2 Hello Fellow Conference Goers. As Board Chair, let me be one of the first to formally welcome you to the CALACT 2022 Spring Conference in beautiful Newport Beach. Nestled among golden stretches of pristine Pacific coastline, Newport epitomizes the casually sophisticated lifestyle of Southern California.
If you are planning any extra time to sightsee, you won’t want to miss places like historic Crystal Cove, a federally listed historic district, featuring an enclave of forty-six vintage coastal cottages originally built as a seaside colony in the 1930s and 1940s.
Newport Beach is part of a rich transit history here in Southern California. The Pacific Electric, created in 1901 and known by its nickname the Red Cars, was a privately owned mass transit system consisting of electrically powered streetcars, interurban cars, and buses, and was the largest electric railway system in the world by the 1920s.
Organized around the city centers of Los Angeles and San Bernardino, it connected cities in Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino County, and Riverside County…. including Newport Beach!
For those who are big shoppers, the hotel is located right next to Fashion Island which is a phenomenal outdoor plaza. The hotel is also near SOL Mexican Cocina which is very good and Seabirds in Costa Mesa which has a killer avocado taco. You can also take a nice, long walk to historic Balboa Island or you could take transit, Uber, or Lyft.
The Conference Committee has created a program packed with critical information from experienced experts that will energize and inspire you.
We would not be able to offer this conference experience without the generous help of our sponsors including Transdev, Connexionz, First Transit, Luminator Technology, GreenPower Motor Company, Creative Bus Sales, Gillig, United Survivability & Safety Corp, Q'Straint/Sure-Lok, A-Z Bus Sales, Lightning eMotors, GMV, Master's Transportation, Ecolane, Decals by Design, and Freedman Seating. Also, thanks to our session presenters and moderators who generously share their time, expertise, and talent. Finally, kudos to the CALACT staff and Conference Committee who labored untold hours to bring each of us a Conference which looks to be an impressive gathering with a great vibe.
A special thank you to our host, Anaheim Transportation Network (ATN), for their support of this Spring Conference.
Regards,
Omar McPherson
CALACT Board Chair,
San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority Operations Manager

3 On behalf of the California Association for Coordinated Transportation (CALACT,) we appreciate your participation in the 2022 CALACT Spring Conference & Expo and welcome you to beautiful Newport Beach. We hope that you enjoy the exciting and interesting educational program put together by the CALACT Conference Committee. CALACT is excited to come back to the Southern California coastline of Orange County to learn, network, and have fun.
TRANSIT: Connecting Communities - Improving Access, Equity, and Mobility focuses on the role transit plays in each of our communities and the continuous strengthening of values that shape our industry. As transit continues to evolve into the future, it continues to help build community resilience and enhance the quality of life among riders. Transit’s role in California’s mobility landscape is evermore significant as it seeks to improve air quality, congestion, and equitable access to environmentally sound mobility options. During the conference, the educational series will explore the ways in which transportation has become even more critical at a regional and statewide level.
The Conference kicks off on Tuesday with a hands-on exercise to develop your Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) plan followed by Zero Emission Program Basics which will provide an overview to help participants understand the essentials of Zero Emission Bus deployment. The conference continues Wednesday morning with a keynote address from George Carroll who will provide insight into his own experiences that lead him to positively affirm his valuation of life circumstances and how attendees can best tackle life’s peaks and valleys at both a personal and professional level.

4:30 p.m. I mproving Your Riders’ Choices - Introducing New Technology for Customers:
Determining Rider Needs, Ensuring Equity with New Technology, and g athering feedback after Launch
Agencies are introducing new technology (mobile apps, on-line features, etc.) that improve a rider’s ability to access their service, while also potentially reducing pressure on agency staff often needing to respond to rider questions or concerns.
Along with these improvements, there are sometimes challenges that must be considered with new innovations: What services are most desired by (and will be used by) riders? Once introduced, are users able to use it easily or does the new technology need some improvements? And how can the new services be introduced in such a way that it is done equitably, and how new services are accessible to all who want it.
This session will discuss how technology changes how agencies interface with riders and the public, and what considerations need be part of the design-phase of new technology to ensure equity in a deployment. This session will not only focus on some recent technology rollouts, but also the challenges and successes of how riders are kept informed throughout the deployment process. The session will also discuss how an agency collects information on new technology services after the launch to determine customer satisfaction and to address any needs to improve, through built-in mobile app surveys and the results of a focused customer satisfaction survey.

This session will tell the story of four different transit alliances that were formed with a shared interest or challenge. Key questions addressed will include: How did the alliance start? What is its common vision or goal? What makes the alliance work? These stories include:
• “Far North” rural transit agencies met weekly during the pandemic to discuss how to protect drivers and passengers. Their focus expanded to coordinating schedules and implementing zero emission buses and infrastructure. This Far North Group has continued to meet and coordinate on critical issues. • The Central Valley Transit Managers includes public transit operators in the Central San Joaquin Valley. Established as a loose working group to provide each other with technical assistance, they continue to meet informally to share information and knowledge on other timely topics. • The Alliance of Local Transit Operators includes over 40 locally funded agencies in Los Angeles County. This group initially formed to advocate that COVID relief funds be allocated to them by LA Metro and continues to meet to address other shared issues.
• The North American Transit Alliance (NATA) was formed during the pandemic by the six largest private transit contracting firms in the US (First Transit, Keolis, MV, National Express, RATP Dev and Transdev) to advocate for access to COVID funding. NATA continues to set aside competition to collaborate on industry-wide challenges.

11:00 a.m. OCTA’s Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Bus Operation Tour Santa Ana, CA Please join us to learn more about OCTA’s hydrogen fuel-cell electric bus pilot program. OCTA is a leader in testing Zero Emission Bus technology. The hydrogen fuel-cell electric bus program is just one component of OCTA’s efforts to develop a balanced and sustainable transportation system that will help bring even cleaner air quality to Orange County.
OCTA began operating 10, 40-foot hydrogen fuel-cell electric buses in early 2020. The buses are deployed on regular OCTA bus routes within disadvantaged communities in Orange County.
The buses are fueled at OCTA’s Santa Ana bus base. OCTA’s hydrogen fueling station is the largest in the nation for public transportation. In addition to its hydrogen fuel-cell electric bus pilot program, OCTA will also be testing 10 plug-in battery-electric buses in the coming months.
OCTA’s efforts align with California’s Innovative Clean Transit Rule, a first-of-its kind regulation in the U.S. that sets a goal for public transit agencies to gradually transition to 100 percent Zero Emission Bus fleets by 2040. The Innovative Clean Transit Rule is part of the state’s comprehensive program helping to achieve California’s air quality and climate goals.
11:15 a.m. Break sponsored by GMV
11:30 p.m. Connecting Riders Through Mobility-On-Demand As transportation expectations change and technology evolves, public transit a gencies will have to continue to adapt and adopt new service provision models.
Passenger expectations, the increasing number of mobility options and constrained agency budgets also continue to apply pressure to agency decisions makers and e ncourage them to explore more flexible service models to meet the needs of the communities and constituents they serve. In many instances, transit agencies 38 of 164
19 have opted to partner with Transportation Network Companies to assist them in developing and operating on-demand transportation models. Typical use cases include first and last-mile connections, peak/off-peak service, late-night rides, paratransit, micro transit, and inefficient bus route replacement programs. Through the partnership process, they have brought greater connections to fixed route riders and spontaneity to paratransit riders. During this session, the panelists will discuss the particular partnerships and models which their agencies have pursued in addition to operating in-house services.
Speakers: Sean Tiedgen, Shasta Regional Transit Authority; Jim Appleby, Anaheim Transportation Network; Aaron Moore, Omnitrans
Moderator: Chris Ackerman, Victor Valley Transit Authority
11:30 a.m. Strengthening Equity in Your Community Through Relationships with Disadvantaged Businesses (DBEs)
This session will include information on what a “good faith effort” is when it comes to trying to procure goods and services through Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs). Focus will be on effective strategies on how to find DBEs, how to engage them as part of your procurement process, and how this partnership helps ensure equity and bring a sense of “being a part of” the community as a whole.
Speakers: Laura Foster, Orange County Transportation Authority; Keith Compton, LA Metro
Moderator: Kimberly Turner, Kimberly Turner Consulting
11:30 a.m. State Consolidated Funding Application

The programs covered by the consolidated applications are: 5311/5311f, 5310, 5339, LCTOP, TIRCP and SGR funding. This session will review how to complete the application and enter the application data into the Blackcat grants management system.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing Submission of an Application for Federal Funding Under FTA Section 5311 (49 U.S.C. Section 5311) and the Execution of a Standard Agreement with the California Department of Transportation, Division of Rail and Mass Transportation
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council approve a resolution of the City Council of the City of Wasco authorizing the submission of an application for federal funding under FTA Section 5311 (49 U.S.C. Section 5311) and the execution of a standard agreement with the California Department of Transportation, Division of Rail and Mass Transportation.
Discussion:
FTA Section 5311 provides supplemental funding for public transit in non-urbanized areas which have populations of fewer than 50,000 residents. Funds are apportioned based on the size of the population and will be used to fund Transit Operations such as labor, supplies, fuel, etc.
The number of funds apportioned to the City of Wasco is a two-year figure (FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24). The City of Wasco’s FY 20 22-2023 and FY 2023 -2024 FTA Section 5311 apportionment is $ 254,434.00. Funding split: 44.67% Local Share and 55.33% Federal Share.
The purpose of this resolution is to authorize the receipt of the federal funds and execution of a standard agreement for the Fiscal Year 20 22-2023 and Fiscal Year 2023 -2024. The FTA 5311 applications are due back to Caltrans via the BlackCat program no later than April 29, 2022.
STAFF REPORT

Fiscal Impact:
FTA Section 5311 apportionment will be used to fund Transit Operations for the next two years, and the local share requirement will be covered by Transportation Development Act (TDA) and State Transit Assistance (STAF) funds.

Land Use and Zoning - Who is Making the Decisions?
For the last several years, the amount of housing legislation has increased, while the affordability gap continues to widen. Despite the flurry of new regulations, the trend of more expensive housing doesn’t seem to be slowing. Seemingly, a constant with the laws is an erosion of your ability to make decisions on new housing projects. You are frustrated, the public is frightened, and developers are often confused.
Despite appearances, all is not lost. There are still ways you can guide development and make sure what is built fits your community. This session will focus on practical solutions and methods of using your General Plan, zoning, and even CEQA to ensure that new
developments suit your community.

Then this is exactly where you should be. This session is geared towards high performers leading busy, hectic lives, but who sense there’s something “more” they could be doing with their days.

Presentation Guidelines
Our goal is to provide exceptional educational experiences, networking opportunities, and innovative tools that will make attendees and their cities more successful. Studies show that adults learn best when they are actively involved in the process rather than passively listening or watching. Most conference attendees are knowledgeable about the subject, and therefore are interested in hearing what others know and what their experiences have been.
Accordingly, we urge you
to plan your presentation with these suggestions in
mind.
The most common complaints on session evaluations from prior conferences are:
"The presentation was a 'sales' pitch for a particular product or service." "I couldn't read the slides."
"One speaker took so much time that the others were not able to give their full presentations."
"I'd like more practical knowledge."
Please consider the following as you prepare for your presentation:
Relevant content for experienced audiences that stretches thinking and provides new approaches.

3/30/22, 9:17 AM City Leaders Summit | Cal Cities
https://www.calcities.org/detail-pages/event/2022/05/11/default-calendar/city-leaders-summit 14/17 Content that is delivered in an engaging way and draws on the experience of the attendees.
Examples and case studies of real success (and successful failures).
Try to add stories, anecdotes, testimonials, or demonstrations that emphasize your point. We all remember a good story, and thus more easily the lesson with it.
Provide tools and information that the audience can implement.
If there are other speakers in your session, coordinate with them in advance to decide your speaking order and ensure that all presentations fit into the assigned time allotment. If you do not have the contact information for your co-presenters, please contact us at [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) .
Selling from the podium creates conflict of interest problems. Education sessions at the City Leaders Summit should never be an advertisement.
Therefore, presentations may not include any commercialism for specific products or consulting services.
Submitting Your Session Materials
Presentation materials are an important element of Cal Cities educational programs. Please submit your presentation in either a Microsoft-friendly format or as a .pdf file no later than Monday, May 2.
It is Cal Cities' goal to make a positive impact on the environment by integrating environmental considerations into all seminars. Some things to keep in mind are:

The Department needs to replace three trucks within the next two Fiscal Years. This purchase would be the first of those three trucks. The replacement truck will be a ¾ ton truck that will allow the hauling of trailers and various equipment including the dustless blaster, crack sealer, and pressure washer. the City of Wasco received Three Quotes from the following Vendors:
BID TOTAL
Motor City Buick GMC $ 44,686.46

DATE: April 05, 2022
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to enter into a Lease Agreement with Quadient Leasing for a Postage Machine. _____________________________________________________________________________________
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager or Designee to enter into a lease agreement with Quan dient Leasing for a Postage Machine.
Discussion:
The City of Wasco has leased a postage machine from Quadient since 2010. The machine has served its useful life and must be replaced with a modern model. Normally upgrading to newer models results in additional cost, but in this case , the City of Wasco will not be charged for the replacement of an archaic stamp machine.
The city pays $370 quarterly on the current lease. The revised lease will cost the city $292.50 per quarter, representing a 26.49% decrease.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact will be a net saving of $77.50 per quarter or approximately $310.00 annually.

Tom Schroeter, City Attorney
Maria O. Martinez, City Clerk
DATE: April 5, 2022
SUBJECT: R edistricting – Public Hearing No. 4 Adopt and Waive the Second Reading of an Ordinance of the City of Wasco Amending Chapter 2.09 (Elections) of the Wasco Municipal Code replacing the Council District Map.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council to:
1. Receive Report from City Manager and FLO Consultant.
2. Conduct a public hearing to receive public input on district boundaries
3. Adopt and waive the Second reading by title only, of an Ordinance amending Chapter 2.09 (elections) of the Wasco Municipal Code and replacing the Council District Map.
Background:
Pursuant to Election Code section 21601, cities with by- district election systems must redraw their district boundary maps to ensure compliance with the California and Federal Voting Rights Acts. The process to complete the redistricting requires a minimum of four public hearings and dedicated public outreach to ensure minority populations and communities of interest are aware of the redistricting effort an d are provided with options to participate.
Every ten (10) years, cities with by-district election systems must use new census data to review and, if needed, redraw district lines to reflect how local populations have changed. This process, called redistricting, ensures all districts have a nearly equal population. The redistricting process for the City of Wasco must be completed by April 17, 2022.
The City of Wasco adopted its current district boundaries in 2018, based on 2010 census data as required by law. The districts must now be redrawn using the 2020 census data and in compliance with the FAIR MAPS Act, which was adopted by the California legislature as AB 849 and took effect January 1, 2020.
Under the Act, the City Council shall draw and adopt boun daries using the following criteria in the listed order of priority (Elections Code 21621(c)):
STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco
96 of 164
1. Comply with the federal requirements of equal population and the Voting Rights Act.
2. Be geographically contiguous
3. Undivided neighborhoods and “communities of interest” (socio-economic geographic areas that should be kept together)
4. Display easily identifiable boundaries
5 Be compact (do not bypass one group of people to get to a more distant group of people)
6. Shall not favor or discriminate against a political party
By law, the City must hold at least four public hearings that enable community members to provide input on the drawing of district maps:
• At least one hearing must occur before the city or county draws draft maps • At least two hearings must happen after the drawing of draft maps • The fourth hearing can happen either before or after the drawing of draft maps • City staff may hold a public workshop instead of one of the required public redistricting hearings
To increase the accessibility of these hearings, cities, and counties must take the following steps:
• At least one hearing must occur on a Saturday, Sunday, or after 6:00 p.m. on a weekday
• If a redistricting hearing is consolidated with another local government meeting, the redistricting hearing must begin at a pre-designated time • Local public redistricting hearings must be made accessible to people with disabilities
An Analysis of the City’s current district boundaries, adjusted for the 2020 Census data, shows the districts are no longer population-balanced. The total population is 22,795.
Determining population balance is done by measuring the spread, or deviation, between the least populated district and the greatest populated district. Deviations of 10% or less are generally considered acceptable under the U.S. Supreme Court rulings on equal protection.
97 of 164
The purpose of this public hearing is to review draft maps and to inform and to hear from the community on factors that must be taken into consideration for district boundaries .
The public is requested to provide input regarding communities of interest and other local factors that should be considered for district maps.
During the first public hearing on March 1, 2022, t he consultant introduced the online mapping tool for the public to submit their own draft maps by March 17, 2022, which were analyzed for population balance and other required criteria as outlined below.
On the second public hearing on March 22, 2022, the consultant presented fi ve draft maps and informed the Council that a sixth draft map was submitted after the deadline.
The consultant asked the Council for their consideration of accepting the submittal due to its low deviation of population per district. The City Council accepted the presentation of all six (6) draft maps and selected three (3) final draft maps, numbers 4, 5, and 6 to be presented at the third public hearing.
On the third public hearing on March 29, 2022 , the consultant presented the three(3) Council’s preferred draft maps number 4, 5, and 6. Each City Council member selected their preferred map and numinously agreed on map number 6 as the preferred map.
Discussion:
At tonight’s hearing, the City’s redistricting consultant will present draft map number 6, selected by the City Council with accompanying summary statistics for the City Council’s consideration and input.
Following the staff’s presentation and the public hearing, the City Council should consider adopting the ordinance with the final map to ensure that the adopted final district map is submitted before the deadline of April 17, 2022, to the Kern County Election Office. This Ordinance shall take effect immediately after its adoption pursuant to Government Code Section 36937(a).
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. No budget action is required.

In September of 2020 when City Staff asked for a status update on plans for a required water line relocation, Staff received communication from the project engineer’s office that some things were being coordinated and worked out between the developer and owner and they were waiting for direction. Staff stopped receiving communication and plan check submittals on this project shortly thereafter.
In February, 2021 the applicant , Anthony Olivieri, submitted a request for a one- year extension. On March 2, 2021, the Planning Commission approved this request. There was no activity on this project, and City Staff did not receive any updates or communication on this project until February of this year when the applicant requested an additional one-year extension.
On March 14, 2022 the Planning Commission heard the applicant’s request for extension.
The applicant was not in attendance at the meeting. The Planning Commission denied the exte nsion request , citing 3 years as an adequate amount of time to begin construction on this project.
Discussion:
Despite there being no activity on this project for nearly a year and a half, Planning Staff initially supported the applicant’s request for a final one -year extension based on the Planning Commission’s previous actions to approve the original project and a subsequent one-year extension.
However, Staff believes that the Planning Commission’s denial based on their position that 3 years is adequate time to begin construction on this project is reasonable and fair.
If the City Council upholds the Planning Commission’s denial of the extension request, the owner could apply for a new Conditional Use Permit if and when he had a client ready to build on this site . A new Conditional Use Permit application would cost $3,140 and take approximately 90-120 days to process.
Fiscal Impact:
No direct Fiscal Impact to the City of Wasco

RE: Appeal on denied Extension for Conditional Use Permit 18‐06 Pending 7‐Eleven/Gas Station Development
1300 Highway 46
Wasco, CA
To Whom It May Concern:
We were informed earlier this week, the City of Wasco Plannin g Commission denied our request for a
one (1) year extension of Conditional Use Permit 18‐06. This is very unfortunate given the time and expense we have incurred in connection with this property. Due to circumstances outside of our control, the planned client for this site experienced internal delays, primarily du e to COVID 19 and a very large national acquisition they were involved with. These two events essentially stopped progress on all new developments. As a result of these delays, we have diligently been pursing alternative gas station users that could be a possible replacement for 7‐Eleven. As of three weeks ago , there is now interest in the site from another nationally recognized gas station/convenience store operator. To successfully complete a transaction with this prospective client, we must have all entitlements that were granted under CUP 18‐06.
Unfortunately, someone from our organization was unable to attend the City Pl anning Commission
meeting to present these facts in person. However, for us to successfully pursue a gas station development for the subject property an extension of CUP 18‐06 is required.
As previously stated in the letter I issued for the last extension, we as developers/owners of this site, entered a ground le
ase with 7‐Eleven, wherein we were obligated to deliver the site in roughly the condition it is currently in. The Tenant, 7‐Eleven, would be responsible for processing all building permits for construction. Due to the reasons stated above, 7‐Eleven was unable to process their building plans, theref ore permits were not pursued and no site construction could be performed.
105 of 164
Based on our current level of interest in the site, we anticipate either 7‐Eleven will reengage and proceed with their development plans, or a new Tenant will take their place within the next twelve months.
Our appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision is based on consideration that without the entitlements granted un der CUP 18‐06, it will significantly and adversely affect our ability to develop this site in the near term and greatly impact the property’s value. Our office has diligently been working to develop this property for over 3 years. We have incurred a great deal of expense in the process. Limiti ng our ability to develop the site for a gas station use, as allowed under CUP 18‐06, will have dire financial consequences.
Please let me know if I can assist with answering any questions related to the appeal of the Planning Commission’s denial for a one year extension of CUP 18‐06.

RE: Conditional Use Permit 18-06
Pending 7-Eleven Development
1300 Highway 46
Wasco, CA
To Whom It May Concern:
We are kindly requesting a one (1) year extension for the above referenced Conditional Use Permit which was granted on February 11, 2019.
Project History- In August of 2019, the applicant and 7-Eleven, Inc. ("SEI"} entered into a ground lease on the subject property. SEI was responsible for the design of all improvements, including grading, vertical construction of the convenience store and fuel island, signs, and landscape modifications.
Throughout most of 2020, SEI submitted plans for most of these items and has completed design documents for all items, including the fuel island.
Project Status - Currently, ownership is working on renegotiating the ground lease to a build to suit lease with SEI. We are also in talks with a few other gas station users as well.
Please let me know if I can assist with answering any questions related to the request for the CUP extension.
Best Regards,
Anthony Olivieri

Discussion:
The City Council had previously approved the Executive Assistant II position under range 6 within the Mid-Management Exempt Salary Schedule. The City Council approved the Salary Schedule for the 2021 - 2022 Fiscal Year as outlined by the Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) Government Code (GC) sections 20636 and 20636.1, which define compensation earnable for State, School, and Public Agency members. Section 570.5 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) further clarified compensation earnable on July 6th, 2021.
With the review of the functions and resp onsivities associated with the position , it was proposed to reorganize and retitle the Executive Assistant II position to that of Administrative Manager. The Administrative Manager will be under range 18 within the Mid-Management Exempt Salary Schedule. The Administrative Manager performs highly responsible professional administrative liaison, staff, and managerial work in carrying out a wide variety of activities relating to organizing, coordinating, and implementing management projects at the direction of the City Manager.
