Agenda Item #6c
_____________________________________________________________________ Date: August 25, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Oppose Assembly Bill 1383 (PEPRA)
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution XX-2026 (Attachment 1) opposing Assembly Bill 1383 (AB 1383), relating to public employees’ retirement benefits and proposed changes to the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA), and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to transmit the City’s opposition to the Governor, the City’s state legislative representatives, the bill’s author, appropriate legislative committees, the League of California Cities, and other interested parties.
Rationale for Recommendation:
Assembly Bill 1383 proposes significant changes to pension reforms established under PEPRA, including changes to pensionable compensation limits and retirement benefit formulas for public safety employees resulting in increased pension obligations for cities and other public agencies.
Background:
Assembly Bill 1383 was introduced on February 21, 2025, by Assemblymember Tina McKinnor and proposes changes to the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013. PEPRA established requirements and restrictions applicable to public employers offering defined benefit pension plans, including limitations on pensionable compensation and retirement benefit formulas for new members.
California public retirement systems, including the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), provide defined retirement benefits funded through a combination of employee contributions, employer contributions, and investment earnings. PEPRA was enacted in 2013 as part of statewide efforts to address the long-term sustainability and cost of public employee pensions.
Under existing PEPRA provisions, retirement systems offering defined benefit plans for safety members generally use one of three retirement formulas: 2 percent at age 57, 2.5 percent at age 57, or 2.7 percent at age 57.
AB 1383 would establish new retirement formulas for certain safety employees first hired on or after January 1, 2027, including 2.5 percent at age 55, 2.7 percent at age 55, and 3 percent at age 55. The bill would also make changes affecting existing PEPRA safety members for service performed on or after January 1, 2027, and would authorize public employers and recognized employee organizations to negotiate prospective increases to safety retirement formulas through the collective bargaining process.
The current July 1, 2026, version of AB 1383 also modifies PEPRA pensionable compensation provisions. For service performed on and after January 1, 2027, the bill establishes revised pensionable compensation limits and makes related conforming changes.
On August 3, 2026, AB 1383 was referred to the Senate Appropriations Committee’s suspense file. The official legislative status continues to identify the Senate Appropriations Committee as the bill’s committee location.
Discussion & Analysis:
The potential impact of AB 1383 is particularly relevant to the City of Willows because the City is in the process of bringing municipal police services back in-house and reestablishing the Willows Police Department. As the City hires sworn police personnel, the number of City employees participating in CalPERS public safety retirement plans will increase. Accordingly, increases to PEPRA safety retirement formulas could have a significant long-term financial impact on the City versus its current staffing structure.
The City must balance the need to offer competitive compensation and retirement benefits to recruit and retain qualified police officers with its responsibility to maintain long-term fiscal sustainability.
Reestablishing an in-house Police Department already represents a significant ongoing financial commitment. Legislative changes that increase public safety pension benefits or employer retirement costs could add to those obligations and reduce the City's flexibility to fund other essential services and priorities.
In addition to the City's future police-related pension obligations, AB 1383 could have a substantial long-term impact on the City's existing CalPERS obligations for Fire personnel, as well as the executive management team. For example, the cumulative impact of enhanced public safety retirement benefits could increase the City's Fire CalPERS costs by approximately $1.5 million over time, based on current estimates. Actual costs would depend on implementation of the legislation, CalPERS actuarial assumptions and employer contribution rates, employee demographics, compensation, years of service, and other factors.
These considerations are particularly important for a small city such as Willows, where increases in public safety pension costs must be absorbed within a comparatively limited General Fund revenue base. Increased pension obligations could compete with funding for police and fire operations, streets and infrastructure, parks, employee compensation, capital improvements, and other essential municipal services.
Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:
The recommended action is consistent with Council Priority #1: Financial Stability.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no direct fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund associated with adopting Resolution XX-2026 opposing AB 1383.
If AB 1383 is enacted, the City estimates that long-term Fire CalPERS costs could increase by approximately $1.5 million over an extended period of time. With the re-establishment of the City’s police department, AB 1383 could also result in additional future CalPERS law enforcement retirement costs that cannot yet be determined.

Resolution XX-2026
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WILLOWS OPPOSING ASSEMBLY BILL 1383 (McKINNOR), RELATING TO PUBLIC EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT BENEFITS AND CHANGES TO THE PUBLIC EMPLOYEES’ PENSION REFORM ACT OF 2013
WHEREAS, the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (“PEPRA”) established statewide pension reforms applicable to state and local public retirement systems, including limitations on pensionable compensation and retirement benefit formulas for new public employees; and WHEREAS, PEPRA was enacted to promote the long-term sustainability of California’s public retirement systems, establish greater predictability in pension costs, and assist public agencies in managing long-term retirement obligations while continuing to provide competitive retirement benefits to public employees; and
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 1383 (“AB1383”), authored by Assemblymember Tina McKinnor, proposes significant changes to PEPRA and public employee retirement benefits; and WHEREAS, under existing PEPRA law, public retirement systems offering defined benefit plans for safety members generally utilize safety retirement formulas of 2 percent at age 57, 2.5 percent at age 57, or 2.7 percent at age 57; and
WHEREAS, AB1383 would establish new safety retirement formulas for certain employees first hired on or after January 1, 2027, including formulas of 2.5 percent at age 55, 2.7 percent at age 55, and 3 percent at age 55; and
WHEREAS, AB1383 would also require changes to retirement formulas for certain PEPRA safety members for service performed on and after January 1, 2027, effectively providing the applicable benefit factor at age 55 rather than age 57; and
WHEREAS, AB1383 would modify PEPRA’s pensionable compensation limitations for certain new members and would authorize public employers and recognized employee organizations to negotiate prospective increases to retirement benefit formulas for safety members, subject to applicable collective bargaining requirements; and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes the importance of recruiting and retaining qualified police officers, firefighters, and other public safety professionals and values the essential services these employees provide to California communities; and
WHEREAS, the City Council further recognizes that competitive compensation and retirement benefits are important components of recruiting and retaining a highly qualified public workforce; and WHEREAS, changes to retirement benefit formulas and pensionable compensation limits can increase employer contribution requirements and create additional long-term pension obligations for cities and other local public agencies; and
WHEREAS, increases in pension obligations can place additional pressure on municipal budgets that must also support police protection, fire and emergency response, streets and infrastructure, parks and recreation, water and wastewater services, and other essential community services; and WHEREAS, municipalities throughout California, particularly small and rural communities such as the City of Willows, operate with limited financial resources and must carefully balance employee compensation, retirement obligations, infrastructure needs, public safety services, and other community priorities; and
WHEREAS, maintaining the fiscal sustainability achieved through PEPRA is important to protecting the ability of local governments to provide essential public services while meeting their obligations to current employees and retirees; and
WHEREAS, the City Council believes that statewide changes to public employee pension benefits should be carefully evaluated for their long-term actuarial and fiscal impacts on local agencies before being enacted; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is concerned that AB1383 would substantially modify reforms established under PEPRA and could increase long-term pension costs and liabilities for local public agencies; and
WHEREAS, the City Council believes local governments should retain the ability to develop competitive employee compensation packages while maintaining responsible fiscal planning, preserving local control, and protecting the long-term financial stability of their communities; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that preserving sustainable pension reforms is necessary to protect the City’s ability to maintain staffing levels, fund essential services, invest in infrastructure, and responsibly manage taxpayer resources.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WILLOWS RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. RECITALS.
The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 2. OPPOSITION TO ASSEMBLY BILL 1383.
The City Council of the City of Willows hereby formally opposes Assembly Bill 1383 (McKinnor) in its current form and urges the California Legislature not to enact legislation that substantially rolls back the pension reforms established by the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 in a manner that increases long-term pension costs and liabilities for local public agencies.
SECTION 3. PRESERVATION OF LOCAL FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY.
The City Council supports maintaining a public employee retirement system that provides competitive and reliable retirement benefits while protecting the long-term fiscal sustainability of local governments and their ability to provide essential public services.
The City Council further supports preserving the ability of local agencies to responsibly balance employee compensation, recruitment and retention needs, pension obligations, infrastructure investment, and essential community services within available financial resources.
SECTION 4. LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY.
The City Council urges the California State Legislature to reject AB1383 in its current form and to carefully evaluate the long-term actuarial and fiscal impacts of any proposed changes to PEPRA before adopting changes that could increase pension obligations for local public agencies.
The City Council further urges the Legislature to work collaboratively with cities, public agencies, employee organizations, retirement systems, and other stakeholders to address public-sector recruitment and retention challenges in a manner that maintains the long-term financial sustainability of California’s public retirement systems and local governments.
SECTION 5. DIRECTION TO STAFF.
The City Manager, or designee, is authorized and directed to transmit this Resolution to the Governor of the State of California, the City’s representatives in the California State Legislature, the author of AB1383, appropriate legislative committees, the League of California Cities, and other agencies or organizations as appropriate, and to take any administrative actions necessary to communicate and support the City Council’s opposition to AB1383.
SECTION 6. SEVERABILITY
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Resolution is held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Resolution. The City Council declares that it would have adopted this Resolution and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof regardless of the fact that any one or more portions may be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

From: Laurie Loaiza, City Engineer
Joe Bettencourt, Community Development & Services Director Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Oak Street and Madrone Manor Street Pavement Projects Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution XX-2026 (Attachment 1) authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Franklin Construction, Inc. in the amount of $409,409, with a 10% construction contingency of $40,941, and to execute an agreement for construction management and inspection services, provided the total project cost does not exceed the Engineer’s Estimate of $600,000, for the FY 2025-2026 street pavement and construction projects on Oak Street from Marshall to Murdock Streets and Madrone Manor.
Rationale for Recommendation:
The Oak Street and Madrone Manor street segments were selected at the May 13, 2025, City Council meeting as the FY 2025-2026 street pavement projects.
Background:
In an effort to improve city street pavement, the Council approved the following two street pavement projects for FY 2025-26: 1) Oak Street, from Marshall to Murdock; and 2) Madrone Manor. The City’s annual SB1 funding allocation will fund the design of these projects.
The existing pavement in both locations is in poor condition and in need of reconstruction, with extensive alligator cracking, missing asphalt, potholes and general pavement failure. Oak Street rehabilitation will be an important link, as it provides direct access to Sycamore Park, which will be upgraded in 2027 using the Clean California Grant from Caltrans.
The street pavement projects include segments of Oak Street and Madrone Manor. The bid documents were completed in June 2026 and the notice to contractors to bid on the project were published in July. Bids were due on July 29, 2026.
Discussion & Analysis:
Six (6) bids were received ranging in cost from $662,277 to $409,409. The lowest responsible bid was submitted by Franklin Construction, Inc. of Chico, CA. Staff completed a review of Franklin Construction, Inc.’s bid and found that it was responsive. In addition, staff also determined that:
the contractor’s license is active and valid;
the prime contractor and listed subcontractors were all appropriately registered with the Department of Industrial Relations; and
the bid contained the required information per the Notice to Bidders.
Environmentally, the project is determined to be Categorically Exempt in accordance with Section 15301(c) in that this project involves rehabilitation of existing streets and sidewalks. Staff found that Franklin Construction, Inc.’s bid satisfies the bidding requirements for the project and recommends an award of the project. The recommended contract budget of $450,350 includes a 10% contingency of $40,941.
Construction management and inspection services will be separately solicited. The Engineer’s Estimate for the overall project is approximately $600,000. Staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with the selected construction management and inspection firm, provided the total project cost does not exceed the $600,000 Engineer’s Estimate. Based on the construction bid received, staff anticipates the final overall project cost will be less than the Engineer’s Estimate.
Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:
The recommended action is consistent with Council Priority #2: Economic Development, Goal 5:
Improve City Appearance to Attract Businesses and Visitors; Priority #3: Public Safety, Goal 3: Improve Road and Pedestrian Safety; and Priority #4: Infrastructure Improvement, Goal 1: Invest in Deferred Maintenance and Goal 2: Implement the Capital Improvement Program.
Fiscal Impact:
The project will be funded by the City’s SB1 and Gas Tax Fund allocations. Total project costs, including construction, contingency, and construction management and inspection services, will not exceed the Engineer’s Estimate of $600,000 and are anticipated to be less.

From: Joe Bettencourt, Community Development & Services Director Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Rural Economic Development Strategy and Business Attraction Project Recommendation:
Authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Capital Rivers, Inc., dba Capital Rivers Connect, in an amount not to exceed $60,000, funded by the 2021 USDA Rural Business Development Grant, for the Rural Economic Development Strategy and Business Attraction Project, and authorize the expenditure of the remaining grant funds.
Rationale for Recommendation:
City Council approval is required for the proposed $60,000 professional services agreement in accordance with the City's purchasing requirements.
Background:
In 2020 and 2021, the former Interim City Manager applied for and received two U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Business Development Grants (RBDG) to support economic development technical assistance, planning, market and feasibility analysis, marketing and outreach, and community engagement. At the time, the Interim City Manager had also hired a consultant, Jody Samons, to both prepare and implement the grants. Ms. Samons was instrumental in executing and fulfilling most of the terms of the 2020 RDB Grant. However, due to personal circumstances, Ms. Samons withdrew from participation and involvement in the 2021 RBD Grant.
Over time, staff was able to expend and close out the 2020 RBD Grant. Now, staff is trying to completely expend and close out the 2021 RBD Grant before the final expiration date on December 31, 2026.
To that end, on August 7, 2026, the City issued a Request for Proposals for a Rural Economic Development Strategy and Business Attraction Project, with proposals due August 18, 2026. The City directly solicited proposals from four regional firms with experience in economic development and business attraction. Capital Rivers Connect was the only firm to submit a proposal by the deadline (Attachment 1).
The project is intended to strengthen the City's ability to attract private investment, support local businesses, identify realistic development opportunities, and establish a practical economic development strategy.
The RFP included six primary tasks: project initiation and existing conditions review; market and opportunity assessment; development readiness and feasibility review; stakeholder education and engagement; marketing and business attraction strategy; and preparation of a final prioritized action plan.
Discussion & Analysis:
Capital Rivers Connect submitted a proposal that closely addresses the City's requested scope. The proposed work includes market and retail analysis, identification of target business sectors, development-readiness evaluations, stakeholder education, business recruitment messaging and materials, targeted outreach strategies, and a prioritized implementation plan.
The firm brings experience in economic development, commercial real estate, site selection, and business attraction and identified comparable work with several California communities, including Northern California. The project will be led by Matthew Tate with support from Capital Rivers' analytics, brokerage, and development team.
Capital Rivers Connect proposes a fixed, all-inclusive, not-to-exceed fee of $60,000, including professional services, data-platform access, travel, and the stakeholder workshop. The firm has committed to completing the project by December 31, 2026. Staff has also verified that Capital Rivers, Inc.'s federal SAM.gov registration is active (which is a requirement of the grant funded project).
Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:
The project directly advances and is consistent with the Council’s Priority #2: Economic Development.
Fiscal Impact:
Capital Rivers Connect has proposed a fixed, not-to-exceed fee of $60,000, allocated as follows:
Project Initiation and Existing Conditions Review $5,000 Market and Opportunity Assessment $16,000
Development Readiness and Feasibility Review $12,000
Education and Stakeholder Engagement $7,500
Marketing and Business Attraction Strategy $11,000
Final Action Plan and Presentation $8,500

Re: Proposal - Rural Economic Development Consulting Services Dear Mr. Bettencourt:
Thank you for the opportunity to respond. Willows has a real opportunity in front of it: turning the interest that Interstate 5, a stable agricultural base, and its role as the Glenn County seat generate into private investment that residents can see and use. That is what Capital Rivers Connect does. We are the economic development practice of Capital Rivers Commercial, an active broker, developer, and manager of commercial real estate with more than $200 million in development activity across California, and we bring the developer’s and retailer’s point of view to the questions that decide whether a project moves forward in a rural market.
This engagement would be led by a named economic development lead, Matthew Tate, Executive Vice President, backed by principal Greg Aguirre and the full analytics, brokerage, and development bench of Capital Rivers Commercial. Willows gets a dedicated lead and, behind that lead, an entire firm, so the work never depends on any one person. We have delivered comparable, data-grounded work for small and rural California communities including Los Banos, Greenfield, Orange Cove, Manteca, and Pacifica, and we license and operate a full platform stack (Placer.ai, Buxton SCOUT, Sites USA, CoStar, and Esri) that converts location data into recruitment action rather than another study that sits on a shelf.
We propose a fixed, not-to-exceed fee of $60,000, all-inclusive that covers all six tasks, the education workshop for City leadership and staff (a service we normally price separately at $7,500), full data-platform access, and travel to Willows with no markup. We commit to completing the work by December 31, 2026.
Because our affiliated brokerage is active in the region, we disclose that relationship openly in Section 7 and propose a conflict-management plan so the City receives objective advice it can rely on.
This proposal is a firm offer, valid for at least 90 days from the submission date. I am authorized to bind the firm, and Matthew Tate will serve as your primary contact for any questions during evaluation.
Primary contact: Matthew Tate, Executive Vice President · [email protected] · 972.632.9311 Respectfully submitted,
Greg Aguirre

1. Firm and Team Qualifications
The firm
Capital Rivers Connect is the economic development advisory practice of Capital Rivers Commercial (legal entity Capitol Rivers, Inc., a California corporation founded in 2015). We are headquartered at 1821 Q Street in Sacramento, with offices in Chico and Redding, a Northern California footprint that puts Willows squarely within the region we work every day.
Capital Rivers Commercial is vertically integrated across four divisions: Brokerage, Development, Property Management, and Economic Development Advisory. That structure is the point. When we advise the City, the analysis is informed by people who have personally negotiated leases, entitled projects, managed construction, and operated assets in the same markets. The firm has acted as principal sponsor, co-investor, and fee developer on well over $200 million in development and redevelopment activity, and carries zero development-related claims or litigation, no defaults, and 100% on-time lender compliance across its full project history. CEO Greg Aguirre has personally developed CVS, JPMorgan Chase, and Sleep Train locations, so when we tell the City whether a deal will pencil, we answer with the rigor a retailer’s or developer’s own real estate team would apply.
Capital Rivers Connect works where economic development decisions tend to break down (unresolved market assumptions, unverified demand, and incomplete feasibility) and moves them forward by answering the questions retailers and developers actually ask before they commit. We are a member of Team California (Greg Aguirre serves on the Board), and our economic development lead is a featured speaker at Team California and the League of California Cities.
The proposed team
The City receives a named lead supported by a full firm. We will not substitute the key personnel below, Matthew Tate (Project Lead) or Greg Aguirre (Principal), without the City’s prior approval. Resumes are provided at Appendix A.

2. Relevant Experience and References
Our practice is concentrated in exactly the kind of work Willows is procuring: data-grounded market and feasibility analysis, business attraction strategy, and hands-on advisory support for small and rural California communities. Representative engagements include:
• City of Los Banos, CA. Small Central Valley agricultural city; tenant and trade-area evaluation supporting retail attraction (including a 7 Brew site evaluation) and economic development advisory support. • City of Greenfield, CA. Small Salinas Valley city; economic development engagement including market positioning, an investment-marketing profile, and a facilitated City engagement workshop. • City of Orange Cove, CA.

3. Approach and Work Plan
Our program and how we work
We deliver this engagement through the Capital Rivers Connect Full-Service program, the same productized program we run for our city and county clients, adapted to the City’s six tasks and the approved grant purpose. The program runs on three principles. A monthly cadence: priorities are revisited and refined as outreach, feedback, and market signals come in. Purposeful action: progress is measured by movement through a clear decision flow toward greater clarity, improved positioning, and defensible decisions. And targeted, data-informed strategy rather than broad, untargeted outreach, concentrating effort on the Capital Rivers Connect · Proposal for Rural Economic Development · City of Willows Confidential · capitalrivers.com · Page 5
questions that actually move private-sector decisions. In practice, this means targeted strategy, disciplined judgment, and sustained progress.
Understanding of the City’s needs
Willows has real, tangible advantages: an Interstate 5 location with high daily traffic counts at the SR-162 junction, the civic anchor of being the Glenn County seat, a productive agricultural economy, and regional visitor draws such as the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge and a walkable historic downtown. The City’s challenge is not a lack of assets; it is converting those assets into private investment decisions. Developers, retailers, and investors evaluate rural sites through a specific lens: rooftops and daytime population, drivetime trade areas, sales leakage, site access and visibility, utility capacity, entitlement time and cost, and whether the project economics pencil. Our program is built to answer those questions on Willows’ behalf, target the sectors most likely to say yes, and hand the City a prioritized, fundable action plan it can implement within USDA RBDG resources. Everything below stays within the approved grant purpose.
Data Concierge: the platforms behind the work
Every task draws on our Data Concierge: on-demand access to the platforms the private sector uses, translated into decision-ready insight. These include Placer.ai (foot traffic and trade-area analysis), Buxton SCOUT (segmentation, retailer benchmarking, void analysis), Sites USA (retail leakage by spending category), CoStar / Crexi / Reonomy (inventory, comparables, ownership), Centercheck (center and tenant intelligence), and Esri (GIS and mapping). Platform access is included in our fee.
Work plan by task
Each RFP task is delivered through specific Full-Service program components and produces named Capital Rivers Connect work products.
Task 1: Project Initiation and Existing Conditions Review Program components: Onboarding · Data Concierge set-up
We open the engagement, establish the monthly cadence and decision flow, and stand up Data Concierge access for the project. We meet with City staff to confirm goals, priority business districts, and constraints; review grant materials, prior plans and studies, and available site information; and reconcile our work plan to the approved RBDG activities so scope and grant purpose stay aligned throughout.
Deliverables: Project work plan and schedule.
Task 2: Market and Opportunity Assessment
Program components: Market Overview · Retail Fit Analysis · Data Concierge We build a Market Overview of the City and trade area, covering demographics and psychographics, drivetime trade areas, foot-traffic and visitor patterns, and business trends, then run a Retail Fit Analysis to develop and prioritize a target list of realistic business types and prospects. A Retail Void Report and Retail Leakage Report quantify unmet demand and the sales leaving the trade area by category, and we benchmark Willows against comparable rural I-5 and county-seat markets. The result is a defensible set of target sectors (for example, highway-oriented retail and hospitality, convenience and food service, ag-adjacent and logistics uses, and downtown infill).
Deliverables: Market Overview report; Retail Fit Analysis and prioritized target list; Retail Void Report; Retail Leakage Report.
Task 3: Development Readiness and Feasibility Review
Program components: SMART Analysis · Developer Perspective We run SMART Analysis decision models (Site Suitability, Market, Accessibility & Drive-Time, Retail Gap, and Trade-Area Field Study) on priority sites, corridors, and opportunity areas, and apply the Developer Capital Rivers Connect · Proposal for Rural Economic Development · City of Willows Confidential · capitalrivers.com · Page 6
Perspective: how retail developers and investors actually evaluate a project, including access, visibility, utilities, entitlement pathways, fees and timelines, site constraints, project economics, and risk. From this we identify the specific, practical actions the City can take to improve readiness and reduce the uncertainty that stalls private investment.
Deliverables: SMART Analysis models for priority sites; development readiness findings and priority action matrix.
Task 4: Education and Stakeholder Engagement
Program components: CRC Connect Masterclass
We deliver the CRC Connect Masterclass, our facilitated education workshop that aligns City leadership, staff, and selected stakeholders on how site-selection and investment decisions are actually made. It builds shared understanding before action and aligns local priorities with realistic market opportunities. In-person preferred, virtual available; included in our fee.
Deliverables: Facilitated Masterclass workshop; Masterclass Workbook; Retail Void Report and Retail Leakage Report.
Task 5: Marketing and Business Attraction Strategy
Program components: Market Overview positioning · Shared Outreach Execution We translate the Market Overview into clear market positioning and messaging and produce editable content suitable for the City website, print materials, trade events, presentations, and direct outreach. Through Shared Outreach Execution we refine materials (including website positioning and email templates), prepare a targeted outreach strategy with prioritized prospect and partner categories, and, at the City’s option, help lead or jointly execute outreach with decision-makers. Website design or construction is not included unless separately authorized in writing.
Deliverables: Editable economic development messaging and recruitment materials; targeted outreach strategy with prioritized prospect/partner categories.
Task 6: Final Action Plan and Presentation
Program components: Leadership & Public-Facing Support
We consolidate the work into a prioritized implementation plan identifying near-term, mid-term, and longerterm actions, responsible parties, and recommended measures of progress, scaled to what the City can implement within available resources, and present findings and recommendations to City leadership and, if requested, the City Council.
Deliverables: Final report and editable source files; priority action matrix; final presentation to City leadership/Council.
4. Project Schedule
We are prepared to complete all work by December 31, 2026. The schedule below assumes a Notice to Proceed in early September 2026 and is compressed but realistic given our platform readiness and regional familiarity; we will finalize dates with staff at kickoff.

5. Cost Proposal
We propose a firm, fixed, not-to-exceed fee of $60,000, all-inclusive, for the complete scope of services.
Consistent with our standard 2026 service model, Capital Rivers Connect prices on a fixed-fee, deliverablesbased basis, not hourly, which gives the City complete cost certainty with no hourly billing to monitor and no variable charges to reconcile. The fee is all-inclusive of our professional services and overhead, licensed dataplatform access (Placer.ai, Buxton SCOUT, Sites USA, CoStar, Esri, and more), and travel to Willows with no markup; there are no separate platform fees or reimbursable expenses. Should the City require an estimated level-of-effort summary or an hourly rate schedule for grant-administration or cost-reasonableness purposes, we will gladly provide one on request.
Fixed not-to-exceed fee by task
Task Fixed not-to-exceed fee
Task 1: Project Initiation & Existing Conditions Review $5,000 Task 2: Market & Opportunity Assessment $16,000
Task 3: Development Readiness & Feasibility Review $12,000 Task 4: Education & Stakeholder Engagement (Masterclass Workshop) $7,500 Task 5: Marketing & Business Attraction Strategy $11,000 Task 6: Final Action Plan & Presentation $8,500
Total (fixed, all-inclusive; no hourly charges, no separate platform or travel costs) $60,000
How this maps to our standard service model
This engagement is delivered under our Full-Service tier, with Capital Rivers Connect acting as an extension of the City’s economic development team and the stakeholder education component (Task 4) provided through our CRC Connect Masterclass. Our complete 2026 service offerings, including the standard tier structure, are provided at Appendix B.
Notes. The fee is firm and valid for at least 90 days from the submission date. Capital Rivers Connect will not exceed the total not-to-exceed amount without the City’s prior written authorization. Any services beyond the approved scope (for example, website design or construction) would be quoted separately and undertaken only with the City’s written approval. Pricing assumes California prevailing-wage / public-works requirements do not apply to these advisory services; see Section 8.
Capital Rivers Connect · Proposal for Rural Economic Development · City of Willows Confidential · capitalrivers.com · Page 8
6. Conflicts and Related Interests
In the interest of full transparency, we disclose the following. Capital Rivers Connect is the economic development practice of Capital Rivers Commercial, whose affiliated brokerage and development divisions are active in the California market. As of the submission date, we conducted a conflict check and identified no actual brokerage, development, ownership, or transactional interest of Capital Rivers or its affiliates involving property, businesses, or pending transactions in Willows or Glenn County. Because our affiliated divisions are active across California, such an interest could arise during the term of the engagement; should that occur, we would manage it under the plan below.
We do not view this as a barrier to objective service, and we commit to the following conflict-management plan:
• Prompt, written disclosure to the City of any actual or potential conflict as it arises during the engagement, identifying the property, party, and nature of the interest. • An internal firewall separating the economic development advisory team (Matthew Tate and assigned analysts) from any affiliated brokerage or development activity in Willows or Glenn County, so recommendations are not directed toward affiliated interests. • Recusal of the advisory team from any specific analysis or recommendation that would directly and predictably benefit an affiliated Capital Rivers interest, or adoption of any additional safeguard the City reasonably requires.
• City-owned, objective work product: our target sectors, site findings, and recommendations are made on the merits and in the City’s interest, and become the City’s property.
We will execute a conflict-management plan acceptable to the City and comply with all applicable federal conflict-of-interest requirements, including those under 2 CFR Part 200.
7. Federal Eligibility
Capitol Rivers, Inc. (dba Capital Rivers Connect) certifies that neither the firm nor its proposed principals are suspended, debarred, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or otherwise excluded from participation in federal contracting or federally assisted programs by any federal department or agency. We will comply with applicable federal requirements incorporated into the resulting agreement, including 2 CFR Part 200 and applicable USDA award terms, and with debarment and suspension, nondiscrimination, records-retention, and audit-access requirements.
Federal registration details: SAM.gov Unique Entity ID (UEI): Q1WXPKE231D7 (previously assigned).
SAM.gov registration: submitted August 17, 2026 and currently in process. The firm will provide confirmation of active SAM.gov registration prior to award. A signed federal certification is provided at Appendix C.
8. Requested Contract Exceptions
We are prepared to execute the City’s professional services agreement and to carry insurance acceptable to the City. Consistent with the RFP’s invitation to identify exceptions, we raise the following limited clarifications. We consider them addressable and not a barrier to award. • Prevailing wage / public works. Economic development advisory and analytical services are not construction and are generally outside the California public-works / prevailing-wage definition (Labor Code §1720). We request confirmation that prevailing-wage, DIR registration, and certified-payroll Capital Rivers Connect · Proposal for Rural Economic Development · City of Willows Confidential · capitalrivers.com · Page 9
provisions do not apply to these services; if the City intends them to apply, we would need to revisit pricing.
• Ownership of pre-existing and proprietary methods and licensed data. The City will own all deliverables prepared for it. We request confirmation that City ownership does not extend to Capital Rivers Connect’s pre-existing, proprietary methodologies (including our SMART Analysis models) or to licensed third-party data (Placer.ai, CoStar, Buxton, and similar), which we are licensed to use but not permitted to transfer. The City receives a license to use these as part of the services. • Insurance. We carry commercial general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate), professional liability / errors & omissions ($2,000,000 per claim / aggregate), and automobile and workers’ compensation coverage, and will provide the additional-insured, primary-andnoncontributory, and waiver-of-subrogation endorsements the City requires.
9. Proposal Certification
By submitting this proposal, Capitol Rivers, Inc. (dba Capital Rivers Connect) certifies that: the information provided is accurate; this proposal was prepared independently and without collusion; the firm has disclosed actual or potential conflicts of interest (Section 6); the proposed price is valid for at least 90 days from the submission date; and the firm will comply with applicable local, state, federal, and grant requirements if selected.

To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Police Chief – Job Classification & Salary Schedule Recommendation:
Approve the Police Chief job classification and salary schedule as part of the reestablishment of the Willows Police Department.
Rationale for Recommendation:
Establishing the Police Chief job classification and salary schedule is a necessary step in re-establishing the Willows Police Department. Approval of the classification, job description, and salary schedule establishes the position’s responsibilities, qualifications, and compensation structure.
Background:
In 2017, the City discontinued operation of the Willows Police Department and entered into an agreement with the County of Glenn for contracted law enforcement services. Effective June 30, 2026, the agreement expired and no new agreement has replaced it.
The City Council seeks to reestablish the Willows Police Department and develop the organizational structure needed to provide municipal law enforcement and public safety services. This process includes establishing personnel classifications, policies and procedures, POST requirements, equipment and facility requirements, and other operational components. A foundational step in this process, is also adopting a Police Chief job classification and salary schedule.
Discussion & Analysis:
The Police Chief will serve as the executive head of the Police Department under the general direction of the City Manager and will be responsible for the overall administration and operation of the department.
The proposed job classification (Attachment 1) establishes the duties, authority, qualifications, and responsibilities of the position and provides the leadership structure necessary for the continued development of the Willows Police Department. The proposed nine-step annual salary range is $111,638 to $136,020 (Attachment 2).
Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:
The proposed action is consistent with Council Priority #3: Public Safety, Goal #1: Invest in the Startup of the Willows Police Department (WPD).
Fiscal Impact:
There is no immediate cost associated with approving the Police Chief job classification and salary schedule.

Subject: Community Service Officer – Job Classification & Salary Schedule Recommendation:
Approve the Community Service Officer job classification and salary schedule as part of the reestablishment of the Willows Police Department.
Rationale for Recommendation:
Establishing the Community Service Officer job classification and salary schedule is a necessary step in re-establishing the Willows Police Department. Approval of the classification, job description, and salary schedule establishes the position’s responsibilities, qualifications, and compensation structure.
Background:
In 2017, the City discontinued operation of the Willows Police Department and entered into an agreement with the County of Glenn for contracted law enforcement services. Effective June 30, 2026, the agreement expired and no new agreement has replaced it.
The City Council seeks to reestablish the Willows Police Department and develop the organizational structure needed to provide municipal law enforcement and public safety services. This process includes establishing personnel classifications, policies and procedures, POST requirements, equipment and facility requirements, and other operational components. A foundational step in this process is also adopting Police Department job classifications and salary schedules.
Discussion & Analysis:
The Community Service Officer is an entry- to journey-level, non-sworn job classification (Attachment 1) responsible for specialized law enforcement support services. Duties include parking and abandoned vehicle enforcement, animal control, evidence and property processing, non-injury collision and minor incident reports, fingerprinting, traffic control, crime prevention programs, and other non-sworn public safety functions.
The proposed classification requires a high school diploma or equivalent and one year of public or customer service experience. The proposed nine-step annual salary range is $48,959 to $59,652 (Attachment 2).
Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:
The proposed action is consistent with Council Priority #3: Public Safety, Goal #1: Invest in the Startup of the Willows Police Department (WPD).
Fiscal Impact:
There is no immediate cost associated with approving the Community Services Officer job classification and salary schedule.

_____________________________________________________________________ Date: August 25, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Joe Bettencourt, Community Development & Services Director Marti Brown City Manager
Subject: On-Call General Building and Civil Plan Check Services Recommendation:
Authorize the City Manager, or her designee, to execute and administer on-call general building and civil plan check service agreements with Paxton Inspection Services, Development Compliance Solutions (DEVCOM), BPR Consulting, BUREAU VERITAS, and Interwest, for an initial three-year term with up to two additional one-year extensions including assignment of work and City Manager authority to exercise optional extensions.
Rationale for Recommendation:
The five recommended firms received the highest evaluation scores and provided a balanced mix of local and regional access, specialized expertise, and larger firm capacity.
Background:
Staff desired to establish an on-call pool of qualified plan check consultants to provide flexibility in assigning projects based on expertise, availability, responsiveness, turnaround time, and cost. As a result, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued on June 5, 2026, for on-call general building and civil plan check services to support commercial and residential development projects on an as-needed basis. Proposals were due by 5:00 p.m. on July 6, 2026. The City received proposals from the following ten firms: 4LEAF, Inc., Paxton Inspection Services, Bureau Veritas, Development Compliance Solutions (DEVCOM), CSG Consultants, Inc., Interwest, Willdan, TRB + Associates, Inc., BPR Consulting, and PACE Engineering.
Proposals were evaluated based on qualifications, key personnel, responsiveness and availability, technical capabilities, proposed turnaround times, customer service, and experience providing similar municipal services. Following evaluation of the proposals, Paxton Inspection Services, Development Compliance Solutions (DEVCOM), BPR Consulting, Bureau Veritas, and Interwest were identified as the five highest-rated firms and are recommended for inclusion in the City’s on-call consultant pool.
Discussion & Analysis:
Based on the completed evaluation, staff recommend awarding contracts to the five highest-rated firms:
Paxton Inspection Services, Development Compliance Solutions (DEVCOM), BPR Consulting, Bureau Veritas, and Interwest.
The City will execute a separate on-call agreement with each firm. Work may be assigned based on project type, expertise, workload, cost, responsiveness, turnaround time, availability, prior performance, and the best interest of the city. Projects and workload may not necessarily be distributed evenly among the five firms.
Each agreement will include an initial three-year term with up to two optional one-year extensions.
The City Manager, or her designee, will administer the agreements and assign work as needed.
Consultant rates will be based on the accepted fee schedule attached to each individual agreement.
Attachment 1 provides an example of the contract format and terms that may be included.
Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:
The recommended action supports Council Priorities #1: Financial Stability and #2: Economic Development by improving the development review process and promoting timely, cost-effective service.
Fiscal Impact:
Total expenditures across the on-call plan review pool will be limited to funds appropriated and available in the City's adopted or amended annual budget for contracted plan review services. Award of an agreement does not reserve funds or guarantee work to any consultant. For applicant-funded plan reviews, applicable consultant costs are intended to be recovered through the City's cost-recovery process. Staff will monitor expenditures against the approved budget and available cost-recovery funds.

Contractor shall provide timely, accurate, and consistent reviews using qualified personnel. Contractor shall follow the service delivery timeframes, quality-control procedures, and communication commitments in its accepted proposal unless the City approves a different schedule. Contractor shall promptly notify the City of any issue that may affect cost, schedule, or completion.
5. Assignments and Budget Control.

Contractor shall perform only work authorized by the City and shall bill only for services actually performed at the rates in Attachment B. All work is subject to available budget authority. For applicant-funded reviews, the City may recover consultant costs through its applicable cost-recovery process. The City's cost-recovery arrangement with an applicant does not alter the City's obligation to pay Contractor for properly authorized services in accordance with this Contract.

ATTACHMENT B
COMPENSATION OR FEES TO BE PAID TO CONTRACTOR

Compensation under this Contract is subject to the budget limitation in Section VIII. The City's annual appropriation for contracted plan review services is shared among the City's on-call consultants and does not guarantee Contractor any minimum amount of work or compensation.

Subject: Willows Police Department & POST Recertification Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution XX-2026 re-establishing the Willows Police Department, authorizing participation in the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) program, and authorizing preparations for law enforcement services.
Rationale for Recommendation:
Per California State law and POST regulations, this resolution is a required first step in the reestablishment of a POST-approved California law enforcement agency.
Background:
Prior to 2017, the City of Willows maintained and operated its own municipal police department. In 2017, the City ceased operation of its police department and contracted with the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office to provide law enforcement and police services in the City limits for a total of nine years.
Effective June 30, 2026, the law enforcement agreement between the City of Willows and the County of Glenn expired. Concurrently, the City Council decided to pursue re-establishing the Willows Police Department. Consistent with POST administrative regulations, the Council is required to adopt a resolution citing re-establishment of the Willows Police Department and authorizing participation in POST.
Discussion & Analysis:
Resolution XX-2026 (Attachment 1) states the City’s intention to re-establish its police department and authorizes the City’s participation in POST. This action represents an important step toward establishing the administrative framework necessary for the City to establish a POST-certified municipal police department.
With the new police department, the City of Willows will have greater local control over law enforcement policies, staffing, service levels, and community priorities. Establishing the department in full compliance with State law and POST administrative regulations will provide a strong foundation for professional, accountable policing while building public trust and establishing a respected organizational reputation.
Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:
Adoption of the resolution is consistent with Council Priority #3: Public Safety, Goal #1: Invest in the Startup of the Willows Police Department (WPD).
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact by adopting this resolution.

Subject: Chapter 2.65 of the Willows Municipal Code
Recommendation:
Introduce, by title only, an Ordinance acknowledging the re-establishment of the Willows Police Department and amending Chapter 2.65 of the Willows Municipal Code, and waive the full reading of the text.
Rationale for Recommendation:
Provisions of the California Government Code, the California Penal Code and administrative rules of the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) require and provide the authority for certain steps to be taken by local legislative bodies in the furtherance of establishing, or re-establishing, a new police department. The proposed Chapter of the Willows Municipal Code would formally codify the re-establishment of the Willows Police Department.
Background:
Prior to 2017, the City of Willows maintained and operated its own municipal police department. In 2017, the City ceased operation of its police department and contracted with the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office to provide law enforcement and police services in the City limits for a total of nine years.
Effective June 30, 2026, the law enforcement agreement between the City of Willows and the County of Glenn expired. Concurrently, the City Council decided to pursue re-establishing the Willows Police Department. According to California State law and POST administrative regulations, the Council is required to adopt an ordinance to re-establish the Willows Police Department.
Discussion & Analysis:
The proposed ordinance (Attachment 1) would amend the current Chapter 2.65 of the Willows Municipal Code (Attachment 2) to formally codify the re-establishment of the Willows Police Department. This action represents an important step toward establishing the legal and administrative framework necessary for the City to resume operation of its own municipal police department.
With the new police department, the City of Willows will have greater local control over law enforcement policies, staffing, service levels, and community priorities. Establishing the department in full compliance with State law and POST administrative regulations will provide a strong foundation for professional, accountable policing while building public trust and establishing a respected organizational reputation.

THE REESTABLISHMENT OF THE CITY OF WILLOWS POLICE DEPARTMENT AND AMENDING CHAPTER 2.65 TO THE WILLOWS MUNICIPAL CODE WHEREAS, the City of Willows historically maintained and operated its own municipal police department to provide law enforcement and public safety services within the City; and WHEREAS, on May 16, 2017, the City Council approved an agreement with the County of Glenn for the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office to provide law enforcement services within the City, effective July 1, 2017, and the City discontinued operation of its municipal police department in connection with the commencement of those contracted services; and
WHEREAS, the agreement between the City of Willows and the County of Glenn for the provision of law enforcement services terminated effective June 30, 2026, and the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office has not provided contracted law enforcement services to the City pursuant to that agreement since that date; and
WHEREAS, following the termination of the agreement with the County of Glenn, the City Council has determined that reestablishing a municipal police department is necessary and appropriate to provide municipal law enforcement services and address the public safety needs of the City; and WHEREAS, the City Council on August 25, 2026, adopted Resolution XX-2026 to reestablish the Willows Police Department to provide law enforcement, crime prevention, emergency response, community policing, and related public safety services within the City of Willows; and WHEREAS, the reestablishment of the Willows Police Department will provide for a municipal law enforcement agency under the administrative authority of the City Manager and the command of a Police Chief appointed by the City Manager; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires that the Willows Police Department be organized and operated in accordance with applicable federal and state law and the standards established by the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (“POST”); and WHEREAS, the reestablishment and implementation of the Willows Police Department will require the recruitment and appointment of personnel, acquisition and assignment of equipment and facilities, establishment of policies and procedures, coordination with POST and other law enforcement and governmental agencies, and other administrative actions necessary to establish and maintain an operational municipal police department; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to authorize the City Manager to undertake those administrative actions reasonably necessary to establish, implement, and maintain the Willows Police Department, subject to the City Council’s budgetary and legislative authority and applicable law; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that reestablishing the Willows Police Department is in the best interests of the City and will promote the public health, safety, and welfare of the community.

Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Lexipol Subscription for Willows Police Department Recommendation:
Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Lexipol, LLC (via the City’s risk management JPA, NCCSIF) for a web-based police department policy and procedure management platform and associated consulting and implementation services, in an amount not to exceed $10,000.00 annually.
Rationale for Recommendation:
Police departments are required to maintain numerous internal policies, as well as comply with State, Federal and POST regulations, and Lexipol, LLC unites legally vetted, regularly updated policies with a proprietary, web-based system designed to support compliance, accountability and continuous policy training.
Background:
Prior to 2017, the City of Willows maintained and operated its own municipal police department. In 2017, the City discontinued operation of the Willows Police Department and entered into an agreement with the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office to provide law enforcement services within the City limits. The Sheriff’s Office provided those services for the following nine years.
At the time the Willows Police Department was discontinued, the City contracted with Lexipol, LLC for law enforcement policies and related services. The City currently also maintains a separate Lexipol subscription for the Willows Fire Department.
As the City Council moves forward with re-establishing the Willows Police Department as a law enforcement agency operating in compliance with California law and POST requirements, staff recommends re-establishing Lexipol services for the Police Department. Lexipol will provide the Department with a comprehensive and regularly updated policy framework designed to reflect changes in California law, regulations, and recognized law enforcement practices. This will help ensure that the new Department begins operations with current, legally compliant policies and procedures that promote consistency, accountability, professionalism, and effective risk management.
Discussion & Analysis:
Lexipol is widely regarded as the industry standard for providing legally vetted, California-compliant policies and procedures to public safety agencies. Its policy framework is broadly recognized and utilized by law enforcement agencies throughout California and across the nation. For a small municipal police department with limited administrative resources, such as the Willows Police Department, independently developing, reviewing, and continuously updating policies to keep pace with evolving State and federal law, POST requirements, regulations, and recognized law enforcement standards would be both challenging and resource intensive.
Lexipol is uniquely positioned to provide these services through an integrated policy management platform that incorporates legally reviewed policies, ongoing regulatory and legislative updates, and related policy management resources (Attachment 1). A Lexipol subscription will therefore provide an important foundational component of the administrative and policy framework necessary to reestablish the Willows Police Department as a professional, legally compliant law enforcement agency operating in accordance with applicable California law and POST requirements.
Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:
The recommended action is consistent with Council Priority #3: Public Safety, Goal #1: Invest in the Startup of the Willows Police Department (WPD).
Fiscal Impact:
While some of the cost to subscribe to Lexipol, LLC will be absorbed by the City of Willows membership in the Northern California Cities Self Insurance Fund (NCCSIF) Joint Powers Authority (JPA), the total cost will not exceed $10,000 annually.
Attachment:
Attachment 1: Sole Source Provider letter from Lexipol, LLC 2611 Internet Blvd., Suite 120 Frisco, TX 75034 (844) 312-9500 www.lexipol.com Introduction:
This letter serves as formal confirmation that Lexipol, LLC is the sole source provider in the United States of a policy management platform that combines legally and expert-vetted content tailored to each state’s unique laws and regulations, advanced technology, and scenario-based policy training—all in one solution.
Overview of the Policy Management Solution:
Lexipol Policy provides the only policy management platform that unites legally vetted, regularly updated policies with a proprietary, web-based system designed to support compliance, accountability, and continuous policy training. Lexipol Policy includes:
• State-specific, customizable policies developed by legal and public safety experts, with ongoing updates to reflect changes in laws, regulations, and best practices • Scenario-based daily training to help personnel understand and apply policy in realworld situations • Electronic tracking of policy acknowledgment and training completion, enhancing compliance and accountability, and reducing liability
• A centralized, user-friendly platform offering 24/7 online access to policy content • A mobile app that provides a personalized dashboard, assignment tracking, and easy access to policies for in-the-field guidance
• Expert guidance and support for policy customization, implementation, and ongoing maintenance tailored to your agency’s unique needs
In short, Lexipol Policy equips agencies with the tools to navigate today’s complex public safety environment with confidence.

Attachment 1
2611 Internet Blvd., Suite 120 Frisco, TX 75034 (844) 312-9500 www.lexipol.com Justification for Sole Source Award:
Lexipol is the only provider that delivers this unique combination of features, expert-driven content, and integrated support in a single, scalable platform. Attempting to replicate these services using multiple vendors or internal resources would be time-consuming, costly, and less effective—especially as legal and regulatory demands on public safety agencies continue to grow.
A key differentiator is Lexipol’s state-specific policy content, meticulously crafted and maintained by legal and public safety professionals to reflect the laws and operational realities of each jurisdiction. This saves agencies significant time and effort while ensuring their policies remain compliant and up to date. Because the content is legally sound, agencies can also be confident that their personnel are being trained on accurate, relevant policies—reducing the likelihood of errors and improving field decision-making.
By selecting Lexipol, your agency ensures consistent policy direction, increases safety and accountability, and mitigates risk—ultimately enhancing the quality of service provided to your community.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
We appreciate the opportunity to support your agency and its mission. ________________________________

Agenda Item #7a
_____________________________________________________________________ Date: August 25, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Police Chief Recruitment & Appointment
Recommendation:
Authorize the City Manager to engage a recruitment firm, in an amount not to exceed $30,000, to conduct the recruitment for a City of Willows Police Chief and authorize budget authority to appoint and hire the Police Chief at an annual total compensation amount not to exceed $215,000.
Rationale for Recommendation:
The City Council has directed staff to re-establish the Willows Police Department, including recruiting and appointing a Police Chief as soon as possible.
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., Police Chief), as well as citing other liability and risk concerns.
At its August 11 meeting, the City Council directed staff to engage a professional recruitment firm to assist with the recruitment and appointment of a Police Chief.
Discussion & Analysis:
Staff was directed to move forward with the recruitment and appointment of a Police Chief, including this staff report seeking budget authority to hire a Police Chief and recruitment firm. To that end, staff has begun soliciting proposals from professional recruitment firms to assist with the recruitment process. Although formal written proposals have not yet been received, staff’s initial research has revealed that the cost of a Police Chief recruitment process will be approximately $30,000 based on prevailing recruitment costs. Accordingly, staff recommends that the City Council authorize a not-toexceed amount of $30,000 for professional recruitment services.
Additionally, the recommended salary schedule for the Police Chief includes a top annual salary of $136,020. When factoring in the City’s associated employer costs, including CalPERS, Social Security, and health benefits, the total annual compensation would not exceed $215,000. Accordingly, staff recommends that the City Council authorize budget authority of up to $215,000 in total annual compensation for the Police Chief position and $30,000 to hire a recruitment firm.
Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:
The recommended action is consistent with the Council’s Priority #3: Public Safety, Goal #1: Invest in the Startup of the Willows Police Department (WPD).
Fiscal Impact:
The total fiscal impact to the General Fund to hire a recruiter and appoint a Willows Police Chief is $245,000.
Agenda Item #7b
_____________________________________________________________________ Date: August 25, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Request for Qualifications: Tenant Improvements to Civic Center to Re-Establish Willows Police Department
Recommendation:
Authorize the City Manager to prepare and release a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to engage an architectural/engineering firm to design tenant improvements to the interior of the south wing of the Civic Center and Administrative Offices in order to re-establish the Willows Police Department.
Rationale for Recommendation:
The City plans to re-establish its Police Department; however, the existing interior configuration of the south wing of the Civic Center is not conducive to the operational and functional needs of a modern police department. Additionally, much of the south wing of the Civic Center is currently underutilized and would benefit from architectural reconfiguration to improve space utilization, functionality, and overall efficiency.
Background:
In 2017, the City of Willows dissolved its municipal police department and entered into an agreement with the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office (GCSO) to provide law enforcement services. The agreement expired on June 30, 2026, and cost the City approximately $2.355 million in Fiscal Year 2025-26.
In November 2024, Willows voters approved Measure I, a 1.5 percent general sales tax that became effective April 1, 2025, and is projected to generate up to $2.3 million annually. Measure I revenues were intended, in part, to provide seed funding for the re-establishment of the Willows Police Department. However, after the City completed its first full 12 months of receiving Measure I revenues, from April 2025 through April 2026, it became evident that available revenues were insufficient to simultaneously fund the establishment of a new police department and continue paying for contracted law enforcement services through GCSO during the transition period. As a result, the City Council directed staff to evaluate alternative financing strategies for re-establishing the Willows Police Department and return to the Council with options for consideration.
A comprehensive analysis of potential financing mechanisms for the re-establishment of the Willows Police Department was presented and discussed at the April 28 City Council meeting. As part of that discussion, the Council also directed staff to return at its May 26 meeting with a recommendation to retain a professional consulting firm to develop preliminary design recommendations and a cost estimate for the physical improvements necessary to accommodate the re-established Police Department.
On May 26, staff recommended that the City Council authorize the preparation and release of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to retain a qualified consulting firm to develop a variety of design recommendations and cost estimates to re-establish the Willows Police Department. Consistent with that direction, staff prepared and released the RFQ on June 22, 2026, with a submission deadline of July 20, 2026. No Statements of Qualifications were received by the deadline.
Discussion & Analysis:
Following the unsuccessful June RFQ process, the City Council retained law enforcement consultant Mike Maloney, retired Chief of Police for the City of Chico, to assist with the re-establishment of the Willows Police Department. After evaluating the City’s space needs, Mr. Maloney and the City Manager concluded that the approximately 4,500-square-foot south wing of the Civic Center and Administrative Offices provides sufficient space to accommodate both the Willows Police Department and the seven full-time employees currently assigned to the Administration, Community Development & Services, and Finance Departments (as well as a few part-time contract consultants).
Based on this assessment, staff recommend proceeding with a new Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to solicit a qualified architectural/engineering firm to work with City staff to develop plans and specifications for tenant improvements within the south wing of the Civic Center. The proposed improvements would accommodate the re-established Willows Police Department while maintaining appropriate workspace for existing City administrative functions and ensuring the facility complies with applicable State building, safety, security, and other construction requirements for a municipal police facility.
Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:
The recommended action is consistent with the Council’s Priority #3: Public Safety, Goal #1: Invest in the Startup of the Willows Police Department (WPD).
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact at this time. Once Statements of Qualifications are received and evaluated, and a preferred firm is identified, staff will return to the City Council with a recommendation to retain a qualified firm to design the tenant improvements, along with the associated budget authority, for consideration and approval.

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:
This staff report and the attached proposal were presented to the City Council at the July 28, 2026, Council meeting. No action was taken at that time and the Mayor requested that the item be continued to the August 25 City Council meeting for further consideration.
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.

Agenda Item #7d
_____________________________________________________________________ Date: August 25, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Karleen Price, City Clerk/Assistant to the City Manager Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: City Council Committee Assignments & Appointments Recommendation:
With a newly appointed Councilmember, reconsider City Council committee assignments and appoint Councilmembers to vacant positions.
Rationale for Recommendation:
The resignation of former City Councilmember Matt Busby resulted in vacancies in several City Council committee assignments. With the appointment of a new Councilmember, the City Council may wish to fill vacant committee assignments, as well as possibly assign existing Councilmembers to new committees.
Background:
Former City Councilmember Matt Busby resigned from the City Council effective July 1, 2026, leaving his committee assignments vacant.
On August 18, 2026, following an open application process and interviews of qualified applicants, the City Council appointed John Lowe to fill the vacant City Council seat.
With Mr. Lowe’s forthcoming appointment, the City Council may wish to review existing committee assignments and determine whether to fill only the assignments previously held by former Councilmember Busby and/or reassign committee appointments to other Councilmembers as well. Timely appointments ensure continued City representation on the various boards and committees on which Councilmembers serve.
Discussion & Analysis:
As identified in Attachment 2, there are five vacant committee assignments previously held by former Councilmember Busby that require Council appointments.
The City Council may consider the interests, availability, experience, and existing assignments of each Councilmember when making appointments. The Council may choose to appoint the newly appointed Councilmember to some or all of the vacant assignments and/or reassign other Councilmembers to committees.
Following the appointment process, staff will update the City Council committee appointment roster and provide the applicable boards, committees, and agencies with the City's current representatives.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact by making new committee appointments.
