Mr. Wells presented a preliminary cost estimate from Architect Rubio Medina on the Public Safety Building Project. He explained that the cost to execute Phase 1 & 2 is currently estimated at a little over $11M. This figure is significantly higher than earlier projections. The fire bay (Phase 1) was expected to cost less, but is now figured to cost about $3M. Residential and administration structures are estimated at $8M. Being that the City has $5M in funds for the project secured, the current plans might need to be modified or reorder the phases.

72-Hour Parking Ordinance (2024’04)
City of Holtville
REPORT TO COUNCIL
DATE ISSUED: April 3, 2024
FROM: Nick Wells, City Manager
SUBJECT: Ordinances 488/499: Amending Residential Parking Regulations (Lawn Parking & Prohibition of Street Parking in Excess of 72-Hours) ISSUE
Shall the City Council approve an amendment to the Holtville Municipal Code to more closely regulate the vehicle parking in residential zones of the City?
DISCUSSION
Over the past several years, it is easy to identify a proliferation of travel trailers, toy haulers and other recreational vehicles in the area. Although certain long-standing ordinances would seem to regulate their storage in residential neighborhoods, they have increased in number in back yards, driveways and on residential streets throughout Holtville.
The current ordinance for all vehicles parked on City streets states that “It is unlawful for any person to park or leave standing, or cause to be parked or left standing, any vehicle upon any highway, public street, or alley in the city for 72 or more consecutive hours.” (Ord. 286 § 1, 1964; Ord. 235 § 10.1, 1956). In some cases under these terms, vehicle owners have decided that moving vehicles incrementally prior to the 72-hour regulation expiring is technically sufficient to avoid citation. It is unclear whether that logic has been tested locally.
Pursuant to multiple resident complaints regarding the danger presented by decreased visibility due to the high profile of many of these vehicles, staff took note of the problem and found it to be fairly widespread, though particularly concentrated in a handful of locations around the City.
Subsequently, ICSO officers were asked to pay particular attention to the issue. In the last several months, multiple warnings were given, over 20 citations issued, and more than a dozen vehicles towed.
Unfortunately, although several trailers were moved to legal storage areas, many vehicles remain stored on the street, with individuals using the slight movement ploy to keep them on the street.
Staff researched other city ordinances on the subject and determined that the potentially most effective measures contain a provision that requires relocation of the vehicle a prescribed longer distance to avoid citation. Although that distance may require some deliberation, it is presented herein as a half mile.
In 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance 488, which disallowed parking of vehicles in residential zones on areas identified as lawns or otherwise unimproved surfaces at the front of the property (See attached). The measure was not properly codified, so it needs to be reintroduced to properly have it added to the Holtville Municipal Code.
As the proposed action to bolster the 72-hour parking restriction (Ordinance 499) would be in the same code section as Ordinance 488, staff is presenting them together. If both are deemed appropriate and acceptable, all of the language may just be included in the new Ordinance 499, making passage of 488 unnecessary.
Approval of On Call Professional Services Firms (03’15) Ordinance 488 nad/or 499 Residential Parking Restrictions
FISCAL IMPACT
Although there would be some amount of citation revenue generated, there is no significant fiscal impact.
CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council move the new ordinance forward for eventual approval in its entirety.
ALTERNATIVES
1 - Accept the ordinance as written, moving forward passage of all included language 2 - Amend the language of one or both portions presented. 3 – Repass only Ordinance 488.
4 – Pass only the language for the new 72-hour restrictions. 5 - Take no action, allowing the status quo to remain.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
DATE ISSUED: April 5, 2024
FROM: Nick Wells, City Manager
SUBJECT: Ordinance 491: Regarding Restricting the Use of Cargo Containers Ordinance 493: Regarding Regulating Improved Cargo Container Use Ordinance 496: Regarding Signage and Development Setback Requirements in Downtown Zones
ISSUE
Shall the City Council approve amendment to the Holtville Municipal Code to regulate Use of Cargo Containers and Signage in the Downtown Zone?
DISCUSSION
In 2018, the City Council adopted Ordinance 491, which disallowed the use of cargo containers in residential zones for storage and other ancillary uses. As commercial/industrial structures, their use was deemed inappropriate. Subsequently, residents requested exemptions if the containers could be modified of improved to better blend in with the subject residence and/or surrounding area. Ordinance 493 modified the restriction to allow for such installations.
As Ordinance 493 amended some language of 491 in the same code section, it would be possible to combine the action into one. If both are deemed appropriate and acceptable, all of the language may just be included in the new Ordinance 493, making passage of 491 unnecessary.
In 2020, pursuant to numerous and repeated resistance to the restrictions of the Downtown Code with respect to setbacks that were/are virtually impossible to meet, and signage restrictions that were also very unpopular with development, Ordinance 496 was crafted to ease some of those requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no significant fiscal impact.
CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council move the ordinances forward for eventual approval.
ALTERNATIVES
1 - Accept the ordinances as written, moving forward passage of all included language 2 - Amend the language of any portions presented.
3 – Repass any of the Ordinances individually.
4 - Take no action, allowing the status quo to remain.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
DATE ISSUED: April 4, 2024
FROM: Yvette Rios, City Clerk
SUBJECT: TextMyGov Proposal
ISSUE:
Shall the City Council award a contract to TextMyGov for text messaging communication services?
DISCUSSION:
In March 2024, City Clerk Yvette Rios was engaged by a representative from TextMyGov, a smart technology platform that facilitates communication between local government agencies and citizens via text messaging. As a two-way avenue of communication, features include finding information, sending alerts, and reporting issues. TextMyGov purchases a local phone number database from USPS for municipalities to send alerts. Short code numbers are generated for residents to opt-in to specific alert groups. The City would be assigned a local number for residents to find information or report issues. Staff at City Hall respond to many calls a day with questions that can be easily answered by information that is on our website or automated responses. This communication solution will directly provide answers and relevant links, reducing the number of repetitive calls. The City will be empowered to relay information to the residents in a modern way.
Recently, the Council directed staff to list the monthly Farmers Market & Street Fairs as a community event with local newspapers in an attempt to draw larger crowds to the events.
TextMyGov can be utilized to remind residents of upcoming events and potentially increase attendance. Other use cases for the TextMyGov features are listed in Attachment B.
FISCAL IMPACT:
A proposal was received with a discount for $5,000. A one-time implementation/Setup Fee is included for $1,000, as well as an annual recurring charge of $4,000. This contract is set for a three-year term, after which the agreement will revert to year-to-year.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The City Clerk recommends that the purchase be approved.
ALTERNATIVES:
Not to authorize.

DATE ISSUED: April 5, 2024
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 at some point in the future.
PUBLIC WORKS
TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS
East Ninth Street Sidewalk Improvements – The City was awarded CMAQ money to complete this project through Caltrans and ICTC. Holt Group completed design on the project in late 2023. Staff 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 in July, 2023. Advertising to procure contractors was run in January and Nicklaus Engineering (NEI) was selected as the RE/CM for the project.
A project kickoff meeting was held in early March with NEI, THG and staff to discuss issues and responsibilities. The construction bid opening was held on Tuesday, February 13, 2024, with a low bid actually coming in below the projected project cost. A request was made to Caltrans to reallocate some of the funding to cover some non-construction costs. Contract documents have been completed by the contractor and counter signed by the City. A small issue cropped up with insurance documents, but was rectified this week, so a pre-con meeting is expected next week.
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. LC Engineering was awarded the contract for design in February.
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 Meeting Date 04/08/24

2 City Council/CM Reports (04-08’24)
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. Staff renewed attempts to contact the remaining residents. One of the 2 has now expressed an interest in starting City water service. In March, the final remaining holdout submitted paperwork to connect to City water service, so staff is working with IID to get the project reinitialized.
Separately, staff met with a contractor to establish physical connections.
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, 2023.
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 approved plans in 2021.
A construction RFP was released 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 committed to holding their bid for a few more months. The BoR representative, Jeremy Brooks, was extremely helpful in moving the project along. In September, 2022, he was able to secure funding to bridge the gap to pay for construction. That funding was officially awarded in early February, 2023. 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 some piping remaining to be completed. Additionally, the access roadway needs to be completed. A minor holdup with a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is currently pausing progress temporarily, but is in process. 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 in January, which was granted. The new completion deadline has been pushed to September, 2024. THG completed work on an additional set of documents requested by USACE and met with their representative in March. Although the application was not immediately accepted, he gave some positive feedback that things are on the right track and suggested a short list of fixes. Adrian from THG has now resubmitted the amended application, but has thus far been unsuccessful reconnecting with USACE to try to finalize the permit.
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 3 City Council/CM Reports (04-08’24)
staff met with the design team via Zoom to discuss preliminary design concepts. Multiple ideas to control costs and stretch the project dollars were decided upon. Staff has continued to meet with the design team.
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. A January update meeting between the Design team, the City Planner and the CM revealed that the project had stalled due to a needed topographical study that the consultant thought the City would provide. After discussion, Kleinfelder engaged a local consultant to produce the document and the project is back in motion. Preliminary plans were recently submitted for review. Other than requesting a reprioritization of the elements to be completed vis a vis available funding, the project is once again progressing and starting to take definitive shape.
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. Discussions regarding this project ramped up again recently with a new round of Active Transportation funding coming up soon.
Mellinger Alamo River Trail - A grant application through River Partners, a non-profit that deals in habitat restoration, for a project that would include our Wetlands trail spur, was unsuccessful in 2022, but a reapplication recently received approval. RP met with the City Manager and toured the site this week to kick off the project. They are in discussion with Nicklaus Engineering to design the project. Staff was contacted by NEI in March to discuss design elements. Another onsite meeting with River Partners is expected this week.
ADMINISTRATION
Financial Audit – Multiple challenges with the new accounting software have delayed work on the City’s annual financial audit. This will impact the submission of the Single Audit of Federal funds, due March 31, however the Finance Department continues to work to rectify the issue. Trial balances were finally submitted last week with some immediate questions which will be addressed.
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.
Public Safety Lot/New Construction – Rubio Medina of Irvine, California was engaged in April,2023, 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 were discussed and revised. Pursuant to discussions between Chief Silva, the CM and Mr.
Medina regarding configuration, direction solidified for constructing a 3-bay apparatus section and a 2-story administration/residence area. 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 4 City Council/CM Reports (04-08’24)
welcoming input as the project progresses. Mr. Medina is now moving forward with subconsultants for plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc.
Multiple conversations regarding augmented funding have taken place with staff, Mayor Anderson, and various entities. Some very positive leads have developed that will continue to be pursued.
BUILDING DEPT - The City issued 28 building permits 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.
Staff spoke with Mr. Hawk multiple times to remind 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 in January.
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. 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 was 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.
Start was delayed as construction bids came in significantly over projections. The developer has now made a draw down on funding, so construction is imminent.
AMG Pine Crossing Apartments – Staff has been approached by AMG, notifying the City that the mirror image project across from Fern Crossing will be starting up, with plan submittal expected soon.
Peri & Sons Ag Labor Housing (66) – this project was introduced to Planning Commission earlier this week. It proposes to construct USDA-approved dormitory style housing for up to 660 H2A Visa Program agriculture laborers working for the applicant firm. PC approved the site plan and density waiver contingent on City Council approval of the land use designation and Conditional Use Permit. A Public Hearing was held at the last City Council meeting and the project was approved. We will now await more definitive site plans and building design for review.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
DATE ISSUED: April 4, 2024
FROM: Haley Dowsey, Personnel Technician
SUBJECT: County of Imperial Public Health Department Community Event Fees Increase ISSUE
THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED TO THE CITY COUNCIL. NO ACTION IS REQUIRED OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
DISCUSSION
The Imperial County Board of Supervisors recently approved adjustments to the fee schedule for the Environmental Health Division, including the Community Event Program. The fees will go into effect beginning July 1, 2024. Currently, a food vendor who does not hold a permit through the County, applies for a Temporary Food Facility Permit (TFF). The current fee for a TFF Permit is $10.00 and the community event organizer fee is $5.00 per event. Therefore, a food vendor is currently paying $15.00 in fees. However, after July 1, 2024, the TFF permit application fee is being raised from $10.00 to $50.00 per event. The Community event organizer application fee is being raised from $5.00 per food vendor to $25.00 per food vendor. Therefore, a food vendor will have to pay $75.00 per event in fees that are paid directly to the County of Imperial Environmental Health Department. The fees could potentially negatively impact our Food Vendors for the City of Holtville’s Farmers Market & Street Fair events. The letter and Community Event Program Fees are attached for your review.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
RECOMMENDATION
None.
ALTERNATIVE
