STAFF REPORT - CITY COUNCIL/SUCCESSOR AGENCY/PUBLIC FINANCE
AUTHORITY
Subject: Approval of Amendment No. 2 to the Construction Management Agreement with MKN & Associates for the Derrick Reservoir Rehabilitation Project Meeting Date: Thursday, July 17, 2025
From: Sean Brewer, Interim City Manager
Prepared by: Sean Brewer, Interim City Manager
I. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Councilauthorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with MKN & Associates, Inc. for additionalconstruction management and engineering services during construction (ESDC) related to the Derrick Reservoir Rehabilitation Project.
II. BACKGROUND:
The Derrick Reservoir Rehabilitation Project has encountered several unforeseen construction issues that have led to delays and expanded the original scope of work. These include:
Unanticipated structural degradation of the tank roof and upper course requiring replacement; Discovery of deteriorated piping and appurtenances that required design changes and additional installation;
Ongoing delays in construction progress by the contractor; and Emerging repair needs for the tank shelland floor based on ongoing blasting and coating operations.
While staff has managed to keep the project progressing using other budget line items within the existing contract through early June 2025, it became clear additional funding would be necessary to carry the project through completion. MKN & Associates was asked to develop a “worst-case” scope and budget to provide uninterrupted construction management and inspection services through the anticipated completion in September 2025.
III. DISCUSSION:
Amendment No. 2 provides for the continuation of construction management and ESDC services through September 2025, based on an estimated five-month extension of the construction schedule (May-September).
Key elements include:
Full-time (5 days/week, 8 hours/day) on-site construction inspection and observation services; Ongoing project management, coordination, and QA/QC activities; Continued review of contractor submittals and resubmittals; and Provisions for special inspection services, if required.
While the fullextent of inspection services may not be needed depending on project developments, staff believes it is prudent to authorize the full scope now to avoid any delays that would result from having to return to Council for additionalapprovals mid-project.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
None determined at this time as the City needs construction management services as well s special inspection services for the duration of the project.
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
The total not-to-exceed cost of Amendment No. 2 is $193,410. This includes $186,000 for construction management services and $7,410 for engineering services. Funding is available within the water enterprise fund to cover these additionalexpenses, and this amendment aligns with prior Council direction to ensure timely project completion.

RE: Scope Amendment 2 – Additional Construction Management Services for Derrick Reservoir Rehabilitation Project
Dear Mr. Brewer,
The construction work for the Derrick Reservoir Rehabilitation Project (Project) has encountered the following construction challenges that have resulted in delays:
Roof Structure - Within the first week of construction, the contractor visited the site to cut in the door sheet to the existing tank. During this time, the contractor observed that the tank was in a more degraded condition than was originally outlined within the Maintenance and Inspection Report prepared by CSI in 2020. The Contractor and MKN discovered the existing roof structure would require additional work and time to remove. At the time, the Contractor estimated the additional work would delay the overall project duration by approximately 10 working days. Upper Course Replacement – On November 1, 2024, the contractor identified that the upper course of the tank (Course 5) was also in a more degraded condition than previously anticipated.
MKN contracted with a local testing agency to perform UT tests to determine where thicknesses were not adequate and where portions of Course 5 needed to be repaired. Based on the results of the tests and estimates provided by the contractor, it was determined in December, and confirmed in January, that the entirety of Course 5 needed to be replaced. Negotiations regarding price took place and a price was accepted in February, followed by notice to the contractor to proceed with the work. This work would result in additional compensation for the contractor, as well as an award of an additional 70 working days. These 70 working days included the additional days granted to the contractor for the roof structure delays described above. Piping and Appurtenances – Throughout construction, additional piping and appurtenances have been found to be deteriorated and in need of replacement. These include the procurement and installation of the new full-travel liquid level indicator, the removal of the inlet pipe, and the removal and replacement of the existing manway structure. Each of these items required additional time, effort, and calculations to determine the best path forward. Delayed Construction Progress – The contractor has been behind schedule since the beginning of the project. Currently, as of July 7, 2025, the contractor is approximately 3.5 weeks behind their last approved schedule (from April 10, 2025).
Sean Brewer | 2
Tank Shell Repairs - During the month of July, the contractor will be performing blasting and coating of the interior and exterior of the tank shell. Based on visual analysis of the tank shell condition, some areas have already been identified for repair. The visual observation of the tank shell served as a starting point and could result in required repairs in excess of those already identified by the project team. The full scope of this work is unknown at this point and the total delay and costs are also unknown.
Tank Floor - During the month of July, the contractor will be performing blasting and coating of the tank floor. Some areas have already been identified as areas in need of repair. However, much like the tank shell, the full scope of the repairs and the total cost of the repairs is still to be determined.
MKN is requesting to increase our construction management and engineering services during construction scope of work and fee to account for the extended construction duration. The original scope of work was based on a construction contract completion in April of 2025. Given the additional working days that have already been issued and the estimated number of additional working days that MKN estimates will be required, MKN is requesting to increase our contracted scope of work to include on-going construction management activities and engineering services during construction through September of 2025. Scope amendment 2 includes the following:
Scope of Work
Task Group 100 – Construction Management
Task 100 – Construction Management
MKN will continue performing construction management activities described in the original scope of services for an additional 5 months.
Total Additional Fee Requested = $186,000
Task Group 1000 – Engineering Services During Construction (ESDC) Task 1001 – Project Management, Coordination, and QA/QC MKN will continue performing the project management activities outlined in Scope Amendment No. 1 for an additional 5 months.
Total Additional Fee Requested = $2,830
Sean Brewer | 3
Tasks 1007 – Submittal Review
MKN has reviewed additional contractor submittals and resubmittals. Scope Amendment No. 2 includes an additional twenty (20) hours of engineering time for submittal/resubmittal reviews.
Total Additional Fee Requested = $4,580
Compensation
MKN will perform these services on a time-and materials basis for a fee not-to-exceed of $193,410 in accordance with MKN’s 2025 Fee Schedule.
Please let me know if this proposal is approved or if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Henry Liang, PE

STAFF REPORT - CITY COUNCIL/SUCCESSOR AGENCY/PUBLIC FINANCE
AUTHORITY
Subject: Authorize the Fresno Sheriff's Office to Assist the Coalinga Police Department with Evening Dispatch Service Coverage on an Interim Basis Due to an Immediate Need Untila Formal MOU is Considered in August
Meeting Date: Thursday July 17, 2025
From: Sean Brewer, Interim City Manager
Prepared by: Jose Garza, Chief of Police
I. RECOMMENDATION:
The Police Chief and City Manager are recommending that the Councilauthorize an agreement with the Fresno Sheriff’s Office (FSO) to provide dispatch services during the Midnight shift for approximately six months.
II. BACKGROUND:
The Coalinga Police Department has been struggling to maintain dispatch coverage due to several vacancies. We are currently using our Records Clerk and Chief’s Secretary, who are former dispatchers, to fill the vacancies until we can hire qualified candidates. The candidates we recently hired or are in the background process have either quit or withdrawn their names for consideration. We currently have other candidates to start the background process, but it will take a month or so to complete their background process. In addition, it will take a minimum of four months to fully train an employee, depending on their prior experience.
The FY2025/2026 budget approves for five full-time dispatchers and two part-time dispatchers, and we currently have three full-time dispatchers. As of August 1, one full-time dispatcher working Midnights will be transferred to a part-time dispatcher position, and we are anticipating losing another full-time Midnight dispatcher soon, which will leave us with one full-time dispatcher. We didn’t anticipate losing the majority of our full-time dispatchers. We need a minimum staffing of four full-time dispatchers to operate a 24/7 Dispatch Center for the City of Coalinga. This situation prompted us to contact the Fresno Sheriff’s Office for assistance with dispatch services.
III. DISCUSSION:
We currently have MutualAid Agreements with the Fresno Sheriff’s Office in handling prisoner processing, prisoner hospital standby, and specific critical investigations, such as officer involve shootings. The new MOU for dispatch services is currently under discussion with FSO, and our goal is to have the MOU ready for Councilapprovalat the next Council meeting on August 7, 2025. In the meantime, starting on August 1, 2025, the FSO Dispatch Center will need to take over dispatch services for the City of Coalinga during the Midnight shift (1800-0600 hours) for approximately six months, as we’ll have no Midnight coverage due to vacancies.
The Fresno Sheriff’s Office’s current rate for 24/7 dispatch services is $17.74 per person in the population.
The City of Coalinga population, according to the State of California Department of Finance census, is 17,608, so our rate would be $26,000 per month. According to FSO, the rate willchange and increase about 10% in October/November, which is a normal increase, and can take the rate to about $19.51 per person, or about $28,627.67 per month. However, we are only asking the FSO to cover 12 hours daily, not 24 hours, so the monthly cost will be approximately $14,313.83 after the rate changes. We would need at least 6 months’ coverage, so we are looking at about $78,000 before the rate changes, or about $85,882.98 after the rate changes. Our current monthly salary for Police Technician II (Dispatcher) Step C is $3,673.43, multiplied by 2 for the two Midnight Dispatchers, not including benefits. This equals $7,346.86 multiplied by 6 months, which is $44,081.16.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
Alternative authorization for dispatch services by FSO not given (not recommended).
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
In FY2025-2026, there will be a fiscal impact to the CPD personnel budget in the amount of $33,918.84, depending on the rate used. However, Police Technician II salary savings have reduced the cost to the City. staff is recommending that we use fund balance to cover these unanticipated costs and in August staff will bring a budget adjustment resolution and dispatch MOU to the Council for approval.

Monthly Project Status Report
Prepared by: Sean Brewer
Project Name: Explore Feasibility of a New Veterans Hall Reporting Period: June, 2025
1. Project Overview:
Scope: Evaluate the feasibility of establishing a new Veterans Hall in Coalinga, including review of funding mechanisms (state/federal grants, earmarks), special district formation, and potential partnerships with federal/state representatives.
2. Executive Summary and Progress Update:
During this reporting period, staff initiated the preliminary feasibility assessment in response to a City Council directive. Initial outreach to our federal lobbyist identified two potential paths for pursuing a Veterans Hall:
Special District Formation:
Establishing a Veterans Memorial District is a potential option, but involves a complex, multi-step process governed by LAFCo. Key steps include public engagement, feasibility study, CEQA compliance, and a potential election. Estimated costs range from tens of thousands to over $100,000 depending on CEQA and election requirements.
Federal Earmarks:
This project could qualify for federal funding through the Community Project Funding (earmark) process. According to Townsand, here are couple projects received significant allocations for a veterans center/hall:
• $850,000 to Manteca for a Veterans Center (2024)
• $1,250,000 to Watsonville (2025, rescinded in CR)
Spencer Street of Townsend Public Affairs is monitoring fall timelines for earmark submissions and will support a future application to Rep. Gray and Senators Padilla and Schiff.
Potential Challenges:
The complexity and cost of forming a new district may outweigh the benefits unless local momentum or a clear funding path is secured. Staff will need to determine if this path is viable or whether earmark funding alone can support the project.
4. Timeline:
5. Budget:
None allocated at this time; exploratory phase only
6. Upcoming Milestones:
• Coordinate with CSDA and LAFCo for guidance on district formation • Schedule internal strategy meeting for earmark submission • Draft summary for Rep. Gray’s office to begin 2026 earmark positioning • Identify potential stakeholders (local veterans organizations, service clubs) Timeline:

Reporting Period: July 2025
1. Project Overview:
Scope: Decentralize finance functions through process automation using workflow. Finance functions include Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Purchase Orders, Journal Entries, Miscellaneous Revenue receipts, Travel Requests, and Budget Amendments.
Timeline: Expected Date of Completion: June 30, 3027
2. Executive Summary and Progress Update:
The Financial Services Department is undertaking a strategic initiative to decentralize its finance function in response to persistent inefficiencies in the current centralized model. This project is driven by the need to enhance operational responsiveness, improve accountability at all levels, and streamline financial workflows across the organization.
Recent internal assessments have highlighted critical delays in budget execution, lack of transparency in financial reporting, and bottlenecks in procurement and expenditure approvals.
Additionally, the existing financial system is not utilized to its full extent to ensure control and compliance. As a result, the current centralized structure has become a constraint on timely decisionmaking and departmental autonomy.
Decentralization is being pursued as a solution to distribute financial responsibilities more evenly, empower departments with direct control over their budgets, and foster a more agile and responsive finance ecosystem.

Project Name: Establish Cash Handling Policy
Reporting Period: July 2025
1. Project Overview:
Scope: The City of Coalinga is initiating a project to create and implement a Cash Handling Policy to provide clear, consistent procedures and internal controls for the secure collection, handling, deposit, and reconciliation of cash and other monetary instruments. The policy will apply to all departments that collect revenues in the form of cash, checks, money orders, or credit/debit card payments, including but not limited to utility billing, permit payments, and event fees.
This effort is critical to safeguarding public funds, reducing financial risk, and ensuring compliance with audit and accounting standards.
Timeline: Expected Date of Completion: 8/31/2026
2. Executive Summary and Progress Update:
The City of Coalinga is developing a formal Cash Handling Policy to ensure that all cash and monetary transactions are conducted in a secure, consistent, and accountable manner across all departments. This initiative is essential to protecting public funds, strengthening internal controls, and aligning the City’s financial practices with industry and audit standards.
Currently, the absence of a centralized and standardized cash handling policy creates potential risks related to mismanagement, theft, and inconsistent procedures. To address this, the policy will establish clear protocols for the collection, safeguarding, reconciliation, and deposit of cash, checks, money orders, and credit/debit card payments.

Project Name: Update CalCard Policy
Reporting Period: July 2025
1. Project Overview:
Scope: Initiating an update of its outdated CalCard policy to enhance financial controls, streamline purchasing processes, and reinforce accountability. The revised policy will provide clear procedures for issuing, using, monitoring, and reconciling CalCards, ensuring compliance with procurement guidelines and audit standards.
Timeline: Expected date of completion: 5/31/2026
2. Executive Summary and Progress Update:
The City of Coalinga is undertaking a comprehensive update of its outdated CalCard Policy to improve fiscal oversight, streamline procurement processes, and reinforce accountability across departments. As CalCards are a critical tool for day-to-day purchasing, a clear and robust policy is essential to safeguard public funds and ensure consistent, compliant use.
The revised policy will focus on four key areas:
1. Efficiency: Simplifying and clarifying purchasing procedures, thresholds, and reconciliation requirements to improve operational flow and reduce administrative burden.
2. Internal Controls: Strengthening financial safeguards by formalizing documentation standards, review protocols, and audit mechanisms to minimize risk and support transparency.
3. Accountability: Establishing clearly defined roles and responsibilities for cardholders, supervisors, and Finance staff, along with consequences for misuse and non-compliance.
4. Access & Procedures: Introducing a formal process for requesting and issuing CalCards, including eligibility requirements, supervisor authorization, mandatory training, and a signed agreement form.

Project Name: Credit Card Payments for all Services
Reporting Period: July 2025
1. Project Overview:
Scope: To accept credit card payment for all services
Timeline: Expected Date of Completion: November 3, 2025
2. Executive Summary and Progress Update:
The City currently accepts credit card payments only for utility billing. Payments for other services— such as business licenses, permits, and administrative transactions—must still be made via cash, check, or money order.
In accordance with SB 379, most California cities and counties are required to implement an online, automated permitting platform for solar-related permits by September 30, 2024. This transition highlights the City’s ongoing challenges with its current merchant payment processor.
At present, the City uses OpenEdge for credit card processing. However, the provider imposes substantial service fees and lacks the capability to distinguish payments made for services beyond utility billing. Despite efforts to address this—such as requesting a rate analysis and reviewing alternative proposals—the projected annual processing cost remains high, exceeding $300,000.
City staff have also engaged Tyler Technologies, the provider of the City’s financial system, to explore a more cost-effective payment solution. We are currently awaiting their proposal, which will include a revised fee structure and implementation options.
Progress update: Pending quote for service and rates. Expect to receive it the week of July 7th.

The policy will provide clear procedures, internal controls, and accountability measures related to employee travel, ensuring that all travel expenditures are reasonable, necessary, properly authorized, and in compliance with city and public fund stewardship standards.
Timeline: Expected Date of Completion: 8/31/2025
2. Executive Summary and Progress Update:
The City of Coalinga is initiating a project to develop and implement a comprehensive Travel Policy to establish clear, consistent, and accountable procedures for all employee travel on official city business. This initiative is aimed at enhancing financial transparency, ensuring appropriate use of public funds, and reducing risk through clearly defined internal controls.
The current absence of a formal, citywide travel policy creates inconsistencies in travel approvals, reimbursement practices, and documentation standards. This project will address those gaps by implementing structured procedures and approval workflows to ensure travel is pre-authorized, properly budgeted, and well-documented.

Project Name: Revise Fund Balance and Reserve Policy
Reporting Period: July 2025
1. Project Overview:
Scope: Revise Fund Balance and Reserve policy by leveraging the Golden Cone of Prosperity model Timeline: Expected date of completion: June 2026
2. Executive Summary and Progress Update:
The City of Coalinga’s Fund Balance and Reserve Policy is not just a fiscal management tool—it is a foundational element of the City’s long-term financial resilience and prosperity. In alignment with the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA)’s Golden Cone of Prosperity, this policy reinforces the importance of strong financial foundations to support higher-level community outcomes such as economic stability, service reliability, equity, and sustainable growth.
The GFOA’s Golden Cone of Prosperity is a nationally recognized framework that illustrates how municipalities can build toward community prosperity by focusing first on essential financial disciplines. The cone begins with core practices like maintaining adequate reserves and liquidity and ascends toward more ambitious goals like equity-based budgeting and long-term community wellbeing.
This policy directly supports the base layer of the Golden Cone—Reserves and Liquidity—by ensuring that the City:
• Maintains sufficient reserves in the General Fund to manage revenue volatility, emergencies, and economic downturns.
• Sets strategic reserve levels for Enterprise Funds to cover operational continuity, infrastructure reinvestment, and utility rate stability.
• Commits to annual review and adjustment of reserve targets based on updated forecasts and evolving community needs.
By strengthening the City’s reserve practices, Coalinga will build the fiscal foundation necessary for sound budgetary planning, responsible capital investment, risk management, and ultimately, community prosperity.

STAFF REPORT - CITY COUNCIL/SUCCESSOR AGENCY/PUBLIC FINANCE
AUTHORITY
Subject: Approve Bid Award to Optimized Investment Partners, LLC and Authorize the Interim City Manager to Execute a Professional Services Agreement for Investment Advisory and Managerment Services
Meeting Date: Thursday, July 17, 2025
From: Sean Brewer, Interim City Manager
Prepared by: Mai Vang, Financial Services Director
I. RECOMMENDATION:
Interim City Manager and Financial Services Director recommends that the City Council:
1) Receive a Presentation of Investments 101 by Optimized Investment Partners (Attachment A); 2) Award bid to Optimized Investment Partners;
3) Approve a professional services agreement with Optimized Investment Partners, LLC (Attachment B) for investment advisory and management services for an initial three-year period effective July 17, 2025, through June 30, 2028; and
4) Authorize the Interim City Manager to execute the agreement and any subsequent term extension amendments provided for under the Agreement contingent upon satisfactory performance by the consultant.
II. BACKGROUND:
The City of Coalinga has historically invested its surplus cash in LAIF and United States Treasury. For several years this conservative strategy worked well because market interest rates were so low. It provided complete liquidity while providing some interest earnings. Over the last few years, market interest rates have risen dramatically. To take advantage of changes in the investment market, staff have been reviewing its various options related to a more active investment strategy.
On May 5, 2025, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP for Investment Advisory Services) soliciting proposals from qualified investment advisory firms to provide prudent investment advice for the City’s idle cash and outline policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City’s cash by achieving its primary investment objectives of safety, liquidity, and reasonable yield.
III. DISCUSSION:
During the solicitation period, five (5) proposals were received from: 1) Optimized Investment Partners, LLC (OIP); 2) Meeder Public Funds; 3) Clearwater Advisors; 4) Garcia Hamilton & Associates; and 5) Chandler Asset Management. The proposals were carefully evaluated by City staff and the City’s MunicipalAdvisor, Wulff, Hansen & Co., based on experience, qualifications, and other relevant factors. Proposed costs and fees were also evaluated to ensure they were in line with current market rates for the services to be provided.
Of the five firms who submitted proposals, City staff interviewed OIP and Chandler Asset Management, whose proposals were ranked the highest by staff based on their experience, qualifications, and potential ability to best meet the City’s current and future needs.
After conducting interviews, staff determined that OIP is best suited to meet the City’s current and future needs based on their demonstrated expertise, municipal investment market knowledge, and reasonable fees for services. OIP provided highly positive references, has an in-depth investment market understanding, and has experience providing investment advisory services to other agencies of similar size to the City of Coalinga.
OIP will perform investment advisory and/or management services, including but not limited to advising or managing the City’s investment portfolio, evaluating market risk and developing strategies that minimize the impact on the portfolio, and providing the City with various other investment advisory services in order to maximize returns on the City’s investments as further described in Attachment A to Attachment B.
The services that Optimized Investment Partners provides are unique in the industry. Their scope of services includes: cash-flow modeling; investment policy review/drafting; monthly cash account review; quarterly investment reporting; daily investment advice; unlimited virtual meetings with staff; and general investment advisory services.
The investment strategies currently being considered will be a multi-year laddering approach and will take advantage of the higher interest rates currently available.
The City will be entering into a custodialagreement with an authorized bank in the near future to hold the investment cash before and after investments are purchased. This third-party relationship guarantees an appropriate system of checks and balances to ensure the safety of our investments. Optimized Investment Partners will not hold or maintain any control over the City’s cash. They willadvise and recommend investments that are compliant with our investment policy. An authorized broker-dealer list will be utilized by City staff to ensure timely availability and execution of investments.
Recently, the Financial Services Director spoke with the Finance Director of the City of Lemoore regarding their experience with Optimized Investment Partners. The City of Lemoore Finance Director confirmed that OIP has fully fulfilled allcontractual obligations and expressed satisfaction with their services, noting positive performance and professional relationship. Additionally, the City’s MunicipalAdvisor contacted the City Manager of the City of Suisun City regarding their experience with Optimized Investment Partners, who also spoke highly of Optimized Investment Partners.
OIP is a California based company from the San Diego region that serves cities and special districts. OIP is comprised of highly skilled staff with extensive municipal finance experience. OIP specializes in assisting small to medium size municipalities in California with optimizing their investment portfolios. OIP currently has 21 clients with totalassets under management of $470 million. OIP’s approach to optimizing the City’s returns on its investments will include rigorous cash flow modeling and monthly reviews of cash balances to ensure sufficient liquidity necessary for daily operations.
The fees for OIP services will be based on the amount of assets under management (AUM) and is set at a flat rate of 0.10% (10 basis points) for AUM, which encompasses all investments in custodialaccounts, pooled accounts, and other investment-related accounts, excluding City checking account balances. There are no additional fees or reimbursement costs associated with any additional services required by the City that are related to investment management.
OIP's services differ substantially from traditional municipal investment advisors:
Their custom cash flow modeling uniquely integrates all of the City’s funds, the City's budgets, Capital Improvement Plans, and cyclical revenue patterns into the investment strategy. This proactive approach identifies significantly more investable funds compared to competitors who rely on clients to determine cash availability.
OIP provides active cash management by analyzing allcash positions monthly, including existing investments with Zion Bank. This maximizes investment potential while ensuring liquidity needs are met.
Per review with legalcounsel, the City Attorney has expressed no opposition to any aspects of the proposed engagement with Optimized Investment Partners. The City Attorney finds the procurement approach legally sound and has raised no concerns. The City willalso have an option to terminate the agreement at any time, should the Consultant’s performance or return on investments fall below the City’s expectations.
The Evaluation was based on the weighted criteria:
Criteria Weight
Public agency experience 30%
Investment strategy & understanding 25%
Cost of services 20%
Reporting and compliance tools 15%
References 10%
Due to the marginal difference in scores, staff interviewed the two parties of interest and the total score was weigthed for both Proposal (70%) and Interview (30%).
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
Decline to 1) Receive a Presentation of Investments 101 by Optimized Investment Partners (Attachment A); 2) Award the bid to Optimized Investment Partners; 3) Approve a professional services agreement with Optimized Investment Partners, LLC (Attachment B) for investment advisory and management services for an initial three-year period effective July 17, 2025, through June 30, 2028; and 4) Authorize the Interim City Manager to execute the agreement and any subsequent term extension amendments provided for under the Agreement contingent upon satisfactory performance by the consultant V. FISCAL IMPACT:
If the Council would like to proceed with authorizing the Interim City Manager and Financial Services Director’s to engage in an agreement for investment advisory services with Optimized Investment Partners, Optimized Investment Partners willactively manage the City’s cash surplus which willensure monthly value with cash management, taking advantage of market opportunities to improve future yields, and to appropriately ladder the investment portfolio to ensure resiliency and consistent revenue into the future. They willalso help to ensure that the City stays in compliance with the California government code.
By contracting Optimized Investment Partners for investment advisory services, it is anticipated that they will generate $103,000 in revenue per month for the first 12 months. Their fee is approximately $2,500 per month.
This is a projected positive net fiscal impact of $100,500 per month. The fee is subject to change based upon the fluctuations of the amount of assets under management (AUM) and is set at a flat rate of 0.10% (10 basis points) as specified in the advisory contract.

Mai Vang
Financial Services Director
City of Coalinga

Coalinga, CA 93210
Dear Ms. Vang,
Optimized Investment Partners, LLC is pleased to submit our proposal in response to the City of Coalinga’s Request for Proposal for Investment Advisory Services issued on May 5, 2025.
With expertise in municipal investment management, OIP is uniquely positioned to provide prudent investment advisory services for the City’s investment portfolio. We understand your objectives of safety, liquidity, and reasonable yield, and excel at maximizing cash efficiency while maintaining compliance with California Government Codes and the City’s Investment Policy.
From our perspective, the City of Coalinga has three potential avenues: firstly, attempting to manage investments internally, a route that may be limited by the absence of specialized expertise and dedicated resources; secondly, engaging a traditional advisor firm, which may provide generic solutions that fall short of effectively addressing the distinct complexities of managing public funds; or thirdly, opting for an innovative industry disruptor like Optimized Investment Partners, that brings fresh perspectives and tailored strategies to meet the City’s distinctive investment needs.
Thank you for considering our proposal. Optimized Investment Partners looks forward to the opportunity to work with you and contribute to the success of the City of Coalinga.
Sincerely,
Robert Michalik

4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Describe your firm’s capabilities and interest in serving the City.
Optimized Investment Partners (OIP) specializes exclusively in investment advisory services for California municipalities. Founded by a former municipal Finance Director with 20+ years of experience, we understand governmental operations from the inside.
KEY CAPABILITIES AND BENEFITS

Our founder's 20+ years of municipal finance experience spans across multiple aspects of municipal finance and government operations. This gives us unparalleled insight into governmental operations. Unlike conventional advisors whose expertise lies primarily in investment products, we intimately understand municipal budgeting cycles, operational constraints, and cash flow patterns because we've been in your position.
OIP represents the exciting future of municipal investment management. We are a rapidly expanding firm founded in 2022 that has quickly established itself as a transformative force in the industry. In just 3 years, we've grown to manage $460 million in assets across 20 California municipalities, with accelerating growth each quarter. We combine the agility and innovative spirit of a forward-thinking company with deep municipal expertise that conventional investment firms with outdated strategies simply cannot match.
Response to RFP for Investment Advisory Services
5 Three factors demonstrate our commitment to municipal clients:

We are confident that the City of Coalinga will benefit from our specialized municipal expertise and proven track record in activating idle funds. Our innovative cash flow modeling and active cash management approaches will transform your investment portfolio, generating meaningful new revenue without compromising safety or liquidity.

The City’s success is our success, and we look forward to serving as trusted partners in your financial future.
FIRM QUALIFICATIONS AND PERSONNEL
Detail experience with municipal clients, bios of key staff, and organizational structure.
EXPERIENCE WITH MUNICIPAL CLIENTS. OIP was established to revolutionize municipal investment portfolio management through innovative cash flow modeling and customized laddering strategies. Our founder, David Bilby, developed this approach during his tenure as Finance Director/Treasurer for the City of Chula Vista, where he transformed a $400 million portfolio by implementing sophisticated cash flow modeling and active cash management, innovative methods that activated over $100 million in previously idle funds, dramatically increasing the City's investment revenue.
When traditional investment advisors showed resistance to adopting these proven techniques, David recognized a critical opportunity to transform the municipal investment landscape. Driven by the knowledge that his methods could generate millions in additional revenue for public agencies across California, he left government service in 2021 to establish Optimized Investment Partners. OIP was founded with a clear purpose: to bring this innovative, revenue-generating approach to municipalities that were underserved by conventional investment advisors stuck in outdated practices.
Response to RFP for Investment Advisory Services
6 Today, we proudly serve 20 California municipalities, with combined assets of $460 million. From small special districts with $2 million in assets to cities managing over $70 million, each client benefits from our intimate understanding of governmental operations and cash flows—an understanding that only comes from having walked in your shoes.
What sets OIP apart from other advisory firms is our intimate understanding of governmental operations and cash flows, resulting in additional investment revenue while reducing overall portfolio risk. Unlike conventional advisors who often wait for clients to dictate available funds, we proactively analyze cash flows to identify untapped investment potential.
By choosing OIP, you are not just selecting an advisor; you are partnering with a team that intimately understands the unique challenges and opportunities of municipal finance and is personally committed to your community's financial success.

Response to RFP for Investment Advisory Services
8 INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY AND STRATEGY
Explain your approach to managing public funds.
OIP's investment philosophy and approach to managing public funds are centered on three core strategies:
✔ CASH FLOW MODELING: We utilize historical data and projected capital projects and expenses to forecast cash flow to optimize investment portfolios. Our approach minimizes idle cash and maintains optimal cash investment while ensuring liquidity for daily operations. Our detailed cash flow models maximize earnings without compromising the availability of funds when needed.
VALUE TO THE CITY: Cash Flow Modeling typically activates 30-50% more investable funds than conventional, standardized methods. For example, our analysis for the City of Lemoore identified $54 million in checking accounts that could be strategically invested, increasing annual earnings from $774,000 to $3,500,000.
Without a cash flow model, finance teams often rely on spreadsheets, guesswork, or back-of-the-envelope tracking to plan investments. Our dynamic cash flow modeling services frees staff to focus on other priority tasks while delivering superior investment outcomes. This approach saves valuable internal labor hours, significantly improves decision quality, and optimizes return on investment—all without requiring additional City resources or personnel.
✔ STRATEGIC LADDERING: OIP takes a disciplined approach with optimized laddering strategies that balance risk and return, enhance liquidity, and maximize long-term performance. We spread maturities over a five-year period, aligning investment maturities with the City’s cash flow needs. This strategy provides critical cash infusions when operations require more liquidity while keeping the maximum amount actively invested.
VALUE TO THE CITY: Our strategic laddering methodology provides dual benefits in any interest rate environment. During falling rate periods, longer-maturity positions in the ladder shield the portfolio from immediate yield declines. Conversely, during rising rates, regularly maturing positions can be reinvested at progressively higher yields. This balanced approach delivers stable, predictable cash flows that significantly enhance budgetary planning and provides resilience against market volatility, allowing the City to maintain reliable investment income regardless of economic conditions.
Response to RFP for Investment Advisory Services
9 ✔ ACTIVE CASH MANAGEMENT: We believe that how much you keep invested is more important than what you invest in. Unlike common industry practices, OIP incorporates a comprehensive monthly or twice monthly portfolio review to ensure alignment with your objectives, adjusting liquid investments based on cash flow needs, which puts the maximum amount of funds to work. This proactive approach to cash management often reveals substantial amounts of underutilized funds that traditional advisors miss, creating significant additional revenue without increasing risk.
VALUE TO THE CITY: Our active management delivers measurable results—for the City of Cotati, we increased annual earnings from $297,000 to $491,000 despite ongoing capital expenditures. By activating previously idle funds, we generate substantial new revenue from assets the City already owns, delivering exceptional ROI on your advisory fee. This approach maximizes existing resources rather than requiring new funding sources.
CITY OF COALINGA’S INVESTMENT STRATEGY ANALYSIS
OIP completed a thorough review of the City of Coalinga’s cash balances from February 2025 bank statements. At that time, the investment portfolio had approximately $5.2 million invested with maturity dates within the year, approximately $1.4 million in LAIF, and approximately $2,600 in a money market account. The City had the remaining $26.3 million in a checking account. OIP recommends a more diversified laddering strategy to significantly reduce interest rate risk and create additional budgetary resiliency.
COALINGA'S INVESTMENT REVENUE OPPORTUNITY Based upon the City of Coalinga's estimated cash balance of $30 million and OIP's estimated checking account balance of $2 million, our investment strategies are projected to generate $1,092,000 in interest income over the next 12 months. We recommend allocating approximately 70% to long-term investments and 30% to shorter-term investments, to be confirmed through OIP’s detailed cash flow analysis. Given current interest rates as of May 27, 2025, and anticipated interest rate fluctuations, we conservatively estimate, we conservatively estimate the City can safely budget for $982,800 of the projected interest income of $1,092,000. This represents a $905,209 annual budgetary improvement from the City's Adopted Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Budget of $77,591 in Interest Earned, achieved through better utilization of existing assets.
Response to RFP for Investment Advisory Services
10 This comparison chart demonstrates the dramatic difference our approach can deliver for a City with approximately $30 million in total cash. Through our specialized cash flow modeling expertise, we can safely activate 93% of available funds compared to conventional advisors who typically ignore 30-50% of the cash balance due to outdated practices. Our comprehensive analysis identifies these untapped resources and puts them to work generating revenue without compromising safety or liquidity.
This isn't just an incremental improvement; it's a transformative approach that creates substantial new revenue streams without requiring tax increases, service cuts, or additional resources. By understanding the unique rhythms of municipal cash flows in ways conventional firms cannot, we unlock financial potential others consistently miss, delivering results that meaningfully impact your community's financial health for years to come.
STRATEGIC BENEFITS: The City of Coalinga currently holds $26.3 million in checking accounts earning minimal interest. The City’s substantial liquid position provides flexibility to implement an optimized investment strategy immediately. With the Federal Reserve signaling potential rate cuts ahead, current conditions present an opportune time to establish longer-term positions that can capture today's yields while providing protection against future rate declines. Without seizing this opportunity, the City is exposed to a high degree of interest rate risk.
OIP's laddering approach transforms idle cash into structured investments that provide predictable income streams while maintaining necessary liquidity for operations. This strategy creates portfolio stability that supports reliable budget planning regardless of changing market conditions.

OIP’s carefully calibrated maturity structure balances liquidity Response to RFP for Investment Advisory Services
13 requirements with risk management, ensuring your funds remain actively working for you for the maximum possible duration—transforming idle cash into productive assets that generate substantial returns without compromising operational needs.
12.Provide credit analysis of investment instruments in portfolio and the creditworthiness of financial institutions.
We focus on high-credit-quality investments to protect government funds. Our team conducts ongoing creditworthiness assessments of all financial institutions and securities in your portfolio, promptly identifying potential concerns before they impact portfolio safety.
13.Evaluate market risk and develop strategies that minimize the impact on the portfolio and maximize the portfolio's performance.
We assess market risks by calculating the probability of investment success and use a laddering strategy to manage interest rate fluctuations. We do not heavily rely upon interest-rate forecasting in our portfolio management strategy. Our laddering strategy aims to shield our clients from substantial declines in interest rates while enabling reinvestment in higher yields as rates increase.
14.Establish an appropriate performance benchmark.
OIP revolutionizes performance benchmarking by focusing on what truly matters: total investment revenue generation rather than relative index comparisons. While traditional advisors obsess over marginally outperforming the BofA Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year US Treasury Index, our approach recognizes that unlocking idle cash delivers far greater financial impact than small yield differentials. Performance benchmarks are less relevant than how much money is kept in the active portfolio. OIP advocates for a more client-specific benchmark aligned with the City’s investment policy, combining traditional benchmarking with a measurement of portfolio utilization, revealing opportunities that conventional advisors miss. The City’s investment policy will ultimately drive the risk tolerance and therefore a more meaningful and accurate assessment of the projected performance of the portfolio.
15.Provide advice and recommendations to buy and sell appropriate investment securities on non-discretionary basis.
OIP is available to provide non-discretionary investment advice, offering recommendations on security selection and timing while leaving final decisions in your hands. OIP will also provide investment advisory services on a discretionary basis.

14 16.Provide City with various other investment advisory services and education workshops as needed.
We are committed to providing ongoing education as part of our service package. OIP includes educational presentations to City staff, Council members, and committees to ensure everyone understands market conditions, investment strategies, and portfolio performance.
PRICING STRUCTURE
Provide a complete fee schedule, including flat fees, asset-based fees, hourly rates, and any reimbursable costs.
For the City of Coalinga, our fee is 0.10% (10 basis points) of assets under management (AUM), billed monthly. AUM encompasses all investments in custodial accounts, pooled accounts, and other investment-related accounts, excluding the City’s checking account balances. Our fee covers all advice related to investment portfolio management, investment reporting, compliance, investment policy updates, and virtual training/meetings, ensuring comprehensive guidance at no additional costs beyond the stated fee. There are no additional expenses or reimbursements except for travel costs if in-person meetings are requested.
Hourly rates do not apply to any of the work that our company performs within the scope of normal business. There are no additional expenses or reimbursements except for travel costs if in-person meetings are requested.
Our fee schedule below identifies the fee rate based upon the City’s anticipated portfolio size of $30 million.
OIP will submit an invoice calculated monthly with a statement provided (Example: $30 million ending balance would be invoiced at $28 million (excluding approximately $2 million from the City’s checking account) * 0.0010= $28,000/12 = $2,333 monthly). Fees are billed monthly based on the actual end-of-month AUM and will fluctuate accordingly to reflect the City’s real-time portfolio size.
Assets Under Management (AUM) Fee Rate
$20 Million to $34.9 Million 0.10% (10 bps)
Total Estimated Annual Fee $28,000
Response to RFP for Investment Advisory Services
15 Our AUM-based fee structure directly aligns our interests with the City’s financial success.
This model incentivizes OIP to actively manage your portfolio, minimize idle cash, and continuously optimize investment results. Unlike competitors who may utilize flat fees that can lead to outdated "set it and forget it" management styles, our compensation grows only when we successfully increase your actively invested funds and returns. This creates a true partnership where both the City and OIP benefit from diligent portfolio management and superior performance.

SCOPE OF SERVICES: OIP partnered with the City of Lemoore to optimize their investment strategy with investment advisory services. Initially, the City held $72 million in total cash, with only $18 million invested in LAIF, leaving $54 million in checking accounts. After our intervention, annual earnings increased from $774,000 to $3,500,000, achieving a yield to maturity of 4.86%.
RELEVANCE: This experience highlights our ability to significantly enhance investment returns for municipalities by utilizing uninvested cash, demonstrating our expertise in understanding the cash flow of public funds effectively.
IMPACT: By activating $54 million of idle funds, OIP transformed the City of Lemoore's investment performance, delivering a staggering 352% increase in annual earnings.
While the previous approach captured just 1.075% yield-to-maturity, our comprehensive portfolio management strategy achieved 4.86%, creating over $2.7 million in additional annual revenue while improving safety. This dramatic improvement directly strengthens the City's financial position, providing substantial new funding for essential services and infrastructure that benefits residents throughout the community.

SCOPE OF SERVICES: OIP partners with the City of Suisun City to deliver comprehensive investment advisory services tailored to their specific needs. When we first approached the City, they were contracted with a major competitor who had left $14 million in funds underutilized, costing the City over $700,000 in potential investment revenue. Our intervention began with a thorough comprehensive cash flow model analysis incorporating budgets, CIP projects, and historical cash data, which now enables the City to secure reliable investment income for years to come. We conduct annual investment policy reviews and updates to ensure optimal portfolio performance while maintaining strict regulatory compliance with all applicable government codes and standards. Through active cash management strategies, we maximize returns while preserving necessary liquidity. We provide educational presentations to keep stakeholders informed about market conditions and investment strategies. Throughout our partnership, we deliver transparent investment reports with accompanying staff reports and Board memorandums, ensuring complete visibility into the City's portfolio performance and management decisions.
RELEVANCE: Using our innovative cash flow modeling and deep municipal finance expertise, OIP nearly doubled Suisun City's active investment portfolio while maintaining necessary liquidity. Our approach optimizes public agency portfolios through strategic laddering that both generate higher returns and reduces interest rate risk. Unlike liquid pools, our strategy provides guaranteed revenue and budgetary certainty. The City Manager publicly described OIP as an industry disruptor at the City Council meeting approving our contract.
IMPACT: In March 2024, the City had approximately $50 million in total cash, with approximately $21 million actively invested and $18 million held in LAIF. Previously, the total portfolio was earning a yield to maturity of 3.36%. After OIP optimized the portfolio, the yield to maturity rose to 4.32% for the long-term portfolio and 5.37% on the short-term portfolio.

SCOPE OF SERVICES: OIP partners with the City of Cotati to deliver comprehensive investment advisory services tailored to their specific needs. The City has developed a robust capital improvement plan that involves spending down $12 million of their capital reserves. Our team completed a comprehensive cash flow model for each CIP project, enabling the City to optimize earnings while the capital reserves were being spent down, ensuring liquidity was available precisely when needed for progress payments. This strategic approach begins with thorough annual investment policy reviews and updates to ensure optimal portfolio performance while maintaining strict regulatory compliance with all applicable government codes and standards. Through active cash management strategies, we maximize returns without compromising the City's access to funds for planned expenditures. We provide regular educational presentations to keep City stakeholders informed about market conditions and investment strategies. Throughout our partnership, we deliver transparent investment reports with accompanying staff reports and Board memorandums, ensuring complete visibility into the City's portfolio performance and management decisions as they navigate their capital projects.
RELEVANCE: This example demonstrates our ability to maximize returns for capital project reserves by using our innovative cash flow modeling expertise and deep understanding of the inner workings of municipal finance operations.
IMPACT: In May 2023, the City had a total cash amount of $22 million, with only $255,000 actively invested and $15 million in LAIF. Before engaging with OIP, the City’s total portfolio earned $297,000 annually. After partnering with OIP, the City’s earnings surged to $491,000 annualized.

The economic market summary for Q1 2025 shows the unemployment rate increased to 4.2% from 4.1% in Q4 2024, while GDP growth has slowed significantly to 1.0% from 2.4% in Q4 due to mounting tariff-related price pressures. The Federal Reserve maintained the federal funds rate at a range of 4.25% to 4.5% as it continues to monitor inflation developments, and Treasury yields declined with the 5-year yield at 3.96% and the 2-year yield at 3.89%, reflecting market uncertainty and shifting growth expectations.
ECONOMIC MARKET UPDATE:
UNEMPLOYMENT: The unemployment rate increased to 4.2%, moving up from Q4 levels as the labor market adjusts to policy changes.
• Q1 2025: 4.2% (Bureau of Labor Statistics)
• Q4 2024: 4.1% (Bureau of Labor Statistics)
GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP): GDP decreases to an annualized rate of 1.0%, from 2.4% (revised) in Q4 2024. This sizable hit to growth is due to overwhelming tariff price pressures. • Q1 2025: 1.0% annualized growth (The Conference Boards) • Q4 2024: 2.4% annualized growth (US Bureau of Economic Analysis, revised) FEDERAL FUNDS EFFECTIVE RATE: The Federal Reserve Board of Governors remains attentive to the economic outlook. The Committee opted to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate of 4.25% to 4.5%. • Q1 2025: Federal funds rate maintained at a range of 4.25% to 4.5% (Federal Reserve, FOMC Statement) • Q4 2024: Federal funds rate reduced to a range of 4.25% to 4.5% (Federal Reserve, FOMC Statement) TREASURY YIELDS: Treasury yields declined, with the 5-year yield moving to 3.96% and the 2-year yield to 3.89%.
Uncertainty is a contributing factor in recent rate decreases. • Q1 2025: 5-year Treasury yield at 3.96%, 2-year Treasury yield at 3.89% (U.S. Department of the Treasury) • Q4 2024: 5-year Treasury yield at 4.38%, 2-year Treasury yield at 4.25% (U.S. Department of the Treasury) The City of Suisun City: Investment Report for The Quarter Ended March 31, 2025 15 MOST RECENT FEDERAL OPEN MARKET COMMITTEE (FOMC) MEETING SUMMARY: (Federal Reserve) At the March 19, 2025 meeting, the FOMC voted to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate to a range of 4.25% to 4.5%.
“Recent indicators suggest that economic activity has continued to expand at a solid pace. The unemployment rate has stabilized at a low level in recent months, and labor market conditions remain solid. Inflation remains somewhat elevated.
The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run.
Uncertainty around the economic outlook has increased. The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate.
In support of its goals, the Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 4-1/4 to 4-1/2 percent. In considering the extent and timing of additional adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will carefully assess incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks. The Committee will continue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities. Beginning in April, the Committee will slow the pace of decline of its securities holdings by reducing the monthly redemption cap on Treasury securities from $25 billion to $5 billion. The Committee will maintain the monthly redemption cap on agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities at $35 billion. The Committee is strongly committed to supporting maximum employment and returning inflation to its 2 percent objective.
In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee's goals. The Committee's assessments will take into account a wide range of information, including readings on labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and international developments.
Voting for the monetary policy action were Jerome H. Powell, Chair; John C. Williams, Vice Chair; Michael S. Barr; Michelle W. Bowman; Susan M. Collins; Lisa D. Cook; Austan D. Goolsbee; Philip N. Jefferson; Adriana D. Kugler; Alberto G.
Musalem; and Jeffrey R. Schmid. Voting against this action was Christopher J. Waller, who supported no change for the federal funds target range but preferred to continue the current pace of decline in securities holdings.” The City of Suisun City: Investment Report for The Quarter Ended March 31, 2025 16 COMPLIANCE

If you are registered or applying for registration with the SEC or reporting as an SEC exempt reporting adviser, and another SEC-registered adviser or SEC exempt reporting adviser reports this information with respect to any such private fund in Section
7.B.(1) of Schedule D of its Form ADV (e.g., if you are a subadviser), do not complete Section 7.B.(1) of Schedule D with respect to that private fund. You must, instead, complete Section 7.B.(2) of Schedule D.
In either case, if you seek to preserve the anonymity of a private fund client by maintaining its identity in your books and records in numerical or alphabetical code, or similar designation, pursuant to rule 204-2(d), you may identify the private fund in Section 7.B.(1) or 7.B.(2) of Schedule D using the same code or designation in place of the fund's name.

Item 11 Disclosure Information
In this Item, we ask for information about your disciplinary history and the disciplinary history of all your advisory affiliates. We use this information to determine whether to grant your application for registration, to decide whether to revoke your registration or to place limitations on your activities as an investment adviser, and to identify potential problem areas to focus on during our on-site examinations. One event may result in "yes" answers to more than one of the questions below. In accordance with General Instruction 5 to Form ADV, "you" and "your" include the filing adviser and all relying advisers under an umbrella registration.
Your advisory affiliates are: (1) all of your current employees (other than employees performing only clerical, administrative, support or similar functions); (2) all of your officers, partners, or directors (or any person performing similar functions); and (3) all persons directly or indirectly controlling you or controlled by you.
If you are a "separately identifiable department or division" (SID) of a bank, see the Glossary of Terms to determine who your advisory affiliates are.
If you are registered or registering with the SEC or if you are an exempt reporting adviser, you may limit your disclosure of any event listed in Item 11 to ten years following the date of the event. If you are registered or registering with a state, you must respond to the questions as posed; you may, therefore, limit your disclosure to ten years following the date of an event only in responding to Items 11.A.(1), 11.A.(2), 11.B.(1), 11.B.(2), 11.D.(4), and 11.H.(1)(a).

The SEC is required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act to consider the effect of its regulations on small entities. In order to do this, we need to determine whether you meet the definition of "small business" or "small organization" under rule 0-7.
Answer this Item 12 only if you are registered or registering with the SEC and you indicated in response to Item 5.F.(2)(c) that you have regulatory assets under management of less than $25 million. You are not required to answer this Item 12 if you are filing for initial registration as a state adviser, amending a current state registration, or switching from SEC to state registration.
For purposes of this Item 12 only:
Total Assets refers to the total assets of a firm, rather than the assets managed on behalf of clients. In determining your or another person's total assets, you may use the total assets shown on a current balance sheet (but use total assets reported on a consolidated balance sheet with subsidiaries included, if that amount is larger).
Control means the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of a person, whether through ownership of securities, by contract, or otherwise. Any person that directly or indirectly has the right to vote 25 percent or more of the voting securities, or is entitled to 25 percent or more of the profits, of another person is presumed to control the other person.
Yes No
A. Did you have total assets of $5 million or more on the last day of your most recent fiscal year? If "yes," you do not need to answer Items 12.B. and 12.C.
B. Do you:

BUSINESS_____________________________________________________________ ITEM 4A: FIRM OVERVIEW
Optimized Investment Partners, LLC. (“Optimized”) is an SEC registered investment adviser with its principal place of business located in Encinitas, California. Founded in April 2022, Optimized will provide discretionary and non-discretionary fixed income investment advisory services to California local agencies and municipalities within the public sector.
Listed below are the firm's principal shareholders (i.e., those individuals and/or entities controlling 25% or more of this company).
• David Bilby, CEO
ITEM 4B: TYPES OF ADVISORY SERVICES
Optimized offers the following advisory services, where appropriate, to public agencies in the state of California. The portfolio management services are offered to clients directly.
FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Optimized specializes in fixed income portfolio management, utilizing a variety of investments as listed in California government code section 53600. Please refer to Item 8 for further information on our method of analysis and risks associated with this strategy.
CONSULTING SERVICES
Optimized also provides more focused consulting services and advice to clients. This may include, but is not limited to, specific investment advice, investment policy review, financial analysis, cash-flow modeling, and many other areas of governmental financial management and administration.
ITEM 4C: TAILORING ADVISORY SERVICES OFFERED DIRECTLY TO CLIENTS Prior to engaging in discussions with a prospective client, a thorough review is done of the agency’s financial statements and investment policy to determine overall financial health and position. A determination is made if our tailored advisory services could benefit the agency. Upon initial contact with the prospective client, we discuss their investment policy and investment goals, and confirm that our selected approach meets their current needs. A preliminary summary of recommendations is provided prior to engaging in contractual services. Upon contract execution, our initial investment model for the agency is completed. We customize the model as appropriate, based upon the client’s individual objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, and any investment restrictions they may want to place on the assets in their account. As a part of our service, we provide financial and investment education to the elected officials, executive staff, and finance staff to ensure all parties are working together towards the desired outcome. Clients are responsible for informing us of any changes to their guidelines, individual needs and/or restrictions and should do so promptly upon such change.
We do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy of the information provided by the client.
Generally, we manage clients’ advisory accounts on a non-discretionary basis but will manage a client’s account on a discretionary basis, if requested by a client. Please refer to Item 16 for further information on our discretionary authority of client accounts. Please refer to Item 8 for further information on the 6 risks associated with investments made in clients’ accounts. Clients will retain individual ownership of all securities at all times through their selected custodian.
ITEM 4D: SERVICES OFFERED THROUGH WRAP FEE PROGRAMS
Optimized does not currently participate in wrap fee programs. This brochure will be updated if participation in wrap fee programs is considered in the future.
ITEM 4E: ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT
As of the date of this amendment filing (1/27/25), Optimized Investment Partners has approximately $383,000,000 in assets under management.
ITEM 5 FEES AND COMPENSATION_______________________________________________________ ITEM 5A: FEE SCHEDULES
The annual fee for client accounts is charged as a percentage of assets under management, according to the following schedules:
Fixed Income Portfolio Management for Institutional Accounts Assets Under Management Annual Asset Management Fee
A maximum of 0.25 of 1% (25 basis points) per year, billed monthly pro-rata. (IE. AUM $3 million = $7,500 annually, $625 monthly)
A minimum of $1.5 million in assets under management is required for this service. Optimized reserves the right to negotiate alternative minimum account size and fees on a case-by-case basis. Optimized will aggregate certain related client accounts for the purposes of achieving the minimum account size and determining the annualized fee.
Optimized’s fees for clients are typically paid monthly, in arrears, but can vary based on the terms of the governing agreements.
CONSULTING SERVICES FEES
Optimized's Consulting Services fees will be determined based on the nature of the services being provided and the complexity of each client’s circumstances. All fees are agreed upon prior to entering a contract with any client. Optimized’s Consulting Services fees are calculated in one or both of two ways:
1. On a fixed fee basis, subject to the specific arrangement reached with the client; and/or 2. On an hourly basis, ranging up to $350.00 per hour. An estimate for the total hours is determined at the start of the consulting relationship. The length of time it will take to complete Consulting Services will depend on the scope and terms of the engagement. Fees are due and payable upon completion of the Consulting Service or on an agreed upon payment schedule. There is no minimum fee for Optimized’s Consulting Services. A typical flat fee range for consulting services will be between $1,000 and $5,000.
Pre-existing advisory clients are subject to Optimized's minimum account requirements and advisory fees in effect at the time the client entered the advisory relationship. Therefore, our firm's minimum account requirements and advisory fees differ among clients. 7 Advisory Fees in General: Clients should note that similar advisory services may or may not be available from other registered investment advisers for similar or lower fees. Optimized’s clients are not required to pay any start-up or closing fees; there are no penalty fees.
Termination of the Advisory Relationship: A client agreement between a client and Optimized may be canceled at any time, by either party, for any reason upon receipt of 30 day’s written notice.
Fee Calculation: Optimized’s annual advisory fee is billed monthly or in some instances quarterly, in arrears, and is calculated based on the average market value of a client's account for the billing period, including accrued interest unless indicated otherwise in the client agreement. Typically, the market value is taken from the monthly custodian account statements. Demand deposit cash (checking account) is not included in the total market value calculation unless noted otherwise in the client agreement. We will value securities or investments in the portfolio in a manner determined in good faith to reflect fair market value. Optimized uses an independent third-party pricing source to value client securities.
Limited Negotiability of Advisory Fees: Although Optimized has established the aforementioned fee schedule(s), we retain the discretion to negotiate alternative fees on a case-by-case basis. Client facts, circumstances and needs will be considered in determining the fee schedule. These include the complexity of the client, the assets to be placed under management, the anticipated future additional assets; the existence of any related accounts; portfolio style, account composition, reports, among other factors. The specific annual fee schedule will be identified in the written agreement between Optimized and each client. We group certain related client accounts for the purposes of achieving the minimum account size requirements and determining the annual advisory fee. Such rates are not available to all Optimized’s advisory clients.
ITEM 5B: FEE PAYMENT
Optimized provides invoices to our clients monthly for their advisory fees. Clients issue checks or ACH payment for services rendered.
ITEM 5C: OTHER FEES AND EXPENSES AND VALUATION POLICY
Mutual Fund Fees: All fees paid to Optimized for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds and/or ETFs to their shareholders. The fees and expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs are described in each fund's prospectus. These fees will generally include a management fee, other fund expenses, 12b-1 fees and possible distribution or redemption fees. If the fund also imposes sales charges, a client may pay an initial or deferred sales charge. A client could invest in a mutual fund directly, without our services. In that case, the client would not receive the services provided by our firm which are designed, among other things, to assist the client in determining which mutual fund or funds are most appropriate to each client's financial condition and objectives. Importantly, clients should review both the fees charged by mutual funds and ETFs and our fees to fully understand the total amount of fees to be paid by the client and to thereby evaluate the advisory services being provided. Optimized is not affiliated with any mutual funds or ETFs, does not share in the fees charged by mutual funds and ETFs, does not participate in the investment decisions regarding the portfolios of mutual funds and ETFs and is not liable regarding such investments. 8 The fees and related expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs can be found in the respective fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information, which should be read carefully before investing.
Short Term Idle Cash Investment:
For discretionary clients, Optimized may move some or all the non-invested cash in a client’s account to a money market mutual fund that may generate an interest return. If the cash is invested through a mutual fund, there may be times when an affiliate of the client’s custodian may be the manager of such fund and would receive separate management fees from the mutual fund. Optimized is not affiliated with any such custodian, does not share in that fee, does not participate in the investment decisions of the mutual fund portfolio and is not liable regarding such investments.
Custodian and Broker Fees and Expenses:
In addition to our advisory fees, clients are also responsible for the fees and expenses charged by custodians and imposed by broker-dealers, including, but not limited to, any transaction charges imposed by a broker-dealer that effects transactions for the client's account(s). Please refer to the "Brokerage Practices" section (Item 12) of this Brochure for additional information. From time to time, Optimized recommends a custodian to clients who do not have an existing custodial relationship established. Among others, Optimized generally recommends Union Bank, Bank of New York/Mellon, US Bank, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, or Charles Schwab & Co. Optimized does not receive any compensation from the custodians we refer to our clients. The rates offered will depend on the size of the assets or type of account. Clients retain full discretionary authority over the selection of the custodian to be used.
Valuation Policy: For all publicly traded securities held in clients’ accounts, Optimized receives daily prices electronically from a third-party provider, which are reviewed internally on a monthly basis by designated investment personnel. When it is believed that the price provided is not correct or for times when the third party does not provide a price, Optimized will obtain pricing from a different third-party pricing source. Optimized maintains detailed written policies and procedures regarding valuation of clients’ securities, which includes among other things, a list of approved third-party pricing vendors used by Optimized and reviews of price changes by the CEO and COO.
ITEM 5D: PREPAID FEES
Limited Prepayment of Fees: Optimized does not anticipate collecting fees in advance of services being rendered. Under no circumstances do we require or solicit payment of fees in excess of $500 more than six months in advance of services rendered.
ITEM 5E: COMPENSATION FOR THE SALE OF SECURITIES OR INVESTMENT PRODUCTS Optimized is not affiliated with any broker-dealers or mutual fund companies, and therefore we do not receive any compensation for the purchase or sale of securities or investment products used in client accounts.
ITEM 6 PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT________________________ Optimized does not charge performance-based fees (i.e., fees calculated based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the client’s assets or any portion of the client’s assets). Consequently, 9 we do not engage in side-by-side management of accounts that are charged a performance-based fee with accounts that are charged another type of fee (such as assets under management) ITEM 7 TYPES OF CLIENTS________________________________________________________________ Optimized will provide advisory services to the following types of clients:
• Local government entities
• Special districts (water, fire, etc.)
• Healthcare institutions
• Higher education institutions
Optimized will typically only manage clients’ accounts with minimum assets of $5 million. Exceptions can be made based upon client specific information and the nature of the service(s) being provided.
ITEM 8 METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS____________________ ITEM 8A: METHODS OF ANALYSIS & INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Optimized uses all or any combination of the following methods of analysis in formulating our investment advice and/or managing client assets:
• Cash-Flow Modeling. The client types that we serve have particular cash-flow characteristics. By modeling the cash flows of the client, we attempt to maximize the amount of cash that can be invested without sacrificing safety of principal or availability of liquidity as needed. Optimized creates a custom cash flow model for each client to support our investment analysis and portfolio modeling services. A risk of this method of analysis is the client can spend beyond their documented budget and therefore run into liquidity issues if the amounts are materially different than the cash flow model and related recommendations. A significant amount of surplus liquidity is included in our portfolio recommendations. • Technical Analysis. We analyze past market movements and yield spreads to identify specific investment opportunities authorized by our clients’ investment policies. By combining technical analysis with fundamental analysis, we can advise on sectors that the market is currently pricing outside of historical norms.
• Quantitative Analysis. We use a combination of sensitivity analysis and statistical testing that utilizes mathematical analysis to estimate the probability of success of a variety of investment recommendations over time. The results of our quantitative analysis are taken into consideration in the decision to buy or sell securities and in the management of portfolio characteristics. A risk in using quantitative analysis is that the methods or models used may be based on assumptions that prove to be incorrect.
• Fundamental Analysis. We attempt to measure the intrinsic value of a security or a market sector by looking at broad economic and financial factors (including the overall economy, industry conditions, and the market’s valuation of the security or market sector) to identify securities or market sectors that we believe are fairly valued or undervalued. Fundamental analysis does not attempt to anticipate market movements. This presents a potential risk, as the 10 price of a security can move up or down along with the overall market regardless of the economic and financial factors considered in evaluating the security. • Qualitative Analysis. We use qualitative analysis to evaluate individual securities, focusing on other non-quantifiable factors, such as rating agency sentiment, that are not readily subject to measurement, and incorporate this analysis into our security selection process. A risk in using qualitative analysis is that our subjective judgment may prove incorrect. • Asset Allocation. Fixed income portfolios for California public agencies have different risk characteristics than individual investors. With the investment time horizon restricted to a maximum of five years, we use the various analysis techniques mentioned above to allocate assets in a way that keeps preservation of capital as first priority, while also supplying liquidity as needed and maximizing yield within these constraints. We generally focus on identifying an appropriate allocation of securities, maturities, market sectors, and yield curve positioning suitable for the client’s investment goals and risk tolerance. A risk of asset allocation is that the allocation will change over time due to market movements in the various sectors, which, if not corrected, may no longer be appropriate for the client’s goals.
Risks for all forms of analysis
Our securities analysis methods rely on the assumption that the companies whose securities we purchase and sell as well as other purchased or publicly available sources of information about these securities are providing accurate and unbiased data. While we are alert to indications that data may be incorrect, there is always a risk that our analysis may be compromised by inaccurate or misleading information.
FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT STRATEGIES We believe that a conservative, risk-controlled approach to fixed income management will provide both steady incremental outperformance and low relative volatility.
The disciplined process we employ to realize this philosophy is generally grounded in three key principles:
• Cash-flow modeling to identify available cash for investments • Strategic allocations to key sectors to add value
• Invest in maturities that allow for greater yield without sacrificing safety or liquidity.
Our investment recommendations assume clients’ holds securities until maturity. A risk of this approach is market interest rates may change, resulting in a fair market value loss to the client.
ITEM 8B: MATERIAL RISKS
Risk of Loss. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear.
Securities investments are not guaranteed, and a client may lose money on their investments. We ask that each client work with us to help us understand their tolerance for risk. Investors should be aware that investment prices fluctuate as the securities are affected by economic and other factors. As a result, the value of your investment may increase or decrease. Bonds held to maturity will return the full par or 11 face value amount to the bondholder at maturity (absent a default); however, those sold prior to maturity are subject to gain or loss depending on the market price at the time of sale.
For risks specific to a particular method of analysis or investment strategy, please see Item 8A above.
For risks specific to a particular type of security, please see Item 8C below.
ITEM 8C: RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PARTICULAR TYPES OF SECURITIES USED
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FIXED INCOME SECURITIES
Optimized specializes in investment grade fixed income portfolio management. Despite the generally conservative nature of many fixed income investments, there are a variety of risks associated with fixed income investing. Fixed income securities represent monies lent by investors to corporate and government institutions. Risks vary according to the type of fixed income investment purchased along with the general level of interest rates in the economy. The risks commonly associated with fixed income securities are:
• Market Risk: The price of the security may drop in reaction to tangible and intangible events and conditions. This type of risk is caused by external factors independent of a security’s particular underlying circumstances.
• Interest Rate Risk: The risk that the value of an interest-bearing investment will change due to changes in the general level of interest rates in the market. The market value of a bond fluctuates inversely to the change in interest rates; that is, as interest rates rise, bond prices fall and vice versa. Interest rate risk is commonly measured by a bond’s duration, the greater a bond’s duration, the greater the impact on price of a change in interest rates. Investors may incur a gain or loss from bonds sold prior to the final maturity date. • Credit Risk: The risk that principal and/or interest on a fixed income investment will not be paid in a timely manner or in full due to changes in the financial condition of the issuer. Generally, the higher the perceived credit risk, the higher the rate of interest investors will receive on their investment. Many bonds are rated by a third party Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO), for example, Moody’s Investor Services or Standard & Poor’s Inc. While ratings may assist investors to determine the creditworthiness of the issuer, they are not a guarantee of performance.
• Reinvestment Risk: The risk that interest and principal payments from a bond will be reinvested at a lower yield than that received on the original bond. During periods of declining interest rates, bond payments may be invested at lower rates; during periods of rising rates, bond payments may be invested at higher rates.
• Call Risk: The risk that a bond will be called by its issuer. A callable bond has a provision which allows the issuer to purchase the bond back from the bondholders at a predetermined price.
Generally, issuers call bonds when prevailing rates are lower than the cost of the outstanding bond. Call provisions allow an issuer to retire high-rate bonds on a predefined call schedule. 12 • Prepayment Risk: Some types of bonds are subject to prepayment risk. Similar to call risk, prepayment risk is the risk that the issuer of a security will repay principal prior to the bond’s maturity date, thereby changing the expected payment schedule of the bonds. Prepayment risk is particularly prevalent in the mortgage-backed bond market, where a decline in interest rates can trigger loan holders to pre-pay their mortgages. When investors in a bond comprised of the underlying pool of mortgages receives his or her principal back sooner than expected, they may be forced to reinvest at prevailing, lower rates.
• Liquidity Risk: The risk stemming from the lack of marketability of an investment that cannot be bought or sold quickly enough to prevent or minimize a loss. Liquidity risk is typically reflected in a wide bid-ask spread or large price movements.
• Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will not buy as much as a dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation. • Opportunity Cost Risk: The risk that an investor may forego profits or returns from other investments.

Optimized and our personnel owe a fiduciary duty towards our clients and have an obligation to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code of Ethics but to the general principles that guide the Code.
Our Code of Ethics includes specific administrative policies and procedures to ensure appropriate checks and balances and internal controls aimed at preventing conflicts of interest and promoting transparency and fairness towards our clients. Our Code also provides for oversight, enforcement, and recordkeeping provisions.
Optimized's Code of Ethics further includes the firm's policy prohibiting the use of material non-public information. While we do not believe that we have any access to non-public information, all employees are periodically reminded that such information may not be used in a personal or professional capacity.
Our Code of Ethics is distributed to all supervised persons of Optimized whenever revisions are made, and not less frequently than annually. Upon receipt, all employees are required to provide a written acknowledgement and attestation of their intent to abide by Optimized’s Code provisions.

ITEM 11C: PERSONAL TRADING
Optimized and/or individuals associated with our firm can from time to time, buy or sell for their personal accounts, securities identical to or different from those recommended to our clients. In addition, any related person(s) could potentially have an interest or position in a security(ies) which may also be recommended to a client.

ITEM 11D: PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS Optimized does not participate or take a financial interest in client transactions. Optimized employees and officers will not participate in trades for our clients. Any individual employee trading will be done separate of business activities.
ITEM 12 BROKERAGE PRACTICES_________________________________________________________ 14 ITEM 12A: BROKER-DEALER SELECTION, COMPENSATION & TRADE AGGREGATION
FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Optimized requires discretionary clients to provide us with written authority to determine broker-dealer selection and commission costs that will be charged to these clients for transactions placed in their account(s). Broker-dealers are selected by Optimized based on best execution, which is a combination of most favorable price and the quality of execution. In selecting a broker to execute a transaction for a client, Optimized considers a variety of other factors, including (but not limited to) the following:
• the broker-dealer's market access;
• the nature of the security or instrument being traded; • the size and type of transaction;
• the nature and character of the markets for the security or instrument to be purchased or sold; • the desired timing of the transaction;
• the execution, clearance, and settlement capabilities of the broker-dealer selected; • the reputation and perceived soundness of the broker-dealer; • Optimized's knowledge of any actual or apparent operational problems with the broker-dealer; and the reasonableness of the commission for specific transactions.
While Optimized generally seeks competitive commission rates and dealer spreads, it may not necessarily pay the lowest commission. Transactions may involve specialized services on the part of the broker-dealer and thereby justify higher commissions than would be the case with other transactions requiring more routine services.
Regarding commission rates paid, Optimized’s fixed income transactions are generally executed by the broker-dealer on a net basis, which means the execution costs (e.g., commissions) are included in the purchase or sale price of the security.
ITEM 12A.1: RESEARCH AND OTHER SOFT DOLLAR BENEFITS
Optimized does not enter third party soft dollar arrangements.
Soft dollars generally refer to arrangements whereby a discretionary investment adviser is allowed to pay for and receive research, research-related or execution services from a broker-dealer or third-party provider, in addition to the execution of transactions, in exchange for the brokerage commissions from transactions for client accounts.
ITEM 12A.2: BROKERAGE FOR CLIENT REFERRALS
Optimized does not direct brokerage in exchange for client referrals.
ITEM 12A.3: DIRECTED BROKERAGE
Optimized does not accept advisory clients’ instructions for directing client’s brokerage transactions.
Optimized recommends to clients’ that they keep an up-to-date approved broker list. For discretionary clients, Optimized will select the recommended investments from the best overall broker for that specific investment.
ITEM 12B: AGGREGATING CLIENT TRADES
15 Optimized does aggregate or “block” trades when advantageous to our clients. This blocking of trades permits the trading of aggregate blocks of securities composed of assets from multiple client accounts so long as transaction costs are shared equally and on a pro-rata (or other fair and reasonable) basis between all accounts included in any such block. Block trading may allow us to execute trades in a timelier, more equitable manner, at a better overall price.
ITEM 13 ACCOUNT REVIEWS____________________________________________________________ ITEM 13A: PERIODIC ACCOUNT REVIEWS
FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Optimized does a thorough review of all client accounts quarterly. Economic and market conditions are monitored daily including fluctuations in interest rates and material changes to the fixed income securities markets.

At the August 15, 2024 meeting, the City Council discussed the need to revise the City’s Code of Conduct to include a clear and standardized process for filling vacancies on the City Council. This was in response to a Future Agenda Item request submitted by Councilmember Vosburg.

Describes Council deliberation and voting protocols for candidate appointments Additionally, Mayor Vosburg requested an agenda item to further examine the rights and duties of Councilmembers and other elected positions, and to ensure that the Council’s procedures are consistent with Robert’s Rules of Order, the Brown Act, and overall governance efficiency.
The City Attorney has reviewed these items and provided supporting documents and draft language addressing:
Councilmember rights and limitations (including proceduralefficiency and ethical standards) Brown Act compliance for public meetings
Clarification of the legaland functional separation between the elected City Treasurer and appointed Finance Director
All proposed language updates have been incorporated into the draft documents attached to this report for Council review.
III. DISCUSSION:

The changes addressing consistency with Robert’s Rules of Order and the Brown Act have been incorporated into the Code of Conduct and are attached for Council’s review.

City Treasurer vs. Finance Director
The City Attorney conducted an extensive analysis comparing the statutory duties of the elected City Treasurer with those of the Finance Director, as defined in Government Code and local ordinance. Based on this review:
The Treasurer's role is primarily oversight-based, focusing on monthly financial reports and investment policy compliance
The Finance Director is responsible for the day-to-day financial operations of the City The Treasurer shall not perform duties of the Finance Director, as explicitly prohibited in Municipal Code Section 2-1.501.

4. Application Review
A standardized application review process ensures fairness and consistency in evaluating candidates.
Application Completeness:
• All applications submitted will be reviewed by the City Manager to ensure they are complete and meet the stated eligibility criteria.
• All candidates who completed the application in full, and are in good standing, shall be provided to the City Council.
Verifying Applicant Standing:
• The City Manager shall verify that applicants are in good standing with the city. This may involve checking for outstanding fines, code violations, or any legal issues that might affect their ability to serve on a committee or commission.
5. Interview & Nomination Process of Candidates:
Interview Order:
• To avoid any perception of bias, the order in which candidates are interviewed should be randomly selected prior to the meeting. This can be done using a random number generator or drawing names from a hat.
Time Allotment:
• Allocate an equal amount of time for each interview to ensure fairness. The specific time allotted will depend on the number of candidates and the complexity of the committee or commission's responsibilities. The default time per candidate shall be 15 minutes total.
Interview Format:
• Candidate Statement: Each candidate may make a 3-minute opening statement to explain their interest and expertise or desire to serve.
• Standardized Questions: Following the Candidate Statement, Council may ask any questions. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the order of questions shall proceed with the Mayor, Vice Mayor, and then to the Vice Mayor’s left across the dais until all questions are completed. These questions should be relevant to the committee or commission's purpose and responsibilities and may assess the candidate’s experience, knowledge, and commitment to public service. In fairness, only one question at a time may be asked with reasonable short follow-up or clarifying questions.
6. Final Selection
Council Deliberation:
• After all interviews are conducted, the city council should deliberate publicly to discuss the qualifications of each candidate.
• Only those receiving a nomination from a Councilperson will be considered for a vote.
Voting Procedure:
• All nominations are considered together. This allows for a comprehensive comparison of all nominees.
• No second confirming nomination is required. A single nomination is sufficient to put a candidate forward for consideration.
• Council members discuss the qualifications of each nominee. This deliberation should be conducted in a public meeting, allowing for transparency and public input. • A vote is then taken on each nominee individually. Nominees shall be voted upon in the order of their interview. Candidates who were interviewed but did not receive a nomination shall not be voted upon. This ensures that each nominee receives proper consideration and avoids potential biases that could arise from bloc voting. • Simple majority vote: The first nominee who receives more than half of the confirmation votes is appointed. If multiple vacancies exist, the voting may continue.
The Rights and Responsibilities of a City Councilperson in California The rights and responsibilities of a city councilperson in California are derived from various sources, including:
● California Government Code: The California Government Code provides a framework for the organization and operation of city governments, including the roles and responsibilities of city council members.
● Local Ordinances: Cities may enact ordinances that further define the rights and responsibilities of city council members.
● Case Law: Court decisions interpret and clarify the laws and regulations governing city council members.
City council members have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the city and its residents. Their primary responsibilities include:
● Policymaking: Enacting ordinances and resolutions to address local issues and provide for the health, safety, and welfare of the community. For example, the council may adopt ordinances regulating land use, traffic, or public safety. ● Budgeting: Approving and overseeing the city's budget, ensuring responsible allocation of public funds. This includes setting priorities for spending and ensuring that the city's finances are managed effectively.
● Oversight: Monitoring the performance of city departments and holding city staff accountable for implementing council policies. This may involve reviewing reports, conducting hearings, and making inquiries to ensure that city services are delivered efficiently and effectively. ● Appointments: Appointing members to boards, commissions, and committees that advise the council on various matters. These bodies may provide expertise on issues such as planning, transportation, or public safety.
● Representation: Representing the interests of their constituents and advocating for their needs. This includes listening to concerns, responding to inquiries, and working to address issues that affect the community.
Limitations on Council authority include:
● Acting Individually: Council members generally cannot act individually on behalf of the city4.
Decisions must be made collectively by the council as a whole at duly noticed public meetings4. This principle is crucial to ensure transparency and accountability in local government.
● Interfering with Administration: Council members should not interfere with the day-to-day administration of city affairs, which is typically the responsibility of the city manager. Their role is to set policy, not to manage individual employees or departments. ● Giving Orders to Employees: Council members should not give direct orders to city employees. All instructions should be channeled through the city manager to maintain a clear chain of command and avoid confusion or conflicts.
● Conflicts of Interest: Council members must avoid conflicts of interest and refrain from using their positions for personal gain. For example, a council member who owns property that would be affected by a zoning decision should recuse themselves from voting on that matter.
Best Practices for Council Members
● Attend Training: Newly elected council members should attend training sessions to learn about their roles and responsibilities. These sessions may cover topics such as the Brown Act, the city's budget process, and ethical considerations. ● Consult with City Attorney: Council members should consult with the city attorney for legal advice on any matters related to their duties. This is essential to ensure that their actions comply with the law and to avoid potential liability.
● Adhere to Ethical Standards: Council members should maintain high ethical standards and avoid even the appearance of impropriety. This includes being honest and transparent in their dealings with the public and avoiding any actions that could be perceived as conflicts of interest.
● Communicate with Constituents: Council members should actively communicate with their constituents and seek their input on important issues6. This can be done through town hall meetings, community forums, and regular communication channels such as newsletters or social media.
● Work Collaboratively: Council members should work collaboratively with other council members and city staff to achieve common goals. This includes respecting diverse viewpoints, engaging in constructive dialogue, and finding common ground to address community needs.

STAFF REPORT - CITY COUNCIL/SUCCESSOR AGENCY/PUBLIC FINANCE
AUTHORITY
Subject: Discussion, Direction and PotentialAction related to Imposing a Vacancy Tax or Vacancy Fee on Commercial Properties
Meeting Date: Thursday, July 17, 2025
From: Sean Brewer, Interim City Manager
Prepared by: Sean Brewer, Interim City Manager
I. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive this report on commercial building vacancy taxes/fees and provide direction on whether to pursue the development of a vacancy tax or fee policy for commercial properties that remain unoccupied for extended periods. This was a future agenda item requested by Councilman Schindler.
II. BACKGROUND:
The City of Coalinga, like many other communities, has experienced prolonged commercial vacancies in key areas of town. Extended vacancies can contribute to urban blight, reduce economic activity, lower property values, and deter new investment. In response, various cities have implemented vacancy taxes or fees to discourage property owners from leaving commercial properties vacant and to encourage productive use of realestate.
III. DISCUSSION:
Purpose of a Vacancy Tax or Fee
Vacancy taxes or fees serve as tools to address the negative impacts of prolonged commercial building vacancies. Their primary purpose is to reduce visible deterioration and urban blight, particularly in key business corridors. By financially incentivizing property owners to lease or sell underutilized spaces, such measures can stimulate localeconomic activity and discourage speculative holding of properties. Additionally, revenue generated from such taxes or fees can be reinvested into community development or revitalization efforts.
Common Policy Structures
Policies addressing commercial vacancies differ in structure but commonly involve either a flat fee or a scaled tax based on the size, assessed value, or duration of the vacancy. Some cities implement graduated penalties that increase the longer a property remains unoccupied. Many ordinances include reasonable exemptions for properties undergoing active renovation, those on the market for sale or lease, or those owned by nonprofit organizations or facing documented financial hardship.
Definition and Enforcement
Jurisdictions typically define “vacant” as a commercial building that remains unoccupied for a period of six to twelve consecutive months. To monitor and enforce these requirements, cities often mandate property owners register vacant buildings annually. Enforcement mechanisms may include property inspections, documentation of marketing efforts, fines for non-compliance, and reporting requirements to ensure accurate data collection and policy effectiveness. The City currently requires registration of vacant properties but only “residential” foreclosed properties owned by institutions. This regulation was established as part of state mandates during the recession and significant increase in foreclosures on 2008.The City can update the code to address vacant commercial properties if the council so chooses.
Examples from Other Cities
Severalcities have implemented successfulcommercial vacancy tax programs. For example, San Francisco adopted a commercial vacancy tax in 2020 for properties left vacant for more than six months, with proceeds supporting small business assistance. Oakland applies a similar tax to both commercialand residential vacancies, using the funds to address homelessness and neighborhood blight. Vancouver, British Columbia, introduced an “Empty Homes Tax” that applies to both residentialand commercial properties to increase availability and reduce speculative vacancies.
Statewide Proposal: California SB-789
A statewide proposal, Senate Bill 789, would impose a $5/sq ft annual tax on commercial properties vacant for 182 days or more. The billaims to apply broadly across office, retail, industrial, and warehouse sectors (excluding residential portions of mixed-use buildings), with revenue directed to the “Dream for All” fund for first-time homebuyers. Currently, Senate Bill 789 remains under consideration and has not yet been enacted.
Pros and Cons
The benefits of a vacancy tax or fee include encouraging reinvestment in vacant properties, increasing economic activity, and generating dedicated funding for public benefit. However, these policies do present challenges, such as the cost and complexity of implementation and enforcement. Additionally, some property owners may oppose the measure, particularly if they are struggling due to economic conditions or other legitimate hardships. Therefore, such policies must be carefully crafted to balance effectiveness with fairness.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
Pursue a commercial vacancy tax, assessed annually based on duration of vacancy, square footage, or property value.
Implement a flat vacancy fee, applied uniformly to properties that remain vacant beyond a specified period.
Establish a registration and monitoring program requiring owners of vacant commercial buildings to register annually with the City.
Define the vacancy threshold, such as 6 or 12 consecutive months of non-occupancy, to trigger enforcement or penalties.
Identify exemptions for certain properties, such as those undergoing active renovation, listed for lease or sale, or facing financial hardship.
Develop an enforcement mechanism, which may include inspections, fines, or annual reporting requirements.
Conduct stakeholder outreach to property owners, business operators, and realestate professionals to gather input and improve policy design.
Coordinate a legal review to ensure any proposed program complies with California state law and avoids unintended legal or financialconsequences.
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
Implementing a commercial vacancy tax, fee, or registration program would involve both costs and potential revenue. On the expense side, the City could incur administrative costs related to staff time, system development, inspections, enforcement, public outreach, and legal review. These efforts would require coordination across departments and possibly the creation or adaptation of software to track vacant properties and manage compliance.
In terms of revenue, a vacancy tax or fee could generate a new income stream that may be used to support economic development, code enforcement, or small business programs. If structured appropriately, the program could also recover its administrative costs through the revenues collected. Over time, reducing commercial vacancies may lead to broader economic benefits, including increased property values and enhanced sales tax generation as more spaces become occupied and active.
However, there are also potential risks to consider. Property owners may challenge the policy, requiring additional legal resources, and some may delay reinvestment or oppose the program, affecting short-term revenue expectations. These fiscal impacts should be carefully evaluated in conjunction with the program’s goals and overall design.

STAFF REPORT - CITY COUNCIL/SUCCESSOR AGENCY/PUBLIC FINANCE
AUTHORITY
Subject: Council Consideration of Project Scope, Cost and Council Selection of Tree Well Color for Elm Avenue Tree Well Replacement Project
Meeting Date: Thursday, July 17, 2025
From: Sean Brewer, Interim City Manager
Prepared by: Sean Brewer, Interim City Manager
I. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council select “Cypress” (or equivalent) as the color for the new porous pavement tree wells along Elm Avenue. This recommendation is based on compatibility with the selected vendor’s offerings and alignment with the overall streetscape aesthetic. However, the Council may choose an alternate color that reflects local identity.
II. BACKGROUND:
The City of Coalinga is advancing the Elm Avenue Tree Well Replacement Project between 7th Street and Van Ness Street. The project scope includes:
Removal of 58 existing metal tree grates (by City crews) Preparation and replacement of 94 tree wells
Installation of approximately 1,250 square feet of 2” flexible porous pavement over 4” of crushed stone.
This infrastructure improvement is designed to enhance pedestrian safety, support healthy urban trees, and eliminate trip hazards associated with outdated tree grates.
III. DISCUSSION:
The selected surface material is a porous, ADA-compliant, rubber-based system that supports stormwater infiltration and long-term durability. A color selection is required at this time to ensure timely material procurement.
Staff Recommendation:
Cypress (orequivalent) – a subtle, green-toned option that complements both hardscape and landscape elements. It is also readily available from the selected vendor(s) and falls within standard pricing tiers.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
Alternative Color Themes for Council Consideration:
Horned Toad Spirit Colors – Orange and black, symbolizing community pride and the local mascot West Hills College Colors – Blue and red, representing support for the regionaleducational institution Neutral Tones – Options such as black, granite, or bark brown offer timeless, clean aesthetics with minimal long-term maintenance concerns
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated totalcost of the project is $167,867, which includes design, engineering, and installation. While the project was designed and engineered in FY25, the associated construction costs were inadvertently not transferred into the FY26 adopted budget. However, sufficient funds are available in the Measure C Flexible Funding Account to fully support the project.
A budget adjustment will be presented to the City Councilat the August 7, 2025 meeting to formally appropriate the necessary funds.
This project is considered low impact and requires minimal staff effort, and its funding will not affect the delivery or execution of any other Measure C-funded projects currently budgeted in FY26.
