TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVING THE APPLICATION FOR THE LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND

AIRPORT PARK PROJECT
DATE: AUGUST 5, 2025
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-46, approving the application for the Land and Water Conservation Fund Airport Park Project?

BACKGROUND
The Land and Water Conservation Fund (“LWCF”), established by Congress through Public Law 88-578, provides matching federal grant funds to state and local governments to support the acquisition and development of public outdoor recreational facilities. In California, the program is administered by the Department of Parks and Recreation.

The City of Mendota (“City”) intends to apply for LWCF funding to support development of a new community park located near the William Robert Johnston Municipal Airport and referred to as “Airport Park.” The proposed park project will enhance public access to outdoor recreation in a historically underserved area of the city.

The City is seeking funding through the LWCF to support the development of a new public park near the William Robert Johnston Municipal Airport, known as “Airport Park.” This project is intended to expand access to outdoor recreation in a part of the community that has historically lacked adequate park space.

Airport Park will introduce much-needed recreational amenities and green space to a neighborhood with limited access to such facilities. The project supports the City’s broader goals of enhancing quality of life and promoting equitable access to parks and open spaces.

To ensure the project aligns with community needs, the City conducted public outreach efforts, including a community meeting and bilingual surveys. Input received from residents guided the design and proposed features of the park, which include walking paths, playground equipment, shaded picnic areas, flexible open space for various activities, and sports fields.

Adoption of Resolution No. 25-46 authorizes the City to submit an application for LWCF grant funding, affirms the availability of matching funds, and designates the City Manager to carry out all necessary actions related to the grant application and administration. 2 FISCAL IMPACT
The total estimated cost of the Airport Park Project is $4,000,000. If successful, the City may receive up to $2,000,000 in LWCF grant funds, with the City providing the required match through the General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-46, approving the application for the Land and Water Conservation Fund Airport Park Project.

1 AGENDA ITEM – STAFF REPORT
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: JENNIFER LEKUMBERRY, DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATION SERVICES/ACM VIA: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVING THE AMENDED AND RESTATED JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT OF THE

CENTRAL SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY RISK MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY
DATE: AUGUST 5, 2025
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-49, approving the amended and restated Joint Powers Agreement of the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority?

BACKGROUND
The City of Mendota is a member of the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority (“CSJVRMA”), a Joint Powers Authority (“JPA”) created in 1979 and last amended in 1994. CSJVRMA provides pooled risk-sharing and insurance services to its member cities, including coverage for general liability, workers’ compensation, and property damage.

The CSJVRMA Board of Directors, in coordination with its legal counsel and administrative staff, has conducted a comprehensive review of the governing Joint Powers Agreement to modernize language, align with current legal requirements, and ensure the agreement reflects current operational practices. Approval of the amended and restated JPA by two-thirds of member cities is required for the amendments to become effective.

ANALYSIS
The Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement, effective July 1, 2025, introduces several important updates and clarifications, including but not limited to:
• Updated Definitions: Terminology has been clarified for consistency and better understanding across the agreement.
• Government Code Compliance: A new provision has been added in accordance with Government Code Section 6509, designating the City of Ripon (and the City of Madera as secondary) as the entity whose legal restrictions govern the JPA's operations. • Expanded Powers: Language has been added to allow flexibility for the Authority to potentially create or participate in a captive insurance entity in the future. • Governance Adjustments: Clarifies roles of the Board, Executive Committee, and Officers, and provides for more efficient policy and operational oversight. • Meetings: Establishes a minimum requirement of two meetings per year for the Board and confirms compliance with the Brown Act.
• Financial Practices: Clarifies the structure for operating and reserve funds, annual budget adoption, and audit procedures.
2 • Withdrawal and Termination: Updates provisions related to voluntary withdrawal, involuntary termination, continued liabilities, and refunds. • Legal and Administrative Updates: Reflects current laws, best practices, and risk management principles.

A finalized clean version is included as Exhibit “A” to Resolution No. 25-49 for formal approval and execution. Also attached to this staff report is a memorandum from the CSJVRMA to the City Council detailing the proposed changes. Additionally, a redlined version of the JPA is provided, highlighting all modifications made to the original 1994 agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of this resolution. The City’s existing budget accounts for participation in CSJVRMA, and the proposed amendments do not alter the financial obligations of member agencies.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-49, approving the amended and restated Joint Powers Agreement of the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority.

Attachments:

1. Memorandum from CSJVRMA

1 AGENDA ITEM – STAFF REPORT
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: JENNIFER LEKUMBERRY, DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES/ACM & KEVIN

SMITH, CHIEF OF POLICE
VIA: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: MOBILE SPAY AND NEUTER CLINIC FOR CATS AND DOGS DATE: AUGUST 5, 2025
ISSUE
Shall the City Council provide direction to staff to obtain services for a one-day mobile spay and neuter clinic for cats and dogs at a cost of $9,500?

BACKGROUND
Animal overpopulation, particularly of stray and unaltered cats and dogs, continues to be a challenge within the City of Mendota. In an effort to provide accessible services that help address this issue, staff has explored mobile spay and neuter clinic options that could temporarily expand local veterinary capacity and directly benefit Mendota residents.

A mobile clinic provider has offered to bring a one-day spay and neuter bus to the City to serve eligible animals. The service would be structured around a point-based pricing model to help ensure value and encourage responsible pet ownership.

ANALYSIS
The mobile clinic would visit Mendota for a one-day event, during which approximately 20 to 40 animals could be serviced, depending on their size and gender. The cost to the City for this oneday event is $9,500.

Each animal sterilized is assigned a specific number of “points” based on weight and gender:

Animal Weight Female Male
Up to 25 lbs 10 pts 5 pts
25–49 lbs 15 pts 10 pts
50–74 lbs 25 pts 20 pts
75+ lbs 35 pts 30 pts
Pregnant Add-on +10 pts +10 pts
The $9,500 fee secures 600 total points for procedures. Based on this structure, a mix of cats and dogs of varying sizes could be accommodated, allowing flexibility in scheduling appointments while ensuring optimal use of available points.
2 To reduce no-shows and promote commitment, the mobile service provider recommends charging pet owners a nominal fee of $10 to $40 per appointment. This amount would be retained by the service provider and is in addition to the City’s $9,500 payment.

The clinic is appointment-based, with residents of Mendota receiving priority. However, if open appointments remain open the day of the clinic, non-residents may be accepted if they are waiting on standby. The City would be responsible for providing the following:
• A suitable site for the mobile clinic to park and operate • Clean and accessible restroom facilities
• A payment of $9,500
This service offers a cost-effective method for reducing the stray population and promoting responsible pet care in Mendota.

For comparison in cost, the following agencies provide the spay and neuter service in Fresno (not mobile):

HOPE- Spay & Neuter Pricing
Cats- $ 75
Dogs up to 40lbs- $ 150

Fresno TNR (for Cats)
$30 feral/community cat (includes ear tip) and $45 (no ear tip) includes one shot of fvrcp and rabies vaccine. If this is out of budget, you can request sponsorship by making a post to our Facebook page with pictures.
• This group does not have set appointments, rather they pass along openings when available, announced in the FB #3 Chat. Turn on notifications. • Feral pregnant spays are prioritized. Please dm good belly pics/video to Savannah Hill to be added to the Urgent chat.
www.cvfix.org (for Cats)
This subsidized program is available to Fresno City/County residents. • Book your appointment online, good with their partnered Palm Bluff Vet clinic. • $20 covers spay/neuter and rabies shot. Fvrcp is an additional $20 if you choose to opt-in.
• Good for friendlies or ferals. (Please specify & request an ear tip if feral, as it is not automatically done for those in traps)
• These appointments are posted by CVfix.org on Sunday afternoons.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total fiscal impact to the City would be $9,500, which is not currently budgeted. If approved, the expense would need to be appropriated from the General Fund. The cost does not include any portion of the public fee collected by the mobile provider.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council discuss the proposal and provide direction to staff regarding the potential scheduling of a one-day mobile spay and neuter event at the cost of $9,500.

2 2.04.070 – Salaries
A.
