TEMPORARY DELEGATION OF SIGNING AUTHORITY TO SENIOR ENGINEER AND PROJECT MANAGER, TIM KABER AND 5% OUT OF CLASS COMPENSATION The City Council approved the temporary delegation of 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, Council approved compensating Mr. Kaber with a 5% out of class pay increase.
This temporary delegation of authority allows Mr. Kaber to sign engineering-related documents, approvals, and correspondence necessary to keep capital projects, development review, and regulatory compliance tasks moving forward without interruption. The delegation remains in effect until a new City Engineer is appointed or the City Council takes further action. This was done by the following vote:

RE: SIDE LETTER AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF OROVILLE
AND THE OROVILLE POLICE OFFICER’S ASSOCIATION BOTH
SWORN AND NON-SWORN PROVIDED A 5% SALARY INCREASE
FOR SWORN PERSONNEL, OVERTIME TO BE PAID AFTER 84
HOURS IN A PAY PERIOD, AND ABILITY TO ADVANCE SICK AND
VACATION LEAVE TO EXPERIENCED LATERAL SWORN AND
NON-SWORN PERSONNEL
DATE: JANUARY 6, 2026
SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider adopting the side letter agreement between the City of Oroville and the Oroville Police Officer’s Association Sworn and Non-Sworn (OPOA-S) (OPOA-NS) providing a 5% salary increase for all sworn personnel, changing overtime to be paid after 84 hours in designated work pay period and the ability to advance sick and vacation to experienced lateral sworn and non-sworn personnel.
DISCUSSION
Other law enforcement agencies within the County have recently made significant changes to their compensation structure for sworn personnel. In an attempt to remain competitive, staff have diligently worked within the existing budget to incorporate an immediate 5% increase to all sworn personnel. This will help retain our great sworn officers and assist in attracting additional lateral officers that are needed. In addition, staff recommend having the ability to offer experienced/lateral sworn and non-sworn personnel, with at least 5 years of law enforcement experience, a week of vacation and sick leave upon hire. Sworn personnel have agreed to working 84 hours of straight time work in each designated pay period before being paid overtime to assist in funding this increase. In addition, staff are recommending that the following vacant positions be eliminated from the budget to fund these increases: two Municipal Law Enforcement positions, one part-time reserve dispatcher and one part-time reserve officer. The City of Oroville and the Oroville Police Officers’ Association have agreed to the following:
1. OPOA Sworn Personnel shall receive a 5% salary increase, effective January 5, 2026.
2. OPOA Sworn Personnel shall receive overtime pay after eighty-four (84) hours of straight time pay in a pay period, effective January 5, 2026. 33 Item 7.
3. OPOA Sworn and Non-Sworn lateral transfers, with at least five (5) years of law enforcement experience, shall receive an initial forty (40) hours of vacation and forty (40) hours of sick leave upon hire. However, 40 hours of vacation cannot be cashed out until the new hired lateral’s probationary period has passed.
4. Two Municipal Law Enforcement Officer positions, a part-time reserve dispatcher position, and a part-time reserve police officer/detective position will be eliminated from the budget to assist in funding this 5% salary increase for Sworn members.

Dear Mr. Aceves and Mr. Garcia,
On behalf of the Oroville City Council, I am writing to express safety concerns the Council has with bridge on State Route 70 (SR-70), over the Feather River, between Montgomery Street and Grand Avenue. Pedestrians are seen walking illegally along or near the freeway in the vicinity of the Feather River crossing on a daily basis. While this behavior is unsafe and unlawful, it is somewhat understandable given the limited surface-street connections across the Feather River in this part of Oroville. That pattern of behavior highlights the need for safer local alternatives and improved facility design.
Several serious and fatal incidents have occurred on or near this structure in recent years, including:
• On June 4, 2024, a double-fatal collision occurred on the northbound Feather River Bridge just north of Montgomery Street on-ramp, when a stopped vehicle on the bridge with no shoulder refuge was struck at highway speeds by a following vehicle. • On January 15, 2025, a pedestrian sustained major injuries after being struck on or near SR-70 by Montgomery Street.
• On April 14, 2025, a pedestrian was fatally struck while attempting to cross SR-70 in the Oroville area.
While I defer to Caltrans, BCAG, and CHP for formal data analysis, these incidents are consistent with the risks created by:
David Pittman
Office of Mayor
39 Item 8.
December 31, 2025 Page 2
“Oroville – California's best opportunity for a safe and diverse quality of life” • A shoulder-constrained bridge deck,
• A very short northbound on-ramp at Montgomery Street, and • No parallel frontage road or surface-street alternative between Montgomery and Grand.
Although the SR-70 corridor between Chico and Marysville has benefitted from decades of upgrades, the Feather River Bridge in Oroville remains one of the most consequential bottlenecks on the route, for several reasons:
1. Urban location
This is not a rural gap. The bridge sits inside the City of Oroville, directly linking:
o Downtown businesses and neighborhoods,
o Key Butte County services (courthouse, jail, social services, behavioral health), o The regional medical and commercial areas, and
o The SR-162 corridor and surrounding communities.
2. Evacuation and emergency function
SR-70 and SR-162 function as primary emergency evacuation and access routes for wildfire, flood, and dam-related events. A crash or disabled vehicle on a shoulder less bridge at this location can quickly turn into a full closure, compromising evacuation, emergency ingress, and hospital access at precisely the wrong time.
3. Lack of local redundancy
Within this portion of Oroville, Table Mountain Boulevard is essentially the only twolane surface-street crossing of the Feather River. Short local trips between the north and south sides of town, and to county services, often have no realistic choice but to use SR70 and its ramps.
4. Predictable pedestrian exposure
The scarcity of comfortable, direct pedestrian routes across the river helps explain why pedestrians sometimes enter the freeway environment despite the danger. As a District B commuter, I observe this behavior regularly.
Together, these factors make the SR-70 Feather River Bridge more than just another tight spot on the highway—it is a critical choke point embedded in the heart of a city, adjacent to government, emergency, and evacuation infrastructure.
The Sacramento Valley Route 70/99 Corridor Business Plan has, for many years, recognized the need for improvements in Oroville, including:
• Widening and improving the Grand Avenue and Nelson Avenue ramps, • Widening the Grand Avenue overcrossing to four lanes, and • Widening the Feather River Bridge in Oroville to six lanes as part of a broader set of capacity and safety enhancements.
In that plan, the Feather River Bridge widening appears as a future conceptual project, listed with no completed Project Study Report (PSR) and no construction funding programmed. In practical terms, that means it was acknowledged as a need but has not yet gone through the formal project development pipeline.
By contrast, more recent work through Oroville has taken the form of a Capital Preventive Maintenance (CAPM) project—rehabilitating the existing roadway between the Feather River 40 Item 8.
December 31, 2025 Page 3
“Oroville – California's best opportunity for a safe and diverse quality of life” Bridge and Foothill Boulevard (pavement, drainage, and related elements). That project was not scoped or funded as a widening or geometric upgrade, and therefore did not address the core shoulder, capacity, or operational issues at the bridge.
At the same time, Caltrans and BCAG have successfully directed substantial funding to other high-priority segments along SR-70, including:
• Rural two-to-four lane widening and passing lane projects between Marysville and Oroville aimed at reducing historically high crash rates, and • The Honcut Creek Bridge and corridor improvement project, completed in 2023, which removed a significant rural choke point and improved safety with wider shoulders, passing opportunities, and modern standards.
The Council greatly appreciate these investments. They demonstrate that Caltrans and BCAG can deliver major choke-point removal projects on SR-70 when needs are clearly identified and funding aligned. The Council’s request is that the Feather River Bridge in Oroville be brought up into that same level of priority and attention.
The Council also wants to affirm its support for the Table Mountain Boulevard Complete Streets Project and related efforts to improve local bicycle, pedestrian, and transit connectivity.
Together, these would:
• Reduce pressure on the freeway for short local trips, • Provide safer and more attractive options for pedestrians and cyclists, and • Build redundancy into the network for emergencies and day-to-day operations.
The Council respectfully asks that Caltrans District 3 and BCAG consider initiating the following:
1. A focused SR-70 safety and operational study between Montgomery Street and Grand Avenue, including the Feather River Bridge and ramps, with attention to collision history, disabled-vehicle scenarios, pedestrian exposure, and evacuation performance.
2. Project development work (PSR and beyond) to evaluate alternatives for widening the Feather River Bridge, including:
o Provision of standard shoulders and improved geometrics, o Potential separated shared-use path accommodations where feasible, and o Modern safety features to protect motorists, pedestrians, and first responders.
3. A feasibility study for a frontage road or parallel local street connection between Montgomery Street and Grand Avenue, aimed at:
o Reducing short “hop” trips on the freeway,
o Providing an alternative route for emergency services and local traffic, and o Supporting future multimodal and economic development in this corridor.
4. Identification of appropriate funding pathways, including but not limited to SHOPP safety, HSIP, STIP/RTIP, CMAQ, and applicable federal discretionary programs focused on safety, resilience, and multimodal connectivity.

“Oroville – California's best opportunity for a safe and diverse quality of life”
5. A multi-agency coordination meeting, bringing together Caltrans, BCAG, the City of Oroville, Butte County, CHP, and emergency management personnel to review initial findings and identify next steps.
Thank you for your ongoing leadership and investment in the SR-70 corridor, and for your consideration of these concerns. The SR-70 Feather River Bridge in Oroville, because of its urban location, its linkage between downtown and critical county services, and its role within the region’s emergency evacuation network, stands out as a choke point that, in our view, merits elevated attention in upcoming planning and programming cycles.

The City Council shall consider authorizing the purchase of 15 solar lights and light poles for the Hewitt Park parking lot and basketball court area.
DISCUSSION
The 15 existing lights in the Hewitt Park parking lot and basketball court are non-operational.
The electrical wiring has been stolen and most of the globes have been broken by vandalism.
The new lights would be installed by Public Works employees.
The supplier of the solar lights being installed within the park itself, GBL, was asked to provide a quote for these additional 15 lights and poles. Two options for light styles were offered. The Sparrow lights most closely match the existing non-operational light fixtures in the parking lot, with a Bell Hook arm, and cost $121,560.00. The Siege lights are similar to the new lights installed in the park renovation project and cost $72,395.00 total.
Construction of the park is almost complete, and Change Orders are expected to be minimal for the rest of the project. There are enough funds in Project Contingency to cover this cost.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in the Capital Projects Fund will be utilized for this purchase.
ACTION REQUESTED -
APPROVE THE PURCHASE IN THE AMOUNT OF $72,395.00 PLUS A 10% CONTINGENCY IN THE AMOUNT OF $7,239.50 FOR A TOTAL OF $79,634.50.

CITY OF OROVILLE
STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: JACOB GLICK – ASSISTANT CIVIL ENGINEER
RE: AWARD OF CONTRACT; SANITARY SEWER SERVICE PROFESSIONAL
SERVICE AGREEMENT
DATE: JANUARY 6, 2026
SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider awarding a Professional Services Contract to Carollo Engineers of Sacramento for design engineering services in support of the Sanitary Sewer Lift Station Bypass & Modernization Project.
DISCUSSION
The City’s sanitary sewer lift stations are aging and in need of modernization upgrades, making their maintenance and rehabilitation a high priority to improve system reliability, increase operator safety, reduce the risk of sewage overflows, and streamline future maintenance operations.
The lift stations and associated sewer lines that will be designed under this contract are Orangewood, Riverview Terrace, Olive Glenn, Butte Woods, South 7th, Georgia Pacific, and the Airport.
In support of this project, staff propose to select a qualified engineering consultant to provide professional services as task orders under a three-year professional service agreement, a base year with an option for up to two (2) one-year extensions at the City’s discretion.
An RFP for a Sanitary Sewer Professional Service Agreement was advertised on October 24, 2025 and proposals were received on November 20, 2025. A total of three proposals were received.
City staff conducted an evaluation of the proposals received based on their technical merits and responsiveness to the requirements and objectives of the issued RFP. Proposals were judged based on technical merit, experience & qualifications, and approach & methodology. Based on these criteria, Carollo Engineers was selected as the most technically qualified firm. Notably, Carollo Engineers has performed sanitary sewer mapping and modeling services for the City in the past which makes them uniquely qualified to continue providing professional services in support of the City’s sanitary sewer system.
FISCAL IMPACT
54 Item 10.
Funding source is the Sewer budget. Specific projects under this Professional Service Agreement will be assigned through written task orders describing scope and schedule. Fees for these services will be negotiated per task. This provides flexibility in the fiscal impact to the City and will allow City staff to monitor and modify project scope based on available sanitary sewer budget.

Services required by the City shall be determined by task orders issued by the City and accepted by Consultant.
1.2. Standard of Care. In performing the Services, Consultant will meet or exceed the applicable standard of care for and exercise the degree of skill and diligence ordinarily used by reputable professionals within the State of California who provide the same or similar type of professional Services as the Services required under this Agreement.

Program content includes interactive presentations, facilitated discussions, and opportunities for participants to engage directly with City leadership and staff. The curriculum emphasizes leadership skills, civic responsibility, communication, and an understanding of how local government decisions impact the community.
