SUBJECT: STREET SWEEPER REPAIR
______________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
• Approve and adopt Resolution No. 2024-60, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Crescent City Amending the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Budget of the City of Crescent City
BACKGROUND
The City owns, maintains and operates a 2008 Eglin street sweeper. The last scheduled preventive maintenance was performed on November 7, 2023, which included both the front and rear engine.
ITEM ANALYSIS
On June 3, 2024, the street sweeper required non-routine maintenance due to a loss of power. At that time, the City replaced the fuel pressure sensor and pressure relief valve but was not able to fix the cause of the loss of power. Babich Trucking LLC replaced the pressure valve on the rear of the engine block on June 24, 2024. They returned on July 2, 2024 to run further diagnostic tests. On July 29, 2024, Babich cleaned the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) circuit, the intake crossover tube and sensor, and replaced the EGR valves, fuel injectors, fuel lines, and fuel filter. The street sweeper has been returned to full service.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Repair charges are detailed in the table below.
Item Cost
Labor $6,401.25
Parts $7,869.31
Mileage $36.00
Tax on parts $635.19
Total $14,941.75
STREET SWEEPER BUDGET AMENDMENT
AUGUST 26, 2024
2 While there is available Fiscal Year 24-25 budget for vehicle and equipment parts, repairs of this magnitude are not included in the equipment maintenance budget. Typically, significant unforeseen expenses are brought before council for approval and to supplement the overall equipment budget so regular vehicle and equipment maintenance may be maintained. For this reason, staff is requesting approval of the attached Resolution No. 2024-60 to increase the FY 24-25 budget. As an Internal Service Fund, the Equipment Fund records expenses for maintaining the City’s fleet of vehicles and equipment, and the total expenses are then charged out to all of the City’s main operating funds on a pro rata basis.
STRATEGIC PLAN ASSESSMENT
GOAL 1: SUPPORT QUALITY SERVICES, COMMUNITY SAFETY, AND HEALTH TO
ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND EXPERIENCE OF OUR RESIDENTS AND
VISITORS
D. Provide and maintain an efficient, adequate infrastructure to provide for both current and future community needs.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR INSCORE AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: MARTHA D. RICE, CITY ATTORNEY
DATE: AUGUST 26, 2024
SUBJECT: TRI-AGENCY TERMINATION AGREEMENT
__________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
• Hear staff report
• Technical questions from Council
• Receive public comment
• Further Council discussion
• Approve the Termination Agreement regarding Tri-Agency Economic Development Authority
BACKGROUND
On Tuesday, June 11, 2024, a joint meeting of the City, County and Harbor District was held to discuss the future of the Tri-Agency Economic Development Authority, a joint powers authority created in 1975 as an independent public agency with a purpose to implement, coordinate and administer specific and general economic development programs within Del Norte County.
Following a discussion and failure of all three agencies to agree to a common version of the revised joint powers agreement, Mayor Inscore made a motion to mutually terminate the Tri-Agency pursuant to the mutual termination clause contained at section 8.03 of the joint powers agreement. The Mayor’s motion died for lack of a second. The County Board of Supervisors and the Harbor Board of Commissioners then each passed motions to mutually terminate the Tri-Agency and to share the costs of litigation, dissolution and other outstanding liabilities equally among the three member agencies.
On Monday, June 17, 2024, the City Council agreed to mutually terminate the Tri-Agency Economic Development Authority and to share the costs of existing litigation, dissolution, and any other debts or liabilities equally with the other two member agencies.
TRI-AGENCY TERMINATION AGREEMENT
AUGUST 26, 2024
2 ANALYSIS
The City Attorney has been working with the Harbor District’s General Counsel (Kyler Raden and Ruben Duran of BB&K) and County Counsel Jackie Roberts on creating a termination agreement that sets forth the respective duties and responsibilities of the member agencies.
The joint powers agreement itself states that the Tri-Agency cannot be dissolved so long as it has outstanding debts or liabilities. Through this termination agreement, the member entities agree to take responsibility for and pay any outstanding debts and liabilities of the Tri-Agency. The outstanding debts and liabilities of the agency consist of legal fees for the lawsuit filed by Linda Sutter and the cost of financial audits for FY 23-24 and FY 24-
25. Total legal fees are estimated to be less than $10,000 (or $3,333 each) and audits should be very simple as very few financial transactions were completed. The City’s adopted FY 24-25 budget includes $5,000 for the estimated costs of terminating the TriAgency.
The Agreement establishes a termination date of September 16, 2024 to allow time to accomplish some of the remaining wind-up transactions, including one more Tri-Agency meeting, if necessary, to authorize any final actions (close bank account, engage auditor, etc.).
The Agreement also provides that:
• County will be depository for the Tri-Agency’s records • City will receive and pay invoices (legal fees, auditor) and then bill the other member entities their 1/3 share
• If any assets are discovered in the future, they will be liquidated and split equally among the member agencies
• If any future claims are submitted against the Tri-Agency, the member agencies agree to meet and confer on the appropriate action to be taken Following execution of the Agreement by all member entities, the document will be filed with the Secretary of State and the State Controller.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The direct fiscal impact of the recommended action will be an expense to the General Fund in the same amount as the City’s equal share of the expenses and liabilities to be paid as part of terminating the Tri-Agency. Staff anticipate this cost to be less than $5,000.
ATTACHMENTS
• Termination Agreement Regarding the Tri-Agency Economic Development Authority
TERMINATION AGREEMENT
REGARDING
TRI-AGENCY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
This Termination Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into effective as of the last date signed (the “Effective Date”), by and between the County of Del Norte (“County”), the City of Crescent City (“City”), and the Crescent City Harbor District (“District”), who are collectively referred to herein as the “Member Agencies” of Tri-Agency Economic Development Authority, a California Joint Powers Authority (“Authority”).
RECITALS
A. The Authority was formed by the Member Agencies pursuant to the authority granted under that certain Joint Powers Agreement dated December 9, 1975, as amended by that certain Joint Powers Agreement dated October 28, 1997 (“JPA Agreement”); and B. The intent of the Joint Powers Agreement, as amended, was to form a joint powers organization for the implementation and execution of the Del Norte County Economic Development Action Plan and Strategy pursuant to the Special Economic Development and Adjustment Assistance program enacted by Congress in 1974, as well as for the implementation and execution of the Del Norte County Strategic Plan and other economic development programs; and
C. The Authority’s economic development activities were stymied for over a decade following a default on a USDA Rural Development loan that was used to assist small local businesses that were unable to obtain financial assistance through customary means (bank loans, etc.); and
D. On October 25, 2022, the City, County and District all agreed to contribute money to the Authority to pay off the balance of the USDA loan; and
E. On September 27, 2023, a local resident filed a lawsuit against the Authority alleging various violations of law pertaining to public agencies and the way in which they conduct business (the “Litigation”); and
F. In response to the Litigation, the Authority hired legal counsel and subsequently incurred $7,370.00 in legal expenses through August 12, 2024 with continued expenses to incur until the matter is resolved; and
G. On June 11, 2024, at a joint meeting of the City, County, and District, the County and the District both passed motions to mutually terminate the Authority and to share costs of litigation, dissolution, and other outstanding liabilities equally among the Member Agencies; and
H. On June 17, 2024, at a regular meeting of the Crescent City City Council (“City Council”) the City Council voted to mutually terminate the Authority pursuant to Section 8.03 of the JPA Agreement, and to share costs of litigation, dissolution, and other outstanding liabilities equally among the Member Agencies; and
I. The JPA Agreement, which provides for mutual termination upon the agreement of all Member Agencies (see § 8.03), requires that all liabilities of the Authority must be paid prior to dissolution, however the JPA Agreement does not state how said liabilities are to be apportioned among the Member Agencies; and
J. The Member Agencies desire to terminate the JPA Agreement, dissolve the Authority, and split all liabilities and obligations of the JPA pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Member Agencies hereby agree as follows:
1. Incorporation of Recitals. The Member Agencies hereby affirm the facts set forth in the Recitals above. Said Recitals are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference.
2. Termination of JPA Agreement. Pursuant to Section 8.03 of the JPA Agreement, the Member Agencies agree that the JPA Agreement will terminate in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as of September 16, 2024 (“Termination Date”), subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 3.
3. Transition Period. Prior to termination, the Authority will continue to operate for the sole purpose of winding up its affairs, including paying attorney fees for the Litigation, closing the Authority’s bank account, conducting meetings if necessary to vote on actions necessary to accomplish termination, etc. (“Transitional Activities”). It is contemplated that all Transitional Activities will be completed prior to the Termination Date. In the event that the Transitional Activities cannot be completed prior to the Termination Date, then the Termination Date may be extended up to ninety (90) days with the written confirmation of each of the Member Agencies with the concurrence of their respective legal counsel.
4. Book and Records. The books and records of the Authority will be archived and stored by County for a period of five (5) years following the Termination Date or such longer period as may be required by applicable law. County has agreed to serve as a depository only and the Member Agencies agree that County will have no ongoing obligations with respect to the maintenance of such books and records following dissolution.
5. Dissolution of the Authority. Prior to the Termination Date, the Authority will make such filings as are necessary with the California Secretary of State and the State Controller to formalize the dissolution of the Authority.
6. Costs and Liabilities. The Member Agencies hereby agree to split equally amongst themselves the following unpaid costs and liabilities upon dissolution of the Authority:
i. Legal fees to Robert N. Black pertaining to the Litigation through its resolution. ii. FY 23-24 and FY 24-25 Audits.
iii. Any other necessary ordinary business expenses associated with winding up the affairs of the Authority.
7. Assets. On the Termination Date, it is anticipated that the Authority will own zero assets. The small amount of funds that the Authority currently has in a bank account will be spent prior to dissolution paying any outstanding liabilities. If at any time in the future, an asset of the Authority is discovered, then the Member Agencies agree to liquidate that asset and distribute the proceeds equally among the Member Agencies.
8. No Additional Funding; No Liability. In no event will any Member Agency be obligated to provide any additional funding for the operation or termination of the Authority other than those committed to in this Agreement. The Member Agencies agree that the terms of Section
8.03 of the JPA Agreement remain in full force and effect and will survive the termination of the JPA Agreement.
9. Future Claims. In the event that any third party makes a claim against the Authority or the Member Agencies following the Termination Date, the Member Agencies agree to meet and confer with respect to any such claim and mutually agree on the appropriate action to be taken to protect the Member Agencies.
10. Notices, Demands and Communications Between the Parties.
