CONSENT CALENDAR 8.F.

DATE: September 9, 2025
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Jason Ta, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH

LEAVEN KIDS REALLOCATING EXISTING BUDGET AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY

MANAGER TO EXECUTE SAME

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving a First Amendment to the Agreement with Leaven Kids reallocating remaining budget and authorize the City Manager to execute same.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Leaven Kids is a local non-profit community benefit organization that revitalizes communities through early education and intervention. On October 30, 2022, the City entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Leaven Kids (City contract 23-PD067) to provide services through September 30, 2024 for an amount not to exceed $299,800 (“Original Contract”), which was funded exclusively by a Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation (“BCJI”) grant from the United States Department of Justice.

Due to a delay in project implementation, the Original Contract expired with approximately $123,500 of remaining budget. Accordingly, City staff obtained City Council authorization to enter into a new contract with Leaven Kids for that amount (“Agreement”) to ensure grant funds contributed to the project as intended by the federal government. (City contract 25-PD176, Resolution 25-053.) The Agreement expires on September 30, 2025. To date, Leaven Kids has expended $92,216.37 of the $123,500 budget, which leaves a remaining budget of $31,283.63. As the Agreement comes to an end, Leaven Kids has determined that reallocating remaining budget to Salary & Fringe ($28,583.63) and Equipment ($2,700) would best serve the project as some of the items intended to be funded by the Agreement were funded through other mechanisms. This increase in staff time and equipment will directly benefit project participants.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
In December 2021, the City of Vallejo was one of twenty agencies selected for the Fiscal Year 2021 BCJI grant. The City of Vallejo Police Department is using the BCJI grant funding to implement Project HOPE (Harm-focused Outreach, Prevention, and Education).

Leaven Kids is a primary Project HOPE partner that operates learning centers located at Maine Street, Sereno Drive, and Magazine Street, all of which are in hotspot neighborhoods, to youth at risk of exposure to crime and violence. These learning centers offer after-school and year-round opportunities for positive interactions with role models, tutoring and homework assistance, enrichment activities, and referrals to community services, all of which help the participating at-risk youth, their families, and the community at large. Leaven Kids provides these opportunities to approximately 75 children each year (225 children in a standard 3-year grant cycle).

FISCAL IMPACT
None. Funding for the services in this First Amendment was already allocated by City Council and memorialized in City contract 23-PD067, which was renewed via City contract 25-PD176. No new funding

Date: September 9, 2025

allocation is requested herein.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

FROM: Oscar Alcantar, Interim Public Works Director
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING A FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT

PROVIDING FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SOLANO STORMWATER ALLIANCE

AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE SAME

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving a First Amendment to the Agreement Providing for Implementation of the Solano Stormwater Alliance and authorizing the City Manager to execute same.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
For the last 13 years, the Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District has been working with the Vallejo Flood & Wastewater District and the cities of Fairfield, Suisun, and Vallejo to coordinate compliance with the Regional Water Quality Control Board’s Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP). The First Amendment will add a reserve policy to the Memorandum of Agreement and change the cost allocations between the participating agencies.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The federal Clean Water Act (CWA) was amended in 1987 to address urban stormwater runoff pollution of the nation’s waters. In 1990, US EPA promulgated rules establishing Phase 1 of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater program. The Phase 1 program for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4s) requires operators that serve populations greater than 100,000 persons to implement a stormwater management program as a means to control polluted discharges from these MS4s.

The Water Board issued county-wide municipal stormwater permits in the early 1990s to operators of MS4s serving populations over 100,000 (Phase 1). On November 19, 2015, the Water Board re-issued these countywide municipal stormwater permits as one Municipal Regional Stormwater NPDES Permit to regulate stormwater discharges from municipalities and local agencies in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties, and the cities of Fairfield, Suisun City, and Vallejo.

For the last 13 years, the Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District has been working with the Vallejo Flood & Wastewater District (VFWD) and the cities of Fairfield, Suisun City, and Vallejo (City) to coordinate compliance with the Regional Water Quality Control Board’s Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP). The Agreement that was signed on July 22, 2022, formalized the group’s commitment to collaborate regionally on the new MRP 3 requirements for the new permit term that commenced on July 1, 2023. Historically, permit collaborations were primarily based on informal agreements between the Permittees, but the Stormwater Alliance Agreement helped to clearly define their roles and responsibilities, including how resources are managed and/or shared, which has benefited all the participating jurisdictions and agencies.

The Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District (FSSD) serves as the Alliance's Fiscal Agent/Manager and is responsible for administrative and technical coordination consistent with the MRP requirements. Although the City was not required to join or enter into an agreement with the Solano Stormwater Alliance (Alliance), staff believed there

were clear benefits. Alliance members have collaborated with one another and shared resources (i.e. sampling, monitoring, inspections, training, outreach and education), which has assisted the Alliance members with completing their respective Stormwater Annual Reports that are due on September 30th of each year.

The First Amendment will add a reserve policy to Sections 3.02, 3.03, and 3.04 of the Agreement, as well as administrative changes to Section 2.06 that will allow a redistribution of cost allocations between VFWD and the City.

Membership fees are based on the percentage of the population of each city of the Solano permittees.

Although the City and VFWD share the Stormwater permit, VFWD was paying 24% and the City was paying 20% of the share of costs for the Solano Stormwater Alliance. The proposed amendment will change the fees to 22% for both VFWD and the City, which is fair since VFWD and the City share the Stormwater permit.

FISCAL IMPACT
Stormwater expenses are primarily programmatic rather than project-related, and there is currently no dedicated funding mechanism to cover the majority of these costs. As a result, the General Fund has been supporting these expenditures. Costs associated with the Solano Stormwater Alliance program are allocated among participating agencies based on population. The City’s annual membership fee is based on the City's percentage of the total population within the parties' combined areas. Under the proposed adjustment to the cost-sharing formula—from 20% to 22%—the City’s contribution will increase slightly to an estimated $121,000 annually.

Approval of the First Amendment will have no impact on the costs of compliance with any other stormwater mandates of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378(b)(5).

CONSENT CALENDAR 8.H.

DATE: September 9, 2025
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Alicia M. Jones, Housing Director
SUBJECT: PROVIDE NOTICE OF INTENT TO AMEND THE HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS ("HOME") PROGRAM BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 BY APPROPRIATING $741,000 FOR THE TENANT-BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (STEP 1 OF 2)

RECOMMENDATION
Provide a notice of intent to amend the HOME Program Budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 by appropriating $741,000 for the Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) Program.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Amending the budget requires a public notice of intent (step 1 of 2) under the City's Charter Section 703 prior to any action taken. A staff report and recommendation to amend the budget (step 2 of 2) will be presented to the City Council at the next regularly-scheduled City Council meeting.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On July 8, 2025, the City Council approved HOME Program activities for FY 2025-26 (period beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2026), which include the Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) Program. The majority of the funding for the TBRA Program will come from unspent HOME funds from prior fiscal years.

This item was reviewed by the Housing & Community Development Commission on September 4, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT
As these are federal funds, there would be no fiscal impact on the City of Vallejo's General Fund.

Staff is providing a notice of intent to amend the FY 2025-26 HOME Program Budget. A future recommended action to amend the budget will include the anticipated fiscal impact associated with the recommended budget change in the amount of $741,000.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING A SIDE LETTER AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE

CITY OF VALLEJO AND THE INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS (IBEW), LOCAL 1245, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO

EXECUTE THE SAME

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving a Side Letter Agreement between the City of Vallejo and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 1245, and authorize the City Manager to execute the same.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Due to staffing issues in the Water Treatment Plants, there are an inadequate number of Water Treatment Plant Operators to staff shifts appropriately. Offering double-overtime for all overtime hours worked as we work collaboratively to address the remaining vacancies will help ensure adequate staffing.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On December 17, 2024, City Council approved a Side Letter Agreement between the City and IBEW to allow regular, full-time Water Treatment Plant Operators, Senior Water Treatment Plant Operators, and Water Treatment Plant Supervisors to receive double-time for all overtime hours worked, effective December 28, 2024 through June 27, 2025.

Leading up to that, Human Resources conducted a review of the WTPO classification series, as well as those in our comparable agencies. It was determined that there were some certifications in our classification specifications that were required at the time of hire that, in reality, were not necessary at the time of hire, but rather within the first year of employment. This is because the Water Department provides the training and certifications. By requiring the certifications at the time of hire, we were requiring more than our comparable agencies, and limiting our candidate pool.

Human Resources took the Water Treatment Plant Operator classification series to the Civil Service Commission to revise the classification specifications for the series to instead reflect that the certifications must be obtained within the first 12 months of employment (and maintained thereafter). Recruitment efforts following these changes have improved, and we anticipate that they will continue to improve. To date, we have filled all of our WTPO vacancies; we have 5 remaining Senior WTPO vacancies, and one WTP Supervisor vacancy. As Human Resources and the Water Department continue to work together to find ways to address staffing in the Water Treatment Plants, staff have to work overtime to ensure adequate staffing. Offering double-overtime for all overtime hours worked will help ensure the Water Department can staff those shifts.

The City and IBEW met and conferred in good faith and agreed to extend this agreement to allow regular, fulltime Water Treatment Plant Operators, Senior Water Treatment Plant Operators, and Water Treatment Plant Supervisors to receive double-overtime for all overtime hours worked, effective the first full pay period following Council adoption, September 20, 2025 through December 26, 2025.

Subject: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING A SIDE LETTER AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE

CITY OF VALLEJO AND THE INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF
ELECTRICAL WORKERS (IBEW), LOCAL 1245, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY

MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE SAME

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed increase of overtime pay from 1.5 to double time for all overtime hours worked by Water Treatment Plant Operators ($21.38- $25.98 per hour) , Senior Water Treatment Plant Operators ($22.46- $27.30 per hour), and Water Plant Operator Supervisors ($24.79-$30.14) for the period covering 09/20/25 through 12/26/2025 is anticipated to have a variable fiscal impact, depending on the number of overtime hours worked to address staffing shortages. At this time, it is estimated that the fiscal impact of this proposed item can be absorbed within the existing Salaries and Benefit budget of the Water Department due to current vacant savings.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VALLEJO

APPROVING NINE PURCHASE AGREEMENTS WITH NINE SEPARATE VENDORS TO

SUPPLY WATER TREATMENT CHEMICALS, EACH WITH A NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT OF LESS THAN $530,000, FOR A CUMULATIVE TOTAL AMONG ALL VENDORS OF A NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT OF $2,224,881 AND AUTHORIZING THE

CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE SAME

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution of the City Council of the City of Vallejo approving nine purchase agreements with nine separate vendors to supply water treatment chemicals, each with a not-to-exceed amount of less than $530,000, for a cumulative total among all vendors of a not-to-exceed amount of $2,224,881 and authorizing the City Manager to execute the same.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The treatment of source water to meet required compliance standards for drinking-water requires the use of multiple chemicals in the City’s three water treatment plants. The Water Department must make significant operational purchases of these chemicals during the fiscal year. The City's participation in the North Bay Agency Chemical Pool (NBACP) has provided volume pricing for all standard water-treatment chemicals. (Chemicals identified as specialty chemicals unique to a participating agency’s treatment process are excluded.) In the event of unforeseen emergency impacts, the City Manager's Council-approved contract negotiation authority will be utilized to avoid interruption in the supply of chemicals.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Since 1995, the City of Vallejo has participated in the North Bay Agency Chemical Pool (NBACP) for the procurement of water treatment chemical supplies. The Vallejo Municipal Code section 3.20.080c authorizes purchases of supplies through contracts from other public agencies and cooperative purchasing agreements where it is advantageous to the City. Participation in the NBACP allows the City and participating agencies to purchase chemicals through a formal bid process that facilitates competitive high-volume pricing (at higher supply volume with competitive results) that is lower than what the City and participants could obtain in individual procurement processes. For fiscal year (FY) 2025-26, in addition to the City of Vallejo, the following agencies are NBACP participants: American Canyon, Benicia, Calistoga, Davis, Fairfield, Napa, Petaluma, Saint Helena, Solano Irrigation District, City of West Sacramento, Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District, and Yountville. Every two years, responsibility for coordination of NBACP bids rotates to a different participating agency. The City of West Sacramento coordinated the bids for this fiscal year.

NBACP issued Invitation for Bids on April 3, 2024, and the following bids for the supply of chemicals for water treatment were received and awarded:

1. Aluminum Sulfate
Chemtrade Chemicals US, LLC, Parsippany, NJ $ 372.00 per dry ton

Specialty Chemicals:

In addition to the NBACP process, the City purchases specialty chemicals that are available from limited sources and for which there is no adequate substitute, as provided in Section 3.20.060(A)(2) - Competitive Purchasing Section – Exemptions. As such, the City has existing contracts for the supply of the following chemicals for water treatment for fiscal year (FY) 2024-25. The proposed contracts will permit the purchasing of these specialty chemicals through June 30, 2026 (all chemical agreements have an option to extend through September 30, 2026, pending negotiation and Council action) of FY 2026-27 Agreements, to allow for continuous water treatment operations.

pound

3. Cationic Polymer (CAT-FLOC 8102 PLUS)

FISCAL IMPACT
The North Bay Agency Chemical Pool’s Chemical Supply bids use anticipated quantities to obtain unit prices.

The City’s actual chemical quantity needs are dependent on the dosages required to treat seasonally variant source water quality in compliance with State and Federal Environmental Protection Agency requirements.

Pricing and supply chain availability has been impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 situation; accordingly, the chemical agreements' not-to-exceed amounts have been increased in anticipation of these fluctuations, as well as to cover taxes and fuel surcharges.

CHEMICAL SUPPLIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Chemical Supplies Purchase Agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered into this 1st day of July 2025, by and between the City of Vallejo, a municipal corporation ("City"), and Brenntag Pacific, Inc., a Delaware corporation, hereinafter referred to as “Vendor,” who agree as follows:
