SUBJECT: Council approval of two agreements with Rural Development Centers for billboard leasing
Recommendation:

Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-36, approving two agreements with Rural Development Centers for the lease of a billboard to promote activities funded through the California Highway Patrol Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program for Fiscal Years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027.

Executive Summary:

The City of San Joaquin was awarded funding through the CHP Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program for Fiscal Years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027. The City has entered into agreements with Rural Development Centers (RDC) to assist with implementing educational and community outreach activities supported by the grant funds.

In partnership with the City, RDC organizes interactive and educational activities designed to increase awareness of the effects and dangers of substance use and impaired driving. These activities include the use of Fatal Vision Goggles and electric golf carts to provide participants with a hands-on demonstration of the effects of intoxication on motor coordination, decisionmaking, and reaction time.

RDC also organizes educational workshops and peer mentoring sessions for parents and adults.

These sessions focus on recognizing signs of substance abuse, promoting healthy communication, and establishing appropriate boundaries with children and youth.

As part of these outreach efforts, RDC has provided the City with access to a billboard to promote educational events, workshops, and other grant-funded activities. The agreements presented for Council consideration cover two consecutive grant-funded fiscal-year periods.

The first agreement covers December 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, at a monthly rate of $1,500, for a total cost of $10,500. The second agreement covers July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, at a monthly rate of $1,500, for a total cost of $18,000.

The billboard lease expense is an eligible grant expenditure under the CHP Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program and will be funded with the respective fiscal-year grant funds. 8 RESOLUTION NO. 2026-36
