DATE: APRIL 21, 2026

SUMMARY
The City Council shall receive a presentation by Cindy Daniluke that provides an overview of the Any Given Child (AGC) program and highlights local efforts to expand arts education opportunities for Oroville-area students through collaborative partnerships.

DISCUSSION
In Spring 2020, the Butte County Office of Education applied for participation in the national AGC program, an initiative designed to expand equitable access to arts education for all students. The City of Oroville, along with other community partners, provided letters of support for this designation.

By Fall 2021, Butte County was accepted into the AGC National Network. Participating school districts include:
 Thermalito Union Elementary School District
 Oroville City Elementary School District
 Palermo Union School District
Initial planning meetings focused on funding opportunities and building a coordinated arts education framework across the region.

Following the passage of Proposition 28 Arts, Music in Schools Funding Guarantee and Accountability Act in November 2022, which provides dedicated funding for arts and music education, the AGC program shifted its focus toward strengthening partnerships between schools, museums, and local organizations.

Chinese Temple Field Trip – Third Grade
Quote by 3rd grade Teacher, Helen Wilcox Elementary School, Christy Allsup
The field trip to the Chinese Temple was one of the most organized field trips we've attended. All 6 classes had nothing but great things to say about it--kids, teachers, and parent volunteers as well. It was the perfect mix of learning, combined with just enough hands-on activities. We appreciated the docent presentation beforehand, the books, and the amazing art Ms. Mikaela did with our students.
20 Item 1.

THANK YOU
The quality of these field trips would not be possible without strong partnerships. Museum staff have elevated the experience through their active participation. We hope to expand these opportunities to more students and grade levels, but doing so will require continued support from all of our community partners.

RE: AUTHORIZATION TO REPAIR FIRE ENGINE 91
DATE: APRIL 21, 2026

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider authorizing expenditures to repair Fire Engine 91 following damage sustained while responding to a structure fire in early March.

DISCUSSION
In early March, Fire Engine 91 was damaged while responding to a structure fire. The incident resulted in damage to two compartment doors, along with paint and body damage along the side of the apparatus. The affected areas include the drip rail and side panels, which will require bodywork and repainting to restore the engine to proper condition.

The initial repair estimate is $22,812.36. Staff is requesting a not-to-exceed amount of $32,812.36 to account for the possibility that the compartment doors cannot be repaired. If repairs are not feasible, the doors will need to be rebuilt by Smeal, which would increase the overall cost. Staff will make every effort to complete the work within the original estimate and only utilize the additional funds if necessary.

FISCAL IMPACT
Repair is estimated at $22,812.36, with a not-to-exceed amount of $32,812.36. Funds for this repair will be drawn from the Capital Asset Fund - Outside Services.

ACTION REQUESTED -
AUTHORIZE FIRE ENGINE 91 REPAIRS, APPROVING A NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT OF $32,812.36, TO BE FUNDED FROM CAPITAL ASSET - OUTSIDE SERVICES.

Primary enclosures should allow animals to see out but should also provide at least some opportunity to avoid visual contact with other animals.
d. Primary enclosures must provide animals with the opportunity to express normal behavior, such as (depending on species and housing unit) hiding, perching, walking, running, jumping, scratching, playing, and interacting with or avoiding conspecifics and people.

In addition, cats and dogs should be able to hold their tails erect when in a normal standing position.
e. Excreta shall be removed from primary enclosures as often as necessary to prevent contamination of the animals contained therein and to control disease hazards and odors. When water or cleaning and disinfecting products will be sprayed in or near the area of the primary enclosure, animals must be removed from the 63 Item 4.

Animals shall not be placed in empty primary enclosures previously inhabited by other animals unless the enclosure has first been cleaned and disinfected.
f. Animals showing signs of contagious illness shall be removed from rooms and enclosures containing healthy animals and housed in a separate isolation room.
g. Animals shall not be tied to fences or cages in lieu of being housed in primary enclosures.
h. Vehicles used to transport animals must protect the animals from the elements, provide adequate ventilation and climate control, and be structurally sound to prevent injury to animals.

a. Cages or crates intended for short-term, temporary confinement or travel (e.g. airline crates, transport carriers, cages or crates designed to restrict mobility during a defined period for recovery or treatment including small stainless steel cages less than 2 ft x 2 ft), are unacceptable as primary enclosures. Crates or cages must not be stacked upon each other in a manner that increases animal stress or discomfort, compromises ventilation, or allows waste material to fall from the cage above into the cage below. b. Animals housed in the same primary enclosure shall be maintained in compatible groups, with all of the following additional restrictions:

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider approving the hosting of the traveling exhibition Chinese Pioneers: Power and Politics in Exclusion Era Photographs at the Chinese Temple Museum from August through October 2026.

DISCUSSION
The City of Oroville Museums has been offered the opportunity to host the traveling exhibit Chinese Pioneers: Power and Politics in Exclusion Era Photographs through Exhibit Envoy, a nonprofit organization that circulates museum-quality exhibits to cultural institutions throughout California, and the United States. As a courtesy associated with the Cultural Facilities Curator Vanessa Cantú serving on the Executive Board of Directors for Exhibit Envoy, the $1,000 exhibition booking fee has been waived, leaving the City of Oroville responsible only for shipping costs, at approximately $200 and minor installation efforts.

Drawn exclusively from the California Historical Society collection at Stanford University, the exhibit explores the experiences of Chinese Californians during the decades surrounding the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act through historic photographs and interpretive text.

The exhibit consists of 11 free-standing retractable banners with translated text available in Spanish and Chinese. The Cultural Facilities Curator plans to augment the exhibit with artifacts and photographs from the Oroville Chinese Temple’s collections to provide local context and strengthen interpretation of Oroville’s Chinese American history. The exhibit 101

Sewer System Management Plan March 30, 2026
Introduction
Background
This Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) has been prepared in compliance with the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Order 2022-0103-DWQ, Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR’s) for Sanitary Sewer Systems, as adopted by the SWRCB on June 5, 2022. The WDR’s prohibit sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) and requires the reporting of SSO’s using the statewide electronic reporting system. This SSMP has been prepared for the City of Oroville (City) with assistance from Bennett Engineering Services, Inc (2026 Update).

System Description
The City of Oroville is located in Butte County, approximately 85 miles southeast of Redding and 65 miles north of Sacramento. The City owns and operates a sanitary sewer collection system for the benefit of residents and businesses in the Oroville city limits. The City’s estimated population in 2025 was 19,871 and the City occupies an area of approximately

12.1 square miles. The sanitary sewer crew maintain approximately 66.6 miles of sanitary sewer gravity mains with approximately 1,189 manholes and over 2.1 miles of force main.

The City also maintains seven primary sewer lift stations, one secondary lift station, and two flow meters. The sanitary sewer crew consists of six workers and one manager. Since the last SSMP update, the City has adequately staffed the sanitary sewer crew with knowledgeable and trained crew members. At this time, the crews are meeting or exceeding maintenance expectations and completing many projects before the goal date.

The Sewerage Commission-Oroville Region (SC-OR) provides wastewater treatment and disposal for the Oroville Region through the operation of a treatment plant located on South 5 th Avenue, south of downtown Oroville. Average dry weather wastewater flows (ADWFs) conveyed through the City’s collection system are 1.9 MGD.

The system is expected to grow to approximately 6.45 MGD through build out of the collection system per the Sewer Master Plan Update in 2013 (Carollo). 114

Section 4. Operations and Maintenance Program

4.1. Introduction
This section of the SSMP provides an overview of the City’s operations and maintenance program.

4.2. WDR Requirements
The summarized requirements for the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Program are:
(a) Maintain an up-to-date map of the sanitary sewer system, showing all gravity line segments and manholes, pumping facilities, pressure pipes and valves, and applicable storm water conveyance facilities;
(b) Describe routine preventive operation and maintenance activities by staff and contractors, including a system for scheduling regular maintenance and cleaning of the sanitary sewer system with more frequent cleaning and maintenance targeted at known problem areas. The preventative maintenance (PM) program should have a system to document scheduled and conducted activities, such as work orders; (c) Develop a rehabilitation and replacement plan to identify and prioritize system deficiencies and implement short-term and long-term rehabilitation actions to address each deficiency. The program should include regular visual and TV inspections of manholes and sewer pipes, and a system for ranking the condition of sewer pipes and scheduling rehabilitation. Rehabilitation and replacement should focus on sewer pipes that are at risk of collapse or prone to more frequent blockages due to pipe defects.

Finally, the rehabilitation and replacement plan should include a capital improvement plan that addresses proper management and protection of the infrastructure assets. The plan shall include a time schedule for implementing the short- and long-term plans plus a schedule for developing the funds needed for the capital improvement plan; (d) Provide training on a regular basis for staff in sanitary sewer system operations and maintenance, and require contractors to be appropriately trained; and (e) Provide equipment and replacement part inventories, including identification of critical replacement parts.

4.3. Collection System Maps
The City maintains its collection system maps using Geographic Information System (GIS).

The maps include all gravity line segments and manholes, pumping facilities, pressure pipes and valves, and applicable storm water conveyance facilities. The field crews use hard copy maps that are produced from GIS. The hard copy maps are updated on an as-needed basis.

Corrections that are identified by the field crews are forwarded to Engineering Division for action. High-priority corrections are completed as soon as possible. High-priority corrections refer to mapping information that could cause
126
Item 6.

City of Oroville Page 4-2
Sewer System Management Plan March 30, 2026
the field crews to act in a manner that could cause an SSO. Low-priority corrections are completed once a year.

4.4. Operation and Maintenance Program
The elements of the City’s sewer system O&M program include:
• Proactive, preventive, and corrective maintenance of gravity sewers; • Ongoing CCTV inspection program to determine the condition of the gravity sewers; • Rehabilitation and replacement of collection system facilities that are in poor condition; and
• Periodic inspection and preventive maintenance for lift station and force main facilities.

Please see Attachment A for an example of the maintenance logs used by the City. The details of the City’s O&M programs are:

4.4.1. Gravity Sewers
The City proactively cleans all sewers 12-inches in diameter and smaller every two years, and it preventively cleans sewers with a history of problems every 1, 2, or 3 months. The City’s standard operating procedure for sewer cleaning is included as Appendix 4-A.

Gravity sewer cleaning is currently scheduled using paper work orders. The City attempted transitioning to a computer-based maintenance management system to initiate work orders, record completed work and compile a maintenance history for each individual sewer system asset, but the software has since been abandoned. Everything is documented and scheduled using paper work orders.

The City will visually inspect the condition of its entire system greater than 6 inches, every five years and provide cleaning if needed. The City uses CCTV to determine the cause of its gravity sewer blockages and SSOs.

The City completes repairs in priority order using its field crews and underground contractors when required during difficult repairs.

The public works field crews maintain a list of known structural problems for use in providing input to the Public Works Engineering Division on the Capital Improvement Program.

4.4.2. Lift Stations
The City’s lift station O&M program consists of operational inspections, preventive maintenance, and corrective maintenance activities.

The operation of the lift stations is inspected at least once weekly. Critical lift stations such as those with close proximity to the river and high flows are inspected three times per week.

The critical stations include Riverview, Orangewood, Olive Glen, and Butte Woods lift stations. Facility or equipment problems observed during the operational 127
Item 6.

City of Oroville Page 4-3
Sewer System Management Plan March 30, 2026
inspections are noted on logs maintained at the lift stations and on reports for follow-up action. Emergency generators are exercised on the first working day of the month along with any alarm system testing. At this time, Accularm Security Systems is contracted to complete the testing and control the system.

Repairs and major maintenance of lift stations are completed by City staff. Specialty repairs, maintenance, or rehabilitation/replacement are put out to bid.

4.4.3. Force Mains
The City’s force main O&M program consists of periodic inspections, preventive maintenance, and corrective maintenance activities.

The City is a member of Underground Service Alert and marks the location of its force mains to prevent damage by others during underground construction.

The force main right-of-ways are inspected quarterly to identify leakage and potential incursions associated with nearby construction. Formal inspections are difficult due to either accessibility issues or the small diameter of the force mains which does not allow for video inspection.

4.4.4. Non-Routine Maintenance
Non-routine maintenance activities include investigation and response to any complaints regarding a sanitary sewer overflow, missing or shifted manhole covers, manhole covers that are excessively noisy, residential plumbing troubles, lift station malfunction, unexpected sewer odor, etc. Sewer complaints are investigated and appropriate actions are taken to resolve the source of the problem.

4.5. Rehabilitation and Replacement Plan
The City has a Capital Improvement Program that includes the rehabilitation and replacement of its collection system assets where conditions warrant.

The sewer system projects that are included in the City’s Capital Improvement Program are shown in Appendix 4-B.

4.6. Training Program
The City currently uses a combination of on-the-job training, conferences, seminars, and other opportunities to train its collection system staff through Target Solution. A partial list of available training resources is shown on Table 4-1. Please see Attachment B, for the most current California Water Environment Association Collection System Maintenance certificates. The goal is to continue training until each member of the crew has at least a Grade 2 or Grade 3 certificate.

Procedures for Sewer Cleaning Crew
Prior to Leaving the Yard

1. Plan the work so that it starts in the upstream portion of the area and moves downstream.

2. Wherever possible, plan to clean sewers from the downstream manhole.

3. Inspect the sewer cleaning nozzles for wear. Replace nozzles that are excessively worn.

4. If this is the first day that this cleaning unit is being used this week, inspect the first 200 feet of hose and couplings for damage or wear.

At the Jobsite

1. Wear proper personnel protective equipment (PPE).

2. Fill the water tank at or near the first job site.

3. Determine and confirm location of upstream and downstream manholes (use street addresses, if possible).

4. Look for any overhead utilities that may come into contact with the vacuum boom during the cleaning operation.

5. Set up proper traffic control by placing traffic signs, flags, cones and other traffic control devices.

6. Move the cleaning unit into the traffic control so that the hose reel is positioned over the manhole.

7. Open the manhole and use the gas detector to determine if it is safe to proceed with the cleaning operation.

8. Install the Warthog nozzle on the hose.

Cleaning Operation

1. Insert the debris trap.

2. Start the auxiliary engine.

3. Lower the hose, with a guide or roller to protect the hose, into the manhole and direct it into the sewer to be cleaned.

4. Start the high-pressure pump and set the engine speed to provide adequate pressure for the sewer cleaning operation.

5. Open the water valve and allow the hose to proceed up the sewer. The hose speed should not exceed 3 feet per minute.

6. Allow the hose to proceed 25% of the length of the sewer and pull the hose back.

7. Observe the nature and the quantity of debris pulled back to the manhole.

8. If there is little or no debris, allow the hose to proceed to the upstream manhole. 131
Item 6.

City of Oroville Page 4-7
Sewer System Management Plan March 30, 2026

9. If there is moderate to heavy debris, clean the remaining portion of the sewer in steps not to exceed 25% of the length of the sewer.

10. Open the upstream manhole and verify that the nozzle is at or past the manhole.

11. The sewer has been adequately cleaned when successive passes with a cleaning nozzle do not produce any additional debris, and the sewer is able to pass a full size, six-wire skid (“proofer”) for its entire length.

12. Determine the nature and quantity of the debris removed during the cleaning operation.

Use the codes in Table 4-1 to report the nature and quantity of debris. Figure 4-1 is an excerpt from the CWEA “Best Practices Cleaning Results” publication and sets guidelines for coding debris found during field work.

6.3. Goals
The City’s goals with respect to responding to SSOs are:
• Respond quickly to minimize the volume of the SSO;
• Eliminate the cause of the SSO;
• Contain the spilled wastewater to the extent feasible; • Minimize public contact with the spilled wastewater;
• Mitigate the impact of the SSO;
• Meet the regulatory reporting requirements; and
• Notify the public when a threat to public health exists.

6.4. SSO Detection
The processes that are employed to notify the City of the occurrence of an SSO include: observation by the public, receipt of an alarm, or observation by City staff during the normal course of their work.

6.4.1. Public Observation
Public observation is the most common way that the City is notified of blockages and spills. Contact information for reporting sewer spills and backups are on the City’s website:
http://www.cityoforoville.org/services/public-works-department/engineeringdivision/sanitary-sewers and the Public Works Department is in the process of installing signs near lift stations with emergency contact information. The working hours telephone number for reporting sewer problems is (530) 538-2420. The after-hours telephone number is (530) 538- 2448 (Police Dispatch).

6.4.1.1. Normal Work Hours
The City’s regular working hours for the sewer crew is Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. except holidays. When a report of a sewer spill or backup is made, City Staff receives the call, takes the information from the caller, fills out the first section of the Sewer Report Form (See Attachment D) and communicates it to the field crew who responds to the site.

6.4.1.2. After Hours
The Police Dispatcher receives the call, takes the information from the caller, and communicates it to the Public Works Standby Person. The Police Dispatcher also notifies Public Works if an alarm is set off after hours. See Appendix 6-A for additional after-hours personnel contact information.
145
Item 6.

City of Oroville Page 6-4
Sewer System Management Plan March 30, 2026

6.4.2. Receipt of Alarm
If an alarm is set off during normal working hours, Accularm will contact the City Staff; however, after hours they will contact the Police Dispatcher as well as the Public Works Supervisor if available.

6.4.3. City Staff Observation
City Staff conduct periodic inspections of the sewer system facilities as part of their routine activities. Any problems noted with the sewer system facilities are reported to appropriate City personnel who, in turn, respond to emergency situations.

6.5. SSO Response Procedures
Sewer service calls and lift station alarms are considered high priority events that demand a prompt response. The notification and response procedure flow chart is shown on Figure 6-1. Emergency contact information is included in Appendix 6-A.

6.5.1. First Responder’s Role
• To protect public health, environment and property from sewage spill events and restore area back to normal as soon as possible.
• To establish perimeters and control zones with traffic cones, barricades, vehicles or terrain.
• To promptly identify major SSO events and/or the need for additional resources (e.g. people, equipment, etc.).
• To contain and control the sewage discharged to the maximum extent possible.

Every effort must be made to prevent the discharge of sewage into waterways above and below ground.

6.5.2. First Responder Priorities
The first responder’s priorities are to:
• Follow safe work practices.
• Respond promptly with the appropriate equipment.
• Contain the spill whenever feasible.
• Restore the flow as soon as practicable.
• Minimize public access to and/or contact with the spilled sewage. • Promptly notify Public Works Operations Manager in event of major SSO. • Return the spilled sewage to the sewer system.
• Restore the area to its original condition (or as close as possible). 146
Item 6.

City of Oroville Page 6-5
Sewer System Management Plan March 30, 2026

6.5.3. Safety
The first responder is responsible for following safety procedures at all times. Special safety precautions must be observed when performing sewer system work.

There may be times when City personnel responding to a sewer system event are not familiar with potential safety hazards peculiar to sewer system work. In such cases it is appropriate to take the time to discuss safety issues, consider the order of work, and check safety equipment before starting the job.

6.5.4. Initial Response
All sewer system calls require a response to the reported location of the event in an attempt to minimize or eliminate an overflow. The first responder must respond to the reporting party, lift station, or site of the problem immediately and visually check for potential sewer stoppages or overflows.
147
Item 6.

City of Oroville Page 6-6
Sewer System Management Plan March 30, 2026
Figure 6-1: SSO Response Procedure Flow Chart
148
Item 6.

City of Oroville Page 6-7
Sewer System Management Plan March 30, 2026
The first responder should:
• Get a brief description of the nature of the problem from the caller. Determine appropriate response measures based on the circumstances and information provided by the caller (e.g. weather and traffic conditions, small back up vs. sewage flowing on the ground, etc.).
• If the situation requires, call the Public Works Operations Manager (working hours) or the Police Dispatcher (after hours) to call other Public Works employees to assist in the SSO response. See Appendix 6-A for After Hours and Emergency Contact Information.
• Note arrival time, document conditions with photographs, contact caller if time permits.
• Verify the existence of a sewer system spill or backup. • Regardless of whether the spill/backup is caused by a private lateral or other agency sewer system, the responding crew should always contain/mitigate the spilled sewage to the extent feasible and standby until representatives of the responsible party arrive and are fully operational.

6.5.5. Restore Flow
Relieve the stoppage or restore the lift station operation as soon as possible by use of the appropriate equipment.

If addressing a stoppage, set up downstream of the blockage and hydro clean or rod upstream from a clear manhole. Attempt to remove the blockage from the system and observe the flows to ensure that the blockage does not recur downstream.

If the blockage cannot be cleared within a reasonable time (15 minutes), or the sewer requires construction repairs to restore flow, or if the lift station operation cannot be restored within the wet well holding time, then initiate containment and/or bypass pumping. If assistance is required, contact the Public Works Operations Manager (working hours) or the Police Dispatch (after hours) or call other employees directly.

6.5.6. Initiate Spill Containment Measures
The first responder should attempt to contain as much of the spilled sewage as possible using the following steps:
• When a spill, leak, and/or overflow occurs, keep sewage from entering the storm drain system to the maximum extent practicable by covering or blocking storm drain inlets and catch basins, or by containing and diverting the sewage away from open channels and other storm drain facilities (using sandbags, inflatable dams, plastic mats, etc.).
• Determine the immediate destination of the overflowing sewage. • Review sewer maps for possible temporary upstream flow diversion bypassing. 149
Item 6.

City of Oroville Page 6-8
Sewer System Management Plan March 30, 2026
• Pump around the blockage/pipe failure/lift station.
• Dike/dam (or sandbag) the spill by building a temporary berm to collect the spilled sewage.
• If overflowing sewage has made contact with the storm drainage system, attempt to contain the spilled sewage by plugging downstream storm drainage facilities. • Modify these methods as needed to accommodate wet weather conditions where the feasibility of containment may be impacted by the quantity of stormwater runoff.

6.6. Recovery and Clean Up
The recovery and clean up phase begins when the flow has been restored and the spilled sewage has been contained to the extent possible. The SSO recovery and clean up procedures are:

6.6.1. Water Quality Sampling and Testing
Water quality sampling and testing is required whenever more than 1,000 gallons of spilled sewage enters a surface water to determine the extent and impact of the SSO.

The water quality sampling procedures are:
• The first responder should collect samples. Samples should be collected as soon as possible after the discovery of the SSO event.
• For discharges into flowing water (e.g. rivers, creeks), the water quality samples should be collected from 100 feet upstream of the spill, from the spill area, and for 1,000 feet downstream of the spill at 100-foot intervals. • For discharges into stationary water (e.g. lakes, ponds), the water quality samples should be collected from the spill area, and for 1,000 feet on either side of the spill at 100-foot intervals.
• A laboratory will analyze the results to determine the nature and impact of the discharge. Additional samples will be taken to determine when posting of warning signs can be discontinued. The basic analyses should include total coliform, fecal coliform, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), dissolved oxygen, and ammonia nitrogen.

6.6.2. Public Notification
The public that may be at risk should be warned to avoid contact with sewage or sewage-contaminated water from an SSO. The notification methods are described in the subsections below.

Local agencies and individuals may need to be contacted as soon as possible, depending on the situation, including:
• Police Department to control traffic;
150
Item 6.

City of Oroville Page 6-9
Sewer System Management Plan March 30, 2026
• Public Works to close the areas (i.e. parks) and to mitigate impact on surface waters; and
• Local residents who may be impacted by the sewage spill.

6.6.2.1. Sign Posting and Barricading
Post warning signs and block the contaminated areas with “Yellow Caution Tape” and barricades to keep vehicles and pedestrians away from contact with spilled sewage. Do not remove these until results of the lab tests show that the area is safe for human contact. A sample warning sign is included as Appendix 6-H.

Property, creeks, rivers, or beaches that have been contaminated as a result of an SSO should be posted at visible access locations until the risk of contamination has subsided to background levels. The warning signs, once posted, should be checked every day to ensure that they are still in place.

6.6.2.2. Notification of Media
Major spills may warrant broader public notice. The Director of Public Works will contact local media when significant areas may have been contaminated by sewage.

The Director of Public Works will maintain contact information for local media.

6.6.3. Estimate the Volume of Spilled Sewage
Use the methods outlined in Appendices 6-F and 6-G to estimate the volume of the spilled sewage. Wherever possible, document the estimate using photos of the SSO site before and during the recovery operation.

6.6.4. Recovery of Spilled Sewage
Vacuum up or pump the spilled sewage and discharge it back into the sanitary sewer system.

6.6.5. Clean up and Disinfection
When disinfecting a sewage-contaminated area, take every effort to ensure that the disinfectant or sewage treated with the disinfectant is not discharged to the storm drain system or surface waters. Methods may include blocking storm drain inlets, containing and diverting disinfectant and sewage away from open channels and other storm drain fixtures, and removing the material with vacuum equipment.

Clean up and disinfection procedures should be implemented to reduce the potential for human health issues and adverse environmental impacts that are associated with an SSO event. The procedures described are for dry weather conditions and should be modified as required for wet weather conditions. Where cleanup is beyond the capabilities of City staff, a cleanup contractor will be used. 151
Item 6.

City of Oroville Page 6-10
Sewer System Management Plan March 30, 2026

6.6.5.1. Hard Surface Areas
• Collect all signs of sewage solids and sewage-related material either by hand or with the use of rakes, brooms and shovels.
• Wash down the affected area with clean water until the water runs clear. Take reasonable steps to contain and vacuum up the wastewater. • Disinfect all areas that were contaminated from the overflow using the disinfectant solution of household bleach diluted 10:1 with water. Apply minimal amounts of the disinfectant solution using a hand sprayer. Document the volume and application method of disinfectant that was employed.
• Allow the area to dry. Repeat the process if additional cleaning is required. • Do not apply disinfectant solution during wet weather conditions.

6.6.5.2. Landscaped and Unimproved Natural Vegetation
• Collect all signs of sewage solids and sewage-related material either by hand or with the use of rakes, brooms, and shovels.
• Wash down the affected area with clean water until the water runs clear. The flushing volume should be approximately three times the estimated volume of the spill.
• Either contain or vacuum up the wash water so that none is released. • Allow the area to dry. Repeat the process if additional cleaning is required. • Do not apply disinfectant solution to landscaped areas or unimproved natural vegetation.

6.6.5.3. Natural Waterways
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife should be notified in the event a SSO impacts any natural waterways. Fish and Wildlife will provide the professional guidance needed to effectively clean up spills that occur in these sensitive environments.

Clean up should proceed quickly in order to minimize negative impact. Any water that is used in the cleanup process should be de-chlorinated prior to use.

6.6.5.4. Wet Weather Modifications
Omit flushing during heavy storm events with heavy runoff where flushing is not required.

6.6.6. Follow-Up Activities
If sewage has reached the storm drain system, the Sewer Cleaning Truck should be used to vacuum/pump out the catch basin, and any other portion of the storm drain that may contain sewage.

In the event that an overflow occurs at night, the location should be re-inspected as soon as possible the following day. The operator should look for any signs of 152
Item 6.

City of Oroville Page 6-11
Sewer System Management Plan March 30, 2026
sewage solids and sewage-related material that may warrant additional cleanup activities.

6.7. Failure Analysis Investigation
The objective of a failure analysis investigation is to determine the “root cause” of the SSO and to identify corrective action(s) needed that will reduce or eliminate future potential for the SSO to recur.

The investigation should include reviewing all relevant data to determine appropriate corrective action(s). The investigation should include:
• Reviewing and completing the Sewer Report Form;
• Reviewing past maintenance records;
• Reviewing available photographs;
• Conducting a CCTV inspection to determine the condition of the line segment immediately following the SSO and reviewing the video and logs; and • Interviewing staff who responded to the spill.

The product of the failure analysis investigation should be the determination of the root cause and the identification of the corrective actions. The Collection System SSO Analysis Form (Appendix 6-D) should be used to document the investigation.

6.8. SSO Categories
The SWRCB has established guidelines for classifying and reporting SSOs. Reporting and documentation requirements vary based on the type of SSO. There are three categories of SSOs as defined by the SWRCB:
• Category 1 - All discharges of any volume of sewage that:

A. Result in a discharge to a drainage channel and/or surface water; or B. Discharge to a storm drain pipe that was NOT fully captured and returned to the sanitary sewer system.
• Category 2 – Discharges of untreated or partially treated sewage equal to or greater than 1,000 gallons that discharge to a Surface Water. • Category 3 – Discharge Volume is between 50 gallons and 999 gallons. • Category 4 – Discharge Volume is less than 50 gallons.

6.9. SSO Documentation and Reporting
All SSOs should be thoroughly investigated and documented for use in managing the sewer system and meeting established reporting requirements. The procedures for investigating and documenting SSOs are:

It is important for employees to communicate effectively with the City’s customers, especially in a sewage backup situation. How we communicate – on the phone, in writing, or in person – is how we are perceived. Good communication with the homeowner results in greater confidence in our ability to address the problem satisfactorily, less time to resolve the claim, and less damage done to the property.

As a representative of the City, you will occasionally have to deal with an irate homeowner. A backup is a stressful event and even a reasonable homeowner can become irate should he/she perceive us as being indifferent, uncaring, unresponsive, or incompetent.

Although sometimes difficult, effective management of a sewage backup situation is critical. If it is not managed well, the situation can end up in a costly, prolonged process with the homeowner. We want the homeowner to feel assured that we are responsive and the homeowner’s best interest is a top priority.

Communication Tips
• Give the homeowner ample time to explain the situation or to vent. Show interest in what the homeowner has to say, no matter how many times you have heard it before, or how well you understand the problem.
• As soon as possible, let the customer know that you will determine if the source of the sewer backup is in the sewer main and, if it is, will have it corrected as quickly as you can. • Acknowledge the homeowner’s concerns. For example, if the homeowner seems angry or worried about property damage, say something like, “I understand you’re concerned about the possible damage to your property, but a professional cleanup crew can restore the area, and if it is determined that the City is at fault, the property owner has the right to file a claim for any reasonable repairs or losses resulting from this incident”. • Express regret for any inconveniences caused by the incident, but do not admit fault. • As much as possible, keep the homeowner informed about what is being done and what will be done to correct the problem.
• Keep focused on getting the job done in a very professional manner. Don’t wander from the problem with too much unnecessary small talk with the homeowner. • Don’t find fault or lay blame on anyone.
• Make sure someone follows up with a telephone call to ensure everything is being handled as it should be.

Before you leave, make sure the homeowner has the name and telephone number of someone in the City to call if he/she has questions or wants information. The customer information letter contains this information, and you should take the time to review this with the homeowner. 169

Appendix 6-F: Methods for Estimating Spill Volume
A variety of approaches exist for estimating the volume of a sanitary sewer spill. This appendix documents the three methods that are most often employed. The person preparing the estimate should use the most appropriate method to the sewer overflow in question and use the best information available.

Method 1 Eyeball Estimate
The volume of small spills can be estimated using an “eyeball estimate”. To use this method, imagine the amount of water that would spill from a bucket or a barrel. A bucket contains 5 gallons, and a barrel contains 50 gallons. If the spill is larger than 50 gallons, try to break the standing water into barrels and then multiply by 50 gallons. This method is useful for contained spills up to approximately 200 gallons.

Method 2 Measured Volume
The volume of most small spills that have been contained can be estimated using this method.

The shape, dimensions, and the depth of the contained wastewater are needed. The shape and dimensions are used to calculate the area of the spills, and the depth is used to calculate the volume.

Common Shapes and Dimensions
Step 1 Sketch the shape of the contained sewage (see figure above).

Step 2 Measure or pace off the dimensions.

Step 3 Measure the depth at several locations and select an average.

Step 4 Convert the dimensions, including depth, to feet.

Step 5 Calculate the area in square feet using the following formulas:

Rectangle: Area = length (feet) x width (feet)
Circle: Area = diameter (feet) x diameter (feet) x 0.785 Triangle: Area = base (feet) x height (feet) x 0.5
Step 6 Multiply the area (square feet) times the depth (in feet) to obtain the volume in cubic feet.

Step 7 Multiply the volume in cubic feet by 7.5 to convert it to gallons.

Method 3 Duration and Flowrate
Calculating the volume of larger spills, where it is difficult or impossible to measure the area and depth, requires a different approach. In this method, separate estimates are made of the duration of the spill and the flowrate. The methods of estimating duration and flowrate are:

Duration: The duration is the elapsed time from the time the spill started to the time that the flow was restored.

Start time: The start time is sometimes difficult to establish. Here are some approaches:
• Local residents can be used to establish start time. Inquire as to their observations. Spills that occur in rights-of-way are usually observed and reported promptly. Spills that occur out of the public view can go on longer. Sometimes observations like odors or sounds (e.g. water running in a normally dry creek bed) can be used to estimate the start time. • Changes in flow on a downstream flowmeter can be used to establish the start time.

Typically, the daily flow peaks are “cut off” or flattened by the loss of flow. This can be identified by comparing hourly flow data during the spill event with flow data from prior days. • Conditions at the spill site change over time. Initially there will be limited deposits of toilet paper and other sewage solids. After a few days to a week, the sewage solids form a lightcolored residue. After a few weeks to a month, the sewage solids turn dark. The quantity of toilet paper and other materials of sewage origin increase over time. These observations can be used to estimate the start time in the absence of other information. Taking photographs to document the observations can be helpful if questions arise later in the process. • It is important to remember that spills may not be continuous. Blockages are not usually complete (some flow continues). In this case the spill would occur during the peak flow periods (typically 10:00 to 12:00 and 13:00 to 16:00 each day). Spills that occur due to peak flows in excess of capacity will occur only during, and for a short period after, heavy rainfall.

End time: The end time is usually much easier to establish. Field crews on-site observe the “blow down” that occurs when the blockage has been removed. The “blow down” can also be observed in downstream flowmeters.

Flow Rate: The flowrate is the average flow that left the sewer system during the time of the spill.

There are three common ways to estimate the flowrate:
• The San Diego Manhole Flowrate Chart: This chart, included as Appendix 6-H, shows sewage flowing from manhole covers at a variety of flowrates. The observations of the field crew can be used to select the appropriate flowrate from the chart. If possible, photographs are useful in documenting basis for the flowrate estimate. 171
Item 6.

City of Oroville Page 6-30
Sewer System Management Plan March 30, 2026
• Flowmeter: Changes in flows in downstream flowmeters can be used to estimate the flowrate during the spill.
• Counting Connections: Once the location of the spill is known, the number of upstream connections can be determined from the sewer maps. Multiply the number of connections by 200 to 250 gallons per day per connection or 8 to 10 gallons per hour per connection.

For example: 22 upstream connections x 9 gallons per hour per connection = 198 gallons per hour / 60 minutes per hour
= 3.3 gallons per minute
Spill Volume: Once duration and flowrate have been estimated, the volume of the spill is the product of the duration in hours or days and the flowrate in gallons per hour or gallons per day.

For example:

Spill start time = 11:00
Spill end time = 14:00
Spill duration = 3 hours

3.3 gallons per minute x 3 hours x 60 minutes/hour = 594 gallons 172

Section 7. Sewer Pipe Blockage Control Program

7.1. Introduction
This section of the SSMP presents the City’s approach to preventing FOG-related SSOs. The FOG Control program occurs on an administrative staff level due to the necessity of a program.

7.2. WDR Requirements
The summarized requirements for the Sewer Pipe Blockage Control element of the SSMP are:

The collection system agency shall evaluate its service area to determine whether a Sewer Pipe Blockage control program is needed. If the collection system agency determines that a Sewer Pipe Blockage program is not needed, the collection system agency must provide justification for why it is not needed. If FOG is found to be a problem, the collection system agency must prepare and implement a Sewer Pipe Blockage source control program to reduce the amount of these substances discharged to the sanitary sewer system. The Sewer Pipe Blockage source control program shall include the following as appropriate:
(a) An implementation plan and schedule for a public education outreach program that promotes proper disposal of FOG;
(b) A plan and schedule for the disposal of FOG generated within the sanitary sewer system service area. This may include a list of acceptable disposal facilities and/or additional facilities needed to adequately dispose of FOG generated within a sanitary sewer system service area;
(c) The legal authority to prohibit discharges to the system and identify measures to prevent SSOs and blockages caused by Sewer Pipe Blockage; (d) Requirements to install grease removal devices (such as traps or interceptors), design standards for the grease removal devices, maintenance requirements, BMP requirements, record keeping and reporting requirements; (e) Authority to inspect grease producing facilities, enforcement authorities, and a determination of whether the Agency has sufficient staff to inspect and enforce the Sewer Pipe Blockage ordinance;
(f) An identification of sewer system sections subject to Sewer Pipe Blockage and the establishment of a cleaning maintenance schedule for each section; and (g) Development and implementation of source control measures, for all sources of Sewer Pipe Blockage discharged to the sewer system, for each sewer system section identified in (f) above.
176

7.3. Nature and Extent of Sewer Pipe Blockage Problem
Due to the frequency of CCTV-ing that occurs in the city, areas where Sewer Pipe Blockage related issues have a higher probability of occurring have been determined and put on a 1-to-2-month cleaning schedule. The City has only experienced one SSO due to Fats, Oils, and Grease since 2014. The city also intends to send out public education brochures regarding FOG to homeowners with the property tax and sewer fee invoice. The most recent SSO events in the past 5 years is shown in Table 7-1.

The City requires new and remodeled FOG sources to install grease removal equipment as a condition of the building permit.

7.4. Sewer Pipe Blockage Source Control Program
The performance of the City’s chosen approach to preventing Sewer Pipe Blockagerelated SSOs has been effective, and it will continue to follow this approach. The City will continue to require new and remodeled commercial FOG sources to install grease removal equipment. It will collect data to support a more comprehensive evaluation of the nature and extent of its FOG-related blockages and SSOs. The City will revisit the need for a commercial Sewer Pipe Blockage Control Program every time the SSMP is updated.

Section 8. System Evaluation and Capacity
Assurance Plan

8.1. Introduction
This section of the SSMP presents the City’s programs and activities to provide adequate sewer system capacity.

8.2. WDR Requirements
The summarized requirements for the System Evaluation and Capacity Assurance Plan (SECAP) element of the SSMP are:

The Agency shall prepare and implement a capital improvement plan (CIP) that will provide hydraulic capacity of key sanitary sewer system elements for dry weather peak flow conditions, as well as the appropriate design storm or wet weather event. At a minimum, the plan must include:
(a) Evaluation: Actions needed to evaluate those portions of the sanitary sewer system that are experiencing or contributing to an SSO discharge caused by hydraulic deficiency. The evaluation must provide estimates of peak flows (including flows from SSOs that escape from the system) associated with conditions similar to those causing overflow events, estimates of the capacity of key system components, hydraulic deficiencies (including components of the system with limiting capacity) and the major sources that contribute to the peak flows associated with overflow events.
(b) Design Criteria: Where design criteria do not exist or are deficient, undertake the evaluation identified in (a) above to establish appropriate design criteria. (c) Capacity Enhancement Measures: The steps needed to establish a short- and long-term CIP to address identified hydraulic deficiencies, including prioritization, alternatives analysis, and schedules. The CIP may include increases in pipe size, inflow and infiltration (I/I) reduction programs, increases and redundancy in pumping capacity, and storage facilities. The CIP shall include an implementation schedule and shall identify sources of funding. (d) Schedule: The Agency shall develop a schedule of completion dates for all portions of the capital improvement program developed in (a)-(c) above. This schedule shall be reviewed and updated consistently with the SSMP review and update requirements as described in Section D. 14 (of the WDR). 178

8.3. Evaluation – Sanitary Sewer Master Plan
The City completed a Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Update (Master Plan) in 2013. The master planning effort included flow monitoring and the development of a hydraulic model.

The flows were estimated for gravity sewers 10 inches in diameter and larger (some 8- inch sewers were included in the model) and a 10-year/24-hour return interval design storm. Approximately 75 pipes and 57 manholes did not meet the City’s wet weather surcharge of 3 feet below the rim elevation.

The Master Plan identified two locations where capacity deficiencies exist for the peak wet weather flow (PWWF) design storm and five additional areas of concern. More information regarding these locations can be found in Section 6.4.4 of the 2013 Sanitary Sewer Master Plan.

The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is reviewed and updated annually.

8.4. Design Criteria
The capacity-related design criteria, including base wastewater flow and peaking factors, are included in Section 5 of the SSMP, Design and Performance Provisions.

8.5. Capacity Enhancement Measures – CIP
The City’s Capital Improvement Program for sewer main capacity improvements is shown in Appendix 4-B.

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: PATRICK PIATT, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
RE: AGREEMENT WITH STRATEGIC EXPERTS LLC FOR MUNICIPAL

UTILITY AND COMMUNITY CHOICE AGGREGATION ADVISORY

SERVICES
DATE: APRIL 21, 2026

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider approving an agreement with Strategic Energy Experts LLC (SEE) to provide advisory services related to the City’s ongoing evaluation of local energy options, including a potential municipal electric utility and/or Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program. SEE’s role will be limited to advisory support, with the potential to assist in future implementation efforts should the City determine that forming a CCA is financially feasible.

DISCUSSION
The City of Oroville continues to explore opportunities to enhance local control over energy resources, improve reliability, and reduce long-term costs for residents and businesses. Strategic Energy Experts LLC (SEE) has submitted a proposal to provide advisory services to support the City throughout this process. SEE brings extensive experience in California’s energy market and has supported the formation and operation of numerous CCAs, including Butte Choice Energy.

Under the proposed agreement, SEE will serve in an advisory capacity. Their role will include providing strategic guidance, technical insight, and support in understanding the regulatory, operational, and structural considerations associated with municipal utility and CCA models. This includes assisting staff in interpreting feasibility findings, evaluating options, and preparing for potential next steps.

Importantly, SEE is not being engaged to conduct the financial feasibility analysis itself, as that work is being performed by a separate consultant under a different agreement.

Instead, SEE’s involvement is intended to complement that effort by ensuring the City is well-positioned to understand and act upon the results. 193
Item 7.

Should the feasibility analysis determine that formation of a CCA is financially viable and aligned with the City’s policy objectives, SEE may assist the City in subsequent steps, including implementation planning, regulatory coordination, and program development.

This phased and advisory-focused approach allows the City to maintain flexibility, limit upfront commitments, and make informed decisions based on independent financial analysis while still benefiting from SEE’s deep experience in utility and CCA development.

FISCAL IMPACT
The agreement with Strategic Energy Experts LLC will be structured on a time-andmaterials basis, with total compensation not to exceed $15,000. Hourly rates range from $130 to $285 depending on staff level.

SUBJECT: Municipal Utility and Customer Choice Aggregate Advisor Dear Mr. Ring:

Strategic Energy Experts LLC (SEE) is pleased to submit this proposal response to the City of Oroville (City) to advise on setting up a City municipal utility and/or Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) entity. SEE can provide significant value to the City based on the following unique and relevant work:

1. SEE has stood up more CCAs than any of our competition, and our diverse and highly skilled team of professionals can provide a wider scope of services to serve a full spectrum of utility/CCA needs.

Unlike other firms that specialize solely on regulatory, financial, power procurement or data management, these firms do not have the full bandwidth of expertise uniquely enjoyed by SEE to cover all aspects of utility operations.

2. SEE was the feasibility and start-up consultant for Butte Choice Energy (BCE) and has already developed the load and modeling tools specific to BCE. With little effort, these existing tools can be updated with new data to provide feasibility results in a very efficient and low cost manner.

3. SEE has an established working relationship with City staff. We understand the uniqueness of the region and enjoy working with the City’s team. SEE won’t need to use time getting “up to speed” on the City’s history and past precedents.

4. SEE is very responsive to requests from our clients. We will respond immediately and accurately when asked whereas other consultants often require more lead time.

5. SEE provides unbiased analysis and has a demonstrated history of delivering recommendations against utility start-up when the timing and/or financial feasibility has been poor.

Please find enclosed our qualifications, proposed scope of work and fee structure. We look forward to working with the City and hope to hear back from you at your earliest convenience. In the meantime, feel free to call with any questions.

Very truly yours,
Gary S. Saleba

CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: PATRICK PIATT, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
RE: SUPPORT LETTER FOR SB 1216 (CABALDON) – HOUSING

LEADERSHIP DESIGNATION PROGRAM
DATE: APRIL 21, 2026

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider approving of a letter of support for SB 1216 (Cabaldon), which establishes a Housing Leadership Designation Program to recognize jurisdictions that demonstrate strong housing production outcomes and provides associated regulatory flexibility.

DISCUSSION
SB 1216 proposes a performance-based framework that aligns State housing objectives with demonstrated local outcomes. The legislation would allow jurisdictions that successfully deliver housing units to receive increased regulatory flexibility, reducing procedural barriers and accelerating future housing production.

The City of Oroville has demonstrated measurable success in housing delivery, including exceeding its Regional Housing Needs Allocation for affordable housing and actively facilitating additional residential development. The City has also prioritized middle-income housing, securing developer commitments for approximately 250 single-family homes.

Supporting SB 1216 is consistent with the City’s ongoing efforts to:
 Increase housing supply across income levels
 Streamline permitting and development processes
 Align local performance with State housing goals
The proposed legislation reinforces a results-oriented approach and provides incentives for jurisdictions that are effectively delivering housing rather than solely meeting procedural benchmarks.
220
Item 9.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with approving the letter of support.

ACTION REQUESTED -
APPROVE THE LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR SB 1216 (CABALDON); AND

AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN AND SUBMIT THE LETTER THROUGH THE STATE’S POSITION LETTER PORTAL.

Chair, Senate Housing Committee
1021 O Street, Suite 3330
Sacramento, CA 95814
RE: Support for SB 1216 (Cabaldon): Planning and Zoning Law, Housing Leadership Designation.

On behalf of the City of Oroville, I write to express our support for SB 1216 (Cabaldon), which establishes a Housing Leadership Designation Program to recognize and reward jurisdictions that demonstrate exceptional housing production outcomes with meaningful regulatory flexibility.

We support SB 1216 because it advances a practical, outcomes-based framework that aligns state objectives with local implementation. For too long, California's housing laws have treated all jurisdictions the same, rewarding compliance on paper while paying little attention to whether homes are actually getting built. SB 1216 changes that by distinguishing jurisdictions that are delivering real results and giving them the trust and discretion they have earned.

The City of Oroville has been proactive in achieving our housing goals. We have exceeded our Regional Housing Needs Assessment goal for affordable housing by approximately 700 units, with additional developments being attracted. We have worked diligently to recruit housing for middle-income households and have succeeded in attracting a developer who has committed to developing approximately 250 single-family homes within that range.

SB 1216's performance-based approach is particularly meaningful to us because it provides an incentive structure that reinforces what effective jurisdictions are already working to accomplish: increasing housing supply while maintaining strong planning standards and community outcomes. By tying regulatory flexibility directly to demonstrated production, the bill creates a constructive pathway for local governments to reduce friction and direct resources toward housing delivery.

David Pittman
Mayor
222
Item 9.

For these reasons, the City of Oroville is pleased to support SB 1216. Thank you for your leadership in advancing solutions that recognize performance, encourage housing production, and strengthen the partnership between the State and local jurisdictions.

Sincerely,
David Pittman
Mayor

FROM: TIM KABER – DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
RE: NORTON STREET REHABILITATION PROJECT UPDATE
DATE: APRIL 21, 2026

SUMMARY
The City Council shall receive an update on the Norton Street Rehabilitation project and options for traffic flow.

DISCUSSION
The Norton Street rehabilitation project is currently in design, with construction anticipated to begin in early Fall 2026. The project limits are Montgomery Street to Bridge Street.

Improvements include pavement reconstruction, drainage improvements, road widening, on street parking, curb, gutter, and ADA curb ramp compliance.

This area has significant drainage problems that will be corrected by this project via curb and gutter and underground storm drain facilities.

The City Right of Way on Norton Street is 32 feet wide.

The traveled path must be a minimum of 20 feet wide for emergency services access.

There is currently parking available on both sides of the street.

There are minimal sidewalks in this area.

Current design provides a 10-foot travel lane and 6-foot parking strip on both sides of the street.

Parking would straddle the curb and gutter, with car wheels on a 42-inch-wide decomposed granite surface.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact. Funds have previously been allocated for the design and construction project.

ACTION REQUESTED -

PROVIDE STAFF DIRECTION ON NORTON STREET TRAFFIC FLOW AND PARKING OPTIONS.

CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: PATRICK PIATT, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
RE: RESOLUTION ACKNOWLEDGING VESTED RIGHTS OF PACIFIC

COAST PRODUCERS AS LEGALLY NON-CONFORMING
DATE: APRIL 21, 2026

SUMMARY
At the request of Pacific Coast Producers (PCP), the Council shall consider passing Resolution No. 9453 acknowledging the vested rights PCP has to legally continue operations as a legal non-conforming business.

DISCUSSION
PCP has operated its Oroville facility for several decades, establishing itself as a key component of the City’s industrial base and agricultural economy. The facility predates the City’s 2007 rezoning of the area to MXD, which was implemented broadly to provide flexibility for future mixed-use development opportunities.

Legal Nonconforming Status and Vested Rights
Under the Oroville Municipal Code, a legally established use that predates a zoning change may continue to operate as a legal nonconforming use, provided it is not discontinued beyond the allowable period (typically two years). PCP has maintained continuous operation and has not triggered any discontinuance provisions.

Additionally, under California law, vested rights attach to lawful uses that were established prior to regulatory changes. These rights protect the continuation of such uses, even when zoning designations evolve over time.

The City’s MXD zoning framework was intentionally designed to allow for a mix of uses while preserving existing lawful operations. The rezoning was not intended to extinguish or phase out established industrial uses such as PCP.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this action. 258
Item 12.

ACTION REQUESTED -
ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 9453 MEMORIALIZING THE VESTED RIGHTS OF PACIFIC

COAST PRODUCERS TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS AT ITS CURRENT LOCATION AS A

LEGAL NONCONFORMING USE CONSISTENT WITH APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE OROVILLE MUNICIPAL CODE AND CALIFORNIA LAW.

WHEREAS, as a result of this zoning change, PCP’s existing use became classified as a legal nonconforming use under the Oroville Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, the Oroville Municipal Code permits the continued operation of legal nonconforming uses, provided such uses are not discontinued for a period exceeding the time specified in the Code; and
WHEREAS, PCP has maintained continuous operation of its facility and has not discontinued its use in a manner that would result in loss of its legal nonconforming status; and
WHEREAS, under California law, property owners may acquire vested rights to continue a lawful use that was established prior to a change in zoning regulations; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that PCP possesses vested rights to continue its existing operations at its current location; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has been requested to provide clarity and certainty regarding the legal status of PCP’s operations and to memorialize its vested rights and legal nonconforming use status; and

CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN & COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CHRIS TENNS, FIRE CHIEF
RE: FIRE DEPARTMENT COST RECOVERY – MANAGING SERVICE
DEMAND
DATE: APRIL 21, 2026

SUMMARY
The City Council shall receive information and provide direction on a proposed ordinance to establish a Fire Department cost recovery program.

DISCUSSION
The Oroville Fire Department continues to see a high demand for service, including a growing number of non-emergency and preventable calls. While we are always ready to respond when help is needed, these types of calls can take time and resources away from true emergencies.

This proposed ordinance is intended to allow the city to recover costs in certain situations, such as repeated false alarms, non-emergency service requests, or incidents caused by negligence or violations. The goal is not to generate revenue, but to encourage responsible use of emergency services and help offset costs when those services are used inappropriately.

It is important to emphasize that we will not bill for true emergencies. We want the public to continue to call 911 whenever they have a real emergency, we are here to help, and that will not change. The ordinance includes clear exemptions to ensure that anyone acting in good faith during an emergency is not charged.

The Fire Chief, or designee, would have the ability to determine when billing is appropriate and may waive fees when circumstances warrant. Fees would be set through the City’s Master Fee Schedule.

FISCAL IMPACT
None

ACTION REQUESTED -
PROVIDE FEEDBACK AND DIRECTION ON THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE; AND DIRECT STAFF TO RETURN WITH LANGUAGE READY FOR A PUBLIC HEARING.

CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: JASON WINES, CHIEF OF POLICE
RE: OROVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR

INCREASED PRESENCE IN PARKS
DATE: APRIL 21, 2026

SUMMARY
The City Council shall hear recommendations from the Police Department in regard to increasing presence at City parks.

DISCUSSION
After review options to increase Oroville Police presence in the Oroville Parks, the police department makes the following requests/ recommendations:
1) One-time purchase of "Mobile Rims" and mobile computers RIMS is the record management system used to record and track calls for service and where all police reports are created. Currently RIMS reports can only be accessed at the police department, requiring officers to return to the department to complete reports. This causes excess mileage and time needed for travel.

Implementing Mobile RIMS will allow officers to access RIMS reports in the field and use specialized laptops to write reports. Officers can go to the various parks within the City to write reports, which will create multi-faceted benefits; 1) Reduce fuel used driving back and forth the Department, 2) Reduce the time it takes to go back and forth to the Department, 3) Be a presence in the parks as both a deterrent and faster response to any issues, 4) Increase proactivity without additional burdens on dispatch resources.

In addition to the one time purchase of Mobile RIMS, the Department would need to purchase computers that are mounted to the vehicles. The laptops cost between $3,500 and $5,000 each, but are built for the rigorous demands of patrol.

Working with Finance, we have identified two accounts that have sufficient funds to purchase Mobile Rims and several computers, without the need to request additional funds. 334
Item 14.
2) Purchase of additional live view cameras
The Department has placed one Flock mobile trailer in Hewitt Park and will be placing two other cameras in the park to increase evidentiary video. We have also installed video monitors in dispatch, and will be installing others in patrol and other areas of the Department to increase monitoring capabilities. We anticipate finding additional funding sources to increase video capability at all parks within the City.
3) The Department immediately implemented extra patrols in parks, focusing immediately on Hewitt Park, but increasing patrols to all parks. We plan to implement a team specific to the Downtown and park districts to include e-bike patrols, foot patrols, ATV patrols and regular patrols.

Staffing for the downtown team will consist of both sworn and non-sworn officers, working in pairs to conduct proactive patrols. The initial team will consist of School Resource Officers through the day, alternating patrols with the needs of the schools. As officer staffing increases, more officers will supplement the Downtown/ Parks unit.

The Department reviewed the potential of using additional overtime hours to maintain a presence in the parks, however we felt that was not sustainable and would offer only limited benefits to our City. We determined the use of Mobile Rims provides the greatest return on investment and does not require ongoing costs.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funds currently identified in Police Department budget to cover the costs identified.
