APPROVE MOTION TO AUTHORIZE CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER NO. 2 FOR STATE

LEGISLATIVE CONSULTING AND ADVOCACY CONTRACT

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a motion to authorize Contract Change Order No. 2, in the amount of $114,888.00, with Kyra Emanuels Ross (formerly Emanuels Jones & Associates), for State Legislative Consulting and Advocacy Services.

It is also recommended that the City Manager, or designee, be authorized to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this motion.

Summary
On December 7, 2021, by Motion 2021-12-07-1201, the Stockton City Council awarded a three-year Professional Services Contract, in the amount of $315,900.00, to Emanuels Jones and Associates, of Sacramento, CA for State Legislative Consulting and Advocacy Services.

To date, the City Manager has administratively approved one Contract Change Order (CCO) under this contract. On January 1, 2025, CCO No. 1 was approved, exercising the option to extend the contract term for one year through a written amendment executed by both parties. The term of CCO No. 1 is January 1, 2025 - December 31, 2025, and the annual rate of $111,540 is covered under the compensation provision of the original contract allowing for negotiation based on the local Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Council approval is required for CCO No. 2, in the amount of $114,888. Council approval is required as the cumulative amount of CCO Nos. 1 and 2 will exceed the administrative change order authority allowed under the existing contract.

It is recommended that Council approve a motion to authorize CCO No. 2, in the amount of $114,888.00, with Kyra Emanuels Ross, for State Legislative Consulting and Advocacy Services (Attachment A). The annual rate for CCO No. 2 includes quarterly registration and filing fees of $75 with the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC), as mandated by the Lobbying Disclosure Act.

The revised contract amount will be $542,328.

DISCUSSION
Background

legislation or rulemaking. This is most effectively done through the use of professional consulting services to represent the City in carrying out its Legislative Program and advocating its public policy positions, concerns, needs, and recommendations at the federal and state levels.

On December 7, 2021, by Motion 2021-12-07-1201, Council awarded a three-year Professional Services Contract, in the amount of $315,900.00, to Emanuels Jones and Associates, of Sacramento, CA for State Legislative Consulting and Advocacy Services. The Professional Services Contract allowed for two optional one-year extensions.

On November 24, 2024, CCO No. 1, in the amount of $111,540.00, was approved under the administrative change order authority allowed under the existing contract.

Present Situation
Council approval is required for CCO No. 2, in the amount of $114,888. Council approval is required as the cumulative amount of CCO Nos. 1 and 2 will exceed the administrative change order authority allowed under the existing contract. The final extension option, for the term of January 1 - December 31, 2026, has been negotiated with a modest increase based on the local CPI.

It is recommended that Council approve a motion to authorize CCO No. 2, in the amount of $114,888.00, with Kyra Emanuels Ross, for State Legislative Consulting and Advocacy Services. The annual rate for CCO No. 2 includes quarterly registration and filing fees of $75 with the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC), as mandated by the Lobbying Disclosure Act. The revised contract amount will be $542,328.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The contract for State Legislative Consulting and Advocacy Services is encumbered on a fiscal year basis. Funding for this Professional Services Contract is allocated through the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Non-Departmental Special Services account.

ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 2, CHAPTER 2.94 OF THE STOCKTON MUNICIPAL

CODE REGARDING THE STOCKTON ARTS COMMISSION TO REDUCE COMMISSION

MEMBERSHIP SIZE

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:

2. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to take all appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of the ordinance.

Summary
The proposed amendment to the Stockton Municipal Code reduces the membership size of the Stockton Arts Commission from fifteen (15) members to seven (7) members, including one (1) Youth Commissioner. The adjustment is designed to improve meeting efficiency, ensure consistent quorum achievement, and better reflect the size and structure of the City Council.

DISCUSSION
Background
The Stockton Arts Commission, established under SMC Chapter 2.94, serves as an advisory body to the City Council in matters related to arts, culture, and public art programming. The Commission’s responsibilities include developing an annual arts plan, recommending public art funding, and supporting initiatives that promote arts accessibility and cultural vitality throughout the City.

Previously, the City’s arts bodies consisted of twenty-four (24) positions, fifteen (15) on the Stockton Arts Commission and nine (9) on the Public Art Advisory Committee. Over the years, declining resources and ongoing vacancies made it difficult to maintain full participation across both groups, and the Public Art Advisory Committee gradually became inactive. As a result, the number of active members naturally consolidated to the fifteen (15) Stockton Arts Commission members who continue to perform the core responsibilities today.

The Commission currently consists of seats for fifteen (15) members appointed by the Mayor and City Council. Over time, this large membership size has created challenges in maintaining full representation and achieving quorum, occasionally delaying Commission actions and votes.

City of Stockton Page 1 of 2 Printed on 12/3/2025
powered by Legistar™ 62
File #: 25-1375, Version: 1
Present Situation
To enhance governance alignment and operational efficiency, staff recommends reducing the membership size from fifteen (15) to seven (7) members. The Commission currently has seven (7) active members, including the Youth Commissioner, and this proposed size mirrors the structure of the Stockton City Council while promoting a more manageable and engaged advisory body.

The proposed changes within Section 2.94.040 (“Membership”) of the Stockton Municipal Code, as reflected in Attachment A - Proposed Ordinance - Redline, include:

1. Reduction of Membership Size: From fifteen (15) to seven (7) members, including one (1) Youth Commissioner.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
There is no direct fiscal impact on the General Fund related to this action.

APPROVE FINDINGS AND AWARD A FIVE-YEAR CONTRACT TO AQUEOUS VETS, LLC FOR

THE PURCHASE OF ION EXCHANGE RESIN AND MEDIA EXCHANGE SERVICES

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution to:

1. Approve findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code Section 3.68.070 which support and justify an exception to the competitive bidding process.

2. Award a five-year contract in the not-to-exceed amount of $1,513,567.59 to AqueoUS Vets, LLC of Redding, CA for ion exchange resin and media exchange services. (Exhibit 1 to the Resolution).

It is also recommended that the City Manager be authorized to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution.

Summary
The Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) includes three utilities supported by user fees and regulated for the protection of public health and the environment. The Water Utility provides drinking water service to the northern and southern regions of the Stockton Metropolitan Area, while the California Water Service Company and San Joaquin County serve the central region. The Delta Water Treatment Plant (DWTP), which began operation in May 2012, supplies up to 30 million gallons per day of potable water from the San Joaquin River Delta and Mokelumne River.

The MUD staff constructed wellhead treatment improvements to rehabilitate South Stockton System Groundwater Well No. 8 (SSS8) located in District 6 next to Ernie Shropshire Park. Wellhead treatment for removal of water quality constituents and contaminants is a standard industry practice to meet new State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Drinking Water Standards and State law detailed in Assembly Bill 756. The ion exchange system uses resins that have a finite service life and require replacement under a regular maintenance program.

If approved by the City Council, this action will award a five-year contract in the amount not-toexceed $1,513,567.59 to AqueoUS Vets, LLC to replace ion exchange resins under a maintenance program to enhance water quality in south Stockton.

DISCUSSION
Background
As listed in the most recent MUD Water Utility Master Plan and Urban Water Management Plan, there are two drinking water supply sources for the South Stockton System (SSS), including potable water purchased from Stockton East Water District and groundwater wells. Currently, there are a total of five groundwater wells in the South Stockton System, and three wells are in active status. The remaining groundwater wells were placed in inactive status and require rehabilitation prior to being brought back into service.

In 2024, MUD completed construction of wellhead treatment improvements at Groundwater Well SSS8, located in District 6 next to Ernie Shropshire Park in south Stockton. Improvements included the installation of an ion exchange system that uses Purolite Purofine resins in the filtration process to provide south Stockton residents with high-quality drinking water that meets all State and Federal regulations.

The ion exchange system uses Purolite Purofine resins that have a finite service life of approximately 12 months and require replacement under a regular maintenance program. If the resins are not replaced under the maintenance program, drinking water quality may fail to meet State and Federal standards, and Groundwater Well SSS8 may need to halt production.

Present Situation
Ion exchange resins must be replaced periodically to ensure the filtration system continues to perform as designed by the manufacturer. To prevent resins from exceeding their service life, MUD staff have developed a maintenance program to replace them regularly.

AqueoUS Vets (AV) is the only regional supplier able to complete a media change of the ion exchange Purolite Purofine resins and properly dispose of the spent media. The use of a different resin would require staff to design and install a different filtration system.

Staff recommends the approval of a five-year contract with AV to replace ion exchange media (Exhibit 1 to the Resolution). The annual cost of each media exchange is $236,863 with a five percent escalation each year.

Findings
Pursuant to the Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) section 3.68.070, the City Council may approve findings which support and justify an exception to the competitive bidding process. The following findings support and justify an exception:

1. Ion exchange media have a limited service life and must be replaced periodically to preserve the quality of the filtration treatment process and the production of high-quality drinking water.

2. It is in the public interest to establish a maintenance program to preserve system integrity and reliability, meet drinking water standards, and the requirements of State and Federal law.

powered by Legistar™ 77
File #: 25-1302, Version: 1

3. Maintaining the drinking water production system with the current type of resins is more costeffective than replacing them with a different filtration system due to the supporting infrastructure, piping, structures, connections, electrical, tooling, and instrumentation in place for the existing ion exchange system. Therefore, using the current type of resins is in the best interest of the public.

4. AqueoUS Vets, LLC is the only vendor that supplies the ion exchange resins used in the wellhead treatment and capable of replacing ion exchange media services that are the correct type for Groundwater Well SSS8 wellhead treatment.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The total cost of the estimated media exchanges over the five-year term is $1,513,567.59. There are sufficient funds in the Water Well Production account 6515-000-800001-600-000-00-65-000-000 for the first year of services. Funds for future years will be appropriated as part of the annual budget process.

This action has no impact on the General Fund or any other unrestricted funds.

b. It is in the public interest to establish a maintenance program to preserve system integrity and reliability, meet drinking water standards, and the requirements of State and Federal law.
79 c. Maintaining the drinking water production system with the current type of resins is more cost-effective than replacing them with a different filtration system due to the supporting infrastructure, piping, structures, connections, electrical, tooling, and instrumentation in place for the existing ion exchange system.

APPROVE CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 7 WITH ROBERTSON-BRYAN, INC. FOR PROJECT

MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR THE REGIONAL WASTEWATER CONTROL FACILITY

MODIFICATIONS PROJECT

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a motion to authorize Contract Amendment No. 7 with Robertson-Bryan, Inc., of Elk Grove, CA. This amendment, in the amount of $311,533, extends the contract for professional engineering services necessary to complete the Regional Wastewater Control Facility (RWCF) Modifications Project.

It is further recommended that the City Manager be authorized to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this motion.

Summary
The Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) includes three utilities supported by user fees and regulated for the protection of public health and the environment: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater. The Wastewater Utility operates a sanitary sewer system with about 900 miles of gravity mains, 554 miles of lower laterals, 27 pump stations, and 30 miles of force mains that convey sewage to the Regional Wastewater Control Facility (RWCF) for treatment. The system serves properties within the City, nearby special districts, and parts of San Joaquin County. The RWCF is an advanced tertiary wastewater treatment plant with a 55 million gallons per day capacity located next to the San Joaquin River.

On November 15, 2016, the Stockton City Council awarded a Progressive Design-Build Contract with AECOM Infrastructure and W.M. Lyles, Inc., a Joint Venture (JV), for the RWCF Modifications Project improvements identified in the 2011 Capital Improvement and Energy Management Plan (CIEMP) and necessary to meet treated wastewater discharge limits stipulated by the Regional Water Quality Control Board.

The RWCF Modifications Project includes key upgrades to comply with permit required effluent limits, in addition to replacing equipment and processes that are 40 to 70 years old and beyond their useful life.

If approved by the City Council, this action will add $311,533 to the existing contract with RobertsonBryan Inc. (RBI) and extend its term by three months to support the continual provision of project management services through the completion of the RWCF Modifications Project. Contract Amendment No. 7 will revise the total contract amount to $4,511,222 and extend it until March 31, 2026.

DISCUSSION
Background
On August 8, 2017, by Motion No. 2017-08-08-1105, the City Council awarded a $991,362 Professional Services Contract with RBI, to provide project management services for the RWCF Modifications Project.

On July 30, 2019, by Motion No. 2019-07-30-1104, the City Council authorized contract change order No. 2 for $2,748,524 with RBI to increase project management staffing and provide project management services until October 11, 2023.

Subsequent contract amendments increased the contract amount by $459,803 to $4,199,021 and extended the contract term until December 31, 2025.

Present Situation
The JV is nearing the fulfillment of all substantial and final completion requirements necessary to close out the RWCF Modifications Project. To achieve these requirements, the JV is required to deliver a fully automatic, operable tertiary treatment system, and a finalized Acceptance Test Report for the facility.

The MUD operations staff has encountered complications with the new tertiary system. The JV and MUD operations and management teams are currently investigating the causes of system issues and the required adjustments necessary to achieve full operations and acceptance approval.

To support the successful completion of the project including the commissioning and acceptance of the tertiary treatment system, staff recommend amending the contract for project management services necessary to ensure that all remaining tasks and close out reports are completed to fully comply with project requirements.

Staff recommend the City Council approve Amendment No. 7 with Robertson-Bryan, Inc. of Elk Grove, CA, in the amount of $311,533, for a term of an additional three months (Attachment A).

If approved, this action will authorize RBI to continue providing project management services through the completion of Phase 2 of the RWCF Modifications Project, anticipated to occur in spring 2026.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
There are sufficient funds available in the Wastewater Capital Improvement Project UW16022, account 6518-000-800007-610-612-00-65-000-000 to fund Amendment No. 7 for $311,533 with RBI to provide professional project management and engineering services.

This action has no impact on the General Fund or any other restricted funds.

CITY OF STOCKTON

STANDARD AGREEMENT AMENDMENT
This Amendment Number 7 to the above-referenced Agreement is entered into on __________________:
between the City of Stockton (“City”) and Robertson-Bryan, Inc. “Contractor”.

RECITALS
Exhibit C General Terms and Conditions, Paragraph 7 Changes, states the City may modify the scope of services and any material extension or change in the scope shall be memorialized in a written amendment prior to the performance of additional work; and
Exhibit C General Terms and Conditions, Paragraph 8 Amendment, states no variation of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid unless an Amendment is made in writing and signed by both parties; and The City needs to add funds and renew the term specified in Paragraph 2 of the Standard Agreement to extend project management services because the RWCF Modifications Project schedule is extended due to:
• Necessary efforts to troubleshooting the disinfection system, corrective measures, Acceptance Testing, and completion of all contract requirements.
• This amendment will extend the contract with RBI to March 31, 2026, to provide project management as well as various reporting to the State.

Now, therefore, the City and the Contractor mutually agree as follows:

APPROVE FINDINGS AND AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE OF MEMBRANE FILTERS FROM

FILMTEC CORPORATION FOR THE DELTA WATER TREATMENT PLANT

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution to:

1. Approve findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code Section 3.68.070 which support and justify an exception to the competitive bidding process.

2. Authorize the purchase of membrane filters from FilmTec Corporation for $549,575.66.

It is also recommended that the City Manager be authorized to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution.

Summary
The Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) includes three utilities supported by user fees and regulated for the protection of public health and the environment. The Water Utility provides drinking water service to the northern and southern regions of the Stockton Metropolitan Area, while the California Water Service Company and San Joaquin County serve the central region. The Delta Water Treatment Plant (DWTP), which began operation in May 2012, supplies up to 30 million gallons per day or nearly 1 billion gallons per year of water supplied from the San Joaquin River Delta and Mokelumne River.

The DWTP uses advanced membrane ultra-filtration to provide Stockton residents with high-quality drinking water that meets all State and Federal regulations. Under its maintenance program, MUD maintenance staff replace these membrane filters on a regular schedule to maintain adequate water filtration at the treatment plant.

Currently, FilmTec Corporation (formerly Evoqua Water Technologies, Inc.) is the only manufacturer of membrane filter units approved by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) that are the correct size for the membrane filtration system used at the DWTP. Accordingly, FilmTec Corporation serves as the sole-source vendor for the required filter units.

If approved by the City Council, this action will authorize the purchase of 408 membrane filter units from FilmTec Corporation in the amount of $549,575.66.

DISCUSSION
Background
When the DWTP was designed and constructed, the project team installed advanced membrane ultra-filtration in the treatment process to provide Stockton residents with high-quality drinking water that meets all State and Federal regulations. The membrane filtration system uses filter units that have a finite service life of five to ten years and require replacement under a regular maintenance program. If the filters are not replaced under the maintenance program, drinking water quality may fail to meet State and Federal standards, and the DWTP may need to reduce production.

On December 31, 2019, the Memcor membrane product line was purchased from Evoqua Water Technologies LLC by DuPont de Nemours Inc. (DuPont) and is now operating under the DuPont FilmTec Corporation business unit. Contracts for the supply of Memcor membranes were transferred to FilmTec Corporation with the sale of the Memcor product line, including all associated bonds and insurance certificates. FilmTec Corporation now fully owns the Memcor business line.

Present Situation
Membrane filter units have a finite service life of five to ten years and must be replaced to ensure the filtration system continues to perform as designed by the manufacturer. To prevent filters from exceeding their service life and to maintain the filtration system’s performance, MUD maintenance staff have developed a program to replace two membrane skids each year. Each membrane filter skid contains 204 filter units, totaling 408 filter units for two skids. This ongoing maintenance program ensures the membrane filtration system remains properly maintained and operable into the future.

The use of membrane filter technology requires approval from the SWRCB. FilmTec Corporation is currently the only SWRCB-approved manufacturer of membrane filter units that are the correct type and size for installation at DWTP.

If approved by the City Council, this action will authorize the purchase of 408 membrane filter units from FilmTec Corporation to service two membrane filter skids. The cost of the filter units is $549,575.66 (Exhibit 1 to the Resolution). After purchase and delivery, MUD maintenance staff will install the new filters to keep high-quality drinking water flowing to Stockton residents.

1. FilmTec Corporation is the only vendor that sells the membrane filter units that meet National Sanitation Foundation standards approved by the SWRCB and that are the correct type and size for the DWTP membrane filter skid.

2. Membrane filter replacement is a standard maintenance practice required to preserve the quality of the filtration treatment process and the production of high-quality drinking water. If City of Stockton Page 2 of 3 Printed on 12/3/2025
powered by Legistar™112
File #: 25-1328, Version: 1
the filter units are not replaced before the end of service life, the City's water production may fail to meet State and Federal standards.

3. Because the existing infrastructure and equipment were built for the current membranes, continuing to use this membrane type is far more cost-effective than switching to a new filtration system. Therefore, maintaining the current membranes is in the public’s best interest.

4. The membrane filtration system warranty covers material costs for repairs due to defective membrane filters. The use of any membrane filter not supplied by FilmTec Corporation will void the existing warranty.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The cost of 408 membrane filter units from FilmTec Corporation filters is $549,575.66. The FY 2025- 26 Annual Budget includes appropriation to cover the purchase and delivery of membrane filters in the Water Utility Fund, Buildings and Structures account 6513-511-800001-600-000-00-65-000-000.

This action has no impact on the General Fund or any other unrestricted funds.

Resolution No.

STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL

RESOLUTION APPROVING FINDINGS AND AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF

MEMBRANE FILTERS FROM FILMTEC CORPORATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $549,575.66 FOR THE DELTA WATER TREATMENT PLANT
The water treatment process at the Delta Water Treatment Plant (DWTP) was designed and constructed with advanced ultra-filtration membranes to provide highquality drinking water for Stockton's residents and to meet all State and Federal regulations; and
Membrane filter replacement every five to ten years is part of the regular maintenance program required to keep the treatment plant in operation; and On December 31, 2019, the Memcor product line was purchased from Evoqua Water Technologies LLC by DuPont de Nemours Inc. (DuPont) and is now operating under DuPont's FilmTec Corporation business unit; and
FilmTec Corporation is currently the only approved manufacturer of membrane filters for water treatment by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) that are the correct type and size for the DWTP; and
Staff recommends the purchase of filter units for two membrane skids from FilmTec Corporation for $549,575.66. Installation of the filter units will be completed by the MUD maintenance staff; now, therefore,

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:

1. The City Council hereby approves the following findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code Section 3.68.070 to support and justify an exception to the competitive bidding process:
a. FilmTec Corporation is the only vendor that sells the membrane filter units that meet National Sanitation Foundation standards approved by the SWRCB and that are the correct type and size for the DWTP membrane filter skid.
b. Membrane filter replacement is a standard maintenance practice required to preserve the quality of the filtration treatment process and the production of high-quality drinking water. If the filter units are not replaced before the end of service life, the City's water production may fail to meet State and Federal standards.
114
c. Because the existing infrastructure and equipment were built for the current membranes, continuing to use this membrane type is far more cost-effective than switching to a new filtration system. Therefore, maintaining the current membranes is in the public’s best interest. d. The membrane filtration system warranty covers material costs for repairs due to defective membrane filters. The use of any membrane filter not supplied by FilmTec Corporation will void the existing warranty.

2. The City Council authorizes the purchase of 408 membrane filter units from FilmTec Corporation (formerly Evoqua Water Technologies, Inc.) quoted in the amount of $549,575.66, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1 and incorporated by this reference.

DISCUSSION
Background
On November 1, 2016, the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board issued the City of Stockton a revised Stormwater National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit (Order No. R5-2016-0040-002). The NPDES Permit is a regulatory program under the Clean Water Act administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state agencies. It is designed to control water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge stormwater runoff into waters of the United States.

Verona Estates, Zone 16 (Attachment B) consists of a 20-lot subdivision in the southeastern area of the City of Stockton. Lots 1 through 16 will be required to participate in the maintenance of the improvement. Lots 17 through 20 will not use the device and are not subject to the assessment.

Individual private bioretention areas for each lot will not be maintained by the assessment district.

These areas will be maintained by each individual property owner.

To comply with the SWQCCP and NPDES permit requirements, the Verona Estates, Zone 16 subdivision proposed to install and maintain a Contech CDS 2015-4-C Hydrodynamic Separator (Separator) on Susan Way. The Separator is a stormwater treatment device approved by the City of Stockton SWQCCP for treating stormwater runoff from this project site.

Present Situation
The Conditions of Approval for any development project require Owners/Developers/Successors-inInterest (ODS) to install certain public stormwater quality improvements and provide operations and maintenance services for the proposed treatment features. As a result, and if approved, Verona Estates, Zone 16, will be created within the existing Consolidated Storm Drainage Maintenance Assessment District No. 2005-1 (Attachment C) to fund costs associated with operating, maintaining, and replacing the Separator.

Funding for Zone 16 will be provided through an annual assessment based on the stormwater runoff from individual parcels. The initial annual assessment for each Verona Estates, Zone 16, parcel in FY 2026-27 totals $1,244.38. Subsequent assessments will be presented to the City Council for consideration annually.

The maximum annual assessment may increase each year by the greater of 3% or the rise in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), if needed to cover higher maintenance costs.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The City of Stockton has no financial responsibility for the Stockton Consolidated Storm Drainage Maintenance Assessment District No. 2005-1 annexation, Zone 16 formation, or ongoing maintenance. All costs are paid by the property owner/developer through the annual tax roll.

This annexation sets a maximum assessment. The actual FY 2026-2027 levy on developed parcels will be set during the annual Stockton Consolidated Storm Drainage Maintenance District 2005-1 City of Stockton Page 2 of 3 Printed on 12/4/2025

The Honorable Mayor and
City Council of the City of
Stockton, CA
To Whom It May Concern:

This report is prepared pursuant to and in compliance with the requirements of the “Municipal Improvement Act of 1913,” as amended, commencing with the Streets and Highways code sections 10000, et. Seq. and the Stockton Improvement Procedure Code, Part V, commencing with the code sections 9-101, et seq, for the creation of a new Zone (Verona Estates Zone 16) in the Stockton Consolidated Storm Drainage Maintenance Assessment District No. 2005-1.

BACKGROUND
The Verona Estates project consists of a 20-lot residential subdivision in the southeastern portion of the City of Stockton. The development is being pursued by Sucha Singh Sihota, Jagdish Singh Grewal, and Rajwant Grewal. This project includes drainage improvements which require annual maintenance. The project has elected to use a proprietary device for the treatment of stormwater runoff per the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS4) permit requirements. This report is relative to the proposed Verona Estates Zone 16 of the City of Stockton Consolidated Storm Drainage Maintenance Assessment District, which provides annual funds for the maintenance of various public storm drainage improvements. Exhibit A, the proposed annexation roll, details how each lot will be assessed.

ASSESSMENT DISTRICT AREA
The area proposed to be formed into Zone 16 is described as all of the property within the following assessor’s parcels identified by assessor’s number (APN):

Book Page Parcels
173 004 007
A Boundary Map is attached to this Engineer’s Report as Exhibit B. The Assessment Diagram for Verona Estates Zone 16 is attached to the Engineer’s Report as Exhibit C. A County Assessors Map is also included. Exhibit D shows the areas to be maintained.

PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
As various phases of this project are developed, plans and specifications for the storm drainage improvements to be maintained by the funds generated by Verona Estates Zone 16 are filed separately with the City of Stockton and are incorporated into this report by reference.

DESCRIPTION AND FACILITIES TO BE MAINTAINED
Public storm drainage improvements are to be installed by the developers as part of the Conditions of Approval for the Verona Estates project. Verona Estates Zone 16 was created to provide funding for the continued maintenance of the storm drainage facilities, which are described below. Lots 1 through 16 will be required to participate in the maintenance of the improvement below. Lots 17 through 20 will not use the device below and are not subject to the assessment. During the installation period for each phase, the developer will maintain the new drainage improvements until the following June 30, at which time the new areas shall be incorporated into the storm drainage improvements already being maintained by the District. Individual private bioretention areas for each lot will not be maintained by the assessment district. These areas will be maintained by the individual property owner.

The following improvements shall be included in Zone 16 upon their completion.

1. Description of Improvements
A. Contech CDS 2015-4-C Hydrodynamic Separator to be maintained on Susan Way.

ALLOCATION OF COSTS
Assessments for the Verona Estates Storm Drainage Maintenance Assessment District are apportioned in a manner intended to fairly distribute the amounts among all assessable developed parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such parcel. The assessment shall be levied on the basis of the adjusted drainage areas of each such lot and/or parcel. A parcel is considered as being developed by reason of having been included as a lot or parcel in the recorded Final Map(s) or being included within the active developed area in the case of an existing parcel. The criteria for apportioning the costs for the maintenance makes use of a dwelling unit equivalent Factor (dueF) to calculate the benefit for all uses in terms of equivalent dwelling units.

The terms, definitions, and procedures followed to develop the annual assessments are as follows:

1. Calculation of Runoff Coefficient
All developed parcels shall be directly proportional to a single-family residential development, assuming 5 developed single-family lots per acre with a runoff coefficient of

0.35. Example Calculation:

Determine dueF per acre for a developed parcel with a runoff coefficient of 0.65.

Parcel (Developed)

0.65 =
5 Single-Family (Developed)

0.35 = Parcel (Developed) = 9.3 dueF per acre

129
Engineer’s Report
Verona Estates Zone 16
October 14, 2025

Page 3 of 6 ends

2. Dwelling Unit Equivalent Factor (dueF)
The dueF for each use is as follows:

A. Single-Family Residential
All parcels developed for single-family use shall be determined to have a runoff coefficient of 0.35 and a dueF of 1.0 for each parcel.

3. Computation
Annually, about March 15, following the determination of the dueF for all developed parcels and the determination of the list of developed parcels by APN for the next fiscal year, all single-family residential parcels shall have a due assigned to each parcel equal to the dueF for that parcel. For developed parcels, the sum of the due assigned to each singlefamily due for each other parcel shall equal the total due for the next fiscal year. The total amount of revenue required for the next fiscal year shall then be divided by the total due to calculate the assessment per due for the next fiscal year. Parcels defined as not developed for the purposes of determining the storm drainage maintenance assessments will all have a zero dueF and consequently a zero due and a zero assessment.

4. Allocation of Assessments
The assessment for maintenance for the next fiscal year shall then be set for each parcel as the product of the calculated dwelling unit equivalent (due) for each parcel, multiplied by the assessment per due for the next fiscal year.

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT SPREAD
In compliance with the provisions of Proposition 218, adding Article XIII D to the California Constitution, the benefits conferred on each parcel within Zone 16 of the Stockton Consolidated Storm Drainage Maintenance Assessment District No. 96-2 are particular and distinct benefits (hereinafter “special benefits”) over and above general benefits conferred on such property or to the public at large, in that the individual number-designated zones in the District each represents a common unit to provide storm drainage quality control for the development of the property within the individual number-designated zones in the District generally for residential and related urban uses. Benefits are determined to be 100% special benefits and 0% general benefits. Also, in keeping with the requirements of Proposition 218, no annual individual assessments shall be increased above the amounts assessed under the established criteria for each zone for the preceding fiscal year without an election approval, except as provided by the annual escalation factor.

The assessments are to be levied on the basis of the adjusted drainage areas of each such lots and/or parcels.

Pursuant to Article XIII D, Section 4, of the California Constitution, publicly owned properties which receive special benefit from the improvements must be assessed a proportionate share of the costs thereof.

Engineer’s Report
Verona Estates Zone 16
October 14, 2025

Page 4 of 6 ends

The base objective of the assessment spread is to distribute costs in accordance with the benefits received. Costs will be spread equally to each residential lot.

ANNUAL ESCALATION
The maximum assessment amount for each fiscal year shall be increased in an amount equal to the greater of: 1) three percent (3.0%), or 2) the percentage increase of the Local Consumer Price Index (CPI). Consumer Price Index applied is for the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose County Area for All Urban Consumers, as developed by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for a similar period of time.

ADMINISTRATION
It is intended that the City of Stockton, either directly or by subcontract, shall have the responsibility to establish an ongoing Storm Drainage Maintenance Management entity to be known as the Storm Drainage Maintenance District Manager which shall be responsible to establish the annual budget, keep an accounting of the maintenance and operational administrative costs, administer and perform the storm drain maintenance either directly or by subcontract, pay all fees, utility costs, taxes, and any and all other operating costs.

ESTIMATE OF COSTS
The estimated costs are for public storm drainage maintenance only. All initial improvements will be installed by the developer, at no cost to the Storm Drainage Maintenance Assessment District.

The cost of maintaining the improvements will be paid by the developer to the District through the end of the fiscal year (June 30) and until such time as sufficient funds (not to exceed the total maximum assessment) are available from the District’s annual assessments.

Items considered in the maintenance cost include, but are not limited to: regularly scheduled maintenance, and facility repair and replacement at the end of its useful life.

STORM DRAINAGE MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT
The Verona Estates development is required to ensure that all property owners within the subdivision pay their proportionate share of the cost to maintain the storm drainage quality control facilities within the service area for the subdivision or serving the subdivision.

The annual costs estimated to be collected with the 2026-27 taxes for the initially developed area are as follows.

STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL

RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO ANNEX TERRITORY TO A MUNICIPAL

IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT AND TO FORM A ZONE TO MAINTAIN AND OPERATE

STORM DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS, PROVIDE ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS,

APPROVE A PROPOSED BOUNDARY MAP AND APPOINT ENGINEER OF WORK

CITY OF STOCKTON

STOCKTON CONSOLIDATED STORM DRAINAGE MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 2005-1
VERONA ESTATES - ZONE 16
The City of Stockton proposes to annex territory into an existing municipal improvement district, initiate special assessment proceedings for the annexation and formation of Verona Estates, (Zone 16), and assess annual storm drainage operation and maintenance costs to the benefiting parcels in Zone 16; and The storm drainage improvements to be maintained in Zone 16, as described in Exhibit A, will serve the property within Zone 16 in accordance with the subdivision’s development agreement between the owner and the City; and The public interest and conveniences will be served by the proposed proceedings; and
These proceedings finance the ongoing maintenance, repair, replacement, and operation of the storm drainage improvements in Zone 16, installed or to be installed by the owner at no cost to the City of Stockton. Annual costs will be assessed to benefit lots and parcels based on adjusted drainage acres, as calculated each year by the appointed engineer. The engineer will submit an annual budget and assessment roll to the City Clerk and City Council for approval, in accordance with Article 5 of Division of the City Improvement Procedure Code; and
Under the authority of the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 and the Stockton Improvement Procedure Code, the City Council intends to annex territory to a municipal improvement district and form Zone 16 to fund the annual repair, replacement, maintenance, and operation of storm drainage improvements through annual assessments on benefiting parcels within Zone 16; and
The City Council finds that the land specially benefited by the storm drainage improvements is shown on the map titled “Proposed Amended Boundaries (Verona Estates Annexation) of Stockton Consolidated Storm Drainage Maintenance Assessment District No. 2005-1,” on file with the City Clerk and presented at this 137
meeting. This area shall be designated as the “Verona Estates Annexation, Stockton Consolidated Storm Drainage Maintenance Assessment District No. 2005-1”; and The City Council desires to designate an Engineer of Work; and Pursuant to Article XIIID, Section 4 of the California Constitution, publicly owned properties benefiting from the improvements must pay a proportionate share of the costs; now, therefore,

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:

1. Recitals. The above recitals are true and correct, and the City Council so finds and determines.

2. Intention. The public interest requires, and the City Council intends, to annex territory and create Zone 16 to levy annual assessments covering the costs of maintaining and operating storm drainage improvements serving Zone 16. These costs may include rent, repairs, equipment replacement, utilities, supervision, and any necessary replacements, improvements, or extensions to ensure proper operation.

3. Division 4 Exception. Under Section 2086 of the California Streets and Highways Code, Division 4 of that Code does not apply to these proceedings.

4. Law Applicable. The annexation proceedings and formation of Zone 16 will follow the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 (Division 12, Sections 10000 and following) and the Stockton Improvement Procedure Code (Stockton Code).

5. Consent. All property owners subject to assessment have submitted written consents to the City Clerk for the annexation and formation of Zone 16, which are hereby accepted.

6. Special Benefit and Boundary Map. In the City Council’s opinion, the maintenance and operation of the storm drainage improvements provide more than local benefit. The costs are therefore chargeable to Zone 16, as shown on the map on file with the City Clerk, which defines the zone’s boundaries and governs all related details.

7. Engineer’s Report. The annual operation and maintenance costs are referred to Wong Engineers, Inc., Stockton, California, as the Engineer of Work, who is directed to file a written report with the City Clerk including, among other items, the following:

A general description of the storm drainage improvements to be operated and maintained.
138
(a) A reasonable estimate of all costs and expenses of
maintaining and operating the improvements.
(b) A diagram showing, as they existed at the time of the passage of this Resolution, all the following:
(1) The exterior boundaries of the territory to be annexed to the assessment district.
(2) The boundaries of Zone 16.
(3) The lines and dimensions of each parcel in Zone 16.

Each subdivision on the diagram shall be assigned a separate number. If the diagram references county assessor’s maps for parcel boundaries and dimensions, those maps shall control all such details. (c) A proposed annual assessment of operation and maintenance costs for Zone 16, apportioned to each numbered subdivision based on its adjusted drainage acreage and estimated benefits.
(d) A proposed maximum assessment for each subdivision in the district.

See the Engineer’s Report for detailed descriptions of the improvements, annexation boundaries, and proposed assessments on assessable lots within the annexation area.

8. Public Hearing and Notice. Under the Act and Stockton Code, the City Council orders a Public Hearing on February 3, 2026, at the City Council Chambers, 425 N. El Dorado Street, Stockton, California, 95202, to decide on the annual storm drainage costs, the Engineer’s Report, annexation of territory, Zone 16, and related assessments.

ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE FINDINGS AND AWARD A CONTRACT TO HUBER TECHNOLOGY INC. FOR MATERIALS, ON-CALL REPAIR, AND MAINTENANCE SERVICES

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution to:

1. 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 be authorized to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution.

Summary
The Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) includes the Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater utilities that are supported by user fees and regulated for the protection of public health and the environment.

The Wastewater Utility operates the Regional Wastewater Control Facility (RWCF), which is an advanced tertiary wastewater treatment plant with a 55 million gallons per day capacity located next to the San Joaquin River.

The MUD staff operate and maintain equipment used in wastewater treatment including a multi-rake rotating bar screen used to remove floating debris in the Headworks facility. The new Rakemax system, manufactured by Huber Technology Inc., was installed as part of the RWCF Modifications Project and requires routine maintenance, parts and repair to work properly.

If approved by the City Council, this action will authorize a five-year contract with a not-to-exceed amount of $500,000 with Huber Technology Inc. of Denver, NC, for materials, on-call repair, and maintenance services (Exhibit 1 to the Resolution).

DISCUSSION
Background
During the RWCF Modifications Project, the Rakemax system was selected and installed to screen out debris in wastewater influent. The Rakemax system is a rotating bar screen that collects floating debris and prepares the debris for disposal. The Rakemax system is a proprietary brand that requires City of Stockton Page 1 of 2 Printed on 12/3/2025
powered by Legistar™142
File #: 25-1264, Version: 1
Huber Technology parts and certified services to maintain proper operation. Consequently, Huber Technology Inc. is the sole available source for parts and certified service. Following the installation of the system, MUD Maintenance staff were assigned the responsibility of overseeing the maintenance of the system.

Present Situation
The Rakemax system requires routine maintenance, parts and repair to work properly. The proposed contract with Huber Technology Inc. includes materials and services to ensure the system is properly maintained.

If approved by the City Council, this action will authorize a five-year contract with Huber Technology Inc. for a not-to-exceed amount of $500,000.

Findings
According to the Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) section 3.68.070, the City Council may approve findings which support and justify an exception to the competitive bidding process. The following findings support and justify an exception:

1. Huber Technology Inc. is the only source for Rakemax parts and repair services in the United States. Service repairs and parts are a standard maintenance practice required to preserve system operations and screening of wastewater influent.

2. The Rakemax system was installed during the RWCF Modifications Project.

3. The Rakemax system requires the use of original manufacturer parts and service for proper operation and lowest life-cycle cost. The use of any parts and services not supplied by Huber Technology Inc. cancels the existing warranty.

4. The continued maintenance and repair of the Rakemax system is more cost-effective than replacing it with an alternative system and, therefore, best serves public interest.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
There are sufficient funds in the Wastewater Maintenance Division accounts 6512-000-630013-610- 000-00-65-000-000 and 6512-000-650001-610-000-00-65-000-00 to cover parts, repair, and maintenance services for FY 2025-26. Funding for the remaining contract term will be budgeted in the same accounts, and subject to City Council approval during the annual budget process.

This action has no impact on the General Fund or any other unrestricted funds.

APPROVE FINDINGS AND A MOTION TO EXECUTE A STANDARD AGREEMENT WITH EPIC PRODUCTIONS OF PHOENIX, LLC, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $88,000

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a motion to:

1. Approve findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) §3.68.070 supporting an exception to the competitive bidding process (sole source) for online recruiting services; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a one-year Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Epic Productions of Phoenix, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $88,000. (Attachment A).

Summary
The Stockton Police Department (SPD) requests City Council approval of a one-year PSA with Epic Productions of Phoenix, LLC (Epic). Through this agreement, Epic will provide comprehensive recruitment services, including video production, photography, and development of a dedicated recruitment website to enhance SPD’s online presence and outreach efforts.

These services are designed to strengthen SPD’s ability to attract and hire a qualified and diverse workforce. By expanding recruitment visibility and improving engagement with prospective applicants, the proposed agreement will support SPD in addressing ongoing challenges related to obtaining a strong applicant pool for sworn personnel.

DISCUSSION
Background
Over the past year, SPD has experienced a steady decline in both the number of applicants for the Police Officer position and the number of candidates who successfully qualify for eligibility lists, a trend seen nationwide across law enforcement agencies.

To address this challenge, SPD expanded its search for digital recruitment solutions and marketing partners. During this process, Epic Productions of Phoenix, LLC was identified as one of the few firms capable of providing a comprehensive suite of recruitment services tailored to law enforcement, including video production, photography, and development of a dedicated recruitment website to City of Stockton Page 1 of 3 Printed on 12/3/2025
powered by Legistar™167
File #: 25-1342, Version: 1
enhance SPD’s online presence and outreach efforts.

On March 21, 2023, Council approved Motion 2023-03-21-1204, authorizing a one-year digital recruiting services agreement with Epic for an amount not to exceed $190,000. The system was implemented successfully and supported all areas of digital recruiting. When the contract expired on March 31, 2024, SPD entered into a six-month agreement, not to exceed $36,000, effective January 1 through June 30, 2025. At the end of that term, the need for continued services still remained.

Present Situation
SPD currently has more than fifty vacant law enforcement positions. These vacancies impact the SPD’s ability to advance the Council’s crime-reduction priorities. As vacancies continue to rise, leveraging specialized outside resources has become essential to strengthening recruitment efforts.

Epic Productions of Phoenix, LLC is the only vendor SPD has identified that focuses exclusively on law enforcement recruitment and offers a comprehensive, multi-faceted strategy to attract diverse and highly qualified candidates. Their work with agencies nationwide has produced strong, datasupported results, and they provide solutions that general marketing firms have been unable to match for SPD’s specific recruitment needs.

Under the proposed agreement, Epic Productions of Phoenix, LLC will deliver a full digital recruiting campaign, including video production, photography, social media content, a dedicated recruitment website, and ongoing maintenance and support.

With the prior contracts executed since 2023 totaling $226,000, staff recommends that the City Council approve a new PSA with Epic Productions of Phoenix, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $88,000 to continue providing online recruitment services.

Findings
Pursuant to SMC section 3.68.070, Council may approve findings that support an exception to the competitive bidding process. These findings include:

1. The Sole Source is appropriate for a recruiting campaign to expand outreach efforts to fill a steady vacancy of 50 plus law enforcement positions.

2. Epic is the only vendor SPD has identified that focuses solely on law enforcement recruitment and provides a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to attract a diverse yet qualified group of candidates.

3. Epic provides outreach strategies and a well-developed branding campaign to enhance current recruitment efforts to qualifying candidates.

4. Epic can seamlessly integrate new recruitment efforts to the existing SPD recruiting website.

Contracting with a new vendor may not deliver maximum results and could result in increased costs to the City.
