CITY OF ARVIN
Staff Report
Meeting Date: December 9, 2025
TO: Arvin City Council
FROM: Bonique Emerson, AICP, Consultant Planner
Jeff Jones, City Manager
SUBJECT: Introduction to the Formation of Community Facilities Districts for New Developments within the City of Arvin.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council receive a presentation introducing the concept of forming Community Facilities Districts (“CFDs”) and the present need for such districts within the City of Arvin.
Introduction:
Vesting Tentative Tract Map (“VTM”) No. 7385, approved by the Council in 2022 and extended in January 2025, proposes to divide two existing parcels (APN 189-352-02 and -08) located at the southeast corner of Sycamore Road and Derby Street and consisting of ±61.6 acres into 4 commercial lots, 3 industrial lots, 2 medium density residential lots, and 2 high density residential lots
As part of the conditions of approval of VTM 7385, the subdivider, at their own expense, is required to become part of a Community Facilities District (“CFD”) to address services such as fire, police, storm drainage maintenance, road infrastructure maintenance, or similar services that are necessitated by, or in support of, VTM 7385. The CFD would establish a boundary in which a special tax would be levied against properties within the boundary to fund improvements to infrastructure and city services. As development occurs in the City, the costs of providing certain infrastructure and/or services to new developments are greater than property taxes alone can support. CFDs provide additional funding for these services.
As there are no existing CFDs within the City, and no work has previously been done to establish such districts, the subdivider has agreed to fund a study that would support the formation of CFDs within Arvin. City staff will work with the contracted consultants and subdivider to assist in evaluating this work and navigating the CFD formation process. Once the study has been finalized, Staff will have the necessary information to develop the necessary legal documentation and proposed rate and method of apportionment for the special tax, which are critical components needed to initiate the CFD formation process. These initiation proceedings will be presented to the Council for consideration in the future.
Given that CFDs have never been formed in the City, this report aims to provide helpful introductory information to the Council in advance of those formal proceedings.

Staff Report re CFD Introductory Information
Discussion:
What is a Community Facilities District (CFD)?
A Community Facilities District, often referred to as a “Mello-Roos District”, is a special financing district authorized under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982. CFDs allow local government agencies, such as cities, to fund public improvements, infrastructure, and/or services that benefit a specific area. Property owners within the CFD boundaries pay a special tax, which is in addition to their regular property taxes. This special tax is not based on the assessed value of the property but is levied according to a specific Rate and Method of Apportionment (RMA) determined at the time the CFD is formed. The special tax constitutes a lien on the properties within the district.
What can CFDs Fund?
CFDs offer a flexible financing tool for a wide range of public improvements and some ongoing services. Eligible uses include, but are not limited to:
• Public infrastructure: Construction, acquisition, rehabilitation, and expansion of streets, roadways, traffic signals, water and wastewater facilities, storm drains, parks, open space, landscaping, libraries, public safety facilities (police and fire stations), and other public buildings.
• Public Services: Provision of certain ongoing services such as police and fire protection, maintenance of parks, parkways, and open spaces, and costs associated with the cleanup of hazardous substances.
For a project like VTM 7385, a CFD could potentially help fund public realm improvements, infrastructure enhancements necessitated by the project, the ongoing maintenance of publicly accessible amenities, and ongoing public safety services (i.e., police and fire).
How are CFDs Formed?
The formation of a CFD is a public process governed by state law and typically involves the following key steps:
1. Initiation: The process can be initiated by the legislative body (City Council), or by petition from landowners or registered voters within the proposed district. For a development project, this is often a collaborative effort between the City and the developer whereby the developer submits a petition requesting the City form the CFD on its behalf.
2. Resolution of Intention: The City Council would adopt a Resolution of Intention to form the CFD, defining its boundaries, the types of facilities and/or services to be financed, describing the proposed special tax and the intention to issue bonds to pay for the public facilities.
3. Public Hearing: A noticed public hearing is held to consider the formation of the CFD and the necessity to incur bonded indebtedness and to hear public testimony.
4. Election: The establishment of the CFD and the levying of the special tax and the issuance of bonds must be approved by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of qualified electors within the proposed district.
• If there are 12 or more registered voters residing within the proposed district, the vote is conducted among those registered voters.
• If there are fewer than 12 registered voters (which is common in areas slated for new development where the developer is the primary landowner), the vote is conducted among the landowners, with each landowner entitled to one vote for each acre or portion of an acre the landowner owns within the CFD. In such cases, the developer(s) are often the primary voters.
4.B.2
Attachment: Staff Report Intro to Formation of CFDs_120925 (Presentation: Intro to Formation of CFD's)
Staff Report re CFD Introductory Information
5. Ordinance: If the voters approve the levying of the special tax and the issuance of bonds, an ordinance is introduced after the public hearing and subsequently adopted levying the special tax on taxable property in the CFD
6. Notice of Special Tax Lien: If approved, a Notice of Special Tax Lien is recorded, formally establishing the CFD and the special tax obligation on properties within its boundaries.
Fiscal Impact
This is an informational report, and no immediate fiscal impact is associated with it. It should be noted that the subdivider of VTM 7385 is paying for the costs of consultants to form the CFD, along with any additional staff time required for formation. The fiscal implications of forming a CFD, including revenue generation and administrative costs, will be analyzed and presented in detail in potential future study sessions and as part of the formal CFD formation proceedings.

Staff Report – Maddy Act – Local Appointments List 2026.
CITY OF ARVIN
Staff Report
Meeting Date: December 09, 2025
TO: Arvin City Council
FROM: Cecilia Vela, City Clerk
Jeff Jones, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arvin Regarding the Preparing of the 2026 Local Appointments List and Posting of the Same.
BACKGROUND:
The Legislature enacted Government Code Section 54970, also known as "The Maddy Act" to increase public awareness of appointments to be made by any local government. It provides equal access to information about local regulating and advisory boards, commissions, and committees, allowing citizens to participate in local government operations by serving on such bodies. Government Code Section 54972 requires each legislative body to prepare, on or before December 31st of each year, a “Local Appointments List” of all regular and ongoing boards, commissions and committees which are appointed by the legislative body of the local agency. The City Clerk will post the Local Appointments List upon the City Council’s approval of the attached Resolution.
Government Code Sections 54970 – 54974, providing further information related to the Maddy Act, are listed below.
GOVERNMENT CODE
TITLE 5. LOCAL AGENCIES [50001 - 57607]
CHAPTER 11. Local Appointments List [54970 - 54974]
54970.
(a) The Legislature finds and declares that a vast and largely untapped reservoir of talent exists among the citizenry of the State of California, and that rich and varied segments of this great human resource are, all too frequently, not aware of the many opportunities which exist to participate in and serve on local regulatory and advisory boards, commissions, and committees.
(b) The Legislature further finds and declares that the general public of this state has traditionally been denied access to information regarding vacancies which occur on such boards, commissions, and committees, thereby denying most citizens and interest groups the opportunity to nominate for consideration by the respective appointive powers persons whose particular strengths, backgrounds, experience, perspective, and talents might contribute significantly to efficient and representative policy development and administration in local government.
(c) The Legislature further finds and declares that the respective local appointive powers have been denied access to a talent resource hitherto untapped.
(d) The Legislature further finds and declares that all citizens of the state, regardless of their place of residence should have equal access to specific and current information about the many local regulating and advisory boards, commissions, and committees and equal opportunity to be informed of vacancies which shall occur thereon, so that they may pursue the opportunity to participate in and contribute to the operations of local government by serving on such boards, commissions, and committees. (e) It is therefore the intent of the Legislature that this chapter shall apply to all cities and all counties throughout California, including charter cities and charter counties.
6.D.1
Attachment: Staff Report - Maddy Act - Local Appointments List 2026_120925 (2026 Local Appointments List (Maddy Act))
Staff Report – Maddy Act – Local Appointments List 2026. 54971.
As used in this chapter:
(a) “Legislative body” means the board of supervisors or its chairman in the case of the county, or the city council or the mayor in the case of a city.
(b) “Local agency” means a county or city, whether chartered or general law. 54972.
On or before December 31 of each year, each legislative body shall prepare an appointments list of all regular and ongoing boards, commissions, and committees which are appointed by the legislative body of the local agency. This list shall be known as the Local Appointments List. The list shall contain the following information:
(a) A list of all appointive terms which will expire during the next calendar year, with the name of the incumbent appointee, the date of appointment, the date the term expires, and the necessary qualifications for the position. (b) A list of all boards, commissions, and committees whose members serve at the pleasure of the legislative body, and the necessary qualifications for each position.
54973.
The Local Appointments List shall be made available to members of the public for a reasonable fee which shall not exceed actual cost. The legislative body shall either post a copy of the list on its Internet Web site or designate the public library with the largest service population within its jurisdiction to receive a copy of the list. 54974.
(a) Whenever an unscheduled vacancy occurs in any board, commission, or committee for which the legislative body has the appointing power, whether due to resignation, death, termination, or other causes, a special vacancy notice shall be posted in the office of the clerk of the local agency, on either the local agency’s Internet Web site or at the library designated pursuant to Section 54973, and in other places as directed by the legislative body, not earlier than 20 days before or not later than 20 days after the vacancy occurs. Final appointment to the board, commission, or committee shall not be made by the legislative body for at least 10 working days after the posting of the notice in the clerk’s office.
(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), the legislative body may, if it finds that an emergency exists, fill the unscheduled vacancy immediately. A person appointed to fill the vacancy shall serve only on an acting basis until the final appointment is made pursuant to this section.

FROM: Sam Lux, City Engineer
Jeffrey Jones, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arvin Approving Final Parcel Map 12643 and Deferred Off-Site Improvement Agreement with AMG & Associates, LLC.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Approve Final Parcel Map 12643 submitted by AMG & Associates, LLC; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Deferred Off-Site Improvement Agreement subject to the approval of the City Attorney; and
3. Authorize the City Clerk to record the map with the Kern County Clerk of the Board upon written verification by the City Engineer that all conditions of approval have been satisfied.
BACKGROUND:
On October 15, 2024, the Arvin Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider Tentative Parcel Map PM 2024-WSR-01, which proposes a minor land division of APN 192- 170-06 (17.94 acres) into two (2) parcels and one (1) remainder located along the north side of West Sycamore Road, west of Stockton Avenue, and east of Meyer Road. The map is intended to allow phased multi-family residential development consistent with the MDR (Medium Density Residential) General Plan designation and R-3 zoning district.
After receiving agency comments, making CEQA findings, and imposing conditions of approval, the Planning Commission approved the tentative map subject to:
1. Right-of-way dedications for West Sycamore Road (110’ ROW), Schipper Avenue (50’ ROW), and Stockton Avenue (50’ ROW);
2. A Deferred Off-Site Improvement Agreement, executed pursuant to Subdivision Map Act § 66411.1 to allow future roadway and utility improvements to occur concurrent with development; and
3. Completion of all required certificates and conditions prior to recordation.

The City Engineer and City Surveyor are reviewing the final map for compliance with all dedications, certificates, and conditions.
Per Arvin Municipal Code § 16.28.080 and Government Code § 66458, the City Council must approve the final map before it can be recorded. Recordation must be deferred until all required conditions, including the execution of the Deferred Off-Site Improvement Agreement, are satisfied and verified by the City Engineer. The City Clerk will then coordinate recordation with the County Clerk of the Board.

The Planning Commission previously determined that the tentative map is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15315 (Minor Land Divisions). No further environmental review is required for approval or recordation of the final map.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The processing of the parcel map is full cost recovery under City Council adopted fee schedules.
No General Fund impact is anticipated.

Following an email from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) received July 15, 2025, notifying the City that the latest adopted amendments to the City’s Accessory Dwelling Unit (“ADU”) Ordinance, adopted February 11, 2025, were still not in complete alignment with statutory requirements and State ADU law, Staff has prepared Zoning Code Amendment (“ZCA”) 2025-01 to amend Title 17, Chapter 17.51-Accessory Dwelling Units to address the issues identified by HCD.
Applicable Codes and Procedures:
AMC 17.51 – Accessory Dwelling Units
CA GOV Code Sections 66310-66342
City Council Resolution No. 2017-92 authorizes the City Manager to bring forward various code amendments whenever the public necessity, convenience, general welfare, or good practices justify such action. The City Manager has recommended that the Planning Commission and City Council amend various sections of Chapter 17.51-Accessory Dwelling Units.
Background:
The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2023-486 on October 24, 2023, amending Title 17 to add Chapter 17.51-Accessory Dwelling Units to meet statutory requirements related to permitting Accessory Dwelling Units (“ADUs”) within the city. Following adoption, the Ordinance was provided to HCD for review to ensure compliance with State ADU law.
On September 23, 2024, HCD provided their review, which included several required amendments in order for the Ordinance to comply with State ADU law. Staff prepared the required amendments

Staff Report re ADU Ordinance Amendments (ZCA 25-01)
and a response letter, which was sent on October 16, 2024, requesting additional review of the Ordinance. Staff was then advised that HCD does not review draft ordinances, and instead, the City would need to adopt the new ordinance before it could be reviewed. On February 11, 2025, the revised Ordinance (Ord No. 497) was adopted by City Council, becoming effective 30 days later. The revised Ordinance was again sent to HCD for review.
On July 15, 2025, HCD sent an email to the City Planner stating that this revised ordinance addressed “some, but not all” of the issues identified in HCD’s September 23, 2024 letter. In order to ensure compliance with State ADU law, Staff has made the requested revisions to Chapter
17.51-Accessory Dwelling Units.
On November 4, 2025, the Planning Commission, at a duly noticed Special Meeting thereof, approved a Resolution recommending the City Council adopt an ordinance approving Zoning Code Amendment 2025-01 and associated CEQA Notice of Exemption. The Planning Commission also received a comment letter from the California Housing Defense Fund (“CalHDF”) regarding its recommended modifications to the ordinance to comply with state law.
The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed the November 4, 2025 CalHDF letter and made additional, clarifying modifications to the proposed Ordinance that are consistent with the substantive provisions the Planning Commission reviewed. Accordingly, further Planning Commission consideration is not required under Government Code section 65857.
On November 17, 2025, the City Council conducted a public hearing, wherein there was no public testimony, introduced the ordinance by title only, and scheduled the second public hearing, second reading, and final adoption of the ordinance for December 9, 2025.
Analysis:
Based upon the comments provided by HCD in the email dated July 15, 2025, and the statutory requirements of State ADU law, Staff is presenting the proposed ZCA to Title 17, Chapter 17.51- Accessory Dwelling Units. The proposed ordinance amendment has proposed additions underlined in red and proposed deletions struck through in red so that the proposed changes are highlighted for the reader. The Draft Ordinance, which shows the proposed additions and deletions, is attached as Attachment A.
Staff recommends that the City Council waive the second reading of and adopt the ordinance by title only. Upon final adoption of the ADU Ordinance by the City Council, as required under GOV Code Section 66326(a), the City will again submit a copy of the Ordinance to HCD within 60 days for review.
Staff will return with additional updates to its ADU ordinance in early 2026 to account for recent updates to state law. Governor Newsom signed four ADU bills into law last month: AB 462, AB 1154, SB 9 and SB 543. AB 462 was enacted as an urgency measure and took immediate effect when signed on October 10, 2025. AB 1154, SB 9 and SB 543 were enacted on the same day but as non-urgency measures, so they take effect on January 1, 2026.
Environmental Review:
The environmental impacts of the Project have been analyzed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). Staff recommend that the City Council find and determine

Therefore, the Project is statutorily exempt from CEQA review, and a Notice of Exemption has been prepared.
Public Hearing Notice:
Public hearing notices were posted in three public places within the City of Arvin: 1) Arvin City Hall, 2) Arvin Police Department, and 3) Community Development Building; and posted on the City of Arvin’s website (www.arvin.org), on November 24, 2025, providing a 10-day review.
Fiscal Impact:
There are no additional fiscal impacts associated with adoption of this ordinance, other than the staff time spent preparing it.
City Council Action:
The City Council will be acting on ZCA 2025-01 and consider whether to:
1. Conduct a second reading of and adopt an ordinance approving Zoning Code Amendment 2025-01 amending Chapter 17.51-Accessory Dwelling Units.

If the permit application to create a JADU is submitted with a permit application to create a new single-family dwelling on the lot, the permitting agency may delay approving or denying the permit application for the JADU until the permitting agency acts on the permit application to create the new single-family dwelling, but the application to create the JADU shall still be considered ministerially without discretionary review or a hearing. If the applicant requests a delay, the 60-day time period shall be tolled for the period of the delay. Should the application to create a JADU be denied, the city shall, within sixty (60) days, return in writing a full set of comments to the applicant with a list of items that are defective or deficient and a description of how the application can be remedied.

CITY OF ARVIN
Staff Report
Meeting Date: December 09, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem and Members of City Council FROM: Jeff Jones, City Manager
Stephanie Gutierrez, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Adoption and Second Reading of Ordinance Amending AMC Chapter 2.24 to Designate City Council as Planning Agency
BACKGROUND:
At the October 28, 2025, City Council meeting, the Council reviewed the current structure and function of the Planning Commission, including the possibility of its dissolution. Staff presented an overview of Planning Commission meetings held since 2021, the advantages and disadvantages of the Planning Commission, along with relevant sections of the Government Code that outline the legal framework for establishing local planning agencies.
After deliberation, the City Council unanimously directed staff to prepare an ordinance dissolving the Planning Commission and designating the City Council as the City’s planning agency. Introduction and first reading of the Ordinance was approved by the City Council at their meeting of November 17, 2025.
Amendment of Arvin Municipal Code Chapter 2.24
California Government Code Sections 65100 and 65101 establish the authority for cities to create planning agencies. Section 65100 mandates that each city maintain a planning agency and provides flexibility in assigning planning responsibilities to a department, commission, or the legislative body.
Under Arvin Municipal Code Chapter 2.24, a five-member Planning Commission currently serves as the City’s planning agency. However, the City Council has directed staff to amend this Chapter to dissolve the Planning Commission and assume all planning functions. The proposed amendment to Chapter 2.24, attached hereto as Exhibit A, formally designates the City Council as the planning agency and defines its responsibilities, including but not limited to:
• Preparing and updating the General Plan
• Implementing zoning and subdivision ordinances
• Reviewing capital improvement programs
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council adopt the Ordinance Amending AMC Chapter 2.24 to Designate City Council as Planning Agency.

Staff Report
Meeting Date: December 9, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem and Members of City Council FROM: Jeff Jones, City Manager
Stephanie Gutierrez, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance Amending AMC Sections 2.06.090 and 2.060.100 Regarding Administrative Authority of the City Manager BACKGROUND:
On October 28, 2025, the City Council formally decided that the positions of City Manager and Finance Director will be held by two separate individuals going forward. Accordingly, staff determined that amendments to the Arvin Municipal Code (AMC) are necessary to ensure consistency with both Council direction and state law.
California Government Code
The authority and limitations governing the council-manager form of government are established by California Government Code Section 34851 et seq., which outlines the respective powers and responsibilities of the city council and the city manager. The city manager has the authority to appoint and remove the chief of police and other subordinate appointed officers and employees, except for the city attorney.
Amendment of Arvin Municipal Code Sections 2.06.090 and 2.06.100 Currently AMC Sections 2.06.090 and 2.06.100 expressly exclude the Finance Director position from the City Manager’s appointment and administrative authority. Based on the statutory framework provided by California Government Code Section 34856, the authority to appoint the Finance Director resides with the City Manager. The proposed ordinance, attached as Exhibit A, grants the City Manager the authority to direct and oversee all department heads, including the Finance Director, subject to adherence to all applicable personnel ordinances, rules, regulations, and state law.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council introduce by title only and waive further reading of an Ordinance Amending AMC Sections 2.06.090 and 2.060.100 Regarding Administrative Authority of the City Manager.

Staff Report re ACSD Deferred Improvement Agreement
CITY OF ARVIN
Staff Report
Meeting Date: December 9, 2025
TO: Arvin City Council
FROM: Isaiah Medina, Consultant Planner
Bonique Emerson, AICP, Consultant Planner
Jeff Jones, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arvin Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Deferred Improvement Agreement Between the City of Arvin and Arvin Community Services District for Solar Array Site Development Permit.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council:
1. Make a determination as to whether to require a surety mechanism; and
2. Approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the proposed agreement.
Executive Summary:
SitelogIQ, on behalf of Arvin Community Services District (“ACSD”), has requested a Deferred Improvement Agreement to defer the completion of certain improvements required as conditions of approval for the development in order to receive a Final Inspection and final electricity clearance prior to the NEM2 subset date of April 15, 2026.
Background:
SitelogIQ, on behalf of Arvin Community Services District, received approval for a Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Permit for an approximately 6.84-acre solar array located at the southwest corner of Meyer Street and Celestial Way that would provide sustainable electricity generation for the nearby ACSD well sites #11 and #16 in an effort to lower costs for ratepayers.
In order to maintain eligibility for Net Energy Monitoring (“NEM”) 2 from PG&E, final electricity clearance must be granted by April 15, 2026. In order for ACSD to receive final electricity clearance, ACSD must comply with all conditions of approval prior to final inspection and sign off by the Building Official. Included in the conditions of approval were the installation of certain improvements along Celestial Way, the northern boundary of the Project.
Discussion:
SitelogIQ has informed the City that ACSD would be unable to complete the installation of certain improvements required as conditions of approval prior to this deadline. In order to be able to receive final sign-off, SitelogIQ has requested deferral of completion of these improvements until July 31, 2027.
The improvements ACSD requests be deferred include:
8.A.1
Attachment: Staff Report Improvements Deferral_120925 (ACSD Deferred Improvement Agreement)
Staff Report re ACSD Deferred Improvement Agreement
• Improvement of Celestial Way to half-width roadway along project frontage per Plate R-1 • Improvement of Celestial Way to half-width roadway per Plate R-1, minus curb, gutter sidewalk, from western property boundary west to Rayo de la Luna Drive • Construction of a 6-foot-wide ADA compliant pedestrian path along the south side of Celestial Way from western property boundary west to Rayo de la Luna Drive • Installation of landscaping and irrigation systems along Celestial Way • Improvement of Meyer Street with an all-weather road surface along property frontage from Celestial Way south to unnamed road.
• Improvement of unnamed road with an all-weather road surface along property frontage from Meyer Street to west project boundary
Staff had internal discussions and determined that a deferral of these improvements may be granted, subject to bonding, or other such surety mechanism, by ACSD. ACSD has requested that no such surety be required.
Staff is requesting the City Council make a determination as to whether a surety shall be required as part of the Deferred Improvement Agreement between ACSD and the City. Sureties, such as a cash deposit, a surety bond, or irrevocable instrument of credit, are often required to guarantee the installation of the Improvements. This surety is often in an amount equal to the estimated cost of the improvements.
Additionally, while the Arvin Municipal Code (“AMC”) does not provide a process for deferral of improvements related to development projects, Title 16 Subdivisions does provide such process for subdivision maps. Such process allows deferral of conditioned improvements under a Completion Agreement. Such Completion Agreement shall be secured by one (1) of the following:
• A bond, or bonds, by one (1) or more duly authorized corporate sureties; • A deposit, either with the City or a responsible escrow agent or trust company selected by the City, or cash or negotiable bonds of the kind approved for securing deposits of public moneys;
• An irrevocable instrument of credit from one or more responsible financial institutions regulated by state or Federal government and pledging that the funds are on deposit and guaranteed for payment on demand by the City.
Under Title 16, the security shall be released upon the final completion and acceptance of the work by the Council. The Council may also release a portion of the security in conjunction with the acceptance of the performance of the work as it progresses. Alternatively, should the improvements fail to be completed within the time specified, the Council may determine the agreement to be in default and cause the security to be forfeited to the City.
Environmental Review:
The California Environmental Quality Act is not applicable to the approval of the proposed agreement because the agreement is not a “project” under CEQA Guidelines. The installation of the improvements themselves was previously assessed at the time of project approval and were determined to be Categorically Exempt under Sections 15304 and 15329 of the CEQA Guidelines.
City Council Action:
The City Council will be determining:
1. Whether a surety mechanism shall be required as part of the agreement; and

Staff Report re Reso Allocation of Funds Pursuant to the Fentanyl Misuse and Overdose Prevention Task Force Grant
CITY OF ARVIN
Staff Report
Meeting Date: December 9, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem and Members of City Council FROM: Joseph Hugget, Acting Chief of Police
Jeff Jones, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arvin Authorizing Allocation of Funds Pursuant to the Kern County Fentanyl Misuse and Overdose Prevention Task Force Fund Allocation Disbursement Agreement
BACKGROUND:
The County of Kern is the recipient of an allocation from the State of California under AB 33 (2023). The allocation is intended to enable public agencies, including the City of Arvin, to address fentanyl misuse by collecting and analyzing data, identifying sources and drivers of fentanyl and xylazine activity, raising public awareness, strengthening prevention efforts, and recommending model protocols for medication-assisted treatment (“Task Force Activities”). The City plans to use the $700,000 allocation to actively participate in Task Force initiatives and fulfill related responsibilities, which include attending regular meetings and submitting reports as required by the Task Force.
In 2024, the City of Arvin entered into an agreement with the County of Kern for Fentanyl Misuse and Overdose Prevention Task Force Fund Allocation Disbursement (“Agreement”). The Agreement provided the City the opportunity to utilize the funds for the purposes of preventing, enforcing, and treating fentanyl misuse as described. The term of the original Agreement was from July 16, 2024, through January 1, 2026. Recently, the County and the City amended the Agreement to extend the term by four months to allow City to allocate Funds in accordance with the Agreement by December 31, 2025, and expend Funds by April 30, 2026.
Regular City Council of October 14, 2025
Staff developed a proposed spending plan with estimated allocations for review and discussion by the City Council. Following deliberation at its October 14th regular meeting, the Council unanimously approved the proposed allocations. To formalize this approval, staff worked with the City Attorney’s office to prepare a resolution.
Formal Allocation of Funds Pursuant to the Agreement
The City must allocate the Fentanyl Misuse and Overdose Prevention Task Force Grant funds (“Funds”) by December 31, 2025. To fulfill this requirement, staff has prepared a resolution for City Council review that authorizes the distribution of funds for designated purchases in
8.B.1
Attachment: Staff Report - Reso Allocation of Funds Pursuant to the Fentanyl Misuse and Overdose Prevention Task Force Grant_120925
Staff Report re Reso Allocation of Funds Pursuant to the Fentanyl Misuse and Overdose Prevention Task Force Grant accordance with the Agreement. The proposed resolution allocating the Funds is attached hereto as Exhibit “A.” The resolution allocates the funds as follows:
1. Warrant Preparation Software. The acquisition of warrant preparation software will significantly improve officers’ ability to efficiently draft affidavits in support of search warrants. This system enhances accuracy, promotes legal defensibility, and reduces time spent on document preparation.
2. Skiptracing and Investigative Software. Skiptracing and investigative software enhances officers’ ability to locate suspects involved in drug-related crimes and uncover hidden associations between individuals engaged in narcotics trafficking. This tool provides advanced analytical capabilities, relationship mapping, and intelligence support for drug-related investigations.
3. Community Engagement Tents. These pop-up tents will be customized with department logos and anti-fentanyl messaging, ensuring a strong visual presence at community events. They will serve as designated engagement spaces where officers can interact with residents, distribute educational materials, and build community trust while raising awareness regarding the dangers of fentanyl use.
4. Police Patrol Bicycles. Community policing bicycles will allow officers to engage directly with members of the public in a more personal and accessible manner. By patrolling on bicycles rather than in vehicles traveling 30–40 mph, officers can build meaningful relationships, increase visibility within neighborhoods, and foster an environment of trust and approachability.
5. Police Patrol Bicycle Safety Accessories and Training by POST. To safely implement a bicycle patrol program, officers will require proper safety equipment and specialized training. Protective gear ensures compliance with safety standards, while POST-approved training provides officers with the knowledge and skills needed to deploy bicycles in both routine and emergency situations.
6. Patrol Computer Laptops Upgrade. Ruggedized patrol laptop upgrades will replace aging equipment and provide officers with modern hardware capable of supporting updated software and technology platforms. These devices offer improved durability, performance, and integration with departmental systems, enhancing officer productivity and ensuring reliable access to mission-critical data.
7. Veterans Hall Communications Equipment and Installation. This investment will modernize communications capabilities at the Veterans Hall, enabling it to serve as a hub for community outreach and fentanyl-awareness education. Officers will regularly use the venue for public meetings designed to strengthen community relationships and deliver vital information regarding the risks associated with fentanyl.
8. Police Dispatch Console Upgrade. Upgraded dispatch consoles will provide two dispatch positions with modern, integrated, turnkey communication systems. Dispatchers are the critical link between the public and responding officers, particularly during highrisk narcotics-related calls.
9. Police Tactical Radio System. A five-year tactical radio system subscription will equip officers with advanced communication tools necessary during drug-trafficking investigations and tactical operations. This system provides secure channels, enhanced situational awareness, and improved coordination in dynamic environments where communication is essential for officer safety and mission success.
10. Cellebrite Digital Investigative Solutions. This tool allows officers to lawfully extract, analyze, and manage digital evidence from electronic devices. The ability to rapidly

Any remaining balance of the Funds will be used for administrative costs, not to exceed $35,000.
Administrative costs reflects the staff time, expertise, and logistical coordination required to manage the grant. This includes the development of the spending plan, monitoring expenditures, ensuring compliance with state funding rules, preparing documentation, and coordinating the procurement process.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council adopt a Resolution Authorizing Allocation of Funds Pursuant to the Fentanyl Misuse and Overdose Prevention Task Force Grant, attached as Exhibit “A.” FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City has been awarded $700,000 in grant funding to support efforts in preventing, enforcing, and treating fentanyl misuse. This allocation will have no impact on the City’s general fund.

CITY OF ARVIN
Staff Report
Meeting Date: December 9, 2025

CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY (KERN COUNTY ASSESSOR'S PARCEL
NO. 190-270-05-00-0) AS EXEMPT SURPLUS PROPERTY AND A
RESOLUTION OF THE SAME BODY APPROVING THE CONVEYANCE
OF SUCH PROPERTY TO THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION:
The City of Arvin, acting as the Successor Agency to the Arvin Community Redevelopment Agency (the "City"), holds title to real property located at the northeast corner of State Route 223 and Bear Mountain Boulevard (North Walnut Street) identified as Kern County Assessor's Parcel No. 190-270-05-00-0 (the “Property”). The small, 1,949 square foot Property is illustrated in the attached parcel map.
The California Department of Transportation (“Caltrans”), a state agency with eminent domain authority, has determined that the Property (Caltrans Parcel No. 89455, is necessary for a state transportation project on SR 223. Caltrans has presented the Successor Agency with a formal acquisition offer, together with a Right of Way Contract, Grant Deed, and related acquisition documents.
The Caltrans project on SR 223 is designed to preserve and extend the service life and improve ride comfort of the existing pavement, as well as to enhance pedestrian access and safety. The proposed work includes:
• Resurfacing the existing roadway;
• Modifying and upgrading existing pedestrian facilities, including ADA-compliant curb ramps, high-visibility crosswalks, and bulbouts;
• Installing accessible pedestrian signal equipment and traffic management systems elements; and
• Replacing existing grates with bicycle-friendly grates.
Caltrans has presented the Successor Agency with a formal acquisition offer and associated documents, including a Right of Way Contract and Grant Deed, for a total compensation amount

Attachment: Staff Report - Caltrans Property Acquisition_120925 (Successor Agency - Caltrans Property Acquisition (CalTrans Parcel No.
Staff Report – Successor Agency – Caltrans Property Acquisition (APN 190-270-05-00-0) of $2,250. Of this amount, $1,000 is a limited-duration incentive that expires on December 19, 2025, meaning the City must accept and execute the acquisition documents before that date to receive the full compensation amount.
Under the Surplus Land Act, transfers of property to another state agency for its governmental use, such as a Caltrans transportation project, qualify as exempt surplus land pursuant to Government Code § 54221(f)(1)(D). The first Resolution would declare the Property exempt surplus land. The second resolution would approve the conveyance documents and authorizes the City Manager/Successor Agency Executive Director to execute the Right of Way Contract, Grant Deed, and all related closing documents required by Caltrans.
Approval of these items will allow the project to move forward and avoid the need for Caltrans to initiate eminent domain proceedings.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Successor Agency will receive $2,250 in compensation from Caltrans upon completion of the transaction, provided acceptance occurs before December 19, 2025. There is no impact to the City’s General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council, acting as the Successor Agency:
1. Adopt the Resolution declaring the Property as exempt surplus land pursuant to Government Code § 54221(f)(1)(D); and
2. Adopt the Resolution approving the conveyance to Caltrans, authorizing the City Manager/Successor Agency Executive Director to execute all documents necessary to complete the transaction.
