STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Adopt a Resolution (1) Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Professional Service Agreement with Precision Emprise LLC, dba Precision Concrete Cutting (PCC) for the 2025 Sidewalk Trip Hazard Mitigation Phase 1 Project for a Total Project Amount Not to Exceed $31,144.66 and (2) Waive Formal Bidding Requirements as Outlined in Section 1-11-6 MEETING DATE: May 20, 2025
PREPARED BY: Anthony Chavarria, Director of Public Works REVIEWED BY: Jose Antonio Ramirez, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional service agreement with Precision Emprise LLC, dba Precision Concrete Cutting (PCC) for the 2025 Sidewalk Trip Hazard Mitigation Phase 1 Project for a total project amount not to exceed $31,144.66 and (2) waive formal bidding requirements as outlined in Section 1-11-6.
BACKGROUND:
In April 2024, Staff secured the services of Precision Concrete Cutting (PCC) to perform a comprehensive sidewalk trip hazard assessment. A tripping hazard is defined as any panel uplift between one-half inch and two inches in height and caused by a number of factors such as age, weather, subsurface conditions, or tree roots. The areas that were inspected are as follows: Arakelian Park, City Hall/P.D./Fire, Court Yard Plaza, Frederick Worden Park, Hammatt-from Olive Ave. to Walnut Ave., Joseph Gallo Park, Lucero Park, Max Sports Complex, Memorial Park, Singh Park and Winton-F St. to Peach. There were 487 Offset repairs, 26 R&Rs and 164 ATTN identified for a total of 677 tripping hazards.
The City typically inspects and repairs sidewalks on an informal or as-needed basis but, will be transitioning the repairing of sidewalks as part of a larger capital improvement project. Staff researched ways to mitigate these sidewalk issues. A cost-effective method to mitigate sidewalk tripping hazards is cutting the vertical displacement in a manner that is safe and ADA-compliant. Precision Concrete Cutting (PCC) performs these types of sidewalk repairs using patented saw cutting equipment. Using their specialized tools, they are able to implement a precise method for removing only damaged concrete, reducing the risk of over-cutting and unnecessary repairs. This method saves on materials, labor, and time, leading to quicker project completion and less public disruption. It also creates clean, straight edges that are safer for pedestrians, reducing the risk of tripping hazards and potential liabilities. As PCC holds the special patent on the concrete cutting equipment, they have been deemed a sole source for providing this type of sidewalk repair.
In September 2024, PCC completed 81 Offset repairs at Joseph Gallo Park. Staff requested a cost estimate from PCC for the remaining 406 Offset repairs of the tripping hazards in the areas at Arakelian Park, City Hall/P.D./Fire, Court Yard Plaza, Frederick Worden Park, Hammatt-Olive Ave., Joseph Gallo Park, Lucero Park, Max Sports Complex, Memorial Park, Singh Park and Winton-F St. to Peach using this unique saw-cutting method, which provides for the gentlest transition between repaired panels.
PCC' s cost estimate of $31,144.66 includes fixing all tripping hazards and creating and maintaining a historical database of sidewalk hazard locations and repair work.
The cost for traditional R&R repair is estimated to be $400,000 and PCC has estimated the total cost for Phase 1 to be $37,000. With 90% cost savings, PCC is 10.8x more cost effective than traditional R&R.
PCC will also assess and survey Main St. from Peach Ave. to Swan St., Robin from Lilac to “F” Street and “F” Street from Robin to Winton Parkway for Phase 2 of the Sidewalk Trip Hazard Mitigation Project during FY 25/26.
PCC also offers a built-in service to build and maintain a GIS-based database of sidewalk inspections and repairs. GIS software allows for precise mapping and documentation of sidewalk conditions, leading to accurate assessments and better repair planning. It centralizes data for informed decisionmaking, uses historical data to predict future maintenance, and optimizes resource allocation, which reduces long-term costs.
DISCUSSION:
The Livingston Municipal Code requires formal bidding procedures for all purchases over $10,000 unless the formal bidding process is undesirable, impossible, unavailing, or incongruous as determined by the City Manager. Section 1-11-6 waiver of formal bid procedures of the Municipal Code states that formal bid procedure of items over $10,000 can only be waived if the purchase is (A) Of urgent necessity for the preservation of life, health or property, (B) Waived by Council resolution passed by at least four affirmative votes; and/or (C) Available from only one source. Sole source must be adequately justified.
Sole Source
Precision Concrete Cutting (PCC) qualifies for sole source procurement based on its exclusive combination of patented sidewalk repair technology and integrated GIS-based asset management system, which are not commercially available from other providers. PCC holds eight patents issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its proprietary horizontal saw-cutting methods, which enable precise, ADA-compliant removal of sidewalk trip hazards without requiring full panel replacement. This method uniquely achieves a uniform taper across vertical displacements, ensuring compliance with ADA cross-slope and running slope requirements while preserving adjacent infrastructure. PCC’s patented system also includes advanced silica dust suppression, capturing up to 90% of particulates during the cutting process—critical for minimizing disruption in residential and commercial zones.
PCC further distinguishes itself through a GIS-based platform that captures sidewalk conditions, measurements, photos, and repair history in real time, providing a searchable database that supports ADA Title II program accessibility mandates, PROWAG recommendations, and long-term asset management. No other contractor offers this level of technical integration, data transparency, or documented regulatory compliance. PCC’s services have been utilized by over 100 cities across California and have demonstrated cost savings of 70–90% compared to full concrete replacement.
Given the exclusivity of PCC’s eight U.S. patents, its proprietary GIS-integrated technology, and the significant operational, legal, and compliance risks associated with dividing this work among multiple vendors, PCC meets the criteria for a sole source award under municipal procurement guidelines.
Staff recommends using PCC as a sole-source contractor for current and future annual sidewalk repair work due to their unique combination of patented tools and database software, which will streamline the execution and tracking of sidewalk: repairs. In summary, PCC will:
• Repair a total of 406 sidewalk uplifts with uplift dimensions of ½" (minimum) to 2" (maximum) within the City of Livingston using saw cutting methods at Arakelian Park, City Hall/P.D./Fire, Court Yard Plaza, Frederick Worden Park, Hammatt- from Olive Ave. to Walnut Ave., Joseph Gallo Park, Lucero Park, Max Sports Complex, Memorial Park, Singh Park and Winton-F St. to Peach.
• Input of all repair and inspection data into ArcGIS system • Manage repair database in ArcGIS.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$31,144.66 will be expended from the approved Fiscal Year 2024/2025 budget from the Measure V 80% Fund (1221-105-7530).

The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and noncontributory basis for the benefit of City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
(d) City’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement. (e) Acceptable insurers.

(f) Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against City, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
(g) Enforcement of contract provisions (non-estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
(h) Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
6 (i) Notice of cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.
(j) Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that City and its officers, officials, employees, and agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.
(k) Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing. (l) Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions. (m) Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review. (n) Agency’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation.
(o) Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by City.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Request from Livingston B Street, L.P. (Self Help Enterprises) for the Deferral of Development Impact Fees for the River Glen 80-unit Affordable Housing Project at 400 B Street
MEETING DATE: May 20, 2025
PREPARED BY: Miguel Galvez, Contract City Planner
REVIEWED BY: Jose Antonio Ramirez, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution approving a City of Livingston Residential Development Impact Fee Deferral Covenant with Livingston B Street, L.P. for the River Glen Apartment Project.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On March 4, 2025, City staff received a letter from Heather Mendonca, Assistant Director of SelfHelp Enterprises requesting the City’s development impact fees for the proposed River Glen Project – an 80-unit affordable housing development located at 400 B Street be deferred from time of building permit issuance to Certificate of Occupancy, see Attachment 1. Self-Help Enterprises is the general partner of Livingston B Street, L.P., who is currently in the process of purchasing the property.
Development impact fee deferrals for qualifying low-income residential projects such as this project are mandatory upon request as i) the project will provide well over 49% of its units for lower income households; and ii) the project is covered by recently-enacted fee deferral provisions because the project is a “designated residential project.” under SB 937. While deferral is mandatory, the City can require a deferral agreement of limited scope, which is proposed for adoption. Consistent with State requirements, under the Agreement the fees will be deferred until the date of the final inspection, or the date the certificate of occupancy is issued, whichever occurs first. The Agreement will be recorded against the property and a release of the obligation will be filed when the fees are paid. Note that due to financing considerations that building permit(s) will be issued prior to the recording of the developer’s construction loan and the recording of the Agreement.
On May 31, 2024, the proposed project received Ministerial Approval from the City per AB 2011:
The Affordable Housing and High Road Job Act of 2011, see Attachment 2.
The project site will be developed with 6 two-story and 4 three-story buildings for a total of 80 dwelling units. The units will be developed as one, two and three-bedroom units to serve working families, seniors, individuals, and families at risk of homelessness. The project includes an approximately 3,026 square foot community center which will provide office space for the full-time on-site manager and resident services staff. In addition, the project will include battery storage technology and heating and cooling systems that allow the project to exceed energy requirements. Related on-site improvements include parking, cinderblock waste enclosures, landscaping, concrete walkways, and underground utilities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No Fiscal Impact
ALTERNATIVES:
Should Council take no action on the request, project financing will be jeopardized. Should the request be denied, the project would likely not be constructed.

RE: Request for Fee Deferral: River Glen Project – 80-unit Affordable Housing Development Dear Mr. Bains:
Self-Help Enterprises (SHE) is currently working to develop the 80-unit affordable rental community known as “River Glen”. River Glen is located at the corner of Winton Parkway and B Street in Livingston and the project will be under construction by June 2025.
SHE formerly requests the development impact fees for this project be deferred until completion of construction, and the payment of the fees be required prior to obtaining a certificate of occupancy.
Government Code Section 66007 provides the authority for the City to defer payment of the fees until certificate of occupancy. Deferral of the fees assists the project because the project will not be required to pay interest on the expense over the course of construction. Since the units will not be constructed or occupied, the impacts will not be in place until the certificate of occupancy is obtained.
This request also falls in line with The City of Livingston’s current draft Housing Element for the years 2024-2032. Within Program 16 – Permitting Fees: " As development applications are received, the City may consider the waiver of development impact fees for new housing developments affordable to extremely low-, very low-, and moderate-income households.” We are excited about the opportunity to work with the City of Livingston to provide safe and decent affordable housing opportunities for the residents of Livingston.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this request in more detail, please contact me at [email protected] or (559) 802-1589.
Sincerely,
Heather Mendonca

RE: Ministerial Approval of AB 2011 Affordable Housing Development – Livingston B Street Project Dear Ms. McGovern-Garcia:
On December 11, 2023, the City of Livingston received an application and development plan ("Application") for the project located at the southeast corner of Winton Parkway and B Street (APNs 022-010-021, 022-010-023) (the “Project”) pursuant to Section 65912.100 et seq. of the Government Code, as enacted by the Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022 ("AB 2011") for by-right ministerial approval of your 80-unit affordable housing project. The project site is designated Community Commercial (CC) and zoned Commercial Community (C-2) and is currently vacant.
The Project application requests approval for a 80-unit new affordable rental community. The project site will be developed with 6 two-story and 4 three-story buildings for a total of 80 dwelling units. The units will be developed as one, two and three-bedroom units to serve working families, seniors, individuals, and families at risk of homelessness. The project includes an approximately 3,026 square foot community center which will provide office space for the full-time on-site manager and resident services staff. In addition, the project will include battery storage technology and heating and cooling systems that allow the project to exceed energy requirements. Related on-site improvements include parking, block waste enclosures, landscaping, concrete walkways, and underground utilities.
City of Livingston had 60 days from the date of submittal (i.e., until February 9, 2024) to complete its review of the Project’s compliance with AB 2011’s criteria, and 90 days from the date of submittal (i.e., until March 11, 2024) to complete any design review. Gov Code § 65912.114(a), (b), (e). Since no written determination to the applicant setting forth any reason that the Project failed to meet any applicable AB 2011 standards within those timeframes, the Project is deemed to meet all applicable standards as matter of law. Gov. Code § 65912.114(b). Approval of the Project is a “ministerial” act, Gov. Code §§ 65912.110, 65912.111, 65912.112, 65912.113(e), which is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act, Pub. Res. Code § 21080(b)(1).

Livingston B Street Project
Ministerial Approval of AB 2011 Affordable Housing Development
Accordingly, your request for ministerial approval of the Project pursuant to AB 2011 is APPROVED in accordance with the Application.
Please note that after ministerial approval post-entitlement phase permits are required for the Project, as is compliance with the applicable building and fire codes. Among others, the City does not currently have a fire truck with a ladder capable of serving a residential structure three stories or greater in height, and the City has a lack of adequate water supply and pressure. We look forward to continuing to work with Self-Help Enterprises to address these items going forward.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions regarding the City's building permit submittal and review process.
Very truly yours,

01424.0006/1065965.2 -2- Rotorcraft Fee Deferment Agreement H. City and Developer now desire to enter into this Agreement.
AGREEMENT
For valuable consideration, which each Party acknowledges, the City and Developer agree as follows:
1. Recitals. The foregoing Recitals are incorporated herein by reference.
2. Deferral of Certain Development Impact Fees from Building Permit Issuance.
Development Impact Fees. Any development impact fees or charges for the construction of public improvements or facilities for the Project shall not be required to be paid to the City until either the date of the final inspection, or the date the certificate of occupancy is issued, whichever occurs first. The amount of the fees and charges shall be the same amount as would have been paid had the fees and charges been paid in accordance with the City’s fee schedule in effect at the time of the issuance of the relevant building permit(s); no interest shall be charged on any deferred fee amount.
i. Other Fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that all fees regularly collected by the City at building permit issuance for other agencies (“Non-City Fees”), if any, and all City connection and other fees, other than deferred impact fees, are due as applicable on issuance of the building permit or as otherwise applicable for the Project. The Parties agree that utility service fees related to connections may be collected by the City at the time an application for service is received.
3. Building Permit Issuance. The Developer has represented that it is purchasing the Property, and that this Agreement will be recorded immediately after the closing of Developer’s construction loan.
In order to meet Developer’s underwriting requirements, Developer is requesting Building Permits be issued prior to the construction loan closing. However, building permits are not issued unless to the Property owner or authorized representative, and as of the Effective Date of this agreement the Developer does not own the Property. As a result, the Parties agree that Building Permit(s) may be issued prior to the recording of this Agreement if Developer will first provide documentation to the City from the owner of the Property authorizing issuance of Building Permits. However, Developer acknowledges and agrees that regardless of the issuance of any Building Permit, no Certificate of Occupancy will be issued until payment of impact fees and charges have been made by Developer as set forth in Section 2.
4. Retention of Overall Obligation. Developer acknowledges and agrees that the postponement of the payment of the development impact fees does not eliminate Developer’s obligation to pay the deferred development impact fees. Should Developer fail to pay the City any deferred development impact fees when due the City may: refuse to issue the Certificate of Occupancy for the Project or any component thereof, refuse to undertake additional inspections or issue permits for the Project or any component thereof, file a breach of contract lawsuit against Developer, revoke permits or entitlements under which construction is undertaken for the Project, or take any other action authorized by law or equity.
5. Term. The term of this Agreement will commence upon approval by the City and will extend until Developer has paid all of the deferred development impact fees. However, should Developer fail to obtain the building permit within 120 days of the effective date of this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate. In such case Developer shall no longer have the option to defer development impact fees.
All indemnification obligations provided in this Agreement shall remain in effect following the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
01424.0006/1065965.2 -3- Rotorcraft Fee Deferment Agreement

This Agreement shall burden the Property described and constitute a covenant running with the land in favor of and for the benefit of City shall be binding upon the successors, transferees, and heirs of Subdivider.

The services provided by Hinderliter de Llamas and Associates are invaluable in monitoring and tracking sales/use tax collected by businesses, revenue projections, economic trends locally and statewide and providing answers for sales tax questions that arise.
DISCUSSION:
The current agreement does not provide for services from Hinderliter de Llamas and Associates for the Measure L Transaction Tax.
Staff recommends approval of the First Amendment so that the same services can be received for Measure L taxes.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fee is $300 per month. This will be in addition to the $400 a month currently charged. Funds for services provided by Hinderliter de Llamas and Associates are contained in the General Fund budget.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution to adopt Addendum No. 2 to the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the City of Livingston’s 1, 2, 3 – TCP Removal Treatment System Project (State Clearinghouse #2018091025).
MEETING DATE: May 20, 2025
PREPARED BY: Mario Gouveia, City Engineer
REVIEWED BY: Jose A. Ramirez, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Livingston City Council conduct a public hearing for this item and, through resolution, adopt Addendum No. 2 to the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the City’s 1,2,3-TCP Removal Treatment System Project (State Clearinghouse #2018091025).
BACKGROUND:
This environmental document is the second addendum to the City of Livingston’s 1,2,3-TCP Removal Treatment System Project (Project) Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND). The original Project and associated IS/MND were approved by the Livingston City Council on October 16, 2018, and a Notice of Determination (NOD) was filed with the State Clearinghouse on January 22, 2019.
Following the NOD filing, minor changes were made to the Project, including the addition of well sites, TCP treatment facilities, and connection pipelines. An initial addendum (Addendum No. 1) to the IS/MND was adopted by the City Council on September 20, 2022, with a subsequent NOD filed on October 14, 2022.
Since the filing of the NOD for Addendum No. 1, additional changes to the Project have been proposed.
Addendum No. 2 analyzes the inclusion of components that were omitted from the previously approved TCP Treatment Facility at Arakelian Park, additional components associated with Well 8, and the relocation of Well 18.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed modifications will not result in any new or more severe environmental impacts, an addendum to the previously adopted IS/MND is the appropriate level of CEQA documentation, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164. An addendum may be prepared when only minor changes are necessary and the environmental and regulatory settings remain substantially the same.
An addendum must be included in or attached to the previous IS/MND.
Since the City Council held a public hearing to consider the first Addendum, Staff recommends considering Addendum No. 2 in a public hearing as well, along with the previously adopted IS/MND and Addendum No. 1.
Once adopted, Addendum No. 2 will be placed in the administrative record, and a Notice of Determination will be filed with the Merced County Clerk and the State Clearinghouse, thereby completing the CEQA process.
640.20-2
Original and current project description.
The Project description for the Project has been modified since the original IS/MND and Addendum were prepared. The following outlines the Project descriptions included with each environmental document.
Project Description that was included in the original 2018 IS/MND:
“The City plans to make several improvements to increase the City’s water system capacity and improve centralized proposed trichloropropane (TCP) treatment. Specifically, the Project will consist of installing new pipeline between existing Wells 8, 9, 13, and 17 and the proposed centralized treatment facilities; new treatment trains to the existing TCP centralized treatment facility; and a new treated water storage tank and booster pump station. Specifically, the Project will include:
• Installation of approximately 2,400 linear feet of 10-inch pipeline between Well 13 and the proposed centralized treatment facility;
• Installation of approximately 2,300 linear feet of 12-inch pipeline between Well 17 and the proposed centralized treatment facility;
• Installation of approximately 1,600 linear feet of 12-inch pipeline between Well 9 and the proposed centralized treatment facility;
• Improvements at the centralized treatment facility to include several treatment trains to the existing TCP treatment system, including two trains to Well 8, which is at the proposed centralized treatment site; and
• Construction of a 1.5-million-gallon storage tank and a 6,000-gallons-per-minute booster pump station at Well 8 to increase the City’s water system capacity to meet peak hour demand.”
Modifications to the Project as analyzed by Addendum No. 1 in 2022:
• “Installation of a new water well (Well 19) and a centralized TCP treatment site on approximately 7.8 acres located 330 feet west of Davis Street and 100 feet north of Campbell Boulevard, adjacent to the Southern Pacific Railroad and Foster Farms. • Installation of a new TCP treatment site at Arakelian Park (approximately 1.3 acres); a new pipeline installation (approximately one mile of pipeline) from existing Well 12 and existing Well 17 to the new TCP treatment site at Arakelian Park; and a new pipeline (approximately 2,400 linear feet of pipeline) along Mont Cliff Avenue between existing Well 13 at Joseph Gallo Park and the proposed TCP treatment site at Arakelian Park. Arakelian Park is located south of Monte Cliff Way and northeast of the Arena Canal.
• Installation of a new water well (Well 18) on approximately 0.33 acres northwest of the intersection of Davis Street and White Avenue.
• Existing TCP treatment facility at existing Well 8 will be expanded by approximately 1.5 acres and a new pipeline will be installed from Wells 9 and 18 to the TCP treatment site at Well 8.” The current Project Description and modifications as analyzed by Addendum No. 2:
“Additions to the TCP Treatment Facility at Arakelian Park The scope of work for the TCP Treatment Facility at Arakelian Park remains unchanged in intent; however, this Addendum clarifies and supplements the project description provided in Addendum No.
1.
640.20-2
Specifically, while the original description referenced the treatment facility site, it did not explicitly identify all supporting buildings, grading, and infrastructure components, including a partially buried water storage tank and booster pumps. These elements are integral to the operation of the facility and were always contemplated as part of the project’s functional design. This Addendum, Addendum No. 2, now includes these components explicitly for clarity. All previously analyzed components of the TCP Treatment Facility remain valid, and clarification of the facility and the inclusion of the storage tank and booster pumps do not result in new or more severe environmental impacts than those previously disclosed. The site layout, including the clarified components, is shown in Exhibit 1 (TCP Treatment Facility at Arakelian Park).
Additions to the Well 8 site
In addition to the previously approved TCP treatment facility at the Well 8 location, the City is adding two new filtration vessels and a new backwash tank (approximately 70,000 gallons) for arsenic removal to the existing Well 8 site.
Relocation of Well 18
Addendum No. 1 identified the location of Well 18 on the northwest corner of White Avenue and Davis Street, with associated water pipeline running east on Davis Street, north on White Avenue, east on Swan Street and north on North Main Street to the Well 8 Centralized Treatment Site. This Addendum, Addendum No. 2, memorializes the relocation of Well 18 and the associated buildings, grading, and infrastructure components to Lucero Park, with water pipeline running west on Celia Drive and north on North Main Street to the Well 8 Centralized Treatment Site. Both the original location and the proposed relocation with associated pipeline is shown on Exhibit 2 (Well 18 - Original and Proposed Location).” ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
As demonstrated in Addendum No. 2, no new significant environmental impacts result from these additional Project components. The IS/MND remains the appropriate CEQA document.
Addendum No. 2 analyzed the updated Project Description and compared environmental impacts identified in the original 2018 IS/MND and 2022 Addendum No. 1. The analysis confirms that none of the conditions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, which would require a subsequent IS/MND, are met. The conclusions of the original IS/MND remain valid.
Following the public hearing and adoption of Addendum No. 2, the City’s consultants will submit an Environmental Package to the State Water Board to meet the Board’s environmental documentation requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total combined estimated project cost is $35.3M. The City has applied for a $27M funding grant from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund for the Arakelian Park Treatment Facility and Well 8 Centralized Treatment Site. The grant will cover hundred percent of the project costs, up to the approved funding amount.

City of Livingston 1, 2, 3TCP Removal Treatment Facility Addendum No. 2
3 Section One – Introduction
This environmental document is the second Addendum to the City of Livingston’s 1,2,3-TCP Removal Treatment System Project (Project) Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND). The Project and associated IS/MND were approved by the Livingston City Council on October 16, 2018, and a Notice of Determination (NOD) was filed with the State Clearinghouse on January 22, 2019.
Following the NOD filing, minor changes were made to the Project, including the addition of well sites, TCP treatment facilities, and connection pipelines. An initial Addendum (Addendum No. 1) to the IS/MND was adopted by the City Council on September 20, 2022, with a subsequent NOD filed on October 14, 2022.
Since the filing of the NOD for Addendum No. 1, additional changes to the Project have been proposed. These include the relocation of a previously approved well site (Well 18), and the addition of a storage tank and booster pump at the previously approved TCP Treatment Facility site. A full description of both the original Project and the proposed modifications is provided in Section Two of this document.
These new components were not previously analyzed in the original IS/MND or Addendum No. 1 and are therefore evaluated in this Addendum (Addendum No. 2). Based on the analysis presented herein and the nature of the proposed changes, the Project would not result in any new significant impacts.
Purpose of the Addendum and CEQA Guidelines 15162 and 15164 Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(b) (Addendum to an EIR or Negative Declaration), a Lead Agency may prepare an Addendum to a previously adopted negative declaration if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary and none of the conditions requiring a subsequent or supplemental environmental document, as outlined in Section 15162, are triggered. Under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, a new or subsequent EIR or Negative Declaration is required only if one or more of the following conditions apply:
• Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
• Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or • New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted.
City of Livingston 1, 2, 3TCP Removal Treatment Facility Addendum No. 2
4 If any of the above conditions are met, a subsequent IS/MND would be required. However, as demonstrated in this Addendum No. 2, none of these criteria apply to the proposed Project modifications. Therefore, preparation of an Addendum is appropriate and compliant with CEQA Guidelines.
The purpose of this Addendum No. 2 is to analyze the potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed modifications to the Project. This document addresses only those changes that have occurred since the adoption of the original IS/MND and Addendum No. 1.
Section Two – Project Description
The Project is located in the City of Livingston, in Merced County within the San Joaquin Valley.
Additional details regarding the Project location and description are provided in the following subsections.
Original Project Location and Description
IS/MND
The Project occurs in two separate areas of the City. A centralized treatment site, new storage tank and booster pump station, and Wells 8 and Well 9 are north of State Route 99 in the northern portion of the City. This Project area extends along North Main Street from Swan Street in the north to Crowell Street at the south in Sections 24 and 25 of Township 6 South, Range 11 East as shown on the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 1961 Cressey 7.5-minute quadrangle. Well 13, Well 17, and the proposed centralized treatment facility are south of State Route 99. This Project area extends generally west to east and then south from Joseph Gallo Park, east to Arakelian Park, and south along the Arena Canal to Sun Valley Avenue in Sections 26 and 35 of Township 6 South, Range 11 East as shown on the USGS 1961 Cressey and Arena 7.5-minute quadrangles (Figure 1 - ISMND Approved Project Footprint).
Addendum No. 1
Minor changes were made to the original Approved Project which consist of adding additional water wells, additional TCP treatment facilities and additional connecting pipelines. The additional Project components are as follows:
• New water well (Well 19) and a centralized TCP treatment site on approximately 7.8 acres located 330 feet west of Davis Street and 100 feet north of Campbell Boulevard, adjacent to the Southern Pacific Railroad and Foster Farms (Figure 2 - Addendum No. 1 Approved Location for Well 19 and TCP Treatment Site).
• New TCP treatment site at Arakelian Park (approximately 1.3 acres); a new pipeline installation (approximately one mile of pipeline) from existing Well 12 and existing Well 17 to the new TCP treatment site at Arakelian Park; and a new pipeline (approximately 2,400 linear feet of pipeline) along Mont Cliff Avenue between existing Well 13 at Joseph Gallo Park and the proposed TCP treatment site at Arakelian Park. Arakelian Park is located south of Mont Cliff Way and northeast of the Arena Canal (Figure 3 - Addendum No. 1 Approved TCP Treatment Site at Arakelian Park and Associated Water Pipelines).
City of Livingston 1, 2, 3TCP Removal Treatment Facility Addendum No. 2
5 • New water well (Well 18) on approximately 0.33 acres northwest of the intersection of Davis Street and White Avenue (Figure 4 - Addendum No. 1 Approved Location for Well 18 and Expanded Treatment Site at Well 8).
• Existing TCP treatment facility at existing Well 8 will be expanded by approximately 1.5 acres and a new pipeline will be installed from Wells 9 and 18 to the TCP treatment site at Well 8 (Figure 4 - Addendum No. 1 Approved Location for Well 18 and Expanded Treatment Site at Well 8).
Project Description of Proposed Modifications
Additions to the TCP Treatment Facility at Arakelian Park The scope of work for the TCP Treatment Facility at Arakelian Park remains unchanged in intent; however, this Addendum clarifies and supplements the project description provided in Addendum No. 1.
Specifically, while the original description referenced the treatment facility site, it did not explicitly identify all supporting buildings, grading, and infrastructure components, including a partially buried water storage tank and booster pumps. These elements are integral to the operation of the facility and were always contemplated as part of the project’s functional design.
This Addendum, Addendum No. 2 now includes these components explicitly for clarity. All previously analyzed components of the TCP Treatment Facility remain valid, and clarification of the facility and the inclusion of the storage tank and booster pumps do not result in new or more severe environmental impacts than those previously disclosed. The site layout, including the clarified components, is shown in Figure 5 - TCP Treatment Facility at Arakelian Park.
Additions to the Well 8 site
In addition to the previously approved TCP treatment facility at the Well 8 location, the City is adding two new filtration vessels and a new backwash tank (approximately 70,000 gallons) for arsenic removal to the existing Well 8 site.
Relocation of Well 18
Addendum No. 1 identified the location of Well 18 on the northwest corner of White Avenue and Davis Street, with associated water pipeline running east on Davis Street, north on White Avenue, east on Swan Street and north on North Main Street to the Well 8 Centralized Treatment Site.
This Addendum, Addendum No. 2, memorializes the relocation of Well 18 and the associated buildings, grading, and infrastructure components to Lucero Park, with water pipeline running west on Celia Drive and north on North Main Street to the Well 8 Centralized Treatment Site.
Both the original location and the proposed relocation with associated pipeline are shown on Figure 6 - Well 18 - Original and Proposed Location.

City of Livingston 1, 2, 3TCP Removal Treatment Facility Addendum No. 2
15 Due to the additional project components introduced in Addendum No. 1, and updated Biological Survey was completed to assess the impacts to biological resources for the additional sites. The TCP Treatment Facility located at Arakelian Park was included in that previous analysis and does not pose any additional impacts.
The updated biological survey also included the original location of Well 18 and the associated pipeline to the Well 8 Centralized Treatment Facility. Addendum No. 2 includes the relocation of Well 18 to Lucero Park, which is approximately 1,000 linear feet from the original location. Both the modified location for Well 18 and the associated water pipeline are surrounded by commercial and residential uses and are not suitable habitat for any identified species or migratory fish. The original IS/MND included mitigation measures that will be applicable to the relocated well site and associated water pipeline.
This Addendum analyzes the inclusion of omitted components from the previously approved TCP Treatment Facility at Arakelian Park, additional components associated with Well 8, and the relocation of Well 18 as described in Section Two – Project Description.

ISMND Mitigation Measures
BIO-1: Protect nesting Swanison’s hawks
If work will occur during the Swainson’s hawk nesting season (15 March – 15 August), a qualified biologist shall conduct a survey for active Swainson’s hawk nests within 0.5 miles of the Project site no more than 14 days prior to the start of construction. If an active nest is found within 0.5 miles and the activity would disrupt nesting, a buffer or limited operating period should be implemented in consultation with the CDFW.
BIO-2: Protect Nesting Birds
To the extent practicable, construction shall be scheduled to avoid the nesting season, which extends from February through August. If it is not possible to schedule construction between September and January, preconstruction surveys for nesting birds shall be conducted by a qualified biologist to ensure that no active nests will be disturbed during Project implementation. A pre-construction survey shall be conducted no more than 14 days prior to the initiation of construction activities. During this survey, the qualified biologist shall inspect all potential nest substrates in and immediately adjacent to the impact areas for nests. If an active nest is found close enough to the construction area to be disturbed by these activities, the qualified biologist shall determine the extent of a construction-free buffer to be established around the nest. If work cannot proceed without disturbing the nesting birds, work may need to be halted or redirected to other areas until nesting and fledging are completed or the nest has otherwise failed for nonconstruction related reasons.
City of Livingston 1, 2, 3TCP Removal Treatment Facility Addendum No. 2
16 Conclusion
The Project with modifications will not result in any of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and the conclusions from the IS/MND remain.

• Listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code section 5020.1(k), or • A resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public
City of Livingston 1, 2, 3TCP Removal Treatment Facility Addendum No. 2
26 Resources Code Section 5024.1. In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resource Code Section 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe.
Discussion
The IS/MND and Addendum No. 1 determined the Project would a less than significant impact to impact area d and less than significant impact with mitigation to impact areas a.
Although the City conducted the required Tribal Consultation with the original IS/MND, the additional Project components introduced with Addendum No. 1 required additional tribal consultation. The TCP Treatment Facility located at Arakelian Park was included in that previous analysis, as well as the original location of Well 18 at the northwest corner of White Avenue and Davis Street and the associated pipeline to the Well 8 Centralized Treatment Facility.
Addendum No. 2 includes the relocation of Well 18 to Lucero Park, which is approximately 1,000 linear feet from the original location. The updated Cultural Resources Survey and Report that was completed for Addendum No. 1 included the original location of Well 18 plus a 0.5-mile radius of the Area of Potential Effects (APE). This report also include outreach to the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) who stated in a response letter that the search of the Sacred Lands File did not indicate the presence of resources in the immediate APE. However, the NAHC cautioned that the absence of specific site information in their file does not indicate the absence of tribal cultural resources in the Project area. In response, the City’s Cultural Resource consultant reached out to individuals provided by the NAHC regarding information on sacred or special sites.
Of the responses received, there were no known resources on the Project site or within the APE.
Although the proposed relocation of Well 18 was not specifically called out in the updated Cultural Resources Survey and Report, the area which Well 18 will be relocated to was included in the analysis since a buffer of 0.5-miles around the APE was assessed and the relocation is located less than 1,000-linear feet away; therefore, the proposed relocation site will not have an impact to tribal cultural resources.
This Addendum analyzes the inclusion of omitted components from the previously approved TCP Treatment Facility at Arakelian Park, additional components associated with Well 8, and the relocation of Well 18 as described in Section Two – Project Description. The proposed Project modifications will not cause any additional significant impacts to relating to tribal cultural resources and will not increase the severity of impacts relating to tribal cultural resources.
ISMND Mitigation Measures
None.
Conclusion
The Project with modifications will not result in any of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and the conclusions from the IS/MND remain.
City of Livingston 1, 2, 3TCP Removal Treatment Facility Addendum No. 2
27 Utilities and Service Systems

(b) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry and multiple dry years? (c) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments?
(d) Generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals? (e) Comply with federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste?
Discussion
The original IS/MND and Addendum No. 1 analyzed the project with respect to impacts involving transportation/traffic. The previous analysis concluded the Project would have a less than significant impact to impact areas a, b, c, d and e.
This Addendum analyzes the inclusion of omitted components from the previously approved TCP Treatment Facility at Arakelian Park, additional components associated with Well 8, and the relocation of Well 18 as described in Section Two – Project Description.

ISMND Mitigation Measures
None.
Conclusion
The Project with modifications will not result in any of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and the conclusions from the IS/MND remain.
Wildfire
Impact Areas:
(a) Substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? (b) Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors, exacerbate wildfire risks, and thereby expose project
occupants to, pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire? (c) Require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment? (d) Expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes?
City of Livingston 1, 2, 3TCP Removal Treatment Facility Addendum No. 2
28 Discussion
The Wildfire impact area was not included in the original IS/MND because in 2018 the CEQA Guidelines did not require the evaluation of wildfire; however, wildfire analysis was included in Addendum No. 1 and concluded that the Project would not result in significant impacts to wildfire.
This Addendum analyzes the inclusion of omitted components from the previously approved TCP Treatment Facility at Arakelian Park, additional components associated with Well 8, and the relocation of Well 18 as described in Section Two – Project Description. The proposed Project modifications will not cause any additional significant impacts to relating to wildfire and will not increase the severity of impacts relating to wildfire.
ISMND Mitigation Measures
None.
Conclusion
The Project with modifications will not result in any of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.
Mandatory Findings of Significance
Impact Areas:
(a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory?
(b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively considerable” means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)?
(c) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?
Conclusion
The original IS/MND and Addendum No. 1 determined the Project would have a less than significant impact on all mandatory findings of significance.
This Addendum analyzes the inclusion of omitted components from the previously approved TCP Treatment Facility at Arakelian Park and the relocation of Well 18 as described in Section Two – Project Description. The proposed Project modifications do not increase impacts and no additional impacts were identified.

1 AGENDA ITEM: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

BACKGROUND:
In June 2021, the City Manager executed an agreement with American Legal Publishing Corporation for codification services. American Legal Publishing Corporation has over 100 years of combined experience working with municipal governments and codifying. Ordinances are an essential part of a government's function to enforce regulation. For that reason, the City decided to codify its municipal code to have enforceable regulations that conform with state and federal laws. The City of Livingston has the authority, under its police power, to enact regulations for the public peace, morals, and welfare of the City, California Constitution Article XI, section 7; and has the authority and legal right to establish standards governing land use, zoning, water, sewer, and general city governance. The basic steps of codification are as follows:
1. Ordinance Review - Ordinances and resolutions are reviewed to determine which provisions are general and permanent and whether they have been repealed or superseded by more recent legislation. Once identified, these materials are then included in the code.
2. Organization – logical structure is critical to ensure the code is easy to use.
3. Editorial and Legal Review – review of the code, noting errors and outdated material.
Legal professionals also conduct a separate review to find potential inconsistencies in the ordinances and ensure that provisions conform with state and federal laws.
4. Draft, Review, and Final Production - After review, a draft is sent to the City for the City to accept or reject suggested changes or make other necessary changes.
5. Published Code – After all changes have been made and approved, the code is published.
After a thorough review, the City wishes to enact an ordinance repealing the prior City of Livingston Municipal dated January 30, 2023, and replacing it with the Municipal Code dated January 31, 2023.
