FROM: Nick Wells, City Manager 22-30
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 25-28 Opposition to California Proposition 50 ISSUE:

Shall the City Council approve Resolution No. 25-28, registering opposition to California's Proposition 50, the Use of Legislative Congressional Redistricting Map Amendment, and reaffirming support for the Citizens Redistricting Commission as the independent and nonpartisan body for Congressional redistricting in California? DISCUSSION:

Proposition 50 has been put forth by the California governor and legislature to appear on a statewide ballot in a special election on November 4, 2025. Existing law passed by California voters via previously approved Proposition 11 (2008) and Proposition 20 (2010) established the California Citizens Redistricting Commission (CCRC). This independent, nonpartisan body is empowered to draw district lines for the State Legislature, Board of Equalization, and U.S.

Congressional districts. The intent behind these reforms was to reduce political influence and increase public trust in the redistricting process.

Proposition 50 proposes a significant change by transferring Congressional redistricting authority from the CCRC back to the California State Legislature. This would reverse over a decade of voter-approved reforms intended to create a more transparent and impartial redistricting process.

Key concerns related to Proposition 50 include:
- Undermines the independence and transparency of the current redistricting process. - Sets a precedent for mid-decade redistricting, which has not been the norm in California. - Lack of customary public review during the legislative process, including bypassing the standard 30-day public notice period for constitutional amendments.

Additionally, the special election - which has already begun the mail-in voting process - has a projected cost exceeding $250 million, during a time of a significant shortfall.

Potential impacts on rural and border communities such as the Imperial Valley, which require fair and representative district boundaries that consider unique regional needs, including agriculture, international trade, and renewable energy development. These priorities are not necessarily shared by more urban communities.

The proposed resolution emphasizes that this opposition is not rooted in partisanship, but in the principle of preserving independent representation for local communities.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact to the City of Holtville associated with adopting this resolution. 10/13/25

HOLTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION NO. 25-28
A RESOLUTION OF THE HOLTVILLE CITY COUNCIL OPPOSING PROPOSITION 50,

THE USE OF LEGISLATIVE CONGRESSIONAL REDISTRICTING MAP AMENDMENT,

AND REAFFIRMING SUPPORT FOR THE CITIZENS REDISTRICTING COMMISSION

AS THE INDEPENDENT AND NONPARTISAN BODY FOR CONGRESSIONAL

REDISTRICTING IN CALIFORNIA
WHEREAS, California voters approved Proposition 11 in 2008 and Proposition 20 in 2010, establishing the California Citizens Redistricting Commission, an independent, nonpartisan body tasked with drawing district lines for the State Legislature, Board of Equalization, and U.S.

Congressional districts, with the intent of reducing political influence and strengthening public trust in the redistricting process; and
WHEREAS, redistricting traditionally occurs once every ten years following the United States Census, with the most recent process completed in 2021 using 2020 Census data to ensure districts are based on accurate and current population figures; and WHEREAS, Proposition 50 seeks to transfer the authority for drawing Congressional district boundaries from the Citizens Redistricting Commission back to the California State Legislature, reversing reforms that voters approved through the initiative process; and WHEREAS, while some states allow legislatures to conduct mid-decade redistricting, California has historically avoided this practice, and its introduction here could set a new precedent that may alter the balance of how communities are represented; and WHEREAS, Proposition 50 will trigger a statewide special election on November 4, 2025, with projected costs estimated at over $250 million statewide and additional costs at the county level, expenditures that come at a time when the State of California is managing significant budget shortfalls and fiscal constraints; and
WHEREAS, the legislative process advancing Proposition 50 was expedited and did not include the customary 30-day public review period for constitutional amendments, raising concerns among stakeholders about whether adequate time was provided for public input and analysis; and WHEREAS, California has been recognized for expanding voting access and adopting independent redistricting reforms, and Proposition 50 would represent a departure from that model by returning authority to elected officials in the Legislature; and WHEREAS, the Imperial Valley, with its international border, extensive agricultural lands, significant mileage of roadways, renewable energy development, and binational economy, requires fair representation that reflects the unique needs of this region; and WHEREAS, statewide decisions should strengthen, not diminish the ability of rural and border regions to be fairly represented and heard in both state and national policymaking.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE HOLTVILLE CITY COUNCIL DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND AUTHORIZE AS FOLLOWS:

1. That the City Council of the City of Holtville opposes California Proposition 50, the Use of Legislative Congressional Redistricting Map Amendment.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
DATE ISSUED: October 7, 2025
FROM: Nick Wells, City Manager
SUBJECT: Authorizing Continued Action with SitelogiQ on a Proposed Project to Implement Energy Efficiency Modifications and Solutions for City Buildings & Facilities ISSUE:

Shall the City Council approve continuing a process with SitelogiQ to implement proposed energy efficiency modifications and solutions for City facilities? DISCUSSION:

Over past several years, the State of California has passed various pieces of legislation that requires residents and entities to take measures to adopt clean energy procedures and encourage “greener” buildings, public installations and spaces. The City of Holtville has done minimal activity in moves toward compliance.

Several months ago, staff began discussions with SitelogiQ, an engineering firm that specializes in analyzing energy usage, designing programs to streamline energy usage, while maximizing the ability to procure government funding to install energy-saving devices and alternative sources of electricity.

Presentations were given to Council in March, then again in June.

It is hoped that after this phase, there is potential for future utilization of their services in conjunction with the Public Safety complex. It is obviously necessary to make some inroads to energy efficiency in its construction, however, discussion regarding solar car shades and EV car chargers has long been in the mix, one of their areas of specialty. If engaged for the current project, SitlogiQ would be wellpositioned to participate in the construction of those types of applications during and after construction of the facility.

SitelogiQ’s initial analysis of the City’s energy usage focused on the Water Plant, Sewer Plant, Chamber of Commerce building and sports field lighting. It produced multiple scenarios that demonstrate substantial potential savings. In each of the potential scenarios, the City would have a nominal initial investment that would quickly turn into savings from lowered IID energy bills. Again, these are preliminary estimates that need more edification.

After the Council authorized a more substantive evaluation of the City’s needs and potential for savings, a more extensive analysis was developed demonstrating potential for substantial savings.

A prospectus demonstrating those savings is attached.

The bulk of the savings from the proposed measures will be from the installation of solar arrays at both the Water and Wastewater Plants, however, there are multiple buildings that will be retrofitted with LED lighting. Additional LED lighting will also be installed at Samaha Park.

SitelogiQ Energy Efficiency Project
October 13, 2025
To move forward, a process involving contracted additional work, public hearings and funding procurement will ensue. Representatives of SiteLogiq are expected to be present to describe this process at the current meeting.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If the project moves forward, there is none at this time, nor will there be cash outlay for the life of the project if the assumptions are correct. Should the City choose to NOT move forward, there will be a breakage fee of $32,000, due to the fact that the project was shown to be viable and financially beneficial.

ALTERNATIVES
1) Authorize the project to move forward.
2) Choose not to pursue the project at this time, triggering the breakage fee. 3) Direct staff to work with other vendors to examine this area, also triggering the fee. 4) Give staff alternate direction.

CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDATION:

The City Manager recommends that the project and startup process be authorized. $ 2,099,000

REPORT TO COUNCIL
DATE ISSUED: October 10, 2025
FROM: Nick Wells, City Manager
SUBJECT: City Manager Update
INFORMATION ONLY – NO ACTION REQUIRED AT THIS TIME

ADMINISTRATION
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 Council, 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. Mr. Medina 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. A status update meeting with Mr. Medina was held via Zoom in late January. Chief Silva and the CM got an update, wherein Medina estimated submission of plans for first plan check to be middle to late February. Chief Silva has continued to meet virtually with the architect and subconsultants on various issues over the past few weeks. The full set of drawings were finally submitted to the plan check firm in late April. This process is expected to be iterative with the architect, with multiple redlines and resubmissions, however, staff expected the entire process to be less than 60 days, however the architect has once again been very slow to turn the documents back around to the plan checkers. Staff became aware of some information the architect was “waiting on” to move forward and sent that to him.

Multiple conversations regarding augmented funding have taken place with staff, Council, 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. Although we were notified in March that the Congressman’s projects were not funded, his office subsequently informed staff that the project will be resubmitted in the next round of funding. Staff will continue to work with the Congressman’s office in hopes that the funding will be secured in the coming fiscal year.

Staff continues to pursue additional funding sources. At the 2024 League of Cities Annual Conference, Councilmen Anderson and Goodsell joined the CM in multiple conversations with firms and organizations that show promise as potential funding sources. One salient proposal was received on which Council requested further research. The contact led to a two-year agreement in February with the CrisCom Company to represent the City in pursuing funding.

In late April, the CM and Mayor Goodsell flew to Sacramento in association with a League of Cities event and had an opportunity to meet with our state legislators regarding directed funding for the project. We were also able to dovetail into ongoing conversations between ICSO and these representatives for funding their own Imperial County project. Budget funding will be tight, due to state shortfalls, but this work, along with Meeting Date 10/13/25

assistance from CrisCom, put the City in a very favorable position to capture any potential windfalls. Chuck Jilloian, the President and CEO of CrisCom, addressed the Council at a June meeting, reiterating that our project stands a good chance of getting directed funding. The CM met with a CrisCom representative in August to get an update on the legislative process and discuss additional grant opportunities. It was revealed to our group at the League of Cities Conference that the City’s $2 million request to Congress made it out of committee and is still on track to be funded if/when a federal budget is passed.

Employee MOU Negotiations – the CM has been working with both the City Council and employee representatives to negotiate a framework for compensation and benefits for the City’s full-time employees.

Multiple items were proposed and accepted by both sides throughout the process. The employees accepted a final Council offer prior to the last meeting and an agreement was finalized. Action still must be taken with respect to Fire employees.

Severe Storm Event(s) –a storm cell of rain and extreme winds hit the City on Monday, August 25, 2025, blowing debris all around town, knocking down several trees, and damaging multiple structures in the City (primarily residential). Power was lost for most of the City’s residents for several hours. In a few cases within the City limits and the surrounding area, residents were without power for multiple days.

The Emergency Operations Center of the City was activated at City Hall that evening utilizing power from the facility’s emergency generator. Although most of the City structures were spared heavy damage, Public Works and Fire staff worked into the evening clearing roads, assessing damage and assisting residents. Some damage to Water infrastructure was discovered the next day.

Subsequent storms have passed through the area in the ensuing weeks, including another significant cell this week. Although the City proper had minimal damage in those storms, one caused extensive issues in the immediate surrounding community, with power lines falling once again and resulting power outages both on Orchard Road and at the Country Club.

PUBLIC WORKS

TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS
Pear Canal Undergrounding/Ninth Street Improvements (Olive to Melon) – Initial action to proceed with this project 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 needed 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.

IID had procured Congressional funding for the project that the City was asked to administer. Late in the process, 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. Nevertheless, an agreement was approved with IID to administer the funding in October. The closing financial paperwork with Caltrans remains. The CM met with IID in early March to discuss their upcoming billing for the work done on the project and what amount would be left for the City to recoup for our expenditures. It is evident that IID came in under the construction estimate and there is opportunity for the City to recoup the bulk of its cash outlay for the project. There was a bit of a holdup with billing from IID, however, that was provided in July. A reimbursement package has now been provided to Caltrans and we await final determination. A final report will be provided at that time regarding the amount of the grant funds gleaned and the City’s level of matching contribution.

The City was awarded funding through ICTC for the resulting necessary sidewalk and roadway improvements early in the process. LC Engineering was awarded the contract for design in February, 2024.

Delays with the undergrounding project pushed back the start of the sidewalk project, necessitating a time extension. A web conference was held in September to clarify the need to move a portion of the funding for 3 City Council/CM Reports (10-13’25)
the street project into the current fiscal year. With the undergrounding project complete, staff will prepare an RFP to begin the construction of the curb, gutter and sidewalk, along with the minor pavement necessary to widen the roadway. Staff began discussion with the City Engineer in January to develop the RFP for this project to be released in March, however, clearance to proceed from Caltrans was not issued until late July, so the procurement process has begun. Both Construction and RE/CM were advertised in September.

Information came down this week that the FHWA had removed DBE requirements from funding requirements, so an addendum to the RFPs is being prepared.

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. A Task Order for The Holt Group to prepare Design plans is was approved in September. 2025 Call for Projects – this topic was brought to City Council in late April to approve two projects suggested by staff. Pursuant to conversations at the SCAG Conference, the CM requested that planning staff work up and submit two additional projects by the due date. The 4 projects (Cedar Avenue from Fourth to Fifth, as well as Melon Avenue from Eighth to Ninth, Seventh to Eighth, and Sixth to Seventh) were submitted. ICTC went through the scoring process and the Holtville projects all scored toward the middle of the pack, however, especially given the palatable funding levels, all were proposed to be funded. These recommendations have now been forwarded to SCAG for final determination.

Capital Improvements Project Listing – a meeting was held in November, 2023, 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. Council has requested that this issue be moved up in the queue and this be addressed shortly. Staff reinitialized discussions and had some preliminary information on the late-April agenda. Another item is on the current agenda for discussion.

PARKS
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. Eventually, 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. Multiple ideas to control costs and stretch the project dollars were decided upon. 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.

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.

Pursuant to a periodic plan check, reprioritization of the elements to be completed vis a vis available funding was amended in May. Kleinfelder provided 90% plans in late September, so this phase nears completion.

Included in that plan set were construction estimates. After some analysis, staff will be bringing this to Council to approve advertising and bidding. THG reviewed the plans and sent them back to Kleinfelder for clarification and/or correction. The revised plans were resubmitted and further comments were sent back by THG. 95% plans were received on Monday, 2/10, with some minor adjustments still needed. Staff is currently 4 City Council/CM Reports (10-13’25)
working to procure the final environmental and cultural clearances so that the project can go to bid, likely within the next month. There has been a lack of information from the design engineer lately, so staff has reengaged and is finalizing work with the firm for RFP in the next few weeks. The CM met with THG representatives to coordinate bidding activities and the project should be advertised this month.

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 has been well received by SCAG staff and the head of County Public Works. An application for Active Transportation funding was developed in mid-2024 and a grant application was submitted in June to fund design of the project.

Mellinger Alamo River Trail - A grant was awarded in early 2024 to River Partners, a non-profit that deals in habitat restoration, for a project that would include a Wetlands trail spur. RP met with the City Manager and toured the site, then engaged Nicklaus Engineering to design the project. Staff was contacted by NEI in March to discuss design elements. River Partners staff continued to meet with the CM throughout the Spring and early Summer, performing a few physical “scouting” trips to decide the best path for the trail extension. They have done some preliminary exploration and soil sampling and continue to move the project forward. 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. River Partners presented a slightly revised plan to the Council in early October to get feedback on the direction of the project. Staff met virtually with River Partners in mid-December, with some minor adjustments to the plans discussed. A regrouping meeting was held in February – we are awaiting a few studies to proceed with the next steps in finalizing design and procuring funding. The City has been working with the Institute for Local Government on support for various projects, so they met with RP in early March to eventually assist with procuring construction grants when the time arises. A progress meeting this week revealed that a cultural resources report is being produced, after which project costing will continue and scoping can be discussed. A site visit is scheduled for this week with River Partners and IID to discuss next steps.

BUILDING DEPT - The City has issued 78 building permits in 2025. A list of permits issued by month is available on the City’s website at https://www.holtville.ca.gov/building-planning/building-and-planning/buildingdepartment/ 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, 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.

The CM has spoken with Mr. Hawk periodically in the past few months and he conveyed a desire to sell the project, which is now listed for sale.
5 City Council/CM Reports (10-13’25)
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 and they worked with the contractor to get the project running more smoothly.

Start was delayed as construction bids came in significantly over projections. The developer had made a drawdown on funding, however, the ownership group was somewhat unresponsive as the project sat in limbo for some time. An extension on their CUP was requested and was granted by Planning Commission in May, 2024, then a pre-construction meeting with the developer and City was finally held in January. Construction is in progress, which the Building Inspector is overseeing. Word was recently received that construction is expected to wrap up by early November.

AMG Pine Crossing Apartments (± 64) – This is a proposed mirror image project across from Fern Crossing complex. The Building Inspector and City Engineer have coordinated with a plan check firm on the plans that were first submitted in June. After a few iterations and resubmissions, the building plans were approved in early October. AMG is still working with The City Engineer and staff on finalizing all site work and off-site plans for utilities and stormwater handling. Dirt work on the project has begun. Staff met with the City Engineer to discuss issues with handling of stormwater for the property multiple times. A property boundary issue has surfaced with the lot to the north that will require examination. A phone conference was held with the developer and staff to discuss some issues regarding City requirements, then the CM met with the Construction superintendent multiple times in March to finalize City requirements. The design engineer has resubmitted plans for a contested water line and preliminary grading has begun. In late May, final approval of offsite plans was provided, fees were paid, and the grading permit was issued. Site work has ramped up over the past several weeks. Several issues with the underground work (primarily sewer and stormwater) have been addressed in the past few weeks and the progress continues. Visually, the project seems to be accelerating and they continue to work through staff on issues.

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 a subsequent City Council meeting and the project was approved. We will now await more definitive site plans and building design for review. Staff has received word that the proponent plans to submit plans in the next few weeks and hopes to be in construction by the Fall. The contractor met with staff in July to inform the City of upcoming submission and to discuss the potential timeline for approval to move forward with building permits. Plans have been submitted for review and the site is currently being cleared.

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.
