COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
OCTOBER 21, 2025
PREPARED BY: Tiffany Vitorino, Recreation Manager
SUBJECT: Gustine Chamber of Commerce Old-Fashioned Christmas Event STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: 6. Community Services
BACKGROUND
The Gustine Chamber of Commerce has submitted their annual request to host their "Old-Fashioned Christmas at Home" on November 29, 2025. Community activities are expected to include lighting of the City's Christmas tree, Craft Fair, breakfast with Santa, and Lighted Christmas Parade. Several years ago, the Recreation Department eliminated the Christmas in the Park event and added those elements to the event which saved the City in costs from organizing the Christmas in the Park event solo. City added elements include: free hot chocolate, smores, train rides and pictures with Santa. This year the Recreation Department has received a generous donation from Crumble Cookies in Salinas and will be serving cookies instead of having an open flame at the event and serving smores. This will reduce staff time and logistics on the open flame availability.
In the consultation with the Chamber this year, it was suggested to shorten the parade route. The past few year's parade participants have not seen many spectators from the 5l street area between 2 avenue and North Avenue. Most spectators of the parade are on Main Street between 5 Avenue and 3 Avenue, therefore the chamber has agreed to shorten the parade to help limit street closures and City resources. The parade will start on 5t Avenue as in the past, proceed north along 5l Street to 2n avenue, turning left (west), and left again on 6 Street instead of going all the way to North Avenue.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
City Council authorization is required to use various City streets, sidewalks, City personnel and additional costs to the City. In addition, The Chamber of Commerce is requesting that all fees be waived.
The Chamber of Commerce is asking for the use of the following City streets and City staff:
• Week of November 17i Tree Installation - Public Works to install the City's Christmas tree in 4i Ave & 5 Street intersection.
• November 23 Decorating Christmas Tree- Use of the intersection of 5 Street and 4 Ave providing appropriate barricades closing 4t Ave from alleyway to alleyway between 4t Street and 6t Street from 7am to 4pm. • November 29h -Craft Fair - 5th Street from 5th Avenue to 3rd Avenue
including 4t Avenue alleyway to alleyway between 4l Street and 6t Street from 8am to 4pm for Craft Fair, petting zoo and other activities. 3 Avenue between 6t Street and 5i Street for train rides. All streets blocked with posted "No Parking Signs".
• November 29t -- Santa Photos - The use of Lions Park for Santa Pictures and use of City employee parking lot located between Post Office and City Hall if needed during the festivities. Assistance from Recreation and Public Works Staff installing Christmas in the Park decorations and lights. • November 29i--Pgrade Line Up- 5th Avenue and along 6 Street headed north. Streets blocked from 4pm to 8pm for parade line up with "No Parking Signs".
• November 29i -Tree Lighting Ceremony- 5 Street and 4 Avenue Streets blocked from 4pm to 8pm for Parade and tree lighting with "No Parking Signs".
• November 29t- Parade Route
The parade will commence immediately following the Christmas tree lighting and entertainment, which is expected to start between 6:30 PM and 7:00 PM. The parade will proceed north from 5 Avenue on 5 Street.
This year to have less disruption and road closures the parade will turn west on 2n Avenue and back to turn left on 6t Avenue for its second round down 5 Street stopping and parking in the designated stalls on either side of the road before reaching 3 Avenue, where they will await the awards ceremony. After the ceremony concludes, participants will proceed north and safely merge into traffic to return to their destinations.
The Chamber is also requesting Council's authorization to allow downtown noncompetitive food and dessert vendors during the event. According to the Gustine Municipal Code Section 5-6-3, mobile kitchen type vendors are only allowed in manufacturing districts, except otherwise by special permission of the City Council during festivals, parades and other public events. If approved, staff will ensure that proper permits and licenses will be obtained. The Recreation Manager will be working with the Chamber to make sure they are submitting the proper paperwork to Merced County Environmental Health Department to obtain the appropriate health permits for the event and each food vendor.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
The Gustine Chamber of Commerce will promote this event on various social platforms as well as flyer and attached pamphlet distribution throughout downtown.
FISCAL IMPACT
Uniformed officers will be required to assist with the parade and related night time events. The Police Department will recruit Reserve Police Officers, Explorers, and Volunteers to reduce costs if possible. Public Works will be required to stage and retrieve barricades for this event, erect Christmas tree and install lights in Lions Park. The overall total costs requesting waived is $2,020.19.
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
This event falls under Strategic Plan Goal No. 6, Objective No. 5 by bringing a sense of
pride to the community as well as enhancing the quality of life. The event aims to bring the community together in a family-friendly setting. This event provides a positive experience for residents who participate while actively engaging with the community.
RECOMMENDATION
City Council to approve the request from the Chamber of Commerce for the use of City streets, and services for the Old-Fashioned Christmas events, allowing mobile food vendors and approving waiver of fees.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
OCTOBER 21, 2025
PREPARED BY: Jami Westervelt, Economic and Community Development Director Kelsey George, Consulting Planner
SUBJECT: Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) 2025-01: Consideration of an Ordinance Approving ZOA 2025-01, Amending Chapter 4-44, Section 4-44-140 of the City of Gustine Zoning and Subdivision Code Regarding Accessory Dwelling Units to Comply with Recent Changes to State Law, and Finding the Action Statutorily Exempt from CEQA under Section 21080.17 of the Public Resources Code.
STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL: 2. Community-Based Development
BACKGROUND
In recent years, the State of California has enacted multiple bills modifying state ADU regulations, reducing local regulatory authority and streamlining the approval process for applicants. Streamlining reduced the allowable timeframes for jurisdictions to review these projects. In 2024, SB 1211 and AB 2553 introduced further changes to ADU law, necessitating updates to the City of Gustine's existing ordinance to ensure compliance.
This proposed ADU Ordinance update ensures compliance with all current ADU regulations while incorporating areas of local discretion permitted by state law. Exhibit A provides a brief overview of the major changes imposed by recent ADU Law, including SB 1211 and AB 2533. Exhibit A is a succinct summary of more recent legislation. It is not intended to serve as a comprehensive list of all mandates of ADU Law.
At its regular meeting on October 7th, 2025, the City Council received the staff report related to Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) 2025-01 and introduced and waived the first reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 4-44, Section 4-44-140 of the City of Gustine Zoning and Subdivision Code regarding Accessory Dwelling Units.
During that meeting, Council introduced and waived the first reading through a 4-0 vote (one council member absent) with no additional amendments to the proposed ordinance. The proposed ordinance is attached as Exhibit A.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council now waive the second reading and approve an Ordinance, which will approve ZOA2025-01, amending Chapter 4-44, Section 4-44-140 of the City of Gustine Zoning and Subdivision code regarding Accessory Dwelling Units to comply with recent changes to state law, and finds the action to be statutorily exempt from CEQA under Section 21080.17 of the Public Resources Code.

However, the owner-occupancy requirement in this subsection (e)(7)(B) does not apply if the property is entirely owned by another governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization.
8. Deed restriction. Prior to issuance of a building permit for an ADU or JADU, a deed restriction must be recorded against the title of the property in the County Recorder's office and a copy filed with the Economic and Community Development Director. The deed restriction must run with the land and bind all future owners. The form of the deed restriction will be provided by the City and must provide that:
a. Except as otherwise provided in Government Code section 66341, the ADU or JADU may not be sold separately from the primary dwelling.
b. The ADU or JADU is restricted to the approved size and to other attributes allowed by this section.
c. The deed restriction runs with the land and may be enforced against future property owners.
d. The deed restriction may be removed if the owner eliminates the ADU or JADU, as evidenced by, for example, removal of the kitchen facilities. To remove the deed restriction, an owner may make a written request of the Economic and Community Director, providing evidence that the ADU or JADU has in fact been eliminated. The Economic and Community Development Director may then determine whether the evidence supports the claim that the ADU or JADU has been eliminated. Appeal may be taken from the Economic and Community Development Director's determination consistent with other provisions of this Code. If the ADU or JADU is not entirely physically removed, but is only eliminated by virtue of having a necessary component of an ADU or JADU removed, the remaining structure and improvements must otherwise comply with applicable provisions of this Code.
e. The deed restriction is enforceable by the Economic and Community Development Director or his or her designee for the benefit of the City. Failure of the property owner to comply with the deed restriction may result in legal action against the property owner, and the City is authorized to obtain any remedy available to it at law or equity, including, but not limited to, obtaining an injunction enjoining the use of the ADU or JADU in violation of the recorded restrictions or abatement of the illegal unit.

7. Architectural requirements.
a. The materials and colors of the exterior walls, roof, and windows and doors must be the same as those of the primary dwelling, except.
i. If the existing primary dwelling roof does not meet minimum current building code standards or is not fire rated, other roof types that do meet those requirements will be acceptable.

G. Fees.
1. Impact fees.
a. No impact fee is required for an ADU that is less than 750 square feet in size. For purposes of this subsection (g)(1), "impact fee" means a "fee" under the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov.

ii. The portion of the fee or charge that is charged by the city may not exceed the reasonable cost of providing this service.
H. Nonconforming Zoning Code Conditions, Building Code Violations, and Unpermitted Structures.
1. Generally. The city will not deny an ADU or JADU application due to a nonconforming zoning condition, building code violation, or unpermitted structure on the lot that does not present a threat to the public health and safety and that is not affected by the construction of the ADU or JADU.
2. Un permitted ADUs and JADUs constructed before 2020. a. Permit to Legalize. As required by state law, the city may not deny a permit to legalize an existing but unpermitted ADU or JADU that was constructed before January 1, 2020, if denial is based on either of the following grounds:

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
OCTOBER 21, 2025
PREPARED BY: Tiffany Vitorino, Recreation Manager
SUBJECT: Approve 8t Annual Westside 5K Color Run/Walk & Food Vendors STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: 6. Community Services
BACKGROUND
The City of Gustine Recreation Department, in partnership with Gustine High School Class of 2026, has begun planning the 8th Annual Westside SK Color Run/Walk. The event is scheduled for Saturday, November 8, 2025, during Veterans Day weekend, beginning at 9:00 AM.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
Following the success of last year's event and to avoid disruption to residents, the event will once again be held at the Harry Schmidt Park walking path.
The SK event will begin and end at the baseball fields parking lot, where vendor booths will also be located. Participants will complete four laps of the walking path to achieve the SK distance, concluding with a color celebration.
The Color Run will continue with its patriotic theme, honoring those who have served our country during this meaningful holiday weekend. Proceeds from the event will help cover City expenses, provide additional support for the Recreation Department, and assist the Gustine High School Class of 2026 with their senior trip.
The Recreation Department is coordinating with the Police Department and Public Works to ensure public safety and accessibility throughout the event. Recreation staff and Public Works will provide barricades and logistical support, while Police will assist with traffic control and on-site safety measures.
The colored powder, made from environmentally safe corn starch, has been reviewed with Public Works staff to ensure proper cleanup methods are followed. Plans include coordinated sweeping, blowing, and waste disposal procedures to restore the park and parking lot to their original condition.
Staff is requesting authorization from Council to allow food and merchandise vendors to participate in the event. Vendors will be required to obtain City business licenses and comply with Merced County health and safety requirements.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
The Recreation Department is working with the Class of 2026 to secure student and
parent participation in planning, promotion, and volunteer staffing. The students will be doing most of the promotions in the downtown area with flyers and we will post on the City and School's social media.
The Class of 2026 has been instructed by the Recreation Manager to reach out to local businesses and invite them to participate in the event by hosting a booth or contributing advertisements and coupons for the runners' bags. Since the event will end close to lunchtime, the goal is to encourage participants to stay in the area to eat and shop locally.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sponsorships and participant registration fees will cover the cost of the event. City staff and Public Works will assist with barricade set up and other safety measures. The fiscal impact to the City is estimated at $1,554.73.
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
This aligns with the City of Gustine's Strategic Plan #6 Community Service enhancing community engagement and it is a great recreation opportunity.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Council authorize the use of the Harry Schmidt Park walking path, baseball fields parking lot and allow mobile food vendors for the 8th Annual Westside 5K Color Run/Walk.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
OCTOBER 21, 2025
PREPARED BY: Ruben Chavez, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Resolution Continuing Adoption of Gustine Police Policy 706 in Compliance with AB 481 Regarding the Purchase and Use of Military Equipment and Annual Report
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: 1. Enhanced Community Policing
BACKGROUND
The City Council has a long-standing commitment to ensure that the Gustine Police Department has equipment necessary to safeguard the lives of the residents of Gustine. Effective January 1, 2022, Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481 or the Bill), codified in Government Code sections 7070 through 7075, requires a law enforcement agency (LEA) to obtain approval from the applicable governing body, via adoption of a "military equipment" use Policy [the Policy) by resolution, prior to the LEA funding, acquiring, or using military equipment. Council originally adopted the Policy on May 17, 2021. AB 481 requires an annual report on the acquisition, use, and costs of the equipment utilized the previous year.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
The Gustine Police Department (GPO) seeks City Council to continue the adoption of the attached Military Equipment Use Policy- Policy 706 (Exhibit B), to allow GPO to continue to use the vital equipment specified therein, as well as acquire new equipment in the future.
Items deemed to be "military equipment" by AB 481 are used as a component of overall best practices for LEAs throughout the country. These tools have been tested in the field, and are used by LEAs to enhance citizen safety and officer safety. Loss of these items would jeopardize the welfare of citizens and peace officers within the GPO.
The term "military equipment," as used in AB 481, in fact, does not necessarily indicate equipment that has been used by the military. Pursuant to AB 481, items deemed to be "Military equipment" include, but is not limited to, unmanned aerial or ground vehicles, armored vehicles, command and control vehicles, pepper balls, less lethal 37mm launchers, less lethal 40mm projectile launchers, long range acoustic devices, flashbangs, and ammunition.
GPO is committed to using the most up-to-date tools and equipment to safeguard the citizens of Gustine. Several items deemed to be "military equipment" by AB 481 are in fact employed by GPO, and LEA's across the country, to specifically reduce risk
to community members. These items provide peace officers with the ability to safely resolve volatile situations which otherwise might rise to the level of a lethal force encounter. To that end, the items at issue in this report, and the accompanying Military Equipment Use Policy, also provide GPD's peace officers with vital tools that facilitate compliance with its stringent Use of Force Policy.
Other items deemed to be "military equipment" via AB 481 include foundational equipment such as rifles. These rifles allow peace officers to address lethal threats from a greater distance and with greater precision.
There is significant interest in ensuring that law enforcement continues to have access to equipment that will provide peace officers with as many options as possible to safeguard lives, ensure safety, and protect civil liberties. The use of the tools identified below is vital to GPD's mission and will continue to be strictly regulated through internal processes and oversight.
The resolution seeks to continue approval of GPD's Policy 706, which constitutes GPD's Military Equipment Use Policy. Policy 706 outlines each item identified in Government Code section 7070 that is currently owned by the City. The Policy also includes the current use and cost of each item. These items, and their stated uses, were in place prior to the implementation of AB 481. Future acquisitions of any item deemed to be "military equipment" will require a further public meeting, policy update, and council approval.
The proposed Policy 706 safeguards the public's welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties. Policy 706 ensures that there are safeguards, including transparency, oversight, and accountability measures in place. For instance, Policy 706 requires that the GPO Military Equipment Coordinator will ensure that GPO complies with Policy 706.
GPO will conduct an annual audit of military equipment. Violations of Policy 706 will be corrected when discovered. Members of the public are provided directions per the policy on how to register complaints about violations.
All items which result in a use of force will be investigated, as is already required by existing GPO Policy. As required by law, the annual report must be posted on the Police Department's website for 30 days prior to the public hearing. The report being considered with this item was published on the Police Department's Website on September 4, 2025.
This policy has provisions in it to allow for mutual aid and outside agencies to use their equipment covered by statute in the City of Gustine if in compliance with the law.
Specialized firearms and ammunition, including assault weapons: Patrol rifles and Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) rifles enable officers, when in compliance with the GPD's Use of Force Policy, to address medium to long distance threats, or those threats who are heavily armed, armored or both. Further, in both short and longdistance deployments, they allow officers precision shot placement, minimizing the risk to officers and innocent citizens. There are no known alternatives to these weapons that will provide the same level of distance or precision. 40mm/37mm projectile launchers: The 40mm/37mm launcher affords the ability to use
less lethal chemical agents and impact munitions. This allows officers to address a threat from a greater distance and provides an alternative option for deadly force when reasonable. When necessary, there is no alternative to this less lethal weapon system.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
The law requires yearly workshops and meetings for public stakeholders and other interested parties to review the policy and provide public input on the use of the involved equipment.
The meeting agenda was adequately noticed and advertised. The public will have an opportunity to provide comments on this item prior to City Council action.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
The continued compliance with AB 481 is mandated by law, but the contents of the policy aligns with Strategic Plan Goal #1 Enhanced Community Policing, Objective 3 Well-equipped law enforcement.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended the City Council approve the resolution continuing adoption of Gustine Police Policy 706 in compliance with AB 481 regarding the purchase and use of military equipment and annual report.

Leadership and Budgeting: Strengthens language around strategic planning, capital improvement forecasting, and direct supervision of personnel, including performance evaluations and training programs. lnteragency Coordination: Highlights the Director's role in liaising with regulatory bodies, consultants, and partner agencies on infrastructure and environmental issues.

ITEM NO. 13
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
OCTOBER 21, 2025
PREPARED BY: Jami Westervelt, Economic & Community Development Director Kelsey George, Consulting Planner
SUBJECT: Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map Two-Year Extensions for Richard & Rebecca Rasmussen (APN: 063-180-032) and Michael and Dana Rasmussen (APN: 063-180-033)
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: 6. Community Services
BACKGROUND
On December 5, 2023, the City Council approved Vesting Tentative Subdivision Maps (VTSMs) for two separate parcels:
• Richard and Rebecca Rasmussen - 45 single-family residential lots; APN 063-180- 032
• Michael and Dana Rasmussen - 62 single-family residential lots; APN 063-180-033 Together, these subdivisions represent 107 single-family residential lots within the Southeast Gustine Master Plan (SGMP).
The applicants, Mike and Rick Rasmussen, have submitted a request to extend the expiration of the approved VTSMs by two years. Without an extension, the maps will expire on December 5, 2025, two years after their original approval.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
Under City Code and the Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Section 66452.6), an approved VTSM is valid for 24 months from its effective date. The Council may grant discretionary extensions in compliance with these provisions. The applicants' request for a two-year extension is therefore consistent with the authority granted to the City Council under State law.
As part of their application, the applicants submitted a justification letter stating the following:
• Infrastructure improvements on an adjacent property (Mr. Katatakis) are in progress, and due to the proximity of the properties, completion of those improvements is necessary before the Rasmussen properties can move forward with their own improvement plans.
• The applicants are preparing to begin final improvement plan processing for their subdivisions and require additional time to complete this work. • Since the original VTSM approval, there have been no changes to the City's
General Plan, Specific Plan, Zoning Code, or Subdivision Code provisions applicable to the project.
• There have been no changes to the site or surrounding area that would affect the applicability of City policies or development standards. • There have been no changes to the capacity of community resources (including water, sewer, roads, or schools) that would affect the project's feasibility.
In addition, the applicants have taken concrete steps to advance the project, including paying review and permitting fees related to the original approvals, executing a Cost Recovery Agreement, and providing required deposits for current extension requests.
Based on these factors, staff finds the requested extension reasonable and consistent with the Subdivision Map Act and City regulations.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Not applicable.
FISCAL IMPACT
None to the City for the extension.
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Approval of the tentative subdivision map extension is consistent with Strategic Goal #5:
Robust Infrastructure, as it ensures that the City's infrastructure planning remains aligned with anticipated development. Extending the map provides the necessary time to coordinate utility, roadway, and service improvements that will support orderly growth and long-term community needs.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the following resolutions:
1 . A resolution approving a two-year VTSM extension for Applicant Richard Rasmussen, extending the expiration date to December 5, 2027, for a 45-lot subdivision at APN 063-180-032.
2. A resolution approving a two-year VTSM extension for Applicant Michael Rasmussen, extending the expiration date to December 5, 2027, for a 62-lot subdivision at APN 063-180-033.

RE: Tentative Map Extension
September 30, 2025
TO: City of Gustine Planning Department,
We are requesting a tentative map extension (see attached application).
This correspondence serves as the justification letter per your request.
We are aware that Mr. Katatakis is nearing completion of his final infrastructure improvement plans. Due to his property location in proximity to our property, it is necessary for his improvements to be completed prior to ours. We are getting closer to beginning the final improvement plan process on our property and need the extension of time to do this.
There have been no changes to the provisions of the General Plan, any applicable Specific Plan or this Zoning and Subdivision Code applicable to the project since the approval of our Tentative Map.
There have been no changes in the character of the site or its surroundings that affect how the policies of the General Plan or other standards of this Zoning and Subdivision Code apply to the project.
There have been no changes to the capacities of community resources, including but not limited to water supply, sewage treatment or disposal facilities, roads or schools.
We appreciate your consideration.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a One-Year Agreement with Kate's Furreka, Inc. for Animal Care Services
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: 6. Community Services
BACKGROUND
Since 2019, the City has relied on animal services provided by Merced County. The services provided are mostly for stray animals when the City is unable to locate the owner(s) or when rescue groups are at capacity. This includes basic medical assessment, boarding, vaccination, microchip, euthanasia and administrative services.
In June 2025, the County notified the City that they'd like to amend the contract and that they have shifted their service model to better recover cost for services. This initial proposal was going to increase the base contract cost to $14,000 above our current contract. Additional services like vaccination, microchip, and medical assessment would be at an additional fixed rate cost.
In September 2025, staff brought this item back to Council for discussion and has received direction from Council to extend the current County contract for an additional year without the increase cost mentioned above. This is to give the City time to find a more permanent solution for our needs.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
While Council has authorized $10,000 to retrofit our existing shelter located at 26501 Carnation Road, this facility is not designed to be a long-term animal care facility. As such this facility is being retrofitted now to accommodate the 10-day holding period required for stray animals.
In the past, the County of Merced has partnered with various rescues to transfer animals that are adoptable from their care to rescues and foster homes. This allows for proper animal behavioral conditioning and access to other rescues who then find these animals their forever home. Finding permanent homes for these animals can take anywhere from two weeks to a year. This is the reason why non-profit rescues are a more ideal location than at the County's or City's facilities.
In the last couple months, staff has been working to find nearby non-profit rescues to supplement our needs. Kate's Furreka Rescue (KFR) came to us based on a
recommendation from other jurisdictions and our local rescue. KRF is a foster-based nonprofit organization dedicated to saving dogs across California's Central Valley, from Los Banos to Stockton. Inspired by the founder's beloved dog Kate, the organization works to reduce euthanasia rates by rescuing animals from overcrowded shelters, promoting spay and neuter education, and supporting families in keeping their pets at home. All animals are cared for in loving foster homes, and adoptions are arranged through personalized meetings. In 2023 alone, the rescue successfully placed 128 dogs into forever homes thanks to the tireless efforts of volunteers, sponsors, and adopters.
For this reason, staff is recommending for City Council to authorize the City Manager to execute a one-year contract to pilot a program with KFR to supplement our animal control services. The scope of the contract includes:
Service Description J
Initial evaluation, including basic physical
exam, vaccination review, and health

support
Additionally, KFR is partnering with the City and Dr. Santos's office to hold an Animal Clinic in November. This event will bring forth reduced cost vaccinations, free microchip and registration, and City dog licensing.
This agreement is one of the three prong approach to curb stray animals within the City.
Staff will work on an educational component relating to animal welfare and responsible pet owner in early 2026. The third prong will be enforcement which will range from animal registration enforcement to revision of the fine structures related to animal violations.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
No Community outreach is needed for this item. Future outreach for the other two approaches will be scheduled for 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT
None. The not-to-exceed amount for this contract is $10,000.00. Since this is a pilot asneeded- program, there is sufficient fund balance already allocated in the animal control and police department budget. Staff will track and reevaluate the budget at our midyear process in early 2026.
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
This item aligns with Goal #6 - Community Services in ensuring residents have access to essential services and amenities.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
OCTOBER 21, 2025
PREPARED BY: Jami Westervelt, Economic & Community Development Director Kelsey George, Consulting Planner
SUBJECT: Policy Adoption 2025-01: Consideration of a Resolution Adopting the City of Gustine Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines, Including Policies and Procedures for Level of Service (LOS) and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis Pursuant to CEQA and Local Planning Requirements.
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: 5. Robust Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
In response to Senate Bill (SB) 743 and the updated California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines requiring the use of Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) as the metric for identifying transportation impacts, cities throughout California have been required to develop new procedures for analyzing transportation-related impacts.
To address this shift and ensure compliance with state law, the City of Gustine has prepared Transportation Analysis Guidelines, which establishes a formal policy framework for how transportation impacts are assessed in land use development reviews. The guidelines include:
• VMT thresholds and screening criteria (consistent with the Merced County Association of Governments (MCAG) regional guidance)
• Local operational analysis requirements using Level of Service (LOS) • Requirements for preparing Traffic Impact Analyses (TIAs) These guidelines will serve as the City's official policy for evaluating transportation impacts under CEQA and ensuring consistency with the City's General Plan Circulation Element.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
The proposed City of Gustine Transportation Analysis Guidelines have been tailored to reflect Gustine's community goals, transportation infrastructure, and development context. The document separates CEQA-required VMT analysis from LOS-based operational assessments, which remain useful for project-level circulation, access, and infrastructure planning.
Key provisions include:
• LOS standards for local entitlement decisions (minimum LOS C or D based on roadway classification)
• TIA preparation thresholds, methodologies, and study area requirements • CEQA significance thresholds and mitigation approaches based on regional VMT averages
• VMT Screening Criteria to exempt qualifying projects from detailed analysis The policy allows for professional judgment and case-by-case determination by the City Engineer to ensure the scope and technical rigor of each analysis is appropriate.
Adoption of this policy document ensures that project reviews are conducted consistently and in compliance with State and regional mandates.
EVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
The proposed action to adopt transportation analysis guidelines constitutes a general policy action and does not directly result in a physical change to the environment. As such, this action is exempt from CEQA under Section 15061 (b) (3) - Common Sense Exemption, which applies where it can be seen with certainty that the activity will not have a significant effect on the environment.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Outside of the normal public meeting agenda noticing for both the Planning Commission and City Council meetings, no additional noticing was necessary.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
On Wednesday, September 24, 2025, the Commission was scheduled to consider the item during its regular meeting. The Commission approved recommendation to City Council o approve the policy as presented.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no direct fiscal impacts associated with this item.
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Adoption of the Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines establishes a clear framework for evaluating traffic and circulation impacts consistent with State law (SB 743) and local planning requirements. This action advances the City's Strategic Plan by supporting Goal #5- Robust Infrastructure, particularly the objectives to prepare infrastructure for business growth and ensure reliable systems to accommodate future residential and commercial development. Together, these efforts strengthen the City's ability to manage growth responsibly while maintaining safe, efficient, and sustainable infrastructure for the community.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve a resolution adopting of the City of Gustine Transportation Analysis Guidelines.

City of Gustine Transportation Analysis Guidelines
Purpose
The purpose of the City of Gustine Transportation Analysis Guidelines is to establish the procedures and requirements for evaluating the transportation impacts of development projects within the City of Gustine. These guidelines are intended to support both operational traffic planning goals and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance.
It is important to distinguish between two separate transportation analysis frameworks: Level of Service (LOS) and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT).
• LOS, or Level of Service, is a rating system used to assess the quality of traffic flow on roadways and at intersections. It's a qualitative measure that uses letters (A to F). LOS analysis is no longer used to determine CEQA transportation impacts but remains critical for evaluating site access, circulation, and the need for improvements to support multimodal travel and efficient roadway operations.
• VMT, on the other hand, is the CEQA-mandated metric for identifying significant environmental impacts related to transportation which was implemented through Senate Bill 7 43 (SB 7 43). As defined in the 2018 CEQA Guidelines Technical Advisory, VMT measures the amount and distance of vehicle travel generated by a project. Projects must assess VMT impacts to determine significance under CEQA and propose mitigation as needed.
Background
Before the implementation of Senate Bill (SB) 743, transportation analyses prepared under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) commonly measured project impacts using roadway congestion indicators-specifically, Level of Service (LOS) at intersections and along roadway segments. However, with the passage of SB 743 in 2013 and the subsequent update to the CEQA Guidelines (effective July 1, 2020), LOS and similar congestion-based metrics are no longer considered appropriate measures for determining transportation-related environmental impacts under CEQA.
The intent of SB 743 is to shift focus away from vehicle delay and toward broader policy goals, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, supporting multimodal transportation options, and encouraging more compact and diverse land use patterns. Under these guidelines, a project's effect on traffic congestion (e.g., automobile delay or LOS) is no longer a valid basis for identifying a significant transportation impact in a CEQA analysis. Instead, Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT)a measure of the amount and length of vehicle trips generated by a project-has been adopted as the metric for evaluating transportation impacts under CEQA.
The California Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI, formerly OPR) published a Technical Advisory (December 2018) to assist agencies with implementing VMT-based analysis. The State's updated CEQA Guidelines, adopted by the Natural Resources Agency and approved by the Office of Administrative Law, mandate that lead agencies apply these changes as of July 1, 2020.
It is important to note, however, that the shift to VMT under CEQA does not eliminate the City's ability to apply its own local transportation policies, including LOS standards, through the land use entitlement and planning review process. In Gustine, LOS remains an important tool to evaluate whether new development is consistent with the City's General Plan Circulation Element and to ensure that adequate transportation infrastructure is provided. Therefore, LOS analysis may still be required outside the context of CEQA-for example, to identify necessary roadway improvements, evaluate site access and circulation, or apply project-specific conditions of approval.
This document provides guidance for the two types of transportation analysis that may be required for development projects, including contents and applicability of analyses.
I. Level of Service (LOS) Analysis (Operational Assessment) A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) may be required for land use development projects to assess localized circulation, safety, and operational impacts near the project site. The purpose of the TIA is to ensure that the proposed development supports safe and efficient access for all users of the transportation network-including drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders-and aligns with the City of Gustine's General Plan goals and transportation policies.
The TIA focuses on evaluating project-specific circulation features such as driveway access, intersection operations, internal site circulation, and multimodal connectivity. This analysis is especially important for identifying and addressing potential operational or safety issues and recommending improvements necessary for project implementation.
All TIAs should evaluate the project's effects on transportation facilities relating to vehicular, pedestrian, bicycles, and transit. Further, the analysis needs to recommend the appropriate measures for mitigating any adverse effects which can be roadway improvements, intersection control installation, or in-lieu/fair share fees.
Level of Service (LOS) shall be computed for controlled and uncontrolled intersections identified in the study area, using methodologies from the latest edition of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM).
Unless otherwise directed by the City Engineer, Synchro shall be used for signalized and stopcontrolled intersections, SID RA for roundabouts, and HCS for roadway segments.
This policy is intended to provide general procedures and expectations for preparing TIAs for projects within the City of Gustine. It is recognized that each project and its surrounding context are unique; as such, professional judgment is encouraged in applying the regulations and requirements outlined in this policy. Not every element will apply to all projects and ultimately the City Engineer will be required to approve the scope of work for any TIA required as a result of this policy.
Under this policy, intersection Level of Service (LOS) must be evaluated in a Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) to ensure consistency with the goals and policies of the City of Gustine's General Plan Circulation Element. This policy serves as the mechanism for implementing those General Plan
standards by requiring project-level analysis to assess operational conditions and identify transportation improvements that may be needed to support safe, efficient, and multimodal mobility.
The following LOS thresholds are established in the City's General Plan Circulation Element and apply to both roadway segments and intersections, as outlined below. The preferred LOS levels within the City are "C" and "D," particularly for larger roads and major intersections. LOS "C" represents stable operations with some unused capacity. LOS "D" represents a balance between serving a relatively high volume of vehicles and maintaining an acceptable level of service.
Roadway Classifications Standards:
• Arterial roadways (Urban and Rural Arterials) and Truck Routes: Designed and operated to achieve LOS D or bet er during peak hours; LOS C or better is desirable where feasible to address long-term needs.Collector, Local, and Alley: Designed and operated to achieve LOS C or better during peak hours.
Intersections:
For purposes of determining LOS standards at intersections, the applicable standard shall be based on the classification of the highest-order roadway served by the intersection:
• New intersections: Shall meet the LOS standard of the roadway classification (e.g., LOS D for arterials, LOS C for collectors and local streets).r.
• Existing intersections: LOS Dis the target; however, in constrained locations (e.g., Downtown Gustine), LOS E or LOS F may be acceptable at peak hours if achieving the target LOS would cause unacceptable impacts to historic resources, existing neighborhoods, or other community assets ..
The TIA shall also include a qualitative evaluation of the project's potential adverse or beneficial effects on transportation facilities and services related to pedestrians, bicycles, and transit access and operations. If the analysis finds that the project would cause operational deficiencies that exceed City standards, the TIA must recommend appropriate improvements to mitigate those impacts and support the City's multimodal transportation goals.
TIA Applicability
A TIA shall be required for any project that meets the any one of the following criteria:
1. Projects generating 100 or more peak hour trips;
2. Projects proposing a Land Use general plan amendment;
3. Projects within 0.5-miles from an intersection or roadway segment previously identified as operating at an unacceptable LOS;
4. Projects that will substantially change the transportation system, and as determined by the City Engineer.
Additionally, a TIA shall be updated if three or more years has lapsed between the preparation of the TIA and the issuance of conditions of approval and planning entitlements.
Data Collection
Unless otherwise authorized and approved by the City Engineer, all data collected for the TIA shall comply with the latest edition of the ITE Manual of Transportation Engineering Studies. The TIA should include information on the following:
1. Traffic volumes/counts
a. The TIA shall include existing and proposed traffic volumes for the adjacent intersections and driveways. Traffic volumes shall include daily weekday, am peak hour, and pm peak hour. Daily weekday traffic volumes shall be provided as a 24-hour directional roadway section and peak hour volumes shall be provided by specific intersection or driveway turning movements. School dismissal peak hour (2:00pm to 4:00pm) may also be required at the discretion of the City Engineer. b. Traffic volumes shall be recorded at 5-minute or 15-minute intervals and categorized by vehicle, heavy vehicle, bicyclists, and pedestrians crossing the road segment using a designated crossing area.
c. Traffic volumes shall be recorded during fair weather on a weekday of a non-holiday week when schools are in session and when no major road closures or construction is occurring.
Analysis and Project Assessment
Study Intersections
The TIA should include the following study intersections within the analysis:
1. All site access drives for the proposed development
2. All major intersections within 0.5-miles of the study site, both signalized and unsignalized
3. All driveways and intersections where traffic movements could be impacted by new driveway traffic movements
4. Any additional intersections as requested by the City Engineer or other reviewing agencies (i.e. County, Caltrans, etc.)
Analysis Scenarios
The TIA shall consider the following scenarios in the analysis. Cumulative forecasts shall be developed using the latest Merced County Association of Governments (MCAG) travel demand model of Gustine.
1. Existing Conditions
2. Existing Plus Project Conditions
3. Near-term Project Conditions (existing plus approved projects)
4. Cumulative Conditions
5. Cumulative Plus Project Conditions
Near-term shall be defined as existing conditions plus trips from approved and planned projects expected to be built out within the next 5 years, as identified by the City Engineer.
Trip Generation
Trip generation estimates included in the TIA shall be developed using the latest edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual. Trip rates should be calculated using either weighted average rates or regression equations, in accordance with ITE guidelines.
Alternative trip generation rates may be considered with City approval, including data from actual traffic counts of comparable sites or other recognized sources. Unique project characteristics-such as mixed-use developments-may justify the use of alternative methodologies (e.g., NCH RP /EPA MXD+).
If a Traffic Impact Analysis includes adjustments to site-generated traffic ( e.g., internal capture, passby trips, multi-modal travel, or carpooling), such reductions must be clearly documented and discussed with the City prior to inclusion in the report.
Trip Distribution and Assignment
Trip distribution shall be determined based on the proposed land use, existing travel patterns, site access to major corridors, the relative locations of complementary land uses, and model data from the MCAG travel demand model. Additionally, the distribution should reflect an analysis of the market area relevant to the development type and location.
Trips shall be manually assigned to the roadway network in accordance with the distribution assumptions. The regional travel demand model should not be relied upon for trip assignment. A figure illustrating the percentage distribution of peak hour project-generated traffic to and from various directions shall be included in the TIA. Additionally, a separate figure showing the manual assignment of peak hour project-only trips at site driveways, study intersections, and key roadway segments shall be provided.
If trip distribution or assignment varies between existing, near-term, and cumulative conditions, separate figures for each scenario shall be included, accompanied by appropriate discussion and justification.
II. CEQA Vehicle-Miles of Travel (VMT) Analysis
Senate Bill (SB) 743, which took effect on July 1, 2020, changed how transportation impacts are evaluated in California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documents. Rather than relying on motor vehicle delay and Level of Service (LOS), SB 743 designates Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) as the primary metric for analyzing transportation impacts under CEQA. In response to this change and the implementation deadline, the Merced County Association of Governments (MCAG) developed VMT Thresholds and Guidelines as a regional framework for its seven-member jurisdictions-including the City of Gustine.
In place of developing its own guidelines, the City of Gustine has opted, through this policy, to adopt the regional recommendations provided by MCAG, considering its unique growth policies and economic development goals. The MCAG VMT Thresholds and Guidelines document offers a comprehensive approach to implementing the VMT metric under CEQA across the region. All
development projects within Gustine's city limits will now be subject to the VMT analysis process outlined in the MCAG document.
The following sections provide a brief for establishing VMT analysis for CEQA compliance, but detailed steps can be found on MCAG's website.
VMT Screening Criteria
The MCAG VMT Thresholds and Guidelines acknowledges certain projects, based on certain characteristics, may result in a reduction of VMT and therefore are presumed to have a less than significant impact to VMT. The MCAG Thresholds and Guidelines document utilizes a Technical Advisory prepared by the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (now Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation) to identify projects and characteristics that are screened out from further VMT analysis.
Development Projects
• The project is within 0.5 mile (mi) of a transit priority area or a high-quality transit area and is consistent with the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)/Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS), has a floor area ratio (FAR) equal or greater than 0.75, does not provide an excessive amount of parking, or does not reduce the number of affordable residential units. In accordance with SB 743, "transit priority areas" are defined as "an area within one-half mile of a major transit stop that is existing or planned, if the planned stop is scheduled to be completed within the planning horizon included in a Transportation Improvement Program. A Major transit stop means: "a site containing an existing rail transit station, a ferry terminal served by either a bus or rail transit service, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods." A high-quality transit area or corridor is a corridor with fixed route bus service with service intervals no longer than 15 minutes during peak commute hours.
• The project includes local-serving retail with a combined area ofless than 50,000 square feet (sf). Redevelopment projects that result in an equal or net reduction in VMT may be considered to have less than significant VMT impact. A net reduction in VMT would occur if the land use proposed by the project would generate less VMT than the existing land use. • The project includes 100 percent affordable housing units. • A project consistent with the jurisdiction's General Plan may be successfully screened if the project would generate fewer than 1,000 average daily trips (ADT), while a project not consistent with the jurisdiction's General Plan may be screened if the project would generate fewer than 500 ADT.
• Institutional/government and public service uses that support community health, safety and welfare may also be screened from subsequent CEQA VMT analysis. These facilities (e.g., police stations, fire stations, government offices, utilities, public libraries, community centers, and refuse stations) would be a part of the community and, as public services, the VMT would be accounted for within the community. Any other similar use not included in the list can be approved on a case - by - case basis by the local jurisdiction as applicable. As such, these uses would result in reduction in total VMT due to the proximity of these services within the community. Additionally, many of these facilities would generate fewer than 1,000 ADT
and/or use vehicles other than passenger cars or light - duty trucks. These other vehicle fleets are subject to regulation outside of CEQA, such as the California Air Resources Board (CARS) and the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. • Local parks, daycare centers, student housing projects on or adjacent to a college campus, local serving gas stations, banks, and K-12 public schools. • Projects located in areas with low VMT may be screened out from further CEQA analysis. The TA acknowledges that residential and office projects located in areas having a low VMT, (which incorporate features such as density, mix of uses, transit accessibility), tend to exhibit similarly low VMT. Also, areas that are mapped as low VMT areas do not need to prepare a detailed VMT analysis. Therefore, residential, office, industrial, or mixed use projects that are consistent with the lead agency's General Plan and located within low VMT areas (using the MCAG VMT Screening Tool1 and applying appropriate thresholds) may be presumed to have similar low VMT profiles and could be screened out from the need for further VMT analysis. It should be noted that if a project constitutes a General Plan Amendment or Zone Change, such projects will be evaluated on a case - by - case basis. Figures 4, 5, and 6 illustrate the VMT per capita, VMT per employee, and VMT per service population screening maps for the region.
• The 2022 State CEQA Guidelines Section 15007 (c) states that "if a document meets the content requirements in effect when the document is sent out for public review, the document shall not need to be revised to conform to any new content requirements in Guideline amendments taking effect before the document is finally approved." Therefore, if a development/land use plan/ transportation project is already cleared by a certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or an adopted Negative Declaration/Mitigated Negative Declaration, then subsequent projects that are consistent with the approved project will not require a new VMT analysis.
VMT Thresholds of Significance
For projects that cannot be screened out through one of the criteria listed above, additional VMT analysis and forecasting will be required to evaluate the VMT impact. The VMT analysis and forecasting shall be prepared using the MCAG model.
The following are CEQA thresholds of significance relating to VMT. If the thresholds of significance are exceeded, mitigations measures and monitoring are required to alleviate the significant impact. • A proposed (residential) project exceeding a level of 15 percent below existing regional average VMT per capita may indicate a significant transportation impact. • A similar threshold would apply to office projects (15 percent below existing regional average VMT per employee).
• VMT generated by any other non-residentiall projects would indicate a significant impact for any net increase in total VMT.
VMT Mitigation Measures Strategies
CEQA law requires the project applicants with any project that exceeds the thresholds of significant to demonstrate that, with mitigation, the impact can be reduced to a less than significant impact, or below the threshold of significance. If impacts cannot be reduced, an EIR may be required.
To mitigate VMT impacts, the following options are available to projects:
• Modify the project's design features and/or land uses to reduce project trips or reduce trip length.
• Moving the proposed development to a more travel-efficient area (i.e. area with access to high quality transit, or other transportation solutions that reduce the length/number of trips). • Implement Transportation Demand Management (TOM) measures to reduce VMT generated by the project.
Proposed projects shall utilize the latest version of the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association ("CAPCOA") mitigation measure handbook document3 to estimate the feasible amount of VMT mitigation. The TOM+ tool is available for use free of charge to calculate VMT mitigation. Analysts must demonstrate the applicability of the VMT reductions within the transportation context of the site and project (e.g. connecting transit, parking supply provided, etc.) to ensure that the VMT reduction is reasonable. Analysts are strongly cautioned to ensure that double-counting of VMT reduction benefits does not occur given that the MCAG model is sensitive to development variables such as density and mode split associated with proximity to compatible uses.
Other Environmental Considerations
As noted above, the updated CEQA Guidelines Appendix G Checklist contains three additional criteria beyond the VMT evaluation criteria discussed in preceding sections. These checklist questions include:
Would the project:
a) Conflict with a program, plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities? b) Substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g. sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g.farm equipment)? c) Result in inadequate emergency access?
TIAs should address these three questions, considering the unique characteristics of the project, including its location, size, design, use mix, transportation and urban form context, and other relevant details. In the assessment of transit, bicycle and pedestrian network, the following standards of significance shall be used.

SUBJECT: Priority Projects and Appointment of City Staff Delegate to Attend the 2026 MCAG One Voice Trip
BACKROUND/ DISCUSSION
The next Merced County Association of Governments (MCAG) One Voice Washington DC trip has been scheduled for May 12-14, 2026. The One Voice trip is a County-wide lobbying mission for grants, federal funding, and new or amended legislation. The City has participated annually, along with the other cities in Merced County. The trip includes numerous meetings with legislators and federal agencies to discuss issues of regional importance to the County.
MCAG has reached out to participating agencies to advise that due to feedback from past delegations, the planning process of the trip will start earlier, in October, 2025.
Below is a draft calendar for this year program:
• September-October 2025: MCAG and Townsend staff will conduct meetings with jurisdictional staff to discuss potential 2026 policy priorities and community funding requests.
• November 2025: Jurisdictions conduct internal decision making on 2026 priorities.
• December 1, 2025: Deadline for submission of 2026 policy priorities and delegate agreements.
• December 11, 2025: Orientation for new One Voice delegates (held via Zoom] • January 8, 2026: Delegation meeting -review jurisdictions' proposed regional policy/project priorities, review federal policy opportunities including community project funding process (held via Zoom]
• January 29, 2026: Delegation meeting-finalize regional policy/project priorities and learn about jurisdictions' local community project funding request submissions (held via Zoom]
• February 5, 2026: Delegation meeting (if needed) -- finalize regional policy /project priorities (held via Zoom]
• February 27, 2026: Deadline for jurisdictions to submit delegate fee(s) and all necessary data and photos for the finalization of the 2026 leave-behind document.
• March 19, 2026: Governing Board takes action to adopt Policy Platform. • April 2, 2026: Delegation meeting - receive updates from Washington D.C. and prepare for meetings with policymakers (in-person meeting) • April 23, 2026: Strike Team meetings - Strike Teams will meet separately to prepare for meetings with policymakers (in-person meeting)
• May 7, 2026: Delegation meeting - large group session to prepare for meetings with policymakers (in-person meeting)
• May 12, 2026: Delegation practice session and briefing in Washington D.C. (inperson) • May 13-14, 2026: One Voice meetings with policymakers in Washington D.C. (in-person)
• May 21, 2026: Delegation debrief meeting, location TBD This administrative item is intended to request for Council to delegate Chief Ruben Chavez to represent the City for this year's trip. The costs for attendees are budgeted for in the FY 2025-26 operating budget.
Prior delegations from the City have secured contacts with the Federal agencies such as the FAA, DOT, DOJ which was instrumental in obtaining approval for the demolition of the dilapidated hangars at the airport, and various DOJ grants.
Secondly, staff would like to request Council approval on policies and priorities below:
Funding for public facilities rehabilitation and ADA upgrade (to include:
Police Station, Fire Station, Gustine Museum, Goman Center, Aquatic Center, and City rental facilities)
Funding for public safety staffing and equipment needs (include both police and fire)
These priorities were considered for 2025 trip and still remain unfunded at this time. It is worth noting that the 2026 One-Voice Trip, if successful, would secure earmark fund for fiscal year 2027. Thus, projects need to be beyond conception and need to be ready for obligation at the time of award.
Submitting priority projects enables MCAG to plan the group's meeting schedule to incorporate the proper legislative officials and representatives.
FISCAL IMPACT
In looking at prior years travel, expenses are estimated to cost approximately $2,500 per person, which includes the delegate attendee fee, airfare, per diem, ground transportation, and lodging.
RECOMENDATION
City Council to approve staff delegate, establish priority projects, and authorize staff to execute the delegate agreement.

THE MERCED COUNTY REGION
Located in the rural San Joaquin Valley of
central California, Merced County is home to
a diverse population of 297,000 people and
is situated in the world's most productive
agricultural area. Nine of the nation's top
ten agricultural-producing counties are in
California, with seven, including Merced
County, located in the San Joaquin Valley. Like
every rural community across the country,
Merced County has its own unique geography
and demographics, contributing to unique
challenges.
The Merced County Association of
Governments (MCAG) is an association of city
and county governments working together
to address regional issues and opportunities.
MCAG's annual One Voice trip to Washington
D.C. provides an opportunity for a delegation
of local public representatives to meet with
federal legislators and officials to advocate for
legislative solutions and funding for programs
and projects of regional significance.
This year, these priorities include advancing:

REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION CONNECTIVITY
Strong communities start with strong, connected transportation infrastructure. In Merced County, we move a significant quantity of agricultural products from our farms to international markets. Therefore, we support the inclusion of a Farm to Market Program in either the Farm Bill or surface transportation legislation to improve the quality of rural roads and connect them to markets around the nation and the world.
The most recent USDA report states that Merced County's agricultural commodities generate over $4 billion per year. Top products sold include milk, almonds, poultry, cattle, sweet potatoes, corn, tomatoes, and vegetables. The region has several critical goods movement corridors (most notably 1-5 and SR-99) that carry the highest volumes of trucks within the San Joaquin Valley. However, there are also many corridors and local roads that, though carrying smaller total volumes of trucks, are still vital to the region's goods movement. While some farms experience higher seasonal traffic some, like dairies, must transport their products off site every day, causing significant strain on frequently traveled roadways, reducing the pavement's lifespan. A roadway carrying 500 of these trucks a day is comparable to 5 million car trips per day. And by 2040, many of the region's main truck routes are projected to carry demand that exceeds their capacity- and to operate in a congested manner, despite programmed improvements. It is crucial that all of these corridors are maintained at a level where the safe, efficient movement of goods is possible.
We also support reauthorization of, and increased funding for, the BUILD and INFRA programs in order to enhance critical goods movement corridors such as the Atwater-Merced Expressway and State Route 59.

MERCED COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS ] ONE VOICE [ Building STRONG CONNECTIONS and STRONG COMMUNITIES State Route 59 (SR 59) is a vital thoroughfare within Merced County for residents, and is a crucial truck route for local businesses which transport a number of agricultural goods to market. The City of Merced requires a strategic expansion of this highway - which is designated a Federal Aid Secondary Route on the California Freeway and Express System - from a two-lane configuration to a four-lane thoroughfare. Central to this work is the comprehensive replacement and enlargement of the bridge over Black Rascal Creek. The bridge is functionally obsolete and does not meet modern standards. Caltrans lists this stretch of roadway as exhibiting accident rates higher than similar state highways. The widening project will better connect communities through improved traffic flow and allow safe access for larger passenger and industrial vehicles. The community stands to gain significantly from this endeavor through reduced congestion, enhanced travel reliability, shorter commute times, improved freight logistics, lower emissions, decreased fuel consumption, and heightened productivity and economic growth.
Fresno Rd. over South Fork Deadman Creek in Merced County Regional Transportation Connectivity continued on next page » - Golden Gote Bridge in Dos Palos, CA
In the unincorporated areas of
Merced County, a number of
bridges in rural areas have fallen
into a state of disrepair due to age
and exposure to the elements,
with some becoming unsafe for the
public to use. A dependable and
robust source of funding for this
type of infrastructure is vital for rural
Californians.
Our smaller communities and rural
areas also struggle to connect their
residents together and would benefit
tremendously from a rural setaside for the Bridge Improvement Program and other bridge funding
programs. For example, many small
bridges in the City of Dos Palos, such
as the Center Avenue and Golden
Gate Avenue bridges, were built
in the 1970s and are dilapidated to
the point of needing to be replaced
entirely. These projects cost $3
million each but are essential to
providing a connecting path from
residential areas to the downtown
core.
MERCED COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS [ ONE VOICE ] /ldinq STRONG CONNECTIONS «d STRONG COMMUNITIES 6 The Merced County region also believes in connecting its communities and residents through alternative modes
of transportation. As such, we support the continued
federal investment in passenger rail systems and funding programs, including the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements program (CRISI), FederalState Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail grant program, and the California High-Speed Rail project.
The city of Merced is poised to become the hub for the
statewide passenger rail system as three major services will converge there: Amtrak San Joaquins, Altamont
Corridor Express (ACE), and California's High-Speed Rail service. By connecting in Merced, these three services will work together as one comprehensive system, providing
cross platform connections to destinations throughout
the San Joaquin Valley, the Bay Area, the Sacramento
Valley and, in the future, to Antelope Valley, the Inland Empire, and Greater Los Angeles area.
In the long term, the San Joaquins and ACE will terminate at the new Merced Station being constructed to serve
high speed rail. To allow this, the Merced lntermodal
Track Connector (MITC) will provide an aerial connection between the new station downtown and the BNSF Railway.
The San Joaquins will also have access to ACE right-of-way in order to provide service to new stations in the South Bay Area.
The Altamont Corridor Express (ACE) Ceres-Merced
Extension (Project) would support the extension of ACE
service from the City of Ceres to the City of Merced. This includes potential stations in both the Cities of Atwater and/or Livingston. Funding for these projects is needed to cover construction of a platform, parking upgrades, and other amenities.
In order to accommodate this transformational,
multimodal rail station, communities such as the City of Merced need help from federal partners to relocate and
replace community centers that provide vital resources
for residents. These facilities are central to fostering community engagement and delivering essential
services to those in need. In addition to their year-round functions, the centers serve as critical infrastructure during emergencies, acting as logistics hubs for disaster response, cooling and warming centers during extreme
weather, and emergency shelters for displaced residents.

Public transit services are essential in both
the urban centers and rural communities
in Merced County. Therefore, we support
robust federal funding mechanisms for
public transit systems, specifically Section
5311 funding and the creation of specialized
transit funding programs to better assist
locally-operated, public transit services
providing service to, and within, federal
lands, such as the Yosemite Area Regional
Transportation System (YARTS).
YARTS is the nation's oldest public transit
system providing service to a National Park.
With more than 25 years of history, YARTS
is the product of a partnership among
the member agencies of its Joint Powers
Authority, the U.S. Forest Service, and
the National Park Service. Today, YARTS
provides coach transit service on each
of the four state highways into Yosemite
during the summer months, and year
round on Highway 140. Currently, there
are insufficient federal funding streams to
support YARTS and the service expansion
needed to address the growing congestion
issues in Yosemite National Park. In order
to sustain the service into the future, YARTS
needs increased federal funding for the
operation and maintenance of services as
well as vehicle replacement.

PUBLIC SAFETY
The safety and well-being of residents in our rural region is paramount. Yet too often there are inadequate resources available to support this most basic principle. When people are in trouble, we must be able to respond. Therefore, we support increased funding for FEMA's SAFER Grant and Assistance for Firefighter Grant Program to fund improved staffing and critical equipment at our fire stations. We also support the funding and expansion of Department of Justice law enforcement grant programs such as COPS Hiring and the Byrne Justice Assistance Grants. Investing in our public safety workforce ensures that Merced County will be a safe and vibrant community for years to come.
The City of Gustine is a
small, rural community that
relies solely on volunteer
firefighters and, over the last
decade, has lost over 35%
of its volunteer staffing. In
addition, the OSHA mandate
to staff each station with a
minimum of two personnel
per shift has forced the City
to rely on outside agencies
to assist and subsidize this
essential service. Gustine is
currently seeking funds to
hire its own firefighters in an
effort to adequately respond
to emergencies and ensure
that the community has
protection from fire and firerelated hazards.

Station 96 in the City of Livingston is the busiest County fire station, responding to more than 2,200 calls per year in its 47-square-mile service area. Due to the cost associated with complying with the 2.0 staffing level mandate, local residents passed a 1% sales tax to support its public safety services last year. However, additional funding is needed to maintain adequate staffing and resources at the facility.
Public safety facilities are critical
for improving emergency
response times and providing
essential public safety services
to underserved areas, as well
as enhancing overall safety and
security in the community. As
such, we support funding for
the City of Merced's plans to
construct Public Safety Facility
Project - Station 56. This new
facility will feature fire and
emergency services, a police
substation, a health facility,
and career technical education
resources. Upon completion, it

This is significantly below the national average of 2.4 officers per 1,000 residents. This impacts response times and the ability to initiate innovative programs such as community policing as well as impedes the department's ability to provide a School Resource Officer to the local school district. On some shifts, there is only one officer available for the entire community. This is a significant safety risk for both the department and local residents.

The City of Gustine is pursuing the design and construction of updated water main infrastructure to improve its water distribution system located along a half-mile stretch of State Route 33/140. This includes the replacement of approximately 3,000 feet of aging water trunk line located within SR-33, the replacement of 11,000 feet of aging water service lines that connect to the trunk line, as well as the replacement and installation of numerous fire hydrants and valves.
Gustine is also seeking funding for upgrades to its Wastewater Treatment Plant. The existing facility was originally built in 1981, and it was most recently updated more than 20 years ago. Needed improvements include: an aerated lagoon reactor, a secondary head works screen, OAF pretreatment, blowers for further aeration, two secondary clarifiers, a new return activated sludge/waste activated sludge pumping station, sludge dewatering system and storage pad, replacement of existing irrigation system, and electrical and instrumentation improvements.
The City of Livingston is exploring the construction of a new Tertiary Treatment Facility at their Wastewater Treatment plant.
This addition to the facility would allow the undisinfected secondary effluent to be used to irrigate parks and green areas within the city limits. This project would require the addition of filtration and disinfection to the facility as well as the construction of over 7.5 miles of a purple pipe distribution system to transport more than 750 acre-feet of recycled water every year.
