11 ITEM 7B
PUBLIC FORUM: MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC MAY ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL
MEMBERS ON ANY ITEM OF PUBLIC INTEREST THAT IS WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THE CITY; INCLUDES AGENDA AND NON-AGENDA ITEMS. NO ACTION WILL BE TAKEN ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS. SPEAKERS ARE LIMITED TO A FIVE (5) MINUTE PRESENTATION. DETAILED GUIDELINES ARE POSTED ON THE COUNCIL CHAMBER INFORMATIONAL TABLE. Mayor Amabile opened the public forum. SCOTT SILVEIRA, Merced County Supervisor, shared that Merced County is working on bringing official document services to the Westside at the Merced County Fairgrounds location, allowing residents to obtain items such as birth, death, and marriage certificates and file fictitious business names locally; the program is expected to begin one day per week with the goal of expanding to additional days based on demand. An UNNAMED PERSON spoke regarding the recent hazardous incident, highlighting gaps in information and expressing the need for timely and accurate communication to residents, and suggested the creation of a Community Emergency Response Team with training through FEMA. Another UNNAMED PERSON spoke on Item 13 regarding Council pay, stating that public office is a privilege and not a means to earn extra income, expressing concern over the lack of a clear justification for proposed raises, questioning the timing in light of the recent Pinheiro situation and payout, asking why the mayor would receive an increase immediately while councilmembers would not, why the item was placed at the end of the agenda, and requesting transparency, a clear plan for the City, disclosure of additional benefits, and a roll call vote. NATHAN ALZONO, PG&E representative, spoke about an upcoming press release announcing a reduction in the price per kilowatt hour as part of affordability efforts and expressed interest in returning to provide a more comprehensive update. An UNNAMED PERSON inquired about the opportunity to speak on Item 12. JAVIER POWELL, representing the Milliken Museum, reported on a successful lecture series, shared that related content is available online, and announced the upcoming Arbor Day Breakfast fundraiser to be held Friday at the Los Banos Community Center. BLANCHE JORGE, a downtown resident, followed up on a proposal to allow placement of a poster at the local airport encouraging pilots to transport shelter animals to rescues, praised staff efforts and ongoing rescue coordination, emphasized the importance of education, spay and neuter programs, and the need for additional veterinary services, and noted outreach efforts related to attracting veterinarians to local shopping centers, while expressing appreciation for progress in the City. MIGUEL ALEJANDRE requested that the City and County work together to improve emergency response communication, referencing the recent incident, noting difficulties with alert systems, and sharing that he had spoken with Cal Fire representatives, emphasizing the importance of public awareness before emergencies occur. City Clerk Mallonee read into the record an email from Julie Creighton regarding concerns with the recent ammonia leak response, including issues with the emergency notification system, delays in alerts, inconsistent communication, and a request for accountability and an after-action report. No one else came forward to speak and the public forum was closed.

PUBLIC HEARING – TO RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENT AND CONSIDERATION OF APPROVING FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN #2025-01 FOR THE OVERLAND TRAIL SUBDIVISION (STONEFIELD HOME INC.); CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 7059 – APPROVING FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN #2025-01 FOR THE OVERLAND TRAIL SUBDIVISON (STONEFIELD HOME, INC). Community Economic Development Director Souza Elms presented the staff report which included a PowerPoint presentation.
Mayor Amabile opened the public hearing. KATHY BALLARD inquired about the scope of the CEQA process and whether it includes consideration of local school capacity, noting concerns about limited availability at nearby schools, and also asked about the use of rolled curbs in combination with square curbs and whether this design could impact drainage. MARK TRAICH? expressed concerns regarding access and egress for emergency services, emphasizing that street design in the proposed subdivision should ensure adequate space for fire and police vehicles, and stated that this should be a top priority, particularly in light of challenges observed in nearby developments. ERASMO VIVEROS spoke about the City’s history of residential development, encouraging the use of lessons learned over the years to avoid repeating issues such as narrow roadways, insufficient parking, and design shortcomings, and suggested it would be beneficial to identify what has not worked in the past to guide future planning. BLANCHE JORGE expressed support for the architectural style of the homes, particularly the early Americana design, and recommended incorporating pet-friendly amenities into the subdivision, such as dog wash stations, built-in feeding areas, and kennel spaces, noting these could be optional upgrades for buyers and are already being implemented in other regions. REFUGIO LLAMAS raised concerns about emergency ingress and egress, the proximity of homes to sidewalks, and inquired about the availability of nearby parks for the development. MATTHEW ROGERS of Benchmark Engineering thanked staff for the presentation and addressed several public concerns, explaining that the project complies with City standards for street width, parking, emergency access, drainage, setbacks, and architectural consistency, noted coordination efforts regarding school capacity, and stated that certain amenities, including pet features, could be offered as options to homebuyers. MIGUEL ALEJANDRE, speaking from his experience in heating and cooling, suggested consideration of alternative materials such as concrete instead of asphalt for roadways in order to reduce heat retention and improve overall conditions for 13 residents and pets. No one else came forward to speak and the public hearing was closed.
Ms. Souza Elms addressed the width of the streets, noting that the new streets, at approximately 52 feet, significantly exceed older developments built to 32-foot standards, reflecting updated City design requirements to improve access, safety, and emergency vehicle circulation. She also clarified CEQA, explaining that impacts on schools, as well as police and fire services, were considered and mitigated through required fees and coordination with the school district. Regarding curbing, she noted that rolled curbs exist in the Presidential area and on State Streets, and the proposed subdivision’s combination of rolled and vertical curbs represents a pilot program balancing infrastructure functionality, ADA compliance, and aesthetic considerations requested by the applicant.
She also discussed lessons learned from past subdivisions, noting that the City is required to apply design standards objectively and cannot prohibit development, but can encourage desired design outcomes. Parks & Recreation Director Heim provided information on nearby parks, including Regency Lot D Park and other parks within a halfmile to one-mile radius, while noting constraints that limit adding a new park within the subdivision itself. Ms. Souza Elms stated that the use of concrete versus asphalt is governed by the City’s standards and specifications, with asphalt preferred for initial cost, repair ease, and housing affordability. Public Works Director Via added context regarding concrete’s greater durability but higher cost and more complex repairs, which can impact overall project feasibility. Mayor Amabile emphasized the City’s approach to balancing infrastructure, aesthetics, and affordability, highlighting the strategy of using development fees to fund both smaller pocket parks within subdivisions and larger regional parks for broader recreational opportunities. Mayor Amabile noted that this approach considers modern community needs, including walkability, safety, and recreational access for residents of all ages.
Council Member Lewis commented that narrower streets were a trend in California prior to the recession, noting that older streets in the area are 32 feet wide. She asked whether a fire truck could safely navigate the streets with parked vehicles. Mr. Via responded that the current design, with a 36-foot curb-to-curb width within a 52-foot right-of-way, provides sufficient space for emergency vehicles. City Manager Than added that the updated street standards meet safety requirements for both emergency access and everyday vehicle travel. Council Member Lewis noted that, in general, she has been in favor of rolled curbs, but only when there is public green space between the curb and the home.
She observed that in areas with rolled curbs, vehicles sometimes park on the sidewalk, creating hazards. She further noted that the new subdivision design appears to provide proper ingress and egress without dips in the curb, which improves pedestrian safety and accessibility.
Motion by Perez, seconded by Chavez to adopt City Council Resolution No. 7059 – Approving Final Development Plan #2025-01 for the Overland Trail Subdivision (Stonefield Homes, Inc.). The motion carried by the affirmative action of all Council Members present.
CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 7060 –
APPROVING AN APPLICATION FOR FUNDING AND THE EXECUTION OF A GRANT 14 AGREEMENT UP TO $3.6 MILLION AND ANY AMENDMENTS THERETO FROM THE 2025 FUNDING YEAR OF THE STATE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM FOR A TINY SHELTER VILLAGE. Community Economic Development Director Souza Elms presented the staff report, which included a PowerPoint presentation. Ms. Souza Elms spoke in more detail that the California Office of Housing and Community Development (HCD) administers CDBG funds for municipalities under 50,000 population, including Las Banos, which must compete with other non-entitlement cities for funding. Up to $3.6 million per application is available through a competitive process, with awards anticipated in September 2026 and an expenditure timeline of two years and nine months from execution of the standard agreement. The CDBG program assists local governments in addressing needs for lowand moderate-income populations, slum and blight prevention, or urgent needs, such as disasters. She noted that current emergency shelter capacity in the city, including two bridge homes totaling 20 beds, is insufficient to meet demand. The proposed tiny shelter village would provide additional shelter and supportive services, including bathrooms, showers, laundry facilities, and case management, complementing One Tree Village’s permanent supportive housing. She provided an overview of the structured site evaluation process for the tiny shelter village. Sites were scored using weighted criteria aligned with CDBG priorities, including public health and safety, neighborhood compatibility, environmental conditions, cost, readiness, and access to utilities. Proximity to residential neighborhoods and sensitive land uses, as well as potential soil contamination, were emphasized. The G Street parcel, located between 9th and 10th Streets, scored highest due to minimal residential proximity, no known contamination, utility access, cost efficiency, and readiness for development. The parcel is currently partially occupied by an asphalt pad used by an encampment and is adjacent to commercial properties. Only half of the 1.1-acre parcel would be used for the shelter. Ms. Souza Elms emphasized that Council direction on site selection is necessary for the CDBG application, environmental review, and project planning. Fiscal impact: no match is required to apply, and if awarded, up to 7% of the grant may reimburse the city for administrative costs. The resolution before Council authorizes staff to apply for up to $3.6 million to develop the tiny shelter village with supportive services, providing at least 30% capacity within the city limits
Ms. Souza Elms spoke to a typographical error in the resolution, clarifying that the program allocation should be $500,000. The City would be applying for $3 million in CDBG funding, with $100,000 for administrative costs. Staff also requested that the City Council provide direction to use the city-owned G Street parcel between 9th Street and 10th Street as the proposed site for the tiny shelter village project.
Mayor Amabile invited the public to come forward and speak. MARK TREICHEL stated that the City may be conflating different populations by treating “unhoused” and “homeless” individuals as the same, emphasizing that he believes there are important differences in needs and behaviors. He expressed concern about mixing individuals and families seeking stability and assistance with those who may not want help or could present safety risks, citing observed instances of disruptive or unsafe behavior. He suggested dividing the proposed development into separate areas to accommodate these groups, including splitting the parcel into two sections, potentially locating one closer to the police station and the other near the community center, to improve safety and 15 outcomes for residents and assist emergency services. LARRY BYERS stated that the City is applying for a $3.6 million grant and expressed strong support for the effort. He noted that Christy and Stacy have successfully secured multi-million-dollar grants in the past, praised their expertise in grant writing, and encouraged the City to move forward with the application. No one else came forward to speak.
Council Member Perez asked whether there are costs associated with applying for the grant. Ms. Souza Elms responded that there are upfront costs to the City, but these would be recouped if the grant is awarded. She noted that required preparations include NEPA clearance, estimated at approximately $12,000, as well as improvement plans, and explained that these steps are necessary to demonstrate readiness for the project. She added that even if the grant is not awarded, the completed work would still be useful for future applications.
Council Member Chavez asked about potential separation of populations within the proposed site, referencing earlier public comment. Ms. Souza Elms clarified that the emergency shelter is intended as a sustainable replacement for the existing encampment, primarily serving individuals currently living in tents. She noted that terminology such as “unhoused” follows HUD definitions and is used carefully in the application. Ms. Souza Elms explained that individuals or families in need of longer-term or more stable housing would be better served through other programs, such as permanent supportive housing, while the shelter is not designed for families or extended stays. She added that families with minors are discouraged from staying in encampments and are instead assisted through service providers with motel vouchers and support in obtaining permanent housing.
Council Member Lewis asked for clarification on unit size, noting they are only a couple hundred square feet. Ms. Souza Elms responded that the units are approximately 70 to 100 square feet, which is not sufficient for families, and confirmed that they are intended for single individuals only.
Mayor Amabile expressed support for securing the full project funding and stated that, if there is a shortfall, the City should consider committing additional resources to complete the shelter and fully address the encampment. Mayor Amabile emphasized the goal of transitioning individuals out of tents into more stable, amenity-equipped shelter units and highlighted the importance of having full-time on-site monitoring or management to ensure safety, accountability, and proper operation of the facility.
Motion by Chavez, seconded by Perez to adopt City Council Resolution No. 7060 – Approving an Application for Funding and the Execution of a Grant Agreement up to $3.6 Million and Any Amendments Thereto from the 2025 Funding Year of the State Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program for a Tiny Shelter Village, with the correction to Program dollar amount to $500,000 and designation of the project site.
The motion carried by the affirmative action of all Council Members present.
CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 7061 – ACCEPTING THE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON AGREED-UPON PROCEDURES RELATED TO THE CITY’S CAPITAL PROJECTS FOR THE PERIOD 16 OF JULY 1, 2022 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2024 AS PREPARED BY HARSHWAL AND COMPANY LLP. Finance Director Moreno presented the staff report, which included a PowerPoint presentation. Ms. Moreno spoke in more detail to the results of a specialized audit covering City capital projects from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024, conducted by an independent accounting firm using agreed-upon procedures rather than a full financial audit. She explained that the review focused on compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and City policies, including procurement, contract management, payment authorization, and accounting practices, and was intended to provide transparency to the Council. Ms. Moreno spoke in more detail regarding the audit scope and findings. The auditors reported no exceptions in compliance, procurement, payments, or accounting records. However, two projects—the 2023 Street Rehabilitation Project and the Animal Shelter Modular Building Project—experienced limited contract overruns. Ms. Moreno stated that staff have implemented and will continue strengthening measures to include appropriate contingencies and seek Council approval for any overruns beyond authorized amounts. She concluded that the report reflects strong overall compliance and requested Council adopt a resolution accepting the independent auditor’s report.
Mayor Amabile invited the public to come forward to speak. No one came forward to speak.
Council Member Lewis asked if any deficiencies were found in the audit. Ms. Moreno responded that there were none, except for a $12,000 overrun on the 2023 Street Rehabilitation Project due to insufficient contingency and an overrun on the Animal Shelter Project because the prior Public Works Director applied the “Green Book” contingency standard, which allows for more than the City’s stricter policy. She confirmed that there were no other findings whatsoever.
Mayor Amabile noted that while the audit found no deficiencies, this Council would have handled some past projects differently, as certain projects were not completed in a sustainable manner or with full transparency. He thanked Ms. Moreno and her department for all the work on the audit. Ms. Moreno added that the City has gone through 12 audits since she has been in her role, and these reviews have helped improve processes and strengthen internal controls, highlighting the department’s ongoing efforts and successes.
Motion by Lewis, seconded by Chavez to adopt City Council Resolution No. 7061 – Accepting the Independent Accountant’s Report On Agreed-Upon Procedures Related to the City’s Capital Projects for the Period of July 1, 2022 Through June 30, 2024 as Prepared by Harshwal and Company LLP. The motion carried by the affirmative action of all Council Members present.
CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 7062 – ESTABLISHING THE PROCESS TO FILL THE DISTRICT 2 VACANCY. City Manager Than presented the staff report. City Manager Than reported that District 2 Council Member Evan Sanders resigned effective January 9, 2026, creating a midterm vacancy. Pursuant to Governing Code Section 36-512, Subsection B, the City Council must fill the vacancy within 60 days—by March 10—either by appointment or by calling a special election. City Manager Than outlined two options: (1) appoint a successor to serve the remainder of the term, from March 10 to November 3, 2026, or (2) call a special election, which would 17 be held on the next regularly established election date, November 3, 2026, coinciding with the general election.
Council Member Lewis noted that a special election was held this past September with only 8–9% of the District 2 voting population participating, at a cost of $30,000–$40,000.
She stated that District 2 residents should elect their next Council member and that holding the election during the general election would give potential candidates adequate time to consider running. Council Member Lewis expressed that the general election is the best option for ensuring a fair and representative selection.
Mayor Amabile invited the public to come forward to speak. KATHY BALLARD, a District 2 resident, stated she would prefer an appointment, noting that leaving the seat vacant for an extended period is too long and that there are residents willing to be appointed but not run in the November election. MIGUEL ALEJANDRE stated that he feels the community has already spoken when REFUGIO ran for Mayor and, as a District 2 resident, he agreed that leaving the seat vacant for so long would be detrimental. MARK TREICHEL stated that he is willing to be appointed, lives in District 2, and would be willing to run in the November election. No one else came forward to speak.
Mayor Amabile noted that there is a big difference between why the Council appointed a member a year ago and the current situation. Last year, the Council did not have a full body in place and needed to act quickly to govern the City. He stated that he generally leans toward letting the people decide and referenced an experience from 30 years ago, emphasizing that such decisions are best left to the voters.
Council Member Chavez stated that he feels the people should decide who represents District 2, but expressed concern that the seat would remain vacant for nearly a year before someone could be sworn in. He noted that even if the Council chooses to appoint a successor, the voters would still have the opportunity to make the final decision in the November election. Council Member Chavez emphasized that while he is open to exploring an appointment to avoid a long vacancy, he does not support holding a costly special election.
Council Member Perez stated that she feels waiting a year to fill the District 2 seat is too long and asked how soon an appointment must be made. City Attorney Mary Lerner confirmed that the deadline for appointment is next week, March 10, 2026.
City Attorney Mary Lerner explained that the Council has three options regarding the District 2 vacancy: adopt a resolution to appoint a qualified individual (Option 1), place the position on the November election (Option 2), or give direction to call a special meeting to make the appointment. She recommended calling a special meeting for Monday night to allow the Council to make an appointment before the Tuesday, March 10, 2026, deadline.
City Manager Than asked City Attorney Lerner to touch base on the legal requirements for appointing a Council member. City Attorney Lerner explained that any appointee would serve the remainder of former Council Member Sanders’ term until the November 3, 2026, general election. She noted that there are no specific state laws or municipal code provisions requiring a formal appointment procedure, and the Council may appoint 18 any qualified individual who is at least 18, a registered voter in Merced County, and a resident of District 2. All discussions and actions must occur in open session under the Brown Act, and legal limitations, such as appointing a majority of council members or appointing an existing council member, do not apply. Appointments must be made by Tuesday, March 10, 2026. City Clerk Mallonee then spoke about the customary process for appointments, explaining that traditionally it involved multiple steps over several weeks, including public discussion, advertising in the newspaper and on the City website, allowing candidates time to apply, and conducting open interviews before the Council made a final selection.
Council Member Lewis expressed concern about the timing of an appointment, stating that two days is not enough time to notify the public or allow potential candidates to apply.
She emphasized that Councilmembers are responsible for all residents and not just their own districts, and she does not believe the Council would neglect District 2 in the meantime. Council Member Lewis stated her support for Option 2, holding the election in November, noting that the next election is eight months away.
A motion was made by Council Member Lewis to go with Option 2, placing the District 2 Council vacancy on the November 3, 2026, general election ballot. The motion did not receive a second and therefore died
A motion was made by Council Member Chavez to go with Option 1, adopting Resolution 7062 to appoint a qualified individual to the District 2 Council vacancy. The motion was seconded by Council Member Perez.
Motion by Chavez, seconded by Perez to adopt City Council Resolution No. 7062 – Establishing the Process to Fill the District 2 Vacancy with appointment and to circulate a notice and application to be due by Friday March 6 and call a special meeting for Monday March 9. The motion carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: Chavez, Perez, Amabile; NOES: Lewis, ABSENT: None.
DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION REGARDING AMENDMENTS TO LOS BANOS MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 2-1.301, ET SEQ. TO INCREASE ELECTEDS COMPENSATION. City Attorney Lerner presented the staff report, making note of an overview regarding potential modifications to elected officials’ compensation, noting that no vote was required at this time and staff was seeking direction only. She explained that under Senate Bill 329, which amended California Government Code Section 36516, general law cities such as Los Banos may increase Council member salaries based on population. With a current estimated population of approximately 48,896, Los Banos qualifies for a maximum monthly Council member salary of $1,275. City Attorney Lerner noted that current salaries, set in 1989, are $300 per month for Council members and $400 per month for the Mayor, significantly below market levels. Any increase would require a separate ordinance, take effect for Council members after the next regular election in November 2026, and for the Mayor could take effect during the current term.
She also noted fiscal impacts, including allocation across multiple city funds, and that the City Clerk and Treasurer currently receive $100 per month, with staff available to prepare revised salary schedules for those positions if directed. The purpose of the discussion was to provide background, legal requirements, and comparative data to allow the 19 Council to give direction on whether to proceed with preparing an ordinance to increase compensation up to the statutory maximum
Mayor Amabile invited the public to come forward to speak. REFUGIO LLAMAS stated that the City of Merced has a population of approximately 99,000 and manages a budget twice the size of Los Banos. He noted the current salaries for Merced’s Council members and Mayor and expressed concern that the proposed increase for Los Banos would more than double Council pay. He emphasized that serving on the Council is a position intended to give back to the community rather than for personal financial gain. REFUGIO further stated that he believes any funds allocated for salary increases would be better spent on initiatives that directly benefit residents, such as economic development, community programs, or additional personnel for city services. No one else came forward to speak.
Mayor Amabile stated that he had requested the item be brought forward. He emphasized that he does not serve for the money, noting he ran for Mayor because of his love for the community, and shared that he is personally losing income while serving. His primary concern is that council compensation has not been reviewed in 37 years, and he expressed concern about the future. Reflecting on the past, he noted changes in volunteerism and civic participation, and stressed the need to entice individuals to serve as council members. He highlighted efforts to appoint younger individuals to encourage involvement and questioned how the City can attract people to take on the demands of the role, emphasizing the importance of making it worthwhile. He added that he will continue to run for Mayor regardless of whether compensation is increased, but wants to see more community members get involved and make a difference. Speaking from his perspective as a businessman, he suggested that after 37 years, it may be time to consider increasing council compensation to support future recruitment and participation.
Council Member Lewis stated she has served 13 years on the City Council and 12 years on the Planning Commission, in addition to volunteering on boards such as the Merced County Fair Board. She noted that through her role on the Valley Air Board, compensation has increased over time and is now higher than what she receives as a Councilmember.
She shared that she does not utilize the City’s health insurance, as she has coverage elsewhere. Council Member Lewis emphasized that for 37 years, the Council has worked to be fair and responsible in supporting City employees and managing budgets, while their own compensation has not been revisited. She highlighted that serving on the Council involves significant time, effort, and decision-making, as well as attending community events as an elected servant. She expressed that it is not unreasonable to consider making the Council “whole,” and that compensation should reflect the value of the role. She concluded that the issue is ensuring elected officials are compensated at a level the community believes they deserve.
Mayor Amabile stated that, unlike state and federal officials, local elected officials receive minimal compensation and emphasized that he views himself as a public servant rather than a politician. He noted that Councilmembers generally do not receive additional pay for serving on outside boards or committees, with the exception of Council Member Lewis’ role on the Air Board, and that the only additional benefit provided is a City-issued cell phone allowance. He added that he rarely seeks reimbursement for expenses such as 20 mileage, even when traveling for City business, underscoring that his service is not motivated by financial gain.
Council Member Chavez clarified that $1,275 is the maximum allowable compensation and not a proposed amount, but rather a reference point to help guide discussion. He expressed concern over why council compensation has not been adjusted in 37 years and noted that volunteerism has declined over time, making it more difficult to attract individuals to serve. He also pointed to outdated allowances, such as per diem rates, and highlighted the low compensation of $100 for positions like the City Clerk, stating it raises concerns about how to recruit and retain qualified individuals for demanding roles. Council Member Chavez emphasized that no one is seeking to profit from serving, but acknowledged the significant time, effort, and responsibilities involved. He stated that it is worth further review, including gathering staff input and community feedback, and suggested that it may be time to consider increasing compensation to better reflect current expectations and support future participation.
Council Member Perez expressed agreement with previous comments, noting that when she shares the current compensation, people are often surprised and find it hard to believe. She stated that she does not submit reimbursement for her phone and emphasized that serving on the Council is not her primary job. She shared that she takes time off from work to attend meetings and events, highlighting the personal sacrifices involved. Council Member Perez noted that many people are not aware of the significant time and effort required, including reviewing extensive materials. She added that while compensation is not the main motivation, having some level of pay could help entice the younger generation to get involved and serve.
Mayor Amabile stated that he approaches managing the City with a business mindset, particularly in terms of financial performance, while recognizing the differences related to government operations and employee protections. He noted the City’s positive financial standing, highlighting a current budget surplus compared to the previous year, and credited strong leadership and management. Based on this perspective, he suggested that council compensation could be evaluated in a similar manner and indicated a desire to provide direction to staff to return with further information for consideration.
Mayor Amabile referenced the City of Chowchilla’s recent increase in Council compensation to approximately $900, noting that while the Mayor received the increase immediately, Council Members will not receive the adjustment until after the next election.
Mayor Amabile also discussed including consideration of factors such as CPI and inflation as part of evaluating potential changes.
City Manager Than referenced data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, noting that when adjusting the 1989 council compensation of $300 for inflation using the Consumer Price Index, the equivalent value in January 2026 would be approximately $805.74.
Mayor Amabile requested consensus from the Council to direct staff to return with a proposed ordinance revision, including a compensation model and a specific dollar amount to be determined by the Council.
21 CITY DEPARTMENT REPORTS.

DATE: April 1, 2026
TYPE OF REPORT: Consent Item
SUBJECT: Memorandum of Understanding between Merced County and City of Los Banos for Pavement of County Corporation Yard Parking Lot Improvements _____________________________________________________________________ Recommendation:
That the City Council adopts the Resolution to approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Merced County and City of Los Banos for the pavement of the County Corporation Yard Parking Lot Improvements, located at 20925 Pioneer Road, and authorizes the City Manager to execute said agreement.
Background:
On December 18, 2024, City Council authorized the Award of a Construction Contract to Agee Construction in the amount of $6,674,758 for construction of the Ortigalita Road and Pioneer Road Intersection Improvement Project.
The project consisted of relocating existing underground utilities including water, storm, and sewer lines, widening the intersection of Ortigalita and Pioneer Roads, and installing traffic signals to improve public safety and traffic circulation throughout the City.
Discussion:
Part of the original project called for some improvements to the parking lot and frontage of the Merced County Corporation Yard, which is located on the Southeast corner of the project. During construction, Merced County Public Works reached out to City staff with a request to complete additional improvements within the County’s parking lot to improve stormwater drainage and vehicle access. Because the work can be completed concurrently with the City’s roadway project, the improvements can be performed by the City’s contractor at a reduced cost through economies of scale. 25 ITEM 7C
The County of Merced and the City of Los Banos Public Works Departments have developed a Memorandum of Understanding to allow for reimbursement to the City for the cost of the City’s contractor performing the parking lot improvements as part of the ongoing roadway project.
The Memorandum of Understanding Agreement for the proposed reimbursement to the City of Los Banos is in the amount of $31,232.
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved this agreement as to form.
The following is a breakdown of charges as proposed by Agee Construction:
Item Quantity Unit of
Measure
Unit Price Total
Add Dike to Fence 36 LF $13.00 $468.00
Overlay 31’x248’ 1 LS $14,382.00 $14,382.00
Overlay 41’x48’ 1 LS $4,882.00 $4,882.00
Valley Gutter 250 LF $40.00 $11,500.00
TOTAL $31,232.30
Fiscal Impact:
The estimated cost of the County Corporation Yard parking lot improvements is $31,232.
The County of Merced will reimburse the City for 100% of the project cost associated with the parking lot improvements. There is sufficient fund already appropriated for this project contingency. No additional budget amendment is needed.

TYPE OF REPORT: Consent Agenda
SUBJECT: Early Learning Center B Street Storm Drainage Ditch Project and Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget Amendment
______________________________________________________________________ Recommendation:
Staff recommends City Council adopt the Resolution to amend the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget by increasing the appropriation amount in the Wastewater Fund in the amount of $705,345.85 for the construction of public improvements for the Early Learning Center B Street Storm Drainage Ditch Project.
Background:
The Los Banos Unified School District has constructed an Early Learning Center (hereafter "Project") at the southwest corner of East B Street and Place Road. The plans called for the undergrounding of the open storm drainage ditch adjacent to the northern boundary of the Project on CITY real property (APN 428-010-006). CITY and DISTRICT found it in the public interest to underground the current open ditch to ensure safety and functionality. On June 19, 2024, the District and City entered into a Cost Share Agreement where the District would complete the improvements and the City would share in a portion of the cost (50%) for the undergrounding, pursuant to the terms outlined in the Cost Share Agreement (Resolution No. 6787).
Discussion:
An estimate was provided for the undergrounding of the storm drain ditch. This included the installation of a headwall structure, 1,784 linear feet of 42” reinforced concrete pipe, and all miscellaneous parts required to perform the work. The construction of these improvements has been completed.
Fiscal Impact:
35 ITEM 7D
This amendment would re-appropriate line item 502-432-100-714 by $705,345.85 in Fiscal Year 2025/2026. This funding was originally appropriated in Fiscal Year 2024/2025.

70 Agenda Staff Report
TO: Mayor Amabile and Council Members
FROM: Mary Lerner, City Attorney
DATE: April 1, 2026
TYPE OF REPORT: Regular Agenda
SUBJECT: Consideration of Adoption of a City Council Resolution Approving a Policy Regarding Telephonic and Internet Disruptions to Access at Public Meetings in Accordance with California Senate Bill 707
______________________________________________________________________ Recommendation:
Staff recommends adoption of City Council Resolution No. 7070 approving a policy regarding telephonic and internet disruptions to access at public meetings in accordance with California Senate Bill 707 (SB 707).
Discussion:
The State of California enacted SB 707 to strengthen public participation and expand remote teleconferencing access. SB 707 brings significant changes to the City’s meetings starting in 2026 that is intended to diversify and increase public engagement in local government, and also modernize the Ralph M. Brown Act in the face of technological advancements.
Unlike earlier versions of the Brown Act, the new law now requires the City to offer hybrid meetings. This means the public must be able to participate through a two-way phone or video platform, unless the meeting qualifies for an exemption, such as an offsite tour. 71 ITEM 10
Also, as part of this legislation, on or before July 1, 2026, the City of Los Banos must approve a policy regarding disruption of the above-mentioned services or platform and efforts to restore service. If a disruption prevents the public from attending a meeting, the body must take a recess and try to restore service for at least one hour. Afterward, it must adopt a finding by roll call vote confirming that good-faith efforts were made to fix the issue and that resuming the meeting serves the public interest more than delaying it further.
Fiscal Impact:
While adoption of the policy itself presents no fiscal impact to the City, initial compliance with SB 707, inclusive of chamber, technological upgrades is estimated to cost $358,273.80. This amount is already budgeted for in Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget.

TYPE OF REPORT: Agenda Item
SUBJECT: Consider a Resolution to Amend the Approved Staffing for the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget and the City’s Salary Schedule for Regular (Full-Time) Employee Classifications to add a Public Information Officer Classification ______________________________________________________________________ Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council consider and adopt a Resolution approving an Amendment to the Approved Staffing for the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget and the City’s Salary Schedule for Regular (Full-Time) Employee Classifications to add a Public Information Officer Classification.
Discussion:
The City of Los Banos Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 (“Budget”) includes approved staffing for the total number of full-time classifications. The Budget further includes an approved Salary Schedule that renumerates the approved regular full-time employee classifications. The Los Banos Municipal Code Section 2-3.116 provides for the duties and authorizes the City Manager to recommend reorganization of offices, positions, departments, or units under his direction as may be indicated in the interest of the efficient, effective, and economical conduct of the City’s business.
The City has experienced recent organizational changes, and continues positioning itself to provide ongoing effective and efficient professional services to the community.
The City Manager has identified the need for a Public Information Officer classification 77 ITEM 11
(“Position”) to plan, develop, direct, oversee, and implement a comprehensive communications and public relations program utilizing traditional and modern forms of media. This position will allow the City organization to centralize and enhance the delivery of information to the public, including communication relating to emergencies, crises, news, advertisements, marketing, educational, and social messaging on a wide variety of topics with high-quality media content that promotes a positive image and supports timely and effective communication with residents.
This Position will assist in directing, managing, and expanding the City’s communication capacity alongside the services provided by Imagine Way More, LLC., which provides professional visual multi-media services including photography, videography, drone imaging, event coverage, and short-form digital content creation.
A comprehensive communications and public relations program will facilitate a broad range of communication initiatives including:
Interface and press briefings with the media including inquiries, crisis management, and emergencies.
Regular social media updates to improve transparency and real-time community information.
A revitalized City website aimed at improving accessibility, modernizing design, and enabling more intuitive navigation.
Public outreach and engagement efforts, including in-person and digital feedback opportunities.
Enhanced storytelling and project visibility through consistent multimedia communication.
Gathering, collecting, maintaining, and narrating historical, statistical and strategic content for the securement of citywide grants.
A proposed Class Specification defining the essential duties and requirements for the Position is attached (Attachment 3). The salary range recommended for the Position is $7,955 to $10,155 (Steps 1-6 Range) per month and was established using methodology that considered market and internal equity pay data including a comparison of responsibilities, complexity, and authority for similar roles. As the City continues to grow, it is critical for the Organization to equip its staffing to ensure proper capacity that meets the needs of our community.
Staff respectfully requests consideration and approval of an Amendment to the City’s Approved Staffing and Salary Schedule for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 to add a Public Information Officer Classification.
Fiscal Impact:
If approved, the Fiscal Year 2025–2026 Budget contains sufficient appropriations to support the proposed Resolution. Appropriations for Fiscal Year 2026–2027, would be 78 included in the proposed budget and presented to the City Council for consideration and approval as part of the annual budget adoption process.

Agenda Staff Report
TO: Mayor Amabile and Council Members
FROM: Nirorn Than, City Manager
DATE: April 1, 2026
TYPE OF REPORT: Regular Agenda
SUBJECT: Consideration of Adoption of a City Council Resolution Revising the Policy Regarding City Council Member Neighborhood Outreach Events ______________________________________________________________________ Recommendation:
That City Council Adopt a resolution revising the policy regarding City Council Member Neighborhood Outreach Events.
Discussion:
On February 20, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6057 which established a policy regarding City Council Member neighborhood outreach events. This policy allowed council members an opportunity to create an outreach event once a year at a location of their choice, subject to certain restrictions including, but not limited to, ensuring the outreach took place prior to July 1 in an election year, the locations are open to the public, and there is no campaigning or political endorsements at the outreach events.
At the March 18, 2026 City Council meeting, Mayor Amabile requested that staff bring back this policy for discussion.
The Amended Policy now provides members of council the opportunity to conduct multiple outreach events each year provided those up for re-election conduct outreach events prior to July 1. The Amended Policy also adds that the “[u]se of city staff and/or 101
ITEM 12
city resources during these outreach events is dependent upon staff and resource availability.”
Fiscal Impact:
The use of city staff may result in overtime costs. The budget for these events will be allocated for in FY26-27 budget and will be presented for council consideration in June, 2026. There is sufficient budget allocated in FY25-26 to host one event per council member and mayor. Budget amendment is not needed for FY25-26.
