Item 6.8 – Resolution No. 2026-31: Authorizing the Appropriation and Transfer of Funds from the Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee Fund was pulled for discussion.

Ms. Weyhrauch questioned how a payment of approximately $200,000 had been made from the wrong fund.

City Manager Ulloa explained that an approved Memorandum of Understanding with Self Help for Affordable Housing had authorized a reimbursement, but the payment was inadvertently drawn from the General Fund rather than the designated affordable housing fund. Staff identified the error, verified with legal counsel that all proper channels were followed, and confirmed that the affordable housing funds remain intact. The action before the Council was to correct the appropriation.

Ms. Weyhrauch expressed satisfaction with the explanation and requested clearer language on future consent calendar items of this nature.

WHEREAS, such shortfall sites and prior identified sites are subject to the applicable provisions of Government Code Section 65583.2(c), (h), and (i), which require that sites be made available at appropriate densities and permitted for residential development by right under specified conditions to ensure the City can accommodate its RHNA; and WHEREAS, the following parcels are identified as shortfall sites intended to address a shortfall of lower-income housing capacity and subject to rezoning pursuant to Government Code Section 65583.2:
• 154 Poppy Avenue (APN 048-042-001): amendment of the zoning designation from General Commercial (GC) to High-Density Residential (HR); Packet Pg. 38

WHEREAS, to ensure compliance with Government Code Section 65583.2 subdivisions (c), (h), and (i) applicable to shortfall sites, this Ordinance establishes certain development standards which shall apply only to the parcels identified below that allow mixed-use development:
• APN 048-048-007 (Downtown Core)

Packet Pg. 39
WHEREAS, APN 047-034-035 is not subject to any zoning map amendment under this Ordinance, and the City finds that the existing High Density Residential zoning applicable to this site permits residential uses at densities appropriate to accommodate lower-income housing and is therefore sufficient to satisfy the requirements of Government Code Section 65583.2(c); and WHEREAS, the City affirms that both prior identified sites are suitable and available for residential development consistent with applicable zoning and State Housing Element law; and WHEREAS, consistent with Government Code Section 65583.2, all shortfall sites and prior identified sites addressed in this Ordinance shall permit by-right residential development, including multi-family residential development, for projects in which at least 20 percent of the units are affordable to lower-income households and subject to an affordability agreement; and WHEREAS, for purposes of this Ordinance, “by-right” development means that the project shall not require a conditional use permit, planned unit development permit, discretionary design review, or any other discretionary approval that would constitute a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and shall instead be subject only to objective zoning, subdivision, and design standards; and
WHEREAS, nothing in this Ordinance shall be construed to supersede applicable provisions of the Subdivision Map Act or local ordinance except as necessary to comply with Government Code Section 65583.2(i); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Patterson conducted a duly noticed public hearing on April 23, 2026, and recommended approval of the proposed zoning map amendments and associated development standards; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Patterson conducted a duly noticed public hearing on May 19, 2026, and received the staff report and presentation, considered the recommendation of the Planning Commission and all oral and written testimony, and discussed the matter; and WHEREAS, the City has evaluated the potential environmental impacts of the proposed zoning map amendments and development provisions and determined that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) and further pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.085, which exempts rezoning actions that implement a jurisdiction’s Housing Element; and WHEREAS, based on its review and consideration of the staff report, applicable General Plan and Housing Element documents, and oral and written testimony presented, the City Council finds as follows:

1. The proposed zoning map amendments and associated development standards are consistent with the goals, policies, and implementation programs of the General Plan and Housing Element.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: Mayor Clauzel and Members of the City Council
FROM: Fernando Ulloa, City Manager
BY: Aracely Alegre, City Clerk
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2026
ITEM NO: 7.1
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2026-31 approving the City of Patterson Technology Disruption Policy for Remote Public Participation During City Council Meetings.

RECOMMENDATION
Motion to Adopt Resolution No. 2026-31 approving the City of Patterson Technology Disruption Policy for Remote Public Participation During City Council Meetings.

BACKGROUND
On October 3, 2025, Senate Bill 707 (“SB 707”) was signed by Governor Gavin Newsom and amended various provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act related to remote public participation during public meetings. SB 707 was intended to modernize Brown Act procedures in response to technological advancements and to promote increased public engagement in local government meetings.

SB 707 establishes new procedures and requirements related to disruptions in telephone or internet services used to provide remote public participation during meetings. These provisions include requirements related to recessing meetings, restoration efforts, findings, and recordkeeping during technology disruptions.

Many of the mandatory provisions established under SB 707 apply specifically to “eligible legislative bodies,” which generally include city councils in cities with populations of 30,000 or more, city councils located within counties with populations of 600,000 or more, county boards of supervisors, and certain large special districts.

The City of Patterson is not currently subject to the mandatory provisions of SB 707 due to its population threshold. However, the City Council routinely provides two-way remote public participation during City Council meetings through telephonic and internet-based platforms.

Staff is recommending adoption of the proposed Technology Disruption Policy to voluntarily Packet Pg. 44
establish clear and consistent procedures in the event remote public access services are interrupted during a meeting.

The proposed policy establishes procedures for responding to disruptions in telephone or internet services used to provide two-way remote public participation during City Council meetings to ensure consistent, fair, and transparent handling of technology disruptions.

Under the policy, if a disruption occurs that materially prevents members of the public from attending or observing a meeting remotely, the Presiding Officer would announce the disruption, recess the meeting as appropriate, and direct staff to make good-faith efforts to restore services.

The policy also outlines restoration efforts that may include troubleshooting meeting platforms, resetting audiovisual equipment, utilizing backup systems, or contacting technical support providers.

If services are restored, the meeting would resume as normal. If services cannot be restored within a reasonable time, the City Council may adjourn the meeting or continue the meeting upon making findings that good-faith efforts were made to restore access and that the public interest in continuing the meeting outweighs the interest in remote public access.

Although adoption of this policy is not legally required at this time, staff believes formalizing these procedures demonstrates the City’s continued commitment to transparency, public access, consistency in meeting procedures, and continuity of government operations during technology disruptions.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of this policy. Existing staff and technology resources will be utilized to implement the procedures outlined in the policy.

CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA REPORT
TO: Mayor Clauzel and Members of the City Council
FROM: Fernando Ulloa, City Manager
BY: Kevin Williams, Finance Director
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2026
ITEM NO: 7.2
SUBJECT: Receive a presentation from staff and conduct a review and discussion of the proposed Fiscal Year 2026/27 General Fund and All Other Funds budget for the City of Patterson. Provide direction to staff regarding the proposed budget.

RECOMMENDATION
Receive a presentation from staff and conduct a review and discussion of the proposed Fiscal Year 2026/27 General Fund and All Other Funds budget for the City of Patterson. Provide direction to staff regarding the proposed budget.

BACKGROUND
The City provides its services through three separate legal entities: the City of Patterson, the Patterson Public Financing Authority, and the West Patterson Financing Authority. The fiscal year for all three entities runs from July 1 through June 30. Staff prepares operating and capital improvement budgets for the City and the Authorities, which are then reviewed, discussed, amended and eventually approved by the City Council and the City Council sitting in its capacity as the Governing Board of the Authorities.

The City has 58 Other Funds in addition to the General Fund and its various departments. Other Funds consist of Enterprise Funds (Water, Sewer, Garbage) and Special Revenue Funds - including Assessments (Landscape Maintenance Districts, Benefit Assessment Districts, Community Facilities Districts, etc.), Housing, Streets, Local Transportation Funds, Gas Tax, and Impact Fees for Community Facilities, Water, Sewer, Street, Public Safety and others.

Due to the City's strong General Fund reserve position of 42% of General Fund operating costs, Council has elected to use fund balance over the past budget cycles as a way to minimize the impacts on service levels while maintaining a general fund reserve budget well above state standards. Staff has worked diligently to provide accurate and detailed projections and estimates to Council. Barring major concerns from the City Council with the budget proposed this evening, we are anticipating final adoption of the budgets for the City and the Authorities at a Council Packet Pg. 51
meeting on June 16, 2026.

ANALYSIS
Tonight's workshop will focus on the City's General Fund, from which most of our basic services such as law enforcement, fire prevention and suppression, planning, engineering, building and capital projects, parks and recreation, and general administration are paid.

The General Fund net change in the current year is projected to have approximately $1 million of available fund balance at the end of Fiscal Year 2026/27. Fiscal Year 2026/27 Sales Tax revenues are expected to increase by 4.9% over the adjusted Fiscal Year 2026/27 budget, and property tax is anticipated to increase by 10.5%. Overall, Staff is projecting the General Fund’s operating revenues and transfers in to decrease approximately 6%. This decrease is expected from a reduction in federal grants and a decrease in development related revenues. However, due to transfers in related to CIP, the overal revenue and transfers in to the General Fund is expected to increase approximately 7.5%.

The workshop will also cover the Enterprise Funds. The Garbage Fund is projected to end Fiscal Year 2026/27 with a negative available working capital of ($373,234), which was planned in the Garbage Rate Study. The Sewer Fund is projected to end Fiscal Year 2026/27 with a negative available working capital of ($2,907,599), pending an updated sewer rate study. The Water Fund is projected to end Fiscal Year 2026/27 with available working capital in the amount of $7,285,664.

Projected ending balances are estimates using the ending balance from the audited financial statements for Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2025, adjusted budget totals for revenue and expenses for Fiscal Year 2025/26, and projections for Fiscal Year 2026/27. However, the adjusted budget totals will vary from the actual results for Fiscal Year 2025/26 and staff will bring updated information to Council as part of the Mid-Year Budget for Fiscal Year 2026/27.

FISCAL IMPACT
Item has no direct Fiscal Impact in FY 2026. Presentation outlines the fiscal impact of the proposed budget for FY 2027. Staff plans to bring the FY 2027 proposed budget back to City Council for adoption on June 16, 2026.
