City Council Staff Report
Motion: Authorizing the Release of a Request for Proposals for the Preparation of a Wastewater System Rate and Fee Study.
SUMMARY:
Staff is seeking approval to release of a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the preparation of a Wastewater System Rate and Fee study. At the conclusion of the process, staff will return to City Council to award a professional service agreement to the most qualified firm.
ANALYSIS:
During the preparation of the Fiscal Year 2023/2024 budget, staff became concerned that the Wastewater budget was suffering from a lack of revenue necessary to support on-going operations and needed capital improvements. Further review identified that the last rate study was completed in 2018 and the last rate increase occurred in July of 2023. In an effort to meet operational demands and future capital investments, staff recommends Council approve the release of the RFP so staff can start the process of reviewing and, if needed, updating our Wastewater rates.
The Wastewater Rate and Fee study is intended to establish 5-year Wastewater rates that will achieve the following objectives:
• Ensure that the revenues generated by the utility rates are adequate to maintain operations at current service levels and account for anticipated expense increases to include increased staffing.
• Affirm the appropriateness of existing user classifications and/or develop new classifications as needed to achieve equity and clarity.
• Address the historical unfunded deferred maintenance of infrastructure by incorporating reasonable projections for facility replacement within the revenue requirements and rate calculations.
• Ensure that revenues are adequate to meet any future debt that may be needed to finance capital improvements.
• Establish policies with respect to adequate reserves for operations, rate stabilization, and capital improvements.
• Ensure that the proposed rates are in conformance with all applicable laws, including the provisions of Proposition 218.
FISCAL IMPACT:
It is anticipated that a rate study will cost between $30,000 and $40,000. Funding was included in account number 4350-700-7190 in the adopted Fiscal Year 2023/2024 budget. Once staff has evaluated the proposals, staff will return to City Council with a recommended firm and will identify the actual cost at that time.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The City finds and determines with certainty that retaining a firm to prepare a Wastewater Rate and Fee study is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), as the activity is covered under the general rule that CEQA applies to only projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the release of the RFP as proposed.
2. Approve the release of the RFP with certain requested modifications.
3. Not approve the release of the RFP. Staff does not recommend this action as staff has concerns for the long-term viability of the Wastewater fund.

2 INTRODUCTION
The City of Waterford is requesting proposals for a qualified utility rate consultant to conduct a comprehensive wastewater rate and fee study. The study shall follow accepted industry benchmarks and best practices. The study will include recommendations to update the City’s current wastewater utility rates.
The intent of the study is to independently assess and evaluate the City’s current wastewater rates and create a simple, equitable, and legal new rate structure to meet the financial needs of the City’s wastewater enterprise fund. The proposed rate structure must adequately fund the utility’s operating and capital improvement needs.
The study will be based on a comprehensive review of the City’s wastewater enterprise funds, historical statements of revenue and expense, current year budgets, customer counts and classes, historical usage data, planned future growth, and any other information deemed important. The results of the study and the resulting proposed rate structure shall provide the foundation for wastewater rates for the next five years. The rates and rate structures proposed must fully meet Proposition 218 and all other legal requirements.
BACKGROUND
The wastewater system serves the City of Waterford which includes approximately 2,400 service connections, serving a population of nearly 9,100 persons. Wastewater demands include residential, a small downtown and other commercial areas. The vast majority of wastewater is received from residential customers. The collection system is comprised of clay or polyvinyl chloride pipe varying in size from 6 inches to 12 inches. Wastewater is conveyed by gravity lines as well as force mains from 3 lift stations to the wastewater treatment plant for treatment through a series of 5 ponds. The current wastewater treatment plant has a 1 MGD capacity and currently treats an average flow of .552 MGD.
Treated wastewater is then pumped under the Tuolumne River to evaporation ponds.
The current wastewater rate schedule was put in place in 2018 and the last rate increase was implemented on July 1st, 2023. Currently, rates are fixed based on various units of measure for various uses. The existing rate structure can be found in Exhibit “A.” SUBMITTAL INSTRUCTIONS:

OBJECTIVES
The rate study to be prepared as part of this work effort is intended to establish 5-year wastewater utility rates that will achieve the following objectives:
• Ensure that the revenues generated by the utility rates are adequate to maintain operations at current service levels and account for anticipated expense increases to include increased staffing.
• Affirm the appropriateness of existing user classifications and/or develop new classifications as needed to achieve equity and clarity.
• Address the historical unfunded deferred maintenance of infrastructure by incorporating reasonable projections for facility replacement within the revenue requirements and rate calculations.
• Ensure that revenues are adequate to meet any future debt that may be needed to finance capital improvements.
• Establish policies with respect to adequate reserves for operations, rate stabilization, and capital improvements.
• Ensure that the proposed rates are in conformance with all applicable laws, including the provisions of Proposition 218.
SCOPE OF WORK
6 The City of Waterford understands this RFP may be inadequate to fully describe the work envisioned.
The information contained in this RFP is City of Waterford's best understanding of the current needs and how to address them, but City of Waterford will be relying on the consultant firm to provide modifications to the scope of work described herein based on their professional expertise in this subject area.
If the consultant believes there is a better way to achieve City of Waterford's goals, then that should be reflected in the proposal. Consultants should include additional tasks they deem appropriate, written reasons why a task should be included, and an estimate of the fee required to complete the task.
The Scope of Services involves all necessary analysis and documentation needed to perform the wastewater rate study. In general, the scope of work shall include the following:
1. Review Background Information: Review key information including but not limited to:
• Regulatory and contractual requirements;
• Operational and capital improvement needs;
• Historical revenues, usage, expenses, reserve policies, billing and collection procedures, rates and charges, and customer information;
• Wastewater Master Plans;
• Projected revenues, usage, expenses, reserve policies, billing and collection procedures, rates and charges, and customer information;
• Other pertinent data, as necessary.
2. Prepare a rate model which projects expenses, revenue requirements, and the resulting need for changes in utility rates for a period of at least 10 years. A rate schedule shall be developed that includes planned adjustments for the five-year period beginning FY 2024/2025.
3. The rate model shall be prepared and provided to the City in Excel spreadsheet format. The model’s construction shall be documented in a manner that allows the City to understand the formulas which are utilized, and how variables affect rate calculations. The City should be able to use the model in the future to evaluate actual performance against projections and to make adjustments as necessary. The model will be the property of the City and may be used by the City for any purpose.
4. Rate calculations should consider the impacts of:
• Additional staffing needed to better operate the utility. • Necessary improvements to the utility system as described in the Wastewater Master Plan.
• Increased costs due to new wastewater regulations.
5. Propose a methodology for annual inflationary adjustments in compliance with Proposition 218.
6. Perform an analysis of the various reserves and fund balances and make recommendations for appropriate levels.
7. Review the existing user classifications and provide justification for any new classes of customers.
7 8. Ensure that proposed rate structures are easy to understand and administer and can be accommodated within the City’s existing utility billing system (Springbrook Software).
9. Identify various scenarios for debt repayment. The alternatives should consider the utility’s fiscal health as well as ratepayer impacts.
10. Attend meetings and conference calls with staff as needed. In person meetings are not required if virtual and phone call meetings are adequate. If in-person meetings are deemed necessary we ask that staff be available.
11. Present results to City Council in person. Assume up to three Council meetings. The intent is that Council can provide feedback on the alternatives being considered before a final recommendation is made. Council meets the 1st and 3rd Thursday of every month at 6:30 pm.
12. The consultant shall prepare a preliminary report for staff, an administrative draft for the final Council meeting (which includes Council and staff comments up to that point), and a final report (incorporating any final Council and staff changes). The reports should include the following:
• A brief physical description of the utility system;
• Service area description, including population characteristics; • Overview of financial operations for the last 5 years; • A description of the necessary capital improvement program over time (10-years), including potential State and Federal regulatory requirements; • The comprehensive revenue & expense model described above; • The rate structure alternatives described above.
• Local rate comparisons and statewide comparisons as appropriate.
13. The consultant will provide guidance and advice to City staff to assure compliance with the Proposition 218 process as it applies to wastewater services. The consultant will include the preparation and completion of the Proposition 218 notification as a service to the City. It is the intent of the City to adopt the wastewater rates proposed at the conclusion of the Proposition 218 Public Hearing. Consultant shall present at that hearing which will most likely take place at a regularly scheduled Council meeting.

City Council Staff Report
Resolution: Approving Resolution 2023-36, Accepting Improvements for Project No. 2022-03, “River Pointe Well 2 Rehab Project” and Authorizing the City Engineer to File a Notice of Completion with the Stanislaus County Recorder’s Office.
SUMMARY:
City Council is being asked to approve Resolution 2023-36, accepting the improvements for Project No. 2022-03, “River Pointe Well 2 Rehab Project” and authorize the City Engineer to file a Notice of Completion with the Stanislaus County Recorder’s Office.
ANALYSIS:
Operations staff has recently (last 6 months) noticed a significant production loss with Well 2, from an original production amount of 900-1200 gallons per minute to a reduced production of 400 gallons per minute. The reason for this large drop in production is due to the perforations that pull the groundwater into the well via the underground aquafer being plugging with manganese and other particles that are picked up through the layers of the earth. This creates strain on the bowls, pump, and booster pumps.
We have already repaired a booster pump last year which was an indication of impending rehab work needed.
When a well is running at half production it typically will call the well to run more than is needed too based off demand and pressures by the distribution system. This creates premature wear and tear on the pump, electrical windings in the motor, and eventually will lead to well failure. With the rehabilitation of Well 2 the residents of River Pointe and Waterford will have good water pressure and quality water to drink.
When the contractor started checking the condition of the well, they noticed that Manganese had severely corroded the Shaft, bearings, and spiders. A change order was needed to add these repairs to the total cost of the project. Following completion of all work, the well was tested and production has returned to 1100 gallons per minute.
The table below provides the City Council of an accounting of funding approved to date:
Action Scope of Work Approval Amount
Award of Bid Original Contract City Manager $45,866.42
Change Order #1 Replace shaft,
bearings, and spiders. City Manager>10% $21,448.41
Final Contract Price $67,354.83
All work has been completed in accordance with the Plans, Specifications and Standard Plans. Staff recommends City Council accept the improvements and authorize the City Engineer to file a Notice of Completion with the Stanislaus County Recorder’s Office.

Motion: Rejecting all Bids for Project No. 2023-08, “Western Ave., Pecan Ave, and Dorsey St. Improvements” due to Bid Irregularities and Authorizing the City Engineer to Re-Bid the Project.
SUMMARY:
The City Council is being asked to reject all bids for Project No. 2023-08 “Western Ave., Pecan Ave, and Dorsey St. Improvements” due to bid irregularities and authorizing the City Engineer to re-bid the project.
ANALYSIS:
Per the attached bid protest from United Pavement Maintenance, the lowest bidder, Taylor Backhoe Services (TBS), failed to comply with the HUD requirements contained in the bid package. Specifically, they did not submit the “EEO Certification” for their subcontractors, which is clearly identified and required for all bidders. Second, they failed to provide “signed” verification of Addendum #1, per the City’s requirements. Therefore, we are forced to reject their bid proposal at this time.
The second lowest responsive bidder was United Pavement Maintenance, at $678,713.90, which is roughly $79K more than Taylor Backhoe Services, Inc. Staff is recommending that the City reject all bids and rebid the project immediately.
On July 19, staff received 4 bids:
Bid Company City and State Amount
1. Taylor Backhoe Merced, CA 95341 $599,925.47
2. United Pavement Maintenance, Inc Hughson, CA 95326 $678,713.90
3. Consolidated Engineers, Inc Valley Springs, CA 95252 $686,312.22
4. George Reed, Inc. Modesto, CA 95352 $881,412.25
FISCAL IMPACT
Engineers Estimate for this project is $490,000.
Funding for this project will come from the CDBG Funds budget number 2080-460-8290 for fiscal year 2022/2023.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This project is categorically exempted according to Title 14, Chapter 3, Article 19 of the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), in accordance with Section 15301 “Existing Facilities.”

Motion: Accept the Parks and Recreation Commission Recommendation to promote a City Youth Basketball League, Provide Level of Funding per the Proposed Budget and Identify Funding to come from General Fund Reserve, Cannabis Derived Revenue or other Fund.
SUMMARY:
The Parks and Recreation is seeking approval to move forward with the youth basketball League and requests City Council fund the program per the proposed budget.
ANALYSIS:
Council directed staff at the February priorities workshop to have the Parks and Recreation Commission investigate what it would take to start a youth basketball league in Waterford and the costs associated with startup. Staff has met several times with the Parks and Recreation Committee on this subject and staff believes that a league could be started in January. Staff is looking for direction from council to see if they desire to use city funds for this youth basketball league and if so what level of funding and from what funding source.
Staff, based on council direction, will bring back a budget amendment for council approval. A proposed budget was included in the packet showing a breakdown of the youth basketball league estimated budget needs (Exhibit A). Funding would be expended by staff on a reimbursement basis following receiving receipts of actual expenses.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost for running a Youth Basketball League is an estimated $15,000. Possible funding sources could be General Fund Reserve or revenues derived by cannabis sales.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The City finds and determines with certainty that the Parks and Recreation recommended community events are exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), and that the activity is covered under the general rule that CEQA applies to only projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. All capital improvement projects funded in the future will be required to undergo further CEQA review.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Not to approve the Parks and Recreations proposed Youth Basketball League and provide further guidance.
2. Direct funds to be spent elsewhere.

City Council Staff Report
Motion: Accept the Parks and Recreation Commission Recommendation for City Parks Improvements and direct staff to develop a list of priority improvements based on Council funding direction.
SUMMARY:
The Parks and Recreation was asked by staff to evaluate our community parks and make recommendation for City Parks Improvements. Council is being asked to review and accept the report and:
1. Send the report to staff and direct staff to prioritize improvements and bring it back for council consideration.
2. Council could decide to prioritize the improvements themselves and direct staff.
3. Choose a different direction.
In all cases, it is recommended the Council give directions as to an annual funding amount and determine a funding source.
ANALYSIS:
At the February priorities workshop, Council directed staff to have the Parks and Recreation Commission form a committee to evaluate our existing parks and develop a report defining improvements that could enhance public use of our community parks. The committee would consist of community members to investigate improvements that may be needed or anything that should be added to enhance our city parks. The Parks and Recreation Commission and committee developed the attached report for council review and acceptance.
It is recommended that Council accept the report and send it back to staff with direction for staff to bring back a list of priority improvements and develop an improvement plan. If Council were to choose this option, a level and duration of annual funding should be determined and given to staff as guidance in developing the plan.
Another option would be for Council to review and prioritize improvements themselves and give staff direction as to how to proceed and develop a funding source for said improvements.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are no costs currently. However, if Council decides to move forward with certain improvements, a cost would be incurred for each improvement made.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The City finds and determines with certainty that the Parks and Recreation recommended community events are exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), and that the activity is covered under the general rule that CEQA applies to only projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. All capital improvement projects funded in the future will be required to undergo further CEQA review.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Not to approve the Parks and Recreations suggested community events and provide further guidance.

INSTRUCTION
TASK
On February 14, 2023, City of
Waterford, Public Works
Superintendent, Lonnie Statzer
tasked the Waterford Parks &
Recreation Committee with the

children who find it hard to be constrained
begin to relax. Children need to be outside long
enough to feel at home there.”

City Parks
The City of Waterford has six community parks:
• Beard Park
• Basin Park
• Brethren Park
• River Park
• Skyline Park
• Reinway & Trail Head Park
City of Waterford City Buildings, Parks, and Trails Report PAGE 5
The City of Waterford is taking the initiative to review and evaluate the needs for its buildings, parks, and trails. Involving community citizens and leaders in the process is an excellent way to gather diverse perspectives and ensure that the decisions made reflect the needs and desires of the community.
With a land area of approximately 2.382 square miles, Waterford has a relatively compact size. Having six community parks is impressive, as it suggests that the city values providing green spaces for its residents to enjoy. Parks play a vital role in promoting community well-being, providing recreational opportunities, and preserving natural environments.
As Commissioner José M. Aldaco is leading the process, it's likely that he will oversee the gathering of feedback and data from the community. This information will be crucial in identifying any existing issues or areas of improvement in the city's buildings, parks, and trails.
The review and evaluation process may involve assessing the condition and maintenance of existing facilities, determining the usage and popularity of parks and trails, considering accessibility and inclusivity aspects, and identifying potential expansion or development opportunities.
By involving community members, the committee can gain insights into the needs, preferences, and priorities of the residents. They can consider factors such as demographics, recreational interests, environmental concerns, and any specific requests or suggestions from the participants.
Ultimately, the review and evaluation process will help the City of Waterford make informed decisions regarding its buildings, parks, and trails, ensuring that they continue to meet the evolving needs of the community and contribute to the overall quality of life in the city.

Meeting & Expectation for the Task Force Team
On the morning of June 3, 2023, the City Building, Parks, and Trails Task Force Team gathered at River Park at 9
a.m. It was a beautiful and cool morning, setting the stage for their important meeting. The team members
introduced themselves, and the Parks and Recreation
(P&R) Commissioner, Aldaco, expressed gratitude for
their willingness to dedicate their valuable time and
sacrifice their personal family time to serve on this task force team.
The purpose of the meeting was to gather pertinent information that would be provided to the City of Waterford administration and shared with the City Council Members.
Commissioner Aldaco welcomed and thanked the team for their commitment to help in this endeavor. Their goal was to gather ideas and observations to improve the city's parks and ensure they remained attractive to both Waterfordians and visitors.
The team convened in the parking lot of River Park, where Commissioner Aldaco outlined the concept for the day. They would walk as a team and explore the city parks together. Throughout the walk, they would observe, discuss, and share ideas for improvements and identify any needs they noticed. The ultimate aim was to compile these ideas, thoughts, and wishes into a comprehensive report that would be presented to the City of Waterford administration. Subsequently, the report would be escalated to the City of Waterford Council for their consideration in setting goals and priorities for the community parks.
With this understanding of their task, the team embarked on their walk, ready to make a positive impact on the parks and trails of Waterford.

River Park
Location: 125 N. Appling Ave.
River Park is an enticing location for dog lovers due to its open space and access to the Tuolumne River. However, it's important to address the issue of dog defecation in different areas. One possible solution to this problem would be to install dog-bag dispensers at the park and along the river trail.
Dog-bag dispensers provide a convenient and easily accessible way for dog owners to clean up after their pets. By placing these dispensers strategically throughout the park and along the trail, dog owners would have a readily available supply of bags to pick up their dog's waste. This can help promote responsible pet ownership and keep the park and surrounding areas clean and enjoyable for everyone.
Additionally, it would be beneficial to raise awareness about the importance of cleaning up after pets and the negative impacts that dog waste can have on the environment and public health. Educational signage or campaigns could be implemented to encourage dog owners to be responsible and respectful of the park and river trail.
Involving local community groups or organizations dedicated to animal welfare could also be helpful in organizing clean-up events or initiatives to keep the area free from dog waste. These efforts can create a sense of ownership and responsibility among the park users and help maintain a clean and enjoyable environment for both dog lovers and other visitors.
Overall, addressing the issue of dog defecation and providing dog-bag dispensers can contribute to the overall cleanliness and appeal of River Park, making it an even more attractive destination for dog lovers and the general public.

Enhancing access to the river trails and providing clear pathways for park visitors is a great idea to improve the experience for citizens in River Park. Creating sidewalks or pathways to both the west and east river trails would indeed benefit the community and make it easier for people to navigate the park.
Establishing a sidewalk or pathway from the parking lot through the lawn to the east, as well as from the main entrance along the dividing wall of the park and the subdivision to the river trail, would provide a clear and designated route for park visitors to follow. This would not only enhance accessibility but also ensure the safety of pedestrians by giving them clear access.
Sidewalks or pathways can make the park more inclusive, allowing people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the river trails. It would create a more cohesive and connected experience within the park, promoting physical activity and a sense of community.
By establishing sidewalks or pathways to the river trails and improving access in River Park, the park would become more accessible and inviting to a wider range of citizens, promoting a healthier and more enjoyable outdoor experience for everyone. While showcasing the beautiful Tuolumne River.
Having clear and directional information regarding lifejackets and the location of the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Department's lifejacket loan program in Waterford would indeed be valuable for visitors to River Park. Safety should always be a top priority, especially when it comes to water activities.
To ensure the safety of those accessing the non-motorized boat launching ramp and the Tuolumne River, it would be beneficial to have signage or informational boards in prominent locations within River Park. These signs could provide clear instructions on where to find lifejackets and how to properly use them. They could also include information about the nearby Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Department's lifejacket loan program, directing visitors to its location on E Street.
In addition to providing information, establishing a summer season station at River Park, staffed by volunteers, would further enhance safety and support for visitors. This station could serve as a central point for information and assistance related to water activities, including the loan program for lifejackets. Volunteers could provide guidance, answer questions, and offer additional resources to ensure that visitors have a safe and enjoyable experience.
By highlighting the importance of wearing lifejackets, providing clear directions to the loan program, and establishing a summer season station at River Park, visitors would have access to the necessary resources and support to engage in water activities safely.
These efforts would help promote a culture of safety and responsible enjoyment of the Tuolumne River within River Park.

The monitoring and preventing the introduction of quagga mussels to the Tuolumne River is crucial. Quagga mussels are an invasive species that can have significant negative impacts on ecosystems and infrastructure. Taking proactive measures to prevent their introduction and spread is essential to protect the river's health and ecological balance. Here are some key steps that could be taken:
To address this concern, the City of Waterford, in
collaboration with relevant authorities and organizations, should implement a monitoring and prevention program.
Here are some key steps that could be taken:
Education and Awareness: Raise awareness among boaters and river users about the risks associated with quagga mussels and the importance of preventing their introduction. Provide information on the proper cleaning, draining, and drying of boats, gear, and equipment to avoid contamination.
Inspection and Decontamination: Establish inspection stations where boats can be checked for the presence of quagga mussels and other invasive species. If necessary, provide decontamination procedures for boats found to be contaminated.
Regulations and Enforcement: Implement regulations and guidelines that require boaters to comply with preventative measures, such as cleaning and inspecting their boats. Enforce these regulations through regular patrols and monitoring.
Collaboration with Local Organizations: Work closely with local environmental organizations, water resource management agencies, and relevant authorities to share information, coordinate efforts, and develop best practices for prevention and monitoring.
Research and Monitoring: Conduct regular monitoring of the river and surrounding areas to detect any early signs of quagga mussel presence. This can involve sampling water, vegetation, and other substrates to detect the presence of mussels or their larvae.
Reporting and Response: Establish a system for reporting any suspected or confirmed sightings of quagga mussels. Respond swiftly to reports by investigating and implementing appropriate measures to contain and mitigate their spread if necessary.
By implementing a comprehensive monitoring and prevention program, the City of Waterford can significantly reduce the risk of quagga mussels being introduced to the Tuolumne River. This proactive approach will help protect the river's ecosystem, preserve its biodiversity, and maintain the recreational value of the area for future generations.

River Park often serves as an extension of people's backyards, providing spaces for family gatherings, picnics, and barbecues. To address the issue of disposing of barbecue coals properly, having designated coal bins
near picnic areas and throughout the park is
indeed a practical solution.
By providing clearly marked and easily
accessible coal bins, park visitors would have
a designated place to safely dispose of their
barbecue coals. These bins should be designed
to contain the hot coals and prevent them from
causing any hazards, such as fire or burns.
To effectively implement this solution, it would be important for the park management or relevant authorities to:
Assess and determine the appropriate locations for the coal bins throughout the park, with a particular focus on areas where picnics and barbecues are commonly held.
Install durable and fire-resistant coal bins that are clearly labeled and easily identifiable.
These bins should be designed to safely contain hot coals and prevent accidental spills or fires. Additional BBQ pits and coal bins need to be added to the south part of the park by the trees where the picnic tables are located.
Regularly empty and clean the coal bins to ensure they are ready for use and maintain a clean and safe environment within the park.
Communicate and educate park visitors about the availability and location of the coal bins. This can be done through signage, park brochures, or online platforms to ensure visitors are aware of the proper disposal method for barbecue coals.
It's also important to note that park visitors should be encouraged to allow their coals to fully extinguish before disposal. This can be achieved by providing information and reminders about the importance of allowing coals to cool down completely.
By providing designated coal bins near picnic areas and throughout the park, River Park can help maintain a clean and safe environment for visitors while ensuring the enjoyment of family activities such as picnics and barbecues.
Parks belong to the community, and it's essential for Waterfordians to take ownership and responsibility for maintaining the parks in good condition. Creating focal points of expectations can help guide and encourage community members to actively participate in the upkeep and preservation of their parks.
City of Waterford City Buildings, Parks, and Trails Report PAGE 16
To promote accessibility and inclusivity within River
Park, it's crucial to ensure easy access to different areas of the park for individuals with disabilities and seniors.
Ensure that park infrastructure, such as pathways,
ramps, parking spaces, and restrooms, comply with the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. This
will enable individuals with disabilities to navigate the park easily and independently.
Establish paved or compacted pathways throughout the
park that are wide enough for wheelchair users to
maneuver comfortably. These paths should lead to various park amenities, including picnic areas, playgrounds, and scenic viewpoints.
Provide accessible picnic tables, seating areas, and barbecue grills that are designed to accommodate individuals with disabilities. Ensure that there is sufficient space around these facilities for wheelchair users to comfortably move around.
Install clear and visible signage that includes universal symbols and Braille, indicating accessible routes, amenities, and facilities within the park. This will assist individuals with visual impairments in navigating the park effectively.
Take into account the needs of individuals with sensory sensitivities by providing quiet areas, sensory-friendly playground equipment, and designated spaces for relaxation.
Encourage community members to provide feedback and suggestions on improving accessibility within the park. Foster a sense of ownership and involvement by involving individuals with disabilities, seniors, and local organizations representing these groups in the decision-making process.
By prioritizing accessibility, River Park can become a welcoming and inclusive space for individuals with disabilities and seniors. It will enable them to fully enjoy the park's amenities and foster a sense of community engagement and belonging.
Maintaining the facilities and amenities within parks, like River Park, in good repair is crucial to ensure that they remain safe and enjoyable for the community. The horseshoe pits are no exception, and addressing their repair is important to provide a quality experience for park visitors.
Conduct a thorough assessment of the horseshoe pits to determine the extent of the repairs needed. Identify any structural damage, safety hazards, or other issues that require attention.
City of Waterford City Buildings, Parks, and Trails Report PAGE 17
Develop a repair plan that outlines the necessary actions and materials needed to restore the horseshoe pits. Create a budget based on the scope of repairs, including materials, labor costs, and any additional requirements.
Consider the urgency and priority of the repairs based on the level of damage and demand for the horseshoe pits. This will help in allocating resources effectively and addressing critical repairs first.
If the repairs require specialized knowledge or skills, consider consulting with professionals such as contractors or carpenters who have experience in repairing recreational facilities like horseshoe pits. Their expertise can ensure the repairs are done correctly and meet safety standards.
Engage with the community and local organizations to seek support for the repairs.
This can include volunteers, fundraising initiatives, or partnerships with businesses or community groups interested in contributing to the maintenance of the park.
Establish a routine maintenance schedule for the horseshoe pits and other park amenities to prevent future deterioration. This can include periodic inspections, cleaning, and small repairs to address minor issues before they escalate.
Keep the community informed about the repair process and progress. Provide updates through local newsletters, social media, or signage at the park to create transparency and maintain community engagement.
By addressing the repairs needed for the horseshoe pits and ensuring regular maintenance, River Park can offer a well-maintained and enjoyable recreational experience for Waterfordians. The community's involvement and collaboration, along with the city's commitment to maintaining park facilities, will contribute to the longterm success and usability of the horseshoe pits and other amenities in the park.

Trails from River Park towards Hickman Bridge
Preserving the view and maintaining clear and accessible walkways along the Tuolumne River in River Park is indeed important. The City has allowed public organizations and individuals to establish amenities in the area.
Ensure that the walkways along
the river are clearly marked and
well-maintained. Regularly trim
vegetation and remove any
obstructions to keep the paths
clear and accessible for both
visitors and emergency vehicles.
This will enhance safety and
allow for unobstructed views of
the natural habitat and the river.
Assess the condition of benches,
pergolas, and other amenities
along the river trails. Repair or
replace those that have aged or
become damaged. Additionally, evaluate the placement of amenities to ensure they are conveniently located and easily accessible for trail users. Relocating amenities closer to the pathways can enhance their utility and enjoyment for visitors.
Install trashcan reciprocals along the pathways to provide convenient disposal options for trail users. Strategically place these receptacles at regular intervals to encourage proper waste disposal and help maintain the cleanliness of the park. Regular monitoring and maintenance of the trash receptacles will be necessary to ensure they are emptied regularly.
Encourage community involvement and ownership in the maintenance and preservation of the river trails. Organize volunteer cleanup events or adopt-a-trail programs to foster a sense of responsibility and stewardship among the citizens.
City of Waterford City Buildings, Parks, and Trails Report PAGE 19
By implementing these suggestions, River Park can continue to provide a beautiful and well-maintained environment for visitors to enjoy the natural habitat and the Tuolumne River. Creating clear pathways, repairing and relocating amenities, and ensuring proper waste management will contribute to a more pleasant experience for trail users and help preserve the park's natural beauty.
The circular pathway with bicycle paths and hills, located north of the river trail and east of the Hickman Bridge, sounds like it added a unique and enjoyable element to the park. This area changed after the construction of the Hickman Bridge in 2020.
City of Waterford City Buildings, Parks, and Trails Report PAGE 20
Evaluate the current condition of the area and restore any damaged or overgrown sections of the circular pathway. Ensure that the pathway is well-maintained and clearly marked, allowing visitors to navigate the area easily.
Re-establish the bicycle paths and incorporate features such as gentle hills or small jumps, keeping in mind safety considerations. These features can enhance the biking experience for children and enthusiasts alike.
Integrate native plants and vegetation along the circular pathway to create an aesthetically pleasing and ecologically diverse landscape. Native plants provide habitat for local wildlife and contribute to the overall environmental sustainability of the park.
Post the Hickman Bridge completion, these plants have the ability to be inviting and welcoming but have been lost in the overgrown weeds. It would benefit them to be mulched and watered. Also mulching the walking loop would help these natives to be noticed and appreciated by those strolling through the walking path.
Designate a central area within the circular pathway for children to play with their bikes or engage in other recreational activities. This can include a small play zone with equipment, seating for parents or guardians, and proper safety measures.
Install signage or information boards in the area to provide visitors with details about the pathway, its features, and any guidelines or safety precautions to follow. This can City of Waterford City Buildings, Parks, and Trails Report PAGE 21
also serve as an opportunity to educate visitors about the importance of native plants and ecological conservation.
Involve the local community, especially families and bike enthusiasts, in the planning and development of the area. Seek their input and feedback to ensure the design and features meet the needs and preferences of the users.
By restoring and enhancing the circular pathway with bicycle paths and incorporating native plants, River Park can recreate the enjoyable and engaging area that existed before the construction of the Hickman Bridge. This will provide a unique recreational space for children and families to enjoy biking and connect with nature within the park.

Beard Park
