APPROVE MOTION TO REJECT BIDS FOR DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION CONSULTING SERVICES (PUR 26-006)

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a motion to reject all bids received for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion consulting services (PUR 26-006).

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
In August 2025, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) consulting services (Attachment A). A total of 18 proposals were received in response to the solicitation.

Since that time, the City has experienced leadership changes and has reassessed its approach to advancing DEI initiatives. Rather than utilizing a consultant, the City now intends to hire a full-time Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer to lead these efforts internally. As a result, staff recommends rejecting all proposals received under PUR 26-006.

DISCUSSION
Background
In July 2022, the Stockton City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-07-12-1504 (Attachment B), formally declaring racism and inequity a human rights and public health crisis. The resolution reaffirmed the City’s commitment to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in its policies, practices, programs, and services.

The resolution recognizes the City’s responsibility to understand the impacts of past and present decisions on communities of color, low-income residents, and other historically marginalized groups, and calls for continued engagement with the community to help advance more equitable outcomes for all Stockton residents.

In August 2025, the City issued an RFP for DEI consulting services. Following further evaluation, staff determined that hiring a full-time Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer will better support the City’s long-term goals. Dedicated staff will provide consistent leadership, institutional knowledge, and ongoing coordination across departments to advance DEI initiatives. Unlike a consultant engagement, a full-time employee will allow the City to integrate DEI principles into daily operations, City of Stockton Printed on 4/9/2026Page 1 of 2

51 File #: 26-0312, Version: 1
policy development, and community engagement efforts in a more sustained and comprehensive manner.

Section 7.4 of the Request for Proposals states:
“The City reserves the right to rescind award of the contract at any time before execution of the contract by both parties if rescission is deemed to be in the City’s best interest. In no event shall the City have any liability for the rescission of award. The Proponent assumes the sole risk and responsibility for all expenses connected with the preparation of its proposal.” Consistent with this provision, and based on the City’s reassessment of its approach to advancing DEI initiatives, staff recommends rejecting all proposals received for DEI consulting services under PUR 26-006 and moving forward with the recruitment of a full-time Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer. Rejecting all proposals and pursuing an alternative staffing approach is in the City’s best interest at this time.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
There is no financial impact to the City by approving this motion.

Stockton’s rich history as a port city, agricultural hub, and cultural crossroads has shaped a dynamic community with deep ties across many cultural traditions, languages, and lived experiences. The City has long been a place of both opportunity and challenge, facing complex issues related to economic development, affordable housing, public safety, health disparities, environmental sustainability, and racial and social equity.

In July 2022, the Stockton City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-07-12-1504, formally declaring racism and inequity a human rights and public health crisis. This resolution reaffirmed the City’s commitment to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in its policies, practices, programs, and services. The resolution recognizes the City’s responsibility to understand the impacts of past and present decisions on communities of color, low-income residents, and other historically marginalized groups – and to actively engage the community in co-creating more equitable outcomes for all Stockton residents.

Today, Stockton is committed to building an inclusive municipal culture that reflects and serves the diversity of its residents. Through this DEI consulting engagement, the City seeks to develop a roadmap for institutional change, including best practices, structures, and accountability measures that embed DEI principles throughout City government.

The City of Stockton is seeking proposals from qualified consultants or consultant teams to provide Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) consulting services. In 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2022-07-12-1504, declaring racism and inequity a human rights and public health crisis and reaffirming the City’s commitment to advancing DEI in municipal policies, programs, and services.

TO ADVANCING DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION IN THE CITY OF

STOCKTON
Racism and other inequities cause persistent discrimination and disproportionate outcomes in many areas of life, including: housing, education, employment, and criminal justice; and
There are disproportionately higher rates of chronic disease, mortality, poverty, economic distress, and the adverse effects of health outcomes for racial minorities which are widely recognized and documented, yet continue to persist throughout the United States; and
The City of Stockton has been recognized as the most racially diverse city in the United States, composed of 42.7% Latinx, 21.5% Asian, 20.6% White (not Latinx), 11.2% African American, 0.7% Native American or Alaskan Native, 0.6% Pacific Islander or Native Hawaiian, and 11.8% two or more races; and
The City Council of the City of Stockton ("City Council") acknowledges societal inequities related to race, gender, and age that have resulted in vastly different living and social conditions and access to opportunities; and
Inclusion is the value and practice of ensuring that people feel they belong and that their inputs are valued by the whole (group, organization, society, system, etc.) particularly regarding decisions that affect their lives; and The compounding effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic disruption have exposed the gross inequities that exist in our society; and The City Council seeks to lead and.or join efforts to reverse the effects of the inequitabie policies, processes, and practices of the past, and recognizes it has a role to play in understanding and communicating the impacts that its decisions have on low income families, communities of color, and other disadvantaged communities and to engage the community in those decisions, now, therefore, II

APPROVE AN ADDENDUM TO THE LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH ZENCITY TECHNOLOGIES

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve by motion:

1. Authorizing an addendum to the annual software license agreement with Zencity Technologies (Zencity) in the amount of $63,000 per year for an additional three (3) years, for a not-to- exceed amount of $189,000; and

2. Authorizing the City Manager to continue this annual Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription through the regular budget approval process.

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

Summary
In January 2022, the City entered into an administratively approved single-source agreement with Zencity Technologies, a technology platform supporting the City’s organizational performance and data analytics efforts. In December 2024, the City Council approved an extension of the agreement through March 2026.

Staff has determined that the Zencity platform continues to provide significant value in supporting the City’s strategic planning and implementation of Council priority goals. Approval of the proposed addendum will ensure continuity of services without disruption.

Staff is requesting City Council approval of the License Agreement Addendum (Attachment A), along with authorization to continue the annual software subscription moving forward.

DISCUSSION
Background
The City has prioritized the implementation of a comprehensive and integrated performance management program aimed at delivering services that are more efficient, responsive, and data- driven. A key component of this effort is understanding community sentiment and engagement.

To support this objective, the City evaluated available tools to capture real-time, organic public feedback. In January 2022, following a review of available platforms, Zencity was identified as the most suitable solution due to its specialization in local government analytics and civic engagement.

City of Stockton Printed on 4/9/2026Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™
84 File #: 26-0397, Version: 1
The City subsequently entered into a license agreement with Zencity.

Zencity is an AI-powered community engagement platform used to gather and analyze resident feedback. By leveraging data from social media, local news, and digital surveys, the city identifies top community concerns to ensure decision-making aligns with resident needs. It collects thousands of "voices" quarterly from diverse digital platforms and measures public perception, safety, and trust to help public agencies move beyond traditional metrics. The technology uses census-matched data to ensure feedback reflects the entire community, not just the most vocal individuals.

Key aspects of Stockton's use of Zencity:
· Community Engagement: The platform assists in tracking resident feedback to validate city initiatives.
· Targeted Projects: Zencity was used for engagement on the "Thrive Downtown" initiative. · Identifying Concerns: The technology highlighted the need for increased youth programming and safety measures based on community input.
· Data Analysis: Zencity analyzes feedback from various sources to produce actionable reports for the City.

Present Situation
The City currently utilizes Zencity under an annual Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) licensing agreement, which includes a base package and the option to add services such as targeted surveys as needed. This subscription-based structure is standard within the industry.

Due to the nature of SaaS platforms, it is both cost-prohibitive and operationally inefficient to conduct a new procurement or transition to a different platform on an annual basis. Maintaining continuity with the existing platform ensures consistency in data collection, trend analysis, and overall program effectiveness.

Staff is therefore requesting approval to renew the agreement at an annual cost of $63,000 for an additional three (3) years, and to authorize the City Manager to continue the subscription as part of the City’s ongoing budget process.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
Funds have been budgeted in FY 2025-26 and are available in the Non-Departmental Citywide Special Services account. To support continuity of services in subsequent years, costs will be budgeted in the same account and subject to Council approval during the annual budget development process. This will allow the City to maintain its base package under the subscription based, annual licensing agreement.

ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE FINDINGS AND AWARD A CONTRACT TO HALEY & ALDRICH, INC. FOR ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES AT THE DELTA WATER INTAKE PUMP

STATION

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve 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 contract to Haley & Aldrich, Inc. of Walnut Creek, CA, in the amount of $158,100, to design erosion control measures at the Delta Water Treatment Plant Intake Pump Station (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 Delta Water Treatment Plant Intake Pump Station (IPS) is located in the Sacramento - San Joaquin River Delta at the end of Empire Tract Road. The facility is maintained by the Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) and provides raw water supply to the treatment plant via a 13-mile long pipeline. A common condition in the Delta is the potential for land settlement due to the unique geology of the underlying sediments. Sediments below a portion of the IPS have and will continue to settle at a decreasing rate for the foreseeable future. Past projects have helped improve settlement impacts.

If approved by the City Council, this action would authorize a contract to complete a geotechnical study and provide engineering design services that will be incorporated into various project improvements.

It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the findings and awarding an engineering services contract, in the amount of $158,100, to Haley & Aldrich, Inc., to design erosion control measures at the Delta Water Intake Pump Station.

the City of Stockton on the south bank of Empire Tract. Dedicated in 2012, the intake facility diverts water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta for treatment and distribution to the City of Stockton.

The IPS was built on top of an existing levee that was made taller and wider using specially placed and compacted gravel and soil. Beneath the levee is a layer of soft, compressible peat soil (remains of ancient wetlands) that is about 10 to 25 feet thick. This soft layer begins about 10 feet below the top of the levee. Areas that are not supported by deep foundation piles have experienced noticeable settlement of the ground since IPS construction was completed. The decision was made during the initial IPS project design that only a portion of the site would be pile supported due to overall project costs and budget restrictions.

Since 2012, MUD has continued to address settlement impacts thru contracted studies, evaluation of settlement effects, completion of design improvements, and has also completed various projects to remediate impacts.

Present Situation
On August 14, 2025, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) and posted it on the City’s Bid Flash website. In addition, email notifications containing a brief project description were distributed to 12 design consulting firms.

On August 25, 2025, the City conducted a mandatory pre-proposal site walk, which was attended by only one design firm.

On September 18, 2025, the City Clerk received one proposal and a sealed design cost from Haley & Aldrich, Inc.

The selection committee evaluated the proposal based on the firm’s understanding of the project, experience with similar work, qualifications of the proposed team, and overall project approach. The proposal submitted by Haley & Aldrich, Inc. met the established evaluation criteria.

Staff recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the findings and awarding a contract to Haley & Aldrich, Inc. for engineering design services related to erosion control measures at the Delta Water Intake Pump Station.

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. The City lacks technical expertise in hydrogeology and engineering to develop the needed design improvements to help remediate settlement impacts at the IPS.

2. The scope of services requires an engineering firm with expertise in designing erosion control measures and capability to conduct a comprehensive geotechnical investigation.

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

4. The Haley & Aldrich, Inc. contract proposal qualifies the necessary experience, is regular in all aspects and meets the required criteria.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
There are sufficient funds available in the MUD CIP Account No. 6518-000-800007-600-602-00-65- 000-000 under Project No. UH21002 to award a contract to Haley & Aldrich, Inc. of Walnut Creek, in the amount of for $158,100 to design erosion control measures at the Delta Water Intake Pump Station.

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

STATEMENT OF WORK

1. Project Objectives
This pr
oject is to design an engineering solution to stop the erosion of recent AB material into the wet well around the parameter of Intake Pump Station building, the sinking and settlement of AB material in the area around the existing 54-inch raw water discharge pipe vaults, on ramps that were built during the initial improvements in 2021, and a design solution to close all gaps created during initial levee settlement between the pavement area and along the piles-supported intake concrete platform on the north. This project also requires conducting a geotechnical investigation to determine the causes of these erosion and settlement.

2. Project Scope
A. TAS
K 1 – PROJECT MANAGEMENT
This task will consist of managing the project and establishing collaborative lines of communication with the project teams of Haley & Aldrich and the City of Stockton. Through regular meetings, progress reporting, and proactive risk management, we will keep the project on track and deliver the expected outcomes

1. Ad
ministration: General project coordination, communication with stakeholders, and management of subconsultants and vendors.

2. Schedul
ing: Develop and maintain a detailed project schedule using Microsoft Project, tracking all deliverables and interdependencies.

3. Repor
ting: Prepare monthly progress reports, including updates on scope, schedule budget, and challenges.

4. Qual
ity Assurance: Implement QA/QC procedures throughout all project phases to ensure deliverables meet Stockton standards.

5. Heal
th & Safety Plans, Work Plans, etc.: Develop necessary project-specific plans, including health and safety, risk management, and quality plans.

6. Conduct
Kickoff Meeting: Initiate the project with City staff to confirm objectives, establish lines of communication, and clarify available baseline documentation (as - bults, geotechnical reports, prior HDR evaluation, survey data). Discuss areas and operations to understand needs and potential for improvements to improve the performance of facility.

7. Hol
d Progress Meetings: Schedule a minimum of three in-person meetings (at key project milestones) to collaborate with stakeholders, present findings, and seek real- time feedback.

EXHIBIT 1
95 This task consists of data evaluation, data gap identification, site investigation, and development of alternatives. It is important to begin discussions early with the City to understand project requirements and how they influence alternatives.

1. Review Existing Records: Examine as -built drawings, previous geotechnical investigations, annual settlement monitoring survey data (including reports by HDR and KSN, Inc.), and any available prior retrofit documentation to understand the subsurface profile and historical settlement behavior. Develop preliminary concepts for the purpose of planning exploration activities.

2. Vis
it the Site: Perform a visual field assessment, focusing on locations of recent and recurring voids, sinkholes, and differential settlements, as informed by photo documentation and project team remarks.

3. Identify and Obtain Missing Data: Determine missing or essential data (e.g., a Kleinfelder report referenced in the 2021 HDR draft letter), and work with the City to obtain them before proceeding to design.

4. Mappi
ng of Distress:
a. We will use our in house LiDAR UAS to collect elevation data and high quality imagery for use in mapping distress at the IPS. While on site, we can set or use existing survey points on pile supported improvements as local control. b. We have included a limited amount of survey time with a surveyor we have a long history working with without a specific scope. It is assumed that the existing survey points can be used for control points for our UAS work. However, if there are datum or other items to address, having some scope available may allow for addressing the issue without budgetary impacts.

5. Conduct G
eotechnical Investigation:
a. Develop geotechnical exploration work plan and site safety plan and provide to City for review and concurrence.
b. Perform field investigation and subsurface exploration consisting of borings and cone penetration tests.
c. Our proposed scope assumes 1 day of Cone Penetration testing (CPTs). In a day, we should be able to complete 2 to 4 Cone Penetration Tests to supplement existing data regarding the distribution of peat and/or soft clay sediments below the levee embankment. The CPTs would be grouted in compliance with well permit requirements.
d. Following the CPTs, we would complete 1 -3 borings using mud rotary drilling to obtain undisturbed samples at selected depths for laboratory testing e. We also included cost for some potholing work, if needed to identify utilities or the depth of shallow improvements.
f. The exploration effort will be used to characterize the thickness, extent, and variability of peat, engineered fill, and foundation materials below and adjacent to IPS.

B. TASK 2 - DESIGN OF MITIGATION MEASURES

SITE ASSESSMENT AND DATA GATHERING
EXHIBIT 1
96 g. The effort will provide the basis for assessment of soil properties, groundwater conditions, and potential pathways for piping or loss of aggregate base materials into underlying voids.
h. Complete laboratory testing (index properties, strength, consolidation, compressibility, erosion resistance) necessary to support settlement analysis and selection of remedial techniques.
i. Analyze mechanisms of settlement: Distinguish between primary consolidation, ongoing differential settlement due to soft foundations, and erosion- related soil loss into voids. Evaluate the distribution of settlement and why previous estimates appear to underestimate settlement when compared to observations at the site.

We are considering work related to alternatives evaluation and geotechnical as included in task 2. For efficiency, these two efforts need to be coordinated. It is important that the investigation address needs for elimination or selection of a preferred alternative.

1. Integrate Geotechnical Findings:
a. Us
e results of geotechnical investigation to assess the primary causes of distress (differential settlement vs. erosion/internal piping) and conceptualize potential site location-specific mitigation alternatives for evaluation. b. Establish the engineering rationale for alternatives (such as deep foundation support, lightweight fill, cutoff walls, grouting, or other erosion- resistant details), grounded in documented subsurface conditions.
c. Evaluate existing monitoring, site history, rate of settlement, and distribution of settlement and distribution of peat soils underling the IPS. Evaluate existing borings and data and perform additional investigation and testing to understand mechanisms for settlement and develop improved estimates of future behavior.

2. Develop and Compare Remedial Alternatives:
a. Develop and compare options for each area indicated in red on Exhibit 4 provided with the RFP (access ramp, deck between guardrail and parking lot on west and east sides of the well house, and noted areas along the west, north, and east sides of the intake pump house), integrating both civil and geotechnical design best practices.
b. For repairs and mitigation, ensure selection is fully informed by the new geotechnical investigation (e.g., feasibility of deep foundations, need for subsurface barriers, requirements for the construction methods to be utilized). c. Evaluate and compare constructability, costs, and risks for the identified alternatives to inform selection with the City of a preferred alternative(s)

ALTERNATIVES EVALUATION AND PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING
EXHIBIT 1
97 To support a rigorous alternatives assessment, summarized below are several feasible concepts/options and their potential application for key project areas around the Delta WTP Intake Pump Station. The matrix below highlights site location-specific issues and compares representative mitigation measures and methods. In selecting preferred improvements, it will be important to keep in mind the levee function of the embankment and to consider if there are implications of the anticipated work on the levee. H&A has extensive experience designing new levees and evaluating and mitigating existing levee improvements.

ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE FINDINGS AND AWARD A CONTRACT TO KLEINFELDER, INC. FOR ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES FOR MULTIPLE GROUNDWATER

WELL ABANDONMENTS

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve 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 Contract to Kleinfelder, Inc. of Stockton, CA, in the amount of $370,441 for Engineering Design Services for the decommissioning of South Stockton System Groundwater Wells No. SSS4, SSS5, old water well SSS3 and Delta Water Treatment Plant Agriculture Well, Project No. UH25012 (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 the resolution.

Summary
The Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) owns and operates several water wells that are active and supply drinking water to the distribution system throughout the Stockton water service area.

Groundwater wells can operate for many years, but when a well no longer performs as designed and is not a candidate for rehabilitation, it is placed into an “Inactive” status.

South Stockton System inactive groundwater wells (No. SSS4, SSS5, old water well SSS3) and an old agriculture well located at the Delta Water Treatment Plant (DWTP) are scheduled for decommissioning and abandonment because they are non-operable or do not meet California Code of Regulations Title 22 drinking water standards.

If approved by the City Council, this action would authorize a professional services contract to design the decommissioning of South Stockton System groundwater wells No. SSS4, SSS5, old water well SSS3 and the DWTP agriculture well. These wells do not meet California Code of Regulations Title 22 (CDR Title 22) Drinking Water Quality Standards and are not viable candidates for onsite wellhead treatment improvements.

File #: 26-0110, Version: 1
The MUD owns and operates several water wells that are active and supply drinking water to the distribution system throughout Stockton water service area.

South Stockton System groundwater wells No. SSS4, SSS5, old water well SSS3 and DWTP agriculture well are scheduled for decommissioning and abandonment because they do not meet the drinking water standards established in the California Code of Regulations Title 22. Wells that fail to meet these regulatory requirements are classified as “Inactive.” The four wells identified for decommissioning have remained in inactive status for more than 20 years. In addition, the location, age, and size of the properties where these wells are situated make onsite wellhead treatment impractical and infeasible.

On October 2, 2025, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) and posted it on the City’s Bid Flash website. In addition, e-mail notifications containing a brief project description were distributed to eight design consultants.

On October 27, 2025, the City conducted a mandatory pre-proposal site walk, which was attended by four design firms.

On November 20, 2025, the City Clerk received one proposal and a sealed design cost from Kleinfelder, Inc.

Present Situation
The MUD evaluated the proposal based on the firm’s understanding of the project, experience with similar work, qualifications of the proposed team, and overall project approach. The proposal submitted by Kleinfelder, Inc. met the established evaluation criteria.

Staff recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution awarding a Contract to Kleinfelder, Inc., in the amount of $370,441 for Engineering Design Services for the decommissioning of South Stockton System Groundwater Wells No. SSS4, SSS5, old water well SSS3 and DWTP Agriculture Well, Project No. UH25012.

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. The City does not have the technical expertise to provide a timely and cost-effective design of this project for bidding and construction in 2027.

2. The scope of services requires an engineering firm experienced in designing the decommissioning of wells in accordance and compliance with well abandonment requirements set by the State and San Joaquin County Environment Health Department.

3. 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 City of Stockton Printed on 4/9/2026Page 2 of 3
powered by Legistar™
121
File #: 26-0110, Version: 1
vendor. Use of these criteria helps ensure selection of a vendor that will provide the highest quality professional service which is in the public interest.

4. The Kleinfelder, Inc. proposal is regular in all aspects and meets the required criteria.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
There are sufficient funds available in Fiscal Year 2025-26 in account No. 6518-000-800007-600-602 -00-65-000-000 under Project No. UH25012 to award a Contract to Kleinfelder, Inc. of Stockton, CA, in the amount of $370,441 for Engineering Design Services for the decommissioning of South Stockton System Groundwater Wells No. SSS4, SSS5, old water well SSS3 and DWTP Agriculture Well.

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

1. Contract Management
a. Team Building
b. Kick-off Meeting with MUD
c. Design Phases (50%, 90%, 100%) – These phases of design will be produced for MUD’s review and input prior to final design.
d. Final design Plans, Specifications and Estimate
e. Bidding and Construction Technical Services
f. MUD Approval and Communication, and
g. Quality Assurance and Quality Control

B. TASK 2 – DATA AND DOCU,EMT GATHERING AND ENGINEERING

INVESTIGATIVE WORK

1. Kleinfelder will review the project against the relevant state, federal and local standards and regulations including the City’s design standards and specifications to confirm that Kleinfelder’s scope of work implement existing guidelines, avoids redundancy, and aligns with municipal expectations.

C. TASK 3 – TECHNICAL PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR BIDDING AND

DECOMMISSIONING CONSTRUCTION

Based on the scope presented in the RFP, Kleinfelder will:
a. Prepare detailed specifications for the identification of equipment type, size, and dimensions
b. Prepare detailed site drawings, including surface features and subsurface features identified by potholing. The site drawings will be reviewed at milestones 50%, 90%, and 100% completion stages.

EXHIBIT 1
126
3 (Rev. 10.30.18)

1. Technical Plans
Kleinfelder, Inc. anticipates that a total of twenty (20) design sheets, covering all four (4) well sites, will be submitted for City review, which will include the following sheets:
• Title Page (1), General Notes, Abbreviations, Symbols, and Table of Contents (1), General Construction Plans (1)
• Demolition Plans
o Demolition Notes (1)
o Civil and Structure (4)
o Mechanical (4)
o Electrical & Instrumentation and Controls (4)
o Demolition Typical Details (4)
Kleinfelder will prepare a set of full -scale construction plans on 24” by 36” design sheets.

2. Specifications
To supplement City standards, Kleinfelder will submit the technical specification sections in Construction Specification Institute (CSI) format. Kleinfelder anticipates the inclusion of technical specification sections covering the following:
• Site-specific demolition
o Removal of diesel fuel, back-up generators, above-ground fuel storage tanks
o Removal of pumps, piping, and ancillary equipment
• Access preparation
• Permitting
• Inspecting (site inspection and video documentation of well interior) • Grouting, sealing, or backfilling of the well casing in accordance with San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department Well Standards that align with the state's minimums set by the California DWR Bulletin 74-81 (updated Standards due in 2026)
• Excess diesel fuel handling and disposal
• Hazardous asbestos-containing material removal and disposal in accordance with Federal (United States Environmental Protection Agency), State (Cal/OSHA and Department of Toxic Substances Control), and local (San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District) regulations. Hazardous lead- based paint removal and disposal in accordance with Federal (United States Environmental Protection Agency), State (Cal/OSHA and Department of Toxic Substances Control), and local (San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District) regulations
• Erosion Control Measures
• Surface restoration
Additionally, Kleinfelder will develop detailed specifications for inspection for the presence of suspect hazardous asbestos and lead-based paint (particularly at Wells SSS#4 and #5) that might be disturbed during decommissioning activities in accordance w ith Federal (United States EXHIBIT 1
127
4 (Rev. 10.30.18)
Environmental Protection Agency), State (Cal/OSHA and Department of Toxic Substances Control), and local (San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District) regulations. The specifications will detail the regulatory framework governing the requirements such as procedures, personal protective measure, personnel certification requirements, laboratory analyses, and reporting requirements. These specifications will be prepared by Kleinfelder’s in-house State -certified personnel including Cal/OSHA Certified Asbestos Consultants and California Department of Public Health Lead Paint Inspectors.

D. TASK 4 – ENGINEERING ESTIMATE OF DEMOLITION CONSTRUCTION COST
To deliver a reliable, defensible demolition construction cost estimate tailored to local market conditions, Kleinfelder will prepare an engineering estimate. The estimate will be grounded in measured quantities (QTOs), unit costs indexed with local ENR factors, benchmarks from recent comparable projects , and a market “reality check” with reputable local contractors. The outcome of this method is a transparent, well-documented estimate with clear accuracy limits, risks, and contingencies. As a realistic target with full QTOs and contractor input, we target ±10–15% accuracy.

This process produces a market-aligned, quantitatively rigorous estimate that increases confidence in budget decisions, reduces the likelihood of cost surprises during procurement, and clearly communicates scope, risks, and assumptions to stakeholders.

E. TASK 5 – QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL
Every delivery is based on a well-defined scope of work. The scope of work is developed by senior project team members. The scope of work includes an anticipated level of effort broken down by staff level including task and subtasks. Included in the scope development phase is input and review by a Kleinfelder senior professional as an independent technical reviewer. A Kleinfelder senior professional in engineering discipline or practice reviews all draft work product. This includes a high-level quality review and independent technical review.

Kleinfelder conducts QA/QC reviews at each submittal to confirm our work meets the scope of services and required standards. All deliverables receive a thorough review by our QA/QC manager and qualified peer reviewer before submittal to MUD. At Kleinfelder, our quality management functions include the following:

1. Quality Assurance: Planned and systematic actions, processes, and programs that are designed to provide confidence that deliverables, test results, inspections, etc., meet requirements. The purpose of the QA is to confirm that the QC has occurred.

2. Quality Control: Documented independent, routine, and regular checking of calculations, data analysis, data transcription, tables, report writing, etc., that are performed by a designated QC person throughout the life of a project. The purpose of QC is to fulfill quality requirements.

EXHIBIT 1
128
5 (Rev. 10.30.18)

3. Independent Technical Review (ITR): Confirmation that the technical approach, methodology, calculations, conclusions, recommendations, etc., are consistent with client expectations, as well as good engineering, scientific, and architectural practices.

4. Peer Review: Confirmation that appropriate QA/QC and ITR were conducted, and the delivery is suitable for publication.

The QA/QC manager and qualified peer reviewer remain the same throughout completion of each task. A delivery will not be submitted without the quality peer reviewer signing off that the work meets or exceeds the requirements of the contract and industry standard of care.

City of Stockton may deduct from any amounts otherwise due Contractor to fund the SIR/deductible. Policies shall NOT contain any self-insured retention (SIR) provision that limits the satisfaction of the SIR to the Named. The policy must also provide that Defense costs, including the Allocated Loss Adjustment Expenses, will satisfy the SIR or deductible. City of Stockton reserves the right to obtain a copy of any policies and endorsements for verification.

Acceptability of Insurers

1. Definitions. The following words and phrases have the following meanings for purposes of this Agreement:

1.1 "Services" means, collectively, the services, duties and responsibilities described in Exhibit A of this Agreement and all work necessary to complete them or carry them out fully and to the standard of performance required in this Agreement.

1.2 “Deliverable” means quantifiable goods or services that will be provided upon completion of a project. A deliverable is any tangible material, work or thing delivered by one party to the other, including associated technical documentation. A deliverable can be tangible or intangible parts of the development process and often are specified functions or characteristics of the project.

2. General. The following terms and conditions are applicable for Professional Services only. The special conditions shall be read in conjunction with the Standard Agreement, General Terms and Conditions (“GTC”) Exhibit C, and all other Exhibits identified in the Standard Agreement.

2.1 Where any portion of the GTC is in conflict to or at variance with any provisions of the Special Conditions of the Agreement, then unless a different intention stated, the provision(s) of the Special Conditions of the Agreement shall be deemed to override the provision(s) of GTC only to the extent that such conflict or variations in the Special Conditions of the Agreement are not possible of being reconciled with the provisions of the GTC.

2.2 In the case of modification of a part or provision of the GTC, the unaltered part or provision, or both shall remain in effect. The Special Conditions shall relate to a particular project and be peculiar to that project but shall not weaken the character or intent of the GTC.

3. Time for Performance.

3.1 Contractor shall perform the services according to the schedule contained in Exhibit F.

3.2 Timeliness of Performance i) Contractor shall provide the Services, and Deliverables within the term and within the time limits required under this Agreement, pursuant to the provisions of Exhibit A and Exhibit F. ii) Neither Contractor nor Contractor’s agents, employees nor subcontractors are entitled to any damages from the City, nor is any party entitled to be reimbursed by the City, for damages, charges or other EXHIBIT 1

Contractor shall comply with the profession’s standard of performance, applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards. By delivery of completed work, Contractor certifies that the work conforms to the requirements of this Agreement and all applicable federal, state and local laws. If Contractor is retained to perform services requiring a license, certification, registration or other similar requirement under California law, Contractor shall maintain that license, certification, registration or other similar requirement throughout the term of this Agreement.

All Deliverables must be prepared in a form and content satisfactory to the Using Agency and delivered in a timely manner consistent with the requirements of this Agreement.

4.3 If Contractor fails to comply with the foregoing standards, Contractor must perform again, at its own expense, all Services required to be re-performed as a direct or indirect result of that failure. Any review, approval, acceptance or payment for any of the Services by the City does not relieve Contractor of its responsibility for the professional skill and care and technical accuracy of its Services and Deliverables. This provision in no way limits the City’s rights against Contractor either under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

5. Compensation

If Contractor does not correct the failure, or if it is possible to do so, within 30 days after receipt of notice from the City specifying the failure, then the City, by written notice, may treat the failure as a default of this Agreement.

Partial or incomplete Deliverables may be accepted for review only when required for a specific and well-defined purpose and when consented to in advance by the City. Such Deliverables will not be considered as satisfying the requirements of this Agreement and partial or incomplete Deliverables in no way relieve Contractor of its commitments under this Agreement.

11. Applicable Laws

ADOPT A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING GUIDELINES FOR CITY COUNCIL MEMBER

COMMUNICATION AND CONDUCT DURING ACTIVE LABOR NEGOTIATIONS TO ENSURE

COMPLIANCE WITH THE MEYERS-MILIAS-BROWN ACT (MMBA)

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

1. Approve and establish guidelines for City Council Member communications and conduct during active labor negotiations to ensure compliance with the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA) and to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of the collective bargaining 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 resolution.

Summary
City employees are represented by nine (9) officially recognized employee organizations. Under the MMBA, these organizations have the right to collectively bargain with the City regarding wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment, which are memorialized in Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs).

This resolution establishes protocols to ensure consistent communication, protect confidential negotiations, and support orderly labor relations.

DISCUSSION
Background
The City periodically engages in collective bargaining with its employee organizations as MOUs are set to expire. Effective and coordinated negotiations require a clear structure for authority, communication, and Council direction. The proposed resolution provides for the following:
· Ensures compliance with the MMBA by preventing direct dealing between Council Members and employee organizations outside the formal negotiation process.

On March 3, 2026, the City Council approved Resolution 2026-03-03-1208, which adopted Part One of a proposed two-part resolution related to the City’s collective bargaining process. Part One formally designated the City’s established Labor Relations Team.

157
File #: 26-0407, Version: 1
At that time, the City Council did not approve Part Two of the proposed resolution. Part Two was intended to establish guidelines governing City Council Member communications and conduct during active labor negotiations in order to ensure compliance with the MMBA and to preserve the confidentiality and integrity of the collective bargaining process.

The resolution presented for consideration today is Part Two of the resolution originally presented on March 3, 2026. It establishes guidelines for the communication and conduct of the City Council Members during active labor negotiations in accordance with the MMBA.

Present Situation
The City of Stockton is preparing to engage in collective bargaining with its nine (9) recognized employee organizations which include:
o Stockton City Employees’ Association (SCEA)
o Mid-Management / Supervisory Level (B&C)
o Operations and Maintenance (O&M)
o Trades and Maintenance (T&M)
o Water Supervisory Unit
o Stockton Firefighters Local 456 (Fire)
o Stockton Fire Management Unit
o Stockton Police Officers’ Association (SPOA)
o Stockton Police Management Association (SPMA)
To ensure a coordinated, lawful, and effective bargaining process, it is necessary for the City Council to follow guidelines in accordance with the MMBA which requires the City to negotiate through its designated representatives and prohibits direct dealing or attempts to bypass those representatives.

Additionally, negotiation strategy and direction are appropriately provided by the City Council in closed session, and the confidentiality of those discussions must be maintained.

FINDINGS
The resolution establishes the following guidelines for Council Members during active negotiations:
a) No Council Member shall discuss or attempt to directly negotiate with any member of a City employee organization once the City has started negotiations with that organization and until a final agreement has been reached for that labor group.
b) All discussions and Council direction for labor collective bargaining shall take place with the City's representatives during closed session meetings of the City Council. c) No Council Member shall disclose any discussion that takes place in closed session unless a majority of the entire Council authorizes.
d) Any attempt by a member of an employee organization to discuss a meet and confer issue with a Council Member shall be promptly reported to the City Council.

File #: 26-0407, Version: 1
e) Council Members shall refrain from discussions with the press on meet and confer issues until a final agreement has been reached for that labor group, unless a majority of the entire Council authorizes.
f) Prior to the initiation of meet and confer negotiations or following the approval of final agreement for that labor group, Council Members are free to discuss and state their views on all issues that pertain to the meet and confer process and to the agreement, and all other matters as long as confidential communications are not divulged. g) For the purposes of these guidelines, "member of an employee organization" shall include any employee in a classification that is included in the bargaining unit, any person who represents the employee organization during the meet and confer process, any employee, officer, or agent of the employee organization, and any spouse, or other close relative of any of the aforementioned, and any person who approaches a Council Member (or whom a Council Member approaches) on behalf of any of the aforementioned.

These guidelines support compliance with state labor law, protect the integrity of the bargaining process, and promote consistent and effective labor relations.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution has no direct fiscal impact. Fiscal impacts with negotiated labor agreements will be presented to the City Council at the time tentative agreements are brought forward for approval.

Resolution No.

STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL

RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING GUIDELINES FOR CITY COUNCIL MEMBER

COMMUNICATION AND CONDUCT DURING ACTIVE LABOR NEGOTIATIONS TO

ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE MEYERS-MILIAS-BROWN ACT (MMBA)

For purposes of collective bargaining (negotiations), City employees are represented by nine (9) different officially recognized employee organizations (Employee Associations or Unions). Under state law, these employee organizations have the right to collectively bargain wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment. These negotiated terms are contained in a labor agreement often referred to as a Memorandum of Understanding, (“MOU”); and

To facilitate these negotiations, the City has designated its official representatives for collective bargaining. The City’s representatives shall receive their direction for negotiations from the City Council in closed session and shall have delegated authority to reach Tentative Agreements with employee organizations, which are non-binding until ratified by the City Council in open session; and

Closed session discussions are protected by law, and violating closed session confidentiality may result in removal from office and a criminal misdemeanor charge.

Additionally, the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA) prohibits direct dealing or attempting to bypass the designated representatives for collective bargaining; and

To promote and further the harmonious and orderly conduct of labor relations, the City Council agrees to foll ow the guidelines below during active negotiations; now, therefore,

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

1) The City Council members agree to follow the guidelines below while the City is actively in the process of collectively bargaining with City employee organizations:

b) All discussions and Council direction for labor collective bargaining shall take place with the City's representatives during closed session meetings of the City Council.
c) No Council Member shall disclose any discussion that takes place in closed session unless a majority of the entire Council authorizes. 160
d) Any attempt by a member of an employee organization to discuss a meet and confer issue with a Counc il Member shall be promptly reported to the City Council.
e) Council Members shall refrain from discussions with the press on meet and confer issues until a final agreement has been reached for that labor group, unless a majority of the entire Council authorizes. f) Prior to the initiation of meet and confer negotiations or following the approval of final agreement for that labor group, Council Members are free to discuss and state their views on all issues that pertain to the meet and confer process and to the agreement, and all other matters as long as confidential communications are not divulged. g) For the purposes of these guidelines, "member of an employee organization" shall include any employee in a classification that is included in the bargaining unit, any person who represents the employee organization during the meet and confer process, any employee, officer, or agent of the employee organization, and any spouse, or other close relative of any of the aforementioned, and any person who approaches a Council Member (or whom a Council Member approaches) on behalf of any of the aforementioned.

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

APPROVE RESOLUTION OF INTENTION FOR THE FORMATION OF THE FIVE MILE SLOUGH ASSESSMENT DISTRICT, PRELIMINARILY APPROVE AN ENGINEER’S REPORT, AND SET A

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE FORMATION OF THE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT AND

THE LEVY OF A PROPOSED ASSESSMENT

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a Resolution of Intention:

1. Expressing Council’s intent to form the Five Mile Slough Assessment District.

2. Preliminarily approve the Five Mile Slough Assessment District Engineer's Report for the Fiscal Year 2027-28.

3. Preliminarily approve the proposed Fiscal Year 2027-28 budget.

4. Direct the preparation and mailing of notices pursuant to Proposition 218 to each landowner of record within the proposed Five Mile Slough Assessment District.

5. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to sign the ballots for City-owned properties in the proposed district to be in favor of formation.

6. Set a public hearing for the formation of the Five Mile Slough Assessment District, tabulation of ballots, and consideration of the proposed assessment on June 9, 2026.

7. Authorize the City Clerk to publish required notices for the Public Hearing and Proposition 218 proceeding.

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 proposed Five Mile Slough Assessment District (District) would levy assessments to fund maintenance related to water quality in the Five Mile Slough area (Attachment A). The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Act), under which this District will be formed, requires preliminary approval of the District budget and the Engineer’s Report, requires a public hearing for final approval of the formation of the District and its proposed budget and Engineer’s Report, and for the tabulation of protests pursuant to Government Code Section 53753.

The recommended resolution expresses the Council’s intention to form the District, preliminarily approves the District's Engineer's Report (Exhibit 1 to the Resolution) and the Fiscal Year (FY) 2027- 28 budget (Attachment B), directs the mailing of ballots pursuant to Government Code Section 53753, and sets a public hearing for June 9, 2026, for the final approval of the District’s formation, FY 2027-28 budget and Engineer's Report, as well as for the tabulation of ballot results.

DISCUSSION
Background
Five Mile Slough and Five Mile Creek’s natural watercourse and function have been altered due to channel straightening and levee construction in the late 1800s and early 1900s, removal of tributary streams, construction of the roadway crossings, and increased peak flows from urbanization from the 1950s to the present. Since the 1990s, residents and Reclamation District 1608 have been notified through letters and public outreach meetings by both the City of Stockton (City) and San Joaquin County (County) about stagnant water, declining water quality, invasive aquatic weeds, a deteriorating ecosystem, and lack of maintenance within both Five Mile Slough and Five Mile Creek.

Many of these issues are interrelated, requiring a coordinated response by responsible parties to implement multiple solutions to address the issues simultaneously to prevent the problems from recurring, avoid creating new problems, and avoid making other issues worse. Efforts to improve the waterway and mitigate and remove aquatic weeds have been difficult due to the private ownership of Five Mile Slough and Five Mile Creek amongst residents, a lack of clear jurisdictional and maintenance responsibilities, and, therefore, a lack of funding mechanisms. The City and the County have allocated discretionary funds for maintenance in recent years; however, these funds are not consistent or guaranteed year after year.

In 2025, the City allocated discretionary funds to study the formation of an assessment district to create a clear jurisdictional responsibility for certain maintenance activities and to provide a consistent funding source for the maintenance.

In 2025, Siegfried Engineering, Inc. (Siegfried) was retained to evaluate and determine the feasibility of forming the assessment district for the maintenance of special benefits associated with the waterway per the Act. The waterway, based on a 2016 study performed by Siegfried, has been determined to be a combination of backwater sloughs, which create a linked system of ponds from the White Slough Dam to approximately Caran Avenue, and a storm conveyance mechanism from Caran Avenue to Pacific Avenue at the terminal end of the Five Mile Creek. The backwater slough functions as a source for irrigation water for the City-owned Swenson Park and Golf Course, and the weir is adjusted annually to raise the water depth in the summer to support the irrigation functions.

The ownership of the waterway varies from public to private entities.

In order to form an assessment district, the special and general benefits of the assessment must be defined, a budget to maintain the special benefit must be established, the parcels included in the assessment district, and the methodology behind the spread of assessment developed. After a public outreach meeting held on December 18, 2025, the District’s Engineer’s Report, budget, and maps were finalized for presentation to Council for its consideration in proceeding with the formation of the proposed District and associated assessment.

File #: 26-0327, Version: 1
Present Situation
The Act and the associated processes under Proposition 218 require all benefiting property owners to be given the opportunity to vote on the establishment of a maintenance assessment district and the associated assessment. The District cannot be formed and, accordingly, cannot levy the proposed assessments if a majority protest exists. A majority protest exists if the assessment ballots submitted and are not withdrawn, in opposition to the proposed assessment exceeding the assessment ballots submitted and are not withdrawn, in its favor. Each assessment ballot is weighted by the amount of the proposed assessment to be imposed upon the identified parcel for which each assessment ballot was submitted.

The proposed District consists of 198 parcels in the Swenson Park area (Attachment A) and would allow for assessments to be collected for the special benefit received as a result of improved water quality. The general benefit portion of the proposed District’s budget is included in the Public Works, San Joaquin Area Flood Control Agency, and County Operating budgets for their respective responsibilities.

The proposed District would set annual assessments to be collected by the County with annual property taxes on each taxable parcel contained within the District. These annual assessments provide funding for the maintenance and repair of the water quality improvements and odor-reducing measures; grant writing for odor reduction and water quality improvement; invasive vegetation removal and supplemental spraying; sediment removal or reduction; and erosion repair, which confer a special benefit to the assessed properties. The fund also accounts for preparing an Annual Engineer's Report and assessment roll. The Annual Engineer's Report contains the District's budget.

The budget details the maintenance and administrative costs for the District.

The total maximum estimated revenue required for FY 2027-28 operation and administration costs is $87,878.60. However, the actual assessment in the initial years will be lower due to the water quality devices not yet being funded or installed.

The special benefit received by each parcel is directly proportional to the square feet of parcel area (SF) of each parcel receiving the special benefit, as defined in the Engineer’s Report. The maximum FY 2027-28 SF assessment rate will be $0.0171546 (Attachment B).

The proposed District assessment includes an annual escalator. The escalator is the greater of three percent or the increase in the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward All Urban Consumers Price Index (CPI). The escalator allows the assessment, when necessary, to keep pace with inflation without having to go through the time and expense to ballot the property owners. The maximum allowable assessment annually adjusts by the CPI, while the actual assessment needed to cover a zone's expenses is determined based on the estimated expenses for the fiscal year.

At the end of each fiscal year, any unexpended funds are returned to the District's reserve, which can be used to fund District improvements.

Notice of the proposed assessment must be mailed to each property owner of record within the proposed District no later than 45 days before the date of the hearing on the District’s formation. The required notices will be mailed to all landowners of record no later than April 25, 2026.

File #: 26-0327, Version: 1
In addition, notice of the public hearing is required to be published a minimum of 10 days prior to the public hearing. The required notice will be published in The Record on or before May 30, 2026.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
Total Proposed FY 2027-28 Maximum Assessments $87,878.60 Total Proposed FY 2027-28 Appropriation from Reserves $ 0.00 TOTAL PROPOSED FY 2027-28 SPECIAL BENEFIT BUDGET $87,878.60 Assessments are collected to fund the special benefit costs received by the properties in the District and held in a separate fund for this purpose. Funds for the general benefit costs will be presented to Council for consideration during the normal budget process for the FY 2027-28 and are estimated to be $0.00.

The impact to the City's General Fund will be the City’s proportional share of the special benefit, which is estimated to be a maximum of $20,439.80 in FY 2027-28, as a result of taking the recommended actions.

PURPOSE
This Engineer’s Report is prepared pursuant to and in compliance with the requirements of the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 (Division 12 of the Streets and Highways Code, beginning with Section 10000) authorizing local agencies to impose assessments on beneficial properties to finance the construction of public improvements. (Section 10100 and 10100.5) and the maintenance and repair of improvements constructed pursuant to the Act (Section 10100.8) This Engineer’s Report is prepared to create the City of Stockton Five Mile Slough Assessment District No. 26-1, hereinafter referred to as Assessment District, for the purpose of levying and collecting assessments each fiscal year to pay for the cost of annual maintenance, invasive weed control, repair, and capital improvement projects (CIP) of the slough from the White Slough Dam to Rivara.

ASSESSMENT DISTRICT BOUNDARY

The Assessment District consists of the parcels which have frontage along the waterway that have sightlines to the water, utilize the water way for irrigation, and those that derive a benefit from enhanced water quality and odor control. The parcels with land area within the boundary are identified by using the San Joaquin County Assessor’s Book 071, at Pages 180, 280, and 310, and Book 077, at Pages 140, 150, 174, 230, 240, 250, 350, 370, 380, 460, and 480, book 082, at Pages 370, and 380, Book 097 at Page 120, and Book 098 at Page 020. See Exhibit C for the Assessment District boundary and the included parcels.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK

The presence of invasive aquatic vegetation, trash, and debris impacts the entire waterway by increasing odor, reducing aesthetics, and reducing overall water quality. The purpose of the District is to reduce the invasive aquatic vegetation and sediment in the waterway to mitigate the unsightly appearance, reduce odor, and improve water quality for the irrigation of Swenson Park and Golf Course, and the surrounding property owners impacted by the odor and poor water quality. The work to be approved by the Assessment District is for ongoing maintenance, invasive vegetation removal and supplemental spraying, sediment reduction, erosion repair, grant writing, administration of District, and the implementation of water quality improvements. The City will act as the District Manager.

The District Manager shall be responsible for:
• E
stablishing the annual budget,
• Keeping account of the maintenance, repair, and administration costs, • Managing and performing the work associated with the District, whether directly or by subcontract, and
• Paying all maintenance, repair, administration, and utility and other incidental expenses.

The District Manager shall provide annually to the Assessment Engineer the description of the expected maintenance, repair, and administration work, the annual budget, including the cost of updating annually the Engineer’s Report.

SPECIAL BENEFIT ASSESSMENT

The Assessment District is levying an assessment against all the properties in the Assessment District for the cost of maintenance and repair of the water quality improvements and odor reducing measures, grant writing for odor reduction and water quality improvement, invasive vegetation removal and supplemental spraying, sediment removal or reduction, and erosion repair, which confer a special benefit to the assessed properties. The special benefit is a particular and distinct benefit which the assessed properties receive from the waterway, and which is over and above general benefits conferred to properties in the Assessment District or to the general public at large. The regional general benefit of the waterway is flood control and water conveyance. The general benefit of regional storm water collection and conveyance is required and therefore not a special benefit. This assessment district will not collect funds to address the general City and County benefit of storm conveyance and flood control.

All parcels with lands within the District boundary are assessed for their proportional share of the Assessment District costs. The Assessment against each parcel in the Assessment District is tabulated in Exhibit A, Assessment Roll.

TOTAL ASSESSMENT

The Total Assessment of the Assessment District is the total annual the cost of maintenance and repair of the water quality improvements and odor reducing measures, grant writing for odor reduction and water quality improvements, invasive vegetation removal and spraying, sediment EXHIBIT 1

removal or reduction, and erosion repair, which confer a special benefit to the assessed pr
operties. as estimated and tabulated in Exhibit B, Budget.

ASSESSMENT DIAGRAM

Each parcel in the Assessment District is assigned an Assessment Diagram Number, which is the current Assessors Parcel Number, as shown in Exhibit C, Assessment District Boundary Map and Assessment Diagram. Also, each parcel in the Assessment District is included in Exhibit A, Assessment Roll with its corresponding Assessor’s Parcel Number, Area, Assessment Benefit Factor, and Assessment.

CRITERIA TO SPREAD THE ASSESSMENT

Deriving the amount of the special benefits from the invasive aquatic vegetation removal and with grant funding better water quality and sediment removal and reduction is proposed on a factored per square foot of land area basis. The assessment is proposed to take into consideration the size of the parcel benefiting from the special assessment and the land use.

Utilizing each parcels proportional share of the annual costs based upon the parcels factored lot area divided by the total factored assessable area creates a directly proportional relationship between lot area and the special benefit received. The parcels as identified in the Assessment Diagram Exhibit A, identifies 4 tiers of parcels that will receive an area factor based on the tier they have been designated to have. The definition of the tiers are the following:

Tier 1: Open space parcels associated with Swenson Park and Golf Course that receive irrigation water from the waterway and partially benefit from reduced odors, and cleaner irrigation water. These parcels receive a 1/8 factor on their land area.

Tier 2: Multi-family residential parcels that front the waterway and receive a partial benefit from improved aesthetics, reduced odor, and cleaner water. These parcels receive a 1/3 factor on their land area.

Tier 3: Single family homes and commercial property receive a special benefit directly proportional to their land area with a factor of 1.0.

Tier 4: Parcels that fall within the district boundary that are for flood control or Reclamation EXHIBIT 1

1.docx
District purposes receive no special benefit and are therefore receive no assessment with a fa
ctor of zero (0).

The four tiers above are identified in Exhibit A as is the boundary of the assessment district.

Table 1 below documents the assessable parcels per tier within the proposed district boundary.

Table 1: Proposed Parcel Data
Tier Parcel Count Total Factored Parcel Area (SF)
1 3 1,239,156
2 3 111,172
3 183 3,820,115
4 9 0
Total 198 5,170,443

A parcel’s proportional share of the total special benefit is defined as the Area of the Parcel di
vided by the Total Factored Parcel Area of 5,122,752sf.

The total assessment is spread among the parcels in th e Assessment District in proportion to the incremental special benefit a parcel receives from the District and is calculated by the formula:
a = ( P / A ) x B
a = assessment against a parcel
p = Factored Parcel Area
A = Total Factored Parcel Area
B = Total Assessment Budget

DET

ERMINATION OF AREAS
The area of each Assessment District parcel is as shown in the Assessor’s Maps. It is determined that the areas shown in the Assessor’s Maps are generally consistent with the parcel areas.

Maximum Assessment
A cost of living adjustment factor for each fiscal year may be applied for the Assessment District. The maximum assessment amount for each fiscal year may be increased in an amount equal to the greater of: 1) three percent (3%); or 2) the percentage increase of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for 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. For each Fiscal Year, the maximum assessment is determined using the escalator of 3%. If it is determined appropriate, an amount that is less than the maximum assessment may be levied as the actual annual assessment.

Also, in keeping with the provisions of Article XIII D of the California Constitution, annual assessments established from the preceding fiscal year may not be increased above the cost of living adjustment factor approved herein without an election approval by the properties in the Assessment District.
