A PROCLAMATION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WINTERS WHEREAS, libraries are not just about what they have for people, but what they do for and with people; WHEREAS, libraries have long served as trusted and treasured institutions, and library workers and librarians fuel efforts to better their communities, campuses and schools; WHEREAS, librarians are leaders in their institutions and organizations, in their communities, in the nation and in the world; WHEREAS, libraries are at the heart of our cities, towns, schools and campuses, providing critical resources, programs and expertise; WHEREAS, librarians continue to lead the way in leveling the playing field for all who seek information and access to technologies; WHEREAS, libraries and librarians look beyond their traditional roles and provide transformative opportunities for education, employment, entrepreneurship, empowerment and engagement, as well new services that connect closely with patrons’ needs; WHEREAS, libraries and librarians lead their communities in innovation, providing STEAM programing, Makerspaces and access and training for new technologies; WHEREAS, libraries are pioneers supporting democracy and effecting social change, with a commitment to providing equitable access to information for all library users regardless of race, ethnicity, creed, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity or socio-economic status; WHEREAS, libraries lead in working with diverse communities, including people of color, immigrants and people with disabilities, offering services and educational resources that transform communities, open minds and promote inclusion and diversity; WHEREAS, libraries provide a public space where all community members, regardless of age, culture or income level, can come together to connect and learn. WHEREAS, libraries, librarians, library workers and supporters across America are celebrating National Library Week. 5

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED on behalf of the City of Winters, we do hereby recognize the month of April as National Library Week April 19-25. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Winters hereby PASSED AND ADOPTED, this 21 Day of April, 2026 Council Member Richard Casavecchia Council Member Jesse Loren Council Member Carol Scianna Mayor Pro Tem Bill Biassi Mayor Albert Vallecillo 6

APROCLAMATION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WINTERS RECOGNIZING APRIL AS CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH WHEREAS, child abuse and neglect continue to pose serious threats to our nation’s children; and WHEREAS, April is dedicated to raising awareness and taking action to prevent child abuse and neglect. Every child deserves to grow up in a safe, nurturing, and stable environment, yet child abuse remains a widespread issue in our communities. However, it is preventable. Each April, communities join the national movement for Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) Month to raise awareness about the preventability of child abuse and take action to support children and families; and WHEREAS, in 2025, Yolo County Child Welfare Services investigated allegations of suspected child abuse and/or neglect involving 725 children. While not every allegation was substantiated, 125 Yolo County children entered foster care in 2025, underscoring the ongoing challenges families face. Of particular concern, despite making up only 2.5% of Yolo County’s child population, Black children ages 0–5 accounted for 15% of entries into foster care in 2025, highlighting the urgent need for intentional, culturally responsive prevention efforts; and WHEREAS, preventing child abuse and neglect is a collective responsibility that requires a community-wide effort. Research shows that strong, supportive relationships can serve as a protective factor against childhood trauma. This year’s CAP Month theme, “Strong Families, Safe Futures,” and tagline, “When We Care Together, Families Thrive,” reflect what the Yolo County Child Abuse Prevention Council (CAPC) knows to be true: the most effective way to keep children safe is to strengthen the families and communities around them before a crisis ever occurs. Thriving children require connection, collective responsibility, and a community that shows up; and WHEREAS, the Child Abuse Prevention Council (CAPC) of Yolo County, a Yolo County Children’s Alliance (YCCA) program, coordinates the community’s efforts to prevent and respond to child abuse and neglect. The CAPC provides a forum for interagency cooperation in the prevention, detection, intervention, treatment, and legal processing of child abuse; promotes public awareness of abuse, neglect, and available resources; connects professionals to training; recommends improvements to family services; and mobilizes community support for child abuse prevention programs. Its members include representatives from Child Welfare Services, the criminal justice system, prevention and treatment services, and the broader community; and 7

WHEREAS, Yolo County residents are encouraged to support child abuse prevention efforts by participating in local activities and initiatives that promote strong, healthy families. The “Strong Families, Safe Futures” campaign invites the entire community to take action this April: wearing blue on April 10 — Wear Blue Day — in solidarity with children and families; visiting Pinwheel Gardens across the county as a symbol of the bright futures every child deserves; participating in the Community Art Project to share a vision of a Yolo County where all families thrive; and amplifying prevention messages throughout the month. We each have a role to play in creating a future free from child abuse and neglect; and WHEREAS, in Yolo County, over 20 agencies and community organizations are collaborating in their efforts to prevent child abuse and neglect through the YCCA Yolo Family Strengthening Network; and WHEREAS, providing community-based prevention services can strengthen families and reduce the likelihood of child abuse and neglect. YCCA family strengthening programs include evidence-based home visiting, Family Resource Centers, safety net services, parenting classes and education, developmental screening, subsidized child care, and the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program (VITA), which returns critical resources directly to families. THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED, that the City Council of the City of Winters does hereby recognize the month of April 2026 to be “Child Abuse Prevention Month”. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Winters hereby PASSED AND ADOPTED, this 21 Day of April, 2026. Council Member Richard Casavecchia Council Member Jesse Loren Council Member Carol Scianna Mayor Pro Tem Bill Biassi Mayor Albert Vallecillo 8

Mosquito Control Matters FIGHT THE BITE Current Issues and Challenges Related to Mosquito Control Luz Maria Robles Public Information Officer 1 9

Mission: Protect Public Health •To provide safe, effective and economical mosquito and vector control. To accomplish this, we provide ongoing surveillance of mosquitoes and other vectors to determine the threat of disease transmission and lower annoyance levels. •District operates under the California Health and Safety Code 2 10

Mosquito season is here! • Late spring rain and very warm temperatures can create many mosquito breeding sources • West Nile threat continues as the mosquito season gets longer each year • Concern for dengue grows as more infections are reported each year in California 3 11

Different Mosquito Breeding Habitats 4 12

Integrated Mosquito Management Approach • Public Information • Surveillance • Biological Control • Ecological Management • Control Operations 5 13

California: Year Human Cases Potential Cases 2025 113 3,000-7,000 2024 129 3,000-9,000 2023 428 12,000-30,000 2022 208 6,000-15,000 2021 126 3,000-9,000 2020 231 6,000-15,000 **West Nile virus is extremely under reported. The Centers for Disease Control estimates that for every neuroinvasive case confirmed, there are 30-70 cases that are not unreported** WNV Activity 14

Detections of Invasive Mosquitoes • Aggressive day biting mosquitoes found for the first time in 2019 and have spread rapidly since then. • Winters has large established populations of invasive mosquitoes throughout the city. • Last year in California there 193 travel-related cases of dengue and 6 that were locally transmitted. 7 15

Innovative Mosquito Control Strategies Sterile Insect Technique: • Proven, environmentally friendly insect control method developed over 60 years ago • Uses the release of sterile male mosquitoes (including Wolbachia-based methods) • Sterile males mate with wild females, resulting in no offspring leading to a gradual and significant reduction in mosquito populations • SIT conducted as a pilot program in South Natomas in Sacramento County with positive results 8 16

Moving Forward • Expand SIT to other areas with high populations of invasive mosquitoes • Continue surveillance and control efforts • Explore more outreach opportunities in affected communities • Encourage public to report day biting mosquitoes, drain all water on their property, discard unwanted items that can collect water and scrub containers that are in use 9 17

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers DATE: April 21, 2026 FROM: Jeremy Craig, City Manager SUBJECT: Street Closure Request – Fourth Friday Car Show (4/24, 5/22, 6/26, 7/24, 8/28, 9/25) RECOMMENDATION: By Motion, approve the street closure request for the Fourth Friday Car Show on the fourth Friday of the months of April – September. Street Closure: Main Street from Elliott Street to First Street, and Railroad from Abbey to Russell St. BACKGROUND: In March, as part of the Spring Opening event, the proposed street closure was implemented to accommodate a car show. The popularity of the car show has led the Chamber of Commerce to request that it be held on the fourth Friday of each month from April through September. DISCUSSION: The Car show utilizes Main Street and Railroad Avenue to display several cars from a variety of area historic car clubs. The proposed closure would occur from 2:00 pm to 10:30 pm on each Fourth Friday, and Railroad traffic would be diverted around the closure via First Street, Abbey St, and Russell St. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no direct fiscal impact to the City, aside from administrative time to review the application and bring it before the City Council for approval, and staff time associated with Public Works employees staging and removing barricades in the closure area.

CITY OF WINTERS STAFF REPORT TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Jeremy Craig, City Manager DATE: April 21, 2026 SUBJECT: Award of Professional Services Contract for Tractor Parade Event Coordinator RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with West Construction, LLC (Leta and Alec Brassington) for tractor parade event coordination services in an amount not to exceed $40,000. BACKGROUND The City of Winters hosts the Annual Tractor Parade Weekend on the first weekend in December each year. It is a beloved community tradition that celebrates the region's agricultural heritage. The scope of experience and time required to plan and execute the event exceeds current city staff capacity, so to ensure high-quality event management and execution, the City initiated a competitive procurement process to select a qualified professional event coordinator. PROCUREMENT PROCESS In October 2025, the City solicited proposals from qualified event management professionals. The solicitation was structured to evaluate candidates based on relevant experience, proposed methodology, references, and cost. The following bids were received: Proposer Proposed Fee West Construction LLC, (Brassington) $40,000 Holden Events $28,500 TVCF $179,000 Bibbero $45,000 Please note that the incumbent event coordinator, BayAreaPopUp events, chose not to submit a formal RFP response because they felt that operating the parade for the past four years provided the City with adequate information to assess their qualifications, and they offered the same rate as the 2025 parade, $31,000.
