Agenda Item 1.F
REQUEST
Staff r
ecommends that the City Council adopt a resolution: (1) Approving a General Services Agreement with Sweeping Corp of America, LLC to provide street, alley, and parking lot sweeping services for an initial term of two (2) years and a total not to exceed amount $859,100 annually; (2) Authorizing the City Manager to execute the General Services Agreement, extensions up to five (5) years, and amendments to the Agreement; and (3) Appropriating $46,000 from the Solid Waste Fund (F531) to fund the Agreement for fiscal year 2023.
EXECUTIV
E SUMMARY
The Operations D
ivision is requesting Tracy City Council approval of a General Services Agreement to provide street, alley, and parking lot sweeping within the City of Tracy for a not-to- exceed annual amount of $859,100 with Sweeping Corp of America, LLC (“SCA”). Street sweeping services are needed to keep City streets clean and assist with storm water quality.
BACKGR
OUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
Street sweepi
ng services are performed throughout the City to maintain clean streets, alleys, and parking lots, and reduce debris entering the City’s storm drain system. The City of Tracy currently has an estimated 12,807 curb miles for streets and alleys and 770,628 parking lot square feet. Sweeping is completed every two weeks on all City streets, except for the downtown business district, which is swept twice a week. Select City paved alleys and parking lots are swept monthly.
The City cur
rently contracts with SCA for street sweeping services. The current contract expired on January 31, 2023. Staff issued a “Notice Inviting Bids” for street sweeping services in preparation of the end of the contract. The notice was published on December 6, 2022. One bid was received on January 9, 2023. SCA was the only responsive bidder.
ANALYSIS
The agreement incl
udes an annual not-to-exceed amount of $859,100. The annual not-to- exceed amount considers capacity for additional curb miles to be added during the life of this contract, a seven-year contract if all extensions are executed, extra scheduled work, emergency services and an estimated amount for vehicle posting notices. The annual amount for the first two years is $741,000. $691,000 is for sweeping and any additional call outs; estimated $50,000 for any additional City Council acceptance of new streets and a possible vehicle notice posting program.
Staff has taken
into consideration a possible pilot project for vehicle noticing prior to sweeping days. Note: to enact a street sweeping posting program, additional discussions with other City departments and City Council will need to occur.
Also inc
luded in the overall annual amount is the option for the vendor to request an annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) rate increase each year after the initial two years of the agreement.
Agenda Item 1.F
February 21, 2023
Any such increase shall not exceed 5% and is based on the CPI for Urban Wage Earners for Sacramento Area as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
This increase is an optional request and approved by the City in its sole discretion.
FISCAL IMPACT
An additional appropriation of $46,000 from the Solid Waste Fund (F531) is needed to fund the new contract through June 30, 2023.
STRATEGIC PLAN
Thi
s is a routine operational item and is not related to one of the City Council’s Strategic Plans.
ACTION REQUESTED OF THE CITY COUNCIL
Staff recommends that the City Counci l adopt a resolution: (1) Approving a General Services Agreement with Sweeping Corp of America, LLC to provide street, alley, and parking lot sweeping services for an initial term of two (2) years and a total not to exceed amount $859,100 annual
ly; (2) Authorizing the City Manager to ex ecute the General Services Agreement, ex
tensions up to five (5) year s, and amendments to the Agreement; and (3) Appropriating $46,000 from the Solid Waste Fund (F531) to fund the Agreement for fiscal year 2023.

Agenda Item 1.G
RECOMMENDATIO
N
Adopt a resolution declaring the intention to reimburse expenditures from proceeds of tax-exempt obligations to be issued by the City for and on behalf of City of Tracy Community Facilities District No. 2016-2 (ECFD).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Federal tax law allows the City to use proceeds of tax-exempt debt to reimburse expenditures on capital projects that are made prior to issuance of the debt if the City has declared its intention to make such reimbursements. After consulting with bond counsel (Jones Hall, A Professional Law Corporation), staff recommends that the City make such a reimbursement declaration with respect to City of Tracy Community Facilities District No. 2016-2 (ECFD).
BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
The City Council previously conducted proceedings under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of
1982, as amended, to establish City of Tracy Community Facilities District No. 2016-2 (ECFD) (t
he “CFD”), an initial improvement area (Improvement Area No. 1) and a related future annexation area. The purpose of the CFD is to provide financing for capital facilities related to the Ellis project being developed by Surland Communities LLC (the “Facilities”), including through the issuance of federally tax-exempt bonds by the City for the CFD. In most cases, the bonds will finance the City’s acquisition of Facilities built by the Ellis developers, but sometimes the bonds will finance development impact fees to be used by the City or another public agency to construct
the Facilities.
The purpose of the future annexation area and the improvement areas is to establish a streamlined process whereby future phases of the Ellis project can annex into the CFD as they are ready to develop and, as a result, increase the bonding capacity of the CFD. Since the original formation, property in the future annexation area has annexed into the CFD as two additional improvement areas (Improvement Area No. 2 and Improvement Area No. 3) and staff anticipates an additional annexation into Improvement Area No. 4 in the near future.
The City previously issued bonds for the CFD with respect to Improvement Area No. 2 to finance Facilities, and staff anticipates seeking City Council approval for a bond financing for Improvement Area No. 3 in the near future.
Federal tax law allows the City to use proceeds of tax-exempt debt to reimburse expenditures on Facilities that are made prior to issuance of the debt if the City has declared its intention to make such reimbursements.
Staff recommends that the City declare the intention to reimburse itself or other public agencies, including the Jefferson School District, with tax-exempt bond proceeds for amounts expended on the Facilities prior to issuance of such bonds. Surland Communities LLC has asked the City to finance development impact fees (or mitigation payments) that the developer will pay to the Jefferson School District for construction of school facilities. Staff expects to ask Agenda Item 1.G
February 21, 2023
the City Council in the near future to approve an agreement among the City, the Jefferson School Dis
trict and Surland Communities LLC that will govern the financing of these development impact fees, including the reimbursement of prior expenditures made by Jefferson School District.
STRATEGIC
PLAN
This agenda item indirectly supports Council’s Strategic Priority of Quality of Life by providing necessary infrastructure and also supports City’s Economic Development efforts to provide facilities for attracting new developments.
FISCAL IMPACT
This resolution will have no fiscal impact on the City because it does not commit the City to issue bonds, and if the City does issue bonds for the CFD, the bonds will be payable only from special taxes levied in the CFD.
ACTION REQUESTED OF THE CITY COUNCIL
The City Council adopt a resolution declaring the intention to reimburse expenditures from proceeds of tax-exempt obligations to be issued by the City for and on behalf of City of Tracy Community Facilities District No. 2016-2 (ECFD).

Agenda Item 1.I
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution amending the City’s Operating and Capital Budget for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2023, and authorize the Budget Officer to amend the City’s position control roster for FY2022-23.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On June 24, 2022, Council adopted the Fiscal Year ( FY) 2022-23 Operating and Capital Budget. This report provides an upda te of the City’s current financial performance, for Second Quarter (Q2), through December 31, 2022. This financial summary identifies Q2 G
eneral Fund revenue and expenditure actuals and encumbrances, minor am endments to the FY 2022-23 budget.
BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
Quarterly, staff prepares a report to the City Council on the year-to-date revenues and expenditures as compared to the amended budget. This report provides an updat e and summary of t he City’s current financial per formance, for FY 2022-23 Second Quarter (Q2) through December 31, 2 022, and requests that Council amend revenue and expenditures for the FY 2022-23 budget.
ANALYSIS
As of December 31, 202 2, the General Fund expenditures are approximately 39% of the approved operating budget. General Fund revenues collected in Q2 (as of December 31, 202
2), reflect approximately 28% of estimated revenues. City revenues tend to lag a quarter behind, and many revenues will appear low or zero as a result. For example, General Fund revenues in Property Tax, as well as VLF/Property Tax, are distributed in December and April and will appear in the second and fourth quarter reports. The City’s Sales Tax are one-quarter in arrears and will appear after the second quarter, and first quar
ter collections represent advances from the State based on prior year collections, not necessarily actual collection by t he State. General Fund revenues in Franchise Fees and Business
Licensees are typically reported in the third and fourth quarter of the fiscal calendar.
The chart below reviews year-to-date revenues and expenditures as compared to the amended budget as of December 31, 2022 (Second Quarter-Q2). For comparison, FY 2021-22 Q2
actuals are also provided.

RECOMMENDATION
Staf
f recommends that the City Council:
1. Conduct a hearing on the Resolutions of Necessity (RON) to authorize the acquisition of fee simple interests, permanent easements and/or temporary construction easements for the I-580/Patterson Road Interchange Project (Project) and to make the required findings for five properties owned by and located at:
1. ARP Minimart Corporation – 25775 Patterson Pass Road (Assessor’s Parcel Number 209-100-040) (Minimart).
2. Debra Ann Leal & Janice Lynn Gee – 26116 Patterson Pass Road (Assessor’s Parcel Number 209-090-21) (Leal/Gee).
3. Harminder Kaur; Rajwinder Kaur; Gupreet Singh; Charnit Singh and Ramandeep Kaur, Trustees – 25883 S. Patterson Pass Road (Assessor’s Parcel Number 209-100-280) (Kaur et al).
4. Pankaj Kalra and Tanu Kalra, Trustees; Kanwar Raj Singh and Priya Aggarwal, Trustees; Smile Dhir and Antima Ghai, Trustees; Atul Arora and Shefali Arora, Trustees; Tabir Singh Dhillon- 26106 Patterson Pass Road (Assessor’s Parcel Number 209-100-300) (Kalra et al).
5. Jet Mulch, Inc. – Via Nicolo Road (Assessor’s Parcel Number 209- 100-310) (Jet Mulch).
2. Adopt RONs for Minimart, Leal/Gee, Kaur et al, Kalra et al, and Jet Mulch, finding that the Public Interest, Convenience and Necessity require the Acquisition of Certain Property Interests for the Project, Authorizing the Acquisition Thereof, and directing the City Attorney to file Eminent Domain Proceedings.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Cit
y of Tracy (City), in partnership with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), has completed designs for improvements at the Interstate 580 (I-580)/Patterson Pass Road Interchange (Project). The Project will construct a new interchange, freeway auxiliary lanes, and connecting roadways at the existing Patterson Pass Road/International Parkway overcrossing on I-580. In order to complete construction of the interchange, acquisition of fee simple interests, permanent easements, and temporary construction easements are needed from the properties listed above. The total project cost (including right-of-way, construction, and support) is approximately $52.3 Million and will be funded through a combination of City Transportation Impact Fee (TIMF) funds, City Regional Transportation Impact Fee (RTIF) funds, Measure K, and SB1 Trade Corridor Enhancement Program (TCEP) funding. The SB1 TCEP funding totals $24.9 Million, which needs to be obligated by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) at their June 2023 meeting. Should funding not be obligated by the June CTC meeting, the City could lose the TCEP grant funding.
Based
on the timing of the Project and critical right-of-way certification, it is necessary for the City of Tracy to consider the adoption of Resolutions of Necessity (RON) authorizing the City to acquire, by eminent domain, the property interests needed for public use, namely for public street and state highway purposes, public utility, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in Agenda Item 3.A
February 21, 2023
connection with the Project.
Pri
or to initiating condemnation proceedings to acquire needed right-of-way for a programmed project, the City Council must first adopt Resolutions of Necessity in which they declare that they have made the specific findings identified under Section 1245.230 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
This
staff report is submitted for review by the City Council prior to the recommended adoption of the proposed and attached Resolutions of Necessity (RONs) for Minimart, Leal/Gee, Kaur et al, Kalra et al, and Jet Mulch, to authorize the acquisition, by eminent domain, of certain property interests from such five (5) properties for the Project. As set forth below, the Project proposes to construct a new interchange, auxiliary lanes, and connecting roadways at the I- 580/International Parkway Interchange to reduce traffic and increase safety.
The proper
ty interests required for the Project are located within the area the Project will be constructed. For each property from which property interests are required for the Project, a Resolution of Necessity (RON) must be adopted prior to the commencement of eminent domain proceedings pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.220. The statutory requirement that a public entity adopt a RON before initiating a condemnation action “is designed to ensure that public entities will verify and confirm the validity of their intended use of the power of eminent domain prior to the application of that power in any one particular instance”. (San Bernardino Flood Control Dist. v. Grabowski (1988) 205 Cal.App.3d 885, 897).
A RON m
ust contain a general statement of the public uses for which the property is to be taken, a reference to the statute authorizing the exercise of eminent domain, a description of the property, and a declaration stating that each of the following have been found and determined by the City Council (Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.230):
1. The publi
c interest and necessity require the proposed project;
2. The proposed project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury;
3. The property described in the resolution is necessary for the proposed project; and
4. That either the offer required by Section 7267.2 of the Government Code has been made to the owner(s) of record or the offer has not been made because the owner cannot be located with reasonable diligence.
In addit
ion, to the extent the property interests that are proposed to be acquired are already devoted to a public use, the RON must include a finding that the use of the property interests sought to be acquired for the Project are a compatible use that will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use as it presently exists or may reasonably be expected to exist in the future (California Code of Civil Procedure section 1240.510) or the use of the property interests sought to be acquired for the Project is a more necessary public use than is the presently existing public use (California Code of Civil Procedure section 1240.610).
The RONs shoul
d also confirm that the requirements under CEQA have been satisfied for the Project that the City has complied with the notice requirements set forth in Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.235, and that all conditions and statutory requirements to exercise the power of eminent domain to acquire the properties described in the resolutions of necessity Agenda Item 3.A
February 21, 2023
have been complied with by the City.
This
staff report provides data and information addressing each of these issues.
THE
PUBLIC INTEREST AND NECESSITY REQUIRE THE PROJECT
A.
Description of Existing Conditions
Mountai
n House Parkway is a north‐south arterial running from Byron Road in Mountain House to the eastbound (EB) I-205 ramp intersection, where it becomes International Parkway. North of I‐205, Mountain House Parkway is a median‐separated four‐lane roadway with a posted speed limit of 45 miles per hour (mph), which serves primarily residential and agricultural uses.
From the EB I-205 ramp intersection to Berkeley Road, International Parkway narrows to one lane in each direction with a 45-mph speed limit with limited adjacent land uses. From South of Berkeley Road to Schulte Road, International Parkway widens to two southbound lanes and one northbound lane adjacent to large‐scale light‐industrial uses, eventually widening to two lanes in each direction at its intersection with Schulte Road. South of Schulte Road, International Parkway narrows to one lane in each direction at the intersection of I‐580 and becomes Patterson Pass Road south of I-580. International Parkway is planned to be widened to four lanes (two lanes in each direction) as part of the Cordes Ranch development project as outlined in the adopted Specific Plan. Within the project area, Patterson Pass Road-International Parkway is a two-lane road with 12-foot lanes, 4-foot outside shoulders and no median or sidewalks.
I‐580 is
a major west‐east freeway that connects the San Francisco Bay Area to the Central Valley. I-580, between I-680 in Dublin and the junction at I-5, is designated as a route on the Rural and Single Interstate Routing System. In the Project vicinity I-580 essentially travels in a north-south direction, originating in Marin County and running through Alameda County to San Joaquin County, eventually terminating at its intersection with I‐5 southeast of Tracy. The existing I-580/I-205 freeway-to-freeway interchange is 2.15 miles to the west of the I-580/ Patterson Pass Road-International Parkway interchange, which is less than the standard 3 mile spacing required between a local interchange and a freeway-to-freeway interchange, and the I- 580/Corral Hollow Road interchange is 5.4 miles to the east. West of I‐205, I‐580 provides four mixed‐flow lanes in each direction with a posted speed limit of 70 mph. Between I‐205 and I‐5, I‐ 580 provides two lanes in each direction with a posted speed limit of 70 mph. Through the Project area, I‐580 is a four-lane freeway with 12-foot lanes, 10-foot outside shoulders, 5-foot inside shoulders, and a median width of approximately 74 feet.
The fr
eeway to freeway (I-580/I-205) interchange provides connectors between I-205 westbound (WB) and I-580 WB, and between I-580 EB and I-205 EB. Ramps at Mountain House Parkway/Patterson Pass Road provide the nearest access to the future developments adjacent to I-580.
The exis
ting interchange of I‐580/International Parkway is a tight diamond interchange with a two-lane road overcrossing. The ramps are one-lane in all directions; the off‐ramps are currently controlled by signals.
As
the Project sponsor, the City of Tracy, has been actively involved in the development of the Project in partnership with Caltrans. The Draft Environmental Document was approved for public circulation on June 10, 2020, and the Draft Project Report was approved on June 23, Agenda Item 3.A
February 21, 2023
2020. Community outreach took place during circulation of the Draft Environmental Document in July 2020. A public hearing was offered but there was no request for one.
The Final
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) (CEQA Approval) and Categorical Exclusions (CE) (NEPA Approval) were obtained on February 25, 2021. The CEQA and NEPA Approvals and all studies and documents related thereto are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth in full and are available for review.
B.
Public Need and Necessity
The Pro
ject is needed to reduce congestion resulting from ongoing and planned development as well as to improve local traffic circulation. The Project is needed to accommodate the increase in traffic demand projected as part of the planned development in the Cordes Ranch Specific Plan area and nearby areas in the City of Tracy and to discourage highway traffic from using local roadways, thereby improving local circulation.
The Cordes
Ranch Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) concluded that traffic resulting from the specific plan development would cause a significant impact on the intersections of International Parkway and the on-ramps and off-ramps of I-580. The Project was identified as a mitigation measure to reduce potential impacts to a less than significant level in the EIR for the Cordes Ranch Specific Plan.
Under
existing conditions, the I-580/International Parkway Interchange serves a combination of traffic to and from the Cordes Ranch Specific Plan area and regional traffic from Schulte Road in Tracy. Because of the congestion on I-580, I-205, and the Altamont Pass to and from the Bay Area, a significant amount of commuter traffic uses the I-580/International Parkway Interchange and Patterson Pass Road to bypass Altamont Pass during the morning and evening peak periods, resulting in congestion and delays at the existing side street intersections. Under existing pre-Project conditions, congestion and delays at three of the four intersections examined by the CEQA Approval operate at an unacceptable level of service, which is defined as the measure of the quality of performance of intersections and road or highway segments related to traffic flow and time delay.
The Pro
ject is designed to accommodate traffic resulting from congestion as described above, and the ongoing and planned development, primarily of the Cordes Ranch Specific Plan area.
The Pro
ject as proposed will bring substantial benefits to the public and the local community by reducing traffic congestion and delay on the freeways and intersections and increasing safety.
THE
PROJECT IS PLANNED OR LOCATED IN THE MANNER THAT WILL BE MOST
COMPATIBLE WITH THE GREATEST PUBLIC NEED AND LEAST PRIVATE INJURY A. Proj
ect Alternatives
Sever
al design alternatives were reviewed by Caltrans and the City of Tracy as a part of the Project development. These included a No Project Alternative, the Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) Alternative, a Compact Diamond (Type L-1) Alternative, and a Partial Cloverleaf (Type L-9) Alternative.
The No Pr
oject Alternative would result in continued and worsening traffic and congestion on Agenda Item 3.A
February 21, 2023
intersections and freeway operations, with impacts to the community from traffic associated with nearby freeways and the Cordes Ranch Specific Plan area. Three of the four studied intersections would worsen to unacceptable levels of service. By 2043, all four intersections would worsen to unacceptable levels of service. At the International Parkway/I-580 westbound ramps, levels of service for morning and evening peak hours would worsen to unacceptable level of service. At the International Parkway diagonal off ramp, levels of service would decrease to unacceptable conditions in the morning peak hours, and by 2043, all westbound segments would operate at unacceptable conditions in the morning peak hours and all eastbound segments would operate at unacceptable level of service during the evening peak hours. The current poor traffic operation is primarily due to commuter traffic which results in long delays on mainline I-580 and heavy congestion at local intersections.
The DDI
Alternative, which is the Project, allows a compact diamond configuration with minor realignments to the existing ramps that will reduce the footprint of the interchange, and maintain access to an existing gas station while accomplishing the goals of reducing congestion resulting from ongoing and planned development as well as improving local traffic circulation. Vehicle delay will be reduced for almost all travel lanes, and overall intersection operation will be improved at all studied locations by at least one level of service letter grade. This Alternative [the Project] will improve operation of the International Parkway/ I-580 westbound ramp connection, Patterson/Frontage Road ramp, and Patterson Pass Road/I-580 eastbound ramp, alleviate congestion on I-580, and significantly reduce intersection vehicle delay in almost all travel lanes.
The Type L-1 Al
ternative was considered but rejected due to poor operational performance. It was not compatible with the greatest public good.
The Type L-9 Al
ternative was considered but rejected because the DDI Alternative [the Project] achieves comparable operational performance with a significantly smaller footprint, lower cost, and significant reduction of right-of-way acquisition, meaning less private property would be needed to construct the Project.
In su
m, the DDI Alternative was selected because it improves traffic flow and safety, while providing the best total project cost and requires the least impact to private properties.
Therefore, the Project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public need and least private injury.
B. Pro
ject Features
The Pro
ject will divert traffic in both directions to the opposite side of the road while crossing I- 580, providing direct left turns to I-580 on-ramps and from I-580 off-ramps. Traffic will be signalized where it crosses to the other side of the road in either direction.
The exis
ting Patterson Pass Road overcrossing will be widened to the east to accommodate three 14-foot northbound lanes, two 14-foot southbound lanes, 6-foot outside and inside shoulders, a 15-foot-wide multi-use (bicycle and pedestrian) path in the middle of the overcrossing, and 6-foot-wide Class II Bike Lanes are also provided through the interchange.
The EB
on-ramp will be realigned to allow for three lanes, including a HOV lane at the entrance ramp. The WB on-ramp will consist of two general purpose lanes and an HOV lane.
Agenda Item 3.A
February 21, 2023
The WB off-ramp will be a two-lane exit ramp that will widen to four lanes: two left turn lanes to Patterson Pass Road and two right-turn lanes to International Parkway. The Project will also add a 1,500-foot auxiliary lane for the WB off-ramp. The EB off-ramp will remain a single-lane exit ramp that will widen to three lanes: two left-turn lanes and a single right-turn lane to Patterson Pass Road.
The Pro
ject maintains access to the existing gas station in the southwest quadrant of the interchange through a modified driveway along Patterson Pass Road and a new public road being acquired. Modification to the EB off-ramp will require realigning the existing private road and converting it to a public road to connect to Patterson Pass Road south of the gas station. A new driveway to the gas station is proposed to connect to the new public road with an intersection to provide access to Patterson Pass Road approximately 500 feet from the intersection of Patterson Pass Road and the EB ramps. Improvements will conform to Patterson Pass Road extending south approximately to the intersection with Via Nicolo Road to provide adequate distance for reducing the number of travel lanes from four lanes though the interchange to the existing two lanes on Patterson Pass Road. The public road will have public parking to accommodate tired commuters, allow for park and ride opportunities, and to allow the City of Tracy, as well as other public entities to conduct maintenance of their facilities.
Improvements north of I-580 on Patterson Pass Road will conform just south of the existing California Aqueduct Overcrossing.
The exis
ting underground drainage systems and cross culverts in the interchange area will be modified/replaced as needed for the new and modified interchange ramps. Roadside ditches will be reconstructed/added to continue to convey surface runoff generally to the existing low point along I-580 just east of the existing OC and ultimately to the north to the California Aqueduct.
The existing Caltrans right-of-way along I-580 at the approaches to the interchange will be maintained while additional right-of-way in the interchange area will be needed for the ramp modifications. The limits of access control will be extended south along Patterson Pass Road and north along International Parkway to accommodate the ramp modifications.
The Pro
ject is, therefore, planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public need. Moreover, as explained above, it is also planned to minimize impacts to private properties.

Du
ring 2022, the Department received 33,062 emergency calls through the 911 system, a decrease from the prior year. Department personnel handled 69,113 calls for service which is also a decrease from the prior year, which resulted in 1,737 arrests of adults and 61
juvenile arrests. Other than 911 calls, the most frequent calls coming into the Police Department
’s dispatch center are related to disturbances, alarms, Municipal Code violations and suspicious vehicles and persons.
Bu
ilding off of the technological advancements and grant funding that were already implemented in 2021, the Department was able to install license plate reader (LPR) cameras in 15 strategic intersections throughout the City, as well as in each Patrol car.
Through the use of LPR cameras, the Department has been able to respond to 201 Calls for Service.
In 2022, the Department introduced a comprehensive strategy for assisting to address the City’s unsheltered population with the implementation of the Familiar Faces team.

members in the Tracy Police
Department, 77 are in this bureau, and
most are uniform patrol officers.
The Bureau of Field Operations includes
many specialized units that address a
wide variety of policing problems, such
as the Special Enforcement Team
(SET), Traffic Unit, and Community
Preservation Unit.
The backbone of the Bureau of Field
Operations is the uniformed police
officer who is responsible for providing
the round-the-clock “first responder”
capability of the Police Department.
The officers of the Bureau of Field
Operations respond to all types of
calls, from parking complaints to
homicides.
When not answering calls for service,
officers are responsible for enhancing
quality of life through self-initiated
activity in enforcing our laws or
preventing crime through their
interaction with the public.
BUREAU OF FIELD OPERATIONS
Patrol Operations
The Patrol Division is considered the backbone
of the police department and is staffed by
uniformed personnel, organized into six patrol
teams and one Special Enforcement Team.
Each team is supervised by a sergeant,
providing 24/7 service to the community, and is
managed by one Captain and four Lieutenants.
In addition to sworn police officers, the Patrol
Division also has civilian Community Service
Officers who are trained to respond to calls for
service that do not require suspect contact.
The primary role of the patrol officer is to
respond to calls for service with officers
responding to 68,859 calls in 2022.
The Patrol Division continues to incorporate
technology in their daily activities through the
use of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) that
are assigned to each shit, and the Axon Fleet 3
Automatic License Plate Readers that each
patrol car is equipped with. Additionally, the
Flock Safety Automatic License Plate Reader
(ALPR) cameras that were installed have
resulted in 204 calls for service.

The Special Enforcement (SET) Team consists of one sergeant, one corporal, and four officers. The SET team works closely with both the Patrol Division and the investigations units. SET’s primary mission is street-level enforcement, including gang enforcement, narcotics enforcement, and fugitive apprehension. The SET team is frequently utilized to reduce criminal activity by focusing on trending crimes, and operating in an overt or covert capacity. The SET team has the flexibility to adjust their work schedules as necessary to accomplish a mission, as well as attend community events and career fairs at the high schools.
Due to an increase in individuals recklessly riding dirt bikes throughout Tracy, SET, our partners from both the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department and the California Highway Patrol, Operation Whiskey Throttle was conducted to curb the enthusiasm of the reckless motorcycle riders in town. During the operation, 6 dirt bikes were impounded for 30 days. Due to the increased transparency on social media posting about the seizures, complaints about reckless dirt bike riders around Tracy decreased.
Additionally, at the end of 2022, after the Patrol Unit responded to a reported mail theft at an apartment complex, SET officers authored and served a search warrant at a residence in Stockton with the assistance of GIU, locating dozens of victims of mail and identity theft, 30 grams of methamphetamine, and a loaded un-serialized P80 Glock style pistol was also located during the search.
SET briefly conducted a special operation at El Pescadero Park, due to growing concern from community members about potential violence at the Park. During the operation, SET issued 9 citations, towed 9 vehicles, completed 19 Field Interviews, and 20 arrests.

During the November S.T.E.P. operations, officers made 246 enforcement stops for violations such as speeding, use of a cell phone. Additionally, 7 drivers were cited for driving without a license and 3 were cited for driving with a suspended license.
During 2022, the Tracy PD Traffic Safety Unit responded to and investigated 188 injury collisions, with eleven (11) resulting in fatalities.
The goals for 2023 include continuous daily vehicle code enforcement, public education of the vehicle code’s rules of the road through citizen contacts, social media and our city’s websites, and more unit safety vehicle code enforcement operations. The Traffic Safety Unit will continue to work diligently to provide the citizens and motorists of Tracy, every opportunity to be aware and reminded of speed limits, stop signs, crosswalks, and school zones, in an effort to reduce and eliminate collisions of any kind.

The Neighborhood Resource Officer (NRO) positions exemplify community oriented policing in its truest and purest form. The NRO is a law enforcement officer that acts as a liaison between the Tracy Police Department, the community, non-profits, and a variety of city and other government agencies.
NROs work with citizens, civic groups, schools, and property owners, in organizing and evaluating effective crime prevention programs and problem solving. The NROs are responsible for issues and concerns in a neighborhood or business district, that are ongoing or simply demand more attention, investigative work or time than can be reasonably allotted during the course of a routine patrol call.
The NROs have proactive interactions with the citizens of Tracy in a wide variety of public relation efforts such as Neighborhood Watch Programs, homeless outreach, residential safety, personal/business crime prevention, crime information bulletins/alerts, bank and business security presentations, recruitment for Citizens Academy and internet safety programs.
Throughout 2022, Neighborhood Resource Officers have continued to be a vital part in assisting with Operation Helping Hands, by conducting outreach efforts twice a month to offer services to the unsheltered population of Tracy. The NRO team grew to a team of three (3) officers to allow for an officer to be integrated into the Familiar Faces Homes Outreach Program, funded in partnership with the San Joaquin County of Behavioral Health through a $213,000 grant to be used for equipment, training, and a consultant, allowing the program to serve as a model for other local agencies.

In late June 2022, Tracy Police Department Officers investigated an attempted murder of a male victim at El Pescadero Park, where the suspect fled the scene. The General Investigations Unit Detectives identified the suspect and requested the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) assist in apprehending the individual. Detectives from SIU had previously received tips of illegal activity taking place at Motel 6 and were actively conducting investigations at this location. Through this investigation, Detectives learned the suspect was living at Motel 6 with his mother, who was the motel manager.
Following execution of the search warrant, at which time the Code Enforcement team was requested to respond to address numerous building code violations. During Code Enforcement’s inspection, it was discovered that two of the motel rooms were converted to living quarters. The un- permitted work included doorways cut out between rooms serving as access points to adjacent rooms, compromised load bearing walls, installation of kitchens, required fire clearances from ignition sources, electrical hazards, compromised fire rated construction, missing/faulty smoke detectors, missing toilets, missing vent screens, an unmaintained swimming pool, trash, debris and dead vegetation. Code Enforcement coordinated inspections of all 133 motel guest rooms and all maintenance rooms, for fire and building code violations as well as violations of the initial development conditions imposed as part of the development approval process. Development condition violations include unmarked handicap parking spaces, unmet landscaping requirements, lack of enclosed garbage dumpster locations, and other similar type of requirements.
A series of compliance inspections have taken place since the August 2, 2022, to track progress of correcting the deficiencies noted. As of November 22, 2022, the few remaining violations include repair of the pool equipment, required landscaping (trees) and inspection of two remaining guest rooms (currently under eviction proceedings). The City provided a deadline date of December 22, 2022, to finalize the remaining corrections.

responsible for the operation and
maintenance of the Tracy Animal
Shelter, the care and welfare of animals
housed in the shelter, responding to
animal-related calls and complaints,
and enforcing animal-related laws.
In 2022, Animal Services accomplished
several goals. We were the award
recipient of several grants totaling over
$24,000, one of which provided the
shelter the ability to provide early
spay/neuter to any pet in the shelter
longer than two weeks, shortening the
animal's length of stay in the shelter, as
the pet can go home the same day that
they are adopted.
The Animal Shelter also began to
reopen for general walk-throughs. They
found that doing so was causing stress,
resulting in a lowered ability to match
adopters with animals. With this
realization, staff changed practices
leading to four long-time dogs being
adopted.
Additionally, in 2022 Animal Services
focused on participating in, and hosting,
community events, and for the first time
staff participated in the Fourth of July
parade, held multiple Best Friends
Adoption weekends, launched their Youth
Ambassador program, and brought back
The Fast and The Furriest Fun Run, which
saw hundreds of community members
come out to raise money for shelter

Department Recognition Award
A L E X C O N T R E R A S
S C H O O L R E S O U R C E O F F I C E R
Officer Alex Contreras joined the Tracy Police Department (TPD) in 2016 to serve in his hometown after four years of service with Ripon Police Department.
Since he has been with TPD, Officer Contreras transferred into the School Resource Officer (SRO) position in 2021, assigned to West High School, serves as a new SWAT Operator, and is the Vice President of the TPD Police Activities League (PAL) Board. While these duties are all time consuming and demanding, Officer Contreras juggles them seamlessly and enthusiastically. In addition to his demanding work duties, Officer Contreras continues to coach youth sports (baseball and football).
In his two years as a SRO an PAL Vice President, Officer Contreras has organized and assisted in several youth engagement events including lunch time basketball tournaments, football skills camp, baseball skills camp, and boxing club coach, while also volunteering to organize a Crab Feed to ensure funding for future Tracy PAL endeavors. These events have an obvious enrichment factor for the kids who participate, but equally, and maybe more importantly, it shines a humanizing light of compassion and care when a police officer shows up to help and teach in a non-enforcement setting. These interactions may be the course-changing event that pushes a child into the police calling later in life, or stirs them away from the wrong path.
Officer Contreras exemplifies the departments commitment to Service, as well as the Trust and Legitimacy Pillar of 21st Century Policing. Officer Contreras' genuine care and compassion for the City’s youth makes him an asset to the Tracy Police Department and deserving of the 2022 Department Recognition Award.
The Department Recognition Award may be awarded to an individual or group of employees for outstanding performance of duties under unusual or complicated conditions over a period of time, or in recognition of a proactive philosophy as demonstrated by projects or community involvement.

With over fifteen years with the Tracy Police
Department, Sergeant Mike Richards exudes the
leadership qualities of a highly respected leader.
Sergeant Richards is a fair sergeant with simple and
clear team expectations that he holds his entire team
accountable to, never deviating from the expectations
of his officers, and has always been humble about
admitting if he is wrong about something.
Sergeant Richards genuinely cares about the officers
assigned to his team which is apparent by his “open

Volunteer of the Year
C H A R L E S H A R R I S O N
V O L U N T E E R I N P O L I C E S E R V I C E
Volunteer Charles “Chuck” Harrison has been with the Tracy Police Department's Volunteer in Police Service (VIPS)
program since 2019. He has been a constant and dedicated member of the fleet team, losing himself in his contributions to this department’s mission.
Chuck’s persistent dedication to ensuring that the Tracy Police Department's fleet is maintained and managed is an essential duty that keeps rubber to the road and ensures that our Officers can respond to all calls for help or service. Arriving in the waking hours of the morning, usually before the sun is up, Chuck and his fleet partners arrive quietly and shuffle vehicles to and from the Boyd Service Center with little fanfare or noise.
In 2022 Chuck logged over 430 hours of volunteer time, which by any measure of a volunteer is a commendable feat and reminds us that our volunteers are the embodiment of service.
Chuck demonstrates daily, the power of giving with his
contributions to the mission, going unnoticed by many because of his selflessness. Chuck's actions are essential and greatly appreciated as a valuable member of the Tracy PD VIPS and deserving of the 2022 Volunteer of the Year Award.
The Police Volunteer of the Year Award serves to recognize an outstanding volunteer within our Department who contributes to the efficiency and effectiveness of the Department, and who demonstrates the qualities set forth by the Tracy Police Department’s Mission Statement.
C A R L O F A N T O
I N F O R M A T I O N T E C H N O L O G Y S P E C I A L I S T The Employee of the Year may be awarded to professional staff of any rank who looks for ways to improve the Department’s efficiency and effectiveness, and who demonstrates the qualities set forth by the Tracy Police Department’s Mission Statement.
Carlo Fanto exemplifies Service, Integrity, and Excellence daily when assisting Department employees. He is highly reliable and often accommodates his work hours to meet organizational needs. Carlo continuously does an outstanding performance in his duties year after year without ever seeking recognition. His humble yet open-minded approach makes him a pleasure to work with on complicated projects. Carlo at a moment's notice will stop what he is doing and handle any technical issues that arise without delay. His positive outlook and incredible work ethic make him a great asset and value to TPD. As the primary IT Specialist for the Department, Carlo not only helps support and maintain virtually all technology third-party vendor programs but takes care of all fleet-related technology maintenance. He often does work in the background to ensure all systems are operating correctly and his work goes unnoticed until systems fail.
In addition to his daily duties, in 2202 Carlo played a crucial role in upgrading the Wireless Cradle Points in all Patrol vehicles, resolving latency issues that compromised officer safety due to lagged GPS, while also replacing and upgrading Patrol vehicle MDC/MDT.
These projects are just some examples of how his work improved the department's efficiency and effectiveness, demonstrated great customer service both internally and externally, and aligns with our department's strategic goals while exemplifying our values.
Congratulations on your Employee of the Year Award!

RECOMMENDATION
Staff
recommends that the City Council receive an informational report regarding the annual report of the Transportation Advisory Commission.
EXECUTI VE SUMMARY
The Transpor
tation Advisory Commission was formed by the City Council in 2007 for the purpose of advising the Council on the planning and development of public transportation related improvements and delivery of various public transportation service programs. At the April 6, 2021, regular City Council meeting, the Council expressed the desire to receive an annual report from all of the City’s Commissions. This report is an accounting of the Transportation Advisory Commission for Fiscal Year (FY) 21/22 as well as projected goals for FY 22/23.
BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
The Transpor
tation Advisory Commission (TAC) was formed in 2007 after Council expressed the need for a commission with a diverse member composition in order to advise the Council on various public transportation issues. The original commission was comprised of nine members with background in transit, aviation, rail, and bikeways. Since the TAC was formed, they have worked on setting their own goals to work on annually.
In FY 21/
22, the TAC had four focus areas and eleven goals as listed below. Under each goal is the status on how successful the commissioners were in completing their objective.
Focus Area:
OUTREACH
• Public Outreach at the Farmer's Market
o A primary focus of the commission is to get feedback from the public on issues related to transportation. In
order to achieve this, the commission decided that it would be beneficial to be out in the public where there are already crowds of people. The Farmer’s Market was
the best choice as a place where there are plenty of citizens weekly and the City staff
already had a booth set up there periodically. Although the goal was to try and be at the
Farmer’s Market every month, the schedules of the commissioners did not always lend them to be available during the weeks that the City staff has a booth set up.
The commission representatives were able to attend three Farmer’s Markets during FY 21/22 providing information about the
commission and other transportation items.
o GOAL STATUS: COMPLETE
• Public Outreach at Block Party Events
o Another way
that the commission wanted to try and received feedback from the community was through the City’s Block Party Events. Since City staff already had a booth set up
for those events, the Transportation Commissioners would be able to easily have a location from whic
h they could interact with the attendees, hand out information, and gather feedback.
As was the same with the Farmer’s Market, the schedules of the commissioners did not always allow them to be available at all of the Block Party events.
The commission representatives were able to attend one of the Block Party events during FY 21/22.
o GOAL
STATUS: COMPLETE
Agenda Item 3.D
February 21, 2023
• Participate in City Sponsored Airport Events
o In October 2021, the Commission participated in the Tracy Municipal Airport’s Halloween event. The commission representatives were able to have a booth at the event and engage with the public through handing out information on the commission as well as information regarding the airport and public transit. In addition, the Commission supported the City’s hosting of the IAC West Open Championship, and aerobatics competition, at the Tracy Municipal Airport in June 2022. o GOAL STATUS: COMPLETE
• Participate in Bike Rodeo Event
o In October 2021, the Commission participated in the Tracy Earth Project’s California Clean Air Day event, which consisted of a focus on bicycle use and bicycle safety. The commission representatives were able to have a booth at the event and engage with the public through handing out helmets and bicycle safety information, information about the commission, and information regarding the airport and public transit. o GOAL STATUS: COMPLETE
Focus Area:
TRANSIT
• Provide Input on Updated Short Range Transit Plan Impl ementation o The Short-Range Transit Plan was approved by the City Council in August of 2019. Due to COVID-19 many of the aspects of planning for the implementation of the plan had to be altered. The commission was, however, able to provide input on the implementation of the Tracer Plus on-demand service which began in August 2020 and expanded in August 2021.
o GOAL STATUS: COMPLETE
• Provide Fare Policy Recommendation to City Council
o This item was intended to bring a larger discussion about overall fare policy for the Tracer bus system. Due to COVID-19, many things have changed in the transit industry and will take some time to re-stabilize. In the meantime, the commission discussed and recommended providing free rides for students as a pilot program through a Caltrans grant. This grant allowed free rides for students for the 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 school year.
o GOAL STATUS: PARTIALLY COMPLETE
Focus Area:
BIKEWAYS
• Provide Input on Updated Bikeways Master Plan
o The Bikeways Master Plan update is part of the larger Transportation Master Plan update. The commission participated in a public survey for the Bikeways Master Plan and helped facilitate that information to the public. Additionally, the commission participated in a public workshop to gather input on the Bikeways Master Plan. o GOAL STATUS: COMPLETE
Focus Area:
EDUCATION
• Receive presentations on areas related to the purpose of the commission o The commission recognized the need to stay informed on various items related to the commission’s purpose. A list of areas of interest were identified to receive presentations as availability
allowed. Some of these presentations included Airport Budget, Tracy Airport Aerobatic Box, SJCOG Vamos Mobility App, Unmet Transit Needs. Future areas of interest will continue to be scheduled by staff to further the education of the commission.
o GOAL STATUS:
ONGOING
