STAFF REPORT

FROM: KAYLA REASTER, ASSISTANT CITY CLERK
RE: AGREEMENT WITH CIVICPLUS SELECT FOR REQUIRED AGENDA

MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE UPDATE
DATE: AUGUST 4, 2026

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider approving an agreement with CivicPlus for their CivicPlus Select agenda management software service in the annual amount of $7,500. Current version of CivicPlus will soon no longer be supported.

DISCUSSION
The City currently utilizes CivicPlus Municode Meetings as its agenda management software for the preparation, review, publication, and archival of agendas and agenda packets for the City Council, as well as all City commissions and committees. CivicPlus has notified the City that the Municode Meetings platform will be sunset at the end of the current fiscal year and will no longer be supported.

To ensure uninterrupted agenda management services and continued compliance with the Brown Act and other public meeting requirements, staff evaluated the replacement platform offered by CivicPlus. CivicPlus Select is the company's successor management solution and provides the functionality necessary to continue the City's legislative management processes Approval of this agreement will authorize the City to migrate from CivicPlus Municode Meetings to CivicPlus Select prior to the discontinuation of the existing software. The new platform provides agenda creation, workflow management, packet assembly, legislative tracking, publication, and archival capabilities for all legislative bodies of the City, including the City Council, commissions, and committees.

Remaining within the CivicPlus software ecosystem will streamline implementation, minimize staff training, and facilitate migration of existing meeting data and historical records. Staff anticipates a smooth transition with little interruption to daily operations.

The annual subscription cost for CivicPlus Select is $7,500. Currently, we are paying $5040. Staff compared available agenda management solutions and determined that CivicPlus Select offers a significantly lower annual cost than comparable agenda management systems while continuing to provide the functionality necessary to support the City's meeting management needs. Additionally, 9 Item 1.
remaining with CivicPlus avoids the increased implementation costs, longer deployment timelines, and more extensive staff training that would likely accompany a transition to a different software provider.

FISCAL IMPACT
The annual subscription cost for CivicPlus Select is $7,500. Funding would come from within the City Clerk's operating budget.

ACTION REQUESTED -
APPROVE THE AGREEMENT WITH CIVICPLUS AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN.

STAFF REPORT
TO: VICE MAYOR SMITH & COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: MAYOR PITTMAN
RE: LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR STATE FUNDING TO RESTORE THE

STORAGE CAPACITY OF CONCOW RESERVOIR
DATE: AUGUST 4, 2026

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider approving a Letter of Support for the Thermalito Water and Sewer District who is seeking state funding to restore the storage capacity of the Concow Reservoir.

DISCUSSION
The Thermalito Water and Sewer District is seeking state funding to restore the storage capacity of Concow Reservoir, which serves as the primary drinking water source for approximately 12,200 residents.

Following the 2018 Camp Fire, significant sediment was deposited into Concow Reservoir, substantially reducing its storage capacity. This reduction has affected the long-term reliability and resilience of the District's drinking water supply. Restoration of the reservoir's capacity is intended to improve water security, strengthen emergency preparedness, and support the continued recovery of communities impacted by the Camp Fire.

The proposed letter expresses the City of Oroville's support for the project and requests that the California Legislature prioritize funding through the State budget process. Specifically, the letter highlights the project's alignment with statewide priorities, including:
 Safe and reliable drinking water;
 Wildfire recovery;
 Infrastructure resilience;
 Support for disadvantaged communities; and
 Long-term climate adaptation.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

RE: Support for Funding the Restoration of Concow Reservoir Storage Capacity Dear Chair Laird and Chair Gabriel:

I am writing to express my strong support for state funding to restore the storage capacity of the Concow Reservoir, the primary drinking water source for the Thermalito Water and Sewer District.

As a Mayor for the City of Oroville, I understand firsthand how essential reliable drinking water infrastructure is to public safety, economic opportunity, and community resilience.

The communities served by the Thermalito Water and Sewer District continue to recover from the impact of the Camp Fire. While significant progress has been made, restoring critical public infrastructure remains one of the most important investments the State can make to support long-term recovery.

The sediment deposited following the Camp Fire substantially reduced the reservoir's storage capacity, threatening long-term drinking water reliability for approximately 12,200 residents. Restoring that capacity will improve water security for the community while strengthening resilience against future emergencies.

This project advances several statewide priorities, including:
• Safe and reliable drinking water
• Wildfire recovery
• Infrastructure resilience
• Support for disadvantaged communities
• Long-term climate adaptation
David Pittman
Office of the Mayor
17 Item 2.

July 30, 2026 Page 2
“Oroville – California's best opportunity for a safe and diverse quality of life” For many rural communities, local governments simply do not have the financial capacity to undertake projects of this magnitude without state partnership. Proposition 4 provides an opportunity to make a lasting investment in safe drinking water and community resilience.

I respectfully ask that you prioritize funding for this project during this year's budget process. Ensuring safe and reliable drinking water is one of government's most fundamental responsibilities, and this investment will provide benefits to the region for decades to come.

Thank you for your consideration.

This letter was passed and adopted by the City of Oroville City Council on August 4, 2026.

Sincerely,
David Pittman

EMILY MARTIN, ADMIN ASSISTANT PLANNING DIVISION
RE: SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE 1899 AMENDING OROVILLE
MUNICIPAL CODE 17.48 WITH A NEW ENTREPRENEURFRIENDLY FEE INCENTIVE PROGRAM DATE: AUGUST 4, 2026

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider an incentive fee policy recommended by the citizen Ad Hoc Business Advocacy Committee that encourages new businesses to re-use the city’s vacant commercial spaces.

DISCUSSION
On February 18, 2025, at the request of a group of citizens, the City Council created the ad hoc Business Advocacy Committee to reduce potentially overly burdensome permit processes. The goals of the committee included improving the relationship between the city and the business community, ensuring an objective, clear and expeditious permit process, identifying permits and processes that could be made less onerous for applicants, and reducing the number of Use Permits.

The committee met several times and conducted several interviews with businesses and city staff to gather information. The committee’s recommendations for Zoning code changes and staff responses were presented to the City Council on April 7 th
and 24th 2026. At that time the recommendations did not include a new entrepreneurfriendly fee structure. The committee requested that the entrepreneur-friendly fee structure be presented now to align with the Master Fee Schedule Update.

The committee recommends establishing an entrepreneur-friendly fee incentive program to encourage new retail, service, restaurant, and lodging businesses to occupy vacant commercial spaces within the city. Under the proposed program, qualifying businesses establishing in a commercial space that has been vacant for at least six months would receive a reduced Administrative Permit fee of $50 (currently $463) or a 19 Item 3.
reduced Minor Use Permit fee of $500 (currently $3,729). The City's standard six percent (6%) Technology Cost Recovery Fee would continue to apply.

The proposed incentive would apply only to new businesses operating from a single location within the City and would remain in effect for two years, until June 30, 2028, unless extended by the City Council.

The committee believes reducing the initial cost of establishing a business will encourage the reuse of vacant commercial storefronts, support local entrepreneurship, and stimulate investment in existing commercial corridors.

This fee change ordinance is not a project under CEQA.

FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of the ordinance will reduce revenue collected from qualifying Administrative Permit and Minor Use Permit applications. Because the program applies only to businesses occupying commercial spaces that have been vacant for at least six months, staff anticipate a limited number of qualifying applications and, therefore, a minimal impact on permit revenue. Increased business activity may also generate additional sales tax and, where applicable, transient occupancy tax revenue, which could partially offset the reduction in permit fee revenue.

ACTION REQUESTED -
ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 1899 AMENDING SECTION 17.48 OF THE OROVILLE

MUNICIPAL CODE FOR THE ADOPTION OF ENTREPRENEUR-FRIENDLY FEES.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL ADDING SECTION 17.48.110 OF THE OROVILLE

MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING AN ENTREPRENEUR-FRIENDLY FEE INCENTIVE PROGRAM TO ENCOURAGE THE REUSE OF VACANT COMMERCIAL SPACES.

WHEREAS, the City Council finds that vacant commercial storefronts negatively impact economic vitality, neighborhood character, and sales tax generation within the City; and WHEREAS, encouraging new businesses to occupy existing vacant commercial spaces promotes economic development, revitalization of commercial districts, increased employment opportunities, and additional sales and transient occupancy tax revenues; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that reducing the cost of certain permits for qualifying businesses will encourage investment in vacant commercial properties while maintaining appropriate regulatory review; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to establish a temporary incentive program to encourage entrepreneurs and small businesses to locate within the City of Oroville; and WHEREAS, this ordinance was introduced and read for the first time at a regular meeting of the Oroville City Council held on July 21, 2026; and this ordinance was read for the second time at a regular meeting held on August 18, 2026.

WHEREAS, this ordinance has been determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the Common Sense Exemption, because it can be seen with certainty that adoption of this ordinance will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable physical change in the environment.

NOW, THEREFORE, THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OROVILLE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1: Purpose.

The City Council hereby finds and determines that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein. The City Council further finds that this ordinance promotes the public health, safety, and welfare by encouraging the productive reuse of existing vacant commercial properties, reducing commercial vacancies, stimulating private investment, supporting local entrepreneurship, expanding employment opportunities, increasing economic activity, and strengthening the City's tax base, while maintaining appropriate regulatory oversight through the City's permitting process.

SECTION 2: Purpose.
21 Item 3.

The purpose of this ordinance is to establish a temporary Entrepreneur-Friendly Fee Incentive Program to encourage the occupancy and reuse of vacant commercial and mixed-use buildings by new retail, service, restaurant, and lodging businesses.

SECTION 3: Addition to Chapter 17.48.

Chapter 17.48.110 of the Oroville Municipal Code is hereby added to read as follows:

17.48.110 Entrepreneur-Friendly Fee Incentive Program

Formal Public Comment Submission
TO: Oroville City Clerk & Members of the Oroville City Council FROM: The Dioxin Education Committee (DEC)
DATE: July 20, 2026
SUBJECT: URGENT PUBLIC INQUIRY – Item Regarding OroVerde Energy Initiative Update (Agenda Packet Pages 194–195) for the July 21, 2026 City Council Meeting Dear City Clerk, Mayor, and Council Members,
The Dioxin Education Committee (DEC) is writing to formally request immediate public clarification regarding the "OroVerde Energy Initiative Update" scheduled for discussion at tomorrow's City Council meeting on Tuesday, July 21, 2026.

According to the staff summary on pages 194 and 195 of the official agenda packet:
"Staff has identified an alternative path that may support economic development through the delivery of off-grid energy systems serving new greenfield development (new development/project). Staff is currently working with an energy provider and project developer to further evaluate this concept."
While we acknowledge NewGen Solutions’ conclusion that a traditional parallel grid utility model is financially unfeasible, the pivot to an un-mapped "off-grid" system serving new greenfield developments raises critical regulatory, environmental, and public safety questions that must be addressed transparently before the City moves forward.

On behalf of the public interest and regional environmental safety, the DEC formally requests that City Staff and Council explicitly answer the following questions during tomorrow’s presentation:

1. Identity of Private Entities: Who is the unnamed "energy provider" and who is the "project developer" currently collaborating with City staff on this alternative off-grid framework?

2. Technological Specifications: What specific technology will be utilized to generate power for these off-grid systems? Does this plan involve high-heat thermal processing, biomass gasification, or chemical thermolysis systems similar to other proposed projects in the South Oroville industrial corridor?

3. Site Location: Which specific "greenfield developments" or undeveloped parcels are currently being evaluated to host these off-grid energy systems?

4. Environmental Oversight: Will these off-grid systems bypass traditional regional infrastructure reviews, and how will the City ensure strict compliance with the Environmental Justice policies mandated by the Butte County General Plan 2040?
69 Item 4.

The citizens of Oroville have a right to full transparency regarding public utility partnerships, particularly when they involve localized energy generation infrastructure. We request that this inquiry be read into the official record and explicitly addressed by staff during the OroVerde update presentation.

Thank you for your time and your commitment to transparent governance.

Sincerely,
The Dioxin Education Committee (DEC)
Oroville, CA

CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CHRIS TENNS, FIRE CHIEF
RE: AGREEMENT WITH RESTORATION MANAGEMENT COMPANY FOR

FIRE STATION KITCHEN REMODEL
DATE: AUGUST 4, 2026

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider an agreement with Restoration Management Company (RMC) for the renovation of the Oroville Fire Station kitchen, not to exceed $111,421.08

DISCUSSION
On April 7, 2026, the City Council approved a capital improvement project to renovate the Fire Station kitchen by replacing the original cabinetry installed in the 1980s, upgrading the countertops, and replacing the worn laminate flooring installed in approximately 2011. The original project budget was established at $60,000. After obtaining contractor proposals from the City CUPCCAA list, the lowest responsive quote submitted by Restoration Management Company totaled $101,291.89.

Due to the higher-than-anticipated construction costs, the City Council subsequently approved an additional appropriation of $41,291.89, bringing the total authorized project budget to $101,291.89. Staff now requests authorization for the mayor to execute the construction agreement. In addition, staff requests approval of a 10% contingency in the amount of $10,129.19, bringing the total project authorization to $111,421.08.

The Oroville Fire Station kitchen is used every day by on duty firefighters and serves as an important workspace. The existing cabinets were installed in the 1980s and have reached the end of their useful life. The laminated flooring, installed around 2011, is also showing significant wear. Renovating the kitchen will improve safety, functionality, and provide a more durable workspace for Fire Department personnel.

The project includes:
 Removal and replacement of the original kitchen cabinets. 95 Item 6.
 Installation of new countertops.
 Removal and replacement of the existing laminate flooring.  Associated construction and finish work necessary to complete the remodel.

Restoration Management company submitted the lowest responsive proposal in the amount of $101,291.89. Staff has reviewed the proposal and found the pricing to be fair and consistent with the work being completed. Approval of the agreement will allow project to move forward as planned.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this project is available through the approved Capital Improvement Project Budget. With the additional of the 10% contingency, the total project authorization will be $111,421.08.

The following are also "insureds":
a. Any "employee" of yours is an "insured" while using a covered "auto" you don't own, hire or borrow for acts performed within the scope of employment by you.

Where and to the extent permitted by law, any person(s) or organization(s) where required by written contract or written agreement with you executed prior to any "accident", including those person(s) or organization(s) directing your work pursuant to such written contract or written agreement with you, provided the "accident" arises out of operations governed by such contract or agreement and only up to the limits required in the written contract or written agreement, or the Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations, whichever is less.

2. The following is added to the Other Insurance Condition in the Business Auto Coverage Form and the Other Insurance - Primary and Excess Insurance Provisions Condition in the Motor Carrier Coverage Form:

FOLLOW FORM EXCESS LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM
Various provisions in this policy restrict coverage. Read the entire policy carefully to determine rights, duties and what is and is not covered.

Throughout this policy the words "you" and "your" refer to the Named Insured shown in the Declarations, and any other person or organization qualifying as a Named Insured under this policy. The words "we", "us" and "our" refer to the company providing this insurance. The word "insured" means any person or organization qualifying as such under the controlling underlying insurance. Other words and phrases that appear in bold in this Coverage Form have special meaning. Refer to Section IV - Definitions.

Other words and phrases that are not defined under this Coverage Form but defined in the controlling underlying insurance will have the meaning described in the policy of controlling underlying insurance. This policy is subject to the same representations and warranties as are contained in the application for any controlling underlying insurance, and the insurance provided under this Coverage Form will follow the same terms, conditions, agreements, exclusions, definitions and limitations that are contained in the applicable controlling underlying insurance, unless otherwise directed by this insurance. To the extent such provisions differ or conflict, the provisions of this Coverage Form will apply. However, the coverage provided under this Coverage Form will not be broader than that provided by the applicable controlling underlying insurance. There may be more than one controlling underlying insurance listed in the Declarations and provisions in those policies conflict, and which are not superseded by the provisions of this Coverage Form. In such a case, the terms, conditions, agreements, exclusions, definitions and limitations of the controlling underlying insurance applicable to the particular event for which a claim is made or suit is brought will apply.

SECTION I - COVERAGES

1. Insuring Agreement
a. We will pay on behalf of the insured the ultimate net loss in excess of the retained limit for injury or damage to which insurance provided under this Coverage Form applies, however, coverage under this policy will not be available unless and until the full amount of all controlling underlying insurance has been exhausted by the actual payment by the controlling underlying insurer of the applicable retained limit as shown in the Schedule of Controlling Underlying Insurance. Where the controlling underlying insurance has the duty to defend, we will have the right and duty to defend the insured against any suit seeking damages for such injury or damage under this Coverage Form when the applicable limits of controlling underlying insurance have been exhausted through the payment of the underlying limits in full in accordance with the provisions of such controlling underlying insurance. When we have no duty to defend, we will have the right to defend, or to participate in the defense of, the insured against any other suit seeking damages for injury or damage. However, we will have no duty to defend the insured against any suit seeking damages for which insurance under this policy does not apply.

At our discretion, we may investigate any event that may involve this insurance and settle any resultant claim or suit, for which we have the duty to defend.

But:
(1) The amount we will pay for ultimate net loss is limited as described in Section II - Limits Of Insurance; and (2) Our right and duty to defend ends when we have used up the applicable limit of insurance in the payment of defense costs, judgments or settlements under this Coverage Form. b. This insurance applies to injury or damage that is subject to an applicable retained limit. If any other limit, such as a sublimit, is specified in the controlling underlying insurance, this insurance does not apply to injury or damage arising out of that exposure unless that limit is specified in the Declarations under the Schedule of Controlling Underlying Insurance.

Furthermore, if any controlling underlying insurance shown in the Schedule of Controlling Underlying Insurance 132
Item 6.

FFX 8000 12 25 Includes copyrighted material of Insurance Services Office, Inc., used with its permission. Page 2 of 7 (SCHEDULE) attached hereto has a limit of liability:
(1) Greater than the amount shown in such Schedule of Controlling Underlying Insurance, then this policy will apply in excess of the greater amount; or
(2) Less than the amount shown in such Schedule of Controlling Underlying Insurance, then this policy will apply in excess of the amount shown in such Schedule of Controlling Underlying Insurance. c. (1) If the controlling underlying insurance requires, for a particular claim, that the injury or damage occur during its policy period in order for that coverage to apply, then this insurance will only apply to that injury or damage if it occurs during the policy period of this Coverage Form. If the controlling underlying insurance requires that the event causing the particular injury or damage takes place during its policy period in order for that coverage to apply, then this insurance will apply to the claim only if the event causing that injury or damage takes place during the policy period of this Coverage Form. (2) If any controlling underlying insurance is written on a claims-made or discovery basis, the following applies to the insurance provided by this Coverage Form which is excess over that underlying insurance:

If the controlling underlying insurance requires, for a particular claim, that the injury or damage occur on or after the Retroactive Date shown in the Declarations of that insurance in order for that coverage to apply, then this insurance will only apply to that injury or damage which occurs on or after the Retroactive Date shown in the controlling underlying insurance but before the end of the policy period of this Coverage Form. If the controlling underlying insurance requires, for a particular claim, that the event causing the particular injury or damage takes place on or after the Retroactive Date shown in the Declarations of that insurance in order for that coverage to apply, then this insurance will apply to the claim only if the event causing that injury or damage takes place on or after the Retroactive Date shown in the controlling underlying insurance but before the end of the policy period of this Coverage Form.

A claim for damages for such injury or damage must be first made against the insured during this policy period or any extended reporting period provided under this Coverage Form. A claim will be considered first made under this Coverage Form:
(1) When notice of such claim is received and recorded by any insured or by us, whichever comes first, if the controlling underlying insurance is written on a claims-made and recorded basis; or (2) When notice of such claim, after being received by any insured, is reported to us in writing, if the controlling underlying insurance is written on any other claims-made basis. d. Any additional insured under any policy of controlling underlying insurance will automatically be an additional insured under this insurance, but only to the extent consistent with the Construction Anti-indemnity Statute(s) held in the applicable jurisdiction. If coverage provided to the additional insured is required by a contract or agreement, the most we will pay on behalf of the additional insured is the lesser of the amount of insurance required by the contract or agreement, or the Each Occurrence Limit of this policy, less any amounts payable by any controlling underlying insurance. Additional insured coverage provided by this insurance will not be broader than coverage provided by the controlling underlying insurance. 2. Exclusions
The following exclusions, and any other exclusions added by endorsement, apply to this Coverage Form. In addition, the exclusions applicable to any controlling underlying insurance apply to this insurance unless superseded by the following exclusions, or superseded by any other exclusions added by endorsement to this Coverage Form.

Insurance provided under this Coverage Form does not apply to Injury or damage, costs and expenses, because of, caused by or arising out of, either directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by:

However, this Aggregate Limit only applies to injury or damage that is subject to an aggregate limit of insurance under the controlling underlying insurance. c. Subject to Paragraph 2.b. above, the Each Occurrence Limit is the most we will pay for all ultimate net loss including defense costs under this insurance for all injury or damage arising out of any one event. Defense costs are part of, and not in addition to, the limits of insurance, and the payment of defense costs reduces the limits of insurance.

3.

Any controlling underlying insurance must be maintained in full effect without reduction of coverage or limits except for the reduction of aggregate limits in accordance with the provisions of such controlling underlying insurance that results from injury or damage to which this insurance applies.

Such exhaustion or reduction is not a failure to maintain controlling underlying insurance. The Insured, not the Insurer, will bear the risk that any controlling underlying insurance is or may be uncollectible.

This Coverage Form will not drop down for any reason, including, but not limited to, the uncollectibility (in whole or in part) of the controlling underlying insurance, even if such uncollectibility is due to the financial impairment or insolvency of the issuer of any controlling underlying insurance. Coverage under this policy will not be available unless and until all controlling underlying insurance has been exhausted by the actual payment by the controlling underlying insurer of the applicable retained limit as shown in the Schedule of Controlling Underlying Insurance.

The first Named Insured must notify us in writing with full particulars as soon as practicable in the event:
a. Any controlling underlying insurance is cancelled, not renewed, replaced or otherwise terminated; b. The limits or scope of coverage of any controlling underlying insurance is changed; c. The aggregate limits of liability of any controlling underlying insurance become exhausted; d. Any controlling underlying insurance is not maintained in full effect during the policy period; or e.

When this insurance is excess, if no other insurer defends, we may undertake to do so, but we will be entitled to the insured's rights against all those other insurers.
b. When this insurance is excess over other insurance, we will pay only our share of the ultimate net loss that exceeds:
(1) The total amount that all such other insurance would pay for the loss in the absence of the insurance provided under this Coverage Form; plus
(2) The total of all deductible and self-insured amounts under all that other insurance.

9. Premium Audit
a. We will compute all premiums for this Coverage Form in accordance with our rules and rates. b. If this policy is auditable, the premium shown in this Coverage Form as advance premium is a deposit premium only. At the close of each audit period, we will compute the earned premium for that period and send notice to the first Named Insured. The due date for audit premium is the date shown as the due date on the bill. If the sum of the advance and audit premiums paid for the policy period is greater than the earned premium, we will return the excess to the first Named Insured.
c. The first Named Insured must keep records of the information we need for premium computation, and send us copies at such times as we may request.

10. Loss Payable
Liability under this Coverage Form does not apply to a given claim unless and until:

The full amount of the applicable retained limit described in a. above has been exhausted as a result of actual payment made in full by a controlling underlying insurer; and c. The obligation of the insured to pay the ultimate net loss in excess of the retained limit has been determined by a final settlement or judgment or written agreement among the insured, claimant, controlling underlying insurer (or a representative of one or more of these) and us, and first-party claim amount that we, at our sole discretion, agree in writing to be necessary and reasonable.

CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: TIM KABER – DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
RE: PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT FOR SOFTWARE, INSPECTION

EQUIPMENT, AND DEFECT GRADING WITH GRANITENET
DATE: AUGUST 4, 2026

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider approving an agreement with GraniteNet for underground infrastructure inspection equipment, sewer inspection, and defect grading services.

DISCUSSION
The Public Works Department Sewer Division aims to enhance the inspection capabilities and maintenance of the City’s sewer system in order to comply with findings from the 2024 State Water Resources Control Board sanitary sewer system inspection. The State found that the City was in violation of Statewide Water Discharge Requirements in that the City did not have a defect grading system for sewer pipes. The first corrective step was to adopt an updated Sewer System Mater Plan, which was completed on April 21, 2026. The next step is to perform defect grading on the City sewer mains with properly qualified personnel.

The State inspection findings require National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) certified personnel to grade pipe defects. There is currently no one on staff NASSCO certified.

The current vendor for sewer inspections is Granite. This service does not include NASSCO defect identification or grading. Sewer Division staff is recommending upgrading our current Granite sewer support to GraniteNet, which is the updated version of Granite software, and is capable of performing NASSCO inspection and grading of sewer mains. This service will also include inspection and grading of sewer lift stations and manholes, which is a current blind spot for the Sewer Division. This service will charge $0.34/foot of inspected and graded sewer main.

The City averages roughly 10 miles of sewer main inspection per year, which would be a cost of approximately $18,000/year for graded sewer mains.

FISCAL IMPACT
The first year cost for upgrading the software and infrastructure package is $58,613.00. This includes robust onsite training for the sewer division staff and inspection equipment. Follow-on 146
Item 7.
years will be approximately $32,000/year, which includes software licensing for the inspection vehicles and defect coding.

Each year would also have an approximate cost of $18,000 for sewer main grading.

Funds will come from the Sewer Fund.

ACTION REQUESTED -

APPROVE THE AGREEMENT WITH GRANITENET AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN.

5.2. Provider Confidential Information specifically includes, but is not limited to: Documentation, GNET Cloud Materials, Usage Observations, and suggestions concerning the GNET Cloud Service, or any other information about or involving the GNET Cloud Service.

Each Party will be responsible for any improper disclosure of Confidential Information by such Party’s employees, agents, or contractors.

5.5. Recipient may disclose Confidential Information of Discloser to the extent required to satisfy any legal requirement of a competent governmental or regulatory authority, provided that (to the extent permitted by law) it promptly advises Discloser prior to making such disclosure and 153

10.13.1. Good Faith Negotiation –The parties agree to engage in good faith efforts to settle any Disputes (hereinafter “Dispute”) by negotiations between them prior to engaging in arbitration. Such negotiations are to include, at a minimum, (a) written notice by the party asserting a Dispute describing in detail the legal, evidentiary, and business bases of the Dispute and any proposed remedy or solution; (b) a written response to such notice describing in detail the receiving party's disagreements, if any, with the sending party's description of the bases of the Dispute and proposed remedy or solution; and (c) one or more discussions between executives with authority to resolve the Dispute. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties in writing, the period for negotiation will be deemed ended forty-five (45) days after receipt of the initial written notice.

10.13.2. Arbitration. The parties agree to first utilize good faith efforts to resolve any Dispute informally between the parties in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.13 of this Agreement.

GraniteNet Cloud SaaS WebOffice/Inspect
The GraniteNet SAAS Cloud Hosting Service, powered by Amazon Web Services, is a complete solution provided by CUES to enable each organization to transform their on-premise infrastructure to the Cloud to build an effective business and technology strategy. CUES, as an Amazon Technology Partner, provides a turnkey solution comprised of Wastewater/Public Works asset management software - and hosting - that can be implemented by CUES cloud specialists in amazingly fast turnaround times. The GraniteNet SAAS Cloud Service is offered as a one year contract which includes by default a dedicated virtual database server, a web server, a 8 TB storage volume for inspection media, a 1 TB monthly data download capacity from the Cloud, and access for 1 administrative Permitted User. Increased Permitted Users, storage capacity or monthly download capacities can be added for an additional annual cost as needed. CUES Cloud customers immediately gain access to and redundancy from the AWS infrastructure that CUES configures for its Cloud customers including back-ups, server patch maintenance and OS upgrades. CUES and AWS are responsible for protecting the infrastructure that runs all of the services offered in the AWS Cloud, commonly referred to as “Security of the Cloud”. GraniteNet’s Web applications are secured via Amazon Security Groups and an Amazon Web Application Firewall (WAF). The GraniteNet SAAS Cloud Service will substantially carry forward AWS’ standard service level commitment policies published online. The service is subject to the acceptance of the terms and conditions of the GraniteNet Software Cloud Service Subscription Agreement (a separate contract) which is renewable annually through a contract extension.

The complete Cloud Hosting service also includes the GraniteNet WebOffice (Viewer) solution which is a browser-based, read only Web Application built for assessing infrastructure, videos and statuses about assets from virtually any portable device (iPad, Android, Chrome Book, Surface Pro, smart phone, etc.) with an internet connection. It streamlines operations by enabling real time, mapdriven views into the condition of utility infrastructure as well as the status of tasks assigned to crews for greater efficiency and CUES,INC. | 3600 Rio Vista Avenue | Orlando,FL 32805 | 800.327.7791 | cuesinc.com 163
Item 7.
productivity. No software needs to be installed by end users. Simply log in and view productivity dashboards, review inspections, run filtered reports, and generate PDF’s to share to others from virtually any internet-connected device.

By default the Cloud SAAS service also provides GraniteNet WebSync which is a powerful connectivity tool that enables entities with vehicular field crews to use encrypted internet connectivity to transmit inspection data and video from the field (such as trucks, mobile inspectors, etc.) wirelessly to the Cloud SAAS. There’s no need for carrying storage drives. Inspectors simply finish their inspection and the transfer will begin automatically in the background while new inspections are started or while crews move to the next location.

Unlike some inferior methods being used by others, WebSync is unique in that it truly synchronizes data instead of merely making a copy of a file at a location such as Drop Box or Google Docs - which requires a manual two-step process susceptible to human error. Whether synching out new, incomplete inspection tasks to the field trucks from WebOffice or synching in data from the field to the Cloud, WebSync happens at the database level to ensure precise, up-to-the-minute statuses that do not require human intervention. Additionally with growing cyber threats, many organizations can no longer afford to risk intrusions that can happen when portable media devices are connected to the network. WebSync is highly secure because it uses Web API’s that provide Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security that can be encrypted. Data exchange happens quickly so that QA/QC reviewers do not have to wait for inspectors to physically return with storage drives.

GraniteNet WebInspect is a browser-based inspection application that provides subscribed users with out-of-the-box capability to perform inspections such as manhole inspections, including MACP v7 Level 1, assess and complete field tasks such as cleaning & jetting (*hydrants, lift stations, etc.), and collect GPS coordinates – virtually anything about municipal assets from virtually any connected device such as a mobile phone or tablet. Task/Inspection attributes, and status information are updated in real time so a Supervisor in the office can track the progress of tasks completed and “see” color coded maps in WebOffice when crews have finished their work. Additional custom tasks can also be added to WebInspect for an additional cost. There’s no software to install on any user devices to use GraniteNet WebInspect.

DCAAS Implementation
DCAAS Terms and disclosures https://dcaasterms.granitenetweb.com GraniteNet Web Server Implementation
The GraniteNet Web Server Implementation Includes the following provided by a CUES Web Software Implementation Specialist:
• Dedicated project management for installation and configuration of Web Server • Remote web sessions to plan, execute, and test implementation of Web Server into GraniteNet Office Environment and GIS maps (if available)
• Office training and access to follow-up sessions as needed Before a CUES technical resource is assigned to the implementation project, a Pre-Implementation Checklist must be completed by the client and submitted to CUES. Once it is received by CUES and verified that all prerequisites are met to begin the work, the client’s Implementation Service request will be placed into a queue where CUES will assign the appropriate implementation specialist Project Manager based on the order in which the Checklist was received. Due to the fluctuating availability of resources needed by both parties to complete the implementation, the actual start date for the project may vary.

For each business day the implementation extends beyond the Readiness Date due to the Organization’s failure to complete its key tasks or other Organization delays impacting the implementation, a “Time Extension Fee” will be applied on the 46th business day following the Organization’s readiness date in the amount of fifty dollars ($50) per business day, invoiced monthly, until the implementation is completed.

GraniteNet WebSync Module
The GraniteNet WebSync Module allows users to transfer encrypted inspection data, asset information, and media, via the internet, back and forth between a GraniteNet license in the field and the office.

GraniteNet ESRI Implementation
The implementation service of ESRI maps and map data within CCTV operations includes integration consultation, documentation, and training with the client’s office staff by a CUES software division implementation specialist in accordance with the unique business requirements of the organization. An ESRI Implementation service with GraniteNet is required for any organization that has not defined, or has changed, their GIS mapping profiles which allow for the seamless import and export of GIS data. CUES shall provide integration consultation, documentation, and training with the client’s office staff through a series of guided instruction sessions performed via a remote virtual meeting tool called Zoom. CUES will work with an appointed resource/project CUES,INC. | 3600 Rio Vista Avenue | Orlando,FL 32805 | 800.327.7791 | cuesinc.com 165

manager from the organization to define the goals and then collaboratively create the standard operating procedures desired by the organization. As a best practice, initiating the Implementation Service well in advance of receiving a vehicle/field equipment is critical to ensure a smooth deployment, often with basic field training, that leverages the integration. Before a CUES technical resource is assigned to the implementation project, a GraniteNet ESRI Pre-Implementation Checklist must be completed by the client and submitted to CUES. Once it is received by CUES and verified that all prerequisites are met to begin the work, the client’s Implementation Service request will be placed into a queue where CUES will assign the appropriate implementation specialist Project Manager based on the order in which the Checklist was received. Due to the fluctuating availability of resources needed by both parties to complete the implementation, the actual start date for the project may vary.

The Checklist requests that a “Readiness Date” be provided which means the date the customer will be ready to start the implementation work with CUES. CUES will plan its resource availability around this important date so that it can establish the date for the completion of the work which shall be within forty five (45) business days from the Organization’s readiness date. For each business day the implementation extends beyond the Readiness Date due to the Organization’s failure to complete its key tasks or other Organization delays impacting the implementation, a “Time Extension Fee” will be applied on the 46th business day following the Organization’s readiness date in the amount of fifty dollars ($50) per business day, invoiced monthly, until the implementation is completed.

EXHIBIT 2
CUES Representations about GraniteNet Cloud Security and SLA’s CUES is an Amazon Technology Partner that provides software and connectivity services on AWS.

As a customer of CUES, you (the “Subscriber”) gain access to Cloud hosted infrastructure that CUES will configure for you that will run GraniteNet software using AWS services specified within the GraniteNet Cloud service Product and Service Order. This “Representations” document is intended to be made a part of your GRANITENET SOFTWARE CLOUD SERVICE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) with CUES. It is expected that detailed technical evaluations and demonstrations have been completed previously through a customer’s internal due diligence process. Furthermore, it is understood that that you are solely responsible for limiting the sharing of your organization’s sensitive data, adhering to your organization's security requirements, and complying with all applicable laws and regulations. You are responsible for any personal data that you transmit into or out of the GraniteNet Cloud. For more detailed “Security and Data Privacy” legal information please review the relevant sections of the above referenced Agreement. The following representations shall set forth at a high level the technical safeguards that CUES implements to protect its customers’ Content within the GraniteNet Cloud.

Security and Data Protection
CUES and AWS are responsible for protecting the infrastructure that runs all of the services offered in the AWS Cloud, commonly referred to as “Security of the Cloud”. However, Security and Compliance are a shared responsibility among all of the parties who utilize the Cloud.

Cloud security is a high priority for CUES to provide to its customers. As a Technology Partner of the largest Cloud infrastructure provider in the world, GraniteNet Cloud leverages the certifications that AWS has gained for compliance with ISO/IEC 27001:2013, 27017:2015, 27018:2019, and ISO/IEC 9001:2015 and CSA STAR CCM v3.0.1.

These certifications are performed by independent third-party auditors on behalf of AWS and this widelyrecognized international security standard specifies that AWS:
• Systematically evaluates its information security risks, taking into account the impact of threats and vulnerabilities.
• Designs and implements a comprehensive suite of information security controls and other forms of risk management to address customer and architecture security risks.
• Executes an overarching management process to ensure that the information security controls meet AWS’s needs on an ongoing basis.

Certification for compliance with ISO/IEC has been achieved by AWS for the following components used in the GraniteNet Cloud:

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) AWS Backup
Amazon CloudWatch Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) Amazon Route 53
AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) 168

Page 22 ends

In addition to providing the software, infrastructure and services for the GraniteNet Cloud, CUES also implements a pre-defined set of AWS blueprints and guardrails to help CUES customers adopt Security Best Practices. The GraniteNet Cloud leverages the robust AWS toolsets noted below to govern and enforce policies and to detect violations for a comprehensive and layered security posture:

Amazon Control Tower Amazon Config
Amazon Security Hub AWS GuardDuty & Guardrails
Password Management, Authentication Controls and Encryption While CUES is responsible for providing continuous oversight over the data hosted on the infrastructure it provides, you as the customer (“Subscriber”), assume responsibility for any activities that occur under the Log-In Credentials issued to your Permitted Users by CUES (“Provider”), regardless of whether such activities are undertaken by you, your employees, agents, subcontractors, or any other third party. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy and security of the Log-In Credentials provided to you.

CUES provides you with application-level User Access Controls via the GraniteNet User Management Module to set up groups, roles and privileges for GraniteNet Permitted Users. Additionally, to access the GraniteNet Cloud, CUES shall provision Log-In access to enable Permitted Users to use the GraniteNet Cloud service that runs the GraniteNet suite of applications. You are responsible for the security of both of these separate User Account LogIns and you should never provide or share your credentials with a third party. CUES will deploy a password policy that will regularly require users to create and regularly change complex passwords.

CUES uses AWS encryption solutions by default for industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption to encrypt customer content in transit for transport layer security via web communication sessions. Additionally by default, CUES uses encryption at rest with a minimum encryption protocol of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit encryption. In addition, CUES also provides by default additional layers of protection through encryption for backups and snapshots within the GraniteNet Cloud service.

Service Commitments:

As a Technology Partner of AWS, CUES will honor and follow the service commitment policies detailed for each of the services provided within the GraniteNet Cloud service as published online by AWS for failure to meet the service commitments and hourly commitments specified. Several examples are provided below and any can be referenced online as needed.

Since Amazon AppStream 2.0 is the primary connectivity service that CUES will provide, it uses commercially reasonable efforts to make AppStream available to you with a Monthly Uptime Percentage of at least 99.9% during any monthly billing cycle. CUES will follow the policies detailed in the Amazon AppStream Service Level Agreement published online by Amazon should it fail to meet its Service Commitment. [AppStream SLA] Under the Amazon Compute Service Level Agreement for single EC2 Instances, CUES will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that each individual Amazon EC2 instance (“Single EC2 Instance”) has an Hourly Uptime Percentage of at least 90% of the time in which that Single EC2 Instance is deployed during each clock hour (the “Hourly Commitment”). In the event any Single EC2 Instance does not meet the Hourly Commitment, you will not be charged for that instance hour of Single EC2 Instance usage. [AWS EC2 SLA] Central to GraniteNet Cloud is Amazon S3, an object storage built to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere on the Internet. It’s a simple storage service that offers industry leading durability, availability, performance, security, and virtually unlimited scalability at very low costs. The S3 Standard storage class is designed for 99.99% availability, the S3 Standard-IA storage class is designed for 99.9% availability. Please refer to its SLA published online.

DATE: AUGUST 4, 2026

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

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

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

The annual Reports fulfill these minimum requirements and will be submitted at a later date. 174
Item 9.

The City Council will consider the following items for the CFDs that will:

1. Establish the annual special tax for Fiscal Year 2026/27 for the two CFDs.

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

FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are collected through the Butte County secured property tax roll and placed into a “Special Fund” account for specified expenses within the two CFDs.

CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: JASON WINES, POLICE CHIEF
RE: CREATION OF POLICE ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGER

CLASSIFICATION
DATE: AUGUST 4, 2026

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider approving the addition of a Police Administrative Manager (PAM) position and the deletion of one vacant Administrative Assistant position. Collectively, with the other deletions made during the budget process, this restructure is projected to provide approximately $250,000 in savings.

DISCUSSION
The Oroville Police Department has been undergoing a comprehensive organizational restructuring to improve operational efficiency, effectiveness, and long-term sustainability. In addition to these organizational changes, ongoing budget constraints have become a significant factor in evaluating the Department's staffing structure and resource allocation.

In January 2025, the Department had two vacant Lieutenant positions. One of these vacancies was filled in late spring 2025. However, due to a limited pool of qualified candidates and fiscal challenges, filling the remaining Lieutenant position has not been feasible. After careful evaluation, the Department has determined that, at this time, eliminating the third authorized Lieutenant position was the most prudent course of action. Eliminating the position is expected to generate an estimated annual savings of approximately $227,000. This reduction was approved as part of the 2026/27 budget.

The Police Department had previously employed two Administrative Assistants allocations. While these positions perform essential administrative functions that support daily operations, they are entry-level classifications. The Department believes there is insufficient work to justify maintaining two separate positions. Both administrative positions are vacant with one of the positions being removed as part of the 2026/27 budget. In light of the removal of one Lieutenant position, and after evaluating current workloads and organizational needs, the Department proposes eliminating the remaining Administrative Assistant position. 190
Item 10.

With the reduction of both Administrative Assistant positions and the reduction of one Lieutenant, the department has a large gap in operational ability. The Department requests, in lieu of the vacated positions, to create a singular, management level position designed to address operation and administrative tasks. The Department recommends a new classification of Police Administrative Manager (PAM) be added to the Police Department.

The proposed PAM will provide centralized oversight of the Records Division while assuming responsibility for a broad range of administrative functions, as detailed in the attached job description. In addition to performing many of the duties currently assigned to the Administrative Assistants, the PAM will assume several high-level administrative responsibilities that would otherwise fall to the vacant Lieutenant position. This restructuring will improve coordination, strengthen administrative oversight, and allow sworn personnel to remain focused on law enforcement and operational responsibilities.

Due to the scope of responsibility and level of independent decision-making required, the PAM is proposed as a management classification within the City's Management Association. The recommended salary schedule is attached for consideration.

Replacing two Administrative Assistant positions with one PAM position is projected to result in an annual savings of approximately $28,000.

Overall, this proposal reflects a balanced approach that addresses the City's current fiscal constraints while maintaining essential administrative support for Department operations. Although the Department continues to believe a third Lieutenant position is ultimately necessary to support future growth and organizational effectiveness, temporarily eliminating the position and establishing the PAM classification represents the most responsible and efficient use of City resources. As stated above, The Department recommends reevaluating the need for the third Lieutenant position within the next three to five years as staffing levels, operational demands, and financial conditions evolve.

FISCAL IMPACT
Elimination of one Police Lieutenant results in an annual savings of approximately $227,000.

Elimination of two administrative assistant positions in exchange for one Police Administrative Manager position will result in annual savings of approximately $28,000; for an overall annual savings of approximately $255,000. 191
Item 10.

1. DELETE REMAINING ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT ALLOCATION (OTHER REMOVED THROUGH BUDGET APPROVAL 7-7-26); AND

Oroville, CA 95965
by Email: [email protected]
Comment and objection submitted to the Oroville City Council at its regular meeting of July 21, 2026, for consideration on its Agenda Item No. 13, entitled "UPDATE OF USER AND
REGULATORY FEES" AND "Resolution No. 9477 Adjusting and Establishing User and Regulatory Fees" insofar as this item purports to increase or establish new rates for "Sewer
Connection Impact Fees" and "Monthly Sewer Service Rates" for Multi-Family Units (apartments) rates in conflict with the unamended Oroville Municipal Code §13.04.040 (Connection Fees) and §13.04.090 (Rates & Charges).

To the honorable City Council of the City of Oroville:

I represent K&M Butte Developers, LLC -- the developers of at least 299 Multi-Family Units (MFUs) of affordable housing in the City of Oroville.

Please refer to my previous correspondence of July 7, 2026 on behalf of K&M Developers, LLC objecting to your proposed amendment of your Municipal Code §13,04.040; that correspondence and materials outline why the City's proposed "Sewer Connection Impact" fees and "Monthly Rates" for MFUs are substantively illegally excessive and untenable. However, you are now compounding the problem by attempting to approve by resolution a Master Fee Schedule that includes the increased rates before you have even voted on an amendment of your Municipal Code.

It is clearly established law that "A city cannot adopt a resolution that is in conflict with an existing city ordinance. Because there is a substantive legal difference between a resolution and an ordinance, a resolution is not 231

2 the legal equivalent of an ordinance and cannot be used to amend, supersede, or conflict with a validly enacted municipal ordinance." San Diego City Firefighters, Local 145 v. Bd. of Admin. of San Diego City Emples. Ret. Sys., 206 Cal. App. 4th 594 (2012), Pinewood Investors v.

City of Oxnard, 133 Cal. App. 3d 1030 (1982).

Copies of pages 22 and 33 from your proposed Master Fee Schedule (agenda package pp. 377 and 388) are attached and show, respectively, the Sewer Connection Impact fee and the Monthly Sewer Rates. The Fees and Rates listed are in conflict with the existing unamended Municipal Code. Furthermore, neither the Fees nor Rates pages show different reduced rates for MFUs as compared to Single Family Homes (SFHs), regardless of whether the City intends to reduce rates for MFUs in any amount based on reduced flows from MFUs. On its face your charges for connections and monthly rates are the same for MFUs and SFHs.

When your rates and charges are --as here-- the product of your ordinances, inconsistent resolutions are invalid and have no effect. You should remove the sewerage connection impact charges and the monthly charges from this resolution, while the rest of the charges may pass. Lets have an honest debate about the legality and amount of your connection charges monthly rates through the ordinance process as required.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Very truly yours,
