Agenda Title: Support for AB 1866 (Rogers) – California Disaster Assistance Act; Prioritizing State Assistance for Communities Ineligible for FEMA Funding
ACTION & RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council support AB 1866 (Rogers), which strengthens the California Disaster Assistance Act by prioritizing state disaster assistance for local agencies that do not qualify for federal aid due to FEMA’s high minimum damage threshold.
BACKGROUND | ANALYSIS
The California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA) authorizes the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) to provide financial assistance to local agencies for personnel, equipment, materials, and repairs following a Governor-proclaimed state of emergency. Under current law, cities and counties may receive state assistance to repair or restore public property damaged in a disaster. However, access to federal disaster funding through FEMA is limited by a statewide minimum damage threshold, currently exceeding $72 million.
This threshold is based on statewide economic metrics and does not reflect the severity of local impacts. As a result, small, rural, or economically disadvantaged communities experiencing significant localized damage may still fail to qualify for FEMA assistance. The documents provided highlight several real-world examples showing local devastation that fell below FEMA’s threshold, leaving impacted communities without federal recovery funding.
SUMMARY OF AB 1866 (Rogers)
AB 1866 provides targeted improvements to the disaster assistance framework:
• Prioritizes CDAA funding for communities where state-declared disasters do not meet FEMA’s minimum damage threshold.
• Ensures more equitable access to disaster recovery funding for small, rural, and low-income communities.
• Clarifies that volunteer services, such as Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT), can count toward a local agency’s cost-share requirement when federal aid is not available. • Strengthens the state’s ability to support communities experiencing severe local impacts but unable to qualify for federal assistance.
IMPACTS TO THE CITY OF LINDSAY
Like many small rural cities, Lindsay is vulnerable to disasters that may cause substantial local damage but fail to meet FEMA’s statewide damage threshold. AB 1866 would:
• Improve Lindsay’s access to state disaster recovery funding when federal aid is unavailable • Protect the City’s General Fund from unplanned emergency repair costs • Strengthen recovery efforts and reduce delays after a disaster • Help preserve essential public services during the recovery period
SUPPORT FROM OTHER AGENCIES
The League of California Cities sponsors AB 1866, joined by multiple cities including Port Hueneme and Thousand Oaks.

AB 1866- Public Assistance for Disaster Recovery
Updated: March 4, 2026
Assemblymember Chris Rogers, 2
nd Assembly District
Bill Summary
AB 1866 seeks to ensure that communities impacted
by a state declared natural disaster are prioritized for state assistance when Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) funding and
programs are not available. This often impacts small,
rural, or low-income communities in their disaster
recovery.
Background
FEMA and the California Disaster Assistance Act
(CDAA) are public assistance programs to support
disaster recovery. The CDAA authorizes the Director
of the California Governor’s Office of Emergency
Services (Cal OES) to administer a disaster program
that provides financial assistance from the state for
costs incurred by local governments. Cities and
counties work collaboratively with the state to
quantify the amount of damage.
Funding for the repair, restoration, or replacement of
public real property damaged or destroyed by a
disaster is made available when the Cal OES Director
concurs with a local emergency proclamation
requesting state disaster assistance. The program also
provides for the reimbursement of local government
costs associated with certain emergency activities
undertaken in response to a state of emergency
proclaimed by the Governor.
The Governor must request a Presidential Major
Disaster Declaration for FEMA aid. However, when
state declared disasters do not meet the federal
minimum damage threshold criteria, they are
ineligible and have limited resources to recover their
communities.
Problem
Natural disasters are impacting communities across
California, and federal disaster assistance is critical to local communities and their recovery. There are
specific constraints on federal criteria for FEMA
1 California Seismic Safety Commission (2024). Alfred E.
Alquist Seismic Safety Commission 2024 Annual Report.
Seismic Safety Commission 2024 Annual Report
assistance that are impacting California communities
hit with disaster.1
FEMA has established a minimum damage threshold
for each state that is based on state-level metrics. The estimated value of damage from a local event must
exceed the state-level minimum threshold to qualify
for federal assistance. Currently, California’s
minimum per-event threshold is $72,750,330,
exceedingly high because of the high economic value
of the Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay Area
regions and of the State’s technology industry. As a
result, small and/or rural communities in other areas
of California that experience economic disadvantage
or social vulnerability are unable to qualify for
federal assistance and are deprived of an equitable
access to essential funding for recovery if they do not meet the minimum damage threshold.
Solution
In the absence of being able to change FEMA’s
eligibility criteria, AB 1866 clarifies that CDAA
should prioritize funding for communities where
state declared natural disasters do not meet the
minimum damage threshold criteria for FEMA
assistance, often small, rural, or low-income regions
in the state .
Additionally, AB 1866 clarifies that volunteer
services, such as volunteer services through
Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs),
provided during disaster recovery will count toward
the local cost share to help communities leverage
local capacity when federal aid is unavailable.

For questions, please contact Melissa Sparks-Kranz, Environmental Quality Lobbyist with the League of California Cities: [email protected] or 916-658-8232.
AB 1866 (Rogers) would clarify that if a state declared disaster does not qualify for FEMA funding, based on the federal minimum damage threshold, public agencies seeking recovery assistance should be prioritized under the state’s disaster assistance funding.
Under both FEMA and the California
Disaster Assistance Act, there are public
assistance programs to support disaster
recovery. In the event of a disaster,
cities and counties work collaboratively
with the state to quantify the amount of
damage. The Governor must request a
Presidential Major Disaster Declaration
to request FEMA aid. However, when
state declared disasters do not meet
the federal minimum damage
threshold, they are ineligible and are
limited in their ability to recover.
Ferndale Earthquake: City of Rio Dell, Humboldt County (2022, 2023) In December 2022 and January 2023, the City of Rio Dell, a rural community of approximately 3,400 residents, was impacted by a 6.4-magnitude earthquake, a subsequent 5.4-magnitude earthquake, and more than 500 aftershocks. Rio Dell is a severely disadvantaged community, with a median household income of about $37,000 and nearly 38 percent of residents living below the poverty line.
The earthquakes caused an estimated $32
million in damage within the City of Rio
Dell alone, out of approximately $40
million in total damages across Humboldt
County. Roughly 25 percent of the city’s
housing stock was damaged, and critical
public infrastructure, including water and
wastewater systems, sustained significant
impacts. Despite the severity of local
impacts, the disaster did not meet the
federal minimum damage threshold for FEMA Public Assistance.
Rio Dell has relied on the California Disaster Assistance Act for recovery, receiving approximately $3.5 million for 13 projects as of February 2024, covering only a fraction of total recovery needs and illustrating how small and rural communities can be excluded from federal aid even after severe disasters.
What is the minimum damage threshold?
In California, the minimum damage
threshold—currently over $72 million—is
based on statewide metrics rather than
local impact, can exclude small, rural,
and low-income communities from FEMA
assistance even after severe local
disaster.

Disaster Recovery
For questions, please contact Melissa Sparks-Kranz, Environmental Quality Lobbyist with the League of California Cities: [email protected] or 916-658-8232.
Storm Surge: City of Brawley, San Bernardino and Imperial Counties (2025) On September 18, 2025, a storm system fueled by Tropical Storm Mario caused exceptionally high winds, heavy rainfall, flash flooding, and mudslides across Imperial and San Bernardino Counties. The storm damaged roads and other infrastructure, including severe erosion, washouts, and undermined embankments on State Routes 38, 62, and 178 in San Bernardino County. In Imperial County, and in the City of Brawley, the storm caused significant infrastructure damage, including damage to canal systems and electrical transmission lines and poles, resulting in widespread power outages.
Although the Governor proclaimed a state
of emergency, the disaster did not meet
federal thresholds for FEMA Public
Assistance. The City of Brawley has not
received disaster recovery funding from
Cal OES to date, despite estimated
damages of approximately $2.9 million,
highlighting the gap faced by communities
experiencing substantial local impacts
without access to federal assistance.
Why This Bill Matters
The Rio Dell earthquakes and the storms surges in the City of Brawley illustrate how communities can experience severe local damage yet remain ineligible for FEMA assistance because they do not meet the federal minimum damage threshold. Even delayed or insufficient funding pushes back recovery timelines and strains local resources to support communities in the process to rebuild.
AB 1866 (Rogers) addresses this gap by requiring the state to prioritize disaster assistance funding for local agencies that are ineligible for federal aid due to the minimum damage threshold, ensuring equitable recovery when FEMA support is unavailable.
Community Emergency Response Teams:
Community Emergency Response Teams, also called CERTs, are trained local volunteers who play a critical role in disaster response. AB 1866 (Rogers) will be amended to include that volunteer services, such as through CERTs, provided during disaster recovery will count toward the local cost share to help communities leverage local capacity when federal aid is unavailable.

RE: AB 1866 (Rogers) California Disaster Assistance Act.
Notice of SUPPORT (As Introduced on February 17, 2026)
Dear Assemblymember Ransom,
The City of Lindsay is pleased to support AB 1866 (Rogers), which would strengthen the California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA) by ensuring local agencies who do not qualify for federal disaster aid are prioritized when being considered for state disaster public assistance for following a state-declared emergency.
Under current law, the California Disaster Assistance Act requires the Director of California’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) to provide financial assistance to local agencies for personnel costs, equipment costs, and the cost of supplies and materials used during disaster response activities, incurred as a result of a state of emergency proclaimed by the Governor. While federal disaster assistance is also an important component of recovery, access to that funding is constrained by the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) minimum per-event damage threshold, which currently requires more than $72 million in statewide damages for California disasters to qualify for federal aid.
Because this threshold is based on statewide damages, communities that experience significant local impacts may still be ineligible for federal assistance if the overall event does not meet the federal minimum. Smaller, rural, and economically disadvantaged communities are particularly vulnerable under this structure, as they often lack the fiscal capacity to absorb unexpected recovery costs for damaged public facilities and infrastructure.
AB 1866 would clarify that, when allocating state public assistance funding under the CDAA, the CalOES Director should prioritize local agencies that are not eligible for federal

assistance due to their inability to meet FEMA’s minimum damage threshold. This targeted clarification would help ensure more equitable access to state disaster funding and provide critical support to communities working to rebuild without federal assistance.
For cities like ours, this prioritization would help protect local budgets, preserve essential services, and support timely recovery following a disaster event that does not meet the federal minimum damage threshold. By strengthening the state’s framework for assisting impacted communities, AB 1866 improves fairness and resilience in California’s disaster response system.
For these reasons, the City of Lindsay is pleased to support AB 1866 (Rogers).
Sincerely,
MISTY VILLARREAL

Agenda Title: Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Review of the 3rd Quarter
ACTION & RECOMMENDATION
The Third Quarter Budget Review for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 is attached. The summary shows the revenues and expenses for July through March of 2026.
BACKGROUND | ANALYSIS
The City receives revenue at different times throughout the year in order to cover expenses.
The General Fund revenues the City depends on are received at different times throughout the Fiscal Year:
• Monthly Receipts: Sales Tax, Utility User Tax, Special Tax (Measure O and R) • Quarterly Receipts: Retail Cannabis Tax, Transient Occupancy Tax • Twice a Year: Property Taxes
• Grants: Mostly on a reimbursement basis.
Water and Sewer Funds receive money on a daily basis as residents make their utility payments.
Refuse Fund revenue is received in late December and April when the residents pay their property taxes.
Parks and Street Grants for the most part are received after the City has paid for expenses and submit for reimbursement from the granting agency.
The 3rd Quarter Review shows:
Revenues are slower than we expect.
• Sales Tax projection is estimated to be 5% less than was projected at the beginning of the Fiscal Year. • Parks Grant will be reimbursing City for $936,438 for the Olive Bowl/Kaku Park.
Expenses for major projects were delayed.
• Capital Expenses for the water and street projects are expected during the 4th Quarter.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Lindsay City Council
MEETING DATE: April 14, 2026
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
FROM: Kuyler Crocker, City Manager
Agenda Title: Issuance of Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) for Potential Acquisition of the City’s Water and Wastewater Systems
ACTION & RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize release of the Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) to identify qualified firms interested in acquiring, operating, and improving the City of Lindsay’s water and wastewater systems.
BACKGROUND | ANALYSIS
The City of Lindsay faces significant long-term challenges related to its water and wastewater infrastructure, including aging wells, declining water levels, escalating capital repair needs, and increasingly strict water quality regulations.
Rates were recently increased in 2024 to begin tackling the backlog of projects needed to be completed to maintain a functional water and sewer system. The City has begun utilizing the new revenue to implement critical infrastructure upgrades.
The City of Lindsay continues to face fiscal challenges in its General Fund. Many of the City’s roads need complete rehabilitation. Staffing in public safety department is lower than other local cities based on call volume. Animal control and code enforcement activities need additional resources to positively impact Lindsay.
Economic development focus to foster additional jobs and opportunities have been minimal. Youth and senior programming are other areas in need of increased investment. The Sale of the City’s Water and sewer assets would eliminate debt in both enterprise funds along with creating meaningful, ongoing annual revenue through franchise fees and water sales.
The SOQ process allows the City to evaluate whether a private or investor-owned utility operator—regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission—could deliver needed system upgrades, provide long-term financial stability, and reduce fiscal pressure on the City.
The SOQ is intended to:
• Identify qualified firms with demonstrated expertise in water and sewer system ownership and operation • Ensure respondents have strong financial capacity and regulatory compliance histories • Assess potential partners capable of long-term investment • Evaluate options for stabilizing water/wastewater enterprise funds • Prepare for Council discussions on future budget priorities and potential revenue generation Potential Benefits
1. Financial Stability and Revenue Generation
a. A system sale could provide substantial one-time revenue that may eliminate long-term liabilities and stabilize the City’s enterprise funds.
2. Major Capital Improvements
a. Private utilities possess larger capital programs and can accelerate infrastructure upgrades the City currently cannot fund alone.
3. Workforce Protections
Item #: 15.1
Action Items
a. The SOQ requires honoring existing labor agreements and offering employment to current utilities staff.
4. Rate Predictability
a. Regulation by the Public Utilities Commission provides oversight, consumer protection, and structured rate-setting.
5. Operational Expertise
a. Experienced operators bring modern maintenance tools, technical staff, and proven water system management.
FISCAL IMPACT
Issuing the SOQ has no immediate fiscal impact. Should the City proceed into negotiations; staff will return with:
• Potential sale valuation
• Enterprise fund impacts
• Long-term rate considerations
• Ongoing General Fund Revenue

1. Purpose
The City of Lindsay (“City”) invites qualified firms (“Respondents”) to submit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) demonstrating their capability and intent to acquire, own, operate, and improve the Cities potable water and wastewater systems (collectively, the “Systems”). The objective of this RFQ phase is to identify a short-list of Respondents whose experience, technical expertise, financial capacity, and community-oriented approach best align with the City’ long-term service, environmental, and economic goals.
2. Background
City of Lindsay will provide a concise overview of the Systems—service area, customer connections, plant capacities, regulatory status, recent capital improvements, outstanding debt, collective bargaining obligations, and any material consent decrees or enforcement orders.
The City owns the water and wastewater treatment systems, physical assets and infrastructure through which it supplies water to its approximately 13,900 residents and approximately 278 businesses, totaling 3020 service connections.
The City’s service area covers all users within the city limits as well as four unincorporated communities outside the city limits that receive City water service, known locally as Page-Moore Tract, the Sierra Shadows Mobile Home Park, El Rancho, and an area west of the city near the intersection of Road 188 and Avenue 242 (“Avenue 240 and 242 Connection”).
In recent months, staff has been researching, investigating, and studying the integrity of the System’s infrastructure and physical assets, and the City’s current and future ability to operate, maintain, and improve the System, all while ensuring the City is able to supply water at affordable rates to its users, which research has included the viability of a sale of the System to a capable private (or public) entity.
Historically, the City’s water supply has been both from groundwater and surface water. The System consists of two operating ground water wells (Well 14 and Well 15). The surface water is provided through a water contract with the Bureau of Reclamation. There is one well currently under a rehabilitation process (Well 11). If successful, Well 11 can be up in operation in approximately 12-15 months. Important to note that this last well has been out of service since 2005.
The City’s wastewater is conveyed to the WWTF in a gravity pipeline running from the City along Tulare Road (State Highway 65) to Cairns Corner, then north along Road 196 for approximately 2,650 feet, then west to the WWTF. The collection system consists of two other trunk sewers located within the city limits (Tulare Road and Honolulu Avenue trunk sewers) which convey the wastewater to the Tulare Road sewer. These trunk sewers were replaced around 2000. Most of the other sewers were constructed in around 1911 of concrete pipe.
There is an emergency storage pond located at the WWTF site. The emergency pond has a storage capacity of approximately three million gallons. In case of an electrical power outage or failure of the headworks screw pumps, wastewater will back up into the influent pipeline until it reaches the manhole adjacent to the emergency bypass pond, from which the sewage will discharge into the emergency storage pond. Once power is restored, the sewage will flow back into the sewer and to the headworks.
The emergency storage pond can also be used for temporary storage if an oxidation ditch or clarifier needs to be emptied for maintenance. Each structure can be drained through a drain line to a sump that discharges into the emergency storage pond.
The WWTF is rated a Class III facility since it is a 2.5 MGD activated sludge facility.
3. Transaction Overview

• Acquire all real and personal property comprising the Systems. • Assume responsibility for operations, maintenance, regulatory compliance, customer service, billing, and capital investment.
