Agenda packet, regular meeting — Shafter City Council, September 16, 2025 (part 2 of 3)

City of Shafter Cross-Connection Control Management Plan (CCCMP) City of Shafter CCCMP – June 2025 2-2

4. if backflow from a user’s premises occurs;

5. periodically, as identified in the City’s CCCMP required pursuant to State CCCPH section 3.1.4;

6. if the State Water Board requests a hazard assessment of a user’s premises; or

7. if the City concludes an existing hazard assessment may no longer accurately represent the degree of hazard.
f. A Cross-Connection Control Program Specialist must review or conduct each initial and follow-up hazard assessment pursuant to this section and make a written finding that, in the specialist’s judgment based on cross-connection control principles, the City’s hazard assessment properly identified all hazards at the time of the assessment, the appropriate degree of hazards, and the corresponding backflow protection.

2.2 Hazard Assessment Process
In order to assess each connection in the City’s water distribution system for potential cross connection the City will undertake assessments in the following phases. As part of the hazard assessment process the City has created a tracking system for the assessments made under the CCCMP, see CCCMP Appendix F.

Data will be gathered and logged into the assessment database in three phases. The assessment database record keeping policy is outlined in the CCCMP Section 9 and this is a new requirement so is not in the City’s Records Retention Policy.  Phase 1 - All connections with existing backflow prevention assemblies at the meter connection
 Phase 2 - All non-residential connections without backflow prevention assemblies at the meter connection
 Phase 3 – Residential connections without backflow prevention assemblies at the meter connection

2.2.1 Phase 1 - All Connections with Backflow Protection The City currently has, as of May 14, 2025, 575 connections with backflow protection installed at the meter. For all connections with backflow protection the City will enter each address into the assessment tracking system indicating what type of BPA has been installed. The City’s Cross-Connection Control Program Specialist will review the data when entered into the assessment database to verify that an appropriate BPA has been installed on the meter connection. The Cross-Connection Control Program Specialist’s review date will be noted in the assessment database.

The City currently has 575 connections with backflow protection within the City. Based on the availability of the Cross-Connection Control Project Specialist the City has determined that this phase of the assessments can be completed within fourteen (14) years from the adoption of the City’s CCCMP.

City of Shafter Cross-Connection Control Management Plan (CCCMP) City of Shafter CCCMP – June 2025 2-3
It is assumed that a Cross-Connection Control Program Specialist can process (1) site per available (2) hours, and the total number of annual Cross-Connection Control Program Specialist available hours is 85 hours/yr [5% of total annual 1,704 hours (2,080 total annual work hours - 24 hours for Floating holidays - 96 hours for City holidays - 120 hours for vacation - 96 hours for sick time - 40 hours for jury duty)] for a total of 42 sites per year per Cross-Connection Control Program Specialists assigned by the City to Cross-Connection Control. Therefore, the City will process up to 42 sites per year until all connections with an approved BPA have been assessed.

2.2.2 Phase 2 - All Non-Residential Connections without Backflow Protection The City currently has, as of May 14, 2025, 196 non-residential connections without backflow protection installed at the meter. For those non-residential connections without an approved BPA the City will provide a Site Assessment Form to provide information regarding onsite conditions which would necessitate the installation of an approved BPA at the meter connection.

The site assessment form to be completed by City staff may be found in CCCMP Appendix G.

It is assumed that a Cross-Connection Control Program Specialist can process (5) Site Assessment Forms per available hour, and the total number of annual Cross-Connection Control Program Specialist available hours is 85 hours/yr [5% of total annual 1,704 hours (2,080 total annual work hours - 24 hours for Floating holidays - 96 hours for City holidays - 120 hours for vacation - 96 hours for sick time - 40 hours for jury duty)] for a total of 425 Site Assessment Forms per year per Cross-Connection Control Program Specialists assigned by the City to Cross-Connection Control. It is also assumed that approximately (10%) of the non-residential Site Assessment Forms will be returned per distribution. Therefore, the City will distribute up to 4,250 Site Assessment Forms per year until all non-residential connections without an approved BPA have been assessed.
 If the Cross-Connection Control Program Specialist determines that based on the Site Assessment Form that an approved BPA is not required, they will note that in the assessment database and the reason for not requiring an approved BPA.  If the Cross-Connection Control Program Specialist determines that based on the Site Assessment Form that an approved BPA is required, they will note that in the assessment database and notify the non-residential customer that an approved BPA must be installed at the meter connection and note that determination in the assessment database.

The City has determined that this phase of the assessments can be completed within one (1) year from the completion of Phase 1.

If necessary, the City will follow up with the non-residential customers.

Phase 3 – Residential Connections without Backflow Protection The City currently has, as of May 14, 2025, 4,489 residential connections without backflow protection installed at the meter. For those residential connections the City will assess each site by means of office-based tools such as:
 City will utilize GIS system, and have excel spreadsheets available to export, and create an attribute for Specialist to sign, per each physical address or every meter. The following will supplement:
o Reviewing sites via Google Maps or other aerial photography software. o Reviewing tract maps to review blocks of residential customer in a common building area or zone.
o Using meter route maps or other billing information databases.

The office-based assessment will review sites for:
 Private water wells
 Other auxiliary water supplies
 Sewer lift stations
 Graywater systems
 Pools
The office-based assessments would be conducted based on the available Cross-Connection Control Program Specialist hours to review the office-based databases and/or files.  If the Cross-Connection Control Program Specialist determines that based on the officebased assessment that an approved BPA is not required, they will note that in the assessment database.
 If the Cross-Connection Control Program Specialist determines that based on the officebased that an approved BPA is required, they will note that in the assessment database and notify the residential customer that an approved BPA must be installed at the meter connection and note that the customer has been contacted in the assessment database.

It is assumed that a Cross-Connection Control Program Specialist can perform assessments by means of office-based tools. Assuming that the total number of annual Cross-Connection Control Program Specialist available hours is 85 hours/yr [5% of total annual 1,704 hours (2,080 total annual work hours - 24 hours for Floating holidays - 96 hours for City holidays - 120 hours for vacation - 96 hours for sick time - 40 hours for jury duty)], and the Cross-Connection Control Program Specialist can review ten (10) sites per hour, therefore 850 residential sites can be assessed per year.

Based on the 4,489 residential connections without backflow protection installed at the meter, as of May 14, 2025, the City has determined that this phase of the assessments can be completed within five (5) years and three (3) months from the completion of Phase 2.

If necessary, the City will follow up with the residential customers.

10 User Supervisors
In accordance with the State CCCPH, Section 3.2.2 (3)(f),The State Water Board and City may, at their discretion, require a water user to designate a user supervisor when the user premises has a multi-piping system that conveys various types of fluids and where changes in the piping system are frequently made. If a user supervisor is designated the following is required:
(1) The user supervisor is responsible for the avoidance of cross-connections during the installation, operation and maintenance of the water user’s pipelines and equipment. The user supervisor must be trained on the fluids used and backflow protection for the premise, and must inform the City of changes in piping, and maintain current contact information on file with the City; and
(2) The City must include in the CCCMP required in CCCPH Section 3.1.4 the training and qualification requirements for user supervisors if required by the State Water Board or City, identify the entity that will provide the user supervisor training, and frequency of any necessary recurring training. The training must adequately address the types of hazards and concerns typically found.

The City has not required any user supervisors for use sites within the City.

11 Backflow Prevention Assembly Testing and Reporting
In accordance with the State CCCPH, Section 3.1.3 (a)(6) – the City must ensure that each BPA required by the CCCMP to protect the City’s domestic water system is field tested. The City must develop and implement a procedure for ensuring all BPAs are field tested, inspected, and maintained and AG’s are inspected and maintained in accordance with the State CCCPH, Section 3.3.3.

1. All BPAs installed in the City in compliance with it CCCMP must be field tested following installation, repair, depressurization for winterizing, or permanent relocation. All required field testing must be performed by certified backflow prevention assembly tester.

2. BPAs must be field tested at least annually. The State CCCPH does not preclude the City, the State Water Board, or a local health agency from requiring more frequent field testing for premises with high hazard cross-connection or BPA at increased risk of testing failure.

3. Air-gap separations must be visually inspected at least annually by a certified backflow prevention assembly tester or certified as a Cross-Connection Control Program Specialist.

4. The City must receive passing field tests before providing continuous service to a water user with a newly installed BPA.

5. BPAs that fail the field test must be repaired or replaced within 30 days of notification of the failure by the City. Extensions may be allowed by the City if low hazard and customer is working with City to replace.

Backflow prevention assembly testers must notify the City within one day if a backflow incident or an unprotected cross-connection is observed at the BPA or prior to the user premises during field testing. The City will immediately investigate and discontinue service to the user premises if a backflow incident is confirmed, and water service will not be restored to that user premises until the City receives a confirmation of a passing BPA field test from a backflow prevention assembly tester and the assembly is protecting the City.

11.1 Backflow Testing Notification Process
For each BPA in the City’s water distribution system, an annual notice that the BPA must be tested in accordance with the CCCMP will be sent to the user by BSI via mail.

Upon receipt, the Owner will have 30 days to have the BPA tested by a certified backflow assembly tester, and the test results submitted to the City via BSI Online.

Page 171 of 318 ends

City of Shafter Cross-Connection Control Management Plan (CCCMP) City of Shafter CCCMP – June 2025 11-2
Each water user with a BPA on the service connection must comply with the following schedule in order to be in compliance with the CCCMP and continue to receive water service from the City.
 First notice – the first annual notice of BPA testing required is sent to the user. First notices are sent out by BSI to all premises with BPA via mail. Users then have 30 days to respond via BSI Online.
 Second notice – if not resolved after 30 days from the date the first notice was sent to the user; a second notice will be sent to the user by BSI via mail. Users then have 15 days to respond via BSI Online.
 Third notice– if not resolved after 15 days from the date the second notice was sent to the user; a third notice will be sent to the user by BSI via mail with a shutoff notice. How long to respond and how to respond (return mail, email, both?). Users then have 30 days to respond via BSI Online.
 Fourth notice – if not resolved after 30 days from the date the third notice was sent to the user; City staff will install a door hangar with 72 hours notice to turnoff.  Termination of water service – if the user fails to provide the required test results 72 hours after the final notice; the water service will be terminated.

11.2 Damaged, missing, or improperly installed backflow prevention assemblies.

In the event that a backflow prevention assembly is missing (or stolen), installed incorrectly, illegally modified, or tampered with, the City will notify the user that the BPA is missing (or stolen), installed incorrectly, illegally modified, or tampered with, and provide them 30 days to replace, repair, or re-install the BPA.

Although no written standard operating procedure exists, BPAs that fail the field test must be repaired or replaced within 30 days of notification of the failure by the City. Extensions may be allowed by the City if low hazard and customer is working with City to replace.

Appendix A
Background on Backflow Protection and Cross-Connection Control A.1 What is a Cross-Connection?
A cross-connection is an interconnection between a potable water supply and a non- potable source via any actual or potential connection or structural arrangement between a PWS and any source or distribution system containing liquid, gas, or other substances not from an approved water supply. Bypass arrangements, jumper connections, removable sections, swivel or change-over devices and other temporary or permanent devices through which, or because of which backflow can occur are considered to be cross-connections.1 The State CCCPH includes acceptable installation criteria for swivel-ell and other types of backflow prevention assemblies (BPAs) to prevent backflow.

Backflow is the undesired or unintended reversal of flow of water and/or other liquids, gases, or other substances into a PWS’s distribution system or approved water supply.

The presence of a cross-connection represents a location in a distribution system through which backflow of contaminants or pollutants can occur. Backflow occurs when a non-potable source is at a greater pressure than the potable water distribution system. Backflow can occur from either backsiphonage or backpressure. Backsiphonage occurs when a non-potable source enters the drinking water supply due to negative (i.e., sub-atmospheric) distribution system pressure. Backpressure occurs when the pressure from a non-potable source exceeds the pressure in the potable water distribution system.

Backsiphonage may be caused by a variety of circumstances, such as main breaks, flushing, pump failure, or emergency firefighting water demand. Backpressure may occur when heating, cooling, waste disposal, or industrial manufacturing systems are connected to potable supplies and the pressure in the external system exceeds the pressure in the distribution system. Both situations act to change the direction of water, which normally flows from the distribution system to the customer, so that non-potable substances from industrial, commercial, or residential premises flows back into the distribution system through a cross-connection.

Cross-connections are not limited to industrial or commercial facilities. Submerged inlets are found on many common plumbing fixtures and are sometimes necessary features of the fixtures if they are to function properly. Examples of this type of design are siphon-jet urinals or water closets, flushing rim slop sinks, and dental cuspidors.

Older bathtubs and lavatories may have supply inlets below the flood level rims, but modern sanitary design has minimized or eliminated this cross-connection in new fixtures. Chemical and industrial process vats sometimes have submerged inlets where the water pressure is used as an aid in diffusion, dispersion, and agitation of the vat contents. Even though a supply pipe may be installed above a vat, backsiphonage can still occur. Siphon action has been shown to raise a liquid in a pipe such as water almost 34 feet. Some submerged inlets are difficult to control, including those which are not apparent until a significant change in water level occurs or where

Page 176 of 318 ends

City of Shafter Cross-Connection Control Management Plan (CCCMP) City of Shafter CCCMP – June 2025
a supply may be conveniently extended below the liquid surface by means of a hose or auxiliary piping. A submerged inlet may be created in numerous ways, and its detection may be difficult.

Chemical and biological contaminants have caused illness and deaths during known incidents of backflow, with contamination affecting several service connections, and the number of incidents reported is believed to be a small percentage of the total number of backflow incidents that actually occur. The public health risk from cross-connections and backflow is a function of a variety of factors including cross-connection and backflow occurrence and type and amount of contaminants.

A.2 Purpose of a Cross-Connection Control Program
The purpose of a cross-connection control program is to prevent the occurrence of backflow into a PWS’s distribution system in order to protect customers from contamination or pollution from any on-site hazards. Properly installed and maintained BPAs, devices or methods provide protection against the threat posed by many conditions typically found on a user’s premise.

The use of approved BPAs ensures that the appropriate performance evaluation of the assembly was conducted. It is important and required by the State CCCPH to select and properly install an approved BPA that is capable of protecting the distribution system from the hazard identified.

The success of a program depends on individuals that are knowledgeable about crossconnection control to identify actual and potential hazards, apply principles of backflow protection and prevention, and implement cross-connection control policies and procedures. A successful program will have ongoing surveillance of a PWS to ensure BPAs, devices or methods are working and identify new hazards or changes in the distribution system. Certified specialists are needed to properly evaluate the degree of hazard that exists in the distribution system. Hazards typically identified in distribution systems along with the required level of protection are specified in Chapter 3 of the State CCCPH.

A.3 Notes on Applicability of the Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook The State CCCPH provides the basis for regulating the use and management of crossconnection control programs and BPAs in PWSs, and related requirements for supporting programs and policies. Activities or uses outside of the scope of the authority of the State Water Board to regulate PWSs are not regulated by the State CCCPH, including California Plumbing Code requirements and definitions not related to PWSs.

Recycled water cross-connection control installations and programs for the purposes of protecting the recycled water supply are not regulated by the State CCCPH, although a PWS that uses recycled water is regulated by the State CCCPH to ensure that a PWS’s drinking water system has adequate backflow protection from a recycled water system.

Water systems that do not meet the definition of a PWS (e.g., “State Small Water Systems” under CCR Title 22, Article 3) are not regulated by the CCCPH, although they may need to comply with the California Plumbing Code, local health agencies, and other laws or entities. __________________________________________

An act to amend Section 116810 of, and to add Sections 116407 and 116555.5 to, the Health and Safety Code, relating to drinking water. [Approved by Governor October 6, 2017. Filed with Secretary of State October 6, 2017.]
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 1671, Caballero. Backflow protection and cross-connection controls:
standards.
(1) Existing law, the California Safe Drinking Water Act, requires the State Water Resources Control Board to administer provisions relating to the regulation of drinking water to protect public health, including, but not limited to, conducting research, studies, and demonstration projects relating to the provision of a dependable, safe supply of drinking water, enforcing the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, adopting regulations, and conducting studies and investigations to assess the quality of private domestic water wells. Existing law makes certain violations of the act a misdemeanor.

Existing law requires any person who owns a public water system to ensure that the system does certain things, including, but not limited to, that it will not be subject to backflow under normal operating conditions. Existing law, to ensure that testing and maintenance of backflow prevention devices are performed by persons qualified to do testing and maintenance, authorizes local health officers to maintain programs for certification of backflow prevention device testers and requires the certification program to be consistent with backflow protection regulations adopted by the state board. A violation of these provisions, or an order by a local health officer pursuant to these provisions, is a misdemeanor.

This bill would require a public water system to implement a crossconnection control program that complies with, and would require the certification program to be consistent with, applicable regulations and the standards described in (2).
(2) Existing regulations establish standards for a backflow prevention device and cross-connection control.

This bill, on or before January 1, 2020, would require the state board to adopt standards for backflow protection and cross-connection control and would authorize the state board to do so through the adoption of a policy handbook, as specified. By authorizing the state board to adopt standards, the violation of which would be a crime, the bill would create a new crime and impose a state-mandated local program.

(3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1. Section 116407 is added to the Health and Safety Code, to read:
116407. (a) On or before January 1, 2020, the state board shall adopt standards for backflow protection and cross-connection control.
(b) The state board may implement subdivision (a) through the adoption of a policy handbook that is not subject to the requirements of Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code. The policy handbook shall include standards for backflow protection and cross-connection control. In developing the standards and any amendments to those standards, the state board shall consult with state and local agencies and other persons whom the state board has identified as having expertise in the subject of backflow protection and cross-connection control.

The state board shall hold at least two public hearings before adopting the policy handbook. The policy handbook shall be posted on the board’s Internet Web site. (c) (1) Upon the effective date of a policy handbook adopted by the state board pursuant to subdivision (b), the regulations set forth in Article 1 (commencing with Section 7583) and Article 2 (commencing with Section 7601) of Group 4 of Subchapter 1 of Chapter 5 of Division 1 of Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations shall become inoperative, and, 90 days thereafter, are repealed, unless the state board makes a determination not to repeal a specific regulation. (2) If the state board determines not to repeal a specific regulation pursuant to paragraph (1), the state board shall provide to the Office of Administrative Law and the Secretary of State written notice of its determination, including identification of the specific regulation that is not repealed. That regulation, upon the provision of that written notice to the Office of Administrative Law and the Secretary of State, shall become operative.

SEC. 2. Section 116555.5 is added to the Health and Safety Code, to read:
116555.5. A public water system shall implement a cross-connection control program that complies with applicable regulations and with standards adopted by the board pursuant to Section 116407.

SEC. 3. Section 116810 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to read:
116810. To ensure that testing and maintenance of backflow prevention devices are performed by persons qualified to do testing and maintenance, 94

Page 180 of 318 ends

City of Shafter Cross-Connection Control Management Plan (CCCMP) City of Shafter CCCMP – June 2025
— 3 — Ch. 533
local health officers may maintain programs for certification of backflow prevention device testers. The local health officer may suspend, revoke, or refuse to renew the certificate of a tester, if, after a hearing before the local health officer or his or her designee, the local health officer or his or her designee finds that the tester has practiced fraud or deception or has displayed gross negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duties as a certified backflow prevention device tester. The local health officer may collect fees from certified testers to offset the cost of the certification program provided pursuant to this section. The certification standards shall be consistent with standards adopted by the state board pursuant to Section 116407 and any other applicable backflow protection regulations.

SEC. 4. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution.

legislative counsel’s digest
AB 1180, Friedman. Water: recycled water.
(1) Existing law, the California Safe Drinking Water Act, requires the State Water Resources Control Board to administer provisions relating to the regulation of drinking water to protect public health. Existing law requires, on or before January 1, 2020, the state board to adopt standards for backflow protection and cross-connection control through the adoption of a policy handbook, as specified.

This bill would require that handbook to include provisions for the use of a swivel or changeover device to supply potable water to a dual-plumbed system during an interruption in recycled water service.
(2) Existing law requires the state board to establish uniform statewide recycling criteria for each varying type of use of recycled water where the use involves the protection of public health.

This bill would require the state board, on or before January 1, 2023, as specified, to update the uniform statewide criteria for nonpotable recycled water uses.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) On December 11, 2018, the State Water Resources Control Board unanimously adopted an amendment to the policy for water quality control for recycled water, which included a goal to increase the use of recycled water in the state from 714,000 acre-feet per year in 2015 to 1,500,000 acre-feet per year by 2020 and 2,500,000 acre-feet per year by 2030.
(b) Section 13521 of the Water Code requires the state board to establish uniform statewide recycling criteria for each varying type of use of recycled water where the use involves the protection of public health.
(c) The regulations establishing the uniform statewide criteria for recycled water uses are set forth in Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 60301.050) of Division 4 of Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations. The regulations that pertain to nonpotable recycled water uses have not been updated since 2000. 95

Swivel-Ell Design and Construction Criteria
The criteria below, in conjunction with the swivel-ell diagrams that follow (Diagrams A and B), are minimum acceptable design and construction-related requirements for utilizing a swivelell. For restrictions and allowances for utilizing a swivel-ell, see CCCPH section 3.2.2.

A. Prior to operation of a swivel-ell, the PWS will receive approval for the design and construction plans of that swivel-ell from the State Water Board.

B. The drinking water supply must not, under any circumstances, be directly connected to the recycled water supply, nor be designed such that the recycled water use site could be supplied concurrently by a recycled water supply and a drinking water supply.

C. The drinking water supply line and the recycled water supply line must be offset (see Diagram 9b) in a manner that ensures a tee-connection, spool, or other prefabricated mechanical appurtenance(s) could not be readily utilized in lieu of the swivel-ell connection, nor result in the recycled water use site being supplied concurrently by recycled water and drinking water.

D. The recycled water supply line used in conjunction with the swivel-ell must be the only recycled water supply to the recycled water use area.

E. The swivel-ell must be located as close as practical to the public water system service connection, with the swivel-ell connection being located as close as practical to the RP upstream of the swivel-ell.

F. The swivel-ell must:

1. be located above ground;

2. be color-coded pursuant to section 116815 of the CHSC and its implementing regulations;

3. include appropriate signage, as required by regulation and the State Water Board;

4. be provided the security necessary to prevent interconnections, vandalism, unauthorized entry, etc.; and

5. be provided with meters on both the recycled water service and drinking water service connections.

CITY OF SHAFTER

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 16, 2025
DEPARTMENT: Marcos Torres, Deputy Public Works Director SUBJECT: WATER METER AND METER BOX PURCHASE FOR METER
RETROFIT PROJECT (CIP NO. WA00007) APPROVAL

RECOMMENDATION
Council find the action is not defined as a “project” per Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines; accept a cost proposal for purchasing 429 residential water meter assemblies from Badger Meter totaling $156,004.92 (Quotation No. 3801729); accept two (2) proposals for meter boxes and lids; approve one (1) proposal submitted by Core and Main for said meter boxes and lids valued at $21,582.99 (Bid No. 4405292); and authorize the Deputy Public Works Director to issue a purchase order for the water meter assemblies, boxes, and lids, at a total cost of $177,587.91

BACKGROUND
The City maintains an ongoing Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project to replace and upgrade water meters. The program supports state reporting requirements and improves operational and water-use efficiency. The customers also benefit from improved accuracy of meter reads. This project is part of the City's phased effort to transition to Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) technology, which improves operational efficiency by enabling remote reads, early leak detection, and better customer engagement. This phase upgrades 429 water meters and boxes across both core and outlying service areas.

Authorized vendors have recently submitted cost proposals for supplying the equipment needed for these replacements. The first quote was submitted by Core and Main at a total cost of $21,582.99. The second was submitted by Ferguson Waterworks at a total cost of $22,207.90. Core and Main submitted the lowest responsive quote and is a previously approved vendor.

Badger Meter submitted a proposal of $156,004.92 for purchasing the water meter assemblies. They are the sole manufacturer and distributor of their product line in California. Accordingly, their proposal qualifies for a sole source purchase.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City's Capital Improvement Program Project No. WA00007 has $375,000.00 programmed for water meter retrofits with sufficient funds remaining. No budget action is required.

WATER METER AND METER BOX PURCHASE FOR METER RETROFIT PROJECT (CIP NO.

WA00007) APPROVAL
- 2 -

CEQA ANALYSIS
The action is not defined as a “project” per Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines because the action is the approval of the purchase of water meters and meter boxes for the meter retrofit project that has already been environmentally cleared and therefore, it is the creation of a governmental funding mechanism or other fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to a specific project that can result in a potentially significant impact and not subject to CEQA.

CITY OF SHAFTER

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 16, 2025
DEPARTMENT: Giovanni Perez, Economic Development Coordinator SUBJECT: DECLARE SURPLUS RAIL MOVER EQUIPMENT

AUTHORIZATION

RECOMMENDATION
Council find the action is not defined as a "project" per Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines; declare the list of equipment in this item as surplus property.

BACKGROUND
As part of the City's ongoing reassessment of property and land uses, Staff identified the need to remove two unused rail car movers currently stored on city land at the Wonderful Logistics Center. These units have been out of service for several years, and given that the City does not plan to operate a rail terminal for its own use, there is no longer a municipal purpose for retaining them. Clearing this equipment is a necessary step in preparing the site for future utilization. The rail movers were originally purchased in 2008 and 2012 and are identified as follows:
• Rail King model RK330, Serial Number RCM-706
• Rail King model RK330 G5, Derial Number RCM932-5

FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact for this item.

CEQA ANALYSIS
The action is not defined as a “project” per Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines because the action is the approval to declare surplus equipment for disposal or sale and therefore, it is organizational and administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment that have not already been previously analyzed and not subject to CEQA.

APPROVED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY
No

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 16, 2025
DEPARTMENT: Giovanni Perez, Economic Development Coordinator SUBJECT: SALE OF TWO RAIL KING RAIL CAR MOVERS AUTHORIZATION

RECOMMENDATION
Council find the action is not defined as a “project” per Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines; approve the sale of two surplus Rail King rail car movers to Pacific West Systems in the amount of $170,000; and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all necessary documents to complete the transaction

BACKGROUND
The two Rail King rail car mover units, originally purchased in 2008 and 2012, were previously utilized for rail operations but have not been in service for several years.

With no municipal rail terminal operations planned, the equipment no longer has a City use and has been declared surplus.

Staff received an offer in July 2025 from Pacific West Systems to purchase both rail car movers for a total of $170,000. The purchase offer is attached to this staff report. Staff reviewed the offer and determined that it reflects a fair and reasonable value for the equipment, given its age and condition.

Surplus Equipment:
• Rail King model RK330, Serial Number RCM-706
• Rail King model RK330 G5, Derial Number RCM932-5
Unless otherwise directed, the sale proceeds will be directed to the City's General Fund.

FISCAL IMPACT
The transaction will generate $170,000 in one-time revenue for the City's general fund for Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

CEQA ANALYSIS
The action is not defined as a “project” per Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines because the action is the approval of the sale of two rail car movers and therefore, it is

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 16, 2025
DEPARTMENT: Johnny Rubio, IT Director
SUBJECT: MICROSOFT OFFICE 365 SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL

APPROVAL

RECOMMENDATION
Council find the action is not defined as a “project” per Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines; approve the renewal of the Microsoft Office 365 annual subscription in the amount of $22,898.04.

BACKGROUND
In 2020, the City secured a five-year Microsoft 365 (Office 365) subscription through AMS.NET using CARES Act funding, as email communications were eligible under program guidelines. Over the term, Microsoft price adjustments have resulted in periodic true-up charges, however, there have been no service interruptions. City Staff rely daily on the Microsoft 365 suite to conduct operations and serve residents.

AMS.NET, now MGT, will continue to provide the annual subscription, which is scheduled to renew on September 23, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT
The $22,989.04 cost for the Microsoft 365 (Office 365) subscription renewal can be accommodated within the current fiscal-year IT budget.

CEQA ANALYSIS
The action is not defined as a “project” per Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines because the action is the approval of a subscription renewal for Microsoft Office 365 and therefore, it is the creation of a governmental funding mechanism or other fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to a specific project that can result in a potentially significant impact and not subject to CEQA.

CITY OF SHAFTER

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 16, 2025
DEPARTMENT: Michael James, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: HIGHWAY-RAIL GRADE CROSSING CLOSURE AGREEMENT

WITH BNSF AND STATE OF CALIFORNIA (BEECH AVENUE)

APPROVAL

RECOMMENDATION
Council find that the project has already been environmentally cleared per CEQA; approve the Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Closure Agreement between the City of Shafter, the State of California Department of Transportation, and BNSF Railway Company for the permanent closure of the Beech Avenue (Los Angeles Avenue) Public Crossing (U.S. DOT No. 028386G); authorize the Public Works Director to execute the agreement on behalf of the City of Shafter; and authorize the City Attorney to make non-substantive modifications to the agreement as needed to finalize execution.

BACKGROUND
On July 15, 2025, the City Council authorized the Public Works Director to submit a “Request for Authority to Alter Highway-Rail Crossings” to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) supporting the closure of the Beech Avenue at-grade crossing in connection with the planned roundabout at Santa Fe Way and Highway 43. Beech Avenue, as a local roadway, will not close, but Caltrans does intend to terminate its access to a state-controlled intersection. Immediately east of the current at-grade crossing, southbound Beech Avenue traffic will be diverted to eastbound Los Angeles Avenue (and vice versa). This arrangement was approved with the intent of enabling the roundabout project to proceed while expressly preserving the potential to restore the roadway connection in the future, contingent upon construction of a gradeseparated crossing.

To implement the physical closure of the at-grade crossing, a separate agreement is now required among the City of Shafter, the State of California (Caltrans), and the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company (BNSF). The proposed HighwayRail Grade Crossing Closure Agreement establishes the terms under which the public crossing identified as U.S. DOT No. 028386G will be permanently vacated and closed.

Although the CPUC application and previous Council actions refer to the location as the Beech Avenue crossing, BNSF designates the same crossing as Los Angeles Avenue due to the roadway’s official name on the east side of the tracks, where Beech Avenue and Los Angeles Avenue merge. Both names reference the same physical crossing and location.

Page 261 of 318 ends

HIGHWAY-RAIL GRADE CROSSING CLOSURE AGREEMENT WITH BNSF AND STATE OF

CALIFORNIA (BEECH AVENUE) APPROVAL
- 2 -
While the new agreement identifies the closure as permanent, the previously approved Request for Authority to Alter Highway-Rail Crossings explicitly allows for a future restoration of the Beech Avenue connection through a grade separation project, subject to environmental review, engineering design, and coordination with BNSF, CPUC, and Caltrans because the City does not have jurisdiction over grade separation projects with railroads and state highways.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with this agreement. Prior expenditures related to the roundabout design and right-of-way acquisition have been funded through a combination of local traffic impact fees and federal grant proceeds. The closure agreement does not impose any new financial obligation on the City and is consistent with the Council's prior direction.

Under the terms of the agreement, BNSF will provide a one-time payment of $100,000 to the State of California in consideration of the permanent closure and vacation of the public crossing at U.S. DOT No. 028386G (Beech Avenue/Los Angeles Avenue). These funds are intended to offset the costs of physical closure work, including removal of roadway approaches and installation of appropriate end-of-road treatments. The City will coordinate with the State to ensure compliance with all provisions of the agreement and will retain responsibility for maintaining the closure signage and barricades following completion of the work.

CEQA ANALYSIS
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the roundabout project at Santa Fe Way and Highway 43, which includes the permanent closure of the Beech Avenue (Los Angeles Avenue) at-grade crossing as a project component. The project has already been environmentally cleared by Caltrans. The City of Shafter, acting as a responsible agency under CEQA, has reviewed the lead agency’s determination and finds that no further environmental review is required.

APPROVED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY
Yes

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 16, 2025
DEPARTMENT: Rogelio Sanchez, Finance Director, Isarel Perez-Hernandez, CMT, Deputy Finance Director
SUBJECT: STATE OF GOOD REPAIRS PROGRAM (SGR) FY 2025-26

PROJECT LIST AND GRANT AWARD RESOLUTION ADOPTION

RECOMMENDATION
Council find action is not defined as a “project” per Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines; adopt Resolution No. 3042, a Resolution Authorizing the Project List for the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Grant Award from the California State of Good Repairs Program and Authorize the City Manager or Designee to Execute Budget Amendments, Grant Agreements, and Authorize the Execution of the Certifications and Assurances Form from the California State of Good Repairs Program.

BACKGROUND
California Department of Transportation administers SB1- State Good Repair (SGR) Program funds, which are made available for capital projects that maintain the public transit system in a state of good repair. The SGR Program is one of two programs that allocate SB1 funds to transit agencies through the State Transit Assistance Formula.

Funds allocated to public transit operators are based on the local needs. The goal of the SGR Program is to provide funding for capital assistance, rehabilitate and modernize California’s existing local transit systems.

Eligible Recipients
According to the California Department of Transportation SGR program guidelines pursuant to PUC Section 99314, the regional entities [KernCOG] shall suballocate funds to:
• Transit operators listed on the SCO’s SGR Allocation Estimate letter. • In addition, pursuant to PUC Section 99313, eligible agencies may participate in the regional process, as determined by the applicable regional entity, and may therefore also be an eligible recipient of PUC Section 99313 funding.

All SGR eligible agencies that are identified in the SCO’s annual SGR Allocation Estimate letter, must prepare and submit a project list to qualify for funding. Eligible recipients prepare and submit their project list to their respective regional entity. The regional entity shall review the project lists as submitted by the SGR eligible agencies in their region. If the projects listed are in compliance with these Guidelines, and no additional information is needed, the regional entity shall forward the project

list(s) to Caltrans for review.

Eligible recipients assume responsibility and accountability for the use and expenditure of SGR funds and must comply with all relevant federal and state laws, regulations, policies and procedures.

Eligible Projects
SGR funds are made available for capital projects that maintain the public transit system in a state of good repair. PUC Section 99212.1 (c) lists the projects eligible for SGR funding as follows:
• Transit capital projects or services to maintain or repair a transit operator’s existing transit vehicle fleet or transit facilities, including the rehabilitation and/or modernization of the existing vehicles or facilities.
• The design, acquisition, and construction of new vehicles or facilities that improve existing transit services.
• Transit services that complement local efforts for repair and improvement of local transportation infrastructure.

Examples include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Replacement or rehabilitation of:
• Rolling stock
• Passenger stations and terminals
• Security equipment and systems
• Maintenance facilities and equipment
• Ferry vessels
• Rail
Transit Preventative Maintenance
• Preventative maintenance is only to maintain existing infrastructure and vehicles in a state of good repair, essentially repair and rehabilitation. Normal maintenance such as oil changes and other regularly scheduled vehicle maintenance are to be covered under the transit agency’s normal operating costs and are not eligible for SGR funding. • Public and Staff Safety
• New transit facilities or equipment needed to maintain existing transit service(s) Project List Scope
The City of Shafter is proposing to utilize the SGR FY 2025-26 estimated amount of $39,921 to construct a Transit Metal Carport near the public works yard. The Shafter transit department has recently replaced its fleet to include electric vans to provide safe, reliable and environmentally friendly transportation services to the community. To ensure the long-term preservation and performance of these vehicles it’s necessary to construct a protective metal carport structure by the public works yard.

Prior to grant award apportionment, the Department of Transportation requires all potential recipient agencies to submit a board resolution and project list to the Department of Transportation prior to receiving their allocation.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City of Shafter would receive grant funds estimated at $39,921.

CEQA ANALYSIS
The action is not defined as a “project” per Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines because the action is approval of a project list and grant award for SGR for a project that will undergo further CEQA analysis and therefore, it is organizational and administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment and not subject to CEQA.

DEPARTMENT: Lance Lippincott, City Manager
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR SUPPORT FROM THE STATE ATTORNEY

GENERAL TO THE CITY OF SHAFTER FOR THE CALIFORNIA

STATE APPLICATION SEEKING FUNDING FROM THE
NATIONAL OPIOID SETTLEMENT WITH PURDUE PHARMA L.P.

RECOMMENDATION
Council find the action is not defined as a “project” per Section 15378(b)(5) of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines; authorize staff to execute all materials necessary to support the State of California application for funding from the Purdue Pharma L.P. opioid settlement.

BACKGROUND
On September 9, 2025, general communications were received from the State Attorney General's Office to inform the City of Shafter that they had not received a commitment of support for the State's application for federal opioid settlement funds. The State anticipates requesting up to $510 million for opiod abatement, with 85% of the abatement funds received by California going directly to cities and counties. Any money not allocated through the national process will be allocated back to the defendants. Kern County is considered an area of high opioid used compared to the California average, and it is likely that the City of Shafter would be well positioned to apply for these funds if the State's application is successful.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to this item.

CEQA ANALYSIS
The action is not defined as a “project” per Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines because the action is approval of a request for support from the state attorney general for a state application and therefore, it is organizational and administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment and not subject to CEQA.

CITY OF SHAFTER

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 16, 2025
DEPARTMENT: Clarisa Olaguez, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 7207 EXTENSION OF TIME

APPROVAL

RECOMMENDATION
Council find the action does not require additional CEQA review; conduct public hearing and adopt Resolution No. 3040, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Shafter, approving a two (2) year extension of time for Tentative Tract Map No. 7207 located between Elizabeth Avenue and West Riverside Street, approximately 1/3 west of South Shafter Avenue, in the City of Shafter, subject to the conditions approved by the City Council on August 18, 2009, to now expire on August 18, 2027.

BACKGROUND
Tentative Tract Map 7207 was originally approved by the City Council on August 18, 2009. Tentative Tract 7207 is located approximately 1/3 west of South Shafter Avenue between Elizabeth Avenue and West Riverside Street and proposes to subdivide 20 acres into 23 single-family residential lots, ranging in size from 10,886 square feet to 45,706 square feet.

The original expiration date for Tentative Tract Map 7207 was August 18, 2011.

However, due to the slow economy in the mid-2000s, the California State Legislature enacted multiple statutory extensions, which collectively added eight years to the life of previously approved subdivision maps. In addition to the legislative extensions, the City Council approved two discretionary time extensions, with the most recent granted on June 7, 2022. This extended the expiration date to August 18, 2025. In recognition that the expiration date has past, under the Shafter Subdivision Ordinance and Subdivision Map Act, a map remains active if a discretionary extension is requested prior to the expiration date until a final decision is made by City Council.

Therefore, the applicant is requesting approval of the second two-year discretionary time extension, which would move the map expiration date to August 18, 2027. Should the map not be recorded by that date, the applicant may apply for one more discretionary extension or the map would expire.

The Planning Commission considered the proposed extension of time on August 12, 2025, and recommended that the City Council approve the requested two-year extension of time to file a final map for Tentative Tract Map 7207, subject to the

Page 274 of 318 ends

TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 7207 EXTENSION OF TIME APPROVAL - 2 -
conditions approved by the City Council on August 18, 2009, to now expire on August 18, 2027.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact directly resulting from the approval of this tentative tract map extension.

CEQA ANALYSIS
The City of Shafter adopted a Negative Declaration for Tentative Tract No. 7207 on August 18, 2009 (Resolution 09-2056). Therefore, no additional California Environmental Quality Act analysis or documentation is required for the extension of time.

PUBLIC HEARINGS

CITY OF SHAFTER

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 16, 2025
DEPARTMENT: Clarisa Olaguez, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 6398 EXTENSION OF TIME

APPROVAL

RECOMMENDATION
Council find the action does not require additional CEQA review; conduct a public hearing; and adopt Resolution No. 3041, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Shafter, approving a two (2) year extension of time for Tentative Tract Map No. 6398 located at the southwest corner of East Tulare Avenue and North Beech Avenue, within the City of Shafter, subject to the conditions approved by the City Council on July 18, 2006, to now expire on October 1, 2027.

BACKGROUND
The City Council approved Tentative Tract No. 6398 on July 18, 2006, by Resolution No. 06-1845. The tract map is located at the southwest corner of E. Tulare Avenue and N. Beech Avenue and proposes to subdivide 1.54 acres into five (5) single-family residential lots ranging in size from 12,342 square feet to 16,427 square feet. The subject property is zoned for Low Density Residential (R-1) development.

The original expiration date for the tentative map was July 18, 2008. However, due to the slow economy in the mid-2000s, the California State Legislature enacted multiple statutory extensions, which collectively added eleven years to the life of previously approved subdivision maps. In addition to the legislative extensions, the City Council approved two discretionary time extensions, and a Development Agreement. The most recent Council approval was on September 1, 2020, approving Development Agreement No. 20-18 for Tentative Tract No. 6398. This extended the expiration date to October 1, 2025.

Therefore, the applicant is requesting approval of the final two-year discretionary time extension, which would move the map expiration date to October 1, 2027. Should the map not be recorded by that date, no further discretionary extensions would be available, and the map would expire.

MANAGEMENT REPORT

CITY OF SHAFTER

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 16, 2025
DEPARTMENT: Lance Lippincott, City Manager, Vanessa Uribe, Executive Assistant SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO UTILIZE DESIGN-BUILD PROCUREMENT

METHOD AND APPROVING THE RELEASE OF A REQUEST FOR
QUALIFICATIONS AND PROPOSALS (RFQP) FOR DESIGNBUILD SERVICES TO CONVERT THE FORMER MODIFIED

COMMUNITY CORRECTIONAL FACILITY (MCCF) INTO A

POLICE DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS

RECOMMENDATION
Council find that the action is not defined as a "project" under Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines; authorize the use of the Design-Build Procurement Method pursuant to Chapter 2.69 of Title 2 of the Shafter Municipal Code; approve the release of a Request for Qualifications and Proposals (RFQP) for design-build services to convert the former Modified Community Correction Facility (MCCF) into a Police Department headquarters; and direct the City Engineer or designee to prepare procurement documents, including prequalification and selection criteria, with Council retaining final authority to award the design-build contract following staff evaluation and recommendation.

BACKGROUND
The Shafter Police Department is currently operating from 201 Central Valley Highway, which has become inadequate due to spatial constraints, aging infrastructure, and increasing demands for public safety services. In an effort to improve operational efficiency and public safety service delivery, Staff has identified the vacated Modified Community Correctional Facility (MCCF), located at 1150 E. Ash Avenue, as a viable site to repurpose into a modern police headquarters.

The proposed conversion would include:
• Renovation of former detention areas into administrative and operational offices; • Construction of evidence storage and forensic processing areas; • Installation of secure access systems and upgraded communications infrastructure; and
• Site and structural modifications to meet public access and ADA requirements.

AUTHORIZATION TO UTILIZE DESIGN-BUILD PROCUREMENT METHOD AND APPROVING THE RELEASE OF A REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS AND PROPOSALS (RFQP) FOR DESIGNBUILD SERVICES TO CONVERT THE FORMER MODIFIED COMMUNITY CORRECTIONAL

FACILITY (MCCF) INTO A POLICE DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS
- 2 -
Chapter 2.69 of Title 2 of the Shafter Municipal Code authorizes the City, subject to approval by the City Council, to use the design-build procurement method as an alternative to the traditional design-bid-build process. This approach integrates design and construction services under one contract. Staff recommends the design-build method to reduce the City's overall risk through a single point of responsibility and, due to the project's specialized and technical nature with limited qualified providers.

Following Staff review, a summary of results and a recommendation for contract award will be presented to the City Council for final approval.

FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this item does not commit the City to construction or renovation costs at this time. The action authorizes use of the Design-Build Procurement Method and release of a Request for Qualifications and Proposals (RFQP) for design-build services. Costs associated with preparing and advertising the RFQP will be absorbed within the existing operating budget of the City Manager’s and Public Works/Engineering Departments.

Once proposals are received, staff will return to Council with an evaluation, funding plan, and recommendation for contract award. At that time, Council will consider specific fiscal impacts, including design and construction costs, available funding sources, and any necessary budget amendments.

CEQA ANALYSIS
The action is not defined as a “project” per Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines because the action is the approval of the use of the Design-Build Procurement Method and to release an RFQP for design-build services to convert the former MCCF into a Police Department headquarters and therefore, it is organizational and administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment and not subject to CEQA.

BACKGROUND
On June 17, 2025, the City of Shafter (“City”) received a report from the 2024-2025 Kern County Grand Jury (“Grand Jury Report”) concerning certain operations of the City of Shafter. More specifically, the Grand Jury Report evaluated the City Council’s familiarity with its City Charter and adopted Norms and Protocols concerning their accountability to the public. In addition, the Grand Jury Report analyzed certain operations of the Shafter Police Department and the City Animal Shelter. Pursuant to California Penal Code Section 933, “[N]o later than 90 days after the grand jury submits a final report on the operations of any public agency subject to its reviewing authority, the governing body of the public agency shall comment to the presiding judge of the superior court on the findings and recommendations pertaining to matters under the control of the governing body…” (See Penal Code, Section 933(c)).

The attached Resolution adopts the City’s comments/responses to the Grand Jury Report and informs that:

FISCAL IMPACT
The Grand Jury Report advises the City of Shafter to purchase an identification sign for the City Police Department. The proposed sign will cost the City less than $10,000.
