Watsonville City Council

Watsonville, CA 95076
ATTN: Mayor Maria Orozco
Dear Mayor Orozco and City Councilmembers,
3441 Redwood Drive
Aptos, CA 95003
November 5, 2025
I continue to be concerned about the perceived Conflict of Interest regarding the fact that Mayor Orozco is employed by Santa Cruz County as Analyst for 4th District County Supervisor Felipe Hernandez. Supervisor Hernandez currently serves as the Chairman of Board.

This concern is now heightened by the actions of the County Supervisors at the November 4, 2025 meeting, in Item #9 County of Santa Cruz Board of Supervisors (attached) that included monetary agreement by the Watsonville City Council:

Agenda Item Submittal
From: Office of Response, Recovery and Resilience
Subject: Declaration of Local Emergency Due to Food Insecurity from Federal Government Shutdown
Meeting Date: November 4, 2025
Formal Title: Consider adopting a resolution declaring a local emergency impacting vulnerable residents due to lack of federal financial support for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, approve a contribution up to $500,000 for emergency food procurement and distribution through Second Harvest Food Bank Santa Cruz County, and take related actions - 4/5 vote required

Page 6 of 245 ends

At the beginning of the meeting, the Chairman announced the Board had received an additional document on this item that included adding a $100,000 contribution from the City of Watsonville.

The Board unanimously approved the Resolution to declare the local emergency and accept all contributions as stated in staff presentations by Ms. Kimberly Petersen, Deputy Director of County Human Services Department, and Ms. Erica Padilla-Chavez, CEO of Second Harvest Food Bank.

Subsequently, County Public Information Officer Mr. Jason Hoppin released news of this action, which included the City of Watsonville's $100,000 Contribution. (see attached) I reviewed your Council's agenda items and actions for October 28, 2025. There was no discussion of the City of Watsonville's participation in a Loca I Emergency.

I have reviewed the agenda for your Council's November 5, 2025 Special Meeting tonight, but do not see the issue included in the agenda. I can only assume that it will be added as an emergency item by Mayor Orozco.

This course of action causes great concern regarding the Conflict of Interest present in having Mayor Orozco employed in the office of Chairman of the Board of Supervisors.

I have privately discussed the issue of Conflict of Interest with Mayor Orozco following her action on October 28, 2025 to modify the letter to the County Board of Supervisors regarding the Seahawk Energy BESS project at 90 Minto Road (MOTION APPROVING LETTER TO THE

COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STATING WATSONVILLE COMMUNITY

CONCERNS REGARDING BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM FACILITY ON MINTO ROAD (Recommended by Council Members Parker, Quiroz-Carter, and Clark), thereby changing the intent of the letter to support the County's BESS Ordinance process.

The letter had been on the consent agenda until pulled by Councilmember Dutra, and thus provoking the addition of Mayor Orozco's modifications that were ultimately approved, under protest of Councilmember Clark.

Please discuss this serious issue publicly.

Sincerely,
·'-7 ------ Becky Steinbrutlr'

LOCAL AGENCIES JOIN FORCES TO SUPPORT SECOND HARVEST, REDUCE

FOOD INSECURITY DURING SHUTDOWN
In an extraordinary show of regional collaboration, local governments and community partners across Santa Cruz County are joining forces to keep food on the table and address increasing food insecurity for residents affected by the federal government shutdown.

The County of Santa Cruz, the Santa Cruz County Office of Education, the City of Watsonville, the City of Santa Cruz, and Community Foundation Santa Cruz County have pledged more than $1 million to support Second Harvest Food Bank Santa Cruz County's emergency food distribution efforts, pending formal approval by their respective governing bodies.

Local leaders are also encouraging businesses, service organizations, and philanthropic partners throughout Santa Cruz County to join this collaborative effort. Second Harvest Food Bank is working to source and distribute millions of pounds of food to meet emergency needs, and every contribution - large or small- makes a measurable difference. Local partners are invited to donate funds to help ensure that no family in our community goes without food during the federal shutdown.

The combined contributions include:
• County of Santa Cruz- $500,000
• Santa Cruz County Office of Education - $250,000
• City of Watsonville-$100,000
• City of Santa Cruz-$100,000
• Community Foundation Santa Cruz County- $100,000
These funds will help Second Harvest respond to a surge in need caused by the suspension of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP/CalFresh) benefits during the federal shutdown. Approximately 33,000 local residents depend on SNAP, representing roughly $6.5 million in monthly food spending that has been interrupted. "This unified regional response shows what our community can accomplish together," Santa Cruz County Board Chair Felipe Hernandez said. "I'd like to thank CEO Nicole

Page 9 of 245 ends

Coburn for organizing this effort. We are working side by side to ensure that no family in Santa Cruz County goes hungry during this crisis."
"We know students can't learn on an empty stomach," County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Faris Sabbah said. "With families at risk of losing nutrition support during the federal shutdown, we must step forward to strengthen school-based food distribution and meet the growing needs across our community."
"In Watsonville, we've seen firsthand how families are struggling to stretch their budgets," Watsonville Mayor Maria Orozco said. "Approving this contribution would reflect our shared commitment to supporting the community when it needs us most." "The City of Santa Cruz is proud to stand with our regional partners," said Santa Cruz Mayor Fred Keeley said. "Food insecurity affects every part of the county, and it takes all of us to ensure our neighbors are cared for."
"Since spring, when the USDA trucks headed to food banks were turned around, the outpouring of support from the Community Foundation's donors has reflected the true spirit of generosity that powers our county," said Susan True, CEO of Community Foundation Santa Cruz County. "Along with county and city partners, we can continue to provide food for thousands of families during this uncertain time." Second Harvest estimates it needs approximately $1 million per month to meet the increased demand for food assistance as the shutdown continues. The coordinated local response will help bridge that gap while the region awaits the restoration of federal aid. "The collective response by our local governments and philanthropic partners is a demonstration of our local commitment to ensuring no one in our county goes hungry," Second Harvest CEO Erica Padilla-Chavez said. "Only by working together can we weather this challenging time. We should all feel proud of our county's response to this unprecedented situation."
While there have been court actions toward delivery of food support for 43 million Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program enrollees nationwide-1 out of every 8 Americans - it remains unclear when benefits would become available, what percentage of regular benefits would be available, whether beneficiaries would be made whole once the shutdown ends and how long those benefits would be available should the shutdown persist into December and beyond.

How Residents Can Help
Community members can make tax-deductible donations directly to Second Harvest Food Bank at www.thefoodbank.org or volunteer to help with food distribution.

County of Santa Cruz Board of Supervisors
Agenda Item Submittal
From: Office of Response, Recovery and Resilience
Subject: Declaration of Local Emergency Due to Food Insecurity from Federal Government Shutdown
Meeting Date: November 4, 2025
Formal Title: Consider adopting a resolution declaring a local emergency impacting vulnerable residents due to lack of federal financial support for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, approve a contribution up to $500,000 for emergency food procurement and distribution through Second Harvest Food Bank Santa Cruz County, and take related actions - 4/5 vote required
Recommended Actions
1 . Adopt a resolution declaring a Local Emergency for the food insecurity brought on by the federal government shutdown and lack of financial support for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Santa Cruz County;

2. Upon adoption, direct staff to forward the resolution to the Governor of California with the request that he proclaim the County of Santa Cruz to be in a state of emergency, and further that the Governor request State funding assistance;

3. Direct staff to inform the County's state and federal delegation of the Board's actions;

4. Approve a contribution up to $500,000 for emergency food procurement and distribution through Second Harvest Food Bank Santa Cruz County in support of SNAP (CalFresh in California);

5. Authorize the Human Services Department (HSD) to execute or amend an agreement with Second Harvest Food Bank Santa Cruz County in an amount up to $500,000 for emergency food procurement and distribution, with approval of the County Executive Office (CEO) and County Counsel, and direct HSD to return to the Board for contract ratification; and

6. Authorize the CEO and Auditor-Controller-Treasurer-Tax Collector to implement reductions up to $500,000 from discretionary Fiscal Year 2025-26 service and supply appropriations, prefunded by a reduction in General Fund Contingencies, and realign appropriations to provide up to $500,000 in support of SNAP recipients by four-fifths vote.

Executive Summary
The expiration of federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) allotments due to the federal government shutdown has dramatically reduced food assistance for thousands of low-income households in Santa Cruz County, worsening food insecurity and economic hardship. Local food banks and community organizations expect unprecedented demand that far exceeds their current resources. Declaring a local emergency will enable the County to request additional state support, coordinate resources more effectively, and work to safeguard vulnerable residents to the greatest extent possible. Contributing up to $500,000 will allow the County to scale up to directly ltem9
Packet Page 29

Page 11 of 245 ends

support providing food resources for SNAP (CalFresh in California) recipients and community food distribution programs.

Discussion
The expiration of SNAP allotments due to the federal government shutdown has created a sudden and measurable gap in household food resources, especially for low-income families and individuals who relied on the benefits. The County estimates that more than 35,000 residents obtain nutrition support services like SNAP, representing $6.5 million in monthly benefits previously accessed by local residents.

Local partners, including Second Harvest Food Bank Santa Cruz County (Second Harvest) and other community-based organizations, are reporting sharp increases in food distribution requests and diminished inventories. This situation places additional strain on local governments and nonprofits already contending with overlapping challenges from inflation, housing insecurity, and ongoing disaster recovery needs.

Declaring a local emergency will enable a more coordinated response, aligning County departments, regional partners, and state agencies to identify and deploy stop-gap funding to mitigate the immediate impacts of food insecurity and sustain local food access efforts.

The County Executive Office (CEO) has been coordinating with Second Harvest on a strategy to scale up emergency food procurement and distribution for November and December should there be a prolonged federal government shutdown. Second Harvest calculated a monthly cost of approximately $1 million to feed an additional 25,000 people in Santa Cruz County. Over two months, more than $2 million would be required to fund emergency food procurement and distribution. Second Harvest received $700,000 from the State of California from the $80 million emergency funding in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 budget. This leaves a gap of $1.3 million.

The CEO recommends a contribution up to $500,000 for emergency food procurement and distribution through Second Harvest. The Human Services Department (HSD) would be authorized to enter into a new or amended agreement with Second Harvest in an amount up to $500,000, with approval of the CEO and County Counsel, and directed to return to the Board for contract ratification. The new or amended agreement would allow for a modification to this amount if the federal government shutdown were to end in early to mid-November.

The CEO and Second Harvest reached out to the Cities of Capitola, Santa Cruz, Scotts Valley and Watsonville as well as the Community Foundation and County Office of Education to generate contributions towards this effort. The City of Santa Cruz indicated it will recommend a contribution of $100,000 at the November 18th Council meeting.

The Community Foundation will contribute $100,000. The County Office of Education will contribute $250,000. This results in total contributions of $950,000, leaving a gap of $350,950.

As part of this strategy, the CEO and Auditor-Controller-Treasurer-Tax Collector would be authorized to implement reductions of up to $500,000 from discretionary service and supply appropriations across General Fund departments, to realign those appropriations to the proper budget unit(s) to provide direct support through emergency food procurement and distribution for SNAP recipients through Second Harvest. This internal funding measure demonstrates that the County recognizes the severity of the crisis and ltem9
Packet Page 30

Page 12 of 245 ends

commitment to mobilizing all available resources to protect vulnerable residents while continuing to advocate for State assistance. It also demonstrates fiscal responsibility by providing operating reductions rather than depleting one-time contingencies or reserves that are already critically constrained.

The County's reserve levels currently stand at only 12.5% of operating expendituresbelow our policy target of 15% and less than half the reserve levels maintained by comparable counties. Given our chronic structural underfunding and the essential role these reserves play in maintaining our credit rating and respond to unforeseen disasters and other emergencies, drawing down reserves now would compromise the County's long-term fiscal stability and our capacity to respond to future, larger crises.

Financial Impact
The General Fund would provide up to $500,000 to support SNAP recipients who lose their benefit as a result of the federal shutdown. The CEO and Auditor-ControllerTreasurer-Tax Collector would be authorized to implement reductions and realign appropriations in the General Fund and provide for any payment(s) to Second Harvest.

This would be funded initially by General Fund Contingencies and ultimately by a reduction of up to $500,000 in General Fund service and supply appropriations in the County's FY 2025-26 Budget.

Dear Ms. Orozco,
Thank you for this information.

I noted that you were in the back of the room during yesterday's Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency Board Special Meeting, where Max Christian gave a presentation on the Seahawk Energy BESS Project.

What were your thoughts about the presentation?
I am not sure of what your capacity was in being there .. Mayor of Watsonville or Analyst for Supervisor Hernandez? I am still bothered by the issue of your conflict of interest that we discussed after last Tuesday's Watsonville City Council meeting, and your action to modify the Council's letter to support the County's BESS Draft Ordinance.

I have done a bit of research and found there is some question, especially as it applies to your modifications to the Council's letter:
"One person cannot hold two government positions if they involve overlapping or conflicting duties - for example, one position cannot have supervisorial or auditing authority over the other." https:/lwww.fppc.ca.gov/learn/public-officials-and-empfQyees-rules-/conflict-of-interest/holding-two-positions.html Please give this some thought and consider recusing yourself on County-related issues in the future.

Please respond. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Becky Steinbruner

Dear Becky,
After discussion with the City Attorney I confirmed that I cannot share any advice that the City Attorney has given me because that is privileged information.

I understand that what I can share is that salaries or reimbursement for expenses or other benefits received from a state, local or federal government are not considered income under Government Code section 82030 for purposes of determining whether an official has a financial interest under the Political Reform Act.

I receive a salary from the County in my role as an Analyst for County Supervisor Hernandez. That salary is from a local government, so it is not considered a financial interest for purposes of determining whether there is a conflict of interest.

Best regards,

Thank you for discussing my concerns regarding the appearance of your conflict of interest relating to the modifications you proposed tonight to the Draft Letter.

CERTIFICATION OF LOWER TIER CONTRACTORS REGARDING DEBARMENT The successful bidder, by administering each lower tier subcontract that exceeds $25,000 as a “covered transaction”, must confirm each lower tier participant of a “covered transaction” under the project is not presently debarred or otherwise disqualified from participation in this federally-assisted project. The successful bidder will accomplish this by:

1. Checking the System for Award Management at website: http://www.sam.gov.

2. Collecting a certification statement similar to the Certification of Offeror /Bidder Regarding Debarment, above.

3. Inserting a clause or condition in the covered transaction with the lower tier contract.

If the Federal Aviation Administration later determines that a lower tier participant failed to disclose to a higher tier participant that it was excluded or disqualified at the time it entered the covered transaction, the FAA may pursue any available remedies, including suspension and debarment of the non-compliant participant.

Consultant Contract Architects or Engineers w/employees On Demand Page 16 of 28 Termination of DBE Subcontracts (49 CFR § 26.53(f)) –
The prime contractor must not terminate a DBE subcontractor listed in response to Agreement for Aviation Engineering Services between City of Watsonville and Brandley Engineering dated January 25, 2023, (or an approved substitute DBE firm) without prior written consent of City of Watsonville. This includes, but is not limited to, instances in which the prime contractor seeks to perform work originally designated for a DBE subcontractor with its own forces or those of an affiliate, a non-DBE firm, or with another DBE firm.

The prime contractor shall utilize the specific DBEs listed to perform the work and supply the materials for which each is listed unless the contractor obtains written consent City of Watsonville.

Unless City of Watsonville consent is provided, the prime contractor shall not be entitled to any payment for work or material unless it is performed or supplied by the listed DBE.

City of Watsonville may provide such written consent only if City of Watsonville agrees, for reasons stated in the concurrence document, that the prime contractor has good cause to terminate the DBE firm. For purposes of this paragraph, good cause includes the circumstances listed in 49 CFR §26.53.

Before transmitting to City of Watsonville its request to terminate and/or substitute a DBE subcontractor, the prime contractor must give notice in writing to the DBE subcontractor, with a copy to City of Watsonville, of its intent to request to terminate and/or substitute, and the reason for the request.

The prime contractor must give the DBE five days to respond to the prime contractor's notice and advise City of Watsonville and the contractor of the reasons, if any, why it objects to the proposed termination of its subcontract and why City of Watsonville should not approve the prime contractor's action. If required in a particular case as a matter of public necessity (e.g., safety) City of Watsonville may provide a response period shorter than five days.

In addition to post-award terminations, the provisions of this section apply to preaward deletions of or substitutions for DBE firms put forward by offerors in negotiated procurements.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY CLAUSE
During the performance of this contract, the Contractor agrees as follows:
(1) The Contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. The Contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identify, or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to, the following: employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff, or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The Contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause. (2) The Contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the Contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. (3) The contractor will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has inquired about, discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee or applicant. This provision shall not apply to instances in which an employee who has access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee's essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to individuals who do not Docusign Envelope ID: 4216E8D8-FBF0-4290-AB0B-7EA4580D09C5

(4) The Contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which it has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided by the agency contracting officer, advising the labor union or workers’ representative of the Contractor’s commitments under this section 202 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment. (5) The Contractor will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor. (6) The Contractor will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and by the rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor, or pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts by the contracting agency and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations, and orders.
(7) In the event of the Contractor’s noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract or with any such rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the Contractor may be declared ineligible for further Government contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law. (8) The Contractor will include the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (8) in every subcontract or purchase order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor. The Contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as may be directed by the Secretary of Labor as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance: Provided, however, that in the event the contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction, the Contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.

2. Whenever the Contractor, or any subcontractor at any tier, subcontracts a portion of the work involving any construction trade, it shall physically include in each subcontract in excess of $10,000 the provisions of these specifications and the Notice which contains the applicable goals for minority and female participation and which is set forth in the solicitations from which this contract resulted.

3. If the Contractor is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR part 60-4.5) in a Hometown Plan approved by the U.S. Department of Labor in the covered area either individually or through an association, its affirmative action obligations on all work in the Plan area (including goals and timetables) shall be in accordance with that Plan for those trades which have unions participating in the Plan. Contractors must be able to demonstrate their participation in and compliance with the provisions of any such Hometown Plan. Each contractor or subcontractor participating in an approved plan is individually required to comply with its obligations under the EEO clause and to make a good faith effort to achieve each goal under the Plan in each trade in which it has employees. The overall good faith performance by other contractors or subcontractors toward a goal in an approved Plan does not excuse any covered contractor’s or subcontractor’s failure to take good faith efforts to achieve the Plan goals and timetables.

4. The Contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action standards provided in paragraphs 7a through 7p of these specifications. The goals set forth in the solicitation from which this contract resulted are expressed as percentages of the total hours of employment and training of minority and female utilization the Contractor should reasonably be able to achieve in each construction trade in which it has employees in the covered area. Covered construction contractors performing construction work in a geographical areas where they do not have a Federal or federally assisted construction contract shall apply the minority and female goals established for the geographical area where the work is being performed.

Goals are published periodically in the Federal Register in notice form, and such notices may be obtained from any Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs office or from Federal procurement contracting officers. The Contractor is expected to make substantially uniform progress in meeting its goals in each craft during the period specified.

5. Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement, nor the failure by a union with whom the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement, to refer either minorities or women shall excuse the Contractor’s obligations under these specifications, Executive Order 11246, or the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.

6. In order for the nonworking training hours of apprentices and trainees to be counted in meeting the goals, such apprentices and trainees must be employed by the Contractor during the training period, and the Contractor must have made a commitment to employ the apprentices and trainees at the completion Docusign Envelope ID: 4216E8D8-FBF0-4290-AB0B-7EA4580D09C5

7. The Contractor shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure equal employment opportunity. The evaluation of the Contractor’s compliance with these specifications shall be based upon its effort to achieve maximum results from its actions. The Contractor shall document these efforts fully, and shall implement affirmative action steps at least as extensive as the following:
a. Ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment, intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in all facilities at which the Contractor’s employees are assigned to work. The Contractor, where possible, will assign two or more women to each construction project. The Contractor shall specifically ensure that all foremen, superintendents, and other onsite supervisory personnel are aware of and carry out the Contractor’s obligation to maintain such a working environment, with specific attention to minority or female individuals working at such sites or in such facilities. b. Establish and maintain a current list of minority and female recruitment sources, provide written notification to minority and female recruitment sources and to community organizations when the Contractor or its unions have employment opportunities available, and maintain a record of the organizations’ responses.
c. Maintain a current file of the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of each minority and female off-the-street applicant and minority or female referral from a union, a recruitment source, or community organization and of what action was taken with respect to each such individual. If such individual was sent to the union hiring hall for referral and was not referred back to the Contractor by the union or, if referred, not employed by the Contractor, this shall be documented in the file with the reason therefor, along with whatever additional actions the Contractor may have taken. d. Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union or unions with which the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement has not referred to the Contractor a minority person or woman sent by the Contractor, or when the Contractor has other information that the union referral process has impeded the Contractor’s efforts to meet its obligations. e. Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or participate in training programs for the area which expressly include minorities and women, including upgrading programs and apprenticeship and trainee programs relevant to the Contractor’s employment needs, especially those programs funded or approved by the Department of Labor. The Contractor shall provide notice of these programs to the sources compiled under 7b above.
f. Disseminate the Contractor’s EEO policy by providing notice of the policy to unions and training programs and requesting their cooperation in assisting the Contractor in meeting its EEO obligations; by including it in any policy manual and collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in the company newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific review of the policy with all management personnel and with all minority and female employees at least once a year; and by posting the company EEO policy on bulletin boards accessible to all employees at each location where construction work is performed.
g. Review, at least annually, the company’s EEO policy and affirmative action obligations under these specifications with all employees having any responsibility for hiring, assignment, layoff, termination, or other employment decisions including specific review of these items with onsite Docusign Envelope ID: 4216E8D8-FBF0-4290-AB0B-7EA4580D09C5

A written record shall be made and maintained identifying the time and place of these meetings, persons attending, subject matter discussed, and disposition of the subject matter.
h. Disseminate the Contractor’s EEO policy externally by including it in any advertising in the news media, specifically including minority and female news media, and providing written notification to and discussing the Contractor’s EEO policy with other contractors and subcontractors with whom the Contractor does or anticipates doing business.
i. Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and written, to minority, female, and community organizations, to schools with minority and female students and to minority and female recruitment and training organizations serving the Contractor’s recruitment area and employment needs. Not later than one month prior to the date for the acceptance of applications for apprenticeship or other training by any recruitment source, the Contractor shall send written notification to organizations such as the above, describing the openings, screening procedures, and tests to be used in the selection process. j. Encourage present minority and female employees to recruit other minority persons and women and, where reasonable, provide after school, summer, and vacation employment to minority and female youth both on the site and in other areas of a contractor’s work force. k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an obligation to do so under 41 CFR part 60-3.
l. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation at least of all minority and female personnel, for promotional opportunities and encourage these employees to seek or to prepare for, through appropriate training, etc., such opportunities.
m. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments, and other personnel practices do not have a discriminatory effect by continually monitoring all personnel and employment related activities to ensure that the EEO policy and the Contractor’s obligations under these specifications are being carried out.
n. Ensure that all facilities and company activities are nonsegregated except that separate or singleuser toilet and necessary changing facilities shall be provided to assure privacy between the sexes. o. Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of offers for subcontracts from minority and female construction contractors and suppliers, including circulation of solicitations to minority and female contractor associations and other business associations. p. Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisor’s adherence to and performance under the Contractor’s EEO policies and affirmative action obligations.

8. Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations, which assist in fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations (7a through 7p). The efforts of a contractor association, joint contractor-union, contractor-community, or other similar group of which the Contractor is a member and participant may be asserted as fulfilling any one or more of its obligations under 7a through 7p of these specifications provided that the Contractor actively participates in the group, makes every effort to assure that the group has a positive impact on the employment of minorities and women in the industry, ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected in the Contractor’s minority and female workforce Docusign Envelope ID: 4216E8D8-FBF0-4290-AB0B-7EA4580D09C5

The obligation to comply, however, is the Contractor’s and failure of such a group to fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the Contractor’s noncompliance.

9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been established. The Contractor, however, is required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women, both minority and non-minority.

Consequently, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a particular group is employed in a substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the Contractor has achieved its goals for women generally, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is underutilized).

10. The Contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action standards to discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.

11. The Contractor shall not enter into any subcontract with any person or firm debarred from Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246.

12. The Contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these specifications and of the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspension, termination, and cancellation of existing subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and its implementing regulations, by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Any contractor who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in violation of these specifications and Executive Order 11246, as amended.

13. The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall implement specific affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in paragraph 7 of these specifications, so as to achieve maximum results from its efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity.

If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of the Executive Order, the implementing regulations, or these specifications, the Director shall proceed in accordance with 41 CFR part 60-4.8.

14. The Contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports relating to the provisions hereof as may be required by the Government, and to keep records. Records shall at least include for each employee, the name, address, telephone numbers, construction trade, union affiliation if any, employee identification number when assigned, social security number, race, sex, status (e.g., mechanic, apprentice, trainee, helper, or laborer), dates of changes in status, hours worked per week in the indicated trade, rate of pay, and locations at which the work was performed. Records shall be maintained in an easily understandable and retrievable form; however, to the degree that existing records satisfy this requirement, contractors shall not be required to maintain separate records.

15. Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon the application of other laws which establish different standards of compliance or upon the application of requirements for the hiring of local or other area residents (e.g. those under the Public Works Employment Act of 1977 and the Community Development Block Grant Program).

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Wednesday, November 5, 2025
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: AIRPORT DIRECTOR WILLIAMS

AIRPORT ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST AGUADO
RECOMMENDED BY: AIRPORT DIRECTOR WILLIAMS
APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF LEASE AGREEMENT WITH TIM M. WOOD DBA WOODY’S

AT THE AIRPORT FOR AIRPORT RESTAURANT FACILITY
RECOMMENDATION:

It isrecommended that the City Council approve a three-year lease agreement, with an optional four-year extension, for the Airport Restaurant facility located at 100 Aviation Way, Watsonville, with Tim M. Wood, doing business as Woody’s at the Airport.

BACKGROUND:

The Municipal Airport’s restaurant facility has long served as a valued amenity for both airside users and community visitors. On June 17, 2025, the prior tenant ceased operations, leaving the facility vacant.

Recognizing the importance of maintaining a vibrant restaurant presence at the Airport, staff initiated a comprehensive search process in August 2025 to identify a qualified tenant.

The search process consisted of an initial notice of pending Request for Proposal (RFP) published in two local newspapers and posted on the Airport’s website. To obtain an invitation for proposal submission, interested individuals or entities were required to complete an application of interest. The application requested basic information, financial data, credit scores and resume detailing experience. Although early interest by telephone and email inquiries exceeded at least a dozen, only three applications were submitted. Three RFP documents were forwarded to the applicants.

Prior to submitting the RFP responses, the three applicants were invited to tour the facility to assess firsthand the restaurant in its current state. Out of the three applicants only two arrived for the walk through.

Page 63 of 245 ends

2 Shortly after the walk through two responses were delivered to the Airport’s Administrative team led by Administrative Analyst Aguado.

The two proposals were reviewed and evaluated based on experience, financial stability, proposed business concept, and alignment with the Airport’s operational and community outreach goals. After thorough review, the administrative team scored the two proposals and determined that the proposal submitted by Tim M. Wood, doing business as Woody’s at the Airport, provided the best overall value and opportunity for long-term success. The team provided the score sheets and the proposals to the Airport Director for his review and concurrence. After the Director’s review, it was confirmed that Mr. Tim M.

Wood was indeed the best choice for the Municipal Airport.

DISCUSSION:

Mr. Wood is a well-regarded local chef who has been recognized multiple times as one of the area’s best.

His culinary approach—combining quality ingredients with approachable menu options—along with his established record of community engagement and hospitality, aligns strongly with the City’s goal to reestablish the Airport restaurant as a destination for both residents and visitors.

The proposed lease agreement covers approximately 2,400 square feet of interior restaurant space, 430 square feet of patio seating, and 650 square feet of exterior storage. The initial lease term will commence on November 15, 2025, for a period of three years, with an optional four-year extension upon mutual agreement. The base lease rate is set at $4,500 per month, subject to annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments beginning on the second year of the lease, plus a monthly Common Area Maintenance (CAM) fee of $600.

This lease structure provides a fair market return to the Airport Enterprise Fund while ensuring stable occupancy of a key Airport facility. The reopening of the restaurant is anticipated to generate positive economic and community impacts, including local job creation, enhanced visitor experience, and increased sales tax revenue for the City.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

This action does not meet CEQA's definition of a “project,” because the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Economic Development
Efficient and Well-performing Government
Fiscal Health

Page 64 of 245 ends

3 FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The Airport Enterprise Fund will receive monthly lease payments of $4,500, plus annual CPI adjustments beginning in year two, generating steady revenue to support Airport operations. The optional four-year extension will continue at market rate with annual CPI adjustments as well. The restaurant’s reopening will also create local jobs and increase sales tax revenue for the City.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

The Council may approve the proposed lease, restore restaurant service and generate revenue for the Airport, or decline approval, which would require staff to reinitiate the Request for Proposals (RFP) process to identify a new tenant for the facility.

ATTACHMENTS AND/OR REFERENCES (IF ANY):

None.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Wednesday, November 5, 2025
TO: CITY COUNCIL
RECOMMENDED BY: DEPUTY CITY MANAGER MANNING

PUBLIC WORKS AND UTILITIES DIRECTOR LINDBERG
APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVAL AND AUTHORIZATION OF NEW AND REVISED PUBLIC

WORKS & UTILITIES JOB CLASSIFICATIONS
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council approve the proposed new job classifications and revised job descriptions in the Public Works & Utilities department for the following classifications, and associated proposed salary changes, where applicable:

Water Division:  Collection Systems Supervisor
 Water Lead Operator (new)  Wastewater Operations Supervisor  Water Operations Supervisor  Field Services Supervisor (new)  Water Division Manager  Solid Waste Operations Supervisor (new)  Water Services Superintendent  Landfill Supervisor (new)  Environmental Compliance Division Manager
The Personnel Commission considered these items at its October 29, 2025, meeting and recommends City Council approval. These job classifications, descriptions and salaries have been reviewed and approved by the bargaining groups representing these classifications.

BACKGROUND:

The City recently completed a City-wide class and compensation study. It included a review of existing job descriptions which recommends updated language to modernize and standardize certain requirements. The City is working through the proposed updating of all job classifications in the City with collaboration with departments, employees, and unions and approval of these will come before the City Council by department during 2026.

Page 90 of 245 ends

2 DISCUSSION:

The positions for consideration tonight reflect the high priority changes for the Pubilc Works and Utilities Department that are required to address critical staffing needs and improved departmental operations.

Additional job description updates for this department will come in the future as we work through the review process.

Water Division
Public Works is proposing modifications to the certification requirements for the Water Operations series and adjusting salaries accordingly. The adjustments to certification requirements and salary will help to attract and retain water operations staff to the City, and also provide better alignment internally between the Water Division and Wastewater Division.

1. Water Lead Operator (new)
This is a new position to create a lead operator to bridge the gap between the top-level technical staff and the step to full supervisor. This not only allows for career advancement, but also provides shift oversight redundancies when a manager or supervisor is not present. Adding this lead position in operations will keep the water operations series aligned internally with wastewater operations which has similar responsibilities and duties. The proposed salary is equivalent to the Wastewater Treatment Lead Operator. This classification will be represented by the MidManagement bargaining unit.

2. Water Operations Supervisor
A modification to the Water Operations Supervisor is recommended to require this position serve as the Chief Operator of the City’s water system as defined under the State Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water (DDW) requirements. This requires a T3 and D5 certification from DDW. The position currently only requires a D4. In recognition of this increased certification requirement and the added responsibility of acting as Chief Operator, it is recommended that the salary of this classification be increased by ten percent (10%). This is equitable to the Wastewater Operations Supervisor.

3. Water Division Manager
It is proposed that the Water Division Manager classification be revised to include recommended language updates from the class and compensation study consultant review to provide consistency across the City. The proposed changes also include language to add that T3 and D5 operator certificates are highly desirable but not required and also that this role may serve as Chief Operator. The current description makes no mention of water operation certificates and adding them as desirable but not required will provide internal consistency with the Wastewater Division Manager job description requirements. No change to compensation is recommended at this time.

Page 91 of 245 ends

3 4. Water Services Superintendent
The Water Services Superintendent job classification is an existing position currently titled Water Services Manager. The Water Services Manager position has been out of use for many years. The department would like to update this position and modify the title to Water Services Superintendent to better align with the Public Works Department structure, and also include language updates recommended by the class and compensation study consultant to provide consistency across the City. The salary is recommended to be adjusted to reflect a 10% increase above the Water Services Supervisor position which this position supervises. This position will be represented by the Management unit as are other superintendent classifications in the City.

Superintendent
$8,504.49/month $11,396.64/month $12,031.11/month 10% above Water Services Supervisor
Wastewater Division

1. Collection Systems Supervisor
This position is currently titled Collection Systems Manager. However, in order for it to better align with the Public Works and Utilities organizational structure as well as the job duties of the position, we are proposing to update the title to reflect this while updating the job description per the classification study. There is no proposed change to the current salary.

2. Wastewater Operations Supervisor
It is proposed that the Wastewater Operations Supervisor job description be updated to include the requirement of a Grade V certification and serve as the Wastewater Chief Plant Operator (CPO). While it was previously approved as an optional requirement of the position with certification pay if enacted, the City has now determined that it is important that we have an internal position that is required to have the certification to ensure we have an in-house CPO to avoid the need to contract out this position. As such, it is proposed that the salary of this position be increased by 10% to reflect the additional requirement and increased responsibility of a CPO.

Proposed salary-$12,952 per month. This is equitable to the Water Operations Supervisor.

Supervisor
$8,786.72/month $11,775.01/month $12,952.51/month 10% Increase Field Services Supervisor (new)
The existing Field Services crew is composed of a team of Utility Workers I, II, III and a Utility Crew Lead.

The Municipal Services Operations Manager position formerly served as the supervisor for the Field Services crew in addition to other fleet and facilities related responsibilities. This position has been vacant, leaving the crew without a dedicated supervisor. The Field Services crew and the City’s operations will be better served by having a dedicated Field Services Supervisor to oversee day-to-day operations under the direction of the Director of Public Works. The Field Services Supervisor job classification is proposed to be added to the mid-management group, consistent with other crew-level, day-to-day supervisors across public works divisions.

Solid Waste Operations Supervisor (new), Landfill Supervisor (new) There is currently only one job classification, Integrated Waste Supervisor, which covers two very distinct bodies of work in the solid waste division. The class and compensation study consultant recommended this job classification be divided into two new supervisor classes to better capture the work unique to the operations they each oversee. The Solid Waste Operations Supervisor oversees the solid waste collections vehicle drivers (Integrated Waste Workers). The Landfill Supervisor oversees the City’s landfill operations as well as the Waste & Recycling Center which manages the City’s recycling and household hazardous waste operations. With the creation of the Field Services Supervisor, these two supervisor positions are recommended to be tied to the proposed Field Services Supervisor classification as they have similar levels of responsibility and required certifications, and experience. Upon approval of these two new positions, the Integrated Waste Supervisor job description would be repealed.

Environmental Compliance Division Manager
The Environmental Sustainability Division Manager position currently oversees the City’s sustainability related programs including the Climate Action Plan, fleet and building electrification, as well as the City’s environmental and regulatory programs including stormwater compliance, wastewater source control, local hazard mitigation plan, and other similar programs. The updates recommended to the position include a title change to Environmental Compliance Division Manager to align the position more toward the main focus of required regulatory compliance and less focused emphasis on sustainability which requires Citywide policy-setting from City Manager’s office. Also included are updates to language recommended by the class and compensation study consultant to provide consistency across the City. No change in compensation is proposed.

$10,911.40/month $14,622.34/month $14,622.34/month No Change CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

The action being considered does not constitute a “project” with the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that is an administrative activity that will not result in a potentially significant impact to the environment.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This aligns with strategic plan number 7-efficient and high performing government by attracting qualified candidates and retaining great employees.
7-Efficient and High Performing Government
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The following new job classifications are proposed to be added; however, there is no request for additional FTE authorization as the majority of these positions are anticipated to be filled by existing staff resulting in a minimal impact on the current budget. The majority of these positions are funded by the utility enterprise funds which have available budget to absorb these minor increases. • Lead Water Operator (new)
• Field Services Supervisor (new)
The existing positions that are proposed to receive a salary increase result in a net increase of the following from their current rate. The Water and Solid Waste Enterprise Funds have sufficient budget to absorb these minor increases.
 Water Services Superintendent (formerly Water Services Manager) is an increase of 5.6% from the current salary range.
 Landfill Supervisor, Solid Waste Operations Supervisor (formerly Integrated Waste Supervisor) is an increase of 7.7% from the previous salary range to make it consistent with the new Field Services Supervisor position.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

The City Council may elect not to approve the new and revised job classifications and salary adjustments.
