SUBJECT: Agreement with Woodland Police Officers’
Association

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommend the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, implementing a three (3) year agreement (July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026) with the Woodland Police Officers’ Association as described herein. Resolution No. 7963, which was adopted on July 26, 2022, is hereby replaced and superseded in its entirety by this Resolution.

Staff Contact:

Rachael Smith, Human Resources Manager, (530) 661-5809, [email protected] Fiscal Impact:

The current labor agreement for the Woodland Police Officers’ Association (WPOA) covers salary and benefits for roughly 73 full-time equivalent positions at an annual cost of approximately $14 million.

The terms of the proposed new contract are expected to result in a 3.3% increase in total compensation over the one-year contract period. This increase will add approximately $491,998 in total employee compensation costs. The majority of this bargaining group's costs are funded through the City's General Fund, with the balance funded through various special revenue funds and special sales tax Measures F and R.

Background:

The current labor agreement between the City and WPOA expired on June 30, 2025. In anticipation of this, the City began negotiating with WPOA on a successor labor agreement in March 2025, and reached a tentative agreement in late-June. The tentative agreement was presented to and ratified by the WPOA membership, and tonight’s recommended Council action would formally ratify the terms of the new one (1) year agreement with WPOA.

Discussion:

The proposed agreement provides for increases in salaries and the cost of certain other benefits for covered employees while maintaining structural changes to the overall benefit package negotiated in prior agreements. The new contract also provides for ongoing stability in medical insurance rates, while at the same time providing adjustments reflecting anticipated cost of living adjustments and promoting retention and recruitment of employees.

The major terms of the contract are as follows:

Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs)
•July 1, 2025 - 3.0%
•January 1, 2026 – 1.0% if the City’s Bradley Burns sales tax revenues received for fiscal year 2024/2025 are more than $16.6 million
One-Time Payment:

Page 29 ends

During the last pay period of the contract, each employee will receive a one-time, non-persable lump sum payment equal to two percent (2%) of their annual base salary.

Longevity Pay
Effective July 1, 2025:
a. Employees with 10 years completed service will receive an additional two and one-half percent (2.5%) of base pay as a retention incentive
b. Employees with 15 years completed service will receive an additional five percent (5%) of base pay as a retention incentive
c. Employees with 20 years completed service will receive an additional seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of base pay as a retention incentive
d. Pay increases are not cumulative
Medical Insurance
The City’s contribution to medical premiums will remain unchanged for January 2026.

Tier Employee Only Employee + One Employee +
Family
January 1, 2026 $1,046.74 $2,196.80 $2,808.66
Effective January 1, 2025, the Total Benefit shall be $1,046.74 for Employee Only, $2,196.80 for Employee Plus One, and $2,808.66 for Family. These amounts will remain unchanged for January 2026. The annual Total Benefit is as shown in the table above. Employees who purchase medical through the City are not entitled to cash-back.

Conclusion:

Staff recommend the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, implementing a one (1) year agreement (July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026) with the Woodland Police Officers’ Association as described herein.

Resolution No. 7963, which was adopted on July 26, 2022, is hereby replaced and superseded in its entirety by this Resolution.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: July 1, 2025
ITEM #: F.6
SUBJECT: Agreement with Woodland Police Supervisor’s
Association

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommend the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, implementing a one (1) year agreement (July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026) with the Woodland Police Supervisors’ Association as described herein. Resolution No. 7949, which was adopted on July 6, 2022, is hereby replaced and superseded in its entirety by this Resolution.

Staff Contact:

Rachael Smith, Human Resources Manager, (530) 661-5809, [email protected] Fiscal Impact:

The current labor agreement for the WPSA covers salary and benefits for 11 full-time equivalent positions at an annual cost of approximately $2.4 million. The terms of the proposed new contract are expected to result in a 3.4% increase in total compensation over the one-year period. This increase will add approximately $85,889 in total employee compensation costs. This bargaining group's costs are funded through the City's General Fund.

Background:

The current labor agreement between the City and WPSA expired on June 30, 2025. In anticipation of this, the City began negotiating with WPOA on a successor labor agreement in March 2025, and reached a tentative agreement in late-June. The tentative agreement was presented to and ratified by the WPSA membership, and tonight’s recommended Council action would formally ratify the terms of the new one (1) year agreement with WPSA.

Discussion:

The proposed agreement provides for increases in salaries and the cost of certain other benefits for covered employees while maintaining structural changes to the overall benefit package negotiated in prior agreements. The new contract also provides for ongoing stability in medical insurance rates, while at the same time providing adjustments reflecting anticipated cost of living adjustments and promoting retention and recruitment of employees.

The major terms of the contract are as follows:

Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs)
•July 1, 2025 - 3.0%
•January 1, 2026 – 1.0% if the City’s Bradley Burns sales tax revenues received for fiscal year 2024/2025 are more than $16.6 million
One-Time Payment:

During the last pay period of the contract, each employee will receive a one-time, non-persable lump sum payment equal to two percent (2%) of their annual base salary.

Page 69 ends

Longevity Pay
Effective July 1, 2025:
a. Employees with 10 years completed service will receive an additional two and one-half percent (2.5%) of base pay as a retention incentive
b. Employees with 15 years completed service will receive an additional five percent (5%) of base pay as a retention incentive
c. Employees with 20 years completed service will receive an additional seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of base pay as a retention incentive
d. Pay increases are not cumulative
POST Certificates:

Employees in the class of Police Records Supervisor will receive an additional five percent (5%) of base pay for holding and maintaining a valid POST Records Supervisor Certificate.

Medical Premiums
The City’s contribution to medical premiums will remain unchanged for January 2026.

Tier Employee Only Employee + One Employee +
Family
January 1, 2026 $1,025.49 $2,050.95 $2,666.24
Conclusion:

Staff recommend the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, implementing a one (1) year agreement (July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026) with the Woodland Police Supervisor's Association as described herein.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: July 1, 2025
ITEM #: F.9
SUBJECT: Prudler Community Facilities District Annual Levy and Collection for Fiscal Year 2025/26

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommend the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, ordering the annual levy and collection of the assessment within the Prudler Community Facilities District for Fiscal Year 2025/2026.

Staff Contact:

Karie Farnham, Financial Services Manager, (530) 661-5846, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26 assessment is calculated to be $819.36 for each single family home. If approved, the proposed assessment for the District would generate $141,167 in revenue. The Prudler Community Facilities District (CFD) assessment will generate sufficient revenue to pay for operational expenditures required to maintain the approved amenities within the District.

Background:

The City Council previously undertook proceedings under and pursuant to the terms and provisions of the “Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982” of the Government Code of the State of California, to form Community Facilities District No. 2022-01 (Prudler Services), to authorize the levy of special taxes upon land within the District to finance the cost of maintenance of public facilities including a neighborhood park, landscaping, lighting, sound walls, and a traffic signal, and incidental expenses within the boundaries of the District.

The City Council, by Ordinance No. 1680, has authorized the levy of a special tax to pay for costs and expenses related to the Prudler CFD.

The Prudler CFD is located in the southeast portion of the City, generally north of Sports Park Drive, south of County Fair Mall, and east of East Street. The District was formed in 2022 and FY2023/24 was the first year properties within the District were assessed.

Discussion:

Each year the City prepares an operating budget to calculate the assessment annually levied on each parcel. This budget determines what maintenance operations are performed for the fiscal year and directs the County Assessor on what to levy each parcel.

This particular CFD requires that the City Council adopt an ordinance to order and annul the levy and collection of assessment. This is typically accomplished at one Council meeting and does not require a public hearing.

Conclusion:

Staff recommend the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, ordering the annual levy and collection of the assessment within the Prudler Community Facilities District for Fiscal Year 2025/2026.

ITEM #: F.10
SUBJECT: Waiver of Second Reading and Adoption of an
Ordinance Revising Sections Within Chapter 8.20,
“Fire Prevention and Emergency Services,” to Title 8
of the Woodland Municipal Code

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommend the City Council waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. _____, revising sections within Chapter 8.20, “Fire Prevention and Emergency Services,” to Title 8 of the Woodland Municipal Code.

Staff Contact:

Matt Flint, Fire Marshal, (530) 661-5860, [email protected]

Background:

The requirement in Section 901.6.4 mandates that all residential properties with an NFPA 13D or California Residential Code-compliant sprinkler system be inspected prior to escrow closing. The inspection may be performed by the Fire Department, a licensed C-16 contractor, or a Type 1 Concern. However, this local mandate has become outdated for the following reasons:
• Redundancy with State Law: State building and fire codes already govern the design, installation, maintenance, and inspection of fire sprinkler systems. Additional resale inspections at the local level are no longer necessary. • Inconsistent Enforcement: The City does not actively track residential sales in real time, nor does it require notification when a property is entering escrow. This makes the ordinance difficult to enforce uniformly.
• Legal and Liability Exposure: The City could face liability if a resale occurs without the required inspection and a subsequent system failure is tied back to the code requirement. By maintaining an inspection trigger without a consistent enforcement mechanism, the City opens itself to unnecessary risk.
• Burden on Property Owners and Real Estate Transactions: The resale inspection requirement can delay closings, increase costs for homeowners, and create confusion among realtors, especially if one-off inspections are required by the Fire Department.

Discussion:

The ordinance served a valuable purpose when it was first adopted. However, industry practices, building codes, and regulatory authority have evolved. Today, fire sprinkler system integrity is best maintained through routine maintenance by qualified contractors—not by adding regulatory checkpoints during property sales. Removing this section would align with modern code practice and eliminate a potentially problematic administrative burden. This change would reduce administrative demands on the Fire Department and eliminate future legal exposure tied to missed resale inspections.

Conclusion:

Staff recommend the City Council waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. _____, revising sections within Chapter 8.20, “Fire Prevention and Emergency Services,” to Title 8 of the

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: July 1, 2025
ITEM #: F.11
SUBJECT: Award Contracts to West Coast Arborists, Inc. for Tree Pruning and Maintenance Services and Stump
Grinding Services

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommend the City Council approve Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to 1) Execute a two-year tree pruning and maintenance services agreement with West Coast Arborists, Inc. in the amount not-to-exceed $648,783 per year for July 1, 2025 to October 31, 2027 with the option to extend the agreement for up to three additional one-year terms; and 2) Execute a two-year maintenance service agreement for stump grinding services with West Coast Arborists, Inc. for July 1, 2025 to October 31, 2027 in the amount not-to-exceed $15,000 per year.

Staff Contact:

Jenna Moncrief, Management Analyst, (530) 661-2023, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

The amount of $648,783 for tree pruning and maintenance per year, and the amount of $15,000 for stump grinding services per year will be funded by the general fund, Measure F, and various lighting and landscape districts. This funding is included in the approved FY26 budget. The pruning and maintenance services contract includes a contingency for up to $20,000 per year. The contingency funding will be available for unanticipated maintenance services. The total compensation, between the two contracts, for FY26 and for FY27 shall not exceed $663,783 per year.

The tree pruning and maintenance agreement includes an option to extend for three additional one- year terms. For each additional year, if applicable, the contract will include a 4% contract increase.

Background:

Urban forests provide a wide range of community benefits, including energy savings, storm water retention, air quality improvements, carbon sequestration, increased property value, and more. The City’s 2018 Urban Forest Resource Analysis performed by Davey Resource Group valued the cumulative benefits of public trees at nearly $1.7 million. Proper tree care, like cyclical pruning, will protect the City’s investment in its over 18,000 public trees and ensure that the urban forest continues to add value to our community for years to come.

Cyclical tree pruning is a standard maintenance procedure that is performed by most agencies across the country in an effort to promote a healthy urban forest and mitigate potential liability. The City of Woodland Climate Action Plan, approved by Council in May 2017, identifies cyclical pruning as a strategy to maintain existing trees and, thus, accomplish goals in the Urban Forest and Open Space focus area (Strategy UF-3). In addition, the Urban Forest Master Plan, approved by Council in March of 2019 supports the ongoing, regular maintenance of the City’s Urban Forest. Specifically, Goal #5 is that all public trees should be pruned and maintained on a 7-year cycle depending on funding and resources.

Implementing a 7-year maintenance cycle, in addition to reactive maintenance, cannot be completely accomplished by in-house staff. The City currently has less than three approved full-time positions in

Page 126 ends

the Urban Forestry division. With over 18,000 City trees to maintain and limited Urban Forestry staff, it is necessary to contract out most of the tree pruning and maintenance services.

Discussion:

Staff is requesting approval of two maintenance service agreements with West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA). The first agreement, for tree pruning and maintenance services, would have a term starting July 1, 2025 to October 31, 2027 with the option to extend for up to three additional one-year terms.

The second agreement, for stump grinding services, would be from July 1, 2025 to October 31, 2027.

WCA is a professional tree maintenance company that possesses the means and a strong historical working knowledge of our City’s urban forest, to fulfill tree care services. WCA has a well-established working relationship with the City of Woodland, as well as many other local agencies in our area, including the City of Sacramento, West Sacramento, Roseville, Elk Grove, and Davis. This contract will allow the City to stay up-to-date on the 7-year pruning cycle.

Staff propose the City Council approve these professional service agreements by “piggy-backing” off of the City of Sacramento’s procurement process as was done in previous fiscal years. City of Woodland Municipal Code section 3.32.140(c) provides that the City does not have to perform its own competitive bid procedure for non-public projects in certain circumstances, including when a competitive bid procedure has been conducted by another public agency (including another local agency), and the price to the City is equal to or better than the price to the other public agency. The City’s Code also provides that landscape maintenance projects are considered non-public projects.

The City of Sacramento issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for tree pruning services. The City of Sacramento received eight proposals, which were evaluated based on: (1) capabilities, qualifications, and experience; (2) references; and (3) the relative value offered by competitive pricing. The City of Sacramento determined that WCA was the most qualified contractor to provide tree maintenance services. The City of Sacramento City Council awarded a two-year non-professional services agreement, with options to extend to for three additional one-year terms, to WCA on June 24, 2025, in the amount of, not to exceed $4 million for the first two years, and not-to-exceed $10 million overall.

The City of Sacramento also issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for stump grinding services. The City of Sacramento received five proposals, which were evaluated based on: (1) capabilities, qualifications, and experience; (2) references; and (3) the relative value offered by competitive pricing. The City of Sacramento determined that WCA was the most qualified contractor to provide stump grinding services. The City of Sacramento City Council awarded a two-year non-professional services agreement to WCA on June 24, 2025 for the amount not to exceed $500,000.

The City of Woodland has less extensive maintenance needs than the City of Sacramento but can use the economy-of-scale pricing that Sacramento received due to its large urban forest. City staff recommend the City enter the two maintenance service contracts as detailed above.

Another benefit associated with this contract is the requirement to provide detailed electronic documentation of all maintenance performed on our trees. This information can then be easily uploaded to the Maintenance Management Software (MMS) and used for tracking maintenance, as well as identifying immediate and potential long-term issues.

Conclusion:

Staff recommend the City Council approve Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to 1) Execute a two-year tree pruning and maintenance services agreement with West Coast Arborists, Inc. in the amount not-to-exceed $648,783 per year for July 1, 2025 to October 31, 2027 with the option to extend the agreement for up to three additional one-year terms; and 2) Execute a two-year

11.2.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall defend (with counsel of City’s choosing), indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees, volunteers, and agents free and harmless from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, liability, loss, damage or injury of any kind, in law or equity, to property or persons, including wrongful death, in any manner arising out of, pertaining to, or incident to any acts, errors or omissions, or willful misconduct of Contractor, its officials, officers, employees, subcontractors, Contractors or agents in connection with the performance of the Contractor’s services, the Project or this Agreement, including without limitation the payment of all damages, expert witness fees and attorney’s fees and other related costs and expenses.
