2.B Check Presentation: PG&E, Cam Malloy, Account Manager/Economic Development
Specialist - Waste Water Treatment Plant Expansion Efficiency Measures [RM]
In July of 2009 the City of Kerman requested PG&E to perform an energy audit on
the planned upgrade and expansion of the City of Kerman's Wastewater Treatment
Plant with the intent of maximizing the efficiency of the WWTP and qualifying for
PG&E energy efficiency incentives. PG&E completed the audit and made multiple
recommendations for energy efficiency. Between the summer of 2009 and the end of
2011 PG&E worked with city staff and the city contractors for the project to insure a
successful implementation of energy efficiency measures. The PG&E energy
efficiency incentive for this project totals $35,861.88.
Energy Efficiency Measures included:
*Premium Efficiency Motors
*High Efficiency Pumps
*Screw Press
*High efficiency diffusers
3

The energy efficiency measures installed with the new plant expansion will save the
city an estimated 353,683 kwh of electrical energy annually and reduce the plants
demand by approximately 40 kW. Based on the cities average $0.137/kwh cost for
electricity at the WWTP this energy savings translates into an annual cost savings of
$48,454 per year.
Total Incremental Cost Efficiency Measures $385,090.00
PG&E Incentive $ 35,861.88
Total Incremental Cost with incentives $349,228.12
Estimated Total Annual Energy Cost Savings $ 48,454.00
Simple Payback 7.2 years
IN ADDITION: Ms. Malloy and City Manager, Ron Manfredi will announce a new
partnership with the City of Kerman & PG&E introducing a Kerman Energy
Efficiency and Cost Savings Program. Attached in the Council Agenda Packet is a
flow-chart that names the various organizations and participants in a Planning
Energy Faire scheduled to KICK-OFF the program on Tuesday, February 21.
Recommendation: Council Accept Check and Thank PG&E and Staff for their hard
work and cooperation

4.D Approval of One-Year Farm Lease Renewal Contract with David Bufkin for Use of
Property for Agricultural Purposes [TLP]
This lease contract is between the City of Kerman and Mr. David Bufkin for the lease of
approximately 38 acres, which are owned by the City and located near the southeast
corner of California Avenue and Siskiyou Avenue. Mr. Bufkin has been leasing this
property even prior to the City's purchase of the property (for future park development)
and would like to continue the lease under the same terms, which seem to be fair and
reasonable, given the market for such property. Staff attempted to negotiate a higher
rent amount with Mr. Bufkin, but learned that he is already paying more per acre for this
property than he is for other such properties that he is renting for similar uses. As such,
staff is recommending renewing the contract for one more year, under the same terms as
were included in the lease for 2011.
Recommendation: Council to approve the one-year farm lease contract between the
City of Kerman and David Bufkin as presented.
4.E Resolution: Appointing/Reappointing Members to Community Service & Recreation
Commission [PG]
The Community and Recreation Services Commission has the responsibility as a fact
finding and advisory agency for the Parks, Recreation and Community Services
Department concerning the development, administration and maintenance of all parks
and facilities, including design, regulation, policies and procedures, park and recreation
programs, senior, social and community programs and shall make recommendations to
the City Council regarding these community services.
The Recreation and Community Services Commission at their regular meeting on
Wednesday, January 25, 2012, reviewed three applications: one (1) new from Richie
Arredondo and two from incumbents Mike Teixeira and Delores Amaro. In accordance
5

with their bylaws, by open vote of the Commission; the following community people have
been recommended to the City Council for approval. Mike Teixeira and Delores Amaro
are recommended for reappointed to three-year terms, and Richie Arredondo is
recommended for a two-year term.
Recommendation: Council Approve Resolution Appointing/Reappointing
Commissioners, Teixeira, Amaro and Arredondo to Community Service & Recreation
Commission per the indicated terms.
4.F Resolution: Authorization for Escrow Instructions and Acceptance of Rights of Way
for Kearney Boulevard and Vineland Avenue Walkway [GH]
The City of Kerman is acquiring right of way from five property owners on Kearney
Boulevard and Vineland Avenue for the installation of a sidewalk to provide better access
for children walking to Goldenrod Elementary School. The Council has previously
approved the offers made to each of the property owners, and all of the owners have
accepted the City's offer for the purchase of each parcel.
Escrows have been opened with Chicago Title Company to complete the transactions.
This Resolution will authorize the City Manager to sign the Escrow Instructions on
behalf of the City. In addition, the Resolution will accept the property on behalf of the
public and authorize the City Clerk to affix a certificate of acceptance to each deed.
Recommendation: Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager
to sign Escrow Instructions and accepting right of way on behalf of the public.
5. PETITIONS, BIDS, RESOLUTIONS, ORDINANCES, AGREEMENTS, ETC
5.A Resolution: Authorizing the Reallocation of Personnel Expenditures and Related
Budget Amendments Made Necessary by the Dissolution of the Kerman
Redevelopment Agency [TLP]
Because the Redevelopment Agencies throughout the State of California have been
dissolved as of February 1, 2012, certain budget adjustments are necessary to allow for
the allocation of personnel costs for employees that had previously been paid with RDA
funds. The transfer of various personnel costs from the Kerman RDA to the Successor
Agency (the City of Kerman) requires, at least temporarily, that the City's Budget incur
addition expenditures and this requires a budget adjustment.
Included in the Council's packets is a resolution to authorize such a budget amendment
for FY 2011/12. Attached to the resolution is the proposed allocation schedule, which
shows which funds and activities the employees' salaries and benefits will be charged
throughout the balance of the 2011/2012 fiscal year.
As previously reported, these additional personnel costs for FY 11/12 will not be entirely
covered by the City. They will be offset to some extent by additional City revenues. Some
revenues which were previously received by the Kerman RDA will now be received by the
City of Kerman in the form of Property Taxes. In addition, the City will receive an
administration fee for handling the affairs of the dissolved Redevelopment Agency. There
will also be some savings in the City of Kerman 2011/2012 Budget, realized through the
6

ecruitment of a new City Manager at a lower pay scale or step than the current City
Manager. This has been calculated and reflected in the reallocation schedule. We
anticipate this to be a temporary measure as there are State-wide discussions regarding
some type of compromise position which may lessen the impact. We also need to obtain a
better idea of what the net fiscal impact of the RDA Dissolution will be on the City. As we
begin to prepare the FY 2012/2013 Budget, we hope to have a better idea of these fiscal
impacts and to be able to budget accordingly.
The Reallocation Schedule (Exhibit A) shows the percentage shifts that are being
proposed for the various positions (including the City Council). You will notice that the
negative shifts out of the RDA Funds are offset by positive shifts to the other respective
funds. Below the percentage shifts for each position are the related dollars to be shifted.
At the bottom of the schedule are totals, with $66,373 being reallocated to the various
departments within the General Fund and the remaining $4,273 going to the Enterprise,
L&L District and Street Funds. The total reallocation amount is $70,647 (with rounding
difference of $1).
These last minute rulings on the RDA Dissolution are frustrating and unfortunate.
However, as cities throughout California are able to determine the impact of the
Dissolution, we will get a better idea of how to budget for personnel and other
expenditures in the future.
Recommendation: Council to approve Resolution authorizing the reallocation of
personnel expenditures and related budget amendments made necessary by the
dissolution of the Kerman Redevelopment Agency.
5.B Resolution: Post Retirement Agreement with Ron Manfredi - Labor Negotiator
Services [MB]
This item is carried over from the January 18th Council Agenda. After 18.5 years of
service with the City of Kerman City Manager, Ron Manfredi will retire on Friday March
2, 2012. Employee labor contracts with City of Kerman employee groups (Kerman Public
Safety Employees Association (KPSEA) and Kerman Municipal Employees Association
(KMEA) will terminate June 30, 2012. Therefore, the City Council is considering a shortterm
contract with Mr. Manfredi for the purposes of labor relations to conduct Meet &
Confer meetings with these associations towards the goal of securing new contacts. The
specific terms of the agreement are contained in the attached contract. Specifically, the
rate of pay will be $75/hr (no fringe benefits and no vehicle) with guarantee of 10/hrs.
per week for eight weeks and will begin on March 6th after Mr. Manfredi retires.
This is a temporary agreement for specific and limited services. It also scheduled under
closed session if Council desires to further discuss this personnel matter.
Recommendation: Council Approve Resolution: Post Retirement Agreement with Ron
Manfredi - Labor Negotiator Services

6. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
6.A Letter: Senator Michael Rubio - Letter of Support for SB 250, the California Reliable
Water Supply Act [MR]
Senator Michael Rubio is requesting a letter of support for SB 250, the California
Reliable Water Supply Act. This bill adopts the aggressive, yet achievable deadline the
Governor and federal agencies have agreed upon, and provides certainty that the Bay
Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) will be completed by February 15, 2013 and that the
construction of Delta facilities will be accomplished by December 21, 2025. The BDCP
will restore the Delta and increase the state's water supply reliability. This bill strives to
achieve State’s water system will be available to serve all Californians while also
protecting the Delta.
Senator Rubio's staff member should be on-hand to provide additional information
Recommendation: Council consider a letter of Support for SB 250, the California
Reliable Water Supply Act and authorize the Mayor to sign on behalf of the City.
7. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
7.A Planning Commission Appointments - Candidate Interviews and Appointments [RM]
After a discussion Council directed staff to contact all three applicants Gabriel Melgoza,
Jordan Harris and Kevin Nehring for the two seats on the Planning Commission. These
three individuals were contacted by the City and requested to come before the City
Council at the February 1, 2012 meeting to present their qualifications and interest in the
Planning Commission appointment.
Please note Mayor ProTem Wilcox will not be in attendance tonight.
Recommendation: Council provide a time limit to each applicant presentation and if
Council wishes to reconsider their previous decision made at the December 7 meeting, a
new vote may be held. Council may consider the following options:
1. Conduct a new vote for the appointments
2. Take no action; therefore the previous December 7, 2011 decision will stand
3. Because Council member Wilcox is absent postpone a vote and reconsider at the
February 15, 2012 meeting
7.B Procedures for Appointment of Planning Commissioners [LP]
Background
On December 21, 2011, the City Council directed staff to prepare alternative methods for
the appointment of Planning Commissioners. Currently, the City Council invites all
candidates applying for an appointment on the Planning Commission to attend a Council
meeting so that they may introduce themselves, explain why they would like to serve, and
allow the Council to ask questions. The City Council then appoints members to the
8

Planning Commission through a ballot process. Although not codified in the KMO, this
has been the practice for appointing members to the Kerman Planning Commission.
The Kerman Planning Commission consists of 7 members appointed by the City Council
to serve three year staggered terms. The Commission serves as an advisory body to the
City Council on all land use matters.
Discussion
In a letter dated December 12, 2011, Planning Commissioner Nathan Fox asked the City
to consider an alternative process for the appointment of members to the Kerman
Planning Commission. At the December 21, 2011 City Council meeting Chairperson
Robert Epperson made a formal request before the City Council to consider Mr. Fox’s
suggestion. The City Council agreed and directed staff to come back with alternatives for
the Council’s consideration.
Staff has prepared three alternative procedures for the appointment of Planning
Commissioners, as follows:
Alternative 1: Schedule interviews of candidates before a regular Council meeting,
beginning at 6:00 p.m., followed by a ballot vote at the conclusion of the interviews. This
would give the Council an opportunity to focus on the candidates’ qualifications and
interest separate from action items on the regular Council agenda.
Alternative 2: Appoint an Ad-Hoc committee consisting of two members of the City
Council to review, interview and recommend candidates to be appointed by the full
Council. This would allow the sub-committee to interview candidates separately and to
formalize their recommendations to the City Council for appointment at a regular
Council meeting.
Alternative 3: Each Councilmember shall appoint one member to the Planning
Commissioner and the remaining two are appointed by a majority vote of the entire City
Council. This alternative will require a formal amendment to the Kerman Municipal
Code. Moreover, this alternative could be more complicated to track.
Staff recommends that the City Council select one of the above recommended
Alternatives or another option that they may prefer and adopt procedures for selecting
and appointing members to the Kerman Planning Commission. If a decision is made; the
"New Selection Procedure" can be developed into a Resolution and placed on a future
consent calendar agenda for formal approval.
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council select one of the
recommended alternatives or another option and adopt procedures for selecting and
appointing members to the Kerman Planning Commission. The "New Selection
Procedure" will be developed into a Resolution and placed on a future consent calendar
agenda for formal approval.

7.C Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Solar Photovoltaic Project at Wastewater
Treatment Plant [LP]
Staff has prepared a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to solicit information from
qualified solar firms for the development of a solar photovoltaic project at the
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). Staff is proposing to partner with a qualified solar
firm to explore the feasibility of designing, financing, building, and maintaining a solar
project at the WWTP through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
The recently expanded WWTP has resulted in additional treatment capacity to
accommodate future growth and development. The expanded plant has also resulted in
increased energy use and costs as well. Staff would like to explore the possibility of
lowering or offsetting the energy cost for operating the WWTP through the installation of
a solar photovoltaic system.
The RFQ will be sent out to several firms that specialize in such projects and that have a
demonstrated history of designing, financing, developing and maintaining similar solar
facilities. As part of the RFQ, staff will form a committee comprised of the following
individuals: Director of Planning and Development, Public Works Director, Finance
Director, and the Kings River Conservation District. The committee will be charged with
reviewing the RFQ's submitted, interviewing the respondents, and recommending the top
solar firm to the City Council for purposes of negotiating a power purchase agreement.
The RFQ is the first step in the process of evaluating the feasibility of a solar
photovoltaic system with a qualified solar company. The City Council will have the final
authority to enter into a power purchase agreement with the selected firm.
Recommendation: That the City Council direct staff to proceed with the release of a
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to qualified solar firms for the development of a solar
photovoltaic system at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.

impacts of various positions/decisions taken by the City in the M & C process.
56

8. CITY and City Council Duties and Responsibilities:
a. City Council full understands and agrees that the M & C process is a professional
undertaking requiring confidentiality, patience and careful delegation of separate
and distinct duties and roles;
b. Council understands that the final decisions regarding any labor relations
agreement are made by a majority vote of the City Council in public session.
However, during the negotiation phase, most other informational sessions will be
limited to “Closed” City Council agenda as posted. With this understanding
Council recognizes and respects that labor relations and M & C are sensitive
issues and confidentiality is of the utmost importance. Furthermore, that Mr.
Manfredi shall be the representative of the City Council in these matters and will
report exclusively to the City Council (properly keeping the City Attorney
informed) unless the Council directs employee to report exclusively to the new
City Manager. More than likely with the employment of a new City Manager,
Employee will report both to the Council & the new City Manager;
c. City Council Members understand that it would be improper to privately discuss
these matters outside of the confines of the closed session discussion with Mr.
Manfredi, City Attorney and the City Council, and that any such discussion that
breaches confidentiality may be counter-productive and detrimental to the CITY’s
best interests; and
d. Council authorizes Manfredi limited access to City employee services re: payroll
information including wage/benefit impacts, benefit adjustments, scheduling and
other analysis related to the typical M & C issues. It is understood while the
majority of this information will be assembled prior to Mr. Manfredi’s official
retirement date of March 2, 2012, some additional City staff work may be
required to calculate final fiscal impacts as complete and final MOUs are agreed
upon. During the duration of this agreement, Manfredi may also continue to use
the City’s lap top computer which he has used at this home for several years.
9. Time Frame
a. Per the schedule of the labor relations representative for the groups (attorney
Barry Bennett) it is anticipated that the first M & C session will not begin until
after the Jan. 18, 2012 City Council meeting. Mr. Manfredi will provide detailed
M & C briefings for the Council at the Dec. 21 st and Jan 18 th closed session
meetings. These pre-retirement services will be subject to the Employee’s
existing contract and not this Agreement.
b. Termination of Agreement - All parties recognize that the M & C process can be
lengthily and sometimes become confrontational. With this in mind, Mr.
Manfredi, with the Council’s cooperation and direction will seek to resolve the M
& C issues and obtain mutually satisfactory new MOUs for approval by the
Council and the respective labor groups within a reasonable time period.
Therefore, if agreements can be reached prior to the end of this contract; the
guaranteed hours will also be reduced and/or terminated when both agreements
are approved by Council Resolutions and necessary follow-up paper work is
completed.

SUPPORT
Dear Senator Rubio:
CITY COUNCIL
Gary Yep, Mayor
Doug Wilcox
Raj Dhaliwal
Jack Sidhu
Richard Stockwell
On behalf of City of Kerman I am writing in support of SB 250, a bill which will provide certainty that
the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) will be completed by February 15, 2013 and that the
construction of Delta facilities will be accomplished by December 21, 2025. In light of the mounting
danger to the state’s water supply due to seismic risk, levee failure and Delta ecosystem deterioration,
we feel that it is imperative that the state and federal governments efficiently complete the BDCP.
The timeline to finish the BDCP, contained in SB 250, is consistent with the schedule endorsed by the
California Natural Resources Agency and the US Department of the Interior. This timeline was
carefully designed to adhere to the requirements of the state’s permitting and environmental laws,
while providing a clear path toward achieving California’s dual goals of water supply reliability and
Delta ecosystem restoration that were established in the 2009 comprehensive Delta / water
management legislation. Moreover, building the conveyance system is a necessary part of the state’s
economic recovery and a signal to employers and employees that California will continue to invest in
the state’s future. It is expected that the project will produce over 129,000 jobs, a critical boost to our
struggling economy.
The Bay Delta Conservation Plan will be a significant step in restoring the ecosystem and providing
the infrastructure improvements that are necessary to protect public health and safety and revitalize
California’s economy. It is critical that we move forward on a path that will benefit all Californians.
For all these reasons, I would like to respectfully submit this letter of support.
Sincerely,
Gary Yep
Mayor

SECTION I: BACKGROUND
1. Project Background
The City of Kerman (the “City”) is soliciting Requests for Qualifications (“RFQ”) for the design,
procurement of materials, installation, financing and all associated documentation and processes
for completion of a Solar Photovoltaic System (“PV Project”) to be located at the Wastewater
Treatment Plan (“WWTP”) and possibly additional City-owned facilities. The City anticipates that
the System or Systems shall be financed, owned and operated by the project developer
(“Developer”) under a Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) for an agreed-upon unit cost and term.
In relation to this RFQ, the term “Developer” shall refer to all organizational members of the
respondent’s team that will, through combined efforts and abilities, perform all aspects of solar site
development.
The site at which the City desires to host a PV Project is the Wastewater Treatment Plant, located
at 16486 Church Avenue in Kerman, CA. See Attachment A for a site overview. Currently, there is
no existing onsite energy generation from solar power; the proposed Project would be the City’s
first solar facility installation. The WWTP receives primary-voltage power from PG&E. Historical
electrical usage data has been provided in Attachment B.
The City is also considering the construction of additional PV systems at other City-owned facilities,
such as City Hall, Police Department, and Community/Teen Center, with financing also to be
provided via PPA or solar lease. Site information for additional solar locations will be provided if
and when such locations are approved for development.
2. Goals and Objectives of RFQ
The goal of this RFQ is to establish a shortlist of qualified firms (“Proposer”) using the criteria
established in this document. The City expects to evaluate and screen this list of qualified firms to
begin contract negotiations with a sole Developer for City solar project(s) based upon best-value
and qualitative evaluation of solutions provided in response to this RFQ.
The objectives of this RFQ is to procure reliable renewable energy at a cost that provides savings
to the City, to minimize and stabilize future energy costs in the treatment of wastewater for the rate
payers of the City of Kerman, and to establish a long-term relationship with a solar PV provider that
facilitates the cost-effective development of solar photovoltaic system at the WWTP and other City
facilities.
Firms submitting responses to this RFQ do so understanding that the City does not guarantee the
award of any contract or work. The City reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to
abolish, refresh, or extend the scope or limitations of this PV Project.
