2. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Ionna Electric Vehicle Charging Station This is a public hearing to consider a request for a Development Agreement
with the City of Ripon to allow
development of an approximately 0.63-
acre site at 1504 W. Colony Road as an
unmanned electric vehicle charging station
within the C4 (Highway Service
Commercial) zoning district.

Recommended Action:

No action is required; however, if the City
Council agrees with the recommendations
of the Planning Commission and staff, the
appropriate motion would be to approve
the Development Agreement, waive the
first reading, and introduce the ordinance
listed later on this agenda.

Planning Director Zuidervaart said the Planning Commission approved a vehicle charging station project in October 2025 on a vacant parcel located near the La Quinta Hotel and Starbucks. He said as part of the project approval, the applicant was required to enter into a development agreement prior to the issuance of building permits.

Zuidervaart explained that the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed development agreement last month and recommended City Council approval. He noted that development agreements are used by the City to formalize project-specific requirements and ensure continued compliance with approved project conditions.

City Council Page 9 May 12, 2026
Zuidervaart said the proposed agreement does not create any new requirements but instead memorializes the obligations and conditions that were established during the original project approval process. He that the item was being presented as a public hearing and that a related ordinance for first reading and introduction would appear later on the agenda.

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

PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
B. ZONING CODE TEXT AMENDMENT
TAZ 26-38 pertaining to new State
mandated regulations for Accessory
Dwelling Units
This is a public hearing to receive public
testimony and consider the proposed
amendments to Title 16, Chapter 16.86
(“Accessory Dwelling Units”) of the
Ripon Municipal Code.

Recommended Action:

No action is required; however, if the City
Council agrees with the recommendations
of the Planning Commission and staff, the
appropriate motion would be to waive the
first reading and introduce the ordinance
listed later on this agenda.

Planning Director Zuidervaart said the City is updating its Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) ordinance to comply with multiple State laws adopted over the past five years. He explained that California has significantly changed how cities must regulate ADUs, limiting local discretion and requiring approval when projects meet objective standards. He said the City’s current ordinance no longer reflects these updates and that failure to comply could expose the City to legal challenges and further loss of local control.

Zuidervaart explained that State law now recognizes two primary categories of ADUs.

The first category, referred to as “State-exempt” ADUs under California Government Code Section 66323, must be approved ministerially with very limited local discretion if they meet specific criteria related to size and configuration. He said these units are governed almost entirely by state standards, including reduced setbacks and height allowances. The second category, referred to as “non-exempt” ADUs, still requires ministerial approval, but allows cities to apply limited objective standards related to height, setbacks, and design, provided those standards do not conflict with state law or prevent construction of an ADU.

Zuidervaart said several development standards must be revised to comply with state law.

The City must allow at least one ADU up to 800 square feet on residential lots without exception, and it can no longer limit ADUs to a single story. Instead, height limitations City Council Page 10 May 12, 2026
are controlled by state law. He added that setbacks are now limited to four feet and that conversions of existing structures may require no setbacks at all if the building already exists in place.

Zuidervaart said recent state law changes also eliminate owner-occupancy requirements that were previously allowed for junior accessory dwelling units. As a result, property owners may now rent out a main home, a junior ADU, and a separate ADU on the same property. He also noted that design standards must now be fully objective, meaning the City can no longer require ADUs to match the primary residence in materials, colors, or roofing styles for state-exempt units.

Zuidervaart said parking requirements, utility charges, and development fees are now heavily regulated by state law. In some circumstances, the City may charge only limited fees, while in other cases no fees may be charged at all. He added that the City must also establish clear and streamlined application procedures with shorter approval timelines in order to remain compliant with state requirements.

Zuidervaart concluded by stating that the practical effect of these changes is that more ADUs will now be allowed by right on residential properties throughout Ripon. While the City retains some ability to apply objective standards to certain projects, he emphasized that state law now largely governs how ADUs must be processed and approved.

Council Member de Graaf asked if we can require rezoning when an ADU is added.

Zuidervaart said no.

Council Member Zuber asked if the ordinance addresses concerns raised from the public, of which a letter was on the dais. City Attorney Terpstra said the concerns raised about the City’s ADU ordinance were based on what staff believes is a misreading of the ordinance language. He explained that the ordinance is structured to separately address state-exempt ADUs, non-exempt ADUs, and general requirements that apply to all accessory dwelling units. Within the general requirements section, he said the ordinance includes language stating “except as otherwise specified in this chapter,” which creates a distinction between the various ADU categories. Terpstra explained that for non-exempt ADUs, the City maintains a limit of one ADU and one junior ADU per residential lot, which is permissible under current State law. He clarified that the ordinance contains specific carve-outs for State-exempt ADUs, which are processed differently in accordance with State requirements.

Council Member Restuccia asked if the ordinance meets the requirements of the law.

Zuidervaart explained that once the City adopts the updated ADU ordinance through the Planning Commission and City Council process, the ordinance must then be submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for review.

He said HCD may provide comments or requested changes after reviewing the ordinance, and staff will attempt to address those comments administratively whenever possible.

However, he noted that some revisions may require returning to the City Council for additional amendments recommended by HCD.

Barton expressed frustration with the State’s approach to housing policy, stating that California often imposes one-size-fits-all mandates on local governments and requires City Council Page 11 May 12, 2026
cities to implement them. He said Ripon’s identity is shaped by both its residents and the character of its neighborhoods, and he believes the State’s ADU laws have the potential to significantly alter that character.

Barton said he viewed the situation as a poor outcome for local communities and expressed disappointment that the City has limited ability to push back against the State requirements. He concluded by saying that although staff had explained there is little discretion left at the local level, he remained deeply frustrated by the mandates being imposed on cities.

PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
Emil Guillermo said he is concerned about who ultimately controls or limits the number of ADUs that may be constructed within the community. He questioned whether there is any cap on permits or any review authority that could prevent large numbers of ADUs from being built in residential neighborhoods. Guillermo said he was particularly concerned about the potential cumulative impacts on infrastructure, neighborhood character and quality of life if multiple property owners in a neighborhood decided to construct ADUs at the same time.

Guillermo asked whether concerns or objections would be handled locally through the Planning Commission or whether authority now rests primarily with the State. He said residents may assume there are protections in place to regulate growth and infrastructure impacts, similar to the review process required for new subdivisions. He expressed concern that widespread ADU development could significantly impact sewer, water, and neighborhood conditions and asked how the City would respond if those impacts began to occur.

Zuidervaart explained that ADUs are now largely regulated by State law and are considered “by right” uses, meaning the City has very limited discretion to deny them if they meet objective standards. He said residents can apply directly through the building department without Planning Commission review and acknowledged that multiple neighbors could legally construct ADUs on their properties. He added that the City’s only meaningful limitation would be infrastructure capacity, such as sewer or water system constraints, though he noted Ripon’s infrastructure has generally been built to accommodate future demand.

Terpstra added that land use decisions have historically been handled at the local level, where cities traditionally had broad authority over development regulations. However, he said the State has increasingly stepped into that role with ADU legislation, requiring cities to implement standards they would not otherwise choose to adopt. He described the situation as a significant shift away from local control over residential land use decisions.

City Clerk Roos said staff received a public comment from the California Housing Defense Fund regarding amendments to the proposed changes to the ADU ordinance.

4. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. AGENDA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Discussion/Action Staff to present the agenda and meeting management systems evaluated. Staff is
recommending to move forward with the
eScribe Premium Bundle agenda and
meeting management system, which
includes YouTube integration. The
proposed cost for eScribe includes an
annual subscription fee of $18,000 and a
one-time implementation fee of $1,200
(funding source: General Fund).

City Clerk Roos explained that the City currently uses the Digital Boardroom platform provided by Granicus and IQM2, which has been in place since 2017. However, she said the MinuteTraq component of the system will no longer be supported after September 2026, prompting the City Clerk’s Department to begin researching replacement options.

She said staff consulted with other city clerks and reviewed several software platforms to determine the best path forward.

Roos said staff initially reviewed approximately six different software systems, ultimately narrowing the list to two finalists that appeared to best meet the City’s needs.

She explained that some of the other options were not recommended by other agencies, were themselves nearing obsolescence, or would not adequately support the City’s operations. She said the City’s priorities included the ability to efficiently create staff reports, agendas, and minutes, while also allowing council members to review agendas, make notes, vote electronically during meetings, and reference prior council actions.

Roos explained that the two options under consideration were Escribe and Granicus Peak.

Escribe would cost approximately $18,000 annually with a one-time implementation cost of $1,200, while Granicus Peak carried a similar annual cost but required nearly $11,000 in one-time implementation expenses. Based on demonstrations and staff evaluation, she said staff recommended selecting Escribe because it appeared more functional and userfriendly for the City’s needs, not simply because it was less expensive.

Roos said the proposed system would maintain the same functionality currently available to the City Council, including agenda review, note-taking, and electronic voting during meetings. She added that the software would also enhance public access by integrating with YouTube and allowing viewers to click directly on agenda items to jump to specific portions of meeting recordings. She noted that implementation is expected to take approximately 12 weeks, with a target completion date by the end of September. Roos concluded by requesting Council authorization to proceed with Escribe, noting that the annual and one-time costs are already accounted for within the City’s existing budget.

Barton asked about the annual cost increases included in the software proposals, noting that the projected 6% to 7% yearly increases appeared high compared to inflation and asking how the vendors justified those increases. Roos said that the City’s current City Council Page 14 May 12, 2026
provider had increased costs by at least 7% annually over the past several years, with one proposed increase reaching 20% before staff negotiated it down.

Roos explained that under the proposed Escribe contract, annual increases would be capped at 6% and locked into a three-year agreement. She said the initial annual cost would be approximately $18,000, with 6% increases applied in each subsequent year of the contract term.

Motion to approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the Agreement with eScribe for the Premium Bundle agenda and meeting management system, which includes YouTube integration, with an annual subscription of $18,000 and a one-time implementation fee of $1,200.

REPORTS
Department Heads:

Planning Director Zuidervaart said there is a Planning Commission meeting on Monday, April 20, 2026. He said the Ripon Vet Clinic would like to expand their hours and add emergency vet services.

Public Works Director Pease reported that April water usage was down 24% compared to 2013 figures, and down 5% from last year.

Pease said that the large item pickup program has begun, and residents can sign up for a one-time pickup of up to four items through September.

City Council:

Council Member de Graaf thanked those who attended the meeting.

Mayor Barton said he recently returned from a recent trip to Washington, D.C.; it was interesting experience. He said the City did not a have a specific project, but noted that the significant growth occurring in South County communities, particularly Manteca, Mountain House and Tracy, continues to impact Ripon, especially with regard to traffic. He said he hopes that federal representatives will recognize the regional transportation challenges created by that growth and direct funding toward roadway improvements to help address those impacts.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:45 PM. (Signed) Gary Barton

Discussion/Action Approve the Sierra Golf Management
request to fund various improvements at
the Ripon Golf Club in the amount of
$83,245.93 (funding source: Golf Course
Capital Improvement Account Fund).

Recreation Director Stevens said Sierra Golf Management submitted a request to use long-term capital improvement funds for several facility upgrades and the committee conducted a site tour to review the proposals. He noted that the first three items, including the maintenance shed, trees and fencing were recommended for approval. He explained that items four through seven had fallen into disrepair over time, and the Committee supported a one-time approval to bring the course up to acceptable standards.

Stevens said that the Committee is recommending approval of 50% of the total request, amounting to $83,245.93.

Mayor Barton asked for Steven’s impression of the Golf Course after several months of new management. Stevens said staff is impressed with the improvements made and that the owners seem very interested in improving the course.

Council Member de Graaf said he sees a vast difference in the way the course looks and it has vastly improved.

Barton asked if Sierra Golf Management is satisfied with the amount of customers.

Stevens confirmed.

Council Member Zuber said he noticed there are some really positive comments on social media regarding the golf course.

B. SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
Discussion/Action Approve the 2026 Short-Range Transit
Plan that evaluates the transit demand in
Ripon and provides recommended changes
to Ripon transit services designed to
improve mobility and/or cost efficiency
over the next 10 years.

City Administrator Werner stated that the City’s consultant prepared a Short-Range Transit Plan (Plan) for City Council consideration which is intended to serve as a comprehensive 10-year roadmap for transit service operations in Ripon. He said the Plan was developed through a combination of demographic analysis, review of current and regional transit services, projected revenue and funding capacity, and extensive public and stakeholder outreach.

Werner explained that the planning process included an online public survey, on-board rider outreach, stakeholder meetings with major users of the system, such as Bethany Home and other service partners, and a public workshop held with the Council and community to identify transit needs. He said that Ripon’s transit needs differ significantly from other communities due to its demographics and service patterns.

Werner said that the Plan recommends continuing the existing Blossom Express fixedroute service operating on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM, which provides access to key destinations within Ripon as well as regional destinations in Modesto, Stanislaus County, such as Kaiser medical facilities and Target. He said the Plan also includes a recommendation to retain the service initially and re-evaluate expansion or reduction based on performance data collected after implementation of other service changes.

Werner stated that the Plan also recommends expanding the City’s dial-a-ride program, which is currently operated using volunteer drivers but has experienced reliability challenges, by hiring a part-time driver to provide service Monday through Thursday from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM. He said the dial-a-ride service would offer trips anywhere within Ripon and Stanislaus County, with proposed fares of $15 per one-way trip for the public and $5 per one-way trip for seniors and individuals with disabilities.

Werner said that the dial-a-ride service boundary is intentionally limited to Stanislaus County to avoid duplication with the existing San Joaquin Regional Transit District VanGo! on-demand service, which already provides regional coverage including Ripon and San Joaquin County destinations through advance reservation. 1 Packet Pg. 21
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Apr 14, 2026 6:00 PM (Approval of Minutes) City Council Page 8 April 14, 2026
Werner said the Plan recommends expanding VanGo! service availability for Ripon residents through a City contract with SJRTD to provide additional evening service on Fridays and Saturdays from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM year-round. He said the Plan also recommends a dedicated seasonal service to support access to the Ripon Farmers Market operating Thursdays from May through September, providing round-trip access for residents during market hours.

Werner concluded that the Plan is funded through existing restricted transit revenue sources, including Measure K renewal funds, Local Transportation Funds (LTF), and Federal Transit Administration Section 5311 rural transit funds, which have recently become available for operating use following the most recent census designation change.

He noted that the proposal includes dedicating 100 percent of Measure K and Section 5311 funds to transit operations. He said that the Plan includes a phased approach to Local Transportation Funds, increasing the share dedicated to transit from approximately 25 percent up to as much as 85 percent over time. He emphasized that the Plan is intended to serve as a flexible framework and will be adjusted based on future ridership data, funding availability and evolving community needs.

Council Member Restuccia said he feels this service is needed in the City.

Mayor Barton said the study was well done and at a considerable cost and questioned where the funds came from. Werner said the study was funded by LTF funds that had been set aside for this purpose.

Approve the 2026 Short-Range Transit Plan that evaluates the transit demand in Ripon and provides recommended changes to Ripon transit services designed to improve mobility and/or cost efficiency over the next 10 years.

Improvement Agreement between the City
of Ripon and Lennar Homes of California
LLC to remove the restriction on the
number of building permits that may be
issued and to include an indemnification
provision related to public access to the
project area prior to City acceptance.

Associate Civil Engineer Spencer Schroen explained the Third Amendment to the Subdivision Improvement Agreement. He noted that the original Subdivision Improvement Agreement required Lennar to complete all public infrastructure improvements prior to the City's acceptance of the subdivision. Schroen explained that the Third Amendment makes two changes to the original agreement. First, the amendment allows Lennar to pull the remaining 67 building permits. Second, the amendment includes an indemnification clause protecting the City from any risk or litigation, which would allow Lennar Homes to open their model homes to the public. 3 Packet Pg. 27

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Ken Zuidervaart, Planning Director
Date: 05/12/2026
Subject: CDBG Coop Agreement
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the Resolution authorizing the City of Ripon to remain a part of the Urban County Cooperation Agreement for the purpose of administering the Community Development Block Grant program and direct staff to file the appropriate paperwork to facilitate such action.

BACKGROUND: Every three years the City of Ripon must adopt a resolution authorizing the City of Ripon to remain a part of the Urban County Cooperation Agreement for the purpose of administering the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The City of Ripon could opt to go out on our own and might potentially be able to receive more CDBG funding, however we would have to administer the entire program for the City of Ripon in house and deal with HUD directly. Typically this does not make a lot of sense unless you have larger populated cities, such as Stockton, and have a lot of low income designated block groups identified by the U.S. Census. Ripon does not fit well into this criteria, therefore it is staff’s recommendation to remain part of the Urban County’s Coop agreement. Attached is the original Urban County Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership Act Cooperation Agreement.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Kevin Werner, City Administrator
Date: 05/12/2026
Subject: Funding Resolution - Senate Bill (SB) 1
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Adopt a resolution adopting the list of projects to be funded through the State of California Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account and authorize staff to submit the project list to the California Transportation Commission for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

BACKGROUND:

On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill (SB) 1, known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SB 1 increased fuel excise taxes, diesel sales taxes, and vehicle registration fees to generate additional funding for the State’s Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation and critical safety needs on both the state highway system and local streets and roads.

In order to be eligible to receive this funding, State law requires cities and counties to submit annual project reports to the California Transportation Commission (CTC), including:
 Project title
 Project description including location of improvements  Project schedule
 Project useful life
The City Council must adopt the project list by resolution and submit it to the CTC each year by July 1st.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The following projects are included in the FY 2026-27 project list for funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account:
 Ripon Safe Routes to School Improvements (Second Street)

1.3.B
Packet Pg. 105
 River Road Overlay Project
There is no negative impact associated with adding or retaining eligible projects on the list; additionally, projects not included on the list may still be funded with RMRA funds, provided they meet program eligibility requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City is projected to receive the full apportionment of RMRA funding for FY 2026-27 in the amount of $448,600.

1.3.B
Packet Pg. 106
RESOLUTION NO. 26-15

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

RIPON ADOPTING A LIST OF PROJECTS FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2026-27 FUNDED BY SENATE BILL 1: THE ROAD
REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017) was passed by the Legislature and Signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 in order to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide; and
WHEREAS, SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the residents of our City of Ripon are aware of the projects proposed for funding in our community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year; and WHEREAS, the City of Ripon must adopt by resolution a list of all projects proposed to receive fiscal year funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1, which must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s start and completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement; and
WHEREAS, the City of Ripon, will receive an estimated $448,600 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2026-27 from SB 1; and
WHEREAS, this is the tenth year in which the City of Ripon is receiving SB 1 funding and will enable the City of Ripon to continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, safety improvements, repairing and replacing aging bridges, and increasing access and mobility options for the traveling public that would not have otherwise been possible without SB 1; and
WHEREAS, the City of Ripon has undergone a robust public process to ensure public input into our community’s transportation priorities/the project list; and WHEREAS, the City of Ripon used a Pavement Management System to develop the SB 1 project list to ensure revenues are being used on the most high-priority and cost-effective projects that also meet the communities’ priorities for transportation investment; and WHEREAS, the funding from SB 1 will help the City of Ripon maintain and rehabilitate streets within the City of Ripon this year and several similar projects into the future; and WHEREAS, the 2023 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment found that the City of Ripon streets and roads are in an “at-risk” condition and this revenue will help us increase the overall quality of our road system and over the next decade will bring our streets and roads into a “good” condition; and

1.3.B
Packet Pg. 107
WHEREAS, the SB 1 project list and overall investment in our local streets and roads infrastructure with a focus on basic maintenance and safety, investing in complete streets infrastructure, and using cutting-edge technology, materials and practices, will have significant positive co-benefits statewide.

NOW, THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, ORDERED AND FOUND by the City Council of the City of Ripon, State of California, as follows:

1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct.

2. The following previously proposed and adopted projects may also utilize Fiscal Year 2026-27 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account revenues. With the relisting of these projects in the adopted fiscal year resolution, the City of Ripon is reaffirming to the public and the State our intent to fund these projects with Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account revenues:

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Ken Zuidervaart, Planning Director
Date: 05/12/2026
Subject: Professional Services Agreement - CalCad - City GIS System RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the annual Agreement with California CAD Solutions, Inc. for ongoing GIS system maintenance, support, and system enhancements and upgrade in a not to exceed amount of $25,000 (funding sources: General Fund, Water Operating Fund, and Sewer Operating Fund).

BACKGROUND:

In 2023, the City of Ripon received grant funding to modernize and upgrade its GIS system.

California CAD Solutions, Inc., a Modesto-based firm specializing in GIS and AutoCAD services, was selected to implement the system improvements.

The City’s GIS system is a critical tool utilized across all departments to support daily operations and decision making. The system maintains a wide range of data, including parcel ownership, parcel dimensions, tax assessment information, building data, zoning, and utility infrastructure.

It also serves as the primary repository for mapping and managing the City’s water, sewer, storm drain, and streetlight systems.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Following implementation of the upgraded GIS platform, ongoing maintenance, technical support, and system enhancements are necessary to ensure the system remains current, functional, and responsive to staff needs. These services include routine system maintenance, data updates, troubleshooting, and targeted enhancements to improve efficiency and usability across departments.

The proposed agreement with California CAD Solutions, Inc. provides for these services on an as-needed basis, allowing the City to continue refining and expanding the capabilities of its GIS system to better support operational and planning functions.

1.4.B
Packet Pg. 110
FISCAL IMPACT:

The agreement is for an amount not to exceed $25,000 for the term of February 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Costs will be allocated equally between the General Fund, Water Operating Fund, and Sewer Operating Fund .

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Kye Stevens, Recreation Director
Date: 05/12/2026
Subject: Recreation Management Registration Services - Playmetrics RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the Agreement with Playmetrics, LLC for recreation registration management and payment processing services for the City of Ripon.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Ripon has utilized Sports Connect (formerly Blue Sombrero) since August 2016 to provide online registration and payment services for recreation programs. On June 11, 2025, Genstar Capital acquired Sports Connect and is merging Sports Connect with Playmetrics. As part of this transition, Sports Connect will be discontinued after 2026, and Playmetrics will become the successor platform for online registration and payment services.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Staff has evaluated alternative recreation registration management systems by consulting with other recreation departments, participating in software demonstrations and meeting with several software providers.

After completing the review process, staff narrowed the options to the following vendors:

Vendor Set-up Fee Annual Fee Credit Card
Fee 1
Notes
CivicRec $5,095 $11,343 2.99% City has not had a positive experience with this vendor who also updated the City’s
website.

Community Pass $3,000 $6,500 2.99% Missing priority functions. Not recommended based on feedback from other cities.

Playmetrics $0 $3 per transaction 3.4% Similar to current platform.

1. The credit card fees are collected by the City as part of the user registration fee and paid by the City to the software vendor.

1.4.D
Packet Pg. 131
Staff recommends Playmetrics because it most closely aligns with the City’s current Sports Connect system, which has functioned effectively for many years with overall positive feedback from users. In addition, Playmetrics has agreed to grandfather the City into its existing pricing structure, resulting in no implementation or annual subscription costs to the City.

Under the proposed agreement, the transaction fees are paid directly by the user at the time of registration. Credit card processing fees would remain substantially similar to the City’s current arrangement with Sports Connect.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fees will remain the same as they were with Sports Connect so moving to Playmetrics does not impact the City’s General Fund. The City currently pays $10,000 - $12,000 per year in credit card fees, which the City collects from users at the time of registration.

We are pleased to confirm our understanding of the services we are to provide for the City of Ripon, California (the City) for the year ended June 30, 2026.

Audit Scope and Objectives
We will audit the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information, including the disclosures, which collectively comprise the modified cash basis basic financial statements, of the City as of and for the year ended June 30, 2026. Modified cash basis financial statements provide for certain required supplementary information (RSI), such as management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A), to supplement the City’s basic financial statements. Such 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. As part of our engagement, we will apply certain limited procedures to the City’s RSI in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). These limited procedures will consist 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 will not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient appropriate evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. The following RSI is required by modified cash basis and will be subjected to certain limited procedures, but will not be audited:
1) Management’s Discussion and Analysis
We have also been engaged to report on supplementary information other than RSI that accompanies the City’s financial statements. We will subject the following supplementary information to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS, and we will provide an opinion on it in relation to the financial statements as a whole in a report combined with our auditor’s report on the financial statements. 1) Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
2) Non-Major Special Revenue Funds Combining Balance Sheet – Modified Cash Basis 3) Non-Major Special Revenue Funds Combining Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances – Modified Cash Basis
4) Additional Information on the Successor Agency Trust Fund

The objectives of our audit 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 issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions about whether your financial statements are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with modified cash basis, and report on the fairness of the supplementary information referred to in the second paragraph when considered in relation to the financial statements as a whole. 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 GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements, including omissions, can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment of a reasonable user made based on the financial statements. The objectives also include reporting on:
 Internal control over financial reporting and compliance with provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and award agreements, noncompliance with which could have a material effect on the financial statements in accordance with Government Auditing Standards.
 Internal control over compliance related to major programs and an opinion (or disclaimer of opinion) on compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of federal awards that could have a direct and material effect on each major program in accordance with the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance).

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements and Single Audit We will conduct our audit in accordance with GAAS; the standards for financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996; and the provisions of the Uniform Guidance, and will include tests of accounting records, a determination of major program(s) in accordance with Uniform Guidance, and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such opinions. As part of an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

We will evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management. We will also evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and determine whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We will plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether from (1) errors, (2) fraudulent financial reporting, (3) misappropriation of assets, or (4) violations of laws or governmental regulations that are attributable to the government or to acts by management or employees acting on behalf of the government. Because the determination of waste and abuse is subjective, Government Auditing Standards do not expect auditors to perform specific procedures to detect waste or abuse in financial audits nor do they expect auditors to provide reasonable assurance of detecting waste or abuse.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, combined with the inherent limitations of internal control, and because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements or noncompliance may not be detected by us, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards. In addition, an audit is not designed to detect immaterial misstatements or violations of laws or governmental regulations that do not have a direct and material effect on the financial statements or on major programs. However, we will inform the appropriate level of management of any material errors, any fraudulent financial reporting, or misappropriation of assets that come to our attention. We will also inform the appropriate level of management of any violations of laws or governmental regulations that come to our attention, unless clearly inconsequential. We will include such matters in the reports required for a Single Audit. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to any later periods for which we are not engaged as auditors.

We will also conclude, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the government’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in the accounts, tests of the physical existence of inventories, and direct confirmation of receivables and certain assets and liabilities by correspondence with selected individuals, funding sources, creditors, and financial institutions. We will also request written representations from your attorneys as part of the engagement.

We have identified the following significant risk(s) of material misstatement as part of our audit planning:
 Management override of controls
 Improper revenue recognition due to fraud
Our audit of financial statements does not relieve you of your responsibilities.

Audit Procedures—Internal Control
We will obtain an understanding of the government and its environment, including the system of internal control, sufficient to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and to design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks and obtain evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions. 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, misrepresentation, or the override of internal control. Tests of controls may be performed to test the effectiveness of certain controls that we consider relevant to preventing and detecting errors and fraud that are material to the financial statements and to preventing and detecting misstatements resulting from illegal acts and other noncompliance matters that have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. Our tests, if performed, will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on internal control and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report on internal control issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards.

As required by the Uniform Guidance, we will perform tests of controls over compliance to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of controls that we consider relevant to preventing or detecting material noncompliance with compliance requirements applicable to each major federal award program. However, our tests will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on those controls and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report on internal control issued pursuant to the Uniform Guidance.

An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. Accordingly, we will express no such opinion. However, during the audit, we will communicate to management and those charged with governance internal control related matters that are required to be communicated under AICPA professional standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance.

Audit Procedures—Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, we will perform tests of the City’s compliance with provisions of applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and agreements, including grant agreements. However, the objective of those procedures will not be to provide an opinion on overall compliance, and we will not express such an opinion in our report on compliance issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards.

The Uniform Guidance requires that we also plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the auditee has complied with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of federal awards applicable to major programs. Our procedures will consist of tests of transactions and other applicable procedures described in the OMB Compliance Supplement for the types of compliance requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each of the City’s major programs. For federal programs that are included in the Compliance Supplement, our compliance and internal control procedures will relate to the compliance requirements that the Compliance Supplement identifies as being subject to audit. The purpose of these procedures will be to express an opinion on the City’s compliance with requirements applicable to each of its major programs in our report on compliance issued pursuant to the Uniform Guidance.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements and Single Audit Our audit will be conducted on the basis that you acknowledge and understand your responsibility for (1) designing, implementing, establishing, and maintaining effective internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, including internal controls over federal awards, and for evaluating and monitoring ongoing activities to help ensure that appropriate goals and objectives are met; (2) following laws and regulations; (3) ensuring that there is reasonable assurance that government programs are administered in compliance with compliance requirements; and (4) ensuring that management and financial information is reliable and properly reported. Management is also responsible for implementing systems designed to achieve compliance with applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements. You are also responsible for the selection and application of accounting principles; for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and all accompanying information in conformity with modified cash basis; and for compliance with applicable laws and regulations (including federal statutes), rules, and the

provisions of contracts and grant agreements (including award agreements). Your responsibilities also include identifying significant contractor relationships in which the contractor has responsibility for program compliance and for the accuracy and completeness of that information.

You are also responsible for making drafts of financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, all financial records, and related information available to us; for the accuracy and completeness of that information (including information from outside of the general and subsidiary ledgers); and for the evaluation of whether there are any conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the government’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months after the financial statement date or shortly thereafter (for example, within an additional three months if currently known). You are also responsible for providing us with (1) access to all information of which you are aware that is relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, such as records, documentation, identification of all related parties and all related-party relationships and transactions, and other matters; (2) access to personnel, accounts, books, records, supporting documentation, and other information as needed to perform an audit under the Uniform Guidance; (3) additional information that we may request for the purpose of the audit; and (4) unrestricted access to persons within the government from whom we determine it necessary to obtain audit evidence. At the conclusion of our audit, we will require certain written representations from you about the financial statements; schedule of expenditures of federal awards; federal award programs; compliance with laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements; and related matters.

Your responsibilities include adjusting the financial statements to correct material misstatements and confirming to us in the management representation letter that the effects of any uncorrected misstatements aggregated by us during the current engagement and pertaining to the latest period presented are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements of each opinion unit taken as a whole.

You are responsible for the design and implementation of programs and controls to prevent and detect fraud, and for informing us about all known or suspected fraud affecting the government involving (1) management, (2) employees who have significant roles in internal control, and (3) others where the fraud could have a material effect on the financial statements. Your responsibilities include informing us of your knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the government received in communications from employees, former employees, grantors, regulators, or others. In addition, you are responsible for identifying and ensuring that the government complies with applicable laws, regulations, contracts, agreements, and grants. You are also responsible for taking timely and appropriate steps to remedy fraud and noncompliance with provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements that we report.

Additionally, as required by the Uniform Guidance, it is management’s responsibility to evaluate and monitor noncompliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of federal awards; take prompt action when instances of noncompliance are identified including noncompliance identified in audit findings; promptly follow up and take corrective action on reported audit findings; and prepare a summary schedule of prior audit findings and a separate corrective action plan.

You are responsible for identifying all federal awards received and understanding and complying with the compliance requirements and for the preparation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (including notes and noncash assistance received, and COVID-19-related concepts, such as lost revenues, if applicable) in conformity with the Uniform Guidance. You agree to include our report on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards in any document that contains, and indicates that we have reported on, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. You also agree to include the audited financial statements with any presentation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards that includes our report thereon. Your responsibilities include acknowledging to us in the written representation letter that (1) you are responsible for presentation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards in accordance with the Uniform Guidance; (2) you believe the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, including its form and content, is stated fairly in accordance with the Uniform Guidance; (3) the methods of measurement or presentation have not changed from those used in the prior period (or, if they have changed, the reasons for such changes); and (4) you have disclosed to us any significant assumptions or interpretations underlying the measurement or presentation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards.

You are also responsible for the preparation of the other supplementary information, which we have been engaged to report on, in conformity with modified cash basis. You agree to include our report on the supplementary information in any document that contains, and indicates that we have reported on, the supplementary information. You also agree to include the audited financial statements with any presentation of the supplementary information that includes our report thereon. Your responsibilities include acknowledging to us in the written representation letter that (1) you are responsible for presentation of the supplementary information in accordance with modified cash basis; (2) you believe the supplementary information, including its form and content, is fairly presented in accordance with modified cash basis; (3) the methods of measurement or presentation have not changed from those used in the prior period (or, if they have

changed, the reasons for such changes); and (4) you have disclosed to us any significant assumptions or interpretations underlying the measurement or presentation of the supplementary information.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a process for tracking the status of audit findings and recommendations. Management is also responsible for identifying and providing report copies of previous financial audits, attestation engagements, performance audits, or other studies related to the objectives discussed in the Audit Scope and Objectives section of this letter. This responsibility includes relaying to us corrective actions taken to address significant findings and recommendations resulting from those audits, attestation engagements, performance audits, or studies. You are also responsible for providing management’s views on our current findings, conclusions, and recommendations, as well as your planned corrective actions for the report, and for the timing and format for providing that information.

Other Services
We will also assist in preparing the financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and related notes of the City in conformity with modified cash basis and the Uniform Guidance based on information provided by you.

These nonaudit services do not constitute an audit under Government Auditing Standards and such services will not be conducted in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. We will perform the services in accordance with applicable professional standards. We, in our sole professional judgment, reserve the right to refuse to perform any procedure or take any action that could be construed as assuming management responsibilities.

You agree to assume all management responsibilities for the financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and related notes, and any other nonaudit services we provide. You will be required to acknowledge in the management representation letter our assistance with all nonaudit services we provide and have accepted responsibility for them. Further, you agree to oversee the nonaudit services by designating an individual, preferably from senior management, with suitable skill, knowledge, and/or experience; evaluate the adequacy and results of those services; and accept responsibility for them.

We remain solely responsible for the professional judgment applied, the services performed, and the final work product delivered. We will maintain the confidentiality of your information in accordance with applicable professional standards and firm policies, and any third-party tools used in connection with this engagement will be subject to appropriate confidentiality and data protection measures.

Our fees for the June 30, 2026 audit for the City are summarized below:

Annual Financial Statement Audit $ 40,950
Single Audit Report (if required)* 7,500

Total $ 48,450
The fee estimate for the single audit is for one major program. If there are additional major programs, there will be an additional fee of $7,000 for each program.

Our fee estimate is based on anticipated cooperation from your personnel and the assumption that unexpected circumstances will not be encountered during the audit. If significant additional time is necessary, we will discuss it with you before we incur the additional costs. Our fees for these services will be billed at the hourly billing rates for the individual involved, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Our standard hourly rates vary according to the degree of responsibility involved and the experience level of the personnel assigned to your audit. Our billing rates are reviewed annually and, where appropriate, adjusted for any increases due to inflation and other factors. We will issue a monthly billing statement for the work completed in that month. Payments for services are due when rendered and interim billings may be submitted as work progresses and expenses are incurred.

If any dispute pertaining to our work product arises among the parties hereto, the parties agree first to try in good faith to settle the dispute by mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Rules for Professional Accounting and Related Services Disputes before resorting to litigation. The costs of any mediation proceeding shall be shared equally by all parties.

dispute over fees charged by the accountant to the client will be submitted for resolution by arbitration in accordance with the Rules for Professional Accounting and Related Services Disputes of the American Arbitration Association. Such arbitration shall be binding and final. IN AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, WE BOTH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, IN THE

EVENT OF A DISPUTE OVER FEES CHARGED BY THE ACCOUNTANT, EACH OF US IS GIVING UP THE RIGHT

TO HAVE THE DISPUTE DECIDED IN A COURT OF LAW BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY AND INSTEAD WE ARE ACCEPTING THE USE OF ARBITRATION FOR RESOLUTION.

Reporting
We will issue written reports upon completion of our Single Audit. Our reports will be addressed to the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Ripon, California. Circumstances may arise in which our report may differ from its expected form and content based on the results of our audit. Depending on the nature of these circumstances, it may be necessary for us to modify our opinions, add a separate section, or add an emphasis-of-matter or other-matter paragraph to our auditor’s report, or if necessary, withdraw from this engagement. If our opinions are other than unmodified, we will discuss the reasons with you in advance. If, for any reason, we are unable to complete the audit or are unable to form or have not formed opinions, we may decline to express opinions or issue reports, or we may withdraw from this engagement.

The Government Auditing Standards report on internal control over financial reporting and on compliance and other matters will state that (1) the purpose of the report is solely to describe the scope of testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance, and (2) the report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. The Uniform Guidance report on internal control over compliance will state that the purpose of the report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Both reports will state that the report is not suitable for any other purpose.

We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to the City and believe this letter accurately summarizes the significant terms of our engagement. If you have any questions, please let us know. If you agree with the terms of our engagement as described in this letter, please sign the attached copy and return it to us.

Ripon, California 95366
We are pleased to confirm our understanding of the services we are to provide the City of Ripon, California (the City) for the year ended June 30, 2026.

Audit Scope and Objectives
We will audit the financial statements of and the disclosures, which collectively comprise the financial statements of the City of Ripon Money Purchase Thrift Pension Plan (the Plan) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2026.

The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion about whether your financial statements are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with GAAP. 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 GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements, including omissions, can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment of a reasonable user made based on the financial statements.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements We will conduct our audit in accordance with GAAS and will include tests of your accounting records and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such opinions. As part of an audit in accordance with GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

However, we will inform the appropriate level of management of any material errors, fraudulent financial reporting,

RIPON
or misappropriation of assets that comes to our attention. We will also inform the appropriate level of management of any violations of laws or governmental regulations that come to our attention, unless clearly inconsequential.

Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to any later periods for which we are not engaged as auditors.

Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in the accounts, tests of the physical existence of inventories, and direct confirmation of receivables and certain assets and liabilities by correspondence with selected customers, creditors, and financial institutions. We will also request written representations from your attorneys as part of the engagement.

Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you of your responsibilities.

Audit Procedures—Internal Control
We will obtain an understanding of the government and its environment, including the system of internal control, sufficient to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and to design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks and obtain evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions. 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, misrepresentation, or the override of internal control. An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify deficiencies in internal control. Accordingly, we will express no such opinion. However, during the audit, we will communicate to management and those charged with governance internal control related matters that are required to be communicated under AICPA professional standards.

We have identified the following significant risks of material misstatement as part of our audit planning:
 Management override of controls
 Improper revenue recognition due to fraud
Audit Procedures—Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, we will perform tests of the Plan’s compliance with the provisions of applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and agreements. However, the objective of our audit will not be to provide an opinion on overall compliance and we will not express such an opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Our audit will be conducted on the basis that you acknowledge and understand your responsibility for designing, implementing, and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, including monitoring ongoing activities; for the selection and application of accounting principles; and for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America with the oversight of those charged with governance.

Management is responsible for making drafts of financial statements, all financial records, and related information available to us; for the accuracy and completeness of that information (including information from outside of the general and subsidiary ledgers); and for the evaluation of whether there are any conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the government’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months after the financial statement date or shortly thereafter (for example, within an additional three months if currently known). You are also responsible for providing us with (1) access to all information of which you are aware that is relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, such as records, documentation, identification of all related parties and all related-party relationships and transactions, and other matters; (2) additional information that we may request for the purpose of the audit; and (3) unrestricted access to persons within the government from whom we determine it necessary to obtain audit evidence. At the conclusion of our audit, we will require certain written representations from you about the financial statements and related matters.

Your responsibilities include adjusting the financial statements to correct material misstatements and confirming to us in the management representation letter that the effects of any uncorrected misstatements aggregated by us during the current engagement and pertaining to the latest period presented are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements of each opinion unit taken as a whole.

Other Services
We will also assist in preparing the financial statements of the Plan in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America based on information provided by you.

We will perform the services in accordance with applicable professional standards. We, in our sole professional judgment, reserve the right to refuse to perform any procedure or take any action that could be construed as assuming management responsibilities.

You agree to assume all management responsibilities for the financial statement preparation services and any other nonattest services we provide; oversee the services by designating an individual, preferably from senior management, with suitable skill, knowledge, and/or experience; evaluate the adequacy and results of the services; and accept responsibility for them.

From: Lisa Roos, City Clerk & Finance Director
Date: 05/12/2026
Subject: Quarterly Investment Report Review
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Accept the City’s quarterly investment report for the period ending March 31, 2026.

BACKGROUND:

The following report is the City’s quarterly investment report for the period ending March 31, 2026. 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.

1.4.G
Packet Pg. 155
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:

The quarterly rate of return for the 115 Trust was -0.89%; 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.

Subject: Donation to the Animal Shelter - Paula M. Carroll Trust RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Accept the distribution from Paula M. Carroll Trust (“Trust”) for the Ripon Animal Shelter and authorize staff to execute all necessary documentation to receive the funds. Staff will return to a future City Council meeting with options for the use of these funds to support and enhance Animal Shelter services.

BACKGROUND:

The Ripon Animal Shelter is responsible for the intake and care of stray, lost, abandoned, and surrendered animals, as well as animals involved in enforcement actions related to local animal control laws. Below is a summary of the day-to-day tasks that are completed by Animal Control staff:
 Spay and neuter lost or abandoned animals before being adopted  Animal licensing
 Caring for animals housed in the shelter, including food, sanitation, and basic veterinary services
 Reuniting lost pets with owner
 Promote adoption or transfer to rescue organization for abandoned or surrendered animals
The Ripon Animal Shelter operates in compliance with state regulations and local ordinances and policies.

Packet Pg. 162
DISCUSSION:

In April 2024, the City of Ripon was notified that the Ripon Animal Shelter had been named a beneficiary of the Trust. The City has since received documentation confirming that the distribution of funds to the Ripon Animal Shelter is $507,000.

The Trust does not specify how the funds are to be used. Accordingly, staff recommends that the City Council accept this generous contribution and authorize staff to complete all necessary documentation to facilitate receipt of the funds. Staff will provide the City Council with options for the use of the funds at a future City Council meeting.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact with accepting the funds. The Trust does not require a financial match nor any other stipulations that would have a fiscal impact to the City. The fiscal impact can vary depending on how the City Council decides to use the funds, which will be included in the evaluation of options.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Ken Zuidervaart, Planning Director
Date: 05/12/2026
Subject: Ionna Vehicle Charging Station - Public Hearing for DA RECOMMENDED ACTION:

No action is required; however, if the City Council agrees with the recommendations of the Planning Commission and staff, the appropriate motion would be to approve the Development Agreement, waive the first reading, and introduce the ordinance listed later on this agenda.

BACKGROUND:

On October 20, 2025, the Ripon Planning Commission approved the necessary entitlements for an Electric Vehicle Charging Station project located at 1504 West Colony Road, subject to conditions of approval. As part of that action, the applicant was required to enter into a Development Agreement with the City of Ripon prior to the issuance of building permits.

On April 20, 2026, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Development Agreement and adopted a recommendation that the City Council approve the agreement.

Development Agreements are utilized by the City to formalize project-specific requirements and ensure ongoing compliance with the conditions of approval associated with a project. The proposed Development Agreement does not introduce new requirements; rather, it memorializes the obligations and conditions previously established as part of the project’s entitlement.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Since approval of the project entitlements, the applicant has been coordinating with City staff and advancing the project toward building permit issuance. Approval of the Development Agreement is a required procedural step prior to issuance of building permits.

2.A
Packet Pg. 235
The agreement is consistent with the previously approved project and incorporates all applicable conditions imposed by the Planning Commission. No substantive changes to the project are proposed through this agreement.

Approval of the Development Agreement will satisfy the remaining entitlement requirement and allow the project to proceed to the construction phase.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Approval of the Development Agreement does not create any new financial obligations and is consistent with the original project approval.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Ken Zuidervaart, Planning Director
Date: 05/12/2026
Subject: Development Code Text Amendment for ADUs - Public Hearing RECOMMENDED ACTION:

No action is required; however, if the City Council agrees with the recommendations of the Planning Commission and staff, the appropriate motion would be to waive the first reading and introduce the ordinance listed later on this agenda.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Ripon last comprehensively updated its Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) regulations in April 2021. Since that time, the State of California has adopted numerous legislative changes related to ADUs, resulting in substantive updates to Government Code provisions governing ADU development.

As a result of these legislative changes, portions of the City’s current ADU ordinance are no longer consistent with State law and require amendment to ensure compliance. Failure to maintain a compliant ADU ordinance may result in the City being subject to State enforcement actions and limitations on local land use authority.

The proposed amendments to Chapter 16.86 have been prepared to align the Ripon Municipal Code with current State requirements while maintaining, to the extent allowed, local development standards and objective criteria.

2.B
Packet Pg. 257
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The proposed ordinance amendments update Chapter 16.86 of the Ripon Municipal Code to reflect changes in State law governing ADUs, including provisions related to ministerial review, development standards, and exemptions from certain local requirements.

A detailed overview of the proposed changes, including a summary of key legislative updates and their implications for local regulation, is provided in the accompanying PowerPoint presentation. Staff will present this information at the public hearing.

In summary, the proposed amendments are intended to:
 Ensure compliance with current State ADU laws;
 Clarify and update local development standards;
 Distinguish between State-mandated requirements and locally applied standards where permissible; and
 Provide clear, objective criteria for ADU review and approval.

The amendments are not intended to expand local discretion beyond what is permitted under State law, but rather to bring the City’s regulations into alignment with existing statutory requirements.

The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on April 20, 2026 to consider the proposed amendments to Chapter 16.86. During its review, the Commission expressed several policy concerns related to the limitations imposed by State law, including:
 Infrastructure Impacts:

State law restricts the City’s ability to collect development impact fees for certain ADUs, raising concerns regarding long-term impacts to water, sewer, roadway, and public service infrastructure.
 Neighborhood Parking and Street Congestion:

Limitations on requiring off-street parking may increase on-street parking demand and contribute to congestion within established residential neighborhoods.  Design Compatibility Limitations:

State law constrains local discretion, limiting the City’s ability to impose design standards that ensure new ADUs are fully compatible with existing neighborhood character.
 Increased Unit Density on Single-Family Parcels:

State law mandates the allowance of multiple ADUs on single-family properties, which may result in increased density and potential impacts to infrastructure capacity, neighborhood character, and overall quality of life.

2.B
Packet Pg. 258
While acknowledging these concerns, the Planning Commission recognized that the proposed amendments are required to comply with State law. Following discussion, the Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the ordinance to the City Council.

FINDINGS:

1. That the proposed use is consistent with the goals, policies, standards, and maps of the General Plan, any applicable Master Plan, Specific Plan, any Specific Purpose Plan, and any other applicable plan adopted by the City of Ripon.

2. The proposed amendments are necessary to ensure consistency with State law governing accessory dwelling units.

3. The proposed amendments will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

The proposed ordinance amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.17, which provides a statutory exemption for the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county to implement the provisions of Government Code Section 65852.2 related to accessory dwelling units.

The proposed amendments are intended solely to bring the City’s regulations into compliance with State law governing accessory dwelling units and do not involve the approval of any specific development project. Accordingly, the action is statutorily exempt from CEQA.
