AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.1
SECTION 7: PRESENTATIONS
Meeting Date: July 25, 2023
Subject: Proclamation –National Health Center Week – August 8-12, 2023 From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Jessica Barragan, Administrative Assistant – Confidential

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council read the Proclamation for National Health Center Week – August 8-12, 2023; and present to Golden Valley Health Centers.

SUMMARY
Golden Valley Health Centers is a fully accredited FQHC (Federally Qualified Health Center) offering quality medical, dental, behavioral health, vision, urgent care and schoolbased health centers. They are able to provide these services because they are funded by federal monies, grants specifically for the care of low-income and homeless patients, insurance reimbursement for care, and donations. With this funding, they have 45 health centers in Merced, Stanislaus, and San Joaquin Counties, including four school-based health centers, two freestanding women’s health centers, twelve dental clinics, and two homeless healthcare programs.

Golden Valley Health Centers believes everyone should have access to affordable health care. For over 50 years, they have made this possible to communities across the Central Valley. Their mission is to improve the health of patients by providing quality, primary health care services regardless of language, financial or cultural barriers.

BACKGROUND
In September 1972, Golden Valley Health Centers began as a small Migrant Health Services program connected to Merced General Hospital. Since that time, Golden Valley Health Centers has expanded to meet community needs across Merced, Stanislaus, and San Joaquin counties. They are now serving nearly 150,000 patients each year through 45 clinical locations in the region. Early on it was clear that demand for primary care surpassed what the Center could provide out of the small clinic in Merced, and rapid expansion began. In 1998 they began a homeless healthcare program at the Modesto

ATTACHMENT

1. Proclamation
WHEREAS, for over 50 years, Community Health Centers have provided highquality, affordable, comprehensive primary and preventive health care in our nation’s medically underserved communities, delivering value to, and having a significant impact on America’s health care system.

WHEREAS, Community Health Centers are a critical element of the health system, serving rural, suburban, frontier, and urban populations, and often providing the only accessible and dependable source of primary care in their communities.

Nationwide, Community Health Centers serve one in every five residents of rural areas.

WHEREAS, disabilities can affect all people, regardless of race, age, gender, or social status and the essence of life is not embodied by physical or mental perfection but it is an integral part of the human spirit; and
WHEREAS, every day, Community Health Centers develop new approaches to integrating a wide range of services beyond primary care, including oral health, vision, behavioral health, and pharmacy services, to meet the needs and challenges of their communities. Health centers have more than doubled their behavioral health workforce in the last decade to meet Americans’ growing need for behavioral health services.

WHEREAS, Community Health Centers are governed by patient-majority boards, ensuring that patients are engaged in their own health care decisions.

WHEREAS, during National Health Center Week, we celebrate the legacy of America’s Community Health Centers, and their vital role in shaping the past, present, and future of America’s health care system.

NOW, THEREFORE, LET IT BE PROCLAIMED by the City Council of the City of Riverbank that August 8th-12th 2023 is National Health Center Week within the City of Riverbank. I encourage all Americans to take part in this week by visiting their local health center and celebrating the important partnership between America’s Community Health Centers and the communities they serve. _____________________________

AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.1
SECTION 11: NEW BUSINESS
Meeting Date: July 25, 2023
Subject: Designation of a Voting Delegate and Alternate(s) to Attend the 2023 League of California Cities Annual Conference
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council designate a member of the Council as the Voting Delegate, plus one or two alternates. They will attend the 2023 League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, to be held in Sacramento on September 20-22, 2023, and to participate in the Annual Business Meeting for the consideration of resolutions that establish Cal Cities policy. The City Council is to ratify the designations by roll call vote.

SUMMARY
Annually, the League of California Cities requests that the City Council take action in order to participate in the Annual Business Meeting by designating a Voting Delegate, and to appoint one or two alternates. Participation in the meeting ensures that Riverbank Officials have an opportunity to initiate and influence policy decisions by voting on resolutions that establish League policy. The resolutions for the City Council to consider will be presented at an upcoming Council meeting to discuss and determine the City’s position to each resolution, and to have the designated Voting Delegate or alternate represent the City’s position accordingly. The Annual Business Meeting will be held during the General Assembly on Friday, September 22nd. The Business Meeting is tentatively scheduled from 8:30 am – 10:30 am.

The designated Voting Delegate and alternate(s) must be registered for the conference.

Council’s selection of the Voting Delegate and alternate(s) will be reported to Cal Cities.

The current Cal Cities Central Valley Executive Committee representatives are Vice Mayor Hernandez as the primary member and Councilmember Uribe as the alternate.

New this year is a pre-conference informational session for voting delegates to explain their role.

1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.

2. Designating a City Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee.

3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.

4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city’s voting card by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.

5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.

6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of a city official to vote at the General Assembly.

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference and
Expo, Cal Cities members
may submit policy
proposals on issues of
importance to cities. The
resolution must have the concurrence
of at least five additional member cities
or individual members.

How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions
Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure that we are representing California cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policy that erodes local control.

The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how Resolutions and the General Assembly works.

The petitioned resolution
is an alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during the
annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of member
cities, and submitted to the Cal Cities
President at least 24 hours before the
beginning of the General Assembly.

Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities President
assigns general resolutions
to policy committees where
members review, debate,
and recommend positions for
each policy proposal. Recommendations are
forwarded to the Resolutions Committee.

Who’s who
The Resolutions
Committee includes
representatives from
each Cal Cities diversity
caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.

Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.

The General Assembly
is a meeting of the
collective body of
all voting delegates —
one from every
member city.

Seven Policy
Committees meet
throughout the year to
review and recommend
positions to take on
bills and regulatory
proposals. Policy
committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division,
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.

During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions Committee.

Potential Cal Cities bylaws amendments are also
considered at this meeting.

Cal Cities policy
development is a
member-informed
process, grounded
in the voices and
experiences of city
officials throughout
the state.

Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions Committee
considers all resolutions.

General Resolutions approved1
by either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee
are next considered by the General
Assembly. General resolutions not approved,
or referred for further study by both a policy
committee and the Resolutions Committee
do not go the General Assembly. All
Petitioned Resolutions are considered by the
General Assembly, unless disqualified.2
• Voting delegates will receive increased communications to prepare them for their role during the General Assembly.
• The General Assembly will take place earlier to allow more time for debate and discussion.
• Improvements to the General Assembly process will make it easier for voting delegates to discuss and debate resolutions.

What’s new in 2023?
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f).

SECTION 11: NEW BUSINESS
Meeting Date: July 25, 2023
Subject: Consideration of the Options for the Selection of a Riverbank Representative to the City of Oakdale Ad Hoc Animal Shelter Subcommittee
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider the options for the selection and appointment of a Riverbank Representative to the City of Oakdale Ad Hoc Animal Shelter Subcommittee.

SUMMARY
In the past several months both the City of Oakdale and the City of Riverbank have had discussions with local residents and non-profit organizations who have expressed concerns with the operations of the Oakdale Animal Shelter. Concerns were received regarding staffing, the treatment of the animals located at the shelter, amongst others.

To address these concerns at their July 17th meeting the City of Oakdale established an Ad Hoc Shelter Subcommittee to be able to discuss and recommend possible changes to the operations of the shelter for the benefit of our residents and the animals in their care. The City of Oakdale has asked that a Riverbank representative be appointed to the subcommittee.

BACKGROUND
Riverbank has contracted with the City of Oakdale for Animal Control Services since 2009. The Oakdale animal control staff has worked hard and dedicated many hours to helping our Riverbank community and its many lost and unsheltered animals. The shelter is located at 9800 Liberini Road in Oakdale and is open Monday – Friday from 9 am to 4:30 pm and on Saturday from 9 am to 1 pm. There is currently one full-time shelter attendant assisted by two part-time attendants.

This Ad Hoc Committee is to be comprised as follows:

1. Two City of Oakdale Council Members

2. One representative from ASTRO Foundation

3. One representative from OSPA

4. One representative from the animal shelter volunteers

5. One representative appointed by the Riverbank City Council

6. One representative appointed by the Escalon City Council The subcommittee will work with the City of Oakdale Staff to develop recommendations for operational changes to the animal shelter.

OPTIONS

1. A Riverbank City Council Member

2. Riverbank Staff Member Norma Torres-Manriquez who has been involved in the oversight of the Animal Control contract and has been involved in discussions with Riverbank residents and non-profit organizations who have expressed concerns.

3. Riverbank Resident, to be determined, to be appointed after holding a recruitment process. City staff would continue to attend the meetings until such time that a formal appointment is made.

The Committee’s next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, August 23, 2023.

If the City Council elects options number 1 or number 2, Council may ratify the appointment by roll call vote.

STRATEGIC PLAN
While not directly related to the City’s Strategic Plan, this item does help to provide an enhanced quality of life for residents and their pets.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact associated with the appointment of a Riverbank representative to the Ad Hoc Committee.
