AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.1
SECTION 7: PRESENTATIONS
Meeting Date: December 09, 2025
Subject: Presentation- California Health Collaborative- Tabacco Prevention Efforts in Riverbank
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Gabriela Hernandez, CMC, City Clerk

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council receive a presentation from David Cisneros - Program Coordinator and Jorge Yepez - Community Engagement Coordinator with California Health Collaborative, on a project focused in Riverbank called Compromiso Adelante – Tabacco Prevention.

SUMMARY
The California Health Collaborative (Collaborative) is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization committed to enhancing the quality of life and health of the people of California, particularly the underserved and underrepresented. Founded in 1982 and headquartered in Fresno, California, the Collaborative has multiple offices throughout California including Hanford, Visalia, San Bernardino, and Sacramento serving residents throughout the state. From health education and nutrition to prevention, mental wellness, and family support, California Health Collaborative programs are designed to help individuals and communities thrive.

Compromiso Adelante means “engagement ahead” and is a tobacco control program located in Stanislaus County. Like many rural central valley counties, the smoking rate in Stanislaus County is higher than the state rate, 15.5 vs 6.7 percent and tobacco-related diseases take a larger toll in Stanislaus County than elsewhere in the state. The Latino population accounts for 48 percent and is the largest ethnic group in the county.

Statewide, adult smoking prevalence rates are somewhat lower among Latinos than among non-Hispanic Whites, however in Stanislaus County Latino’s have the highest smoking rate of all ethnic groups in the county.

• No meetings for December for the Riverbank Historical Society or the Riverbank Women's Group.
• On December 6, the Riverbank Women's Group and Soroptimists Group, will be having a holiday lunch at the Community Center December 6, 2025 from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm. If you'd like to purchase tickets or want to do a table, please contact me.
• I just want to say happy Thanksgiving to everybody. I hope you have safe travels and be safe when you're out there traveling. There's going to be a lot of people on the road. So, have a great Thanksgiving.

Councilmember Uribe:

Page 8 of 11 ends

CC / LRA Minutes – 11/25/2025
• Thank you, Marisela, for sharing the information on the City Flag submission. So, my comment is going to be short as well.
• Happy Thanksgiving to everybody. Black Friday, I know the deals are going to be out there. Everyone's going to be shopping at all the big stores, but don't forget to shop local. Support those mom and pops here locally all that gets reinvested into our community. So, support try to do both if you can. So happy holidays.

Councilmember Pimentel:
• On the 20th Community Praise Tabernacle, along with the assistance from Love Riverbank hosted a Community dinner. They fed almost 400 people. It was a great turnout. I want to thank the Mayor and Councilmember Uribe, for showing up and supporting. It was a great chance for the community to come together and just to have a nice hot meal. So, it was a good turnout. • Also, on December 6th, Community Closet will be at St. Frances of Rome Church. If you have donations, you can drop them off or reach out to me or if you would like to be a part of helping them, reach out to Mary Lou at St. Frances of Rome Church.
• I also want to say the roads are very busy, so stay safe and everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Councilmember Call:
• A couple weeks ago, I attended the Stanislaus Homeless Alliance, where I was able to share our day use facility shower statistics, so I just wanted to share those for the month of October. In October, we provided 269 showers and 235 meals to those in need. Then I also wanted to let you all know that Donny is leaving for those who may or may not know. So, Sierra House is seeking another Program Manager.
• During the Homeless Alliance meeting, we discussed attainable housing, which is a little bit different than affordable housing. It's actually a lot bit different, but it is more for those who have really amazing jobs they just can't afford a house because housing is so expensive. So, it's hitting that $200 to $350,000 home mark. So, there's a new project going in in Patterson. So, I'm hoping to share that information with both Josh and Marisela to see how we could possibly visit that in our city.
• I went to the Office of Emergency Services, Stanislaus County Disaster Council, where they reviewed a West Side evacuation plan for those unfamiliar with that area, that is the Diablo Grande area, who had the wildfires recently. There really is only one way in and one way out. There is another road that goes into Santa Clara County, but it is really challenging for those when there is an emergency.

So, we are able to review that plan.
• And then just a reminder that respiratory virus season is upon us. So, if you are sick, please stay home. Please do not kill children that are not yours. • I also did my Future in Focus tours at Aemetis where Assemblyman Juan Alanis’s office and five other constituents were there. It is absolutely incredible

Page 9 of 11 ends

CC / LRA Minutes – 11/25/2025
when you tour that Industrial Complex, because the first time you are just overwhelmed because of the rich history within that complex, as well as all of the sustainable manufacturing there. The second time you go things start sounding a little more familiar and you are like, okay, I remember that. But the third time, once you really get to see and hear, you're starting to really grasp the things that are happening there and the plans that Aemetis has for that property. So, if you haven't toured the facility, I encourage you to reach out to one of your Councilmembers to get a tour of the facility to hear about not only the rich history, but to see the sustainable manufacturing happening there. There's an incredible amount of flat screen TVs coming into that facility and with machines and whatever else they are using, they're able to separate the circuit boards from the plastic, from the glass and really filter it out and then melt those items eventually.

They are working on, that's the next phase of their project. So really cool. I encourage it.
• At Comedy for a Cause we were able to raise over $2,600 for Riverbank Police Services Shop with a Cop program. So, I wanted to thank Councilmember Uribe, Councilmember Pimentel, and Sister Cities many of my constituents showed up.

Michael Christie and Stanislaus Latino Chamber, they actually came they roll deep they had 20 people there to support the cause so that was really exciting. • And then lastly, it's getting cold bring your pets inside or give them somewhere warm to sleep outside. And then for those who are seeking a warming center, our Community Center at 3600 Santa Fe Street is a warming center during the senior event time that's Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm and Friday 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. So, I encourage you, if your heaters aren't working to go to the Community Center, warm up a little bit and then bear the cold a little bit.

Item 12.3 Mayor/Chair
Mayor Hernandez:
• One last shout out for the night to our Veterans and American Veterans First for a successful open house and ribbon cutting and then a subsequent resource fair.

I know all of us are committed to the ongoing support for American Veterans First, and this statistic that we're throwing out that that Riverbank houses the highest per capita veterans in the County. And so that's something that we're looking to continue to support.
• The Youth Council is continuing to meet and I would say they are figuring it out.

They are figuring out how to communicate with each other, how to communicate with staff, and how to work best together. So, it's a work in progress. But I'm really proud of the work that they are doing.
• StanCOG, we have the Interim Executive Director that is subtly now in probably week two, but is doing great work and assessing gaps and helping build the morale back with the staff there.

Page 10 of 11 ends

CC / LRA Minutes – 11/25/2025
• I am on the Board of Directors of the Boys and Girls Club, and we recently had a Strategic Planning meeting and hoping to bring their services and a few of us have had conversations to Riverbank
• On my Meet the Mayor, if you didn't see me I was dressed up as a character from a popular Netflix movie, and I had a woman approach me on Halloween, interested in doing a girls’ basketball pilot program to train the girls here in Riverbank to allow them to be more competitive and to get some expert knowledge in the sport? And, I mean, we turned it around in maybe a week. And yesterday 40 girls attended the pilot program, and today 50 girls attended the pilot program. All middle school ages. They are super excited to continue this program. So, we're going to be doing a little bit of a presentation with the school board to kind of pitch them the idea of supporting the program on an ongoing basis.
• Finally, I want to say, in the spirit of the holiday, I'm thankful for this Council and how everyone has stepped up in their passion projects in the community, because it's amazing to see all the effort in the community. I am thankful for the Staff and I'm thankful for all the Residents and though we have differing opinions, I think that's what makes this really robust and more fulfilling to do so I appreciate you all.

[
Dear Ms. Hernandez:

I just had an opportunity to review tonight’s City Council agenda and would like to comment on it.

I am pleased to see you are awarding a feasibility study for the Waste Water Treatment plant. There are several recommendations that could come out of this. Of course you could have a stage 3 plant, but the most cost effective could be a stage 2, continue with the current plant(plus some upgrades, particularly the funding of a pipe under the river to carry waste flow) or the Modesto alternative.

What I was shocked to read was awarding contracts on items 11-3 and 11-4. Basically awarding over $300,000 to continue planning the stage 3 sewer plant. Talk about the cart before the horse.

I believe that those two items must be postponed until the feasibility study is completed and direction from that study is approved.

Thank you for your consideration of my request.

Sincerely,
Rich Holmer

Item 9.4 – CC-LRA 12/09/2025

RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL / LOCAL REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.4
SECTION 9: CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: December 09,2025
Subject: Resolution Adopting by Reference Fair Political Practices Commission Title 2, Division 6, California Code Sections 18730 and 18730.1; the 2025 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, CMC, City Clerk

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution to amend and update the City’s Conflict of Interest Code.

SUMMARY
The Political Reform Act (Government Code Sections 81000–91014) requires certain local officials and employees to disclose personal financial interests and to recuse themselves from decisions that could affect those interests. The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) administers these requirements and prescribes the use of the Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700).

Local agencies must maintain an updated Conflict of Interest Code that identifies designated positions required to file Form 700 and assigns the appropriate disclosure categories. The Code must be reviewed biennially and updated as needed to reflect organizational changes, new or revised positions, and changes in state law.

A review of the City’s current Code identified several positions that should be added to ensure continued compliance, as well as one obsolete position to be removed.

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.

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:

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.

(C) Contents of Annual Statements.

(C) Nothing in this section shall exempt any person from any other provisions of Title 9 of the Government Code.

12 No designated employee shall make, participate in making, or in any way attempt to use the employee's official position to influence the making of any governmental decision which the employee knows or has reason to know will have a reasonably foreseeable material financial effect, distinguishable from its effect on the public generally, on the official or a member of the official's immediate family or on:
(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 $630 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. 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. 13 (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. (12) Section 12. Violations.

This code has the force and effect of law. Designated employees violating any provision of this code are subject to the administrative, criminal and civil sanctions provided in the 14 Political Reform Act, Sections 8100091014. 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. [FN1]
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. [FN2]
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. [FN3]
For the purpose of disclosure only (not disqualification), an interest in real property does not include the principal residence of the filer.
[FN4]
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 15 dependent children own, in the aggregate, a direct, indirect or beneficial interest of 10 percent or greater.
[FN5]
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. [FN6]
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.

SECTION 9: CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: December 9th, 2025
Subject: Resolution Approving of Change Order #2 by JB Anderson Land Use Planning and Proposal by MCR Engineering for Services Related to the Jacob Myers Park Trail Expansion Project.

From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Michael Patton, Parks and Recreation Director

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider adopting a resolution approving Changer Order #2 with JB Anderson Land Use Planning in the amount of $19,200.00 and the proposal provided by MCR Engineering in the amount of $23,000.00 for services related to the completion of the California Environmental Quality Act review processes for the Jacob Myers Park Trail Expansion project.

SUMMARY
In 2023, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement with J.B. Anderson Land Use Planning to prepare the necessary California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance documents and to support the development of environmental clearance documents required under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This agreement also includes the preparation of a Biological Assessment by Moore Biological Consultants, Inc., and a Cultural Study by Peak & Associates, Inc.

The Jacob Myers Park Trail Expansion Project proposes to extend the existing bicycle and pedestrian path along the Stanislaus River, enhancing recreational opportunities for park visitors. The project includes construction of a permanent 6-foot-wide recycled base rock multi-use trail loop located west of the existing developed area of Jacob Myers Park.

The proposed trail would be approximately 6,278 linear feet in length (a 1.18-mile loop).

It would begin at the western end of the current paved multi-use path near the Dog Park, traverse west through the Stanislaus River riparian corridor toward the western boundary of the Wastewater Treatment Plant, then turn south and east to reconnect just south of

Item 9.5 – CC/LRA 12/09/2025
the Dog Park. The Vicinity Map below identifies the approximate alignment of the proposed trail loop.

Vicinity Map
To date, significant progress has been made on the required environmental documentation and coordination efforts with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Stanislaus River Parks), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) regarding the San Joaquin County MultiSpecies Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP) and associated Endangered Species Act consultation.

Additional costs are anticipated to complete the CEQA compliance requirements. These costs include:
● Moore Biological Consultants, Inc. has submitted Change Order Request No. 2 in the amount of $19,200.00 to complete the Biological Assessment. ● MCR Engineering will need to prepare a topographical survey, aerial mapping, and coordination with Moore Biological Consultants, Inc. for Section 7 consultation. MCR Engineering submitted a proposal for this work totaling $23,000.00.

At the November 25, 2025 City Council meeting, the City Council directed staff to proceed with approving the change order from Moore Biological Consultants, Inc. through J.B.

Anderson Land Use Planning, the project’s prime contractor. The Council also directed staff to approve the proposal submitted by MCR Engineering for their portion of the work.

Item 9.5 – CC/LRA 12/09/2025

BACKGROUND
In 2023, the City’s Parks and Recreation Department identified an opportunity to expand the existing Jacob Myers Park Trail further to the west along the Stanislaus River. The concept was to provide a recreational multi-use trail with minimal improvements (e.g., recycled base rock where soil stability is needed) that could be used as a meandering path through the Stanislaus River riparian habitat.

The Project site is located on property owned by the ACOE and managed by the Stanislaus River Parks. In contrast, Jacob Myers Park property is owned and managed by the City of Riverbank. The Project site is located along the Stanislaus River, in an area classified as undisturbed riparian habitat consisting of elderberry shrubs, valley oak trees, and other vegetation commonly found along the Stanislaus River in the Central Valley.

A series of field visits were conducted in 2023 (June 29, 2023 and September 8, 2023) to; 1) map the proposed trail alignment as previously flagged by the City’s Parks and Recreation Department; and 2) conduct the first series of site visits for preparation of the Biological Assessment and Cultural Study.

Representatives from Moore Biological Consultants, Inc. and Peak & Associates, Inc. were present at the field visit. Additionally, a representative from the Friends of Jacob Myers Park was present at the September 8, 2023 field visit.

During the site visits, staff noted the amount of Elderberry Shrubs on the site and the need to align the trail to avoid these shrubs to avoid costly mitigation. Specifically, the Elderberry Shrub is home to the Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle, a federally protected, threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. Moore Biological Consultants, Inc. conducted further site visits to identify and map the Elderberry Shrubs in the area. A total of 39 Elderberry Shrubs were identified in close proximity to the trail alignment (from 10 feet to 54 feet in distance to the proposed alignment).

Item 9.5 – CC/LRA 12/09/2025
Over the past two (2) years, Staff has held several meetings with ACOE, Stanislaus River Parks, USFWS, and SJCOG to determine the following:

1. Whether the Project site would be eligible for participation in the SJCOG Habitat Plan; and

2. If the Project site cannot participate in the SJCOG Habitat Plan, then define the Survey Scope and Methodology for the required Section 7 Consultation with the USFWS as required by the Endangered Species Act.

The key purpose of the SJCOG Habitat Plan is to provide a strategy for providing for a long-term management of plant, fish, and wildlife species, especially those that are currently listed, or may be listed in the future, under the Federal Endangered Species Act, or the California Endangered Species Act.

Other key purposes include preserving open space, landowner rights, maintaining multiple-use open spaces which contribute to the quality of life of the residents of San Joaquin County, and accommodating population growth.

Because the Project site is located within San Joaquin County, Staff identified an opportunity to participate in the SJCOG Habitat Plan, which would provide coverage (e.g., Incidental Take) and buffer reductions for selected species (e.g., Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle and the Western Pond Turtle). However, after many discussions and meetings with representatives from SJCOG, USFWS, and ACOE, it was determined that the Project site is ineligible to participate in the SJCOG Habitat Plan due to the site being owned by a federal agency (ACOE). As such, the ACOE is required to complete a Section 7 Consultation with USFWS as required by the Endangered Species Act. A full timeline

At this time, City staff is prepared to move forward with the next steps in preparation of the CEQA compliance document and coordination with ACOE on preparation of the NEPA compliance document. Specifically, the next steps for completing the environmental review for the Project include:
● Moore Biological Consultants, Inc. to complete the Biological Assessment pursuant to federal standards to support the ACOE NEPA review and the City’s CEQA review. This will require additional field work using the agreed upon survey boundary and survey parameters discussed at the September 25, 2025 meeting.

Complete the Section 7 consultation with USFWS with a “May Effect, but Not Likely to Adversely Affect” (NLAA) with property conservation/mitigation measures. ● MCR Engineering (City Engineer) to prepare Topographical Survey and Aerial Survey of the Property for support of the Biological Assessment and the Section 7 consultation. These documents will also be used in the CEQA review. ● Peak & Associates, Inc. to complete Cultural Study, including Section 6 consultation with SHPO, including tribal notifications. ● J.B. Anderson Land Use Planning to complete the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) and coordinate with ACOE on NEPA review/documentation. ● The IS/MND is published for a 30-day public review period, published with the County Clerk, newspaper and the State Clearinghouse.
● Following the 30-day public review period, the IS/MND is finalized and a Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program (MMRP) is prepared.
● City Council approves the IS/MND and a Notice a Determination is filed with the County Clerk and the State Clearinghouse.

Additional costs are anticipated to complete the steps above. Specifically, additional work is required of Moore Biological Consultants, Inc. and MCR Engineering as follows:
● Moore Biological Consultants, Inc. submitted a Change Order Request (#2) to the City in the amount of $19,200.00 to complete the Biological Assessment. ● As noted above, MCR Engineering would need to complete a Topographical Survey, Aerial Maps and coordinate with Moore Biological Consultants, Inc. on the Section 7 consultation. MCR Engineering submitted a proposal for this work for $23,000.00.

J.B. Anderson Land Use Planning is under contract to prepare the Project IS/MND with a contract amount of $39,894.00. As such, the projected total cost to complete the steps outlined above, including environmental review and survey work is $85,594.00.

It is also anticipated that, following City Council approval, the City would move to the next steps including permitting with the Central Valley Flood Protection Board (CVFPB).

Construction drawings would also need to be prepared for the construction of the proposed trail which would result in additional costs.

To date, a total of $33,628.90 has been spent thus far and included work by J.B. Anderson Land Use Planning, Moore Biological Consultants, Inc., and Peak & Associates, Inc. (field work, preparation of the Project Description, IS/MND, and coordination with federal and SJCOG agencies).

Item 9.5 – CC/LRA 12/09/2025
At the November 25, 2025 City Council meeting, the City Council directed staff to proceed with approving the change order from Moore Biological Consultants, Inc. through J.B.

Anderson Land Use Planning, the project’s prime contractor. The Council also directed staff to approve the proposal submitted by MCR Engineering for their portion of the work.

STRATEGIC PLAN
In 2025, the City Council established the 2025 – 2030 City Council Strategic Plan. The City Council established the Infrastructure Goal with the Strategy to Modernize Recreation Facilities and Improve Americans with Disabilities Access and to Expand NonMotorized Transportation Options.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
In the October 8th, 2024 meeting, City Council voted to approve a resolution authorizing an amendment to the American Rescue Plan Act Spending Plan. In the plan, the City Council approved $101,500 of ARPA funding to go towards the planning, design, and construction of the trail project. The city has a contract in the amount of $39,894.00 with JB Anderson to assist with the environmental clearances required for the project. That would leave $61,606.00 to go towards the remainder of the project.

With the two current proposals in the amount of $19,200 and $23,000, there would be $19,406 remaining in funds to continue with the project. The remaining funds will not be sufficient to complete the rest of the project and future funding will be required to complete. The remaining funds to finish the project will most likely come from either the general fund or grants.

SUBJECT: “JACOB MYERS PARK TRAIL EXPANSION PROJECT”,
RIVERBANK, CALIFORNIA: CHANGE ORDER REQUEST 2
Dear David:

As you are aware, we conducted some baseline work for this trail project in 2023.

Due to challenges with avoiding blue elderberry shrubs and the potential mitigation costs of working near shrubs, the environmental review of the project has been paused for now well over a year. After many meetings with the San Joaquin Council of Governments, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE, Stanislaus River Parks), and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the City finally has a clear path forward on how the inventory the blue elderberry shrubs and assess the impacts in a way that will facilitate the ACOE-USFWS consultation on federal species and not involve costly off-site mitigation.

This change order is for biology support through completion of a Biological Assessment (BA) to federal standards to support the ACOE National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review and the City’s California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review processes. The BA will be very similar in format and content to a nearby project (in Waterford) approved by the same key agencies (ACOE and USFWS). In the Waterford project, the trail along the Tuolumne River also meandered in between blue elderberry shrubs.

This change order is for 3 tasks. Task 1 is to conduct an updated field survey to document current biological conditions, with a focus of mapping the driplines of 10330 Twin Cities Road, Suite 30 • P.O. Box 822 • Galt, CA 95632 (209) 745–1159 • e-mail: [email protected]

AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.1
SECTION 10: PUBLIC HEARING
Meeting Date: December 09, 2025
Subject: Resolution Accepting the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Annual AB 1600 Report of System Development Fee Activity
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Beckie Robbins, Assistant Finance Director Tammy Alcantor, Assistant City Manager/Finance Director

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a Resolution accepting the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Annual AB 1600 Report of System Development Fee Activity.

SUMMARY
In compliance with California Government Code Sections 66001 and 66006, the City is required to publish an annual report to account for System Development Fees, also referred to as public facilities or development impact fees.

BACKGROUND
System Development Fees are designed to provide a fair basis for expanding capital facilities to support the demands of new development. For years, traditional infrastructure funding sources have been insufficient to maintain current systems, leaving limited resources to expand them for future growth. Development fees offer a method for new development to mitigate their cumulative impact on the City’s infrastructure by proportionately contributing fees according to their specific impact and size.

In 1987, AB 1600 was signed by the Governor, establishing specific requirements for local governments to impose, collect, and report on System Development Fees. These requirements took effect on January 1, 1989, and were later codified as Section 66001 of the California Government Code. Reporting requirements were subsequently codified under Section 66006, mandating that specific information be publicly available within 180 days after the close of each fiscal year:

1. Fee Descriptions: A brief description of each fee type.

2. Fee Amounts: The amount of the fee.

3. Account Balances: Beginning and ending balances of each account or fund.

Page 2 of 2 ends

Item 10.1 – CC/LRA 12/09/2025

4. Collections and Interest: The amount of fees collected, and interest earned.

5. Expenditures: Identification of public improvements funded, including the cost percentage covered by fees.

6. Construction Dates: Approximate dates for the commencement of public improvements, if sufficient funds have been collected for incomplete improvements.

7. Transfers and Loans: Description of any inter-fund transfers or loans, including interest and repayment details.

8. Refunds and Allocations: Details of refunds and allocations as required by Section 66001.

This information is presented in the attached FY 2024-25 Annual AB 1600 Report of System Development Fee Activity, which was made publicly available on the City’s website on November 20, 2025.

Inactive Accounts
The following funds are considered inactive as they no longer receive development fee revenue:

1. System Development Bridges/Roads Fund 140

2. System Development Overpasses Fund 145

3. System Development Railroad Crossing Fund 146

4. System Development Crossroads Streets/Public Works Fund 214

5. System Development Crossroads Storm Drainage Fund 217

6. System Development Crossroads Police & General Government Fund 219 Active Accounts
The active accounts being presented include:

1. System Development Streets/Public Works Fund 205

2. System Development Water Fund 206

3. System Development Waste Water Fund 207

4. System Development Storm Drainage Fund 208

5. System Development Parks & Recreation Fund 209

6. System Development Police & General Government Fund 210

STRATEGIC PLAN
This report supports the Strategic Plan goal to "Prioritize Financial Stability."

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval and acceptance of this report have no financial impact.

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
November 18, 2025
The Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council, and Residents of the City Riverbank City of Riverbank
Riverbank, CA 95367
Dear Mayor, Members of the City Council, and Residents of the City of Riverbank:

California Government Code requires reporting of the usage of Development Fees (also known as System Development Fees). Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of the State of California and Government Code Section 66006(b) and 66001(d), as amended by AB 518 and SB 1693, I hereby submit the Annual AB 1600 System Development Fee Report for the City of Riverbank, CA for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

Development Fees, otherwise known as System Development Fees (SDF), are a monetary exaction, other than a tax or special assessment, which is charged by a local governmental agency to an applicant in connection with approval of a development project. The purpose of these fees is to defray all or a portion of the cost of public facilities related to the development project. The legal requirements for enactment of a system development fee program are set forth in Government Code section’s 66000-66025 (the “Mitigation Fee Act”), the bulk of which was adopted as 1987’s Assembly Bill (AB) 1600 and those are commonly referred to as “AB 1600” requirements.

The System Development Fee program has been in effect in Riverbank since 1967. Riverbank Municipal Code §150.30, titled “System Development Fees”, establishes the authority for imposing and charging system development fees. §150.31 (b) of the Municipal Code states the following as reasons for adopting said fee:
1) To provide an adequate and constant method for the financing of the unfunded portion of needed systems development costs throughout the city, reasonably related to projected community growth. 2) To promote the orderly and efficient expansion of public improvements to adequately meet the domestic and economic needs of the community and to minimize adverse fiscal and environmental impacts of new development.
3) To insure the continuation of necessary services including, but not limited to, police and general administrative services.
4) To establish equitable methods for minimizing public facility and service costs to the city associated with new development.

CITY OF RIVERBANK FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 AB 1600
Fees are collected at the time a building permit is issued; unless a developer, through a development agreement, is allowed to defer payment until a certificate of occupancy is granted, for the purpose of mitigating the impacts caused by new development on certain public facilities. They are used to finance the acquisition, construction and improvement of public facilities needed as a result of this new development. A separate fund has been established to account for the impact of new development on each of the following types of public facilities: Streets/Public Works, Water, Waste Water, Storm Drainage, Parks/Recreation, and Police/General Government.

State law requires the City prepare and make available to the public an annual report for each fund established to account for System Development fees. The report must include the beginning and ending balances by system development type for the fiscal year as well as any changes. The report must also present the amount of fees, interest, and other income, expenditures and the amount of any required refunds made during the fiscal year.

The City Council must review the annual report at a regularly scheduled public meeting not less than fifteen days after the information is made available to the public. This report was filed with the City Clerk’s office and available for public review on November 19, 2025.

Respectfully submitted,

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
A. REQUIREMENTS FOR SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT FEES
State law (California Government Code Section 66006) requires each local agency that imposes AB 1600 system development fees to prepare an annual report providing specific information about those fees.

Within the AB 1600 legal requirements, it stipulates that fees imposed on new development have the proper nexus to any project on which they are imposed. In addition, AB 1600 imposes certain accounting and reporting requirements with respect to the fees collected. The fees, for accounting purposes, must be segregated from the general funds of the city and from other funds or accounts containing fees collected for other improvements. Interest on each development fee fund or account must be credited to that fund or account and used only for the purposes for which the fees were collected.

Current California Government Code Section 66006(b) requires that for each separate fund the local agency shall, within 180 days after the last day of each fiscal year, make available to the public the following information for the fiscal year:
• A brief description of the type of fee in the account or fund. • The amount of the fee.
• The beginning and ending balance of the account or fund. • The amount of the fees collected and interest earned. • An identification of each public improvement on which fees were expended and the amount of expenditures on each improvement, including the total percentage of the cost of the public improvement that was funded with fees.
• An identification of an approximate date by which the construction of the public improvement will commence if the local agency determines that sufficient funds have been collected to complete financing on an incomplete public improvement.
• A description of each inter-fund transfer or loan made from the account or fund, including the public improvement on which the transferred or loaned fees will be expended, and in the case of an inter-fund loan, the date on which the loan will be repaid and the rate of interest that the account or fund will receive on the loan.
• The amount of refunds made due to sufficient funds being collected to complete financing on incomplete public improvements, and the amount of reallocation of funds made due to administrative costs of refunding unexpended revenues exceeded the amount to be refunded.

CITY OF RIVERBANK FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 AB 1600

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
California Government Code Section 66001(d) requires the local agency make all of the following findings every fifth year with respect to that portion of the account remaining unexpended, whether committed or uncommitted:
• Identify the purpose to which the fee is to be put.
• Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it is charged. • Identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing on incomplete improvements.
• Designate the approximate dates on which the funding is expected to be deposited into the appropriate account or fund.
• In any action imposing a fee as a condition of approval of a development project by a local agency, the local agency shall determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed.

B. ADDITIONAL NOTES
The State of California Government Code Section 66002 requires local agencies that have developed a fee program to adopt a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) indicating the approximate location, size and timing of projects, plus an estimate for the cost of all facilities or improvements to be financed by fees. A formal CIP is recommended, at a minimum, as a five-year plan. The City annually produces a five-year CIP which helps to maintain and update the City’s General Plan. The CIP serves to identify situations where infrastructure is needed to accommodate the planned development.

The CIP relates the City’s annual capital expenditures to a long-range plan for public improvements. By relating the plan for public improvements to the City’s capacity for funding, and scheduling expenditures over a period of years, the CIP helps to maximize the funds available. This type of fiscal management is important during periods, such as the current one, that are typified by budgetary demands exceeding financial resources.

C. ESTABLISHING A REASONABLE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FEE AND THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS CHARGED The City of Riverbank’s current program, the City of Riverbank Nexus Fee Study, was adopted on March 24, 2015. The program sets forth the relationship between contemplated future development, the facilities needed to serve that development, and the estimated costs of those improvements based on the current General Plan for build-out. The City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects are financed in part by the capital improvement fees outlined in the System Development Fee (SDF) program. These capital improvements provide essential infrastructure to residents and businesses in Riverbank, ensuring that public facilities keep pace with ongoing development within and adjacent to the community. Estimated project costs, along with the summary of fee apportionment to each development fee category, are detailed within Section 4 of the Nexus Fee Study.

CITY OF RIVERBANK FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 AB 1600

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
The City is now preparing to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to update the city-wide SDF program. This comprehensive update will establish new fee categories, including an Infill Development Fee and a Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT)/Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Fee, to better align infrastructure funding with emerging mobility, sustainability, and land-use objectives.

Additionally, the updated program will integrate Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) principles into the City’s infrastructure funding framework, ensuring that future investments support equitable access to housing, transportation, and community amenities.

D. FUNDING OF INFRASTRUCTURE
The 2022-2027 CIP identifies all funding sources and amounts for individual projects through 2027.

The CIP is updated annually to reflect the current infrastructure & equipment needs of the City. As a CIP project is identified, the project is evaluated to determine the portion of the project that will service existing residents and businesses versus new development. Once the determination of use is made, the percentage of use attributable to new development is then funded by the appropriate development fee, based on the type of project. The percentage of use associated with existing residents or business are funded from other appropriate sources as identified on the CIP. All future planned infrastructure needs are outlined in the System Development Fee program. The funding and commencement dates for projects are adjusted, as needed, to reflect the needs of the community.

Item 11.1 – CC/LRA 12/09/2025

RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL / LOCAL REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.1
SECTION 11: NEW BUSINESS
Meeting Date: December 9, 2025
Subject: Receive Direction from City Council Regarding the Next Steps for Pest Control Services for City-Owned Facilities.

From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Michael Patton, Parks and Recreation Director

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council receive an update on the Request for Proposals for Pest Control Services for City-Owned facilities and provide direction to staff regarding the next steps.

SUMMARY
On September 25, 2025, the Parks and Recreation Department issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for pest control services for 14 City-owned facilities. The City’s current pest control vendor has been providing services without a formal agreement since 2021.

To update service specifications and establish a formal contract with a qualified vendor, the department initiated the RFP process.

Staff contacted five commercial pest control companies and invited them to review the RFP and submit proposals. A pre-bid meeting was held, during which only one company, Dewey Services, Inc., expressed interest. However, by the proposal deadline the City received zero submissions. Staff followed up with Dewey Services, Inc. to determine why a proposal was not submitted. The company explained that the RFP required prevailing wage, and the additional labor costs made the project financially unfeasible.

After consulting with the City Attorney, staff confirmed that pest control services are not subject to prevailing wage requirements and that the City may contract for these services without that condition. Staff relayed this clarification to Dewey Services, Inc., who then submitted a proposal.

Page 2 of 3 ends

Item 11.1 – CC/LRA 12/09/2025
The City currently pays $3,984.00 annually for pest control services, a rate established during the previous RFP in 2018. Dewey Services, Inc.’s new proposal is $10,590.00 annually, an increase of $6,606.00 compared to current costs.

Staff is seeking direction from the City Council on how to proceed. The following options are available:

1. Accept Dewey Services, Inc.’s proposal of $10,590.00 annually for a three-year contract.

2. Revise and reissue the RFP to remove the prevailing wage requirement and solicit additional proposals.

BACKGROUND
In 2018, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for pest control services for Cityowned facilities. Multiple proposals were received, and the most cost-effective bid came from Nortek Pest Control at $3,984.00 annually. The City entered into an agreement with Nortek with the understanding that another RFP would be conducted after three years.

However, the RFP process was never repeated, and Nortek continued providing services at the same annual rate without a new contract.

In 2025, while reviewing vendor agreements, staff discovered that the City no longer had a current, fully executed agreement with Nortek. Nortek also confirmed that no valid contract existed between the two parties. To secure an updated agreement and obtain current pricing—given that the existing rate dated back to 2018—staff began preparing a new RFP for pest control services.

The RFP was published on September 25, 2025, with proposals due November 6, 2025.

Staff contacted five local pest control companies, inviting them to review the RFP and submit proposals. A pre-bid meeting was held on October 24, 2025, during which only one company, Dewey Services, Inc., attended and expressed interest.

When the proposal deadline arrived, the City received zero submissions. Staff contacted Dewey Services, Inc. to understand why they chose not to submit a proposal. The company explained that the RFP required prevailing wage, and the additional administrative and labor costs made the project financially unfeasible. Staff then consulted the City Attorney, who confirmed that pest control services are not subject to prevailing wage requirements. Staff also asked whether the RFP needed to be reissued to remove that requirement. The City Attorney advised that because a full RFP process had already been completed, the City could proceed with obtaining a proposal directly.

Staff relayed this clarification to Dewey Services, Inc., and the company subsequently submitted a proposal.

Their proposal included an annual cost of $10,590.00, representing an increase of $6,606.00 compared to the City’s current annual cost of $3,984.00 for similar services.

Item 11.1 – CC/LRA 12/09/2025
Due to this significant cost difference, staff is seeking direction from the City Council on how to proceed. The following options are presented:

1. Accept Dewey Services, Inc.’s proposal of $10,590.00 annually for a three-year contract.

2. Revise and reissue the RFP to remove the prevailing wage requirement and solicit additional proposals.

If the City Council elects to accept the proposal, pest control services would begin January 1, 2026, under a three-year term. Acceptance would also require the City Council to approve an additional $6,606.00 annually in the budget for pest control services.

If the City Council chooses to reissue the RFP, staff will revise the document, remove the prevailing wage language, and contact additional pest control companies to encourage broader participation. However, reissuing the RFP may delay securing pest control services, leaving the City without service coverage during the interim period.

STRATEGIC PLAN
In the city’s recently updated Strategic Plan, the city has created a goal to ‘prioritize financial stability’. An outlined strategy for the goal is to ‘evaluate all contracts and partnerships for cost-effectiveness.’

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Of the two options provided by staff, there are financial impacts that can be made.

1. Accept Dewey Services, Inc.’s proposal of $10,590.00 annually for a threeyear contract. The City Council can accept this proposal of paying $10,590.00 annually for pest control services. That is $6,606.00 more than what the city is currently paying for services. The city would then need to allocate the difference from the General Fund to cover the difference annually.

2. Revise and reissue the RFP to remove the prevailing wage requirement and solicit additional proposals. The City Council can elect to go back out to bid with a new RFP process. Staff could engage directly with more commercial pest control services inviting them to submit a proposal. This may yield more proposals that may be more affordable. However, this may delay getting a contract in place for pest control services and will leave city-owned facilities without this service while this process is completed.

The MOU details the terms and conditions of employment for a three (3) year term of January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028.

BACKGROUND
The Riverbank Mid-Management Employees Association (“RMMEA”) is comprised of 20 employees which includes mid-management level supervisors and confidential employees.

The current MOU for the RMMEA is set to expire on December 31, 2025. In anticipation of its expiration, City representatives and the RMMEA began good-faith labor negotiations in July of 2025 for terms and conditions of a new MOU.

The City’s bargaining team strongly believes that the agreed upon Tentative Agreement is the most beneficial to both the City and its Mid-Management employees, given the current economic conditions.

At this time, the two parties are requesting the City Council consider the approval of the January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2028 MOU between the City of Riverbank and the Riverbank Mid-Management Employees Association.

All initial appointments to classes assigned a pay range in the City Compensation Plan shall be at the first step of the salary range, provided that the Chief Personnel Officer may make an appointment to a position at an appropriate higher salary step when in his/her opinion, it is difficult to obtain qualified personnel at the starting salary, or when the education or experience of a proposed employee is substantially superior to that required of the class and justifies a beginning salary in excess of the first step.

B. Promotion
Any employee receiving a promotion shall start on the first step of the salary range of the class to which he/she is promoted and be eligible for merit increases as elsewhere provided, unless his/her present salary level is equal to or exceeds the first step of the class to which he/she is promoted. In that event, the employee shall be assigned to the step in the salary range to which he/she is promoted that is the equivalent of at least a five percent (5%) increase in salary.

C. Transfer
A transfer does not affect an employee’s salary level.

D. Advancement Within Salary Range
An employee shall be considered for salary advancement in accordance with the time intervals established in the Employee Compensation Plan and the following provisions. 1) Automatic: Advancement to Step “B” in a salary range shall be automatic and effective on the first day of the payroll period following satisfactory completion of six (6) months of service.

Non-Standard Work Periods
Overtime for employees assigned to non-standard work periods and working hours as provided in §2.02 herein, shall be defined as follows:

Overtime shall be any time worked over 40 hours in a given workweek and any time worked in excess of eight (8) hours in a given day when 40 hours have been paid during the workweek.
