Staff Report to City Council
FOR THE JANUARY 28, 2026, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
From: Ron Walker, City Manager
Prepared by: Kathy Pease, AICP, Planning Consultant
Subject: Special Event Amendments Ordinance (Noticed 12/24/2026; First Reading 01/14/2026)
Budget Impact Overview:
N/A: Funded: Un-funded: √ Amount: Fund(s):
Summary/Background
This is a request to amend Chapter 5 of the Municipal Code to add Special Events to the Chapter relating to outdoor festivals and to amend Chapter 17.64 of the Zoning Code to add Special Events as an allowed use with a conditional use permit (CUP) in the Commercial (C-R Commercial Retail and C-H Highway Commercial) and Mixed Use (MU-1 and MU-2) Zoning Districts.
The City Council voted unanimously to adopt the Ordinance at its January 14, 2026, meeting and adopt a Special Event Facilities Policy.
Discussion
Chapter 5.24 for Outdoor Festivals is currently existing. This covers gatherings for street dances, or similar musical or theatrical performances which are periodic in nature. Special events differ from this because they would establish an ongoing use on a property.
Special events would be defined as an event venue or facility offered for use by third-party individuals for commercial purposes, or nonprofit entities for the conduct of non-commercial events, such as weddings, parties, or other similar private social gatherings, or for charitable or political fundraisers. A special events facility may include food preparation facilities and limited overnight lodging facilities for event attendees. A special events facility may be either a singlepurpose facility or a secondary use of another type of facility that does not typically include an assembly group occupancy, such as an agricultural processing facility or a winery. Marketing or promotional events conducted by the business operator to promote the goods or services offered by the business, such as wine club events at a winery, are not special events for purposes of this definition but are subject to regulations applicable to the business operation.
It should be noted that private events on private property (such as Homeowners Association clubhouses, or private backyard gatherings) typically would not fall under the requirements.
Amendments to Chapter 17.64.90 would add a Special Events Facility definition and would Special Events as an allowed use with a conditional use permit to Table 17.64.020 Permitted Use RECOMMENDED ACTION: Conduct a second reading and adopt Ordinance _____-2026, updating the City’s Municipal Code Section 5.24 to add special events to the Outdoor Festivals chapter, and amending the Zoning Code Section 17.64 to clarify requirements for special events; to be effective 30 days after adoption.
Item 2E28
City of Colfax Special Event Amendments Ordinance
Staff Report January 28, 2026
types for the MU-1, MU-2 and C-4 and C-H zoning districts. The conditional use permit process would require a public hearing by the City Council and the ability for the City to add conditions of approval to ensure that noise, odor, traffic etc., can be addressed to reduce potential impacts.
To further clarify expectations for Special Events Facilities, it is recommended that the City Council adopt a Special Events Policy.
Fiscal
This action has a small impact on the City’s General Fund as a result of this amendment. Staff time to prepare the draft ordinance is an unfunded state mandate that is funded by the City’s General Fund. Any special event facilities proposed would pay fees consistent with the City’s Fee Schedule for processing of Conditional Use Permits.
Environmental Review
The City of Colfax finds that adoption of this ordinance does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

FINDING OF NO PROJECT
The City of Colfax finds that adoption of this ordinance does not constitute a "Project" as that term is defined by or used in CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines or any court of attorney general opinion construing the same. Accordingly, the City of Colfax finds that the provisions of CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines are not applicable to said action.
FINDING OF EXEMPTION

City of Colfax Status Update on the Bids Received for Construction of the Staff Report January 28, 2026 Colfax Skate Park
Staff Report to City Council
FOR THE JANUARY 28, 2026 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
From: Ron Walker, City Manager
Prepared by: Carl Moore, City Engineer
Subject: Skate Park Project Bid Results
Budget Impact Overview:
N/A: √ Funded: Un-funded: Amount: Fund(s):
This staff report was first introduced during the December 10, 2025 city council meeting but due to extenuating circumstances, City Council decided to postpone discussion on this item until the first city council meeting scheduled in January.
The bids received for the Colfax Skate Park are substantially greater than estimated. The purpose of this staff report is to provide information on the status of the bid process and request feedback from the City Council on how to proceed with next steps given an estimated shortfall for the project.
Summary/Background
On October 23, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution 51 - 2019 which formally approved locating the Skate Park adjacent to the Splash pad. This project has experienced multiple delays and has yet to be completed.
On October 23, 2024, the City Council approved the revised footprint and preliminary plans and direction was provided to Colfax Green Machine to finalize the improvement plans for the Colfax Skate Park. New Line Skateparks provided the Colfax Skate Park, bid set issue date 2025-06-09 (Final Plans).
On July 9th, 2025, City Council approved the Final Plans and authorized the City Manager to solicit bids for the construction of the Colfax Skate Park project.
In October 2025, bids documents were issued and bids requested for the construction of the Colfax Skate Park with bids due and received on November 20, 2025. Two bids were received and are listed below:
Spohn Ranch, Inc $648,900.00 base bid + $20,000.00 bid alt #1 Grindline Skateparks, Inc. $799,700.00 base bid + $32,584.00 bid alt #1 The amounts above do not include the cost for testing and inspection services (T&I) nor time for city staff to monitor construction, which could add another $50,000-$100,000 bringing the low base bid plus T&I/city staff total cost to $698,900-$748,900. The available funding including the State grant, County grant, Green Machine donations, and city contribution is $524,376 for a total funding shortage between $174,524-$224,524.
Conclusions and Findings
City staff recommends City Council review the following options and provide direction for city staff to proceed with the project:
1. City and Green Machine staff to review additional funding sources
2. City to provide additional funding to offset the funding shortfall
3. Rebid the project
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Status update on the bids received for construction of the Colfax Skate Park and request for direction.

Staff Report to City Council
FOR THE JANUARY 28, 2026 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
From: Ron Walker, City Manager
Prepared by: Matt Anderson, Chief Plant Operator
Subject: SCADA for Lift Stations
Budget Impact Overview:
N/A: Funded: √ Un-funded: Amount: $154,140.00 Fund(s): 561 Summary/Background
SCADA System Upgrade – Project Overview and Justification As part of the Suspended Air Flotation (S.A.F.) Project, it was determined that upgrading our existing SCADA system was essential to improving operations and ensuring regulatory compliance. After thorough evaluation, we selected Ignition as the SCADA platform due to its superior capabilities, widespread use across both large and small treatment facilities nationwide, and its flexibility to meet the current and future needs of our plant.
The initial groundwork for the Ignition SCADA system was laid in coordination with Control Point Engineering, a highly regarded firm in the field. Although the final phase of the project was initially intended to be completed by Telstar, it became evident that Control Point Engineering was better suited for the integration and completion of the system. As a result, the City made the decision to terminate Telstar’s involvement and appoint Control Point Engineering as the lead contractor.
Subsequent meetings between the City and Control Point Engineering revealed that the scope and quality of work previously commissioned by Telstar was insufficient to meet the project's goals. To move forward effectively, we requested a comprehensive quote from Control Point Engineering to complete the SCADA system for the city’s 4 lift stations in a way that ensures long-term functionality, flexibility, and reliability.
Currently, the wastewater treatment plant has a new SCADA system and a separate SCADA system for the lift stations which cannot be integrated into the new system due to the age of software and hardware. The current SCADA system for the lift stations are 17 versions away from current hardware and 20 versions away from the newest software. The systems hardware and software are too old to integrate into the new system leaving us again having to run 2 systems. The other issue with the current system is that the city cannot enable any alarms for lift station 1 because it faults the system due to bad programing and hardware. Lift station 2 has a total of 4 pumps but can only use 2 currently with the current system due to bad programing and old hardware and software. Currently we can see the lift stations in the new system but cannot control anything at the station and have minimal alarms due to old software.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution ________-2026 authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Control Point Engineering with a not to exceed amount of $157,140 for the completion and integration of the four City sewer lift stations into the new Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system.
Item 8B40
City of Colfax Integrating the Sewer Lift Stations into the New Staff Report January 28, 2026 WWTP SCADA
The proposed Ignition SCADA system will fully automate the lift stations, providing:
• Real-time access to all equipment and process setpoints. • Comprehensive alarm management and remote notifications. • Immediate visibility into operational issues and equipment failures.
By implementing this upgraded system, we significantly reduce the risk of lift station problems due to failed equipment and/or overflows at the station which could turn into heavy fines from the state. The enhanced automation will ensure faster response times, increased efficiency, and greater operational reliability, safeguarding both the lift stations and public health.
Conclusions and Findings
After reviewing the quote, staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Control Point Engineering for an amount not-to-exceed $157,140 for the completion and integration of the SCADA system for the 4 lift stations.

COMMUNITY LEADERS:
Capitol-to-Capitol 2026 marks a pivotal moment for the Sacramento Metro Chamber’s flagship advocacy program, the largest and longest running of its kind in the nation. For more than five decades, Cap-to-Cap has united business, civic, and elected leaders to champion the issues that matter most to our region. From our roots as a small, scrappy group working to protect local military bases, this program has become the respected advocacy powerhouse that continues to drive growth and opportunity throughout the Capital Region.
As we look ahead, our region faces pressing challenges—from workforce development and innovation to infrastructure and government efficiency. Tackling these issues demands bold, unified leadership. Cap-to-Cap is where that collaboration happens.
At its core, Cap-to-Cap is guided by a simple but powerful principle: our political platform is pro– Sacramento Region. Our delegation represents diverse perspectives and industries, but we share one goal: advancing policies that strengthen our communities. In today’s divided political climate, Cap-to-Cap stands out as a model of what’s possible when business, government, and community leaders come together with a common purpose.
Join us to shape the future of the Capital Region. Whether you’re a returning participant or joining us for the first time, your voice matters. Cap-to-Cap is more than an advocacy program, it’s an opportunity to connect with peers, influence policy, and make a lasting impact on our future.

City of Colfax Town Hall Meeting Schedule
Staff Report January 28, 2026
Staff Report to City Council
FOR THE JANUARY 28, 2026 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
From: Ron Walker, City Manager
Prepared by: Ron Walker, City Manager
Subject: Town Hall Meeting Schedule
Budget Impact Overview:
N/A: Funded: Un-funded: Amount: Fund(s):
Summary/Background
Mayor McCully is requesting the City Council discuss holding regular Town Hall meetings to help the Council govern more effectively by keeping decision-makers connected to the people they serve while reinforcing transparency, trust, and community cohesion.
Key reasons for holding townhall meeting include:
1. Direct citizen engagement
Town halls give residents a face-to-face opportunity to ask questions, voice concerns, and share ideas.
In small cities, personal access to leaders is especially valued and reinforces the idea that local government is accessible and accountable.
2. Better-informed decisions
Hearing directly from residents helps city councils and staff understand real-world impacts of policies before decisions are made. This local insight often surfaces issues or solutions that formal reports miss.
3. Increased transparency and trust
Open dialogue reduces misinformation and suspicion. When residents see how and why decisions are made, trust in city leadership increases—even when people disagree with outcomes.
4. Early problem identification
Town halls can reveal emerging issues (infrastructure, public safety, utilities, development concerns) before they escalate into larger conflicts or costly problems.
5. Stronger community relationships
Regular town halls foster a sense of shared ownership in the community. Residents feel heard, and officials better understand community values, which is critical in smaller cities where decisions have visible, immediate impacts.
6. Improved communication
Complex topics—budgets, capital projects, rate increases, zoning changes—are easier to explain and discuss in an interactive setting than through agendas or staff reports alone.
7. Encouraging civic participation
Town halls often motivate residents to attend council meetings, serve on boards or commissions, or volunteer. This helps develop future community leaders.
8. Reducing conflict and polarization
Providing a structured, respectful forum for discussion can reduce frustration and prevent issues from turning into adversarial public disputes or social media conflicts.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council will discuss whether to hold Town Hall meetings on a regular schedule and determine the appropriate frequency.
