A. None.

OLD BUSINESS:

A. None.

NEW BUSINESS:

A. Consider Suspending Tier III Water Conservation Measures for Water Year 2023/2023 (March 2023 – February 2024):

City Manager Lopez reported that as of May 2, 2023, City Staff was made aware of the Bureau of Reclamation’s announcement that Central Valley Project water contracts would be provided with 100% of contracted allocation (Attached). For the City of Avenal, that means 3,500-acre feet is being made available to use for the 2023-2024 water year (March 1, 2023 – February 29, 2024).

Staff is still awaiting to receive updated contract allocation letters from USBR. This is great news for the community, considering the very wet season the previous winter provided, and reports that 2023 will be an El Niño year, meaning higher than expected precipitation throughout the year. One important aspect to remember, that in order for the City to increase its historic allocation (actual used water during full 100% wet water allocation years), the City and community need to utilize as much of the 3,500 ac. ft. allocation to increase the historic allocation from the current 2,480 average. This means the water usage needs to increase ASAP to begin increasing the historic use. Staff is recommending that for the 2023-2024 water year, that Council suspend the currently enacted Tier III Water Conservation Measures, to be revisited in March 2024 pending a new water year and allocation. Speaking with Utilities Staff, we believe that even with the full allotment of 3,500 ac. ft., the community may only fully utilize 2,800 ac. ft., and the city may need to consider selling a portion of the allocation to another customer if possible. If any additional water is needed beyond the 3,500- ac. ft., currently Section 215 water is available at half the cost, but it will not count towards the historic use. Section 215 water is only.

Staff recommends by Resolution adopt a temporary suspension to the Tier III Water Conservation Measures for Water Year 2023/2023 (March 1, 2023 – February 29, 2024).

Councilman Verdugo motioned to approve temporary suspension to the Tier III Water Conservation Measures for Water Year 2023/2023 (March 1, 2023 – February 29, 2024), second by Councilman Hernandez and carried.

Roll Call Vote:

AYES: Verdugo, Hernández, Preciado.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 5. B
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Rob Williams, Public Works Director
DATE: May 25 2022
RE: Consider Amending 10-precent Retention for City Projects – Seventh Street Project & Community and Recreational Sports Center Project INFORMATION:

At the March 24, 2022, Avenal City Council meeting, the Council approved Resolutions 2022-17 through 2022-22 for retention on several Public Works road and construction projects. Given inflation and additional funding being allocated for two of these projects, Staff is asking the City Council to amend the retention amounts accordingly before moving forward with the projects. Below is an explanation to the retention requests from the previous staff report:

Recently, California Public Contractors Code 7201 (b) (4) now states that “notwithstanding” any provisions of this subdivision, the retention proceeds withheld from any payment by the city from contractor may exceed 5 percent on specific projects where the governing body of the public entity or designee, including a director of an appropriate department, has approved a finding during a properly noticed and normally scheduled public hearing prior to bid that project is substantially complex and, therefore requires a higher retention amount than 5 percent and the City includes both this findings and actual retention amount in the bid amount
RECOMMENDATION:

The Projects: Seventh Avenue Street Project (SR 269 to Highway 33); Community Building Projects, Whitney Street - Sewer Pipeline and Manhole Projects. These are complex projects due to the Safety and Health of the residents and, therefore, will require a higher retention in the amount of 10%. Additionally, the Community Center project is being added by an additional $3.5 million from CDBG, raising the project cost to over six million. The Seventh Avenue Street Project (SR 269 to Highway 33), will utilize more funding on account of inflation.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will increase the amount the City of Avenal can withhold from progress payments to successful bidder from 5% to 10% for the Projects, at the appropriate amended amount.

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council members
FROM: Ronald Brumley, Utilities Supervisor
Date: May 22, 2023
RE: Consider Expenditure of Funds to Repair Lift Pump No. 4 at Water Treatment Plant No. 2
INFORMATION:

Due to normal wear and tear, Water Treatment Plant No. 2 - Lift pump No. 4 has been sent in for inspection. The pump seized up during operation causing damage to the VFD. We were unable to unseize the pump and had to send it in for repairs. The last time this pump was rebuilt was over 9.5 years ago.

In the past, we have sent pumps to multiple companies for repairs. SCI has always given us the lowest price. In a situation like this where we are unsure of the exact problem, the companies must tear down the pump prior to giving us a quote. If we choose not to go with SCI, there will be a $5,710.00 charge for the disassembly of the pump and then we would have to go pick up the pump take to another company and hope that the repairs would be cheaper; however, there is no guarantee. I have included a quote for a new pump which I received in March of 2022.

SCI (Parts and Labor for repair/rebuild) $71,755.00 plus tax and freight
Rain for Rent (New Pump) March 2022 quote $148,440.00 plus tax RECOMMENDATION:

By motion: 1) approve expenditure of $71,755.00 plus tax and freight to SCI for parts and labor needed to repair lift pump No. 1; 2) use ARPA funds in the amount of $71,755.00. from the Water/Sewer/Broadband Infrastructure fund.

FISCAL IMPACT:
$71,755.00. from the Water/Sewer/Broadband Infrastructure fund.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 5- D
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Antony V. López, City Manager
DATE: May 25, 2023
RE: Consider Entering into an M.O.U. with Avenal Rotary Club for June 11, 2023 LaNeva Jaripeo y Baile
INFORMATION:

The LaNeva Jaripeo y Baile is a new event spearheaded by Avenal Rotary to bring a new avenue of entertainment to the community, and potential revenue source to continue supporting Rotary’s non-profit activities. This event includes a portion of bull riding, and dance, with food and alcohol sales, booth vendors, and entry tickets. Attached is a flyer which details more about the event.

Staff is seeking formal consent by Council to collaborate and commit resources to this event in collaboration with Avenal Rotary. Examples of potential resources being used are: City facilities (which now have a charge to non-profits), staff time to help manage certain activities, advertising the event, and city equipment. The City is currently helping the event by offering ticket sales at City Hall. The largest contribution will be City equipment and staff time to prepare the Avenal Sports Complex for the event.

Staff has prepared a basic M.O.U. to be signed by both the City and Avenal Rotary Club to begin the process of more formally recognizing the collaboration between both the City and Avenal Rotary Club, and authorizing the waiving of fees for City facilities, and allowing the City’s participating in the event.

In return, Avenal Rotary agrees to share 35% of its profits to the City.

With Avenal Rotary managing the event, Avenal Rotary will provide insurance for the event. The subcontractors of the musical bands and bull riding will also provide their own insurance and indemnify the City and Avenal Rotary for their activities.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff is recommending, by motion, authorizing the City Manager to sign an M.O.U. with Avenal Rotary Club regarding the collaborations for the 2023 LaNeva Jaripeo y Baile.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Small loss in revenue by waiving the rental fees for City facilities and some staff time to prepare the facilities. In return, Avenal Rotary agrees to share 35% of its profits from ticket, food, and other relevant sales back to the City. As this is the first time an event like this takes place, potential revenues are unknown at this time.

Legislative Update
Senator Hurtado's Budget Request:

Avenal Public Safety – $1 million
Assemblyman Mathis' Budget Request:
$3M for the Avenal Community Recreation Center
The budget request for Avenal is for a total of $1 million dollars. This includes $40,000 for a drone program to help patrol the 72,000 acres of open land within the city limits. As well as, $180,000 for a Polaris 4x4 truck which will be used to pull the police department’s mobile command center and two Suzuki motorcycles which will be used to patrol the hills around Avenal. In addition, $800,000 to repair the roofs of the Avenal Police Department and Avenal Veterans Hall. This budget request is important for public safety and will ensure that critical facilities like the Avenal Veterans Hall and Avenal Police Department are structurally sound and safe in case of emergencies, disasters, or attacks. The drone program and patrol vehicles will also help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the police department in their duties to protect and serve the community.

This budget request is important to the Avenal community because it addresses critical needs for public safety and infrastructure in the City of Avenal. The drone program and additional vehicles will enhance the ability of law enforcement to patrol and respond to emergencies in the city's large and rugged open land areas. The repair of the roofs of the Avenal Police Department and the Avenal Veteran's Hall is crucial for ensuring that these facilities can continue to serve the community during times of crisis or disaster.

Additionally, the Avenal Veteran's Hall is an important community center for seniors and other residents, and its maintenance and repair is necessary to continue providing essential services to vulnerable populations. Overall, this budget request demonstrates a commitment to public safety and responsible infrastructure management in Avenal.

Status Update:

We are pleased to inform you that both of these budget requests have been prioritized and are currently being reviewed in the Budget Committee. Budget negotiations began May 25, 2023 Pg. 21

It is exciting to share with them the new developments that have been happening in the City with O’Reilly being the newest. We are excited to be attending ICSC and look forward reporting back to you.

We are currently working with a few national food chains that are interested in Avenal, and hope to have even more after ICSC.

AB 33 - Fentanyl Addiction and Overdose Prevention Task Force.

AB 84 - Property tax: welfare exemption: affordable housing. (Ward) The California Legislature has introduced a bill that would expand property tax exemptions for nonprofit organizations that provide low-income housing. The existing property tax law allows for a "welfare exemption" for property used exclusively for religious, hospital, scientific, or charitable purposes that is owned or operated by certain nonprofit entities, including those providing rental housing for lower-income households. This bill would extend the partial exemption to property acquired, rehabilitated, developed, or operated with financing from qualified 501(c)(3) bonds. Additionally, the bill would remove the requirement that eligible owners receive low-income housing tax credits and instead require that units designated for lower-income households have rent restrictions. The bill also requires an affidavit with specified information for the exemption claim and provides that the affidavit is not subject to public disclosure. Local tax officials' duties would be expanded, and perjury would become a more severe crime due to the affidavit's requirements.

Cities and fire districts that provided prehospital EMS services as of June 1, 1980, will retain their authorities and administration of prehospital EMS when providing it as part of an agreement with a county for the joint exercise of powers regarding prehospital EMS, subject to certain conditions. The bill also requires the local EMS agency to provide a right of first refusal to the designated providers in an exclusive operating area if a city's or fire district's assertion of its authorities regarding prehospital EMS causes the area to no longer qualify for an exclusive operating area.

The Planning and Zoning Law requires counties and cities to adopt a comprehensive general plan that includes a housing element. Supportive housing is permitted in zones where multifamily and mixed uses are allowed, with a plan for providing supportive services and meeting specified criteria. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires an environmental impact report for projects that may have a significant effect on the environment, but not for ministerial projects. This bill would make office conversion projects a use by right in all areas, regardless of zoning, as long as certain requirements are met. It would also exempt office conversion projects from certain impact fees and allow for payment of fees over a 10-year period. The Department of Housing and Community Development would establish a program to award funding to eligible office conversion projects. The bill would require reimbursement for costs mandated by the state.

SB 329 – Cities: city council members: compensation. (Dodd) Existing law allows a city council to establish a salary for its members based on the city's population, with a cap on how much the salary can be increased each year.

SB 423 – Land use: streamlined housing approvals: multifamily housing developments. (Wiener) This bill aims to streamline housing approvals for multifamily housing developments. It deletes the January 1, 2026 repeal date of existing law, which authorizes the development proponent to submit an application for a streamlined, ministerial approval process, subject to specified planning standards. The bill also authorizes the Department of General Services to act as a local government for streamlined review of development on state-owned or leased property. The objective planning standards are modified, including an alternative definition for "affordable housing costs" for developments that dedicate 100% of units to lower income households. The bill deletes the objective planning standards requiring development proponents to pay the general prevailing rate of wages and utilize a skilled and trained workforce. The local government's planning director or equivalent position would determine if the development is consistent with the objective planning standards, and all departments of the local government required to issue approval must comply with the streamlined approval requirements within specified time periods. Finally, the bill would remove the authorization to conduct public oversight of the development and only authorize design review to be conducted by the local government's planning commission or any equivalent board or commission responsible for design review.

Status: Set for hearing May 18.

SB 525 – Cities: city council members: compensation. (Dodd) This bill would require a minimum wage of $25 per hour for health care workers, subject to adjustment, and applicable to all covered health care employment under the Labor Code and the Wage Orders of the Industrial Welfare Commission. It would also require that covered health care employees paid on a salary basis earn a monthly salary equivalent to no less than 2 times the health care worker minimum wage for full-time employment in order to qualify as exempt from the payment of minimum wage and overtime. The bill imposes a state-mandated local program and does not require reimbursement for specified reasons.

Status: Read second time. Ordered to third reading.

SB 721 – Special taxes: vacant land. (Becker)
The California Constitution requires 2/3 approval of voters for a special tax by a city, county, or special district.

A charter city has the authority to levy local taxes, subject to restrictions imposed by the city's charter or preemption in matters of statewide concern. This bill specifies that a special tax includes a tax on vacant sites suitable for residential development, as identified in a county's or city's long-term general plan.

Status: Read second time. Ordered to third reading.

SB 796 – Threats. (Alvarado-Gil and Rubio)
This bill expands the existing law that makes it a crime to willfully threaten to commit a crime resulting in death or bodily injury to another person. It criminalizes threats made against a particular location or event. As a result, this bill would create a state-mandated local program. The bill states that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Status: Read second time. Ordered to third reading.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 10 - A
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Humberto Bermudez, IT Manager
DATE: May 16th, 2023
RE: Consider Approval for Kings County Behavioral Health to Reconstruct the Digital Signage on the Kings St/Skyline Blvd. Intersection
INFORMATION:

Kings County Behavioral Health has begun an initiative to provide services within the City as requested by our community. A major factor of success for any organization within the City is outreach. Unfortunately, Avenal has historically struggled with this due to a lack of both effective digital and physical outreach methods.

The Kings St./Skyline Blvd. intersection has a perpetual digital message of the City Council date and location and the City entrance on Highway 269 currently has an unlit billboard which is only effective with both sunlight and large high-contrast text. Kings County Behavioral Health has reached out to the City proposing an offer to build digital signage as means of advertising.

After several meetings and discussions between KCBH and City Staff, KCBH is hoping to focus on outreach to our residents through a large digital sign. From these discussions, Staff is recommending that KCBH focus on replacing the sign on the Kings/Skyline intersection.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends by Motion to grant Kings County Behavioral Health permission to replace the digital sign at the Kings/Skyline intersection. KCBH will work with the selected vendor, to have the new sign installed. After which, it will be the City’s responsibility to utilize and maintain the sign moving forward.

Attached are four quotes which Staff is recommending KCBH to review and accept a version of. Staff is recommending a 4’ x 8’ sign which will be fully digital, front and back. Staff is also following up with these vendors to purchase and replace additional signs across the City. From the ARPA funds, $300,000 had been allocated for these projects. Luckily this sign will not require any City funding.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None. The costs of construction and implementation would be covered by grant funds held by Kings County Behavioral Health.
