ADOPT A RESOLUTION REMOVING A COMMISSIONER FROM THE STOCKTON ARTS
COMMISSION
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution removing Maurice Spiller from the Stockton Arts Commission due to violation of the attendance policy.
DISCUSSION
Background
The Stockton Arts Commission is the arts advocacy agency of the City of Stockton. It serves as a catalyst to support, sustain, and strengthen the community by increasing awareness, opportunities, and involvement in arts and cultural activities. The Commission is established by the Stockton City Council and governed by City Ordinance, City Code, and Commission Bylaws.
Present Situation
It is recommended that the City Council remove Commissioner Maurice Spiller from the Stockton Arts Commission for failing to meet the attendance requirements as prescribed in Council Policy and the Commission Bylaws. Specifically, a Commissioner’s unexcused absence from either three consecutive regular meetings or five or more regular meetings in any twelve-month period results in the position being vacated, subject to City Council ratification. Commissioner Spiller has missed five meetings in the last rolling calendar year, including four consecutive meetings from April to July.
This action will create a vacancy on the Stockton Arts Commission. The vacancy will be filled in accordance with City procedures, requiring Mayor appointment and City Council approval.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this action, as members of the Stockton Arts Commission receive no remuneration.

§ 3.03.020. Responsibilities.
Members of boards, commissions and/or committees: Adhere to the established attendance policy. 1) For any Board, Commission and Committee (hereafter "Commission") that meets more than once a month, a Commissioner's absence from either three consecutive meetings or five or more meetings in any 12-month period shall result in the position being vacated, subject to City Council ratification as provided in this section. For any Commission that meets once a month or less frequently, a Commissioner's absences from 25% or more of the meetings in any 12-month period shall result in the position being vacated, subject to City Council ratification as provided in this section. Meetings that are cancelled due to lack of quorum prior to the meeting date will be included in this attendance policy. 2) Excused absences shall include illness or other medical reasons, work related conflicts and scheduled vacations when notice is provided at least 30 days in advance. The assigned staff support person of the particular Commission shall determine if the absence is excused; provided a commissioner provides reasonable notice in writing, including 30 days' notice of scheduled vacation, of the absence to the staff person assigned to the Commission. 3) The staff person assigned to the Commission shall record the attendance of Commissioners in a uniform format as shown on Board/Commission/Committee Attendance Report and submit the report to the City Clerk's Office. The Clerk's Office shall provide Attendance Reports to the City Council on a quarterly basis. As to any Commissioner who is a Councilmember's direct appointment, if the attendance record of that Commissioner is such that absences would result in the position being vacated, the Clerk's Office shall notify the Councilmember from that district of the Commissioner's attendance record. If the attendance records indicate that any Commissioner has exceeded the number of absences as provided in subsection 1 above, the Councilmember may direct the Clerk's Office to prepare a report to the City Council so stating and recommending that the City Council ratify that the position has been vacated. The City Council, at a regular meeting, shall consider the recommendation and take whatever action the City Council deems appropriate. If the City Council ratifies that the position has been vacated due to absences, the staff person shall notify any outside agency on which the Commissioner sat of the Council action.

ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 6 WITH EVOQUA
WATER TECHNOLOGIES TO PURCHASE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AND SERVICE SOFTWARE
FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution to authorize Contract Amendment No. 6 with Evoqua Water Technologies LLC, of Chicago, Illinois, (Exhibit 1 to the Resolution) for the purchase of hydrogen peroxide and service software for wastewater treatment and fund Contract Amendment No. 6 in the amount of $200,000 for a total contract not-to-exceed amount to $2,129,260.
It is further recommended that the City Manager be authorized to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of the resolution.
Summary
The Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) is comprised of three enterprise funds including Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Utilities. The Wastewater Utility includes a sanitary sewer collection system of approximately 900 miles of gravity sewer main, 554 miles of lower lateral pipe, 27 pump stations, and 30 miles of pressurized force main that route sewage to the Regional Wastewater Control Facility (RWCF) for treatment. The RWCF is an advanced tertiary treatment facility with a 55 million-gallon per day (MGD) capacity and is located adjacent to the San Joaquin River.
The RWCF operations staff uses chemicals including ferric chloride and hydrogen peroxide to reduce hydrogen sulfide concentrations in wastewater. Hydrogen Sulfide is a corrosive compound that in high concentrations can cause premature infrastructure failure and costly repairs.
If approved, Contract Amendment No. 6 will add $200,000 to the existing contract with Evoqua Water Technologies to purchase hydrogen peroxide and provide monitoring equipment/service software for wastewater treatment. If approved, Contract Amendment No. 6 will revise the total contract amount to $2,129,260.
DISCUSSION
Background
Ferric chloride and hydrogen peroxide are currently used at the RWCF to reduce hydrogen sulfide concentrations in the wastewater prior to entering various treatment processes.
Hydrogen sulfide is a corrosive compound that can lead to premature infrastructure failure and costly City of Stockton Printed on 10/30/2025Page 1 of 2

equipment repairs. To help protect wastewater treatment infrastructure and equipment, hydrogen peroxide is injected into the wastewater influent before it enters the treatment process. Evoqua Water Technologies LLC (Evoqua) owns proprietary software and hydrogen sulfide monitors that control chemical dosing rates. The software and monitors adjust chemical dosing rates based on the potency of wastewater entering the RWCF.
On August 20, 2019, by motion 2019-08-20-1111, the City Council authorized a five-year contract with Evoqua for $1,648,150. The contract included the rental of a hydrogen peroxide storage tank, service software, and the purchase of hydrogen peroxide for wastewater treatment, and was set to expire on June 30, 2024. Additional adjustments to the original contract, all under the City Manager’s contracting authority, include the following:
1. Contract Change Orders to the original contract totaling $51,110 and $30,000 were executed in April and May 2020, which added $81,110 to the contract to fund additional chemical purchases. These change orders revised the original not-to-exceed contract cost to $1,729,260.
2. Amendment No. 1, approved in September 2021, accepted price increases, demobilized the chemical storage and feed system, and removed the monthly cost of equipment rental with no change to the contract amount.
3. Amendment No. 2, approved in August 2022, accepted price increases, increased contract funding by $200,000, and revised the total contract amount to $1,929,260.
4. Amendment No. 3, approved in August 2023, accepted price increases with no change to the contract amount.
5. Amendment No. 4, approved in July 2024, accepted price decreases and extended the contract to June 30, 2025 with no change to the contract amount.
6. Amendment No. 5, approved in July 2025, accepted price decreases and extended the contract to June 30, 2026, with no change to the contract amount.
Present Situation
MUD operations staff expect continued high demand for hydrogen peroxide for wastewater treatment. Staff has determined, based on projected use and unit price, that an additional $200,000 is required to ensure adequate supply through June 30, 2026.
If approved by the City Council, Contract Amendment No. 6 will add $200,000 to the contract for a total not-to-exceed amount of $2,129,260.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
There are sufficient funds available for the proposed Contract Amendment No. 6 in the Wastewater Operations Division account number 6513-000-650005-610-000-00-65-000-000.
This action has no impact on the General Fund or any other unrestricted funds.

HAPTER 3.02
CITY COUNCIL AND MAYORAL APPOINTMENTS TO COMMITTEES, BOARDS,
AND COMMISSIONS
§ 3.02.010. Policy.
1) In 1975 the State Legislature amended Government Code Section 54957 of the Brown Act, removing "public officer" from those appointees that the Council could consider in executive session. This action resulted in the requirement that all discussions and deliberations by the City Council regarding appointments or confirmation of appointments are to take place in public at regular or special meetings of the City Council as opposed to closed executive sessions. This amendment was placed into effect January 1, 1976. 2) To comply with this new requirement, the City Council on January 19, 1976 adopted Resolution No. 32,937 establishing procedures for interviewing and confirming appointments in open Council session. The resolution additionally incorporated the existing informal procedures of the City Council regarding such appointments. 3) On January 1, 1977, the Maddy Local Appointive List Act of 1975 (Section54970 et seq.
Government Code) became effective requiring, among other things, that:
On or before December 31st of each year, each legislative body shall prepare an appointments list of all regular and ongoing boards, commissions, and committees which are appointed by the legislative body of the local agency. The appointees' list shall contain the following information:
A) A list of all appointive terms which will expire during the next calendar year, with the name of the incumbent appointee, the date of appointment, the date the term expires, and the necessary qualifications for the position.
B) A list of all boards, commissions, and committees whose members serve at the pleasure of the legislative body, and the necessary qualifications for each position.
C) These requirements are contained in this Council policy. 4) The purpose of this policy is to establish an orderly process to provide all citizens of Stockton equal access to specific and current information about the many regulatory and advisory boards, commissions, and committees appointed by the City Council and/or the Mayor, to provide for equal opportunity to be informed of vacancies which, from time to time, shall occur, and to provide for open sessions in the interview or confirmation appointment process.
Hereafter, for sake of simplicity, all boards, commissions and committees appointed as set forth in the following Policy shall be referred to as "Commission" or "Commissions." A member of a board, commission or committee shall be referred to as a "Commissioner." 5) APPOINTMENTS LIST.
A) Each year, on or before December 31, the City Clerk shall prepare and provide to the City Council an appointments list of all regular and ongoing Commissions which are appointed by the Stockton City Council, a Stockton City Councilmember or by the Mayor. The appointment list shall set forth the following information:

An applicant may submit for consideration to more than one Commission, depending on the applicant's qualifications and interest.
B) The City Council may appoint a person then serving on a Commission to serve on a different Commission after taking into account the number of other qualified application seeking appointment and whether the person's appointment to the different Commission is compatible with the person's current Commission service or creates the potential for overlapping subject matter jurisdiction.

Downloaded from https://ecode360.com/ST5019 on 2025-09-10 amongst each other consistent with the Brown Act.
B)ii) The City Clerk will prepare a staff report relative to the interviews conducted; this report will be placed on a regular meeting agenda for Council consideration on the date indicated to the applicants. The applicants are not required to appear at this meeting unless requested by a Councilmember before the appointment date. Any Councilmember may ask additional questions of the applicant(s) if the applicant has been requested to appear and has appeared at the meeting.
C)iii) At the meeting at which the City Clerk has prepared a staff report relative to the persons who have been interviewed for an appointment to a Commission, for each Commission on which there is a vacancy or for which a term of office will expire, the City Clerk will provide to the City Council a list of those persons who have been interviewed.
D)A) All discussions by the City Council regarding appointments or confirmation of appointments shall be conducted in compliance with the Brown Act.

E)iv) If there is at least one more applicant than the number of vacancies from the list(s) so provided to the Council, each Councilmember, including the Mayor, will rank the applicants for each Commission such that the number of applicants that each Councilmember ranks will be one number greater than the number of vacancies and/or the number of Commission members whose terms will be expiring. (This will likely avoid tie votes.) For example, if there is only one vacancy or only one term expiring, the Councilmember's first choice for appointment will be ranked with the number "2" and the Councilmember's second choice with the number "1." If because of a vacancy and/or because of an expiring term, there is more than one appointment to a Commission, the Councilmember will assign to the Councilmember's first choice the higher(est) number and lesser number(s) to the Councilmember's other choice(s). For example, if there were one vacancy and one term expiring, each Councilmember would rank three applicants, assigning the number "3" to the Councilmember's first choice, the number "2" to the Councilmember's second choice and the number "1" to the third choice. i)v) After the Council has ranked the applicants, the City Clerk will tally the rankings and the applicant(s) receiving the highest number(s) would, subject to Council ratification, be appointed. If there is a tie, then the process described in subsection E above will be repeated only as to the applicants who are tied. ii)vi)In instances where there are a vacancy and an expiring term and the term of the vacant office is less than the new term of office, the applicant with the highest number will serve the new term of office and the applicant with the next highest number will serve the lesser term.
F)vii) If the number of applicants is less than or equal to the number of vacancies, Council may direct staff to open a recruitment or proceed to fill any number of vacancies from
ATTACHMENT A

§ 3.02.010 § 3.02.060
Downloaded from https://ecode360.com/ST5019 on 2025-09-10 the available list of applicants.
C) Council Direct Appointments
i) Unless otherwise specified, Council direct appointments shall be selected from applicants residing in the Councilmember’s district. The Mayor shall select their appointments from the city at-large.
ii) When a vacancy occurs, the Councilmember may select from the existing pool of applicants or request the City Clerk to initiate recruitment. iii) To ensure Commissions are able to maintain a quorum and complete city business, it is necessary for Councilmembers to complete their selections timely.
Following the completion of the recruitment, Councilmembers have 90 days to make their selection. If within 90 days no selection is made and there exists at least one more qualifying candidate than the vacancy, the Clerk shall place an item on the Council agenda for consideration of the full Council.. iv) The Council may then take one of the following actions:
• Direct the City Clerk to initiate an additional recruitment • Direct the City Clerk to schedule interviews for the applicants • Proceed with the existing applicants consistent with ranking system detailed above.
G)D) Should a vacancy occur within the first year of an appointment, the remainder of the unexpired term may be filled from the current, active pool without running a recruitment.

CITY COUNCIL AND MAYORAL APPOINTMENTS TO COMMITTEES, BOARDS,
AND COMMISSIONS
§ 3.02.010. Policy.
1) In 1975 the State Legislature amended Government Code Section 54957 of the Brown Act, removing "public officer" from those appointees that the Council could consider in executive session. This action resulted in the requirement that all discussions and deliberations by the City Council regarding appointments or confirmation of appointments are to take place in public at regular or special meetings of the City Council as opposed to closed executive sessions. This amendment was placed into effect January 1, 1976. 2) To comply with this new requirement, the City Council on January 19, 1976 adopted Resolution No. 32,937 establishing procedures for interviewing and confirming appointments in open Council session. The resolution additionally incorporated the existing informal procedures of the City Council regarding such appointments. 3) On January 1, 1977, the Maddy Local Appointive List Act of 1975 (Section54970 et seq.
Government Code) became effective requiring, among other things, that:
On or before December 31st of each year, each legislative body shall prepare an appointments list of all regular and ongoing boards, commissions, and committees which are appointed by the legislative body of the local agency. The appointees' list shall contain the following information:
A) A list of all appointive terms which will expire during the next calendar year, with the name of the incumbent appointee, the date of appointment, the date the term expires, and the necessary qualifications for the position.
B) A list of all boards, commissions, and committees whose members serve at the pleasure of the legislative body, and the necessary qualifications for each position.
C) These requirements are contained in this Council policy. 4) The purpose of this policy is to establish an orderly process to provide all citizens of Stockton equal access to specific and current information about the many regulatory and advisory boards, commissions, and committees appointed by the City Council and/or the Mayor, to provide for equal opportunity to be informed of vacancies which, from time to time, shall occur, and to provide for open sessions in the interview or confirmation appointment process.
Hereafter, for sake of simplicity, all boards, commissions and committees appointed as set forth in the following Policy shall be referred to as "Commission" or "Commissions." A member of a board, commission or committee shall be referred to as a "Commissioner." 5) APPOINTMENTS LIST.
A) Each year, on or before December 31, the City Clerk shall prepare and provide to the City Council an appointments list of all regular and ongoing Commissions which are appointed by the Stockton City Council, a Stockton City Councilmember or by the Mayor. The appointment list shall set forth the following information:
EXHIBIT 1
City of Stockton, CA
§ 3.02.010 § 3.02.010
Downloaded from https://ecode360.com/ST5019 on 2025-09-10
A list of all current Commission vacancies and of all appointive terms which will expire during the next calendar year with the name of the incumbent appointee, the date of appointment, the date the term expires, and the necessary qualifications for the position.
B) The appointments list shall be made available to members of the public on the City's website for free or a hard copy for a reasonable fee as indicated on the City's Fee Schedule.
6) VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENTS.
Where a vacancy on a Commission exists or where by a Commissioner's term of office will expire, the City Clerk shall announce through the news and social media, and post notice thereof on the City's website and in the Office of the City Clerk, that a vacancy exists or that a term of office will expire. A standing contact list of community partners and organizations will be maintained by the Clerk's Office to facilitate effective outreach. Announcements/ postings shall indicate:
A) Title of the position;
B) Minimum qualifications;
C) Special residency requirements, if any;
D) Frequency of meetings of the Commission;
E) Remuneration, if any;
F) Where to submit an application;
G) Final date for submission of an application; and
H) Term of office.
7) APPLICATIONS.
A) All applicants for Commission membership, including persons currently serving on a Commission who seek to be reappointed, shall complete and submit a uniform public service application form to the City Clerk's Office prior to the final time and date for submission of the application. An applicant may submit for consideration to more than one Commission, depending on the applicant's qualifications and interest.
B) The City Council may appoint a person then serving on a Commission to serve on a different Commission after taking into account the number of other qualified application seeking appointment and whether the person's appointment to the different Commission is compatible with the person's current Commission service or creates the potential for overlapping subject matter jurisdiction.
C) The application shall identify the membership on the Commission or Commissions being sought, the applicant's background and qualifications and may include any additional material deemed relevant by the applicant. Additional material will not be accepted after the filing deadline.

E) The City Clerk or other staff will review the applications to determine the applicant's compliance with this Policy and any other requirements specified in the Commission's Roster.
F) The City Clerk's office shall keep applications on file and applications shall be considered active for one year from the date received.
G) Nothing herein shall preclude the Mayor or an individual Councilmember from requesting additional or clarifying information of an applicant prior to the Council's consideration of the applicants for appointment as provided in this Policy. 8) STOCKTON RESIDENCY.
Absent specific qualifying requirements to the contrary, all applicants and appointees to Commissions shall be residents of the City of Stockton during the term of their appointment. 9) PROHIBITION OF CITY EMPLOYEES.
City Employees Prohibited. Because of potential conflicts between City employment and an employee serving on City Commissions, no City employee, with the exception of the staff person appointed to serve on the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency, shall be appointed to a Commission.
10) APPLICANT INTERVIEWS.
For Commissions where interviews are required, the procedure below will be followed.
A) Except as provided below, the City department or affected agency that staffs a Commission for which there is a vacancy or for which a term of office will expire during the recruitment period shall prepare interview questions, reviewed and approved by the City Manager's Office, and forward the questions to the City Clerk. To the extent feasible, questions should be open-ended and limited to no more than five key queries.
The City department or affected agency that staffs a Commission, in consultation with the City Manager's Office, will determine whether to provide the interview questions to the applicants ahead of the interview itself.
B) The City Clerk will notify the Council and the applicants regarding the date and time of the interviews. The interviews will be streamed live. This will allow the Council the opportunity to view the interviews live via streamed video or at any time prior to the date on which the Council will make its appointment. The video stream of the interviews will remain on the City's website only until the Council concludes the appointment process.
C) The City Clerk shall notify all applicants of the time and place of the interviews, the amount of time allowed for the interview and the method by which the Council EXHIBIT 1
City of Stockton, CA
§ 3.02.010 § 3.02.010
Downloaded from https://ecode360.com/ST5019 on 2025-09-10
appointment shall be made. If notifying the candidates by electronic mail, the City Clerk shall also follow up with a phone call to the applicant. Applicants who desire to withdraw from consideration shall notify the City Clerk, preferably in writing.
D) On the date and time of the interview, applicants will arrive at the designated location, date and time as set by the City Clerk.
E) Applicants will assemble in the designated location where the City Clerk/designee will provide the applicants with the following information:
i) Instructions regarding the interview procedure; and
ii) The date and time of the meeting at which the Council will be voting on the appointment; applicants may be asked by the Council to appear at this meeting.
F) Applicants will be interviewed one at a time. Candidates yet to be interviewed will be instructed to wait in a lobby or other designated location until such time that s/he is invited to the location of the interview. Applicants not present for the interview will automatically be removed from further consideration for that recruitment period.
G) During the interview, the City Clerk/designee will give the opportunity for the applicant to make a two-minute opening statement; the City Clerk/designee will read each question aloud from the list of prepared questions. Each interview is timed and limited to no more than 10 minutes per applicant. Applicants will be excused at the end of the interview.
H) Interviews for applicants to the Central Parking District Authority Board, Cultural Heritage Board and Public Art Advisory Committee shall be conducted by committees of the respective Boards or Committee and the committee's recommendation then considered by the full Boards and Committee. The Boards' and Committee's recommendations will be forwarded to the City Council for Council action. The City Council may appoint or not appoint the recommended applicant. An appointment to fill an unexpired term shall become effective immediately. Other appointments shall become effective as of July 1st or January 1st respectively. In the latter case, then serving Board or Committee members will continue to serve until the effective date of the new appointment. If the City Council does not appoint the recommended applicant, the Boards or Committee shall make another recommended appointment.
I) The City Council shall not appoint the City Council Salary Setting Commission.
Applicants for that Commission shall be interviewed by the Civil Service Commission which will make the appointment (as provided in Charter Section 1912) and the Director of Human Resources shall notify the City Council of the appointment. 11) CITY COUNCIL APPOINTMENTS.
A) All discussions by the City Council regarding appointments or confirmation of appointments shall be conducted in compliance with the Brown Act. The appointment process shall not require a public hearing; however, persons desiring to comment on the applicants may do so prior to Council action. A Councilmember may ask questions or seek clarification from any applicant present at the meeting before the Council takes action.
B) Appointments requiring interviews
EXHIBIT 1
City of Stockton, CA
§ 3.02.010 § 3.02.010
Downloaded from https://ecode360.com/ST5019 on 2025-09-10
i) Subsequent to the interviews, the City Clerk will immediately notify the Council that the interviews have been conducted and the date the Council will be voting on the appointments. The Council will have the opportunity to view the interviews during the live stream or may view the video stream at any time prior to the date set for Council appointment. Councilmembers shall limit conversation regarding the applicants
amongst each other consistent with the Brown Act.
ii) The City Clerk will prepare a staff report relative to the interviews conducted; this report will be placed on a regular meeting agenda for Council consideration on the date indicated to the applicants. The applicants are not required to appear at this meeting unless requested by a Councilmember before the appointment date. Any Councilmember may ask additional questions of the applicant(s) if the applicant has been requested to appear and has appeared at the meeting. iii) At the meeting at which the City Clerk has prepared a staff report relative to the persons who have been interviewed for an appointment to a Commission, for each Commission on which there is a vacancy or for which a term of office will expire, the City Clerk will provide to the City Council a list of those persons who have been interviewed.
iv) If there is at least one more applicant than the number of vacancies from the list(s) so provided to the Council, each Councilmember, including the Mayor, will rank the applicants for each Commission such that the number of applicants that each Councilmember ranks will be one number greater than the number of vacancies and/or the number of Commission members whose terms will be expiring. (This will likely avoid tie votes.) For example, if there is only one vacancy or only one term expiring, the Councilmember's first choice for appointment will be ranked with the number "2" and the Councilmember's second choice with the number "1." If because of a vacancy and/or because of an expiring term, there is more than one appointment to a Commission, the Councilmember will assign to the Councilmember's first choice the higher(est) number and lesser number(s) to the Councilmember's other choice(s). For example, if there were one vacancy and one term expiring, each Councilmember would rank three applicants, assigning the number "3" to the Councilmember's first choice, the number "2" to the Councilmember's second choice and the number "1" to the third choice. v) After the Council has ranked the applicants, the City Clerk will tally the rankings and the applicant(s) receiving the highest number(s) would, subject to Council ratification, be appointed. If there is a tie, then the process described in subsection E above will be repeated only as to the applicants who are tied. vi) In instances where there are a vacancy and an expiring term and the term of the vacant office is less than the new term of office, the applicant with the highest number will serve the new term of office and the applicant with the next highest number will serve the lesser term.
vii) If the number of applicants is less than or equal to the number of vacancies, Council may direct staff to open a recruitment or proceed to fill any number of vacancies from

§ 3.02.010 § 3.02.060
Downloaded from https://ecode360.com/ST5019 on 2025-09-10
the available list of applicants.
C) Council Direct Appointments
i) Unless otherwise specified, Council direct appointments shall be selected from applicants residing in the Councilmember’s district. The Mayor shall select their appointments from the city at-large.
ii) When a vacancy occurs, the Councilmember may select from the existing pool of applicants or request the City Clerk to initiate recruitment. iii) To ensure Commissions are able to maintain a quorum and complete city business, it is necessary for Councilmembers to complete their selections timely.
Following the completion of the recruitment, Councilmembers have 90 days to make their selection. If within 90 days no selection is made and there exists at least one more qualifying candidate than the vacancy, the Clerk shall place an item on the Council agenda for consideration of the full Council.. iv) The Council may then take one of the following actions:
• Direct the City Clerk to initiate an additional recruitment • Direct the City Clerk to schedule interviews for the applicants • Proceed with the existing applicants consistent with ranking system detailed above.
D) Should a vacancy occur within the first year of an appointment, the remainder of the unexpired term may be filled from the current, active pool without running a recruitment.
E) An appointment to fill an unexpired term shall become effective immediately. Other appointments shall become effective as of July 1st or January 1st, respectively. In the latter case, the serving Commissioners will continue to serve until the effective date of the new appointments.

As to any appointments made by the Mayor (other than the Mayor's appointment to the Planning Commission), they shall be submitted on the next regular City Council meeting agenda. The City Council shall confirm or not confirm the appointment(s). 14) TERM OF OFFICE.
Prior to the expiration of the term, persons who wish to continue service shall submit a new application to be eligible for consideration for appointment to a new term. § 3.02.020. Responsibilities.

APPROVE MOTION TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH IDEXX LABORATORIES FOR DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $60,283 ANNUALLY AND $343,614 FOR A 6-YEAR TERM
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a motion to:
1. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute an agreement for diagnostic equipment not to exceed $60,283 annually and $343,614 for a 6-year term; and
2. Approve findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code section 3.68.070 in support of an exception to the competitive bidding process.
It is further recommended that the City Manager, or designee, is hereby authorized and directed to make any and all expenditures and appropriations on behalf of the City as appropriate and necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of this motion.
Summary
IDEXX Laboratories is a nationally recognized leader in veterinary diagnostics, providing advanced equipment tailored for shelters, veterinary hospitals, and other high-volume animal care facilities.
Their suite of analyzers functions as an interconnected system, delivering rapid and reliable results across a wide range of tests, including chemistry, blood counts, urinalysis, and disease-specific screenings. At present, the City of Stockton Animal Shelter has limited testing capabilities, restricted mostly to basic bloodwork, and must send out more advanced samples to outside laboratories. This reliance on external testing slows down treatment, adds costs, and extends animals’ length of stay, which increases the risk of illness spreading and adds pressure to already full kennels. By adding IDEXX analyzers on site, the shelter’s veterinary staff will be able to run more complex diagnostics quickly and efficiently, make faster and better-informed treatment and surgical decisions, and provide improved care that supports healthier animals, shorter stays, and higher adoption and live release rates.
DISCUSSION
Background
IDEXX Laboratories is a nationally recognized leader in veterinary diagnostic solutions, providing equipment specifically designed for high-volume animal care facilities, veterinary hospitals, and shelters. The IDEXX Analyzer suite of equipment was developed to function as an integrated system, where each analyzer supports the other by sharing data and delivering rapid, accurate results. These City of Stockton Printed on 10/30/2025Page 1 of 4

File #: 25-1120, Version: 1
analyzers are designed to test routine chemistries, advanced diagnostics, complete blood counts, electrolytes, and urinalysis samples within minutes, reducing reliance on external laboratories.
For municipal animal shelters, access to timely diagnostic results is crucial. Unlike private veterinary practices, shelters manage a much higher volume of animals with a wider range of health challenges, often with limited resources and urgent timelines for treatment decisions. IDEXX equipment has been adopted by many municipal agencies and non-profit shelters across the country because of its reliability, comprehensive diagnostic capability, and seamless integration of test results into patient records. By investing in IDEXX diagnostic equipment, the City ensures that the shelter’s veterinary team can make faster, evidence-based decisions that improve outcomes for animals in care and maximize the efficient use of staff time and resources.
Present Situation
The City of Stockton Animal Shelter currently has only limited diagnostic capacity, restricted to basic Complete Blood Count (CBC) and Chemistry panels. While these tools are helpful, they do not provide the full spectrum of diagnostics needed to effectively evaluate and treat the diverse medical conditions presented by the approximately 8,000 animals admitted each year. Many of these animals arrive sick, injured, or with unknown medical histories, and timely diagnostics are essential to determining appropriate treatment, surgical candidacy, and humane outcomes.
At present, when tests beyond the shelter’s in-house capabilities are required, samples must be sent to external laboratories. This process delays treatment decisions, increases costs, and can compromise the ability of staff to respond quickly in urgent or life-threatening cases. In addition, delayed results often prolong an animal’s length of stay, increasing the risk of disease transmission and compounding capacity challenges within the shelter.
By expanding the shelter’s in-house diagnostic equipment through IDEXX, veterinary staff will be able to perform a wider range of tests such as advanced chemistries, electrolyte panels, urinalysis, and disease-specific assays directly on site. The analyzers’ ability to communicate with each other and provide consolidated results will streamline workflow, reduce turnaround times, and ensure more accurate treatment planning. This expanded diagnostic capacity will allow veterinary staff to identify and treat contagious diseases more quickly, make more informed surgical decisions, and manage high case volumes with greater efficiency, ultimately improving overall health outcomes for shelter animals and supporting higher adoption and live release rates.

Stockton Municipal Code section 3.68.070 provides for an exception to the competitive bidding requirements in cases wherein the City Council has made findings that support and justify the purchase via a single sole source.
Findings to support the purchase are as follows:
1. The Idexx equipment is compatible with existing equipment in the new Animal Services Clinic, on Fremont Street, coming online in November 2025. Continuing to streamline new purchases within Idexx portfolio provides for continuity of service across platforms.
2. The City does not have capacity to keep up with diagnostic demands within the shelter and clinic. Idexx provides a robust platform allowing the Animal Services Team to expand the portfolio of services available to its animals, with faster service delivery times, ultimately intended to lead to faster treatment delivery.
3. Expanding the Idexx equipment provided in-house is intended to eliminate the need for the City of Stockton Printed on 10/30/2025Page 3 of 4

ou shall use Qualifying Products counting toward your Annual Minimum Purchase Amount only in the practice location(s) listed above, and not sell or transfer them to any other clinic or location.
Al
l purchases of Qualifying Products are subject to our One-IDEXX Master Terms, available at www.idexx.com/naterms and incorporated herein (the “Master Terms”). The Annual Minimum Purchase Amount is calculated net of taxes, shipping, allowances, credits and discounts. Only purchases of Qualifying Products directly from IDEXX or our authorized distributors count towards your Annual Minimum Purchase Amount (except for LPD diagnostic consumables and test kits, which must be purchased directly from IDEXX to count towards yours Annual Minimum Purchase Amount).
You have been enrolled in our SDMA 360 Accelerator program, the value of each purchase of our Catalyst SDMA®Test will be doubled and applied to your Annual Minimum Purchase Amount. Purchases of our Catalyst SDMA ® and Total T4
Kit are not doubled under this program since SDMA is provided at no charge in that kit.
W
hen will you own the Equipment?
I
DEXX is the owner of the Equipment and shall retain title to the Equipment unless and until you fulfill the Annual Minimum Purchase Amount for each contract year during the term of this Agreement. You will be responsible for any sales tax due at the time of transfer of ownership of the Equipment.
What are your obligations with respect to the Equipment until you own it? Except in cases of repair at IDEXX's facilities or exchange of equipment by IDEXX, you will keep and use the Equipment only at your address shown above and not remove it from that address or alter it in any way. You will be responsible for any sales tax due upon transfer of ownership of the Equipment from IDEXX to you.
You agree not to damage or misuse any of the Equipment, and to protect all of the Equipment from any kind of damage or loss during the term. If any Equipment is damaged or lost for any reason, you agree at IDEXX’s option either: (i) to pay to IDEXX the suggested retail list price of the Equipment as of the time of damage or loss (depreciated on a straight-line basis over 6 years and pro-rated monthly), in which case you will own such Equipment “as is” and with all faults and defects or (ii) to pay to IDEXX the reasonable cost of repairing the Equipment. You shall promptly notify IDEXX of any loss or damage to the Equipment. You agree to keep the equipment fully insured against loss and to have IDEXX named as loss payee.
You shall not permit any security interest or other lien or encumbrance to attach to the Equipment, and shall notify us immediately if one does. You shall indemnify us against any costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, if any security interest or other lien or encumbrance attaches to any Equipment. You authorize us to make a filing under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) to permit us to perfect a security interest in and/or evidence our continued ownership of the Equipment.
What happens if you do not meet your annual minimum purchase obligations? IDEXX will provide a monthly summary of your spending on Qualifying Products throughout the term of this Agreement either through a monthly statement or through https://my.idexx.com. If at any point you are at risk of not meeting your Annual Minimum Purchase Amount for such contract year, you will have an opportunity to purchase such Qualifying Products as are necessary to fulfill your Annual Minimum Purchase Amount.
ATTACHMENT A
If you fail to spend in any contract year the Annual Minimum Purchase Amount on purchases of Qualifying Products, you agree that IDEXX may retroactively invoice you the difference between the amount of your actual net spending on purchases of Qualifying Products during such contract year and the Annual Minimum Purchase Amount (the “shortfall”).
If you fail to meet your Annual Minimum Purchase Amount in spending on purchases of Qualifying Products in multiple contract years, IDEXX reserves the right to invoice you for the shortfall monthly or quarterly, as opposed to annually.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any portion of any shortfall solely attributable to a reduction in spending on SNAP tests will not be invoiced. Also, in the first contract year, you will not be invoiced for any shortfall so long as you spend at least 70% of the Annual Minimum Purchase Amount on purchases of Qualifying Products . A failure to spend at least 70% of the Annual Minimum Purchase Amount on purchases of Qualifying Products in the first contract year will be addressed as set forth in the Worry Free First Year Commitment section below.
If you fail to timely
pay the shortfall as provided above: (i) IDEXX reserves the right to charge you for the then- current suggested retail list price of the Equipment as of the time of such charge (depreciated on a straight -line basis over 6 years and pro-rated monthly), in which event you will own the Equipment upon IDEXX’s receipt of all payments due, and (ii) if such non- payment of the shortfall occurs in 2 consecutive years, IDEXX reserves the right to demand, and you shall, return of the Equipment to IDEXX undamaged (other than normal wear and tear) and in good operating condition.
Worry Free First Year Commitment
IDEXX will not charge you for any shortfall amount in the first contract year. Our flexible options give you more time to meet your commitment. Instead, any such shortfall will be addressed as follows:
If you check “Yes” below under the “Autorenewal/IDEXXCare Plus Coverage option” (the “ autorenewal section”), and you do not provide IDEXX notice of non-renewal prior to the first renewal term as provided in the autorenewal section below, the first contract year shortfall will be covered by the renewal term and you will not be required to make a payment for the shortfall.
If you check “No” under the autorenewal section, or you check “Yes” and you later provide IDEXX notice of non- renewal prior to the first renewal term, then you agree that you will compensate IDEXX for the shortfall in one of the three following options:
1. Purchase of Qualifying Products in the amount of the shortfall in the twelve-month period following the term of this Agreement.
2. One-time payment of the shortfall by the last day of the initial term of this Agreement.
3. Payment of the shortfall in twelve monthly payments (no interest) following the last day of the initial term of this Agreement.
You will be automatically enrolled in option #1, but you may elect options #2 or #3 if you notify IDEXX in writing of your election at least 45 days prior to the end of the initial term of the Agreement. If you choose options #2 or #3, you may also pay the shortfall at any time prior the end of this Agreement. If option #1 applies and you do not purchase a sufficient amount of Qualifying Products to meet the shortfall within t he twelve-month period following the term of this Agreement, then IDEXX may charge you the difference to meet the shortfall.

You and IDEXX are agreeing to honor this Agreement for its full term and, except as expressly set forth herein, are not agreeing to any early termination rights.
Autorenewal/IDEXXCare Plus Coverage option: By checking “yes” below, you agree that after the end of the initial term, this Agreement will automatically renew for up to 3 successive one-year periods (each, a “renewal term”) unless either party to this Agreement gives the other party 60 days’ prior written notice of non-renewal before the end of the initial term or latest renewal term, as applicable. If you select this option, you will receive IDEXXCare Plus coverage for all of your IDEXX in-house Analyzers (including the IDEXX in-house Analyzers among the Equipment and any other in- house Analyzers in your practice) that remain connected to SmartService at no additional cost to you during each renewal term.

APPROVE MOTION TO ACCEPT REQUEST FOR REFUND AS REQUESTED BY THE STOCKTON POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $52,980
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a motion:
1. Authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to accept a request for refund as requested by the Stockton Police Department in the amount of $52,980.
2. Authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to take all necessary and appropriate actions to carry out the purpose and intent of the motion.
Summary
On September 18, 2022, Stockton Police Department (SPD) officers were dispatched to an armed robbery call in the area of Worth and Commerce St. During the robbery, a suspect brandished a firearm during the sale of a vehicle and took $16,000 from the victim. On September 21, 2022, SPD and detectives from the Delta Regional Auto Theft Team (Delta RATT) executed search warrants on Pedro Meraz related to the subsequent investigation, which resulted in the seizure of $52,980. In August of 2025, Meraz filed a refund request for the money seized from him. SPD Detectives ensured Meraz had no outstanding warrants or associated cases, and ordered that the balance of $52,980 be released to Meraz. Staff requests that the City Council authorize the City Manager, or designee, to accept the request to refund the $52,980 and have it dispersed to Meraz.
DISCUSSION
Background
In August of 2022, Detectives from SPD and Delta RATT conducted an armed robbery investigation.
During the investigation, multiple search warrants were served related to Pedro Meraz, where $52,980 was seized from him. After the seizure of the money, the investigation became stale, and ultimately, Meraz was not prosecuted or charged with the crime.
Present Situation
On August 20, 2025, Pedro Meraz submitted a refund request for $52,980 to SPD. The request was reviewed by SPD Detectives and submitted to SPD Fiscal Affairs along with the Evidence Disposition request.

Authorization for a refund of $52,980 is being requested from the Police Department’s Unclaimed Cash account to the requestor.

The current City of Stockton Tow Rotation Agreement identifies the process of requesting towing assistance and selecting the qualified vendors who provide towing services. Under the terms of the agreement, the tow companies are provided with an opportunity to participate in the rotation and must maintain vehicles and insurance in accordance with the contract terms. The current agreement expires on December 31, 2025. Staff recommends Council approve a motion to renew the agreement and approve new baseline rates effective January 1, 2026.
DISCUSSION
Background
SPD’s Traffic Section began using a rotating list of tow company vendors in the 1990’s. The list was established in response to a lawsuit filed against the City alleging that the City attempted to limit the number of tow companies that could be included in the agreement. The list is maintained by staff in the Traffic Section in a rotating fashion, according to a set of predictable and equitable criteria. The agreement is maintained to set pricing and specifications. Towing services are primarily required for traffic accidents, impounding vehicles due to unlicensed drivers, expired registrations, evidence collection, and abandoned vehicles. Towing services are also used for City vehicles that are inoperable.

Per Section 15 of the Tow Rotation Agreement, the SPD Traffic Division must hold one open meeting annually to discuss the agreement terms and any issues. Tow companies are notified in writing of the meeting 30 days in advance.
Present Situation
Under the terms of the current agreement, Section 13 allows for an increase to tow rates on a yearly basis at an amount equal to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers’ United States City Average, not to exceed5 percent per year. During the current five-year term, annual increases to tow rates based on CPI have not kept pace with rates paid by surrounding law enforcement agencies. With the proposed extension, staff are recommending a new baseline tow rate to be set based on a survey of surrounding law enforcement agency rates for the same tow services.
Set forth below is a chart indicating the current rate structure and the proposed new rate structure for the towing of vehicles on private property and public property, and nuisance vehicle tows pursuant to the authority granted under the Stockton Municipal Code:
SERVICE 2020-2025 RATE 2026-2029 PROPOSED RATE
Class A Tow $202.21 $235.59
Class B Tow $259.67 $302.54
Class C Tow $550.84 $641.77
Class D Tow $550.90 $641.89
Lowboy Tow $239.46 $278.99
Rotator Tow $638.49 $743.90
Nuisance Vehicle $101.10 $117.80
Gate Fee n/a $130.25
Inside Storage $75.00 $86.83
Outside Storage $65.00 $75.73
Inside Storage (over 25 feet) n/a $130.25
Outside Storage (over 25 feet) n/a $113.61
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The estimated cost is an annual amount of $20,000 for a total amount not to exceed $100,000.
Funding for the Tow Rotation Agreement is available in the FY 25-26 Police Department Investigation Division Future costs will be incorporated into the Stockton Police Department’s Annual Budget Request.

A tow service company (OPERATOR), agreeing to participate in this agreement, does not establish a contractual relationship with the CITY and is not acting as an agent for the CITY when performing services under this agreement. Exceptions to compliance with the agreement shall not be authorized by verbal agreement.
1. TERMS AND CONDITIONS
A. The term of this agreement is made and entered into on January 1, 2026 ("effective date") and shall be for a Period of (3) three years with the option for (2) two (1) one-year renewals from the effective date, as mutually agreed between the parties.
B. Any tow service OPERATOR who requests to be included in this agreement acknowledges that the City, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to cancel the rotation and/or discontinue the use of the OPERATORS services by giving advanced written notice of its intent thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the cancellation. The OPERATOR further acknowledges that under certain circumstances specified in these standards, the SPD may forgo the thirty (30) days notice requirement and impose an immediate suspension or termination, and that upon exercising its discretion as provided in these standards, the CITY shall incur no liability of any kind to the
OPERATOR or any subcontractor or supplier of the OPERATOR.
C. In accordance with the specifications stated herein, each tow service OPERATOR shall provide tow services, subsequent lien sales, and disposal of unclaimed vehicles towed at SPD’s request. The services shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

This includes, without limitation, automobiles, trucks, vans, motorcycles, buses, recreational vehicles (RVs), utility trailers, cargo trailers, flatbed trailers, and any other wheeled conveyance, regardless of registration status, operability, or ownership. The term also includes any attachments or accessories affixed to or used in connection with such equipment.

All references to "tow trucks" shall have the same applicability as "tow cars" under CVC section 615.
C. EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS:
All towing equipment, recovery equipment, and carrier ratings are based on structural factors only. Actual towing, carrying, and recovery capacity may be limited by the capacity of the chassis and the optional equipment selected
D. TOWING LIMITATIONS:
The criteria to use in determining the safe towing limits for a truck are:
1) The total weight of the truck, including the lifted load, must fall within
ATTACHMENT A
the manufacturer's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and not exceed either the Front or Rear Axle Weight Ratings
(FAWR/RAWR).
2) The truck must meet all applicable state and/or federal standards. 3) For proper steering and braking, the front axle load must be at least 50% of its normal or unladen weight after the load is lifted.
E. IDENTIFICATION LABELS:
Each piece of towing equipment shall have a label or identification tag permanently affixed to the equipment in a prominent location to identify the manufacturer, serial number, model, and rate capacity.
F. RECOVERY EQUIPMENT RATING:
The basic performance rating of the recovery equipment is the weight the equipment can lift in a winching mode when the boom is static at a 30- degree elevation with the load lines vertical and the lifting cables sharing the load equally, measured with a live load (weight or load cell). 1) The structural design of the recovery equipment must have a higher load capacity than the performance rating(s).
2) Winches shall conform to or exceed the specifications set forth by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Handbook, SAE J706. 3) All ratings for cable and chain assemblies are for the undamaged assembly condition.

DISCUSSION
Background
The project site is located at 501 and 509 West Weber Avenue, at the northwest corner of Weber Avenue and Lincoln Street (Attachment A). The project is in the process of renovating two five-story buildings (one building includes a basement) including on- and off-site improvements. Upon completion, the majority of City departments will be relocated into the buildings. The project was included in the 2018-23, 2019-24, 2020-25, and 2021-26 Five-Year CIPs and funded by multiple funding sources.
On December 17, 2019, by Motion No. 2019-12-17-1108, Council awarded a Professional Services Contract in the amount of $1,392,900 to Indigo of Davis, CA, for architectural design and engineering/construction drawings for Tenant Improvements to the Waterfront Towers for the Relocation of City Hall project.
Professional Services Contract Amendments Nos. 1 through 11 with Indigo were previously approved for various changes needed during the design and construction phases. In the construction phase, the architect plays an integral role in providing design support. Building remodel projects of this size and complexity often experience unforeseen site conditions that require a team approach to resolve.
The contractor, architect, and construction management staff all collaborate to resolve construction issues. The architect is required to respond to requests for information from the contractor because they are the architect of record. Construction issues often require input from the architect, or modification to the original design to address field conditions. While these issues are expected to decrease as the project progresses, the volume of changes on a project of this size require constant attention. The project is nearing completion and Professional Services Contract Amendment No. 12 with Indio is necessary to continue architectural support through completion and closeout of the project.
On November 16, 2021, by Resolution No. 2021-11-16-1205, Council awarded a Professional Services Contract in the amount of $722,000 to Griffin of Santa Clara, CA, for construction management services for the New City Hall Renovations and Relocation, Project No. E016015.
Professional Services Contract Amendments Nos. 1 through 7 with Griffin were previously approved for additional enhanced scheduling, material testing, handling of field changes and material supply chain issues, utilities coordination, and other project issues that extended the time needed to complete the project. Griffin provides the day-to-day inspection, oversight, reporting and other contract management duties. Professional Services Contract Amendment No. 8 with Griffin is necessary to continue managing daily construction activities through completion and closeout of the project.
On May 3, 2022, by Resolution No. 2022-05-03-0902, Council awarded a Construction Contract in the amount of $42,348,123 to Roebbelen of El Dorado Hills, CA, for construction of the New City Hall Renovations and Relocation, Project No. E016015. CCO Nos. 1 through 25 with Roebbelen were previously approved to accommodate unforeseen circumstances, upgrading building systems to current building code requirements, and additional work requested by the City. These types of changes are common in a building re-model project. CCO No. 26 with Roebbelen is necessary for floorplan revisions, temporary elevator related work, as well as various courtyard, restroom, lighting, City of Stockton Printed on 10/30/2025Page 3 of 5

and access door items to address additional changes to the project that are occurring as the project reaches the end of construction and closeout.
On June 18, 2024, by Resolution No. 2024-06-18-1218, Council awarded a Construction Contract in the amount of $4,401,044.10 to Knife River of Stockton, CA, for construction of the Stockton City Hall Parking Lot, Project No. E016015-A. CCO Nos. 1 and 2 with Knife River were previously approved for off-site paving work, upgrading electrical due to vandalism, storm drain modifications, and other unforeseen site issues. The anticipated CCO with Knife River is for additional electrical site work, security access, irrigation and planting, and closeout of the project.
