SUBJECT: Report, Discuss, and possible Approval of resolution No. 2022-0113 A resolution of the City Council of the City of McFarland approving an additional appropriation of funds from the general fund to fund the continuance of the building inspector stipend
SUMMARY:
On June 9, 2022 the city promoted the Building Inspector, Larry Ronk, to the Community Development Director position leaving the building inspector position vacant. Upon the promotion, city council approved a $400 per month stipend for a three-month period to allow time to recruit and hire a fulltime building inspector.
Because the city has been unable to fill the building inspector position, staff is recommending the stipend be continued until at which time the city is able to hire a building inspector.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council Approve Resolution No. 2022-0113 appropriating $400 per month from the general fund for the stipend and the continuance of the building inspector stipend.
Financial impact:
$400 per month until the city hires a building inspector. 1 | Page

DATE: October 6, 2022
SUBJECT: Report, Discuss, and possible Approval of resolution No 2022-0115. A resolution of the City Council of the City of McFarland approving the purchase of three new patrol vehicles and the appropriation of $195,000 from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to fund the purchase.
SUMMARY:
Several months ago, staff presented a plan to council to update the MPD fleet of patrol vehicles by the purchase of new vehicles over a period of time. Council approved a portion of the plan, which included the purchase of three new patrol vehicles. Those vehicles have been purchased and are now in the process of being equipped and sent to the MPD.
As a reminder the reason for the new patrol vehicle request included the following discussion:
Several years ago the McFarland Police Department (MPD) was depleted of patrol vehicles and looked for a method to outfit a growing police department with an adequate patrol fleet. Because funding was limited the department looked to bring in used patrol vehicles through a lease purchase program from a company that recycled used patrol vehicles.
In 2020 the police department formulated an agreement with Wildrose Motors out of Anaheim California to purchase ten refurbished 2011 patrol vehicles for the police department. All ten of these vehicles were used patrol vehicles most having over ninety thousand miles. The vehicles had refurbished motors and transmission and were previous patrol vehicles from other agencies.
The agreement incorporated a three-year payment program whereas the city would pay monthly installments of approximately $7000 over the three-year period for a total payment of $260,000. All the patrol vehicles now have over 100,000 miles and are at the point they are frequently in need of repair and maintenance just to keep them operational. Currently, the department has two of these vehicles out for transmission replacement having already replaced the transmission in two other vehicles. Frequently these vehicles are in the shop for repairs such as struts, brakes, air-conditioned and other repairs.
So far this year the cost of repairs for the patrol fleet is just over $65,000 and the costs are expected to increase. As the fleet becomes older they become more expensive to maintain and because patrol vehicles are involved in high speed driving and pursuits they must be maintained in pristine mechanical condition. In addition to the costs, the majority of patrol vehicles have fading paint, scratches and dents which reflect negatively on the image of the police department. 1 | Page
In addition to the costs of maintenance and repair, the MPD has increased its staffing by one School Resource Officer and is now in the process of recruiting and hiring a second School Resource Officer as well as a fourth Sergeant. With these increases the police department will struggle to assure each officer has a patrol vehicle readily available.
Recently the police department was short of patrol vehicles due to repairs and staff was forced to use a truck for patrol purposes. Although the truck is outfitted with emergency equipment it is not safe for emergency driving and it precludes officers from transporting prisoners.
Staff is recommending council approve the purchase of three new Ford interceptor patrol vehicles for a cost of $65,000 each. The vehicles would be purchased with ARAP funds in the amount of $195,000.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council Approve Resolution No. 2022-0115 appropriating $195,000 from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and approve the purchase of three new patrol vehicles.
Financial impact:
The total impact to the 2022/2023 ARPA funds is $195.000 2] Page

FROM: Kenny Williams, Chief of Police / City Manager
DATE: October 6, 2022
SUBJECT: Use of the City Council Chambers by the MUSD (Expulsion & Truancy Hearings) RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council discuss and possibly approve the use of the McFarland City Council Chambers by the McFarland Unified School District (MUSD) for their expulsion and truancy hearings.
DISCUSSION:
The MUSD has requested the city to use the city council chambers for the MUSD expulsion and truancy hearings. The expulsion and truancy hearings typically involve students with behavior or attendance issues that have risen to the level requiring intervention.
The MUSD has made the request based on the need to formalize the hearings in a manner that would professionalize the hearings and bring about more cooperation from the students and parents. Because the city council chamber resembles a courtroom, the MUSD indicated the hearings improve the cooperation from the parents and the students and lead to better behavior and attendance from the students.
The use of the city council chamber would not interfere with the council meetings or the planning commission as the MUSD indicated they will work around the schedule of the city.
The MUSD believes the change in the behavior of the students decreases the need for police service at the schools and therefore they have requested that the city partner with them in this proposal. This partnership would include the use of the building without a fee and assistance with the scheduling of the use of the building.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The financial impact would be the increase in utilities during the time the MUSD uses the council chamber.
