Council Member Reyna requested clarification regarding operating with four wells due to Well 12 and Well 14 being shutdown; and how many wells are operating for regular demand; Is there a timeline for when the wells will be online, are there any guarantees on the work that was done, and what steps to be taken if the wells were not to come online in time. He also asked if there would be a resolution regarding the report stating a serious concern for surface infiltration or influence, which raises questions about the well structure.

Public Works Director Villa responded to Council Member Reyna’s questions:
• There are three wells in operation and Well 14 will be back online within a couple of days.
• A message will be sent out to conserve water, a letter can be sent, and a call to the state to allow to run a different well that is currently offline. Well 12 is currently being flushed; with another negative test, it can be back online quickly.
• There is a potential for an issue of serious concern if that were the case, and when the work is done it would work. If the test comes back negative, the work will be pushed back to the winter.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Staff recommends the City Council approve the travel and training expenses exceeding $500.00 per trip for the Billing and Collections Supervisor and Accounts Payable/Payroll Specialists to attend the California Public Employers Labor Relations Association (CALPELRA) 2023 Annual Training Conference on November 14th - November 17th, 2023, in Monterey, CA.

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.

Environmental Review:

The staff has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance w ith 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 w hich 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.

Background:

The California Public Employers Labor Relations Association (CALPELRA) is a renowned professional organization dedicated to advancing the knowledge and expertise of professionals engaged in labor and employee relations within the public sector. Through its various programs and events, CALPELRA serves as a valuable resource for both public agencies and the professionals working within them. The annual CALPELRA Training

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

38 of 201
Conference brings together a wealth of expertise, covering a comprehensive array of topics relevant to public employers.

The conference typically encompasses a diverse range of subjects, including but not limited to:

• Labor relations,
• State and federal employment legislation,
• Workplace diversity and inclusion,
• Legal updates,
• Collective bargaining strategies,
• CALPERS reporting updates,
• Employee management,
• Employee evaluations,
• Employee engagement, and
• Leadership engagement

Attendees have the opportunity to delve into issues related to harassment prevention, wage and hour regulations specific to California, evolving workplace demographics, performance evaluation techniques, and leave policies. With a dynamic mix of informative sessions, workshops, and discussions, CALPELRA's annual conference serves as a valuable platform for learning, networking, and staying updated on the latest trends and best practices.

Discussion:

Investing in the professional development of our city's workforce holds a twofold benefit:
not only does it enhance the city's capabilities, but it also equips our employees with the essential skills to elevate their own expertise. By committing to the gro wth of our workforce, we infuse our workplace with renewed energy and proficiency. Training opportunities not only provide avenues for learning but also facilitate the creation of valuable professional networks.

With this in mind, I seek approval for the participation of our Billing and Collections Supervisor, Monique Vasquez, and our Payroll Specialist, Katheryn Virrey, in the upcoming California Public Employers Labor Relations Association (CALPELRA) 2023 Annual Training Conference from November 14th to November 17th, 2023. You can find the preliminary conference program attached for your reference.

The cost of the training will exceed the Expense and Use of Public Resources Policy Limits established by City of Wasco Resolution No. 2006 -2327, limiting expenses to $500.00 per trip. As a result, the City Council must approve the travel request for the Billing and Collections II and the Payroll Specialist, as the expenses for the cost of the trip will exceed $500.00.

Fiscal Impact:

It is estimated that the cost of th is training will not exceed $5,500, including the conference and travel expenses. The training cost is contained in the adopted FY 2023 – 2024 Budget; no budget action is required with approval of this item.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager
Keri Cobb, Community Development Director

DATE: September 5, 2023

SUBJECT: Approval for Travel Expenses Exceeding $500.00 for Code Compliance Officers to attend the 2023 California Association of Code Enforcement Officers Conference from November 6, 2023, to November 9 , 2023, in Monterey, CA.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Approval of the travel Expenses Exceeding $500.00 for Code Compliance Officers to attend the 2023 California Association of Code Enforcement Officer Conference from November 6, 2023, to November 9, 2023, in Monterey, CA.

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.

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.

Discussion:

City Code Compliance officers have attended the California Association of Code Enforcement Officers annual conference for several years. The conference provides an excellent opportunity for officers to learn about new laws and changes to laws impacting Code Compliance, as well as network with their colleagues from around the State.

The cost of the conference, hotel fees, and food per diems will exceed the Expense and Use of Public Resources Policy limits established by City of Wasco Resolution No. 2006 - 2327, limiting expenses to $500.00 per trip. As a result, the City Council will need to

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

approve the travel requested by the Community Development Director as the expenses for the cost of the trip will exceed $500.00.

Fiscal Impact:

It is estimated that the cost of travel and training for the course will not exceed $3,000 (total for 2 officers). The adopted FY 2022-2023 Operating Budget contains sufficient funding to cover this expense; no budget action is required with approval of this item.

Project #23022 within the FY 2022-2023 Capital Improvement Plan requires the installation of two electric vehicle charging stations in the parking lot just North of the Old Courthouse at 810 8th Street. These stations are Level III fast. The purpose of these charging stations will be to provide high-speed EV charging, which will be accessible for public use.

These charging stations require a power connection from Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E).

The proposed connection will come from existing power poles that run North/South on the West end of the property. A new transformer will be set up in the location depicted in the attached drawing.

In order for PG&E to install their conduit, wire, etc. they will require an easement that will allow them to have access to their equipment. This easement area is depicted in the attached plan. Also attached is the easement paperwork that PG&E submitted.

GRANT OF EASEMENT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

This Disclosure Statement will assist you in evaluating the request for granting an easement to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) to accommodate a utility service extension to PG&E’s applicant. Please read this disclosure carefully before signing the Grant of Easement.

• You are under no obligation or threat of condemnation by PG&E to grant this easement.

• The granting of this easement is an accommodation to PG&E’s applicant requesting the extension of PG&E utility facilities to the applicant’s property or project. Because this easement is an accommodation for a service extension to a single customer or group of customers, PG&E is not authorized to purchase any such easement.

• By granting this easement to PG&E, the easement area may be used to serve additional customers in the area and may be used to install additional utility facilities. Installation of any proposed facilities outside of this easement area will require an additional easement.

• Removal and/or pruning of trees or other vegetation on your property may be necessary for the installation of PG&E facilities. You have the option of h aving PG&E’s contractors perform this work on your property, if available, or granting permission to PG&E’s applicant or the applicant’s contractor to perform this work.

Additionally, in order to comply with California fire laws and safety orders, PG&E or its contractors will periodically perform vegetation maintenance activities on your property as provided for in this grant of easement in order to maintain proper clearances from energized electric lines or other facilities.

• The description of the easem ent location where PG&E utility facilities are to be installed across your property must be satisfactory to you.

• The California Public Utilities Commission has authorized PG&E’s applicant to perform the installation of certain utility facilities for utility service. In addition to granting this easement to PG&E, your consent may be requested by the applicant, or applicant’s contractor, to work on your property. Upon completion of the applicant’s installation, the utility facilities will be inspected by PG&E. When the facility installation is determined to be acceptable the facilities will be conveyed to PG&E by its applicant.

By signing the Grant of Easement, you are acknowledging that you have read this disclosure and understand that you are voluntarily granting the easement to PG&E. Please return the signed and notarized Grant of Easement with this Disclosure Statement attached to PG&E. The duplicate copy of the Grant of Easement and this Disclosure Statement is for your records.

Luis Villa, Public Works Director

DATE: September 5, 2023

SUBJECT: Approval of the A cceptance of the TDA Article 3 – Pedestrian Improvements Project and Authorization for the City Clerk to File the Notice of Completion.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Review and accept the Notice of Completion and acceptance of the TDA Article 3 – Pedestrian Improvements Project , and authorize the City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion.

2) Find that this Project is classified as categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Section 15332; no environmental review is required.

Environmental Review:

The staff has reviewed the proposed Project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the Project is categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Section 15332 as it is characterized as in -fill development meeting the conditions described in this section. Thus, no environmental review is required.

Discussion:

On May 2 , 2023, the City Council approved the award of this Project to Cen -Cal Construction in the amount of $80,155.00.

In order to comply with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, the City pursued TDA Article 3 monies that replace twelve ramps in the Southgate Neighborhood with ADA - approved ramps.

Cen-Cal Construction has completed its scope of work per the approved agreement , thus prompting the closeout of the Project.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

59 of 201

Fiscal Impact:

The final cost of this Project came in at $ 82,170.68, which is $2,015.68 more than the amount authorized by the Council due to the fact that we had one change order that upgraded the basic paint for the striping to thermoplastic, which added $1,289.09. This will increase the paint’s longevity. There was also an extra work ticket that replaced one foot of wet soil under a curb ramp with a base; this added another $726.59 to the invoice but improved compaction for the ramp, guaranteeing the ramp would not break in the future. Sufficient funds are available to cover the change order costs; no additional budget action is required with approval of this item.

Environmental Review:

Staff has reviewed the proposed Project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the Project is categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Section 15332; no environmental review is required.

Discussion:

City staff strives to maintain a stock of 12 bins for the Wasco State Prison and 10 bins in stock for the City ’s commercial businesses to ensure healthy services to our customers.

The Sanitation Department repairs worn or damaged commercial bins when needed.

We keep a supply of fabrication parts (bin lids and bottoms) for replacing these parts as they wear. Fabricating in -house saves the department and City funds compared to purchasing new bins. Staff will remove 10 of the worst bins that are in service now, replace them with the new and, rebuild the old for inventory, and ensure timely replacement of aging bins.

In order to improve efficiency and reduce costs, staff reviewed alternative purchasing options and identified Consolidated Fabricators currently has an active agreement with Sourcewell. In accordance with the City’s municipal code, the City may utilize join t 67 of 201
powers agreements for procurement without further competitive bidding. The City will be purchasing the carts utilizing the Sourcewell contract #040621-WQI.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

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

DATE: September 5, 2023

SUBJECT: A pproval of the acceptance of the CDBG 16th Street Rehabilitation Project and Authorize the City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Review and accept the Notice of Completion and acceptance and authorize the City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion.

2) Find that this Project is classified as categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Section 15332.

Environmental Review:

Staff has reviewed the proposed Project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the Project is categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Section 15332 as it is characterized as in -fill development meeting the condi tions described in this section. Thus, no environmental review is required.

Discussion:

On May 2, 2023, the City Council approved the award of this Project to Bowman Asphalt in the amount of $428700.00.

16th Street was reconstructed from Highway 46 to Griffith Ave, adding many more years of life to the road. This road leads straight to Hwy 43 and is heavily used by many residents going and returning from work. In addition, the project helped bring 18 ramps to ADA standards by means of removal and replacement.

Bowman Asphalt has completed its scope of work per the approved agreement thus prompting the closeout of the Project.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

79 of 201

Fiscal Impact:

The final cost of this Project came in at $438,564.00 which is $9,864 more than the amount authorized by Council. Because Bowman Asphalt discovered three extra utility/manhole covers that had to be raised up to grade, grinding an extra 468 square feet of asphalt around two ramps was required to make the tie-in ADA complaint . Sufficient funding exists to cover the noted change order; no additional budget action is required with approval of this item.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: Nancy Vera, Human Resources Manager

DATE: September 5
th, 2023

SUBJECT: Approval of Amended Employment Agreement Terms Between City Manager, M. Scott Hurlbert and the City of Wasco.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Staff recommends the City Council approve the Amended Employment Agreement Terms Between City Manager, M. Scott Hurlbert and the City of Wasco.

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.

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.

Discussion:

On June 1
st, 2021, Hurlbert and the City entered into an Employment Agreement 2021- 024. The City Council employed Hurlbert initially under the title Assistant to the City Manager in order to transition with the departing former City Manager . Hurlber t transitioned to the role of City Manager on July 1st, 2021. The Hurlbert agreement is for a five (5) year term, from July 1st, 2021 – June 30th, 2026.

As part of the annual evaluation process, the City Manager and City Council meet to review and evaluat e Hurlbert’s overall performance and Employment Agreement.

During this evaluation process, the City Council assigned a two -member Committee to review terms of the existing Employment Agreement. The Committee recommended amendments to the Annual Salary, Leave Accrual Caps, and Leave Cash -Out procedures contained in the Agreement . The recommended changes are identified below:

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

100 of 201

“Section 4 Salary, Deferred Compensation :” The City Council proposes to increase the salary of the City Manager by six (6) percent based on merit. The City Council would like to also update the contract language to allow for the same Cost of Living Adjustment received by non-represented staff members to be appropriated to the City Manager, at the discretion of the City Council . An update to the name of the City’s deferred compensation management company is also proposed.

“Section 5 Sick Leave:” Allow for a maximum carry-over of 156 hours of sick leave. Annual “cash-out” will be optional rather than mandatory, up to the available accrual balance and may not create a negative vacation balance.

“Section 6 Vacation Leave: ” Allow for a maximum carry-over of 240 hours of vacation leave. Annual “cash -out” will be optional rather than mandatory, up to the available accrual balance and may not create a negative vacation balance.

Hurlbert and the City agree that the Employment Agreement is binding on the parties and remains in effect in all respects, except as specifically amended in this Amendment Agreement. The amended agreement sets the base salary, leave accrual limits, and accrued leave cash-out provisions the Parties now wish to amend.

Fiscal Impact:

The estimated fiscal impact is equal to the current and future annual bud get appropriation for salary and benefits relating to the Amended Employment Agreement.

The adopted FY 2023-2024 Operating Budget is sufficient to cover the costs related to this amendment. No additional budget action is required with approval of this item.

Language in Current Employment Agreement:

employees are paid. Hurlbert’s salary is subject to an upward installment annually, as determined by the City Council. The City shall not at any time during the term of this Agreement reduce the salary, compensation, or other benefits received by Hurlbert, unless as part of a general City management salary reduction, and then in no greater percentage than the average reduction of City department heads.

The City Council may increase the annual salary of the City Manager so long as it does not exceed the salary range approved by the City Council. Increases in the annual base salary shall be merit-based and shall be dependent upon the City Manager’s accomplishing or satisfying predetermined goals and objectives. The City Council shall develop these goals and objectives by June 30 of each year of this Agreement. An assessment to determine whether the goals and objectives have been satisfied will be completed by June 30 of each year. The City Council shall then decide, in keeping with that assessment and in its sole discretion, whether extension of the term of this Agreement and/or salary increases are warranted.

In addition to the salary set forth above, the City shall deposit the amount of nine thousand dollars ($9,000.00) annually in equal payroll installments into Hurlbert’s ICMA Retirement Corporation account.

Amended to Read: Consists of nine (9) sentences, and three (3) paragraphs. “SECTION 4. SALARY; DEFERRED COMPENSATION”: The City shall pay Hurlbert a salary of $191,065.00 per year, payable in equal installments on each pay day that all other City employees are paid. Increases in the annual base salary shall be merit-based and shall be dependent upon the City Manager's accomplishing or satisfying predetermined goals and objectives. The City Council shall develop these goals and objectives by June 30 of each year of this Agreement. An assessment to determine whether the goals and objectives have been satisfied will be completed by June 30 of each year. The City Council shall then decide, in keeping with that assessment and in its sole discretion, whether extension of the term of this Agreement and/or salary increases are warranted. The City Council at their discretion may elect to: i) Make no adjustment to Hurlbert’s base salary; ii) Apply a Cost-of-Living Adjustment equal to other non- represented staff COLA’s; or Make some other adjustment to Hurlbert’s base salary. The City Council shall also approve any amended salary amount on the City’s Salary Schedule.

The City shall not at any time during the term of this Agreement reduce the salary, compensation, or other benefits received by Hurlbert, unless as part of a general City management salary reduction, and then in no greater percentage than the average reduction of City department heads.

In addition to the salary set forth above, the City shall deposit the amount of nine thousand dollars ($ 9,000.00) annually in equal payroll installments into Hurlbert's MissionSquare, formally ICMA Retirement Corporation, or other 457 Plan deferred compensation account offered by the City.

Amendment 2:

105 of 201

Language in Current Employment Agreement:
“SECTION 5. SICK LEAVE”: Hurlbert shall accrue one hundred four (104) hours of sick leave annually at a rate of 4 hours per pay period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hurlbert's accrued sick leave balance shall be adjusted to reflect one hundred four (104) hours of sick leave July 1, 2021, and shall then accrue no sick leave until July 2, 2022, at which point the periodic accrual shall begin.

On July 1 of each year, Hurlbert shall be required to "cash out" the entirety of the previous year' s accrued but unused sick leave at his then-present rate of pay. It is the specific intent of this section that Hurlbert shall not at any time accrue sick leave in excess of 104 hours.

Upon Hurlbert s retirement with Ca1PERS, and concurrent termination of this Agreement, Hurlbert will be afforded the opportunity to convert unused sick leave hours to Ca1PERS service credit in accordance with all applicable CalPERS rules and regulations.

In the event of termination of this Agreement " without cause" as defined herein, Hurlbert shall be paid one hundred percent of his accrued and unused sick leave at his then -current hourly rate of compensation. In the event of termination of this agreement " for cause" as defined herein, Hurlbert shall not be compensated in any way for accrued but unused sick leave.

Amended to Read: Consists of seven (7) sentences, and four (4) paragraphs. “SECTION 5. SICK LEAVE”: Hurlbert shall accrue one hundred four (104) hours of sick leave annually at a rate of 4 hours per pay period. Hurlbert shall not be permitted to accrue more than a maximum of one hundred fifty-six (156) sick leave hours. Hurlbert shall accrue no additional sick leave which would cause a sick leave balance exceeding the one hundred fifty-six hours. On July 1 of each year, Hurlbert shall be able to "cash out" up to the entirety of his unused sick leave at his then-current rate of pay. Hurlbert may not use the “cash-out” process to create a negative sick balance.

Upon Hurlbert’s retirement with Ca1PERS, and concurrent termination of this Agreement, Hurlbert will be afforded the opportunity to convert unused sick leave hours to Ca1PERS service credit in accordance with all applicable CalPERS rules and regulations.

In the event of termination of this Agreement "without cause" as defined herein, Hurlbert shall be paid one hundred percent of his accrued and unused sick leave at his then-current hourly rate of compensation. In the event of termination of this agreement "for cause" as defined herein, Hurlbert shall not be compensated in any way for accrued but unused sick leave.

Amendment 3:

Section 6 (entitled “Vacation Leave”), which consist of three (3) sentences, and two (2) paragraphs is hereby amended as follows:

Language in Current Employment Agreement:
“SECTION 6. VACATION LEAVE”: Hurlbert shall accrue one hundred sixty (160) hours of vacation leave annually at a rate of 6.1538 hours per pay period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 106 of 201
Hurlbert' s accrued vacation leave balance shall be adjusted to reflect one hundred sixty (160) hours of vacation leave on July 1, 2021, and shall then accrue no vacation leave until July 2, 2022, at which point the periodic accrual shall begin.

On July 1 of each year, Hurlbert shall be required to "cash out" any accrued but unused vacation time at his then-current hourly rate of compensation.

Amended to Read: Consists of three (4) sentences, and two (2) paragraphs. “SECTION 6. VACATION LEAVE”: Hurlbert shall accrue one hundred sixty (160) hours of vacation leave annually at a rate of 6.1538 hours per pay period. Hurlbert shall not be permitted to accrue more than a maximum of two hundred forty (240) vacation hours.

On July 1 of each year, Hurlbert may “cash-out” up to his accrued but unused vacation time at his then-current hourly rate of compensation; however, Hurlbert may not use the “cash-out” process to create a negative vacation balance. In the event of termination of this Agreement, Hurlbert shall be entitled to payment for any unused vacation accrual.

SUBJECT
: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Amended Salary Schedule for the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 in Compliance with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) Requirement for Publicly Available Pay Schedules.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Approve a Resolution Approving the Amended Salary Schedule for the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 in Compliance with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) Requirement for Publicly Available Pay Schedules.

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.

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 fisca l/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.

Discussion:

The Salary Schedule presented for Council review contains the amended salary for the City Manager. As part of the evaluation process , the City Manager and City Council review and evaluation Hurlbert’s overall performance and Employment Agreement.

During this evaluation period, several facts, from the Annual Salary to Vacation and Sick Accruals, were recommended to be amended. The City Council would like to increase the salary of the City Manager by six (6) percent based on merit. The Salary Schedule will now identify the salary of the City Manager as $191,065.00 per year.

• $3,000 to fund Bicycle Parking Facilities;
• $2,000 to fund a Bicycle Safety Program;
• $425,592 to fund 11th St. Pedestrian Improvements.

Staff is pleased to report that the City of Wasco has been awarded all projects requested through the Transportation Development Act Article 3 Program, administered by the Kern Council of Governments. The awards were made at the Kern COG Council’s meeting on August 17, 2023. Congratulations to our team on being awarded funding in this very competitive program!

The 11
th Street project will c onstruct pedestrian improvements within ¼ mile buffer zone of the Wasco Independence High School, St. John the Evangelist School, and Barber Park by installing 1,200 square feet of new sidewalk, curb, and gutter, and installing 16 ADA curb ramps on 11 th Street. The 2020 City of Wasco Safe Routes to School Plan Update, identified (11th Street from D. Street to Birch Avenue) has a priority project with several existing challenges , such as missing sidewalks and some curb ramps, high visibility, continental crossings, and ADA-compliant ramps are needed.

This project increases active modes of transportation by closing gaps in the street's pedestrian infrastructure and creating a continuous, accessible, safe route to school and public parks. In order to advance the con struction of this project, it is vitally important that the City Manager or designee be granted the authority to execute contacts for environmental, design, and other activities necessary to implement this pedestrian improvement project.

As such, the sta ff is requesting that the Council Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to procure services and execute contracts including, but not limited to, Environmental, Architect/Engineering Services, and other items related to the new project, up to the reimbursable amount of $451,000.00

Fiscal Impact:

The funding for th is
project will be initially provided from the General Fund and subsequently reimbursed back to the General Fund after payment is received. The City will be receiving $ 425,592.00 from TDA Article 3 and $25,408.00 from Measure X Local Funds.

DATE: September 5, 2023

SUBJECT: Adopt A Resolution Approving A New Capital Improvement Project (Police Firing Range Restoratio n); Amending the City Of Wasco Adopted Operating Budget And Capital Improvement Program Fiscal Year 2023/2024; t he Establishment Of A New Police Firing Range Restoration Fund Appropriation of $50,000; Authorizing the City Manager Or Designee to Procure Services And Execute Contracts Including, But Not Limited To Construction Services, Portable Office Relocation, And Other Items Related to the Firing Range Restoration Project.

Recommendation:

A. Staff recommends the City Council receive and file this report and approve a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Wasco:
a. Approving A New Capital Improvement Project (Police Firing Range Restoration);
b. Amending the City o f Wasco Adopted Operating Budget a nd Capital Improvement Program Fiscal Year 2023/2024;
c. The Establishment of a New Police Firing Range Restoration Fund Appropriation Of $50,000;
d. Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Procure Services and Execute Contracts Including, But Not Limited To , Construction Services Portable Office Relocation, And Other Items Related to the Firing Range Restoration Project in a total cumulative amount not to exceed $50,000.

B. Find that the subject activity is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 and is, therefore, not subject to review under CEQA.

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

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

137 of 201
State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.

Background:

Prior to the transfer of policing services to the Kern County Sheriff’s Office in 1981, the Wasco Police Department maintained a practice firing range adjacent to the current Animal Control Facility and Wastewater Treatment Plant at the west end of 7 th Street.

Interviews with long -time residents place the range in the area generally south of the facilities.

With the activation of the Wasco Police Department (WPD) imminent, a need to reactivate and restore the firing range is recognized. Sworn personnel with WPD will be required to qualify and re-qualify with their duty weapons on a quarterly basis to ensure Police Officer Standards and Training (POST) compliance. A local range will avoid scheduling constraints and reduce the time and expense spent traveling to other remote ranges in the region.

Discussion:

The staff has developed a preliminary pl an for the range restoration and identified the location on the attached map. (Attachment 2) To make the range safe for use, the following materials, features, and tasks must be completed:

1. Grade site and provide safety berms.

2. Electrical and Water stub out from Animal Control.

3. Irrigation materials & labor.

4. Fuel and perhaps some staff overtime.

5. A few shade trees & grass seed.

6. Shade structure slab, materials & labor. (~1200 sf)

7. Sidewalk on range materials & labor. (~6000 sf)

8. Perimeter fence materials salvaged from other sites.

9. Relocate the donated portable classrooms on-site.

To reduce costs, a majority of the work will be completed by City staff and use surplus materials already in our possession. Relocation of the portable classroom structure may cost in excess of $1 2,000 and may be deferred . Materials and contract labor costs (primarily concrete, electric wire, and piping) are expected to be approximately $30,000.

A total appropriation of $50,000 is requested to cover contingencies and volatile pricing due to continued supply chain uncertainties.

Fiscal Impact:

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Finalize and Execute a Professional Services Agreement with Flock Group, Inc. for Flock Safety Falcon camera equipment, installation, and software and licensing for the Police Department.

2) Find that the subject activity is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 and is, therefore, not subject to review under CEQA.

Environmental Review:

Thus, no environmental review is required.

Discussion:

The Wasco City Council originally approved an appropriation of $100,000 for the acquisition of ALPR cameras from Flock Group Inc. utilizing Measure X funding on January 19, 2021. The project was deferred , but the funding is still allocated for the project. This technology will help the police department and has been proven nationwide to greatly enhance criminal investigative success. Other agencies in Kern County have successfully deployed the system. An updated quote (Attachment 2 ) has been received , which provides for an initial five (5) locations and a total of ten (10) cameras. A preliminary

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

142 of 201
location map is included in Attachment 4. A comprehensive review by the Flock Group will determine the precise location of each camera to maximize effectiveness.

The Wasco Police Department is in the final phase of adoption of Lexipol policy and procedures (Attachment 3) and has established an Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) technology policy consistent with industry standards. This policy will be brought to the Council for review and consideration in September, prior to the deployment of any cameras.

Fiscal Impact:

Fiscal Impact is $41,500 at contract signing and $30,000 ongoing after Year 1. Previously approved Measure X appropriations contained sufficient funds to cover this expenditure.

No budget action is required with the approval of this item.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Finalize and Execute a Purchase Agreement with Capture Technologies, Inc. for a Police Department dispatch voice recording system in the amount of $28,137.40

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Finalize and Execute a Purchase Agreement with Capture Technologies for Eventide dispatch voice recording equipment for the Police Department.

A. Find that the subject activity is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 and is, therefore, not subject to review under CEQA.

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.

Discussion:

An integral component of the police department’s 9 -1-1 dispatch system is a voice recorder for incoming and outgoing telephone and radio communications. Two quotes (see attached) were received from vendors who provide voice recorders for emergency communications. The Eventide recorder quote offered by Capture Technologies is $28,137.40, and the Capture 911 recorder offered by Higher Ground is $19,281.25.

Staff researched other local and state agencies and determined that the Eventide dispatch recorder, provided by Capture Technologies, was regarded as the most reliable and most used device by other local law enforcement agencies. Eventide was also the

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

157 of 201
recommendation of our 9 -1-1 dispatch system contractor. The Capture 911 recorder quoted by Higher Ground was priced lower than the Eventide recorder but is not widely used by other local law enforcement agencies. The Eventide recorder is also highly regarded by local police departments for providing responsive after-sales service, support, and repair.

Fiscal Impact:

Fiscal Impact is $ 28,137.40. Equipment and Technology expenses included in the Adopted 2023-2024 Police Department Operating Budget are sufficient to cover this expense. No budget action is required with the approval of this item.
