City of Mendota
Proclamation No. 25-02
Recognizing the Marjaree Mason Center and Proclaiming October 2025 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month
WHEREAS, domestic violence impacts countless individuals, without regard to age, race, religion, or economic status; as victims suffer at the hands of a spouse or partner, it affects their children, families, and entire communities; and
WHEREAS, domestic violence is widespread and affects over 12 million men and women in the United States each year, and at its most tragic level, kills an average of three women every day; and WHEREAS, the Marjaree Mason Center served 8,482 adults and children impacted by domestic violence last year, including over 81,000 nights of safe shelter; and WHEREAS, each October, the formal recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month allows the community to acknowledge and show their support for survivors and advocates to end of the cycle of abuse through education; and
WHEREAS, the Marjaree Mason Center hosts a teen dating violence prevention program, the kNOw MORE® program, as well as countless training and outreach activities to educate our community on the dangers of power and control in intimate relationships and how individuals can seek safety; and
WHEREAS, each year, the Marjaree Mason Center hosts the Top Ten Professional Women Awards in October to highlight the contributions of professional women while also raising awareness of domestic violence. This signature community event was held on Wednesday, October 15 at the Fresno Convention Center with keynote speaker, Fresno County Deputy District Attorney Rachel Baskin, with moderator David Carr, who came together to discuss the power of second chances, justice, and healing — offering hope to those still living in fear and courage to those ready to speak out; and
WHEREAS, Purple Thursday, October 16, is a national day dedicated to remembering the victims of domestic violence, to supporting survivors, and to raising awareness on local resources available to put an end to domestic violence; and
WHEREAS, a partnership of organizations has emerged to directly confront this crisis and are achieving success. The Marjaree Mason Center, along with law enforcement, health care providers, clergy and concerned citizens are helping in the effort to end domestic violence. We must recognize the compassion and dedication of these volunteers and professionals and increase public understanding of this important problem.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Mendota hereby recognizes the Marjaree Mason Center and proclaims the month of October 2025 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and urges all citizens of Mendota to work together to end the cycle of violence in our community.

1 AGENDA ITEM – STAFF REPORT
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: ANTONIO PIZANO, DEPUTY CITY CLERK
VIA: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: ACCEPTING THE BID RECEIVED FOR SURPLUS PROPERTY VALUED AT OVER $100.00
AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO DISPOSE OF ALL REMAINING SURPLUS
PROPERTY
DATE: OCTOBER 21, 2025
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-58, accepting the bids received for surplus property valued at over $100.00 and authorizing the City Manager to dispose of all remaining surplus property?
BACKGROUND
Government Code Section 37350 allows cities to dispose of property for the common benefit, and Mendota Municipal Code (“MMC”) Chapter 3.20 establishes the process for the disposition of the City of Mendota’s (“City”) surplus personal property.
On August 19, 2025, in accordance with the requirements of MMC Chapter 3.20, the City Council declared surplus certain City-owned personal property that is deemed excess and unnecessary for the City’s operations. Following the declaration of surplus property, the City published a public notice as required by the MMC notifying the public of the proposed sale of surplus property.
ANALYSIS
On September 24, 2025, the City held a yard-sale style event for the sale of surplus personal property that was valued at less than $100.00 and a total of $26.00 was generated from the sale.
The list that is attached to Resolution No. 25-58 as Exhibit “A” identifies all surplus property that was sold at the event, and what items were not sold and needs to be disposed of.
Furthermore, the City accepted sealed bids for surplus personal property valued at over $100.00 until 5pm on September 24, 2025. Pursuant to MMC Section 3.20.040, staff is presenting the bid received for surplus personal property valued at $100.00 or more for the City Council’s approval.
The bid that was received by the aforementioned deadline is listed for the item in the document attached to Resolution No. 25-58 as Exhibit “B.”
With the approval of Resolution No. 25-58, the City Council will be authorizing the City Manager to sell the item valued at over $100.00 to the respective bidder and to scrap, discard, or direct-sell any remaining surplus items.
2 FISCAL IMPACT
Depending on the final disposition of each item, there will be a small positive impact to the general fund. A total of $826.00 would be generated from the item valued at $100 or more if the bid sale is completed, in addition to the $26.00 already received from the surplus property sale held at the Public Works Yard on September 24, 2025.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-58, accepting the bids received for surplus property valued at over $100.00 and authorizing the City Manager to dispose of all remaining surplus property.
Attachments:

2 NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Mendota does hereby authorize the City Manager to dispose of any remaining surplus property, as identified in the document attached hereto as Exhibit “A,” that did not result in a successful sale in accordance with the Mendota Municipal Code and California law.

FROM: CELESTE CABRERA-GARCIA, CITY CLERK
VIA: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: CANCELLING THE DECEMBER 2, 2025 AND JANUARY 6, 2026 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL
MEETINGS AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ANY NECESSARY
WARRANTS
DATE: OCTOBER 21, 2025
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-59, cancelling the December 2, 2025 and January 6, 2026 regular City Council meetings and authorizing the City Manager to execute any necessary warrants?
BACKGROUND
The cancellation of regular City Council meetings during the winter holiday season has been the City Council’s practice for many years. This has been done in order to allow time for the City Council and staff to spend time with family and friends during the holidays. In addition, during the years where the meetings have not been cancelled, there has been difficulty in obtaining a quorum of the City Council, ultimately leading to the cancellation of the meetings.
ANALYSIS
Staff is requesting that the City Council cancel the Tuesday, December 2, 2025 and the January 6, 2026 regularly scheduled City Council meetings due to the holidays. Aside from the City of Mendota, the cancelling of meetings during the holidays is a common practice followed by other municipalities. This practice is generally due to individuals travelling during these holidays which can result in difficulties in obtaining a quorum at meetings.
In the case that any pressing business was to arise that requires the City Council’s action, a special meeting could still be called. Also, the attached resolution will allow the City Manager to approve the necessary warrants for the meeting, which will then be brought to the City Council for review and ratification at the next regular meeting following the cancelled meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: MICHAEL OSBORN, CITY ENGINEER
VIA: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZING THE APPLICATION FOR THE MEASURE C SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL
FUNDING FOR THE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL MASTER PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
PROJECT TO THE FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
DATE: OCTOBER 21, 2025
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-60, authorizing the application for the Measure C Safe Routes to School funding for the Safe Routes to School Master Plan Implementation project to the Fresno Council of Governments?
BACKGROUND
The Safe Routes to School (“SRTS”) program was identified in 2024, being derived from funds not expended in existing programs from the 2006 Measure C Extension. Beginning in 2023, the SRTS Subcommittee of Fresno Council of Governments (“FCOG”) and Fresno County Transportation Authority (“FCTA”) has focused on the need to invest and support educational institutions throughout Fresno County, specifically in rural communities. The goals of the Measure C SRTS allocation are to support transportation projects serving primary and secondary students in accessing public school facilities to:
• Enhance the safety of children walking or biking to school; and • Prioritize schools with significant safety concerns or risk to children bicycling or walking to school based on crash data, traffic analysis, or traffic behavior around primary and secondary schools; and
• Support disadvantaged and low-income communities with fewer transportation safety options to ensure all children have access to safe routes.
In June 2023, the City Council adopted their SRTS Master Plan which identified both programmatic and physical improvements at each of the five school sites in Mendota Unified School District (“MUSD”) to improve the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists traveling to and from the schools. It involved a substantial amount of community feedback and traffic data analysis.
In July 2025 the Fresno Council of Governments (“FCOG”) released a call for projects for a onetime funding opportunity with applications due October 14, 2025. 2 ANALYSIS
There is a total of $6 million available for this program. While the maximum funding per project is $1.5 million, there are potentially 18 cities plus the County competing for the $6 million.
Because of this, the application has been structured to allow consideration for partial funding.
The project cost to implement to the physical improvements identified in the SRTS Master Plan is estimated to be $810,000. An additional improvement was identified to increase the project cost to the maximum award of $1.5 million. While not specifically identified in the SRTS Master Plan, the replacement of the existing two-way left turn lane in Belmont Avenue with a raised median with left turn pockets, landscaping and pedestrian refuge areas at crossings would help slow the speeds of vehicular traffic and provide for shorter, safer crossing for pedestrians accessing Mendota Junior High School and High School, as well as the Mendota Library.
FISCAL IMPACT
No local match is required for this program. If the project is fully funded, the City may need to contribute $222,000; however, if the project receives partial funding, no local funds will be required. Local funds, if used, would be Local Street Funds and there is no potential impact to the General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-60 authorizing the application for the Measure C Safe Routes to School funding for the Safe Routes to School Master Plan Implementation project to the Fresno Council of Governments.

VIA: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO RELEASE THE FINAL PAYMENT OF THE
RETENTION TO ACE FENCE COMPANY FOR THE ROJAS-PIERCE PARK EXPANSION PHASE III – NEW SOCCER FIELD FENCING PROJECT
DATE: OCTOBER 21, 2025
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-63, authorizing the City Manager to release the final payment of the retention to Ace Fence Company for the Rojas-Pierce Park Expansion Phase III – New Soccer Field Fencing project?
BACKGROUND
Providing additional fields for residents and visitors to play soccer has been a priority for the City of Mendota (“City”) for many years. The City’s Public Works Department has graded a new soccer field to the west of the existing soccer field constructed in 2019 at Rojas-Pierce Park.
The City has entered into an agreement with the County of Fresno for Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) funding for the Phase III expansion of Rojas-Pierce Park which includes the new fencing, irrigation, turf and sidewalk along Smoot Avenue.
City Council Resolution No. 25-33 authorized the award of the construction contract to Ace Fencing Company. On August 31, 2025 the project was found to be substantially complete and on September 17, 2025 the Notice of Completion was recorded by the Fresno County Recorder (Document No. 2025-0090080).
Following recordation of the Notice of Completion, a 35-day waiting period commenced during which any stop notices or liens may be filed against the contractor.
ANALYSIS
To the best of staff’s knowledge, no liens or stop notices have been filed prior to nor during the 35-day waiting period; therefore, payment of the retention may be made in full to Ace Fencing Company.
FISCAL IMPACT
The final payment of retention ($5,884.05) was included in the fee of the awarded contract and will be reimbursed by CDBG funds from Fresno County. This project will not impact the General Fund.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: KEVIN W. SMITH, CHIEF OF POLICE
VIA: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVING THE QUOTE SUBMITTED BY MATHEWS HARLEY DAVIDSON FOR THE
PURCHASE OF A MOTORCYCLE FOR THE MENDOTA POLICE DEPARTMENT AND
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS TO
EFFECTUATE THE PURCHASE
DATE: OCTOBER 21, 2025
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-64, approving the quote submitted by Mathews Harley Davidson for the purchase of a motorcycle for the Mendota Police Department and authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary documents to effectuate the purchase?
BACKGROUND
The City of Mendota (“City”) has seen a rise in cannabis-related activity, with four physical addresses involved in cannabis sales and distribution. Between January 1, 2023, and February 20, 2025, the Mendota Police Department (“MPD”) responded to a total of 96 Calls for Service (“CFS”) related to these locations. These included 11 emergency 911 calls, 21 audible burglary alarm activations, 8 municipal code violations, and 56 other service calls, such as traffic collisions, medical requests, site inspections, disputes, and non-emergency assistance. Notably, Element 7 Cannabis Dispensary at 796 Oller Street accounted for 30 calls for service, Boca Del Rio Farms at 420 W. Belmont Avenue generated 22 calls, Dom Pen and two other storefronts at 1269 Marie Street had 40 calls, and Oasis Farm at 418 W. Belmont Avenue reported 4 calls.
The increasing demand for police response highlights the growing need for enhanced enforcement efforts to address public safety concerns related to cannabis use, including the prevention of drug-impaired driving (“DUID”). With the accessibility of cannabis increasing in Mendota, ensuring that officers have the proper training and resources to enforce impaired driving laws is critical to maintaining roadway safety.
To address this issue, MPD is proposing a comprehensive enforcement and education initiative funded by the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program (“CTFGP”) through the State of California Highway Patrol, which was awarded to the department earlier this year. CTFGP provides funding for the enforcement of individuals driving under the influence of alcohol and cannabis.
The project includes training two officers in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (“SFST”) to improve their ability to detect drug-impaired drivers accurately. Funding for the purchase of a police patrol motorcycle is also provided to increase enforcement efficiency, particularly during high-visibility saturation patrols. The department will also conduct one saturation patrol per quarter, with two officers specifically assigned to focus on impaired driving enforcement. 2 Through this multi-faceted approach, the MPD aims to reduce the prevalence of DUID, enhance roadway safety, and improve overall community well-being.
ANALYSIS
As part of the CTFGP, funding is available for MPD to purchase a police patrol motorcycle. A police patrol motorcycle offers many advantages when it comes to patrolling for intoxicated drivers. For one, they are a lot more maneuverable, which means they can easily navigate through traffic and get to places that patrol cars might struggle with. They are also more discreet and can blend in more easily, making it easier to spot erratic drivers without drawing too much attention. Additionally, they can be more cost-effective in terms of fuel and maintenance compared to larger patrol cars. Overall, they give officers a bit more flexibility and agility in their patrols.
In accordance with the City’s purchasing procedures outlined in Chapter 2.48 of the MMC, City staff obtained three (3) quotes from different vendors for one (1) new 2025 Harley Davidson Pan American Patrol Motorcycle. An overview of the quotes is as follows:
1. Mathews Harley Davidson $30,000.00
2. Bakersfield Harley Davidson $33,585.00
3. Laidlaw Harley Davidson $37,787.00
Staff recommends that the City proceed with purchasing one (1) new 2025 Harley Davidson Pan American Patrol Motorcycle from Mathews Harley Davidson, as the lowest responsible bidder.
Additionally, the quote submitted by Mathews Harley Davidson meets the MPDs needs and specifications, and the quotes of the vendors did not. The City’s Police Chief conducts an ongoing evaluation and assessment of department needs for equipment and has determined that this equipment is needed to adequately enforce traffic laws and enforce driving under the influence cases and DUI Checkpoints.
FISCAL IMPACT
The CTFGP funding includes an allocation of $37,495.00 for the purchase of a police patrol motorcycle, and the proposed purchase price is under budget. The cost of the purchase of the police patrol motorcycle Mathews Harley Davidson is 100% reimbursable through the CTFGP, resulting in no cost to the City once the City seeks reimbursement from the program after purchasing the motorcycle.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-64, approving the quote submitted by Mathews Harley Davidson for the purchase of a motorcycle for the Mendota Police Department and authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary documents to effectuate the purchase.

All grant awards, including any adjustments to requested funding, were made by the Cannabis Grants Unit based on the merits of the Grant Application, scale of operation, and in accordance with the Request for Application (RFA) requirements and associated regulations. As a result, not all Project activities and items detailed in Schedule A are applicable. Refer to Schedule B - Detailed Budget Estimate for approved Budget line items and Project activities. Project activities and items that are not clearly identified/specified in the Grant Agreement must be submitted to and approved by CGU prior to purchase.
Project Description
The Mendota Police Department is seeking funding through the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program to enhance its efforts in addressing drug-impaired driving within the community. The proposed project includes specialized training for two officers to receive Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) certification, equipping them with the necessary skills to identify and address drug-impaired drivers effectively. To support proactive enforcement, the department will purchase a police motorcycle, allowing for increased mobility and efficiency during saturation patrols. Additionally, funding will support staff time for one quarterly saturation patrol, where two officers will focus on detecting and apprehending impaired drivers. To maximize efficiency during these patrols, the department will acquire two e-ticket writers, enabling officers to minimize time spent on administrative tasks and dedicate more time to active enforcement. Finally, a social media outreach campaign will be implemented to inform the public about the dangers of drug-impaired driving and to raise awareness of the department’s increased enforcement efforts. Through this comprehensive approach, the Mendota Police Department aims to improve roadway safety and reduce drug-impaired driving incidents in the community.
Problem Statement & Proposed Solution
Mendota has seen a rise in cannabis-related activity, with four physical addresses involved in cannabis sales and distribution. Between January 1, 2023, and February 20, 2025, the Mendota Police Department responded to a total of 96 calls for service (CFS) related to these locations. These included 11 emergency 911 calls, 21 audible burglary alarm activations, 8 municipal code violations, and 56 other service calls, such as traffic collisions, medical requests, site inspections, disputes, and non-emergency assistance. Notably, Element 7 Cannabis Dispensary at 796 Oller Street accounted for 30 calls for service, Boca Del Rio Farm at 420 W. Belmont Avenue generated 22 calls, Dom Pen and two other storefronts at 1269 Marie Street had 40 calls, and Oasis Farm at 418 W. Belmont Avenue reported 4 calls. This increasing demand for police response highlights the growing need for enhanced enforcement efforts to address public safety concerns related to cannabis use, including the prevention of drug-impaired driving (DUID). With the accessibility of cannabis increasing in Mendota, ensuring that officers have the proper training and resources to enforce impaired driving laws is critical to maintaining roadway safety.
To address this issue, the Mendota Police Department is proposing a comprehensive enforcement and education initiative funded by the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program. The project includes training two officers in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) to improve their ability to detect drug-impaired drivers accurately. A police motorcycle will be purchased to increase enforcement efficiency, particularly during highvisibility saturation patrols. The department will also conduct one saturation patrol per quarter, with two officers specifically assigned to focus on impaired driving enforcement. To maximize the effectiveness of these patrols, the department will acquire two e-ticket writers, enabling officers to complete citations more efficiently and dedicate more time to active enforcement efforts. Additionally, a social media outreach campaign will be launched to educate the public on the dangers of drug-impaired driving and increase awareness of the department’s enhanced enforcement efforts. Through this multi-faceted approach, the Mendota Police Department aims to reduce the prevalence of DUID, enhance roadway safety, and improve overall community well-being.
Schedule A
Performance Measures/Scope of Work
1. DUI Saturation Patrols (Q2 = 1, Q4 = 1)
Goal: Conduct two high-visibility DUI saturation patrols to proactively deter and detect cannabis-impaired drivers.
Timeline: One saturation patrol will occur in the second quarter (Q2), and one will occur in the fourth quarter (Q4).
Quantitative Measurement: The project aims to reduce DUI/DUID-related incidents by 10% over the grant period, compared to the previous year’s data.
Justification: These saturation patrols will provide a focused enforcement presence during periods of elevated risk (e.g., holidays, weekends), increasing visibility and deterrence. By targeting cannabis-impaired drivers, these operations will contribute directly to improving roadway safety and reducing the harms associated with DUID in the Mendota community.
2. Informational/Educational Efforts (Q1 = 4, Q2 = 4, Q3 = 4, Q4 = 4) Goal: Execute a sustained public education campaign using targeted social media posts to raise awareness about the dangers of cannabis-impaired driving.
Timeline: Four posts per quarter (totaling 16 posts annually) will be distributed through the City of Mendota’s and Mendota Police Department’s official social media channels.
Quantitative Measurement: The campaign aims to reach at least 30% of Mendota’s adult (18+) population, estimated at approximately 2,500 individuals, based on population data.
Justification: A proactive education strategy will amplify the impact of enforcement by promoting public awareness. These digital outreach efforts will emphasize legal consequences, safety risks, and community responsibility, creating a broader cultural shift against DUID behavior.
Project Performance Evaluation
To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed project, the Mendota Police Department will employ both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods to measure its impact on community safety. The primary goal is to reduce DUI/DUID incidents by 10% through targeted enforcement and public awareness efforts.
The department will conduct two DUI saturation patrols, one in the second quarter and one in the fourth quarter, to increase the detection and apprehension of impaired drivers. Data will be collected on the number of stops, citations, and arrests made during these operations, as well as any observed reductions in DUI/DUID-related collisions and incidents.
Community outreach will also play a crucial role in the project’s success. The department will implement an educational campaign consisting of four informational efforts per quarter, totaling 16 initiatives throughout the year. These efforts will primarily leverage social media platforms to disseminate information on the dangers of cannabis-impaired driving, aiming to reach at least 30% of Mendota’s adult population. Engagement metrics such as post reach, shares, and interactions will be analyzed to gauge the campaign's effectiveness in raising awareness and influencing behavioral change.
Program Sustainability
The Mendota Police Department is committed to sustaining its efforts to combat drug-impaired driving beyond the grant funding period by integrating key project components into its long-term enforcement strategy. Over the course of the grant, the department will focus on building internal capacity by training officers in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST), ensuring that expertise in identifying drug-impaired drivers remains a department-wide skillset. Additionally, the acquisition of critical enforcement tools, such as a police motorcycle and e-ticket writers, will provide lasting resources that continue to support DUI enforcement efforts without requiring additional funding.
To ensure the continuation of high-visibility enforcement operations, the department will seek to incorporate DUI saturation patrols into its regular traffic enforcement schedule. By utilizing existing department resources, reallocating staff time, and leveraging partnerships with regional law enforcement agencies, the department can maintain periodic impaired driving enforcement efforts even if external funding is reduced. Moreover, the department will work closely with local cannabis businesses to encourage voluntary compliance and explore potential partnerships that support ongoing facility check-ins and educational outreach initiatives.
Schedule A
Administrative Support
The City of Mendota has a strong track record of successfully receiving and administering grant funding to support public safety initiatives, including regular grants from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS). The City consistently manages these grants on time, within budget, and in full compliance with grant requirements, demonstrating its capacity to effectively implement and oversee funded projects. The Mendota Police Department, with support from the City’s administrative team, will be responsible for executing the proposed project, ensuring adherence to all reporting and financial guidelines.
The project will be managed by experienced personnel, including police leadership, grant administrators, and field officers trained in impaired driving enforcement. The department has dedicated personnel with expertise in grant management, financial tracking, and program evaluation, ensuring proper oversight and accountability. Officers participating in the project will undergo specialized training in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST), ensuring they have the necessary skills to carry out saturation patrols effectively.

The cost of running a targeted Facebook ad in a small community like Mendota, California, primarily depends on the metric known as Cost Per Mille (CPM), which represents the cost per 1,000 ad impressions. As of 2024, the average CPM for Facebook ads in the United States is approximately $8.70.
Mendota has a documented population of about 12,595 residents.
Assuming you aim to reach the entire population, you would need 12.595 CPMs. At an average CPM of $8.70, the estimated cost would be approximately $109.57. x 6 Targeted Ads = $657.42

The Guerrilla Cables Police Division offers a turn key product whereas all police related components are assembled and run off a completely separate overlay harness, powered by an additional 12v battery. The install does not impact the Harley-Davidson manufacture warranty as the added items do not piggy back onto the BCM (Body Control Module) and therefore does not create an added strain to the factory charging system. Furthermore, the finished product of the added police department requested accessories do not require the OEM electrical system to be compromised by cutting, splicing wiring, or the attempt to be creative to meet the needs of said police department. The GCPD products are specifically designed for the Pan America and do not have a universal application. Guerrilla Cables Police Division is readily available to answer any questions related to the added police related modifications and the specific department needs.

1 AGENDA ITEM – STAFF REPORT
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: KEVIN W. SMITH, CHIEF OF POLICE
VIA: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVING THE QUOTE SUBMITTED BY CARMAX FOR THE PURCHASE OF A VEHICLE
FOR THE MENDOTA POLICE DEPARTMENT AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER
TO EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS NECESSARY TO EFFECTUATE THE PURCHASE DATE: OCTOBER 21, 2025
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-65, approving the quote submitted by CarMax for the purchase of a vehicle for the Mendota Police Department and authorizing the City Manager to execute all documents necessary to effectuate the purchase?
BACKGROUND
As part of the Mendota Police Department’s (“MPD”) ongoing efforts to maintain an effective and reliable fleet, the need to replace older vehicles has been identified. One administrative vehicle currently in service is nearing the end of its operational life, with maintenance costs increasing and performance decreasing.
ANALYSIS
The Ford Escape has been chosen for its balance of performance, durability, and capability to handle a range of law enforcement needs, including significantly more cargo space than a sedan, allowing for the transportation of equipment, evidence, or other necessary supplies. SUVs also offer a higher ride height for better visibility and are designed with "upfitting" in mind, featuring convenient access points for wiring and mounting equipment.
The 2024 Ford Escape serves as an excellent choice for a police administrative vehicle due to its combination of versatility, fuel efficiency, and modern technology. Designed with a spacious interior, the Escape accommodates a range of equipment, allowing for comfortable transport during long shifts and ensuring officers have everything they need at their fingertips. Its advanced safety features, including collision avoidance systems and lane-keeping assist, along with adaptive driving aids, significantly enhance overall security and ease of operation, which is crucial for high-stress environments. The availability of a hybrid option not only offers significant savings on fuel costs but also aligns with environmentally conscious initiatives, making it an economical choice for budget-conscious departments. Furthermore, the vehicle's state-of-the-art connectivity features support efficient communication and data access, ensuring that staff remain informed and responsive while on duty. This is particularly important in emergency situations where quick decision-making is essential. 2 Overall, the 2024 Ford Escape combines practicality with advanced technology, making it an ideal choice for modern police departments looking to enhance their administrative capabilities such as transportation to and from various locations, as well as for conducting meetings and coordinating operations in the field. Additionally, it serves as a mobile command center equipped with communication tools and resources to efficiently manage emergency situations.
The City was awarded a grant from the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District where the City can receive a $20,000.00 rebate on eligible vehicles, of which the 2024 Ford Escape Plug In Hybrid qualifies. In accordance with the City’s purchasing procedures outlined in Chapter 2.48 of the MMC, City staff obtained three (3) quotes from different vendors (attached to this staff report) for one (1) used 2024 Ford Escape Plug In Hybrid. An overview of the quotes is as follows:
1. CarGurus ($26,495.00 - 16,017 miles)
2. Carvana ($27,590.00 - 21,915 miles)
3. CarMax ($30,998.00 – 2,000 miles)
Although the quotes submitted by both CarGurus and Carvana are the lowest of the three quotes, the mileage and condition of the vehicle quotes by CarMax is best. In analyzing the quotes overall, MPD believes it is important to purchase the vehicle that will last the longest. As such, staff is requesting that the City Council approve the quote submitted by CarMax for the purchase of one (1) used 2024 Ford Escape Plug In Hybrid in an amount not to exceed $35,000.00
FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated total cost of purchasing a 2024 Ford Escape Plug In Hybrid from CarMax will not exceed $35,000.00 (including taxes and fees). The City will receive a rebate in the amount of $20,000.00 from the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District and $15,000.00 has been allocated from the City’s General Funds to complete the purchase.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt resolution No. 25-65, approving the quote submitted by CarMax for the purchase of a vehicle for the Mendota Police Department and authorizing the City Manager to execute all documents necessary to effectuate the purchase Attachments:
1. Quote from CarGurus

FROM: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZING THE FORMATION OF A CITY COUNCIL AD HOC SUBCOMMITTEE TO
ASSIST WITH THE RECRUITMENT OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE
DATE: OCTOBER 21, 2025
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-66, authorizing the formation of a City Council Ad Hoc Subcommittee to assist with the recruitment of the Chief of Police?
BACKGROUND
The City of Mendota (“City”) has received and accepted the retirement notice of Chief of Police Kevin Smith. On December 27, 2025, Chief Smith will conclude a remarkable 44-year career in law enforcement, including nearly 10 years of distinguished service to the City. The City extends its gratitude for his leadership and dedication as we look ahead to the department’s next chapter.
With the upcoming retirement of Chief Smith, the City is initiating the recruitment process to identify and appoint the next Chief of Police. This position serves as a key member of the City’s leadership team and plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and security of the Mendota community.
ANALYSIS
To ensure the recruitment process is conducted in a fair, comprehensive, and transparent manner, staff recommends that the City Council establish an Ad Hoc Subcommittee composed of two Council Members, with one alternate. The Subcommittee will assist with the recruitment process and provide recommendations to the City Manager and City Council.
The Subcommittee will serve in an advisory capacity only and will dissolve upon the completion of the recruitment process or at the direction of the City Council. This approach allows for Council involvement and oversight while maintaining efficiency and confidentiality throughout the process.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the formation of the Ad Hoc Subcommittee.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-66, authorizing the formation of a City Council Ad Hoc Subcommittee to assist with the recruitment of the Chief of Police. 2 Attachment:

1 AGENDA ITEM – STAFF REPORT
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVING THE DELTA-MENDOTA SUBBASIN GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY
AGENCY JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY AGREEMENT
DATE: OCTOBER 21, 2025
ISSUE
Shall the City Council, in its capacity as the Mendota Groundwater Sustainability Agency, adopt Resolution No. 25-67, approving the Delta-Mendota Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Agency Joint Powers Authority Agreement?
BACKGROUND
The Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (“GSAs”) in the Delta-Mendota Subbasin (“Subbasin”) currently have agreements with the San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority (“SLDMWA”) whereby SLDMWA provides fiscal, contracting and administrative services for the subbasin. SLDMWA's Board has directed that SLDMWA consolidate its mission to core objectives and as a result, SLDMWA has indicated that it intends to transition away from providing these services, with a goal of full transition by the start of the next SLDMWA fiscal year (March 1, 2026), without leaving a gap in services for the necessary functions to implement SGMA in the Subbasin. As a result, the Subbasin GSAs evaluated several structural options to ensure continuity of necessary services and provided direction to form a Joint Powers Authority (“JPA”) and execute associated service agreements prior to the start of the March 1, 2026 Fiscal Year.
ANALYSIS
On July 1, 2025, a special Subbasin Coordination Committee (“Committee”) meeting and subbasin workshop was held to present and receive initial feedback from Subbasin GSAs on a draft JPA agreement. Initial GSA feedback was incorporated in the draft JPA agreement, and at the August 11, 2025, Committee meeting, Legal Counsel Lauren Layne presented the revised draft JPA agreement. Additional GSA feedback was received, and a final JPA agreement dated September 3, 2025, was presented to the Committee on September 8, 2025. At that meeting, the Committee made a motion to recommend GSAs adopt the JPA agreement.
The final JPA agreement for consideration by Subbasin GSAs for adoption is provided as Exhibit “A”. To meet the schedule to establish the JPA and successfully transition consultants and financial management from SLDMWA before fiscal year end (February 28, 2026), it is requested that GSAs adopt the JPA agreement before November 21, 2025. The Effective Date of the JPA agreement is December 1, 2025.
2 The JPA establishes an independent public entity composed of the participating GSAs. The JPA will:
• Coordinate Subbasin-wide groundwater sustainability activities. • Implement the policies, projects, and monitoring programs outlined in the adopted GSP. • Pursue state and federal funding opportunities to support implementation efforts. • • Provide a transparent governance structure that includes representation from all Member agencies.
Importantly, the JPA agreement safeguards the City's financial and regulatory interests. Costs are allocated equitably among Members, budgets require approval, and the JPA's debts or obligations are not transferred to individual Members. By joining the JPA, the City of Mendota (“City”) strengthens its ability to meet SGMA requirements, ensures long-term water reliability for residents and businesses, and advances regional collaboration in resource management.
FISCAL IMPACT
Costs associated with participation in the JPA will be subject to annual budget approval and costsharing arrangements agreed upon by the member agencies. No unanticipated financial obligations will be transferred to the City. Participation also enhances the City's ability to secure external funding, offsetting local expenses related to GSP implementation.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council, in its capacity as the Mendota Groundwater Sustainability Agency, adopt Resolution No. 25-67, approving the Delta-Mendota Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Agency Joint Powers Authority Agreement.

Each Member qualifies individually to serve as a GSA under SGMA; and WHEREAS, the Members initially managed the Subbasin pursuant to SGMA through the development and implementation of six different coordinated GSPs; and 2 WHEREAS, in 2024, the Members adopted a single GSP to cover the entire Subbasin to comply with SGMA; and
WHEREAS, the Members formed a "Coordination Committee" pursuant to that certain "Memorandum of Agreement Among the Delta-Mendota Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Agencies" (the "MOA") to, among other things, make recommendations, approve budgets and authorize entering into contracts on behalf of the Subbasin; and WHEREAS, the Members previously contracted with San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority ("SLDMWA") to assist in coordinating administrative, financial and technical management of the multiple GSAs in the Subbasin.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Mendota, in its capacity as the City of Mendota Groundwater Sustainability Agency, as follows:
1. The City Council hereby approves the Agreement to form the DeltaMendota Subbasin GSAs Joint Powers Authority attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and incorporated herein by this reference.

1 AGENDA ITEM – STAFF REPORT
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: ADOPTING THE DELTA-MENDOTA SUBBASIN DOMESTIC WELL MITIGATION POLICY DATE: OCTOBER 21, 2025
ISSUE
Shall the City Council, in its capacity as the Mendota Groundwater Sustainability Agency, adopt Resolution No. 25-68, adopting the Delta-Mendota Subbasin Domestic Well Mitigation Policy?
BACKGROUND
The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (“SGMA”) requires sustainable groundwater management across California by 2040. The Delta-Mendota Subbasin, covering nearly 1,200 square miles, includes multiple Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (“GSAs”) and has established a single Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Plan (“GSP”) in compliance with SGMA and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (“RWQCB”). Minimum Thresholds (“MTs”) for groundwater levels are set at 2015 seasonal lows, and since adoption of the GSP in 2024, GSAs have maintained groundwater levels above those thresholds.
To safeguard domestic well owners, the Subbasin Coordination Committee developed a Domestic Well Mitigation Policy using recommendations from the California Department of Water Resources (“DWR”) and Self-Help Enterprises’ Drinking Water Well Impact Mitigation Program. Per the policy, domestic well are water systems that supply water for domestic or residential use to no more than fourteen service connections. While dry wells have been relatively rare (fewer than 40 reported replacement applications since 2015 across the entire Subbasin), the Policy provides a "last line of defense" for domestic groundwater users. This is required as part of our adopted GSP and SGMA
ANALYSIS
The Domestic Well Mitigation Policy:
• Applies primarily to landowners using groundwater for domestic health and safety purposes as of November 19, 2024 (date of revised GSP adoption). • Establishes a process for well owners to apply for mitigation/assistance if their wells run dry or face water quality degradation caused by Subbasin GSA actions. • Provides for short-term emergency water supplies (bottled water, temporary tanks) within 24-72 hours of application approval.
• Outlines long-term mitigation options, including pump modification, deepening of wells, replacement wells, or connection to municipal/community systems. • Includes water quality mitigation for specific contaminants of concern (Nitrate, Gross Alpha, Chromium VI, Arsenic, and 1,2,3-TCP).
2 • Establishes an appeal process through the Delta-Mendota Subbasin Page 179 of 278 Coordination Committee.
• Creates a Subbasin-wide mitigation fund of $300,000, funded equally by participating GSAs over three years, to provide financial resources for domestic well mitigation. • Requires periodic review and updates at least every five years.
The City of Mendota, as a member agency within the Delta-Mendota Subbasin, is being asked to adopt this Policy in order to align with the Subbasin's coordinated implementation of its Groundwater Sustainability Plan (“GSP”). The Policy was developed through extensive public outreach, including posting on the Subbasin SGMA website for public comment, discussion at multiple GSA and Coordination Committee public meetings, and incorporation of comments into the final adopted GSP.
FISCAL IMPACT
No immediate fiscal impact to the City's General Fund. The Subbasin Mitigation Fund will be financed collectively by the participating GSAs as outlined in the Delta-Mendota Subbasin Memorandum of Agreement (“MOA”). Costs for implementation, if incurred, will be addressed within the GSA's groundwater management budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council, in its capacity as the Mendota Groundwater Sustainability Agency, adopt Resolution No. 25-68, adopting the Delta-Mendota Subbasin Domestic Well Mitigation Policy.

Delta-Mendota Subbasin
Domestic Well Mitigation Policy
Adopted: _______________, 2025
The Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) in the Delta-Mendota Groundwater Subbasin (Subbasin) have historically worked with disadvantaged communities to improve drinking water access.
For example, the San Joaquin River Exchange Contractors have provided drinking water to the City of Dos Palos for nearly 100 years, because groundwater extracted in Dos Palos has historically been too salty for potable use. Nonetheless, the GSAs realize more must be done to ensure that domestic well users in the Subbasin do not face undesirable impacts from groundwater level depletion during implementation of the Delta-Mendota Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP), in compliance with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA).
This Domestic Well Mitigation Policy (Policy) was developed by the Delta-Mendota Subbasin Coordination Committee considering recommendations found in the following two public documents:
Framework for a Drinking Water Well Impact Mitigation Program (Self Help Enterprises, et al.) and Considerations for Identifying and Addressing Drinking Water Well Impacts (CA Dept. of Water Resources).
Policy Purpose
This Policy will consider impacts to domestic wells, as well as water systems that supply water for domestic or residential use to no more than fourteen (14) service connections, using groundwater wells.
Individual GSAs within the Subbasin may consider including additional well uses within their jurisdictional boundaries.
The purpose of the Policy is to mitigate the effects that may be felt by domestic water users whose wells have gone dry or are in imminent threat of going dry due to groundwater levels dropping as a result of groundwater management in the Subbasin. Subject to specific conditions, this Policy also addresses mitigation for water quality for domestic well users.
Pursuant to the single Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP), Minimum Thresholds (MTs) for lowering of groundwater levels across the Subbasin are set at 2015 seasonal low groundwater levels.
This means GSAs in the Subbasin are already committed to maintaining groundwater levels above what was measured in 2015 (“The plan may, but is not required to, address undesirable results that occurred before, and have not been corrected by, January 1, 2015.” (CWC §10727.2(b)(4)). Since implementation of the Subbasin’s original GSPs began in 2020, GSAs in the Subbasin have successfully avoided undesirable results that would occur by water levels dropping below 2015 seasonal lows. This Policy is meant to serve as a last line of defense to protect domestic groundwater users in the unlikely event that the Subbasin GSAs’ efforts fail to maintain those groundwater levels above the MTs.
Data from the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and county records indicates that since 2015, counties within the Delta-Mendota Subbasin have received a total of only 37 well replacement applications.
1 However, as DWR notes on its website, their data comes from self-reporting on DWR’s Dry Well Reporting System, and some GSA representatives receive reports of dry wells directly from users. In these cases, groundwater users were responding directly to GSA representatives, because some GSA members (e.g., water districts and/or irrigation districts) have been engaging in well mitigation activities without formal policies or programs in their individual service areas prior to SGMA’s enactment in 2015.
1 California’s Groundwater Live: Well Infrastructure (https://sgma.water.ca.gov/CalGWLive/#wells). 3738036v7 / 21603.0005 2
Well replacement applications were identified on the Merced County Environmental Health Department’s list of domestic well permits issued for “out of water” or “low water” wells and on Stanislaus County’s voluntary well reporting system. The applicable counties reported that there were two well permits identified in the Subbasin portion of Fresno County and zero from the Subbasin portion of Madera County. As mentioned above, it is unknown whether this total number includes any dry wells not reported to DWR.
Merced County permits do not disclose whether or not those reported dry wells were “out of water” due to lowered groundwater levels, collapse or other mechanical failure, or some other reason. Of the 12 well permit applications submitted to the Stanislaus County system for the Subbasin since 2015, four were reported as dry wells, six were either undefined or outage reports, and two were other issues including well casing failure and/or sediment intrusion. Of the two replacement well permit applications for the Fresno County portion of the Subbasin, one was an agricultural production well, not a domestic supply well. There is no indication of the reason for the well replacement requests.
In summary, during the last 10 years, fewer than 40 wells across the nearly 1,200 square miles of the Subbasin have been reported dry or applied for replacement. Though it is known that not all of those were drinking water wells, the exact number of drinking water wells replaced since 2015 is unknown due to a lack of information collected on the replacement well permit applications.
Policy Eligibility
This Policy primarily applies to landowners using groundwater for domestic health and safety supply purposes as of November 19, 2024, the date the revised Subbasin GSP was adopted by all GSAs. Though owners of all types of wells are eligible to file for relief under the Policy, relief is not guaranteed and will be subject to analysis by the applicable GSA where a claim for relief is filed and pursuant to the provisions of Executive Order N-3-23. Well owners must participate or agree to participate in a GSA’s Well Registration Policy/Program to be eligible for mitigation, if such a policy exists or is developed.
This Policy does not apply to wells installed after the date of GSP adoption, if the well(s) is/are installed at a screen interval depth shallower than minimum threshold levels or in areas with known degraded water quality conditions, as designated by the applicable GSA.
Public Outreach
Initial stakeholder outreach was conducted during the development of the Policy and the Subbasin single GSP. The Policy was discussed in open and public meetings of the various GSAs and at open and public meetings of the Coordination Committee. A draft of the Policy was posted to the Subbasin’s SGMA website (www.deltamendota.org) as both a separate item and as a part of the draft single GSP. The public was able to submit written comments on the Policy and the single GSP through the website.
This Policy was discussed during public meetings designed to secure input on both the Policy and the single GSP. Both verbal and written comments were accepted at the meetings. The comments received were summarized and published on the Subbasin website. Finally, comments on the Policy, as well as responses from the Subbasin Coordination Committee, were addressed in the adopted single GSP, which contains the Policy.
Discussion of the Policy status and implementation will be placed on the Subbasin Coordination Committee meeting agendas no less than quarterly during GSP implementation. Similarly, the Policy may be placed on each of the Subbasin GSAs’ governing bodies’ agendas at least semi-annually during the first year of single GSP implementation. The Policy will be available on the Subbasin SGMA website with relevant information such as electronic instructions for filing an application and a form to submit the 3738036v7 / 21603.0005 3
application electronically via the website. GSAs may place the Policy on their own websites or have a link on their websites that directs interested persons to the Subbasin SGMA website.
As part of the GSP’s Pumping Reduction Plan (PRP; see Chapter 16 of the GSP), the Subbasin Coordination Committee will review current or projected exceedances of the MT for groundwater levels and water quality reported by GSAs, at regularly scheduled Coordination Committee public meetings. In the event a groundwater level reading or a water quality sample for the GSP’s constituents of concern (COC) at a representative monitoring well (RMW) exceeds its respective MTs as a result of GSA actions and projects, GSAs may contact well users/owners within an up to three (3)-mile radius of the RMW to alert them of the MT exceedance and provide them with information and resources in the event their well is impacted. Each GSA has developed criteria, a notification method, and protocols to address such situations within its jurisdictional boundaries. However, typical templates for such notices are provided as attachments to this Policy. An up to three (3)-mile radius was selected because it is consistent with the average radius of coverage of each RMW in the Subbasin.
If the RMW is near the jurisdictional boundary between two or more GSAs, the GSA where the well is physically located will notify the adjacent GSA(s) of the potential impact to well owners located in that adjacent GSA’s jurisdictional area. The GSAs will cooperate according to the terms of the Adaptive Management Framework in the Subbasin Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on any costs associated with notification.
Any notification provided to well users/owners pursuant to the above will include information on this Policy and how and where to file a claim for mitigation. Other information that may be included and/or requested in the notification will be determined by the individual GSAs.
Plan Area
For a full description of the Subbasin Plan Area, please refer to GSP Chapter 5, which may also be found at www.deltamendota.org.
Well Completion Report (WCR) records compiled by DWR indicate an estimated 2,295 domestic wells, 81 public supply wells, and 514 other production wells are located in the Subbasin as of November 19, 2024. This DWR dataset is known to have limitations, but is accepted as a conservative estimate of the number of wells installed within the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) sections that fall within the Subbasin. Additionally, this Policy recognizes that it is likely that wells included in DWR’s WCR data set:
• May not currently be in use;
• Are inaccurately located; and/or
• Have inaccurate well construction and/or destruction information.
Given these assumptions and limitations, for the purposes of this Policy, the Coordination Committee conservatively estimates that there are 2,890 wells in the Subbasin as of November 19, 2024. From 2015 to the end of 2024, there have been only 37 known applications for replacement wells in the Subbasin. The reasons for those well replacement applications (e.g., dewatering from over-pumping, mechanical failure, etc.) are unknown.
Monitoring Network
There are 110 wells in the representative monitoring network for water levels for the Subbasin, which the GSAs use to monitor groundwater levels. Of those, 60 wells are in the upper aquifer and 50 wells are in the lower aquifer. There are 85 wells in the representative monitoring network for water quality for the Subbasin, which the GSAs use to monitor groundwater quality. Of those, 46 wells are in the upper aquifer and 39 wells are in the lower aquifer. Most rural domestic drinking water wells are assumed to be 3738036v7 / 21603.0005 4
in the upper aquifer, while most municipal and small water system supply wells are assumed to be in the lower aquifer. Agricultural wells are known to be in both the upper and lower aquifers, with some being “composite” wells (with screen intervals in both the upper and lower aquifers).
The distribution of domestic supply wells across the Subbasin and distribution of the Subbasin’s monitoring network wells provide a suitable framework for evaluating the potential for domestic supply wells to become dewatered due to lowering of groundwater levels or impacted by water quality degradation caused by GSAs’ actions and projects. As previously noted in the “Public Outreach” section of this Policy, the Coordination Committee reviews possible MT exceedances or trends in the representative monitoring network following the requirements of the PRP. This will help GSAs avoid potential dewatering of domestic wells or degrading their water quality beyond MTs within their boundaries as a result of GSA actions and projects.
Using a stochastic predictive modeling process to assess potential well impacts and current MT (2015 water levels) exceedances at 25% of representative monitoring wells, the Subbasin could potentially experience 28 total “production” wells dewatered. That leads to an estimated average of three drinking water wells per year across the Subbasin during implementation of the GSP through 2040. This estimation supports the approximate current number of replacement well permit applications identified in records from the counties in the Subbasin.
Well Mitigation Process – Water Levels
GSAs will conduct public education and outreach to notify landowners as to how and where to file an application for assistance, and the information that the GSA will require to evaluate the mitigation application. Copies of the application form will be included with education and outreach materials.
Upon receiving a completed application, the receiving GSA, or its representative, will conduct a preliminary review of the application to determine completeness. The applicant will be notified within twenty-four (24) hours, and the GSA will subsequently document such notification, if the application is complete or if there is any further information needed to evaluate the application. If deemed complete and appearing to meet all the requirements to receive assistance, the receiving GSA will provide a shortterm emergency water supply to domestic well users as soon as reasonably possible, and will make all reasonable efforts to do so within twenty-four (24) hours of submission of a complete application. Shortterm emergency water supplies shall consist of the delivery of bottled water and, after a site investigation, the delivery and installation of water tanks on a case-by-case basis at the GSA’s discretion; all reasonable efforts made to provide tanked water within seventy-two (72) hours. The GSAs also commit to working with Self Help Enterprises, Valley Water Collaborative, or similar entities, to assist with the feasibility of providing water tanks.
The short-term emergency water supply will be provided by the GSA at the location of the de-watered well. The GSA in which the well is located will be responsible for providing the short-term emergency water supply and the costs for the investigation. However, if it is determined that over-pumping is the result of another GSA, the GSAs will follow the Adaptive Management Framework process regarding cost sharing (Delta-Mendota Subbasin MOA, Article VII, Article X, Article XIII, and/or Exhibit “C”).
The GSA(s) may develop a professional well assessment report including, but not limited to: age of the well; well construction information (including pump depth, screening intervals, and pipe type [material]) and thickness; well maintenance information; indication of past well performance and any recent performance changes; any recent changes in well use or related land use; and, other additional information as necessary to determine if the failure is caused by declining water levels and/or GSA projects or groundwater management actions.
3738036v7 / 21603.0005 5
The GSA’s preliminary review of a well mitigation application will consist of all of the following:
• A review of well construction information,
• A review of well and pump maintenance records,
• A review of historic water level data for nearby representative monitoring network wells, • A review of nearby known production well information, • A review of nearby land use and any recent land use changes, and/or • An analysis of nearby conjunctive use activity (if known).
If the nearest representative monitoring network well does not represent water level data that can be used as evidence for consideration of the applicant’s claim, a GSA may review additional data from other wells in the monitoring network, or supplemental data from DWR and/or local agencies to support the preliminary review analysis.
If, after completion of the preliminary review, a GSA determines a well is eligible for mitigation, the GSA will measure water levels in the applicant’s well and in representative monitoring wells in the area, and will perform a field investigation. To be eligible for mitigation assistance, the applicant must consent to the field investigation/inspection and execute an appropriate release with the GSA. Failure to consent to the field investigation/inspection and/or execute an appropriate release voids the application for mitigation. The field investigation may include, but is not limited to:
• Removing a pump to measure intake depth, well bottom, and static water level, • Conducting a video log,
• Modifying the wellhead to measure static and pumping level, • Investigating the site for consolidation feasibility, and/or • Investigating nearby land and water use.
The field investigation may show the well as ineligible for mitigation. Such criteria indicating ineligibility include, but are not limited to:
• Pump failure,
• Clogged screens,
• Well pipe and/or casing failure or collapse which are unrelated to lowering groundwater levels or other potential GSA actions,
• Other maintenance-related well or pump issues which are unrelated to lowering of groundwater levels or other potential GSA actions, or
• Normal wear and tear based on the age of the well.
The GSA will notify the applicant if the well is ineligible for mitigation and subsequently document such notification. This finding will also be included in the Subbasin’s Annual Report.
If the applicant desires to appeal the results of the GSA’s investigation, the applicant may do so in writing to the Delta-Mendota Subbasin Coordination Committee. The Coordination Committee shall create an ad hoc committee of no more than three members to review the GSA’s written investigation, obtain additional data if necessary, and either (a) confirm the findings of the GSA, (b) provide guidance to the GSA and request further review by the GSA, or (c) propose to the Coordination Committee that it adopts its own findings. If the Coordination Committee chooses to adopt its own findings and recommendations, those shall be binding upon the GSA, to the extent allowed by the Memorandum of Agreement.
If, after the field investigation, a GSA determines a well is eligible for mitigation, the GSA will work with the well owner/landowner on a solution appropriate for the site (each, a “Mitigation Measure”). Such Mitigation Measures may include, but are not limited to, the following:
3738036v7 / 21603.0005 6
• Lowering the well pump or otherwise modifying pump equipment, • Deepening the well if the existing well has an open bottom, • Installing a new well,
• Assisting landowner with facilitating a connection to an existing municipal or community water system or other water supply, if feasible, or
• Other appropriate mitigation as may be agreed to by both parties.
If the applicant disagrees with the proposed Mitigation Measure(s), a technically qualified third party agreed to by the GSA and applicant may facilitate and recommend a mutually agreeable Mitigation Measure(s). The GSA has the right to identify which Mitigation Measure(s) is optimal on a case-by-case basis. The technically qualified third party’s role is to provide a recommendation. The appropriate GSA Board and/or Manager shall approve the application before any well mitigation (other than provision of emergency drinking water) begins.
The applicant must sign a Mitigation and Indemnification (MI) Agreement prior to the GSA commencing the Mitigation Measure. Terms of the MI Agreement will depend on the nature of the Mitigation Measure provided. New wells will be required to meet state and county well drilling standards and comply with Executive Order N-3-23. In order to be eligible for mitigation from a GSA, the MI agreement may stipulate minimum criteria in addition to state and county requirements for new wells as they apply to GSA review and the opinion granted under EO N-3-23. Criteria may include well construction materials, minimum depth beyond 2015 seasonal low groundwater level measurements, and/or screening interval levels, among other potential criteria.
At its discretion and in the event a new well is installed as mitigation for a failed well, the GSA may choose to convert the abandoned well into a monitoring well. Such provision(s) may be included in the MI Agreement and agreed to by both parties. In such a case, the MI Agreement shall grant access by the property owner to the GSA for the monitoring well for SGMA data gathering and compliance activities, and ownership of the abandoned and converted monitoring well will revert to the GSA. Terms and conditions for access to the monitoring well may be negotiated between the GSA and the well’s former owner.
If the well will be abandoned as part of a Mitigation Measure agreed to by the GSA and will not be converted to a monitoring well under SGMA, the cost for sealing/destroying the well shall be borne by the GSA as part of the Mitigation Measure.
Water Quality Mitigation
The Delta-Mendota Subbasin is known to have widespread degraded water quality due to naturally occurring conditions (i.e., geology). As such, in coordination with the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), the Delta-Mendota Subbasin GSAs have identified six COCs for consideration in the Basin’s GSP development and implementation: Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Nitrate, Gross Alpha, Chromium VI, Arsenic, and 1,2,3-Trichloropropane (TCP).
The GSAs have identified the following conditions under which domestic well mitigation for water quality and related actions will occur.
• Condition 1. If groundwater levels remain above the MTs, which are set at 2015 levels, then additional water quality mitigation beyond what is currently committed to in the GSA’s respective PRPs is not required, except pursuant to Condition 2. • Condition 2. If a GSA’s implementation of Projects or Management Actions (P/MAs) to achieve sustainability causes water quality degradation beyond the water quality MTs at a domestic well for Nitrate, Gross Alpha, Chromium VI, Arsenic, or 1,2,3-TCP (as determined based on the monitoring and management processes laid out in the applicable PRP and the Basin MOA), then 3738036v7 / 21603.0005 7
the GSAs will mitigate the impacted domestic well. Impacts from TDS will be addressed through the complementary CV-Salts program, as detailed in the Memorandum of Understanding with Valley Water Collaborative (VWC MOU).
• Condition 3. If groundwater levels decline below the MTs, which are set at 2015 levels, and this causes water quality degradation beyond the water quality MT at a domestic well for Gross Alpha, Chromium VI, Arsenic, or 1,2,3-TCP (as determined based on the monitoring and management processes laid out in the applicable PRP and Basin MOA), then the GSAs will mitigate the impacted domestic well. Impacts from Nitrate and TDS will be addressed through the complementary CV-Salts program, as detailed in the VWC MOU. • Condition 4. If groundwater levels remain above MTs, which are set at 2015 levels, the GSAs will continue to implement the PRPs which include monitoring, management and mitigation commitments, including evaluation of water level and water quality trends to proactively address and avoid water quality impacts to domestic wells from GSA P/MAs.
The application, review, and field investigation process for water quality mitigation shall follow the same procedures established in the Well Mitigation Policy for water levels, including submission requirements, field access and consent, investigation protocols, eligibility criteria, and documentation of findings. GSAs retain the authority to conduct technical investigations consistent with their jurisdictional responsibilities and to determine eligibility for water quality mitigation in accordance with this Policy.
Any short-term or emergency water supply associated with a water quality impact will be provided in accordance with the timelines and procedures outlined in the Well Mitigation Policy for Water Levels.
The right to appeal, the formation and function of an ad hoc committee by the Coordination Committee, and the process for binding decisions shall also apply to water quality mitigation determinations.
Pursuant to the PRPs and the Basin MOA, technical analysis regarding causality will be conducted on behalf of the GSA by a qualified technical professional using statistical and/or field verification and/or modeling approaches. Findings will be presented to the Coordination Committee (or designated subcommittee) for review and concurrence.
If the findings of the technical analysis determine that the water quality impacts in a domestic well were caused by GSA P/MAs, the applicable GSA will fund a total not to exceed cost of $2,500 per impacted domestic well for the installation of a point-of-use reverse osmosis system and up to three (3) years of filter replacements, or other mutually agreed alternative including but not limited to providing bottled water or connection to another existing water system, pursuant to the MI Agreement described above.
The applicant must sign a MI Agreement prior to the GSA commencing the Mitigation Measure. The current Well Mitigation Fund (which requires replenishment of any used funds) will also be used to support such water quality mitigation.
GSAs in the Delta-Mendota Subbasin desire to mitigate/compensate for legitimate impacts resulting from GSA management actions failing to maintain water levels at or above 2015 seasonal lows. As noted in the “Plan Area” section of this Policy, a total of only 37 replacement well applications were received by counties in the Subbasin since 2015. However, it is unknown how many of those wells, if any, were dewatered due to the groundwater levels falling below 2015 seasonal low levels, or how many of those are wells for domestic use.
Individual GSAs will fund the mitigation of wells within their boundaries upon determining whether Mitigation Measures pursuant to this Policy are appropriate and justified as detailed in the “Well Mitigation Process” section. In some cases, where historical wells are impacted, adjustments may be made for equipment depreciation. All costs to mitigate claimed impacts at a well site will be initially allocated to the applicable GSA where the well is located. 3738036v7 / 21603.0005 8
In the event of interbasin or intra-basin disagreements for determining responsibility for dewatering of a domestic well, Subbasin GSAs shall follow the Adaptive Management Framework processes as outlined in the executed MOA, including Article VII, Article X, Article XIII, and/or Exhibit C therein.
Though the stochastic predictive modeling indicates no more than three domestic wells in the Subbasin will be dewatered annually due to groundwater management activities, GSAs in the Subbasin will establish a common financial account sufficient to annually mitigate ten (10) domestic wells. A limit of ten (10) wells annually was selected because it reflects the undesirable result for lowering of groundwater levels in the GSP.
Not all GSAs in the Subbasin have domestic wells located within their jurisdictional areas. However, the seven GSA groups that are represented on the Delta-Mendota Subbasin Coordination Committee agree to equally fund a common account to a total of $300,000. 2 Costs to fund this reasonably prudent reserve
will be split based on Coordination Committee costs identified in the MOA and will be funded over three (3) years (i.e. $100,000 per year, until the fund reaches $300,000). Funds from the common financial account may be used only for approved Mitigation Measure costs. GSAs receiving funds will be required to repay the total amount withdrawn.
Subject to the provisions in the previous section (Well Mitigation Process), individual GSAs will be responsible for all other costs for implementing this Policy, including but not limited to: preliminary review, a professional well assessment report, a field investigation, and/or emergency water supply expenses. Specific escrow instructions for use of the common account will be developed.
Other Resources
If an application requires immediate action, qualifies only for partial mitigation, or receives no mitigation by a GSA, there are other programs that may assist well owners, especially for rural domestic/de minimus wells.
• Self Help Enterprises has a water sustainability program that includes tank water access, domestic well repair or replacement, and water system connections. Their services are free, based on income eligibility and other qualifications. They may be contacted at 1-559-802-1865 or visit their website at https://www.selfhelpenterprises.org/programs/emergency-services/watersustainability/. • California’s Office of Emergency Services recommends residents contact their County Office of Emergency Services to begin the process of seeking assistance with drinking water wells that go dry.
• The State Water Resources Control Board manages the Safe and Affordable Funding for Equity and Resilience (SAFER) Program. The SAFER Program provides assistance with interim drinking water supplies, emergency repairs, technical assistance, administrators, planning, operations and maintenance and construction projects via various funding sources. • Additionally, the GSAs in the Subbasin will commit to working with the existing coalitions and drainage authorities who provide support to domestic well owners whose wells are negatively impacted by water quality degradation.
Summary
This Well Mitigation Policy formalizes a process that landowners and GSAs in the Subbasin have voluntarily subscribed to, in some cases for over 100 years. GSA members do not want the wells of their 2 Recent (5/2/2024) cost estimates for domestic well replacement vary from a low of less than $15,000/well up to $30,000/well.
3738036v7 / 21603.0005 9
constituents, employees, neighbors, friends, and families to go dry or otherwise be impacted. That is why GSAs in the Subbasin are committed to keeping groundwater levels above 2015 historic low levels.
This Policy describes the process well owners can follow to apply for mitigation/assistance if their wells go dry or have water quality impacts due to projects or groundwater management actions of the GSAs under SGMA. It specifies the process GSAs across the Subbasin may follow if there are indications that a representative monitoring well is nearing MTs, and the process GSAs and well owners will follow in the event a drinking water well goes dry or has a water quality impact for specific COCs.
As previously noted, since 2015, only 37 replacement well applications were received across the Subbasin.
County records do not indicate whether wells were replaced due to groundwater levels falling or for other reasons. GSAs in the Subbasin are committed to eliminating the need for this Policy by maintaining groundwater levels above 2015 thresholds and managing the Subbasin’s groundwater sustainably.
Domestic well owners are encouraged to be aware of information on local groundwater conditions as provided by local GSAs and the State of California. In particular, DWR has a website dedicated to keeping domestic well owners informed about resources needed to maintain and protect domestic water supply. This includes information about well maintenance and other assistance via DWR’s “Be Well Prepared” website, which can be found at the following link: Be Well Prepared (ca.gov).
The Delta-Mendota Subbasin Coordination Committee shall review this Policy at least every five (5) years.
