RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution; 1) approving Project Agreement No. 5 to the Master Agreement for Professional Consultant Services with Westwood Professional Services for design services for the Building on Active Transportation Connectivity and Access within the City (New Project String) Project (the “Project”) in the amount of $301,600; 2) approving the Project to be added to the Capital Improvement Program; 3) approving a new Project String; 4) accepting Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant funding in the amount of $256,000; 5) approving a budget amendment in the amount of $256,000; 6) approving budget transfers from Measure L Project 2408 in the amount of $19,352.42 and Project 2522 in the amount of $64,228.33, for a total project budget of $403,280.75 to cover local match and staff time, and 7) authorizing the City Manager to execute Project Agreement No. 5.

I. BACKGROUND:

The Building on Active Transportation Connectivity and Access within the City Project (the “Project”) is intended to expand and improve the City of Ceres (“City”) network of ITEM 7
bicycle and pedestrian facilities in order to enhance safety, accessibility, and connectivity throughout the community. The Project supports the City’s efforts to provide safe and convenient active transportation routes that connect residents to key destinations such as schools, parks, transit facilities, community services, and commercial areas.

The Project includes improvements along several corridors within the City, including Ninth Street, Lawrence Street, Moffett Road, Moore Road, Eastgate Boulevard, Roeding Road, Whitmore Avenue, Fowler Road, Hatch Road, and River Bluff Regional Park.

Proposed improvements include installation of approximately 4.39 miles of bicycle lanes/routes and approximately 2,800 linear feet of pedestrian improvements, along with other safety and accessibility enhancements such as crosswalk improvements, curb ramps, wayfinding signage, lighting, and bicycle amenities.

These improvements are intended to create a more connected network for bicyclists and pedestrians, allowing residents, students, families, and recreational users to safely access destinations throughout the City while encouraging walking and bicycling as alternative modes of transportation.

The City applied for and was awarded $256,000 in Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant funding for the design phase of the Project. The ATP , administered by the California Transportation Commission and Caltrans, supports projects that improve safety and mobility for non-motorized users while encouraging active transportation and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

To advance the Project toward construction, the City requires professional engineering design services including preparation of plans, specifications, and cost estimates, coordination with regulatory agencies, and compliance with state and federal funding requirements.

Westwood Professional Services currently maintains a Master Agreement for Professional Consultant Services with the City and has extensive experience in transportation design, grant-funded infrastructure projects, and coordination with Caltrans Local Assistance requirements. The proposed Project Agreement No. 5 will authorize Westwood Professional Services to perform the necessary design services for the Project and prepare the Project for future funding and construction.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

Approval of the proposed resolution is recommended for the following reasons:

1. Improving Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety - The Project will improve safety for bicyclists and pedestrians by providing dedicated facilities, improved crossings, and ADA-compliant infrastructure along key corridors within the City.

2. Expanding Active Transportation Connectivity - The proposed improvements will create a connected network of bicycle and pedestrian routes that provide access to schools, parks, downtown destinations, transit facilities, and other community resources.

3. Utilization of State Grant Funding - The City has been awarded $256,000 in Active Transportation Program grant funding for the design phase of the ITEM 7
project. Accepting these funds allows the City to leverage state funding to advance important infrastructure improvements.

4. Supporting Community Health and Mobility - Expanding active transportation infrastructure promotes healthier lifestyles, reduces vehicle dependency, and improves air quality while providing equitable transportation options for residents of all ages and abilities.

5. Consultant Qualifications and Project Readiness - Westwood Professional Services has the technical expertise and experience necessary to complete the design phase and ensure compliance with Caltrans Local Assistance procedures and grant funding requirements.

6. Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Alignment - The project is funded through a combination of ATP grant funding and Measure L local matching funds. The project does not require the use of General Fund resources.

7. Capital Improvement Program Planning - Adding the project to the City’s Capital Improvement Program ensures appropriate financial tracking, project oversight, and long-term infrastructure planning
III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

Upon approval this Project will be added to the City’s 5-Year Capital Improvement Program. Funding will be appropriated to the following project account as it was not in the FY26 budget:
• 26895.800500 (New Project String) - $256,000.00
To fully fund the design contract and staff time, the following budget transfers are recommended:
• Transfer funds from 27195.800500 (2408) - $19,352.42
• Transfer funds from 27195.800500 (2522) - $64,228.33
This Project does not utilize any General Fund resources.

IV. EXISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:

This Project is in conformance with the First Goal of the Strategic Plan:

Infrastructure: Ensure that the community has adequate, well-maintained infrastructure that fosters a quality community and supports a strong economy.

V. POLICY ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may consider the following alternatives:

1. Do Not Approve the Resolution
If the City Council chooses not to approve the resolution, the design phase of the project would not proceed. This could result in the potential loss of ATP grant funding and delay improvements intended to enhance pedestrian and bicycle safety and connectivity.

2. Delay Action Pending Further Review
The City Council may direct staff to return with additional information or ITEM 7
alternative approaches. This action could delay the project schedule and potentially impact grant funding timelines.

VI. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

N/A
VII. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:

Public outreach and community input were conducted during development of the City’s Active Transportation Plan and ATP grant application process.

Community surveys indicated strong support for improvements that provide safer walking and bicycling routes and better connectivity between destinations within the City VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

N/A
IX. STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

Upon Council approval, the City Manager will execute the task order with Westwood Professional Services, and staff will proceed with design.

SUBJECT:

Waiver of Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 2026-XXX, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Ceres Amending Title 5, Business Licenses and Regulation, Chapter 20, Fireworks Sales of the Ceres Municipal Code
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends the City Council waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 2026- XXX, amending Title 5, Business Licenses and Regulation, Chapter 20, Fireworks Sales of the Ceres Municipal Code.

Over recent years, staff have identified recurring issues during the fireworks sales period, including:
• Increased illegal fireworks activity
• Fire hazards and property damage
• Enforcement challenges
• Neighborhood complaints related to noise, debris and safety In response, staff reviewed the existing ordinance to develop recommended revisions.

After introduction and first reading, staff identified and corrected a typographical error in the definition of “Nonprofit,” revising the reference from Section 501(c)(3) to Section 501(c) as a clerical change.

ITEM 8
4914-9324-6621, v. 1

Staff is recommending these revisions to the existing ordinance to accomplish the following:
• Broaden the definition of dangerous fireworks
• Address Point of Sale safety requirements
• Strengthen the requirements for the storage of fireworks • Provide updated standards for Safety Training
• Augment the fines imposed for violations
III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

Depending on the fines issued during the fireworks season, these revisions could result in improved cost recovery to the city.

IV. EXISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:

N/A
V. POLICY ALTERNATIVES:

Should Council decide not to approve the revisions to the ordinance, the Police Department will continue to attempt to regulate fireworks sales using the existing municipal code.

ITEM 9a & 9b
4928-9510-1595, v. 3
I. BACKGROUND:

The Medical and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MAUCRSA”), codified in Business and Professions Code section 26000 et seq., established the comprehensive state regulatory framework for commercial medicinal and adult-use cannabis activity.

MAUCRSA expressly preserves the authority of local jurisdiction to regulate or prohibit cannabis operations within their boundaries.

The City of Ceres (“City”) has permitted and regulated medical and adult use cannabis businesses under the Cannabis Pilot Program codified in Chapter 5.22 (“Pilot Program”), of the Ceres Municipal Code (“CMC”), established on May 29, 2018. Since the establishment of the Pilot Program, the City has gained a better understanding of the commercial cannabis industry and its impact to public health, safety, and welfare. Based on this experience, staff and the Ceres City Council (“City Council”) have identified the need to update the Pilot Program to a permanent regulatory structure to strengthen the City’s enforcement authority and ensure consistent compliance with local and state regulations.

II. DISCUSSION:

The City Council has held multiple public discussions and heard from staff, City cannabis operators, and the public regarding potential changes to the City’s regulation of cannabis businesses. Based on these discussions, staff has prepared substantial amendments to the CMC to implement the City Council’s direction regarding updates to the City’s cannabis regulations.

The updates to cannabis business regulations are contained in two separate ordinances.

The first Ordinance proposes amendments to section 5.03.010, General, of Chapter 5.03, General Permit Procedure, and amends Chapter 5.22, Cannabis Pilot Program. The second Ordinance, is a zoning ordinance text amendment that adds Chapter 18.44, Cannabis Conditional Use Permits to the City’s Zoning Ordinance and amends related zoning provisions to authorize cannabis businesses within specified zoning districts.

The revisions to the CMC will result in cannabis businesses being subject to three entitlements: (1) a City business license, (2) a development agreement, and (3) a cannabis conditional use permit. Although each entitlement is governed by a separate chapter of the CMC, they are intended to operate collectively to ensure compliance with applicable state and local laws. Together, these entitlements create an integrated and cohesive regulatory framework governing cannabis businesses within the City.

On March 23, 2026, the City Council, by unanimous vote, approved the first reading and introduced both Ordinances, with revisions to the first Ordinance to implement a cap of two cannabis retail dispensaries in the City and have the Chief of Police be responsible for enforcement of cannabis regulations. Those revisions have been made to the Ordinance for the second reading.

1. Proposed Changes to Section 5.03.010 General, of Chapter 5.03, General Permit Procedure.

Section 5.03.010, subdivision (A), currently requires commercial cannabis businesses to obtain a separate permit issued by the City. The City Council has directed staff to ITEM 9a & 9b
4928-9510-1595, v. 3
eliminate this standalone permit requirement and instead rely on development agreements and cannabis conditional use permits as the primary regulatory mechanisms for commercial cannabis businesses.

The proposed amendment to section 5.03.010 aligns the CMC accordingly by removing the redundant cannabis business permit requirement. Cannabis businesses will remain subject to the requirement to obtain and maintain a general City business license pursuant to Title 5.

2. Proposed Changes to Chapter 5.22, Cannabis Business Regulations.

Chapter 5.22, Cannabis Pilot Program, currently contains the City’s cannabis business regulations. The proposed ordinance would repeal Chapter 5.22 in its entirety and replace it with a revised Chapter 5.22, Cannabis Business Regulations.

The proposed Chapter 5.22 contains general requirements on cannabis businesses, provides the procedure for cannabis businesses to obtain a development agreement, and establishes the City’s enforcement mechanisms.

The City Council has expressed interest in establishing a limit on the number of cannabis dispensaries permitted within the City. The Council was presented with two alternatives and ultimately selected a cap of two dispensaries. This cap was incorporated into the Ordinance for second reading.

The revised Chapter 5.22 clarifies and formalizes the procedures for cannabis business development agreements. The Chapter establishes defined application requirements and approval procedures, including fingerprinting and police-conducted background checks for all cannabis business owners.

The proposed amendments to Chapter 5.22 expand the City’s enforcement authority by expressly authorizing inspections, establishing administrative fines for minor violations, incorporating nuisance abatement procedures for code violations, and providing a costrecovery mechanism to reimburse the City for expenses incurred in connection with enforcement actions. The City Council directed staff to specify that the Chief of Police is responsible for enforcement of this chapter. Staff has incorporated this revision into the Ordinance for second reading.

3. Proposed Addition of Chapter 18.44, Cannabis Conditional Use Permits.

Adding Chapter 18.44, Cannabis Conditional Use Permits, is an amendment to the City’s Zoning Ordinance. On February 2, 2026, the Ceres Planning Commission passed a resolution recommending the City Council adopt the Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to add Chapter 18.44 to the CMC as required by state law.

The addition of Chapter 18.44 to the CMC requires all cannabis businesses operating within the City to obtain and maintain a Cannabis Conditional Use Permit. Each permit establishes property-specific conditions of approval that govern the operation of the cannabis business and with which the business must continuously comply.

ITEM 9a & 9b
4928-9510-1595, v. 3
Cannabis conditional use permits start with the same cannabis business application used for development agreements. The cannabis conditional use permit then follows the existing procedure for conditional use permits which are approved by the Planning Commission.

Chapter 18.44 provides the minimum conditions of approval for each cannabis business.

The Planning commission may impose more stringent conditions based on an applicants circumstances. The conditions of approval include but are not limited to:
• Premises Conditions;
• Security Conditions;
• Cannabis Waste Conditions;
• Cannabis Odor Conditions;
• Cannabis Cultivation Conditions;
• Cannabis Manufacturing Conditions;
The City’s enforcement options for cannabis conditional use permits include administrative citations and revocation. Specific circumstances under which a cannabis conditional use permit may be revoked are also provided by the Chapter. Revocation proceedings follow the same procedures applicable to the revocation of traditional conditional use permits under Chapter 18.30.

In addition to adding chapter 18.44, the ZOTA amends multiple sections of Title 18 to identify where cannabis businesses are permitted as conditional uses. The City’s current cannabis businesses are located in Planned Community and Industrial zones. Staff has proposed that cannabis businesses may be conditional uses in the following zones:
• Planned Community - CMC Chapter 18.13
• Community Commercial – CMC Chapter 18.16
• Wholesale Commercial - CMC Chapter 18.17
• Highway Commercial - CMC Chapter 18.18
• Light Industrial - CMC Chapter 18.19
• General Industrial - CMC Chapter 18.20
III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

The proposed amendments clarify and strengthen the City’s enforcement authority over cannabis businesses. By establishing clearer compliance mechanisms and enforcement tools, the amendments are expected to reduce the administrative and legal costs associated with pursuing violations and to enhance the City’s ability to recover fines, fees, and other revenues owed by cannabis businesses.

V. POLICY ALTERNATIVES:

1. Introduce the ordinances for first reading with the City Council’s preference related to the limit on cannabis businesses permitted in the City; or

2. Provide direction to staff related to the ordinances; or

3. Deny the ordinances.

VI. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

N/A.

VII. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:

The public is encouraged to provide input at the City Council meeting.

VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The proposed Ordinances are a general policy change that does not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and, therefore, does not meet the definition of a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 21065 of the Public Resources Code and Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, California Code of Regulations).

IX. STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

The City Council will consider approval of the second reading and adoption of the Ordinance at a later meeting of the City Council.

SUBJECT:

Resolution No. 2026-XXX, Approving a Budget Amendment in the Amount of $89,991.52 for Fiscal Year 2025-26 to Appropriate Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Funds to Purchase a New Vehicle from Downtown Ford Sacramento Center and Upfitting of Said Vehicle
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to approve a budget amendment in the amount of $89,991.52 for Fiscal year 2025-26 to appropriate Abandoned Vehicle Abatement (AVA) Funds to purchase a new vehicle from Downtown Ford Sacramento Center and upfitting of said vehicle.

I. BACKGROUND:

The AVA (Abandoned Vehicle Abatement) unit has needed a replacement vehicle for several years. The unit is currently operating a 2013 Ford F-150 with approximately 100,000 miles. The vehicle has exceeded its optimal service life and has become increasingly expensive to maintain, with repair costs expected to continue to rise.

Additionally, it lacks modern vehicle safety features such as a backup camera and lanedeparture or lane-assist indicators.

The in-vehicle CAD computer and police radio are outdated and in need of replacement.

Portions of the vehicle are beginning to show signs of rust, and it is not fuel-efficient. The existing emergency lightbar is worn and no longer provides the level of visibility offered by newer systems. Furthermore, the vehicle is not equipped with Parking Enforcement License Plate Reader (LPR) equipment, limiting the unit’s operational efficiency.

ITEM 10
II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The current 2013 Ford F-150 AVA vehicle has exceeded its useful lifespan within the fleet and has become increasingly expensive to maintain, with ongoing repair costs expected to continue. The proposed replacement vehicle has been identified as a Ford Ranger pickup, which is smaller and more versatile than the Ford F-150 and offers improved fuel efficiency.

The new vehicle will be equipped with an updated police radio and a laptop-based CAD computer. It will also be outfitted with a License Plate Reader (LPR) system specifically designed for parking enforcement. This LPR system will allow AVA officers to track and geolocate vehicles and will automatically scan license plates to notify officers when a vehicle’s registration is expired.

Overall, the new vehicle will utilize modern technology to improve enforcement efficiency, accuracy, and officer safety and with the new vehicle graphics it will proudly display our department Core Values of Pride, Integrity and Excellence.

III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

The total cost for the purchase and upfitting of the new AVA vehicle is $89,991.52.

Funding for this vehicle will be provided through the AVA Fund which is restricted to expenditures related to Abandoned Vehicle Abatement operations. A Fiscal Year 2025- 2026 budget amendment is required for the purchase and upfitting to account number 29509.051100. This budget amendment will have no General Fund impact. $40,183.60 Ford Ranger Pickup (See Attachment C)
$10,387.54 - Vehicle upfitting to including emergency lights, console, computer mount, toolbox (See Attachment D)
$24,912.88 - LPR (license plate reader) installation and 1year service contract. (See Attachment E)
$8,673.63 - Police radio (See Attachment E)
$5,311.24 - CAD computer (See Attachment G)
$522.63 - Vehicle graphics (See Attachment H)
IV. EXISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:

Approval of this AVA Vehicle purchase and upfitting fulfills the strategic plan for Government Operations to “Provide quality services to meet community needs, assuring that the City has…properly equipped…staff.”
V. POLICY ALTERNATIVES:

Council could choose not to approve this service agreement. AVA Officers will continue to use their assigned vehicle but will experience significant down time due to repairs and maintenance.
