Leadership Modesto

I have been actively involved in community and civic organizations for many years, with a strong focus on service, youth development, and local engagement.

I currently serve on the Stanislaus County Library Advisory Board, where I help provide input on library services, community needs, and resource priorities to support access, education, and transparency.

Much of my community involvement has centered on youth sports and youth development, both locally and internationally. I serve as a Director with PONY International, supporting governance, program oversight, and positive youth development through organized sports. At the local level, I have held board and leadership roles with organizations such as Bel Passi Baseball, Enochs SSD, and Camp Fire USA, helping guide programs that emphasize teamwork, accountability, and community connection.

In addition, I am a participant in Leadership Modesto (Class of 2025), a program focused on civic leadership, local government, and regional issues. I have also Submission ID: 587e3e49-818a-43ee-8649-dc0e3359b037 Page 4/7 #7..
- 33 -
served in leadership roles with the Cal Poly Alumni Association, including as a Central Valley Director, supporting community engagement, education, and outreach initiatives.

Through these roles, I have developed a strong appreciation for civic responsibility, collaboration, and stewardship. I am committed to giving back to the Modesto community and contributing my time, experience, and perspective to organizations that strengthen our city and support its residents.

What interests me most about this position is the opportunity to serve the Modesto community by helping ensure transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship of public funds. Measure H represents a commitment made to voters, and I believe it is essential that those funds are monitored carefully and used in alignment with their intended purpose.

As a longtime Modesto resident, local business owner, and active community volunteer, I care deeply about the quality of services and infrastructure in our city.

This role allows me to contribute in a meaningful way by applying my experience in financial oversight, data review, and governance while remaining focused on the broader impact these decisions have on residents, families, and neighborhoods.

I am motivated by public service and value collaborative, nonpartisan work that strengthens trust between the City and the community. Serving on the Measure H Oversight Committee would allow me to give back to Modesto in a practical and constructive way, supporting informed decision-making and long-term community benefit.

I would bring a strong combination of analytical expertise, financial oversight experience, and a deep commitment to community service. Professionally, I have extensive experience reviewing data, budgets, and performance outcomes, ensuring accuracy, accountability, and transparency. As a local business owner and former senior leader in analytics and research, I am comfortable evaluating financial information, asking thoughtful questions, and assessing whether resources are being used effectively and as intended.

In addition to my professional background, I bring proven governance and leadership experience through years of service on boards, advisory committees, and volunteer organizations. These roles have strengthened my ability to collaborate, listen respectfully to diverse perspectives, and work toward consensus while keeping the broader community interest at the center of decisions. I understand the importance of preparation, follow-through, and ethical responsibility when serving in a public role.

Personally, I bring integrity, curiosity, and a service-oriented mindset. I care deeply about Modesto and value nonpartisan, constructive civic engagement. I approach oversight work with diligence, fairness, and a focus on long-term community benefit, and I would be committed to contributing my time, skills, and perspective to support the mission and responsibilities of the Committee.

Dear Selection Committee,
I am writing to express my interest in serving on the City of Modesto’s Measure H Oversight Committee. As a longtime Modesto resident, local business owner, and active community volunteer, I am deeply committed to ensuring that public resources are managed responsibly, transparently, and in a manner that benefits our community as intended.

I have spent many years engaged in community service and volunteer leadership at the local, regional, and international levels. Much of my volunteer work has centered on youth development and youth sports, where I have served in board and leadership roles supporting programs that promote teamwork, accountability, and positive community engagement. These experiences have strengthened my belief in public service and the importance of stewardship, oversight, and trust when managing funds that directly impact families and neighborhoods.

In addition to my volunteer service, I am the owner of a Modesto-based business and have extensive professional experience in analytics, budgeting, and operational oversight.

Throughout my career, I have been responsible for reviewing financial information, evaluating outcomes, and ensuring accountability to stakeholders—skills that align well with the responsibilities of the Measure H Oversight Committee. I value data-informed decision-making and understand the importance of clear reporting and public transparency.

I care deeply about Modesto and believe that strong communities are built through active participation and thoughtful oversight. Serving on the Measure H Oversight Committee would allow me to contribute my time, experience, and commitment to helping ensure these funds are used effectively and in accordance with voter intent.

Thank you for your consideration. I would be honored to serve the City of Modesto in this capacity and am happy to provide any additional information if needed.

Sincerely,

Explain how you learned about
the board or commission you are
applying for
I am currently on the committee.

Describe your involvement in
community activities and civic
organizations. (Do not list partisan
political parties.)
For the last 10 years I have coordinated cleanup efforts and volunteered in the Tuolumne River Regional Parka and Dry Creek Regional Park systems via Operation 9-2-99. I am currently the chair of the Tuolumne River Regional Park Citizens Advisory Committee and I serve as a member of the blight committee. In the past I served on the Code Enforcement Hearing Board. I am an advisor to the Tuolumne River Trust. Prior to Covid I helped coordinate a park event called Modesto RecFest and for the past two years I have helped to coordinate bringing NICA Norcal mountain bike race events to TRRP.

What is it about this position that
interests you?
I am interested in seeing the tax revenue make it way into our park system as well as police and fire resources to help improve life in Modesto. In working closely with all three of these agencies I know how a lack of resources keeps our city from realizing the potential we have to be a better city for residents in the future.

People in Modesto deserve to have safety and protection but also excellent amenities that make our quality of life rise here. I want to help steer us in that direction with this committee. I am personally deeply invested in these issues.

What qualities, experience, and
expertise would you bring to the
Board, Commission or
Committee?
I think communication skills are vital for any group conducting business along these lines and I pride myself on being a good communicator an listener.

Punctuality and respecting people's valuable time is important also. Being open to the ideas and opinions of others is important as well. Good leadership skills are necessary for successfully navigating this process to produce the results our city needs. I believe I have the qualities, experience, and expertise to serve on this board.

Qualifications
Grace Academy Christian Preschool, Local Planning Council, Safe Kids Stanislaus
This position interests me because I am deeply committed to supporting equitable, accessible, and community-centered development in the City of Modesto. Throughout my career in public service, I have worked closely with families, community organizations, government agencies, and local partners to strengthen programs that improve quality of life and expand opportunities for underserved populations. The Citizen Housing and Community Development Committee plays an important role in shaping how the City invests resources, addresses housing needs, and ensures that services remain inclusive and accessible to all residents—including individuals protected under Title II of the ADA, FEHA, the Rehabilitation Act, and related nondiscrimination laws.

My professional experience in fiscal oversight, program evaluation, community engagement, and governance aligns strongly with the committee’s mission. I value the City’s commitment to fairness, transparency, and accessibility, and I am motivated to contribute to decisions that support responsible use of public funds, responsive community programs, and equitable housing and development initiatives. Serving on this committee would allow me to apply my expertise in a meaningful way while giving back to the community I live in and care deeply about.

I bring a strong combination of leadership, fiscal accountability, and communitycentered experience that aligns closely with the goals of the Citizen Housing and Community Development Committee. Throughout my career as an Executive Director, Superintendent, and public-sector administrator, I have overseen multimillion-dollar budgets, reviewed audits, ensured compliance with federal and state regulations, and led cross-agency initiatives designed to improve services for diverse communities. These experiences have strengthened my ability to analyze data, interpret complex reports, and make balanced, transparent decisions.

I also bring excellent communication and collaboration skills, developed through years of working with community organizations, government agencies, school districts, and service providers. My work requires fairness, ethical decisionmaking, and a strong commitment to transparency—qualities essential to supporting equitable housing, community development, and accessible city programs.

In addition, I value and uphold nondiscrimination principles, including accessibility protections under Title II of the ADA, FEHA, the Rehabilitation Act, and Government Code section 11135. I strive to ensure that programs and services are inclusive, equitable, and designed to meet the needs of all residents.

Overall, I bring integrity, analytical strength, collaborative leadership, and a deep commitment to serving the Modesto community.

SUBJECT: Annual Report and Overview for Citizen Advisory Boards, Commissions, and Committees
CONTACT: Diane Nayares-Perez, CMC, City Clerk
[email protected], 209-577-5398
DESCRIPTION:

Consider accepting the 2025 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 2025-2026 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 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 #11..

body’s mission, work, and accomplishments while maintaining transparency and accountability.

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 Participation: Information on member attendance, 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 provides 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 decisionmaking. #11..

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.

In early 2025, the City implemented a structured annual reporting process to ensure consistent and comprehensive documentation of advisory group activities, as well as to review their purpose, functionality, and opportunities for improvement. These reports are presented every March, providing an overview of the previous year's accomplishments. This document constitutes the second annual report since the initiation of this process.

The City manages 23 advisory groups. This report lists all City Boards, Commissions, and Committees, including those not directly created by the City but where the City Council designates representatives. 2 #11..

MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Citizen’s Housing and Community Development Committee is to be responsible for providing overall review of the City of Modesto’s (City) housing and homelessness initiatives and making policy and funding recommendations which may include Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solution Grant (ESG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and other local, State, and Federal funded programs to the City Council.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The Citizen’s Housing and Community Development Committee was established by the Modesto City Council on August 25th, 1975. The primary purpose of this committee is to provide overall review and make recommendations to the City Council regarding the city’s HCDA program and its projects; to monitor and evaluate the entire program and subcommittee eƯectiveness; to involve citizens in the program; and to formulate and transmit recommendations regarding policy matters to the City Council.

HIGHLIGHTS OF ACTIVITIES OF THE PAST YEAR
Over the past year, the Citizen’s Housing and Community Development Committee has been vital in supporting aƯordable housing projects and homelessness initiatives in the community. Some major highlights to include this year would be the recommended approval of another Bridge Housing Project named Grace Gardens. Grace Gardens provides twelve (12) units to serve as a bridge for individuals experiencing homelessness in their eƯort to transition to aƯordable housing. In addition to Grace Gardens, the Committee has also worked to approve and welcome the start of new partnership with United Way of Stanislaus County and the Modesto Gospel Mission – the HopeWorks Program. Through this partnership, the City may continue with the important work and mission behind the Downtown Streets Team and expand on their legacy of providing the underserved community with the skills and resources that they need to be self-suƯicient – increasing their quality-of-life and promoting healthier habits. In 2025, the CH&CDC also recommended the approval of Turning Point Community Programs (TPCP) to administer a motel voucher program. TPCP is responsible for administering a voucher program where individuals who are experiencing unsheltered homelessness may access a five (5) night stay at a local motel where TPCP is able to provide critical case management to secure a referral to permanent housing. 25 Active City Committees

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 eƯect on April 1, 2017, and the City began receiving quarterly payments commencing July, 2017. 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 consists of nine (9) members appointed by Council. It was established for the purpose of providing oversight of the collection and spending of tax revenue from any local transportation sales tax. For purposes of this chapter, a “local transportation sales tax” is defined as a sales tax imposed on City residents for purposes of generating funds to specifically fund the City’s transportation plan; any local tax used to fund general services in the City is not a “local transportation sales tax.”

HIGHLIGHTS OF ACTIVITES OF THE PAST YEAR
 Over the course of four meetings, the Commission heard quarterly updates on the revenues and expenditures of the Measure L funds. The Commission reviewed and approved allocation of funds to 15 projects totaling over $12,354,700 in Measure L funding.

MEETINGS HELD OVER THE PAST YEAR
 Once a quarter, the first Thursday of the third month, at 3PM.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
 The Forward Together initiative was catalyzed as a response to calls for police reform intensifying across the country and at our local level. Its formation was also a reflection of a commitment to strong relationships and trust between the community and law enforcement. On May 22, 2021, Council conducted a listening session to collect community input. As a result of the listening session, the following themes emerged and were confirmed by Council:
o Policies and Practices – that support safety, fairness and equity throughout the department and the community.
o Alternate Response Models – that ensure the right type of response and resources are applied to a situation.
o Accountability – for police conduct, decisions and how they impact the Modesto community.

Pursuant to Council Resolution No. 2021-216 on June 8, 2021, the Forward Together working group was created by the City Council and tasked with researching these specific themes relative to policing, engaging the broader community in the process, and ultimately returned to Council with a set of recommendations to improve the police-community relations in the City of Modesto. The creation of a hybrid accountability model involving a Community Police Review Board and Independent Auditor were among these recommendations.

Modesto's new city charter became eƯective in January, expanding membership from 5 to 7, including 2 residing outside city limits. In about 1975 with the creation of the new County Library system, the advisory group became the Culture Commission. The purpose of its formation was to advise Council and City Manager on matters relating to art, literature, music and other cultural activities.

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 oƯsite strategic planning session. The executive director shall be formally evaluated at the oƯsite session, with primary consideration given to the director's success in implementing the prior year's projects.

BOARD ROLES
 Advising the Council and making recommendations as to how the revenue derived from the additional levy of license tax imposed by Title 6, Chapter 3 of the Modesto Municipal Code this chapter shall be used within the scope of the purposes set forth in Section 6-3.09 of this chapter, and to have and perform such other powers and duties as the Council may determine.

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 Active City Committees

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
 Originally, the AƯirmative Action Commission of the City of Modesto was established pursuant to the provisions of the AƯirmative Action Program established by Modesto City Council Resolution No. 87-237 on April 7, 1987. Following the passage of California’s Proposition 209, the City amended relevant policies and procedures to comply with the new law. As part of that eƯort, pursuant to Council Resolution No. 98-134 on March 3, 1998, the name of the Commission was changed to Equal Opportunity/Disability Commission, to more accurately reflect its mission. In 2021 and early 2022, in an eƯort to better meet the needs of the community and workforce, the City reviewed the Commission’s mission. 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.

HIGHLIGHTS OF ACTIVITES OF THE PAST YEAR
 Ongoing review and revision of the Equity Commission By-Laws to improve clarity and effectiveness.
 EƯorts to ensure commission operations comply with state law (e.g., SB 707 teleconferencing requirements).
 Multiple discussions about making meeting materials, forms, and participation more accessible to the public.
 Regular updates from the Citizen’s Housing and Community Development Committee indicated broader coordination with city advisory bodies.
 Attention to attendance reporting and documentation — underscoring an internal focus on participation practices.
 Throughout 2025, the Equity Commission continued to face ongoing challenges with commissioner retention and consistently meeting quorum, which at times limited the Commission’s ability to advance its work. Following the onboarding of three new commissioners in September, the Commission intentionally shifted its focus inward to strengthen its foundation. This included a comprehensive review and update of the bylaws to articulate the purpose and scope of the Equity Commission, support stronger buy-in and shared understanding among appointed commissioners, and codify lessons learned from both the successes and barriers experienced since the Commission’s rejuvenation in 2022 more clearly. This work reflects a commitment to building a more sustainable, effective, and aligned body moving forward. 58 Active City Committees

MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Committee is to be responsible for reviewing and approving loans issued as part of the City’s Homeowner Rehabilitation Program. The HRLC includes seven (7) members that are appointed by the City Council for a 4-year term with one alternate from the Citizen’s Housing and Community Development Committee and a representative from the Stanislaus Regional Housing Authority.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The Housing Rehabilitation Loan Committee was established by the Modesto City Council on August 25th, 1975.

Initially this committee was known as the “Rehabilitation Loan Pool Subcommittee. The primary purpose of this committee was to develop a rehabilitation loan pool, especially the procedural manual including administrative procedures and policies for loan funds, eligibility, and extent of governmental and private sector commitment of funds; to monitor and evaluate these rehabilitation loan pool eƯorts; to involve citizens in the program and to formulate and transmit recommendations regarding policy matters to the Citizen’s Housing and Community Development Committee.

HIGHLIGHTS OF ACTIVITIES OF THE PAST YEAR
Over the past year, the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Committee was able to complete a total of fifteen (15) rehabilitation projects. Out of the fifteen (15) homes, six (6) of them were mobile homes and the remaining nine (9) were single family homes. This year, the City also explored a new marketing approach. This led to several informational sessions about the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program at local mobile home parks in Modesto.

Furthermore, the City was able to assist six (6) more families in 2025, in comparison to the nine (9) homes that were renovated in 2024. The project repairs this year ranged from installing accessible showers, heat/air system replacements, roof replacements, and critical electrical repairs. In 2025, the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Committee disbursed $209,388 in grant funding, and $318,949 in loans to help community members get health and safety repairs on their properties – promoting health and safety of the community. In total, the program was able to provide $528,337 in financial support to local homeowners to assist with repairs.

Patrick Cavanah, Member

MISSION STATEMENT
 The Landmark Preservation Ordinance recognizes the importance of historic preservation to the city’s economic prosperity, cultural enrichment, and general welfare. The ordinance establishes criteria under which historic resources are formally declared local landmarks and describes the responsibilities of the Landmark Preservation Commission. Goal I. Promote Trust and Engagement

BOARD ROLES
 The Landmark Preservation Commission advises City Council on matters related to historic structures and other resources in addition to policies and practices pertaining to preservation of Modesto's landmarks.  The goal of the Commission is to conduct continuing surveys and research and classify, as to their relative importance, properties that have historic, architectural, archeological, engineering or cultural significance to the community.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
 The City of Modesto established its Landmark Preservation ordinance in 1988, following the demolition of many beautiful old buildings in downtown. Shortly thereafter, the City began an extensive survey of remaining historic buildings and other objects. Historic resources and landmarks are pieces of our history. Landmarks help us remember who we are and where our community fits into our county, state, and nation. Landmarks help create a feeling of civic pride by celebrating our community and help us envision a future that builds on past successes. Landmarks are about more than architecture, they also recall people, events, and significant achievements.

HIGHLIGHTS OF ACTIVITES
 The Landmark Preservation Commission reviewed and accepted the Historic Resources Survey Update of the 1997 Downtown Historic Resources Inventory. The comprehensive survey of downtown in 1997 focused on the historic core of Modesto, which encompassed approximately 100 city blocks and identified approximately 350 resources in this area as eligible for National Register and/or local interest to the City of Modesto.
 On July 9-11, 2025, ESA conducted the 2025 survey update. The work was a 3-day survey by two historians performed from the right-of-way and photographs were collected of each of the property currently on the 1997 Historic Resources Inventory Survey and City Landmarks Lists. The updated survey has retained 54 out 70 Active City Committees

of the 59 recognized landmarks within the survey boundary. The 5 delisted sites were reviewed for validity.

There were additional potential landmarks eligible sites identified in the new survey. The Commission will use that data to conduct outreach in CY2026 to these eligible sites and owners.  The City GIS staƯ and planning team mapped the new survey and updated the City’s Landmark Preservation webpages with the latest survey information made available as a publicly accessible document. In accordance with the existing Mills Act contracts on the twelve landmark properties, staƯ has requested property owners update the list of improvements that is attached to each contract. Ten of the twelve property owners have responded by providing an updated list of improvements. In addition, city staƯ in coordination with Commissioners inspected nine of the ten responding properties.

MEETINGS HELD OVER THE PAST YEAR
 The Landmark Preservation Commission meets on the 3rd Monday, of every month at 1:00pm, with the exception of holidays, then the meeting is moved to the 4th Monday.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:

April 7, 2026
Date: April 1, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Jose M. Sanchez, City Attorney
Christina Alger, Director of Human Resources
SUBJECT: Amendments to Legal Services Agreements for Continued Representation CONTACT: Jose M. Sanchez, City Attorney, 209-577-5284,
[email protected]
DESCRIPTION:

Consider approving a Fifth Amendment to the Legal Services Agreement with Swingle, Van Egmond, Heitlinger for continued representation in tort cases, increasing the amount by $250,000 and a Third Amendment to the Legal Services Agreement with Meyers Nave amending the scope of work and increasing the Agreement amount by $250,000. (Funding Source: General Liability Insurance Fund and General Fund) STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:

This item supports the City’s 2025-2026 Strategic Plan Goal J to build a highperformance organization.

BACKGROUND:

In managing legal services for the City, the City Attorney’s Office established a standard legal services agreement for the engagement of outside legal assistance in matters requiring specific expertise. The City Attorney’s Office tracks the assigned budget and requests that the Council amend the agreements when necessary.

DISCUSSION:

Swingle, Van Egmond & Heitlinger
On May 23, 2023, by Resolution No. 2023-231, Council approved a Legal Services Agreement with Swingle, Van Egmond & Heitlinger (Swingle) in an amount not to exceed $250,000 to continue representing the City in tort cases. On January 23, 2024, #12..

Amendments to Legal Services Agreements for Continued Representation

Page 2 of 4 ends

by Resolution No. 2024-008, Council approved a First Amendment to the Legal Services Agreement with Swingle increasing the agreement amount by $300,000 from $250,000 for a revised total amount not to exceed $550,000 to continued representation in tort cases. On October 22, 2024, by Resolution No. 2024-382, Council approved a Second Amendment to the agreement increasing the amount by $300,000 for a total amount not to exceed $850,000. On July 22, 2025, by Resolution No. 2025-259, Council approved a Third Amendment to the agreement increasing the amount by $100,000 for a total not to exceed $950,000. On December 2, 2025, by Resolution No. 2025-411, Council approved a Fourth Amendment to the agreement increasing hourly rates and increasing the amount by $250,000 for a total not to exceed $1,200,000.

Swingle continually maintains a steady case load of 30 to 40 small to moderate matters.

Swingle continues to prepare multiple cases for trial simultaneously, as well as handling a number of additional smaller cases. Given the continued litigious nature of these type of matters, an increase to the Agreement budget is needed in the amount of $250,000 to support continued services for Swingle’s assigned cases, for a revised total Agreement amount not to exceed $1,450,000. Consistent with City policy, the City Attorney’s office is currently preparing a request for proposals in order to continue analyzing options and firms for these services.

Meyers Nave
On July 28, 2025, the City entered into a Legal Services Agreement with Meyers Nave for legal advice and assistance in relation to the City’s ordinance related to public assembly, in an amount not to exceed $35,000. On October 29, 2025, the City entered into a First Amendment to the Legal Services Agreement, increasing the not to exceed amount to $95,000 to support continued services. On February 25, 2026, the City entered into a Second Amendment to the Legal Services Agreement, increasing the not to exceed amount to $99,500 to pay final invoices on the assigned matter. Given the recent challenge of the ordinance, a Third Amendment to the agreement is necessary to amend the scope of services to include litigation defense and trial counsel and provide additional funds in the amount of $250,000 to support continued services.

Modesto Municipal Code section 8-3.203 generally requires all purchases which meet or exceed $100,000 for material, equipment, or contractual services to be formally bid.

However, exceptions to the formal bidding process are granted in MMC 8-3.204(f) “Where the Purchasing Manager, in her discretion, determines that it is appropriate to amend the services or goods provided under the existing Agreement to include additional similar goods or services, of limited quantity or scope, in order to increase efficiency and avoid delays or disruptions to City projects or services.” These amendments to the legal services agreements conform to MMC 8-3.204 as we are amending these agreements for continued representation in the same or similar matters.

Attached are the above amendments for Council approval. #12..
