Mayor O’Brien Opened Public Comment at 6.22 P.M.
Ramon Bermudez, Riverbank Resident commented on the avenues of Patterson and Palmer Roads and the flooding on Sierra Street, I’ve been here times before to plead that flood on Sierra be addressed. Now it is the flooding on Patterson that worries me, it has been flooding for several years, and only recently the city has started coming over and draining. My concern is with children and the school bus stop, the owner of the taco truck on the corner, she said that she once saw when the kids got off the bus, one kid pushed another one into the water, that is not necessary, if there was a sidewalk that they could walk on both sides of the street, but of course not, it is flooded all the way up to the properties, it’s a shame. I would like and I would love to help that drain, in the name of three other people that are directly affected. If you can do something about the alley from Callander Avenue to Parsley Lane across from the theater, the three or four houses before Parsley, there is really nice space road because of the houses, the rest are horrible because of the potholes.
Jacob Faulder, Representative on behalf of Senator Marie Alvarado-Gil, informed the City Council that the Senator is looking forward to working with the City of Riverbank in the future if there is any assistance we can provide to residents in terms of constituent services, please feel free to reach out to our office. I will also be providing legislative updates, and provide a brief update on what the Senator has been up to since she was sworn in on December 5th. She has been touring nine of the thirteen counties in her district, her focuses here will be on Fire Insurance Reform, Water Storage and Preventing Early Release for violent criminals. She will be serving as chair on the Human Services Committee, Member of the Agriculture, Veterans Affairs, Business Professions and Finance, Insurance and Governmental Insurance Committees.

10. PUBLIC HEARINGS- No Hearings Scheduled.
11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Item 11.1 Thunderbolt Wood Treating Waiver or Reduction Request for System Development Fees- It is recommended that Council review this report and attached materials, and consider the request of the Lovalvo Family Trust (d.b.a. Thunderbolt Wood Treating, Inc) to waive or reduce the payment of system development fees on a new building permit.
Building and Planning Manager Kenney introduced the item and gave a comprehensive staff report and Power Point presentation on the Waiver or Reduction Request for System Development Fees requested by Thunderbolt Wood Treating.
City Council discussed item with City Staff.
Norik Naraghi, Attorney for the Lovalvo Family Trust stated the item is on the agenda tonight because the city assessed nearly ($400,000) four hundred thousand dollars in system development fees as a condition to issuing the building permit for the installation of the cover, which is an amount almost the cost of the entire project itself. As addressed in a letter on December 1st, which is attached as attachment 4 to the Staff Report, the law clearly states that under these circumstances, when the project has no impact on city facilities or services, impact fees such as the city system development fees are not allowed. Impact fees can only be charged when the project places a new burden on the city’s facility, here not only does the project not place a burden on the city, all the evidence shows this project will provide substantial water conservation and environmental benefits. To understand the benefits and the purpose behind installing the metal cover requires an understanding of Thunderbolt’s Storm Water Management System. Currently Thunderbolt captures rainwater that comes into contact in the treatment area and retains it in holding tanks. Since the water contains chemical residue, the reclaimed water can only be reused in one specific process in the wood treating plant, and not in the other treatment processes that occur in other areas of Thunderbolt’s facility. Which leaves Thunderbolt having to store much more water than it could possibly reuse in the foregoing treatment process, which in turn creates a bottleneck in the system. Since the proposed metal cover will capture the runoff from rainfall before it comes into contact with the chemical residue within the treatment area, the clean water can be stored, used and reused in other areas of Thunderbolt’s treatment process. Significantly aiding Thunderbolt’s ongoing water conservation efforts and minimizing, if not eliminating, its reliance on its wastewater discharge permit from the city. But it allows Thunderbolt to dispose of treated storm water to the city sewer as a back up measure. Since the installation of the metal cover will not impose any additional impacts on city facilities or services, and in fact it will only result in numerous benefits to the city and the landowner, there is no doubt the city is legally prohibited from imposing these fees and we request council follows staff recommendation and waive all system development fees originally applied to this building permit.
CC / LRA Minutes – 1/24/2023
Building & Planning Manager Kenney clarified, when the building permit set was submitted for the building permit, we just got the standard plans that come with the building itself. So, we have nothing that documents how the water will be captured and routed to their system. We would like to have them submit, some documentation showing that process, so we have that for our files.
Mayor O’Brien stated, that we need to make sure they do that.
There being no public comments, Mayor O’Brien brought the item back to the City Council.
ACTION: By motion moved and seconded (Uribe_/ Barber-Martinez_5/0) to approve Resolution 2023-006 to waive the System Development Fees for Thunderbolt Wood Treating, Inc.
Motion carried by unanimous City Council and LRA Board roll call vote:
AYES: Uribe, Hernandez, Jones Cruz, Barber-Martinez, and Mayor O’Brien NAYS: None / ABSENT: None / ABSTAINED: None
12. NEW BUSINESS
Item 12.1 A Resolution Approving an Agreement between the City of Riverbank and the Riverbank Unified School District for School Resource Officer Services and Authorizing the City Manager to Finalize and Execute said Agreement- It is recommended that the City Council consider adopting a Resolution that would approve an agreement between the City of Riverbank and Riverbank Unified School District for School Resource Officer (SRO) services.
City Manager Garcia and Barbara Brown, Director of Business Services with Riverbank Unified School District gave a comprehensive staff report on the agreement between the City of Riverbank and the Riverbank Unified School District for a School Resource Officer.
City Council discussed item with Staff.
Ramon Bermudez, Riverbank Resident commented on his feelings and opposition of having to put a police officer in the schools. Last year, there was a shooting in Texas with school children and two teachers. They have the reports of police, being there.
They didn’t go in there, even though they were in time. They were afraid, they might get shot. And they were there at the door, they were afraid the shooter was on the other side of the door and they might get shot and killed. There were no heroes that day. I don’t think having a police officer, will resolve these types of things. And the small stuff can be taken care by the school, not having a police officer, but a guard, or guard duty.
That pretty much has the same roles, except arresting. It can be a counselor, it can be a teacher, it can be a friend of the students that are in trouble and try and get them out of their shell and so on. But a Police officer, I believe no. It can be a security guard for the school, with knowledge and course educated. Let it be a civilian, no uniform belongs in a school.
CC / LRA Minutes – 1/24/2023
There being no public comments, Mayor O’Brien brought the item back to the City Council.

A brief report on notable attendance of a meeting or conference or other notable topics of City business shall be made. The Brown Act does not allow for discussion or action of items by the City Council/LRA Board during this time.
Item 12.1 Staff
City Manager Garcia advised the City Council and the public on the following items:
CC / LRA Minutes – 1/24/2023
• Thursday, Stanislaus County will be holding its Point in Time Count (PIT Count) of unsheltered residents throughout Stanislaus County. City of Riverbank will be participating in that as well. Will be meeting at Scout hall at 8:00 a.m., if you happen to see any unsheltered or homeless residents in need of a hot breakfast and a warm place to stay for a couple of hours, please refer them to our Scout Hall which is located at 3017 High Street. We will have some hot beverages and some hot breakfast. It will help us gather data that we need in order to receive additional funding, whether it be from the state or the federal government in order to provide assistance to our homeless residents.
Item 12.2 Council/Authority Member
Councilmember Jones Cruz reported on the following:
• It’s a pleasure to be here, sorry I’ve been under the weather and was not at the last council meeting. But back at it, and getting things done. I appreciate being here and all of you being here,
Councilmember Uribe reported on the following:
• On Wednesday, January 18th we had some significant graffiti at Castleburg Park. Fortunately, the wall at the snack bar with the mural was not tagged, so I would like to ask Council maybe consider that moving forward, and look at all our parks and maybe look at any open blank walls maybe we can add a mural, to prevent this kind of activity, would be appreciated.
Councilmember Barber-Martinez reported on the following:
• Attended a webinar hosted by the League of Cal Cities regarding cannabis and the new regulations for economic development.
• Will be attending the Public Safety Policy Committee meeting this Thursday, the focus will be to address the fentanyl crisis.
• Quote from Martin Luther King, “Darkness cannot drive out Darkness, only light can do that. Hate can not drive out hate, only love can do that.” Just thinking of all the shootings that we’ve had in our nation, and just think about what we’ve had in just this year. We’ve gotten away from the fact that we should be trying to love our neighbors, and we do not think about that anymore. So, Love your neighbor!
Vice Mayor Hernandez reported on the following:
• Would like to congratulate HotWorx on their ribbon cutting and grand opening.
The family had a family emergency, so they’ve been closed this week. We wish them well.
• This last week, I attended a Cal Cities conference for newly elected. I was elected during Covid, so I did not get to attend. But this year, I connected with elected from across the state, or across northern California, who were elected in November. I was very excited to see a lot of young people, like 24/25-yearold Mayors and councilmembers. I was feeling like the older of the young people. Excited to build relationships with them, it was a really good conference.
• It is with a bittersweet sentiment, that I wish you all Happy lunar New Year, with all shooting that happened in Monterey Park and ongoing shootings, but I want to emphasize that we need to be really proactive and creative in how address
CC / LRA Minutes – 1/24/2023
our issues and things that aren’t exacerbated, here in our city fortunately, but we have an opportunity to address.
Item 12.3 Mayor/Chair
Mayor O’Brien reported on the following:
• Would like to know on all our housing for the homeless all of our initiatives, if I can get brief on that. For the public, that way we all know, Tiny Homes, Sierra House, is that open for business. Not yet, we are passed November. I would like to know where we are, what our deadlines are, and what can we do to meet those deadlines.
• Also, would like to know initiatives for those who are homeless and with vehicles. What are we doing to help them out?
• The Stanislaus Housing Authority (SHA) would like to meet with them, to get our Community Center for the seniors, that plan moving and any other additional that we can have. Such as, community restrooms downtown and maybe build them and have the business maintain them. So, they don’t have infusion into their restrooms, that are not customers.
• There is new funding for Parks for expansion, would like to see us apply for that. There are $6 million in grants, in matching funds, that you have to have for that. But Jacob Myers Park expansion, the 92 acres to the west or whatever we are going to determine with the Army Corps of Engineers, would like to have that looked at. If we can see what the cost is, apply for whatever fifty percent of that is, that the state or federal government can help with the cost of that.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.3
SECTION 9: CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: February 14, 2023
Subject: A Resolution Adopting by Reference Fair Political Practices Commission Title 2, Division 6, California Code Sections 18730 and 18730.1; the 2023 Conflict of Interest Code List of Designated City Positions; and the Related Economic Interest Disclosure Categories
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Gabriela Hernandez, City Clerk
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council adopt the Resolution to amend the City’s Conflict of Interest Code.
SUMMARY
The Political Reform Act (Government Code Sections 81000-91014) requires local government officials and certain employees to publicly disclose their personal assets and income. They must also disqualify themselves from participating in decisions which may affect their personal economic interests. The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) is the state agency responsible for issuing the Statement of Economic Interests, Form 700, and for interpreting the law’s provisions.
Local government agencies must adopt a local Conflict of Interest Code (“Code”). This Code must designate positions that make or participate in the making of decisions which may foreseeably have a material effect on any financial interest. This Code must be reviewed biennially to determine if it is accurate or if it requires amending, as determined by the City Attorney, to include positions that are at a level of which recommendations and/or decisions made by the position may foreseeably have a material effect on economic interests.
The City’s existing Code currently requires the addition of the following positions and the level of full disclosure:

ATTACHMENT 3
1 (Regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission, Title 2, Division 6, California Code of Regulations)
§ 18730. Provisions of Conflict of Interest Codes.
(a) Incorporation by reference of the terms of this regulation along with the designation of employees and the formulation of disclosure categories in the Appendix referred to below constitute the adoption and promulgation of a conflict of interest code within the meaning of Section 87300 or the amendment of a conflict of interest code within the meaning of Section 87306 if the terms of this regulation are substituted for terms of a conflict of interest code already in effect. A code so amended or adopted and promulgated requires the reporting of reportable items in a manner substantially equivalent to the requirements of article 2 of chapter 7 of the Political Reform Act, Sections 81000, et seq. The requirements of a conflict of interest code are in addition to other requirements of the Political Reform Act, such as the general prohibition against conflicts of interest contained in Section 87100, and to other state or local laws pertaining to conflicts of interest.
(b) The terms of a conflict of interest code amended or adopted and promulgated pursuant to this regulation are as follows:
(1) Section 1. Definitions.
The definitions contained in the Political Reform Act of 1974, regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission (Regulations 18110, et seq. ), and any amendments to the Act or regulations, are incorporated by reference into this conflict of interest code. (2) Section 2. Designated Employees.
2 The persons holding positions listed in the Appendix are designated employees. It has been determined that these persons make or participate in the making of decisions which may foreseeably have a material effect on economic interests. (3) Section 3. Disclosure Categories.
This code does not establish any disclosure obligation for those designated employees who are also specified in Section 87200 if they are designated in this code in that same capacity or if the geographical jurisdiction of this agency is the same as or is wholly included within the jurisdiction in which those persons must report their economic interests pursuant to article 2 of chapter 7 of the Political Reform Act, Sections 87200, et seq.
In addition, this code does not establish any disclosure obligation for any designated employees who are designated in a conflict of interest code for another agency, if all of the following apply:
(A) The geographical jurisdiction of this agency is the same as or is wholly included within the jurisdiction of the other agency;
(B) The disclosure assigned in the code of the other agency is the same as that required under article 2 of chapter 7 of the Political Reform Act, Section 87200; and (C) The filing officer is the same for both agencies.1
Such persons are covered by this code for disqualification purposes only. With respect to all other designated employees, the disclosure categories set forth in the Appendix specify which kinds of economic interests are reportable. Such a designated employee shall disclose in the employee's statement of economic interests those economic interests the employee has which are of the kind described in the disclosure categories to which the employee is assigned in the Appendix. It has been determined that the economic interests set forth in a designated employee's 3 disclosure categories are the kinds of economic interests which the employee foreseeably can affect materially through the conduct of the employee's office. (4) Section 4. Statements of Economic Interests: Place of Filing.
The code reviewing body shall instruct all designated employees within its code to file statements of economic interests with the agency or with the code reviewing body, as provided by the code reviewing body in the agency's conflict of interest code.2 (5) Section 5. Statements of Economic Interests: Time of Filing. (A) Initial Statements. All designated employees employed by the agency on the effective date of this code, as originally adopted, promulgated and approved by the code reviewing body, shall file statements within 30 days after the effective date of this code. Thereafter, each person already in a position when it is designated by an amendment to this code shall file an initial statement within 30 days after the effective date of the amendment. (B) Assuming Office Statements. All persons assuming designated positions after the effective date of this code shall file statements within 30 days after assuming the designated positions, or if subject to State Senate confirmation, 30 days after being nominated or appointed. (C) Annual Statements. All designated employees shall file statements no later than April
1. If a person reports for military service as defined in the Servicemember's Civil Relief Act, the deadline for the annual statement of economic interests is 30 days following the person's return to office, provided the person, or someone authorized to represent the person's interests, notifies the filing officer in writing prior to the applicable filing deadline that the person is subject to that federal statute and is unable to meet the applicable deadline, and provides the filing officer verification of the person's military status.
4 (D) Leaving Office Statements. All persons who leave designated positions shall file statements within 30 days after leaving office.
(5.5) Section 5.5. Statements for Persons Who Resign Prior to Assuming Office.
Any person who resigns within 12 months of initial appointment, or within 30 days of the date of notice provided by the filing officer to file an assuming office statement, is not deemed to have assumed office or left office, provided the person did not make or participate in the making of, or use the person's position to influence any decision and did not receive or become entitled to receive any form of payment as a result of the person's appointment. Such persons shall not file either an assuming or leaving office statement.
(A) Any person who resigns a position within 30 days of the date of a notice from the filing officer shall do both of the following:
(1) File a written resignation with the appointing power; and (2) File a written statement with the filing officer declaring under penalty of perjury that during the period between appointment and resignation the person did not make, participate in the making, or use the position to influence any decision of the agency or receive, or become entitled to receive, any form of payment by virtue of being appointed to the position. (6) Section 6. Contents of and Period Covered by Statements of Economic Interests. (A) Contents of Initial Statements.
Initial statements shall disclose any reportable investments, interests in real property and business positions held on the effective date of the code and income received during the 12 months prior to the effective date of the code.
(B) Contents of Assuming Office Statements.
5 Assuming office statements shall disclose any reportable investments, interests in real property and business positions held on the date of assuming office or, if subject to State Senate confirmation or appointment, on the date of nomination, and income received during the 12 months prior to the date of assuming office or the date of being appointed or nominated, respectively.
(C) Contents of Annual Statements. Annual statements shall disclose any reportable investments, interests in real property, income and business positions held or received during the previous calendar year provided, however, that the period covered by an employee's first annual statement shall begin on the effective date of the code or the date of assuming office whichever is later, or for a board or commission member subject to Section 87302.6, the day after the closing date of the most recent statement filed by the member pursuant to Regulation 18754. (D) Contents of Leaving Office Statements.
Leaving office statements shall disclose reportable investments, interests in real property, income and business positions held or received during the period between the closing date of the last statement filed and the date of leaving office.

(A) Any business entity in which the designated employee has a direct or indirect investment worth $2,000 or more;
(B) Any real property in which the designated employee has a direct or indirect interest worth $2,000 or more;
(C) Any source of income, other than gifts and other than loans by a commercial lending institution in the regular course of business on terms available to the public without regard to official status, aggregating $500 or more in value provided to, received by or promised to the designated employee within 12 months prior to the time when the decision is made; (D) Any business entity in which the designated employee is a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or holds any position of management; or (E) Any donor of, or any intermediary or agent for a donor of, a gift or gifts aggregating $500 or more provided to, received by, or promised to the designated employee within 12 months prior to the time when the decision is made.
(9.3) Section 9.3. Legally Required Participation.
No designated employee shall be prevented from making or participating in the making of any decision to the extent the employee's participation is legally required for the decision to be made. 13 The fact that the vote of a designated employee who is on a voting body is needed to break a tie does not make the employees' participation legally required for purposes of this section. (9.5) Section 9.5. Disqualification of State Officers and Employees.
In addition to the general disqualification provisions of section 9, no state administrative official shall make, participate in making, or use the official's position to influence any governmental decision directly relating to any contract where the state administrative official knows or has reason to know that any party to the contract is a person with whom the state administrative official, or any member of the official's immediate family has, within 12 months prior to the time when the official action is to be taken:
(A) Engaged in a business transaction or transactions on terms not available to members of the public, regarding any investment or interest in real property; or (B) Engaged in a business transaction or transactions on terms not available to members of the public regarding the rendering of goods or services totaling in value $1,000 or more. (10) Section 10. Disclosure of Disqualifying Interest.
When a designated employee determines that the employee should not make a governmental decision because the employee has a disqualifying interest in it, the determination not to act may be accompanied by disclosure of the disqualifying interest. (11) Section 11. Assistance of the Commission and Counsel.
Any designated employee who is unsure of the duties under this code may request assistance from the Fair Political Practices Commission pursuant to Section 83114 and Regulations 18329 and 18329.5 or from the attorney for the employee's agency, provided that nothing in this section requires the attorney for the agency to issue any formal or informal opinion.

In addition, a decision in relation to which a violation of the disqualification provisions of this code or of Section 87100 or 87450 has occurred may be set aside as void pursuant to Section 91003.
____________________
1 Designated employees who are required to file statements of economic interests under any other agency's conflict of interest code, or under article 2 for a different jurisdiction, may expand their statement of economic interests to cover reportable interests in both jurisdictions, and file copies of this expanded statement with both entities in lieu of filing separate and distinct statements, provided that each copy of such expanded statement filed in place of an original is signed and verified by the designated employee as if it were an original. See Section 81004. 2 See Section 81010 and Regulation 18115 for the duties of filing officers and persons in agencies who make and retain copies of statements and forward the originals to the filing officer. 3 For the purpose of disclosure only (not disqualification), an interest in real property does not include the principal residence of the filer.
4 Investments and interests in real property which have a fair market value of less than $2,000 are not investments and interests in real property within the meaning of the Political Reform Act.
However, investments or interests in real property of an individual include those held by the individual's spouse and dependent children as well as a pro rata share of any investment or interest in real property of any business entity or trust in which the individual, spouse and dependent children own, in the aggregate, a direct, indirect or beneficial interest of 10 percent or greater.
15 5 A designated employee's income includes the employee's community property interest in the income of the employee's spouse but does not include salary or reimbursement for expenses received from a state, local or federal government agency. 6 Income of a business entity is reportable if the direct, indirect or beneficial interest of the filer and the filer's spouse in the business entity aggregates a 10 percent or greater interest. In addition, the disclosure of persons who are clients or customers of a business entity is required only if the clients or customers are within one of the disclosure categories of the filer.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution declaring the property listed in Exhibit A as surplus property and authorize its disposal as stated in §36.03 of the Riverbank Code of Ordinances.

The scope of work includes constructing curb, gutter and sidewalks where sidewalks don’t exist and upgrading ramp to be compliant with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). The purpose of the project is to ensure the safety of the traveling public and promote a safe and walkable corridor as well as meet necessary ADA requirements.

Bids are required for the entire work described herein.
Bids have been reviewed and Hensley’s Paving & General Engineering, Inc. has been identified as the lowest responsible bidder for the project.
Staff originally budgeted $130,778.00, ($112,778.00 for Construction and $18,000.00 for Preliminary Engineering) from Measure L Funds – Bike & Pedestrian for this project.
The low bid came in higher than anticipated at $147,806.00 but fortunately the City has reserve funds available in Measure L to cover the additional costs plus 10% contingency of $49,809.00 without jeopardizing any other current projects scheduled with Measure L funds.
It is also requested that the City Council provide the City Manager authorization to execute Change Orders if they are within total budget.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.1
SECTION 11: NEW BUSINESS
Meeting Date: February 14, 2023
Subject: A Resolution Appropriating Funds for the 2022 Cheese & Wine Festival
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Sue Fitzpatrick, Director of Parks and Recreation
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider the approval of a Resolution to appropriate funds for the 2022 Cheese & Wine Festival.
SUMMARY
On November 8th, 2022 the Cheese & Wine Festival evaluation was reported to the City Council. Unfortunately, there was a deficit financially this past year for the festival. This resolution is to request funds to cover the deficit of this event in the amount of $22,138.
If approved, the funds would be transferred from the General Fund into the Cheese & Wine account.
BACKGROUND
The City of Riverbank Parks and Recreation Department has overseen the Cheese & Wine Festival for the past 8 years. During this time, we contracted out the event to two different contractors. Overall, the festival has been safe, successful, well attended and enjoyed by the community.
The festival was purchased by the City from the Riverbank Rotary Cub for $15,000 in 2014. During the City’s first 3 years of festival oversight, this purchase was paid for through the revenue of the festival. The festival always had an excess of revenue over expenses. Even though the city set aside funds just in case there was a deficit, it was not necessary and no General Fund support was needed.
Item 11.1– CC/LRA – 02/14/2023
This past year was different. The contractor was less focused and inflation raised the cost of many of our services. The wine tasting area was not marketed well so revenue was less than normal and our sponsorships were down. There was more competition downtown with alcohol sales and our beer booths suffered. After all revenue was collected and expenses were paid, there was a $22,138 deficit.
A resolution is being presented to the City Council for consideration to transfer $22,138 from the General Fund to the Cheese & Wine account to make this account whole.
Options for the 2023 festival will be presented to the City Council which will attempt to have a more positive financial outcome.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The financial impact to this report is $22,138 from the General Fund for the 2022-2023 Fiscal Year.
STRATEGIC PLAN
“Ensure Financial Stability” and “Maintain Quality of Life”

RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL / LOCAL REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.2
SECTION 11: NEW BUSINESS
Meeting Date: February 14, 2023
Subject: 2023 Cheese & Wine Festival Options
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Sue Fitzpatrick, Director of Parks and Recreation
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider the options for the 2023 Cheese & Wine Festival and give staff direction.
SUMMARY
On November 8th, 2022 the Cheese & Wine Festival evaluation was reported to the City Council. The Director of Parks and Recreation was directed to research options for new contractors and/or other festival ideas and return with information after the first of the year.
BACKGROUND
The City of Riverbank Parks and Recreation Department has overseen the Cheese & Wine Festival for the past 8 years. During this time, the city contracted out the event to two different contractors. Overall, the festival has been safe, successful, well attended.
This past year, even though the event was again safe, well attended and enjoyed by the community, it was determined that the effort and overall performance of the contractor was not up to the city’s expectations. The event had a financial deficit for the first time since it has been a city event. Factors such as inflation, lack of adequate sponsorships and the need for increased security/fencing impacted the event as well.
Options for the future of the event were presented briefly to the City Council at the November 8th, 2022 meeting. The discussion included some options such as determining that the festival is too costly and replacing it with another less complex festival or seeking other potential contractors and presenting the options to the council for review. It was the
Item 11.2 – CC/LRA – 02/14/2023
consensus of the City Council at that time that they were not ready to terminate the festival.
The options that the Director of Parks and Recreation has ready for Council review are as follows:
Option I: Copper Rhino, LLC
This company is owned by Les Knoll who works closely with Jill Ferris, former contractor for the city (FM Concerts) for the stage portion of Concerts in the Park and the Cheese & Wine festival. Les owns 5 restaurant/Bars and has many contacts with wineries and beer companies. He has been involved with the Modesto City Sampler, the Edible Extravaganza, and multiple large events over the past 24 years. Jill has experience with vendors, marketing and stages. They are confident that they can provide a successful festival.
Bid Amount: $11,500
City Staff Time: Under this proposal, City staff responsibilities would include street closures (setting up cement blocks, barricades etc.), financial oversight (subcontractors, warrant requests, multiple meetings, coordination with police and fire as well as Gilton), and day of event includes staff oversight.
Option II: SMA Entertainment – Festival Coordination
Lively Libations Event Services- Cheese & Wine component SMA Entertainment is owned by Steven and Michelle Alexander. They oversee the Stockton Jazz Festival, Tequila Festival, Funktober Fest and Rib Cook off to name a few.
They have been doing festivals for the past 10 years. Steven and Michelle are confident that they are able to handle the coordination of the festival.
Lively Libations was founded in 2013 by Jill Contreras, a restaurant consultant and entrepreneur. Lively Libations is a full service, event staffing business. Jill has over 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry. Lively Libations is licensed by the City of Riverbank and Jill is a Riverbank resident. Lively is able to concentrate on the Cheese and Wine Component of the festival (this would include soliciting wineries, decorating, Cheese vendor coordinating, provide licensed wine pouring specialists to fill in at wine tables that do not have wine representatives). Jill attended last year’s wine tasting and has a great deal of insight on how this component can be improved.
Event though SMA is willing to oversee the entire festival, it is recommended by city staff that special attention be given to the wine and cheese component of the event by a contractor that has specific experience in this area. By contracting with both, the event will not be as overwhelming as each can focus on their component of the festival.
SMA Entertainment Bid: $13,000 excluding the cheese & Wine Component, $15,000 including the Cheese & Wine Component
Item 11.2 – CC/LRA – 02/14/2023
Lively Libations Bid: $10,000 for the Cheese & Wine Component of the event Total combined: $23,000
City Staff Time: Under this proposal, City staff responsibilities would include street closures (setting up cement blocks, barricades etc.), financial oversight (subcontractors, warrant requests, multiple meetings, coordination with police and fire as well as Gilton, and day of event includes staff oversight.
Boundary Map Options:
The boundary map last year included Third street all the way to east to 6th street. Even though we did have enough vendors to do this, some comments we received were that the wine tasting area did not feel as if it was part of the festival. The amount of fencing necessary to secure the event was increased by a significant amount of linear feet and was costly. If we continue with this boundary map for the festival, we would increase the fencing to encompass the Community Center to 7th street to lessen the confusion.
Changing the boundary map to start at 5th street and continue to 7th street encompassing the community center would give the event more of a festival feeling and reduce fencing costs as well.
Once the City Council gives staff direction on the bids presented and the boundary map, a contract and lease of city streets will be brought to Council so planning for the event can begin.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The financial impact for this report is the bid amount chosen. The event should be selfsustaining and the bid amount covered through revenue from the festival. It may be beneficial to budget in the 2023-2024 Fiscal Year budget a set amount to supplement the festival in the event that inflation is high and there is a revenue shortfall again this year.
