City Council Staff Report
December 9, 2025
From: Isaac Moreno, Finance Director
Prepared by: Isaac Moreno, Finance Director
Agendized by: Susan E. Borrego, Interim City Manager
1. ACTION RECOMMENDED:
Resolution: Adopting Amendments to the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget as a Result of the First Quarter Budget Review
2. NARRATIVE:
On June 10, 2025, the City Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget. As has been done in prior fiscal years, a first quarter review was completed and is being presented to City Council. During this review, clean up/carryover items as well as new requests are being proposed for consideration. For Fiscal Year 2025-2026, the following requests will be discussed and recommended:
• Discuss financial information as of September 30, 2025 for the General Fund and other Major Funds
• Recommend City Manager’s Office reorganization and fiscal impacts • Recommend additional position for Human Relations
• Recommend clean up and carryover items for budget amendments Financial Information
The General Fund: For the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2025-2026, the General Fund represents a positive gain of $1.6 million of revenues over expenditures. Attachment 3 depicts a summary of each department's year-to-date activities. One of the primary revenues for the General Fund is property taxes. However, since the first payment of property taxes is not received from the County until late January, this revenue has been estimated at 25% of the adopted budget amount. Some notable impacts are one-time funds being received for the sale of city property and salary savings from unfilled positions. Attachment 2 provides the General Fund reserve calculation for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2024.
Other Major Funds: Unlike the General Fund, these funds represent actual revenues and expenditures posted through September 30, 2025. Their summary is as follows:
Agenda Staff Report
12/9/2025
Fund 115 “Measure A Roads” reflects a large loss this quarter, resulting from capital projects being funded from reserves.
Fund 118 “Measure A General” reflects a large loss this quarter, resulting from $2.0 million being transferred from reserves to public safety for equipment replacement at the beginning of the fiscal year. These actions were approved during the budget process.
Fund 120 “Tourism” reflects a large loss this quarter, resulting from the first quarter revenues being received in October.
Fund 410 "Water Quality Control" reflects a large loss for this quarter, resulting from a bond payment made for $2.9 million as well as revenues only being recorded for two months, due to the accrual method of accounting.
City Manager’s Office Reorganization
The City Manager’s Office is made up of several departments, consisting of Risk Management, Housing, Economic Development/Communications, and the City Clerk. In order to address workload demands and strengthen internal controls, the Interim City Manager is proposing a reorganization of the City Manager’s Office. This realignment consists of three new full-time positions (Public Information Officer, Management Analyst, and Staff Services Technician). In addition to these new positions, job description changes throughout the City Manager’s Office have been proposed to realign with tasks currently being performed. The proposed organizational chart will be presented at the City Council meeting.
Human Relations Department
To maintain the highest level of support for City departments, employees and the public, and to effectively manage the responsibilities of Human Relations, staff is requesting Council approval to hire an additional Principal Human Relations Analyst. This position will strengthen the department’s ability to support city growth, advance succession planning, improve efficiency, and ensure compliance. Adding this position aligns with the long-term goals of operational efficiency and workforce sustainability. This request reflects a current operational necessity to meet growing demands.
Clean Up and Carryover Augmentations
In addition to the above noted requests, some clean up and carryover items are being presented. These two terms are defined as follows:
Clean Up: This process occurs when an item or items were omitted during the initial budget process due mainly to timing between the budget planning process and the adoption of the budget.
Carryover: Moving unspent funds from one fiscal year to a subsequent fiscal year. This enables the City to spend funds in the current fiscal year that were expended in the prior fiscal year, mainly due to timing or unforeseen circumstances such as delays in delivery.
Agenda Staff Report
12/9/2025
3. FISCAL IMPACT / BUDGET AMENDMENT:
The requested budget augmentations are detailed in Attachment 4 with the designated funding sources.
4. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This action is not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA guidelines. This action consists of “organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment” and therefore is not considered a project.

City Council Staff Report
December 9, 2025
From: Nick Showalter, Information Technology Director
Prepared by: Nick Showalter, Information Technology Director Agendized by: Susan E. Borrego, Interim City Manager
1. ACTION RECOMMENDED:
Resolution: Appropriating $75,000 to Fund 501 "Information Technology" account 501-10- 130.43045 - Computer Maintenance for the agreement with Tyler Technologies for the purchase of Enterprise Permitting and Licensing software.
Motion: Approving the agreement with Tyler Technologies for the purchase of Enterprise Permitting and Licensing software for an initial three-year term of $974,589 which includes setup, implementation, and annual recurring fees along with a ten percent (10%) contingency utilizing Sourcewell contract No.060624-TTI, in accordance with Turlock Municipal Code Section 2-7-08(b)(5) allowing use of joint, cooperative, or leveraged purchasing plans and not requiring an additional City bid procedure.
2. NARRATIVE:
The City currently uses a Community Development system for permitting that is primarily used for internal permit processing and does not support customer interactions. This system is no longer receiving product updates, enhancements, or developments, and acts only as a system for hosting the data and producing a permit. Since this system does not interface with customers, applicants are unable to apply for permits or licenses online through a centralized workflow system, leading to inefficiencies and communication challenges.
Instead, the current processes rely on the submission of PDF forms, online forms, over-thecounter interactions, or email communication. This fragmented approach makes tracking permit progress difficult, hinders interdepartmental collaboration, and reduces transparency for both staff and applicants.
To modernize and streamline the permitting process, the City is seeking to implement an Enterprise Permitting and Licensing System from Tyler Technologies that will provide a centralized online portal for permit and license applications. This system will integrate with existing internal workflows while expanding functionality to include real-time tracking, enhanced customer communication, and improved coordination among multiple City departments. Key benefits of the system include:
Expanded Customer Access: Applicants will be able to apply for permits and licenses online, track their progress, and receive updates in real-time, improving service delivery and reducing the need for in-person visits, phone calls, or follow-up inquiries.
Improved Efficiency: Automation of workflows will eliminate redundant tasks, reduce processing times, and improve staff productivity by streamlining approvals and document submissions.
Enhanced Interdepartmental Collaboration: A centralized system will facilitate seamless communication between departments involved in the permitting and licensing process, ensuring more efficient reviews and approvals.
Agenda Staff Report
12/9/2025
Greater Transparency: Both applicants and City staff will have real-time visibility into application statuses, reducing uncertainty and enhancing accountability.
Data Accuracy and Reporting: Digital record-keeping and reporting capabilities will improve data integrity, allowing the City to analyze trends, optimize processes, and make informed policy decisions.
It will take approximately eighteen (18) months to implement the Enterprise Permitting and Licensing software, following a detailed project scope and outline.
3. FISCAL IMPACT / BUDGET AMENDMENT:
The total cost for the agreement is $885,990, which includes:
• One-Time Fee of Professional Implementation Services: $389,025 • Year 1 of Tyler Technologies Software as a Service: $165,655 • Year 2 of Tyler Technologies Software as a Service: $165,655 • Year 3 of Tyler Technologies Software as a Service: $165,655 A ten percent (10%) contingency of $88,599 has been added to the overall approval cost of the software agreement if additional professional implementation or software services are needed for the initial term of the agreement, which brings it to a grand total of $974,589 for the first three (3) years.
The total cost of the first year will include the One-Time Fee of Professional Implementation Services as well as one year of hosted Software as a Service, which totals $554,680. $500,000 has been budgeted and allocated in fund 241-00-000-227.51011 - Computer Software for the first year's expenditure. The requested appropriation of $75,000 to Fund 501 "Information Technology" account 501-10-130.43045 - Computer Maintenance will also be used for the first year's expenditure. The additional $20,320 appropriated to Fund 501 "Information Technology" is added as a contingency.
Multiple department funding sources will fund the subsequent years of service. This purchase agreement utilizes Sourcewell contract No.060624-TTI, in accordance with Turlock Municipal Code Section 2-7-08(b)(5), allowing use of joint, cooperative, or leveraged purchasing plans and not requiring an additional City bid procedure.

You acknowledge that we have no obligation to ship copies of the Tyler Software as part of the SaaS Services. Your right to use the SaaS Services applies to releases provided as part of our Maintenance and Support Services as further detailed in this Agreement.
2. Ownership.
2.1.We retain all ownership and intellectual property rights to the SaaS Services, the Tyler Software, and anything developed by us under this Agreement. You do not acquire under this Agreement any license to use the Tyler Software in excess of the scope and/or duration of the SaaS Services.
2.2.The Documentation is licensed to you and may be used and copied by your employees for internal, non-commercial reference purposes only.
3. Data.
3.1. You retain all ownership and intellectual property rights to the Data. You expressly recognize that except to the extent necessary to fulfill our obligations contained in this Agreement, we do not create or endorse any Data used in connection with the SaaS Services.
3.2. You expressly grant to us a limited, non-exclusive license to access, copy, transmit, download, display, and reproduce your Data to provide services pursuant to this Agreement. Additionally, you agree that Tyler may use deidentified Data for Client or third-party demonstrative or training purposes.
3.3.Our access to and use of your Data necessary to use the Tyler Software or SaaS Services will comply with applicable provisions of our Privacy Statement (available at https://www.tylertech.com/privacy) and applicable law.
3.4.Data Breach Notification. Tyler will provide notice of a breach of Client Data in accordance with applicable state and federal data breach notification laws.
4. Restrictions.
4.1.You may not:
4.1.1. make the Tyler Software or Documentation resulting from the SaaS Services available in any manner to any third party for use in the third party’s business operations;
4.1.2. modify, make derivative works of, disassemble, reverse compile, or reverse engineer any part of the SaaS Services;
4.1.3. access or use the SaaS Services to build or support, and/or assist a third party in building or supporting, products or services competitive to us; or
4.1.4. license, sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, display, host, outsource, disclose, permit timesharing or service bureau use, or otherwise commercially exploit or make the SaaS Services, Tyler Software, or Documentation available to any third party other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement.
4.1.5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.1, you may disclose, with our written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, the Tyler Software, SaaS Services, or Documentation to a third party you consult with regarding the implementation or use of the Tyler Software and SaaS Services. You must ensure that any such third-party’s use is subject to the terms of this Agreement, and you acknowledge and agree that you are liable for any breach of the terms of this Agreement by such third party.
5. Software Warranty. We warrant that the Tyler Software will perform without Defects during the
4 term of this Agreement. If the Tyler Software does not perform as warranted, we will use all reasonable efforts, consistent with industry standards, to cure the Defect in accordance with our then-current Support Call Process.
6. SaaS Services.
6.1.Audit & Compliance. Our SaaS Services are audited at least yearly in accordance with the AICPA’s Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (“SSAE”) No. 21. We have attained, and will maintain, SOC 1 and SOC 2 compliance, or their equivalent, for so long as you are timely paying for SaaS Services. The foregoing notwithstanding, you acknowledge that the scope of audit coverage varies depending on the specific Tyler Software solution. We will provide you with a summary of our current compliance report(s) or its equivalent, upon your request. For the avoidance of doubt, if our SaaS Services are provided using a third-party data center, the compliance report may be for that third-party provider and be subject to confidential treatment in accordance with applicable law. If you want us to provide our compliance reports to a third-party auditor or similar entity, we reserve the right to require execution of an NDA by that third party.
6.2.Service Levels. The Tyler Software will be made available to you according to the terms of the SLA. Tyler SaaS Services will be provided via a third-party data center. Your Data will be inaccessible to our other customers.
6.3.Business Continuity. Data centers used to deliver SaaS Services for this Agreement have redundant telecommunications access, electrical power, and the required hardware to provide access to the SaaS Services in the event of a disaster or component failure. We test our disaster recovery plan on an annual basis. The plan is not client specific and is detailed in Tyler’s System & Organization Control reports or their equivalent. In the event of a data center failure, we reserve the right to employ our disaster recovery plan for resumption of the SaaS Services. In that event, we commit to a Recovery Point Objective (“RPO”) of 24 hours and a Recovery Time Objective (“RTO”) of 24 hours. RPO represents the maximum duration of time between the most recent recoverable copy of your hosted Data and subsequent data center failure. RTO represents the maximum duration of time following data center failure within which your access to the Tyler Software must be restored. If we employ our disaster recovery plan, we will be responsible for restoring your Data and ensuring that the SaaS Services are online, and you will be responsible for validating your Data and confirming the functioning of the SaaS Services, including any integrations.
6.4.Security Measures. We provide secure Data transmission paths between your devices and the data center used to provide SaaS Services to you. Data centers used to provide SaaS Services are accessible only by authorized personnel with a unique key entry or comparable security. We conduct annual penetration testing of either the production network and/or web application to be performed. We will maintain industry standard intrusion detection and prevention systems to monitor malicious activity in the network and to log and block any such activity. You may not attempt to bypass or subvert security restrictions in the SaaS Services or environments related to the Tyler Software.
Unauthorized attempts to access files, passwords, or other confidential information, and vulnerability and penetration test scanning of our network and systems (hosted or otherwise) are prohibited. Where applicable with respect to our applications that take or process card payment data, we comply with applicable requirements of PCI DSS. We agree to supply the then-current status of our PCI DSS compliance program in the form of an official Attestation of Compliance, which can be found at https://www.tylertech.com/about-us/compliance and, in the event of any change in our
5 status, we will comply with applicable notice requirements.
SECTION C – PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
1. Professional Services. We will provide you the various implementation-related services itemized in the Investment Summary and if applicable, described in the Statement of Work.
2. Professional Services Fees. You agree to pay us the services fees in the amounts set forth in the Investment Summary. You acknowledge that the fees stated in the Investment Summary, unless expressly stated otherwise, are good-faith estimates of the amount of time and materials required for your implementation. We will bill you the actual fees incurred based on the in-scope services provided to you. Any discrepancies in the total values set forth in the Investment Summary will be resolved by multiplying the applicable rate by the quoted units.
3. Additional Services. The Investment Summary contains, and the Statement of Work describes, the scope of services and related costs (including programming and/or interface estimates) required for the project based on our understanding of the specifications you supplied. If additional work is required, or if you use or request additional services, we will provide you with an addendum or change order, as applicable, outlining the costs for the additional work. The price quotes in the addendum or change order will be valid for thirty (30) days from the date of the quote.
4. Cancellation. If you cancel services less than four (4) weeks in advance (other than for Force Majeure or breach by us), you will be liable for all (i) daily fees associated with cancelled professional services if we are unable to reassign our personnel and (ii) any non-refundable travel expenses already incurred by us on your behalf. We will make all reasonable efforts to reassign personnel in the event you cancel within four (4) weeks of scheduled commitments.
5. Services Warranty. We will perform services in a professional, workmanlike manner, consistent with industry standards. In the event we provide services that do not conform to this warranty, we will re-perform such services at no additional cost to you.
6. Site Access and Requirements. At no cost to us, you agree to provide us with reasonable access to your personnel, facilities, and equipment as may be reasonably necessary for us to provide implementation services, subject to any reasonable security protocols or other written policies provided to us as of the Effective Date, and thereafter as mutually agreed to by you and us.
7. Background Checks. All of our employees undergo criminal background checks prior to hire. All employees sign our confidentiality agreement and security policies.
8. Client Assistance. You acknowledge that the implementation of the Tyler Software is a cooperative process requiring the time and resources of your personnel. You certify that you will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with us and make your resources available for the performance of the Agreement in accordance with its terms and the mutually agreed project schedule. Additionally, you agree to use all reasonable efforts to cooperate with and assist us as may be reasonably required to support the efficient execution of the activities required for this Agreement.
Accordingly, you will provide notice of any known inability to timely meet a project commitment so that appropriate project adjustments can be made. We will not be liable for failure to meet any
6 project deadlines or milestones when such failure is due to Force Majeure or to the failure by you to comply with the requirements of this paragraph.
9. Maintenance and Support Services.
9.1.For the duration of this Agreement, consistent with the terms set forth in our then-current Support Call Process, we will:
9.1.1. perform our maintenance and support obligations in a professional and workmanlike manner, consistent with industry standards, to provide support and resolve Defects in the Tyler Software (subject to any applicable release life cycle policy);
9.1.2. provide telephone support during our established support hours as indicated in our then-current Support Call Process;
9.1.3. maintain personnel that are sufficiently trained to be familiar with the Tyler Software and Third-Party Software, if any, in order to provide maintenance and support services;
9.1.4. provide releases to the Tyler Software (including updates and enhancements) that we make generally available without additional charge to customers with a current SaaS Agreement.
9.2.Your use of Tyler Software or SaaS Services requires that you remain current with supported releases of Tyler Software as indicated in any applicable release lifecycle policy. Our warranty and support commitments are contingent upon you using a supported version of the Tyler Software. Tyler may require you to update to a current version of the Tyler Software to address a critical issue (for example, to address an identified security vulnerability in the Tyler Software or a third-party component). Tyler will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) minimize the number of such instances and (ii) provide as much advance notice as possible.
9.3.We will use all reasonable efforts to perform support services remotely. We reserve the right to use secure third-party connectivity tools to deliver maintenance and support services. We also reserve the right to collect Tyler Software or SaaS Services telemetry for product evaluation, quality assurance, and security monitoring and enhancement purposes. You agree to reasonably cooperate with us in providing access to your environments and Data for the purposes of providing maintenance and support services and acknowledge that our warranty, support, and service level obligations under this Agreement are contingent upon receiving reasonable access to your Data and systems.
9.4. For the avoidance of doubt, SaaS Fees do not include the following services: (a) onsite support; (b) application design; (c) other consulting services; or (d) telephone support outside our normal business hours as listed in our then-current Support Call Process.

2. Third-Party Software. Your rights under this Agreement may include rights to certain Third-Party Software. We certify that we have acquired the right to provide the Third-Party Software to you.
Your rights to the Third-Party Software will be governed by the Third-Party Terms and, in the absence of such terms, this Agreement.
7 3. Third Party Products Warranties.
3.1 We are authorized by each Developer or its authorized reseller to sell or grant access, as applicable, to the Third-Party Products.
3.2 Unless otherwise expressly indicated, Third-Party Hardware will be new and unused. You will receive free and clear title to the Third-Party Hardware you purchase upon your payment in full of the purchase price.

SECTION E – TERM AND TERMINATION
1. Term. The initial term of this Agreement is equal to the number of years indicated for SaaS Services in Exhibit A or one (1) year if no duration is indicated. The initial term commences on the first day of the first month following the Effective Date. Upon expiration of the initial term, this Agreement will renew automatically for additional one (1) year renewal terms at our then-current SaaS Fees unless terminated in writing by either party at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current renewal term.

2.2.For Cause. If you believe we have materially breached this Agreement, you will invoke the Dispute Resolution clause set forth in Section G(2). You may terminate this Agreement for cause after following the procedures set forth in Section G(2).

8 1.1. We will defend you against any third-party claim(s) that the Tyler Software or Documentation infringes that third-party’s patent, copyright, or trademark, or misappropriates its trade secrets, and will pay the amount of any resulting adverse final judgment (or settlement to which we consent).

1 Exhibit C
SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
I. Agreement Overview
This SLA operates in conjunction with, and does not supersede or replace any part of, the Agreement. It outlines the information technology service levels related to the availability of the Tyler SaaS Services that you have requested us to provide. All other support services are documented in the Support Call Process.
This SLA does not apply to any Third-Party SaaS Services.
II. Definitions. Except as defined below, all defined terms have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.
Actual Attainment: The percentage of time the Tyler Software is available during a calendar month, calculated as follows: (Service Availability – Downtime) ÷ Service Availability.
Client Error Incident: Any service unavailability resulting from your applications, content or equipment, or the acts or omissions of any of your service users or third-party providers over whom we exercise no control.
Downtime: Those minutes during Service Availability, as defined below, when all users cannot launch, login, search or save primary data in the Tyler Software. Downtime does not include those instances in which only a Defect is present.
Emergency Maintenance Window: (1) maintenance that is required to patch a critical security vulnerability; (2) maintenance that is required to prevent an imminent outage of Service Availability; or (3) maintenance that is mutually agreed upon in writing by Tyler and the Client.
Planned Downtime: Downtime that occurs during a Standard or Emergency Maintenance window.
Service Availability: The total number of minutes in a calendar month that the Tyler Software is capable of receiving, processing, and responding to requests, excluding Planned Downtime, Client Error Incidents, denial of service attacks and Force Majeure. Service Availability only applies to Tyler Software being used in the production environment.
Standard Maintenance: Routine maintenance to the Tyler Software and infrastructure. Standard Maintenance is limited to five (5) hours per week.
III. Service Availability
a. Your Responsibilities
Whenever you experience Downtime, you must make a support call according to the procedures outlined in the Support Call Process. You will receive a support case number. b. Our Responsibilities
When our support team receives a call from you that Downtime has occurred or is occurring, we will work
2 with you to identify the cause of the Downtime (including whether it may be the result of Planned Downtime, a Client Error Incident, denial of service attack or Force Majeure). We will also work with you to resume normal operations.
c. Client Relief
Our targeted Attainment Goal is 100%. You may be entitled to credits as indicated in the Client Relief Schedule found below. Your relief credit is calculated as a percentage of the SaaS Fees paid for the calendar month.
In order to receive relief credits, you must submit a request through one of the channels listed in our Support Call Process within fifteen (15) days of the end of the applicable month. We will respond to your relief request within thirty (30) days of receipt.
The total credits confirmed by us will be applied to the SaaS Fee for the next billing cycle. Issuing of such credit does not relieve us of our obligations under the Agreement to correct the problem which created the service interruption.
Credits are only payable when Actual Attainment results in eligibility for credits in consecutive months and only for such consecutive months.
Client Relief Schedule
Actual Attainment Client Relief
99.99% - 99.70% Remedial action will be taken
99.69% - 98.50% 2% of SaaS Fees paid for applicable month

IV. Maintenance Notifications
We perform Standard Maintenance during limited windows that are historically known to be reliably low-traffic times. If and when maintenance is predicted to occur during periods of higher traffic, we will provide advance notice of those windows and will coordinate to the greatest extent possible with you.
Not all maintenance activities will cause application unavailability. However, if Tyler anticipates that activities during a Standard or Emergency Maintenance window may make the Tyler Software unavailable, we will provide advance notice, as reasonably practicable, that the Tyler Software will be unavailable during the maintenance window.
