July 28, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BRANT MESKER CITY MANAGER
ROBIN KAMPMANN, PE; CITY ENGINEER CONSULTANT
SUMMARY:

Annually, the City of Corning must declare its intention to levy assessments for the individual zones within City of Corning Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1. In compliance with State law, the City publishes a legal notice informing residents of the date and time of the public hearing associated with the assessments. The public hearing is held prior to levying the annual assessments and placing them on the property tax rolls.

Landscaping and Lighting District 1, Zone 1 includes the “Blackburn Estates” Subdivision, located north of Blackburn Avenue and east of Marguerite Avenue on N. Alex Lane.

The City Engineer has filed the attached Annual Engineer’s report for the district assessments.

No change is proposed in the current fiscal year assessment of $63.08 per residential parcel.

The attached Resolution, if adopted, would set the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 assessment rate at $63.08 per parcel.

BACKGROUND:

The California Streets and Highway Code contains the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 beginning with Section 22500. The Act provides for the establishment of Landscaping and Lighting Districts and for the levying of annual assessments on the property owners within the District.

Streets and Highways Code Section 22626 provides for notice of a public hearing and requires publication of a legal notice at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing when there is no proposed increase in the annual assessment. Notice of this hearing was published on July 15, 2026. More extensive notice requirements apply when assessments are proposed to be increased.

RECOMMENDATION:

MAYOR AND COUNCIL APPROVE THE ENGINEERS REPORT AND ADOPT RESOLUTION NO 07-28-2026-01 SETTING THE FISCAL YEAR 2026/2027 ASSESSMENT AT $63.08 PER PARCEL FOR LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT 1, ZONE 1 RESOLUTION NO.: 07-28-2026-01

ACCEPT FINAL MAP FOR SALADO
ORCHARDS PHASE II, TOOMES AVENUE;
APN 071-020-074, AND AUTHORIZE AN

AMENDED REGULATORY AGREEMENT AND

PARTIAL RECONVEYANCE WITH CORNING
PACIFIC.

JULY 28, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CORNING
FROM: CHRISTINA MEEDS, PLANNER II

BRANK MESKER, CITY MANAGER
SUMMARY:

Tentative Tract Map 2026-01 approved in May of this year with one condition that must be met prior to approval of the “Final Tract Map” as provided in the City Code and the Subdivision Map Act. The condition was that a note shall be added to the front page of the map prior to recording that states the property is located near agricultural operations and that residents of the development may be adversely affected by dust, noise, odors, and overspray of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and that the City of Corning does not regard such operation as nuisances when conducted with proper and accepted standards.

The final Tract Map has been prepared and delivered to the City. The map offers the required statement. A reduced scale copy of the final map is attached.

The map substantially conforms to the tentative map; the map may now be recorded.

As part of this approval, the City will also need to review and approve an amendment to a regulatory agreement and a partial reconveyance of property secured through that agreement. In 2007, the City of Corning (“City”) entered into a Regulatory Agreement with Corning Pacific Associates, LP, regarding a HOME loan that Corning Pacific obtained.

Pursuant to the agreement, the loan obtained by Corning Pacific was secured by a deed of trust to the property in question. That deed of trust remains on the entire property.

Because Corning Pacific is now splitting the parcel to begin work on phase 2, they would like to amend the regulatory agreement so that the loan only encumbers the phase 1 parcel. This would permit them to move forward with the phase 2 parcel with clear title.

The City requested an appraisal in connection with the amendment and reconveyance which Corning Pacific provided. That value came back as $3,730,000 on June 12, 2026.

The loan secured by the deed of trust is $3,900,000.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:
 Accept the final Tract Map 2026-01 and authorize the City Clerk to certify the acceptance on the final Map.
 Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute an Amended Regulatory Agreement and Partial Reconveyance.

REQUEST CITY COUNCIL DIRECTION

ON EXTENSION OF POOL SEASON TO
AUGUST 29, 2026
July 28, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CHRISSY MEEDS, PLANNER II/RECREATION COORDINATOR

BRANT MESKER, CITY MANAGER
SUMMARY:

In past years the City receives requests to extend the pool season, which typically closes the last weekend before school starts. This year the pool is scheduled to close on August 8, 2026, for the regular summer season. Staff surveyed lifeguards’ availability beyond the August 8th closing date and believe there are sufficient lifeguards available to work a modified schedule for an additional three weeks to keep the pool open to the public. This would extend the pool season and through August 28, 2026, should the City Council desire to extend the season and upon scheduling with the lifeguards we have no significant conflicts. • Lap Swim Monday - Friday 7:00 – 8:00 AM
• Water Aerobics Monday - Friday 5:30 – 6:30 PM
• Saturday Day Swim – 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM
• Evening Swim – Friday – 6:30 – 9:00 PM
• Morning & Night Maintenance
Should the City Council approve an extension of the pool season, it would be recommended that there be no cost or fees to be collected for this three-week period. This would relieve staffing pressures and encourage more patrons to utilize the pool.

FINANCIAL:

The cost to operate the pool for an additional three-week period based on the schedule above is roughly $4,000 for labor and $9,000 for chemicals for an approximate total of $13,000.

Should the City Council approve this additional expenditure a mid-year budget adjustment will likely be requested.

RECOMMENDATION:

MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL:

1. AUTHORIZE THE CITY POOL TO REMAIN OPEN THROUGH AUGUST 28, 2026, FOLLOWING THE AFOREMENTIONED SCHEDULE; AND

2. DIRECT STAFF ON FEES DURING THE EXTENDED POOL SEASON.

APPROVE AGREEMENT WITH
BICKLEY’S AIR CONDITIONING &

HEATING FOR THE HVAC UNIT

REPLACEMENT AT THE CORNING
LIBRARY FOR $25,895.00
JULY 28, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BRANT MESKER, CITY MANAGER

ELIJAH STANLEY, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
BACKGROUND:

The HVAC unit serving the Corning Library has reached the end of its useful life and is in need of replacement. Over the past several years, City staff has worked with multiple HVAC contractors to keep the existing unit operational. Last year, two separate HVAC companies recommended replacing the unit due to its age, declining reliability, and the increasing cost of ongoing repairs.

Based on these recommendations, staff solicited quotes from several HVAC contractors for the replacement.

SUMMARY:

Staff received three quotes for the replacement of the library's HVAC unit. Bickley's Air Conditioning & Heating submitted the lowest responsive quote in the amount of $25,895.00. The proposed work includes the removal of the existing unit and installation of a new York heating and air conditioning system. The quote also includes a one-year limited warranty, a five-year compressor warranty, and a ten-year heat exchanger warranty. Staff has included the quote and proposed agreement for Council's review.

Under the California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Act, the City is allowed to obtain informal quotes for public works projects with an estimated cost of less than $60,000. This repair falls within that limit.

FINANCIAL:

During the FY 2026/2027 budget process, staff identified the need to replace the library's HVAC unit and allocated $30,000 for the project. The quoted not to exceed amount of $25,895.00 is within the approved budget allocation.

RECOMMENDATION:

MAYOR AND COUNCIL:
• APPROVE AGREEMENT WITH BICKLEY’S AIR CONDITIONING & HEATING FOR THE HVAC UNIT REPLACEMENT AT THE CORNING LIBRARY FOR $25,895.00; AND • AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE AND ENTERED INTO as of this 29 day of July 2026, by and between the City of Corning, a Municipal Corporation, hereinafter referred to as “City” and Bickley’s Air Conditioning & Heating hereinafter referred to as “Contractor”. It is hereby agreed by and between the parties that Contractor shall perform the installation of one new 12.5 ton air conditioning Unit, as hereinafter more particularly described hereafter.

1. CONTRACTOR’S OBLIGATION:
a. Contractor shall perform the installation of one York 12½ Ton 14.7 SEER 11 EER, 454B refrigerant, air conditioning and heating system with an 82% efficient 220,000 BTU heater, Model # KLG14EB3AA5A111A1 with a economizer at the Corning Library for the City of Corning. All services shall be completed safely, in a professional and workmanlike manner, using approved materials and methods. The project location and services are further described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated by this reference. The City reserves unto itself the right to reject any or all performance hereunder and to require follow-up services to the City’s satisfaction and without further compensation. b. Contractor shall, during the term of this Contract, maintain a valid City of Corning Business License.

2. COMPENSATION / TERM
For those services as outlined in Library HVAC Unit Replacement – Scope of Work a. hereto the City shall pay to Contractor a not-to-exceed amount of $25,895.00 unless terminated under Section 3.
b. City will pay Contractor, upon completion of the project. However, should performance not be satisfactory as determined by the Public Works Director, as hereinafter specified, the City may retain and use such funds as the Public Works Director deems appropriate for purposes of ensuring proper performance and/or hiring other general engineering companies to complete the contract to the City’s satisfaction.

3. TERMINATION:

Should contractor fail to perform satisfactorily as herein set forth, City reserves to itself the right to cancel any remaining portion of said contract upon thirty days written notice to Contractor, by notice in writing provided to Contractor at his usual place of business. Should Contractor breach any of the terms and conditions of this contract, or violate any laws, especially those relative to negligent behavior that puts the public at risk, the City reserves unto itself the right to direct Contractor to immediately cease performance and then terminate this contract thereafter, upon thirty days written notice, and pay contractor such amounts as he may then be entitled to on a pro-rata basis (pro-rated according to amount of work satisfactorily completed).

4. PAYMENTS:

The acceptance of the final payment by the Contractor shall constitute a waiver of all claims by him.

5. SUSPENSION OF WORK:

The Public Works Director shall have authority to suspend the work wholly or in part for such period as he may deem necessary to investigate complaints regarding improper or unsafe use of equipment.

6. AUTHORITY OF DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS:

The Public Works Director shall be the City’s representative in deciding any and all questions that may arise as to the quality or acceptability of the work performed, all questions that arise as to the acceptable fulfillment of the contract on the part of the Contractor, and all questions as to claims and compensation. The City Manager also is authorized to act as the City’s representative at any time with respect to this agreement. Contractor is an independent contractor; therefore the City will not be supervising the work performed or directing Contractor how to do his work but will be expecting the Contractor to perform all work agreed upon in a safe and professional manner according to the terms of this agreement.

7. LAWS TO BE OBSERVED:

The Contractor shall keep himself fully informed of all State, Federal and Municipal Ordinances and/or regulations of the City of Corning which in any manner affect those engaged in or employed in the work, or the materials used in the work, or which in any way affect the conduct of the work and of all such orders and decrees of bodies or tribunals having any jurisdiction or authority over the same. Contractor must comply with all provisions of the Immigration Reform and Control Act and of the California Labor Code which includes the requirements of the prevailing wage laws and the obligation to register with the Department of Industrial Relations.

8. PREVAILING WAGE:

Pursuant to Section 1770 et seq. of the Labor Code the Contractor for the work will be required to pay, at least, the general prevailing wage rates as determined by the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations of the State of California.

AUTHORIZE THE AGREEMENT WITH
FLOCK GROUP INC. FOR NEW LPR
SYSTEM
July 28, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BRANT MESKER, CITY MANAGER

EDUARDO CURIEL, CHIEF OF POLICE
SUMMARY:

The Police Department requests City Council approval to authorize a three (3) year agreement with Flock Group, Inc. for a new License Plate Reader (LPR) system. The department's existing LPR system is outdated and no longer meets operational needs.

The proposed system will enhance public safety by providing officers with timely, accurate information on vehicles associated with criminal activity. It automatically compares license plates against state and national databases and provides real-time alerts for stolen vehicles, wanted persons, AMBER Alerts, Silver Alerts, and other law enforcement notifications.

The upgraded system will also improve investigative capabilities and support sharing regional information with partnering law enforcement agencies.

FINANCIAL:

Flock Group Inc. is providing the LPR system with the City at no cost during a 60-day assessment period. Following the trial, $10,000 has been budgeted for the cost of the first year of the three-year agreement. The contract not to exceed amount for four cameras for three years totals $36,000. The annual contract amount is $12,000.

Staff has also applied for grant funding to offset the cost of a multi-year service agreement. If the grant is not awarded staff would plan to budget accordingly for the $12,000 annual expense to the City in future years.

RECOMMENDATION:

MAYOR AND COUNCIL:
• AUTHORIZE THE AGREEMENT WITH FLOCK GROUP INC. FOR

NEW LPR SYSTEM AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO
EXECUTE THE CONTRACT DIGITALLY.
