RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council read the Proclamation for National Health Center Week August 3-9, 2025; and present to Golden Valley Health Centers.

SUMMARY
National Health Center Week is an opportunity to highlight the commitment and passion of Community Health Center staff, board members, and supporters who make it possible to provide quality, comprehensive healthcare services to more than 32.5 million patients across nearly 16,000 communities annually.

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

Item 7.1 – CC/LRA – 07/22/2025
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 Inn to provide free medical services to Stanislaus County’s homeless population. Golden Valley Health Centers has prioritized Women’s Health and other specialty services have been adopted, such as optometry, podiatry, and behavioral health to improve an array of health outcomes for residents.

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

Item 12.1 Staff

CC / LRA Minutes – 06/24/2025
Assistant City Manager Alcantor:
• I wanted to pass along from our Community Development Director, We have submitted our second HCD review draft to the state this afternoon. Just a recap on what we've done so far. On December 2nd, 2024, we submitted our first draft to HCD. On February 27th of 2025, HCD provided a response letter outlining various items to be updated and modified on June 26th, 2025, we released the second draft to the public for a seven-day comment period. So, June 16th to June 23rd. We did receive four public comment letters this week, and those have been incorporated into the second review draft. And then today we submitted that second draft for HCD review. And now we will wait while HCD does their 60-day review period.
• Mayor, can I just add one thing about our community meeting on regarding Riverwalk? It is Wednesday, July 9th at the Community Center. And just please note this is just a presentation. No action will be taken, but public comment will be allowed.

Item 12.2 Council/Authority Member
Councilmember Uribe:
• I just want to let the public know one of our local businesses, Circle T Market, they are located on 5925 Terminal Avenue. They have been in the community for 35 years. Due to circumstances out of their control, they have to close down. So, their final day, depending on when they can sell out completely, all their gas at the stations there. So, either Friday or Saturday, Saturday being the last day.

Tomorrow, I would like to invite everybody to just come out there. They are going to be doing a barbecue. They are trying to be low key about it. But I would really like to see, you know, some presence in Riverbank kind of show up for them as they have kind of been here for us for 35 years right. So, 4:00 PM, 5925 Terminal. It's the Circle T Market. Just stop by. They are going to barbecue for everybody. You know, purchase something. Just kind of help them out. • The Fresh Drive me and Stacy got this going until the 28th. There is still time to donate. But even after the 28th we are going to continue to push it. Keep pushing for donations. This is going to be a forever ongoing thing. We will just kind of blast it. You know, maybe I don't know, we haven't really decided, but we are going to continue to push and get these donations for Sierra House. • We have reached out to McClintock. We heard some of the issues from the LRA fund 198 the grant is no longer available. We have some property transfer status at the Aemetis the ongoing EPA dispute. So, we have invited McClintock's rep out to the Aemetis property. So, we got council members going to be attending and advocating for that. So, thank you guys for doing that. And then again, we won't see you guys for a while. We will see you for the joint planning meeting for Riverwalk. Other than that, have a good 4th of July and be safe.

CC / LRA Minutes – 06/24/2025
Vice Mayor Fosi:
• Today all of us. I think all of us were there. Oh, not John, sorry. We went to the groundbreaking for Sutter Gould. They are going to be building an Urgent Care with a couple of family practice over across from where the Costco is. As a Sutter Gould member, I am very excited. They are excited to be here. It should be building up by the end of the year and equipped and ready to go about this time next year, so it's an exciting addition to the Costco area. • Only other thing I want to say, since we are not meeting in two weeks, is happy 4th of July to everyone. Please say fireworks. Be safe. We want all our kiddos to keep all their fingers and toes, but have a good time and eat hot dogs and hamburgers.
• I have an open house. July 15th from 11am – 1pm. I will be out at the industrial park and we will be conducting tours. So please look it is posted on Instagram and my Facebook page. You can call the number and reserve a spot to have a tour and see what's going on at the Industrial Park, and you get to see me.

Councilmember Pimentel:
• On the 17th I went to the Tuesday night market where we met with Gaby and we did a photo shoot, which was a lot of fun. It encouraged the crowd to step forward and have some fun with their families. So, I encourage you to come on out to our activities. It's a great way to see our City that is coming together and growing. • Also, I attended the 108 Comedy night at the 108 Sports Lounge. We had a Sister City table there. Special thank you to Councilmember Call for that. • On the 19th attended the Stanislaus Latino Chamber's Mixer greet turned out really nice. Special thank you to Johnny Garcia for that. • On July 2nd, I will have a meet and greet near Costless at the TNT fireworks booth from 6:30pm to 8:30pm come on out and we can talk. • I want to encourage you all to have a safe fourth.

Councilmember Call:
• A couple weeks ago, after our last meeting, I went to the Stanislaus Homeless Alliance meeting, where I'm a committee member, and I don't think I talk about it enough. But every time I do the meetings, I give updates on the Sierra House and the day use facility and the statistics on showers there. So, I kind of wanted to share with you what I share with my colleagues on SHA. So, May 2025, the day use facility had 71 men take showers and 55 women. There are duplicated counts within these numbers because some of them use the facility multiple times a month. But since January 1st, 2025 to the present moment, we have admitted 33 new individuals to the day use facility and admitted means they have completed an HMIS intake form and received services from the facility at least

CC / LRA Minutes – 06/24/2025
once. Some of these individuals may only use the facility once, while others may use it up to five times per week indefinitely. Of the 33 individuals, 30 of them were experiencing unsheltered homelessness. None of them were minors. Seven of them had some kind of disabling condition, 20 were men and 13 were women.

And with that at SHA, we had a representative who goes to the school districts and talks to families, go over the different measure methods on unsheltered and homelessness. So, I have talked to Mayor Hernandez, and I have also requested the City Manager to put them on our Agenda to go over the different measuring methods, because when we get our pit count and it should be coming out any day now, when they measure pit count, the method in which they measure homelessness is completely different than the way the schools are measuring homelessness. So, we can have a low number of 22, but the schools could be measuring at 50 to 60 students who are homeless. So, I really want to educate our community on the definitions of homeless and unsheltered persons within our community, which takes me to the fresh drive where we are accepting monetary donations and items that are in need for the day use facility. So, socks, undergarments for men and women. We do accept items for minors as well because minors do unfortunately have to frequent the day's facility. Bleach, hand soap, laundry detergent. So, any of those items.
• Then LOVE Riverbank has $10 flags where you can honor a Veteran, a person of the community. And it is just a fundraiser to help raise funds for LOVE Riverbank. I personally bought ten, so some of you might have some flags out there.
• Then State of the County is July 1st at the County Chambers, which is also Modesto City Council Chambers in downtown Modesto. So, it is at 9:00am and Buck Condit, who is our representative for District one, is also the chair for Board of Supervisors. And he will be delivering the State of the County. • North County Corridor groundbreaking is July 8th at 9:30am. • Council and City Planning has a joint meeting open to the public on July 9th at 6:00pm at the community Center. I really encourage, especially those who are consistently coming to speak about the River Walk to come and see. I am excited for the workshop myself.
• Then 3rd Thursday, I decided that for my open office hours, I'm going to keep it consistent, keep it easy for everyone to remember. But 3rd Thursday is going to be my open office hours. Just kind of listen for the location because I'm going to try to spice it up a little bit, So that's July 17th.
• Lastly, last year at 108 Sports Lounge, we did a Comedy for a Cause for the Sheriff's department, for Riverbank Police Services, and all of the proceeds stayed local for Riverbank Shop with a cop. We are going to be doing it again.

And that is November 8th, so save the date for that. We had cool raffle prizes.

Item 12.3 Mayor/Chair

CC / LRA Minutes – 06/24/2025
Mayor Hernandez:
• So, I was able to participate in the groundbreaking for California Rural Legal Assistance that provides free legal services for low income people. And though they are in Modesto, I told them. And their director is actually a Riverbank native.

So, we're hoping to bring some of their services to this area. • I was able to go to Volt Institute's graduation ceremony and give a what I felt was very uninspiring keynote speech, but it was really great being there just to update everybody. They're working on a, I believe, three-year strategic plan, which I think will be a great opportunity for us to give some really serious input. And I started giving them notice of that, that how we want to participate. • I was able to tour Welbe Health. If I'm pronouncing that correctly. They are located at the end of Roselle on Scenic, and they give great, are you familiar with them? I'd love to have you give a little input, but they give all kinds of services for seniors 55 and over a plan for daily life, some normalcy, transportation for medical services from their homes to wherever they need to go. Food, fresh food and hot foods, but also foods to take home, etc. So, one of their directors is also a Riverbank native, and so they are very interested in coming to share some of their resources.
• I am on the Boys and Girls Club board of directors and we / I want to move forward if anyone from our RUSD is listening because we have after school programs in other school districts, but none here yet for this district for having a conversation around that. I think they are under the impression that we already had a program with our Parks and Recreation department, so maybe that's part of the reason why they haven't approached us.
• Stanislaus Latino Chamber, I believe you mentioned it, but every year is pretty fun. They have a beer named after them. And so, it was a great time to be able to go there and hang out.
• I participated in Saturday Night Market their organizers doing this fun social media thing called Battle Bites, and it was slightly embarrassing, but it is now well documented on social media. If you want to take a look at their page. • Project Resolve, I'm going to tag team this with Councilmember Call. But we both participate in the meetings. And three years ago, I believe, Richard correct me if I'm wrong they did a survey when we were considering the School Resource Officer at the school district, at Riverbank School District, to talk about with the students, about what their feelings were around, having a School Resource Officer, what their thinking, what some of the opinions are. And now recently, this year they conducted another survey after a couple years of having the School Resource Officer there with new information and more opinions from the students themselves around their sentiments with the SRO and law enforcement as a whole, Project Resolve aims to build community and communication with our neighbors, and so we are going to have them come and we have a whole list you want to add to it, we have a whole list of data that we want to bring. And will let you add to that:

CC / LRA Minutes – 06/24/2025
Councilmember Call: So, we talked about definition of homeless just because Project Resolve kind of works hand in hand with those with some of the resources that our Sheriff's department offers. But adding in calls for service hotspots in Riverbank, we'd like to really evaluate the hotspots. Last meeting, I requested an additional deputy. So really getting to see those hotspots where the calls are going and then dispatch changes, which we talked about. But I brought it to Mayor's attention that when I am looking at our biweekly reports of calls for service, they are not really in an isolated area anymore. They are more scattered. And especially with the increase in retail, I would like to take a proactive approach to keeping our community safe rather than a reactive approach. And doing stings is effective, but it's not efficient to do it once a month for the Sheriff's department. So, if we can be proactive rather than reactive, I would really like to do that. • Our meetings are always robust, but we would love to have a full meeting with you know, our experts from Sheriff's office, the consultants from Project Resolve to give a full gamut of data for us to be able to make decisions around public safety.
• Happy 4th of July!

RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL / LOCAL REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.4
SECTION 9: CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: July 22, 2025
Subject: Resolution to Approve Amendment #1 of the Memorandum of Understanding with Stanislaus County to Host Library
Operations at the Teen Center during Renovation of the
Riverbank Public Library
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Michael Patton, Parks and Recreation Director

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve Amendment #1 of the Memorandum of Understanding with Stanislaus County to host library operations at the Teen Center during the renovation of the Riverbank Public Library.

SUMMARY
On April 8th, the City Council approved the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for Stanislaus County to host its library operations at the Teen Center during the renovation of the local library. The MOU has Stanislaus County using the Teen Center through the month of September. As renovation work continues at the local library, Stanislaus County provided the Parks and Recreation Department with a construction update that the projected construction timeline is no longer accurate and that they would like to seek an extension on the MOU. The proposed extension would have Stanislaus County in the Teen Center through January 2026. All other terms in the MOU will remain unchanged.

BACKGROUND
In late 2024, staff from the Riverbank Public Library contacted city staff informing them that the county is scheduling a renovation of the local library and they are looking for locations where they can operate during the renovation. The limited services include book reservation, pick up, and drop off. Since facility maintenance and operations are under the Parks and Recreation departments, the Parks and Recreation director took the lead in assisting the library. The Parks and Recreation Director and county staff visited multiple city-owned facilities that would have sufficient spacing needed for the County’s proposed

Item 9.4 – CC/LRA – 07/22/2025
usage. After discussions, both parties believe that the City’s Teen Center would be the best use.

Within the Teen Center, there is a small room that is an estimated 150 square feet that is currently being used as storage. The city has cleared the space so that the library could operate with storing books, computer access for their staff, etc. The library has agreed to use the facility only for book pick up, drop off, and reservation during the hours of 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM. This time frame would not conflict with the city’s current programming. The library would begin using the Teen Center on April 13th with the library’s renovation estimated to be 5 months.

In June 2025, the Riverbank Public Library contacted the Parks and Recreation Department to inform them of an updated project timeline and that it is expected to be longer than originally anticipated. The new timeline has the renovation project being completed by December 2025. The Library has requested an extension on the terms of the agreed upon MOU to allow them to continue operations at the Teen Center through January 2026. This will allow some leeway in case changes to the new timeline occur as well as giving the staff time to restock the library once they can re-enter their facility.

All other terms that were agreed upon in the original MOU will remain the same.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City will generate $150.00 in revenue per month for the library to use the Teen Center during their renovation. The City will continue to experience an increase in expenditures with utilities and janitorial services.

STRATEGIC PLAN
In the city’s recently updated strategic plan, the revitalized vision statement highlights the importance of collaborating with local and regional partners. In partnering with Stanislaus County, the City will be able to host an important and vital resource to the community during the library’s short displacement.

RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL / LOCAL REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.5
SECTION 9: CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: July 22, 2025
Subject: Resolution to Approve the Application for the Land and Water Conservation Fund Riverbank Sports Complex Expansion
Project
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Michael Patton, Parks and Recreation Director

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approves the submission of a grant application for the Land and Water Conservation Fund program for the Riverbank Sports Complex Expansion project.

SUMMARY
The Parks and Recreation Department is exploring the opportunity to apply for funding from the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). This federal funding opportunity intends to preserve land and waterways for public use in perpetuity and can be used to acquire property or develop park space. With the City Council outlining the importance of the expansion of the local sports complex in their recent strategic planning session, the department will attempt to apply for funding.

As a requirement to apply for funding, the application needs a resolution from the applicant’s elected body providing approval that an application can be submitted.

BACKGROUND
The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) is a federally funded program administered by the National Park Service and managed at the state level by the California Department of Parks and Recreation. The program was established in 1965 to help preserve, develop, and ensure access to outdoor recreation resources for future generations. LWCF grants require that any property acquired or developed with these funds be protected for public outdoor recreation use in perpetuity.

Item 9.5– CC/LRA – 07/22/2025
In early 2025, the Parks and Recreation Department identified the LWCF as a potential funding source to support the expansion of the Riverbank Sports Complex. This project aligns with the City Council’s strategic priorities, as recently outlined during the annual strategic planning session, which emphasized the importance of expanding and enhancing recreational amenities to meet the needs of the growing community.

The department is pursuing LWCF funding to assist with the acquisition of additional land or the development of facilities that will increase access to youth and adult recreational opportunities. In order to submit an application, the City is required to adopt a resolution from the elected body (City Council) authorizing the filing of the application and committing to the requirements and obligations of the grant, should it be awarded.

This resolution will demonstrate the City's support for the proposed project and authorize City staff to move forward with submitting a complete LWCF grant application.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City will be applying for a $1,500,000 grant to cover the estimated 50% to acquire the proposed property. The grant is a 1:1 matching grant, which means the City will need to contribute $1,500,000. The City intends on using funding that has been collected from System Development Fees as well as funds collected specifically from the Crossroads West Specific Plan Fee Schedule for Community Parks.

STRATEGIC PLAN
In the City’s strategic plan, an outlined strategy involves fundraising for the expansion of the sports complex. Approving this resolution would allow the Parks and Recreation Department to submit a grant application to the Land and Water Conservation Fund to provide the estimated 50% of the property acquisition costs.

The contract will be for 1 year with two options to renew the contract an additional year. The City received proposals for Civil Engineering Services from Benchmark Engineering, MCR Engineering, and Westwood. After a thorough review of the proposals by City staff, we recommend MCR Engineering.

MCR Engineering is local and highly experienced and currently works with the cities of Hughson, Oakdale and Waterford. The firm will assist the City with private development review and prepare plans and specifications for City projects.

From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Kathleen Cleek, Capital Projects/Regulatory Compliance Manager RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt a Resolution declaring its intention to annex territory to the City of Riverbank Community Facilities District 2016-1 (Public Services) and to authorize the levy of a special tax therein to finance certain City services.

The conditions of approval for this project require it to annex into CFD 2016-1, which was established as an annexable district to provide financing for police services, street maintenance, parks, storm drainage, and landscaping.

SUMMARY:

By Resolution No. 2016-028, the City Council established CFD 2016-1, a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District with the intention that future development within the City of Riverbank (the “City”) would annex into this district. The special taxes collected from the property owners within the district are to be used for the funding of police services, landscape maintenance, park maintenance, drainage maintenance, and street maintenance.

Item 9.7- CC/LRA 07/22/2025
The parcels proposed for annexation are generally located east of Central Avenue, west of Snedigar Road, and north of Patterson Road. The boundary of the annexation includes the area within assessor’s parcel numbers 062-020-037-000, 062-020-038-000, and 062- 020-040-000 as depicted on Exhibit A. Development of these properties change the characteristics of undeveloped land. Once developed, this project will have intensified the use of the property, creating a need for more services under this CFD.

As part of the annexation process, the City contracts with Willdan Financial Services for the preparation of the necessary resolutions and balloting procedures for the annexation.

The Resolution of Intention is the first step in the process of annexing new developments into CFD 2016-1. This will be the 3
rd annexation into the district. The resolution also
establishes August 26, 2025 as the public hearing date for the final consideration of the annexation of the property into CFD 2016-1. Once the annexation is complete, the property owners of the annexed parcels will be required to pay annual special taxes for CFD 2016-1, beginning in Fiscal Year 2026/2027 as itemized on their property tax bill in accordance with the rate set forth in the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax.

The CFD 2016-1 Rate and Method of Apportionment was established as part of the formation of the district and fixed Fiscal Year 2016-2017 as the base year for the annual special tax rate as shown in Exhibit B. Since the formation, assessments have increased based on a cost inflator allowed in the original formation documents. The current special tax rate for the district is as shown in Exhibit C.

FISCAL IMPACT:

All costs associated with the annexation shall be paid by the party or parties requesting to be annexed into CFD 2016-1.

Item 9.9 – CC/LRA 07/22/2025

RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL/ LOCAL REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.9
SECTION 9: CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: July 22, 2025
Subject: Resolution to Approve a Subdivision Improvement Agreement for Heritage II with Summerfaire Commerce Center, LLC and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Agreement
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Joshua E. Mann, Director of Community Development

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider the attached resolution approving the Subdivision Improvement Agreement with Summerfaire Commerce Center, LLC for Heritage II and directing the City Manager to execute the agreement.

SUMMARY
On September 17, 2024, the Planning Commission approved Resolution No. 2024-007 for the Architecture and Site Plan Review of the proposed Heritage II homes. The architecture and design of the residential dwellings are consistent with the adjacent subdivisions and can be considered a subsequent phase of the already built Heritage I subdivision. The developer has begun grading and installing improvements for Heritage II. On October 8, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-097, approving Vesting Tentative Map 01-2024 and related conditions of approval which set forth infrastructure obligations and conditions related to the development and build out of approximately 47 residential lots on 5.90± acres.

One of the last steps in the subdivision map process is the approval of a Final Map which subdivides the parcel into the individual lots planned for homes, streets, utilities, and parkland or other public areas. Commonly, there are two ways to achieve a Final Map. The first way is for the developer to install all required infrastructure improvements (roads, street lighting, water/sewer lines, etc) in advance of requesting the final map.

The second way is to enter into a Subdivision Improvement Agreement (“SIA”) and submit bonds, which provide security for the City that the improvements will be

Item 9.9 – CC/LRA 07/22/2025
completed as required by the tentative map conditions of approval. In the past, the City has used both methods depending on the individual needs and timelines of each project.

Summerfaire Commerce Center, LLC has begun the process of on-site grading and is installing infrastructure improvements. They have requested that Council consider approving their final map (also agendized for this Council meeting). As such, the Riverbank Municipal Code (“RMC”) requires that a Subdivision Improvement Agreement be approved in advance of the approval of a final map.

Exhibit A is a standard Subdivision Improvement Agreement that lays out many of the bonding and insurance requirements set forth in the Riverbank Municipal Code. Specific items in the agreement have been tailored to fit the circumstances of Heritage II.

Approval of this document will allow the developer to request final map consideration by Council.

The estimated cost of the required infrastructure improvements for Heritage II are approximately $225,354.50. This estimate has been reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. RMC §152.076 requires that two specific improvement securities be filed with the City: the first security (bond) shall secure faithful performance of the agreement in an amount equal to 100% of the estimated cost of the improvements and the second security shall secure the obligations set forth in Cal Govt. Code §66499.3(b) of payment of the contractor, his subcontractors and to persons renting equipment or furnishing labor or materials to them for the improvements, and shall be in an amount equal to 50% of the total estimated cost of the improvements. The Municipal Code provides a variety of options for developers to provide these securities, including the provision of bonds to the City Clerk. The City Attorney reviews these documents as to form.

CREDITS & REIMBURSEMENTS
Summerfaire Commerce Center, LLC has submitted two requests for credits or reimbursements related to the development of the Heritage II subdivision. The first request is for a waiver of the Storm Water System Development Fee (SDF). As the project will connect to the Diamond Bar East Regional Basin rather than the City’s storm drain system, a full waiver of the Storm SDF is being requested and this request is consistent with past City practice in this area. A detailed breakdown of the project’s SDF obligations by category is provided in the table below and reflects the proposed waiver.

In addition to the Storm SDF waiver, the developer is requesting park-in-lieu fee credits for a proposed Pocket Park to be constructed within the Heritage II subdivision. The developer has submitted a cost estimate for the full build-out of the Pocket Park, which has been capped at a not-to-exceed amount of $65,000. This amount would be applied as a credit toward the total park-in-lieu fee. The current parkland dedication obligation for the project is 0.82 acres.

Item 9.9 – CC/LRA 07/22/2025
Heritage II SDF Obligation
SDF Fee Category SDF Fee per Unit Heritage II
(47 lots)
Water $10,085.00 $473,995.00
Sewer $4,397.00 $206,659.00
Storm $9,938.00 $0.00
Parks/Rec $5,617.00 $263,999.00
Gen. Gov / Police $2,034.00 $95,598.00
Traffic $4,282.00 $201,254.00
5% Admin $1,817.00 $85,399.00
TOTAL $38,170.00 $1,326,904.00

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no direct financial impact as a result of the Subdivision Improvement Agreement. However, approval of the SIA will allow the review and approval of the Final Map and facilitate the development of single-family residential units and associated amenities.

A. The irrevocable offer of dedication or conveyance to City by Subdivider of appropriate rights-of-way, easements or other interests in real property, as determined by City; or B. Authorization from the affected property owner to allow construction or installation of the Improvements; or
C. The issuance of an order of possession by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to the State Eminent Domain Law (Code Civ. Proc., § 1230.010 et seq.). Subdivider shall comply in all respects with any such order of possession.

Section 11. Repair of Defective Work After Acceptance of Improvements. If, within a period of one (1) year after final acceptance of the Improvements, any portion of the Improvements or any work done under this Agreement fails to fulfill any of the requirements of this Agreement or conform to the Improvement Plans or Improvement Standards, Subdivider shall without delay and without any cost to City, repair, replace or reconstruct any defective or otherwise unsatisfactory part of the Improvements. If Subdivider fails to act promptly in accordance with this requirement, or if the exigencies of the situation require repairs or replacements to be made before Subdivider can be notified or correct the situation, then City may, at its option, make the necessary repairs or replacements or perform the necessary work. In such event, City shall first call on the Warranty Security (as defined herein) to pay the costs of the work. Subdivider shall remain responsible for the actual cost of the work performed by City plus fifteen percent (15%), excluding the amount received by City under the Warranty Security.

Section 11. Securities.

A. Types of Security. Subdivider shall secure completion of the Improvements by providing the following securities (collectively, the “Securities”), to be attached as Exhibits C through E:
i. Performance Security. A performance security that is one hundred percent (100%) of the total Cost Estimate, securing the Subdivider’s faithful performance and completion of the Improvements (“Performance Security”). ii. Payment Security. An additional amount that is fifty percent (50%) of the total Cost Estimate, securing Subdivider’s payment to any contractor, subcontractor, person renting or supplying equipment, or furnishing labor and materials for the Improvements (“Payment Security”).
iii. Warranty. An additional amount of ten percent (10%) of the total Cost Estimate, for the guarantee and warranty of the Improvements against any defective work or labor done, or defective materials, for a period of one (1) year following their completion and acceptance by City (“Warranty Security”). Upon Subdivider’s reasonable request, the Warranty Security may be posted after the Final Map is accepted but immediately prior to all public improvements being deemed complete and accepted by City.

B. Conditions of Security.
i. Bonds. Any bonds submitted as the Securities shall be executed by a surety company authorized to conduct a surety business in California and shall be in a form as specified by the Subdivision Laws.
ii. Irrevocable. All Securities deposited as bonds under this Agreement shall be irrevocable, shall not be limited as to time (except as to the guarantee and warranty period), and shall provide that they may be released, in whole or part, only upon the written approval of City, as provided under the Subdivision Laws and subdivision C below. All Securities shall expressly obligate the surety for any extension of time authorized by City for Subdivider’s completion of the Improvements, whether or not the surety is given notice of such an extension by City.
iii. Replacement. If Subdivider seeks to replace any of the Securities, such replacement security shall: (1) comply with all requirements of this Agreement; (2) be provided by Subdivider to City; and (3) upon written acceptance by City, be deemed to be a part of this Agreement. Upon City’s acceptance of a replacement security, the earlier provided Security may be released.

C. Release of Securities. The Securities required by this Agreement shall be released in accordance with the Subdivision Laws and the following provisions:
i. Performance Security. City shall release the Performance Security after recording a Notice of Completion for all the Improvements, or as may otherwise be authorized in accordance with the Subdivision Laws.
ii. Payment Security. The Payment Security may, six (6) months after the Notice of Completion is recorded by City, be reduced to an amount equal to the amount of all claims filed related to the Improvements and for which notice has been given to City. The balance of the Payment Security shall be released upon the settlement of all claims and obligations for which the Payment Security was given.
iii. Warranty. The Securities provided for guarantee and warranty of workmanship shall be released after one (1) year following recordation of a Notice of Completion for the Improvements. If, however, City determines there are defects in the Improvements that require correction pursuant to Section 11 above, and Subdivider fails to correct such defects within a reasonable time, City may utilize the Securities to make all necessary corrections, including payment of reasonable expenses and attorney’s fees in connection with enforcement of any provision of this Agreement.

D. Records. Evidence of the Securities required by this Agreement shall be kept on file with City.

Section 12. Modified Improvements. In the event of changes to the Improvement Standards or other local, state or federal laws applicable to the Improvements occurring after the Effective Date, City reserves the right to require such modifications to Improvements not yet commenced by Subdivider. The modifications shall be incorporated into the Improvement Plans and resubmitted to City for approval prior to construction. Upon receiving written notification from City of the modified Improvements, Subdivider shall resubmit Improvement Plans to City. In the event City requires modifications to the Improvements, Subdivider shall provide an updated Cost Estimate for the Improvements and new Securities in accordance with the updated Cost Estimate, as may be required by City. This Section shall not apply to any Improvements for which Subdivider has already commenced construction.

Section 13. Default of Subdivider.

A. Breach. Subdivider shall be deemed to have materially breached this Agreement based on, but not limited to, any of the following occurrences: (i) failure to timely complete construction of the Improvements; (ii) failure to timely cure any defect in the Improvements to the satisfaction of City; (iii) failure to timely deposit additional Securities as may be required by this Agreement; (iv) Subdivider’s insolvency, appointment of a receiver, or the filing of any petition in bankruptcy either voluntary or involuntary which Subdivider fails to discharge within thirty (30) days; (v) the commencement of a foreclosure action against the Project or a portion thereof, or any conveyance in-lieu or in avoidance of foreclosure; or (vi) failure to perform any other material obligation under this Agreement, as determined by the Engineer.

B. Notice of Breach; Default. In the event of any material breach of this Agreement, City shall serve written notice upon Subdivider and Subdivider’s surety, if any, informing Subdivider and its surety of the breach. Subdivider shall have twenty (20) days from receipt of written notice by City to cure any breach. If the breach is not cured, or significant progress towards curing the breach is not made, Subdivider shall be considered in default.

C. Remedies; Performance by City.
i. In the event of Subdivider’s default under this Agreement, and the twenty (20)-day cure period has expired without such default having been cured, Subdivider authorizes City to complete all work on the Improvements at the sole expense of Subdivider, and Subdivider authorizes City to utilize the Securities to complete all work on the Improvements and to pay all labor costs of contractors, subcontractors and workers related to the Improvements. In the event of a default by Subdivider, City may (a) take over and complete the Improvements, by contract or by any other method chosen by City, at the expense of Subdivider, (b) Subdivider shall be liable to City for any excess cost or damages incurred by City, including but not limited to costs of suit and attorney’s fees, and (c) City may take possession of, and utilize such materials, appliances, equipment, plant and other property belonging to Subdivider as may be necessary for completion of the Improvements.
ii. Failure of Subdivider to comply with the terms of this Agreement shall constitute consent to the filing by City of a notice of violation against all lots within the Project, or to rescind the approval or otherwise revert the Project to acreage. iii. The failure of City to take an enforcement action with respect to a default or breach, or to declare a default or breach, shall not be construed as a waiver of that default or breach or any subsequent default or breach of Subdivider. iv. In addition to the remedies described in this Section, City reserves to itself all remedies available to it at law or in equity for breach of Subdivider’s obligations under this Agreement. The right of City to draw upon or utilize the Securities is additional to and not inlieu of any other remedy available to City. Subdivider agrees that the choice of remedy or remedies for Subdivider’s default shall be at the discretion of City.

D. Lien. In accordance with the Subdivision Laws (Gov. Code, § 66499), the recordation of this Agreement creates a lien attached to the Property underlying the Project and has the priority of a judgment lien in the amount necessary to complete the Improvements.

Section 14. Other Agreements for Improvements. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude City from entering into agreements with Subdivider or other parties for the apportionment of costs of water or sewer mains, or other improvements, pursuant to the provisions of City ordinances providing therefore, nor shall anything in this Agreement commit City to any such apportionment.

Section 15. Indemnity.

A. No Liability. City elected and appointed councils, commissions, officers, agents, employees and representatives (“City Agents”) shall not be liable or responsible for any accident, loss or damage relating to the Improvements prior to completion of the Improvements.

All such risks shall be the responsibility of and are hereby expressly assumed by Subdivider.

B. Indemnity/Hold Harmless. City and City Agents shall not be liable, and Subdivider agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend City and City Agents from any and all liability for claims of damage which may arise as a result of any negligent acts or omissions by Subdivider or its agents, contractors, or employees in connection with the construction or operation of the Improvements. This indemnification and agreement to hold harmless shall extend to (i) injuries to persons and property, (ii) the taking of property resulting from the design or construction of the Project and the Improvements, and (iii) injuries to adjacent property owners as a consequence of the construction of the Project and the Improvements. Acceptance by City of the Improvements shall not constitute an assumption by City of any responsibility for any damage covered by this Section.

C. Indemnity of Project Approval. Subdivider shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City and City Agents from any claim, action, or proceeding to attack, set aside, void, or annul, any approval by City concerning the Project. Subdivider shall not be required to pay or perform any settlement unless the settlement is approved by Subdivider. City shall not be liable for approving, reviewing, checking, or correcting any plans or specifications or for approving, reviewing or inspecting any Improvements.

D. Design Defects. After acceptance of the Improvements, the Subdivider shall remain obligated to eliminate any defect in design or dangerous condition caused by a latent design or construction defect. Provisions of this paragraph shall remain in full force and effect for ten (10) years following acceptance by City of the Improvements. It is the intent of this Section that Subdivider shall be responsible for all liability for design and construction of the Improvements pursuant to this Agreement and that City shall not be liable for any negligence, nonfeasance, misfeasance, or malfeasance in approving, reviewing, checking, or correcting any plans or specifications or in approving, reviewing or inspecting the Improvements.

From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Joshua E. Mann, Director of Community Development

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Final Map (“FM”) for the Hertiage II Subdivision based on the required finding that the map is in conformity with the provisions of subdivision law and city code.

BACKGROUND
The developer of this project Summerfaire Commerce Center, LLC has submitted a request to record the Final Map for their 47-lot single family residential subdivison located at the southeast corner of Sierra Street and Claus Road.

On September 17, 2024, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2024-006, approving Vesting Tentative Map 01-2024 and related conditions of approval which set forth the infrastructure obligations and conditions related to the site development and build out of approximately 47 residential lots on 5.90± acres (see Attachment 2 – Heritage II - Approved Tentative Map). The project’s Subdivions Improvement Agreement is being processed concurently and is on the same City Council Agenda as this Final Map request as Item 9.9.

Pursuant to Riverbank Municipal Code Section §152.074 (C)(2), the City Council shall, at the meeting at which it receives the map or at its next regular meeting after the meeting at which it receives the map, approve the map if it is determined to be in conformity with the provisions of law and of this chapter. The Council shall disapprove the map if it is

Item 9.10– CC/LRA – 07/22/2025
determined not to be in conformity with the provisions of law and of this chapter and shall advise the subdivider of its disapproval, and the reason or reasons thereof.

The City Engineer and Community Development Director have reviewed the Final Map (Exhibit A) and confirmed that it substantially complies with City standards and the conditions of the approved Tentative Map. The estimated parkland obligation for the 47- lot residential subdivision is 0.82 acres, based on a standard density of 3.5 persons per dwelling unit and city’s parkland requirement of 1-acre per 58 dwelling units. The subdivider has indicated an intent to satisfy this obligation through a combination of Parkin-Lieu fees and credits, as outlined in the project’s Subdivision Improvement Agreement.

The Project is compliant with CEQA – the Project qualified for a Notice of Exemption.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL / LOCAL REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.1
SECTION 10: NEW BUSINESS
Meeting Date: July 22, 2025
Subject: Resolution Authorizing the Application and Amending the PLHA Program Plan for the Permanent Local Housing
Allocation Program
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider adopting a Resolution to amend the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Formula Allocation Plan originally approved in July 2020, and subsequently amended in 2021 and 2024.

SUMMARY
At the Special July 16, 2020 City Council meeting, the Council adopted a Resolution approving the Five-Year Permanent Local Housing Formula Allocation Plan as part of our submittal of an application to the State Department of Housing and Community Development for the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Grant Program. The Plan was subsequently amended to allocate funding for the River Terrace (Ward Villas) Project. The City was awarded the grant and amended the adopted plan in order to incorporate funding for Stanislaus Equity Partners for the Bridge Covenant Village Development. The City’s 2021, 2022, and 2023 allocations remain unspent but based on Council feedback during the adoption of the annual budget, funds will be requested to be re-allocated to the Sierra House.

BACKGROUND
The City applied for Permanent Local Housing Allocation funds in July 2020 and was successfully awarded funds to be expended over a five-year period. The City’s Original Allocation Plan detailed which eligible activities the program funding may be used for.

Initially, the City desired that the funds be used for any combination of the following:

1. Ward Villas Affordable Housing Project. Funds to assist with the costs of the offsite improvements to maintain housing affordability for future buyers.

Item 10.1– CC/LRA 07/22/2025

2. Assisting persons who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, including, but not limited to, providing rapid rehousing, rental assistance, supportive/case management services that allow people to obtain and retain housing, operating and capital costs for navigation centers and emergency shelters, and the new construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of permanent and transitional housing.

3. Accessibility modifications in Lower-income Owner-occupied housing.

4. Efforts to acquire and rehabilitate foreclosed or vacant homes and apartments.

5. Homeownership opportunities, including, but not limited to, down payment assistance.

The five-year plan was approved in July 2020, and amended in 2021, and subsequently in 2024:

FUNDING YEAR ACTIVITY 2020 2021 2024
2019 Affordable Rental or Housing Ownership 100% 100%
Activity 2 – Affordable Rental 100%
2020 Transitional Housing 20%
Housing Rehab Program 20%
Affordable Rental or Housing Project 100%
Housing Acquisition & Rehab 20%
First-Time Homebuyers 40%
Activity 2 – Affordable Rental 100%
2021 Transitional Housing 20%
Housing Rehab Program 20%
Housing Acquisition & Rehab 20%
First-Time Homebuyers 40%
Affordable Rental or Housing Project 100% 100%
2022 Transitional Housing 20% 20% 20%
Housing Rehab Program 20% 20% 20%
Housing Acquisition & Rehab 20% 60% 60%
First-Time Homebuyers 40%
2023 Transitional Housing 20% 20% 20%
Housing Rehab Program 20% 20% 20%
Housing Acquisition & Rehab 20% 60% 60%
First-Time Homebuyers 40%

Item 10.1– CC/LRA 07/22/2025
In March 2024, Stanislaus Equity Partners reached out to the City requesting financial assistance to complete the project. The project developers requested $250,000 from the City’s PLHA funds. After evaluating the project and based on the City Council’s adopted PLHA plan that would provide for the first three years of funding to be used towards Affordable Rental or Housing Ownership projects, we believed that this project was a good fit for the immediate use of the funds. As such, at the June 25th meeting, the City Council approved the allocation of two years of funding towards the project.

Based on Council feedback during the Annual Budget Workshop and the adoption of the FY 2025-26 Annual Budget, staff has brought forward a Plan Amendment to allocate funds towards the Sierra House operations. The PLHA Program has now made it a requirement that 40% of the grant award must be allocated to an Affordable Homeownership Program, therefore the remaining 60% can be allocated to Sierra House.

As such, City staff proposes the following amended plan for approval and submittal to the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development:

Funding Year Activity % Allocation
2019 Activity 2 - Affordable Rental 100%
2020 Activity 2 - Affordable Rental 100%
2021 Activity 2 – Affordable Ownership 40%
Activity 6 - Assisting Persons at Risk of
Homelessness
60%
2022 Activity 2 – Affordable Ownership 40%
Activity 6 - Assisting Persons at Risk of
Homelessness
60%
2023 Activity 2 – Affordable Ownership 40%
Activity 6 - Assisting Persons at Risk of
Homelessness
60%

STRATEGIC PLAN
This item is directly related to the City Council’s Strategic Plan Goal to “Foster Attainable Housing.”

FINANCIAL IMPACT
If awarded, the City is eligible to receive approximately $732,382 with the following available for the 2021, 2022, and 2023 allocations:

Year Total Allocation Activity 2 Activity 6
2021 $206,039.00 $82,415.60 $123,623.40
2022 $113,572.00 $45,428.80 $68,143.20

Item 10.2 – CC / LRA 07/22/2025

RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL / LOCAL REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.2
SECTION 10: PUBLIC HEARINGS
Meeting Date: July 22, 2025
Subject: Public Hearing for Proposed Solid Waste Rate Increase From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted By: Tammy Alcantor, Assistant City Manager/Director of Finance

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider adopting a resolution approving a 1.3% Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase in rates for solid waste disposal services pursuant to the executed franchise agreement with Gilton Solid Waste, Inc.

SUMMARY
On April 12, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-033 adopting revised rates for Solid Waste Disposal service after holding a Proposition 218 Protest Hearing and receiving a less than a majority protest. In addition, Resolution 2021-090 authorized the execution of a Franchise Agreement with Gilton Solid Waste, Inc. to provide said services.

Per Section 9.1 Rates of the Franchise Agreement, the City will adjust the maximum charges made to Customers to reflect annual changes in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI”) published by the U.S. Department of Labor for the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, CA statistical area, not to exceed five percent (5%) per year.

The proposed CPI adjustment is 1.3%.

BACKGROUND
Gilton Solid Waste Management (Gilton) has been providing waste management services to the residents and businesses of Riverbank for more than 40 years. The most recent Franchise Agreement negotiated with Gilton Solid Waste Management, Inc. began on April 22, 2022, and will expire in April 2028. Said Franchise Agreement was approved following the Proposition 218 hearing held on April 12, 2022, where less than a majority of protests were received with regard to increases in solid waste rates. The Franchise Agreement and rates include SB 1383 compliance language which was the major factor for the rate increases.

Item 10.2 – CC / LRA 07/22/2025
SB 1383 is intended to reduce methane emissions at landfills through a process of reducing the disposal of organic waste by 75% below 2014 levels. Organic waste is defined as green materials, wood waste, fiber materials, food scraps, food-soiled paper, and landscaping and pruning waste. In order to meet these mandates, changes were made to Riverbank’s waste disposal system.

As part of the City’s original adoption of garbage rates, Gilton Solid Waste Management proposed a High-Diversion Material Recovery Facility (MRF) system to its municipal clients. This system eliminates the need for a third waste container by allowing the facility to sort waste streams and divert organic and recyclable materials from the landfill. Gilton first presented a general overview of this system at the March 9, 2021, City Council meeting. Subsequently, at the August 24, 2021 meeting, the City Council expressed its support for implementing the proposed MRF system.

We are pleased to share that Gilton Resource Recovery, Transfer Facility, Inc. is now officially listed on CalRecycle’s High Diversion Organic Waste Processing Facilities List.

This recognition reflects significant progress in meeting the State's organics diversion and recycling goals.

In addition to being listed, Gilton has achieved an exceptional organic waste recovery rate of 91% for the reporting period from Q4 2023 through Q3 2024—far surpassing the State’s required average mixed waste organic content recovery rate of 50%.

This achievement represents a major milestone in our collective efforts toward environmental sustainability and responsible waste management.

The rates adopted by the City Council provide our residents with the following services:
• Basic Cart Service (30 & 90 Gallon)
• Organics Cart Service (90 Gallon)
• Curbside Bulky Item Program (2 times per calendar year) • Curbside E-Waste Collection Program (4 times per calendar year) • Christmas Tree Pick-up Program
Additional Services at a Fee:
o Go Back and pick up
o Extra Dump on Cart
o Wash on the Cart

CONSUMER PRICE INDEX
Section 9.1 Rates of the Franchise Agreement stipulates that in years two three, four, and five of the Agreement Term, the City will adjust the maximum charges made to Customers under this Agreement to reflect annual changes in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI”) published by the U. S. Department of labor for the San FranciscoOakland-San Jose, CA statistical area. Such adjustments shall not exceed five percent

Item 10.2 – CC / LRA 07/22/2025
(5%) per year. The adjustment shall become effective on the anniversary of the Effective Date and be based on the previous twelve-month index analysis from May to April.

As reflected in Attachment 3, the Consumer Price Index for May 2024 to April 2025 is calculated at 1.3%. Therefore a 1.3% increase is being recommended. The agreement states rates to be effective on the anniversary contract. Unfortunately, because staff was not prepared to present the item to the City Council in June, therefore we cannot implement the rates starting July 1st. Staff proposes that the rates take effect on September 1, 2025, aligning with the billing cycle.

RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL / LOCAL REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
AGENDA ITEM NO.11.1
SECTION 11: NEW BUSINESS
Meeting Date: July 22, 2025
Subject: Direction on the Proposed Use of the Interim/Permanent Supportive Housing Funds Provided by Senator Eggman
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council provide direction to staff regarding the use of the funds granted to the City by Senator Eggman as part of the 2021-2022 State of California Budget bill.

SUMMARY
On September 24, 2024 the Riverbank City Council provided direction to reallocate the use of the Stanislaus & Jackson property from transitional/Permanent Supportive housing to a park. The original housing project had included a commitment of City funds that were awarded by Senator Eggman. On January 28th, the City Council provided direction to allocate the funds towards a new project proposed by Central Valley Community Resources, Inc. On April 28th the City received notification that the project would not be moving forward therefore we are bringing back this item to Council for direction.

BACKGROUND
On June 26, 2023, the City of Riverbank released a Request for Proposal (RFP) for development of a tiny home village located on city-owned property. The purpose of the RFP was to fulfill a part of the City of Riverbank’s Strategic Plan to partner with non-profit partners to develop programs/solutions for homeless services. As part of this RFP, the City was committing both the location and the following city funds:
• Permanent Local Housing Allocation Funds
• State of California Direct Allocation from Senator Eggman With the City no longer moving forward with the original intent of the project proposed as part of the Request for Proposals, staff is requesting direction on the future use of the funds from Senator Eggman.

Item11.1 – CC/LRA – 07/22/2025

OPTIONS
Staff has developed several options for the proposed use of the funds:

1. Locate vacant land to purchase within the city limits and subsequently issue a Request for Proposal from interested affordable housing developers for the construction of interim/permanent supportive housing.

This was the process undertaken by the City for the purchase of the Stanislaus/Jackson property in April 2022. As reflected in the staff report at that time “the intent of the purchase of the Jackson & Stanislaus properties is to allow the City to implement Phase II of its Strategic Plan Objective to assist our homeless population. The property will allow the City to develop a tiny home village which will provide transitional housing, at low cost, to our residents as they continue to move through the program with Cambridge Academies. This plan, as well as other potential uses of the property, will be discussed further with the City Council once the purchase is finalized.”

2. Issue a Notice of Funding Availability to affordable housing developers for the funding to be used for the construction and/or operations of an interim/permanent supportive housing project within the city limits. Project would be required to adhere to an Affordability period of no less than 55 years.

This option would allow any housing developer in the city to have an opportunity to use grant funds for the construction or operations of an affordable rental project.

There are several proposed developments within the city which may be interested in applying in order to move their project forward. A Request for Proposals would be issued and submittals would be evaluated by a committee to select the most viable project.

3. City to use the funds to continue the operations of the Sierra House and the Day Use Facility.

The Fiscal Year 2025-2026 operations budget for the Sierra House is estimated at $350,000 (Exhibit A). This does not include the funding of utilities, such as electric, water, sewer, and garbage. Grant funding is no longer available to subsidize these costs, therefore the General Fund will be required to provide funding to continue this program. The City will be seeking approval from the State of California to reallocate 60% of the 2021, 2022, and 2023 PLHA grant funding to this project.

Allocating the entire balance of funds for operations of the Sierra House will provide sufficient funding for approximately 5 years.

4. Any combination of options 1-3.

Item11.1 – CC/LRA – 07/22/2025
The City Council has the discretion of allocating funds amongst one or all of the options shown above. In addition, Council may have the option of selecting a preferred option and a secondary option if the preferred option proves to be infeasible.

STRATEGIC PLAN
This item is directly related to the City’s Strategic Plan Objective to “Foster Attainable Housing.”

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact associated with this report. Based on City Council direction, staff will return with an agenda item to formally allocate the funds.

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference

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 Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode 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 work.

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, and 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, and
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 memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

1. Background Information
Refreshing Our City Flag: A Community-Driven Initiative

1. Background on the Current City Flag
• Origin: Designed in 2002 by a label pin company in Las Vegas, Nevada. • Visibility: Not prominently displayed or listed on the city’s official website. • Limited Use: Rarely flown by residents or businesses, indicating a lack of resonance with the community.
• Missing Information: No clear historical context—such as adoption date, designer’s intent, or symbolic meaning—is publicly available.

2. Why a Redesign is Needed
• Symbol of Identity: A city flag should reflect shared values, pride, and identity. • Design Standards: Effective flags are simple, meaningful, and distinctive. • Underutilized: The current flag doesn’t inspire widespread use or recognition. • Modern Relevance: A new design can align with our evolving community and modern design principles.

3. Benefits of a Flag Refresh
• Civic Pride: A strong, well-loved flag can become a symbol embraced by residents, much like the flags of Chicago or Washington, D.C.
• Cultural Representation: A redesign allows us to reflect our city’s history, diversity, and aspirations.
• Economic Potential: Iconic flags can generate revenue through tourism and branded merchandise (e.g., Portland’s flag).
• Community Connection: Involving residents in the process fosters ownership and unity. • Legacy and Modernization: Balances respect for the past with a vision for the future.

4. Proposed Redesign Process
• Public Design Contest: Invite submissions from residents of all ages to ensure inclusivity and creativity.
• Ceremonial Adoption: Unveil the new flag in a public celebration, such as a plaza event.

ATTACHMENT 1
• Budget Considerations: Minimal costs for promotion, materials, and a small winner’s prize.
• Preserving Tradition: Archive the current flag in city records and museums to honor its place in our history.

1. Background Information
Proposal: Riverbank's Adopt-a-Spot Program
To: City of Riverbank Leadership
From: Cynthia Prieto-Diaz, Public Health Analyst and Civic Scientist Date: June 11, 2025
I. Executive Summary
I propose establishing a vibrant "Adopt-a-Spot" program for the City of Riverbank. This initiative will empower residents, businesses, and community organizations to take direct ownership of maintaining our public spaces, significantly reducing litter (especially toxic tobacco product waste), enhancing beautification, and fostering immense community pride. By leveraging volunteer power, Riverbank can become an even cleaner, more attractive city, supporting our Public Works Department and boosting our overall economic vitality.

II. Program Overview: "Riverbank's Adopt-a-Spot"
The "Adopt-a-Spot" program invites individuals, families, businesses, and community groups to commit to regular cleanups and light maintenance of designated public areas within Riverbank. • Purpose: To create a cleaner, more beautiful Riverbank by directly engaging the community in litter prevention and abatement, with a specific focus on mitigating tobacco product waste at key locations like bus stops and the smoke-free parks.
• Goals:
o Reduce visible litter, particularly cigarette butts and vape waste, in adopted areas. o Enhance the aesthetic appeal and safety of Riverbank's public spaces. o Foster a stronger sense of community ownership and civic responsibility. o Support the efforts of the Public Works Department by reducing their reactive cleanup burden. • What Can Be Adopted: Public parks, specific bus stops (e.g., along Route 60 on Patterson Road), street segments, public trails, and common areas.
• Commitment: Adopting groups would commit to a minimum 1–2-year agreement, performing cleanups on a regular schedule (e.g., quarterly or bi-monthly).

III. Benefits for the City of Riverbank
Implementing an Adopt-a-Spot program offers a multitude of benefits, aligning directly with Riverbank's goals for community well-being and economic growth:
• Cleaner Communities: Directly reduces litter accumulation, including toxic cigarette butts and vape waste, making our city more inviting.
• Enhanced Public Health: Less litter means reduced exposure to environmental toxins and improved overall public health, especially for children and those using public spaces.

ATTACHMENT 1
III. Benefits for the City of Riverbank (Continued)
• Economic Development Catalyst: A visibly clean city is more attractive to new businesses, residents, and visitors, potentially boosting property values and local commerce. • Strengthened Community Engagement: Provides a tangible way for residents to contribute, fostering civic pride and strengthening neighborhood bonds.
• Optimized Public Works Resources: By leveraging volunteer efforts, city staff can dedicate more time and resources to other critical infrastructure and maintenance needs, rather than routine litter pickup.

Other cities have seen significant savings from volunteer hours (example, Durham, NC, estimated over $37,000 saved annually in volunteer time through their Adopt-a-Street program).

IV. Associated Risks & Mitigation Strategies
While highly beneficial, it's important to acknowledge and plan for potential challenges:
• Volunteer Safety:
o Risk: Injuries during cleanups (e.g., from sharp objects, traffic), exposure to hazardous waste. o Mitigation: Mandatory safety orientations, provision of essential safety gear (gloves, highvisibility vests, litter grabbers), clear guidelines (e.g., avoid roadways, proper hazardous waste reporting), and potentially volunteer waivers.
• Program Management & Oversight:
o Risk: Inconsistent volunteer participation, administrative burden on city staff for coordination and tracking.
o Mitigation: Clear adoption agreements, regular communication channels, simple online reporting tools for volunteer hours and collected litter, and designating a part-time program coordinator or a consultant.
• Litter Accumulation Between Cleanups:
o Risk: Adopted areas may still accumulate litter, leading to frustration. o Mitigation: Encourage more frequent cleanups by groups, strategic placement of dedicated tobacco waste receptacles (as previously proposed), and ongoing public awareness campaigns about responsible disposal.
• Liability Concerns:
o Risk: City liability for volunteer accidents.
o Mitigation: Comprehensive volunteer waivers, clear safety protocols, and potentially requiring groups undertaking more extensive activities (beyond simple litter pickup) to provide proof of insurance.

V. Estimated Costs to the City of Riverbank
The initial investment in the City of Riverbank to establish and support an Adopt-a-Spot program is modest compared to the long-term benefits:
• Program Coordination:
o Cost: Potentially a portion of an existing staff member's time or a dedicated part-time coordinator. (Example: Durham, NC, allocated approximately $7,600 annually for staffing their Adopt-a-Street program).
• Supplies:
o Cost: Initial bulk purchase of gloves, trash bags, safety vests, and litter grabbers, followed by annual replenishment.
• Signage:
o Cost: Production and installation of "Adopted By" signs at each adopted location. (Example:

Durham, NC, estimated signage costs at approximately $6,300 annually for 7 signs). • Waste Disposal:
o Cost: Coordination with city waste management for collected litter. This may be absorbed into existing services or require specific arrangements for larger cleanup events. • Administrative/Technology:
o Cost: Development and/or utilization of a simple online application and reporting system. (Likely low cost if existing city platforms are leveraged – Request Tracker).

VI. Opportunities for Revenue & Partnerships
The Adopt-a-Spot program presents exciting opportunities for financial and in-kind support from the Riverbank community:
• Local Business Sponsorships:
o Prominent Recognition: Offer attractive signage at adopted spots, displaying the sponsoring business's name or logo, providing valuable public recognition for their community commitment. o Tiered Sponsorships: Create different levels of sponsorship (e.g., Bronze, Silver, Gold) with varying financial contributions and corresponding levels of recognition. o Corporate Volunteer Days: Encourage local businesses to "adopt" a spot as a team-building exercise, potentially providing both volunteer labor and financial and/or in-kind donations of supplies.

VI. Opportunities for Revenue & Partnerships (Continued) • Community Organization Endorsements & Participation:
o Partner with local non-profits, civic groups, schools, faith-based organizations, and neighborhood associations to adopt spots. Their volunteer time represents a significant in-kind contribution to the city.
• Grant Funding:
o Actively seek grants from environmental foundations, public health initiatives (especially those focused on tobacco control and waste reduction), and community improvement programs. • "Buy-a-Spot" Option (Carefully Considered):
o For individuals or businesses unable to commit volunteer time, a financial contribution could fund a professional cleanup crew for a specific spot, with appropriate recognition. (Example: Keep Riverside Clean & Beautiful offers a $600 annual sponsorship option for street cleanups).

VII. Call to Action
I believe establishing a formal "Adopt-a-Spot" program is a proactive, cost-effective, and highly beneficial step for the City of Riverbank. It aligns perfectly with our shared vision for a cleaner, healthier, and more engaged community. I respectfully request the City of Riverbank leadership to consider establishing this program and I look forward to partnering with you to make it a success. _______________________Intentionally Left Blank_____________________
