City of Holtville
REPORT TO COUNCIL
DATE ISSUED: January 18, 2024
FROM: Alex Silva, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: Purchase used 75ft quint ladder from Sycuan Fire Department
ISSUE
Shall the City Council approve the purchase of 2000 Pierce Ladder (Quint) Truck for the Holtville Fire Department (HFD)? The increasing construction activity in Holtville has highlighted the necessity for a ladder (quint) engine.
Presently, the Holtville Fire Department's fleet only features a 24 ft ladder on our engines. The Fern Crossing Apartment, a three-story structure with a roof exceeding 42 ft, exemplifies the need for an upgraded ladder engine. In the city, several commercial buildings, including the aforementioned apartment, mandate the use of a ladder engine for effective suppression in the event of a structure fire.
Moreover, Holtville has numerous residential homes constructed with lath and plaster, requiring roof-based extinguishing techniques. In the case of a commercial building fire, the reliance on mutual aid from ladder trucks becomes crucial for effective suppression. However, the delay in mutual aid response time underscores the urgency of having a quint engine on-site.
Notably, a quint engine can serve as a type 1 engine, equipped to promptly respond to structure fires within the city. Compounding the issue, our existing fleet of type 1 engines is currently undergoing repairs at the mechanic shop due to various damages
CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDATION
Approve the purchase of a used 2000 Pierce Quint engine from Sycuan Fire Department to augment of current fleet.
FISCAL IMPACT
We've come across a pre-owned quint ladder truck available at the Sycuan Fire Department in San Diego County. There are two pricing options for the quint: one is $175,000 for the engine alone without any equipment, and the other is $197,000, encompassing all essential components such as hoses, 2 a
appliances (fittings), radios, and headsets.
In our pursuit of pricing options, HFD staff has actively sought quotes from various vendors to supply the engine. Notably, we've received a quote exclusively for hoses from Fire Etc, amounting to over $29,000, and this cost does not even cover additional essentials like fittings, radios, etc.
The city can utilize American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding to purchase the engine
DISCUSSION
. In addition to the ongoing and upcoming construction of three-story buildings within the city limits, the inadequacy of HFD's firefighting capabilities for effective suppression in such situations is evident. Recognizing this need, we have identified a solution in the form of a used quint engine available at Sycuan Fire Department (SFD). Originally purchased by Sycuan Casino in 2000 with a 75 ft ladder, the quint engine has been impeccably maintained by SFD.
However, with the development of a 12-story hotel by Sycuan Casino, the limitations of the existing 75 ft ladder have become apparent. It now covers only 31% of the new hotel. To address their evolving requirements, Sycuan Casino has acquired a taller ladder engine, rendering the 75 ft quint obsolete for their purposes.
Despite being sold in its current condition, the quint engine has undergone thorough maintenance, and all maintenance records are available from SFD.
Our inspection indicates that the engine is in excellent condition, although it hasn't been formally assessed by a mechanic. The engine has demonstrated reliable performance, and recent pump testing confirms its pumping capacity and vacuum capabilities. Additionally, SFD has provided certification of ladder inspection, ensuring the equipment's safety and compliance
CONCLUSSION
The City of Holtville has long felt the necessity for an additional Type 1 engine. The market prices for a new Type 1 engine hover around $800,000, while a 75-quint engine typically costs approximately $1.2 million. Recognizing the financial constraints, we have identified a cost-effective solution in the form of a used quint engine from Sycuan Fire Department (SFD).
This SFD quint is in excellent condition, presenting a viable option to serve as the primary engine for the city. Our evaluation of other available quints in similar conditions revealed that most were located on the East Coast, where they are subjected to snow-driven conditions that can potentially damage the pump components. In contrast, the quint from Sycuan FD has seen minimal usage and is well-preserved, making it a fitting choice to fulfill our current operational requirements.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Grant authorization for the acquisition of a used 75 ft quint ladder truck from Sycuan Fire Department at a cost of $175,000, covering solely the engine without any supplementary equipment.
2. Give the green light for the purchase of a used 75 ft quint ladder truck from Sycuan Fire Department, inclusive of extra equipment like hoses, appliances (fittings), and radios, for a total of $197,000.
3. Direct the staff to actively seek out a quint engine available at a more budget-friendly price.
4. Instruct the staff to gather price quotations for a new quint ladder truck.
5. Withhold approval for the procurement of any engine at this point in tim the price of engine with no additional equipment for $175,000.

FROM: Nick Wells, City Manager
SUBJECT: City Manager Update
INFORMATION ONLY – NO ACTION REQUIRED AT THIS TIME
WATER ENTERPRISE
Rate Study – The profitability of the Water Enterprise has been problematic in recent years. Coupled with the debt covenant to budget a net revenue of 120% of the annual debt service, a rate adjustment has been explored. A formal Water Rate Study must be completed, which will be brought back for discussion soon.
PUBLIC WORKS
TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS
East Ninth Street Sidewalk Improvements – The Holt Group has completed design on the project. Staff has worked with LAFCo, the County and a private landowner to finalize jurisdiction and easements in the project area. SB1 funding was allocated to this and the West Ninth project at the July, 2023, meeting.
Information on the project was input to the State’s tracking system and it was approved for utilization of the funding. Advertising to procure contractors was approved in November. The RFP ad was recently run in the Holtville Tribune with a 30-day response window. Action will be proposed in February.
Pear Canal Undergrounding/Ninth Street Improvements (Olive to Melon) – this project has been discussed for some time. Initial action to proceed was taken in early 2021. A deposit was forwarded to IID to begin design and multiple site visits with staff, the IID and City Engineer took place to discuss issues that need to be addressed in design. Undergrounding work was scheduled to take place in December 2021, however, delays were discussed in those meetings from the IID side which eventually led to construction work being pushed back. The City has been awarded funding through ICTC for the resulting necessary sidewalk and roadway improvements, however that funding will not be available until at least October, 2023, so this is not an issue from our standpoint. A conversation with Mr. Hawk revealed that he is waiting for this project to take place to begin construction of his adjacent housing project.
A construction challenge for IID existed for this project, as it would make it difficult to continue to service several nearby County-area residences served by surface water. It was determined that incentivizing these properties to convert to City water would be in the best interest of the project. Staff worked with IID on companion communication to those residents to encourage them to switch. At one point, IID had identified that only two properties remained that needed conversion, but staff met with them in July, 2023, and they agreed to convert to City service! City staff has worked with IID staff to double check total compliance (2 more residences were discovered that need to be contacted) and is working with a local contractor to estimate the cost of installation. The ad to procure a Design Engineer was recently run in the Holtville Tribune with a 30-day response window. Action will be proposed in February.

Pine Avenue Sidewalks – Subsequent to the awards of funding for streets projects utilizing Federal Highways dollars through ICTC in early 2022, another year of projects was quickly requested to be added.
Holtville submitted a project to capture CMAQ dollars to add sidewalks to either side of Pine Avenue between Fourth and Fifth Streets. Action to approve was taken in October.
PARKS
Holtville Wetlands Project – In late 2016, approximately $3 million was granted to the City through the US Bureau of Reclamation (BoR). THG was selected for Grant Administration tasks and George Cairo Engineering (GCE) for design services. GCE was significantly behind schedule from the outset, but finally produced a Record of Survey that was first filed with the County in 2018. The plan check process proved to be extremely slow with holdups by both the County and GCE. THG and staff applied pressure throughout the process, with an eventual approval in 2021.
Authorization was given to release a construction RFP in August, 2021 and was advertised in early 2022.
Only one bid was submitted, which was significantly over (+/- $1.4 million) the construction budget. A status conference was held with BoR to strategize and discuss options, as staff began working on potential solutions, such as augmented grant funds from other sources and “value engineering” to trim the cost of the project. The contractor has committed to holding their bid for a few more months.
The BoR representative, Jeremy Brooks, has been extremely helpful in moving the project along. In September, he was able to secure funding to bridge the gap to pay for construction. That funding was officially awarded in early February. Action to officially award the construction contract was taken in March and a pre-con meeting was held in early May, with the contractor onsite performing various activities simultaneously.
The site has now been fully constituted with regard to major earth work, with finish grading and piping remaining to be completed. Additionally, the access roadway needs to be completed. A minor holdup with a permit from the state is currently pausing progress temporarily, but is in process. The October site tour with BoR representatives was rescheduled, however, a conversation notifying them of a potential extension received positive feedback to demonstrated progress. The BoR rep also offered to intervene in speeding up the latest hiccup in the permitting process. He made some calls and one permit with the state was approved, the other with the Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) was returned for further revision. Much of the piping between cells has been completed, as has the headworks for the inlet area. We await approval to tap into the River and begin the process of populating the beds with plant species. Although the ACE permit seems to be imminent, the project grant end date was looming on January 30. BoR was aware of the issue, but staff officially requested an extension this week.
Railroad Trestle Repair – A grant was secured from the California Natural Resources Agency to repair the railroad trestle burned in a river bottom fire several years ago. This is necessary to connect the Trail to east side of the river and eventually the future Wetlands area. After over a decade and a half of being somewhat unsightly and unusable, the trestle will soon be fixed cosmetically and usable for pedestrian and non-motorized traffic. Documentation was finally signed for this grant in late October, 2021, The City Engineer completed the technical specification for the Scope of Work in June 2022 for the RFP. A decision was made to forestall the bid process a bit to allow construction costs to stabilize. An extension was secured in early October from the funding agency to allow this extra time. Kleinfelder, Inc., was selected for Design services in April. A meeting with the design team was held in early May wherein various facets of the project were discussed. Mayor Ward volunteered to sit in on meetings for this project when possible, so she and staff met with the design team via Zoom to discuss preliminary design concepts last month. There are multiple concepts being discussed, most to control costs and stretch the project dollars, for which they sought input. Staff has continued to meet with the design team and expects preliminary work product in the near future. A meeting last week with the design engineer led to multiple decisions on design considerations. 3 City Council/CM Reports (01-22’24)
Mayor Ward and the CM have proceeded with the general direction of keeping the original character of the structure, while making concessions to keep costs under control.
Staff checked in with the Design Engineer in late December. At this point, most of the structural work has been completed, with additional work needed on ancillary elements such as landscaping and the proposed picnic area. We will be proposing an update meeting in the next few weeks to see the current progress.
At the SCAG event in May, 2022, the City Manager had multiple discussions about a Trail extension from the Trestle to the Country Club area, then to the UC Research station and eventually to Hwy 111 for easier access to IVC with active transportation funding options. The idea was well-received and staff will be meeting with other agencies about the concept in the future. Subsequently, the head of Public Works for the County was brought in and he was enthusiastically supportive. This will be explored in a future Active Transportation funding cycle.
Mellinger Alamo River Trail - A grant application through River Partners, a non-profit that deals in habitat restoration, for a project that would be a good complement to our Wetlands trail spur, was unsuccessful in 2022. RP has recently contacted staff to discuss another potential submission.
Staff has begun to look at another grant opportunity through State Parks for the spur line to the Wetlands.
As the Trestle Improvements and Wetlands projects are about to begin, the need for the Trail extension will soon be crucial.
ADMINISTRATION
Public Safety Lot/New Construction – Rubio Medina of Irvine, California was engaged in April to perform Architecture services to design Phase I (Fire Apparatus Bay) and Phase II (PS Administration & Fire Dormitories) of this project. Staff met with Mr. Medina multiple times in early May and iterative documents are already being discussed and revised. Pursuant to discussions between Chief Silva, the CM and Mr. Medina, regarding configuration a plan for constructing a 3-bay apparatus section and a 2-story administration/residence area was developed. Further discussion also clarified the placement of the building on the site. Chief Silva continues work with Mr. Medina on design elements. Council had discussion regarding the external motif of the building, which moved on to the subcommittee for the project. Feedback was provided to the architect and he was very open to incorporating ideas presented. A meeting was recently held to present updated design palettes to the subcommittee last week. Mr. Medina has some exciting ideas and is welcoming input as the project progresses. Staff spoke with Mr. Medina this week. With delays in communication, there is still significant work to be done that will take time. Staff will discuss with Council further.
BUILDING DEPT - The City issued 121 building permits in 2023 and has issued 2 in 2024. A list of permits pulled by month is available on the City’s website at http://holtville.ca.gov/section.php?id=73.
Melon, LLC Housing Project (± 50) – A project has been in the works for some time at the northeast corner of Ninth and Melon, just outside the City limits. After years of confusion regarding the process, the project’s ownership group, led by John Hawk, engaged Development Design & Engineering in 2016 to assist in shepherding the project along. DD&E completed CEQA compliance and a Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted by the Planning Commission and City Council in late 2020.
The project was presented at Planning Commission in October 2020 and drew a good deal of public opposition. PC action pushed the project forward with a designation of allowing R-1 or R-2 development, with Council accepting the PC recommendation in November, 2020. The more dense R-2 zoning designation would allow up to 8 units per acre or approximately 65 units. The annexation was approved by LAFCo in February, 2021. We await further submission from the project proponent. 4 City Council/CM Reports (01-22’24)
Mr. Hawk has vacillated between engaging a contractor to begin construction and selling off this project.
The CM met with a developer in the Spring that was highly interested in acquiring the project, but that may have cooled somewhat.
Staff recently spoke with Mr. Hawk and reminded him that there are still several requirements to move his project forward, which he could be doing concurrently with the preparation and construction of the IID and City improvements. He said he will be speaking to his partners. As the undergrounding and street work are imminent, he still needs to produce a site plan, building plans, pull permits, etc. The City’s project should now have no bearing on his timeline. This was reiterated to Mr.
Hawk again this week.
AMG Sunset Rose Senior Apartments (± 33) – In July, 2022, the City was granted HOME funding for this AMG & Associates apartment project, proposed in the area of Third and Grape. This will create some longterm oversight by the City, but it does continue to add housing. A subdivision map was approved for the property. A consultant to administer this grant was engaged in May, 2022, and an application for additional subsidized financing was approved by the City in late November.
A pre-submittal meeting was held in early November to discuss necessary aspects to the construction with the project proponent, including offsite improvements. Much of the discussion centered on handling stormwater. Plans were submitted in late November. AMG addressed all substantive issues and permits were issued in late February. Final map and the necessary proposed lot split were approved in late February as well. Since the closing of the financing, several paperwork/compliance issues cropped up that the City has been left to work on. This was not the “deal” as originally presented, so staff sought assistance. Staff met with HCD representatives on this project in October. We are hoping they will assist in working with the contractor to get the project running more smoothly.
The project is currently somewhat in limbo, as construction bids came in significantly over projections. The developer is working to mitigate some of those issues prior to proceeding. Additional regulatory documentation was recently requested, which may indicate that onset of construction is once again on the near horizon. Staff worked the past few weeks with consultants to assist the developer to place a fund draw to begin construction. The funding draw documents were approved last week, allowing for drawdown of capital to (we assume) to begin construction immediately.
BESS Project – A proposed battery storage project near Melon and Sixth was proposed several months ago and had a flurry of meetings, submissions and communications in the past month. After much consternation, a permit for initial site work was granted in July. Staff continues to work with the contractor on submissions. Interaction continues as the project develops. Discussions has continued to revise requirements and continue the project moving forward.
Capital Improvements Project Listing – a meeting was held in November with staff, including the City Manager, City Engineer, City Planner and Water/Wastewater Lead Operator to discuss long term capital improvements needed in the City. Water system improvements, sewer system upgrades, streets projects and other issues were discussed and expected to be further explored. A more complete detailing of the discussion will be presented to the Council in the near future.
ISSUES
Imperial Valley Healthcare District – the proposed creation of this entity has continued to be a topic for discussion on various fronts. Mr. Anderson and Ms. Ward have been sitting in on some discussions to keep Council informed on this “hot button” regional topic. Legislation was passed with a Board that includes a seat for a representative of Holtville. The City conducted outreach for citizens interested in serving in that capacity and City Council appointed Laura Goodsell as its representative in December.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
DATE ISSUED: January 8, 2024
FROM: Alex Silva, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: Annual Report for year 2023
THIS IS INFORMATION PROVIDED TO THE CITY COUNCIL. NO ACTION IS REQUIRED OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
First and foremost, I would like to thank City Council, City Manager Nick Wells, my outstanding firefighters for allowing me another year as your Fire Chief. December 2023 was my 15-year anniversary as Fire Chief for the City of Holtville
This year was the busiest call volume (pre Covid) we have had since I started doing a yearly report to the city. We averaged two calls per day, in 2023 we averaged 3 calls per day. While another call per day might not seem like a lot, it’s about a 33% increase in our call volume.
This year we par�cipated in two strike teams ac�va�ons, one to Riverside (Rabbit Fire) with the brush truck and myself and to the Happy Camp Complex, myself for 18 days. The State of California had a lot of precipita�on this year, this only adds to the upcoming years as fuel for future fires.
The Firefighter’s associa�on con�nued with the great community involvement. During the month of February, we took academic achievement school kids to the carnival, our Ride your Bike to School in May, Walk to School in October, Fill a boot for shoes, Jonny B the EMT Guardian Angel program, fire preven�on presenta�on, visits to the fire house, career days, atend the Burn Ins�tute Camp, Community Emergency Response Team training, the IVC senior health and exercise program and Holtville Explorer’s program.
This year’s summer pool was a great success. The lifeguards did a fantas�c job, I am extremely happy to report we didn’t have a significant incident.
Thank you for your con�nued support.
