Reso#2024-4150

Council Member Reyna requested clarification on the following:
• Requested clarification on t he retention plan and the $216,000.00 allocation mentioned in the staff report.
• If the community engagement in social media for $55,000.00 is for a new position.
• What is the deadline for the ARPA funds if they are not used? • Once the funds of $1,316,670.54 are spent, have we spent the six million dollars received?
• The $50,000.00 requested to be spent on the COVID vaccination engagement, not all car ds were used, and a balance was left. Requested that staff provide information on the balance and further use of the gift cards.

City Manager Hurlbert responded as follows:
• As staff has done in the past, if there is an opportunity to make one- time off- schedule payments, the $216,000.00 funds are available. The funds will cover the extra employees who have been hired and require separate city council approval to move forward.
• The dollar amount of $55,000.00 was previously approved and was moved out of funding from the general fund and used with ARPA, as well as an expense for software and other pieces of social media software. • The deadline to spend or encumber ARPA funding is December 31, 2024. • After spending the remaining $1,316,670.54, at that point, we would have spent the entire amount plus or minus any interest that has accrued while holding the funds.
• The money has been spent for the purchase of the gift cards; it would be an internal decision of what they would be used for. There is no danger of losing that fund. Staff will report out on the balance and where they’ve gone.

Motion was made by Council Member Reyna, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Saldaña, to approve item 12.f. by the following roll call vote:

AYES: MEDINA, SALDAÑA, MARTINEZ, RAYA, REYNA

• Why are we getting something a year later?
• Is the start date of December 15, 2025, a warranty period?

17) REPORTS FROM THE CITY MANAGER:

City Manager Hurlbert updated the city council on the following:
• The finance department will implement and upgrade the accounting system, and the department will be closed on December 12, 2024, all day during th at system upgrade—and coupling with the records retention process. Payments will still be accepted at Fiesta Supermarket, and permit payments can be submitted via MyGov. Still, no other online payments or in- person methods of payment for utilities will be available that day. We will send out notifications and post that information in various places.
• Community Breakfast will be tomorrow, December 4, 2024, at 7:00 a.m. at the Old Courthouse.
• The joint meeting with the Wasco Recreation and Parks District Board is still up in the air.
• The National Night Out event was a success, with good food vendors and activities for the kids.
• The League of California Cities Mayors and Council Members Academy in Sacramento on January 21-24, 2024.
• League of California Cities City Managers Conference in February 2025. • The Wasco Christmas Festival and Parade this Saturday, December 7, 2024. • The Tour of Lights will be at the Wasco Recreation and Parks District on December 18 and 19, 2024.
• Cloudy water update: none of the tests shown before, during, or after the reports of cloudy water showed contamination. Staff strongly believe it is related to the maintenance of Well 12. It was flushed for several days, and it's very possible that opening and closing the isolation valves dislodged some sediment; the well ran for two days and was quickly taken offline as soon as there was the first call. We've had no calls on that topic since last Tuesday, so a full week with no further report. It is running and flushing intermittently to make sure we don't have any further sediment that's going to break loose.
• There is $7800.00 in remaining gift cards.

18) REPORTS FROM THE CITY COUNCIL:

Council Member Martinez:
• Spoke to the Link Crew service organization about Community Leadership at the Wasco High School by invitation last week and they would like to join the Community Task Force.

• Attended the National Night Out event and would like to see these events happen on a regular basis.

DATE: January 21, 2025

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Application and Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Enter Into and Execute a Grant Agreement, Budget Appropriations, and or Amendments thereto for the State of California Office of Traffic Safety (O TS) FY2025-2026 Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP).

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution approving the application and authorizing the City manager or designee to enter into and execute a grant agreement, budget appropriations, and or amendments thereto for the State of California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) FY 2025-2026 Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP), and

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

Environmental Review:

This action is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 and is , therefore, not subject to CEQA since it does not have the potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The approval of this agenda item does not commit the City to a definite course of action concerning a project since the action authorized 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 Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) is located within the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA) . It is tasked with developing and implementing a highway safety program that addresses the behavioral factors that impact road safety. The goal of the

68 of 263
annual program is to prevent serious injury and death from motor vehicle crashes so that all roadway users arrive at their destination safely.

Since its establishment (April 2024), the Wasco Police Department has recorded four traffic fatalities and 25 injuries resulting from collisions. Additionally, there have been 13 alcohol-related crashes, 7 motorcycle-related crashes, 3 bicycle-related crashes, and 6 pedestrian-related crashes. Between April and December 2024, officers issued 146 citations for speeding, 129 citations for other movin g violations, and 127 citations for unlicensed or suspended drivers. The department also made 106 arrests for driving under the influence (DUI).

To address these challenges and reduce traffic- related injuries and fatalities, the Wasco Police Department pl ans to implement targeted enforcement efforts through the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP). These efforts will focus on the three primary crash factors: impaired driving, distracted driving, and speeding. By addressing these issues, the department aims to curb dangerous driving behaviors, reduce collisions, and improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety. With support and resources from the Office of Traffic Safety, the Wasco Police Department will be better equipped to conduct targeted enforcement, reduce crashes, and create a safer community for all residents.

Applications must be submitted by January 31, 2025. If awarded, the Grant Period will be from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026.

This resolution authorizes the City Manager or designee to submit an application , enter into and execute the grant agreement, make budget appropriations for the Police department, and/or make any amendments required to participate in the OTS Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP).

DATE: January 21, 2025

SUBJECT: Acceptance of the Trickling Filter Rehabilitation Capital Improvement Project 20237 and authorization for the City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Acceptance of the Trickling Filter Rehabilitation Capital Improvement Project 20237 and authorization for the City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion; and

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

Environmental Review:

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

Discussion:

Due to the corrosive nature and age of the wastewater facility, certain areas of the plant require rehabilitation. The trickling filters are employed to treat and remove organic matter from the raw sewage received at the facility. This process helps protect the environment and ensures compliance with the discharge requirements established by the state.

BR Frost Company was awarded this project to rehab the trickling filter arms and center columns. Both filters are now back online. The project was completed on January 13, 2025, in accordance with the specifications in the bid package.

Luis Villa, Public Works Director

DATE: January 21, 2025

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into and Execute an Agreement with Toter, LLC, a division of Wastequip, in an amount not to exceed $56,000.00

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign and enter into and execute an agreement with Toter, LLC, a division of Wastequip, in an amount not to exceed $56,000.00; and

2) Find that this action is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, no environmental review is required pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15378.

Environmental Review:

The staff has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It has been determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA guidelines because 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:

The City routinely replaces damaged carts due to normal wear and tear, and new homes receive carts upon the commencement of service. This has led to a need for inventory replenishment.

City staff aims to maintain a stock of 100 carts; however, we currently have fewer than that. The turnaround time for orders is approximately 4 to 6 weeks. Therefore, staff recommends proactively increasing our cart inventory now. The City will purchase carts using Toter’s Sourcewell contract #171717. Additionally, Toter carts are made from 30% to 50% recycled materials, which will be reported in our annual CalRecycle report to fulfill

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

80 of 263
procurement responsibilities. After the contract is approved, delivery of the carts will take about four to six weeks.

Fiscal Impact:

The city uses sanitation funds to purchase refuse carts. The Sanitation Department's budget for materials and supplies will cover this expense , not to exceed $56,000 . No budget action is required with approval of this item.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing The City Manager or designee to Endorse and enter into an Agreement with Cen-Cal Construction Inc. for On-Call Construction Services in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 .00 and allowing the City Manager or Designee to execute task orders in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of $250,000.00.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution Authorizing The City Manager or designee to Endorse and enter into an Agreement with Cen-Cal Construction Inc. for On-Call Construction Services in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000.00 and allowing the City Manager or designee to execute Task a task order in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of $250,000.00., and
2) Find that this Project is classified as categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Section 15332 , as all work resulting from it will be for the purpose of in -fill. No environmental review is required.

Environmental Review:

Staff has reviewed the proposed Project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the Project is categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Section 15332 as it is characterized as in -fill development meeting the conditions described in this section. Thus, no environmental review is required.

Discussion:

The FY 24/25 CIP budget includes Project #20213 , “SIDEWALK REHABILITATION AND ADA RAMPS – CITYWIDE,” which has a clear intention to establish a sidewalk rehabilitation program for existing damaged sidewalks as well as in-fill sidewalks.

In order to accomplish the directive of this Project, Staff issued a request for proposals to establish an on-call contract with a Contractor, which defines various work tasks at an established cost.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

86 of 263

The City received quite a bit of interest in the Project but only received one bid, which came from Cen-Cal Construction. Staff reviewed the proposed costs and believes that the costs are consistent with current rates seen on other projects.

The cost schedule (attached) defines 11 different items of work, including, but not limited to, grinding concrete trip hazards, pouring drive approaches, ADA ramps, sidewalks, and more.

Task orders will be prioritized via multiple sources, including, but not limited to, a city-wide study performed by Disability Access Consultants (DACTRAC), which defines trip hazards across the City that were determined during their study, important in -fill sidewalk areas with prioritization being made towards areas near schools and other items as determined.

In addition to the contract approval, Staff is requesting approval for the City Manager to execute the first series of task orders related to the proposed work in an amount not to exceed $250,000.00.

The Contract will be for a total amount not to exceed $1,000,000 over the life of the contract.

Fiscal Impact:

In the City Capital Improvement Project budget, this is P roject # 2 0213 which has a Council approved CIP construction budget of $ 696,960.00 for FY 24/25. Approval of the not to exceed $250,000.00 will leave $446,960.00 remaining for future task orders in this fiscal year.

DATE: January 21, 2025

SUBJECT: A pproval of the acceptance of the LCTOP Charging Station Project and Authorize the City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Approval of the acceptance of the LCTOP Charging Station Project and authorize the City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion; 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 Se ction 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.

Discussion:

On June 6, 2023, the City Council approved a contract with Reliable Monitoring Services to install electrical infrastructure related to the Charging Stations at the Well 14 site.

This Project was completed in November of 2024.

Fiscal Impact:

The 2024-2025 Capital Im provement Plan Project #2 1034 budgeted $316,734.00 for the Construction of this Project. Additionally, the City was granted $161,073.00 in SGR funds and will be receiving ~ $140,000.00 in rebates from PG&E now that the Project is complete. The current cost of the Project sits at $ 338,505.66. With the numbers noted above the project budget has $279,301.34 remaining (including rebates). The balance of funds is currently being planned for future transit improvement projects.

Final Balancing Change Order

Date of Contract: June 6, 2023 Date: January 21, 2025 Contract Amount: $111,240.00
Contractor: R eliable Monitoring Services Project: Wasco LCTOP Charging Station Project

Change Order #1: Procure (3) 3-phase 200A Breakers

The City-Provided switchgear did not include the breakers needed for the (2) 3-phase charging stations or (1) step-down transformer. This was noted on the quotation from the switchgear provider, but the item was never added to the bid for the Contractor. The Contractor is able to procure these items in a timelier manner than the City and they have not included any markup on the items, but the price does include cost for their time to drive and pick up the breakers from the supplier.

Total Cost: $4,805.85

Change Order #2: Install jumper wires from pull section to meter section per PGE requirements

The City-Provided switchgear has two parts to it; part 1 is an empty box with conduits ran into the bottom that allows ample room to pull wire up into the switchgear and part 2 is the switchgear itself which contains the breakers, meter, etc. It was the City’s understanding that PG&E would be responsible from pulling wire from the transformer through the pull section box and into the switchgear box. Upon inspection we were informed by PG&E that we are required to provide wire from the pull section box to the meter box and they would make their connection inside of the pull section box. This change required that the Contractor remobilize to the site to install wire from the pull section box to the switchgear box thus prompting this change order as it was not originally in their scope of work.

Total Cost: $8,451.01

Change Order #3: Purchase and Install mounting hardware for switchgear faceplate

The City-Provided switchgear was ordered from the factory with standardized hardware that is compatible for many applications. This particular application of the switchgear to be used for these EV charging stations required that some of the internal faceplate components be swapped out and installed. This Change Order covered the Contractors Materials & time to swap out these components.

Total Cost: $1,001.12

Change Order #4: Remove and Replace wire per Chargepoint Requirements

Upon installation, the installer informed City Staff that the power connectors within the charging units were not large enough to allow the existing wires to be used. This required that the Contractor re-mobilize to the site, pull out the old wire and re-pull new wire as well as swap out the breakers. This change order includes the cost of the new wire, new breakers and labor to get the work completed.

Total Cost: $8,124.68

Original Contract Amount $ 111,240.00
Net Quantity Adjustments/Change Orders $ 22,382.66
Final Balance $ 133,622.66

DATE: January 21, 2025

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing The City Manager or Designee to Approve a Purchase Order in the amount of $24,800.00 for Wiley Hughes Surveying Inc. to Conduct a Topographical Survey of Filburn Avenue.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution Authorizing The City Manager or designee to approve a purchase order in the amount of $24,800.00 for Wiley Hughes Surveying Inc. to conduct a topographical survey of Filburn Avenue; 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 Califo rnia 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 24/25 FY CIP Budget includes (3) proj ects along Filburn Avenue. Two of the Projects are CMAQ funded shoulder improvements and the other project is a road rehabilitation of Filburn from Central Avenue all the way to G Street.

All three of these projects still require design and the first step of this design would be to conduct a topographical survey of the area to be designed.

At least one of these three projects will be designed in-house with the other(s) being put out to bid.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

103 of 263
Staff believes that having this topographical survey conducted prior to bidding out design will be both cost effective and time effective for all three of the projects in question because Engineering Staff will be able to utilize the survey data for their design(s) and the data will also be provided to the potential bidder(s) so that they are aware they will not have to conduct this portion of work on their own.

Wiley Hughes in 2024 conducted research and prepared offers of dedication for both areas affected by the shoulder improvement projects. This past research makes them the best possible choice to conduct the topographical survey for this area and as such Staff believes Council should approve of the City Manager approving a purchase order in the amount of $24,800.00 to have Wiley Hughes Surveying, Inc. conduct the topographical survey.

Fiscal Impact:

In the City Capital Improvement Project budget, the Council approved Project #24014 for the rehabilitation of Filburn Avenue. This included $45,000.00 for the design phase in FY 24/25. Subtracting $24,800.00 from this FY budget will leave $20,200.00 remaining for Staff to conduct design which will be sufficient.

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.

Thus, no environmental review is required.

Discussion:

In early December 2024, the City of Wasco received a donation of cubicles, executive desks, and miscellaneous office furniture. The furniture is in excellent, like- new condition and will replace the 20+ year- old desks currently in use. While staff removes the old furniture, it is recommended that the old carpet be replaced throughout the building.

The carpet is in poor condition with many visible wear, marks, and tears , potentially causing trip hazards for staff and visitors.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

108 of 263
The carpet will be installed in two phases to minimize disruption to the Police Department daily operations and ensure a seamless transition.

Staff contacted various vendors and obtained three quotes; after review, staff recommends Carpet Outlet Plus for the demo and installation of a new carpet. The requested not-to-exceed amount of $14,000.00 will cover the quoted cost of $12,938.51 plus minor contingencies.

Quotes:

Carpet Outlet Plus - $12,938.51
Metro Floors - $14,971.68
Ramirez Carpet - $19,800.00

Fiscal Impact:

The purchase and installation will be funded by PD building repair and Maintenance account #16200-520803.

DATE: January 21, 2025

SUBJECT: Approval for travel expenses exceeding $500.00 per trip for Water Department staff to attend the California Rural Water Association's various two-day training classes before the end of the fiscal year.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Approval for travel expenses exceeding $500.00 per trip for Water Department staff to attend the California Rural Water Association’s various trainings before the end of the fiscal year, 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:

Staff has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It has been determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity that does not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.

Discussion:

This a request for staff approval for two employees to attend various two- day training classes provided by the Rural Water Association before the end of the fiscal year. Due to recent regulatory changes and the potential implementation of TCP filtration in the city, it is crucial for our staff to stay info rmed. Although the CRWA training schedule has not established firm dates and times yet, this request would grant staff the authority to attend the most relevant classes. Training sessions will be selected based on proximity to Wasco.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

116 of 263

Fiscal Impact:

The training cost for two employees shall not exceed $3,000, which was budgeted for in the water operating budget.

SUBJECT: C onduct a public hearing to receive oral comments concerning unmet transit needs, consider comments, if any, and adopt the Resolution Establishing Unmet Transit Needs Finding for Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council;
1) Conduct a public hearing to receive oral comments concerning unmet transit needs, consider comments, if any, and adopt the Resolution Establishing Unmet Transit Needs Finding for Fiscal Year 2024-2025; 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:

The Transportation Development Act of 1971 (TDA), as amended, provides for the disbursement of funds from the Local Transportation Fund for various eligible transportation uses. The funds are distributed by the Kern Council of Governments (Kern COG) in its capacity as the Regional Transp ortation Planning Agency. An eligible claimant wishing to receive TDA funding through Kern COG must conduct an annual review of the transit needs of the individuals and groups in the community.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

120 of 263
DISCUSSION:

Kern Council of Governments is required to define “unmet needs” and “ reasonable to meet”, and has defined them as follows:

Unmet Need:

An unmet transit need exists if an individual of any age or physical condition is unable to transport himself or herself due to deficiencies in the existing transportation system.

Excluded are 1) Those requests for minor operational improvements and 2) Those improvements funded and scheduled for implementation in the following year.

Reasonable to Meet:

A. Operational Feasibility: The requested improvement must be safe to operate, and there must be adequate roadways for transit vehicles.

B. Duplication of Service: The proposed service shall not duplicate other transit services.

C. Timing: The proposed service shall be in response to an existing rather than a future need.

D. Service must meet the legally required farebox ratio (Public Utilities Code Sections 99268.2, 99268.5 and (California Code of Regulation Sections 6633.2, 6633.5) with fares close to fares of similar service.” The legal farebox ratio is 10%.

The hearing was duly noticed on December 19, 2024. It would be appropriate to open the Public Hearing and receive written and oral comments regarding any “unmet transit need” and determine whether these “needs are reasonable to meet.” The documentation of the Public Hearing will be forwarded to Kern COG.

Dear Mr. Hurlbert:

Kern C
OG staff is preparing for its annual unmet transit needs public hearing process. Our goal is to collect necessary public hearing documents from each Kern County transit
operator by the end of April 2025. An April
completion date allows Kern COG sufficient time to present a summary report to the Social Services Transportation Advisory Committee (SSTAC) that subsequently must make a recommendation to the Kern COG Board of Directors in a duly noticed public hearing.

Ke
rn COG staff requests several documents from each operator to assist staff in the preparation of its unmet transit needs public hearing report including 1) copies of staff reports prepared for the City Council or County Board Meetings; 2) copies of any communications from residents regarding unmet transit needs; 3) copies and proof of the public hearing advertisement; 4) public hearing minutes; and 5) the adopting resolution. Staff would appreciate a copy of any brochure or flyer used to promote the public hearing. Advertisement for the public hearing must be published no less than thirty (30) days prior to the meeting date.

Kern COG st aff has prepared a calendar to track each transit operator’s scheduled unmet transit needs hearing. As soon as your staff has selected a date, please contact us with that information. You may phone t he undersigned at (661) 635-2918 or e-mail [email protected].

DATE: January 21, 2025

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Finalize, Enter into and Execute a Construction Installment Sale Agreement and any and all documentation that may be required and issued by the California State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) under the Drinking Wat er State Revolving Fund (DWSRF ), to secure funding for the planning, design, and construction of the Water System Improvements and Treatment Project.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Finalize, Enter into, and Execute a Construction Installment Sale Agreement and any and all documentation that may be required and issued by the California State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) under the Drinking Water State Re volving Fund (DWSRF), to secure funding for the planning, design, and construction of the Water System Improvements and Treatment Project; and

Find that in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) , the City has prepared an Initial Study and proposed a Mitigation Negative Declaration for the Water System Improvements and

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

Treatment P roject. A Notice of Intent to Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration was posted with the County Clerk on January 26, 2023, published with the California CEQA State Clearinghouse No. 20 23010548, and distributed to affected agencies for review and comment. No comments were received during the review period, which closed on February 27, 2023 . In Spring 2023, the City conducted and filed additional analyses beyond CEQA per State requirements (commonly known as federal environmental cross -cutters). On July 25, 2024, the City received clearance and conservation measures from the United States Department of Interior U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for this project.

Background:

Since September 2020, the City of Wasco has worked diligently to identify the best method for treating 1,2,3 -TCP found in five active groundwater wells. After conducting a feasibility analysis and hydrogeologic study, Dee Jaspar & Associates recommended that the City Council replace four of the five existing wells, as they are nearing the end of their useful life within the next 5 to 10 years.

In September 2020, Dee Jaspar and Associates submitted a financial assistanc e application on behalf of the City of Wasco, requesting $25,868,862 for the project.

This request was made for a 30 -year term to allow the City to spread the costs without draining its reserves or severely impacting rates. The City Council also emphasized that prioritizing water storage is essential. Additionally, members of the Council have expressed the need to implement advanced metering infrastructure.

The city's original application to the State Revolving Fund (SRF) requested a loan to fund the construction of four new groundwater monitoring wells, the installation of 1,2,3-TCP treatment facilities at Well 12, a new groundwater storage tank with a booster pump station, and the installation of automated metering infrastructure.

However, the agreement being considered today does not include the groundwater storage tank with a booster pump station or the installation of automated metering infrastructure. While originally approved, these two items were removed under the proposed draft of the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Construction Installation Sale Agreement.

Project Description:

The Water System Improvement and Treatment Project approved eligible financing items under this agreement , including the construction/drilling of four new groundwater wells (Wells No. 15,16, 17, and 18). These new municipal water wells will replace existing wells (Wells No. 7, 8, 10, and 11) that exceed the State of California maximum contaminant level (MCL) threshold for 1,2,3 - trichloropropane (1,2,3 -TCP) of 0.005- micrograms per liter (mg/L), and occasionally the threshold for nitrates of 10 mg/L for nitrate as nitrogen (N). The four existing well sites being replaced will be abandoned , including all pump 130 of 263
equipment, piping, electrical, and appurtenances. Existing wells are located on the edge of the City’s boundaries, and the existing water supply wells will be abandoned according to Kern County requirements.

This agreement will also fund the installation of a new Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) treatment system at the existing Well No. 12 facility to remove 1,2,3 -TCP.

SCADA System, Real Property, and Easement Acquisition is also included.

Fiscal Impact:

California's Drinking Water State Revolving Fund receives funding from various sources, including grants from the United States Environmental Protection Agency and proceeds from state bonds. This program operates on a reimbursement basis.

The estimated amount approved for the Water System Improvement and Treatment Project under the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) is $37,945,924.

As a result, the Water Enterprise Fund must ensure it has sufficient reserves and cash flow to cover initial expenses before seeking reimbursement. Public Works and Finance departments will need adequate staffing to implement, expedite reimbursement requests, and submit reports on time, at least quarterly, starting no later than 90 days after this agreement is executed.

The City of Wasco is classified as an expanded small water system se rving a severely disadvantaged community, making it eligible for grants of up to 100% with no match or repayment requirement.
