters, sidewalks) consistent with the goals of the CDBG program.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

Continued participation in the Stanislaus Urban County CDBG Program Consortium will allow the City to receive federal funds. In order to continue being a member of the Consortium, the City must formally submit a signed copy of the attached “Cooperation Agreement” to Stanislaus County.

III.

FISCAL IMPACTS:

The City will be able to receive federal funding under the CDBG Program Consortium IV. EXISTING POLICY / RELTATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:

VI. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

VII. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:

VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The adoption of a resolution regarding the Cooperation Agreement is not a project and therefore not subject to CEQA.

IV. STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

The Cooperation Agreement shall be executed by the City Manager and submitted to Stanislaus County.

Rosalinda L. Vierra, Dist. 2
Cerina Otero, Dist. 3
Daniel A. Martinez, Dist. 4
MEETING DATE: June 9, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas D. Dunford, City Manager
CONTACT: Doug Dunford, City Manager
[email protected], (209) 538-5751
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2025 -XXX, Approving Amendment #6 to the Whitmore Mansion Foundation Agreement and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Agreement
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends the City C ouncil to approve the a greement extension for the Whitmore Mansion Foundation to provide management and oversight of the facility.

I. BACKGROUND:

On January 14, 2013, the City acquired the Whitmore Mansion. On February 5, 2013, the City executed an “Agreement Regarding the Use Operation and Management of the Whitmore Mansion” (Agreement) with the Whitmore Mansion Foundation (Foundation).

The stated purpose of the Agreement was an initial arrangement for the immediate day - to-day management of the facility, create a long-term operational strategy, and create the mechanism for the Foundation to ultimately acquire the Mansion.

The Agreement had a initial term of 12 months from the date of acquisition with a provision to continue on a month to month basis until terminated by either party by giving a 30 day written notice.

The agreement has been amended in 2014 , 2015, 2016, 2019, and 2020 to add one additional year to the term of the agreement. The current agreement ran through January 31, 2021. The purpose of this discussion item is to review the current status, review the current agreement and receive Council direction regarding the future of the Whitmore Mansion.

The Whitmore Foundation is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation that is operated by a Board of Directors and the chairperson is Lisa Mantarro-Moore. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Foundation has made quarterly reports to the Council for the past three years. This report represents the last quarterly report of the current agreement.

ITEM 10
The Foundation has been utilizing volunteers and Board members to do clean- up and minor maintenance on the property. Staff have also been involved in repairs and maintenance and other minor maintenance.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The parties are not as far along in the development of the long- term p lan as was anticipated when the Agreement was signed and originally extended. Staff resources have not been available to proceed with the major activities delineated in the agreement.

III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

The mansion was acquired for $482,492.41, of which $196,992.41 came from Neighborhood Park Fees and $285,500 from Community Facilities components of the Public Facilities Fees (PFF). In 2013, the operating costs were estimated at $9,100 per year. In 2014, those expenses decreased to roughly $8,600 ; however, for the following three years the total expenses rose to $28,000.

In the past, revenue has not been able to keep pace with expenses and fell short every year since the City purchased the property.

MEETING DATE: June 9, 2025

FROM:

Douglas D. Dunford, City Manager
[email protected], (209) 538-5751
CONTACT:

Shannon Esenwein, Finance Director
[email protected], (209) 538-5764
SUBJECT: Council Direction and Follow -Up on Fiscal Year 2026 Proposed Budget
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends that the City Council provide direction and make recommendations on the Fiscal Year 2026 Proposed Budget, based on the discussion and feedback received during the June 2, 2025, Budget Workshop. This input will guide staff in finalizing the budget for adoption on June 23, 2025.

I. BACKGROUND:

The City of Ceres develops an annual budget that serves as both a financial plan and a strategic tool for allocating resources in alignment with City Council priorities and community needs. The Fiscal Year 2026 Proposed Budget addresses a projected $1,961,097 General Fund deficit, requiring the City to consider long- term solutions to maintain fiscal sustainability.

During the Budget Workshop on June 2, 2025, Council received a presentation from the City Manager and Finance Director, focused primarily on the General Fund. This fund supports core services including public safety, street maintenance, parks and recreation, and general government operations.

II.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

At the Budget Workshop on June 2, 2025, the City Council and community members shared several potential items for consideration, such as:

1. Cost Reallocation from Departmental 63 Elected Officials:
• Remove training and medical insurance costs from Department 63 current allocation; and
ITEM 11
• Reallocate General Fund resources to departments under Interim Chief Johnson, including Police and/or Code Enforcement.

2. Stanislaus County Animal Services Cost Review:
• Initiate discussions with the Joint Powers Authority (JPA) that manages Stanislaus County Animal Services to identify potential cost reductions including purchasing our own truck and allocating a staff member similar to the City of Modesto; and
• Staff will begin formal conversations with the JPA partners and return to Council with updates and possible options.

Staff will incorporate, where feasible, the recommendations and direction provided this evening into the Adopted Budget Presentation on June 23, 2025. Suggestions that are longer-term in nature will require further research and analysis and will be brought back for Council consideration at a future date.

III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

Fiscal impacts will be reflected in the revised Adopted Budget Presentation on June 23, 2025 which will incorporate the changes directed by the City Council.

IV. EXISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:

These recommendations reflect Council’s priority to sustain essential public safety services while ensuring responsible fiscal management
V. POLICY ALTERNATIVES:

Council may provide additional or alternative direction to staff prior to final budget preparation.

VI. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

Each department actively participated by preparing and submitting its individual budget requests, ensuring that they aligned with operational needs and available resources.

VII. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:

As part of our responsible budgeting best practices, the City Council and staff encourage input from residents, stakeholders, and community members , reinforcing the City’s commitment to a transparent and inclusive process. During these challenging times, the City wants to continue robust engagement with the community to hear from them and keep the dialogue open as we work together to maintain Ceres’ quality of life.

VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

N/A

ITEM 11
IX. STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

The next meeting on this item will be held on June 23, 2025 and staff will present the Adopted Budget for City Council consideration and final approval. In the meantime, staff will also initiate conversations with the Animal Services JPA and provide an update to Council once further information is available.

DEPARTMENT FUNCTION
The professional staff of the Police Department consist s of the Records Division, Dispatch, Property and Evidence, Code Enforcement, and Abandon Vehicle Abatement (AVA) units.

Records is the initial point of contact when entering the lobby of the Police Department and assists the public in both English and Spanish. The Department provides copies of police reports, vehicle releases, and information related to citations.

The Ceres Police Department's Dispatch Center functi ons around the clock, 24/7, to provide police related services to the communities of Ceres and Newman in emergency and non-emergency situations. Dispatchers are tasked with receiving the initial incident information and organizing the correct agencies and resources to address a wide variety of situations.

RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Records Division has taken over the processing of all parking citations. In the past, this service was contracted out to a third -party company. Bringing this process in -house has resulted in significant cost savings for the city. In addition, the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement has seen an increase in abatements of vehicles.

FUTURE GOALS
This year’s goal is to fill all vacant positions and create a stable work environment. The department is focused on employee wellness and committ ed to a continued healthy working environment by providing various options for employees to choose from.

DEPARTMENT FUNCTION
The Ceres Police Department's Code Enforcement Unit is responsible for ensuring private properties and public grounds comply with our municipal codes through education and enforcement methods.

RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The City’s Code Enforcement Unit successfully identified and abated numerous illegal dump sites and homeless encampments, while also completing several significant clean -up projects across the city. Additionally, they conducted inspections, issued notices of violations, handled public nuisance calls, and issued citations to illegal street vendors.

The Code Enforcement team played a crucial role in organizing and staffing the Third Annual Community Disposal Day, and actively participated in Love Ceres by contributing to various clean-up efforts. Furthermore, they efficiently disposed of tons of trash throughout the city.

Code Enforcement staff works collaboratively with Automobile Ab atement Officers, Streets Department staff, and our Graffiti Abatement contractor. They have also diligently pursued Code Enforcement certification through the California Code Enforcement Officers Association (CACEO) via module training courses while completing various safety training programs to ensure safer abatement projects.

FUTURE GOALS
Code Enforcement will continue to investigate violations of housing, zoning, vehicle abatement, and general laws.

The Department will work to achieve compliance through education and notification. Continue to use legal procedures when all else fails in gaining compliance, remove nuisances and rubbish, and issue civil and criminal citations. The goal will be to continue to improve the quality of life and property values for the residents and business owners of Ceres.

Utilizing advanced camera inspection technology, staff video-inspected 9.73 miles of existing sewer trunk lines to identify problem areas and prioritize necessary improvements. In addition, the team overhauled, maintained, and replaced several pond aerators at the Wastewater Treatment Plant to enhance the treatment process and improve Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) levels.

FUTURE GOALS
The Wastewater Division is preparing to update the City’s Sewer Master Plan (SMP) and Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) to guide future development, maintenance, and system improvements. As part of the City's long- term infrastructure goals, the division is also planning significant upgrades to the existing Wastewater Treatment Plant.

These improvements will transition the facility into a tertiary treatment system, enhancing water quality and regulatory compliance. Additionally, the project will include the installation of a solar power field to support sustainable energy use and reduce operational costs.

ecreation Department plays a vital role in creating a healthy community through building unique partnerships and diverse and innovative programming. By providing safe and secure spaces to learn, play, create and imagine, the department is continuously striving to meet the needs of the community and enhance the quality of life in Ceres.

RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The heart of
the Ceres Recreation Department revolves around the community and its recreation programs. The Ceres Recreation staff understands how vital recreation is to the community and has continued to work tirelessly year-round to expand, improve, and grow these programs. Throughout the year, the Recreation Department offered several large City events that included Concerts in the park, Trunk or Treat, the Christmas Festival and Parade, Easter Event, and the Hot Air Balloon Event. These events cumulatively brought in 80+ vendors, 10,000 + attendees and several other festivities.

The Recreation Department has been extremely busy due to an increase in demand for rental spaces, classes, and other programs. Multiple additions of classes have been added including Science, Technology, Engineering and Math education (STEM) program and Yoga.

Additionally, the Department launched the
creation of a Night Market, providing an exciting new space for local vendors, entertainment, and community engagement during the evening hours. This initiative reflects a continued effort to offer dynamic, inclusive programming that appeals to a wide range of residents.

FUTURE GOALS
The Recreation Department will continue the efforts to expand and diversify youth, adult, and family programs within the community, by establishing deeper collaboration with other City departments, outside agencies, community organizations and maintain coordination with Ceres Unified School District. This upcoming year, staff will continue to Recreation

The City Manager ensures the City's vision and mission are accomplished.

RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Successfully filled all executive leadership posit ions. There has been a concen trated focus on cleaning up blight through the City which has resulted in a robust Code Enforcement Division. The City Manager contracted with a grant writing consultant who has been successful at securing several grants for the City.

Thoroughly researched and successfully increased user and regulatory fees. It is expected that development impact fees will also be increased before the end of Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

FUTURE GOALS
The Finance Department is committed to advancing its operations through strategic initiatives that promote efficiency, regulatory compliance, and superior service delivery.

A top priority is the full implementation of the Project Accounting module, which will significantly enhance the department's ability to track, manage, and report on capital improvement projects. This system will provide greater transparency, more accurate budgeting, and improved oversight of project expenditures, ultimately supporting better decision-making and fiscal accountability. In an effort to improve customer service and streamline internal operations, the department plans to transition to a new business license provider.

This initiative will ensure that internal procedures remain robust, compliant, and conducive to a well governed financial environment. These initiat ives underscore the Finance Department’s dedication to innovation, accountability, and continuous service enhancement. By focusing on these key areas, the department aims to strengthen its financial infrastructure and better serve both internal stakeholders and the community.
