3. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. INSTALLATION AGREEMENT
Frontier California, Inc.

Discussion/Action
Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign
the Installation Agreement with Frontier
California, Inc. for the installation of highspeed fiber optic cables within the City of Ripon right-of-way in order to provide
telecommunications services to Ripon
residents and businesses.

City Administrator Werner introduced Associate Engineer Christiana Giedd. Giedd said Frontier wants to install 70 miles of fiber optic cables throughout the City and have begun submitting encroachment permits. Staff decided it would be best to create an installation agreement to ensure the project is completed in the best way. She said staff City Council Page 7 February 14, 2023
believes Frontier will start construction in the third or fourth quarter of 2023.

Giedd said there are three ways for Frontier to install fiber optic cables including horizontal boring, which is staff’s preference. Horizontal boring would include a 4x4 patch in the street but would enable them to go two house lengths before boring again.

Giedd showed a picture of what the patches will look like.

Mayor Restuccia said that would mean having patches along the whole street; Giedd confirmed.

Vice Mayor Zuber asked if Frontier will be responsible for the repair of the street section they are working on. Giedd confirmed and said staff wanted to keep requirements manageable because fiber optic internet is a great benefit to the residents of Ripon.

Giedd said Frontier would like to install about 40 miles of new underground conduit.

Restuccia asked if staff is aware that Frontier is already installing fiber optic. Giedd said staff is not currently approving any permits that involve trenching, but Frontier is currently installing fiber optic cable on existing utility poles and pulling cable through existing conduit.

Giedd said another trenching option is microtrenching, which is a foot-wide patch the length of the road.

Werner said the issues with this option are due to the chamfer of our curbs; the trench would be in the middle of the lane and the equipment is then in the road putting more stress on the road.

Restuccia confirmed trenching will only be done where there is no existing conduit.

Council Member Barton asked if Frontier will install a large enough conduit to allow for other fiber optic utility companies. Werner said no.

Restuccia inquired about the quality of the roads where the trenching had been done.

Giedd said she drove the streets in Manteca and said they looked fine. Giedd said she spoke to the City of Manteca and they were happy with the outcome. Giedd said she spoke to a city that did the microtrenching and said that city was unhappy with the results.

Werner said the seal around the patch is important because if it is not done right the water will leak under the patch and compromise the asphalt. Barton said the work has to be quality.

Restuccia asked who will go out and make sure this is done right. Giedd said staff will be hiring a consultant to do this and the consultant’s fees will be paid for with a portion of Frontier’s encroachment permit fees. If the consultant’s fees go beyond the portion of encroachment permit fees designated for inspection, the agreement states that Frontier will be responsible for the difference.

City Council Page 8 February 14, 2023
Barton asked how long this will take. Giedd said Frontier estimates a nine-month construction time but staff feels that it will take longer.

Werner said staff will control how many permits are issued at one time in order to keep up with inspections and control the disruption to residents.

Giedd said she wanted to clarify that all encroachment permit requirements will be met using this agreement and what is being called a “permit to construct”, which will eliminate duplicate work.

Restuccia said this can be used as a template for future projects.

Restuccia asked Giedd to send them a map of the proposed underground trenching areas.

Barton asked Giedd to send Council a map of Manteca locations with underground trenching.

Motion to approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the Installation Agreement with Frontier California, Inc. for the installation of high-speed fiber optic cables within the City of Ripon right-of-way in order to provide telecommunications services to Ripon residents and businesses.

RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS]
MOVER: Daniel de Graaf, Council Member
SECONDER: Leo Zuber, Vice Mayor
AYES: Restuccia, Zuber, de Graaf, Barton, Uecker
B. CITY WIDE WAYFINDING SIGN PROJECT
Discussion/No Action Staff to present the proposed wayfinding signs throughout the City along with an
electronic sign at City Hall.

Planning Director Zuidervaart said staff has been working with a local vendor and the Chamber on a wayfinding sign master plan for quite some time. He said the purpose of the wayfinding sign project is to direct out-of-town travelers to the Mistlin Sports Park and Downtown District.

Zuidervaart said the wayfinding sign project in our Downtown District will direct the traveling public to the City’s additional parking areas.

Zuidervaart said the first phase of the two-phase plan includes sixteen proposed sign locations outside the Downtown District area. He said each location would include the installation of a decorative pole, similar to the City’s decorative light poles in our Downtown District, and a wayfinding sign.

Zuidervaart said the first phase would also include the installation of an electronic City Council Page 9 February 14, 2023
message center monument sign located in front of City Hall along Wilma Avenue. He said the sign would replace the existing Police Department monument sign and be double sided so that traffic traveling on Wilma Avenue will be able to see the sign from either direction. He said the purpose of the electronic message center sign will be to share important community messages regarding upcoming events and pertinent information.

Zuidervaart said if this sign works well, they may consider putting more of the electrical signs in other places throughout town.

Zuidervaart said the second phase has 14 proposed sign locations. About half of the locations would include the installation of decorative poles in order to mount the wayfinding signs, while the other half of the signs would be mounted to already existing decorative light poles. He said the signs would focus on public parking locations, pertinent buildings and the ACE Station in the future.

Zuidervaart said the entire project would cost approximately $137,000 with United Signs.

Zuidervaart said staff wants to work with the Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown group on a sign design.

Mayor Restuccia asked if this was a result of the Downtown Parking Committee meeting.

Zuidervaart said the desire for wayfinding signs goes back farther. Zuidervaart said the City has done some striping in the Downtown District to help with parking and the wayfinding signage will be part of this.

Vice Mayor Zuber asked if the message board could resemble the Downtown District signs instead of stucco. Zuidervaart said the vendor is able to show staff and Council different models.

Council Member Barton asked if staff has discussed what information would go on the electronic sign. City Administrator Werner said if the electronic sign is approved staff will bring back a policy regarding what is allowed. He said staff is working to improve how information is relayed to the public and to develop creative educational content for the new website.

Barton said when the government spends money he is interested in not only in the cost, but also the potential benefit and believes it is difficult to pin that down on something like this. He said Council is considering this with the goal that it will direct people to businesses in town and generate economic activity.

Zuidervaart said if people know where they want to go, they plug in directions, but people out at the Mistlin Sports Park are not always sure where they want to go and this will help direct traffic from Mistlin Sports Park to Downtown District.

Kelly Donohue, Chamber of Commerce CEO, said the Chamber has been working with the City on this project for years and this is an economic drive for the Downtown District.

She said there is a need for signage regarding businesses and directing people to available Downtown District parking so people know what is available. She said the Downtown District businesses, in collaboration with the Chamber, brought this idea to the Council.

City Council Page 10 February 14, 2023
Council Member de Graaf said the other downtowns have these signs.

Donohue said the parking and walkability are very important. She said the electronic sign will be very nice.

Restuccia said the signs are very classy. Donohue agreed and said this goes very well with the existing arches and goal that the Chamber and City have been working toward.

Council gave direction to proceed with the project and bring back an electronic sign model that matches the wayfinding signs.

REPORTS
Department Heads:

Director of Public Works Pease gave a report regarding the Recycling Center revenue and expenses. He said the City has spent $6,900 to match the $60 per ton price the City had agreed to with Ripon Unified School District. He said the City contribution could increase depending on the market this year. He said staff is looking to find a facility that will accept the Styrofoam and plastic and said staff is looking to hire part time employees to increase hours at the Recycling Center. Pease said the City collected 234 tons of cardboard for the 2022 year as opposed to 272 tons in 2021, and 400 tons in 2019. This is due to the limited operating hours.

Pease said January water usage was down 4.5% from 2013 numbers and 5% from last year’s number and water usage for 2022 overall was down 16.5% from 2013 and 2% higher than 2021.

Mayor Restuccia asked how often the depths of the aquafers are checked. Pease said monthly and there is a downward trend.

City Council:

Council Member Barton said he had a chance to talk to Steve Verver and was told that the local American Legion’s financial position is strong now thanks to Chief Ormonde.

Barton said Verver is also active as a coach at Ripon High School and described the staff as committed to the town. Barton said that is what makes this City remarkable and exceptional. The leaders of this town really care about it and he is proud of the legacy.

Barton said one of the reasons Ripon is exceptional is because they have a vision for what they want the town to be like and it is based on eternal truth including the Declaration of Independence. He said we are not subject to the cultural whims of the day rather on things we know for hundreds of thousands of years that have proven to create communities where people work together.

Council Member de Graff said thank you to everyone who attended the meeting and congratulated everyone.

City Council Page 11 February 14, 2023
Council Member Uecker congratulated the Chamber on their Centennial Celebration and said Kelly Donohue does a wonderful job.

Vice Mayor Zuber said he has arranged the car for the Almond Blossom parade.

Mayor Restuccia said we have lost some close friends these past couple weeks and to be sure to pray for their families.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:05 PM. (Signed) Mike Restuccia

REGULAR MEETING
WORKSHOP 5:00 PM
SUBJECT:

Phasing of Community Center Improvements
City Administrator Werner said the purpose of the workshop is to discuss funding and phasing options for improvements to the Community Center. Werner said the project includes reconstructing the existing parking lots with pavers, building an additional parking lot, relocating the middle field to the west and improving the baseball fields with new fencing, revised dugouts, concrete flatwork and ADA access. The full cost of the project is $1.9 million.

Werner presented different phasing options including a single-phase option or a two-phase option that would include baseball field improvements and applying a microsurface/slurry seal to the existing parking lots in phase one and then reconstruct the parking lots with pavers in phase two.

Werner said there are three different options to fund the project: option one would use funds from the 2021-22 Surplus Fund, Recreation General Capital Fund, and General Department Capital Fund; option two would use funds from the 2021-22 Surplus Fund and Street and Road Reserve Fund; option three will fund only phase one of the project and use the 2021-22 Surplus Funds.

Council discussed the various funding options including future capital projects and generally preferred to do the project in one phase with funding from the 2021-22 Surplus Fund, Recreation General Capital Fund, and General Department Capital Fund.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE:

The meeting was called to order at 6:00 p.m. with Mayor Restuccia leading in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

Pease said December water usage was 16% below our 2013 water usage and 8% above 2021 numbers.

Pease said the Annual Brush Pickup Program has ended for the year and public works crews are picking up the last of it this week.

City Council:

Council Member Barton said he wanted to express gratitude for the abundant rain and incredible snow pack. He said this is a good reminder to be thankful for our first responders; there are many people working hard to keep California safe right now. He said he wanted to highlight Public Works Director Pease and the Public Works crews that are keeping the storm drains clear.

Council Member de Graaf asked Kelly Donohue, Chamber of Commerce, if there are any events in the upcoming future. Donohue said the Kick-Off Speech Night for the Miss Ripon Candidates is on January 12, 2023 in the City Council Chamber at 6:00 PM and the Almond Blossom Fashion Show is on February 8, 2023.
de Graaf thanked everyone who attended the meeting and echoed Barton's sentiments for the many people helping during this time.

Mayor Restuccia said he has not had more confidence in this County in the 25 years he has been involved with the City Council than he does right now. Restuccia said that Sheriff Withrow has always wanted to get bad people and now he has help from newly elected District Attorney Ron Freitas. He said he spoke with the Stockton, Lathrop, Escalon, Tracy and Ripon police departments and they are excited to have a District Attorney who wants to prosecute the cases brought to him.

Restuccia said this is the best Council he has sat with in 25 years and he believes this Council makes some of the best decisions that a Council can make.

Restuccia said City staff is second to none, starting at the top with Kevin Werner.

Restuccia said Sheriff Withrow has said this is going to be the safest county in the State of California, in fact, in the United States. Restuccia said he hopes that is true and believes all the pieces are aligned to have a very good county.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:21 PM. (Signed) Mike Restuccia

MEMORANDUM
To: City Managers and City Clerks
From: League of California Cities Executive Director and CEO Carolyn Coleman Subject: 2023 League of California Cities Membership Dues Invoice ___________________________________________________________________________ Thank you for your city’s membership in the League of California Cities (Cal Cities). We achieved so much together in 2022 by partnering to ensure the strength and resiliency of our diverse cities in the face of global economic uncertainty. I know your city’s financial resources are not unlimited, and value your city’s ongoing commitment to ensuring California city leaders and cities are strong today, tomorrow, and into the future by belonging to Cal Cities.

Achieving Strong Results
Accompanying your city’s 2023 membership dues invoice is the League of California Cities 2022 Annual Report. Together we proactively advocated at the state and federal levels of government for resources and drove policy that was member-informed and grounded in the voices and experiences of cities.

The value and benefits your city gains from belonging to Cal Cities makes supporting Cal Cities a wise investment. Enclosed for your review is a customized “Return on Investment” report for your city. This report summarizes the significant financial benefits your city receives as a direct result of Cal Cities’ advocacy.

Advancing the Mission
Equally important, your valued membership provides elected and appointed officials in your city the ability to engage in meaningful policy development discussions, pertinent educational workshops, and relevant networking opportunities. Working in concert with our 478 member cities, partners, and coalition supporters, protecting and expanding local authority through advocacy and education remains the cornerstone of Cal Cities’ activities.

In 2022, Cal Cities secured funding to help cities spur the construction of affordable housing, prevent and reduce homelessness, and implement organic waste recycling programs. Cal Cities also protected local transportation projects, safeguarded funding streams used for critical services, and fought back against regulations that would have added unnecessary bureaucracy. In the courts, Cal Cities defended cities on a wide range of issues, notably their ability to interpret their land use plans.

1.2.B.a
Packet Pg. 37
Attachment: Ripon Dues 2023 (3743 : League of California Cities membership) Cal Cities also expanded its online educational programming and launched the City Leaders Summit, which combines in-person advocacy at the Capitol with educational sessions on the most pressing issues facing cities.

In 2023, Cal Cities will again be a vital resource for your community. We look forward to working with you to amplify the voice of city leaders with state and federal policymakers on the priority issues identified by our members: homelessness, housing, public safety, and fiscal sustainability for cities.

Membership Remains Affordable
Under the Cal Cities bylaws, annual membership dues are determined using a city’s population as set forth by the California Department of Finance.

Balancing the fiscal impact on cities with the key role membership dues play in sustaining Cal Cities’ strong operations, the Cal Cities Board authorized a 3% adjustment to the dues schedule for 2023. This decision reflects the Board’s commitment to membership while ensuring adequate funding to support Cal Cities’ advocacy and program activities.

In addition, consistent with Board policy, Cal Cities maintains a Litigation Contingency Reserve Account (LCRA) funded through an optional voluntary surcharge set as a percentage of dues. Reviewed annually by the Board, the LCRA is intended to (1) cover expenses incurred from board-approved litigation within a single budget year; and (2) maintain sufficient set-asides to cover expenses Cal Cities would incur if the organization becomes, or remains involved in, board-approved litigation during the following year. Fully funded for 2023, contributions to the optional voluntary litigation surcharge are not required and are shown as a zero on the enclosed invoice.

California Cities Are Stronger Together
Through Cal Cities, all cities and all city officials have the opportunity to help shape vital solutions to the issues of greatest importance to our cities and the state of California.

On behalf of Cal Cities Officers and Board, I encourage your enthusiastic support of and participation in the League of California Cities during 2023 and beyond. Together, we build even stronger cities and a more vibrant California.

If you have any questions about this matter, please contact Jennifer Whiting, Director, Education and Member Services at [email protected] or 916-658-8249.

Date: 02/14/2023
Subject: General Fund Transfers for 2022-2023
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

This resolution approves the financial transfers for Fiscal Year 2022-23, as discussed at the January 10, 2023 City Council Workshop.

DISCUSSION:

At the January 2023 City Council workshop, the City Council directed staff to prepare a resolution to make a number of transfers, which are summarized below:

Street & Road Reserve Transfer: The City Council policy (Resolution 15-23) requires that 33 percent of any General Fund surplus is transferred to the Street & Road Reserve Fund with the purpose of providing a new funding source dedicated to reconstructing the streets and roads in Ripon that have exceeded their useful life.

Sick Leave Contingency Fund Transfer: The City Council has established certain contingency funds that allows the City Council to continue to fund operations of the City during a short-term economic downturn. Each fund has a certain funding criterion.

Currently, the Sick Leave Contingency Fund does not meet the established criteria. As part of the Fiscal Year 2022-23 transfers, $45,000 is to be transferred to this fund from the General Fund surplus.

Parks & Recreation General Capital Fund Transfer #1: The City Council has established a Parks & Recreation General Capital Fund to replace existing parks and recreation equipment. Funds from the General Fund surplus ($561,517) are to be transferred to the Parks & Recreation General Capital Fund to be used to reconstruct the Community Center Parking Lot and Baseball Fields.

Parks & Recreation General Capital Fund Transfer #2: A second transfer is to be made to the Parks & Recreation General Capital Fund. The source of the funds is the AB1600 Parks & Recreation Capital Funds. Initially, when the funds used for the construction of the Mistlin Sports Park Indoor Volleyball Complex parking lot were allocated, they were

1.3.B
Packet Pg. 52
allocated to the Parks & Recreation General Capital Fund rather than the AB1600 Parks & Recreation Fund. Since this construction is new construction and listed as an AB1600 project, this transfer will essentially “pay back” the Parks & Recreation General Capital Fund – the amount of this transfer is $1.2 million.

Additionally, the revenue from the Rage Volleyball lease is currently being transferred to the Parks & Recreation General Capital Fund. This will continue to provide revenue to maintain and repair parks and recreation facilities in the City of Ripon.

Subject: Fehr & Peers
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the agreement with Fehr & Peers to provide traffic engineering design services in the not to exceed amount of $35,000 (funding source:

Transportation PFFP Fund).

BACKGROUND:

The City was awarded $480,000 for the East Main Traffic Signal Project through the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program in 2019. The project will install a traffic signal at the intersection of East Main Street and Highway 99 Northbound on/off ramps. Currently traffic is controlled with stop signs. The goal of the project is to improve traffic movements through the intersection which will result in lower air emissions from vehicles. The funds received are only eligible for construction and include a 33% local match.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Staff requested a proposal from Fehr & Peers to perform the traffic signal and electrical portion of the design for the project. Fehr & Peers traffic engineering staff specializes in traffic signal and lighting design. Fehr & Peers previously completed the design for the River/Fulton Intersection Improvements project and Colony and Hoff Signal project. The proposal from Fehr & Peers is for a not to exceed cost of $35,000, providing the City with complete plans and specifications for this portion of the design as well as construction support.

SCOPE OF WORK
Fehr & Peers will prepare traffic signal plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for the East Main Street/State Route 99 Northbound Ramps intersection. We understand that the City will complete the civil design, including any roadway, curb, sidewalk, gutter, pavement delineation, and sign work, and will provide electronic base files and as-built plans for our use. The City will also bid the project and manage construction. We will conduct a field review of the intersection to identify potential aboveground conflicts and opportunities for the signal equipment installation. We will prepare PS&E and submit to the City of Ripon for processing. The PS&E will be submitted at the 35%, 95%, and 100% design levels and will be reviewed by both Caltrans and the City of Ripon. We will address comments and provide written responses. This scope assumes we will receive one set of comments from each agency for each of the 35% and 95% review levels.

Fehr & Peers will prepare electrical load calculations and submit them with an application to the utility service provider to identify the service point. Any connection or application fees for the electrical service shall be paid for by the client. These fees are not included in this scope.

The final, signed plans will be submitted as PDF plans and in AutoCAD format drawing files. Final technical special provisions will be provided to the City of Ripon in Word format for incorporation into the bid documents. Final cost estimates will be submitted in Excel format.

Task 1.1 Traffic Signal PS&E
Fehr & Peers will prepare traffic signal installation PS&E for the East Main Street/State Route 99 Northbound Ramps intersection. We will prepare PS&E in accordance with Caltrans District 10 requirements and will use the 2022 Caltrans Standard Plans and Specifications. Construction cost estimates will be developed based on recent bid information for similar projects. The design will address the installation of traffic signal controller, service enclosure, vehicle and pedestrian signals, vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian detection, intersection safety lighting, and emergency vehicle detection, and will include the conductor and equipment schedules. We will prepare AGi32 photometric analyses to verify intersection safety lighting levels for review by the City and Caltrans.

Total Sheets:

We anticipate preparing up to 4 sheets as follows:
• Signal and Lighting System: Up to 2 sheets, 1”=20’
• Electrical Quantities: Up to 1 sheet, NTS
• Notes and Detail Sheet: Up to 1 sheet, NTS
Task 1.2 Review of the City’s Pavement Delineation and Sign PS&E Fehr & Peers will review the City’s pavement delineation and sign PS&E for the East Main Street/State Route 99 Northbound Ramps intersection. We will complete one review at the 35% submittal level and one review at the 95% submittal level. We will provide written comments and redline markups.

Task 2 Bid Support
Fehr & Peers will assist the City during bidding by answering questions and providing interpretation of the traffic signal construction documents.

As the level of effort involved to provide support services is uncertain, the fee provided is an estimate.

Should the level of effort for these services exceed the anticipated budget, Fehr & Peers will seek authorization for additional funds beyond this amount.

Task 3 Construction Support
During the construction of the project, Fehr & Peers will be available to address the following items in relation to the work shown on our plans: interpret and clarify the design intent of the PS&E, review proposed construction changes to provide recommendations, prepare plan revisions necessitated by contract change orders, review contractor submittals for conformance with the design documents, respond to RFIs, and prepare As-Built drawings based on contractor mark-ups.

As the level of effort involved to provide construction support services is uncertain, the fee provided is an estimate. Should the level of effort for these services exceed the anticipated budget, Fehr & Peers will seek authorization for additional funds beyond this amount.

Design Assumptions:

This scope of work assumes that the City of Ripon will coordinate permitting and submittals to Caltrans, and that the City of Ripon will obtain and provide Fehr & Peers with CAD base files or survey information for the project area.

The design does not include any traffic signal interconnect or temporary plans, including but not limited to, temporary traffic signals, temporary lighting, or temporary traffic operations systems. Any other services not specifically listed above will be considered additional work for which a separate scope and fee will be prepared. It is anticipated that no systems, other than those listed above, will be modified or added as part of this project.

Subject: Quarterly Investment Report Review
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Accept the City’s quarterly investment report for the period ending December 31, 2022.

BACKGROUND:

The following report is the City’s quarterly investment report for the period ending December 31, 2022. This report summarizes the City’s investment policy that was adopted by the Council in 1996 and amended in 2003, shows the average interest rate for the last 12 months, and lists individual investments with their balances and interest rates as of the end of the period. The interest rates that are shown on the report are for the 12-month period or quarter then ended.

The City maintains money in both shorter-term daily liquidity investments, such as LAIF, and longer-term investments held at the Bank of New York. The LAIF investment allows the City to earn interest, which is normally lower than the interest from longer-term investments, while the funds remain liquid and can quickly be transferred from time to time to cover operational costs of the City throughout the year.

The investments held at The Bank of New York have longer durations, as such, our goal is to not access the funds for liquidity purposes. It is not uncommon during federal tightening cycles for money market funds and pools similar to LAIF to have yields that surpass longer duration portfolios such as the investments held at the Bank of New York. Nevertheless, this occurrence is typically transitory in nature and although market dependent, we expect the longer-term investments to eventually pass the LAIF yield in the near future.

Subject: Animal Shelter Door Replacement Contract
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the contract with Vaughan Construction to purchase and install replacement doors for the City Animal Shelter in the not to exceed amount of $32,808.80 (funding source: General Department Capital Fund).

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The existing City Animal Shelter was constructed in 2003 and it has been widely used by the community over the past 20 years. There are a number of areas within the shelter in need of replacement, including cabinets in the food prep/wash room, interior and exterior doors and the flooring in the office and storage spaces.

The attached contract with Vaughan Construction is to remove and install new doors throughout the facility. The rooms are washed down regularly and staff recommends installing heavy duty industrial fiberglass doors to avoid similar deterioration of the doors in the future.

The cabinet replacement project was approved at the January 2023 Council meeting and fabrication for the cabinets is underway. Staff is obtaining additional proposals to replace the flooring in the office and storage spaces and will present a contract to the City Council for consideration at a later date.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The attached maintenance project has a not to exceed cost of $32,808.80, which will be paid for through the General Department Capital Fund.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Ken Zuidervaart, Planning Director
Date: 02/14/2023
Subject: Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

The City Council designates the Chief of Police to make determinations of Public Convenience or Necessity for persons/premises applying for an Alcoholic Beverage Control license.

BACKGROUND:

In the past the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control would ask staff to complete forms to determine what is called a “public convenience or necessity” in order to issue licenses for the sale of alcohol. The Planning Director would check to ensure that the location is zoned for such a use and that the premises have obtained any appropriate discretionary permits from the City for such use and the Chief of Police would check to ensure that there were no public safety concerns related to the issuance of such a permit.

In making this determination, staff would refer to Section 23958 of the California Business and Professions Code (BPC), which states that ABC shall deny an application for a liquor license if issuance would result in or add to an undue concentration of licenses in that area.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

At the beginning of this year, Staff received a letter from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control requesting that the local governing board for each jurisdiction now choose which option they would prefer in evaluating these forms for the determination of public convenience or necessity. The Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has provided the following options:

1. The City Council or Board of Supervisors of the City will make determinations of Public Convenience or Necessity (PCN) for persons/premises applying for an ABC license; or

2. The City Council or Board of Supervisors of the City shall designate to staff to make

1.4.D
Packet Pg. 85
determinations of Public Convenience or Necessity (PCN) for persons/premises applying for an ABC license; or

3. The City Council or Board of Supervisors may decline to make determinations of Public Convenience or Necessity (PCN) for persons/premises applying for an ABC license. Under these circumstances, determinations for Public Convenience or Necessity (PCN) will revert to the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

Staff believes that the current process has been sufficient to date and recommends that City Council designate the Chief of Police, in consultation with the Planning Director, to continue to make the determinations of Public Convenience or Necessity (PCN) for all ABC licenses.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Christiana Giedd, Associate Civil Engineer
Date: 02/14/2023
Subject: Frontier California, Inc. Fiber Optic Installation Agreement RECOMMENDATION:

Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the Installation Agreement with Frontier California, Inc. for the installation of high-speed fiber optic cables within the City of Ripon right-of-way in order to provide telecommunications services to Ripon residents and businesses.

BACKGROUND:

Internet service is regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission (PUC), rather than a City franchise agreement. In order for an internet service provider to enter the Ripon market, the following steps must be completed:
 Obtain permission from the California PUC
 Obtain an encroachment permit or approved agreement from the City of Ripon  Construct the necessary facilities
 Operate and maintain the internet service
Currently, Frontier Communications provides internet services via their own fiber optic network.

The current infrastructure providing these services is slower than other providers and can be unreliable at times.

DISCUSSION:

Frontier Communications is proposing to install high-speed fiber optic cables throughout the Ripon public right-of-way in order to provide faster and more reliable internet service to Ripon residents and businesses. The type of construction that is necessary to install the fiber optic cables will depend on the infrastructure currently installed within the public right-of-way. The following describes the expected installation scenarios:

1. Installing the cables on overhead utilities where utility poles currently exist (10 miles)

3.A
Packet Pg. 99

2. Pulling cables through existing conduits that currently exist and are owned by Frontier Communications (20 miles)

3. Installing new underground conduits and pulling the cable through these conduits (40 miles)
In order to mitigate the impacts of construction associated with the installation of the high-speed fiber optic cables, staff is recommending that the City and Frontier Communications enter into an Installation Agreement that will provide overall terms for Frontier Communications expanding their network in Ripon. The following summarizes the terms of this agreement:
- Frontier shall install new underground conduit using horizontal boring construction methods
- Final restoration (e.g., restore asphalt, remove USA markings, replace concrete, etc) of any right-of-way shall be completed by Frontier Communications within 45 days of the installation of the underground conduit
- Frontier shall submit a “Permit to Construct” for each phase of the project in lieu of the standard encroachment agreement so staff can ensure inspection resources are available for the active construction sites and confirm final restoration has been completed on completed projects.

Staff is recommending the City Council approve the Installation Agreement and authorize the Mayor to sign the agreement with Frontier California, Inc. for the installation of infrastructure within the Ripon rights-of-way. Additionally, staff is requesting the City Council allow for minor changes to the risk management language, as approved by the San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Association risk manager, who has been working with the Frontier California, Inc risk manager.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Engineering Department will collect the standard encroachment permit fee of 7% (3% for plan review, 3% for construction inspection, and 1% for GIS services) of construction cost in the public rights-of-way as required for all encroachment permits. The fee will be collected through the “Permit to Construct” process as described in the agreement. The City may hire a consultant to perform inspections, if additional inspection resources are needed. If the actual inspection cost exceeds the 3% of the fee that is designated for construction inspection, Frontier Communications will reimburse the City for the additional expenses.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Ken Zuidervaart, Planning Director
Date: 02/14/2023
Subject: Wayfinding Sign Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Staff to present the proposed wayfinding signs throughout the City along with an electronic sign at City Hall.

BACKGROUND:

Staff has been working with a local vendor and the Chamber regarding a wayfinding sign master plan for the City of Ripon. The purpose of the wayfinding sign project is to direct out of town travelers to the Mistlin Sports Park and our Historic Downtown. Additionally, the wayfinding sign project in our downtown will direct the traveling public to the City’s additional parking areas surrounding our downtown.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

United Signs (the same company that constructed Ripon’s Historic Arches) has proposed a comprehensive wayfinding sign package for our community. The plan consists of signs located at key spots to direct traffic to the Mistlin Sports Park and our Historic Downtown area.

Outside of the downtown area, there are sixteen (16) proposed sign locations. Each location would include the installation of a decorative pole, similar to the City’s decorative light poles in our downtown, and a wayfinding sign. The proposed signs are 3 feet wide and anywhere from 1- 1/2 to 2-3/4 feet tall. Each sign will be constructed of an 1/8” aluminum painted panel and will include the City of Ripon logo along with pertinent wayfinding information.

Additionally, the plan for outside of our downtown area would include the installation of an electronic message center monument sign located in front of City Hall along Wilma Avenue.

The sign is proposed to replace the existing Police Department monument sign and will be double sided so that traffic traveling on Wilma Avenue will be able to see the sign from either direction. Although guidelines will have to be developed for sign content, the purpose of the

3.B
Packet Pg. 117
electronic message center sign will be to share important community messages regarding upcoming events and pertinent information.

Within the downtown area, there are thirteen (13) proposed sign locations. About half of the locations would include the installation of decorative poles in order to mount the wayfinding signs, while the other half of the signs would be mounted to already existing decorative light poles. The downtown wayfinding signs would vary in width between 2 and 3 feet wide depending on whether they are located on their own stand-alone pole or mounted to an existing light pole. These will be the same as the other wayfinding signs outside of downtown and will vary between 1-1/2 to 2-3/4 feet tall depending on content. All signs within the downtown area will focus on public parking locations and other pertinent buildings (i.e. library, veterans park and museum, etc.).

FISCAL IMPACT:

The entire project would cost approximately $137,000, which is to be funded from the General Department Capital Fund.
