REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
Approved by: Council Meeting of: March 20, 2024
_________________________________ Agenda Number: ___________ Arnoldo Rodriguez, City Manager
SUBJECT:

Disclosure and waiver regarding concurrent representation of Madera County Transportation Commission
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute a waiver SUMMARY:

The City Attorney was recently appointed by the City Council. Prior to his appointment, the City Attorney disclosed that he and his Firm have also represented other public entities including the Madera County Transportation Commission (MCTC). Although there is no present conflict of interest or litigation between MCTC and the City, there remains a possibility there could be potential conflicts in the future. Out of an abundance of caution the City Attorney is proposing to recuse himself from those items for both the City and MCTC, and is seeking a waiver of any potential conflict regarding the same.

DISCUSSION:

MCTC is an independent public agency with a focus of area-wide transportation purposes. Two Councilmembers, Councilmember Rodriguez and Mayor Pro Tem Gallegos (alternate) currently represent the City as part of MCTC’s Board of Directors.

Shannon Chaffin of Aleshire & Wynder, LLP, has represented MCTC for approximately seven years as its Assistant or General Counsel as-needed. After starting representation of the City, it was discovered that there could be occasional contracts between the two agencies. Upon coordinating with both the City Manager and the Executive Director for MCTC, the City Attorney is proposing to fully recuse himself from any contract or similar items, and is seeking a waiver of any potential conflict regarding the same. If any other conflict were to arise the firm would immediately notify the City Manager and seek direction. As MCTC also serves as the Regional B-5
Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) and the local Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the waiver would also apply to those agencies.

This consent will not waive any protection that the City may have with regard to attorney-client communications with us in matters in which the City Attorney and his firm represent the City.

Those communications will remain confidential and will not be disclosed to any third party without the City’s consent.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact approving the waiver.

ALTERNATIVES:

An alternative is to continue the item to seek the advice of independent legal counsel regarding the requested waiver and consent.

Another alternative is to not approve the waiver. This may require the City Attorney to cease representation of one of the parties at some future date.

ATTACHMENTS:

1. Resolution authorizing waiver

2. Correspondence from Aleshire & Wynder dated March 12, 2024 RESOLUTION NO. ____________

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MADERA,

CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE A

WAIVER (ALESHIRE & WYNDER, LLP)
WHEREAS, the City Attorney, Aleshire & Wynder, LLP (“Firm”), was recently appointed by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, prior to his appointment, the City Attorney disclosed that he and his Firm have also represented other public entities including the Madera County Transportation Commission, and the agencies it serves as, which include the Regional Transportation Planning Agency (“RTPA”) and the local Metropolitan Planning Organization (“MPO”) (collectively “MCTC”); and WHEREAS, although there is no present conflict of interest or litigation between MCTC and the City, there remains a possibility there could be potential conflicts in the future. As such, out of an abundance of caution the City Attorney is proposing to recuse himself from those items for both the City and MCTC, and is seeking a waiver of any potential conflict regarding the same; and
WHEREAS, said consent will not waive any protection that the City may have with regard to attorney-client communications with us in matters in which the City Attorney represents the City, which will remain confidential and will not be disclosed to any third party without the City’s consent; and
WHEREAS, after receiving written disclosure and having been informed regarding the same, the City Council now desires to approve a conflict waiver as presented and authorize the Mayor to execute the same.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MADERA hereby resolves, finds, determines and orders as follows:

1. The above recitals are true and correct.

2. The City Council approves the request for a conflict waiver regarding MCTC as presented, and authorizes the Mayor to execute the same on behalf of the City.

Re: Conflicts Waiver – Informed Written Consent to Representation of Other Aleshire & Wynder Clients
Dear Mr. Rodriguez:

The City of Madera recently retained Aleshire and Wynder, LLP (Firm) to provide legal services to the City as the City Attorney.

As you know, the Firm has also provided general legal services to the Madera County Transportation Commission (MCTC) for many years. This also includes MCTC in its capacity as the Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) and the local Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). City is in MCTC’s service area.

At no time has our Firm ever advised MCTC on matters directly against the City. In fact, two City Council Councilmembers, Councilmember Rodriguez and Mayor Pro Tem Gallegos (alternate), currently represent the City as part of MCTC’s Board of Directors.

Although there is no present conflict of interest or litigation between MCTC and the City, there could be the potential for a conflict in the future. This letter seeks to obtain the City’s consent to the Firm’s continued representation of the City and MCTC.

(a) A lawyer shall not, without informed written consent from each client and compliance with paragraph (d), represent a client if the representation is directly adverse to another client in the same or a separate matter.
(b) A lawyer shall not, without informed written consent from each affected client and compliance with paragraph (d), represent a client if there is a significant risk the lawyer’s representation of the client will be materially limited by the lawyer’s responsibilities to or relationships with another client, a former client or a third person, or by the lawyer’s own interests.
(c) Even when a significant risk requiring a lawyer to comply with paragraph (b) is not present, a lawyer shall not represent a client without written disclosure of the relationship to the client and compliance with paragraph (d) where: (1) the lawyer has, or knows* that another lawyer in the lawyer’s firm has, a legal, business, financial, professional, or personal relationship with or responsibility to a party or witness in the same matter; or (2) the lawyer knows or reasonably should know* that another party’s lawyer is a spouse, parent, child, or sibling of the lawyer, lives with the lawyer, is a client of the lawyer or another lawyer in the lawyer’s firm, or has an intimate personal relationship with the lawyer.
(d) Representation is permitted under this rule only if the lawyer complies with paragraphs (a), (b), and (c), and: (1) the lawyer reasonably believes* that the lawyer will be able to provide competent and diligent representation to each affected client; (2) the representation is not prohibited by law; and (3) the representation does not involve the assertion of a claim by one client against another client represented by the lawyer in the same litigation or other proceeding before a tribunal. (e) For purposes of this rule, “matter” includes any judicial or other proceeding, application, request for a ruling or other determination, contract, transaction, claim, controversy, investigation, charge, accusation, arrest, or other deliberation, decision, or action that is focused on the interests of specific persons, or a discrete and identifiable class of persons.

SCOPE OF REPRESENTATION
Although there is no present conflict of interest or litigation between MCTC and the City, we are writing to describe to you potential conflicts that could arise in the future. Of course, if any such conflict were to arise we would immediately notify you and seek direction.

There are a number of conflicts that could arise between the City and MCTC. For example, circumstances in which a potential conflict could arise include agreements. Among others, each year the City and MCTC have entered into a Master Agreement for the allocation of the Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) Exchange Funding. Additionally, for years there have been agreements between MCTC and the City to apply for the REAP 1.0 Grants Program and the March 12, 2024

01425.0001/969282.1
authorizing application for, and City receipt of, REAP Program funds. While our Firm has not advised MCTC on these agreements, and these agreements are apparently a routine, “standard” document that provides for the administration of certain funds, etc., there is still the potential for future disagreement or conflicts regarding these items. Likewise, while both the City and MCTC have previously been supportive of the renewal of Measure T, either entity could potentially decide to oppose the same, which could potentially result in litigation. Further, there may be disputes over disagreements regarding transportation projects between the parties. If this conflict were to rise to the level of litigation against one another, the City and MCTC would each be represented by outside litigation counsel in those disputes in lieu of our Firm engaging in a conflict of interest.

This would mitigate the risks of dual representation. Otherwise, dual representation could create a risk that a firm may be tempted to favor the interests of one client over the other; the exercise of independent judgment to one client may be impaired or clouded by a relationship with the others; a firm may not be able to present the appropriate position, claims or defense for a client in order to avoid taking adverse positions to the other client; and a firm may be restricted from forcefully advocating a client’s position for fear of alienating the other client.

However, we believe having outside counsel handle any government claims or litigation that might arise between MCTC and the City mitigates these risks, as does recusal from advising either party regarding agreements with the other. If such a dispute were to arise, the Firm would institute an ethical screen so that MCTC counsel never discusses this matter with the City’s counsel (in person, by phone or video, electronically or in writing) and outside counsel would handle such litigation and advice concerning such litigation.

YOUR CONSENT
If you are in agreement with this arrangement, please sign this consent letter. It is understood that this consent will not waive any protection that you may have regarding attorney-client communications with us. Those communications will be confidential and will not be disclosed to any third party without your consent.

Though we cannot predict every potential conflict that could arise, we believe we have provided you a sufficiently detailed description to obtain informed written consent. However, if you believe that there is any other information that needs to be disclosed before such consent can be granted, please let us know immediately.

In the event that circumstances change or we become aware of new information that requires a new consent from the parties, you will be notified of that fact immediately, and continued representation will be subject to the informed written consent of involved parties.

You are entitled to and should consider obtaining an independent legal opinion regarding the advisability of signing this consent.

Arnoldo Rodriguez, City Manager
SUBJECT:

Motorola Service Provider Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution Approving Service Provider Agreement, Online Terms Acknowledgement, and Cyber Addendum with Motorola Solutions, Inc. for the upgrade, implementation, service, and maintenance of Police Department communication infrastructure in the amount of $96,902.41 with a 10% contingency to the implementation component for applicable taxes.

SUMMARY:

It is routine for the City to enter into an agreement with a local authorized Motorola third-party dealer for 24/7 on-site technical support. However, during the most recent contract negotiations with the third-party dealer, staff were advised Motorola would no longer be authorizing service agreements with third-party affiliates. Upon discovery, Motorola proposed contract language to which both parties have found agreement on for the service and maintenance of emergency communication equipment. In addition to the annual service agreement, the system requires an implementation plan and upgrade.

DISCUSSION:

The Police Department utilizes specialty 911 dispatch and communications equipment to efficiently operate the department’s communication center. The infrastructure involves various complex components that require routine maintenance and support. A few critical components of infrastructure include radio and 911 call handling servers, dispatch radio and 911 consoles, and various radio antennas found across the city.

At Motorola’s discretion, the City cannot enter into an agreement with a third-party affiliate for maintenance contracts. To maintain its communication infrastructure, the City is required to enter into an agreement directly with Motorola that includes a system upgrade and an annual B-6
service agreement. The upgrade and annual service agreement bolster the City’s emergency communication capabilities, ensuring staff have the tools to respond efficiently in critical situations.

Implementation and System Upgrade
The City’s system is due for an upgrade. Motorola’s system upgrade include:
 Software release updates
 Hardware updates
 Professional implementation services
These updates maintain reliable network operations and cybersecurity protection. In addition, they keep the system compatible with expansion elements and new products or features.

Typically, the system upgrade would be a separate agreement since it represents a distinct service. However, to streamline the process, Motorola has combined the system upgrade agreement with the City’s annual service agreement. The City will not be responsible for purchasing the system upgrade agreement next Fiscal Year as it is carried out over a two-year period.

Annual Service and Maintenance
The service agreement will be delivered on an annual basis. The agreement provides remote technical support, hardware repair and replacement, security updates, on-site support, and preventative maintenance. The process for reporting issues is seamless for our staff, as Motorola has an online ticketing system that allows for quick solutions or the dispatching of professional personnel to solve larger concerns requiring on-site repair.

In contrast with the system upgrade, the annual service agreement must be renewed on an annual basis. Staff recommends the City Council (Council) authorize the City Manager to renew the agreement for up to three additional years, not to exceed a $25,000 increase over the three years, and with the approval of the City Attorney. This action allows the City’s emergency communication infrastructure to maintain a high level of workability without disruption.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Each component of the agreement has its own cost associated with the specific service. Table 1 provides a breakdown of these costs.

Table 1: Breakdown of Motorola Agreement
Annual Service Agreement $47,013.42
Implementation and Equipment (equipment subject to taxes) $25,918.30 System Upgrade $23,970.97
Total this fiscal year $96,902.41
The system upgrade includes equipment replacements that are subject to state and local taxes.

Staff recommends incorporating a 10% contingency to the implementation component of the system upgrade to cover applicable taxes. The contingency value is not reflected in the table above.

Staff could not have anticipated the change in Motorola’s business model and therefore did not include the agreement cost in the budget. Measure K will absorb the cost of the annual service agreement and system upgrade. Staff will be able to properly allocate funds for the annual service agreement in the next budget cycle.

ALTERNATIVES:

The Council may refuse to enter into an agreement with Motorola. However, without an annual service agreement, the City would be in dire condition as critical communication tools would be susceptible to failure and security concerns. Alternatively, the Council can direct staff to continue negotiations with Motorola relating to service and/or cost. Furthermore, Council may request staff return with additional information regarding service coverage or any other component of the agreement.

Section 6. TIME AND PLACE OF SERVICE
Service will be provided at the location specified in this Agreement. When Motorola performs service at Customer’s location, Customer will provide Motorola, at no charge, a non-hazardous work environment with adequate shelter, heat, light, and power and with full and free access to the Equipment.

Waivers of liability from Motorola or its subcontractors will not be imposed as a site access requirement. Customer will provide all information pertaining to the hardware and software elements of any system with which the Equipment is interfacing so that Motorola may perform its Services.

Section 8. INVOICING AND PAYMENT

8.1 Customer affirms that a purchase order or notice to proceed is required for the duration of this service contract and will appropriate funds each year through the contract end date. Unless alternative payment terms are stated in this Agreement, Motorola will invoice Customer in advance for each payment period. All other charges will be billed monthly, and Customer must pay each invoice in U.S. dollars within twenty (20) days of the invoice date.

8.2 Customer will reimburse Motorola for all property taxes, sales and use taxes, excise taxes, and other taxes or assessments that are levied as a result of Services rendered under this Agreement (except income, profit, and franchise taxes of Motorola) by any governmental entity. The Customer will pay all invoices for valid charges as defined in this service agreement or ordering document as received from Motorola. At the time of execution of this Agreement, the Customer will provide all necessary reference information to include on invoices for payment in accordance with this Agreement.

8.3 For multi-year service agreements, at the end of the first year of the Agreement and each year thereafter, a CPI percentage change calculation shall be performed using the U.S.Department of Labor, Consumer Price Index, all Items, Unadjusted Urban Areas (CPI-U). Should the annual inflation rate increase greater than 3% during the previous year, Motorola shall have the right to increase all future maintenance prices by the CPI increase amount exceeding 3%. All items, not seasonally adjusted shall be used as the measure of CPI for this price adjustment. Measurement will take place once the annual average for the new year has been posted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For purposes of illustration, if in year 5 the CPI reported an increase of 8%, Motorola may increase the Year 6 price by 5% (8%-3% base).

Section 9. WARRANTY
Motorola warrants that its Services under this Agreement will be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of ninety (90) days from the date the performance of the Services are completed.

MOTOROLA DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER

WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Section 10. DEFAULT/TERMINATION

10.1 If either party defaults in the performance of this Agreement, the other party will give to the non-performing party a written and detailed notice of the default. The non-performing party will have thirty (30) days thereafter to provide a written plan to cure the default that is acceptable to the other party and begin implementing the cure plan immediately after plan approval. If the non-performing party fails to provide or implement the cure plan, then the injured party, in addition to any other rights available to it under law, may immediately terminate this Agreement effective upon giving a written notice of termination to the defaulting party.

10.2 Any termination of this Agreement will not relieve either party of obligations previously incurred pursuant to this Agreement, including payments which may be due and owing at the time of termination. All sums owed by Customer to Motorola will become due and payable immediately upon termination of this Agreement. Upon the effective date of termination, Motorola will have no further obligation to provide Services.

10.3 If the Customer terminates this Agreement before the end of the Term, for any reason other than Motorola default, then the Customer will pay to Motorola an early termination fee equal to the discount applied to the last three (3) years of Service payments for the original Term.

Section 11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Except for personal injury or death, Motorola's total liability, whether for breach of contract, warranty, negligence, strict liability in tort, or otherwise, will be limited to the direct damages recoverable under law, but not to exceed the price of twelve (12) months of Service provided under this Agreement.

All tools, equipment, dies, gauges, models, drawings or other materials paid for or furnished by Motorola for the purpose of this Agreement will be and remain the sole property of Motorola. Customer will safeguard all such property while it is in Customer’s custody or control, be liable for any loss or damage to this property, and return it to Motorola upon request.

Section 1
Essential Plus Services

1.1 Overview
Motorola Solutions is proposing our Essential Plus Services for ASTRO® 25 infrastructure to provide City of Madera Police Department with the support needed to detect and resolve unforeseen issues.

Essential Plus Services consists of the following elements:
 Remote Technical Support.
 Network Hardware Repair with Advanced Replacement.
 Security Update Service (SUS).
 On-site Infrastructure Response.
 Annual Preventive Maintenance.

Together, these elements will help to avoid operational disruptions and maintain the value of City of Madera Police Department’s communications investment.

1.2 Essential Plus Element Descriptions
The following sections describe the elements proposed for City of Madera Police Department’s ASTRO 25 infrastructure.

1.2.1 Remote Technical Support
Motorola Solutions’ Centralized Managed Support Operations (CMSO) will provide Remote Technical Support for infrastructure issues that require specific technical expertise. Experienced technical support specialists will be available to consult with the City of Madera Police Department to help diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve infrastructure issues. Service Desk maintenance procedures and incident resolution techniques are based on ISO 9001 and TL 9000 standards.

1.2.2 Network Hardware Repair with Advanced Replacement To restore City of Madera Police Department’s ASTRO 25 network components if they malfunction, Motorola Solutions will repair Motorola Solutions-provided infrastructure equipment. This includes select third-party infrastructure equipment supplied by Motorola Solutions. Motorola Solutions will ship and return repaired equipment, and will coordinate the repair of third-party solution components.

To reduce the impact of a malfunction, Motorola Solutions will exchange malfunctioning equipment with Advanced Replacement units or Field Replacement Units (FRU), as available. Motorola Solutions’ repair depot will diagnose and repair malfunctioning components, and once repaired, add those to the depot’s FRU inventory. Replacement components will remain in City of Madera Police Department's ASTRO 25 network to maintain continued network functionality.

If the City of Madera Police Department prefers to maintain their existing FRU inventory rather than using Motorola Solutions’ depot inventory, Motorola Solutions can provide “loaner” FRUs during the repair process.

1.2.3 Security Update Service
Commercial security software updates are often designed without consideration for specialized systems like radio communications networks. Therefore, they may at sometimes inadvertently disrupt ASTRO 25 networks such as the one proposed to the City of Madera Police Department. Motorola Solutions will test anti-virus, operating system, and other software patches to check their compatibility with ASTRO

25. Once tested, Motorola Solutions will post the updates to a secured extranet website and send an email notification to the City of Madera Police Department. If there are any recommended configuration changes, warnings, or workarounds, Motorola Solutions will provide detailed documentation along with the updates on the website. When tested updates have been posted, the City of Madera Police Department will need to download and install them.

1.2.4 On-site Infrastructure Response
Motorola Solutions will provide repair service from trained and qualified technicians. Once dispatched, technicians will travel to the City of Madera Police Department’s ASTRO 25 network location to diagnose issues and restore functionality. These technicians will run diagnostics on hardware to identify defective components, and repair or replace them as appropriate. Infrastructure Response times are based on a given issue’s impact on overall system function.

Travel times and service levels are governed by local geography. Motorola Solutions will provide additional information in the Statement of Work for ASTRO 25 Essential Plus Services and in the Customer Support Plan agreed between the City of Madera Police Department and Motorola Solutions.

1.2.5 Annual Preventive Maintenance
Motorola Solutions will annually test and service network components. Qualified field technicians will perform routine hands-on examination and diagnostics of network equipment to keep them operating according to original manufacturer specifications.

1.3 Motorola Solutions Service Delivery Ecosystem
Essential Plus Services are delivered through a tailored combination of field service personnel, centralized teams, product repair depots, and MyView Portal. These service resources will collaborate to swiftly analyze network issues, accurately diagnose root causes, and efficiently resolve issues to return the network to normal operation.

Motorola Solutions services will be delivered by staff experienced in servicing mission-critical networks.

Motorola Solutions uses the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) framework to define service tasks based on industry-recognized best practices. As staff perform tasks, service incident information will be available to the City of Madera Police Department’s administrators and personnel through MyView Portal.

Service activities and Motorola Solutions’ service team are described in more detail below.

1.3.1 Centralized Managed Support Operations
The cornerstone of Motorola Solutions’ support process is the Centralized Managed Support Operations (CMSO) organization. This TL 9000/ISO 9001-certified organization is staffed 24x7x365 by experienced service desk specialists, security analysts, and operations managers. The CMSO houses critical central functions, including the Service Desk.

The CMSO Service Desk will serve as a single point of contact for services. It processes service requests, service incidents, change requests, and dispatching. The Service Desk communicates necessary information to stakeholders, bridging communications among the City of Madera Police Department, Motorola Solutions, and third-party subcontractors.

Service Desk teams record, track, and update incidents through the Motorola Solutions Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. They document and respond to inquiries, requests, concerns, and service tickets. When an incident is initiated, the CMSO will engage with teams to resolve that incident. The CMSO will escalate to new teams when needed. Depending on the incident, the CMSO will coordinate incident resolution with local field service and authorized repair depots.

1.3.2 Field Service
Motorola Solutions authorized and qualified field service technicians will perform the On-site Infrastructure Response service, repair malfunctioning hardware in the field, and conduct preventive maintenance tasks. These technicians will coordinate with the Service Desk, technical support teams, and product engineering as needed to resolve incidents.

1.3.3 Repair Depot
The Motorola Solutions Repair Depot will provide City of Madera Police Department with a central repair location. This will eliminate the need to send network equipment to multiple vendor locations for repair. Motorola Solutions tracks products sent to the Depot via a case management system throughout the repair process. This system will enable the City of Madera Police Department’s representatives to check repair status, from inbound shipment to return.

1.3.4 Customer Support Manager
A Motorola Solutions Customer Support Manager (CSM) will be the City of Madera Police Department’s key point of contact for the definition and administration of services. The CSM will work with City of Madera Police Department to define service delivery details to address City of Madera Police Department’s specific priorities.

1.3.5 MyView Portal
To provide Madera PD with quick access to service details, Motorola Solutions will provide our MyView Portal online network information tool. MyView Portal provides our customers with real-time critical network and services information through an easy-to-use graphical interface.

Proclamation Supporting the Recognition of Vaisakhi as National Sikh Day RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Minute Order approving a Proclamation Supporting the Recognition of Vaisakhi as National Sikh Day
SUMMARY:

The City Council, during its regular meeting on August 2, 2023, adopted a policy governing the guidelines for City-issued Ceremonial Documents. This policy establishes the framework for the issuance of proclamations, ensuring a systematic and transparent process.

On December 20, 2023, the Council approved the 2024 List of Annual Proclamations, outlining the scheduled commemorations for the year. However, the policy allows for proclamations not identified on this list to be considered on a case-by-case basis, with a written request required 45 days before the requested presentation date.

In this context, Mr. Raj Pannu, Vice-President of the American Sikh Sangat submitted a timely request on March 8, 2024, seeking a proclamation supporting the recognition of Vaisakhi as National Sikh Day.

Vaisakhi as National Sikh Day promotes a sense of community unity and solidarity, bringing together individuals from diverse backgrounds to participate in shared festivities and foster a spirit of inclusivity. The event being recognized holds profound religious significance and vibrant farming celebration in the community, particularly within the Sikh community, as it commemorates the establishment of the Khalsa, a purified Sikh army with a unique dress code, established to combat injustice, inequality, and protect the innocent from oppression.

In addition to celebrations, there is a strong emphasis on educational outreach, aiming to raise awareness about Sikh traditions, values, and history, thereby fostering a greater understanding among the broader population. It promotes core Sikh values such as equality, justice, and selflessness (Seva), encouraging participants to reflect on and embody these principles in their daily lives.

Per the Ceremonial Documents policy, signatures shall be reserved for Councilmembers who vote in the affirmative. For Councilmembers that vote in the negative, their signature block shall be omitted from the ceremonial document unless they notify the City Clerk in writing otherwise at least five business days prior to the meeting when the Proclamation will be issued.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There were nominal expenses for the preparation of this report or the proclamation. Costs related to custom supplies such as proclamations, certificates, frames, and folders have been purchased and funds were appropriated in the adopted budget.

ALTERNATIVES:

Council may direct staff to prepare a proclamation. If the majority vote is in the affirmative, staff will proceed with presenting the Proclamation at the April 17th Council meeting. In the alternative, Council may:
 Deferral for Further Discussion: Council may opt to defer the decision for further discussion, allowing additional time to address specific concerns or gather more information.
 Denial of Proclamation Request: If the majority vote is not in the affirmative or no action is taken, the request will be considered denied.

Hello Alicia,
It was great meeting with you on Monday. As we discussed, Madera City can only make a proclamation, not a resolution. So, we'll ask for a proclamation from the City of Madera.

Below are the answers (in bold letters) to the questions:

C. Procedures
a. Requests shall be in writing and made 45 days before the requested presentation date.

At a minimum, the request shall identify:
i. Desired date of issuance: April 14 (if possible).
ii. To whom the Proclamation will be addressed; American Sikh Sangat, Jakara Movement, Sikh Council of Central California, Madera Sikh Temple, and Gurdwara Gurmat Parkash Madera.
iii. The purpose or reason for the Proclamation: Sikh Vaisakhi Day to formally recognize and celebrate the significant religious and farming importance of Vaisakhi within the Sikh community.
iv. At least three (3), but no more than five (5), descriptive statements about the nature of the event/organization to be recognized.

1. Religious and Historical Significance: The event being recognized holds profound religious significance and vibrant farming celebration in the community, particularly within the Sikh community, as it commemorates the establishment of the Khalsa, a purified Sikh army with a unique dress code, established to combat injustice, inequality, and protect the innocent from oppression.Hello Alicia,

a. Requests shall be in writing and made 45 days before the requested 1-
presentation date.

At a minimum, the request shall identify:
i. Desired date of issuance: April 14 (if possible).
ii. To whom the Proclamation will be addressed; American Sikh Sangat, Jakara Movement, Sikh Council of Central California, and Sikh Community of Madera
iii. The purpose or reason for the Proclamation: Sikh Vaisakhi Day to formally recognize and celebrate the significant religious and farming importance of Vaisakhi within the Sikh community.
iv. At least three (3), but no more than five (5), descriptive statements about the
nature of the event/organization to be recognized.

1. Religious and Historical Significance: The event being recognized holds profound religious significance and vibrant harvest celebration in the community, particularly within the Sikh community, as it commemorates the establishment of the Khalsa, a purified Sikh army with a unique dress code, established to combat injustice, inequality, and protect the innocent from oppression. Additionally, this day is celebrated as a harvest festival in the Sikh community.

2. Community Unity: It promotes a sense of community unity and solidarity, bringing together individuals from diverse backgrounds to participate in shared festivities and foster a spirit of inclusivity.

3. Educational Outreach: In addition to celebrations, there is a strong emphasis on educational outreach, aiming to raise awareness about Sikh traditions, values, and history, thereby fostering a greater understanding among the broader population.

4. Promotion of Values: It promotes core Sikh values such as equality, justice, and selflessness (Seva), encouraging participants to reflect on and embody these principles in their daily lives.
v. How or why the recognition has local significance. In California, there are over 250,000 Sikhs, with the majority residing in the Central Valley.

Madera, characterized by its diversity, hosts a significant Sikh population. Sikhs from the Punjab state of India migrated to California in the early twentieth century, primarily settling in the Central Valley, initially working in agriculture and later expanding into the transportation and retail sectors. Even today, Sikhs, with their distinctive identity, contribute to various fields such as medicine, engineering, science, politics, and law. Unfortunately, due to their unique appearance, particularly the turban, Sikhs often face targeted hate crimes. The proclamation aims to acknowledge and appreciate their positive contributions to American society.
vi. Who will attend the City Council meeting to accept the Proclamation and
anticipated number of participants? I will send you the names later.
and below is the verbiage for the proclamation:

Supporting the Recognition of Vaisakhi as National Sikh Day Whereas the United States thrives on the rich diversity of its inhabitants, fostering an environment of social acceptance and intellectual diversity that has sustained the nation throughout its history;
Whereas the Sikh community, originating in Punjab, and immigrating to the United States over a century ago, has significantly contributed to the nation’s development;
Whereas Sikhism, the world’s fifth-largest religion with nearly 30 million adherents, boasts approximately 1 million followers residing in the United States;
Whereas Guru Nanak founded Sikhism in the 15th century in the Punjab region of India, emphasizing the equality of all individuals before God, regardless of race, gender, or creed;
Whereas the Sikh community, guided by the belief in the oneness of God, actively promotes social justice by encouraging female participation in religious services and initiating interfaith efforts to combat oppression and injustice;
Whereas the core principles of the Sikh religion, including truthful living, service to humanity, and devotion to God, inspire its followers to foster inclusive communities where everyone is respected;
Whereas the Sikh community actively demonstrates public service through leading charitable events, aligning with the foundational principles of the United States;
Whereas the people of the United States recognize the vital role played by the Sikh community in enhancing and enriching the social fabric of the nation;
Whereas Sikhs commemorate Vaisakhi on the first day of the month of Vaisakh in the Sikh calendar, typically falling on April 14; Whereas Vaisakhi holds special significance as the occasion when Sikhs 1111
remember the establishment of the Order of Khalsa in 1699—a fellowship of devout saint-soldier Sikhs—by the 10th Sikh Guru. This order played a pivotal role in shaping the religion’s history and identity;
Whereas it is entirely fitting and appropriate to celebrate Vaisakhi alongside Sikhs worldwide and honor the enduring contributions made by the Sikh community to the United States. Therefore, let it be resolved:

The City of Madera supports the designation of National Sikh Day, recognizing and celebrating the pivotal role played by the Sikh community in strengthening and inspiring the people of the United States.

Rezone Property Located on 119 South I Street (REZ 2023-03) RECOMMENDATION:

The Planning Commission and staff recommend the City Council hold a public hearing, make the necessary findings, and take actions as follows:

Waive full reading and introduce an Ordinance adopting determinations of Categorical Exemptions pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15303/Class 3 (New Construction or Conversions of Small Structures) and 15332/Class 32 (In-Fill Development Project) and amending the official City of Madera Zoning Map to rezone ±0.23 acres of property located at 119 South I Street (APN: 010-131-002) from the R3 (Residential, one unit per 1,800 square feet of site area) zone district to the C1 (Light Commercial) zone district.

SUMMARY:

Rezone Application No. REZ 2023-03 requests authorization to rezone approximately 0.23 acres of property (the project site) located at 119 South I Street from R3 (One unit per 1,800 square feet) zone district to C1 (Light Commercial) zone district. The project site is located on the northeasterly side of South I Street between West Yosemite Avenue and West 6th Street. The rezone from the R3 zone district to the C1 zone district is consistent with the Commercial General Plan land use designa�on pursuant to Table LU-A: General Plan/Zoning Consistency of the General Plan.

REZ 2023-03 has been filed to facilitate approval of a Site Plan Review (SPR 2023-18). SPR 2023- 18 proposes to develop a total of 3,870 square feet of new professional office space with four suites (840 square feet to 885 square feet per suite). The development will include a covered courtyard of 420 square feet and off-street parking to serve the proposed professional office use.

The Community Development Director will make such determinations (findings) as required pursuant to the provisions of CMC § 10-3.4.0106 and act on SPR 2023-18 in accordance with CMC § 10-3.4.0105 following Council consideration of REZ 2023-18.

The project was reviewed and considered by the Planning Commission (Commission) at the regularly scheduled meeting held on February 13, 2024. There were no public comments regarding the rezone proposal at the Commission meeting and the applicant agreed with the terms presented. The Commission adopted Resolution No. 1979 recommending the Council determine the project is Categorically Exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversions of Small Structures) and 15332 (In-Fill Development Project) and approve Rezone Application No.

REZ 2023-03.

Table 1 below provides an overview of the project site characteristics and identification of the project applicant and property owner.

Table 1: Project Overview
Project Number: REZ 2023-03 and SPR 2023-18
Applicant: Gary Rogers
Property Owner: Aftab Naz
Location: 119 South I Street (APN: 010-131-002)
Located on the northeasterly side of South I Street between West Yosemite Avenue and West 6th Street
Project Area: 0.23 Aces
Plan Land Use: C – Commercial
Zoning District: R3 – One unit per 1,800 square feet
Site Characteristics The site is a vacant interior lot designated for Commercial land uses by the General Plan.

ANALYSIS:

Site Characteristics:

The project site is a vacant infill site located on the northeasterly side of South I Street between West Yosemite Avenue and West 6th Street. The project site is surrounded by urban uses with a commercial retail/office development existing to the north (fronting West Yosemite Avenue); existing single-family residences on properties located to the south (abutting) and to the west (across South I Street); and State Route (SR)/Highway 99 to the east.

Properties located between South I Street and SR/Highway 99 between West Yosemite Avenue and West 6th Street are planned for Commercial uses by the General Plan. Properties to the west, opposite and across South I Street from the project site are planned for Office and Low-Density Residential uses.

The Commercial land use category is the City’s retail commercial land use category, which is intended to provide for a broad range of commercial uses, including professional offices, according to the General Plan. Various zoning designations shall be used to determine the specific character of commercial development, from regional shopping centers to neighborhood stores.

The City has five commercial land use zones as follows: Light Commercial, Heavy Commercial, Restricted Commercial, Neighborhood Commercial, and Highway Commercial.

For example, Light Commercial zoning in contrast to Heavy and Highway Commercial, does not permit automotive uses and permitted uses are generally limited to retail and personal service establishments without the approval of a conditional use permit. Light Commercial zoning will help ensure that the surrounding office buildings and residential neighborhood are not disrupted.

For this reason, the C1 (Light Commercial) zone district is appropriate for the project site and area as it provides for and promotes both neighborhood serving commercial retail as well as office uses at an intensity and scale which will contribute to the preservation of the characteristics and integrity of neighborhoods where single-family residential homes are present while providing commercial services and employment in proximity.

Rezone 2023-03
The project site is designated for Commercial land uses by the Madera General Plan. Policy LU32 of the Madera General Plan provides that zoning shall be consistent with General Plan land use designations. In areas where the zoning and the land use designation are not identical, Table LU-A: General Plan/Zoning Consistency of the Madera General Plan shall be used to determine consistency for rezoning applications.

The existing R3 (Residential, one unit per 1,800 square feet) zoning for the project site is inconsistent with the Commercial land use category designated by the adopted General Plan pursuant to Table LU-A of the General Plan. The applicant’s request to rezone the project site to C1 (Light Commercial) would create consistency with the site’s Commercial land use designation pursuant to Table LU-A of the General Plan. The zoning of Light Commercial would permit the construction of professional offices as a “by-right” use in accordance with the provisions of CMC § 10-3.801.

Site Plan Review 2023-18
Section 10-3.4 et seq. of the CMC establishes procedures for the review and approval of Site Plan Reviews. Pursuant to Section 10-3.4.0103 of the MMC, a site plan review is required for all new uses which involve construction or placement of new structures on a site or new uses which necessitate on-site improvements.

Pursuant to the provisions of CMC § 10-3.4.0106, before approving a proposed site plan, the Director shall determine that the proposed action is in compliance with all applicable provisions of the City Municipal Code, City General Plan, any applicable specific plans, as well as all rules and regulations applicable to the proposed development. Should REZ 2023-03 be approved by the City Council and associated environmental determinations adopted, an approval determination will be made, and action will be taken by the Director in accordance with the provisions of the CMC.

Approval will require a determination that all facilities and improvements, vehicular and pedestrian ingress, egress, and internal circulation, location of structures, services, walls, landscaping, and drainage of the site are so arranged that traffic congestion is avoided, that pedestrian and vehicular safety and welfare are protected, that there will not be adverse effects on surrounding property, that proposed lighting is so arranged as to deflect the light away from adjoining properties or public streets and that adequate provision is made to reduce adverse or potentially adverse environmental impacts to acceptable levels. In making such determination the Director shall establish that approvals are consistent with established legislative policies relating to traffic safety, street dedications, street improvements, and environmental quality. In situations where a project could have adverse impacts on traffic or circulation outside the immediate project area, the Director, with input from City Department Heads, may find that additional improvements are required. SPR 2023-18 has been reviewed and will be conditioned to meet all applicable City standards.

CALIFRONIA ENVIROMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) REVIEW:

Staff performed a preliminary environmental assessment and determined that the project is exempt under California Environmental Quality Act Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversions of Small Structures) Class 3(C)(D) and Section 15332 (In-Fill Development) Class 32.

The project site is within an urbanized area, the commercial building will not exceed 10,000 square feet in floor area, no proposed use will involve the use of hazardous substances, and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive. The proposed site is surrounded by other residential and commercial developments and is within city limits being served by public services.

FININCIAL IMPACT:

The applicant submitted entitlement fees to offset the costs associated with processing the rezone application in accordance with the City of Madera’s adopted Master Fee Schedule.

Additional fees will be required from the Planning and/or Building Departments in conjunction with any future proposed development or permitted construction on the project site.

ALTERNATIVES:

As an alternative, the Council may elect to:

1. Deny the request to rezone. Should the request be denied, the project site would remain with the current zoning district of R3 (Residential, one unit for each 1,800 square feet of site area) and processing of SPR 2023-18 will not be able to move forward.

2. Move to continue the item to a date and time certain, or refer the item back to staff, with direction to staff to provide additional information.

SUBJECT:

Contract with HdL Companies (Hinderliter, deLlamas & Associates) to Provide Consulting Services for Commercial Cannabis Business Regulation, Management and Enforcement.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution approving an Agreement between the City of Madera and HdL Companies (Hinderliter, deLlamas & Associates) to provide consulting services for commercial cannabis business regulation, management and enforcement, and establishing fees for Cannabis Business Permits.

SUMMARY:

HdL Companies (Hinderliter, deLlamas & Associates) is one of the leading firms offering cannabis regulatory and taxation program services. Their team has completed over 16,000 cannabis compliance inspections and financial audits in California, Colorado, and Nevada; and has reviewed more than 2,000 cannabis business applications. HdL has previously assisted the City of Madera as well as several other local jurisdictions with aspects of their commercial cannabis regulatory and/or taxation programs, including but not limited to, the cities of Fresno, Modesto, Farmersville, Hanford, and Oxford. HdL is also currently contracted to provide financial consulting services to the City of Madera.

On June 16, 2021, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 977 C.S., adding Chapter 5 to Title VI (Cannabis Business Ordinance) to the City of Madera Municipal Code (CMC) to permit commercial cannabis businesses within the City of Madera (City) and establish a regulatory program requiring all commercial cannabis uses to obtain a commercial cannabis business permit issued by the City prior to commencing operation and engaging in cannabis business.

The purpose and intent of the Cannabis Business Ordinance is to accommodate access to cannabis for both medicinal purposes (as recommended by health care providers) and for adult- 01425.0005/944842.1
use (persons 21 and over) in accordance with State laws. Additionally, it is the purpose and intent of the Cannabis Business Ordinance to impose sensible regulations on the use of land to protect the city's residents, neighborhoods, and businesses from disproportionately negative impacts.

This includes regulation of the commercial cultivation, processing, manufacturing, testing, sale, delivery, and distribution of cannabis and cannabis products in a responsible manner to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the city and to enforce rules and regulations consistent with state law.

In order to best ensure compliance with state and local laws pertaining to cannabis businesses in the interest of protecting the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the City as well as protecting and accommodating all interests involved, City staff recommend the Council approve a new consulting services agreement with HdL Companies to provide ongoing technical assistance and subject matter expertise not possessed by City staff. Services to be performed would include pre-license/occupancy site visits and inspections; annual post-occupancy compliance inspections; supplemental background checks for employees; and annual revenue audits of commercial cannabis businesses. It should also be noted that the Council adopted Application Procedure Guidelines and Review Criteria for Vertically Integrated, cultivation, distribution, manufacturing, and testing labs Commercial Cannabis Business Permits will require evaluation, review and scoring should any applications for such cannabis businesses be received.

In addition, the Cannabis Business Ordinance provides for various fees and charges to be paid by applicants for cannabis business permits and for operation of cannabis businesses. CMC § 6-5.37 provides that fees and charges for cannabis business operations shall be established by City Council resolution. Staff recommends the Council adopt the prices and rates identified in the Scope of Services attached to the Agreement as fees to be paid by cannabis businesses for the services to be performed.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

On May 20, 2020, the City entered into an agreement for consultation services with HdL Companies to develop a regulatory program to allow, permit, regulate and tax commercial cannabis businesses. In addition, HdL was contracted to conduct a cost recovery fee study and an analysis of potential fiscal strategies to determine appropriate permitting and regulatory fees and to develop projections for generating additional cannabis-related revenues through a cannabis tax ordinance and accompanying ballot measure.

On September 1, 2021, the Council approved the First Amendment to the agreement for Consultant Services between the City and HdL Companies relating to Cannabis. This amendment authorized additional services to include full review and evaluation of applications for cannabis businesses under the City Cannabis Business Ordinance.

On December 13, 2023, at a special meeting of the Council, the Council adopted Resolution No. 23-206 awarding six CCB Permits to Standard Retail or Microbusiness Applicants. Previously, on August 16, 2023, at a regular meeting of the Council, the Council adopted Resolution No. 23-146 01425.0005/944842.1
awarding two CCB Permits to Social Equity Applicants.

All services contracted under the prior Agreement and First Amendment thereto were satisfactorily performed and completed by HdL.

Given HdL’s experience and direct involvement in the development of the City’s cannabis business regulatory program, the evaluation of social equity and standard retail/microbusiness application, and in order to provide continuity and equitability respective to the evaluation of potential future applications, staff is recommending the Council adopt the subject resolution and approve a new contract with HdL to continue providing its technical and subject matter experience to the City for purposes of the ongoing regulation, management and enforcement of commercial cannabis businesses in the City.

A full description of the Scope of Services and prices/rates are included as Exhibit A to the Agreement attached to the proposed Resolution. These services are summarized below:
 Pre-License Site Visits
The City’s Cannabis Business Ordinance includes provisions pertaining to mandatory security measures, general operating requirements for commercial cannabis businesses and specific operating requirements respective to various types/classifications of commercial cannabis businesses. Pre-License site visits by HdL complement the final building inspection by verifying all interior and exterior physical site security requirements have been addressed in accordance with the CCB Permit application and all State and local requirements. Site visits shall examine all entrances and exits, limited access areas, locks and alarm systems, access control procedures, surveillance camera locations, safes and cash management procedures, signage, operational protocols and administrative privileges associated with the license type(s) being sought, and other requirements as necessary.

Service deliverables include an initial premises diagram review and report, coordination and arrangements with the business and other agencies, site visit, post-inspection report and any follow-up.
 Supplemental Background Checks
The City‘s Cannabis Business Ordinance (CMC § 6-5.08 et seq.) provides any person who is an owner, employee or otherwise works within a cannabis business must be legally authorized to so under state law and shall be required to submit to a criminal background check. The Cit is required to conduct criminal background checks to identify the minimum criteria of the CMC; primarily, history of various convictions of crimes.

HdL’s background checks supplement the State-required Live Scan fingerprint check, which will only disclose Department of Justice (DOJ) records regarding arrests or convictions. California’s licensing agencies are only allowed to consider convictions for certain “red line” offenses such as serious or violent felonies, or certain felonies involving 01425.0005/944842.1
fraud, minors or drug trafficking, as automatic disqualifiers before granting or denying a license. HdL’s supplemental background checks expand upon the Live Scan information to identify other factors that local governments may wish to consider before granting discretionary business licenses or permits. These considerations may include other felony offenses, misdemeanor convictions, arrest records, civil judgements, restraining orders, the terrorist screening database, the national sex offender registry, delinquent child support payments, bankruptcies, employment and credit records, and more. Our search includes up to 5 variations on the subject’s name and will alert if additional aliases are found which might warrant further investigation.

Service deliverables include providing background checks of all owners, principals, managers and/or employees of cannabis businesses against over 200 million datasets nationwide. HdL will provide an online portal for applicants to submit their application and authorization for background checks and all necessary documentation. Applicants provide their payment directly to HdL through the portal, so there is no cost to the City.

HdL offers a lower rate for annual renewals after the initial background check has been completed. HdL’s rates include an HdL-designed employee identification badge with the city or county logo which meets all State regulatory requirements.  Annual Revenue Audits
It should be noted that HdL is currently contracted to provide financial consulting services to the City. These services include sales, use, and transactions tax audits and information services, business license discovery, and business license tax audit services as well as the examination of sales, use, and transaction tax records on file with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration.

The City’s Cannabis Business Ordinance (CMC § 6-5.35 et seq.) requires each owner and operator of a cannabis business to maintain accurate books and records detailing all of the revenues and expenses of the business, and all of its assets and liabilities. Reporting and submittal to the City of statements as well as a financial audit of the business operations conducted by an independent certified public accountant are required on no less than an annual basis. Each cannabis business shall cooperate with the City with respect to any reasonable request to audit the cannabis business’ books and records for purposes of verifying compliance with local ordinance including but not limited to the amount of taxes or fees required to be paid during any period.

Subject to the proposed scope of services, HdL will conduct an annual revenue audit of each cannabis business to verify the accuracy of the revenue reported and remitted to the City during the review period and will recommend a tax assessment should the audit reveal any unreported revenue. As part of the audit process, HdL will conduct a risk-based review of each business using its proprietary Cannabis Analytical Testing System (CATS™); designed by HdL to address the unique challenges associated with auditing the cannabis industry and allowing cross-analysis of multiple business records to identify reporting 01425.0005/944842.1
variances, discrepancies and outliers to produce the most accurate measure of gross receipts on behalf of the City.

Service deliverables include performance of the annual revenue audit of each cannabis business. HdL will provide a draft audit report to the commercial cannabis business. The business will be given an appropriate opportunity to respond to or appeal the report in accordance with the City ordinance. HdL will review any documentation provided by the business to dispute the findings and will adjust the tax/fee assessment as necessary prior to issuing the final report to the City.

Services may also include assistance with administrative appeals or enforcement of audit findings, cannabis tax policy questions or guidance, or other services not directly associated with preparing the revenue audit report.
 Compliance Inspections (Post-Occupancy)
The City’s Cannabis Business Ordinance (CMC § 6-5.53 et seq.) includes provisions pertaining to Inspection and Enforcement of the provisions of the CMC. The City Manager is charged with enforcing the provisions of the Cannabis Business Ordinance and is granted authority to enter the location of a cannabis business at any time, without notice, and inspect the location, recordings and records required to be maintained pursuant to local ordinance or state law.

HdL will conduct one or more on-site compliance inspections annually, as requested by the City, for each permitted cannabis business to determine compliance with State and/or local laws. If HdL identifies any non-compliant activities, HdL will provide the City with a recommended appropriate action to address the deficiency and to ensure future compliance by the permittee.

Service deliverables include the preparation of a draft report detailing the findings of the inspections and providing recommendations for improvement where needed. If the inspection identifies any violations of the law or other non-compliance issues, then HdL will prepare a notice to comply as an included part of the report.  Technical Assistance and Subject Matter Expertise
HdL will provide additional hours of general consulting to be utilized on an as-needed basis at the City’s request. Such assistance may include technical assistance, subject matter expertise, education, monitoring of changes to State laws and regulations, participation in conference calls, responding to staff inquires via phone and email, reviewing staff reports to the City Council, assisting with responses to inquiries from the public, or other issues as mutually agreed to by the City and HdL.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Cannabis Business Ordinance provides for various fees and charges to be paid by applicants 01425.0005/944842.1
for cannabis business permits and for operation of cannabis businesses. CMC § 6-5.37 provides that fees and charges for cannabis business operations shall be established by City Council resolution. The Resolution proposed for adoption by the Council includes adoption of the charges and rates identified in the Scope of Services attached to the Agreement as fees to be paid by cannabis businesses for the services to be performed.

The execution of the Agreements provides to the fullest extent permitted by law, protections for the City from any liability with respect to having issued a cannabis business permit. The proposed Agreement is intended to be implemented as a pass-through agreement, with those services identified, to be performed on-call. Adoption of the proposed resolution, including the adoption of the charges and rates identified within the Scope of Services attached to the Agreement, will ensure that all costs associated with the implementation of the Cannabis Business Ordinance and necessary services to ensure regulation, management and enforcement are paid at the applicant’s sole cost and expense. Accordingly, there is no significant fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

Re: Service Descriptions and Pricing
Pre-License Site Visits $2,500 Per Site Visit
HdL shall review the premises diagram and conduct a site visit of each cannabis business prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Site visits shall complement the final building inspection by verifying all interior and exterior physical site security requirements have been addressed in accordance with the application and all State and local requirements. Site visits shall examine all entrances and exits, limited access areas, locks and alarm systems, access control procedures, surveillance camera locations, safes and cash management procedures, signage, operational protocols and administrative privileges associated with the license type(s) being sought, and other requirements as necessary. The HdL inspector may be accompanied on the inspection by the City’s building inspector or representatives from the Police Department and Fire Department, if desired by the City.

The cost for this service includes an initial premises diagram review and report, coordination and arrangements with the business and other agencies, site visit, post-inspection report and any follow-up. This cost assumes 10-days advance notice for scheduling and travel arrangements.

Travel will be charged at HdL’s hourly rates.

Supplemental Background Checks No Cost to City (See Below) HdL shall provide background checks of all owners, principals, managers and/or employees of cannabis businesses. Our background checks supplement the State-required Live Scan fingerprint check, which will only disclose Department of Justice (DOJ) records regarding arrests or convictions. California’s licensing agencies are only allowed to consider convictions for certain “red line” offenses such as serious or violent felonies, or certain felonies involving fraud, minors or drug trafficking, as automatic disqualifiers before granting or denying a license.

Our supplemental background checks expand upon the Live Scan information to identify other factors that local governments may wish to consider before granting discretionary business licenses or permits. These considerations may include other felony offenses, misdemeanor convictions, arrest records, civil judgements, restraining orders, the terrorist screening database, the national sex offender registry, delinquent child support payments, bankruptcies, employment and credit records, and more. Our search includes up to 5 variations on the subject’s name and will alert if additional aliases are found which might warrant further investigation.

Hdl9 Companies
120 S. State College Blvd. Suite 200 | Brea, CA 92821 | 714.879.5000 | hdlcompanies.com Our comprehensive background process checks the subject’s name and social security number against over 200 million datasets nationwide, including all of the following1:
 7 yr. unlimited county courts and criminal records search  Social Security, name and address comparison
 DMV search
 National Criminal Court report
 National Sex offender registry
 Federal criminal history
 State Department of Public Safety
 State Department of Corrections
 Terror watch list
 Bankruptcy, lien and judgments
 Delinquent child support payments
 Employment credit report
o Financial summary
o Personal information comparison
o Address comparison
o Employment comparison
o Credit bureau report / credit history
o Public records search
Any felony convictions that would be automatic disqualifiers pursuant to B&P 26057 (Violent and Serious Felony Convictions) must be confirmed through the Live Scan process. The degree to which other records may be used to inform the approval or renewal of a local business license or permit is subject to local ordinance requirements.

HdL offers separate rates for owners, principals or managers of cannabis businesses and for regular employees or line staff. We also offer a lower rate for annual renewals after the initial background check has been completed. Our rates include an HdL-designed employee identification badge with the city or county logo which meets all State regulatory requirements.

HdL provides an online portal for applicants to submit their application and authorization for background checks and all necessary documentation. Applicants provide their payment directly to HdL through the portal, so there is no cost to the City.

Prices valid as of the date of this proposal and subject to change without notice. 1 Renewals and background checks for employees include a lesser level of investigation.

120 S. State College Blvd. Suite 200 | Brea, CA 92821 | 714.879.5000 | hdlcompanies.com Annual Revenue Audits $10,000 Per Audit
HdL will conduct an annual revenue audit of each cannabis business to verify the accuracy of the revenue reported and remitted to the City during the review period and will recommend a tax assessment should the audit reveal any unreported revenue. As part of the audit process, HdL will conduct a risk-based review of each business using our proprietary Cannabis Analytical Testing System (CATS™). CATS was designed by HdL to address the unique challenges associated with auditing the cannabis industry. CATS allows audit staff to cross-analyze multiple business records to identify reporting variances, discrepancies and outliers to produce the most accurate measure of gross receipts on behalf of the City.

To initiate the process, the City shall provide HdL with a list of all licensed cannabis businesses subject to audit. HdL shall work with the City to determine the appropriate review period for each business and to develop a schedule for conducting all audits. As the time for each audit approaches, HdL will prepare a notification letter informing the licensee of the impending audit and providing a list of all records and documentation the business is required to provide, including remote access to the business’s point-of-sale (POS) system where applicable. HdL recommends that the notification letter be sent by the City to communicate HdL’s authority to conduct the audit and to encourage cooperation by the business.

The full annual audit shall include:
 Review Point-of-Sale (POS) system structure
 Review inventory system (subject to METRC data)
 Analyze and compare POS data with other available data sources, including:
o City cannabis tax returns
o State tax returns
o Federal tax returns
o METRC sales and inventory data
o CDTFA data
o Bank statements
o ATM or other merchant statements
o Sales receipts
o Other financial documents as available
 Identify any variances or over/under reporting
 Calculate any taxes or fees due to the City
 Prepare and issue report
Where cannabis cultivation is taxed on a square-footage basis, the audit shall include one annual site inspection to verify compliance with maximum permitted canopy area. Square footage audits may also consider documented findings from inspections by the City, DCC or other agencies, where available.

A business that holds multiple state cannabis licenses shall be considered a single business for audit purposes, provided that all licenses are held and operated under the same name, ownership, location, and a single tax ID number. Any variation may indicate separate business entities requiring separate audits. Any such determination shall be made on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the City.

Hdl9 Companies
120 S. State College Blvd. Suite 200 | Brea, CA 92821 | 714.879.5000 | hdlcompanies.com HdL will provide a draft audit report to the commercial cannabis business. The business will be given an appropriate opportunity to respond or appeal the report in accordance with the City ordinance. HdL will review any documentation provided by the business to dispute the findings and will adjust the tax/fee assessment as necessary prior to issuing the final report to the City.

The cost for this service assumes a standard 12-month review period. The cost for a longer term shall be increased per each additional 6-month period (2 fiscal quarters). Pricing available upon request. This cost also assumes reasonable cooperation from the licensee. Non-cooperation by the licensee may result in additional charges at HdL’s hourly rate, or in termination of the audit and potential enforcement action by the City. Any such action or additional charges would be determined in consultation with the City.

The cost does not include assistance with administrative appeals or enforcement of audit findings, cannabis tax policy questions or guidance, or other services not directly associated with preparing the revenue audit report. Any costs associated with such additional services would be billed at HdL’s hourly rate.

Compliance Inspections $2,500 Per Inspection
HdL will conduct one or more on-site compliance inspections annually, as requested by the City, for each permitted cannabis business to determine compliance with State and/or local laws. If HdL identifies any non-compliant activities, we will provide the City with a recommended appropriate action to address the deficiency and to ensure future compliance by the permittee.

The cost for these services includes all of the following:
 Notifying permittee of pending inspection
 On-site inspection to ensure that each business complies with all State and local laws and regulatory protocols for all of the following:
o Inventory management
o Cash handling procedures
o Access control
o Video surveillance
o Alarm system maintenance and safety
o Lock standards
o Packaging and labeling
o Waste management
o Transportation documentation
o Surveillance equipment maintenance
o Occupational badges
o Business records
o Other items as necessary to ensure compliance with laws  Preparation of a draft report detailing the findings of the inspection and providing recommendations for improvement where needed. If the inspection identifies any violations of law or other non-compliance issues, then HdL will prepare a notice to comply as an included part of the report.

Hdl9 Companies
120 S. State College Blvd. Suite 200 | Brea, CA 92821 | 714.879.5000 | hdlcompanies.com  All travel costs associated with the inspection, assuming a minimum of four inspections per day. If fewer than four inspections are requested, HdL will charge for travel based upon hourly rates, or a flat fee to be determined in consultation with City.  All phone, email and other communications involved in preparing for, scheduling and coordinating the inspections and providing the report.

Facilities greater than 30,000 square feet will be subject to an additional cost at HdL’s hourly rate to account for the additional time involved in conducting inspections, documenting issues of non-compliance and preparing reports. HdL will notify the City in advance if additional hourly charges are necessary to complete the inspection.

The cost for this service does not include any follow-up re-inspection or review of any documents provided to address or contest any findings of non-compliance, nor does it include any assistance with the appeal of any enforcement action by the City. Any costs associated with such additional services would be billed at HdL’s hourly rate.

Technical Assistance and Subject Matter Expertise Hourly Rate HdL will provide additional hours of general consulting to be utilized on an as-needed basis at the City’s request. Such assistance may include technical assistance, subject matter expertise, education, monitoring of changes to State laws and regulations, participation in conference calls, responding to staff inquires via phone and email, reviewing staff reports to the City Council, assisting with responses to inquiries from the public, or other issues as mutually agreed to by the City and HdL.

SUBJECT:

Authorizing Resolution for the Acceptance of the General Fund Grant for the Lions Town & Country Park Trail System Upgrades
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution Accepting the Amount of $1,100,000 from the General Fund Grant Administered by the California Natural Resources Agency for the Lions Town & Country Park Trail System Upgrades
SUMMARY:

The City has been awarded $1,100,000 under the General Fund Specified Grants Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/24 Development & Acquisition Projects. This program is administered by the State of California Natural Resources Agency (Agency).

By approving the Resolution, the Council affirms the City's commitment to effectively managing and utilizing the awarded funds for the designated project. This formal documentation strengthens the City's position in fulfilling its obligations and responsibilities, facilitating a smooth and transparent process for grant implementation.

DISCUSSION:

The Agency oversees and supports more than 26 distinct departments, conservancies, and commissions. It leads efforts to steward California’s natural environment and advance the Governor's key priorities.

This specified grant originated from a line item in the State of California fiscal year 2023-24 budget. An Authorizing Resolution is required before a contract will be issued, and an approved application packet is required before grant payments can be approved. The grant performance period is September 30, 2023 – March 1, 2027.

This funding will be used to complete trail system upgrades at Lions Town & Country Park. Staff have secured consultant services from O’Dell Engineering, which is assisting with the design and restoration plans for the trail system, construction documentation packages, and overall code compliance.

For context, the trail system, constructed over 35 years ago, is currently in a state of disrepair caused by a lack of funding to improve and upgrade trail conditions. The trail is presently made of decomposed granite. It is produced by subjecting granite parent material to erosion and weathering to weaken, thus making it easier to crush into much smaller pieces with a smooth texture ideal for gardens and footpaths. Thisinitially temporary medium has become difficult and costly to maintain as the trail system spans just under a mile in and around the park. With this weakened trail infrastructure, erosion from use, time, and weather has given way to muddy and uneven walking surfaces with numerous potholes. These unsafe conditions can reduce residents' enjoyment of the trails, leading them to abandon utilizing them altogether.

To date, O’Dell Engineering has completed topographic survey base mapping and preliminary design plans and initiated the preparation of the environmental and construction documents.

Staff understand the importance of this project and estimate it may go out to bid in the summer of 2024.

Staff will note that the City will utilize the $1,100,000 funding and $500,000 from the State of California Department of Parks and Recreation, Office of Grants and Local Services to cover costs associated with the trail system upgrades. The Council approved an Authorizing Resolution on December 20, 2023, for the $500,000 award, with Resolution No. 23-211. Accepting the $1,100,000 award would bring the total funding for trail system upgrades and park improvements to $1,600,000. As the total funding permits, additional improvement projects at the park may be considered, such as the expansion of the play area and the expansion of the parking lot, among other improvement plans.

The Lions Town & Country Park is the City of Madera’s largest park that features just under a mile trail system, amphitheater, playground, and baseball fields. Not only is the park a destination utilized for residents’ physical well-being, but it also serves as a community hub.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The submission of the Authorizing Resolution does not currently impose any financial implications on the City's budget. The City has budgeted $915,712 in FY 2023/24 in anticipation of this award and to be able to commence work on the project. Costs incurred after the performance period start date of September 1, 2023, are eligible for reimbursement. Costs to date have been incurred after this date.

This Fiscal Year, the City has already encumbered a total of $172,400 through Task Order No. 1016-2023 with O’Dell Engineering, Inc. (O’Dell). The Task Order was executed under the authority of Resolution No. 22-178, which approved consultant service agreements with various professional engineering firms for on-call services. O’Dell was one of these firms.

Funds for the $1,100,000 award will not be disbursed until a fully executed Grant Agreement between the California Natural Resources Agency and the City is signed. This is generally a reimbursement-based grant.

ALTERNATIVES:

In considering the Council’s option regarding the Authorizing Resolution, two potential alternatives are identified for consideration:

1. The Council may choose to request that staff bring additional information back to a subsequent meeting. This option allows the Council to seek further clarification on the matter but does delay the opportunity to secure this funding with an executed agreement.

2. The Council may decide not to approve the Authorizing Resolution. This choice would involve forfeiting the funds for the specified purpose and leaving the city with the financial responsibility to cover costs associated with the trail system upgrades at Lions Town & Country Park.

Since the initiation of the trail project, careful assessment and consideration have identified specific areas requiring additional attention. It has been determined that supplementary work is necessary at two sections of the trail. Additionally, following the original scoping of the project, additional damaged areas have been uncovered that must be rectified before the seal coating process can proceed effectively.

In light of these findings, it is recommended that a change order be implemented to accommodate the required adjustments and repairs. The projected cost associated with this change order amounts to $62,428.50.

DISCUSSION:

Seal Rite began work on January 30, 2024, when they started clearing/grubbing, repairing identified potholes, and filling identified cracks along the trail identified in the bid. Takeoff sheets outlined the various locations of the identified potholes and cracks. The takeoff sheets quantified the locations, components, and measurements of the potholes and cracks, as identified in early 2022.

For background, the trail conditions and the need to restore the trail surface were discussed as part of the Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Clean California Local Grant Program (CCLGP), Cycle 1, funding opportunity. During this grant application, and due to the grant's focus on revitalizing open spaces, trail restoration became a component of the grant application. The City was ultimately awarded the CCLGP funding for an award amount of $832,350 in late 2022.  With the help and support of the Engineering Department, clear technical specifications were developed for the trail work needed by the summer of 2023.  IFB No. 202324-07 was released on September 16, 2023.  Bids were due on October 16, 2023.
 The award recommendation was presented to Council on November 15, 2023.  Notice of Award provided to Seal Rite on November 21, 2023.  Seal Rite began work on January 30, 2024.

Additional cracks and potholes along the extent of the trail In mid-February, City staff conducted a comprehensive walk-through of the trail to evaluate the progress. This assessment aimed to identify any additional areas requiring attention that could impact the effectiveness of the seal coating process during the crack filling and pothole repair phase. During this inspection, staff observed an increased number of cracks, some of which had widened, along with potholes that had expanded or contributed to the deterioration of the trail edges.

On February 28, 2024, Seal-Rite and City staff members convened at the trail site to review its conditions, particularly following a significant rain event. The meeting allowed both parties to discuss the current state of the trail pavement and to deliberate on necessary actions to ensure optimal conditions for the forthcoming seal coating phase of the project. Various recommendations were proposed and discussed to address the pavement conditions effectively, aiming to facilitate a successful seal coating process.

Additional work in the Section of the trail behind Rotary Park A particular segment of the trail behind the Rotary Park pavilion, leading to the State Route 99 underpass, has been identified as requiring attention and enhancement. This section spans approximately 217 linear feet and currently maintains a width of 8 feet.

Given the increased usage and observed deterioration, it is recommended to expand the width of this trail segment from 8 feet to 10 feet. Raising the trail's elevation is also proposed to mitigate flooding issues during or after significant rain events. This elevation adjustment aims to prevent instances where the trail becomes submerged by six inches or more, thereby minimizing washouts and erosion along the trail edges.

The urgency for this recommendation is underscored by the accelerated deterioration of this section since the initial assessment of the trail in early 2022. Notably, this segment experiences heavy foot traffic on Wednesdays and Sundays, primarily due to residents visiting the flea market.

Implementing these enhancements will address existing concerns and contribute to the overall safety, accessibility, and longevity of the trail infrastructure, ensuring an improved experience for residents and visitors frequenting this popular route.

Additional work in the Section of the trail from Schnoor Street to Granada Drive Extensive alligator and spider cracking has significantly impacted approximately 400 linear feet of the trail between Schnoor Street and Granada Drive. To address this issue effectively, it is recommended that the trail be grounded in place, followed by compaction and repaving.

As a result, the project has been temporarily halted, pending presentation to the Council for further deliberation and decision-making. It is imperative that the Council be apprised of the situation and the recommended course of action to ensure the successful completion of the project and the preservation of the trail infrastructure for the benefit of the community.

Contingency Funding
It is noted that the original contract for the project did not include provisions for contingencies.

Typically, capital improvement projects incorporate a contingency allowance to address unexpected issues that may arise during construction, ensuring seamless project continuation without delays.

While the current contract lacks such provisions, staff requests that the Council approve an up to 10 percent contingency from the original contract amount. This contingency allocation would provide flexibility to address any unforeseen circumstances or additional items that may arise beyond those described in this report.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Recommendations to address additional cracks and potholes, as documented by staff, and the two sections of the trail, as described above, would result in a change order of $62,428.50. This amount stems from the following:

The CCLGP grant would cover the additional costs associated with the change order as an allowable expense related to the completion of the grant component. Expenses associated with CCLGP expenditure are summarized in Table 2.

Table 2: CCLGP Expenditures/Encumbered to Date
Playground Equipment at Riverview Park $250,536.60
Fence at Riverview Park $24,900
Trash Receptacles for Trail $56,140.18
Trail Restoration Award to Seal-Rite $190,116
Litter Abatement in River $195,000
Total Expenditures/Encumbered to Date $716,692.78
CCLGP Award Total $832,350
Balance $115,657.22
Table 2 outlines the current balance of the CCLGP award, which is $115,657.22. This balance provides adequate coverage for the proposed change order amounting to $62,428.50 and the additional contingencies requested, set at ten percent, up to an additional $19,011.60.

Furthermore, it's important to note that the remaining grant components yet to be purchased include artwork panels for trash receptacles, trail markers, and materials for installing trash receptacles. Allocating these funds to these components ensures the fulfillment of grant obligations and the enhancement of the trail infrastructure.

The remaining balance will also be earmarked for grant oversight administration costs, ensuring proper management and oversight of the grant-funded project.

Table 1: Recommended Change Order Additive Items

1. Additional 416 SQ of Potholes at $6.67 Per Bid Item Unit Price $2,774.72

2. Additional 301.2 LF of Cracks x < 1" at $3.50 Per Bid Item Unit Price $1,054.20

3. Additional 51 LF of Cracks 1" < x < 10" at $8.34 Per Bid Item Unit Price $425.34

4. Flood Prone Area behind Rotary Park - Additional 2170 SF at $12.05 Per SF Negotiated Price
$26,158.24

5. Repair Alligator/Spider Cracked Area between Schnoor and Granada - 400’x12’=4800SF, 4800SF x $6.67/SF (Unit Price for Patching) = $32,016

$32,016.00
Total Additive Amount $62,428.50
In summary, the funds available from the CCLGP award are strategically allocated to address immediate project needs, cover contingencies, and fulfill remaining grant components while accounting for administrative expenses to ensure the successful execution and completion of the project.

ALTERNATIVES:

In considering the Council’s options, three potential alternatives are identified for consideration:

1. The Council may request that staff bring additional information to a subsequent meeting.

This option allows the Council to seek further clarification on the matter but does delay the completion of the project. CCLGP is funding this project, and funds must be spent by June 30, 2024. This means the project must be completed before June 30, 2024. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of April 2024.

2. The Council may approve a portion of the change order, choosing to approve specific items and not others.

3. The Council may forfeit approval of the change order altogether, resulting in Seal Rite moving forward with the seal coating at the trail without addressing the concerns at the identified sections and the recommended additional work.

Contract Change Order for the McNally Park Basketball Courts Reconstruction Project RECOMMENDATION:

1. Adopt a Resolution Approving a Contract Change Order for the McNally Park Basketball Courts Reconstruction Project in the Amount of $35,943.89

2. Authorizing additional construction contingencies of up to 5% of the original construction agreement amount of $218,353, up to an additional $10,917.65 SUMMARY:

Following the approval of Resolution No. 24-25 by the Council on February 7, 2024, awarding the contract to Juarez Brothers General Engineering, Inc. (Juarez Brothers) for the reconstruction of two basketball courts at McNally Park, progress meetings have been conducted between Juarez Brothers and City staff to assess the project's status. Upon on-site evaluation and thorough consideration, it has been determined that additional work is required to ensure the solid construction of the basketball courts' subgrade. This recommendation arises from a commitment to deliver a high-quality and durable recreational facility that meets the community's needs and expectations.

The proposed additional work aims to address any existing deficiencies in the subgrade, thereby enhancing the structural integrity and longevity of the basketball courts.

DISCUSSION:

The reconstruction of the basketball courts at McNally Park is being funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The City was awarded $609,307 during Fiscal Year 2022/2023 to provide improvements at McNally Park. As part of Phase 1, staff has been able to:
 Installed two play structures, including swing sets.
 Installed new safety perimeter fencing at the play area.  Installed new park amenities such as picnic tables, grills, water fountains, benches, and trash cans.
 Most recently, staff purchased new music play area equipment, to expand the recreational features of the park and play opportunities.

Phase 2 included plans to reconstruct the two existing basketball courts.

Following the execution of the Notice to Proceed for the McNally Park Basketball Courts Reconstruction project, Juarez Brothers commenced mobilization, site preparation, and the demolition of the existing basketball courts at the park. However, during the demolition phase, an unexpected discovery was made regarding the thickness of the existing courts.

It was found that the basketball courts had an unusual thickness ranging from approximately 7- 8 inches, significantly exceeding the standard thickness of 2-3 inches typically observed in standard basketball courts. This unexpected deviation necessitated additional transportation resources for the removal of materials from the site, leading to increased labor and time requirements to address the unforeseen circumstances.

Subsequently, a second contingency matter arose concerning the subgrade conditions at the basketball courts. Elevated moisture levels in the subgrade caused instability, posing challenges to the construction process. In response, Juarez Brothers engaged Technicon Engineering Services, Inc. to assess the conditions and provide a professional opinion.

Technicon conducted a site inspection on March 1, 2024, and their findings are documented in Attachment 4. The report from Technicon Engineering Services, Inc. provides valuable insights into the subgrade conditions, informing necessary remedial actions to ensure the structural integrity and stability of the basketball courts during the reconstruction process.

The report from Technicon Engineering Services, Inc. outlined observations and provided recommendations to address the unstable subgrade conditions discovered. The recommendations include:
 Excavating the unstable subgrade to expose firm, native materials.  Replacement of the excavated material with Class II aggregate base or crushed rock.  Excavation depth to be 12 inches below the existing unstable subgrade elevation or until firm, native material is exposed.
 Placement of aggregate base or crushed rock on the exposed subgrade up to the original subgrade depth, followed by compaction to a minimum of 95 percent relative compaction.

On March 6, 2024, a joint on-site meeting involving representatives from Juarez Brothers, City staff, and O'Dell Engineering was convened at McNally Park to discuss the change order request and confirm subgrade conditions. During this meeting, the use of a T-handle probe by Juarez Brothers confirmed the presence of an unstable subgrade in various sections of the courts.

It's important to highlight that the construction agreement with Juarez Brothers did not include provisions for contingencies. As a result, the project has been temporarily halted pending presentation to the Council for deliberation and decision-making regarding the necessary course of action to address the identified subgrade issues.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Recommendations to address the additional material removal and the unstable subgrade conditions would result in a change order of $35,943.89. This amount stems from the following:

The additional costs associated with the change order, at the estimated cost of $35,943.89, would be covered by the CDBG grant award for the McNally Park improvements, as an allowable expense associated with the completion of the grant component. Expenses associated with the CDBG grant award related to expenditure at McNally Park are depicted in Table 2 below.

Total Cost of Phase 2 To Date $260,181.30
Total Cost of Phase 1 & 2 To Date $568,115.57
Total CDBG Award $609,307
Balance Remaining to Date $41,191.43

1. Labor, Time, And Transportation of Additional Material Removed Due to Excessive Thickness of Base
$6,893.51

2. Labor, Equipment, Materials, and Transportation to Address Unstable Subgrade Conditions
$29,050.38
Total Additive Amount $35,943.89
As Table 2 shows, the CDBG award balance is $41,191.43. This is sufficient to cover the change order of $35,943.89. The remaining grant balance would be utilized for additional contingencies as they may come up, or towards the installation of the new musical area equipment that was recently purchased to expand the play area at the park.

ALTERNATIVES:

In considering the Council’s options, three potential alternatives are identified for consideration:

1. The Council may choose to request that staff bring additional information back to a subsequent meeting. This option allows the Council to seek further clarification on the matter but does delay the completion of the project. This project is being funded by CDBG, and funds must be spent by June 30, 2024. This means the project must be completed before June 30, 2024. Currently, the project is scheduled to be completed by the beginning of April 2024. Delaying project progress also may affect the Department of Housing and Urban Development timeliness check on May 2, 2024.

2. The Council may decide to approve a portion of the change order, choosing to approve specific items, and not approving others.

3. The Council may decide to forfeit approving the change order altogether, which would result in Juarez Brothers moving forward with the construction of the basketball courts, without addressing subgrade conditions and the additional labor and materials incurred.

Project: Proposed McNally Park Basketball Court Reconstruction 825 A Street
Madera, California
Subject: Unstable Subgrade Mitigation
Dear Mr. Juarez:

TECHNICON Engineering Services, Inc. (TECHNICON) inspected the subgrade conditions at the above referenced project. This letter provides a summary of the observed subgrade conditions and provides recommendations to mitigate the observed conditions.

OBSERVATIONS
On March 1, 2024, TECHNICON observed the subgrade conditions at the proposed basketball courts at McNally Park in Madera, California. It was observed that the existing basketball courts had been removed and the exposed subgrade soil had elevated moisture conditions which caused the subgrade to pump. A T-handle probe was used to assess the depth of observed unstable subgrades. Probing indicated that firm native material was encountered at depths ranging from 8 to 12 inches below the existing elevation.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the observations, we recommend that the unstable subgrade be excavated to expose firm, native material and be replaced with Class II aggregate base or crushed rock. The depth of excavation shall be 12 inches below the existing unstable subgrade elevation or until firm, native material is exposed; whichever is shallower. After the excavation, a representative of the Geotechnical Engineer shall approve the excavation bottom. The aggregate base or crushed rock can then be placed on the exposed subgrade up to the original subgrade depth and compacted to a minimum of 95 percent relative compaction. The basketball courts can then be finished according to the approved project plans.

Unstable Subgrade Mitigation TES No. 240111.001
Proposed McNally Park Basketball Court Reconstruction, Madera, California Page 2 All excavations, placement, and compaction of engineered fill should be observed and tested by a representative of TECHNICON. The purpose of these observations is to verify that the recommendations contained herein are implemented during construction.

CLOSING
We appreciate the opportunity to provide continued services for this project. We trust this information meets your current needs. If there are any questions concerning the information presented in this report, please contact this office at your convenience.

Contract Change Order for the Centennial Park Pool Complex Upgrades and Repairs Project RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution Approving a Contract Change Order for the Centennial Park Pool Complex Upgrades and Repairs Project in the Amount of $29,000 SUMMARY:

Following Council approval of Resolution No. 24-13 on January 17, 2024, awarding a contract to New Image Pool Interiors, Inc. for improvements and repairs at the Centennial Park Pool Complex, staff have identified additional necessary upgrades. Upon examination, it has been determined that replacing the existing ADA ramp railing and several sets of grab rails with anchors around the pool and dive pool is advisable due to corrosion issues. To address these concerns, staff recommends approving a change order to accommodate these repairs, with an associated projected cost of $29,000.

DISCUSSION:

The Centennial Park Pool Complex Upgrades and Repairs Project is being funded with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) award funding. The City was awarded $215,000 for the improvements at Centennial Park Pool Complex for Fiscal Year 2023/24.

The City released IFB No. 202324-08 on December 6, 2023. Bids were due on December 20, 2023.

Regrettably no bids were received.

On January 17, 2024, staff brought the request before Council to authorize direct negotiations with a contractor, with the construction agreement not to exceed $210,000. It was at this time staff initiated the direct negotiations with New Image, a local contractor that had shown interest during the bid process but had not submitted a bid due to the CDBG Section 3 Program bid requirements. Staff and New Image were able to negotiate the construction agreement at $210,000. The Engineer’s Estimate projected the cost of the project at $217,061.

After New Image was able to provide insurance documentation, performance bond, and payment bonds. New Image began work on February 26, 2024, after a Notice to Proceed was executed.

They immediately began work to prepare the lap and dive pool for the removal of the existing plaster and tile at the pools.

For context:
 The lap pool measures 81 feet by 47 feet, with a depth of 3 ½ feet.  The lap pool covers approximately 4,703 square feet.
 The dive pool measures 34 feet by 29 feet, with a depth ranging from 8 feet to 13 feet.  The dive pool covers approximately 2,309 square feet.  The lap pool has an ADA ramp that measures 51 feet in length by 3 feet. Only a 46-foot portion of the ramp is tiled, with the remaining ramp floor not tiled towards the pool depth area.
 Both the lap pool and dive pool had a trim tile consisting of 6-inch by 6-inch tiles serving as the water line tile.

IFB No. 2023-24-08 included the following scope of work:
 Replastering of the lap pool and dive pool
 Replacement of the lap pool and dive pool waterline tile  Replacement of lap pool and dive pool safety tiles (depth, no running, no diving)  Replacement of the ADA ramp floor tile with new tile
 Replacement of 7 skimmers on the lap pool
 Replacement of 8-floor fittings on the dive pool
The IFB did not request the replacement of the railing at the lap pool ADA ramp. The work was originally not included in the initial IFB due to budget constraints and the primary scope of work included retiling, replastering, skimmer, and floor-fittings replacements as the most crucial work needing to be addressed as funding was available.

Addressing the replacement of the railing at the lap pool ramp would be optimal now, though, since the pool has been drained and the ramp has been stripped of its floor tile, leaving the area accessible to remove the existing railing and install of new railing. New Image has provided insight on the replacement of the railing and has shared that the railing is a specialty railing that would be fabricated out of state, by expert craftsmen, to the measurement needed.

It should be noted that the existing rail itself is solid and poses no immediate concerns at the moment, yet the rail is deteriorating visually with several welded patches to ensure the stability of the rail, addressing cracking. The rail does have a tremendous amount of calcium buildup, which continues to lead to the corrosion of the steel. The five grab rails along the lap and dive pool face similar corrosion conditions that would benefit from replacement, along with improvements to the pools overall.

Implementing these replacements now would address future concerns of the ramp rail and grab rails, and contribute to the overall safety, accessibility, and longevity of the infrastructure of the aquatics facility, ensuring an improved experience for users of the pool.

The recommendation is underscored by the upcoming aquatics season set to start in May 2024, and most importantly due to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) timeliness check on May 2, 2024, regarding the City’s CDBG award balances status.

The project has been temporarily halted, pending presentation to the Council for further deliberation and decision-making.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Recommendations to address the replacement of the railing on the lap pool ramp, as well as the grab rails along the pools of $29,000. This amount stems from the following:

Table 2 below outlines the current balance of the CDBG award, with expenditures to date.

Table 2: CCLGP Expenditures/Encumbered to Date
Madera Tribune for IFB Advertisement $2,304.90
New Image Pool Interiors, Inc. $210,000
Total Expenditures/Encumbered to Date $213,304.90
CDBG Award Total $215,000
Balance $2,695.10
The CDBG grant balance of $2,6950.10 would go towards the change order as an allowable expense related to the completion of the grant component. The remaining balance that would not be able to be covered by CDBG funding would be $26,304.90.

Staff is recommending using part-time salary savings from the Aquatics budget #10206230 to cover the additional costs. For Fiscal Year 2023/24, a total of $126,404 was budgeted for parttime salaries. This amount is intended for the salaries of the Certified Pool Operators who provide Table 1: Recommended Change Order Additive Items

1. Install of 2 custom handicap rails with ten (10) anchors and escutcheons $20k

2. Install of 5 sets of figure-4 grab rails with anchors and escutcheons along the lap and dive pool
$9k
Total Additive Amount $29k
year-round maintenance to the pool, the Pool Manager who provides day-to-day oversight of the pool during the aquatics season, the Head Lifeguard, the Lifeguards/Swim Instructors, and the Program Leaders who support the function of the aquatics program.

Table 3 shows a detailed description of the projected programming hours and total budgeted amount requested for Fiscal Year 2023/24.

Year to date, actual salaries spent are $49,969.94. This leaves an available balance of $76,436 through June 30, 2024. With the assumption the aquatics season will begin in mid-May with rentals being made available only. Full day, regular programming aquatics season typically starts June 1, 2024, with the onset of school out for the summer and open-swim hours in the day. Staff estimates the additional salary expenditure as follows through June 30, 2024, as shown in Table 4 below.

Table 3: Aquatics Program Projected Part-Time Program Hours and Salary Needs for FY 23/24 Position Hours Estimated Rate Total
Facility Aide, CPO (x2) 896 $16.00 $14,336
Pool Manager (x1) 480 $17.50 $8,400
Head Lifeguard (x1) 480 $17.00 $8,160
Lifeguard/Swim Instructor (x12) 5,760 $16.00 $92,160
Program Leader I (x3) 216 $16.00 $3,348
Total $126,404

Facility Aide, CPO (x2) 300 $16.00 $4,800
Pool Manager (x1) 180 $17.50 $3,150

Program Leader I (x3) 120 $16.00 $1,920
Total $44,930
FY 23/24 Budgeted Part-Time Salaries $126,404
FY 23/24 Actual YTD $49,969.94
End-of-Year Projected Part-Time Salaries Expenditure $94,899.94 Balance Anticipated $31,504.06
In summary, there is an anticipated balance available from the aquatics part-time salaries budget of $31,504.06. This would be sufficient to cover the change order at the needed amount of $26,304.90 not able to be funded by CDBG award funding.

ALTERNATIVES:

In considering the Council’s options, there is one potential alternative identified for consideration:

1. The Council may forfeit approval of the change order altogether, resulting in New Image moving forward with the remaining scope of work without addressing the recommended additional work.
