Subject/Discussion:
In FY 2024/2025 PFMD Zones 11 and 12 were annexed into the City. Public Facilities Maintenance District (PFMD) provides landscaping, irrigation system upkeep, utility services, and long-term rehabilitation for subdivision-specific public improvements. The Engineer’s Annual Report for FY 2025–2026 details the annual operating costs, rehabilitation contributions, and incidental administrative expenses required for PFMD Zones 11 and 12, along with the general benefit deductions funded by the City.
The costs for the two new zones were not available for input through the annual budget preparation process for FY 2025/2026. The attached budget amendment is required to receive assessment funds and expense appropriations for the current fiscal year. 8 “In God We Trust”
Financial Consideration(s):
PFMD Zones 11 and 12 are self-funded assessment districts. Their expenses are fully offset by assessment revenues. No General Fund impact occurs, aside from the Cityfunded general benefit allocations already included in the Engineer’s Report.

Item No: 4-4
To: Lemoore City Council
From Jamar Hugie, Management Analyst, Public Works
Date: February 23, 2026 Meeting Date: March 3, 2026
Subject: On-Call Asphalt Patching Services Contract
Strategic Initiative:
☐ Safe & Vibrant Community ☐ Growing & Dynamic Economy
☒ Fiscally Sound Government ☒ Operational Excellence
☐ Community & Neighborhood Livability ☐ Not Applicable
Proposed Motion:
Move to approve the On-Call Asphalt Patching Services contract with Dawson-Mauldin, LLC, and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.
Subject/Discussion:
The Public Works Department requests approval to award the On-Call Asphalt Patching Services contract to Dawson-Mauldin, LLC, the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, based on the City’s competitive procurement and subsequent cost-effectiveness analysis. This contract provides essential operational support for roadway maintenance, enabling staff to respond promptly to potholes, pavement failures, utility cuts, and safetyrelated deficiencies.
A bid tabulation was completed to compare all contractor unit prices for Collector, Arterial, and Residential street classifications. Dawson-Mauldin submitted the lowest total base bid, positioning them as the most cost-effective contractor for routine patching activities.
To validate cost stability across varying operational conditions, staff conducted a simulation analysis using the contractor’s bid unit prices. The results showed that Dawson-Mauldin was the lowest-cost provider in 93% of modeled scenarios, confirming strong pricing consistency across realistic work mixes and square-footage ranges.
To further analyze expected expenditures for typical assignments, staff ran an additional simulation using a fixed 2,000 square-foot patching dispatch, which aligns with the City’s 16 “In God We Trust”
routine work order size. The simulation produced an average cost of approximately $58,900 per 2,000-SF dispatch. Based on this analysis, the staff recommends establishing a Not-to-Exceed (NTE) budget equal to twice the average cost to ensure adequate capacity for multiple dispatches during the fiscal year. This results in an NTE of $118,000, ensuring the City can maintain operational readiness and respond to pavement needs without delay.
Awarding this contract and setting the NTE budget supports the City’s Strategic Initiatives for Operational Excellence and Fiscally Sound Government by ensuring timely pavement repairs, predictable expenditures, and effective use of maintenance resources. The contract will also help reduce the backlog, enhance public safety, and extend the service life of the City’s roadway network.
Financial Consideration(s):
Based on staff’s cost modeling and simulation analysis—using Dawson-Mauldin, LLC’s competitively bid unit pricing—the average total cost for a standard 2,000 square-foot asphalt patch is approximately $58,900.
To ensure adequate coverage for routine and unplanned pavement repair needs throughout the fiscal year, staff recommend establishing a not-to-exceed budget of two times the average cost, or $118,000. This amount provides sufficient capacity for multiple dispatches and accounts for variations in street type, material quantities, and operational conditions.
Actual expenditure will be incurred only as work is authorized and completed. All charges will be tracked against the approved budget, and total spending will not exceed the limit without future Council authorization.
Alternatives or Pros/Cons:
• Lowest Responsible Bidder: Dawson Mauldin, LLC submitted the lowest base bid in the competitive process, ensuring cost-efficient delivery of pavement maintenance services.
• Strong Cost Predictability: Simulation modeling demonstrates that Dawson-Mauldin is the lowest-cost provider in 93% of modeled scenarios, reflecting stable pricing across variable patch sizes and street classifications. • Reliable Budgeting: A follow-up simulation using a fixed 2,000 SF dispatch—the City’s typical request size—produced an average cost of $58,900, allowing staff to establish a reliable NTE of $118,000 (two dispatches).
• Enhanced Operational Readiness: The on-call contract allows Public Works to respond quickly to road hazards, utility cuts, and pavement failures without delay, reducing risks to the traveling public and mitigating further roadway deterioration. • Supports Strategic Initiatives: Improves service delivery efficiency (Operational Excellence) and optimizes the use of available maintenance funding (Fiscally Sound Government).
• Reduces Workload Backlogs: Contractor support supplements internal crews, enabling timely completion of maintenance tasks and improving customer service response times.

Approve the award of the On-Call Asphalt Patching Services contract to Dawson-Mauldin, LLC, authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement, and establish a Not-to-Exceed (NTE) budget of $118,000.

Item No: 4-5
To: Lemoore City Council
From Jamar Hugie, Management Analyst, Public Works
Date: February 23, 2026 Meeting Date: March 3, 2026
Subject: QK Contract for 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and Required Compliance Updates
Strategic Initiative:
☐ Safe & Vibrant Community ☐ Growing & Dynamic Economy
☒ Fiscally Sound Government ☒ Operational Excellence
☐ Community & Neighborhood Livability ☐ Not Applicable
Proposed Motion:
Authorize the City Manager to execute the Work Authorization and Task Order with QK for $67,100 for preparation of the City’s 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and associated compliance updates.
Subject/Discussion:
Urban Water Management Plans are required under the Urban Water Management Planning Act (Water Code §§10610–10656). DWR’s January 7, 2026, Advisory Letter identified deficiencies in the City’s 2020 UWMP and directed the City to submit an amended plan within 150 days to avoid a formal ‘Requirements Not Addressed’ determination. Cited deficiencies include a missing Drought Risk Assessment (CWC §10635(b)), incomplete SB X7-7 compliance data, missing Groundwater Sustainability Plan documentation, and incomplete distribution-system-loss water-loss reporting.
To respond, staff recommends engaging QK under its February 5, 2026 proposal to prepare the 2025 UWMP in accordance with the 2025 DWR Guidebook, including required research, calculations, draft and final plan preparation, coordination with the South Fork Kings GSA, public noticing, facilitation of the public hearing, and assistance with final submittals to DWR, the California State Library, and Kings County. QK’s proposal includes a 120-day schedule from Notice to Proceed and a fixed fee of $67,100, including reproduction/mailing/travel costs. A non-compliant UWMP can disqualify 26 “In God We Trust”
agencies from water-related State grants and loans, including programs administered by DWR, the State Water Board, and other agencies.
Financial Consideration(s):
Sufficient funds are available in the FY 2026 Professional Contract Services budget within Public Works (Water).
Alternatives or Pros/Cons:
• Addresses DWR Deficiencies & Restores Compliance: Engaging QK to complete the 2025 UWMP directly addresses items flagged in the Advisory Letter (e.g., Drought Risk Assessment, SB X7-7 forms, GSP documentation, and water loss reporting), avoiding a “Requirements Not Addressed” status. • Protects Funding Eligibility: Maintaining a compliant UWMP helps preserve eligibility for State water grants and loans, as emphasized by DWR. • Comprehensive Scope & Deliverables: QK’s scope covers data, calculations, draft/final plan preparation, GSA coordination, public notices, hearing facilitation, and final submittals (DWR/State Library/County), supporting a complete, compliant package.
• Predictable Cost & Timeline: A fixed fee of $67,100 and a 120-day schedule from Notice to Proceed provides clear budgetary control and a path to meet the July 1, 2026, DWR deadline.
Commission/Board Recommendation:
N/A
Staff Recommendation:
Approve the Work Authorization with QK to prepare the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan for $67,100 to ensure timely compliance with state requirements.

Quad Knopf Proposal
Department of Water Resources – Advisory Letter
27 February 5, 2026
Estevan Benavides
Public Works Director
City of Lemoore
711 W. Cinnamon Drive
Lemoore, CA 93245
Subject: City of Lemoore – 2025 Urban Water Management Plan Dear Mr. Benavides:
QK is pleased to present this proposal for the preparation of the City of Lemoore’s (City) 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP). This proposal contains our project understanding, approach/scope of services, schedule, and fee estimate.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) requires urban water suppliers that provide 3,000 acre-feet or more of water annually, or have more than 3,000 service connections, to prepare and submit a UWMP, in accordance with California Water Code (CWC) Sections 10610–10656. The City meets these criteria and has previously submitted its 2020 UWMP, consistent with the statutory requirement for updates every five years (e.g., 2020, 2025, 2030).
QK will coordinate with the City and prepare the 2025 UWMP on the City’s behalf. QK will utilize and reference the 2025 Urban Water Management Plans Guidebook for Retail Water Suppliers, prepared by the DWR, to verify that all plan elements, reporting tables, and documentation comply with the latest regulatory guidance and submittal requirements. The 2025 UWMP must be completed and submitted to the DWR by July 1, 2026.
APPROACH/SCOPE OF SERVICES
The project approach and scope are based on the above project understanding. The proposed services include project management, leading and facilitating regular project meetings, performing research and calculations for each section of the UWMP as needed, working closely with the City and other agencies to develop the UWMP, preparing the UWMP document and its appendices, and preparing for as well as attending the required public hearing.
TASK 1.0 KICKOFF MEETING AND MONTHLY PROGRESS MEETINGS
QK will schedule a kickoff meeting with the City to review the 2025 UWMP requirements and proposed preparation schedule. The meeting will include a review of the 2020 UWMP and the questions and information requests received during its preparation, some of which were intended for inclusion with the 2025 UWMP, including those from the South Fork Kings Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) and other agencies. The meeting will also include a discussion as to the extent of coordination the City desires to have with the GSA during preparation of the 2025 UWMP.
The anticipated schedule for completing the 2025 UWMP will be reviewed in detail. The schedule review, combined with a discussion of the City’s objectives and expectations, will provide an opportunity to identify and address any additional UWMP-related considerations early in the process. After the meeting, QK will prepare and distribute the meeting minutes and action items to all attendees.
28 City of Lemoore Page 2 of 5
February 5, 2026
In addition to the kickoff meeting, QK will participate in monthly progress meetings with the City throughout the preparation of the 2025 UWMP. These meetings are intended to facilitate ongoing communication, review interim work, address emerging questions, and verify alignment with the City’s objectives and schedule. QK will provide for up to five monthly progress meetings. QK will prepare an agenda for each meeting, participate in the discussions, and prepare as well as distribute the meeting minutes and action items to all attendees.
Deliverables:
• Kickoff meeting minutes in PDF format
• Monthly progress meeting minutes in PDF format
TASK 2.0 RESEARCH AND CALCULATIONS
QK will research, collect, and/or calculate all required data as the basis of the UWMP, in compliance with the DWR’s guidelines and methodology. Per the guidelines, it is anticipated that this data will include the following:
• Climate information (average evapotranspiration, precipitation, and temperature within the City’s boundaries, using the California Irrigation Management Information System (CIMIS) station information). • Actual and projected population estimates.
• Actual and projected retail uses of potable and raw water. • Wholesale demands (if any) of potable and raw water.
• Actual and projected other uses of potable and raw water. • Losses from potable and raw water systems.
• Total water use.
• Passive savings (savings from codes, ordinances, or transportation and land use plans, if applicable). • Projected water use for lower-income households.
• Gallons per capita per day (GPCD) for the average annual 10- or 15-year baseline and five-year baseline. • GPCD 2025 target.
• Purchased water (if any).
• Groundwater volume pumped.
• Base water supply availability for an average year, single-dry year, and multiple dry years (first, second, and third years).
• Supply and demand comparison for an average year, single-dry year, and multiple dry years. • Water supply conservation calculations.
• Consumption reduction calculations.
• Energy usage for various processes of water supply management, as readily available.
TASK 3.0 URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN PREPARATION
QK will prepare a draft UWMP based on the research and calculations developed in Task 2.0 for the City’s review and comment. The draft UWMP will include all chapters outlined in the DWR’s 2025 Draft Urban Water Management Plan Guidebook (guidebook) and will be organized similarly to the City’s 2020 UWMP. The UWMP will incorporate the required tables and discussions identified in the guidebook. A Table of Contents indicating the UWMP sections/chapters per the DWR’s guidebook is attached to this proposal, for reference. Per the DWR’s guidelines, the UWMP will include, but not necessarily be limited to:
• Providing an overview and lay description (Chapter 1). • Providing information on their process for developing the UWMP, including efforts in coordination and outreach (Chapter 2).
• Providing a general description of the City’s service area, including the service area’s climate, population, and demographics (Chapter 3).
29 City of Lemoore Page 3 of 5
February 5, 2026
• Discussing and characterizing the City’s current water use by sector (single-family residential, multi-family, commercial, etc.), non-potable versus potable water use, system water losses, water savings, and water use for lower income households (Chapter 4).
• Defining the average annual 10- to 15-year baseline, as well as the five-year baseline for water use using GPCD calculations (Chapter 5).
• Describing and quantifying the sources of water available to the supplier during a normal year, including purchased water, groundwater, surface water, stormwater, wastewater, or recycled water, exchanges or transfers, future water projects, if applicable, and an analysis of these sources (Chapter 6). • Discussing the reliability of the water supply for single dry and multiple dry years, including sources that are only used in the event of a water shortage, and the water quality of the supply through at least a 20-year timeline (Chapter 7).
• Presenting the water shortage contingency plan, including stages of action, prohibitions and consumption reduction methods, revenue and expenditure impacts, and response to catastrophic supply interruptions (Chapter 8).
• Discussing conservation programs that have been implemented, are currently being implemented, and are planned to be implemented (Chapter 9).
• Presenting information on requirements for a public hearing, adoption of the UWMP, and the submittal process once the UWMP is adopted (Chapter 10).
QK has included 18 staff hours for meetings and coordination with the GSA and other agencies, as required, during the development of the UWMP. Should it be determined that more coordination is necessary than originally anticipated, QK will immediately notify the City to discuss potential solutions.
Groundwater management described in the UWMP should align with the applicable Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) developed by the GSA. Upon the receipt of comments from the City, QK will revise the draft UWMP accordingly and provide the final UWMP for the City’s use.
Deliverables:
• Draft 2025 UWMP in PDF format
• Final 2025 UWMP in PDF format

RE: Urban Water Management Plan Requirements Not Addressed – ADVISORY Dear Mr. Saenz,
The Department of Water Resources (DWR) has completed its review of the 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) for the City of Lemoore, submitted on June 12, 2025. DWR’s review of UWMPs is limited to assessing whether suppliers have provided the required content. In its review, DWR does not evaluate or analyze the supplier’s UWMP data, projections, or water management strategies. After completing its review, DWR has determined that the submitted UWMP does not address all code requirements.
The City of Lemoore has 150 calendar days from the date of this letter to submit an amended UWMP. The City of Lemoore may request additional time to submit an amended UWMP. If the City of Lemoore does not amend its UWMP to address the required elements within the provided time frame, a “Requirements Not Addressed” letter will be issued by DWR, and the City of Lemoore’s status will be registered as not having addressed requirements.
As background, the California Water Code (CWC) directs DWR to report to the Legislature once every five years on the status of submitted UWMPs. The status determined in review will be available for public viewing. Eligibility for state water grants and loans generally requires that an agency’s UWMP has addressed all requirements of the CWC.
Please note that the amended UWMP must be adopted by the City of Lemoore’s governing board following the public process specified in the Urban Water Management Planning Act.
UWMP Requirements Not Addressed:
DWR has determined that the following required element(s) has not been addressed in accordance with the CWC:
• Drought Risk Assessment.
A drought risk assessment, as required by CWC Section 10635(b) below, was not included in the UWMP. To address the code Docusign Envelope ID: C17FAD24-65C9-4A13-8D21-9DD0E4258501 38 requirements in CWC Sections 10635(b)(1), (2), and (4), provide the required content in your amended UWMP document as
narrative. To address CWC Section 10635(b)(3), complete Table 7- 5 in the WUEdata Portal and include it in the amended UWMP document to be resubmitted to the WUEdata Portal.
CWC 10635
(b) Every urban water supplier shall include, as part of its urban water management plan, a drought risk assessment for its water service to its customers as part of information considered in developing the demand management measures and water supply projects and programs to be included in the urban water management plan…The drought risk assessment shall include each of the following:
(1) A description of the data, methodology, and basis for one or more supply shortage conditions that are necessary to conduct a drought risk assessment for a drought period that lasts five consecutive water years, starting from the year following when the assessment is conducted.
(2) A determination of the reliability of each source of supply under a variety of water shortage conditions. This may include a determination that a particular source of water supply is fully reliable under most, if not all, conditions.
(3) A comparison of the total water supply sources available to the water supplier with the total projected water use for the drought period.
(4) Considerations of the historical drought hydrology, plausible changes on projected supplies and demands under climate change conditions, anticipated regulatory changes, and other locally applicable criteria.
Additional Recommendations:
The following are minor errors that may be addressed either by inclusion in the amendment to the UWMP, or separately with an errata:
1. Landscape Water Use Value.
There is a discrepancy between the landscape water use value in WUEdata and the UWMP document for 2025. Please provide the correct value in both.
2. Distribution System Water Loss Requirement.
Distribution system water loss was only provided for one 12-month reporting period in Table 4-4. CWC 10631(d)(3)(A) states that distribution water loss shall be quantified for each of the five years preceding the plan update. The code section cited in the provided UWMP document (PDF page 31) is not the UWMP water loss
requirement. The provided section of code applies to the Water Docusign Envelope ID: C17FAD24-65C9-4A13-8D21-9DD0E4258501 39 Loss Audit Program. UWMPs require the previous five years of water loss audits. Provide the remaining four years.
CWC 10631(d)(3) (A) The distribution system water loss shall be quantified for each of the five years preceding the plan update, in accordance with rules adopted pursuant to Section 10608.34.
3. SB X7-7 Compliance Form.
The Compliance Form Tables are not completed in WUEdata.
Some are provided in the UWMP document, but compliance data should be available in both. Include all the SB X7-7 Compliance Tables as an attachment or within the UWMP document and complete the available compliance form tables on WUEdata. o Table 4-A is missing. Table 4-A separates water use by source and includes meter error adjustment. Therefore, only providing Table 4 is not sufficient. Provide reasoning for determining the provided estimates.
o Tables 4-C and 4-C.1 were completed in 2015 but do not reflect 2020 eligibility. Complete with 2020 data and include in 2020 UWMP document.
o Table 4-D was completed in 2015 but does not reflect 2020 compliance. Complete with 2020 data and include in 2020 UWMP document.
CWC 10608.20 (e)
(e) An urban retail water supplier shall include in its urban water management plan due in 2010 pursuant to Part 2.6 (commencing with Section 10610) the baseline daily per capita water use, urban water use target, interim urban water use target, and compliance daily per capita water use, along with the bases for determining those estimates, including references to supporting data.
CWC 10608.20(h)(1)(2)
(h) (1) The department, through a public process and in consultation with the California Urban Water Conservation Council, shall develop technical methodologies and criteria for the consistent implementation of this part, including, but not limited to, both of the following:
(A) Methodologies for calculating base daily per capita water use, baseline commercial, industrial, and institutional water use, compliance daily per capita water use, gross water use, service area population, indoor residential water use, and landscaped area water use.
(B) Criteria for adjustments pursuant to subdivisions (d) and (e) of Section 10608.24.
(2) The department shall post the methodologies and criteria developed pursuant to this subdivision on its internet website, and make written copies available, by October 1, 2010. An urban retail water supplier shall use the methods developed by the department in compliance with this part.
4. Inclusion of Groundwater Sustainability Plan.
Docusign Envelope ID: C17FAD24-65C9-4A13-8D21-9DD0E4258501 40 The Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) was not included in the submitted UWMP although it was indicated that groundwater is an existing and planned source of water. Include a link to or copy of the submitted GSP.
CWC 10631(b)(4)(A)
(4) If groundwater is identified as an existing or planned source of water available to the supplier, all of the following information [include]:
(A) The current version of any groundwater sustainability plan or alternative adopted pursuant to Part 2.74 (commencing with Section 10720), any groundwater management plan adopted by the urban water supplier, including plans adopted pursuant to Part 2.75 (commencing with Section 10750), or any other specific
authorization for groundwater management for basins underlying the urban water supplier’s service area.
5. Table 7-2 Discrepancy.
There is a discrepancy between the demand values reported for Table 7-2 in WUEdata and those reported in the UWMP document.
Resolve this discrepancy with the correct values.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss this further.

Lemoore, CA 93245
Subject: TTHM Project Completion Services – Wells 7 & 11 (Amendment to QK Project #240230) Dear Mr. Benavides:
QK is pleased to present this proposal to provide construction management services to the City of Lemoore (City) for the Trichloromethane (TTHM) Project for Wells 7 and 11. This proposal contains sections related to the following:
Background/Project Understanding, Approach/Scope of Services, Schedule, and Fee Estimate.
BACKGROUND/PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of Lemoore is preparing to complete the TTHM treatment facilities at Wells 7 and 11 following the abandonment of the original construction contract in June 2021. At the time construction ceased, the facilities were substantially complete, with approximately 80–90 percent completion at Well 11 and 90–95 percent completion at Well 7.
In May 2024, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) directed the City to demonstrate progress toward completion of the facilities and to implement a Corrective Action Plan to return to compliance. In response, the City engaged QK, as City Engineer, to evaluate the partially constructed facilities and prepare the necessary documents to complete the remaining work.
The City awarded QK the engineering design contract on November 24, 2024, and the design phase has since been completed. The project is currently in the bidding phase, with construction anticipated to resume upon award.
Given the complexity of completing partially constructed treatment facilities, combined with regulatory deadlines and compliance requirements, the City requires dedicated construction management services to oversee construction activities; coordinate with the contractor and regulatory agencies, manage quality, schedule, and costs, and support project closeout and regulatory compliance. The City has therefore requested that QK provide construction management services to support completion of the TTHM treatment facilities.
APPROACH/SCOPE OF SERVICES
The following scope of services has been developed based on discussions and expectations communicated and confirmed by the City.
TASK 4.0 CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Subtask 4.1 Construction Management Services
Construction management services shall consist of the following activities:
• Construction Phase Kickoff Meeting: Team orientation to the project design, scope, deliverables, budget, and roles and responsibilities.
• Preconstruction Meeting: Chair and minute a preconstruction meeting on site with the contractor, City, and QK representatives.
44 City of Lemoore Page 2 of 4
January 20, 2026
• Project Setup: Prepare the project file system in Procore. • Submittals Review: Process submittals and review them for acceptance. We have established a budget for a total of 30 submittals and resubmittals.
• Requests for Information (RFI) Responses: Process RFIs and respond to them. We have established a budget for 25 RFIs.
• Submittals/RFI Logs: Track submittals and RFIs provided to us and produce logs for project records. • Construction Schedule Review and Oversight: Provide construction schedule review and oversight. • Change Management: Review contractors’ potential change orders and provide recommendations. • Contractor Pay Applications Review and Recommendations: Review contractor pay applications and provide recommendations.
• Meeting Oversight: Attend, chair, and minute project meetings. We expect to conduct 19 progress meetings with the contractor, City, and QK. Project progress meetings will be conducted on MS Teams or other video conferencing/collaboration software.
• Materials Testing Review and Oversight: Review test reports and determine compliance with the contract requirements. Advise the contractor when compliance requires remediation and manage the remediation process through to compliance.
• General Coordination: Coordinate with Water Board staff to keep them informed of project progress, including participation in monthly meetings. The project schedule is based on an anticipated 19-week construction duration. In addition, the scope includes a total of seven (7) monthly coordination meetings with the State, recognizing that supplemental progress updates and coordination will be required prior to the start of construction and through project close-out.
Deliverables:

Subject: Introduction of Ordinance No. 2026-03 Adjusting City Council Stipends Strategic Initiative:
☐ Safe & Vibrant Community ☐ Growing & Dynamic Economy

☐ Community & Neighborhood Livability ☐ Not Applicable
Proposed Motion:
Introduce Ordinance No. 2026-03 by title only, amending Title 1, Chapter 5 of the Lemoore Municipal Code to adjust City Council stipends consistent with Government Code § 36516.
Subject/Discussion:
Ordinance No. 2026-03 proposes an amendment to Title 1, Chapter 5, Section 1-5-2 of the Lemoore Municipal Code to adjust City Council compensation consistent with Government Code § 36516.
Government Code § 36516 authorizes general law cities to establish compensation for City Council Members based on population. Based on the City of Lemoore’s population, Council Member compensation may be set up to a maximum of $950.00 per month.
The proposed ordinance would increase the monthly stipend of each Council Member from $300.00 to $750.00 per month. The Mayor would continue to receive an additional $100.00 per month.
In addition, the ordinance establishes a $100.00 monthly stipend for Council Members who are officially appointed by the City Council to serve on a Board or Commission.
If adopted, stipend adjustments would become effective January 1, 2027, in compliance with Government Code requirements regarding the effective date of compensation changes.

Financial Consideration(s):
The proposed adjustment would increase Council compensation beginning January 1, 2027. The total fiscal impact will depend on the number of Council Members serving on Boards or Commissions and will be incorporated into future fiscal year budgets subject to Council appropriation.
Alternatives or Pros/Cons:
Pros include aligning compensation more closely with statutory limits and recognizing additional Board and Commission service.
Cons none found.
