Top issues during term (18)(Public Safety)
Police Department Staffing Decline
Keeping the cadets leaves about $669,000 in costs on the books that cutting would have saved.
Regional Fire Training MOU
No additional payment from Ceres; the city contributes its training grounds while partners provide training personnel.
Police Equipment Funding and Donations
The donated truck saves the city money now, but future fleet replacements will need budget planning.
CDBG Funds Redirected to Code Enforcement
Up to roughly $130,000 of federal grant money offsetting a general-fund code enforcement salary of about $125,000.
Fire District Annexation Revenue Sharing
No direct fiscal impact yet; future agreement aims to keep city revenue roughly whole.
Smyrna Park Safety
Measure L funds could potentially cover crosswalk lighting and red curb painting, subject to engineering studies.
Modesto Fire Protection Services Agreement
About $1.9 million in staffing savings since 2021; Ceres will pay roughly 29% of Engine 19 personnel costs going forward.
Fire Prevention Week and Lithium-Ion Battery Safety
Smyrna Park safety, speeding and parking
Safety upgrades are largely grant-funded; camera coverage gaps remain.
Illegal mobile food vending enforcement
Ceres Cemetery Protection
Unknown; Vierra and residents questioned who would pay for installation.
School resource officer contract with Ceres Unified
Lazy Wheels and Tuscany Village property conditions
Repeated police and code enforcement responses to the sites are draining staff time; the city is exploring liens to recover costs.
Potential litigation against or involving the City
Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Vehicle Purchase
$89,991.52 in abandoned vehicle abatement funds, on hold pending union consultation.
Khoshaba Tow Truck Lawsuit Settlement
Settlement terms not disclosed publicly.
County Regional Apprehension Team MOU
Not stated in the minutes.
emergency dispatch staffing
Fixing the staffing shortage will likely require the city to invest more tax dollars into higher pay or more hiring.
