ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION

3. EDBG Loan – CHIP Hazel Hotel Loan Restructure
City Council to consider the approval of a loan restructuring for the CHIP Hazel Hotel.

Recommended Action(s):
a. Approve a 5-year deferral of loan payments, with payments resuming in September 2030. Once payments resume, the loan will be re-amortized based on the remaining balance of approximately $192,000, with a new maturity date of 2060; and, b. Allow the City Administrator to sign the necessary agreements Finance Director Martin Pineda requested Council approval for the restructuring of the CHIP Hazel Hotel EDBG loan. He explained that CHIP had contacted the City of Gridley in September seeking either loan forgiveness or a payment deferral. In response, he presented different options to CHIP, including the five-year deferral plan.

Seana O’Shaughnessy, President of CHIP, addressed the Council to reaffirm Pineda’s explanation.

She noted that when the Hazel Hotel was acquired in early 2000s, CHIP relied heavily on rental income from the commercial units on the ground floor to cover building operations and maintenance costs.

Mayor Farr asked what CHIP’s long-term plan is, given that the commercial units remain fully leased, and how the organization intends to maintain financial stability after the five-year deferral period. O’Shaughnessy responded that they are working to do a comprehensive cost analysis, but GRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: Regular Meeting of 8-18-25 Page 3 of 7 she emphasized that with the deferral agreement in place, CHIP is committed to resuming regular payments after five years to ensure the loan obligations are met.

Sidewalk Hazard Inspection and Repair Program – Precision Concrete Cutting GRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: Regular Meeting of 8-18-25 Page 4 of 7 City staff respectfully recommends that the City Council consider the attached proposal from Precision Concrete Cutting to address sidewalk trip hazards, reduce liability exposure, and improve pedestrian safety throughout the City.

Recommended Action(s):
a. Accept the proposal submitted by Precision Concrete Cutting in the amount not to exceed $20,458 for inspections
b. Authorize City Administrator to execute any necessary agreements Public Works Director Jerry Cox presented the staff report requesting Council approval of the proposal from Precision Concrete for the Sidewalk Hazard Inspection and Repair Program. The proposal includes evaluating the City’s 53 miles of sidewalks and providing a report that prioritizes hazards from most severe to least, along with associated repair costs. Once the report is completed, the City may choose to contract with Precision Concrete for the identified repairs or elect to complete the work in-house.

6. State Route 99 – Fire Hydrant Relocation
City Council to consider authorizing the City Administrator to execute a contract with Tungsten Engineering Contractors in the amount of $65,538.06 for the construction relocations of three fire hydrants that are in conflict with the new sidewalk along north bound side of State Route 99
a. Approve contract with Tungsten Engineering in the amount of $65,538.06 b. Authorize City Administrator to execute any necessary agreements City Engineer Dave Harden presented the item and informed Council of the need to relocate three City hydrants that conflict with the proposed Caltrans sidewalk improvements under the SHOPP project. He explained that although the issue was not identified during the design and utility coordination with Caltrans, the City would have been responsible for the relocation regardless.

Harden noted that the City has since received a lower proposal than the one originally referenced, from Blue Collar Plumbing submitting a bid of $32,882.

GRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: Regular Meeting of 8-18-25 Page 5 of 7 Vice Mayor Johnson expressed concern that the oversight occurred on the part of both Caltrans and City Engineering. He requested that the City explore the possibility of Caltrans reimbursing the relocation costs. Councilmember Calderon shared similar concerns and suggested delaying action until after meeting with Caltrans.

City Administrator Arteaga emphasized that her primary concern is safety, and having hydrants in the middle of newly constructed sidewalks would not be advisable. She explained that if the City does not approve an agreement to relocate the hydrants now, the contractor may proceed with pouring concrete around them, as they still meet ADA standards. This would make future relocation significantly more difficult and costly. Arteaga recommended that the City approve the relocation work at this time and pursue discussions with Caltrans afterward.

Second: Calderon
Action: approve the contract with Blue Collar Plumbing and pursue conversations with Caltrans for reimbursement afterward

1. Ord Transfer Station – Request for Direction
City Council to hold a discussion on the potential of obtaining the parcel on which the Ord Transfer Station is located (APN 025-190-088) from Butte County Recommended Action(s):
a. Provide City staff direction to move forward with acquisition of the Ord Transfer Station property from Butte County, OR;
b. Direct staff to move forward with another 25-year land use agreement with Butte County
c. Authorize City Administrator to sign any necessary documents for either option A. or B.

City Administrator Elisa Arteaga presented an item to the Council requesting direction on whether to pursue acquisition of the Ord Ranch Transfer property from Butte County. She explained that the most recent agreement for services had expired, and instead of renewing the agreement, Butte County offered to transfer the property to the City of Gridley under Government Code Section 25365. The County indicated it had no future use for the site beyond its current function as a transfer station operated by Waste Management under contract with the City.

Administrator Arteaga noted that while the transfer would come at no cost to the City, there could be future expenses related to site repairs and security.

During public comment, Gridley resident Pat Coghlan expressed concerns and recommended that the City conduct an environmental study on the site prior to accepting the property.

GRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: Regular Meeting of 9-2-25 Page 3 of 5 a. Approve the attached agreement with Butte County for Building Department and Code Enforcement Services
b. Authorize City Administrator to execute and necessary documents City Administrator Arteaga presented the item seeking approval for the renewal of the service agreement, which has been in effect since 2017. This agreement continues to provide Building Department review and Code Enforcement services, as needed.

Administrator Arteaga emphasized that the agreement offers significant cost savings to the City by eliminating the need for an in-house Building Department. The arrangement is structured so that the County fully recovers the costs of services through building permit fees. Additionally, Code Enforcement services will be billed at the hourly rate specified in the agreement, as required.

Councilmember Sanchez inquired about the process for business licenses and food vendor permits.

Administrator Arteaga responded that these permits are primarily handled within the City; however, the Butte County Building Department is also involved in the review and approval process.

3. Water, Sewer and Electric Cost-of-Service Study
City staff respectfully recommends that the City Council review and approve the proposal from Utility Financial Solutions, LLC
Recommended Action(s):
a. Accept the proposal submitted by Utility Financial Solutions LLC, for water, sewer and electric cost-of-service study
b. Authorize City Administrator to execute any necessary agreements City Administrator Elisa Arteaga presented the item, explaining that it is a follow-up to the 2023 rate study conducted by UFS. At that time, the City Council approved rate increases for a two-year period and requested a subsequent study after those two years. Arteaga emphasized the GRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: Regular Meeting of 9-2-25 Page 4 of 5 importance of this study, noting that the City’s enterprise funds are currently struggling. The purpose of the analysis is to ensure that operational costs are fully supported by the current rate structure. She also highlighted that, as the City is not for profit, maintaining financial sustainability is critical, and such an analysis should be conducted by a third-party expert rather than in-house staff.

Vice Mayor Johnson and Councilmember Sanchez expressed concerns regarding the necessity of a new analysis, given that the company conducted a similar study two years ago. Arteaga clarified that the previous study included a proposed five-year schedule, but the Council opted for a more conservative two-year approach, with a re-evaluation to follow—this current study fulfills that request.

Councilmember Calderon reiterated his position against raising rates for Gridley residents.

Mayor Farr suggested that while agreeing to have UFS perform the analysis, the City should request an additional service for the company to provide a follow-up report once the approved rate structure concludes. This would allow Council to better assess whether another analysis is warranted.

City Attorney Tony Galyean added that, in the event of any future litigation related to rates, his ability to represent the City effectively relies on a comprehensive analysis such as the one being proposed.

During public comment, resident Pat Coghlan expressed that it may be too soon to conduct another analysis, noting that the two-year period may not be sufficient to determine whether current rates are adequate to sustain City operations.

ROLL CALL
Motion: Roberts
Second: Sanchez
Action: to approve the proposal submitted by Utility Financial Solutions LLC, for water, sewer and electric cost-of-service study and authorize the City Administrator to negotiate the terms of the contract and sign any necessary documents.

Background
The City of Gridley is a member of the Northern California Cities Self Insurance Fund (NCCSIF).

NCCSIF is a Joint Powers Authority formed in 1979, an association of twenty-two (22) municipalities joined together to protect resources by providing risk services, management, and programs. Within the structure of the organization there are regular meetings and committees (Executive, Risk Management and Claims) reviewing programs and voting on issues relating to the resources, coverages and programs (General Liability, Workers’ Compensation, Crime/Bond, Property, Mobile Equipment, Auto Physical Damage, Employee Assistance & Training, Special Events, Vendor/Contractors). The city being a member of NCCSIF, a larger pool of Northern California cities, allows for a mechanism to self-fund a layer of workers compensation. The city also has access to group purchases of excess insurances. Generally, the Finance Director is the primary representative and, in the event, the primary representative cannot attend a meeting, his/her designee (Alternate Representative) will attend.

Recommendation
Staff is recommending Council re-appoint Martin Pineda, Finance Director, as the primary representative, re-appoint Patricia Taverner as the Alternate Representative, and appoint Miguel Chavez as the Business Services Supervisor as an Alternate Representative.

Financial Impact
Appointment is a formality required by the JPA, there are no fiscal impacts. All fiscal impacts are part of the budgetary process on a fiscal year basis.

City Council Agenda Item #3
Staff Report
Date: October 6, 2025
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Elisa Arteaga, City Administrator
Subject: Informational Update – Youth Soccer League
Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council receive and file this update on the Youth Soccer Program and provide staff direction for refund option to participants. Council may choose to refund all participants and for those participants not wishing to receive a refund they may opt to donate to the recreation donation scholarship program or Council may choose to only refund those participants requesting a refund.

Background
After receiving a series of public concerns relating to the soccer program, city staff would like to provide an update on the resolution to complaints and concerns.

The soccer program has partnerships with Gridley Unified School District and parent coach volunteers. This program provides opportunities for youth development by providing youth refereeing, and site supervisor opportunities. Recreation programs should foster a sense of belonging for youth and their families in the community by promoting positive social interaction between youths, parents, volunteers and coaches. City-hosted recreation events help build long-term community pride and encourage healthy lifestyles. Soccer promotes teamwork, good sportsmanship and aids in the long-term health by offering affordable and accessible youth sports.

The economic contribution to the community is that it draws families and visitors to the city for games and tournaments thus increasing business patronage. We strive to provide recreational programs for families across all income levels. The city has made an effort in maximizing use of city parks and fields as well as assigning a designated a Sports Complex to be aligned with budgetary and capital improvement projects in anticipation of future growth of programs.

Program Outline
• Season Dates: September 13, 2025, to November 1, 2025 • Number of Participants: 448
• Age Divisions: 4 years old – 14 years old
• Number of Teams: 40 Teams

Budget
Soccer Expenses Budget $20,000.00
Revenue $25,995.00
New Jersey Cost $12,500.00 Estimated
Expenses Per Recreation Coordinator $29,343.00
Challenges
Program challenges and complaints received from both coaches and parents were the following:
• Communication and Program Oversite: complaints received from coaches and parents were lack of communication and availability from program leadership. Coaches contacting the office were not assisted or receiving return emails during reported issues or concerns with their team.
• Uniforms: Change to uniform without notification, not enough jerseys to some teams, concern with type of uniform compared to past years, incorrect sizes, as a result some teams created their own jerseys.
• Teams: delayed planning for teams, re-organization of co-ed team’s player changes because teams were not co-ed balanced. Some were due to changes in players and recreation staff not being aware of those changes.
• Picture Day: teams refusing to take pictures due to jerseys, cancellation of picture orders
• Staffing/volunteer shortages: Both Site-Supervisors coach 1-2 teams, making them unavailable if a problem comes up (which did happen week 3) and/or the site-supervisor has to leave their team during game time, lack of site supervision by leadership staff.

Lack of site supervisors on site, referee payroll incomplete due to lack of documentation. Referee payroll was incomplete due to Finance not receiving required documentation from Recreation Coordinator.

As a response, the City Administrator directed staff to the site on game day for additional oversight and to receive onsite feedback, reorder jerseys, and schedule picture retakes. A posting to social media was released with an apology and additional information, as well as Finance Director being appointed to oversee those pending issues and continue ongoing communication with all participants.

Financial Impact
The financial impact will be determined based on the direction from Council to either refund all participants or only those requesting a refund. The recreation budget will be reviewed at midyear for consideration of modification.

From: Todd W. Farr, Chief of Police
Subject: Annual Review of City ordinance 838-2022, Gridley Police Department Policy #706 and Gridley Police Department Military Equipment Report 2024 and Inventory for 2025.

Recommendation
Request the City Council to review City Ordinance 838-2022, Gridley Police Department Policy #706 and Gridley Police Department Military Equipment Report 2024 and Inventory for 2025 to determine whether the Department’s use of the defined military equipment in the past year complied with the Policy, and whether to continue the Ordinance and Policy, or act to modify the Policy or repeal the Ordinance. In addition, within 30 days of publicly releasing the Gridley Police Department Military Equipment Report 2024 and Inventory for 2025, hold at least one wellpublicized and conveniently located community engagement meeting, to discuss the report and respond to public questions regarding the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment.

Background
AB 481 created a statutory mandate for the Police Department. Specifically, the law concerns the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment by law enforcement agencies. The language of the Military Equipment Policy provides a non-exhaustive list of examples and definitions for such equipment. Agencies may also consult Government Code § 7070, 7071, and 7072 for the source of these definitions, as well as comprehensive information about state law requirements and processes for military equipment. AB 481 requires agencies to prepare and publish an annual Military Equipment and Inventory use report, obtain annual Policy approval by the city council through a review of City Ordinance 838-2022, Gridley Police Department Policy #706 and Gridley Police Department Military Equipment Report 2024 and Inventory for 2025. This Military Equipment Use Policy has been posted on the City of Gridley and Gridley Police Department websites since May 16, 2022. Final approval for City Ordinance 838-2022 and Gridley Police Department Policy #706 was obtained from the City Council on August 1st, 2022.

Gridley Police Department Military Equipment Report
2 Introduction
On September 30, 2021, the Governor of the State of California approved Assembly Bill 481 (codified as Chapter 12.8 of the California Government Code) requiring law enforcement agencies such as the Gridley Police Department to have a military equipment use policy approved by the City Council prior to requesting, seeking funding, acquiring, or using items that it defined as military equipment.

Assembly Bill 481 allows the governing body to approve the policy within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards.

On August 1st, 2022, the Gridley City Council approved Ordinance 838-2022 approving Gridley Police Department Policy #706: Military Equipment Use Policy. As required by Assembly Bill 481 and the Ordinance, annually the Gridley Police Department must prepare a report on the use of each type of military equipment approved in the Policy over the last year. Subsequently, the City Council must then review the Ordinance, Policy, and Annual Report, and determine whether the Department’s use of the defined military equipment in the past year complied with the Policy, and whether to continue the Ordinance and Policy, act (by ordinance) to modify the Policy or repeal the Ordinance.

As required in the policy, within 30 days of submitting and publicly releasing the annual report, the Department shall hold at least one well-publicized and conveniently located community engagement meeting, at which the Department should discuss the report and respond to public questions regarding the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment.

The Gridley Police Department retains and deploys limited equipment that falls under this legislation and subsequent law to safeguard its community. Gridley Police Department officers, certified instructional staff, and specialized units receive training throughout the year on the use of this equipment approved under the Policy.

This annual report outlines the Gridley Police Department’s military equipment inventory and usage and community complaints over use of military equipment from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024. It also outlines the proposed purchase of new and/or replacement equipment during 2025.

In addition to maintaining the highest levels of public safety, The Gridley Police Department is committed to transparency, public trust, community partnerships, and compliance with the law.

City Council Agenda Item #9
Staff Report
Date: October 6, 2025
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Elisa Arteaga, City Administrator
Subject: Gridley Sports Complex Ph 1 – Budget Adjustment and Contract Amendments Unsuitable Site Conditions – Geotechnical Investigation Recommendation
City staff respectfully recommend that the City Council authorize the City Administrator to execute an amendment to task order 16-607-402 with Bennett Engineering Services (BENEN) to include Geotechnical Investigation (GI) for the sports lighting foundation in the amount of $38,661.10.

Background
Construction field exploration identified high groundwater and loose, sandy, unsuitable soils at planned sports lighting locations, rendering the original foundation design infeasible. To complete Phase 1 lighting and meet Proposition 68 grant requirements, staff recommend targeted geotechnical investigation and testing to:
• Perform GI borings at representative pole locations to appropriate depths (approximately 38 ft) • Conduct laboratory testing to establish bearing and lateral resistance • Provide revised design parameters and foundation recommendations compatible with site conditions and the lighting manufacturer’s loads
• Issue a stamped geotechnical memorandum/report for inclusion in record documents and construction submittals
BENEN will add Crawford & Associates, Inc. to team under the current task order to provide for geotechnical borings, testing, and recommendations for the sports lighting foundations and revised engineered foundation recommendation. Crawford has the drilling resources, laboratory capacity, and construction-phase responsiveness to minimize schedule impacts and coordinate effectively with the contractor, lighting supplier, and the City/CM team. Retaining Crawford for this focused scope will reduce rework risk, support timely redesign, and help keep the project moving forward.

On January 21, 2025, the City approved a $2.46 million construction contract with a 10% contingency, plus $462,000 for City-installed work, and the previously approved $490,000 contract with Bennett Engineering (BENEN) dated January 17, 2023, for a total project cost of $3,665,339.20, including items purchased at a later date.

The construction management (CM) scope originally included in BENEN’s contract was reduced so the City can utilize CM and inspection services from the on-call list. CM costs are funded in the City’s FY 2024–25 CIP for the Sports Complex, carried into FY 2025–26, and are eligible for grant reimbursement.

The CM contract was awarded to UNICO for $99,614.03, with a not-to-exceed $109,600 (approximately 10% contingency) for CM support, inspection services, and materials testing.

X Regular
Special
Closed
Emergency
UNICO included Crawford on its team for materials testing for compaction of soil and concrete testing.

Due to unsuitable soil conditions, the sports lighting foundations require a redesign and information is needed that will be collected by Crawford’s soil borings and test data, so MUSCO Lighting structural engineers can provide an appropriate foundation redesign.

Due to the nature of the work for the data gathering for redesign of the lighting foundations, the geotechnical investigation could not be processed through Unico’s contract. Crawford’s estimated contract amount is $38,661.10 and is a straight pass-through cost from BENEN to the City.

Financial Impact
The cost for the Geotechnical Investigations requires additional budget for the project on top of the previously approved budget, with contingency of $2,713,339.00. Due to the initial exploration by the contractor and estimated depth of the unsuitable soil it is anticipated that the increased construction costs will result in an estimated increase of $150,000 for the redesigned light foundation. The Table below outlines the changes to date and the projected cost and funding shortfalls.

Compliance with City Council Strategic Plan or Budget Goals The City Council and City staff are committed to providing effective leadership while providing quality cost-effective local government services.
