• Due to the proximity of the 17,200 volts overhead high voltage lines, a minimum clearance of 12 feet is to be maintained from the overhead primary conductor to any walkable surface of the building and a minimum of 8 feet from any non-walkable surface per General Order
95. And a minimum horizontal clearance of 6 feet between the conductor and any part of the building upon which men may work is to be maintained per General Order 95. • The District's Electric Engineering Department is concerned about construction dirt/dust falling on MID electric facilities at the MID Stockton Substation during the construction phase of this project. The MID high voltage electric facilities require protection from dirt/dust. Do not dig new utility trenches, grade, level or dig building foundations without effective construction dust control measures in place. Windblown dirt/dust on electric facilities at the MID Stockton Substation may cause a power outage. • Existing electric service may not be adequate for the proposed project development. Prior to any construction a full set of construction plans must be submitted to Electrical Engineering Design Group. Please contact Modesto Irrigation District at (209) 526-7337 or (888) 335-1643 and ask for the Electrical Engineering Design Group to coordinate project/cost requirements.
The Modesto Irrigation District reserves its future rights to utilize its property, including its canal and electrical easements and rights-of-way, in a manner it deems necessary for the installation and maintenance of electric, irrigation, agricultural and urban drainage, domestic water and telecommunication facilities.
These needs, which have not yet been determined, may consist of poles, crossarms, wires, cables, braces, insulators, transformers, service lines, open channels, pipelines, control structures and any necessary appurtenances, as may, in District’s opinion, be necessary or desirable.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (209) 526-7447.

Dear Mr. Zuidervaart:
SJCOG, Inc. has reviewed the project referral for the Major Site Review (SR21-36) Project. This project consists of a 264-unit self-storage facility with varying unit sizes. The total square footage of the units will be 48,675. Access to the site will be from one gated access point on Parallel Avenue. There will be a kiosk connected to a 300 square foot office that will operate the gate. The applicant is proposing three parking stalls, one of which will be ADA accessible. The project site is located at 700 Parallel Avenue, Ripon (APN: 261-160-10, -11).
The City of Ripon is a signatory to San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP). Participation in the SJMSCP satisfies requirements of both the state and federal endangered species acts, and ensures that the impacts are mitigated below a level of significance in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The LOCAL JURISDICTION retains responsibility for ensuring that the appropriate Incidental Take Minimization Measure are properly implemented and monitored and that appropriate fees are paid in compliance with the SJMSCP. Although participation in the SJMSCP is voluntary, Local Jurisdiction/Lead Agencies should be aware that if project applicants choose against participating in the SJMSCP, they will be required to provide alternative mitigation in an amount and kind equal to that provided in the SJMSCP.
This Project is subject to the SJMSCP. This can be up to a 30 day process and it is recommended that the project applicant contact SJMSCP staff as early as possible. It is also recommended that the project applicant obtain an information package. http://www.sjcog.org
Please contact SJMSCP staff regarding completing the following steps to satisfy SJMSCP requirements:
▪ Schedule a SJMSCP Biologist to perform a pre-construction survey prior to any ground disturbance ▪ SJMSCP Incidental take Minimization Measures and mitigation requirement:
1. Incidental Take Minimization Measures (ITMMs) will be issued to the project and must be signed by the project applicant prior to any ground disturbance but no later than six (6) months from receipt of the ITMMs. If ITMMs are not signed within six months, the applicant must reapply for SJMSCP Coverage. Upon receipt of signed ITMMs from project applicant, SJCOG, Inc. staff will sign the ITMMs. This is the effective date of the ITMMs.
2. Under no circumstance shall ground disturbance occur without compliance and satisfaction of the ITMMs.
3. Upon issuance of fully executed ITMMs and prior to any ground disturbance, the project applicant must:
a. Post a bond for payment of the applicable SJMSCP fee covering the entirety of the project acreage being covered (the bond should be valid for no longer than a 6 month period); or b. Pay the appropriate SJMSCP fee for the entirety of the project acreage being covered; or c. Dedicate land in-lieu of fees, either as conservation easements or fee title; or d. Purchase approved mitigation bank credits.
4. Within 6 months from the effective date of the ITMMs or issuance of a building permit, whichever occurs first, the project applicant must:
a. Pay the appropriate SJMSCP for the entirety of the project acreage being covered; or b. Dedicate land in-lieu of fees, either as conservation easements or fee title; or
1.4.F.b
Packet Pg. 204 Attachment: Exhibit A_Conditions of Approval (3234 : Parallel Avenue Self-Storage PIA) 2 | S J C O G , I n c .
c. Purchase approved mitigation bank credits.
Failure to satisfy the obligations of the mitigation fee shall subject the bond to be called. ▪ Receive your Certificate of Payment and release the required permit It should be noted that if this project has any potential impacts to waters of the United States [pursuant to Section 404 Clean Water Act], it would require the project to seek voluntary coverage through the unmapped process under the SJMSCP which could take up to 90 days. It may be prudent to obtain a preliminary wetlands map from a qualified consultant. If waters of the United States are confirmed on the project site, the Corps and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) would have regulatory authority over those mapped areas [pursuant to Section 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act respectively] and permits would be required from each of these resource agencies prior to grading the project site.
If you have any questions, please call (209) 235-0600.

Subject: Measure K Renewal Cooperative Agreement - Ripon Safe Routes to School Improvements
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the Measure K Renewal Cooperative Agreement No. (C-22-028) with the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) in order to receive reimbursement for the Ripon Safe Routes to School Improvements Project from the Smart Growth Incentive Program funding category of the Local Transportation Improvement Plan (LTIP).
BACKGROUND
This project will upgrade four key roadways, including:
Second Street – Installation of a Class III bikeway (signage indicating preferred bike route) from South Wilma Avenue to Palm Avenue and a Class II bikeway (painted bike lane along the street) from Palm Ave to South Stockton Avenue. In addition, intersection improvements will be completed at S. Acacia Avenue, S. Locust Avenue, and S. Stockton Avenue, including curb extensions to reduce the length of crosswalks and high visibility markers or pavers at these intersections.
North and South Acacia Avenue – Installation of Class III bikeways from Doak Boulevard to the overcrossing at Highway 99.
Prospect Avenue – Installation of Class III bikeways as well as a crossing upgrade at the Frontage Road intersection, which will incorporate a Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacon (RRFB) and median refuge for pedestrians.
Ripona Avenue - Installation of Class II bikeways from Milgeo Avenue to California Street.
Below is a figure showing the locations of the project improvements.

3. Project Scope of Work:
This project will upgrade four key roadways. Along Second Street, improvements include Class III bikeways from South Wilma Avenue to Palm Avenue and Class II bikeways from Palm Ave to South Stockton Avenue. At three intersections, curb extensions will be installed and existing crosswalks will be upgraded with high-visibility markings or pavers. Along North and South Acacia Avenue, Class III bikeways will be installed from Doak Boulevard to the overcrossing at Highway 99. Along Prospect Avenue, Class III bikeways will be installed as well as a crossing upgrade at the Frontage Road intersection, which will incorporate a RRFB and median refuge. Along Ripon Avenue, Class II bikeways will be installed.
This project is a high priority for the City. It will improve roadway conditions for bicyclists and pedestrians by improving safety, comfort and convenience along key central Ripon routes. This project will create a network of on-street bikeways to connect bicyclists to existing facilities around the perimeter and northern and downtown area, connect across Highway 99 by linking facilities to the existing bicycle and pedestrian overcrossing, and connect to local schools and community destinations in downtown Ripon.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Lisa Roos, City Clerk & Finance Director
Date: 04/12/2022
Subject: Claim - Abhijit & Amandeep Gill
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The City’s claim administrator has investigated the submitted claim and is recommending the City Council reject the claim.
BACKGROUND:
Abhijit & Amandeep Gill submitted a claim to the City of Ripon on February 17, 2022 for damage done by a garbage truck to their basketball hoop in front of their home. They are seeking a total of $691.91 ($591.91 for the replacement of the basketball hoop and $100.00 for the installation fee).
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The City’s claim administrator, Doug Redifer, reviewed the claim submitted, pictures and video of the incident. Ripon Municipal Code states that no obstructions shall be place in “the public ways…” This includes “any post, pillar, pole or structure which stands or rests upon, within or in any public way”. Mr. Redifer states that there is no liability for this loss as the basketball pole and hoop were in the public sidewalk/street in violation of RMC 12.08.020. Furthermore, the claimant was aware of trash pickup every Tuesday and put the can under the hoop creating the hazard.
Accordingly, it is Mr. Redifer’s recommendation that this matter be submitted to the City Council for the claim to be rejected.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Kevin Werner, City Administrator
Date: 04/12/2022
Subject: Oppose Initiative 21-0042A1
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff is recommending the City Council oppose the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act (AG# 21-0042A1) and approve the attached resolution.
BACKGROUND:
In 2018, the Tax Fairness, Transparency and Accountability Act (AG# 17-0050A1), was being circulated to qualify for the November 2018 ballot. This initiative would have drastically limited local revenue authority. The measure was met with opposition and the measure’s proponents withdrew the initiative from the ballot in June 2018.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
On Jan. 4, 2022, the California Business Roundtable filed the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act (AG# 21-0042A1). This measure is far more detrimental to cities than the measure filed in 2018, because it would decimate vital local and state services to the benefit of wealthy corporations.
Generally, the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act limits voters’ authority, adopts new and stricter rules for raising taxes and fees, and makes it more difficult to hold violators of state and local laws accountable. The following summarizes specific concerns with the proposed legislation:
1) Limit voter authority and accountability
Limits voter input. Prohibits local voters from providing direction on how local tax dollars should be spent by prohibiting local advisory measures. Invalidates the Upland decision that allows a majority of local voters to pass special taxes. Taxes proposed by the Initiative are subject to the same rules as taxes placed on the ballot by a city council. All measures passed between January 2022 and
2.A
Packet Pg. 230
November 2022 would be invalidated unless reenacted within 12 months. 2) Restrict local fee authority to provide local services Impacts franchise fees. Sets new standard for fees and charges paid for the use of local and state government property. The standard may significantly restrict the amount oil companies, utilities, gas companies, railroads, garbage companies, cable companies, and other corporations pay for the use of local public property. Rental and sale of local government property must be “reasonable” which must be proved by “clear and convincing evidence.”
Except for licensing and other regulatory fees, fees and charges may not exceed the “actual cost” of providing the product or service for which the fee is charged. “Actual cost” is the “minimum amount necessary.” The burden to prove the fee or charge does not exceed “actual cost” is changed to “clear and convincing” evidence. 3) Restrict authority of state and local governments to issue fines and penalties for violations of law
Requires voter approval of fines, penalties, and levies for corporations and property owners that violate state and local laws unless a new, undefined adjudicatory process is used to impose the fines and penalties.
4) Restrict local tax authority to provide local services Requires voter approval to expand existing taxes (e.g., UUT, use tax, TOT) to new territory (e.g., annexation) or expanding the base (e.g., new utility service). City charters may not be amended to include a tax or fee. New taxes can be imposed only for a specific time period. Taxes adopted after Jan. 1, 2022, that do not comply with the new rules, are void unless reenacted.
All state taxes require majority voter approval.
Prohibits any surcharge on property tax rate and allocation of property tax to state. 5) Other changes
No fee or charge or exaction regulating vehicle miles traveled can be imposed as a condition of property development or occupancy.
Cal Cities, along with a broad coalition of local governments, labor and public safety leaders, infrastructure advocates, and businesses, strongly oppose this initiative.

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RIPON OPPOSING THE TAXPAYER PROTECTION AND
GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY ACT
WHEREAS, an association representing California’s wealthiest corporations is behind a deceptive proposition aimed for the November 2022 statewide ballot; and WHEREAS, the measure creates new constitutional loopholes that allow corporations to pay far less than their fair share for the impacts they have on our communities, including local infrastructure, our environment, water quality, air quality, and natural resources; and WHEREAS, the measure includes undemocratic provisions that would make it more difficult for local voters to pass measures needed to fund local services and infrastructure, and would limit voter input by prohibiting local advisory measures where voters provide direction on how they want their local tax dollars spent; and
WHEREAS, the measure makes it much more difficult for state and local regulators to issue fines and levies on corporations that violate laws intended to protect our environment, public health and safety, and our neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, the measure puts billions of dollars currently dedicated to state and local services at risk, and could force cuts to public schools, fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, parks, libraries, affordable housing, services to support homeless residents, mental health services, and more; and
WHEREAS, the measure would also reduce funding for critical infrastructure like streets and roads, public transportation, drinking water, new schools, sanitation, and utilities.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Ripon, opposes Initiative 21-0042A1.
THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Ripon will join the NO on Initiative 21-0042A1 coalition, a growing coalition of public safety, labor, local government, infrastructure advocates, and other organizations throughout the state.
