Public Works staff described the concrete work as removing and replacing about 750 linear feet of sidewalk, five driveways, 855 linear feet of frontage improvement and one pedestrian ramp, and noted replacement of two noncompliant pedestrian ramps. The staff report lists a total project cost of $772,295.40; Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds will cover $594,159.22 and Measure L funds will cover the remaining $178,136.18. Council approved the contract by a 4-0 vote.
Staff said several other preapproved street and pedestrian projects are beginning: the Ryan Way–Yosemite pedestrian improvement project has already begun; the E Street improvement project and the 2025 service improvement project were scheduled to start the following Monday. Public Works also told the council that the bus route will be permanently rerouted to the Bentley stop because large buses cannot reliably navigate the narrowed downtown streets; the change will be permanent beginning in September. The city’s library staff will provide curbside service and promote the change while sidewalks are closed.
Public Works said work on the G Street project is expected to begin in mid next month and close out around October; the contractor list and bid amounts were read into the record during the bid-opening report. The contract award authorizes the city manager to execute the public improvement agreement; further notices and traffic-control planning will be handled by the Public Works Department.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CITY COUNCIL 08/07/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The City Council on Tuesday awarded a $643,579.50 contract to Hensley Paving and General Engineering Inc. for the G Street improvement project (Project No. 2025-07), with CDBG funds covering most of the $772,295.40 total cost.","taxTitle","Waterford City, Stanislaus County, California","taxId",75794,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6135432,"Waterford approves water rate study and seeks $134,000 REAP grant for well engineering",0,1110000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5674392-c71905d13e468f6bd1448234cd6070ed&start=1110&end=1110","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5674392-c71905d13e468f6bd1448234cd6070ed/thumbnail_1110000.jpg","/articles/6135432/Waterford-City/Stanislaus-County/California/Waterford-approves-water-rate-study-and-seeks-134000-REAP-grant-for-well-engineering","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6135432-49362bb97bd538fd6c6a283e4470ad32/orig.mp4?Expires=1771146514&Signature=kO10jmqVN7xrLXy1-5TS5AKx~Np-DsJezTGB3echFuZKE6kn8GTk81YbtmY7X2lcYfJlwj-xdH1qPswh4RdBflSyJhyvD3mhZh04-BD5omGO~colftFUGjURDrUQsP0fBpj88RV9fLwZS6aKm~TEM6X0dt002wATq1DkEBEamskpKu4NRDKOU0ECuYEtBrBV276YeSXYjRkDQpmu9QzJ0WcRn4MJf8p1x1K1Ei-RIlEi7IIRD9KfWkHh-oKvqtIelW1v1Yc1UMng7kVitzRjOL9sWDhVMKQSXHw80Q3O1AsfW~jzBzWwalEH4CVmKQ2kfIG8A5ZImwYFXwbi5xYFkA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Waterford on Tuesday awarded a $29,410 contract to a consulting firm for an independent five-year water rate and fee study and adopted a resolution authorizing submission of a $134,000 Regional Early Action Planning (REAP 2) grant application to Stanislaus Council of Governments.
The rate study contract will review the water enterprise’s finances, capital needs, customer classes and growth assumptions and is intended to establish rates to “maintain the system and adequately provide for capital needs” over the next five years, city staff said. The city hopes to have new rates take effect Jan. 1, 2026.
City staff said three bids were received: Bartle and Wells of Berkeley for $43,125; Lihovich and Seng of Alameda for $29,410; and Willdan Financial Services of Temecula for $29,935. Staff recommended contracting with Lihovich and Seng as the lowest responsive bidder and because the firm has previously provided rate-study services to the city; council approved the award by a 4-0 vote.
Separately, David Niskinan, the city’s contract planner, told the council the city is eligible for $134,000 in REAP 2 funds and staff proposes to use the allocation for preliminary engineering related to a potential new municipal well at the city-owned site at the northeast corner of Tim Bell Road and Vineyard. Niskinan said the preliminary work would include researching local well depth, water quality and output; coordinating a test well with a drilling consultant; lab analysis of test results; and a technical report with recommendations to determine whether the site can support a new well.
The resolution in the council packet authorizes the city manager to be the grant signatory and to execute required agreements; council adopted the resolution, listed as Resolution No. 2025-49, by a 4-0 vote. Staff said funds for the rate study are budgeted in the city’s water reserve fund and that the REAP application deadline required prompt council action.
The actions do not themselves authorize construction; the REAP funds described are for preliminary engineering, and the rate study will only recommend a rate schedule for council consideration.","The City Council awarded a $29,410 contract for an independent five-year water rate and fee study and adopted a resolution authorizing the city manager to apply for $134,000 in REAP 2 funds for preliminary engineering of a possible new municipal well at the northeast corner of Tim Bell Road and Vineyard.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":78,"_43":89,"_45":89,"_47":90,"_49":91,"_51":92,"_53":93,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":94,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":95,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6135422,"Waterford police report small declines in serious crime, announce SRO appointment delayed to winter",1530000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5674392-c71905d13e468f6bd1448234cd6070ed&start=1530&end=1530","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5674392-c71905d13e468f6bd1448234cd6070ed/thumbnail_1530000.jpg","/articles/6135422/Waterford-City/Stanislaus-County/California/Waterford-police-report-small-declines-in-serious-crime-announce-SRO-appointment-delayed-to-winter","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6135422-cc4a3b3bef0ba75daf4ddd6366e9bda4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771146514&Signature=mF12qZ~ESdp1OIHzB7sAYw2eSrdO8NeUTEYsP3G6nXebV86NL22HprPhqt9AkOc3asheqfHlAIB1gA-QVc7zG~VrVdU~SHEpHC40d90hlk1WQoy7x~6V4X6kIHoJ1v2Vfk5HeqOL8d6bU7FoRx3c0~7f3RRjBgOVnzDoPo4mdhFohClbMxDDWKU4OLTqpnDIOyFgFYWwdWXugAprrK~SD1N80Cg~cmeAuar1SvbcqtnGd8DY59-VGXw2JX8a5fnltUd9KewP1nWLvW2UGGGBv5Ez281ad4igyoplSrbbWmHlLU7pXcyGGcnfDY~hkXNNeo52CwIvsKo8QN5IudYRxw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Waterford’s police chief told the City Council on Tuesday that the department is seeing modest reductions in crime and announced a school resource officer (SRO) who will be assigned to the Waterford School District, though the officer’s full-time start may be delayed until December.
The chief reported 294 total calls for service in July, including 87 self-initiated incidents. Midyear statistics show Part 1 crimes down 2%, Part 2 crimes down 3% and property crimes down 7.6% compared with the prior reporting period, the chief said.
On the school safety position, the chief said the SRO will be Leticia Serrano, identified as a Waterford native who previously patrolled the community and will serve under funding from the school district. The chief cautioned that, because department staffing levels have dipped — he said the agency is down about 17 deputies — Serrano’s full-time transfer to the school may be delayed; she is expected to begin auxiliary duties at school events and safety meetings and could be fully assigned in December when staffing permits.
The chief also praised the department’s investigative work in a recent arrest of a person alleged to have targeted young females; he said detectives quickly obtained warrants and arrested the suspect, who remains in custody. The chief and council members also thanked staff and volunteers for a successful National Night Out event.
No formal council action was taken on these operational updates; the SRO assignment involves funding from the Waterford School District and will require internal staffing adjustments before the officer’s full-time transfer.","The police chief reported a year-to-date reduction in Part 1 crimes by 2%, Part 2 crimes by 3% and property crimes by 7.6%; July had 294 calls for service.
