Agenda Item #6c
_____________________________________________________________________ Date: April 28, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Letter of Support for SB-1041, Fire Hardening Act of 2026 Recommendation:

Approve a letter of support for SB-1041, Fire Hardening Act of 2026.

Rationale for Recommendation:

SB 1041 would allow qualified homeowners to use Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing for fire hardening improvements, helping protect homes and reduce barriers to obtaining affordable insurance at no cost to the City. Providing a letter of support (Attachment 1) demonstrates the City’s support for this legislation and its intended benefits.

Background:

Senate Bill 1041 would expand the use of Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing to include wildfire hardening improvements for residential properties. The PACE program allows property owners to finance eligible improvements and repay the cost over time through a voluntary property tax assessment.

A prior effort in 2018 (SB 465) authorized similar use; however, drafting limitations prevented thirdparty administrators from offering the financing broadly, limiting the program’s effectiveness.

PACE financing has been widely used in California to fund energy efficiency, water conservation, seismic upgrades, and other resiliency improvements. It relies on private capital and does not require public funding.

Discussion & Analysis:

According to the SB 1041 Fact Sheet (Attachment 2) SB 1041 addresses issues in current law that have made it difficult for homeowners to use PACE financing for wildfire safety improvements. While a previous law allowed this type of financing, it was not widely available due to technical limitations. This bill resolves those issues by clearly defining eligible improvements, expanding access to more homeowners, and removing the program’s sunset date.

Page 48 of 150 ends

These changes come at a time when wildfire risk is increasing across California, including in areas that were not previously considered high risk. As a result, many homeowners are facing higher insurance costs or difficulty maintaining coverage. By making it easier to finance fire hardening improvements, SB 1041 provides homeowners with a practical tool to better protect their properties and reduce risk.

Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

Supporting SB 1041 aligns with the City’s adopted priorities, including Priority #3: Public Safety, Priority #1: Financial Stability, Priority #5: Infrastructure Improvement, and Priority #6: Quality of Life.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no direct fiscal impact to the City. PACE financing is privately funded and repaid through voluntary property assessments.

The Honorable Maria Elena Durazo
Chair, Senate Local Government Committee
1021 O Street, Suite 7530
Sacramento, CA 95814
RE: SB – 1041 Fire Hardening Act of 2026
Dear Senator Durazo,
On behalf of the City of Willows, I am writing to express strong support for SB 1041, which would remove barriers to homeowners seeking to use property assessed clean energy (PACE) financing for wildfire safety improvements. While a 2018 bill (SB 465 – Jackson) originally permitted this, drafting issues prevented third-party administrators from offering financing.

PACE has been in place for over a decade in California and serves a public purpose by enabling homeowners to finance improvements that increase the efficiency and safety of their homes through nonad valorem property tax assessments, based on the equity in their property and ability to pay. This innovative financing mechanism gives homeowners equitable access to the improvements while fulfilling a public purpose at no cost to taxpayers. Program administrators have been licensed and regulated by the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) since January 2019. Numerous consumer protections were put in place by legislation prior to that date, making residential PACE one of the most regulated finance options available to property owners in California.

To modernize the program and resolve the challenges in the 2018 bill, SB 1041 makes key changes to clarify eligible uses, expand homeowner access beyond specific high fire hazard zone designations and removes the expiration date in the original bill.

Fire seasons have become longer and intensified in recent years, leading to billions of dollars in property losses and a surge in insurance rates. Recent fires have increasingly threatened areas historically considered safe. SB 1041 gives California homeowners another valuable tool in hardening their properties while also giving state and local governments a mechanism to increase the resiliency of properties that costs taxpayers nothing. For these reasons, I urge you to support SB 1041.

Sincerely,
Evan Hutson, Mayor
City of Willows

SB 1041 – Fire Hardening Act of 2026
SUMMARY_______________________________
SB 1041 would allow qualified homeowners to use Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing for fire hardening improvements, which helps protect homes and reduce
barriers to affordable insurance. While a 2018 bill originally permitted this, drafting issues prevented third-party
administrators from offering financing.

To modernize the program and resolve these challenges, SB 1041 introduces a few key changes:
• Clarifies eligible uses: Explicitly outlines eligible permanent fire hardening improvements based upon
the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection
Zones 1 and 2 defensible space regulations and
specifies that rebuilding projects can only use PACE
to finance wildfire safety upgrades beyond what the
destroyed structure had.
• Expands homeowner access: Grants immediate
access to PACE financing for fire hardening to all
homeowners in over 350 PACE-authorized
jurisdictions, avoiding delays caused by requiring
additional local government approval or specific
high fire hazard zone designations.
• Removes the sunset date: Eliminates the
expiration date for the program to provide
market surety
BACKGROUND_____________________________
The Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Program
offers families a flexible financing tool to make capital infrastructure upgrades to their homes for energy and water efficiency, seismic reliance or critical fire hardening improvements.

PACE allows property owners to finance the upfront cost of eligible improvements and pay it back over time through a voluntary assessment attached to their property. This unique structure is essential because it allows PACE programs to offer better pricing to homeowners. Furthermore, it functions exactly as intended, empowering local governments to
leverage private capital to achieve important public policy goals—such as encouraging safer, more resilient homes—
without having to spend any public funds.

Rather than relying on traditional credit scores, eligibility is based primarily on a property’s equity and the owner’s
ability to repay the financing. This makes PACE an
incredibly attractive option for families who have built up equity but aren't in a financial position to make large out-ofpocket payments to complete a project.

This accessible financing is fortified by strong consumer protections. The program has been proven safe and effective for consumers through diligent regulatory oversight by the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation. PACE providers enforce robust, equitable eligibility criteria and state-law disclosure requirements before a homeowner is approved. Beyond standard financial disclosures, PACE
goes further: every homeowner receives a confirmation call from a real person to walk through their specific deal and answer questions. To ensure quality, eligible contractors are rigorously screened for their licenses, insurance, and
customer history. As a critical final safeguard, contractors do not receive their final payment until the homeowner signs off that the work was completed to their absolute satisfaction.

PROBLEM_______________________________
In 2018, the legislature attempted to equip homeowners
against the growing threat of wildfire by passing SB 465 (Jackson) to allow PACE financing for fire hardening.

Attachment 2

Page 51 of 150 ends

However, the bill did not allow third-party administrators to operate the fire-hardening improvements and to date,
Sonoma County is the only local government to enact their own program that they must pay to operate. Additionally, the 2018 law only offered this program to jurisdictions in “very high fire hazard severity zones”. As we saw in the
devastating Los Angeles Fires, practically every area across our state is now at risk for catastrophic wildfires.

SOLUTION_______________________________
To ensure legislative intent and modernize the program for today's wildfire threats, SB 1041 offers three definitive solutions:

First, it clears up regulatory confusion by explicitly spelling out eligible fire hardening improvements and deleting
defunct webpage references. For families rebuilding after a tragedy, PACE can only be used to finance wildfire safety improvements beyond what the destroyed structure
originally possessed.

Second, recognizing that recent fires increasingly threaten areas historically considered safe, the bill grants immediate access to PACE financing for fire hardening to all
homeowners across the state's more than 350 PACEauthorized jurisdictions.

Finally, the proposal removes the program's sunset date.

Thanks to diligent regulatory oversight phased in by the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation between 2018 and 2021, PACE is now proven safe and effective for consumers.

By fixing past flaws, these modernizations will finally guarantee homeowners the accessible financing they need to defend their homes from wildfire.

Agenda Item #6d
_____________________________________________________________________ Date: April 28, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Joe Bettencourt, Community Development & Services Director Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Planning Commission Appointment
Recommendation:

Review the recommendation of the Council Ad Hoc Committee, Mayor Hutson and Councilmember Pride, and approve the appointment of Jesse Powell to the Willows Planning Commission for a term ending December 31, 2029.

Rationale for Recommendation:

There is currently one vacancy on the Planning Commission for a seat with a term that expired on December 31, 2025, previously held by Cristina Ocampo.

Background:

The Planning Commission vacancy resulted from the expiration of Commissioner Cristina Ocampo’s term on December 31, 2025. In accordance with the Willows Municipal Code, appointments to the Planning Commission are made by the Mayor with the approval of the City Council. Staff conducted recruitment efforts and received one application for consideration (Attachment 1).

Discussion & Analysis:

On March 24, 2026, Mayor Hutson and Councilmember Pride, serving as the Council Ad Hoc Committee, conducted interviews with applicant Jesse Powell. Based on the interview and qualifications, the Ad Hoc Committee recommends Jesse Powell for appointment to the Planning Commission.

If approved by the City Council, the appointed Commissioner will serve a full four-year term beginning in 2026 and ending December 31, 2029, and will be sworn in prior to the April 30, 2026 Special Joint City Council & Planning Commission Meeting.

Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

The proposed position is consistent with Council Priority #2: Economic Development.

_____________________________________________________________________ Date: April 28, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Nathan Monck, Fire Chief
Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Annual Weed and Rubbish Abatement Schedule
Recommendation:

Adopt a resolution declaring weeds, rubbish, refuse and dirt public nuisances; and approve the Weed and Rubbish Abatement Schedule for the 2026 fire season.

Rationale for Recommendation:

Weed Abatement and rubbish removal is an integral part of Willows Fire Department's mission to protect lives, property, and environment. With limited fire department staffing, emphasis must be placed on prevention. By removing hazardous fuels, Willows Fire Department has a greater chance of suppressing fires before they become large and unmanageable.

Background:

Each year the Willows Fire Department abates weeds, rubbish, refuse and dirt from City parcels and alleyways. To initiate this process, the City Council must adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) declaring that weeds, rubbish, refuse and dirt are a public nuisance and schedule a hearing date. The proposed 2026 Weed Abatement Schedule is included as Attachment 2.

Discussion & Analysis:

In addition to commercial and residential buildings, Willows is also home to the County of Glenn’s only emergency dispatch center, jail, and other vital emergency infrastructure. As a result, it is critical that the City of Willows remain vigilant in its effort to prevent and reduce fires throughout the City limits and immediate surrounding unincorporated County. Weed Abatement activities prevent fires, blight, and other costly negative impacts; potentially saving the City hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in property loss. The weed abatement program also improves the City of Willows insurance rating, ensuring homeowners receive the most competitive fire insurance rates.

Page 57 of 150 ends

An initial weed abatement survey (Attachment 3) was conducted during the week of April 13 to identify properties in violation. While some properties have since been abated, the survey serves as the basis for enforcement actions and will continue to be updated as conditions change.

Fiscal Impact:

The City anticipates approximately $40,000 in mandated abatement costs. Work will be performed by a contracted vendor selected through the City’s bid process (Attachment 4). All costs associated with mandated weed abatement will be billed to the responsible property owner. Unpaid invoices will be assessed as liens against the property.

Approved by the Willows City Council on April 28, 2026
7 progress of the services, all questions which arise as to the interpretation of the specifications, all questions as to the acceptable fulfillment of this Agreement on the part of the Contractor and all questions as to claims and compensation.

9.10 Interpretation of Specifications
Should it appear that the services to be done or any matter relative thereto is not sufficiently detailed or explained in any specifications, special provisions, and/or related documents, Contractor shall apply to the City for such further explanations as may be necessary and shall conform to such explanations or interpretations as part of this Agreement, so far as may be consistent with their original intent. In the event of doubt or question relative to the true meaning of the specifications, reference shall be made to the City's representative(s), whose decision thereon shall be final.

9.11 Notice to Proceed; Progress: Completion
Upon execution of this Agreement by the parties, City shall give Contractor notice to proceed with the services.

9.13 Term: Extension: Termination

Page 81 of 150 ends

Approved by the Willows City Council on April 28, 2026
8 The initial term of this Agreement shall commence upon City's issuance to Contractor of a notice to proceed for all or a portion of the contractual services, as hereinabove provided, and terminate 12 months from the date of such notice to proceed.

This Agreement may be extended for two additional periods of 12 months, upon execution of an amendment by the City and Contractor providing therefor. For each succeeding 12- month term of this Agreement, Contractor may request City to adjust the compensation rate(s) during such term. Contractor's request for such an adjustment shall be filed with City no later than January 15, and shall be accompanied by such documentation, including, but not limited to, financial reports and records, operational cost data, and the like, as may be required by City to enable it to satisfactorily evaluate and make a determination upon it. Nothing hereinabove, however, shall require City to make any adjustment therefore in response to Contractor's request. Further, in no event shall any such adjustment exceed an amount equal to 75 percent of the increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) - U.S. City Average - as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, for the most recent available previous 12-month period. As an example, if such Index increased 10 percent for a preceding 12-month period, an annual adjustment could not exceed 7.5 percent regardless of whether or not the Contractor's documented costs exceed 7.5 percent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, City may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement at any time and for any reason whatsoever by giving at least 10 days prior written notice of such termination to Contractor. In this latter event, Contractor shall be entitled to compensation for all service rendered and services performed for City to the date of such termination.

9.14 Notice

1.1 The removal of noxious weeds, debris, and combustible vegetation shall be done in accordance with State and City regulations governing materials and/or conditions which may be damaging to the public health and safety. Specific procedures exist which must be followed. One of the established procedures provides that the City may authorize the removal of noxious weeds, debris, and combustible vegetation from parcels of land, in the event that the property owner fails to do so after having been properly notified.

Property owners have a specific amount of time in which to remove weeds, debris, and combustible vegetation before the City Council may order the abatement of those hazardous or unwanted conditions by a Weed Abatement contractor working on behalf of the City.

This scope of services establishes the nature of the work to be done and the conditions relating to such work. At this time, the City of Willows Fire Department does not know which private properties will be "owner-cleared" or those which will be "City- cleared" along with properties owned by the City. Therefore, an exact list of properties to be "cleared" by the contractor cannot be provided until after such time as the City Council authorizes a final list of properties to be cleared.

PERFORMANCE OF WORK

1.2 Contractor must remove all weeds, debris, and combustible vegetation within twenty (20) working days of being provided with the list of properties to be cleared.

Contractor shall be responsible for complying with all City, State, and Federal statutory requirements relating to the removal of weeds, debris, and unwanted vegetation.

Agenda Item #6f
_____________________________________________________________________ Date: April 28, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Laurie Loaiza, City Engineer
Joe Bettencourt, Community Development Services Director Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Preliminary Engineer’s Report - Landscape and Lighting Assessment District Recommendation:

Receive the Preliminary Annual Engineer’s Report as prepared by DCCM Infrastructure, Inc.; provide any direction to staff regarding desired changes; adopt the Resolution of Intention to levy and collect assessments (Attachment 1); and set the time and date of the required public protest hearing for the City of Willows Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District.

Rationale for Recommendation:

The State’s Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 requires annual reporting whenever assessments are to be levied and collected.

Background:

The Willows Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District was initially formed by the City in 2005 in accordance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. The Act requires that the City undertake certain proceedings for any fiscal year in which assessments are to be levied and collected. These proceedings are typically accomplished at three separate Council meetings with the following actions:

1. Adopt a resolution appointing the Engineer of Work and directing preparation of the annual Engineer’s Report;

2. Approve the Preliminary Engineer’s Report, declare the City Council’s intent to levy and collect assessments, and set the date and time for a public hearing; and

3. Conduct a public hearing and authorize the levy and collection of assessments for the upcoming fiscal year and approve the Annual Engineer’s Report.

The first action was completed by the City Council on February 24, 2026. The attached Preliminary Engineer’s Report and Resolution accomplish the second part of the proceedings for FY 2026-27.

Page 95 of 150 ends

Discussion & Analysis:

The Preliminary Annual Engineer’s Report is attached for City Council review (Attachment 2). In summary, the report outlines changes, summarizes projected FY 2026-27 costs, and provides the proposed assessments. Proposed assessments for FY 2026-27 are as follows: Zone A, $104.86 per unit, a decrease of $188.22 from the prior year; Zone B, $1,745.60 per unit, an increase of $752.92 from the prior year; and Zone C, $3,521.80 per unit, a decrease of $3,485.00 from the prior year.

In order to keep up with inflation, the estimated maximum annual assessments for Zones A, B, and C are proposed to increase by 3.0%, which is the minimum allowable rate of increase. The proposed maximum annual assessments are $631.95 for Zone A, $8,977.50 for Zone B, and $86,409.21 for Zone C. Assessments for FY 2026-27 are proposed to decrease in Zones A and C due to the availability of excess annual reserves in those zones that were used to reduce assessments. Assessments in Zone B are proposed to increase due to higher utility costs, and excess annual reserves were not available in Zone B to reduce assessments. Total FY 2026-27 annual assessments from all three zones are projected to generate $19,382.74 in revenue.

During FY 2008-09, the Council established an annual reserve policy to better manage existing and pending expenses. That policy sets a target reserve balance of 10 to 20 percent of annual operating expenses, where feasible. Annual reserve balances for Zones A, B, and C are projected to be within that target range at the end of FY 2026-27. The Preliminary Annual Engineer’s Report is being presented for information and comment at this stage, and the final step in the process will be the required public protest hearing, at which any person within the assessment district may provide comments for Council consideration.

Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

This item is consistent with Council Priority: Infrastructure Improvement, as the annual Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District proceedings support the ongoing maintenance of lighting, landscaping, and related public improvements within the assessment district zones. It also supports Council Priority: Financial Stability by ensuring these eligible costs continue to be funded through assessments and district reserves.

Fiscal Impact:

All costs associated with this assessment district are recovered through the assessments and zone reserves.

3 ANNUAL ENGINEER'S REPORT FOR

CITY OF WILLOWS

LANDSCAPING & LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
(Pursuant to the Landscaping & Lighting Act of 1972)
FY 2026-27
DCCM Infrastructure, Inc., the Engineer of Work for the City of Willows Landscaping & Lighting Assessment District, City of Willows, Glenn County, California, submits this Annual Engineer’s Report, as directed by the City Council on February 24, 2026, pursuant to Sections 22565 and 22620 of the California Streets & Highways Code.

BACKGROUND
History of the Assessment District
The City of Willows Landscaping & Lighting Assessment District (Assessment District) was formed in October of 2005 to provide funding for the operation and maintenance of landscaping and streetlights within the public right-of-way for the Birch Street Village development, which has been designated as Zone A. In order to levy and collect assessments each fiscal year, the Landscaping & Lighting Act of 1972 requires the preparation and filing of Annual Engineer’s Reports. During these annual proceedings, cost estimates are developed for the operation and maintenance of the Assessment District improvements for the upcoming fiscal year. Further, as new subdivisions are created within the Willows city limits, they can be annexed into the Assessment District on an annual basis.

In Fiscal Year (FY) 2012-13, Zone B was created to recover costs associated with the operation and maintenance of streetlights and half the cost of traffic signals within the public right-of-way for the Walmart Super Store on West Wood Street (State Hwy 162).

In FY 2019-2020, Zone C was created to recover operations and maintenance costs associated with the South Willows Commercial and Industrial Center.

ASSESSMENT DISTRICT POLICIES
Annual Reserve Policy
During FY 2008-09, the City established a policy, where feasible, to maintain an annual reserve in each zone of 10-20% of annual operating expenses to better manage existing and pending expenses. If annual reserves are projected to exceed 20% at the end of the fiscal year, excess reserves can be utilized in those zones to reduce assessments and to reduce the projected year-end annual reserve to the target range.

Page 102 of 150 ends

4 For the purposes of this report, annual operating expenses are calculated from the Budgets in Part B as the “Total Expenses” minus any “Contribution to Street Light Knockdown Reserve” and/or “Contribution to Landscape Replacement Reserve.”
Street Light Knockdown Reserve Policy
Zones B and C have implemented a Street Light Knockdown Reserve for the replacement of damaged street lights within the zone. Pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 22660, money for non-annual line items may be collected through annual installments that the City will place in a fund specific for this work.

Funds for the Street Light Knockdown Reserve will be collected over the course of five years through annual contributions. Monies collected for this purpose are shown in Part B of this report.

The Street Light Knockdown Reserve will accumulate to a maximum of $5,000, which is the current estimated cost to replace a knocked down street light. The maximum balance is allowed to increase in the future if the estimated replacement cost increases. Once this maximum balance is reached, there will be no additional accumulation of funds for that budget item until an expenditure to replace or repair a knocked-down street light has occurred, or the estimated replacement cost has increased. Once the knockdown funds are expended, the rebuilding of the fund will start in the following year’s budget and spread over a maximum of five years.

While most budget items, such as utility, maintenance and administrative costs are incurred annually, costs for repairing or replacing street lights and signals will be expended only upon damage or destruction of an existing light or signal.

No Street Light Knockdown Reserve has been established for Zone A.

Landscape Replacement Reserve Policy
Zone C has implemented a Landscape Replacement Reserve for the long-term replacement of such items as new mulch, irrigation and plant replacement. Pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 22660, money for any non-annual line items may be collected through annual installments that the City will place in a fund specific for this work. Monies collected for any non-annual landscape maintenance item(s) are shown in Part B, of this report with the designation “Landscape Replacement.”
Zones A and B
No Landscape Replacement Reserves have been established for these zones.

Zone C
For Zone C, the following Landscape Replacement Reserve has been established to include:
• $2,000 to be used for applying new mulch once every five years, or as otherwise needed. • $9,000 to be used for landscaping replanting once every 10 years, or as otherwise needed. • $18,000 to be used for irrigation replacement once every 20 years, or as otherwise needed.

Annual contributions of $2,200.00 will be made to the Landscape Replacement Reserve until a balance of $44,000 has been reached. These accumulation levels will be allowed to increase in the future if the estimated cost of these landscape maintenance items increase. This increase in costs

Page 103 of 150 ends

5 may increase the annual assessment, however it will not increase the annual assessment higher than the maximum assessment allowed.

Maximum Annual Assessment Policy
In 2005, the original Annual Engineer’s Report stated that assessments may be adjusted each year to account for inflation of costs and services in accordance with the Bay Area (San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose) Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All-Urban Consumers from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or 3.0%, whichever is greater.

An annual CPI increase has been applied for each year; however, it should be noted that, due to the economic climate, from FY 2010-11 through FY 2016-17 and from FY 2020-21 through FY 2021-22, the implemented increase was less than 3%.

All new zones to be annexed into this Assessment District shall include an allowance for an annual increase to the Maximum Annual Assessments in accordance with this policy.

The most recent annual CPI rate (for 2025) is 3.0%. Therefore, for FY 2026-27, the maximum annual assessments for Zones A, B and C are proposed to be increased by +3.0%.

CITY OF WILLOWS ASSESSMENT DISTRICT ZONES AND BUDGETS
The overall proposed Assessment District budget for FY 2026-27 is $87,364.74, which is a 0.2% increase from last year’s budget of $87,204.88. The following sections describe each assessment zone, its proposed budget for FY 2026-27, and any changes from the previous year.

Zone A – Birch Street Village
Zone A was created for the Birch Street Village Subdivision to provide funding for the operation and maintenance of landscaping and lighting, including turf, ground cover, shrubs, trees, plants, irrigation systems, masonry walls, fencing, entryway monuments, The assessed improvements for the initial phase of construction included five street lights and associated appurtenances located within the right-of-way. The locations of the improvements are shown in the Assessment Diagram in Part F of this Report.

Annual landscaping expenses may include the repair, removal or replacement of any landscape improvement, damaged irrigation facilities, diseased landscaping, weed and brush clearing, and any other allowable maintenance items per Section 22531 of the California Streets and Highways Code. Annual lighting expenses include utility, maintenance, and replacement costs.

Administrative expenditures include the costs of managing the assessment district zone.

The total proposed Zone A budget for FY 2026-27 is $20.010.24, which is a 0.3% increase from last year. Assessments for Zone A are proposed to be $104.86 per unit, which is $188.22 lower than last year. Excess annual reserves were used to lower assessments. Annual reserves are projected to be 20% of annual operating expenses at the end of the fiscal year, within the target range of 10-20%.

6 Zone B – Walmart
Zone B provides funding for three street lights on North Airport Road alongside the Walmart development, and two traffic signals with street lights at the intersection of North Airport Road and West Wood Street (Highway 162), as shown on the Zone B Assessment Diagram in Part F of this report. Annual expenses include utility, maintenance, replacement, and administrative expenditures. Replacement costs for street lights and traffic signals will be funded from the Street Light Knockdown Reserve Fund.

During FY 2021-22, the McDonald’s parcel was annexed into Zone B, increasing the number of parcel units in this zone from one to two.

The budget for Zone B is $3,491.20, a 23% increase from last year primarily due to increased utility costs. Assessments for Zone B are proposed to be $1,745.60 per unit, which is $752.92 higher than last year. Annual reserves are projected to be 16% of annual operating expenses at the end of the fiscal year, within the target range of 10-20%. Excess annual reserves were not available to lower assessments.

No annual contribution will be made to the Zone B Street Light Knockdown Reserve Fund because the maximum balance of $5,000 has been collected.

Zone C – South Willows Commercial and Industrial Center In FY 2019-20, Zone C was created for the South Willows Commercial and Industrial Center development. Zone C covers the costs of landscape, weed abatement, and lighting improvements in the right-of-way or public parcels created as part of the South Willows Commercial and Industrial Center. The assessed improvements for the initial phase of construction included four street lights on Harvest Drive, one street light on S. Tehama Street, landscaped areas on either side of Harvest Drive and weed abatement areas on the north and south side of the development in the detention ponds created for the development. The improvements will benefit six parcels this fiscal year. These improvements are shown in the Zone C Assessment Diagram in Part F of this report.

Further subdivision of the largest parcel is anticipated at full build-out of the development, which may potentially create a total of 21 buildable parcels and a wetlands area as shown on the approved tentative map. Although the tentative map shows 21 parcels, the final number of parcels is subject to change in the future, as the ultimate lot configurations depend on development.

Administrative expenditures include the costs of managing the assessment district zone.

Replacement costs for street lights will be funded from the Street Light Knockdown Reserve and landscape replacement costs will be funded from the Landscape Replacement Reserve.

The total proposed Zone C budget for FY 2026-27 is $63,863.30, which is 1.1% lower than last year. Assessments for Zone C are proposed to be $3,521.80 per unit, which is $3,485.00 lower than last year. Excess annual reserves were used to lower assessments. Annual reserves are projected to be 20% at the end of the fiscal year, within the 10-20% target range.

Page 105 of 150 ends

7 No annual contribution will be made to the Street Light Knockdown Reserve as it has reached its funding goal of $5,000.

An annual contribution of $2,200.00 will be made to the Landscape Replacement Reserve, which will bring the fund’s balance to $15,950.00 at the end of the fiscal year. Annual contributions to the Landscape Replacement Fund will be made until the maximum fund balance goal of $44,000 has been reached.

PROPOSITION 218 AND SPECIAL BENEFITS
In 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218 which grants local governments the ability to create assessment districts, and to levy and collect assessments. This law, now a part of the California Constitution (Articles XIII C and XIII D), stipulates that a parcel’s assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred upon that parcel. “Special benefit” is defined as “a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large.

The Annual Engineer’s Report must identify the special benefits conferred upon assessed parcels through the improvements and services funded by the District. The Report must also identify any general benefit conferred upon the public at large by those same improvements and services. The annual costs of said improvements and services must be apportioned between the two. The cost of services attributable to a general benefit may not be assessed.

For the City of Willows, the special benefits and general benefits provided by the various improvements, where furnished through the Assessment Districts, are described below.

Benefits of Landscaping
Landscaping improvements may include turf, mulch, plantings, irrigation systems, masonry walls, fencing, and landscape appurtenances. Landscaping improvements provide the following special benefits to each assessed parcel within the zone:
• Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the landscaping, • Improved aesthetic appeal of the neighborhood, and
• Improved air quality from additional vegetation.

Each assessed parcel within a zone receives a particular and distinct special benefit from the maintenance of the landscaping within that zone even though the landscaping may not be adjacent to each parcel. Further, although members of the general public may walk or drive through a zone and appreciate the aesthetic appeal of the maintained landscaping, this does not necessarily confer a general benefit to the public at large.

Benefits of Street Lighting
Street lighting provided by the Assessment District must meet adopted City standards for lighting, including spacing requirements. Therefore, each assessed parcel within the zone receives approximately equal and special benefit for:
• Enhanced neighborhood, pedestrian and vehicle safety, and

Page 106 of 150 ends

8 • Increased neighborhood, pedestrian and vehicle security.

Each assessed parcel within a zone receives a particular and distinct special benefit from the lighting and maintenance thereof within that zone even though the lights may not be adjacent to each parcel.

Benefits of Enhanced Traffic Control
The maintenance of traffic control improvements may include the utility costs, maintenance and replacement of traffic signals and street lighting. Traffic control often provides a combination of special and general benefits, which may include:
• Enhanced pedestrian and vehicle safety,
• Ease of access/egress, and
• Improved safety of the intersection.

Each assessed parcel within a zone receives a particular and distinct special benefit from the maintenance of the traffic control improvements within that zone even though there may be another access route to that parcel.

The general public may also benefit from improved traffic control, particularly when the improvements are located on highways and major arterial roads that serve many parcels outside of the assessed zone. The portion of enhanced safety and accessibility resulting from traffic control improvements conferred upon the public must be quantified and separated from the portion of special benefits conferred upon the assessed properties for each zone.

21 PART D

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT
This section describes the manner by which the annual assessment has been apportioned (spread) to the assessed parcels within each Zone:

Zone A – Birch Street Village
Zone A includes the maintenance of the landscaping and street lighting located within the rightof-way of Birch Street Village. The parcels within the zone receive a direct and special benefit from the landscaping and street lighting, which include enhanced desirability of properties within the zone, improved aesthetic appeal of the neighborhood, improved air quality, enhanced safety and security for the neighborhood, pedestrians, and vehicles.

Although members of the general public may walk or drive through a zone and appreciate the aesthetic appeal of the maintained landscaping, this does not necessarily confer a general benefit to the public at large and, in any case, is determined to be negligible relative to the special benefits conferred upon the parcels within a particular zone.

Land use codes from the County of Glenn were used to determine the basic use units assigned to each parcel. The following basic use units reflect the relative special benefit accruing to parcels of land within Zone A:

1. Developed parcel 1 unit

2. Vacant, developable parcel ½ unit

3. Undevelopable parcel 0 units
Accordingly, the annual assessment cost per parcel shall be obtained by dividing the total Zone A annual assessment cost by the total number of units within Zone A.

Zone B – Walmart
Zone B includes the maintenance of three street lights on North Airport Boulevard and a portion of a 4-way traffic signal with street lights at the intersection of West Wood Street and North Airport Road. The special and general benefits for each improvement, and the portions thereof, are described below.

Street Lights
The two parcels within Zone B, Walmart and McDonald’s, receive direct and special benefits from the street lights on North Airport Boulevard. The special benefits include enhanced safety and security for the neighborhood, pedestrians, and vehicles. Each parcel within the zone receives a particular and distinct special benefit from the lighting and maintenance thereof within that zone even though the lights may not be adjacent to each parcel.

Although members of the general public may walk or drive through a zone and appreciate the increased safety and security resulting from improved street lighting, this does not necessarily confer a general benefit to the public at large and, in any case, is determined to be negligible relative to the special benefits conferred upon the parcels within a particular zone.

22 Land Use codes as received from the County of Glenn are used to determine the basic use units to be assigned to each parcel. The following basic use units reflect the relative special benefit accruing to parcels of land within Zone B:

1. Developed parcel 1 unit

2. Vacant, developable parcel ½ unit

3. Undevelopable parcel 0 units
Accordingly, the annual assessment cost per parcel shall be obtained by dividing the total Zone B annual assessment cost by the total number of units within Zone B.

Traffic Signal:

The four-way traffic signal system, consisting of four traffic signals, street lighting and controller, was installed at the intersection of West Wood Street and North Airport Road to address traffic congestion resulting from the expanded Walmart Super Store. Prior to the Walmart development, there was no need for a traffic signal at this intersection.

The parcels within Zone B, receive direct and special benefits from the 4-way traffic signal. These special benefits include enhanced safety and security for the neighborhood, pedestrians, and vehicles, as well as ease of access and egress, and improved safety of the intersection. West Wood Street also carries traffic not associated with Zone B, and therefore the enhanced traffic control also confers a general benefit to the public at large.

The enhanced traffic control provided to north/south traffic on North Airport Road is considered to be a special benefit principally to Zone B as the traffic control in that direction serves their primary entrance to the north. Comparatively, there is very little traffic directed to the south, which serves the local Willows airport, and the general benefit provided in this direction is considered negligible.

The enhanced traffic control provided to east/west traffic along State Highway 162 is considered to provide primarily a general benefit to the public at large.

Therefore, the direct and special benefits provided to Zone B for improved traffic control in the north-south direction is considered to be one-half of the total traffic control benefits. The remaining one-half of the traffic control benefits, conferred on east-west traffic along State Highway 162, is considered a general benefit to the public.

The annual assessment cost for special benefits conferred to Zone B for traffic control shall be one-half of the total costs of providing and maintaining the 4 signals, lights and controller plus associated costs. The remainder of the costs associated with this signal is paid for by Caltrans, as West Wood Street is a State highway. This is indicated on the Assessment Diagram as 2 traffic signals.

Accordingly, the method by which the two Zone B parcels shall be assessed for traffic signal costs is determined by dividing the Zone B traffic signal costs by the total number of parcels within Zone B. The Zone B traffic signal costs include the cost of maintenance and operation of the City’s portion of the traffic signal (including lights), half the cost of the controller, and the administrative costs associated with this zone.

23 A Street Light Knockdown Reserve has been established for Zone B to cover expenses associated with replacing a street light if it is damaged or destroyed by a vehicle. The overall knockdown fund cost to be accumulated over a 5-year period is $5,000 (estimated expenses for manpower and equipment for replacing one streetlight). Once a fund balance of $5,000 is attained, no additional monies shall be collected for this fund until/unless there is the need to replace one of the streetlights or the cost of street light replacement is determined to have increased.

Zone C – South Willows Commercial and Industrial Center Zone C includes weed abatement, and the maintenance of landscaping and street lighting located within the South Willows Commercial and Industrial Center. The parcels within the zone receive a direct and special benefit from the weed abatement, landscaping and street lighting, which include enhanced desirability of properties within the zone, improved aesthetic appeal of the neighborhood, improved air quality, and enhanced safety and security for the neighborhood, pedestrians, and vehicles.

Although members of the general public may walk or drive through a zone and appreciate the increased safety and security resulting from improved street lighting or the aesthetic appeal of the maintained landscaping, this does not necessarily confer a general benefit to the public at large and, in any case, is determined to be negligible relative to the special benefits conferred upon the parcels within a particular zone.

Land Use codes as received from the County of Glenn are used to determine the basic use units to be assigned to each parcel. The following basic use units reflect the relative special benefit accruing to parcels of land within Zone C:

1. Developed parcel 1 unit

2. Vacant, developable parcel ½ unit

3. Undevelopable parcel 0 units
Accordingly, the annual assessment cost per unit shall be obtained by dividing the total Zone C annual assessment cost by the total number of units within Zone C.

A Street Light Knockdown Reserve has been established for Zone B to cover expenses associated with replacing a street light if it is damaged or destroyed by a vehicle. The overall knockdown fund cost to be accumulated over a 5-year period is $5,000 (estimated expenses for manpower and equipment for replacing one streetlight). Once a fund balance of $5,000 is attained, no additional monies shall be collected for this fund until/unless there is the need to replace one of the streetlights or the cost of street light replacement is determined to have increased.

The Zone C total Street Light Knockdown Replacement Fund to be accumulated over 5 years is $5,000. This amount, $5,000, divided by five years equals an annual Street Light Knockdown Reserve contribution of $1,000.

The annual Knockdown Reserve cost per unit shall be obtained by dividing the Zone C annual knockdown replacement cost ($1,000) by the total number of units within Zone C (as defined in this section above).

Page 122 of 150 ends

24 A Landscape Replacement Reserve has been established for Zone C to cover expenses associated with long-term landscaping items such as new bark mulch, plants, and replacement of the irrigation system, as needed. The overall Landscape Replacement Reserve costs are as follows:

Landscape Replacement Reserve Costs
New bark mulch to be replaced every five years: $2,000 ($8,000 over 20 years) New plants to be replaced over 10 years: $9,000 ($18,000 over 20 years) Irrigation system replacement every 20 years: $18,000 ($18,000 over 20 years) $44,000 over 20 years
The total Landscape Replacement Reserve to be accumulated over 20 years is $44,000. This amount, $44,000, divided by twenty years equals an annual landscape replacement fund of $2,200 for this zone.

The annual Landscape Replacement Reserve cost per unit shall be obtained by dividing the annual landscape replacement fund cost ($2,200) by the total number of units within Zone C (as defined in this section above).

25 MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE ASSESSMENT AND INFLATIONARY FACTORS In 2005, the original Engineer’s Report stated that assessments may be adjusted each year to account for inflation of costs and services in accordance with the Bay Area (San FranciscoOakland-San Jose) Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all urban consumers, or 3%, whichever is greater.

The annual adjustments to the Maximum Allowable Assessments are shown below.

Establishing the maximum available assessment each year and keeping up with inflation allows the assessments to be increased to this maximum amount sometime in the future if costs associated with this Assessment District increase (e.g., if in any year there are unanticipated expenditures due to such things as vandalism) and will preclude having to go through electorate approval per California Constitution Article XIII C, Section 2(b).

Agenda Item #7a
_____________________________________________________________________ Date: April 28, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Finance Tools to Fund Willows Police Department Recommendation:

Review and discuss options for financing the startup and ongoing costs to establish a Willows Police Department and provide direction to staff.

Rationale for Recommendation:

The Willows City Council has expressed its intent to re-establish the City’s Police Department.

Accordingly, staff has been directed to identify and present potential financing mechanisms to support both the initial startup costs and the ongoing funding necessary to sustain long-term operations.

Background:

In 2017, the City of Willows dissolved its municipal police department and entered into a five-year agreement with the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office to provide law enforcement and animal control services. As the agreement neared expiration in 2022, a newly elected Sheriff authorized a one-year extension to allow for a comprehensive evaluation of departmental budgets and service delivery costs.

Upon completion of this review, the Sheriff’s Office proposed a substantial increase in the cost of continuing law enforcement, dispatch, and animal control services. Following several months of negotiations, the City and the Sheriff’s Office reached consensus on a new three-year agreement, effective July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2026.

Concurrently, the City of Willows was experiencing a significant structural deficit, estimated at approximately $1.4 million annually in Fiscal Year 2024–25. In response, the City Council approved the placement of a 1.5% local sales tax measure on the November 2024 ballot. The primary objectives of this measure were to address the ongoing fiscal imbalance, restore General Fund reserves, and provide a potential funding source for the future re-establishment of the Willows Police Department.

At present, with fewer than three months remaining on the existing agreement with the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office and voter approval of the 1.5% sales tax measure secured, the City Council has directed staff to evaluate options for re-establishing a municipal police department and to identify sustainable funding strategies to support its long-term operations.

Discussion & Analysis:

Startup Costs
As outlined in Attachment 1, several financing mechanisms are available to fund the one-time startup costs associated with establishing a new Willows Police Department (WPD). These startup costs include items such as facility acquisition or renovation, patrol vehicles and fleet, technology systems (computer-aided dispatch, records management, body cameras), uniforms, weapons and duty equipment, and initial officer training and certification. The primary capital financing tools available to the City are a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District (CFD) bond, General Obligation (GO) bonds, and Certificates of Participation (COPs). Federal and state grants, developer impact fees, and General Fund reserves are supplemental sources discussed further below.

Mello-Roos Community Facilities District (CFD) — Bond Component. A Mello-Roos CFD is among the most flexible financing tools available to California cities. A CFD may issue bonds backed by a special tax levied on all parcels within specified district boundaries (which can be the boundaries of the City).

Bond proceeds are then used to fund eligible capital improvements such as police facilities, equipment, and vehicles. The special tax is levied annually on each parcel’s property tax bill and is used to repay the bonds over their term (typically 20–30 years). Formation of a CFD requires a two-thirds supermajority vote of the registered voters residing within the proposed district boundaries. For a citywide CFD encompassing all of Willows, this would be a citywide election. The 2023 fiscal emergency declaration and the strong performance of Measure I (approved by approximately 58% of voters) suggest meaningful community receptivity, though a two-thirds threshold is a materially higher bar. A key advantage of the CFD structure is that it can be designed to serve a dual purpose: bond proceeds fund startup capital, as well as an ongoing annual special tax levy for services to fund operations, providing long-term revenue certainty, which is further discussed in the Ongoing Operational Costs section.

General Obligation (GO) Bonds. GO bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the City and repaid through a voter-approved ad valorem property tax override levied on all taxable property within the City. Because they are secured by the City’s taxing authority, GO bonds typically achieve the lowest available interest rates of any tax-backed instrument, a meaningful advantage when financing multimillion dollar capital projects. Like a CFD bond, GO bonds require approval by a two-thirds supermajority vote. GO bonds are particularly well-suited to fund the acquisition or construction of a dedicated police facility, as they can be sized to match the full capital cost with repayment spread over 20–30 years. Unlike a CFD, however, GO bonds do not inherently carry a mechanism for ongoing operational funding, they are a capital financing tool only. A separate revenue source would need to be identified for ongoing department operations.

Certificates of Participation (COPs). COPs are a lease-revenue financing mechanism that does not require voter approval, making them procedurally simpler than either a CFD bond or GO bond. Under a COP structure, the City conveys a public asset, typically an essential use building such as a city hall or a future police facility, to a financing entity (typically a joint powers authority or a nonprofit public benefit corporation), which then leases the asset back to the City. The City’s obligation to make lease payments is securitized and sold to investors as certificates. COPs can fund construction, major renovation, or significant equipment acquisition. The principal tradeoff COPs when compared to GO

Page 132 of 150 ends

bonds and CFD bonds is twofold. First, COPs carry a modestly higher interest rate because they are not backed by a voter-approved tax pledge and therefore carry slightly higher credit risk from an investor perspective. Second, and critically for a city in Willows’ fiscal position, the annual lease payments must be appropriated by the City Council each year, they are not self-supporting from a dedicated revenue stream. This creates what is known as “non-appropriation risk”. For this reason, COPs issued without an identified, dedicated revenue source to support the annual debt service would create new structural budget pressure and are not recommended in this instance as a standalone capital financing tool unless a new revenue stream can be simultaneously established to cover the annual lease payments.

Federal and State Grants. Grants are an important supplemental source for startup costs but are not a reliable primary funding mechanism due to their competitive and time-limited nature. The City should pursue all applicable grant programs concurrent with capital planning, but the City’s startup budget should not be premised on grant funding that has not yet been secured.

General Fund Reserves, Impact Fees and Measure I Seed Funding. The City’s 1.5% sales tax (Measure I) became effective April 1, 2025, and the City received its first quarterly advance from the State in April 2025. Early Measure I proceeds can serve as bridge funding for initial procurement such as vehicles, equipment, and uniforms before longer-term capital financing is in place. Developer impact fees and General Fund reserves are currently largely committed to maintaining the City’s existing budget and addressing ongoing fiscal constraints.

Ongoing Operational Costs
With respect to ongoing operations, reallocating funds currently designated for the Sheriff’s contract would provide a substantial and immediate funding base for a re-established police department. The existing contract totals approximately $2.0–$2.4 million per year, representing the City’s current expenditure baseline for law enforcement services. However, the City’s overall financial position does not currently include sufficient General Fund reserves or surplus revenues to absorb escalating costs over time. Additionally, certain expenditures were not fully accounted for in the City’s 2025 WPD feasibility study, including increases in legal services, information technology infrastructure, and potential recruitment and hiring incentives. Long-term funding options for ongoing operations include the formation of a Mello-Roos CFD services levy or implementation of a special parcel tax.

Mello-Roos CFD — Ongoing Services Special Tax (No Bonds). A Mello-Roos CFD can be structured not only to issue bonds for capital purposes (startup costs), but also (independently or in combination) to levy an ongoing annual special tax for services without any bond component. In a services-only CFD, the City would form a citywide district and levy a special tax on all parcels each year, with revenues dedicated exclusively to funding police department operations. Unlike the CFD bond component, there is no debt service, no interest cost, and no obligation to repay principal. The levy is simply an annual charge on each parcel’s property tax bill, calculated according to a Rate and Method of Apportionment (RMA) adopted at district formation. The special tax can be indexed to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or a fixed annual escalator, ensuring that revenues keep pace with rising personnel and operational costs over time. Critically, the taxes can be structured to continue over a long period of time (up to 100 years) providing a permanent, dedicated, and budget-segregated funding stream for police services that cannot be reallocated to other general fund purposes. Formation requires a two-thirds

Page 133 of 150 ends

supermajority vote of registered voters. The services CFD is the most structurally sound long-term funding mechanism for ongoing operations and is the primary tool recommended for that purpose.

Special Parcel Tax. A special parcel tax is a flat or tiered per-parcel levy (for example, a fixed annual amount per residential unit, or a per-square-foot charge on commercial properties) dedicated to a specific public purpose such as police services. Unlike a CFD, a parcel tax does not require formation of a separate district; it is levied citywide through the City’s own municipal authority. A special parcel tax requires a two-thirds supermajority vote and, if approved, provides a dedicated revenue stream insulated from general fund budget pressures. The parcel tax is functionally similar to a services CFD in its outcome: an annual, dedicated, inflation-adjustable levy for police operations. Furthermore, it is somewhat simpler to administer since no district formation proceedings are required. The key structural distinction is that a services CFD can more easily incorporate a dual-use structure (capital bonds for startup costs such as facilities as well as a services levy in a single formation), while a parcel tax is limited to the ongoing services function.

Conclusion
Staff recommends distinct financing strategies for startup capital and ongoing operations, as the two needs differ fundamentally in their fiscal structure, time horizon, and appropriate funding mechanisms.

Startup Capital: Facilities CFD or General Obligation Bond (Recommended); COPs (Conditional). For onetime startup costs (principally facility acquisition or renovation, vehicles, and major equipment) staff recommends either a Mello-Roos CFD bond or a General Obligation bond as the primary capital financing mechanism. Both require a two-thirds supermajority vote and provide long-term, fixed-cost debt service repaid over 20–30 years, avoiding a large one-time draw on the General Fund. The CFD bond is preferred if the City wishes to combine startup capital financing with an ongoing services levy in a single formation election, providing a unified structure for both phases. The GO bond is preferred if the City’s primary capital need is a facility (police station) and the City wants the lowest possible borrowing cost. Certificates of Participation are conditionally viable as a capital tool, they avoid a ballot measure, which is a procedural advantage, but the annual lease payments must be supported by a dedicated, identified revenue stream. COPs issued without such a stream would create new structural budget pressure and are therefore not recommended unless a concurrent revenue measure is adopted to fund the annual debt service. In all scenarios, General Fund reserves and Measure I seed money can bridge early procurement costs while the primary financing mechanism is being structured and placed before voters.

Ongoing Operations: Mello-Roos CFD Services Special Tax (Recommended), Supplemented by Sheriff Contract Reallocation and Measure I. For annual operations, staff recommends a Mello-Roos CFD services special tax (structured without a bond component) as the primary long-term funding mechanism. A services CFD provides a dedicated, inflation indexed, long-term revenue stream levied on all parcels within the City, insulated from general fund budget pressure and unavailable for reallocation to other purposes. This structure directly addresses the fiscal vulnerability that led to the dissolution of the original police department in 2017: an operational cost that competed with other general fund obligations during periods of revenue stress. The services CFD levy, sized to cover fullyloaded annual WPD operating costs net of other identified revenues, creates the permanent funding foundation the department needs to remain sustainable. In the near term, prior to CFD formation,

Page 134 of 150 ends

annual operations would be funded through a combination of (1) reallocation of the existing Sheriff’s contract budget (approximately $2.0–$2.4 million per year), and (2) Measure I general sales tax revenues. If the City proceeds with a Facilities CFD bond for startup capital, the formation election can be structured to simultaneously authorize both the bond issuance and the ongoing services levy, reducing election costs and consolidating the community vote.

Should the City Council direct staff to proceed with either a Facilities CFD or a Services CFD (or a combination of both), it may also be prudent to consider incorporating funding for the Fire Department within the same formation structure. The Fire Department is an essential public safety service with ongoing capital and equipment needs, and combining both departments within a single CFD election would reduce formation and election costs while presenting voters with a unified public safety funding package.

Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

This agenda item is consistent with the Council’s Priority 3: Public Safety, Goal #1: Invest in the Startup of the Willows Police Department (WPD).

Fiscal Impact:

Should the City Council direct staff to proceed with CFD formation, staff notes that the professional costs associated with district formation (including municipal advisor, bond counsel, and special tax consultant fees) are customarily included in the CFD formation costs and recovered from bond proceeds or the initial levy (assuming a successful election), rather than from the General Fund. If the election is unsuccessful, the mentioned professional services associated with formation cost would need to be paid out of the General Fund. Costs associated with placing the measure on the ballot would also need to be funded from the General Fund in advance of the election. Staff estimates that CFD formation costs payable from the General Fund in the event that an election in unsuccessful would total an estimated $75,000 to $125,000, depending on the complexity of the CFD (services-only versus services plus facilities, as well as whether or not funding for fire services are included). If the Council directs staff to move forward with the Recommendation, staff will come back to the Council with fee proposals from the required consultants.

City of Willows
Police Department Formation Funding Tools
April 13, 2026
Summary of Available Financing Tools
Below is a summary of the available funding sources for the formation of a new Police Department in the City of Willows:

Fiscal Context and Baseline
First, the critical baseline: the current Sheriff contract totals $6,355,000 over 2.5 years:
$2.0M in FY 2023-24, $2.0M in FY 2024-25, and $2.355M in FY 2025-26, expiring June 30, 2026. This contract cost is the single most important number in the analysis, it establishes both what Willows is already paying and the approximate ongoing cost floor for any police service model. Importantly, when the department was originally disbanded in 2017, it was costing over $1.6 million annually, meaning the Sheriff's contract has grown roughly 45% in cost over the intervening years.

Attachment 1

Phase 1: Startup Capital Funding
The one-time costs of reconstituting a police department are substantial and distinct from ongoing operations. They include facility acquisition or renovation, vehicles and fleet, technology systems (CAD, RMS, body cameras), uniforms, weapons, and initial training.

Below are details on viable funding method for startup costs:

Mello-Roos Community Facilities District (CFD) — Bond Component The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Gov. Code §53311 et seq.) is the most versatile tool available. The Act allows for the City to establish a CFD which may provide financing for a broad range of public improvements and services, including police protection, fire protection, ambulance services, schools, parks, libraries, museums, and other cultural facilities. Willows could form a citywide CFD, issue bonds backed by a special tax levy on all parcels, and use the bond proceeds to fund the capital build-out of the new department. Formation requires a 2/3 vote of registered voters. The 2023 fiscal emergency declaration and the strong showing of Measure I (58%+) suggest community receptivity.

General Obligation Bonds
GO bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the City and repaid through an ad valorem property tax override. They require a 2/3 supermajority vote. Given the current community support trajectory, this is worth considering, particularly if the City needs to fund a new or renovated facility (e.g., a dedicated police station). GO bonds typically achieve the lowest interest rates of any tax-backed instrument.

Certificates of Participation (COPs)
COPs are a lease-revenue financing mechanism that does not require voter approval. The City would convey a public asset (e.g., city hall, a future police facility) to a financing entity, which leases it back to the City, with the lease payments securitized. COPs can fund construction or major equipment acquisition. The tradeoff is a slightly higher interest rate than GO bonds and the annual lease obligation must be appropriated by the City Council

Page 137 of 150 ends

(subject to non-appropriation risk). This is a viable path for facility financing without going to the ballot, pending budget availability.

Federal and State Grants
This is an important supplemental source for startup costs, but not necessarily a primary one. Some of the available programs include:
• COPS Hiring Program (U.S. DOJ): Provides funding for sworn officer positions for the first three years, then requires local assumption of costs. Highly competitive nationally but appropriate for Willows given its small size. • Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG): Flexible funding for equipment, technology, training, and personnel.
• California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC): Various competitive grants for local law enforcement programs.
• CalOES: Homeland security and public safety infrastructure grants.

Developer Impact Fees (Public Safety)
Under the California Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code §66000 et seq.), Willows can adopt a public safety development impact fee applicable to new residential and commercial construction. The fee must be nexus-justified (i.e., tied to the increased demand for police services generated by new development). While Willows is a small, slow-growth city, any future residential or commercial development can be required to contribute to the capital cost of police facilities and equipment. This would not likely provide substantial new funding, but could be reviewed as a supplemental funding option.

General Fund Reserves / Measure I Seed Money
The City's 1.5% sales tax is effective April 1, 2025, and the city received its first advance of the new quarterly sales tax revenue from the State in April 2025 as well. The early proceeds can be used as seed funding for startup costs or bridge financing for procurement before longer-term mechanisms are in place.

Page 138 of 150 ends

Phase 2: Ongoing Operations Funding
The annual operating budget is the harder, more durable challenge. A realistic ongoing budget for a small city police department of 13 officers/staff in California today likely runs at least $2.5 million annually when fully loaded with benefits, dispatch, records management, and overhead. The key strategic insight here is that the Sheriff contract cost ($2.0–2.4M/year) is already being paid and will be redirected, the question is what gap, if any, remains.

Measure I Sales Tax (Already Approved)
This is the cornerstone of ongoing funding. The 1.5% sales tax increase is projected to generate up to $2.3 million in tax revenue per year. The ballot measure has a 15-year time sunset date, after which the tax would expire unless extended by another ballot measure.

As a general (unrestricted) tax, spending is at Council discretion, which means the City should proactively build a police department line item into the annual budget to establish the spending pattern before the sunset question arises.

Sheriff Contract Cost Reallocation
This is arguably the most important element of any funding model. As the City transitions from the Sheriff contract to its own department, the $2.0-2.4M currently paid to Glenn County can be redirected to fund a Willows Police Department. The key modeling question is whether the City's own department can provide comparable or superior service at the same or lower cost. In 2017, the original department cost over $1.6M, inflation-adjusted to today, a comparable department would cost significantly more.

Mello-Roos CFD — Ongoing Services Tax
A citywide services CFD can be structured to levy an annual special tax specifically for police services, independent of the general fund. The CFD special tax rates are levied annually as part of each parcel's property tax bill and are subject to an annual inflation adjustment. The taxes do not expire but continue in perpetuity. This provides a dedicated, inflation-indexed, permanent revenue stream that is insulated from general fund budget pressures and cannot be raided for other purposes. Formation requires 2/3 voter approval, but the services CFD can be structured as a standalone mechanism layered on top of other revenues.

Page 139 of 150 ends

Parcel Tax (Special Tax)
A parcel tax is a flat or tiered tax per parcel (e.g., $X per residential unit, $Y per commercial square foot), placed on the ballot and requiring 2/3 voter approval. Unlike a CFD, a parcel tax does not require formation of a district, it's levied citywide through the City's own authority. It can be designated specifically for police services (making it a special tax), or structured as a general tax (simple majority required, but unrestricted in use). Given the community support shown in Measure I, a dedicated police parcel tax may be viable at 2/3 approval threshold.

Proposition 218 Assessment District (1972 Landscaping and Lighting Act / Other) An assessment district levies charges based on special benefit to property owners. Public safety is notoriously difficult to structure as an assessment district because courts have held that general police protection benefits the public at large, not specific parcels in a quantifiable way, making it hard to satisfy Prop. 218's special benefit nexus requirement.

This mechanism is not strongly recommended for police services, but may have limited applicability if a specific geographic area (e.g., a commercial corridor or new development area) can demonstrate a quantifiable, special benefit from enhanced police patrols.

Business License Tax Augmentation
The City can increase its business license tax and designate a portion of the increase for public safety. This requires only a majority Council vote if structured as a general tax, or 2/3 voter approval if structured as a special tax for police specifically. Willows' commercial base is modest, but the revenue contribution would be incrementally helpful.

Agenda Item #7b
_____________________________________________________________________ Date: April 28, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Laurie Loaiza, City Engineer
Joe Bettencourt, Community Development & Services Director Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Proposition 218 Sewer Rate Study
Recommendation:

Receive the initial presentation from LT Municipal Consultants (LTMC) regarding the City’s Proposition 218 Sewer Rate Study and provide preliminary comments and direction to staff.

Rationale for Recommendation:

It has been five years since the last Sewer Rate Study was completed and the industry standard is to complete a new rate study every five years.

Background:

On December 1, 2025, the City released a Request for Proposals for consultant services to prepare the City’s Proposition 218 Sewer Rate Study, with proposals due on January 8, 2026. The City received two proposals and, after review, staff determined LTMC to be the most qualified consultant based on qualifications, experience, understanding of the project scope, and ability to complete the study within the desired timeframe. On February 24, 2026, the City Council authorized execution of a contract with LTMC to prepare the study.

Discussion & Analysis:

The City’s existing sewer rate study was completed in 2021 and established rate increases through FY 2025-26. As the current rate period is now ending, the study must be updated to evaluate the current and projected financial needs of the Sewer Enterprise Fund and to develop an updated rate structure for future years.

Updating the study is necessary to ensure sewer rates continue to generate sufficient revenue to support ongoing operations, maintenance, debt service, capital improvement needs, reserve requirements, and other system obligations. A current study also provides the financial and technical basis for future rate recommendations and helps ensure the sewer utility remains stable, efficient, and compliant with Proposition 218 and other applicable requirements.

Page 141 of 150 ends

The initial presentation allows the City Council to review the initial findings of the sewer rate study and provide direction to staff before the study is finalized and any future rate recommendations are brought forward.

Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

Priority #4: Infrastructure Improvements, Goal #2: Implement the Capital Improvement Projects and Goal #4: Implement the Sewage Repair Plan as the sewer rate study will set appropriate sewer rates that cover the City’s operational and maintenance costs, allowing adequate funding for these needs.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact by considering the staff recommendation.

Agenda Item #7c
_____________________________________________________________________ Date: April 28, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Laurie Loaiza, City Engineer
Joe Bettencourt, Community Development & Services Director Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: SB 1 Transportation Funds – Project List for FY 2026-27 Recommendation:

Approve the attached resolution and following actions:

1. Review the recommended street projects to be funded with SB 1 monies.

2. Receive public comment.

3. Direct staff to make any changes, if necessary.

4. Adopt the attached resolution.

5. Direct staff to proceed with submitting the FY 2026-27 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) project list to the State for approval.

Rationale for Recommendation:

State regulations require that specific projects funded with SB 1 monies be annually approved by the City Council. Once approved, the City must report the project list, as well as associated project information, to the State for final approval.

Background:

In 2017, Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) was approved by then Governor Jerry Brown. The Bill provides new revenues for road maintenance projects within the City limits. According to State projections, for Fiscal Year 2026-27, the City is anticipated to receive approximately $167,784 in SB 1 revenues.

Discussion & Analysis:

Based on the City’s estimated allocations of SB 1 funds, the City is expected to receive the amount mentioned above from the State in FY 2026-27 for street improvement projects.

Page 143 of 150 ends

Based on information from the 2021 Pavement Management Program and Council input over the last year, staff recommends treatment of the following streets be included on the list provided to the State:
 Pavement Reconstruction of West Oak Street from South Murdock Avenue to South Lassen Street.

Furthermore, two streets approved last year and currently in design are also included on this list, as the construction will occur during FY 2026-27.
 Pavement Reconstruction of West Oak Street from South Marshall to South Murdock Avenues; and
 Pavement Reconstruction on the Madrone Manor cul-de-sac.

This street was determined using data from the City’s Pavement Management Plan (2021), focusing on roadway segments with low Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ratings, as well as areas located near Sycamore Park, which is slated to be improved with the Caltrans Clean California Grant that the City received.

The preliminary estimate for the treatment of West Oak Street from South Murdock Avenue to South Lassen Street is approximately $410,000, which includes design costs, construction costs, but not construction management or inspection costs. Costs are high for this project due to the deteriorated condition of this section of Oak Street. The road must be completely rehabilitated (e.g., pavement and base section of the road). Due to the expense of the overall project, it is anticipated that funding will use both the allocation of SB-1 for FY 2026-27, as well as contributions from Gas Tax and RSTP funds are anticipated.

The preliminary estimate for the treatment of West Oak Street, from South Marshall to South Murdock Avenues and Madrone Manor is approximately $600,000, which includes design costs, construction costs, but not construction management or inspection costs. Again, costs are high due to the deteriorated condition of both this section of Oak Street and Madrone Manor. The street for both of these segments must be completely rehabilitated (e.g., pavement and base section of the road). Due to the expense of the overall project, it is anticipated that funding will use both the rollover monies from the FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26. In addition, contributions from Gas Tax and RSTP funds are anticipated.

Unlike other “Gas Tax” funding that cities receive, SB 1 monies must be specifically identified and incorporated into the City’s adopted budget, and these projects must be submitted to the California Transportation Commission on an annual basis. Upon adoption of the resolution (Attachment 1), the City Engineer will complete the necessary documentation and submit it to the State.

Page 144 of 150 ends

Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

The proposed project is consistent with City Council Priority #2: Economic Development, Goal 5, by improving city appearance to attract businesses and visitors; and City Council Priority #3: Public Safety, Goal 3 to Improve Road and Public Safety.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact by adopting the proposed SB 1 list of proposed street projects for FY 2026-27 and submitting the list to the State. By submitting the adopted list and attached resolution, the City will fulfill State requirements.
