STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: MEGAN WILLIAMS, HUMAN RESOURCES ANALYST
RE: IMPLEMENTATION OF BADGE READERS AT CITY HALL
DATE: DECEMBER 16, 2025

SUMMARY
This report provides an informational update regarding the implementation of electronic badge readers throughout City Hall. The new protocol requires employees to “badge” into the building and establishes a process for visitors to check out a temporary badge while conducting business at City Hall. The purpose of this protocol is to enhance the overall safety and security of employees, visitors, and City facilities.

DISCUSSION
In an effort to improve building security and better monitor access to non-public areas, the City has installed badge readers at designated entry points within City Hall. The protocol supports two primary user groups: City employees and visitors.

Employee Access
City employees have been issued individual access badges that allow them to enter City Hall through designated secured entrances. These badges:
 Are unique to each employee and tied to their department/role.  Track entry times and locations for security and emergency response purposes.  Help ensure that only authorized personnel can access restricted or staff-only areas.

The focus of this report, however, is on the visitor access component of the new badge protocol.
13 Item 2.

Page 2 ends

Visitor Check-In and Badge Process
To maintain a welcoming environment while improving safety, a visitor badge check-out process has been established at the main public entrance to City Hall. Under this protocol:
 Visitors will be greeted at the front counter and asked to sign in and state the purpose of their visit (e.g., meeting with a specific department, attending an appointment, delivering documents, etc.).
 Visitors will be issued a temporary visitor badge to wear while inside City Hall.  The badge will identify them as an authorized visitor and may be programmed to grant access only to appropriate areas, as needed.
 At the conclusion of the visit, the badge must be returned to the front counter so it can be checked back in and prepared for future use.

This protocol is designed to:
 Increase situational awareness of who is in the building at any given time.  Provide an additional layer of security for employees and the public.  Support more effective emergency response and evacuation accounting.  Maintain a professional, organized approach to visitor management.

Public Meetings and General Access
The City remains committed to providing open and accessible public meetings in compliance with the Brown Act and other applicable laws. The visitor badge protocol is not intended to restrict lawful public access, but to provide a structured process for those entering City Hall for business, appointments, or staff interaction.

Staff will continue to refine procedures as needed to ensure the visitor badge process is efficient, easy to understand, and minimally disruptive to the customer service experience, while still meeting the overall goal of enhanced safety and security.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

§ 15.60.040 Express findings.

As required by Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.7, 18941.5(c) and 18942, the city council hereby expressly finds that amendments to the codes adopted by this chapter and as described in this section are necessary for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare, due to the local climatic, geological or topographical conditions.

A. Express Finding Number 1—Climatic. Climate is one of the greatest impacts to fire behavior and other major emergency events because it cannot be controlled. The drying out of wood shakes and wild land fuels in the summer months allows for easy ignition. The combustible weeds on vacant urban lots coupled with windy conditions are a recipe for disaster. The Greater Oroville region has extreme variations in weather patterns. Summers are arid and warm; winters are cool to freezing but void of significant snowfall. Fall and spring can bring any combination of weather pattern together. The doubling of average rainfall called an "El Nino" event has occurred from time to time and does cause the grass to mature and grow in excess of 6 feet high before it dries out. Ten square feet of this type of fuel is equivalent to the explosive force of one gallon of gasoline. Average yearly rainfall for the city is approximately 27 inches. This rainfall normally occurs from October to April.

Low level fog (tulle-fog) is present throughout the winter months, which brings visibility to almost zero feet. The fog delays emergency responders. The fog can also cause freezing 30 Item 3.
and slick roadways. During the summer months there is generally no measurable precipitation. Temperatures for this dry period range from 70 to 112 degrees F and are frequently accompanied by light to gusty Delta winds. The relative humidity during the summer months range from 2 to 30 mm Hg, which is classified as arid.

B. Express Finding Number 2—Geological. The city of Oroville is subject to ground tremors from seismic events as the city is located in Design Category C, which relates to a high risk of earthquakes. Gas appliances located in attics or garages must be adequately braced and protected from damage from moving objects. Large portions of the city have poor soil conditions. Additionally, the very low elevations are subject to a very high-water table.

In the event of an accident or other emergency at one of the key points of intersection between a road and freeway, sections of the city could be isolated or response times could be sufficiently slowed so as to increase the risk of injury or damage. (Ord. 1879, 5/7/2024; Ord. 1887, 3/18/2025)
O. 15.22.020 Adoption of the International Property Maintenance Code The 2018 International Property Maintenance Code, as published by the International Code Conference is hereby adopted and incorporated by reference.

P. Adoption of the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code The 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface Code, Code of Regulations Title 24 Part 7, is hereby adopted and incorporated by reference.

SECTION 2: Repeal Ordinance 1840
SECTION 3: Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this ordinance is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional, that portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct and independent provision, and the holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance.

SECTION 4: Effective Date. This ordinance, following its adoption, shall be published as provided by law and by its terms herein, shall be effective 30 days after its adoption, but no sooner than January 1, 2026 and shall remain in full force and effect unless otherwise changed by appropriate amending ordinance.
31 Item 3.

SECTION 5: The City Clerk shall attest to the adoption of this ordinance and cause same to be published in the manner required by the City Charter.

Introduced and the first reading waived at a regular meeting of the Oroville City Council on the 2

(Ord. 1879, 5/7/2024; Ord. 1885, 3/12/2025; Ord. 1887, 3/18/2025; Ord. 1888, 3/18/2025)
§ 15.60.040 Express findings.

The combustible weeds on vacant urban lots coupled with windy conditions are a recipe for disaster. The Greater Oroville region has extreme variations in weather patterns.

Summers are arid and warm; winters are cool to freezing but void of significant snowfall.

Fall and spring can bring any combination of weather pattern together. The doubling of average rainfall called an "El Nino" event has occurred from time to time and does cause the grass to mature and grow in excess of 6 feet high before it dries out. Ten square feet of this type of fuel is equivalent to the explosive force of one gallon of gasoline. Average yearly rainfall for the city is approximately 27 inches. This rainfall normally occurs from 43 Item 3.

October to April. Low level fog (tulle-fog) is present throughout the winter months, which brings visibility to almost zero feet. The fog delays emergency responders. The fog can also cause freezing and slick roadways. During the summer months there is generally no measurable precipitation. Temperatures for this dry period range from 70 to 112 degrees F and are frequently accompanied by light to gusty Delta winds. The relative humidity during the summer months range from 2 to 30 mm Hg, which is classified as arid.

C. Express Finding Number 3—Topographical. The city features include open space, drainage canals, components of the Oroville Dam and its water handling systems, highways, and railroad tracks. Traffic has to be channeled around several of these topographical features and limitations which create traffic congestion and delays in emergency response. These features are located between the Fire Station located within the city and our Automatic Aid partners CalFire and El Medio. Heavy traffic congestion on the city streets already acts as a barrier to timely response for fire and emergency vehicles. In the event of an accident or other emergency at one of the key points of intersection between a road and freeway, sections of the city could be isolated or response times could be sufficiently slowed so as to increase the risk of injury or damage. (Ord. 1879, 5/7/2024; Ord. 1887, 3/18/2025)
O. 15.22.020 Adoption of the International Property Maintenance Code The 2018 International Property Maintenance Code, as published by the International Code Conference is hereby adopted and incorporated by reference.

P. Adoption of the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code The 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface Code, Code of Regulations Title 24 Part 7, is hereby adopted and incorporated by reference.

SECTION 4: Effective Date. This ordinance, following its adoption, shall be published as provided by law and by its terms herein, shall be effective 30 days after its adoption, but no 44 Item 3.
sooner than January 1, 2026 and shall remain in full force and effect unless otherwise changed by appropriate amending ordinance.

SECTION 5: The City Clerk shall attest to the adoption of this ordinance and cause same to be published in the manner required by the City Charter.

CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BRIAN RING, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
RE: 2026 RECOLOGY SERVICE RATE INCREASE FOR THE

COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTE
DATE: DECEMBER 16, 2025

SUMMARY
The City Council shall receive an update on the Recology service rate increase for the collection and disposal of solid waste that will become effective January 1, 2026

DISCUSSION
The City entered into a Franchise Agreement (Agreement) with Recology in 1993, for collection and disposal of solid waste and recyclable materials generated by homes and businesses in the City limits. This agreement was extended in November of 2022 for fifteen (15) years and runs through December 31, 2037.

Section 18.2 of the Agreement specifies that the fees collected by Recology shall be indexed to the United States Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the Water, Sewer and Trash Collection Services Index (WST Index) and shall be adjusted annually to reflect the yearly changes, if any, in the cost of living as shown in the CPI.

The intent of this Staff Report is to inform the Council of a 4.7% rate increase based on the CPI for the WST Index, that will become effective January 1, 2026. Recology, the City’s contractor for the collection and disposal of solid waste, has submitted this to the City pursuant to Section 18.3 of the Agreement for review Section 18.3 of the Agreement stipulates that the maximum rate adjustment provided in the agreement shall take effect without the need for approval by the City Council or City Staff.

RE: 2026 Rate Application
Dear Brian,
Please accept this package as our application for a rate increase effective 1 January 2026. Based on CPI and the increased landfill tipping fee, the maximum rates for the City of Oroville customers will increase by an average of 4.7%.

As set forth in Section 18.2 of the Franchise Agreement between the City of Orville and Recology Butte Colusa Counties, the annual cap of 4% no longer applies in 2026 nor any subsequent rate adjustments.

We are happy to discuss the specifics of our application and provide any additional information or clarification that may be required. Our team is available at your convenience to address any questions or concerns you may have regarding the proposed rate increase.

I appreciate your time and consideration in reviewing our application. Your guidance and feedback on this matter are invaluable to us. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss this further and work together to ensure the continued provision of high-quality services to our community.

Respectfully, Marci Walton

CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: JASON WINES, CHIEF OF POLICE
RE: ANNUAL USE OF “MILITARY EQUIPMENT” AS DEFINED IN THE

OROVILLE MUNICIPAL CODE
DATE: DECEMBER 16, 2025

SUMMARY
In accordance with Ordinance No. 1865, the Oroville Police Department shall annually submit a Military Equipment Report. This report shall be submitted and publicly released, and within 30 days hold at least one well-publicized and conveniently located meeting, where the public can ask questions.

DISCUSSION
In 2022, the City of Oroville adopted an ordinance and policy which allowed the Oroville Police Department (OPD) to use “military equipment” as defined in Government Code sections 7070 through 7075. These sections of the Government Code also require a public agency that utilizes “military equipment” to provide an annual report on the ownership and use of such equipment.

Items deemed to be “military equipment” by Government Code sections 7070 through 7075 are used as a component of overall best practices for Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) throughout the country. These tools have been tested in the field and are used by LEAs to enhance citizen and officer safety. Loss of these items would jeopardize the welfare of citizens and peace officers within the Oroville Police Department.

The term “military equipment” in fact does not necessarily indicate equipment that has been used by the military. Pursuant to Government Code sections 7070 through 7075, items deemed to be “military equipment” include, but are not limited to, unmanned aerial or ground vehicles, armored vehicles, command and control vehicles, pepper balls, less lethal shotguns, less lethal 40mm projectile launchers, long range acoustic devices, and flashbangs.
115
Item 8.

The Oroville Police Department is committed to using the most up to date tools and equipment to safeguard the citizens of the City of Oroville. Some of the items deemed to be “military equipment” by Government Code sections 7070 through 7075 are utilized by OPD, and LEAs across the country, in order to specifically reduce risk to community members. These items provide peace officers with the ability to safely resolve volatile situations which otherwise might rise to the level of a lethal force encounter. The items listed in the Military Equipment Use Policy also provide OPD’s peace officers with vital tools that facilitate compliance with its stringent use of force policy.

An annual report is required pursuant to Government Code sections 7070 through 7075. The report is required to include the following items:

1. A summary of how the Military Equipment was used and the purpose of its use.

2. A summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning the Military Equipment.

3. The results of any internal audits, any information about violations of the Military Equipment Use Policy, and any actions taken in response.

4. The total annual cost for each type of Military Equipment, including acquisition, personnel, training, transportation, maintenance, storage, upgrade, and other ongoing costs, and from what source funds will be provided for the Military Equipment in the calendar year following submission of the annual Military Equipment Report.

5. The quantity possessed for each type of Military Equipment.

6. If the law enforcement agency intends to acquire additional Military Equipment in the next year, the quantity sought for each type of Military Equipment.

Additionally, the HOME Program now requires that jurisdictions submit a Program Income Only application to expend program income funds on eligible activities.

Staff is recommending the council approve a HOME Program Income Only application for First Time Homebuyer Program with a budget as follows:

Funding Source Use of Funds Amount
2025 HOME PI General Administration $200,000
2025 HOME PI Activity Delivery $117,000
2025 HOME PI FTHB Loans $1,683,000
Total $2,000,000
First Time Homebuyer assistance is generally used for: down payment assistance; to reduce monthly debt service on the first mortgage by a private lender, and activity delivery costs.

The program will include varying amounts of mortgage subsidy assistance based on household income and family size up to $100,000 or 45% of the purchase price, whichever is less.

Income Limits
Household income will be restricted to 80% or less of the Butte County area median income as established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no general fund impact.

Should the grant be awarded the fiscal impact will be addressed when the budget is established for this activity.

The Resolution should be dated after the issuance date of the HOME PROGRAM INCOME. Please note that this Resolution specifically includes the requested HOME Program Income amount in dollars, which is a mandatory element of the Resolution. The Resolution also identifies the position(s) that will be authorized to sign the Standard Agreement, any amendments thereto, and related documents including drawdown requests. The person attesting to the validity of the Resolution cannot be the same individual as the one granted the authority in the Resolution. If the PROGRAM INCOME’s “Applicant Certification and Commitment of Responsibility” form is submitted unsigned or is signed by someone not in a position authorized in the Resolution, the Department may, in its sole discretion, reject the Application.

Important Authorized Signatory Information:

Pursuant to California Government Code sections 40601 and 40602, City Jurisdiction applicants must have the mayor or mayor pro tempore sign any written contracts and conveyances made or entered into by the city, unless the city has an existing ordinance or code in effect that specifically allows or designates contracts to be signed by an officer other than the mayor or mayor pro tempore.

Accordingly, if the city does not have a city ordinance described above, then the Department requires that the mayor or mayor pro tempore sign the HOME Standard Agreement, any future HOME-related contracts and conveyances, and any amendments thereto, as the authorized signer for the city and provide to the Department a duly adopted 125
Item 9.

HOME Authorizing Resolution Instructions and Template for Cities and Towns effective 11/26/2025 Resolution from the City Council authorizing the mayor to sign the Standard Agreement and related documents on behalf of the city. The mayor or mayor pro tempore may not delegate to a third party his or her authority to sign contracts and conveyances.

If the city does have an ordinance as described above, the Department requires the city to provide a copy of such ordinance, as well as a copy of the Resolution that indicates the title of the city official authorized to sign the Agreement and related documents. All required Resolutions must be in form and content acceptable to the Department.

Please enter titles here, to inform how to fill in the Resolution template below (in parts 3 and 4):

Important Notes:

1. The Department strongly recommends that only titles, without names, be inserted in Sections 3 and 4 (in the Resolution Template) below, to avoid the need for an additional authorizing resolution whenever a personnel change occurs.

2. It is not statutorily permissible for a mayor to delegate contract signing authority, so please do not include language about delegation if the mayor is in Section 3 below. If any positions other than mayor are listed, provide with the Resolution a city attorney opinion letter that the positions(s) listed, and their ability to delegate signing a contract such as this HOME Program Standard Agreement, are supported by current city ordinances (specify which ordinances apply).

If the designee is signing any application, agreement, or any other document on behalf of the designated representative of the Applicant, written proof of designee authority to sign on behalf of such designated representative must be included with the Resolution, or else submitted later on letterhead, with a document signed by the delegee. Additionally, do not add limitations or conditions on the ability of the signatory or signatories to sign documents, or the Resolution may not be accepted. If more than one party’s approval is required, list them as a signatory. Inclusion of additional limitations or conditions on the authority of the signer will result in the Resolution being rejected and will require your entity to issue a corrected Resolution prior to the Department issuing a Standard Agreement.

5. Separate titles in Resolution Sections 3 and 4 with only “or”. If “and” or “and/or” are used, two signatures would be required each time.

6. The attesting officer cannot be the same person listed as an authorized signer in Sections 3 or 4 below.

FROM: AMY BERGSTRAND, DIRECTOR BUISNESS

ASSISTANCE/HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
RE: REINSTATEMENT OR FORECLOSURE OF CITY-OWNED 1708

BLUFFS DRIVE
DATE: DECEMBER 16, 2025

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider reinstating or initiating foreclosure proceedings related to the City of Oroville’s interest in the Deed of Trust against the property located at 1708 Bluffs Drive (APN 031-360-031).

DISCUSSION
Staff is requesting authorization from the Council to reinstate or initiate foreclosure on the property located at 1708 Bluffs Drive. The current property owner obtained a mortgage subsidy loan through the City’s Homeownership Assistance Program in the amount of $100,000 in October of 2021.

The borrower is in default on their mortgage with Evergreen Moneysource Mortgage Company, which holds the first lien position. The approximate amount to cure the default would be approximately $213,325.03, and an additional $9,135.00 to pay off the second mortgage, Cal HFA, to secure the City’s lien position. These amounts were only good through November 6, 2025, and staff is in the process of getting updated figures. Based on comparable properties, the estimated value is $323,251. A neighboring unit that has never been lived in currently listed for $325,000.

Item 10.

Staff is recommending the city staff work with the borrower and primary mortgage company to determine if the city should reinstate the borrower’s primary loan by paying the past due amount and bring the borrower current or if the City should initiate foreclose. If the City were to reinstate the loan, a new loan agreement would be recorded as a lien on the property in that amount. If City staff determines that the borrower is unable to remain current and decides to initiate foreclosure, staff is proposing that the property be resold on the open market to recoup homebuyer loan costs. Staff has not gained access to the interior of the home to determine what, if any, repairs are needed. Staff will bring these items back to Council if the repairs are in excess of normal wear and tear maintenance.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no general fund impact. Approximately $224,135 will be needed to cure the default and approximately $5,000 in foreclosure fees from Fund 225 (City Revolving Loan Fund) or fund 220 (Housing Program Fund) or approximately $20,000 will be needed to reinstate the loan.

ACTION REQUESTED -

1. DIRECT STAFF TO REINSTATE BORROWER’S PAST DUE AMOUNT WITH

PRIMARY MORTGAGE AND EXECUTE A LOAN AGREEMENT IN THAT
AMOUNT; IF THAT IS DETERMINED NOT TO BE FEASIBLE; THEN

2. APPROVE THE ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 9428 – A RESOLUTION OF

TO: MAYOR PITTMAN & COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: RUTH DUNCAN, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE
RE: POSITION REASSIGNMENT – ACCOUNTING TECHNICIAN TO

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ANALYST
DATE: DECEMBER 16, 2025

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider reassigning a currently vacant Accounting Technician position from the Finance department to the Information Technology department for an Analyst position.

DISCUSSION
The Accounting Technician role has been vacant for some time. Due to recent retirements of long-time employees, it was not known at budget time if this position would be needed.

After six months into this fiscal year, it has been determined the position is no longer necessary in Finance. A lot of progress has been made with efficiency and there is no need to fill this position now or the foreseeable future.

The Information Technology department is facing critical staffing needs and could benefit from this reassignment to help get some key projects through.

FISCAL IMPACT
The budgeted appropriations for Accounting Technician will be reassigned to the new Information Technology Analyst position.

No current year budget impact.

Annual salary for an Accounting Technician $48,383
Annual salary for an Information Technician Analyst $68,066 for six months is $34,033.

The difference would have to be included in the next fiscal budget.

ACTION REQUESTED –

APPROVE A BUDGET TRANSFER OF A POSITION FROM THE FINANCE TO THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT.

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider approving the Department of Justice Tobacco Inspection Grant and Memorandum of Understanding fiscal year 2025-26, RFP: DOJ-PROP56-2025- 26-1 for $123,622.

DISCUSSION
In March of 2025 the Code Enforcement Team completed an eight hour in person training on Tobacco Inspections hosted by the Department of Justice, in anticipation of the City submitting for the Department of Justice 2025-2026 Tobacco Inspection Grant.

In July 2025 the City applied for the fiscal year 2025-26 Department of Justice Tobacco Inspection Grant RFP: DOJ-PROP56-2025-26-1. On November 20, 2025, the City was awarded the Grant in the amount of $123,622.

Item 12.

The purpose of this grant is to educate the retailer and/or officer educational activities on tobacco laws and ordinances and enforce activities that target retailers for illegal sales/marketing of tobacco products were approved. It is expected that the flavor ban will be enforced within one or more enforcement activities.

The City of Oroville Code Enforcement Team will conduct monthly unannounced on-site inspections at all City of Oroville’s 38 retail establishments to verify compliance with local and state tobacco laws.

Inspections will be conducted to ensure no retailers are providing self-service displays or selling flavored tobacco products of any kind.

The Code Enforcement Team will conduct follow-up inspections as needed to enforce compliance. Violators will be cited to the full extent of the law and violations will affect the retailer's license status, resulting in suspension or revocation of a repeat violator's license.

The City will prosecute criminal cases resulting from the increased targeted enforcement and try cases if they are set for jury trial.

Additionally four enforcement officers will receive up to 40 hours of tobacco education per year from the Tobacco Education Program in addition to up to 16 hours annually of in-person and/or online tobacco education provided by Department of Justice, California Department of Public Health, Public Health Law Center, and others.

The City is requesting Council’s approval of the 2025-26 Department of Justice Tobacco Inspection Grant and Memorandum of Understanding, RFP: DOJ-PROP56-2025-26-1 in the amount of $123,622.

CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BRIAN RING, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
RE: TEMPORARY DELEGATION OF SIGNING AUTHORITY TO SENIOR ENGINEER AND PROJECT MANAGER, TIM KABER AND 5% OUT OF

CLASS COMPENSATION
DATE: DECEMBER 16, 2025

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider temporarily delegating Senior Engineer and Project Manager, Tim Kaber, the same signing authority that is typically granted to the City Engineer, for the duration of time that the City Engineer position is vacant and being actively recruited. Along with this responsibility, Staff recommend compensating Mr.

Kaber with a 5% out of class pay increase.

DISCUSSION
The City Engineer position is currently vacant and the recruitment process is underway.

During this interim period, a number of routine and time-sensitive tasks still require formal review and signature by an individual with appropriate authority on behalf of the City Engineer’s office. These tasks include, but are not limited to:
 Execution of certain Public Works and engineering-related contracts, amendments, and change orders within existing Council-approved authority limits;  Approval and signing of engineering plans and specifications for capital improvement projects;
 Review and approval of subdivision and development improvement plans, parcel and final maps, and related documents;
 Signing off on progress payment requests, grant-related engineering certifications, and other project administration documents;
147
Item 13.

Page 2 ends

 Execution of technical correspondence and regulatory submittals related to State and federal agencies, utilities, and other partners.

Senior Engineer and Project Manager, Tim Kaber, currently serves as a key lead for the City’s capital projects and engineering workload. He has extensive experience with the City’s standards, processes, and active projects, and is already performing many of the technical and project management duties associated with the City Engineer’s office.

Temporarily delegating signing authority to Mr. Kaber will:
 Prevent delays to capital improvement projects and private development projects that depend on timely engineering approvals;
 Ensure continuity in fulfilling regulatory and grant requirements that require an authorized engineering representative;
 Provide clear internal direction and external clarity to contractors, consultants, and partner agencies regarding who is authorized to sign on the City’s behalf for engineering matters.

The temporary delegation would be limited in scope to those documents and actions that would ordinarily fall under the City Engineer’s signing authority and would not expand or alter Council’s existing authority thresholds, purchasing policies, or any requirements for Council approval. The delegation would automatically terminate upon:

1. Appointment of a new City Engineer, or

2. Further action by the City Council modifying or rescinding the delegation.

Staff will continue to keep the City Council informed regarding the status of the City Engineer recruitment and will bring any necessary follow-up actions forward at that time.

FISCAL IMPACT
5% increase in compensation until City Engineer vacancy is filled, or until City Council modifies this action. This equates to approximately $635/month increase.

ACTION REQUESTED –

APPROVE TEMPORARY DELEGATION OF SIGNING AUTHORITY TO SENIOR ENGINEER AND PROJECT MANAGER, TIM KABER; AND
5% OUT OF CLASS COMPENSATION.

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN & COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BRIAN RING, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
RE: TERM AMENDMENT OF VICE MAYOR ERIC SMITH TO THE BUTTE

COUNTY MOSQUITO & VECTOR CONTROL DISTRICT BOARD OF

TRUSTEES
DATE: DECEMBER 16, 2025

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider amending the reappointment of Vice Mayor Eric J. Smith to the Butte County Mosquito & Vector Control District Board of Trustees to ensure compliance with statutory term requirements beginning January 2026. On December 2, Council appointed Vice Mayor Smith to a one-year term. However, it was discovered that the term must be either a two or four-year appointment.

DISCUSSION
The City of Oroville appoints one representative to serve on the Butte County Mosquito & Vector Control District Board of Trustees (the “District”). Trustees serve terms that are established by California Health & Safety Code §2024(a), which specifies that all trustee terms begin at noon on the first Monday in January.

Historically, the City Council conducts its annual committee and board appointments during the first meeting of the new calendar year. However, this practice does not align with the statutory schedule governing District trustee terms and has previously resulted in a brief lapse in Oroville’s representation.

Vice Mayor Eric J. Smith currently serves as Oroville’s trustee and discussed this timing conflict with Mayor Pittman. Both agreed that placing the trustee appointment on the December City Council agenda is the most appropriate and timely approach to ensure ongoing representation and legal compliance.
150
Item 14.

Page 2 ends

Placing this appointment on the December agenda resolves the timing discrepancy between the City’s traditional appointment practices and the District’s statutory requirements.

Addressing this item prior to January will:
 Ensure uninterrupted representation for the City of Oroville on the District Board;  Maintain compliance with Health & Safety Code §2024(a);  Prevent the appointment gap previously experienced when Vice Mayor Smith first joined the Board; and
 Allow the District to finalize its annual trustee roster before the January statutory deadline.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

ACTION REQUESTED -
REAPPOINT VICE MAYOR ERIC J. SMITH TO THE BUTTE COUNTY MOSQUITO &

VECTOR CONTROL DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO SERVE A TWO YEAR TERM COMMENCING AT NOON ON THE FIRST MONDAY OF JANUARY 2026 THROUGH DECEMBER 2027, IN ACCORDANCE WITH HEALTH & SAFETY CODE §2024(A); OR
REAPPOINT VICE MAYOR ERIC J. SMITH TO THE BUTTE COUNTY MOSQUITO &

VECTOR CONTROL DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO SERVE A FOUR YEAR TERM COMMENCING AT NOON ON THE FIRST MONDAY OF JANUARY 2026 THROUGH DECEMBER 2029, IN ACCORDANCE WITH HEALTH & SAFETY CODE §2024(A).
