October 1, 2025 - December 31, 2025 Accept the City’s quarterly investment report for the period ending December 31,
2025.

Mayor Barton said he pulled the item because some of the numbers did not make sense to him and he felt it would be beneficial for City Clerk Roos to explain it for the public.

City Clerk Roos said on page two of the staff report the total on the bottom for the estimated annual rate of return is noted as 3.81% but 3.81% is actually lower than all the estimated annual rates of return that City receives from their various investments. She said that is actually just the interest that is earned for the quarter divided by what the balance is at the end of the quarter. Roos said it is not technically a rate of return and she will remove that from future reports.

Motion to approve Item 1.4B Quarterly Investment Report Review.

2. ORDINANCES
First Reading and Introduction
A. ORDINANCE NO. 934

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIPON
AMENDING CHAPTER 10.10 "SPEED
LIMITS" OF THE RIPON MUNICIPAL
CODE
This ordinance amends Chapter 10.10,
“Speed Limits,” of the Ripon Municipal
Code to update the posted speed limits of
five roadway segments, based on the
findings of the 2025 Engineering and
Traffic Survey.

City Administrator Werner said staff went through the traffic study at the January 13, 2026 City Council meeting and through that analysis there were five roads that were identified for speed limit changes. He said at the Council meeting there was discussion regarding Hoff Drive between Colony Road and Santos Avenue. Werner said the initial recommendation from staff was to increase the speed limit from 25 to 35 miles per hour but after considering Council's comments and reviewing the data a second time, staff changed the recommendation to 30 miles per hour.

Motion to waive the first reading and introduce Ordinance 934 amending Chapter

10.10, “Speed Limits,” of the Ripon Municipal Code to update the posted speed limits of five roadway segments, based on the findings of the 2025 Engineering and Traffic Survey.

3. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
Discussion/No Action LSC Transportation Consultants staff will provide the City Council an overview of
the draft Short Range Transit Plan for the
planning period of 2026-2036. With input
from the City Council, the final Short
Range Transit Plan will be presented at a
future City Council meeting for action to
approve the plan.

City Administrator Werner introduced Genevieve Evans with LSC Transportation. She said her team has been working to update the short-range transit plan, which is something that is done every five years or so.

City Council Page 9 February 10, 2026
Evans described Ripon’s demographics and said the City of Ripon has a low proportion of potentially transit-dependent individuals compared to California averages by population. She said San Joaquin County’s population is expected to increase in the coming years, and its senior population is expected to grow rapidly.

Evans said Blossom Express operates on a fixed route on Tuesdays and Thursdays and offers four round trips per day. She said the fare is $2.00 for a one-way general fare ticket.

Evans said the Blossom Express loops Ripon and then travels south to Vintage Faire Mall, Kaiser and Target in Modesto before returning to Ripon’s Library with ¾ mile deviations possible.

Evans said the ADA Paratransit or Dial-A-Ride requires that users must call City Hall at least 24 hours in advance to schedule a ride. She said the fare is $15.00 and the service is available to all disabled and senior residents. Evans said door-to-door service is available within a 15-mile radius of the City and operates weekdays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and there is no weekend service. She said the Dial-a-Ride numbers are a fraction of what they were pre-COVID with 234 riders in fiscal year 2019-20 and just 30 riders in fiscal year 2023-24.

Evans said Blossom Express ridership is still just over half of pre-COVID numbers with 685 riders for fiscal year 2023-24. She said the busiest months for the Blossom Express are February and April, Evans said she was not sure what made these months so popular.

Evans said an LSC surveyor was on-board the Blossom Express to survey riders on November 12 and November 14, 2026 and there were 4 respondents. She said respondents represented all age groups, 3 out of 4 respondents lacked alternative means of transportation and trip purposes included medical, shopping and school. She said respondents said information about Blossom Express services can be difficult to understand but overall perceptions of Blossom Express services were very positive.

Evans said LSC did an online community survey and 81% of respondents do not use the Blossom Express service and 72% of respondents do not use any other regional transit services. She said of those who do use transit 80% of participants use Blossom Express for recreation or social purposes and 60% of participants use the service for shopping.

She said most respondents agreed that public transit is an important community service in Ripon.

Evans said draft plan recommendations include expanding service on Tuesdays and Thursdays by 2 hours and expanding the deviation areas to all of the City of Ripon. She said this would have a minimal impact on resources. Evans said the draft plan also includes the recommendation to include microtransit services and said she believes this would allow for an additional 720 trips per year with an estimated cost of $60,000.

City Council Page 10 February 10, 2026
Evans explained that total operating revenue includes all funding sources, including Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds, Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds derived from state sales tax, with 25% required to be used for transit per SJCOG, a small contribution from Bethany Home, and Measure K funds. She noted that FTA funds are projected to increase by approximately 2% annually and that the transit program currently has a healthy carryover balance. Combined, these sources total approximately $1.66 million in the first year.

Evans stated that updated operating cost estimates are lower than previously projected, at approximately $146,000–$150,000 annually to operate as-is, with an additional $60,000 for the recommended short-range transit plan improvements. She advised that, after accounting for operating and capital considerations, there are sufficient funds to implement the draft recommendations and capital plan. She added that the City can apply for FTA Section 5339 grant funds, which typically cover 80% of vehicle purchases. She noted that due to low annual mileage, the two 30-passenger Gillig buses used for the Blossom Express would not require replacement until approximately 2037.

Council Member Zuber asked whether the Modesto stops are connected to the Modesto transit system and whether riders could transfer to other routes. Evans confirmed that Vintage Faire Mall is a major transfer point with access to several “S” routes and noted that wait times for transfers are sometimes as short as 15 minutes, though they can vary.

Zuber asked about reducing the $15 Dial-A-Ride fare, stating that it may be too expensive for some users. Evans responded that the fare could be reduced and suggested a range of $5–$10 as potentially reasonable, noting the importance of balancing affordability with demand.

Zuber expressed concern about pricing residents out of the service, while also acknowledging the need to avoid setting fares so low that demand exceeds capacity or results in high per-hour operating costs with minimal ridership. Evans said that for micro transit programs, a fare of approximately $4 is typical.

Evans also recommended setting aside additional funding for marketing and administrative support, including improving public awareness of Blossom Express and Dial-A-Ride. She said suggestions also included enhancing the website with clearer schedules and route maps and implementing a GTFS feed to integrate with Google Maps so riders can more easily plan trips.

Mayor Barton questioned whether expanding service hours through a proposed micro transit program justified the additional $60,000 annual cost, particularly given current ridership levels. Evans clarified that the proposed micro transit service would operate within Ripon on Friday and Saturday evenings and acknowledged that the decision ultimately rests with the Council. Zuber said that the Council receives transit funds that must be used for transit purposes or returned, and that some of the proposed service could be funded without impacting the general budget.

City Council Page 11 February 10, 2026
Council Member de Graaf said that while transit services do not fully recover their costs, they provide important community benefits, including access to medical appointments, shopping, dining, and support for local businesses, and that the Council must determine the appropriate level of service investment.

The Council discussed how transit service could support local community events. Zuber said that during the weekly farmers market, residents often struggle to find parking and suggested that a circulating transit route could transport attendees to and from the event, reducing parking congestion and improving access. Zuber said that this would allow more residents to participate without needing to drive.

Council discussed similar parking challenges during local football and baseball games. It was suggested that event-based transit service, particularly on Friday nights or during recurring events such as the farmers market, could provide a practical solution. Council discussed the idea of establishing a schedule aligned with community events held consistently over several months.

REPORTS
Department Heads:

Police Chief Sauer said there will be a community meeting on February 11, 2026 in the Emergency Operations Center at the Ripon Police Department at 7:00 PM.

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

Public Works Director Pease reported that April water usage was down 9% compared to last year’s numbers.

Pease said that the Recycling Center will be closed on February 21, 2026 for Almond Blossom.

City Administrator Werner passed out an update of engineering projects and said that work has begun on pedestrian improvements at key intersections along Fulton Avenue between River Road and the Fulton overpass. He also noted that the project includes widening Fulton Avenue from two lanes to four lanes between Colony Road and near the Fulton overpass.

Werner said that one of the Council’s recent priorities is the resurfacing of West Ripon Road from Jack Tone Road to the City limits, and that engineering work on the project has begun. He said that it is a relatively small project and is anticipated to go out to bid in April. He added that resurfacing of River Road between Jack Tone Road and North Ripon is also in progress, with a similar April bid timeframe.

Werner said that the Community Center parking lot and baseball fields project is nearing completion of design and will be going out to bid soon.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIPON

ACCEPTING A GRANT DEED OF

CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY TO THE

CITY OF RIPON
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.

City Attorney Terpstra Jr. said the resolution that was included in the agenda packet needed to be updated to reflect that Calvary Reformed Church has not yet executed the grant deed.

He said staff anticipates that will happen later this week. He said Council has a redline version of the resolution with the amendments delegating authority to the Mayor to accept the deed once it is tendered to the City.

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.

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.

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.

Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Jan 13, 2026 6:00 PM (Approval of Minutes) 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.

Mayor Barton said he wanted to thank everyone for attending the meeting.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Lisa Roos, City Clerk & Finance Director
Date: 02/10/2026
Subject: Fees for Extra Garbage Services update
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Adopt a resolution updating the fees for additional customer-requested garbage services.

BACKGROUND:

Chapter 8.12 of the Ripon Municipal Code governs garbage collection and disposal within the City of Ripon. Section 8.12.250 authorizes the City Council to modify rates and establish regulations related to solid waste services, stating:
“For the purpose of carrying out the collection of solid waste in the City, the City Council, may, by resolution, change the rates for services contained in this Chapter, or establish any other rules and regulations necessary to carry out the intent and purposes of this Chapter.”
The City’s garbage fund is an enterprise fund and is operated on a cost-recovery basis.

Customers are charged for typical service through monthly rates, which is approved by the voters through a process defined by Proposition 218. Additional fees are charged for services that may be requested by garbage customers, as defined in the table below.

Type of Service Definition
Go Back When a customer fails to comply with black/green can(s) regulations and we must go back to dump. Examples include the can is not out by 6:00am on the pickup day, a can is overfilled, or the can is not at least 5 feet from any obstruction.

Extra Dump When a customer requests an extra dump of a black or green can.

Extra Can on Extra Dumps When a customer has multiple cans as part of their regular service, and has requested an extra dump in addition to their first can.

Go Back for Green can on Black
Can Day
If a customer requests a go back for their green can and puts it out with their black can for pickup.

Tubbie Dump A request for a temporary 300-gallon can for a maximum of one week.

1.3.B
Packet Pg. 73
Interruption of Garbage Service
-- interruption should not be more
than 6 months.

According to Section 8.12.225, a customer can apply for a temporary interruption of service of at least 3 months.

Yard Waste Collection/ Brush Pick
Up
When a customer requests the collection of yard waste outside the City’s free Brush Pick Up Program.

Overloaded Garbage Can If a can is overloaded there may be a surcharge fee.

The last update to these fees occurred in July 2023 when, the City Council adopted Resolution 23-32. This resolution indexed the fees annually to the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

DISCUSSION:

Staff evaluated each of the current fees associated with the services described in the above table to ensure the fee being collected reflects the actual cost of providing the requested service. The table below summarizes the current and proposed fees:

Type of Service Current Fee Proposed Fee
Go Back
$20.35
Surcharge of one-half of
residential black can monthly rate
(rate will be $24.50)
Extra Dump (of 1 can)
$20.35
Surcharge of one-half of
residential black can monthly rate
(rate will be $24.50)
Extra Can on Extra Dumps $5.40 per additional can $6.00 Go Back of Green can on Black Can Day $2.15 $6.00
Tubbie Dump
$46.20 per dump
Surcharge of one-quarter of
commercial tubbie monthly rate
(rate will be $55.60)
Interruption of Garbage Service
** interruption should not be more than 6
months.
$88.40 nonrefundable
application fee
$88.40 nonrefundable application
fee
Overloaded Garbage Can
Surcharge of one-half of the
normal monthly rate
Surcharge of one-half of
residential black can monthly rate
(rate will be $24.50)
Yard Waste Collection/Brush Pick Up
3 ½ CY = $64.70 3 ½ CY = $77.60
7 CY = $107.80 7 CY = $129.40
10 ½ CY = $134.75 10 ½ CY = $161.60
14 CY = $172.50 14 CY = $207.00
Because these services are directly related to garbage utility costs, staff recommends indexing the fees annually each February to the garbage utility rates approved by the City Council as part of the annual utility rate review process, rather than to the CPI.

Subject: General Fund Transfer to Street & Roads Reserve for 2024-25 RECOMMENDED ACTION:

This resolution approves the financial transfer to the Street and Road Reserve Fund for Fiscal Year 2024-25.

BACKGROUND:

In 2015, the City Council approved a policy (Resolution 15-23) that requires 33 percent of any General Fund surplus be transferred to the Street & Road Reserve Fund with the purpose of providing a new funding source dedicated to reconstructing the streets and roads in Ripon that have exceeded their useful life.

DISCUSSION:

The financial audit has been completed by Price Paige and Company for Fiscal Year 2024-25.

Below is a summary of the audited General Fund financials:

From: Lisa Roos, City Clerk & Finance Director
Date: 02/10/2026
Subject: Mission Square 457 Retirement Plan Changes
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve the recommended changes to the City of Ripon’s Deferred Compensation 457 Plan and authorize the Mayor, City Administrator or City Clerk to execute all necessary documents to implement these changes.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Ripon established a voluntary Deferred Compensation 457 Plan in 1976. In September 2001, the City began a 457 Plan with ICMA, which is now known as Mission Square.

It also offered a second plan through Strategic Retirement (currently Newport) beginning in September 2009 to provide options to employees. The Plan for Strategic Retirement/Newport mimics the ICMA/Mission Square Plan.

The Trustees for both plans are City Administrator Kevin Werner and City Clerk Lisa Roos, by name. and were updated in 2014. Over the last 50 years, the City’s 457 Plans have been amended in order to be in compliance with IRS regulations, to change investment types or to change the name of the record keepers or the custodians. 457 Plans are beneficial to government employees because they allow them to contribute additional pre-tax dollars into a retirement account separate from the City’s Defined Contribution Plan (401a) or Defined Benefit Plan (CalPERS) allowing for another retirement investment opportunity for employees. An additional benefit to 457 Plans is that there is no early withdrawal penalty when someone separates from the City.

The IRS sets limits on how much individuals can contribute to their 457 Plan and this amount is adjusted each year. For 2026, the maximum contribution is $24,500. Employees over 50 can contribution an additional $8,000 catch-up and employees ages 60-63 can contribute a $11,250 “super catch-up” instead of the $8,000.

1.4.A
Packet Pg. 79
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Due to the Secure 2.0 Act starting in 2026, if an employee earned over $150,000 in wages in the prior year, their catch up contributions must be Roth Contributions. If the employer does not offer a Roth option within their plan, then the employee cannot make the additional catch-up contributions. A Roth contribution is an after-tax payment where taxes are paid up front, allowing the money to grow tax-free until retirement. Staff recommends the City’s current plan be modified to comply with the Secure 2.0 Act.

In addition to the changes to comply with the Secure 2.0 Act, staff is recommending changes that would provide increased flexibility for City employees who choose to participate. Participation in the 457 Plan is completely voluntary, and all contributions to the plan are 100 percent employee-funded. Staff recommends offering employees the following options to enhance flexibility beyond what is currently available:
 Age 60-63 catch-up – allows someone age 60-63 to contribute the additional amount set annually by the IRS.
 Qualified Federally Declared Disaster Relief Distribution - allows someone to take a distribution when a federally disaster is declared in their area.  Emergency Expense Withdrawals – allows someone to take a withdrawal for an emergency incurred.
 Self-Certification for Unforeseeable Emergency Withdrawals – allows someone to selfcertify their Emergency event for a withdrawal without the City’s approval.  Penalty-free Withdrawals for Individuals in Case of Domestic Abuse – allows someone to take a penalty-free withdrawal if it is related to domestic abuse.  Eliminate the “first day of the month” requirement for 457(b) plans – allows employee to begin participating upon employment and not have to wait until the first day of the following month.
 In Service Distributions at Age 59.5 – allows employees to take distributions if they are still working and have attained age 59.5
 Qualified Birth and Adoption Distributions – allows someone to take a distribution for birth and adoption expenses.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact to the City for this change.

Subject: EV Charging Station Project Change Order #1
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve Change Order No. 1 for the addition of two bollards on the eastern side of the Corporation Yard, in the not to exceed amount of $3,748.44 (funding source: Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) Grant).

BACKGROUND:

The Electric Vehicle Charging Station Project was awarded to Valley 29 Electric, LLC at the December 9, 2025 City Council meeting for an amount of $135,650.00. The Electric Vehicle Charging Station Project includes the installation of five (5) electric vehicle chargers at the Corporation Yard and two (2) chargers at City Hall.

DISCUSSION:

The eastern side of the Corporation Yard experiences frequent traffic from large vehicles, including garbage trucks and heavy equipment, which creates a risk of damage to the new electric vehicle chargers. To mitigate this risk, staff is recommending the following contract change:
 Installation of two bollards.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The attached Change Order No. 1 is in the amount of $3,748.44 and will be funded through the CRP Grant. The amended construction contract price is shown in Table 1.

Subject: Claim - Robert Umberger
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

The City’s claim adjustor has investigated the submitted claim and is recommending the City Council settle the claim in the amount of $20,000.

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.D
Packet Pg. 85

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:

Robert Umberger submitted a claim to the City of Ripon on October 2, 2025 for an incident that happened at Mistlin Sports Park on September 23, 2025.

The CSJVRMA claims adjustor has reviewed the claim submitted along with staff interviews, pictures and City notes and found the liability is adverse to the City. He has been working with the claimant to resolve this issue and is looking for formal acceptance by the Council to settle this claim in the amount of $20,000.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Ken Zuidervaart, Planning Director
Date: 02/10/2026
Subject: BaseCamp Environmental, Inc.

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve and authorize the Mayor to execute a Professional Services Agreement with BaseCamp Environmental, Inc. for the provision of on-call environmental consulting services related to private development projects. All costs associated with these services shall be funded through individual reimbursement accounts for the applicable private development projects.

BACKGROUND:

BaseCamp Environmental, Inc. is an environmental consulting firm with extensive experience preparing Environmental Impact Reports, Initial Studies, and other environmental documents for a wide range of project types. These include, but not limited to, urban development and transportation projects; mining operations; recreation and resort development; energy projects; flood protection and water management; street widening and bridge replacement; and communication systems.

BaseCamp Environmental, Inc. has previously provided environmental consulting services for private development projects within the City of Ripon and is familiar with the City’s regulatory framework and procedures.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

City staff proposes entering into a Professional Services Agreement with BaseCamp Environmental, Inc. to provide environmental consulting services on an as-needed basis, solely at the request of the City and exclusively in connection with private development projects.

Services under this agreement would be performed only upon specific authorization by the City and through written task orders approved by the City and the applicable project applicant. The agreement includes an overall aggregate not-to-exceed amount of $300,000 for the two-year term.

1.4.F
Packet Pg. 89
For each private development project requiring environmental services, BaseCamp Environmental, Inc. would prepare a project-specific written scope of work and cost proposal in the form of a task order. No services would commence unless and until the task order, including the scope of work and cost proposal, has received written approval from the project applicant.

Any amendments to an approved task order, scope of work, or cost proposal would likewise require written approval from the project applicant prior to implementation.

The proposed agreement is intended to streamline the City’s processing of private development projects that require elevated levels of environmental review. This approach allows the City to operate under a single professional services agreement while maintaining flexibility for individual project applicants to review, direct, and approve project-specific task orders and amendments, without the need to return to the City Council for approval of each individual project engagement.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There will be no fiscal impact to the City associated with this Professional Services Agreement.

All costs incurred will be fully reimbursed through individual reimbursement accounts established for the applicable private development projects.

MEMO

Date: 02/10/2026
Subject: Stanislaus County Bike Bridge Assistance Agreement RECOMMENDED ACTION:

This resolution approves the Reimbursement Agreement between the City of Ripon and Stanislaus County and authorizes the Mayor to execute the Reimbursement Agreement.

BACKGROUND:

In October 2023, the Stanislaus River Bike & Pedestrian Bridge sustained severe damage during a powerful windstorm, necessitating extensive repairs. Following a comprehensive inspection by a qualified structural engineer, it was determined that a new segment would need to be constructed to replace the damaged section.

The damaged section was replaced and the bridge reopened to the public in July 2025.

The total cost to complete the repair was $562,043, which included consultant to evaluate damage, permit application, environmental review, and the segment replacement. The City submitted a property insurance claim, which covered all of the cost outside of the City’s deductible of $100,000. The San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) and Stanislaus County each offered to reimburse the City of Ripon for one-third of the deductible amount.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

On August 5, 2024, the San Joaquin Council of Governments reimbursed the City for about onethird of the deductible ($30,000).

The attached resolution approves the Reimbursement Agreement between Stanislaus County and the City of Ripon, which provides for the reimbursement of one-third of the City’s property insurance deductible to the City of Ripon.

1.4.G
Packet Pg. 99
FISCAL IMPACT:

The City has paid all expenses for the repair of the Stanislaus River Bike/Pedestrian Bridge from the General Fund. After property insurance reimbursement and the deductible reimbursement from SJCOG and Stanislaus County, the fiscal impact to the General Fund will be $37,000.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Spencer Schroen, Associate Civil Engineer
Date: 02/10/2026
Subject: Potholing Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the contract with Allen A. Waggoner Construction, Inc. to perform utility potholing in support of the design of roadway improvements planned south of Main Street in the amount of $34,995 (funding source: Street & Road Operating Fund).

BACKGROUND:

The City of Ripon, like many other cities throughout California, is facing a challenge maintaining streets and roads due to inadequate funding. Prior to the passing of the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Senate Bill 1), the gas tax rates approved in the mid-1990s have not been indexed to keep up with increasing cost of streets and roads capital repairs, which has resulted in a funding shortfall. Because of this, Ripon like most California cities, focused the limited revenue on preventing asphalt from failing and requiring expensive reconstruction of the street section.

Unfortunately, this approach did not address the worst roads in Ripon that require expensive reconstruction of the street section. The City Council has established the following policies to begin to identify funding needed to address the cost of reconstruction:
 In 2015, the City Council established a policy to transfer 33 percent of any General Fund surplus to a Street and Road Reserve Fund to fund the reconstruction of roads that have failed.
 In 2021, the City Council established a policy to transfer 50 percent of the Street & Road fund annual surplus to a Streets and Roads Reconstruction Fund. The annual surplus is the difference between the operating revenue received from state and local sources dedicated for streets and roads maintenance and the expense of City staff to perform all in-house maintenance activities, such as pothole repair, crack sealing, sign replacement, and landscape maintenance.

1.4.H
Packet Pg. 110
The City of Ripon receives dedicated revenue from State and Federal sources to fund the City’s streets and roads maintenance program, including crack patching, signage, striping, pothole repairs, overlays, resurfacing, reconstruction, and landscape maintenance.

As part of the 2024-25 Strategic Planning meeting, the City Council directed staff to prepare a capital maintenance plan to maximize the use of the limited revenue received from State and Federal sources, as well as the local funds being set aside as previously described. This plan divides the City into 8 areas that are made up of roughly the same miles of roadways. The goal is to obtain a contractor to complete the necessary capital improvements (e.g., slurry, overlay, or reconstruction) within a designated area every 2-4 years. The figure below shows the limits for these planned capital project areas.

1.4.H
Packet Pg. 111
Area 1 was completed in 2025, and included approximately 0.4 lane miles of reconstruction and about 13.5 lane miles of surface rehabilitation.

Area 2 was completed in 2026, and included approximately 1 lane mile of reconstruction and 15 lane miles of surface rehabilitation.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Engineering staff is currently planning for street and road improvements within Area 3, which includes roadways south of Main Street. Some roadways within Area 3 will require complete reconstruction because of the excessive road crown. During the design process, potential conflicts between the proposed roadway improvements – specifically the lowering of the road crown - and existing utilities are identified to improve the accuracy of the cost estimate, facilitate coordination with utility companies, and minimize construction delays.

Staff has requested a scope and fee from Allen A. Waggoner Construction, Inc. to perform exploratory utility potholing within Area 3, where vertical conflicts may exist to verify the depths of existing utilities.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total cost of $34,995 for construction of the Potholing Project will be funded through the Street & Road Operating Fund.

Subject: Professional Services Agreement - George Montross RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the Professional Services Agreement with George Montross to assist in the development and oversight of a State mandated Cross-Connection Control Plan in the not to exceed amount of $10,000.00 (funding source: Water Enterprise Operating Fund).

BACKGROUND:

The City operates a public drinking water system regulated by the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), Division of Drinking Water (DDW) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Under Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations, all public water systems are required to maintain an active Cross-Connection Control Program (CCCP). The purpose of the program is to prevent contamination of the potable water system from backflow events caused by crossconnections.

A cross-connection is any physical connection between the public water system and a nonpotable source such as irrigation systems, fire sprinkler systems, industrial processes, or chemical systems. If pressure fluctuations occur (main breaks, hydrant use, pump failures), contaminants can be drawn into the drinking water distribution system.

DISCUSSION:

Ripon has regularly updated its CCCP as required by DDW and no cross-connection contamination issues have been found or reported. In 2025, the SWRCB amended existing policy to strengthen their oversight of CCCPs throughout the State. Public water systems must now demonstrate their CCCP is formally documented, actively administered, maintains complete records of hazard assessments and annual testing in addition to being overseen by certified

1.4.I
Packet Pg. 124
personnel.

Certified personnel include a Cross-Connection Control Specialist, the technical authority responsible for ensuring contaminated water does not enter the public drinking water system through backflow events. The City of Ripon does not have a specialist on staff who has completed the State required training and passed the certification examination.

Staff reached out to George Montross who is a certified Cross-Connection Control Specialist and experienced professional in the field of water quality for public drinking water systems to request a scope and fee to assist the City to comply with the new regulations. These services, as described in Exhibit A of the Professional Services Agreement, include reviewing and approving the City of Ripon CCCP prior to submission to DDW and periodically updating the program as necessary.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The attached Professional Services Agreement with George Montross to assist the City with fulfilling new CCCP requirements is for a not to exceed amount of $10,000 over a two-year period, funded through the Water Enterprise Operating Fund.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Lisa Roos, City Clerk & Finance Director
Date: 02/10/2026
Subject: Quarterly Investment Report Review
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Accept the City’s quarterly investment report for the period ending December 31, 2025.

BACKGROUND:

The following report is the City’s quarterly investment report for the period ending December 31, 2025. This report summarizes:
 City’s investment policy that was adopted by the Council in 1996 and amended in 2003 and in 2023
 Average rate of return for the last 12 months for all City investments  List of individual investments with balances and rate of return as of the end of the period.

The rate of return that are shown in the report are for the most recent 12-month period.

The City maintains money in both shorter-term daily liquidity investments, such as LAIF, and longer-term investments held at the Bank of New York. The shorter-term investments allow the City to earn interest, which is normally lower than the interest from longer-term investments, while the funds remain liquid and can quickly be transferred from time to time to cover operational costs of the City throughout the year. In addition to quarterly interest earned, the long term investments at the Bank of New York also experience an increase or decrease of capital (unrealized gains or losses), which is taken into consideration in their annual rate of return, but not booked into the City’s cash-basis financial statements.

In May 2023, the City added California Asset Management Program (CAMP) as a short-term investment option. Within CAMP, the City can invest in liquid funds or in term funds. Term funds have a set maturity date and interest rate, which allows the City to take advantage of higher rates on funds that are not needed as liquid funds. However, interest is not received until maturity on these Term funds.

Packet Pg. 134
The investments held at the Bank of New York have longer durations, as such, our goal is to normally not access the funds for liquidity purposes. It is not uncommon during federal tightening cycles for money market funds and pools similar to LAIF to have yields that surpass longer duration portfolios such as the investments held at the Bank of New York. CAMP has a shorter duration than LAIF, so in a rising interest rate market, CAMP’s returns will be higher than LAIF’s returns. However, when interest rates decrease, then LAIF and CAMP typically have lower returns than Bank of New York.

Below is a table showing the investments listed above and the interest that was earned, although may not be realized, in this quarter:

*Bank of New York interest received during the quarter does not include realized/unrealized gains and losses of these investments. Rate of return noted here is the annual total rate of return. **Interest earned this quarter does not match interest received because some investments are CAMP Term Funds and interest is not received until maturity.

Interest generated from the various investments is allocated quarterly as revenue to the various City funds, based on each funds’ balance at that time.

Section 115 Trust
In October 2022, $1,135,396.65 was initially deposited into the City’s Section 115 Trust with PARS. In addition, the annual savings from the refinancing of the 2020 Redevelopment bond has been directed by the City Council to be deposited into the Section 115 Trust, as described below:

FY 21/22 Refinancing Savings: $157,569
FY 22/23 Refinancing Savings: $161,681
FY 23/24 Refinancing Savings: $161,805
FY 24/25 Refinancing Savings: $162,117
FY 25/26 Refinancing Savings: $136,064

The quarterly rate of return for the 115 Trust was 1.99%; however, the annual rate of return is listed in the table above.

The fund balance of the 115 Trust can be used to pay CalPERS normal cost and/or pay down the unfunded liability, which was $6,959,317 as of the June 30, 2024 CalPERS Valuation Report.

On September 13, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution 22-39 adopting investment guidelines for this 115 Trust. In addition to the investment guidelines, this resolution states that these funds can be used to pay CalPERS expenses when there is a deficit in the City’s General Fund with City Council concurrence, or as directed by the City Council.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Kevin Werner, City Administrator
Date: 02/10/2026
Subject: Speed Limits Ordinance Amendment
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Adopt an ordinance amending Chapter 10.10, “Speed Limits,” of the Ripon Municipal Code to update the posted speed limits of five roadway segments, based on the findings of the 2025 Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS).

BACKGROUND:

Chapter 10.10 of the Ripon Municipal Code establishes the City’s authority and procedures for setting, maintaining, and updating posted speed limits within city limits. These procedures are based on the requirements outlined in the California Vehicle Code, which mandates that all posted speed limits be supported by a valid E&TS.

The City’s previous E&TS was completed in 2015. In order to maintain the legal enforceability of posted speed limits, a new survey was required. The 2025 E&TS was conducted over a sixmonth period and included the collection and analysis of traffic data from 41 roadway segments throughout the City.

Based on the survey results, City staff is recommending speed limit adjustments for the following five roadway segments:

Fourth Street from S. Stockton Ave. to Dead End – increase from 25 mph to 30 mph Garrison Way from Maple Ave. to Kamps Way – increase from 25 mph to 30 mph Hoff Drive from Colony Rd. to Santos Ave. – increase from 25 mph to 30 mph Parallel Avenue from Reynolds Ave. to E. Main St. – increase from 25 mph to 30 mph Santos Avenue from Hoff Dr. to Frontage Rd. – increase from 25 mph to 35 mph An overview of the 2025 E&TS, along with the recommended changes to the posted speed limits, was presented to the public and the Ripon City Council at the January 2026 City Council meeting. During that discussion, the City Council provided feedback regarding the recommended

2.A
Packet Pg. 139
speed limit for Hoff Drive. While the original recommendation was to increase the posted speed limit to 35 mph, after further discussion and consideration of City Council’s feedback, staff revised the recommended posted speed limit for Hoff Drive to 30 mph.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The proposed ordinance amends Chapter 10.10 of the Ripon Municipal Code to incorporate the findings of the 2025 E&TS and update the posted speed limits on the five roadway segments identified above. These changes are consistent with traffic engineering standards and are intended to reflect prevailing traffic conditions while maintaining public safety.

This ordinance all designates the City Engineer responsible for conducting all engineering and traffic surveys to establish, maintain and enforce prima facie speed limits.

Following is the proposed ordinance recommended for first reading and introduction, including the redline changes showing the proposed text changes to the Municipal Code and labeled, “10.10 Speed Limits Amendment Redline”.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed ordinance is expected to have minimal fiscal impact. Costs will be limited to replacing speed limit signage to reflect the approved changes.
