Design work is on schedule and they still estimate going out to bid in the first quarter of 2026. Staff regularly look for grants to improve our community.

Director Wisener stated, as council have already noted, there have been two Music in the Park concerts and two movies and they’ve gone great, the community loves them. They’re well received. The wind last Saturday at the movie event was really something. She was thankful that Public Works staff goes out before the events and has our arborist evaluate all the branches and cut down everything that is a potential hazard. [Veterans Park] was just a safe haven from the wind that was blowing so hard. We’ve done the Open Swim program for 12 days and average about 70 swimmers a day.

Meeting of: July 8, 2025
AGENDA SECTION: Consent
SUBJECT: Amendment to the City of Chowchilla Salary Scale for Fiscal Year 2025- 2026
PREPARED BY: Kerri Williams, Finance Director
ATTACHMENTS: Resolution, Salary Scale

REVIEWED BY
ADMINISTRATOR ☒ REVIEWED BYATTORNEY ☒ REVIEWED BY FINANCE ☒ RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution amending the City of Chowchilla Salary Scale for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 to reflect accurate step increases and to ensure consistency across all positions based off of the approved labor agreements.

BACKGROUND:

During a recent review of all approved labor agreements and salary schedules, staff identified discrepancies between the salary scale attached to the Police Officers Association (POA) MOU and the salary scale adopted by City Council. While the Council-adopted salary scale correctly implemented 5% step increases in accordance with the negotiated terms, the version attached to the POA MOU did not reflect consistent 5% calculations between steps.

Additionally, three employee positions that are not part of the POA bargaining unit—but are subject to the “me too” clause—were brought separately to Council as separate negotiations, and were erroneously missed in the final salary scale. These positions have now been reviewed and corrected.

As part of a thorough audit, staff reviewed the salary scale for all bargaining units and employee groups to ensure consistency, accuracy, and full compliance with approved MOUs. This review was not limited to any one bargaining group, rather it included all classifications and positions to ensure full compliance and accuracy moving forward.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The amended salary scale now reflects the correct implementation of all negotiated provisions, including proper 5% step increases and placement for all classifications both represented and unrepresented. This action ensures transparency, accuracy, and alignment with previously approved agreements.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no immediate fiscal impact from this action. As noted during the budget presentation, all salary related adjustments will be incorporated during the mid-year budget process. This amendment ensures the salary scale reflects accurate and approved compensation levels ahead of those planned adjustments.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may choose not to adopt the revised salary scale. However, this would result in the continued use of a salary schedule that does not fully reflect the negotiated terms in the MOUs or accurate step placement for certain positions. This alternative may lead to discrepancies in compensation and potential labor relations issues.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

Updated salary scale will be formally published.

Meeting of: July 8, 2025
AGENDA SECTION: Public Hearing
SUBJECT: Presentation and First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Section 2.04.110 of the Chowchilla Municipal Code to Authorize the Mayor to Temporarily Receive Additional Compensation
PREPARED BY: City Attorney
ATTACHMENTS: Ordinance

REVIEWED BY
ADMINISTRATOR ☒ REVIEWED BYATTORNEY ☒ REVIEWED BY FINANCE ☒ RECOMMENDATION:

That City Council receive staff presentation of the proposed Ordinance and its findings and set the Ordinance for adoption at the next regular meeting.

BACKGROUND:

The current salary for the Mayor is Three Hundred Dollars ($300) per month but will increase to Nine Hundred Fifty Dollars per month ($950) as approved by the City Council on April 22, 2025, and effective after the next municipal election.

California Government Code section 36516.1 authorizes the Mayor to receive compensation in addition to that which the Mayor receives as a Councilmember.

State law generally prohibits Councilmember salary increases from taking effect during the current Councilmember’s term of office. (Gov. Code, § 36516.5.) However, the California Attorney General has opinioned that the additional compensation authorized for the mayor of a general law city may be increased during his or her term of office as mayor because additional compensation for performing mayoral duties is not received as “a councilperson.” (89 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 159 (2006).) The City Council has expressed its desire to authorize the Mayor to receive the Nine Hundred Fifty Dollar ($950) councilmember salary immediately as additional mayoral compensation rather than waiting until the next municipal election, effective May 22, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed increase represents an additional annual cost of $7,800.00 from the General Fund. 1 ORDINANCE # xxx-25

The Annual Expenditure Plan (AEP) is required by the MCTA to claim Measure T funds that will be allocated to the City as specified in the Transportation Sales Tax Measure Investment Plan (Plan) approved by the voters in the November 2006 election. The AEP is completed annually. The proposed funding for the projects and programs in the AEP is consistent with the requirements specified in the Measure T 2007 Strategic Plan (Strategic Plan) adopted by the MCTA and with the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) proposed in the City’s FY 2025/26 Budget.

Measure T is a ½ cent sales tax measure approved by Madera County voters in the November 2006 election. The measure took effect on April 1, 2007, with a sunset provision of 20 years. As part of the measure’s implementation, local agencies submit an AEP. The AEP is a multi-modal funding program that commits funding for the following program categories:
 Regional Transportation and Highways  ADA Compliance  Local Street Maintenance  Transit Enhancement
 Local Street Supplemental Maintenance  ADA/Seniors/Paratransit  Flexible (Miscellaneous Street programs)  Environmental Enhancement

The Regional Streets and Highways program consists of two elements:

1. One is the responsibility of MCTA to manage and deliver projects of regional significance. MCTA may elect to agree with the local agency to perform the engineering and construction activities of this element.

2. The second element is the responsibility of the local agencies to manage the construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance of the agency’s arterial and collector streets.

1. Regional Transportation and Highway Program
The FY 2025/26 allocation is $334,934. This Fiscal Year, Public Works is expecting to utilize $235,128 for the following projects.

• R- 8 Ave 24 ½ Rehab. Project - $5,128
• R-19 Rd 15 ½ Rehab. Project - $230,000

2. Local Transportation Program

Supplemental Street Maintenance:

The FY 2025/26 allocation is $117,227 for General Street Maintenance on various City streets. • $121,286 reserved to Public Works for Street Maintenance activities Flexible:

The FY 2025/26 allocation is $291,396. These funds are impounded by the MCTA to fund the delivery of projects in the Regional Streets and Highway Program. Funds will be impounded until each agency can adopt an Impact Fee program for the construction of Regional Facilities. 20 percent match for projects listed in the Regional Streets program is a requirement of the Transportation Sales Tax Measure Investment Plan approved by the voters. Flexible funds will be released back to each agency upon payment of the matching funds by each local agency. Public Works is expecting to utilize $162,922 of carryover funds that were available before flexible funding was impounded for completion of projects in the following years.
• Reserved for future projects - $162,922
ADA Compliance:

The FY 2025/26 allocation is $6,699 for sidewalk repairs and safety improvements to make walkways ADA-compliant. Public Works is expecting to utilize $9,859 for Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant match for the HSIP - Systemic Improvements Intersections engineering design. • R-22 HSIP - Systemic Improvements Intersections

3. Transit Enhancement Program
Transit Enhancement-Citywide:

The FY 2025/26 allocation is $24,517 for security and passenger enhancements to make facilities ADAcompliant. Transit is expecting to utilize $41,022 for a future year purchase of a new CATX bus. • Reserved for future project - $41,022
Transit Enhancements-ADA/Seniors/Paratransit:

The FY 2025/26 allocation is $2,278 for security and passenger enhancements to make facilities ADAcompliant. No specific projects are scheduled for the current Fiscal Year for these funds. • Reserved for future projects - $12,896

4. Environmental Enhancement Program

• Reserved for future projects - $151,725
The MCTA Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) will also review and comment on this expenditure plan before it submits to the MCTA. The MCTA will consider adopting this expenditure plan into the Measure T FY 2025/26 Annual Work Plan at their October meeting.

FISCAL IMPACT:

An approved AEP by the City Council is required to receive the City’s allocation of Measure T funds.

Allocation of funds in the AEP is consistent with project funding in the proposed CIP for FY 2025/26. There is no adverse impact on the General Fund for the implementation of these projects and programs.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council does not adopt a resolution approving the Measure T AEP for FY 2025/26 and does not authorize submission of the AEP to the Madera County Transportation Authority (MCTA) for adoption and will have to use alternative funds for Street projects.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

The Public Works Director or Designee will be authorized and directed to submit a certified copy of this resolution to the MCTA for consideration to include the City of Chowchilla’s AEP in the FY 2025/26 Measure T Annual Work Program.

This ordinance is intended to ensure that measures are taken by the owners of the shopping carts to prevent the removal of the shopping carts from the cart owner’s business premises, to make removal of the cart a violation of Code, and to facilitate the retrieval of abandoned shopping carts in a manner consistent with State law and to use an administrative citation program to establish appropriate fined intended to act a reasonable deterrent in preventing violations.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If approved the ordinance will help to reimburse the City of Chowchilla for any cost incurred for removal of shopping carts in the City.

ALTERNATIVES:

Do not approve and the City will incur the cost of removal of the abandoned carts.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

Send ordinance to Civic Plus for codification. Ordinance will take effect after 30 days.
