TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager
Tom Schroeter, City Attorney
Maria O. Martinez, City Clerk

DATE: August 6, 2024

SUBJECT: Appointment of Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore due to Council vacancy.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) Appoint a Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore due to Council vacancy; 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 15378, 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:

Effective August 1, 2024, District 5 City Council Member Alexandro Garcia submitted his resignation, leaving the appointed position of Mayor vacant . Normally, the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem positions are appointed by the Councilmembers as part of the annual reorganization meeting. When a vacancy occurs mid-term, City practice is to have the Council select from its members a new Mayor and, if necessary, a new Mayor Pro Tem.

Discussion:

Staff recommends that Council accept nomination(s) for the Mayoral appointment and hold a role-call vote to confirm the selection. Should that action result in a vacant Mayor Pro Tem position, the process should be repeated to establish a new appointment for Mayor Pro Tem. As is the tradition or policy in other Council matters, should a tie vote occur during this process, the acting Mayor (Mayor Pro Tem, in this case) shall break the tie with their vote.

Background:

Effective August 1, 2024, District 5 City Council Member Alexandro Garcia. submitted his resignation, leaving an unexpired term vacant, expiring November 2024. The Council must provide guidance to Staff regarding the process to fill the vacancy.

Discussion:

Within sixty (60) days of a Council vacancy occurring, Government Code §36512, requires the City Council to either fill the vacancy by appointment of an eligible elector (an individual who is currently living within the District 5 boundaries and is a registered voter) or call a special election to fill the vacant position.

Staff has determined that if the City Council elects to fill the vacancy through appointment, there would be minimal financial impact, primarily for advertisement costs.

the annual program is to prevent serious injury and death from motor vehicle crashes so that all roadway users arrive at their destination safely.

The City of Wasco Police Department applied for this grant and is planning to implement best practice strategies in order to reduce the number of pedestrians and bicyclists killed and injured in crashes. The funded strategies include bicycle rodeos, Walking School bus events, community events, presentations, and workshops. These measures will be targeted toward neighborhoods/areas with high numbers of pedestrian and bicycle - related crashes, including underserved areas, older adults, and school -aged children.

Coordinated efforts aim to prevent fatalities and injuries among vulnerable non - motorized road users by working with community- based organizati ons such as Bike Bakersfield, School District, and Code Enforcement, implementing Safe Routes to School initiatives, and adopting a Safe System Approach.

The Department plans to organize two bike safety rodeo events in response to recent accidents involvi ng pedestrians and bicyclists. These events aim to educate young children about bike safety skills by simulating real -life situations. The rodeo events will include providing bikes, locks, lights, and helmets for low-income families, inspecting and fitting bicycles and helmets, and a skills course where children can learn various techniques for bike safety. The Wasco Police Department Bike Safety Rodeos aims to collaborate with community-based organizations to increase knowledge and awareness of pedestrian and bicycle safety.

Grant Period is from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025.

This resolution authorizes the City Manager or designee to execute the grant agreement, a budget appropriation of $25,000.00 for the City of Wasco Police Department, and or any amendments required to participate in the OTS Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program.

Fiscal Impact:

These countermeasures should be conducted in communities with high numbers of pedestrian and/or bicycle related crashes including underserved communities, older adults, and school-aged children. Coordinated efforts such as Safe Routes to School initiatives, Safe System Approach, and working with community based organizations are highly encouraged to prevent fatalities and injuries of vulnerable non-motorized road users.

GRANT AGREEMENT
Schedule A

GRANT NUMBER
PS25035

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
The City of Wasco is a community in the San Joaquin Valley with a population of 28,337. It is located in northwestern Kern County and is equidistant from State Highway 99, and Interstate Route 5, intersected by state routes 46 and 43. Like most small cities in Kern County, Wasco's economy largely depends on agriculture. The latest Census reports that most of the population is comprised of low-income Hispanic or Latino residents, which accounts for 85.4 percent of its residents.

The City of Wasco is in the process of transitioning from the Kern County Sheriff Law Enforcement contract to establish its own local Police Department. The Wasco Police Department has already recruited most police officers and personnel for the new department and aims to become operational by March 2024. The department's primary objective is to address transportation safety for all users, including pedestrians and bicyclists, by organizing bike rodeos and community events to raise awareness and build trust within the community.

According to the latest OTS crash rankings, the city of Wasco ranks 15th highest (out of 93 same-size cities in the state) for pedestrian crashes invovling adults 65 or over and 27th highest for pedestrian crashes involving children 15 or under. This underscores the need for bicycle and pedestrian safety education. SWITRS data also shows the number of crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists has increased significantly in Wasco in recent years. In 2020, only 1 pedestrian was injured, and no bicyclists were involved in crashes. However, by 2022, 5 pedestrians and 4 bicyclists had reported injuries. To reduce the loss of life resulting from traffic crashes, education addressing transportation safety for all users will save lives in Wasco. Consequently, the strategies presented in this grant program will primarily focus on children and older adults.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

48 of 547
the annual program is to prevent serious injury and death from motor vehicle crashes so that all roadway users arrive at their destination safely.

The Wasco Police Department plans to improve its management of traffic -related incidents by purchasing and implementing a complete eCitation System mobile application reporting solution. This will enable them to submit complete crash reports to the California Highway Patrol's Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) or their departmental records management system (Sunridge Systems, RIMS) as needed.

They will use the eCitation system mobile application, a complete citation writing system for mobile devices that uses Bluetooth printing and reads barcodes for driver and vehicle information. This software can be installed on handheld de vices, allowing officers on patrol to write citations faster, collect driver and vehicle information from barcodes, and quickly select violation codes, court dates, and other items. This information can then be exported electronically to courts, RIMS, and the SWITRS database.

The department will also have access to a full -featured Collision and Citation analytics system for running searches, summaries, patterns, and traffic trends. The data will be fed to the California Highway Patrol SWITRS database in rea l-time, which will help the department combat traffic hazards and make driving safer for community residents. The Wasco Police Department aims to provide law enforcement with tools that enhance transparency, are not burdensome, and minimize unnecessary delays and bottlenecks in accessing collision data and statistics.

The implementation of technology in the Police Department offers significant benefits for the following reasons:
- The eCitation Software application drastically reduces officers' time issuing citations in the field by automatically populating information. This not only improves officer safety through increased situational awareness but also ensures high-quality and accurate citations and traffic collision reports. This prevents court rejections and reduces the labor required from our department's records division.

- This software is cutting-edge for law enforcement, with only Bakersfield PD's traffic division currently using the electronic citation feature in Kern County. All officers in our agency will be equipped with portable ticket printers and will have access to the application on their department cell phones.

Grant Period is from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025.

This resolution authorizes the City Manager or designee to execute the grant agreement, a budget appropriation of $157,000.00 for the City of Wasco Police department, and or any amendments required to participate in the OTS Traffic Records -Traffic Records Improvement Project.

Fiscal Impact:

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 herein 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 Kern County Housing Authority plans to de velop a new 50 -unit, one -bedroom income-restricted seniors housing project on the vacant 4 -acre site east of DaVita for residents with a farmworker history. The Housing Authority intends to allocate 50 project-

based HUD vouchers to the project, which triggers the need for a NEPA review by the responsible jurisdiction (in this case, the City).

The City does not have adequate staff resources to conduct these types of reviews. As a result, we have an open professional services contract with QK for this type of work. QK provided a proposal to conduct this review (see attached). The total cost to conduct the work is $32,260. Per the City’s user fee schedule, all environmental review services are charged at consultant cost plus a 25% admin. charge to cover the City’s costs.

City staff has invoiced the Housing authority for this amount ($40,325) and will authorize work to begin as soon as payment is received.

Fiscal Impact:

None. The Housing Authority will cover the cost of the work plus the 25% city admin fee.

City of Wasco
419 W. Murray Avenue
Visalia, CA 93291
Subject: NEPA Support Services – Wasco Senior Apartments, Wasco, CA Dear Ms. Cobb:

Thank you for contacting QK for assistance in the above referenced project. The City of Wasco (City) and the Kern Housing Authority (KHA) intends to seek United States Department of Housing and Urban Development/Community Development Block Grant ( HUD/CDBG) funds for the proposed project . Therefore, c ompliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) must be met. QK has put together the following proposal for preparation of the supporting technical document.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
It is our understanding that the project includes the construction of a one-story garden-style apartment complex to be located on Ocotillo Street, east of North Palm Avenue (APN# 487- 040-60). The site area totals 4.07 acres and is currently vacant. WSA will feature 50 one -bedroom units that will be income-restricted to senior households age 55 and over with a farmworker history, as well as one three -bedroom manager unit. The development will include a community building with a lease and management office, community room, and a laundry facility. The development will be improved with covered picnics tables with BBQS and a fenced dog park. Based on our conversation, in order for the HUD/CDBG to approve funding for the proposed project, we anticipate compliance with NEPA can be met through the preparation of an Environmental Report (ER) and a Categorical Exclusion (Cat Ex).

APPROACH/SCOPE OF SERVICES
In accordance with our understanding regarding the project, QK proposes the following scope of work:

TASK 1.0 ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT FOR CATEGORICAL EXCLUSIONS (ER) QK will prepare an ER following the standards outlined for Categorical Exclusions under § 1970.54, to characterize the environmental setting surrounding and affected by the proposed projects, to identify significant impacts attributable to the project, and to develop any necessary mitigation measures designed to reduce identified potentially significant project impacts on the environment to less than significant levels. An ER is a study that identifies environmental impacts of a land development action and analyzes a broad set of parameters including air quality, biodiversity, cultural resources, environmental risk management, farmlands, wetlands, air, and hazardous substance issues.

An ER must include a detailed description of the project, including location; information identifying the project's environmental effects, if any; discussion of suggested means of mitigating these effects, if any are identified at this stage of the NEPA process; and an examination of whether the project would be consistent with existing plans, or other applicable land use controls. Issues anticipated to be addressed in the ER include:
• Project Description and Location
• Land Use & Ownership
• Biological Resources
• Cultural/Historical Resources
• Wetlands

• Floodplains
• Coastal Areas
• Important Farmland
• Environmental Risk Management
• Environmental justice
Deliverable:
• Environmental Report package for submittal to HUD/CDBG TASK 2.0 TECHNICAL STUDIES
Subtask 2.1 Cultural Resources
A QK archaeologist will obtain standard records searches (Class I inventories) from the South San Joaquin Valley Information Center (IC), California State University, Bakersfield, which is a part of the California Historical Resource Information System (CHRIS). The records search would identify any previously recorded sites located on or previous inventories conducted within ½ mile of the project area (the Area of Potential Effect). The records searches will include a review of maps and files housed at the IC related to the project area. During the records searches, we will also determine if previously recorded cultural resources identified within the project area are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) or the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR). This fee estimate includes the fees charged by the IC for the records search.

The Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) will be contacted to search their Sacred Lands Files (SLF) and to obtain a tribal contact list. QK will prepare and send outreach letters to the tribes on the contact lists to request information they might have about tribal cultural resources within the project areas. The information gathered will be used to draft a technical memo that meets NEPA standards. Please note that the NAHC is taking up to 6 weeks to respond to SLF requests and tribal groups have 30 days by which to respond to outreach letters.

We will use this study and the above-mentioned technical memo to prepare a Section 106 consultation package for the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), as outlined below.

Deliverables:
• Cultural Resources Technical Memo in PDF format
• Section 106 Consultation Package in PDF format
Subtask 2.2 Biological Resources
QK biologists will conduct a pedestrian survey with 100 percent visual coverage of the biological study area (project area) and a 500- foot buffer, where feasible. The survey will identify the habitat types and vegetation associations observed on the project site and assess the potential for occurrence of federally listed special status plant or wildlife species. QK biologists will complete a database search and literature review.

A Biological Assessment (BA) outlining the results of the survey will be prepared. The BA will provide a general description of the topography and habitat that currently occurs on the site, describes the plant and wildlife species that were observed on site and any federally listed special status species that have potential to occur, and describe and map wetlands, riparian areas, and federal and State jurisdictional waters that occur within or proximal to the project area. Based on the results of the survey and the recommendations in the BA, QK will submit the document to US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and initiate informal Section 7 consultation, as outlined below.

Deliverable:
• BA in PDF format
58 of 547
Keri Cobb – City of Wasco Page 3 of 4
July 12, 2024
Subtask 2.3 Air Quality Conformity Analysis
A QK air quality engineer will prepare an Air Quality Conformity Analysis (AQCA) for the Project. The analysis will include construction and operational phases. The AQCA will include a conformity analysis as required by NEPA. The analyses will follow the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District’s (SJVAPCD) air quality assessment guidelines. The report will meet the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA, 42 USC 7401 et seq.), and confirm the project emissions during construction do not exceed National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) that have been set to protect public health and welfare.

Deliverable:
• AQCA in PDF format
TASK 3.0 AGENCY COORDINATION AND SUPPORT
QK will conduct consultation with the appropriate regulatory agencies throughout the environmental review process. This fee represents approximately 12 hours of staff time.

QK will coordinate directly with HUD/CDBG staff to ensure the review process of the ER and technical documentation are done timely. The task will also be used to conduct Section 106 consultation with the SHPO to obtain concurrence on Section 106 findings and recommendations. The SHPO has 30 days to respond with a determination based on the information submitted.

QK will submit the BA to start a Section 7 informal consultation with the USFWS. Once deemed complete, QK anticipates USFWS will issue a Biological Opinion (BO). The BO will be provided to HUD/CDBG as part of the ER package. USFWS has up to 90 days to review and comment on the Section 7 package.

SCHEDULE
QK estimates it will take approximately 4 weeks to prepare the technical reports once we have received the required response from the NAHC. Upon receiving a Notice to Proceed, we will immediately initiate the records searches with the IC and NAHC; however, it is impossible to guarantee the time their staff will need to prepare their records searches, due to staffing and workload constraints. Consultation with USFWS may take up to 3 months to complete.

The ER will be prepared within 3 weeks, but it cannot be finalized until we obtain concurrence from both SHPO and USFWS. At that time the ER will be completed within 10 working days and ready to be submitted with the backup documents to HUD/CDBG for review and approval. We will urge agency staff to complete their reviews as timely as possible.

FEE ESTIMATE
Task 1.0 and Task 2.0 w ill be billed on a Fixed Fe e (FF) basis and Tasks 3.0 will b e billed on a Time an d Materials (T&M) basis as shown below.

July 12, 2024

3. When a Task is set on a time -and-materials fee basis, it signifies that it is not possible to accurately predict the amount of work effort required typical of on-call type services. QK will work with the client to set expectations where applicable.

4. Tasks billed by fixed fees will be invoiced monthly based on the percentage of work completed.

5. Additional Services requested in writing and approved by the client will be provided on a time-and-materials basis.

6. The Fee Estimate is good for a period of 90 days from the date of the proposal. After 90 days, the Fee Estimate is subject to change.

EXCLUSIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS
It is assumed the City or KHA will provide a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment and a Preliminary Title Report.

If a g eotechnical study or other technical documents will also be made available for use in the ER. If additional technical studies are required by HUD/CDBG, QK is available to prepare them for an additional fee; however, the schedule may need to be extended. A new scope of work and cost estimate will be prepared for approval.

420 Bronze PD Meter - Sizes 5/8" x 1/2" and 5/8" x 3/4" 420 SERIES BRONZE

FEATURES
Applications: The Mueller ® 420 bronze is a nutating disc style, positive displacement meter designed for residential and small commercial applications where water volumes are low and low flow sensitivity is important.

Conformance to Standards: All Mueller 420 bronze meters meet or exceed the latest revision of the AWWA C-700 Standard for positive displacement meters. Every 420 bronze no lead meter is compliant with the latest initiatives of NSF, ANSI and EPA standards.

Construction: Mueller 420 water meters consist of three basic parts:
maincase; measuring chamber; and permanently sealed register. The maincase is made of bronze for long life. Direction of flow arrows and model are cast into each maincase for ease of identification. The bottom cover is epoxy-coated cast iron with a molded plastic liner separating it from the waterway. Optional bronze and polymer bottom covers are available. The measuring chambers are designed for reduced wear during operation. The measuring chamber, integral strainer, nutating disc and thrust roller are thermoplastic, which is dimensionally stable and will not corrode. The register housing and lid are available in your choice of plastic or bronze for standard visual read registers. The meter is designed so that the register can be replaced easily without removing the meter from the service line.

Register: The permanently sealed visual read register has a unique triple “L” seal and heat treated, glass lens to eliminate dirt, moisture infiltration and fogging. An integral tamper-proof locking feature is provided to resist tampering with the register. The totalizing register has a straight-reading odometer type display, a 360º test circle with center sweep hand and a low flow (leak) detector. Standard gearing is used, making registers interchangeable by size. The 420 bronze meter is available with all AMR and AMI options for increased reading efficiency.

Operation: Water flows through the meter’s strainer where debris is screened out. The incoming water fills a known volume of the measuring chamber on one or the other side of a movable disc that separates the chamber into two sections. As water enters, it moves the disc (nutates), forcing a known volume of water out of the meter from the opposite side of the disc. The process repeats as the sections refill and empty in turn. The nutating action of the disc is coupled magnetically to the register to indicate the volume of water that passes through the meter.

Maintenance: The Mueller 420 positive displacement meter is designed and manufactured to provide long service life with virtually no maintenance required. Repair components available include complete chamber assemblies and bottom plate gaskets. All components can be accessed without removing the meter body from the service line for simplified maintenance.

Connections: Supplied with external straight pipe threads (NPSM) per ANSI B1.20.1

treated glass to eliminate dirt, moisture infiltration and lens fogging. An integral tamper-proof locking feature is provided to res
is
t tampering with the register. The totalizing register has a stra
ight-reading odometer type display, a 360º test circle with cente
r sweep hand and a low flow (leak) detector. Standard
ge
aring is used, making registers interchangeable by size.

All Mueller Meter Models have electronic meter reading
systems available for increased reading efficiency (see Meter Reading Systems.)
Operation: Water flows through the meter’s strainer where any de
bris that could adversely affect meter accuracy or free operation is screened out. As the water enters, it fills a known volume of the measuring chamber on one or the other side of a mova
ble disc that separates the chamber into two sections. As wate
r enters it moves the disc (nutates), forcing a known volume of wat
er out of the meter from the opposite side of the disc.

The pr
ocess repeats as the sections refill and empty in turn. The nut
ating action of the disc is coupled magnetically to the register to indicate the volume of water that passes through the meter.

The large measuring chamber requires fewer nutations of the disc for each gallon measured, which helps to limit wear, reduce pressure loss and extend the life of the meter.

Maintenance: The Mueller
Series 500 Water Meters are
designed and manufactured to provide long service life with virtually no maintenance required.

Connect
ions: Available with integral two-bolt oval flanges.

Environmental Review:

Discussion:

The Public Works Department has issued an invitation to bid for the purchase of gate valves and fittings for CIP Project No. 25006. This project aims to replace aging gate valves in the city's water distribution system. Gate valves are essential for the system, as they isolate sections for maintenance and repairs, minimizing the impact on residents during work. The water department staff will handle the installation of these valves. In addition, fire hydrants will be procured to replace the ones that are needed and to have some in stock in case of breakage, as this is a critical aspect of the water distribution system.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to C reate and Allocate Funding for Capital Improvement Project No. 24043 for the Utility Relocation Project required by the Caltrans project on the Route 46 High-Speed Rail Crossing and Route 43 Roundabout in the City of Wasco.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Adopt a resolution a uthorizing the City Manager or designee to create and allocate funding for Capital Improvement Project No. 24043 for the Utility Relocation Project required by the Caltrans project on the Route 46 High -Speed Rail Crossing and Route 43 Roundabout in the City of Wasco; and

Environmental Review:

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 it 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.

Discussion:

As part of the Caltrans project on Route 46 High -Speed Rail Crossing and Route 43 Roundabout in the City of Wasco, it is necessary to relocate the existing utilities, which will impact the C ity's current water mains. The relocation of the water mains is essential to facilitate the construction of the roundabout and ensure an uninterrupted water supply in the area. This relocation will also enhance C ity staff access to utilities for repairs an d maintenance, while also safeguarding the structural stability of the roundabout in case of any potential leaks. To minimize disruptions for motorists, residents, and businesses on `

Highway 43/46 during pipe replacement, steel casings will be used as sleeves for carrier pipes to extract the water main for repairs.

During the April 2, 2024 C ouncil meeting, the C ity Manager and Staff received authorization from the Council to endorse the necessary agreements to move the project forward. The City has reached an agreement with Caltrans for the City to oversee and manage the project, and all project costs will be fully reimbursed by Caltrans. This means that the City will need to pay upfront for all of the construction costs using the City’s water enterprise res erve funds. The total amount budgeted for the project, including contingencies, is $1,402,949. With 95% of the design completed and an E ngineer's estimate in place, the City has the necessary reserves to carry out this project and will be reimbursed 100% b y Caltrans on a monthly basis for costs incurred. Once Caltrans provides a timeline for the C ity's portion of the work, an RFP will be posted for bidding.

Subsequently, a contractor will be selected to carry out the necessary work. At that point, this project will be presented to the council for approval of the contractor selection.

To allow for unforeseen change orders for the project, Staff is requesting authorization of $1,500,000 appropriation from Water Enterprise Reserves for this project.

Fiscal Impact:

Caltrans will reimburse all project-related costs, including staff time, professional services, and construction expenses. Once reimbursement is complete, the City should incur no net cost for the project.

Discussion:

The Transportation Department currently has two aging cutaways that are over their life span. They are constantly out of service for maintenance. These buses will be replacing our current fleet. The new buses will be reliable and will ensure that there will not be service disruptions.

The City of Wasco is a member of the California Association for Coordinated Transportation (CALACT) and has access to a variety of transit vehicles from the CALACT/MBTA Purchasing Cooperative. The Cooperative provides a federal and California State-compliant purchasing solution that allows Wasco to select, not settle for, the vehicle that best meets our transit needs. The Cooperative offers a variety of ADA- compliant vehicles, from a low-floor minivan to large cutaway vehicles.

The City is utilizing the following CALACT/MBTA Purchasing Cooperative Request for Proposals (RFP)#20-01 for the procurement of the cutaway buses. The City requested three separate quotes ; however, the third vendor was unresponsive (see attached quotes) from the following approved vendors:

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager

DATE: August 6,
2024

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to execute a Professional Services Engagement Letter and Advance Conflict Waiver Letter with Best, Best & Krieger, LLP for telecommunications legal services.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to execute a Professional Services Engagement Letter and Advance Conflict Waiver Letter with Best, Best & Krieger, LLP for telecommunications legal services; and

Environmental Review:

Discussion:

From time to time, City activities involve technical or specialized areas which fall outside the expertise of Staff, including the City Attorney. At present, the City is studying the feasibility of a fiber optic communications network within the City. This endevor will have regulatory and other legal issues affected by State and Federal regulations which change frequently. To protect the City’s interests, it is prudent to seek review and advice from legal counsel with current expertise in this area.

The City Attorney and City Manager independently suggested engaging Gail Karish of Best Best & Krieger, LLP (BBK). Both have worked with Ms. Karish previously with good results and have confidence in her experience and ability to provide legal guidance.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

134 of 547
Additionally, BBK is a leading California law firm with significant specialty in municipal affairs and has successfully provided services to the City of Wasco in the past.

Ms. Karish has provided both an Engagement Letter and an Advance Conflict Waiver Letter, required for establishing a consulting relationship with the City. The Engagement Letter establishes the BBK rate structure and scope of services requested. The Advance Conflict Waiver Letter is necessary due to BBK’s active role in regional water issues including SGMA issues and water rights litigation. Although there is no current conflict, the Waiver Letter defines the actions to be taken if such a conflict arises while the telecommunications services are being provided. If required by the City Attorney , a standard City of Wasco Professional Services Agreement will also be executed between the parties.

Fiscal Impact:

The anticipated cost of services provided with this item are limited in scope and within the Adopted FY 2024- 2025 Operations Budget for City Attorney Services. No budget action is required with approval of this item.

Attachments:

1. Resolution

2. Engagement Letter

3. Advance Conflict Waiver Letter

Re: Engagement Letter - unWired FTTH Project
Dear Messrs. Hurlbert and Shroeter:

ABOUT OUR REPRESENTATION
Best Best & Krieger LLP is pleased to represent City of Wasco. Specifically, we will assist the City of Wasco with review and negotiation of a master encroachment permit with unWired for a fiber to the home project in the city, and advise the City of Wasco on related regulatory matters and contractual matters. This letter constitutes our agreement setting the terms of our representation. If you want us to represent you and agree to the terms set forth in this letter, after you review the letter please sign it and return the signed copy to us.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND ABSENCE OF CONFLICTS
An attorney-client relationship requires mutual trust between the client and the attorney. It is understood that communications exclusively between counsel and the client are confidential and protected by the attorney-client privilege.

To also assure mutuality of trust, we have maintained a conflict of interest index. The California Rules of Professional Conduct defines whether a past or present relationship with any party prevents us from representing City of Wasco. Similarly, City of Wasco will be included in our list of clients to ensure we comply with the Rules of Professional Conduct with respect to City of Wasco.

We have checked the following names against our client index: City of Wasco, unWired, Tom Schroeter (City Attorney), and Scott Hurlbert (City Manager). Based on that check, we can represent City of Wasco if the City signs the accompanying Advance Water Waiver. The document is attached and made part of this agreement. Please review the listed names to see if any other persons or entities should be included. If you do not tell us to the contrary, we will assume that Attachment “A”

Best Best & Krieger LLP
this list is complete and accurate. We request that you update this list for us if there are any changes in the future.

YOUR OBLIGATIONS ABOUT FEES AND INDIVIDUAL RATES
We have already discussed with you the fee arrangement. Gail A. Karish will be responsible for this matter. Gail’s current billing rate is $430 per hour.

If other attorneys are called upon to work on this or other matters the might arise, those attorneys will bill at then-current individual public rates which are based on experience and areas of expertise. Hourly rates for those attorneys fall within the following ranges: Partners and Of Counsel range from $305 - $670 per hour; Associates range from $260 - $330 per hour, Paralegals, Clerk and Analysts from $145 - $270 per hour, and Consultants and Government Affairs from $260 - $470 per hour. Our rates are adjusted annually every July 1st, with advanced written notice.

Rate adjustments usually follow market trends as well as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as is appropriate for each of our areas of specialization.

The billing policies are described in the memorandum attached to this letter, entitled “Best Best & Krieger LLP’s Billing Policies.” You should consider the Billing Policies memorandum part of this agreement as it binds both of us. For that reason, you should read it carefully.

INSURANCE
We are also pleased to let you know that Best Best & Krieger LLP carries errors and omissions insurance with Lloyd’s of London. After a standard deductible, this insurance provides coverage beyond what is required by the State of California.

NEW MATTERS
When we are engaged by a new client on a particular matter, we are often later asked to work on additional matters. You should know that such new matters will be the subject of a new signed supplement to this agreement. Similarly, this agreement does not cover and is not a commitment by either of us that we will undertake any appeals or collection procedures. Any such future work would also have to be agreed upon in a signed supplement.

CIVILITY IN LITIGATION
In litigation, courtesy is customarily honored with opposing counsel, such as extensions to file pleadings or responses to other deadlines. In our experience, the reciprocal extension of such courtesies saves our clients’ time and money. By signing this letter you will be confirming your approval of this practice in your case.

HOW THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE TERMINATED
You, of course, have the right to end our services at any time. If you do so, you will be responsible for the payment of fees and costs accrued but not yet paid, plus reasonable fees and 139 of 547

costs in transferring the case to you or your new counsel. By the same token, we reserve the right to terminate our services to you upon written notice, order of the court, or in accordance with our attached Billing Policies memorandum. This could happen if you fail to pay our fees and costs as agreed, fail to cooperate with us in this matter, or if we determine we cannot continue to represent you for ethical or practical concerns.

CLIENT FILE
If you do not request the return of your file, we will retain your file for five years. After five years, we may have your file destroyed. If you would like your file maintained for more than five years or returned, you must make separate arrangements with us.

THANK YOU
On a personal note, we are pleased that you have selected Best Best & Krieger LLP to represent you. We look forward to a long and valued relationship with you and appreciate your confidence in selecting us to represent you in this case. If you have any questions at any time about our services or billings, please do not hesitate to call me or Gail.

If this letter and the Advance Water Waiver letter meet with your approval, please sign and date both documents, and return the originals to us. Unless you sign, date and return by August 15, 2024, we will not represent you in any capacity, and we will assume that you have made other arrangements for legal representation.

Sincerely,
Scott Haskell Campbell
of BEST BEST & KRIEGER LLP

BEST BEST & KRIEGER LLP’S BILLING POLICIES
Our century of experience has shown that the
attorney-client relationship works best when there is mutual understanding about fees, expenses, billing and payment terms. Therefore, this statement is intended to explain our billing policies and procedures. Clients are encouraged to discuss with us any questions they have about these policies and procedures. Clients may direct specific questions about a bill to the attorney with whom the client works or to our Accounts Receivable Department
([email protected]). Any specific billing arrangements different from those set forth below will be confirmed in a separate written agreement between the client and the firm.

INVOICE AND PAYMENT OPTIONS
Best Best & Krieger strives to meet our clients’
needs in terms of providing a wide variety of invoice types, delivery and payment options. Please indicate those needs including the preferred method of invoice delivery (Invoice via Email; or USPS). In addition,
[email protected] can provide a W-9 upon
request and discuss various accepted payment methods.

FEES FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
Unless a flat fee is set forth in our engagement letter with a client, our fees for the legal work we will undertake will be based in substantial part on time spent by personnel in our office on that client’s behalf. In special circumstances which will be discussed with the client and agreed upon in writing, fees will be based upon the novelty or difficulty of the matter, or the time or other special limitations imposed by the client.

Hourly rates are set to reflect the skill and
experience of the attorney or other legal personnel rendering services on the client’s behalf. All legal services are billed in one-tenth of an hour (0.10/hour) or six-minute
increments. Our attorneys are currently billed at rates from $215 to $985 per hour, and our administrative assistants, research assistants, municipal analysts, litigation analysts, paralegals, paraprofessionals and law clerks are billed at rates from $180 to $325 per hour for new work. These rates reflect the ranges in both our public and our private rates.

These hourly rates are reviewed annually to accommodate rising firm costs and to reflect changes in attorney status as lawyers attain new levels of legal experience. Any increases resulting from such reviews will be instituted automatically and will apply to each affected client, after advance notice.

Non-Attorney Personnel: BBK may employ the
services of non-attorney personnel under the supervision of a BBK attorney in order to perform services called for in the legal services agreement. The most common non-attorney personnel utilized are paralegals. Other types of non- attorney personnel include, but are not limited to, case clerks, litigation analysts, and specialty consultants. The client agrees that BBK may use such non-attorney personnel to perform its services when it is reasonably necessary in the judgment of the responsible BBK attorney. Hourly fees for non-attorney personnel will be charged at the rate then in effect for such personnel. A copy of BBK’s current rates and titles for non-attorney personnel will be provided upon request.

FEES FOR ELECTRONICALLY STORED
INFORMATION (“ESI”) SUPPORT AND STORAGE
BBK provides Electronically Stored Information
(“ESI”) services for matters requiring ESI support, which are matters with a document population over 1GB –
typically litigation or threatened litigation matters. BBK provides services for basic ESI processing and storage at the following rates per month based on the number of gigabytes of data (“GB”) processed and stored:
1GB -250GB: $10 per GB
251GB - 550GB: $8 per GB
551GB - 750GB: $6 per GB
751GB - 1TB: $4 per GB
The amount BBK charges for basic processing and
storage of ESI allows BBK to recover the costs of providing such services, plus a net profit for BBK. BBK believes that the rates it charges for processing and storage are lower than comparable services available from third party vendors in the market. If you wish to contract separately with a third party vendor for processing and storage costs, please notify [email protected] in writing. BBK
also provides advanced ESI processing services at hourly rates for personnel in its Litigation Support Group. A copy of BBK’s current rates for such services will be provided on request.

FEES FOR OTHER SERVICES, COSTS AND

EXPENSES
We attempt to serve all our clients with the most
effective support systems available. Therefore, in addition to fees for professional legal services, we also charge separately for some other services and expenses to the extent of their use by individual clients. These charges include but are not limited to, mileage at the current IRS approved rate per mile, extraordinary telephone and document delivery charges, copying charges, computerized research, court
141 of 547
09940.00000\42494597.2

filing fees and other court-related expenditures including court reporter and transcription fees. No separate charge is made for secretarial or word processing services; those costs are included within the above hourly rates.

We may need to advance costs and incur expenses
on your behalf on an ongoing basis. These items are
separate and apart from attorneys’ fees and, as they are out- of-pocket charges, we need to have sufficient funds on hand from you to pay them when due. We will advise the client from time to time when we expect items of significant cost to be incurred, and it is required that the client send us advances to cover those costs before they are due.

ADVANCE DEPOSIT TOWARD FEES AND COSTS
Because new client matters involve both a
substantial undertaking by our firm and the establishment of client credit with our accounting office, we require an advance payment from clients. The amount of this advance deposit is determined on a case-by-case basis discussed first with the client, and is specified in our engagement letter.

Upon receipt, the advance deposit will be deposited
into the firm’s client trust account. Our monthly billings will reflect such applications of the advance deposit to costs and not to attorney’s fees (unless otherwise noted in our accompanying engagement letter). At the end of
engagement, we will apply any remaining balance first to costs and then to fees. We also reserve the right to require increases or renewals of these advanced deposits.

By signing the initial engagement letter, each client
is agreeing that trust account balances may be withdrawn and applied to costs as they are incurred and to our billings, when we issue our invoice to the client. If we succeed in resolving your matter before the amounts deposited are
used, any balance will be promptly refunded.

MONTHLY INVOICES AND PAYMENT
Best Best & Krieger LLP provides our clients with
monthly invoices for legal services performed and expenses incurred. Invoices are due and payable upon receipt.

Each monthly invoice reflects both professional and
other fees for services rendered through the end of the prior month, as well as expenses incurred on the client’s behalf that have been processed by the end of the prior month.

Processing of some expenses is delayed until the next month and billed thereafter.

Our fees are not contingent upon any aspect of the
matter and are due upon receipt. All billings are due and payable within ten days of presentation unless the full amount is covered by the balance of an advance held in our trust account.

It is our policy to treat every question about a bill
promptly and fairly. It is also our policy that if a client does not pay an invoice within 60 days of mailing, we assume the client is, for whatever reason, refusing to pay. We reserve the right to terminate our engagement and withdraw as
attorney of record whenever our invoices are not paid. If an invoice is 60 days late, however, we may advise the client by letter that the client must pay the invoice within 14 days or the firm will take appropriate steps to withdraw as
attorney of record. If the delay is caused by a problem in the invoice, we must rely upon the client to raise that with us during the 14-day period. This same policy applies to fee arrangements which require the client to replenish fee
deposits or make deposits for anticipated costs.

From time to time clients have questions about the
format of the bill or description of work performed. If you have any such questions, please ask them when you receive the bill so we may address them on a current basis.

CHANGES IN FEE ARRANGEMENTS AND BUDGETS
It may be necessary under certain circumstances for
a client to increase the size of required advances for fees after the commencement of our engagement and depending
upon the scope of the work. For example, prior to a
protracted trial or hearing, the firm may require a further advance payment to the firm’s trust account sufficient to cover expected fees. Any such changes in fee arrangements will be discussed with the client and mutually agreed in writing.

Because of the uncertainties involved, any estimates
of anticipated fees that we provide at the request of a client for budgeting purposes, or otherwise, can only be an
approximation of potential fees.

Re: Advance Conflict Waiver re Representation of Other Clients in Water Law Issues
Dear Messrs. Hurlbert and Schroeter:

City of Wasco (the “City”) has requested that Best Best & Krieger (“BBK”) assist with the review and negotiation of master encroachment permit with unWired for fiber to the home project in the City, and to advise the City on related regulatory matters and contractual matters (collectively, the “City Matters”). BBK also represents a broad range of clients involved in water law issues that may be adverse or potentially adverse to the City in the future. It is possible that BBK may represent additional clients within or surrounding the City on water issues in the future.

BBK is not handling any matter adverse to the City at this time, but such conflicts may arise due to BBK representing other clients on groundwater matters related to the same water basin used by the City, or groundwater matters that may have an impact on the water basins used by the City.

This letter is to request an advance waiver from the City so that BBK may represent other clients in the future on water issues adverse or potentially adverse to the City. If we are to represent other clients on water issues adverse to the City, we must still obtain the City’s informed written consent to any potential or actual conflict of interest.

RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT
Rule 1.7 of the California Rules of Professional Conduct provides:
(a) A lawyer shall not, without informed written consent from each client and compliance with paragraph (d), represent a client if the representation is directly adverse to another client in the same or a separate matter. (b) A lawyer shall not, without informed written consent from each affected client and compliance with paragraph (d), represent a client if there is a significant risk the Attachment "B"

lawyer’s representation of the client will be materially limited by the lawyer’s responsibilities to or relationships with another client, a former client or a third person, or by the lawyer’s own interests.
. . .
(d) Representation is permitted under this rule only if the lawyer complies with paragraphs (a), (b), . . . and:
(1) the lawyer reasonably believes that the lawyer will be able to provide competent and diligent representation to each affected client; (2) the representation is not prohibited by law; and
(3) the representation does not involve the assertion of a claim by one client against another client represented by the lawyer in the same litigation or other proceeding before a tribunal.

REPRESENTATION OF OTHER CLIENTS IN WATER LAW ISSUES –

ADVANCE WAIVER OF CONFLICTS

BBK represents many types of clients in a variety of matters. For many years, water law has been a large part of BBK’s practice. BBK advises many of its clients regarding water law issues, such as surface water, ground water, imported water, water transfers, water quality, water rights, and various Delta related matters. These other BBK clients are routinely involved in water law issues which could directly or indirectly affect water supplies, rights and policies of the City because our other clients may share the same water basins as the City or have an impact on the water basins used by the City.

As far as we know, BBK is not currently representing any other client on water issues adverse to the City. If another current, or new BBK client has an interest in water issues affecting the City, then BBK might be asked to provide advice and representation on that matter. Such work might include representation concerning groundwater sustainability agencies, transactions, negotiations, representation on CEQA or NEPA issues, administrative hearings before the State Water Resources Control Board or other state or federal agencies, regulatory permitting, disputes, or litigation (“Future Water Matters”), any of which could be adverse to the City’s interest in water issues.

If we are representing the City on the City Matters or any other issues, and another client asks BBK to represent it against the City on Future Water Matters, then we would otherwise first need to obtain consent from the City to represent the other client. Because of our lengthy relationship with many of our water purveyor clients, and because such a large part of our practice involves clients with a variety of water issues, we cannot risk refusal of such consent. Therefore, we ask that the City sign this letter giving the City’s advanced consent now to any future representation of other current or future BBK clients in Future Water Matters adverse to the City so that we do not need to ask the City for such consent in the future. 144 of 547

Best Best & Krieger LLP
As part of this advance consent, BBK shall promptly inform the City in writing of any future representation of a client(s) against or adverse to the City to provide the City the opportunity to determine if it wishes to replace BBK in those circumstances. If the City decides to continue to use BBK as counsel, and BBK agrees to continue representing the City in those circumstances, then we will establish an ethical screen so that the lawyers representing the City do not share any confidential information of the City with other lawyers at BBK and vice versa. Regardless of the circumstances, BBK will not disclose any confidential information received from the City to any other client of BBK. Likewise, by signing this letter, the City agrees that it will not disclose any confidential the City information to BBK on any issues involving water rights, interests, policy or strategy concerning water issues.

POTENTIAL ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES
Because BBK is not currently representing a client adverse to the City regarding water issues, it is impossible to predict exactly the facts related to any such future conflict, but we do believe it is possible to describe the reasonably foreseeable potential adverse consequences that would arise, which include the following:
 We may be tempted to favor the interests of one client over the other.  Our exercise of independent judgment to the City may be impaired or clouded by our relationship with other clients.
 There may be an appearance of impropriety in our representation of both clients simultaneously on unrelated matters.
 We may inadvertently disclose confidential information to a client that the City would not like revealed.
 We may be restricted from forcefully advocating the City’s position for fear of alienating another client depending upon the circumstances.

THE CITY’S CONSENT
If the City agrees to the above, we need an authorized representative of the City to sign this consent letter. This consent will not waive any protection that the City may have with regard to attorney-client communications with us in the City’s matters. Those communications will remain confidential and will not be disclosed to any third party without the City’s consent.

Please consider this matter carefully, and do not hesitate to contact us if the City has any questions or concerns. The City may wish to confer with independent legal counsel regarding this disclosure and the City’s consent, and the City should feel free to do so.

The City re-zoned the sites from R-1-6, (low density residential 6,000 square foot min. lot size), to P -F (Public Facilities) in 2022 in order to accommodate these uses. This General Plan Amendment is a clean -up to the City’s General Plan Land Use Map to make the General Plan Land Use designation consistent with the zoning designation.

Existing land uses surrounding the City of Wasco Site are as follows (see Air Image below and General Plan Land Use Map above):

• North
Wasco General Plan Land Use – Pu
blic Facilities and Low-Density Residential
Existing Land Use – Single-family residential and public facilities (Central Avenue Park and City stormwater basin) (incorporated)
City of Wasco Zoning – P-F (public facilities) and R-1-6 (low-density residential 6,000 square foot minimum lot size)

• S
outh
Wasco General Plan Land Use – L ow-Density Residential
Existing Land Use – agriculture (unincorporated)

• East
Wasco General Plan Land Use - Low-Density Residential
Existing Land Use – Agriculture (incorporated)
City of Wasco Zoning – R-1-6 (Low-Density Residential 6,000 square foot minimum lot size)

• West
Wasco General Plan Land Use - L ow-Density Residential
Existing Land Use - Agriculture and 1 single-family residence (unincorporated)

City of Wasco Site Location

Analysis

One of the principal objectives of the proposed land use reclassifications is to classify sites to accommodate relocation of public facilities uses that have outgrown their existing sites. In this case, the City of Wasco has outgrown its Animal Control Facility as well as its 151 of 547
Public Works Yard, and the Wasco Union High School District has outgrown its existing MOT facility.

The second principal objective is t o classify sites to accommodate the replacement of aging public-school facilities and infrastructure including the Wasco High Ag Farm and one of the City’s municipal wells.

If approved, the proposed General Plan Amendment and subsequent Zone Change will provide proper General Plan and Zoning Classifications on these sites so new, modern , and adequately sized public infrastructure and facilities can be constructed to serve the community well into the future.

SB 18 T ribal Consultation

In accordance wit h SB 18, the City contacted all tribes listed on the consultation list provided by the Native American Heritage Commission with an “Invitation to Consult Under Senate Bill 18 letter . The City did not receive any responses or requests to consult within the statutory 90-day timeframe, which ended June 23, 2024.

Environmental Review

The City has determined that this project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act Pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), which states that the project is exempt by statute if:

“The activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen 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”

Th
e re-designation of land use alone, where no specific project has been submitted, does not have a significant effect on the environment.

General Plan Consistency Analysis

The General Plan provides a policy basis for the adoption of the proposed GPA and Zone Change. This document contains the following goals, policy , and implementation direction related to the proposed project:

Land Use Element

LU Goal 2 : “A logical, orderly development pattern that matches the City’s ability to provide services

LU Policy 3: Encourage consistent and comprehensive planning for the city.

LU Action 3.2: Following the adoption of the General Plan Update, the City shall prepare revisions and/or amendments to the Zoning Code text to incorporate necessary General Plan implementation measures and ensure consistency between the General Plan and Zoning Code within the City

152 of 547
Based on this policy analysis and the site locations on the edge of the developed City where future growth is expected but there is still adequate room for the needed public/institutional facilities, staff believes the proposed General Plan Amendment is consistent with applicable policies and implementation direction of the General Plan.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no direct fiscal impact anticipated with adoption of the proposed General Plan Amendment. No budget action is required with approval of this item.

Dear Keri Cobb:

RE: City of Wasco’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Revised Draft Housing Element

Thank you for submitting the City of Wasco’s (City) revised draft housing element received for review on May 17, 2024. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, HCD is reporting the results of its review.

The revised draft element meets the statutory requirements that were described in HCD’s March 20, 2024 review. The housing element will substantially comply with State Housing Element Law (Gov. Code, § 65580 et. seq.) when it is adopted, submitted to and approved by HCD, in accordance with Government Code section 65585.

Public participation in the development, adoption and implementation of the housing element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element process, the City should continue to engage the community, including organizations that represent lower-income and special needs households, by making information regularly available and considering and incorporating comments where appropriate. Please be aware, any revisions to the element must be posted on the local government’s website and to email a link to all individuals and organizations that have previously requested notices relating to the local government’s housing element at least seven days before submitting to HCD.

For your information, pursuant to Government Code section 65583.3, the City must submit an electronic sites inventory with its adopted housing element. While the City has submitted its electronic sites inventory, if any changes occur, the City should re- submit the electronic sites inventory with future submittals of the adopted housing element.

Several federal, state, and regional funding programs consider housing element compliance as an eligibility or ranking criteria. For example, the CalTrans Senate Bill (SB) 1 Sustainable Communities grant, the Affordable Housing and Sustainable 166 of 547
