City Council ITEM #: 2.
Agenda Report CATEGORY: Old Business
SUBJECT: Treasurer's Investment Report and Monthly Register - October 2025 BACKGROUND:
The attached report provides the most current information on the City's investments and the check register report for October 2025. The source of this information is provided monthly by various financial institutions. The deposits and investments described in the attached report comply with the City's Investment Policy.
Also included is a monthly update of the City's Sales Taxes and Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) projections which can have a material impact on the City's annual general fund revenues. The attached Fiscal Year 2026 analysis has been updated to include receipts received through the end of November 2025.
SALES TAX UPDATE:
Through the end of November 2025, the City has received three sales tax payments so far this year representing one quarter or 25% of the annual sales taxes. The first two payments of every quarter are advance estimates provided by the State and do not yet reflect actual sales activity. For this reason, estimates are revised quarterly. Early estimates can fluctuate significantly due to the volatility of sales tax revenues and the continually changing economic environment. Based on the sales taxes received through November 2025, sales tax revenues are currently trending right on budget with projections trending only $2,460 higher than budget.
TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAXES UPDATE:
These revenues have been updated to include actual receipts through the end of November 2025. The current forecast is based on projections for each hotel adjusted for the varying number of payments received to date. TOT revenues are currently trending right on budget with projections only $642 higher than budget. This revenue source can fluctuate from month to month depending on travel activity and local lodging demand.
DISCUSSION:
The City invests its surplus funds in various financial institutions in accordance with the City's approved investment policy. The City's surplus funds are held in the Local Agency Investment Fund and California CLASS which are part of a Pooled Money Investment Accounts (PMIA) with other participating government agencies.
Based on current budget projections, the City's cash liquidity is sufficient to cover the expenditures anticipated for the next six months.
The attached report provides the most current information on the City's investments. The deposits and investments described in the attached report comply with the City's Investment Policy.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends that City Council accept the monthly Treasurer's Investment and Register Reports.

CITY OF WILLIAMS DATE: December 10, 2025
City Council ITEM #: 3.
Agenda Report CATEGORY: Old Business
SUBJECT: ZONING CODE UPDATE (ZOA 2025-03)
BACKGROUND
In 2014 Williams Fire Protection Authority received the grant deed for a parcel of land at the corner of Ella and Husted to create a new Fire Station on the East side of town to service both sides of the city more efficiently. The project is now in the design phase but and in completing he General Plan and Zoning Consistency review I noticed that Police and Fire Stations are not currently permitted in the Business Park Zone.
DISCUSSION
The City's current zoning allows for Fire Stations in all Zones of the City except for Urban Residential High Density and Business Park. Since the new Fire Station has been in discussion and planning since 2014 it is my assumption that Fire Stations absence in Table 17.01.030.04 is an oversight. Furthermore, the California Highway Patrol Station, a type of police station, is located in the Business Park zone less than 700 feet from the proposed Fire Station.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This zoning amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 15061 (b) (3) of the CEQA Guidelines (General Rule). The proposed Ordinance amendment is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) due to the fact that future consideration of project proposal shall be subject to independent environmental review, the scope of which is unknown at this time.
STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Waive the second reading and adopt Zoning Ordinance No. 275-25, a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to allow the addition of Fire Stations in the Business Park (BP) Zone.

City Council ITEM: 4.
Agenda Report CATEGORY: Old Business
SUBJECT: Ordinance Requested to Change "City Administrator" to "City Manager" BACKGROUND:
The title of City Administrator has become antiquated and no longer correctly conveys the scope of the responsibilities of the position.
DISCUSSION:
As we started the process of hiring a new person to be the City Administrator, it became obvious that the title was no longer being used in most smaller cities; the title of City Manager more accurately defines the broader scope of the position in our city. Accordingly, it was decided to use this new title in advertising for the position in hopes of attracting better candidates for Williams and to proceed with the process of changing the title simultaneously. This ordinance change is part of that process.
FISCAL IMPACT:
As the position name change will happen over time, minimal expenses to change documents, etc. are expected.
RECOMMENDATION:
Waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance 276-25, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Williams amending the Williams Municipal Code, changing the title of the position of City Administrator to City Manager.
Submitted by: Chris Miller, Acting City Administrator

WHEREAS, on November 19th, 2025, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing at which all persons wishing to testify in connection with this ordinance were heard and the ordinance was comprehensively reviewed.

SUBJECT: Authorization of Community Choice Aggregation Program in the City of Williams Background
Pioneer Community Energy (Pioneer) is a Joint Powers Authority formed between the Counties of Placer and El Dorado, the Town of Loomis, and the Cities of Auburn, Colfax, Grass Valley, Lincoln, Nevada City, Placerville, and Rocklin.
Pioneer is a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) Program authorized under Assembly Bill 117 (2002). The CCA provides local control over the electricity supply with primary objective of providing competitive rates to the residents and businesses within its member jurisdictions. CCA Programs allow local governments to procure electricity generation on behalf of the residents and businesses at wholesale market rates while still utilizing the existing transmission and distribution infrastructure of utilities like PG&E.
Pioneer purchases the electricity supply (generation), and PG&E transmits and delivers the power through PG&E's infrastructure (poles and wires). PG&E continues to own, operate, and maintain its distribution infrastructure, as well as to provide meter reading and billing services for Pioneer's customers.
Pioneer is governed by its Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, including Amendments Nos 1 through 7.
Discussion
In October 2025, Pioneer staff made a presentation to Colusa County Board of Supervisors about the benefits of joining a CCA in general and Pioneer specifically. An Impact Assessment Study ("IAS") was authorized. The Couty requested the City of Williams be asked to participate in the study as well.
The purpose of an IAS is to determine projected financial outcomes related to the expansion of Pioneer's service territory. The study provides information regarding energy products pricing, customer energy usage, and forecasting. The results of the IAS are a key decision point in the expansion process. The study will examine 24 consecutive months of data for residents and businesses, for consumption patterns and electricity load requirements to forecast future consumption and costs.
Pioneer recently completed an Impact Assessment Study for potential expansion into the Cities of Colusa and Chowchilla and County of Madera, that had positive results. When comparing current rates to projected power supply costs at time of launch, that study supported expansion in October 2027.
Pioneer staff anticipate findings to be similar for the County of Colusa and the City of Williams, which are both included in the on-going IAS currently underway. Once complete, the IAS will be brought back to both Pioneer Board of Directors and City of Williams City Council for review. If the results are positive, as anticipated, the Pioneer Board will consider approving Colusa County's membership in Pioneer contingent upon certification of an amendment to its implementation plan by the California Public Utilities Commission.
Based on the Recent study for the Cities of Colusa and Chowchilla and County of Madera, Pioneer Cities of Chico, Oroville, Live Oak, Sonora, and Yuba City; and the Town of Paradise. On October 14, the Pioneer Board approved the process of amending the JPA to allow the Counties of Colusa and Madera, along with Cities of Chowchilla, Colusa and Williams to join the October 2027 expansion effort contingent upon positive IAS results.
Significant benefits to joining Pioneer include:
• Stable and Competitive Rates - From 2018 through 2024, Pioneer customers have saved $108 million, with an additional $37 million in anticipated savings in 2025. • Local Control - As a member of the JPA, each City will have one seat on the Pioneer Board of Directors. This person is appointed by the Council from the elected officials. All meetings are open to the public and every representative's voice will be heard. • Legislative & Regulatory Influence & Advocacy - Pioneer is an advocate for the member agency residents and businesses by working with California State Legislature, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), the California Energy Commission, and PG&E on behalf of customer interests and concerns.
• Local Jobs and Power Supply Resources - Pioneer supports local business and prioritizes local power contracts, goods and services. The projected savings for Pioneer customers will result in additional spending by residents and businesses, further stimulating the local economy. • Programs - The new members will have an impact on energy efficiency programs that are developed and the ability to customize programs to meet their specific needs.
If proposed resolution and ordinance are approved by the City of Williams City Council, Pioneer plans to submit an Implementation Plan detailing Pioneer's expansion and planned service launch to the CPUC in December 2025 upon positive IAS results. The optimal time for a service launch into expansion territories will likely be October 2027, which allows Pioneer's procurement team the time needed to secure power resources while remaining in compliance and avoids the costly summer months. Pioneer will work with the City on a comprehensive education and outreach campaign to ensure a strong public understanding of expansion into each area.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact was a cap of $15,000, split between Colusa County, City of Colusa and the City of Williams to fund half of the cost of the Impact Assessment Study, with Pioneer funding the other half.
There is no risk to the General Fund as the cost to serve the new members is funded through Pioneer rates.
ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE
The adoption of the Resolution does not constitute a project and is therefore exempt from the requirements of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines. Further, the action is exempt from CEQA, as there is no possibility that the resolution or its implementation would have a significant effect on the environment. (14 Cal. Code Reg. § 15061(b)(3)).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City of Williams City Council waive the second reading and adopt the Pioneer Community Energy Ordianance authorizing the implementation of a Community Choice Aggregation
program in the City of Williams under Public Utilities Code section 366.2; and adopt the Resolution requesting membership in Pioneer Community Energy and approve the Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE WILLIAMS CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMMUNITY CHOICE AGGREGATION PROGRAM IN
THE CITY OF WILLIAMS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WILLIAMS, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I:
The City Council of Williams hereby finds and determines as follows:
On September 24, 2002, the Governor of California signed into law Assembly Bill 117 (Statute 2002, Chapter 838; see California Public Utilities Code section 366.2; hereinafter referred to as the "Act"), which authorizes any California city or county, whose governing body so elects, to combine electricity load of its residents and businesses in a Community Choice Aggregation program ("CCA"). The Act expressly authorizes participation in a CCA through a joint powers authority; and
2. On September 9, 2015, the County of Placer and the City of Colfax entered into the original Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the purpose of establishing the Sierra Valley Energy Authority as a joint powers authority under the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, Government Code section 6500, et seq.; and
3. The California Public Utilities Commission certified the "Implementation Plan" of the Sierra Valley Energy Authority, confirming compliance with the requirements of the Act; and On February 22, 2017, the Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement became effective and authorized the Cities of Auburn, Lincoln, Rocklin, and the Town of Loomis to become Voting Members of the Sierra Valley Energy Authority and established a CCA program within the jurisdictions of all Voting Members; and
5. Resolution No. 2017-3 of the Sierra Valley Energy Authority approved a name change from Sierra Valley Energy Authority to Pioneer Community Energy ("Pioneer"), as it is known today; and
6. Subsequent amendments to the Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement have authorized the following to become voting members: Counties of El Dorado, Butte, Glenn, Nevada, Sutter, and Tuolumne; and the Cities of Placerville, Grass Valley, Nevada City, Chico, Live Oak, Orland, Oroville, Sonora, Willows, Yuba City, and the Town of Paradise.
Currently electricity is generated and provided to the residents of Williams by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) with no alternative provider for the City of Williams. 383830.3
8. The City of Williams finds it important that its residents, businesses and public facilities have alternative choices to energy procurement beyond PG&E.
9. In October 2025 the City of Williams and Pioneer began an impact assessment study to consider the financial feasibility and assessed risk of the addition of the City of Williams into the service area of Pioneer.
10. Contingent on completion of those discussions and study, the City of Williams finds joining Pioneer will provide financial and other advantages to businesses and residents of the City.
11. The Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement requires a prospective member to individually adopt a resolution of intent expressing desire to become a member of the Joint Powers Authority and adopt an ordinance electing to implement a CCA within its jurisdiction under California Public Utilities Code section 366.2.
12. The City of Williams finds that adoption of this ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines, as it is not a "project" since it has no potential to result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment. (14 Cal. Code Reg. § 15378) Further, the ordinance is exempt from CEQA, as there is no possibility that the ordinance or its implementation would have a significant effect on the environment. (14 Cal. Code Reg. § 15061(b)(3).)
SECTION II:
The City Council of the City of Williams authorizes the implementation of a Community Choice Aggregation program within the areas currently served by PG&E through participation in the Community Choice Aggregation program of the Pioneer Community Energy Joint Powers Authority, contingent on all of the following: (a) completion of the impact analysis by Pioneer, (b) adoption of a resolution of intent by the City of Williams expressing the City's desire to become a member of Pioneer, (c) approval by the City of Williams of Pioneer Community Energy's Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, as amended, (d) approval by the Governing Board of Pioneer Community Energy of the membership of City of Williams and (e) the certification by the California Public Utilities Commission of the Implementation Plan filed by Pioneer to include the City of Williams.
SECTION III:
The provisions of this Ordinance are separate and severable. If any provision of this Ordinance is for any reason held by a court to be invalid, the City Council of the City of Williams that it would have passed this Ordinance irrespective of the invalidity of the provision held to be invalid and such invalidity shall therefore not affect the remaining provisions of this Ordinance which shall remain in full force and effect or the validity of its application to other persons or circumstances.
383830.3
SECTION IV:
This Ordinance shall take effect and be in full force thirty (30) days from and after introduction and adoption, and before the expiration of fifteen (15) days after its passage it shall be published once, with the names of the members of the Board of Supervisors voting for and against same in the newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the City of Williams. 383830.3

SUBJECT: City Development Fee Programs Annual Report for the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 BACKGROUND:
In 1987, the California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 1600 (AB 1600), also known as the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code, Sections 66000 et seq.) that governs the establishment and administration of development impact fees. A development impact fee is a monetary exaction other than a tax or special assessment that is charged by a local agency to new development for the purposes of defraying costs of public facilities needed because of impacts created by the new development.
Government Code 66006(b) states the following requirements as pertains to Development Impact Fees:

E. An identification of each public improvement on which fees were expended and the amount of expenditures on each improvement including the total percentage of the cost of the public improvement that was funded with fees.
F. An identification of an approximate date by which the construction of the public improvement will commence if the local agency determines that sufficient funds have been collected to complete financing on an incomplete public improvement and the public improvement remains incomplete.
G. A description of each interfund transfer or loan made from the account or fund, including the public improvement on which the transferred or loaned fees will be expended, and, in the case of an interfund loan, the date on which the loan will be repaid, and the rate of interest that the account or fund will receive on the loan.
H. The amount of refunds made (as pursuant to GC 66001 e) due to sufficient funds being collected to complete financing on incomplete public improvements, and the amount of reallocation of funds made (as pursuant to GC 66001 f) due to administrative costs of refunding unexpended revenues exceeding the amount to be refunded.
Government Code 66001(d) (1) states the following requirements as pertains to Development Impact Fees:
For the fifth fiscal year following the first deposit into the account or fund, and every five years thereatter, the local agency shall make all of the following findings with respect to that portion of the account or fund remaining unexpended, whether committed or uncommitted:
A. Identify the purpose of how the fee will be utilized.
B. Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it is charged.
C. Identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing in incomplete improvements.
D. Designate the approximate dates on which the funding referred to in subparagraph C is expected to be deposited in the appropriate account or fund.
Findings/Analysis

1. DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE REPORT
The California Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code Sections 66000 et seq.) mandates procedures for administration of impact fee programs, including collection and accounting, reporting, and refunds. Regarding reporting requirements, the Mitigation Fee Act requires annual reporting for each impact fee fund, and a separate five-year reporting process. This report meets the requirements described in 1.1 Annual Report, below. A combined Annual and Five-Year Report will be provided for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2029.
1.1 Annual Report
Section 66006 (b) (1) requires that once each year, within 180 days of the close of the fiscal year, the local agency must make available to the public the following information for each separate account established to receive impact fee revenues:
1. A brief description of the type of fee in the account or fund; (report section 2)
2. The amount of the fee; (report section 2 and attachment)
3. The beginning and ending balance of the account or fund; (report section 3)
4. The amount of the fees collected and interest earned; (report section 3)
5. Identification of each public improvement on which fees were expended and the amount of the expenditures on each improvement, including the percentage of the cost of the public improvement that was funded with fees; (report section 4)

City of Williams
Annual Development Impact Fee Report
1.2 Five-Year Reporting Requirements
Prior to 1996, The Mitigation Fee Act required that a local agency collecting impact fees was required to expend or commit impact fee revenue within five years or make findings to justify a continued need for the money. Otherwise, those funds had to be refunded. SB 1693, adopted in 1996 as an amendment to the Mitigation Fee Act, changed that requirement in material ways.
Now, Section 66001 (d) requires that, for the fifth fiscal year following the first deposit of any impact fee revenue into an account or fund as required by Section 66006(b), and every five years thereafter, the local agency shall make all of the following findings for any fee revenue that remains unexpended, whether committed or uncommitted:
1. Identify the purpose to which the fee will be put;
2. Demonstrate the reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it is charged;
3. Identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing of incomplete improvements for which impact fees are to be used;
4. Designate the approximate dates on which the funding necessary to complete financing of those improvements will be deposited into the appropriate account or fund.
Those findings are to be made in conjunction with the annual reports discussed above. If such findings are not made as required by Section 66001, the local agency could be required to refund the money in the account or fund, per Section 66001 (d).
Once the agency determines that sufficient funds have been collected to complete financing on incomplete improvements for which impact fee revenue is to be used, it must, within 180 days of that determination, identify an approximate date by which construction of the public improvement will be commenced (Section 66001 (e). If the agency fails to comply with that requirement, it must refund impact fee revenue in the account according to procedures specified in Section 66001 (d).

CITY OF WILLIAMS DATE: December 10, 2025
City Council ITEM #: 7.
Agenda Report CATEGORY: New Business
SUBJECT: Designation and Sale of Surplus Equipment
BACKGROUND:
The City's stewardship of its resources requires the management of equipment it acquires for public use.
Although Municipal Code does not specifically directly address the disposition of surplus equipment, State law requires that when such equipment becomes worn out, unproductive or otherwise unsuitable for use, the legislative bodies for local agencies must formally declare such property as surplus, and market it under open, competitive bidding conditions, with sale income flowing back as revenue for the public benefit.
Only when the surplus is determined by public sale to have little or no market value, may the City then pursue other methods of liquidation, such as donating the surplus to local non-profit organizations (including school districts, service organizations, etc.) for the general municipal welfare or benefit. State law otherwise prohibits otherwise gifting such equipment to any individual or entity.
DISCUSSION:
The City has identified surplus equipment which is detailed in the attached list. It includes older items no longer in use by the City. The vehicles included on the list are either not working or not worth keeping due to exorbitant maintenance costs. All of the equipment listed is expected to have minimal market value and would only continue to deteriorate and take up space if retained.
Staff would like to have the equipment auctioned with an auction house such as BidCal, Putman Auctioneers, or Richie Brothers. The auction company will be selected depending on the cost of their services. The City will also take into consideration hauling costs and whether auction house is willing to auction the surplus items.
FISCAL IMPACT
If approved, City Staff would haul the equipment to the auction house sites. The funds received would go into the vehicle internal service fund which the City utilizes for equipment purchases.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends City Council designate the equipment detailed on the attached list as surplus property and authorize the City Administrator to sell the equipment in the manner prescribed above. If the City is unable to sell the assets, authorize the City Administrator to dispose or scrap of any unsold equipment.

Agenda Report CATEGORY: New Business
SUBJECT:
Authorize the Acting City Administrator to Draft a Check in the Amount of $313,149 for PG&E for the Design, Installation, and Maintenance for the E Street Project Street Lighting.
BACKGROUND:
The projected costs associated with the E Street Project have grown significantly since its inception. In consultation with City Staff and our contracted engineering firm, it appears that significant savings can be made by utilizing PG&E.
DISCUSSION:
It was first discovered that by using wooden poles instead of steel poles installed by the project contractor would be $765 (steel poles) or $610K for wooden poles, a savings of $155K. Then the conversation moved to having PG&E perform the design, installation and maintenance in lieu of the city contractor. The contractor's estimated cost as shown above was $610K and PG&E cost was $313,149 - a savings of $297K or a total cost reduction of $452K (49%)! The one disadvantage to using PG&E is their requirement to have a one-time payment of the $313,149 before the design begins. After installation, the city would pau only monthly power for the lights.
FISCAL IMPACT:
A savings of $297K
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Acting City Administrator to draft a check in the amount of $313, 149 payable to PG&E for the design, installation and Maintenance for the E Street Project Street Lighting.
