It 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.

scussion:

This request seeks approval for wastewater staff to attend operator certification training to aid in their ongoing development and exam preparation. As part of the operation and maintenance of a wastewater treatment facility, staff must obtain levels of certification based on the facility classification established by the state of California. The ongoing attainment of higher -level lic enses ensures continued permit compliance and allows qualified personnel to operate the facility while meeting water quality standards.

Th
e proposed training details are attached. One operator will attend wastewater technology training in San Bernardino to prepare for the Grade III exam, while the other

operators will participate in the OCT water quality training in Sacramento to prepare for their Grades I and II examinations. Training will be staggered to ensure facility coverage.

Th
e costs of training, hotel fees, and food per diems will surpass the Expense and Use of Public Resources Policy Limits set by City of Wasco Resolution No. 2006-2327, which caps expenses at $500.00 per trip. Therefore, council approval is required.

Fi
scal Impact:

The expected expenses will be funded by the training and travel account associated with the wastewater operating budget for the current fiscal year within public works.

JECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing The City Manager or designee to Endorse and enter into an Agreement with Crosswhite Construction, Inc. for the Well 14 Transit Gate Project in the amount of $ 29,889.00 and allowing the City Manager to execute Contract Change Orders in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of $10,000.00.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution Authorizing The City Manager or designee to Endorse and enter into an Agreement with Crosswhite Construction, Inc. for the Well 14 Transit Gate Project in the amount of $ 29,889.00 and allowing the City Manager to execute Contract Change Orders in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of $10,000.00.
2) Find the subject activity is not a project within the meaning of CEQA G uidelines Section 15378 and is, therefore, not subject to review under CEQA.

Environmental Review:

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

Discussion:

On December 3rd, 2024, Council approved the rejection of bids received for the Well 14 Transit Gate Project.

Staff believed that the lowest bid received at that time ($73,500.00) was too high. After the Council approved the rejection, Staff made some small revisions to the project specifications and re-advertised.

Th
e City re-advertised for bids on January 18, 2025, and opened bids on February 12th, 2025, at 2:00 PM.

scal Impact:

Project #21034 in the City Capital Improvement Project budget allocated funds for installing EV chargers at the Well 14 site for use by the Transit Department and their incoming EV Fleet. The Project was initially budgeted for $182,000, but in 2022 , it was supplemented with additional State of Good Repair funds awarded by Kern COG, which increased the budget to $313,943.12. In addition to the budgeted funds, the City received reimbursement from PG&E in the amount of $98,968.75, increasing the budget again to a total of $412,911.87 . After the purchase of the charging stations and installation of said charging stations, the City had expended a total of ~$343,239. 54, leaving ~ $69,672.33 remaining, which safely allows for this proposed work along with contingencies.

JECT: Approval of Travel and Training Expenses Exceeding $500.00 per trip for the Finance Director to attend the California Municipal Treasurers Association 2025 Annual Training Conference on April 22-25, 2025.

Recom
mendation:

Sta
ff recommends the City Council:
1) Approve the travel and training expenses exceeding $ 500.00 per trip for the Finance Director to attend the California Municipal Treasurers Association 2025 Annual Training Conference on April 22-25, 2025.
2) Fi
nd that this action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c) (3), no environmental review is required.

En
vironmental 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 resu lt 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.

Ba
ckground:

Through its various programs and events, the California Municipal Treasurers Association (CMTA) serves as a valuable resource for both public agencies and the finance professionals working within them. The annual CMTA Training Conference brings together a wealth of expertise, covering a comprehensive array of topics relevant to municipal treasurers.

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

scussion:

Investing in professional development and education for our city's workforce holds a twofold benefit: not only does it enhance the city's capabilities, but it also equips our employees with the essential skills to elevate their own expertise. Training opportunities not only provide avenues for learning but als o facilitate the creation of valuable professional networks.

To
ensure continued skill and networking improvement, staff recommends approval for the participation of the Finance Director in the upcoming C MTA Annual Training. A preliminary conference program attached for reference.

Th
e cost of the training will exceed the Expense and Use of Public Resources Policy Limits established by City of Wasco Resolution No. 2006 -2327 limiting expenses to $500.00 per trip. As a result, the City Council must approve the travel request for the Finance Director as the expenses for the trip will exceed $500.00.

Fi
scal Impact:

The cost of th is training will not exceed $1,500 including the conference and travel expenses. The training cost is contained in the adopted FY 2024 – 2025 Budget; no budget action is required with approval of this item.

JECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing The City Manager or designee to approve a purchase order with Loop Electric in an amount not to exceed $55,000 to install electrical infrastructure for lighting along HWY 43.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution Authorizing The City Manager or designee to approve a purchase order with Loop Electric in an amount not to exceed $ 55,000 to install electrical infrastructure for lighting along HWY 43; and 2) Fi
nd 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:

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:

On February 6, 2024 Council approved the purchase of 26 arms and fixtures to convert the lighting along HWY 43 south entrance to city from Solar Powered to Hard -wire powered lights. This all stemmed from the cost to replace the batteries in the existing lights.

St
aff has since received the lights and is now ready to install.

On
December 3, 2024 City Council approved a cost not to exceed $40,000 to work with Loop Electric to retrofit 6 poles at the North end of the East side of HWY 43.

Soon
after Loop began their work it was realized that things were moving rather quickly.

At that time Staff directed the Contractor to expand their scope to the entire East side of

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco
32 of 65
HWY 43 from Filburn to Poso. Within two weeks after starting the work everything was complete and the Contractor was able to stay under the $40,000 budget all while getting 13 lights completely retrofitted.

Th
e work included over 2,500 feet of conduit installed as well as over 7,500 feet of wire pulled through that conduit.

As
part of the December 3 rd Staff report, it was stated that Staff would return to the Council to determine a direction to get the remaining lights along HWY 43 working. With the success realized from the first phase of this work, Staff would like to direct Loop Electric to conduct the same scope of work on the West side of HWY 43 between Filburn and Poso.

The increased $15,000 budget is due to additional traffic control requirements and additional boring conduits West on 16th Street to access an existing PG&E power source.

As in the first phase, all work for this phase will be performed on a time and materials basis.

Fi
scal Impact:

The 2023/2024 FY budget (Project # 20214) allocated an additional $550,000.00 to implement street lighting installations City-Wide. The account currently has $1,000,000.00 remaining. This project would be well within the budget constraints of these funds.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco
40 of 65
Environmental Review:

The staff has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It has 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.

Di
scussion:

On February 10, City Staff received an inquiry about the possible use of the downtown plaza and adjacent streets for an event observing World Bipolar Day on March 30, 2025.

Please see Attachment 1 for a description of the proposed event and request for City support. The event is proposed to take place on 7th and E Streets from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (see attachment 2 for the proposed event layout).

Th
e City requires that a local Wasco non -profit organization be the lead sponsor of an event like this. The Orange Heart Foundation is the lead sponsor of this event. It will be responsible for all entertainment features, and retail and food vendor compliance issues and will provide the City with proper event insurance.

Th
e request for City support for this event includes the following:

1. Tr
affic Control and street closure on 7th and E Streets (see attachment 2)

2. Use of the Courthouse Building and City Council Chambers for workshops.

3. PD support for event policing

4. Use of City LED traffic signs to direct attendees to event parkin g in Downtown Public Parking Lots.

5. Use of the City’s LED sign in Veterans Park for advertising.

6. $6,100 cash contribution to rent a stage for the event.

St
aff believes this is a good opportunity for a local organization to use the newly renovated space downtown for an event that benefits the Community. The plaza is intended to be a space where residents and businesses can gather together, and staff is supportive of the use of this space for this event.

Sin
ce th e event is scheduled to take place on a Sunday, Staff requested that the organizer contact and obtain support from Freewill Baptist Church as they will be impacted by the street closure in front of their building during Sunday services (see Attachment 3 for letter of support from Freewill Baptist Church).

Ad
ditionally, the organizers have agreed to visit each business downtown with event information and an invitation to participate.

Th
ings the Council needs to consider in reviewing this request:

1. Doe
s the contribution of cash funds to support a non -City-sponsored event set a precedent for potential future events sponsored by other organizations where the Council may receive requests for direct funding?

2. If the Council chooses to support this event with a cash contribution, should guidelines be established for potential future requests? 41 of 65
Fiscal Impact:

If the Counci l chooses to support some or all of these requests , the requested cash contributions would be taken from the City Council Special Events and Project Budget, which has a current breakdown and balance as follows:

Fu
rther fiscal impact includes soft costs related to Public Works and PD staff overtime on a Sunday to conduct traffic control and open and close City buildings.

Pr
oposal for City of Wasco Partnership: World Bipolar Day 2025 Event Dear
City of Wasco Officials,
We ar
e excited to present an opportunity for the City of Wasco to partner with us in hosting a transformative and community-driven event in celebration of World Bipolar Day 2025 on Sunday, March 30. This event will not only serve as a platform for mental health education and awareness but also as a vibrant celebration of art, creativity, and community unity. With your partnership, we can create a meaningful and impactful experience that will benefit Wasco residents and beyond.

Ev
ent Overview
The
event will be a full day of entertainment, education, and engagement, featuring:
• Li
ve Music and Performances: A diverse lineup of local musicians, dancers, and poets.
• Mental Health Workshops and Speakers: In partnership with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Kern County, we will provide life-saving education on bipolar, mental illness, and resources available to the community. • Art Festival Component: Highlighting the connection between mental health and creativity, the event will include a live mural painting of Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night by Leo Alvarez, the acclaimed local artist behind the stunning murals at the 15th Street Park. The completed mural will be auctioned, with proceeds donated to NAMI Kern County to support mental health initiatives.
• Youth Art Activities: Axzay Villareal, a talented local artist, will lead engaging art activities for youth, incorporating mental health educational components to inspire creativity while fostering emotional well-being.
• Community Resources: Informational booths from mental health advocacy groups and other community resources.
• Festive Atmosphere: Food vendors, local artisans, and activities to create a celebratory environment for all attendees. A 'Candy Land Corner' will be featured, showcasing a spacious lounge adorned with vibrant balloons. The space will include tables draped with linen tablecloths and comfortable chairs, offering guests a relaxing spot to sit, dine, and enjoy the live entertainment." (This area will be generously sponsored by Candy Landy Party Supply from Shafter). A classic car club for a car show may participate.

Why T
his Event Matters

1. M
ental Health Education: Mental health stigma remains a significant barrier to care.

This event will provide accessible education, resources, and support to empower individuals and families. Sixty million people worldwide are affected with bipolar. 43 of 65

2. Art and Creativity: Vincent Van Gogh, who lived with bipolar disorder, exemplifies the powerful link between mental health and creativity. By celebrating art, we honor this connection and inspire hope.

3. Community Unity: This event will bring together residents, organizations, and local businesses, fostering a sense of belonging and solidarity.

4. Economic and Cultural Impact: Hosting the event in the newly renovated downtown area will draw visitors, highlight Wasco's art installations, and support local vendors and artists.

Pr
oposed Venue: Downtown Wasco
Th
e newly revitalized downtown area, with its existing art installations and central location, is the perfect setting for this event. Its accessibility and vibrant atmosphere will elevate the experience for attendees while aligning with the event's artistic and community-focused mission.

Recent events, such as National Night Out and the Christmas Event, have been tremendously successful, and we anticipate this event will be equally well-received. The City has expressed a strong interest in hosting more community events downtown, and we aim to help fulfill that vision.

Ou
r goal is for this event to grow into a cherished tradition on par with the Wasco Rose Festival, attracting visitors from Bakersfield and surrounding communities. We are excited to extend a special invitation to the City of Shafter as our honored guest. This event represents an opportunity for the City of Wasco to strengthen community ties and exemplify the spirit of being a good neighbor.

We
will also invite local elected officials, including Dr. Jasmeet Bains, who, as a medical professional, we are confident will support this vital cause. Additionally, we plan to extend invitations to Congressman David Valadao, Senator Melissa Hurtado, and Kern County Supervisor David Couch. Their participation would further highlight the significance of this event to our community.

Pa
rtnerships and Outreach
Thi
s event already enjoys strong community support, including:
• Nat
ional Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Kern County: A trusted leader in mental health advocacy. This event is proudly presented in partnership with NAMI Kern County. NAMI is the nation's leading organization dedicated to mental health awareness, education, and advocacy. With Affiliates in every state across the country, NAMI has been at the forefront of the mental health movement for over four decades, providing life-saving resources, support, and programs to millions of individuals and families affected by mental illness. NAMI's impact is unparalleled. • This event is particularly significant, as it is likely the first-ever World Bipolar Day celebration in the Central Valley, marking a historic moment for our region. To make this occasion truly memorable, we are planning a large stage with a full lineup of performers, including pending performances from Planet Dance Studio, whose talented 44 of 65
dancers will bring energy and artistry to the event. DJ Nonsense will also provide family- friendly music, ensuring a lively and engaging atmosphere for all attendees. • A key component of this event will be education, with a series of workshops led by experts presenting on various topics related to mental health and bipolar awareness. These workshops will be offered in English and Spanish to ensure accessibility and inclusivity for all attendees. Locations for these workshops are still being finalized, but potential venues include the Old Courthouse, the community spaces at California Home Pros offices, or the Wasco K&R Banquet Hall. We are open to suggestions and collaboration with the City to identify the most suitable spaces for these important sessions.
• In addition to the workshops, there will be three guest speakers specializing in mental health coordinated by NAMI Kern County. These speakers will share their expertise, personal stories, and insights, further enriching the educational experience and providing attendees with valuable mental health and wellness perspectives. • I am working closely with the President of NAMI Kern County, Sharon Woolfolk, who has made it her mission to bring mental health awareness to the Wasco community.

She sees World Bipolar Day as an excellent vehicle to accomplish this goal and as the beginning of many more opportunities to continue raising awareness and providing resources to our residents.
• Councilmember Gilberto Reyna: We are grateful to have the support of Councilmember Reyna, who is joining the effort as a co-founder of World Bipolar Day and has coordinated a partnership with his parish, St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church. Through this collaboration, we will ensure that his congregation and the broader Latino community have access to this critical information, further breaking down barriers to mental health education and resources.
• Orange Heart Foundation: Co-organizers of the annual Rose Festival and Christmas events, which draw thousands of attendees. Their partnership will help leverage their audience to ensure a successful turnout. Orquidea Ocampo and Traci Clendenen, OHF co-founders, are assisting with organizing the event, bringing their expertise in coordinating large-scale events for the City of Wasco. They are coordinating permits, food trucks, vendors, and face painting for the event and other critical components.
• Líderes Campesinas del Norte: A respected advocacy group dedicated to empowering farmworker families and the Latino community. Their involvement is particularly critical as Wasco has a large Latino population, and mental health awareness within this community is often overlooked due to cultural stigma and limited access to resources. Líderes Campesinas del Norte will help ensure that the event is inclusive and accessible, providing culturally relevant outreach and education to a demographic that is often underserved.
• Local Organizations: Faith-based groups, mental health advocates, and other nonprofits will contribute resources and expertise.
• Media Exposure: Extensive promotion will be provided through the Wasco Tribune and Sharon Sharp, a prominent social media influencer behind the popular Facebook page WascoIS, which has a significant following. This partnership will amplify our reach and engagement within the community. A comprehensive media campaign will also be planned to promote the event, both leading up to and during the celebration, as well 45 of 65
as post-event, to highlight its success and impact.This campaign will include media appearances on the morning of the event, interviews, and coverage in local news outlets. This will draw attention to the event and spotlight the City of Wasco, recognizing its commitment to advocating for mental health awareness and supporting this critical initiative.
• Post-event, we will highlight the day's success, including the impact of the workshops, performances, and community engagement. We will generate positive press for the City of Wasco and reinforce its role as a leader in promoting mental health awareness and community well-being.
• This media campaign will amplify the event's message and position Wasco as a forward-thinking, compassionate city that prioritizes the health and unity of its residents. By partnering with us, the City of Wasco will be celebrated for its dedication to this vital cause, further enhancing its reputation as a caring community.

Fe
atured Artists and Advisors
• Le
o Alvarez: Renowned for his breathtaking murals at 15th Street Park, Leo will bring his exceptional talent to the event by creating a live mural of Starry Night, symbolizing the intersection of art and mental health.
• Axzay Villareal: A gifted local artist, Axzay will lead youth-focused art activities that blend creativity with mental health education, ensuring that younger attendees leave inspired and informed. A "Kids Art Playground" will feature various interactive art activities and games to keep children engaged. We will also rent an inflatable jousting arena and a train for rides for the kids.
• Art Sherwyn: Sherwyn, a respected figure in the Northern California art community who played a key role in leading not only the art installations but also coordinating all artists and overseeing the implementation of art throughout the Wasco downtown arts district as part of the downtown rehabilitation project, has agreed to support the project as an advisor, providing invaluable guidance on the art component of the festival to ensure its success and alignment with the event's mission.

Spons
orship Recruitment Strategy: Targeting Corporate Entities and Local Service Clubs To
fund these activities, I plan to implement an aggressive sponsorship recruitment strategy, beginning with targeted outreach to the following corporate entities: The Wonderful Company, Strata Credit Union, California Resources Corporation, and Walmart. Local small businesses will also be approached. Additionally, I will target several service clubs with which I have established strong relationships, including the Wasco Rotary Club (I am a member) and the Wasco Elks Lodge. I have already approached the Wasco Elks Lodge with a request for a donation, and I will be presenting at their Board of Directors meeting on February 19th to give a presentation on the event and for a formal ask. Over the past three years, as an editor with the Wasco Tribune, I have cultivated close ties with these organizations. They will be eager to support such a noble cause, as these entities have a vested interest in the well-being and growth of the Wasco community.
46 of 65
Furthermore, I anticipate that excess funds will be raised from the fundraising campaign. If this occurs, these funds will be used to collaborate with Councilmember Gilberto Reyna to continue coordinating additional mental health awareness and educational programs that benefit Wasco residents. Councilmember Reyna has firsthand experience hosting these types of events in the past, making him an invaluable partner in ensuring the success and sustainability of these initiatives.

In a
ddition, artist and Mental Health Advocate John Shafer, who designed the official event t- shirts and related merchandise, has agreed to donate 20% of the sales to NAMI Kern. I am negotiating with President Woolfolk to ensure that the money raised from the merchandise sold will stay local and be invested in the continued mental health education in the Wasco community. Shafer owns Moodiform, a clothing brand that blends fashion with mental awareness. He will also provide the design of the promotional videos, website, flyers, and other graphic design work that will recognize the City of Wasco as a partner of World Bipolar Day on a pro-bono basis, saving us considerable money.

Re
quest for City Support
We
kindly ask the City of Wasco to join this initiative by joining the Global World Bipolar Day event as a presenting partner:

1. Granting permission to use the downtown area as the event venue.

2. Providing logistical support to ensure a safe and successful event.

3. Sponsorship of the Entertainment Stage
Wi
th your sponsorship, you could help us secure a 24 x 32 ft stage complete with a considerable size LED wall featuring a large video screen to display company sponsor logos and their videos.

Lights and a sound system are included. Scorpion Productions would provide the stage, which the Orange Heart Foundation recommends. It comes with a professional engineer to manage set up and break down for all the bands that will perform. The cost for this is $5500.

Th
e ability to feature sponsor logos and videos on the television screen is a bonus as it will be a selling point when recruiting sponsors as a benefit for their sponsorship, and that will ultimately help us to raise more money.

Th
e stage is a critical event element, as much of the celebration revolves around a full entertainment lineup. Performers, including bands, dancers, singers, poets, speakers, and special guests, need a beautiful stage with an excellent sound system that reflects our great City's spirit and pride.

Thi
s event will be Wasco's time to shine; we want to put our best foot forward. Please help us achieve our goal of hosting an unforgettable event—one that not only spreads awareness of an important cause but also brings friends and families together for a meaningful and enjoyable experience.

Let
this event be the beginning of a proud Wasco tradition. With your support, we can make it happen!

gether, we can create an event that educates, inspires, and unites our community in a celebration of art, resilience, and hope. By supporting World Bipolar Day 2025, the City of Wasco will demonstrate its dedication to fostering a healthier, more connected, and vibrant community.

Live Art Proposal
VINCENT VAN GOGH: STARRY NIGHT
Starry Night is one of the most recognized pieces of art in the world. It is absolutely everywhere, too. It can be seen on coffee, mugs, t-shirts, towels, magnets, etc. Honestly, it sometimes feels as if the painting’s fame has exceeded that of its creator. It is a magnificent piece of art. That Starry Night resonates with so many people is a testament to how its beauty is timeless and universal.

THE STORY OF STARRY NIGHT
Vincent van Gogh painted Starry Night in 1889 during his stay at the asylum of Saint- Paul-de-Mausole near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Van Gogh lived well in the hospital; he was allowed more freedoms than any of the other patients. If attended, he could leave the hospital grounds; he was allowed to paint, read, and withdraw into his own room. He was even given a studio. While he suffered from the occasional relapse into paranoia and fits - officially he had been diagnosed with epileptic fits - it seemed his mental health was recovering.

Unfortunately, he relapsed. He began to suffer hallucination and have thoughts of suicide as he plunged into depression. Accordingly, there was a tonal shift in his work. He returned to incorporating the darker colors from the beginning of his career and Starry Night is a wonderful example of that shift. Blue dominates the painting, blending hills into the sky. The little village lays at the base in the painting in browns, greys, and blues.

Even though each building is clearly outlined in black, the yellow and white of the stars and the moon stand out against the sky, drawing the eyes to the sky. They are the big attention grabber of the painting.

Artist Leo Alvarez will be creating a live mural replica of Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night, one of Van Gogh’s most iconic masterpieces. We are seeking permission for Alvarez to paint this mural in the plaza. This component of the festival will serve as a central attraction, generating excitement and adding a vibrant, interactive element that reflects the theme of the event. As the festival honors Van Gogh, his art, and the intersection of creativity and mental health awareness, the live mural will not only celebrate his legacy but also symbolize the healing power of art. It underscores how the festival is as much about mental health as it is about artistic expression, creating a meaningful connection for attendees.

The final art piece will then be auctioned off, with the proceeds benefiting NAMI of Kern County to fund additional mental health programs in Wasco. 51 of 65
World Bipolar Day and Its Connection to Vincent van Gogh World Bipolar Day (WBD) is observed annually on March 30, the birthday of Vincent van Gogh, one of history’s most celebrated artists. The day is dedicated to raising awareness about bipolar disorder, eliminating stigma, and encouraging open conversations about mental health. Van Gogh, who is believed to have suffered from bipolar disorder, serves as a poignant symbol of the link between creativity and mental health struggles.

Vincent van Gogh: A Legacy of Art and Mental Resilience Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) is one of the most iconic artists in history, known for masterpieces like The Starry Night, Sunflowers, and Café Terrace at Night. Despite his artistic brilliance, Van Gogh battled severe mental health challenges, experiencing episodes of mania and depression that many historians now associate with bipolar disorder. His struggles culminated in his tragic death at the age of 37. However, his work—characterized by vivid colors, bold brushstrokes, and raw emotion—continues to inspire millions worldwide.

World Bipolar Day Festival: A Celebration of Art and Mental Health Wasco’s World Bipolar Day 2025 festival is designed to celebrate both mental health awareness and artistic expression. Art is not just a theme of the event; it is an integral part of the festivities, aligning perfectly with the beautification of downtown and the stunning artwork that now defines the newly remodeled area.

Throughout the event, attendees will experience:
🎨🎨 Live Art Displays & Murals – Showcasing the power of creativity in mental wellness. 🖼🖼 Local Artists & Exhibitions – Featuring works that reflect themes of mental health and resilience.
🧠🧠 Mental Health Resources – Providing education and support for those affected by bipolar disorder.
🌆🌆 Downtown Beautification – Highlighting the role of art in community transformation.

This festival is about breaking stigma, celebrating creativity, and fostering a sense of community—just as Van Gogh’s legacy continues to do today.

From: Bro Paul Hernandez, Pastor of the Wasco Free Will Baptist Church To whom it may concern,
The Wasco Free Will Baptist Church is in support of The World Bipolar Day Festival held on Sunday March 3oth on ih street here in Wasco.

While we will be in our normally scheduled services during some of the event, we understand the need to shut down the street and temporarily inconvenience our normal parking situation. However due to this worthy cause, we have no problem with this agreement and pray this event is a huge success.

I hope this letter suffices for any information needed, however if not please feel free to call me at 661-758-5906.

Faithfully,
!?aatfftemandez

Purchase and installation of replacement playground
equipment for Barker Park

Discussion:

The 2024 – 2025 City CIP budget i ncludes $550,000 of Measure X funding for various improvements in Barker and Westside Parks . City Staff has met with the District General Manager over the past several months to tour the park facilities and develop a prioritized list of improvements that need to be made in both parks. It was determined that the two most important projects were replacing the playground structures at both parks and the wrought iron fencing around the Barker Park swimming pool.

Th
e proposed projects include the demolition a nd removal of old equipment and fencing, the purchase and installation of new equipment and fencing, and the installation of Certified Playground Fiber.

At
tachment 1 shows the budget details for these projects. Please note that the $99,277.33 represents funds remaining after completion of the playground equipment projects and will be used to replace the Barker Park Pool fence. The actual amount remaining may fluctuate up or down depending upon actual costs. The district will pay for costs exceeding that amount.

Fi
scal Impact:

Project Number 21008 of the City’s CIP budget includes $550,000 for park improvements in Barker and Westside Park. The funds will be expended on a reimbursement basis, with the District submitting invoices to the City along with proof of payment for the items listed on the invoices.
