RFP Introduction – Background – Scope of Services
2 INTRODUCTION
The City of Oroville is seeking a firm to provide City-wide towing services for the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement and Nuisance Abatement programs, and the occasional towing of Department vehicles as the need arises. The City at their option, may consider awarding contracts based upon the attached Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Towing Map.

The City intends to award a contract to a firm that shall meet our qualification criteria and has successfully performed services on similar projects in the past. The successful firm shall be required to enter into a contract with the City for the services requested in this RFP within a reasonable time after award. A firm submitting a proposal must be prepared to use the City's standard contract form rather than its own contract form. The contract shall include terms appropriate for this project. Generally, the terms of the contract shall include, but are not limited to: (1) completion of the project within the timeframe provided; (2) no additional work authorized without prior approval; (3) no payment without prior approval; (4) funding availability; (5) termination of contract under certain conditions; (6) indemnification of the City; (7) approval by the City of any subcontractors; and (8) minimum appropriate insurance requirements. A Model Agreement is attached as Exhibit B to this RFP. The City intends to award a contract substantially in the form of the Model Agreement to the selected contractor (s).

BACKGROUND
The City as a jurisdictional member of the Butte County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement (AVA) Program Service Authority encompassing the incorporated areas of the City Limits of Oroville in Butte City began towing abandoned vehicles in December 2003.

Funds for the AVA program are generated from a one dollar registration fee collected by the State of California. Each quarter, after the State takes out their administrative fee, the registration funds are sent to the Butte County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Joint Powers Authority for distribution to the participating jurisdictions (Biggs, Chico, Gridley, Oroville, Paradise and Butte City). The City receives an administrative fee for staff support (Development Services, Butte County Counsel, and Auditor’s Office) to the Butte County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Joint Powers Authority program (all jurisdictions) and the remaining funds are divided in half. One half of the funds are paid to each jurisdiction solely based upon their percentage of population. The remaining half of the funds are paid to each jurisdiction based upon the number of tows.

Tow companies in good standing on California Highway Patrol (CHP) Tow Service Agreement (TSA) rotation were eligible to enter into an Agreement with the City of Oroville for towing abandoned vehicles at the direction of the City of Oroville Code Enforcement Department, Oroville Police Department (OPD), and Municipal Law Enforcement Officers (MLE) or Code Enforcement Officers.

Tow rates were initially established with input from tow companies and licensed Dismantlers, other jurisdictions, and City staff. Charges for towing “over-sized” vehicles were established by a bid process involving those tow companies equipped and willing to tow larger vehicles. 12 Item 1.

RFP Introduction – Background – Scope of Services
3 AVA funds are intended to help jurisdictions cover the costs of the program. Eligible costs include staff time and expenses related to the program. Initially the City of Oroville (jurisdiction), invested in making the program a success, towed a large number of vehicles (which gave us a larger portion of each quarter’s funding), and used the funding to pay for those tows. Increased costs of towing “over-sized” vehicles, along with the continued volume of tows eventually exceeded the City of Oroville AVA funding and the City committed additional funds, to continue towing. AVA funding was not available then to cover the hours of time put in by the code enforcement department, administrative staff, or AVA-related expenses – which was absorbed by the City of Oroville.

The time commitment to the AVA program by the Department is significant. Resources devoted to this program which have the potential of being compensated for by AVA funds, reduce the time available to spend on other equally important efforts that do not have the same level of funding resources. It is intended that via this RFP we find the most costeffective way to deliver tow services and optimize funding resources.

We expect the successful bidder to this RFP to begin work on July 1, 2025, or sooner, upon full execution of an agreement with the City of Oroville.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Overview. The incorporated portion of the City Limits within the County of Butte is the area covered by this RFP. The attached Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Towing Map shows boundaries.

1. California Highway Patrol Rotation List and Tow Service Agreement. Towing firms shall:
• maintain membership in good standing on one or more of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) rotation lists for City of Oroville (City) (at City’s option, the City may consider tow companies, dismantlers and licensed scrap dealers in good standing on CHP rotation lists in other than the City of Oroville. • be currently in compliance, and maintain that status, with all conditions, meeting all requirements and consistently following all protocols set forth in the current Department of California Highway Patrol Tow Service Agreement; • apply and follow these standards as respects to services provided for the City; and notify City immediately of any disciplinary actions resulting in letters of written reprimand, suspensions or termination of their CHP Tow Service Agreement. • only use those tow vehicles authorized/inspected as part of CHP rotation.

Failure to apply the above-referenced standards, maintain good standing, or to notify City of any disciplinary action, shall be immediate cause for cancellation of any subsequent towing agreement entered into with City of Oroville, at the sole discretion of the City of Oroville.
13 Item 1.

Should failure to maintain good standing, impact the City of Oroville in their ability to provide towing services for the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement program, either programmatically or fiscally, City of Oroville may hold contractor liable for damages and seek restitution for breach of the agreement. Such restitution may be in the form of withholding payment for services provided. In no case shall the City be liable to pay for services provided while a tow company is on suspension or terminated from the CHP program.

2. Response Time of Abatement Services. This is a critical element of the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement program and one that shall be given due consideration in reviewing responses. Interested firms must be able to respond to single and/or multiple removals at any given time. The City reserves the right to authorize a time extension to towing firms for vehicle removal and recovery services.
• “Priority” Tows. Tow services for vehicles that impact Health and Safety due to their location and/or condition require the quickest response time. For reference purposes, these shall be referred to as “priority” tows. • “Scheduled” Tows. Other tows, not as critical in nature, may be able to be “Scheduled”, perhaps on certain days for certain areas, or on a case-by-case basis.

Firms shall be asked to provide both response times for “priority” tows and “scheduled” tows.

The City of Oroville reserves the right to make multiple awards and/or purchase subsequent services on the open market if necessary, to provide for timely removal of vehicles in the event contracted towing firm(s) fail to perform within the required frame.

In such instances, the City of Oroville shall have the right to deduct from any monies due, or that may after become due, to the contracted firm(s) the difference between the price named in the contract and the actual cost thereof to the City.

3. Volume Capacity of Abatement Services. Interested firms must be able to respond to single and/or multiple removals at any given time. The volume of vehicles that can be towed in any one day, is another critical element considered in the review of responses.

This is especially true with regards to removal of vehicles from private properties which are performed under the Nuisance Abatement program and require removal with a specified time.

Firms which possess multiple car carriers are anticipated to offer better prices than a firm with limited ability to tow multiple vehicles from one site, within the span of time available.

4. Storage Facilities. In addition to meeting the requirements for storage facilities contained in the CHP Tow Services Agreement, storage facilities must be in compliance with zoning regulations. Another critical element of consideration in review of proposals is the overall storage capacity (how many vehicles can be stored at any one time) and the efficiency of the firm to maintain sufficient storage capacity to accommodate the volume of vehicles towed for the City of Oroville, by appropriate and timely removal/disposal of stored vehicles.

5. On-Site Inspections. On-site inspections may be performed by the City of Oroville to ascertain that recordkeeping, facilities and equipment are in accordance with the 14 Item 1.
requirements and intentions of the specifications. Towing firms shall allow inspections of upon request by the City of Oroville during normal business hours.

6. Rules and Regulations of the Abandoned Vehicle Program. Knowledge of and compliance with regulations regarding the disposition of abandoned vehicles is mandatory. Vehicles removed by the towing firm(s) pursuant to Sections 22523, 22661, 22669 and 22851.3 of the California Vehicle Code shall be transported to the storage facility provided by the towing firm and stored for a designated 15-day period before disposal. At the conclusion of the storage period, with required DMV forms completed by the towing firm(s), the towing firm(s) may dispose of the vehicle. Abated vehicles or parts thereof shall not be reconstructed or made operable unless the vehicle qualifies for restoration pursuant to Section 5004 of the Vehicle Code.

Abandoned vehicles shall be disposed of by removal to a dismantler or to a scrap yard for processing as scrap. Vehicles towed under the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement program for which junk slips are not obtainable due to their value being over the designated monetary value for junked vehicles may be sold via lien sale. You may look up Vehicle Code and Government Codes at http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html.

7. Invoicing and Recordkeeping. Firms awarded contracts shall be expected to demonstrate good recordkeeping practices. The City Of Oroville shall be entitled to audit the books and records of the towing firm. Such books or records shall be maintained by the towing firms for a period of two years from the date of the final payment or until an audit is completed. Review of records and recordkeeping practices, at the towing firm’s place of business, may be performed at the request of the City, by giving 24 hours advance notice.
• Invoices shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the City and in a timely manner. Diligence shall be required in obtaining signed junk slips as soon as possible after the 15 day storage. Invoices are required to be submitted within 10 days of obtaining the signed junk slip. Invoices with junk slips dated over 10 days from submission of the invoice are considered late and late invoices shall not be honored.
• “180” Form Accountability. Towing firms must account for all “180” forms. “180s’ are issued sequentially with a code indicating the date and Code Enforcement Officer. All “180” forms shall be accounted for, either by the submission of timely invoices and accompanying junk slips, or by indicating the status as being reclaimed “owner paid” (see below), or by indicating on a copy of the “180” submitted with monthly invoices that the vehicle was over the monetary value for a junk sale and therefore was sold via lien. Missing “180” forms shall be cause for investigation, including a review of records. • Owner Reclaiming Vehicles. An owner of a towed abandoned vehicle, upon submission of required proof of ownership and current DMV registration, may reclaim their vehicle by paying the towing firm’s reasonable prevailing towing and storage fees (storage fees shall not exceed the cost of seven days per Section 22554 of the Vehicle Code). The towing firm would include the “180” form along with submission of other invoices for that month with a note on the top of the form to indicating “owner paid”. A copy of the receipt provided to the Owner of the vehicle, containing the owner’s name, address, and phone number shall accompany the “180”.
15 Item 1.
• City Release of Vehicles. Under unusual circumstances, the towing firm may release vehicles to the owner of the vehicle with a written release from the Code Enforcement Division. If the owner of the vehicle is to be charged reasonable fees, it shall be handled as stated above under “Owner Reclaiming Vehicles”. If the City has already been billed for the tow, the towing firm shall issue a credit to the City along with the submission of monthly invoices. If the towing firm is required by the City, in writing, to return the vehicle to the site from which it was towed in order to release the vehicle to the registered vehicle owner, the towing firm shall be entitled to charge the City the same towing charge (exclusive of any extra charges, storage charges, etc.) as the initial recovery towing (only) fee. However, if the towing firm is required to release the vehicle to the registered owner at its storage yard, the City shall not be charged any additional towing fees. • Towing Firm Liability for Exceeding Contract Maximum. Towing firms are responsible for tracking services delivered against their contracted amounts and not exceeding those amounts. Providing services in excess of the contracted maximums in place at any given time shall be the risk of the towing firm(s). • Towing Firm Liability for Provision of Required Insurance Documents.

Towing firms are responsible for keeping up to date insurance information on file with City. Certificates of Insurance and endorsements to policies naming the City as additional insured shall be updated prior to expiration of previous documents on file. The City reserves the right to withhold payments to towing firms in the event of material non-compliance with the insurance requirements outlined above.

Standard Tows Defined. For purposes of this proposal, contractor shall consider bids to pertain to towing, storage, and recycling of all motorcycles, all passenger cars, all SUVs, all light and medium duty pickup trucks and all utility trailers up to 20 feet. These shall be considered “standard” tows. Miscellaneous parts and pieces of dismantled vehicles shall be handled as in current contracts, parts belonging to/missing from another a towed vehicle shall be considered as part of a vehicle’s towing charges, other parts that can be picked up manually (from different vehicles) shall be done so without additional charges. You shall be asked to provide your proposed charges for heavier parts requiring equipment to pick up, as part of your proposal, however a determination shall be made by Code Enforcement as to whether the combined quantity and effort to remove said parts shall be considered as a separate tow.

8. Towing and dismantling of vehicles beyond this description shall be considered “large” tows.

The City of Oroville reserves the right to authorize the towing firms to remove a “Standard Tow” vehicle as an “Extraordinary tow” vehicle when the City has determined that the vehicle became qualified as an “Extraordinary tow” after being tagged under the program. “Extraordinary tow” determination shall be at the sole discretion of Oroville Police Department or Code Enforcement Officer and may reflect unexpected difficulties encountered such as location of the vehicle making access difficult, etc.

Towing firm(s) shall remove abandoned vehicles from all types of properties and roadways, both improved an unimproved, on a City-wide basis. Property access and roadway widths vary. The towing firm(s)’s towing vehicles and equipment are expected to be able to negotiate all types of properties and roadways regardless of 16 Item 1.
improvements. However, if any vehicle is determined by the towing firm(s) to not be accessible for removal after referral, the towing firm shall immediately notify City of Oroville in writing (by fax or email), at which time the City shall determine whether the vehicle is still eligible for removal under the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Program.

Towing firms shall be required to remove all abandoned vehicles referred by City Code Enforcement, and it shall be necessary for the towing firm(s) to retrieve vehicles from streams, wetlands, sloughs, ravines, or other difficult areas. Towing firms shall remove vehicles from riparian corridors and environmentally sensitive areas in a manner so as to minimize any further environmental damage. Refusal to remove difficult to retrieve vehicles may be considered a breach of the agreement.

9. Disposal of Trash or Waste Materials. Towing firm shall be responsible for lawful disposal of any trash or waste materials contained within any towed vehicles. It is the responsibility of the towing firm(s) to properly dispose of any waste matter within the abandoned vehicles authorized for towing prior to final disposition of the vehicle at no additional charge to the City. If uncontained hazardous materials are found in vehicles, call 911.

10. One Proposal shall be accepted from any one person, partnership, corporation or other entity, however, several alternatives may be included in one proposal.

12. Nonexclusively. The towing firm(s) awarded contract(s) and City agree that a contract does not establish an exclusive contract between the City of Oroville and contracted towing firm(s), nor does it constitute a commitment by City, whether expressed or implied, to contract with towing firm(s) to perform or supply any work, nor is there any guarantee as to the volume of work or the duration of a contract. The City expressly reserves all its rights, including but not limited to the following: The right to utilize others to perform or supply work of the type contemplated by any awarded Contract, the right to request proposals from others with or without requesting proposals from Contractor for work of the type contemplated by the contract, and the unrestricted right by the City to bid or perform any such work.

13. Price Guarantee. The City expects the price to remain the same during the length of the contract. If market conditions warrant, the City reserves the right to receive a lower price.

14. Price Decline. In the event of a price decline, or if the towing firm(s) contract with another government entity for the same service at lower prices than offered herein, with other terms and conditions being equal, then supplier shall immediately extend those same lower prices to the City.

15. Funding. For the contract(s) to be awarded is from State-imposed registration fees for Abandoned Vehicle Abatement funding and City reserves the right to limit services to the availability of Abandoned Vehicle Abatement funding for towing.

CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: RUTH DUNCAN, ASSISTANT CITY ADMINISTRATOR-ADMINISTRATIVE

SERVICES
RE: POSITION REASSIGNMENT IN FINANCE
DATE: AUGUST 5, 2025

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider the approval of a reassignment of positions in the Finance Department. Specifically, staff request removing one vacant Accounting Tech position and adding a Payroll Technician. This will result in a total of two (2) Payroll Technicians.

DISCUSSION
The City currently has one position dedicated to processing our biweekly payroll. Over the years the payroll processing has become too much for one staff person. In addition, it is essential for us to dedicate another position for payroll to ensure coverage for illness, vacation and training opportunities.

Measures are also being taken to cross-train other Finance Department staff for adequate coverage of payroll.

FISCAL IMPACT
Minimal budget impact as the position will be a lateral in house recruitment. There are currently savings from a vacant Accounting Technician position in the Finance Department budget.

ACTION REQUESTED -

AUTHORIZE THE DELETION OF ONE ACCOUNTING TECHNICIAN AND THE ADDITION OF ONE PAYROLL TECHNICIAN.

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: TIM KABER – PROJECT MANAGER
RE: AWARD OF CONTRACT; TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY FOR 655 CAL OAK DATE: AUGUST 5, 2025

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider awarding a contract to NorthStar Engineering, of Chico for topographic survey services on the new City of Oroville Corporation Yard.

DISCUSSION
This contract will provide topographic data and an accessibility path of travel for the new Corp Yard.

This work is required for the design of the new Corp Yard facilities. Performing the work now, rather than in the design phase, will reduce the cost of the survey and eliminate unknowns that would result in a higher Guaranteed Maximum Price of the Phase 2 Design-Build contract.

There is also a cost avoidance with the City contracting this work out, rather than the current contractor, thus avoiding markups on subcontractors.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact. Funds will come from the previously approved Corp Yard budget.

ACTION(S) REQUESTED -
AWARD THE CONTRACT TO NORTHSTAR ENGINEERING FOR $7,500, AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE CONTRACT.

8.1.3. Automobile Liability Coverage. The CONTRACTOR shall maintain automobile liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the CONTRACTOR arising out of or in connection with the work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles, in an amount of not less than three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) combined single limit for each occurrence. If CONTRACTOR or CONTRACTOR’s employees will use personal autos in any way on this project, CONTRACTOR shall obtain evidence of personal auto liability coverage for each such person.

8.1.4. Professional Liability Coverage. The CONTRACTOR shall maintain professional errors and omissions liability insurance for protection against claims alleging negligent acts, errors, or omissions which may arise from the CONTRACTOR’s operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by the CONTRACTOR or by its employees, subcontractors, or subconsultants.

8.2. Endorsements. Each general liability and automobile liability insurance policy shall be issued by insurers possessing a Best’s rating of no less than A-:VII. Each general liability insurance policy shall be endorsed with the specific language of Section 8.2.1 below.

8.2.1. “The CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of 42 Item 3.

Agreement No. 3561
work performed by or on behalf of the CONTRACTOR, including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.”

8.2.2. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. Any insurance maintained by the CITY, including any self-insured retention the CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with this policy.

8.2.3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.

8.2.4. Notwithstanding the provisions included in any of the ISO Additional Insured Endorsement forms, CONTRACTOR acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amounts of coverage required. Any insurance proceeds available to the CITY in excess of the limits and coverage required in this agreement and which is applicable to a given loss will be available to the CITY.

8.2.5. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and agrees to require all subcontractors to do likewise.

8.2.6. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers.

8.2.7. The insurance provided by this policy shall not be suspended, voided or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days’ written notice has been submitted to the CITY and approved of in writing, except in the case of cancellation, for which ten (10) days’ written notice shall be provided.

8.2.8. Contractor agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against Contractor arising out of the work performed under this agreement.

8.3. Self Insured Retention/Deductibles. All policies required by this Agreement shall allow CITY, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention (“SIR”) and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the CONTRACTOR (as the named insured) should CONTRACTOR fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements. The amount of the SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the CITY Attorney. CONTRACTOR understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement.

9. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBCONTRACTING.

The parties recognize that a substantial inducement to the City for entering into this Agreement is the professional reputation, experience, and competence of the CONTRACTOR. Assignments of any or all rights, duties, or obligations of the CONTRACTOR under this Agreement will be permitted only with the express consent of the CITY. The CONTRACTOR shall not subcontract any portion of the work to be performed under this Agreement without the written authorization of the CITY. If the CITY consents to such subcontract, the CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible to the CITY for all acts or omissions of the subcontractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall create any contractual relationship between the CITY and subcontractor nor shall it create any obligation on the part of the CITY to pay or to see to the payment of any monies due to any such subcontractor other than as otherwise is required by law.

10. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, CODES, ORDINANCES, AND REGULATIONS.

The CONTRACTOR shall use the standard of care in its profession to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, codes, ordinances, and regulations.

In the event that the CITY is audited by any Federal or State agency regarding the independent contractor status of the CONTRACTOR and the audit in any way fails to sustain the validity of a wholly independent contractor relationship between the CITY and the CONTRACTOR, then the CONTRACTOR agrees to reimburse the CITY for all costs, including accounting and attorneys’ fees, arising out of such audit and any appeals relating thereto.

10.2. Workers’ Compensation Law. The CONTRACTOR shall fully comply with the workers’ compensation law regarding the CONTRACTOR and the CONTRACTOR’s employees.

The CONTRACTOR represents and warrants to the DISTRICT that the CONTRACTOR shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep in effect or obtain at all times during the term of this Agreement any licenses, permits, insurance, and approvals which are legally required of the CONTRACTOR to practice its profession.

11. CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

The CONTRACTOR confirms that it has no financial, contractual, or other interest or obligation that conflicts with or is harmful to performance of its obligations under this Agreement. The CONTRACTOR shall not during the term of this Agreement knowingly obtain such an interest or incur such an obligation, nor shall it employ or subcontract with any person for performance of this Agreement who has such incompatible interest or obligation.

12. NON-DISCRIMINATION AND EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY.

The CONTRACTOR represents and agrees that it does not and will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, political affiliation or opinion, medical condition, or pregnancy or pregnancy-related condition. The CONTRACTOR will ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, political affiliation or opinion, medical condition, or pregnancy or pregnancy-related condition. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following: employment, upgrading, promotion, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoffs or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The CONTRACTOR agrees to include in all solicitations or advertisements for employment and to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.

Agreement No. 3561

15. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.

The CONTRACTOR is and shall at all times remain as to the CITY a wholly independent CONTRACTOR. Neither the CITY nor any of its agents shall have control over the conduct of the CONTRACTOR or any of the CONTRACTOR’s employees or agents, except as herein set forth. The CONTRACTOR shall not at any time or in any manner represent that it or any of its agents or employees are in any manner agents or employees of the CITY. The CONTRACTOR shall have no power to incur any debt, obligation, or liability on behalf of the CITY or otherwise act on behalf of the CITY as an agent unless that authority is expressly authorized in writing by CITY. By executing this Agreement, CONTRACTOR confirms and asserts that A) they shall be responsible to direct their own work and are free from CITY control in the precise manner and details of how the work is carried out; B) that the work performed by CONTRACTOR is understood to be outside the scope of the usual course of business carried out by the CITY; and C) that CONTRACTOR is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature of that performed for the CITY.

If CONTRACTOR, at any time comes to believe that they are an employee and not an independent contractor, CONTRACTOR shall immediately notify the CITY of such belief. All work to be performed by CONTRACTOR under this Agreement shall be immediately suspended. Contractor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from any and all claims, demands, losses, causes of action, damage, lawsuits, judgments, including attorneys' fees and costs, provided that such claims arise out of or are based upon the Contractor's designation as an independent contractor and not as an employee of the Company. Contractor waives any right to recover from the Company any expenses or losses, including but not limited to those arising from claims that Contractor was misclassified as an independent contractor unless such indemnification is prohibited by law. In the event CONTRACTOR notifies CITY of a purported misclassification, the CITY may elect to immediately terminate this Agreement.

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: RUTH DUNCAN, ASSISTANT CITY ADMINISTRATOR-ADMINISTRATIVE

SERVICES
RE: ANNUAL SPECIAL TAX FOR THE CITY’S COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2006-1 (WESTSIDE PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES) AND DISTRICT NO. 2006-2 (PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES) FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025/26
DATE: AUGUST 5, 2025

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider the annual special tax relating to the City’s Community Facilities Districts (“CFD’s”).

DISCUSSION
In October 2006, the City completed the formation of two CFD’s designed to establish a special tax for subdivision projects in the Thermalito area. CFD No. 2006-1 was formed to fund the design and construction of a fire and police facility to be located at the Oroville Airport. CFD No. 2006-2 was formed to provide ongoing funding to maintain and staff these facilities in perpetuity. Both CFS’s are funded through the collection of a special tax attached to the property tax bill issued by the Butte County Tax Collector’s Office. Currently, four subdivisions are included in these CFD’s. The rate and method of apportionment provides for the collection of certain tax amounts for both final mapped property without building permits issued (final mapped property) and final mapped property that have had a building permit issued (developed property).

Per Senate Bill 165, an annual Report for each CFD must be filed with the City Council. The annual report shall contain all of the following:
 The amount of funds collected and expended.
 The status of any project required or authorized to be funded as identified in subdivision (a) of Section 50075.1 or Section 53410.

The annual Reports fulfill these minimum requirements and will be submitted at a later date.

No other action is required by the City Council.
76 Item 8.

The City Council will consider the following items for the CFD’s that will:

1. Establish the annual special tax for Fiscal Year 2025/26 for the two CFD’s.

2. Direct the Butte County Auditor-Controller’s Office to attach the special tax to the property tax bill of those final mapped and developed parcels within the two CFD’s.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are collected on the Butte County tax roll and placed into a “Special Fund” account for specified expenses within the two CFD’s.

If any judgment is entered against any indemnified party as a result of not meeting the requirements of Proposition 218 for such special tax(es), fee(s) or assessment(s), the Agency/District agrees that County may offset the amount of any judgment paid by an indemnified party from any moneys collected by County on Agency/District’s behalf, including property taxes, special taxes, fees, or assessments.
