Recommended Council Action:

Proclaim January 9, 2026, as National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day.

Discussion:

National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day is a day of recognition that falls on January 9th each year. National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day provides an opportunity for community members to come together and show appreciation for their local law enforcement. It is a day in which citizens can take the time to show police officers that their work is appreciated and that they understand how difficult their job can be. National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day is a day to recognize the women and men that have dedicated their law enforcement careers to promoting safety in our communities.

Fiscal Impact:

Costs associated with the recognition of Hughson Police Services staff fall under the City’s approved budget for the City Employee Appreciation and Recognition Program.

Subject: Approval of Annual Report of AB1600 Fees for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2025
Enclosure: Fiscal Year 2024-25 AB 1600 Report, “Exhibit A” Presented By: Kim Weimer, Director of Finance & Administrative Services Approved By: ____________________________
City Manager
Recommended Council Action:

Adopt Resolution No. 2025-41, Approving the AB1600 Annual Report for the year ending June 30, 2025, and finding there remains a reasonable relationship between current needs for the City’s Development Impact Fees and the purposes for which they were originally charged.

Background and Overview:

In 1978, following the passage of Proposition 13, many cities began charging fees on new developments to fund public improvements and services such as streets, park facilities, sewers, water, and storm drains. These fees are commonly known as development impact fees. To ensure that these fees were spent in a timely manner and on projects for which they were being collected, the State Legislature passed a bill known as AB1600 (Mitigation Fee Act). This bill applies to developer fees that were increased or imposed on or after January 1, 1989. AB1600 enacts Sections 66000-66008 of the California Government Code, which generally contains four requirements:

1. A local jurisdiction must follow the process set forth in the bill and make certain determinations regarding the purpose and use of the fees and establish a “nexus” or connection between a development project or class of project and the public improvement.

2. The fee revenue must be segregated from the general fund to avoid commingling of public improvement fees and the general fund.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 3.5
SECTION 3: CONSENT CALENDAR
20 3. If a local jurisdiction has had possession of a developer fee for five or more years and has not committed that money to a project or spent that money, then it must make findings describing the continuing need for that money. In addition, an annual report must be made of fees collected, interest earned, projects on which fees were expended, and any transfers for loans from the fee account. This report is to be reviewed by the local agency assessing the fees.

4. If a local jurisdiction cannot make the findings required under paragraph three, the City must refund the fees collected.

Discussion:

The City of Hughson scheduled fees covered by AB1600, and documented in the attached report, include the following:
• Fund 220 – Sewer Capacity Fee
• Fund 250 – Water Capacity Fee
• Fund 370 – Community Enhancement Development Impact Fee • Fund 450 – Storm Drain Development Impact Fee
• Fund 451 – Public Facility Development Impact Fee
• Fund 452 – Public Facility Streets Development Impact Fee • Fund 453 – Park Development Impact Fee
• Fund 454 – Parkland In Lieu
City staff examined each of the funds for the capacity and impact fees listed above to determine if any development fees remain unexpended five years or more after receipt.

Based on the analysis, no refunds are due. Unexpended fund balances represent fees collected for respective Council approved projects which will be financed and implemented when financially feasible or practical.

Sewer Capacity Fees Fund 220
The sewer capacity fee is assessed to recover the costs of building the infrastructure necessary to extend sewer service to new development. Extended periods are necessary to achieve sufficient resources to finance the costs of Sewer Capital Improvement projects.

Accordingly, a need exists to continue the ongoing collection of this impact fee as well as the preservation of unspent balances for expected future project needs.

Water Capacity Fees Fund 250
The water capacity fee is assessed to recover the costs of building infrastructure necessary to extend water delivery service to new development. Extended periods are necessary to achieve sufficient resources to finance the costs of Water Capital Improvement projects.

Accordingly, a need exists to continue the ongoing collection of this impact fee as well as the preservation of unspent balances for expected future project needs.

Community Enhancement Fund-370
The community enhancement impact fee is designed to fund improvements to the City’s visual and aesthetic appeal. With this funding the City can provide new landscaping, signs, 21 statues, and other visible improvements that bring older areas of the City more in line with the newly developed sections. The Downtown Improvement Project will be funded by these fees. Extended periods are necessary to achieve sufficient resources to finance the costs of community enhancement projects. Accordingly, a need exists to continue the ongoing collection of this impact fee as well as the preservation of unspent balances for expected future project needs.

Storm Drain Fund 450
The storm drain impact fee is designed to recover the costs associated with the provision and expansion of storm drainage infrastructure. CIP project that will be funded using these fees are the trash capture systems needed to be in compliance with the State of California requirements. Extended periods are necessary to achieve sufficient resources to finance the costs of storm drainage infrastructure. Accordingly, a need exists to continue the ongoing collection of this impact fee as well as the preservation of unspent balances for expected future project needs.

Public Facility Development Fund 451
The public facilities impact fee is designed to recover the costs of providing general civil facilities such as City Hall, Corporation Yard, and community centers. Extended periods are necessary to achieve sufficient resources to finance the cost of facility development.

Accordingly, a need exists to continue the ongoing collection of this impact fee as well as the preservation of unspent balances for expected future project needs.

Public Facility Streets Development Impact Fee Fund 452 The public facility streets development impact fee is assessed to recover the costs of building infrastructure necessary to extend public roadways to new development. CIP projects that will be funded from this fee include the street surface improvement project, the Whitmore pedestrian crossing, and the Whitmore reconstruction. Extended periods are necessary to achieve sufficient resources to finance the costs of development projects.

Accordingly, a need exists to continue the ongoing collection of this impact fee as well as the preservation of unspent balances for expected future project needs.

Park Development Fund 453
The park development impact fee is assessed to recover the costs of providing parks for future residents. Future projects such as lighting park development can be funded from these fees. Extended periods are necessary to achieve sufficient resources to finance the cost of park development. Accordingly, a need exists to continue the ongoing collection of this impact fee as well as the preservation of unspent balances for expected future project needs.

Park In Lieu Fund 454
The Quimby Act allows the City to require that new developments set aside some amount of land (between three and five acres per 1000 people) for the purpose of providing parkland. In Lieu Impact Fees provide funds for the City to procure parkland. The City continues to explore opportunities to expand its park acreage to meet local needs as identified in community focus group sessions. Extended periods are necessary to achieve sufficient resources to finance the costs of parkland. Accordingly, a need exists to continue 22 the ongoing collection of this impact fee as well as the preservation of unspent balances for expected future project needs.

Summary:

To comply with AB1600, the City Council must make the findings that there is a reasonable relationship between the current need for the fees and the purposes for which they were charged. It is important these findings can be and are made to ensure continuance of funding resources for these important programs.

Although AB1600 requires fees collected from developers to be expended within five years, the law also allows exceptions. Exceptions are provided in recognition that some projects require an extended planning period. There can be several reasons for reasonable exceptions including project costs being of a magnitude necessitating a greater than fiveyear timeframe to accumulate sufficient funds or necessary matching funds not being available within the five-year timeframe. The City has referenced projects demonstrating there remains a nexus between current needs of unspent development impact fees and the purposes for which they were originally established.

Public Availability of this Report:

This report was posted on the City’s website on October 29, 2025 and available for public review at City Hall, at least 15 days prior to the Council meeting in accordance with AB 1600 requirements.

Fiscal Impact:

The beginning balance as of July 1, 2024, for the City of Hughson development impact fees totaled $6,464,340. The ending balance as of June 30, 2025, totals $8,858,243 for an increase of $2,393,902. The acceptance of this report, including the attached Resolution, has no direct fiscal or budgetary impact on the City of Hughson, provided the collected impact fees are retained.

On July 24, 2006, the Hughson City Council held a public hearing and adopted Resolution No. 06-114, a Resolution of the Hughson City Council accepting and adopting the Development Impact Fee Nexus Study prepared by the firm of Bartle Wells. The Resolution and the Nexus Study is available at: 1306 (cityofhughsonca.gov).

The Nexus Study, dated July 18, 2006, outlines the existing development impact fees, a brief description of the type of fee, growth projections, capital improvements, existing assets, a listing of insured capital assets, and each Impact Fee: Public Facilities, Storm Drainage, Sewer, Water, Street Improvement, Park Development, Park In-Lieu, and Community Enhancement Fees. In addition, on August 13, 2007, Resolution No. 07-198 updated the Wastewater Development Impact Fee The Nexus Study recommends that all fees be updated annually to account for changes in the cost of materials and labor, indexing them to changes in the Engineering News Record-Construction Cost Index (ENR-CCI) This index measures changes in the relative cost of building public infrastructure such as roads, sewers, and water systems. The ENR-CCI for the Bay Area as of June 2006 was 8440.73. To calculate the change, the ENR-CCI for the Bay Area each June should be used to adjust the fees by the percent change in the index from the previous June. Through the years, fees have not been adjusted by the ENR-CCI; however, in July 2023 the ENR-CCI is 15369.76, an increase of 82%.

Resolution 07-198 adopted a new Nexus Study for Wastewater Development Impact Fee, the study is available at: 1301 (cityofhughsonca.gov)

36 Meeting Date: December 8, 2025
Subject: Mayor Carr’s Attendance at the U.S. Conference of Mayors 94th Winter Meeting in Washington, DC. January 28-30, 2026, and Reimbursement of Costs Associated with Attending the Conference Presented By: Dominique Romo, City Manager
Approved By: ____________________________
City Manager
Recommended Council Action:

Consider approving Mayor Carr’s attendance at the U.S. Conference of Mayors 94th Winter Meeting in Washington, DC, scheduled for January 28–30, 2026, and authorize reimbursement of associated costs in accordance with the City’s Travel and Reimbursement Policy. (Continued from November 24, 2025, meeting)
Background and Overview:

This item was introduced at the November 24, 2025, Council meeting and continued to the subsequent meeting to allow additional discussion after multiple Councilmembers raised questions and Mayor Carr was not in attendance.

The United States Conference of Mayors (USCM) is a non-partisan organization representing cities across the country. While many member cities have populations of 30,000 or more, smaller cities are also represented.

Subject: Amending Municipal Code Chapter 15 Building and Construction Enclosure: Draft Ordinance
Presented By: Carla C. Jauregui, Community Development Director Approved By: ____________________________
City Manager
Recommended Council Action:

Introduce and waive the first reading of Ordinance No. 2025-02, amending Chapter 15 Building and Construction of the Hughson Municipal Code, and adopting by reference, the California Building Standards, 2025 Edition, Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, with amendments and other uniform codes.

Background & Overview:

The model codes update every three years to improve and adjust to the newest materials, methods of construction, and technological advances in the industry. The California Building Standards Commission adoption of the 2025 California Building Code (CBC) comes after a comprehensive multi-state agency and stakeholder update of the 2022 California Building Code.

The objective is to produce a practical building code that ensures public safety first and foremost, while implementing the most efficient technology available to conserve the State’s natural resources and energy use. California’s Building Code applies to every commercial and residential structure in the State.

The new 2025 CBC contains thirteen parts that incorporate public health, life safety, and general welfare standards used in the design and construction of buildings in California.

These parts incorporate the latest national standards in the International Building, Residential and Fire Codes, California Green Building Code, California Energy Code, National Electrical Code and the Uniform Mechanical and Plumbing Codes.

Health and Safety Code Section 18941.5 mandates that the Building Standards contained in the 2025 CBC shall be effective 180 days after publication by the California Building Standards Commission. If these codes are not adopted by Ordinance, they become CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.1
SECTION 5: PUBLIC HEARING
40 effective by default without any amendments. The proposed effective date for the City of Hughson will be January 1, 2026. As part of the adoption process this department has made every effort to notify all the parties affected of the proposed changes.

Discussion:

Along with the usual Energy and Green code updates, below are a few noteworthy updates:
• New Part 7 stand-alone code book for Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI), was Chapter 7A in the CBC.
• The Energy and Green codes continue to expand Electric Vehicle Charging requirements to install EV charging infrastructure including receptacles and chargers to new multifamily dwellings, single family homes, hotels, and motels. • Electric-Ready Buildings:

The code encourages electric-ready buildings to facilitate future adoption of cleaner electric technologies for cooking and water heating.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the approval of this item. 41

CITY COUNCIL
ORDINANCE NO. 2025 - 02
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUGHSON AMENDING CHAPTER 15 –

BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE HUGHSON MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE

BUILDING AND HOUSING CODES
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUGHSON MAKES THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS:

WHEREAS, California Health & Safety Code Section 18938 provides that the building standards contained in the California Building Code, 2025 Edition, and incorporates, by adoption, the 2024 Edition of the International Building Code of the International Code Council with the California amendments, shall apply to all occupancies throughout the state and shall become effective 180 days after publication in the California Buildings Standards Code by the California Building Standards Commission; and
WHEREAS, after due consideration, the City Council of the City of Hughson hereby finds that it desires to adopt the most recent version of the California Building Code as the City’s Building Code, with certain amendments to provide further safety protections to the citizens of the City of Hughson; and
WHEREAS, California Health & Safety Code Section 18941.5 provides that if a city makes an express finding that building standards that are more restrictive than those standards provided in the international codes are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions, a city may establish more restrictive building standards; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Hughson hereby finds the amendments to the “California Building Code, 2025 Edition,” are reasonably necessary to provide sufficient and effective protection of life, health, and property in consideration of the local climatic, geologic and topographic conditions as stated below; and
A. During winter months, the San Joaquin Valley experiences thick fog, heavy rains and extreme wind conditions that in past experience has caused structural damage within the City.

B. Stanislaus County is located within an area with potential seismic activity. The proposed amendments will increase the ability of the structural components to sustain their functionality.

C. The City of Hughson to a great extent lies on a level plain, as a result, heavy rains have historically threatened flooding throughout the city, which can cause delays for emergency response, or in some situations, make it impossible for responders to get to certain areas of the City.

Flooding is both a climatic and topographic problem.
42

D. The City of Hughson is located in an area subject to a climatic condition of high winds.

This environment is conducive to rapidly spreading fires; control of such fires requires rapid response. Obstacles generated by a strong wind, such as fallen trees, streetlights and utility poles, may greatly impact the response time to reach an incident scene; and THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUGHSON DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1: That Chapter 15, Building and Construction of the City of Hughson Municipal Code be amended as stated in Attachment “A”, attached hereto, and made a part hereof by this reference.

Section 2: Necessity: The amendment is reasonably necessary because of the following local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions: the City of Hughson is within a seismic area, local soil conditions can be expansive, the City of Hughson can have hard water which is corrosive to ferrous and non-ferrous metals;
Section 3: Purpose and Authority: The purpose of this Ordinance is to adopt by reference the 2025 edition of the California Building Standards Code, Title 24, Parts 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, & 12 of the California Code of Regulations, subject to the definitions, clarifications, and the amendments set forth in this Ordinance. The purpose of this Ordinance is also to provide minimum requirements and standards for the protection of the public safety, health, property and welfare of the City of Hughson. This Ordinance is adopted under the authority of Government Code Subsection 50022.2 and Health and Safety Code Section 18941.5.

Section 4: Effective Date and Publication
This Ordinance shall take effect 30 days after its adoption, published in summary format prior to adoption and within fifteen (15) days after its adoption in a newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the City of Hughson.

Subject: Approval of the City of Hughson Recreation Fee Schedule Enclosure: Proposed City of Hughson Recreation Fees
Presented By: Ashton Gose, City Clerk
Approved By: __________________________
City Manager
Recommended Council Action:

Adopt Resolution No. 2025-42, Approving the City of Hughson Recreation Fee Schedule.

Background:

The Hughson City Council adopted Strategic Priorities on May 22, 2023. Out of the five adopted Priorities, Infrastructure and Promoting Quality of Life, included an emphasis on park infrastructure and developing recreational programs.

Over the past two years, the Parks and Recreation Department has been able to provide numerous free community events. However, parks and recreation are more than just events. Recreation is essential to community life, playing a critical role in promoting public health, building stronger communities, boosting local economies, providing educational and enrichment programs, and enhancing environmental sustainability. The current vision for the Parks and Recreation Department includes Adult Recreation Leagues and other programs/classes for all ages.

To support these priorities, staff request approval of a Recreation Fee Schedule to establish fees for new programs and leagues.

Discussion:

The proposed fee schedule only includes one program, however, as the Department grows and builds new programs and classes, this fee schedule will come back for Council approval with amendments and added fees.

The proposed fees are designed to meet the demand of hosting an Adult Recreation Coed Softball League, which will be the first recreation program the Parks and Recreation CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.1
SECTION 6: NEW BUSINESS
68 Department trials in February 2026 (referred to as “Spring season”). Ultimately, the approval of the fee schedule will encourage residents and/or businesses to participate in the City’s league.

Breakdown of the Fees
Staff have researched and communicated with many other Cities in our area regarding their Recreation Leagues. The consensus for adult softball team registration fees is $475.00- $550.00, with the cheaper registration fees coming from larger cities which can accommodate a higher number of team registration per season.

For the Spring season, a total of six teams will be able to register, giving our staff the opportunity to learn and establish a long-lasting program for our community.

Each team will pay a $550.00 registration fee, totaling $3,300.00 received for the Spring league. This revenue will cover costs for fencing, field preparation, umpires, and 1st and 2nd place trophies for the league play-offs. A one-time $8.00 per player administrative fee will also be charged to cover the administrative costs associated with registration, and on-going bracket maintenance. Teams can have a minimum of 12 players, and maximum of 20 players.

Community Outreach
Staff created a survey, which included potential fees and a schedule for a league that was posted on the City’s social media outlets (Facebook and Instagram). Since posting the survey mid-November, four established teams have already expressed interest in joining the league.

If approved, staff will immediately begin to advertise for the Spring League and collect the fees.

Fiscal Impact:

With the approval of a Recreation Fee Schedule, a new revenue and expense account will need to be created for the Parks and Recreation Department. Staff anticipate receiving at least $3,876.00 in revenue for the Spring League, which will be the budgeted expense amount for the league as well.
