REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
Council Meeting of: February 19, 2025
Agenda Number: A-1
SUBJECT:
Adoption of New Purchasing Procedures Ordinance and Amendment of Administrative Policy 18, Purchasing Policy of the City of Madera
RECOMMENDATION:
Waive the Full Reading and by Title Only Introduce an Ordinance of the City of Madera Repealing and Replacing Chapter 4 of Title II of the Madera Municipal Code Relating to Purchasing Procedures and Including Raising Purchasing Thresholds, and adopt a Resolution amending Administrative Policy 18, Purchasing Policy of the City of Madera Contingent upon Subsequent Adoption of the Accompanying Ordinance.
SUMMARY:
The City's procurement practices are governed by both the Purchasing Policy and Title II, Chapter 4 of the Madera Municipal Code (MMC). Additionally, the City Council approved adopting the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (CUPCCAA) bidding standards for public works projects in December 2022. On January 1, 2025, Assembly Bill 2192 (AB 2192) went into effect, which increased the bidding threshold levels for CUPCCAA-governed bids. In response to these changes, staff is recommending that the bidding thresholds listed in the Purchasing Policy and the MMC are changed to match those in CUPCCAA.
DISCUSSION:
The City’s procurement practices are governed by Ordinance No. 996 C.S. as codified in Title II, Chapter 4 of the MMC. This chapter of the MMC establishes various dollar thresholds that dictate the procurement processes for the City. These thresholds determine when formal bidding is required, when informal quotes are sufficient, and when staff can make purchases without competitive bids. The MMC’s procurement requirements are supplemented by the City’s Purchasing Policy, which goes into more depth than the MMC on procurement regulations. The Purchasing chapter of the MMC and the Purchasing Policy were approved by Council on December 21, 2022, and August 21, 2024, respectively.
As part of the adoption of Ordinance 996 C.S., the City also adopted CUPCCAA standards for public works projects. CUPCCAA standards were generally higher than those for other City purchases. Given the large dollar amounts typical for public works projects, utilizing CUPCCAA standards reduced the purchasing efforts for staff in bidding out certain capital projects.
Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law AB 2192 on September 29, 2024. This new law made several changes to CUPCCAA requirements. In short, the new law raised the bidding thresholds and broadened the definition of a “public project” to include installations involving any publicly owned, leased, or operated facility. Additionally, AB 2192 enhanced the powers of the California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Commission (Commission) by requiring the Commission to review the accounting procedures of any participating public agency where an interested party presents evidence that the work undertaken by the public agency has been split or separated into smaller work orders or projects, as specified, and would make conforming changes, as well as review noncompliance with bidding procedures for the publication or posting and electronic transmission of notice inviting formal bids. These changes went into effect on January 1, 2025.
In order to maintain consistency with the CUPCCAA requirements as amended by AB 2192, staff is recommending that both the MMC and the Purchasing Policy be updated. The following is a summary of the proposed revisions:
Purchasing Amount Authority and Signature
The proposed amendment would increase the City Manager’s purchasing authority for contracts for the purchase of goods and services from less than $60,000 to less than $75,000 per project per fiscal year unless the Council expressly reserves approval on a particular purchase/contract or the City Manager requests Council approval. This increase will continue to apply to contracts not measured monetarily, but which are reasonably estimated to be within the purchasing authority of the City Manager, such as the waiver of indemnification and insurance. Contracts for $75,000 or more would continue to be submitted to the Council for consideration.
Basic Procedures
The proposed amendment includes increased thresholds and procedures for purchasing nonpublic works project materials, supplies, equipment, and services to ensure the City pays fair prices and receives commensurate value. In short:
Leaves to department discretion for purchases less than $6,000 Requires price quotes and issuance of a purchase order for purchases between $6,000 and less than $15,000
Requires written specifications and price quotes from a minimum of 3 vendors (if available) as well as the issuance of a purchase order for purchases between $15,000 and less than $75,000
Requires more rigorous bidding procedures and the issuance of a purchase order for contracts of $75,000 or higher, such as a request for proposal (RFP), invitation for bids (IFB), or request for qualifications (RFQ).
A comparison of current limits and proposed limits is provided in Table 1.
Table 1: Summary of Proposed Changes to Purchasing Limits and Procedures Current Limit Proposed Limit Proposed Purchasing Requirement Less than $6,000 Less than $6,000 No Purchase Order required $6,000 – $15,000 $6,000 – $15,000 Purchase Order required with 3 informal quotes; lowest quote in writing from the vendor
$15,000 - $60,000 $15,000.01 - $75,000 Purchase required with written specifications and at least 3 quotes in writing
$60,000 or more $75,000.01 or more
Written price quotes from 3 vendors through the bidding process or RFP/RFQ. Requires City Council action.
California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act Revisions Under existing law, CUPCCAA provides for the development of cost accounting standards and an alternative method for the bidding of public works projects by public entities. It defines “public project” to include, among other things, construction, reconstruction, erection, alteration, renovation, improvement, demolition, and repair work involving any publicly owned, leased, or operated facility.
AB 2192 modified the definition of “public project” to additionally include installations involving any publicly owned, leased, or operated facility.
AB 2192 increases the various bid thresholds that were codified in the existing CUPCCAA statue.
Specifically, AB 2192 authorized public projects of $75,000 or less to be performed by the employees of a public agency by force account, by negotiated contract, or by purchase order, authorizes public projects of $220,000 or less to be let to contract by informal procedures, and requires public projects of more than $220,000 to be let to contract by formal bidding procedures. The new law also permits the governing body of a public agency, in the event all bids received for the performance of that public project are in excess of $220,000, to award the contract at $235,000 or less to the lowest responsible bidder if it determines the cost estimate of the public agency was reasonable. A comparison of the CUPCCAA’s initial bid thresholds and revised bid thresholds is provided in Table 2.
Table 2: Summary of Proposed Changes to CUPCCAA Purchasing Limits and Procedures Initial Limit Proposed Limit Proposed Purchase Procedure Less than $60,000 Less than $75,000 Performed by the employees of a public agency by force account, by negotiated contract, or by purchase order
$60,000 – $200,000 $75,000 – $220,000 Informal bidding procedures Over $200,000 Over $220,000 Formal bidding procedures
Revisions to CUPCCAA also included broader definition of a public work under CUPCCAA as well as increased thresholds and bidding procedures.
A “public project” was initially defined as:
1. A project for the erection, improvement, painting, or repair of public buildings and works
2. Work in or aboutstreams, bays, waterfronts, embankments, or other work for protection against overflow
3. Street or sewer work except for maintenance or repair, or
4. Furnishing supplies or materials for any such project, including maintenance or repair of streets or sewers (PCC Section 20161)
The definition of a “public project” has been amended to include, “Installations involving any publicly owned, leased, or operated facility.”
Purchasing Policy Revisions
The proposed amendments to the Purchasing Policy mirror the changes to the Ordinance and only impact the purchasing thresholds. Proposed changes to the Purchasing Policy are bolded and italicized in Attachment 2.
The changes proposed to the Purchasing Policy will not go into effect until the Ordinance changes which are also proposed as part of this action receive final approval by Council at a future Council meeting.
The proposed changes will result in reduced administrative costs for smaller purchases as fewer formal bidding procedures will be required. However, the City will continue to ensure competitive pricing and responsible spending through informal and formal procurement processes when appropriate.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is minor financial benefit anticipated from these proposed changes coming from a reduction in the time needed to conduct and manage a procurement.
ALTERNATIVES:
Council could direct staff to modify the ordinance further or to forego modifications. Council could also reject the resolution to amend the Purchasing Policy and the MMC, thus continuing with the current policy. Doing so would cause a discrepancy between the CUPCCAA-governed bid limits and those in the MMC and the Purchasing Policy.

(B) If the purchase exceeds the City Manager’s monetary authority to contract, a resolution making the findings set forth above must be submitted with the staff’s request for award of a sole source contract by the council.
2-4.09 PREVAILING WAGES AND PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS.
(A) This section applies to prevailing wages under local and state law. The requirements for prevailing wages under the federal Davis-Bacon Act are separate and should be reviewed separately as required by applicable federal funding sources. Under California Labor Code Section 1771, all work performed under contract for “public works” projects of more than $1,000 shall be subject to prevailing wages. The Labor Code defines the term “public works project” broader than the Public Contract Code defines “public project” as per Section 2-4.06 above. There may be instances in which bidding is not required but payment of prevailing wages is required.
(B) “Public Works Project” for the purpose of state prevailing wages means:
(1) Construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair work done under contract and paid for in whole or in part from city funds. For purposes of this paragraph, “construction” includes work performed during the design and preconstruction phases of construction, including, but not limited to, inspection and land surveying work. For purposes of this paragraph, “installation” includes, but is not limited to, the assembly and disassembly of freestanding and affixed modular office systems;
(2) The laying of carpet done under a building lease-maintenance contract and paid for out of public funds;
(3) Street, sewer, or other improvement work done under the direction and supervision of the city;
(4) Hauling refuse from a public works site to an outside disposal location; or (5) Maintenance work, including routine, recurring, and usual work for the preservation of a city-owned or operated facility, and landscape maintenance work per Labor Code Section 1771.
(C) Prevailing wage requirements do not apply to work performed by the city with its own forces.
(D) The City Manager is authorized to establish guidelinesfor implementing prevailing wages requirements that are consistent with this section and with the Labor Code. (E) The City Manager shall designate a person to comply with the contractor registration requirements on all contracts requiring prevailing wages. 2-4.10 REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS AND REQUESTS FOR QUALIFICATIONS Procurements under a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Qualifications (RFQ) are appropriate for services that are not subject to legal public bidding requirements. Such procurements may include consulting services, professional services, and maintenance services as described in this section.
(A) RFP or RFQ. If there are no statutory or funding condition requirements that specify use of an RFP or RFQ, selection is based on the nature of the procurement. For example, an RFP is generally the preferred option for project-based procurement where the specific scope of services is known in advance and one of the primary criteria will be the best lump sum price for providing services (although experience and qualifications may also be considered). An RFQ is often preferable for ongoing or on-call professional or consulting services where there is not a single, defined project and the qualifications and experience of the consultant are the primary criteria (although hourly rates may also be considered). (B) RFP/RFQ Required.
(1) Architectural and Engineering Services. Per Government Code Section 4529.12 all architectural and engineering servicesshall be procured pursuant to a fair, competitive selection process. Therefore, an RFP/RFQ process must be followed. The term “architectural and engineering services” includes all architectural, landscape architectural, environmental, engineering, land surveying, and construction project management services. (See Government Code Section 4529.10)
(2) Design-Build. An RFQ and RFP must be used if the city adopts an ordinance for design-build procurement under Public Contract Code Section 22160 et. seq. (3) Funding Source Requirement. The city shall comply with County, State, or Federal funding source requirements for use of an RFP/RFQ.
(4) Master Service Agreements. Master Service Agreements may be entered into with specific vendors for support services on an “as needed” basis pursuant to an RFP process. (C) RFP/RFQ Not Required.
(1) Professional/Consultant Services. The city may contract with any specially trained and experienced persons, firms or corporations for special services and advice in financial, economic, accounting, legal or administrative services. Selection shall be on the basis of demonstrated competence, on the professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required, and at a fair and reasonable price to the city. To obtain the best competitive value forservices, the city may employ an RFP or RFQ process dependent on nature of the services, complexity, estimated cost, and immediate needs as determined by the City Manager.
(2) Routine Supplies/Equipment. Procurement of routine supplies or equipment where best price is the only objective, there is no need to use an RFP/RFQ. A clear and specific request for price quotes or informal bidding requirements per Section 2-4.05 of this Code is often the most efficient procurement method for obtaining the best price for goods exceptthat factors otherthan low price may be considered. However, the city may choose to use an RFP/RFQ process.
2-4.11 CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
No person shall recommend, participate in any contract evaluation, selection, purchase, or lease which would constitute a conflict of interest defined in the city Conflict of Interest Code or applicable state law.
SECTION 3. CEQA. The City Council finds this ordinance is not a project under the California EnvironmentalQuality Act because it can be seen with certainty thatit will not have a significant effect or physical change to the environment. See Title 14, California Code of Regulations, Section 15061 (b) (3).
SECTION 4. Severance. If any section,subsection, phrase, or clause ofthis ordinance isfor any reason held to be unconstitutional or invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance.
SECTION 5. Publication. Upon passage, this ordinance, or a summary of the same shall be published as required by law.
SECTION 6. Effective Date. This ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days after its adoption.

MISSION STATEMENT
The Purchasing Division is committed to obtaining the most desirable goods and services to meet the City's operational needs, at the lowest possible cost, delivered in a timely manner, and in compliance with all City policies and applicable laws, including Madera Municipal Code Chapter 4 Title II.
The Purchasing Division is responsible for all aspects of the City's centralized procurement process. Its objective is to acquire needed goods and services as efficiently and as inexpensively as possible, while assuring fair and equal opportunity to all qualified vendors. To achieve this objective, Purchasing seeks to foster as much competition as possible. In doing so, we adopt the goal of fairness by ensuring all who wish to compete for the opportunity to sell to the City of Madera can do so.
The Purchasing Division’s primary function is to assist other City Departments in their procurement efforts, securing materials and services which meet necessary standards. Concurrently, the Purchasing Division monitors all procurement to ascertain compliance with applicable laws.
Purchasing Division personnel prepare the City's procurement program; establish standards for quality assurance; purchase products and services; and administer contracts. Staff prepare specifications and schedule purchases; develop advantageous contractual terms; solicit and evaluate bids; award and administer contracts; place legal advertisements; prepare contract documents; maintain procurement records for all City departments; and formulate policy for the disposition of excess and/or obsolete material. Additionally, the department performs specialized specification writing functions for acquisition of all automotive vehicles, heavy equipment and related service contracts.
Functioning as a major business office of the City with the vendor community, the Purchasing Division strives to promote goodwill through sound business practices, efficient operations and supporting the purchase of recycled and environmentally preferred products while providing the greatest value for the tax dollar.
Our policy is intended to:
Give all suppliers full, fair, prompt and courteous consideration Keep competition open and fair
Solicit supplier suggestions in the determination of clear and adequate specifications and standards.
Cooperate with suppliers and consider possible difficulties they may encounter Observe strict truthfulness and the highest ethics in all transactions and correspondence Support the purchase of recycled and environmentally preferred products Provide timely, efficient and cost-effective services to City staff.

CODE OF ETHICAL CONDUCT
The primary mission of City Government is to serve the citizens of the City of Madera. To perform its mission effectively, the City must have the trust and confidence of the public it serves. That trust is dependent upon City employees discharging their duties honestly, forthrightly, objectively and with personal integrity.
To secure and maintain the trust and confidence of the public, the City of Madera is committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct. Of key importance in determining whether a particular action is proper or improper, is how the action is perceived. The full measure of ethical review is not limited to the narrow confines of a specific job, task or department. The review must also determine whether the action gives the appearance of wrongdoing, inequity, impropriety or the perception of misconduct when viewed by the public.
The City of Madera subscribes to the following Principles and Standards of Purchasing Practice:
PUBLIC PURCHASING PRINCIPLES AND STANDARDS
Avoid the intent and appearance of unethical or compromising practice in relationships, actions and communications.
Demonstrate loyalty to the employer by diligently following the lawful instructions of the employer, using reasonable care and only authority granted. Refrain from any private business or professional activity that would create a conflict between personal interests and the interests of the employer. Refrain from soliciting or accepting money, loans, credits or prejudicial discounts and the acceptance of gifts, entertainment, favors or services from present or potential suppliers that might influence or appear to influence purchasing decisions.
Handle confidential or proprietary information belonging to employers or suppliers with due care and proper consideration of ethical and legal ramifications and governmental regulations. Promote positive supplier relationships through courtesy and impartiality in all phases of the purchasing cycle.
Refrain from reciprocal agreements that restrain competition. Know and obey the letter and spirit of laws governing the purchasing function and remain alert to the legal ramifications of purchasing decisions.
Encourage all segments of society to participate by demonstrating support for small, disadvantaged and minority-owned businesses.
Enhance the proficiency and stature of the purchasing profession by acquiring and maintaining current technical knowledge and the highest standards of ethical behavior. Conduct international purchasing in accordance with the laws, customs and practices of foreign countries, consistent with United States laws, our organization policies and these guidelines. To regard public service as a sacred trust, giving primary consideration to the interests of the governmental unit by whom we are employed.
To purchase the best value obtainable, securing the maximum benefit for each tax dollar expended.
To avoid sharp practices, giving all qualified vendors an equal opportunity. To respect our obligations and to require that obligations to us and our governmental unit be respected.
To accord vendor representatives the same treatment we should like to receive, remembering that they are important sources of information and assistance in our buying process. To strive constantly for greater knowledge of purchasing methods and of the materials we buy. To be receptive to counsel from our colleagues and to cooperate with them to promote a spirit of unity.
To conduct ourselves with fairness and dignity and to demand honesty and truth in buying and selling.
To cooperate with all organizations and individuals engaged in enhancing the development and standing of the purchasing profession.
To remember that everything we do reflects on the entire purchasing profession and to govern our every action accordingly.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST REGULATIONS
Conflicts of interest occur when a conflict exists between the public interest and the private monetary interest of a public official or employee. Conflicts of interest can also occur with regards to individuals who have left government employment, when former public officials are able to exert undue influence over the purchasing process because of their past personal connections inside government.
No member of the Council or of any board and no officer or employee of the City shall be or become interested in any contract for which bids are or may be required for the furnishing of labor or materials to or for the City, nor shall any of them receive any gratuity or advantage from any contract or from the contractor furnishing any labor or material under any contract, the cost or consideration of which is payable from the City treasury. Any such contract with the City in which any such officer or employee is or becomes interested shall be declared void by the Council.
Generally speaking, an employee or official should not participate directly or indirectly when the following conditions apply:
The employee, official or any member of the employee’s or official’s immediate family has a direct or indirect interest in the purchase.
A business or organization, in which the employee, official or any member of the employee’s or official’s immediate family has a direct or indirect interest, is involved in the purchase. Any other person, business or organization, with which the employee, official or any member of the employee’s or official’s immediate family is negotiating or has an arrangement concerning prospective employment, is involved in the purchase.
No officer or employee of the City shall aid or assist a bidder in securing a contract to furnish labor or materials or supplies at a higher price or rate than that proposed by any other responsible bidder, or shall favor one bidder over another, giving or withholding information, or shall willfully mislead any bidder in regard to the character of the materials or supplies of a quality inferior to that called for by contract, or shall knowingly certify to a greater amount of labor performed than has actually been performed or to the receipt of a greater amount of material or supplies than has actually been received.
PROHIBITION OF GIFTS, GRATUITIES AND KICKBACKS
Council members and other officials or employees are prohibited from accepting any gratuity or advantage from any contract or contractor. This section is designed to prohibit actions that may tend to unduly and improperly influence officers and employees in the discharge of their duties, or grant, in the discharge of their duties, any improper favor, service or thing of value.
The City of Madera regards the practice of accepting gifts or gratuities as unnecessary, undesirable and contrary to the mission of the City. The City recognizes the responsibility of its employees to maintain good relations with all members of the community and believes this can be accomplished in a professional manner without gifts or gratuities interfering with and/or influencing employees. The City prohibits an employee from accepting personal gifts or gratuities in his/her capacity as a City employee from business or individuals who either do business with or are served by the City. As opposed to gratuities, which up to a financial point are not illegal, kickbacks are always illegal. Kickbacks are "financial payment for receiving a contract.”
It shall be illegal for any payment, gratuity, or offer of employment to be made by or on behalf of a subcontractor under a contract to the prime contractor or higher tier subcontractor or any person associated therewith, as an inducement for the award of a subcontract or order.
UNETHICAL USE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
City employees are frequently made privy to confidential information in the course of their duties, and the prohibition against the misuse of confidential information is just as fundamental to ethical purchasing as it is to any other sphere of government. It shall be unethical for any employee, or former employee, knowingly to use confidential information for actual or anticipated personal gain, or for the actual or anticipated personal gain of any other person.
RECOVERY OF VALUE TRANSFERRED OR RECEIVED IN BREACH OF ETHICAL STANDARDS General Provisions
The value of anything transferred or received in breach of ethical standards by a City of Madera employee or a vendor may be recovered from both employee and vendor.
Recovery of Kickbacks by the City
Upon showing that a subcontractor made a kickback to a prime contractor or a higher tier subcontractor in connection with the award of a subcontract or order there under, it shall be conclusively presumed that the amount thereof was included in the price of the subcontract or order and ultimately borne by the City and will be recoverable hereunder from the recipient. In addition, that amount may also be recovered from the subcontractor making such kickbacks. Recovery from one offending party shall not preclude recovery from other and all offending parties.
SANCTIONS FOR ETHICAL VIOLATIONS
Any employee who violates ethical standards may be disciplined in accordance with the City of Madera Personnel Rules and Regulations, and/or applicable Memorandum of Understanding up to and including termination of the employee.
EMERGENCY ORDERS
In the case of an emergency regarding a non-public project, the Purchasing Agent may determine to proceed with the immediate purchase of goods, supplies, equipment, materials, or services. The term “emergency” means a sudden, unexpected occurrence that poses a clear and imminent danger requiring immediate action to prevent or mitigate the loss or impairment of life, health, property, or essential services. Such immediate purchase of goods, supplies, equipment, materials, or services still requires the standard terms and conditions for written purchase orders or written contracts.
In case of an emergency regarding a public project which requires formal bidding procedures, the City Council may pass a resolution by a four-fifths vote declaring that the public interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure of public money to safeguard life, health, or property. The resolution shall specify findings as required in Public Contracts Code Section 22050.
If the dollar amount is within the City Manager’s authority (less than $60,000 $75,000); the responsible department shall promptly file with the City Manager a signed declaration showing that emergency conditions existed and created the necessity for such action, together with an itemized account of all expenditures.
If the dollar amount is above the City Manager’s authority ($60,000 $75,000 or more); the responsible department shall at the next regular meeting of the Council seek ratification of the purchase by resolution which includes the emergency conditions which existed and the immediate need to take action together with an itemized account of all expenditures.
CAPITAL ACQUISITIONS/FIXEDASSETS
Capital expenditures which departments deem necessary and/or exceed five thousand ($5,000) should be capitalized and added to the fixed assets list for internal control. All expenditures for capital assets shall be capitalized to more accurately reflect the financial position of the City on an accrual basis. Therefore, all purchases of such items must be included in the capital outlay portion of departmental budgets.
Purchase Orders received by the Purchasing Division for capital outlay items that reference other than capital account numbers will be referred back to the ordering department for authorization of fund transfer.
ENVIRONMENTALLY PREFERRED PURCHASING
It is the policy of the City to support the purchase of recycled and environmentally preferred products in order to minimize environmental impacts relating to our work and to implement directives regarding waste prevention, reuse, recycling collection, procurement, employee education and outreach and coordination of such programs.
CREDIT CARD PURCHASES
The City uses a variety of methods for the purchase of goods and services and recognizes that in certain circumstances the issuance of a City credit card will allow for efficient, cost effective and secure purchasing within the guidelines of the program.
For specific details on processes, acceptable use, necessary forms and all other details of the program see the City’s Procurement Card Policy.
LOCAL VENDOR PREFERENCE
It is the City's policy to encourage the purchase of supplies, services and equipment from vendors located within the boundaries of the City. Local vendors are sellers, vendors, suppliers and contractors who maintain places of business located within the limits of the City and who have a current City of Madera business license. We will encourage this by developing local vendor outreach and education programs.
We will seek to involve local vendors to the maximum extent possible, complying with appropriate codes, laws and prudent purchasing practices. The local vendor preference shall not apply to those contracts where State or Federal law, or other laws or regulations precludes such a preference.
Bid documents on public projects will include verbiage mandating that bidders will be required to circulate the opportunity to subcontract for components of the project to local businesses and demonstrate that they have made a reasonable effort to inform local businesses of the opportunity.
COOPERATIVE PURCHASING
The City, through the Purchasing Agent, may purchase supplies, equipment, or services through a joint powers or other cooperative purchasing program with any local, county, state, or federal public entity or entities, or any association of public agencies, including the California League of Cities, the California State Association of Counties, and the National Conference of Mayors, provided that:
1) The selected bidder was selected in compliance with the competitive bidding or proposal process requirements of any participating entity or association; and 2) The Purchasing Agent determines that the competitive bidding or proposal process utilized is similar to that contained in this Chapter; and
3) The Purchasing Agent determines that, as a result of cooperative purchasing, the price of the supplies, equipment, or services is likely to be lower than it would be if purchased directly by the City pursuant to this Chapter.
Purchases less than $60,000 $75,000 require approval of the Procurement Services Manager, City Attorney, and City Manager. Purchases $60,000 $75,000 or more require City Council approval. “PIGGYBACK” PURCHASING
The Procurement Services Manager Purchasing Agent is authorized to join with other public and private entities for the purpose of collectively preparing specifications; requesting and receiving bids, quotations, or proposals; and making award to the lowest responsive responsible bidder, provided that the source selection method used is substantially in compliance with the City’s laws, policies, and procedures.
The City may use State of California Cooperative Purchasing Contracts if the item on the state contract meets the City's needs and if it is unlikely that a separate City bid would result in more favorable prices, terms and/or conditions. Contracted buying groups are considered to take the place of competition if, in the opinion of the Procurement Services Manager Purchasing Agent, it is in the best interest of the City.
Notwithstanding all other provisions of this article, in the purchase of necessary goods and/or services the City may, in lieu of other City competitive bidding procedures, accept a competitive bid which has been secured by or on behalf of any federal, state, county or municipal government or from any other governmental entity, state funded institution and not-for- profit organization, subject to a determination by the Procurement Services Manager Purchasing Agent that the contract was entered into pursuant to a competitive process in compliance with City laws, policies, and procedures.
Purchasing is authorized to “piggyback” contracts for products and equipment entered into by other governmental agencies through a competitive bid providing the contract contains an assignability clause that provides for the assignment of all, or a portion of the specified deliverables as originally advertised, competed, evaluated, and awarded. Purchasing will obtain documentation to verify the contract and bid process. All products or equipment purchased under this provision must substantially meet the technical specifications of the bid. Major deviations from the product specification will not be allowed. However, minor modifications which result in a price differential of 5 percent or less are authorized.
Purchases less than $60,000 $75,000 require approval of the Procurement Services Manager Purchasing Agent, City Attorney, and City Manager. Purchases $60,000 $75,000 or more require City Council approval.

B-15 Councilmember Appointments made by the Mayor to Collaborative Agencies Recommendation: Approve a Minute Order Approving the Mayor’s Appointments to Collaborative Boards, Commissions, and Committees (Report by Alicia Gonzales)
Mayor Pro Tem Rodriguez mentioned that in the past this item has been in the Administrative Reports section, so that it could be discussed with all of Council and he would like that to continue.
Mayor Pro Tem Rodriguez stated he noticed that he has been removed from one of the appointments and he asked that he be allowed to continue serving as the primary on the MCTC.
Mayor Gallegos stated that these are Mayor appointments where the Mayor appoints Councilmembers to different agency boards. She looked at Councilmember schedules, etc. and then made appointments that she felt would best represent the City. Councilmembers will be able to learn, experience, lead and do what is best for the City. She herself has in the past been on a board and then removed for another Councilmember to gain experience. Every Councilmember she appointed has accepted the appointments and they are going to move forward and do the best they can do to represent the City.
Mayor Pro Tem Rodriguez reiterated that he would like to remain on the MCTC.
Councilmember Montes stated that these are the Mayor’s appointments and that for the health of the Council there needs to be a succession plan and a movement of ideas. He stated that there is nothing that would impede Mayor Pro Tem Rodriguez from advocating for the community even if a colleague is appointed to the MCTC instead.
Councilmember Zacharia stated that he appreciates the appointment, but he would be more comfortable in a position where somebody who has that knowledge is able to sit at the table and make those final decisions but allow him to sit with them and learn that knowledge.
Councilwoman Evans indicated that she would be willing to step back, so that Councilmember Zacharia can learn from Mayor Pro Tem Rodriguez.
Mayor Gallegos stated that even though she was voted as the new MCTC Chairperson, she will step down from MCTC and allow Mayor Pro Tem Rodriguez to continue on MCTC along with Councilmember Zacharia.

Councilmember Mejia asked and Mayor Gallegos clarified that the alternate is Councilmember Evans. Councilmember Mejia acknowledged the time that Mayor Gallegos spent talking with each of the Councilmembers about these appointments.
Councilmember Mejia stated that she has been part of a childcare campaign for over five (5) years and asked if there would be a conflict to be appointed as an alternate to the Madera County Local Childcare and Development Planning Council. City Attorney Shannon L. Chaffin stated that based on what he has seen so far, she should be ok.
City Attorney Shannon L. Chaffin stated that for the benefit of the public there is a sentence in the staff report that states that per the City Attorney it’s necessary for the City Council to approve the Mayor’s appointments. He stated that a more accurate sentence would be, “any appointments by the Mayor must be approved by the Council in its discretion in order for the appointment to be effective unless otherwise required by law or agreement”.
Cynthia Wilson, a resident of Madera, is in agreement with Mayor Pro Tem Rodriguez staying in the MCTC seat and having someone there with experience.
A member of the public, who stated he is a Civil Engineer/Transportation Engineer with 26 years in the transportation field was surprised to hear that Mayor Pro Tem Rodriguez was being removed from the MCTC. He has worked with Mayor Pro Tem Rodriguez in the MCTC and believes that Mayor Pro Tem Rodriguez’s experience is an asset.
Ms. Torres stated there was a time when the Council decided the appointments as a whole and she would like to see that happen again.
Mayor Gallegos addressed the audience and clarified that all Councilmembers have the opportunity to appoint residents to [City agency] commissions but these are appointments where the Mayor appoints Councilmembers to boards throughout the community [outside agencies] and it has always been that way.

C. WORKSHOP:
C-1 Ensuring the City of Madera as a Refuge and Welcoming City for All Recommendation: This report is submitted for informational purposes. Staff will receive comments and direction as may be offered from the City Council (Council) (Report by Arnoldo Rodriguez)
This item was heard earlier in the meeting immediately following public comment.
Santos Garcia spoke on this topic. He stated that ICE has the right to do their job, but the community has to know that they can report crimes to the police without fear. He would like a resolution which shows the commitment to the community.
A member of the public thanked Police Chief Chiaramonte for taking the stand that they are here to protect the community and that resources are not there to collaborate with any federal agency. She mentioned that other funding sources be considered which would not impact the residents negatively. She asked that the City continue to take the position that the police are here to protect and serve the community regardless of citizenship status and will not collaborate with ICE.
Evelyn Gasum, a resident of Madera, suggested that information also be posted in public spaces such as the swap meet or broadcast somehow. She stated that many people are scared, and everyone needs to recognize that these are the people that are working in the fields in extreme heat or cold to feed us.
Socorro Santillan, a constituent of District 1, is an immigrant of this country. She hopes the Council will stand with those that need their leadership and make the right decision to protect the community.
A member of the public stated he is a citizen of the United States but also an immigrant and most of his siblings are immigrants also. He wants Council to pass a resolution that lets the community know that immigrants are valuable and that they are needed for the City, State and the country. The resolution should also indicate that the City is not giving information to ICE.
This will alleviate the community’s fear.
Sulema Yanez, a member of the public, stated that if the Council chooses to save their grants and their pockets instead of their community then there is a risk that about 80% of the population in Madera might get deported and the City will not need all those grants, they are trying to save.
Baldwin Moy stated that a resolution should indicated the City is a Sanctuary City not just a Welcoming City as being a welcoming city is just lip service. This needs to be dealt with in a forthright manner.
Public Comment was closed.
City Manager Arnoldo Rodriguez asked, and City Attorney Shannon L. Chaffin responded that even if the City of Madera declared itself a Sanctuary City, ICE could still come into every single inch of the City whether or not the City declared itself as off limits. In the 1860s, the Civil War established that the federal government had priority and precedent in law over State’s rights and therefore local rights because the City falls under the umbrella of the State. From a purely legal perspective, there is no legal basis for the City to be able to keep ICE outside the community as it is within the United States’ federal enforcement area.

Proclamation Recognizing Scout Troop 117 for their 100 years of service to the youth of Madera RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Minute Order approving a Proclamation Recognizing Scout Troop 117 for their 100 years of service to the youth of Madera
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 January 15, 2025, the Council approved the 2025 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 case, Mr. Tom Kidwell, representing Boy Scout Troop 117, submitted a request on February 12, 2025, for a proclamation recognizing the troop’s 100 years of service to the youth of Madera.
Troop 117 was originally established in 1925 as Troop 8 of the Madera District. In 1927, the Sequoia Council reorganized the scout troops in Madera, assigning Troop 117 its current number.
Over the past century, the Scouts have provided over 500 hours of community service annually.
Their contributions include assisting with Memorial Day and Veterans Day ceremonies and engaging in various service projects that have positively impacted the community.
B-5
To commemorate this milestone, a 100th-anniversary celebration will be held on Saturday, March 15, 2025, at the VFW Hall. The event is open to the public.
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 February 19th 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.

To whom it may concern
Scout Troop 117 is proud to announce reaching 100 years of service to the youth of Madera.
Troop 117 was organized in 1925 as Troop 8 of the Madera District. American Legion Post 11 was the sponsor and Everett B. Peck was Scoutmaster. In 1927 the Sequoia Council reorganized the Scout Troops of .. Madera and changed the number to Troop 117. They met in the basement of the First National Bank at the comer of Yosemite and D Streets. Shortly thereafter the meeting place was moved to the basement of the Veterans Memorial Hall which was also the meeting place of the American Legion.
Troop 117 is currently sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1981 with James Dunn as the Scoutmaster.
Each year our Scouts and families perform over 500 community service hours. Our Scouts have performed service for our veterans by assisting with the ceremonies on Memorial Day and Veterans Day at the Madera Courthouse Park. For Memorial Day our Scouts place flags at each veteran's headstone at Arbor Vitae Cemetery. When we go to camp our Scouts do service projects for the agency that provide the campsite.
They have also assisted with greeting veterans returning home on the Honor Flights at the Fresno Air Terminal.
Over the last 100 years we have had 29 Scoutmasters and over 680 youth participating as Scouts and have earned the rank of Eagle Scout, and some Scouts became Scoutmasters for the Troop. Many of our Scouts have become outstanding community leaders . . To commemorate this event, a dinner oftri-tip and chicken with pilaf, Italian green beans, salad and rolls will be at the VFW Hall, 2026 N. Granada Dr, Madera CA. 93637 on Saturday March 15, 2025 at $20.00 per plate.
Tickets are available at the VFW Hall 559-661-9038 during business hours 9:00 AM to noon Monday through Friday. You may also contact Tom Kidwell at 559-661-1161, or Tim Escobedo at 559-232-075 for tickets.

Madera County 5150 Response Protocol
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution approving a multi-agency Memorandum of Understanding that defines the City’s roles and responsibilities in relation to Madera County’s 5150 Response Protocol and authorizing the Chief of Police to execute the agreement SUMMARY:
In 2011, the City entered a multi-agency Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish a coordinated response and shared framework among Madera County stakeholders regarding the roles, responsibilities, and systems governing the care of individuals subject to 5150 holds.
Although the MOU has remained largely unchanged since minor revisions in 2019, the reopening of Madera Community Hospital requires its reaffirmation by all participating stakeholders. The proposed action would approve the MOU and authorize the Chief of Police to execute the agreement.
DISCUSSION:
Section 5150 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code authorizes the involuntary detention of an adult experiencing a mental health crisis for a 72-hour psychiatric evaluation if they are deemed a danger to themselves, others, or gravely disabled. Law enforcement officers are typically the first to encounter individuals meeting the criteria for a 5150 hold and are therefore empowered to place them under protective care for a comprehensive mental health assessment.
The MOU establishes the roles and responsibilities of law enforcement agencies in managing 5150 holds, including:
Completing the required documentation for a 5150 hold Council Meeting of: February 19, 2025
Agenda Number: B-8
Assessing an individual’s need for medical attention and providing services as necessary Engaging additional resources, such as Madera County’s Behavioral Health Services Crisis Mobile Team, when appropriate
Coordinating care arrangements for dependents of the individual placed on a 5150 hold Transporting individuals to designated medical facilities Responding to service calls related to the elopement of 5150 patients from Madera Community Hospital
The MOU has been in effect since its adoption in 2011, with minor revisions implemented in 2019. However, with the reopening of Madera Community Hospital, all participating stakeholders must reaffirm their commitment to the agreement to ensure continued coordination and compliance with established protocols. It is important to note that the provisions outlining the City’s roles and responsibilities remain unchanged from the updated MOU affirmed in 2019.
Furthermore, the City’s roles and responsibilities, as defined in the MOU, are consistent with applicable MPD policies. The requested action authorizes the Chief of Police to execute the agreement on behalf of the City.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The MOU does not impose any financial obligations on the City. The handling of 5150 holds is a standard responsibility of law enforcement and falls within the scope of routine police duties, rather than an additional or extraordinary service.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council (Council) has the authority to deny the City’s participation in the Madera County 5150 Response Protocol. However, such a decision may adversely affect the City's service delivery and its collaborative relationships with partnering agencies, as 5150 holds will remain a standard law enforcement responsibility. Alternatively, the Council may direct staff to provide additional information for further consideration.

MADERA COUNTY 5150 RESPONSE PROTOCOL
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this protocol is to provide for a coordinated response and shared understandings by all Madera County stakeholders of the roles, accountabilities and systems guiding the care of 5150 patients. The ability to provide consistent care to those Madera County residents most in need is a value shared by all. While we recognize that resources will continue to be in ‘short supply,’ there is no shortage of possibilities when all community stakeholders come to the table with a single purpose…to ensure the best care possible for our 5150 patients.
This document is intended to provide that community framework for care.
DEFINITIONS
a. Lanterman-Petris-Short Act (1972): This act, written in 1967 and signed into law in 1972, was intended to provide a system of care in each community for persons with severe and/or acute mental health issues. This Act spells out the parameters for providing both voluntary and involuntary mental health treatments. b. Welfare & Institutions Code 5150: This section of the W & I code states that a person who, as a result of a mental disorder, is a danger to self, a danger to others, or gravely disabled may be held up to 72 hours for observation in a 5150-designated facility. Related sections include 5151 – 5157.
c. Designated facility: In California, each County Board of Supervisors is delegated the authority to designate one or more local acute care and/or psychiatric hospital(s) as a receiving site for 5150 patients. The site must be approved by the State’s Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and be able to provide evaluation and initial care for psychiatric patients. Madera County is home to River Vista Behavioral Health, which is an Acute Psychiatric Hospital, and a 24-Hour designated facility. Madera County Department of Behavioral Health Services (BHS) also contracts with various designated acute care facilities to serve the community. d. Receiving facility: This distinction applies to hospitals and other facilities that are equipped to provide medical clearance and other acute care services to a psychiatric patient in an outpatient setting in preparation for that patient’s transfer to an inpatient psychiatric facility or discharge to outpatient care.
e. Hospitals: Madera Community Hospital and Valley Children’s Hospital are the only two acute care hospitals in Madera County.
f. California Forensic Medical Group (CFMG): This is the contract agency responsible for providing medical and psychiatric services to the inmates of the Madera County jail and Juvenile Hall.
g. Law enforcement: Includes those Madera County sworn peace officers working for municipal police departments, County Sheriff’s Department, and the California Highway Patrol.
h. Individuals designated to write 5150 applications in Madera County: Pursuant to Welfare & Institutions Code Section 5150, the following persons and organizations are authorized to involuntarily detain individuals:
Revised 01/28/2025 3
All sworn peace officers for the County and cities within Madera County, including the California Highway Patrol.
Designated attending staff at designated and non-designated facilities. Additionally, the Madera County Department of Behavioral Health Services (BHS) Director has the authority to designate those who can initiate a 5150 hold in Madera County. Designation consists of training, testing and certification as a designated professional.
i. Medical clearance: The definition of ‘medically cleared’, as defined by this County, includes tests, screenings, and clinical observations that allow a medical professional to conclude that a patient is medically stable, does not require further inpatient acute care hospitalization, and is physically suitable to begin the 5150 evaluation process to determine if patient requires transfer to higher level of care (inpatient) or further psychiatric care at a lower level of care (outpatient basis). j. Psychiatric hospitals: Hospitals licensed in California to provide in-patient psychiatric care. River Vista Behavioral Health is an Acute Psychiatric Hospital, and a 24-Hour designated facility located in Madera County.
k. County jail/inmate: Any person booked, medically cleared and physically placed into the Madera County jail. The individual is physically housed in the County facility and is under the care and supervision of Madera County Department of Corrections staff and CFMG medical staff.
l. Penal Code Section 11166: States that a mandated reporter shall make a report to an agency specified in Penal Code Section 11165.9 whenever the mandated reporter, in his or her professional capacity or within the scope of his or her employment, has knowledge of or observes a child whom the mandated reporter knows, or reasonably suspects has been the victim of child abuse or neglect. The mandated reporter shall make an initial report to the agency immediately or as soon as is practicably possible by telephone and the mandated reporter shall prepare and send, fax, or electronically transmit a written follow up report within 36 hours of the triggering event. m.Penal Code Sections 11165.1-11165.6: Defines child abuse and neglect to include the following: sexual abuse; physical abuse; child endangerment; failure to provide adequate care and supervision; failure to protect the child from malnutrition or failure to thrive; failure to provide adequate medical or mental health treatment; failure to provide adequate food, clothing, or shelter; emotional abuse; caretaker absence or incapacity; or causing a situation wherein the child’s physical well-being may be at risk. n. Penal Code Section 4011: States that, when determined by a judge, a prisoner confined in any city or county jail within the jurisdiction of the court who requires medical or surgical treatment necessitating hospitalization that cannot be provided by the city or county jail, the court in its discretion may order the movement of the prisoner to the county hospital (if one exists) or any hospital designated by such court.
It further states that it “shall be the duty of the sheriff or other official in charge of county correctional facilities to maintain the necessary guards, who may be private security guards, for the safekeeping of such prisoner, the expense of which shall be a charge against the county.”
o. CA Health and Safety Code 1799.111: States that a licensed acute care hospital that is not a designated facility is immune from liability if it detains a 5150 patient for up to 24 hours.
Revised 01/28/2025 4
p. Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA): Was enacted by Congress in 1986 to enhance access by all persons to emergency services and prohibit discrimination because of financial or insurance status. EMTALA is otherwise known as the hospital “Anti-Dumping” law.

ASSUMPTIONS, GENERAL AGREEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF THIS COMMUNITY PROTOCOL
1. Mental health is a community responsibility. No single agency, organization or facility in the community has the resources, scope of services, or skill sets to address the challenges on their own. Madera County puts a high value on the respectful and collaborative process used to develop this protocol and is committed to using that same process as this protocol is implemented and refined over time.
2. Our shared goals are to ensure access to the right care at the right time in the right place...and to de-escalate every mental health intervention to best serve the consumer, the care providers, the children involved, and law enforcement. This commitment to ‘de-escalation’ will allow care to be provided with the most respect for an individual’s rights and capacity to choose.
3. We agree to leverage the competencies of our community partners and to share training and knowledge unique to each stakeholder for the benefit of the larger community.
4. We are committed to maintaining individual and community safety. At times, individuals may require voluntary or involuntary treatment in order to assure their safety and the safety of others.
5. We recognize that individuals who may be experiencing serious psychiatric crises and who also violate the law must be held legally accountable for their actions.
6. We recognize that individuals who may be experiencing serious psychiatric crises may also have acute physical conditions and stabilizing their physical/medical needs is a priority.
7. This 5150 protocol applies to Madera County residents. (Additional procedures are required when BHS staff are involved in finding placement of residents of other counties.) Revised 01/28/2025 5
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: LAW ENFORCEMENT (SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT, MUNICIPAL POLICE AGENCIES [MADERA, CHOWCHILLA])

1. According to the Welfare & Institutions code, peace officers are authorized to complete a 5150 application and to take a person into custody for a mental health evaluation and assessment in a facility designated by the County and approved by the State Department of Mental Health. As there is no facility in Madera County with the capabilities to provide the required mental health evaluation, assessment and/or treatment, peace officers in this County are authorized to take an individual into custody under this W & I code and transport them to the closest acute care hospital for medical clearance, assessment by a County-designated individual, and disposition to the appropriate inpatient or outpatient care centers.
2. Officer considerations and responsibilities
Any officer responding to or handling a call involving a suspected or actual mentally disabled individual should carefully consider the following:

Law enforcement may transport the individual directly to Madera Community Hospital or call ambulance as per their department policies. Role of law enforcement after patient’s arrival at the hospital:
Law enforcement personnel will meet and confer with hospital security and/or lead staff to ensure a smooth transition and to discuss issues regarding patient elopement and/or safety risks and concerns. Law enforcement may remain with the patient in the hospital depending on necessity and remains available for call-back at any time once the officer leaves the premises should the hospital feel law enforcement presence is required for the safety of the patient, hospital staff and other hospital patients/visitors. If law enforcement has reason to believe children in the person’s care or primary residence are at risk of or have been subjected to abuse or neglect, law enforcement shall contact Child Welfare Services and make a report.

They are transported by law enforcement vehicle to the hospital emergency department for medical and/or mental health clearance. If after assessment and stabilization no 5150 hold is written, then upon medical clearance completion hospital emergency department will contact the detaining law enforcement agency for transport back to the county jail for booking. Role of law enforcement after patient’s arrival at the hospital:
Law enforcement officer is to remain with the patient until a security staff member or designee becomes available to physically remain in the treatment room with the patient.
6. Upon arrival at Madera Community Hospital
Patients accompanied by law enforcement personnel will be given priority after life & death, ambulance and other critically ill patients are cared for. The goal is to provide medical clearance and mental health evaluation within 60 minutes of arrival whenever possible.
Hospital staff will notify Madera County Behavioral Health Crisis Response regarding need for a 5150 evaluation after medical clearance has been completed.
7. Upon arrival at Valley Children’s Hospital
Patients accompanied by law enforcement personnel will be given priority after life and death, ambulance and other critically ill patients are cared for.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: COMMUNITY HOSPITALS
Revised 01/28/2025 7
1. Medical clearance
a. Medical evaluations of 5150 patients
Individuals who are experiencing a psychiatric crisis and who are placed on a 5150 hold by law enforcement or other County-designated personnel are brought to the closest appropriate hospital’s Emergency Department (ED) for assessment, treatment and stabilization of their physical conditions. They are treated with the same medical evaluation, physical assessments, and triage principles as applied to any ED patient.
Until referred to another venue of treatment or discharged, each patient is under the primary care of the ED physician, unless otherwise noted. For patients requiring transfer to an inpatient psychiatric facility, all require some level of medical clearance. The parameters of this clearance vary from facility to facility.
b. Patients requiring hospital admission
If a patient under a 5150 hold is admitted into the hospital based on their medical condition, the 5150 hold is suspended.
When that patient is ready for discharge from the hospital, medical personnel will complete a medical clearance and then contact Madera County Department of Behavioral Health Services (BHS) crisis staff. Madera County Department of Behavioral Health Services (BHS) Crisis staff will respond within 1 hour or less whenever possible and re-assess the patient’s mental health status.
If BHS crisis staff determine that the patient continues to meet criteria for a 5150 hold, BHS staff will write a new 5150 hold and coordinate admission of the patient into an appropriate designated psychiatric facility for a 72-hour treatment and evaluation. If, however, the criteria for a 5150 hold are no longer met, the patient and the 5150 hold will be discharged. c. Mental health evaluations of 5150 patients in the ED Upon completion of the medical clearance ED nurse will notify Madera County Department of Behavioral Health Services (BHS) crisis staff of the need for a mental health evaluation.
Madera County BHS staff will respond in 60 minutes or less whenever possible.
Patient transfers or referrals to designated inpatient psychiatric facilities or releases to outpatient services will be facilitated by Madera County Department of Behavioral Health Services (BHS) staff but remains the responsibility of the sending medical facility in accordance with EMTALA. d. Accounting for the 72-hour hold time
In order to ensure that all available time is afforded the patient for an appropriate assessment, a comprehensive evaluation, stabilizing treatment and observance of patients’ rights, and; In order to ensure the safety of the patient and the community; It remains the determination of Madera County BHS and the findings of the W&I Code Section 5150 and 5151 that the 72- hour hold time begins upon admission to an appropriate psychiatric facility designated by the County, and not before. If a patient is medically cleared and awaiting psychiatric placement for longer than 72 hours, the 5150 hold will need to be reassessed and a new 5150 will be written by Behavioral Health crisis worker as necessary and appropriate.
2. Documentation/medical record
Revised 01/28/2025 8
Documentation will be done per hospital policy.
Copies of the patient’s medical record will be sent with the patient upon transfer to a designated inpatient psychiatric facility, including the original 5150 application.
For patients released to outpatient services, the original 5150 application will remain in the patient’s hospital medical record.
3. Role of hospital security staff and/or other hospital or contracted personnel This protocol acknowledges that the security capacity of each hospital in Madera County varies by physical space limitations, availability of security staff, security staffing on duty at various times of day, and other factors.
Hospital security staff and/or other assigned hospital personnel will:
Ensure safety of the patient, the hospital staff, other patients, Madera County Behavioral Health team members and the community.
Strongly encourage patient to stay and take reasonable steps to ensure patient does not leave, including use of an appropriate “sitter” or other assigned hospital staff if patient deemed to be a high risk. Coordinate and communicate with law enforcement and Madera County Behavioral Health Crisis staff regarding any patient that leaves against medical advice, elopes or that continues to be at risk up to and following discharge.
If patient becomes too dangerous or is unable to be detained, contact local police agency for additional assistance or call 911 if an emergency situation. Should a patient who is to be brought to the hospital on a 5150 hold by law enforcement be found to possess a firearm or other deadly weapon, law enforcement will confiscate the weapon and follow Department policy and procedure to account for and secure that weapon before arriving at the hospital. For other patients who arrive by means other than law enforcement and are found to be in possession of a weapon, hospital security policies will apply.
4. Arranging for transportation of patient to accepting psychiatric facility Transportation to an accepting psychiatric facility is the responsibility of the sending medical facility in accordance with EMTALA.

2. Inmates who require 5150 evaluation
For on-site crisis evaluation for patients who are in-custody inmates of the Madera County jail, Madera County Department of Behavioral Health Services (BHS) staff is contacted to conduct 5150 assessments on inmates.
If the inmate is found to meet the criteria for a 5150 hold by Madera County Department of Behavioral Health Services (BHS) staff, CFMG personnel, Madera County Department of Corrections personnel and Madera County Department of Behavioral Health Services (BHS) staff will work together to secure any additional medical clearance that is necessary for admission into a designated psychiatric facility.

SUBJECT:
Assignment of an Airport Ground Lease Agreement between the City of Madera and WSD, LLC, to Wood Cattle Company, LLC
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution approving the assignment of an airport ground lease agreement dated February 19, 2025, between the City of Madera and WSD, LLC, to Wood Cattle Company, LLC SUMMARY:
In July 2020, WSD, LLC, entered a ground lease agreement for airport property and thereafter constructed an aircraft hangar. David E. Wood, the manager and sole member of WSD, LLC, wishes to assign the lease to another entity of which he is also the manager and sole director, Wood Cattle Company, LLC, due to reorganizing his business operations.
DISCUSSION:
On July 15, 2020, David E. Wood, manager and sole director of WSD, LLC, entered a ground lease agreement with the City of Madera for airport property to construct an aircraft hangar and thereafter constructed one. Mr. Wood owns and manages several business entities, and due to reorganizing his business operations, he seeks the City's consent to assign the lease to another entity of which he is also the manager and sole director, Wood Cattle Company, LLC. Staff have confirmed the membership of those business entities with the California Secretary of State. Other than the change in lessee name, no other changes to the lease are requested, thus all terms and conditions will remain the same.
Because the lease agreement requires prior written consent from the City to be assigned, Mr.
Wood seeks the City's consent. The Federal Aviation Administration leaves governance of local airport matters, such as assignments, to local jurisdictions, and does not review aeronautical lease agreements nor is FAA approval required prior to entering a lease. A diagram of the hangar's location at the airport is shown below.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The proposed assignment will not have any fiscal impact on the Airport Fund.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may elect not to approve the assignment of the lease from WSD, LLC, to Wood Cattle Company, LLC.

SUBJECT:
First Amendment to Solar Power & Services Agreement Between SunE GIL1, LLC, and the City of Madera
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution approving the First Amendment to Solar Power & Services Agreement between SunE GIL1, LLC, successor-in-interest to SunEdison Origination1, LLC, and the City of Madera
SUMMARY:
In 2009 SunEdison Origination1, LLC ("SunEdison") installed a leased solar array that tied into the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). In 2021 ENGIE Services, U.S., Inc. (ENGIE) began the installation of a City-owned solar array that also tied into the WWTP. The switchgear installed by SunEdison was upgraded by ENGIE to accommodate the combined loads from the two solar arrays. When City staff notified SunE GIL1, LLC, ("SunE GIL1") successor-in-interest to SunEdison, that their system needed to be turned off to install the upgraded switchgear, they reviewed the matter and requested to amend their original agreement by removing the switchgear from their covered equipment. As the new equipment was installed by ENGIE and is now part of the equipment covered under the agreement between the City and ENGIE for comprehensive energy upgrades, the portion of the SunEdison agreement relative to the switchgear is no longer applicable, leading to the request for an amendment.
DISCUSSION:
In 2009 the City desired to provide solar power electrical generation capability at the WWTP, and in August 2009, the City Council approved a 20-year lease agreement with SunEdison to install a solar array. Thereafter, SunEdison installed the solar array and electrical panel switchgear. SunE GIL1 is the current successor-in-interest to SunEdison.
In 2018 the City Council approved an agreement with ENGIE to develop an energy-conservation and retrofit plan for multiple City facilities that would save money by consuming less energy and B-10
improve the sustainability of City operations. After the comprehensive plan was developed, the City Council approved an agreement with ENGIE and upgrades to 21 City facilities are nearing completion with higher efficiency lighting, HVAC upgrades, electric vehicle charging stations, solar streetlighting, and solar arrays throughout the City. Two new City-owned solar arrays were installed at the WWTP; one tied into the WWTP and the other tied into the utility grid to generate energy credits that lower the City's overall electric bill. The performance of the arrays is guaranteed to meet certain output levels for 20 years under a Savings Guarantee in the ENGIE agreement (Attachment 3: Energy Services Contract, pages 47-48). During the installation of the array that tied into the WWTP, ENGIE noted that the original electrical switchgear installed by SunEdison in 2009 would be inadequate to handle the combined electrical loads from both the SunEdison solar array and the newer ENGIE solar array. To accommodate the combined electrical loads from both solar arrays that tie into the WWTP, the City authorized ENGIE to upgrade the switchgear that had been installed by SunEdison in 2009.
Due to SunEdison's original switchgear being removed and replaced with newer switchgear specified by ENGIE, SunE GIL1 requests that their 2009 agreement be amended by removing the coverage of the switchgear as a warranted item. However, SunEdison will still be responsible for ensuring that the rest of their system is working per their original agreement from 2009. The upgraded switchgear and the solar array installed by ENGIE will be warranted by ENGIE to meet certain output levels for 20 years. Because this amendment will better clarify the responsibility of each installer towards the solar arrays and switchgear, staff recommends approval of this amendment. The First Amendment to Solar Power & Services Agreement references the City’s interconnection agreement with PG&E; this interconnection agreement is provided as Attachment 4 for reference.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact to the City.
