TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

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

DATE: July 7, 2026

SUBJECT: Receive and File the 2026 Local Agency Biennial Notice Indicating that No Amendment is Required to the City’s Conflict of Interest Code at this time, and authorize the City Manager or Designee to Endorse the Notice.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council
1) Receive and File the 2026 Local Agency Biennial Notice Indicating that No Amendment is Required to the City’s Conflict of Interest Code at this time and Authorize the City Manager or Designee to Endorse the Notice; 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:

Government Code § 87306.5 requires all local agencies to conduct a biennial review of their Conflict of Interest Code in even-numbered years. The FPPC requires each agency to submit a Biennial Notice by October 1, 2026, indicating whether:
• Amendments are required, or
• No amendments are necessary.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

28 of 214
The City’s Conflict of Interest Code identifies designated positions and assigns disclosure categories for individuals required to file Statements of Economic Interests (Form 700).

As part of the 2026 review, staff evaluated:
• The City’s current organizational structure
• Job classifications and assigned duties
• Existing disclosure categories
• FPPC regulatory updates since the last review
This review confirmed that the City’s code remains accurate and compliant. • No new positions have been created that require Form 700 filing. • No existing positions have changed in a way that would alter disclosure requirements.
• No departmental reorganizations have occurred that impact the code. • FPPC regulatory changes since 2024 do not require updates to the City’s code.

Because the Conflict of Interest Code remains current and functional, the City’s 2026 Biennial Notice properly indicates “No Amendment Required.” No City Council action beyond receiving and filing is required.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with receiving and filing the Biennial Notice.

The code includes all other provisions required by Government Code Section 87302.

FAIR POLITICAL PRACTICES COMMISSION
2026 Conflict of Interest Code
Biennial Notice Instructions for Local Agencies

The Political Reform Act requires every local governm ent agency to review its conflict of interest code biennially. A conflict of interest code tells public officials, governmental employees, and consultants what financial interests they must disclose on their Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700).

By July 1, 202 6: The code reviewing body must notify agencies and special districts within its jurisdiction to review their conflict of interest codes.

By October 1, 2026: The biennial notice must be filed with the agency’s code reviewing body.

The FPPC has prepared a 202 6 Local Agency Biennial Notice form for local agencies to complete or send to agencies within its jurisdiction to complete before submitting to the code reviewing body. The City Council is the code reviewing body for city agencies. The County Board of Supervisors is the code reviewing body for county agencies and any other local government agency whose jurisdiction is determined to be solely within the county (e.g., school districts, including certain charter schools). The FPPC is the code reviewing body for any agency with jurisdiction in more than one county and will contact them.

The Local Agency Biennial Notice is not forwarded to the FPPC.

If amendments to an agency’s conflict of interest code are necessary, the amended code must be forwarded to the code reviewing body for approval within 90 days. An agency’s amended code is not effective until it has been approved by the code reviewing body.

If you answer yes, to any of the questions below, your agency’s code probably needs to be amended.

• Is the current code more than five years old?
• Have there been any substantial changes to the agency’s organizational structure since the last code was approved?
• Have any positions been eliminated or re-named since the last code was approved? • Have any new positions been added since the last code was approved? • Have there been any substantial changes in duties or responsibilities for any positions since the last code was approved?

If you have any questions or are still not sure if you should amend your agency’s conflict of interest code, please contact the FPPC. Additional information including an online webinar regarding how to amend a conflict of interest code is available on FPPC’s website. 31 of 214

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager
Alecio Mora, Chief of Police

DATE: July 7, 2026

SUBJECT: Approval of Travel and Training Expenses exceeding $500.00 for one Wasco Police Department Officer to attend the Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) Course scheduled for June 22-24, 2026, in Simi Valley, California. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) Approval of travel and training expenses exceeding $500.00 for one Wasco Police Department Officer to attend the Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) Course scheduled for June 22-24, 2026, in Simi Valley, California, including lodging, meals, and travel costs; and

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

Environmental Review:

The proposed action consists of a governmental administrative and fiscal activity that does not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment. As such, it is not a “project” under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines and is not subject to CEQA.

Background:

The Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) Course is a POST-certified training program that teaches officers to recognize and investigate impaired drivers using the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) standardized field sobriety tests. The training will be held June 22 -24, 2026, in Simi Valley, California, and includes practical exercises and a wet lab component.

Discussion:

One Wasco Police Department Officer will attend this training to improve the Department's ability to detect and investigate impaired driving offenses. The course will enhance the officer's DUI investigation skills, support the successful prosecution of impaired drivers, and further the objectives of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) 38 of 214
Cannabis Tax Fund Grant by strengthening impaired-driving enforcement and promoting roadway safety within the City of Wasco.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no registration fee for this training. The estimated cost for attendance, including lodging, meals, and travel expenses, is approximately $600.00 for one employee. All costs associated with this training will be fully funded through the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Cannabis Tax Fund Grant, which provides funding for impaired driving enforcement and officer training initiatives. Therefore, no additional General Fund impact is anticipated.

DATE: July 7, 2026

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Accept the Grant Award of $187,896.00 and Execute the Grant Agreement, Budget Appropriations, Certifications and Assurances for the FY 2026 -2027 California State of Good Repair (SGR) Program.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee to accept the award and execute a grant agreement , budget appropriations, certifications, and assurances thereto for the FY2026-2027 California State of Good Repair (SGR) Program; and

2) Find that 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 constitute s a project will be reviewed for compliance with CEQA.

Discussion:

The State of Good Repair/State Transit Assistance (SGR/STA) Program, which is part of Senate Bill 1, allocates funds annually to transit operators in California for eligible transit maintenance, rehabilitation, and capital projects. The SGR Program provides public transportation agencies with a consistent and dependable revenue source to invest in

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

40 of 214
the upgrade, repair, and improvement of their transportation infrastructure, thereby enhancing transportation services. SGR funds are made available for capital projects that maintain the public transit system in a state of good repair. PUC Section 99212.1 (c) lists the projects eligible for SGR funding as follows:

• Transit capital projects or services to maintain or repair a transit operator’s existing transit vehicle fleet or transit facilities, including the rehabilitation and/or modernization of the existing vehicles or facilities.
• The design, acquisition, and construction of new vehicles or facilities that improve existing transit services.
• Transit services that complement local efforts to repair and improve local transportation infrastructure.

This resolution authorizes the City Manager to execute the Certifications and Assurances form required for participation in the SGR Program. The City plans to use its FY 2026-2027 SGR apportionment of $187,896.00 to design and construct a new transit operating and maintenance facility at the southeast corner of Filburn Street and Central Avenue.

Fiscal Impact:

No matching funds are required. This project is part of the FY 2026-2027 Capital Improvement Program (Project#25004), with multiple funding sources supporting this capital project.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager
Maria Lara, Assistant City Manager
Maria Martinez, City Clerk/Administrative Manager

DATE: July 7, 2026

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing Submission of an Application for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Federal Funding Under Section 5311 (49 U.S.C. Section 5311) and the Execution of a Standard Agreement with the California Department of Transportation, Division of Rail and Mass Transportation. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Recommendation:

Staff Recommends The City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution authorizing the submission of an application for federal funding under FTA Section 5311 (49 U.S.C. Section 5311) and the execution of a standard agreement with the California Department of Transportation, Division of Rail and Mass Transportation; 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 indirec t 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.

Background:

Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5311 provides supplemental funding to support public transportation in non -urbanized areas with populations of fewer than 50,000 residents. Funds are allocated based on population data from the 2020 decennial census and are used to support transit operations, including labor, supplies, fuel, and other operating expenses.

For the Fiscal Year 202 6-2027, the City of Wasco ’s FTA Section 5311 apportionment is $162,704.00 in funds . To comply with FTA 5311 requirements , the funding must be split between a 44.67% local share and a 55.33% federal share. The City of Wasco plans to use 44 of 214
5311 for Transit Operating Assistance. The estimated local share of $915,460.00 will be met using TDA, LCTOP, and STAF funds. The Net Operating Transit Cost is estimated at $1,078,164.00 for FY 2026-27.

This resolution authorizes the receipt of federal funds , the execution of a standard agreement, the certification of assurances, budget appropriations , and reimbursement requests for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The FTA 5311 applications are due back to Caltrans via the BlackCat program no later than August 3, 2026, at 2 p.m.

Fiscal Impact:

FTA Section 5311 apportionment will fund Transit Operations for Fiscal Year 2026-2027, and the local share requirement will be covered by the Transportation Development Act (TDA), Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP), and State Transit Assistance (STAF) funds.

DATE: July 7, 2026

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Execute a Purchase Order for the Purchase of a Brush Loader Replacement Engine for the Sanitation Department from Coastline Equipment in an amount not to exceed $15,000.00.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute a purchase for the Purchase of a Brush Loader Replacement Engine for the Sanitation Department from Coastline Equipment in an amount not to exceed $15,000.00; and

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 the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.

Discussion:

The City’s brush loader is used by the sanitation department to maintain the City’s Green Waste Facility and to pick up large debris. Due to the loader's age, the engine is irreparable and needs replacement.

A quote from Coastline Equipment for $11,487.42 to replace this unit’s engine was obtained, which would extend the loader's lifespan. The labor will be performed in-house.

Environmental Review:

Background:

Capital Improvement Project CIP No. 27006 consists of purchasing a heavy-duty pickup truck to be upfitted with a utility bed and rack for the shop department. The vehicle’s intended use would be primarily to respond to vehicle service calls for the city’s fleet.

Discussion:

To replace some of the city’s low-fuel-efficiency vehicles, staff intends to repurpose Truck No. 40, which has low mileage and is assigned to the Wastewater Department, and upfit it to meet the shop’s needs. Therefore, staff is requesting approval to acquire two smaller

pickup trucks, using the funds allocated for this CIP Project to handle tasks that do not require larger pickup trucks while replacing the city’s aging fleet.

A quote was obtained from National Auto Fleet Group through Sourcewell for the purchase of two Nissan Frontiers totaling $68,432.54. After checking local inventory for the same units, Nissan of Bakersfield came in lower than the Sourcewell price - $67,604.78, which falls within the budget appropriation for Capital Improvement Project No. 27006.

Fiscal Impact:

Funding for the acquisition of these trucks will come from CIP No. 27006.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager
Maria O. Martinez, Administrative Manager

DATE: July 7, 2026

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving the 2026 Title VI Compliance Plan for the City of Wasco Dial-a-Ride.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution Approving the 202 6 Title VI Compliance Plan for the City of Wasco Dial-a-Ride; and

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 City is required to update its Title VI Compliance Plan every three years and submit the revision to the State. The plan was last updated in September 2023 (Attachment 1).

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs and activities receiving federal assistance. Specifically, Title VI provides that “no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be de nied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under an y program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance” (42 U.S.C. 2000d).

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

97 of 214
Wasco Dial-A-Ride is committed to ensuring that no person is excluded from participation in, or denied the benefits of, its transit services based on race, color, or national origin, as protected by Title VI of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Circular 4702.1.A.

Staff has completed the periodic update of the City’s Title VI program. This update focuses on required elements under 49 CFR Part 21, excluding equity analyses that are no longer required under the regulation.

Staff updated the program’s summary of public outreach activities conducted in the last three years. Updated the Census data with the most recent U.S, Census and American Community Survey data available. These data updates ensure that the City’s demographic profile remains accurate and aligned with federal reporting expectations.

Staff completed a revised Four -Factor Analysis to evaluate the City’s obligations for providing language assistance to LEP individuals.

Equity analyses previously included in the Title VI Program have been removed. Based on current federal guidance, equity analyses are no longer required under 49 CFR Part 21, and staff has updated the document accordingly to reflect only the analyses mandated by regulation.

Staff has sent the d raft Title VI Plan to the Office of Civil Rights for a preliminary review.

The Office of Civil Rights contacted staff on June 23, 2026, indicating that the preliminary review was complete and that the plan met all requirements.

21 Appendix J
Language Assistance Plan
SECTION 1
Introduction
This Language Assistance Plan has been prepared to address Wasco Dial-A-Ride’s responsibilities as a recipient of federal financial assistance as they relate to the needs of individuals with limited English proficien cy language skills. The plan has been prepared in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. 2000d, et seq., and it is implementing regulations stating that no person shall be subjected to discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin.

Executive Order 13166, titled Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency, indicates that differing treatment based upon a person’s inability to speak, read, write, or understand English is a type of nati onal origin discrimination. It directs each agency to publish guidance for its recipients , clarifying their obligation to ensure that such discrimination does not occur. This order applies to all state and local agencies that receive federal funds, including Wasco Dial-A-Ride.

Safe Harbor Provision
The City of Wasco Dial A Ride will comply with the Safe Harbor Provision, which outlines circumstances that can provide a “safe harbor” for recipients regarding the translation of written materials for LEP populations. The Safe Harbor Provision stipulates that if a recipient provides a written translation of vital documents for each eligible LEP language group that constitutes five percent (5%) or 1,000 persons, whichever is less, of the total population of persons eligible to be served or likely to be affected or encountered, then such action will be considered strong evidence of compliance with the recipient’s written translation obligations.

Translation of non-vital documents, if needed, can be provided orally. If there are fewer than 50 persons in a language group that reaches the five percent (5%) trigger, the recipient is not required to translate vital written materials but should provide written notice in the primary language of the LEP language group of the right to receive competent oral interpretation of those written materials, free of cost.

These safe harbor provisions apply to the translation of written documents only.

They do not affect the requirement to provide meaningful access to LEP individuals through competent oral interpreters where oral language services are needed and are reasonable. A recipient may determine, based on the Four- DocuSign Envelope ID: B2D36EF8-C04D-477F-B519-B462A95B77A2 120 of 214
City of Wasco Title VI Plan for 2023 -2026

22 Factor Analysis, that even though a language group meets the threshold specified by the Safe Harbor Provision, written translation may not be an effective means to provide language assistance measures. For example, a recipient may determine that a large number of persons in that language group have low literacy skills in their native language and, therefore, require oral interpretation. In such cases, background documentation regarding the determination shall be provided to FTA in the Title VI Program."

Background:

The City’s Administration administers Wasco’s Dial -A-Ride services to in -house employees. The City of Wasco City Council is the policy -making body of the system. The city’s Dial -A-Ride services operate weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., providing servic e throughout the City limits areas identified by service are zones.

Plan Summary:

The City of Wasco Dial -A-Ride has developed this Language Assistance Plan to help identify reasonable steps for providing language assistance to persons with limited Englis h proficiency (LEP) who wish to access the services provided. As defined in Executive Order 13166, LEP persons are those who do not speak English as their primary language and have limited ability to read, speak, write, or understand English. This plan out lines how to identify a person who may need language assistance, the ways in which assistance may be provided, staff training that may be required, and how to notify LEP persons that assistance is available.

In order to prepare this plan, Wasco Dial-A-Ride used the four-factor LEP analysis, which considers the following factors:

1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served by or are likely to require Wasco Dial-A-Ride services.

2. The frequency with which LEP persons come in contact with Wasco Dial-A- Ride services.

3. The nature and importance of services provided by Wasco Dial -A-Ride to the LEP population.

4. The resources available to Wasco Dial -A-Ride and the overall cost to provide LEP assistance.

The following section summarizes the results of the four-factor analysis.

2. The frequency with which LEP persons come in contact with Wasco Dial-A- Ride services.

Wasco Dial -A-Ride staff reviewed the frequency with which office staff, dispatchers, and bus drivers could have contact with LEP persons. The bus drivers, dispatchers, and office staff are in regular contact with LEP persons, of which the majority are Spanish -speaking individuals, and transit information is available in Spanish, such as service information flyers and public hearing notices.

The transit dispatchers, office staff, and bus drivers are certified Bilingual Spanish- speaking personnel and participate in conducting bilingual community outreach “pop-up booth” style at local community events such as the Rose Festival, 4th of July, and Christmas Parade. The city will conduct an onboarding survey before 2026 to identify if any changes need to be made.

3. The nature and importance of services provided by Wasco Dial -A-Ride to the LEP population.

Wasco Dial -A-Ride places a high priority on providing safe, convenient, and reliable service. Service is monitored regularly to allow staff to evaluate Dial -A- Ride performance and to determine the need for service expansion or contraction based on ridership demand and effectiveness. There is a large geographic concentration of LEP individuals in th e service area for Wasco Dial - A-Ride. The overwhelming majority of the population, nearly 69 percent, speaks Spanish.

4. The resources available to Wasco Dial -A-Ride and the overall cost to provide LEP assistance.

Wasco Dial-A-Ride assessed its available resources that are currently being used and those that could be used to provide language assistance. Notwithstanding the size and scope of the public transit services and limited staffing resources, Wasco Dial-A-Ride provides reasonable services for LEP persons upon request.

City of Wasco Title VI Plan for 2023 -2026

25 Wasco Dial -A-Ride will continue its efforts to collaborate with other local, regional, and state agencies to provide language translation and interpretation services when practical and in consideration of available funding.

SECTION 3
Language Assistance
A person who does not speak English as their primary language and has a limited ability to read, write, speak, or understand English may be a person with limited English proficiency and may be entitled to language assistance concerning Wasco Dial-A-Ride services. Language assistance can include interpretation, which means an oral or spoken transfer of a message from one language into another, and/or translation, which means the written transfer of a message from one language into another.

How Wasco Dial-A-Ride staff may identify an LEP person who needs language assistance:
 Staff will post notice of the LEP Plan and the availability of interpretation or translation services free of charge in languages LEP persons would understand.
 All Wasco Dial-A-Ride staff will be provided with “I Speak” cards to assist in identifying the language interpretation needed if the occasion arises.  The Google Translate online translation tool will be available on the City of Wasco website.
 All Wasco Dial-A-Ride staff will be informally surveyed periodically on their experiences concerning any contacts with LEP persons during the previous year.
 When Wasco Dial -A-Ride sponsors an informational meeting or event, advance public notice of the event should be published, including special needs related to offering a translator (LEP) or interpreter (sign language for hearing-impaired individuals). Additionally, a staff person may greet participants as they arrive. By informally engaging participants in conversation, it is possible to gauge each attendee’s ability to speak and understand English. Although the translation may not be able to be provided at the event, it will help identify the need for future events.

 When an interpreter is needed, in person or on the telephone, and Wasco Dial-A-Ride staff has exhausted the above options, staff will first attempt to determine what language is required. Staff will use the telephone interpreter service—Language Line Services

Staff Training
All City of Wasco staff involved in the administration and operation of Wasco Dial- A-Ride will be provided with the LEP Plan and educated on the following procedures.

SECTION 5
Translation of Documents
The City of Wasco web site https://www.cityofwasco.org/196/Dial-A-Ride has a Google Translate application embedded in the lower right -hand corner of the page, which can translate content into Spanish. In addition, for further LEP outreach, Wasco Dial-A-Ride will consider the following options:
 When staff prepares a document or schedules a meeting for which the target audience is expected to include LEP individu als, then documents, meeting notices, flyers, and agendas will be printed in Spanish or any other alternative language based on the known LEP population.  When running a general public meeting notice, staff will state that a translator will be available in Spanish or another language as necessary.

The included clause will be similar to: “A ( insert alternative language ) translator will be available.” For example: “Un traductor de español estará disponible” or “A Spanish translator Will be available”.  In addi tion to the existing Spanish language translations of key print materials, Wasco Dial -A-Ride will translate brochures and notices in languages otherwise determined to be necessary and will make these available at the Wasco City offices and onboard vehicles.

SECTION 6
Monitoring and Updating the LEP
Wasco Dial-A-Ride will update the LEP Plan as required. At a minimum, the plan will be updated according to the Title VI Program update schedule of submission every three years.

15 APPENDIX H
Public Participation Plan

PLAN:

The following activities are intended to serve as guidelines for outreach to ensure existing and future Wasco Dial-a-Ride riders are provided with equal access and opportunity to participate in transit and transportation planning. • Notice for public events may include posters, email push notifications, notices posted to the city website, and published notices to local newspapers as funding allows. Notices will be posted at least one week prior to the public event.
• Notices may be posted at City Hall, onboard Dial a Ride vehicles. • Whenever possible. Information regarding public participation opportunities will also be posted on the City of Wasco website at least two weeks prior to the event.
• Comments will be accepted at public outreach events and via email, mail, and phone to ensure that all populations have the opportunity to participate.

OUTREACH METHODS FOR ENGAGING MINORITY AND LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENT POPULATIONS:
• Notices will be made bilingual, or Spanish-language notices will be developed and posted alongside English notices.
• Spanish-language notices will be posted on all revenue vehicles and at locations that have been identified as key destinations of LEP populations if such information exists.
• Event information on the Dial a Ride website will be posted in English and Spanish.
• The City will make event information available to community groups and agencies that work with LEP populations if such contacts exist. • As identified in its Language Assistance Plan, Spanish is the only non-English Language residents commonly speak. Additionally, as reported by the City, nearly all transit staff are fluent in Spanish. As such, existing staff can adequately meet the needs of LEP populations within the Wasco Dial-a-Ride system’s service area.
• Spanish interpretation or translation at any public meetings or workshop will be provided by City staff as possible.
• When deemed appropriate or necessary, the City will ensure that non-English language interpretation is available.

For any major service change or any fare increase as defined above, the City of Wasco will schedule a public hearing to present the proposed change(s) and obtain public comments. The primary source of service and fare changes will be the Wasco Dial-A- Ride Service Policies & Procedures Manual, and its approval will fulfill these requirements. The public hearing will be scheduled at a time and place accessible and convenient for the general public to attend (see Figure 1 for an example). Legal notice of the public hearing will be published in a local newspaper of general distribution at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the public hearing.

A staff person will record and prepare formal minutes of the public hearing. In addition, written or verbal comments will be accepted for at least one week following the public hearing.

Comments will be evaluated and incorporated into the recommendation and decision regarding the fare increase or service change.

17 SUMMARY OF OUTREACH EFFORTS:

The City of Wasco maintains ongoing and responsive community outreach efforts to ensure the Dial-A- Ride system is accessible, equitable, and reflective of the needs of all residents, including minority, low -income, senior, and limited English proficient populations. Outreach activities occur on a recurring basis throughout the year, as well as on an as -needed basis when service changes, public feedback, or community conditions require additional engagement. Recurring Outreach Effort:

Recurring outreach focuses on building and sustaining long-term relationships with local organizations, community groups, social service agencies, schools, and neighborhood leaders. These partnerships help the City stay informed about emerging mobility needs, barriers to access, and opportunities to improve service equity. Regular engagement also supports near -term goals such as increasing ridership, raising awareness of Dial-A- Ride services, and promoting enhancements to service provision.As-Needed Outreach Efforts:

As-needed outreach is conducted when service modifications, policy updates, or Title VI-related actions require direct communication with the public. This may include distributing bilingual informational materials, attending community meetings, coordinating with partner agencies, or gathering public input through surveys and stakeholder discussions.Through these combined efforts, the City of Wasco ensures that all community members, regardless of race, color, national origin, income level, age, or ability, have meaningful access to information about Dial-A-Ride services and opportunities to participate in transportation decision-making.

Community Event Outreach Efforts (Past Three Years)Over the past three years, the City of Wasco has actively participated in a wide range of community events to promote the Dial -A-Ride service, share Title VI information, and engage directly with residents. These outreach efforts ensure that community members including seniors, youth, low -income households, minority populations, and individuals with limited English proficiency are aware of available transportation services and have opportunities to provide feedback.

The following events represent key outreach activities conducted during this period:
• Fourth of July Celebration Staff provided service information, distributed bilingual materials, and engaged with families and community members attending the citywide event.

21 Appendix J
Language Assistance Plan
SECTION 1
Introduction
This Language Assistance Plan has been prepared to address Wasco Dial-A-Ride’s responsibilities as a recipient of federal financial assistance as they relate to the needs of individuals with limited English proficiency language skills. The plan has been prepared in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. 2000d, et seq., and it is implementing regulations stating that no person shall be subjected to discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin.

Executive Order 13166, titled Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency, indicates that differing treatment based upon a person’s inability to speak, read, write, or understand English is a type of national origin discrimination. It directs each agency to publish guidance for its recipients , clarifying their obligation to ensure that such discrimination does not occur. This order applies to all state and local agencies that receive federal funds, including Wasco Dial-A-Ride.

These safe harbor provisions apply to the translation of written documents only.

They do not affect the requirement to provide meaningful access to LEP 151 of 214
City of Wasco Title VI Plan for 2026 -2029

22 individuals through competent oral interpreters where oral language services are needed and are reasonable. A recipient may determine, based on the Four - Factor Analysis, that even though a language group meets the threshold specified by the Safe Harbor Provision, written translation may not be an effective means to provide language assistance measures. For example, a recipient may determine that a large number of persons in that language group have low literacy skills in their native language and, therefore, require oral interpretation. In such cases, background documentation regarding the determination shall be provided to FTA in the Title VI Program."

Background:

The City’s Administration administers Wasco’s Dial-A- Ride services to in- house employees. The City of Wasco City Council is the policy -making body of the system. The city’s Dial-A- Ride services operate weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., providing service throughout the City limit areas identified by service are zones.

Plan Summary:

The City of Wasco Dial-A- Ride has developed this Language Assistance Plan to help identify reasonable steps for providing language assistance to persons with limited English proficiency (LEP) who wish to access the services provided. As defined in Executive Order 13166, LEP persons are those who do not speak English as their primary language and have limited ability to read, speak, write, or understand English. This plan outlines how to identify a person who may need language assistance, the ways in which assistance may be provided, staff training that may be required, and how to notify LEP persons that assistance is available.

In order to prepare this plan, Wasco Dial-A-Ride used the four-factor LEP analysis, which considers the following factors:

1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served by or are likely to require Wasco Dial-A-Ride services.

2. The frequency with which LEP persons come in contact with Wasco Dial-A- Ride services.

3. The nature and importance of services provided by Wasco Dial-A- Ride to the LEP population.

4. The resources available to Wasco Dial -A-Ride and the overall cost to provide LEP assistance.

The following section summarizes the results of the four-factor analysis. 152 of 214

Meaningful Access: Four-Factor Analysis

1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served by or are likely to require Wasco Dial-A-Ride services.

The City reviewed the 2024 American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates:

Language Spoken at Home and the 2020 US Census. Based on the 2020 US Census, Wasco’s population was 28,182, up 10.32 percent from the 2010 US Census. The city covers a 9.43-square-mile area.

According to the 2024 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, about 68.2 percent of Wasco residents ages five (5) and older speak a language other than English, and 31.8 percent speak only English. Spanish is spoken by nearly 6 8 percent of Wasco residents aged five (5) and older. A summary of the language data is presented in the table below.

3. The nature and importance of services provided by Wasco Dial-A-Ride to the LEP population.

Wasco Dial -A-Ride places a high priority on providing safe, convenient, and reliable service. Service is monitored regularly to allow staff to evaluate Dial-A- Ride performance and to determine the need for service expansion or contraction based on ridership demand and effectiveness. There is a large geographic concentration of LEP individuals in the service area for Wasco Dial- A-Ride. The overwhelming majority of the population, nearly 6 8 percent, speaks Spanish.

4. The resources available to Wasco Dial -A-Ride and the overall cost to provide LEP assistance.

Wasco Dial -A-Ride will continue its efforts to collaborate with other local, regional, and state agencies to provide language translation and interpretation services when practical and in consideration of available funding.

SECTION 3
Language Assistance
A person who does not speak English as their primary language and has a limited ability to read, write, speak, or understand English may be a person with limited English proficiency and may be entitled to language assistance concerning Wasco Dial -A-Ride services. Language assistance can include interpretation, which means an oral or spoken transfer of a message from one language into another, and/or translation, which means the written transfer of a message from one language into another.

How Wasco Dial -A-Ride staff may identify an LEP person who needs language assistance:
155 of 214
City of Wasco Title VI Plan for 2026 -2029

26 • Staff will post notice of the LEP Plan and the availability of interpretation or translation services free of charge in languages LEP persons would understand.
• All Wasco Dial-A-Ride staff will be provided with “I Speak” cards to assist in identifying the language interpretation needed if the occasion arises. • The Google Translate online translation tool will be available on the City of Wasco website.
• All Wasco Dial-A-Ride staff will be informally surveyed periodically on their experiences concerning any contacts with LEP persons during the previous year.
• When Wasco Dial-A- Ride sponsors an informational meeting or event, advance public notice of the event should be published, including special needs related to offering a translator (LEP) or interpreter (sign language for hearing-impaired individuals). Additionally, a staff person may greet participants as they arrive. By informally engaging participants in conversation, it is possible to gauge each attendee’s ability to speak and understand English. Although the translation may not be able to be provided at the event, it will help identify the need for future events.

• When an interpreter is needed, in person or on the telephone, and Wasco Dial-A-Ride staff has exhausted the above options, staff will first attempt to determine what language is required. Staff will use the telephone interpreter service—Language Line Services
http://www.languageline.com/

SECTION 4
Staff Training
All City of Wasco staff involved in the administration and operation of Wasco Dial- A-Ride will be provided with the LEP Plan and educated on the following procedures. This information will also be part of the staff orientation process for new hires. The following information will be provided to all staff:
• Information on the Title VI Policy and LEP responsibilities • Description of the language assistance services the City of Wasco offers to the public
• Use of “I Speak” cards
• How to access the Google Translate online translation tool via the City of Wasco website
• Documentation of language assistance requests
• How to handle a Title VI and/or LEP complaint

27 SECTION 5
Translation of Documents
The City of Wasco web site https://www.cityofwasco.org/196/Dial-A-Ride has a Google Translate application embedded in the lower right -hand corner of the page, which can translate content into Spanish. In addition, for further LEP outreach, Wasco Dial-A-Ride will consider the following options:
• When staff prepares a document or schedules a meeting for which the target audience is expected to include LEP individuals, then documents, meeting notices, flyers, and agendas will be printed in Spanish or any other alternative language based on the known LEP population. • When running a general public meeting notice, staff will state that a translator will be available in Spanish or another language as necessary.

The included clause will be similar to: “A ( insert alternative language) translator will be available.” For example: “Un traductor de español estará disponible” or “A Spanish translator will be available”. • In addition to the existing Spanish language translations of key print materials, Wasco Dial-A- Ride will translate brochures and notices in languages otherwise determined to be necessary and will make these available at the Wasco City offices and onboard vehicles.

Each update of the LEP Plan will include the following:
• The number of documented LEP person contacts encountered annually. • How the needs of LEP persons have been addressed.
• Determination of the current LEP population in the service area. • Determination as to whether the need for translation services has changed • Determination as to whether local language assistance programs have been effective and sufficient to meet the need.
• Determination of whether Wasco Dial-A- Ride’s financial resources are sufficient to fund the language assistance resources needed. • Determination as to whether Wasco Dial-A- Ride fully complies with the goals of this LEP Plan.
• Determination of whether complaints have been received concerning the agency’s failure to meet the needs of LEP individuals.
• Maintenance of a Title VI complaint log, including LEP, to determine issues and the basis of complaints.

DATE: July 7, 2026

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Sign a Letter Authorizing the County of Kern as the Lead Agency to Submit to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) a Regional Application for the Used Oil Payment Program (OPP) Fiscal Year 2026-27 on its behalf.

Recommendation:

Staff Recommends that the City Council:
1) Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee to sign a letter authorizing the Count y of Kern as the lead agency to submit to CalRecycle a regional application for the used oil payment program for Fiscal Year 2026-27 on its behalf; and

2) Find that the Project qualifies as categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15308 (actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment) of the CEQA Guidelines; no environmental review is required.

Environmental Review:

Staff has reviewed and find the Project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) qualifies for a Class 8 categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15308 (actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment) of the CEQA Guidelines, which exempts actions taken regulatory agencies by state or local ordinance, to assure the ma intenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures and protections of the environment. Thus, no environmental review is required.

Background:

The City has historically opted into the regional application for the used oil payment program with the County of Kern.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

161 of 214
Discussion:

It is in the best interests of the City to authorize the County of Kern to be the lead agency and submit an application on the City of Wasco's behalf for funding to CalRecycle for the support and market used oil recycling centers within the City limits. The City has previously authorized the County and is required to do so annually.

Public Resources Code 48600 et seq. describes the California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act (Act), which, among other things, provides funding to assist local governments in developing and maintaining an ongoing used oil and used oil filter collection/recycling program for their communities. In 2009, Senate Bill 546 (Lowenthal, Chapter 353, Statutes of 2009) was enacted and made various changes to the Act, including changing the funding from a reimbursable grant program (formerly known as the Used Oil Block Grant Program [UBG]) to a payment program (referred to as the Used Oil Payment Program [OPP]). As the lead agency, the County manages and oversees the used oil recycling program. This program consists of the operation and oversight of certified used oil collection centers in Kern Unincorporated areas and within the participating jurisdictions.

The County a lso provides advertising and promotion for the program, submits required reports to the State, and covers other administrative responsibilities. The County has larger staffing resources and capacity than the City to monitor and implement the used oil recycling program; therefore , staff recommends that the City opt into the regional application as it has historically done.

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Wasco has limited staffing capacity and historically opts into the regional application for the Used Oil Payment Program with the County of Kern; and

WHEREAS, Public Resources Code 48600 et seq. describes the California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act (Act), which provides for, among other things, funding to assist local governments in developing and maintaining an ongoing used oil and used oil filter collection/recycling program for their communities; and

WHEREAS, the County of Kern acts as the lead agency and oversees the used oil recycling program; and

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

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

DATE: July 7, 2026

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Execute a Purchase Order for the repairs of Centrifuge No. 1 with GEA Mechanical Equipment US, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $130,000.00.

Recommendation:

Staff Recommends that the City Council:

1. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute a purchase for the repairs of Centrifuge No. 1 with GEA Mechanical Equipment US, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $130,000.00; 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). 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 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:

One of the critical processes in wastewater treatment is the dewatering and disposal of biosolids. Biosolids are produced when wastewater enters a wastewater treatment facility and passes through sedimentation processes that separate water from sludge.

Although the solids are separated from the water and treated, further drying/dewatering is still required before we can dispose of them . The City currently relies on mechanical dewatering by centrifuges 1 and 2, and as a secondary option, solids are air-dried during the warm months to save on centrifuge run time and associated costs. As part of CIP NO. 25008, the council previously approved the first phase of this work, to break down and assess Centrifuge No. 1.

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

167 of 214
Discussion:

GEA, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for the City's current centrifuges and the authorized service provider for GEA Separator units , disassembled and assessed Centrifuge No. 1. Upon assessment of the centrifuge and its internal components, it is recommended to replace the centrifuge gear and other worn-down parts as detailed in the attached quotes.

The cost of the replacement parts and labor was quoted by GEA Mechanical Equipment, totaling an amount of $108,471.81, which falls within the budget constraints of CIP No. 25008. To add the contingencies needed for projects like these, staff is requesting a budget transfer from Wastewater reserves to cover any cost changes.

Fiscal Impact:

As part of Capital Improvement Project 25008, funds have been allocated for this request.

A budget transfer of $20,000.00 from Wastewater Enterprise reserve funds is being requested to cover potential cost changes.

Key Insights

Ongoing outreach remains strong. We have continued with our weekly street outreach efforts. Every individual continues to receive consistent follow-ups, ensuring no one is left without engagement even as overall numbers shift.

The numbers highlight meaningful progress and steady engagement. Lower overall totals do not reflect disengagement. Instead, they represent ongoing follow-up efforts and continued outreach as we work toward stability and long-term solutions.

Point in Time Count Numbers
The annual Point in Time Count happened early morning on Wednesday January 28. For the first time in many years, City Staff participated in the count. Three City staff members participated in the count each joining a different survey team. There were 4 total survey teams each given a different quadrant of the City to survey. By City Staff estimates, the total face to face count on that day should have been approximately 16 individuals. While this represents an increase of 4 over last year, that was somewhat expected since our staff participated and they have direct knowledge of where our unhoused individuals typically stay.

However, our actual 2026 unsheltered count number reported by the Bakersfield Kern Regional Homeless Collaborative came in significantly higher than anticipated at 25 (see table below). This is more than double our 2025 numbers and did not seem accurate to 178 of 214
Staff especially after having participated in the actual count. Staff questioned this number and was able to review the raw data. After reviewing the raw data, it was determined that there was an error of at least 7 and BKRHC agreed to revise the number to 18. City Staff will continue to participate in the annual Wasco PIT Count and will always advocate for accuracy and transparency in the process.

The complete PIT count summary report can be read here… https://bkrhc.org/2026-point- in-time-count-summary-report/

Team effectiveness.

The Homeless Outreach Coordination and Task Force team continue to make it a priority to provide coordinated services, connecting with individuals and maintaining regular contact that leads to service acceptance. One of our top goals remains prioritizing communication between organizations and agencies serving our local unhoused population to ensure services are not duplicated and our approach is cohesive.

Our team continues to be effective at assisting those who are passing through Wasco or have been stranded here for one reason or another at reaching their final destination or reuniting with family.

Client progress
The monthly reported figures include both new and repeat clients. As expected, progress for our clients is often slow and fraught with setbacks. Our program is small enough to treat each client served as an individual and it remains important to the program to tailor the services offered to the needs of each individual. This has helped build trust over time and we continue to be a regular, weekly presence in our client’s lives.

Continued Challenges
Some of our chronically homeless individuals continue to be resistant to services. Many of them have places to go or family/friends in Wasco who contribute to their basic needs and there is little incentive for them to make major lifestyle changes.

Drug abuse and mental health concerns continue to be a primary contributing factor for homeless individuals in Wasco. Most of our chronically service resistant individuals would have a place to live if substance abuse and mental health disorders were not a factor and most if not all have been offered and refused or walked away from shelter beds and/or residential treatment programs.

We continue to offer services to our chronic individuals on a weekly basis but are also working closely with Code Compliance and Wasco PD to assist with trespassing individuals from properties they should not be camped on and to clean up any messes left behind or abandoned personal property quickly.

180 of 214

Total Individuals Served Since Program Inception

These numbers and categories should be interpreted loosely as many of our clients shift between categories somewhat regularly. The yellow “unsheltered clients” category roughly represents the total number of service resistant clients we work with in any given week.

Conclusion
The program continues to be successful in terms of matching willing participants with services and making continued contact and building trust with those not yet willing. We regularly receive feedback from other agencies and service providers that what we are doing is unique in the world of homeless outreach and assistance. We remain focused on forward progress for our clients.

Community Development Department
Quarterly Development Report
July 2026

As a general reminder, the City does not own commercial property, build commercial projects or decide which companies or national retailers get to locate here. The City acts as both a regulator and facilitator for companies and businesses who want to locate in Wasco because they believe based on market research that they will be successful here. The development process is multi-faceted and complicated, and the City is just one player in the process.

The projects shown below are listed by their current phase in the development process as follows:

1. Planning approval only – These projects have general land use and site plan approval. They may or may not proceed in to the next phase of development.

2. Plan Check – These projects have submitted construction plans for plan check. These projects are more likely to move on to construction but that is not always the case. There is still the possibility that the developer tables the project for any number of reasons.

3. Under Construction or Fully Permitted – These projects are moving forward with approved plans and the City conducts inspections to ensure that the project is being built in accordance with the approved plans. The speed at which a project is completed varies greatly and is dependent on a number of factors.

4. Recently Completed Projects – These projects receive a final inspection and certificate of occupancy from the City and are ready for a ribbon cutting if requested by the developer.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

Tracy Blakemore, Finance Manager
Rocio Mosqueda, Accounting Manager
Nancy Vera, Human Resources Manager

DATE: July 7, 2026

SUBJECT: Conduct a Public Hearing and Reporting on City of Wasco Vacancies, Recruitment, and Retention Efforts to Comply with Assembly Bill 2561. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) Conduct a public hearing and receive and file this report on Vacancies, Recruitment, and Retention Efforts to comply with Assembly Bill 2561; and

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 indirec t 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.

Background:

Assembly Bill 2561 (AB 2561) amended the Meyers -Milias-Brown Act by adding Government Code Section 3502.3, which requires local public agencies to enhance transparency and accountability in public sector staffing. The full text of the bill is available at AB 2561 Bill Text . The purpose of AB 2561 is to address growing concerns over staffing shortages in public agencies, which can lead to increased workloads, employee burnout, lower morale, and reduced service delivery to citizens. To mitigate these impacts, the law requires agencies to:

• Report annually on vacancies, recruitment activity, and retention strategies; • Identify any policies or practices that may hinder hiring or retention; 184 of 214
• Provide recognized bargaining groups with an opportunity to present during the public hearing; and
• If any bargaining group vacancy rate reaches or exceeds 20% of authorized positions, provide additional data upon request, including applicant volume, hiring timelines, and efforts to improve compensation, benefits, and working conditions.

Recognized bargaining groups include the Wasco Police Officers Association (WPOA) and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Local 521.

As of June 16, 2026, the City of Wasco has 124 full-time equivalent (FTE) budgeted positions of the 125 FTE’s. No bargaining group currently meets or exceeds the 20% vacancy threshold that would trigger enhanced reporting under AB 2561. The City’s overall vacancy rate is currently 8.8%, which is considered low.

Vacancy rates are calculated as follows: Vacancy Rate (%) = (Number of Vacant Positions in employee group/Total Number of Authorized Positions) = 8.8%.

The following table summarizes the City’s vacancy rate by employee group as of 06/16/2026:

Employee Group City’s Vacancy
Rate
Number of
Vacancies
Number of FTE in
Bargaining Group
WPOA 6.5% 2 31
SEIU 10.6% 7 66
City-wide 8.8% 11 125

Recruitment Activity
Vacancies within the City arise from a range of factors, including retirements, internal promotions, resignations, and terminations. In 2025, the City filled 12 full-time positions and hired _2_ part-time employees. Human Resources staff reviewed over 524 applications for full-time positions and _83 for part-time positions, demonstrating consistent interest in City employment opportunities.

However, a high volume of applications does not always indicate a strong pool of qualified candidates. The City often receives applications from individuals who do not meet minimum qualifications. Additionally, some qualified candidates choose not to proce ed in the recruitment process due to compensation levels that do not align with their expectations , competing opportunities, or desired lifestyle.

Employee Separations
In 2026, 17 full-time equivalent employees separated from the City of Wasco. The reasons for departure were as follows:
• Retirement
• Resignation
• Termination
These separation figures reflect the number of staff who retired, resigned, or terminated during the 2025 calendar year.

Employee Retention
Employee retention remains a central focus of the City’s workforce strategy. In 202 5, the City implemented several initiatives aimed at improving employee satisfaction, promoting longevity, and enhancing professional growth. These efforts include:

185 of 214
• Approving Additional Internal Promotion opportunities. • Working with our Bargaining Unions to negotiate fair and sustainable Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) increases.
• The implementation of the Additional Payment Factor (APF).

City data indicates that employees with shorter tenures are more likely to leave within their first few years of service. This reinforces the importance of robust onboarding and meaningful engagement strategies to support employee retention and long-term success.

Organizational Self-Assessment
As part of its workforce planning and in alignment with AB2561, the City continues to assess internal practices and workforce conditions to identify and address recruitment and retention challenges. Current areas of focus include:
• Exploring alternative advertising methods and platforms, particularly for hard -to-fill positions such as Police Officers, Dispatchers, etc.
• Ensuring that compensation and benefits remain competitive within the region; • Reviewing recruitment best practices and improving the onboarding experience.

This ongoing self -assessment helps position the City as an employer of choice, supports organizational resilience, and ensures the effective delivery of public services.

The City of Wasco is committed to maintaining a skilled and resilient workforce and complying with the requirements of Assembly Bill 2561. This report and public hearing fulfill the requirements of AB2561 and confirm that all bargaining groups are below the 20% vacancy threshold. While vacancy levels remain below the threshold for enhanced reporting, the City will continue to monitor staffing trends, address recruitment challenges, and invest in workforce development.

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF WASCO

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager
Tracy Blakemore, Finance Director

DATE: July 07, 2026

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution reaffirming Resolution No. 202 6-4339, Approving the City’s Fiscal Year 202 6–2027 Annual Operating Budget and the Five -Year 2025–2030 Capital Improvement Program in Compliance with AB 2561 Vacancy Reporting Requirements.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution reaffirming Resolution No. 2026-4339, Approving the City’s Fiscal Year 2025–2026 Annual Operating Budget and the Five -Year 202 7–2031 Capital Improvement Program in Compliance with AB 2561 Vacancy Reporting Requirements

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

Environmental Review:

Background
On June 16, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2026-4339, approving the Fiscal Year 2026–27 Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budget. After the adoption of the budget, staff identified a requirement under Assembly Bill 2561 (AB 2561), that creates additional legal requirements for public agencies under the Meyers -Milias-Brown Act (MMBA), including the City of Wasco.

Effective January 1, 2025, AB 2561 (Government Code Section 3502.3) requires public agencies to have a presentation of vacancy-related data and an analysis of recruitment efforts at a public hearing held prior to the adoption of any annual or multiyear budget. 190 of 214
Although notice of the public hearing and preparation of the reports were completed, the presentation was not scheduled prior to the June 1 6 budget adoption process, which means corrective action is now necessary to bring the City into compliance with this law.

To ensure legal compliance, the City Clerk has published notice of a public hearing, and the Human Resources Department and Finance Department has presented the required information to the City Council in a staff report . Following the public hearing, the City Council is now asked to re-adopt the FY 2026–27 Budget in accordance with state law.

Discussion:

To comply with AB 2561, the City of Wasco must implement the following steps:

General Compliance Requirements (Applies to All Agencies).

1. Track all job vacancies within the organization.

2. Present vacancy-related information at a public hearing before the City Council at least once per fiscal year and prior to the adoption of the annual or multiyear budget.

3. Include the following information in the public hearing presentation:
a. Number of posted job openings.
b. Number of candidates interviewed.
c. Eligibility lists created.
d. Conditional offers extended.
e. Overview of recruitment and retention efforts.

4. Identify any policies, procedures, or recruitment activities that may be creating obstacles in the hiring process.

5. Discuss potential changes or strategies to remove those obstacles and improve recruitment success.

Additional Requirements if a Bargaining Unit’s Vacancy Rate Exceeds 20% (Wasco’s vacancy rate(s) do not exceed 20%)
If requested by a recognized employee organization, the City must also present:

1. The total number of job vacancies within the bargaining unit.

2. The total number of applicants for those vacant positions.

3. The average number of days to complete the hiring process from job posting to offer.

4. Opportunities to improve compensation and other working conditions that could support recruitment and retention.

Revisiting the FY 202 6–27 Budget and conducting the required public hearing ensure full compliance with AB 2561, promote transparency, and support Wasco’s ongoing commitment to sound labor relations and responsible governance.

Next Steps:

Following the public hearing, staff will bring forward a resolution for the re-adoption of the Fiscal Year 2026–27 Operating Budget and the 2027–2031 Capital Improvement Program.

This action ensures compliance with state law and affirms the City’s commitment to transparency and responsible fiscal management.

Upon Council re -adoption, staff will continue to work on finalizing the adopted budget documents to departments, and both the Operating and Capital Budget books will be published on the City’s website for public access.

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF WASCO

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager
Tracy Blakemore, Finance Director

DATE: July 7, 2026

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution approving the City’s Appropriations Limit for the Fiscal Year 2026-2027.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council:

1) Adopt a Resolution approving the City’s Appropriations Limit for the Fiscal Year 2026-2027; and

Environmental Review:

Discussion:

Overview
Under the Gann Spending -Limitation Initiative (Article XIII B of the State Constitution) adopted as Proposition 4 in June 1979 and subsequently modified by Proposition 111 in June 1990), the City is required to annually adopt a resolution setting the A ppropriations Limit for the upcoming fiscal year. For 2026-27, the City’s Appropriations Limit is $35.8 million.

For comparison, 2026-27 appropriations subject to the limit are $5.9 million, which is $29.9 million less than the calculated Appropriations Limit.

Background and Key Concepts
The Gann Spending -Limitation Initiative provides for the limitation of state and local government appropriations. As discussed in the following summary of the major provisions 196 of 214
of the Gann Initiative and subsequent Proposition 111 modifications, the Gann Initiative is actually a limitation on tax revenues rather than a direct limitation on appropriations.

Key concepts include:

1. Appropriations subject to limitation may not exceed appropriations made in 1978 -79 except as adjusted for increases in the cost of living, population, and service responsibility transfers.

2. Appropriations financed through service fees (to the degree that they do not exceed the cost of performing the service), franchise fees, grant programs, fines, and forfeitures and other specified “non- tax” sources are not subject to the A ppropriations Limit.

Additionally, appropriations for long-term indebtedness incurred prior to 1978-79, debt service on qualified capital outlays beginning in 1990 -91, qualified capital outlays in excess of $100,000 and increased costs as a result of federally mandated p rograms, are also excluded from the L imit. Essentially, with the exception s noted above, only appropriations funded through tax revenues are subject to limitation.

3. For the purpose of identifying “proceeds from taxes” under the Gann Initiative, state subventions that are unrestricted as to their use are considered to be tax sources. On the other hand, the use of subventions like gas tax and transportation development act funds are restricted by the State, and as such, are classified as non-tax sources.

4. Under the original Gann Initiative, all proceeds from taxes received in excess of the appropriations limit were required to be returned through refunds or revisions in tax rates and fee schedules within the next two fiscal years; or voter approval to increase the appropriations limit was required. Proposition 111 provides a one -year carryover feature to determine excess revenues under which refunds can be avoided if in the subsequent year the City is below the limit by the amount of the prior year excess. Any voter-approved increase to the appropriations limit cannot exceed four years.

5. Originally, the Gann Initiative was self-executing, requiring no formal review. However, Proposition 111 requires that the annual calculation be reviewed as part of the annual financial audit.

6. Other key concepts in implementing the Gann Initiative include: appropriations funded through tax sources are subject to the limit, not total expenditures ; and any excess of actual tax revenues over the A ppropriations Limit, not actual expenditures, or appropriations, are subject to refund.

Annual Adjustment Factors

The necessary statistical information to calculate the Limit is provided by the California Department of Finance. The annual adjustment factors for changes in population and cost of living for the appropriations limit calculation must be selected by a recorded vote of the Council, and include the following:

1. Population. Based on data provided annually by the State Department of Finance, cities may annually choose either the growth in their City’s or their County’s population.

Historically, the City has elected the City growth rate which came in at decrease in population by -.76%.

197 of 214

For consistency with prior years, staff recommends continuing to use the City's population growth factor in calculating the FY 2026 -27 Appropriations Limit. Although the County's population growth factor is 0.10% compared to the City's population factor of -0.76%, the City remains significantly below its constitutional appropriations limit. Therefore, maintaining a consistent methodology from year to year provides a more reliable and transparent calculation.

2. Cost of Living. Local governments may annually choose either the percentage change in California per capita personal income or the percentage change in their jurisdiction's assessed valuation that is attributable to non-residential new construction.

For this year’s calculation (as in past years), the percentage increase in California per capita personal income is the recommended adjustment factor.

Note: The City’s percentage change in assessed valuation attributable to non - residential new construction is not readily available. If at such that this becomes available and results in a significantly higher Limit, it can be adjusted at that time.

However, because the difference between the City’s Limit and appropriations subject to the limit is so large, this is unlikely to ever be necessary. 198 of 214
Calculation Summary

The City’s Appropriation Limit for 2026-27 is $35,830,483 calculated as follows:

The options highlighted in bold print are the recommended adjustment factors in determining the City’s Appropriations Limit for 2026-27.

Appropriations Subject to the Limit

Proceeds from taxes in the FY 2026 -27 Budget, as defined under the Gann Initiative, total $10,209,540. This is the base that determines proceeds from taxes (and thus appropriations subject to the limit), with two adjustments:

1. Allocated Interest Earnings. Generally accepted accounting principles in this case are to allocate interest earnings based on the ratio between tax and non-tax proceeds. As reflected in the attached spreadsheet, tax proceeds account for 63% of total General Fund revenues (excluding interest earnings); and accordingly, 63% of projected interest earnings ($947,564 of $1,500,000) are allocated to tax proceeds.

2. Exclusion of Capital Outlay in Excess of $100,000. As discussed above, Proposition 111 adopted in June 1990, made several administrative changes in the Appropriations Limit. Among these was the exclusion from the L imit of capital outlays in excess of $100,000. These total $5,230,383.

Accordingly, net tax proceeds subject to the Limit are $5,926,721 which is $29,903,762 less than the Limit of $35,830,483.

199 of 214
The following is a ten -year summary of the City’s Appropriations Limit compared with appropriations subject to the Limit.

As reflected in this chart, 202 6-27 reflects an ongoing trend of significant positive gaps between the Appropriations Limit versus appropriations subject to the Limit.

Fiscal Impact:

There are no adverse fiscal impact s resulting from adoption of the City’s 202 6-27 Appropriations Limit.

DATE: July 7, 2026

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Amended Salary Schedule for the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 in Compliance with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) Requirement for Publicly Available Pay Schedules.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution Approving the Amended Salary Schedule for the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 in Compliance with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) Requirement for Publicly Available Pay Schedules. 2) Find that this action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c) (3), no environmental review is required.

Environmental Review:

The staff has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA guidelines 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 Salary Schedule for Fiscal Year 2026 – 2027 was approved by the City Council during the regular scheduled meeting on June 16
