TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager
Charlie Fivecoat, Chief of Police

DATE: February 6, 2024

SUBJECT: Approval of Travel Expenses Exceeding $500.00 for Police Officer Ethan Alegria to attend the POST Advanced Gang Investigations Course in San Diego, CA on 02/19/24 – 02/23/24.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:

1. Approval of Travel Expenses Exceeding $500.00 for Police Officer Ethan Alegria to attend the POST Advanced Gang Investigations Course in San Diego, CA , on 02/19/24 – 02/23/24; 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 l5060(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 l5060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.

Discussion:

The POST Advanced Gang Investigations course is designed to improve effectiveness of comprehensive gang related criminal investigations, crime scene management, interviewing skills, search and seizure, search warrant prepa ration, and courtroom testimony.

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.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

22 of 115
Fiscal Impact:

It is estimated that the cost of travel and training for the POST Field Training Officer course will not exceed $1,500.00. The adopted FY 2022- 2023 Operating Budget contains sufficient funding to cover this expense, and no budget action is required with approval of this item.

The training is also POST reimbursable for travel and per diem expenses. POST Control # 3550-26000-23-003.

From: Ethan Alegria
Date: 12/4/2023
Re: Advanced Gang Training/Core Course

Please consider my request to attend these two upcoming courses in regard to gang training and investigation training. I believe that attending both of these courses will further my skills in conducting more advanced and complex investigations that this police department will handle, especially with the growing gang issues in this city and in the surrounding area.

Thank you

Luis Villa, Public Works Director

DATE: February 6, 2024

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to approve a purchase order with SCL North in an amount not to exceed $23,000.00 to purchase 26 Replacement Light Fixtures.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:

1. Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager To approve a purchase order with SCL North in an amount not to exceed $ 23,000.00 to purchase 26 Replacement Light Fixtures; 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:

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:

The existing lighting on Highway 43 , South of Poso Avenue, is powered by solar panels and batteries. These batteries have reached the end of their useable life and cannot stay on throughout the night. This issue has been noted by staff going back a few months now. When the battery issue was realized, s taff procured quotes for replacement batteries for a cost of approximately $30,000.00. This quote did not include the installation of the batteries, only the batteries themselves. The installation of the batteries was estimated to cost an additional $10,000 to $15,000. It is important to note that each light

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

44 of 115
has four (4) batteries. There are 26 lights on the Highway , totaling up to 104 batteries requiring replacement.

After noting the significant cost of the battery replacement and future battery replacements, staff began to look into purchasing replacement light fixtures that run on hard wire power rather than solar power.

After some research, Staff procured a quote for 26 replacement fixtures. This quote came from SCL North, which supplied the original lights. This ensures the replacement fixtures will properly fit on the existing poles. The cost of $21,744.40 is nearly $9,000 lower than just replacing the batteries. It is important to note that replacing these fixtures will also require the installation of conduit and wire from existing panel boxes to power the new fixtures.

Staff estimates that this work will cost around $50,000.00. While the estimated cost of $71,744.40 may seem high at first, if the batteries were replaced instead , the City would likely need to replace them again in another 5-7 years.

Due to the future cost savings and reliability of hard -wired lights, Staff recommends purchasing these 26 replacement fixtures from SCL North.

Fiscal Impact:

The 2023/2024 FY budget (Project 20214 ) allocated a n additional $ 550,000.00 to implement street lighting installations City-Wide. The account currently has $1,200,000.00 remaining. This Project would be well within the budget constraints of these funds.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

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

DATE: February 6, 2024

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Accepting a Right of Way Offer of Dedication and Authorizing the City Clerk to file the acceptance with the County Recorder’s Office.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:

1. Adopting a Resolution Accepting a Right of Way Offer of Dedication and Authorizing the City Clerk to file the acceptance with the County Recorder’s Office.

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

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:

The City owns Parcel 49001004, the property located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Central Avenue and Poso Avenue. This parcel will be the future location of a City Water Well and storage tank. Abutting this Parcel, the City has two planned improvement Projects that are to take place within the next two fiscal years: one on the North side along Poso Avenue that will widen Poso Avenue to match the roadway to the East and another Project on the West side of the Parcel that will widen Central Avenue approaching Poso Avenue going North adding a turning lane and widening the road to match what is South and North of the intersection.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

53 of 115
In order for our designs to properly align with the City’s Right of Way, the City must formally offer and accept the right of way from ourselves. This process essentially requires the City to donate to itself land as a right of way from Parcel 49001004.

While we currently need to accept the right of way offers on the N orth-West and East sides of the Property, Staff believes it is most beneficial to go ahead and deal with getting the right of way in place on the South- side of the parcel as well, so we can eventually complete the cul-de-sac.

Staff is requesting that the Council adopt a Resolution to accept the attached offer of dedication as described in the exhibit and legal description in regards to 75 feet of right of way on the West end of the parcel abutting Central Avenue, 20 feet of right of way on the North end of the parcel abutting Poso Avenue, 10 feet of right of way on the East end of the parcel abutting Martin Street and varying widths along the South end of the Parcel to complete the cul-de-sac at the West end of Garden Street.

Fiscal Impact:

None.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authoriz ing the City Manager or Designee to Finalize and Approve a purchase order from A-Z Bus Sales for the purchasing of two (2) Electric Vans for the amount of $ 362,036.34 and Authorize the City Manager or Designee quantity adjustment in the amount not exceeding $5,000.00 for the Transit Department.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:

1. Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to finalize and Approve the purchase order from A-Z Bus Sales to purchase two (2) Electric Vans for the amount of $362,036.34 for the Transit Department; and

2. Authorize the City Manager or Designee to approve quantity adjustment in the amount not exceeding $5,000.00 for the Transit Department; and

3. 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 prop osed 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 f iscal/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 2022, the City of Wasco was awarded a California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA) Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) grant in the amount of one

million dollars ($1,000,000), to purchase three (3) medium electric shuttle buses and implement a contactless payment system that aligns with California Integrated Travel Project efforts.

On May 25, 2023, the City Council approved the purchase of two (2) Electric Z-1 Ford Transit 350 Resolution No. 2023-3885, attached hereto as Attachment 1.

Staff was contacted by A -Z bus Sales to inform the city that due to the ongoing supply chain issues, production of these models has been halted and is no longer available. The vendor also mentioned that they have model Ford E-Transit 350 MR available; these vans are slightly smaller than the previously ordered. Although these vans are smaller, the cost is slightly higher but still within budget. However , there are some adv antages to these vans. The slightly smaller size vehicle is more maneuverable in tight streets and easier to park. Also, there is an add -on feature of a secondary high voltage (HV) battery system that extends the range of the E-Transit by removing all additional battery loads, such as heat and air conditioning, cameras, wheelchair lifts, contactless payment systems, dispatching tablets, and radio. The secondary battery system lets the E-Transit Van cover more ground on a single charge, reducing downtime and ensuring an extended range.

DATE: February 6, 2024

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to finalize and execute a purchase order w ith Advance Communications & Consulting, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $35,000.00 to purchase and install point-to-point network connections at City-owned properties.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:

1. Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to finalize and execute a purchase order w ith Advance Communications & Consulting, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $ 35,000.00 to purchase and install point -to-point network connections at City-owned properties; 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.

Discussion:

The City needs to install long- range radios at the Amtrak Station Tunnel and Pioneer Building properties, which will allow the city network to be at both locations. A n etwork connection is needed to properly secure these locations with security cameras and enable access control capability.

Staff contacted three vendors to provide quotes for this project, but only two vendors responded to inquiries due to the project’s requirement for tower climb -certified personnel. Quotes received are as follows:
