ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE SUBAGREEMENTS FOR THE 2026

CALIFORNIANSFORALL YOUTH JOBS CORPS PROGRAM

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

2. Approve findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code section 3.68.070 to support and justify an exception to the competitive bidding process.

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

Summary
With prior City Council action (Reso 2025-05-13-1205), the City of Stockton accepted CaliforniansForAll Youth Service Corps grant funding to support youth employment programs administered through qualified subgrantees. To continue program implementation during Calendar Year 2026, staff is recommending approval of new subgrantee agreements with two existing youth workforce providers. Although these agreements build upon previously approved program models and partnerships, State grant requirements prohibit the use of prior-year funds beyond their performance period, necessitating new contracts specific to the 2026 calendar year. Approval is requested retroactive to January 1, 2026, to ensure continuity of services and reimbursement eligibility.

DISCUSSION
Background
The CaliforniansForAll Youth Service Corps program is a statewide initiative administered by California Volunteers that supports youth employment and workforce development in key areas including food insecurity, climate, education, and public service. As part of this initiative, the City of Stockton administers grant funding directly and through subgrants to experienced community-based and public-sector providers that deliver paid employment opportunities, job readiness training, and wraparound services to eligible youth.

26 File #: 26-0043, Version: 1
Following acceptance of prior grant awards, the City established partnerships with multiple subgrantees that demonstrated capacity, compliance, and strong performance outcomes. These partnerships have enabled the City to implement successful youth workforce programs at scale, meeting all State reporting, fiscal, and audit requirements while serving 245 youth participants during the 2025 program year.

Present Situation
The City has been awarded additional CaliforniansForAll Youth Service Corps funding for Calendar Year 2026, covering the period from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026. Under the terms of the State grant, funds must be used exclusively within the designated calendar year and may not be carried forward or combined with funds from prior grant periods. As a result, subgrantee agreements for Calendar Year 2026 must be executed as new contracts rather than amendments to existing agreements. Staff is recommending approval of new agreements with two existing subgrantees that have previously delivered Youth Service Corps programming on behalf of the City and have demonstrated the ability to meet State performance and compliance requirements.

San Joaquin County Office of Education DBA Greater Valley Conservation Corps (GVCC) is a certified local conservation corps established in 2010 with a mission to inspire, educate, and serve youth through workforce development and environmental stewardship. GVCC will provide outreach and recruitment to serve youth aged 18-26, employing participants as Corpsmembers in career pathways related to environmental and waste management, natural resource management, and community improvement efforts. Wraparound services will be provided to support participant retention and successful program completion.

Main Street Youth & Family Services (MSYFS) is a nonprofit organization that provides youth workforce development programming designed to help participants transition into stable employment through paid work experience and supportive services. MSYFS will provide employment opportunities for youth aged 16-30 through agency-owned businesses and will deliver job readiness training, mentoring, leadership development, and transition planning services during program participation.

Consistent with State guidance, this funding was framed as an extension of the City’s existing Youth Service Corps grant program. Given the continuity of program design, provider performance, and State oversight requirements, staff did not conduct a new competitive procurement process. Approval of these agreements retroactive to January 1, 2026 will ensure uninterrupted service delivery and allow for reimbursement of eligible program costs incurred since the start of the grant period.

Findings
Pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code section 3.68.070, the Council may approve findings that support and justify an exception to the competitive bidding process.

The following findings support such an exception:

1. The recommended agreements continue previously approved youth workforce development programs implemented by existing subgrantees with demonstrated capacity, performance history, and compliance with State grant requirements.

City of Stockton Printed on 1/22/2026Page 2 of 3
powered by Legistar™
27 File #: 26-0043, Version: 1

2. The State of California framed the 2026 funding as an extension of the City’s existing Youth Service Corps grant and requires the use of calendar-year-specific funding, necessitating new agreements without materially changing program scope, providers, or services.

3. Conducting a competitive procurement process would not provide a material benefit given the continuity of services, fixed State program requirements, and the need to ensure uninterrupted youth employment and grant compliance.

Staff recommends the City Council approve the findings and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the recommended subgrantee agreements.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
This is a reimbursable grant program, meaning the subgrantees will pay for project related expenses in full, then submit documentation for reimbursement by the City. The City will then follow the same process, consolidating all grant related expenses per billing cycle, and submit documentation for reimbursement through the CaliforiansForAll Youth Workforce Grant.

There will be no impact to the General Fund, all related costs will be supported by the grant funding.

There is sufficient funding available. No matching funds are required for this grant.

7. Authorize the City Manager to take necessary and appropriate actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution.

Summary
The CENCAL Fire and EMS Authority (CENCAL) is a joint powers authority formed by the City of Stockton, the City of Lodi, and the South San Joaquin County Fire Authority to provide regional ambulance transport and ambulance dispatch services within San Joaquin County. CENCAL has been selected by the San Joaquin County Emergency Medical Services Agency to provide exclusive ambulance transport services within exclusive operating area (EOA) Zones X and Y and to serve as the County’s designated emergency ambulance dispatch provider.

With this selection, the Stockton Fire Department’s (SFD) Regional Emergency Communications Center (Dispatch Center) will serve as CENCAL’s subcontracted provider of countywide ambulance dispatch, significantly expanding its operational scope and complexity. Implementation of this expanded role requires additional staffing, technology, and facility capacity to manage integrated dispatch operations across the County.

Staff recommends approval of the following position allocations within the SFD General Fund Emergency Dispatch Center sub-fund: one (1) Emergency Communications Manager, five (5) Fire Telecommunicator I/II positions, one (1) Fire Telecommunicator Supervisor, and one (1) Public Safety Information Systems Analyst.

Staff recommends approval of the following General Fund position allocations: one (1) Nurse position within the SFD Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division and one (1) Program Manager I classification within the Administrative Services Department.

Staff recommends approval of the following reallocations of existing position funding to align staffing costs with revised operational responsibilities:
· Modify the funding allocation of one (1) Administrative Fire Captain position from 100 percent Emergency Communications Division (ECD) sub-fund to a 10 percent ECD sub-fund and 90 percent SFD General Fund allocation.
· Modify the funding allocation of one (1) Deputy Fire Chief position from 100 percent SFD General Fund to a 50 percent SFD General Fund and 50 percent ECD sub-fund allocation. · Modify the funding allocation of one (1) Division Chief position from a 60 percent ECD sub- fund and 40 percent SFD General Fund allocation to a 100 percent SFD General Fund allocation.
· Modify the funding allocation of one (1) Fire Department Administrative Manager position from 100 percent SFD General Fund to a 95 percent SFD General Fund and 5 percent ECD sub- fund allocation.
· Modify the funding allocation of one (1) Senior Administrative Analyst position from 100 percent SFD General Fund to a 95 percent SFD General Fund and 5 percent ECD sub-fund allocation.

Staff further recommends that the City Council affirm its intent that any excess revenues distributed to the City pursuant to the CENCAL Fire and EMS Authority Joint Powers Agreement be reinvested in Stockton Fire Department operations and not be used to supplant baseline Fire Department General Fund appropriations or support non-Fire Department functions.

DISCUSSION

BACKGROUND
The San Joaquin County Emergency Medical Services Agency (SJCEMSA) serves as the County’s designated Local Emergency Medical Services Agency (LEMSA), exercising authority delegated by the California Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA) pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Division 2.5. In this role, SJCEMSA administers the local EMS system, including designation of EOAs for ambulance transport and oversight of emergency ambulance dispatch.

In anticipation of an upcoming SJCEMSA request for proposals (RFP) for emergency ambulance transport services, the City of Stockton Fire Department (SFD), the City of Lodi Fire Department (LFD), and the South San Joaquin County Fire Authority (SSJCFA) began coordinated discussions regarding opportunities to strengthen regional EMS delivery and improve system coordination within San Joaquin County. As part of this planning effort, the agencies determined the formation of a joint powers authority (JPA) would provide a structured mechanism to pursue a regional ambulance transport and dispatch model.

On February 4, 2025, City Council Resolution No. 2025-02-04-1208 authorized the City of Stockton’s participation in CENCAL and approved a startup contribution of $1,515,700, repayable to the City by June 30, 2030.

On May 27, 2025, SJCEMSA issued RFP No. 24-32 for emergency ambulance transport services within EOA Zone X, which includes the cities of Stockton and Lodi and surrounding unincorporated areas, and EOA Zone Y, which includes the cities of Tracy and Mountain House and surrounding unincorporated areas. The RFP further specified that the contractor awarded EOA Zone X would serve as the LEMSA-designated emergency ambulance dispatch center for San Joaquin County.

On July 18, 2025, CENCAL entered into an agreement with American Medical Response (AMR) to collaborate on the submission of a proposal in response to SJCEMSA’s RFP. Under the agreement, if CENCAL were awarded one or both EOAs, AMR would serve as CENCAL’s ambulance City of Stockton Printed on 1/22/2026Page 3 of 9

subcontractor and provide emergency ambulance transport services within the awarded zone(s).

SFD coordinated with CENCAL to include SFD’s regional Dispatch Center as the proposed provider of emergency ambulance dispatch services. At the time of proposal submission, a formal agreement between SFD and CENCAL had not yet been executed; however, the parties had reached a mutual understanding regarding service levels and pricing structure.

On August 25, 2025, CENCAL, in coordination with AMR and SFD, submitted a proposal in response to the County’s RFP.

On September 25, 2025, CENCAL received a Notice of Intent to Award for the exclusive operating rights for ambulance transport services within EOA Zones X and Y and to provide countywide emergency ambulance dispatch services.

Present Situation
With CENCAL’s selection, SFD’s Dispatch Center will assume responsibility for countywide ambulance dispatch. To support this expanded role, staff have identified the need for additional personnel, technology and equipment, and facility modifications to accommodate increased call volume, operational complexity, and system integration requirements.

Emergency Communications Division Staffing
The expansion to countywide ambulance dispatch will substantially increase operational demands on the SFD’s Dispatch Center. Annual dispatch activity is projected to increase from approximately 78,000 to approximately 177,000 dispatches, significantly increasing call-taking volume, unit coordination, and real-time system oversight requirements. To support this expanded operational scope, staff has identified the need for additional operational leadership, frontline staffing, and technical support to ensure service continuity, operational readiness, and effective implementation of countywide ambulance dispatch.

Staff recommends the addition of an Emergency Communications Manager position to provide overall management of the Dispatch Center. This position would be responsible for division-level administration, strategic planning, policy development, performance measurement, and coordination with external agencies and governing bodies. As dispatch operations expand to a countywide model, this role provides centralized leadership to establish operational expectations, align resources with service demands, and ensure accountability at the program and system level.

Staff further recommends the addition of five Fire Telecommunicator I/II position allocations to address the substantial increase in call volume associated with countywide ambulance dispatch.

These positions would perform call-taking, unit dispatching, and coordination of fire, EMS, and ambulance resources. Adequate staffing levels are necessary to maintain call-processing times, manage concurrent incidents, and sustain service levels during periods of peak demand.

An additional Fire Telecommunicator Supervisor position allocation is recommended to provide day- to-day supervision of dispatch personnel. This position would be responsible for shift supervision, workload balancing, real-time decision support for dispatch staff, quality assurance reviews, and enforcement of established procedures and protocols. This role provides the on-floor supervisory City of Stockton Printed on 1/22/2026Page 4 of 9
powered by Legistar™
79 File #: 25-1435, Version: 1
presence necessary to maintain operational discipline and service consistency in a high-volume, multi-discipline dispatch environment.

Staff also recommends the addition of one Public Safety Information Systems Analyst position allocation dedicated to the Fire Department to support the technical and operational integration of dispatch systems, including radio communications, Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD), and system status management technology. While the position will be allocated to and functionally embedded within the Fire Department, it will work closely with the City’s Information Technology Department to ensure system compatibility, cybersecurity compliance, and alignment with Citywide technology standards. As dispatch operations become more complex, dedicated technical support within the Fire Department is necessary to ensure system reliability and continuity of operations.

Implementation of countywide ambulance dispatch also requires targeted realignment of existing position funding to ensure staffing costs are appropriately aligned with revised operational responsibilities. These adjustments include modifying the funding allocation of a Deputy Fire Chief position to reflect shared General Fund and ECD responsibilities, returning one Division Chief position to full General Fund support, and making minor allocation adjustments to the Fire Department Administrative Manager and Senior Administrative Analyst positions to reflect limited support provided to ECD. Additionally, SFD will modify the allocation of one existing Administrative Fire Captain position between the ECD sub-fund to the SFD General Fund which will be overfilled with a Fire Services Administrator position.

CENCAL Executive Director and Emergency Medical Services Division Nurse As part of CENCAL implementation, SFD’s current EMS Division Chief will transition to serve as Executive Director of CENCAL. In this role, the Executive Director will be responsible for the day-to- day administration of CENCAL, including oversight of contracted ambulance transport services, system performance monitoring, regulatory compliance, and implementation of CENCAL Board- adopted policies. This position is central to establishing consistent regional operations and accountability under the CENCAL governance structure.

The Executive Director position will be funded entirely by CENCAL on a reimbursement basis, with no ongoing salary or benefit cost to the City. While this transition strengthens CENCAL governance, it also results in the loss of a dedicated management position within the SFD’s EMS Division. SFD must continue to provide clinical oversight, training coordination, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance for its EMS program, separate from CENCAL’s operational responsibilities.

To maintain continuity of clinical oversight, staff proposes the establishment of a Nurse position within the SFD EMS Division. This position would provide dedicated clinical leadership, including support for EMS training, review of patient care documentation, coordination of quality improvement activities, protocol implementation, and ongoing compliance with County and State EMS requirements.

Working in conjunction with existing paramedic leadership, the position would support ongoing clinical oversight of SFD’s EMS operations following the transition of the EMS Division Chief to CENCAL.

Funding capacity created by the full reimbursement of the Executive Director position by CENCAL will be used to support the proposed EMS Nurse position.

City of Stockton Printed on 1/22/2026Page 5 of 9
powered by Legistar™
80 File #: 25-1435, Version: 1
While the City maintains an existing Quality Improvement Coordinator classification that requires a Registered Nurse license, the classification has not been utilized by SFD in several years and may not fully align with the scope, responsibilities, or market conditions associated with the proposed EMS Nurse role. Accordingly, and pending coordination with Human Resources to evaluate classification applicability and compensation alignment, the EMS Nurse position is budgeted at the Budget Officer level for planning purposes. To avoid pre-operational staffing costs, hiring for the EMS Nurse position is anticipated to occur in FY 2026-27.

Administrative Services Department Program Manager I
CENCAL implementation will increase workload within the Administrative Services Department, particularly in accounting and administrative functions associated with use of the City’s enterprise resource planning system. While the precise scope of this workload will evolve as CENCAL operations mature, these functions will require additional administrative capacity beyond existing baseline responsibilities.

To address this need, staff recommends approval of a budget allocation equivalent to the fully burdened salary and benefit cost of a Program Manager I classification in the Administrative Services Department General Fund beginning in FY 2026-27. This allocation establishes the level of administrative support that CENCAL will fund annually as part of its operating costs and defines the maximum reimbursement amount payable to the City for administrative services.

Approval of this allocation does not require the City to fill a specific position or assign a particular employee to CENCAL-related work. The Administrative Services Department will retain discretion to determine how best to address the workload, whether through hiring, reassignment of duties, or absorption within existing resources, consistent with operational needs.

CENCAL will reimburse the City for administrative support costs incurred, up to the fully burdened salary and benefit cost of a Program Manager I classification. If the workload is absorbed within existing resources, the reimbursement will result in a net positive fiscal effect to the General Fund. In all cases, approval of this allocation results in no negative impact to the General Fund.

For purposes of fiscal transparency, the Financial Impact section of this report assumes the City hires an additional employee at the Program Manager I level, representing the most conservative scenario.

Actual fiscal outcomes will vary depending on how the Administrative Services Department ultimately deploys resources.

Technology Improvements
Implementation of countywide ambulance dispatch requires technology that supports coordinated resource deployment, real-time situational awareness, and systemwide performance management.

To meet these requirements, a dedicated system status management (SSM) platform is necessary to support dynamic ambulance deployment across the County. The SSM platform analyzes historical call demand alongside real-time operational conditions to inform where ambulance resources should be positioned throughout the day. This enables dispatch staff to actively manage coverage, anticipate demand, and adjust deployment as conditions change, rather than relying on static post assignments. The result is more consistent system coverage and more effective use of available ambulance unit hours.

City of Stockton Printed on 1/22/2026Page 6 of 9
powered by Legistar™
81 File #: 25-1435, Version: 1
To function effectively, the SSM platform must be integrated with the CAD system. This integration is accomplished through a CAD-to-SSM interface that enables real-time exchange of unit status, availability, assignments, and location data between systems. Without this interface, deployment recommendations would rely on delayed or manually interpreted information, limiting operational effectiveness and increasing dispatcher workload. The integrated platform provides dispatch staff with a single, current operational picture and ensures that deployment decisions are based on live system conditions.

Countywide ambulance dispatch also requires expansion of the Dispatch Center’s radio infrastructure. Installation of additional radio base stations is necessary to bring contracted ambulance provider radio traffic into the Dispatch Center and support direct dispatch and coordination of ambulance resources.

Use of Excess Revenues and Council Intent
The CENCAL Joint Powers Agreement provides that any excess revenues may be distributed to the member agencies in accordance with their respective pro-rata share. While the Agreement establishes the mechanics for distribution, it does not prescribe the specific internal use of such revenues by a member agency once received.

Staff wishes to clarify the intended purpose of any excess revenues distributed to the City of Stockton as a result of CENCAL operations. The intent of these distributions is to enhance and reinvest in Stockton Fire Department operations, particularly those operational, staffing, and infrastructure demands that are attributable to regional EMS delivery, emergency communications, and systemwide coordination responsibilities assumed by the Fire Department. Excess revenues are not intended to be used to supplant existing and/or baseline Fire Department General Fund appropriations, nor to be diverted to support other City departments.

Staff recommends Council formally recognize this intent and affirm the City’s commitment to ensuring that the benefits generated through CENCAL are reinvested in the Fire Department. This approach ensures that the financial benefits generated through regional collaboration are reinvested in emergency response services that directly serve Stockton residents, strengthening capacity, improving service reliability, and supporting the long-term sustainability of fire, EMS, and emergency communications operations for the community.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The financial impact associated with implementation of countywide ambulance dispatch includes one -time pre-operational costs in FY 2025-26 and ongoing operating impacts beginning in FY 2026-27.

In FY 2025-26, the Fire Department requires a$1.11 million interfund loan from the Worker’ Compensation Internal Service Fund Reserves to cover staffing, and technology costs. Staff are working with CENCAL Fire and EMS Authority to execute a minimum required distribution agreement that will fully repay the interfund loan, at 4.35 percent annual compound interest, by June 30, 2030.

The City allocates funds from the General Fund to cover its share of the cost of emergency dispatch services provided by the Dispatch Center. Beginning in FY 2026-27, the total General Fund share of ECD operations is projected to decrease by approximately $1.396 million, a reduction that is anticipated to continue in future fiscal years.

FY 2025-26 Pre-Operational Phase
In FY 2025-26, pre-operational costs must be incurred in advance to recruit, hire, train, and equip personnel and to complete required system modifications prior to the commencement of expanded dispatch services.

Staffing costs total $775,000 and technology costs total $337,000, for a combined amount of $1.11 million. These expenditures will be funded through an interfund loan from the Workers’ Compensation Fund Reserve.

Category Amount
Staffing costs (new positions) $775,000
Technology costs $337,000
Pre-operational costs $1,112,000
FY 2026-27 and Ongoing Operating Impact
ECD’s annual operating costs are currently funded through fees from contracted emergency dispatch services provided to outside agencies and an annual funding allocation from the General Fund. In FY 2025-26, the General fund has a funding allocation of $3.8 million to fully cover ECD costs.

Beginning in FY 2026-27, the ECD General Fund allocation is projected to decrease to approximately $2.3 million. After accounting for additional General Fund expenses and offsetting revenues resulting from expanded dispatch operations, the total General Fund support is projected to decline by approximately $1.396 million. This projected reduction provides SFD with increased General Fund capacity that may be redirected to other identified departmental needs, within the SFD.

Acting in its capacity as the LEMSA, SJCEMSA is authorized to designate Exclusive Operating Areas (“EOAs”) for the provision of ambulance transport services and to designate emergency ambulance dispatch providers; and

The City of Stockton is a member agency of the CENCAL Fire and EMS Authority (“CENCAL”), a joint powers authority formed pursuant to sections 6500 et seq. of the California Government Code to provide regional ambulance transport and emergency ambulance dispatch services within San Joaquin County; and

CENCAL has been selected by SJCEMSA to provide exclusive ambulance transport services within EOA Zones X and Y and to serve as the County’s designated emergency ambulance dispatch provider; and

As part of this regional service delivery model, the Stockton Fire Department’s Regional Emergency Communications Center will serve as CENCAL’s subcontracted provider of countywide emergency ambulance dispatch services, resulting in a substantial expansion of dispatch operations, call volume, and operational complexity; and

Implementation of countywide ambulance dispatch requires additional staffing, technology, as well as realignment of existing position funding; and The CENCAL Joint Powers Agreement provides that exce ss revenues may be distributed to the member agencies in accordance with their respective pro -rata share, but does not prescribe how such revenues are to be used by a member agency once distributed; and
The City Council desires to formally recognize that a ny excess revenues distributed to the City of Stockton as a result of CENCAL operations are intended to support and enhance Stockton Fire Department operations and capacity and are not intended to supplant existing baseline Fire Department General Fund app ropriations or be redirected to support non-Fire Department functions; and 85 Pursuant to Section 400 of the City of Stockton Charter, the City Council is the governing body of the City and all powers of the City, including the authority to establish fiscal policy and determine the use and restriction of City revenues, are vested in the City Council; now, therefore,

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

1. The City Council approves eight (8) position allocations within the Fire Department General Fund Emergency Dispatch Center sub -fund to support countywide ambulance dispatch operations, consisting of one (1) Emergency Communications Manager position, five (5) Fire Telecommunicator I/II positions, one (1) Fire Telecommunicator Supervisor position, and one (1) Public Safety Information Systems Analyst position.

2. The City Council approves an allocation within the Fire Department General Fund for one (1) Nurse position within the Fire Department Emergency Medical Services Division to maintain clinical oversight and regulatory compliance following implementation of countywide ambulance dispatch operations.

3. The City Council approves an allocation within the Administrative Services Department General Fund equivalent to the fully burdened salary and benefit cost of one (1) Program Manager I classification to address additional administrative workload associated with CENCAL operations, with such costs to be reimbursed by CENCAL in accordance with approved agreements.

4. The City Council approves necessary reallocations of existing Fire Department position funding between the Fire Department General Fund and the Emergency Communications Division sub -fund to ensure accurate alignment of staffing costs with revised operational responsibilities as follows:
 Modify the funding allocation of one (1) Administrative Fire Captain position from 100 percent Emergency Communications Division (ECD) sub -fund to a 10 percent ECD sub-fund and 90 percent SFD General Fund allocation.  Modify the funding allocation of one (1) Deputy Fire Chief position from 100 percent SFD General Fund to a 50 percent SFD General Fund and 50 percent ECD sub-fund allocation.

 Modify the funding allocation of one (1) Senior Administrative Analyst position from 100 percent SFD General Fund to a 95 percent SFD General Fund and 5 percent ECD sub-fund allocation.
86 5. The City Council approves an interfund loan o f $1,112,000 from the City Workers’ Compensation Internal Service Fund (530) Reserve balance to the Fire Department General Fund (100) & Emergency Communications Division General Fund sub-fund (100-130), pursuant to City Council interfund loan policy 17.01-020, to fund pre- operational staffing and additional technology costs associated with countywide ambulance dispatch. The interfund loan will be transferred upon execution of a minimum required distribution agreement with CENCAL Fire and EMS Authority, wi th $153,000 transferred to the Fire Department General Fund (100) and $959,000 to the Emergency Communications Division General Fund sub -fund (100-130). The interfund loan will be fully repaid with annual compound interest of 4.35 percent no later than Jun e 30, 2030, by the Emergency Communications Division General Fund sub-fund (100-130).

6. The City Council hereby determines and declares that any excess revenues distributed to the City pursuant to the CENCAL Fire and EMS Authority Joint Powers Agreement shall constitute restricted funds and shall be used exclusively to enhance Fire Department operations, including operational, staffing, and infrastructure needs associated with regional emergency service delivery.

7. The City Council hereby determines and dec lares that such excess revenues shall not be used to supplant necessary baseline Fire Department General Fund appropriations, including the City’s responsibility to fund normal and reasonable growth necessary to provide Fire Department services to the comm unity. Such excess revenues shall not be transferred, reprogrammed, or otherwise used to support other City departments or purposes.

8. The City Manager is authorized to take necessary and appropriate actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this Resolution.

ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE STOCKTON MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADD TITLE 8, CHAPTER TO 8.38 TO REGULATE SECURED STORAGE OF PALLETS BY COMMERCIAL

ESTABLISHMENTS

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

1. Adopt an ordinance adding Title 8 Chapter 38 to the Stockton Municipal Code requiring secured storage of pallets on commercial properties with an effective date of 120 days after adoption; and

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 ordinance addresses public safety concerns related to the storage of unsecured pallets on commercial properties. It requires businesses to store pallets in secure areas to prevent fire hazards and visual blight. The ordinance includes definitions, storage requirements, exceptions, enforcement mechanisms, and penalties. Adoption will enhance community safety and compliance with fire prevention standards.

DISCUSSION
Background
Unsecured pallet storage has long been a concern for fire safety and community aesthetics. Pallets, often made of combustible materials such as wood or plastic, can significantly increase fire load and accelerate fire spread. The City has authority under Government Code sections 38771-38773.5 to regulate nuisances and hazards In early 2025, the Legislative and Environmental Committee deliberated on measures to regulate loose pallets stored behind commercial establishments. The committee intended to examine an ordinance aimed at regulating these pallets and enhancing public safety. The Fire Department worked with Code Enforcement to draft an ordinance, which was then submitted to the Legislative/Environmental Committee. The Legislative/Environmental Committee approved the ordinance for City Council to consider for final approval and implementation.

Present Situation
The proposed ordinance introduces comprehensive requirements for pallet storage on commercial and industrial properties. An outline of those provisions is provided below:

ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A CARRY-FORWARD APPROPRIATION OF $1.0 MILLION FROM FY 2024-25 FIRE DEPARTMENT YEAR-END SAVINGS FOR USE IN FY 2025-26.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council adopt a Resolution authorizing a carry-forward appropriation of $1.0 million from FY 2024-25 Fire Department year-end savings for use in FY 2025-26.

Summary
The FY 2024-25 Fire Department budget projects approximately $2.6 million in salary savings. Of this amount, $600,000 was authorized by the City Council to support enhanced paramedic compensation.

Staff is now requesting authorization to carry forward $1.0 million of the remaining year-end savings into FY 2025-26 to support additional Fire Department needs.

DISCUSSION
Background
On December 16, 2025, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2025-12-16-1211, authorizing a $600,000 carry-forward appropriation of Fire Department FY 2024-25 salary savings to fund enhanced paramedic compensation as part of a targeted recruitment and retention strategy.

The Fire Department has identified additional needs that cannot be accommodated within the FY 2025-26 adopted budget and is requesting authorization to carry forward an additional $1.0 million of remaining FY 2024-25 year-end savings for use in FY 2025-26.

Present Situation
The Fire Department completed a comprehensive review of its operating budget and identified several needs not funded in the FY 2025-26 adopted budget.

Staff have identified an opportunity to improve employee injury recovery and return-to-work outcomes through the use of a third-party program focused on early intervention and active case management.

These services include prompt access to medical evaluation, coordinated care management, and structured return-to-work planning. Earlier medical engagement and active case management are intended to reduce the duration of lost-time claims, limit overtime backfill costs, and mitigate longer- term workers’ compensation exposure, while supporting employees' safe and efficient return to work and improving employee morale.

Staff also identified a need to enhance wildfire response in and around Stockton by augmenting our City of Stockton Printed on 1/22/2026Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™
94 File #: 26-0084, Version: 1
current Type 1 fire engine fleet with one (1) Type 3 wildland fire engine. Type 3 engines are specifically designed for wildland and wildland-urban interface incidents and are equipped with four- wheel drive, higher ground clearance, and a pump-and-tank configuration suitable for off-road and remote operations. This apparatus would be cross-staffed with a Type 1 engine at one of the thirteen (13) fire stations, requiring no additional staffing. In addition, this type of apparatus is routinely requested for statewide mutual aid and Cal OES deployments because it can access terrain and fire conditions that larger structural engines cannot. When deployed on qualifying Cal OES assignments, the City receives reimbursement at an established daily apparatus rental rate, plus an administrative fee, enabling cost recovery during deployments.

The review also identified ongoing recruitment, retention, and leadership development needs that the adopted budget does not fully address. These needs include strengthening supervisory capacity and improving succession planning to support long-term workforce stability. As part of the same review, staff confirmed compensation compaction between the Division Chief and Deputy Chief classifications, where salary compression over time has reduced differentiation in responsibility, complexity, and accountability. Addressing this compaction is intended to support executive retention and maintain appropriate internal alignment within the Department’s leadership structure.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
Approval of this action will increase the FY 2025-26 Fire Department budget by $1.0 million through a carry-forward appropriation of FY 2024-25 year-end savings. These funds were previously budgeted but not expended in FY 2024-25. As a result, while the FY 2025-26 budget increases by $1.0 million, total expenditures across FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26 are expected to remain consistent with the aggregate budget levels previously approved by the City Council.

The Department will make its best effort to apply these funds in a manner consistent with the purposes described in this report. However, to the extent specific items or initiatives cannot be executed due to availability, timing, or other implementation constraints, any remaining funds are to be considered as supportive of the department’s general operations, and may be utilized by the Fire Chief, with approval from the City Manager, in accordance with standard City policies.

This action approves an appropriation only and does not authorize any specific purchase or contract.

Any related procurements will be conducted in accordance with the City’s established procurement rules and procedures.

APPROVE RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH A NEW SPECIFICATION OF SENIOR GRAFFITI

ABATEMENT TECHNICIAN AND APPROVE THE PROPOSED SALARY RANGE

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution establishing a new classified/represented position of Senior Graffiti Abatement Technician for the Stockton Police Department and assign the salary range.

Summary
City Council is being asked to establish the proposed new Senior Graffiti Abatement Technician classification and salary range. Establishing a new Senior Graffiti Abatement Technician position will provide the lead support and expertise necessary in the efficient execution and operation of the graffiti abatement program. The Stockton Police Department plans to fill and fund the proposed position during Fiscal Year 2025-26 by reclassifying an allocated Graffiti Abatement Technician position.

DISCUSSION
Background
The Stockton Police Department requested Human Resources create a new Senior Graffiti Abatement Technician classification. Based on the department’s initial request, HR staff reviewed the current Graffiti Abatement Technician classification and determined that the best course of action would be to amend the current classification and add a senior-level Technician to create a class series (Attachment A). An external market study was conducted to identify an appropriate salary plan, and an equity analysis was performed to assess potential compaction.

Present Situation
In the past year alone, the graffiti abatement team has removed nearly 450,000 square feet of graffiti, a testament to their dedication and the program’s effectiveness. The increased efficiency and effectiveness resulting from these enhanced responsibilities have created a need for a senior level classification that accurately reflects the advanced skill set, leadership, and experience required for this role.

The most senior Graffiti Abatement Technician is currently receiving special assignment pay for performing a range of duties that go beyond the standard scope of work represented in the current Graffiti Abatement Technician classification specification. These duties include oversight of the graffiti abatement crew, coordination of the daily operations, scheduling, assigning tasks, ensuring adequate City of Stockton Printed on 1/22/2026Page 1 of 2

97 File #: 26-0038, Version: 1
coverage, and addressing any operational issues that may arise.

The Senior Graffiti Abatement Technician job classification is necessary to perform these duties along with training new employees in best practices and safety procedures, ensuring the crew is well- equipped to perform their duties effectively and safely.

Classification
The proposed Graffiti Abatement Technician/Senior Graffiti Abatement Technician classification will be amended to include a senior-level Technician. This classification series will continue to reside within the Neighborhood Services Section of the Stockton Police Department and remain included in the Civil Service system, non-exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act, and represented by the Operating Engineers Local Union No. 3 - Trades & Maintenance bargaining unit.

Salary
Human Resources staff completed an external market survey as well as an internal equity analysis.

Based on analysis of the information collected, staff recommend the following salary range:

APPROVE RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH NEW CLASSIFICATION SPECIFICATIONS OF

EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER AND FIRE SERVICES ADMINISTRATOR FOR

THE STOCKTON FIRE DEPARTMENT AND APPROVE THE PROPOSED SALARY RANGES

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution establishing new classified classification specifications of Emergency Communications Manager and Fire Services Administrator for the Stockton Fire Department and approve the proposed salary ranges.

Summary
The City Council is being asked to establish the proposed new single-incumbent civilian classifications entitled Emergency Communications Manager and Fire Services Administrator and the proposed salary ranges.

DISCUSSION
Background
The Stockton Fire Department requested two new civilian classifications be created as a necessary step towards the reorganization of the Department’s management structure. Currently, there is a wide range of administrative and technical responsibilities assigned to sworn command staff. As emergency service delivery expands, the proposed civilian classifications will serve as integral administrative and technical leadership that will relieve the sworn command staff and allow them to appropriately focus on operational command, emergency readiness, personnel leadership, and core responsibilities essential to public safety. This structure creates a clear and sustainable management framework for the Fire Department to meet regional public safety demands.

Classifications:

The proposed Emergency Communications Manager classification (Attachment A) is a single, non- sworn management position that will reside within the Fire Department’s Emergency Communications Division. The Emergency Communications Manager will plan, organize, and direct the programs and operations of the regional 24-hour Fire and EMS emergency communications center serving multiple jurisdictions, including the design, deployment, and maintenance of all communication equipment and systems. If approved, this classification will be included in the Civil Service system and placed in the Mid-Management Level bargaining unit. In addition, this classification will be exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

The proposed Fire Services Administrator classification (Attachment B) is a single, non-sworn bureau -management position with oversight of the Stockton Fire Department’s Administrative Bureau. The City of Stockton Printed on 1/22/2026Page 1 of 2

Fire Services Administrator will be responsible for the Fire Department’s budget, finance, developing goals and objectives, administering the annual budget, grants, and managing the day-to-day operations and administrative staff within the Administrative Bureau. This is the highest civilian level classification within the Fire Department, providing direct assistance to the Fire Chief in the oversight and maintenance of budget controls. If approved, this classification will be included in the Civil Service system and will be Unrepresented - Middle Management. In addition, this classification will be exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 5 WITH KEMIRA

WATER SOLUTIONS FOR THE PURCHASE OF FERRIC AND FERROUS CHLORIDE FOR

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution to authorize Contract Amendment No. 5 with Kemira Water Solutions, Inc., of Lawrence, Kansas, for the purchase of ferric chloride and ferrous chloride for wastewater treatment in the amount of $910,000 for a total contract not-to-exceed amount of $6,369,391.

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) includes 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 system collects sewage from properties within the City, special districts outside the City, and certain areas within San Joaquin County. 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 Modifications Project replaced the trickling filter system with an activated sludge process, which is more efficient but generates more biological sludge. Elevated sludge levels result in more hydrogen sulfide gas production in the anaerobic digesters. Ferric chloride is added to lower the hydrogen sulfide gas production.

If approved, Contract Amendment No. 5 (Exhibit 1 to the Resolution) to the existing contract with Kemira Water Solutions, Inc. will add $910,000 to purchase additional ferric chloride for a total contract not-to-exceed amount of $6,369,391.

DISCUSSION
Background
Wastewater treatment requires the use of various chemicals to reduce hazardous conditions and remove specific impurities. The RWCF Modifications Project replaced the secondary wastewater treatment system from a trickling filter process to an activated sludge process. Activated sludge City of Stockton Printed on 1/22/2026Page 1 of 3

File #: 25-1423, Version: 1
treatment process uses aeration tanks and microorganisms to break down organic matter. This method is efficient but produces more biological sludge than a trickling filter system. Extra sludge generated must be processed in anaerobic digesters, where microorganisms break it down without oxygen. During digestion, a gas mixture is produced-commonly called digester gas-which can contain hydrogen sulfide. To protect sewer treatment infrastructure and plant personnel, treatment plants add ferric chloride, which reduces hydrogen sulfide gas formation.

The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) regulates hydrogen sulfide in the digester gas. To meet regulatory requirements, it is necessary to purchase additional ferric chloride to control hydrogen sulfide gas production.

On March 22, 2022, by Resolution 2022-03-22-1213, the City Council authorized a $3,330,620 contract with Kemira Water Solutions, Inc. (Kemira) to purchase ferric chloride and ferrous chloride.

The contract expires on December 31, 2026.

The following is a summary of amendments to the original contract agreement:
· In October 2022, Amendment No. 1 increased compensation by $125,000 to fund an increase in the cost of chemicals. The revised contract amount totaled $3,455,620. · In March 2023, Amendment No. 2 advanced $500,000 from future funding to fiscal year 2022- 2023. The total contract amount remained unchanged at $3,455,620. · On September 26, 2023, by Resolution 2023-09-26-1203, the City Council approved Amendment No. 3 accepting a chemical cost adjustment lowering the unit price for both ferric chloride and ferrous chloride. It also increased the contract cost by $2,003,771, bringing the total to $5,459,391, due to the additional chemicals needed for the activated sludge treatment process.
· In January 2025, Amendment No. 4 accepted chemical price increases. The total contract amount remained at $5,459,391. The price changes are summarized below:

Fiscal Year Amendment # Date Added Amount Total Contract 2021-2022 1 October 2022 $125,000.00 $3,455,620.00
2022-2023 2 March 2023 $0.00 $3,455,620.00
2023-2024 3 September 2023 $2,003,771.00 $5,459,391.00
2024-2025 4 January 2025 $0.00 $5,459,391.00
Present Situation
Staff reviewed the contract and determined that additional funds are needed to purchase chemicals through June 30, 2026. Ferric chloride will be procured through the formal Bay Area Chemical Consortium bid process. Staff will request City Council approval for a new contract starting July 1, 2026.

ADOPTION OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 3.02 OF THE COUNCIL POLICY

MANUAL - CITY COUNCIL AND MAYORAL APPOINTMENTS TO COMMITTEES, BOARDS, AND

COMMISSIONS

RECOMMENDATION
This item was agendized by the Mayor pursuant to Council Policy Section 4.02.010.

Summary
Pursuant to Council Policy Section 4.02.010, on January 8, 2026, the Mayor requested an item be agendized with a recommendation for Council to adopt changes to Chapter 3.02 of the Council Policy Manual.

DISCUSSION
Background
Currently, Chapter 3.02 of the Council Policy Manual requires applicants for Committees, Boards, and Commissions to be interviewed by the Clerk’s Office and ranked by the appointing authority.

Present Situation
Chapter 3.02 was revised to remove the requirement for applicants to attend videotaped interviews and ranked voting. These changes are reflected in the redline attachment (Attachment A - Council Policy Chapter 3.02 - Redline) for Council’s consideration.

The previously established interview questions will instead be added to the written application.

Council will still retain the ability to request applicants attend the Council meeting at which they may ask the applicants questions in person.

Should there be more than one applicant for a vacancy, with the removal of ranked voting, the Councilmembers, including the Mayor, may nominate a candidate for approval. If there is more than one seat and they have different term lengths, the nomination should also include to which seat they would serve on.

These changes are presented for Council’s consideration and potential approval and adoption.

CITY COUNCIL AND MAYORAL APPOINTMENTS TO COMMITTEES,

BOARDS, AND COMMISSIONS
§ 3.02.010
§ 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 (Section 54970 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 Attachment A

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:

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.

ADOPT RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE OF AN INDUSTRIAL WASTE

COLLECTOR PERMIT

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

1. Authorize the issuance of an industrial waste collector permit to GreenWaste of Central Valley, LLC; and

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
GreenWaste of Central Valley, LLC (GreenWaste) has applied for an Industrial Waste Collector permit. The City’s current permit holders are Sunrise Sanitation, Inc. (Republic Services), USA Waste of California, Inc. (WM), and California Waste Recovery Systems, LLC (Cal-Waste). The current industrial waste collector permits expire on December 31, 2029. Staff reviewed the application submitted by GreenWaste and found that the applicant has complied with all Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) requirements to perform industrial waste collection service in the City.

DISCUSSION
Background
In 1981, the City separated its commercial and industrial waste collections from residential collections by establishing a non-exclusive, open-market, competitive permit system. This system continued until 2004, when the City consolidated residential and commercial collections into exclusive franchises and amended the SMC to require franchisees and industrial waste permittees to divert 50 percent of collected waste from landfills, in accordance with State Assembly Bill (AB) 939 regulations.

Industrial waste collector permits have been issued and extended, with the most recent issuance occurring in 2024, following Council approval. The permit process includes a $100,000 permit fee and compliance with State regulations, including, but not limited to:

City of Stockton Printed on 1/22/2026Page 1 of 2

144
File #: 25-1434, Version: 1
· AB 939 California’s Recycling Mandate
· Senate Bill (SB) 1383 California’s Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Law · California Green Building Standards Code, Part 11, Title 24, California Code of Regulations (CALGreen)
CALGreen requires local construction permits to divert at least 65 percent of construction and demolition debris material from landfills.

Present Situation
The City currently has three permitted industrial waste collectors operating inside the City limits.

GreenWaste has submitted its application, and if approved, will become the fourth permitted industrial waste collector in the City. The SMC requires the following before new permits can be issued:
· That the City Council approve the permit through a majority vote; · That permittee pays a fee of $100,000 for the issuance of an industrial waste collector permit; and,
· That permittee provides adequate insurance coverage as required by the City to perform industrial waste collection services.

The City may choose to renew the permit for up to two additional five-year terms. Staff has reviewed the application and confirmed that all SMC requirements have been met.

If approved, the industrial waste collector permit fee, totaling $100,000, will be used to administer and support a variety of activities that ensure safe, compliant, and efficient waste collection service.

These revenues help offset the costs of program administration, compliance monitoring, field inspections, enforcement activities, environmental program requirements, and maintenance activities, such as vegetation and tree clearance, to ensure safe collection access.

If the permit is approved, the permittee will also pay the City 18.5 percent of monthly gross receipts, and a five percent AB 939 fee based on the same monthly gross receipts.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The $100,000 permit fee will be applied to the Solid Waste and Recycling account number: 4560- 000-470007-255-000-30-45-000-000
The monthly 18.5 percent permit fee will be applied to the following General Fund account: 0000-000 -414038-100-000-00-00-000-000
The monthly five percent AB 939 fee will be applied to the following Solid Waste and Recycling account: 0000-000-414038-255-000-00-00-000-000
There is no additional impact to the City’s General Fund or any other unrestricted fund as a result of taking the recommended actions.

waste materials within the CITY in each calendar year.

(8) Collection of Non-Industrial Waste. If CONTRACTOR collects non- industrial waste:

(i) Except as provided by subsection (iv) below,
CONTRACTOR's collection of non- industrial waste as herein provided is a material breach of this Agreement. If CONTRACTOR collects non-industrial waste, in addition to any other remedies the CITY may have, including but not limited to terminating this Agreement, CITY shall impose liquidated damages as provided by subsection 23(d), beginning with the first full or partial day that non- industrial waste was collected and continuing, daily, until the collection of non-industrial waste ceases and CONTRACTOR's equipment is removed from the business.

(ii) In addition to paying liquidated damages, CONTRACTOR shall remove all of CONTRACTOR's equipment and discontinue collection service within two (2) business days after receiving written notice from the Public Works Director or designee ("Director'') of the collection of non- industrial waste, except as provided in subsection (iii), below.

(iii) Upon request of CONTRACTOR for a determination
whether a particular business is classified "industrial," as guided by or defined herein or by Stockton Municipal Code 8.04.290 as amended, the Public Works Director or designee ("Director') shall, within ten (10) business days after receipt of the request, advise CONTRACTOR in writing of the Director's determination. In making the determination, the Public Works Director or designee shall ascertain whether the City business license classification of the business is "industrial" or "non-industrial" in accordance with section

5.08.050 (Manufacturing, Packing, and Processing) of the Stockton Municipal Code. The Public Works Director or designee shall designate the business "industrial" or "non- industrial" based upon the definitions set forth in Stockton SMC 5.08. 050 as amended, and with reference, as necessary, to the business license classification.

The Public
Works Director or designee shall notify all affected parties of the "industrial" or "non-industrial" designation, including exclusive franchisees and non-exclusive commercial and industrial collectors.

The Public Works Director or designee 's appeal decision shall be final.

(iv) Notwithstanding subsections (i), (ii) and (iii), above, if CITY subsequently determines that its original determination that classified a business as industrial was erroneous, then CITY shall notify CONTRACTOR that the business is not industrial and CONTRACTOR shall, within three (3) business days after receipt of said notice ("Grace Period") remove CONTRACTOR's equipment and discontinue the EXHIBIT 1
162

Page 17 of 22 ends

collection service. If the CONTRACTOR removes CONTRACTOR's equipment and discontinues the collection service at the business within the Grace Period, no liquidated damages shall be assessed against CONTRACTOR and the CONTRACTOR shall not be in default under the Agreement. However, if the CONTRACTOR has not removed CONTRACTOR's equipment and discontinued the collection service at the business within the Grace Period, liquidated damages shall be assessed against the CONTRACTOR by the CITY pursuant to section 23(d), below.

In the case of a breach related to the above sections, except section 23(c)(8), above, and the breach continues for more than thirty (30) calendar days after written notice from the City Manager for the correction thereof, provided that where such breach is subject to cure but cannot be fully cured within such thirty (30) day period, the CONTRACTOR shall not be in default of this Agreement if CONTRACTOR shall have commenced such action required to cure the particular breach within ten (10) cale ndar days after such notice, and it continues such performance diligently until completed.

d. Liquidated Damages. The Parties recognize that if CONTRACTOR fails to perform its obligations, the City and residents of City will suffer damages that are and will be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain and determine. The parties agree that the liquidated damages as provided hereafter represent a reasonable estimate of the amount of such damages for breach(es) of the provisions of this Agreement, without prejudice to City's right to treat uncorrected non-performance as an Event of Default and subject to termination. Liquidated Damages are paid as damages and not as a penalty.

Notwithstanding any other remedy provided for by this Agreement, CONTRACTOR agrees to pay liquidated damages for each day CONTRACTOR is in breach or violation of any term or provision of this Agreement.

Liquidated damages
shall be in addition to the obligation of the CONTRACTOR to cure the default or violation as required by section 23 of this Agreement. The number of liquidated damages for each breach or violation shall be one hundred dollars ($100) for the first day of each breach, two hundred and fifty dollars ($250) for the second day of each breach and five hundred dollars ($500) for the third day and for each day thereafter until each breach or violation is cured. These liquidated damages shall be in addition to any other action, including but not limited to termination of the Agreement, that the City may elect to take against the CONTRACTOR for a breach or violation of the Agreement.

Except with respect to violations of section 23(c)(8), above, prior to assessing liquidated damages, and in addition to any other available remedies City may impose, City shall provide written notice to CONTRACTOR of its intention to do so. The notice shall include a brief description of the incident or nonperformance. CONTRACTOR may review (and copy at its own expense) all information in the possession of City relating to the assessment of liquidated damages. THE CONTRACTOR may, within ten (10) working days after rec eiving the notice, request a meeting with the appropriate City representative. CONTRACTOR may present evidence in writing and through testimony of its employees and others relevant to the incident or nonperformance. The City EXHIBIT 1
163

Page 18 of 22 ends

representative shall provide CONTRACTOR with a brief written explanation of his or her determination regarding each breach prior to authorizing the assessment of liquidated damages. The decision of the City representative shall be final. The assessment of liquidated damages issued by the City shall be made in writing and the CONTRACTOR shall, at its own expense, remit to the City the damages specified in said assessment within fifteen (15) days thereafter.

With respect to violations of section 23(c)(8) above, liquidated damages may be assessed by the City upon expiration of the applicable cure period. e. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts of God, acts of civil or military authority, terrorism, fire, flood, strikes, war, epidemics, pandemics, shortage of power or other acts or causes reasonably beyond the control of that party. The party experiencing the force majeure event agrees to give the other party notice promptly following the occurrence of a force majeure event, and to use diligent efforts to re- commence performance as promptly as commercially practicable.

APPROVE MOTION TO AWARD A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT FOR THE MAIN STREET AND MARKET STREET COMPLETE STREETS PHASE 1 PROJECT

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a motion 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 also recommended that the City Manager be authorized to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this motion.

Summary
Main Street and Market Street act as primary corridors that connect communities east of Highway 99 with Downtown Stockton (Attachment A). On April 15, 2025, by Resolution No. 2025-04-15-1603, Council approved an Initial Study/Negative Declaration and Precise Road Plan (PRP) for the Main Street and Market Street Complete Streets project located between Center Street and the State Route 99 overpass. The Main Street and Market Street Complete Streets project has been broken into two phases. Phase 1 includes Main Street and Market Street from California Street to Sierra Nevada Street, while Phase 2 extends along Main Street from Sierra Nevada Street to Sullivan Avenue.

The City secured approximately $9.942 million from federal, State, and local funding sources to design and construct the Main Street and Market Street Complete Streets Phase 1 project. The project was included in the 2025-30 Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).

On September 15, 2025, the City advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for design of the Main Street and Market Street Complete Streets Phase 1, Project No. WT25043/State Project No. ATPL- 5008(212). On October 15, 2025, three firms submitted a proposal for this project. The Selection Committee evaluated the proposals and found Siegfried Engineering, Inc. of Stockton, CA, to be the most qualified firm to perform the scope of work for design services on this project.

It is recommended that Council approve a motion authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Contract, in the amount of $920,000, with Siegfried Engineering, Inc. for design services. It is anticipated that the design will be completed by December 2026.

DISCUSSION
Background
Main Street and Market Street act as primary corridors that connect communities east of Highway 99 with Downtown Stockton (Attachment A). On April 15, 2025, by Resolution No. 2025-04-15-1603, Council approved an Initial Study/Negative Declaration and PRP for the Main Street and Market Street Complete Streets project located between Center Street and the State Route 99 overpass.

The environmental document and PRP effort were funded by Measure K and local funds. The PRP will serve as the guiding framework for the design and implementation of the Main Street and Market Street Complete Streets projects that have been broken into two phases. Phase 1 includes Main Street and Market Street from California Street to Sierra Nevada Street. Phase 2 extends along Main Street from Sierra Nevada Street to Sullivan Avenue.

The PRP calls for a reduction in the number of vehicle travel lanes from two lanes to one lane in each direction with buffered bicycle lanes, signal and lighting improvements, pedestrian and bicycle amenities, and accessible street crossings. Access will also be improved to community locations such as the Fair Oaks Library, the United States Postal Service office, Stribley Park Community Center, as well as employment and/or retail centers along the corridor.

Public Works’ staff submitted applications for funding to the Cycle 6 Active Transportation Program (ATP) for the Main Street and Market Street Complete Streets Phase 1 project. The ATP encourages increased use of active modes of transportation, such as bicycling and walking. There are two separate Statewide and Regional competitive calls for project funding applications. Statewide competitive funds are administered by Caltrans, and the San Joaquin Council of Governments administers the Regional competitive funds. The City was successful in receiving competitive State and federal ATP funding in the amounts of $6.083 million and $2.143 million, respectively. Including a required local match of $1.716 million, total funding for the project totals approximately $9.942 million. The California Transportation Commission recently appropriated $1.333 million in State funds at their June 2025 meeting for the City to use in design. The project was included in the 2025- 30 Five-Year CIP.

In fall 2024, the City was awarded Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) funding to help fund the design and construction of Phase 2. The design of Phase 2 cannot commence until SS4A funding is confirmed, programmed, and funding agreements are executed. It is possible that design of Phase 2 could start by late 2027.

Present Situation
On September 15, 2025, the City advertised an RFP for design of the Main Street and Market Street Complete Streets Phase 1, Project No. WT25043/State Project No. ATPL-5008(212). On October 15, 2025, three proposals were received from the following firms:
· Siegfried Engineering, Inc. (Stockton, CA)
· R.E.Y. Engineers, Inc. (Folsom, CA)
· Sandis (Oakland, CA)

File #: 25-1398, Version: 1
The Selection Committee evaluated and ranked all proposals based on each firm’s understanding of work, experience with similar kinds of work, qualifications of proposed team, capability of developing innovative or advanced techniques, familiarity with State procedures, and demonstrated technical ability.

Siegfried Engineering, Inc. received the highest ranking. Staff negotiated a fee in the amount of $920,000 with Siegfried Engineering, Inc. for design services. The fee is approximately 11 percent of the estimated construction cost, which is reasonable for a project of this type and complexity.

It is recommended that Council approve a motion authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Contract, in the amount of $920,000, with Siegfried Engineering, Inc. for design services of the Main Street and Market Street Complete Streets Phase 1 project. It is anticipated that the design will be completed by December 2026.

Findings
Pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) section 3.68.070, Council may approve findings which support an exception to the competitive bidding process. These findings include:

1. The City does not have sufficient staff and expertise to design this project.

2. Use of the RFP process is appropriate for this Professional Services Contract because it relies on the evaluation of professional qualifications and performance as the basis for selection of a vendor. Use of the criteria helps ensure selection of a vendor that will provide the highest quality professional service, which is in the public interest.
