ADOPT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO CONTRACT NO. 419000674, PURSUANT TO THE SHASTA UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT, WITH UBEO WEST, LLC, FOR THE CONTINUATION OF A THREE (3) YEAR

LEASE, MAINTENANCE, AND SERVICE AGREEMENT FOR CANON COPY MACHINES

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

1. Approve the findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code Section 3.68.070 supporting an exception to the competitive bidding requirements to utilize the Shasta Union High School District (SUHSD) Master Enabling Agreement;

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute Contract Amendment No. 3 to Contract 419000674 with UBEO West, LLC for the continued lease, maintenance, and service of the City’s Canon copy machines for a term of up to three (3) years, in a total not-to-exceed amount of $489,220.00.

It is further recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to take all appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution.

Summary
The City currently leases Canon high-speed xerographic equipment used by Document Services to provide imaging, copying, printing, and scanning services that support City operations. The existing agreement with UBEO West, LLC, through the Shasta Union High School District (SUHSD) Master Enabling Agreement, expires on August 30, 2026, and will convert to a month-to-month lease (Attachment A).

Approval of Contract Amendment No. 3 will extend the lease, maintenance, and service agreement for an additional three (3) years, ensuring uninterrupted document production while continuing to utilize competitively procured cooperative pricing. Continuing the existing agreement provides the City with a cost-effective solution that avoids the expense and operational disruption associated with replacing equipment before the end of its useful life (Exhibit 1 to the Resolution).

DISCUSSION
Background
Document Services currently operates under a cooperative agreement with UBEO West, LLC through the SUHSD Master Enabling Agreement for the lease, maintenance, and service of Canon City of Stockton Printed on 8/14/2026Page 1 of 3

20 File #: 26-0894, Version: 1
high-speed copy machines. The cooperative purchasing agreement allows public agencies to utilize competitively solicited contracts, reducing procurement time and administrative costs while maintaining compliance with applicable purchasing requirements.

The current agreement expires on August 30, 2026. UBEO West, LLC has agreed to extend the lease, maintenance, and service agreement for an additional three (3) years under the existing cooperative purchasing agreement.

Present Situation
Document Services produces approximately 146,000 copies each month in support of City operations using the Canon high-speed black-and-white and color xerographic systems. These systems are essential to the timely production of a wide variety of official City documents, including:
• City Council agendas and staff reports
• Budget and financial documents
• Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports
• Public safety publications
• Human Resources materials
• Utility billing inserts
• Meeting agendas and supporting documentation for various boards and committees • Other operational and public information documents
The existing Canon equipment continues to operate reliably and meets the City's production requirements. Extending the current lease and maintenance agreement allows the City to continue receiving comprehensive maintenance, technical support, and equipment servicing while avoiding the higher costs of procuring replacement equipment and entering into a new lease.

Approval of this amendment will ensure uninterrupted document production services while maintaining a cost-effective and operationally efficient solution for the City.

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

1. The Shasta Union High School District (SUHSD) Master Enabling Agreement provides a competitively procured cooperative purchasing mechanism that allows participating public agencies to obtain goods and services under competitively established terms and conditions.

2. Utilization of the SUHSD Master Enabling Agreement is in the best interest of the City because it provides access to the required equipment, maintenance, and services without conducting a separate competitive procurement process.

3. The proposed procurement is consistent with the City's procurement requirements and applicable cooperative purchasing authority, and use of the SUHSD Master Enabling Agreement provides an efficient and cost-effective means of obtaining the required equipment and services.

4. The City Council previously reviewed and approved the SUHSD Master Enabling Agreement via Resolution No. 2016-05-24-1209 and 2021-04-27-1203.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The proposed amendment provides for an estimated annual cost of $53,333.33, for an estimated total of $160,000.00 over the three-year extension period.

The total not-to-exceed contract amount, inclusive of previous amendments and the proposed extension, will be $489,220.00.

Funding is available in the Office Equipment Internal Service Fund. Future funding will be appropriated through the City's annual budget process.

APPROVE A MOTION AUTHORIZING THE FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 LIBRARY VENDOR POOL

AND AGREEMENTS EXCEEDING CITY MANAGER AUTHORITY (CITYWIDE - ALL DISTRICTS)

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

1. Approve the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 Library Vendor Pool, as identified in Attachment A, establishing the approved vendors and anticipated annual expenditures for library print, digital, and electronic materials.

2. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute new agreements, renewals, amendments, contract change orders, purchase orders, and other purchasing documents necessary to procure library materials from the approved Vendor Pool during FY 2026-27.

3. Approve findings supporting an exception to the competitive bidding requirements of Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) Section 3.68.070.

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

Summary
The Community Services Department (CSD) Library Division requests approval of the FY 2026-27 Library Vendor Pool and authorization to procure library materials through the approved vendors identified in Attachment A. The Vendor Pool establishes the Library's anticipated annual purchasing plan for physical materials, digital content, databases, subscriptions, software, and related library resources needed to serve the Stockton-San Joaquin County Public Library System.

The City Council approved the FY 2026-27 budget on June 9, 2026, including approximately $2.02 million for library print and digital materials. The proposed Vendor Pool identifies anticipated expenditures by vendor and establishes the procurement framework staff will use throughout the fiscal year. While most purchases fall within the City Manager's delegated purchasing authority, five vendors are anticipated to exceed $100,000 in expenditures and, therefore, require specific City Council authorization.

Approval of the Vendor Pool provides transparency regarding anticipated library expenditures while allowing staff to efficiently purchase materials as community demand occurs.

DISCUSSION
Background
The Stockton-San Joaquin County Public Library System provides library services through multiple branches serving residents throughout the City of Stockton and San Joaquin County. To maintain current and relevant collections, the Library purchases physical books, audiovisual materials, electronic resources, digital collections, databases, subscriptions, and other specialized library materials throughout the year.

Unlike many City procurements, library materials are acquired through thousands of individual transactions from specialized vendors based on patron demand, collection development priorities, and publisher availability. Many electronic resources and digital lending platforms are proprietary products that are available only from a single vendor. As a result, traditional competitive bidding is not practical or beneficial for library collections.

Recognizing the unique nature of library acquisitions, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018- 06-19-1105 establishing a Library Vendor Pool and approving an exception to the competitive bidding process for library materials (Attachment G). The Vendor Pool provides an efficient procurement method while maintaining transparency and fiscal accountability.

Each year, following the adoption of the annual budget, Library staff prepare a Vendor Pool Purchase Plan that identifies anticipated expenditures for each vendor based on historical purchasing patterns, subscription renewals, collection priorities, and projected patron demand. The Vendor Pool serves as the administrative framework for library purchasing throughout the fiscal year and supports the routing of agreements, renewals, contract amendments, purchase orders, and contract change orders as needed.

Present Situation
On June 9, 2026, the City Council approved the FY 2026-27 budget, including approximately $2.02 million for library print and digital materials. Following budget adoption, Library staff prepared the FY 2026-27 Vendor Pool Purchase Plan, which establishes anticipated expenditures totaling approximately $1.84 million among approved vendors.

The Vendor Pool includes vendors providing:
· Physical books and library materials
· Digital books and audiobooks
· Streaming media
· Online learning platforms
· Research databases
· Magazine subscriptions
· Language learning resources
· Reference materials
· Collection processing services
· Other specialized library resources

Most purchases will remain within the City Manager's delegated purchasing authority and will be administered through the approved Vendor Pool process. However, based on anticipated purchasing activity during FY 2026-27, the following vendors are expected to exceed $100,000 in expenditures and therefore require specific City Council authorization:

Vendor Service FY 26-27 Amount
Brodart Company Physical Library Materials $300,000
Children’s Plus, Inc. Physical Library Materials $300,000 (Libraria)
Midwest Tape, LLC. Digital Library Materials $275,000
(Hoopla)
Ingram Library Services Physical Library Materials $200,000 OverDrive, Inc. Digital Library Materials $400,000
Vendor Pool agreements are typically established as Not-to-Exceed (NTE) agreements. Draft vendor agreements for contracts in excess of $100,000 are included as Attachments B-F. This procurement method allows purchases throughout the fiscal year as materials are ordered, rather than encumbering funds in advance. Funds are committed only when products or services are purchased, allowing the Library to respond to changing patron demand while maintaining appropriate fiscal controls.

Approval of the Vendor Pool will provide staff with an efficient procurement process for FY 2026-27 while ensuring the City maintains transparency regarding planned library expenditures. Approval of the identified agreements exceeding $100,000 will provide the additional authorization required under the City's purchasing authority.

Findings
Pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code Section 3.68.070, the City Council may approve findings supporting an exception to the competitive bidding process.

Staff finds that:

1. Library materials are specialized products acquired through publishers, distributors, licensors, and vendors serving the public library industry.

2. Many digital collections, databases, software platforms, and electronic resources are proprietary and available only from specific vendors, making competitive bidding impractical.

3. Library materials are purchased through a high volume of individual transactions throughout the fiscal year based on patron demand, collection development priorities, and publisher availability. Competitive bidding would not result in greater efficiency or cost savings.

90 File #: 26-0839, Version: 1

4. The Library Vendor Pool provides a transparent, flexible, and efficient procurement process that allows the Library to maintain current collections while ensuring purchases remain within Council-approved appropriations.

5. Approval of the FY 2026-27 Vendor Pool establishes anticipated annual purchasing authority for library materials while allowing individual purchases to occur as operational needs arise.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The City Council approved the FY 2026-27 Library Materials budget on June 9, 2026. The FY 2026- 27 Vendor Pool Purchase Plan identifies $1,843,089 in anticipated expenditures among approved vendors (Attachment A). These expenditures are included within the adopted budget and do not require additional appropriations.

The Vendor Pool establishes anticipated annual purchasing authority and does not obligate the City to expend the full amount identified for each vendor. Actual expenditures will occur only as library materials and services are ordered throughout the fiscal year and will remain within existing appropriations.

ATTACHMENT E
134

While other vendors demand payment from invoice date, Ingram’s terms are calculated on statement date at the end of each month. With payment due 30 days from statement date, the customer’s payment is due an average of 45 days from invoice (30-59 days). Ingram reserves the right to assess a late charge on all past due invoices.

Cataloging and Processing:

To simplify budgeting and to speed items through our facilities, Ingram offers bundled cataloging and processing services. With our tiered service levels, your library can easily estimate its yearly cataloging and processing costs and identify ways to save. Rather than charging for each item applied to a unit, all units on a designated account will be charged the same cataloging and processing fee. This speeds up the work in our processing units and lets the library reconcile charges with little effort. It also distributes cataloging costs across all Ingram’s cataloging customers more fairly and enables us to maintain lower fees.

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SUMMARY VACATION OF A PORTION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY

EASEMENTS ALONG EIGHT MILE ROAD AND HOLMAN ROAD

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

1. Approving the summary vacation of a portion of right-of-way easements along Eight Mile Road and Holman Road;

2. Authorizing the filing of a Notice of Exemption No. 06-26 under the California Environmental Quality Act for the vacation of a portion of right-of-way easements along Eight Mile Road and Holman Road.

3. Authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to take all the necessary and appropriate actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution.

Summary
The applicant, Holman Investors, LLC, is requesting the abandonment of right-of-way easements along the southeast and southwest corners of Eight Mile Road and Holman Road (APNs: 122-020- 18, 122-020-19, 122-020-32, 122-020-33) to allow for the reconfiguration of future right-of-way associated with a subdivision development. Fee title of the abandonment area is owned by Holman Investors, LLC (Attachment A - Vicinity Map and Attachment B - Aerial Map). There are no existing City utilities located within the proposed abandonment areas, and a future Public Utility Easement (PUE) will be reserved for PG&E facilities, alongside an updated right-of-way dedication.

DISCUSSION
Background
Holman Investors, LLC, owns the real property located along the southeast and southwest corners of Eight Mile Road and Holman Road. The right-of-way has not yet been constructed, and abandoning the right-of-way easements will enable the final buildout of Cannery Park, Unit No. 1. The proposed abandonment areas contain approximately 1.1 acres.

Present Situation
The Public Works, Community Development, Municipal Utilities, Police, and Fire Departments, and local utilities were notified of the proposed vacation at this site, and no objections were received.

Staff were notified by PG&E that the abandonment areas contain segments of electric and gas City of Stockton Printed on 8/14/2026Page 1 of 2

distribution facilities. A subsequent PUE will be recorded by the City to cover the PG&E facility segments that are within the abandonment areas. In addition, a right-of-way dedication will be recorded for the new location of the future roadway.

The City may perform this proposed abandonment as a summary vacation under Division 9, Part 3, section 8331 & 8334(a), of the California Streets and Highway Code. Pursuant to section 8331, a public hearing is not required when a street or highway has been impassable for vehicular travel for at least five consecutive years and no public money was expended for maintenance on the street or highway during such period. Additionally, pursuant to section 8334(a), excess right-of-way of a street that is not required for street or highway purposes may be summarily vacated. The proposed vacation conforms with California Streets and Highway Code Section 8331, 8334(a), and 8335(a), in that the area has been impassable for vehicular travel for five consecutive years, no City funds have been spent for maintenance on the vacation areas, and the excess right-of-way may be summarily vacated if not required for street and highway purposes.

The Public Works and the Community Development Department concur with the proposed vacation of these portions of right-of-way easements located along the southeast and southwest corners of Eight Mile Road and Holman Road.

It is recommended that the City Council approve the proposed resolution vacating approximately 1.1 acres of City right-of-way easements along Eight Mile Road and Holman Road as described in Exhibit 1 and depicted in Exhibit 2 to the Resolution.

ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE
It has been determined by the Community Development Department that this project is Categorically Exempt under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines and is granted a “general rule exemption” under section 15061(b)(3) since there is no possibility that the activity in question would have significant effect on the environment and the activity is not subject to CEQA. The project is also not subject to any of the exceptions to the use of a Categorical Exemption listed in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2.

In accordance with section 65402 of the Government Code, it has been determined that this project or action conforms to the City’s General Plan designation for the site and with the General Plan Policy Document, as amended.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The applicant, Holman Investors, LLC, has paid the necessary fee to process the right-of-way abandonment. There is no negative financial impact to the City’s General Fund.

The Community Development D epartment received a request to review the above-referenced project for conformity with the Stockton General Plan and make an environmental determination pursuant to the Califor
nia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City of Stockton’s Economic Development Department received a request from Holman Investors LLC to abandon right-of- way at Eight Mile Road and Homan Road (APNs 122-020-18, -19, -32 and -33). Please see the attached for more information.

In accordance with Government Code §65402, the Community Development Department determines the proposed dedication of land is neutral in regard to conformity with the Stockton General Plan. Future development of the subject parcels shall be under the jurisdiction of the City of Stockton.

Concerning the California Envi ronmental Quality Act (CEQA) determination, the Community Development Department concludes that the dedication of land is covered by the common sense exemption in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3 ), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that t he activity in question (dedication of land) may have a significant effect on the environment. The proj ect is also not subject to any exceptions to the use of a Categorical Exemption listed at CEQA Guidelines §15300.2.

Upon approval by City Council and per SB 69, the Economic Developm ent Department is required to file the attached Notice of Exemption with the San Joaquin County Clerk’s Office to initiate a 35-day statute of limitations on court challenges.

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

1. Approving the summary vacation of a portion of right-of-way along Arch Road and South 99 Frontage Road;

There are no existing City utilities located within the proposed abandonment area.

DISCUSSION
Background
Friedrich Enterprises LP owns the real property located adjacent to the proposed right-of-way abandonment area at 4965 South 99 Frontage Road (APN: 179-310-07) and 4943 South 99 Frontage Road (APN: 179-310-01). The proposed abandonment area contains approximately 3.18 acres. The City of Stockton accepted an Irrevocable Offer of Dedication from the fee title property owner, recorded on July 1, 1992, for the future State Highway 99/Arch Road widening. The right-of- way easement is no longer needed, and the proposed vacation will allow for the adjoining property owner to eliminate blighted conditions and explore potential development opportunities.

Present Situation
The Public Works, Community Development, Municipal Utilities, Police, and Fire Departments, and local utilities were notified of the proposed vacation at this site, and no objections were received.

However, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) requested that a public utility easement be reserved in the proposed abandonment area. The proposed resolution includes a reservation of a public utility easement within the abandonment area.

The City may perform this proposed abandonment as a summary vacation under Division 9, Part 3, section 8331 & 8334(a), of the California Streets and Highway Code. Pursuant to section 8331, a public hearing is not required when a street or highway has been impassable for vehicular travel for at least five consecutive years and no public money was expended for maintenance on the street or highway during such period. Additionally, pursuant to section 8334(a), excess right-of-way of a street that is not required for street or highway purposes may be summarily vacated. The proposed vacation conforms with California Streets and Highway Code Section 8331 & 8334(a), in that the area has been impassable for vehicular travel for five consecutive years, no City funds have been spent for maintenance on the vacation areas, and the excess right-of-way may be summarily vacated if not required for street and highway purposes.

The Public Works and the Community Development Department concur with the proposed vacation of this right-of-way easement located on Arch Road between the Highway 99 offramp and South 99 Frontage Road.

It is recommended that the City Council approve the proposed resolution vacating approximately 3.18 acres of City right-of-way, as described in Exhibit 1 and shown in Exhibit 2 to the Resolution.

ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE
It has been determined by the Community Development Department that this project is Categorically Exempt under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines and is granted a “Common Sense Exemption” under Section 15061(b)(3) since there is no possibility that the activity in question would have significant effect on the environment and the activity is not subject to CEQA. The project is also not subject to any of the exceptions to the use of a Categorical Exemption listed in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2.

In accordance with Section 65402 of the Government Code, it has been determined that this project or action conforms to the City’s General Plan designation for the site and with the General Plan Policy Document, as amended.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
As of the writing of this staff report, the applicant, Friedrich Enterprises LP, has not yet paid the necessary fee to process the right-of-way abandonment. If approved by Council, payment of the abandonment will be required prior to recording of the certified Resolution. There is no negative financial impact to the City’s General Fund.

APPROVE A MOTION AUTHORIZING A FIVE-YEAR DISPATCH SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH

THE SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY JOINT RADIO USERS GROUP AND ALLOCATING ONE

ADDITIONAL FIRE BATTALION CHIEF - ADMIN TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT GENERAL FUND

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

1. Approve a five-year Agreement for the City of Stockton to provide dispatch services to the San Joaquin County Joint Radio Users Group (JRUG); and

2. Allocate one (1) additional Fire Battalion Chief - Admin position to the Fire Department General Fund; and

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

Summary
The Stockton Regional Emergency Communications Center continues to expand its role as the regional provider of fire, emergency medical, and ambulance dispatch services throughout San Joaquin County. The proposed Agreement (Attachment A) establishes dispatch services for participating San Joaquin County Joint Radio Users Group agencies and is anticipated to generate approximately $602,375 in annual revenue. Staff also recommend allocating one additional Administrative Fire Battalion Chief position to the Fire Department General Fund to provide additional support to the Special Services Bureau.

DISCUSSION
Background
The San Joaquin County Joint Radio Users Group (JRUG) is a Joint Powers Authority whose members include fire departments, fire protection districts, and emergency ambulance providers throughout San Joaquin County. The members include Escalon Community Ambulance, Manteca District Ambulance, Ripon Consolidated Fire District, Clements Fire District, Collegeville Fire District, Escalon Consolidated Fire District, Farmington Rural Fire District, French Camp-McKinley Fire District, Liberty Fire District, Linden-Peters Fire District, Mokelumne Rural Fire Protection District, Montezuma Fire District, Mountain House Community Services District, Thornton Fire District, and Waterloo Morada Fire District.

File #: 26-0852, Version: 1
Following San Joaquin County's award of the Exclusive Operating Area (EOA) Zones X and Y ambulance contract to the CENCAL Fire and EMS Authority, CENCAL entered into an agreement with the City of Stockton to provide emergency ambulance dispatch services. Because San Joaquin County requires all contracted emergency ambulance providers to be dispatched from the same communications center, Manteca District Ambulance, Ripon Consolidated Fire District, and Escalon Community Ambulance must transition from the Valley Regional Emergency Communications Center (VRECC) to the Stockton Regional Emergency Communications Center. Rather than separating those ambulance providers from the remaining JRUG member agencies, which currently receive dispatch services through VRECC, JRUG elected to transition its participating member agencies to the Stockton Regional Emergency Communications Center under a single agreement.

Present Situation
Under the proposed Agreement, the Stockton Regional Emergency Communications Center will provide twenty-four-hour fire dispatch, emergency medical dispatch, and emergency ambulance dispatch services for participating JRUG agencies. These services include emergency call processing, resource assignment and dispatch, emergency medical instructions, incident communications, coordination of mutual aid and automatic aid resources, and operational reporting.

Approval of the Agreement will establish the Stockton Regional Emergency Communications Center as the sole provider of fire and emergency ambulance dispatch services within San Joaquin County.

The Center currently dispatches the Stockton Fire Department, Lodi Fire Department, South San Joaquin County Fire Authority, Manteca Fire Department, Lathrop-Manteca Fire Protection District, and emergency ambulances operating under the CENCAL Fire and EMS Authority. With the addition of the participating JRUG agencies, all fire departments and emergency ambulance providers in the County will be dispatched through a single communications center.

This countywide model provides a level of coordination that cannot be achieved when agencies are divided among separate dispatch centers. Dispatchers will have direct visibility of available fire and ambulance resources throughout the County and will be able to coordinate responses across jurisdictional boundaries without transferring information between communications centers. This is particularly important during structure fires, vegetation fires, mass-casualty incidents, major traffic collisions, and other emergencies that require resources from multiple agencies.

A single communications center also supports consistent dispatch procedures, more efficient mutual aid and automatic aid coordination, shared situational awareness, and faster deployment of the most appropriate available resources. For the community, the result is a more coordinated emergency response system in which agency boundaries are less likely to delay the exchange of information or the movement of critical resources.

Additional Position
The establishment of the CENCAL Fire and EMS Authority led to the reassignment of the former Administrative Fire Battalion Chief, previously responsible for the Department's Emergency Medical Services Division, to serve as the Authority's Executive Director. The CENCAL partnership has expanded the Department's leadership role in emergency medical services across San Joaquin County; however, it has left the Department with only one Administrative Battalion Chief to support three Deputy Fire Chiefs, each of whom oversees an entire Bureau - Fire Prevention, Operations, City of Stockton Printed on 8/14/2026Page 2 of 3

180
File #: 26-0852, Version: 1
and Special Services - within the Department. This restructuring is necessary to ensure each Bureau receives adequate administrative support, thereby improving operational efficiency and oversight across critical functions such as dispatch, facilities maintenance, and employee health and wellness.

Currently, one Administrative Battalion Chief is assigned to the Training Division and reports directly to the Deputy Chief of Operations, while the former EMS Chief, now serving as Administrative Director of CENCAL, reports directly to the Fire Chief. Approval of the proposed allocation will allow for the re-establishment of a second Administrative Fire Battalion Chief, who will assist the Special Services Bureau and report directly to the Deputy Chief of Special Services. The Special Services Bureau manages the 911 dispatch center; Fire Department facilities and equipment; capital improvement projects; evaluation and implementation of new technology; employee health and wellness programs; and special projects as assigned. The second Administrative Fire Battalion Chief will provide targeted administrative support, enhancing the effectiveness and reach of the Special Services Bureau.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The Agreement is anticipated to generate approximately $602,375 in annual revenue to the Fire Department General Fund - Emergency Communications Division subfund. The additional revenue will allow the department to reduce its General Fund support for this division by $602,375 and reallocate this funding to the Special Services Bureau in order to support establishing the recommended Administrative Fire Battalion Chief. The cost of this position, including salary and benefits, is approximately $592,721.

AND THE WATER SUPERVISORY UNIT

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt by resolution the attached successor Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Water Supervisory Unit effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029.

Summary
In March 2026, City representatives began negotiations with the Water Supervisory Unit for a successor MOU, as the contract was set to expire on June 30, 2026. Following a series of bargaining sessions, the City and the Water Supervisory Unit successfully reached an agreement on the terms of a successor MOU. The proposed successor MOU includes a three-year term and provides for cost -of-living and market salary adjustments, the addition of salary steps to the bargaining unit salary schedule, increased City contributions toward health insurance premiums, and cleanup language.

The successor MOU for Water Supervisory Unit is intended to ensure that the City maintains a competitive compensation structure that supports the recruitment and retention of qualified employees while promoting internal equity and fiscal responsibility.

DISCUSSION

6. Safety Protective Footwear. Offers a fifty dollar ($50) increase for eligible employees, increasing payment from two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) to three hundred dollars ($300.00) per fiscal year (MOU Section 12.4).

7. Vacation Sellback. Allows a vacation cash payment option/sell-back of up to thirty (30) hours of vacation each calendar year (MOU Section 8).

8. Vacation Accrual. Converts vacation accrual amounts from annual to per pay period amounts.

File #: 26-0883, Version: 1
referring to the pay structure of employees who are not regularly scheduled to work holidays (MOU Section 10).

File #: 26-0870, Version: 1

APPROVE MOTION TO EXECUTE AN AMENDMENT TO THE TWO-YEAR AGREEMENT WITH

FORENSIC ANALYTICAL CRIME LAB FOR GRANT AWARD MODIFICATION IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $13,094.09.

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

1. Approve findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) §3.68.070 support of an exception to the competitive bidding process; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to approve Standard Agreement Amendment No. 3 with Forensic Analytical Crime Lab (FACL) to provide the Stockton Police Department (SPD) with the additional funding from the Grant Award Modification in an amount not to exceed $13,094.09; and
It is further recommended that the City Manager be authorized and directed to make any and all expenditures and appropriations on behalf of the city as appropriate and necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of this motion.

Summary
SPD seeks to continue the contract with Forensic Analytical Crime Lab by working with the Forensic Consultant, Firearms Examiner. This service will continue to streamline the test-firing process, reducing the time required to obtain confirmation from the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN). The SPD applied for the 2022 Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs (OJP) Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Crime Gun Intelligence Center Integration Initiative Grant (CGIC). On November 15, 2022, by Resolution 2022-11-15-1209, SPD was awarded the CGIC Grant in the amount of $700,000 to address firearms-related crime and forensics by establishing Crime Gun Intelligence Centers. Grant funds are also used for bullet casing analysis and court testimony. The initial agreement term maximum not-to-exceed amount was $209,879. With the additional $13,094.09 to extend the term, the maximum not-to-exceed amount will be $222,973.09.

DISCUSSION
Background
SPD previously contracted with a Firearms examiner for forensic services from June 2013 to December 2021 through Federal Justice Assistant Grant (JAG) funding. The cost of these services was originally funded through the JAG program Firearms Reduction Consortium (FRC). The intent of the FRC was to combine resources county-wide to reduce firearms violence. One of the City of Stockton Printed on 8/14/2026Page 1 of 2

318
File #: 26-0870, Version: 1
recommendations from the FRC was to establish a Firearms Examination Unit to process the significant number of bullets and casings found at crime scenes. Multiple attempts were made to hire full-time examiners, but qualified examiners work on a contract basis due to the higher market rate compensation. With the newly awarded CGIC Grant funds, the City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) on September 21, 2023, requesting proposals for a two-year agreement with the City for Firearms Examiner services, which was also advertised in the Record and posted on the City’s Bid Flash website. A six-month contract was executed on October 1, 2023, with Forensic Analytical Crime Lab to meet the CGIC Grant goals and objectives.

Present Situation
No proposals were received during the City’s RFP process. Staff recommended awarding the current contractor, Forensic Analytical Crime Lab, a two-year agreement with three additional one-year options to extend, in accordance with the City’s approved General Procurement Policy 17.05.010, Section G-6, and the Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) Section 3.68.070, supporting the exceptions to competitive bidding requirements. To continue utilizing the Forensic Analytical Crime Lab, additional funding is needed to continue the process of examination of the numerous bullets and casings found at crime scenes. SPD is asking for the additional $13,094.09 in Amendment 3 from the Grant Award Modification to continue the service with the Forensic Analytical Crime Lab.

Findings

1. A Forensic Consultant Firearms Examiner is necessary to streamline the test-firing process to expedite confirmation of NIBIN leads, court write-ups, and prosecution of gun crimes.

2. Use of the funds here is warranted based on the Grant Award Modification. (15PBJA-22-GG- 01760-MUMU)

3. The extension of this contract will allow SPD to continue handling the numerous cases of crime scenes and bullet casings without interruption.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The total proposed cost (Attachment A) is $13,094.09. These funds will be provided from the Grant Award Modification (Attachment B).

Additional Narrative
The software will contribute long term to CGIC by reducing gun violence and increasing the solvability of cases. It is a comprehensive analytical platform for the investigation into cell phone records, social media returns, and any other database containing temporal and GPS data. This platform would allow Crime Analysts to rapidly process data from the warrants, allowing for, among many other benefits:

The placement of devices within or at the scene of a crime.

The identification of suspects/associates, often masked by obscure social media usernames and unknown phone numbers Linking of suspects/associates across multiple investigations, over many years Rapid isolation of keywords, slang, and criminal identifiers throughout text, chats, and posts Identification of unknown locations, stash houses, and crime scenes The need for swift investigation would greatly decrease the odds of suspect escape and/or discarding of important evidence, including firearms identified through CGIC ballistic testing.

For guidance, see DOJ Financial Guide Chapter 3.11 on “Indirect Costs”  "BudgetModification" Justification
The funds allocated to the San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office (DA) have not been utilized to maintain the 20% minimum requirement of the grant, primarily due to staffing changes and hiring delays. Difficulties in recruiting and onboarding a Crime Analyst have slowed the program’s progress.

The DA’s office is continuing to make efforts to expend the cost of a Crime Analyst that is focusing on tracking, prioritizing, and prosecuting gun crimes.

The DA has agreed to reallocation from funding back to the Stockton Police Department (SPD) to repurpose within the program. SPD will purchase Penlink Software and Firearms Examiner to align with the programmatic goals.

ADOPT RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE LOCAL STREET RESURFACING PROGRAM FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 SB1 - PAVEMENT REPAIR PROJECT (ALL DISTRICTS - CITYWIDE)

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

1. Approve Notice of Exemption No. NOE15-26 under the California Environmental Quality Act for the Local Street Resurfacing Program Fiscal Year 2025-26 SB1 - Pavement Repair, Project No. WD26003.

2. Approve the plans and specifications for the Local Street Resurfacing Program Fiscal Year 2025-26 SB1 - Pavement Repair, Project No. WD26003.

3. Award a Construction Contract in the amount of $198,397 to Spektren Engineering, Inc. of Gilroy, CA, for the Local Street Resurfacing Program Fiscal Year 2025-26 SB1 - Pavement Repair, Project No. WD26003.

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 City is responsible for maintaining 781 centerline miles of streets. The project will repair failed pavement at approximately 26 residential and collector roadway segments Citywide (Attachments A and B). Pavement repair involves the removal of failed pavement, applying tack coat oil to the edges to ensure a bond between pavement layers, and placing new hot mix asphalt. The project was included in the 2025-30 Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).

On April 30, 2026, the City received seven bids for this project. It is recommended that Council award a Construction Contract to the lowest responsive bidder, Spektren Engineering, Inc., in the amount of $198,397. It is also recommended that Council adopt a resolution approving Notice of Exemption No. NOE15-26 under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and approving the plans and specifications for the project. Construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2026 and be completed in fall 2026, weather permitting.

DISCUSSION
Background
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (SB1), known as the Road Repair and City of Stockton Printed on 8/14/2026Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
342
File #: 26-0723, Version: 1
Accountability Act of 2017. SB1 funding provides for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on both the State highway and local streets and road systems. The California Transportation Commission (CTC) is responsible for oversight of funding and/or programs created with the approval of SB1.

SB1 provides funding for the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) Program. Other programs include the Local Partnership Program, the Active Transportation Program, State Highway Operation and Protection Program, and Local Streets and Roads Program. The RMRA funding is part of the City’s overall Gas Tax allocation; however, RMRA funds can only be expended on projects that meet eligibility criteria and have been approved by the CTC. RMRA funds are accounted for and reported separately from regular Gas Tax funds.

Approximately $8.4 million in SB1 RMRA Program funding was allocated to the City for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 and approved by Council on April 1, 2025, by Resolution No. 2025-04-01-1215. The project list was subsequently approved by the CTC and provides for multiple resurfacing projects that may consist of slurry sealing, micro-surfacing, cape seal, and/or an asphalt overlay. These projects are all being delivered separately based on the type of resurfacing treatment. A cost-effective method of maintaining streets is to provide treatment for streets that are in fair to good condition.

The preservation of streets in this condition is critical, as rehabilitation costs rise exponentially as pavement deteriorates.

The Local Street Resurfacing Program FY 2025-26 SB1 - Pavement Repair, Project No. WD26003, was included in the 2025-30 Five-Year CIP. The project will repair failed pavement at approximately 26 residential and collector roadway segments Citywide (Attachments A and B). Pavement repair involves the removal of failed pavement, applying tack coat oil to the edges to ensure a bond between pavement layers, and placing new hot mix asphalt. The process includes traffic control and installing temporary traffic striping. This treatment, combined with future pavement resurfacing, will extend the roadway’s life expectancy.

The list of roads for this project was developed from the City of Stockton Pavement Management System. The system analyzes variables such as current pavement conditions and projected traffic load to forecast how roadway segments will decline over time. The forecasts are used to evaluate the cost and benefit of repair options and identify the optimal pavement resurfacing plan. Roadways with a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ranging between 65 and 80 are suitable for this treatment.

The City’s Pavement Management System identified these roadway segments to have a PCI range between 65 and 80. This treatment extends the life span by a minimum of five years.

On July 26, 2016, Council adopted a Community Workforce and Training Agreement (CWTA). The CWTA became effective August 25, 2016, and applies to all Public Works projects over $1 million that are bid after that date. On July 16, 2019, by Motion No. 2019-07-16-1403, Council extended the CWTA term to August 25, 2024. On August 20, 2024, by Motion No. 2024-08-20-1203, Council extended the CWTA term to August 25, 2029. The CWTA was not applied to this project as the estimated construction cost was less than $1 million.

Present Situation
On April 8, 2026, the Local Street Resurfacing Program FY 2025-26 SB1 - Pavement Repair, Project No. WD26003, was advertised for bids.
