Colusa, California 95932
Dear Judge Farrell,
As Foreperson of the 2024-2025 Colusa County Civil Grand Jury, I am privileged to provide you with the Grand Jury's Final Report.
On behalf of my fellow jurors, we appreciate the opportunity we had to serve Colusa County, and we approached our civic duty with integrity and determination to do our best as the watchdog for citizens of Colusa County.
As we moved forward through our tasks at hand, we learned a lot about the operations of our local government. We at times felt admiration at the dedication of public employees, and at times, frustration as we coordinated our schedules to that of individuals we spoke with. We are grateful for those who cooperated with interviews, giving their time and knowledge selflessly.
I have been honored to collaborate and work with each Grand Juror. We bonded quickly, and had many open discussions. I appreciate the different contributions each member brought to the table. Our diversity made us stronger.
I am extremely grateful to Nancy Newlin, Glenn Duncan, Barbara Gomes, Juliana Engrahm, Sara Sandoval, David Carter and Margie Pilgrim who went above and beyond to make sure we accomplished our goal. I am forever grateful to Senior Deputy County Counsel, Jennifer Sutton for keeping us on track as we encountered countless crossroads.
I extend my best wishes to the incoming 2025-2026 Grand Jury. I trust they will embrace the important role they face in ensuring our public entities are transparent and operating within the guidelines of the law.
Finally, I implore the court to better inform the public of the roles and responsibilities of the Grand Jury: what it is, and what limitations it has placed on it.
Best regards,
Michael Phenicie

GRAND JURY'S OATH
Each member of the Grand Jury has taken the following oath:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States and of the State of California, and all laws made pursuant to and in conformity therewith, will diligently inquire into, and true presentment make, of all public offenses against the people of this State, committed or triable within this county of which the Grand Jury shall have or obtain legal evidence. Further, I will not disclose any evidence brought before the Grand Jury, nor anything which I or any other Grand Juror may say, nor the manner in which I or any other Grand Juror may have voted on any matter before the Grand Jury. I will keep the charge that will be given to me by the court." (California Penal Code §911)
COLUSA COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT | 2024-2025 iv l
INTRODUCTION TO THE CIVIL GRAND JURY
The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution and the California Constitution call for Grand Juries, formed as part of the judicial branch of government. The Colusa County Civil Grand Jury consists of nineteen citizens of the county that range in diversity of men and women of various socioeconomic, ethnic, age and educational backgrounds. Together, the jurors act as the independent, fact-finding body under the advisory supervision of the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court, the District Attorney, County Counsel, and the State Attorney General.
Duties
The primary civil function of the grand jury is to review the operations of City and county government as well as other tax supported agencies and special districts. Based on these reviews, the grand jury publishes its findings, usually at the end of the term, in a Grand Jury Final Report. Based on its findings, the grand jury may recommend constructive action to improve the quality and effectiveness of local government.
The grand jury also investigates complaints from private citizens, local government officials, or government employees.
The Grand Jury is also authorized, but not limited to:
• Inquire into any charges of willful misconduct in office by public officials or employees. • Inquire into conditions of jails and detention centers.
Inspect and audit books, records, and financial expenditures of all agencies and departments under their jurisdiction, including special districts and non-profit organizations, to ensure that public funds are properly accounted for and legally spent.
Members of the Grand Jury are sworn to secrecy and most of the jury's work is conducted in closed session. All testimony and deliberations are confidential. Breach of confidentiality is a misdemeanor punishable under the penal code.
Reporting
No later than the end of the fiscal year, the Grand Jury must submit to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court a final report of findings and recommendations related to the jury's investigations of local government. Those Grand Jury reports that contain recommendations of the improvement of local COLUSA COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT | 2024-2025 government are submitted for response to the elected officials and the governing board of the agency that was investigated. Within ninety (90) days after the Grand Jury issues a report concerning a public agency, that agency's governing body must submit its response to the Presiding Judge on the findings and recommendations pertaining to matters under the control of the governing body. Any elective department head who has been asked to comment on a report must submit his or her comments within sixty (60) days to the Presiding Judge. Appointed department heads cannot be required to respond to Grand Jury recommendations, but the Grand Jury may request appointed officials to respond to recommendations. A copy of all the responses is placed on file with the Clerk of the Court and is provided to the Grand Jury.

CITY OF COLUSA INVESTIGATION (2024/2025)
SUMMARY
Following the direction of the past year's Grand Jury Reports, the Colusa County Civil Grand Jury, 2024-2025, under its statutory authority, has chosen to investigate the City of Colusa (City) procurement methods and procedures. The focus of the Grand Jury's investigation was to try to figure out the procedure the City uses and the payment process for Goods and Services. And to follow up on the City's implementation of past Grand Jury recommendations.
While the City has made some efforts to address deficiencies in its purchasing procedures in response to the recommendations of the previous Grand Jury, it has not implemented the internal control available to staff. The Grand Jury's review, which included interviews with City Council members former staff, and administrators, as well as an examination of the City's website, council meeting attendance, meeting notes, and video recordings revealed that locating specific votes, directives, and discussions is extremely difficult. This lack of accessible documentation presents a significant challenge for any oversight and highlights a broader issue of insufficient transparency.
BACKGROUND
In accordance with its statutory responsibilities and in continuation of oversight efforts from previous Grand Jury investigations, the 2024-2025 Colusa County Civil Grand Jury initiated an investigation into the procurement practices of the City. The focus of this investigation was twofold:
1. To examine and evaluate the methods and procedures used by the City in the procurement of goods and services.
2. To assess the City's progress in implementing recommendations issued in prior Grand Jury reports, particularly those concerning financial controls and transparency.
The Grand Jury sought to gain a comprehensive understanding of the City's current procurement procedures and payment processes. Grand Jury investigation included:
• Conducting interviews with City Council members, former and current administrative staff. • Reviewing publicly available records, including City Council meeting minutes and videos. • Attempting to navigate and extract information from the City's official website. • Attending City Council meetings to observe deliberations and decision-making processes.
Despite indications that the City has made some progress in addressing prior deficiencies, it became apparent that internal control mechanisms remain underutilized. Internal control mechanisms are the policies, procedures, and processes put in place by an organization to ensure the integrity of financial and accounting information, promote accountability, and prevent fraud. These mechanisms are a critical part of good corporate governance and risk management.
COLUSA COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT | 2024-2025 2 Moreover, transparency remains a critical concern. Public records of votes (not accurately depicted to reflect how each council member voted), directives, and discussions are difficult to locate or interpret, even for an oversight body such as the Civil Grand Jury. This lack of clarity and accessibility impedes the public's ability to hold local government accountable and undermines confidence in the City's administrative practices.
METHODOLOGY
Information for this investigation was sourced from the following:
• 2021-2022, 2023-2024 Grand Jury Report.
• City Council, Letter of Response 2023-2024 to the Grand Jury Report from 2020 to present.
City Council Meetings (Agendas and meeting notes).
• Interviews with current and former City Council members, staff and other elected City officials.
DISCUSSION
During the interviews conducted by the grand jury, several interviewees expressed concerns about the implementation of the City's current purchasing policy. These concerns included confusion among City staff regarding the policy's requirements, inconsistencies in how the policy is applied, a lack of transparency in purchase reporting, and inadequate oversight to ensure compliance with the City's adopted procedures. The information provided by these interviewees was consistent across all interviews in which such concerns were raised
Additional findings point to vague financial reporting, lack of sufficient detail, and largely unusable for informed decision-making. There is consensus that the process suffers from a lack of transparency regarding accounts, fund allocations, and balances. The Grand Jury found it odd that City Council members were not aware of what the annual City budget is, yet they are to approve on an annual basis.
Secondly, the City's reserve is reported as being close to the annual budget, which City Council members were aware of, confirmation is needed if this is following City guidelines.
Furthermore, our discussions point to a lack of signatory control for check writing. More than one nterviewee shared the case of a past City Council member (no longer seated) signing checks upo equest when another city official declined authorizatior Finally, upon further research and discussions with various staff members and officials, it was relayed that the City of Colusa was enrolled within CUPCCAA (The California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act). This is a state law enacted under Public Contract Code (PCC) Sections 22000- 22045. It provides a streamlined and standardized process for public entities in California (such as cities, counties, school districts, and special districts) to procure public construction projects in a more efficient and flexible manner. CUPCCAA allows participating agencies to perform certain public works projects with less formal bidding procedures, depending on the estimated cost of the project COLUSA COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT | 2024-2025 3 Once a public entity opts into CUPCCAA (by adoption of a resolution and notification to the State Controller), it can follow the specific procurement thresholds provided under the Act. • 1 - Projects $75,000 or less.
• May be performed by the agency's own workforce.
• Force account.
• Negotiated contract.
• Purchase order.
• NO BIDDING REQUIRED
• 2 - Projects between $75,001 - $220,000 Informal bidding process. • The agency must maintain a list of qualified contractors (bondable). • Notices are sent to contractors on the list or trade journals. • Bids are solicited informally (not publicly advertised). • Contracts awarded to the lowest responsive responsible bidder. • 3 - Projects over $220,000 Formal bidding process.
• Publicly advertised bids.
• Standard competitive bidding procedures must be followed. • Awarded to the lowest pre-qualified responsive responsible bidder.
Benefits for Public Entities.
• Faster project delivery (reduces delays on smaller projects by avoiding lengthy formal bid processes).
~ Lower administrative costs (informal bidding and force account work reduce overhead). • Increased flexibility (greater discretion on handling smaller projects). v Encourages local participation (maintained contractor lists promote engagement with local businesses).
Upon numerous requests for the City's submission, documentation could not be provided for CUPCCA representation. Through the Grand Jury's research on the State Controllers web site, we confirmed that the City of Colusa was in fact a CUPCCAA participant since 1991. To date, we still have not been provided with a copy of the City's Resolution passing this directive by the City Council.
COLUSA COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT | 2024-2025 4 From our interviews with current and former administration staff and current City Council Members, we found that no one was aware of the CUPCA guidelines and or procurement methods, including what CUPCCAA acronym meant.
Considering the issues identified in the 2021-2022 Grand Jury report concerning the purchasing policy and based on the investigation and interviews conducted by the current Grand Jury, it is concluded that the City of Colusa should undertake a thorough review of its current purchasing policy for City purchases in all departments. All necessary and appropriate revisions should be made to ensure that the expenditure on public funds for City purposes is conducted in a professional and transparent manner.
FINDINGS
The Grand Jury finds that.
F1 - The City has chosen to implement new purchasing procedures selectively; however, from information gathered within Grand Jury interviews, the current procedures are not in compliance with the applicable public procurement thresholds under CUPCCAA.
F2 - City of Colusa is registered as a CUPCCAA entity, but CUPCCAA procurement methods and thresholds are not being followed. Direction to City staff from management appears to be ineffectual.
F3 - The City's accounting and procurement procedures are outdated and inefficient. Current financial reporting is vague, lacks sufficient detail, and is largely unusable for informed decision-making. There is consensus that the process suffers from a lack of transparency regarding accounts, fund allocations, and account balances._
F4 - The City's check-writing and disbursement procedures lack a formalized approval process, and there is insufficient clarity regarding control measures and signatory authority roles, which raises concerns about accountability and oversight.
F5 - Lack of detailed minutes from City Council meetings and poor quality of video/voice recordings leads to further lack of transparency.
RECOMMENDATIONS
RI- The Grand Jury recommends adopting and making public, "City Accounting and Procurement Procedures" (Accounting Manual) as an adopted resolution.
R2 - The Grand Jury recommends that the City of Colusa visit CUPCCAA guidelines and implement a training procedure for all staff and mandatory training for new hires and include into your existing counting Directive. Training is available through the State Controllers website. A CUPCCA proved list of prequalified contractors (bondable) is to be created and posted on the City of Colu website. This will need to be maintained annually per CUPCCAA guidelines.
COLUSA COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT | 2024-2025 5 R3 - The Grand Jury recommends that the City of Colusa update accounting software to a more user- friendly software and applicable to a City Account system/process. Generate reports and present them monthly to the City Council (fund balances and forecast budget).
R4 - The Grand Jury recommends a process to be created and implemented as follows. • Creation and implementation of a "Check Request" form to accompany any purchase order request and processing of a check.
• Cost accounting (coding) for project/purchase reference • Mandatory 2 part signature.
• 1 - City Treasurer
• 2 - Mayor and/or Pro Tem Mayor
• January of each fiscal year, new updated signatory cards are filed and recorded with the bank of use. This needs to be done immediately and the removal of any past Council members that are presently assigned signatory capabilities.
R5 - The Grand Jury recommends the City Council approves and directs an upgraded Audio/Visual system be purchased and implemented within 3 months for improved public information and participation.

COLUSA COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT | 2024-2025 6 COLUSA COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT 2024 2025
COLUSA COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES
INTRODUCTION
One of the primary functions of the Grand Jury is to examine certain parts of government entities with- in the county. This investigation and reporting on local governments is sometimes referred to as the Grand Jury's "watchdog" function.
BACKGROUND
Colusa County Animal Control provides services to all of Colusa County. The City of Colusa and the City of Williams have contracts with the county to provide services within the cities. In addition to providing services to the cities of Williams and Colusa, it also serves the unincorporated areas of the county-Arbuckle, College City, Delevan, Grimes, Maxwell, Stonyford and Princeton.
This report is the result of a Grand Jury inquiry to check the operations and needs of the Colusa County Animal Control.
METHODOLOGY
The Grand Jury used the following resources to conduct its investigation:
Interview with Animal Control staff
Tour of the Animal Control facility
Animal Control Colusa County, CA official website
• Review of Animal Services data-Animal ID statistics, Citation Offense County Statistics, Case Statistics
Shelter Improvement List
Agreements with contractors, Dispatch Services
Scope of work for electrical upgrades
Best Friends Animal Society Grant Agreement
UC Davis Shelter Services Agreement
Budgets from 2023, 2024 and current
2012 Needs Assessment & Facility Program
2017-2018 Grand Jury Report--Colusa County Animal Control Services
DISCUSSION
Animal Control Services duties include rabies shots, spay and neuter, field calls, licensing and collec- tion of fees. Currently, Animal Control only accepts cash or checks. There is a need for an online pay- ment system, such as Docupet. It is anticipated that the majority of animal owners would pay online.
COLUSA COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT | 2024-2025 7 Grand Jury members had the opportunity to tour the Animal Control Services facility. Dogs that had been picked up in the county were located outside with very little shade. The employees were doing their best with limited resources. The office space is too small for more staff; however, they need more staff. There is grant money available for repairs and improvements; however, it is difficult to find any- one to do the repairs and improvements. One volunteer is currently lining up qualified people to pro- vide shade/shelter cover funded by FOCCAS. FOCCAS (Friends of Colusa County Animal Shelter) is a nonprofit whose purpose is to support the shelter by providing resources the county does not and raised money for the shelter. A van was recently purchased to transport animals to facilities such as UC Davis. Grant money was used to purchase this vehicle.
The Animal Control staff shared a number of needs that would improve the animal shelter. Equipment needs include a Tommy Gate Lift, a hydraulic lift to help transport larger animals. Updated electrical for the building is another identified need. Volunteers are needed to help put up kennels, foster animals, and transport animals for procedures such as neutering and spaying. Volunteers currently help maintain the shelter.
Shelter Pro is a software program used in the Animal Control Services office. Shelter Pro features in- clude incident reports, citation records, and bite case records. It has been used since 2020. An addi- tional reporting device is needed out in the field.
In 2012, a Needs Assessment & Facility Program was conducted. The Animal Control staff indicated that almost everything from the assessment is still relevant. According to the Needs Assessment, at least 6.53 employees were recommended to provide the services necessary for Animal Services. At the time of the assessment, Animal Services had one Chief Animal Control Officer, one Animal Control Officer, one part-time position, and two inmate workers. Currently, there is one Chief Animal Control Officer, two Animal Control Officers, and one inmate worker. Additional staffing would provide more coverage to accommodate the community and provide proper care for the animals.
In addition to the staffing challenges, the Animal Control staff has seen a dramatic increase in the level of expected care and live outcomes. A decade ago, 50% of the animals brought to the shelter were cared for. Currently, Animal Control is expected to care for over ninety percent of the animals. Due to this higher percentage, dogs are now held a lot longer; and the shelter is almost always at capacity.
California Food and Agricultural Code Sections 31108.3 and 31752.1 requires all animals that leave a shelter be microchipped. Animal Control does its best to ensure all animals are spayed and neutered before they leave the shelter. All of this takes a lot of time and money.
Additional needs include lowering the cost of euthanasia and alternatives, the reorganization of staff, hiring a kennel attendant, a part-time office person, and purchasing Pet Finder Helper which tracks in- formation. An additional veterinarian in the county would provide local care for the animals.
In 2023, there were 2000 incident reports. Approximately fifteen hundred animals were picked up, and 276 were returned to their owners. In 2024, there was an average of 27 dogs in the shelter at any given time. The number of dogs in the shelter varies from 18-35. According to NACA (National Animal Care and Control Association) recommends each dog be fed and cleaned at least 15 minutes per day.
This does not include walking the dogs, sanitizing carriers, assisting with vaccinating and microchip- ping.
COLUSA COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT | 2024-2025 8 The shelter is overcrowded, and there is a need to design a new layout.
A representative from FOCCAS was interviewed and spoke in support of additional staff members and volunteers to support the shelter. Also, FOCCAS is in support of hiring additional staff personnel and felt that a full-time person would allow officers to be able to go out into the county.
The Animal Shelter received a $150,000 donation from the Colusa Casino. A UC Davis grant was awarded, and it expires at the end of 2025. A Best Friends grant of $45,000 was received to pay for electrical work. Tractor Supply of Williams has donated a large quantity of pet food, both dog and cat.
FINDINGS
F1-The Grand Jury finds the Colusa County Animal Control is providing the best services possible with limited resources
F2-The Grand Jury finds the employees are dedicated and have a good attitude about everything.
F3-The Grand Jury finds that due to several grants being awarded, Animal Control purchased a van to transport animals. Grant money will also be used to pay for licensing software, repairs, and improve- ments to the shelter.
F4-The Grand Jury finds the Animal Control shelter is in need of several improvements such as replac- ing kennels, adding a shade structure, painting, repairs, etc.
RECOMMENDATIONS
RI-The Grand Jury recommends hiring additional staff and the creation of a foster/volunteer program.
R2-The Grand Jury recommends purchasing software to improve animal control services such as DocuPet, ShelterPro, and Pet Finder Helper.
R3-The Grand Jury recommends hiring a consultant to redesign a new layout or expansion for the ken- nels.

COLUSA COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT | 2024-2025 10 COLUSA COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT 2024 2025
INSPECTION OF THE COLUSA COUNTY JAIL
SUMMARY
The Colusa County Grand Jury (Grand Jury) participated in an inspection of the Colusa County Jail anil) with the la reins C Apard, 2025 h ai spires for rein fod stare healthcare for inmates.
The Jail facilities are outdated and present a potential safety risk to both inmates and staff. However, these issues will be addressed with the construction of the new Jail facility due to be completed May 2026 and populated June 2026.
The Grand Jury has prepared this report summarizing the findings of our Jail inspection and recommendations.
BACKGROUND
The Grand Jury is authorized to visit and inquire into the conditions of any public Jail within the county, as outlined in Section 919 (a) and 919 (b) of the California Penal Code. Inspecting the safety and security in Jails are the Grand Jury's priorities along with ensuring inmates are treated in a safe an humane manner. The BSCC is a state regulatory agency that establishes and oversees standards for the construction, operation, and administration of the county detention facilities. The Jail houses a maximum of 92 inmates, and the inmate population at the time of our inspection was 68. The existing layout and infrastructure of the Jail is not up to modern detention facility standards which could create safety risks to both inmates and Jail staff, although the facility does comply to all BSCC standards.
METHODOLOGY
Information for this investigation was sources from the following:
• Grand Jury Committee tour of the Jail facility
• Interviews with the County's Jail administration and staff • Review of Jail inspections conducted by the California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC)
Fire, health, and safety inspection reports
• Past Colusa County Grand Jury reports
Documents concerning Jail services available to inmates provided by the Jail, which included:
List of items available for purchase by inmates
List of items provided by the jail to inmates at no cost Pamphlet from Trinity Food Service
• Colusa County website (www.countyofcolusa.org)
• American Correctional Association (https://www.aca.org/) • Title XV operating standards
COLUSA COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT | 2024-2025 11
DISCUSSION
Pre-Inspection Interview
On April 22, 2025, Representatives of the Grand Jury and Jail administration held an introductory neeting. The meeting served to acquaint the Grand Jury with the overall operations of the Jail. At th ime of the pre-inspection interview, there were 62 inmates in the facility. This figure remaine unchanged during the follow-up in-person visit. During the pre-inspection interview, the issues of staffing, Jail facilities, general Jail operations, inmate services, and food were discussed. The current Jail was built in 1962.
Grand Jury Jail Inspection Tour
On April 29, 2025, the Grand Jury conducted an inspection tour of the Jail. The Grand Jury's focus was inmate processing in the Jail facility. The in-person tour consisted of inspection of the Jail; intake processing area, housing units, kitchen and food storage area, recreational area, educational programming rooms, medical office, laundry, and the Jail staff break room and commissary storeroom.
Meal Program and Food Facilities - Trinity Services Group, Inc. (Trinity) has been contracted to provide the food service for the Jail. Jail staff stated that they were overall pleased with the service that Trinity is providing. The Jail staff noted that the existing food service contract was renewed in 2024.
Inmates are served three meals per day (including one hot meal which is typically the dinner meal). All meals are delivered to and consumed in the inmate's cell. At the time of our visit there were 3 Trinity staff members and one inmate trustee preparing meals for the day. Special dietary needs are considered based upon inmate needs. Meal planning and preparation are developed in collaboration with the Medical, Jail and Trinity Services staff. Inmates can supplement the Jail provided meals with orders from the Commissary. These items can be ordered by the inmate or their family. Orders placed by Sunday evening are delivered directly to the inmate by Tuesday. In additional to food items, inmates can purchase an array of other items such as personal care items and print media. There is a $150.00 per week limit on commissary orders per inmate.
Recreation Program - The recreation section of the Jail is very small and offers very little space to provide adequate recreation space for inmates. The recreation space is a small square courtyard surfaced entirely with asphalt. The Jail is required to provide three (3) hours of recreation time per week, but it does provide a general recreation time each day ranging from 30 minutes to an hour. Each inmate is offered a specific time; however, the inmate may request an alternate time which Jail staff make efforts to accommodate. If the following time slot is empty, they allow for extra time for the current inmate in the recreation area. The construction of the new Jail facility will have additional recreation yards that are larger and more functional than those at the current facility.
Education Program - The Jail's educational facilities include a classroom and a well-stocked library.
On our visit we were able to see that volunteers had begun to reorganize the library, making it easier for inmates to locate specific materials. The educational program is staffed by a teacher from the Colusa County Office of Education who provides educational services to inmates on a voluntary basis. The COLUSA COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT | 2024-2025 12 educational programs include High School Diploma and GED programs, literacy programs, as well as other "life skills" training programs that can benefit the inmate when they transition out of the Jail. The Jail staff noted that outside organizations (i.e. religious, substance abuse, etc.) also provide educational programs in the Jail. The Jail's classroom or library does not currently have computer access to support the educational program; however, the new Jail may include infrastructure to allow for tablet access for inmates to support the Jail's educational programs. These tablets will also make it convenient for inmates to fill out forms and submit directly to different agencies. Tablets are currently available in the classroom more for accessing learning materials. Also noted was that the Sheriff's Office tries to make their graduations a family event. Celebrating inmates who have successfully completed a High School Diploma or GED program. On the date of our visit, we observed many certificates of completion from a vast range of inmates.
Medical Services - Colusa County has contracted with Wellpath for onsite medical services. There is currently one (1) full-time Registered Nurse (RN) who provides primary medical services for the inmates and a part time Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN). Nursing staff have an on-call doctor available for consultation and medical directives as there is no doctor on-site. If additional treatment is needed beyond what the Jail can provide, inmates are transported to the local hospital located in the County. If more extensive treatment is required for serious medical conditions, inmates are transported to nearby emergency medical centers. Psychological services are provided by the Colusa County Behavioral Health Services on an as-needed basis. The current medical facilities in the Jail are very small and create a significant challenge for the medical staff to provide services to the inmates. The new Jail will include medical facilities that are better suited to providing these medical services.
New Jail Project Update - The construction of the new Colusa County Jail is currently under way, with hopes of completion by May of 2026, and populated in early June of 2026. The new Jail is located behind the current Jail The current Jail will not be attached to the new Jail facility, as that would entail more extensive upgrades along with higher costs. There will be a breeze way between the two with approximately a 1-2-inch gap between the existing wall and the new facility. The current facility has a capacity of 92 inmates. The new facility will increase to a maximum of 96 meeting current Jail housing standards and regulations. It is anticipated that once the new Jail is constructed, the current Jail would not be used for housing inmates, but utilized for administrative offices, along with Jail-related operational uses. The new Jail construction was not in the scope of this visit, but may be for future Grand Juries.
FINDINGS
F1. The Grand Jury finds that Colusa County Jail administration and staff are operating the facility in an efficient and professional manner with the facility, tools, and staff at their disposal.
F2. The Grand Jury finds that while the Jail is currently functional, the outdated facilities and aged infrastructure does not meet modern correctional facility standards due to its design and layout, which poses a potential safety risk to inmates and staff. The current jail was built in 1962.
COLUSA COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT | 2024-2025 13 F3. The Grand Jury finds that the Jail is following its annual inspections and maintains an appropriate safety plan for all Jail staff and inmates.
F4. The Grand Jury finds that the current educational program could benefit from additional educational offerings and technology for the inmates, such as individual tablets for each inmate as well as expanded education opportunities, including more self help type classes to improve their lives upon leaving jail.
RECOMMENDATIONS
R1. The Grand Jury recommends that the County of Colusa continue to move forward as quickly as possible the existing plan to construct a new, modern Jail that incorporates up-to-date facilities, technology, inmate housing, and safety features.
R2. The Grand Jury recommends that the Jail invest more resources into its educational programming, including expanding the use of computer technology, to provide a more substantive level of educational options for inmates. Such as self-improvement classes and job skills.
R3. The Grand Jury recommends that the Jail Staff conduct regular reviews of the contracted meal service program to identify potential improvements, including soliciting feedback from inmates.

CALL TO ORDER: Mayor Belmontes-Leyva called the special meeting to order at 2:00 pm.
ROLL CALL: Council Members present, Kate Dunlap, Maria Belmontes-Leyva, Don Parsons, Alfred Sellers, Jr. and John Troughton, Jr.
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: Mayor Belmontes-Leyva invited everyone to join him in the Pledge of Allegiance.
PUBLIC COMMENT: No public comment at this time.
NEW BUSINESS:
1. Goal Setting Workshop
DISCUSSION: Mayor Belmontes-Leyva thanked everyone for being at the meeting.
City Administrator, Frank Kennedy explained that the City had done a survey and had received a total of 16 written responses and wanted to give the audience enough time to speak up if they had additional comments.
Mr. Kennedy suggested for City Council to go through their goals and at the end the survey and responses could be discussed
At this time Mayor Belmontes-Leyva asked Council to please share what their goals and started with Mayor Pro Tem Dunlap.
Mayor Pro Tem Dunlap expressed her goals and priorities as follows:
• Completion of the E Street project in a financial and suitable fashion by 2027.
Repair the most heavily traveled and damaged roads to B Road Grade or better. • Reopen Northbound Husted to truck route traffic so that trucks no longer in the school zone on Margurite.
• Update the General Plan so that it is current for the next 15 years. • Smart and sustainable economic vitality for current businesses within the City. • Seek more opportunities for midrange housing developments and economical workforce housing options.
• Foster professionalism amongst Council Members and staff; specially at meetings.
Mayor Pro Tem Dunlap would also like to have greater training opportunities for both Council and statt.
Council Member Parsons stated he would like to have monthly detailed budget reports from the Finance Director, including breakdowns of PG&E costs by City location. He expressed his concerns regarding the Bowling Alley and the deteriorating conditions of Husted Road.
Council Member Parsons stated he would like the Planning Department to be more proactive in outreach to companies regarding building opportunities, and for all owners of vacant lots within the City to address the housing shortage issue.
Mayor Belmontes-Leyva thanked Council Member Parsons and continued with her goals and priorities.
Mayor Belmontes-Leyva explained she would like to be transparent and have more communication and community engagement. She would like for the City to have a newsletter that includes project and department updates. She said she would like for the City's website to have what is new within the City. It should also include upcoming projects and events.
Mayor Belmontes-Leyva would like to have a capital improvement committee. It would be nice to come up with a list of projects. open and public to everyone involved here. We have a huge need for our roads and our infrastructure. Unfortunately, we also have a limited budget. Measure W was not passed. Maybe we can come up with a list of projects that can be done with the in-house equipment and staff that we do have, whether it's one block at a time or five blocks at a time. I'm not sure what we can do in one year, but I'd like for us to come up with a plan and share that with the public.
She explained that everyone had touched on Economic Development, but she would like to come up with strategies to attract more businesses in order to generate increased sales tax revenues.
Council Member Sellers, Jr., expressed his concerns and his specific goals and priorities as follows:
• Update on E Street revitalization.
• Truck Stop plans at the location of Denny's Restaurant. • Traffic intersection improvements, specifically at Margurite Street and Highway 20 (stop light installation).
• Road funding.
Council Member Troughton, Jr., stated City Council should prioritize fixing the issues the City has now and fix what can be fixed now instead of kicking the can down the road for future generations.
Council Member Troughton, Jr.'s specific goals and priorities are:
Infrastructure Repairs
• Streets and sidewalks
• Sewer Infrastructure
• Water Infrastructure which includes getting Well 11 operational One other item on Council Member Troughton, Jr.'s list of priorities is to address CaPERS unfunded accrued liability.
At this time Mayor Belmontes-Leyva thanked all council members for all of their input, then turned it over to the City Administrator.
City Administrator Kennedy said as he looked through both the City Council and the public's responses to our questions and what they'd like to see, there was one thing that was glaring to me, and obviously roads are there, we all know about that, but the one thing that came very glaring to me was information communications. There are, for instance, especially economic development and new businesses that might be coming to town but maybe even as far as even into housing, there are things happening that staff can't always talk about. We can't provide all that information to the public until we have received an application. Then made public generally, first of all, at a planning commission meeting. A lot of that is proprietary. If a new business was looking at purchasing a lot, maybe a competitor would come in and buy a lot underneath them.
I can tell you in kind of general terms that we are working on three different developments that are about to be approved. Some of the things we've talked about, like Maverick has made an application.
There's no mystery about Maverick wanting to come. But there's some other things in the background that are going on that we really can't announce publicly because there might be some delays and changes as far as a couple people spoke about Denny's and the truck stop that's supposed to be coming out there we are actively working with them and we're trying to get them across the finish line.
Monday morning, we're having a meeting regarding the E Street project, we have the 90% plans. The 90% plans are probably close to $2 million over budget. So, we're going to move some things out.
We're going to have to get some direction from city council, what they'd like to see in and out.
The survey that was done there were 16 total responses received. 11 mentioned roads, not everybody mentioned roads which was rather surprising. Mr. Kennedy continued to discuss all the responses that were received.
After further discussion City Administrator thanked City Council. Mayor Belmontes-Leyva also thanked all Council Members and the audience that was in attendance.

5. Receive Treasurers Investment Report and monthly Register for March 2025.
DISCUSSION: Finance Director Rex Greenbaum summarized the monthly report and register for the month of March 2025.
Council Member Dunlap asked for clarification regarding the statement in the report and monthly register that reads: Based on current budget projections, the city's cash liquidity is sufficient to cover the expenditures anticipated for the next six months. Mr. Greenbaum responded by stating that even if the E Street project were fully funded, the City still maintains sufficient cash reserves. He noted that the reserves currently equate to a little over 30%, which remains above the 25% threshold previously deemed sufficient by City Council. Although the reserve level has decreased, it is still within an acceptable range based on past Council direction to continue providing community services.
Mayor Belmontes-Leyva asked Mr. Greenbaum whether the six-month cash projection referenced the current date of May 21st or was based on data from March 31st. Mr. Greenbaum responded that the projection is reflective of the current date and has been updated through the end of April at the request of the City Administrator. He noted that the figures remain nearly identical, with only a minor change of approximately $20,000 to $30,000.
City Administrator advise council that the Treasures report was just a snapshot they would discuss the shortfall more in detail in the next item.
ACTION: None at this time.
6. Receive and Accept the Financial Reports for the General Fund, Water Enterprise Fund and Sewer Enterprise Finds as March 2025.
DISCISSION: Finance Director Greenbaum provided an update on the General Fund's financial status, noting that the City is currently projecting a shortfall of approximately $436,000 in sales tax revenue.
He explained that last month, the shortfall was estimated at just over $100,000, but updated monthly analyses have shown increased volatility, particularly influenced by gas tax fluctuations. He emphasized that the City's sales tax revenues remain highly volatile and serve as a key indicator of fiscal trends.
Mr. Greenbaum referenced the General Fund Financial Status Report, which is provided quarterly to the City Council, and noted that the original budget included $6.2 million in revenues and $6.67 million in expenditures. In the previous quarterly report, revenues and expenditures were generally on target with the adopted budget, and financial performance appeared stable at that time.
Mr. Greenbaum explained that the City began the fiscal year with a projected budget deficit of approximately $473,000. Due to ongoing revenue shortfalls, particularly in sales tax and transient occupancy tax (TOT), the City is now trending toward a total annual deficit of just over $900,000. He noted that all revenue figures are being continuously updated and emphasized the importance of preparing for the upcoming fiscal year. Looking ahead to FY 2026, Mr. Greenbaum projected a 6.4% decrease in total revenues compared to FY 2025, primarily due to an overall economic slowdown, with the most significant declines seen in TOT and core sales tax revenues.
City Administrator Kennedy asked Mr. Greenbaum to clarify the projected budget shortfalls. He referenced the $909,216 deficit stated in the staff report for the current fiscal year (FY 2025) and questioned whether there was an additional $400,000 shortfall projected for the next fiscal year, or if the total projected deficit for FY 2026 was actually $1.1 million. He acknowledged some confusion and asked for clarification on how these figures aligned Mr. Greenbaum explained that the original budget shortfall of approximately $475,000 comes from combining two key figures: the initial two-year budget deficit of $325,000 and the $127,000 + $22,000 (totaling $149,000) mid-year increase in funding provided to the Fire Department. Together, these total around $475,000, which accounts for the originally projected deficit. Mr. Greenbaum continued by clarifying that the $475,000 deficit was the starting point for Fiscal Year 2026. However, for the current fiscal year (2025), if spending continues at the current rate, the City is projected to end the year with a deficit of approximately $900,000 most of which has already been incurred.
Mr. Kennedy said he was trying to simplify the information because it can be hard to follow. He clarified his understanding by stating that the projected $909,000 deficit for the current year is made up of three components: the $325,000 structural shortfall, the increased funding to the Fire Department, and the loss of other revenues such as sales tax and TOT. He then confirmed with Mr. Greenbaum that this understanding was correct.
Mr. Greenbaum provided a detailed explanation of the projected budget outlook. He clarified that the $909,000 deficit for Fiscal Year 2025 is a snapshot of the current year, ending June 30, 2025, and is composed of the $325,000 structural shortfall, increased funding to the Fire Department, and declines in revenue sources like sales tax and TOT.
Looking ahead to Fiscal Year 2026, since no corrections have been made to the structural deficit, the starting shortfall is again approximately $325,000, plus $147,000 in additional fire related cost totaling nearly half a million dollars. On top of that, an additional request of $74,848 was factored in.
For revenue projections, Mr. Greenbaum estimated a modest increase in sales tax revenues using a methodology that projects a 200% increase over current year trends, which he believes is reasonable not overly conservative. However, despite slight increases in licensing fee revenues and some one time adjustments, significant losses are anticipated. This includes a projected $371,000 deficit in sales tax revenue including Bradley Burns, a $140,000 reduction in CFD tax revenue, and a $30,000 increase in the general fund portion of the new auto contract.
Adding all these factors together, Mr. Greenbaum stated that the projected deficit for Fiscal Year 2026 is $1,170,146, assuming current expenditure levels remain unchanged.
Council Member Parsons asked Mr. Greenbaum if any adjustments were made in the budget to account for the loss of Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue, knowing that the Ramada now SPARKS would be closed for a year.
Mr. Greenbaum responded that he believed the closure of the Ramada now SPARKS likely contributed approximately $30,000 to $35,000 of the overall TOT revenue shortfall.
Mr. Kennedy then reminded staff and the City Council to be cautious when discussing individual properties or businesses due to the proprietary nature of that information.
Council Member Troughton, Jr. expressed a desire to find alternative solutions to address the deficit beyond implementing furloughs and closures. He stated that he believes the City does not have a revenue problem, but rather a spending problem. He emphasized that there are other areas where cuts could be made to close the budget gap. He also voiced concern that the proposed furloughs would place significant and unprecedented stress on City employees. 3 Mayor Belmontes-Leyva stated to Mr. Troughton that they were not looking for solutions for this problem at this time. prompting Council Member Troughton, Jr. to clarify that he was simply explaining an alternative approach. The City Attorney then reminded the Council that the agenda item was only to receive and file the financial status report, with no action or direction allowed. Council Member Dunlap followed up by confirming with the attorney that while they are not permitted to discuss solutions at this time, they are allowed to ask questions related to the report.
Mayor Belmonte-Leyva questioned how the City ended up with a significant deficit despite knowing the financial trends. She pointed out that the current year's $909,215 deficit includes the existing $325,000 shortfall, increased fire costs, and the loss of sales tax revenue. She asked why, given this knowledge, a recommendation was made to pay off the unfunded CaPERS liability. She noted that the City had over $6 million in general fund reserves at one point but is now facing a projected $1.17 million deficit for 2026. She asked the Finance Director to explain how this situation was not anticipated, stating that the Council may not have supported paying off CaPERS had they known the extent of the upcoming financial issues.
Mr. Greenbaum responded by explaining that the total CalPERS unfunded liability payment was $4.69 million, with $2.89 million coming from the general fund. He argued that paying off the unfunded liability actually created long term savings and flexibility. Had the City not made the payment, the starting deficit would have been about $75,000 higher due to rising contribution rates. By budgeting future payments at a flat rate based on 2025 levels and freezing the payback fund, the City avoids a projected increase of $70,000 annually in 2026 and beyond.
He noted that over a two-year period, this decision results in a savings of roughly $224,000 per year or around $600,000 total compared to continuing with rising UAL contributions. While the payout reduced available reserves, it prevented future increases that would have deepened the deficit. He emphasized that this was a permanent solution offering long-term flexibility.
Mr. Greenbaum also addressed concerns about the growing deficit, stating that during his first 13 years, he consistently presented balanced budgets. However, the last two fiscal years 2024 and 2025 began with structural deficits decisions he did not agree with but that were ultimately approved.
Council Member Dunlap asked Mr. Greenbaum which areas of spending he disagreed with that contributed to the structural deficits. Mr. Greenbaum responded that he opposed the significant COLA increases such as 7%, 4.9%, and even 4% because he believed the City's revenues weren't growing fast enough to support them. He noted that historically, the City's revenue growth has been slow and couldn't keep pace with those rising costs. He acknowledged that Council Member Dunlap had also voiced similar concerns at the time. Mr. Greenbaum emphasized that expenses have grown faster than revenues and that it's important to confront financial challenges directly. He reiterated that paying off the UAL reduced the deficit by $2.8 million and avoided an additional $600,000 in future costs, providing more long-term financial flexibility.
Council Member Dunlap asked Mr. Greenbaum to clarify his understanding of the unfunded CalPERS liability (UAL) and when the decision to pay it off was first discussed, as he did not have a record of it.
Mr. Greenbaum explained that the UAL results when CalPERS' investment returns fall below the expected 6.8% rate of return, creating a funding shortfall that accrues over time. Over the past 30 years, this built up into a significant liability. The City paid off the full amount $4,576,000 as of February 28.
He noted that UAL costs have steadily increased over the years, starting at just over $100,000 five or six years ago, and growing significantly. By July 2024, the City's UAL payment had risen to over $300,000, with the next scheduled payment due July 1, 2025 exceeding $370,000. Contrary to earlier projections that the payments would level out over time, they continued to rise, largely due to high interest rates charged by CaPERS 6.8%, which Mr. Greenbaum pointed out is much higher than typical financing options.
He emphasized that most of the annual payments were going toward interest, not principal. By paying off the UAL now, the City avoids those future interest payments, saving money long-term. He described the payoff as a no brainer, stating that despite the upfront $2.89 million general fund cost, the City will see full savings within five to six years comparing it to paying off a mortgage early for significant financial benefit.
Council Member Troughton explained that the City had been reviewing the UAL issue for several years. He noted that about three to four years ago, the liability briefly declined, and during that time, they evaluated different repayment options, including a 25-year scenario. That analysis showed the City would pay $7 million in interest on an $11 million total debt if it continued with scheduled payments. He emphasized that by paying off the UAL now, the City avoids the upcoming $370,000 payment due July 1, effectively saving that money. Although $2.8 million came from the general fund, he stated that amount will be recovered within four to six years, which is why the City ultimately chose to pay off the liability.
Council Member Dunlap referenced the February 19, 2025 City Council meeting and specifically item 6 on the agenda, which involved approving the full payoff of the CaPERS unfunded liability (UAL).
She quoted from the staff report that stated paying off the UAL would eliminate interest expenses, result in long-term savings, stabilize pension costs, and strengthen the City's financial position.
While she acknowledged that Mr. Greenbaum had addressed questions about interest savings and cost stabilization, she expressed confusion about how paying off the UAL actually strengthened the City's financial position, as she does not currently feel that it has. She also pointed to item 5 from that same meeting, which included a proposed schedule for preparing the two-year operating and capital budgets for FY 2026 and 2027. He noted that this proposed budget did not mention any deficits or financial shortfalls, and questioned why those issues were not included at the time.
Council Member Dunlap expressed concern and frustration over the timing of the deficit revelation.
She pointed out that the proposed schedule included multiple Finance Committee meetings from February through June 2025, and questioned why, despite all those meetings, the severity of the deficit is only now being brought to light. She hoped the April 25, 2025 Finance Committee meeting may have addressed it but emphasized that, based on the meeting schedule, this significant budget shortfall feels like it came out of nowhere. She questioned how a previously acknowledged structural deficit could have grown so drastically into a multimillion-dollar problem without earlier, clearer communication.
Mr. Greenbaum responded by explaining that the full extent of the deficit became clear toward the end of April 2025, as he was updating revenue projections and analyzing the budget. He acknowledged that earlier estimates did not capture the recent sharp decline in revenues particularly sales tax, which dropped more than expected. Initially, the shortfall was projected at around $100,000, but it later grew to a $400,000 loss, contributing significantly to the overall $900,000 deficit.
He explained that sales tax revenues are volatile and can swing unpredictably, especially since much of it is received after the fiscal year ends. He noted that the recent economic slowdown was a factor and said similar financial pressures will likely be seen in other cities, not just Williams.
Mr. Greenbaum reiterated that the City had already entered Fiscal Years 2024 and 2025 with structural deficits, which were further increased by mid-year budget augmentations. He emphasized that while the current deficit is concerning, paying off the CaPERS UAL was still a sound decision because it reduces long-term liabilities, saves on high interest costs, and offers financial flexibility. Even after the UAL payment, he noted the City maintains over a 30% reserve above the previously discussed 25% threshold which he believes justifies the decision and positions the City better in the long term.
Mayor Belmonte-Leyva asked Mr. Greenbaum how often he reviews the sales tax forecast, noting he mentioned he had just looked at it a month ago. Mr. Greenbaum responded that he reviews it every month, as sales tax is a major economic indicator. Typically, it fluctuates by only $20,000 to $30,000, but this time there was a significant drop in one of the payments. While there's always a chance of a rebound in the next cycle, he said that seems unlikely given the broader economic slowdown.
He acknowledged being previously labeled as overly conservative in his revenue projections, but defended his caution, especially in hindsight. He reiterated that had it been solely up to him, the City would not have started the past two to three years with structural budget deficits. He clarified that the budgeted general fund deficit for FY 2024 was $145,000, which later grew to $325,000, and then to nearly $500,000 after mid-year increases.
Mr. Greenbaum also expressed frustration over public perception particularly media claims that the City was "flushing cash" saying such narratives are misleading and affect how residents and officials view spending. He emphasized that the deficits were budgeted during a time when revenues were still increasing, not during a sudden downturn, and those deficits stemmed from deliberate policy decisions, not unexpected revenue losses.
Mayor Belmonte-Leyva pointed out that the City's regular financial reports state the cash liquidity is sufficient to cover expenditures for the next six months, and asked Mr. Greenbaum to clarify if that was still accurate. Mr. Greenbaum confirmed that the City does, in fact, have enough liquidity to cover not just six, but the next 12 months of expenses. However, he emphasized that while the cash flow is currently stable, budgeting ongoing structural deficits is not a sound or sustainable practice.
The Mayor sought clarification, asking directly if he had said the City could cover 12 months, since the reports say six. Mr. Greenbaum reaffirmed that the City does have enough liquidity to cover the next year, based on inflows and current projections. But he warned that despite this, the City has been budgeting deficits for the past couple of years, and those deficits have grown. He concluded by stating that rising costs particularly cost of living increases have far outpaced revenue growth, which is the core issue driving the financial imbalance.
Mayor Belmonte-Leyva expressed confusion and concern about receiving conflicting information regarding the City's cash liquidity whether it covers six months or twelve. She emphasized the importance of being provided with accurate and consistent figures.
Mr. Greenbaum clarified that the statement about six months of cash liquidity is standard, required legal language used in financial reporting. It's meant to confirm that the City has at least six months of liquidity. He explained that the actual liquidity is higher currently enough to cover approximately twelve months but the six-month language is simply a baseline assurance, not a limit.
Mayor Belmonte-Leyva emphasized that the financial report should provide clear and accurate information. She pointed out that the current language states the City anticipates having enough liquidity for the next six months it does not say "at least" six months. Since Mr. Greenbaum had just stated the City has enough liquidity for twelve months, she requested that future reports reflect accurate and consistent information, without ambiguity or conflicting numbers.
Mr. Greenbaum clarified that the statement about having sufficient liquidity for six months is accurate and standard. He emphasized that it's not meant to imply an exact duration but simply to confirm the City can meet its obligations for at least six months. While he had mentioned earlier that the City currently has enough liquidity to cover closer to 12 months, the six-month benchmark is a conservative, legally required threshold to ensure financial stability.
He stressed that if the City does not rebalance its budget and eliminate structural deficits, it could eventually fall below that six-month liquidity standard putting the City in a financial "red zone." Maintaining at least six months of liquidity is especially important given how and when the City receives major revenues like property taxes. The six-month guideline is used to ensure there's a buffer to keep operations running smoothly between revenue cycles.
City Administrator Kennedy sought to clarify the liquidity discussion by asking Mr. Greenbaum to confirm the projected general fund expenditures for the upcoming fiscal year estimated at around $6 million. Mr. Greenbaum confirmed that figure.
Mr. Kennedy then pointed out that, based on Greenbaum's earlier report, the City currently has $3.1 million in general fund reserves after paying off the CaPERS UAL. He suggested that, while possibly oversimplifying, this reserve amount represents roughly half of the City's annual general fund expenses, which supports the claim that the City has at least six months of liquidity.
Mr. Greenbaum agreed and elaborated that while that's a simplified view, the City also receives ongoing revenues and has receivables expected throughout the year that support monthly operations.
He explained that looking ahead six months, the City can anticipate both revenues and expenditures, which allows them to assess whether they're at risk of shortfalls.
City Administrator Kennedy asked for clarification regarding large upcoming public works projects, specifically noting that projects like the E Street Project and Well 11 typically require the City to front significant costs sometimes up to $1 million before receiving reimbursements from state or federal agencies. He wanted to confirm whether any such pending payments might impact the City's liquidity, particularly from the general fund
Mr. Greenbaum confirmed that, at this point in time, there are no pending large public works payments that would require pre-funding or impact the general fund. Kennedy acknowledged the clarification and noted it's an important consideration when evaluating liquidity, as large projects can temporarily tie up substantial funds.
Council Member Dunlap raised a concern about perceived inconsistency in how budgetary increases are treated in the City's financial reporting. She referred to the Summary of Significant Changes to the General Fund specifically the increased allocations to the Fire District in Fiscal Years 2025 and 2026which are listed as major contributors to the over $1 million deficit.
She contrasted this with the February recommendation to pay off the CaPERS UAL, which involved a mid-year budget increase of over $4.5 million. Dunlap acknowledged the rationale for the UAL payoff but questioned why that substantial increase was recommended and supported, while the fire-related increases also necessary in her view are now being cited as contributing to the deficit. She expressed concern that this selective framing creates confusion and doesn't provide a consistent or fair accounting of what's driving the budget shortfall.
Mr. Greenbaum explained that the items contributing to the current deficit such as the Fire District increases—are structural costs, meaning they recur annually and continue to impact the budget year after year. In contrast, the CaPERS UAL payoff was a one-time expense funded from reserves. He emphasized that this one-time use of funds was strategically aimed at achieving long-term savings and improving the City's financial flexibility.
He pointed out that the UAL payoff already saved the City over $300,000 in its first year and is expected to result in full payback within six years. Without that payoff, the City would have had to come up with an additional $600,000 over the next two years just to meet rising UAL obligations.
Mr. Greenbaum concluded that while the payoff doesn't solve the structural deficit, it buys the City time to address ongoing issues without having to make drastic cuts immediately. The action provided both immediate savings and future flexibility, allowing the City to work toward structural balance with less financial pressure.
7 City Administrator Kennedy summarized the discussion by stating that the UAL payoff involved some short-term financial pain, but it was ultimately the right move for the City's long term structural health.
By avoiding long-term interest payments, the decision sets the City up for future financial stability. He asked Mr. Greenbaum to confirm this understanding.
Mr. Greenbaum agreed, adding that had the City not paid off the debt, it would have had to cover the rising costs over the next six years an amount that could have grown significantly. Now, with the debt eliminated, the City avoids that burden and gains more financial flexibility moving forward.
ACTION : . None at this time.
7. Waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance 270-25, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Williams amending chapter 13.08 of the Williams Municipal Code relating to Sewer Use and Finding the Action Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.
DISCUSSION: Public Works Director Colt Esenwein presented the second reading of an ordinance and explained that, if approved, it would take effect 30 days from now and trigger implementation steps related to updated water treatment regulations.
He informed the Council and public that part of the revamp includes sending formal notices to approximately 20 property owners with non conforming water treatment systems. These notices would remain on record for six months. However, he emphasized that while the ordinance allows six months for compliance, the City is not requiring immediate upgrades within that time frame, acknowledging that water system improvements can be costly.
He recommended updating the notice language to clarify that the City is willing to work with property owners who are actively seeking solutions. This includes assisting with system redesigns in the most cost effective way possible and potentially entering into agreements to help defer or manage the financial burden.
He concluded by expressing a commitment to supporting businesses and residents trying to comply.
ACTION: City Council Member Sellers, Jr. made a motion, seconded by Council Member Troughton, Jr., to waive the second reading of Ordinance 270-25, an Ordinance of the City council of the City of Williams amending chapter 13.08 of the Williams Municipal Code Relating to Sewer Use and Finding the Action Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.

PUBLIC HEARING
8. Hold a Public hearing and Adopt Resolution 25-05, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Williams California, Establishing Fees for the Waste Discharge Permits, Inspections and Notices and Finding the Actions Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.
Public Hearing was opened at 7:17pm
Public Hearing was closed with no public comments at 7:20pm DISCUSSION: Mr. Esenwein provided a summary of the public hearing, explaining that it was being held to establish new fees following the Council's adoption of previous ordinance. He stated that the proposed tees include those for initial or moditied permits, annual permits to cover routine inspections, and additional inspection costs for businesses that are not in compliance such as those failing to maintain clean kitchen practices or not pumping their systems as required. He also mentioned fees related to violation corrections and follow-up inspections.
Colt emphasized that the intent of these fees is to ensure that the cost of maintaining the City's system is not passed on to all subscribers, but rather placed on those responsible for the issues.
Mr. Kennedy noted that, as previously mentioned by Mr. Esenwein, the proposed fees are intended to recoup costs from those generating industrial discharge rather than distributing the expense across all ratepayers. He then asked Mr. Esenwein to estimate the expected revenue from the implementation of these fees, especially in light of recent discussions regarding declining revenues.
Mr. Esenwein responded that the estimated revenue from the new fee structure is between $20,000 and $30,000 in the first year, though the actual amount will depend on the number of inspections required. He noted that mobile food vendors, such as taco trucks and food trucks, will also need to apply and comply, as the City is responsible for tracking where their waste is being disposed of, even if it is outside the City's system. He added that compliance efforts are still underway and will affect how revenue develops over time.
In response to a follow-up question from Mr. Kennedy regarding the number of industrial users in the city, Mr. Esenwein estimated that there are approximately 60 users, though only about 20 are currently in compliance.
ACTION : City Council Member Dunlap made motion, seconded by Council Member Parson, to waive and Adopt the second reading of Resolutions 25-05, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Williams California, Establishing Fees for the Waste Discharge Permits, Inspections and Notices and Finding the Actions Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.

Similar to the Lighting and Landscape District, this action ensures proper assessment of properties within the CFD for stormwater management. He noted that currently, only one property- Tractor Supply—is being assessed, as it is the only developed parcel in the district. As new building permits are issued within the CFD, those properties will be included in future assessments. He also mentioned that TDA, the firm managing the levy process, has agreed to keep their fees below the total recovery amount, ensuring the City does not incur additional costs. He emphasized this is a routine, legally required annual process.

CITY OF WILLIAMS DATE: July 16, 2025
City Council ITEM #: 6.
Agenda Report CATEGORY: New Business
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2026 and 2027 PRELIMINARY OPERATING BUDGET BACKGROUND:
In accordance with Williams Municipal Code section 3.20.010, the Fiscal Year 2026 and 2027 preliminary budget is presented to City Council for review and approval.
DISCUSSION
Staff is presenting to the City Council a preliminary two-year budget for review and input by Council.
This incorporates changes from guidance provided by Council and the related approved negotiations with City Staff to resolve general fund shortfalls.
The bulk of the City's funds come from the General Fund, Water Fund, Sewer Fund, street allocations, Measure G (½ cent sales tax) and law enforcement. The bulk of the City's fiscal resources are spent on water and sewer utility operations, street and building operations, police services, fire services and administration.
Personnel Changes
The staffing changes in the current budget includes the following:
Elimination of Public Works Director Position
Freezing Vacant Police Officer Position
Shift of 2.5 facility maintenance worker employees for Sewer Collection Operations • Budgeting of temporary employee for Sewer Collection Operations.
General Fund Overview
As detailed at Exhibit A, the General Fund has a projected working capital reserve of $4,300,000 which is net of the approximate remaining $1,200,000 in funding set aside for the E Street project. When we net off the projected Street Fund deficit of $1,420,000, we have a net General Fund working capital reserve of $2,880,000. This equates to a General Fund reserve of 50.5% of the budgeted expenditures for Fiscal Year 2026.
As currently evidenced in the budget at Exhibit A, the preliminary budget projects balanced general fund budgets with a surplus of $41,347 and $40,355 in FY2026 and FY2027. These balanced budgets were made possible with negotiations with employees including furloughs and elimination of the July 1, 2025 3% cost of living adjustment. The General Fund reductions taken to resolve our shortfalls are detailed on the attached Balancing the Budget spreadsheet.
Actions taken by City Council were needed to enable the City to retain its structural integrity. Continued prudent financial measures including reigning in future cost of living adjustments (COLA's) are needed to enable the City to retain its long-term fiscal integrity.
CalPERS Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) Contribution Update This past fiscal year, the City successfully paid off its existing CaPERS UAL, eliminating a significant long-term financial burden. As part of our fiscal strategy, we had planned to continue making annual contributions to proactively address any future UAL layers as they arise.
However, in order to balance the City's budgets for FY2026 and FY2027, we are temporarily suspending the planned contributions from the General Fund resulting in savings of $224,178 in both FY2026 and FY2027. It is important to note that this suspension is only possible because of the City's decisive action to fully pay off the existing UAL.
Going forward, we must remain fiscally disciplined and resume budgeting for UAL contributions in future years to avoid the accumulation of new, large UAL layers with CaPERS. Maintaining this commitment will be essential to protecting the City's long-term financial health and avoiding unpredictable pension cost spikes.
General Fund Revenues
As evidenced at Exhibit D, FY2026 general fund total revenues are projected to come in 7.4% or $456,496 lower than that budgeted for FY2025. Our actual revenues for FY2025 are projected to come in lower than budgeted by $526k in sales taxes and $145k in transient occupancy taxes. These decreases are attributed to a slowdown in the economy and are also impacted by changes in gasoline prices.
Both Property taxes and motor vehicle in lieu taxes have seen increases attributed to rising property values.
For FY2027, staff is projecting overall revenues to increase by 2% which is in line with the City's historic average growth rate. Looking back to prior growth years, it is important to note that the higher growth rates in FY2022 and FY2023 were partially attributed to stimulus spending by the Federal government.
Without this stimulus, revenue growth is expected to be in line with lower historical averages.
While we have seen growth attributed to new development, it is important to note the overall long term slow growth of our general fund revenues. While the cost of living and expenditures go up every year, it is important for the City to be prudent with our budgets to maintain our structural integrity.
General Fund Expenditures
Budgeted expenditures in FY2026 totaling $5,702,810 were $970,996 lower than the $6,673,806 budgeted in FY2025. The necessary expenditure reductions made and summary of significant changes are detailed in the attached Balancing the Budget spreadsheet.
City-Wide Overview
The City-Wide Fund Summary is evidenced at Exhibit A. All of the funds except for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) fund and Water Enterprise Fund are structurally balanced. With the CDBG fund, we are projecting to spend down all of our fund balance in the next two years on the rehabilitation of the old bowling alley property.
Water and Sewer Enterprise Funds
Projected revenues for the Water and Sewer Enterprise funds take into account the scheduled increases for FY2026 and FY2027. The utility rates are projected to increase by 2% annually. Starting on December 1, 2020, and annually thereafter, the annual increase will be tied to the Consumer Price Index West Urban Area not to exceed 2%. As detailed at Exhibit A, while the Sewer Enterprise Fund is structurally balanced, the Water Enterprise Fund has projected deficits of $92,937 and $156,476 in FY2026 and FY2027. Costs have outpaced the annual 2% limit on our revenue increases resulting in the current shortfalls. To balance the Water Enterprise Fund, the City will need to either consider a Proposition 218 measure to increase utility rates or reduce planned expenditures.
In FY2026, the City's Sewer Enterprise operations will undergo significant change. We have entered into an agreement to accept and treat wastewater trucked in from Arbuckle. This new service is projected to generate $600,000 in annual revenue. To support this expanded operation, we will be reallocating 2.5 Facility Maintenance employees from the General Fund to the Sewer Enterprise Fund. A temporary employee is also planned to be utilized to support the increased workload. With this new activity, we are projecting associated costs with utilities, sludge hauling and chemical usage to increase by approximately 25%. Even after accounting for these increases, the Sewer Enterprise Fund is projected to realize annual operating surpluses of $170,996 and $163,374 in FY2026 and FY2027. While we believe this new operation will be sustained based on regional needs, there is currently no contractual guarantee requiring the County to continue utilizing our facility. As such, we recommend a cautious approach to expenditures until long-term demand is confirmed or contractually obligated.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that City Council review and approve the preliminary budget and provide input and guidance for any recommended changes. To balance the Water Enterprise Fund, the City will need to either consider a Proposition 218 measure to increase utility rates or reduce planned expenditures.

Dear Ms. Ramsaur,
I am writing to express my keen interest in serving on the Williams City Planning Commission. My ten years of service in the United States Air Force cultivated a strong foundation in leadership, strategic planning, and collaborative team building, skills | believe would be invaluable to the Commission's endeavors. This experience instilled in me a deep understanding of complex challenges and the importance of effective community engagement.
For the past five years, I have been a proud resident of Williams and have grown to deeply appreciate its unique character and the ongoing efforts to enhance its future. The Commission's focus on sustainable development, infrastructure improvements (such as road renewal projects), and the preservation of our community's cultural heritage strongly aligns with my personal values and aspirations.
I am confident that my background, combined with my commitment to Williams, would enable me to contribute meaningfully to the Commission's work. I am eager to collaborate with fellow commissioners, city staff, and the community to shape a prosperous and vibrant future for our city.
I welcome the opportunity to discuss my qualifications in further detail and learn more about the Commission's current priorities. You may reach me at [email protected] or 347-854-8266.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Caleb Bediako
