MEETING DATE: September 2, 2025
ITEM NO: 6.6
SUBJECT: Approve the Job Descriptions for the Fleet Services Supervisor and the Building Services Supervisor Positions, and the Corresponding Salary Schedule.

RECOMMENDATION
Motion to Approve the job descriptions for the Fleet Services Supervisor and the Building Services Supervisor positions, and the corresponding salary schedule.

BACKGROUND
Fleet Services is a unit of the Public Works Department. This group of equipment mechanics is responsible for the inspections, diagnoses, and mechanical repairs of the City’s powered automotive, heavy construction, and other power-driven equipment, and for the ongoing maintenance and repair of the City’s vehicles and apparatuses. This unit consists of an Equipment Mechanic Crew Leader, one Equipment Mechanic II, one Equipment Mechanic I, and a part-time Maintenance Worker. The Equipment Mechanics and the Crew Leader report directly to a Deputy Director of Operations. Over time, the tasks for the Crew Leader have evolved to include managing staff, inventory, procurement, and providing budget recommendations. The Equipment Mechanic Crew Leader position has been studied, and it has been determined that the duties of this position are not reflective of its current classification, and it should be reclassified to Fleet Services Supervisor.

Building Services reports directly to the Director of Community Development and is a part of the Community Development Department. Permit Technicians are an integral part of Building Services. They are responsible for administrative duties to support the unit's operations. This includes permitting processes, plan review, fee calculations, and frequent public contact with

6.6 Packet Pg. 25
homeowners, builders, engineers, developers, and architects regarding building requirements.

Building Services consists of one Permit Technician II, two Permit Technician I’s, as well as contracted Building Inspectors and a Building Official. A supervisory position is needed to provide more day-to-day guidance and authority over the team.

ANALYSIS
Fleet Services
As the City has grown in population, and commensurate city-wide staffing to support this growth, the number of City vehicles and power-driven heavy equipment to be tracked, maintained, serviced, and repaired has also increased.

Compliance and reporting are other aspects of this Fleet Services unit, both of which have also increased. This unit is responsible for California Air Resources Board (CARB), Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR), and Biennial Inspection of Terminals (BIT) reporting and ensuring that all existing vehicles and purchases comply with federal, state, and local regulations. As state mandates for zero-emission cars increase, so will the compliance and regulatory components of the Fleet Services Unit.

This overall growth in complexity has evolved into an operational need for responsibilities that are currently being performed informally without proper classification. Management of this unit requires a designated role focused on cost-effective means for ensuring safe and reliable vehicles, oversight and management of personnel tasks such as training, assignments, and evaluations, and proper handling of increasing compliance and reporting demands.

Building Services
The Building Services unit is responsible for all plan check reviews and inspections related to the City's commercial and residential construction projects. As development activity in the City of Patterson continues to grow, so does the workload and responsibilities of the Building Services team, including the Permit Technicians. Permitting services play a crucial role within the unit, supporting the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the City’s development process.

Given the anticipated increase in construction and development, adding a dedicated Permit Services Supervisor is essential to maintaining smooth and efficient operations. This position will oversee the day-to-day activities of the permit technician staff, including scheduling, reviewing work, handling more complex permitting and fee-calculating tasks, and conducting performance evaluations.

The Permit Services Supervisor will serve as a key layer of supervision between staff and the department head, providing vital leadership and guidance. This role will also ensure that permitting processes remain timely, streamlined, and comply with all applicable codes and regulations, helping the City meet the demands of ongoing growth while maintaining high service standards.

Both classifications will be a part of the Patterson Management and Mid-Management Employee Association (PMMEA).

ITEM NO: 6.7
SUBJECT: Approve Resolution No. 2025-75 approving the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

Motion to Approve Resolution No. 2025-75 approving the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report for Fiscal Year 2024- 2025.

BACKGROUND
As required by HUD, the Stanislaus County Consortium (which includes the Cities of Patterson, Oakdale, Hughson, Newman, Ceres, Waterford, and Stanislaus County) has prepared a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to document progress made in accomplishing goals set forth in the Consolidated Plan and Action Plan. The report includes the accomplishments of the individual jurisdictions participating in the Stanislaus County Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) Consortium, also known as the Stanislaus Urban County, for FY 2024-2025. Access to the entire report is available online at the following link: https://www.stancounty.com/planning/cdbg/documents/caper/2024-2025-caperdraft-updated-20250819.pdf

ANALYSIS
The Draft CAPER was made available for a 15-day review and comment period which began on August 8, 2025, and will end on September 26, 2025. As part of the CAPER citizen participation process, federal regulations require a public hearing be held to solicit comments relative to the CAPER. Local Jurisdictions are required to submit a Resolution of Concurrence for the respective CAPER. Public hearings are held by the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors. The CAPER is a report, required by HUD Entitlement Jurisdictions, on the accomplishments and

6.7 Packet Pg. 36
progress toward fulfilling the goals of the adopted Consolidated Plan (Con Plan).

The Stanislaus Urban County Consortium, consisting of the cities of Ceres, Hughson, Oakdale, Riverbank, Patterson, Newman, Waterford, and the County receives annual allocations of funds for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) activities. The Stanislaus Urban County and the City of Turlock form the Stanislaus HOME Consortium and receive an annual allocation of HOME Investment Partnership Act funds. A requirement of the program is for the administering jurisdiction (Stanislaus County) to:
1) Prepare a Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) 2) Make the CAPER available for a 15-day public review period 3) Allow any member of the public who wishes to speak on the matter 4) Submit the CAPER to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for review
The FY 2024-2025 CAPER outlines the projects that were undertaken by the Stanislaus Urban County members as well as various public service agencies that were funded. For FY 2024- 2025, the City of Patterson was allocated $178,635.75 for CDBG program activities and related administration funds for the Washburn Infrastructure project.

The CDBG program has been very effective in providing communities with resources to address a wide range of unique community development needs for low-income persons within Stanislaus County. In the City of Patterson, the program has been utilized over the last several years to provide infrastructure improvements such as: new drainage, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks in predominately low-income census tracts. These infrastructure improvements are based upon the community’s needs and priorities, as outlined in the FY 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct impact to the City General Fund. All administration costs are paid for by CDBG allocations.

SUBJECT: Approve an additional appropriation of $30,000 in the CFD 2013-01 Fund for the Baldwin Road Easement Landscape Modification project and authorize the Finance Department to make the necessary budget adjustments.

RECOMMENDATION
Motion to Approve an additional appropriation of $30,000 in the CFD 2013-01 Fund for the Baldwin Road Easement Landscape Modification project and authorize the Finance Department to make the necessary budget adjustments.

BACKGROUND
A portion of Baldwin Road lies within Community Facilities District (CFD) 2013-01. Within this area, there is a narrow landscape easement, ~1,230 feet, planted with mature trees. The existing irrigation infrastructure in this easement consists of PVC lines entangled within the tree root systems. Over time, the irrigation system has fallen into significant disrepair, making effective repair nearly impossible without removing multiple mature trees.

In similar residential settings, the city has removed individual trees to repair irrigation; however, in this case, the number and maturity of the trees make that approach infeasible. Staff has evaluated alternatives and determined that the most cost-effective and sustainable approach is to:
· Abandon the existing irrigation system within the tree easement. · Remove failing turf and replace with decomposed granite (DG), consistent with the adjacent side of Baldwin Road.

6.9 Packet Pg. 45
This solution ensures preservation of the mature trees, eliminates ongoing irrigation maintenance risks, and aligns with the City’s practice of converting narrow easements with water-demanding turf into low-maintenance, drought-tolerant landscaping.

ANALYSIS
Staff recommends that the City Council approve appropriating CFD 2013-01 funds to the FY 25/26 budget to move forward with the Baldwin Road easement landscape modification project.

This approach offers a long-term, sustainable solution that preserves the existing trees, eliminates failing irrigation systems, reduces maintenance burdens, and creates consistent landscape treatment along both sides of the easement.

Along Baldwin Road, there are two parallel landscape easements divided by the sidewalk: the east side where the mature trees are located, and the west side where turf currently exists. Since the east side turf must be removed as part of the tree irrigation abandonment, staff recommends also removing the turf on the west side and replacing it with drought-tolerant plants. This coordinated approach eliminates water-demanding turf on both sides, ensures consistency in appearance, and reduces ongoing irrigation needs.

Key considerations include:
· Infrastructure Feasibility: The existing PVC system under the trees cannot be repaired without extensive root disturbance, making abandonment the only practical solution. · Consistency: Replacing turf with decomposed granite (DG) and drought-tolerant landscaping will create uniformity across both easements and match improvements on the opposite side of Baldwin Road.
· Tree Preservation: Mature trees on the east side will remain viable · Fiscal Stewardship: While funds were not appropriated in the adopted FY 25/26 budget, sufficient capacity exists within the CFD 2013-01 fund balance to support this project.

This project aligns with City objectives of maintaining safe, sustainable, and cost-effective landscape infrastructure within CFD areas, while also advancing drought-resilient practices.

FISCAL IMPACT
This additional appropriation request is supported in full by the fund balance in the CFD 2013-01 Fund. If approved, additional appropriations will be made to the following accounts:
· $20,000 to Account 178-000-6240 (General Contract Services) · $10,000 to Account 178-000-6300 (Facility Maintenance)

ITEM NO: 7.2
SUBJECT: Approve Resolution No. 2025-74 approving the Amended and Restated Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority (CSJVRMA) Joint Powers Agreement (JPA).

RECOMMENDATION
Motion to Approve Resolution No. 2025-74 approving the Amended and Restated Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority (CSJVRMA) Joint Powers Agreement (JPA).

BACKGROUND
The City of Patterson is a member of the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority (CSJVRMA), a Joint Powers Authority (JPA), along with 53 other member agencies in the Central San Joaquin Valley. The CSJVRMA provides quality, cost-effective risk financing, and loss control services to meet the needs of its members.

The CSJVRMA staff and legal counsel are in the process of reviewing CSJVRMA governing documents to ensure they continue to reflect the CSJVRMA’s current practices, legal requirements, and operational needs. Although the current JPA, which was last amended in 1994, meets the legal requirements as set forth in the government code for Joint Powers Authorities, legal counsel for the CSJVRMA has recommended updates to the document. The CSJVRMA Executive Committee has approved these amendments, and now it requires a written resolution approved and signed by two-thirds (2/3rds) of the City Council of the member cities.

ANALYSIS
The JPA has been updated as follows:

7.2 Packet Pg. 60
· Definitional terms have been defined more clearly.
· Language has been broadened to give leeway in the event the CSJVRMA wants to consider creating or participating in a captive agency. · An addition was made pursuant to Government Code Section 6509 that was not part of the law in 1994 when CSJVRMA last amended the Agreement. The change requires JPAs to designate a member whose restrictions would apply to the operations of the JPA.

This code section was enacted to prevent a local public entity from exercising powers inconsistent with its own charter, ordinance or resolution simply by becoming a member of a JPA.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.

ATTACHMENTS
· A redline version of the Joint Powers Agreement showing the changes being made · The final version of the Joint Powers Agreement
· Resolution approving amendment to Joint Powers Agreement of the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority
