• Scope of services and compensation as identified in Exhibit A. • Independent contractor status.
• Compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. • Required insurance and indemnification.
• Record retention and audit requirements.
• Conflict of interest provisions.
Termination rights and other standard contractual protections for the City.
The proposed agreement is consistent with the City's standard Independent Contractor Agreement and includes provisions that protect the City's interests while ensuring the Police Department has access to qualified phlebotomy services on an as-needed basis. The agreement has also been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City will compensate the contractor in accordance with the rates established in Exhibit A of the agreement.
Services will be utilized on an as-needed basis, and expenditures will be paid from the Police Department's approved budget.

AGENDA TITLE: Consideration of Supporting a Letter to Congressman Jim Costa Regarding Timely Processing of DACA Work Authorization Renewals.
ACTION & RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council discuss the matter and, if appropriate, authorize the Mayor to sign a letter expressing the City Council's support for timely processing of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) work authorization renewals and transmit the letter to Congressman Jim Costa.
BACKGROUND | ANALYSIS
On June 18, 2026, Councilmember Gregorio Gomez prepared and submitted a letter to Congressman Jim Costa expressing concern regarding delays in the processing of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) work authorization renewals. The letter explains that administrative delays have resulted in some eligible individuals temporarily losing their ability to work despite employers' willingness to retain them. The letter further states that these delays affect employees, their families, local employers, and the community as a whole.
The purpose of this agenda item is to allow the City Council to formally ratify the letter and affirm its support for the concerns expressed therein. Ratification confirms the Council's support for the correspondence and authorizes the letter as an official expression of the City Council's position.
DISCUSSION
The letter requests that Congressman Jim Costa continue advocating for timely processing of DACA work authorization renewals for individuals who remain eligible under the program. It emphasizes that delays in processing can create workforce shortages for employers, financial hardship for families, and negative impacts on the local economy.
By ratifying the letter, the City Council acknowledges and supports the communication that was sent and confirms that it reflects the Council's position regarding the importance of timely processing of employment authorization renewals and the impacts those delays have on the Farmersville community.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

CITY Of
FARMERSVILLE
07/27/2026
The Honorable Jim Costa
U.S. House of Representatives
Dear Congressman Costa,
I am writing to bring to your attention a growing concern affecting families and employers in our community. I have recently learned that some DACA recipients in our area are losing their employment because their work authorization renewals have not been processed in a timely manner, leaving employers unable to continue their employment despite their desire to do so.
These individuals are valued members of our workforce, contributing to local businesses, supporting their families, and strengthening our community. Many have lived in the United States for most of their lives and have built careers, purchased homes, and become deeply invested in the success of our region.
When delays in the renewal process occur, the consequences extend beyond the individual employee. Employers lose trained and experienced workers, families face financial uncertainty, and local economies are negatively impacted. In many cases, these workers have done everything required of them, yet administrative delays place their livelihoods at risk.
I respectfully ask that you continue advocating for policies and administrative solutions that provide timely processing of DACA renewals and prevent unnecessary interruptions in employment for those who remain eligible under the program. Ensuring that qualified individuals can maintain their work authorization without disruption benefits not only the recipients themselves but also the employers and communities that rely on their contributions.
Thank you for your service and for your attention to this important issue. I appreciate your fforts on behalf of the residents of the Central Valley and look forward to seeing continue eadership in addressing the challenges facing DACA recipients and their famille:
Sincerely,
Mayor Paul Boyer

The Honorable Jim Costa
U.S. House of Representatives
Dear Congressman Costa,
I am writing to bring to your attention a growing concern affecting families and employers in our community. I have recently learned that some DACA recipients in our area are losing their employment because their work authorization renewals have not been processed in a timely manner, leaving employers unable to continue their employment despite their desire to do so.
These individuals are valued members of our workforce, contributing to local businesses, supporting their families, and strengthening our community. Many have lived in the United States for most of their lives and have built careers, purchased homes, and become deeply invested in the success of our region.
When delays in the renewal process occur, the consequences extend beyond the individual employee. Employers lose trained and experienced workers, families face financial uncertainty, and local economies are negatively impacted. In many cases, these workers have done everything required of them, yet administrative delays place their livelihoods at risk.
I respectfully ask that you continue advocating for policies and administrative solutions that provide timely processing of DACA renewals and prevent unnecessary interruptions in employment for those who remain eligible under the program. Ensuring that qualified individuals can maintain their work authorization without disruption benefits not only the recipients themselves but also the employers and communities that rely on their contributions.
Thank you for your service and for your attention to this important issue. I appreciate your efforts on behalf of the residents of the Central Valley and look forward to seeing continued leadership in addressing the challenges facing DACA recipients and their families.
Sincerely,
Councilmember Gregorio Gomez

FARMERSVILLE TO: Farmersville City Council
MEETING DATE: July 27, 2026
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
FROM: Jay Brock, Interim City Manager
AGENDA TITLE: Parent/Caregiver Leadership Program - Meeting Location and Use of City Facilities
ACTION & RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council discuss the request from the Child Abuse Prevention Council regarding the use of a City facility for the Parent/Caregiver Leadership Program and provide direction regarding the meeting location, facility use agreement, fees, and insurance requirements.
BACKGROUND | ANALYSIS
The Child Abuse Prevention Council has requested the use of a Senior Center facility to conduct its Parent/Caregiver Leadership Program on Mondays from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The request is for the City Council to consider allowing the organization to use a City-owned facility for these meetings and provide direction regarding the appropriate location and any applicable facility use requirements.
The City Council may direct the City Attorney to prepare a Facility Use Agreement between the City of Farmersville and the Child Abuse Prevention Council, similar to agreements used for other City facilities.
Under this option, the City Council may determine whether rental fees should be waived or reduced.
Regardless of the fee structure, the organization would be required to provide proof of insurance to protect the City against potential liability, including property damage, theft, or personal injury occurring during use of the facility. Since City staff would not be present to open, close, or monitor the facility during meetings, appropriate insurance coverage and agreement terms are recommended.
FISCAL IMPACT
Depending on the direction provided by the City Council, the City may collect rental fees and deposits pursuant to the existing facility rental policy or waive or modify those fees through a Facility Use Agreement. Staff time associated with preparing agreements and coordinating facility use will be minimal.

Public Hearing
TO: Farmersville City Council
MEETING DATE: July 27, 2026
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
FROM: Jason Watts, City Engineer
AGENDA TITLE: 2026/2027 Landscape and Lighting Assessment Districts RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council conducts the Public Hearing and adopts Resolution 2026-026 through 2026-038 that accepts the engineer's report and levies the assessments for Farmersville's 2026/2027 Landscape and Lighting Assessment Districts.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The City currently has 13 landscape and lighting districts consisting of 822 individual lots formed as a part of the approval process of various subdivisions for maintaining the surrounding landscaping in each of the subdivisions. The City maintains the turf, shrubs, trees, irrigation systems, lighting (in some districts), and walls (in some districts) on the exterior of the parcels of land which are all located in the public right of way.
Each parcel within each subdivision is assessed an amount equal to their share of the costs for said maintenance. Each fiscal year, the City is required, by the rules for the assessment districts (in accordance with the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972), to do a cost accounting of the assessments for the upcoming year.
There are several steps in the process to recover the cost of maintenance for these districts. The following is a summary of the steps that have taken or will take place in this process:
1. On May 11, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution 2026-017 directing the City Engineer to prepare the Engineer's Report and set the Public Hearing for July 27, 2026.
There are currently 13 separate districts in the City consisting of 822 individual lots.
2. The City Engineer prepared the Engineer's Report and incorporated applicable charges for the individual districts.
3. On June 22, 2026, the City Council reviewed the Engineer's Report and adopted Resolution 2026-21 of intent to levy and collect assessments on the Landscape and Lighting Assessment Districts.
4. Advertised a notice in the newspaper on June 25, 2026, for the Public Hearing on July 27, 2026, announcing the annual updates.
5. On July 27, 2026, conduct a Public Hearing and adopt resolutions levying the assessments for each district.
1 6. After the Public Hearing and Council action, the City Clerk will deliver a master list with the assessment to be applied to each applicable parcel to the County Assessor's office.
7. The adjusted assessments will be added to the County's assessment rolls in August and the City would receive from the County the monies from the two normal, semiannual property tax collections (one in December and one in April) to pay the expense of providing the above maintenance activities.
Of the 13 districts, there are five districts for which the recommendation is up to a 3% increase in assessment per the allowable district formation limits (post-Proposition 218). Assessments for eight districts are to remain the same based on the district formation (pre-Proposition 218).
The Engineer's Report was made available for public review after the notice for the Public Hearing was published. It should be noted that no residents posted any comments or offered any testimony in writing regarding the assessments that are proposed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The assessment districts are self-funded, and costs recovered for the County Assessor cover the actual costs of maintaining the districts. The applicable charges will be included in the 2026/2027 fiscal budget.
CONCLUSION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:
a) Conducts a Public Hearing for July 27, 2026.
b) Adopts Resolutions 2026-026 through 2026-038 that accept the Engineer's Report and levy the assessments for Farmersville's 2026/2027 Landscape and Lighting Assessment Districts.

CITY OF Item #: 1
STAFF REPORT Discussion Items
FARMERSVILLE TO: Farmersville City Council
MEETING DATE: July 27, 2026
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
FROM: Michael L Farley, City Attorney
AGENDA TITLE: Discussion and Direction Regarding Councilmember Attendance at Conferences and Use of City Funds Without Prior Council Authorization
ACTION & RECOMMENDATION
Discuss the current practice regarding Councilmember attendance at conferences, trainings, and meetings tunded by the City, and provide direction to staff regarding whether prior City Council authorization should be required before City funds are used for registration, travel, lodging, meals, or other related expenses.
BACKGROUND | ANALYSIS
Councilmembers periodically attend conferences, training seminars, and professional meetings that provide educational opportunities and support effective governance. These events may include conferences hosted by organizations such as the League of California Cities, Cal Cities, the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC), and other governmental or professional associations.
The City currently budgets funds for Council training and travel. However, the City Council may wish to establish or clarify a policy regarding when Council approval is required before City funds are expended for these purposes.
Establishing a formal process for approving conference attendance helps ensure consistency, transparency, and accountability in the expenditure of public funds. Requiring City Council authorization before travel expenses are incurred allows the Council to:
• Ensure travel and training expenditures are consistent with the City's budget and priorities. • Promote transparency regarding the use of public funds. • Provide equal opportunity for all Councilmembers to attend conferences and training events. • Confirm that the conference or training provides a public benefit and is related to the Councilmember's official duties.
• Maintain consistent procedures for approving travel, registration, lodging, meals, and related expenses.
Alternatively, the City Council may determine that certain conferences or annual training events should be pre-approved through the annual budget or by adopting a travel policy that delegates approval under specified circumstances.
FISCAL IMPACT
Any conference, travel, lodging, registration, meal, or related expenses are paid from appropriated funds within the City's adopted budget. Requiring prior authorization would not necessarily increase or decrease expenditures but would establish a process for approving the use of those funds before expenses are incurred.
