SUBJECT: A dopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Sign and Execute an Agreement with John Kular Consulting in an amount not to exceed $ 160,500.00 for Engineering Services Related to the Stormwater Master Plan Update.

Recommendation:

1) Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Sign and Execute an agreement with John Kular Consulting in an amount not to exceed $160,500.00 for Engineering Services Related to the Stormwater Master Plan Update; and 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 Department of Housing and Community Development has granted $125,000 to the City of Wasco for updating its Stormwater Master Plan. The current master plan was last updated in 2007, and since then, the city has undergone significant development.

According to the current master plan of the City, the storm system does not have the capacity to accommodate new development. This means that on -site retention is required for development , which can be inhibitive to developers and reduces the footprint of availab le land for development. The goal of the project is to update the Stormwater master plan to benefit the entire community of 24,046 household residents Staff recommends the City Council:

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

(according to the CA Dept. of Finance, 2020). This will ensure that the current Stormwater Drainage System and infrastructures can accommodate the existing population, as well as provide the necessary provisions for the expected growth in the community up until 2045.

A Request for Qualifications was advertised on March 9, 2023, and a sole bid was received. John Kular Consulting (JKC) came in with a bid amount of $1 60,000.00. Kular Consulting has been providing civil engineering services since 2012, many of which are related to the water system of the city. If JKC is awarded the project, they will evaluate the condition of the existing stormwater infrastructure, identify any capacity limitations, formulate a comprehensive capital improvement plan (CIP), and present a solution that meets the city's requirements until 2045.

Approval from HCD was necessary to demonstrate a good faith effort to procure consultants, as only one bid had been received.

Bid Results

1. John Kular Consulting: $160,500.00

Fiscal Impact:

The city will cover $160,500.00 for CIP Project #24008. $118,000.00 will be reimbursed through the Community Development Block Grant, while $42,500.00 will be paid by the general fund.

DATE: November 7, 2023

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to approve a purchase order w ith Berchtold Equipment in an amount not to exceed $22,000.00 to purchase a Utility Vehicle for the Wastewater Department.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or designee To approve a purchase order with Berchtold Equipment in an amount not to exceed $22,000.00 to purchase a Utility Vehicle for the Wastewater Department; and

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:

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 Sec tion 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.

Discussion:

The Public Works Department needs a utility vehicle with a four-wheel drive to navigate through muddy areas during wastewater and stormwater maintenance, especially during heavy rainfall. Such a vehicle would be highly useful to the staff for setting up transfer pumps and diverting water in flooded areas. Additionally, the water department could also benefit from the u nit for tasks such as water turn -ons/offs, door hangers, and small tasks like reading meters.

Staff received a quote of $20,544.66 from Berchtold Equipment Company to purchase this unit, which is a Sourcewell Provider, eliminating the need for competitive bidding.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

32 of 82
In accordance with the City’s municipal code, the City may utilize joint powers agreements to procure equipment. The City is a member of Sourcewell . Sourcewell is a national cooperative power agreement allowing the City to purchase equipment without further competitive bidding.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

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

DATE: November 7, 2023

SUBJECT: Adopt A Resolution Approving A New Capital Improvement Project #24029 (G Street Lighting ) and Amend the City of Wasco Adopted Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program Fiscal Year 2023/2024 for the installation of new lighting on G Street Between 8th street and Filburn Street and Appropriation of $762,700.00 funds.

Recommendation:

A. Staff recommends the City Council to Adopt A Resolution Approving A New Capital Improvement Project #24029 (G Street Lighting ) and Amending the City of Wasco Adopted Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program Fiscal Year 2023/2024 for the installation of new lighting on G Street and Appropriation of $762,700.00 funds; and

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). It has been 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 that 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:

In September of 2022, the City was made aware that the Street lights on the east side of G Street had been removed as part of the high -speed rail project. Staf f immediately started working with High-speed rail/California rail builders’ staff to find both a temporary and a permanent solution.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

36 of 82
After weeks of discussions, staff agreed to have CRB install temporary lighting on G street that would consist of 15 ft poles with a solar street light panel mounted on the top.

This was agreed to be a temporary fix; meanwhile, the permanent solution was discussed and approved.

Discussion:

After months of discussions about a permanent solution between City staff and CRB, staff recommended moving away from solar-powered lights and installing standard lights using PG&E power.

The city's past experience with Solar lights has not been cost-effective, with maintenance and replacement batteries at a high cost.

Similar to prior agreements between the City and High -Speed Rail (HSR) , the parties agree that the City will take on this project, outside the HSR environmental envelope.

The G Street lighting would be completed beyond California Rail Builders’ (CRV) timeline and Scope of work; at CRB's request, the City submitted an engineer’s estimate of cost if the City took on the project. HSR/CRB agreed to pay the amount in order for the City to complete the project.

Fiscal Impact:

The installation of New lighting on G Street Fund Appropriation of $762,700.00, already received from CRB.

WHEREAS, In September of 2022, the City was made aware that the Street lights on the east side of G street had been removed as part of the High-Speed Rail project; and

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

DATE: November 7, 2023

SUBJECT: Approval of Travel and Training Expenses Exceeding $500.00 per trip for the Accounting Supervisor and Finance Director to attend the League of Cities 2023 Municipal Finance Institute on December 14 –15, 2023.

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 Accounting Supervisor and Finance Director to attend the League of Cities 2023 Municipal Finance Institute on December 14 –15, 2023; and

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/administrati ve 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:

The Municipal Finance Institute is specially designed for city officials and staff involved in fiscal planning for municipalities. The Municipal Finance Institute conference is the event to discover essential information that finance directors and other municipal finance professionals need to do their jobs.

Taking place the week of December 7, this innovative conference will touch on current topics of importance to finance directors, including a sales tax update with the California Dept. of Tax & Fee Administration, city finance and law and elections updates with Michael Coleman, League fiscal policy advisor The program also includes updates on

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

pensions and CalPERLA and what is next from the CA supreme court. Virtual networking opportunities will be available as well!

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

• California and Local Economic Update,
• Public cyber security case study,
• Budget Management,
• CalPERS Updates,
• Transaction and Use Tax,
• Sales tax working group updates,

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 growth of our workforce, we infuse our workplace with renewed energy and proficiency. Training opportunities not only provide avenues for lea rning but also facilitate the creation of valuable professional networks.

Staff recommends approval for the participation of Accounting Supervisor, Luis Campos, and Finance Director , Isarel Perez -Hernandez, in the upcoming Municipal Finance Institute Annual Training.

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. Because this trip will exceed $500.00, the City Council must approve this request.

Fiscal Impact:

It is estimated that the cost of th is training will not exceed $3,5000, including the conference and travel expenses. The training cost is contained in the adopted FY 2023 – 2024 Budget; no budget action is required.

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

DATE: November 7, 2023

SUBJECT: Approval of Travel and Training Expenses Exceeding $500.00 per trip for the Accounting Supervisor and Finance Director to attend the California Society of Municipal Officers 2024 Annual Training Conference on January 30 – February 2, 2024, in Anaheim, CA.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Approval of the travel and training expenses exceeding $500.00 per trip for the Accounting Supervisor and Finance Director to attend the California Society of Municipal Officers 2024 Annual Training Conference on January 3 0 – February 2, 2024, in Anaheim, CA.; and

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 becaus e 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:

The California Society of Municipal Officers (CSMFO) 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, CSMFO serves as a valuable resource for both public agencies and the professionals working within them. The annual CSMFO Training Conference brings together a wealth of expertise, covering a comprehensive array of topics relevant to public employers.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

57 of 82
The conference typically encompasses a diverse range of subjects, including but not limited to:

• Accounting and Financial Reporting,
• Capital Asset Accounting,
• Public Construction Cost Accounting,

• Financial Planning and Cash Flow forecasting
• Proposition 172,
• Rethinking Reserves,
• Managing Pension Costs,

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.

Staff recommends approval for the participation of Accounting Supervisor, Luis Campos, and Finance Director, Isarel Perez-Hernandez, in the upcoming CSMFO Annual Training.

You can find the preliminary conference program attached for your reference.

The cost of the training, 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. Because this trip will exceed $500.00, the City Council must approve this request.

Fiscal Impact:

It is estimated that the cost of th is training will not exceed $3,5000, including the conference and travel expenses. The training cost is contained in the adopted FY 2023 – 2024 Budget; no budget action is required.

This session will focus on these challenges, including recent guidance that governments should apply in the implementation of these standards. In addition, there were three GASB Statements issued in 2022 and one additional GASB Statement planned for issuance in 2023 that should be on everyone’s radar. These standards and more will be addressed in this must attend session.

Speaker: Alan Skelton, Director of Research and Technical Activities, Governmental Accounting Standards Board

This session aims to provide an in-depth overview of the current state of the insurance market, focusing on emerging trends that are shaping the insurance landscape.

Proposition 172: A Changing Landscape
Established in 1993 to replace lost local government funding (ERAF), Proposition 172 (Prop 172) is a 0.5% sales tax dedicated to public safety. It brings in a whopping $4.7 billion each year. While counties receive the largest portion of these funds – most cities also benefit. Over the last 24 months, Prop 172 allocations have experienced dramatic changes. Why? What are the variables that influence funding? How does the complicated allocation methodology work? How best to project Prop 172 revenues? Join us as we take a closer look at this significant local government revenue source and dissect the details of the funding methodology.

4 Speakers: Tanya Harris, Assistant Auditor Controller, County of Riverside Kyle Tajima, Senior Analyst, Administrative Office, County of Los Angeles Bobby Young, Director of Client Services, HdL Companies Rethinking Financial Reporting: What is the Balance between the Cost of Compliance and the Benefit to Users?
The current system of financial reporting is a hot topic. In recent years, there have been several new GASB statements that have altered the financial reporting landscape. Some have questioned whether these new statements constitute an improvement to financial reporting. Do these requirements impose compliance costs on local governments more than the value that users of the financial statements get from the information produced? At this session, we’ll explore what finance officers think about the compliance requirements for annual financial reporting; present and get your feedback and ideas for possible alternatives and modifications to the traditional financial reporting, and discuss how we might turn these ideas into reality.

Speakers: Jennifer Becker, Financial Services Director, City of Burbank Shayne Kavanagh, Senior Manager, Research, Government Finance Officers Association
Jean Rousseau, Executive Director, California Society of Municipal Finance Officers
Rethinking Reserves
Governments are subject to financial shocks, including natural catastrophes, recessions, and more. Financial reserves (a “rainy day” fund) are essentially a form of self-insurance that governments use to buffer themselves against these risks. But what are the risks governments should be concerned about and what size of reserves are appropriate to cover those risks? Speakers in this session will answer these questions and more. Participants will leave with resources and strategies to apply risk-aware and risk-savvy thinking to reserves in their own organizations.

Speakers: Mike Sylvia, Finance Director/Treasurer, City of Vista Sara Taylor, Budget Manager, City of Vista
Shayne Kavanagh, Senior Manager, Research, Government Finance Officers Association
Chris Morrill, Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer, Government Finance Officers Association
Turning the Tide in Torrance: Paving the Path of Prosperity The City of Torrance (population 140,000) historically maintained a reputation of financial prosperity and budgets balanced with little controversy. Over the last 15 years, balanced budgets were approved with strong sales tax and property tax revenue increases and healthy salary increases. In 2020, what once were “healthy” general fund reserves dropped to $581,000 (from a historical high of $38 million). Learn how Torrance rose from the floor, lessons learned from this experience (the importance of long-term financial forecasting, key performance indicators, how to successfully pass a tax measure, and 62 of 82
5 transparency in the budget and Council/public communication), and how city staff were able to regain the trust of the City Council and constituents.

Speakers: Sheila Poisson, Finance Director, City of Torrance Craig Hill, Managing Principal, NHA Advisors, LLC

Financial Management
Advanced Tools for Managing Pension Costs and UAL
CalPERS pension costs for local government employers present a challenge to even the most skilled and disciplined financial professionals. The topic is complex, with an array of terms, gray-areas, and differing viewpoints on the best strategic approach. What may work well for one employer may be entirely wrong for another, based on their plans’ particular demographics or economic circumstances. In this session, two CalPERS actuaries will dive into the deeper waters of pension cost management and strategy. The goal is to equip employers with the technical acumen and tools they need to make the best decision for their agency, members, and plans. Special attention will be given to two tools CalPERS has developed to help agencies make the most informed decisions possible:
• Pension Outlook tool, which models rates based on variable discount rates, investment returns, and Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) membership, and
• Managing Employer Contributions, a customized spreadsheet that incorporates all your plans’ actuarial bases and options like early payoffs, additional discretionary payments (ADPs), and “soft fresh starts.”
This will be a highly valuable session for those who have already built a firm foundation and understanding of pension costs and are now focused on positioning their agencies to best manage those costs.

Speakers: Fritzie Archuleta, Deputy Chief Actuary-Special Programs, California Public Employees’ Retirement System
Randall (Randy) Dziubek, Deputy Chief Actuary, California Public Employees’ Retirement System

6 CalPERS Actuarial Information/Valuations 101
With the recent increased attention to the unfunded accrued liabilities of pension plans, pension obligation bonds (POBs), and other financing options, finance practitioners need to become well-versed in how to read actuarial reports, including basic terms, methodology, and information essential to determining your pension plan contribution requirements and funded status. This session will explain what you need to know in clear terms and will help you translate this complex information for decision makers, employees, bargaining units, and the public.

Speaker: Julian Robinson, Senior Pension Actuary, California Public Employees’ Retirement System
Fees! You got “em.” How do They Work Today?
This session will present a brief review and an update on the full range of municipal fees, including general fees, regulatory fees, development impact fees, and property-related fees.

Legal developments will be discussed, including those related to the following:
• Stormwater fees in light of the new Commission on State Mandates v. California Department of Finance case allowing property-related fees for parts of the mandate viewed as “trash fees.”
• Franchise fees under the Zolly Case.
• The proposed California Business Round Table measure that would severely restrict municipal fees and other revenue tools.

City Manager and Council concerns and perspectives, as well as those of General Managers and Boards, will be highlighted and discussed.

Speakers: Christina Turner, City Manager, City of Morgan Hill Michael Colantuono, Partner, Colantuono Highsmith Whatley PC Tim Seufert, Managing Director, NBS
Financial Data Transparency Act
As one of the last acts of the 117
th Congress, federal legislators passed the National Defense Authorization Act of 2022 with several amendments. One of those amendments, the Financial Data Transparency Act (FDTA), sets a timeline to impose new requirements for municipal bond issuers and how they disclose that information to their investors. Who will be impacted and by when? What information may be required? What new technologies does the law require? Come to this session to learn more and know what you can do to prepare for the FDTA.

Speakers: Emily Brock, Director, Federal Liaison Center, Government Finance Officers Association
Katano Kasaine, Board Member, Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (Magic) Secrets Revealed! Using Audits to Save You Money Agencies confronted with new or continuing pressures to reduce costs have asked what more they can they do to save money. In this session, you will learn how conducting an FLSA audit could save your agency thousands of dollars. An audit identifies policies and practices that are not in compliance with the FLSA. Finding noncompliant areas typically 64 of 82
7 results in financial savings because it allows the agency to fix these problems through negotiations, payroll changes, and policy modifications, and avoid costly litigation. The session also addresses the best timing for an audit, what to audit, and how to best implement any needed changes.

Speakers: Tatiana Szerwinski, Assistant Director of Administrative Services, City of Beverly Hills
Peter Brown, Partner, Liebert Cassidy Whitmore
Navigating Unpredictable Costs of Pension and OPEB Liabilities The rising costs of pensions and other postemployment benefits (OPEB) continue to create financial uncertainty for public agencies. Many are forecasting that these costs will outpace their revenues in future years. With market volatility, changes to actuarial assumptions and accounting requirements, inflation, and other dynamics at play, what can cities do now to address these concerns? This session will discuss important questions that agencies should be asking about the future of their pension and OPEB obligations. This panel will also address the latest updates on actuarial valuations and how OPEB and pension liabilities may be impacted moving forward. A case study of the City of Bakersfield will highlight tools and strategies the City has implemented to manage these liabilities.

Come join an engaging panel discussion on ways to optimize your deferred compensation plans and increase the financial confidence of your employees. The panel will discuss the fiduciary responsibility of the plan sponsor, and a government agency will share the process it took to revamp its deferred compensation plan, resulting in lower cost, better class of investments, and improved participation and savings rates.

Outsourced Accounting and Financial Management Services Increasingly today, local government finance departments find themselves with fewer resources – either financial or human capital. Current budget and recruiting challenges are putting pressure on existing leaders and staff to keep up with the workload of a larger staff.

Many agencies have strategically pivoted to leverage outsourcing providers to continue to deliver superior external and internal services. These providers assist with day-to-day accounting or processing tasks, financial management projects that are on the to-do list but seem to fall by the wayside due to a lack of enough hours in the day, or both. In this session, agencies will share how obtaining outside assistance has helped them, and a firm providing these services will speak to how they can be tailored to the needs of each individual agency based on short- and long-term needs.

A Perfect Storm: Stormwater Costs in a Prop 218 Environment Managing stormwater in California has been challenged by two conflicting forces.

Revisions to the federal Clean Water Act in 1987 compelled municipalities to take responsibility for controlling the substantial pollutants in stormwater runoff. Estimates for the cost to large cities can range in the billions of dollars. At the same time, Proposition 218 (approved by California voters in 1996) and subsequent case law require municipalities to seek voter approval before establishing or increasing stormwater fees.

Together, these forces create the “perfect storm” – meeting exponentially rising service demands while addressing the legal and political barriers to funding such services.

Comprehensive stormwater programs include operations, maintenance, planning, engineering, regulatory compliance, and large capital investments – all of which require ongoing and sustainable funding sources. Many municipal stormwater programs have had 66 of 82
9 to rely primarily on a combination of insufficient legacy fees and general fund resources to fund operational and infrastructure needs; however, this approach cannot meet the large, growing liability of stormwater management. This presentation will address the “perfect storm” brewing within California’s stormwater programs by identifying unfunded mandates and public health requirements, reviewing the barriers to funding, and highlighting the strategies municipalities are using to manage the “perfect storm.” Specific examples will be drawn from the City of San Diego. San Diego currently estimates operating and capital costs of approximately $5 billion through FY 2035 and is turning to a combination of general fund resources (including a WIFIA loan backed by general revenues), together with potential new revenue measures, to close its projected funding gap.

How WIFIA Works Magic for California’s Water Utilities
The Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) program is a government bank operated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that provides supplemental, flexible, low-cost credit assistance to public and private borrowers for all types of wastewater, drinking water, and stormwater projects. The WIFIA program offers long- term loans that can be combined with State Revolving Fund assistance, municipal bonds, and federal and state grants to help communities deliver more critical water infrastructure projects for a lower cost with less impact on rate payers.

In this session, we will provide an update on the WIFIA program and describe WIFIA’s water infrastructure-related eligibilities and priorities. Additionally, we will describe the benefits and flexibilities of WIFIA financing, including single fixed interest rates, customized repayment schedules, opportunities for subordination, long repayment periods for borrowers, and the ability to pair with other types of debt. Finally, we will demonstrate, through data and case studies from current WIFIA borrowers, how WIFIA loans are providing financial benefits to communities throughout California, financing nearly $15 billion in project costs and saving borrowers over $2.8 billion.

Prop 218: The Force Awakens in Special District Compliance Special districts have long been a vital source of financing for public facilities and services, but have you stayed in compliance with Proposition 218 (“Prop 218”)? Recent court cases have changed how Prop 218 is applied to special districts and it’s important to stay in compliance with the changes. Join us for an in-depth discussion on Prop 218 and its implications on both existing and future districts and what you need to know to remain in compliance and maximize your revenues. The City of Santa Clarita maintains numerous financing districts and will discuss its experience with Prop 218 and how it has adapted with changing legislation.

Water agencies are currently facing mounting infrastructure costs, with the replacement of aging pipelines at the forefront of the challenge. Most of these assets were installed underground over 60 years ago and are now beyond their expected useful life. Combined with a drop in water sales due to increasing water efficiency norms, water agencies are looking to new business models to close the financial gap. One model gaining traction views water infrastructure as a service to the property owner. This approach places onto the county’s property tax roll a Water Infrastructure Capital Charge that can assist in funding the critical water repairs and replacement needs of its community. This panel will discuss the legal, economic, and operational aspects of implementing such a charge. Learn from agencies that have implemented this business model as they discuss the ramifications you will need to evaluate in deciding if this approach is best suited for your agency and community.

Moving into a new executive role, especially at a new agency, can be a huge boost to your career, but also presents different challenges than promoting within the same agency. In addition to the basics – applying your experience to the new role, doing your best to fit in, and getting a few wins early on – we have come up with 5 ways to succeed in your new executive role at a new agency. The 5 ways are (1) have little to no expectations coming in; (2) build relationships and get out of your office (city council, city manager, department heads, vendors, etc.); (3) listen more, speak less; (4) be hands-on, get into the trenches to understand what people do because this will help transform and improve procedures; and (5) build and maintain your network so you can rely on people who can help fill your gaps, which frees you up for more valuable and meaningful work.

How to Communicate Effectively with your City Council
This session will discuss how to use a financial assessment tool to communicate with your City Council.

We will discuss how and why they used it, and how it was received by the city council.

Rebranding Our Profession: Making Public Finance Sexy
Careers in accounting have historically been viewed for their utility. Every organization that collects and spends financial resources requires competent bookkeeping, reporting, auditing, and professional accounting services. But the profession seemingly is in decline.

The utility is there, but perception of a career, notably at the current levels of compensation or by the individual analysis of the cost-benefit of preparatory time and money has weakened, if not disappeared. And unfortunately, careers in governmental accounting, finance, budgeting, and procurement management are leading the way. Partly because of a stigmatization that government work is mundane, irrelevant, and even the domain of the least qualified, public entities have struggled to find prepared and competent, let alone exceptional, talent. The stigma of “government work” in financial services needs to be erased. But what will take its place?
This session will focus on the financial demands placed on governmental agencies, the resources available, and the status of the workforce currently, including prospects in the pipeline. Additionally, the perceptions of those considering a career in government finance and ideas on how agencies and the profession can re-brand itself in a model attractive for recruitment and retention will be explored.

DATE: November 7, 2023

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Finalize, Sign and Execute a Task Order #23 to Agreement No. 2020 -008 with BHT Engineering for Design and Engineering services for the Southgate Lighting and Pedestrian Improvement Project in an amount not to exceed $65,040.00 and allowing the City Manager or Designee to execute Contract Change Orders and to make quantity adjustments not to exceed $7,000.00.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:

1) Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Finalize, Sign and Execute a Task Order # 23 to Agreement No. 2020-008 with BHT Engineering for design and engineering services for the Southgate Lighting and Pedestrian Improvement Project in an amount not to exceed $65,040.00, and allowing the City Manager or Designee to execute Contract Change and to make quantity adjustments not to exceed $7,000.00; and

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.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

76 of 82
The City has recently received Federal funding to improve pedestrian facilities in the Southgate area of the City. This area is between 13th Street and 16th Street and Broadway and D Street. This project will improve street lighting by adding thirteen (13) streetlights.

Also, it will be adding ADA ramps, retrofitting drain inlets, and improving signage. Passing this resolution for a task order is the first step in the process of taking this project out to bid, by having BHT start designing for construction plans and specs for the RFP.

Discussion:

The City has provided a preliminary project design to the electric provider, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) to start their coordination on the preliminary design for their electrical plans and spec s. The next step is to have consultant BHT Engineering start their design and spec for construction. Having PG&E start their preliminary design first is due to having PG&E approval process taking between seven to ten months, depen ding on their schedule. BHT Engineering is serving as the City’s on- call engineer and has provided a cost proposal to perform the engineer services for the design. Staff is requesting to authorize the city manager or designee to execute Task Order #23 with BHT Engineering to complete the design and to make quantity adjustments not to exceed $7,000.00.

Fiscal Impact:

The City budgeted $80,000.00 for design (Projects No.22014) CDBG/TDA funding and is well under budget at $65,040.00, and the quantity adjustments of $7,000.00 with a savings of $7,960.00.
