Meeting Date: June 10, 2025
Title: Public Hearing on Vacancies to Comply with Assembly Bill 2561 Background: This item is being presented in response to Assembly Bill 2561 (AB 2561), signed into law by Governor Newsom on September 22, 2024, in response to new transparency requirements related to staffing vacancies. AB 2561 mandates that public agencies hold at least one public hearing each fiscal year before the adoption of their budgets to report on vacancy levels, evaluate hiring and retention efforts, and allow for participation by recognized bargaining groups. This report includes workforce data for the 2024 calendar year, along with the most current staffing status as of May 1, 2025.
Fiscal Impact: Potential cost increase to improve compensation, benefits, and working conditions, only if any bargaining group vacancy rate reaches or exceeds 20% of authorized positions and the cost to prepare this staff report.
Environmental Impact: N/A
Workforce Overview: As of May 1, 2025, the City has 71 full-time equivalent (FTE) budgeted positions. Of the 71, 3 are contract employees, 57 are full-time, 5 are Temporary-PT and 23 are Seasonal-PT. The 57 full-time positions are open to being represented by bargaining groups.
The City’s overall vacancy rate is 3% and with the seasonal PT employees it is 14%.
Even though the City’s vacancy rate is extremely low we will continue to explore workforce planning in alignment with AB2561. The City will continue to assess internal practices and workforce conditions to identify and address recruitment and retention challenges. Areas of focus may include:
• Exploring new advertising methods and platforms, particularly for hard-to-fill positions. • Ensuring compensation and benefits remain competitive within the region • Reviewing recruitment best practices and improving the onboarding experience The ongoing self-assessment helps the City become an employer of choice, supports organizational resilience, and ensures the effective delivery of public services.
The City is committed to maintaining a skilled and resilient workforce and to complying with the requirements of AB 2561. The report and public hearing fulfill the requirements of AB 2561 and confirm that all represented bargaining units are below the 20% vacancy threshold. The City will continue to monitor staffing trends, address recruitment challenges, and invest in workforce development.
Recommended Action: Receive and file this report in compliance with AB2561.

CITY COUNCIL NPUA HACN Regular Special
Meeting Date: June 10, 2025
Title: Joint Public Hearing of the City of Needles, NPUA, & Housing Authority of the City of Needles Public Hearing on the Proposed Budgets for Fiscal Year 2025-2026; and, approval of Resolutions 2025-27, 06-10-2025-NPUA, and 2025-10-HACN adopting the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Annual Operating and Capital Budgets
Background: A Budget Workshop was held at the joint City Council, NPUA and Housing Authority meeting on May 27, 2025. At that meeting, Council reviewed the City Manager’s Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-2026.
Today, a public hearing is being held to receive comments from the public on any aspect of the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Proposed Budget. Council will have an opportunity to do a final review of the budget and ask any questions before the budget is adopted.
Since the Budget Workshop on May 27, 2025, staff identified several adjustments to the budget in the process of finalizing the numbers. Those adjustments are discussed below and have been incorporated into the budget presented for adoption today.
The first change is that the City has experienced a decline in certain General Fund tax revenues in recent months. This decline was not previously apparent due to the timing of revenue receipts in recent months.
Accordingly, staff made adjustments to the current year-end revenue estimates and next year’s budgeted revenues to reflect recent patterns in revenue collections. Overall, General Fund revenues have been reduced by approximately $80,000 to account for this lower anticipated tax revenue next year.
To offset the lower General Fund revenue estimates, staff conducted a comprehensive review of proposed expenditures and identified savings. $25,000 in funding for the General Plan Update was removed from the Planning budget, as the update has already been completed. The budget for cannabis business audits in the Finance Department was reduced by $257,725 because the current fiscal year included enough funding for two years of audits, thereby reducing the amount needed next year. In the Golf Course Fund, the budget for grass seed was reduced by $25,000 based on a better estimate of the amount needed for next year. This also reduced the General Fund budgeted transfer to the Golf Fund by $25,000. Lastly, staff also lowered the salary projections across all departments as they were found to be over-estimated for next year.
Next, the COPS proposed budget was originally included within the General Fund proposed budget. After final review and consideration, staff moved the budgeted revenues and expenditures back to the existing COPS Fund, where it has been traditionally accounted for in past years, allowing for better accountability and facilitating grant reporting and auditing. As a result, General Fund revenues and expenditures have been reduced, and the COPS Fund revenues and expenditures have been increased.
Additionally, based on the existing available fund balance in the COPS Fund, only a portion of the Police Building Roof Replacement project can be funded from COPS. The total budget for the roof project is $259,486 with $147,941 to be paid with COPS funds next year. The $111,545 balance of the roof project has been retained in General Fund capital program next year.
Additionally, staff added $80,000 to the General Fund Police budget to cover anticipated cost increases in the Sheriff’s contract due to higher anticipated salaries. The Sheriff’s Department is currently in MOU negotiations with its employees.
City of Needles, California
Requestfor City Council Action
Agenda Item 4.
The updated General Fund budget projects a cash reserve balance of $1,436,946 at June 30, 2026 which, at 12.4%, exceeds the reserve goal of 10% of General Fund operating expenditures as required by the City’s Fiscal Stability Policy. $2,300,000 funding for Streets projects is included in the budget with $1,300,000 funded by grants.
Also attached is the Authorized Position List, which includes all the positions included in the departmental budgets, and the City’s financial policies.
The NPUA budgets are included and were recommended for approval by the Board of Public Utilities on May 20, 2025. Budgets were also recommended for approval by the Planning Commission on May 7, 2025, the Parks and Recreation Commission on May 19, 2025, and Cemetery Advisory Board on May 22, 2025.
As per City Charter Section 1102, the budget shall be adopted on or before June 30th of each year.
Fiscal Impact: The budget summaries containing the operating and capital budgets for all departments are attached.
Environmental Impact: None.
Recommended Action: Conduct the Budget Public Hearing and approve Resolutions 2025-27, 06- 10-2025-NPUA, and 2025-10-HACN adopting the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budgets.

Question: What is an INTERNAL SERVICE FUND?
Explanation: There are certain activities that effect the entire City, but are charged to an Internal Service Fund.
The Internal Service Funds are as follows:
NAME OF FUND: PURPOSE OF FUND:
Utility Business Office The operation of billing and collecting utility payments, banking, and General Fund and Golf Course cash deposits.
Management Info. Systems Computer operations and maintenance, WIFI, website, cloud and network services.
Central Purchasing Purchasing of general supplies for City Hall and all City and NPUA departments.
Fleet Maintenance Maintaining all City-owned and NPUA-owned vehicles, trucks, and heavy equipment.
Vehicle Replacement Fund Based on the existing fleet of vehicles, a "savings account" is increased each year to use for future replacement of vehicles.
It is based on an average life of six years per vehicle.
As expenditures occur, they are charged to the appropriate Internal Service Fund.
A monthly allocation is made to all departments of the City and NPUA to cover the expenses of each Internal Service Fund. This allocation is based on the particular department's percentage of usage of that fund.

CITY COUNCIL NPUA Regular Special
Meeting Date: June 10, 2025
Title: City Council Resolution 2025-29 Amending Resolution No. 2025-11 Approving a First Amendment to the Affordable Housing Loan Agreement with 1707 Needles Highway LLC for the Rehabilitation of 1707 Needles Highway, Needles, CA 92363 (APN 0185-048-09-0000) Background: On June 12, 2023, the City of Needles (“City”) was one of eighteen (18) jurisdictions awarded funding under the Prohousing Incentive Pilot (PIP) Program by the State of California.
The City was awarded $445,000 for certain affordable housing activities. The purpose of the program is to provide local jurisdictions funding to help alleviate California’s housing crisis by making additional resources available to local communities.
On January 28, 2025, the City of Needles City Council approved Resolution 2025-11 authorizing the City Manager to enter into certain agreements effectuating a forgivable loan to 1707 Needles Highway LLC. The proceeds of said loan ($275,000) being used to rehabilitate and remodel a former motel into twenty-nine (29) affordable housing units (micro-apartments).
At a previous meeting, the City of Needles had entered into a similar agreement with a different housing developer to create two (2) units of affordable housing from a former commercial building (108 Chestnut).
During the rehabilitation phase of 108 Chestnut, the developer determined (under the advice of multiple general contractors) that the building superstructure would need to be replaced and the building would not be successfully remodeled within the grant period which ends on June 20, 2025.
In consultation with the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), City staff are recommending that the City Council authorize an increase of loan funding for 1707 Needles Highway LLC from $275,000 to $410,000. Ultimately, the City will receive twenty-nine affordable housing units as originally planned, along with the installation of wrought iron fencing around property, creation of and installation of on-site laundry facilities, rehabilitation of a “30th” unit as an onsite manager unit, and development of an outdoor recreation area that will include a shade structure, table and exercise element(s) which shall be approved by the City Manager and/or his designee. This development will eliminate the blight currently being generated from the subject property and make full use of the grant proceeds received from HCD.
The attached resolution authorizes the City Manager and City Attorney to amend (as appropriate) documents related to 1707 Needles Highway LLC and increase the loan amount from $275,000 to $410,000.
Fiscal Impact: Funding of the recommended Affordable Housing Loan does not impact on the City of Needles General Fund or any City of Needles Enterprise Funds (utilities) as funding is derived from HCD’s PIP Program.
Environmental Impact: The building superstructure is already existing and therefore is exempt from any action or predetermined action under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Recommended Action: Adopt City Council Resolution 2025-29 Amending Resolution No. 2025- 11 Approving a First Amendment to the Affordable Housing Loan Agreement with 1707 Needles Highway LLC for the Rehabilitation of 1707 Needles Highway, Needles, CA 92363 (APN 0185-048-09-0000) and direct the City Manager to execute and implement appropriate amended agreement(s).

Since the last meeting, staff has spoken with the resident who originally proposed naming the site the “Needles Little League Baseball Complex.” The resident has revised their recommendation and now proposes naming the site the “Ed Parry Baseball Complex”.
This updated name more directly honors Ed Parry’s legacy and lasting impact on youth sports in the City of Needles. The individual names of Ed Parry Field and Phillips Field will remain unchanged.
The proposed “Ed Parry Baseball Complex” includes the following amenities:
• Ed Parry Field
• Phillips Field
• Little League Baseball Fields
• Player Benches
• Water Fountain
• Public Restrooms
• Snack Shack
Fiscal Impact: Estimated staff time and material costs for updated signage— approximately $500.

MEMORANDUM
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: PATRICK J. MARTINEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: WEEKLY MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 23, 2025
1. Mayor Jernigan, Vice Mayor Campbell, Councilmember McCorkle, and the City Manager proudly represented the City of Needles at the 2025 ICSC Las Vegas convention, held May 18–20 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. This premier gathering of retail and commercial real estate professionals provided an exciting platform to spotlight Needles as a pro-growth, business-friendly community with strategic access to Interstate 40 and over 23,000 vehicles passing through daily. We showcased our growing community and the unique opportunities we offer along the Colorado River, with a focus on attracting retailers, hotel developers, and destination-driven investment. The delegation participated in targeted meetings to market available sites and promote the city’s development potential. The relationships and insights gained at ICSC will directly support our efforts to fill commercial vacancies, expand economic opportunity, and strengthen Needles’ position as a rising destination in the Southwest.
2. A special event will be held on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, to celebrate the grand opening of Krispy Krunchy Chicken at West Side Chevron located at 2321 Needles Hwy. This event marks a significant milestone in the City's ongoing efforts to support local business development and enhance dining options for residents and visitors. We invite the community to welcome this exciting new addition to Needles' growing economy. More details about the event will be shared soon— stay tuned! Refer to the attached flyer for more information.
3. On May 22, 2025, Mayor Jernigan and Vice Mayor Ellen Campbell attended the Inland Empire Tourism Regional Summit, joining regional leaders, Discover IE members, and industry professionals to discuss tourism trends, the upcoming Route 66 Centennial, and strategies to attract international visitors. This participation aligns with the City Council’s goal to promote tourism and recreation as key economic drivers. The summit provided a platform to showcase Needles, engage in idea exchange, and strengthen the city’s role in regional tourism initiatives. Photos of the city's booth and participation are attached.
4. As part of the City Council's commitment to enhancing public amenities, the new drinking fountain at Jack Smith Park was successfully installed this week. The project included completing a ¾" water line and a concrete foundation, providing park visitors with improved access to clean drinking water just in time for the Memorial Day weekend.

The Colorado River Station will be conducting Memorial Day Marine Enforcement Patrol Operations on Friday May 23rd through Monday May 26th. Deputies from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department will be involved in enhanced patrol activities near and on the waterways of the Colorado River patrolling by land, water, and air. Deputies will be deployed from the Nevada State line to the Riverside County line and will be monitoring the waterway for operators operating watercraft under the influence or in a reckless manner. Deputies will also be closely watching for children under the age of 13 without personal floatation devices (PFD’s) while aboard vessels.
The law requires all persons under the age of 13, while onboard a vessel, wear a personal floatation device. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department encourages all persons to wear personal floatation devices while on the waterways as it is a proven fact personal floatation devices save lives.
Other violations commonly seen by marine patrol deputies are transom/bow riding and blue light violations. With the increasing popularity of wake boarding, wake surfing, and tubing, deputies are noticing an increase of people on boats who are transom riding. All persons on board a boat while underway (not moored or at anchor) shall be within the confines of the vessel so the risk of falling overboard or being struck by a propeller is greatly reduced. The blue light law requires all vessels approaching a law enforcement vessel with activated blue lights to come off plane and pass at a no wake speed so not to endanger the deputies during the stop and to reduce the chance of damaging boats.
Deputies will be conducting carriage equipment inspections of all boats stopped for violations. These carriage requirements include; a type IV throwable PFD immediately available, enough PFD’s for every person on board the vessel readily accessible, a servicable fire extinguisher and a sounding device.
All California boat operators are required to have in their possession a California Boater Education Card issued by the CA Division of Boating and Waterways. For information on obtaining a card go to http://californiaboatercard.com/.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department is dedicated to providing a safe boating atmosphere for the public and urges everyone to boat sober and wear their life jackets. For more information regarding safe boating practices, visit the California State Parks Division of Boating and Waterways web site at www.dbw.ca.gov.

MEMORANDUM
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: PATRICK J. MARTINEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: WEEKLY MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 30, 2025
1. On May 30, 2025, Mayor Jernigan and City Manager Patrick Martinez appeared on KNTR’s Speak Out 2.0 to highlight the City of Needles' continued growth and public investment. They discussed over $20 million in active capital improvements, including road paving, water infrastructure, and park upgrades. The City’s expanding recreation program was also featured, with emphasis on youth engagement, community events, and enhanced amenities like the Duke Watkins Park project. The segment highlighted the city’s Prohousing designation, growing tourism economy, and active economic development, all aligning with the City Manager’s view of Needles as a place “where quality of life meets affordability.”
2. As a reminder, the grand opening celebration for Krispy Krunchy Chicken at West Side Chevron (2321 Needles Highway) is happening this Tuesday, June 3, 2025. This exciting addition to our community was reported last week and represents another step forward in supporting local business growth and expanding dining options in Needles. We encourage everyone to stop by, show support, and enjoy the special grand opening deals—two-piece chicken with two sides for just $3.99 and fountain drinks for only 99 cents.
Let’s come together and give a warm welcome to one of our newest small businesses. Refer to the attached flyer for more details, and we look forward to seeing you there!
3. Starting June 2, the Needles Recreation Center is launching a full lineup of summer programs for local youth and families. Summer Day Camp will run from June 2 through August 1, Monday through Thursday from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, and is open to children ages 5–12. The camp provides a safe, engaging environment filled with hands-on activities to keep kids active and learning throughout the summer. Also kicking off in June is the Jr. and Pee Wee Basketball Program for children ages 3–8 (1st and 2nd grade), with games scheduled throughout June and July. Registration closes June 2, so be sure to sign up soon. In addition, swim lessons begin June 9—an
excellent opportunity for kids to build confidence and stay safe in the water. If you haven’t registered yet, there’s still time to reserve a spot. Don’t miss out on a summer filled with fun, fitness, and community spirit. Contact the Recreation Center for more details and registration information. For more details, including registration, pricing, and session times, please refer to the attached flyer or contact the Recreation Center at 760-326-3866.
4. Over Memorial Day weekend, the City’s Utility Department responded swiftly to a 6-inch water main break along River Road, restoring service within two hours. Affected areas included Rio Buena Vista, Chesney’s, Verde Shores, and Jack Smith Park. Some residents experienced temporary water discoloration or reduced pressure. This location is already scheduled for full infrastructure replacement. On May 13, 2025, the City Council awarded a $1.24 million contract to Pyramid Building and Engineering, Inc. to replace the River Road main, upgrade deteriorating service laterals, and reconstruct the manifold near the golf course maintenance yard. The project is fully funded through the State Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF). Please refer to the attached map for a detailed view of the upcoming improvements along River Road. Residents are encouraged to report water leaks by calling 760-326-2115 (press #9) or using the Needles Connect app on the Google Play Store and the Apple Store. Refer to the attached image for a look at the emergency response in action and the progress of the maintenance work.
5. On Friday, May 23, 2025, the lift station at Jack Smith Park experienced a mechanical failure. In response, our Wastewater Department worked diligently over the holiday weekend, manually pumping the station to ensure the public restrooms remained open during the high-traffic period. By Monday evening, the restrooms were temporarily closed to allow staff to begin necessary repairs.
Two brand-new pumps were immediately ordered to restore full functionality.
We extend our sincere thanks to the Fort Mojave Tribal Utilities Authority (FMTUA) for their swift mutual aid response, which played a key role in our emergency operations. As of Thursday, May 29, 2025, the lift station is fully operational, and the system is running smoothly. The new pumps will be installed in the coming weeks upon delivery to further enhance system reliability.
6. On May 26, 2025, Memorial Day services were held at the Needles Riverview Cemetery, where dozens gathered to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in defense of our nation and its freedoms. The annual ceremony, organized by Natalie Johnson Services, featured contributions from over two dozen participants and highlighted the strong sense of community and gratitude that defines Needles. Among the attendees were Mayor Jan Jernigan, representatives from the Fort Mojave Indian Tribe, California Highway Patrol, San Bernardino County Sheriff’s and Fire Departments, Pastor Lam, and members of the American Legion. Please refer to the attached photo for a glimpse into this meaningful event.
7. On May 29, 2025, Palo Verde College hosted its graduation ceremony at the Needles Educational Center, drawing over 100 attendees to celebrate the
accomplishments of 15 graduates, supported by their families and friends. The keynote address was delivered by the PVC Needles Center phlebotomy instructor, offering words of encouragement and inspiration. The graduating class included 8 phlebotomy program graduates, 3 GED recipients, and 4 Associate of Arts (AA) degree graduates. This event highlights Palo Verde College’s continued investment in the Needles community by providing accessible educational pathways that strengthen the local workforce and contribute to long-term economic development.
8. The City of Needles is pleased to announce that Ordinance No. 668-AC has been formally accepted by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The Planning Department worked diligently to ensure the ordinance aligns with current State Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Law, and HCD’s Housing Policy Analyst from the Accountability and Enforcement Unit confirmed the ordinance is substantially compliant. This formal acceptance demonstrates the City’s ongoing commitment to state-compliant housing policy, expands access to affordable housing options, and strengthens Needles’ position for future housing-related funding and incentives. We appreciate HCD’s collaboration and constructive engagement throughout this process.
9. The City of Needles is committed to providing ongoing professional development opportunities for our staff, and we are proud to congratulate members of our Animal Control and Code Enforcement teams for earning their pepper spray training certifications. This training is especially important for frontline personnel who regularly interact with the public in unpredictable or potentially confrontational situations. Ensuring our team is properly trained and equipped helps enhance staff safety, improve incident response, and support effective community enforcement.
10.The City of Needles had a successful Memorial Day weekend, aligning with Council goals to boost tourism and enhance recreational use of the Colorado River. Jack Smith Park was busy with residents and visitors enjoying the river, and City staff worked diligently to keep boat launch operations safe and efficient. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Colorado River Station conducted its annual Marine Enforcement Operation from May 23 to May 26, deploying 11 patrol vessels, an OHV team, dive team, and two helicopters. The operation resulted in 129 enforcement stops, four arrests for boating under the influence, 55 citations, and two boating accident investigations. We thank the Sheriff’s Department for helping ensure a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend for our community and visitors.
11.Congratulations to Needles High School for their outstanding recognition at the 2025 ACES Awards, presented by Tri-State Athletics Community and Education Stars. Sandy Chandler, Head Coach of the Girls Softball Team, was named Coach of the Year for her leadership and impact on studentathletes. The Girls Varsity Basketball Team earned the prestigious title of Team of the Year, and senior Emmy Powell was honored as the Female
Scholar Athlete of the Year. These recognitions highlight the strength of Needles’ student-athletes and the importance of youth programs in building community pride and attracting families to our city.
12.The Needles Unified School District will hold its 2025 Graduation Ceremony on Friday, June 6, 2025, at 8:00 PM at Branigan Field.
