STAFF REPORT

CITY OF WASCO

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

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

DATE: March 21, 2023

SUBJECT: Receive and File the Investment Report for the month ended January 31, 2023.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) receive and file the Investment Report for the month ending January 31, 2023.

2) Find that this action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c) (3), no environmental review is required.

Background:

This report is prepared and prese nted 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.
18 of 56
The Finance Department has prepared the Investment R eport for the month ending January 31, 2023. 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.

Discussion:

The market value of the City’s total cash and Investments on January 31, 202 3, was $61,677,509 compared to $61,478,236 on December 31, 2022. This is a $ 199,273 increase from the previous month ($193,314 increase on the cost basis).

The increase is a combination of monthly deposits , interest income and payments made to vendors that resulted in a $199,273 increase.

As of January 31, 2023, the City has $47 million (76.49%) of its Cash and Investment Portfolio held in the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund (“LAIF”), which earned 2.07 % during the quarter (ended December 31, 2022). This earnings rate exceeded the short - term benchmark. Other cash pools held a c ombined $6.9 million (11.31%) of the City’s Cash and Investment Portfolio. The City also has $4.04 million (6.56 % 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 . 87 % is the aver age earned by a 3- month Treasury Bill during the month ended January 31, 2023, and the long and medium -term benchmark of 1.46 % is the average earnings of 2 -year and 3-year treasury notes during that time frame. Lastly, the one -year U.S. Treasury benchmark for the month ended January 31, 2023, was 1.29%.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact to this action.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Sign and File, for and on behalf of the City of Wasco, a Financial Assistance Application for a funding Agreement from the State Water Resources Control Board for the Planning, Design, and Construction of the Water System Improvements and Treatment Project for an estimated Amount of $44,283,872.00 and Adopt

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

30 of 56

Discussion:

Since September 2020, the City of Wasco has diligently worked on identifying the best method to treat 1,2,3 -TCP found in the five active groundwater wells within the City. After a feasibility analysis and hydrogeologic study were performed by Dee Jaspar & Associates, the City Council voted to replace four of the five existing wells due to the wells approaching the end of their useful life in the next 5-10 years.

During the budget workshop for the fiscal year 2020 -21 budget, the Council also recommended that water storage be prioritized. Another priority that has been voiced by Council members is the implementation of advanced metering infrastructure.

The staff has been working on identifying funding opportunities for the City to proceed with various water projects outlined as priorities, includ ing 1,2,3 -TCP water treatment, advanced metering infrastructure, water storage, and groundwater well replacement. The staff has been working with Dee Jaspar & Associates and QK to complete and finalize the submit ted application to the State Revolving Fund (SRF) for funding to complete the construction of four replacement wells, installation of 1,2,3 -TCP treatment facilities at well 12, new groundwater storage tank s with a booster pump station and the installation of automated metering infrastructure.

The staff has been in conversation with the Division of Financial Assistance of the State Water Board about the State Revolving Fund grant opportunities. Staff was informed that the City of Wasco is considered an expanded small water system serving a severely disadvantaged community and is therefore eligible for up to 100% grant.

Project Description:

As noted above, the Water System Improvement and Treatment Project includes drilling four new municipal water wells to replace existing water supply wells tha t exceed the State of California maximum contaminant level (MCL) threshold for 1,2,3-trichloropropane (1,2,3 -TCP) of 0.005- micrograms per liter (mg/L), and occasionally the threshold for nitrates of 10 mg/L for nitrate as nitrogen (N). The four existing we ll sites that are being replaced will be abandoned of all pump equipment, piping, electrical, and appurtenances . Staff notes that all wells are located on the edge of the City’s boundaries, and the existing water supply wells will be abandoned in accordance with Kern County requirements.

The City will also install a new Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) treatment system at the existing Well No. 12 facility in order to remove 1,2,3-TCP, a new one-million- gallon storage tank and booster pump station at one of t he proposed new well site locations and a new Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system with remote read meters throughout the water system.
31 of 56
In addition, the project will include a Zone Classification from R -1-6 (Single-family Residential Zone 6,000 s quare-foot lot minimum) to P -F (Public Facilities Zone) in order to accommodate Well No. 17.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):

In accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) was prepared.

The IS/MND found that based on the evidence, the proposed Water System Improvement and Treatment Project would not have a significant impact on the environment based on compliance with the project’s design and the 1 0 recommended mitigation measures. Staff notes the mitigation measures that were included are ones that are typical for this type of development.

A Notice of Intent to Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration was posted with the County Clerk on January 26, 2023, and distributed to affected agencies for review and comment. No comments were received during the 30 -day review period that ended on February 27, 2023. One comment from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) was received after the close of the public comment period.

The SWRCB commented that the SRF review process requires some steps that are not a part of the normal CEQA process.

A. An analysis of environmental alternatives discussing the environmental impacts of the Project.

B. A public hearing or meeting for adoption/certification of all CEQA documents except for those with little or no environmental impacts , adoption of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), etc.

CEQA guidelines do not require nor provide guidance on responding to comments on an IS/MND; however, staff provides information relating to these comments received from the SWRCB and the recommendations contained therein.

Regarding Comment A, staff notes that under CEQA Section 21067, the City is the lead agency under CEQA and therefore determines the appropriate level of environmental analysis as required by law. Staff notes that SRF requirements (commonly known as federal environmental cross -cutters) include additional analyses beyond those of CEQA. However, staff notes that under the Intended Use Plan for State Fiscal Year 2021-22 and the Intended Use Plan 2022-23, the City qualified as a Disadvantaged Community (DAC), and the project met the criteria under the Tier II environmental review process and thus is excluded from federal cross-cutters.

Under CEQA Section 15126.6, an analysis of alternatives is required in an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). There is no such requirement for alternative 32 of 56
analysis for an IS/MND. Because the project is not subject to federal environmental cross-cutter analysis, an alternatives analysis is not necessary.

However, staff notes that the Feasibility Analysis Report prepared by Dee Jaspar and Associates discusses alternatives to the proposed project and discusses the feasibility of those alternatives in relation to the proposed project. That analysis of alternatives was included in the circulated IS/MND as Appendix C.

Related to Comment B, Staff also notes that as is stated in the Notice of Public Hearing and Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) included with the circulated Initial Study/MND, the public hearing when your Council was to consider the project and adoption of the MND and MMRP.

Fiscal Impact:

The City of Wasco is considered an expanded small water system serving a severely disadvantaged community and is therefore eligible for up to 100% grant.

No budget action is necessary with approval of this item. Should funding be awarded, appropriate revenue and expenditure budget actions will be presented to Council for consideration on a future agenda.

DATE: March 21, 2023

SUBJECT: C onduct a public hearing to receive oral comments concerning unmet transit needs, consider comments, if any, and adopt the Resolution Establishing Unmet Transit Needs Finding for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Coun cil conduct a Public Hearing and adopt the resolution.

BACKGROUND:

The Transportation Development Act of 1971 (TDA), as amended, provides for the disbursement of funds from the Local Transportation Fund for various eligible transportation uses. The funds are distributed by the Kern Council of Governments (Kern COG) in its capacity as the Regional Transportation Planning Agency. An eligible claimant wishing to receive TDA funding through Kern COG must conduct an annual review of the transit needs of the individuals and groups in the community.

DISCUSSION:

Kern Council of Governments is required to define “unmet needs” and “reasonable to meet”, and has defined them as follows:

Unmet Need:

An unmet transit need exists if an individual of any age or physical condition is unable to transport himself or herself due to deficiencies in the existing transportation system.

Excluded are 1) Those requests for minor operational improvements and 2) Those improvements funded and scheduled for implementation in the following year.

Reasonable to Meet:

A. Operational Feasibility: The requested improvement must be safe to operate, and there must be adequate roadways for transit vehicles.

B. Duplication of Service: The proposed service shall not duplicate other transit services.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

44 of 56
C. Timing: The proposed service shall be in response to an existing rather than a future need
D. Service must meet the legally required farebox ratio (Public Utilities Code Sections 99268.2, 99268.5 and (California Code of Regulation Sections 6633.2, 6633.5) with fares close to fares of similar service.” The legal farebox ratio is 10%.

The hearing was duly noticed on January 26, 2023. It would be appropriate to open the Public Hearing and receive written and oral comments regarding any “unmet transit need” and determine whether these “needs are reasonable to meet.” The documentation of the Public Hearing will be forwarded to Kern COG.

Environmental Review:

The staff has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.

management phase of the project. The Department will need radio equipment to allow communication between Dispatch and vehicles and in the field between officers via portable units.

Motorola Solutions is the national standard for public safety communications and is the only vendor that meets P25 radio encryption standards. Due to supply chain issues and changes in the distribution model implemented by Motorola, their equipment is to be procured directly from Motorola, pursuant to a single-source quote. (Attached) The quote shows pricing for a single Base Station (used by Dispatchers, and we need two) and omits tax and shipping costs. The vendor will be providing an updated quote document , but the estimated total cost will be as follows:

Base Quote $ 67,705.48
Add 2
nd Base Station $ 5,355.00
Sales Tax (8.25%) $ 6,027.50
Shipping (Estimate) $ 2,000.00
Estimate Total $ 81,087.98

To allow for volatile pricing factors and shipping variations Staff recommends approval of an additional $5.000.00 authorization totaling $86,087.98

Fiscal Impact:

The fiscal Impact is $86,087.98, all of which is covered by department start -up appropriation.
