Recommendation:

Staff recommends the Governing Board
1) Adopt a Resolution of the Successor Agency to the Former Wasco Redevelopment Agency Authorizing the Signing Authority for all Successor Agency Bank Accounts; 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 Successor Agency bank accounts require a formal resolution by the governing body to authorize representatives on their behalf to establish new accounts and or modify existing accounts and to make deposits or withdrawals into the bank account . Through this resolution, we are adding Alexandro Garcia as Mayor and Valentin Medina as Mayor Pro-Tem. We are removing Vincent Martinez as Mayor.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Approve a Purchase Order with SCL North in an Amount Not to Exceed $275,000.00 to Purchase 77 Tree Grates & 93 Well Lights 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 SCL North in an amount not to exceed $275,000.00 to purchase 77 Tree Grates & 93 Well Lights for the Downtown Renovation Project , and,

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 the installation of 77 new tree grates and 93 up-lights that shine on all of the trees in the Project. One of the requirements of these funds is that the Project be completed before June 30, 2024.

The purpose of the tree grates is to allow for the trees to be installed in a manner that they are not completely covered up by concrete, preventing water from getting down

to the roots, but instead are covered by these elevated grates under which w ill be soil that will allow for the tree to receive water, etc. The grates are custom-made and will be made of cast iron for longevity.

The well lights were utilized as part of the design to shine light upwards onto the trees further illuminating the are a as well as showcasing the landscaping around the new Downtown area. The majority of the lights are mounted directly into the tree grates, but some are mounted in composite sleeves within the concrete. The lights are tamper - resistant and low maintenance.

Staff received the following three quotes for supplying the frames and lights.

Supplier Price

SCL North $249,076.19
Lumen Solutions $255,572.27
OneSource $260,043.00

After reviewing the supplied quotes, Staff has concluded that SCL North’s proposal is the most cost-effective for the City and, as such, recommends purchasing from them.

Fiscal Impact:

The 2023/2024 FY budget (Project 22012) allocated a total of $6,656,265 for the implementation of Design and Construction for the Downtown Rehabilitation Project. To date, the City has encumbered approximately $967,986.40 in costs for design , advertisement, art, equipment procurement , etc. The approved construction contract came in at $4,190,400.00, which leaves $1,497,878.60 currently remaining for additional material procurements as well as Project contingencies. This purchase of $249,076.19 will allow for a remainder of $1,248,802.41.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Execute Contract Change Orders with KSI Engineering, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $25,000.00 in addition to the originally approved $25,000.00 for the Downtown Renovation Project

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute contract change orders with KSI Engineering, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $25,000.00 in addition to the originally approved $25,000.00 as part of the Downtown Renovation Project; and

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 govern mental 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 September 20, 2022, the City of Wasco City Council authorized the City Manager or designee to Endorse and Enter into an Agreement with KSI Engineering, Inc. for design and engineering services for the Historic Downtown Restoration Project in an amount not to exceed $100,620.00 and allowed the City Manager or designee to execute Contract Change Orders in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of $25,000.00.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

39 of 65
As part of their original Contract, KSI Engineering, Inc. billed for approximately $92,620.00, which is around $8,000.00 less than the original, not to exceed, contract amount.

During the Lighting Design Phase, it was determined that the original electrical system would not be sufficient to support the new lighting system in a manner that would be up to code. This discovery required that the entire electrical system be re-designed at a cost of approximately $29,487.00.

With the ~$8,000.00 remaining from the original approved contract, the electrical design change order cost of $21,487.00 will be paid from the $25,000.00 originally authorized by the Council for the City Manager to approve of , which leaves ~$3,513.00 currently remaining for the City Manager to Authorize.

After the design and now that Construction has begun , Staff has deter mined that KSI Engineering, Inc. will be the City’s best choice to utilize for construction survey staking due to their knowledge of the Project and their knowledge of the original topographic survey that was completed.

Staff has received an amount not t o exceed the price from KSI Engineering, Inc. of $17,500.00 to perform Construction Survey Staking for the Project.

In addition to this amount, Staff would recommend that we add an additional $11,013.00 for Engineering Contingencies to cover other Project design changes that may come up throughout the course of the Project.

These changes would require that the Council authorize the City Manager or designee to execute contract change orders with KSI Engineering, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $25,000.00.

Fiscal Impact:

The 2023/2024 FY budget (Project 22012) allocated a total of $6,656,265.00 for the implementation of Design and Construction for the Downtown Rehabilitation Project. To date, the City has encumbered approximately $1,217,062.59 in costs for design , advertisement, art, equipment procurement , etc. The approved construction contract came in at $4,190,400.00, which leaves $ 1,248,802.41 currently remaining for minor additional material procurements as well as Project c ontingencies. This authorization, if fully expended, would allow for a remainder of approximately $1,223,802.41.

Environmental Review:

Background:

The HdL Companies, as a pioneering force in auditing, operations, and revenue solutions for public agencies, has recovered more than $3 billion in revenue for their clients ; HdL has firmly established itself as a leader in the field. Founded by local government leaders, the company maintains a unique government perspective, which is evident in their commitment to supporting c lients and their impressive 99.6% client retention rate since inception.

In their role as consultants for the City of Wasco's S ales Tax and Measure X Tax, HdL Companies exemplify this commitment, ensuring transparency with stakeholders through non-confidential report sharing while adhering to state laws (Revenue and Taxation Code Sections 7056 and 7056.5) that govern the confidentiality of sales tax data . This dual commitment underscores HdL's role as a trusted partner in financial management for local governments.

51 of 65
Discussion:

From July to September, Wasco's receipts were 3.1% higher than the same period in 2022.

However, when we excluded reporting abnormalities, actual sales were down by 4.9%.

The decline is attributed to decreasing fuel-petroleum prices, hitting service station profits.

State-county pools, the City’s third -largest revenue source, experienced a significant

28.7% drop. Con struction gross receipts were also dismal due to reduced demand for contractor services. On a positive note, a variety of stores and some other businesses in the community's consumer goods sector saw strong collections as a new company joined the community. However, restaurants and hotels had mixed results, with patrons favoring quick -service eateries over casual dining venues due to price sensitivity.

Additionally, the food-drug category thrived at grocery stores, where consumers sought bargains amid declining commodity prices.

52 of 65

Statewide sales tax trends suggest that despite economic fluctuations in 2023, consumer spending remained resilient. HdL consistently did not predict a recession-based sales tax outlook, even amidst post-pandemic uncertainties. Recent data indicates that i nflation has eased, though it has not yet reached desired Federal Reserve targets. Interest rate hikes have kept borrowing costs higher than 2022 levels for homes, transportation, and equipment, but a gradual decline is expected in the latter half of 2024. The advice for households is to prioritize spending on essential items while postponing non- essential purchases whenever possible.

Fiscal Impact:

None.

SALES TAX UPDATE

CITY OF WASCO
3Q 2023 (JULY - SEPTEMBER)
Wasco’s receipts from July through
September were 3.1% above the third
sales period in 2022. Excluding reporting
aberrations, actual sales were down 4.9%.

Falling fuel-petroleum prices that peaked
in 2022 have continued to compress
service station profits. State-county
pools, the City’s third largest revenue
classification, was negative with a 28.7%
drop. Additionally, building-construction
gross receipts were dismal, as contractors
saw less demand for their services.

General consumer goods saw solid
collections at variety stores as well as
other positive businesses in this industry
as they welcomed a new company into
the community. Moreover, restaurants-
hotels had mixed results as patrons made
price sensitive decisions to eat more at
quick service eateries rather than at casual
dining venues.

Furthermore, the food-drug category had
excellent proceeds at grocery stores as
consumers looked for bargains as certain
commodity prices declined.

The voter approved transaction tax,
Measure X, experienced positive
collections with returns of 6.1%.

Net of aberrations, taxable sales for all
of Kern County declined 0.5% over the
comparable period; the San Joaquin Valley
was down 0.4%.

SALES TAX UPDATECITY OF WASCO3Q 2023

STATEWIDE RESULTS
California’s local one cent sales and use
tax receipts for sales during the months of
July through September were 1.6% lower
than the same quarter one year ago after
adjusting for accounting anomalies. The
third quarter of the calendar year continued
with a challenging comparison to prior year
growth and stagnating consumer demand
in the face of higher prices of goods.

Fuel and service stations contributed the
greatest overall decline as lower fuel prices
at the pump reduced receipts from gas
stations and petroleum providers. While
global crude oil prices have stabilized, they
remained 15% lower year-over-year. This
decline also impacted the general consumer
goods category as those retailers selling
fuel experienced a similar drop. Despite
OPEC and Russia production cuts having
upward pressure on pricing, global demand
during the winter months has softened.

Along with merchants selling gas, many
other general consumer categories
were also down from the 2022 quarter,
confirming consumers pulling back
on purchases. Home furnishings and
electronic-appliances were a couple of the
largest sectors with the biggest reductions.

As inflation and higher prices were the
main story a year ago, currently it appears
to be a balancing act between wants and
needs, leaving meek expectations for the
upcoming holiday shopping season.

Even following a long, wet first half of 2023,
spending at building and construction
suppliers moderately slowed. The current
high interest rate environment did not help
the summer period and still represents the
largest potential headwind for the industry
with depressed commercial development,
slowing public infrastructure projects
and new housing starts waiting for more
profitable financial conditions.

Despite continued increases of new car
registrations, revenue from the autos-
transportation sector slipped 2.6%. The
improved activity remains mostly attributed
to rental car agencies restocking their fleets.

Like other segments, elevated financing costs
are expected to impede future retail volume.

Use taxes remitted via the countywide
pools dipped 3.0%, marking the fourth
consecutive quarter of decline. While
overall online sales volume is steady, pool
collections dropped with the offsetting
effect of more taxes allocated directly
to local agencies via in-state fulfillment
generated at large warehouses and through
existing retail outlets.

Restaurants remained an economic bright
spot through summer exhibiting a 2.6% gain.

As tourism, holiday and business travel are
all expected to have recovered in 2024, the
industry is bracing for implementation of AB
1228 - new CA law setting minimum wages
for ‘fast food restaurants’.

With one more quarterly result to go in
2023, the recent trend of a moderate decline
appears likely before a recovery in 2024.

Initial reports from the holiday shopping
season reflect a 3% bump in retail sales
compared to 2022. Lingering consumer
confidence may have also received welcome
news as the Federal Reserve considers
softening rates by mid-2024.

SALES TAX TRENDS & ECONOMIC DRIVERS
DECEMBER 2023
San Bernadino County
56 of 65

STATEWIDE

SALES TAX TRENDS
2023/24 | 2024/252023/24 | 2024/25
Overview: Confounding some economy experts, consumer spending did not plunge in 2023. Even as product prices, consumer patterns and world influences vacillated through the post pandemic economy these past two years, HdL has consistently not forecasted a recession-based sales tax outlook. Recent trends show inflation has cooled, although not yet hit desired Federal Reserve targets. Interest rate hikes kept borrowing costs for homes, transportation, and equipment above 2022 levels.

Financing costs are expected to begin a gradual descent in the back half of 2024. Households should stay on a path of placing greater spending priorities on essential items while deferring non-essential purchases when possible.

Fuel/Service Stations -1.2% | 0.2%
T ax generators experienced a temporary spike in prices of regular, diesel, jet fuel and crude oil late in the third quarter and early fourth quarter of 2023. Given ongoing volatility across the globe, this surge mitigated a portion of the anticipated drop in associated sales tax in the third quarter (meaning revenues fell, but less than was forecast).

In addition, future outcomes show a shallower reduction than the previously anticipated change for the fourth quarter of 2023. The forecast now reflects slower historical patterns of growth for the 2024 calendar year and long-term annual gains of 2% from fiscal years 2025-2026 through 2028-2029.

General Consumer Goods -0.9% | 1.4%
The third quarter 2023 performance slightly outpaced our expectations but still sustained a mild contraction in tax payments.

This was driven by tighter family budgets while previously mentioned headwinds permeated the economy in the form of elevated interest rates, diminished savings, and the anticipation of student loan debt payments resuming. Most recent readings of consumer confidence and sentiment reflect favorable expectations for general merchandise sellers. Many retailers have kept their guidance stagnant but strength remains in off-price concepts as consumers enjoy the treasure hunt experience. The outlook for the group remains soft with mild growth returning in the second half of 2024.

Restaurants/Hotels 2.9% | 3.7%
Menu prices should continue to rise, but at a slower pace than last year. In 2Q24, AB 1228 takes effect, requiring new minimum wages for fast-food restaurants (defined as part of a national fast-food chain with sixty or more establishments in California). This law contributes to these rising prices; of note, a few major corporations already announced intent to pass costs along to patrons. Restaurants are strategically offering deals to entice consumers to keep eating out.

Hotel room rates should flatten out, but not drop as vacancy levels remain steady. The one segment that is seeing decline is fine dining as guests opt for more price-conscious alternatives.

State and County Pools -1.1% | 2.0% Long-standing eccentricity in sales tax laws led to use taxes paid into county pools declining for the fourth consecutive quarter. Returns for many online merchants are up. More in-state fulfillment has diverted tax allocations away from pools and toward fulfillment center sites as noted in the Business-Industry group, however. Early holiday sales reports showed ecommerce trends produced greater shopper penetration as increases for the entire Cyber 5 period (Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday) rose at a faster pace than the same period of 2022. Acknowledging continuously changing tax distributions to local agencies along with more buy online, pick up in store activity, FY 2023-24 results fell slightly. Outer year’s projections capture 2 to 3% per annum growth for pool-based revenues.

Autos/Transportation -2.1% | 2.0%
Vehicle owners face the highest level of negative equity in over three years, a consequence of soaring prices and financing burdens that have created a precarious situation for recent buyers. Repossessions are on the rise as used car values plummet from their peak just a year ago, intensifying financial strain on shoppers, particularly those with suboptimal credit scores. Consequently, tax revenue from the auto- transportation sector is anticipated to dip slightly over the next three quarters. However, as the Federal Reserve gradually relaxes monetary policies in the upcoming year, there is expectancy of a resurgence powered by the release of significant pent-up demand that has accumulated since the onset of the pandemic.

Building/Construction -0.8% | 3.5%
Cement and asphalt batch plant activity appears to be growing because of heightened infrastructure work around the state in addition to delayed repair projects related to last year’s storms. Roofing supply houses and roofing contractors also saw large sales increases this fall. Lumber prices have plateaued, but most other commodity rates are still increasing. Big-box home improvement centers are drawing fewer customers as shoppers forego appliances and other big-ticket outlays. Recent mortgage interest rate declines did little to benefit new development but with rates expected to move toward their new base by the middle of 2024, new home and commercial development are expected to accelerate, sparking gradual growth in overall sales that stabilizes in fiscal year 2026-27.

Business/Industry 2.3% | 2.2%
As predicted, results rose 3.7% over the year ago quarter – primarily driven by fulfillment center revenues. Accounting for nearly 30% of total revenues, fulfillment centers expanded as ecommerce leans into satisfying more orders from California-based warehouses (places of sale). Overall, the group posted mixed results. Gains by trailers/ auto parts and energy/utilities were partially offset in reductions of other segments. Heavy and light industry faced inventory, pricing, labor and demand challenges that drove down returns significantly.

Considering the influencing variables for these various sectors, HdL projects modest overall improvement for this diverse category. Given its unique composition, jurisdictional predictions vary based on the size and character of these companies within each community.

Food/Drugs 0.1% | 2.0%
Grocery stores climbed 2.3% in 3Q23 from priced-based gains as inflationary pressures pushed up revenues despite smaller volumes.

Convenience and drug stores saw weaker sales as consumers became price sensitive, diverting spending to retailers that are more affordable or offer better deals. Cannabis declined 3.3% as demand softened when compared to the spike during the pandemic. Further, competitive merchant pressure caused a significant drop in the price of cannabis products. Drug stores should experience shifting in brand loyalty as one of the major chains begins closing locations throughout the state. Nevertheless, food-drugs should rise modestly at 1% in the short term, gradually increasing to 2% in fiscal year 2024-25.

HdL Companies California Forecast
December 2023

Proposition 172
While Proposition 172 (the 1/2 cent tax rate designated for Public Safety) projections closely track with the statewide Bradley-Burns, calculations vary somewhat due to the state’s allocation methodology. HdL projects an average statewide decrease of 0.52% for fiscal year 2023-24 and a 2.17% increase for fiscal year 2024-2025. Estimates capture the recent change in county allocation factors published by the State Controller’s Office in August 2023. As Bradley-Burns countywide pool taxes diminish reflecting the shift to direct allocations for some internet-related sales, Proposition 172 pro-rata factors can swing considerably up or down for many counties.

NATIONAL AND STATEWIDE

ECONOMIC DRIVERS
U.S. Real GDP Growth 2.5% | 1.9%
Real GDP growth in the third quarter of 2023 came in at 5.2%, a significant acceleration from 2.1% growth in the second quarter.

Consumer spending and inventory investment largely drove rapid GDP growth in the third quarter. The U.S. consumer remains a powerhouse, constituting nearly 70% of all economic activity in the nation. Beacon Economics’ forecast also calls for a slowing (not recession) of economic growth in 2024 from the current pace, seeing a different pattern of growth than the Fed. Beacon predicts that consumer demand may continue to keep inflation above the Fed’s target. This, in turn, means the Fed may not loosen as they are predicting, leading to a more challenging environment for credit-sensitive parts of the economy.

According to the GDPNow estimate from the Atlanta Fed, growth in the fourth quarter of 2023 could come in between 2% and 3%.

CA Unemployment Rate 4.7% | 5.0%
On a quarterly basis, employment has declined in each month going back to July. Similarly, the state’s unemployment rate increased to 4.8% in October, up from 4.1% a year earlier. During the peak of California’s labor market in July 2022, there were roughly 2 job openings for every unemployed worker. Since then however, the number of job openings and job seekers has converged. In September 2023, there were an estimated 911,000 job openings and 913,500 job seekers, yielding a ratio of 1.003. A ratio of 1 means there is 1 job opening for every unemployed person.

CA T otal Nonfarm
Employment Growth 1.9% | 0.7%
After 29 months of post-pandemic job growth dating back to April 2021, employment growth in California was flat in September and declined in October. California’s total nonfarm employment has grown 17.9% since the trough of the pandemic; however, employment declined 0.2% year-over-year in October, the latest data available.

Furthermore, on a quarterly basis, employment has declined in each month going back to July. The cooling labor market is a lagged response to interest rate hikes during the past year and a half. Additionally, employment growth in California is constrained by the state’s high housing costs, which have contributed to significant net domestic migration losses.

U.S. Unemployment Rate 3.9% | 4.3%
Unemployment in the nation remains rock bottom with rates at

3.7% in November, and 3.7% overall in the third quarter of 2023. In October, there were 0.7 unemployed persons for every job opening, indicating a tight labor market, despite higher interest rates. The U.S. job openings rate was 5.3% in October, 2.1 percentage points lower than its peak of 7.4% in March 2022, but still higher than before the pandemic. Moreover, the labor force participation rate continues to increase, suggesting that rising income is having the expected effect of expanding labor supply, albeit at too slow of a pace.

CA Residential
Building Permits 140,295 | 146,633
California’s housing shortage is deep. By some estimates, the state was 3.5 million homes short of what it needed to accommodate its population in 2016. While the state has been building housing units at a rapid pace (about 450,000 units since the beginning of 2020 to the third quarter of 2023, according to the California Department of Finance), that pace of building will need to be sustained and/or accelerated over a decade or more to change the market. Additionally, the CDF’s updated forecasts showing a flatlined population growth in California over the next several decades will also need to hold.

CA Median Existing
Home Price $696,863 | $723,489
After nine months of year-over-year declines stretching back to October 2022, the median sale price for an existing single-family home in California returned to growth in July, rising 1.3%. Since then, price growth has accelerated, reaching 7.6% year-over-year in October 2023, the most recent month of data available. Currently, home prices are 38.5% above the pre-pandemic peak in February 2020, and 1.6% below the pandemic peak in March 2022. On a quarterly basis, Beacon Economics expects home prices to surpass the pandemic peak by mid 2024. The state’s severe housing shortage is a major reason why prices have returned to growth even though sales are still declining. Existing homeowners who are reluctant to sell because they are “locked-in” to low mortgage rates are further exacerbating the housing shortage. 2023/24 | 2024/25 2023/24 | 2024/25

Staff recommends that the City Council
1) Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee to complete and execute professional services agreements with Daniel Morgan, sole proprietor, and David Comelli dba Black Label Technologies , replacing the former agreement with Sentinel Engineering to provide Police Department technology consulting services.; 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 res ult 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:

At the February 21, 2023 Wasco City Council meeting, to support the Wasco Police Department start -up, Council approved a Resolution authorizing execution of a Professional Services Agreement (“PSA”) with Sentinel Engineering to provide technology consulting services.

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 1506 0(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.

Discussion:

Staff is recommending reorganizing the committees, add and remove committees as deemed appropriate.
