STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LIVINGSTON ADOPTING THE COMPREHENSIVE PAY
SCHEDULE ESTABLISHING THE STATE MANDATED
MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE FOR EMPLOYEES WORKING
WITHIN THE CITY OF LIVINGSTON EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1,
2026
MEETING DATE: December 2, 2025
PREPARED BY: Arcelia Cruz, Human Resources Coordinator
APPROVED BY: Jose Antonio Ramirez, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution establishing a City of Livingston Comprehensive Pay Schedule confirming rates/ranges for all City of Livingston established positions and updating the salary for the applicable classifications to conform to the state mandated minimum wage increase that will be effective January 1, 2026.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The City Council approves all salary schedules which include classification titles and pay rates/ranges at the time a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for each bargaining unit is approved; when updates to the Employment and Benefit Policies for Unrepresented Employees are approved; or when specific wage and classification title adjustments are needed. Also, in order to confirm that the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) will appropriately consider City of Livingston employee compensation earnable when calculating retirement benefits, the City of Livingston’s Comprehensive Pay Schedule is required to be formally adopted by the City Council in a public meeting.
The City of Livingston’s Comprehensive Pay Schedule will now reflect California’s minimum wage increase to be made effective January 1, 2026.
Section 1182.12 of the State of California Labor Code specifically increases the minimum wage rate for all industries based on certain determinations. One of the protections of the minimum wage law is an annual review of the wage rate using the United States Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (U.S. CPI-W). The California Department of Finance has calculated that the U.S. CPI-W increased by 2.49 percent for Item 6.3
14 of 113
the period from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, compared to the prior 12-month period. As a result, pursuant to section 1182.12(c), the minimum wage shall increase by 2.49 percent to $16.90 per hour and shall be implemented for all employers on January 1, 2026.
Resolution has been prepared to implement the minimum wage increase effective January 1, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Increased costs were budgeted for in the approved budget for Fiscal Year 2025/2026.

WHEREAS, Staff recommends that the City Council approves and adopts the Comprehensive Pay Schedule confirming rates/ranges for all City of Livingston established positions and updating the salary for the applicable classifications to conform to the state mandated minimum wage increase that will be effective January 1, 2026; and WHEREAS, California Labor Code section 1182.12(c) requires that on or before August 1 st of each year, the California Director of Finance shall calculate the adjusted minimum wage to be the lesser of 3.5 percent or the rate of change, as specified, for the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics non-seasonally adjusted United States Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (U.S. CPI-W); and
WHEREAS, the California Director of Finance calculated that the U.S. CPI-W increased by 2.49 percent for the period from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, compared to the prior 12- month period; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to section 1182.12(c), the California Director of Finance has determined that the California minimum wage shall increase by 2.49 percent to $16.90 per hour, and shall be implemented for all employers on January 1, 2026.
WHEREAS, the state minimum wage rate effective January 1, 2026, increases from $16.50 per hour to $16.90 per hour. Proposed Comprehensive Pay Schedule increases applicable classifications to ensure the hourly rate is equal to or greater than $16.90 per hour.

1. Adopts the City of Livingston Comprehensive Pay Schedule, EXHIBIT “A” attached hereto and made a part herein.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the renewal of the Zetron Connected Care service contract for a five-year term with Telepath Corporation, at a cost of $30,496.45 for renewal of the service contract,to ensure continued support and maintenance of the City’s mission-critical communications systems.
BACKGROUND:
The Livingston Police Department utilizes Zetron communications systems to support public safety operations. These systems are essential for dispatch, emergency response coordination, and maintaining reliable communication across departments. The current service agreement for Zetron Connected Care is nearing expiration, and a renewal is necessary to maintain uninterrupted support and system performance. The Zetron system is the main radio control software that Dispatch utilizes to control communications between Dispatch and officers in the field and is managed at the Dispatch console.
Zetron’s Connected Care plan provides comprehensive coverage including hardware and software warranties, technical support, training, and system upgrades. Telepath Corporation, a long-standing provider of mission-critical solutions, has submitted a quote for a five-year renewal of this service.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed five-year contract includes annual maintenance services for Zetron systems, with coverage spanning hardware repairs, software updates, technical support, and training. Key benefits of the Connected Care plan include:
• Hardware Services: Warranty coverage, defect repairs, and advance replacement of components.
• Software Services: Regular service packs, upgrades, and version management. • Technical Support: Business hours and emergency after-hours phone support.

• Year 5: $6,912.53

he pricing is exempt from tax and includes all services outlined in the Statement of Work.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The total fiscal impact of the five-year Zetron Connected Care service contract is $30,496.45 for the full five-year coverage. This amount is tax-exempt and will be allocated from the Department’s operating budget, Account # 1100-102-4310 (Contract Services) and will be funded with salary savings from the current operating budget (Account # 1100-102-4110).

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Authorize the purchase of a Spartan Gladiator MFD Type 1 Pumper From Hi-Tech thru HGAC Buy and authorize City Manager to sign the purchase agreement.
MEETING DATE: December 2, 2025
PREPARED BY: Jose Antonio Ramirez – City Manager
REVIEWED BY: Jose Antonio Ramirez – City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign a purchase agreement for a Spartan Gladiator MFD Type 1 Pumper from Hi-Tech for $1,236,985.58 and authorize supplemental appropriations from Funds funding the purchase.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The fire station operates multiple pieces of apparatus, some of which are owned by Merced County.
The last engine purchased by the City of Livingston was placed in service in 2001 and is in need of replacement. Given this, and the transition from fire protection provided by Cal-Fire through Merced County to City of Livingston’s own fire department, it is imperative that a new fire truck be acquired.
To prepare for the replacement and possible removal of Merced County apparatus upon change in fire service providers, the City of Livingston Fire Department formed a committee to develop updated specifications for a new Engine. The committee used the specifications from the engine purchased in 2001 as a base and made modifications to address current operational needs and forecast future operational requirements. This approach ensures consistency within the fleet while incorporating necessary improvements.
It is recommended that the City of Livingston proceed with the acquisition of a Hi-Tech Emergency Vehicle purchase thru HGAC Buy cooperative purchasing program Contract #FS12-23 and Product/Specifications #HTSM45M12575. Numerous Bay Area fire agencies have widely adopted this purchase program/specifications due to its proven performance, operational reliability, and superior design, which is well-suited to regional response conditions.
Hi-Tech Emergency Vehicle, headquartered in Oakdale, California, provides both manufacturing and full-service maintenance support within proximity to Livingston. This local capability ensures responsive service, minimized apparatus downtime, and long-term operational sustainability, factors that strongly support a sole-source justification when considering life-cycle maintenance, warranty response times, and service continuity. The Item 6.5
35 of 113
new engine will be the first-out for the department and the replaced engine will be used as backup.
The Fire Engine will be purchased from Hi-Tech through HGAC BUY contract #FS-12-23 product/specification #HTSM45M12575 HGAC BUY follows the competitive contracting law process to solicit, evaluate and award cooperative purchasing contracts for goods and services. Procurement through HGAC BUY will leverage and is in accordance with City of Livingston Municipal Code Section 1-11-4 “Delegation Of Purchasing Authority” where the City may join with the state and other units of government in cooperative purchasing plans when the best interest of the City would be served.
There are different pricing options offered in the proposal: They are as follows:

$1,242,423.08 $1,236,985.58 $1,228,829.33 $1,222,304.33 Savings - $5,000.00 $12,500.00 $18,500.00
Given the sensitive nature of having the fire apparatus as soon as possible, staff recommends using the “Pre-Pay Chassis At Chassis Delivery”. This option offers savings of $5,000. Hi-Tech representatives have communicated that this option provides the City with a shorter delivery window. The estimated delivery time is slated at 24 months. City of Livingston is HGAC member # 2562.
FISCAL IMPACT:
For ease of processing staff recommends using the “Pre-Pay Chasis At Chasis Delivery” option and paying initially from the General Fund. The General Fund would then be reimbursed from Measure L, Fire Impact Fees, Fleet Replacement Funds, fire portion of CFD’s and property tax County currently receives for fire services.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Adopt a Resolution Ratifying the City of Livingston’s Submission and Ranking of Candidate Projects for the 2025 MCAG “Call for Projects” for the Measure V Regional Projects Funding Applications
MEETING DATE: December 2, 2025
PREPARED BY: Noe Martinez, PE, Gouveia Engineering
APPROVED BY: Jose Antonio Ramirez, City Manager
Anthony Chavarria, Public Works Director
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025 ____ ratifying the City of Livingston’s submission and ranking of candidate projects for the 2025 Merced County Association of Governments (”MCAG”) “Call for Projects” for the Measure V Regional Projects Funding Applications.
BACKGROUND:
On November 2016, the Merced County voters approved Measure V, a ½ cent transportation sales tax over the next 30 years to fund transportation improvement projects within the County of Merced. The Measure V funds are to be spent on the categories 1) Regional Projects, 2) Local Projects, 3) Alternative Modes Projects, 4) Transit, and 5) Administration.
This 30-year transportation measure is anticipated to generate a total of approximately $450 million. 44% of the funds will be allocated to Regional Projects, 50% for Local Projects, 20% for Alternative Modes, 5% for Transit, and 1% for Administration.
The funds for Regional Projects will be split amongst two groups of cities divided by the San Joaquin River. 27% of the Regional Projects allocation ($121.5 million) must be spent on projects east of the San Joaquin River and 17% ($76.5 million) must be spent on projects west of the San Joaquin River.
The Merced County Association of Governments (MCAG) has developed Measure V Regional Projects Policies (see attached) for awarding and implementing funded projects. For funding applications, MCAG has developed eligibility criteria that require projects to 1) be located on the State Highway System, Regional Road System or Regional Transportation System, 2) be classified as Minor Collector per the California Item 6.6
68 of 113
Road System Map, 3) benefits more than one jurisdiction, 4) consists of a mass transit project, and 5) is determined as a regional project by vote from the Regional Project Committee.
A Regional Project Committee was created to recommend regional projects for each group of eastside and westside cities. The committees consist of a Council Member from each city and a County Supervisor whose district includes each respective city. The MCAG Governing Board has the authority to approve the recommendations made by the selection committees.
DISCUSSION:
On September 3, 2025, MCAG issued a “Call for Projects” for candidate regional projects eligible for Measure V regional funding. The deadline for the regional project applications was October 3, 2025, which did not leave City staff with enough time to return applications with Council approval. City staff prepared and ranked project applications (see attached) that would meet the funding requirements per MCAG’s Measure V Regional Projects Policies and would provide the most competitive candidate projects for the City of Livingston. The projects listed below were submitted by the October 3rd deadline on behalf of the City.
The Measure V Program is currently in its 8th year of revenue, and it’s anticipated to generate $84,426,85 for eastside regional projects up to the FY 29/30 Funding Cycle.
Previous “Call for Projects” have already encumbered funding up to the FY 27/28 Funding Cycle. This “Call for Projects” intends to award funding from the next two years (FY 28/29 – FY 29/30) estimated at $13,687,832 and as determined from the attached Measure V East Side Project Programming Report.
Similar to previous “Call for Projects”, candidate projects that provide leverage funding would be more competitive for Measure V regional funding awards. The leverage funds would come from local eligible funding sources such as Measure V Local Funds, SB 1, Local Transportation Fund (LTF), and Transportation Development Act (TDA) Fund.
Due to the number of projects submitted and limited funding available, MCAG is again seeking to prioritize projects as in past “Call for Projects.” Keeping in mind the projects that best fit the funding requirements and funding availability, City staff developed and ranked the following projects:
Priority: Project: Description:
1 North Main Street Rehabilitation This project would rehabilitate the pavement on the North Main
Street/Livingston Cressey Way corridor.
Rehabilitation improvements would begin
at the intersection of North Main Street
and Campbell Boulevard continuing North
to the intersection of Olive Avenue. The
improvements would include non-capacity
Item 6.6
69 of 113
increasing roadway rehabilitation
treatments to the existing roadway.
2 Main & Davis St Traffic Signal
Reconfiguration
This project would evaluate the
intersection of Main St/Livingston Cressey
Way and Davis Street for improvements to
increase pedestrian safety and improve
intersection operation. The existing
intersection is a signal-controlled
intersection. The Main Street legs have
two lanes of through traffic in each
direction along with a left turn pocket.
Davis Street has a single through lane in
each direction with a dedicated right turn
lane on the eastern leg in front of the gas
station. The proposed Project Study
Report would evaluate the existing
intersection condition and propose
improvements to the signal and lane
configuration to benefit the operation of
the intersection.
3 Winton Parkway Rehabilitation This project includes a roadway rehabilitation project for one of the City of
Livingston’s most heavily traveled
commercial activity centers. There are two
components: (1) Funded Project Scope:
Pavement rehabilitation on Winton
Parkway from the SR-99 southbound
off/on ramps (North Limit) to 200 LF +/-
South of the Joseph Gallo Court
intersection (South Limit) and pavement
rehabilitation of Joseph Gallo Court from
the East side of the intersection of Winton
Parkway (West Limits) to the cul-de-sac
end (East Limits) and (2) The City
proposes to expand the pavement
rehabilitation limits to include the section
of Winton Parkway from Joseph Gallo
Court (limits of funded project) to B Street
(Proposed South Limit) and to expand the
West Limits to include Joseph Gallo Drive
from the intersection (limits of funded
project) to Del Rio Avenue (Proposed
West Limits). The expanded scope would
nearly double the treated area.

Measure V Regional Project Policies - 1
Measure V Regional Projects Policies
Adopted April 15, 2021
Applicability
These policies and procedures apply only to the “Regional Projects” category identified in the Measure V Expenditure Plan, which consists of an East side share (27%) and a West side share (17%).
Funding Agreements
Each Regional Project shall have a Funding Agreement between MCAG and the implementing agency, specifying the scope, cost, and schedule of the project, and the terms of reimbursement.
Regional Projects – Criteria
The Measure V Expenditure Plan provides qualifying factors and examples of Regional Project types. See the end of this document, which excerpts the “Regional Projects” section from the Measure V Expenditure Plan, pages 6-7. o Projects on the State Highway system or the Regional Road System or the Regional Transportation System defined by MCAG are Regional Projects. The following additional criteria are intended to ensure regional benefits:
o Road projects must be located entirely on roadways that are classified above “Minor Collector”. This functional classification is shown on the California Road System (CRS) map, as approved by the Federal Highway Administration. o A project “located in, or directly benefitting, more than one jurisdiction” must have resolutions of support from all involved jurisdictions’ governing bodies. o A mass transit project, including intercity bus, passenger rail, or air transportation, will require a memorandum of understanding between the jurisdiction and the transit provider prior to programming unless the jurisdiction owns the assets in the project (e.g. airport projects, train stations, bus maintenance facilities). The respective Regional Project Committee may determine by a vote that a project is regional based upon particular factors. This is not a vote to program a project for funding.
Regional Project Committee (RPC) Meetings
There are two Regional Project Committees: the East side Regional Projects Committee and the West side Regional Projects Committee. Their purpose is to recommend projects for Measure V funding to the MCAG Governing Board.
RPC meetings will be held on an as-needed basis during the preparation of the regular Implementation Plan update which occurs every two years, at a minimum.
Item 6.6
74 of 113
Measure V Regional Project Policies - 2
Additional RPC meetings in-between Implementation Plan updates will be set on a quarterly schedule with the option to add more meetings as necessary at the Executive Director’s discretion.
All project forms and amendments must be submitted in a timely manner to MCAG staff in order to provide the respective RPC members a thirty-day review period. A technical working group may be convened by an RPC at any time to assist with technical evaluations of regional projects.
Implementation Plan Updates
The Expenditure Plan states that at a minimum of once every two years, MCAG will prepare and adopt an Implementation Plan. The first was adopted in 2018 as a two-year plan and it was updated in 2019.
Future updates will be in odd-numbered years: 2021, 2023, and so on. An Implementation Plan update will consist of:
o A staff report to the MCAG Governing Board outlining a schedule for the update, any policy or procedure changes for consideration, and an analysis of financial capacity. o MCAG Governing Board approves the schedule, any policy updates, and may release a Call for Projects/Amendments, with a goal of releasing it by February 1. o RPC Committees review submitted project proposals and make recommendations for projects, and set-aside categories, if any, to the Governing Board. o Governing Board approves RPC recommendations, receives the draft Implementation Plan Update, and schedules public hearings to review the Plan. o Public Hearings are held.
o Governing Board approves the Implementation Plan update.
Implementation Plan Mid-Cycle Progress Report
Each even numbered-year, starting in 2022, MCAG staff, working with the jurisdictions, will prepare a progress report to the Governing Board summarizing:
o All regional projects’ implementation status and expenditure status. o An analysis of the Measure V financial plan outlook, considering programmed expenditures, actual expenditures, forecasted revenue, and actual revenue.
Implementation Plan Amendments
A jurisdiction or implementing agency may request a change to a programmed Regional Measure V project via an amendment to the Implementation Plan. Such a request may be for additional funding or to shift funding between phases of a project. Jurisdiction staff must prepare a request and supporting documentation. Administrative Amendments
o Administrative amendments to increase the cost of a project may be made at the Executive Director’s discretion if:
Item 6.6
75 of 113
Measure V Regional Project Policies - 3
The change in cost is up to 20% of the total project cost, and the change in cost does not exceed $500,000.
Sufficient funds exist in the applicable share or contingency reserve fund. o Administrative amendments to transfer cost savings from a completed regional project to another regional project being implemented by the same agency may be made at the Executive Director’s discretion.
o A subsequent amendment to the same project will be a formal amendment. o Approved administrative amendments will be presented at the next Regional Projects Committee meeting and Governing Board as informational items. Formal Amendments
o Formal amendments will be reviewed at the next appropriate Regional Project Committee meeting following a thirty-day review period. o The applying agency is responsible to make any presentations or answer questions. o If the Regional Project Committee approves the formal amendment, a public review process will be provided, and the recommended amendment will be sent to the Governing Board for final approval.
Additional funding will be reimbursable but cannot be paid out until the funding agreement amendment has been fully executed.
Project Requirements – Call for Projects and Amendment Requests For any regional project that a jurisdiction or implementing agency proposes, their submission must include the following:
o Completed Regional Project Candidate Form
o Council or Board Resolution outlining their project priorities by tier or ranking o Map of the project location
o (Multi-jurisdiction projects only) Resolution of support from all involved jurisdictions’ governing bodies
Cost Savings and Leveraging incentive
If the amount programmed and allocated exceeds the project implementation costs, up to 20% of cost savings may be kept by the jurisdiction for potential change orders and other unforeseen circumstances.
Alternatively, cost savings may be transferred from one regional project to another via an administrative or formal amendment to the Implementation Plan (see above). Jurisdictions that successfully leverage competitive non-local, non-regional, State or federal funding may have their Regional Measure V savings programmed to another regional project in their jurisdiction.
Excess funding exceeding 20% must be returned to the appropriate regional fund.
Item 6.6
76 of 113
Measure V Regional Project Policies - 4
Programming and Allocation
New regional projects starting with those to be programmed in 2021 shall be programmed by project phase.
Projects in excess of one million dollars in total project cost will require a completed Project Study Report to be considered for programming.
o Road maintenance and rehabilitation projects are exempt. If a project requires Right-of-Way acquisition the project must have submitted proof of CEQA clearance, and NEPA clearance for all federalized projects, prior to programming that phase or Construction.
Right-of-Way acquisition will not be programmed until Environmental and Design have been completed.
Construction will not be programmed until Environmental, Design, and Right-of-Way acquisition have been completed.
Prior to programming for Construction, the project must have proof of full Right-of-Way acquisition and complete utility and/or railroad agreements. o Projects over one million dollars must submit a construction financing strategy. Should a planned project become infeasible or unfundable due to unforeseen circumstances, funding may be applied to another project in the same jurisdiction with approval of the Regional Projects Committee and the Governing Board.
Advance and Reserve Funds
Advance Funds
o East Side and West Side Advance Funds may be created by the Governing Board to use a Regional Project Share’s unprogrammed funds and/or a set-aside to provide up-front funding to an implementing agency for a Regional Project. Up-front funding for a project shall be limited to a 90-day revolving window of operating cash and not exceed 20% of the total. All expenditure reporting requirements will still apply. Contingency Reserve
o Up to 5% of the annual Measure V Regional Projects revenue for each share may be saved in respective reserve funds – the East side and West side Regional Projects reserve funds.
o Additionally, revenue from generated interest and from project cost savings that are returned to the respective share will be placed in the contingency reserve. o The reserve fund may be used for providing funding capacity in years with lower than projected revenue or for project cost overruns, at the discretion of the Governing Board.
Project Development Reserve
o 5% of annual Measure V revenue may be saved in a Project Development reserve fund. This fund is for the purpose of funding larger projects to complete their Project Study Report.

1. Regional Projects – 44% of total
If $450 million is collected over 30 years, then $198 million will be available for Regional Projects - $121.5 million on the Eastside and $76.5 million on the Westside.
Forty-four percent (44%) of the funds will be allocated to this category. 27% of the total is for an Eastside share, to be spent on projects east of the San Joaquin River.
17% of the total is for a Westside share, to be spent on projects west of the San Joaquin River.
The dividing line between Eastside and Westside shares is the San Joaquin River. Two committees will be created to recommend projects:
The Eastside Regional Projects Committee will consist of one council person from each City that includes area east of the San Joaquin River and each County Supervisor whose district includes area east of the River. The Westside Regional Projects Committee will consist of one council person from each City that includes area west of the San Joaquin River and each County Supervisor whose district includes area west of the River.
As the Local Transportation Authority overseeing the funds, the Governing Board of Merced County Association of Governments has the authority to approve recommendations made by the Regional Projects Committees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the MCAG Governing Board shall not approve a project that has not been recommended by a Regional Projects Committee.
Regional Projects must be listed in the applicable Regional Transportation Plan, which is updated every four years and can be amended as needed. These projects provide for the movement of goods, services, and people throughout Merced County. Projects on the State Highway system or the Regional Road System or the Regional Transportation System defined by MCAG are Regional Projects. Projects located in or directly benefitting more than one jurisdiction are Regional Projects.
Examples of Regional Projects include but are not limited to:
Improving highway and freeways
Adding lanes to projects on the Regional Road System
Improvements on the Regional Transportation System
Passenger Rail
Bus Rapid Transit
Regional bikeways and trails
Improvements to Regional Airports
Transportation Demand Management benefitting more than one jurisdiction, such as vanpools and ridesharing.
Funds can be used for all phases of project development and implementation. In some cases, other sources of funding will also be used for these projects, for example State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funds.

Project Merits
Describe how the project meets the following criteria. You may expand on the sample questions in each category to include applicable information for your project:
Fundability
How do you expect to fully fund the project? Are you leveraging other fund types? Improvements to the Main Street corridor have been phased into segments. The proposed project is the northern segment. The City is requesting $3,787,300 to fund the design and construction of the proposed improvements.
Connectivity
Does your project have Complete Streets/Active Transportation components, or does it create regional connections?
This project will maintain the existing regional connectivity of Main Street/Livingston Cressey Way.
This corridor connects the City to the unincorporated community of Cressey and connects to the Santa Fe corridor.
Reduce Emissions
Will the project result in a reduction in Vehicle Miles Traveled or Single-Occupancy Vehicle use? This project is a pavement rehabilitation project and will not have a reduction of VMT or Single Occupancy Vehicle use. There may be minor emissions reductions that would occur from providing a smooth travel surface which provides a more consistent traffic movement pattern through the project area.
Safety
How does the project improve safety?
By providing a rebuilt structural section for the roadway the undulation that currently exists will be replaced with a smooth surface reducing the potential for vehicular conflicts with other motorists, bicyclists, or pedestrians. Additionally, safety will be increased by enhancements to the crosswalk striping utilizing high visibility markings in place of just limit lines.
Asset Management
Describe how the project protects, maintains, or improves existing transportation assets.
The construction of this project will extend the roadway’s useful life.
Economic Development
How will your project support the local (or larger-scale) economy? This project supports the movement of goods through the region as it is a key access point for trucking to and from Foster Farms. Deliveries and shipping use this corridor to access SR-99 and the facility.
Community Support
Describe community engagement involved in the development of this project or project selection.
The community continually vocalizes its support for projects that improve the transportation facilities within the City’s existing infrastructure.

Describe how the project meets the following criteria. You may expand on the sample questions in each category to include applicable information for your project:
Fundability
How do you expect to fully fund the project? Are you leveraging other fund types? The City is actively seeking funds for evaluating this intersection for improvement. Completing this PSR will allow the City to identify funding mechanisms (Measure V, CMAQ, etc.) to fund the selected project alternative.
Connectivity
Does your project have Complete Streets/Active Transportation components, or does it create regional connections?
Improvements that would be identified for implementation into this intersection will improve community accessibility to commercial activity centers adjacent to the intersection. Active Transportation Improvements identified in the MLRSP would be incorporated into the selected project alternative.
Reduce Emissions
Will the project result in a reduction in Vehicle Miles Traveled or Single-Occupancy Vehicle use? Increasing the efficiency of the intersection will result in emissions reductions. These reductions would be in the form of less idle time while waiting for the signal to change. These reductions can be accounted for once improvements for the intersection are identified.
Safety
How does the project improve safety?
Examining the SWITRS database for the past 10 years this intersection has seen a number of accidents including at least 2 that involved pedestrians. One of the pedestrian accidents resulted in a pedestrian fatality. The MLRSP identified this intersection for curb ramp improvements to increase safety and accessibility. As part of the examination of the intersection and the selection of possible improvements, intersection crossing safety will be one of the main factors that is evaluated.
Asset Management
Describe how the project protects, maintains, or improves existing transportation assets.
The PSR will identify improvements that will expand the intersections useful life and allow continued efficient operation.
Economic Development
How will your project support the local (or larger-scale) economy? This project supports the movement of goods through the region as it is a part of a key access corridor for trucking to and from Foster Farms.
Community Support
Describe community engagement involved in the development of this project or project selection.
The community continually vocalizes its support for projects that improve the safety of transportation facilities within the City’s existing infrastructure.

Additional Information:
Regional Transportation System: Refer to Chapter 3 in the 2022 RTP/SCS. Example projects include carpool, vanpool, or active transportation projects that connect urban areas and other major activity centers. Facilities that are not included in the regional transportation system are considered to primarily serve local transportation needs.
Regional Roadway System: The regional roadway system consists of State and Interstate Highways, as well as local routes which connect urban areas and other major activity centers. Facilities that are not included in the regional road system are considered to primarily serve local transportation needs. *Projects located in, or directly benefitting more than one jurisdiction: Road projects must be located entirely on roadways that are classified above “Minor Collector.” This functional classification is shown on the California Road System (CRS) map, as approved by the Federal Highway Administration, which can be found here:
https://caltrans.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=026e830c914c495797c969a3e5668538 Additionally, projects in this category require a resolution of support from all involved jurisdictions. **Mass Transit (Bus/Rail/Air): These projects require a resolution of support from the sponsor jurisdiction and the transit provider or infrastructure owner, unless the sponsor jurisdiction owns the infrastructure.

Project Description (or reason for project change)
Include project purpose, scope, limits, and current status. Project merits are discussed in the following pages and can be discussed in detail there. Attach additional pages if necessary.
This is a roadway rehabilitation project for one of the City of Livingston’s (City) most heavily traveled commercial activity centers.
Funded Project Scope: Pavement rehabilitation on Winton Parkway from the SR-99 southbound off/on ramps (North Limit) to 200 LF +/- South of the Joseph Gallo Court intersection (South Limit) and pavement rehabilitation of Joseph Gallo Court from the East side of the intersection of Winton Parkway (West Limits) to the cul-de-sac end (East Limits).
Expanded Project Scope: The City proposes to expand the pavement rehabilitation limits to include the section of Winton Parkway from Joseph Gallo Court (limits of funded project) to B Street (Proposed South Limit) and to expand the West Limits to include Joseph Gallo Drive from the intersection (limits of funded project) to Del Rio Avenue (Proposed West Limits). The expanded scope would nearly double the treated area.

Item 6.6
95 of 113
Project Merits
Describe how the project meets the following criteria. You may expand on the sample questions in each category to include applicable information for your project:
Fundability
How do you expect to fully fund the project? Are you leveraging other fund types? The City is requesting to expand the scope of the project and the allocation of additional construction funding in the amount of $ 1,473,000 to fund the expanded project scope. The existing PS&E funding will be used to fund the design of the funded scope as well as the expanded scope.
Connectivity
Does your project have Complete Streets/Active Transportation components, or does it create regional connections?
This project will maintain the existing regional connectivity of the Winton Parkway corridor to the City of Livingston.
Reduce Emissions
Will the project result in a reduction in Vehicle Miles Traveled or Single-Occupancy Vehicle use? This project is a pavement rehabilitation project and will not have a reduction of VMT or Single Occupancy Vehicle use. There may be minor emissions reductions that would occur from providing a smooth travel surface which provides a more consistent traffic movement pattern through the project area.
Safety
How does the project improve safety?
By providing a rebuilt structural section for the roadway the undulation that currently exists will be replaced with a smooth surface reducing the potential for vehicular conflicts with other motorists, bicyclists, or pedestrians. Additionally, safety will be increased by enhancements to the crosswalk striping utilizing high visibility markings in place of just limit lines.
Asset Management
Describe how the project protects, maintains, or improves existing transportation assets.
The Winton Parkway roadway segment has a PCI rating of 27 (2018) and the Joseph Gallo Court has a PCI rating of 38 (2018). The existing roadway has continued to deteriorate. Construction of this project will address this deterioration and increase the City’s overall PCI rating.
Economic Development
How will your project support the local (or larger-scale) economy? The project improvements reside in one of the City’s larger commerce areas. It is surrounded by gas stations, truck stops, fast food restaurants, and the City’s largest supermarket. The Winton Parkway exit is home to several truck stops frequented by long-haul trucking companies moving goods up and down SR-99. Improvements to this area would positively affect the local economy by improving access to the various establishments in the area and reducing potential sales tax leakage to neighboring cities. This project would also attract commuters to an aesthetically pleasing road network.
Item 6.6

Community Support
Describe community engagement involved in the development of this project or project selection.
This project has been presented to the community on multiple occasions at City Council Meetings.
During the Winton parkway ramp widening project, a previously completed Measure V funded project, the public expressed a desire for the pavement within this area to be rehabilitated. The community expressed its support for the project.
Other Information
This project was originally conceived as part of the Winton Parkway Southbound Onramp project improvements but due to the complexity of that project, it was separated out for development into its own project.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2017-1 (PUBLIC SERVICES), ANNEXATION NO. 4
MEETING DATE: December 2, 2025
PREPARED BY: Willdan Financial Services
REVIEWED BY: Jose A. Ramirez, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Hold public hearing to annex property into Community Facilities District No. 2017-1 (Public Services) (the “CFD”), Annexation No. 4 to pay for the impact of new development on public services, including the maintenance of streets, drainage, parks, public landscape areas, and to maintain service levels for police and fire protection services provided by the City of Livingston (the “City”).
It is recommended that the City Council hold the public hearing and adopt:
Resolution of the City Council of the City of Livingston Annexing of Territory to a Community Facilities District, Authorizing the Levy of a Special Tax, and Submitting Levy of Tax to Qualified Electors, City of Livingston Community Facilities District No. 2017-1 (Public Services) Annexation No. 4; and
Resolution of the City Council of the City of Livingston Declaring Results of a Special Annexation Election, Determining Validity of Prior Proceedings, and Directing Recording of Amended Notice of Special Tax Lien, City of Livingston Community Facilities District No. 2017-1 (Public Services) Annexation No. 4
The recommended actions will annex property into the CFD pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, being Chapter 2.5, Part 1, Division 2, Title 5 of the Government Code of the State of California as amended, for the purpose of financing the impact of new development on public services, including the maintenance of streets, drainage, parks, public landscape areas, and to maintain service levels for police and fire protection services.
BACKGROUND
By Resolution No. 2018-20, the City Council established the CFD with the intention that future development within the City would annex into this CFD. The special taxes collected from the property owners within the CFD are to be used for the funding of maintenance of streets, drainage, parks, public landscape areas, and to maintain service levels for police and fire protection services due to new development in the City.
There is one project proposed for annexation. The detail for the project is as follows:
1. A development owned by Livingston B Street LP consisting of multifamily affordable housing on 3.95 acres of land. The project is located on B Street between Robin Ave and Item 7.1
102 of 113
F Street. The boundary of the annexation includes the area within assessor’s parcel numbers 022-010-021 and 022-010-023 as depicted on Exhibit A.
Development of these properties changes the characteristics of undeveloped land. Once developed, these projects will have intensified the use of the properties, creating a need for more services under this CFD.
The Resolution of Intention was adopted on October 21, 2025, which was the first step in the process of annexing new developments into the CFD. The resolution also established December 2, 2025, as the public hearing date for the final consideration of the annexation of the property into the CFD. Notice of public hearing was published in the newspaper and the property owners were notified by mail.
DISCUSSION
The adoption of the attached resolutions annexes the territory into CFD No. 2017-1 (Public Services), submits the levy of the special tax to the qualified electors, and declares the results of the special election. This is the final step in the annexation process; and since the conditions of approval for the development require it to annex into CFD No. 2017-1 (Public Services) and the developers own the parcels, a majority protest of the annexation is not anticipated.
Once the annexation is complete, the property owners of the Projects will be required to pay annual special taxes for CFD No. 2017-1 (Public Services), beginning in Fiscal Year 2026/2027 as itemized on their property tax bill in accordance with the rate set forth in the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The annual revenue received by the City for the CFD will be based on the maximum special tax rates outlined in the Amended Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax, inflated by the Annual Escalation Factor. The estimated revenue amount from the development projects, based on Fiscal Year 2025/26 maximum special tax rates, is $58,151 for a multi-family residential complex with 80 dwelling units. The process for the annexation is funded by the developers and no general fund monies are used for this effort.
