TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager
Maria O. Martinez, City Clerk

DATE: December 20, 2022

SUBJECT: Appointment of Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the new procedure for the appointment of the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore, and authorize appropriate updates to the City Council Handbook.

Discussion:

On October 3, 2017, the City Council adopted a Resolution approving the City Council orientation manual for elected and appointed officials. The manual states the procedure for how the election of the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore is conducted.

Election of Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore: The City Council selects the Mayor and the Mayor Pro Tem.

Following a general election, at the first regular City Council Meeting of City Council members elected at such election and upon presentation by the County of the certified election results, or no later than the second regularly scheduled meeting in December following the election, the City Council will select from among its members a Mayor and a Mayor Pro Tempore to serve for a term of one year. In years where an election is not held, the City Council will select from among its members a Mayor and a Mayor Pro Tempore to serve for a term of one year. The election of the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore will take place as follows:
1) The then current Mayor will conduct the election for the office of Mayor. 2) The following the election, the City Clerk will turn over the gavel to the newly elected Mayor, who will then conduct the election for the office of Mayor
Pro Tempore.

Staff is recommending changes to these procedures for an efficient and transparent process. Changes as follow:

After oaths are administered, the Mayor will relinquish the gavel to the City Clerk, who will preside over the meeting until the Mayor is selected. The Clerk will take nominations for the office of Mayor. If only one (1) name is nominated, a roll-call vote will be taken, and Council Members should respond either Yeah or Nay. If two (2) or more names are nominated, a roll-call vote will be taken , and each Council Member should name their

choice for Mayor. This will continue until one (1) Council Member has a clear majority of the body and is declared Mayor.

Upon selection of the Mayor, the Clerk will relinquish the gavel to the newly selected Mayor, and the Council will then select a Mayor Pro Tempore using the same method.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager
Isarel Perez-Hernandez, Finance Director

DATE: December 20, 2022

SUBJECT: Receive and File the First Quarter Financial Report ended September 30, 2022.

Recommendation:

Receive and file an update on the status of the current financial position for the first Quarter of the Fiscal Year 2022-23.

Background:

The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), is an organization that was established to assist in the professional management of governments by developing and identifying financial policies and best practices through education, training, facilitatio n of member leadership, and networking.

GFOA released a publication on financial reporting best practices stating that financial reporting’s should be issued at a minimum “quarterly…to ensure the ongoing completeness and accuracy of the data is correct. T his process should include appropriate reconciliations to identify adjustments, as well as financial analysis of interim management reports to identify anomalous or incomplete data to be corrected.” As such, in order for the information to be considered timely and useful by readers to make informed decisions.

Discussion:

The accompanying quarter financial report for 2022-23 (Attachment 1) provides a high- level overview of the City’s Financial Condition from July 01, 202 2, thru September 30, 2022. While th e fiscal year 2021 -2022 audit is not yet complete for the quarter being reported, we believe the beginning fund and working capital balances presented in this report are reasonable and not likely to change significantly. The revenue projections and budgets have been updated to reflect adjustments for capital improvement program carryovers and any supplemental appropriations made by the Council as of September 30, 2022.

The reports in (Attachment A) are broken down into the following sections:

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW BY FUND THROUGH September 2022

This report summarizes the City’s financial position for the fiscal year through September 30, 2022, representing 25% of the fiscal year. While the fiscal year 2021- 2022 audit is not yet complete during the reporting period, we believe the beginning fund and working capital balances presented in this report are reasonable and not likely to change significantly. The r evenue projections and budgets have been updated to reflect adjustments for capital improvement program carryovers and any supplemental appropriations made by the Council as of September 30, 2022.

GENERAL FUND

Based on interim results, General Fund Revenues are at 2% of the projections, operating expenditures are at 16% and minimal capital expenditures have been incurred to date.

The significant variance in revenues and capital expenditures is primarily due to the grant funded capital projects that have y et to commence. The most noteworthy capital project is the former farm labor complex demolition and site clean-up which is estimated at $9,300,000. The city will not proceed with this project until the related agreements have been executed with the rail authority. The remaining significant variance in operating expenditures is primarily due to staffing vacancies in the General Fund. The significant variances in revenues will be described in detail in the “Top Ten General Fund Revenues” section.

General Fund Top Revenues Year Over Year Comparison

Top Ten General Fund Revenues
Our top ten revenues account for approximately 92% of total General Fund revenues. By focusing on these, we can get an excellent understanding of our revenue position.

General and Motor Vehicle License Fee. The first major apportionment of 202 2-23 taxes will not occur until December 2022.

Sales Tax (General and Measure X). The City has only received one monthly payment from the State of California for fiscal year 2022-23 as of September 30, 2022.

Franchise Tax. Currently, the City collects from four companies: Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), Charter Communications, Southern California Gas (SoCal Gas) and American Refuse. We will not receive the largest components of our franchise fee revenues (Payments from PG&E and SoCal Gas) until April 2023.

Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). Visitors to Wasco who stay in the City’s hotels, motels and inns for a period of less than thirty consecutive calendar days pay TOT. Quarterly TOT payments are due within 30 days after the end of the quarter. We have yet to receive any quarterly TOT payments as of the date of this report.

Grants. As noted above, the significant negative variance between budgeted and actual grant revenues is primarily due to the negotiated agreements with the rail authority relating to the $9,300,000. (This also explains why year -to-date actual CIP expenditures are much lower than the budget.) The City will not proceed with this project until agreements have been executed. In addition, several grant-funded capital projects were budgeted in the current fiscal year, but have yet to reach a shovel-ready phase.

Charges for Services. This revenue is mainly comprised of fees for planning, building and engineering services, and permits. We will continue to monitor these revenues as they appear to be performing higher than projections.

General Fund Operating Expenditures

Expenditures are trending steadily primarily due to staffing vacancies being filled.

General Fund Transfers

General Fund Transfers In/Out are comprised of internal service charges and general operating transfers as summarized below:

Operating Transfers. These transfers are comprised of revenues from other funds that are used to offset staffing, equipment and CIP project costs. The negative variance when compared to budgeted figures is primarily due to the timing of capital project expenditures.

ENTERPRISE FUNDS

In general, the major enterprise fund revenues are consistent with past trends.

Expenditures, however, are far below estimates primarily due to the timing of capital project expenditures.

Join the Mayors and Council Members Department executive committee for an informal coffee chat before the conference begins.

With constant advancements in social media over the last several years, it can be hard to keep up with the “do’s and don’ts” of every platform. Moreover, as misinformation increases, elected officials need to be quick on their feet and have the necessary skills to proactively manage public perceptions about local governmental affairs. Discover what cities should be doing to communicate with their constituents in the 21st century, and the rules that elected officials must follow.

From Dangerous Discourse to Extraordinary Engagement: Changing the Conversation on Inclusion
11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m.

Diversity is a fact: Inclusion is a choice and often, an expectation. It is important to take a good, hard, long look at how we are doing business and truthfully examine how to do business better. As elected officials, it is incumbent upon us to ask and effectively answer two questions: "Who else needs to be included in our conversations?" and "How can we effectively engage them?" This session will give you a personal lens into conversations around diversity, equity, and inclusion, and will equip you with specific strategies for more inclusive business practices.

Presentation Guidelines and Submission 
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 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 seminars are:
"The presentation was a 'sales' pitch for a particular product or service." 95of 129
12/14/22, 1:57 PM New Mayors and Council Members Academy | Cal Cities https://www.calcities.org/education-and-events/event/2023/01/18/default-calendar/new-mayors-and-council-members-academy-2023 63/66 "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.

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.

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF WASCO

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager
Isarel Perez-Hernandez, Finance Director

DATE: December 20, 2022

SUBJECT: Receive and File the Investment Report for the month ended November 30, 2022.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Investment Report for the month ending November 30, 2022.

Background:

This report is prepared and presented to the City Manager and City Council pursuant to the City’s Investment Policy requirements and the California Government Code. The City’s investment policy requires the Treasurer or Chief Fiscal Officer to render monthly investment reports to the City Manager and the City Council and requires certain information about the City’s investments to be presented in the report and that the report contains statements that:
1) The City is in compliance with its investment policy; and 2) The City is able to meet its expenditure requirements for the following six (6) months or provide an explanation of why sufficient funds will or may not be available.

The City’s investment strategy continues to prioritize its investment opportunities on the following, in order of importance:
1) Safety;
2) Liquidity; and
3) Yield

This strategy is consistent with the Government Code and stresses keeping the citizens’ funds safe and available for operations rather than attempting to maximize returns by making riskier investments.

The Finance Department has prepared the Investment R eport for the month ending November 30, 2022. This report meets the latest requirements of the City’s Investment Policy as presented to the City Council on June 16, 2020, as well as Government Code Section 53646.

100of 129

Discussion:

The market value of the City’s total cash and Investments on November 30, 2022, was $56,956,964 compared to $58,280,133 on October 31, 2022. This is a $ 1,323,169 decrease from the previous month ($1,370,880 decrease on the cost basis).

The decrease is attributed in part to the cashing of the quarterly Sheriff contract check totaling $1,056,918.

As of November 30 , 2022, the City has $ 46 million (81.06%) of its Cash and Investment Portfolio held in the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund (“LAIF”), which earned 1.35 % during the quarter (ended September 30 , 2022 ). This earnings rate exceeded the short-term benchmark. Other cash pools held a combined $ 6.9 million (12.20%) of the City’s Cash and Investment Portfolio. The City also has $ 1.5 million (2.70 % of its Portfolio) held by UnionBanc Investment Services (“UBIS”) and invested, pursuant to City instructions, in Certificates of Deposit and Governmental Securities with a Money Market account being used to maximize returns on otherwise idle cash.

The metrics used in the attached report are based on Securities issued by the United States Government. The short -term benchmark of .75 % is the average earned by a 3- month Treasury Bill during the month ended November 30, 2022, and the long and medium-term benchmark of 1.28 % is the average earnings of 2 -year and 3-year treasury notes during that time frame. Lastly, the one- year U.S. Treasury benchmar k for the month ended November 30, 2022, was 1.06%.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact to this action.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager
Luis Villa, Public Works Director

DATE: December 20, 2022

SUBJECT: Staff recommends City Council continue the water and sewer rate proposition 218 hearing to January 17, 2023, due to notification abnormality.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council continue the water and sewer rate P roposition 218 hearing to January 17, 2023, due to notification abnormality.

Discussion:

During the Prop 218 mailing process in November, staff was made aware of an abnormality on the notification mailing list. On November 23, 2022, City reissued a new batch of Prop 218 notices to confirm that no issues would arise. The city would ensure the 45-day Prop 218 period is met by continuing the hearing to January 17, 2023; this will also allow residents more time to review the documents.

Fiscal Impact:

No immediate fiscal impact.

Notice of Proposed Water and Sewer Rate Changes
1 | P a g e

Notice to Property Owners of Record and Customers of Record of Public Hearing Regarding Proposed Water and Sewer Rate Changes
Hearing Date & Time December 20, 2022, at 6:00 p.m.

Hearing Location:

Wasco City Council Chambers
746 8th St
Wasco, CA 93280

November 23, 2022

Why are you receiving this notice?
The City of Wasco (the “City”) is mailing this notice to you because you are a utility customer of record directly liable for payment of water or sewer service fees or are the property owner of record that receives these services. This notice describes proposed rate changes to be assessed to recover the cost of providing water and sewer services to City customers and provides a notice of a public hearing to be held on December 20, 2022, regarding these proposed changes. At the public hearing, City Council will review th e amount of the proposed rates as well as the methodology used to calculate the rates and assign rates to customers.

Monthly utility service fees are the primary source of revenue used to pay for water and sewer operations that provide services to customers. Expenses for those services include but are not limited to, operations and maintenance, major and minor capital improvements, administration , as well as costs related to prudent long ‐term operational, capital planning, and financial management of the systems. Financial management would include maintaining adequate fund reserves and planning for contingencies.

Why are rate adjustments needed?
The City has not adjusted its water and sewer rates in many years. Water rates were last increased in 2015 and sewer rates were last increased in 2007. Rate adjustments are primarily needed to reconfigure the rates to more fairly recover costs based on how customers take service.

The City’s current water rates consist of a minimum fee that includes a base allotment of water plus a volume rate for water used over the allotment. The cost of the minimum fee and the amount of water included in the allotment vary based on customer type (residential, multifamily, irrigation, etc.). Over the allotment, all customers pay the same rate per unit of water consumed. Water usage is billed based on units of hundred cubic feet (ccf). One ccf equals 748 gallons.

It is proposed that the City keep the same concept of a minimum fee plus a volume rate but decrease the amount of water included in the minimum fee over the next five years. The vast majority of residential water use is within the base allotment (about 90%) and very few residential customers are billed the volume rate. By decreasing the water allotment for all customers, the City will encourage conservation and more fairly bill lower water usage customers who don’t use all the water in the allotment. Senate Bill (SB) 606 / Assembly Bill (AB) 1668 require water purveyors to achieve average indoor consumption of 52.5 gallons per day (gpd) per capita by 2025 and the ultimate target is 50 gpd per capita by 2030. At the end of the 5 ‐year rate plan, the City’s water allotment will roughly equal the statewide indoor water usage target for single family residential customers. The water allotment for non ‐residential customers is also proposed to gradually decrease and eventually equal typical efficient indoor usage.

A schedule of drought rates is also proposed to be adopted by the City. Drought rates would only be implemented by City Council if the Governor declares a water shortage emergency. Under drought conditions, the minimum fee and usage allotment would remain the same, but water use above the minimum allotment would pay a higher rate.

Sewer rates are determined based on customer service costs as well as the amount of wastewater flow and pollutants flushed into the sewer system. The City’s sewer rates were last increased in 2007 and wastewater flow and pollutant estimates are out of date. Residential customers are proposed to receive less than 2% annual increases to their wastewater bills. Some non ‐residential customer rates are proposed to increase while others are proposed to decrease. Customers receiving decreases were found to discharge lower amounts of wastewater flow and pollutants in recent years. The sewer rates for large industrial customers are not proposed to be adjusted via this notice. Industrial customers have service agreements with the City that govern their rates and fees.

What do the new rates look like?
Table 1 identifies the water rate adjustments that are set to be assessed over the next five years. Table 2 shows the proposed sewer rate adjustments. Several categories of sewer classes are proposed to be eliminated because no customers take service under those categories. As shown, an initial rate adjustment is to become effective on February 1, 2023. Annual rate adjustments to become effective on July 1st of each of the following four years are also shown. The City reserves its authority to record or enforce a lien on properties.

How do you file a protest or participate in the public hearing? The provisions of Proposition 218 provide that certain types of “Property Related Fees” such as water and sewer rates are subject to a “majority protest” process. If protests are filed on behalf of a majority of the parcels subject to the rates the City cannot adopt the proposed rates. Under the majority protest process, any property owner of record or customer of record may submit a written protest for the proposed increases; provided, however, that only one protest will be counted per identified parcel.

Every written protest MUST include ALL of the following to be counted:

1. A statement that it is a protest against the proposed charge that is the subject of the hearing.

2. Name of the property owner of record or customer of record who is submitting the protest;

3. Identification of assessor's parcel number, street address, or utility account nu mber of the parcel with respect to which the protest is made;

4. Original signature and legibly printed name of the property owner of record or customer of record who is submitting the protest.

Protests shall not be counted if any of the required elements above (1 through 4) are omitted.

Written protests may be submitted to the City Clerk by:

1. Delivery in person to the City Clerk's Office at 746 8th Street, Wasco, CA, 93280 during published business hours; or

2. Mail to City Clerk at 746 8th Street, Wasco, CA 93280.; or

3. Written protest can be submitted during the public hearing by placing protests in the City’s Mailbox located at City Hall 746 8th street, Wasco Ca 93280 prior to the conclusion of the public hearing.

Regardless of how the written protest is submitted, it must be received by the City prior to the conclusion of the public comment portion of the Public Hearing. ( Postmark dates will not be accepted.) Any protest submitted via e‐mail or other electronic means will not be accepted.

Please identify on the front of the envelope for any written protest, whether mailed or submitted in person to the City Clerk, that the enclosed protest is for the Public Hearing on the Proposed Rate Changes ‐ Water and Sewer Service. 106of 129

The City will hold a public hearing on December 20, 2022, at 6pm. City Council will review the amount of the rates as well as the methodology for calculating the proposed rates. The City Council will hear and consider all written and oral protests to the proposed rate changes at the Public Hearin g. Oral comments at the Public Hearing will not qualify as formal protests unless accompanied by a written protest. Upon the conclusion of the Public Hearing, there will be no more written protests accepted and no more testimony taken and the City Council will consider adoption of the proposed rates described in this notice. If written protests against the proposed rates, as outlined above, are presented by a majority of property owners or customers of record, the City Council will not be authorized to impose the proposed rates at this meeting and a separate meeting will be scheduled to validate the submitted protests and determine a final count. If written protests against the proposed rates, as outlined above, are not presented by a majority of property owners or customers of record, the City Council will be authorized to impose the proposed rates. If adopted, the rates will be in effect on the dates shown in Table 1 and Table 2.

If you have any questions about the proposed rate changes or would like to see more information about data used for the rate study, please contact the City Clerk at 661‐ 758‐7215 or by email at [email protected] during normal business hours. Additional information and documents related to the proposed rate changes can be found on the City of Wasco’s website at www.cityofwasco.org

A sample protest form is provided below. If you would like to protest the proposed rates, you may fill in the form and mail it or deliver it in person to or place it in the City’s Mailbox at:

Aviso de Audiencia Pública para los Propietarios Registrados y Clientes Registrados Con Respecto a los Cambios Propuestos de la Tarifa del Agua y Alcantarillado Fecha y Hora de la Audiencia diciembre 20, 2022, a las 6:00 p.m.

Ubicación de la Audiencia:

Cámara del Concilio de la Ciudad de Wasco
746 8th St
Wasco, CA 93280

Noviembre 23, 2022

¿Por qué está recibiendo este aviso?
La Ciudad de Wasco (la “Ciudad”) está enviando este aviso porque usted es un cliente registrado de servicios públicos directamente responsable por el pago de las tarifas de los servicios del agua o del alcantarillado o por ser dueño registrado de la propiedad quien recibe estos servicios. Este aviso describe los cambios propuestos de la tarifa que se evaluaran para recuperar el costo de proveer los servicios de agua y alcantarillado para los clientes de la Ciudad y proporciona un anuncio de una audiencia pública que se llevará a cabo el 20 de diciembre, 2022, sobre estos cambios propuestos. El Concilio de la Ciudad va a revisar la suma de las tarifas propuestas tanto como la metodología que se usa para calcular las tarifas y asignara las tarifas a los clientes durante la audiencia pública.

Las tarifas mensuales son la Fuente principal de ingresos que se utilizan para pagar las operaciones del agua y del alcantarillado que proporcionan los servicios a los clientes. Los gastos para esos servicios incluyen, pero no son limitados a, las operaciones y el mantenimiento, las mejoras mayores y menores de capital, la administración, tanto como los costos relacionados con la operación prudente a largo plazo, la planificación de capital, y la administración financiera de los sistemas. La administración financiera incluiría el mantenimiento de las reservas de fondos adecuados y la planificación para contingencias.

¿Por qué son necesarios los ajustes de tarifas?
La Ciudad no ha ajustado las tarifas del agua y del alcantarillado por muchos años. Las tarifas del agua fueron aumentadas por última vez en el 2015 y las tarifas del alcantarillado fueron aumentadas por última vez en 2007. Los ajustes de la tarifa son principalmente necesarios para reconfigurar las tarifas para que se pueda recuperar los costos de manera más justa en función de cómo los clientes tomen el servicio.

La tarifa del agua actual de la Ciudad consta de un cobro minio que incluye la asignación base de agua más un cobro por tasa de volumen de agua utilizada por encima de la asignación. El costo mínimo de la tarifa y la cantidad de agua incluida en la asignación varían según el tipo de cliente (residencial, multifamiliar, riego, etc.). Por encima de la asignación, todos los clientes pagan el mismo costo por unidad de agua consumida. El uso del agua se factura en base a unidades de cien pies cúbicos (ccf). Un ccf equivale a 748 galones.

Se propone que le Ciudad mantenga el mismo concepto de la tarifa mínima más una tarifa por volumen, pero reduzca la cantidad de agua incluida en la tarifa mínima durante los próximos cinco años. La gran mayoría del uso de agua residencial está dentro de la asignación base (alrededor de 90%) y a muy pocos clientes residenciales sé les factura la tarifa por volumen. Al reducir la asignación del agua para todos los clientes, la Ciudad va a fomentar la conservación y facturara de manera más justa a los clientes que usan menos agua y que no usan toda el agua de la asignación. El Proyecto de Ley del Senado (SB) 606 / Proyecto de Ley de la Asamblea (AB) 1668 requieren que los proveedores de agua logren un consumo interior de 52.5 galones por día (gpd) per cápita para el 2025 y el objetivo final es 50 gpd per cápita para el 2030. Al fin del plan de la tarifa de 5-años, la asignación del agua de la Ciudad será aproximadamente City of Wasco

igual al objetivo del uso de agua en interiores en todo el Estado para los clientes residenciales unifamiliares. También se propone que la asignación del agua para los clientes que no son residentes se disminuya gradual y eventualmente sea igual al uso interior eficiente típico.

También se propone que la Ciudad adopte un programa de tasas de sequía.

Las tasas de sequía solo serian implantadas por el Concilio de la Ciudad si el Gobernador declara una emergencia por escasez de agua. En condiciones de sequía, la tarifa mínima y la asignación de uso permanecerían iguales, pero el uso de agua por encima de la asignación mínima sería un cobro de tarifa más alta.

Las tarifas de Alcantarillado se determinan en función con los costos de servicios al cliente, tanto como la cantidad de flujo de aguas residuales y contaminantes que se vierten en el sistema de alcantarillado. Las tarifas de alcantarillado de la Ciudad fueron aumentadas en 2007 y las estimaciones de flujo de aguas residuales y contaminantes están desactualizadas. Se propone que los clientes residenciales reciban menos del 2% aumento anual en sus facturas de aguas residuales. Se propone aumentar algunas las tarifas para los clientes que no son residentes, mientras que se propone disminuir otras. Se descubrió que los clientes que recibieron reducciones descargaron cantidades más bajas de flujo de aguas residuales y contaminantes en los últimos años. No se propone ajustar las tarifas del alcantarillado para los clientes grandes industriales a través de este aviso. Los clientes industriales tienen acuerdos de servicios con la Ciudad que gobiernan sus tarifas y cuotas.
¿Como son las tarifas nuevas?
La Tabla 1 identifica los ajustes a la tarifa del agua que se evaluaran durante los próximos cinco años la Tabla 2 demuestra los ajustes propuestos del alcantarillado. Se propone eliminar varias categorías de clases de alcantarillado porque ningún cliente toma el servicio bajo esas categorías. Como se muestra, un ajuste de tarifa inicial entrara en vigor el 1 de febrero, 2023. También demuestra los ajustes de las tarifas anuales que entraran en vigor en 1ero de Julio de los siguientes cuatro años. La Ciudad reserva su autoridad para registrar o cumplir un gravamen sobre las propiedades.

¿Como se presenta una propuesta o se participa en la audiencia pública? Las estipulaciones de la Proposición 218 establecen que ciertos tipos de “Cargos Relacionados con la Propiedad” como las tarifas del agua y del alcantarillado están sujetos a un proceso de “protesta mayoritaria”. Si se presentan protestas en nombre de la mayoría de las parcelas sujetas a las tarifas, la Ciudad no puede adoptar las tarifas propuestas. Bajo el proceso de protestas mayoritarias, cualquier propietario o cliente registrado podrá presentar una protesta por escrito contra los aumentos propuestos; sin embargo, solo se contará una sola protesta por parcela identificada.

Cada propuesta escrita DEBE INCLUIR TODO lo siguiente para ser contada:

1. Una declaración que sea una protesta en contra del cargo propuesto que es el tema de la audiencia.

2. Nombre del propietario o cliente registrado quien presenta la protesta;

3. Identificación del número de la parcela del tasador, la dirección de la calle o el número de cuenta de servicios públicos de la parcela con respecto a la cual se realiza la protesta;

4. Firma original y nombre en letra de imprenta legible del propietario o cliente registrado que presenta la protesta
Las protestas no se contarán si se omite cualquiera de los elementos (1 a 4) requeridos arriba.

La Ciudad llevara a cabo una audiencia pública en diciembre 20, 2022, a las 6pm. El Concilio de la Ciudad revisara la suma de las tarifas y la metodología de cálculo de las tarifas propuestas. El Concilio de la Ciudad escuchara y considerara todas las prote stas con respecto a los cambios de tarifa propuestos durante la Audiencia Pública. Los comentarios orales durante la Audiencia Pública no calificaran como protestas formales a menos que vayan acompañados de una protesta por escrito. A concluir la Audiencia Pública no se aceptarán más protestas por escrito ni se tomarán más testimonios, y el Concilio de la Ciudad considerara la adopción de las tarifas propuestas descritas en este aviso. Si la mayoría de los propietarios o clientes registrados presentan protesta s por escrito en contra de las tarifas propuestas, como se describe anteriormente, el Concilio Municipal no estará autorizado a imponer las tarifas propuestas en esta reunión y se programará una reunión aparte para validar las protestas presentadas y determinar un conteo final. Si la mayoría de los clientes o propietarios registrados no presentan protestas por escrito contra las tarifas propuestas, como se describe anteriormente, el Concilio de la Ciudad estará autorizado a imponer las tarifas propuestas.

BJECT: Adopt A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Finalize and Execute a Professional Services Agreement with Martin, Paris, Mullins Investigations LLC (MPMI) to Provide Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Background Investigations for Peace Officers and Public Safety Dispatchers.

R
ecommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Finalize and Execute a Professional Services Agreement with Martin, Paris, Mullins Investigations LLC (MPMI) to Provide Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Background Investigations for Peace Officers and Public Safety Dispatchers.

D
iscussion:

The City of Wasco City Council approved the Employment Agreement for Chief Fivecoat on December 6
th, 2022. With the on boarding of Chief Fivecoa t, Staff identified that in order to qualify for POST standards for California law enforcement the City would need the services of a qualified POST Law Enforcement Background Investigator. The City does not currently contract with any qualified POST Law Enforcement Background Investigator.

POST regulatory standards require POST Law Enforcement Background Investigations to meet the following critierials.

G
overnment Code §1031 requires a pre-employment background investigation for peace officers; this requirement is further defined in Commission Regulation 1953. Similarly, Penal Code §13510 authorizes POST to establish minimum standards for public safety dispatchers; those standards — including a background investigation — are defined in Commission Regulations 1956-1960.

M
artin, Paris, Mullins Investigation, LLC (MPMI) is a California Corporation that offer s its clients over 85 years of law enforcement and investigative experience held by and between the principal partners of the agency.
