Both mining and agriculture placed water at a premium. Water companies, such as the California Water Company, were established to construct dams, reservoirs, and ditch systems to both satisfy and profit from the demand for water (Supernowicz 1983, 1988). Some of these water conveyance systems are still in use (e.g., ditches associated with the Eldorado Irrigation District).

Regional economic boom and population growth, however, had a negative impact on Native American populations. The loss of land and territory (e.g., traditional hunting and gathering locales), malnutrition, starvation, and violence contributed to the decline of Native Americans across the Sierra Nevada foothills and the rest of the state (Chartkoff and Chartkoff 1984; Gunsky 1989).

San Joaquin County
San Joaquin County saw limited settlement during the Spanish and Mexican periods. However, after the California Gold Rush, the area experienced a surge in population as former gold seekers recognized the agricultural potential of the region, particularly for wheat farming and later the cultivation of row and orchard crops, as well as cattle ranching. The establishment of numerous small towns was facilitated by railroad development, which provided access to goods and employment, thus shaping settlement patterns in the broader San Joaquin Valley. Agriculture and ranching have historically been the primary land uses in this area, a tradition that continues today (Impact Science, Inc. 2014).

Woodbridge, one of the earliest communities in the county, began in 1852 as a ferry crossing serving those bound for the eastern gold fields. The town was formally laid out in 1859 with the construction of a bridge across the Mokelumne River, leading to the rapid development of ranches and farmhouses across the hillsides and valley floor. By the mid-1850s, the landscape featured fenced pastures, corrals, cultivated fields, and various structural complexes as depicted on historic maps (Impact Science, Inc. 2014).

Another significant early settlement was on Charles M. Weber's land grant from the 1840s. By 1850, the incorporation of Stockton as a city had occurred, and by 1854, it boasted a population of 7,000, making it the fourth-largest city in the state. Stockton's location as a river port fueled its growth into a vibrant center of trade and commerce. The area saw significant development in freighting, staging, agriculture (primarily wheat and grains), livestock raising, and local commerce. By the 1860s, grains emerged as a major commercial crop, with Stockton becoming a pivotal shipping point for California's grain trade, much of which was destined for foreign markets (Impact Science, Inc. 2014).

The presence of the railroad also contributed to the growth of Placer County’s agricultural industry, mainly fruits and nuts, since the rail line provided access to a large market east of the Sierra Nevada (Impact Science, Inc. 2014).

Ripon Area
The initial European American settler in Ripon was William Hiller Hughes, who, in 1857, secured 160 acres of public land near the Stanislaus River in Dent Township, San Joaquin County (Gardner, 1957).

William, born in Greene County, Pennsylvania in 1821, spent his early years on his father’s farm before marrying Margaret Hill in 1845. They had a son named George F. During the late 1840s, they farmed in Pennsylvania, then moved to Missouri in 1849. Unfortunately, Margaret passed away in 1850, leading William to marry Eliza Jane Dye in 1851. The family journeyed to California in 1853, initially mining in Sonora before acquiring land near Ripon in 1857 to cultivate wheat and barley. Over the years, William expanded his holdings significantly, accumulating about 2,300 acres by 1875 (Shazo, 2022).

However, a bee epidemic in 1868 forced him to shift focus to grain farming (Shazo, 2022).

In 1870, William Hughes facilitated the establishment of a Southern Pacific railroad depot on his land, later renamed Ripon. A.B. Crooks, arriving from Wisconsin, opened the town's first store in 1874 and subsequently petitioned for a post office, becoming Ripon's inaugural postmaster (Shazo, 2022).

By 1884, Ripon boasted significant development, including a hotel, schools, stores, churches, and warehouses (Shazo, 2022). The region's agriculture initially focused on dry farming, primarily for droughtresistant crops like grain and cattle grazing. However, in 1895, irrigation systems like the Stanislaus and San Joaquin Water Company enabled the cultivation of fruit and nut crops (Shazo, 2022). The arrival of the South San Joaquin Irrigation District in 1909 led to the subdivision of large landholdings into smaller farms, transitioning Ripon towards row crops and dairy farming (Shazo, 2022).

RESEARCH METHODS AND FINDINGS

CALIFORNIA HISTORICAL RESOURCES INFORMATION SYSTEM
A California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) records search was conducted by the North Central Information Center at California State University, Sacramento to determine whether indigenous or historic cultural resources were previously recorded within the Project APE, the extent to which the Project APE has been previously surveyed, and the number and type of cultural resources within a 0.5-mile radius of the Project APE. The records search included the following sources:
• National Register of Historic Places: listed properties • California Register of Historical Resources: listed resources • Historic Property Data File for Placer County
• Archaeological Determinations of Eligibility
• Built Environment Resources Directory
• California Inventory of Historical Resources
• California Historical Landmarks
• California Points of Historical Interest
• Historical GLO land plat maps
Previous Studies
The records search identified four previous cultural resources surveys in the Project APE and seven previous cultural resources surveys in the 0.5-mile record search radius around it (Table 1).

SACRED LANDS FILE SEARCH
Natural Investigations requested a Sacred Lands File search from the Native American Heritage Commission to identify any sensitive Native American cultural resources in or near the Project APE and received the results of the NAHC search on March 21, 2024. The results of the SLF search were negative for sensitive Native American cultural resources in the Project area. The NAHC also provided contact information for tribal members and organizations affiliated with the region. Natural Investigations sent letters and maps to all tribal contacts included on the NAHC list on March 22, 2024, informing them of the Project and requesting any information regarding the Project area that they would be willing to share. If no response was received, follow-up phone calls were made on April 5, 2024. To date, no requests from those contacted have been made. Additional information on Native American outreach efforts undertaken for the Project is provided in Appendix A included with this report.

FIELD METHODS AND FINDINGS

METHODS
An intensive-level pedestrian survey was conducted for the project area by Natural Investigations archaeologist Dylan Stapleton on March 26-27, 2024 (Figure 1). The Project Area is comprised of 4.5 miles of linear road shoulder with a 30-foot maximum ROW buffer on either shoulder as the survey corridor and 21 acres of a laydown yard. The entire Project Area was intensively surveyed using transects spaced no greater than 15 meters apart.

During the pedestrian survey, all visible ground surface within the project area was carefully examined for cultural material (e.g. flaked stone tools, tool-making debris, stone milling tools, or fire-affected rock), soil discoloration that might indicate the presence of a cultural midden, soil depressions, and features indicative of the former presence of structures or buildings (e.g. postholes, foundations), or historic-era debris (e.g. metal, glass, ceramics). Ground disturbances (e.g. embankment, dirt roads, rodent burrows, etc.) were visually inspected. A digital camera was used to take photographs of the Study Area, a Munsell® Soil Color Chart was used to record soil color, and a handheld BE-5300-GPS global positioning system (GPS) unit with sub-meter accuracy was used to record locational data.

Packet Pg. 335 Attachment: Final IS/MND for the Ripon Water Supply Pipeline Project with appendices (4679 : Major Site Plan Permit for the Ripon Water THE JACK TONE PIPELINE PROJECT SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. 24 FINDINGS
The Project Area is comprised of a 30-foot buffer of the east and west shoulders respectively of Jack Tone Road and a 21-acre laydown yard. The Project Area is located within farmland in an open grassland environment and is situated in a low fan terrace setting. The Project Area is located along the east and west shoulders of north-south trending Jack Tone Road between French Camp Road to the north and East River Road to the south, near the City of Ripon in San Joaquin County, California. The shoulders along Jack Tone Road were a mixture of bare soil, paved driveways/entrances, gravel, and asphalt. There is a buried fiber optic line along the east shoulder of Jack Tone Road.

The Project Area of Jack Tone Road is bounded by agricultural lands/orchards, private residences, and farm complexes, while the laydown yard parcel is bounded by Jack Tone Road to the west, a private residence and agricultural land to the north, agricultural land to the south and Mistlin Sports Park to the east.

Elevations within the Project Area ranged from 59-65 feet above mean sea level. Vegetation was comprised of annual grass and forbs.

Visibility at the time of the survey was excellent (75-100%) (Photographs 1-10). Slope within the Project Area was low at 1%. Soils in the Project Areas were a Munsell grayish brown (10YR 5/2) loamy coarse sand and a pale brown (10YR 6/3) sand.

Evaluation of P-39-000095:

P-39-000095 was recorded and evaluated by Hatoff, Brian, et al.1993 and was not considered eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. According to Hatoff, “This portion of Canal T is effectively a post-World War II piece of engineering and retains no integrity or visual link to the pioneering settlement pattern in the South San Joaquin Irrigation District”. This segment of the Canal continues to serve as a modern, upgraded (concrete) irrigation feature. The resource has been adequately recorded and no other mitigation measures are required.

In summary, P-39-000095 does not retain integrity or visual linkage to the pioneering settlement pattern in the South San Joaquin Irrigation District does not meet the necessary criterion, and is not eligible for inclusion in the NRHP or the CRHR.

P-39-000096
This resource is Canal R of the South San Joaquin Irrigation District (Photograph 12). It is a concrete-lined canal nearly uniform in its geometry and scale measuring approximately 19 feet across. The canal crosses under Jack Tone Road, approximately 0.3 miles south of Highway 120 (Yosemite Avenue) and 100 yards north of Leroy Avenue. It was originally recorded by JRP Historical Consulting Services in 1993. The canal is an active irrigation canal for the agriculture fields in the area and is actively maintained.

POTENTIAL FOR BURIED ARCHAEOLOGICAL DEPOSITS
The Project APE rests upon the Modesto Formation, consisting of geologically recent sediments (i.e., around 12,000 years before present to the present). However, due to the highly disturbed nature of the APE (utility corridor), the likelihood of uncovering undisturbed subsurface archaeological deposits through Project implementation is low.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

CULTURAL RESOURCES
Within the Project APE, nine cultural resources were identified: two previously recorded features P-39- 000095 and 96; and newly recorded features NIC-2024-Jack Tone-01 through 07. These resources consist of infrastructure (canals and roads). Assessment of these resources finds that none are significant under any NRHP criteria or constitute historic properties as defined under NHPA Section 300308. Nor are they significant resources as defined under CEQA PRC Section 21083.2(g).

The SLF search for the Project was negative. Due to the highly disturbed nature of the APE (utility corridor), the likelihood of uncovering undisturbed subsurface archaeological deposits through Project implementation is low.

Consequently, Natural Investigations determined that a finding of No Historic Properties Affected pursuant to 36 CFR § 800.4 (d)(1) is appropriate for the Project. A finding of Less Than Significant is appropriate for the Project pursuant to CEQA. No mitigations are required.

PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES
The San Joaquin Valley contains exceptionally productive Pliocene-age (approximately 2 to 4.5 million years old) fossil-bearing beds, particularly in the western portions of the region. The rock deposits in this area produce a world-famous supply of paleontological treasures, including but not limited to abundant and perfectly preserved sand dollars, Pectens, and various freshwater mollusks. These fossils are entombed in the sediments deposited within a complex intergrading of fresh water, estuarine, and marine paleoconditions directly related to the last great inland sea that periodically inundated the modern Central Valley of California (Impact Sciences, Inc. 2014).

A record search of the Museum of Paleontology at the University of California in Berkeley indicated that 97 paleontological finds have been made in the County (UCMP 2020). Most specimens from the County

1.4.J.a
Packet Pg. 343 Attachment: Final IS/MND for the Ripon Water Supply Pipeline Project with appendices (4679 : Major Site Plan Permit for the Ripon Water THE JACK TONE PIPELINE PROJECT SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. 32 have been found in rock formations in the foothills of the Diablo Mountain Range. However, remains of extinct animals, such as mammoth, may be found in the predominant Modesto Formation but may also be found virtually anywhere in the County, especially along watercourses such as the San Joaquin River and its tributaries. None of the geologic units known to contain fossils in San Joaquin County have been mapped within the Project Area.

As no unique geologic features, fossil-bearing strata, or paleontological sites have been recorded within the Project Area, and the underlying metavolcanic rocks mapped in the Project Area are unlikely to contain fossilized remains, the paleontological resource sensitivity within the Project Area is estimated to be low based on SVP criteria (SVP 2010). No further paleontological resources work is recommended at this time.

INADVERTENT DISCOVERIES
Cultural Resources
Regardless of the findings for the Project, it is possible to inadvertently uncover cultural resources during ground-disturbing Project activities. In the event that cultural resources are inadvertently discovered during Project activities, work should be halted within 30 feet of the find and a qualified archaeologist (i.e., an archaeologist that meets the qualifications at 36 CFR Part 61) should be retained to assess its potential significance. Construction activities may continue in other areas, but may not resume in the area of the find until the significance of the find is assessed and it is appropriately treated. If the find is not significant no additional cultural resources investigations are necessary and Project work may resume in the area of the find. If the find is determined significant, additional cultural resources investigations, such as data recovery excavation, may be warranted and would be determined in consultation with the Project applicant, the County, appropriate Tribes, and any other relevant regulatory agencies or interested parties, as appropriate.

Human Remains
Although unlikely, the discovery of human remains is always a possibility. State of California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 covers these discoveries, except on federal lands. This code section states that no further disturbance may occur until the County Coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition of the remains pursuant to PRC Section 5097.98. The County Coroner must be notified of the find immediately upon discovery. If the human remains are determined to be of Native American origin, the Coroner will notify the NAHC, which will determine and notify a Most Likely Descendent (MLD). The MLD must complete an inspection of the site within 48 hours of notification and may recommend scientific removal and nondestructive analysis of human remains and items associated with Native American burials.

Paleontological Resources
In the event that a paleontological resource is inadvertently discovered during Project-related work, regardless of the depth of work or location, work must be halted within 30 feet of the find and a qualified paleontologist (SVP 2010) notified immediately so that an assessment of its potential significance can be undertaken. If the find is determined to be significant, it should be salvaged following the standards of the SVP (2010) and curated with a certified repository such as the UCMP

Re: Jack Tone Pipeline - 2072 Project, San Joaquin County Dear Ms. Arrington:

A record search of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File (SLF) was completed for the information you have submitted for the above referenced project. The results were negative. However, the absence of specific site information in the SLF does not indicate the absence of cultural resources in any project area. Other sources of cultural resources should also be contacted for information regarding known and recorded sites.

Attached is a list of Native American tribes who may also have knowledge of cultural resources in the project area. This list should provide a starting place in locating areas of potential adverse impact within the proposed project area. I suggest you contact all of those indicated; if they cannot supply information, they might recommend others with specific knowledge. By contacting all those listed, your organization will be better able to respond to claims of failure to consult with the appropriate tribe. If a response has not been received within two weeks of notification, the Commission requests that you follow-up with a telephone call or email to ensure that the project information has been received.

If you receive notification of change of addresses and phone numbers from tribes, please notify me. With your assistance, we can assure that our lists contain current information.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at my email address: [email protected].

Sincerely,
Pricilla Torres-Fuentes

PROPOSED
PROJECT:

Jack Tone Road Pipeline in San Joaquin County, California USGS
QUAD:

Manteca 7.5-minute Quadrangles: Sections 1, 6, 7, 23, 13, 18, 25, 30, 31, 36 of Township 1 & 2 south, Range 7 & 8 east of the Mount Diablo Base and Meridian ACREAGE: ~80
Natural Investigations Company, Inc. (Natural Investigations) was retained to provide cultural resource services in support of the Jack Tone Road Pipeline project, in San Joaquin County, California. The project location can be found on the attached Figure 1.

Project Description: The project proposes the installation of approximately 4.5 miles of a pair of new water pipelines along the right-of-way of Jack Tone Road. The two pipelines would be of polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, and would be approximately 18 inches in diameter. The project site is in the City of Ripon and the unincorporated area of San Joaquin County east of the city. The northern terminus would tie into an existing South San Joaquin Irrigation District (SSJID) pipeline, approximately 48 inches in diameter, conveying treated water from the Nick DeGroot Water Treatment Plant west of Woodward Reservoir in Stanislaus County. Where the proposed pipelines would tie into the SSJID pipeline, an air release valve would be installed at the end of each pipeline. The valves would be installed below surface grade and would be connected to the proposed pipelines via a three-inch diameter pipe. Pipeline construction would be confined to the existing right-of-way of Jack Tone Road; no additional acquisition of right-ofway would be required.

Sacred Lands File Search: The Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) returned the results of a Sacred Lands File search conducted for the Project, stating that records were negative for the presence of Native American

The NAHC recommended that we contact you for additional information on the potential for Native American cultural resources within or near the Project.

CHRIS File Search: Natural Investigations requested a records search of the California Historical Resources Information System by the Central California Information Center at California State University, Stanislaus to identify any previously recorded prehistoric or historic cultural resources and previously conducted surveys in the project area.

The CHRIS search identifies four previous studies have been conducted (1989-1998) in the project area and seven previous studies have been completed (1999-2011) within a 0.50-mile radius. Additionally, the CHRIS search shows two previously recorded historic-era resources (both lateral canals for the South San Joaquin Irrigation District) within the project area and three historic-era resources (railroad, vineyard, trash scatter) have been identified within the 0.50- mile radius.

We would greatly appreciate any comments that you may have on potential cultural resources in the area and invite you to raise any other concerns relating to the Project should you have them. All information provided regarding specific sites or Native American cultural resources will remain confidential. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email. We would greatly appreciate a response at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your assistance.

Thank you for reaching out to the Tribe about the proposed project. At this time the Tribe has no further information to supply about the proposed site for this plan. As always we encourage developers in our traditional territories to remain cognizant of the facts that our tribal people lived all over the Bay Area and because of colonization and genocidal practices that reached into the late 19th century and early 20thCentury,it is not always possible to know for certain if you may find cultural resources or burials at sites where you anticipate ground disturbance. The Tribe wishes to be contacted if there are any findings. 'Uni (Respectfully),

While NIC-2024-JackTone-01 may be of general local interest, it maintains none it its original integrity. NIC-2024-JackTone-01 is not associated with any known historic events or personalities. The road has been redesigned and compromised so that any potential noteworthy engineering and construction methods (size and length, presence of distinctive engineering features, structural integrity) are undetermined. The resource has been adequately recorded and will not be impacted by the current project.

In summary, NIC-2024-JackTone-01 does not retain integrity or visual linkage to the historic settlement pattern of the area and does not meet the necessary criterion and is not eligible for inclusion in the NRHP or the CRHR.

While NIC-2024-JackTone-07 may be of general local interest, it maintains none it its original integrity. NIC-2024-JackTone-07 is not associated with any known historic events or personalities. The road has been redesigned and compromised so that any potential noteworthy engineering and construction methods (size and length, presence of distinctive engineering features, structural integrity) are undetermined. The resource has been adequately recorded and will not be impacted by the current project.

In summary, NIC-2024-JackTone-07 does not retain integrity or visual linkage to the historic settlement pattern of the area and does not meet the necessary criterion and is not eligible for inclusion in the NRHP or the CRHR.

■ ■ ■
This resource is Canal R of the South San Joaquin Irrigation District. It is a concrete-lined canal nearly uniform in its geometry and scale measuring approximately 19 feet across. The canal crosses under Jack Tone Road, approximately 0.3 miles south of Highway 120 (Yosemite Avenue) and 100 yards north of Leroy Avenue. It was originally recorded by JRP Historical Consulting Services in 1993. The canal is an active irrigation canal for the agriculture fields in the area and is actively maintained.

P-39-000096 was recorded and evaluated by Hatoff, Brian, et al.1993 and was not considered eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. According to Hatoff, “This portion of Canal T is effectively a post-World War II piece of engineering and retains no integrity or visual link to the pioneering settlement pattern in the South San Joaquin Irrigation District”. This segment of the Canal continues to serve as a modern, upgraded (concrete) irrigation feature. The resource has been adequately recorded and no other mitigation measures are required.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Lisa Roos, City Clerk & Finance Director
Date: 05/13/2025
Subject: Chapter 5.08 Bingo
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

This Ordinance amends Chapter 5.08 “Bingo” to allow alcohol beverages to be served or consumed where bingo games are conducted and repeal sections of the Chapter referencing remote caller bingo games.

BACKGROUND:

The California State Constitutions does not give power to the State for lotteries, horse races, bingo or casinos. However, Article IV, Section 19(c) of the California Constitution authorizes cities to allow bingo games within their jurisdiction, but only for non-profit organizations, mobile home associations, senior citizen organizations, or school districts provided that proceeds of the bingo games are used solely for charitable purposes.

Penal Code 326.5 has further restrictions on how bingo can be conducted on the local level, which are summarized below:
 No person shall receive a profit, wage or salary from any bingo game.  Minors are not allowed to participate in any bingo game.  An organization authorized to conduct bingo games shall conduct a bingo game only on property owned or leased by it and which property is used by that organization for an office.
 Bingo games must be open to the public.
 Bingo games shall be operated and staffed only by members of the authorized organization.
 All proceeds from the bingo game are to be kept in a special fund or account.

The City of Ripon has adopted Chapter 5.08 of the Municipal Code to ensure that bingo games

2.A
Packet Pg. 395
within Ripon city limits are in compliance with the State law. In 2015, this Chapter was updated to conform with State law. As part of this update, a provision was added that precluded alcohol to be served by an organization conducting a bingo game. This provision is not a requirement of State law, nor was there any policy discussion regarding this item in 2015. Staff believes this may have been a carry-over from a model ordinance staff used for the 2015 update.

DISCUSSION:

Council Member Restuccia has requested the City Council consider amending Section

5.08.190.B.4 of the Ripon Municipal Code to allow alcohol beverages to be served or consumed during a bingo game (see attached Agenda Item Request Form).

Section 5.08.190 subsection B.4 states that, “No permittee organization or Bingo Manager shall permit any alcoholic beverages to be served or consumed in a room where a bingo game is conducted during or between the playing of the games.”
If the City Council supports amending the Ripon Municipal Code to allow alcohol beverages to be served or consumed during bingo games, staff suggests adding a provision that any organization conducting a bingo game obtain the appropriate permit from the Department of Alcohol Beverage and Control – see proposed amended language below:
“No permittee organization or Bingo Manager shall permit any alcoholic beverages to be served or consumed in a room where a bingo game is conducted during or between the playing of the games without the appropriate permit from the Department of Alcohol Beverage and Control.”
While staff was researching the state law, we found that Penal Code 326.3 regarding “remote caller” bingo games has been repealed. Staff is proposing that reference to these games be repealed from this Chapter.

The proposed amendment to Chapter 5.08 “Bingo” will amend this section of the Municipal Code to allow alcohol beverages to be served or consumed where bingo games are conducted and repeal sections of the Chapter referencing remote caller bingo games. There are no changes from first reading to second reading. Following is the proposed Ordinance recommended for second reading and adoption.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Kevin Werner, City Administrator
Date: 05/13/2025
Subject: Greater Stockton Chamber of Commerce
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Frank Ferral from the Greater Stockton Chamber of Commerce to introduce the Standing Together Against All Regional Theft (STAART) program and provide an update on the program’s success throughout San Joaquin County.

BACKGROUND:

STAART is a County and Chamber driven initiative designed to empower residents and businesses in the fight against retail theft through real-time technology, community engagement and cross-agency collaboration. Central to the program is the FastSTAART mobile app, which allows residents to report theft incidents directly to affected merchants, streamlining evidence collection and coordination with law enforcement.

Since its launch in San Joaquin County, STAART has achieved measurable success, including 519 reported theft incidents, 206 camera grants issued to small businesses, 159 businesses on boarded, over 2,000 residents actively using the app, and 61 workshops held with businesses and law enforcement. With plans for regional expansion, STAART aims to create a network of participating cities that share data, enhance business resilience and promote public involvement in tackling retail crime.
