PUBLIC DISCUSSION:

Emil Guillermo, Ripon Poet Laureate, said he had a poem to read and proceeded to read it.

Guillermo said he will be hosting a workshop on January 20, 2025 at 4:30 pm at the Ripon Library. He said the theme of the workshop will be “poetry everywhere”.

Adam Corkins said he is concerned about the failed fire district ballot and the need for ongoing preparedness at both the household and community levels. He said the recent events in Los Angeles emphasized the importance of investing in resources such as food, water, medical supplies, and ensuring timely response from First Responders.

Corkins said he believes the failure of the ballot should not be interpreted as a lack of support for the fire district, but perhaps an issue with the price point or communication around the benefits.

Corkins also expressed his concern regarding potential issues with the distribution of ballots, saying that he did not receive ballots for any of his properties. Corkins suggested using private transaction data to cross-check county records to ensure accuracy in future ballots.

3. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. LIGHTING DISTRICT FINANCIAL UPDATE
Discussion/No Action Staff to present a summary of the Lighting District financials.

City Administrator Werner said in 2004, the property owners within City limits voted for the City to take over the Ripon Lighting District from San Joaquin County and set the assessment of $42 per Single Family Equivalent (SFE). In 2005, the Lighting District borrowed funds to convert HPS lights owned by the City to induction for maintenance and operational cost savings.

Werner said in 2017, PG&E converted PG&E owned lights from HPS to LED and the capital cost to replace these lights was paid for by the Lighting District through a temporary surcharge that was completed at the end of 2019.

Werner presented a timeline of improvements made to the Lighting District.

Werner summarized the Lighting District revenue and said that property taxes account for 15% of revenue. He said there was an assessment of $42 per single-family equivalent approved in 2004 that remains in place. He said non-residential properties are charged an equivalent SFE.

Werner said utility expenses have increased 62% since 2005 including a $50,000 increase from 2023 to 2024. He said there have been no funds transferred to a capital replacement fund.

Werner said that after 20 years, the Lighting District operating fund no longer has a negative balance, but revenue has not been sufficient to establish a capital replacement fund. He said recent increases in utility expenses present a significant challenge.

Werner said capital needs for the Lighting District include replacing induction lights and replacing the maintenance vehicle with a lift. He said the induction lights installed in 2005 typically have a 30-year life span and are estimated to cost $600,000 to replace. He said the current vehicle has exceeded its useful life, is expensive to maintain and is estimated to cost $150,000 to replace.

City Council Page 11 January 14, 2025
Werner said the financial goals of the lighting district including establishing a Capital Replacement Fund that would maintain a balance of $500,000 and sufficient funds to purchase capital without incurring debt.

Werner summarized the current financial scenario. He said if nothing is done there will be a significant deficit in the operating fund and the City would need to evaluate options to increase revenue or reduce services.

Werner presented two different options to increase the revenue modeled in the current financial scenario. Option 1 would be to increase SFE from $42 to $80, resulting in an increase of $760 per SFE over 20 years. He said Option 2 would be to increase SFE from $42 to $55 and index at 3% per year increasing SFE from $55 to $96.44 or $640 over a 20-year period.

Werner said Option 1 would see the assessment stay the same over the 20-year period and would meet the financial goals of the Lighting District, however at the end of the 20- year period there would need to be another assessment or the District would be operating in a deficit.

Werner said Option 2 has the assessment increase 3% annually allowing the Lighting District to meet its financial goals and provide the continuing revenue necessary to meet ongoing financial needs.

Werner said if the Council is interested in increasing the revenue, a Prop 218 would be required. He summarized those steps necessary including preparing an Engineer’s Report, a resolution approving the Engineer’s Report, sending out ballots and finally, a public hearing to count the ballots.

Werner said if the Council is not interested in pursuing an increase in revenue, staff will evaluate cost savings measures and/or alternative funding sources.

Council Member Zuber asked if the LED lights last as long as the induction light and if they use more or less energy. Werner said they are very similar in life and energy usage.

Mayor de Graaf said he does not understand why the lights are so expensive to replace.

Council Member Restuccia said he does not feel like the LED lights are lasting as long as advertised. Werner said he has not heard of the LED lights going out in the District.

Vice Mayor Barton said he is concerned about three Prop 218 measures going before the public right now, he believes it would be prudent to bring this back in a year. de Graaf said he agreed with Barton. Werner said the City is not in a position where the City needs to replace induction lights right now.

REPORTS
Department Heads:

Police Chief Sauer said there was a large-scale active shooter exercise last week at Ripon High and it went extremely well. He said there were over 15 participating agencies and 2,280 participants and volunteers.

Recreation Director Stevens said the tennis courts are making progress and staff is currently working on fencing. He said temporary striping was done but crews will come back when the weather warms up. He said he is hoping to open the temporary courts January 24, 2025.

Stevens congratulated Terpstra on his retirement.

Planning Director Zuidervaart said there will not be a Planning Commission meeting in January, but there will be a meeting in February.

Zuidervaart congratulated Terpstra on his retirement.

City Attorney Terpstra Jr. said he is honored to be stepping into his new role of City Attorney.

Terpstra Jr. congratulated Terpstra on his retirement saying it has been a privilege and an honor to watch him throughout his life.

Terpstra said this is his final meeting as the City of Ripon City Attorney. He said he believes the City is in the right hands. He said Ripon is a special place and the staff cares about the City and is enjoyable to work with.

City Administrator Werner said it is hard for him to see Terpstra go after 18 years of working together. He said in their department meeting this morning, staff reflected on Terpstra’s key role in some of the City's biggest decisions and agreements and his contributions have left a lasting, positive impact on the community. He said he deeply appreciates the mentorship Terpstra has provided him and the department heads.

Werner said he is excited to work with Terpstra Jr.

City Council:

Council Member Zuber said in his experience, both professionally and as a council member, he has worked with many attorneys, and when we needed someone to help guide us and keep things moving, Terpstra was that person. He said he genuinely cares about both the community and the law, which is a balance many struggle to achieve. He said he has also worked with Terpstra Jr. in various capacities, and believes the City is in good hands because Terpstra Jr. shares his father’s dedication to this town and has the knowledge to back it up.

Council Member Restuccia said he uses Terpstra as an example of a good attorney when he talks to people and said he has always appreciated Terpstra's flexibility. He said as far as Terpstra Jr. is concerned: the apple does not fall far from the tree so he believes the City is in good hands.

City Council Page 13 January 14, 2025
Restuccia said he is receiving calls about the fires in Los Angeles and about whether Ripon is prepared. He said he would like to know if Chief DeHart could make a public comment ensuring the public that the Fire Department is ready.

Restuccia said one of his main concerns is keeping Ripon, Ripon. He said the City cannot rely on Sacramento for support due to the lack of leadership and incompetence. He said that Ripon needs to be prepared to handle its own issues independently, without depending on the State. Restuccia said that despite California being one of the world’s largest economies, the State is struggling.

He added that these concerns would be addressed during their strategic planning session.

Council Member Uecker said he has known Terpstra for many years and he is a good friend. He said he wanted to congratulate Terpstra on his retirement and congratulate Terptra Jr. on his new appointment.

Vice Mayor Barton wanted to congratulate Sauer and DeHart and the community school district for the recent exercise, which he understood went well. He said that while it is a scenario they hope never happens, being prepared is essential. He also recognized Vincent and Stephanie Hobbs for their volunteer efforts in making the exercise happen and said they are invaluable to the community.

Barton said he has known Terpstra for many years, having lived just a couple houses down. He said Terpstra’s wisdom and unwavering values provided him great confidence in Terpstra's advice. He said he will miss Terpstra but is excited to work with Terpstra Jr., whom he’s known since childhood and believes he will guide the City with strong values and competence in the years to come.

Mayor de Graaf said it is clear that the community is filled with wonderful people who have dedicated time and effort to making it a great place. He echoed Barton’s comments and said the Fire and Police Departments working together with school districts on preparedness is commendable. He agreed with Restuccia’s comments about leadership in the State and surrounding communities, noting how things are done differently here. de Graaf said one of the most influential figures for him has been Terpstra. He thanked him for always being available to listen, offer counsel and being a good friend—not only in City matters but in life. He congratulated Terpstra on his retirement, thanking him for his dedicated service to the community. He said Terpstra Jr. has big shoes to fill but he has confidence in his ability to do an excellent job. de Graaf said that while Terpstra has had a huge impact on the past, he is excited about the future with Terpstra Jr. and knows the City is in good hands. de Graaf thanked everyone for being there and said he is looking forward to seeing them at the next meeting.
