STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: A Resolution Of The City Council Of The City Of Livingston Approving Amendment To Joint Powers
Agreement Of The Central San Joaquin Valley Risk
Management Authority
MEETING DATE: September 2, 2025
PREPARED BY: Arcelia Cruz, Human Resources Coordinator
APPROVED BY: Jose Antonio Ramirez, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopts the resolution approving amendment to the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) of the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority (CSJVRMA).
BACKGROUND:
The CSJVRMA is a California Joint Powers Authority created and operated pursuant to California Government Code 6500 et. seq. for the purpose of pooling funds to provide coverage for indemnification and defense and to purchase excess insurance for certain civil claims involving general liability, workers’ compensation, and property damage. The City is a member of the CSJVRMA.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
The CSJVRMA is in the process of updating its Governing Documents, and the first of many is the JPA. The amendments are redlined in the attached Agreement and have been approved by the CSJVRMA’s Executive Committee. Per CSJVRMA bylaws, all amendments must be approved by the City Council.
A summary of the updates are as follows:
• Definitional terms have been defined more clearly.
• Language has been broadened to give leeway in the event the CSJVRMA wants to consider creating or participating in a captive agency. • An addition was made pursuant to Government Code Section 6509 that was not part of the law in 1994 when CSJVRMA last amended the Agreement. The change requires JPAs to designate a member whose restrictions would apply to the operations of the JPA.
According to CSJVRMA Legal Counsel, “GCS 6509 was enacted to prevent a local public entity from exercising powers inconsistent with its own charter, ordinance or resolution simply by becoming a member of JPA. JPA’s are formed to permit public entities to exercise powers on a collective basis. However, the JPA is subject to the same restrictions as the entity designated in the agreement.

DATE: July 14, 2025

FROM: Jeanette Workman, Administrator
SUBJECT: AMENDED AND RESTATED CSJVRMA JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT –
ACTION REQUIRED
The Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority’s (CSJVRMA) staff and CSJVRMA Legal Counsel, Mr. John Lavra, in conjunction with the CSJVRMA Administration and Financial Services Subcommittee, who will make recommendations to the Executive Committee, are conducting a full review of the CSJVRMA governing documents to ensure they continue to reflect the CSJVRMA’s current practices, legal requirements, and operational needs.
Pursuant to action by the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority’s (CSJVRMA) Executive Committee on June 26, 2025, we are forwarding to you an Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement for presentation and approval by your city’s city council at their earliest opportunity.
Amendments to the Joint Powers Agreement require a written resolution approved and signed by two-thirds (2/3rds) of the respective city councils of the member cities. Upon signature by twothirds (2/3rds) of the member cities, any member city failing or refusing to abide by such amendments may be involuntarily terminated as a party to the Agreement.
Mr. Lavra advised the Executive Committee that although the Joint Powers Agreement, even as last amended in 1994, meets the legal requirements as set forth in the government code for Joint Powers Authorities, the document has been updated as follows:
Definitional terms have been defined more clearly.
Language has been broadened to give leeway in the event the CSJVRMA wants to consider creating or participating in a captive agency. An addition was made pursuant to Government Code Section 6509 that was not part of the law in 1994 when CSJVRMA last amended the Agreement. The change requires JPAs to designate a member whose restrictions would apply to the operations of the JPA. Below is an excerpt from correspondence from Mr. Lavra:
“This code section was enacted to prevent a local public entity from exercising powers inconsistent with its own charter, ordinance or resolution simply by becoming a member of a JPA. JPA's are formed to permit public entities to exercise powers on a collective basis, which they could, absent the JPA, exercise individually. However, the legislature wanted to place some restriction on the power of the JPA, without that JPA having to comply with all restrictions that might be in place for all of the members of the JPA. It would be unworkable, for instance, if the JPA had to satisfy or verify any and all 32 of 401
CSJVRMA Member City Councils
July 14, 2025
restrictions from the ordinances of all of the members of the JPA when transacting the business of the JPA. In order to strike a balance, section 6509 permits the JPA to agree to any restrictions in its exercise of powers based on the restrictions of one identified member city.”
The City of Ripon has been added to the Agreement as the designated city under Government Code Section 6509 with City of Madera listed as a secondary city in the event the City of Ripon were to terminate its membership. These two cities have no restrictions in place that would conflict with the day-to-day operations of the JPA.
To assist you in presenting this information to your city council for approval, a redline version of the Joint Powers Agreement is attached. Also attached are the following:
A proposed new Joint Powers Agreement to be executed upon approval by your city council.
A sample resolution that can be used to document the action taken by your city council in approving the Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement. This document is also being provided in a Word format to allow you to modify as appropriate for adoption by your council when approving the Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement.
Upon approval of the new Joint Powers Agreement by your city council, the final document needs to be executed by your City Manager/Administrator or an authorized individual from your city. Please forward an original, signed copy of the new Joint Powers Agreement, along with a copy of the adopted and fully executed council resolution, to Samantha Zellmer, CSJVRMA Board Secretary, at the following address:

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Authorizing And Approving The Application For Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program Grant Funds (Fiscal Year 2025- 2026 CTFGP Grant Agreement)
MEETING DATE: September 2, 2025
PREPARED BY: John Ramirez, Interim Chief of Police
REVIEWED BY: Jose Antonio Ramirez, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council Authorize and Approve the Application for Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program Grant Funds (Fiscal Year 2025-2026 CTFGP Grant Agreement).
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Every year, impaired driving arrests prove to be some of the most common arrests made in the City of Livingston. From 2022 to 2024, DUI arrests remain constant while the percentage of DUI related traffic collisions has gradually increased over the last three years.
The Livingston Police Department has received an offer of financial assistance from the California Highway Patrol Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program. The purpose of this funding is to facilitate enforcement of laws and to increase prevention techniques related to driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs (DUI/DUID). A secondary purpose is for public education and prevention of drunk driving.
Receipt of this grant will improve the Livingston Police Department’s effectiveness by developing staff training and increasing DUI/DUID enforcement, which will significantly increase roadway safety for the community.
This grant also includes a community education portion. There are numerous educational opportunities through our relationships with schools as well as our connections with community events and outreach. Our goal is to provide a specialized educational opportunity using innovative tools that will create an engaging learning environment.
Funding provided through the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant will enable the Livingston Police Department to achieve the goal of targeting alcohol and drug related driving issues years ahead of our current budget resources.
70 of 401
DISCUSSION:
There are different levels of training that have a focus on DUI/DUID related investigations provided by the California Highway Patrol. The training includes Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFST), Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE), Drug Recognition Expert, and SFST Instructor Course. This series of training courses is designed to build upon prior training experience.
The Livingston Police Department currently has 17 sworn officers that perform various functions including traffic patrols for DUI/DUID related offenses. Of those 17 officers only 6 have training related to DUI/DUID investigations.
This grant will fund the course fees, travel expenses, and associated overtime cost to provide 7 Officers with Standardized Field Sobriety Test training, 10 Officers with Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement training, 2 Officers with Drug Recognition Expert training, and 1 Officer with Standardized Field Sobriety Test Instructor training. The goal of this focused training is to have all officers successfully complete training that improves and hones the skills necessary to properly enforce laws related to impaired driving.
There is an educational portion of the grant that funds the purchase of DUI/DUID educational tools that will raise awareness of drunk driving in youth and young adults.
This grant will provide funding for 12 DUI Saturation Patrols during the year 2025/2026. These patrols will focus on drunk driving offenders. The goal will be to reduce the number of drunk drivers operating vehicles in Livingston and reduce the negative impact drunk driving has on the community.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Police Department is requesting the Finance Department to make a supplemental budget appropriation for the following general fund accounts for the Fiscal Year 2025-2026. 1100-102-4130 $71,509.10
1100-102-4320 $58,300.00
1100-102-4550 $6,300.00
1100-000-3352 $136,109.10
All costs associated with the Saturation Patrols, Training, and related overtime will be reimbursed through the allocation of allowed grant funds.

Our grant project will improve the Livingston Police Department’s effectiveness by elevating the training of its staff and will significantly increase roadway safety for the community. This will also be accomplished through increased dedicated patrols aimed at providing education, preventing Vehicle Code violations and enforcing laws related to driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs.
The project will also include a community education portion. There are numerous educational opportunities through our relationships with schools as well as our connections with community events and outreach. Our goal is to provide a specialized educational opportunity using innovative tools that will create an engaging learning environment.
Problem Statement & Proposed Solution
The City of Livingston has a population of approximately 17,000 residents. The Livingston Police Department officers work to prevent and enforce impaired driving inclusive with their respective patrol duties. Sworn staffing is 18 officers including sergeants, a lieutenant and the Chief of Police. In addition, there are a minimum of four sworn reserves which supplement patrol. All sworn officers are trained in general law enforcement, traffic enforcement, criminal investigations, community-oriented policing, crime prevention, and serve in the detective bureau/patrol division. Livingston is located in Merced County and is serviced by Highway 99 Corridor (SR99).
State Route 99 (SR 99) is a major north–south state highway in the U.S. state of California, stretching almost the entire length of the Central Valley. The highway runs through the heart of Livingston. Livingston is a host to businesses that cater to commuters, the common traveler and large truck haulers. We work closely with the neighboring communities of Merced, Turlock, Modesto and Highway Patrol to provide a safe vehicular environment. Highway SR99’s accessibility combined with the services provided by these businesses make it a thoroughfare for illicit activities, including impaired driving under the influence of both alcohol and drugs, underscoring the imperative for targeted law enforcement interventions to safeguard the community of Livingston.
Every year, impaired driving arrests prove to be some of the most common arrests made in the City of Livingston. From 2022 to 2024, DUI arrest remain a constant while the percentage of DUI related traffic collisions has gradually increased over the last three years. By lessening the amount of impaired driving crimes in the City of Livingston, we expect to gain trust and build important relationships with our residents so that they can safely driving in the city.
Funding provided by this grant will result in a significant increase in public safety while concurrently enhancing the quality of our enforcement efforts. Our grant goal focuses on the reduction of impaired driving incidents throughout the city and neighboring communities. This crucial support for the Livingston Police Department will create a positive impact in our concentrated efforts toward the training of officers and enforcement of impaired driving laws. Funding provided through the Cannabis Tax Fund grant will enable the Livingston Police Department the ability to advance the goal of targeting alcohol and drug related driving issues years ahead of our current budget resources.

Previously low staffing levels and a reduced training budget hampered the Livingston Police Department’s ability to perform dedicated enforcement patrols. As the Department approaches full staffing, a unique opportunity presents itself with this grant to revitalize our goal for DUI related enforcement. With the addition of a dedicated enforcement patrols, the opportunity presents itself to make a significant impact providing dedicated enforcement to make the community safer from the impacts of impaired driving.
Performance Measures/Scope of Work
12 DUI Saturation Patrols (Q1 = 3, Q2 = 3, Q3 = 3, Q4 =3); Aim to reduce DUI/DUID collisions by 10-15%, which will improve roadway safety in the community by reducing the likelihood of injury caused by a DUI/DUID collision.
7 Officers sent to Standardized Field Sobriety Test training (Q1=1, Q2=2, Q3-Q4 =4); Aim to have all staff members achieve a minimum of training through successful completion in order to improve and hone the skills necessary to properly enforce DUIs and reduce impaired driving. 10 Officers sent to Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement training (Q1=2, Q2=2, Q3-Q4 =6); Aim to have all staff members have at a minimum, advanced training with successful completion to improve and hone the skills necessary to properly enforce DUI/DUIDs and reduce impaired driving. 1 Officer sent Standardized Field Sobriety Test Instructor training (Q1 = 1) = Attend and complete training); Aim to have an instructor on staff who can host training for current and new staff members, assist other agencies to train their staff, and to reduce travel/logistic expenses incurred by sending staff to out-of-area training.
2 Officers sent to Drug Recognition Expert training (Q1 = 1, Q2-Q4 = 1); Aim to have staff members who can qualify as Drug Recognition Experts during prosecution cases and to conduct DRE exams on suspected impaired drivers to increase the efficiency and competency while enforcing impaired DUI/DUID stops.
Educational Presentations at Community events (Q1 = 1, Q2 = 1, Q3 = 1, Q4 = 1): Quarter 1: Livingston Community Health Fair (August, 2025), Goal is to contact 10 young adults to increase awareness of driving under the influence. Livingston Sweet Potatoe Festival (3 Days, September 2025), Goal is to contact at least 25 young adults to increase awareness of driving under the influence. Quarter 2: 4 Livingston Street Faire Events (Thursdays, October 2025), Goal is to contact 10 young adults to increase awareness of driving under the influence. Quarter 3: None. Quarter 4: Sober Graduation (May, 2026), Goal is to contact at least 50 young adults each event to increase awareness of driving under the influence.
Project Performance Evaluation
Our performance and associated positive impact on the community serviced by this Project will be evaluated through comparison between project data and previous year’s data. The benefit of sending staff to advanced trainings coupled with their respective completion rate will also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the Project. The resulting data and completion rate will be analyzed and included in the Performance Measures of each Quarterly Report. The data will be collected through the use of Statistical Sheets for each DUI Saturation Patrol. These will include date/times of patrols, number of vehicle stops, number of Field Sobriety Tests administered, number of arrests made for Driving Under the Influence (broken down by alcohol, drug, or alcohol/drug combination), number of DRE Evaluations performed, and other citations/arrests made during the patrol. Target areas will be selected based on comp-stat data collected prior to each DUI Saturation Patrol.

Program Sustainability
In order to reduce reliance on future grant funding, the Project includes the prioritization of staff training. Inhouse trainers will provide continued support and additional training for existing and future staff. It is our intention to create a culture of success for all our staff members by retaining knowledge, constant exposure to developing best practices and a department wide commitment to DUI/DUID enforcement. Department leadership recognizes their responsibility to provide a learning environment in which officers can continue to develop and hone the respective skills necessary to increase the effectiveness of impaired driving recognition and enforcement. By the end of the Project, all existing staff will have obtained an advanced level of training which can then be prioritized to help elevate new staff to the same level with minimum cost or delay. The saturation patrols funded by the Project will help further identify problem areas of the jurisdiction of the Livingston Police Department. This training and the data developed will be communicated via comp-stat to aid routine patrol in enforcing impaired driving violations outside of Saturation Patrol dates.
Administrative Support
The program goal of targeting DUI/DUID offenders through saturation patrol and enforcement has the full support of Livingston’s administrative/department leadership. This support resonates from the City Council downward as a mandate to reduce and as a goal, to eliminate impaired driving. In order to successfully implement the Project, staff will be dedicated to man saturation enforcement patrols and to backfill staffing levels in order to send staff members to trainings to improve and hone their skills which will be used during implementation. The grant efforts, progress, and success will be managed by the Administrative Contact and overseen by the Authorized Official named in this grant. 84 of 401

QUARTERLY REPORTING
92 of 401
Expenses and Budget Categories
Reimbursement Requests shall not be submitted until a Grant Agreement is fully executed. A Grant Agreement is deemed fully executed when an electronically signed Grant Agreement, approved Board Resolution, and completed FI$Cal Form are on file with CGU. Once Executed, a Grant Administrator will be assigned to your Organization/Agency.
Payments are issued on a reimbursement-basis only, and payment advances are not allowed.
Grantees shall submit Reimbursement Requests on a quarterly basis for approved achievements and expenses relating to the Project goals and activities that occurred during the Reporting Period through the GMS. Budget Categories for requesting reimbursement may include Personnel, Travel, Equipment, Consultants/Contracts, and/or Other Direct Costs.
In the GMS, Grantees will create one Expense line item per Project activity. Do not split one Project activity across multiple Expense line items. Reimbursement Requests must be submitted by an authorized contact of the Organization/Agency. It is the responsibility of the authorized contact to verify:
• All Reimbursement Requests are eligible.
• Amounts do not exceed the budget line-item totals.
• Expense line-items are posted to the correct Budget Category and Budget line-item. • Supporting documentation is attached and uploaded to each Expense line item.
Please allow enough time for the Grant Administrator to review the submitted information to ensure a Reimbursement Request is submitted by the due date. CGU reserves the right to request additional information, as needed.
Note: Reimbursement Requests, consisting of Expense line-items (Budget), Achievements (Performance Plans) and supporting documentation are due within 14 calendar days of the due dates, with the exception of the fourth quarter, which is due within 60 calendar days of the due date. All due dates can be found under “Important Dates”. Please contact your Grant Administrator if a deadline cannot be met.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution (1) Approving the Purchase of Thirteen Solar Light Poles for Main Street, Mont Cliff Way and Barcelona Drive in the Amount of $74,627.00.00 from Fonroche Lighting America, (2) Waive Formal Bidding Requirements as Outlined in Section 1-11-16, and (3) Authorizing the City Manager to Execute All Required Documents
MEETING DATE: September 2, 2025
PREPARED BY: Anthony Chavarria, Director of Public Works REVIEWED BY: Jose Antonio Ramirez, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution (1) approving the purchase of thirteen solar light poles for Main Street, Mont Cliff Way and Barcelona Drive in the amount of $74,627.00.00 from Fonroche Lighting America, (2) waive formal bidding requirements as outlined in Section 1-11-16, and (3) authorizing the City Manager to execute all required documents.
BACKGROUND:
Currently Main Street from D Street to Park Street lacks adequate lighting on one side of the street, creating a safety concern for residents and motorists. Poorly lit areas have been associated with increased crime rates, including vandalism and theft. Insufficient lighting can also lead to accidents as visibility is compromised at night. Residents in the Mont Cliff Way and Barcelona Drive areas have expressed concerns regarding insufficient lighting at night. This lack of visibility has been linked to incidents of mailbox vandalism, which has further heightened concern among residents.
The Public Work Director and the City Engineer visited the Barcelona Drive area and confirmed that there was a lack of lighting in this area. Public Works staff have replaced fixtures with additional lumen in the Mont Cliff Way area close to Winton Parkway before, however that has not resolved the issue.
The Public Works Director and the City Engineer also visited the Mont Cliff area and found that there is an opportunity to address the issues by installing solar street lighting.
On April 16, 2024, City Council approved the purchase of six solar light poles from Fonroche Lighting America to be installed at the City Hall parking lot. Given the successful implementation and positive outcome associated with the initial purchase, we propose to procure additional solar lights from Fonroche Lighting America. We intend to install eight solar light poles along Main Street starting from D St. to Park St, three solar light poles on Mont Cliff Way and two solar light poles on Barcelona Drive.
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 104 of 401
least four affirmative votes; and/or (C) Available from only one source. Sole source must be adequately justified.
SOLE SOURCE:
Fonroche Lighting America meets sole source criteria justification due to being the only manufacturer in the World who has developed extremely robust 10–12-year NiMH battery technology and can guarantee reliability performance every night of year through localized solar studies and system sizing.
They are the only manufacturers with a large base of installed lights on tower control feedback, providing more than 7 million data points of monitoring feedback, all for continuous reliability improvements. They are also the only manufacturer in the world doing climate chamber testing confirming system reliability and robustness.
To address the safety concerns associated with poor lighting, it is recommended that the City Council approve the purchase of thirteen streetlight poles from Fonroche Lighting America. These light poles will be strategically installed in the areas identified as poorly lit, enhancing visibility and deterrence against criminal activities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$74,627.00 will be expended from the approved fiscal year 2025/2026 budget from the Community Facilities District (CFD) 2005-1 Fund (1213-475-4965).

The global leader in solar lighting
Fonroche Lighting America is proud to be part of Fonroche Lighting, the global leader in off-grid solar street lighting. The deep resources and broader scope of an established market leader lets us take solar lighting even further, from the State Treasury in Salem, Oregon to the West African Republic of Senegal. Over 150,000 Fonroche Smartlight systems have been deployed worldwide.
With five offices in the USA and installations across the country, Fonroche is never far away. Some solution providers enter the solar lighting market-then move on. We're a reliable partner that sticks around. You get the responsive support and smart answers that you need now-and the confidence that we'll be here for you far in the future. And we can take on projects of any size, from local to national. That's why so many municipalities, military and federal facilities, tribes, commercial properties, and developers trust us to deliver the full promise of solar lighting.
Feasibility of your solar lighting project
To guarantee powerful, cost-effective off-grid lighting, Fonroche operates its own design offices.
We assess the feasibility of each project in four stages:
1. First, we define your lighting requirements.
2. Next, we analyze the last 10 years of local weather
data to determine how much energy our PV panels
will generate.
3. On this basis, we calculate what size and how
many products we need to install.
4. Finally, our sales team draws up a cost estimate.

Rightsized to your specific needs
Simulation of product(s) over
a typical year
Our teams have developed a solar sizing
software application, which we use to
determine which products will best meet your
needs. We then simulate how these products
operate over a typical year, based on the
average conditions for the last decade.
Results
Based on our experience, we propose the
optimal solution in terms of lighting
performance and cost effectiveness.
FONJ:lOCHE:
lighting AMERICA
10-Year Analysis of local
weather data
We use the PVsyst software suite and Meteonorm
historical time series irradiation data to calculate the real-world operating conditions - orientation and
tilt angle of the panel, shadow, etc. - and external
parameters, such as direct and diffuse irradiation,
temperature and the solar calendar.
Sizing the project to your needs
We use a set of key criteria to optimally specify your
project:
• Average battery charge level over the year
• Minimum charge level
• Comparative analysis of energy generated by the
panel vs. energy used by the system
• Worst-case scenario (lowest irradiation, longest
night)

Long product service life and component recyclability are key aspects of Fonroche Lighting's environmental commitments.
Our solar streetlights are over 90% recyclable.
Unlike lead-acid batteries, NiMH batteries do not contain any toxic chemicals. They are 98% recyclable - the nickel is extracted and used to make various materials, mostly stainless steel.
The solar panels have an extremely long service life. Even after 25 years, they will still be producing at least 80% of their initial peak power. So they can continue to be used. Alternatively, about 96% of their component materials can be recycled to make new panels.

The global leader in solar lighting
Fonroche Lighting America is proud to be part of Fonroche Lighting, the global leader in off-grid solar street lighting. The deep resources and broader scope of an established market leader lets us take solar lighting even further, from the State Treasury in Salem, Oregon to the West African Republic of Senegal. Over 150,000 Fonroche Smart Light systems have been deployed worldwide.
With five offices in the USA and installations across the country, Fonroche is never far away. Some solution providers enter the solar lighting market-then move on. We're a reliable partner that sticks around. You get the responsive support and smart answers that you need now-and the confidence that we'll be here for you far in the future. And we can take on projects of any size, from local to national. That's why so many municipalities, military and federal facilities, tribes, commercial properties, and developers trust us to deliver the full promise of solar lighting.
Feasibility of your solar lighting project
~ A FONJ:lOCHE
\t_3I ligh ing AMERICA
To guarantee powerful, cost-effective off-grid lighting, Fonroche operates its own design offices.
We assess the feasibility of each project in four stages:
1. First, we define your lighting requirements.
2. Next, we analyze the last 10 years of local weather
data to determine how much energy our PV panels
will generate.
3. On this basis, we calculate what size and how
many products we need to install.
4. Finally, our sales team draws up a cost estimate.

1 Project
Simulation of product{s) over
a typical year
Our teams have developed a solar sizing
software application, which we use to
determine which products will best meet your
needs. We then simulate how these products
operate over a typical year, based on the
average conditions for the last decade.
Results
Based on our experience, we propose the
optimal solution in terms of lighting
performance and cost effectiveness.
&A, FONqOCH~ \!_31 I ghting AMERICA
1 Study
10-Year Analysis of local
weather data
We use the PVsyst software suite and Meteonorm
historical time series irradiation data to calculate the real-world operating conditions - orientation and
tilt angle of the panel, shadow, etc. - and external
parameters, such as direct and diffuse irradiation,
temperature and the solar calendar.
Sizing the project to your needs
We use a set of key criteria to optimally specify your
project:
• Average battery charge level over the year
• Minimum charge level
• Comparative analysis of energy generated by the
panel vs. energy used by the system
• Worst-case scenario (lowest irradiation, longest
night)

This agreement included provisions for Holt of California to conduct an annual Level 2 Preventive Maintenance (PM) service for the City's emergency generators. This initiative was crucial in ensuring that the generators are maintained properly and capable of functioning efficiently during emergencies.
Given the positive outcomes of the initial agreement and the continuous need for reliable emergency power solutions, staff propose to extend and enhance this maintenance strategy. Staff recommends entering into a comprehensive three-year agreement with Holt of California. This agreement will serve the vital purpose of regularly performing Level 2 PM services on all City emergency generators. This proactive approach will not only bolster the City's emergency preparedness but will also help in mitigating potential risks associated with generator failures during critical situations.
Emergency generators serve a crucial role in ensuring continuity of essential services during power outages, emergencies, or other unforeseen events. Here are some common uses of emergency generators for a city:
1. Emergency Services: Emergency generators are vital for powering critical services such as our fire station and police station. These facilities require uninterrupted power to operate life-saving equipment, communication systems, and lighting.
2. Water Treatment, Wastewater Treatment and Sanitary Lift Stations: Emergency generators are used to power water treatment plants and pumping stations to ensure access to clean water for residents during outages. Maintaining water supply is essential for public health and sanitation. 149 of 401
3. Communication Systems: Citywide communication systems, including emergency broadcast systems, dispatch centers, and telecommunications infrastructure, often rely on emergency generators to stay operational during power disruptions. This ensures effective coordination and dissemination of information during emergencies.
4. Government Buildings: Critical government buildings, including city halls, administrative offices, and essential services centers, use emergency generators to maintain operations during outages. This ensures that key municipal functions continue uninterrupted.
Overall, emergency generators play a vital role in sustaining essential services, protecting public safety, and ensuring resilience in the face of emergencies or power disruptions. They are a crucial component of urban infrastructure for maintaining continuity and supporting the well-being of residents.
