The manager said the Stanislaus Regional services meeting and budget subcommittee work are underway and that a new executive director, Lily, is getting acclimated in animal services. He reported that the animal-services budget proposal had previously been described as a 50% increase but that an update brought that estimate closer to 25%; he said the city will attend the upcoming SRHA budget meeting and work with partners to seek ways to reduce the increase where possible.

On solid waste, the manager said Hughson participates in a 10-year regional solid-waste contract that is being updated and includes a rate increase; he said the draft appears similar to other cities\u0000 agreements and contains a five-year opener.

Bridal said the person \"was involved in community events, local sporting groups, and and dedicated that service\" and described a large community turnout at memorial events. He provided a location and an address during his remarks and asked the city to \"improve the process\" and to add features such as a side place and a park of some sort so \"all the residents know who she was.\" Bridal asked that the park be named for the person.

Mayor Jim Crooker told Bridal the council could not take action on the request that evening because it was not on the agenda, and that the item would be scheduled for a future meeting so council could discuss it fully. Bridal said he and others would participate in that process.","A resident asked the Hughson City Council to consider naming a park and adding memorial features for a long-time local volunteer; the council said it cannot act on items not on the agenda and will place the request on a future meeting for discussion.",{"_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},6221061,"Hughson police report multiple burglary arrests; deputy assigned to city booked on felony charges",484,1386000,1870000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3615149-2b1b4709c351cdec63331abce3703af2&start=1386&end=1870","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3615149-2b1b4709c351cdec63331abce3703af2/thumbnail_1386000.jpg","/articles/6221061/Hughson-City/Stanislaus-County/California/Hughson-police-report-multiple-burglary-arrests-deputy-assigned-to-city-booked-on-felony-charges","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6221061-5ce6a163afaa43db415f42b41bd64159/orig.mp4?Expires=1776623418&Signature=lt0ZA8GQsSnpLIuSi~TWm3fpBUQXgjDxsEE-vq693PFxcgTA9JO8INN0C8meiJpM3lcxNp00jG3-GThB1z8pBoWCn31BQ99gKrMKSWvRcUZ2X-RXk9P5377GdIwEkybmi1DEqdXuHU2tlgqEjVjO8i-d4QgouWLeUfkruqsJ80V1b35DpRZ4V1zLKVvhMtypKUeKiQCshzCdR3gqiznObRQ3H3SGFN9YcnsBrWJDfRKIt~g95AJse0adyvOxdiKN5EDGwL2YrV65BZzQm9agNONH3JPQmgOKGEwpncZ4QIHQryz6yiyQhvUzQp4fmjFkMPdK3Sb4EAcvledjA2qbsQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Hughson's police chief told the council the department, working with the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office general crimes unit, made three arrests in investigations of recent burglaries and property thefts in new housing areas.

The chief said the investigations recovered evidence tied to about $15,000 in stolen property and that two arrests were made during an interrupted burglary with aerial support from the sheriff's office. The chief named one suspect as \"Adrian Ramirez\" and referenced another as \"Isaiah's\" in the presentation; he said some investigations remain open.

Separately, the chief reported that Deputy Morales, an employee of the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office assigned to Hughson as a patrol deputy, was booked into the Stanislaus County Jail on numerous felony charges. The chief read the charges as including multiple counts described in the transcript as \"oral population by a public official\" (involving adult victims), counts of kidnapping, an aggravated kidnapping count, and a count of solicitation of prostitution. He said the case was referred to the Stanislaus County District Attorney's Office for prosecution and that an internal administrative investigation would proceed.

The chief emphasized the need to preserve the integrity of ongoing investigations and noted the matter was being handled under established protocols. He also announced a new deputy, Eduardo Gutierrez, is scheduled to replace the arrested deputy this weekend. Council members thanked law enforcement and noted the arrest does not reflect on other deputies' service.","The police chief reported three arrests in a series of burglaries and described a separate case in which a deputy assigned to Hughson was booked on multiple felony counts; investigations are ongoing and the county district attorney will prosecute the deputy case.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6221066,"Council considers letter supporting conversion of 12 public-housing units to project-based vouchers",229,921000,1150000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3615149-2b1b4709c351cdec63331abce3703af2&start=921&end=1150","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3615149-2b1b4709c351cdec63331abce3703af2/thumbnail_921000.jpg","/articles/6221066/Hughson-City/Stanislaus-County/California/Council-considers-letter-supporting-conversion-of-12-public-housing-units-to-project-based-vouchers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6221066-ef47b3fec3e9813c6f2eb3f5757ec318/orig.mp4?Expires=1776623418&Signature=j70dCD2CzFr4sMBjGpfCLxjnE3nVbADxvsYgiWVLCvObiKG977JkUA-XSNSVeEEcS2pkz9FB1YZ2~kd-U5Kci31hfREU1m5E5guae6LsMdu8Devhyw9Xvmurdf1jKxgTHEMurMGULoFWL5HaZrq3SxE~7ZSOwTWWG-yAv6xMG9GWDAtMl2UD4gcbUywUb~WDMN287ZfYp6GFDWNXqiruxpkc1R8405gWpWHFZklknO0w4pw918CyqdBj9Wj5Q8tGQ9QWoeOYcJnKML~rDbovUj61pj8NpmPrGJzpN5hw00TOed9WoLB8YfJe3LsU1JzaCnwQizyXNWnhI5NBEqsrQQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hughson City Council heard a request from the Stanislaus Regional Housing Authority for a letter supporting the agency\u0000s application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to convert 12 units in the city from public housing to project-based vouchers.

Miss Domeney introduced the request and said the housing authority had provided a draft letter and needed an elected official to sign. Jim Cruz, executive director with the Stanislaus Regional Housing Authority, told the council the conversion changes the subsidy source from public housing to project-based Section 8. \"So essentially, you won't see any the tenants won't see anything that's changed,\" Cruz said. He said the authority plans to use a 20-year housing assistance payments contract to start, which could allow additional federal subsidy depending on future funding, and that after 12 months tenants would be able to use tenant-based vouchers to move to other units if funding is available.

Cruz said the conversion would free up equity for modernization and future development. He also told the council that affordability covenants and project-based subsidy requirements would remain in effect if a property were sold. The council opened the item for public comment and heard none. The transcript records a motion to consider and authorize the mayor to execute the letter; the final recorded vote on the authorization is not included in the transcript.","Stanislaus Regional Housing Authority requested a letter from Hughson City supporting conversion of 12 units from public housing to project-based vouchers; housing authority representatives described the conversion, financing rationale and tenant protections.",{"_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},6221071,"Hughson City Council accepts FY2023–24 audited financial report",418,508000,926000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3615149-2b1b4709c351cdec63331abce3703af2&start=508&end=926","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3615149-2b1b4709c351cdec63331abce3703af2/thumbnail_508000.jpg","/articles/6221071/Hughson-City/Stanislaus-County/California/Hughson-City-Council-accepts-FY202324-audited-financial-report","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6221071-53d08f029c28638d6660df6704a4b5b5/orig.mp4?Expires=1776623418&Signature=TU2uxZV8s1dm~NGM-TVnEGg3davcEmY8SwJavuSZFt6WyInItcEJxhegvHCTlYpOT3eAObbcKBp86QYPEmS1oVeyWeZm6W5gMJ25yiHrwdb7qe9rWQmQVqfIoH2aM9u~r-kkzAo83I6NOJZpretEbcMoMhZjaXRoT5mvBW7zp5wfzCHkomh5VaoU7N4FX8VhfKCoweF5G52sdIyrzw9tk0lQAWsVT8gxiuxFEWsq8VAltHnWyhPMtT7YwxJnmp53n2lh2n4~iMkqrM5wl4JHYtDVXm86QWQaCLlcR76Hva-u6FYytBS4J-ePyfOEExjwrc7i12yZTlCqODXgMoYTZA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hughson City Council on Tuesday accepted the city\u0000s fiscal year 2023\u000024 audited financial report after a presentation by finance staff.

Finance staff member Kim told the council the audit was a \"con-modified opinion,\" the highest audit opinion, and that the city's total net position was \"about a hundred and $8,000,000.\" Kim said about $41,793,000 was attributed to governmental activities and $66,000,006.87 to business-type activities, and that government fund revenues and transfers totaled $8,201,000, a roughly $1 million increase from the prior year.

The report listed several prior-period adjustments affecting enterprise funds. Kim said a $1,200,000 adjustment was made for the water fund to reflect a portion of well 9/10 funding reclassified as a loan; she said the total well cost was $12,000,000 and about $3,200,000 of that had been federally funded and considered a loan. Kim also described a $68,004.50 adjustment in the sewer fund and additional adjustments related to fixed assets. The city's net pension liability was reported as about $4,200,000.

Council members asked clarifying questions about unrestricted balances and fund totals. After public comment was closed, a motion to accept the audit report was made and seconded; the council recorded an aye vote from Council Member McFadden, Council Member Vasquez, Council Member Strain and Mayor Jim Crooker. Council members announced the motion passed unanimously.

The report and the numbers Kim summarized will be part of the record for budget discussions as staff continues work on the FY2025\u000026 budget and related subcommittee reviews.","The Hughson City Council reviewed and accepted the city\u0000s fiscal year 2023\u000024 audited financial report, which shows a total net position of about $108 million and several prior-period adjustments to enterprise funds.","actionData","errors"]
