ARTICLE 1: BIDS/PROPOSALS INCORPORATED
In addition to the whole Master Agreement, the following documents listed in order of priority are incorporated into the Master Agreement by reference: Bid/Proposal Specifications and Contractor’s Response to the Bid/Proposal.
ARTICLE 2: END USER MASTER AGREEMENTS (“EUA”)
H-GAC acknowledges that the END USER, which is the HGACBuy customer utilizing the contract (CUSTOMER and END USER may be used interchangeably) may choose to enter into an End User Master Agreement (EUA) with the Contractor through this Master Agreement. A CUSTOMER/END USER is a state agency, county, municipality, special district, or other political subdivision of a state, or a qualifying non-profit corporation (providing one or more governmental function or service that possess legal authority to enter into the Contract. The term of the EUA may exceed the term of the current H-GAC Master Agreement.
H-GAC’s acknowledgement is not an endorsement or approval of the End User Master Agreement’s terms and conditions. Contractor agrees not to offer, agree to or accept from the CUSTOMER/END USER, any terms or conditions that conflict with those in Contractor’s Master Agreement with H-GAC. Contractor affirms that termination of its Master Agreement with H-GAC for any reason shall not result in the termination of any underlying EUA, which shall in each instance, continue pursuant to the EUA’s stated terms and duration.
Pursuant to the terms of this Master Agreement, termination of this Master Agreement will disallow the Contractor from entering into any new EUA with CUSTOMER/END USER. Applicable H-GAC order processing charges will be due and payable to H-GAC on any EUAs, surviving termination of this Master Agreement between H-GAC and Contractor.
ARTICLE 3: MOST FAVORED CUSTOMER CLAUSE
Contractor shall provide its most favorable pricing and terms to H-GAC. If at any time during this Master Agreement, Contractor develops a regularly followed standard procedure of entering into Master Agreements with other governmental customers within the State of Texas, and offers the same or substantially the same products/services offered to H-GAC on a basis that provides prices, warranties, benefits, and or terms more favorable than those provided to H-GAC, Contractor shall notify H-GAC within ten (10) business days thereafter, and this Master Agreement shall be deemed to be automatically retroactively amended, to the effective date of Contractor’s most favorable past Master Agreement with another entity. Contractor shall provide the same prices, warranties, benefits, or terms to H-GAC and its CUSTOMER/END USER as provided in its most favorable past Master Agreement. H-GAC shall have the right and option at any time to decline to accept any such change, in which case the amendment shall be deemed null and void. If Contractor claims that a more favorable price, warranty, benefit, or term that was charged or offered to another entity during the term of this Master Agreement, does not constitute more favorable treatment, than Contractor shall, within ten (10) business days, notify H-GAC in writing, setting forth the detailed reasons Contractor believes the aforesaid DocuSign Envelope ID: E4D77477-E07A-45AE-A42F-916BF5C46EDC
offer is not in fact most favored treatment. H-GAC, after due consideration of Contractor’s written explanation, may decline to accept such explanation and thereupon this Master Agreement between H-GAC and Contractor shall be automatically amended, effective retroactively, to the effective date of the most favored Master Agreement, to provide the same prices, warranties, benefits, or terms to H-GAC and the CUSTOMER/END USER.
EXCEPTION: This clause shall not be applicable to prices and price adjustments offered by a bidder, proposer, or contractor, which are not within bidder's/proposer’s control [example; a manufacturer's bid concession], or to any prices offered to the Federal Government and its agencies.

Contractor agrees either to refund the purchase price or to repair or replace product(s) that are not as warranted.
Contractor accepts liability to repay, and shall repay upon demand to CUSTOMER/END USER, any amounts determined by H-GAC, its independent auditors, or any state or federal agency, to have been paid in violation of the terms of this Master Agreement.
ARTICLE 5: GOVERNING LAW & VENUE

H-GAC will invoice Contractor for the applicable order processing charge when H-GAC receives notification of a CUSTOMER/END USER order.

Payment of the Order Processing Charge shall be remitted from Contractor to H-GAC, within thirty (30) calendar days or ten (10) business days after receipt of a CUSTOMER/END USER’s payment, whichever comes first, notwithstanding Contractor’s receipt of invoice. For sales made by Contractor based on this Master Agreement, including sales to entities without Interlocal Master Agreements, Contractor shall pay the applicable order processing charges to H-GAC. Further, Contractor agrees to encourage entities who are not members of H-GAC’s Cooperative Purchasing Program to execute an H-GAC Interlocal Master Agreement. H-GAC reserves the right to take appropriate actions including, but not limited to, Master Agreement termination if Contractor fails to promptly remit the appropriate order processing charge to H-GAC.
In no event shall H-GAC have any liability to Contractor for any goods or services a CUSTOMER/END USER procures from Contractor. At all times, Contractor shall remain liable to pay to H-GAC any order processing charges on any portion of the Master Agreement actually performed, and for which compensation was received by Contractor.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
Approved by: Council Meeting of: November 20, 2024
Agenda Number: ___________
________________________________
Joseph Hebert, Parks & Community Services Director
_________________________________
Arnoldo Rodriguez, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Consideration of California Conservation Corps (CCC) Sponsor Agreement RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution Approving a Sponsor Agreement with the California Conservation Corps (CCC) for Performance of Work Projects
SUMMARY:
City staff and the California Conservation Corps (CCC) have been in discussions to reinstate a laborrelated sponsor agreement. The previous agreement expired in July 2022. Under the terms of the proposed one-year agreement, the CCC will provide essential manpower for managing vegetation and bush growth along and around the Fresno River. The City’s financial commitment will be limited to covering material costs and any minor labor expenses that may arise. This important collaboration is formalized in the Sponsor Agreement between the City and CCC.
DISCUSSION:
Over the last couple of years, the City has made significant strides in managing vegetation growth along the Fresno River, leveraging resources from City staff, including the recently established Safe & Clean Team, as well as the Streets and Parks divisions, CalFire, Madera Irrigation District, and the California Conservation Corps (CCC). While the City has taken the lead in these efforts, all participating teams have contributed valuable equipment and personnel. Despite the recent acquisition of additional equipment, the 3.5-mile stretch of river continues to present challenges, including dense brush growth, illegal dumping, and homeless encampments.
D-3
With renewed support from the CCC, the City is well-positioned to sustain these efforts and may even expand its activities to include tree trimming and other landscape maintenance. The CCC, a state organization dedicated to conservation and emergency response, actively supports habitat restoration and disaster recovery. Through the proposed one-year agreement, the City will gain essential CCC manpower to enhance cleanup and vegetation management along the Fresno River.
As with previous agreements, the City’s financial responsibility will be limited to material costs and minor labor expenses if required. This collaboration, formalized in the Sponsor Agreement, will allow continued focus on preserving and improving the natural landscape along the Fresno River.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City will contribute no more than $5,000. This cost will cover miscellaneous equipment and employee costs. These funds will be provided out of the Parks Maintenance budget, #10206100- 6610 Contingency.
ALTERNATIVES:
As an alternative, the Council may also elect to request additional information be brought forth at the next meeting to make a more informed decision. Council may also elect to not enter into the Sponsor Agreement with the CCC.

8A. CLAIMS RESOLUTION PROCESS FOR DISPUTES.
It is the intent of this Contract that disputes regarding the Contract be resolved promptly and fairly between the Contractor and the Owner. However, it is recognized that some disputes will require detailed investigation and review by one or both parties before a determination and resolution can be reached. For the protection of the rights of both the Contractor and the Owner, the following provisions are provided for the resolution of disputes which cannot be resolved by the Owner and the Contractor within three business days after either party gives verbal notice of dispute or potential dispute to the other's attention and prior to the commencement of such work.
The following provisions are intended by Contractor and Owner to comply with Public Contract Code Sections 9204 and 20104 et. seq.
A. Claims:
The term “claim” refers to a separate demand by Contractor sent by registered mail or certified mail with return receipt requested, for one or more of the following:
1. A time extension, including, without limitation, for relief from damages or penalties for delay assessed by Owner under this Contract.
2. Payment by the Owner of money or damages arising from work done by, or on behalf of, the Contractor pursuant to the Contract and payment for which is not otherwise expressly provided or to which the Contractor is not otherwise entitled.
3. Payment of an amount that is disputed by the Owner.
B. The Claim Must Be Timely and in Writing:
For all claims the claim must be in writing and include the documents necessary to substantiate the claim. A notice of potential claim must be filed within five (5) business days of Contractor’s completion of work that is a potential claim. Notice of an actual claim must be filed on or before the date of final payment.
C. Receipt of Claim by Owner:
Upon receipt of a claim pursuant to this section, the Owner will conduct a reasonable review of the claim and, within a period not to exceed 45 days from the date of receipt, will provide the Contractor with a written statement identifying what portion of the claim is disputed and what portion is undisputed. Upon receipt of a claim, Owner and Contractor may, by mutual agreement, extend the time period provided in this section.
The Contractor shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. If additional information is thereafter required, it shall be requested and provided upon mutual agreement by the Owner and the Contractor. The District's written response to the claim, as further documented, shall be submitted to the claimant within 30 days after receipt of the further documentation, or within a period of time no greater than that taken by the Contractor in producing the additional information or requested documentation.
D. City Council Approval:
If the Owner needs approval from the City Council to provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion of the claim, and the City Council does not meet within the 45 days or within the mutually agreed to extension of time following receipt of a claim sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the Owner shall have up to three days following the next duly publicly noticed regular meeting of the City Council after the 45-day period or extension expires to provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion.
E. Payment of Claim:
Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the Owner issues its written statement. If the Owner fails to issue a written statement, paragraph F below shall apply.
F. Meet and Confer:
If the Contractor disputes the Owner’s written response, or if the Owner fails to respond to a claim issued pursuant to this section within the time prescribed, the Contractor may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand in writing sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the Owner shall schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the dispute.
Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the claim or any portion of the claim remains in dispute, the Owner shall provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the portion of the claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the Owner issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the claim, as identified by the contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with the Owner and the Contractor sharing the associated costs equally. The Owner and Contractor shall mutually agree to a mediator within 10 business days after the disputed portion of the claim has been identified in writing. If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the claim. Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. If mediation is unsuccessful, the parts of the claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to applicable procedures outside this section.
Under this Contract, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including, but not limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an independent third party or board assists the parties in dispute resolution through negotiation or by issuance of an evaluation.
Any mediation utilized shall conform to the timeframes in this section.
Unless otherwise agreed to by the Owner and the Contractor in writing, the mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under Public Contract Code Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced.

3.6 of Title 1 of the Government Code Section 900.
H. Owner’s Failure to Respond to Claim:
Failure by the Owner to respond to a claim from Contractor within the time periods described above or to otherwise meet the time requirements set forth above shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is denied by reason of the Owner’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the Contractor.
I. Interest:
Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by this section shall bear interest at 7 percent per annum.
J. Subcontractor Claims:
If a subcontractor or a lower tier subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a claim against Owner because privity of contract does not exist, the Contractor may present to the Owner a claim on behalf of a subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “subcontractor’ means any type of subcontractor within the meaning of Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 7000) of Division 3 of the Business and Professions Code who either is in direct contract with the Contractor or is a lower tier subcontractor. A subcontractor may request in writing, either on his or her own behalf or on behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, that the Contractor present a claim for work which was performed by the subcontractor or by a lower tier subcontractor on behalf of the subcontractor. The subcontractor requesting that the claim be presented to the Owner shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. Within 45 days of receipt of this written request, the Contractor shall notify the subcontractor in writing as to whether the contractor presented the claim to the Owner and, if the original contractor did not present the claim, provide the subcontractor with a statement of the reasons for not having done so.
K. Filing of Action on Unresolved Claims:
The parties shall follow the procedures set forth in Public Contracts Code Section 20104.4 if an action is filed to resolve claims under the foregoing provisions. Any action shall be filed in Madera County.
9. Attention is directed to Section 1735 of the Labor Code, which reads as follows:
“No discrimination shall be made in the employment of persons upon public works because of the race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical conditions, marital status, or sex of such persons except as provided in Section 12940 of the Government Code, and every contractor for public works violating this section is subject to all the penalties imposed for by violation of this chapter”.
10. In accordance with the provisions of Article 5, Chapter l, Part 7, Division 2 (commencing with Section 1860) and Chapter 4, Part l, Division 4 (commencing with Section 3700) of the Labor Code of the State of California, the CONTRACTOR is required to secure the payment of compensation to his employees and shall for that purpose obtain and keep in effect adequate Worker’s Compensation Insurance.
The undersigned CONTRACTOR is aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which requires every employer to be insured against Liability for Worker’s Compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions before commencing the performance of the WORK of this Agreement.
11. The CONTRACTOR shall comply with Part 7, Chapter l, Article 2, Section 1775 of the Labor Code of the State of California. The CONTRACTOR shall, as a penalty to the OWNER, forfeit fifty dollars ($50.00) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each workman paid less than the prevailing rates for such work or craft in which such workman is employed for any public work done under the Contract by him or by any SUBCONTRACTOR under him. The difference between such prevailing wage rates and the amount paid to each workman for each calendar day or portion thereof for which each workman was paid less than a prevailing wage rate, shall be paid to each workman by the CONTRACTOR.
12. The CONTRACTOR shall comply with Part 7, Chapter l, Article 2, Section 1776 of the Labor Code of the State of California. The CONTRACTOR shall keep and require that all SUBCONTRACTORS keep accurate payroll records showing the name, address, social security number, work classification, straight time and overtime hours worked each day and week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice worker or other employee employed by him in connection with public work. Such payroll records shall be certified and shall be available for inspection at all reasonable hours at the principal office of the CONTRACTOR by the OWNER, its officers and agents and to the representatives of the Division of Labor Law Enforcement of the State Department of Industrial Relations. In the event of non-compliance with the requirements of Section 1776, the CONTRACTOR shall have 10 days in which to comply subsequent to receipt of written notice specifying in what respects the CONTRACTOR must comply. Should non-compliance still be evident after the ten (10) day period, the CONTRACTOR shall, as a penalty to the OWNER forfeit twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker until strict compliance is effectuated. Upon the request of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, these penalties shall be withheld from progress payments then due.
13. Attention is directed to the provisions in Sections 1777.5 and 1777.6 of the Labor Code concerning the employment of apprentices by the CONTRACTOR or any SUBCONTRACTOR under him. It is the CONTRACTOR’S responsibility to ensure compliance by both itself and all SUBCONTRACTORS.
Section 1777.5 provides, in part, as follows:
The CONTRACTOR or SUBCONTRACTOR, if he is covered by this section, upon the issuance of the approval certificate, or if he has been previously approved in the craft or trade, shall employ the number of apprentices or the ratio of apprentices to journeyman stipulated in the apprenticeship standards. Upon proper showing by the CONTRACTOR that he employs apprentices in the craft or trade in the State on all of his/her contracts on an annual average of not less than one hour of apprentice work for every five hours of labor performed by a journeyman, or in the land surveyor classification, one apprentice for each five journeyman, the Division of Apprenticeship Standards may grant a certification exempting the CONTRACTOR from the one (1) to five (5) hourly ratio as set forth in this section. This section shall not apply to contracts of general CONTRACTORS or to contracts of specialty contractors not bidding for work through a general or prime CONTRACTOR, when the contracts of general CONTRACTORS, or those specialty CONTRACTORS involve less than thirty thousand dollars ($30,000).
Any work performed by a journeyman in excess of eight hours per day or forty (40) hours per week shall not be used to calculate the hourly ratio required by this section.
Apprenticeable craft or trade, as used in this section, shall mean a craft or trade determined as an apprenticeable occupation in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the Apprenticeship Council. The joint apprenticeship committee shall have the discretion to grant a certificate, which shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator of Apprenticeship, exempting a CONTRACTOR from the 1 to 5 ratio set forth in this section when it finds that any one of the following conditions is met:
(a) In the event unemployment for the previous three-month period in such area exceeds an average of 15 percent, or
(b) In the event the number of apprentices in training in such area exceeds a ratio of 1 to 5, or (c) If there is a showing that the apprenticeable craft or trade is replacing at least one-thirtieth of its journeymen annually through apprenticeship training, either (1) on a statewide basis, or (2) on a local basis, or
(d) If assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under a public works contract would create a condition which should jeopardize his life or the life, safety, or property of fellow employees, or the public at large or if the specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned is of a nature that training cannot be provided by a journeyman.
When such exemptions are granted to an organization which represents CONTRACTORS in a specific trade from the 1 to 5 ratio on a local or statewide basis the member CONTRACTORS will not be required to submit individual applications for approval to local joint apprenticeship committees, provided they are already covered by the local apprenticeship standards.
The CONTRACTOR is required to make contributions to funds established for the administration of apprenticeship programs if he employs registered apprentices or journeymen in apprenticeable trade on such contracts and if other CONTRACTORS on the public work site are making such contributions. The CONTRACTOR, and any SUBCONTRACTOR under him, shall comply with the requirements of Sections 1777.5 and 1777.6 of the Labor Code in the employment of apprentices.
Information relative to number of apprentices, identifications, wages, hours of employment and standards of working conditions shall be obtained from the Division of Apprenticeship Standards.
Consult the white pages of your telephone directory under California, State of, Industrial Relations, Apprenticeship Standards, for the telephone number and address of the nearest office. Willful failure by the CONTRACTOR to comply with the provisions of Sections 1777.5 will subject the CONTRACTOR to the penalties set forth in Section 1777.7 of the Labor Code.
14. Pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1813, eight hours in any one calendar day and forty (40) hours in any calendar week shall be the maximum hours any workman is required or permitted to work, except in cases of extraordinary emergency caused by fires, flood, or danger to life and property. The CONTRACTOR doing the work, or his duly authorized agent, shall file with OWNER a report, verified by his oath, setting forth the nature of the said emergency, which report shall contain the name of said worker and the hours worked by him on the said day, and the CONTRACTOR and each SUBCONTRACTOR shall also keep an accurate record showing the names and actual hours worked of all workers employed by him in connection with the work contemplated by this Agreement, which record shall be open at all reasonable hours to the inspection of the OWNER, or its officer or agents and to the Chief of all Division of Labor Statistics and Law Enforcement of the Department of Industrial Relations, his deputies or agents; and it is hereby further agreed that said CONTRACTOR shall forfeit as a penalty to the OWNER the sum of Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) for each laborer, workman or any SUBCONTRACTOR under him for each calendar day during which such laborer, workman or mechanic is required or permitted to labor more than eight (8) hours in violation of this stipulation.
Overtime and shift work may be established as a regular procedure by the CONTRACTOR with reasonable notice and written permission of the OWNER. No work other than overtime and shift work established as a regular procedure shall be performed between the hours of 6:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M. nor on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays except such work as is necessary for the proper care and protection of the work already performed or in case of an emergency.
CONTRACTOR agrees to pay the costs of overtime inspection except those occurring as a result of overtime and shift work established as a regular procedure. Overtime inspection shall include inspection required during holidays, Saturdays, Sundays and weekdays. Costs of overtime inspection will cover engineering, inspection, general supervision and overhead expenses which are directly chargeable to the overtime work. CONTRACTOR agrees that OWNER shall deduct such charges from payments due the CONTRACTOR.
15. The CONTRACTOR shall comply with Division 2, Chapter 4, Part 1 of the Public Contract Code relating to subletting and subcontracting, specifically included but not limited to Sections 4104, 4106, and 4110, which by this reference are incorporated into this Agreement as though fully set forth herein.
16. The CONTRACTOR and the OWNER agree that changes in this Agreement or in the work to be done under this Agreement shall become effective only when written in the form of a supplemental agreement or change order and approved and signed by the OWNER and the CONTRACTOR. It is specifically agreed that the OWNER shall have the right to request any alterations, deviations, reductions or additions to the contract or the plans and specifications or any of them, and the amount of the cost thereof shall be added to or deducted from the amount of the contract price aforesaid by fair and reasonable valuations thereof.
This contract shall be held to be completed when the work is finished in accordance with the original plans and specifications as amended by such changes. No such change or modification shall release or exonerate any surety upon any guaranty or bond given in connection with this contract.
17. Contractor shall indemnify, defend with legal counsel approved by City, and hold harmless City, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, and cost (including without limitation reasonable legal counsel fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with Contractor's negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct in the performance of work hereunder, or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this AGREEMENT, except such loss or damage caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of the City. Should conflict of interest principles preclude a single legal counsel from representing both City and Contractor, or should City otherwise find Contractor’s legal counsel unacceptable, then Contractor shall reimburse the City its costs of defense, including without limitation, reasonable legal counsel fees, expert fees, and all other costs and fees of litigation.
The Contractor shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against the City (and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) with respect to claims determined by a trier of fact to have been the result of the Contractor’s negligent, reckless, or wrongful performance. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this Agreement.
Contractor obligations under this section apply regardless of whether or not such claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost, expense, judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by an Indemnitee. However, without affecting the rights of City under any provision of this agreement, Contractor shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless City for liability attributable to the active negligence of City, provided such active negligence is determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In instances where City is shown to have been actively negligent and where City’s active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the obligation of Contractor will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of City.
Contractor agrees to obtain or cause to be obtained executed defense and indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth in this Section from each and every Subcontractor and Subconsultant, of every Tier. In the event the Contractor fails to do so, Contractor agrees to be fully responsible to provide such defense and indemnification according to the terms of this Section.
18. Contractor must comply with the insurance requirements as described in the section “INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTRACTOR”, pages 39-40 of the Contract Documents.
19.

Arnoldo Rodriguez, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Fifth Amendment to the City Clerk At-Will Employment Agreement RECOMMENDATION:
This report has been prepared at the direction of the City Council (Council), therefore there is no staff recommendation provided. Council is asked to consider and determine whether to adopt the Resolution approving a Fifth Amendment to the City Clerk At-Will Employment Agreement.
Announcement by Mayor - Pursuant to Government Code § 54953 (c) (3), prior to taking action on this item, the Council must publicly announce a summary of the action being considered. If approved, the proposed amendment to the City Clerk’s Employment Agreement will modify the existing agreement as follows:
▪ Extend the term of the agreement by two (2) additional years to August 26, 2028; ▪ Effective on her merit anniversary date of August 26, 2024, one merit step due to satisfactory performance to Step F of City of Madera Salary Schedule Range 419 which is $95,372.96 per year; and
▪ Continue eligibility for the Holiday Closure benefit between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day if provided as a benefit to City employees in the Mid Management group.
SUMMARY:
The Council conducted the City Clerk’s performance evaluation. The results of the evaluation were very positive. The parties wish to amend the Employment Agreement to provide a term extension of two (2) years, reflect a merit step increase due to satisfactory performance, and continue eligibility for participation in the Holiday Closure when offered to represented City employees.
D-5
DISCUSSION:
The City Clerk is a direct report of the City Council and the terms and conditions of her employment are set in an Agreement between the Council and the employee. The current City Clerk’s Agreement was initially negotiated and approved in August 2019 and contained benefits similar to other management employees at that time. Since that time, the Agreement was amended as follows:
First Amendment: October 7, 2020
▪ Extended term from August 2022 to August 2025
▪ Awarded a merit step increase from Step A to Step B for satisfactory job performance effective on her anniversary date of August 26, 2020 Second Amendment: October 20, 2021
▪ Awarded a merit step increase from Step B to Step C for satisfactory job performance effective on her anniversary date of August 26, 2021 ▪ Provided for a one-time lump sum payment of $1,500 to be paid on the October 29, 2021, pay date
Third Amendment: December 7, 2022
▪ Awarded a merit step increase from Step C to Step D for satisfactory job performance effective on her anniversary date of August 26, 2022 ▪ Provided for 2% Cost of Living adjustments effective:
▪ 12/31/2022
▪ 6/17/2023
▪ 12/30/2023
▪ 6/15/2024
▪ 12/28/2024
▪ Provided lump sum payments of $1,500 the first paycheck of July 2023 and July 2024
▪ Provided for participation in the City’s Holiday Closure between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day 2022, 2023, and 2024
Fourth Amendment: December 6, 2023
▪ Extended term from August 2025 to August 2026
▪ Awarded a merit step increase from Step D to Step E for satisfactory job performance effective on her anniversary date of August 26, 2023 The City Clerk’s 2024 performance evaluation was recently completed with positive results.
Based on satisfactory job performance, the City Clerk is eligible for a merit step increase from Step E to Step F on the salary range assigned to the City Clerk position, shown in Table 1 below.
The proposed Fifth Amendment to the City Clerk’s Agreement provides for award of the merit step increase.
Table 1: City Clerk Salary Steps (annual equivalent rounded to nearest dollar) Range Step A Step B Step C Step D Step E Step F
419 $74,716 $78,465 $82,378 $86,498 $90,825 $95,372
The proposed Fifth Amendment also includes a two (2) year term extension to August 26, 2028, and continues the employee’s eligibility to participate in the Holiday Closure benefit when offered to represented employees of City. The existing Third Amendment to the Agreement provided for the Holiday Closure specifically in calendar years 2023 and 2024; the proposed Fifth Amendment ties ongoing participation in the Holiday Closure to whether or not represented employees are offered the benefit in future years.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The proposed Fifth Amendment will award one merit step increase on the adopted salary schedule, which was anticipated in the adopted budget. Extension of the term does not in and of itself create additional financial impact. If future Holiday Closures beyond calendar year 2024 are granted to the Mid Management Employee Group, employee will be eligible to participate and the value of staff time during the closure will be determined by the pay rate at that time and the applicable days of the week involved in the closure.
ALTERNATIVES:
If the Council does not take action on the resolution, the existing agreement terms will continue.
Council may also determine to conduct further negotiations on the Employment Agreement.

November 20, 2024 Agenda

Mid Valley Disposal Annual Update
Recommendation: This report is submitted for informational purposes only and there is no action requested from the City Council (Council) (Report by Mid Valley Disposal)
There is no written report for this item.
REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
Approved by: Council Meeting of: November 20, 2024
Agenda Number: ___________
_________________________________
Arnoldo Rodriguez, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Informational Report on downtown Holiday Decorations
RECOMMENDATION:
This report is submitted for informational purposes. Staff will receive comments and direction from the City Council (Council) as may be offered.
SUMMARY:
At the October 30, 2024, Council meeting, Council requested an update on the City’s holiday decoration efforts. This report outlines current initiatives, and Council may further direct staff to explore additional options for expanding or enhancing decorations as desired.
DISCUSSION:
This item was prepared at the request of the Council. For background, decades ago, the City installed holiday lighting throughout the community. While the specific reasons for discontinuing this practice are unclear, budget constraints, including installation costs, ongoing electric bills, and maintenance, are assumed to be factors. Additionally, as Yosemite Avenue is a State highway managed by Caltrans, installing decorations across the roadway requires an encroachment permit.
In recent years, the City discontinued the installation of seasonal banners on street light poles, as the banners were missing until the Downtown Business Association (DBA) indicated at their November 13, 2024, meeting that they had located them. The DBA has requested that the City install approximately 18 banners before the annual parade, and staff will coordinate this installation, pending the banners’ condition.
Downtown businesses also feature white holiday lighting atop their buildings, maintained by the DBA, which collects revenue from these businesses. However, maintenance costs have recently increased, and while the lights remain functional, they will require eventual replacement.
E-2
Repairs by individual businesses have also led to some lights not being reinstalled, resulting in inconsistent lighting coverage.
Although the City does not directly provide downtown holiday lighting, last year it decorated City Hall with lights and wreaths, a practice that is planned again this year. Additionally, the City’s adopted budget includes $10,000 for a community Christmas tree lighting. While staff identified a tree at Courthouse Park, vendor availability has limited the City’s ability to provide lighting, and coordination with the County will be needed to proceed as the park is County property.
To support the Annual Christmas Light Parade, the City will:
Enter several floats in the parade.
Clean the parade route before and after the event at no additional cost. Distribute glow sticks to youth, as was done last year.
Looking Ahead
The upcoming Caltrans rehabilitation project on Yosemite Avenue, which includes a road diet, presents an opportunity to consider decorative features for future holiday seasons.
Considerations include:
Upfront costs for purchase and installation.
Utility expenses if additional lighting is installed. Storage responsibilities for decorations.
Alternative Options for Consideration
While the City has recently aimed to enhance its holiday decorations, staff remains sensitive to costs. However, with Council’s direction, staff is prepared to explore additional options.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
The financial impact to prepare this report are nominal and future financial implications are dependent on Council direction. This year, the City has some funds for a community holiday day tree lighting and expended approximately $2k on glow sticks. Not included is the cost for the day of the event, such as City participation and cleaning pre and post event.
ALTERNATIVES:
Staff welcomes any direction the Council may provide. Based on Council's feedback, potential next steps could include a request for staff to conduct further analysis or explore alternative options for decorations. This phased approach will enable the Council to make informed decisions while considering fiscal sustainability and community needs.

SUBJECT:
Informational Report on Potential Splash Pad Project at Lions Town & Country Park RECOMMENDATION:
This report is submitted for informational purposes. Staff will receive comments and direction as may be offered from the City Council (Council)
SUMMARY:
During the October 30, 2024, Council meeting, a member of the public proposed the addition of a splash pad at Lions Town & Country Park (LT&C Park). Council directed staff to explore the feasibility of this project during the same Council meeting, under discussion of future agenda items requested.
DISCUSSION:
This item was prepared at Council’s direction. While the focus is on the feasibility of a new splash pad at LT&C Park, it is worth noting that the City has an inoperable one at Rotary Park.
The existing splash pad is inoperable due to several reasons. These include the initial design of the splash pad housing all electrical equipment underground in a vault, but the vault is too close to the water feature, causing flooding in the vault. This in turn disrupts the electrical components, causing breakages, or issues with the motor. Also, due to the regular humidity of the vault, corrosion to the equipment was an ongoing issue. The upkeep of the splash pad, when it was turned on, required almost weekly replacement of parts and daily staff oversight. The splash pad also has issues with the chlorinator analyzer, which due to the corrosion, would have issues being able to analyze chlorine levels for a safe chemical balance. The chlorinator is located in the vault underground, being exposed to the flooding, humidity, and thus corrosion. If this splash pad was E-4
to become operable again, all existing equipment including controls, breakers, pumps, and chlorinator, would need to be replaced due to the severe corrosion. The replacement would not address the underlying issue of the initial design of the splash pad, that leads to flooding of the underground vault, high levels of humidity, corrosion, and in turn constant malfunction of the equipment because of these factors.
While City staff acknowledges the need for additional park amenities, staff is also mindful of the increased costs associated with maintaining these improvements. In response to community interest and within existing budgetary constraints, staff has taken steps to enhance current amenities. This past summer, for instance, the City extended the operating hours of the Centennial Park Pool Complex to accommodate more residents. Rental opportunities were offered through September, and additional open-swim days and hours were added. Staff also made every effort to meet the high demand for swimming lessons, which filled up quickly, to provide the community with greater access to water-based recreation.
These adjustments aim to balance community needs with sustainable operations, while future improvements are considered and prioritized based on available funding and resources.
Regardless, staff has conducted a preliminary review, including obtaining initial estimates, to assess the feasibility of installing a splash pad at LT&C. To gain insights, City staff reached out to neighboring jurisdictions with existing splash pads, such as the cities of Kingsburg, Reedley, and Sanger. Additionally, staff obtained design inputs from these jurisdictions and consulted with a reputable supplier and installer of splash pads to explore potential design and infrastructure options. The following are some insights:
A. Infrastructure Requirements
Water Supply and Drainage: Preliminary evaluation shows that LT&C Park would require significant upgrades to support a splash pad. This includes enhancements to water supply, filtration, and drainage infrastructure. Currently, without an in-depth engineering and public works assessment of the site, the LT&C Park is deemed as lacking the necessary water connections, filtration systems, and wastewater capacity for a splash pad. Regulatory compliance: The project would need to adhere to water conservation guidelines, accessibility standards, and any other state or local regulations related to splash pad installations, adding another layer of complexity and potential cost to the project.
B. Operational Considerations
The addition of a splash pad would impact the City’s operating budget, with ongoing expenses for water usage, repairs, cleaning, and staffing. Additional personnel or a reallocation of current staff resources would be necessary to oversee the facility’s maintenance and safe operation. If this project was to move forward, staff strongly recommends the utilization of a protective security fence, regular hours of operation and a dedicated staff person to oversee activities related to usage.
For context, the City currently spends approximately $121,000 on maintaining the City’s Aquatics program. This includes staffing costs and general maintenance and operations costs.
During the on-season, it typically takes 45 hours per week to maintain the pools, which includes cleaning, chlorinating, and testing the water and making adjustments as needed. Water samples are tested by City staff, trained as Certified Pool Operators (CPOs). The City currently has two part-time staff and one full-time staff who are CPOs. During the on-season, pools are tested up to three times a day. During the off-season, testing is only three times per week. The higher the usage/bather load of the pools, the more chemical testing is needed to ensure safe and appropriate levels to prevent issues such as algae.
C. Space and Design Limitations
LT&C Park serves multiple recreational functions, including baseball fields, picnic areas, and trails, per the Parks Master Plan originally adopted in 2009. Introducing a splash pad could require repurposing or modifying existing amenities, potentially affecting the availability of other recreational spaces.
D. Community Engagement
While there appears to be some interest in a splash pad, prior feedback from community members has also shown interest in other park amenities as a priority including:
Expansion and improvements of the playground area
Additional ball fields including softball and baseball Improving existing fields, such as fencing, dugouts, lighting, etc. Improvements to the frisbee disc golf course
Improvements to the amphitheater
Additional parking space due to overcrowding at times.
While additional amenities are needed at all City parks, it would appear appropriate to solicit additional feedback before committing additional resources to this specific project.
Alternative Options for Consideration
Given the current assessment, City staff recommends exploring alternative options to address the interest in water-play features at LT&C Park. Possible alternatives include:
Splash Pad Installation in New Park Development: As the City considers new park developments, planning for a splash pad in a new location may better meet infrastructure and space requirements.
Smaller Water-Play Features: Misting stations or interactive water fountains could serve as a lower-cost alternative to a full splash pad, providing a similar experience while minimizing infrastructure and operational costs.
Seasonal Water-Play Events: The City could consider temporary, seasonal water-play activities, such as mobile splash pads or sprinkler installations during summer months, which could provide an interim solution without requiring a permanent infrastructure investment.
Broader Needs Assessment: Conducting a community survey or broader needs assessment could help gauge interest in water-play features relative to other park amenities, allowing the City to prioritize resources based on resident feedback. Existing Aquatics Program: The City currently operates the Centennial Park Pool Complex, offering a variety of water-based activities, including open swim, swimming lessons, and rentals. This facility provides a safe, structured environment for residents to enjoy water activities during summer. This season, staff extended rental options through September, increased open-swim hours, and made efforts to accommodate the high demand for lessons.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
City staff has obtained a preliminary estimate for a turn-key splash pad project at LT&C, totaling approximately $381,834. This estimate includes the costs for key components of splash pad construction, such as:
Concrete Slab and Rain Deck Surfacing: Installation of a durable base for water play. Complete Splash Pad Installation: This includes all necessary plumbing materials, spray nozzle installation, above-ground feature installation, labor, and miscellaneous materials. Electrical Hook-up: Installation of electrical systems to power pumps, controllers, activators, and timers.
Water Supply Minimums: Ensuring the facility meets minimum water supply requirements.
Site Grading: Preparatory grading of the site to ensure proper installation and drainage.
This cost estimate reflects a turn-key project provided by Splash Zone, a well-regarded provider of splash pad construction services with over 30 years of industry experience. It is important to note that this preliminary estimate does not account for ongoing operational expenses, such as staffing, maintenance, water usage, and repairs, which would add to the long-term budgetary impact. The costs does not include any permitting, staff time required during construction, design, etc.
To provide context on potential budget impacts, Table 1 summarizes the fiscal data from the City’s current Aquatics program during the Fiscal Year 2023/2024. The Aquatics program, hosted at the City’s pool complex, generated $47,364 in revenue from open-swim admission fees, concessions, lessons, and pool rentals. However, the program’s expenses significantly outweighed this revenue, as outlined below:
Table 1: Fiscal Year 2023/2024 Aquatics Budget Actuals
Revenue Generated ($47,364.25)
Staffing Costs, Including Benefits $119,807.29
Operations and Maintenance $48,526.38
Total $120,969.42
While the net annual cost to operate the City’s aquatics program is approximately $121,000 (after factoring in revenues), it’s important to recognize that this figure excludes capital improvements.
For instance, the City was recently awarded a $215,000 grant to refurbish the two large pools, addressing essential repairs to maintain facility functionality. However, additional needs remain, such as repairs to the aging pool decks, which continue to impact both aesthetics and safety.
Beyond structural repairs, the pool complex serves the community but falls short in terms of overall ambiance and modern design. Upgrades to enhance the facility’s appearance, create a more inviting atmosphere, and improve user experience could significantly benefit residents but would require further capital investment. Improvements such as shaded seating, updated landscaping, and modern design features could increase the facility’s appeal and potentially boost attendance but would come at a substantial cost.
These considerations highlight the ongoing financial commitments required to maintain and enhance aquatic facilities. As discussions about additional water-play amenities, such as a splash pad, proceed, it will be essential to weigh both operational costs and future capital improvement needs to support sustainable, high-quality recreational options for the community.
ALTERNATIVES:
Staff welcomes any direction the Council may provide. Based on Council's feedback, potential next steps could include a request for staff to conduct further analysis or explore alternative options for water-play amenities. Should the Council decide to proceed, staff will undertake a comprehensive feasibility study. This study will examine key aspects such as detailed cost estimates, potential funding sources, regulatory considerations, and infrastructure requirements. Additionally, staff will outline a community engagement strategy to gather public input, ensuring that future developments align with community interests and priorities. This phased approach will enable the Council to make informed decisions while considering fiscal sustainability and community needs.

Code Enforcement Staffing Update
RECOMMENDATION:
This report is submitted for informational purposes only and there is no action requested from the City Council
SUMMARY:
The purpose of this report is to provide the City Council (Council) with information regarding staffing levels in the City’s Code Enforcement division.
DISCUSSION:
During the October 30, 2024, City Council meeting, the Council requested an update on staffing levels in the Code Enforcement division. Code Enforcement is housed within the Police Department. Code Enforcement ensures business and resident compliance with the City’s Municipal Code and California State Codes. Some of the issues addressed by the division include the following:
Zoning violations
Public nuisances
Abandoned/foreclosed properties
Substandard housing
Vacant buildings
Weed abatement
Encampment and river clean up
Rental housing inspection program
Taxi-cab licensing and enforcement
Tobacco retailer inspections
The division derives its caseload off proactivity, complaints, and referrals. Code Enforcement takes action to correct founded violations by issuing Notice of Violations that may result in Administrative Citations if the violation is not corrected within the provided timeline.
Administrative Citations, depending on the violation, range from $75 to $1,000 per violation per E-5
HUEY CENTRll
day. Table 1 provides an overview of Code Enforcement caseload and enforcement over the prior and current Fiscal Year.
Table 1: Code Enforcement caseload and enforcement statistics Enforcement Action FY 2023/24 FY 2024/25 (YTD)
Calls for service 6,408 1,506
Completed reports 1,890 590
Notice of Violations issued 1,403 390
Administrative Citations issued 194 70
Vehicles towed 134 34
Homeless incidents 302 49
The Code Enforcement division is comprised of 6 employees, that include the following:
1 full-time supervisor
5 full-time enforcement officers
1 part-time enforcement officer
In Fiscal Year 2023/24, the division operated with near-complete staffing, maintaining just a single vacancy throughout the year. In addition, several Police Officer trainees waiting to attend the police academy were temporarily assigned to assist Code Enforcement. The near-full complement of staff, along with the assistance from the police officer trainees, permitted the division to maintain a large caseload and effectively and efficiently close out cases.
In contrast, the current Fiscal Year has brought challenges to staffing that has created challenges in maintaining the work product expected of Code Enforcement. Although the division has maintained the same staffing level as the previous Fiscal Year, protected leave has significantly impacted the capabilities of the division. Under protected leave, positions can not be backfilled as the employee has a right to return to their position upon expiration of their leave. In addition, the Department no longer has Police Officer trainees to aid Code Enforcement. These factors have contributed to a decline in personnel available to conduct the duties of the Code Enforcement division.
The Department has been working diligently to fill the vacancy that has existed for more than a year. On March 20, 2024, the City opened recruitment for the position and received minimal applications of which none met the minimum qualification for the position. Another recruitment was opened on June 26, 2024, which again returned no candidates who met the minimum qualifications for the position. Currently, the City has an open recruitment in which testing is being conducted and will be presented to the Civil Service Commission in December.
Moving forward, the Department’s goal is to have the division fully staffed by the third quarter of this Fiscal Year. Although the results of the current recruitment process are pending, the police department remains optimistic that the candidate list will produce qualified applicants. In addition, employees under protected leave will be returning to work beginning the third quarter of the Fiscal Year.

Informational report on the Madera Metro Transit System RECOMMENDATION:
This report is submitted for informational purposes and there is no action requested from the City Council (Council)
SUMMARY:
This report provides a summary of the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2024/25, encompassing June, July, and August of the City’s transit system. Data indicates an increase in ridership over the 4th quarter of Fiscal Year 2023/24, but slightly below the passenger count for the 1st quarter of Fiscal Year 2023/24. To better service Madera Community College, adjustments were implemented in the fixed-route schedule and service was added to Madera Community Hospital. Additionally, several key initiatives aimed at enhancing transit services were initiated or advanced this quarter, underscoring ongoing efforts to improve transit.
DISCUSSION:
Madera Metro is the City’s public transportation system. The system is comprised of an 18-bus fleet, with 12 buses dedicated to Fixed Route and 6 assigned to Dial-A-Ride (DAR). As of January 6, 2024, the Fixed Route system operates four routes. The DAR system includes three ADA Paratransit vans to ensure accessible transit options for individuals with disabilities. Notably, the Fixed Route service is offered to all riders free of charge, while DAR passengers between the ages of 18-59 pay $3.
For context, the City entered into an Agreement for the Management and Operation of the Madera Transit Services with MV Public Transportation, Inc. (MVPTI) on November 7, 2018 and a subsequent Lease Agreement on September 2, 2020 grants MVPTI use of the Transit Center at Freedom Industrial Park. MVPTI manages daily operations of the Fixed Route and DAR, and ADA Paratransit systems, while City staff oversee essential vehicle maintenance, including engine repairs.
As the transportation needs of the community evolve, so does the Madera Metro transit system.
Staff continuously monitors ridership and continually assesses needs to adapt services accordingly. There are also projects in progress to support an efficient Madera Metro transit system.
Madera Metro Reporting
As part of its management responsibilities, MVPTI provides the City with monthly performance reports, key for assessing transit service effectiveness. Among key data is ridership. Table 1 provides a summary of the weekday ridership data collected between July 1 and September 30, 2024.

Madera Metro Route Changes
Green Route – Madera Community College Access
The Green Route, which serves the Madera Community College, was recently adjusted to better align with students’ schedules. It came to City staff’s attention that previous drop-off times occurred several minutes after each hour, creating challenges for students needing to arrive before classes start time, which typically begin on the hour. In collaboration with MVPTI, staff developed a new schedule that ensures drop-offs occur 10 minutes before the start of each hour, providing students with ample time to reach their classes.
Orange Route – Expanded Service for Madera Community Hospital The Orange Route, which serves the south-east side of the City, has been updated in anticipation of the reopening of Madera Community Hospital. In preparation, the original bus stop located at the hospital has been reinstated ensuring convenient transit access for future patients, visitors, and hospital staff.
Madera Metro Special Events
Madera Metro provides transit support for a variety of City-sponsored events throughout the year, assisting with transportation for event participants. On September 24, 2024, Madera Metro contributed one bus for the City’s new staff onboarding event.
Looking ahead, the “Jolley Trolley” event is scheduled for December 20, 2024. Transit staff have coordinated with MV Public Transportation, Inc. (MVPTI) to allocate six transit buses to support this popular community event.
Madera Metro Project Updates:
Several transit-related projects aimed at enhancing Madera Metro’s services are currently in progress. These initiatives focus on improving service quality, accessibility, and efficiency to better serve the Madera community. Table 5 provides a detailed status update on each project:
