STAFF REPORT
Resolution of the City Council of the City of Livingston authorizing the City of Livingston to enter into an agreement with the State of California Department of Water Resources (CDWR) to receive funds for the new centralized treatment plant and storage tank and authorizing the Interim City Manager to execute the agreement on behalf of the City of Livingston
January 21, 2025
Anthony Chavarria, Public Works Director
Christopher Lopez, Interim City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025- , authorizing the City of Livingston to enter into an agreement with the State of California Department of Water Resources (CDWR) to receive funds for the new centralized treatment plant and storage tank and authorizing the Interim City Manager to execute the agreement on behalf of the City of Livingston. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
In February 2023, members of City Council and City Staff met with Senator Anna Caballero to discuss funding opportunities available through California Governor Newsoms' Budget Act of 2023 and Assembly Bill 102. The City requested funding to construct a new centralized treatment plant and storage tank. The funds will be utilized towards increasing the domestic water system capacity and to improve centralized trichloropropane (TCP) treatment. This project consists of constructing a new Well (No.18), and a centralized 1,2,3-TCP removal water treatment system at the Well No. 8 centralized treatment site to treat water from Wells 8, 9, and
18. A water storage tank and booster pump station will also be constructed at the Well No. 8 site.
The City of Livingston currently has a separate DWSRF application under review with the CDWR that is anticipated to fully fund the centralized treatment, storage tank, and booster pump station improvement items. On September 3, 2024, City Council approved the use of the $1,000,000.00 funds scheduled to be obtained from AB 102 to be designated for the construction of new Well No. 18. The remaining funds needed to complete the construction of Well No. 18 will come from water capital funds and water enterprise funds as approved at the September 3, 2024, City Council meeting.
New Well No. 18 is needed in order to increase the City of Livingston's water system production capacity and provide a more reliable source for meeting current water demands. New Well No. 18 will be treated for 1,2,3-TCP removal at the future centralized treatment at Well No. 8 site. 1
The adoption of this resolution is required by CDWR in order for the City to execute the agreement with CDWR and for the City to be eligible for reimbursement of the funds.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will be reimbursed up to the approved funding amount of $1,000,000.00.

STAFF REPORT
An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Livingston Amending Title 4, Chapter 2, Section 10 of Livingston Municipal Code (LMC 4-2- 10) Pertaining to Freeway Oriented Signs to Allow Off-Premises Advertising on Vacant land.
January 21, 2025
Martha Abeloe, Sr. Administrative Analyst-CD
Christopher Lopez, Interim City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Waive Second Reading of the Ordinance by Title Only and Adopt Ordinance of the City of Council of the City of Livingston Repealing and Replacing Title 4, Chapter 2, Section 10 of Livingston the Municipal Code regarding Freeway Oriented Signs to allow off-premises advertising on vacant land.
BACKGROUND:
An applicant has recently come to the City (Triple AAA) to install a freeway-oriented sign on its property while allowing the City to have a community event advertised to the passing public.
Currently, the municipal code does not allow such activity.
A. Permitting signage on property before the property is developed.
Accessory uses are permitted in all zoning districts. However, accessory uses are secondary to the primary land use on the site. An accessory use is normally incidental to, subordinate to, or exclusively devoted to a principal use located on the same lot. A business sign is considered an accessory to the primary land use, once the business is developed and operated onsite.
The City's current Sign Regulations prohibit off-premises advertising, LMC 4-2-4(J). If an applicant were to propose a sign on an undeveloped property, advertising a business or businesses that are not operated on the property, it would constitute as off-premises advertising, which is prohibited under 4-2-4 (J). Should the City allow installation of permanent signage on vacant property?
B. Freeway Oriented Sign.
The question above is extended to a larger, tall, freestanding, freeway-oriented sign. If an applicant requests to develop a 60- to 80-foot-high Freeway Oriented Sign in advance of the development of the property, can the property owner be allowed to advertise other businesses not located on the project site, even advertise businesses located outside of the City Limits? C. Site Plan and Design Review (SPDR)
The Livingston Municipal Code requires all new construction to undergo Site Plan and Design Review consideration by the Planning Commission for a recommendation to the City Council for final consideration. The Site Plan and Design Review application allows the City to evaluate the development proposal to assure compatibility, harmony in appearance with the neighborhood, reduction of any negative impacts, and orderly development of the area.
All applicants are encouraged to follow the normal SPDR application process, which includes an opportunity for submittal of a sign plan for evaluation of each development proposal.
0. Ordinance Text Amendment
Allowing off-site or off-premises advertising is not presently allowed in the Sign Regulations. On September 17, 2024, the following three (3) Options were presented to the City Council for discussion and direction:
1. Direct staff to initiate an amendment to the Sign Chapter of the City's Municipal Code to allow permanent off-premises advertising on vacant property.
2. Direct staff to Initiate an amendment to the Sign Chapter of the City's Municipal Code to allow freeway-oriented signs to advertise off-premises businesses owned by the property owner.
3. Direct staff not to initiate an ordinance amendment and require any applicant who desires to amendment the sign Chapter to pay the City's fee for processing an Ordinance Amendment request.
There was a motion by City Council Member Wallis and Seconded by Mayor Pro-Tern Samra and a vote was passed 5-0 for Option 2.
Therefore, staff is now presenting an Ordinance amendment which was prepare by the City Attorney to ensure compliance with all applicable laws .
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The subject matter is considered to be an administrative activity and not considered a project under CEQA Section 15378 (b)(5).

January 21, 2025
Anthony Chavarria, Public Works Director
Jesus Jr. Chavez, Water/Wastewater Manager
Christopher Lopez, Interim City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution (1) authorizing the Interim City Manager to execute a Professional Service Agreement as approved by the city's attorney's office with Telstar Instruments, in an amount not to exceed $57,500 for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 and $40,000 per year for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 and Fiscal Year 2026/2027 for a wide range of services for city water wells and the wastewater treatment system. The agreement term is for three (3) years in an amount not to exceed $137,500, and (2) authorizing the Interim City Manager to enter into future agreement(s) with Telstar Instruments for two (2) additional one (1) year terms in an amount not to exceed $40,000 per term.
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:
The City of Livingston owns and operates nine (9) water wells, a wastewater treatment plant as well as nine (9) sewer lift stations and nine (9) storm lift stations which are essential to a city's infrastructure, providing reliable access to clean water and safeguarding public health. Water wells tap into underground aquifers, supplying potable water necessary for drinking, sanitation, and daily activities.
Meanwhile, wastewater treatment plants play a critical role in removing harmful pollutants and pathogens, preventing the spread of waterborne diseases.
Telstar Instruments has undertaken a wide range of tasks over the years and continues to serve the City of Livingston with various services, including but not limited to troubleshooting electrical components, SCADA, PLCs, sewer and storm lift stations, water wells, VFDs, and conducting instrument calibrations for flow meters at both water wells and the wastewater treatment system.
Telstar is a reputable business known for their swift and effective response times, especially for emergency situations. This year, they assisted our staff with an emergency repair during a VFD failure at Well 13, demonstrating their reliability and expertise.
Pagel of2
Additionally, Telstar is very familiar with all our systems at the water well sites and wastewater treatment plant as staff use them when their services are needed.
Understanding their ability and knowledge aids in optimizing the overall efficiency of the water system, ensuring that it can meet the demand of residents and businesses reliably. As a result, the city found itself regularly calling out Telstar for their services and diagnosing city water well issues to keep up with both demand and maintenance needs.
Lastly, proactive management of the water wells can support regulatory compliance and enhance the sustainability of the city's water resources, ultimately contributing to the long-term health and well-being of the community.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$40,000 expended from the Water Enterprise Fund (2100-810-4310) and $17,500 expended from the Sewer Enterprise Fund (2101 -815-4310) totaling $57,500 for Fiscal Year 202412025.
The total cost for the three (3) year term of the professional service agreement will be in the amount not to exceed $137,500.
The City may, in its sole discretion, extend the Term for two (2) additional one (1) year terms in an amount not to exceed $80,000.
Future year allocations will be budgeted within each fiscal year as part of the budget.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council Approve a Resolution Approving a Four (4) Year Professional Service Agreement with Mike Reavill for Streaming Services for the City Council Meetings in an Amount Not to Exceed $64,000 and Authori:z:ing the Interim City Manager to Execute all Required Documents.
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:
The council passed the above-referenced resolution (2024-85} on December 17, 2024. On January 13, 2025, Mike Reavill brought to our attention that the cost of automobile liability insurance would be too high, outweighing the amount he is receiving for services. Unfortunately, if automobile liability is not removed, he would be unable to continue providing streaming services for city council meetings.
Mr. Reavill presented a proposal to provide the city with streaming services for the city council meetings for the cost below. The contract is set for a duration of four (4) years, not to exceed $64,000, which can be extended to an additional one (1) year if the parties mutually consent at a price not to exceed $80,000.
Regular Scheduled Meetinas $425.00
Rush Meeting with less than $500
48-hour notice
Mr. Reavill is knowledgeable about the City's sound, visual, and streaming systems. The City is pleased with Mr. Reavill's performance.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The compensation has been appropriated and approved in the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 budget (1100- 100-4300). Future year allocations will be budgeted within each fiscal year.
