Contact: Michael Beltran, City Engineer, [email protected] Subject: Resolution - Approving a Professional Services Agreement with Musco Sports Lighting, LLC for the George Costa Fields Lighting Enhancement Project in the Amount of $248,552.84, Approving a 10% Construction Contingency in the Amount of $24,855.28, Approving a Budget Amendment in the Total Amount of
$273,408.12 from Fund 679, and Authorizing the Interim City Manager to Execute the Professional Services Agreement
Recommended Council Action:

Staff recommends that the City Council Approve a Professional Services Agreement with Musco Sports Lighting, LLC for the George Costa Fields Lighting Enhancement Project in the amount of $248,552.84, approve a 10% Construction Contingency in the amount of $24,855.28, approve a Budget Amendment in the amount of $273,408.12 funded by Fund 679, and authorize the Interim City Manager to execute the Professional Services Agreement.

Background:

George Costa Fields, located within Smyrna Park, is the City's premier baseball and softball complex and serves thousands of youth athletes, families, recreational leagues, tournament participants, and spectators annually. Maintaining high-quality recreational facilities remains a priority for the City and supports youth athletics, community recreation, and regional tournament play.

In 2025, the City Council approved the replacement of the existing metal halide sports lighting system with new energy-efficient LED lighting. The project modernized the City's lighting system by improving reliability, reducing maintenance requirements, and lowering energy consumption while enhancing the overall playing experience. The

original project also received a $69,546 energy efficiency grant from the Turlock Irrigation District (TID).

Following completion of the lighting improvements and several months of field use, staff evaluated the performance of the new lighting system and received feedback regarding lighting uniformity in certain areas of Fields 1 and 2. Staff reviewed field conditions during actual play and determined there were opportunities to further improve lighting performance.

Recognizing the importance of providing the highest quality recreational facilities possible, staff sought an independent evaluation from Musco Sports Lighting, LLC, an internationally recognized leader in sports lighting design, engineering, and photometric analysis. Musco evaluated the existing installation and developed several alternatives for improving field lighting while maximizing the City's previous investment.

Following that evaluation, staff determined the recommended lighting enhancement solution represents the most practical and cost-effective approach. The proposed project utilizes Musco's Light-Structure System™ retrofit with Total Light Control (TLC) for LED™ technology, providing factory-aimed luminaires specifically engineered for George Costa Fields while utilizing the existing lighting poles and infrastructure. The proposed system includes BallTracker® technology, guaranteed lighting performance, and a 25-year parts and onsite labor warranty.

The engineered design provides guaranteed average maintained illumination levels of approximately 50 footcandles in the infield and 30 footcandles in the outfield with improved lighting uniformity on both Fields 1 and 2.

An additional benefit of the project is the reuse of the existing LED fixtures removed from Fields 1 and 2. Those fixtures will be relocated and installed on Field 3, allowing the City to improve lighting on three baseball fields while maximizing the value of the City's previous investment.

Staff believes this project represents a practical, fiscally responsible, and long-term solution for improving lighting throughout the George Costa Fields complex.

Procurement Evaluation
Following its evaluation of the lighting conditions at George Costa Fields, staff requested that Musco Sports Lighting, LLC develop an engineered lighting solution for Fields 1 and 2. Musco prepared a site-specific photometric design using its proprietary Light-Structure System™ retrofit with Total Light Control - TLC for LED™ technology and BallTracker® luminaires.

The proposed system includes 38 factory-aimed luminaires mounted on the 10 existing poles, testing and final aiming, guaranteed lighting performance, turnkey installation, and a 25-year warranty covering materials and onsite labor. The engineered design guarantees average maintained light levels of 50 footcandles for the infields and 30

footcandles for the outfields, together with maximum-to-minimum uniformity ratios of 2:1 and 2.5:1, respectively.

Staff recommends the Musco solution because it provides an integrated, manufacturerengineered system under which Musco is responsible for the lighting design, proprietary luminaires, factory aiming, installation, testing, guaranteed photometric performance, warranty administration, and long-term support. This single-source responsibility is particularly important because the purpose of the Project is to achieve defined lighting levels and uniformity standards and to provide the City with one responsible party if those standards are not achieved.

Musco’s Total Light Control—TLC for LED™, BallTracker® technology, factory aiming process, photometric performance guarantee, and associated 25-year product assurance and onsite labor warranty are proprietary to Musco. Staff has determined that the complete integrated system, including these proprietary components, performance guarantees, and warranty protections, is available only from Musco Sports Lighting, LLC.

Based on these considerations, staff recommends that the City Council find that specifying Musco’s proprietary integrated lighting system is justified pursuant to Public Contract Code section 3400 because the necessary integrated equipment, engineered performance guarantee, and manufacturer-backed warranty are available from only one source.

Reasons for Recommendation:

The proposed Professional Services Agreement will provide significant benefits to the City and the users of George Costa Fields.

The project will
• Improve lighting uniformity on Fields 1 and 2.
• Enhance player safety and field visibility.
• Improve the playing experience for youth baseball, softball, recreational leagues, and tournament play.
• Reuse existing LED fixtures to improve lighting on Field 3. Maximize the City's previous investment by utilizing existing infrastructure and lighting equipment. • Continue reducing long-term maintenance requirements through modern LED lighting technology.
• Preserve the City's previously awarded Turlock Irrigation District energy efficiency grant.

Staff believes the proposed project represents the most cost-effective solution identified during the evaluation process while providing improvements to three baseball fields.

The proposed Musco system provides the City with a single point of responsibility for the engineered lighting design, proprietary equipment, factory aiming, installation, testing, guaranteed lighting performance, warranty administration, and long-term support. This structure reduces the risk of divided responsibility among a lighting designer, equipment manufacturer, installer, and warranty provider.

Musco’s design was developed specifically for Fields 1 and 2 and guarantees average maintained infield and outfield lighting levels and uniformity standards. Musco will also provide a 25-year warranty covering materials and onsite labor. These performance and warranty commitments are integral to the proposed system and are not separable from Musco’s proprietary equipment, engineering, and installation process.

Fiscal Impacts:

Musco Sports Lighting has submitted a proposal for the George Costa Fields Lighting Enhancement Project consisting of the installation of a new Light-Structure System™ retrofit with Total Light Control (TLC) for LED™ technology on Fields 1 and 2. The proposal includes materials delivered to the project site together with turnkey installation.

The project costs are summarized below:

Description Amount
Professional Services
Agreement
$248,552.84
10% Construction
Contingency
$24,855.28
Total Project Authorization $273,408.12
The proposed Professional Services Agreement includes the installation of Musco's engineered lighting system on Fields 1 and 2. The recommended construction contingency will provide funding for unforeseen conditions that may arise during implementation of the project, including field adjustments and other construction-related items.

Staff recommends approval of a budget amendment in the amount of $273,408.12 to Fund 679, Account No. 67995.800500 (PRK 2301) to fully fund the George Costa Fields

Lighting Enhancement Project.

The Facilities Internal Service Fund is used to account for resources designated to support the maintenance, repair, replacement, and improvement of City-owned buildings and facilities. Sufficient funding is available in Fund 679 to support the proposed lighting improvements at George Costa Fields. The recommended budget amendment will appropriate $273,408.12 from the Facilities Internal Service Fund for the Project.

The City previously received a $69,546.00 energy efficiency grant from the Turlock Irrigation District (TID) for the original George Costa Fields lighting improvements.

Following discussions regarding the proposed lighting enhancements, TID confirmed that the City may retain the full grant award even though the revised lighting system results in an increase in connected lighting load compared to the original project.

Retaining the grant funding represents a significant financial benefit while allowing the City to implement the recommended lighting enhancements.

The proposed project also maximizes the City's previous investment by relocating and reusing the existing LED fixtures removed from Fields 1 and 2 to improve lighting on Field 3, providing lighting enhancements on three baseball fields through a single project. There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund with the approval of this item.

Existing Policy / Relationship to the Strategic Plan:

The proposed project supports the City's Strategic Plan by advancing the following goals:

Infrastructure
Maintain and improve public infrastructure that supports community needs, enhances quality of life, and provides long-term value to residents.

Livable Community
Provide safe, attractive, and high-quality recreational facilities that encourage community participation, youth athletics, and healthy lifestyles.

Policy Alternatives:

The City Council could choose not to approve the proposed Professional Services Agreement.

Should the Council choose this alternative, the recommended lighting enhancements would not be completed, lighting improvements on Fields 1 and 2 would not be realized,

and the opportunity to improve Field 3 through the reuse of existing lighting equipment would be deferred.

Interdepartmental Coordination
Engineering, Finance, and the interim City Manager have coordinated on the development of this project and the proposed funding strategy.

Public Participation:

George Costa Fields is one of the City's most actively used recreational facilities and serves youth sports organizations, recreational leagues, tournament organizers, and the general public. Following completion of the original lighting project, staff received feedback regarding lighting performance and incorporated that feedback into its evaluation of potential improvements. The proposed project reflects the City's commitment to continuous improvement of public facilities and responsiveness to community input.

Environmental Review:

The proposed lighting enhancements are categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Steps Following Approval:

Upon approval by the City Council, the Interim City Manager will execute the Professional Services Agreement with Musco Sports Lighting, LLC.

Engineering staff will coordinate project scheduling with Musco Sports Lighting, Parks and Recreation, Public Works, and CYB to minimize impacts to field availability during construction.

Upon completion of the lighting enhancements on Fields 1 and 2, staff will oversee the relocation and installation of the existing LED fixtures on Field 3. Following project completion, staff will verify lighting performance, complete project closeout, and reconcile project costs. Any savings realized through donated labor, donated equipment, or other project efficiencies will reduce the final project cost.

Upon the conclusion of the Term or in the event of Termination of this Agreement, Professional agrees, at its expense and in a timely manner, to return to City all documents, drawings, photographs and other written or graphic material, however produced, that it received from City, its contractors, or agents, in connection with the performance of its Services under this Agreement. All materials shall be returned in the same condition as received.

Section 16. Assignment Prohibited. No Party to this Agreement may assign any right or obligation pursuant to this Agreement. Any attempt or purported assignment of any right or obligation pursuant to this Agreement shall be void and of no effect.

Section 17. Excusable Delays; Notice to Other Party of Delay. Professional shall not be in breach of this Agreement in the event that performance of Services is temporarily interrupted or discontinued due to a “Force Majeure” event which is defined as: riots, wars, sabotage, civil disturbances, insurrections, explosion, natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, landslides, fires, strikes, lockouts and other labor disturbances or other catastrophic events, which are beyond the reasonable control of Professional. Force Majeure does not include: (a) Professional’s financial inability to perform; (b) Professional’s failure to obtain any necessary permits or licenses from other governmental agencies; or (c) Professional’s failure to obtain the right to use the facilities of any public utility where such failure is due solely to the acts or omissions of the Professional.

Section 18. Suspension of Services by City. City reserves the right to suspend Professional's Services under this Agreement when City determines that it is necessary to do so. When possible, City shall give Professional notice of such suspension and Professional shall, upon receipt of said notice, suspend all Services except any Services, the completion of which is authorized by the notice given by City. If the Services are suspended by City for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, for reasons other than the fault of the Professional, the Professional shall be compensated for Services performed prior to notice of such suspension. When the Project is resumed, the Professional's compensation shall be equitably adjusted by City to provide for expenses incurred by the interruption of the Services. In this regard, Professional shall furnish to City such financial information that, in the judgment of the City Manager, is necessary to determine the reasonable value of the Services rendered by Professional during the period when Services were suspended.

Section 19. Termination of Work by City for Its Convenience. City shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time for its convenience by giving notice of such termination to Professional (“Termination”). In the event City shall give such notice of termination, Professional shall cease rendering Services upon receipt of said notice given as required in this Agreement. If City terminates this Agreement:
(a) Professional shall deliver copies of all Products prepared by it pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) If City terminates this Agreement for convenience before City issues the Notice to Proceed to Professional or before Professional commences any Services hereunder, whichever last occurs, City shall not be obligated to make any payment to Professional. If City terminates this Agreement after City has issued the Notice to Proceed to Professional and after Professional has commenced performance under this Agreement, City shall pay Professional the reasonable value of the Services rendered by Professional pursuant to this Agreement prior to termination of this Agreement. City shall not in any manner be liable for Professional's actual or projected lost profits had Professional completed the Services. Professional shall furnish to City such financial information that, in the judgment of the City Manager, is necessary to determine the reasonable value of the Services rendered by Professional prior to termination. (c) Except as provided in this Agreement, in no event shall City be liable for costs incurred by or on behalf of Professional after the date of the notice of termination. (d) Notwithstanding this Section, this Agreement may be terminated by City for cause based on the loss or suspension of any licenses, permits or registrations required for the continued provision of the Services, or Professional’s malfeasance. Termination of the Agreement for cause as set forth in this Section shall relieve City from compensating Professional.

Section 20. Assurance of Performance. If, at any time, City believes Professional may not be adequately performing its obligations under this Agreement or may fail to complete the Services as required by this Agreement, City may submit a written request to Professional for written assurances of performance and a plan to correct observed deficiencies in Professional's performance. Failure to provide written assurances subsequent to such written request, constitutes grounds to declare a breach under this Agreement.

Section 21. Cancellation for Breach by Either Party. Should either Party fail to substantially perform its obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the other Party shall thereupon have the right to cancel the Agreement by giving written notice and specifying the effective date of such cancellation. If City cancels this Agreement for breach and it is subsequently determined that Professional did not fail to substantially perform its obligations in accordance with this Agreement, then cancellation for breach by City shall be deemed, and treated, as termination for convenience.

Neither Party waives the right to recover damages against the other for breach of this Agreement, including any amount necessary to compensate City for all detriment proximately

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
City of Ceres and Musco Sports Lighting

caused by Professional's failure to perform its obligations hereunder or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. City reserves the right to offset such damages against any payments owed to Professional.

City shall not in any manner be liable for Professional's actual or projected lost profits had Professional completed the Services required by this Agreement.

Section 22. Arbitration of Disputes. All claims, disputes and other matters in question between City and Professional arising out of, or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof, including claims of Professional for extra compensation for Services related to the Project, shall be decided by arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with the provisions of Sections 1281 to 1284.2 of the California Code of Civil Procedure (the “Arbitration Laws”) unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise. The provisions of Section 1283.05 of the Arbitration Laws apply to any arbitration proceeding except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The arbitrator shall have authority to decide all issues between the Parties including, but not limited to, claims for extras, delay and liquidated damages, if any, provided for in this Agreement, matters involving defects in the work product of the Professional, rights to payment, and whether the necessary procedures for arbitration have been followed. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Notice of the demand for arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other Party. The demand for arbitration shall be made within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute or other matter in question has arisen, and in no event shall it be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.

The Parties shall jointly appoint an arbitrator within fifteen (15) calendar days of the date of giving the notice of the demand for arbitration. If the Parties are unable to jointly agree upon the appointment of an arbitrator within said fifteen (15) calendar day period, and do not agree in writing to extend said period for a fixed period, then either Party may seek to have the arbitrator appointed by the Superior Court of Stanislaus County in accordance with the Arbitration Laws.

If any proceeding is brought to contest the right to arbitrate and it is determined that such right exists, the losing Party shall pay all costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the prevailing party.

In addition to the other rules of law which may be applicable to any arbitration hereunder, the following shall apply:
(a) Promptly upon the filing of the arbitration each Party shall be required to set forth in writing and to serve upon each other Party a detailed statement of its contentions of fact and law.
(b) All parties to the arbitration shall be entitled to the discovery procedures as provided in Section 1283.05 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
City of Ceres and Musco Sports Lighting

(c) The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted as expeditiously as possible consistent with affording reasonable discovery as provided herein. (d) These additional rules shall be implemented and applied by the arbitrator.

The costs of arbitration shall be borne by the Parties as determined by the arbitrator, but each Party shall bear its own attorney's fees associated with the dispute with the other Party and to the arbitration.

Section 23. Insurance Coverage. During the Term, the Professional shall maintain in full force and effect policies of insurance set forth herein, which shall be placed with insurers with a current A M Best’s rating of no less than A VII and will provide City with written proof of said insurance.

Professional shall maintain coverage as follows:

23.1. General Liability. Professional shall carry general liability insurance in the amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage.

23.2. Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer's Liability. Professional shall carry workers’ compensation insurance as required by the State of California under the Labor Code. Professional shall also carry employer’s liability insurance in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per accident, with a One Million Dollar ($1,000,000.00) policy limit for bodily injury by disease, and a One Million Dollar ($1,000,000.00) limit for each employee’s bodily injury by disease.

23.3. Errors and Omissions Liability. Professional shall carry errors and omissions liability insurance in the amount of no less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per claim or greater if appropriate for the Professional's profession. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. At the option of the City, either the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to the City, elected and appointed councils, commissions, directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives (“City’s Agents”); or the Professional shall provide a financial guarantee satisfactory to the City guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claims administration and defense expenses.

23.4. Commercial Automobile Liability. Professional shall carry commercial automobile liability insurance in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or greater per occurrence for owned, leased, hired, and borrowed automobiles.

23.5. Waiver of Subrogation. With the exception of errors and omissions liability insurance, Professional hereby agrees to waive subrogation which any insurer of Professional may acquire from Professional by virtue of the payment of any loss. The commercial general liability policy and workers’ compensation policy shall be endorsed to contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of City for all work performed by Professional, its agents, employees, independent

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
City of Ceres and Musco Sports Lighting

contractors, and subcontractors. Professional agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation.

Section 24. Additional Insurance Requirements. Within five (5) days of the commencement of the Term, Professional shall provide City with certificates of insurance for all of the policies required under this Agreement (“Certificates”), excluding the required workers’ compensation insurance. Such Certificates shall be kept current for the Term of the Agreement and Professional shall be responsible for providing updated copies and notifying City if a policy is cancelled, suspended, reduced, or voided. With the exception of the workers’ compensation and errors and omissions liability insurance, all of the insurance policies required in this Agreement shall:
(a) Provide that the policy will not be cancelled, allowed to expire, or materially reduced in coverage without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to City of such cancellation, expiration, or reduction and each policy shall be endorsed to state such; (b) Name City, and City’s Agents as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of Services, work, or operations performed by or on behalf of Professional; (c) Cover products and completed operations of Professional, premises owned, occupied, or used by the Professional, or automobiles owned, leased, or hired or borrowed by the Professional; contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to City; (d) Be primary with respect to any insurance or self-insurance programs covering City or City’s Agents and any insurance or self-insurance maintained by City or City’s Agents shall be in excess of Professional’s insurance and shall not contribute to it; (e) Contain standard separation of insured provisions; and (f) State that any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policy including breaches of warranties shall not affect the coverage provided to City.

Section 25. Indemnification by Professional. To the fullest extent permitted by law (including, without limitation, California Civil Code sections 2782 and 2782.8), Professional shall defend with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to City, indemnify and hold harmless the City and City’s Agents from and against any and all claims, loss, cost, damage, injury (including, without limitation, injury to or death of an employee of Professional or its subcontractors), expense and liability of every kind, nature and description that arise out of, pertain to or relate to acts or omissions of Professional, or any direct or indirect subcontractor, employee, contractor, representative or agent of Professional, or anyone that Professional controls (collectively “Liabilities”). Such obligations to defend, hold harmless and indemnify City and City’s Agents shall not apply to the extent that such Liabilities are caused in whole by the sole negligence, active negligence, or willful misconduct of City or City’s Agents, but shall apply to all other Liabilities.

With respect to third-party claims against the Professional, the Professional waives any and all rights of any type of express or implied indemnity against City and City’s Agents.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
City of Ceres and Musco Sports Lighting

Section 26. Liability of City. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall City be liable, regardless of whether any claim is based on contract or tort, for any special, consequential, indirect, or incidental damages, including, but not limited to, lost profits or revenue, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Services performed in connection with this Agreement.

Section 27. Independent Contractor. At all times during the Term, Professional shall be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall be wholly responsible for the manner in which Professional performs the Services required under this Agreement. Professional shall be liable for its acts and omissions and those of its employees, contractors, subcontractors, representatives, volunteers, and its agents. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating an employment, agency, or partnership relationship between City and Professional. City shall have the right to control Professional only insofar as the result of Professional’s Services rendered pursuant to this Agreement; however, City shall not have the right to control the means by which Professional accomplishes Services rendered pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 28. Professional Not Agent. Except as City may specify in writing, Professional shall have no authority, express or implied, to act on behalf of City in any capacity whatsoever as an agent. Professional shall have no authority, express or implied, pursuant to this Agreement to bind City to any obligation whatsoever.

Section 29. Payment of Taxes and Other Expenses. Payment of any taxes, including California sales and use taxes, levied upon this Agreement, the transaction, or the Services or goods delivered pursuant hereto, shall be the obligation of Professional.

Section 30. Notices. Any notice or communication required hereunder between City and Professional must be in writing, and may be given either personally, by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), or by Federal Express, UPS or other similar couriers providing overnight delivery. If personally delivered, a notice shall be deemed to have been given when delivered to the Party to whom it is addressed.

If given by Federal Express or similar courier, a notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given and received on the date delivered as shown on a receipt issued by the courier. Any Party hereto may at any time, by giving ten (10) days written notice to the other Party hereto, designate any other address in substitution of the address to which such notice or communication shall be given. Such notices or communications shall be given to the Parties at the addresses in this paragraph set forth below:

Javier Lopez, Mayor

Rosalinda L. Vierra, Dist. 2
Cerina Otero, Dist. 3
Daniel A. Martinez, Dist. 4
Meeting Date: July 27, 2026
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Steve Williams, Interim City Manager
Contact: Michael Beltran, City Engineer, [email protected] Subject: Resolution - Ordering the Levy and Collection of Special Taxes for Fiscal Year 2026/27 within the City of Ceres Community Facilities District No. 1 (Public Services)
Recommended Council Action:

Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-XXX ordering the levy and collection of special taxes for Fiscal Year 2026/27 within the City of Ceres Community Facilities District No. 1 (Public Services).

Background:

Community Facilities District No. 1 (CFD No. 1) was established pursuant to the MelloRoos Community Facilities Act of 1982 to provide a dedicated funding source for public services benefiting properties within the district. Revenues generated through CFD No. 1 support police protection services, fire protection and emergency medical response services, maintenance of parks, parkways, landscaping, and open spaces, as well as administrative expenses associated with operation of the district.

The special tax is levied in accordance with the Rate and Method of Apportionment approved at the time of district formation. The tax is not based on assessed property value, but rather is levied on taxable units located within the district.

The Rate and Method of Apportionment authorizes an annual adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers for the San Francisco-OaklandSan Jose metropolitan area, with the annual adjustment not to exceed four percent (4%).

For Fiscal Year 2025/26, the special tax rate was $363.20 per taxable unit. The annual average CPI for calendar year 2025 was 2.17785 percent. In accordance with the approved Rate and Method of Apportionment, staff is recommending an increase of

2.17785 percent for Fiscal Year 2026/27.

The proposed Fiscal Year 2026/27 special tax rate is $371.11 per taxable unit, representing an increase of $7.91 per taxable unit over the prior fiscal year. The district currently contains approximately 1,914 taxable units. The total levy for Fiscal Year 2026/27 is estimated to generate approximately $710,287.08 in revenue to support authorized district services.

The City of Ceres has determined and certifies that the special taxes are levied and collected in accordance with the provisions of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 and the approved Rate and Method of Apportionment for the district. The City further certifies that the levy complies with all applicable provisions of State law.

Reasons for Recommendation:

The annual levy is necessary to continue funding the public services authorized within CFD No. 1, including police protection, fire protection, emergency medical services, park maintenance, parkway maintenance, open space maintenance, and district administration.

Approval of the resolution will authorize Stanislaus County to place the special tax levy on the Fiscal Year 2026/27 property tax roll, ensuring the continued collection of revenues necessary to maintain service levels within the district.

Fiscal Impacts:

The proposed Fiscal Year 2026/27 special tax rate for Community Facilities District No. 1 is $371.11 per taxable unit, representing an increase of $7.91 per taxable unit, or 2.18 percent, over the Fiscal Year 2025/26 rate of $363.20 per taxable unit.

Previous Fiscal Year Rate: $363.20 per taxable unit
Proposed Fiscal Year 2026/27 Rate: $371.11 per taxable unit Dollar Increase: $7.91 per taxable unit
Percentage Increase: 2.17785%
Based on approximately 1,914 taxable units within Community Facilities District No. 1, the levy is expected to generate approximately $710,287.08 during Fiscal Year 2026/27.

These revenues are restricted to uses authorized by the district's Rate and Method of Apportionment and the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act and will be used to fund public safety services, park and open space maintenance, and district administration.

The levy does not require the use of General Fund revenues.

Existing Policy / Relationship to the Strategic Plan:

This recommendation supports the following City Council Strategic Plan Goals:

Goal 1 – Safe Community
CFD No. 1 revenues provide funding for police, fire, ambulance, and emergency response services that help protect the health, safety, and welfare of residents within the district.

Goal 3 – Livable Community
CFD No. 1 revenues support the maintenance of parks, parkways, landscaping, and open spaces that contribute to neighborhood quality, community aesthetics, and recreational opportunities.

Goal 5 – Organizational Effectiveness
The annual levy provides a stable and dedicated funding source for district services, reducing reliance on General Fund resources and promoting long-term fiscal sustainability.

Policy Alternatives:

Alternative 1 – Approve the Resolution (Recommended)
Approve Resolution No. 2026-XXX ordering the levy and collection of special taxes for Fiscal Year 2026/27 within Community Facilities District No. 1.

Alternative 2 – Deny the Resolution
If the City Council does not adopt the resolution, the Fiscal Year 2026/27 special tax levy will not be placed on the County tax roll. As a result, the City would forgo approximately $710,287.08 in annual revenue dedicated to police, fire,park maintenance, open space maintenance, and administrative services within the district.

Alternative funding sources, including General Fund reserves, may need to be identified to maintain current service levels.

Alternative 3 – Modify and Approve the Resolution as Amended The City Council may provide alternative direction and approve the resolution with modifications, provided such modifications remain consistent with the approved Rate and Method of Apportionment and applicable provisions of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act.

Interdepartmental Coordination
The Engineering Department coordinated with the Finance Department regarding preparation of the annual levy and tax roll submission.

Public Participation:

The annual levy is being processed in accordance with the procedures established for Community Facilities District No. 1 and the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982.

Environmental Review:

The proposed action is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(3) and 15378(b)(4), as it constitutes a fiscal activity that does not have the potential to result in either a direct physical change or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

Steps Following Approval:
• Submit the adopted resolution and levy information to the Stanislaus County Auditor-Controller for inclusion on the Fiscal Year 2026/27 property tax roll. • Coordinate with Stanislaus County to ensure the levy is properly applied to all taxable units within Community Facilities District No. 1. • Collect revenues through the annual property tax collection process. • Utilize collected revenues for authorized public services and administrative expenses within the district.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
City Council
Javier Lopez, Mayor
James Casey, Dist. 1
Rosalinda L. Vierra, Dist. 2
Cerina Otero, Dist. 3
Daniel A. Martinez, Dist. 4
Meeting Date: July 27, 2026
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Steve Williams, Interim City Manager
Contact: Michael Beltran, City Engineer, [email protected] Subject: Resolution - Ordering the Levy and Collection of Special Taxes for Fiscal Year 2026/27 within the City of Ceres Community Facilities District No. 2 (Public Services)
Recommended Council Action:

Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-XXX ordering the levy and collection of special taxes for Fiscal Year 2026/27 within the City of Ceres Community Facilities District No. 2 (Public Services).

Background:

Community Facilities District No. 2 (CFD No. 2) was established pursuant to the MelloRoos Community Facilities Act of 1982 to provide a dedicated funding source for public services benefiting properties within the district. Revenues generated through CFD No. 2 support police protection services, fire protection and emergency medical response services, maintenance of parks, parkways, landscaping, and open spaces, as well as administrative expenses associated with operation of the district.

The special tax is levied in accordance with the Rate and Method of Apportionment approved at the time of district formation. The tax is not based on assessed property value, but rather is levied on taxable units located within the district.

The Rate and Method of Apportionment authorizes an annual adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers for the San Francisco-OaklandSan Jose metropolitan area, with the annual adjustment not to exceed four percent (4%).

For Fiscal Year 2025/26, the special tax rate was $1,076.74 per taxable unit. The annual average CPI for calendar year 2025 was 2.17785 percent. In accordance with the approved Rate and Method of Apportionment, staff is recommending an increase of

2.17785 percent for Fiscal Year 2026/27.

The proposed Fiscal Year 2026/27 special tax rate is $1,100.19 per taxable unit, representing an increase of $23.45 per taxable unit over the prior fiscal year. The district currently contains approximately 128 taxable units. The total levy for Fiscal Year 2026/27 is estimated to generate approximately $140,823.04 in revenue to support authorized district services.

The City of Ceres has determined and certifies that the special taxes are levied and collected in accordance with the provisions of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 and the approved Rate and Method of Apportionment for the district. The City further certifies that the levy complies with all applicable provisions of State law.

Reasons for Recommendation:

The annual levy is necessary to continue funding the public services authorized within CFD No. 2, including police protection, fire protection, emergency medical services, park maintenance, parkway maintenance, open space maintenance, and district administration.

Approval of the resolution will authorize Stanislaus County to place the special tax levy on the Fiscal Year 2026/27 property tax roll, ensuring the continued collection of revenues necessary to maintain service levels within the district.

Fiscal Impacts:

The proposed Fiscal Year 2026/27 special tax rate for Community Facilities District No. 2 is $1,100.19 per taxable unit, representing an increase of $23.45 per taxable unit, or

2.17785 percent, over the Fiscal Year 2025/26 rate of $1,076.74 per taxable unit.

Previous Fiscal Year Rate: $1,076.74 per taxable unit
Proposed Fiscal Year 2026/27 Rate: $1,100.19 per taxable unit Dollar Increase: $23.45 per taxable unit
Percentage Increase: 2.17785%
Based on approximately 128 taxable units within Community Facilities District No. 2, the levy is expected to generate approximately $140,823.04 during Fiscal Year 2026/27.

These revenues are restricted to uses authorized by the district's Rate and Method of Apportionment and the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act and will be used to fund public safety services, park and open space maintenance, and district administration.

The levy does not require the use of General Fund revenues.

Existing Policy / Relationship to the Strategic Plan:

This recommendation supports the following City Council Strategic Plan Goals:

Goal 1 – Safe Community
CFD No. 2 revenues provide funding for police, fire, ambulance, and emergency response services that help protect the health, safety, and welfare of residents within the district.

Goal 3 – Livable Community
CFD No. 2 revenues support the maintenance of parks, parkways, landscaping, and open spaces that contribute to neighborhood quality, community aesthetics, and recreational opportunities.

Goal 5 – Organizational Effectiveness
The annual levy provides a stable and dedicated funding source for district services, reducing reliance on General Fund resources and promoting long-term fiscal sustainability.

Policy Alternatives:

Alternative 1 – Approve the Resolution (Recommended)
Approve Resolution No. 2026-___ ordering the levy and collection of special taxes for Fiscal Year 2026/27 within Community Facilities District No. 2.

Alternative 2 – Deny the Resolution
If the City Council does not adopt the resolution, the Fiscal Year 2026/27 special tax levy will not be placed on the County tax roll. As a result, the City would forgo approximately $140,823.04 in annual revenue dedicated to police, fire, ambulance, park maintenance, open space maintenance, and administrative services within the district.

Alternative funding sources, including General Fund reserves, may need to be identified to maintain current service levels.

Alternative 3 – Modify and Approve the Resolution as Amended The City Council may provide alternative direction and approve the resolution with modifications, provided such modifications remain consistent with the approved Rate and Method of Apportionment and applicable provisions of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act.

Interdepartmental Coordination
The Engineering Department coordinated with the Finance Department regarding preparation of the annual levy and tax roll submission.

Public Participation:

The annual levy is being processed in accordance with the procedures established for Community Facilities District No. 2 and the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982.

Environmental Review:

The proposed action is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(3) and 15378(b)(4), as it constitutes a fiscal activity that does not have the potential to result in either a direct physical change or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

Steps Following Approval:
• Submit the adopted resolution and levy information to the Stanislaus County Auditor-Controller for inclusion on the Fiscal Year 2026/27 property tax roll. • Coordinate with Stanislaus County to ensure the levy is properly applied to all taxable units within Community Facilities District No. 2. • Collect revenues through the annual property tax collection process. • Utilize collected revenues for authorized public services and administrative expenses within the district.

Subject: Resolution - Accepting Proposition 64 Grant Funds, Approving a Budget Amendment, and Authorizing the Interim City Manager to Execute the Grant Documents
Recommended Council Action:

Staff recommends that the City Council accept Proposition 64 Grant Funds and authorize the Interim City Manager to execute the Grant documents.

Background:

The State of California approved Proposition 64, the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act, which established funding opportunities for local agencies through various grant programs. These grant programs provide funding to support activities that promote public health and safety, youth prevention and intervention, environmental restoration, community engagement, and other eligible purposes authorized by the State.

The City has been notified that it has been awarded grant funding in the amount of $998,344 for the grant period of July 1, 2026, through December 31, 2031.

The funding will assist the City in supporting eligible programs and initiatives aimed at enhancing community safety, improving public health outcomes, and addressing impacts associated with cannabis legalization. Staff will continue to evaluate eligible uses of the funding to ensure the grant is utilized in a manner that best benefits the community and aligns with State guidelines.

Reasons for Recommendation:

The grant funds will be used to support the salary and benefits of one (1) full-time Code Enforcement Officer, as well as supplies, public agency subcontracts, equipment, travel,

and training.

Funding for this full-time position is provided entirely by grant revenue; therefore, the position is explicitly time-limited and scheduled to expire on December 31, 2031, unless alternative funding is secured.

Acceptance of the grant will allow the City to enhance services and programs without the use of General Fund resources. Staff has reviewed the grant requirements and determined that the proposed activities are consistent with City goals and the objectives of the grant program.

As a condition of receiving the grant award, the City must enter into a grant agreement with the State and comply with all reporting, auditing, and performance requirements.

Staff will be responsible for administering the grant and ensuring compliance with all applicable regulations and grant conditions.

Fiscal Impacts:

The City has been awarded grant funding in the amount of $998,344.00 to be allocated as follows:
• Salaries and Benefits — $654,262.00
• Training and Travel — $4,342.00
• Contracted Services — $102,000.00
• Materials and Supplies — $119,840.00
• Equipment/Fixed Assets — $117,900.00
Fund 215 — State Grants will be created to post and track financial activities related to the Prop 64 grant. Acceptance of this grant will not have a negative fiscal impact on the City’s operational costs and will allow the City to enhance services without the use of General Fund resources.

1) Project Need (8,073/8,400 DLD 3:30 on 3/30 characters; up to 3 pages) - 20%

1.1, 1.2, & 1.4): The legalization of adult use recreational cannabis is detrimentally impacting public safety in the City of Ceres. Illicit cannabis in Ceres’s commercial and residential areas is especially detrimental as demonstrated through three Public Safety Enforcement (PPA1) and Youth Prevention/Intervention (PPA3) needs.

Need 1: Inadequate Enforcement of Illicit Retail Cannabis Activity: Ceres, a rural/agricultural community with 49,305 residents across 9.5 sq. miles, has a local regulatory framework governing cannabis activity: Chapter 9.120 of the Ceres Municipal Code and Ordinances 2017-1043 and 2018-1045 allows cannabis businesses to operate only within designated commercial zones under strict permitting and compliance. Ceres has two licensed cannabis retailers under this framework, but cannabis availability extends beyond the regulated market.

The most pervasive is illicit cannabis sales at smoke shops that are not permitted to sell cannabis.

Illicit operations operate without oversight, increasing youth exposure and unsafe conditions (Kittelman, 2024). Seven smoke shops have been the subject of ongoing illegal cannabis complaints and THC product sales. Qualitative observations have seen illegal retailer operators coordinating to evade enforcement, including warning neighboring businesses of inspections and using off-site storage to conceal cannabis. In 2025, with limited staffing, the Ceres Police Department (CPD) identified 28 illegal retail violations and conducted 45 smoke shop inspections, netting 13 cannabis citations (CPD, n.d.). Between 4/2025 and 3/2026, the CA Dept of Tax and Fee Admin (CDTFA) found THC and cannabis-related products being sold unlawfully nine times (CPD, n.d.). CPD routinely receives citizen unlawful sales complaints at these locations, as well as from licensed retailers reporting unfair competition from noncompliant businesses. Cannabis-related complaints are increasing, rising 67% 2024 to 2025 (CPD, n.d.), most involving illegal drug sales, indicating a growing trend in illicit activity (CPD, n.d.). At present, there are 15 outstanding illegal cannabis sales complaints waiting to be investigated due to staffing limitations (CPD, n.d.). Staffing constraints resulted in 20% of 2025 cannabis-related complaints referred to allied agencies (CPD, n.d.). As of 3/2026, one of Ceres’ two licensed cannabis retailers is $501,000 behind in City tax payments. While Ceres coordinates with regional partners, it lacks sufficient personnel to actively participate in joint operations As a result, enforcement actions may be delayed or incomplete, reducing the overall effectiveness of coordinated efforts to disrupt illicit cannabis activity.

Need 2: Inadequate Enforcement of Illicit Cannabis Production: Ceres is located in the Central Valley, a region particularly vulnerable to illicit cannabis production given its agricultural landscape. Identified illegal cannabis grow operations in Ceres increased by 200% from 2023 to 2024 and remained elevated in 2025, indicating a sustained upward trend (CPD, n.d.). CPD enforcement operations in 2025 resulted in seizure and eradication of 3,000+ cannabis plants (CPD, n.d.), with a processed retail value of $5 million (CA Unified Cannabis Enforcement Taskforce valuation, n.d.). In 5/2025, a multi-agency operation across the Central Valley (Kern, Tulare and Kings counties) seized over 105,000 plants and 22,000 pounds of processed cannabis valued at $123.5 million, underscoring the issues’ regional nature (CA Dept. of Cannabis Control, 2025). Illegal cultivation operations have been identified within homes in Ceres, in some cases located just houses away from schools, requiring school lockdowns (CPD, n.d.). In 12/2025, a large-scale commercial THC extraction lab operating in Ceres was served with a cease-and-desist order from continued operation outside of established legal guidelines.

The business accumulated $1.75 million in outstanding balances owed to Ceres, failed multiple fire inspections and raised significant safety concerns. The operation was also investigated for alleged environmental violations, including the improper disposal of toxic chemicals.

Need 3: Risks of Youth Cannabis Use: According to CA Healthy Kids Survey most recent data, 14% of 11th grade Ceres Unified School District (CUSD) students reported past-month cannabis use, including 3% reporting use in 20–30 days, indicating sustained use among a subset of youth (KidsData, n.d.). Non-traditional student rates are significantly higher: 23% reporting past-month use and 13% reporting frequent use (KidsData, n.d.).

1.3): Ceres faces insufficient public safety staff for cannabis code enforcement and prevention education due to staffing limitations. The Code Enforcement Division of CPD (CPD CED) is responsible for enforcing public health, safety and quality-of-life issues, including blight abatement, illegal dumping, zoning and business municipal codes and cannabis. CED employs three Officers and one administrative staff to serve a growing city. The Division is also responsible for infrastructure and development oversight, including 11 public parks, a wastewater treatment system and expanding residential and commercial growth. With up to 10,000 new housing units and commercial projects anticipated, demand for enforcement will increase. Each CPD CED officer manages about 20 active cases, totaling more than 60 active cases. Staffing will soon decrease to one Code Enforcement Officer, as two will be laid off

ATTACHMENT C

1/2027, due to expiring federal ARPA funding. Insufficient personnel has significant negative ramifications: 1) Average response time for cannabis-related complaints is 30 days. Research indicates that the ability of illicit cannabis operations to remain undetected is a key factor contributing to their persistence and growth (Manu et al., 2021); 2) Staff must prioritize immediate quality-of-life concerns, limiting proactive, sustained enforcement, particularly for complex cannabis-related investigations; 3) Cannabis enforcement is budgeted for less than 10% of Code Enforcement workload despite need. This has resulted in cannabis enforcement response only, often delayed. The consequence is unresolved code enforcement and tax collection and growing availability of illicit cannabis. A further service gap exists for youth prevention and intervention programming. Ceres has limited capacity to provide consistent, cannabis-specific education or outreach to youth populations, with no dedicated youth-focused cannabis prevention programs, resulting in gaps in prevention and education aimed at targeting at-risk youth.

1.5) Project need was identified through CPD and regional law enforcement partner coordination, using enforcement data, complaint trends and operational challenges. Officers highlighted staffing gaps, delayed response times and reliance on external agencies.

Cannabis-related complaints submitted in the Stanislaus County Crime Stoppers platform reflect community illegal cannabis activity concerns, particularly for unlicensed retail sales.

Enforcement experiences and case investigations provided direct insight into illicit cannabis operations scale, organization and public safety risks. In a 2024 Ceres community survey, 84% prioritized hiring and retaining qualified police officers (which includes code enforcement) while 72% identified public safety as a very convincing reason to support local funding measures and 67% cited crime-related concerns as a priority (Ceres Survey, 2025). A 9/2025 Ceres Courier article detailed community complaints regarding smoke shops selling illegal cannabis products, reinforcing ongoing concerns about unregulated access points within the City (Benziger, 2025).

2) Project Description (13,816 of 14,000 characters, up to 5 pages DLD 3:30pm 3/30) - 40%

2.1) Ceres seeks to establish a Cannabis Enforcement Unit (CEU) to address the documented increase in illicit cannabis activity (retail & production) & youth prevention activities. The unit’s primary role will be to increase enforcement within the illicit & regulated cannabis industry, with a secondary role of youth education for cannabis use prevention. The CEU will increase local safety/enforcement/education capacity by hiring one full-time Cannabis Code Enforcement Officer (CCEO) and necessary equipment. The CCEO will be assigned specifically to cannabis-related enforcement & education, aligning with PPAs 1 & 3.

PPA1 activities will include identification, investigation & abatement of illegal cannabis operations, including unlicensed retail activity, residential cultivation & noncompliant commercial practices. PPA3 will include youth prevention activities. A dedicated CCEO directly addresses each of the identified needs. It provides consistent, increased enforcement of illicit retail cannabis operations & illicit cannabis production appropriate to the city & community & can provide youth education. The project will focus on four types of activities. 1) Unlicensed Retail Activity & Illegal Sales: Tobacco retailers & smoke shops will be the target of activities to prevent sales of illegal cannabis & THC-related products. To address this, the CEU will: Conduct 1-2 routine inspections of tobacco retailers & smoke shops monthly, focusing on identifying illegal cannabis products & verifying compliance to local/state laws; issue citations, notices of violation & initiate administrative enforcement; & coordinate targeted enforcement operations with CDTFA & law enforcement partners to identify high-risk businesses to disrupt illegal sales networks. These efforts will reduce the availability of unregulated cannabis products & limit youth access by targeting retail locations that operate outside of legal safeguards, including age-verification requirements; 2) Cultivation Enforcement: Illicit cannabis cultivation is occurring within residential, commercial & agricultural areas. The primary target of the CEU will be cultivation within residential areas, which presents direct safety risks, including fire hazards, hazardous materials & proximity to schools & families. To address this, the CEU will: Conduct bi-monthly proactive neighborhood-based inspections & complaint-driven investigations targeting suspected residential cultivation sites (6 annually total); issue abatement notices & coordinate enforcement actions to shut down grow operations, including collaboration with police personnel when safety risks are present; marijuana grow debris removal & cleanup; utility theft investigation &

ATTACHMENT C

reporting; nuisance property enforcement; & track/monitor repeat properties & high-risk locations, ensuring continued compliance through re-inspections. 3) Counter Organized & Evasive Cannabis Operations: Illicit cannabis activity in Ceres is increasingly organized, with operators utilizing coordinated retail networks, off-site storage & concealment strategies to evade detection & enforcement. To address this, the CEU will:

Conduct case development & investigative support activities to identify connections between illegal retail locations, cultivation sites & distribution networks; participate in & support 4-7 coordinated enforcement operations annually with regional partners, as appropriate, targeting complex illegal operations; lead or co-lead at least one cannabis-related investigation, increasing the City’s ability to independently address complex cases & reduce reliance on external agencies; & initiate participation in quarterly interagency coordination meetings (4 annually), including Stanislaus County Special Investigations Unit (SIU) meetings, to facilitate real-time information sharing and support joint enforcement efforts.
4) Youth Prevention Education: Ceres faces gaps in youth cannabis prevention/education, with limited structured outreach despite ongoing youth exposure. To address this, the CEU will:

Conduct biannual town halls on cannabis in the community; provide cannabis law & risks presentations at local schools, reaching estimated 5,000 youth. Topics: impaired driving (DUI); the effects of cannabis on youth development; risks associated with edibles and vapes; peer pressure; & the legal consequences of possession or distribution. While the primary project focus is enforcement under PPA 1, outreach & education components support the goals of PPA 3.

2.2) The project represents a critical step in transitioning Ceres from reactive enforcement to a proactive, coordinated & data-driven approach to illicit cannabis enforcement & youth prevention that aligns with the goals & intent of Prop 64 as well as PPA1 & 3. The goals & objectives align with the needs identified in Section 1, as they relate directly to increasing enforcement of illicit cannabis retail & production & youth cannabis prevention & will result in measurable improvements in Ceres’s ability to address illicit cannabis & improve public safety.

Please see the Work Plan for objectives and measurable outcomes presented separately.

Goal 1) Reduce illicit cannabis retail & production in Ceres. Objective 1.1: Increase the number of cannabis-related inspections conducted annually from 45 (2025 baseline) to 80 (78% increase). Objective 1.2: Increase the number of proactive enforcement operations annually to an

ATTACHMENT C

average of 12 per year. Objective 1.3: Increase the number of illegal cannabis operations identified & investigated from 4 (2025 baseline) to 6 annually.

Goal 2) Enhance effectiveness of multi-agency cannabis enforcement efforts. Objective 2.1:

Double CPD participation in coordinated enforcement operations with external agencies, as appropriate, from approximately 1–2 to 4-7 annually. Objective 2.2: Increase the proportion of cannabis cases in Ceres jurisdiction that are led by Ceres personnel from 30% to 65%. Objective

2.3: Improve coordination with allied agencies by initiating participation in quarterly interagency coordination meetings (4 annually).

Goal 3) Increase youth awareness of the harms of recreational cannabis use. Objective 3.1:

Provide cannabis education to 5,000 youth annually through school-based & community outreach activities. Objective 3.2: By Year 3 demonstrate increased youth understanding of the risks associated with cannabis use, as measured through pre- and post-assessments showing improved knowledge among participants. Objective 3.3: Develop and distribute approximately 2,500 educational materials annually focused on cannabis risks and legal awareness for youth.

2.3) Evidence-Based & Promising Practices: The primary approach for the project is the creation & use of a dedicated CEU. The CEU is designed to directly address the documented increase in illicit cannabis activity & associated public safety risks for the community and youth. The use of a CEU is grounded in recognized evidence-based policing & code enforcement models, particularly those that emphasize proactive, data-driven & problem-focused strategies.

Problem-oriented policing (POP), a leading proactive policing model, demonstrates that targeted interventions focused on specific problems & locations can result in significant reductions in crime & disorder & prevent recurrence (Hinkle et al., 2020). Enforcement focused on high-risk locations, repeat offenders & emerging trends are more effective in reducing criminal activity than reactive, complaint-based approaches (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, & Medicine, 2022; Ratcliffe, 2018). This is consistent with the project’s objectives of increasing the quantity of proactive investigations, inspections, & code-enforcement activity. Establishing a CEU also aligns with research demonstrating the effectiveness of targeted code enforcement as a public safety strategy, as proactive code enforcement interventions can contribute to measurable reductions in crime & disorder by addressing environmental conditions & illegal activities that contribute to unsafe conditions (Boehme et al., 2025). This is relevant in the context of illicit cannabis, which often involve unregulated products, unsafe electrical setups & organized

ATTACHMENT C

distribution networks. These conditions also increase the likelihood of youth exposure to unregulated cannabis products, with evidence highlighting the importance of education & public awareness strategies to reduce risks and inform behavior (El-Khatib et al., 2021).

Relevance to Local Conditions: This evidence-based approach & associated activities to be undertaken by the CEU is appropriate for Ceres & is directly relevant to local conditions.

Illicit Distribution Occurring in Retail Environments: CPD, Ceres businesses & residents have consistently identified illicit retail distribution as a concern & logged dozens of complaints.

Increasing the frequency & concentration of retail investigation & enforcement directly addresses this need. The strategy is consistent with POP and code enforcement practices, discussed in Evidence-Based practices previously.

Proximity of Illicit Cannabis Production to Residential Areas & Sensitive Locations:

Illegal cannabis cultivation presents public safety risks, especially residential grow sites located close to sensitive areas like schools. In many cases individuals engaged in illicit cultivation bypass electrical systems & illegally tap into power sources to avoid detection, which substantially increases the risk of fire within residential structures (Paris, 2020). These hazards place occupants & surrounding residents at risk. Fires associated with illegal cannabis cultivation have burned about 275,000 acres across CA. Cleanup per site costs about $40,000, excluding hazardous material disposal (NBC News, 2021). Of the four illegal cannabis grows identified & investigated by CPD in 2025, two were located within two houses of an elementary school, prompting school lockdown, heightening public safety concerns & community impact. Presence of cannabis-related activity near schools can increase visibility & normalization, influencing youth perceptions & awareness of cannabis (Firth, et al., 2022; Kittelman, et al., 2024).

Ceres Population at Increased Risk of Illicit Cannabis Use: Ceres qualifies as a Disadvantaged Community under SB 535 (CalEnviroScreen 4.0, CA Office of Environmental Health Hazard, n.d.). 65% of Ceres residents identify as Hispanic/Latino & almost 87% of CUSD students are classified as socioeconomically disadvantaged (CA School Dashboard, n.d.) (U.S. Census Bureau, 2024). National research shows that higher-frequency cannabis use is observed among youth, individuals from racial & ethnic minority populations & those with low socioeconomic status, patterns often associated with disparities in access to prevention & broader social determinants. (Jeffers et al., 2021; Montgomery et al., 2022). In California, 46% of

ATTACHMENT C

cannabis-related emergency department visits involve teens and young adults ages 15–30. (California Cannabis Surveillance System, 2022).

Public Safety Budget Challenges: Ceres’s ability to address these challenges is constrained by limited staffing & fiscal capacity of only three code enforcement officers, two of which slated for layoff on 12/2026 due to budget constraints. Ceres already has seven unfunded or vacant public safety positions (18% of CPD staff). In recent fiscal years, Ceres has relied on $1.1 million in one-time federal funding & $618,943 in reserves to address a $1.7 million budget shortfall & is projected to use $2 million in General Fund reserves to maintain core services. (Benziger, 2025). Efforts to secure other funding for public safety have failed. Ceres sought County Community Corrections Partnership funding ungranted due to county-wide budget constraints & limited funding for new initiatives.

2.4) Use of Existing Resources: The project will build upon Ceres’ existing enforcement infrastructure which is centered on a Code Enforcement Office with clear local rules for cannabis retail & cultivation (ie, zoning restrictions, permitting requirements, operational standards for cannabis businesses). The project will leverage this framework by focusing enforcement efforts on violations of permitting requirements; illegal operations occurring outside of permitted zones (e.g. residential grows); & noncompliant business practices. Inspections will be expanded into routine, proactive operations like direct education to business owners regarding Ceres’s regulatory cannabis retail rules, including permitting requirements & compliance expectations.

Ceres will leverage existing data systems & reporting mechanisms to support the project, such as: (a) tracking/analyzing cannabis-related complaints via Stanislaus County Crime Stoppers & internal City reporting systems, providing insight into trends, geographic hotspots & recurring violations to guide proactive enforcement strategies; (b) license plate readers (LPRs) to identify vehicles associated with suspected cannabis activity & in-car Mobile Data Terminals (MDTs) to access real-time information on individuals & vehicles connected to cultivation, sales, or transportation. Dedicated staff will enhance tracking, analysis, & follow-through, ensuring data is used effectively to inform enforcement actions.

Ceres coordinates with regional & federal law enforcement on cannabis violations, including the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office, allied narcotics units, DEA, Modesto &Turlock PDs & the Stanislaus County Probation Department for operational support, as needed. The

project will expand Ceres’s ability to engage in coordinated enforcement efforts, as Ceres will now have a dedicated CCEO that can spearhead such collaboration on cannabis enforcement.

3) Project Organizational Capacity and Coordination (5,572/5,600 characters, up to 2 pages AF 3:30 pm 3/30) - 15%

3.1) Required Staffing, Project Management & Oversight: Effort will be staffed with a CCEO (1.0 FTE) devoted to illicit cannabis enforcement activities to support public health and safety. Responsibilities include conducting inspections, responding to complaints and supporting illegal cannabis cultivation and operations case development. Officer, as needed, training in cannabis regulatory enforcement, investigative techniques and safety protocols. Special Operations Lieutenant Travis Hudson will supervise project at no cost to grant. He will work with CCEO on project goals, objectives and timelines; monitoring performance metrics; coordinating staff activities; grant compliance; department and partner communications. Lt.

Hudson brings 21+ years of law enforcement experience, including two leading CPD Code Enforcement. He has completed specialized training at the 2025 Code Enforcement Conference and collaborates with regional professionals on best practices. Lt. Hudson oversees multiple specialized units, demonstrating his capacity to manage complex operations and effective implementation. Additional Support: Financial oversight and grant administration will be supported by Ceres’s administrative and finance staff, who have demonstrated experience in budgeting, invoicing and compliance with reporting of state grants. This will be supplemented with external grant management to direct data collection and evaluation. Nine percent of the grant budget will be directed for data collection and grant management.

Use of Existing Infrastructure, Staffing & Resources: Ceres has the organizational infrastructure, staffing and experience to successfully integrate a Cannabis Enforcement Unit within Code Enforcement of CPD. The Division employs three Code Enforcement Officers (two scheduled for layoff, one of which will transition to position) and an administrative staff to enforce municipal codes. A dedicated CCEO will use a vehicle and necessary equipment, purchased with grant funds, designed for the tough terrain and protection to keep Officer from any cannabis contamination while leveraging established complaint intake systems, case tracking and interdepartmental coordination protocols, which will be expanded to support an increased volume of cannabis-specific enforcement.

Grant Administration Experience & Capacity: Ceres has demonstrated experience administering state-funded public safety and community-based grants of varying scale and complexity. Ceres is executing a $89,574 CA Dept of Justice Tobacco Grant (11/1/ 2024 - 6/30/2028) for tobacco

ATTACHMENT C

enforcement, regulatory initiatives and community education, including compliance checks, training and stakeholder engagement. It also is administering a 3-year, $1,084,600 CA Dept of Forestry and Fire Protection Urban and Community Forestry Grant (began in 2025), demonstrating capacity to manage large-scale, multi-year funding, It created a detailed “checks and balances” system with implementation frameworks, including detailed workplans, approval workflows requiring review of budgets/materials and monitoring tools to track field activities and performance. Process has ensured successful execution, compliance and outcomes.

3.2) The project will be implemented by Cere, with enforcement, inspections and case management handled by City personnel. Ceres will continue to coordinate with external law enforcement agencies. The dedicated CCEO will strengthen Ceres’s ability to initiate and lead enforcement while enhancing its capacity to contribute to regional enforcement efforts. Should the need for external services arise, Ceres will use its established procurement procedures consistent with state requirements.

3.3) Project Startup & Hiring Timeline: Ceres is well-positioned to begin project implementation upon award. Existing infrastructure and administrative systems are already in place, allowing Ceres to move efficiently into project startup and execution without delay. The CCEO positon will be filled by an existing Code Enforcement Officer currently funded through ARPA, allowing for immediate implementation of project activities, with full transition to grant funding beginning January 2027 upon expiration of ARPA funds. Project activities will be implemented directly by Ceres, with assistance by a data collection and grant management consultant.

Implementation Timeline: Cannabis Officer will receive training on the City’s cannabis regulatory framework, enforcement protocols, safety procedures and external agency coordination practices. Initial activities will include refining case tracking processes, identifying priority enforcement locations based on existing data and scheduling enforcement. Ongoing implementation will include: monthly proactive enforcement operations; continuous monitoring and analysis of complaint and enforcement data; education and outreach to businesses, schools, and community; external partner coordination. See the Project Work Plan (Section 2.2) for detailed activity timelines.

Readiness to Proceed: Ceres’s existing experience with cannabis enforcement, combined with established administrative systems & demonstrated grant management capacity, reflects readiness to proceed. Further personnel recruitment will be expedited as internal candidates

ATTACHMENT C

identified for budget-related layoffs can instead be retained and transitioned into this new role.

Ceres has successfully implemented similar enforcement and education efforts through prior grant-funded programs and has internal infrastructure to support immediate project launch. 4) Project Evaluation (5,589/5,600 characters, up to 2 pages) 15%

4.1) Evaluation Leadership & Staffing: Grant team – led by Lt. Hudson (at no cost to grant) & a new, dedicated CCEO - will evaluate the grant's progress, using program objectives, outcomes & activities mentioned in the attached Work Plan. Ceres will contract with an external consultant to assist with data collection & evaluation, who will be selected using a compliant RFP/solicitation process consistent with City processes. The team will meet prior to launch & monthly to discuss the program’s successes & failures, taking community input & modifying the program as needed.

Activities will be documented via a spreadsheet that is used specifically for progress & activity tracking. The spreadsheets will coincide with the quarterly report data required in the grant.

Internal & external training, inspections, compliance meetings & education discussions will provide the documentation of service delivery. The CCEO, working with grant management consultant, will be responsible for documentation maintenance. Throughout the grant, the dedicated Officer will participate in quarterly Stanislaus County Special Investigations Unit to measure the program’s success & make needed modifications. Each quarter, the data & feedback will be reviewed by staff in preparation for submission of quarterly reports. Evaluation will include a mixed approach of qualitative & quantitative data. Outcome & process measures are listed in the attached Work Plan along with the data sources used to measure them. Quantitative data will include internal & external training, inspections, compliance meetings & CA Healthy Kids survey results on marijuana usage harm & presentations. Feedback will be used to provide quarterly report contexts. Evaluation will include a Final Local Evaluation Report, which will inform program improvements after the grant expires & a Financial Audit.

4.2) Data Collection Methods: Ceres will collect both quantitative & qualitative data to measure project success & impact. Data collection will be integrated into existing City systems for consistency, efficiency, & accuracy. Key data sources will include:
- Code Enforcement records (inspections, citations, case tracking) - CPD reports (enforcement operations, seizures, investigations) - Complaint data (Crime Stoppers & internal reporting systems)

ATTACHMENT C

- Internal tracking systems used by CPD
- Data obtained through coordination with external agencies, as needed - CA Healthy Kids data
All project staff will be responsible for documenting activities in real time, ensuring accurate & timely data collection.

Performance Measurement & Outcomes Tracking: Ceres will track performance measures directly aligned with the goals & objectives outlined in the Work Plan (Section 2.2), including both process & outcome measures. Ceres will compare baseline data (pre-project conditions) to ongoing & end-of-project data to assess progress & overall effectiveness.

Key performance indicators will include:
- Number of cannabis-related inspections conducted
- Number of proactive enforcement operations conducted
- Number of illegal cannabis operations identified & investigated - Number of coordinated enforcement operations conducted with external agencies - Number and percent of cannabis cases handled internally by Ceres personnel - Participation in interagency coordination meetings
- Number of youth served through prevention programs
- Number of prevention materials distributed
Outcome measures will focus on:
- Increased enforcement activity related to illicit cannabis - Increased participation in coordinated multi-agency enforcement efforts - Increased capacity for Ceres personnel to lead cannabis-related cases - Reduced reliance on external agencies for primary enforcement - Improved coordination and information sharing with external partners - Change in knowledge of youth served by prevention programs &/or materials Data Sharing & Coordination: To support comprehensive evaluation, Ceres will coordinate with external agencies on an as-needed basis to obtain relevant data related to joint enforcement activities. These agencies are not formal partners under the grant, & data sharing will occur through existing working relationships rather than formal agreements unless required.

If necessary, Ceres will establish data-sharing protocols consistent with local, state, & federal requirements to ensure secure & timely exchange of information.

ATTACHMENT C

Use of Evaluation Findings: Evaluation findings will be used to inform ongoing project improvements & decision-making. Ceres will use collected data to: Identify trends & emerging issues; adjust enforcement strategies to improve effectiveness; strengthen internal coordination & resource allocation; enhance community education & compliance efforts; & ensure accountability & transparency in project implementation. Progress will be monitored by project staff monthly to identify timely challenges, maintain alignment with project goals, & support continuous improvement. Formal progress reporting will be conducted on a quarterly basis, ensuring that all required reports are comprehensive, accurate, & reflective of ongoing project activities & outcomes.

Salaries and Benefits Narrative: Provide a brief description for each position that addresses their role on the grant project.

A Police Officer will be assigned at 1.0 FTE (54 months during Yrs. 1–5) to serve as a dedicated cannabis code enforcement officer.

The starting base salary is $133,079.66, with a projected 4% average annual increase based on negotiated CPD salary schedule. The total salary over five years is $654,262. 10 percent of the salary has been moved to PPA3 grant funding, as the officer will be responsible for youth prevention education. The 54 month duration is based on a projected hiring date in Month 7 of the grant (Jan 1, 2027), corresponding with the completion of final grant planning/set up and the start of most project activities. This places the CCEU expense as occurring during Months 7-60 of the grant, for a 54 month expense.

The Police Officer (Cannabis Code Enforcement Officer) will be devoted to illicit cannabis enforcement activities to support public health and safety. Responsibilities include conducting inspections, responding to complaints, and supporting case development related to illegal cannabis cultivation and operations. The officer will carry out enforcement operations, gather evidence, and coordinate with relevant departments to address violations. This position will ensure consistent staffing capacity to reduce illegal cannabis activity and aligns with grant priorities focused on enforcement and community safety. 2a. Services and Supplies

Youth Cannabis Training Prevention Two 16 hour training sessions at $85, totaling $170.

TOTAL
6b. Other (Travel, Training, etc.) Narrative: Provide a brief explanation for how each item listed above will contribute toward fulfilling grant objectives. Please budget for at least one 2-day trip to Sacramento for 3-5 key grant team members.

The budget includes costs necessary to support professional development and certification requirements for participating staff. Individuals are required to maintain membership in the California Code Enforcement Officer Association (CACEO), which provides access to essential resources, training opportunities, and professional standards within the code enforcement field. Annual membership is $100 per participant, totaling $500 over the five-year project period. In addition to membership, participants must complete three required training modules offered through CACEO to ensure they meet industry standards and maintain up-to-date knowledge of code enforcement practices. Each module costs $550, for a total one-time training cost of $1,650 per participant. Combined, the total cost for CACEO membership and required training is $2,150 per participant over the course of the project. These costs are critical to ensuring that staff are properly trained, certified, and equipped to carry out their responsibilities effectively and in compliance with state and professional standards. Additionally, the budget includes travel costs for attendance at a required Grant Orientation in Sacramento, California during Year 1 of the project period. This three-day orientation will be attended by the Ceres Police Chief (no staff time charged to grant), Lt. Hudson (Supervisor, no staff time charged to grant), and the Cannabis Code Enforcement Officer to ensure a clear understanding of grant requirements, compliance standards, reporting expectations, and program implementation guidelines. The total cost per participant is $674, which includes mileage reimbursement ($116 per person, based on 160 miles round trip at $0.725 per mile), lodging ($300 per person for two nights at $150 per night), and per diem ($258 per person for three days at $86 per day). For three attendees, the total cost is $2,022. Participation in this orientation is critical to ensuring that key project personnel are aligned with program expectations and equipped to effectively implement grant-funded activities. This investment supports proper grant administration, coordination, and long-term project success. The Youth Cannabis Training Prevention is a one time training for two officers and may be recommended or required in the state of California by a judge, court, parole officer, probation officer, or a state, county, or city official, which includes two 16 hour training sessions at $85 each, totaling $170. 7a. Indirect Costs
The budget includes essential equipment required for a standard police officer to safely and effectively perform their duties in the field. Each officer must be outfitted with basic gear and technology that supports communication, documentation, accountability, and personal safety.

Uniforms and associated items, including boots, duty belt, and gloves, are necessary to ensure officers are properly equipped and identifiable while on duty. In addition, a duty flashlight ($200) is required for visibility in low-light conditions and routine patrol operations. Officers are also issued a Taser with holster ($2,000) to provide a less-lethal option for use-of-force situations, enhancing both officer and community safety.

To support transparency and evidence collection, each officer is equipped with a body-worn camera system, including associated software, data storage, licensing, and battery costs ($3,000). A portable radio ($7,500) is critical for real-time communication with dispatch and other officers, particularly during emergencies. A department-issued cell phone ($1,100) further supports communication, coordination, and access to digital tools while in the field.

For personal protection, each officer is issued a ballistic vest ($800), which is a standard safety requirement. Additionally, a digital camera ($400) is provided to document incidents, evidence, and scenes as needed.

Grant funds will be used to purchase a Ford F350 long bed 4WD truck with dump bed, a GETAC computer for field operations, and police department graphics for vehicle identification. The vehicle is necessary for code enforcement staff to safely access illegal cultivation sites located on vacant lots, rural parcels, and unpaved terrain, where illegal grows often generate hazardous debris such as marijuana plant waste, soil, irrigation systems, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, electrical bypass equipment, and general trash. The 4WD dump bed truck will provide the durability, access, and hauling capacity needed to transport contaminated materials safely while reducing repeated contact with hazardous items and minimizing officer exposure. The mobile computer will support real-time documentation, reporting, and communication in the field, and the vehicle graphics will clearly identify the truck as an official enforcement unit. The total requested amount for this line item is $95,900.

These investments are necessary to ensure officers are properly equipped to carry out their responsibilities safely, effectively, and in accordance with departmental and industry standards. 6a. Other (Travel, Training, etc.)

Prop 64 Grant - Requirements and Procedure for Data collection and Reporting Grantees selected for funding are required to submit Quarterly Progress Reports (QPRs), a Local Evaluation Plan (LEP), a Local Evaluation Report (LER), a program-specific compliance audit, and Comprehensive Monitoring Visit documentation, and must maintain all grant records for a minimum of three years following final payment.

Quarterly Progress Reports
The QPR is the backbone of BSCC's oversight and the primary data feed for its statewide evaluation. Ceres will submit QPRs throughout the grant period; the exact schedule will be confirmed after the mandatory grantee orientation in August 2026. Each QPR requires three categories of information: implementation status updates (not yet started, planning, implementation started, complete/established, or N/A) with a narrative for each activity; progress toward each goal and objective with a description of any challenges and how they are being addressed; and aggregate data on activities and participants. That last category includes things like storefront closures, nuisance abatement actions, environmental remediations, community education events, inspections, and complaints responded to. For projects serving participants directly, QPRs also require demographic data broken down by age, gender identity, race or ethnicity, risk level, education, and employment status, as well as outcomes achieved, such as sustained closures, reductions in the frequency of cannabis use, observed deterrence effects, and the number of inspections completed.

ATTACHMENT E

Local Evaluation Plan
The LEP is a written data collection and management plan that Ceres must have in place before project activities begin. It needs to describe, for each goal and objective in the grant agreement, what data elements will be collected, where they will come from, how frequently they will be collected, and how that data will be analyzed and reported. The LEP must also cover data management: who is responsible for collection, how data sharing agreements with external partners will work, how errors or inconsistencies will be caught, and where data will be stored securely. The BSCC recommends using an outside evaluator, ideally a university or research institution, for objectivity, and strongly encourages identifying that research partner early enough to involve them in shaping the goals and objectives so that outcomes are actually measurable.

Local Evaluation Report
The LER is the final document assessing whether Ceres achieved its goals and objectives. It follows directly from the LEP. It requires a project overview, a goal-by-goal accounting of results and supporting data, a discussion section covering limitations and lessons learned (no more than one page), and an optional highlights section of up to one page that may be included in the BSCC's statewide report. The goals and objectives used in the LER must match those in the grant agreement unless changes were preapproved by the assigned BSCC field representative.

Audit
Ceres must commission a program-specific compliance audit covering the full service delivery period from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031. The audit must be conducted by a certified public accountant or a city auditor who is organizationally independent from Ceres's project financial management functions. Actual audit costs up to $25,000 are reimbursable. The BSCC also reserves the right to call for a compliance or financial audit at any point from grant execution through three years after the grant ends. The California Department of General Services, the State Auditor, and the Department of Finance all retain independent rights to review and copy records pertaining to the grant.

Comprehensive Monitoring Visits
BSCC staff will conduct monitoring visits throughout the grant period to assess compliance with grant requirements and progress toward objectives. Visits may also provide technical assistance on fiscal, programmatic, evaluative, and administrative matters. Ceres should be familiar with the Comprehensive Monitoring Visit checklist available on the BSCC Corrections Planning and Grant Programs homepage.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
City Council
Javier Lopez, Mayor
James Casey, Dist. 1
Rosalinda L. Vierra, Dist. 2
Cerina Otero, Dist. 3
Daniel A. Martinez, Dist. 4
Meeting Date: July 27, 2026
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Steve Williams, Interim City Manager
Contact: Andrew Hunter, Assistant Fire Chief, [email protected] Subject: Direction Regarding the Proposed Annexation of the Ceres Fire Protection District into the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District
Recommended Council Action:

Receive an informational report regarding the proposed annexation of the Ceres Fire Protection District (CFPD) into the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District (SCFPD) and provide policy direction to the Interim City Manager regarding the City of Ceres (City's) position prior to the Stanislaus Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) meeting scheduled for August 26, 2026.

Background:

The Ceres Fire Protection District (CFPD) was formed in 1930 to provide fire protection services to unincorporated areas surrounding the City of Ceres. The District is governed by a three-member Board of Directors elected by the voters residing within the District.

Today, the District serves a population of fewer than 2,000 residents and encompasses approximately four square miles. The District exists primarily as a governance and funding agency responsible for contracting fire protection services.

The District does not own fire stations, fire apparatus, or employ firefighting personnel.

Instead, it contracts for all fire protection and emergency response services. Since 1963, the District has contracted with the City of Ceres to provide these services.

Over several decades, the District has experienced a gradual decline in both size and financial sustainability as portions of the District were annexed into the City of Ceres.

Each annexation reduced the District's property tax base while the District remained responsible for providing fire protection to the remaining unincorporated area. By 2024, the District's total annual revenues had declined to approximately $108,917, of which $76,702 was paid to the City of Ceres for responding to fewer than 150 calls for service.

The proposed annexation of the Copper Trails Specific Plan area and the remaining unincorporated island area into the City of Ceres is expected to further reduce the

District's already limited property tax base, accelerating concerns regarding the District's long-term financial sustainability. Recognizing that the District's long-term financial sustainability had been declining for many years, the Board of Directors began evaluating future governance and service delivery options more than two years ago.

Those discussions ultimately led to conversations with the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District regarding a potential annexation as a long-term solution.

Following those discussions, the Board of Directors of the Ceres Fire Protection District adopted a resolution requesting annexation into the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District. The Board of Directors of the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District subsequently adopted a corresponding resolution accepting the proposed annexation. Together, the two districts submitted a joint application to the Stanislaus Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) requesting approval of the reorganization.

The proposal is scheduled to be considered by LAFCO on August 26, 2026.

Although the City of Ceres is not the applicant or approving agency, the proposed annexation may have operational and financial implications because the City currently provides fire protection services within the Ceres Fire Protection District under contract.

Reasons for Recommendation:

The purpose of this agenda item is to provide the City Council with an overview of the proposed annexation and obtain policy direction regarding the City's position prior to the August 26, 2026, LAFCO meeting.

The proposed annexation is a governance change involving two independent special districts. Approval authority rests solely with the Stanislaus Local Agency Formation Commission. However, because the City currently provides fire protection services within the Ceres Fire Protection District, the Council may wish to communicate its position regarding the proposal and provide direction regarding future discussions with the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District.

If the Council supports the annexation, staff is requesting direction regarding whether the Interim City Manager should initiate discussions with the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District concerning a future agreement for compensation associated with fire protection services provided within the former Ceres Fire Protection District service area.

Fiscal Impacts:

There is no impact to the City's adopted Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget associated with the proposed annexation or the Council's direction on this agenda item.

The City currently provides fire protection services to the Ceres Fire Protection District pursuant to an existing agreement that remains in effect. Should the annexation ultimately be approved, the existing contractual relationship would eventually conclude.

The proposed annexation may create an opportunity for the City and the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District to discuss a future agreement for fire protection services within the former Ceres Fire Protection District boundaries. Any future agreement would be subject to negotiation and subsequent City Council approval.

Existing Policy / Relationship to the Strategic Plan:

This item supports the City Council's Strategic Plan by promoting effective government operations, regional cooperation, and responsible long-term planning.

The proposed discussion allows the Council to consider future governance of fire protection services while maintaining a commitment to efficient public service delivery and sound fiscal stewardship.

This item also supports regional collaboration between public agencies and promotes evaluation of long-term service delivery models that maintain public safety while encouraging responsible fiscal management.

Policy Alternatives:

Council may provide direction to:

1. Take no position regarding the proposed annexation;

2. Support the proposed annexation;

3. Protest the proposed annexation; or

4. If directed by the City Council, authorize the Interim City Manager to initiate discussions with the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District regarding a future agreement for compensation associated with providing fire protection services within the former Ceres Fire Protection District service area.

Interdepartmental Coordination
This report has been coordinated with the City Manager's Office, Fire Administration, Finance Department, and the City Attorney.

Public Participation:

Public notice of this item has been provided in accordance with the Brown Act.

Members of the public will have an opportunity to address the City Council during the meeting.

Environmental Review:

This agenda item consists of providing policy direction and does not constitute a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Steps Following Approval:

Following Council consensus, staff will proceed in accordance with the direction provided.

Depending upon Council direction, staff will:
• Communicate the City's position to Stanislaus LAFCO prior to the August 26, 2026, meeting.
• If directed, initiate discussions with the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District regarding a potential fire services agreement. • Return to the City Council with an update regarding the outcome of the LAFCO proceedings and any proposed agreements requiring Council consideration.

ATTACHMENT C

Why Timming Matters ATTACHMENT C

Path to the Proposed Reorganization
• CFPD's Board began evaluating governance and service delivery options more than two years ago
• Those discussions led to conversations with Stanislaus Consolidated FPD about a potential annexation
• CFPD Board of Directors adopted a resolution requesting annexation into SCFPD
• SCFPD Board of Directors adopted a corresponding resolution accepting the proposed annexation
• The two districts submitted a joint application to Stanislaus LAFCO • LAFCO is scheduled to consider the proposal on August 26, 2026

ATTACHMENT C

Impact on the Existing City–District Contract
• The City currently provides fire protection to CFPD under an existing agreement (originally executed in 2001) that remains in effect • If the annexation is approved, this contractual relationship would eventually conclude
• The reorganization may create an opportunity for the City and SCFPD to negotiate a future agreement covering fire services within the former CFPD boundaries
• Any future agreement would require negotiation and City Council approval

ATTACHMENT C

Policy Alternatives for Council Direction

1. Take no position regarding the proposed annexation

2. Support the proposed annexation

3. Protest the proposed annexation

4. Direct staff to initiate discussions with SCFPD regarding a future fire-services compensation agreement

ATTACHMENT C

Next Steps
Following Council direction, staff will:
• Communicate the City's position to Stanislaus LAFCO prior to the August 26, 2026 meeting
• If directed, initiate discussions with Stanislaus Consolidated FPD regarding a potential fire-services agreement
• Return to City Council with an update following the LAFCO proceedings, and bring back any proposed agreement for
consideration
