PRESENTATION

Agenda Item #8a
_____________________________________________________________________ Date: July 28, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Pioneer Community Energy - October 2027 Service Launch Recommendation:

Receive a presentation and update on Pioneer Community Energy’s planned service launch in the City of Willows in October 2027.

Rationale for Recommendation:

To inform the Willows City Council about Pioneer Community Energy’s (‘Pioneer’) service launch and facilitate advanced coordination of these efforts with the City of Willows.

Background:

Pioneer Community Energy and City of Willows staff began discussing the potential benefits of community choice aggregation (CCA) in 2024, including the advantages of joining Pioneer. On December 10, 2024, the City Council authorized staff to continue evaluating membership by jointly commissioning an Impact Assessment Study (IAS) with Glenn County and the City of Orland. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the economic feasibility of joining Pioneer and identify the optimal timing for implementation.

The results of the IAS were presented to the City Council by Pioneer at its January 28, 2025, meeting.

The study concluded that joining Pioneer would provide several potential benefits to the community, including increased customer choice, potential cost savings, local reinvestment of revenues, and local governance through a Board of Directors comprised of elected officials from member agencies. The study also determined that October 2027 would be the optimal service launch date.

On February 11, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 763-2025 and Resolution No. 06-2025, authorizing the implementation of a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program within the City of Willows and approving the Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement for Pioneer Community Energy pursuant to Public Utilities Code section 366.2.

In accordance with Public Utilities Code section 366(c)(3), Pioneer submitted its Implementation Plan and Statement of Intent to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) on March 11, 2025. The CPUC approved the Implementation Plan on June 9, 2025, establishing an October 2027 service launch

date. Subsequently, on July 9, 2025, all required documentation was filed with the California Secretary of State and the State Controller's Office, completing the City of Willows' membership in the Pioneer Community Energy Joint Powers Authority (JPA).

Discussion & Analysis:

The Winter 2024 Impact Assessment Study concluded that the optimal timeframe for Pioneer Community Energy to begin service in its expansion territories is October 2027.

As part of its commitment to being a strong community partner, Pioneer will work collaboratively with the City Council, City staff, community stakeholders, local leaders, and future customers to inform the public about its upcoming service launch. This effort will include the development and implementation of a comprehensive public education and outreach campaign designed to build awareness, increase understanding of community choice aggregation, and ensure residents and businesses have accurate, timely, and consistent information throughout the transition.

A key component of this effort will be maintaining a coordinated and reliable flow of information during the 15 months leading up to the October 2027 launch. Pioneer will implement a phased communications strategy, with outreach efforts increasing over time and using a variety of communication methods. Although specific tactics may evolve as implementation progresses, the overall strategy includes the following:
2026 – Early Education and Campaign Development
 Collaborate with City staff, elected officials, and community leaders to develop a comprehensive communications and public outreach campaign.  Conduct community research and fact-finding to better understand local needs and priorities.  Develop a paid media strategy and outreach budget.
 Establish and maintain an active presence with local Chambers of Commerce and other business organizations.
2027 – Public Outreach and Service Launch
 Beginning in early 2027 and continuing through the October service launch, implement a coordinated, multi-channel outreach campaign to educate residents and businesses about Pioneer and the upcoming transition.
 Develop and distribute a series of direct mail pieces introducing Pioneer, explaining how community choice aggregation works, answering frequently asked questions, and highlighting available programs and services.
 Use paid advertising, earned media, digital communications, and social media to maximize public awareness.
 Host community town hall meetings and informational workshops at accessible, high-traffic locations throughout the City.

 Conduct presentations for civic organizations, service clubs, senior centers, business groups, neighborhood organizations, and other community stakeholders.

Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

This initiative is consistent with Priority #2: Economic Development by fostering partnerships that inform the community about energy choices and programs that may benefit residents and local businesses while encouraging long-term community investment and engagement.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact on the City of Willows for marketing, communications, and outreach efforts.

However, Pioneer requests the collaboration and limited staff time to help prioritize target audiences, identify event locations, and ensure maximum effectiveness of these activities.

How Pioneer Works
Pioneer buys electricity on the open
market from various suppliers. Our
buying team works with sources to
negotiate pricing and ensure a
steady, affordable energy supply.

PG&E delivers electricity,
maintains the infrastructure of
power lines and poles, and
sends out bills to customers.

As a customer of both Pioneer and PG&E,
customers get a choice in electricity
providers. With Pioneer, you'll receive
competitive rates, a choice in energy
options and exceptional customer service.

_____________________________________________________________________ Date: July 28, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Joe Bettencourt, Community Development and Services Director Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Rice Lease Agreement on City-Owned Property
Recommendation:

Approve the Second Amendment to the Rice Farming Lease Agreement with Qaiser N. Ahmad, extending the lease term through November 30, 2027, with the option to extend the agreement for one additional one-year term through November 30, 2028, upon the mutual written agreement of both parties, and authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment.

Rationale for Recommendation:

Mr. Ahmad, the Lessee, wishes to continue to lease city-owned property for rice farming.

Background:

On November 30, 2023, the City of Willows entered into a three-year Rice Farming Lease Agreement with Qaiser N. Ahmad for approximately 56.6 acres of City-owned agricultural property. The lease commenced on December 1, 2023, and is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2026. Under the agreement, the property is leased exclusively for the planting, cultivation, and harvesting of agricultural crops.

The original agreement established an annual rental payment of $36,995 for the first year, with annual rent adjustments thereafter based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the West Urban, Size B/C Cities. The agreement also permits either party to terminate the lease by providing written notice no later than September 30 of any lease year.

Because the lease has proven to be mutually beneficial to both parties, staff recommend approving the Second Amendment to extend the lease through November 30, 2027. The amendment also provides the option for one additional one-year extension through November 30, 2028, subject to the mutual written agreement of both parties.

The proposed amendment continues to provide the City with a competitive, CPI-adjusted revenue stream while requiring the lessee to remain responsible for all water and operating costs associated

with the property. The extension also provides continuity for the 2027 growing season while preserving the Council's flexibility to evaluate whether to approve the optional final one-year extension.

Discussion & Analysis:

The First Amendment established annual rent of $36,015 for 55.1 acres, or approximately $653.63 per acre before subsequent CPI adjustments. The reduction in total annual rent reflects the corresponding reduction in leased acreage associated with the approximate one-acre area removed for solar installation. The resulting per-acre rate remains above both the USDA-reported 2025 California average of $483 per acre for irrigated cropland and the upper end of a published 2025 Sacramento Valley riceland rental range of approximately $300 to $600 per acre for Colusa, Glenn, Butte, and Tehama Counties. These benchmarks support staff’s conclusion that the current lease continues to provide the City with a competitive market return.

Extending the existing agreement also avoids the staff time, advertising expense, transition risk, and potential interruption associated with a new solicitation. Because the proposed extension preserves a market-supported rental rate, continues annual CPI adjustments, and places substantial operating obligations on the lessee, staff does not anticipate that a new bid process would produce a materially better net return to the City. The one-year extension followed by a discretionary second-year option provides continuity while preserving the City’s ability to reassess the arrangement before the fifth and final year.

Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

The proposed amendment supports Council Priority #1: Financial Stability by preserving recurring revenue from a city-owned asset under terms that remain favorable to the City.

Fiscal Impact:

Approval of the lease agreement will continue annual lease revenue to the City with annual CPI increases.

Agenda Item #9d
_____________________________________________________________________ Date: July 28, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Employee Wellness Initiative Policy
Recommendation:

Adopt Resolution No. XX-2026 (Attachment 1) approving the Employee Wellness Initiative Policy (Exhibit A) to promote employee well-being, morale, and workplace engagement.

Rationale for Recommendation:

Adoption of the Employee Wellness Initiative Policy (Exhibit A) establishes a clear, consistent framework for voluntary employee wellness activities while ensuring appropriate oversight and legal compliance.

Background:

City staff developed the proposed Employee Wellness Initiative Policy to formalize and guide voluntary wellness activities for City employees. The program titled, “Well Within Willows,” is designed to support a positive workplace culture and encourage healthy habits among employees.

Research and best practices in public sector management indicate that employee wellness programs can improve productivity, reduce absenteeism, enhance morale, and support employee retention. This policy provides a structured yet flexible framework for implementing such a program within the City of Willows.

Discussion & Analysis:

The proposed policy establishes a voluntary, low-cost wellness program available to all City employees, including full-time, part-time, and temporary staff.

The policy clarifies that participation is optional, protects employee privacy by prohibiting collection of medical data, and provides guidance on supervision, incentives, and use of work time. Formal adoption by the City Council affirms organizational support for employee well-being and provides a structured, low-cost approach to improving morale, engagement, and retention while minimizing risk to the City.

Key elements of the policy include:

 Voluntary Participation
o Participation is strictly optional, with no impact on employment status, evaluations, or benefits.
 Program Activities
o Activities may include wellness challenges, educational sessions, team-based activities, and community engagement opportunities. These are designed to be inclusive and accessible.
 Incentives
o Any incentives offered will be modest, participation-based, and compliant with applicable laws. They will not be tied to medical data or health outcomes.  Use of Work Time
o Participation during work hours requires supervisor approval and must not interfere with operational needs.
 Administration
o The program will be administered by the City Manager, or designee, who will coordinate activities and ensure compliance.
 Privacy Protections
o The policy explicitly prohibits the collection of medical or health data and limits tracking to participation only.
 Legal Compliance
o The program is designed to comply with federal and state laws, including ADA, Title VII, and FEHA.
 Safety Considerations
o Employees participate at their own discretion and are encouraged to consult healthcare providers before engaging in new physical activities.

The program is intentionally structured to be low-cost and flexible, using existing resources, community partnerships, and voluntary participation.

Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

The proposed Employee Wellness Initiative Policy is consistent with Priority #1: Financial Stability, specifically the goal of optimizing in-house staffing to improve financial efficiency by promoting employee retention, productivity, and workforce stability. It also aligns with the Council’s emphasis on

strengthening internal capacity and effective service delivery as identified in the 2025 Strategic Priorities Refresh.

Fiscal Impact:

The Employee Wellness Initiative is designed to operate within a modest annual budget, subject to City Council approval through the regular budget process. Costs are expected to be minimal and may include small participation incentives, programming materials, and limited staff coordination time.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Karleen Price, City Clerk

Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Update: Conflict of Interest Code
Recommendation:

Adopt Resolution XX-2026 amending the City of Willows Conflict of Interest Code.

Rationale for Recommendation:

The proposed amendments ensure the City's Conflict of Interest Code accurately reflect the current organizational structure and designated positions of the City.

Background:

The Conflict-of-Interest Code identifies the officials and employees required to file Statement of Economic Interests (e.g., FPPC Form 700) and establishes the disclosure categories applicable to each designated position.

The City Council last amended the City's Conflict of Interest Code in 2025 as part of the required biennial review. Since that time, organizational changes, staffing changes, and updates to position classifications have occurred. Accordingly, the designated positions and disclosure categories have been reviewed and updated to ensure the Conflict-of-Interest Code accurately reflects the City's current organizational structure and complies with the Political Reform Act, including updated position classifications, removal of obsolete or non-designated positions, and additions of newly established positions.

Discussion & Action:

Since the City Council's adoption of the current Conflict-of-Interest Code, changes to the City's organizational structure, staffing, and job classifications have made it necessary to update the list of designated positions and disclosure categories to accurately reflect current operations.

The proposed amendments remove positions that are no longer part of the City's organizational structure or that, based on their current duties, do not independently make or participate in making governmental decisions requiring designation under the Political Reform Act. Specifically, the proposed revisions remove the Accounting Manager position, which has been eliminated, and the Mechanic classification, based on a review of their assigned responsibilities.

The amendments also add the City Librarian as a designated position and assign an appropriate disclosure category. The proposed revisions were submitted to the City Attorney for review to ensure the designated positions and disclosure categories remain consistent with current Fair Political Practices Commission guidance and accurately reflect the City's present organizational structure. The proposed amendments are reflected in Exhibit A to the Resolution.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact.

Attachment:
• Exhibit A - City of Willows Conflict of Interest Code

Exhibit A

CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE OF THE CITY OF WILLOWS, CA
(Amended July 28, 2026)
The Political Reform Act (Gov. Code § 81000, et seq.) requires state and local government agencies to adopt and promulgate conflict of interest codes. The Fair Political Practices Commission has adopted 2 California Code of Regulations section 18730 which contains the terms of a standard conflict of interest code which can be incorporated by reference in an agency’s code. After public notice and hearing Regulation 18730 may be amended by the Fair Political Practices Commission to conform to amendments in the Political Reform Act.

Therefore, the terms of 2 California Code of Regulations section 18730 and any amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission are hereby incorporated herein by reference. This incorporation page, Regulation 18730 and the attached Appendix designating positions and establishing disclosure categories, shall constitute the conflict of interest code of the City of Willows (the "City").

The Mayor, Members of the City Council and Planning Commission, the City Manager, the City Attorney and the City Treasurer, shall electronically file their annual statements of economic interests directly with the Fair Political Practices Commission. All other officials and designated positions required to submit a statement of economic interests shall file their statements with the City Clerk as the City’s Filing Officer.

Agenda Item #9f
_____________________________________________________________________ Date: July 28, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Joe Bettencourt, Community Development & Services Director Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Delayed Caltrans Project - Willows CAPM Project EA: 03-0J510 Recommendation:

Adopt Resolution XX-2026 requesting that Caltrans reconsider the delayed Willows CAPM Project EA:
03-0J510 and restore the project to an earlier construction timeline, or alternatively advance the most critical safety, accessibility, drainage, and traffic operation improvements as soon as feasible.

Rationale for Recommendation:

Caltrans informed the city that the project has been delayed and would resume in 2028 and be completed by the Spring of 2031. This delay would defer known and documented infrastructure needs for several additional years and, as a result, roadway, drainage, and accessibility conditions are likely to worsen.

Background:

In April 2024, Caltrans completed environmental review of this highway improvement project. The project description identified the need to improve pavement conditions, prevent further deterioration of State Route 162, address flooding at PM 65.4, replace aging signs and Traffic Management System elements, and provide standard ADA curb ramps within the project limits.

The project documentation identified several existing conditions requiring correction, including deteriorating pavement, one drainage system needing redesign and replacement to reduce flooding, several aging roadside signs and three traffic monitoring stations requiring replacement, and 53 noncompliant ADA curb ramps requiring replacement. The construction of the ADA curb ramps would also require relocation of existing traffic signals at three intersections.

Following project development and environmental clearance, the latest project timeline available to the City called for completion by the end of 2027. However, the project has now been delayed to the Spring of 2031.

Discussion & Analysis:

The City understands that Caltrans must balance statewide transportation priorities, project readiness, and funding availability. However, the Willows CAPM Project addresses documented deficiencies on a key State Route corridor through the City, and delaying the project until Spring 2031 will leave those deteriorating conditions unimproved for several additional years.

Furthermore, State Route 162 through Willows has demonstrated measurable pavement deterioration.

Project documentation identified that Alligator B Cracking was projected to increase from 3.61% to

14.02% by project delivery in 2031. This represents a substantial increase in pavement distress and indicates that the roadway condition is expected to continue declining if improvements are delayed increasing the cost of repair or replacement.

The project documentation also identified that the International Roughness Index, or IRI, was projected to increase from 172 to 188 by project delivery. IRI is a standard measurement of pavement smoothness and ride quality. Lower numbers indicate smoother pavement, while higher numbers indicate rougher pavement. An IRI around 170 inches per mile is generally considered poor, meaning the roadway is already in poor ride condition and projected to worsen. This is important because the delay is not simply postponing a routine paving project; it is extending the life of a corridor that is already documented as deteriorated and trending worse.

Delaying the project may also increase future costs. Pavement preservation projects are typically most cost-effective when completed before roadway conditions deteriorate further. If the project is pushed to 2031, the City is concerned that the pavement condition, drainage issues, and related infrastructure needs may worsen, potentially requiring more extensive and costly work later.

The delay also prolongs known accessibility and safety concerns. The project includes replacement of 53 non-compliant ADA curb ramps, drainage improvements to reduce flooding risk, and upgrades to aging traffic and transportation infrastructure. These improvements affect residents, businesses, visitors, pedestrians, individuals with disabilities, and motorists using State Route 162 through Willows.

Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

This item is consistent with City Council Priority #4: Infrastructure Improvements.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund by adopting the attached resolution XX-2026.

Agenda Item #9g
_____________________________________________________________________ Date: July 28, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Joe Bettencourt, Community Development & Services Director Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Jensen Park, Softball Fields - Electrical Panel Upgrades Recommendation:

Approve award of contract to Tice and Bolinger Electrical in the amount of $15,800 and authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement to upgrade the electrical panel at the Jensen Park softball fields (east and west).

Rationale for Recommendation:

Electrical panel upgrades are necessary to safely install and operate the City-purchased lighting control timers as a recommended expenditure in the 2008 Nexus Study for expending Development Park Impact Fees.

Background:

The City previously purchased lighting control equipment for the East and West softball fields at Jensen Park. The equipment will allow the City to better control field lighting schedules, reduce unnecessary electrical use, and improve the operation of the softball field lighting system.

During coordination regarding installation of the new timers, City staff discussed the existing electrical systems with Pacific Gas and Electric Company and two electrical contractors. Through those discussions, it was determined that the electrical panels serving both softball fields were extremely outdated and presented safety and code-compliance concerns. The existing panels were not suitable for integration with the new lighting control equipment. As a result, replacement and upgrading of the panels became necessary before the city-purchased timers could be installed.

The City prepared an informal bid package for the Jensen Park East and West Softball Field Electrical Panel Upgrades. The bid opportunity was posted on the City’s website on June 26, 2026, and published in the newspaper on July 3, 2026. Bids were due by 4:00 p.m. on July 13, 2026.

Tice and Bolinger Electrical submitted a responsive bid for the complete project scope and is qualified to perform the work.

Discussion & Analysis:

The project includes replacement of the electrical panels serving the east and west softball field systems, together with the work necessary to provide complete, safe, and code-compliant installations and installation of the MUSCO light control systems.

The bid documents required an active California C-10 Electrical Contractor license and applicable Department of Industrial Relations registration. The work is also subject to prevailing wage, insurance, safety, and other applicable public works requirements.

Completing the project will correct the identified electrical deficiencies and allow the City to place the previously purchased lighting controls into service. The improvements will provide safer and more reliable electrical systems and give staff greater control over when the softball field lights are operated.

Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

The project is consistent with the Council’s Priority #4: Infrastructure Improvement and Priority #5:

Quality of Life by addressing an outdated public facility, improving safety and reliability, and supporting the continued recreational use of Jensen Park.

Fiscal Impact:

The contract amount is $15,800. Funding will be provided from the Park Development Impact Fees.

To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Nathan Monck, Fire Chief
Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Public Hearing: Weed Abatement Special Assessment & Cost of Abatement Recommendation:

Conduct a Public Hearing and upon its conclusion, consider adoption of the attached XX-2026 Resolution confirming the cost of abatement and declaring a special assessment on those properties that were abated by the City.

Rationale for Recommendation:

The Willows City Council approved the schedule and process for the 2026 Weed Abatement Program.

The public hearing offers property owners the opportunity to contest charges associated with City’s Weed Abatement Program.

Background:

On April 28, 2026, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring rubbish, refuse, and weeds to be a public nuisance. In addition, the Willows Fire Department conducted a survey of the areas in town that were a nuisance. Property owners were notified and directed to remove said nuisances, or the City would perform the removal and invoice the property owner accordingly.

In accordance with the California Administrative Code, a hearing is required prior to the adoption of the resolution confirming cost of weed abatement and declaring those costs a lien against properties on which the City performed abatement. The purpose of this hearing is to discuss the cost of abatement only. The hearing to protest and order abatement was held on May 12, 2026. The public notice announcing this public hearing was published in the local newspaper of general circulation, the Valley Mirror.

Discussion & Analysis:

During the 2026 Weed Abatement Program, 21 properties were abated. Of those, 14 properties were owned by absentee property owners who do not live in the Willows area.

Fiscal Impact:

Properties that the City Contractor abated have been billed to the property owner, including a 25% administrative fee. For those property owners who do not pay, there will be a lien placed against their property and it will appear on their next tax statement from the County of Glenn.

Subject: Utility Billing Module – Tyler Technologies
Recommendation:

Based on the City Council's decision at its July 14, 2026, meeting not to authorize the Part-Time Utility Biller job classification, direct staff to either:

1. Terminate the City's contract with Tyler Technologies for the Sewer Utility Billing Module, resulting in a non-recoverable cost of $29,803; or

2. Continue funding the Tyler Technologies Sewer Utility Billing Module until a future Part-Time Utility Biller may be hired and implementation of the City's in-house sewer utility billing system may resume, at an estimated cost of $38,566 for Fiscal Year 2026–27.

Rationale for Recommendation:

On July 14, 2026, the City Council did not approve the Part-Time Utility Biller job classification so that staff may hire for the position and bring sewage billing in house. As a result, staff seek direction on whether to proceed with paying for the Utility Module with no staff to implement it or discontinue the project and initiative.

Background:

Historically, the City has contracted with California Water Service (Cal Water) to include the City's sewer charges on commercial customers' monthly water bills. Based on prior discussions, staff understood that Cal Water intended to discontinue providing this service, consistent with its transition away from utility billing services for other jurisdictions throughout California. Accordingly, with City Council authorization, staff began transitioning the City's utility billing operations in-house during Fiscal Year 2025–26 and has been implementing the Tyler Technologies Utility Billing Module.

At its July 14, 2026, meeting, the City Council expressed its desire to reconsider its previous direction to implement an in-house utility billing program. Following that meeting, Cal Water confirmed that it is

willing to continue providing commercial sewer billing services on the City's behalf, while Glenn County will continue providing residential sewer billing services.

To date, the City has incurred $15,923 in costs associated with the Tyler Technologies Utility Billing Module and the transition to in-house utility billing. Should the Council direct staff to terminate the Tyler Technologies licensing and support agreement, the contract requires four weeks' written notice of termination. During that notice period, Tyler Technologies will continue providing implementation services, resulting in an additional $13,880 in contractual costs. Consequently, terminating the agreement at this time would result in a total nonrecoverable cost of $29,803.

Because the City is currently within Tyler Technologies' four-week contractual cancellation period for the scheduled implementation and go-live activities planned for the weeks of August 17 and August 24, 2026, the City remains responsible for the associated implementation costs regardless of whether it proceeds with the project or terminates the agreement.

Discussion & Analysis:

Staff seek Council direction on whether to continue or discontinue implementation of the Tyler Technologies Utility Billing Module. Because the City's scheduled implementation activities fall within Tyler Technologies' contractual four-week cancellation period, the City remains responsible for the contracted implementation costs regardless of whether it completes or terminates the project.

If the Council directs staff to continue implementation, staff will proceed with the scheduled training, customer data conversion, system configuration, and go-live activities. To remain on schedule, designated City staff must complete approximately 15 to 20 hours of Tyler ERP Pro 10 end-user training. The training will prepare staff to establish and maintain customer accounts, process utility bills and adjustments, manage service orders and payment arrangements, receive and post payments, balance daily receipts, and respond to customer billing inquiries.

Although implementation would be completed, the Utility Billing Module cannot be placed into operation without a Part-Time Utility Biller. Accordingly, the City would continue relying on California Water Service for commercial sewer billing and Glenn County for residential sewer billing unless and until the City Council authorizes the Part-Time Utility Biller position and appropriates funding to fill it.

Upon completion of implementation, the City would have a fully configured utility billing system available for future use. To maintain the system, the City would be required to pay the annual subscription fee of $8,673, with the next payment due in September 2026. Maintaining the subscription would preserve the City's investment and avoid the need to repurchase and reimplement the Utility Billing Module should the Council later decide to bring utility billing operations in-house.

However, it would remain unused until a Part-Time Utility Biller position is authorized and hired.

Continuing implementation would also preserve the City's existing professional services rate of $120 per hour, negotiated approximately three years ago under the current agreement. Tyler Technologies' current professional services rate is $145 per hour. In addition, based on discussions with Tyler Technologies, a new implementation initiated today could not be scheduled until 2028.

If the Council directs staff to discontinue implementation, the City will remain responsible for all contracted implementation costs because the project is already within the contractual cancellation period. While terminating the agreement would eliminate future annual subscription fees once the termination becomes effective, the City would forgo the benefit of the implementation services for which it is already contractually obligated to pay.

Should the Council later decide to implement the Utility Billing Module, the City would be required to repurchase and re-implement the system again, including new licensing, setup, configuration, data conversion, training, and professional services. Those services would be billed at Tyler Technologies' rates in effect at that time and would be subject to Tyler's future implementation schedule (e.g., 2028 or later).

Accordingly, the Council's decision is whether the long-term benefits of completing implementation, including preserving the City's existing investment, maintaining a fully configured utility billing system, retaining the City's favorable contracted professional services rate, and avoiding future implementation costs, justify the ongoing annual subscription fee of $8,673 until such time as the City may elect to place the system into operation by hiring a Part-Time Utility Biller.

Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

The current initiative is consistent with Council Priority #1: Fiscal Stability by improving internal efficiencies and bringing sewage billing in-house, as well as customer service.

Fiscal Impact:

Continuing implementation of the Tyler Technologies Utility Billing Module will result in no additional fiscal impact to the Fiscal Year 2026–27 budget beyond the costs already budgeted or contractually obligated. The City will remain responsible for the implementation costs regardless of whether the project proceeds or is discontinued due to the contractual four-week cancellation provision.

Agenda Item #11b
____________________________________________________________________________ Date: July 28, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Library Board Structure & Appointments
Recommendation:

Consider the following options related to the structure of the Library Board and appointments to the Board of Trustees, and direct staff to proceed in accordance with the Council's preferred option.

Rationale for Recommendation:

Because there are currently three vacancies on the Board of Trustees, and the City Council has engaged in several discussions regarding the Board's current structure, this is an appropriate time for the Council to either reaffirm the existing governance structure and appoint new trustees or direct staff to return with one of the alternative governance options outlined in this staff report.

Background:

Following the resignation of former Library Director Jody Meza in June 2025, the City Manager assumed the role of Acting City Librarian on an interim basis. During this transition, several governance and operational issues were identified, including longstanding tensions between the Library Board of Trustees, City Council, and City administration. It was also determined that certain Board practices were not fully compliant with the Brown Act and that the library lacked a comprehensive set of current, formally adopted policies governing Board operations and library administration.

City staff worked with the Library Board of Trustees to address these issues by providing guidance on Brown Act requirements, developing and implementing consistent policies, encouraging greater collaboration with City leadership, and promoting transparency and accountability in Board operations.

While some progress was made, efforts to modernize governance practices and strengthen coordination between the Board, City Council, and City administration were met with significant resistance. Challenges have included reluctance to modify longstanding practices, adopt standardized policies, engage directly with the City Council, and work collaboratively with City management.

Despite ongoing efforts to improve communication, governance, and operational transparency, these concerns have persisted and continue to present challenges to the effective administration and oversight of library services.

Discussion & Analysis:

Staff have made consistent efforts to work collaboratively with the Library Board of Trustees, respond to requests for information and data, and improve library administration, operations, oversight, and programming. These efforts have included providing requested materials, addressing Board questions, recommending best practices, and seeking to strengthen communication and coordination between the Board, City staff, consultants, and the City Council.

Despite these efforts, staff continue to experience significant challenges in implementing administrative and operational improvements. The Board has frequently expressed skepticism toward staff and consultant recommendations, required extensive validation of routine administrative matters, and resisted proposed changes intended to align library operations with recognized best practices. While staff have repeatedly attempted to improve working relationships and accommodate Board requests, resistance to change and a lack of trust in City staff have continued to impede progress.

In addition, there have been multiple occasions in which interactions between individual Board Trustees and members of the City Council or City staff have been disrespectful, unprofessional, or otherwise inconsistent with the collaborative working relationship necessary to support effective library governance. These ongoing dynamics have created barriers to productive library management and have affected the City Librarian’s ability to efficiently administer the library, implement new programming, and advance service improvements for the community.

For these reasons, staff seek Council direction to implement one of the following three options:
 Option A – No Change
Retain the current Library Board of Trustees structure and the existing agreement with the City Council (Attachment 1). Direct staff to immediately begin recruiting to fill the three vacant positions on the Library Board of Trustees.
 Option B – City Council and Board of Supervisors Become Library Board of Trustees Amend the Willows Municipal Code to replace the current Library Board of Trustees structure, comprised of appointed members of the public, with a new governing structure consisting of three members of the City Council and two members of the Glenn County Board of Supervisors.

Because Glenn County provides an annual General Fund contribution that accounts for nearly one-third of the library's operating budget, it is reasonable and appropriate for the County to have direct representation on the Library Board of Trustees. Under this model, the governing board would consist of three City Councilmembers and two members of the Board of Supervisors and would be responsible for oversight of the library's budget, trust funds, special accounts, and library policies.

Should the Council select this option, direct staff to contact Glenn County to determine its interest in participating in the proposed governance structure. Staff would then prepare the necessary Municipal Code amendments, resolutions, and any other required documentation for

the City Council's consideration at the August 25 City Council meeting.  Option C – Library Board of Trustees and Citizen Advisory Committee Amend the Willows Municipal Code to replace the current Library Board of Trustees structure, comprised of appointed members of the public, with a new governing structure consisting of three members of the City Council and two members of the Glenn County Board of Supervisors.

As discussed previously, it is reasonable and appropriate for Glenn County to have direct representation on the Library Board of Trustees because the County's annual General Fund contribution accounts for nearly one-third of the library's operating budget. Under this structure, the Board of Trustees would serve as the governing body responsible for oversight of all General Fund revenues supporting the library's operating budget.

Concurrently, staff recommend establishing a Willows Public Library Citizen Advisory Committee consisting of five appointed members: three City of Willows residents and two residents of unincorporated Glenn County. The Advisory Committee would be appointed by the Library Board of Trustees and would serve in an advisory capacity by reviewing and making recommendations on library operations and policy matters. Specifically, the Committee would review and approve expenditures from the library's trust funds, consider staff-prepared draft library policies and provide recommendations to the Board of Trustees, and annually review and make recommendations regarding the library's General Fund operating budget.

As shown in Attachment 2, the City of Redding uses a similar governance model for its public library. In Redding's case, the Library Board of Trustees is composed solely of City Councilmembers, presumably because Shasta County does not contribute to the library's operating budget.

Should the Council select this option, staff recommend directing staff to contact Glenn County to determine its interest in participating in the proposed governance structure. Staff would then prepare the necessary Municipal Code amendments, resolutions, and any other required documentation for the City Council's consideration at the August 25 City Council meeting. Staff would also seek Council direction at that meeting to begin soliciting applications for appointment to the Citizen Advisory Committee.

Staff Recommendation
Given the feedback received from the community and the Glenn County Board of Supervisors, staff recommend Option C, as it preserves meaningful community involvement in library governance while addressing the City Council's and staff's concerns regarding fiscal oversight, governance, and day-to-day management.

Staff also recommend replacing the current Library Board application (Attachment 3) with the revised application (Attachment 4), which more closely reflects current best practices and the application formats used by other public libraries.

Finally, staff recommend relocating Library Board of Trustees and Citizen Advisory Committee meetings to the City Council Chambers, videotaping the meetings, and scheduling them for 5:30 p.m. or 6:00 p.m. rather than 11:00 a.m. Holding meetings during the evening in a larger, publicly accessible venue will improve transparency, increase public accessibility, and provide greater opportunities for community participation.

Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

The recommended action is consistent with Council Priority #5: Quality of Life by guaranteeing library programs and services are funded in a timely manner and ensuring community transparency, building trust, and fostering shared ownership of Willows’ future. In addition, it also supports the Council’s Cross-Cutting Priority: Community Engagement by moving Library Board meetings to shortly before regular Council meetings and after 5:00 pm encouraging greater public participation, as well as moving the meetings into Council Chambers for video recording offering another opportunity for public viewing and participation.

Fiscal Impact:

Other than staff time, there is no fiscal impact by approving the recommended action.

 Attachment 3: Current Library Board Application

To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Neighborhood Watch Program
Recommendation:

Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Crime Free Living to assist the City of Willows in establishing a Neighborhood Watch Program in an amount not to exceed $16,000.

Rationale for Recommendation:

Establishing and supporting a robust Neighborhood Watch Program is widely recognized as a best practice in community policing.

Background:

As of July 1, 2026, the City of Willows has been without a law enforcement services agreement with the Glenn County Sheriff's Office. In response, community members have expressed a strong interest in establishing Neighborhood Watch Groups to help strengthen communication, encourage crime prevention, and enhance neighborhood engagement.

While the City continues to secure temporary law enforcement services, resolve its contract dispute with the Glenn County Sheriff's Office, and work toward re-establishing its police department, this is an appropriate time to launch a formal Neighborhood Watch Program in the City of Willows. Such a program will provide residents with an opportunity to become more actively involved in supporting public safety and fostering stronger partnerships between the community and future law enforcement personnel.

Discussion & Analysis:

As the attached proposal illustrates, Crime Free Living would partner with the City of Willows to develop and implement a citywide Neighborhood Watch Program over a 12-month period.

Under the proposal, Crime Free Living would organize and establish up to ten Neighborhood Watch Groups throughout the community; provide resident training and educational materials; coordinate community meetings; and administer all aspects of the program from implementation through completion.

The goal of the program is to strengthen neighborhoods, improve communication between residents and law enforcement, reduce opportunities for crime, and foster a culture of community involvement.

Upon completion of the contract, the City would have a well-organized, sustainable Neighborhood Watch Program capable of continuing to serve residents long after the initial implementation period.

Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

The proposed initiative is consistent with the Council’s Priority #3: Public Safety.

Fiscal Impact:

There are sufficient funds in the law enforcement budget to fund this program in an amount not to exceed $16,000.

Executive Summary
Crime Free Living proposes to partner with the City of Willows to develop and implement a citywide Neighborhood Watch Program over a 12-month period.

The project is designed to strengthen neighborhoods, improve communication between residents and law enforcement, reduce opportunities for crime, and build a culture of community involvement.

During the project, Crime Free Living will organize and establish up to ten Neighborhood Watch groups, provide community training, coordinate meetings, supply educational materials, and administer the program from start to fnish.

The objective is to leave the City with an organized, sustainable Neighborhood Watch Program that continues to beneft residents well beyond the initial contract period.

About Crime Free Living
Crime Free Living specializes in crime prevention education, community safety programs, and Neighborhood Watch development.

Founder Tim Truby has more than 26 years of experience in the security and crime prevention profession, including 13 years with the Chico Police Department. Throughout his career, he has successfully organized and trained dozens of Neighborhood Watch groups and has instructed crime prevention professionals throughout California.

Additional benefts include:
•Stronger neighborhoods
•Increased resident involvement

Following the frst year, Crime Free Living is available to assist the City with:
•Organizing additional Neighborhood Watch groups
•Refresher training for volunteers

Crime Free Living looks forward to working with the City of Willows to establish a successful Neighborhood Watch Program that will beneft the community for years to come.

Respectfully submitted,
Tim Truby

Agenda Item #11d
_____________________________________________________________________ Date: July 28, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Private Security – City Facilities
Recommendation:

Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Elite Universal Security for armed private security services in an amount not to exceed $13,000 per month. The agreement shall remain in effect until the City enters into a new law enforcement services agreement or re-establishes the Willows Police Department and resumes law enforcement services with sworn peace officers.

Rationale for Recommendation:

The City's contract with the Glenn County Sheriff's Office expired on June 30, 2026. Since that time, the City has been without a formal law enforcement services agreement. Although the Sheriff's Office has stated that it will continue to fulfill its constitutional and statutory obligations and duties, neither statute nor case law clearly defines the scope of those obligations in the absence of a contract.

Because the City has a legal responsibility to provide a safe workplace for its employees, staff recommend executing a contract for armed private security services on an interim basis until formal law enforcement services provided by sworn peace officers are restored in the City of Willows.

Background:

On June 30, 2026, the City of Willows law enforcement services agreement with the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office expired. On June 29, 2026, the City Council declared a state of Public Safety Emergency and the Governor’s Office and the Office of the Attorney General were immediately notified. The City is still awaiting a formal response and determination from the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) to determine whether the State will provide mutual assistance (e.g., California Highway Patrol) to the City of Willows.

On July 6, 2026, the City of Willows hired a law enforcement consultant, Mike Maloney of Maloney Consulting and Investigation Solutions (“Maloney Consulting”) to assist the City with securing mutual aid and overtime officer patrols from neighboring jurisdictions while concurrently starting to reestablish the City of Willows Police Department. Since then, the City has learned that there are no neighboring jurisdictions that are able to enter an agreement with the City without a sworn officer

supervising patrols in the city limits (e.g., Chief of Police), as well as citing other liability and risk concerns.

Discussion & Analysis:

Since the City has a legal responsibility to provide a safe workplace for its employees, staff recommend entering into a contract for armed private security services on an interim basis until formal law enforcement services provided by sworn peace officers are restored in the City of Willows.

To that end, staff solicited proposals and bids from the following three private security firms: Elite Universal Security, Armed Guard Private Security and HQ Security. The bid request included the following scope of work: one-armed private security guard in a private security marked vehicle stationed at the Civic Center Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm with periodic patrols to the Fire Station and Corporation Yard, as well as attendance at City Council meetings twice per month for up to four hours.

Of the three bid requests, HQ Security did not submit a proposal by the deadline of Thursday, July 23.

Elite Universal Security and Armed Guard Private Security both submitted proposals for one-armed security guard in a marked vehicle, Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. However, Armed Guard was unable to offer private security for City Council meetings and, therefore, was deemed unresponsive to the request.

Elite Universal Security’s proposal (Attachment 1) will cost the City approximately $2310 per week and $1400 per month for two, four-hour City Council meetings, totaling approximately $10,640 per month.

However, since there are frequently more than exactly four weeks in a month, staff proposes a monthly not to exceed amount of $13,000.

Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

The proposed initiative is consistent with Priority #3: Public Safety.

Fiscal Impact:

Should the Council approve the staff recommendation, the cost will not exceed $13,000 per month for one-armed security officer during regular business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.), as well as security services for up to two City Council meetings per month. Sufficient General Fund appropriations are available to fund these interim services.

Company Description, Years in Business
California Security Services, Inc. DBA Elite Universal Security was founded in 2002 and opened its doors January 1, 2003. Since then we have striven to be a leader in the security industry with our standard of professionalism and performance. Currently we employ around 100 employees with a wide variety of experience. We have projects from the Sacramento area to the Oregon border as well as in Oregon. We maintain offices in Marysville, Chico, and Redding and we look forward to opening new offices in additional locates as need.

Since we are a local and American-owned company, any problems are addressed in an immediate fashion without waiting to receive a call back from someone overseas. Our office is fully staffed six days a week and is supported by a 24-hour-a-day, seven days a week, dispatch center. This means you can reach a human being anytime or the day or night, including weekends and holidays. Most of the current companies use cell phones, answering services or answering machines to conduct business. We do not feel this is a proper way to manage a business efficiently. Look at it this way, if you were being assaulted in your home would you like to call 911 and have to leave a message for someone to call you back at their convenience, NO!
Our management team has a combined 40+ years in the security and management industry with experience in both Military to and Law Enforcement venues.

On our list of current clients, we include the cities of Redding, Yuba City, Chico, Counties of Yuba, Sutter, Butte and State of California and private contracts as well. Some of the duties include entry control for Courthouses, Department of Social Services, Child Support, Employment Development, airport screening, and jail inmate watches. We also provide physical security at the VA National Cemetery in Portland OR.

Our organizational structure is very simple as it stems from the military and has proven to be very effective. Our officers in the field will maintain constant communications with the client and our management team through our fully-staffed 24-hour dispatch center. As you can see this represents a higher standard of communication over the majority of security companies. Our dispatch center insures you can always contact a supervisor or manager anytime, anywhere and for any reason.

California Security Services, Inc. DBA Elite Universal Security maintains licensed officers as required under California law and maintains strict adherence to SB 2880 training requirements. Due to the new requirements in the security industry, Elite has entered into agreement with API Academy for all its training needs. As part of our agreement, we have our own BSIS Certified firearms instructors and our own private range which allows us to maintain a higher standard of training than that required by the state for the weapons certification.

All our employees must pass a full background check which researches at least 7 years to obtain their guard card from the state of California; but they also must meet our requirements. Currently all employees must be drug and alcohol tested at the time of employment and on a random basis as well to fulfill any special requirements of any contract. They are also subject to criminal background check at the time of employment and again yearly to assure no problems have occurred. Some of the additional checks performed in our hiring process include DVM and Credit checks.

Information contained shall be considered Confidential, Trade Secrets, Proprietary and shall not be duplicated or released without written consent of CSS Inc. 3
Currently California Security Services DBA Elite Universal Security has no litigation filed or pending against the firm. California Security Services, Inc. DBA Elite Universal Security has not filed for bankruptcy nor have we experienced any credit or cash flow problems.

All officers assigned to these locations have a chain of command in which to elevate any issues. Should a problem arise which the officer cannot, or does not have the authority, to handle, the problem will be referred to that person’s direct supervisor or manager. That person generally will deal with any issues and maintain a constant relationship with each of the facility directors. The manager or supervisor will also be expected to maintain open communications with upper management as well. On the rare occasion upper management is brought into the discussion, the Operations Manager generally will be the person to deal with any and all issues at that level. Once a problem has been brought to the attention of the Operations Manager, the results can range from disciplinary actions, changes in SOP’s, removal of officers or even addition of officers if the issue requires it. Again, all issues will be handled in the most professional manner possible. The facility director will be kept in the loop at all times. We believe the best policy to be honest and the best way to achieve this is with open communications at all times.

I would also like to point out our philosophy regarding uniforms. We wear a highly visible and professional uniform at all times. This includes clean and pressed white business shirt, clean and pressed black uniform pants, black tie and polished shoes. Maintaining a clean and professional image helps to promote a professional attitude and create a professional environment.

As you may be aware, there are many security companies whose guards wear black in order to mimic police or to “hide to catch the thief”. We do not feel this is a good or professional attitude primarily due to possible confusion with law enforcement officers which could possibly result in legal issues. Secondly, the job of the security guard is to deter any criminal act from happening. We feel high visibility can help in our mission to deter criminal acts from occurring. We also believe high visibility prevents the confusion that may be caused by uniforms looking too much like local law enforcement uniforms.

If California Security Services, Inc. DBA Elite Universal Security is awarded the contract, the following steps will be initiated. The Operations Manager, Michael Hahn, will contact you to set up a meeting to explore any special procedures you wish to be placed in an operating procedure handbook. Mike will also inform you of the officers we have earmarked for the locations.

After your approval of the officers, a set of operating instructions will be formalized and set in place as guidelines for reference. In these procedures will be listed the chain of command in your facility as well as in relationship to the officer. The procedures will also address dealing with problems and possible scenarios. The manager and/or supervisors will be assigned to work the first shift and start training any officers for the facility in order to fine-tune the standard operating procedures for the specific location.

Since the facility manager, guards and, of course, our dispatch center must maintain a constant open line of communication, we will provide communications in the way of Nextel's or Two-Way Radios, whichever is the best for each facility and the manager.

We have also enclosed a picture of a guard in our uniform and our dispatch center so you may get a better idea of our firm’s image.

Elite strives to maintain a safe work environment and constantly increases its attention to the need for site, client, and officer safety. Our staff will assess all possible safety risks and make any suggestions and train the officers in accordance with any safety considerations which exist at individual sites. Currently

It is the firm belief of Elite Universal Security we should be awarded this contract based on our qualifications and extensive experience. However, if we are not selected, we do have several suggestions and factors, which we feel would be beneficial to consider prior to selecting a security firm.

One factor you may want to look at would be the turnover rate of officers. This would include an audit of any benefits offered to the officers as incentives to stay with the firm. Elite Universal Security offers a nice benefit package in the way of Vacation Pay, Medical, Dental, and Vision and Life Insurance.

We promote within the company to insure continuity of service. We evaluate employees and award pay increases bi-annually. Elite knows from experience this industry has an extremely high turnover rate.

With the new requirements to become an armed security officer, we must maintain a higher standard and thus make it more appealing to the officers.

Because of this commitment to offering better service for clients and better employment satisfaction for our employees, we offer the programs listed above and a higher wage than regular security officers – please see cost breakdown for exact amounts.

Agenda Item #11e
____________________________________________________________________________ Date: July 28, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Willows Municipal Code – Review & Oversight Ad Hoc Committee Recommendation:

Staff recommend establishing a two-member Review and Oversight Ad Hoc Committee of the City Council to conduct a comprehensive review of the completed Willows Municipal Code Update Project before it is transmitted to the City Attorney for final legal review. Staff further recommend appointing Councilmember Pride and the newly appointed Councilmember to fill the vacancy created by former Councilmember Busby's resignation to serve on the committee.

Rationale for Recommendation:

Councilmember Pride has expressed a strong interest in participating more directly in the review of the final phase of the Willows Municipal Code Update Project before it is presented to the full City Council for consideration and adoption. Establishing an ad hoc committee would provide an efficient forum for that review and oversight.

Background:

On June 13, 2023, the Willows City Council approved an agreement with Prentice Long, PC and authorized the City Manager to execute the agreement for the comprehensive update of the Willows Municipal Code (WMC). Over the past three years, Prentice Long, in collaboration with City staff, has worked diligently to revise and modernize Titles 1 through 19 of the WMC. As the project enters its final phase, it would benefit from additional review and oversight by an ad hoc committee of the City Council working collaboratively with City staff. This additional review will help ensure the proposed revisions are thorough, consistent, and reflective of the Council's policy direction before the final code update is presented to the City Council for final consideration and adoption.

Discussion & Analysis:

At its July 14, 2026, meeting, the City Council approved a new agreement with Prentice Long, PC to complete the comprehensive update of the Willows Municipal Code. The agreement expires on December 31, 2026.

To complete the project within the contract term, the Review and Oversight Ad Hoc Committee will need to meet on a regular basis to review the remaining code chapters, provide policy direction, and allow Prentice Long sufficient time to incorporate any revisions before the contract expires.

Accordingly, in addition to appointing two Councilmembers to the committee, staff recommend adopting a bi-weekly meeting schedule substantially as follows, exact dates to be determined by the Committee:
• Meeting #1: Week of August 24 – Review Chapters 1, 2, and 3 • Meeting #2: Week of September 7 – Review Chapters 5 and 6 • Meeting #3: Week of September 14 – Review Chapters 8 and 9 • Meeting #4: Week of September 28 – Review Chapters 10 and 12 • Meeting #5: Week of October 12 – Review Chapters 13 and 15 • Meeting #6: Week of October 26 – Review Chapters 16, 17, and 19 • Meeting #7: Week of November 9 – Review Chapter 18
Please note that there are no Chapters 4, 7, 11, or 14. Those chapter numbers have been intentionally reserved for potential future additions to the Municipal Code.

Completing the committee's review by early November will provide Prentice Long adequate time to prepare any final revisions before the December 31, 2026, expiration of the agreement. Once those revisions have been completed, the updated Municipal Code will be transmitted to the City Attorney for final legal review before being presented to the City Council for final consideration and adoption in early 2027.

Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

The proposed committee is consistent with Priority #2: Economic Development, Goal 2: Complete and Refine the Municipal Code Update to Support Business Opportunities.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact by establishing the Committee to complete a comprehensive review of the Willows Municipal Code.
