ANALYSIS
Market Update
The valuation date for this assignment was over 11 months after the World Health Organization announced that the rapid spread of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) had become a worldwide health emergency.
Because of Coronavirus, a stay at home order was issued by the State for California on March 19, 2020.
All nonessential businesses were required to close, all sporting events were immediately cancelled, and schools began teaching remotely. In a matter of only 3 weeks, over 25 million Americans filed for unemployment as the stock market lost 3 years of gain. In California, over 3.2 million people had applied for unemployment in May 2020. As of the valuation date, California was gradually allowing businesses to reopen. However, the Governor also mandated the requirement that all residents must wear face masks in public due to a recent surge in COVID-19 cases.
Area, City and Neighborhood Data
Stanislaus County
The Subject property is located in the central portion
of the city of Modesto, California, within Stanislaus
County. It is part of the region commonly known as
“The Central Valley” because of its location in the
center of California. The Central Valley is comprised
of eight counties: San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Merced,
Madera, Fresno, Kings, Tulare and Kern.
Stanislaus County is located in the north region of the Central Valley approximately 77-miles south of
Sacramento, 87-miles east of San Francisco and 100-
miles west of Yosemite National Park. The primary
industry in Stanislaus County is agriculture along with agricultural-related industry. The production of
commodities such as almonds (the leading crop),
apricots, melons, tomatoes, wine grapes, peaches,
walnuts, dairy and poultry products generates even
more economic activity through their processing,
packaging, marketing, and retail.
Since 2000, the county’s population has continued to grow at an average annual rate of 0.9%, reaching a total of 557,709 as of January 2020. While population growth from 1990 to 2000 was higher, the increase in population was due largely to the workers from the Bay Area who moved to Modesto seeking lower home prices. Houses in this region typically sell for 40% to 50% less than similar homes located in the Bay Area.
Affordability has created a very large “commuter work force” throughout the Central Valley. This growth is expected to continue through the next 20 years due to the availability of land and affordable housing.
However, as gas prices will likely rise, costs associated with commuting will impact a buyer’s decision to move over an hour from the Bay Area’s employment centers. The FFIEC (Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council) estimated median family income for the Subject’s MSA was $69,300 in 2020.
Stanislaus County could be considered to be an agriculture county in transition. Prior to 1960, most of the county’s population lived on farms. Currently, the county’s incorporated population is nearly three times #17..

CHAPMAN & PATTON
that of the unincorporated area. Though the economic base remains predominantly agricultural, the County’s economy is shifting and population growth has increased pressure to alter agricultural lands to non-agricultural uses. The escalating population requires new jobs and housing to support it. As the population grows, this region will attempt to capture the interest of industries willing to take advantage of the skilled work force (now commuting to the Bay Area), and low land and construction costs. Growth in nonagricultural industries such as services and retail trades has begun to stabilize employment levels and is expected to provide most of the new employment opportunities.
Unemployment
As of December 2020, the unemployment rate in the County was 9.9%, which is nearly double the rate from this time last year (5.6%). This is compared to the State’s overall unemployment rate of 8.8%.
California’s unemployment rate spiked significantly in April 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While Stanislaus and California’s rates remained at over 15% for three months, rates began to slowly decline beginning in July when employees began returning to work.

The City of Modesto
In 1870, Modesto was a one-square-mile railroad town. As of 2019, the city covers nearly 45 square miles with a population of approximately 215,201. It is the largest city in Stanislaus County and the county seat.
Highway 99, one of California’s major north-south arterials, extends through Modesto’s west side, and bisects the downtown area.
Highway 132 is an east/west route that intersects with Highway 99 in the downtown area. Highway 132 is also referred to as Maze Boulevard west of Modesto and then Yosemite Boulevard as it extends through the city toward Waterford to the east. Highway 108 begins in the downtown area of Modesto and extends north toward Riverbank. Highway 108 is also referred to as McHenry Avenue.
Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, and Union Pacific Railroads serve Modesto with interstate and transcontinental service. Modesto City-County Airport offers services through Sky West. Three to five flights each day connect with San Francisco and Sacramento. Nonstop flights are also available to major hubs throughout the nation.

Subject Property Identification
Legal Description
A preliminary report prepared by Chicago Title Company and dated December 4, 2019 was provided for this assignment. The report included the following legal description for the Subject APN.
Note: The Subject includes only a portion of APN 106-034-001.
Property Data
Site Size, Shape and Topography
As identified by the client, the Subject parcel is an 11.99-acre portion of Stanislaus County APN 106-034- 001, which is located along the easterly side of South Morton Boulevard, south of Yosemite Avenue in Modesto, California. There is no situs address for the property. The remainder of this APN (strip of land along the Morton Boulevard frontage) will be retained by the City of Modesto for a bike trail (see client exhibit on the following page for identification of the Subject property).
The Subject parcel has an atypical, elongated shape that follows the contours of Dry Creek (also known as Beard Brook) along the easterly boundary. Except for the areas down-sloping from the street frontage, the Subject is generally level.
The Subject parcel has significant frontage along South Morton Boulevard and is accessed at the northerly end via two driveway points of access for the northerly parking lot. There is also one point of vehicular access at the southerly end. South Morton Boulevard is a two-lane public street. #17..

Current Use/Improvements
The Subject is currently a part of Beard Brook Park that includes various public park improvements such as two asphalt-paved parking lots, restrooms, playground equipment, and a sports field. Other site improvements include mature landscaping with lawn areas, trees and concrete pathways. Much of the park is surrounded by a 6’ tall chain link fence.
For purposes of this assignment, all park improvements will be ignored. The land is appraised as if vacant.
Recently, the park was used as a homeless encampment from late 2018 through March 2019, when the City of Modesto relocated the homeless to another nearby location in an effort to revitalize Beard Brook Park and open it back up for public use.
Utilities
The Subject’s neighborhood is served with natural gas from Pacific Gas and Electric Company and electric service from Modesto Irrigation District. Water and sewer services are provided by the City of Modesto, with garbage services provided by Gilton Solid Waste.
Hazardous Conditions
According to Geotracker.waterboards.ca.gov, there is no history of contamination on the Subject property or any of the adjacent parcels (reference is made to Extraordinary Assumption No. 1).
The Subject is not located in a Special Earthquake Studies Zone but is subject to ground shaking as are all properties in this region.
FEMA Flood Hazard Area
As illustrated on the flood insurance rate map on the following page, the Subject is entirely within a flood hazard zone. The westerly majority is within Flood Zone AE, with the easterly portion along Dry Creek being within the FLOODWAY Zone AE, which includes areas subject to inundation by the 1-percentannual-chance flood event determined by detailed methods. Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) are shown.
Mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements and floodplain management standards apply.
Denny Ferreira, Chief Building Official with Stanislaus County, explained that the FEMA designations for the Subject severely limit development potential for the property. The only buildable portion of the Subject is the area within Special Flood Hazard Area of Zone AE. Any development or improvement to the property would have to be built at 78 feet elevation; which is 1 foot higher than the base flood elevation of ~77 feet.
The County’s GIS system provides the topographic layer that can be found on the following page for the Subject. It shows that the Subject property is primarily between 60 - 70 feet in elevation, which is below the minimum elevation required for development, if vacant. Development could happen, but significant costs could be added due to elevating the structure above the required base elevation of 77 feet either on piers or an elevated building pad.
These characteristics present significant restrictions on the potential development of the site and will be further discussed in the determination of the highest and best use of the Subject. #17..

Easements
A preliminary report prepared by Chicago Title Company and dated December 4, 2019 was provided for this assignment and is included as Addendum B. The preliminary report did not identify any existing easements on the Subject. However, according to the client, there is an existing PG&E easement that crosses the northerly boundary. It contains 0.11 acre and is for utility purposes. Its location is shown below.
Additionally, this assignment assumes that the City will retain a 0.41-acre access easement (as shown below) across the southerly portion of the site, to allow for the City to access the portion of the adjacent property that they are acquiring from Gallo. Given the highest and best use conclusions, this access easement is not expected to have a negative impact on the value of the property.
It is assumed that no other easements exist that could negatively affect the property’s value or marketability other than those mentioned in this report.

Sales/Use History
The Subject property has been used as a public park owned and operated by the City of Modesto for many years. There are no recent sales or transfers of the property.
Assessed Value and Taxes (2020 - 2021)
Since the Subject property is owned by a public entity, no assessed value has been established and no taxes have been imposed.
Zoning & General Plan: City of Modesto
The Subject is under the jurisdiction of The City of Modesto Planning Department and zoned R-1 (Limited Residential), whereas the General Plan designation is for Open Space.
The zoning is consistent with the zoning designation and uses adjacent to the south. While a change in zoning is possible, it is unlikely.

Highest and Best Use - As Vacant
Highest and best use is defined as that use, from among reasonably probable and legal alternative uses, found to be physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and which results in highest land value. It may also be referred to as the most efficient and profitable permissible use.
Legal Permissibility Test — The Subject is zoned for low-density residential uses, which also allows for open space and some limited agricultural uses.
Physical Possibility Test — The physical nature of the Subject in terms of size and topography allows a wide variety of potential uses. However, the significant limiting factor is the proximity to Dry Creek and the Tuolumne River, and the FEMA Flood Hazard Floodway Zone AE designation. In short, development of the site would require extensive engineering and environmental considerations due to the flood zone. Access to the site is good.
Financial Feasibility Test — The neighborhood is primarily comprised of industrial, residential and open space uses. The financial feasibility of immediate development of the Subject takes into consideration the demand for various potential uses. Development of the site could be costprohibitive.
Looking at the site as if vacant, there are few economically viable uses for the Subject. While it could legally be used for crop farming, the practicality of that use is questionable due to its small size and location within an industrial and residential neighborhood. While open space is not an economically viable use, agricultural uses could generate some income, albeit marginal.

Highest and Best Use Conclusion
Since the Subject does not have access to irrigation water, agricultural uses are not likely viable.
Development with a single-family dwelling is possible, but would require the structure being elevated on piers. While the residential market is strong in Modesto, the development of a new, custom home surrounded by industrial uses does not seem practical. While recreational/open space uses are not typically considered economically viable uses, this represents the most likely use of the Subject property. #17..

VALUATION
Approaches to Value
In valuing real estate, three valuation methodologies are typically accepted in the appraisal process. These are the sales comparison approach, the income approach, and the cost approach. They are further described below.
Sales Comparison Approach
The sales comparison approach utilizes the principle of substitution, wherein recently sold comparable properties are found and analyzed for comparability to the subject property. The underlying assumption is that market support will be either similar to, or identical to any of a group of adjusted substitute properties; thus, the indicated value for the subject is based on a range of adjusted values for the “substitute” or “comparable” transactions.
Income Approach
Generally, the income approach converts income expectations into market value. The assumptions for the investment model can either be implicit in the model (direct capitalization, which converts a single year’s expected income into value using a ratio from the market), or explicit (yield capitalization, or DCF, which converts each year’s net income over a specified holding period).
Cost Approach
The cost approach identifies market supported improvements costs, subtracts a market supported amount assignable to accrued depreciation, adds land value, and derives a value based on the cost to reproduce the improvements. This “cost approach” presumes that a typical buyer would not pay more for an existing improved property (or a finished lot) than it would cost to reproduce the same improvements on a highly similar (substitute) site.
Value Methodology Used for the Subject Property
Of the three approaches to value, only the Sales Comparison Approach is utilized. The Sales Comparison Approach is applicable when a sufficient number of recent, reliable transactions create a perceptible value pattern in the market. For properties that are bought and sold regularly, the Sales Comparison Approach provides a good indication of market value, as it generally reflects the motivations of buyers and sellers.
The Cost Approach and Income Approach were not utilized because they do not reflect the motivations of typical buyers and sellers for this property type.
Sales Comparison Approach
The process of developing comparable sales included searching public record and published data sources for the most relevant sales of similar, competing properties in the Subject’s market area. Each sale was then verified by interviewing brokers, agents, buyers or sellers. The sales prices were adjusted as necessary for transactional elements such as financing, conditions of sale, post-sale expenditures, and market conditions. Finally, the sale properties were compared to the Subject for property characteristic differences. Primary elements of comparison are location, size, shape, access, and zoning.
Open space properties are not typically traded in the open market, given their limitations on development and lack of utility and/or marketability. While these types of properties do transact, the data is limited and geographically distant. After a thorough search of the local market, even sales of open space land in Stanislaus, Merced and San Joaquin Counties had other factors that impacted the value and appeal of the properties. The Subject is a unique property, given its location within the Modesto city limits, its proximity #17..

Beard Brook Park - City of Modesto Property

CHAPMAN & PATTON
to utilities, infrastructure and amenities, and its location along Dry Creek. These attributes are not easily captured in sales of open space land that lie far outside incorporated boundaries.
As such, the following analysis includes sales of both open space/recreational land, as well as agricultural land values, which is the most similar property type to open space. It should be remembered that each agricultural sale also could be developed with at least one single family dwelling, and inherently includes the value of one homesite. For this reason, the agricultural properties are considered superior to the Subject for development potential.
Comparable sales of similar vacant land parcels in Modesto and surrounding areas were researched and analyzed for this assignment. The selected sales are presented on the following comparable sales summary table and location map. Satellite images of each comparable sale can be found as Addendum C. The most appropriate units of comparison for this assignment is the price per acre. The following table summarizes the sales utilized in this assignment to appraise the Subject, as vacant. #17..

Sale A includes a 7.47-cre parcel of land along the southerly side of Calvine Road, just east of Jordan Ranch Road. The easterly and southerly boundary abuts Laguna Creek and the entire property is within Zone AE, which makes development of a residence cost-prohibitive. Although development exists to the north, east, south and west, the property is low-lying compared to the neighboring properties and is essentially unbuildable. The buyers intentions were to use the property for animals. It sold for $100,000, which is equivalent to $13,387 per acre.
Sale B includes a 14.32-acre parcel on the easterly side of Raley Boulevard, north of Santa Ana Avenue in northerly Sacramento. The property has a creek running through the westerly portion and is within Flood Zone AE. The property is also encumbered by transmission line easements. Although it has close proximity to utilities and other development, this parcel is considered unbuildable, due to wetlands. The property was listed on the open market, but interested buyers were dissuaded when finding out the property is not buildable. The Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency purchased the site for $219,000, which equates to $15,293 per acre and will use the property for a channel widening project. The sale is not considered to be influenced by the potential for eminent domain.
Sale 1 is located at 4019 South Central Avenue in Turlock, south of the Subject property. This 18.5-acre agricultural property that sold in December 2020 for $625,000, or $33,784 per acre. The property included two smaller, older single-family dwellings that were in below-average condition. They did have some contributory value, although no specific allocation was reported. There was an older ag well on the property, but its condition was questionable. Overall, this property is superior for its development potential (outside a flood hazard zone) and superior for improvements. The Subject’s value is expected to be lower than Sale
1. Sale 2 is located at 600 Tim Bell Road in the Waterford area. This 8.09-acre property sold in October 2020 for $275,000, which is equivalent to $33,993 per acre. This is a vacant agricultural property that is transitional in nature, with low-density residential zoning, similar to the Subject’s. It is in the same general size category as the Subject but is superior for its development potential and location outside of a flood hazard zone. Overall, this sale is considered superior to the Subject.
Sale 3 is located at 12701 Ehrlich Road in Turlock. It consists of a 39.45-acre agricultural property that sold in October 2020 for $830,000, or $21,039 per acre. The property was improved with a small dwelling that had minimal contributory value. Its soils were subpar for agricultural uses and it is within Flood Zone A. Its larger size is somewhat inferior to the Subject’s size. Overall, this sale is considered inferior and would indicate a higher unit value for the Subject property.
Sale 4 is located at 5137 S. Prairie Flower Road in Turlock, south of the Subject property. It includes an
11.44-acre property that sold in October 2020 for $350,000, or $30,594 per acre. It is zoned for agricultural uses. Its size is very similar to the Subject’s. However, this sale is superior for location and development potential to a residential homesite. Also, it includes an older domestic well and septic system.
Sale 5 is located at 12337 Simmons Road in Crows Landing. It sold in May 2020 for $800,000 ($39,960) and includes one parcel with 20.02 acres. The allocated price per acre for the raw land is $28,000 per acre, whereas the structural improvements were allocated the remainder of the sale price. The property is zoned for agricultural uses. This sale is inferior for its larger size, but superior for location and development potential.
Sale 6 is located at 1430 Linwood Avenue in Crows Landing and sold in March 2020 for $650,000. While the property is comprised of 20.06 acres, the allocated raw land value was $28,000 per acre, with the #17..

structural improvements having roughly $88,320 contributory value. It is zoned for agricultural uses. This sale is inferior for its larger size, but superior for location and development potential.
Sale 7 is located on Gomes Road and includes a 11.23-acre parcel that sold in September 2019 for $349,000.
The indicated price per acre is $31,077 for this agricultural property along the Dry Creek frontage. Its size is very similar to the Subject’s. A pad was built up on this site to be able to accommodate a homesite, given its Flood Zone designation. Ultimately, this sale is superior for location and development potential.
The open space (unbuildable) land sales indicated prices of $13,387 and $15,293 per acre. These sales closed in 2017 and 2018, but given the limited market activity for these types of properties, no time adjustment is warranted.
The remaining comparable sales range from $21,039 to $33,993 per acre (land) and all sold between 2019 and 2020. Market conditions for agricultural land in the area was generally stable during this time period and no time adjustment is warranted. Each of these sales is considered to be superior as compared to the Subject with regard to development potential (homesite).
The sales that are most similar to the Subject with regards to development potential are Sales A and B ($13,387 and $15,293 per acre, respectively). These sales are in the same general size category as the Subject and have very limited development potential. However, these sales do not capture the appeal the Subject has given its location within Modesto and adjacency to Dry Creek. These sales would indicate a higher unit value for the Subject property.
The remaining sales are each considered to be superior to the Subject property. This conclusion is due to the very unique characteristics that the Subject possesses, such as atypical shape, inclusion within a FEMA designated Flood Zone AE and Floodway. While it does have some limited potential for agricultural uses, as well as the legal allowance of a residence (if elevated), the physical characteristics of the property diminish the potential value.
Indicated Value using the Sales Comparison Approach
Taking into consideration the Subject’s location and accessibility, size and availability of utilities, and corresponding development challenges, a value of $20,000 per acre of land is estimated for the Subject site.
As such, the estimated value of the Subject property (land only) is $240,000, when rounded.
Summary of Value
Size Indicated Unit Value Total
11.99 acres $20,000/acre $239,800
Rounded $240,000
Exposure Time
The estimated exposure time for the Subject is 6 to 9 months. #17..

Modesto, CA 95353
Dear Mr. Daugherty,
Pursuant to our agreement, an appraisal has been made of the Fair Market Value of the unencumbered fee simple interest of a 12.13-acre portion of Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 035-016-010 and 035-018-009, which are owned by E&J Gallo Winery, as well as portions of 035-018-013 and 035-024-007, which are owned by Gallo Glass Company. For purposes of this assignment, it is assumed that the properties are all under the same Beneficial Control. The Subject property is located west of South Santa Cruz Avenue, south of Yosemite Avenue in Modesto, California. The property being appraised will be referred to as the Subject property in this report.
The purpose of the appraisal report is to provide Ryan Daugherty with the City of Modesto with a basis for determining the Fair Market Value of the unencumbered fee simple interest of the Subject as of a current valuation date. It is understood that the appraisal will be used by the City of Modesto to help establish a basis of value for a potential land swap with E&J Gallo Winery/Gallo Glass Company in connection with the Tuolumne Regional River Park District Riverwalk Project.
The accompanying report contains a brief description of the property to be appraised. A site visit was conducted on January 26, 2021 in the company of Nathan Houx, City of Modesto representative, as well as Andrew Layland and Tim Byrd, representatives of E&J Gallo Winery/Gallo Glass Company.
I have gathered pertinent information, sales and other data relevant to the valuation, and analyzed the data to reach my conclusions. In my opinion, the market value of the Subject property as of January 26, 2021 was $243,000.
This is an Appraisal Report that is performed in accordance with generally accepted reporting requirements for Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice 2-2(a). Please refer to the General Assumptions and Limiting Conditions, as well as the Extraordinary Assumptions and Hypothetical Conditions found in the Introduction section of this report.
Very truly yours,

Definitions
Appraisal Report - A written appraisal report prepared under Standards Rule 2-2(a) of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.
Easement - Nonpossessory (incorporeal) interest in landed property conveying use, but not ownership, of a portion of that property.1
Encumbrance - Any claim or liability that affects or limits the title to property. An encumbrance can affect the title such as a mortgage or other lien, or it can affect the physical condition of the property such as an easement. An encumbrance cannot prevent the transfer of possession, but it does remain after the transfer. 2 Extraordinary Assumption - An assignment-specific assumption as of the effective date regarding uncertain information used in an analysis which, if found to be false, could alter the appraiser’s opinions or conclusions.”3
Fee Simple - Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power and escheat.4 Highest And Best Use - The following explanation is taken directly from the 15th Edition of The Appraisal of Real Estate:
The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property that is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the highest value. The four criteria the highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical possibility, financial feasibility, and maximum productivity. Alternatively, the probable use of land or improved property – specific with respect to the user and timing of the use – that is adequately supported and results in the highest present value. 1 Source: The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, 5th Ed., published by the Appraisal Institute, 2010. 2 Source: The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, 5th Ed., published by the Appraisal Institute, 2010. 3 Source: 2020-2021 Edition of USPAP, Page 4

ANALYSIS
Market Update
The valuation date for this assignment was over 11 months after the World Health Organization announced that the rapid spread of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) had become a worldwide health emergency.
Because of Coronavirus, a stay at home order was issued by the State for California on March 19, 2020.
All nonessential businesses were required to close, all sporting events were immediately cancelled, and schools began teaching remotely. In a matter of only 3 weeks, over 25 million Americans filed for unemployment as the stock market lost 3 years of gain. In California, over 3.2 million people had applied for unemployment in May 2020. As of the valuation date, California was gradually allowing businesses to reopen. However, the Governor also mandated the requirement that all residents must wear face masks in public due to a recent surge in COVID-19 cases.
Area, City and Neighborhood Data
Stanislaus County
The Subject property near the central portion of the
city of Modesto, California, within Stanislaus County.
Although the Subject lies in an unincorporated area,
the City limits are located adjacent to the Subject on
the east and west boundaries. It is part of the region
commonly known as “The Central Valley” because of
its location in the center of California. The Central
Valley is comprised of eight counties: San Joaquin,
Stanislaus, Merced, Madera, Fresno, Kings, Tulare
and Kern.
Stanislaus County is located in the north region of the Central Valley approximately 77-miles south of
Sacramento, 87-miles east of San Francisco and 100-
miles west of Yosemite National Park. The primary
industry in Stanislaus County is agriculture along with agricultural-related industry. The production of
commodities such as almonds (the leading crop),
apricots, melons, tomatoes, wine grapes, peaches,
walnuts, dairy and poultry products generates even more economic activity through their processing, packaging, marketing, and retail.
Since 2000, the county’s population has continued to grow at an average annual rate of 0.9%, reaching a total of 557,709 as of January 2020. While population growth from 1990 to 2000 was higher, the increase in population was due largely to the workers from the Bay Area who moved to Modesto seeking lower home prices. Houses in this region typically sell for 40% to 50% less than similar homes located in the Bay Area.
Affordability has created a very large “commuter work force” throughout the Central Valley. This growth is expected to continue through the next 20 years due to the availability of land and affordable housing.
However, as gas prices will likely rise, costs associated with commuting will impact a buyer’s decision to move over an hour from the Bay Area’s employment centers. The FFIEC (Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council) estimated median family income for the Subject’s MSA was $69,300 in 2020. #17..

CHAPMAN & PATTON
Stanislaus County could be considered to be an agriculture county in transition. Prior to 1960, most of the county’s population lived on farms. Currently, the county’s incorporated population is nearly three times that of the unincorporated area. Though the economic base remains predominantly agricultural, the County’s economy is shifting and population growth has increased pressure to alter agricultural lands to non-agricultural uses. The escalating population requires new jobs and housing to support it. As the population grows, this region will attempt to capture the interest of industries willing to take advantage of the skilled work force (now commuting to the Bay Area), and low land and construction costs. Growth in nonagricultural industries such as services and retail trades has begun to stabilize employment levels and is expected to provide most of the new employment opportunities.
Unemployment
As of December 2020, the unemployment rate in the County was 9.9%, which is nearly double the rate from this time last year (5.6%). This is compared to the State’s overall unemployment rate of 8.8%.
California’s unemployment rate spiked significantly in April 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While Stanislaus and California’s rates remained at over 15% for three months, rates began to slowly decline beginning in July when employees began returning to work.

The City of Modesto
In 1870, Modesto was a one-square-mile railroad town. As of 2019, the city covers nearly 45 square miles with a population of approximately 215,201. It is the largest city in Stanislaus County and the county seat.
Highway 99, one of California’s major north-south arterials, extends through Modesto’s west side, and bisects the downtown area.
Highway 132 is an east/west route that intersects with Highway 99 in the downtown area. Highway 132 is also referred to as Maze Boulevard west of Modesto and then Yosemite Boulevard as it extends through the city toward Waterford to the east. Highway 108 begins in the downtown area of Modesto and extends north toward Riverbank. Highway 108 is also referred to as McHenry Avenue.
Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, and Union Pacific Railroads serve Modesto with interstate and transcontinental service. Modesto City-County Airport offers services through Sky West. Three to five flights each day connect with San Francisco and Sacramento. Nonstop flights are also available to major hubs throughout the nation.

Property Data
Site Size, Shape and Topography
The Subject includes portions of four APNs. It does not specifically have its own situs address. As identified by the client, the Subject parcel is a 12.13-acre portion of land within 4 separate APNs. The areas outlined by the client include the following (see client exhibit on the following page for identification of the Subject property):
APN Total Parcel Size Areas included in Subject Property 035-016-010 41.40 acres 2.99 acres
035-018-009 17.35 acres 8.78 acres
035-018-013 17.56 acres 0.25 acre
035-024-007 0.20 acre 0.11 acre
Total 12.13 acres
The 12.13-acre portion includes an elongated, atypically-shaped property along the Tuolumne River frontage. The property can be accessed from the easternmost edge, along South Santa Cruz Avenue.
Notably, there is a 20’ wide MID parcel that separates APNs 035-024-007 and 035-018-013. It is assumed that uninterrupted access to the Subject is provided across this parcel (refer to Extraordinary Assumption 4). The site includes some level areas, as well as undulating terrain and down-sloping areas nearest the river.
It is assumed for purposes of this assignment that a 0.64-acre portion of APN 035-016-010 (westerly parcel) will be encumbered with an easement that will be retained by the property owner for an access road between the Gallo facilities to the north and an existing lift pump near the river frontage.
Utilities
The Subject’s neighborhood is served with natural gas from Pacific Gas and Electric Company and electric service from Modesto Irrigation District. Water and sewer services are provided by the City of Modesto, with garbage services provided by Gilton Solid Waste.

Current Use/Improvements
The majority of the Subject is unimproved, unused open space along the Tuolumne River frontage. The only portions of the Subject that have been used recently include the areas within the two easterly parcels.
These portions were used for parking and outdoor equipment storage.
The Subject is physically separated from the remainder of the APNs owned by Gallo by a chain link fence with security razor wire along the northerly boundary. The fence prevents trespassing into the Gallo facilities. There are numerous mature eucalyptus trees planted near the northerly fence, and the rest of the Subject includes numerous mature native trees and shrubs along the river frontage.
Hazardous Conditions
According to Geotracker.waterboards.ca.gov, there is no history of contamination on the Subject property or any of the adjacent parcels (reference is made to Extraordinary Assumption No. 1).
The Subject is not located in a Special Earthquake Studies Zone but is subject to ground shaking as are all properties in this region.
FEMA Flood Hazard Area
As illustrated on the flood insurance rate map on the following page, the Subject is entirely within a flood hazard zone. The large majority of the parcel is within the FLOODWAY Zone AE, which includes areas subject to inundation by the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event determined by detailed methods. Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) are shown. Mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements and floodplain management standards apply.

Denny Ferreira, Chief Building Official with Stanislaus County, explained that the FEMA designations for the Subject severely limit development potential for the property. The only buildable portion of the Subject is the area within Special Flood Hazard Area of Zone AE, which includes the access road portion near South Santa Cruz Avenue.
The rest of the Subject is within the FLOODWAY Zone AE. Any improvement to the property (including buildings, fences, storage of personal belongings, grading, etc.) would require a No-rise Certification from FEMA. This area is considered to be within the banks of the Tuolumne River. According to FEMA, “Any project within a floodway must be reviewed to determine if the project will increase flood heights. An engineering analysis must be conducted before a permit can be issued…” These characteristics cause significant restrictions that impact potential development of the site. This topic will be further discussed in the determination of the highest and best use of the Subject.
FIRM Map
Easements
Two preliminary reports were provided for this assignment and can be found as Addendum B and C.
However, these reports cover lands outside of the Subject boundaries, so any identified easements may not apply to the Subject. It is assumed that no other easements exist that could negatively affect the property’s value or marketability other than those mentioned in this report.

This assignment assumes that the property owner (Gallo) will retain a 0.64-acre access easement (as shown below) across the westerly portion of the site, to allow continued access from the winery facility to the north, and an existing well/lift pump facility near the river bank.
Sales/Use History
The Subject property has been owned by Gallo for decades. There are no recent sales or transfers of the property.
Assessed Value and Taxes (2020 - 2021)
Since the Subject property is part of 4 APNs, its assessed values and taxes have not been identified separately. If the Subject were ever to be sold off from the remaining portions of the APNs, the property would be reassessed per Proposition 13.
Zoning & General Plan: City of Modesto
The Subject is under the jurisdiction of the Stanislaus County Planning Department. Three of the four parcels are zoned Industrial, whereas the small parcel along South Santa Cruz Avenue is zoned PD-87. The Stanislaus County General Plan designation (M-Industrial) is consistent with the zoning. While a change in zoning is possible, it is unlikely.
The Subject is within the city of Modesto’s Sphere of Influence, which designates the Subject for Open Space uses. If the property were ever to be annexed into the Modesto City limits, a rezone to uses compatible with the underlying general plan designation of Open Space would be reasonable. #17..

Highest and Best Use - As Vacant
Highest and best use is defined as that use, from among reasonably probable and legal alternative uses, found to be physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and which results in highest land value. It may also be referred to as the most efficient and profitable permissible use.
Legal Permissibility Test — The Subject is zoned for industrial uses, which allows a wide variety of manufacturing, warehousing and office uses. Open space and some limited agricultural uses are also allowable.
Physical Possibility Test — The physical nature of the Subject in terms of topography and inclusion in the FLOODWAY Zone AE is the significant limiting factor for development. Only a very small portion of the Subject is buildable, and even that area would require extensive engineering and environmental considerations due to the flood zone. Access to the site is limited to the narrow strip of land extending from South Santa Cruz Avenue.
Financial Feasibility Test — Open space and recreational uses are the most likely use of the Subject, given its proximity to the Tuolumne River.
Highest and Best Use Conclusion
While recreational/open space uses are not typically considered economically viable uses, this represents the most likely use of the Subject property.

VALUATION
Approaches to Value
In valuing real estate, three valuation methodologies are typically accepted in the appraisal process. These are the sales comparison approach, the income approach, and the cost approach. They are further described below.
Sales Comparison Approach
The sales comparison approach utilizes the principle of substitution, wherein recently sold comparable properties are found and analyzed for comparability to the subject property. The underlying assumption is that market support will be either similar to, or identical to any of a group of adjusted substitute properties; thus, the indicated value for the subject is based on a range of adjusted values for the “substitute” or “comparable” transactions.
Income Approach
Generally, the income approach converts income expectations into market value. The assumptions for the investment model can either be implicit in the model (direct capitalization, which converts a single year’s expected income into value using a ratio from the market), or explicit (yield capitalization, or DCF, which converts each year’s net income over a specified holding period).
Cost Approach
The cost approach identifies market supported improvements costs, subtracts a market supported amount assignable to accrued depreciation, adds land value, and derives a value based on the cost to reproduce the improvements. This “cost approach” presumes that a typical buyer would not pay more for an existing improved property (or a finished lot) than it would cost to reproduce the same improvements on a highly similar (substitute) site.
Value Methodology Used for the Subject Property
Of the three approaches to value, only the Sales Comparison Approach is utilized. The Sales Comparison Approach is applicable when a sufficient number of recent, reliable transactions create a perceptible value pattern in the market. For properties that are bought and sold regularly, the Sales Comparison Approach provides a good indication of market value, as it generally reflects the motivations of buyers and sellers.
The Cost Approach and Income Approach were not utilized because they do not reflect the motivations of typical buyers and sellers for this property type.
Sales Comparison Approach
The process of developing comparable sales included searching public record and published data sources for the most relevant sales of similar, competing properties in the Subject’s market area. Each sale was then verified by interviewing brokers, agents, buyers or sellers. The sales prices were adjusted as necessary for transactional elements such as financing, conditions of sale, post-sale expenditures, and market conditions. Finally, the sale properties were compared to the Subject for property characteristic differences. Primary elements of comparison are location, size, shape, access, and zoning.
Open space properties are not typically traded in the open market, given their limitations on development and lack of utility and/or marketability. While these types of properties do transact, the data is limited and geographically distant. After a thorough search of the local market, even sales of open space land in Stanislaus, Merced and San Joaquin Counties had other factors that impacted the value and appeal of the properties. The Subject is a unique property, given its location surrounded by the Modesto city limits, its #17..

CHAPMAN & PATTON
proximity to utilities, infrastructure and amenities, and its location along the Tuolumne River. These attributes are not easily captured in sales of open space land that lie far outside incorporated boundaries.
As such, the following analysis includes sales of both open space/recreational land, as well as agricultural land values, which is the most similar property type to open space. It should be remembered that each agricultural sale also could be developed with at least one single family dwelling, and inherently includes the value of one homesite. For this reason, the agricultural properties are considered superior to the Subject for development potential.
Comparable sales of similar vacant land parcels in Modesto and surrounding areas were researched and analyzed for this assignment. The selected sales are presented on the following comparable sales summary table and location map. Satellite images of each comparable sale can be found as Addendum C. The most appropriate units of comparison for this assignment is the price per acre. The following table summarizes the sales utilized in this assignment to appraise the Subject, as vacant. #17..

Summary of Sales Comparison Approach
Sale A includes a 7.47-acre parcel of land along the southerly side of Calvine Road, just east of Jordan Ranch Road. The easterly and southerly boundary abuts Laguna Creek and the entire property is within Zone AE, which makes development of a residence cost-prohibitive. Although development exists to the north, east, south and west, the property is low-lying compared to the neighboring properties and is essentially unbuildable. The buyer’s intentions were to use the property for animals. It sold for $100,000, which is equivalent to $13,387 per acre.
Sale B includes a 14.32-acre parcel on the easterly side of Raley Boulevard, north of Santa Ana Avenue in northerly Sacramento. The property has a creek running through the westerly portion and is within Flood Zone AE. The property is also encumbered by transmission line easements. Although it has close proximity to utilities and other development, this parcel is considered unbuildable, due to wetlands. The property was listed on the open market, but interested buyers were dissuaded when finding out the property is not buildable. The Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency purchased the site for $219,000, which equates to $15,293 per acre and will use the property for a channel widening project. The sale is not considered to be influenced by the potential for eminent domain.
Summary of Sales Comparison Approach
Sale 1 is located at 4019 South Central Avenue in Turlock, south of the Subject property. This 18.5-acre agricultural property that sold in December 2020 for $625,000, or $33,784 per acre. The property included two smaller, older single-family dwellings that were in below-average condition. They did have some contributory value, although no specific allocation was reported. There was an older ag well on the property, but its condition was questionable. Overall, this property is superior for its development potential (outside a flood hazard zone) and superior for improvements. The Subject’s value is expected to be lower than Sale
1. Sale 2 is located at 600 Tim Bell Road in the Waterford area. This 8.09-acre property sold in October 2020 for $275,000, which is equivalent to $33,993 per acre. This is a vacant agricultural property that is transitional in nature, with low-density residential zoning, similar to the Subject’s. It is in the same general size category as the Subject but is superior for its development potential and location outside of a flood hazard zone. Overall, this sale is considered superior to the Subject.
Sale 3 is located at 12701 Ehrlich Road in Turlock. It consists of a 39.45-acre agricultural property that sold in October 2020 for $830,000, or $21,039 per acre. The property was improved with a small dwelling that had minimal contributory value. Its soils were subpar for agricultural uses and it is within Flood Zone A. Its larger size is somewhat inferior to the Subject’s size. Overall, this sale is considered inferior and would indicate a higher unit value for the Subject property.
Sale 4 is located at 5137 S. Prairie Flower Road in Turlock, south of the Subject property. It includes an
11.44-acre property that sold in October 2020 for $350,000, or $30,594 per acre. It is zoned for agricultural uses. Its size is very similar to the Subject’s. However, this sale is superior for location and development potential to a residential homesite. Also, it includes an older domestic well and septic system.
Sale 5 is located at 12337 Simmons Road in Crows Landing. It sold in May 2020 for $800,000 ($39,960 per acre) and includes one parcel with 20.02 acres. The allocated price per acre for the raw land is $28,000 per acre, whereas the structural improvements were allocated the remainder of the sale price. The property is zoned for agricultural uses. This sale is inferior for its larger size, but superior for location and development potential.
Sale 6 is located at 1430 Linwood Avenue in Crows Landing and sold in March 2020 for $650,000. While the property is comprised of 20.06 acres, the allocated raw land value was $28,000 per acre, with the #17..

structural improvements having roughly $88,320 contributory value. It is zoned for agricultural uses. This sale is inferior for its larger size, but superior for location and development potential.
Sale 7 is located on Gomes Road and includes a 11.23-acre parcel that sold in September 2019 for $349,000.
The indicated price per acre is $31,077 for this agricultural property along the Dry Creek frontage. Its size is very similar to the Subject’s. However, this sale is superior for location and development potential.
The open space (unbuildable) land sales indicated prices of $13,387 and $15,293 per acre. These sales closed in 2017 and 2018, but given the limited market activity for these types of properties, no time adjustment is warranted.
The remaining comparable sales range from $21,039 to $33,993 per acre (land) and all sold between 2019 and 2020. Market conditions for agricultural land in the area was generally stable during this time period and no time adjustment is warranted. Each of these sales is considered to be superior as compared to the Subject with regard to development potential (homesite).
The sales that are most similar to the Subject with regards to development potential are Sales A and B ($13,387 and $15,293 per acre, respectively). These sales are in the same general size category as the Subject and have very limited development potential. However, these sales do not capture the appeal the Subject has given its location within Modesto and adjacency to the Tuolumne River. These sales would indicate a higher unit value for the Subject property.
The remaining sales are each considered to be superior to the Subject property. This conclusion is due to the very unique characteristics that the Subject possesses, such as atypical shape, inclusion within a FEMA designated Flood Zone AE and Floodway. While it does have some limited potential for agricultural uses, the physical characteristics of the property diminish the potential value.
As previously discussed, the most likely use of the Subject is open space. Some recreational uses could also be allowed, but permits would be required for any commercial (recreational) uses that utilize the river, such as rafting, fishing or guided tours. The economic viability of these uses is speculative and cannot be easily quantified.
Indicated Value using the Sales Comparison Approach
Taking into consideration the Subject’s location and accessibility, size and availability of utilities, and corresponding development challenges, a value of $20,000 per acre is estimated for the Subject site.
As such, the estimated value of the Subject property (land only) is $243,000, when rounded.
Summary of Value
Size Indicated Unit Value Total
12.13 acres $20,000/acre $242,600
Rounded $243,000
Exposure Time
The estimated exposure time for the Subject is 6 to 9 months. #17..

Consider approving the Plans and Specifications for the Sutter Neighborhood Strengthen & Replace Water Mains Project; accepting the Bid and Awarding a Construction Contract to West Valley Construction Inc., of San Jose, CA, for a total amount not to exceed $2,149,680 and approving a First Amendment increasing the Agreement amount with Black Water Consulting Engineers, Inc., Modesto, CA, for Engineering Design Services by $72,696 from $126,430, plus $12,643 in Additional Services (if needed) to a new total amount of $211,769. (Funding Source:
Water Fund)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the 2020-2025 City of Modesto Strategic Plan Initiatives, Goal D: Provide safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance, and sustainability efforts.
BACKGROUND:
The Sutter Neighborhood Strengthen and Replace (S&R) Water Mains Project is located within Stanislaus County’s West Modesto Sewer Improvement Project. The project is located in a County pocket area bounded by Sutter Avenue in the West, South Avenue in the North, Sunset Avenue in the East, and Garden and Rose Lawn Avenues in the South.
This area has deficient water mains that are undersized, lack pressure and are prone to leaks.
The Sutter Neighborhood S&R Water Mains Project will replace and upgrade water mains, associated water valves, services and fire hydrants to increase service reliability, flows, and pressures. The City has partnered with Stanislaus County to coordinate the Sutter Neighborhood S&R Water Mains Project with their upcoming West Modesto Sewer Improvement Project.

City Council, January 24, 2023
Award Sutter Neighborhood Strengthen & Replace Water Mains Project
On July 14, 2020, by Resolution No. 2020-315, Council approved an agreement with Black Water Consulting Engineers, Inc. (Black Water) for Engineering Design Services for the Sutter Neighborhood Strengthen & Replace Water Mains Project in the amount of $126,430 for the identified scope of services, plus $12,643 for additional services (if needed) for a total amount not to exceed $139,073.
DISCUSSION:
The project was advertised for bids on September 28, 2022. Bids were publicly opened on October 25, 2022, pursuant to City Charter Section 1307, and West Valley Construction Inc., San Jose, CA, was the responsible bidder with the lowest responsive bid. The bid tabulation is attached.
The bid analysis is:
Number of bids received 4
Number of bids within 10% of engineer’s estimate 3
Number of bids above the engineer’s estimate 0
Number of bids below the engineer’s estimate 4
Percent low bid is below the engineer’s estimate 9.21%
West Valley Construction Inc., of San Jose, CA, was 9.21% below the engineer’s estimate. All bids received were below the engineer’s estimate, the next lowest bid was 7.68% below the engineer’s estimate. The highest bid was 0.74% below the engineer’s estimate. Bidder competition and participation were evident as the City received four bids.
Modesto Municipal Code Section 8-3.203 generally requires all purchases, which meet or exceed $50,000 for material, equipment or contractual services to follow the formal bid procedures. The award of contract for the construction of the Sutter Neighborhood Strengthen & Replace Water Mains Project to West Valley Construction Inc., San Jose, CA, conforms to the Modesto Municipal Code because the City complied with the formal bid procedures and West Valley Construction Inc., San Jose, CA was the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
Therefore, staff recommends awarding the contract to West Valley Construction Inc., of San Jose, CA.
The City’s “Change Order Approval Policy” enacted by Council Resolution No. 1994-443 on July 19, 1994, and revised on July 9, 2019 by Council Resolution No. 2019-326, established a contract change order authority of 8% for construction contracts of this dollar value. However, after reviewing the plans and specifications, and given the nature of rehabilitation projects where unforeseen utilities or buried structures, and other unaccounted for issues may arise, it is likely that this project could exceed the Director’s Authority of 8% ($171,974) of the contract amount of $2,149,680. Therefore, City staff is requesting an increase in the Director’s Authority for the Construction Contingency to 10% ($214,968) of the construction contract price of $2,149,680 with West Valley Construction Inc., of San Jose, CA.
While the contingency policy is utilized for each construction contract awarded by the City, it is not written into each contract, nor is it a guaranteed amount included in the final compensation to the contractor. Prior to bidding a project, staff works diligently to ensure that all projects and bid packages contain well-defined scopes of work and that all projects stay within budget. #18..

City Council, January 24, 2023
Award Sutter Neighborhood Strengthen & Replace Water Mains Project
To ensure construction of the facilities meets the original design described in the plans, staff is recommending a first amendment in the amount of $72,696 to Black Water’s current Engineering Design Services Agreement to allow them to continue their effort through construction. Black Water being the Engineer-of-Record will be responsible for the following:
Review Construction Submittals
Respond to Requests for Information

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This project was presented to the Economic Development Committee on April 4, 2022, as a report on upcoming Capital Improvement construction projects where it was recommended that it be forwarded to Council for future award of construction. As stated in that Committee report, as bids are received, staff will present projects directly to Council for award of construction.

Consider accepting the Crows Landing Road Pavement Rehabilitation, STPLCML-5059(208) project as complete, authorizing all necessary steps to file with the County Recorder, release securities, and release payments totaling $2,308,516 to United Pavement Maintenance, Inc. of Hughson, CA. (Funding Source: Federal RSTP, CMAQ, and Streets Capital Facility Fees) STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the City’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan Initiatives: Provide safe, efficient and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance and sustainability efforts.
BACKGROUND:
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) authorized funding for Preliminary Engineering in December 2014 in the amount of $250,000. In August 2019, Caltrans authorized $2,101,983 in Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) funds and $701,725 in Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) funds for construction and construction engineering.
The Crows Landing Road Pavement Rehabilitation, STPLCML-5059(208) project, rehabilitated deteriorated pavement with an asphalt rubber chip seal and asphalt overlay on Crows Landing Road from Pecos Avenue to Hatch Road; also, within the scope of this project was center median, ADA improvements, sidewalk installation, and Class II bicycle lanes.
DISCUSSION:
The project was advertised for bids on May 10, 2021. Bids were publicly opened on June 8, 2021, pursuant to Modesto Municipal Code Section 8-3.403 and City Charter Section 1307. A total of 4 bids were received, however, the first apparent low bidder was deemed non-responsive, #19..

and their bid was excluded from the bid results. United Pavement Maintenance, Inc. of Hughson, CA was the next, apparent, responsive low bidder at 8.34% below the engineer’s estimate.
On August 10, 2021, by Resolution No. 2021-310, Council awarded a contract to United Pavement Maintenance, Inc. for the construction of the Crows Landing Road Pavement Rehabilitation, STPLCML-5059(208) project in the amount of $2,291,624. The contractor received the Notice to Proceed with a first working day of October 4, 2021. All contract work was completed by July 28, 2022.
By accepting this project as complete, the City officially accepts the improvements made and authorizes the Notice of Completion to be filed. The City Clerk is authorized to complete all necessary steps to file the appropriate notices and documents with the County Recorder, release securities, and authorize payments totaling $2,308,516. The work is covered by a one-year warranty for any issues that may arise.
Staff recommends the project for acceptance as the contractor has complied with all contract requirements for the project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total project costs were $2,792,457 which included design, construction, and construction administration costs. The total project amount originally budgeted was $3,083,708 which included $2,520,786 for the construction contract and contingency with United Pavement Maintenance, Inc., of Hughson, CA.

However, City staff requested authorization to increase the contract change order budget to 10% due to increased costs for asphalt and concrete material suppliers. On August 10, 2021, by Resolution No. 2021-311, Council authorized the Director of Utilities approval of change orders up to 10% of the original contract price for Crows Landing Road Pavement Rehabilitation, STPLCML-5059(208) project. Therefore, the approved contingency amount for the project was $229,162.
The project had a total of six change orders resulting in an overall increase of $16,892. The change orders were executed for additional work and field adjustments listed on the attached change order log. A summary of the expenditures for the overall project is listed below:

CITY OF MODESTO
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:
January 24, 2023
Date: January 4, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: William Wong, Director of Utilities
SUBJECT: Accept Fleet Maintenance Facility Heavy Bay Addition and Bus Maintenance Facility – Parts Storage Room Project as Complete
CONTACT: Pete Kambel, Senior Civil Engineer, 209-577-5444 DESCRIPTION:
Consider accepting the Fleet Maintenance Facility Heavy Bay Addition and Bus Maintenance Facility – Parts Storage Room project as complete, authorizing all necessary steps to file with the County Recorder, releasing securities, and releasing payments totaling $5,634,840 to Harris Builders, Inc., of Hilmar, CA. (Funding Source: Fleet Fund 5400, Capital Grants – CIP Projects 3140)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the 2020-2025 City of Modesto Strategic Plan Initiatives, Goal D: Provide safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance, and sustainability efforts.
BACKGROUND:
The Fleet Services Division maintains all City owned vehicles and equipment. There are currently 1,220 pieces of active equipment in the City’s fleet. This equipment is used by all City departments in their daily operations as they provide service to the citizens of Modesto. Prior to the project the current fleet facility was extremely outdated, overcrowded and was inadequate in several areas to properly service all of the vehicles and equipment.
The current building did not allow lifting of the nearly 200 heavy duty vehicles and pieces of equipment for performing under vehicle maintenance work. The ceiling height was too low for large trucks and equipment to be lifted. When the current facility was constructed in 1966, the City’s fleet was much smaller, and the amount of heavy equipment was fewer than 100 units.
Previously, staff had to lie on their backs to perform under vehicle repair and maintenance functions. Lying on the

ground causes performing routine servicing, such as oil changes, to be much more challenging and time consuming, delaying equipment from returning to City service.
The construction of a new Fleet Maintenance Facility (FMF) Heavy Bay provides future capacity and operational efficiencies for years to come. Additionally, the safety of staff members and customers is at the forefront throughout the City. This state-of-the-art facility will reduce potential work-related risk associated with repairs and maintenance.
Fleet services will be more efficient having all shops under one roof. Labor resources will be shared more easily amongst all the repair jobs, which were previously spread among three different shops. Parts will be centralized and more secure. Operating in a shop with adequate vehicle lifting capabilities and the proper number of bays to handle the workload increases shop efficiency and safety.
The construction of the Parts Storage Room building is crucial in the safety and efficiency of the Transit maintenance services. The City of Modesto services 133 fixed routes buses and paratransit vans. Previously, the Bus Maintenance Facility (BMF) did not allow sufficient storage capacity for the parts needed for the transit vehicles of vehicles. The original facility was constructed in 2012, and the parts room was not built with sufficient space to accommodate the parts.
In addition to the increased storage capacity that this building will provide, it will also serve as a connecting structure between the existing BMF and the new Heavy Bay Shop.
The BMF Parts Storage Room project was advertised for bids on April 9, 2019. Subsequently, bids were publicly opened on May 21, 2019, pursuant to City Charter Section 1307, and one bid was received, which was more than twice the engineer’s estimate. Therefore, on June 25, 2019, by Resolution 2019-287, Council approved rejecting the bid for the BMF Parts Storage Room project and authorized staff to re-advertise the project for bid at a future date with an amended scope of work.
Considering the FMF Heavy Bay project and BMF Parts Storage Room project are located within the same overall facility, City staff combined these projects and bid as a single project. Due to the various funding sources, the project involved two separate contracts for each respective facility (Fleet & Transit).
The combined project was advertised for bids on September 24, 2019. Bids were publicly opened on October 29, 2019, pursuant to City Charter Section 1307, and Harris Builders, Inc., of Hilmar, CA was the responsible bidder at 12.42% above the engineer’s estimate.
On March 10, 2020, by Resolution No. 2020-133 and 2020-134, Council awarded a contract to Harris Builders, Inc. for the construction of the FMF Heavy Bay Addition and BMF Parts Storage Room project in the amount of $5,365,992. By Resolution No. 2020-135 and 2020-136 Construction Management agreements were awarded to Consolidated CM, Inc., (CCM) for Construction Management, Special Inspection, and Materials Testing Services for an amount not to exceed $563,024 ($420,309 for the FMF Heavy Bay Addition and $142,715 for the BMF Parts Storage Room).

CITY OF MODESTO
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:
January 24, 2023
Date: January 9, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Jessica Hill, Acting Director of Community and Economic Development SUBJECT: Adoption of 2022 Edition of the California Building Code CONTACT: Oscar Diaz, Chief Building Official, [email protected], 209-571-5885 DESCRIPTION:
Public Hearing to consider adoption of Ordinances 3754-C.S., 3755-C.S., 3756-C.S., 3757-C.S., & 3758-C.S. adopting Building, Plumbing, Electrical, and Mechanical Ordinances by reference of the 2022 California Building Codes and amending various sections of Chapters 1, 2, 3, 7, and 11 of Title 9 of the Modesto Municipal Code. (Funding Source: General Fund/Building Permit Fees)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the City’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan Goal A: Improve Community Safety, with prevention efforts that address safety and its underlying issues.
BACKGROUND:
The California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) is the responsible state body for all building code development. Every three (3) years, the CBSC conducts code development hearings to gain input from developers, building officials, local and state government leaders and other interested parties to review the Building Code Standards for the State of California.
These standards outline the minimum building requirements for the State of California and are automatically required by all local jurisdictions.
DISCUSSION:
It is mandatory that each jurisdiction within the State of California implement these codes. To effectively accomplish this, each jurisdiction must adopt rules and requirements for administering these codes. Title 9 of the Modesto Municipal Code contains these administrative requirements. However, these requirements will need to be modified to accommodate the new editions of the California Building, Residential, Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical codes and the Existing Buildings Code. Any technical amendments of these codes by the City must be as stringent as the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC); however, local jurisdictions can adopt more restrictive amendments, if necessary, to account for local climatic, geographical, or topographical conditions. If this occurs, findings are to be made prior to local #21..

City Council, January 24, 2023
Adoption of 2022 Edition of the California Building Code
adoptions and submitted to the CBSC. However, no technical amendments to these codes are proposed; therefore, no findings are required. The attached proposed changes are administrative only and will address the needed requirements. All building permits submitted after January 1, 2023 must comply with the new building codes.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The implementation of this Code requires additional training for existing staff. Funding is budgeted in the FY 22/23 Building Safety Division budget. We do not anticipate any other funding requirements to implement this Code.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This project was presented to Safety and Communities Committee on October 10, 2022, and was recommended to forward to Council for approval.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff Recommendations:
Motion adopting Ordinance 3754-C.S. amending Articles 1, 2, and 16 of Chapter 1 of Title 9 of the Modesto Municipal Code relating to building regulations to adopt by reference, California Code of Regulations, Title 24 Part 2, Volumes 1 & 2.
Motion adopting Ordinance 3755-C.S. amending Chapter 3, Electrical Code of Title 9 of the Modesto Municipal Code relating to building regulations to adopt by reference, California Code of Regulations, Title 24 Part 3 “Electrical Code”.
Motion adopting Ordinance 3756-C.S. adopting by reference, the Existing Building Code contained within the 2022 California Building Standards Code and amending Articles 1 and 2 of Chapter 11 of Title 9 of the Modesto Municipal Code.
Motion adopting Ordinance 3757-C.S. amending Chapter 7, “Mechanical Code” of Title 9 of the Modesto Municipal Code relating to building regulations to adopt by reference, California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 4 “Mechanical Code”.
Motion adopting Ordinance 3758-C.S. adopting by reference the Plumbing Code contained within the 2022 California Building Standards Code and amending Articles 1 and 2 of Chapter 2 of Title 9 of the Modesto Municipal Code.

CITY OF MODESTO
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:
January 24, 2023
Date: December 6, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: William Wong, Director of Utilities
SUBJECT: Acceptance of the 2022 Public Health Goals Report CONTACT: William Wong, Director of Utilities, [email protected], 209-571-5801 DESCRIPTION:
Hearing to consider accepting the Public Health Goals Report (PHG) on the City of Modesto’s Water System, in compliance with Title 22 of the California Health and Safety Code. (Funding Source: Not Applicable)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
This item supports the City of Modesto 2020-2025 Strategic Plan Initiatives, Goal D: Provide safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance, and sustainability efforts.
BACKGROUND:
Title 22, Section 116470 of the California Health and Safety Code requires that all large water system providers issue a public notice on water quality standards within their service area.
In addition to the above requirement, any water system with more than 10,000 service connections is mandated to issue a report every three years documenting any exceedance of a Public Health Goal (PHG) for potable water; this report was last published in 2019. This report is only for the City of Modesto; it does not include the City’s outlying service areas because it contains fewer than 10,000 service connections. The water provider is also required to hold a public meeting on the Public Health Goals Report and accept public comments at that time.
A copy of the Public Health Goals Report is attached.
DISCUSSION:
The State of California requires the Public Health Goals report to include:
Numerical Public Health Risk
Category/Type of Health Risk
Best Available Treatment
Estimated Treatment Cost
#22..
- 790 -
City Council, January 24, 2023
Acceptance of the 2022 Public Health Goals Report
Only constituents that meet or exceed a PHG or Maximum Contaminants Level Goal (MCLG) if there is no PHG, are addressed. Reported constituents are: 1,2,3-Trichloropropane (TCP), Arsenic, Dibromochloropropane (DBCP), Tetrachloroethene (PCE), Radium 226 and 228, Uranium, E. coli Bacteria, and Lead.
All water quality data presented in the report was collected between 2019 and 2021. Data was previously summarized and presented to customers through the annual Consumer Confidence Report.
The annual operations and maintenance costs to reduce all contaminants in well water to meet the PHG, is estimated to be approximately $32 million annually.
Drinking water quality in the City meets all State Water Resource Control Board and U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency drinking water standards set to protect public health. PHGs are based on the volume of contaminant ingested. Surface water provides for greater protection of public health without additional investment in wellhead treatment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This item was presented to the Economic Development Committee on Monday, December 5, 2022 and was recommended to forward to Council for approval.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff Recommendations:
Resolution accepting the 2022 Public Health Goals Report in compliance with Title 22 of the California Health and Safety Code.

City of Modesto
2022 Public Health Goals Report
#22..
- 794 -
Background
The California Health and Safety Code Title 22 Section 116470(b) specifies that water utilities serving more than 10,000 connections prepare a brief written report every three years that documents detections of any constituents that exceed a Public Health Goal (PHG) in the preceding three years. This report documents the drinking water contaminants in our water supply found to be above a PHGs, or if no PHG, above the Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) during calendar years 2019 through 2021. The report must be presented at a public meeting, where Council may accept and respond to public comment. The Department of Drinking Water (DDW) must be notified after the meeting is held.
State law requires the following information to be disclosed in this report:
➢ Numerical public health risk
➢ Category or type of health risk
➢ Best Available Treatment (BAT) technology
➢ Estimated treatment costs (only operating and maintenance estimated cost; no capital estimated cost included)
The Water Division is recommending that no action be taken regarding the reduction of contaminants to levels below the MCL.
What are Public Health Goals?
PHGs are non-enforceable goals established by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) which is part of Cal-EPA.
PHGs are based solely on public health risk considerations and are not required to be meet by any public water system. None of the practical risk-management factors that are considered by the USEPA or the California Division of Drinking Water in setting drinking water standards (MCLs) are considered in setting PHGs. PHGs are often not practically achievable from an economic and technological point of view.
When setting MCLs, the regulatory agencies take into consideration analytical detection capability, availability of treatment technology, benefits and cost.
Water Quality Data Considered
All of the water quality data collected by the City between 2019 and 2021 for the purpose of determining compliance with drinking water standards was considered for the 2022 Public Health Goal report. This data was previously summarized and presented to customers in the annual Consumer Confidence Reports.
#22..
- 795 -
Guidelines Followed
The Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) formed a workgroup which prepared guidelines for water utilities to use in preparing these reports.
The ACWA guidelines were updated in 2022 and were utilized in the preparation of this report.
Best Available Treatment Technology and Cost Estimates
Both the USEPA and the DDW adopt what are known as BATs or Best Available Technologies which are the best-known methods of reducing contaminant levels to the MCL. Costs can be estimated for such technologies. However, since many PHGs and all MCLGs are set much lower than the MCL, it is not always possible nor feasible to determine what treatment is needed to further reduce a constituent downward to or near the PHG or MCLG, many of which are set at zero. Estimating costs to reduce a constituent to zero is difficult, if not impossible because it is not possible to verify by analytical means that the level has been lowered to zero. If the contaminant is not detected in a sample the result is reported as less than the detection level for reporting. In some cases, installing treatment to further reduce a very low level of one constituent may have an adverse affect on other aspects of water quality. The actual costs to reduce contaminants to PHG levels may differ dramatically from the estimates provided in this report.
Constituents Detected that Exceed a PHG or a MCLG
The following is a discussion of constituents that were detected at levels above the PHG, or if no PHG, above the MCLG.
The estimated operations and maintenance costs per year to reduce all contaminant in our well water to the Public Health Goal is approximately 32 million dollars per year.
All cost estimates provided within this report were based on the cost for each BAT provided by ACWA in their 2022 guidance document.
1, 2 ,3 –Trichloropropane (TCP)
There are 15 wells that contain TCP above the PHGs. The BAT for TCP includes Granular Active Carbon (GAC). The cost to reduce the TCP in all Modesto wells to meet PHGs is approximately $0.91 million dollars per year. The OEHHA has determined that TCP is a health concern at certain levels of exposure and listed the health risk category as carcinogenicity. The numerical health risk for TCP above the PHG is 1x which means one excess cancer case per million people exposed.
Arsenic
There are 38 wells in Modesto that contain Arsenic above the PHGs. The BAT for arsenic includes ion exchange treatment. The cost to reduce arsenic in all Modesto wells to meet PHGs is approximately $10.97 million dollars per year. #22..
- 796 -
The OEHHA has determined that arsenic is a health concern at certain levels of exposure and listed the health risk category as carcinogenicity. The numerical health risk for arsenic above the PHG is 1x which means one excess cancer case per million people exposed.
Dibromochloropropane (DBCP)
There are 2 wells that contain DBCP above the PHGs. The BAT for DBCP includes GAC. The cost to reduce the DBCP in all Modesto wells to meet PHGs is approximately $0.20 million dollars per year. The OEHHA has determined that DBCP is a health concern at certain levels of exposure and listed the health risk category as carcinogenicity. The numerical health risk for DBCP above the PHG is 1x which means one excess cancer case per million people exposed.
Tetrachloroethene (PCE)
There are 2 wells that contain PCE above the PHGs. The BAT for PCE includes GAC. The cost to reduce the PCE in all Modesto wells to meet PHGs is approximately $0.05 million dollars per year. The OEHHA has determined that PCE is a health concern at certain levels of exposure and listed the health risk category as carcinogenicity. The numerical health risk for PCE above the PHG is 1x which means one excess cancer case per million people exposed.
Radium 226
There are 7 wells that contain Radium 226 above the PHGs. The BAT for Radium 226 includes ion exchange treatment. The cost to reduce the Radium 226 in all Modesto wells to meet PHGs is approximately $0.97 million dollars per year. The OEHHA has determined that Radium 226 is a health concern at certain levels of exposure and listed the health risk category as carcinogenicity. The numerical health risk for Radium 226 above the PHG is 1x which means one excess cancer case per million people exposed.
Radium 228
There are 12 wells that contain Radium 228 above the PHGs. The BAT for Radium 228 includes ion exchange treatment. The cost to reduce the Radium 228 in all Modesto wells to meet PHGs is approximately $3 million dollars per year. The OEHHA has determined that Radium 228 is a health concern at certain levels of exposure and listed the health risk category as carcinogenicity. The numerical health risk for Radium 228 above the PHG is 1x which means one excess cancer case per million people exposed.
Uranium
There are 48 wells that contain Uranium above the PHGs. The BAT for Uranium includes ion exchange treatment. The cost to reduce the Uranium in all Modesto wells to meet PHGs is approximately $16 million dollars per year. The OEHHA has determined that Uranium is a health concern at certain levels of exposure #22..

and listed the health risk category as carcinogenicity. The numerical health risk for Uranium above the PHG is 1x which means one excess cancer case per million people exposed.
E. Coli Bacteria
In July 2021, the California Revised Total Coliform Rule became effective. The purpose for the revisions was to provide the public with increased protection against microbial pathogens in drinking water served by public water systems. In the month of July 2021, the City of Modesto collected 145 routine samples from the distribution system and one sample tested positive for both total coliform and E Coli bacteria. However, the repeat samples the City of Modesto conducted tested negative for both total coliform and E. Coli bacteria. At this point the City met the MCL standards and did not need further investigation. The one single action that would most likely decrease the possibility of positive E. Coli detection would be to significantly increase the disinfectant residual. However, this would likely result in increased disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Also, there is no action that could be taken with absolute certainty that could ensure that the system would always have zero positive samples.
No cost estimate is required.
Lead
The BAT for Lead and Copper (at the tap) is a Treatment Technique (TT) which optimizes on corrosion control. The City of Modesto meets the requirements of having optimized corrosion control but still had a 90 percentile lead value above the PHG during the lead and copper at the tap sampling event in 2020. Since the City meets the corrosion control requirements no action is required.
No cost estimate is required.
Recommendations for Further Action
The drinking water quality of the City of Modesto meets all State of California, DDW and USEPA drinking water standards set to protect public health. The City of Modesto’s treated surface water, which represents approximately half of the water delivered, does not contain Arsenic, Uranium, DBCP, PCE, TCE, or Coliform above the detection limit for reporting. Since Public Health Goals are set based on the volume of contaminant ingested, conjunctive use of well water and surface water provides for greater protection of public health without additional investment in wellhead treatment.
The Water Division is recommending that no action be taken due to the fact:
• The cost to further reduce the levels of the contaminants identified in this report is estimated at over thirty-two million dollars per year plus capital costs for the treatment systems.
• The effectiveness of the treatment processes to provide water that meets the PHG is uncertain because of limitations in analytical instrumentation. #22..
- 798 -
• The health protection benefits of reductions below the MCL are uncertain and may not be quantifiable.
• The funds that are available provide better health protection benefits when spent on water system operation, maintenance, surveillance and monitoring programs.

FROM: Bill Sandhu, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Multifamily Dwelling Bulky Item Pickup Pilot Program CONTACT: Rosene Salmo, Integrated Waste Program Manager, [email protected], 209-577-5453
DESCRIPTION:
Consider approving the Multifamily Dwelling Bulky Item Pickup Program as a pilot for a term of one year. (Funding Source: America Rescue Plan Act)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the City’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan Initiative: Quality of Life, “Engage partners across the community to ensure the safety, resilience, and attractiveness of Modesto”, Goal B: “Increase pride in Modesto’s diverse neighborhoods and business districts through beautification efforts and by investing in community assets and amenities.” BACKGROUND:
In 2019, the City of Modesto conducted citywide community surveys, which identified blight as one of the most pressing issues for residents. In the same year, the City adopted the 2020-2025 Blight Abatement Strategy, developed though collaboration with community members, local partnerships, other agencies, and internal City departments.1 The strategy outlines initiatives for blight abatement on public and private property, encourages public and private partnerships, and further action to minimize and mitigate blight.
In 2022, the Public Works Department requested an allocation from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to fund the development and implementation of a Bulky Item Pickup Program expanded to serve multifamily dwellings. On July 12, 2022, by Resolution 2022-327, Council approved as part of the second allocation of the City’s Pandemic Recovery Strategy, Modesto Forward, to “improve the development of affordable housing, spur tourism and economic recovery, and address gaps in service.”
