1 AGENDA ITEM – STAFF REPORT
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: JENNIFER LEKUMBERRY, DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES/ACM VIA: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE FACILITIES CUSTODIAN POSITION JOB DESCRIPTION AND SALARY

AND AUTHORIZATION TO FILL THE POSITION
DATE: FEBRUARY 18, 2025
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-14, authorizing the creation of the position of Facilities Custodian and approving its respective job description and salary schedule?

BACKGROUND
During labor negotiations, the City of Mendota (“City”) agreed to explore outsourcing janitorial services. However, after thorough research and agreement from AFSCME, it was decided to proceed with creating a new position dedicated to facility maintenance. This position will focus on comprehensive tasks such as cleaning, maintenance, and minor repairs. The City of Mendota currently manages multiple municipal buildings and outdoor spaces, including office buildings, parking lots, and recreational facilities, all of which require consistent and thorough custodial services to maintain cleanliness and functionality. Currently, custodial tasks are handled by the City’s Maintenance Workers. Creating a dedicated Facilities Custodian position will streamline operations, improve service quality, and ensure better upkeep of City facilities.

ANALYSIS
The creation of the Facilities Custodian position will streamline custodial duties across all Cityowned facilities, reducing the reliance on maintenance workers who are tasked with a wide range of other public works projects. This dedicated position will focus on detailed cleaning, waste management, minor repairs, and event support, allowing maintenance workers to prioritize more technical and specialized tasks. By centralizing custodial work, the position will enhance operational efficiency and ensure consistent upkeep of City facilities. The salary schedule for the position is recommended as follows:

Title Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6
Facilities Custodian $21.2619 $22.3250 $23.4413 $24.6134 $25.8440 $27.1362

FISCAL IMPACT
Based on step 1 of the proposed salary schedule the approximate fiscal impact for the first year is $47,668 which will be paid from the General, Water, and Sewer Funds. This amount does not include the costs for health insurance, which may vary due to several factors. Additionally, merit increases will be applied each year, which may result in an increase in the overall cost. 2 RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-14, authorizing the creation of the position of Facilities Custodian and approving its respective job description and salary schedule.

FROM: MICHAEL OSBORN, CITY ENGINEER
VIA: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: AWARDING THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR THE DERRICK & OLLER

ROUNDABOUT TO AGEE CONSTRUCTION CORPORATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,083,542.00
DATE: FEBRUARY 18, 2025
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-15, awarding the construction contract for the Derrick & Oller Roundabout to Agee Construction Corporation in the amount of $3,083,542.00?

BACKGROUND
The City of Mendota (“City”) has entered into a Cooperative Agreement with Caltrans to design and construct the Derrick & Oller Roundabout at the intersection of Derrick Avenue (SR 33) and Oller Street (SR 180) utilizing local transportation funds, Caltrans State Minor A funds and Federal Congestion Management and Air Quality (“CMAQ”).

The City has completed right of way clearance, environmental review (CEQA & NEPA) and construction documents. On August 8, 2024, Caltrans gave authorization for construction funding and on October 22, 2024, the California Transportation Commission authorized Caltrans’ Minor A funding.

The request for bids was initially advertised in the Business Journal and construction documents (plans and specifications) were made available to contractors through local Builder’s Exchanges on Monday, December 16, 2024 and advertised again on Friday, December 20, 2024. On Tuesday, February 4, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. the public bid opening was held at City Hall. Five general contractors attended and submitted bids, along with staff and the City Engineer. The bids were as follows:

CONTRACTOR BASE BID AMOUNT
Agee Construction $3,083,542.00
Central Valley Asphalt $3,344,957.00
Avison Construction $3,478,941.00
RJ Berry Jr, Inc. $3,599,166.00
American Paving Co. $3,732,438.30
2 ANALYSIS
The City Engineer has reviewed the submitted bid packages. The apparent lowest bidder, Agee Construction Corporation, and their bid package was reviewed and found to be complete and responsive. They also exceeded the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (“DBE”) goal of 21% with a 52.4% DBE participation. Agee Construction has a good reputation for street projects and is a licensed Class A contractor.

The Engineer’s Estimate for the project was $3,974,864.00, so this bid received present a good value to the City.

We will work with the contractor for scheduling, but work is anticipated to start in April and continue into September.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City has been awarded and authorized to utilize the CMAQ Funding and Caltrans received authorization for the Minor A (SHOPP) funding, as shown in the budget below.

The lowest responsive and responsible bid price is about 20% lower than the Engineer’s Estimate and fits within the budget. This also allows CMAQ funding for the City to add landscaping improvements to the center island and the adjacent landscape areas. The City will submit for and receive reimbursement for 88.53% of the total CMAQ funding. The City will also request reimbursement from Caltrans for the Minor A funding. Additional expenses to the City will be for Construction Engineering (Administration, Management and Testing services) as well as coordination with the California Highway Patrol for traffic safety. City (“Local”) expenses will be paid for out of the City’s Enterprise Street Fund (Gas Tax, LTF, Measure C) and were budgeted for in the adopted FY 2024-2025 Annual Budget. This project will not impact the General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt resolution 25-15, awarding the contract for construction of the Derrick & Oller Roundabout to the lowest responsible, responsive bidder, Agee Construction Corporation in the total amount of $3,083,542.00 and authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute all documents necessary for the completion of the Project. 3 Attachment:

To: Farmers and Community Leaders
Subject: A Call for Unity in Supporting Our Workforce and Agriculture Dear Farmers and leaders of Califomia,
I write to you today as the Mayor of Mendota, the heart of agriculture in our state, to express my deep appreciation for the hard work and dedication you bring to our fields, our economy, and our communities. Agriculture is the backbone of Califomia, and it thrives because of the commitment of farmers and the labor force that supports this essential industry.

As we all know, the success of our farms depends on the hands that harvest our crops, the hardworking men and women who labor in the fields under the sun, ensuring food reaches the tables of millions across the country. Many of these workers are immigrants, individuals who do not have a criminal background but rather honest, dedicated people seeking only to provide for their families and contribute to the prosperity of our state.

I urge you to join me in advocating for a fair and comprehensive immigration reform, one that recognizes the contributions of undocumented workers who have built their lives here through years of hard work and sacrifice. Good, non-criminal immigrants cannot be living in fear. These individuals are not strangers to us; they are our neighbors, our coworkers, and an essential part of Califomia's agricultural economy. They deserve a pathway to stability, one that allows them to continue working legally without fear, so they can thrive alongside us.

Furthermore, it is important to recognize that mass deportation does not work and is not the solution. Removing hardworking people from their jobs, their families, and their communities weakens our economy, disrupts our food supply, and creates unnecessary suffering. The answer is not to take people away from their livelihoods but to create a fair and just system that allows them to continue contributing to our state in a meaningful way.

Additionally, I ask for your support in securing reliable water resources for our farms. Water is the lifeline of agriculture, and without it, our industry and workforce suffer. We must work together, farmers, laborers, and policymakers to push for long-term solutions that ensure our fields remain productive and our communities remain strong. 643 Ouince $treet Mendota, Galifornia 93640

To Whom It May Concern,
On behalf of the City of Mendota, I am writing to express strong support for the continued operation of the Head Start program in the community of Cantua Creek. This program is an essential resource for families in rural communities, providing critical early childhood education, nutrition, and family support services that help shape the future of our children.

The Head Start program in Cantua Creek serves some of the most vulnerable children and families in our region. For many low-income and working-class families, this program is the only accessible early education opportunity, ensuring that children enter kindergarten ready to learn and succeed.

Additionally, Head Start offers vital support to parents, helping them with resources such as job training, parenting education, and social services that strengthen the entire community.

Closing this much-needed program would have devastating consequences. Families in Cantua Creek already face significant challenges due to geographic isolation and limited access to essential services. Without Head Start, many children will lose access to a safe and nurturing educational environment, which could lead to long-term setbacks in their academic and personal development.

Moreover, the loss of this program would put additional strain on families who rely on Head Start for childcare while they work or pursue educational opportunities.

As a neighboring city, Mendota understands the importance of investing in early childhood education, particularly in rural communities where resources are scarce. Keeping the Cantua Creek Head Start program open is not just a matter of education -
it is a matter of equity, opportunity, and
community well-being.

We urge all decision-makers involved to prioritize the needs of the children and families in Cantua Creek and ensure the continued operation of this essential program. The future of our communities depends on the opportunities we provide for our youngest and most vulnerable members.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

The Term shall automatically renew in one- (1-) year increments (each a “Renewal Period”) until the earliest of any of the following events (which shall be referenced herein as “Terminating Events”):

4.1. Expiration. The Term of this Lease, as may be renewed pursuant to Section 4, shall not exceed a total of ten (10) years under any circumstance whatsoever.

4.2. Non-Renewal by Either Party. If either Party provides the other Party written notice of non-renewal (the “Notice of Non-Renewal”) at least thirty (30) calendar days before the expiration of the current Renewal Period, the Term shall cease to automatically renew pursuant to Section 4 and this Lease will expire at 5:00 p.m. on the final day of the current Renewal Period. The Notice of Non-Renewal shall specify the time by which Lessee is required to promptly remove all personal property from the Leased Property.

Should the City elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section, the City shall comply with the Notice of Termination procedures set forth in Section 4.7 herein. 3 4.5. Condemnation. If, during the Term, the whole or any portion of the Leased Property is taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat or exercise of said power (all of which are called “Condemnation” herein), this Lease shall terminate on the date that the condemning authority takes title or possession of the Leased Property, whichever occurs first. If more than 25% of the Leased Property is taken by condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee’s option, to be exercised in writing only within ten (10) calendar days after the City has given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within ten (10) calendar days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Leased Property remaining. Any award for the taking of all of any award for the taking of all or any part of the Leased Property by Condemnation shall be the property of the City, whether such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for taking of the fee, or as severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any award for loss or damage to Lessee’s trade fixtures and removable personal property. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of such Condemnation, the City shall, to the extent of severance damages received by the City in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage to the Leased Property caused by such Condemnation except to the extent that Lessee has been reimbursed therefor by the condemning authority.

10. FACILITY USE FEES AND DEPOSITS.

10.1. Purpose of Facility Use Fee Schedule. As the City continues to grow and facilities age, the City must develop a financial system to support our community investment while maintaining the high level of service we currently provide. The City will continue to provide basic services funded entirely by general taxpayers; however, those benefiting from special services (which create additional City expenses) must contribute financially. The City acknowledges that the community benefits when youth/adults are engaged in sports activities. The Facility Use Fee Schedule associated with the use of City Facilities is intended for the participants to supplement, rather that supplant the investment of the general taxpayers. The Facility Use Fee Schedule strives to:
• Amortize the capital investment and cover maintenance/operational costs of a field. • Pay for and augment operation/maintenance costs for a field where tax appropriations support the basic service.
• Control use of the field.
• Assess a portion of the costs of the field to users who may not be tax supporters. • Enable the Department to provide fields for which funds might not otherwise be available.

The primary goal of this purpose statement is to develop an understanding that the pricing of services is a conscious procedure that requires continual investigation and review by the City.

10.2. Payment of Fees and Deposits Required. Permittees are required to pay the fees and deposits necessary prior to using the requested Facility(ies). The fees and deposits required for the facility use will be listed on the Facility Use Permit. Permittees must pay all fees and deposits prior to the use of the Facility(ies). If Permittees fail to pay all fees and deposits prior to the use of the Facility(ies), there will be a 10% late fee for each day fees are not paid. All future Facility Use Applications will not be allowed/approved until all fees are paid.

The City will assign the appropriate fees and deposits in accordance with the City’s Facility Use Fee Schedule (as attached hereto as Exhibit “A”), City Administrative Policy No. 2004.01 (Event Permit For Non-Profit Policy No. 24-02
11 Organizations), the City’s Administrative Policy regarding City Participation in Community Events, and any other applicable City fee schedules, policies, and procedures.

If a Permittee forfeits their approved used in accordance with subsection 9.1.6 of this Policy and elects to reapply for the use, the Permittee will be required to pay all deposits/fees once again. Any applicable deposits/fees will not carry over.

10.3. Refunds.

10.3.2. Refund of Deposit. Deposits will be refunded if the Permittee abides by this Policy, the Conditions of Approval listed in the Facility Use Permit, as well as all pertinent City codes.

If the deposit will not be refunded (or a portion thereof), the City will notify the Permittee in writing with the reasons for which the deposit (or a portion thereof) is being withheld.

• If it has rained within the preceding 24 hours, Permittees scheduled to use public fields must call the City at (559) 655-3291. City personnel will make determination of field conditions/closures, and the decisions are not negotiable.
• The City may declare a field closed and reopening subject to a re-inspection. Conditions set forth as a result of there-inspection of the field should be evaluated by the Permittee at practice/game time for playability. The Permittee must employ the playability criteria used by City staff. • Permittees are expected to make educated, responsible decisions regarding field condition playability. The groups should employ the playability criteria used by City staff and take into consideration the current and future quality of the turf.
• Persons witnessing misuse of fields by other scheduled or unscheduled users are advised to contact the Mendota Police Department at (559) 600-3111 or Mendota City Hall at (559) 655-3291 (during regular working hours only).
• Misue/Use of Facility during wet conditions shall result in the assessments of penalties as described in Section 11.6 of this Policy. It is the Permittee’s responsibility to ensure that all coaches/parents understand and enforce this policy.

11.3. Facility Modifications. Requests to modify or improve any City field shall be submitted in writing to the City for review and consideration. No permanent structures or equipment shall be erected on City Facilities unless approved by the City and is dedicated for community use. Additionally, Permittees may not temporarily store their equipment or belongings in/at any City Facilities, unless approved by the City. A request to modify or improve a Facility does not constitute approval. Approval will be provided in the form of a written document and will outline the scope of the modifications as approved.

11.4. Turf Preservation. Cooperation is needed for the preservation of the turf of City Facilities by following these guidelines:
• Field use, especially practices, should be conducted in such a way that the action takes place on different sections of turf, thus reducing excessive turf damage in one area. Rotate use of areas, and when possible, stay off fringe or bare areas to limit erosion and further damage. • Replace turf divots at end of each day to help re-root grass. • No tarps or material which may damage the grass may be placed on the turf. Any turf coverings used must be made of breathable material.
• Do not use fields during or after heavy rain, or when wet or muddy (see inclement weather policy). • Soccer practices are not to be held on the infield area of a softball or baseball diamond. • Remove all equipment at the conclusion of each day.
• Do not overcrowd fields by scheduling multiple games in areas reserved. Allow a distance between fields for safe passage of spectators and participants.
• Report hazards to Mendota City Hall at (559) 655-3291. • Report immediate emergencies (broken water lines, gushing sprinkler heads, etc.) to the City’s designated employee. When calling, be prepared to fully identify yourself, your location (park/school), and the specific nature of the emergency so that staff can bring the appropriate repair equipment.

Policy No. 24-02
13 • Do not drive or park cars, motorcycles, or other motorized vehicles on turf areas, unless given written authorization by the City.

11.5. Permit Cancellation. The City reserves the right to cancel any Facility Use Permits for any of the following reasons:
• It conflicts with any City sponsored league, program, activity or event • Maintenance needs/issues
• Overuse of a field
• Unsafe conditions
In these cases, all attempts will be made to provide advance notice and to schedule an alternate location. In the event of an emergency, when only short or no notice can be afforded, groups must cooperate with the cancellation so as not to risk loss of facility use privileges. If there are no alternate Facilities to accommodate the use, the City is not obligated to provide an alternate solution.

11.6. Penalties for Facility Use Permit Violations
The City utilizes two separate penalty procedures for Facility Use Permit Violations, depending on the severity of the violation.

11.6.1. Minor Violations. Minor violations include any violations of this Policy. Penalties for minor violations include:

First Offense: Written warning to the user group/individual and restitution for damages/costs, if applicable.

Second Offense: One-day (or one Event day) suspension of any existing permits and restitution for damages/costs, if applicable.

Third Offense: Three-day (or three Event days) suspension of any existing permits and restitution for damages/costs, if applicable.

11.6.2. Major violations. Major violations include the use or presence of unauthorized alcohol, drugs, and the occurrence of fights at any event. Penalties for major violations include:

First Offense: One-month suspension of any existing permits and restitution for damages/costs, if applicable.

EXHIBIT B
Potential Changes to City of Mendotaìs Facility Use Policy (FUP) No. CONCERNS PROPOSED SOLUTIONS

1. Limit non-profit organizations’
monopolization of the soccer field.

Background:

Priority Group Classifications (“PGC”):

PGCs were intended to provide a priority
list to resolve conflicting Facility Use
Application (“FUA”) schedules at the
staff level.
• Eliminate PGCs:
o In the event of conflicting FUA schedules, the applications can be considered by the Recreation Commission (“Commission”). The Commission will determine a solution to the conflict.
o If a FUA applicant is not satisfied with the Commission’s determination, the applicant may appeal the decision to the City Council. The City Council’s determination would be final. • Proposed FUP Revisions:
o Eliminate Section 4 - Priority Group Classifications
o Modify of Section 5 - Facility Allocations
 Outline the process by which the Commission will evaluate and resolve conflicting FUAs. Should this include: (i) a revised PGC list (removing Group 3 or adding “youth” to Group 2’s definition, for example); or (ii) allow discretion based on applicants’ written or oral presentations?
 Outline the process by which applicants may appeal the decision of the Commission to the City Council.

2. Hourly restrictions on the use of the
soccer fields (currently five (5) hours)
are insufficient for applicants.
• Hourly use restrictions are influenced by various factors including, but not limited to, weather, maintenance, and usage. Increasing the hourly restriction to six (6) hours will allow another thirty (30) minutes for field set-up and thirty (30) minutes for field clean-up. • Proposed FUP Revisions:
o Modify Section 6.1.3 - Hourly Restrictions

3. Inability to water athletic facilities
when they are open to the public results
in additional damage to the fields.
• Once the second soccer field is ready for use, close each field an additional, alternating day during the week to allow for proper watering.

Potential Changes to City of Mendotaìs Facility Use Policy (FUP) o Example: The Danny Trejo Soccer Field would be closed on Fridays for watering and the new soccer field would remain open for use. On Saturdays, the new soccer field would be closed for watering, and the Danny Trejo Soccer Field would remain open for use. Fields would continuously alternate closures to allow for proper watering. • Proposed FUP Revisions:
o Modify Section 6.1.2.2 - Availability of Soccer Fields

4. Concerns regarding fees and insurance
costs for use of Athletic Facilities.

Concerns regarding Applicants
assigning or “subleasing” FUAs to
Illegitimate Representatives.

Background:

Previous FUA applicants requesting use
of the soccer field have shared with City
staff that they are not able to afford to pay
the City’s Facility Use fees and the cost of
the Liability Insurance that is required by
the City. Some have opted to cancel their
FUAs and use the field under another
organization that has an approved FUA
and pay them a lesser fee to “sublease”
the facility.

Previously, there have been instances
where FUA applicants are not present at
their approved facility while it is being
used by members of their league.

Members of their league state they are not
aware of the conditions of approval or
• Modify FUA fees for Athletic Facilities at an amount determined by the City Council. o City staff contacted neighboring cities to inquire about their facility use fees:
 City of Kerman: $85.00 per day and per field
 City of Firebaugh: $10.00 per day for lights (no fee for use of the field only)  City of Los Banos: $35.00 per hour and per field without lights and $50.00 per hour and per field with lights
 City of Madera: $12.50 per hour and per field without lights and $32.50 per hour and per field with lights with a 2-hour minimum. Additional fees include $25.00 Administrative Fee and $50.00 deposit per field.
 City of Coalinga: Private Use is $30.00 per hour and $200.00 per field preparation fee; Non-Profit Youth is $20.00 per hour and $200.00 per field preparation fee; and NonProfit Adult is $25.00 per hour and $200.00 per field preparation fee. Tournament Fees are $350.00 per day (Private Use); $230.00 per day (Non-Profit Youth); and $250.00 per day (Non-Profit Adult)
 City of San Joaquin: $83.00 per day (General Use); $55.00 per day or monthly fee (Youth Sports); $10.00 per hour for use of lights (Non-Youth Organization); $5.00 per hour for use of lights (Youth Organization)
 City of Huron: Unable to obtain information
Potential Changes to City of Mendotaìs Facility Use Policy (FUP) City FUPs, which results in damage to the
facilities and violations.
• Add a provision to the FUP prohibiting the unauthorized assignment/“subleasing” of a permit.

Unauthorized assignment of a permit will result in revocation of the permit. • Require applicants must specify/designate authorized representatives in their FUAs.

Applicants will be required to have at least one designated representative at the reserved facility for the entirety of their approved use. Designated representative(s) must ensure that the FUA conditions of approval are being met.
• Proposed FUP Revisions:
o Modify Section 9 – Conditions of Approval
o Modify Section 11.5 – Permit Cancellation
o Modify Exhibit “A” – Fee Schedule for Use of City of Mendota Athletic Fields

5. Underuse of Reserved Facilities.

Background:

Applicants with approved FUAs do not
use the requested Facilities on their
approved days/times, and do not notify
the City of the facility(ies) not being used.

This results in facility(ies) being unused
by any potentially interested applicants.
• Section 9.1.6 currently states a permit will be forfeited if the permittee fails to use the permit three (3) times after reserving facilities.
• Require applicants to notify the City, or their designated representative, no later than seventytwo (72) hours prior to the approved use if they will not be using the facility. Failure to notify the City will result in penalties. By requiring notification on a specific timeline, it will allow the City to offer the facilities to other applicants who filed FUAs with conflicting schedules.

Those applicants will be contacted in the order in which their FUAs were received. • Proposed FUP Revisions:
o Modify Section 9.1.6 – Compliance with Approved Dates/Times for Facility Use

6. Public is unaware of FUP provisions,
including availability of athletic fields.
• Translate the FUP to Spanish. The FUAs and permits are already translated to Spanish. • Create and install signs at Athletic Facilities with information summarizing general FUP rules, availability of facilities, and hours of operation.
• Create a Frequently Asked Questions list regarding the FUP. These FAQs can be translated to Spanish.

Potential Changes to City of Mendotaìs Facility Use Policy (FUP) • Create a page on the City’s website that lists all information regarding the FUP and FUA process.
