Questions CITYOF a M. N FARMERSVILLE, City Council Staff Report 8A TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Jay Brock, Interim City Manager DATE: March 10, 2025 SUBJECT: Adopting Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual. Background: Title 23 Code of Federal Regulations Part 172 (23 CFR 172) allows Caltrans Division of Local Assistance (DLA) to prescribe the policies and procedures for engineering and design related services, also known as Architectural and Engineering (A&E). Local Public Agencies (LPAs) are responsible for adopting the written policies and procedures prescribed by the awarding State Transportation Agency (STA). FHWA's expectation is to achieve a 100% compliance rate in this area. Past process review findings by DLA showed a significant lack of, or incomplete A&E procurement policies and procedures as one of the most common findings. A non-compliance of this matter can result in a loss of funds and/or other sanctions. POLICY DLA's policies and procedures for A&E presently reside in Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) Chapter 10 Consultant Selection (Section 10.1: Federally Funded A&E Contracts). LPAS accept this responsibility when receiving federal funds from DLA, and by signing the Master Agreement for ederal-Aid Projects. DLA requires that local agencies adopt LAPM Chapter 10. Financial Impact: If DLA's policies & procedures are not adopted, then the Independent Office of Audits and Investigations (IOAI) will likely continue to disclose this audit finding. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in loss of funds as well as jeopardizing future opportunities to receive federal and state funds.

City Council Staff Report 8C TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Jay Brock, Interim City Manager DATE: March 10, 2025 SUBJECT: Property Acquisition- 896 FarmersVille Blvd. Recommend Action: Staff recommends that the City Council review the property proposed purchase and decide if they want to continue with the purchase of the property. Background: The previous City Manager was in the process of executing a purchase agreement for the acquisition of the property at 896 Farmersville Blvd. The subject property consists of 9,500 square feet and has been split from a larger parcel measuring 14,446 square feet. The agreed purchase price for the property is $85,000. Discussion: The paperwork will need to be signed again, as the previous City Manager who originally signed the documents is no longer employed by the City. To ensure that all records are properly authorized and up to date, a current City official with the appropriate authority must review and sign the paperwork. 8 E I - - - - S A lagnolia Ave 5 A 8 CITY Of R 711 FARMERSVILLE 1B48 INCOAPORH - City Council Staff Report 8D TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Steven Thompson, Director of Public Works DATE: March 10, 2025 SUBJECT: Wastewater Treatment Plant Maintenance Contract RECOMMENDED ACTION: It is recommended that the City Council approve the funding for the Farmersville Wastewater Treatment Plant Turbo Blowers Maintenance contract. BACKGROUND and DISCUSSION: The City of Farmersville has the need to implement a mandatory annual servicing schedule for the wastewater turbines operated by Fammersvlesmunicpal wastewater, treatment facilities. Wastewater turbines are essential components of our city's infrastructure, responsible for processing and treating sewage to protect public health and the environment. However, like any mechanical system, these turbines are subject to wear and tear from constant operation, exposure to corrosive materials, and the buildup of debris. Without regular maintenance, their performance can degrade, leading to inefficiencies, unexpected breakdowns, and costly emergency repairs. The annual budget to cover the costs of servicing is estimated at (1-Year) $14,495 + Tax or (3-Year) $13,135 + Tax or (5-Year) $12,405 This could be offset by long-term savings from reduced repair costs. The wastewater treatment system is a cornerstone of Farmersville's infrastructure, and its reliability depends on the consistent performance of its turbines. By committing to annual servicing, the city can safeguard public health, protect our environment, and manage resources more effectively. I urge you to consider this proposal and would be happy to discuss it further or provide additional data to support its implementation. eures March 26th, 2024 Manuel Lopez Farmersville WWTP 1460 S Virginia Farmersville, CA 93223 mlopez@centralcalwalcalwaterworks.com Reference: 18-0012 - Farmersville, CA/ / AM-2024-3037A Subject: Proposal for an Extended Preventive Routine Maintenance (EPRM) Plan Equipment covered: 4x NX075 Turbo Blowers Dear Mr. Lopez, We are pleased to provide you with our proposal for the Extended Preventive Routine Maintenance for our products in your Wastewater Treatment Plant.
