Staff Memorandum
DATE ISSUED: December 17, 2025
FROM: Chandler Sinclair, Finance Supervisor
SUBJECT: Consideration of City Hall Closure on December 26, 2025 Issue:

This memorandum is submitted for Council consideration regarding whether to designate December 26, 2025, as a one-time paid City holiday. In 2025, December 25 falls on a Thursday, making December 26 a Friday. This creates a unique, periodic calendar circumstance in which City operations are likely to experience reduced service demand while many employees will request leave. The purpose of this memorandum is to outline the operational, fiscal, and workforce considerations associated with recognizing December 26, 2025, as a paid holiday for City employees.

Discussion:
- Operational and Workforce Considerations
Offering December 26, 2025, as a paid holiday may contribute to reduced leave requests, improved scheduling efficiency, increased employee satisfaction. Historically, service demand on the day following Christmas is low across most municipal functions, which limits the operational impact of a closure or reduced staffing model. From a cost perspective, the estimated expense of one paid holiday is $4,523.44 based on current staffing and salary obligations. This amount is modest when compared to the costs associated with employee turnover, recruitment, and training.
- Employee Leave Usage and Family Obligations
If December 26, 2025, is not designated as a holiday, employees would need to use accrued vacation or unpaid leave to be absent that day. Accrued leave is often preserved by employees for unplanned needs. Designating the day as a paid holiday would reduce the need for widespread leave requests and provide employees with greater flexibility in managing personal and family responsibilities without depleting accrued balances. - Comparison with other Public Agencies
Staff is aware of at least one area municipality that lists December 26, as a paid holiday annually. While many public agencies do not recognize December 26 as a paid holiday, this is largely due to alignment with federal holiday calendar rather than an operational assessment of the day itself. There is no statewide requirement governing recognition of the day after Christmas, and individual agencies retain discretion to adopt additional holidays when operational and fiscal conditions allow.

- Fire & Plant Operations
As with other holidays, continued operations will need to be maintained at both the Water and Wastewater Plants, as well as the Fire Department will still be staffed. The result will be that the employees that work those days, and are eligible, will be paid overtime, as with any such holiday. The total for that overtime is likely to be in the neighborhood of $70 for Water and Sewer, and approximately $400 for Fire.

Fiscal Impact and Accountability:

As part of routine fiscal oversight, the cost of a one-time holiday has been reviewed in relation to current budgeted salaries, staffing levels, and projected year-end balances. As previously mentioned, the estimated cost of recognizing December 26, 2025, as a paid holiday is $4,523.44 based on current staffing and salary obligations. The City can comfortably absorb this cost without impacting ongoing financial commitments or service delivery.

Conclusion:

Designating December 26, 2025, as a paid holiday is an operationally feasible and fiscally manageable option for the City. The cost is limited, the service impact is minimal, and the action does not create an ongoing obligation. Council may wish to consider this option as part of its broader approach to workforce management, employee leave usage, and operational efficiency.

Finance Supervisor Recommendation:

The Finance Supervisor joins multiple other employees in humbly requesting consideration of this benefit from the Council.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 25-37 Adopting a Revised 2025-26 Salary Schedule ISSUE: calling for an election to be conducted by the
Shall the City Council approve Resolution No. 25-37 Adopting a Revised 2025-26 Salary Schedule? DISCUSSION:

Although the City's Salary Schedule that was formally adopted per standard practice for the current fiscal year, a proposed January 1 change in the California Minimum Wage requirements has become official, necessitating a revision for certain Ranges and Steps.

The salary schedule has not been changed significantly for this adoption, although listed below are some changes of which you should be aware:

1. The "Public Works Supervisor" and "Fire Chief" positions have been adjusted upward to force Step F to increase to reflect the change for Salaried Exempt employees with respect to the recent change to the California Minimum Wage Law that will take effect on January 1, 2026.

2. Due to recent personnel changes, the position of "WTP/WWTP Supervisor" has been adjusted to Range 54 to allign with correllary the positions of "Public Works Supervisor and "Fire Chief"

3. In keeping with the Memoranda of Understanding negotiated recently with Classified personnel, all positions at the lower end of the Schedule (Range 17 and below) have been adjusted upward at Step A to reflect the minimum wage change. Steps B through F remain unchanged.

This only affects 2 employees.

4. As there is no updated Memoranda of Understanding negotiated with the Fire personnel and the new Minimum Wage exceeds all current pay rates, the new CMW will be utilized for all Fire personnel until a new MOU is adopted.

5. All part time employees will be adjusted upward to reflect the minimum wage change.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The primary impact is in Fire, wherein most full and all part-time employee hours will include $.40 additional hourly compensation. Compensation splits spread the rest of the increases over the General, Water, and Sewer Funds.

CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt the Salary Schedule as presented.

City of Holtville

REPORT TO COUNCIL
DATE ISSUED: December 18, 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 design. Due to an increase in the size of the project over that which was called out in the RFP, the architect approached the City about augmented funding, which was approved by Council. More solid delineation of cost estimates for the phasing of the project were presented in August, 2024, and presented to Council for consideration.

A status update meeting with Mr. Medina, Chief Silva, and the CM was held via Zoom in late January, 2025, wherein Medina estimated submission of plans for first plan check to be middle to late February. Chief Silva continued to meet virtually with the architect and subconsultants on various issues over the spring months.

The full set of drawings were finally submitted to the plan check firm in late April. This process was expected to be iterative with the architect, with multiple redlines and resubmissions, with staff expecting the entire process to be less than 60 days. However, the architect was once again very slow to turn the documents back around to the plan checkers, subsequently saying that he was “waiting on” some information from the City to move forward. That was then sent to him. Chief Silva spoke with Mr. Medina in early November and although he continues to want to hold the project up for minor issue like landscaping and color schemes, he has resubmitted the process for a second plan review.

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 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. City officials hosted both Congressman Ruiz and Assemblyman Jeff Gonzalez at the Veteran’s Day Parade. We took the opportunity to escort both to the site of the upcoming construction to provide a visualization of the building concept.

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, 2025, with the CrisCom Company to represent the City in pursuing funding. The CM is working with CrisCom on the upcoming budget “asks” for all of our elected representatives.

2 City Council/CM Reports (12-22’25)
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 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. Classified employees accepted a final Council offer and an agreement was finalized. Action still must be taken with respect to Fire employees.

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 and a new funding source led to construction work being pushed back.

IID subsequently 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 about $100k.

Nevertheless, an agreement was approved with IID to administer the funding in October. Construction finally took place in December, 2024.

The CM met with IID in early March to discuss their billing for the work done on the project and what amount would be left for the City to recoup for our expenditures. IID came in well under their construction estimate, leaving room for the City to recoup the bulk of its cash outlay for the project. Billing from IID was finally provided in July.

The City was awarded funding through ICTC for constructing curb, gutter and sidewalk, along with the minor pavement necessary to widen the roadway, early in the process. LC Engineering was awarded the contract for design in February, 2024. The delays with the undergrounding project necessitated a time extension for the sidewalk project. Various timeline changes continued to impact funding. Clearance to proceed from Caltrans was not issued until late July, and the project was advertised in August. Pyramid was awarded the construction contract and The Holt Group the RE/CM function. Construction began on Wednesday, 11/12, a few days ahead of schedule. Unfortunately, multiple rain events halted construction almost immediately and delayed further activity until after Thanksgiving. Pyramid resumed activity and still expects to be done by the shortly after the first of the year.

Through efforts of The Holt Group, the remaining amount of over $134,000 from the undergrounding project Congressional is being transferred to the street/sidewalk project. The CM has been working along with the contractor and The Holt Group to add scope to the project in order to utilize the additional funds. Various alternatives are being discussed and a course of action is currently under review with Caltrans. 3 City Council/CM Reports (12-22’25)
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 was approved in September. Staff met with the City Engineer on some issues for this project in late October.
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. Word was received in late October that these recommendations were forwarded to the SCAG Transportation Committee. Having passed through that body, they were pushed on to the General Assembly for final determination and were approved for funding in early December.

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. Discussion will continue on subsequent agendas.

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. Kleinfelder, Inc., was selected for Design services in April, 2024. 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, which included construction estimates. 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 worked to procure the final environmental and cultural clearances so that the project can go to bid. The project was advertised for bid in midDecember and a pre-bid conference is scheduled for next week.

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. 4 City Council/CM Reports (12-22’25)
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 was held in late October with River Partners and IID to discuss issues. The meeting mainly centered on foliage issues, but next steps were discussed and a side discussion with IID regarding upkeep of the Wetlands was fruitful.

SitelogiQ Energy Savings Project – this project was proposed to add mandated energy efficiency modifications to City facilities and has been examined for the past several months. In order to take advantage of expiring federal incentives, the project was somewhat fast tracked and approved by Council in October.

Financing was secured in late November/early December. A project kickoff meeting was held theis morning with SitelogiQ representatives and City staff.

BUILDING DEPT - The City has issued 113 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-andplanning/building-department/ 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, however, the most recent conversation he intimated that he is once again working with a builder to construct the project himself. Stay tuned. The CM spoke with Mr. Hawk again today at length about this and various other issues. He stated that he was planning to come in to meet regarding proposed footprints.
5 City Council/CM Reports (12-22’25)
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.

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 now substantially complete they are in the process of obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy.

The owners of the project approached staff with a request for the City to join the California Municipal Finance Authority (CMFA), which would open up the opportunity for them to secure additional financing for the project. Staff examined the options and there does not seem to be much in the way of a negative impact to the City, so action is on the current agenda to establish membership.

AMG Pine Crossing Apartments (± 64) – This is a proposed mirror image project across from Fern Crossing complex. Building plans were approved in early October, 2024, and site work began shortly thereafter. Several issues with the underground work (primarily sewer and stormwater) were addressed in the Spring of 2025. Visually, the project is taking shape and they continue to work through staff on issues.

A recent issue with the design of their sewer conveyance to the City system arose. They are currently working with the City Engineer to rectify an elevation miscalculation from their design staff and a meeting is scheduled for early next week to discuss options.

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. 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. The first plan check produced several points that Duggins is currently working to correct, then resubmit.

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.

City of Holtville

REPORT TO COUNCIL
DATE ISSUED: December 15, 2025
FROM: Chandler Sinclair, Finance Supervisor
SUBJECT: Finance Department Update
INFORMATION ONLY – NO ACTION REQUIRED AT THIS TIME
The following report is provided for informational purposes to give the City Council and the public an overview of the current property tax conditions, assessed value trends, and recent market activity affecting the City of Holtville. The attached property tax newsletters and valuation summaries, prepared by the City’s tax consultant, present data on assessed value changes, sales activity, use-category shifts, and revenue impacts for the 2025/2026 tax year. These materials are intended to support understanding of underlying assessment trends and broader market influences as part of ongoing fiscal planning and public transparency.

The attached exhibits are designed to be read as a high-level summary rather than an analysis of individual properties. Charts and tales highlight year-over-year assessed value changes, the primary causes of those changes (such as ownership transfers, new construction, and Proposition 13 adjustments), and their relationship to property tax revenue. Percentages and dollar amounts reflect assessed value activity reported on the County tax roll and are intended to illustrate trends over time.

at 525 East 5th Street. There was a value
decline of $778,677 due to improvements and
personal property.

Unsecured values make up 24.7% of all values
in the City. Unsecured values declined by $12.5
million (-13.4%). The largest change in value
was from a $12.7 million value decline of an
assessment owned by Holtville Battery Energy
Storage System (BESS) LLC. There were a total
of 3 new and 5 dropped assessments that
decreased the roll value by 1.28 million. A total
of 77 changed assessments decreased $11.17
million.

REAL ESTATE TREND
Through June 2025, about one-third of the 43
counties where we purchase sales data are still
experiencing declines in median sale prices. In
many areas, however, home sales rebounded
in June ending three months of median price
declines. The mostly modest year-over-year
median sales price changes for June 2025
showed the State’s Far North area having the
strongest price growth at 13.7%; the Central
Coast grew by 11.4%; Southern California grew
by 1.9%; and, the San Francisco Bay area grew
by 1.0%. The Central Valley area posted a
median sales price decline, slipping down by

0.8 %. The median sale price of Holtville
detached single-family homes from January
through October 2025 was $322,500, an
increase of $19,000 (6.3%) from 2024's median
price.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
DATE ISSUED: December, 2025
FROM: Alex Silva, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: Monthly Report for November 2025
THIS IS INFORMATION PROVIDED TO THE CITY COUNCIL. NO ACTION IS REQUIRED OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

As we prepared for the upcoming holidays, we had our annual Fill A Boot drive. This year our numbers were lower than in previous years. The HFD volunteers raised 1900 dollars.

We did a shoe store at the mall , work with us and provided great deals. We were able to purchase 64 pairs of shoes. The shoes were distributed to Finley, Pine and Middle School.

We received our ISO rating. As expected, we remained an ISO of 4, for our city size, fire department demographics, it's a great identification. I am extremely pleased with our rating.

We are still working with the new web-based reporting system working out the bugs, so my report is a little lighter than usual.

The following is the monthly report for November:
