City Attorney Alan Peake stated this approach would not be feasible, as some employees are salaried, making staggered scheduling impractical.
Richard Albright commented that the City should consider adopting the standard 40-hour work week, referencing other cities-including the 11 cities within Kern COG—s examples.

I wanted to give you a little more information on the two options we offer for producing traffic signs: printed ink with UV protection or black vinyl.
Black Vinyl - Briteline
The vinyl option uses Briteline black vinyl applied to the sign face. This is a very durable option and is particularly well suited for outdoor street signs.
The biggest advantages of vinyl are:
• Excellent long-term outdoor durability
• Very consistent, solid black appearance
• Good resistance to weather and UV exposure
• Proven option for long-term traffic and street-sign applications Printed Ink with UV Protection
With the ink option, we digitally print the black directly onto the reflective sheeting and apply a UV- protective finish. This gives us more flexibility in production and allows us to create very sharp, detailed graphics.
The main advantages are:
• Very clean appearance
• Excellent consistency across the sign
• No vinyl edges or seams
• Great for more complicated graphics/designs
• UV protection helps protect the printed image from fading Longevity:
For a standard outdoor street sign where maximum longevity is the priority, we would recommend the black vinyl. It is a very durable material and is our preferred option when the goal is to get as many years of service as possible out of the sign.
The UV-protected ink is also a durable outdoor solution, but for a straightforward black-and-white street sign, we would choose the vinyl if longevity is the deciding factor.
If appearance is the primary concern, both options will provide a clean, professional-looking sign.
The ink signs will not experience fading until roughly 7-8 years of being out in the sun, where the vinyl is estimated to last at least 10 years before any differences can be seen.

TITLE: Approve Proposed Locations for Installation of Two Flock Community Safety Cameras PROPOSED BY: Lauri Robison
MEETING DATE: September 8, 2026
RECOMMENDATION
Motion to approve the proposed locations for installation of two Flock Community Safety Cameras and authorize staff to proceed with the necessary permitting and installation process.
BACKGROUND
At a regularly scheduled City Council meeting of Tuesday, June 10, 2025, the City Council authorized staff to acquire two Flock Community Safety Cameras at a cost not to exceed $12,000, funded through a donation from California Resources Corporation (CRC).
Following Council's authorization, staff worked with Flock Safety to identify proposed locations for the installation of the cameras. The proposed camera locations are located within the Caltrans right-of-way. According to Flock Safety, the Caltrans permitting process is anticipated to take several months to complete; however, once the City Council approves the proposed locations, work may begin on the required permit applications.
The proposed locations are identified on the attached location maps.
Given that the proposed camera locations have been identified and Council approval is needed before proceeding with the Caltrans permitting process, it is appropriate at this time for the City Council to approve the proposed locations for installation of the two Flock Community Safety Cameras. If the Council does not wish to approve the proposed locations as presented, staff requests direction regarding changes or alternative locations for further consideration.

PROPOSED BY: Eric G. Ziegler
MEETING DATE: June 10, 2025
RECOMMENDATION
1) Motion to authorize staff to acquire two Flock Community Safety Cameras at Cost Not to Exceed $12,000 (Installed).
2) Motion to authorize BHT Engineering to proceed with topographic and boundary survey and Street lighting site plan at a cost of $10,235 using CRC Community Lighting donation of $10,000 and authoring city to assume responsibility for cost in excess of $10,000.
BACKGROUND
In January, Council accepted a combined donation of $22,000 from California Resources Corporation. The purpose of these donations were 1) $12,000 for the acquisition of community safety cameras and 2) $10,000 for Community Safety Lighting.
At this point, it is appropriate and necessary to begin implementation of these projects:
1) City proposes to acquire two Flock Community Safety Cameras at a Cost Not to Exceed $12,000 (Installed). City representatives met with representatives of the KCSO recently to discuss purchase and installation of these cameras. The SO reported that the county had acquired several Flock cameras and that these units are also used by private sector companies for site security applications. The SO suggested that if the city acquired these cameras that they be placed on CA-33 coming into Maricopa and near the CA-166/33 intersection for maximum law enforcement benefit. Should the city acquire these cameras, access will be limited to KCSO as the city's contract police agency. Staff notes that these devices require a two-year contract. Whether that is attainable within the scope of this donation remains to be seen. At this time, staff recommends that Council authorize staff to acquire two Flock Community Safety Cameras at a Cost Not to Exceed $12,000 (Installed). ommunity lighting. The extra $235 will be covered by the city. The city currently has an open contract with BI gineering for general engineering services This project will proceed under that agreeme City Adm.
