Resolution No. 2025-XXX, Approving Addendum #1 to the Current School Resource Officer Services Agreement and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Agreement
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving an addendum to the current School Resource Officer Services (SRO) agreement.

I. BACKGROUND:

This addendum modifies the agreement between the Ceres Unified School District and the City of Ceres for School Resource Officer services originally entered on July 1, 2023.

The purpose of this addendum is to amend the terms of the agreement to utilize the number of School Resource Officers (SRO’s) assigned under the agreement from four (4) to three (3) for the remainer of the contract term, which continues through June 30, 2026. All other provisions of the Agreement remain unchanged and in full force and effect unless expressly modified by an addendum.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The program provides a positive law enforcement presence at the Ceres Unified School District schools and assists in positive youth development. It also provides and reinforces crime prevention which enhances campus safety resulting in greater community safety.

III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

This amendment will provide funding for the salaries of the three (3) SRO positions and the District will reimburse the City 100% of the total cost of these salaries.

ITEM 6
IV. EXISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:

The partnership between the Ceres Police Department and the Ceres Unified School District holds with the City’s Strategic Plan regarding Community Engagement: “Establish strong relationships with all sectors of the community….” V. POLICY ALTERNATIVES:

Council could choose to not approve this amendment which would result in the School District having no School Resource Officer presence at their schools.

VI. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

The City of Ceres Finance Department (payroll section) provided updated costs for the salaries of three (3) SRO positions. The salary cost in its entirety for three (3) SROs is reflected in this Agreement.

VII. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:

VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

IX. STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

Upon Council approval, the amendment will be executed by the City Manager and Ceres Unified School District.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

Resolution No. 202 5-XXX, Ratifying the Memorandum of
Understanding between the City of Ceres and Ceres Police Officers’ Association and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Memorandum of Understanding
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends the City Council ratify the Memorandum of Understanding between the Ceres Police Officers’ Association effective July 1, 2025.

I. BACKGROUND:

The Memorandum of Understanding with the Ceres Police Officers’ Association expires on June 30, 2025. The City’s negotiating team has been meeting with the group since April, and under the parameters set by the City Council.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The City has reached agreement on all terms and conditions of employment with the Ceres Police Officers’ Association. On June 16, 2025, tentative agreement was ratified by this Group. The main provisions of the MOU agreement are as follows:

Term
• Four years, expiration June 30, 2029.

Wage Increase:
• Year one – 5% first full pay period following July 1, 2025 • Year two – 5% first full pay period following July 1, 2026 • Year three – 5% first full pay period following July 1, 2027 • Year four – 5% first full pay period following July 1, 2028 ITEM 10
The City has faced persistent challenges related to recruitment and retention within the Police Department. High vacancy rates have placed increased strain on remaining personnel, contributed to elevated overtime costs, and impacted service delivery. The Police Department currently operates with a 17.02% vacancy rate, significantly higher than what is typical or sustainable for an agency. This adjustment is a targeted effort to improve competitiveness in the regional labor market and to enhance our ability to attract qualified candidates and retain experienced officers.

The proposed recommendations bring the City closer to market average and part of a broader effort to stabilize the workforce, reduce turnover, and maintain the high standards of public safety our community expects and deserves.

III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

The estimated impact of the 5% wage increase is approximately $486,700 annually.

Funding for this increase has been included in the current Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget.

The increase is fully funded through the General Fund and Measure H.

IV. EXISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:

Government operations: Provide quality services to meet community needs, assuring that the City has helpful, well-trained, properly equipped, and sufficient staff who partner with other public agencies to provide efficient services to the community.

V. POLICY ALTERNATIVES:

Council could choose not to ratify the agreement.

VI. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

N/A
VII. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:

N/A
VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

N/A
IX. STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

Upon approval, the City Manager will sign the agreement, and the conversion process will begin. The Human Resources Department will handle the conversion and coordinate updates to the City’s website as appropriate.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

Resolution No . 202 5-XXX, Approving a R egional Solid Waste Disposal Plan Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Ceres and Stanislaus County and Authoriz ing the City Manager to Execute the Memorandum of Understanding
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends the City Council approve a Regional Solid Waste Disposal Plan Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Ceres and Stanislaus County and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.

I. BACKGROUND:

As one of the nine incorporated Cities in Stanislaus County, the City of Ceres is part of the Stanislaus County Regional Solid Waste Planning Agency, which was formed to collaborate on compliance activities and share diversion credits as mandated by Assembly Bill 939, as well as establish an Integrated Waste Management Plan (IWMP) for regional solid waste planning within Stanislaus County. Stanislaus County acts as the lead agency for the Regional Agency and provides certain administrative services as such.

As provided in the IWMP, The City of Ceres has operated under an MOU with Stanislaus County for the disposal of solid waste at the County owned landfill since 2015. This iteration of the MOU was modified from the previous to include conditions that require d the guarantee of a percentage of the City’s waste delivery to be diverted instead to the Stanislaus County Resource Recovery Facility (waste -to-energy (WTE) Facility) , also referred to as Covanta, and established a tipping fee increase for WTE deliveries. As of January 2025, the WTE facility has ceased operations and is currently being decommissioned. As the current MOU includes the stipulation to deliver a percentage of waste to the WTE, a revised MOU is necessary to reflect current waste disposal services available and establish a contractual agreement for continued use of the County’s landfill ITEM 11
Facility. Further, the current MOU expires in June 2025 and the new MOU will need to be authorized to continue to deliver waste to the landfill facility.

The proposed MOU includes an increase in the tipping fee cost that is charged to the City’s waste hauler and ultimately reflected in the City’s rate structure for garbage services. In the current MOU, the tipping fee for the landfill is $29.00 per ton. However, waste diverted to Covanta was charged $43.00 per ton. The increased rate included a percentage of the fee to be allocated for AB 939 complia nce services, provided by the County as the Regional Agency lead, as well as a percentage utilized for expenses attributed to the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Facility and mandated programs for HHW handling regulations. The increase in tipping fees in the proposed MOU are to supplement these services that were included in the Covanta fee, which is no longer in operation and therefore not generating funds to pay for these programs.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

Use of the County landfill for the disposal of solid waste generated by the City of Ceres requires an MOU with Stanislaus County. The current MOU does not reflect the current service structure for waste delivery as well as has an expiration date of June, 2025. There are little to no viabl e options for alternate facilities available to dispose of solid waste collected daily within the City of Ceres and an MOU is necessary to continue delivery of solid waste to the County landfill.

III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

Based on 2024 tonnage deliveries to the landfill and Covanta, the proposed tipping fee would increase costs to the City’s franchised solid waste hauler, Bertolotti Disposal, estimated at approximately $350,900. Although these costs aren’t directly charged to the City, ultimately they will be passed on through the cost of services by Bertolotti Disposal.

IV. EXISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:

This collaborative effort aligns with the Strategic Plan by promoting regional partnerships, ensuring long-term environmental stewardship, and supporting efficient and cost-effective solid waste management practices.

V. POLICY ALTERNATIVES:

Council may choose not to approve the MOU with Stanislaus County . This is not recommended as it will significantly impact solid waste disposal services for the City of Ceres as well as negate ongoing regional compliance programming for State mandates, potentially leaving the City in violation of several State mandates and vulnerable to enforcement action.

Resolution No. 2025-XXX, Adopting Appropriations Limitations for Fiscal Year 2026
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends the City Council to approve the following:

1. Resolution No. 2025-XXX, adopting the Annual Budget for the City of Ceres Fiscal Year 2026 and Approving Positions for Fiscal Year 2026.

2. Resolution No. 2025-XXX, adopting the Appropriations Limitations for Fiscal Year 2026.

I. BACKGROUND:

The budget development process was initiated with department heads and their respective staff submitting funding requests for Fiscal Year 2026. Each department head, along with their staff, prepared and submitted detailed funding requests outlining their financial needs and priorities for the upcoming fiscal year. Comprehensive review sessions were held after submission. These meetings included collaborative discussions between the department representatives, Finance Department personnel, and the City Manager. As part of the City’s routine budget adoption process, the community also provided input The primary objective was to evaluate the requests, assess their feasibility, and align them with the City's strategic goals and available resources. The outcome of these collaborative meetings was the formulation of the Adopted Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2026. This budget reflects an allocation of resources intended to support the City's operations, essential services to protect our quality of life, and strategic initiatives.

ITEM 12
As shown in the graph below, total projected citywide revenues for Fiscal Year 2026 are estimated at $87.2 million, with total expenditures projected at $96.1 million. While this reflects a difference of approximately $9 million, it does not represent a structural deficit.

The variance is primarily due to planned capital improvement projects funded by existing fund balances in enterprise and special revenue funds such as Water, Sewer, and Transportation. These are one -time infrastructure investments utilizi ng revenues accumulated in prior years. Some individual funds, including the Community Center Fund, continue to operate in deficit, however, the F iscal Year 2026 Proposed Budget is structured to prevent further widening of those gaps. The only fund operating in a structural deficit is the General Fund.

ITEM 12
The proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2026 projects total General Fund revenues of $27.5 million and total expenditures of $29.5 million, resulting in a projected shortfall of $2 million. This deficit is due to a structural imbalance in the General Fund, where the growth in expenditures continues to outpace revenue growth. The General Fund is responsible for many of the core services Ceres residents rely on, including 911 emergency response, public safety, streets, homelessness, and youth and senior programs, among others. If Ceres continues operating the General Fund within a structural deficit, without additional local funding, the City may need to make cuts to local services and programs. We are committed to exploring all options to ensure we preserve our quality of life and remain self reliant during these difficult times. Aligned with our community engagement best practices, we will continue to work with our Ceres community , stakeholders, residents, and business owners, to ensure our community’s needs and priorities are reflected in any future decisions.

General Fund revenue is projected to remain relatively stable, with only modest increases anticipated in key areas such as property tax, sales tax, business license tax, and transient occupancy tax. While these revenue streams are showing some growth, it is not at a pace that matches the rising costs of providing City services.

Property tax revenues have increased
slightly due to the ongoing tightness in
Ceres’ housing market. Higher mortgage
interest rates have made borrowing more
expensive, which limits how many people
can afford to buy homes. As a result, fewer
homes were sold in 2024, and the supply of
available houses remains low. This limited
inventory keeps home prices steady, which
in turn supports a modest increase in
property tax revenue.

Sales tax revenue for Fiscal Year 2026 is
projected to increase by 4.4%, driven
primarily by continued growth in the
restaurant sector. In contrast, revenue from
existing Development Agreements (DAs)
related to adult -use and medical cannabis
sales is expec ted to decline further as the
market continues to soften. Looking ahead,
the City remains optimistic about the
positive fiscal impact of ongoing and
upcoming commercial developments, which are anticipated to strengthen future sales tax performance that support our City services and programs.

Over the past year the City has been positioning itself for long-term fiscal sustainability by improving the cost recovery and fee structures.  A new user fee schedule was adopted by Council in November 2024 to ensure fees are more in line with the cost to provide the service and reflects broader regional practices to support long term service sustainability.

Additionally, a Public Facilities Fees study is nearing completion, and the City is working on a water and sewer rate study , which may come to the City Council and the Ceres’ ITEM 12
community for consideration to ensure those utilities can continue to meet vital infrastructure needs.

In addition, the City is in the final year of both the fire services agreement with the City of Modesto and the School Resource Officer contract with Ceres Unified School District.

Over the coming year, both agreements will be reviewed and renegotiated.

A key driver of the structural deficit is the anticipated increase in pension contributions to StanCERA, with a nearly 10% increase in pension costs for safety personnel. These pension obligations are largely funded through the General Fund and represent a growing share of ongoing expenses.

In addition, like many City across California, Ceres continues to see increases in insurance premiums, driven by escalating claims and litigation. These costs can be volatile and are often beyond the City’s direct control, adding another layer of financial pressure.

Other operating expenses are also being affected by broader economic conditions, including inflation and ongoing global trade challenges, such as tariff fluctuations. These factors contribute to higher prices for supplies, equipment, and contracted service s, further driving up the cost of maintaining core City operations. Compounding this uncertainty is the reality that state support is increasingly limited , rather than providing financial relief, the State may continue redirecting local revenues to address its own budget shortfalls. At the national level, the rising cost of goods and services continues to strain communities like ours. In this environment, Ceres must remain fiscally self -reliant, as it always has, through thoughtful planning and prudent use of local resources to ensure essential services are protected and sustained.

Fiscal Year 2026 budget includes funding MOU placeholders aimed at attracting and retaining qualified personnel, however, no new full-time positions are being proposed at this time. The Fiscal Year 2026 budget currently has 14 unfunded positions. This includes 7 positions that went unfunded in Fiscal Year 2025 and an additional 7 positions that are unfunded in this budget. These positions include 3 public safety dispatchers, 3 police officers, police captain, police sergeant, deputy public works director, finance secretary, senior feet mechanic, custodian, facility maintenance worker and the community development director. These positions are critical to city operations but are currently not financially viable.

The Fiscal Year 2026 General Fund budget includes a transfer of $592,000 to support several programs and facilities that are not currently generating sufficient revenue to be self-sustaining. These transfers will provide continued operational support for the following funds:
• Community Center Operations
• Landscaping & Lighting Districts
• Clinton Whitmore Mansion
• Whitmore House
• Concerts in the Park
Additionally, the General Fund includes a scheduled repayment to the Sewer Fund for a prior loan used to purchase a fire engine. These transfers represent the City’s ongoing ITEM 12
commitment to maintaining and investing in community amenities and programs throughout Ceres that keep our neighborhoods safe.

The City’s General Fund revenues for Fiscal Year 2026 look lower compared to prior years, but this isn’t due to an actual drop in revenue. Instead, the decrease is the result of a change in how Community Facilities District (CFD) revenues are handled. In past years, money collected from CFD assessments was transferred into the General Fund to help pay for essential services like police, fire protection, park maintenance, and general administration. Starting in F iscal Year 2026, that money will stay in the C FD funds, and both the revenue and expenses will be shown directly within those CFD funds.

This change doesn’t affect the level of services being provided, it just changes where the money is shown in the budget. Additionally, CFD1 and CFD2 will now be reported as separate funds to more clearly comply with existing state regulations that govern how special revenue funds must be tracked and presented.

As illustrated below, the General Fund is projected to close Fiscal Year 2026 with an estimated ending fund balance of $4.8 million. This would reduce the fund balance reserve to approximately 16.3% of total General Fund expenditures. While this remains close to recommended standards, it falls below the City Council’s previously established policy target of 18% and just under the Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA) recommended minimum reserve level of 17%.

Given this reduction, it is essential that the City closely monitor both revenue collections and expenditure trends throughout the fiscal year. If significant variances are identified , whether from shortfalls in revenue or unexpected increases in expenditures , staff will prepare an item for City Council consideration to evaluate potential adjustments or corrective actions.

Several key financial constraints were considered during the development of the Fiscal Year 2026 budget. One-time federal funding sources, such as the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding is no longer available to provide relief to the General Fund, resulting in the full impact of ongoing operating costs being absorbed by core revenues.

Additionally, Internal Service Fund department such as the IT department and facilities will no longer receive partial funding support, requiring a full cost recovery from operating departments. The Fiscal Year 2026 budget also does not include funding for fleet and ITEM 12
equipment replacement due to limited available resources. Cost increases in materials, supplies, and contracted services have placed additional pressure on department budgets, requiring departments to reassess and prioritize services in order to remain within financial constraints. Reducing costs any further will impact the availability of services provided to the community.

Efforts will continue towards building a robust sales tax base, fostering a healthy local economy, and ensuring fiscal sustainability. The City will maintain its proactive approach to economic development and its business -friendly environment. This strategy, coupled with prudent expenditure management and community engagement will help the City achieve fiscal stability.

Preparing a budget of this magnitude is a collaborative effort. It would not have been possible without the support, coordination, and hard work of all City departments and the dedicated professionals involved throughout the process. A special thank you goes to the Finance Department , specifically Shannon Esenwein, Sonia Ledezma, and Lauren Robbins, for their commitment and countless hours spent developing the budget. Their work helps ensure the City continues to meet the needs of our community.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

Adoption of the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget will allow uninterrupted funding of core services after June 30, 2025. The recommendations in the proposed budget reflect strategies that will:
• Maintain key service levels;
• Maintain an investment in improvements to the City’s infrastructure and facilities; and
• Maintain reserves at 16.3%.

III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

The General Fund budget includes $29.5 million in expenditures, exceeding projected revenues of $27.5 million. The resulting $2 million deficit will be funded through fund balance reserves. While this gap will be temporarily covered using reserves, it’s important to note that these funds are intended as a safeguard, typically akin to an emergency fund, which is not a sustainable solution for ongoing structural shortfalls. Citywide, total budgeted revenues are $87.2 million, with expenditures totaling $96.1 million. While the City continues to deliver essential services, economic growth remains constrained by national economic trends including inflation, stagnant revenue trends, and rising costs. A long-term strategy will be necessary to address the structural imbalance in the General Fund and ensure future fiscal sustainability.

IV. EXISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:

This budget reflects the Council’s strategic priorities, including infrastructure investment, community livability, economic development, long -term planning, efficient government operations, and active community engagement. It also initiates the first year of the City’s Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan.

ITEM 12
V. POLICY ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may consider the following alternatives:

1. Adopt the Resolutions approving the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget, Authorized Position List, and Appropriations Limitations as proposed.

2. Modify and Adopt any or all the Resolutions to reflect changes as directed by the Council.

3. Provide Alternative Direction to staff for further review, revision, or action.

VI. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

The budget preparation process was a collaborative effort involving all department directors, their staff, the finance department, and the City Manager. The City Manager and the Finance Department worked closely with each department to develop a budget that aligns with operational needs while identifying opportunities to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

VII. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:

Consistent with the City’s best practices, a public budget workshop was held on June 2, 2025 and a regular Council Meeting on June 9, 2025 , which included Council and community input. The Final Budget reflects the direction given to staff and maintains alignment with Council goals and input from our community on their needs and priorities.

During these challenging economic times, the City of Ceres will continue the dialogue with our community and work together protect our local quality of life.

VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

N/A
IX. STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

Upon Council approval, the Finance Director will implement any necessary technical adjustments to reflect the Adopted Budget. All finalized budget documents, including itemized details, will be filed with the Finance Department and made publicly available on the City’s website.

The Finance Director is authorized to approve payments for goods and services in accordance with the City’s adopted budget, programs, and policies. Any outstanding encumbrances, created by existing purchase orders, projects, or MOU related costs, from Fiscal Year 2025 will be carried forward, and the City Manager and/or Finance Director are authorized to take all necessary actions to carry these encumbrances forward across the appropriate City funds.

LOCATION
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. Ceres is in one of the Central Valley’s richest and most diverse agricultural areas and is the home of the new County Agriculture Center. Even the name “Ceres” originates from the mythological Goddess of Agriculture. With fertile soils, a mild climate and high-quality affordable water, the area consistently ranks at least fifth in the state for its value of agricultural production. For area residents, the surrounding farmland provides refreshing aesthetic quality, and the abundant local harvest is always appreciated at many seasonal and roadside farmers’ markets.

HISTORY
The third largest city in the county, Ceres is a growing community with a heartfelt commitment to retaining its small neighborhood personality. Ceres is a city of rich ethnic and cultural diversity, which makes it a rewarding place to live and work. The community has a deep appreciation for the past and a firm commitment to the future. Economic growth, development, and improvement of the quality of life are major goals of the whole community. City officials have made a commitment to maintain the delicate balance between quality living, quality growth, and the preservation of the family farm which remains the cornerstone of area’s economic and historical base.

Businesses, organizations, and nonprofit community groups band together for a number of activities throughout the year. Events such as the annual Ceres Street Fair in May and summertime concerts in the park are well attended. The preservation of the historic Whitmore House (the first home built in Ceres) is a community project and is revitalized each year as new generations contribute their thoughts and ideas.

Ceres is self-sufficient with its variety of retail and service businesses has grown over the last two years with the “Gateway Project” on Mitchell Road. The “Always Try Ceres First” Chamber of Commerce motto is just good advice! The Ceres Unified School District has received National and Distinguished school awards and is supported generously by the community.

City planners have made a concerted effort toward responsible growth of the community with over 14 developed park and recreation areas that complement affordable housing. Soccer teams, Little League, adult softball, youth football, community swim ming and a golf course offer many weekend activities for families.

There is a wide variety of housing available in Ceres, including new homes as well as resale homes. Prices range from entry -level homes starting at approximately $ 300,000 to executive homes in excess of $700,000. Multiple family units in Ceres including apartments, duplex, triplex, and mobile home park living are also available.

ITEM 12

GOVERNMENT

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.

FTE:10

DEPARTMENT FUNCTION
The Wastewater System Division is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the City of Ceres' Wastewater Treatment Plant and Wastewater Collection System. The division plays a critical role in protecting public health and the environment by ensuring the safe and efficient treatment and disposal of wastewater.

The Wastewater Treatment Plant processes over 2.7 million gallons of wastewater per day. Division staff are responsible for maintaining all operational systems of the plant, managing more than 190 acres of percolation and evaporation basins and surrounding grounds, and overseeing 14 lift stations and approximately 133 miles of pipeline within the City's collection system. In support of the City’s sustainability goals, all landscaping at the treatment plant is irrigated using reclaimed wastewater.

RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Wastewater Division successfully completed 66 service requests and conducted routine maintenance by cleaning

61.51 miles of sewer mainlines. 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 p ond 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 Treatm ent 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.

These accomplishments reflect the Finance Department’s ongoing commitment to operational excellence, financial accountability, and responsive customer service.

FUTURE GOALS
The Finance Department is committed to advancing its operations through strategic initiatives that promote efficiency, regulatory compliance, and superior service delivery. As part of its ongoing efforts toward continuous improvement, the department has outlined several priority goals for the upcoming period.

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 change is expected to optimize the processing of business licenses, reduce turnaround times, and provide more responsive and accessible support to taxpayers. The goal is to make the business licensing experience more efficient and user friendly for the community.

The department plans to review and update its existing accounting and finance policies. Many of these policies have become outdated and require realignment with current regulatory standards, industry best practices, and the evolving operational needs of th e organization. This initiative will ensure that internal procedures remain robust, compliant, and conducive to a well governed financial environment.

These initiatives 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.
