Donate Life Month: April 2025
OneLegacy Public Education Partnership
Since 2005, OneLegacy has requested the support of Southern California civic and community leaders to celebrate and encourage the gift of life at the Donate Life Run/Walk and throughout Donate Life Month. As leaders of your community, we hope you will join us in taking steps to raise awareness of the vital need for organ and tissue donors, celebrating and embracing the generous choice to give the gift of life.

The Need: Over 20,000 Californians need a lifesaving transplant Even though more than 100 people per day received a life-saving transplant in 2024, about 17 die every day still waiting.

California has only 12% of the nation’s population, but nearly 20% of the nation’s currently-waiting transplant candidates.

Only about half of all Californians are registered organ, eye and tissue donors.

Illnesses that lead to the need for transplant are common. So, education about organ, eye and tissue donation should be common too.

Saying yes to organ, eye and tissue donation is saying yes to LIFE! The Request: Help Us Spread the Word to Save
Lives
Celebrate Donate Life Month by sharing information about organ, eye and tissue donation with your residents throughout the month of April. Include a call to action, encouraging residents to “sign up and save lives!” by visiting donatelifecalifornia.org/OneLegacy/ Using our ready-made tools, you can enhance organ, eye and tissue donation awareness via your…

Facts about Donation and Transplantation: Did you
know…?
THE GIFT – One organ donor can save the lives of up to eight (8) people by donating their heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, pancreas and small intestines.

THE GIFT – On average, one tissue donor can enhance the lives of more than 75 people by donating their corneas, skin, bones, and heart valves, among others.

THE NEED – More than 48,000 organ transplants were performed in the U.S. in 2024, which was possible through the generosity of deceased and living donors.

THE NEED – Over 100,000 people are currently waiting for an organ transplant in the U.S.; over 20,000 in California alone.

THE NEED – 17 patients die every day while waiting because the organ they needed did not become available in time.

THE NEED – The need for transplants is disproportionately high among minority populations. Communities of color often suffer higher incidences of conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes, which can lead to the need for a kidney transplant.

DONOR REGISTRATION – To register to be an organ, eye and tissue donor Californians can go to www.donateLIFEcalifornia.org, or its Spanish counter-part www.doneVIDAcalifornia.org.

THE FACTS – Patients are fairly matched with a donor based on the severity of their illness, body size, tissue type, blood type and other important medical information.

THE FACTS – Over 39,000 patients have their sight restored every year through cornea transplants.

THE FACTS – Nearly one third of all deceased donors are age 50 or older. People of all ages and medical histories should consider themselves potential donors.

THE FACTS – Every major religion in the United States supports organ donation as one of the highest expressions of compassion and generosity.

LIVING DONATION - A living donor can provide a kidney or a portion of their liver, lung, pancreas or intestine. To explore living donation, visit www.LivingDonationCalifornia.org

1st 2-year extension 2
nd 2-year extension
7 /1 /2023-6/30/2025 7 /1 /2025-6/30/2027
Fixed Cost per year $243,365.90 $249,206.68
Hourlv Rate per RSVH $49.51 $50.70
Thank you and the City of Needles for your willingness to continue allowing Transportation Concepts to operate the NAT service. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Background: On September 24, 2019, the City and Parking Concepts, Inc. dba Transportation Concepts (TC) entered into an agreement to provide for Dial-a-Ride and Dial-a-Ride Medical/Shopper Shuttle Pilot Program Services through June 30, 2023; and on April 25, 2023, City exercised its First Option to Extend through June 30, 2025. TC also provides operation of the Needles Area Transit (NAT) under separate agreement which is being extended for an additional two years through June 30, 2027. In order to maintain continuity in the contract periods for both the DAR/DAR Medical/Shopper Shuttle Services AKA Fort Mohave/Bullhead Shuttle and NAT, staff is recommending an extension of this Agreement for the same two year period.

Fiscal Impact: The Agreement provides that during the option periods, the fixed hourly rate per Revenue Service Vehicle Hour shall be the same as that of NAT and the fixed monthly fee for vehicle insurance to be actual estimated costs to provide such coverage. The rates set forth in the Agreement reflect such. Additionally, funding for these programs comes through the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) so there will be no impact on the city’s general fund.

Environmental Impact: N/A
Recommended Action: Waive the reading and adopt Resolution No. 2025-18 approving a Fourth Amendment to and Extension of Agreement for Dial-a-Ride and Dial-a-Ride Medical/Shopper Shuttle Pilot Program Services (AKA Fort Mohave/Bullhead Shuttle) between the City of Needles and Parking Concepts, Inc. dba Transportation Concepts.

City of Needles, California
Request for City Council Action
CITY COUNCIL NPUA Regular Special
Meeting Date: April 22, 2025
Title: Naming of Ed Parry / Phillips Fields Complex
Background: On June 28, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-52, establishing a formal policy for naming City-owned land, buildings, and facilities (attached). At the April 8, 2025 City Council meeting, a recommendation was made to name the location that consists of Ed Parry Field and Phillips Field to the “Needles Little League Baseball Complex." Ed Parry Field and Philips Field will remain. What is being considered is the naming of the complex.

Ed Parry Field is located on River Street & adjacent to the Railroad Tracks. Ed Parry was employed in the Recreation Department and was responsible for bringing Sports to our Youth in Needles.

Phillips Field is adjacent to Ed Parry Field. John Phillips, of Phillips Construction, has been in the community since 1963 and his company is responsible for many city and school construction projects.

The Ed Parry / Phillips Fields location includes the following:
• Little League Ball Fields which include Ed Parry Field and Phillips Field • Benches
• Water Fountain
• Rest rooms
• Snack Shack
Fiscal Impact: Estimated staff time and material costs for updated signage— approximately $500.

Environmental Impact: N/A
Recommended Action: Provide staff direction on the proposed renaming.

MEMORANDUM
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: PATRICK J. MARTINEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: WEEKLY MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 4, 2025

1. Put your boots on—Rodeo Weekend is back in Needles! The 47th Annual Colorado River Round-Up Rodeo takes place tonight and tomorrow Saturday, April 4–5, at the Needles Rodeo Grounds (1001 San Clemente Street) gates open at 4PM. This Grand Canyon Pro Rodeo Associationsanctioned event delivers two action-packed days of professional rodeo competitions, live music, and family-friendly fun. Event highlights include the Junior Barrel Race, Mutton Bustin’, a lively cornhole tournament, and local vendors serving up food, drinks. Each night wraps up with the crowd-favorite Rodeo Dance, featuring live performances by Littletown. Tickets are available at the gate: $10 per day for adults (18+), $5 per day for youth (ages 6–17), and free for children five and under. This beloved tradition honors the rich heritage, vibrant spirit, and strong sense of community that makes Needles unique. It’s a key part of the City’s commitment to fostering local pride and supporting tourism. Come early, bring the family, and enjoy one of the most exciting weekends of the year. See the attached flyer for more details or contact Judy Thornton at 760-333-5255. We’ll see you at the Round-Up!

2. On City staff is honored to invite the community to the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Well No. 11 Treatment Plant on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. This $8.9 million project isn't just another public works achievement— it’s a defining moment for Needles. Congratulations to the City Council and staff for this monumental achievement. This is how legacies are built. Backed by over $14.3 million in water infrastructure investment, Needles is rewriting the story of what’s possible for rural communities. From advanced treatment systems and upgraded pump stations to new backup power and critical pipeline improvements, we’re not just fixing old problems—we’re future-proofing our city.

Thanks to the unwavering support of the State Water Resources Control Board, U.S. EPA, and California Climate Investments, we’ve turned longstanding water challenges into a model of resilience. The plant will serve Wells No. 11, 12, and 15—delivering cleaner, safer water and restoring confidence in the systems our community relies on every day. This is bold, forward-thinking

Page 2 of 4 ends

infrastructure—the kind California needs more of. The Needles City Council is proud to lead with vision, because what we’re building isn’t just a treatment plant—it’s the future of Needles. Join us as we celebrate this powerful step forward—together.

3. On Saturday, March 29th, a community clean-up was held along Clary Drive near the Rodeo Grounds, with a dozen volunteers participating. Led by Councilmember Longacre and the Needles Pride Program, the monthly effort targeted litter and dead vegetation ahead of the Needles Rodeo, reinforcing civic pride and beautification. Public Works crews completed fire abatement along Clary Drive and finalized asbestos removal at the former Chamber of Commerce building (100 G Street). Demolition is set in the coming weeks to make way for potential downtown redevelopment. In advance of the Palo Verde 5K Run, potholes were repaired along River Street near Ed Perry Park. Weekly citywide maintenance continues. The “Dead End” and directional signs were reinstalled at Front Street to reduce oversized vehicle issues. We thank the property owners on the 1300 block of Broadway for quickly bringing parcels into compliance following recent accidents that support safety and community appearance along our major thoroughfare.

Residents can report issues such as potholes, sidewalk damage, or vegetation overgrowth; please call 760-326-2115 (press #9) or use the Needles Connect app on Google Play Store and the Apple Store. This week’s work reflects strong coordination between volunteers, city crews, and property owners to improve safety, public spaces, and readiness for upcoming events. Refer to the attached images for a glimpse.

4. In January, the City of Needles formed a multi-agency task force to address our community's growing concerns of graffiti and vandalism. I want to thank our partners at Caltrans, Needles Unified School District, and the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department (SBCSD) for their continued efforts to work alongside the City to deter further criminal activity. Through increased surveillance, strict enforcement, and a clear message of accountability, we demonstrate our commitment to keeping Needles a clean, safe, and welcoming community. To support these efforts and enhance the documentation of incidents, City crews installed new security cameras at Jack Smith Park this week. Additional security cameras have also been ordered for Duke Watkins Park and are currently being installed; they should be online within the next couple of weeks, expanding our surveillance capabilities to further deter vandalism and protect public spaces.

This initiative includes improved coordination for incident reporting, and we encourage residents to be part of the solution by reporting graffiti to SBCSD's non-emergency line at 909-387-8313. We thank Caltrans, SBCSD, the Needles Unified School District, and our residents for their ongoing support in confronting this issue. If you see something, say something—together, we can preserve the pride, beauty, and vibrancy of Needles.

5. On Saturday, Billet Health hosted the Pancakes in the Park event at Santa Fe Park, drawing approximately 120 attendees to honor Vietnam Veterans.

Page 3 of 4 ends

The program included a JROTC opening ceremony, rifle spinning performance, a “Welcome Home” address by Commander George DeLeon (Post 404), a POW/MIA remembrance, and a 13-Folds Flag Ceremony.

Guests enjoyed a complimentary pancake breakfast in a welcoming and respectful atmosphere. Mayor Janet Jernigan spoke to thank veterans for their service and shared details about the upcoming Run for the Wall event on May 14, 2025 at 12pm. This well-attended event supports the City Council’s community engagement and family support goals by honoring service members and fostering civic pride. The attached images give a glimpse into the event—special thanks to Billet Health for organizing a memorable community gathering.

6. City of Needles Lineman Thomas DeLeon participated in the Vista Colorado Elementary STEM Class, delivering an energetic and hands-on presentation on electrical safety to curious and engaged students. As part of the session, Thomas demonstrated personal protective equipment, explained the function of essential tools, and showcased one of the city’s bucket trucks, giving students a rare behind-the-scenes look at the critical work linemen perform every day. This interactive outreach teaches important safety tips that students can carry with them and sparks interest in potential future careers in the trades and public service. It’s a great example of City staff stepping outside their typical roles to educate, connect, and inspire the next generation. Participation in programs like this strengthens community trust, encourages youth engagement, and shows that the City of Needles is dedicated to positively impacting both on and off the clock. We thank Thomas for his commitment to safety, service, and community leadership. Refer to the attached images to take a glimpse into the event.

7. On City staff is excited to welcome Mark Walters as the newest appointee to the Board of Public Utilities. The Board plays a key advisory role to the City Council on all matters involving Utility Operations. This includes reviewing and making recommendations on the annual utility budget, capital purchases, system upgrades, and rate structures for water, wastewater, and electric services. The Board meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 4:00 p.m. at El Garces. Welcome aboard, Mark — we’re glad to have you on the team!

8. On Tuesday, April 8, 2025, the Needles Women’s Club will host a Chicken Chili Verde Luncheon to raise funds to support women’s empowerment, youth programs, scholarships, and civic initiatives. For just $10, attendees will enjoy a hearty meal featuring chicken chili verde, chips, and a cookie. Meals can be picked up at the Needles Women’s Club, located at 305 W. Broadway Street, or delivered within the city for orders of three or more. Orders must be placed by 5:30 p.m. on Monday, April 7, and can be submitted online by clicking here. For assistance with ordering, residents may call or text Karrie at 928-201-1836. This event is a great way to support a longstanding community organization dedicated to empowering others and giving back to Needles.

9. Next Saturday, April 12, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, Cindi’s Kids will host their annual Father-Daughter Dance at the Needles Recreation Center.

This cherished event brings families together for fun, music, and connection.

The dance is open to girls ages 3 to 18 and their father figures, including grandfathers, uncles, big brothers, or proxy dads. Admission is $15 per couple and $5 for each additional daughter. Drinks and refreshments are included, and professional photos will be available for purchase. Communitycentered events like this continue to strengthen family ties and reinforce the importance of positive male role models in the lives of young girls. We encourage council members and staff to help spread the word and support this heartfelt gathering. Refer to the attached flyer for details.

MEMORANDUM
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: PATRICK J. MARTINEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: WEEKLY MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 11, 2025

1. Tomorrow, Saturday, April 12, will be a vibrant day in Needles. Three major community events will reflect the City Council's goals of fostering community engagement, supporting the arts and local economy, and promoting health and education. Art in the Park runs from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM at El Garces (950 Front Street). Refer to the attached image of tonight's cocktail party to celebrate the artists and highlight Needles' growing cultural presence. Thank you to the River Valley Artist Guild for hosting this outstanding art event and contributing to our city's cultural vibrancy. The Needles Craft Show, which features handmade goods from local vendors, will also take place tomorrow from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Santa Fe Park. The Palo Verde College Foundation 5K Color Run & Walk starts at 9:00 AM at the Needles Center, with check-in beginning at 7:30 AM. These events collectively showcase our community's energy, pride, and momentum building. We encourage residents and visitors alike to join and experience all Needles offers.

2. On Tuesday, the City of Needles proudly celebrated the ribbon-cutting of the Well No. 11 Treatment Plant—a major milestone in our efforts to provide safe, reliable drinking water to the community. Constructed through a streamlined design-build approach, this state-of-the-art facility was delivered faster and more efficiently than traditional methods. The project is part of a broader $14.3 million investment supported by the State Water Resources Control Board, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and California Climate Investments. This funding modernizes our water infrastructure and includes several companion projects: the Lily Hill and L Street Booster Stations, the 16" Transmission/Intertie Project, and the upcoming Manifold Project.

These improvements will increase system capacity, boost reliability, and strengthen long-term service delivery.

This accomplishment directly advances several City Council goals—investing in critical infrastructure, protecting public health, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of our essential services. It's a strong example of turning

Page 2 of 5 ends

strategic priorities into real results for the people of Needles. We are grateful to Governor Gavin Newsom, the State Water Board, and all funding partners for their continued support of rural infrastructure. Special thanks to the Needles City Council, Board of Public Utilities, City staff, TKE Engineering, and Eric Christensen of Pacific Hydrotech Corporation for their leadership and technical expertise. We were also honored to have Nichole Morgan and Dimitri Stanich join us to help commemorate this important milestone. This is how we build legacy—with purpose, partnership, and vision. Read the full press release clicking here or refer to the attached document.

3. On Thursday, April 10, 2025, San Bernardino County Supervisor Dawn Rowe hosted a community stakeholder lunch that brought together representatives from the City of Needles, Needles Unified School District, California Highway Patrol, San Bernardino County Fire Department, and Palo Verde College. The meeting allowed us to strengthen interagency relationships and align on shared priorities. Supervisor Rowe delivered an update on County affairs, including the success of the Third Annual San Bernardino County Resource Fair held at the historic El Garces and ongoing improvements to the Sheriff’s Colorado River Station, which is scheduled to reopen this June. She also highlighted the Emergency Response Mutual Aid Agreement between the City of Needles and San Bernardino County Public Works—a collaborative effort to provide cost-effective and timely support for street and infrastructure repairs in incorporated and unincorporated areas.

These efforts directly support the City Council’s goals of improving public safety, investing in critical infrastructure, and enhancing regional collaboration. By participating in these cooperative initiatives, the City continues to build strong partnerships that reinforce community resilience and service delivery. Refer to the attached for a glimpse into the event.

4. The Needles Pride Program continues to inspire local action, empowering residents to take ownership of their neighborhoods and contribute to a cleaner, safer city. These efforts reflect the City Council’s commitment to enhancing community engagement, infrastructure reliability, and overall quality of life in Needles. This week, the City’s Water Department completed a critical infrastructure project—the fresh painting of the leading piping network at Well 15. This long-overdue maintenance improves corrosion resistance, extends the system’s lifespan, and helps preserve water quality by preventing harmful leaching. (See attached images for a glimpse of the work completed.) To further protect public spaces and deter illegal dumping, the city has installed “No Dumping” signs at key locations, including First Beach, Jack Smith Park, and near City-owned dumpsters. These signs are part of a broader effort to keep our parks and shared spaces clean while reducing costs associated with unauthorized dumping. Additionally, we’re excited to announce a Community Cleanup Day scheduled for Saturday, May 3, 2025. Volunteers are encouraged to join us in removing debris and improving public areas. These events serve as a powerful demonstration of civic pride and align with Council goals to beautify Needles and promote public involvement. Residents can report

Page 3 of 5 ends

issues such as potholes, sidewalk damage, or vegetation overgrowth; please call 760-326-2115 (press #9) or use the Needles Connect app on Google Play Store and the Apple Store. Refer to the attached images for a glimpse. Together, these initiatives show how sustained investment, collaboration, and community spirit are making Needles a better place to live, work, and visit.

5. The City of Needles would like to share with the community that Captain Ross Tarangle of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Colorado River Station has stepped down from his position as he prepares for retirement.

We are grateful for Captain Tarangle’s many years of dedicated service and strong leadership, which have significantly contributed to the safety and wellbeing of our City. Effective immediately, Lieutenant Jacob Gault will serve as Interim Captain and officially assume the role of Captain on May 3, 2025. We look forward to continuing our close partnership with the Colorado River Station under his leadership. The City will work with Captain Tarangle to schedule a plaque presentation at a future Council meeting to recognize his service.

Please thank Captain Tarangle and welcome Captain Gault to his new role in Needles.

6. Are you looking to add a furry friend to your family? The Needles Animal Shelter has several loving pets waiting for their forever homes, including Hazel, a 3-year-old female Pit/Sharpei mix; Leo, a 2-year-old long-haired Chihuahua; and three playful 8-week-old kittens—Scout, Smokey, and Scarlett. All animals shown in the attached flyer are currently available and unaltered. The adoption fee is just $59, and our staff is here to help you find the perfect match. Stop by Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, or call us at 760-326-4952 to learn more. And don't miss our upcoming Rabies and Licensing Clinic on Friday, May 17, from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM, hosted at the shelter in partnership with PetSmart Veterinary Services. The attached flyer outlines that this cashonly event offers low-cost vaccinations, microchipping, and discounted City of Needles dog licenses. All dogs must be leashed, and cats must be in carriers.

Whether you're adopting or keeping your current pets healthy, it's a great time to visit the shelter and support animal care in our community.

7. This week, the City proudly congratulates Zerick Phillips on earning his Commercial Driver’s License (CDL)—a milestone that reflects our continued investment in staff development. Our Public Works team is actively participating in a certified CDL training program, which includes 80 hours of both virtual and onsite instruction and an exam. This effort is part of the City’s commitment to building a highly trained workforce, improving service delivery, and empowering our employees with the skills needed to serve the community effectively.

8. On Tuesday, the City of Needles City Council proudly recognized the outstanding accomplishments of the Needles High School Boys and Girls Basketball Teams. The Girls Team captured the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association (NIAA) 2A State Championship, while the Boys Team

Page 4 of 5 ends

earned the title of State Runner-Up in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Council commended not only the athletes for their talent, discipline, and sportsmanship, but also praised the city’s recreation program for its commitment to youth development. This recognition aligns with the City Council’s goal to support families and youth by enhancing recreational opportunities, developing leadership skills, and fostering a strong sense of community pride. By investing in programs that create a positive environment for our young residents, the City continues to promote a healthy, family-friendly community and strengthen its partnership with the Needles Unified School District. For a glimpse of this commendation, please refer to the attached certificates.

9. The Rivers Edge Golf Course continues to serve as a hub for community connection, and we’re proud to support the upcoming 26th Annual Flip Mendez Youth Fundraiser on Saturday, May 3. The tournament is officially sold out, a testament to the strong local support for youth-focused programs. While player spots are full, sponsorship opportunities—including hole sponsorships with tee box signage—are still available. All proceeds benefit the Flip Mendez Youth Foundation, which helps provide recreational sports access to underprivileged youth. JJ’s Golf Clinic will be held tomorrow at 10:00 AM, leading up to the event, offering an excellent opportunity to refine your skills before the tournament. Space is limited, so early sign-ups are encouraged. For sponsorship details, clinic registration, or to book a round, contact JJ DeLeon at (760) 326-3931 or visit www.golfneedlesca.com. Refer to the attached flyer for sponsorship information.

10.The San Bernardino County Fire Protection District (SBCFPD) successfully hosted a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event on March 1, 2025, at the Needles City Public Works Yard. The event drew participation from 61 residents and resulted in the safe collection and disposal of 6,958 pounds of hazardous and electronic waste. Notable quantities included 2,998 pounds of latex paint, 640 pounds of used motor oil, 1,498 pounds of e-waste, 380 pounds of lead acid batteries, and 269 pounds of oil-based paint, along with other materials such as household batteries, aerosols, sharps, and corrosives.

The event reflects SBCFPD’s ongoing commitment to public safety and environmental protection through responsible waste management and community outreach.

11. The 47th Annual Colorado River Round-Up Rodeo was a tremendous success this past weekend, setting a new attendance record. By Saturday night, it was standing-room-only—an outstanding turnout for one of our community’s most cherished traditions. Thank you to the Rodeo Committee for their continued dedication and hard work in organizing and setting up this annual event. Your commitment is what keeps this tradition alive and thriving.

Adding to the excitement, various local food trucks served crowd favorites throughout the weekend. Foodini’s, River Sippin, and Joe’s BBQ Shack were just a few of the standouts—Joe’s delivered what many called their best-ever barbecue. And, of course, none of this would have been possible without our

Page 5 of 5 ends

incredible volunteers. Thank you for your time, energy, and commitment.

Your efforts helped make this year’s rodeo one to remember.

12.Next week, two community events will unite residents in celebration and support the City Council’s goals to enhance family-friendly programming and strengthen community engagement through public spaces and local partnerships. On Saturday, April 19, 2025, beginning at 9:30 AM at Jack Smith Park, Tri-State Community Healthcare will host the Third Annual Needles Easter Egg Hunt. With over 5,000 eggs, prizes, face painting, and photos with the Easter Bunny, this beloved event offers fun for all ages and continues to foster strong family connections in our community. Later that day, the 1st Annual World-Famous Chili Cookoff kicks off at 10:00 AM (location TBD), hosted by The River Community Coalition and Firehouse Ministries.

This exciting new tradition will feature delicious chili, friendly competition, and plenty of community spirit. Additional details about participation and judging are coming soon. Both events reflect our shared vision of building a vibrant, inclusive, and connected Needles. Refer to the attached flyer for more details.
