On April 22, 2026, the City Council was presented with a petition containing 653 signatures requesting that the City Council withdraw support for the hydrogen gas project. It has now been 50 days, and the Council has not publicly addressed this matter. As a concerned resident, I would like to know when the Council plans to discuss its position on this issue and communicate its stance to the community. Additionally, as you consider filling tonight's Council vacancy for Gilbert. I encourage you to consider individuals who have consistently attended Council meetings and remain engaged in City affairs. Their participation demonstrates a genuine commitment to the community.

Social media can help the City build trust with the community, solve problems, and provide a better understanding of how the City of Orange Cove improves the quality of life for its residents.
This policy establishes guidelines governing the use of social media by the City of Orange Cove departments and employees for informing the public about City programs, services, and updates. No changes can be made to this policy without City Council approval.

When using social media, City departments shall do the following prior to posting content:
1) Have an official business or public purpose in posting the media that clearly serves City objectives;
2) Review the Terms of Service for the site where the social media will be posted and, as appropriate, obtain approval from the City Counsel, or City Manager
3) Check that content to be posted complies with the City’s policies, including but not limited to technology use and personnel policies;
4) Ensure federal, state, and local laws are followed, including:
a) Copyright law: For example, posting a video, image (including individuals’ names or likenesses), or music without receiving a license or authorization may violate copyrightlaw; b) Trademark law; and
c) Other third-party rights, including individuals’ rights of privacy, are respected. 5) Direct any questions regarding legal issues, including compliance with trademark and copyright laws, to the Legal Counsel.
6) Adjust settings to allow public comments only on City social media posts and not directly on City platforms.
7) Reset the social media password after a Social Media Representative is removed as a social media account administrator;
The City Council reserves the right to terminate any City social media site at any time.
INFORMATION POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA SITES
1) Social media should be used by City departments to communicate City information to the public, but not for other purposes.
2) To help prevent errors and liability issues, social media postings should be made by a Social Media Representative for the department who has been authorized to do so by the Department Head. The Social Media Representative shall only post content reflecting the views of the City, not his or her personal views or concerns. 3) If a mistake occurs, the department should correct the mistake as soon as it is made aware of the error. If an earlier post is modified, it should be clear that the posting has been corrected.
Consider designating corrections with “Fixed link” or “Fact correction” prior to the correction. 4) The public is not allowed to post content on a City platform but, if permitted by the department, may comment on posts made by the City. If public comment is permitted, social media account settings shall be adjusted to enable public comments only on individual posts, not on the Department’s overall platform or page.

For questions about whether a posting falls within one of the above categories or whether a posting containing content not appearing on the list should be removed, the City department should contact the City Manager prior to taking action to remove the post. 7) City departments should direct users back to the City’s website when appropriate and possible for further information;
8) City departments must use branding, such as logo use, on social media postings; 9) City departments are encouraged to use social media platforms to share informationabout partnerships that align with the City’s mission and objectives, and to highlight collaborative efforts, shared initiatives, and joint achievements.
City of Orange Cove- Social Media Policy
6/24/2026
10) City departments should include the Social Media Comment Policy (see Appendix A), indicating the discussion is moderated and inappropriate content will be removed, if the profile settings can accommodate it. If the profile settings cannot accommodate the Social Media Comment Policy, the social media site shall include a link to the policy. This Social Media Comment Policy must be included, or a link provided to the policy, on all social media sites. 11) City departments may choose to disable Direct Messaging on City social media accounts.
However, if Direct Messaging is disabled, City departments must provide an alternate method for members of the public to contact the department, such as an email address or phonenumber. 12) Direct or indirect communications between members of a legislative body, such as members of the City Council and/or planning commissions should be strictly avoided to prevent potential violations of the Brown Act or the Better Government Ordinance.
ADVERTISING ON SOCIAL MEDIA
1) Purpose: If a City department chooses to advertise on social media, the advertising should align with the City’s mission, priorities, and strategic goals, focusing on informing, educating, and engaging the public.
2) Content: Ads must be clear, accurate, and consistent with City messaging. Ads must not include endorsements, testimonials, or promotion of private entities or political positions, and should avoid content that could be perceived as partisan, promotional, or controversial. 3) Targeting: Ad targeting should be inclusive and nondiscriminatory, ensuring fair access to information for all audiences. Use targeting to enhance reach and relevance while respecting privacy and equity.
The Public Records Act & Retention of Posted Information 1) Information posted on City social media sites is subject to the California Public Records Act. 2) Departments must retain comments, posts, and other content on City social media sites, including prohibited content removed by staff, for the period required by law and in accordance with department policy. Records of removed prohibited content must include the name of the staff member who removed the content, and the date, time and reason for the removal.
3) Departments must use approved archiving tools to capture, store, and manage all social media activity. Archiving solutions should ensure that records are searchable, accessible, and compliant with retention and public disclosure requirements.
City of Orange Cove- Social Media Policy
6/24/2026
Employees’ Personal Social Media Accounts:
The line between personal and professional, public, and private can be easily blurred in social media.
The following guidelines must be followed when using a personal social mediaaccount:
1) Because many social media platforms require personal accounts for administrative access, personal social media accounts may be used to manage City media accounts. When using personal accounts for City page management, the following guidelines should be followed:
· Maintain Professional Boundaries: Staff should use their personal accounts solely for administrative purposes. Staff should remain mindful of their roles and avoid any activity that could blur the lines between their personal and professional identities, such as interjecting personal opinions or information into City posts.
· Do Not Speak on Behalf of the City: Staff should refrain from using personal accounts to make statements or comments as an official City representative unless specifically authorized. 2) Employees with personal social media accounts are prohibited from posting on their accounts confidential information obtained from the City, such as personnel data, medical information, and attorney-client privileged information.
3) When commenting on City business, employees, supervisors, or policies on a personal account, employees should take care to make it clear that their personal opinions are their own and do not represent the official policy position of the City.

City of Orange Cove- Social Media Policy
6/24/2026
The comments posted on this site do not reflect the views of the City of Orange Cove or its elected officials and employees. Reference in any comment to a viewpoint, product, service, entity, or organization is solely attributable to the individual commenter. Comments may not be reproduced for the purpose of stating or implying City endorsement or approval of any viewpoint, product, service, entity, or organization. Inappropriate comments may remain posted for a significant amount of time prior to being noticed and deleted by an administrator; however, this should not be construed as an approval of the comment or an exception to the comment policy.

Residents have communicated their concerns through public meetings, phone calls, text messages, social media engagement, emails, and direct conversations with elected officials.
In addition, a community petition containing more than 650 signatures from Orange Cove residents has been submitted to the City Council. The petition requests that the City formally oppose the proposed hydrogen blending demonstration project and withdraw any support associated with its implementation within the community.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this report is to recommend the adoption of the 2026-2027 operating and capital budget for the City of Orange Cove. The budget process has involved extensive collaboration among departments, community stakeholders, and the Finance Department.
BACKGROUND:
The 2026-2027 budget outlines the financial plan for the upcoming year. Key highlights include:
Balanced Approach: The budgeted expenditures in the General Fund were budgeted within revenue estimates to ensure stability while accommodating essential services and growth.
Operating Budget Priorities:
• Salaries and benefits with a 1% cost-of-living adjustment for Local 39 city employees and 2% for PORAC employees.
• Implementation of the new Water/Wastewater rates based on our utility rate study.
Capital Investments:
• Road repairs, parks enhancement, and water system upgrades to improve infrastructure.
Staffing and Compensation:
• Authorization of full-time and part-time positions to meet the operational needs of the city. • Adoption of the Master Salary Table to ensure fair and competitive compensation for city employees.
Financial Management:
• Adoption of the Annual Investment Policy to guide prudent financial resource management and maximize returns within acceptable risk parameters.
Compliance with State Mandates:
• Establishment of the Annual Appropriations Limit in accordance with the GANN Limit to comply with California’s fiscal regulations aligning with the California per-capita personal income factor used for Article XIII B calculations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The adoption of the 2026-2027 budget will have significant fiscal implications for the City of Orange Cove. Key points to consider include:
• Revenue Stability:
o The General fund budget reflects a balanced approach, considering both existing revenue streams and potential growth.
o Implementation of the new water/wastewater rates to ensure operational and capital improvement projects are fully funded.
• Expenditure Allocations: City staff made adjustments in department budgets to reduce flexible expenditures that would have minimal impact to city service levels. • Long-Term Sustainability: The capital budget investments in infrastructure will contribute to the city’s long-term viability.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the thorough review of the proposed budget, we recommend that the City Council approve the 2026-2027 operating and capital budget along with attached resolutions. This decision aligns with our commitment to responsible financial management and community wellbeing.
ALTERNATIVES:
While staff recommends adopting the proposed budget, the City Council may consider the following alternatives:
• Approve the budget as presented, requests staff return with amendments in future meetings.
• Do not approve the budget, and request adjustments to be adopted in the next meeting.

June 24, 2026
Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council, and Residents of Orange Cove:
I am pleased to present the City of Orange Cove Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Operating Budget. This budget reflects both the progress the City has made over the past year and the financial realities that continue to shape the decisions before us. It is a responsible budget built around maintaining essential services, continuing the City’s recovery from prior-year financial challenges, and investing where limited dollars can provide meaningful benefit to residents.
Over the last year, the City has made measurable progress in rebuilding its financial foundation.
The City Council accepted the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 audited financial statements in May 2026, reducing the City’s audit backlog and moving Orange Cove closer to current financial reporting. The audit received a clean, unmodified opinion, while also acknowledging repeat findings related to year-end reporting, bank reconciliations, reimbursements, and credit card documentation.
Importantly, the City has already made progress in addressing those findings, including improved finance operations and completed bank reconciliations.
The City’s current financial position did not develop in a single year. Like many small cities, Orange Cove was significantly affected by staff turnover, the administrative disruption caused by COVIDera conditions, and the difficulty of maintaining complex financial operations with limited staffing capacity. These conditions contributed to delayed audits, incomplete reconciliations, and a need to reconstruct prior-year records before the City could move forward with confidence. The work has been difficult, but the City is now in a much better position than it was just a few years ago.
Finance procedures are being standardized, institutional knowledge is being rebuilt, and the City is working toward a structure that can be sustained beyond any one employee, consultant, or audit cycle.
The prior-year budget also recognized a major challenge in the City’s enterprise funds. Water and wastewater operations were presented with deficits pending completion of a comprehensive utility rate study. That study has now been completed, and the City Council considered rate adjustments intended to recover negative fund balances, address negative annual cash flow, and begin funding deferred capital repair needs in the water and wastewater systems. The rate study notes that both enterprise funds had negative cash flows and negative fund balances, and that significant deferred June 24, 2026 City of Orange Cove - Finance Department 3 maintenance exists in both systems. To reduce the immediate burden on residents, the proposed increases were staged over time rather than fully implemented in one year, while staff continues to pursue grant funding to reduce the need for future rate impacts.
This budget also reflects the reality that available General Fund dollars remain limited. The City has made significant reductions and adjustments to account for current revenues, known obligations, and service needs. These choices are never easy. They require the City to distinguish between what is needed, what is desired, and what can be responsibly funded at this time. The result is a budget that protects core services while continuing to position the City for long-term stability.
Even within these constraints, there are important success stories. The City has continued to secure and deploy outside funding for community improvements, including public infrastructure, water system reliability, and park access. Recent Council actions included grant-funded water infrastructure work, a water main loop project near Monson Avenue and Martinez Street. The City also celebrated the Sheridan Park improvements, with Council comments noting strong community participation and families enjoying the park following the grand opening.
The City also continues to invest in residents directly. Over the past year, Orange Cove closed out a CDBG subsistence payment program that assisted 256 households with rent, mortgage, or utility payments, distributing approximately $467,290 in assistance to eligible residents. The City also continued supporting community activities, including youth programs, recreation, school programs, and community celebrations. These investments may be modest in dollar amount compared with large infrastructure projects, but they matter because they improve quality of life and strengthen the connection between City services and the residents they serve.
Looking ahead, there are reasons to be optimistic. The City is actively working on economic development, including meetings with potential developers and businesses, and participation in regional and industry events intended to attract investment. Recent Planning Commission activity also reflects interest in new local uses, including adding gym and auto detailing uses as permitted uses in the C-3 commercial zone, while earlier Planning Commission action included a tentative parcel map for property at 811 “I” Street. These are not budget solutions by themselves, but they are signs of continued private-sector interest and a City that is working to make future growth possible.
The City is also investing in better governance and resident engagement. Council discussions on the citywide strategic plan identified priorities including financial reserves, diversified revenues, public health and safety, roads, sidewalks, lighting, economic development, parks and recreation, civic engagement, and transparency. The City has also approved implementation of the Civicly resident engagement platform, which will allow residents to report issues such as graffiti, potholes, and noise complaints while allowing staff to track and respond to service requests more effectively.
The Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget should be understood as part of a larger recovery and rebuilding effort. It does not solve every problem in one year, and it does not pretend that Orange Cove’s financial challenges are behind us. However, it does show that the City is moving in the right direction: audits are being completed, financial practices are being strengthened, enterprise fund June 24, 2026 City of Orange Cove - Finance Department 4 challenges are being addressed, infrastructure needs are being identified, and the City is continuing to invest in programs and projects that benefit residents.
I want to thank the City Council for its leadership, City staff for their continued work during a challenging transition period, and the residents of Orange Cove for their patience, participation, and commitment to the community. This budget is a practical step forward. It reflects the City’s commitment to fiscal responsibility, transparency, and steady progress toward a stronger and more sustainable Orange Cove.
City of Orange Cove
June 24, 2026 City of Orange Cove - Finance Department 5 Budget Fundamentals
Preparation
Management has prepared the budget within these parameters and under these key assumptions. Living Within Its Means - The city’s proposed and adopted budget should keep expenditures within projected revenues and other available funding sources. Prudent Service Delivery - The city should maintain its established level of core service delivery while ensuring any new services, initiatives, or programs meet objectives and can be funded with new or existing resources.
Prioritizing the Future - The city should review special and major maintenance or capital projects to prioritize funding for only high priority or essential projects.
Budget Guide
This budget guide provides an overview of the elements of the budget document. The budget is the city’s fundamental policy document. It describes the city’s goals and objectives and indicates how resources are allocated to achieve those goals. In addition to its role as a policy document, the budget also serves as a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communication tool.
The City of Orange Cove keeps track of its activities in self-balancing sets of accounts called funds which are the basic accounting and reporting components in governmental accounting. Funds are designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid financial management by segregating transactions related to certain functions or activities.
Some funds are established to track activities required by law (i.e., gas tax fund), some fulfill revenue requirements (CDBG, Measure C funds), still others demonstrate prudent administrative practices (Enterprise funds and Debt Service).
Budget years run in fiscal year cycles beginning July 1 and ending June 30.
The operating budget is approved and balanced by fund. Some fund balance dollars are reserved for future expenses for several reasons. For example, a portion of special taxes, such as the gas tax, may be reserved and restricted for specific services or purposes such as street improvements. Other reserved balances may be a legal requirement such as a required reserve balance to comply with long-term bond debt covenants.
The city receives many different types of revenue. Some revenues are restricted to certain uses by law; other revenues are payment for a specific service provided to its customers; other revenues come from state and federal agencies; and other revenues are from involuntary taxes like sales tax or property tax. These revenues are organized and classified by source within the appropriate funds.
Basis of Accounting
The city uses what are known as accounts to organize its resources and to classify the use of those resources within funds and account groups. The operations of each fund are recorded in a separate set of self-balancing ledgers and classified as assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures (or expenses), as appropriate. Each fund is classified as either a Governmental, Proprietary, or Fiduciary Fund.
Each has its own rules and purposes. The following paragraphs explain these three classifications.
June 24, 2026 City of Orange Cove - Finance Department 6 Governmental Fund Types
Governmental funds are used to account for all of the city’s general activities (general fund) plus the collection and disbursement of earmarked monies (special revenue funds), the acquisition of or construction of general fixed assets (capital project funds), and the servicing of general long-term debt (debt service funds). The General Fund is used to account for all the activities of the general government not accounted for in another fund.
Enterprise Funds
Enterprise funds are used to account for activities similar to those found in the private sector, where the determination of net income is necessary or useful to sound financial administration and the primary intent is to recover the costs of providing the goods and services through user charges.
Goods or services from such activities can be provided either to outside parties (enterprise funds) or to other departments or agencies primarily with the government (internal service funds).
Agency Funds
Agency (or Fiduciary) funds are used to account for assets held on behalf of outside parties in a trustee capacity.
Basis of Budgeting
The budget is adopted to be consistent with generally accepted account principles as expressed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. The budgets of the governmental fund types (general fund, special revenue, capital projects, and debt service) are prepared on a modified-accrual basis. This means expenditures are recorded when the liability is incurred, and revenues are recognized if they are received during the fiscal year or shortly thereafter.
In addition, the city treats encumbrances as expenditures only for budgetary control purposes.
Encumbrances open at year-end are reported as reservations of fund balances since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. Available expendable resources include beginning fund balance and current year revenues and transfers from other funds.
The basis for establishing the spending plans for the proprietary fund types, internal service funds (administrative services, risk management, and vehicle & equipment), and enterprise funds (water, sewer, and disposal) are on a full-accrual basis. Expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred, and revenues are recognized when the service is provided. Available expendable resources for proprietary funds included beginning working capital, current revenues, and transfers in. Beginning working capital is defined as current assets minus current liabilities, in other words, cash available to pay expenses.
Budget Process
The budget represents the financial plan for the City of Orange Cove. This document concludes an ongoing process involving input from departments and the public. Budget development is a process that typically begins in February and continues until the budget is adopted by the City Council in June.
Review of Goals
There are several goals associated with preparation and development of the budget. First, the budget is a financial plan and management tool. The document should assist staff in monitoring revenues and expenditures and in evaluation the effectiveness of City activity and services. Second, the budget serves as June 24, 2026 City of Orange Cove - Finance Department 7 an important reference document. It should provide staff, City Council and the general public with extensive information on the nature and scope of city operations and services.
Department Budget Requests
The Finance Department issues revenue and expenditure budget sheets listing the prior year actual expenditures, current year appropriation amounts and space to input budget requests for the upcoming year. The departments fill out the forms providing sufficient justification for significant changes in revenues or expenditures. All budget requests are returned to the Finance Department.
Budget Review and Analysis
Department budget requests are reviewed by the City Manager, Finance Director, and Department Heads to ensure the intent of all budget requests is understood and complete. The budgets are analyzed in various ways, including evaluation of historical expenditure patterns as well as departmental operations. Spending priorities are based on the city’s financial policies and mandated requirements focusing on service levels, complying with bond requirements, and the balancing of staffing, supplies and equipment. After the reviews, the management staff make their final adjustments and recommendations for presentation to City Council.
City Council Adoption
The proposed budget is printed and distributed prior to any public hearings. The city may hold additional workshops or conduct community surveys to help identify budget needs or preferences. After receiving input from the public, committees, and staff, the City Council may request any necessary final adjustments.
If needed, a second public hearing may be held to finalize and adopt the budget.
Budget Amendments
Following the adoption of the budget, it is sometimes necessary to amend the budget. Appropriations in the budget may be adjusted by recommendation of the Finance Director and approval by the City Manager when the budget is not increased in total amount. Savings from appropriations in one section of a department budget may be used to fund another section of a department budget. Any increase in appropriations that would increases the total adopted budget must be approved by the City Council.

• To maintain a financially viable City that can maintain quality municipal services to City of Orange Cove residents
• To maintain and enhance the sound fiscal condition of the City Operating Budget Policy Goals
• The City of Orange Cove will adopt a balanced budget by June 30 of each year. • Current revenues will be suƯicient to support current operating expenditures. • The City will project its equipment replacement and maintenance needs for the next five years and will update this projection each year. From this projection a maintenance and replacement schedule will be developed and followed.
• Allow appropriation adjustments during the year with the City Council approval, each request to include a fiscal impact analysis
• The City will estimate its annual revenue by an objective, analytical process utilizing trend, judgmental, and statistical analysis as appropriate
• Because revenues, especially those of the General Fund, are sensitive to both local and regional economic conditions, revenue projections will be adequately conservative • One-time revenues will be used for one-time expenditures only • User fees will be adjusted annually to recover the full cost of services provided, except when the City Council determines that a subsidy from the General Fund is in the public interest • The City will maintain a level of expenditures that will provide the public well-being and safety of the community
Reserve Policies
• The City will maintain a General Fund Reserve of $2,000,000. The primary purpose of this reserve is to protect the City’s essential service programs and funding requirement during periods of economic downturn or other unforeseen catastrophic costs. • The City will allocate a minimum of $50,000 annually to the general Fund Reserves during the budget adoption process.
• Council approval is required before expending general fund or contingency reserves.
Utility Rates and Fees Policies
• The City will set fees and user charges for each enterprise fund at a level that supports the total direct cost of the activity. Indirect costs include the cost of annual depreciation of capital assets and overhead charges
• Utility rates will be established, reviewed and updated annually Short-term Debt Policies
• The City may use short-term debt to cover temporary or emergency cash flow shortages. All short-term borrowing will be subject to City Council approval by ordinance or resolution prior to final commitment
• The City may issue inter-fund loans rather than outside debt instruments to short-term cash flow needs. Inter-fund loans will be permitted only if an analysis of the aƯected fund indicates June 24, 2026 City of Orange Cove - Finance Department 12 excess funds are available and the use of these funds will not impact the fund’s current operations. Interest rate will be set by City Council.
Long-term Debt Policies
• The City will confine long-term borrowing to capital improvements that cannot be financed by current revenues
• Where possible, the City will use special assessments, revenue, or other self-supporting bonds, and general obligations bonds
• Proceeds from long-term debt will not be used for current on-going operations June 24, 2026 City of Orange Cove - Finance Department 13 Investment Policy
It is the policy of the City of Orange Cove’s office to invest public funds in accordance with the governing statutes and in such a manner as to obtain the highest investment return possible consistent with the safety and liquidity objective outlined in this policy.
Scope
This investment policy applies to all financial assets of the City of Orange Cove. These funds are accounted for in City of Orange Cove’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and include:
• General Fund.
• Special Revenue Funds.
• Capital Project Funds.
• Enterprise Funds.
• Trust and Agency Funds.
• Any new fund created by the legislative body, unless specifically exempted.
Prudence
Investments shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be derived.
The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the “Prudent Person” standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio under prevailing economic conditions at the moment of investment commitments. Investment officers acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and exercising due diligence, shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
In determining whether an Investment official has exercised prudence with respect to an investment decision, the determination shall be made taking into consideration the investment of all funds over which the official had responsibility rather than a consideration as to the prudence of a single investment, and, whether the investment decision was consistent with the written investment policy of the entity.
Objectives
The City's investments will be in accordance with all state statutes governing the investment of public funds. The City shall invest its cash with three objectives, listed in order of priority:
1. Safety. Safety of the principal invested is the primary objective to insure against loss. All investments must be fully insured, guaranteed, or collateralized. In order to obtain this objective, the portfolio will be diversified to guard against losses in any one security class. The City seeks to maximize protection aƯorded by the FDIC and the State's Public Deposit Protection Commission on its depository accounts.
2. Liquidity. The City's portfolio will remain suƯiciently liquid to enable the City to meet all operating requirements, which might be reasonably anticipated. Investment maturities shall be matched to anticipated cash flow requirements whenever possible. At a minimum, the City will "ladder" June 24, 2026 City of Orange Cove - Finance Department 14 investment maturities to coincide with cash outflow needs and to ensure a consistent minimum balance in the liquid portion of the portfolio.
3. Return on Investment. The City's investment portfolio shall attain a market-average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the cash flow characteristics of the City and shall be in keeping with accepted financial management practices and procedures.
Investment Authority and Delegation
Authority to manage the investment program is granted to the Finance Director hereinafter referred to as investment officer as designated by City Code.
Responsibility for the operation of the investment program is hereby delegated to the Investment Officer who shall act in accordance with this Investment Policy. Officers will prepare monthly investment reports and other special reports as may be deemed necessary.
All participants in the investment process shall seek to act responsibly as custodians of the public trust. No officer or designee may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and supporting procedures.
Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from any personal business activity that could conflict with the proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. The Investment Officer shall disclose any material financial interest in financial institutions that conduct business with the City, and they shall further disclose any personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the City's portfolio.
Authorized Investments
The City’s investments shall be consistent with the State Policy of California:
• Certificates, notes, bonds, or other obligations of the United States or its agencies, or of any corporation wholly owned by the government of the United States, such as:
o Treasury bills.
o Treasury bonds.
o Government National Mortgage Association bonds.
o Federal Home Loan Bank notes and bonds.
o Federal National Mortgage Association notes, debentures, and guaranteed certificates of participation.
• Obligations of any other government-sponsored corporation whose obligations are or may become eligible as collateral for advances to member banks as determined by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, such as:
o Federal Farm Credit Banks consolidated system-wide bonds and discount notes. o Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation bonds and discount notes. o Federally Insured Certificates of Deposit
o Continuously investing a portion of the portfolio in readily available funds such as the LAIF (Local Agency Investment Fund)
• The City may also invest in other Joint Powers Authorities (JPAs) that meet the State Policy of California criteria for eligible investments such as:
June 24, 2026 City of Orange Cove - Finance Department 15 o California Asset Management Program (CAMP), a California Joint Powers Authority (JPA) established in 1989 to provide professional investment services to California public agencies.
CAMP oƯers two primary investment options:
CAMP Pool: A fully liquid, stable net asset value (NAV) investment emphasizing daily liquidity and safety of principal. It holds an AAAm rating from Standard & Poor’s.
CAMP Term: Designed for agencies with known cash flows, this fixed-rate, fixed-term investment option oƯers securities with maturities ranging from 60 days to one year. It is rated AAAf by Fitch.
Investment principal and interest are paid at maturity, with an automatic sweep into the CAMP Pool.
Safekeeping and Custody
Securities shall be held at a major national bank (such as Bank of New York, for example).
Maximum Maturities
The City's objective is to hold investments to maturity. The securities in the portfolio will be "laddered" and will attempt to match investments with anticipated cash flow requirements.
No single security will be purchased with a maturity date more than five years from the date of purchase.
Internal Controls
These reviews provide internal control by assuring compliance with the established policies, procedures, and prudent investment practices as outlined above.
The City Council will meet on a quarterly basis for review of the investment portfolio and performance. The Finance Director will provide a report summarizing investment activity, which will demonstrate compliance with the City’s Investment Policy.
Performance Standards
The investment portfolio will be designed to obtain an average rate of return during budgetary and economic cycles consistent with the investment objectives and cash flow needs.
The investment strategy is active. Given this strategy, the benchmark used by the Treasurer to determine performance levels will be the average return on the LAIF (Local Agency Investment Fund). Yield considerations are secondary, however, to legality, safety, and liquidity.
Reporting
The Treasurer shall provide the City Council with a quarterly report for review, which will demonstrate compliance with the City of Orange Cove’s Investment Policy. This report will summarize the current performance of the portfolio for City as measured against the benchmark, including the following:
• A listing of individual securities held at the end of the reporting period. • Final maturity of all investments listed.
• Earnings rate.

CITY OF ORANGE COVE
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
To: Orange Cove City Council
From: Orfil Muniz, PE, City Engineer
Subject: Adoption of Fiscal Year 2026-27 SB 1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) Project List
Attachments: Resolution No. 2026-22
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-22, adopting a list of projects for Fiscal Year 2026-27 to be funded by SB 1: the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, and authorizing submittal of the adopted project list to the California Transportation Commission (CTC).
BACKGROUND:
In 2017, the California Legislature passed and the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, which created the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) to address deferred maintenance on the state highway system and local streets and roads. A portion of RMRA revenue is apportioned by statutory formula to cities and counties for road maintenance, rehabilitation, and safety projects on the local street and road system.
SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions. As a condition of receiving its annual RMRA apportionment, the City must adopt, by resolution at a regular public meeting, a list of projects proposed to be funded with these revenues. Each listed project must include a description, the location, a proposed schedule for completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement. The adopted list must be submitted to the CTC by July 1 each year, a deadline that may be extended at the CTC's discretion.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Orange Cove is estimated to receive approximately $255,846 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2026-27. Staff has prepared the attached project list using a pavement condition For the Regular Meeting of June 24, 2026
assessment and input from City staff to ensure that funds are directed to the highest-priority, most cost-effective projects consistent with the community's transportation needs.
The following projects are proposed for FY 2026-27 RMRA funding (described in full, with location, schedule, and useful life, in Attachment A):
1. Park Boulevard Resurfacing – pavement rehabilitation (grind and overlay), localized repairs, restriping, and ADA curb ramp upgrades, from Anchor Avenue to Hill Valley Road.
2. South Avenue / Fourth Street Improvements – RMRA used as a local supplement to the programmed street improvement project for items not covered by the Caltrans/CTC allocation.
3. Citywide Pavement Maintenance Program – crack sealing, slurry seal, pothole patching, localized repairs, and restriping at various locations.
4. Citywide ADA Curb Ramp and Sidewalk Repair Program – construction and retrofit of ADA-compliant curb ramps and repair of damaged sidewalk, curb, and gutter.
Projects may be funded in whole or in part with RMRA revenues and may be combined with other local, state, or federal funding. Listing more projects than the annual apportionment preserves flexibility; unspent RMRA funds carry over to subsequent fiscal years.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of the resolution authorizes the City to receive its estimated $255,846 FY 2026-27 RMRA apportionment for the listed projects. There is no impact to the General Fund. RMRA revenues are restricted to eligible street, road, and active transportation purposes.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST:
None.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Orange Cove City Council
Joe Estrada, Public Works Director
Request for Approval to purchase a New K & M Infrared Asphalt Recycler Quote Crafco Preservation Products, $28,939.76
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the purchase of a $29,939.76 6' x 8'-foot K & M Infrared Asphalt Recycler machine, through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing program using available Street Fund monies.
The addition of this equipment will enhance the City's ability to perform seamless, high-quality pothole repairs while reducing asphalt waste, lowering material costs, and improving the efficiency of in-house street maintenance operations.
BACKGROUND:
The city recently purchased a K & M Hot Box to improve asphalt maintenance capabilities. By adding the 6' x 8' K & M Infrared Asphalt Recycler, Public Works staff will be able to heat and rejuvenate existing asphalt in place, allowing for more durable and seamless repairs compared to traditional patching methods.
The infrared recycling process minimizes cold joints and extends the life of repairs by blending new and existing asphalt together. This technology enables staff to complete pothole and pavement repairs more efficiently while reducing the amount of new asphalt material required.
The equipment will provide the following operational benefits:
• Produces seamless asphalt repairs that improve pavement performance and longevity. • Reduces the amount of new asphalt needed by recycling and reheating existing pavement. • Decrease material waste and disposal costs.
• Improves productivity by allowing crews to complete repairs more quickly. • Reduces the need for outside contractors for routine pothole repairs. • Maximizes the effectiveness of the City's recently acquired K & M Hot Box and enhances the overall street maintenance program.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of this purchase will provide Public Works with modern equipment to improve street maintenance operations, reduce long-term repair costs, and deliver higher-quality pothole repairs throughout the City of Orange Cove. The investment supports the City's commitment to maintaining safe and reliable roadways while using public funds efficiently.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The $28,939.76 purchase will be funded through the City's Street Fund. Staff proposes utilizing the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing program, allowing the city to obtain competitively procured pricing while streamlining the procurement process and ensuring value for taxpayers.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST:
None .
