COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:

October 8, 2024
Date: September 12, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Stephan Christensen, Interim OPMB Director
SUBJECT: Committee Appointments - Measure H Oversight Board – District 1 Seat CONTACT: Stephan Christensen, Interim OPMB Director, [email protected] 209-577-5390
DESCRIPTION:

Consider approving the appointment of Lynn Dickerson for the vacant District 1 seat of the City of Modesto Measure H Oversight Board beginning October 8, 2024, to serve their respective term. (Funding Source: Not Applicable)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:

This item supports the City of Modesto 2020-2025 Strategic Plan focus on Governance and Service Delivery under Goal H: Achieve Financial Sustainability.

BACKGROUND:

On November 8, 2022, the Modesto voters approved Measure H, a one-cent sales tax for general City services, and on November 29, 2022, by Resolution No. 2022-453 the Modesto City Council certified the election results. Measure H is expected to provide the City with approximately $43 million annually in additional sales tax revenue into its General Fund.

One important part of Measure H, which is codified in Modesto Municipal Code section 8-

2.1215, is the requirement that Council appoint a nine-member Oversight Board by June 30, 2023. The Council met this requirement, but a vacancy has since opened. This appointment will fill that vacancy and once again make whole the nine-member Oversight Board.

Section 1102 of the Charter of the City of Modesto authorizes the City Council to appoint members to various Boards and Commissions with the recommendation of the City’s Appointments Committee.

This Measure H Oversight Board has the following responsibilities:

Page 2 of 3 ends

1) Meet at least semi-annually to review all revenues and expenditures of funds from the authorized Measure H sales tax.
2) Review annual audit reports related to the Measure H sales tax. 3) Provide at least one written annual report to the City Council at a public meeting summarizing the Measure H Oversight Board findings.

DISCUSSION:

The Measure H ordinance defined the makeup of the Measure H Oversight Board. The Oversight Board will consist of a representative from each Council district and three “at-large” Modesto residents. Strong preference will be given to members that represent a cross-section of the community, possibly including, but not limited to, representatives of the following types of organizations:
1) Schools
2) Local Trade Associations
3) Chambers of Commerce
4) Nonprofit Organizations
5) Senior Citizen Groups
6) Non-partisan Political Organizations
7) Tax-payer Association
8) Neighborhood Organizations
To be considered as a potential member of the Measure H Oversight Board, applicants must meet the below criteria to qualify:
1) Must be a registered voter and resident of City of Modesto 2) Must complete the online application for Boards, Commissions & Committees for the Measure H Oversight Board
The ordinance requires the Measure H Oversight Board be made up of nine members, six of whom are representatives of the Council districts. As part of this process, each Councilmember from the six districts across the City of Modesto will make a recommendation based upon applications received in their respective districts, to the Appointments Committee.

Currently, there is a single vacancy for the District 1 seat within the Measure H Oversight Board.

The application process for this vacant seat closed on August 26, 2024.

City staff coordinated with the City’s Communication team to outreach the solicitation of applications for the Measure H Oversight Board positions. The outreach efforts included the following:
 Posted on social media on the City’s Facebook and Instagram accounts with the most recent push on August 10, 2024.
 Posted on the City’s X (formerly “Twitter”) account with the most recent push on August 20, 2024.
 Posted on LinkedIn with the most recent push on August 15, 2024. #4..

During this application process, six applications were received. Of the six applications received, two applications did not live in District 1 and are not eligible for this vacancy but will be held on file for future vacancies on the Measure H Oversight Board. The remaining applications not recommended for the District 1 seat of the Measure H Oversight Board at this time will be kept on file should the need to fill a vacancy on the Oversight Board occur.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Notwithstanding staff in-kind support, there is currently no direct fiscal impact for the Measure H Oversight Board.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

After a review of the four eligible applications for the vacant District 1 seat, the Appointments Committee voted to forward the recommendation of Lynn Dickerson for appointment to Council at their meeting on September 11, 2024.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff Recommendations:

Resolution approving the appointment of Lynn Dickerson to the vacant District 1 seat of the City of Modesto Measure H Oversight Board beginning October 8, 2024, to serve their respective term.

5 (f) All exhibits, documents or other physical evidence used by applicant or other interested parties during the hearings, will become part of the record and retained by the Secretary until the decision becomes final.
(g) Witnesses shall not be required to be sworn. Each witness will be required to approach the microphone and give their full name for the record before making a presentation.
(h) The right to question the witnesses shall be afforded, if requested.

However, the Chairperson may require that such questions be addressed through the Chairperson for resubmission to the witness.

Such documents may be filed with the Secretary and the Secretary shall mark them as having been received for the limited purpose of showing the names of the persons protesting or supporting the application.
(j) While it is desirable in a democratic process to permit every person an unlimited right to speak, such a right may unduly prolong a public hearing and cloud the basic issue if the comments presented are merely cumulative and repetitious. Therefore, whenever necessary, the Chairperson will state that cumulative and repetitious comments are to be avoided and may limit the time allocated for persons who wish to speak. Similarly, testimony and comments which are incompetent, irrelevant or immaterial shall be foreclosed by the Chairperson. If, because of the informality of the hearing, such improper comments are received, it shall not be considered by the Commission in reaching its decision. (k) The Commission may establish special rules for individual meetings, establishing time limits for presentations and requiring presentations to be made through spokespersons, if possible.
(l) After those in favor and opposed to an application have been heard, the Chairperson will ask for the recommendation of the staff and the reasons for such recommendation. After such recommendation, one spokesperson for the applicant and one spokesperson for the opponents shall be given a limited amount of time to summarize their position or respond to the recommendation, after which the Chairperson shall close the public portion of the hearing.
(m) The Commission should discuss the issues involved and make its decision only after hearing the evidence presented at the public hearing. Discussion of the matter by Commission members should be delayed until after the public hearing is closed and the matter is presented to the Commission for discussion and decision. (n) The Commission may take a field trip to view the property involved in the public hearing. All field trips shall be taken as part of a regular, adjourned regular, or special meeting of the Commission and all interested persons will be afforded the opportunity to #6..

6 be present to hear any reports or comments. A complete record of such field trip will be entered into the minutes so the record will indicate that the field trip was taken into consideration as evidence. If a Commissioner has personal knowledge of the property or area, the Commissioner should make a statement to that effect at the time of the hearing so the record will reflect everything being taken into consideration in making the final decision. (o) Commissioners are responsible for ensuring that the public hearing is conducted in a fair and impartial manner. If a Commissioner receives a significant personal contact or telephone call outside of the public hearing which concerns a matter pending before or of interest to the Landmark Preservation Commission, he or she shall disclose the substance and nature of the contact or call at the public hearing. If written materials are presented to the Commission by an applicant or member of the public, a copy should be made available for public review by filing the materials with the Secretary at least three (3) days in advance of the meeting at which the item or matter is scheduled to be considered or at the time the materials are provided to any Commissioner, whichever is earliest.

I am elated to say I am proud of the community I come from and try my hardest to make it the best it can be by participating in various activities such as hosting blood drives at my local temple, playing the harmonium at my temple and donating the proceeds to the Stanislaus county children’s crisis line. I am elated to say I am the founder of my schools stewardship club where we recycle and use the proceeds to buy fabrics to hand make blankets for newborns. As for organizations I am the founder of my own non profit, “AAPI” and on the board of various other non profits.

I believe I have a unique blend of qualities that I would bring to the board. I have experience in leadership through my roles in various community organization such as the Stanislaus county leadership academy and the rotary leadership district awardee, and as a speaker at significant events. I am committed to service and elated to day I received the 2023 silver presidential service award. My experience includes my internship at the DA’s office where I have got hands on experience in the legal system, enhancing my understanding of civic engagement.

Place of Employment
I am passionate about empowering young people and amplifying their voices in decision- making processes. By serving on this commision, I hope to contribute to policies and initiatives that adress the needs of the youth, fostering a more inclusive and responsive community.

I see mental health as the primary issue currently impacting the youth in your community. The pressures of academic achievement, social dynamics, and the pervasive influence of social media have significantly increased stress and anxiety amongst young people. Many lack adequate mental health resources and support systems, leading to the feeling of isolation and hopelessness.

I enjoy playing tennis. I find it’s my outlet to get away from the real world and all my stress going on. When I’m on the court I drop everything from the real world and just focus on the game.

Yes
If selected, I commit to attending all my meetings and serving diligently to represent the youth of Modesto on the Youth Commission. #8..

I am a student at Grace M. Davis High School, and in my time here, I have had the opportunity to be involved in several school and community-based activities. I am grateful for these opportunities.

At Davis, I am active in extracurricular clubs and activities. They include Speech and Debate, where I compete in “congress” and I am vice president of the club. I am also a mock trial team member, where I participate as an attorney. I am a member and vice president of Project Her, a school club that promotes and celebrates individual differences, ensuring that members have a fair chance at expression, and fostering a work climate where everyone is treated with dignity and acceptance. I have also participated in student government, where I progressed from freshman class president to ASB executive media director in my sophomore year. Additionally, I am working to relaunch the Davis newspaper, The Corinthian. I am actively involved in my community and have been volunteering for several years. I have participated in events like Love Modesto, assisted at retirement communities, and contributed to school beautification activities in Modesto. One of my core memories was helping build beds for children in need through the Sleep in Heavenly Peace program, which was a tremendous experience.

As a student-athlete, I have competed in cross-country, tennis, and swimming. It is important to add that being active in these sports has also required me to learn the need for school/work/home balance, including the importance of time management. Along with these activities, I have also been fundraising to help offset the costs of these sports, like paying for uniforms, equipment, and officials.

These experiences have taught me that community involvement is about fostering connections and promoting civic duty.

As stated, my experiences in student leadership have prepared me with a mix of qualities that would be beneficial to those whom the commission serves. Through my experience in the various clubs that I am part of, I have developed an easy public speaking style, quick wit, and a tempered approach that is critical for conveying ideas to my peers in a way that they can understand. These experiences have also galvanized my commitment to inclusivity and social awareness, which are vital for representing diverse perspectives.

My experience as a media director has expanded my understanding of the need for efficient and effective communication strategies. In whole, these experiences have broadened my ability to communicate with the student body. My role as freshman class president taught me the importance of representing and advocating for my peers’ interests. Additionally, my work in launching a school newspaper showcases my ability to bring my ideas to life and take initiative.

My involvement in Mock Trial has afforded me a glance into the world of rhetoric, which is valuable for discussions, argumentation, and decision-making processes.

Furthermore, my consistent community service demonstrates a strong sense of civic duty and understanding of local needs that scope out beyond my school community. My experiences as well as my open mind will make me an asset to the Youth Commission.

I found out about this committee through an instagram ad.

I have a genuine desire to help people, especially my peers. Serving on this committee would allow me to channel this passion into meaningful action. I find great satisfaction in seeing progression in my community. I feel the youth committee will allow me the opportunity to contribute to the development of our local youth. I value a sense of belonging and being a part of an initiative that will make a significant difference in our community. This committee aligns with my aspirations and will allow me to meaningfully contribute to our community while gaining valuable leadership skills and civic involvement.

As a young person in our community, I frequently see issues that significantly impact our youth. Mental health is a rising issue in our group. We are under immense pressure to succeed socially, academically, and in extracurricular activities. The constant push for achievement drastically affects our self-esteem and causes anxiety and depression. Financial stability is another growing issue impacting our youth; unfortunately, due to high prices, many young people struggle to afford necessities, and in some scenarios, it is a setback that holds them from thriving. Addressing these issues is the first step to finding solutions; it will require support from all aspects of the community to ensure the well-being and success of our youth.

I find the greatest joy in my free time being creative and with my loved ones. I love painting, baking (especially for my friends and family), crocheting, and creative writing. Being creative is truly second nature to me, and I try my best to foster it even when I am busy. I am very close with my immediate family and we do many things together, I also spend a lot of time with my best friends.

Yes
If selected, I commit to attending all my meetings and serving diligently to represent the youth of Modesto on the Youth Commission.

I learned about the Youth Commission through recommendations from my school peers.

Attending Modesto High School has provided me with numerous resources and materials to be involved with school activities and my community. As a member of the mock trial and speech and debate teams, I have gained insight and knowledge into public policy and law, fostering my desire to learn more about the political process as a fellow on Mayor Sue Zwahlen’s campaign. As Vice President of the Panther Press, my school’s newspaper, and experience on academic decathlon, I have gained a broader understanding of the value of conducting fieldresearch, bringing different societal conflicts to life through writing. Furthermore, as President of the Stanislaus County Outreach Volunteer Organization, I continue to manage and oversee developing projects, such as raising money to create dog beds for at-risk animals at local shelters. These skills have also allowed me to become more involved, bringing student voices to the Modesto City Schools District. The Student Advisory Council (SAC), has allowed me to bring the necessary student input to ensure that all students’ voices are uplifted and heard.

In addition, this past term at the Local Control and Accountability Plan Committee (LCAP) for Modesto City Schools, has allowed me to further advocate for budget allocations in programs, such as career readiness and access to technology.

Recognizing my ability to contribute meaningfully in these activities motivated me to join the American Cancer Society, Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) where I work as a Legislative Ambassador. As the co-chair of the ACS Society of Emerging Leaders in the Council of Emerging Leaders (CELC), I continue to overlook advocacy projects throughout California to increase the quality of life for cancer patients and survivors during and after their treatment.

As an incoming sophomore, I would bring my skills in advocacy and public speaking to the Youth Commission to ensure that I maximize my impact as a young leader. Given my experience in speech and debate and mock trial, I would bring my communication skills and a growth mindset to effectively convey my ideas, and listen to others’ perspectives. Based on my journalism experience, I would be able to further develop efforts in bringing awareness to local issues with the intent of creating passion and unity throughout our community. Much like my time in ACS CAN, working with adults to promote bills and advocacy projects, I will bring my collaborative efforts and problem-solving skills to engage in Modesto’s political process. As a youth commissioner, I will devote my time and effort to the Youth Commission to provide compassion, respect, and integrity to the board to assist in further developing the youth voice. #8..

I want to serve on the Youth Commission because I believe this platform amplifies the youth voice needed in order to make effective change to our city. I value the Youth Commission because it would allow me to be surrounded by like-minded individuals that are passionate in growing and strengthening Modesto. The Youth Commission’s approach to teamwork and civic organization is unique in its approach to dealing with local government affairs as it allows the youth to implement their diverse perspectives to ensure fairness and equity for all. By serving on this commission, I believe I would be able to work with my peers, and create a lasting impact for our community, fulfilling my passion for facilitating others in the process.

The primary issue I see impacting the youth in our community is a clear social divide. Our youth are extremely divided. Whether it is due to religion, politics, difference in values, or wealth, these matters should not have a strenuous impact on our social relationships. Oftentimes, I have noticed that the circumstances and the diverse population of our society have become points of divide, rather than conversation. For example, close peers of mine have cut ties amongst one another due to differences in religion. Many of my classmates find that variations in political viewpoint to be a separation point. Instead of using these differences to spark conversation to gain perspective and understanding, it has only led to a widening disparity. With the rise in peer social pressure to engage in substance use behaviors, there is an increasing sense for conformity, and disdain for diversity. As of now, the social divide is at an all time high. Whereas, instead of using social differences as points of separation, they should be used to listen and learn from unique individuals. If nothing is done about it, our future generations will not be united, and as a member of the youth commission, it would be my goal to work with my peers to overcome this social divide and address this issue.

In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball and playing piano. Ever since I was five years olds, my passion for playing sports has only grown. The main sport I enjoy playing is basketball since over the 10 years I have played it, my love for the game has strengthened. Basketball increases my competitive nature and promotes self-discipline to be the best I can be everyday, since I know I can get better. On the other hand, playing piano calms my attitude and allows me to focus on the present rather than worrying about the past or future.

If selected, I commit to attending all my meetings and serving diligently to represent the youth of Modesto on the Youth Commission. #8..

I actively volunteer at Sutter health memorial medical center, gaining valuable experience in healthcare and supporting community well-being. Additionally, I participate in environmental justice programs, advocating for sustainable practices. At school, I’m involved in the Speech and Debate team in which I have gone to state tournaments and various clubs, where I develop leadership skills and engage in meaningful projects. My commitment to these activities reflects my dedication to making a positive impact both in my community and academic environment. I also will be a part of my school's South Asian Student Alliance club officer, The school's new Create For Kids club officer, and president of the new women empowerment club at Enochs. These new voyages help me work with the community as well as all schools in the district.

I would bring a strong commitment to service, leadership, and academic excellence to the Board, Commission, or Committee. My past leadership and volunteering opportunities equipped me with a deep understanding of community needs and a passion for making a positive impact. As an active member and officer of various school clubs, I have developed strong communication, problemsolving, and teamwork skills. These experiences have honed my ability to approach challenges with a collaborative and solution-oriented mindset, making me well-prepared to contribute effectively to the Board, Commission, or Committee. I will be able to bring new innovative ideas as well as plans to execute them to better impact our youth of Modesto for the better. #8..

I want to serve on the Youth Commission because I am passionate about creating positive change within our community and believe that youth voices are crucial in shaping the future. My experiences in volunteering, advocacy, and school activities have shown me the importance of community engagement and leadership. By joining the Youth Commission, I hope to contribute my skills and perspectives to address the needs and interests of young people in our city. I am eager to collaborate with others to develop innovative solutions and programs that will make a meaningful impact on our community.

The primary issues currently impacting youth in our community include mental health challenges, access to quality education, and opportunities for meaningful engagement. Many young people face significant stress and anxiety, exacerbated by academic pressures and social challenges. Additionally, disparities in educational resources and support can affect students’ academic outcomes and future opportunities. Finally, there is a need for more avenues for youth to get involved in community service and leadership activities. Addressing these issues requires a comprehensive approach that includes improving mental health support, ensuring equitable educational resources, and creating more opportunities for youth engagement and development.

In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, which helps me stay active and relieve stress. I also love participating in community service. Additionally, I find relaxation in reading and exploring new topics related to my academic interests. These activities not only enrich my personal life but also align with my commitment to making a positive impact in my community

I am extremely involved in my local community. Since January of 2024, I have accumulated over 100 hours of volunteer time at the newly opened Modesto Children's Museum. My job there is to assist the staff and entertain the children with activities while the museum is operating or during the museum’s science education summer camp for children. I am currenty serving as Vice President and President of the Fundraising Committee for Modesto High School’s Key Club International which promotes community service and friendship. As VP and President of the Fundraising Committee, I have led multiple meetings over the school year and organized three successful fundraisers to support children suffering in Gaza. This past April, I was granted the opportunity to be a part of the Parks Youth Committee (PYC). At PYC, I have been a contributing member of speeches and informational videos that were given to the Modesto City Council that influenced future bills and local laws. Besides participating on my school’s tennis and track teams, I have been both a student volunteer and an active participant in Teens Run Modesto (completing the 13.1 race distance). I am also currently involved in a local tennis summer league in which we play against various teams in Modesto. At Modesto High School, I am involved with the International Baccalareate Program (IB) and Student Senate. IB is an accelerated learning program for students who want to grow their minds academically and Student Senate is a school leadership council composed of a diverse, select team of students wanting to better the school.

I have many qualifications that I feel like would make me an ideal candidate for serving on the Modesto Youth Commission Board. I am a leader, proficient public speaker, and believe highly in the power of teamwork and civic duty. I was very active this past school year on the speech and debate team at my highschool.

While on the team, I acquired valuable public speaking, debate and problem solving skills. Serving on the Student Senate of my freshman class, I represented the viewpoints of my peers and often gave my input into how we could improve our school as a whole. The experience as a member of the Parks Youth Committee, has taught me the value of protecting and caring for our environment and community. I strongly believe in taking initiative and becoming involved to make our city a better place for all.

I want to serve on the Youth Commission because I would like to gain valuable information on research and community involvement. This commission would allow me to meet influential community mentors that could help me grow and evolve as a leader. My career goal is to be in science and research and I know this commission would support my future aspirations.

The primary issues I see impacting the youth in our community is an absence of direction and motivation to live a fulfilling life. I’ve witnessed many of my peers fall into bad habits that lead to self-destructive behaviors. Being a student at Modesto High School, I have seen a lot of drug abuse and violence around the area. I believe the cause of this to be a lack of goals or direction. Their lack of motivation has the ability to harm the people around them, which ultimately erodes the community.

In my free time I enjoy being active, spending time with friends, and baking for my family. Participating in exercise, such as tennis and running allows me to clear my head and focus on what is important to me. Being with friends always puts a smile on my face because I am a social person that loves to get to know people better.

Baking has always been a big passion of mine and I hope to incorporate it in my future career goal as a scientist. I also like to bake because it is experimentally precise which makes a fun challenge.

I am heavily involved in school extracurriculars including sports such as golf and football, as well as many clubs and opportunities. Some clubs include our school’s Random Acts of Kindness club which aims to spread kindness and positivity throughout the campus and our community, Math Olympiad, Biology Club, Speech and Debate, Recycling Club, and our Environmental Club. I am also heavily involved in our Student Senate. I believe the Student Senate is an important way to provide student and youth perspective to our school’s staff and activities.

I would bring a fresh perspective and an open mind to the Commission. I have always had a curiosity to learn more about our community and how to help as well as to hear about other’s perspectives and situations. Along with that I see youth participation in our community as incredibly important, as shown by my activity in our school’s Student Senate. I know that our community needs our input and involvement to constantly improve. Other qualities I have include patience and understanding, as well as a readiness to help out whenever necessary. #8..

A friend who is on the Commission.

I want to be an active participant in my community and I would love to provide my help and input wherever it is needed. I also know how important it is to provide representation to a large demographic of our community who can tend to feel unheard. I believe providing the city with perspective from our youth is incredibly beneficial.

I believe the primary issues impacting our youth is a general apathy for our community. I believe this has been brought on by social media and its bombardment on young people with too much of a world view and too little of a communal view. While I believe it is important to understand and know issues impacting the world around us, I believe our youth is overstimulated by social media and tends to forget how important our community is. No matter how small the city around us feels, our city holds great importance and impact on our lives and I believe the youth need to be better involved in our community.

I enjoy being active in all sorts of ways. I enjoy playing sports, working out, doing yard work which I know is a little odd but putting in work and seeing positive results is fulfilling for me, and hanging out with friends. I also find enjoyment from reading classic literature and even comic books from time to time.

I enjoy volunteering and youth commission will give me the ability to schedule volenteering events. I also want to serve because I get to meet peers who are just as passionate about volenteering as I am while also having the opportunity to meet local council men and get a deeper understanding of local government

Homelessness. It’s not even funny how bad it is. I’m sitting here at the Starbucks on J street, down town Modesto after running a quick 3 miles and there’s a homeless man screaming at passing cars begging for money. There’s homelessness on every street camping out in every city. It seems as though no matter how much money and federal funding goes into making cities a beautiful place to shop, eat, and celebrate there will always be a village of homeless people to ruin your experience. And it’s even worse for youth, like I mentioned before, down town Modesto hosts dozens of high school proms. Those are iconic once in a life time core moments and if I can do anything to prevent the homeless from ruining it and make it more safe for everyone who goes then why shouldn’t I.

Dancing! I love love love dancing. Contemporary mainly but I still dance hip hop and jazz. I also spend a lot of my time running and getting my miles up. I’m always finding 5k’s or even 10k’s. I think a half marathon, which is 13.1 miles, is kind of pushing it but I think I’ll be ok if I go with friends. Anyway, dancing, running, And also baking. I try to do it often as much as I can but now that my Nona is visiting for the summer, I’m sure I will be spending more time baking

In 2023 a good friend of mine invited me to one of the Stanislaus County Youth Empowerment Alliance meetings, at the time I was not sure what the benefit or purpose of such a meeting could be. However, when I arrived there it was to my surprise when the first speaker came up and spoke of her upbringing filled with trials and tribulations, I could not imagine the loneliness she would have felt nor the distress within the sanctity of her own home. Yet she stood there smiling, speaking confidently alongside other speakers. Among these speakers were representatives from the Modesto Youth Commission who following this speech Submission ID: b15b83b6-5834-4946-bb9b-38fa341a826d Page 2/5 #8..
- 129 -
listed numerous resources individuals could utilize so they wouldn’t have to suffer in silence like her. This was my introduction to the Modesto Youth Commission.

Describe your involvement in
community and/or school
activities and organizations.

1. Speech and Debate Captain (2 years)
For my freshman and sophomore years, I won in local tournaments and competed in both the State and National
tournaments while being the debate captain.

2. Science Olympiad Captain (6 years)
Ever since fifth grade, I have been an avid participant in STEM activities targeting academic enrichment in our city

3. Varsity Football (2 years)
For the first time, I joined a world so foreign to myself where I learned discipline, perseverance, and mental fortitude in a way unlike any other

4. Volunteering at my local masjid (8+ years)
This has been an integral portion of my upbringing, including organizing community events, speaking for the youth, and
charity drives

5. Red Cross Club Co-Founder
I began this club with a fellow Modesto Youth Commission member, to increase public health and volunteering initiatives in
my school and many others. This year we will be hosting our first blood drive.

What qualities, experience, and
expertise would you bring to the
Board, Commission or
Committee?
I believe my strongest characteristic above all others is my perseverance and the bravery it gave me. And by bravery, I don’t mean going on a scary rollercoaster, I mean persevering to the point I would have never imagined. This perseverance carries on into numerous fields of endeavors be it physical, academic, or even both. Academically, I persevere to the best of my ability to seek opportunities for myself. I would work hours and hours on end on my speeches, studying to aim for the top in my classes, writing my science olympiad notes, etc. For example, one recent struggle of mine was for my teacher to allow me into her AP Calculus class as a junior, a relatively unorthodox choice. Months, and months of both emailing, researching, and self-studying finally led me to this anticipated moment when school began. Physically, I have struggled with weight loss for my entire life, a struggle a large portion of Modesto’s youth also deals with. After years of trial and error, with unhealthy diets, overexertion, healthy diets, and safe exertion I have gained a sense of confidence. Confidence I believe is lacking in many. I believe that with my experience with this struggle, I can relate to Modesto’s youth above others in a situation that I know is detrimental to the mental health of both children and teens alike. Finally, the final facet of my perseverance is how I applied it last year on the football field. This was my first year in a team sport and with no experience beyond “nerdy” academics where I was able to receive awards for my season performance. The path to that was a much longer story. I endured physical exertion to the point I wanted to collapse, taunting that made me want to stay home, and a sense of detachment from others that made me feel that I should have never joined, Yet, I endured and enjoyed the fruit of my labors further building my confidence. Be it through my experience in sports, childhood bullying, or academic dedication the skillset I gained from all these experiences led me to believe that I could share invaluable insight on this Youth Commission.

Other (Please Specify) A Friend as mentioned previously Why do you want to serve on the
Youth Commission?
I want to serve on this Youth Commission truly to make a change I know I am capable of influencing. My first introduction described earlier, was one of both admiration and inspiration. I admired those of this very committee who dedicated Submission ID: b15b83b6-5834-4946-bb9b-38fa341a826d Page 3/5 #8..

their time to benefiting our community. Most importantly, however, I am inspired to utilize the qualities I know I possess to make a change just like them. Joining this community expands my horizons and opportunities where for example if I want to start a Red Cross initiative I am not just confined to my high school but I am free to benefit the community as a whole.

What do you see as the primary
issues currently impacting youth
in our community?
What if I told you that COVID-19 was one of many pandemics in the last decade? The pandemic of loneliness, depression, and other mental health issues have all exponentially risen, becoming endemic at times. I truly believe mental health is the greatest issue affecting youth today. Beyond its rather cliche use, I believe that mental health encapsulates more than our mental sanctity. It encapsulates our confidence and our perseverance, both of which have been tested as I fall down repeatedly on weekdays till 7 PM playing football on my school's varsity team.

However, I fear that a lot of youth do not have the resources to stand back up after the obstacles they face. That’s an issue because the rate of trials and tribulations seems to be increasing while the amount of resources available stagnates. As a Youth Commissioner, my goal would be to expand awareness of resources, to stand back up with everyone else. Falling alone is hard; as a Youth Commissioner, I would fall with everyone else and stand up with everyone else! What do you enjoy doing with
your free time?
In my free time, I love engaging in activities that enrich myself and build bridges and relationships with those around me. For my enrichment, I enjoy learning the rabab, a form of the guitar unique to my heritage that allows me to still have a connection to my beautiful homeland despite a 10,000-mile distance. Additionally, I spend my time at home enjoying the process of both mandatory studying for school tests and the SAT or supplementary studying or speechwriting to boost my academic performance. However, despite this the majority of my free time activities are communal. I spend 4 hours a day immediately after school traversing through high school football. As mentioned before I enjoy the discipline it builds, but most importantly I enjoy the relationships made. I made friends with individuals I would have never met otherwise while maintaining connections from academic extracurriculars. Going back to my cultural connection, by far the greatest pastime of mine is learning my own language. There is a feeling like no other, being unable to speak with your own family that loves you but you can't even verbally comprehend it. To tackle this problem with only two of my grandparents remaining, I dedicated the past few years of my life to absorbing every single form of education surrounding my mother tongue Pashto. Rereading a 300-page book 5 times, making use of US military linguistic programs, and speaking despite massive struggle.

Family/Friends

I started my own nonprofit: Sole Support- aimed at providing athletic equipment, support and opportunities to disadvantaged youth and communities. I have participated in Love Modesto through my local mosque, as well as other initiatives to bring people closer to their community. I've been involved in high school volunteering clubs, such as CSF or Interact, for which I am the secretary. Through these, I have had the opportunity to volunteer at the Peace Officer Memorial Run and the Modesto Marathon. I volunteer at Sutter Gould Medical Foundation every week, guiding patients and helping physicians. I am involved in projects to improve physician patient communications. Finally, I serve as a member of a local nonprofit, the Park Youth Committee, aimed at restoring and rejuvenating the Tuolumne River Park, as well as giving community members equitable opportunities to go to safe and clean parks in the city.

I have a passion to serve the community. while I have had the opportunity to volunteer at local school and community level events, I would like to expand it to serve youth across the city. I would like to take my passion to the next level, by serving the community, especially the youth across the city. I have several projects in mind, such as a tutoring service for vulnerable youth, working on the local food banks, and more importantly, spreading sport opportunities to the vulnerable youth of the community, providing and outlet and support system, away from gangs and other dangers. Finally, I can bring my organizational skills to this committee. Through my nonprofit as well as the Park Youth Committee, I have had to cater events, as well as manage funds and bring new ideas to fruition, to engage people in any new project.

Friends/Family
As part of the Park Youth Committee, I found that my perspective as a youth was valued and could be used to help the youth that attend many of Modesto's poorer parks. The Youth Commission gives me a larger reach to continue to voice my concerns about Modesto's children. I want to make a positive change that can be facilitated by this commission for the future of Modesto. As I walk around Modesto, I have always noticed the irritations and discomforts, and I believe as part of the Youth Commission, I can be a part in changing Modesto by utilizing my experience and skills and making sure that issues faced by todays youth are amended.

Our mental health crisis is the most challenging post-covid reality for a majority of youth in the Stanislaus county. With the lack of parental guidance in vulnerable, youth depend on , often dangerous support systems, and can be trapped in a gang or drug environment. Expanding education opportunities via a robust peer support system, which involves youth who they can look up to for support and encouragement, and rely on for emotional and logistical support, is essential in rebuilding these vulnerable youth positions.

I run for my high school cross country and track team, and volunteer at Sutter Gould Medical Foundation every Wednesday after school. I am part of CSF and I am secretary of my high school interact club. I have also been involved in Debate, Math Olympiad, and Science Olympiad teams. I am organizing events for my nonprofit Sole Support, attempting to garner support and create community ties.

CITY OF MODESTO

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:

October 8, 2024
Date: September 12, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Bill Sandhu, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Airport Advisory Committee, Appointment of Jeremiah Sasser CONTACT: Marisol Navarro, Airport Manager [email protected] 209-577-5319 DESCRIPTION:

Consider approving the appointment of Jeremiah Sasser to the Modesto City-County Airport Advisory Committee for a four-year term with an expiration date of June 30, 2028. (Funding Source: Not Applicable)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:

The recommended action supports the City’s Governance and Service Delivery Strategic Plan Initiative: Build community trust in City government through responsive, transparent, and efficient service delivery; Goal I: “Promote trust and engagement between the community and the City.”
BACKGROUND:

The Modesto City-County Airport (Airport) operates for the benefit of all businesses, industries, visitors and residents in the City of Modesto, Stanislaus County, and the surrounding areas. To ensure that the Airport is maintained and developed in such a manner that it will continue to be a high-quality aviation facility for its users and a good neighbor in the community, the Airport Advisory Committee (AAC) was formed. Interested citizens are appointed as members to the AAC by both the Modesto City Council and the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors to advise on numerous matters, including policy and planning pertaining to the operation and management of the Airport.

DISCUSSION:

The AAC is somewhat of a unique committee that is made up of very specific airport-related voting positions. Over the years, positions on the Committee have been difficult to fill, causing many reappointments. With the understanding of the importance of keeping the committee, the City has taken a different approach to filling this vacancy. Since the position requires the candidate to be a small aircraft owner for general aviation, staff determined a mass email to all general aviation users would be a great way to promote the vacancy. This promotion generated 12 applications. Of those applications, 11 were considered qualified candidates based on the #9..

City Council, October 08, 2024
Airport Advisory Committee, Appointment of Jeremiah Sasser

Page 2 of 2 ends

position requirements. Due to the response, qualified candidates were then supplied an additional questionnaire to be filled out with a deadline for response. The Airport received five questionnaires to be reviewed by the ACC for a recommendation.

The Small Aircraft Owner/General Aviation position is currently held by Allan Ramsey and expired on June 30, 2024.

At the Airport Advisory Committee (“AAC”) meeting on March 21, 2024, redacted supplemental questions for qualified candidates were provided to the Committee and reviewed to be voted on.

The AAC identified Jeremiah Sasser as the most qualified candidate for the position.

The recommendation of Jeremiah Sasser was then presented in front of the Appointments Committee on Tuesday, September 11, 2024. A motion was made three to zero to recommend this candidate to the AAC for a four-year term with an expiration date of June 30, 2028.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Appointing members to a committee is administrative in nature, and therefore, does not have a fiscal impact to the General Fund.

RECOMMENDED COMMITTEE ACTION:

This item was presented to the Appointments Committee on September 11, 2024, and was recommended to forward to Council for approval.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff Recommendations:

Resolution approving the appointment of Jeremiah Sasser to the Modesto City-County Airport Advisory Committee for the position of Small Aircraft Owner/General Aviation for a four-year term with an expiration date of June 30, 2028.

Approved by:

AAC APPLICATIONS
Please review and email your recommendations to Gabe at [email protected] by 12 PM Friday March 29th
Supplemental Questions asked:

1. Do you own an aircraft? How long have you been a pilot and how long have you been at Modesto Airport?

2. Why do you want to be a voting member of the committee?

3. What do you like about the Modesto Airport and what do you think could use improvement? Candidate #1 – Andrew Stein

1. Yes, currently a Luscombe 8a. I have owned a total of 7 over the years along with one helicopter. 1a. Since 1991.
1b. Since August of 2023.

2. I would like to participate in the local Modesto Airport community, something new for me!

3. Very clean, nice newer hangers, GA side & the busier Corporate side. The monthly CAF breakfast & lunch! We are so lucky for this great community of volunteers! Previously we had a Hanger in the G row & the floor would become wet after any rain. Maybe gutters would be a fix, partial fix?
Maybe a camera at the oil recycle area, to monitor anyone that is making a mess, but so it is easier access for the tenants? Maybe a card-lock for access?
We are now in the J row & very happy, It's great to be here! Thank you for the consideration!
Candidate #2 – Nate Holderbein
1 - I own an aircraft. I have been flying most of my life one way or another. I got my license in 1994 so going on 30 years. I have only been based at Modesto airport for a few months but I have flown here often over the years including having used it as a base for my check ride and other training arrangements. I am also a member of Civil Air Patrol, and so is my daughter so to some degree my interest in the airport extends to that function as well and I see the airport as an important host for that organization. I have lived in Stanislause County since 1999, previously from Tracy. 2 - To be perfectly honest, I don’t have a strong ambition to be a voting member…at least not in the sense that I have an agenda to push. My experience with boards like this is that sometimes there is trouble even getting a roster that is interested, reliable, and able to maintain quorum. I put my name in the hat primarily to cover a situation where there was not a suitable candidate at all but filling the role is necessary. This should not be mistaken as not being motivated or interested, I just don’t have any particular issue or project to tie my participation to. Since becoming a hangar tenant and reading through #9..
- 152 -
the record of meeting minutes and agendas and this seems like a functional board doing a good job.

There is evidence that a healthy board of stakeholders leads to the most successful GA airports and Modesto seems like a good example, so I would like to be part of that. Since I am also a tenant at an airport managed under a different structure and frankly, poorly managed in general, one motivation for a role on the board would be to get more experience with the inner workings and possibly be able to help at another nearby airport that could use improvement.
3 - As you could probably tell from #2, I have a generally positive opinion of Modesto as compared to other GA airports in the area. My experience as a tenant has been limited but o far I have been particularly impressed with the response of airport staff both in the office and on the field. Interaction with the maintenance folks is always pleasant and a good outcome. The airport seems to be fairly secure, and there seems to always be something being improved or upgraded. I’m sure that as time goes on I will come across some things I think could be improved, but at this point any specific suggestions I have would come purely from a place of self interest.

Candidate #3 – Christopher Fox

1. I am an aircraft owner. I currently own a C35 Bonanza. Previously, I owned a red and white Cherokee Six and before that a Cherokee 140 - All based at KMOD. I have been an aircraft owner and pilot for over 6 years. I took my first lesson out of KMOD from Hummingbird aviation in 2017.

2. I love Modesto, I love aviation, and I want to continue to see the airport improve and remain as a valuable asset to the community. I would love the opportunity to bring my ideas to the table and represent our general aviation community to the best of my ability.

3. KMOD is a well equipped airport with excellent lighting, many instrument approaches, local flight schools, friendly ATC, and City staff that maintain a safe and clean airport environment.

Some areas of improvement that come to mind are:

A) A more modern and better equipped pilot lounge - something that encourages transient traffic to visit KMOD in their travels - especially those who are not looking for a large FBO like the Jet Center. Although the lounge has the necessities - bathrooms and a vending machine, I would like to see a facility that provides a place for the pilot and their families or guests to relax - perhaps a TV, a couch, bright lighting, a computer to look at weather, coffee, etc. I would also use this to meet with passengers when I take them on flights instead of meeting at my hanger.

B) More local events that encourage local residents to visit the airport and get more people of all types and ages interested in aviation. For example, an open hangar day where pilots can open their hangars and have visitors (safely) walk around the hangars and look at aircraft, perhaps with food and local music onsite as well.

C) I think question 3 would be something that would be great to share with all tenants as well as pilots that use airport services (flight school, Jet Center) to see what they would like to see brought to the airport.
#9..

Candidate #4 – Jeremiah Sasser

1. Do you own an aircraft? Yes, I own a 1967 Cessna 172H, N8053L. I have it stored in hanger A9 at the Modesto Airport. Prior to that over the last 10 years I have rented planes at Modesto Airport going back to the Modesto Aviation days.

How long have you been a pilot and how long have you been at Modesto Airport? I have been a pilot for the last 10 years. I have been at Modesto and Turlock Airport for that period of time as a pilot, and prior to that I was a regular passenger when United Airlines offered service through KMOD. I am a Million Miler with United. Since 2023 I have been a tenant at Modesto Airport.

My plane is currently undergoing an annual at Pacific Aviation.

2. Why do you want to be a voting member of the committee? I know how to listen, digest and guide or follow based on understanding of the information. I think I can listen to the fellow GA/Aircraft owners and their concerns, digest them, simplify them for the team and help determine solutions or answers for the GA community at Modesto Airport.

I own a plane at the airport, I rent a hanger, and I use the services at Modesto Airport. My plane is at Pacific Aviation right now in Annual with Shane. I travel for work, and I live in airports, when I am home, I fly out of ours as much as possible commuting to work via plane. I see what works and does not work in all sizes of airports. I think I can add some outside perspective of other airports, understanding of some of the changes that have happened at Modesto Airport over the last decade, as well as perspective I gather from my fellow GA community at Modesto Airport and then make an informed decision with the committee for the best representation possible of my GA Community at Modesto Airport. The changes to GA at Modesto Airport directly impact me and my community, I live right under the airspace.

3. What do you like about the Modesto Airport and what do you think could use improvement? I like the management of Modesto Airport, I never have issues getting ahold of the team in the front office, or any of the grounds team. The airport is kept clean, and I am impressed with the changes over the last 10 years on the GA side of the airport. The tower is something I really enjoy. Having flown towered and non-towered airports, the team in the tower keeps us safe and spaced in the air, which is something important to me. “Getting in and out safely from the airport.”
The fuel station works well, and we have a great maintenance shop in Pacific Aviation. They have helped me out of many a bind and are collaborating with me now on a major repair I need for this annual. The idea of renting the parking lot for Tesla was genius! It provides safety/security to the airport as well as bringing in revenue to the airport. In my interaction with the airport team (including all businesses, management, and ATC) I have been impressed and happy I am a tenant at Modesto Airport. I could go into the Commemorative Airforce, the upgrades to the old Modesto Aviation offices and many other things about what is great about our airport. We really have a gem and I feel lucky I am involved with the airport.

We are doing a lot good at the airport, and what we can improve is not a long list from my current perspective. I would like to understand from the team at Modesto Airport what the 5- and 10-year plan is for the airport and how I can listen, learn, advise, help, and guide the journey with input from the GA community at Modesto Airport.

If I were given this opportunity, I would reach out to my fellow GA/Airplane Owners and see what they are seeing and what they believe could be improved. It would be important for me as a representative to listen to, digest, share with the rest of the team and then help answer or guide policy with the other team members on the subjects brought to me and the team. From our decisions, I would help inform the GA community at Modesto Airport while doing my best to represent their needs and concerns with the committee.

Candidate #5 – Michael Coats

1. My longevity as a pilot and plane owner at Modesto is relatively short, however I am member of Modesto Vapor Trails, a non-profit partnership, which has been at the airport for 60 years. I started flying in 2018 after my retirement as an Administrator with Modesto City Schools. When I was a boy my Dad flew for several years. I always enjoyed flying with him. At that time we lived in Indiana and Missouri and he owned a Piper Aeronica Chief and later a Piper Tri-Pacer. Due to high blood pressure he was unable to keep his medical and stopped flying in the 70's. I had always had an interest in flying and was able to become a pilot after retirement. My plan was to be able to fly with my Dad.

Unfortunately he passed away before I completed my training, but we were able to fly a couple times with an instructor. Currently I'm in a non-profit with Modesto Vapor Trails and three of us own a Grumman Tiger which is hangered at the Modesto Airport. I have been a co-owner for the past 2 years with Modesto Vapor Trails. MVP has been a non-profit partnership at Modesto Airport since the 1960's. Until this last year, when we bought the Tiger, the group owned a 1959 Cessna 150 which has been hangered at Modesto and maintained by Pacific Aviation since that time. The Tiger that we purchased has also been hangered and maintained at Modesto for around 20 years.

2. I would like to be a voting member of the committee to support general aviation and the Modesto Airport. We are fortunate to have a towered airport at Modesto. Many cities our size do not have the airport facilities that we enjoy. We are blessed with a towered airport although Modesto doesn't currently have commercial airlines carrying passengers to and from Modesto. I would like to promote growth in general aviation and ensure that we continue to be a well-managed and maintained airport.

3. There are several things that I like about the airport. I appreciate that it is a towered airport. I believe that flying at a towered airport provides additional safety and support. I appreciate that we have a number of hangers. Our Cessna 150 and now our Tiger are in very good condition and much of that is due to keeping them hangered. I appreciate that we have both self-service and full service fuel. Our runways and taxi ways are well maintained with good striping and lights. I would like to see an increase in pilot training at our airport. L&J Aviation is relatively new to the airport and I would support them, and encourage pilot training. My wife and I appreciate the rest room, and it is nice to have a location to wash our plane. I would like to improve the paving around some of the hangers. There are large cracks that are developing. Recently sealant was applied which has helped, but will need ongoing maintenance. I would also like to see our hanger doors serviced. Some of the hanger doors are very hard to slide open. I also recommend that we improve the approach to runway 28 left. The trees have grown and are becoming a hazard. It is difficult to fly the PAPI approach due to the tall trees.

Thank you for the opportunity to be considered for the Airport Advisory Committee. #9..

PUBLIC COMMENT IN PERSON
 Gladys Williams spoke regarding the topic of equity, highlighting the case of an African-American individual working in the cannabis industry who has successfully completed the equity program. Despite this, they are facing challenges in securing a retail license, which she sees as contrary to the goals of the equity program. Williams emphasized the importance of preventing systemic racism and ensuring that AfricanAmericans have equal opportunities to succeed in the industry, particularly in owning dispensaries. She urged the leaders to consider fairness and equity for all.  Wendy Bird addressed the Council, expressing gratitude for the support she received during her time away and noting she is doing much better. She acknowledged the progress made on the Equity Program, which the NAACP originally brought to the city’s attention. Wendy echoed Gladys Williams' concerns about the challenges African-Americans face, emphasizing the difficulty of being Black, including being the last to be hired and the first to be fired. She highlighted the need for the equity program to ensure that African-Americans have opportunities to become business owners, particularly in the cannabis industry. Wendy thanked City officials for their efforts but stressed that more discussions and work are needed to fully achieve equity.  Loretta Carhart raised several concerns, starting with a question about whether there is a law in Modesto regarding building on property lines, noting she had not received a complete answer previously. She also mentioned issues with tree trimmings near her house, where the property owners did not clean up properly, and expressed frustration over a building constructed incorrectly on a property line, which she has complained about for years without resolution. Loretta then discussed her personal experiences, including mistreatment related to her health, her time in the military, and the effects of narcotic medications prescribed to her. She mentioned her decision to stop taking medications and criticized the way narcotics affect people. Loretta shared an incident in which she was arrested for allegedly stealing records, questioning how it would have been possible to walk out of a store with the items. She concluded by thanking the Council.
 Kevin McCarthy expressed concern over the lack of updates from the Council regarding the status of the ACE train project. He explained that while the project, including the train station remodel, had been approved, progress stalled due to issues with underground cables. The City failed to obtain permission from the cable owners to lay tracks over them, leading to a stalemate in negotiations. McCarthy emphasized the importance of the ACE train for Modesto's future, believing it would greatly improve the local economy, similar to how the arrival of commuter rail transformed Walnut Creek. He argued that bringing train and airline services to Modesto would attract corporate investment, boost growth, and alleviate issues like poverty and homelessness.

McCarthy concluded by asking for an update on the project, expressing his desire for Modesto to become a destination and a central hub in California. #10..

COUNCIL COMMENTS & REPORTS
Councilmember Bavaro shared that, along with Council member Ricci, they attended a forum addressing the impact of illegal activities in smoke shops across Modesto. The forum, facilitated by California Board and Legal Cannabis Regulation Director Zack Javon and hosted by Stanislaus County Supervisor Chance Condit and San Joaquin County Supervisor Tom Patti, revealed troubling findings. Over the past three years, local cannabis stakeholders gathered evidence showing that 54 out of 61 smoke shops in Modesto were involved in illegal cannabis sales, gambling, weapons violations, and methamphetamine-related activities. This evidence was given to the Modesto Police Department, which, in collaboration with the California Department of Tax and Administration, conducted raids resulting in eight arrests and the seizure of illegal firearms, gambling machines, and other items. Bavaro highlighted that many smoke shops were selling cannabis products disguised as popular food and candy items to appeal to children, and even a 12-year-old was caught selling cannabis products. He emphasized that these shops are a public health and safety concern, as they are only required to have a basic business license to operate.

Councilmember Wright reported that in August, the Downtown Street Team volunteered 412 hours, removing nearly 10,000 pounds of trash from Modesto’s streets and parks.

Two team members secured housing, and one found employment. The Berberian Center served 151 new individuals, with housing support provided to several. The Gospel Mission assisted 66 women and children through its safe sleeping site. Additionally, 35 affordable housing units, including some for veterans and workforce housing, were opened on Third Street after years of planning.

Councilmember Ricci echoed Councilmember Bavaro's concerns about the out-of-control smoke shops in Modesto, noting that Governor Newsom recently signed an emergency provision banning the sale of cannabis and THC-infused products across the state. Ricci highlighted that most of the 70 smoke shops in Modesto are likely selling cannabis and expressed the need for the City to take action against illegal sales, as well as to protect children from drugs like mushrooms and meth being sold there. He also addressed the tragic accident on Highway 132, which claimed two lives, including a baby, and urged the Council to collaborate with the County and State to address the safety issues on the road.

Lastly, Ricci shared excitement about the City's 150th anniversary mural project, inviting local artists to submit bids, with the deadline being November 15.

Councilmember Williams shared updates on recent events. He attended Constitution Day at Sherwood School and Stanford School, where he spoke to students about the possibility of becoming lawmakers. He also highlighted an employee appreciation event in Modesto, where staff enjoyed activities and lunch. Williams noted the completion of seven supportive housing units on California Avenue, facilitated by StanCo, and praised their swift progress. He also announced an upcoming Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, organized by the Modesto Police Department and the clergy, as well as a suicide prevention event at MJC. Lastly, Williams acknowledged recipients of the American #10..

Monthly Budget Adjustment Report

EXHIBIT A
FISCAL YEAR 2023-24

FINANCE DEPARTMENT-AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT
 A budget adjustment in the amount of $2,694,652 is necessary to establish a transfer out from Fund 1390 (American Rescue Grants Fund (ARPA)) to Fund 0100 (General Fund) to account for the cumulative interest earnings in Fund 1390. The ARPA guidelines state that the interest earned on funds does not need to be kept within the fund or solely spent on ARPA eligible projects. Therefore, the interest earned will be transferred to the General Fund for use there on an annual basis.
 A budget adjustment is necessary in the amount of $395,304 to establish the transfer out from Project 101401 to the Information Technology Fund (5230) for the oracle implementation costs. The transfer is being completed to book the oracle cloud infrastructure asset in the Information Technology Fund and account for the implementation costs that were funded by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds.

MEASURE H
 A budget adjustment in the amount of $214,000 is necessary in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Measure H spending plan to re-appropriate salary savings in the year for the additional pruning crew to the outside contractor – tree services as additional funding was needed for tree removal and stump grinding services in the year. There are sufficient funds available due to vacancies during the year to re-appropriate funds and the overall Measure H spending plan allocation is not changing.

UTILITIES
 A budget adjustment is necessary in the amount of $340,702 to increase the transfer to the Water Grants Fund (4140) for Project 101112 – Prop 1 Nitrate/Arsenic/Uranium from the Water Fund (4100). Additionally, the grant funding for the project needs to be reduced by the same amount. The transfer will cover discretionary expenditures on the project and the project will be closed.
 A budget adjustment in the amount of $176,414 is necessary to increase the transfer from the Water Fund (4100) to the Water 2008 Water Refunding Revenue COP (Certificate of Participation) 2008 Series Fund (4130) to fund the increase in the annual debt service. The increase in cost is due to the variable rate debt which was higher than previously expected and due to an increase in the amount held at the debt reserve account which reduced the cash on hand.

A budget adjustment is necessary to reallocate budget from the FIN - Utility Assistance Program to the UTL - Administration cost center. This cost center should only house the expenses related to the assistance program. The cost allocation should be applied to Administration for the overall oversight of funds including the assistance program.

A budget adjustment is necessary to increase the budget for discretionary accounts for cost center 14160 - Infrastructure Financing Program (IFP). The adjustment is also recognizing revenue anticipated in FY 24-25. In doing a review of the budget, there were some accounts that were not included as part of the adopted budget. The variance between revenue and expenses will be funded by cost recovery from DCAs, involving HUD entitlement and State grant funding, and revenue generated in 14160 for work related to various Community Facilities Districts with costs recovered through fee mechanisms of the CFDs.

A budget adjustment in the amount of $50,000 to appropriate revenue, expenditures, transfer in the Special Aviation und related to Federal Aviation Administration grant 3- 06-0153-046-2024 (AIP-046)/ Total grant is $54,000 with a 10% local math.

A budget adjustment is necessary to reallocate a portion of the CTGY-CIP task to CON task in order to processing final invoices on the CON task line. There is a net zero effect on the overall budget.

A budget adjustment is necessary to move the training budget from various cost centers within Fund 5230 - Information Technology to the IT Administration cost center.

The movement is being completed so that all training expenses for the department can be tracked in one area. The overall IT Fund budget is not changing.

A budget adjustment is necessary to create a new task for tracking on the project.

Funds are being moving from the AUC-EDA task to create a new task for activity related to the Water Storage and Banking Feasibility Study. #12..

CONTACT: Michael Sacuskie, Assistant City Engineer, [email protected], (209) 571-5552
DESCRIPTION:

Consider accepting Engineering and Planning Document Reports related to bicyclist, pedestrian, and school zone safety: Systemic Safety Analysis Report (SSAR), Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP), Non-Motorized Master Plan Update and School Safety Program Study. (Funding Source: State Systemic Safety Analysis Report (SSAR) Grant, Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and Local Measure L Funds)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:

The recommended action is consistent with the City of Modesto 2020-2025 Strategic Plan Goal D, Ensure Safe, Efficient, and Reliable Infrastructure.

BACKGROUND:

Over the past several years City staff has taken a pro-active approach in evaluating roadway networks to identify potential improvements focused on enhancing pedestrian and bicyclist safety throughout the City of Modesto and particularly in school zones. City staff applied for grant funds for the Systemic Safety Analysis Report (SSAR) program, Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP), and dedicated Local Measure L funds for the Non-Motorized Master Plan Update and the School Safety Program Study.

Systemic Safety Analysis Report (SSAR) – The City of Modesto submitted an application to the State of California for $225,000 in State grant funds and was one of 27 applicants selected out of 79 applications to receive funding. The goal of the SSAR is to utilize a defined set of criteria to proactively focus on evaluating roadway networks to identify potential improvements to increase pedestrian and bicycle safety. By performing a collision and roadway network analysis, this project had the goal of developing recommendations and systemic countermeasures that could be applied at similar intersections and roadway corridors throughout the City of Modesto.
