The Need for Connection
Nationally, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) highlight that social isolation and loneliness have become more prevalent in recent years, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic.

The CDC's Household Pulse Survey indicates that a significant portion of adults report feelings of loneliness and a lack of social support, factors that can adversely affect mental health.

According to:

Cited: CDC.GOV, (2022, June 10). Social isolation and loneliness among adults Locally in Stanislaus County the need is reflected in several key data points:

A recent Community Health Assessment for the county identifies social isolation and related behavioral health needs as priority areas. Health Services Agency+1
A behavioral health evaluation found that among respondents in the county’s prevention programs, 19% of all respondents reported not asking for support from other community members, and among a specifically at-risk population this figure was as high as 59%. StanBhrs Prevention In the senior population (age 65+), nearly 45% of residents were considered economically insecure (according to the Elder Index) — a factor that often correlates with increased risk of isolation. Senior Coalition The 2025-2028 Community Health Improvement Plan explicitly includes the goal to “gather and analyze data on social isolation and related behavioral health needs in Stanislaus County to identify priority populations.” Health Services Agency ITEM B

The following are stories and quotes from

Stanislaus, and their connections with
neighbors.

ITEM B
“local neighbors ready to help and
assist where it was needed. It
reassured the need for family
based events similar to this one
that way all can enjoy regardless of
the financial status a family is in.”
Ceres
Event: National Night Out
“Great Conversation with
neighbors, and participants.”
Ceres Resident
“It not only brought immediate neighbors
together but also neighbors from other
neighborhoods throughout the city of
Ceres. The best part is that it helped
show that camaraderie amongst the
community and our local 911 emergency
service men can be built. It also helped
build bridges amongst the
neighborhoods to help make new
friendships and strengthen the city of
Ceres neighborhoods as a whole unit.”

SUBJECT: Register of Audited Demand(s) Dated April 8, 2026, through April 16, 2026
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

City Council approve the register of audited demand(s) dated April 8, 2026, through April 16, 2026, covering obligations to be paid by general warrants in the amount of $1,698,210.52 I. BACKGROUND:

In accordance with Section 37202 of the Government Code of the State of California this is presented here with a summary of demands against the City of Ceres covering obligations to be paid for the period ending April 8, 2026, through April 16, 2026.

Each demand has been audited and I hereby certify to their accuracy and conformance with the budget. Sufficient funds are available for payment of these demands.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the register of audited demands has been examined by me and to the best of my knowledge and belief is a true, correct and complete listing of claims audited and payable.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The Finance Department monitors payments of invoices for accountability, accuracy, and completeness. Budgeted payrolls and demands paid by warrants or checks may be presented to the legislative body for ratification and approval. This allows for invoices to be paid in a timely manner to establish goodwill with merchants and allows for discounts to be taken where applicable.

III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

The attached listing represents the cash disbursements required of normal and usual operations during the period. The disbursements are accounted for in the FY 2025-26 ITEM 3
budget. There is a $1,698,210.52 fiscal impact for the period of April 8, 2026, through April 16, 2026.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

Resolution No. 2026 -XXX, Approving a Project Agreement to the Master Agreement for Professional Consultant Services with Kleinfelder Inc. in the Amount of $28,354.60 for Materials Testing and Special Inspection Services for the Rockefeller Water Building Improvements (2402) Project, Approving a $10,000 Contingency, and Authorizing the Interim City Manager to Execute the Agreement
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommend the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the execution of a Project Agreement under the Master Agreement for Professional Consultant Services with Kleinfelder Inc., in the amount of $28,354.60, for Materials Testing Services and Special Inspection Services for the Rockefeller Water Building Improvements (Project No. 2402). Staff also recommends approval of a $10,000 contingency and authorization for the Interim City Manager to execute the agreement.

I. BACKGROUND:

The Engineering Department utilizes consulting engineers when specialized engineering services are needed for Capital Improvement Projects and development projects in the City of Ceres (“City”). To streamline consultant selection, staff requested a proposal from Kleinfelder Inc.

The work to be performed includes, but is not limited to, demolition of interior walls, plumbing, and electrical. New work will include new walls, ceilings, finishes, new mechanical, plumbing, electrical, lighting and structural to support space configuration.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

While City staff will provide oversight, additional support is required from a qualified professional firm to perform materials testing and special inspection services. Having a ITEM 4
firm is essential for ensuring compliance with applicable codes and regulations. These firms provide independent, third -party verification that construction materials and installation meet design and safety standards. Their work helps prevent costly errors, supports timely close-out, and reduces liability by documenti ng that structural elements, fire-resistant systems, and critical components were properly installed. Ultimately, they protect the project team, the public, and the long-term performance of the building.

III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

Sufficient funds are available in the following accounts to fully cover the cost of these services:
• 52795.800500 (2402)
This project will not require the use of 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 choose not to approve the resolution. However, this would eliminate the use of a professional testing and special inspection firm for the project, significantly increasing the risk of potential failures due to improperly executed construction techniques.

VI. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

N/A
VII. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:

N/A
VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

N/A
IX. STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

Upon Council approval, the Interim City Manager will execute the agreement with Kleinfelder Inc. , and staff will proceed with scheduling the necessary inspection and testing services in coordination with the construction timeline.

SUBJECT: Proposal to Provide Construction Materials Testing and Special Inspection Services

Dear Mr. Silva:

Kleinfelder Inc. (Kleinfelder) is pleased to present this proposal to provide construction materials testing and special inspection services for the proposed improvements to the facilities located at 1921 Rockefeller drive located in Ceres, California. The purpose of our services will be to provide the City of Ceres (or your representative) and your design professionals with field data and information in order to assess compliance with the project plans and specifications. We welcome the opportunity to be part of the Project Team. The following proposal presents: our understanding of the project, the scope of services we anticipate providing, an estimate of our fees, authorization, information, and our limitations.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING

We understand t hat the project will consist of the construction of tenant improvements at two (2) buildings (North and South buildings) located at the project address. The structures will be subjected to various degrees of demolition and improvements The project falls under the jurisdiction of the C ity of Ceres.

Our understanding of the project was based on our experience with similar projects in the same jurisdiction and a cursory review of the following documents:

• Notice Inviting Bids-Project No. 2402
• Approved Final Plans from RED Inc. Architects dated June 20, 2024

If the project understanding is different than described, please contact us so we can adjust our scope.

SCOPE OF SERVICES

The scope of services for this project was developed based on information provided by Kevin Silva representing the City of Ceres. The estimated durations, quantities and services should be considered approximate and also subject to change based on the contractor’s actual methodology and work schedule.

Kleinfelder will provide a project manager to coordinate and provide oversight of our field personnel for our services. The project manager and main point of contact assigned to this project is anticipated to be Lance Young. The project manager will receive sup port from our dispatcher, and Johan Jacobsen, our Senior Project Manager. Kleinfelder will staff the project from our Stockton CA. office supported by key staff from throughout the Northern California region with inspectors and technicians appropriately certified and approved by the jurisdictional authority to perform inspection services on each element of work being observed, tested, or inspected. The following lists the anticipated scope of services to be provided by Kleinfelder:

KLEINFELDER 2001 Arch-Airport Road, Suite 100, Stockton, CA 95206 p | 209.948.1345 f | 209.234.4700 TASK 1 – Earthwork Observation and Testing (Reporting Role Only)

A. We will provide an engineering technician on a periodic basis to observe earthwork construction and perform density testing to evaluate adherence to the project plans, specifications, and recommendation of the geotechnical report as required by the project plans and specifications .

We anticipate these services to be performed during removal and recompaction construction, trench backfill compaction, excavation of footings and preparation of subgrade engineered fill.

B. Our Project Manager will review the daily progress reports during foundation excavation and slab subgrade observation. Items found in non -compliance with the project requirements will be brought to the immediate attention of the general contractor, design ated design professionals, and your representative.

Our estimate does not include corrosion testing of the in -situ soils. If these tests are required for the Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) mix design parameters , Kleinfelder can perform these services at an additional cost.

TASK 2 – Special Inspection and Materials Testing

A. Reinforced Concrete and Concrete Masonry Unit Special Inspection & Testing

Our services are anticipated to include periodic reinforcing steel inspection, concrete masonry unit inspection continuous observation and testing during cast-in-place concrete placement and grouting operations. Slump, temperature, and air content tests will be performed, and concrete and grout specimens will be cast for compressive strength testing in accordance with the project specifications and local jurisdiction requirements. Concrete and grout specimens will be picked up and delivered to our Stockton CA. laboratory after the initial on-site curing period. Copies of batch tickets for all concrete placed will be monitored during placement for mix compliance and copies retained for loads sampled and tested. We have assumed the proper submittals of material compliance (for reinforcing steel, cement, aggregate and admixtures) will be submitted to eliminate qualification testing by us . We have not included concrete batch plant inspection as part of this proposal. Kleinfelder can provide these services if desired , following our receipt of appropriate authorization.

B. Epoxied Anchor/ Dowel Inspections.

Our Services are anticipated to include continuous inspection during the installation of anchors and dowels have been post installed per the project plans and specifications. Torque testing of anchors will be performed per the values stated in the project plans, research report and manufacturer recommendations.

Our senior project manager OR project manager can conduct field visits and provide consultation to the design team, as needed during the project. Upon completion of the project, we will provide a final summary report to document the services provided.

Our senior project manager OR project manager is also responsible for providing qualified personnel, supervision, invoice review per contract, provide oversight of our services and communication with the client and design team.

B. Reports
Our certified field staff will prepare daily reports detailing work items observed with a copy provided to the owner and the general contractor ’s superintendent on-site prior to leaving the site or via email . At the completion of the project our project manager will prepare a final summary report to document the services we have performed.

It should be noted our services will not include: (1) supervision, direction, or acceptance of the contractor's work; (2) interpretation or modification of the project plans or specifications; (3) submittal of test results or reports to any regulatory agency (unless specifically requested by the Client in writing); or (4) job site safety.

ESTIMATED FEES

Based on the scope of services outlined, we have developed a tentative budget estimate of $28,354.60 (Attachment A). Should the construction schedule require a lesser or greater amount of service than that estimated herein, the cost for construction testing services would vary accordingly. A detailed summary of our estimated fees is presented in Attachment A, for your review.

We propose our services be compensated per the existing Master Services Agreement currently in effect between the City of Ceres and Kleinfelder Inc. on a time and expense basis It should be noted that the fee rates shown in Attachment A are inclusive of labor costs and standard equipment charges. Equipment that is non-standard (coring equipment, rebar locators, floor flatness equipment, etc.) will be invoiced on a per unit use basis in accordance with our current fee schedule. Mileage / Vehicle charges will be invoiced at a rate of $0.725 per mile / $75 per day. All services will be invoiced on a portal-to-portal basis from our Stockton CA. office. Services requested and not listed in this proposal may be provided and will be charged in accordance with our current Master Services Agreement (MSA) in effect between the City of Ceres and Kleinfelder inc.

While we are confident in our review of the project schedule and plans, it may be possible for deviations to occur once the project has begun. The actual cost of our services will depend largely on the contractor's efficiency and actual schedule and progress, as well as impact of weather and work stoppages, all of which are beyond our control. Our total fees may also fluctuate depending on the quality and performance of the construction materials used in addition to the contractor’s approach and scheduling of construction sequences, work force, and jurisdictional requirements and events, which occur during the course of the project that cannot always be predicted in advance.

We will attempt to coordinate our services with the contractor’s site superintendent to efficiently service the project. It should be noted that the fees above do not anticipate overtime work on the project. If overtime is required, the rates associated with overtime work are at 1.5 times the listed hourly rates in Attachment A. Overtime for our services is defined as work on the project by a single person in excess of 8 hours per day and all time on weekends and/or night shifts and/or holidays. If samples are required to be picked up during the weekend and/or night shift to comply with testing requirements, it will incur a 2- hour minimum charge; weekend and/or night shift services will incur a 4-hour minimum charge; holidays will incur an 8-hour minimum charge. Overtime work can significantly impact our testing and inspection budget for the project. While we will be diligent in our attempts to keep overtime to a minimum, please be aware that contractor scheduling and performance are the primary causes for over time work. Detail

Proficient contractor performance and scheduling minimizes additional testing and inspection time, consequently resulting in lower total fees. In the event conditions arise which are beyond our control were unknown at the time this proposal was prepared, unanticipated based on the available information, or differ significantly from the assumptions shown below, we may need to revise our scope of work and estimated fees in order to complete the project.

Should this occur, we will contact you for authorization before exceeding the project budget.

ASSUMPTIONS

During our proposal preparation certain assumptions were required based on the information provided by the client and our review of th e approved project plans. Based on information available during our preparation of this proposal the following assumptions apply:

• The project will be subjected to California’s Prevailing Wage Law for Public Works projects. • Kleinfelder assumes the contractor’s schedule is based on a regular 8-hour day, five days a week, and weekend or night swing shifts are not anticipated.
• It is anticipated work will be conducted during standard construction hours (6AM – 4PM). • This proposal excludes the cost of any equipment ( i.e., scaffold, scissor lifts, telescopic booms, ladders, shoring, etc.) to gain access to any area requiring inspection or sampling of materials. • All information gathered during work performed by Kleinfelder is considered confidential and will be released only upon written authorization by the Client or as required by law. Reference any local jurisdictional requirements, i.e., the City of Seattle requires submission of all Daily Field Reports to DPD on a weekly basis. Oregon law requires informing the State if a situation is encountered that can be considered an immediate endangerment to the public's health or welfare and/or to the environment.

This proposal may be subject to modification upon receipt of an updated construction schedule, plans, and/or specifications for the project or should additional staff or equipment be required to meet adjustments to the contractors schedule or convenience.

AUTHORIZATION

A signed Work Order with our proposal attached returned to this office will serve as our formal authorization to proceed. The general conditions of our Master Services Agreement are considered an integral part of this proposal. Please note that all conditions included in this proposal and our current Master Services Agreement will be in effect during this work. If a different contract is required or requested, we would be pleased to discuss this option with you ; however, some delays may be incurred in order to review the agreement.

LIMITATIONS

Our work will be performed in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by other members of Kleinfelder’s profession practicing in the same locality, under similar conditions and at the date the services are provided. Our c onclusions, opinions, and recommendations will be based on a limited number of observations and data. It is possible that conditions could vary between or beyond the data evaluated. Kleinfelder makes no guarantee or warranty, express or implied, regarding the services, communication (oral or written), report, opinion, or instrument of service provided.

This proposal was prepared specifically for the client and its designated representatives and may not be provided to others without Kleinfelder’s express permission. This proposal will remain valid for 45. If a signed agreement is not received by that time, we may need to review the proposal scope, assumptions, and associated fees for performance of our services and issue a revised proposal.

KLEINFELDER 2001 Arch-Airport Road, Suite 100, Stockton, CA 95206 p | 209.948.1345 f | 209.234.4700 Materials testing and observation services provided by Kleinfelder will be performed in accordance with generally accepted procedures practiced within the project area at the time of our services . Even with diligent monitoring, construction defects may occur. In all cases the contractor is solely responsible for the direction and quality of the work, adherence to plans and specifications, and repair of defects regardless of when they are found.

The fees presented in this proposal are based on prompt payment for services presented in Kleinfelder’s standard invoicing format. Additional charges will be applied for specialized invoicing and/or if backup documentation is needed. These special services will be charged on a time and expense basis. Late fees will be charged if payment is not received in accordance with terms contained in our contract.

The safety of our employees is of paramount concern to Kleinfelder. You will be notified if the location of your project represents a potential safety concern to our employees. Unsafe conditions for field work will require a modification of our estimated scope of work and associated fees. We will advise you of the additional costs necessary to mitigate these unanticipated conditions, if applicable.

Kleinfelder is committed to providing quality service to our clients, commensurate with their wants, needs, and desired level of risk. If a portion of this proposal does not meet your needs, or if those needs have changed, Kleinfelder will consider approp riate modifications, subject to the standards of care to which we adhere as professionals. Modifications such as changes in scope, methodology, scheduling, and contract terms and conditions may result in changes to the risks assumed by the client, as well as adjustments to our fees.

CLOSURE

We appreciate the opportunity to present our proposal for construction materials testing and inspection services to CMT Technical Services for this project and look forward to its forthcoming success. If you have questions regarding this proposal, our services and fees or if additional information is required, please contact our office at (209) 948-1345.

Agreement between Stanislaus County and the City of Ceres for Fiscal Year 2024/25 in the Amount of $215,620.75 and Fiscal Year 2025/26 in the Amount of $205,497.00, Approving a Budget Amendment to Accept the Revenue , and Authorizing the Interim City Manager to Execute the Agreement
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Adopt a Resolution approving the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding agreements with Stanislaus County and authorizing the Interim City Manager to execute the agreements and approving a budget amendment to accept the revenue.

I. BACKGROUND:

The City of Ceres (“City”), in partnership with Stanislaus County and the cities of Hughson, Newman, Oakdale, Patterson, Riverbank, and Waterford, participates in the Stanislaus Urban County for the purpose of receiving U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) CDBG fu nding. Stanislaus County serves as the lead entity responsible for the administration and implementation of CDBG funding on behalf of all member jurisdictions.

As part of this partnership, Stanislaus County prepares and submits required planning documents to HUD, including the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans (AAPs), which identify community needs and allocate funding to eligible activities.

The City was allocated CDBG funding for F Y 2024/25 and F Y 2025/26 through the approved AAPs, but the City has not yet received the funds . These funds are intended to support eligible activities that benefit low- and moderate-income residents and address ITEM 5
community development needs, including public services, public infrastructure improvements, and housing-related activities.

The execution of the FY2024/25 and FY 2025/26 CDBG funding agreements was delayed due to extended processing and approval timelines at HUD. As a result, both funding agreements are being presented together for Council consideration at this time.

The CDBG funding agreements outline the terms and conditions for the use of CDBG funds, including compliance with federal regulations, eligible use requirements, reporting obligations, and expenditure deadlines.

CDBG FUNDING

For FY 2024-2025, the City was allocated$215,620.75 in CDBG funding.

For FY 2025-2026, the City of Ceres was allocated $205,497.00 in CDBG funding.

All CDBG-funded activities must meet one of the national objectives established by HUD, which include:

1. Benefit to low-and moderate-income residents

2. Prevention or elimination of slums or blight

3. Meeting urgent community development needs

The City intends to utilize these funds for eligible administration and infrastructure improvements for the installation of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant ramps, and related curb, gutter, sidewalk repairs for the phased Morrow Village infrastructure project. The project area is bounded by Moffett Road to the west, Mitchell Road to the east, Whitmore Avenue to the south and Garrison Road to the north.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

Approval for the CDBG funding agreements is necessary for the City to access and utilize its allocated FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 CDBG funds. Execution of these agreements ensures compliance with HUD requirements and allows the City to proceed with implementation of the approved projects and programs.

III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

The City will receive approximately $ 215,620.75 in CBDG funds for F Y 2024/25 and $205,497.00 for FY 2025/26. These funds are federal pass -through funds administered by Stanislaus County and will be incorporated into the City’s Capital Improvement Plan Budget for eligible activities.

There is no impact to the City’s General Fund associated with acceptance of these funds.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through guidance, notices, and related compliance measures. While an Executive Order may not yet be codified into federal regulation, HUD has directed grantees and subrecipients to comply with them.

Accordingly, as a condition of this Agreement, the City agrees to make every effort to work collaboratively with the County to address any issues that may arise as a result of these Executive Orders or related HUD directives, and to cooperate in identifying an agreeable and practicable method of achieving federal compliance. The City further agrees to adjust its practices, policies, or program implementation as reasonably required to ensure that the County, as the HUD grantee, remains in compliance with applicable federal requirements.

Addendum 1. Policy Requirements
If applicable:

This Agreement shall not be governed by Executive Orders revoked by E.O. 14154, including E.O. 14008 or notice of funding opportunity requirements implementing Executive Orders that have been revoked.

City must administer its program in accordance with immigration restrictions under the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (8 U.S.C. 1601 1646), and any applicable requirements that HUD, the Attorney General, or the U.S.

Citizenship and Immigration Services may establish from time to time to comply with PRWORA, Executive Order 14218, or other Executive Orders or immigration laws.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

Resolution No. 202 6-XXX, Approving a Budget Amendment to Appropriate Funds Recovered from State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company and Providing HSD Masonry a Notice to Proceed with Repairs to the Wall Surrounding the Ceres Farm Labor Center
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution approving a budget amendment to appropriate the funds recovered from State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company and give HSD Masonry a notice to proceed with the repair of the cement wall surrounding the Ceres Farm Labor Center.

I. BACKGROUND:

On November 18, 2025 , a driver crashed their vehicle into the cement block wall surrounding the Ceres Farm Labor Center, causing significant damage. A report was filed with the Department of California Highway Patrol #0225005263. After investigations and claims had been submitted by the City of Ceres (“City”) , t he St ate Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company issued a payment of $45,794.33 to the City to repair the damage.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The damaged wall has left residents of the Ceres Farm Labor housing without privacy or protection from road hazards since the accident. The City has attempted to temporarily restore privacy and safety by cleaning up debris and blocking sections of the wall with plywood.

To restore the safety, privacy, and physical appearance of the Ceres Farm Labor Center, the City will need to enlist a qualified vendor to make permanent repairs to the structure.

ITEM 6
The Public Works department solicited 3 quotes for this repair and selected HSD Masonry as the most responsible option based on price, expertise, and availability. The third vendor declined.

III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

The City recovered $45,794.33 from State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, which is currently held in account 68266.007810. A budget amendment is required to appropriate these funds to the Public Works account 68230.029900 for the repair project.

The repair quote is $22,750.00, plus a 10% contingency and 8% estimated taxes, totaling $26,845. An increase in the amount of $26,845 is necessary for account 68230.029900 IV. EXISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:

This project is in conformance with the first goal of the Strategic Plan, which is to ensure that the community has adequate, well -maintained infrastructure that fosters a high - quality community and supports a strong economy.

V. POLICY ALTERNATIVES:

Should the City Council choose to reject this resolution, the wall will remain in disrepair, and the Ceres Farm Labor Center will have limited privacy and protection from other road hazards.

VI. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

Upon adoption of the resolution, Finance will process the budget amendment to Public Works account 68230.029900 and increase appropriations.

VII. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:

N/A
VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

N/A
IX. STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

Following approval of this item, Finance will process a budget amendment to increase the appropriation in account 68230.029900 by the amount of $26,845.00 and the contractor will be given a notice to proceed with the repairs.

I was dispatched to this injur_y collision call on 1111812025 at 1354 hours- All times, speeds, and measurements are approximate. Measurements were obtained via Coogle Maps.

Statements:

Party #1 (P-1, Lyons, 69 years old) was conlacted sitting in the driver seat of V-l (Honda). P-l was identified via his valid Califomia Driver License. P-l was established as the driver ofV-l by his own admission to driving V-l at the time of the collision and his location in the driver seat upon my arrival, P-l stated he was traveling northbound on Central Av towards Hemdon Av at approximately 30 miles per hour. P-l said the three phase traffic signal light was displaying a green circle. P-l told me as he proceeded through the intersection, he, "Couldnt stop in time." V-l traveled nonhbound onto the sidewalk and eventuallv collided ll,ith a six foot tall cinder block u'all- Based on P-l's age and his behavior on scene, I completed a DMV Re-Evaluation which was later sent to DMV
P- I was traveling northbound Central Av towards Herndon Rd. For unknow[ reasons, P- l traveled in a nonhwest direction tfuough the intersection instead of turning in a northeast direction. P-l drove onto the sidewalk and eventually collided into a six foot tall cinder block wall. 5l feet east ofthe E/CL ofHerndon Rd
33 feet north of the N/CL of Central Av
P-l caused this collision by driving V-l in violation of section 22350 CVC which states, "No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or prop€rty.'r Vandagrifi Krandall 821 421 11t18/2025 Lee, John E6l 11120t2025

Page 5 of 5 ends

Notification:

Other Factual Information:
\\'hile observing P-l,I noticed he was an elderly male with red bruising on his arms. The bruising did not appear to be caused from the collision. I noticed P-l had difficulty exiting V-l on his own and moved very slowly. P-l required the assistance of multiple AMR and Ceres Fire Department Personnel to stand up and walk a short distance to the gumey- When asked about the collision. it took P-l a feu.seconds before responding to my questions, It should be noted, I also heard P-l tell AMR personnel he was currently prescribed blood thinner medication.

On 7L/la/25 at 1354 hours I was dispatched as a back-up unit to an injury solo vehicle versus a wall collision at the intersection of Herndon Way and Central Ave in Ceres. I responded lights and sirens (Code 3) and I arrived on scene at 1356 hours. While lhad been enroute Officer Carvalho had arrived on scene and updated that he need Code 3 Paramedics for a conscious elderly male still inside the vehicle.

I arrived on scene to find V-1/2OO5 silver HONDA ACCORD bearing CA personalized license plate GUYCAR.

Officer Carvalho was at the drivers door so I opened the passenger side front door that was found to be locked however it was unlocked by Officer Carvalho. lfoundthe Honda to be occupied by only the driver, P- ULYONS, GUY DOB 12/30/55. There was a mobility walker placed in the front passenger side of the vehicle.

STATEMENTS:

P-1lGUY LYONS
I asked P-1, what's going on? P-1 replied, "Not too much". I then asked, what happened? P-l replied, "l guess I touched the accelerator when I should have been touching the brake". I asked, where are you hurt at? P-1 replied, " just right her on my arm", as P-1 looked down at his the inside of his right forearm which appeared to have a large wound that was bloody. I asked, is that the only place? P-1 replied, "Ya".

I asked P-l if his insurance information was in the glove compartment and he replied that it was. He then granted me permission to retrieve it. The auto insurance card I found was a Sate Farm policy from 2OO9. P-1 advised that it is still the same policy and is current.

At this point P-1 was transported to the hospital by American Medical Response (AMR) Paramedics and the Officer Vandagriff took over the investigtaion.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

Resolution No. 2026 -XXX, Approving the Subdivision
Improvement Agreement, Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs), and Reciprocal Easement Agreements for the Lions Plaza Subdivision , and Authorizing the Interim City Manager to Execute the Agreement
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the Subdivision Improvement Agreement, the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs), the Declaration and Grant of Reciprocal Easements, and the recordation of the Final Parcel Map for the Lions Plaza Subdivision.

I. BACKGROUND:

The Lions Plaza Subdivision project (the “Project”) is located at the northeast corner of Mitchell Road and Roeding Road within the City of Ceres (“City”) and consists of the subdivision of property identified as APNs 069 -019-038 and 069 -019-039 . The Project includes the development of a commercial shopping center with multiple buildings and the subdivision of the site into three commercial parcels. A Conditional Use Permit entitlement was approved to allow development of five commercial buildings and t he subdivision of the property as reflected on the Final Parcel Map .

In order to facilitate the development and long -term operation of the site, the applicant has submitted a Subdivision Improvement Agreement, along with CC&Rs and a Reciprocal Easement Agreement. These documents collectively establish the framework for construction of required improvements, as well as shared access, parking, utilities, landscaping, and storm drainage facilities across the parcels ITEM 7
II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The Subdivision Improvement Agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney and is consistent with the requirements of the Ceres Municipal Code and the Subdivision Map Act. The agreement obligates the Subdivider to construct all required improvements in accordance with approved plans and conditions of approval, provide the necessary improvement securities, and comply with applicable insurance, indemnification, and completion requirements.

The CC&Rs and Reciprocal Easement Agreement establish a comprehensive framework for the ongoing use and maintenance of shared improvements within the subdivision.

These documents provide for cross -access between parcels, shared parking and utility use, and coordinated maintenance responsibilities. They also ensure that costs associated with common improvements, including the storm drainage basin located on Parcel 3, are equitably shared among the benefiting parcels . Together, these documents are necessary to ensure the long-term functionality, maintenance, and integration of the commercial development.

The Final Parcel Map has been reviewed by City staff and found to be in substantial conformance with the approved entitlements and conditions of approval. All requirements for approval and recordation of the subdivision have been satisfied.

III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

The Subdivider has provided the required improvement securities in accordance with City standards, which are sufficient to guarantee construction of all required improvements, as well as to cover inspection, engineering, and administrative costs. As a resu lt, there is no anticipated fiscal impact to the City related to construction of the improvements. Upon completion and acceptance of the public improvements, ongoing maintenance will be assumed by the appropriate City departments.

This will not require the use of 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 choose to approve the proposed Subdivision Improvement Agreement, CC&Rs, Reciprocal Easement Agreements, and Final Parcel Map as recommended by staff. Alternatively, the City Council could deny approval of the agreements and map; howev er, such action would prevent the project from proceeding and would not be consistent with previously approved entitlements for the site. The City Council may also continue the item to a future meeting to allow for additional review or to request modifications to the submitted documents, although staff has determined that the agreements are in a form acceptable to the City Attorney and comply with applicable City standards and requirements..

ITEM 7
VI. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

The project has been reviewed and coordinated with the Engineering, Community Development, and Public Works Departments. Following acceptance of the improvements, the Public Works Department will assume responsibility for maintenance of public infrastructure.

VII. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:

N/A
VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

All required environmental review for the project has been completed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

IX. STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

Following City Council approval, the Subdivision Improvement Agreement, CC&Rs, and Reciprocal Easement Agreements will be executed and recorded concurrently with the Final Parcel Map through the Stanislaus County Recorder’s Office. The project will then proceed with construction of improvements in accordance with the approved plans and conditions of approval.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

Waiver of Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance No. 2026- XXXX, Approving the Pre -Zoning for the Copper Trails Specific Plan Area and Pocket Area Located within Unincorporated Stanislaus County , and Amending the City’s Zoning Map
Accordingly
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions regarding the Copper Trails Specific Plan and Annexation Project:

Conduct a second reading by title only and adopt an Ordinance approving the Pre-Zoning for the Copper Trails Specific Plan Area and Pocket Area located within unincorporated Stanislaus County, and amending the City’s Zoning Map accordingly.

I. BACKGROUND:

Summary of Prior Action:

On April 13, 2025, the City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing and introduced Ordinance No. 2026 -XXXX approving the Pre -Zoning for the Copper Trails Specific Plan Area and Pocket Area. In addition to this Ordinance, the Council certified an Environmental Impact Report (Resolution No. 2026 -32), approved a General Plan Amendment (Resolution No. 2026-33), approved a Specific Plan with associated Public Facilities Financing Plan (Resolution No. 2026-34), and approved a resolution authorizing staff to make and execute any and all necessary documents and applications to the Stanislaus County Local Agency Formation Commission for Annexation of the Copper Trails Specific Plan Area and Pocket Area (Resolution No. 2026-35).

Purpose of the Second Reading:

The purpose of this item is to complete the adoption process for the Pre-Zoning Ordinance in accordance with California Zoning Law. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 36934, an ordinance must be introduced at a first reading and adopted at a ITEM 8
second reading prior to becoming effective. This second reading was appropriately noticed with the first reading on March 25, 2026.

Project Description:

The proposed project is located along the southern edge of the City of Ceres in unincorporated Stanislaus County, west of State Route 99 and primarily south of Service Road. It consists of 681-acre Project Area that is comprised of two smaller geographic areas; the Copper Trails Specific Plan (CTSP) area and the Pocket Area. The Project Area is within the City’s Sphere of Influence and the General Plan acknowledges this as an area for future City expansion by establishing preliminary land use designations within it.

In February 2023, in response to a request from a property owner in the CTSP area, the City initiated a formal process to prepare a Specific Plan, Public Facilities Financing Plan, and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed project. In September 27, 2023, the City issued a Notice of Preparation for an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and the Planning Commission held a public scoping meeting in October 2023 to receive comments regarding the scope of the environmental analysis.

Shortly thereafter, a Specific Plan and EIR were prepared, along with several supporting technical studies including a Public Facilities Financing Plan, Fiscal Impact Analysis, Utility Master Plans, Traffic Impact Analysis, and other analyses needed for the EIR. In December 2024, a draft Specific Plan and EIR were released for public review over a 45- day comment period. After receiving public comments, responses to each were prepared and incorporated into a Final EIR, which was released in February 2026 for public review.

On March 2, 2026, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the proposed project. After receiving a presentation from staff and hearing comments and testimony from the public, the Planning Commission deliberated and voted unanimously 4-0 (one Commissioner absent) to recommend that the C ity Council approve the proposed project.

As noted above, the other components of the project were approved by City Council on April 13, 2026. The Council heard the first reading of Ordinance No. 2026-XXXX and is now conducting the second reading in title only to approve the Pre -Zoning designations for the 681 acres that make up the Copper Trails Specific Plan Area and Pocket Area.

With this Pre -Zoning process, the city is assigning zoning districts to prop erties that currently do not have city zoning designations as they are outside the City limits and will be within city limits upon annexation. The pre -zoning designations are consistent with the General Plan land uses assigned by the General Plan Resoluti on adopted on April 13, 2026. Even though the property covered by this Pre -Zoning are not part of the City, their pre-zoning is a requirement of the annexation process under California law.

PRE-ZONING & ZONING MAP AMENDMENT SUMMARY
Existing and Proposed Zoning Districts
Existing zoning districts in the Project Area, as depicted on the Stanislaus County Zoning Map, consist of a mixture of Rural Residential, Multiple Family, Medium Density Residential, General Commercial, Industrial, General Agriculture 10 Acre Urban ITEM 8
Transition, General Agriculture 40 Acre, and Highway Frontage. These zoning districts are reflective of existing uses in the Project Area.

The proposed pre-zoning of the Project Area would allow all properties in the annexation area to establish new zoning districts that align with the districts and definitions contained in the City’s Zoning Ordinance. See Figure 1 below for location of zoning districts and Table 1 below for zoning acreage summary.

Figure 1: Proposed Pre-Zoning and Zoning Map Amendment

Table 1: Pre-Zoning District Summary

ITEM 8
In the 146 -acre Pocket Area, new zoning districts would consist of a mixture of Single - Family Residential (R -1), Medium Density Residential (R -3), Medium -High Density Residential (R-4), Neighborhood Commercial (C -1), Community Commercial (C -2), and Light Industrial (M -1) uses, which would be applied to properties consistent with their existing uses.

In the 535 -acre CTSP area, the Planned Community (P -C) zoning district would be applied to all properties irrespective of their existing use. As outlined in Chapter 18.13 of the Ceres Municipal Code, the purpose of the P -C zone district is to allow projects such as Copper Trails to be master-planned and to allow variations to the Zoning Ordinance’s typical standards. The intent is to custom -tailor the development plan’s regulatory structure in a manner that achieves the community vision and results in a built environment that is superior to what could be created under the application of the Zoning Ordinance’s typical regulations. As such, the CTSP functions as the Plan Area’s primary implementation and regulatory tool.

Upon annexation of the Project Area to the City of Ceres, the pre-zoning would take effect and the City’s Zoning Map would be amended to reflect the new zoning districts shown in Figure 1 above.

Analysis of Pre-Zoning and Zoning Map Amendment
The proposed pre -zoning and Zoning Map amendment have been evaluated for consistency with the City’s Zoning Ordinance, as discussed below:
• Zoning Ordinance Section 18.05.100 (Zoning Annexed Areas) . This section establishes the requirements for zoning for areas to be annexed into the City. It includes a process to pre -zone the properties in an unincorporated area with a zone classification that is consistent with the General Plan land use designation.

Analysis: The proposed zoning districts for both the Pocket Area and the CTSP area, as described above and shown on the Pre -zoning exhibit, are consistent with the proposed General Plan land use designations as required by the City’s Zoning Ordinance.
• Zoning Ordinance Chapter 32 (Amendments) . This chapter establishes the requirements and procedures to amend the City’s Zoning Ordinance and/or Zoning Map. It recognizes that through implementation of the City’s General Plan, the need may arise to make changes in zoning boundaries and other regulations in the title. It further indicates that the Zoning Ordinance may be amended whenever the City Council deems that such amendment is required for the general health, safety, and welfare of the City of Ceres. Amendments include any measures to change zone boundaries, establish or disestablish zones, to change zone regulations, and to add, repeal or amend any other provisions of this title. It also establishes a public process, through hearings with both the Pl anning Commission and City Council, for which amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and/or Zoning Map are required to follow.

Analysis: The proposed project includes a General Plan Amendment and a Specific Plan that have land use designations and zoning districts that must remain internally consistent with one another. Part of this consistency is to establish zoning districts for the Project Area that align with the land uses in the General Plan and CTSP. The proposed zoning districts for both the Pocket Area and the CTSP area, as described ITEM 8
above and shown on the Pre-zoning exhibit, are consistent with the proposed General Plan land use designations, as amended herein. Additionally, by holding public hearings with both the Planning Commission and City Council, the process to amend the Zoning Map is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 32 of the Zoning Ordinance.

Based on the analysis in this staff report, the following findings can be made:

1. The proposed pre-zoning and amendment to the Zoning Map for the Project Area are consistent with the purpose and intent of the applicable goals and policies of the City of Ceres General Plan and the Copper Trails Specific Plan;

2. The proposed pre-zoning and amendment to the Zoning Map for the Project Area will have no adverse effect on properties under the City's jurisdiction; and

3. This proposed project was reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Based on the analysis and findings above, staff recommends that the City Council approve the proposed Pre-zoning for the Project Area and amend the City’s Zoning Map accordingly once annexation is complete.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The proposed project has been found to be consistent with the City’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, and the Environmental Impact Report has been found to be prepared in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act.

III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

Full implementation of the proposed project would result in a positive fiscal effect to the City, as outlined in the Public Facilities Financing Plan attached to this staff report and as demonstrated in the Fiscal Impact Analysis on file with the City.

IV. EXISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:

N/A
V. POLICY ALTERNATIVES:

N/A
VI. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

Preparation, review and processing of the proposed project included the participation of multiple departments. The effort was lead by the Community Development Department, with assistance from the Engineering, Public Works, Finance, Fire, and Police departments.

ITEM 8
VII. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:

The City’s review and processing of the Copper Trails Specific Plan and related project entitlements occurred over several years, commencing in 2023. The key milestones of the City’s review process, including opportunities for public input, are summarized below:
• Project Application: In February 2023, the City initiated a formal process to prepare a Specific Plan, Public Facilities Financing Plan, and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed project based on a request from the project proponent and applicant. • Notice of Preparation (NOP): On September 27, 2023, the City issued a NOP for an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), which was circulated for a 30 -day public review period as required by CEQA.
• Scoping Meeting : On October 16, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public scoping meeting to receive comments regarding the scope of the environmental analysis to be evaluated in the Draft EIR.
• Notice of Availability for Draft EIR & Specific Plan : On December 12, 2024, the City issued a Notice of Availability and opened a 45 -day public comment period for the Draft EIR, which ended on January 27, 2025.
• Notice of Public Hearing : On February 6, 2026, the City issued a Notice of Public Hearing indicating that the Planning Commission would consider the Copper Trails Specific Plan and Annexation Project at a public hearing on March 2, 2026. • Planning Commission Public Hearing : On March 2, 2026 the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on all components of the project and there was opportunity for public comment on the project.
• City Council Public Hearing : On April 13, 2026, the City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing on all components of the project and there was opportunity for public comment on the project.

VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Environmental Impact Report (SCH #2023090637)
Acting as “Lead Agency” to evaluate the proposed project as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the City determined that an EIR was required for the Copper Trails Specific Plan and Annexation project . On September 27, 2023, the City released a Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the Copper Trails Specific Plan (CTSP) and Annexation Project (Project), which was circulated to the State Clearinghouse, Responsible Agencies, Trustee Agencies, other public age ncies, and interested parties around the project site. On October 16, 2023, a public scoping meeting was held with the Planning Commission to provide an overview of the Project and to receive public comments regarding the scope of the environmental analysis to be included in the Draft EIR. The NOP comment period closed on October 26, 2023 and seven comment letters were received. Comments focused on topics including cultural and tribal resources, utilities and energy, agricultural resources, public services, stormwater quality, and biological resources. These comments are summarized in the EIR and each comment raised was addressed in the EIR’s analysis.

Subsequently, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared to evaluate the proposed project and to determine what impacts could result if approved. Its purpose is ITEM 8
to document existing environmental conditions in the Project Area, describe the potential environmental effects of approving and implementing a project, consider and recommend mitigation measures that could avoid or substantially reduce any identified sign ificant environmental effects, analyze alternatives to a proposed project, and meet other applicable CEQA requirements. The EIR has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines.

The EIR was certified by the City Council on April 13, 2026 by Resolution No. 2026 -32.

In addition to certifying the E IR, the Council adopted a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program as well as made finding of overriding considerations for significant and unavoidable impacts.

The EIR and associated documents are available on the City’s web site via this link:
https://www.ceres.gov/1798/Copper-Trails-Specific-Plan
IX. STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

Following this second reading of the Ordinance for Pre -Zoning of the Specific Plan Area an Pocket Area, the following steps would occur:

1. Staff would prepare and file an Annexation application with LAFCO to annex the Project Area into the City;

2. Upon completion of the annexation, staff would amend the City’s General Plan Land Use Diagram to show that the Project Area is included in the City’s jurisdiction and would update the official land use designations consistent with those shown in the CTSP and existing uses in the Pocket Area;

3. Upon completion of the annexation, staff would modify the City’s Zoning Map to officially change the zoning districts in the Project Area to align with the approved pre- zoning designations; and

4. Staff would process development applications received for properties located in the Project Area.
