2. PUBLIC HEARINGS
Council will take action on the following items at the conclusion of each Public Hearing.

A. WATER, SEWER, AND GARBAGE UTILITY RATES FOR 2026-2030 This is a public hearing to take written and
oral comments and consider all Protest
Ballots opposing the proposed water,
sewer, and garbage utility rate increases
for 2026-2030.

All protest ballots must be received
prior to the close of the public hearing
to be considered valid.

City Administrator Werner said this is a process the City goes through every five years to ensure our three enterprise funds for water, sewer, and garbage are receiving sufficient revenue. He said the City hired a consultant to prepare a report and that report was presented at a workshop on October 30, 2025. Werner said that following that discussion, the report was updated and the rates were sent out in the notification to the City customers.

Werner said on November 10th, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution 25-36 in accordance with Proposition 218 to increase the water, sewer, and garbage rates as of February 1, 2026 over the next five years. He said even with the rate increases approved for the 2026 year, our rates are 11% lower than those other cities around us that were surveyed. He said Resolution 25-36 set the public hearing for tonight.

Werner said in accordance with the Proposition 218 process written notices were sent to property owners. This included the proposed rates, the date of the public hearing and instructions regarding protest ballots. He said anyone who would like to submit a ballot needs to do so prior to the close of the public hearing tonight. Werner said the Proposition 218 process requires a 50% + 1 majority protest to oppose the proposed rate increases.

City Council Page 8 January 13, 2026

PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
No one from the public wished to speak at this time.

PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
City Clerk Roos said at this time in order to oppose the rate changes there would need to be 2,697 protest ballots. At this time there are under 100. Therefore, a majority protest is not present. Because there is not a majority protest present, the new rates for 2026-2030 will be implemented per Resolution 25-36.

3. ORDINANCES

4. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC STUDY
Discussion/No Action Staff to present findings and
recommendations from the 2025
Engineering and Traffic Survey.

City Administrator Werner introduced Civil Engineer Tech Ulrich, who completed the 2025 Engineering and Traffic Study.

Ulrich said the purpose of the Engineering and Traffic Survey is to establish reasonable and safe operating speeds within specific sections of roadway. He explained that 25 miles per hour (mph) is the legal default speed limit in residential, business, and school zones, and that any change to this limit requires completion of an Engineering and Traffic Survey. He added that once a speed zone is established or modified, a new survey must be conducted every five years, unless an extension is permitted under certain conditions.

He noted that without a valid survey, the posted speed limit becomes unenforceable and may be considered a speed trap.

Ulrich said the survey process requires three major elements, beginning with prevailing speeds, which are determined by measuring a minimum of 100 free-flowing vehicles using radar from an unmarked vehicle. He explained that the 85th percentile speed, based on the Solomon Curve, is used as a key benchmark. He added that collision history and traffic and roadside conditions are also evaluated, including adjacent land uses, roadway configuration, striping, visibility issues, and pedestrian and bicyclist safety considerations.

Ulrich said data was collected for 41 separate roadways in both directions, and that once collection was complete, the raw data was compiled along with updated collision histories and notable roadway conditions. He explained that under the California Vehicle Code, this information allows local jurisdictions to set speed limits at the 85th percentile, adjust the limit up or down to the nearest five-mile-per-hour increment without justification, or further reduce the speed limit based on documented factors such as collision history, roadway geometry, and pedestrian or cyclist safety. He added that the City also considered speed limit continuity along corridors when evaluating recommended changes.

Ulrich said that based on the results of the Engineering and Traffic Survey, changes to posted speed limits are recommended for five roadway segments including: Fourth St from S. Stockton Ave to Dead End, raise from 25 mph to 30 mph, Garrison Way from Maple Ave to Kamps Way, raise from 25 mph to 30 mph, Hoff Dr from Colony Rd to Santos Ave, raise from 25 mph to 35 mph, Parallel Ave from Reynolds Ave to E. Main St, raise from 25 mph to 30 mph and Santos Ave from Hoff Dr to Frontage Rd, raise from 25 mph to 35 mph.

Council Member Restuccia asked if Chief Sauer was okay with this. Sauer said yes, he was part of several conversations with staff.

City Council Page 10 January 13, 2026
Restuccia asked how many signs will need to be replaced. Ulrich said he was not sure but it will be a minimal cost.

Mayor Barton said regarding the proposed increase on Hoff, it seems like 30 mph might be a better speed than 35.

Council Member Zuber said he was impressed that out of all the streets that were observed, only five streets had speed limits that needed to changed.

REPORTS
Department Heads:

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

Public Works Director Pease said he wanted to address the issue of Chromium-6 related to Well

19. He explained that as a municipal drinking water system, the City operates under Federal and State regulatory requirements established by the Environmental Protection Agency and the State Department of Drinking Water. He said the City is currently meeting all applicable requirements and remains committed to full regulatory compliance through routine monitoring and sampling.

He noted that a notice was issued last week regarding the detection of Chromium-6 at Well 19, adding that the City has been monitoring this condition for some time and is required to eliminate any exceedances by October 2027. He stated that staff fully anticipates meeting that deadline and is developing a compliance plan for submittal to the State for approval. Pease said the City has received several public inquiries and that residents have been directed to the City’s website for additional information. He added that staff is preparing an additional fact sheet to address common questions. He said the City is required to sample Well 19 on a quarterly basis and that results are expected to remain consistent, as compliance is based on an annual average.

He explained that if quarterly sampling results exceed the threshold for the annual average, another public notification will be issued.

Council Member de Graaf asked if brush pick-up could be extended by one more week in the future. Pease said the date is set by ordinance, but staff will look into it.

City Council:
de Graaf said he wanted to thank everyone who attended the meeting.

Council Member Restuccia said he wanted to wish everyone a happy new year.

B. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT (GP25-128) AND REZONE (Z25-127) RESOLUTION NO. 25-40

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIPON

APPROVING A GENERAL PLAN MAP

AMENDMENT TO ALLOW FOR THE

REZONING OF THE PROPERTIES
LOCATED AT 1408 AND 1444 W. MAIN
STREET (APN'S 259-090-27 AND 259-
090-28)
This is a public hearing on a request to
amend the General Plan Land Use
designation and zoning classification on
two parcels located at 1408 and 1444 W.

Main Street.

Recommended Action: Should the City
Council agree with the Planning
Commission and Staff recommendations,
the following motions would be
appropriate:

1. Approve the 1408 and 1444 W.

Main Street General Plan Land Use
Map Amendment (GP25-128) and
adopt the attached resolution; and

2. Affirms the Planning Commission's
determination that the project is
categorically exempt from CEQA
pursuant to Sections 15061(b)(3)
(Common Sense Exemption) and
15301 (Existing Facilities), as
discussed in the staff report.

Vice Mayor Uecker left the meeting.

Planning Director Zuidervaart provided an overview of the proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezone for the properties at 1408 and 1444 West Main Street. The request seeks to change the zoning from Professional Office (PO) to Community Commercial (C2), aligning with the City’s long-term vision for strengthening the West Main Street corridor. He said the C2 designation would expand opportunities for retail and service-oriented businesses while still allowing professional office uses to continue, offering greater flexibility for both the property owners and the community.

Zuidervaart said that the applicant is requesting the C2 zoning to allow a small animal veterinary clinic within a portion of the building at 1444 West Main Street, as veterinary hospitals are not permitted under current PO zoning. He said a detailed parking analysis showed that the combined building area of 15,502 square feet requires a maximum of 65 parking spaces under conservative commercial standards, and the site currently provides 67 spaces. He said even with the proposed clinic, parking remains adequate, and the City will continue to review future tenant changes to ensure no parking or circulation impacts occur.

Zuidervaart said that while community commercial uses can generate higher trip volumes, the appointment-based nature of the veterinary clinic and the corridor’s arterial design ensure traffic can be accommodated without reducing service levels. He said the proposal aligns with General Plan goals for corridor revitalization and community-serving land uses. He said the Planning Commission held a public hearing on November 17, 2025, received no opposition and unanimously recommended approval.

Council Member Restuccia said he did not support changing the zoning, saying that he believed the area was properly zoned when originally adopted. He expressed concern that rezoning one building among several would amount to spot zoning and could create longterm issues. He emphasized that parking in the complex is already insufficient based on his personal experience and argued that higher-intensity C2 uses, such as veterinary clinics, retail, or restaurants, would put additional pressure on the surrounding buildings. He added that while he is willing to correct zoning mistakes, he does not believe this area is mis-zoned, and he questioned the compatibility of a veterinary clinic near restaurant uses. He said he worries about the types of future uses that might be approved once the zoning is changed and how those could further strain parking and traffic.

Zuidervaart said that only two of the buildings are zoned Professional Office and explained that the third building on the corner is already zoned Community Commercial. He stated that parking on the site meets requirements and that concerns about future uses can be managed because the City can deny permits that exceed available parking. He acknowledged that parking generation manuals are imperfect but noted they provide a consistent benchmark for evaluating uses.

Zuidervaart confirmed that there was no opposition during the Planning Commission hearing and explained that parking impacts vary from business to business, just as they do at other sites in town.

Council Member de Graaf said he shared concerns about parking and asked whether certain C2 uses could overwhelm the site or be inappropriate for the area. He also asked whether the waste generated by a veterinary clinic had been evaluated and what recourse the City would have if parking became a problem after a business opened.

Zuidervaart said the City could deny high-demand uses like restaurants if they would exceed available parking and explained that medical waste requirements fall under separate regulations. He added that a new trash enclosure would be required on-site.

4. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
Discussion/Action City Council to approve the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of
Ripon and Ripon Consolidated Fire
District that establishes each agency’s role
in the Fire District’s pursuit of a fire
suppression assessment pursuant to
Proposition 218, including the sharing of
cost on a 50/50 basis.

City Administrator Werner said that in 2021, the City and the Ripon Consolidated Fire District entered into a memorandum of understanding that defined each agency’s roles as the District pursued a Proposition 218 assessment to increase operating revenue. He explained that, as part of that agreement, the City and the District shared consultant costs equally. He noted that the assessment ultimately failed in August 2024 because it did not receive the required majority approval.

Werner said the Fire District has now decided to move forward with another Proposition 218 fire suppression assessment to secure additional operating revenue. He stated that the City Council and the District’s 2x2 committee have reviewed the matter and are 1 Packet Pg. 20
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Dec 9, 2025 6:00 PM (Approval of Minutes) City Council Page 11 December 9, 2025
recommending approval of a new memorandum of understanding, similar to the previous one that would again split costs on a 50/50 basis.

Werner said the District has already received consultant proposals for the required engineer’s report and that the total estimated cost is just under $119,000. He noted that the City’s share under the proposed cost split would be just over $59,000.

Fire Chief DeHart said he appreciated the opportunity to speak and noted that the staff report accurately outlined how the District reached this point. He explained that the District attempted a Proposition 218 assessment last year, but it did not pass. Despite the setback, he said the District regrouped quickly and began evaluating what was needed to continue providing adequate service to residents of both the City of Ripon and the broader District.

DeHart said the District ultimately concluded that raising revenue was the only viable path forward. After reviewing all options, he said they determined there were only two mechanisms available: a special tax, which would require approval from two-thirds of the District’s registered voters, or a benefit assessment under Proposition 218, similar to the prior attempt, which would be determined by property owners. He said a committee of 20 to 25 residents, called the “With Ripon Fire” committee, has been working closely with the District to help guide the next steps.

DeHart said the District serves 56 square miles with just one fire station, one engine staffed with two personnel, an ambulance staffed with two personnel, and a battalion chief overseeing operations. He described how the District is overwhelmed by concurrent calls, noting that last year there were 528 instances where new calls came in while personnel were already responding to another emergency. He said that when the District cannot respond, surrounding agencies such as Manteca, Escalon, or Salida must step in, resulting in response times as long as 14 to 16 minutes, delays he called unacceptable. He said the only true solution is funding to staff a second engine.

DeHart said one of the most common messages he heard during the previous Proposition 218 effort was that residents did not understand the Fire District, its operations, or its challenges. He said his goal this time is to ensure the opposite, that by the end of the process, residents will be fully informed. He said he has held five town hall meetings and has spoken to any group willing to invite him, including HOAs and civic clubs, focusing primarily on educating the public about the District’s history, structure and service demands.

DeHart said the District learned a great deal from the previous assessment, including where support was strong and where it was lacking. He said the District has detailed voting data that identifies its weak areas and the concerns frequently raised by property owners, such as tax fatigue. He said the District plans to adjust the proposal where legally permissible while still ensuring that the revenue generated will meet operational needs.

He said the target timeline is to mail ballots in late May and collect them by August 1 so the assessment could be included in the 2026–27 tax roll.

DeHart said the District has hired SCI, a California-based consulting firm, to guide the process and determine whether the tentative timeline is achievable. He emphasized that the District will follow the consultant’s recommendations, as it is critical to get the 1 Packet Pg. 21
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Dec 9, 2025 6:00 PM (Approval of Minutes) City Council Page 12 December 9, 2025
proposal right; if this second attempt fails, he said it would be extremely difficult to pursue a third effort immediately afterward. He concluded by stating that the District has applied everything learned from the previous attempt and thanked the council for considering the item.

Council Member Restuccia said he appreciated how hard DeHart had been working on the assessment effort, noting that although the public may not know all the details, more residents are becoming aware that the District is facing challenges. He said that because the fire department always shows up when called, people often assume everything is fine.

Restuccia emphasized the importance of ensuring ballots are signed correctly this time, reminding DeHart that many ballots were disqualified in the last attempt because signatures were placed on the wrong line.

Restuccia said he had also spoken at some of the outreach events about ISO ratings and believed this should be emphasized more strongly to the community. He explained that the District’s current ISO rating of 3 could worsen if response times continue to increase.

He said a higher rating would raise homeowners’ insurance premiums, but that increase would not prevent fires, it would only affect reimbursement after losses. He said it may cost residents less to support the assessment than to absorb future insurance hikes, and he encouraged the District to highlight that cost-benefit comparison.

Council Member de Graaf said he appreciated everything the DeHart had done to promote the District and acknowledged the extensive outreach efforts already underway.

He said he regularly worked with Proposition 218 processes and felt the DeHart had gone above and beyond in communicating with the public.
de Graaf said that although the consultant’s proposal appeared expensive at first glance, the scope of work and the firm’s background suggested they were well qualified and likely the right choice for this assessment. He said their approach seemed aligned with what the District needs to ensure the measure has a chance of passing. He concluded by encouraging DeHart to continue engaging with the community and reinforcing the message about the District’s needs.

On behalf of the public, City Clerk Roos read the following public comment received via email: Jim Dachenhaus said the agenda item listed online as “Memorandum of Understanding” was insufficiently descriptive and not transparent under the Brown Act.

Dachenhaus stated that the title did not clearly indicate that the item related to shared costs associated with a fire assessment process under Proposition 218. Dachenhaus said that the vague title could be viewed as misleading and that agenda titles should fully inform the public of the business being considered.

Dachenhaus also expressed opposition to the fire assessment and any related cost increases, noting that other cities with larger populations successfully operate with a single fire station. Dachenhaus stated that many seniors in Ripon are on limited incomes and cannot afford additional financial burdens. He concluded with a request for clearer and more transparent agenda titles in the future.

Werner said staff reviewed the concerns and confirmed that the agenda language is compliant with the Brown Act. He explained that the issue raised stemmed from how the item appeared on the City’s website, not from the official agenda before the Council. He said staff communicated this clarification directly to the resident who submitted the comment and referred him to the formal agenda description, which meets legal requirements.

Motion to approve the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Ripon and Ripon Consolidated Fire District that establishes each agency’s role in the Fire District’s pursuit of a fire suppression assessment pursuant to Proposition 218, including the sharing of cost on a 50/50 basis.

B. SAN JOAQUIN ONE VOICE ADVOCACY TRIP 2026
Discussion/Action If the City Council is interested in sending a representative or representatives to
participate in the 2026 One Voice trip,
please designate and approve the City’s
representative(s) to attend.

City Administrator Werner said San Joaquin One Voice is San Joaquin Council of Government’s (SJCOG) federal advocacy program for San Joaquin County that promotes projects, programs and issues of regional significance to federal legislators and agencies typically through an annual trip to Washington, D.C.

Werner said the City of Ripon does not have a project that meets the criteria identified by SJCOG for a project submittal for the 2026 One Voice trip. He said SJCOG will be submitting a regional project that impacts the City of Ripon, which is the State Route 99/120 Connector Project, Phase 1B. He said Phase 1A of the project, which addresses eastbound SR 120 and southbound SR 99, is entering the construction phase. Werner said SJCOG’s intent is to complete the design and right-of-way phases of Phase 1B during the Phase 1A construction period, allowing Phase 1B to enter construction seamlessly upon the completion of Phase 1A.

Council discussed and agreed to send Mayor Barton as the Ripon representative. Barton said he would be willing to attend.

Motion to authorize a Council Member to attend the One Voice Advocacy Trip in May 2026.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Lisa Roos, City Clerk & Finance Director
Date: 01/13/2026
Subject: TDA Audit FYE 6/30/2025
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

This resolution accepts the City of Ripon Transportation Development Act Fund, the Measure K Fund and the Transit Enterprise Fund Audit Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, prepared by Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP (LSL, CPAs).

BACKGROUND:

This audit is required by San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) because the City of Ripon receives Transportation Development Act, Measure K and Transit funds. LSL, CPAs does an audit of all funds for SJCOG and audits each city that rolls up into SJCOG’s consolidated audit.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The audit of the City of Ripon Transportation Development Act Fund, the Measure K Fund and the Transit Enterprise Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 has been completed by LSL, CPAs. As noted in the audit letter to the City Council, there were no difficulties encountered between the auditors and staff, and no disagreements between management and the auditors.

However, there was a significant audit finding related to internal controls referenced in the letter and on page 21 of the audit that the City was able to correct in 2025. The City of Ripon financials are based on a cash basis accounting methodology, where revenues and expenses are recorded when cash is received or paid. The TDA audit requires the accounting to be done using an accrual methodology. In order to satisfy this requirement, City staff manually does the accruals. During the audit period, an expenditure of $7,735 and a revenue of $47,604 were not properly booked.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None. This audit was funded by SJCOG.

To the Members of the Board of Directors
San Joaquin Council of Governments
Stockton, California
To the Members of the City Council
City of Ripon
Ripon, California
We have audited the financial statements of the Transportation Development Act Fund (“TDA”) and Measure K Fund, allocated for non-transit purposes, and the Transit Enterprise Fund, (collectively the “Funds”) of the City of Ripon, California (the “City”) for the year ended June 30, 2025. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated May 5, 2025. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.

Significant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the Funds are described in the notes to the financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.

Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events.

Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected.

The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.

Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.

Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management.

Management has corrected all such misstatements. The material misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures, corrected by management, are described in detail in our separately issued Independent Auditors’ Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards dated December 23, 2025.

For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.

Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated December 23, 2025.

Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the Funds’ financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.

Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the auditors of the Funds. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.

Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the budgetary comparison schedules for the TDA and Measure K Funds, allocated for non-transit purposes, which are required supplementary information (“RSI”) that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Transportation Development Act Fund and Measure K Fund, allocated for non-transit purposes, and the Transit Enterprise Fund (collectively the “Funds”) of the City of Ripon, California (the “City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the Funds, as of June 30, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof, for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We did not audit the financial statements of the City, which were relied upon for assurance over the cash balances, related investment earnings and related interfund activity with other City funds, represented within the Funds as of June 30, 2025. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for cash balances, investment earnings and entity wide interfund activity, are based solely on the report of the other auditors.

Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Emphasis of Matter
As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, these financial statements present only the Funds of the City and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2025, and the changes in its financial position for the fiscal year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Stockton, California Ripon, California
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control, as it relates to the Funds. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the budgetary comparison schedules for the Funds, as listed on the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management 2 1.3.B.b

Attachment: 2025.06.30 SJCOG City of Ripon TDA Audit (26-1 : TDA Audit FYE 6/30/2025) To the Members of the Board of Directors To the Members of the City Council San Joaquin Council of Governments City of Ripon
Stockton, California Ripon, California
about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Management has omitted the management’s discussion and analysis that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our opinion on the basic financial statements is not affected by this missing information.

Summarized Comparative Information
We have previously audited the financial statements of the Funds of the City’s 2024 financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2024, and expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those financial statements in our report dated December 13, 2024. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 23, 2025, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting, as it relates to the Funds, and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance, as it relates to the Funds. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance, as it relates to the Funds.

NON-TRANSIT PURPOSES AND TRANSIT ENTERPRISE FUND
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION
The City of Ripon (City) receives funds under the provisions of the Transportation Development Act (TDA) from the San Joaquin County Local Transportation Fund (LTF) under Article 4, Section 99260 for streets and roads, Article 4 for Transit and Article 3 for pedestrian and bicycle facilities, as the City does not have any unmet transit needs at this time.

The City receives funds under the provisions of the TDA from the San Joaquin County LTF under Article 4, Section 99260 for Transit, Article 8, Section 99400(a) for local streets and roads projects, and Article 3, Section 99234 for pedestrian and bicycle facilities. The funds previously provided under Article 8 represent amounts available after the determination by the San Joaquin Council of Governments, the transportation planning agency administering TDA funds, of amounts needed for local streets and roads of the City. The funds provided under Article 4, Section 99260 represent amounts set aside for transit purposes. The funds provided under Article 3, Section 99234 represent amounts set aside to be allocated for pedestrian and bicycle facilities within the jurisdictions of San Joaquin County and represent up to two percent of the available funds countywide. The City Transportation Development Act Fund is used to account for these funds received by the City for non-transit purposes, which is reflected in these financial statements of the Transportation Development Act Fund allocated for non-transit purposes.

The City’s Article 8 LTF dollars are now shifting to public transit as approved by the Board September of 2019. In alignment with this decision, it was collectively agreed upon that the funding previously allocated for Streets and Roads through the LTF program will undergo a phased-out reduction. The transition is part of a strategy to prioritize and enhance public transit infrastructure within our community. The phase out period began in FY21-22 and will result in each City claiming LTF dollars for transit.

The City also receives funds from an ordinance (Measure K) passed by San Joaquin County voters resulting in a sales tax increase of one-half of one percent for transportation improvements. The San Joaquin Council of Governments, acting as the Local Transportation Authority, oversees the collection and distribution of the sales tax in accordance with the thirty-year transportation expenditure plan. The plan calls for street repairs, safety and operational improvements on streets and roads, projects to reduce street and highway congestion, and the promotion of passenger rail and bus services as an alternative to travel by automobile. The City's Measure K Fund is used to account for these funds, which is reflected in these financial statements of the Measure K Fund.

The City, as other like-sized cities in the State of California, maintains its accounting records on a cash basis, wherein the total cash available at any time is offset by the then recorded fund balances. This method of accounting does not recognize receivables due to the City, payables due from the City, or investments in property and equipment. However, for purposes of these financial statements of the Transportation Development Act and Measure K Funds, the modified accrual basis of accounting is used.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES
A. Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Transportation Development Act Fund, Measure K Fund, and Transit Enterprise Fund of the City have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applied to government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles.

B. Reporting Entity
The financial statements are intended to present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of only transactions recorded in the Transportation Development Act Fund, Measure K Fund, and Transit Enterprise Fund of the City and are not intended to present fairly the financial position of the City and changes in its financial position and its cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
C. Fund Accounting
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures or expenses as appropriate. Government resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled.

The Transportation Development Act and Measure K Funds are governmental funds specifically categorized as special revenue funds. Special revenue funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes.

The Transit Enterprise Fund is a proprietary fund specifically categorized as an enterprise fund. Enterprise funds are used to account for activities similar to those found in the private sector. The City uses an enterprise fund to account for its transit operations because fees are charged to external users for services provided.

D. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
The Transportation Development Act Fund and the Measure K Fund are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available and expenditures are recognized when the fund liabilities are incurred. "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The City uses an availability period of 60 days. Revenues that are susceptible to accrual include LTF allocations and interest income.

The Transit Enterprise Fund is classified as an enterprise fund using the flow of economic resource management focus and the accrual basis of accounting, whereby revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred.

Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Transit Enterprise Fund are passenger fares. Operating expenses include the cost of vehicle maintenance, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets and equipment. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.

When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources as they are needed.

E. Cash and Investments
All City monies are invested in a cash and investment pool, whereby funds can spend cash at any time without prior notice or penalty. Therefore, for purposes of the statement of cash flows, all enterprise fund cash on hand and in the pool is considered cash and cash equivalents.

F. Interfund Transactions
During the course of operations, operating transactions occur between the Transportation Development Act and Measure K Funds, where revenues are received, and other governmental funds, where expenditures occur. These transactions are classified as "intergovernmental transfers" on the statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances.

G. Capital Assets
All purchased capital assets are valued at cost where historical cost records are available and at an estimated historical cost where no historical records exist.

The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized. Improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related capital assets, as applicable.

Depreciation of all capital assets in the Transit Enterprise Fund is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Estimated useful lives of vehicles are seven years.

H. Net Position/Fund Balance
The financial statements of the enterprise fund utilize a net position presentation. Net position is categorized as follows:
• Investment in Capital Assets - This category groups all capital assets into one component of net position.

Accumulated depreciation reduces the balance in this category. • Restricted Net Position - This category presents amounts with external restrictions imposed by creditors, granters, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments and restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

The City follows the provisions of GASB Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. Accordingly, governmental funds report fund balance as nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, or unassigned based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on how specific amounts can be spent. At June 30, 2025, fund balances are categorized as follows:
• Restricted Fund Balance - amounts with constraints placed on their use that are either (a) externally imposed by creditors, granters, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

I. Grants
Grant revenues and receivables are recorded when eligibility requirements that have been imposed by the provider have been met. Grant sources include Federal Transit Administration (FTA), State Transit Assistance (STA), and LTF. The LTF and STA were created by the State Legislature under the TDA.

J. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

K. Comparative Data
Comparative totals for the prior year have been presented in the accompanying financial statements in order to provide an understanding of changes in financial position and operations of the City's Transportation Development Act Fund, Measure K Fund, and Transit Enterprise Fund.

The State of Good Repair & Accountability Act of 2017 was established to provide funds annually for aging infrastructure, investments in congested commute and freight corridors and to improve transit service. Caltrans is legislated to manage and administer the State of Good Repair (SGR) program. The State Controller’s Office publishes annually estimated funding according to population and farebox revenues. The State Controller’s Office issues quarterly payment to the San Joaquin Council of Governments who in turn pays the Regional Transit Authority for allocation to the jurisdictions. The 99313 portion of the allocations is allocated based on a Board approved allocation formula for the fiscal year. The 99314 portion is allocated based on the SCO formula. The funds are held with the County Treasurer, and jurisdictions are allowed to draw down from available funds on a reimbursement basis. Caltrans requests that the jurisdictions fully expend the SGR funds within a seven-year period.

Amounts held by the City and available for draw as of June 30, 2025, are composed of the following:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON

COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN

ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Board of Directors
San Joaquin Council of Governments
Stockton, California
To the City Council
City of Ripon
Ripon, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and the Transportation Development Act (“TDA”) the financial statements of the Transportation Development Act (“TDA”) Fund and Measure K Fund, allocated for non-transit purposes, and the Transit Enterprise Fund (collectively the “Funds”) of the City of Ripon, California, (the “City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 23, 2025.

Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over the financial reporting (internal control) relating to the Funds, as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control as it relates to the Funds.

Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. We identified a certain deficiency in internal control, described in the accompanying schedule of findings and responses as item 2025-001 that we consider to be a material weakness.

Stockton, California Ripon, California
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Funds’ financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. Our audit was further made to determine that the Funds were expended in conformance with applicable statutes, rules, and regulations of the TDA, and the allocation instructions and resolutions of the San Joaquin Council of Governments as required by Sections 6666 and 6667 of Title 21 of the California Code of Regulations. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed an instance of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards and which is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and responses as item 2025-001.

City of Ripon Response to Findings
Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the City’s response to the findings identified in our audit and described in the accompanying schedule of findings and responses. The City’s response was not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.

Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance relating to the Funds and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control or on compliance relating to the Funds. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control and compliance relating to the Funds.

Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND RESPONSES
Reference Number: 2025-001
Material Weakness – Year-end Accrual Activity
Condition
Our audit revealed that the Transit Fund did not appropriately accrue $7,735 of expenditures within accounts payable that were incurred during the 2025 fiscal year. Additionally, revenue totaling $47,604 related to State of Good Repair funding was not accrued within due from other agencies for the same period.

Criteria
In accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and Government Auditing Standards, enterprise funds must recognize expenditures and revenues during the period in which they are incurred or earned, irrespective of the timing of related cash transactions.

Cause
The missed accruals were due in part to opportunities for improvement within the City’s internal control processes over financial reporting, particularly in the procedures for identifying and recording year-end accounts payable and revenue accruals. In addition, some uncertainty regarding the appropriate accounting treatment for State of Good Repair funds contributed to the revenue not being accrued at year-end.

Effect or Potential Effect
Incorrectly recording expenses and revenues in the wrong fiscal year led to audit adjustments that changed the Transit Fund’s net position by $39,869 as of June 30, 2025. Not making proper accruals can result in errors in financial reports and poor management decisions.

Recommendation
We suggest that management improve internal controls for the year-end closing process so all significant accounts payable and revenue accruals are properly identified and recorded under GAAP. This can involve offering staff additional training, refining review procedures, and using checklists or automated systems to ensure every necessary accrual is captured. We also recommend that management consult with funding agencies if there are questions about particular funding sources, such as State of Good Repair, to make sure reporting remains timely and accurate.

Management’s Response
Management agrees with the findings and is working to implement the recommendation. 21 1.3.B.b

Ripon, California
Report on Compliance with Transportation Development Act and Measure K Requirements Opinion on Transportation Development Act and Measure K Compliance We have audited the City of Ripon, California (the “City”)’s compliance with Transportation Development Act (“TDA”) and Measure K requirements that funds allocated to and received by the City were expended in conformance with applicable statutes, rules, and regulations of the TDA and Measure K; and the allocation instructions and resolutions of the San Joaquin Council of Governments as required by Section 6666 and 6667 of Title 21, Division 3, Chapter 2, Article 5.5 of the California Code of Regulations (Code of Regulations) during the year ending June 30, 2025.

In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that are applicable to the City for the year ended June 30, 2025.

Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS); and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the Code of Regulations. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.

Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to the statutes, rules, and regulations of the TDA and Measure K.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our responsibility is to express opinions on compliance with the requirements described in the Code of Regulations based on our audit.

Regulations. Standards and the Code of Regulations require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a material effect on the TDA and Measure K programs. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Misstatements are considered material if, there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Code of Regulations, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. • Obtain an understanding of the City’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Code of Regulations, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.

Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report on compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of compliance and the results of that testing. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Subject: Senior Center Retrofit Project Change Order #2 RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve Change Order No. 2 in the not to exceed amount of $65,843.85 for the fabrication and installation of an electronic programmable sign at the Senior Center (funding source: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)).

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of the Senior Center Rehabilitation Project is to provide various improvements to the exterior of Ripon’s Senior Center. This includes the installation of a new shade structure, improved facing and paneling, installation of new doors for access to the shade structure, and new landscaping and irrigation.

The project was awarded to Estate Design and Construction, Inc. at the November 12, 2024 City Council meeting for an amount of $348,000. The City Council budgeted $388,000 for this project with $421,967 available in the CBDG fund at that time.

At the June 10, 2025 City Council meeting, Council approved Change Order No. 1 in the not to exceed amount of $2,000 for the removal of a tree conflicting with location for proposed improvements at the Senior Center.

DISCUSSION:

Staff requested Estate Design and Construction, Inc provide a change order for the fabrication and installation of an electric sign at the Senior Center. This sign would look similar to the sign in front of City Hall and will be operated by Senior Center staff following the City’s electronic sign policy.

The cost of the sign, including fabrication and installation is $65,843.85 and would be funded by CDBG funds.

From: Lisa Roos, City Clerk & Finance Director
Date: 01/13/2026
Subject: Claim - Guzman
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

The City’s claim adjustor has investigated the submitted claim and is recommending the City Council accept the claim.

BACKGROUND:

Individuals who believe a municipality such as the City of Ripon is responsible for a loss that they have experienced may file a claim with that municipality. The City Clerk is responsible to process any claim received in a manner that is consistent with the Government Code. The following summarizes how a typical claim is processed:

1. City Clerk reviews the claim to determine if the claim submitted is complete. If it is found to be complete, the claim is forwarded to the City’s claims adjustor for processing. If the claim is determined not to be complete, the City Clerk returns to the individual as incomplete.

2. The City of Ripon is a member of the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Association (CSJVRMA), which consists of 54 cities in the Central Valley that selfinsure liability losses through a pool. The CSJVRMA claims adjustor reviews all liability claims for the facts of the incident including videos, police report, interviews all individuals involved in the incident, etc. The adjustor will also review applicable local, state and federal laws to determine the City’s liability in the incident.

3. If the claims adjustor finds the City is responsible for the damages filed in the claim, he or she will submit those findings to the City Clerk for processing. If the amount of damages is less than $5,000, the City Administrator has the authority to approve the payment of the damage. If the amount of damages is greater than $5,000, the City Clerk will place on the City Council agenda for approval to pay the claim.

1.4.B
Packet Pg. 109

4. If the claims adjustor finds the City is not responsible for the damages filed in the claim, he or she will submit those findings to the City Clerk and recommend the City Council reject the claim.

5. If the claim is rejected by the City Council, the City Clerk sends a “notice of rejection” to the claimant, which advises the claimant they have six months to file a court action.

6. After the claimant has been paid or 6 months has passed since the rejection, the City’s claim adjuster issues a “closing report” to staff and staff closes the claim and files it.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

CSAA Insurance, as administrative services for Salvador Guzman, submitted a subrogation claim to the City of Ripon on November 24, 2025 for the damage done to Mr. Guzman’s vehicle.

The amount of the claim is $11,117.18 for vehicle damage and car rental expenses.

The CSJVRMA claims adjustor has reviewed the claim submitted and the Ripon Police Department report from that incident including photos of the scene and found that liability is adverse to the City.

Accordingly, it is the claims adjustor’s recommendation that this matter be submitted to the City Council for the claim to be accepted within the stipulations set forth in this staff report.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Spencer Schroen, Associate Civil Engineer
Date: 01/13/2026
Subject: Grant Deed_Calvary Reformed Church
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

This Resolution accepts a Grant Deed by Calvary Reformed Church of Ripon, a California religious non-profit corporation, for certain real property to complete the expansion of Fulton Avenue between the Meadowood Subdivision Project’s northern limits and the Colony Roundabout and authorize the Mayor to sign and execute any and all documents necessary to complete the aforementioned transaction.

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.

At the October 14, 2025 City Council meeting, Council approved Amendment No. 2 to the Lennar Homes Subdivision Improvement Agreement, which addressed two project requirements:

Packet Pg. 111
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 Road Roundabout to improve the safety and function of the roadway.

Since the Fulton Avenue improvements between the northern project limits and the Colony Road Roundabout 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.

DISCUSSION:

For Lennar Homes to complete the extension of the City standard 102-foot right-of-way standard along Fulton Avenue from the Meadowood northern project limits to the Colony Road roundabout requires a 51-foot dedication of land from the Calvary Church, which is the property owner north of the Meadowood project (1040 Goodwin Drive).

This right-of-way dedication would allow the installation of the following improvements on the west side of Fulton Avenue:
 6-foot concrete sidewalk (to be used as a safe route to school for pedestrians traveling to Parkview Elementary)
 10-foot landscaped parkway between the sidewalk and curb & gutter  25-foot asphalt to accommodate two travel lanes
 14-foot landscaped median
Staff is recommending the City Council adopt the Resolution accepting a Grant Deed by Calvary Reformed Church of Ripon, a California religious non-profit corporation, for certain real property to the City of Ripon in connection with the Meadowood Subdivision Project and authorize the Mayor to sign and execute any and all documents necessary to complete the Packet Pg. 112

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Kevin Werner, City Administrator
Date: 01/13/2026
Subject: Water, Sewer and Garbage Rates for 2026-2030
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Pursuant to Resolution 25-36, if there is found to be a majority protest, the City shall not impose the fee or charge. In the event a majority protest is not present, the proposed water, sewer and garbage rates will be approved for a five-year period beginning February 1, 2026.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Ripon has three enterprise funds - water, sewer and garbage. Enterprise funds are operated by the City as a separate financial and legal entities. The revenue collected from rates must adequately fund the water, sewer, and garbage operations, maintenance, capital replacement, and compliance with existing and new State of California regulations.

The City evaluates utility rates every five years to ensure sufficient revenue is being collected from utility customers. The last utility rate increase was approved in January 2021 with annual rate increases to be implemented February 2021 – 2025. The approved rate increases do not automatically go into effect each year. The Ripon City Council has directed staff to prepare an annual report that summarizes the financials of each Enterprise Fund prior to the approved rates being implemented to determine if the full rate increase is necessary.

The City of Ripon contracted with an independent expert to conduct a comprehensive rate study for the water, sewer, and garbage funds for the rate study period of 2026-2030. A detailed report has been prepared that evaluates the expenses over the next five years to operate and maintain the water, sewer, and garbage utilities at the current service levels, meet State of California regulatory requirements, and complete necessary capital replacement of equipment that has exceeded its useful life.

The City Council held a workshop on October 30, 2025 to review the recommendations from this analysis. Based on the discussion and direction from the City Council, the Water, Sewer, and

2.A
Packet Pg. 118
Garbage Funds Rates Study report has been updated (see attached) and summarized below.

Proposed Water Rate Increases - The proposed water rate increase of 4 percent over the next 5 years is necessary to continue to provide the current service levels along with operating and maintaining new well head treatment systems at two groundwater wells.

Proposed Sewer Rate Increases - The proposed sewer rate increase of 3 percent over the next 5 years is necessary to continue to maintain current service levels while also transferring the funds necessary to fund a significant upgrade of the wastewater treatment plant when the 1994 Wastewater Discharge Regulatory Permit limits are updated to present-day State mandated treatment standards.

Proposed Garbage Rate Increases - As a result of the unanticipated expenses associated with complying with State of California regulatory mandates during the previous rate study period of 2020-2025, the garbage operating fund balance has dropped below the target balance. This could impact service levels if an unplanned expense (e.g., garbage truck damaged to the extent it no longer can be used, etc.) arises and the funds are not available.

The proposed garbage rate increase of 20 percent in year 1 and 4 percent over the remaining years of the rate study period is necessary to maintain current service levels while also restoring the target balance of the garbage operating fund to have funds available if an unplanned emergency expense arises. The increase will also allow the City to continue to comply with State of California unfunded mandates while transferring the funds necessary to replace capital that has exceeded its’ useful life.

Combined Impact of Recommended Rate Increases - The combined impact upon a typical residential customer is summarized in the table and figure below. The impact on the monthly bill is for a residential customer with a 1-inch water meter and 16 hundred cubic feet per month water use, a sewer connection and residential curbside 1 black + 1 green service.

connection, and residential curbside garbage service of 1-black + 1-green cans are shown in the figure below.

Ripon’s proposed utility rate is 11% lower than the average of the Cities surveyed.

DISCUSSION:

On November 10, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution 25-36 in accordance with Proposition 218 to increase water, sewer, and garbage utility rates from February 1, 2026 to 2030, which included:
 Setting a public hearing for January 13, 2026 to consider protests opposing the proposed water, sewer, and garbage utility rate increases.
 Providing written notice to property owners by mail of the proposed water, sewer, and garbage rates.
 In the event that a majority protest does not exist, the proposed water, sewer and garbage rates would be approved for a five-year period beginning February 1, 2026.

A majority protest is defined as 50% +1 protest ballots, collected from each existing parcel that has at least one utility service. The City Clerk will add the protest ballots from each parcel during the public hearing and verify if they add up to the majority protest, which would be 2,697 ballots.

In the event that a majority protest does not exist, the proposed water, sewer and garbage utility rate increases would be approved.

The City of Ripon has three enterprise funds: Water, Sewer and Garbage. 1,2 Enterprise funds are
operated by the City in a “business-type” manner and the City charges customers for services provided through these enterprises. All residents within the City limits are required to sign up for all three services.

The City, in conjunction with Pavletic Consulting LLC, has analyzed the adequacy of revenues to meet projected expenditures of the enterprise funds to determine whether revenues will be adequate to cover operating and maintenance costs as well as needed capital expenditures while supporting debt service obligations and meeting target reserve levels. Revenues from rates, which generate approximately 99% of water and garbage enterprise fund revenues and 91% of sewer fund revenues, were developed for the five-year period Fiscal Year 2025 – 2026 (FY26) through FY30.

The last rate study that recommended utility rate increases was completed in 2020. Based on that study, the City Council adopted rates for the five-year period FY21 through FY25. City council requested staff bring back the adopted rate increases each year for evaluation prior to implementation. After evaluation, rates adopted from the 2020 Rate Study were implemented each fiscal year from FY21 through FY25.

Significant Assumptions
There are several assumptions in this study related to future interest rates, cost inflation, the annual number of new connections, water sales and other items. The unifying theme underlying all assumptions is that rates based on the assumptions should have a very high probability of recovering annual revenue requirements.

A summary of the most significant assumptions made in this study are listed below.

Assumption 1. Projected growth in accounts for all enterprises is 40 single family accounts per year, which reflects with recent growth rates of less than 1% per year. The City has a 2.5% growth cap.

Assumption 2. Projected residential average annual water use for FY26 is approximately 22 hcf per month. Projected nonresidential average annual water use for FY26 is approximately 60 hcf per month.

Assumption 3. Projected reduction in water use for residential and nonresidential accounts is 0.5 percent per year for FY26-FY30.

Assumption 4. The target cash balance reserve level for the water and sewer funds is 35 percent of annual operating expenditures. The target cash balance reserve level for the garbage fund is 20 percent of annual operating expenditures.

Assumption 5. Operating expenditures, including Overhead Reimbursements, and capital transfers were projected using data from City staff.
1 The City’s financial statements use the term “Refuse Fund.” The City’s budgets use the term “Garbage Fund.” The terms are interchangeable and refer to Fund 120.

Long-Term Debt
As of June 30, 2024, the City has three Revenue Bonds with principal outstanding – two for the Water Fund with $4,745,000 outstanding and one for the Sewer Fund with $375,000 outstanding – for a total of $5,120,000. At the end of the five-year rate study period (FY30), the outstanding principal balance for the two Water bonds will be
$3,545,000. The Sewer bond
will reach maturity in October
2025.

Bonds are secured by a
pledge of net revenues from
each fund. Principal payments
are due annually on October

1. Interest payments are
payable semi-annually on April
1 and October 1. Rates
developed in this study are
set to generate Net Revenues
greater than or equal to 1.2 times the annual debt service. Interest rates, maturity dates, amounts issued and amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2024, are summarized in Table ES-1.

Introduction
The City’s water, sewer and garbage enterprise fund rates are intended to recover revenues sufficient to adequately fund utility operations, maintenance, and capital replacement expenditures, and meet debt service obligations, while keeping rates as competitive as possible and maintaining a prudent level of reserves.

1.1 Organization of the Report
This report is divided into six sections. This introduction provides an overview of the study objectives.

Section 2 discusses the evaluation of water rates and funding requirements.

Section 3 discusses the evaluation of sewer rates and funding requirements.

Section 4 discusses the evaluation of garbage rates and funding requirements.

Section 5 describes the impact of proposed rates on customers.

Section 6 describes the limitations of the study document.

1.2 Overview of Utility Rate Setting Process
Rate studies classically have three categories of technical analysis – the development of revenue required from rates, the allocation of costs among functional cost categories (cost-of-service analysis) and the design of a rate structure. An overview of the rate-setting analytical steps is shown in Figure 1-1.

The revenue required from rates is net of non-rate revenues (for example interest earned on fund balances, loan disbursements and revenue from new connections to the water system) and other revenues not required from rates (such
as revenue from meter turn on/off
services).

The allocation of costs are structured so
that the revenue required from charges is
distributed proportionally for every level
of service in a manner that allows the
development of unit costs.

The rate structure uses the unit costs as
a basis for aggregating costs into rates
that are applicable to the various
customer classes.

Figure 1-1. Overview of Rate Setting Analytical Steps
The methodology used to develop rates in this study includes only the revenue requirement analysis. A cost-of-service analysis was not conducted and the rate structures remain the same as the current structures.

Revenue Requirement Analysis
Compares revenues of the utility to its operating
and capital costs to determine the adequacy of
the existing rates to recover costs
Cost-of-service Analysis
Allocates the revenue requirements to the various
customer classes in a fair and equitable manner
Rate Design Analysis
Considers both the level of rates and the structure
of the rate design to collect the distributed
revenue requirements from each customer class

1.3 City Location and Population
The City of Ripon is the most southeasterly town in San Joaquin County, approximately 20 miles south of Stockton on Route 99. The city has a total area of 5.5 square miles.

1.4 Overview of City Enterprise Funds
As noted in the City’s annual audit reports, the City has three enterprise funds: Water, Sewer, and Garbage.1 The City charges customers for the services it provides, these services are reported in proprietary (enterprise) funds. Enterprise funds are reported in the same way all activities are reported in the Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities. For example, principal payments on long-term debt are recorded as a reduction to the liability.

The City’s enterprise fund financial statements are essentially the same as the business-type activities reported in the government-wide financial statements. The City utilizes the modified cash basis of accounting and accordingly, capital assets are not capitalized or depreciated.

The three enterprise funds account for the provision of water, sewer and garbage collection and disposal services to residents of the City. All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in these funds, including administration, maintenance, operations, capital improvements, financing and related debt service, and billing and collection.

1.5 Source Data for the Study
Information and data for the development of rates and preparation of this report comes from documents provided by the City. The list of documents, and the key information and data from each used in this study, are summarized below.

City of Ripon Audit Reports. Data from the Financial Statements for Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2024, were evaluated. Data from these reports used as part of this rate study include debt service obligations for each enterprise fund.

City of Ripon Adopted Budgets. Data from annual budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26 (FY26) was evaluated.

The FY26 Annual Budget included actual financial data for FY25. Data used as part of this rate study include actual and projected expenditures and revenues for each enterprise fund.

Utility Billing System data. Monthly metered water use was provided by the City. For each enterprise, the City provided the number of units of use. Units of use included accounts by customer class (for example, residential, multiple family, commercial) and rate type (for example, flat charge for commercial wastewater flow and number of black and/or green cans for garbage service). The City also provided monthly bills for industrial wastewater accounts.

1.6 Rate-Making Objectives
There are numerous rate-making objectives that must be considered when developing rates and rate structures.

Revenue sufficiency. Generate sufficient revenue to fund operating costs, capital costs and bonded debt, and maintain adequate reserves.

Revenue stability. Recover revenue from fixed and variable charges that will cover fixed and variable costs (barring water shortages when rationing may be required). 1 See Footnotes 1 and 2 from the Executive Summary regarding names of the enterprise funds.

Customer acceptance. Be as simple as possible to facilitate customer understanding and acceptance.

Fairness. Provide for each customer class to pay its proportionate share of the required revenue in compliance with legal rate-making requirements.

1.7 Implementation of 2020 Rates Study Recommended Rates An Enterprise Funds Rates and Cash Flow Study was completed in September 2020 (2020 Rates Study).

Based on findings and recommendations in the 2020 Rates Study, the City Council approved Resolution No. 20-55 which adopted maximum garbage, sewer and water rates to be effective February 1st of 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 (five years).

The City Council had directed staff to re-analyze the financial position of each Enterprise Fund each year to decide if any rate needed to be increased based upon the approved increases.

In the Water Fund, the adopted rates were implemented for each of the five years. The impact on Single Family bills was in increase of approximately 2% per year.

In the Sewer Fund, the adopted rates were implemented for each of the five years. The impact on Single Family bills was in increase of approximately 4% per year.

In the Garbage Fund, the adopted rates were implemented for each of the five years. The impact on Single Family bills was in increase of approximately 5% per year for the first three fiscal years followed by increases of approximately 4% per year for the last two fiscal years.

The combined impact of the recommended rate increases upon a typical residential customer is summarized in the table and figure below.

Water Enterprise Fund
The City’s meter rates and commodity rates are intended to recover revenues sufficient to adequately fund utility operations, maintenance, and capital replacement expenditures, and meet debt service obligations, while keeping rates as competitive as possible and maintaining a prudent level of reserves.

2.1 Water Sources and System Operations
In 2025, all of Ripon’s water originated from five groundwater Wells, two are located on the south side of Highway 99 and four on the north side. These Wells tap underground reserves or aquifers from approximately 125-500 feet below the ground surface. The aquifers are replenished by rainfall, the Stanislaus River and agricultural irrigation water. The total pumping capacity for all Wells connected to the City’s water distribution system is 9,000 gpm (gallons per minute). The City has two elevated storage tanks, a 1.5 MG (million gallons) located near the Jack Tone Interchange and a 2.5 MG tank on River Road at the Mistlin Sports Complex. These elevated tanks have the capacity to provide an additional 10,000 gpm for peak demand or firefighting needs. Ripon’s piping system is designed so that, depending upon the demand, water at a customers’ faucet can be supplied from a single Well or any combination of Wells in operation at any given time. In 2015 the City installed water meters on all customer accounts.

2.2 Water Connections, Meters and Usage
The water utility provides service to its residents, institutions, industries, and businesses through approximately 5,100 service connections. The approximate number of water meters and projected water usage for FY26, by customer class, are shown in the figures below.

The number of water connections and meters by customer class and size projected for FY26 is shown below in Table 2-1. Residential meters make up approximately 92% of all customers. Approximately 95% of all meters are 1-inch or less in size. Another 4% are 1½-inch or 2-inch meters. There are 25 meters that are 2½-inch or larger. The number of residential meters is projected to increase by approximately 40 per year (less than 1% per year).

Table 2-1. Number of Water Meters by Customer Class and Size

2.3 Historic and Projected Water Usage
Historic and projected water usage is shown in the table below. For the purpose of projecting metered water usage for FY26 and onward, average usage for FY25 is used as a starting point. Water usage projections for FY26 – FY30 are based upon the net impact of two variables: 1) increase in usage due to the growth in the number of metered accounts by 40 per year; and 2) decrease in usage due to conservation.

The decrease in usage is based on a percent reduction in average water use per account from the previous years’ value. Metered residential and nonresidential average water usage is projected to decrease by 0.5 percent per year for FY26 – FY30.

2.4 Water Operating Cash Flow
The evaluation of water rates involved the update of projected expenditures, revenue from rates, number of accounts and water usage. Operating cash flow (revenues, expenditures, and beginning, ending and target fund balances), and debt service coverage ratios are shown in the table below. Note that current projections of the debt service coverage ratio exceed the technical minimum of 1.20 times Net Revenues in all years. The target reserve level of unrestricted cash is 35 percent of annual operating expenditures.

Water operating fund expenditures, revenues and balances are shown below in Table 2-2.

2.5 Recommended Water Rates
Current and recommended water rates are summarized in the table below. Rates that include the Annual Payment Discount or the reduction for Qualified Income are not shown.

The existing rate structure has 13 unique rates (not including the Annual Payment Discount or the reduction for Qualified Income rates) and currently recovers approximately 57% of revenues from meter charges (both residential and nonresidential) and 43% of revenues from usage charges (both residential and nonresidential). Approximately 85% of revenues are from residential customers with the remaining 15% of revenues from commercial/industrial customers and sales of nonpotable water.

Sewer Enterprise Fund
The City’s flat rates for residential customers and commodity rates for nonresidential customers are intended to recover revenues sufficient to adequately fund utility operations, maintenance, and capital replacement expenditures, and meet debt service obligations, while keeping rates as competitive as possible and maintaining a prudent level of reserves.

3.1 Wastewater System Operations
The Public Works Department maintains approximately 40 miles of sewer collection system piping and provides operation and maintenance of six (6) wastewater pumping stations. The treatment plant is permitted for 1.4 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) and is currently processing 1 MGD. The City’s treatment plant processes approximately 367 million gallons of wastewater each year. The facility is located at the south-end of Acacia Avenue and consists of 20 acres of treatment ponds with six (6) 10 horsepower mechanical brush aerators, which provides additional oxygen transfer for the biological treatment process. Treated wastewater is disposed into forty (40) acres of disposal ponds located to the west of the treatment ponds.

3.2 Sewer Accounts
The sewer utility provides service to its approximately 5,800 residential dwelling units and 200 commercial connections. Multiple family accounts are categorized as residential in terms of their sewer rate category and as commercial in terms of their water rate category. The number of residential accounts is projected to increase by approximately 40 per year.

3.3 Sewer Operating Cash Flow
The evaluation of sewer rates involved the update of projected expenditures, revenue from rates, and number of accounts. Operating cash flow (revenues, expenditures, and beginning, ending and target fund balances), and debt service coverage ratios are shown in the table below. Note that current projections of the debt service coverage ratio exceed the technical minimum of 1.20 times Net Revenues in all years. The target reserve level of unrestricted cash is 35 percent of annual operating expenditures.

Sewer operating fund expenditures, revenues and balances are shown below in Table 3-1.

Table 3-1. Sewer Operating Fund Cash Flow
The Capital Reserve includes funding collected for the future Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP). In March 2015, City Council agreed to collect funding from existing customers to fund future WWTP upgrades, to meet future state permitting requirements.

MEMO

From: Mitchell Ulrich, Civil Enginer Tech I
Date: 01/13/2026
Subject: Engineering and Traffic Survey

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff to present findings and recommendations from the 2025 Engineering and Traffic Survey.

BACKGROUND
At the request of the Ripon Police Department, the City’s Engineering Department has completed an Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS) for review. In short, an E&TS is the justification for establishing and enforcing safe speed limits within the City of Ripon. The previous E&TS was completed in 2015. If an E&TS is not completed every seven to fourteen years, it inhibits the City’s ability to effectively enforce and prosecute speeding violations. Radar enforcement is specifically prohibited on any street segment without a current E&TS.

The California Vehicle Code (CVC) indicates that prima facie speed limits on roadways are 25 miles per hour (mph) in residential and business districts and 15 miles per hour at railroad grade crossings, highway intersections with sight restrictions and on any alley. The CVC does allow for intermediate speed limits to be set after a local jurisdiction (1) determines upon the basis of an Engineering and Traffic Survey that a speed greater than 25 mph would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be reasonable and safe, and (2) the local authority approves an ordinance that declares a prima facie speed limit of 30, 35, 40, 45, or 50 mph for each segment studied.

DISCUSSION
City of Ripon staff has prepared an Engineering and Traffic Survey for 41 roadway segments within the City of Ripon. These surveys were performed in compliance with the current laws and practices of the State of California in order to set an intermediate speed limit above the 25 mph prima facie speed limit and continue to allow the Ripon Police Department to enforce speed limits with the use of radar.

4.A
Packet Pg. 156
As part of the E&TS, when determining the appropriate speed limit, considerations are made for prevailing speeds, collision records, highway traffic and roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver.

Prevailing speeds. The data from the survey was used to calculate the prevailing, which is the speed at which 85 percent of the vehicles traveled. The CVC and MUTCD prescribes that a speed limit shall be established at the nearest 5 mph increment to the critical 85th percentile speed. In cases in which the speed limit needs to be rounded up to the nearest five miles per hour increment of the 85th percentile speed, the local authority may decide to instead round down the speed limit to the lower five miles per hour increment without justification. There is an extended list of justifications that can be included to lower the limit by another 5 mph with sound engineering judgement.

Collision records. The police department provided collision records for each segment evaluated in the Engineering and Traffic Survey, which were considered when evaluating the recommended speed limit. The raw traffic collision data is included at the end of the report.

Roadside conditions. Conditions of the roadway are considered in determining the appropriate speed limit, such as safe routes to schools, roadway geometrics, adjacent speed limits, pedestrian volume, and more.

The following table summarizes the results of the data collected and recommendations of the Engineering and Traffic Survey:

The findings of the Engineering and Traffic Survey reveal that 36 of the 41 surveyed street segments are recommended to remain at their current established speed limits, and would not require any changes to the existing posted regulatory signage or speed limit pavement markings.

Below is a summary of the recommended street segments to be changed:

Fourth St from S. Stockton Ave to Dead End – Raise from 25 mph to 30 mph Garrison Way from Maple Ave to Kamps Way – Raise from 25 mph to 30 mph Hoff Dr from Colony Rd to Santos Ave – Raise from 25 mph to 35 mph Parallel Ave from Reynolds Ave to E. Main St – Raise from 25 mph to 30 mph Santos Ave from Hoff Dr to Frontage Rd – Raise from 25 mph to 35 mph Additional supporting documentation of the survey’s methodology and findings are provided in the 2025 Engineering and Traffic Survey and attached appendices.

The information within this report has been gathered to support the establishment of safe and effective speed limits within city limits. This survey follows the guidelines within the California Department of Transportation’s (Caltrans) California Manual for Setting Speed Limits (March 2025).

The purpose of this survey is to evaluate the posted speed limits for 41 segments of roadways/streets within the City of Ripon and recommend speed limits following the State of California regulations and guidelines. CVC Section 40802 requires that Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS) for speed limits should be conducted at least once every 5 years (40802(a)), 7 years (40802(c)), or 14 years (40802(c)) based on established criteria. State and local agencies are required to re‐evaluate non‐statutory speed limits on their street segments that have undergone a significant change in roadway characteristics or surrounding land uses since the speed limits were last reviewed.

How Speed Limits Are Set
The California Vehicle Code (CVC) establishes the way in which jurisdictions determine and set their speed limits. The CVC is regulated by the State Legislature with the primary goal of creating the safest and most efficient roadways possible.

California Vehicle Code establishes the following limits for “local” streets/roads. - 15 mph in alleys
- 15 mph at railroad crossings
- 25 mph in school zones
- 25 mph in a residence or business district
- 25 mph when passing a senior citizens facility
- 25 mph prima facie limit in residential districts
The responsibility of setting and maintaining roadways not defined as “local” is handled by various state and local agencies through an Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS).

The need for an E&TS and its definition are specified in the CVC Sections 627 and 40802. CVC Section 627 authorizes Caltrans to establish methods for E&TS while Section 40802 establishes that a speed zone without a valid E&TS is considered a speed trap.

CVC Section 627:
(a) "Engineering and traffic survey," as used in this code, means a survey of highway and traffic conditions in accordance with methods determined by the Department of Transportation for use by state and local authorities.

4.A.a
Packet Pg. 162 Attachment: 2025 E&TS Draft (4947 : Engineering and Traffic Survey) 4 (b) An engineering and traffic survey shall include, among other requirements deemed necessary by the department, consideration of all of the following:
(1) Prevailing speeds as determined by traffic engineering measurements. (2) Accident records.
(3) Highway, traffic, and roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver. (c) When conducting an engineering and traffic survey, local authorities, in addition to the factors set forth in paragraphs (1) to (3), inclusive, of subdivision (b) may consider all of the following:
(1) Residential density, if any of the following conditions exist on the particular portion of highway and the property contiguous thereto, other than a business district:
(A) Upon one side of the highway, within a distance of a quarter of a mile, the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by 13 or more separate dwelling houses or business structures.
(B) Upon both sides of the highway, collectively, within a distance of a quarter of a mile, the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by 16 or more separate dwelling houses or business structures.
(C) The portion of highway is longer than one-quarter of a mile but has the ratio of separate dwelling houses or business structures to the length of the highway described in either subparagraph (A) or (B).
(2) Pedestrian and bicyclist safety, with increased consideration for vulnerable pedestrian groups including children, seniors, persons with disabilities, users of personal assistive devices, and the unhoused.

Based on the California MUTCD 2014 Edition Revision 6 and CVC sections 22357 and 22358.6, speed limits “shall be established at the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th percentile speed of free-flowing traffic.” In matching existing conditions with the traffic safety needs of the community, engineering judgment may reduce the posted speed limit by 5 mph due to specific factors such as road characteristics, the pace speed, roadside development and environment, pedestrian activity, and collision history. Alternatively, the California MUTCD 2014 Edition Revision 6 states that "for cases in which the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th- percentile speed would require a rounding up, then the speed limit may be rounded down to the nearest 5 mph increment below the 85th-percentile speed, if no further reduction is used."

This section is a summary of the street segments surveyed and compares the critical speed (85th Percentile Speed) obtained with the speed limit presently being enforced and provides recommendations for revising speed limits and the basis for these recommendations. Appendix B covering “Field Survey Data” provides the necessary backup for this section. Several short sections of streets have had the speed limit raised as allowed by the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and the California Vehicle Code. The justification for recommended changes from the 85th percentile speed is noted with each street section and the justifications are defined in Appendix A. Raw traffic data is included for reference in Appendix C. 36 of the 41 surveyed sections are recommended to remain at their current speed limits.

The following five are those that would be changed:
