For June, the chief said patrol responded to 326 calls for service and made 77 self‑initiated stops for a total of 403 events; the department made 22 arrests in June, 19 of which were booked and three were cited out. The investigations division began the month with eight open investigations; five cases were closed through arrest, and investigators executed two search warrants in the city during June.

The chief described a June 16 carjacking response in detail: multiple units and county sheriff deputies converged, the stolen vehicle was located and a pit maneuver brought that vehicle to a stop, and another fleeing vehicle was stopped near Waterford Irrigation; three people were arrested and there were no reported injuries. “It ended up with everybody being arrested with 0 injuries,” the chief said after reviewing body‑worn camera and policy compliance.

Council members asked about fireworks enforcement over the Fourth of July. The chief said deputies issued citations but did not have a total count available at the meeting and promised to provide citation totals at a future meeting. The chief said enforcement is difficult to fully suppress and that the department will continue to coordinate regionally.

No motions or formal council actions were taken on the police report; the item was informational.","The police chief reported June patrol and investigations statistics and described a coordinated response in which three people were arrested in a June 16 carjacking; the department also continues work on Fourth of July fireworks enforcement statistics.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6155648,"Council adopts ordinance to rezone 3.61 acres for 53 single‑family lots",83,263000,346000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5474146-1b24c309dc814fe5ce56c84e249841c1&start=263&end=346","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5474146-1b24c309dc814fe5ce56c84e249841c1/thumbnail_263000.jpg","/articles/6155648/Waterford-City/Stanislaus-County/California/Council-adopts-ordinance-to-rezone-361-acres-for-53-singlefamily-lots","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6155648-cedf950dcffa3295a864d4fc3c2898e7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771176293&Signature=Dv6c5LZCYYKDrBHSK61u~aIsUbeCR8cojZffVb9Bc06g5tSjAYzXsCQnJ-rPUNAAIUYJIFqngQCgDGgMumWHp2bvwP5JCiOy73IlT-V2dGDJs-WnWox5Tls4OLtinOtlj7ys5p-gwiYWKS3oOmhXcNAB4w5wmEOk1XPDEtbiUgECLntpHIeIgSM0JQpJRbU4plx28OZpTFO2XLSfKATx1RiaHjtX2A77DjPt6mYPl2OBiVYiqgZ4PVjIPct0oqkxEku8S0hm0CW6C~UZQuYV1Sae4c-UI-zUvMpSszCtpFWVU-2yM9yeY0ympP2fyguN6eWMmfxoY3oQGQMg9qsqLA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Waterford City Council completed the second reading and adopted Ordinance 2025‑03, rezoning 3.61 acres designated as Assessor Parcel 080‑045‑023 and amending Planned Community PC01‑06 to allow a 53‑lot single‑family residential development.

City manager Pickock presented the Summers Park concept: a triangular park bounded by La Galena, Summer and D streets. Staff said two public meetings produced several recurring ideas — a community garden, a splash pad and a grassy quiet area with a gazebo. “Staff does not recommend pursuing the community garden proposal at this time…we currently do not have the resources to do that,” Pickock said, adding concerns about maintenance, disputes between plot users, weeds and staffing.

Pickock also advised caution on a splash pad, citing potable water use that flows to sewer, limited parking and a lack of public restrooms at the site; he suggested splash pads may be better located at parks with restroom infrastructure. Instead, staff recommended a grassy area with a gazebo for the Summers Park site because it is easier to maintain and suits the residential setting.

Council member Talbot spoke in favor of the grassy park concept and suggested adding minimal playground equipment, possibly freestanding or inclusive equipment so children with disabilities could use it. “Maybe adding … some minimal playground equipment … inclusive playground equipment so that children with disabilities could use our public parks,” Talbot said. Council member Gutierrez supported adding one or two small, inclusive pieces of equipment.

Council amended the resolution to reflect staff’s recommendation with the addition of small inclusive playground equipment and adopted the resolution by a 4‑0 vote. Staff said the amended direction will be incorporated into the grant application scope of work and that the city manager will execute the application once the scope language is finalized.","Council approved submittal of a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant for Summers Park and amended staff’s recommendation to include a small, inclusive playground element alongside green space and a gazebo.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6155658,"Waterford council approves one-time $75 credit for Hickman customers after well discoloration",458,763000,1221000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5474146-1b24c309dc814fe5ce56c84e249841c1&start=763&end=1221","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5474146-1b24c309dc814fe5ce56c84e249841c1/thumbnail_763000.jpg","/articles/6155658/Waterford-City/Stanislaus-County/California/Waterford-council-approves-one-time-75-credit-for-Hickman-customers-after-well-discoloration","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6155658-2c48e67a98e9f1a28cdcd6b85ad72cff/orig.mp4?Expires=1771176293&Signature=Rw64SbV1dBoNRk-gHOJ4uzQOOk-XxYrRhydXRN6C23tA82AnH1z1mH~-BtddiJJxOvc3tw61paFeH1HWakFtv5XAu1x8C8bhXHOvQAo9CY3Dop2PjS19Mt9YzNHq21odLhOVgNgIceQ7256368gLe0tNYa8FN3C-0chVsy8~MKsV5I6I~myP0lKkEVGghw6lv9lLTc7u4GPOnd7qucvdLf39k5ARQRPCActyioryuQPEoScH-XSRMdDgeLUuGx9msYeLQL4IdCaLpaK7OO0T6IcT-fgXTzgGM8yge8rDYcqvXEi4oI0nNTvh7IGCNM8gsGP7gHIz8t4Wa3HhBrHnxA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Waterford City Council voted 3‑1 to approve a one‑time $75 billing credit for Hickman Water System accounts after customers received discolored water from mid‑March through mid‑June.

City manager Pickock told the council the discoloration affected the Hickman system for approximately three months and staff previously approved a $208,000 contract to “ice‑pig” the system and redevelop an older well; those actions have returned the water to clear at present. “We actually, the council approved $208,000 contract to ice pig the system. And through that effort as well as the redevelopment of your, older well, we've been able to get the water clear,” Pickock said.

The credit item came to council as resolution 2025‑45. Staff presented three options: no credit; a fixed dollar credit (staff offered $25 as an example); or a consumption‑based credit that staff calculated at about $140.52 per account (the council was told that figure reflects consumption of roughly 748 gallons per billing period for the affected months). Council members discussed administrative costs and equity concerns before settling on a single $75 credit. “I don't support that option [the consumption‑based approach] … I am supportive of some level of a flat rate,” Council member Gutierrez said during deliberations.

A Hickman resident who gave public comment, identifying their address as 8 Kiley Place in Hickman, proposed crediting only consumption over a household’s basic allotment so that the city would not have to disburse general funds and individual overage users would be compensated. The council considered that suggestion but voted for the flat $75 one‑time reduction. Mayor Gokin said she planned to vote against the measure and did so; the final tally was 3 in favor, 1 opposed.

The council instructed staff to prepare the amended resolution reflecting the $75 one‑time credit. Pickock said staff will return implementing details, including how the credit will appear on next bills. No other dollar amounts for broader remediation or future well work were authorized at this meeting; staff said additional well work will come back to council at a later date.

The action distinguishes discussion, public comment and the formal vote: council debate considered three staff options and public feedback; the formal decision was the approved resolution setting a $75 one‑time credit for affected accounts.","The Waterford City Council approved a one-time $75 credit for Hickman Water System accounts after residents received discolored water from mid‑March through mid‑June; the council also noted prior remediation work, including a $208,000 contract to clean the system.","actionData","errors"]
