PUBLIC COMMENT
Twilia Gonzales stated, o'I am a long-time resident of this town, have lived here for over 55 years, and worked here for over 36 years, and raised my family here. The reason why I'm here is because over the past few years, we have noticed and started to see more homelessness, and being a founder of a 501C (Operation Blessed Housing), started back in 2022, as I'm getting ready to retire. I want to focus on where we can build tiny homes to assist some of the homeless people around town, and our mission is to help and provide homes to the elderly, disabled, and people with children, so we're here to ask Firebaugh to be the first city (Pilot Project), where we can start the housing project. Due to the inflation we are seeing, the people thatare working are broke because the cost of living has outgrown people's paychecks with the current economy. So, we're asking the city specifically for a grant or seed funding to help launch the pilot and to access the land needed to place the homes. If the city has received any land that may have been donated, we can use where we can put the pilot homes, and local coordination with the city on permits and things like that. The manufacturing company would be handling the permits."
Stephanie Gonzales wanted to thank the council for including the comments in the meeting records. I think it is a very valuable and beneficial piece of information to help convey what's happening within the city and to hopefully get more community members engaged in the actions thatarc taking place.

PUBLIC HEARING
2. THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FIREBAUGH TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING FOR CLOSEOUT OF 22-CDBG-NH-OOO14 GRANT.
The public hearing opened at 5:38 pm - Comments from Stephanie Gonzales included a question about whether grant expenditures were available for review, and if so, where those records are kept. Regarding the sub-recipient, it is selected through a bid oppornrnity or partnership development when a grant is proposed. P. Ashby replied that all drawdowns are public records and are available at City Hall for review. The sub-recipient could be directly chosen by the city, since the organization is a non-profit group. The city entered into an agreement with the Salvation Army.
The city was asked to apply for the funds on their behalf because only the city can apply for CDBG funding. S.
Gonzales asked if the sub-recipient provided any monetary match. P. Ashby answered that the Salvation Army did not provide a monetary match but contributed significantly through staff time. S. Gonzales inquired about the $160,500---does the city know what percentage was paid to the Salvation Army's admin staff or the city? P. Ashby explained thatTYo of the $160,500 can be used for general administrative costs, and the remaining funds go to the Salvation Army for food purchases, staff time, volunteer mileage, and other expenses. S. Gonzales thanked Ashby for explaining how the parhership is developed and how funds are allocated. Council Member Lopez asked if the city has the opportunity to reapply. Ashby confirmed that the city has re-applied and was successfully awarded the funds and is now waiting for the contract to proceed. The hearing closed at 5:46 pm.
Motion to approve closeout of grant by Council Member Jenkins, seconded by Council Member Perez, the motion passed by u 5-0 vote.
3. THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FIREBAUGH PUBLIC HEARING PRESENTATTON OF STATE CDBG 2025 NOFA GRANT PROGRAM.
P. Ashby provided an update on the CDBG grant and explained that the City is participating as a non-entitlement community, meaning it must compete for funding. The Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) is issued every two years. There has been a change in the selection process from over the counter (1't come, lst serve) to documents must be ready but will be scored now. Application can't exceed $3.6 million. Once the project is decided, the council will approve the resolution to be submitted.
The Public hearing opened aI5:53 pm - A member of the public asked if the city is the only one that can apply. Nonprofits can't apply directly for the grant, meaning a non-profit would have to be in partnership with the city, and who would be the contact? The mayor replied, "Yes, correct, the city manager." A member of the Public continued, tiny homes were mentioned as a possible project. I can set the business model for the non-profit; everything is dependent on the setup we can get, and I love to talk with the city more about it. Stephanie Gonzales stated, "The city probably has a list of projects or programs that could benefit from these funds and have successfully in the past, but I wonder how the projects are selected," City Manager replied, it's usually based on the need of the community, and the scoring of a project, being a non-entitlement (one of two cities in the county) allows the city to apply for larger amounts of funding and it is more competitive, so it's more risky but has paid off for the city. Gonzales added, so based on what would be the most successful in the rating or scoring process, and the grant application is also available for review? Ashby responded, "The scoring is available on the HCD website, under CDBG." Gonzales stated she is only asking because she is curious about how the community as a whole can decide which are the best projects, since there are many options. City Manager informed her that the city uses the CIP (Capital Improvement Projects), which is part of the application requirement. Gonzales asked outside of this Public Hearing, is there any other way for the community to be part of the discussion or selection process, and in what format? City Manager invited S. Gonzales to visit City Hall for more discussion. - Hearing closed at 6:00 pm.

AGENDA ITEM 11
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: lI-17 -2025
SUBJECT: Approval of Contract for Senior Center Roof Repair
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the selection of Marantha Enterprises Company for the Senior Center roof repair project and authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Marantha Enterprises Company for an amount of $21,5i0.00.
BACKGROI]ND
The roof at the Senior Center has been identified as being in need of immediate repair due to leaks, and aging materials. To address this issue, the Public Works Department solicited three bids from qualified roofing contractors.
Despite requesting three proposals, the City received two bids:
o ARMAMENT
r Marantha Enterprises Company
ANALYSIS
Upon review of the submitted proposals, staff determined that Marantha Enterprises Company provided the most thorough and detailed scope of work. Their proposal clearly outlined the methods, materials, and project timeline to ensure a long-lasting repair.
Marantha Enterprises Company has been in business since 2000, with a solid track record of providing quality workmanship and reliable service for similar municipal projects.
The proposal submitted by ARMAMENT was reviewed; however, it was less comprehensive in detailing the approach and specifications of the work.
F'ISCAL IMPACT
This project was not included in the curent fiscal year budget. Therefore, staff is requesting Council authorization ofappropriate funds from the General Fund to cover the cost ofthe repair.

Customer Reviews
Paul Charles - Best service all-around - hands down. This company told me everything they were going to do and they did it. The pricing was accurate, their scheduling was prompt, their communication was clear and the end work was executed thoroughly.
They valued my time and my property. They went above and beyond the call of duty and when it was all said and done, they cleaned up after themselves immaculately. They left my property in better condition than they found it and gave me a great product.
Armament Coatings and Roofing comes highly recommended. Thank you all.
Michele Streichtrout - Great work and good customer service. I appreciated them coming out and actually looking at the roof and taking the time to really look at it and send pictures of the concern areas. Also showing the differences in shingles products. I highly recommend them.
Peggy Schulze - Very happy with our new roof. Matt who came out and gave us our quote and Steve who supervised the job were great. Easy to work with, professional and communicative. Also very thorough.
Jason Andersen - I needed an underlayment replacing for my solar project.
Armament came in and gave me a thorough inspection before giving me a very competitive quote. The day of the work I received a phone call ahead of time to let me know the crew was on their way. They completed the work efficiently and correctly. After the work I received a detailed summary of the work including pictures for -

Key Updates Established by SB 707 signed into law on October 3,2025 - Brown Act The bill amends the Ralph M. Brown Act (California's open meetings law) and uses a definition an ooeligible legislative bodyo' based on population thresholds. According to $ 54953.4 (new):
. City councils in cities with 30,000 or more residents. . County boards of supervisors (or city-and-county governments) with 300000 or more residents. . City councils in smaller cities if those cities are located within a county of 600,000 or more residents.
For cities, counties, or districts that meet the population/revenue thresholds, the law adds several new obligations to the Brown Act:
1. Remote Public Access - Meetings must allow public participation through two-way telephonic or audiovisual platforms (e.g., Zoom or phone call-in).
2. Disruption/Restoration Policy - By July 1r 2026, agencies must adopt a policy on how to handle technology failures. If a disruption occurs, the meeting must pause for at least one hour or postpone affected items.
3. Language Access -
o Agendas and key web materials must be translated into any language spoken by 20Vo or more of residents with limited English proficiency (per U.S. Census ACS data). o Agencies must provide a physical posting location for the public to post their own translations and maintain a multi-language webpage for public meetings.
4. Community Outreach - Agencies must make reasonable efforts to engage underrepresented and non-English-speaking communities, including offering electronic requests for agendas.
5. Teleconferencing Rules Update - Modernized provisions apply to all legislative bodies, ensuring accessibility for persons with disabilities and requiring disclosure if others are present with a remote participant.
What doesnt apply (or how it applies) to cities under 30,000 population What this means for a small city (< 30,000):
. The o'enhanced" translation / remote access/outreach requirements associated with $ 54953.4 for eligible legislative bodies likelv do not aoolv.
. The standard Brown Act rules (for all legislative bodies) still apply (e.g., agenda posting, public participation, teleconferencing under older rules). SB 707 doesnot exemnt small cities from the Brown Act entirelv. For example, remote teleconferencing rules apply to all bodies, though the stringent translation/remote-public-participation apply to eligible bodies. California Law)'ers Association o If the city is in a large county (600,000+ population) then it may still be "eligible" despite its own small size, will need to check the countv population.
. Even if exempt, such cities may choose to voluntarily adopt best practices inspired by SB 707, though they are not required by this statute's "eligible body" provisions.
