DATE: October 17, 2023

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution A uthorizing the Submittal of FY 2022 -23 CalRecycle SB1383 Local Assistance Grant Program Application for Funding and Authorize the City Manager or Designee to Execute the Grant Agreement and any Amendments Thereto.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution authorizing the submittal of an application for funding and authorize the city manager or designee to execute the grant agreement and any amendments thereto for the FY2022-23 CalRecycle SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program.

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

Discussion:

The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) offers the SB1383 Local Assistance Grant Program under Chapter 395, Statutes of 2016, in a statewide effort to reduce short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP) emissions. The targets must reduce organic waste disposal by 50 percent by 2020 and 75 percent by 2025 and rescue food for people to eat at least 20 percent of currently disposed surplus food by 2025.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

16 of 134
This non-competitive grant program offers $90,000,000 available for this grant cycle, Fiscal Year 2022-23, of funding to local jurisdictions to assist with the implementation of regulation requirements associated with SB 1383, including but not limited to:
• Capacity Planning
• Collection
• Edible Food Recovery
• Education and outreach (includes organic waste & edible food recovery) • Enforcement and Inspection
• Program Evaluation/Gap Analysis
• Procurement Requirements/ Record Keeping
The City of Wasco estimated SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Funding FY2022-23 is approximately ($75,000.00). Base award amounts were set at $75,000 for eligible entities, and the remaining funds were distributed to eligible entities based on per capita calculations using the Department of Finance’s January 2023 population statistics.

The City of Wasco plans to purchase and implement fleet management software and hardware to comply with SB1383 regulations, maintain records, and track cloud -based software. The software has the capability to track various data, including the compliance and enforcement of organics collection services. A significant portion of the funds will be allocated towards this purchase. The remaining funds will be utilized to cover consultant costs related to organics collection implementation, capacity planning, education and outreach, enforcement, and inspection. This will help the City to streamline its operations and ensure efficient compliance with regulations.

The application deadline for SB1383 Local Assistance Grant Program is November 15 , 2023, and tentatively April 1, 2024, CalRecycle will be considering funding and approving awards. Then, the City will have from April 1, 2024, to April 1, 202 6, to implement the proposed project and file the final report.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

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

DATE: October 17, 2023

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution to Authorize the City Manager or Designee to finalize and execute a contract amendment with Infrastructure Engineers, Inc., a Bowman Company, in an amount not to exceed $30,000 for completion of the City’s 2024-2032 6
th Cycle Housing Element upon satisfaction of the City
Attorney and the requirements and contingencies identified herein.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to finalize and execute a contract amendment with Infrastructure Engineers, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $30,000 for completion of the City’s 2024-2032 6th Cycle Housing Element.

2) Find that the subject activity is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3)

Environmental Review:

This Project is exempt from CEQA because the Housing Element is a general, overarching guidance and policy document to promote equity for a City’s housing supply and does not dictate any specific measures to be taken in any single housing development.

Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Project will result in a significant effect on the environment. As such, the commonsense exemption would apply, and this Project would be considered exempt based on CEQA Exemption 15061 (b)(3), which states the following:
“The activity is covered by the commonsense exemption in that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

Where it can be se en with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

20 of 134
” This is because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, as per the referenced exemption, based on the fully mitigated status of the project’s impact on the local environment.

Discussion:

On December 6, 2022, the City Council authorized the City M anager to enter into Agreement No. 2022-047 (attached hereto the staff report) with Infrastructure Engineers for the completion of the City’s 2024 -2032 6 th Cycle Housing Element. Infrastructure Engineers was the only proposal the City received , and the initial contract was in the amount of $149,567, which was just below the $150,000 LEAP grant the City had for this project.

Significant and steady progress has been made on the City’s 6 th Cycle Housing element,
and the draft document is now under review with the State Department of Housing and Community Development. City Staff and Infrastructure Engineers staff have met with State staff via Zoom 3 times to discuss the State ’s comments on the document. Formal written comments are due back to the City by October 24. Once the written comments are received, we will work with Infrastructure Engineers to address the comments, adopt the document , and resubmit to the State for certification . The project remains on schedule; however, we are at the end of our budget and need an additional amount to address the State’s comments and complete the document.

Without a copy of the State’s formal written comments, Infrastructure Engineers are unable to provide the City with a specific budget for the additional wo rk required .

However, they have agreed that based on the preliminary verbal comments, the work required to address the State’s comments and complete the document is estimated at $20,000. In the interest of moving this project forward and to completion in a timely manner and within the State’s deadlines, Staff is requesting that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract amendment in an am ount not to exceed $30,000 to address the State’s comments and complete the document.

The overall budget with the additional funds is more in line with what other cities are paying for completed Housing Elements , and the City is benefiting from cost savings realized as a result of Infrastructure Engineer's work on a Housing Element for a neighboring city.

Fiscal Impact:

Kern Council of Governments Kern COG will soon be receiving an additional allocation of Regional Early Action Planning funds in the amount of $924,200, which will be divided evenly among member cities. The City of Wasco’s share will be $73,165.83. This funding will be used to cover the additional Housing Element costs . The cost will be coded to Project Number 23001.

Wasco, CA 93280
Attention: Keri Cobb, Community Development Director
Subject: Proposal to Prepare the 2024-2032 Housing Element Update Dear Ms. Cobb:

In response to the City’s Request for Proposal ( RFP), Infrastructure Engineers is pleased to submit our qualifications to prepare the 2024-2032 Housing Element Update and required environmental determination for the City of Wasco to ensure it meets the State’ s housing mandates, while being innovative and achievable at its heart.

The Housing Element Update ( HEU) will need to demonstrate how it will provide an adequate inventory of sites on which to accommodate new housing units during the 2024- 2032 planning period. The HEU will address the 6th Cycle Housing Element Guidelines and Regional Housing Needs Assessment ( RHNA) housing unit goals, while also addressing the environmental impacts that the increased housing development may cause as well as the effects of that increase on the quality of life. Infrastructure Engineers is here to assist the City of Wasco meet those challenges in a timely and cost- effective manner.

We Understand – The Housing Element Update will analyze the City’ s progress toward meeting the housing goals put forth in its 2015-2023 Housing Element and show how the current and future housing needs of the City will be met in the 2024- 2032 planning period. The HEU will also incorporate all new requirements and housing laws that aim to continue removing barriers to housing production and incentivize the development of housing, particularly affordable housing, and should contain a strategy that analyses the financial feasibility of providing needed affordable housing with strategies on how to develop such housing. In summary, the City expects the chosen consultant to 1) Assess the effectiveness of current housing programs, goals, and policies; 2) Address the production of housing units for all income categories; 3) Identify housing characteristics and special housing needs; and 4) Explain how the City will accommodate the RHNA for the upcoming 6th Cycle; and 5) Identify and comply with new state housing laws and programs.

Our Mission – Since our founding in 1994, Infrastructure Engineers has had a singular mission based on a set of culture principles and fundamentals. That mission is to be the best municipal services provider. Period. Our extensive list of satisfied clients is evidence that we are succeeding in our mission.

Ready to Serve – The Development Services Department at Infrastructure Engineers is taking the lead on this assignment and is responsible for preparing this proposal. Our highly experienced and dynamic team of in- house urban and environmental planners and technicians, housing specialists, transportation engineers, and technical studies experts, are ready to serve the City of Wasco and complete the scope of work as expressed in the RFP. For this assignment, we are partnering with several outstanding firms that are familiar with the City of Wasco and the greater San Joaquin Valley.

Project Approach – Our strategy will approach the project from a “ macro” perspective first, or the broader point of view, and will then focus on the specific details, or the “ micro” view, as the initial research and studies are completed. For example, to prepare the sites inventory analysis, we will study the overall number of potential housing sites throughout the City on a global scale and then narrow our analysis to a neighborhood level to DocuSign Envelope ID: B8B9BCF1- 98CA- 45ED- A351- 7BFD7752A8BC 42 of 134

perform a more intimate study of the sites themselves. This process will help us maintain an accurate survey and resulting count of potential developable housing sites to which we will apply specific parcel data such as ownership, parcel size, current uses, zoning, proximity to high quality resources, infrastructure availability, and physical features to determine developable potential.

Community engagement will factor greatly into our project approach. We understand the importance of engaging the community at an early stage in the process. Our team is experienced in the art of coordinating and facilitating a variety of scoping meetings, workshops, charrettes, and pop- up events in both a traditional and virtual – COVID- 19- compliant – manner. Our community engagement team will also take the lead in preparing the required presentation and collateral materials necessary for optimum engagement with the public.

With our experience working on complex and challenging projects of similar scope and nature simultaneously – like Environmental Justice Elements, Safety Element Updates, General Plan Updates, and Zoning Code Amendments – our staff possess the ability to work effectively, and efficiently. This includes research, data collection, fieldwork, and analysis. This method of teamwork will make the production of documents and cost efficient.

We also view the various local and state agencies and identified stakeholders as partners in the process of developing a successful Housing Element. Our community engagement and public relations team will reach out to the various stakeholders and will work to keep them informed throughout the process. Outreach will extend to local neighborhoods, elected officials and community leaders both in Wasco and adjacent cities, Kern County administrators, state representatives of the Department of Housing and Community Development ( HCD), the State Clearinghouse ( SCH), various transportation agencies, including Caltrans, utility companies, Councils of Government ( COGs), and most importantly housing and homeless assistance organizations. These could include the Kern County Housing Authority, the California Veterans Assistance Foundation, and the Kern County Department of Human Services, to name a few.

The Core Infrastructure Engineers Project Team – For this assignment, we will rely on our Development Services Department and its highly experienced staff to spearhead the preparation of the Housing Element Update, appropriate environmental analysis, and associated documents. Our team of creative and forward- thinking planners, and technicians have the right stuff when it comes to understanding the sustainability of the quality of life and the myriad of environmental considerations that have an impact on the everyday lives of the residents of the City of Wasco. The Infrastructure Engineers project team is committed to working in unison with City staff and the community to ensure that the goals and objectives of the project are met and that the scope of work is performed in a timely and cost- effective manner while being innovative and achievable at its heart.

In addition to our consulting partners, the core team at Infrastructure Engineers will consist of myself as Principal- in- Charge and Planning Manager; our Project Manager, Malia Durand; and our Environmental Manager, Albert Armijo. As Principal- in- Charge, I will also be responsible for quality control and assurance and will be the primary liaison to the City through the duration of the project.

Relevant Experience – The preparation of a housing element update is a complex and time- consuming endeavor that requires hands- on experience and the ability to conduct research, compile data, perform fieldwork, perform analyses, and prepare the conclusions required to produce a comprehensive and detailed document, all the while maintaining frequent communications with City staff, HCD and other oversight agencies, the public, and community stakeholders. This is especially true of the level of work that will be required to update the Housing Element for the City of Wasco and obtain certification by the state.

Infrastructure Engineers is currently working on three 2021- 2029 Housing Element Updates for the Cities of Huntington Park, Lynwood, and Adelanto, and one 2024- 2032 HEU for the City of Shafter. IE is also preparing the related environmental documents for each of these HEUs. For the Wasco HEU, and because of the changes in State law for the preparation of 6th Cycle Housing Elements, we will utilize a method of research, fieldwork, data collection, and analysis similar in nature to the method we are using in the preparation of each of our current HEUs.

We have achieved maximum efficiency due to our strict discipline, organization, management style and, most importantly, our talented staff. We are confident that our team is the one to deliver a quality Housing Element on time and on budget to the City of Wasco.

We acknowledge and accept all terms and conditions contained in the RFP and attest that the terms of our proposal are firm for a period of 180 days from the date of submittal.

Proposal for HousingElement Update

D. Firm’s Demonstrated Understanding
Infrastructure Engineers appreciates that a well-executed Housing Element creates a blueprint for a community’s future population growth, residential development and, ultimately, its quality of life for residents. Long-range planning is the key mechanism for communities to identify and pursue great visions for their future. The Infrastructure Engineers team willassist the Cityof Wasco staff with the preparation of the City’s 2024-2032 HousingElement Update.

Infrastructure Engineers understands that the Housing Element Update will analyze the City’s progress toward meeting the housing goals put forth in its 2015-2023 HousingElement and show how the current and future housing needs of the City will be met in the 2024-2032 planning period. The HEUwill also incorporate all new requirements and housing laws that aim to continue removing barriers to housing production and incentivize the development of housing, particularly affordable housing, and should contain a strategy that analyses the financial feasibility of providing needed affordable housing with strategies on how to develop such housing. The Housing Element Update will include the following analyses: 1) Assess the effectiveness of current housing programs, goals, and policies; 2) Address the production of housing units for all income categories; 3) Identify housing characteristics and special housing needs; and 4) Explainhow the Citywillaccommodate the RHNAfor the upcoming 6th Cycle; and 5) Identify and comply with new state housing laws and programs.

Our team believes in the critical importance of community engagement and public participation in the development of HousingElement Updates. Our team willengage local constituencies, residents, business owners, and other stakeholders, to capture their needs and expectations related to future residential development and to identify strategies and mitigations favored by the community while meeting the City’s RHNAand CaliforniaDepartment of Housingand Community Development (HCD) goals and requirements.

Staff willconduct an overall review of the of the City’s General Plan to ensure consistency across all the Elements and identify any possible additional Elements that should be amended as a result of the Housing Element Update.

Infrastructure Engineers understands that the proposed Project is exempt under State CEQAGuidelines 15061(b)(3) common sense exemption, because the Project involves policies, programs, and actions to meet the City’s RHNAallocation that either would not cause a significant effect on the environment or incorporates actions that have already been taken by the City. Based on these factors, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed 6th CycleHousing Element Update would have a significant effect on the environment; therefore, the 6th Cycle Housing Element is exempt from CEQA under the commonsense exemption. Infrastructure Engineers will prepare the CEQA Exemption accordingly.

Our staff is prepared to attend a minimum of three to five public hearings, workshops, and scoping meetings to support the production, presentation and adoption/ certification of the Updated Housing Element and associated environmental documents. Infrastructure Engineers staff has years of experience working together with Citystaff and the State Department of HCDin the timely development, production, and certification of HousingElement Updates.

For this assignment, we willrely on our Development ServicesDepartment and its highlyexperienced staff to spearhead the preparation of the Housing Element Update, appropriate environmental analysis, and associated documents. Our team of creative and forward-thinking planners, traffic engineers, environmental specialists and technicians have the right stuff when it comes to understanding the sustainability of the quality of life and the myriad of environmental considerations that have an impact on the everyday lives of the residents of the Cityof Wasco.

review Citydocuments and provide a summary of citywide conditions, resources, constraints, and funding options. Documents include, but are not limited to, the General Plan, Ordinances, Housing Programs and Policies, and related environmental documents. We will identify existing governmental and non- governmental ( i.e., environmental) constraints to accelerated housing development within the Cityand formulate strategies to combat and alleviate these constraints. Infrastructure Engineers will conduct an analysis of the City’s progress towards meeting the identified goals, policies, and programs since the adoption of the current HousingElement in the previous cycle (2015-2023). Thisevaluation of the existing Housing Element willaid in the identification of existing programs that may require revision or expansion to enhance the efficiency in attaining the goals outlined in the Housing Element. Thisevaluation willalso assist in determining additional programs that may be necessary.

Deliverables: Inventory of information and data in PDFformat.

Task 2. 2: Housing Assessment and Needs Analysis
Infrastructure Engineers willcomplete a fullhousing assessment and needs analysis that is in compliance with state laws. We willobtain and analyze current demographic, economic, infrastructure and housing data needed to complete this task. The assessment willinclude the following:

Identification of the Study Area: This includes the entire City for which the Housing Needs Assessment applies.

Evaluation of Demographics & Economics: The profile will provide in-depth details about the market areas, including population and household characteristics, development characteristics, economic characteristics, current housing stock, and the housing market conditions.

Evaluation of Community and Public Services: Our team will provide an overview of services available to residents, including, but not limited to, parking alternatives, public transit, shopping, medical, public safety, recreational facilities, utilities, and public infrastructure. These identified services willbe evaluated to determine how they affect potential demand for housing.

Housing Stock Inventory: Thissection willinclude housing stock characteristics that are analyzed and displayed for the study areas. These characteristics include, but are not limited to, housing tenure ( renter vs. owner), age of housing, general housing condition, housing values, rent levels, etc. The analysis willinclude housing gap estimates for each target market by identifying net gain, decline and demand of market-rate and income-restricted housing utilizing various levels of income stratifications.

Our team will also take an inventory of rental housing supply that includes multifamily rental housing properties in the study areas, such as government- subsidized and affordable TaxCredit properties, as well as market-rate properties.

We willtake inventory of for-sale housing supply that includes data for the subject market from sources such as Multiple Listing Services, Realtor.com, and the local tax assessor. Data will be collected and analyzed for both historical sales (typically from 2010 to current) and available information on for-sale housing alternatives. Thiswillprovide valuable information such as sales trends, includingpricing, and the product that is currently available for purchase.

Finally, we willidentify projects in the development pipeline.

Stakeholder Interviews: We will conduct interviews and
obtain local insight from area stakeholders regarding
current housing conditions and trends, to identify
anticipated housing needs, and to determine if there are barriers that exist that may limit residential development in the market. Stakeholders will be asked for input on
what housing products or markets should be a priority for the area. This insight is used in conjunction with
quantitative data to assess market issues. The use of
surveys disseminated to developers, stakeholders and
throughout the City’s demographic population will aid in the collection of public opinion.

Housing Gap Analysis (Demand Estimates): Based on the existing housing stock within the study area and both current and projected demographics, a housing gap analysis willbe completed for the primary study area ( PSA). The gap analysis will determine whether a deficit or surplus of housing units exists for households at various income bands for rental and for-sale housing. The demand analysis willconsider existing current household estimates, as well as household growth projections by income and tenure. The rental demand calculations should also consider cost- burdened households and those livingin substandard housing. The for-sale demand calculations will take into consideration household growth and the need for replacement housing ( older, substandard housing).

Conclusions/Recommendations: The conclusions typicallysummarize the depth of the market for additional housing within the PSA. Specific conclusions may include recommendations for the types of housing development that should be pursued and supported, as well as types of housing that will be needed in the short, medium and long term ( projected five years ahead, or longer), recommendations as to the types of programs that the local government should consider expanding or providing for the development/ redevelopment of necessary housing and recommended priorities for funding of projects.

Deliverables: Inventory of information and data in PDFformat.

Task 2. 3: Housing Parcel Identification ( Sites Inventory) Analysis Our team willprepare a sites analysis showing the relationship between the City's 6thCycleRHNAand the City’s current dwelling unit capacity, availabilityof potential housing sites based on zoning, infrastructure, and General Plan policies, requirements, and limitations. We willalso work with staff to identify potential zoning strategies to address need for additional housing unit capacity. Potential zoning strategies could include the rezoning of sites to accommodate for the City's RHNA.

Deliverables: Inventory of information and data in Excelformat.

Task 2. 4: Housing Production Constraints Analysis
Our team will identify programmatic, physical, and financial housing resources available in the City. As well, we willanalyze geographical, administrative, and other constraints. Thiswork willinclude review of existing cityregulations, codes, and standards related to housing. Where constraints exist, we willpropose strategies to address them. Interviews with City staff/ local developers/ affordable housing stakeholders willbe conducted to determine what the primary constraints to accelerated housing production are within the City. Our research will include review of current City regulations, codes, and standards related to housing.

Our team will conduct interviews and
obtain local insight from area
stakeholders regarding current housing
conditions and trends

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

DATE: October 17, 2023

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution withdrawing Integrated Demolition & Remediation Inc. bid proposal from consideration for the Labor Camp Abatement Project.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution withdrawing Integrated Demolition & Remediation Inc. bid proposal from consideration for the Labor Camp Abatement Project.

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:

The City entered into an agreement with the California High Speed Rail in June of 2023 which allowed for reimbursement for the City to move forward with the demolition of the old Farm Labor Camp located at 750 H Street. Issues with crime, homelessness, fires, theft, etc., have plagued this area for the past few years as it has remained abandoned.

The first step in the process of clearing the site is the abatement of hazardous materials.

Two studies were performed at the site , which collectively identified three hazardous materials that will need to be abated prior to demolition. The three identified substances are Asbestos, Lead Paint, & Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB’s). The majority (quantity-wise) of the hazardous materials identified by far was asbestos.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

81 of 134
Staff issued a request for proposals on August 27, 2023, in a coordinated effort between the City, the California High-Speed Rail, and the San Joaquin Air Pollution Control District to get the structures cleared of all hazardous materials.

On October 4, 2023, at 2:00 PM, bids were received, opened publicly, and read.

Staff received five (5) bids from Contractors as follows:

Contractor Cost

Integrated Demolition & Remediation $1,497,000.00
Central Valley Environmental $2,597,000.00
Resource Environmental $2,970,000.00
PARC Environmental $2,987,000.00
Bowen Engineering & Environmental $3,480,000.00

After review of the received bids , it was immediately noted by Staff that Integrated Demolition & Remediation Inc.’s bid proposal was much lower than the other bidders.

Hours after the bid opening, contact between Staff and the noted Contractor was made, at which time the Contractor indicated that they had made a calculation error prior to filling out their bid sheets and would like to withdraw their bid. Staff instructed the bidder to submit a written request for review.

This written request was received on October 4, 2023, at 4:18 PM via email. Staff reached out to the City Attorney for direction. The City Attorney noted that we can allow the withdrawal to take place as long as the following elements of the Public Contract Code Section 5103 were met: (a) That a mistake was made; (b) That the bidder gave the public entity written notice within five working days excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and state holidays, after the opening of the bids of the mistake specifying in the notice in detail how the mistake occurred; (c) That the mistake made the bid materially different than the bidder intended it to be; and (d) The mistake was made in filling out the bid and not due to error in judgment or to carelessness in inspecting the site of the work or reading the plans or specifications.

All of the above elements were found by Staff to be met. As such, Staff is recommending that the C ouncil allow the withdrawal of the bid from Integrated Demolition & Remediation, Inc.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

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

DATE: October 17, 2023

SUBJECT: Approve the amended Resolution No. 2023- 3929, removing the purchase of a Ford F-150 pick-up truck and replacing it with a Dodge Ram 1500 pick- up truck for the Water Department.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Approve the amended Reso lution No. 2023- 3929, removing the purchase of a Ford F-150 pick-up truck and replacing it with a Dodge Ram 1500 pick -up truck for the Water Department; and
2) Find that this action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act S tate 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 July 18, 2023, the Water Department was granted approval by the Council to acquire a new pickup truck. The initial plan was to purchase either a Ford F- 150 or a Chevrolet 1500 model. However, due to ongoing supply chain issues, production of these models has been halted. National Auto Fleet Group contacted city staff regarding an available Dodge Ram 1500, similar to the models previously approved by the Council. The Ram 1500 pricing came in approximately $1,000 lower than the previously approved models.

Based on the limited availability and slightly lower price, the staff recommends purchase of the Ram 1500 instead of the initially requested vehicle.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

105 of 134
This new truck will replace an aging heavy-duty utility truck and will be used to save fuel on smaller jobs such as meter reads, customer complaints, and inspections. Additionally, it will be used for staff training and picking up smaller parts from neighboring cities.

According to the City's municipal code, joint powers agreements can be used to procure equipment. The City is a member of Sourcewell, a national joint power agreement that allows the City to make equipment purchases without further competitive bidding. The City will be obtaining the truck using Sourcewell Contract No. 091521 -NAF. A quote was received from National Auto Fleet Group for both a Ford F-150 and a Chevrolet 1500. The updated quote for the Dodge Ram 1500 will be attached to Resolution No. 2023-3929 (1).

Fiscal Impact:

Council initially approved the purchase of a new pickup truck for the water department on July 18, 2023 - Reso No. 2023-3929. The purchase will be funded by CIP project #22005, in an amount not to exceed $40,000.00.

DATE: October 17, 2023

SUBJECT: Approve the amended Resolution No. 2023- 3872 removing the GMC Sierra 3500 Single-cab Flatbed Pickup Truck and replacing it with a GMC Sierra 3500 Crew-cab Flatbed Pickup Truck for the Sanitation Department.

Recommendation:

Staff would like to provide information only to the City Council:
1) Approve the amended Resolution No. 2023- 3872 removing the GMC Sierra 3500 Single-cab flatbed Bed Pickup Truck and replacing it with a GMC Sierra 3500 Crew-cab flatbed Bed Pickup Truck for the Sanitation Department; and

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 May 2, 2023, Council approved Resolution No. 2023 -3872, Authorizing the City Manager or designee to approve a purchase order in an amount not to exceed $75,618.82 to purchase one GMC Sierra 3500 flat Bed Pickup Truck for the Sanitation Department from Motor City GMC.

During the build process of the truck, there was an error in the type of cab and bed style ordered. The original was a Regular single-cab flatbed one-ton Pickup. On September 22, 2023, staff was provided an email with an updated quote and estimated time of delivery. At this time, staff noticed an increased price and the error in cab and bed style.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

112 of 134
(Crew cab flatbed one-ton Pickup) Staff finds we have no issue with the different types of cab and bed styles as the truck will still provide th e same performance in the work expected when initially requested. GMC has honored the original quoted price (no other incurred cost).

The staff report and the new quote will be attached to Resolution No. 2023-3872 (1).

Fiscal Impact:

The City budgeted $75,000.00 in the 2022-23 budget (Project No. 22009) for one Flatbed pickup for the Sanitation Department. The final cost from Motor City GMC is $74,318.95, which is less than the original quote.

SUBJECT: Adopt A Resolution Authorizing t he City Manager o r Designee to accept the Grant Award of $501,478.00 and Execute a Grant Agreement and any amendments thereto for The FY 2023-2024 California Department of Justice (DOJ) Tobacco Grant Program.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resoluti on authorizing the City Manager or designee to accept the award and execute a grant agreement and any amendments thereto for the FY 2023-2024 Tobacco Grant Program from the California Department of Justice (DOJ)

2) Find 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:

This action is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 and is , therefore, not subject to CEQA since it does not have the potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The approval of this agenda item does not commit the City to a definite course of action concerning a project since the action authorized herei n may lead to the negotiation of a grant agreement . This proposed activity is, therefore, not subject to CEQA . Any future action connected to this approval that constitutes a project will be reviewed for compliance with CEQA.

Discussion:

The California Healthcare, Research, and Prevention Tobacco Tax Act of 2016 (Proposition 56) provides local public agencies funding to promote a healthier California by reducing illegal sales and marketing of cigarettes and tobacco products,

including e-cigarettes, to minors. The Office of the Attorney General makes these annual funds available to local law enforcement agencies through the California Department of Justice (DOJ) Tobacco Grant Program.

Grantees may use grant funds to enforce a local ordinance or state law related to the illegal sale and marketing of tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, to minors and youth, including, but not limited to:
• Enforcement of flavor ban laws/ordinances
• Retailer compliance and licensing checks
• Consumer protection enforcement
• Illegal online sales and marketing, including use of door-to-door delivery services • Retailer training programs
• Public education outreach

The Tobacco Grant Program has a highly competitive award process, as evidenced by the Department's receipt of over $48 million requests for the 2023-24 grant cycle. The City of Wasco has been awarded $501,478.00 to hire one (1.0 FTE) Police Officer for 36 months.

The officer's duties will include conducting retailer enforcement, inspections, ret ailer education, and tobacco community education outreach.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or designee to approve a purchase order with WESCO in an amount not to exceed $340,000.00 to purchase 45 streetlights for the Downtown Renovation Project.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or designee to approve a purchase order with WESCO in an amount not to exceed $340,000.00 to purchase 45 streetlights for the Downtown Renovation Project.

Environmental Review:

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:

Project #22012, the Downtown Renovation Project, funded by the Clean California Grant, includes replacing 45 streetlights. One of the requirements of these funds is that the Project be completed before June 30, 2024.

This tight deadline requires that the City do anything within its ability to speed up the process of construction, materials procurement, etc. With the current lead time of streetlights, procuring these materials ourselves could substantially impact the project

schedule. Additionally, cost savings are expected versus having the Contractor front the cost of the lights or worry about the procurement.

On Sunday, August 27, 2023, the City advertised a request for proposals to procure street lighting materials. On September 12, 2023, the bid’s due date, zero bids were received.

After seeing no bids received, Staff reached out to suppliers one by one and was able to procure the following three quotes:

Supplier Price

WESCO $334,155.67
SCL North $335,565.00
OneSource $340,920.00

After reviewing the supplied quotes, the Staff has concluded that WESCO’s proposal is the most cost-effective and recommends purchasing from them.

Fiscal Impact:

This purchase order in the amount of $334,155.67 will leave approximately $6,165,000.00 remaining in the project budget. No further budget action is required with approval of this item.

2) Find that this action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; ther efore, 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.

Background:

Start-up of the Wasco Police Department, combined with increasing reliance on the City’s information te chnology systems, has created a need for additional in -house technical resources. The City’s outside technology services provider provides a majority of basic desktop, network and security management functions required. However, the Police Department techn ology infrastructure will demand 24/7 availability and a significantly higher security threshold.

Discussion:

The proposed Information Technology Manager position will complement the City’s current IT Specialist position to provide day- to-day support, troubleshooting and coordination with our outside technology consultants and vendors. Significant training investments will be made to ensure familiarity with critical applications including the new PD dispatch and case management application, city -wide camer a and access management system, and expansions of our accounting and document management systems. It is anticipated the position will be approximately 75% focused on PD start -up activities through Q1 2024 but ultimately will provide city-wide support.

Staff recommends using approved PD start-up personnel budget for the recruitment and hiring phase with a budget adjustment during mid -year review, if needed. A Mid - Management exempt Pay Range 12 ($80,379 to $102,893) is recommended.

CalPERS Compliance:

The City Council annually approves the Salary Schedule for the given 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 Agen cy members. Section 570.5 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) further clarifies compensation earnable.

For purposes of determining the amount of “compensation earnable” pursuant to GC sections 20630, 20636, and 20636.1, the pay rate shall be limited to the amount listed on a pay schedule that meets all of the following requirements:

1. Has been duly approved and adopted by the employer’s governing body in accordance with requirements of applicable public meetings laws;

2. Identifies the position title for every employee position;

3. Shows the pay rate for each identified position, which may be stated as a single amount or as multiple amounts within a range;

4. Indicates the time base, including, but not limited to, whether the time base is hourly, daily, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, or annually;

5. Is posted at the office of the employer or immediately accessible and available for public review from the employer during normal business hours or posted on the employer’s internet website;

6. Indicates an effective date and date of any revisions;

7. Is retained by the employer and available for public inspection for not less than five years; and

8. Does not reference another document in lieu of disclosing the pay rate.

All eight (8) requirements must be met in one salary schedule for each member’s pay in order for CalPERS to approve the pay amount as pay rate and reportable compensation earnable. All employers must comply with the compensation -earnable provisions and corresponding regulations of the PERL.

The noted change in the Salary Schedule for Fiscal Year 2023 – 2024 is the addition of the Information Technology Manager position, which requires City Council approval and submission to CalPERS.

Fiscal Impact:
130 of 134
Impact to current FY 2023 -2024 adopted budget is expected to be minimal as full PD staffing is not anticipated before FY end. The mid-year budget review exercise will revisit staffing levels and bring any needed appropriation requests to Council for consideration at that time.
