3. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT NO. 2
Discussion/Action Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign Amendment No. 2 of the Subdivision
Improvement Agreement between the City
of Ripon and Lennar Homes of California
LLC to (1) provide the reimbursement of
cost in the not to exceed amount of
$756,092 for the full width extension of
Fulton Avenue beyond the Meadowood
conditions of approval and (2) process the
final map to allow Lennar Homes of
California LLC to construct 17 homes.

City Administrator Werner said the Meadowood subdivision was approved for 88 singlefamily homes on the west side of Fulton Avenue. He said there are two proposed changes to the Subdivision Improvement Agreement.

Werner said the first proposed change is in regards to Fulton Avenue. He explained that Fulton Avenue currently has four lanes between Arc Way and Boesch Drive, but then narrows to two lanes up to the Colony Road roundabout. He said as part of Meadowood’s approval, the developer, Lennar Homes, is required to widen Fulton Avenue to four lanes from Boesch Drive to the northern edge of the project.

Werner said the City asked Lennar to consider extending the four lanes all the way to Colony Road to improve safety and traffic flow, especially near the Shasta Avenue intersection. He said the design would add two southbound lanes and a left-turn lane at Shasta Avenue. The additional work would cost about $756,000 and would cover only street and road improvements, not landscaping.

Werner said staff is proposing that when the development north of Meadowood, known as the Meadowbrook project, is built, that project would reimburse the City for these costs. He said while the timeline is uncertain, the reimbursement would occur when Meadowbrook moves forward. He said the funds for the initial work would come from the City’s AB1600 transportation fee account, which currently has about $3.4 million.

Werner said the only other transportation project identified as a City Council priority through the capital improvement plan is the North Ripon Road/River Road signal project.

He said based on current estimates and available outside funding sources, there would be sufficient funds to complete both projects.

Werner said the second amendment to the subdivision improvement agreement would also allow Lennar Homes to record the final map and begin construction on 17 homes. He said the original agreement required that all on- and off-site improvements be completed before any home construction could begin. Werner said due to delays related to design work and the Fulton Avenue extension, staff is recommending that Lennar be allowed to proceed with 17 homes now. He said Lennar has agreed not to enter into any home sales City Council Page 11 October 14, 2025
agreements until all civil improvements are accepted by the City Council.

Council Member Restuccia asked how the reimbursement process works. Werner said depending on the project’s length, reimbursement may occur through periodic invoices or as a single payment for shorter projects.

Council Member Zuber said he was glad to see the road improvement moving forward.

When the project was first discussed, he went out to look at the area and noted that under the previous plan, traffic would have been weaving back and forth for about a block and a half. Zuber said the new design makes much more sense for the community, as it provides a completed roadway now rather than waiting years for future development.

Vice Mayor Barton said that the transition from Colony Road to Fulton Avenue has long been a tight turn where drivers often miss the curb, so the improvement will enhance safety.

Werner said Lennar Homes has been a great partner in this project.

Motion to approve and authorize the Mayor to sign Amendment No. 2 of the Subdivision Improvement Agreement between the City of Ripon and Lennar Homes of California LLC to (1) provide the reimbursement of cost in the not to exceed amount of $756,092 for the full width extension of Fulton Avenue beyond the Meadowood conditions of approval and (2) process the final map to allow Lennar Homes of California LLC to construct 17 homes.

REPORTS
Department Heads:

Planning Director Zuidervaart said there is Planning Commission meeting on Monday, October 20, 2025.

Public Works Director Pease said September water usage was down 14% from 2013 numbers and up 6% from last year’s number.

Pease said the Annual Brush Pick-Up Program starts October 15 and will run through January 7.

City Council:

Vice Mayor Barton said he appreciates the invocations. He said he especially appreciated tonight's invocation regarding being thankful for the rain.

Mayor de Graaf said that a month ago, following the last Council meeting, the community woke to the news of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. He said it remains difficult to talk about because Kirk stood for the principle of free speech and was known for engaging respectfully with those who disagreed with him.
de Graaf said it was meaningful to see the President honor Kirk posthumously with the nation’s highest civilian award, presented to his wife on what would have been Kirk’s birthday. He reflected on the impact Kirk had through his work and faith, saying it inspired him personally to be a better person, father, and leader.
de Graaf thanked everyone for attending the meeting.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:23 PM. (Signed) Daniel de Graaf

Vice Mayor Barton said that, in his experience, the meetings were not a good use of time and recommended waiting to pay the invoice until Council hears from the Partnership.

Council Member Restuccia said he previously served on the Partnership Board but stopped attending because the focus was mainly on Stockton and Tracy.

Zuber clarified he is not opposed to membership or paying the fee and that inviting the Partnership would be a good reminder that Ripon is part of the organization and an opportunity for the Partnership to highlight what they are doing for the City.

Barton said he would like to postpone payment of the San Joaquin County Partnership Invoice until the Council hears from a representative of the Partnership and at that time, the Council will make a decision on whether or not to approve the invoice.

Mayor de Graaf asked if there is a late payment penalty. City Administrator Werner confirmed there is not, as staff had just recently received the invoice.

Zuber said he does not want to see a long delay. He said he does not want to send a message saying something that we regret later. Barton agreed and said that if Council does not hear from the Partnership for six months, that is a message received. 1 Packet Pg. 17

Council Member Zuber said that the City had required developers to install landscaping and over time, much of it had fallen into disrepair. He said the recent improvements are beginning to achieve the effect Council intended when the landscaping project was approved. Zuber said that the City works hard to ensure that as Ripon grows, it remains a community people want to be in rather than simply functional.

A. RESOLUTION APPROVING THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT PERMIT FEE

SCHEDULE
RESOLUTION NO. 25-29

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIPON

APPROVING THE BUILDING

DEPARTMENT PERMIT FEE

SCHEDULE WITH ANNUAL

INDEXING
This is public hearing to consider adoption
of a resolution approving the Building
Department Permit Fee schedule.

Recommended Action:

Staff recommends that the City Council
adopt the resolution approving the Building
Department Fee Schedule and the indexing
of those fees, beginning January 1, 2027.

Planning Director Zuidervaart said this is a public hearing to consider adoption of a resolution approving the Building Department Permit Fee schedule. He explained that the Building Department safeguards the health, safety, and welfare of the community by reviewing and approving building plans, conducting inspections, and enforcing state and local building standards.

Zuidervaart said that the City does not currently maintain a formally published fee schedule.

Instead, fees are based on the 1994 Uniform Administrative Code, adopted by the City in 1996, and have not been updated since. He said rising labor costs, overhead, and regulatory requirements have increased expenses, and current fees now recover only 57% of the Department’s actual costs.

Zuidervaart said the proposed fee schedule is designed to reach a 90% cost recovery rate, which is consistent with best practices across California. Zuidervaart said this adjustment will help the Department maintain adequate staffing, meet community needs efficiently, and continue to provide responsive customer service.

Zuidervaart said that the new structure is based on nationally recognized valuation data from the International Code Council. This approach will simplify the fee calculation process, promote fairness, increase transparency for applicants, and ensure Ripon’s fees remain competitive with nearby jurisdictions.

Council Member Restuccia said he is pleased to see that the proposed permit fee schedule covers the cost of the Building Department. He said it is important to maintain the quality of Ripon.

PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
On behalf of the public, City Clerk Roos read the following public comment received via email:

Marty Harris shared that he and his wife are Ripon homeowners, joined by five of their children, their spouses, and 21 grandchildren. Citing a July 1, 2025 CalMatters article, he raised concerns about California’s rollback of environmental laws, which exempts certain high-tech and water projects from CEQA.
1 Packet Pg. 19
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Sep 9, 2025 6:00 PM (Approval of Minutes) City Council Page 8 September 9, 2025
Harris questioned what powers the City of Ripon has to assess and manage drainage and environmental impacts under the new law, who decides if CEQA applies, and who is ultimately responsible for downstream impacts: federal, state, local, or private parties. He also asked what new taxes might follow.

Harris said with SGMA mandates, rising housing demands, unstaffed firehouses, and aging infrastructure, he believes the best path forward is shared services and increased local investment by paying higher taxes. He asked otherwise, who will pay and who will take control of Ripon’s water rights.

PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED

4. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. TRASH IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Discussion/No Action Staff to discuss the Trash Implementation Plan to be submitted to the State Water
Resources Control Board as required by
the City's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer
Systems permit.

Public Works Director Pease said the State Water Board adopted “Trash Provisions” in 2015 to prevent trash from entering storm drains and waterways, including the Stanislaus River. Cities and counties must fully comply by 2030 through either Track 1 or Track 2 compliance methods. He said the City initially selected Track 1, which involved installing large Full Trash Capture Systems at stormwater outfalls, but the cost was estimated at over $2 million for installation with $80,000 in annual maintenance. He said in 2023, the City hired Stone Creek Environmental to prepare a Trash Implementation Plan and in 2024 notified the State of the decision to switch to Track 2, which is projected to cost less than $200,000 total by 2030.

Pease said Track 2 allows the City to survey trash levels in Priority Land Use areas, which include high density residential, industrial, commercial, mixed urban, and public transportation. He said of the 53 locations surveyed by staff and consultants in both wet and dry seasons, 51 were rated low for trash generation, meaning no further action is required. Only two locations, Santos and Jack Tone near a truck stop, and Frontage and Milgeo near the Highway 99 ramps, were rated at a moderate level. 1 Packet Pg. 20
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Sep 9, 2025 6:00 PM (Approval of Minutes) City Council Page 9 September 9, 2025
Pease said a moderate rating means some trash was visible but not at a level considered high or very high. Under the Plan, these areas must be surveyed three times per year until they achieve a low rating for three consecutive assessments, at which point no further action will be required. He said in the meantime, the City will increase street sweeping and provide outreach to local businesses to address trash accumulation.

Pease said if these measures are not successful by 2028 or 2029, the City may need to install Full Trash Capture Systems at catch basin inlets in those areas before the 2030 deadline. The cost of this work is estimated at $80,000 for installation and $10,000 annually for maintenance. He said the moderate locations together generate about 228 gallons of trash per year, which is the equivalent of 2.5 residential cans. The Plan will be submitted to the State Water Board, and staff will continue to monitor upcoming changes, including a revised stormwater permit expected in 2026.

Vice Mayor Barton said he admired staff’s approach to meeting the State’s requirements and asked if it would be possible to monitor more than three times a year in order to stay proactive. Pease confirmed that staff could do so and noted that City staff participated in the walkthroughs with the consultant to learn what to look for.

Council Member Restuccia said staff’s approach, with an estimated cost of $200,000, is a much better financial choice than the $2 million option.

REPORTS
Department Heads:

Police Chief Sauer said the Department participated in the Saturation Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) on August 19, 2025 along with multiple agencies within San Joaquin County with a total of 12 officers. He said STEP is aimed at reducing collisions by enforcing hazardous moving violations, including red light violations, speeding, distracted driving. He said that there were a total of 131 traffic stops conducted resulting in 117 citations over a period of about 8 hours. Sauer said STEP is a rotating monthly initiative in which law enforcement focuses on different cities throughout the County to improve traffic safety.

Council Member Zuber asked if the Department is still working on the scooter issue. Sauer confirmed. Council Member Zuber said he has noticed more of the kids wearing helmets but he is still receiving complaints about kids acting recklessly. Council Member Restuccia said he has also noticed that more of the kids in his neighborhood are wearing their helmets.

Planning Director Zuidervaart said there will be a Planning Commission meeting on September 15 where the Planning Commission will be considering a parcel map on North Jack Tone Road.

Zuber said he noticed that there was temporary fencing put up around the site near the Angle gas station and asked if that means construction is going to start. Zuidervaart said the contractor pulled a grading permit.

Public Works Director Pease reported that August water usage was down 13.5% compared to 2013 figures, and 1% from last year.

7. Vice Mayor Barton said he wanted to compliment staff on the newsletter that went out, specifically the article regarding how the City implemented the State requirement on trash separation. He said it is a great example of how staff tries to comply with State mandates and to do so at as low a cost as possible.

City Council:

Vice Mayor Barton said that while much of the news today focuses on violent crime in major cities, Ripon is fortunate not to experience that. He encouraged the community to keep the Police Department in their prayers, noting that the officers work hard to ensure Ripon remains a very safe city, something that can be easy to take for granted. He thanked the Chief and the Department for their efforts.

Mayor de Graaf thanked those who attended the meeting.

PUBLIC DISCUSSION:

1. TOPICS OF DISCUSSION
A. ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT ORDINANCE UPDATE
Discussion/No Action Staff to provide a comprehensive review of the history of Accessory Dwelling
Units within the City of Ripon,
highlighting key state-mandated
requirements introduced over the past
eight years.

Planning Director Zuidervaart provided a comprehensive history of California's Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) laws starting in 2016. He said since the City's ADU ordinance was updated, there have been over 13 new laws passed. Staff is recommending amending the ordinance to retain local control over non-exempt ADUs including setbacks, design guidelines, lot coverage, parking requirements, development impact fees and owner-occupancy requirements.

Vice Mayor Barton asked Zuidervaart to explain the difference between a state-exempt ADU versus a non-exempt ADU. Zuidervaart said under State law, every single-family property must be allowed to build a state-exempt ADU, and local governments cannot impose restrictions that would prevent it. He said a state-exempt ADU is defined as a detached unit of 800 square feet or less, with at least a four-foot side and rear setback. He 2 Packet Pg. 23
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Sep 26, 2025 10:00 AM (Approval of Minutes) City Council Page 2 September 26, 2025
said non-exempt ADU is any unit larger than 800 square feet. The current Code applies the same four-foot side and rear setback requirements to them, but staff is proposing stricter standards similar to those for detached accessory structures. He emphasized that the majority of ADUs built in town so far, roughly 99% of 50 units, qualify as stateexempt, with most under 750 square feet, in part to avoid full development fees.

Mayor de Graaf said people will build exempt units in order to avoid the fees and expressed concern about the State’s increasing role in overriding local development standards, noting that while communities establish standards to maintain character and manage infrastructure, state law requires cities to allow ADUs with few restrictions. He said Ripon is a special place and just because someone can build something, does not mean they should.

Council Member Restuccia asked for clarification regarding setbacks. Zuidervaart explained that front setbacks must match those of the primary residence. If a property cannot accommodate an 800-square-foot ADU under standard requirements, the City must reduce setbacks or similar standards to ensure that at least one 800-square-foot ADU can be built.

Council Member Zuber asked what the limit is as far as the number of ADUs and attached ADUs that can be built on one property. Zuidervaart said that state law permits one detached ADU and one attached ADU. The attached unit may be up to 50% of the primary residence or a maximum of 1,200 square feet. He said this could allow a singlefamily property to become a three-unit property. City Attorney Terpstra said the law is fairly clear that a lot may only hold one detached ADU and one attached ADU.

Barton said the State law leaves almost no room for cities like Ripon to consider neighborhood impacts, even though ADUs will inevitably affect community character.

He said when streets become crowded with parked cars, property values often decline and people may even start parking in front yards.

Zuidervaart said that the City has limited discretion to regulate non-exempt ADUs, while state-exempt ADUs must be approved ministerially with virtually no local control. Since nearly all ADUs fall into the exempt category, local standards will only matter in rare cases, but staff would like to update the ordinance so that staff may ensure the standards are upheld regarding non-exempt ADUs.

Barton said he agrees with staff’s recommendation regarding the ordinance updates and Council agreed.

Zuber said one of the controlling factors mentioned was whether the lot is multi-family or single-family and asked if there are any multi-family lots in town and if residents can request to change from one to the other. Zuidervaart said approval from the Planning Commission would be necessary to rezone a parcel from single-family to multi-family. de Graaf asked if an apartment building can build an ADU. Zuidervaart said yes, but it would have to be detached.

Zuidervaart said that after receiving direction from the Council on non-exempt ADUs, 2 Packet Pg. 24
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Sep 26, 2025 10:00 AM (Approval of Minutes) City Council Page 3 September 26, 2025
staff would finalize the draft ordinance and bring it to the Planning Commission for review. The Commission would make a recommendation to the City Council, which could adopt, amend, or otherwise modify the ordinance. He said once adopted, the ordinance must be submitted to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for review. HCD could require revisions if it determines the ordinance does not comply with state law, which could send the matter back to the City.

He estimated that the earliest a new ordinance might be completed is sometime next year.

Zuidervaart said that while the City has no authority to impose design standards on stateexempt ADUs, the units built in Ripon so far have generally been of good quality and appearance. Although owners could choose to build cheaply, he said most have produced units that fit reasonably well in the community.

Adam Corkins said the City should consider how to incentivize higher-quality ADUs rather than placing heavy burdens on non-exempt units that might push people toward the exempt category. He shared his own experience of trying to build a unit above a garage with better materials, only to have the plan rejected for not matching the existing structure.

Corkins encouraged the Council to view the ordinance not only as a tool to limit development but also as a way to create opportunities. He said as both an investor and a father of five, his goal is to strengthen the community, keep property values strong, and provide affordable housing so local young people can remain in Ripon.

Corkins described housing as a “ladder,” where families move up over time, and said the City should think about where that housing stock is best located to support future generations. He added that while he would not build an ADU in his own front yard, there are parts of town that need redevelopment and investment, and those areas could benefit from affordable housing options.

Ryan Van Groningen said he has built several ADUs and considers himself part of the 99% of typical projects. He urged the Council to look at the ADUs that have already been built, noting that while initial neighborhood concerns are common, most issues fade once the units are in place.

Van Groningen explained that ADUs often serve individuals or couples who want a small home with a yard rather than an apartment. He said the concept is not inherently bad, but acknowledged that it needs to be implemented correctly. He added that ADUs provide Ripon residents with lower-cost housing options at a time when alternatives are limited and expensive.

Restuccia requested a list of ADUs that have been built so he can go look at them. de Graaf said he was less concerned about property owners building quality units and more concerned about outside investors who might build without regard to neighborhood character.

Zuidervaart said he will provide Council a list of completed ADUs. 2 Packet Pg. 25

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve the current invoice in the amount of $60,251.03 representing the City of Ripon’s half of operating the Ripon Aquatic Center for Fiscal Year 2024-25.

The City of Ripon and the Ripon Unified School District (RUSD) have a joint powers agreement in place to operate and share costs (50/50) for the Ripon Aquatic Center.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The following table summarizes the City of Ripon’s share of operating expenses and income for fiscal years 2024-25 and 2023-24:

Description 2024-25 2023-24 Difference % Change
Salaries and Benefits $17,569.03 $20,943.16 ($3,374.13) -16% Materials and Supplies $27,957.61 $25,488.76 $2,468.85 +10% Services and Repairs $51,795.25 $45,940.79 $5,854.46 +13% Total Expenses $97,321.89 $92,372.71 $4,949.18 +5%

1.2.H.a
Packet Pg. 45
Attachment: Pool Invoice Staff Report 24-25 (4837 : Ripon Unified School District Pool Operations) Materials and Supplies: This includes pool chemicals and supplies. Inflation is the major cause of the increase for swimming pool chemicals and supplies.

Services and Repairs: This includes pool parts, pool plumbing, pool service, testing, repair service, operating fees for the co-gen plant, City of Ripon water fees and PG&E electric service.

The increase in the 2024–25 PG&E bill reflects the inclusion of both gas and electricity charges.

In 2023–24, only electricity charges were billed, which accounts for the higher amount shown in 2024–25.

Income: The City’s share of Income for FY 2024-25 decreased by 22% from the previous year.

This is the result of several years of back pay for pool use from the Ripon Sea Lions which increased the fiscal year income for last year. It is now back at the normal income level for 2024-

25. Swim programs currently offered and generating income include open swim, swim lessons, sea lions swim, club swim and club water polo programs.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The invoice balance due in the amount of $60,251.03 will be paid out of the City’s general fund.

Also, the City reimburses these employees coinsurance cost after the first $2,000 is paid by the employee. The maximum reimbursement by the City is $3,000 individual/$8,000 family, per year.
b. Includes healthcare, dental, vision, and chiropractic premiums.

Staff is recommending the 2026 premium baseline for Kaiser participants be increased from $2,050 to $2,205 and for Blue Shield participants to be increased from $2,050 to $2,285 per month. This baseline premium increase will increase the employee’s annual contribution by nearly 20 percent for both the employees enrolled in the Blue Shield and Kaiser “Employee + Family” category for calendar year 2026.

The fiscal impact to the City is an increase of $65,000 related to health and welfare program premiums.

Reimbursement of Employee Deductible and Co-Insurance
Starting in 2013, the City changed the previously offered Blue Shield Gold Plan to a Silver Plan, which provided a significant premium savings, although included a higher deductible and coinsurance requirement. The City agreed to reimburse the employees for 100 percent of the deductible cost and co-insurance cost, after the employee pays the first $2,000 of the coinsurance.

Below is a summary of the premium savings realized from switching from the Blue Shield Gold Plan to the Silver Plan compared to the actual deductible and co-insurance reimbursement cost.

This program has allowed the City to continue to provide a high level of healthcare benefit to the employee during a time when healthcare costs were experiencing significant cost increases.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The budgeted Fiscal Year 2025-26 expense for health and welfare benefits is $2,291,579. Since the health and welfare benefits are contracted by calendar year, the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget is only partially impacted by the 2026 health and welfare expenses.

The projected Fiscal Year 2025-26 expense for health and welfare benefits is $2,158,644 based on the actual quotes received for calendar year 2026 along with projected deductible reimbursement and employee premium contribution savings.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Kevin Werner, City Administrator
Date: 10/14/2025
Subject: Ripona Resurface Project Change Order #1
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve Change Order No. 1 to revise the project scope from a 3-layer resurfacing to a 3-inch grind and asphalt overlay and to include striping of a bike lane along Milgeo Avenue and potholing for utilities on Cobblestone Court, in the not to exceed amount of $137,392.50 (funding source: Streets and Road Fund).

BACKGROUND:

The Ripona Resurface Project was awarded to Knife River Construction at the May 13, 2025 City Council meeting in the amount of $1,521,980. The Ripona Resurface Project includes the resurfacing of various streets throughout the City of Ripon.

DISCUSSION:

During the design phase of the project, staff met with a contractor to determine the best construction method to rehabilitate the roads within the project area. Certain roads were oxidized to a point areas of the asphalt were raveling, creating loose aggregate. It was decided that the contract would include the 3-layer resurfacing method for these roads that includes a micro-surface layer of asphalt that will level the road and fill in small gaps, a chip seal that provides a thin structural later and, lastly, a slurry seal.

The contractor that was awarded the bid agrees that the 3-layer method would work, but he estimated it would only last a couple of years because the original asphalt will continue to shift and come apart with traffic, causing the 3-layers of resurfacing to break down faster than what we normally experience (8-10 years). Knife River Construction recommended the City provide a change order to do a 3-inch grind and asphalt overlay to increase the life of the improvement to the following streets rather than the 3-layer resurfacing method because of the level of oxidation:

Prospect Ave between Frontage Rd and Ridge Ave
California St between Frontage Rd and N Stockton Ave

1.4.A
Packet Pg. 88
Washington St between Frontage Rd and N Stockton Ave
Hillside Ave between N Stockton Ave and Ridge Ave
Sunrise Ave between Milgeo Ave and Hillside Ave
The additional cost for this change is $127,675.00
Additionally, staff requested a change order to add striping to the project of a bike lane along Milgeo Avenue between Acacia Avenue and Arc Way to increase the safety of this segment of roadway and improve the connectivity to other bike lanes. The additional cost for this change is $3,737.50.

Lastly, staff requested the contractor perform utility potholes on Cobblestone Court prior to the road being demolished to ensure there was not a conflict with residential utility connections that would delay the project. The additional cost for this change is $5,980.00.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The attached Change Order No. 1 is in the amount of $137,392.50 and will be funded through the Streets and Roads Fund. The amended construction contract price is shown in Table 1.

Subject: Pereira Plan Check Fee Agreement
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the Plan Check Fee Agreement between JKB Living, Inc. and the City of Ripon that will allow the City’s Engineering Department to begin reviewing the Pereira Residential Development Project’s civil improvement plans.

BACKGROUND:

The Pereira Residential Development Project (“Project”) is a single-family residential development planned on the property located on the north-east intersection of North Ripon Road and Boesch Drive. The Project includes the construction of 47 homes along with the various infrastructure improvements to support the development.

The Project was initially approved on March 10, 2020. On February 13, 2024, the City Council approved the Assignment and Assumption Agreement allowing JKB Living, Inc to purchase the Project and land.

The Planning Commission included the following Condition of Approval:

Proponent shall enter into a Subdivision Improvement Agreement with the City of Ripon.

This will incorporate all right-of-way and public utility easements, improvement security, plan check and oversight fees and general items required by the City. The agreement will need to be in place prior to the improvement plan review.

DISCUSSION:

JKB Living, Inc is not able to enter into the Subdivision Improvement Agreement until they obtain a loan for the project. As part of the loan approval process, the bank is requesting the budget for civil improvements, which relies on the civil improvement plans that are normally approved by the City Engineer after the Subdivision Improvement Agreement is approved by the City Council.

1.4.C
Packet Pg. 95
In order to complete the review and approval process for the civil improvement plans prior to the Subdivision Improvement Agreement, JKB Living, Inc is requesting the City enter into a Plan Check Fee Agreement that would allow the Engineering Department to begin the review and approval process for the civil improvement plans associated with the Project.

Attached is a Plan Check Fee Agreement that allows JKB Living, Inc to pay the nonrefundable plan check fee of $136,733 for the City Engineering Department staff to move forward with the civil improvement plan approval process, in accordance with the Conditions of Approval of the Development Agreement dated April 14, 2020 and the conditions of the approved Tentative Subdivision Map #S19-01.

Once the loan is approved, JKB Living, Inc would move forward with the Subdivision Improvement Agreement that will collect the remaining fees associated with the Project, provide the security for the improvements within the public right-of-way, and specify any other requirements of the Project.

Staff is recommending the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the attached Plan Check Fee Agreement and authorize staff to proceed with reviewing the civil improvement plans.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Daniel Sauer, Chief of Police
Date: 10/14/2025
Subject: Wireless Network Expansion - Tower Equipment
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve and authorize the purchase of wireless network equipment to be installed on the Ripon Communications Tower and Mistlin Water Tower in the not to exceed amount of $25,020.77 (funding source: Wireless Network Expansion Fund).

BACKGROUND:

The City currently operates a citywide point-to-point wireless camera network that transmits video from 100 cameras to the Police Dispatch Center. These cameras are located at various priority locations such as high-traffic intersection, areas with higher crime rates, and near water well sites. The camera video feeds are monitored and used by Police Department staff to investigate an incident that may occur.

Depending on the location of the camera, the wireless signal from certain camera locations (depending on line of sight) are transmitted to a nearby “collector” site before transmitting the signal to the server room at City Hall. The “collector” sites are currently located at the Ripon Police Department, Ripon Consolidated Fire District and Jack Tone Water Tower.

The wireless network that transmits these video feeds is currently experiencing slow connections, intermittent connectivity issues and frequent camera failures.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The City’s wireless network was analyzed by Ric Small from Waypoint Network Solutions and Michael Silva, a wireless connectivity contractor. The following upgrades are recommended to improve the reliability and functionality of the wireless network:
 Ripon Communications Tower: Install the equipment necessary for this location to be used as a “collector” site and transmit camera feeds to the server room at the Police Department.

1.4.D
Packet Pg. 167
 Mistlin Water Tower: Install the equipment necessary for this location to be used as a “collector” site and transmit camera feeds to the server room at the Police Department.  Police Department Tower: Install the equipment necessary to receive the communication feeds from the Ripon Wireless Tower and the Mistlin Water Tower.

Once these upgrades are completed, the City will be able to increase the bandwidth availability of the network.

Staff is recommending the City purchase the equipment necessary to make these upgrades (see attached) and hire the following contractors to complete the installation:
 E-tech Communication (see Agenda Item Wireless Network Expansion - E-tech Communication): Install the equipment, pull cables and align the communication devices. Cost: $8,459.55
 Grossi Electric, Inc (see Agenda Item Wireless Network Expansion – Grossi Electric, Inc): Install the step-down transformers, panel boards, and circuits to power the equipment. Cost: $11,340.98
The cost of the equipment to be furnished by the City is $25,020.77. Staff is recommending the City Council approve the purchase of this equipment and authorize staff to move forward with the upgrades.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of this project, including the purchase of equipment and the contractors to install the equipment, is $44,821.30. This will be funded by fees collected from new development designated for the expansion of the wireless network. The current balance in this fund is $47,700.

Subject: K-9 Argos Retirement and Adoption
RECOMMENDATION:

Accept the recommendation to retire Argos, Police Drug Detection/Apprehension/Tracking K-9, on October 15, 2025 and allow for the adoption of Argos by his handler, Officer Kyle Prather.

Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the Adoption Agreement with Officer Kyle Prather.

BACKGROUND:

Argos has been a member of the Ripon Police Department since December of 2020. After receiving a donation to purchase Argos, he was assigned to his handler, Officer Kyle Prather.

The two have spent approximately 44,000 hours together at home and as patrol partners. Argos has had a long and distinguished career as a police protection and narcotics dog. ‘‘Argos’’ has reached an age where his health is declining and his body will not tolerate active duty. His ability to continue to do police work at an acceptable level has come to an end and it is Ripon Veterinary Hospital's recommendation he be retired from service.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Staff has prepared an Adoption Agreement that is attached to this staff report. The Agreement was prepared using the Peace Officer Standards and Standard Training (POST) guidelines and the City’s risk management input. With this Agreement, Officer Kyle Prather would assume responsibility for any and all other associated care, liability, and expenses associated with Argos.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City would no longer pay for the annual care and maintenance associated with Argos (approximately $5,800) until such time another K-9 is purchased.

Date: 10/14/2025
Subject: Right of Entry Agreement - Ripon Mini Mart
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Accept the Right of Entry Agreement with Fred and Pamela Davidson in order to install a City camera connected to the wireless camera network on private property to be controlled and accessed by the Ripon Police Department.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The attached Right of Entry Agreement from Fred and Pamela Davidson allows the Ripon Police Department to install a camera that is connected to the wireless camera network on a private structure located on the property at 101 W. Main Street.

This location has been documented as a common route utilized by suspects and their vehicles when leaving the City after committing crimes. Installation of a camera at this site would provide the department with enhanced investigative capabilities by capturing both suspect activity and vehicle information, thereby strengthening efforts to deter and prevent crime within the community.

At present, the City does not have the necessary infrastructure in place to support the installation of cameras at this location. In order to address this need, the Police Department recommends partnering with private businesses. Such collaboration would allow expansion of camera coverage into key areas identified by staff, improving public safety, assisting in criminal investigations, and supporting the City’s overall crime reduction strategy.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The estimated cost for Public Works Department staff to install the security camera is approximately $300, which will be paid for through the General Fund. The cost of the camera to be installed is $5,840 and was previously purchased with the approved FY2024/25 budget paid for through the Department Capital Fund.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RIPON AMENDING THE SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY MULTISPECIES HABITAT CONSERVATION AND OPEN SPACE

PLAN (SJMSCP) DEVELOPMENT FEE
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Ripon adopted an Ordinance establishing the authority for collection of a Development Fee for the San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP) for all new developments pursuant to the SJMSCP within the City of Ripon; and
WHEREAS, a “Fee Study” dated July 16, 2001 was prepared which analyzed and identified the costs, funding, and cost-benefit of the San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the SJMSCP Development Fee is to finance the goals and objectives of the SJMSCP that include, but are not limited to preserve land acquisition, preserve enhancement, land management, and administration that compensate for such lands lost as a result of future development in the City of Ripon and in San Joaquin County; and WHEREAS, after considering the Fee Study and the testimony received at the public hearing, the Ripon City Council approved said report; and further found that the future development in the City of Ripon will need to compensate cumulative impacts to threatened, endangered, rare and unlisted SJMSCP Covered Species and other wildlife and compensation for some non-wildlife related impacts to recreation, agriculture, scenic values and other beneficial Open Space uses; and
WHEREAS, an “Updated Fee Study” dated 2006, 2011, 2016 and 2021 was prepared which analyzed and identified the costs and funding of the SJMSCP; and WHEREAS, the SJMSCP Development Fees are divided into three categories:

Category A - Acquisition; Category B - Enhancement; and Category C - Land Management / Administration; and
WHEREAS, the SJMSCP Development Fees for the three categories will be increased as shown on the attached Exhibit “A”; and
WHEREAS, to ensure that the SJMSCP development fees keep pace with inflation, annual adjustments are made to the fees based on the method previously adopted by the Ripon City Council.

2.A
Packet Pg. 231

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIPON, AS FOLLOWS:

1. The City Council finds and declares that the purposes and uses of the Development Fee, and the determination of the reasonable relationship between the fees’ uses and the type of development project on which the fees are imposed, are all established in Ordinance 648, and remain valid, and the City Council therefore adopts such determinations.

2. The 2026 Development Fee for the three categories of land – natural land and agricultural lands, vernal pool habitat, and multi-purpose open space conversion- shall be as set forth on Exhibit “A.”

3. The Fee provided in this resolution shall be effective on January 1, 2026, which is at least sixty (60) days after the adoption of this resolution.

PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Ripon this 14th day of October, 2025, by the following vote:

STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT: Approval of San Joaquin Multi-Species
Conservation an Open Spaces Plan
(SJMSCP) Five-Year Financial Analysis
Update and 2026 SJMSCP Development
Fee
RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1) Adopt the SJMSCP Five-Year Financial Analysis Update and 2) Approve 2026
SJMSCP Development Fees as Adjusted
Pursuant to the Financial Analysis Model
DISCUSSION:

SUMMARY:

Over the last many months, SJCOG, Inc. staff, Willdan and the Habitat Technical Advisory Committee (HTAC) Financial Subcommittee have engaged in the required five-year
financial update to the San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP). The
last review was in 2020. For the current 2025 update, the main areas of focus were the categories of the fee model regarding land costs to be used for mitigation (Category A), required restoration/enhancement costs on preserve lands (Category B), and monitoring, management and
administration of the program and preserves (Category C).

During the current review, the Financial Sub-committee kept the previously adopted financial model with the following minor alterations to the fee model and process. A summary of these changes is below; a more detailed explanation is provided in the Background section of the staff report
Category A:
1) Removal of “outliers” from comparable land sales data (those sales more than three standard deviations from the mean per acre price).
2) Easement purchase values are estimated to be 55% of full fee title land sale values (sales of land without habitat easements in place). This is a reduction from the previous assumption of 56% and is subject to review midway through the next five-year cycle.

2.A.a
Packet Pg. 233 Attachment: SJCOG Staff Report (25-34 : SJMSCP Fee Update - 2026) Category B:
1) Updated with the most recent SJMSCP reporting from 2024 Annual Report, including updated cost values for habitat enhancement projects on preserves, and review of the allocation of preserve land types purchased to meet the required mitigation under the habitat plan to ensure that development fees provide maximum value for fee payers and conservation.

Category C:
1) Updates to the administrative aspects of the plan, updated biological costs for project review, and updating of endowment account policy with investment strategies (e.g. a more diversified portfolio for higher yield on investment) for preserve funds.

The proposed 2026 SJMSCP development fees were adjusted using the recommended SJMSCP five-year financial model update for the respective categories and are compared to the 2025 SJMSCP Development fees (Table 1) in the most common habitat categories under the plan. The change is an overall increase of 8.3% in the most impacted categories of Agricultural and Natural Habitat Classifications from the prior year.

Table 1- Compared 2026 & 2025 SJMSCP Development Fees – Most Common Fee Habitat Types 2026 Fee Proposed 2025 Fee Adopted Difference Percent Change Agricultural/Natural $17,868 $16,492 $1,376 8.3%
The increase is due primarily to a rise in the land acquisition component (Category A) for agricultural land values of comparable sales and updating of current costs for land management and enhancement activities for on-going preserves (Category B).

RECOMMENDATION:

SJCOG, Inc. staff and the Habitat Technical Advisory Committee (HTAC) recommend 1) Adopt the SJMSCP Five-Year Financial Analysis Update and 2) Approve 2026 SJMSCP Development Fees as Adjusted Pursuant to the Financial Analysis Model FISCAL IMPACT:

Development fees provide funding for SJCOG, Inc. to provide biological coverage and mitigate project impacts covered under the SJMSCP permits for the subsequent calendar year beginning January 1, 2026. The resulting increase in fee revenue will offset increasing costs to acquire and manage preserve lands.

BACKGROUND:

For the current SJMSCP five-year financial analysis update review, SJCOG, Inc. staff, Willdan and the HTAC Financial Subcommittee (Table 2) reviewed the currently adopted model which estimates the costs of implementation for fulfillment of the SJMSCP permits and defines the three fee categories:

2.A.a
Packet Pg. 234 Attachment: SJCOG Staff Report (25-34 : SJMSCP Fee Update - 2026)  Category A – Acquisition
 Category B - Enhancement
 Category C - Land Management, Monitoring & Administration).

The three main areas of focus were the categories of the fee model regarding land costs to be used for mitigation, required restoration/enhancement costs on preserve lands, and monitoring, management and administration of the program and preserves.

The HTAC Financial Subcommittee maintained the formula model for fee calculations to allow for response to market fluctuations and cost changes which need to be reflected in the mitigation fee. The formula is still categorized into three distinct components to better calculate an accurate fee per acre [FEE = Category A (acquisition) + Category B (assessment & enhancement) + Category C (management, monitoring & administration)].

Category A (acquisition) – Comparable Land Sales
This category is directly related to land valuation based on comparable land sales in San Joaquin County in specific zones of the plan area (Central Zone, Central Southwest Transition Zone and Delta Zone) over an established 2-year period
meeting the established criteria used for comparable land sales (attachment 1). Cost estimates for this category will continue to be evaluated on a yearly basis by taking all qualified fee title comparable sales in each zone to set a weighted cost per acre like the methodology in the financial analysis updates prior but excluding any outliers (costs above or below 3 standard deviations of the mean).

This fee model update also revises the fee title/easement valuation percentage method for determining the cost of easement acquisition in the model to be lowered to 55% with a mid-term cycle review during the five-year term between updates, based on the easement data collected by SJCOG, Inc. staff.

2.A.a
Packet Pg. 235 Attachment: SJCOG Staff Report (25-34 : SJMSCP Fee Update - 2026) The model update results in a 15.1% increase in the Agricultural/Natural Habitat types of Category A (Acquisition) component to be $11,056.00. The reason for the increase is the rise in comparable fee title land sale values.

Category B (assessment & enhancement) – Refined Cost Factors The recommended changes to this category include updated and refined cost factors for biological site assessment, preserve enhancement and management planning, and preserve enhancement unit costs. These unit costs reflect current assessment of enhancement practices for different types of preserve lands. In addition, the updated analysis redistributes preserve acres between grasslands and agricultural land types to more accurately reflect the mitigation purposes described in the adopted SJMSCP with the application of California CPI as an adjustment mechanism.

However, the total cost for Category B is also a function of the SJMSCP Annual Report data updated annually with the acres remaining to be acquired and the number of years remaining in the permit term. The fee per acre is a function of those total calculated costs and the land conversion acres remaining.

The model update results in a 2% increase in the Agricultural/Natural Habitat types of Category B (Assessment & Enhancement) component to be $6,185.00.

Category C (Management, Monitoring & Administration) – Refined Cost Factors/Long Term Investment
The recommended changes to this category include refined monitoring cost factors and updated management and administration cost factors that are based on analysis of SJCOG, Inc. spending in these categories. The update includes refinement of the postpermit endowment costs and continuing with a more robust diversified endowment investment strategy for a higher return on investment yield that provides for a net annual yield of 3.66% after absorbing inflation and management costs.

Annual cost updates will continue to use the California Consumer Price Index (CPI), as reported by the California Department of Finance, for the preceding 12-month fiscal year (e.g. June – June) to keep up with inflation on an annual basis.

2.A.a
Packet Pg. 236 Attachment: SJCOG Staff Report (25-34 : SJMSCP Fee Update - 2026) The model update results in a 23.3% decrease in the Agricultural/Natural Habitat types of Category C (Management, Monitoring & Administration) component from prior years to be $627.00.

In summary, the 2026 SJMSCP fees (Attachment 2 - SJMSCP Cost and 2026 Fee Analysis) are calculated using the updated financial analysis formula model as displayed in the graphic below:

Table 4 below shows the proposed 2026 SJMSCP development fees in each habitat type category. The overall result in the fee analysis is an 8.3% increase in the most impacted classifications (Agricultural and Natural Habitat Classifications) fees for 2026.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Kevin Werner, City Administrator
Date: 10/14/2025
Subject: Lennar Subdivision Improvement Agreement - Amendment No.2 RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign Amendment No. 2 of the Subdivision Improvement Agreement between the City of Ripon and Lennar Homes of California LLC to (1) provide the reimbursement of cost in the not to exceed amount of $756,092 for the full width extension of Fulton Avenue beyond the Meadowood conditions of approval and (2) process the final map to allow Lennar Homes of California LLC to construct 17 homes.

BACKGROUND:

The Meadowood Residential Subdivision project was approved on February 13, 2018 to develop 88 single family residences west of Fulton Avenue. As part of the Conditions of Approval, the developer is required to construct the full-width Fulton Avenue along the project’s frontage.

Also, the final map is not to be recorded until all civil improvements, including the off-site improvements have been accepted by the City Council.

At the August 13, 2024 City Council meeting, Council approved the Lennar Homes Subdivision Improvement Agreement between the City of Ripon and Lennar Homes of California LLC to guarantee the completion of improvements within the public right-of-way in accordance with the previously approved Development Agreement.

At the August 12, 2025 City Council meeting, Council approved Amendment No. 1 to the Lennar Homes Subdivision Improvement Agreement, which formally assigned to Lennar the rights previously granted to the City under the existing Master Encroachment Agreement between the City and South San Joaquin Irrigation District.

DISCUSSION:

The Lennar Subdivision Improvement Agreement Amendment No 2 addresses two project requirements.

3.A
Packet Pg. 242
Fulton Avenue Improvements
The Meadowood Conditions of Approval requires the developer to complete the Fulton Avenue 102-foot width improvements according to City Standards along the frontage of the Meadowood Project. These improvements will provide a 4-lane Fulton Avenue, which would transition to the existing 2-lane roadway north of the project.

Lennar Homes submitted civil improvement plans, which included the 4-lane Fulton Avenue improvements along the Meadowood project. After reviewing the planned transition to the existing 2-lane Fulton Avenue at the northern project limits, staff requested Lennar Homes explore extending the 102-foot width improvements to the Colony Roundabout to improve the safety and function of the roadway.

Since the Fulton Avenue improvements are not a Meadowood Condition of Approval, the City would reimburse Lennar Homes for these improvements. The reimbursement amount is $756,092, which does not include the landscaping along the section of Fulton Ave between the northern Meadowood project limits and the Colony Roundabout.

Phasing of Final Map
The Subdivision Improvement Agreement requires the developer to complete all civil improvements, including Fulton Avenue offsite improvements, before the final map is processed.

Lennar Homes has experienced delays completing the civil improvements. Lennar is requesting the Final Map be processed prior to the City Council accepting the civil improvements so they can move forward with the construction of 17 homes.

Lennar Homes has agreed to not enter into any sale agreements for the 17 homes until all civil improvements have been accepted by the City Council, including the Fulton Avenue extension.

Recommendation
Staff is recommending the City Council approve the Lennar Homes Subdivision Improvement Agreement No. 2, including the reimbursement of $756,092 for the extension of the 4-lane Fulton Avenue from the northern Meadowood project limits to the Colony Roundabout and process the final map to allow Lennar Homes to construct 17 homes.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The reimbursement for the Fulton Avenue improvements between the Meadowood project northern limits and the Colony Roundabout would be from the Transportation AB1600 Fund (current balance: $3,400,000). This does include certain improvements that would be the responsibility of the Meadowbrook developer to fund. Once the developer of the Meadowbrook project moves forward, the City would be reimbursed for these items.
