RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL / LRA BOARD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.2.

SECTION : PRESENTATIONS
Meeting Date: 4/14/2026
Subject: Proclamation — National Arbor Day
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Jessica Campos, Administrative Assistant-Confidential

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council read the Proclamation for National Arbor Day 2026.

SUMMARY
National Arbor Day is essential because it raises awareness about the environmental, social, and economic benefits of trees. It promotes environmental sustainability by improving air quality, combating climate change, and providing wildlife habitats. Arbor Day also fosters community involvement, encourages education about nature, and inspires global efforts to protect and plant trees for a healthier future.

STRATEGIC PLAN
Although this does not directly impact the strategic plan, it is important to raise awareness of Arbor Day, as trees play a vital role in making cities healthier, safer, and more enjoyable places to live.

BACKGROUND
Arbor Day was established in 1872 by J. Sterling Morton in Nebraska City, Nebraska. By the 1920s, every state in the U.S. had enacted laws designating a specific day for observing Arbor Day.

National Arbor Day is celebrated annually on the last Friday in April and is a civic holiday in Nebraska. In 1885, Arbor Day was named a legal state holiday in Nebraska, and April 22 was selected as the date for its permanent annual observance. The traditional way to observe the day is by planting a tree. On the inaugural Arbor Day, April 10, 1872, approximately one million trees were planted.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
No financial impact.

ATTACHMENTS

1. Proclamation

WHEREAS; in 1872, the Nebraska Board of Agriculture
established a special day to be set aside for the planting of trees, and WHEREAS; this holiday, called Arbor Day, was first observed with the planting of more than a million trees in Nebraska, and WHEREAS; Arbor Day is now observed throughout the nation and the world, and
WHEREAS; trees can be a solution to combating climate change by reducing the erosion of our precious topsoil by wind and water, cutting heating and cooling costs, moderating the temperature, cleaning the air, producing life-giving oxygen, and providing habitat for wildlife, and
WHEREAS; trees are a renewable resource giving us paper, wood for our homes, fuel for our fires, and countless other wood products, and
WHEREAS; trees in our city increase property values, enhance the economic vitality of business areas, and beautify our community, and
WHEREAS; trees — wherever they are planted — are a source of joy and spiritual renewal.

NOW, THEREFORE the City Council of the City of Riverbank hereby proclaims April 24, 2025 as Arbor Day in the City of Riverbank, and I urge all citizens to celebrate Arbor Day and to support efforts to protect our trees and woodlands. Further, I urge all citizens to plant trees to gladden the heart and promote the well-being of this and future generations.

STRATEGIC PLAN

It is a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation's libraries and librarians and to promote library use and support.

CC / LRA Minutes – 3/10/2026
Item 10.1. Staff
City Manager Garcia:
• Just a couple of comments for tonight from our Public Works department. Unfortunately, our street sweeper is still being serviced as the parts are on backorder. We are looking into alternative ways to ensure that our streets stay safe and clean. So we will be actively working on that.
• From the Planning department, the 4th draft of the housing element was submitted to the Department of Housing and Community Development on March 4th. A public hearing for the adoption and rezoning of several parcels in the city limits has been scheduled for March 31st at the Planning Commission. That is a special meeting as they did cancel their March 17th meeting. And then April 14th for our City Council consideration. • From the Finance department, utility bills that were issued in January and remain unpaid were assessed late fees on February 10th and should have already received their 10-day notice of disconnect last week. So accounts not paid by Monday the 16th at 5:30 pm will be subject to disconnection beginning Tuesday, March 17th.
• From the City Clerks office, this is a comment once again about our Budget Advisory Committee. Help guide Riverbanks' financial future, we are recruiting residents to serve on the committee itself. The committee advises the City Council on the city's financial health, operating budget, and long-term fiscal sustainability. Applicants must reside within Riverbank city limits, and the application period is open until April 9th or until all the vacancies are filled.

Please contact the City Clerk with any questions.
• From Parks and Recreation, on Saturday, March 21st, bring your pets to Jacob Myers Park dog park for photos with the Easter Bunny between 10am and 12pm. • And then from my office, as I mentioned before, we did issue the Notice of Funding Availability of 1.5 million available for the construction of permanently affordable rental housing. The funding is available through a direct allocation from Senator Susan Eggman. The NOFA is available on the city's website on the City Manager's page.

Item 10.2. Council/Authority Member
Councilmember Uribe:
• So, on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, they are going to be holding a mixer at Costco tomorrow morning from 7:00am - 8:30am it is open to the public, so all are welcome. • On March 12th, I will be attending the Central Valley Division general membership meeting with the League of California Cities in Tracy. These are regional meetings that bring local elected officials across the Central Valley to discuss policy issues, best practices, and collaborate with each community.
• On March 17th at 3:00pm, we'll be hosting an informal meeting to discuss the possibility of a Blue Zone project here in Riverbank. So the idea behind the Blue Zone project is to look at simple ways that communities can support healthier lifestyles. So this is going to be the first meeting, small group discussion, hear ideas, and expectations, then see if it moves forward. • On April 16th at 5:30pm, the Riverbank Sister Cities Committee will be hosting Tamazula night celebrating our Sister Cities relationship with Tamazula de Gordiano and Jalisco. So we are encouraging residents who are from that region, or anybody that's interested, to come connect with neighbors, share stories, share cultures, and traditions. We would like to implement some of that at our event in September. So we are hoping to get some feedback for the next event.

Not Approved

CC / LRA Minutes – 3/10/2026
• Lastly, I would like to encourage my fellow Councilmembers to consider directing staff to begin reviewing the possibility of a speed hump policy for the City of Riverbank. Several more residents have reached out encouraging us to do something or to begin some kind of policy framework. So the suggestion would be to have the Traffic Committee start looking at what that could look like, and then bring those recommendations back to City Council.

Councilmember Fosi:
• On March 14th, the Historical Society is having a fundraiser at Red Robin. So please come over there on Saturday between 11:00am to 6:00pm we will have our fire engine there, so the kids can come and sit on it and take pictures. And then you can go in and have a great hamburger.
• On March 17th, the Women's group is meeting at Scout Hall at 6:30pm. I almost said, A.M., I wouldn't be there. We hope to see anybody who would like to show up.

Councilmember Call:
• First I wanted to start off, a couple of weeks ago or a week ago, Sergeant Hickman was celebrated at the Board of Supervisors meeting for his 25-year anniversary with the Stanislaus County Sheriffs Department. So I wanted to bring that to Riverbank as our Sergeant and acting Chief. So congratulations to you on your 25-year anniversary. And with that, I recently celebrated some anniversaries at a couple of our businesses and I reached out to the City Manager and I asked her how we celebrate milestone anniversaries here in the city, and I was thinking about my tenure here on City Council, although it's been short. We haven't had any milestone anniversaries celebrated here during City Council meetings. So I would like the Council's support in coming up with some sort of milestone process for the 1-year anniversary, 5 years, 10 years, 15, 20, because we do have a lot of long-standing employees, and I think it's important that the city knows people love working here, and they're here for a long time. So I'd really like Council support in finding a way to acknowledge those employees at future meetings.
• The speed hump policy. I would like a presentation from the traffic committee on traffic hotspots and other potential opportunities for speed humps. • Coffee with a cop is tomorrow at Starbucks Target from 9:00am to 10:30am. It's a great opportunity to come and meet those who are policing our neighborhoods and some of the additional staff who come and help. So come out to that. • Lastly, there's been a lot of conversation about the housing element and forced rezoning of some of these vacant properties, and I was just kind of pondering on solutions that could potentially help with this. So I'm looking for a sphere of influence adjustment to where the North County corridor is our southern boundary. Coffee becomes our western boundary.

Roselle is our eastern, and then Patterson Rd becomes our northern boundary. So I would really like the Council's support in that as well.

• In 2016, Stanislaus County passed a half-cent sales tax that's for 25 years. I am part of a new ad hoc committee that is going to assess the oversight of the sales tax. So I think it's great to do some periodic check-ins to ensure that there's proper oversight of that measure.

RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL / LRA BOARD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.3.

SECTION : CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: 4/14/2026
Subject: Resolution Approving the Fiscal Year 2024 and Fiscal Year 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funding Agreements with Stanislaus County
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Leticia Ibanez
Housing Specialist

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 and FY 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding agreements with Stanislaus County and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreements.

SUMMARY
In June 2019, the City became part of the Stanislaus County Urban County (“Urban County”) Consortium for a direct allocation of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The County requires approval of the Funding Agreement which sets forth the stipulations on the allocation, administration, reporting, and use of the funds and designates the City of Riverbank as a subrecipient of said funds. Approval of the CDBG funding agreements is necessary for the City to access and utilize its allocated FY 2024 and FY 2025 CDBG funds. Execution of these agreements ensures compliance with HUD requirements and allows the City to proceed with implementation of the approved projects and programs.

STRATEGIC PLAN
This item supports the City's Strategic Plan goal of Infrastructure, demonstrating progress and alignment with established community goals. It reflects the City's commitment to infrastructure improvements, including the modernization of recreation facilities, enhancement of accessibility in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the evaluation of aging infrastructure for rehabilitation.

BACKGROUND
The City of Riverbank, in partnership with Stanislaus County and the cities of Ceres, Hughson, Newman, Oakdale, Patterson, Riverbank, and Waterford, participates in the Stanislaus Urban County for the purpose of receiving U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. Stanislaus County serves as the lead entity responsible for the administration and implementation of CDBG funding on behalf of all member jurisdictions.

As part of this partnership, Stanislaus County prepares and submits required planning documents to HUD, including the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans (AAPs), which identify community

Item 9.3. - CC / LRA – 4/14/2026
needs and allocate funding to eligible activities.

The City was allocated CDBG funding for Fiscal Years 2024 and 2025 through the approved Annual Action Plans. These funds are intended to support eligible activities that benefit low- and moderateincome residents and address community development needs, including public services, public infrastructure improvements, and housing-related activities.

The execution of the FY 2024 and FY 2025 funding agreements was delayed due to extended processing and approval timelines at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As a result, both funding agreements are being presented together for Council consideration at this time.

The agreements outline the terms and conditions for the use of CDBG funds, including compliance with federal regulations, eligible use requirements, reporting obligations, and expenditure deadlines.

CDBG FUNDING
For Fiscal Year 2024, the City of Riverbank was allocated approximately $142,061.75 in CDBG funding.

For Fiscal Year 2025, the City of Riverbank was allocated approximately $138,373.00 in CDBG funding.

The City intends to utilize these funds for the following activities:
• FY 2024: Water and Sewer Line Replacement, Alley between Riverside Drive and High Street, from 3017 High Street to 4th Street
• FY 2025: Water and Sewer Line Replacement, Alley between Riverside Drive and High Street, from 3017 High Street to 4th Street
• FY 2025: Pioneer Park Improvements and ADA Updates, Located at the northwest corner of 1 st Street and High Street
• FY 2025: Texas and Kansas Sewer Line Replacement Located at two locations: Sewer replacement at Texas–Kansas Alley (8th–Chief Tucker) and Texas Avenue (Terminal–8th), within 20’ alleys and a 50’ street.

All CDBG-funded activities must meet one of the national objectives established by HUD, which include:

1. Benefit to low- and moderate-income persons

2. Prevention or elimination of slums or blight

3. Meeting urgent community development needs

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City will receive approximately $142,061.75 in FY 2024 CDBG funds and $138,373.00 in FY 2025 CDBG funds. These funds are federal pass-through funds administered by Stanislaus County and will be incorporated into the City’s budget for eligible activities.

There is no impact on the City’s General Fund associated with acceptance of these funds.

HUD CDBG Addenda
The following requirements are incorporated by reference into this Agreement. City agrees to comply with these requirements, as applicable to its use of CDBG funds. The Executive Orders and policy directives summarized in this Exhibit are currently being implemented by the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through guidance, notices, and related compliance measures. While an Executive Order may not yet be codified into federal regulation, HUD has directed grantees and subrecipients to comply with them.

Accordingly, as a condition of this Agreement, the City agrees to make every effort to work collaboratively with the County to address any issues that may arise as a result of these Executive Orders or related HUD directives, and to cooperate in identifying an agreeable and practicable method of achieving federal compliance. The City further agrees to adjust its practices, policies, or program implementation as reasonably required to ensure that the County, as the HUD grantee, remains in compliance with applicable federal requirements.

Addendum 1. Policy Requirements
If applicable:
• This Agreement shall not be governed by Executive Orders revoked by E.O. 14154, including E.O. 14008 or notice of funding opportunity requirements implementing Executive Orders that have been revoked.
• City must administer its program in accordance with immigration restrictions under the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (8 U.S.C. 1601– 1646), and any applicable requirements that HUD, the Attorney General, or the U.S.

Citizenship and Immigration Services may establish from time to time to comply with PRWORA, Executive Order 14218, or other Executive Orders or immigration laws. • City shall not use CDBG funds in a manner that subsidizes or promotes illegal immigration or that shields undocumented individuals from deportation. • City must use the SAVE system or another federally approved verification system to ensure federal public benefits are not provided to ineligible aliens. • Faith-based organizations may serve as subrecipients on the same basis as any other organization, and no applicant may be discriminated against on the basis of religious character, affiliation, or exercise.

Addendum 2. Program-Specific Requirements
• Environmental Review – City agrees to provide required documentation to the County for the County to comply with all environmental review requirements at 24 CFR Part 58. • City shall ensure that no CDBG funds are used to support any Federal, State, or local projects that seek to use the power of eminent domain, unless eminent domain is employed only for public use. For the purposes of this requirement, public use shall not be construed to include economic development that primarily benefits private entities. Any use of funds for mass transit, railroad, airport, seaport, or highway projects as well as utility projects that benefit or

FY 2024-2025 Stanislaus Urban County CDBG Annual Allocation Agreement 28 serve the general public (including energy-, communication-, water-, and wastewater-related infrastructure), other structures designated for use by the general public or which have other common-carrier or public-utility functions that serve the general public and are subject to regulation and oversight by the government, and projects for the removal of an immediate threat to public health and safety or brownfield as defined in the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act (Pub. Law No. 107–118) shall be considered a public use for purposes of eminent domain.
• Violence Against Women Act Compliance – City must comply with the right to report crime and emergencies protections at 34 U.S.C. § 12495, ensuring protections for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking.

All returned grant funds or payments, if any, shall be treated by County as program income.

6. PROGRAM ACTIVITY ELIGIBILITY

The environmental review record shall include, but not be limited to, all documents which have been prepared, circulated, posted, or published to reflect an environmental determination made by City. City’s CDBG activity delivery funds may be used to cover costs associated with environmental review compliance by County, if outside consulting services are required to be used by County. An estimate of costs associated with environmental review compliance shall be provided by County to City for review and approval prior to any expenditure. County shall be provided with costs associated with the City use of consulting services associated with environmental review compliance before any expenditure. Any CDBG funding used to cover costs associated with the environmental review record shall be an activity delivery cost. No project activity funds, beyond County-authorized activity delivery funds, shall be utilized or encumbered for any activity until County approval of the environmental record for said activity has occurred.

County, HUD, and any authorized representatives shall have access to and the right to examine all records, books, papers or documents related to the project for the purposes of making audit, evaluation, examination, excerpts and transcripts during normal business hours and during the period such records are to be maintained by City. Further, County and HUD shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit, inspect or otherwise evaluate the work performed or being performed under this Agreement.

7.7 Privacy Procedures. City shall develop and implement reasonable procedures to ensure: (1) the confidentiality of records pertaining to all program participants; and (2) that program participant’s addresses will not be made public, except to the extent that this prohibition contradicts a preexisting privacy policy of the City.

7.8 Audit Provision.

8.2 Reasonable Grant Costs. County reserves the right to determine whether or not a request for CDBG grant fund reimbursement is reasonable. A cost is considered to be reasonable if, in its nature or amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person under the circumstances prevailing at the time the decision was made to incur the costs. In determining the reasonableness of a given cost, consideration shall be given to: (1) whether the cost is of a type generally recognized as ordinary and necessary for the operation of the City or the performance of the award; (2) the restraints or requirements imposed by such factors as generally accepted sound business practices, arms length bargaining, federal and state laws and regulations, and terms and conditions of the award; (3) whether the individuals concerned acted with prudence in the circumstances, considering their responsibilities to the City, its members, employees, and clients, the public at large, and the Federal Government; and (4) significant deviations from the established practices of the City which may unjustifiably increase the award costs.

8.3 Allocable Grant Costs. County reserves the right to determine whether or

FY 2025-2026 Stanislaus Urban County CDBG Annual Allocation Agreement 9 not a request for CDBG grant fund reimbursement is allocable, consistent with applicable federal regulations. A cost is considered to be allocable if it: (1) is incurred specifically for the award; (2) benefits both the award and other work and can be distributed in reasonable proportion to the benefits received; or (3) is necessary to the overall operation of the City, although a direct relationship to any particular cost objective cannot be shown.

8.4 Procurement.

The applicable federal regulations are contained in 2 CFR Sections 200.317-200.327 and 24 CFR Section 570.502 and 570.610.

RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL / LRA BOARD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.4.

SECTION : CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: 4/14/2026
Subject: Resolution Approving the Memorandum of Agreement for Implementation of the Pyrethroid Control Program; CASQA Group Membership & Our Water Our World (OWOW) Group Subscription with Stanislaus County – San Joaquin County Central Valley Agencies and Authorize the City Manager or Designee to Execute the Agreement on behalf of the City of Riverbank From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Kathleen Cleek, Capital Projects/Regulatory Compliance Manager

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the Memorandum of Agreement for Implementation of the Pyrethroid Control Program; CASQA Group Membership & OWOW Group Subscription with Stanislaus County – San Joaquin County Central Valley Agencies and Authorize the City Manager to Designate Kathleen Cleek, Capital Projects/Regulatory Compliance Manager to Execute the Agreement on behalf of the City of Riverbank.

SUMMARY
For several months the City of Riverbank, along with other Stanislaus & San Joaquin County agencies, have been working closely to help address compliance with State-mandated Pyrethroids Management Plan and Pesticide Basin Plan Amendments by implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce pesticide runoff in stormwater. The City’s Plan was completed and submitted to the State in 2021 and approved in 2022.

A Pyrethroid Management Plan is the framework used to guide the responsible use, application, and mitigation of pyrethroid pesticides to minimize their environmental impact. The Pyrethroids Management Plan framework was developed by Larry Walker Associates in collaboration with 20+ other agencies that are under the same Stormwater MS4 Phase II permit requirements. The partnership meets monthly and has an existing Cost-Share Agreement in place that allows for collaboration on finding the most cost-effective ways to comply with all the programs and requirements of the State while also providing consistency with stormwater program standards, and policies among local jurisdictions, as well as the ability to bring professional consulting services for more complex tasks and increase efficiency on a regional basis.

The Pyrethroids Management Plan is composed of various management practices and activities that include 1. Education & Outreach (Residential/Businesses, Point of Purchase, Pest Control/Landscape Professionals, and Landscape & Irrigation Practices); 2. Pesticide Pollution Prevention; and 3. Progress Reports and Adaptive Management.

The City has been able to comply with the mandates and continues to implement the Pyrethroids

Item 9.4. - CC / LRA – 4/14/2026
Management Plan requirements. The City, along with the partnership, has come up with ways to leverage resources and collaboratively develop programs that are effective and save on costs. Among these efforts include paying for memberships and subscriptions and contracting a stormwater consultant to manage all outreach/education materials that are needed for each agency.

Over the past three to four years, the efforts have been successful, and the group will form the “Stanislaus County – San Joaquin County Regionwide Program.” The City of Riverbank has seen the benefits grow over the years, and staff is ready to bring forward this item that will formalize the group and describe the efforts through the attached Memorandum Agreement.

It is recommended that the City Council review this item and approve the Memorandum of Agreement for Implementation of the Pyrethroid Control Program, so the City can continue working with this collaborative group to meet our stormwater requirements. The effective date of this agreement is retroactive to April 1, 2026 and will be ongoing.

STRATEGIC PLAN
Meets the Core Value of Collaboration and Innovation.

BACKGROUND

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost for the CASQA (California Stormwater Quality Association) Group Membership is $41,250 and the Subscription annual costs to Our Water our World (OWOW) is $9,375 for 2026. Both the CASQA membership and OWOW subscription are required to be able to access proprietary resources (in-store educational materials, less-toxic products lists, label files used in Outreach and Education program efforts).

The costs for each participating agency are based on the population. The City’s population used is 24,865. Therefore, the City’s share cost breakdown is as follows:

CASQA Group Membership $3,894
OWOW Subscription $843
Grand Total = $4,737 (Partnership saving the City over 50%).

The annual costs associated with this item are allocated and approved as part of the City’s annual budget under Stormwater Fund 101-413.

STANISLAUS COUNTY – SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
FOR
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PYRETHROID CONTROL PROGRAM:

CASQA GROUP MEMBERSHIP AND OWOW GROUP SUBSCRIPTION

Stanislaus County – San Joaquin County MoA for the Pyrethroid Control Program 1 Stanislaus County – San Joaquin County Memorandum of Agreement for the Implementation of the Pyrethroid Control Program
is by and between the Agencies Named Below

This Memorandum of Agreement (“MoA” or “Agreement”) is jointly entered into by the cities of Ceres, Lodi, Manteca, Modesto, Newman, Patterson, Riverbank, Stockton, Tracy, and Turlock; the community of Mountain House, and the County of San Joaquin and Stanislaus County (collectively referred to as “parties”; sometimes individually referred to herein as “permittee” or “agency” or “group”). It is dated as April 1, 2026.

Recitals
A. On June 8, 2017, the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Water Board) adopted Resolution R5-2017-0057, the Basin Plan Amendment (BPA) for the Control of Pyrethroid Pesticide Discharges. The BPA was subsequently approved by the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) on July 10, 2018, and the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) on February 19, 2019. With these approvals, the BPA became effective. All municipal stormwater permittees (Phase I and Phase II) are subject to the conditional prohibition.

B. The BPA established a Pyrethroids Control Program that includes a variety of actions including, but not limited to, the development of a Pyrethroid Management Program (PMP).

C. In 2020, a Central Valley regional group of about 20 agencies was formed to leverage resources and collaboratively develop both a baseline PMP template for use by the parties in developing their own PMPs as well as several outreach materials and tools that would assist the parties in implementing the PMPs.

D. The PMPs included a set of management practices that, taken as a whole, may reasonably be expected to effectively reduce pyrethroid levels in municipal stormwater discharges. The PMP includes a series of required activities including, but not limited to, the need to have point-of-purchase outreach, which is described as…Make available point-ofpurchase outreach materials to pesticide retailer(s) in or near the Permittee’s jurisdiction. These materials shall provide targeted information on proper pesticide use and disposal, potential adverse impacts on water quality, and less toxic methods of pest prevention and control1.

E. The primary point-of-purchase program that is being used by the parties for this outreach is Our Water – Our World (OWOW). OWOW is a statewide California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) program specifically designed to address water quality impacts of urban use pesticides and has an OWOW IPM Advocate who provides outreach at local store(s).

The IPM Advocate is responsible for setting up and maintaining in-store racks containing OWOW outreach materials. These materials and literature provide customers with information 1 Attachment 1, Resolution R5-2017-0057, page 16

Stanislaus County – San Joaquin County MoA for the Pyrethroid Control Program 2 regarding the potentially adverse impacts of pesticides on water quality, proper pesticide use and disposal, and less toxic methods of pest control.

F. In order to participate in OWOW the parties must have a) a current CASQA membership, b) a valid CASQA OWOW subscription, and c) a valid contract with an OWOW IPM Advocate to assist with the implementation of the point-of-purchase program within each of the jurisdictions.

G. In 2024, the Central Valley regional group (22 agencies) joined together to purchase a CASQA Areawide MS4 membership as well as an OWOW group subscription.

Joining together in this manner allowed the regional group to leverage their resources (and achieve cost savings) while meeting their regulatory requirements.

H. Effective January 1, 2026, CASQA restructured their membership dues and redefined what constitutes an Areawide MS4 membership. The changes included, but were not limited to, a requirement that the agencies purchasing an Areawide membership were located within the same County or within two adjacent counties and that there be a legally established cost-sharing agreement amongst all entities that are a part of the membership.

I. The parties within this MoA are located within two adjacent counties and have the ability to leverage their resources and continue as an Areawide MS4 “group” so that they can cost effectively purchase a CASQA group membership as well as a OWOW group subscription to assist in meeting their regulatory requirements.

J. The purpose of the MoA is to formally document the roles and responsibilities of each of the parties within the Stanislaus County – San Joaquin County group. The MoA does not, in and of itself, commit any agency financially to the implementation of the Pyrethroid Control Program. Each agency will need to continue to contract directly and individually with the Group Lead (Larry Walker Associates or LWA) to complete the work required.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

A. Group Activities Delineation.

Group Lead - LWA
LWA will function as the Group Lead and be responsible for the following:
• Maintaining the CASQA Group Membership and OWOW Group Subscription list (for each agency - primary and secondary contact names, emails, phone numbers) in an Excel or other format
• Responding to questions from CASQA and the parties, as needed • Renewing the CASQA Group Membership and OWOW Group Subscription on an annual basis (April of every year)
• Participating in the CASQA quarterly OWOW calls/meetings and providing a summary of key topics and action items to the group
• Coordinating and placing the group bulk OWOW Order each year with CASQA (typically December/January) and following up as needed to ensure that the materials are delivered

Stanislaus County – San Joaquin County MoA for the Pyrethroid Control Program 3 • Coordinating and communicating with the Group as needed • Contracting with and invoicing each agency (twice per fiscal year) Group - Parties
• Respond to information requests from the Group Lead including information such as voting members, bulk orders, etc. in a timely manner. • Enter into a contract with LWA each fiscal year for the services conducted as Group Lead on behalf of each entity.

B. Termination.

This Agreement will remain in place until formally amended or repealed by the parties.

Should an individual Permittee want to terminate its obligations under this Agreement, the following conditions must be met:

1. The Permittee shall provide written notice to the Group Lead of its intention to terminate its participation in the Agreement no later than 30 days before 5:00 PM June 30 prior to the commencement of the following fiscal year of which it is seeking to terminate its obligations (July 1 – June 30).

2. The Permittee shall be committed to fulfill all of its financial obligations outlined in this Agreement to the end of the current fiscal year (June 30).

3. The Permittee shall fulfill all of its individual obligations for projects, studies, and other programs and activities undertaken on behalf of Group through the duration of any such studies, programs, and activities.

If an individual Permittee opts to terminate its obligations under this Agreement consistent with the terms above, the remaining parties will be provided 30 days to determine if they would like to continue to participate in the Agreement.

C. Participation and Program Costs

1. It is acknowledged that each of the parties will pay the Group Lead through individual, agency-specific contracts and that the Group Lead will submit payment to CASQA on behalf of the group as a whole to satisfy the annual membership and OWOW subscription requirements.

2. It is acknowledged that the Regular Areawide MS4 CASQA membership dues and the group OWOW subscription are based on the total group population size and/or the type of permit (Phase I or Phase II).

3. It is acknowledged that CASQA operates on a Calendar year, though the language below will utilize fiscal year arrangements due to most, if not all, permittees operating on fiscal year schedules and billing cycles.

Stanislaus County – San Joaquin County MoA for the Pyrethroid Control Program 4 4. The Agreement will begin April 2026 and remain in place until formally amended or repealed by the parties.

5. All CASQA group membership, OWOW group subscription, and LWA Group Lead costs shall be allocated amongst the permittees. The OWOW Orders and any jurisdiction specific assistance shall be allocated directly to the applicable Permittees.

E. Attorney’s Fees; Venue; Governing Law
If any party commences any legal action against another party arising out of this Agreement or the performance hereof, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover its reasonable litigation expenses, including but not limited to, court costs, expert witness fees, discovery expenses, and attorney’s fees. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

F. Modification
This Agreement and each provision contained herein may be waived, amended, supplemented or eliminated only by mutual written agreement of the parties.

G. Severability
If any of the provisions contained in this Agreement are for any reason held invalid or unenforceable, such holding shall not affect the remaining provisions or the validity and enforceability of the Agreement as a whole.

Submitted by: Kathleen Cleek, Capital Projects/Regulatory Compliance Manager

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a Resolution adopting a list of projects for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 funded by SB 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

SUMMARY
On April 28, 2017, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill (SB) 1, which is known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. The primary focus of the Bill is to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on both the state highways and local streets and roads system. Prior to receiving new Fiscal Year apportionments of Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funds from the California State Controller, the city must adopt a list of projects proposed to be funded with these funds by resolution and submitted to the State by July 1 of each year.

The City is projected to receive $732,047 in RMRA funding for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 from SB

1. The City’s approximate balance at the end of Fiscal Year 2025-2026 will be $92,571. The total amount the City will have available for projects is $824,618.

For Fiscal Year 2026-2027 the projects the City has scheduled for this year are as follows:

1. Panorama Road & Lynch Road Overlay and Storm Drain Improvements Estimated Project Schedule Start 5/2026 and Complete 7/2027 Estimated Cost $550,000

2. Patch Truck
Estimated Cost of Equipment - $200,000 – Purchase 7/2026

3. Crosswalk Lighting Improvements – Various Locations
Estimated Project Cost - $10,000

Item 9.5. - CC / LRA – 4/14/2026

4. Bike Lane Striping Throughout City – Various Locations Estimated Project Cost - $64,678

STRATEGIC PLAN
Recommendation for approval of the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 list of roads to be maintained is in line with the 2025-2030 City Council Strategic Plan Goal to improve Infrastructure by evaluating aging infrastructure to rehabilitate and Support Public Safety by improving intersections for safety and installing lighting and traffic control measures at key locations

BACKGROUND

FINANCIAL IMPACT
SB-1 Streets & Roads funded projects totaling approximately $732,047.

The RMRA funds do require a Maintenance of Effort (MOE) from the City based on General Fund spending for street, road and highway purposes. City staff is continuing to work with the State to comply with the MOE requirements.

Meeting Date: 4/14/2026
Subject: Resolution to Award Contract for Jacob Myers Park Food Vendors to Ice Ice Baby Ice Cream
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Michael Patton, Director of Parks & Recreation

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider awarding a contract to Ice Ice Baby Ice Cream to sell food items and products at Jacob Myers Park for the 2026 season.

SUMMARY
The City of Riverbank Parks and Recreation Department is seeking to provide responsible and qualified vendors to sell food products at Jacob Myers Park for the 2026 season. Doing so would add value to the park by providing a feature that park users can enjoy and generate additional revenue through charging rent and receiving a portion of the vendor’s gross revenue.

STRATEGIC PLAN
According to the City of Riverbank Parks and Recreation Master Plan approved by City Council, to fund the goals, objectives, and priorities outlined throughout, the City should create partnerships with “government entities, public agencies, or private businesses. Partners jointly develop revenueproducing park and recreation facilities and share risk, operational costs, responsibilities, and asset management based on the strength of each partner.” Receiving additional revenue would aid in offsetting the operational costs at Jacob Myers Park.

BACKGROUND
On January 12, 2026, the Riverbank Parks and Recreation Department published a request for proposals calling for responsible and qualified vendors to provide food services at Jacob Myers Park during the operational months of April through September. The purposes of doing this are to:
• Limit the total number of food vendors that sell items at the park without permission. In previous years, the park would see multiple vendors capitalize on the popularity and usage of the park. These vendors would take up parking spaces designated for park users and operate in unsafe areas of the park such as fire lanes. This also allows the city to ensure that insured vendors with all of their permits and approvals are on the premises to sell. • Generate additional revenue for the park. In providing this service and limiting the number of vendors, the city is seeking to charge a monthly flat rate rent to be able to park their operations in the park. The City will also be charging a percentage of the vendor’s total revenue. These charges are to support the operations of the park.

Item 9.6. - CC / LRA – 4/14/2026
• Create additional value in the park. Providing an approved vendor to sell food products creates an additional amenity for park users to enjoy during their visit. It also creates a sense of trust from park users that the business has been approved by the city, county, and local health departments to be able to sell edible products.

With the release of the request for proposals, the city hosted a site visit with all interested vendors on February 4th, 2026 to show the park, locations of vendor set up, and address any questions that interested vendors may have. The Parks and Recreation Department accepted proposals until March 4, 2026, at 5:00 PM. The Parks and Recreation Director and staff reviewed proposals based on how each proposal fully met the requirements outlined in the RFP, including obtaining the necessary permits and licenses, providing insurance, a copy of the of their application with a listed menu, etc.

After review, the proposals were presented to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee for review and a recommendation on March 18th, 2026. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee motioned (4-0) to recommend Ice Ice Baby Ice Cream to be the selected food vendor for Jacob Myers Park. The contract has been agreed upon between the vendor and the department. The contract is available to the City Council for approval.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The approval of the contract for Ice Ice Baby Ice Cream will generate revenue for Jacob Myers Park.

The terms of the contract are $200.00 per month to be paid to the City of Riverbank for a flat rate rent. The party also agreed upon 5% of the vendor’s gross revenue to be paid to the City by the first day of each month. The terms of this contract are from May 2026 to September 2026.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.1.

SECTION : NEW BUSINESS
Meeting Date: 4/14/2026
Subject: Resolution Ratifying the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District Ordinance No. 2026-16, adopted on February 11, 2026, as required under Health and Safety Code section 13869.7
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Joshua Mann, Director of Community Development

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt a Resolution ratifying Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District Ordinance No. 2026-16 adopting the 2025 California Fire Code with local amendments to be applicable within the City of Riverbank, find the action exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15321 and the Common Sense Exemption under Section 15061(b)(3), and direct staff to take all actions necessary to implement the City Council’s action.

SUMMARY
Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District provides fire protection and fire code enforcement services within the City of Riverbank. In that capacity, the Fire District adopted Ordinance No. 2026- 16 adopting the 2025 California Fire Code together with local amendments tailored to local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions within its jurisdiction.

The ordinance includes administrative provisions and amendments addressing matters such as fire access, hydrants, premises identification, fire protection systems, hazardous materials, vegetation abatement, fireworks and enforcement. These provisions are intended to support consistent fire prevention standards, plan review, inspections, permit administration and enforcement throughout the Fire District’s service area, including within the City of Riverbank.

The City’s action is not to separately adopt the fire code text by ordinance. Instead, the proposed action is adoption of a City Resolution ratifying the Fire District’s ordinance as adopted by the District Board. Ratification by the City Council is required for the ordinance to become effective within the City and provides a clear local record supporting administration and enforcement of the updated fire code regulations within Riverbank.

Ratification of the Fire District ordinance helps maintain consistency between the fire and life safety standards enforced by the Fire District and the City’s local regulatory framework. It also supports continued coordination between the City and the Fire District regarding fire code plan review, inspections, operational permits, and enforcement activities within Riverbank.

Item 10.1. - CC / LRA – 4/14/2026

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15321 relating to actions by regulatory agencies for the adoption of ordinances and regulations to implement state law. In addition, the action is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that ratification of the Fire District ordinance will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable physical change in the environment.

STRATEGIC PLAN
This item is consistent with the City’s Strategic Plan goals related to public safety, effective governance, and delivery of high-quality municipal services. Ratification of the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District’s 2025 California Fire Code ordinance helps ensure that fire prevention and life safety regulations applicable within Riverbank remain current, locally responsive, and aligned with State law. This action also supports coordinated service delivery between the City and the Fire District by providing a clear and consistent regulatory framework for fire code plan review, inspections, permit administration and enforcement within the City.

BACKGROUND
The purpose of this item is for the City Council to consider adoption of a Resolution ratifying Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District Ordinance No. 2026-16. The Fire District adopted the ordinance to adopt the 2025 California Fire Code together with local amendments applicable within the District’s service area, including the City of Riverbank. Adoption of the proposed Resolution will formally ratify the Fire District’s ordinance for application within the City and help ensure that fire prevention and life safety regulations enforced in Riverbank remain current and consistent with State law and the Fire District’s adopted standards.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no immediate fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund beyond normal staff time associated with coordination and implementation. Fire code administration, permit processing, inspections, and enforcement will continue to be carried out by Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District in accordance with its adopted ordinance, fee schedule, and applicable service authority.

Exhibit A – Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District Ordinance No. 2026- 16

STANISLAUS CONSOLIDATED FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
ORDINANCE NO. 2026-16
ORDINANCE FOR ADOPTION OF THE 2025 CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE

AND PROVIDING THE MODIFICATION THEREOF
An ordinance of the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District adopting the 2025 edition of the California Fire Code, regulating and governing the safeguarding of life and property from fire and explosion hazards arising from the storage, handling and use of hazardous substances, materials and devices, and from conditions hazardous to life or property in the occupancy of buildings and premises in the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District; providing for the issuance of permits and collection of fees therefore; repealing Ordinance No. 13 of the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District and all other ordinances and parts of the ordinances in conflict therewith.

Findings and Adoption of the 2025 California Fire Code
The Board of Directors of the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District does ordain as follows:

1. That the International Code Council is a private organization, which has been in existence for at least Fifteen (15) years.

2. That the California Fire Code, 2025 Edition, and 2025 California Fire Code Standards, published by said organization, are nationally recognized compilations of proposed rules, regulations, and standards of said organization;

3. That said 2025 California Fire Code and Fire Code Standards have been printed and published as a code in book form within the meaning of Section 50022.2 et seq., of the Government Code;

4. That one (1) copy of the 2025 California Fire Code and one (1) copy of the International Fire Code Standards, certified by the Clerk to be true copies, have been adopted by reference Appendix Chapter 4, and Appendices B, BB, C, CC, D, E, F, G, H, I, N and P with errata, have been filed for use and examination by the public in the oƯice of the Clerk;

5. The adoption of secondary codes. The current edition of the National Fire Codes published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is adopted as a secondary code and by this reference is incorporated herein as though set forth in full.

6. That the sections of said 2025 California Fire Code and California Fire Code Standards may be referred to by the number used in said published compilation, preceded by the words "California Fire Code Section" or "Fire Code Section" and may also be referred to by additional reference to Municipal Code and sections therein pertaining to said 2025 California Fire Code and Fire Code Standards;

7. That the additional requirements and standards established herein are needed to properly protect the health, safety, and welfare of the existing and future residents and workers of the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District;

8. Said requirements and standards are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions, and comply with existing state laws and regulations.

9. That the Board is informed and finds that it is reasonably necessary to amend certain portions of the 2025 California Fire Code to meet the particular local, climatic, geological and/or topographical conditions existing in the District and provide more stringent standards for fire extinguishing systems, fire hazard and hazardous materials controls as necessary to serve the public interest by reducing the risk to life and property of the citizens of Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District because of the following conditions:
(a) Summer weather conditions are very dry, hot and windy, causing ordinary combustibles to be easily ignited and fires to be fast spreading;
(b) Very dense fog conditions occur in winter. Reduced visibility causes delays in fire response; and (c) Fire response is delayed by railroad tracks.

10. Additional amendments, deletions and additions to the 2025 California Fire Code are administrative or procedural in nature and reasonable and necessary to safeguard life and property within the District.

Therefore, for the above reasons taken individually and cumulatively and in accordance with the authority granted in Sections 17958.5 and 17958.7 of the California Health and Safety Code, the Board of the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District expressly finds there are local climatic and topographical conditions that make the increased fire protection requirements set forth in this article reasonably necessary.

Any and all amendments herein are permitted and authorized by the organizations and associations publishing the 2025 California Fire Code and the secondary codes and publications.

The 2025 California Building Code, Title 24, California Code of Regulations, Part 9 (California Fire Code), incorporating the International Fire Code, 2024 Edition, with errata, published by the International Code Council, including Chapter 1 with Divisions I and II but deleting Sections 112.1 through 112.4 and adopting Sections 104.1, 303, 305, 306, 307, 308.1.6, 309, 311, 321, 403.10.5, 503, 510.3, 805, 806, 807, 808, 1103.2, 1106, and chapter 26, save and except such portions as hereinafter deleted, modified, or amended, are hereby adopted pursuant to the District’s powers provided for in the California Constitution, Article 11, Section 7, to legislate for the public health and safety.
