TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager
Maria O. Martinez, City Clerk
DATE: November 18, 2025
SUBJECT: Approval of Travel and Training Expenses exceeding $500.00 per trip for the City Manager and Council Members to attend the League of California Cities Mayors and Council Members Academy Conference on January 21- 23, 2026, in Sacramento, CA.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Approval of Travel and Training Expenses exceeding $500.00 per trip for the City Manager and Council Members to attend the League of California Cities Mayors and Council Members Academy Conference on January 21 -23, 2026, in Sacramento, CA; 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.
Discussion:
The Mayors and Council Members Academy offers essential training on key, foundational topics for local government, delivered by subject matter experts and seasoned elected officials. This annual event is held in late January in Sacramento . The program provides the state-mandated AB 1234 Ethics course and is the first of three stages for leadership levels for local elected officials.
STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco
The cost of the training, hotel fees, and food per diems will exceed the Expense and Use of Public Resources Policy limit s established by City of Wasco Resolution No. 2006 -2327, which limit expenses to $500.00 per trip. As a result, the City Council must approve the travel request as the trip expenses will exceed $500.00.
Fiscal Impact:

15.04.050 Findings.
The city council of the city of Wasco finds and declares that the additions, modifications, and changes made to the codes are necessary for the protection ATTACHMENT 1
of the public health, safety, and welfare due to climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. These amendments are authorized under Health and Safety Code Sections 18941.5 and 17958 and are identified as follows:
A. Express Finding Number 1: Climatic.
1. The city of Wasco is in the seventy miles per hour wind zone; this results in frequent movement and shifting of buildings, structures, and associated systems serving those facilities.
2. The city of Wasco receives an average rainfall of seven or more inches per year. Heavy storms are very infrequent and precipitation events from a given storm are typically minimal.
3. The city of Wasco is susceptible to extended periods of Tule fog. These conditions cause loss of visibility. This condition often results in multiple vehicle accidents which will commit emergency resources for extended periods of time, as well as create driving difficulties for emergency equipment resulting in delayed response times to fires and other emergencies.
B. Express Finding Number 2: Geological.
1. The city is located in seismic zone 4. Built-in fire protection and other safety measures, such as limitations of building height, stories, areas, and the anchoring of the structure to the foundation would provide a higher level of safety for building occupants, emergency responders, and property. This is even more critical in high occupancy (assembly) buildings where the potential loss of life is very high. Minor earthquakes occur causing movement and shifting of buildings, structures, and associated systems serving those facilities.
C. Express Finding Number 3: Topographical.
1. The city of Wasco drops in elevation +/- 50 feet from the east to the northwest of the natural flow of the land.
15.04.060 Filing of findings.
The city clerk is directed to file a copy of the ordinance codified in this chapter with the California Building Standards Commission of the state of California.
15.04.065 Interpretation.
The provisions of this code are enacted for the public health, safety, and welfare and are to be liberally construed to obtain the beneficial purposes thereof as specified in Chapter 1 of the Building Code.
15.04.070 Liability.
The provisions of this code shall not be construed as imposing upon the City of Wasco any liability or responsibility for damage to persons or property resulting from defective work, nor shall the city of Wasco, or any official, employee or agent thereof, be held as assuming any such liability or responsibility by reason of ATTACHMENT 1
the review or inspection authorized by the provisions of this code or of any permits or certificates issued under this code.
Section 4: Effective date and publication
The ordinance codified in this chapter shall take effect on January 1, 2026, after its adoption and pursuant to resolution, published in summary format prior to adoption and within fifteen days after its adoption in a newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the city of Wasco.
The City Clerk is hereby ordered to publish this Ordinance in summary form in accordance with the law, in a newspaper of general circulation in the City. This ordinance shall become effective 30 days from the date of its adoption.

Thus, no environmental review is required.

Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council:

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 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.
