FROM: NANCY BANDA, FINANCE DIRECTOR
VIA: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: CLAIMING LOCAL TRANSPORTATION FUNDS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023 DATE: AUGUST 8, 2023
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 23-61, claiming Local Transportation Funds for Fiscal Year 2023-2024?

BACKGROUND
The Fresno Council of Governments (“FCOG”) has the authority to review claims and allocate such funds in accordance with the Transportation Development Act (“TDA”) of 1971 and Chapter 3 of Title 21 of the California Administrative Code for the purposes allowed under Articles III, IV and VII which provides funding to be allocated to encourage inter-jurisdictional coordination of transportation needs and increased coordination of transportation implementation planning. This funding is allocated by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, which takes the amount of sales tax collected and returns the general sales tax revenue to the Council of Fresno County Governments. They in turn, allocate it to each City in the County based on population for the projects that were budgeted for the 2023-2024 fiscal year.

ANALYSIS
The attached resolution and claim forms for each applicable funding program are routine and required by FCOG to receive the funding for the Local Transportation Funds. With the funding provided under the TDA, the City can fund street projects approved during the budget for each fiscal year, rural transit and assist with regional transportation planning.

The total amount allocated for the City of Mendota is $849,683.00. However, the City will be payable $533,975.00 from the total allocation. The remaining $315,708.00 will be distributed among four sections: Regional Transportation Planning, Community Transit Service, Article 4.5, Fresno County Rural Transit Agency LTF and Fresno County Rural Transit Agency STA. The following table displays each sections allocation:

FY 2023/2024
Regional Transportation Planning $ 19,570.00
Community Transit Service, Article 4.5 $ 34,278.00
Fresno County Rural Transit Agency LTF $ 112,812.00
Fresno County Rural Transit Agency STA $ 149,048.00
$ 315,708.00
2 Regional Transportation Planning is a long-term design of a region’s transportation system. The plan identifies and analyzes transportation needs of the metropolitan region and creates a framework for project priorities.

Community Transit Service, Article 4.5 is a transportation planning agency for community transit services for those disabled, who cannot use conventional transit services. Transportation services which connect intra-community origins and destinations in which needs are not being met in the community.

Fresno County Rural Transit is a transportation service offered in Fresno County to the 13 rural incorporated communities and many unincorporated rural communities with limited services to neighboring counties Kings County (Avenal and Hanford). There is a Demand Responsive or Fixed Route Basis for all passengers. The difference between LTF and STA funding is STA is specific to transit purposes.

FISCAL IMPACT
The amount of $533,975.00 will be allocated to the City of Mendota’s “LTF” Fund.

Municipal Lagoons Treatment Schedule/Proposal
The following proposal addresses the items discussed on October 29,2021, to include excessive sludge buildup in the settlement ponds.

Historical, Traditional wastewater pond systems including the system in use in Mendota, were designed to increase biological activity to break down the solids entering the system from the plant and allow the suspended solids to settle out of the wastewater stream as it travels through the series of ponds, until it can finally be discharged. This process while effective creates, over time sludge layers in the bottom of the lagoons, as the layers rise the pond becomes less able to break down the solids and more pass through to the downstream ponds reducing efficiency and, in this case, releasing foul odors. There are two approaches to removing sludge and maintaining healthy levels of biological activity.

First is the mechanical dredge and haul away method, this is very expensive and provides no mechanism for minimizing future accumulation. Second is through bio augmentation, the addition of specific bacteria cultures blended to ingest the volatile solids present in the sludge layer and keep the future accumulations at acceptable levels. This method is far more cost effective.

After site review our company recommends the following treatment regimen to address the problems listed above.
1) Lagoon systems - We suggest a combination of our Microbe Lift/IND and our Microbe Lift Sludge Away for the treatment of the municipal wastewater lagoon systems to mitigate the existing sludge buildup and minimize future accumulations. ELI's Microbe Liff/IND has demonstrated the capability to enhance the degradation of slow to degrade compounds and specifically address and mitigate FOG accumulations. When combined with Microbe Lift Sludge Away we have seen noted improvements in 90 to a maximum of 120 days from start of treatment, and a significant reduction of sludge buildup. We have demonstrated 1" to 3" of sludge reduction per month in several studies, while providing a reduction in final eflluent and ongoing odor control throughout the process. 352 W Bedford #llz Fresno, CA 93711 Phone / Fax (559) 369-2473 2) Odor abatement is achieved through the microbial products facultative capability to function anoxically in the low oxygen areas of the lagoon blocking odor causing sulfate pathways, and the ability of the formulation purple-non sulfur microorganisms to effectively mitigate hydrogen sulfide from the system through their biological process.

Primary treatment lagoons #1 and #2 with capacities of 20 million each, Accounting for free board the amount to be treated @70% of total is 14 million gallons each. Once treated, the cultures will continue to grow and move downstream helping to minimize accumulation in the downstream ponds.
1) Treatment at startup, apply 140 gallons MICROBE-LIFT IND and 70 gallons of Microbe Lift Sludge Away to each lagoon
2) Following initial treatment add 30 gallons MICROBE-LIFT IND and 15 gallons of Microbe Lift Sludge Away to each lagoon once per week for four weeks. Monthly maintenance will be as follows: 30 gallons MICROBE-LIFT IND and l5 gallons of Microbe Lift Sludge Away to each lagoon once per month
Initial treatment of both ponds will be provided at no charge by Aqua Natural Solutions. * Maintain a pH in the range of 6.5 to 7.9,

FROM: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: WAIVING THE SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 23-02, AMENDING TITLE 15 OF THE MENDOTA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATED TO ADOPTION BY REFERENCE OF THE 2022 CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE AND ASSOCIATED TRADE CODES
DATE: AUGUST 8, 2023
ISSUE
Should the City Council waive the second reading of and adopt Ordinance No. 23-02, amending Title 15 of the Mendota Municipal Code related to adoption by reference of the 2022 California Building Code and Associated Trade Codes?

BACKGROUND
Title 15 of the Mendota Municipal Code (“MMC”), Buildings and Construction, incorporates by reference the California Building Standards Code, including the California Building Code and associated trade codes (collectively “Standard Codes”), in order to address compliance with industry-standard health and safety practices related to construction. The various Standard Codes are generally updated by the California Building Standards Commission (“CBSC”) on a triennial basis. In 2020 the City of Mendota (“City”) incorporated by reference the then-current 2019 set of California Standard Codes and now the newly adopted 2022 set of California Standard Codes must be enforced by the building department beginning this year.

At its regular meeting on July 25, 2023, the City Council waived the first reading of the ordinance and scheduled the public hearing for the August 8, 2023 regular City Council meeting.

A public notice noticing the hearing was posted at Mendota City Hall and in the August 2nd edition of the Firebaugh-Mendota Journal.

ANALYSIS
As the Standard Codes adopted by the CBSC take effect, typically on January 1st of the calendar year following their adoption, all agencies are required to implement the provisions of those codes, unless local circumstances dictate that amendments are appropriate. As such, the City must amend Title 15 of the MMC to reflect the most current Standard Codes.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.
