NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, I, Evan Hutson, Mayor of the City of Willows and on behalf of the Willows City Council and the Citizens of Willows, do hereby proclaim December 7, 2025, as Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day in the City of Willows and encourage all residents to join in honoring and remembering the heroes of Pearl Harbor and the enduring spirit of the American people.

Agenda Item #6c
_____________________________________________________________________ Date: November 25, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Letter of Support – 2026 Stanford Local Governance Summer Institute Recommendation:
Authorize the City Manager to submit a Letter of Support (Attachment 1) as part of her application to the 2026 Stanford Local Governance Summer Institute.
Rationale for Recommendation:
The City Manager wishes to apply to the 2026 Stanford Local Governance Summer Institute, and the application requires a Letter of Support from the governing body.
Background:
The City Manager wishes to apply to and participate in the 2026 Stanford Local Governance Summer Institute. The application requires a Letter of Support from the governing agency/body stating that they will sponsor the City Manager’s time in the program by granting time off from normal City Manager duties to dedicate herself to the seminar during the week of July 19-24, 2026. The application is a competitive process. If accepted, the City Manager would then apply for a grant to cover the cost of her attendance. If she was unable to secure a grant, she would withdraw from the Institute (as the cost of the one-week training is $8,500).
Discussion & Analysis:
The City Manager is currently an International City/County Management Association (ICMA) Certified City Manager Candidate and, as part of the certification process, she is required to complete 40 hours of professional development per year (e.g., attending classes, training, conferences). Last year, she only completed eight hours of training due to the City’s budget and staff’s focus on the passage of Measure I. As a result, the City Manager is currently lacking the necessary professional development training to complete the certification process. The Institute’s 40-hour qualifying program would go a long way toward completing the hours necessary for certification.
Please note, the Letter of Support is not a commitment of funding from the city for the program. It is only a commitment to allow the City Manager the time to participate in the Institute during the work week if accepted to the program.
Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:
Not Applicable.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact by approving the letter of support.

We hope she’s selected to participate in the Program! Thank you.

Evan Hutson, Mayor
(on behalf of the Willows City Council)

Subject: Notice of Completion for the Lift Station Rehabilitation Project Recommendation:
Approve Resolution XX-2025 (Attachment 1) accepting the improvements for the Willows Lift Station Rehabilitation Project and authorizing the Notice of Completion (Attachment 2) to be filed for the project.
Rationale for Recommendation:
The project has recently been completed by SnL Group, Inc. to the City’s satisfaction. The total construction cost was $1,699,266.79.
Background:
This project includes critical upgrades to piping, pumps, electrical, instrumentation, and control systems at the City’s five sanitary sewer lift stations. On September 18, 2024, the City opened public bids for the Lift Station Rehabilitation Project. The low bidder was SnL Group, Inc. The City Council awarded the project to SnL Group, Inc. at their Council meeting on October 22, 2024. Work began in July 2025, and the work was completed in November 2025. The project is under the approved budget in the amount of $32,211.21.
Based upon the satisfactory completion of the work, Staff is recommending that the City Council accept the improvements and authorize the City Engineer to file the Notice of Completion.
Discussion and Analysis:
Construction for the Lift Station Rehabilitation Project has been completed, and all work has been inspected and verified to meet the contract requirements. The improvements addressed critical operational and reliability needs across the City’s five lift stations and were finished within the
approved budget. With construction complete, the final step is for the City Council to formally accept the improvements and authorize the filing of the Notice of Completion, which will begin the statutory closeout period and allow the City to finalize the project.
Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:
The completion of this project aligns with Council Priority of Infrastructure Maintenance- Goal 1: Invest in Deferred Maintenance.
Fiscal Impact:

Subject: Notice of Completion for the Emergency Library Roof Failure Project Recommendation:
Approve Resolution XX-2025 (Attachment 1) accepting the improvements for the Emergency Library Roof Failure Project and authorizing the Notice of Completion (Attachment 2) to be filed for the project.
Rationale for Recommendation:
The project has recently been completed by Modern Building, Inc, to the City’s satisfaction. The total cost of this project was $112,041.00.
Background:
This project was in response to the February 4, 2025 Willows Library partial roof collapse. Due to the emergency nature of the work, staff solicited informal bids from three contractors for the work, but did not have time to go through a formal bidding process. The City received two responses to the informal bid solicitation, and the City Council awarded the contract to Modern Building, Inc. at the May 13, 2025 meeting.
Based upon the satisfactory completion of the work, Staff is recommending that the City Council accept the improvements and authorize the City Engineer to file the Notice of Completion.
Discussion & Analysis:
The project began in June 2025 and the work was completed in November 2025. The project schedule had to be extended due to unforeseen circumstances during the beam installation.
The project required three change orders (CCO1, CCO2 and CCO3) primarily due to unforeseen conditions, as follows: CCO 1 was $6,780 and included reshoring the temporary beam, needed due to the delay in start of construction due to the long lead time to obtain the glue-lam beam. CCO2 in the
Agenda Item #6e
amount of $29,149 due to the discovery of a previously unknown material in the roof, which required additional demolition and a new support column. CCO3 in the amount of $9,062 to remove and rewire three electrical conduits in conflict with removal of the existing beam and installation of the replacement glulam beam and repair an industrial switch in the storage needed to restore lighting.
As the project is an emergency repair, it is expected the additional cost will be reimbursed by insurance.
Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:
As this project is an emergency, it does not fall specifically under any of the Council Priorities and Goals Fiscal Impact:

Design: $ 9,390.00

Construction Mgmt./Insp $ 5,000.00 $ 12,500.00
Total $ 82,107 $ 142,874.88
Due to the emergency nature of this project, the City’s insurance carrier has been contacted and an adjuster has made an assessment of the situation. The City will provide expense information to the insurance carrier and it is anticipated that all costs will be covered by insurance.

Authorize the City Manager, or her designee, to execute a contract with Healthcare Strategist Solutions, in partnership with Glenn County and the City of Orland, for the purpose of performing an Emergency Medical Services System Assessment in an amount not to exceed $48,000.
Rationale for Recommendation:
With Council’s prior authorization, staff issued and circulated a Request For Proposal (RFP) and received two bids. After review, Healthcare Strategist Solutions was unanimously selected as the lowest, responsible bidder; however, the proposal cost was $3,000 more than all three jurisdictions authorized. Therefore, staff is requesting an additional $1,000 (per jurisdiction) in order to award the contract.
Background:
Due to Glenn Medical’s Closure and the anticipated further reductions in Emergency Medical Services, Council unanimously approved for staff to partner with Glenn County and the City of Orland to seek bids for a consultant to perform an assessment of the Glenn County Emergency Medical Services system at the September 9, 2025 City Council meeting.
Discussion & Analysis:
At the conclusion of the bid circulation process, two responsive bids were received: Healthcare Strategist Solutions - $48,000 (Attachment 1) and AP Triton - $ 98,000. Fire Chiefs Monck and Chaney, along with Dr. Garrison, reviewed the submitted packages, scored them, and unanimously selected Healthcare Strategist Solutions as the lowest, responsible bidder. Staff vetted the company’s references and now recommend executing an agreement.
At the September 9, 2025, meeting, the Willows City Council authorized up to $15,000 of General Fund monies toward this effort to be combined with an additional $30,000 from Glenn County and the City of Orland for a total of $45,000. Approving this item will also authorize an additional $1,000 from the
City of Willows. Each involved entity would now be responsible for up $16,000 each. Staff will not execute final agreements until the City of Orland and County of Glenn also approve the $1,000 increase in expense.
Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:
This item is consistent with Priority: #1 Fiscal Stability and Priority #3 Public Safety.
Fiscal Impact:
Approval of the award of contract and revised budget will add an additional $1000 to the total project cost above and beyond the total amount that was already approved at the September 9, 2025 City Council meeting.

2. Direct or Indirect Conflict of Interest
A statement that the proposing party has no direct or indirect conflict of interest.
Our firm has no direct or indirect conflicts of interest that would impact our ability to serve Glenn County or the Sierra-Sacramento Valley EMS (S-SV EMS) Agency. Our business tenet is that we can only objectively help government clients if we do not serve the private ambulance companies that may want to bid on ambulance contracts. This mantra has served us well for 28 years.
3. Prior and Current Relationships with Emergency Ambulance Services A statement detailing all prior and current relationships with emergency ambulance services in California.
We do not have any current or prior relationships with for-profit, private emergency ambulance services due to our ethical stance of serving only government clients. Therefore, we have no biases or conflicts that would prevent us from completing a comprehensive and impartial assessment of the EMS system. This business premise has resulted in no protests or lawsuits filed after selecting a provider.
Our company history does include prior consulting services for two government-owned ambulance providers.
1) Oak Valley Hospital District Ambulance – This hospital-owned service in Stanislaus County struggled with operational and leadership issues. Our team assisted with maintaining ambulance readiness, response time compliance, and interim leadership while recruiting a new director.
2) Ridgecrest Regional Hospital District Ambulance – This Kern County ambulance service requires periodic competition to maintain its service area. Our team assisted the hospital staff with proposal preparation, and the service was successfully awarded a renewed contract.
The only contact we have with fire departments and private ambulance providers is during the assessment of our consulting projects. This includes interviews, association meetings, county meetings, and ride-alongs. It is part of our approach to understanding the existing system, identifying future goals of the EMS stakeholders, and developing an EMS service model that values all the system's needs and objectives.

4. Executive Summary
A brief executive summary.
Our team of experts is interested and qualified to offer the consulting services you desire. We agree to remain flexible to accommodate changes during the project.
Our firm is uniquely qualified for the following reasons:
▪ We just completed a comprehensive EMS system assessment for Western Placer County. It was delivered on time, on budget, and received excellent feedback from S-SV EMS. ▪ Lou Meyer, EMT-P (retired), will serve as Project Director. He recently led EMS assessment projects in Western Placer County, San Joaquin, and Solano Counties. Lou is a seasoned ambulance executive with almost 40 years of experience before consulting. He is well known for his operational and financial expertise and dozens of EMS assessment projects.
Further, Lou was appointed for 17 years to the California EMS Commission, including serving as chairperson for two terms. After retiring, Lou managed the California EMS Authority’s implementation of community paramedicine pilot projects across 13 sites for ten years. No one has more knowledge or breadth of experience in California. In addition to his operational expertise, leading the state’s community paramedicine project for a decade makes him our subject matter expert.
▪ Bill Bullard, MBA, EFO, CFO, has been actively involved in EMS for 39 years, including public, private, and volunteer EMS and fire first response and transport providers. He has been consulting in the EMS field for 28 years. Since 1998, Bill has given back to his community through its combination (paid and volunteer) fire department and was appointed the Fire Chief in 2015 (part-time). In addition, he serves as a subject matter expert/expert witness and speaker at national conferences in all aspects of the public safety field, including EMS system design, financial viability, and innovation.
▪ Chief D'Orazi has 43 years of practical experience delivering fire first response and transport services as a fire chief in Alameda (CA) and Ashland (OR). He recently used his vast knowledge of fire and EMS industry practices, including Standards of Cover, to support the future of Washington County (WI) public safety needs.
▪ EMS Chief Matt Powers, RN, BSN, CEN, MES, FAEN, MICP, brings a high level of fire-based and clinical EMS knowledge to the project with over 36 years of experience as a paramedic, EMS Fire Chief, and emergency department (ED) nurse. He ensures the first responder role is fully appreciated and incorporated into our strategic planning. Additionally, as an ED nurse manager, Matt understands how hospitals interface for the betterment of the EMS patients they receive.
▪ Dr. Dave Ghilarducci, FACEP, FAEMS, was selected based on his specific experience in EMS clinical care within California through his role as an EMS Medical Director for four Northern California counties. He has a proven track record of using data to drive system innovation and excellence. Dr. Ghilarducci helps EMS systems maximize limited resources through a patient-centric approach.

▪ Brenda Brenner, EMT-P (retired) retired as the EMS Agency Director for the County of Santa Cruz in 2022. She effectively led the agency through an EMS strategic planning process, ambulance RFP, contract negotiations, and multiple disasters. Before this experience, she spent almost 40 years in the ambulance service, progressing from field paramedic to Director of Operations. Brenda ensures our projects are consistent with the needs for oversight, operations, and excellent patient care delivery. • David Baumgardner started his EMS experience in 1982. He retired after 40 years in EMS operations, finishing as the CEO of LifeNet Ambulance (TX). Since then, David has used his mapping, system status management, and deployment talents to support our consulting projects.
▪ Our core consulting team brings 300 years of combined subject matter expertise to the residents and visitors of Glenn County. Our EMS dispatch, finance, lean process, and mapping specialists offer another 125 years of experience and will be utilized as needed during the project.
▪ During 28 years of EMS consulting, we have completed dozens of EMS assessment projects nationally. Our team has finished many EMS system reviews and recommendations for cities, counties, and states within vastly different regions of the country. These projects include many California counties, such as Solano, San Joaquin, Ventura, Santa Cruz, Mendocino, San Luis Obispo, San Diego, Santa Clara, Riverside, and San Bernardino (ICEMA).
Most recently, our firm was solely sourced due to our neutrality in supporting the competitive ambulance bid challenges in Santa Barbara County. Other notable EMS assessments include the States of Colorado and South Dakota, Nashville (TN), Houston/ Galveston (TX), St. Croix (WI), Washington County (OR), and Newfoundland/Labrador (Canada). After hearing from all stakeholders, a unique and customized recommendation was delivered to each.
▪ As national subject matter experts, we are regular speakers at EMS conferences, authors of industry articles, and conductors of academic research for EMS innovations. In addition to speaking, we attend the rest of the conference workshops to maintain our knowledge of EMS best practices and industry trends.
▪ In 2016, we pioneered a collaborative strategic process with the County of Santa Cruz that fundamentally changed its EMS system delivery by incorporating performance benchmarks into the system, no longer measuring response times only – one of the first systems in the country to achieve this innovation.
▪ We have no biases or conflicts that would prevent us from completing a comprehensive and impartial assessment process. Healthcare Strategists does not provide consulting services to private ambulance companies to ensure objectivity.

5. Approach
A statement detailing approach: provide detailed information on how you will provide the services discussed in the Scope of Work, any anticipated deliverables, and your role.
Project Methodology: The Strategic Process
During 25+ years of consulting, we have developed a proven approach for achieving successful outcomes for any project – The Strategic Process. While customized for each project, our six steps provide a framework for a positive finished product:
Step 1: Alignment Conversation
A kick-off meeting with the project leadership sets the foundation for success. During this step, the objectives are discussed in greater detail. Changes in scope since the initial discussion are identified. The new goals are then reflected in a revised work plan that the client reviews and finalizes. Only through clear expectations will the project vision be achieved.
Step 2: Stakeholder Input
Stakeholders identified as relevant to the project are interviewed individually or as a focus group. Input may also include spending time with the stakeholders while performing their jobs to appreciate firsthand how the system functions. This input typically includes ride-alongs with first responders, dispatch, and ambulance line staff.
Step 3: Data Drivers
During the qualitative/quantitative data-gathering process, local, regional, and state data resources are employed. The goal is to obtain baseline data to define the system, future trends, and identify strengths and needs. Data is requested from stakeholders and other sources when not readily available.
Step 4: Feedback Circuit
Once the subjective (stakeholders) and objective (data) inputs are synthesized into the initial project findings, the results are shared to confirm accuracy. This review may include project leadership or a predefined advisory group. Once vetted at this level, public workshops or stakeholder meetings may be appropriate to disseminate findings. This feedback is done for two reasons: 1) to be transparent with stakeholders and 2) to obtain input if there are any concerns.
Step 5: Pathway Solution
Once project leadership and stakeholders ensure buy-in and the accuracy of the conclusions, our team develops the draft report. A team member not involved with the project proofreads the report, ensuring the highest level of precision and quality. The solution will include producing an EMS system that is sustainable for the planning horizon of 10 years from the initial contract.

Step 6: Forward Vision
The draft report is shared with the project leadership and advisory committee, if applicable.
Final edits are incorporated. Once approved, the final report is presented to stakeholders. The recommendations and any appropriate action plans to achieve implementation are clearly defined during this roll-out.
The Strategic Process, customized for each project, has worked in hundreds of public safety projects, including those mentioned throughout this proposal. As a result, there will be regular and ongoing communication during all steps of this project. Some communication strategies available to keep stakeholders informed during this project include a project webpage, social media presence, email list server, stakeholder presentations, and public workshops.
List of Proposed Project Deliverables
Phase I: Completed Work Plan based on Final Approved Scope of Work Upon selection, we will meet with the project leadership team to discuss the proposed work plan, changes to the Scope of Work, and finalize the timeline. This ensures the project expectations are clearly articulated and documented.
Phase II: Conduct In-Person Interviews and Listening Sessions Our team will meet in person with city and county leadership and all EMS stakeholders interested in being interviewed. This will include all EMS providers within Glenn County, fire departments, hospitals, dispatch centers, public health, and others identified as valuable to the process. For anyone unable to meet in person, we will coordinate virtual meetings at their convenience. Finally, we will offer two in-person and two virtual listening sessions for EMS stakeholders and the public to attend.
Phase III: Collect and Analyze Data
The RFP Scope of Work provides an excellent framework of necessary data for an EMS system assessment. We will combine the identified items with our knowledge and experience of valuable data to produce a comprehensive data request. Our team will work with the project leadership to collect the necessary data. Once completed, our consultants will review, summarize, and analyze the data by looking for trends, areas of concern, and best practices. It will not be delegated to office staff with little or no EMS experience.
Phase IV: Develop and Review the Draft Report
Once the interviews (subjective) and data analysis (objective) are completed, we will develop the draft report for review by the project leadership. The draft report will contain all the requested information and requirements as noted in the RFP Scope of Work. The report will include designated recommendations and a detailed analysis of each study element, written and presented in sections with explanatory support to ensure an understanding by all readers.
Charts, graphs, maps, and diagrams will be included as appropriate. In our experience, a PowerPoint-style report is the most effective way to share the study results, as recommendations are not lost in long-winded narrative. Text, charts, and graphs are more

STRATEGISTS
Glenn County
EMS System Assessment Page 8 of 49
easily presented, and the report is more likely to be read entirely. Please see our San Joaquin County report as an example. Ultimately, we will create the report in the style you prefer.
Phase V: Publish and Present the Final Report
Once everyone has had a chance to review and provide feedback, we will update and produce a final report that will be issued electronically (in PDF format). After the final report is completed and approved by the project leadership, we will provide an in-person presentation to the elected governing bodies of Willows, Orland, and Glenn County. The presentation will include a summary of the nature of the report, methods of analysis, primary findings, critical recommendations, review and explanation of charts, graphs, diagrams, and maps, and the opportunity for questions and answers as needed.
Key Initiative and Strategy Recommendations
After nearly 30 years of consulting, we have learned one thing – when you have seen one EMS system, you have seen one EMS system. We commit to a unique solution specific to Glenn County; our assessment and recommendations will not be a “copy-and-paste” from another community. Our goal is to provide the pros and cons of the different recommendations proposed to allow the project leadership the opportunity to understand the benefits and weaknesses of each. Once the likely solution is identified, our team will develop the appropriate key policy decisions for an effective and sustainable EMS system for the community.
Components will include ambulance regulatory and oversight structures, medical oversight responsibilities, control center operations, and specifics of the ambulance service delivery selected.
Patient-Centric Care Approach
We are most proud of our commitment to patient-centric care and the fundamental changes we have implemented nationally that other EMS consulting firms have imitated. Historically, the EMS industry has measured success by how fast we drive… without any metrics for the quality of the care provided thereafter and whether it benefited the patient. In 2016, Santa Cruz County (CA) was ready to change the status quo. We established a Next Generation Task Force of engaged stakeholders. They learned about many EMS best practices and selected five topics that were most relevant and applicable locally. Subject matter experts for the top five best practices presented to stakeholders. This established a framework for the EMS agency's next steps. The first step was implementing a First Responder and Transport Report Card to measure patient care, such as time to aspirin administration, proper airway management, and time on scene during strokes, heart attacks, and trauma. When the ambulance provider meets the standards, it receives a reduction of any penalties for extended response times. This transition to patient-centered care became part of the following competitive ambulance RFP. It was one of the first of its kind nationwide. This Report Card approach and incentive program is now part of most EMS RFPs, including those produced by other EMS consulting firms.

The Decision Triangle
The EMS stakeholders of Glenn County are considering how to ensure and enhance the reliability of its EMS system. It is admirable to question the status quo (see above) and truly improve the community's pre-hospital care.
The process also requires an “eyes wide open” approach to the three variables that exist in all EMS systems: 1) response times, 2) quality of care, and 3) costs. Unfortunately, we can only have two of the three. It is possible to have an extremely fast, high-quality system… but it will not be cheap. A less expensive system will be slower but can maintain high quality. Most systems are unwilling to compromise on the quality of care provided for obvious reasons. This leaves response times and cost as the two opposing factors. We will work with the project leadership, project advisory committee, EMS stakeholders, and community to balance the two variables to deliver acceptable speed at a reasonable cost. System components that may be used to accomplish this balancing act include tiered (ALS/BLS) response, faster response times for high acuity calls and longer times for low acuity, nurse navigation at dispatch, holding non-emergency calls until system levels allow, permitting first responders to optimize the use of transport uses, fire agencies providing surge capacity during unpredictable peak demand, telemedicine with non-transport, and many other concepts from other communities. We look forward to being your partner in the design process.

Over the years, Lou has been involved with many professional organizations. For more than 17 years, he served as the Speaker of the Assembly’s appointee as a Commissioner on the California EMS Commission. He served as Chairperson of the EMS Commission from 1995 to 1996 and again from 2005 to 2007.
During his long tenure with the commission, he was significantly involved in the evolution of California’s EMS system through the commission’s review and approval of regulations, standards, and guidelines, which had an impact on the overall quality of the state’s EMS system and further recommendations and developments in the future.
His engagements following retirement include consulting and management oversight of the California Emergency Medical Services Authority’s (EMSA) Community Paramedicine Pilot Projects. This project encompasses pilot sites for Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Alameda County, Stanislaus County, Fresno County, San Bernardino County, Butte County, Santa Clara County, Solano County, and Ventura County. In addition to his management oversight responsibilities, Lou assisted with drafting and enacting legislation known as the Community Paramedicine and Triage to Alternate Destination Act (AB 1544), which was required to move from a Pilot Project status to a statewide program. Following the passage of AB 1544, Lou assisted in the regulation’s development, which was necessary to implement the intent of the legislation.

Bill Bullard, MBA, EFO, CFO
Project Advisor
28 years of consulting, 39 years of EMS and fire experience Bill has undertaken many needs assessments to determine the service options available. He has 38 years of experience in emergency services, including public and private agencies. Bill put himself through college as an EMT, working for the local 9-1-1 ambulance company. After graduating, Bill took his street knowledge and management degree and joined the startup team of BayStar Medical Services, a division of Laidlaw/ MedTrans, as the Director of Business Development. His experience includes system analysis, strategic planning, and innovative contracting with EMS providers. Bill speaks nationally on EMS and fire topics, including innovation, to meet current and future needs.
Bill began his consulting career in 1997 with The Abaris Group, a national leader in public safety consulting. Bill was the lead EMS expert and participated in almost every EMS project in the last 20 years, including multiple Ambulance RFPs in California. He retired from the company in 2019 as the Senior Vice President to pursue his own consulting projects. Bill has conducted numerous strategic fire and EMS studies and analyzed the operations and fiscal strength of many public and private providers. He is the co-author of The Ambulance Industry Report (The Abaris Group, 3 rd edition) and a key contributor to the 3rd edition, which involved reimbursement research and trends.
In 1998, Bill became a firefighter with the Graton Fire Protection District. It is a combination (i.e., paid/volunteer) fire department in Sonoma County (CA). He quickly rose through the ranks and was promoted to fire chief in 2015 (part-time). During his tenure, he managed fiscal budgeting, long-term goal planning, Insurance Services Office (ISO) reviews (i.e., achieved protection class rating of 4; started at 9), and was appointed project manager to construct a new fire station. During the previous seven years, he has led the department through eight federally declared disasters –wildland fires, storms/floods, and the COVID pandemic. He is a graduate of the Executive Fire Officer (EFO) program from the National Fire Academy (NFA) as well as Chief Fire Officer (CFO) Designee from the Commission of Public Safety Excellence.
He served as the Project Director for the Santa Cruz (CA), State of South Dakota, Ventura (CA), and Doña Ana (NM) County EMS systems looking to optimize the use of fire first responders and ambulance transportation. Santa Cruz County required a level of innovation unknown to high-performance EMS systems. Bill developed the first performance-based system instead of traditional response time standards as the sole quality benchmark. Both private and fire-based ambulance providers and firefighter/paramedic first responders must meet stringent clinical and operational standards. Bill obtained his Bachelor of Science in Management from RPI and an MBA from California State University.

in the same county. She successfully led her agency through many planned projects and natural disasters for the next six years. Brenda’s first task was reinventing the EMS system, as the stakeholders were not interested in continuing the status quo. She coordinated the county’s first-ever EMS next-generation task force to redesign how EMS would be delivered. This innovation was captured in the next ambulance RFP. Brenda provided oversight to the implementation of the new system in 2018. She also led the agency through the COVID-19 pandemic and the necessary changes to remain effective.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES:
EMS System Assessment, Strategic Development, and Ambulance RFP Hired after a competitive RFP for an EMS consultant. During the system assessment phase, the EMS stakeholders strongly desired to break away from the “status quo” and move forward with system improvements and new clinical standards for the ambulance RFP beyond response times. The EMS medical director and Santa Cruz County leadership well supported this. The EMS system is adopting many of the changes from the EMS Next Generation Task Force sessions and including new clinical, performance, and satisfaction requirements in the ambulance RFP. Multiple EMS and emergency preparedness projects have followed this project’s success in innovation.

9. Other Information
Provide any other items or information that may assist us in evaluating your proposal (e.g., awards, letters of recommendation, or sample reports).
Optional Components
The RFP Scope of Work is well presented and consistent with the goals of a comprehensive and objective system assessment. The tasks are appropriate for each phase. Two optional components are included that project leadership may want to consider. 1) Project Advisory Committee – We recommend creating a project advisory committee. The advisors are unbiased EMS stakeholders who provide input throughout the process. They provide a level of transparency that ensures all stakeholders feel represented. As interviews and data analysis are completed, the committee vets the findings. 2) EMS Standards and Clinical Scorecards – Our team believes that it is not only essential to respond quickly but also to ensure that the care provided on scene is meaningful to the patient. To that end, we developed a table of the EMS standards, core measures, and benchmarks recommended by state, national, and international organizations. Since 2016, we have collaborated with our clients to develop their list of key performance indicators (KPIs) to guarantee high-quality patient care. Sample clients are provided within this table as well (see attachment). Once finalized with the EMS leadership and medical director, the KPIs become a “report card” of the ambulance provider’s prehospital care quality and “vital signs” for the EMS system as a whole – including bystander care, dispatch, first response, and transport.
What Makes Healthcare Strategists Unique?
Four components make our firm unique in our approach and differentiate us:
1) Substantial California EMS Experience – Our team has completed more EMS assessments in California than any other likely bidder. None have resulted in litigation. 2) Specialty—We are 100% focused on EMS projects. While our team has many areas of expertise in dispatch, emergency medicine, emergency preparedness, etc., we only bid on EMS projects for government clients.
3) Senior Consultants—Some consulting firms use nationally recognized EMS leaders to win contracts but then delegate the work to support staff. These employees do not have the public safety operational and administrative experience to recognize data trends, identify opportunities, and otherwise provide the best project results. The consultants identified above will perform 100% of the project. The result is the highest level of analysis, report development, and finished product. This business structure ensures the most competent product without the potential to “cut-and-paste” another project’s deliverable into your final product.
4) Objective Process—We do not provide consulting services to private, for-profit ambulance services that may be interested in serving your community. Our EMS clients are 100% government entities. This commitment ensures an unbiased and objective product for our clients. Therefore, there can be no perception of bias in our role with a project.

Agenda Item # 7b
_____________________________________________________________________ Date: November 25, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
From: Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Library Board of Trustees Subcommittee Vacancy and Appointment Process Recommendation:
Elect a two Councilmember subcommittee to review applications, conduct interviews, and return to the full Council with a recommendation for appointment to the Library Board of Trustees to fill the remaining term, vacated by Lisa Kennedy, that is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2028.
Rationale for Recommendation:
There is currently a vacancy on the Library Board of Trustees and, although the Municipal Code does not mandate the formation of a subcommittee, it has been past practice for the Council to establish one for the purpose of reviewing applications and conducting interviews. The departure of former Councilmembers Domenighini and Hofhenke has left this subcommittee without appointed members, necessitating Council action to re-establish it.
Background:
Section 2.70 of the City’s Code of Ordinances establishes a five-member Library Board of Trustees appointed by the City Council. Trustees serve overlapping three-year terms and hold their positions at the pleasure of the Council. The current vacancy is for a term scheduled to expire on June 30, 2028.
Discussion & Analysis:
A notice of vacancy was published on October 31 and November 7, 2025, with two applications received by the November 13, 2025, deadline. Candidate interviews are tentatively scheduled to occur after the November 25 City Council meeting. In order to move forward with the candidate interviews, it is necessary for the Council to appoint members to the subcommittee to conduct the interviews and evaluate the applicants. Once complete, the subcommittee will make a recommendation to the full Council.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact by the recommended action.
Agenda Item #7c
_____________________________________________________________________ Date: November 25, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Street Banner Program
Recommendation:
As the City’s Street Banner contract with CGI Communications comes to end, staff seek Council direction on next steps for this program, including Option A: renew the contract with CGI, Option B:
discontinue the street banner program completely, or Option C: launch a city administered program.
Rationale for Recommendation:
The three-year contract and Street Banner Program with CGI Communications ends in FY 2025-26. Staff seek Council policy direction on next steps.
Background:
The CGI Communication’s Street Banner Program was first presented to the Willows City Council on September 28, 2021 (Attachment 1). In October 2021, staff started formally working with CGI Communications to launch the city’s Street Banner Program, as well as the Planning Commission to develop street banner designs. The first banners were installed in early 2023 (Attachment 2). Since then, a new formatted version of the originally approved banner designs was installed in 2024 and 2025. As of FY 2025-26, the city’s contract with CGI Communications will expire.
Discussion & Analysis:
Over the past three years, there has been considerable discussion and debate about the street banner program and whether the City should continue working with CGI Communications or bring the program in-house and establish a city administered program.
Now that the CGI Communications contract is complete and the third and final round of street banners were installed earlier this year, staff seek Council policy direction on one of the following approaches:
Option A:
Renew the street banner contract with CGI Communications with special direction to work with designers and vendors.
Option A offers a streamlined approach to the Street Banner Program with CGI staff taking the lead and responsibility to administer the Program, including banner design, fabrication, sponsorship sales, and installation. City staff’s primary responsibility and role in the process is to facilitate city approval of the banner designs. This is a cost-free program for the city to participate in. The cost of the program is incurred by the banner sponsors.
In preparation for this agenda item, staff reached out to the current banner sponsors to find out whether they would participate in the Program if it were continued. Of the four business that responded to the inquiry, all of them demonstrated a strong interest and likelihood of participating in the program again. Two of the respondents also were interested in having the city administer the program and/or using local vendors to design, fabricate and install the banners.
Option B:
Completely discontinue the Street Banner Program after FY 2025-26.
Under Option B, the current banners would remain installed until they wore out or were torn and then removed by Public Works. After that, there would be no Street Banner Program. Option C:
Bring the Street Banner Program in-house to be administered by city staff.
Option C would require considerable city staff effort to formulate program guidelines and facilitate every aspect of the program including banner design, fabrication, and installation. In addition, should the Council wish to continue with the banner sponsorship program, staff would also have to administer that aspect of the Program. A city-administered Street Banner Program would be very time-consuming for city staff that may require additional administrative support beyond the city’s current staff capacity.
Due to current staffing levels and capacity, staff recommends either Option A or B.
Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:
The potential action to continue a Street Banner Program is consistent with Priority #2: Economic Development, Goal #5, Improve City Appearance.
Fiscal Impact:
Currently, there is no fiscal impact.

Agenda Item #7d
________________________________________________________________ Date: November 25, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: 2026 Council Meeting Calendar & Schedule
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution XX-2025 (Attachment 1) establishing the 2026 Council Meeting Calendar and Schedule (Exhibit A).
Rationale for Recommendation:
It is considered a best practice in municipal government to adopt an annual City Council meeting calendar and schedule for purposes of planning City Council and staff work, as well as public transparency.
Background:
Each year, the City Council considers and adopts its meeting calendar for the upcoming year to ensure orderly scheduling of Council business and alignment with other municipal operations.
The adoption of the annual calendar typically occurs in December so that Council, staff, and the community have clear expectations regarding regular meeting dates, holiday closures, and any anticipated adjustments well in advance.
Discussion & Analysis:
By adopting an annual city council meeting calendar and schedule, the Council and City staff may better plan the Council’s workload, special meetings, changes in the meeting schedule, and Council recesses, allowing for ample public notification of the Council’s meeting calendar and transparent communication.
In addition to the Council meeting calendar, staff also recommend closing the Civic Center the week of Christmas from December 21 through December 25, 2025, as City Hall is already closed on December 24, 25, and January 1. If approved, the second meeting in December would also be cancelled on December 22 (the day before two paid holidays).
The Fire Department is exempt from this closure as it provides essential services, and a rotating Public Works employee would also be on call 24/7 during this time frame. In addition, it’s worth noting that the city is not “giving” this time to City employees. All employees are required to use vacation, compensation, and/or unpaid time during the holiday closure. The City Manager has met and conferred with the UPEC General Bargaining Unit, and support the annual holiday closure.
Finally, as it is common for City Councils to take a summer recess and cancel one or two consecutive City Council meetings, usually in the month of August (e.g., Chico City Council), the following list of Council meeting dates also includes a summer recess cancelling the first meeting in August 2026. Should the Council prefer to meet on that date, it can easily be added as part of a Council motion to approve the 2026 Council Meeting Schedule.
Additionally, the City Manager requests cancelling the April 14, 2026 City Council meeting, as she will be on vacation during that time and would like to avoid the added burden on the Acting City Manager to also prepare an agenda packet and manage a Council meeting in addition to managing city administration and operations in her absence.
The proposed 2026 Council Meeting Schedule includes the following dates:
January 13
January 27

Subject: Pioneer Community Energy – 2027 Campaign Launch Recommendation:
This staff report and attachments are informational only regarding the October 2027 launch of Pioneer Community Energy in the City of Willows.
Rationale for Recommendation:
At the October 14, 2025, City Council meeting, Councilmember Pride requested that staff agendize public information regarding the October 2027 launch of Pioneer Community Energy – an alternative electricity provider to PG&E. This information will also be shared in the November 2025 newsletter.
Background:
In the fall of 2024, the City Manager was approached by the City Manager of Orland about participating in Pioneer Community Energy’s electricity program. On November 26, 2025, Pioneer Energy presented the program to the Council.
On December 10, 2024, the City of Willows authorized the City Manager to execute a Letter of Intent to co-fund an assessment study along with Pioneer Energy, the County of Glenn, and the City of Orland to help determine whether the City of Willows should become a member of Pioneer Energy Community Choice Aggregator (CCA).
On January 23, 2025, Pioneer Energy presented the results of the assessment study to the City Council.
On February 11, 2025, the City Council approved a resolution and first reading of an ordinance to authorize the implementation of a Community Choice Aggregation Program (‘Program’) in the Territory under Public Utilities Code section 366.2. The second reading of the ordinance was approved by the Council on February 25, 2025.
Discussion & Analysis:
Since the Council approved moving forward with the Program in February 2025, Pioneer Community Energy has also been approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to establish the Program in the City of Willows, as well as other jurisdictions (Attachment 1).
Starting in the second half of 2026, Pioneer Community Energy and the City of Willows will start informing the citizens of Willows about the October 2027 launch of and enrollment in the new Program, including responding to Frequently Asked Questions (Attachment 2) and sharing information about Pioneer and its service area (Attachment 3). Please note, Willows residents may opt out of the Program and remain with PG&E as their electricity provider should they so desire.
Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:
This initiative is consistent with Priority #1: Financial Stability, Goal #2, to seek cost savings.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to publicly sharing information regarding the October 2027 Pioneer Community Energy campaign launch.

PIONEER COMMUNITY ENERGY TO EXPAND TO 13 NEW NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COMMUNITIES ROCKLIN, CA – Pioneer Community Energy (Pioneer), a locally owned not-for-profit electricity provider headquartered in Rocklin, California, announced today its expansion into 13 new communities. A service launch date is set for October 2027.
Communities joining Pioneer include the counties of Butte, Glenn, Nevada, Sutter, and Tuolumne, the cities of Chico, Live Oak, Orland, Oroville, Sonora, Willows, and Yuba City, and the Town of Paradise.
“We are thrilled to bring the many benefits that Pioneer offers to so many like-minded communities. This expansion brings a choice in energy providers that these customers previously have not had,” said Pioneer Board Chair and Auburn City Councilmember Alice Dowdin Calvillo. “Plus, all of these communities will benefit from Pioneer’s commitment to keeping rates competitive, which helps customers save money.” Pioneer will purchase electricity (represented as the generation portion of customer bills), while Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) will deliver the energy through its lines and poles (represented as transmission and distribution on customer bills).
The expansion process began in 2024, with each of the new members evaluating the benefits of community choice aggregation in general, and Pioneer specifically. Joining Pioneer was discussed at several public meetings of each of the governing bodies and culminated with each jurisdiction voting to join Pioneer.
Upon approval by its Board of Directors, Pioneer submitted an amended Implementation Plan to the California Public Utilities Commission, which certified the plan on June 11, 2025. Final documents were submitted to the California Secretary of State and California State Controller’s Office on July 9, 2025.
“We look forward to working in partnership with our 13 new members so that they fully understand and take advantage of the savings, programs, and community reinvestment opportunities that Pioneer offers,” said Pioneer Chief Executive Officer Don Eckert.
Since launching in 2018, Pioneer has saved customers more than $108 million, with an additional $38 million in anticipated savings for 2025. Savings are reinvested in the communities Pioneer serves through economic development projects, local power purchase Attachment 1
agreements, participation in community events, and the purchase of goods and services. This expansion more than doubles Pioneer’s current number of customers.
Pioneer plans to work with local leaders in each of the new communities to conduct a comprehensive community education and outreach effort in advance of the service launch.
