In a world that seemingly gets more and more divided every day, Love Our Neighbors believes in the power of bringing people together. With such busy lives, we often don't have time to simply stop and connect. To get to know those who live in our communities or even those who live right next door.
Love Our Neighbors seeks to equip and inspire people to host neighborhood gatherings with the goal of forming deeper connections and a sense of belonging among neighbors."

Item 11.2. Council/Authority Member
Vice Mayor Pimentel:
• The Sierra House is taking men's clothing donations. If you have a donation, it's 209-225- 1410.
• We also have several book exchange boxes throughout Riverbank. You can take a book and leave a book. If you would like to donate, please reach out to me. • February 11th through the 17th, Grand Asia will be celebrating the Chinese Lunar where some of the items and appetizers will be 50% off. Stop in and celebrate with them. • The 13th I will be at the Boot Barn ribbon cutting ceremony.
Councilmember Fosi:
• The Women's Group will be meeting on the 17th at 6 o'clock at Morris Nursery. • I would like to encourage my fellow Councilmembers to ask the City to look into the possibility of expanding or annexing additional property from Coffee and Clarentina over to the river. If you've seen the City of Modesto General Plan, you know what I am talking about.
Councilmember Uribe:
• Speaking of Modesto's General Plan, for those that have not taken a look at it, all the plans, they put out three alternative plans as to the growth that they are proposing. And either way that they go, their public comment period is going to be closing this Friday. They are going to be deciding by 2027. And whatever direction they go with, will impact the City of Riverbank.
I've been reaching out to the Modesto City Council just to kind of make sure there's a collaboration there. I met with Eric yesterday. I will be meeting with Chris Ricci on Monday.
The goal is for both cities to kind of continue to grow and plan for future development since it is going to impact both. I would like to kind of advocate on behalf of the City of Riverbank to hold a joint planning meeting or planning sessions to kind of coordinate land use infrastructure and all the long-term growth. That's all the strategies that they are discussing currently. And just kind of working together, and so that's what I'll be kind of advocating at the next meeting with Councilmember Chris Ricci. I know Mayor Hernandez is going to be meeting with Mayor Sue Zwahlen here shortly. We will keep you guys posted on those meetings.
Minutes – 2/10/2026
• I would like to announce that Councilmember Pimentel has been working hard at this as well. Riverbank Sister Cities did launch a student support fund. We had a successful September fundraiser. We were able to raise $2,500. And so, we are going to be helping five local seniors, you know, jump start their futures. We do have the flyers and all the requirements. Please reach out. The deadline for that is Tuesday, March 31st at 4:00p.m.
Councilmember Call:
• Last week I attended Project Resolve, and it was a little bit of a change of pace from what we're used to. So, there were partner community organizations in attendance, lots of youth organizations in empowering our youth. And I'm actually going to be reaching out to Michael Patton because I think there's some potential opportunity with those programs. And the overall consensus with some of these programs is a lot of overlap in the services that these organizations provide, but there's not a lot of awareness about the programs. And so we strategically came up with ideas on how we can get the word out more on some of these organizations. I'm really excited to see the work that Kate comes up with at Project Resolve.
She's phenomenal and makes sure that our community is aware of these organizations and that's where I think I come in and partnering with Parks and Rec and passing on information on to the City Manager. So, I'm looking forward to bringing some of those community organizations to present here at our Council meetings because I think that there's a lot of opportunity within our community for these books.
Item 11.3. Mayor/Chair
Mayor Hernandez:
• I attended the US Conference for Mayors and the sessions ranged from data centers to early childhood education and child care to public safety and housing. I mean having discussions with mayors from across the country. We are all a city tackling very similar issues. And so it was great to be able to be in those discussions and there are many ideas I want to bring forward, but just some of the overall themes were a lot of support from City to City. They mentioned and here I am quoting a few things because I thought it was best to do that. There are tensions and issues from federal to state governments and some of the overall sentiment was that city governments need to protect each other and support one another and so, there's a lot of support that way. Um time and time again, we're seeing that investing in people is the best contributor to reducing violence to increasing public safety, and including early child education and child care. Someone mentioned there that was a Mayor a dollar for dollar is the best economic driver and investment for cities. Generally there were many many discussions.
I mean, no matter what, the session was always devolved to safety and some of the immigration enforcement that has been happening, particularly on the East Coast. Lots of unknowns, I mean, but mainly a call to be proactive, to inform one another as a community and as elected officials. So, it was great and very cold there. The highest was 20 degrees there that week. So, I had my iced coffee and flats and was definitely not prepared for that. • StanCOG is moving forward. On Thursday we are doing final interviews in a closed session for a few hours to interview the executive director or, hopefully, what the executive director will be of the organization.
• Tomorrow I am excited. I've been asking this for a couple of years. We're going to do a bus tour of the different routes with StanRTA, and council member Call's going to join me. So, it'll be a few hours tomorrow. Well, we'll be able to take the bus ourselves along the routes and
Minutes – 2/10/2026
both of us, actually in our younger days, were bus riders when the Max bus was on the route that was called. So, it's going to be full circle.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.1.
SECTION : PUBLIC HEARING
Meeting Date: 2/24/2026
Subject: Resolution Approving the LRA Mid-Year Budget Adjustments 2025-2026 From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Melissa Holdaway, Administrative Analyst II Cody Bridgewater, Director of Public Works
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) Board of Directors (Board) review and approve the proposed Mid-Year LRA budget adjustment.
SUMMARY
The budget provides the necessary means to finance the Authority while navigating the transfer of the Riverbank Army Ammunition Plant to the City of Riverbank. At the end of 2025 there had been changes to the salary/fringe of the position held in the LRA that is currently funded by the General Fund. This is to include unfunded liability that was missed during the proposed budget adoption in May 2025 and the negotiated changes in salary and benefits. The change will increase the budget by Twenty seven thousand dollars ($27,000) or 15%. All other line items proposed will remain the same.
STRATEGIC PLAN
The presentation of the LRA's Mid-Year budget supports the City's mission and reinforces the City's core values of transparency and fiscal responsibility.
BACKGROUND
The LRA was formed in April 2006 with Federal approval as the agency responsible for decisions related to conveyance and reuse of the former Riverbank Army Ammunition Plant, now known as the Riverbank Industrial Complex. In April 2010, the LRA moved onto the property to perform protection and maintenance duties on behalf of the Army and to oversee economic development activities in the form of leasing available space to private tenants, as outlined in the community-led and supported Reuse Plan.
The site has been managed by the Master Developer and operates under a Lease Development Agreement since April 2022. The revenues are now collected by the Master Developer and no longer included in any LRA budget category.
The LRA is currently administering a second remediation project (ESCA#2) on behalf of the Army that began in FY 2015-16 with a grant in excess of $44 million. This project is close to 98% complete with additional modifications being looked at for funding new remedial activities at the site. If
Item 10.1. - CC/LRA – 2/24/2026
approved it will continue clean up efforts at the Riverbank Industrial Complex and includes some administrative support for the LRA.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Authority is requesting the assistance of the City of Riverbank General Fund to absorb the shortfall to support the redevelopment efforts, environmental remediation and transfer of the former Riverbank Army Ammunition Plant real property. An additional $27,000 in General Fund reserves is requested.

RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL / LRA BOARD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.2.
SECTION : PUBLIC HEARING
Meeting Date: 2/24/2026
Subject: Resolution Approving the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Mid-Year Budget Amendments
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Tammy Alcantor, Assistant City Manager
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider approval of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Mid-Year Budget Amendments.
SUMMARY
The Finance Department has performed a mid-year review of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget and is recommending the following: 1) budget amendments based on actual beginning reserve changes and, 2) amendments based on revenue and expenditure trends and department requests.
STRATEGIC PLAN
In June 2025, the City Council adopted a Strategic Plan goal to “Prioritize Financial Stability.” This report supports and aligns with that goal.
BACKGROUND
On June 24, 2025, the City Council adopted the FY 2025-26 Annual Operating Budget. This operating budget was prepared using estimates and projections on anticipated revenues and expenditures and was the result of the collaboration of all of the City’s departments. For the General Fund, the City Council approved a budget reflecting a structural deficit where expenditures were projected to exceed revenues by $2,211,995 and were projected to end with a reserve of 47%.
An important component of a mid-year budget evaluation is determining whether projections made during the preliminary budget adoption remain true as revenues are received and expenditures are incurred. In addition, new information that is received from Stanislaus County and/or the State of California is reviewed for its potential impact on the City’s budget, and amendments are requested accordingly.
The following is a major fund analysis of recommended adjustments to revenues and expenditures, highlighting those changes that are of significant impact to the budget. A detailed listing of all funds and accounts being adjusted is attached as Exhibit A.
General Fund (Fund 101)
Revenues
Item 10.2. - CC/LRA – 2/24/2026
The mid-year review of all General Fund revenues resulted in a recommended net increase of $104,525. The significant increases are proposed in Property Tax, Police Services, Plan Check Fees, and Interest income. Below are the significant adjustments being made to the revenue sources:
Account Adjustment Reasoning
Property Tax Revenues $4,750 Increase based on actual
assessed values.
Building Permits $14,125 Increase in revenue based on
current trends.
COPS/SLEA ($20,000) Decrease based on current
revenue trends
Planning & Zoning Fees $14,600 Increase based on current revenue trend.
Interest Income $69,750 Increase based on current
revenue trend.
Sale of Surplus Equipment $18,300 Increase based on current revenue trend.
Expenditures
Expenditure reviews consisted of evaluating all accounts to ensure that the original budget would be sufficient to meet anticipated expenditures through the end of the fiscal year. When evaluating accounts, Finance has taken into consideration new information affecting expenditures as well as spending trends. Any additional appropriations approved by the City Council or City Manager have been incorporated into the budget. This mid-year evaluation (review) has resulted in a recommended net increase in expenditures for the General Fund of $484,004.
Below is a listing of adjustments or staffing-related adjustments. Please see Exhibit A for additional recommended adjustments:
Departments Adjustment Reasoning
All Departments - Personnel Costs $121,361 Based on Labor Negotiations All Departments - Personnel Cost $72,432 Correction to personnel cost-allocation Additional Subsidy for LRA $27,000 Based on Labor Negotiations Building Maintenance $695 PT Staff
$3,527 Equipment purchases
Admin $47,000 Building Modifications (two workstations
& equipment)
Public Safety $44,000 Correction to Camera annual cost
Development Services Administration $91,276 Furniture, Carpet, Security for City Hall East
Item 10.2. - CC/LRA – 2/24/2026
Parks $2,400 Increase for Aerial Platform Certifications for staff
$7,277 Replace Pump Motor at Community Pool
Recreation $67,036 Increase General Fund Subsidy for
Recreation Programs
With the approved amendments, the General Fund is anticipated to end this fiscal year with a reserve of 43% or approximately $7.2 million. Mid-year adjustments net a decrease of $379,479.
The General Fund reserve as of June 30, 2026, will be as follows:
Beginning Reserve Amended 07/1/2025 $ 9,807,950
Amended Revenues $14,257,388
Amended Expenditures $16,881,303
Anticipated Ending Reserve 06/30/2026 $ 7,184,035
(43%)
Structural Deficit $2,623,915
General Fund Analysis
The City must remain mindful of the ongoing increase in expenditures, including the projected rise of nearly $2 million in the CalPERS Unfunded Liability in the future. To proactively address this obligation, the City has established a Section 115 Trust as of February 2026. This trust provides a dedicated funding mechanism to set aside resources for pension-related liabilities and helps smooth the impact of future rate fluctuations on the General Fund.
Additionally, with reduced funding for unsheltered services, the General Fund will continue to serve as the primary source of support for maintaining services at Sierra House.
While the General Fund reserve remains at a healthy level, staff recommends continued strategic planning for long-term obligations. This includes evaluating annual contributions to the 115 Trust, as well as considering the use of reserves to mitigate the impact of future expenditures such as economic downturns, unfunded liabilities, and capital improvement needs.
Gas Tax Fund (Fund 102)
The Gas Tax Fund is supported by various Highway User Taxes collected by the State of California through vehicle fuel purchases. These revenues are restricted to funding street and road maintenance, as well as related project expenses.
The State of California has provided revised revenue projections for the City’s Gas Tax revenues.
These updates reflect fluctuations in fuel prices and the annual inflationary adjustment applied to pergallon fuel excise taxes. As a result, the City will experience an increase of $103,715 in Gas Tax and SB1 funding for projects.
With the continued rise in the utilization of electric vehicles, Gas Tax revenues will continue to be unstable. At both the state and local levels, discussions are ongoing regarding potential strategies to recapture funding and ensure the ability to maintain roadway infrastructure.
Item 10.2. - CC/LRA – 2/24/2026
Gas Tax Fund expenditures continue to increase, supporting essential services such as street maintenance, repairs, street sweeping, and streetlight utilities. Due to rising costs and fluctuating revenues, the City will need to contribute additional funding to maintain current service levels for street maintenance. Mid-year expenditure adjustments reflect personnel cost increases related to labor negotiations, as well as necessary corrections.
The Gas Tax Fund reserve as of June 30, 2026, will be as follows:
Beginning Reserve Amended
07/1/2025
$515,630
Amended Revenues $1,894,774
Amended Expenditures $2,255,729
Anticipated Ending Reserve
06/30/2026
$154,675 (13%)
Gas Tax Fund Analysis
Operating expenses for this fund continue to exceed the Gas Tax Revenues received by the City. As a result, the City’s General Fund will need to subsidize approximately $441,731 this fiscal year to ensure that street maintenance remains at the highest possible level. To minimize the need for future subsidies, service evaluations will be conducted in the coming years.
It is important to note that reserve funds in the Gas Tax Fund account include balances from the SB1-Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account, which the State of California allocates to the City. The City Council approves the use of these funds through the annual SB1 Expenditure List.
Since revenues are collected in one fiscal year and projects are completed in another, it is normal for this fund to reflect a deficit.
Sewer Fund (Fund 106)
The Sewer Fund is a business-type account established to support the necessary maintenance and improvements of the sewer collection and treatment systems. Revenue is generated through user fees from residential, commercial, and industrial entities and is exclusively allocated to sewer-related expenses.
The projected beginning reserve for the Sewer Fund has been updated to $11,536,220. A significant portion of this reserve is earmarked for Sewer Collection system improvements planned for future years.
Sewer revenue projections for the current fiscal year have been increased by $1,518,470, reflecting a rise in sewer service charges. Sewer expenditures have also increased by $117,413, as a result of personnel cost increases related to labor negotiations and higher costs for the maintenance of equipment.
In summary, the Sewer Fund is anticipated to end as follows:
Beginning Reserve Amended 07/1/2025 $11,536,220
Estimated Revenues $8,387,870
Item 10.2. - CC/LRA – 2/24/2026
Estimated Expenditures $8,439,726
Anticipated Ending Reserve 06/30/2026 $11,484,365
(136%)
Water Fund (Fund 114)
The Water Fund is a business-type account established to support the maintenance and improvement of the water distribution system. Revenue is generated through user fees from residential, commercial, and industrial customers and is strictly allocated for water-related expenses.
For Fiscal Year 2025-26, the beginning reserve has been revised to $377,082. This reserve will not cover the ongoing maintenance and operational costs of the Water utility.
Overall, the Water Fund is expected to close the fiscal year with a negative reserve of (13%). The fund continues to face a structural deficit, based on the original revenue projections. This deficit will continue to make it challenging to complete many of the Capital Improvement Projects.
Water revenue projections have been adjusted with an increase of $49,500. Expenditures have been revised upward by $178,835, mainly due to labor negotiations and other personnel corrections.
In summary, the Water Fund is projected to end the 2025-26 fiscal year as follows:
Beginning Reserve Amended 07/1/2025 $377,082
Estimated Revenues $3,674,500
Estimated Expenditures $4,605,835
Anticipated Ending Reserve 06/30/2026 $(554,253)
(13%)
Water rates have not been increased since 2019, and staff have begun preparing a Request for Proposal to obtain a consultant for a water rate study.
Public Benefit Fund (Fund 230)
In June 2018, the City Council authorized the creation of the Public Benefit Fund. The intent of the fund was to ensure that all cannabis-related revenues were segregated and easily accounted for in a specific fund. In addition to establishing the fund, the City Council developed an expenditure policy that was focused on allocating the funds received for public safety (including police and code enforcement) and other projects that would provide a public benefit, including recreation.
This fund accounts for cannabis revenue which have come directly from the Development Agreements between the City and four cannabis-related businesses in the City. Currently, only three of the cannabis-related businesses are contributing.
Ongoing costs include the funding of a Sheriff Deputy & Community Resource Officer, leasing of the camera system, and a Neighborhood Improvement Officer position.
For the current fiscal year, the Public Benefit fund status as of June 30, 2026, is as follows:
Item 10.2. - CC/LRA – 2/24/2026
Beginning Reserve Amended 07/1/2025 $1,009,806
Estimated Revenues $ 446,000
Estimated Expenditures $ 644,250
Anticipated Ending Reserve 06/30/2026 $ 811,556
(126%)
The only adjustment to the fund was the amended beginning reserve balance.
Public Benefit Fund Analysis
As Development Agreements are re-negotiated, there is an impact on revenues that must be taken into consideration. With fixed costs, such as the camera project monthly fee and funding for two law enforcement officers and a Neighborhood Improvement Officer, it is important to consider that the City should designate portions of the reserve to ensure continued funding for these ongoing costs.
CONCLUSION
The mid-year budget review is an opportunity for the City Departments to revisit their initial budgets and recommend adjustments based on actual activity that is occurring or on activity that is anticipated to occur. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council approve the mid-year budget amendments as presented in Exhibit A.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed changes within the mid-year budget adjustments result in a net impact of $996,138 across all funds. The table below summarizes the net revenue and expenditure adjustments by fund:

AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.1.
SECTION : NEW BUSINESS
Meeting Date: 2/24/2026
Subject: Provide Direction on a Facility Fee Waiver Request for Riverbank Youth Baseball and Softball Association in the Amount of $16,500.00 for Use of the Castleberg Park Sports Fields and Concession Stand
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Michael Patton, Director of Parks & Recreation
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council select one of three options provided by the Parks and Recreation Department regarding the requested waiver of the facility fees for the Riverbank Youth Baseball and Softball Association in the amount of $16,500.00 for use of the Castleberg Park Sports Fields and Concession Stand.
SUMMARY
The Riverbank Youth Baseball and Softball Association has made a request to the Riverbank Parks and Recreation Department to waive facility use fees for their upcoming baseball and softball season.
The fee waiver would include the field rental fee and the concession stand rental fee totaling $16,500.00. According to the Facility Fee Waiver Policy approved by the City Council, the amount of fees being requested to be waived exceeds the annual total amount approved for staff to be able to waive. Therefore, this item is being brought forward to Council for discussion and consideration.
STRATEGIC PLAN
The vision of the Riverbank Strategic Plan states, 'Riverbank is a regional leader in sustainable development offering a unique, culturally diverse, safe, and welcoming community with a thriving downtown, recreational opportunities for all ages and abilities, and a sustainable economy – collaborating with local and regional partners.' With the proposed fee waiver request, the City would be collaborating with a local partner to provide recreation opportunities in the community.
BACKGROUND
During the May 27, 2025, meeting, the City Council approved a Facility Rental Fee Waiver Policy that allows city staff to waive rental fees for city-owned facilities to local organizations. The approved Policy states that staff can not exceed the waiver of $7,500 in total rental fees annually without City Council approval. During the January 27, 2026, City Council meeting, the City Council approved a fee schedule update for the Parks and Recreation Department and its offerings. The fee changes impacted the city's programs, events, and facilities, with one being the Castleberg Park Ball Fields.
The approved fees for the Castleberg Park Ball Fields are as follows:
• Field Use- $30.00 per Hour per Field
• Deposit- $200.00
Item 11.1. - CC/LRA – 2/24/2026
• Lights- $35.00 per Hour per Field
• Park Aide/ Site Monitor- $22.00 per Hour
• Field Drag Fee (No Chalk)- $75.00
• Concession Stand- $200.00 per Day
In February 2026, the Riverbank Youth Baseball and Softball Association (RYBSA) approached the Parks and Recreation Department and requested the use of the Castleberg Park Ball Fields and Concession Stand for their upcoming season. In previous years, the Parks and Recreation Department approved RYBSA’s use of the Castleberg Park sports fields and concession stand internally. In 2025, the Department formalized the arrangement through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlining facility use responsibilities and requiring a minimal payment from RYBSA to offset the City’s direct operating costs. In discussions with RYBSA, the organization is requesting an estimated 250 total hours of field use and an estimated 45 days of concession stand use. RYBSA has requested that these fees be waived for the upcoming season. In calculating the amount of fees being waived, $7,500.00 is requested for field use and $9,000.00 for the use of the concession stand totaling $16,500.00. Based on the Facility Fee Waiver Policy that the City Council approved in 2025, the Parks and Recreation Department is seeking City Council direction and approval for this item.
OPTIONS
In reviewing the request from RYBSA, the Parks and Recreation Department has prepared three options for the City Council to review, take into consideration, and provide a recommendation. The three options are:
Option 1: Approve the Fee Waiver Request
The City Council could approve the fee waiver request in the amount of $16,500.00. The benefit of this is that it would be financially assisting a long-standing organization that has operated in Riverbank and which supports local young people in participating in recreation and physical health.
The issue of approving this fee waiver request is that the financial burden would fall on the City to cover the costs. Based on the department's current 16% cost recovery, approval of this fee waiver would make it more difficult for the department to achieve its cost recovery goals. The other issue with this approval is that the department charges other youth sports organizations rental fees for the use of its facilities, like the Riverbank Sports Complex. Approval of this fee waiver request would set the precedent that facility use fees can be requested to be waived, which may negatively impact current revenue streams for the department.
Recommendation: If the City Council elects to approve the fee waiver request in the amount of $16,500.00, the Parks and Recreation Department recommends the following:
• RYBSA will be responsible for funding additional add-ons, such as a deposit, field lights, park aide/ site monitor, and field drags.
• An agreement between the City and RYBSA is to be signed and agreed upon outlining the responsibilities of each organization during the season. • RYBSA provides current insurance that meets the department's standards for insurance. • The City of Riverbank is listed as a top-tier sponsor of the program and receives all the benefits that are promised to a top-tiered sponsoring organization. • A current Letter of Determination from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) outlining that RYBSA is active and current in their 501(c)(3) status.
Item 11.1. - CC/LRA – 2/24/2026
• Provide the City with a recent financial report showing the organization's current financial situation to determine that a fee waiver is necessary to operate. The financial report shall contain the total monies in possession of the organization, total revenue received for the 2026 season, and the estimated amount of expenditures for the 2026 season.
Option 2: Deny the Fee Waiver Request
The City Council could deny the fee waiver request. The benefit of this is that it would reduce the direct and indirect expenditures incurred by the City for RYBSA to use the facility. The issue of denying the fee waiver request is that it places the financial burden on an organization that supports local youth to provide the funding to reserve the facility. That would be less funding RYBSA could use to reinvest in the program. Another issue that may come from denying the fee waiver request is the public perception of the City not supporting a local organization that has operated in Riverbank for decades. This type of perception may have a negative connotation.
Recommendation: If the City Council elects not to approve the fee waiver request, the Parks and Recreation Department recommends providing reasoning behind the denial. This information would assist the department if they encounter future requests to be able to manage them appropriately.
Option 3:Partial Approval of the Fee Waiver Request
The City Council could do a partial approval of the fee waiver request. A partial approval can look different in many ways. The benefit of this would place a limited financial burden on the City to provide the requested amenities while requiring more buy-in from RYBSA. An issue with a partial approval is that it still sets a precedent for other organizations that currently pay full fees to request fee waivers. This may reduce the amount of expected revenue for the department and then make the department's cost recovery goals more difficult to achieve.
Recommendation: If the City Council elects to give a partial approval of the fee waiver request, the Parks and Recreation Department would recommend the following options to be considered as a partial fee waiver request:
• For the concession stand, instead of a day-use fee, the City and RYBSA enter into an agreement to do a revenue split of the monies earned at the concession throughout the season. The typical revenue split the department has performed with other groups is a 70/30 split where the department receives 30% of the total revenues received. • RYBSA performs in-kind work to improve the facility. Examples may include repainting backstops, seeking donations for shade structures, searching for grant opportunities to improve Castleberg Park, etc.
• RYBSA donates an agreed-upon amount of volunteer hours to the Park and Recreation Department for its programs and events throughout the year.
If this option is selected, the Parks and Recreation Department recommends the following:
• RYBSA will be responsible for funding additional add-ons, such as a deposit, field lights, park aide/ site monitor, and field drags.
• An agreement between the City and RYBSA is to be signed and agreed upon outlining the responsibilities of each organization during the season. • RYBSA provides current insurance that meets the department's standards for insurance.
Item 11.1. - CC/LRA – 2/24/2026
• The City of Riverbank is listed as a top-tier sponsor of the program and receives all the benefits that are promised to a top-tiered sponsoring organization. • A current Letter of Determination from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) outlining that RYBSA is active and current in their 501(c)(3) status.
• Provide the City with a recent financial report showing the organization's current financial situation to determine that a partial fee waiver is necessary to operate. The financial report shall contain the total monies in possession of the organization, total revenue received for the 2026 season, and the estimated amount of expenditures for the 2026 season.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The financial impacts this item would cause would depend on the options selected and approved by the City Council.
If the Fee Waiver Request is Approved:
• The City and the Parks and Recreation Department would be subsidizing RYBSA's use of the Castleberg Park Ball Fields and Concession Stand. The estimated value is $16,500.00 which includes the cost of utilities, staff time, administration, other indirect costs, etc.
If the Fee Waiver Request is Not Approved:
• If RYBSA elects to utilize the concession stand and have the fields reserved, then $16,500.00 in revenue would be generated by the department that would go to the general fund. • If RYBSA elects to not utilize the concession stand and have the fields reserved, then the City expenditures typically spent on the facility due to the organization's usage would diminish and those resources would be reallocated in other areas of the department.
If a Partial Fee Waiver is Approved:
• The City would generate some revenue that has not been anticipated. This increase in revenue would offset some of the expenses incurred by the City for RYBSA's use of the facility.

RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL / LRA BOARD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.2.
SECTION : NEW BUSINESS
Meeting Date: 2/24/2026
Subject: Resolution Authorizing the Inclusion of Certain Crossroads West Specific Plan (CWSP) Roadway and Trail Segments in the Citywide System Development Fee (SDF) Update Study
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Joshua Mann, Director of Community Development
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council provide policy direction on whether the following improvements associated with the Crossroads West Specific Plan (CWSP) should be evaluated as part of the City’s ongoing System Development Fee (SDF) update study:
1. Machado Parkway
2. Westgate Drive (west of Oakdale Road)
3. Morrill Road (west of Oakdale Road)
4. Multi-use bicycle & pedestrian trail segments (along MID Lateral No. 6 and the MID Main Canal)
SUMMARY
The City has received a written request from the Machado and Harrigfeld Parties (see Attachment 1) seeking a future amendment to their Crossroads West Development Agreement to include certain roadway and trail segments in the City’s System Development Fee program. The applicant asserts that these facilities now provide community-wide benefit due to regional commercial development, school access, and broader circulation demands. Refer to the attached maps (Attachment 2) depicting the requested roadway and trail segments and the Crossroads West Specific Plan Land Use Map for geographic context.
The City is in the initial stages of completing a comprehensive update of its System Development Fee program, including the Traffic, Streets and Roadway fee categories and associated capital improvement project lists. The professional services contract for the SDF update was awarded by the City Council on February 10, 2026, and staff is preparing to initiate the consultant kick-off process.
This staff report seeks City Council direction on whether the requested roadway and trail segments should be formally analyzed by the City’s SDF consultant as part of the current update study.
This action does not amend the Development Agreement and does not create any reimbursement entitlement. Should this item be approved, an amendment will be brought forward for Council consideration.
Item 11.2. - CC/LRA – 2/24/2026
STRATEGIC PLAN
This action is consistent with the City of Riverbank 2025 to 2030 Strategic Plan because it supports the City’s Infrastructure and Financial Sustainability goals. The Strategic Plan calls for expanding non-motorized transportation options and updating the City’s fee schedule. By directing the SDF consultant to evaluate these Crossroads West roadway and trail segments, the City ensures infrastructure planning reflects current growth and that any future fees are supported by proper nexus and proportionality analysis, helping protect the General Fund.
BACKGROUND
In 2019, the City entered into a Development Agreement with the Machado and Harrigfeld Parties to govern residential development of the Crossroads West Specific Plan (CWSP) area. The Agreement establishes a 20-year term and grants vested development rights consistent with the Specific Plan and applicable law in effect at the time of approval. It also establishes reimbursement mechanisms tied to the City’s System Development Fee program and limits reimbursement to infrastructure improvements that are identified within the SDF program and supported by required nexus findings and proportionality analysis.
Applicant Request
The Machado and Harrigfeld Parties have submitted a written request seeking City Council support to pursue a future amendment to the Crossroads West Development Agreement to allow certain additional infrastructure improvements to be considered for inclusion within the City’s System Development Fee program. The request is framed within the context of the existing Development Agreement, which provides reimbursement mechanisms for eligible infrastructure improvements that are included in the City’s SDF program and supported by nexus findings.
Specifically, the applicant requests that the City evaluate Machado Parkway, Westgate Drive formerly known as Crawford Road (west of Oakdale Road), Morrill Road (west of Oakdale Road) and multi-use bicycle and pedestrian paths along MID Lateral No. 6 and the MID Main Canal for potential inclusion in the SDF program. The attached exhibits (see Attachment 3 & 4) illustrate the precise segment locations and their relationship to the Crossroads West Specific Plan land use pattern.
The applicant notes that Crawford Road east of Oakdale Road was previously incorporated into the City’s SDF program in recognition of its broader community benefit and asserts that the additional roadway segments now function in a similar capacity. The request explains that since original project approvals, significant changes in the surrounding area have occurred, including the construction of Costco and related commercial development and the acquisition of a TK–8 school site by the Sylvan Union School District within the Specific Plan area. The applicant contends that these roadways now serve regional commercial traffic, school-related trips, and general City circulation beyond the Crossroads West residential buildout.
In addition, the applicant asserts that the proposed multi-use trail segments provide connectivity to existing City trail infrastructure and the Community Park, thereby serving residents beyond the Specific Plan boundaries. Based on these factors, the applicant maintains that the identified facilities provide a community-wide benefit consistent with improvements typically funded through the City’s SDF program and requests Council support to analyze these facilities for potential inclusion as part of a future Development Agreement amendment.
Item 11.2. - CC/LRA – 2/24/2026
ANALYSIS
The City Council is not considering or approving a Development Agreement amendment at this time.
Staff is seeking policy direction on whether the identified roadway and trail facilities should be evaluated as part of the City’s ongoing System Development Fee update.
If directed to proceed, the City’s SDF consultant will evaluate the requested facilities through a formal nexus and proportionality analysis consistent with the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act. This evaluation will include review of traffic modeling and trip generation data, determination of whether the facilities function as backbone or collector improvements serving Citywide growth, and assessment of the percentage of benefit attributable to future Citywide development versus buildout of the Crossroads West Specific Plan area. The consultant will also analyze whether full roadway segments or only proportional portions qualify for inclusion and determine the appropriate assignment within the City’s SDF fee categories.
The study may ultimately determine that the facilities are not eligible for SDF inclusion, that only a proportional share is eligible, or that eligibility is limited to specific components or segments. Any recommendation will be supported by documented nexus findings and defensible cost allocation methodology.
Future Development Agreement Amendment
If the SDF update study supports inclusion of any portion of these improvements in the City’s SDF program, the Machado Parties may return at a later date with a formal amendment to the Development Agreement. Any such amendment would define the specific reimbursable scope, establish cost caps consistent with updated nexus findings, and be subject to public hearing and City Council adoption by ordinance pursuant to Government Code section 65867.
No reimbursement entitlement is created unless and until a Development Agreement amendment is formally approved by the City Council.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Providing policy direction to include facilities in the SDF study does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act. Any future adoption of updated SDF fees or amendment to the Development Agreement will be evaluated for CEQA compliance at that time.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with this action. The City’s System Development Fee update is being funded through the Stanislaus Council of Governments Regional Early Action Planning (REAP 2.0) Grant program, which was previously awarded to the City and approved by the City Council for this purpose. As such, evaluation of the requested roadway and trail facilities can be conducted within the scope of the existing consultant contract funded by REAP 2.0 grant proceeds, without impact to the City’s General Fund. Any future inclusion of the subject facilities in the SDF program would require formal adoption of updated nexus findings and fee schedules.

RESOLUTION 2026-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIVERBANK TO
AUTHORIZING THE INCLUSION OF CERTAIN CROSSROADS WEST SPECIFIC
PLAN (CWSP) ROADWAY AND TRAIL SEGMENTS IN THE CITYWIDE SYSTEM
DEVELOPMENT FEE (SDF) UPDATE STUDY
THE CITY OF RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL (HEREAFTER REFERRED TO AS THE “CITY COUNCIL”) DOES HEREBY RESOLVE THAT:
WHEREAS, on February 24, 2026, the City Council of the City of Riverbank considered a staff report entitled “Authorization to Include Certain Crossroads West Specific Plan (CWSP) Roadway and Trail Segments in the Citywide System Development Fee (SDF) Update Study”; and
WHEREAS, in 2019 the City entered into a Development Agreement with the Machado and Harrigfeld Parties governing development of the Crossroads West Specific Plan area, which established reimbursement mechanisms tied to the City’s System Development Fee program and limited reimbursement to improvements supported by required nexus and proportionality findings; and
WHEREAS, the Machado and Harrigfeld Parties have submitted a written request seeking City Council support to evaluate certain roadway and trail segments for potential inclusion in the City’s System Development Fee program as part of a future Development Agreement amendment; and
WHEREAS, the requested facilities include Machado Parkway, Westgate Drive west of Oakdale Road, Morrill Road west of Oakdale Road, and multi-use bicycle and pedestrian trail segments along MID Lateral No. 6 and the MID Main Canal; and WHEREAS, the City is currently undertaking a comprehensive update to its System Development Fee program, including Traffic, Streets and Roadway fee categories and associated capital improvement project lists, pursuant to the Mitigation Fee Act Government Code section 66000 et seq.; and
CC/LRA – 02/24/2026
CC Resolution 2026-
WHEREAS, the professional services contract for the System Development Fee update was awarded by the City Council on February 10, 2026, and the evaluation of additional facilities may be incorporated into the scope of the ongoing study; and WHEREAS, providing policy direction to evaluate the identified facilities as part of the System Development Fee update does not amend the Development Agreement and does not create any reimbursement entitlement; and
WHEREAS, no reimbursement right shall arise unless and until the City Council formally adopts updated nexus findings and fee schedules and approves any subsequent Development Agreement amendment by ordinance pursuant to Government Code section 65867; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that providing policy direction to include facilities in a fee study does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act because it is an administrative and planning activity that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable physical change in the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Riverbank hereby directs staff and the City’s System Development Fee consultant to evaluate the following facilities as part of the Citywide System Development Fee update study:
1. Machado Parkway
2. Westgate Drive west of Oakdale Road
3. Morrill Road west of Oakdale Road
4. Multi-use bicycle and pedestrian trail segments along MID Lateral No. 6 and the MID Main Canal
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that such evaluation shall include preparation of nexus and proportionality analysis consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act Government Code section 66000 et seq., and shall determine whether any portion of the identified facilities qualifies for inclusion in the City’s System Development Fee program.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this action provides policy direction only, does not amend the Crossroads West Development Agreement, does not establish eligibility for reimbursement, and does not obligate the City to include any portion of the identified facilities in the System Development Fee program.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that any future amendment to the Development Agreement or adoption of updated System Development Fees shall require separate public hearing, environmental review as required, and formal City Council action.
