[2:36] I hang it on not here. Flo reveta, fred's president,

[3:00] stephanie, mexico, vendor chair,
[3:05] stephen norid logistics chair, samantha jackson, board director,
[3:11] and cesar rol, board director.
[3:17] the city of wasco proudly presents a certificate to the wasco rods festival committee and honor for their dedication and
[3:26] creativity and organizing a memorable festival under the theme all roads lead home.
[3:35] their efforts brought joy, unity, and pride to the community.
[3:41] with sincere appreciation, we celebrate you for making wasco bloom brighter than ever,
[3:48] honored on september 16, 2025. [applause] I express
[3:58] my gratitude
[4:02] it takes a lot, and it's just unseen things that none of us will know,
[4:08] but you guys as a committee are the ones that take care of it and it shows when the festival is really coming about. Thank you guys.
[4:17] >> what an amazing job you guys did this year. My dad came into town for the rose festival this year and I'm 47,
[4:26] so he hasn't been a rose festival since 1978 when he went to go get mill.
[4:34] [laughter] but he was just he was amazed. He could not believe how many people were out there,
[4:40] how big the parade was, the car show the dinner out at the lodge,
[4:46] just the whole weekend of events. He was amazed that our little town could do that.
[4:51] you guys are every year, it's just getting better and better,
[4:55] and I look forward to what next year brings, so thank you guys.
[5:00] >> definitely, you guys have brought back the wasco rose parade back.
[5:04] better for our community. At one point, I remember it was changed to
[5:10] october and they said for better weather and for better attendance,
[5:15] but you guys brought it back to its old traditional date one weekend before labor day,
[5:22] and you guys did a tremendous job and you guys just show what a community,
[5:28] a group of people that is willing to work hard and organize it.
[5:32] for the benefit of our community I think it brought a community together.
[5:36] not only that, but it showcases or history or tradition and our values, so great job,
[5:42] ladies. Thank
[6:03] you [applause]. >> [background] is a button on. There we go.
[6:16] >> you know we always laugh about how after not having a festival
[6:21] for covid that we did it in three weeks that first year.
[6:28] if it wasn't for those three weeks, then what all of this is now wouldn't have happened.
[6:35] we started somewhere and a co-worker said to me today,
[6:41] it reminded us of how rose festivals were years decades ago.
[6:49] I realized like, we don't get to see all that because some of us are at the parade,
[6:56] some of us are organizing at the park. None of us get to see everything,
[7:01] and so hearing from the community your perspective
[7:06] and from our community leaders is very appreciative because we don't get to see all those things.
[7:13] but nothing happens without volunteers and sponsors and vendors and the community,
[7:22] without everybody coming out and supporting and saying yes when we
[7:27] reach out and all the things and big cities have advantages.
[7:33] but there's nothing like a small town coming together to make something like this happen.
[7:37] we're just grateful to be a part of it, and every one of us does it because we love wasco.
[7:43] >> I just want to say that it's my first year on the committee,
[7:49] but this year with the help of the orange chart foundation, which is a local nonprofit,
[7:55] we actually are our own 5013c now as well.
[8:05] shout out to these ladies. Come on.
[8:11] they went out for sponsorships around the community, talked to wasco business owners,
[8:17] and the amount of guesses that they
[8:21] got this year was because of their face to face contact. I just want to give a shout out to them
[8:27] because without the funding from the local businesses, we couldn't have done what we did this year.
[8:33] we look forward to continuing the tradition and maybe bringing some more and making worser taste,
[8:41] but I know wasco is thriving and it's time to award those initiatives and those successes.
[8:49] that's all I want to say, so thank you all for your support.
[8:53] >> thank you. >> thank you. >> we should give
[9:00] a show up for one photo [noise].
[9:08] >> this would not
[9:22] happen [background].
[10:06] >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you so much.
[10:34] >> item 7, public comments on items not on the agenda.
[10:41] this portion of the meeting is reserved for persons desiring to address the council,
[10:47] including the council acting as a governing board for the successor agency.
[10:53] on any matter, not on this agenda over which the council
[10:57] and successor agency have jurisdiction speakers are limited to two minutes,
[11:03] a maximum of 30 minutes will be allowed for any one subject.
[11:12] please state your name for the record before making your presentation.
[11:17] brown ac requirements, the brown ac does not allow action or discussion on items not on the agenda,
[11:25] subject to narrow sessions. This will limit council members response to
[11:32] questions and requests during this comment period.
[11:37] is there any comments from the public?
[11:43] >> no comments? >> is there any email comments?
[11:47] >> there are no email comments for this item or any other agenda items.
[11:54] >> now we just go to item 8. Successor agency business.
[12:00] council finds the action and not a project, defined under section 15378 of the sqa guidelines.
[12:10] adopt a resolution of the successor agency to the former wasco redevelopment agency authorizing
[12:18] the signing authority for the successor agency bank accounts. Miss mosquera.
[12:24] >> yes. Good evening, chairman and governing board. This item is really just a housekeeping item.
[12:30] we're actually adding the accounting manager to the list of signers.
[12:34] there's typically two times when you update the signers and that's usually when there's
[12:41] a change in the governing board or there's new staff that's being added to the agency.
[12:48] this will give us the recommendation is to proceed and adopt the resolution of
[12:55] the successor agency to the former wasco redo agency authorizing the signing authority for the success agency bank accounts,
[13:02] and give the authority to add the county manager as a signer.
[13:07] >> thank you. Are there any public comments at this time?
[13:11] I see none. Any comments from the members? Director martinez?

[13:43] motion is approved with three ayes with chairman medina and director rena absent.
[13:47] >> we move on to the item number 9, wasco public financing authority business.

[14:01] adopt a resolution of the board of directors of the wasko public financing authority to add
[14:08] rocio mosca as authorizing signer for all wasco public financing authority bank accounts. Ms. Mosca.
[14:16] >> it's just similar sorry, honorable chairman and board of directors. This is just similar as the previous item.
[14:22] this is to adopt a resolution of the board of directors of the wasco public financing authority to

[15:33] >> good evening. Honorable mayor pro tem and council members.
[15:38] I'll be presenting the public safety report for september. Just please keep in mind.
[15:43] these numbers only cover about half the month. The totals may look a little lower, so far,
[15:51] our department has handled 476 call for service and
[15:55] 312 officer initiative incidents for a total of 788 incidents.
[16:02] based on that, we expect to finish the month with around 1,600 incidents,
[16:08] which is consistent with our usual monthly average. We have had 44 arrests so far.
[16:15] in terms of stolen vehicles, we have taken three reports and recovered one vehicle.
[16:22] for traffic enforcement, our officers have been very proactive so far this month,
[16:27] completing 202 traffic stops, issuing 51 citations, and making seven dui arrests.
[16:37] this has been a big step forward in keeping our roads safer with these oirss.
[16:44] on the community out each side, we have locked nine positive citizen contacts this month,
[16:50] and we also participate in the wasco rose festival parade where
[16:55] our pw kids probably took third place with their float.
[17:00] in addition, we're currently planning our national night out for october 10th,
[17:07] and we're looking forward to another successful turnout. That concludes my report.
[17:12] thank you, and I'll be happy to answer any questions.
[17:17] >> I have no question myself, but thank you for all you guys doing the good roads festival.
[17:23] >> nice seeing you guys out to the rose festival. Thank you guys for being there. >> yes, sir.

[17:33] >> thank you, sir. >> thank you.
[17:51] >> city council business, item number 11 consent calendar.
[17:56] the the consent calendar consists of items that are
[18:00] routine and non controversial in the staff's opinion.
[18:05] these items are approved in one motion unless a council member or a member of the public requests the removal of a particular item.
[18:13] this evening, we have items 11a to 11f.
[18:21] >> one by one. >> after it, are we done?
[18:27] >> the red. Jump down to the red. >> all right. >> at this time, I would like to ask the members if they have
[18:35] any conflict of interest on any particular item of the consent calendar, member martinez?
[18:41] >> no conflict. >> member raya? >> no. >> I have no conflict myself, either.
[18:47] is there anyone in the audience that would like to remove an item?
[18:55] is there any council members who would like to remove an item? Member martinez?

[19:25] to approve the consent calendar. Motion is approved with three eyes with mayor medina,
[19:29] councilmember rina, absent. >> item number 12, public hearings. We have none.
[19:35] item 13 deferred business. We have none.
[19:41] item 14, new business 14a. Council finds his action in a project defined under the section
[19:50] of 15378 of the ceqa guidelines.
[19:55] adopt a resolution approving the amendment to the city's investment policy delegation of authority. Mr. Herbert.
[20:05] >> yes, honorable mayor por pro tem and members of the council.
[20:10] tonight's agenda for new business is all about finance department business.
[20:17] you will see investment policy
[20:23] has been well established with a few changes over the years,
[20:27] but has stood the test of time and has served us well. Tonight, we are adding one paragraph in light of
[20:35] the extraordinary circumstances we have with the absence or vacancy of our finance director position.
[20:42] the policy was very specific in only naming two individuals or by
[20:47] title who could execute the investment policy.
[20:54] until we have a new director in place, staff is proposing the following paragraph, which I'll read,
[21:02] but you have on your screen in front of you, which will get us through this period of time where we don't have
[21:09] a specific finance department director.
[21:13] the proposed language is in the event of a vacancy or
[21:18] prolonged absence in any of the designated positions referenced above,
[21:22] the city council may by resolution, authorize additional or alternate staff
[21:27] to assume the responsibilities outlined in this policy. Such delegation shall remain in effect until the vacancy is filled,
[21:35] the absence is resolved or the council takes further action.
[21:39] all other aspects of the investment policy remain unchanged.
[21:45] let me put this into a real world example we have,
[21:50] as you know, operating account, a checking account, essentially, at wells fargo,
[21:56] but we also maintain three separate investment accounts for our reserves.
[22:01] the investment policy dictates how that money can be moved to and
[22:05] from those investment accounts.
[22:10] the resolution that this council passed last month following the departure of our finance director,
[22:18] authorizing me as city manager to perform some of those financial transactions and what not.
[22:25] I believe probably gave me the authority and do believe it gave me the authority to execute these functions.
[22:34] but just out of an abundance of caution, I'd like to do two things tonight.
[22:38] one is to approve this additional wording to our policy and also to specifically acknowledge and
[22:46] retroactively my authority to do the one transfer that I did
[22:51] in order to keep our operating accounts at a proper level last week.
[22:56] so there was a transfer that was executed from one of our investment accounts.
[23:02] if there are questions on this, happy to answer those and otherwise,
[23:08] we'll be asking for a motion that also retroactively that adds this authority
[23:19] for the transaction that already took place last week.
[23:23] >> thank you. Are there any public comments at this time?
[23:28] any comments from the members member martinez? >> no comments.
[23:33] >> member raya? >>. >> no comments. >> I have no comments myself.
[23:37] I would like to entertain a motion for approval. >> I'll make a motion to retroactively enact this since scott took over.
[23:45] >> maybe just a little more clarification in the middle of your motion. I was named as the alternate on these accounts.
[23:53] but so I was authorized as far as the account was concerned and and the banks were concerned.
[23:59] it's just clean up on this policy. Just to make sure.
[24:04] >> my second. >> that sufficient, madam clerk?
[24:11] >> yes. That's sufficient, so retroactive.
[24:15] >> to retroactively add the city manager's authority?
[24:19] >> for for a transaction that occurred last week. >> for a transaction that occurred last week.
[24:28] >> madam clerk, we have a vote by roll call.
[24:33] >> okay. >> yes. Mayor saldana.
[24:38] >> aye. >> council member martinez? >> aye. Council member raya?
[24:42] >> aye. >> motion by council member martinez, second by council member raya,
[24:47] to adopt the resolution to add to retroactively add city manager's authority for the transaction that occurred last week.
[24:55] motion is approved with three eyes with mayor medina and councilmember rena absent.
[24:59] >> thank you. We'll move on to 14b. Council finds the action.
[25:06] that's not a project defined under the section 15378 of the ceqa guidelines.
[25:13] adopt a resolution updating the authorized signatories for the local agency investment fund,
[25:22] laif, mr. Herbert. >> yes, honorable mayor pro tem,
[25:28] and members of the council. Now that the policy has been updated,
[25:32] there was also some housekeeping that was overdue on the signatories for these three accounts.
[25:38] there will be three items now virtually identical except they call out the particular investment account involved.
[25:44] this one is the local agency investment fund known as laif this is
[25:50] operated by the state and authorized for municipalities to invest funds.
[25:57] and as you'll see in your staff report, if we can scroll that up just a little bit so we show the whole list.
[26:04] this is the list. The upper list is removing
[26:09] the authority of individuals that had previously been approved,
[26:13] and this goes back a ways, as you can see, and those names will be removed,
[26:20] and the list below adds myself, our assistant city manager, lamar, rodriguez,
[26:28] as treasurer is still in office and adding the deputy treasurer rocio mosca.
[26:36] >> all right. Thank you. Are there any public comments at this time?
[26:42] >> I see none. Any comments from the members? Member martinez.
[26:47] >> was the laif fund and the class fund click created at the same time or?
[26:53] >> no. Class came later. [overlapping] >> the one that was just two years ago. >> for a while, yes.
[26:58] >> laif had been around for a while. Class is much newer. >> I'll reserve my question for the next item then.
[27:04] no for the comments. >> member raya? >> no comment. >> I have no comments myself.
[27:09] I would like to entertain a motion for approval. >> moved.
[27:13] >> second. Madam per approved by roco.
[27:17] >> mayor pete. >> aye. >> council member martinez? >> aye. Council member raya?
[27:23] >> aye. >> motion by council member martinez, seconded by council member raya,
[27:27] to adopt a resolution. Motion is approved with three eyes with mayor medina and council member rena absent.
[27:32] >> I'm going to move on to item 14c. Counsel finds that action is not a project defined under
[27:39] the section 15378 of the sqa guidelines, adopt a resolution,
[27:46] updating the authorized signatories for the california cooperative liquid asset security system,
[27:53] ica class mr. Harbert. >> yes, honorable mayor pro tem and members of the council.
[28:00] as I mentioned, this action is virtually identical to the previous in removing
[28:07] previous individuals that had previously had
[28:11] authority and adding to the list of those that will have authority moving forward,
[28:17] except that it affects the ca class or california class account.
[28:23] happy to answer any questions. >> are there any public comments at this time?
[28:30] I see none. Any comments from the members member martinez?
[28:35] >> if I remember correctly, we created the class account whenever I was the mayor, so like, two years ago.
[28:41] daniel has been gone for five. How did he even get on the account?
[28:47] >> that's a good question. >> is wouldn't he have to sign to be on the account?
[28:52] >> he would have to research that or we may have an answer.
[29:00] >> I think what? This is possibility that we had used
[29:05] the previous resolution with the authorization of the lay for the other authorized signature,
[29:12] and it had those people on there. >> thank you.
[29:17] >> but it's a good point and we'll make sure that I don't think there's any harm in removing somebody that isn't there,
[29:25] but it's it's worth looking into. Let me find out.
[29:31] >> member wright? >> no I have no comment. >> no questions or comments. I'd like to entertain a motion for approval.
[29:38] to second. Mr. Wright I would second.
[29:44] >> item c vote by roll call.
[29:48] >> mayor pro tem. >> aye. >> council member martinez. >> aye. >> council member raya.
[29:53] >> aye. >> motion by council member martinez. Second by councilmember rina to adopt the resolution.
[29:58] motion is approved with three eyes with councilmember rina and mayor medina absent.
[30:03] >> oder to move in to item 14d. Council finds action is not a project defined under
[30:09] the section 15378 of the sqa guidelines, adopted resolution dating and authorize signatories for the us bank, mr. Herbert.
[30:19] >> yes, honorable mayor pro tem and members of the council. Again, virtually identical.
[30:25] this, however, affects our us bank investment accounts.
[30:30] us bank was authorized by the state through a particular government code that is contained in this staff report.
[30:39] a little bit unusual compared to the other two, which are essentially jpa type of structures.
[30:46] this one will add and subtract the same list of names as the previous two items.
[30:54] >> thank you. Are there any public comments at this time?
[31:00] I see none. Any comments from the members member martinez?
[31:05] >> no comments. >> member ria? >> no comments. >> I have no comments myself.
[31:09] I would like to entertain a motion for approval. >> I second. Madam, vote by roco, please?
[31:18] >> mayor pro tem [inaudible]. >> aye. >> council member martinez? >> aye. >> council member raya.
[31:23] >> aye. >> motion by council member martinez. Second by councilmember ria to adopt a resolution.
[31:28] motion is approved of three eyes with mayor martinez and council member rena absent.
[31:33] >> moving on to item 15, reports from commissions and committees.
[31:39] mr. Medina, absent today, so there's no reports from that.
[31:43] mr. Rena the item 15 b,
[31:48] current council of government, mr. Renas. Absent and item 15 c,
[31:55] wasco task was where we just look forward to collaborating in the citywide in october.
[32:03] item 16, reports from the city manager.
[32:07] >> yes. Thank you, honorable mayor pro tem and members of the council. A few items tonight other than the ones where
[32:15] the lieutenant stole my thunder about the pal accomplishments recently,
[32:20] so I'm glad to let you do that. Community breakfast happened at the state prison,
