AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: August 20, 2024
ITEM #: H.10
SUBJECT: Fire Department Semi-Annual Status Report for the Period of January 1, 2024-June 30, 2024
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council accept the Fire Department Semi-Annual Status Report for January 2024 through June 2024.
Staff Contact:
Eric Zane, Fire Chief (530) 661-5861, [email protected]
Background:
The Fire Department Semi-Annual Status Report includes a summary of all activity within the Department. In lieu of providing comprehensive monthly or quarterly status reports to the City Council, the City Council now receives status reports on a semi-annual basis.
Discussion:
From January 1st to June 30th, 2024, the Woodland Fire Department navigated a dynamic and demanding half-year, marked by significant advancements and strategic initiatives across its three primary divisions: Administrative, Operations, and Community Risk Reduction.
Administrative Division
The Administrative Division has been at the forefront of several key developments. The Department welcomed a new Fire Marshal, whose expertise greatly enhanced the Community Risk Reduction Division. Alongside this new addition, the Department promoted a Captain and an Engineer, acknowledging their exceptional service and leadership. Additionally, two firefighter recruits were hired and now actively serve the community, bolstering the Department’s capacity to effectively respond to emergencies. With these hires, the Department currently has no vacancies for the first time in several years.
A significant upgrade came with the transition to a new records management and staffing system.
While this process is ongoing, the end goal is to create a more efficient system for staffing and report writing. This will ultimately streamline operations and improve efficiencies. Complementing this upgrade, the Department purchased a tethered drone funded by a grant. This drone, equipped with advanced infrared technology, offers continuous aerial surveillance without the need for a human operator, due to its tethered power source.
The Administrative Division also played a critical role in negotiating the new ambulance service contract and overseeing the FEMA reimbursement process for previous winter storms. A notable achievement was the completion of a station location analysis presented to the City Council by Chief Zane. The analysis has since led to several station tours throughout the region, reviewing design considerations and potential architects.
The Division continued its work on evaluating the best replacement radio system for Citywide public safety use. The rewriting of the Citywide host ordinance, designed to further curb illegal firework activity, represents a proactive approach to community safety. The transition from funding the County Joint Emergency Management System (JEMS) to a contract with a third-party emergency
management consultant has been a move to enhance our Citywide emergency management capabilities.
The Division also played a role in regional and countywide initiatives, hosting the regional company officers’ assessment center and assisting with the implementation of Genesys, an alert and warning system for emergency notifications and evacuations. The new addition of Tablet Command improved countywide fire service incident and apparatus management, reflecting the department’s commitment to integrating advanced technology into its operations.
Operations Division
In the first half of 2024, the Woodland Fire Department's Operations Division was characterized by a commitment to many responsibilities, extending beyond emergency response to include a range of collateral assignments essential to maintaining the Department's high operational standards.
Personnel within the Operations Division took on diverse roles, demonstrating their versatility and dedication. These collateral assignments include managing personal protective equipment (PPE), conducting repairs on self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), overseeing training programs, and handling fleet management. In addition to these, the team has been engaged in facility maintenance, power tool repair and replacement, hose management, and specialty operations. Emergency medical services, wellness initiatives, public relations, ladder testing and repair, and map management are also critical aspects of their responsibilities.
The depth of these assignments underscores the Department's commitment to not only responding effectively to emergencies but also ensuring that all aspects of fire and rescue operations are well maintained and managed. This approach is vital for maintaining operational readiness and providing comprehensive emergency services for the community.
The Operations Division has been actively involved in significant projects and training efforts.
Notably, personnel contributed to the construction of new training props at Station 3. These props are designed to enhance training exercises, providing realistic scenarios that better prepare firefighters for actual emergency situations.
The Department also hosted several important training events, including a major symposium sponsored by the California State Firefighters Association. This symposium brought together fire service professionals from across the state, offering a platform for knowledge exchange, professional development, and the latest updates in fire safety and emergency response.
These efforts reflect the Operations Division’s dedication to maintaining high standards of performance and ensuring that all aspects of fire service operations are continuously improved. By balancing essential duties with ongoing training and professional development, the personnel within this Division play a crucial role in the Woodland Fire Department's ability to effectively serve and protect the community.
Community Risk Reduction Division
The Community Risk Reduction (CRR) Division of the Woodland Fire Department has experienced a notably busy and productive first half of 2024, driven by significant developments and an increased workload. The addition of a new Fire Marshal has been instrumental in steering the Division through a period of heightened activity and efficiency improvements.
One of the major accomplishments has been the consolidation of plan reviews in-house. This move has significantly streamlined processes, enhancing the efficiency of services provided to customers and allowing for quicker turnaround times on plan reviews. This change is particularly impactful given
the growing volume of construction in the City.
The Division's workload has been further intensified by a surge in construction activity, including numerous residential developments and several new hotels. Each of these projects requires thorough construction inspections to ensure compliance with fire safety codes and regulations. The CRR Division diligently managed this increased demand, maintaining high standards of safety and regulatory adherence, while collaborating with our developers and business owners.
Additionally, the CRR Division has taken on the responsibility for reviewing and inspecting Energy Storage Systems, such as Tesla Walls. These systems, which are increasingly common, require expedited review processes due to state regulations mandating a 48-hour turnaround. The Division has successfully managed this critical task, ensuring that these installations meet all necessary safety requirements in a timely manner.
A noteworthy collaboration involved working closely with the County Fair Mall to facilitate a safe and orderly closure. This effort required careful planning and coordination to ensure that safety standards were upheld throughout the process, reflecting the Division's commitment to proactive risk management and community safety.
Overall, the first six months of 2024 have highlighted the CRR Division's crucial role in enhancing public safety and improving service delivery. The new Fire Marshal's leadership, coupled with the Division's efficient handling of plan reviews, inspections, and regulatory compliance, underscores a period of significant achievement and progress for the Woodland Fire Department.
In summary, the first half of 2024 has been a period of growth and transformation for the Woodland Fire Department. The Department reinforced its dedication to protecting and serving the community through many advancements in administrative processes, operational enhancements, and community engagement. The ongoing efforts and initiatives set the stage for continued progress and innovation in the months ahead. The attached infographics highlight some of the Department's key performance metrics. The implementation of a new records management program began in May 2024 and is ongoing, resulting in certain data that can only be reported from January through April.

AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: August 20, 2024
ITEM #: H.12
SUBJECT: Public Works Semi-Annual Status Report
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council receive a presentation and accept the Public Works Semi-Annual Status Report for the period of January 2024 through June 2024.
Staff Contact:
Craig Locke, Public Works Director, 530-661-5899, [email protected]
Background:
This Semi-Annual report covers the period from January 2024 through June 2024. The report presents a summary of Service Requests and Work Orders received, and also contains a narrative description of major work performed and notable department highlights.
Discussion:
The Public Works Department has accomplished a variety of new endeavors over the last 6 months.
On the first of January 2024, Public Works (PW) went live with an innovative new backflow testing program to better serve the business community in Woodland. Where previously annual backflow testing was performed by contractors working for customers, backflow devices are now tested by City staff. This results in a more efficient and streamlined process, and less expense for the customer.
Responding to the storms in February required numerous work hours and teamwork. Every division in PW pitched in on storm response and made an antiquated collection system function to the best of its abilities.
Following the rains, the collections division took on replacing some of the City’s covered gutters. This is the first time these have been overhauled since their initial installation over 70 years ago.
Staff also undertook the task of relocating one of the portable generators staging area to a more accessible location at the Municipal Service Center (MSC). In recent years, PW has acquired equipment to become more efficient, which requires yard space. Moving the generator staging area to a more accessible location in front of the MSC frees up a double space in the yard and allows for more rapid deployment. To accomplish this in house required the efforts of all divisions in PW and the assistance of Urban Forestry.
Crews had a break from their usual duties in May for Public Works Week, which is historically celebrated by a lunch for all staff. This year the administrative staff spent some time assembling bags of goodies with candy, electrolyte drinks, sunscreen, can coolers and other helpful items donated by local businesses.
The Department also started a program called ‘Lunch with the Director’. This takes staff from different divisions and brings them together for lunch with the Director and another Division Head. Not only does this improve communication between line staff and management, it works to help staff develop relationships across divisions.
Another innovation is the new vehicle telemetry system, installed by Fleet Maintenance this Spring.
Samsara units were installed in most city vehicles, and they provide information directly from the vehicle’s computer via the OBDII port. As a result, maintenance is performed based on run time and error codes rather than mileage, a somewhat faulty barometer for PW and Public Safety vehicles.
Fleet Maintenance also instituted a bulk purchasing program of frequently replaced parts which reduces administrative time, streamlines repairs, and saves money.
One project that required the efforts of all of PW and Urban Forestry and Parks was reorganizing the MSC yard to accommodate a new electric vehicle charging location. California law requires that municipalities begin transitioning towards an electric fleet. While Woodland has been ahead of the State mandagtes and anticipates purchasing four additional electric Ford Lightning pickups this year.
The first phase to be completed by year’s end will see the installation of 6 chargers dedicated for fleet use, with expansion available to accommodate up to 20 chargers.
City crews also installed the infrastructure for a charging site at the Woodland Hotel parking lot. By doing this work in-house, the City was able to save thousands of dollars on the installation. Many departments within PW contributed - including water, streets, signs and markings and electrical. The charging site is scheduled to be completed this Fall pending PG&E's final installation and power connection.
After several years of turnover at the Management Analyst position, an internal candidate was promoted to fill this critical position. In her short time in the role, Courtney Morgan has demonstrated her capability, willingness, and enthusiasm for the position. Under her leadership, the admin staff positions in PW are now fully filled.
One of Courtney’s first accomplishments was finding a new uniform provider. The previous provider did not adequately rotate garments to ensure a safe level of reflectivity, and was unable to adequately serve our female staff. The new vendor is much more responsive, and comes highly recommended by other municipalities in the region.
One final program of note was selecting a Civic Fellow this summer. Staff determined the door hangers used for Utility and Right-of-Way projects could provide two-way communication rather than just informing the public of upcoming work. The door hanger, developed by the Civic Fellow over the summer will include a QR code that links to a survey on the City website. This will include questions about how the crews did, how courteous they were and what the Department could do better. PW hopes this program will help convey to the public our desire to continue to strive to provide the best service possible.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive a presentation and accept the Public Works Semi- Annual Status Report for the period of January 2024 through June 2024.

By maintaining a healthy stock of parts, Fleet actively schedules vehicles to be serviced and detects issues before they become problems.
Service Requests – Every time a request for
Public Works services is made by phone call,
written request, emailed request, or an actual
one-on-one request to a PW employee, a
‘Service Request’ is generated. This builds a
computerized record of all requests made.
Work Orders – A ‘Work Order’ is created each
time a work crew or individual is assigned a task
as a result of either service requests, pre-planned
maintenance projects, or by other situations as
they arise. This produces a database of work
accomplished and the time and materials it took
to do the work.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: August 20, 2024
ITEM #: H.13
SUBJECT: Conflict of Interest Code Amendment Pursuant to the Political Reform Act of 1974
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, approving and adopting the amended Conflict of Interest Code pursuant to the Political Reform Act of 1974.
Staff Contact:
Ana B. Gonzalez, City Clerk - (530) 661-5806, [email protected]
Background:
Pursuant to the Political Reform Act (the “Act”), the City Council directed staff to conduct a review of the City’s Conflict of Interest Code (“Code”) to determine if a change in the Code was necessary, to revise the Code as necessary based upon such review and submit the amended Code to the City Council for adoption and approval, in accordance with Section 87303 of the Act.
During the review process, staff found that updates and amendments to the City’s Conflict of Interest Code are necessary. A redlined version of the proposed amended Code is attached.
Discussion:
The Political Reform Act of 1974, Government Code Section 81000 et seq. (the “Act”), requires all public agencies to adopt and maintain a Conflict of Interest Code. The Act further requires that agencies regularly review and update their conflict of interest codes as necessary as directed by the code-reviewing body or when change is necessitated by changed circumstances (Sections 87306 and 87306.5). The City Council is the City’s code-reviewing body. As the code-reviewing body, the City Council directed that the Code be reviewed and, if a change in the Code was necessary, that a revised Code be prepared and submitted to the City Council for adoption and approval. During this review, staff found that amendments to the Code are necessary.
Attached is a (redlined) version of the proposed amended Code. The proposed revisions are based on the establishment and recognition of new positions that must be designated, the revision of titles of existing positions, the deletion of titles that have been abolished, the revision of disclosure categories, revision of the assignment of disclosure categories based on the duties of various positions, the incorporation of FPPC Reg. 18730 as the provisions of the Code (known as FPPC Standard), and clarifying and declaring of positions to file disclosure statements under Section 87200 of the Act.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: August 20, 2024
ITEM #: H.14
SUBJECT: Springlake Fire Protection District Contract
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to execute the contract between the City of Woodland and the Springlake Fire Protection District for continued emergency response and prevention activities in Service Area A (Woodland Service Area) and administrative oversight for the entire District.
Staff Contact:
Eric Zane, Fire Chief- (530) 661-5861, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
The Springlake Fire Protection District is responsible for paying the City of Woodland the ad valorem property tax and associated Proposition 218 assessment for all real properties within the Service Area "A" portion of the District. In Fiscal Year 2023/24, the District paid the City of Woodland a total of $303,816.50.
Background:
The Springlake Fire Protection District covers the unincorporated areas surrounding Woodland, extending south to the City of Davis and a portion of the UC Davis Campus. Established in 1942, the District operated independently until 1982 when the City of Woodland assumed responsibility, taking ownership of all capital assets in exchange for contractual fire protection services.
In 1985, Service Area “B” was established, leading to a contract with the Davis Fire Department to provide services in the areas south of County Road 29.
The most recent contract was a 20-year contract that was signed in 2004.
Currently, the District serves over 6500 residents and approximately 713 residential and 10 commercial properties. In 2023, the Woodland Fire Department responded to 326 calls for service in the Woodland portion of the District.
The contract stipulates that the City of Woodland Fire Chief will act as Fire Chief for the District, while the City of Woodland Management Analyst will act as the Board Clerk.
Discussion:
This agenda item presents a successor agreement to the 2004-2024 contract, drafted and approved by the Springlake Fire Protection District Board of Commissioners at the June 2024 meeting. The Springlake Fire Protecting District agreement with the Cities of Woodland and Davis is recognized by the Yolo Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) as a model for all contract-for-service Districts. As a result, the agreement has been adjusted to incorporate the following provisions:
Fee Schedule Utilization: Each city will use its approved fee schedule for inspections, plan reviews, and emergency responses in cases of negligence. The fee schedule will be reviewed and approved annually by the District Board.
• Administrative Services Charge: The City of Woodland will charge the District $1,000 per month for administrative services, an increase from the previous rate of $1,000 per quarter.
Additionally, the Woodland Fire Department may request further adjustments if the workload or costs of administrative services increase beyond the agreed-upon amount.
• Reserve for Prop 218 Study: The District will establish a reserve fund to cover the future costs associated with a Proposition 218 engineers' study. Currently, the District operates under a Prop 218 supplemental tax approved in 1997. Yolo County has committed to supporting the Fire Districts with one-time funding for the costs of an updated Prop 218 study. Springlake Fire Protection District study is scheduled for completion in 2025. The reserve fund will be used for future Prop 218 processes that may be required.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to execute the contract between the City of Woodland and the Springlake Fire Protection District for continued emergency response and prevention activities in Service Area A (Woodland Service Area) and administrative oversight for the entire District.

ITEM #: H.15
SUBJECT: Fire Apparatus Maintenance Contracts
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Golden State Emergency Vehicle Services, Inc for the maintenance and repair of fire apparatus; Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Riverview International Trucks, LLC for the maintenance and repair of fire apparatus; and Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with United Fleet Maintenance for the maintenance and repair of fire apparatus
Staff Contact:
Eric Zane, Fire Chief- (530) 661-5861, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
The cost of the proposed service contracts are as follows:
• $200,000- Golden State Emergency Vehicle Services, Inc. • $100,000- Riverview International Trucks, LLC
• $100,000- United Fleet Maintenance
Funding for these contracts is provided in the Vehicle Maintenance Fund (Fund 2010) as part of the annual budget appropriation, plus an additional $50,000 that was carried over from FY2023-24.
All contracts are for Fiscal Year 2024-25, with the option to extend twice for additional one-year terms (maximum total contract length- 3 years) with written approval from both parties. For each additional year, if applicable, the contract will include a 3% contract increase to account for increased parts and labor costs.
Background:
The Fire Department primarily utilizes Golden State Emergency Vehicle Services, Inc., Riverview International Trucks, LLC, and United Fleet Maintenance for the maintenance and repair of apparatus. Pierce Manufacturing, the builder of all the Fire Department’s frontline apparatus, has limited Pierce-approved and certified repair facilities on the West Coast. The closest facility is Golden State Emergency Vehicle Services, Inc. in Sacramento. Because of this, all Pierce frontline apparatus are sent to Golden State Emergency Vehicle Services, Inc. under the sole source option allowed under the City’s purchasing ordinance.
Discussion:
The Fire Department operates and maintains several reserve or backup apparatus manufactured by other companies. Over the last year, due to extended lead time for parts and supplies, Golden State has become inundated, leading to a decrease in availability for repairs and maintenance. The Department has worked with Riverview International Trucks, LLC and United Fleet Maintenance for non-Pierce manufactured apparatus or repairs that do not require a Pierce-certified repair facility.
Through the Department's use of various vendors, the appropriate number of proposals were received to satisfy the informal bid process. Riverview International Trucks, LLC has continually been found to offer competitive rates, prompt customer service, and short turnaround times, making them
a preferred vendor. United Fleet Maintenance is local to Woodland, allowing for quick response for onsite and emergency repairs while offering competitive rates, also making them a preferred vendor.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Golden State Emergency Vehicle Services, Inc for the maintenance and repair of fire apparatus; Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Riverview International Trucks, LLC for the maintenance and repair of fire apparatus; and Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with United Fleet Maintenance for the maintenance and repair of fire apparatus

Background:
The City of Woodland 2024 Civic Fellowship Program was the second year of the City's formal, paid program to engage adults early in their professional career with public service opportunities. One aspect of the City Council's goals is prioritizing local recruitment for public service jobs across all sectors. The City's Equity Action Plan identified the establishment of a Civic Fellowship Program as a strategic action to help further this goal. The City Manager's Office of Equity, Engagement, Economy, and Environment led this initiative with support from all City departments.
Discussion:
During the 2024 Civic Fellowship Program, eight fellows completed important projects across the City and participated in weekly program-wide activities for eight weeks. In Spring 2024, staff completed recruitment, hiring, and onboarding, and the program ran from June 17 to August 9.
Recruitment & Hiring
In Spring 2024, staff opened applications for eight fellow positions. Staff communicated with several community workforce and educational institutions to reach a diverse population of potential candidates. The program received 140 applications.
Staff worked with Human Resources (HR) to facilitate application review, interviews, hiring, and onboarding. Staff coordinated with each department to create a scoring rubric tailored to each fellow position and scored applications accordingly. 58 applicants were invited to interview with each department they qualified for. Department leads selected a top candidate and HR completed the hiring and onboarding process.

• Eliana Villanueva, Outreach Coordinator, Public Works: Eliana developed a survey for customer outreach following fieldwork by public works staff.
Weekly activities introduced fellows to different aspects of local government and advanced their professional development skills. Staff coordinated with various departments and local partners to facilitate the activities, which included: weekly lunches with department heads, a panel discussion with local elected officials, visits to local nonprofits, community programs, and community assets, and a professional development workshop led by YoloWorks!.
Next Steps
Staff will review results from program evaluations completed by both the fellows and department leads. Staff will begin preparing for the 2025 Civic Fellowship Program in December 2025.

Staff recommends that the City Council receive a presentation on the Civic Fellowship Program.
