COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:

April 8, 2025
Date: March 12, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Bill Sandhu, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Airport Advisory Committee, Appointment of Christopher Fox CONTACT: Marisol Navarro, Airport Manager [email protected] 209-577-5319 DESCRIPTION:

Consider approving the appointment of Christopher Fox to the Modesto City-County Airport Advisory Committee for a four-year term with an expiration date of June 30, 2029. (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 Public-at-large position is currently vacant as the former member, James McKay, formally resigned on November 16, 2024. The AAC recently underwent an application process less than a year ago to fill the position of Small Aircraft Owner/G.A which was set to be vacant on May 30, 2024. We received applications from twelve candidates for this position. Due to the sudden resignation of James McKay and the recent number of AAC applications received, staff decided to ask the applicants who were not chosen for the position of Small Aircraft owner if they would consider the Public-At-Large role, and four applicants expressed interest. #7..

Airport Advisory Committee, Appointment of Christopher Fox

Page 2 of 2 ends

At the last Airport Advisory Committee meeting on January 16, 2025, a redacted matrix detailing all four applicant entries were provided to the committee and reviewed to be voted on. AAC members provided their vote via email, with a majority of AAC member votes for Christopher Fox. The AAC selected Christopher Fox as the most qualified candidate for the position.

Christopher has been a pilot and user of the Modesto Airport for the last five years. He is a frequent user of the services and businesses at the Airport as well. Christopher is enthusiastic and passionate about aviation with a deep appreciation for the aviation community in Modesto.

He is committed to fostering its growth and is eager to see the airport expand.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

This item was presented to the Appointments Committee on March 5, 2025, and was recommended to forward to Council for approval.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff Recommendations:

Resolution approving the appointment of Christopher Fox to the Modesto City-County Airport Advisory Committee for the position of Public-At-Large for a four-year term with an expiration date of June 30, 2029.

CITY OF MODESTO

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:

April 8, 2025
Date: March 11, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Bill Sandhu, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Four Appointments to the Blight Abatement Advisory Committee CONTACT: Myriah Hill, Solid Waste Supervisor, [email protected], 209-577-5495 DESCRIPTION:

Consider approving the appointment of four vacancies to the City of Modesto Blight Abatement Advisory Committee for a four-year term with an expiration date of December 31, 2028. (Funding Source: Not Applicable)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:

The recommended action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Area of Focus: Governance and Service Delivery: “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 City of Modesto experiences blight in both public and private spaces. This includes illegal dumping of trash and large items such as mattresses, appliances, tires, green waste, vehicles, machine parts, illegal encampments, tagging, broken windows, unkempt properties, abandoned shopping carts, inoperable vehicles, and overgrown yards and properties. All contribute to blight in our community and can result in environmental, health, or safety issues for Modesto residents.

In 2019, during the Strategic Planning sessions with community members, a major theme was dissatisfaction regarding blight throughout the City. On December 10, 2019, by Resolution No. 2019-555, City Council approved the Blight Abatement Strategy, which included the creation of a blight abatement taskforce comprised of public and private stakeholders that will make recommendations to the City regarding program improvements, potential funding opportunities, and support increasing volunteerism.

On October 13, 2020, by Resolution No. 2020-428, City Council approved the formation of the Blight Abatement Advisory Committee (BAAC) and solicited membership of the committee’s nine voting members. According to the Blight Abatement Strategy and the BAAC bylaws, the group acts in an advisory capacity to the City Council and City Manager in matters pertaining to #8..

City Council, April 8, 2025
Four Appointments to the Blight Abatement Advisory Committee

Page 2 of 3 ends

blight and blight abatement efforts, promoting public engagement, blight program improvements, and potential related funding and volunteer opportunities.

DISCUSSION:

The BAAC is made up of seven Committee members who reside in Modesto, two members who reside in Stanislaus County, and one non-voting member appointed from City Council.

Currently, the BAAC has four vacancies, two of which are for Modesto residents and two for Stanislaus County residents.

During a recent revitalization of the BAAC, the City’s Community and Media Relations Team led a 6-week online recruitment campaign beginning on July 14, 2024; staff posted information about the committee to social media and contacted community groups directly as part of this campaign. This was a strategy designed to generate interest and encourage community members to apply. Since this push, the City has received 14 applications of which 13 are eligible to hold the position for registered electors of Modesto. No applications were received for the two vacant positions for registered electors of Stanislaus County. On February 5, 2025, by Resolution No. 2025-54, City Council approved an update to the BAAC bylaws that states that “in the event that no applications are received for the County positions, a registered elector of the City may be elected to fill the positions for one term.” Of the 13 qualified candidates, two have been appointed to the Committee and 11 remain for consideration. Having no applications for County positions, these vacancies will be filled by the available candidates.

An email was sent to each qualified applicant inviting them to attend the BAAC meetings. Three applicants have attended meetings Kathryn Hall-Boyer, Jeremy Brown, and Joshua Navarro.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

On March 5, 2025, the Appointments Committee recommended the appointment of Kathryn Hall-Boyer and Joshua Navarro to the two positions of registered electors of Modesto and the appointment of Jack Leguria and Jeremy Brown to fill the two positions of registered electors of Stanislaus County with terms expiring December 31, 2028, and to forward the item to Council for approval.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff Recommendations:

Resolution approving the appointments of Kathryn Hall-Boyer, Joshua Navarro, Jack Leguria, and Jeremy Brown to the Blight Abatement Advisory Committee for a four-year term with an expiration date of December 31, 2028.

I have been working with the Patterson Unified School District for 8 years in the after school program. While working in the after school program I have gathered students and we have participated in community service, collaborating with the City of Patterson and either planting trees, community cleanups, or taking in part of our Arbor Day celebrations. Aside from our collaboration with the city I formed a Green Initiative with the district and created a Green Team where we reduced our carbon footprint by 74% within a school year.

I have been actively involved in community activities and civic organizations, partnering with the city of Patterson Recreation Department to incorporate our community garden into local schools. Additionally, I have collaborated with Host House and the United Community Foundation in Grayson. As the Patterson Unified Green Team ambassador for the expanded learning program, I have established green teams at each school site within our district. These teams address environmental issues, work with site administrators, and contribute to campus beautification and cleanup efforts.

What interest me in this position is to be apart of a bigger mission and serving my community and its needs. I love living in Modesto and serving my community and if I can get the chance to be apart of a bigger effort in making sure Modesto is clean and a safe community for everyone, I’d love to be apart of that mission.

I’d bring a wealth of qualities, experience, and expertise to the Board, Commission, or Committee. My deep-rooted commitment to community engagement and environmental sustainability is evident through my partnerships with the city of Patterson Recreation Department, Host House, and United Community Foundation in Grayson. As the Patterson Unified Green Team ambassador, I have successfully led initiatives that established green teams across the district, focusing on environmental issues and campus beautification.

My leadership in these roles demonstrates my ability to collaborate effectively, implement sustainable projects, and engage with diverse stakeholders.

Additionally, my lifelong residence in California and my dedication to addressing key state issues equip me with a comprehensive understanding of the community's needs and the innovative strategies required to address them. #8..

I have known about Modesto's blight abatement efforts in the past (mostly from my time with MPD), but had not considered joining any city committees until I participated in the first ever Stanislaus County Political Leadership Academy. After the StanCoPLA, Megan Belair encouraged me to apply, stating I would be a good fit and be able to contribute in positive ways.

As a teenager, I had the opportunity to participate in numerous service projects in West Modesto focused on assisting our community neihghbors with projects they were unable to complete due to health issues or a lack of financial/material resources. In my adult life, my wife and I had the privilege of getting involved with an organization called Safe Families for Children which aims to keep families together through temporary periods of crisis by offering respite childcare. As a father raising my children in Modesto, I am looking for more opportunities to get involved in community activities and civic organizations in order to positively contribute to our community and demontrate the importance of civic participation and service to my children.

I am interested in participating the Blight Abatement Committee because I truly believe our city can continue growing while simultaneously working together to make Modesto a place where it's community neighbors thrive in peace and prosperity. Studies have shown the physical environment in which a person lives has a significant effect on that person's wellness and sense of belonging in a community. I want our city to be a place where people belong and are able to experience wholistic wellness. We need to do more to foster a city of beauty and peace.

First and foremost, I was born and have grown up in Modesto. My wife and I are now raising our three children here. As a long time resident, I know Modesto has experienced some pains associated with growth. The amount of trash and debris visible today is one obvious symptom. Yet, fond memories of Modesto and the pride it's citizens have had are still within reach. I also have the opportunity to regularly meet people from all walks of life as a Chaplain working at Doctors Medical Center. My role provides me with opportunities to learn about people from different cultures, enconomic levels, relgions, and everything in-between. As a result, I know what it takes to stop, listen, and learn from others in order to work towards an outcome which will benefit the most people possible. Additionally, for approximately four years (when I was much younger) I worked for the Modesto Police Department as a Police Assistant, and then later on as an Animal Control Officer. Needless to say, I spent many hours on the streets of Modesto interacting with our community neighbors, getting to know some of the challenges our city faces up close and personal. I believe our city still has so much potential to be a place where our neighbors, their loved ones, and families thrive in an environment which is clean, beautiful, and peaceful. I believe the challenges our city faces related to blight need solutions which are born out of relationship. Our community neighbors may not begin to care more for our city until they know how much they are care about.

PUBLIC COMMENT IN PERSON
 Betty Santos, Modesto resident, invited the Mayor and City Council to a "Cars and Coffee" event she organized in collaboration with the Modesto Police Department and Starbucks. She worked with a new local business, community members, and law enforcement to bring the event to life. The event welcomes classic cars, hot rods, lowriders, and car clubs. She encouraged Council Members to attend, highlighting efforts to secure donations for coffee, donuts, and pastries.
 Loretta Carhart spoke about an unexplained illness affecting memory, recalling memory lapses while working in the 1950s. She also questioned the ruling of her father’s 1960s death as a suicide and raised concerns about medications causing amnesia. She urged officials to investigate similar cases.
 Danielle Morgart, representing Assemblyman Juan Alanis, provided a legislative update.

She highlighted five bills being heard in committees this month, including AB 387 on probation officers' jury service, AB 240 on higher education access, and three public safety bills. She encouraged officials to reach out with any questions.  Kevin McClarty from District 1 raised concerns about the City Council's legislative process, questioning the disconnect between Council Members' public statements on social media and the official meeting agendas. He sought more transparency on how items are proposed, who initiates motions, and how decisions are made, emphasizing the need for clearer public insight into Council actions.
 Emerson Drake spoke on two issues. First, he criticized City Officials for disregarding a past voter decision against extending sewer and water lines north of Kiernan and pushing forward the Canal Warehouse project despite public opposition. Second, he raised concerns about what he believes are change to the Appointments Committee appointment process, and concerns with transparency on attendance records and skipping reinterviews for second terms limits accountability. He urged the Council to reinstate full disclosure of Committee Members' performance.

On or about July 1 of each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall identify the current Assessor’s Parcel numbers for all Parcels of Taxable Property. The Administrator shall also: (i) assign each Parcel of Taxable Property to the appropriate Development Class; (ii) determine whether each Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Property is Developed Property or Undeveloped Property, (iii) for Developed Property, categorize each Parcel as Single Family Detached Property, Single Family Attached Property, or Other Property, (iv) for Parcels of Single Family Attached Property, determine the number of Units on each Parcel, (v) for Other Property, determine the Acreage of each Parcel, and (vi) determine the Maintenance Special Tax Requirement.

For Single Family Attached Property, the number of Units shall be determined by referencing the relevant Development Plan. If, in any Fiscal Year, an Assessor’s Parcel includes both Developed Property and Undeveloped Property, the Administrator shall determine the acreage associated with the Developed Property, subtract this acreage from the total Acreage of the Assessor’s Parcel, and use the remaining acreage to calculate the Special Tax that will apply to Undeveloped Property within the Assessor’s Parcel.

The Special Tax shall then be calculated for Developed Property on the Parcel, and the total Special Tax levied on the Assessor’s Parcel shall be the sum of the Special Taxes determined separately for the Undeveloped Property and Developed Property on the Parcel.

All Successor Parcels are Single Family Detached Lots If the Parcels created by a recorded Subdivision Map are all Single Family Detached Lots, the Administrator shall apply the following steps to allocate the Maximum Special Taxes assigned to the Original Parcel to each of the Successor Parcels created by the subdivision:

Step 1: Identify the Maximum Special Taxes assigned to the Original Parcel; Step 2: Divide the Maximum Special Taxes from Step 1 by the number of Single Family Detached Lots created by the Subdivision Map to determine the Maximum Special Taxes for each Single Family Detached Lot.

CFD No. 2025-1 (KBPS #2) - 12 - ORDINANCE NO. 3791-C.S.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 8, 2025
b. No Successor Parcels are Single Family Detached Lots If none of the Successor Parcels created by recordation of a Subdivision Map are Single Family Detached Lots, the Administrator shall apply the following steps to allocate the Maximum Special Taxes assigned to the Original Parcel to each of the Successor Parcels:

Step 1: Identify the Maximum Special Taxes assigned to the Original Parcel; Step 2: Determine the total Acreage of Taxable Property created by subdivision of the Original Parcel;
Step 3: Divide the Maximum Special Taxes from Step 1 by the Acreage from Step 2 to calculate Maximum Special Taxes per acre;
Step 4: Multiply the per-acre Maximum Special Taxes from Step 3 by the Acreage in each Successor Parcel to calculate the Maximum Special Taxes for each Successor Parcel.

If, after subdivision of an Original Parcel, a Successor Parcel is further subdivided, the Successor Parcel shall be treated as an Original Parcel for purposes of allocating Maximum Special Taxes pursuant to Section C.2a, C.2b, or C.2c, as appropriate. c. Some, But Not All, Successor Parcels are Single Family Detached Lots If a Subdivision Map divides an Original Parcel into Successor Parcels, of which some are Single Family Detached Lots and some are not, the Administrator shall apply the following steps to allocate the Maximum Special Taxes assigned to the Original Parcel to each of the Successor Parcels:

Step 1: Identify the Maximum Special Taxes assigned to the Original Parcel; Step 2: Determine the total Acreage of Taxable Property created by subdivision of the Original Parcel;
Step 3: Determine the total Acreage of Single Family Detached Property created by the subdivision by taking the sum of the Acreage in the individual Single Family Detached Lots;
Step 4: Divide the Maximum Special Taxes from Step 1 by the Acreage calculated in Step 2 to calculate Maximum Special Taxes per Acre; Step 5: Multiply the per-acre Maximum Special Taxes calculated in Step 4 by the Acreage of Single Family Detached Property calculated in Step 3 to determine the total Maximum Special Taxes to be assigned to the Single Family Detached Property created by the subdivision; #10..

CFD No. 2025-1 (KBPS #2) - 13 - ORDINANCE NO. 3791-C.S.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 8, 2025
Step 6: Divide the amount calculated in Step 5 by the number of Single Family Detached Lots created by the subdivision to determine the Maximum Special Taxes for each Single Family Detached Lot;
Step 7: Multiply the per-acre Maximum Special Taxes calculated in Step 4 by the Acreage of each Successor Parcel that is not Single Family Detached Property to calculate the Maximum Special Taxes for such Parcels.

After each reallocation of the Maximum Special Taxes upon subdivision or reconfiguration of Original Parcels, the sum of the Maximum Special Taxes assigned to Successor Parcels shall never be less than the Maximum Special Taxes assigned to the Original Parcels prior to such reallocation.

D. ESCALATION OF MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAXES

1. One-Time Facilities Special Tax
Beginning in January 2025 and each January thereafter, the Maximum One-Time Facilities Special Tax assigned to each Parcel shall be adjusted by the Escalation Factor. Each annual adjustment of the Maximum One-Time Facilities Special Tax shall become effective on the subsequent July 1.

2. Annual Maintenance Special Tax
Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall determine the Maintenance Special Tax Requirement for that Fiscal Year. The Annual Maintenance Special Tax shall then be levied on all Parcels of Taxable Property as follows:

Step 1: The Annual Maintenance Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of Developed Property within the CFD up to 100% of the Maximum Annual Maintenance Special Tax for each Parcel for such Fiscal Year; #10..

F. COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES
The One-Time Facilities Special Tax shall be collected prior to a Building Permit being issued for any residential or non-residential structure on Taxable Property and shall be immediately delinquent if not so paid.

The Annual Maintenance Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that the City may directly bill, collect at a different time or in a different manner, and/or collect delinquent Annual Maintenance Special Taxes through foreclosure or other available methods. The Annual Maintenance Special Tax will continue to be levied and collected unless and until the City determines that Annual Maintenance Special Tax revenues are no longer needed to pay for Authorized Services.

G. EXEMPTIONS
No Special Taxes shall be levied on Public Property or Owners Association Property, as defined herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in any Fiscal Year, a Parcel of Public Property is converted to private use, such Parcel shall be subject to the levy of Special Taxes. In such case, the City shall determine the appropriate Maximum Special Taxes for the Parcel based on the land uses to be constructed on the Parcel.

DeAnna Christensen, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: Preservation of Historical City Council Records Services CONTACT: Diane Nayares-Perez, City Clerk, [email protected], 209-577- 5398
DESCRIPTION:

Consider approving the purchase for Preservation of Historical City Council Records Services with Kofile Technologies, Inc., Sacramento, CA in the amount not to exceed $101,649. (Funding Source: General Fund)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:

This item advances the City of Modesto 2020-2025 Strategic Plan Area: Governance and Service Delivery: “build community trust in City government through responsive, transparent and efficient service delivery”; Goal J: “build a high-performance organization”.

BACKGROUND:

The Clerk’s Office has undertaken a comprehensive preservation initiative aimed at safeguarding all historically significant documents housed within the Clerk’s Library. This extensive project involved the implementation of cutting-edge digitization solutions, which included the scanning and image enhancement of books dating back to 1884, ensuring their digital preservation for future generations.

By statute1, the City Clerk is required to maintain the index of Minutes, Ordinances, and Resolutions adopted by the legislative body. These must be maintained by the City Clerk and retained permanently. Our collection of the legislative body’s records (red handwritten historical books), and other historical documents are currently at risk of deterioration due to environmental factors such as humidity, light exposure, disasters, etc. To address this, we propose preservation through the following:
 Conservation treatments that provide surface cleaning which removes materials and deposits—e.g., dust, soot, airborne particulate, sediment from water damage, 1 Modesto City Charter, Section 901 (b) and (c) Office of the City Clerk; Government Code Section 34090(e); Government Code Section 40806, and Government Code Section. 40801. #12..

mold/mildew residue, active micro-organic growth, insect detritus, or biological or mineral contaminants. Mending tears and guard burns and removal of any non-archival repairs, adhesives, residual glues, or fasteners.
 Deacidification treatments which neutralizes acidic inks and paper by providing an alkaline reserve (after pH and compatibility testing).
 Encapsulating each page in archival-grade materials as the Lay-Flat Archival Polyester Pocket to protect them from physical damage and preserve their integrity for future generations.
 In addition, rebinding each book and replacing with Disaster Safe Binder (DSB) covers that provide progressive protection from exposure to fire, water, Relative Humidity (RH), atmospheric pollutants, ultraviolet (UV) light, impact, and drops.

The proposed project offers numerous benefits, including:

1. Preservation of our City’s historical and official records in compliance with archival standards and best practices.

2. Mitigation of risks associated with physical deterioration, fire incidents, and other environmental hazards.

3. Enhanced accessibility and usability of records through digitization, facilitating efficient information retrieval and research.

4. Compliance with the City Charter, Municipal Code, Records Retention Policy, and the Government Code that all require the City Clerk to retain the City’s Legislative Records permanently.

DISCUSSION:

The City Manager authorized the Purchasing Manager on February 12, 2025, to solicit the procurement for Preservation of Historical City Council Records Services for the General Fund – City Clerk’s Office. Kofile is the sole source provider to offer services to protect these critical historical records by offering areas of professional-level service still not available by other vendors. Kofile is the developer, manufacturer, distributer and owns the patent on the Lay-Flat Archival Polyester Pocket and DSB. They provide a superior solution to address the key records management for managing these documents and the preservation required to manage the security of these documents.

Modesto Municipal Code Section 8-3.203 generally requires all purchases, which meet or exceed $100,000 for material, equipment, or contractual services to follow formal bid procedures. However, MMC 8-3.204(b) provides that a purchase may be exempted from the City’s formal bidding requirement where the Purchasing Agency’s requirements can be met solely by a single article or process. Kofile is the sole source provider who has the experience to maintain all of the requirements for the preservation needed to ensure the security and safety of these City Council records. Therefore, staff recommends the Preservation of Historical City Council Records Services of this Agreement to Kofile should be exempt from the formal bidding procedures in accordance with Modesto Municipal Code 8-3.204(b).

FISCAL IMPACT:

During the budget adoption process, members of the City Council expressed their support for the City Clerk’s Office obtaining services for the preservation of City Council records. With this direction and support, the City Clerk’s Office has been able to identify existing operating budget savings to fund this project and the services required to preserve these important historical documents. Funding for the agreement in the amount of $101,649 will be covered by existing #12..

CITY OF MODESTO

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:

April 8, 2025
Date: March 6, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Allison Van Guilder, Deputy City Manager
Christina Alger, Director Human Resources
Diane Nayares-Perez, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Annual Report and Overview for Citizen Advisory Boards, Commissions, and Committees
CONTACT: Allison Van Guilder, Deputy City Manager
[email protected], 209-577-5228
DESCRIPTION:

Consider accepting the 2024 Annual Report of the City’s Citizen Advisory Boards, Commissions, and Committees. (Funding Source: Not Applicable)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:

The recommended action supports the City of Modesto’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan Initiative:

Service and Delivery Goal I: Promote trust and engagement between the community and the City; and Goal J: Build a high-performance organization.

BACKGROUND
In early 2024, the City implemented a new appointments process program to ensure consistency, enhance understanding of committee member roles, and promote uniformity across the City’s boards, commissions, and committees. The City oversees 23 advisory bodies that provide valuable input and guidance on various issues affecting the community. Recognizing the importance of these groups, staff identified a need for a structured approach to evaluate and document their contributions.

One of the key components of this new process is the requirement for an annual report prepared by each board, commission, and committee with the assistance of their staff liaisons. This report is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of each advisory body’s mission, work, and accomplishments while maintaining transparency and accountability. #13..

Page 2 of 3 ends

DISCUSSION:

The annual report will serve as a critical tool for understanding the impact of the City’s citizen advisory bodies. Each report will include the following elements:

Mission Statement: A clear and concise description of the advisory body’s purpose.

Member Composition: A list of the members, and vacancies.

Historical Background: An overview of the advisory body’s history, including its establishment and purpose.

Highlight of Activities: A summary of key achievements and contributions over the past year.

Meetings Held and Canceled: Information on the frequency of meetings and any notable trends in cancellations over the past year.

Member Attendance: Attendance records for each member, highlighting their level of participation.

The annual reports will be presented to the Appointments Committee each March. After review and acceptance, the Committee will forward the reports to the City Council for formal acceptance.

This ensures that both the Committee and the Council have a clear understanding of the work and effectiveness of the City’s advisory boards, commissions and committees.

In addition to the annual report, staff will now provide an overview of the appointments process twice a year:

March: A summary of upcoming terms expiring, including information on members’ interest in continuing their service or vacancies that may need to be filled.

September: An overview of upcoming terms expiring, including similar details to aid in preparation for the upcoming term expirations.

This structured reporting and process will enhance the City’s ability to effectively manage its citizen advisory groups and ensure they are meeting their intended goals. The program also reinforces the City’s commitment to transparency, efficiency, and informed decision-making.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact related to this action.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

This item was presented to the Appointments Committee on March 5, 2025 and recommended to forward to Council for acceptance.

City of Modesto Boards, Commissions and Committes Annual Report Introduction
and Overview
Serving on a City Board, Commission, or Committee is an important way for the public to engage with their City government.

Citizen advisory groups are established by the City Council to assist in addressing specific issues and to promote direct community involvement in the decision-making process. These Boards, Commissions, and Committees (BCCs) provide valuable insights and recommendations that help shape policies, programs, and initiatives that affect our community.

In our City, a diverse range of BCCs contribute to local governance. Some of these groups provide recommendations on policies, while others have quasi-judicial responsibilities, such as the Planning Commission. These advisory bodies address critical topics including health and social services, public safety, land use, economic development, parks and recreation, and housing.

This combined Annual Report represents the collective efforts of all City advisory groups over the past year. Each BCC has prepared a summary of its activities detailing the number of meetings held, attendance records, key accomplishments, significant projects completed, and an updated roster. This report serves not only as an accountability measure to align with their mission and purpose but also as an opportunity to highlight the meaningful contributions made by each group.

The City has implemented a structured annual reporting process to ensure consistent and comprehensive documentation of advisory group activities and review of their purpose, functionality and opportunities for improvements. Moving forward, these reports will be presented to the City Council every March, providing an overview of the previous year’s accomplishments.

The City currently oversees a total of 23 advisory groups. Below is a list of all City Boards, Commissions, and Committees, including those not directly formed by the City, but where the City Council appoints representatives. 1 #13..

On March 8, 2022, City Council held a Public Hearing to adopt the Final Council District Map recommended by the Citizens’ Districting Commission.

Forward Together
Forward Together last met in 2022. Meets as needed. With the goal of stronger relationships and greater trust, Mayor Zwahlen has launched the Forward Together initiative – a community engagement process to hear from the public, develop a shared understanding, and explore solutions to improve the safety of our community.

• Reviewing any policies, standards or similar measures that the City uses to determine whether work funded by the tax shall be done "in-house" or through outside contracts; and, • Reviewing any other matter the Council deems appropriate related to any local transportation sales tax. The Council shall appropriate adequate funds for the work of the Commission.”

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
• In November of 2016, Stanislaus County voters approved a county-wide, 25-year, half-cent sales tax increase known as Measure L. The tax increase went into effect on April 1, 2017 and the City began receiving quarterly payments commencing in July, 2017. As stated on the ballot put before the voters, Measure L funds are to “provide funding for local transportation improvements including: fixing potholes/maintaining streets; improving emergency response; providing safe routes to schools; providing senior, veterans and disabled shuttle services; and improving safety/reducing traffic congestion on Highway 99/major streets.” As part of the impartial analysis for Measure L provided by the Stanislaus County Counsel, it was noted that Measure L creates an “Oversight Committee to review and monitor use of all tax revenue and to ensure that all funds are spent in accordance with the Expenditure Plan.” The ballot materials that were before the voters, stated that the functions of the Oversight Committee were to “review and monitor use of all tax revenue and to ensure that all funds are spent in accordance with [StanCOG’s] Expenditure Plan.” StanCOG adopted Ordinance #16-01 on June 22, 2016. This ordinance, known as the “Measure L: Local Roads First Transportation Funding Measure” established and implemented a retail transaction and use tax. Section 18 of Ordinance #16-01 established a Measure L Oversight Committee. Pursuant to the StanCOG Ordinance, this Committee “is responsible for oversight of the proper use of sales tax funds and implementation of the programs and projects set forth in the Expenditure Plan and making recommendations to the Board of the Authority.” The Committee is made up of one representative from Stanislaus County and one from each of the nine cities within Stanislaus County, including a representative from the City of Modesto. On October 4, 2016, Council approved Ordinance No. 3656-C.S. adding Chapter 10 to Title 8 of the Modesto Municipal Code to establish a Citizens’ Transportation Sales Tax Commission (Commission). The Commission was established for the purpose of providing oversight of the collection and spending of tax revenue from any local transportation sales tax specifically focused on the Modesto projects and spending. Pursuant to Citizen’s Transportation Sales Tax Commission Ordinance 3656-C.S. and adopted Bylaws, the Commission shall consist of eleven (11) qualified city residents. Strong consideration shall be given to composing the Commission of:
• 2 members from any bona fide local taxpayer’s association, • 1 member from any bona fide local nonpartisan political organization, • 2 members from bona fide Modesto Neighborhood Associations, • 1 member from any bona fide association representing business, • 1 member from a large business located in the City,
• 1 member from a small business located in the City,
• 2 members from a bona fide labor union with members residing in the City, • 1 member from a former Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury who has served in that role within the previous 5 years of his or her appointment.

On April 11, 2023, City Council approved Resolution No. 2023-169 adopting the Bylaws for the Measure L Citizen’s Transportation Sales Tax Commission. The adopted Bylaws provide the terms of office and allow for the reappointment for up to two terms.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
• In 1954, the Library Board was established to advise on matter related to the McHenry Public Library. Both the City of Modesto and Stanislaus County were engaged in supporting the library. In the early 1960's after a campaign to attract and promote cultural and community activities, it was renamed the Library and Culture Commission and had the Central Valley Art League, and the Citizens’ Cultural Center Committee.

After the opening of the Modesto-Stanislaus Library in 1971 and the McHenry Museum in 1974, the name was shortened to Modesto Culture commission. Since its inception, and perhaps due to the earlier agency collaboration, the Culture Commission has included a mix of Modesto residents and Stanislaus County residents. The current ratio is five City and two County.

HIGHLIGHTS OF ACTIVITES OF THE PAST YEAR
• Fact-finding for the City of Modesto City Flag Design contest with partnership from the City of Modesto Youth Commission

MISSION STATEMENT
• Each year, the Modesto Downtown Improvement District (DID) will execute a small number of high-impact projects that are strategic for downtown businesses and the overall downtown. Additionally, the board and executive director will hold a fundraiser once per year. The fundraiser and high-impact projects will be determined at the board's annual offsite strategic planning session. The executive director shall be formally evaluated at the offsite session, with primary consideration given to the director's success in implementing the prior year's projects.

BOARD ROLES

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
• The DID Advisory board was first established via ordinance in 1966 with the creation of the business improvement district which levies an additional mill tax on businesses operating within district boundaries.

For many years this body brought forward recommended expenditures for approval by the City Council, however in 2020 it was determined that the DID organization should function similarly to the Downtown Modesto Partnership and this resulted in the DID formally incorporating as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, with a memorandum of understanding also being approved to provide annual payments of the DID tax to the newly formed organization. Appointments to the board are approved directly by the City Council based on the recommendation of the current DID board members. 49 #13..

To better align with the goals of the City, on January 25, 2022, pursuant to Council Resolution No. 2022-054, the Commission was retitled from the Equal Opportunity/Disability Commission to the Equity Commission.

• Work with City staff to promote better youth services and to find solutions to concerns involving youth in the City of Modesto.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
• The City of Modesto Youth Commission was established in 1974 to provide young people the opportunity to participate in the governmental process, and act as liaison between the youth of Modesto and the City Council. It remained active through the end of the 2010 school year before falling victim to the impact of the 2009 recession which resulted in a reduction in general fund support for programming. In 2020, a group of local students engaged their peers to restore the Youth Commission and reached out to Mayor Zwahlen and Vice Mayor Escutia-Braaton. The Youth Commission was reinstated for the 2022-2023 school year.

HIGHLIGHTS OF ACTIVITES OF THE PAST YEAR
• Commissioners formulated 5 subcommittees, Outreach, Community Service, Social Media and Communications, DEI, and Leadership to steer their goals and projects. Commissioners were present at 7 City of Modesto events, with duties ranging from hosting a community booth, implementing a participation survey, event set up, and running a photo booth. Commissioners hosted the Hope Blooms clean up project for LoveModesto and then continued their efforts to nearby trails and pathways. At the conclusion of the 23- 24 term, Commissioners updated their bylaws to add 9 commissioner seats and extend seat terms to two years.

MEETINGS HELD OVER THE PAST YEAR
• The second Wednesday of each month at 4PM, October through June.

STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:

This project supports the City’s (2025-2026) Strategic Plan Initiatives: Achieve long-term financial stability: Pursue new and alternative revenue sources.

BACKGROUND:

State and federal governments allocate significant funding to municipalities through appropriations and grant programs, providing essential resources for local initiatives. However, these governments also enact legislation that may impose regulatory requirements on municipalities, often increasing operational costs and straining local resources. To navigate this complex legislative landscape effectively, municipalities must take a proactive approach by actively engaging with lawmakers, advocating for policies that align with their strategic priorities, and ensuring their interests are represented in legislative discussions. This includes taking official positions on proposed laws, providing testimony, closely monitoring legislative developments, and employing strategic advocacy to securing funding and support. By adopting clear legislative priorities, the City of Modesto strengthens its role in shaping policy, fostering collaboration with state and federal officials, and advancing the long-term goals outlined in the City’s Strategic Plan.

The City’s legislative priorities are shaped through a collaborative process that involves input from each department, ensuring that fiscal and policy needs are clearly identified to support effective program implementation. This legislative platform serves as a strategic tool to safeguard and advance the City’s interests by advocating for key programs, legislative #14..
