As directed, she collected alternative proposals from similar platforms and sought feedback from neighboring cities. The results were compared in a chart for the Council to easily peruse. Ms. Rios shared that although she found strong competitors, she still favors the platform she originally presented, TextMyGov. She recommended that the Council further pursue a contract with TextMyGov, due to their unmatched services that focus on interactive two-way communication, in addition to necessary basic functions. Mr. Munger was hesitant of the 3-year contract term and would favor the platform more if the term could be lowered to 1-year. Ms. Rios will request a lower contract term and gather answers for other questions she was asked. Mr. Wells reminded the Council of the upcoming League of Cities Annual Conference in October, where attendees may scope out supplemental options. The discussion was tabled for the upcoming meeting.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
DATE ISSUED: September 6, 2024
FROM: Yvette Rios, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Communication Platforms
ISSUE:

Shall the City Council award a contract to a communication platform to enhance social relationships and information delivery with residents?
DISCUSSION:

In late 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.

Ms. Rios presented a proposal from TextMyGov at the City Council meeting held April 8, 2024, where she was directed by the Council to pursue alternative options and confer with cities from the Imperial Valley and report back later. The council noted that SCAG delegates may have the opportunity to determine if other local governments are utilizing similar communication platforms through social networking at the SCAG conference.

As per the direction of the Council, Ms. Rios sought alternative options to TextMyGov, for comparative purposes. Alternative options found include CivicPlus, GOGov, text-em-all, Thrillshare through Apptegy, and govDelivery through Granicus. The City of El Centro is utilizing CivicPlus and the City of Imperial has the MyImperial phone app through GOGov.

To provide the Council insight that may assist any related action, a survey was released on August 14, 2024, via social media and fliers posted around the City.

After discussion at the August 26 meeting, this item was tabled for the present convening.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Proposals have been compared in the Communication Comparison Chart found in Attachment A.

A revised proposal has been received from TextMyGov, see Attachment B.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

The City Clerk recommends that a communication platform be awarded a contract.

ALTERNATIVES:

Not to authorize.

CITY OF HOLTVILLE

CALIFORNIA

TEXTMYGOV FOR
Every agency uses Textmygov a
Little bit differently. Here are some
KEY features that would best help
Holtville.

Key Features
Our interactive side would allow residents to text in with commonly asked questions, and from there the system will kick back automated responses directing the resident back to the city website. This will field questions regarding trash bin replacements, permit fees, agendas, business licensing, and city ordinance questions.

The reporting issue feature will give the residents another avenue to report their complaints, the resident texts in the issue with a photo, and from there the system will compile the data and forward the work order to the correct department in an email or text chain. This will be used for residents submitting complaints such as water leaks, loose dogs, and virtually any complaint that can be reported. This is and will be a valuable asset for call reduction.

TextMyGov’s scheduled alerts will allow you to pre-create and schedule notifications, this will help schedule upcoming event reminders, Veterans Day parades, and water bill notices.

TextMyGov’s map feature will allow you to highlight and send out text notifications to targeted areas within the city, this will be used in the event of water main breaks, water shutoffs, and inclement weather.

The notifications feature will allow the user to create singular or multiple group types for your residents, this can be used for office hours, events, taxes, elections, and water notifications. The sky is the limit with notification groups that can be created on the back end.

WHY TEXTMYGOV?
No Download Needed
Citizens don’t need to download an app or subscribe to an email service. If they have a cell phone they have access to alerts/notifications.

For the user, this system is web-based, so you won't be using your cell phones. We will provide you with logins.

Dedicated Account Management
Every account has a Dedicated Account Manager who will help set up your entire account. We specifically work with local governments so they will be able to provide suggestions on best practices and ideas on how you can maximize the service.

Unlimited Training
Your account manager will provide unlimited training for staff. We know that departments can turn over, so we are here to help train new staff, new departments, or even just a refresher.

SUBJECT: Potential On Hand Sources of Funding for the Public Safety Building ISSUE: calling for an election to be conducted by the
Shall the City Council consider allocating of funds on hand from various sources to the construction of the Public Safety Building proposed to be constructed on Sixth Street and Pine Avenue? DISCUSSION:

For over twenty years, the City has examined various concepts for constructing a Public Safety Facility and/or multiple City facilities on the vacant lot owned by the City of Holtville north of Holt Park. The lot was donated to the City by the Meek family for that purpose. Although full architectural plans were developed in 2009, the project was put out to bid at that time and all bids received were significantly higher than the cost estimate, which stalled the project.

An alternative plan for “segmenting” the project to attempt to construct the building in phases in order to break the project into financially manageable parts was developed in the past few years.

Again, multiple alternatives and footprints have been explored. A final footprint was selected in 2023 and an architect, Rubio Medina, was selected to design the facility.

As we draw closer to the completion of the plans, decisions need to be made regarding the scope of the project, specifically whether to follow the phasing approach to select one of the segments (Phase I-Apparatus Bay or Phase II-Admin Offices/Dorms) or to procure loans to construct the entire project all at once. Staff has gathered information for funding on hand that has been discussed in the past as potential sources for the project. The following funds have been discussed in past conversations:

RDA Bond Funds $1,796,953
CDBG Program Income $1,013,882
Federal AARPA Funds $1,224,795
Detention Center Revenue $912,720
Congressional Award $250,000
Money Market Account Interest Earnings $218,730
Total $5,417,080
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that these funds be earmarked for construction of the Public Safety Building and consideration be given to funding the remainder of the full project with bond or loan funding. 09/09/24

SUBJECT: City Manager Update
INFORMATION ONLY – NO ACTION REQUIRED AT THIS TIME

ADMINISTRATION
Financial Audit – Multiple challenges with the new accounting software delayed work on the City’s 2022- 23 financial audit, including submission of the Single Audit of Federal funds, which was due March 31.

After several months, the Finance Department was able to rectify the issue and the auditors performed their work. The audit was finalized in July and filed with the proper agencies. It will be presented to Council at a future meeting.

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 wherein 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 and the external motif of the building. Feedback was provided and Mr. Medina was very open to incorporating ideas presented.

Mr. Medina has moved forward with subconsultants for plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc. Due to an increase in the size of the project over that which was called out in the RFP, the architect has approached the City about augmented funding, which may be brought to Council in the future. More solid delineation of cost estimates for the phasing of the project were presented in August and presented to Council for consideration.

An item is on the current Agenda to further discuss this and potential available funds to construct.

Multiple conversations regarding augmented funding have taken place with staff, Mayor Anderson, and various entities. The CM compiled information from various sources and submitted an application for directed Congressional funding to Raul Ruiz’s office in early May. The City received word that the project was selected by the Congressman and recommended to the Congressional budget committee. We recently received word that the project is on track to receive some funding, which will be a welcome addition to the City’s ability to construct. However, the amount projected to be received will likely be a fraction of the amount requested, so sizing the project down is probably on the horizon.

Citywide Pavement Maintenance Project – a Streets Assessment report was prepared by the City Engineer earlier this year reporting the general condition of the over 16 miles of streets maintained by the City.

system to prolong life of the system and forestall major work to a future date. At the July Council meeting, direction was given to proceed with preparation of specifications for the project. A check with THG revealed that the report is being finalized and should be ready for the first October meeting. Pursuant to that, Council will revisit the issue to identify the extent of the maintenance project.

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. A previously agreed upon administrative course of action to annex a small strip of the project from the County into the City is now requiring a more formal process.

The CM met with the County CEO and Public Works Director to finalize the required paperwork, which will now need to go through a formal process with LAFCO. A stopgap measure was completed to circumvent this issues while the full process is completed. The project was permitted to go forward, so a pre-construction meeting was held in mid-July, and construction began in late July. Concrete for the curb, gutter and sidewalk has been poured. Pavement work is taking place as this report is written. The project was able to capture all the maximum available funding, by adding repairs to pavement within the project area in addition to the prescribed road widening.

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. 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 to encourage the residents to switch. 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. The CM is working with IID to schedule the work prior to the undergrounding operation. The CM has had multiple conversations with IID and ICTC in the past several weeks and we will keep this moving forward.

A new wrinkle developed wherein the dedicated Congressional funding IID procured is not immediately accessible. Although that is expected to be resolved fairly soon, the uncertainty begat the need to push the City’s project funding into next fiscal year to avoid non-performance. David Aguirre with ICTC worked with SCAG and Caltrans to accomplish that. At present, we await final paperwork issues for the dispersal of Congressional funds for the project. It looks as if the funding will be directed to the City to administer,.

In a significant development last week, it was relayed to staff that by taking on administration of the funding, the City would now be responsible for paying the 11.47% matching funds necessary for the grant, which could be in the neighborhood of $100k. Since this was not originally part of the equation, it will require some discussion in the near future.

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. 3 City Council/CM Reports (09-09’24)
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.

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.

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 netted only one bid, which was significantly over (+/- $1.4 million) the construction budget. 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 constructed with regard to major earth work, piping and the inlet headworks, however there was a substantial holdup with a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).

Originally applied for as a renewal in October, 2023, a new analyst required much more information than previously required. Through various meetings and multiple iterations, THG completed work on additional documents requested by USACE and the permit was finally approved in June (though still not officially issued!). In early August, the USACE permit was finally officially granted and issued! The long wait for the USACE permit necessitated a time extension request in January, which was granted.

The new completion deadline was pushed to September, 2024. Now that the USACE permit is in hand, it would be possible to complete the planting in a short amount of time, however, the potential success of establishing foliage during the Imperial Valley summer months is a difficult endeavor, so due to the length of time taken by USACE, another extension needed to be requested in July. The extension to December 31 was granted in August. THG recently updated the required stormwater plan (SWPPP) and we await an updated construction schedule from the contractor. Staff has begun discussions with BoR to schedule a ribbon cutting in the Fall.

THG contacted the contractor to ramp back up when possible. The horticulture contractor has ordered plants for the project. It is assumed that we will be able to tap into the River and begin the process populating the beds with plant species proceed in late-September or early October when the material is in hand.

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 4 City Council/CM Reports (09-09’24)
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.

The decision was made to proceed with the general direction of keeping the original character of the structure, while making concessions to keep costs under control.

At this point, most of the structural design 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. The designer recently inquired about prioritization of construction elements, so costing seems to be on the horizon. As of today, Kleinfelder is promising 90% plans by early next week, so this phase nears completion.

Another status meeting is to be held next week to keep this project moving.

Holtville East Trail Link - The City Manager had multiple discussions in recent years 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 by SCAG staff and the head of County Public Works. An application for of Active Transportation funding was developed in mid-2024. A public hearing was held at Planning Commission to solicit any comments from residents regarding the project. Although only one member of the public was on hand to register a comment, both his feedback and that from the PC was positive. A grant application was submitted in June to fund design of the project.

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. River Partners staff met briefly with the CM a few weeks ago while in town to do a physical “scouting” trip to decide a best path for the trail extension. We expect to meet with them and the design engineer soon to discuss. Staff has interacted with River Partners multiple times in the past few weeks. They have done some preliminary exploration and soil sampling and continue to move the project forward. They are now beginning weekly check-in meetings. A tentative map was forwarded to the City this week. The original template is aggressive (i.e. “Expensive”), so it is assumed that discussions and concessions will be forthcoming. A slightly revised plan was recently presented which will be discussed with Council soon. The primary contact with River Partners announced in August that he was leaving for another opportunity. At a reorganization meeting held last week, an update to the current plans was given and several fine points discussed. River Partners committed to appearing at the October 14 meeting to update Council on the direction of the project.

BUILDING DEPT - The City issued 96 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 moving 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 the 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, 5 City Council/CM Reports (09-09’24)
with Council accepting the PC recommendation in November, 2020. The denser 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 and again in July.

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 drawdown on funding, however, the ownership group has been somewhat unresponsive as the project continues to sit in limbo. An extension on their CUP was requested and was granted by Planning Commission in May, so we still await the start of construction activities. The CM had a recent conversation with AMG to express disappointment over the lack of information flow. It was promised that more updates would begin to flow.

AMG Pine Crossing Apartments (± 64) – Staff has been notified by AMG, that the mirror image project across from Fern Crossing will be starting up, with plan submittal expected soon. The Building Inspector coordinated a meeting with a firm to perform the plan check, of whom the City Engineer approved. The Building Inspector finalized the agreement with the firm and submitted plans in June. The plans have already been returned to AMG with comments, so we await resubmission. The City Engineer and staff have had multiple recent meetings regarding this project, both on the site and with the design engineers.

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.

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.
