ORDINANCE 718,
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE
CROSS-CONNECTION CONTROL (2ND
READING)
SEPTEMBER 8, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BRANT MESKER, CITY MANAGER
ELIJAH STANLEY, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
SUMMARY:
The City of Corning Municipal Code Section 13.08.170 establishes the requirements of the City for the installation of and the use of backflow devices for the public water system. The current language of the code does not meet the updated requirements of the State Water Resources Control Board relating to cross-connection control and backflow prevention. The CrossConnection Control Policy Handbook (CCCPH), adopted by the Water Board on December 19, 2023, or any subsequent version, replaces previous regulations effective July 1, 2024, and carries the full force and effect of law. This update to the City of Corning Municipal Code meets the current updated requirements and is established to:
a. Protect the City’s public potable water supply system from contamination or pollution by isolating the water user’s internal systems or private water sources that could backflow into the City’s system;
b. Promote the elimination or control of actual or potential cross-connections between potable and non-potable systems; and
c. Maintain an effective Cross-Connection Control Program to systematically minimize potential risks to the City’s potable water supply.
BACKGROUND:
Ordinance 718 was presented to the City Council at its August 11, 2026, meeting and received unanimous approval from the City Council.
CEQA:
The City of Corning finds that this Ordinance is not a “project” according to the definition set forth in the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), and, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15061(b)(3) (there is no possibility the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment), the adoption of this ordinance is therefore not subject to the provisions requiring environmental review.
FINANCIAL:
There is no financial impact.
RECOMMENDATION:
MAYOR AND COUNCIL:
• ACCEPT AND ADOPT THE SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 718, AN
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CORNING AMENDING SECTION 13.08.170 OF THE CORNING MUNICIPAL CODE TO UPDATE THE CROSSCONNECTION CONTROL MUNICIPAL CODE TO COMLY WITH THE CCCPH.
ORDINANCE NO. 718
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CORNING AMENDING SECTION 13.08.170 OF THE CORNING MUNICIPAL CODE,
RELATING TO CROSS-CONNECTION CONTROL.
WHEREAS, The City of Corning (“City”) provides water service to the residents of the City of Corning and maintains procedures for establishing water connections and protecting the safety of the water supply; and

2. The City may also disconnect water and/or sewer service to any premises if the health and safety of any person is immediately threatened by a cross-connection.
3. The City may refuse to restore such service to the premises until the cross-connection is controlled through the proper installation and testing of an approved backflow prevention assembly.
4. At its discretion, the City may elect to have backflow prevention assemblies installed, tested, and/or repaired when the customer has failed to comply. All costs, along with an administrative fee will be added to the utility bill for the premise in question.
I. Administration.
The Public Works Director shall maintain policies and procedures consistent with this Chapter and shall designate at least one certified Cross-Connection Control Specialist to administer and enforce its provisions.
Section 2. Severability.
If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance, or its application to any person or circumstance, is for any reason held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases of this Ordinance, or its application to any person or circumstance. The City Council of the City of Corning hereby declares that it would have adopted each section, subsection subdivision paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more other sections, subsections subdivisions paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases hereof be declared invalid or unenforceable.
Section 3. CEQA.
The City of Corning finds that this Ordinance is not a “project” according to the definition set forth in the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), and, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15061(b)(3) (there is no possibility the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment), the adoption of this ordinance is therefore not subject to the provisions requiring environmental review.

INFORMATIONAL PRESENATION
REGARDING THE 2026 POOL
SEASON AND FEEDBACK TO
STAFF
September 8, 2026.
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CHRISTINA MEEDS, CITY PLANNER II, RECREATION COORDINATOR
BRANT MESKER, CITY MANAGER
SUMMARY:
In November 2025, staff presented a proposed trial schedule and operating plan for the 2026 summer pool season. The goal was to provide additional opportunities for residents, particularly children and families, to utilize the City pool.
As part of the 2026 schedule, staff expanded evening opportunities, including additional community night swims. Staff has prepared a PowerPoint presentation highlighting the 2026 pool season and the progress made throughout the summer, including photographs of pool activities and community participation.
The 2026 summer pool season was well received by the community. Staff received positive feedback from residents who appreciated the additional opportunities to use the pool.
Participation also increased compared to previous years.
The community night swims were particularly successful, with the evening hours consistently being the most popular pool offering. The addition of a second night swim was well received and resulted in strong participation each week.
One of the changes made for the 2026 season was replacing the Corning Swim Team's Monday evening skills night with a community night swim. The Monday evening community night swim proved to be very popular, with strong participation each week.
The Corning Swim Team Board has requested to return to their Monday through Friday morning schedule in addition, that Monday evenings once again be designated as a skills night.
Staff has no objections to accommodate the request for the Monday through Friday mornings.
But Staff recognizes the success of the Monday Community Night Swim.
The 2026 summer pool season demonstrated that there is significant community demand for expanded pool access, particularly during evening hours. The additional night swim was consistently well attended and appears to be one of the most successful components of the revised schedule.
RECOMMENDATION:
INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATION FROM STAFF AND CITY COUNCIL FEEDBACK.
Corning City Pool 2026
The 2026 summer season offered residents a variety of pool activities.
OVERALL: Strong participation and very positive feedback.
Community comments highlighted the best season yet, friendly staff, Friday Night Activities, on-time opening, attentive lifeguards, and many 5-star ratings.
2 Swim Lessons, Water Aerobics and
Open Swim Days
3 Swim Lessons
Early morning and Saturday swim lessons were offered for the first time.
Early morning lessons were very popular in the first session, but participation declined in later sessions. 2027 plan: Move lessons back to 10:00 a.m. and consider an early-evening session.
Saturday lessons were popular. All lessons included certificates, free swim passes, and Friday fun activities.
FREE SWIM SPONSORS
Recommendation
6 Continue to staff the pool with a dedicated City adult supervisor.
An on-site adult supervisor was frequently needed to assist with situations, questions, and staff oversight. • Safety and emergency response
• Staff and visitor supervision
• Accountability for daily operations
• Immediate decision-making
• Security and access monitoring
• Professional customer service
Friday Fun Nights were held and were very successful:
Friday Game Night
Hawaii Night
Pirate Night
7 Friday Fun Nights
4th of JULY CELEBRATION
8 The 4th of July Celebration was a community highlight.
Activities included a kiddie bike parade, Rotary BBQ, firefighter water polo, live music, a water slide, games and prizes, and free swimming.

CUHS SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM
9 2026 was the first year partnering with Corning Union High School for summer camp.
Approximately 200–300 children used the pool daily during the two-week program.
Extra lifeguards were scheduled to staff the pool.
For 2027, provide parents with advance information on life jackets, rules, goggles, and discipline.
LIFEGUARD EXIT INTERVIEWS
CONSENSUS ACROSS THE BOARD:
• ALL LIFEGUARDS WANT TO RETURN NEXT
SEASON.
• THE MOST ENJOYABLE PART OF THE
SEASON WAS WORKING WITH THE TEAM.
2027 Considerations
• INCREASE SWIM LESSON PARTICIPATION
• OFFER MORE SCHOOL POOL PARTY AVAILABILITY
• SIMPLIFY ACTIVITY REGISTRATION
• INCREASE LAP SWIM AND WATER FITNESS PARTICIPATION
• OFFER A SMALL SNACK BAR
• DIVING BOARD
• GUARD UMBRELLAS
• DEEP-END ROPE
• ADA CHAIR
Future Considerations
• EXPLORE USE OF THE LITTLE POOL FOR BASIC WATER SKILLS DURING 2ND GRADE LESSONS • EXPAND STORAGE INTO A STAFF BREAK ROOM
• ADD A SMALL SNACK BAR
• ADD A POS SYSTEM AT THE POOL
• CONSIDER WEEKEND OPERATIONS THROUGH SEPTEMBER
• ADD MORE DECK SEATING
THINGS I LEARNED
SUMMER OF 2026! EDITION
A few lessons from the pool:
• Rules and schedules can be challenging to enforce.
• Kids move fast—and leave belongings everywhere.
• Snacks are highly motivating.
• Pool cleanup includes plenty of Band-Aids, hair ties, and fake nails.
More importantly, I learned a great deal about pool chemicals, pumps, facility operations, lifeguard schedules, and chemical safety checks.

Ph. (415) 703-4774.
G. Category A Delays
For the purpose of these Contract Documents, the term "Category A Delays" shall mean, and is limited to, delays caused directly by acts of God; acts of the public enemy; fire, riots, insurrections; epidemics; quarantine restrictions; strikes; lockouts; sit- downs; acts of a governmental agency; priorities or privileges established for the manufacture, assembly or allotment of materials necessary in the construction of the work by order, decree or otherwise of the United States or by any department, bureau, commission, committee, agent, or administrator of any legally constituted public authority; changes in the work ordered by the CITY insofar as they necessarily require additional time in which to substantially complete the work; the prevention by the CITY of the Contractor from commencing or prosecuting the work because of the acts of others, excepting the Contractor's subcontractors; or the prevention of the
Contractor from commencing or prosecuting the work because of a city-wide failure of public utility service.
Inclement weather shall not be a prima facie reason for the granting of an extension of time, and the Contractor shall make every effort to continue work under prevailing conditions. The CITY may, however, grant an extension of time if an unavoidable delay as a result of inclement weather in fact occurs, and such shall then be classified as a "Category A Delay".
The term "Category A Delay" shall specifically not include (i) any delay which could have been avoided by the exercise of care, prudence, foresight and diligence on the part of the Contractor; (ii) any delay in the prosecution of parts of the work, which may in itself be unavoidable but which does not necessarily prevent or delay the prosecution of other parts of the work, nor substantial completion of the whole work within the time specified; (iii) any reasonable delay resulting from time required by the CITY for review of plans submitted by the Contractor and for the making of surveys, measurements and inspection; and (iv) any delay arising from an interruption in the prosecution of the work on account of the reasonable interference from other contractors employed by the CITY which does not necessarily prevent the completion of the whole work within the time specified.
H. Category B Delays
For the purposes of these Contract Documents, the term "Category B Delays" shall mean delays caused directly by loss or damage to the project caused by the perils covered by the Builder's Risk insurance provided for by the Agreement or by any war declared by an enactment of the Congress of the United States of America.
VI LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
The provisions for Liquidated Damages appearing in the General Conditions, Article 12, are incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. Liquidated damages of $1,000.00 per day will be charged the Contractor for each day of delay beyond the substantial completion date.
VII NOTICE OF DELAY
The Contractor shall promptly notify the CITY in writing of any anticipated delay in the prosecution of the work, and, in any event, promptly upon the occurrence of a delay. Said notice shall constitute an application for an extension of contract time only if it is in compliance with the provisions of Article
12. Failure by the Contractor to make a timely request will result in a waiver of the right to such extension. Contractor shall take notice of General Conditions, Article 12, affecting the time period in which to claim an extension of the contract time for physical conditions and limitations set forth in the General Conditions, Article 12. The CITY may take steps to prevent the occurrence of continuance of the delay and/or may determine to what extent the completion of the work is delayed thereby.
VIII NO WAIVER OF RIGHTS
Neither the inspection by the CITY or its agents, nor any order or certificate for the payment of money, nor any payment for, nor acceptance of the whole or any part of the work by the CITY, nor any extensions of time, nor any position taken by the CITY or its agents shall operate as a waiver of any provision of this Contract, or of any power herein reserved to the CITY or any right to damage herein provided, nor shall any waiver of any breach of this Contract be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. All remedies provided in this Contract shall be taken and construed as cumulative, that is in addition to each and every other remedy herein provided; and the CITY shall have any and all equitable and legal remedies which it would in any case have.
IX AGREEMENT CONTROLS

SUMMARY:

Company Proposal Amount
Corning Ford $46,604.53
Staff recommends that City Council award the purchase of the new F-150/1500, half-ton, 4x2 regular cab pickup to Corning Ford in the amount of $46,604.53, as Corning Ford submitted the only responsive bid received. The bid amount includes dealer-installed racks and lighting, as well as complete vehicle upfitting prior to delivery.
BACKGROUND:
City staff solicited bids from five (5) local dealerships for the purchase of a new F-150/1500 halfton, 4x2 regular cab pickup to replace Unit 4, a 2008 Ford Ranger (VIN 1FTYR10D58PA01536). Unit 4 has exceeded its anticipated service life and is no longer adequate to meet the City’s current operational needs.
As part of this staff report, staff is also requesting authorization to surplus the existing Unit 4 upon delivery of the replacement vehicle, contingent upon approval of the purchase.
FINANCIAL:
During the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 budgeting process, City staff allocated $67,500.00 for the purchase and upfitting of one (1) new F-150/1500, half-ton, 4x2 regular cab pickup. The proposed purchase price of $46,604.53 is within the approved budget, leaving $20,895.47 in the allocated funds.

APPROVE A LETTER OF SUPPORT
FOR THE CHICOSTART NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA SBDC NEIGHBORHOOD
BRANCH APPLICATION
September 8, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BRANT MESKER, CITY MANAGER
SUMMARY:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to sign a Letter of Support for ChicoSTART’s application to expand Small Business Development Center (SBDC) services through a Northern California SBDC Neighborhood Branch in the City of Corning.
ChicoSTART is seeking to expand Small Business Development Center services in the region by establishing a Northern California SBDC Neighborhood Branch in Corning. The proposed branch would provide increased access to no-cost business advising, educational programming, technical assistance, and connections to capital and other resources for entrepreneurs and small businesses.
The City of Corning has an established partnership with ChicoSTART. Since launching its Accelerated By partnership with the City in 2024, ChicoSTART has connected Corning entrepreneurs with opportunities and access to subject-matter expertise, mentorship, resources, and business training, including Accelerate Your Business and Entrepreneurship 101 programming.
Corning's economy is supported by agriculture, food processing, manufacturing, transportation, retail, and service-sector businesses. Expanding access to business development resources would support the City's economic development priorities, including assisting entrepreneurs, strengthening existing businesses, increasing access to capital, creating and retaining jobs, and promoting long-term economic vitality.
DISCUSSION
The proposed Neighborhood Branch would strengthen connections among public agencies, educational institutions, economic development organizations, lenders, workforce partners, and business support providers. It would provide additional opportunities for local entrepreneurs and businesses to access technical assistance, educational programming, capital resources, and other support necessary to start, grow, and succeed.
Given ChicoSTART's existing relationship with the City and its experience serving entrepreneurs in Tehama County, staff believes the proposed Neighborhood Branch would be a valuable resource for Corning and the surrounding region. The attached Letter of Support expresses the City's support for ChicoSTART's application and its willingness to work with ChicoSTART and the NorCal SBDC to successfully implement the proposed services.
RECOMMENDATION:
MAYOR AND COUNCIL APPROVE THE:
APPROVE THE LETTER OF SUPPORT AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE LETTER ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF CORNING.

Kristin Johnson
Executive Director
Northern California Small Business Development Center
California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt Sponsored Programs Foundation Dear Ms. Johnson:
The City of Corning is pleased to support ChicoSTART's application to expand Small Business Development Center services in our region through a Northern California SBDC Neighborhood Branch in Corning.
As a community located along the Interstate 5 corridor, Corning serves as an important center for agricultural commerce, manufacturing, transportation, and small business activity in Northern California. Our local economy is supported by a strong agricultural base, including olive production and food processing, as well as retail and servicesector businesses that contribute to local employment and economic growth. Regional economic analyses project only modest employment and economic growth through 2033, which increases the importance of programs and resources that help entrepreneurs start businesses, support existing companies, access capital, and pursue growth opportunities (3CORE).
We value collaboration among public agencies, educational institutions, economic development organizations, lenders, workforce partners, and business support providers. ChicoSTART’s proposed Neighborhood Branch would strengthen these connections by increasing awareness of available business resources, improving access to technical assistance and capital, and creating additional pathways for entrepreneurs and small businesses to access the support needed to start, grow, and succeed.
Based on Corning’s established partnership with ChicoSTART, we believe ChicoSTART to be a valuable regional resource for entrepreneurship, innovation, and business development, and the ideal partner to host a NorCal SBDC Neighborhood Branch. Since launching its Accelerated By partnership with the City in 2024, ChicoSTART has connected Corning entrepreneurs with subject-matter expertise, mentorship, resources, and business training, including an Accelerate Your Business workshop and Entrepreneurship 101 programming. ChicoSTART's experience supporting entrepreneurs in Tehama County, regional partnerships, and ability to convene diverse stakeholders position it well to expand access to no-cost business advising, educational programming, and connections to capital and other growth resources. These services align closely with local economic development priorities focused on supporting entrepreneurs, strengthening existing businesses, increasing access to capital, creating and retaining jobs, and promoting long-term economic vitality.
For these reasons, the City of Corning supports ChicoSTART's application and looks forward to working with ChicoSTART and the NorCal SBDC to successfully implement Neighborhood Branch services and expand support for entrepreneurs and small businesses throughout the region.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Brant Mesker
City Manager
City of Corning
