V. ACTION/DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Information: Recognition of the Woodlake Varsity Softball Team The Softball team was recognized by the Woodlake City Council and Senator Hurtado for their amazing season. The Woodlake Varsity Softball Team finished their season with a 30-1 record. They are Back to Back East Sequoia League Champions, Back to Back Central Section Valley Champions and Division IV State Champions.

B. Action: Adoption of Resolution: Approving the General Plan EIR Amendment to Support the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update
Community Development Director Llamas reported the following: The project consists of a comprehensive update to the City of Woodlake General Plan Housing Element with targeted updates to the Land Use Element and Zoning Ordinance. The 2028 General Plan underwent environmental review in the form of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), which was certified in June 2009 by the City Council (State Clearinghouse No. 2000082129). The EIR for the 2028 General Plan is a comprehensive document and includes discussion of alternatives and growth inducing impacts associated with urban development in the city at the time it was developed.

The Woodlake General Plan 2008 to 2028 Land Use Element and the Zoning Ordinance have been updated to comply with current State Housing regulations, as required for an approved and compliant Housing Element.

The Land Use Element serves as a guide to the city’s growth and physical development by establishing the type, intensity, and general distribution of land uses, such as housing, business,industry, and public uses. The Land Use Element would be updated to maintain consistency with the goals and policies of the Housing Element Update. Specifically, the Land Use Element would be revised to remove the persons per acre metric from the maximum densities for residential land use designations. This change would not alter the permitted densities of residential land use designations, as the maximum dwelling units per acre would still apply.
1 The Zoning Ordinance is the key component for implementing the City’s General Plan.

While the General Plan outlines the City’s long-term vision for development, the Zoning Ordinance provides specific regulations and standards necessary to achieve that vision.

This Addendum, therefore, analyzes the changes and potential impacts related to the adoption of the Housing Element Update, Land Use Element Update, and Zoning Ordinance Amendment. While the Housing Element, Land Use Element Update, and Zoning Ordinance Amendment promotes housing opportunities for all persons in City of Woodlake, the proposed project would not alter land use densities of the 2028 General Plan (thus would not increase the growth beyond what is currently allowed under the 2028 General Plan or the growth anticipated in the General Plan EIR). This Addendum analyzes the changes and potential impacts related to the adoption of the Housing Element Update, Land Use Element Update, and Zoning Ordinance Amendment. This Addendum is intended to demonstrate consistency of the project with the General Plan EIR to comply with the requirements of CEQA.

The City of Woodlake, as the lead agency, has determined that an addendum to the General Plan EIR is the appropriate environmental document under CEQA because the proposed project would not require revisions to the certified General Plan EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or substantial increases in the severity of significant effects previously identified in the General Plan EIR.

ON A MOTION BY MARTINEZ SECOND BY WALLACE IT WAS VOTED TO

ADOPT THE RESOLUTIO AND APPROVE THE GENERAL PLAN EIR
AMENDMENT TO SUPPORT THE 6TH CYCLE HOUSING ELEMENT
UPDATE. APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY BY ROLL CALL VOTE.

C. Action: Adoption of Resolution: Adopting the City of Woodlake 6th Cycle Housing Element Update for the Period of 2023-2030 in Compliance with State Housing Element Law and Amending the General Plan – PUBLIC HEARING
Community Development Director reported the following: California Government Code Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 10.6 [65580 – 65589.11] regulates the use and requirements of housing elements in California. Every city and county in California must have a Housing Element. It is a plan for providing housing opportunities in the city. The Housing Element is one of the mandatory elements of the General Plan and must be certified by the state. The housing element is required to be updated every eight years.

This housing element covers the planning period of 2023-2031.

The Housing Element is comprised of multiple elements with the major sections listed below:

1. Housing Needs Assessment. Examine demographic, employment and housing trends and conditions and identify existing and projected housing needs of the community, with attention paid to special housing needs (e.g., large families, people with disabilities).

This section includes a community’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) as determined by a community’s regional planning body in partnership with HCD.

2. Evaluation of Past Performance. Review the prior Housing Element to measure progress in implementing policies and programs.

3. Housing Sites Inventory. Identify locations of available sites for housing development or redevelopment to demonstrate there is enough land zoned for housing to meet future need at all income levels.

4. Community Engagement. Implement a robust community engagement program that includes reaching out to individuals and families at all economic levels of the community plus historically underrepresented groups.

5. Constraints Analysis. Analyze and recommend remedies for existing and potential governmental and non-governmental barriers to housing development.

6. Policies and Programs. Establish policies and programs to be carried out during the 2023-2031 planning period to fulfill the identified housing needs.

7. Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH). Assembly Bill 686 (AB 686), passed in 2018, created new requirements for jurisdictions to affirmatively further fair housing. According to AB 686, affirmatively furthering fair housing means to take 2 “meaningful actions, in addition to combating discrimination, which overcome patterns of segregation and foster inclusive communities free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity based on protected characteristics” and is Federally mandated by the 1968 Fair Housing Act. The four main goals are to:
a. Address significant disparities in housing needs and in access to opportunity, and
b. Replace segregated living patterns with truly integrated and balanced living patterns, and
c. Transform racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty into areas of opportunity, and
d. Foster and maintain compliance with civil rights and fair housing laws.

8. Housing Plan. This eight-year Housing Plan (2023-2031) sets forth a strategy, including goals, policies, and programs, to address housing issues identified in Woodlake.

The City has prepared an update to the Housing Element of the General Plan to affirmatively further fair housing and accommodate the 492 unit Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for the 2023-2031 Housing Element cycle. The content of the 2023-2031 Housing Element is structured for consistency with the requirements set forth in state law.

On June 2, 2025, the City received HCD’s findings regarding the Element’s revised draft and HCD determined that the Housing Element will substantially comply with State Housing Element Law when it is adopted by City Council and submitted to HCD in accordance with Government Code section 65585.

PUBLIC COMMENT OPENED: 7:00 PM
PUBLIC COMMENT CLOSED: 7:02 PM

COMPLIANCE WITH STATE HOUSING ELEMENT LAW AND AMENDING
THE GENERAL PLAN. APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY BY ROLL CALL
VOTE.

D. Action: Adoption of Resolution: Approval of the City of Woodlake’s Fiscal Year 2025- 2026 Budget
City Administrator Lara reported the following: Annually, City staff submit to the City Council a draft budget. The draft budget is submitted at scheduled Council meetings, which are open to the public. The purpose of the budgeting process is to propose necessary expenditures and the means of funding them. The current budget will be in place from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. The Draft budget was presented to the Council and to the public during a budget session on May 27, 2025, Council meeting.

The City of Woodlake, like many other governmental agencies, has had to adapt to current economic conditions and revenue streams. The City has taken a conservative approach during its budget process, while keeping in mind the wellbeing of its citizens and its employees. City Administration has negotiated employee benefits packages based on benefit comparisons with other small cities in Tulare County.

For Fiscal Year 2025/2026 City staff are presenting a balanced budget that allows for adequate services to be provided for its citizens. Some of the major highlights for this year’s budget will be the continued infrastructure improvements city-wide, addition of housing development and continued park improvements.

The City will have to find ways to deal with a decrease in sales tax and project cost overruns. The City will also find other funding sources to help fund key stormwater, streets and park projects.

When more than one employee has a common grievance, they may initiate a single grievance proceeding to be heard by the Supervisor who has responsibility of the aggrieved. Time limits established in the grievance procedure may be extended by mutual agreement. Grievances shall be processed on standard forms obtainable from a personnel or payroll clerk. Involvement by the Director shall be considered consistent with this procedure. The employee may in writing waive any step in the procedure.

1. PURPOSE: To inform any employee who wants to report an incident of an employee violating the discrimination, harassment or retaliation policies of the City, that the employee should promptly report the matter to his or her supervisor, the head of their department or Human Resources.

j. The investigator(s) shall prepare a written report. The report shall include a summary of the investigation and a conclusion.

3. NO RETALIATION:

Whistleblower protections are provided in two important areas: confidentiality of the report and protection against retaliation. The confidentiality of the whistleblower will be maintained to the extent possible to investigate the report and to address the alleged violation. However, identity may have to be disclosed to conduct a thorough investigation, to comply with the law, or to provide any accused individuals their legal rights of defense.

No City officer, or employee, or any person acting on behalf of the City, shall influence, restrain, or prevent any employee or member of the community from disclosing information that the employee or member of the community has reasonable cause to believe relates to or is evidence of misconduct. Any employee acting in good faith and upon a reasonable belief as a whistleblower that misconduct has occurred, or who believes the City has disclosed or may disclose such information will be protected from threats and/or retaliation, including, but not limited to, discharge, demotion, suspension, harassment, reduced compensation, changes in the terms and conditions of employment, or other forms of discrimination. Additionally, no employee may be adversely affected because the employee refused to carry out a directive that would result in a violation of state or federal statute or a violation of or noncompliance with local, state, or federal rule or regulation.

Whistleblower protection from retaliation also includes the following circumstances:
• When a whistleblower complaint is filed against a person who has authority over the complainant or filed against a person who has authority to investigate, discover or correct the alleged violation or noncompliance.
• When whistleblowers provide information to or testify before any public body which is 138
43 investigating, hearing, or inquiring into an employer’s violation of or noncompliance with local, state, or federal rules or regulations.
• When a whistleblower reports a reasonable belief of a violation of a municipal ordinance.

This policy does not prohibit the City from taking adverse action for legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons that are unrelated to the whistleblower complaint. Such legitimate or non-discriminatory actions may include discipline for a legal cause or refusing to hire, promote, transfer, or take any other legitimate personnel action based on inadequate qualifications or poor performance reviews.

The City’s Whistleblower Policy is intended to describe the City’s policies and procedures for reporting prohibited activities and protecting whistleblowers. This policy is in addition to and does not supplant whistleblower protections and procedures provided under state and federal laws. 139

2. INTRODUCTION
The Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 is a federal law which obligated certain federal contractors and grant recipients to undertake specified actions directed to ensuring a "drug-free workplace". Failure to comply can result in the loss of federal contracts and grants. The DrugFree Workplace Act of 1990 is a law of the State of California, which requires state contractors and grantees to undertake similar action directed to enduring a "drug-free workplace".

These acts require that the affected agencies certify that a drug-free workplace will be afforded by providing notice of the program requirements to each employee and by establishing a drugfree awareness program which informs employees about the dangers of drug abuse, about the employer's policy of maintaining a drug-free workplace, about available drug counseling, rehabilitation and employee assistance programs and about the penalties that may result from drug abuse violations in the workplace.
164
69 The Acts do not require drug testing.

This statement sets forth the policy of the City of Woodlake pursuant to the Federal Drug-Free Workplace Act and the California Drug-Free Workplace Act, herein jointly referred to as the "Act". All references to employee or management personnel shall mean those employees and managers in department covered by the Act.

It is the intention of this policy to eliminate drug abuse and the effects of such abuse in the workplace and to thus provide and maintain an efficient and safe workplace for all employees.

Drug abuse increases the potential for accidents, absenteeism, and substandard performance, poor employee morale and damages the public service and the City of Woodlake.

It is the policy of the City of Woodlake that while any employee is on duty, on City property, at work locations or on "on-call" time, such employee shall not be under the influence of, or in possession of a controlled substance; shall not sell or provide drugs to any other employee or any other person; shall not engage in the unlawful manufacture of drugs; and shall not utilize or otherwise have his or her ability to work impaired as a result of the use of drugs. For purposes of this policy, "on-call” time is time during which an employee is required by the Department Head to be available to perform duties for the City as set forth in Woodlake Personnel Rule No.

16. The City of Woodlake will act to eliminate any drug abuse, which could impair an employee's ability to safely and effectively perform the functions of his or her job. Accordingly, supervisors within the affected departments will be trained to recognize drug abusers and to become involved in the control of drug abuse in the workplace.

Employees who believe that they may have a drug problem are encouraged to voluntarily seek confidential assistance through the Employee Assistance Program. While it is Woodlake Policy to be supportive of those who seek help voluntarily, it is also the policy that abuse of drugs will not be tolerated and disciplinary action, up to and including termination will be used as necessary to implement this policy and assure a drug free workplace.

It is the further policy of the City that all employees should be made aware of the dangers of abusing drugs, of guidelines for the detection and deterrence of drug abuse, of the responsibility of managers and employees alike, and of resources available for treatment of drug abuse.

The term "controlled substance" is defined by the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988 as one set forth in schedules I through V of section 202 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 812), a copy of which is attached. The term “drug", when used in this policy, shall mean a "controlled substance".
165
70 3. EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITIES

a. Report to work while his or her ability to perform job duties is impaired due to any on or off duty illegal drug use;
b. Have his or her ability to perform job duties impaired due to illegal drug use while on "on-call" time.
c. Possess or use impairing illegal drugs during working hours or while on “on- call" time, on breaks, during work day or shift meal periods or at any time while on the City' property;
d. Sell or provide, directly or through any third person, any illegal drugs to any person, including any employee while either employee or both employees are on duty or on "oncall" time. e. Manufacture any drugs during working hours or "on-call” time, during workday or shift meal periods, during breaks or at any time while on City property.

Attend such programs as the City may designate for the purposes of instructing employees generally of the dangers of drug abuse, which will be scheduled as work time. h. Read this policy, agree to its terms and provide written acknowledgement of receipt of a copy of this policy.

4. MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Management shall:
a. Provide each employee with a copy of this policy, of the Federal and State Drug- Free Workplace Acts, and of a list of available drug abuse treatment resources. b.

e. Make a good faith effort to continue to maintain a drug-free workplace.

5. ABUSE IDENTIFICATION
The City of Woodlake is committed to providing reasonable accommodation to employees whose drug problem classifies them as handicapped under federal or state law. Where appropriate, the employees will be referred to the Employee Assistance Program.

Any manager or supervisor who has a reasonable suspicion that an employee is under the influence of illegal drugs should document the facts constituting reasonable suspicion in writing.

If a manager or supervisor has a reasonable suspicion that an employee may have illegal drugs in his or her possession or stored at or in any City property, they shall notify their Department Head. If the Department Head agrees that there is a reasonable suspicion of illegal drug possession, the Department Head shall notify the appropriate law enforcement agency.

For purpose of this policy, "reasonable suspicion" is a belief based on objective facts sufficient to lead a reasonably prudent supervisor to suspect that an employee is under the influence of drugs so that the employee's ability to perform the functions of the job is impaired or so that the employee's ability to perform his or her job safely is reduced.

Employees reasonably believed to be under the influence of drugs shall be prevented from engaging in further work and shall be detained for a reasonable time to assure he or she can be safely transported from the work site.

Reasonable suspicion may, without limitation, include any of the following, singly or in combination:
167
72 a. Slurred speech
b. Unsteady walking or movements
c. An accident
d. A pattern of unusual mood swings
e. Physical or verbal altercations
f. Possession of drugs
g. Information obtained from a reliable source with personal knowledge h. Dilated or restricted pupils or other demeanor unusual for the particular employee, or consistent with impairment of ability to perform normal duties.

This policy shall be applicable to all City of Woodlake employees whether regular or probationary, full or part time.

Copies of the Federal Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, of the California Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1990 and a list of available drug treatment resources are attached.

Any inquiries regarding any aspect of this policy, the Federal Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, the State Drug Free-Workplace Act of 1990, the Employees Assistance Program, or other available drug abuse treatment resources, should be directed to the City of Woodlake Personnel Department.

AGENDA ITEM V-C
July 14, 2025
Prepared by Ramon Lara, City Staff
SUBJECT:

Action: Adoption of Resolution: Approval of Amendment No. 1 to the Mid Valley Disposal Franchise Agreement
BACKGROUND:

Senate Bill 1383 states that California is now experiencing the effects of a climate crisis:
hotter summers with world record-breaking temperatures, even more devastating fire seasons, more extreme droughts, and rising sea levels that erode our coastlines.

Scientists tell us that greenhouse gases released by human activities, like landfilling food and yard waste, cause climate change. To respond to this climate crisis, California is implementing statewide organic waste recycling and surplus food recovery.

Entering into a Franchise Agreement with Mid Valley Disposal on September 25, 2023, allowed the City to retain the necessary recycling, organics, and solid waste refuse services to be compliant with SB1383. The agreement would include necessary services to remain compliant such as edible food recovery plan, organics and recycling collection, contamination monitoring, education and outreach campaigns, capacity planning and procurement of organic waste products.

DISCUSSION:

City staff have been evaluating the services and rates of the current agreement and have worked with Mid Valley staff on some changes to the agreement that are in the best interest of both parties. The changes are shown in the sections delineated below and highlighted in the attached amended agreement.

1. Section 4 – Term and Termination – page 5 of the agreement

2. Section 13 – Compensation – page 21 of the agreement

3. Exhibit “A” Provided Services – page 27 of the agreement

4. Exhibit “D” Fees – page 38 of the agreement
214
One of the key reasons City staff wanted to amend the agreement was to reduce refuse service rates. The amendment brings down the base rate for residential services starting July 1, 2025, from $25.03 to $23.50. This will make the City of Woodlake’s refuse rates comparable with other small cities in the area without giving up any essential refuse services.

City Base Rate
City of Woodlake $23.50
City of Lindsay $23.68
City of Exeter $23.38
City of Farmersville $22.18
RECOMMENDATIONS:

Staff recommend that Council approve Amendment No. 1 to the Mid Valley Disposal Franchise Agreement. The amendment will better serve the needs of the City and its residents.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no impact on the General Fund. The amendment will reduce the rates for residents and allow Public Works to receive the services they have requested.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Grantee is alleged to have, or determined to have, or not disputed allegations that it has negligently or willfully acted or failed to act with respect to the collection, handling or transportation of Hazardous Waste, Grantee shall indemnify, defend with counsel chosen by City, protect and hold harmless the City and its respective elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, contractors, consultants, attorneys, agents, volunteers, assigns, and any successor or successors harmless from and against all claims, actual damages (including, but not limited to, special and consequential damages), natural resources damage, punitive damages, injuries, costs, response remediation and removal costs, losses, demands, debts, liens, liabilities, causes of action, suits, legal or administrative proceedings, interest, fines, charges, penalties, and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys' and expert witness fees and costs incurred in connection with defending against any of the foregoing or in enforcing this indemnity) of any kind whatsoever paid, incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, City or its respective officials, officers, employees, contractors, consultants, attorneys, agents, volunteers, assigns, and any successor or Grantees arising from or attributable to any repair, cleanup or detoxification, or preparation and implementation of any removal, remedial response, closure or other plan (regardless of whether undertaken due to governmental action) concerning any Hazardous Waste as to which Grantee has negligently or willfully acted or failed to act with respect to its collection, handling or transportation at any place where Grantee stores, handles, transports or disposes of Solid Waste pursuant to this Franchise Agreement. The foregoing indemnity does not extend to liability arising from de minimis amounts of household hazardous waste that Customers may place in solid waste receptacles, and excludes liability arising from City’s decision to exercise its waste delivery designation rights under Section 8 of this Agreement. The foregoing indemnity is intended to operate and shall operate as an agreement pursuant to Section 107(e) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, "CERCLA", 42 U.S.C. Section 9607(e) and California Health and Safety Code Section 25364, to insure, protect, indemnify, and hold the City harmless from liability.

SECTION 10 - FAILURE TO PERFORM AND REMEDIES
The rights of the Grantee and City upon the failure of either to perform as required under this Agreement shall be as provided below:

A. Administration, Enforcement and Remedies
(1) If the City Manager determines at any time that the Grantee’s performance of the Solid Waste Handling services authorized/required in this Franchise Agreement, are not in conformity with the provisions of the Franchise Agreement, or applicable federal, state, or local law or regulation, including but not limited to the laws governing collection, transfer, 229
12 storage and/or disposal of Solid Waste, the City Manager will notify Grantee in writing of such deficiencies ("Notice of Deficiency").

The Notice of Deficiency may provide a reasonable time within which correction of all noted deficiencies is to be made. Unless a shorter or longer period of time is specified in the notice of deficiency sent by the City Manager, a reasonable time for correction shall be thirty (30) consecutive calendar days from the receipt by the Grantee of such written notice. If the Grantee cannot reasonably correct or remedy a noted deficiency within the time specified in the Notice of Deficiency, but the Grantee immediately commences to correct or remedy such deficiency within the time set forth in the Notice of Deficiency and diligently pursues such correction or remedy thereafter Grantee shall not be deemed to have failed to correct or remedy the Notice of Deficiency. The Parties agree that while uncured defaults of material provisions of the Agreement which present an imminent and substantial threat to public health and safety should result in termination of the Agreement, minor defaults should be the subject of liquidated damages as set forth herein. For purposes of this section, assessment of liquid damages in total of more than $10,000.00 in any twelve (12) month period shall be deemed a material breach. (2) The City Manager shall review the Grantee’s response to the Notice of Deficiency. If the City Manager determines that the Grantee has not cured the deficiency, or if there is no cure period provided in the Notice of Deficiency given the nature of the deficiency, the City Manager shall either:
i. Refer the matter directly to the City Council for decision pursuant to subsection (3) of this Section 10–A; or
ii. Decide the matter and notify the Grantee of that decision, in writing.  The decision of the City Manager may be to terminate the Franchise Agreement or may be to impose some lesser sanction;
 The decision of the City Manager shall be final and binding on Grantee unless the Grantee files a "Notice of Appeal" with the City Manager within thirty (30) days of receipt of the City Manager’s decision. The Notice of Appeal shall be in writing, shall contain a detailed and precise statement of the basis for the appeal.
 Within fourteen (14) working days of receipt of a Notice of Appeal, the City Manager shall refer the appeal to the City Council for proceedings in accordance with subsection (3) of this Section 10–A.
(3) Should the City Manager refer the Notice of Deficiency to the City Council in the first instance, or if the matter reaches the City Council pursuant to a Notice of Appeal, the City shall set the matter for hearing.
i. If the City Council sets the matter for public hearing:
 The City shall give Grantee, and any interested person requesting the same, ten (10) days written notice of the time and place of the hearing. At the hearing, the City shall consider the report of the Manager indicating the deficiencies, and shall give the Grantee, or its representatives and any other interested person, a reasonable opportunity to be heard. 230
13  Based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the City Council shall decide the appropriate action to be taken. If, based upon the record, the City determines that as noted in the Notice of Deficiency the Grantee’s performance of the Solid Waste Handling services authorized/required in this Franchise Agreement, are not in conformity with the provisions of the Franchise Agreement, or constitute a material violation of applicable federal, state, or local law or regulation, including but not limited to the laws governing collection, transfer, storage and/or disposal of Solid Waste, then the City may terminate this Franchise Agreement forthwith if it determines that an imminent and substantial threat to public health and safety has been created as a result of Grantees’ deficiency, or in the case of any other uncorrected breach, it may impose such lesser sanction or sanctions not involving termination as it deems reasonably appropriate. The decision of the City Council shall be final and conclusive.
(4) Grantee’s performance under this Franchise Agreement is not excused during the period of time prior to the City Manager's or the City Council’s final determination, as the case may be, regarding the validity of, and appropriate response to, the deficiencies noted in the Notice of Deficiency.
(5) In the event Grantee: (i) has received a Notice of Deficiency and fails to perform Solid Waste Handling services; or (ii) has had its Franchise Agreement terminated; the City, reserves the right, in addition to all other rights available to the City, to take any one or combination of the following actions:
i. To rent or lease from Grantee, at its respective fair and reasonable rental value, all or any part of the Grantee's equipment (including collection containers utilized by Customers and office equipment and billing programs), utilized by Grantee in providing the Solid Waste Handling services required under this Franchise Agreement. The City may rent or lease such equipment for a period not to exceed six (6) months, for the purpose of performing the Solid Waste Handling services, or any part thereof, which Grantee is (or was), obligated to provide pursuant to its Franchise Agreement. The City may use said rented equipment to directly perform such Solid Waste Handling service or to assign it to some other Grantee or Person to act on the City’s behalf. Grantee shall be held responsible for the costs to insure the City or its assignee from all liability resulting from the operation of Grantee’s equipment. In the case of equipment not owned by Grantee, Grantee shall assign to the City, to the extent Grantee is permitted to do so under the instruments pursuant to which Grantee possesses and uses such equipment, the right to possess and use the equipment. ii. As used in this subsection, "reasonable rental value" means the rate for such equipment as listed in the State Division of Transportation publication, "Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates," in effect at the time the City leases the equipment. If a particular piece of equipment is not listed in said publication or if said publication is not current, the reasonable rental value may be established by the Manager by any equitable alternative method.
iii. If the City exercises its rights under this subsection, the City shall pay or owe Grantee the reasonable rental value of the equipment so taken for the period of 231
14 the City’s possession thereof. The City may offset any amounts due to Grantee pursuant to this provision against any amounts due the City from Grantee. iv. All revenues owed by Customers which are attributable to services performed by or at the direction of the City during City's assumption of Grantee's Solid Waste Handling duties shall be billed by and paid to the City. To the extent Grantee receives such revenue after City's assumption of Grantee's Solid Waste Handling duties, Grantee shall pay such revenue to City promptly after receipt thereof (or promptly after City has performed the services related to such revenue, if the revenue was received by the Grantee prior to the City's assumption of duties) and Grantee shall be deemed to have assigned to City all of Grantee's right and interest to any such revenues.
(6) The City rights set forth in this Section 10–A are in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other powers or rights available to the City upon failure of Grantee to perform its obligations under this Franchise Agreement. Further, by entering into this Franchise Agreement Grantee acknowledges, admits and agrees, for use as evidence in any proceeding of any nature, and from time to time, that its material violation of any terms of this Franchise Agreement shall cause the City to suffer irreparable injury and damages sufficient to support injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of the Franchise Agreement, and to enjoin the breach thereof. Grantee hereby agrees that the City may deem the foregoing a stipulation, for any purpose or proceeding.

B. Resolution of Customer Complaints
Procedures for resolution of complaints and other disputes shall be as follows:
(1) Grantee agrees to use its best efforts to resolve all complaints received by close of business of the second working (waste collection) day following the date on which such complaint is received. (See Office of Inquiries and Complaints section herein). Service complaints may be investigated by City Manager, as necessary to resolve. Grantee shall provide reasonable cooperation in the event of such investigation. Grantee shall maintain records listing the date of Customer complaint, the name, address and telephone number of Customer, the nature of the complaint or request, and the date when and nature of the action taken by the Grantee to resolve the complaint. All such records shall be maintained for at least three (3) years after Grantee's receipt of the complaint or inquiry and shall be available for inspection by City during all business hours. Service complaints shall be responsibility of Grantee whether received by City and forwarded to Grantee, or received directly by Grantee.
(2) If the Grantee fails to cure a complaint, the City Manager shall review the complaint and determine if further action is warranted. The Manager may request written statements from the Grantee and Customer, or oral presentations or both written and oral presentations.
(3) The City Manager shall determine if the Customer's complaint is justified, and if so, what remedy, if any, shall be applied. The remedy provided to the Customer under this Section shall be limited to a refund of Customer charges related to the period of violation of any of the terms of Division 6 of Title 4 of the Code or of the breach of any term of this Franchise Agreement. In addition to any other remedy of City contained in this Agreement, City may impose upon Grantee liquidated damages of up to one hundred dollars ($100.00) payable 232
15 to the City for any single event or series of related events, or actual damages as demonstrated during the resolution procedure.
(4) The City Manager may delegate the duties under this Section to a designee. The decision of the City Manager or a designee shall be final on any matter of five hundred dollars ($500.00) or less. In the event of a decision on a matter awarding more than five hundred dollars ($500.00), Grantee may seek review pursuant to the Notice of Appeal procedure contained in Section 10–A of this Agreement.

SECTION 11 - FRANCHISE TRANSFER
The rights of the Grantee in regard to the transferability of its Franchise shall be as set forth below:
(1) Neither this Franchise Agreement nor any right or privilege granted in this Agreement shall voluntarily or involuntarily be transferred, sold, hypothecated, sublet, assigned or leased, in whole or in part, nor shall title thereto, either legal or equitable, or any right, interest, or property therein (all collectively referred to herein as "transfer" ), pass to or vest in any Person, except the Grantee, either by act of the Grantee or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of the City. Any attempt by Grantee, or by operation of law, to transfer this Franchise Agreement without the prior written consent of the City shall be void and deemed a material breach of this Agreement.
(2) This Franchise Agreement shall terminate on any Change in Ownership of Grantee, unless such Change in Ownership has been consented to, in writing, by the City prior to the effective date of such Change in Ownership.
(3) The City shall review a request by Grantee that the City approve a transfer of all or part of Grantee's interest in this Franchise Agreement, or that the City consent to a Change in Ownership of Grantee, using such criteria as it deems necessary including, but not limited to, those listed below.

The Grantee shall pay the City a maximum of $50,000.00 for incurred attorney's fees and related administrative and investigation costs necessary to determine the suitability of any proposed transferee or proposed new owners, and to review and finalize any documentation required by City, in its sole and absolute discretion to determine what form of documentation will be used in terms of effecting a proper transfer, as a condition for approving any such transfer or Change in Ownership.
ii. The Grantee shall furnish the City with independently audited financial statements of the proposed transferee's operations for the immediately preceding three (3) operating years.
iii. The Grantee shall furnish the City with proof satisfactory to City, in its sole and absolute discretion:
233
16  that the proposed transferee or the proposed management of the Grantee under the proposed new owner has at least three (3) years of solid waste management experience of a scale equal to or exceeding the scale of operations conducted by Grantee under this Agreement;  that in the last five (5) years, the proposed transferee or any company managed by the proposed new owner (or by the proposed management of the Grantee under the proposed new owner) has not received any citations, Notice of Violations or other censure from any federal, state or local agency having jurisdiction over its waste management operations due to any failure to comply with state, federal or local waste management laws, where such failure either: (i) evidences a pattern of disregard for such state, federal or local waste management laws; or (ii) involves actions which endangered the lives or property of any Person.

Grantee shall supply the City with a complete list of such citations, Notices of Violations and censures, if any;
 that the proposed transferee or any company managed by the proposed new owner (or by the proposed management of the Grantee under the proposed new owner) has at all times conducted its operations in an environmentally safe and conscientious fashion;

City and Grantee agree, unless disclosure is required under the Public Records Act, that Grantee’s financial data and operational records shall remain confidential with respect to third parties, and shall be protected from 234
17 disclosure to the extent they contain proprietary information, including trade secrets, whether or not designated as such by Grantee.
(2) All information required to be kept, maintained or furnished to the City shall be maintained a minimum of five (5) years after the entry of the most recent item therein; B. Reporting Requirements
During the term of this Franchise Agreement, Grantee shall submit to the City quarterly, and more often if required by law, information reasonably required by City to meet its reporting obligations imposed by AB 939 and AB 901, as amended, and the regulations implementing each, in a manner acceptable to City. Grantee agrees to submit such reports and information as reasonably requested by the City. Grantee agrees to render all reasonable cooperation and assistance to the City in meeting the requirements of the City’s source reduction and recycling element and non-disposal facility element.

C. Annual and Quarterly Reports

SECTION 13 - COMPENSATION
A. Compensation and Billing
Each party shall provide/maintain accurate and complete accounting and billing. Either party may request and be entitled to review the other party’s accounting and billing related to this Agreement.
235
18 (1) Billing and Payment. All requests for service, or for changes in service, shall be processed by City and promptly reported to Grantee. City shall provide billing services to all residential, commercial and industrial customers who receive service pursuant to this Agreement, except that Drop Box services will be billed and collected by Grantee.

On a monthly basis, City shall remit to Grantee the full amount of services provided based on the Grantee Fees set forth on Exhibit “D.” The monthly compensation payment to Grantee shall be paid by City within thirty (30) days of the end of the applicable billing cycle. Said Fees paid to Grantee are exclusive of fees collected by City for billing and customer services provided by the City, contract management, enterprise fund management, and Franchise Fees. The parties acknowledge City’s right to add and retain such fees.

Each party’s accounting and billing shall be accurate and complete. Either party may request and be entitled to review the other party’s accounting and billing related to this Agreement.
(2) Grantee’s Fees. Grantee shall provide solid waste handling services pursuant to this Agreement at the Fees set forth in the attached Exhibit “D,” the contents of which are incorporated by this reference. The Exhibit “D” Fees will apply at the inception of this Agreement, and are subject to adjustment as set forth elsewhere herein.

The parties acknowledge their understanding that the Exhibit “D” Fees are not necessarily reflective of the total charges that City will actually bill to customers. The City expressly reserves the right to charge customers whatever Rates it deems reasonable or appropriate, and the actual charges to a customer will include additional amounts, over and above the amount that will be paid to Grantee, to cover such administrative, finance, collection or other fees as the City determines proper. If no Fee has been established for a particular service billed by City, Grantee and City shall mutually agree on an appropriate charge for that service or service level. If no Rate has been established for a service billed directly by Grantee, then Grantee shall determine with Customer the appropriate charge, subject to City approval. Grantee shall promptly notify City of any new Rates to be billed by Grantee.

The Exhibit “D” Fees are inclusive of all Solid Waste handling services to be provided, including collection, transportation, processing, composting, disposal, and cart and bin costs, and costs associated with moving bins from standard enclosures such distance as is reasonably necessary to empty them (but not including costs associated with moving bins beyond such distance in unusual circumstances or due to special requests by customers). No other charges shall be imposed by Grantee for such services unless approved by City.

B. Adjustment to Fees
The following annual and special rate adjustments shall be made to the Fees provided for in this Franchise Agreement. Grantee acknowledges that the City is subject to Article XIIID of the California Constitution, which limits the manner in which the City may raise property-related fees that are charged to customers. All adjustments to Grantee’s fees shall be subject to the requirements of Article XIIID, as applicable. Any rate increase that has not been submitted to Customers as required by Article XIIID shall not be implemented by Grantee. If, at any time, a Rate adjustment cannot be implemented for any reason, Grantee and City shall negotiate in good 236
19 faith, a reduction of services equal to the value of the Rate adjustment that cannot be implemented. If City and Grantee are unable to reach agreement about such a reduction in services, then Grantee may terminate this Agreement upon one year’s prior written notice to City. (1) Annual Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA)
Beginning July 1, following the Effective Date of this Franchise Agreement, the Fee shall, subject to the requirements and limitations associated with California Constitution Article XIIID, be annually adjusted upwards by adding a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) to the then current Fee. The COLA shall be based on the change in the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI).

An example of the CPI adjustment for July 1, 2021 is shown below:

Annual CPI-U 2019: 295.004
Annual CPI-U 2020: 300.084
Change: 5.080
% Increase: 1.72% (5.080 ÷ 295.004)
(2) Disposal Fee Adjustment
Any increases in the per ton disposal tipping fees at the Solid Waste Facility that exceed the annual COLA shall be included in the annual Fee adjustment under paragraph 1 as a pass-through cost. Contractor shall notify City of any such increases that should be applied to the annual COLA.
(3) Extraordinary Adjustment
The parties acknowledge that there may be infrequent extraordinary events which, although they do not prevent either party from performing, and thus do not implicate the Force Majeure provisions hereof, nevertheless increase the cost of providing service such that Grantee’s compensation and the Fee adjustment mechanism provided in this Agreement result in Grantee’s suffering losses which are substantially outside the commercially reasonable expectations of the parties. The obligation of the parties in such event is to act reasonably toward each other in arriving at an appropriate adjustment in Fees. Accordingly, at its option, Grantee may apply to the City at any time, but not more frequently than once annually, for an extraordinary Fee adjustment should an event or circumstance arise (including a change in landfill tipping fee) that is not the result of a Change in Law or Change in Service Level which negatively impacts the economic operation of Grantee and which is in excess of the Fee adjustment resulting from the application of the annual adjustment formula set for in subparagraph (a) above. An interim adjustment in Fees will be deemed justified if it is necessary for the Grantee to make a substantial change in its operations, or substantial capital expenditure or investment in order to perform its obligations under this Agreement due to the occurrence of an event or circumstance other than a Change in Law or Change in Service Level which is beyond the reasonable control of Grantee. In the event of such an application for an extraordinary Fee increase, it is understood that the Grantee shall have the burden 237
20 of demonstrating to the reasonable satisfaction of City the basis for the extraordinary increased cost.
(4) Franchise Fee Adjustment
The Franchise Fee adjustment shall be the pass through of one hundred percent (100%) of any increase or decrease in the Franchise Fee, and shall be effective as of the date the Franchise Fee increase or decrease is payable by the Grantee. (5) Change in Scope Level Adjustment
i. Subject to the satisfaction of the requirements of California Constitution Article XIIID, the Fee shall be increased (or decreased) by one hundred percent (100%) of the increase (or decrease) or incremental increase (or incremental decrease), as the case may be, in the demonstrable costs (i.e., on any direct or indirect cost, whether fixed or variable) associated with the change in the level of the Solid Waste Handling services which may be required of, or agreed to by, Grantee.

City shall provide Grantee ninety (90) days notice of any requested changes in scope of this agreement. A Change in Scope Adjustment shall be effective on and after the actual date of the requirement to or agreement to change operations which results from the change in service, but, absent the consent of the Manager, not sooner than the effective date of the change in service. In no event shall any Change in Scope Adjustment be effective prior to the City's approval of an amendment to the Franchise Agreement.
ii. In the event that the City Manager and the Grantee claiming to be affected by the change in scope cannot agree on either the existence, or the effect on demonstrable costs, of a change in service level, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 13–C (1) shall apply.
(6) Change in Law Adjustments
i. Subject to the satisfaction of the requirements of California Constitution Article XIIID, the Fee shall be increased (or decreased) by one hundred percent (100%) of the increase (or decrease) or incremental increase (or incremental decrease), as the case may be, in the demonstrable costs (i.e., on any direct or indirect cost, whether fixed or variable) associated with the change in the manner or nature of conducting Solid Waste Handling services necessitated by a Change in Law. If the requirements of California Constitution Article XIIID have been satisfied, a Change in Law Adjustment shall be effective on and after the actual date of the change in operations which resulted from the Change in Law, but, absent the consent of the Manager, not sooner than the effective date of the Change in Law.

In no event shall any Change in Law Adjustment be effective prior to the City's approval of an amendment to the Franchise Agreement and a successful Proposition 218 hearing allowing the Change in Law Adjustment to be passed on to the City’s residents.
ii. In the event that the City Manager and the Grantee claiming to be affected by the Change in Law cannot agree on either the existence, or the effect on 238
21 demonstrable costs, of a Change in Law, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 13–C (1) shall apply.
(7) Proposition 218 Process
Grantee understands and agrees that any adjustment of the Rates, including Change in Law Adjustments, is contingent on City’s ability to successfully complete the Proposition 218 (California Constitution Article XIIID) process as deemed necessary or advisable by the City. Notwithstanding any other term herein, including other termination, renewal, or dispute resolution requirements, if, at any time, a Rate adjustment cannot be implemented to the City’s residents for any reason, including if an adjustment is successfully opposed by a majority protest through the Proposition 218 process, Grantee and City shall first negotiate in good faith, a reduction of services, or other amendment, equal to the value of the Rate adjustment that cannot be implemented. If City and Grantee are unable to reach an agreement about such adjustment, either party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party of at least 180 days, in which case Grantee and the City shall be entitled to payment of amounts due for performance through the date of termination. City understands and acknowledges its obligation to issue notices and conduct a rate hearing in a timely manner when required to comply with Proposition 218 and that Grantee shall be entitled to an adjustment up to and until such time as the process is completed.

C. Dispute Resolution Regarding Adjustment to Fees
(1) Any dispute regarding any Change in Service Level Adjustment or Change in Law Adjustment provided for in 13 above, which cannot be resolved between the Grantee and City within thirty (30) days of the receipt by City of such documents as City may reasonably request, shall be submitted to a mutually agreed upon expert in the subject matter area of the dispute to resolve the dispute as to either or both: (i) the existence of a Change in Service Level or a Change in Law; and/or (ii) the effect on the Grantee's demonstrable costs of a Change in Service Level or a Change in Law. The decision of the expert shall be binding on the Grantee and the City. The cost of the expert shall be borne equally by the Grantee and the City and the Parties shall pay the expert(s) each party’s respective share on demand by the expert(s).

AGENDA ITEM V-D
July 14, 2025
Prepared by Ramon Lara, City Staff
SUBJECT:

Action: Adoption of Resolution: Approval of Change Orders for the Design/Construction Engineering, Resident Engineer, Materials and Construction of the City of Woodlake Stormwater Phase II Project and Authorize the City Administrator to file the Notice of Completion
BACKGROUND:

The City has a three phase project to pump stormwater to a new basin, instead of pumping the water into Bravo Lake. The first phase of the project has been completed and consists of constructing a new stormwater pump near Bravo Lake. The second phase is fully funded by a 2018 CDBG grant and consists of building a new stormwater line that will move the water from the newly constructed pump location to the proposed stormwater retention basin at Ropes and Mulberry. The third phase of the project consists of designing and constructing the new stormwater retention basin at Ropes and Mulberry.

Since the project began the City and its contractors have had to deal with unforeseen issues related to groundwater within the project trench. These issues have extended the schedule of the project and increased its budget.

DISCUSSION:

The construction of the City of Woodlake Stormwater Phase II Project is now at approximately eighty percent. The project is now moving east through the Woodlake Botanical Garden and will soon connect to the vault at the Bravo Lake Lift Station.

1. Design/Construction Engineering – QK, Inc.
a. Approved Budget - $229,100.00
b. Revised Budget - $371,961.75
i. Additional request were made due to additional work being done because of job site conditions which have extended the duration of the project and added other design elements.

2. Resident Engineer – 4 Creeks
a. Approved Budget - $249,672.00
b. Revised Budget - $394,062.16
i. Budget requests were made due to additional Resident Engineer and Labor Compliance Services on the project. Project duration has been extended due to job site conditions.
258

3. Materials – Old Castle, Rain for Rent United Rentals, etc. a. Approved Budget - $1,366,711.83
b. Revised Budget - $1,402,187.27
i. Due to additional work and materials because of job site conditions which have extended the duration of the project and added tasks (bypass, pumping, etc.).

4. Construction - JT2 Inc.
a. Approved Budget - $2,878,132.00
b. Revised Budget – $4,532,130.98
i. Due to additional work and materials because of job site conditions which have extended the duration of the project and added tasks (manholes, asphalt, trucking, pumping, etc.).

RECOMMENDATIONS:

That Council approves the Change Orders for the construction of the City of Woodlake Stormwater Phase II Project. The project will allow the City to transfer stormwater to its future regional stormwater basin.

FISCAL IMPACT:

All expenditures associated with construction will be covered by CDBG, CDBG PI, SLFRF, Stormwater and General Funds.
