(G.A.R. Form AD, Revised 12124)
! (lf checked) This form is being provided in connection with a transaction for a leasehold interest exceeding one year as per Civil Code $$ 2079130, (k), and (l).
When ybu enter into a discussion with a real estate agent regarding a real estate transaction, you should from the outset understand what type of agency relationship or representation you wish to have with the agent in the transaction.
SELLER'S AGENT
A Seller's agent under a listing agreement with the Seller acts as the agent for the Seller only. A Seller's agent or a subagent of that agent has the following affirmative obligations:
To the Seller: A Fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in dealings with the Seller.
To the Buyer and the Seller:
(a) Diligent exercise of reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent's duties. (b) A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith.
(c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either party any confidential information obtained from the other party that does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.
BUYER'S AGENT
A Buyer's agent can, with a Buye/s consent, agree to act as agent for the Buyer only. This includes a Buyer's agent under a buyer-broker representation agreement with the Buyer. ln these situations, the agent is not the Seller's agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensation for services rendered, either in full or in part from the Seller. An agent acting only for a Buyer has the following affirmative obligations:
To the Buyer: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in dealings with the Buyer.
To the Buyer and the Seller:
(a) Diligent exercise of reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent's duties. (b) A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith.
(c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, orwithin the diligent attention and observation of, the parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either party any confidential information obtalned from the other party that does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above,
AGENT REPRESENTING BOTH SELLER AND BUYER
A real estate agent, either acting directly or through one or more salespersons and broker associates, can legally be the agent of both the Seller and the Buyer in a transaction, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Seller and the Buyer. ln a dual agency situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both the Seller and the Buyer:
(a) A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either the Seller or the Buyer. (b) Other duties to the Seller and the Buyer as stated above in their respective sections, ln representing both Seller and Buyer, a dual agent may not, without the express permission of the respective party, disclose to the other party confidential information, including, but not limited to, facts relating to either the Buyer's or Seller's financial position, motivations, bargaining position, or other personal information that may impact price, including the Seller's willingness to accept a price less than the listing price or the Buyer's willingness to pay a price greater than the price offered.
SELLER AND BUYER RESPONSIBILITIES
Either the purchase agreement or a separate document will contain a confirmation of which agent is representing_you and whether that agent is representing you exclusively in the transaction or acting as a dual agent. Please pay attention to that confirmation to make sure it accurately reflects your understanding of your agent's role.
The above duties of the agent in a real estate transaction do not relieve a Seller or Buyer from the responsibility to protect their own interests. You should carefi.rlly read all agreements to assure that they adequately express your understanding of the transaction. A real estate agent is a person qualified to advise about real estate. lf legal ortax advice is desired, consult a competent professional. lf you are a Buyer, you have the duty to exercise reasonable care to protect yourself, including as to those facts about the property which are known to you or within your diligent attention and observation.
Both Sellers and Buyers should strongly consider obtaining tax advice from a competent professional because the federal and state tax consequences of a transaction can be complex and subject to change.
Throughout your real property transaction you may receive more than one disclosure form, depending upon the number of agents assisti-ng in the transaition. the law require3 each agent with whom you have more than a casual relationship to present you.with this disclosu,-re form. You should read its contents each tlme it is presented to you, considering the relationship between you and the real estate agent in your specific transaction. This disclosure form includes the provisions of $$ 2079.13 to 2079.24, inclusive, of the Civil Code set forth on page 2. Read it carefully.
Note: Real estate broker commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable'

BUYER'S VACANT LAND ADDITIONAL INSPECTION
ADVISORY
(C.A.R. Form BVLIA, Revised 6/23)
Property Address: 1148 O Sfreet Firebauqh, 93622 ("Property") A. IMPORTANCE OF PROPERTY INVESTIGATION: The physical condition of the land and improvements being purchased is not guaranteed by either Seller or Brokers. For this reason, you should conduct thorough investigations of the Property personally and with professionals who should provide written reports of their investigations. A general physical inspection typically does not cover all aspects of the Property nor items affecting the Property that are not physically located on the Property. lf the professionals recommend further investigations, including a recommendation by a pest control operator to inspect inaccessible areas of the Property, you should contact qualified experts to conduct such additional investigations. Additionally, some inspections, such as those listed below, may be of particular importance when purchasing vacant land.
B. BUYER RIGHTS AND DUTIES: You have an affirmative duty to exercise reasonable care to protect yourself, including discovery of the legal, practical and technical implications of disclosed facts, and the investigation and verification of information and facts that you know, or that are within your diligent attention and observation. The purchase agreement gives you the right to investigate the Property. lf you exercise this right, and you should, you must do so in accordance with the terms of that agreement. This is the best way for you to protect yourself. lt is extremely important for you to read all written reports provided by professionals and to discuss the results of inspections with the professional who conducted the inspection. You have the right to request that Seller make repairs, corrections or take other action based upon items discovered in your investigations or disclosed by Seller. lf Seller is unwilling or unable to satisff your requests, or you do not want to purchase the Property in its disclosed and discovered condition, you have the right to cancel the agreement if you act within specific time periods. lf you do not perform, and you have not cancelled the agreement in a timely and proper manner, you may be in breach of contract.
C. SELLER RIGHTS AND DUTIES: Seller is required to disclose to you known material facts that affect the value or desirability of the Property. However, Seller may not be aware of some Property defects or conditions. Seller does not have an obligation to inspect the Property for your benefit nor is Seller obligated to repair, correct or othenadse cure known defects that are disclosed to you or previously unknown defects that are discovered by you or your inspectors during escrow. The purchase agreement obligates Seller to make the Property available to you for investigations.
D. BROKER OBLIGATIONS: Brokers do not have expeftise in all areas and therefore cannot advise you on many items, such as soil stability, geologic or environmental conditions, hazardous or illegal controlled substances, structural conditions of the foundation or other improvements, or the condition of the roof, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, electrical, sewer, septic, waste disposal, or other system. The only way to accurately determine the condition of the Property is through an inspection by an appropriate professional selected by you. lf Broker gives you referrals to such professionals, Broker does not guarantee their performance. You may select any professional of your choosing. lf you have entered into a written agreement with a Broker, the specific terms of that agreement will determine the nature and extent of that Broker's duty to you. YOU ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO INVESTIGATE THE CONDITION AND SUITABILITY OF ALL ASPECTS OF THE PROPERW. IF YOU DO NOT DO SO, YOU ARE ACTING AGAINST THE ADVICE OF BROKERS.
E. YOU ARE ADVISED TO CONDUCT INVESTIGATIONS OF THE ENTIRE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING:
1. FINANCE: Financing the purchase of vacant land and especially financing construction loans for the improvement of vacant land can provide particular challenges, including subordination agreements and insurance requirements.
Buyer is advised to seek the assistance of reputable lenders in assistance with their decisions regarding financing of the property. 2. CONSTRUCTION COSTS: lf Buyer is contemplating building improvements on the property, Buyer is advised that they will have to contact any contractors, service providers, suppliers, architects, utility companies regarding the costs of improvements. Buyer is advised to get written bids from all such persons regarding their decision to develop the property. 3. UTILITIES: Unimprbved property may or may not have utilities available to the property. Buyer(s) is advised to obtain information from the public or private utility provider about the availability and cost of providing utilities to thepropertyandwhetherneceSSaryeasementsareinplacetoallowsuchutilitiestotheproperty 4. ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEY: Unimproved land may have had or may have hazardous materials stored upon or under the land or been used by persons engaged in activities exposing the land to hazardous materials. The land may also be host to protected vegetation or animal life. Buyer(s) is advised to satisfy themselves as what hazards or frotected plant or animal life are on the property and what impact they may have on Buyer's future plans for the property by seeking the help of a qualified professional. @ h6 2023, California Association of REALTORS@, lnc.

(C.A.R. Form PRBS, Revised 5/25)
1. BROKER AGENCY RELATIONSHIP WITH MULTIPLE PRINCIPALS: A real estate broker ("Brokerage"), whether a corporation, partnership or sole proprietorship, may legally represent more than one buyer or seller. This multiple representation can occur through a sole proprietor Brokerage; or through a salesperson or broker acting under the Brokerage's license ("Associate Licensee"). Associate Licensees under a Brokerage's license may be working out of the same or different office locations, and may or may not know one another. Clients of the Brokerage may have similar goals and may compete against each other for the same property or the same pool of prospective buyers. Some buyers and sellers prefer to work with individual, sole proprietor brokerages, some with brokerages that have multiple licensees, and others with large brokerage companies that have multiple offices and may have a regional, statewide or a national or international presence. Each has its own advantages. lt is important for buyers and sellers to understand how the Brokerage representation of multiple buyers or sellers may impact them under various situations.
A. MUITIPLE BUYERS: Brokerage (individually or through any of its Associate Licensees) may work with many prospective buyers at the same time. These prospective buyers may have an interest in, and make offers on, the same propertids. Some of these properties may be listed by the Brokerage. Whether Brokerage is large or small, it is possible that one Associate-Licensee (agent 1) working with a buyer may not be aware that another AssociateLicensee (agent 2) is working with a different buyer who is interested in viewing or making an offer on the same property as agent 1's client, and vise-versa. Brokerage will not limit or restrict any buyer from making an offer on any specific property, whether or not the Brokerage represents other buyers interested in the same property.
B. MULTIPLE SELLERS: Brokerage (individually or through its Associate Licensees) may have listings on many properties at the same time. As a result, Brokerage will attempt to find buyers for each of those listed properties.
Some listed properties may appeal to the same prospective buyers. Some properties may attract more prospective buyers than others. Some of these prospective buyers may be represented by Brokerage and some may. not.
Brokerage will market all listed properties to all prospective buyers, whether or not Brokerage has other listed properties that may appeal to the same prospective buyers.
C. bUAl ACEHCY lN A'TRANSACTION: California law allows a brokerage to represent both a buyer and a seller in a transaction (Civil Code S 2079 et seq.).
(1) Brokerage Dual Agency: lf one Associate-Licensee from the Brokerage is working with a buyer and another Associate-Licensee from the same Brokerage is working with a seller on the same transaction, the Brokerage is considered a dual agent with fiduciary duties to both buyer and seller. ln that situation, each individual Associate Licensee working on the transaction is also considered a dual agent having the same knowledge and responsibility as the Brokerage.
(2) Single Ageht Dual Agency: Another form of dual agency occurs when an individual Associate-Licensee is working with both the buyer and seller in the same transaction. ln that situation, both the Brokerage company and the individual Associate-Licensee are dual agents with fiduciary duties to each side of the transaction.
There is no one approach to this situation. Some brokerages allow the single agent dual agent to continue to represent both parties, as that Associate-Licensee is the chosen agent of the principal. Some brokerages recommend that the broker or an office manager get involved if there is a dispute between the buyer and seller.
Some brokerages will require that the broker or an office manager assist the Associate-Licensee with one principal or the other, even if the parties do not have a dispute. Whether one of these approaches, or another, is taken in a single agent dual agency will depend on the circumstances and the brokerage policy. Regardless of the approadh-, the Associate-Licensee and Brokerage shall conduct activity consistent with the terms in paragraph 2G. 2. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTAND CONSENT: A. OFFERS ARE NOT NECESSARILY CONFIDENTIAL: Buyer is advised that seller or listing agent may disclose the existence, terms, or conditions of buyer's offer to other interested buyers and agents unless all pafties and their agent have signed a written confidentiality agreement, (C.A.R. Form NDA). ln the absence of a signed NDA, Buyer consents to such disclosure, Whether any such information is actually disclosed depends on many factors, such as current market conditions, the prevailing practice in the real estate community, the listing agent's marketing strategy, and the instructions of the seller. B. MULTIPLE BUYERS OR SELLERS: lf Seller is represented by Brokerage, Seller acknowledges that Brokerage may represent prospective buyers of Seller's property and consents to Brokerage acting as a dual agent for both Seller and buyer in that transaction. lf Buyer is represented by Brokerage, Buyer acknowledges that Brokerage may represent sell-ers of property that Buyer is interested in acquiring and consents to Brokerage acting as a dual agent for both Buyer and seller with regard to that property.
C. DUAL AGENCY lN A TRANSACTION: ln the event of dual agency, Seller and Buyer agree that: (i) a dual agent may not, without the express permission of the respective party, disclose to the other party confidential information, including, but not limited to, facts relating to either the buyer's or seller's financial position, motivations, bargaining position, or other personal information that may impact price, including the Seller's willingness to accept a price iess than the listing price or the Buyer's willingness to pay a price greater than the price offered; and (ii) except as set forth above, a dual agent is obligated to disclose known facts materially affecting the value or desirability of the Property to both parties.

WIRE FRAUD AND ELECTRONIC FUNDS
TRANSFER ADVISORY
(C.A.R. Form WFA, Reviewed 6/25)
WIRE FRAUD AND ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFERS ADVISORY:
The ability to communicate and conduct business electronically is a convenience and reality in nearly all parts of our lives.
At the same time, it has provided hackers and scammers new opportunities for their criminal activity. Many businesses have been victimized and the real estate business is no exception.
While wiring or electronically transferring funds is a welcome convenience, we all need to exercise extreme caution.
Emails attempting to induce fraudulent wire transfers have been received and have appeared to be legitimate. Reports indicate that some hackers have been able to intercept emailed transfer instructions, obtain account information and, by altering some of the data, redirect the funds to a different account. lt also appears that some hackers were able to provide false phone numbers for verifying the wiring or funds transfer instructions. ln those cases, the victim called the number provided to confirm the instructions, and then unwittingly authorized a transfer to somewhere or someone other than the intended recipient.
ACCORD!NGLY, YOU ARE ADVISED:
1. Obtain phone numbers and account numbers only from Escrow Officers, Property Managers, or Housing Providers at the beginning of the transaction.
2. DO NOT EVER WIRE OR ELECTRONICALLY TRANSFER FUNDS PRIOR TO CALLING TO CONFIRM THE TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS. ONLY USE A PHONE NUMBER YOU WERE PROVIDED PREVIOUSLY. Do not use any different phone number or account number included in any emailed transfer instructions.
3. Orally confirm the transfer instruction is legitimate and confirm the bank routing number' account numbers and other codes before taking steps to transfer the funds.
4. Avoid sending personal information in emails or texts. Provide such information in person or over the telephone directly to the Escrow Officer, Property Manager, or Housing Provider.
5. Take steps to secure the system you are using with your email account. These steps include creating strong passwords, using secure WiFi, and not using free services. lf you believe you have received questionable or suspicious wire or funds transfer instructions, immediately notify your bank, and the other party, and the Escrow Office, Housing Provider, or Property Manager. The sources below, as well as others, can also provide information:
Federal Bureau of lnvestigation: https://www.fbi.gov/; the FBI's lC3 at www.ic3.gov; or 310'477-6565 National White Collar Crime Center: http://www.nw3c.org/ On Guard Online: https://www.onguardonline. gov/
NOTE: There are existing alternatives to electronic and wired fund transfers such as cashier's checks.
The term "Housing Provider" also includes Landlord or Rental Property Owner.

CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT ADVISORY,
DISCLOSURE AND NOTICE
(C.A.R. Form GCPA, Revised 12122)
The California Consumer Privacy Act (commencing with Civil Code S 1798.100) ('CCPA"), as amended by California voters in 2020, grants to California residents certain rights in their private, personal information ("P1") that is collected by companies with whom they do business. Under the CCPA, Pl is defined broadly to encompass non-public records information that could reasonably be linked directly or indirectly to you. Pl could potentially include photographs of, or sales information about, your property.
During the process of buying and selling real estate your Pl will be collected and likely shared with others, including real estate licensees, a Multiple Listing Service, real estate internet websites, service providers, lenders, and title and escrow companies, to name several possibilities. Businesses that are covered by the CCPA are required to grant you various rights in your Pl, including the right to know what Pl is collected, the right to know what Pl is sold or shared and to whom, the right to request that the business correct or delete your Pl, the right to "opt out" or stop the transfer of your Pl to others, and the right to limit the use of certain Pl which is considered "sensitive." You may get one or more notices regarding your CCPA rights from businesses you interact with in a real estate transaction. However, not all businesses that receive or share your Pl are obligated to comply with the CCPA. Moreover, businesses that are othenruise covered under the CCPA may have a legal obligation to maintain Pl, notwithstanding your instruction to the contrary. For instance, regardless of whether they are covered by CCPA, under California law, brokers and Multiple Listing Services are required to maintain their records for 3 years. lf you wish to exercise your rights under CCPA, where applicable, you should contact the respective business directly.
You can obtain more information about the CCPA and your rights under the law from the State of California Department of Justice (oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa). Additionally, the California Privacy Protection Agency is authorized to promulgate regulations which may further clarify requirements of the CCPA (cppa.ca.gov/regulations/). l/we acknowledge receipt of a copy Gonsumer Privacy Act Advisory, Disclosure and Notice.

Bob Murray & Associates Proposal for the City of Firebaugh Page 2
THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS
Bob Murray & Associates’ recruiters are specialists in finding positive placements and providing security and fairness to candidates and clients while ensuring the integrity of the search process. Outlined below are the steps in our proven recruitment process, refined through our 34+ years of experience in executive recruiting.
STEP 1 DEVELOP THE CANDIDATE PROFILE
Our understanding of the City of Firebaugh’s needs will be key to a successful search.
Valerie Gaeta Phillips, Yasmin Beers, Stacey Stevenson, Jon Lewis, or Ian Schmutzler will meet virtually with the City to learn as much as possible about the ideal candidate for the Human Resources Officer position. We want to become familiar with the values and culture of the organization, as well as to understand the current and future issues, challenges, and opportunities in the City of Firebaugh.
Your recruiter will review and help define the City’s wish-list regarding the ideal candidate’s personality, management style, knowledge, skills, and abilities and will work with the City to identify expectations regarding education and experience. The City and your recruiter will discuss compensation, benefits, and other key information necessary to ensure that outstanding candidates are attracted to this opportunity. The profile we develop together at this stage will drive subsequent recruitment efforts.
STEP 2 DESIGN/DISTRIBUTE BROCHURE AND ADVERTISEMENTS
Ms. Gaeta Phillips, Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, Mr. Lewis, or Mr. Schmutzler and your dedicated Recruitment Coordinator will use the candidate profile developed with the City of Firebaugh to create a professional recruitment brochure, with the assistance of our professional graphic designer. The four-page, full-color brochure will describe the community, organization, position, ideal candidate, and compensation and will include pictures provided by the City of Firebaugh that you feel best represent your organization and your community.
Upon your approval, Ms. Gaeta Phillips, Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, Mr. Lewis, or Mr.
Schmutzler will send the brochure by email (and postal mail if desired) to a targeted audience, personally inviting potential candidates to apply for the Human Resources Director position. We will also place the recruitment brochure on our website, which attracts over 11,000 unique hits weekly and is a trusted resource for candidates seeking executive and professional positions. Two sample brochures are included in this proposal package for your reference.
Ms. Gaeta Phillips, Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, Mr. Lewis, or Mr. Schmutzler will also design an effective advertising campaign appropriate for the Human Resources Director recruitment. Our broadest outreach comes through our active social media involvement on LinkedIn as well as our monthly newsletter where upcoming and current positions are featured. Sources such as Western City Magazine, PublicCEO, and the Careers in Government website will be used to reach an extensive local government Bob Murray & Associates Proposal for the City of Firebaugh Page 3 audience, while position-specific postings will be chosen to attract candidates who have built their careers in and are committed to the Human Resources field.
Suggested Human Resources Officer-specific advertising sources for the City of Firebaugh’s search include:
International Public Management Association for Human Resources National Human Resources Association
Northwest Human Resources Management Association
National Public Employers Labor Relations Association
Bob Murray & Associates does not typically place ads with job aggregators or general job posting sites such as CareerBuilder, Monster, or Indeed, as we have found that the broad reach of these sites does not necessarily lead to quality candidates for executive and professional positions.
Reaching Diverse Candidates
Bob Murray & Associates, a woman- and minority-owned business, is proud of its commitment to attracting and placing diverse candidates. Nearly 50% of our last 100 placements were women; Hispanic placements 25%; African American placements 13%; Asian placements 21%; and Native American placements at 1%. Not only do we place advertisements with websites designed to attract minority and female candidates, but our President, Valerie Phillips, is a member herself of many diversity-focused organizations including the Local Government Hispanic Network, the League of Women in Government, the Professional Women’s Network, Mexican Professionals, and Women Leading Government. She networks frequently with fellow members to gain insight into which potential candidates are leaders in their field.
Ms. Gaeta Phillips, Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, Mr. Lewis, or Mr. Schmutzler will seek to reach candidates in communities and organizations with demographic profiles and populations served like that of the City of Firebaugh, to maximize the potential for individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences to be considered for the Human Resources Director position.
STEP 3 RECRUIT CANDIDATES
The strongest candidates are often those who are successful and content in their current positions and need to be sold on a new opportunity. Our extensive network of contacts, developed through over 2,100 successful placements, is a primary source for identifying and obtaining referrals for these candidates. Our in-house database of 40,000 current and former executive and professional candidates is a valuable resource that can only be built over time—time that we have invested into perfecting our process for finding the right candidates for our clients. Our aggressive outreach efforts are focused on phone calls to personally invite potential applicants, answer questions, and allay any Bob Murray & Associates Proposal for the City of Firebaugh Page 4 reservations, and these efforts are essential to the success of the Human Resources Officer recruitment.
STEP 4 SCREEN CANDIDATES
Following the closing date for the recruitment, Ms. Gaeta Phillips, Ms. Beers, Ms.
Stevenson, Mr. Lewis, or Mr. Schmutzler will screen all resumes we have received, using the criteria established in the candidate profile as a basis upon which to narrow the field of candidates. Internal candidates receive sensitive consideration, and Ms. Gaeta Phillips, Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, Mr. Lewis, or Mr. Schmutzler will discuss with the City how the City of Firebaugh wishes to proceed with these candidates.
STEP 5 CONDUCT PRELIMINARY INTERVIEWS
Ms. Gaeta Phillips, Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, Mr. Lewis, or Mr. Schmutzler will personally interview the top 10 to 15 candidates from the resume screening, with the goal of determining which candidates have the greatest potential to succeed in your organization. To reduce travel-related expenses to our clients and increase efficiency in the search process, these interviews are typically conducted via Zoom, Teams, or other convenient videoconferencing applications.
STEP 6 SEARCH PUBLIC RECORDS
Under the direction of your Recruiter, your dedicated Recruitment Coordinator will conduct a review of published print and online articles for each recommended candidate. Sources include Lexis-Nexis™, Google, social media, and our contacts in the field. This will alert Ms. Gaeta Phillips, Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, Mr. Lewis, or Mr.
Schmutzler to any further detailed inquiries we may need to make before our recommendations are finalized.
STEP 7 MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on our findings during the preliminary interview process, Ms. Gaeta Phillips, Ms.
Beers, Ms. Stevenson, Mr. Lewis, or Mr. Schmutzler will meet with the City virtually to share the complete applicant list and recommend a limited number of candidates for your further consideration. Ms. Gaeta Phillips, Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, Mr. Lewis, or Mr. Schmutzler will make specific recommendations and will help facilitate discussions regarding the candidate pool, but the final determination of interviewees will be up to you.
We typically recommend 6-8 candidates that we feel best match your expectations and prepare a detailed report on each candidate. This virtual “Recommended Finalist” eBook is provided to each member of the decision-making body and includes:

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Freddy Valdez and Council Members
From: Fernando Campa, Chief of Police
Date: 8/03/2026
Re: Staff Report
The Firebaugh Police Department remains committed to providing professional, proactive, and community-focused law enforcement services through public education, crime prevention, and community engagement.
Several community events are scheduled over the coming months, and the Police Department looks forward to participating in them. These events provide valuable opportunities to engage with residents, build positive relationships, educate the public on crime prevention and public safety, and reinforce the department's commitment to professional, community-focused service.
Criminal Investigations
Officers continue to actively investigate criminal incidents throughout the community. They are developing leads and gathering information related to the recent fires in the area, as well as the recent shooting investigation. Both cases remain active and investigating officers are continuing to pursue all available leads.
Training
Department personnel continue to participate in training that enhances professional knowledge, operational readiness, and employee wellness. Reserve Officer B. Vang and Officer A. Albarran successfully completed the California Department of Justice Draeger 7510 PEBT Training.
Officer J. Perez attended Use of Force and Patrol Shield Tactics Training, while Officers J.
Molina, V. Rodriguez, and A. Martinez completed Struggle Well training, which focuses on building resilience and supporting officer wellness. Sgt. M. Martinez, Officer R. Tabares, and I attended the Reserve Coordinator Workshop, where we gained valuable best practices that will assist in strengthening and revitalizing the department's Reserve Officer Program. Page 2
Personnel Updates
Recruitment efforts continue as Records Supervisor R. Tabares finalizes recruitment announcements for the positions of Police Corporal, Police Officer, Reserve Officer and Public Safety Dispatcher. These vacancies will be posted soon as we work to attract qualified candidates and strengthen department staffing.
Corporal J. Castillo is coordinating an upcoming DUI Checkpoint, with a public media release to be issued prior to the operation. DUI checkpoints serve as an important tool to deter impaired driving, educate the public, and enhance roadway safety.
I have completed about one month as Chief of Police. I want to thank the Police Department and City staff for all their help and support during this transition. Their teamwork has made the transition smooth. I look forward to continuing to work together to provide the best possible service to the residents of the City of Firebaugh.
Respectfully,
Chief Fernando Campa
