Mr. Mendez mentioned that a man once told me that, you know, we, and I'm sure you folks have heard the story that we as police officers, we deposited into this emotional bank account, and you can see it paid off. When Mr.

Mendez started in Avenal before Mr. Mendez started here Mr. Mendez called the Chief of Police. Mr. Mendez told him what he was about. Mr. Mendez grew up in a small community within Kettleman City and his dad ran the ranch for 30-plus years and his mom and dad are present here today.

And he admired the Chief Nevarez for what his vision was, and Mr. Mendez took that vision, and he started working with it. When Mr. Mendez first started here, they started with the Santa Sleigh/Santa on patrol and brought it to the Chief’s attention. They ran with it his family built a sleigh and they delivered to most of the kids in this community told me you were there. You folks were there, and it was a great event, and they did that event not because we wanted social media attention, not because we wanted to make it seem like we had changed our department was better. It's because it's the right thing to do. Mr. Mendez was told that it's all about building trust and building a relationship with this community and that is exactly what Mr. Mendez dedicated himself on doing. After the sensory thing, Mr. Mendez went on to teach the Citizens Police Academy for Spanish speaking residents, our first one here in Avenal. Chief Nevarez vision, but his not too proud to say that he put that together by himself with the assistance of nobody else. It was the Chief’s vision, but Mr. Mendez did it along covering his shift as a supervisor. That first Citizens Police Academy was a success. They graduated the second class from the Citizens Police Academy. We go back a little bit that August 10, 2023 Pg. 6

1 TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP, AND

WAIVER, RELEASE AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
(Avenal Police Department, Police Service Dog Retirement) This Agreement is made and entered into this __ day of _____, 2023, (“Effective Date”) by and between the CITY OF AVENAL, a municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as “City” and TYLER STRYD, an individual, hereinafter referred to as “OWNER”

RECITALS
WHEREAS, the City has determined that the City’s police service dog, known as “Gunnar” (“K-9”) is seven (7) years old, and ordinarily after approximately six (6) years of service with the Avenal Police Department (“APD”) should be retired; and WHEREAS, OWNER has been the sole handler of this K-9 through his employment as a sworn peace officer with the APD; and
WHEREAS, the K-9 was trained to perform certain police work and has in fact performed services for APD. Because of such training and work experience, if not properly handled, the K-9 is potentially dangerous and may cause serious bodily harm. The K-9 received numerous hours of K-9 training during its service to APD and OWNER, as its handler, actively participated in most if not all of such training; and WHEREAS, APD has determined that given the K-9’s age, its value as a police service dog has now completely depreciated and ownership of, and full responsibility for, the K-9 should be humanely euthanized or otherwise transferred to a qualified handler who can and will safely care for the K-9 and prevent it from behaving dangerously toward any person whomsoever; and
WHEREAS, OWNER has expressed that he is qualified to safely care for the K-9 and prevent it from behaving dangerously toward any person whomsoever, and expressed a desire to acquire full ownership of and full responsibility for the K-9, fully releasing the City from any further obligation to maintain the K-9 and from all responsibility for the conduct of the K-9.

SPECIFIC TERMS
NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows:

Section 1. The City, as owner of the K-9, hereby transfers full ownership of, and full responsibility for, the K-9 to OWNER. The City hereby transfers absolute legal ownership and possession of the K-9 to OWNER in return for the commitment of OWNER to assume full and complete responsibility for the future care, maintenance and behavior of the K-9.

August 10, 2023 Pg. 17
2 Section 2. OWNER acknowledges, understands and agrees to the following:
(i) K-9 was trained and used as a police service dog; (ii) K-9 was trained to bite and restrain people under certain conditions or situations; (iii) during his service, K-9 bit and injured people and personal property but only upon command; (iv) K-9 is now being retired from service and will no longer be used in law enforcement by the APD; (v) because of K-9’s training and history, K-9 requires special handling and care to ensure no person or property is bit, mauled and/or injured during my ownership of K9 and at all times thereafter; (vi) the City of Avenal does not make any representation, warranty or guaranty that K-9 will not bite and injure, or attempt to bite or injure any person(s) in the future, nor that K-9 will behave in any particular manner; and (vii) upon transfer of ownership of K-9, OWNER will from that point onward be solely and completely responsible for each and all actions of K-9, even if OWNER subsequently transfers ownership of the K-9 to another person.

Section 3. OWNER agrees to provide all necessary care and maintenance for the K-9 at OWNER’s sole expense, including but not limited to the following:
(i) all nutritional, medical and behavioral training services and maintenance necessary for the health and safety of both the K-9 and each and all persons who come into contact with the K-9;
(ii) to restrain and house K-9 in a secure kennel constructed in a manner which is certain to prevent the K-9 from escaping into any area where it can harm any person whomsoever;
(iii) no later than thirty (30) days after OWNER observes or is notified by anyone of any act or potential act of aggression toward any person by the K-9, the OWNER shall immediately notify the City in writing of each all details of the same and must complete each and all of the following:
(a) have the K-9 complete a comprehensive behavioral evaluation for retired police dogs from a professional police dog trainer (whose qualifications are acceptable to the City in its sole and absolute discretion);
(b) provide accurate information to, and obtain a written certification or sworn opinion from, a professional police dog trainer (whose qualifications are acceptable to the City in its sole and absolute discretion), that the K-9 does not appear to present any threat to the public at this time; and
(c) provide written proof to the City, which is acceptable to the City in its sole and absolute discretion, of all evaluations, retirement training and certifications or sworn opinions.

August 10, 2023 Pg. 18
3 In the event this Section (3)(iii)(a-c) is not satisfied, the parties agree that the K-9 must either be returned to the City, at the sole expense of OWNER, as a full transfer of ownership back to the City upon City’s receipt of the K-9, or alternatively, be humanely euthanized by OWNER no later than fourteen (14) days after the deadline specified above, or any extension thereof which is mutually agreed upon by the parties in a signed writing.
(iv) to provide all special handling and care necessary to ensure that no one is bitten and/or otherwise injured during OWNER’s ownership of the K-9 and at all times thereafter, even if OWNER subsequently transfers ownership of the K-9 to another person;
(v) to refrain from handling or otherwise utilizing K-9 for any purpose which is within the scope of training for police services; and
(vi) to assume total and complete risk of personal injury, death and/or property damage arising or allegedly arising during OWNER’s ownership and/or control of K9 and at all times thereafter, including after each and all further transfer(s) of ownership of the K-9 thereafter, if any.

Section 4. OWNER agrees to, and shall release, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the City of Avenal, the Avenal Police Department and its officers, officials, agents, employees and volunteers (collectively “CITY”) from and against each, any and all loss, liability, costs and damages (whether in contract, tort or strict liability, including but not limited to personal injury, death at any time and property damage) incurred by CITY or any other person, including OWNER, and from each, any and all claims, demands and actions in law or equity (including attorneys’ fees, paralegals’ fees, legal expenses, expert witness fees), arising or alleged to have arisen during and/or as a result of OWNER’s ownership of K-9, and for each breach of this Agreement. CITY shall be reimbursed for any and all such fees and costs incurred by CITY in enforcing this Agreement and/or any and all litigation which in any way relates to this Agreement or K-9.

Section 5. It is the intent of this Agreement that the CITY shall have no responsibility or financial liability resulting for any future action of the K-9 and that OWNER shall be fully and solely responsible for the K-9’s wellbeing and behavior upon City’s transfer of ownership to OWNER of the K-9, including during and after each and all further transfer(s) of ownership of the K-9 thereafter, if any.

GENERAL TERMS

RETIREMENT OF A POLICE

SERVICE DOG FROM THE AVENAL
POLICE DEPARTMENT.

RESOLUTION 2023-_34__
WHEREAS, the City has determined that the City’s police service dog, known as “Gunnar” (“K-9”) is seven (7) years old, and ordinarily after approximately six (6) years of service with the Avenal Police Department (“APD”) should be retired; and WHEREAS, OWNER has been the sole handler of this K-9 through his employment as a sworn peace officer with the APD; and
WHEREAS, the K-9 was trained to perform certain police work and has in fact performed services for APD. Because of such training and work experience, if not properly handled, the K-9 is potentially dangerous and may cause serious bodily harm.

The K-9 received numerous hours of K-9 training during its service to APD and OWNER, as its handler, actively participated in most if not all of such training; and WHEREAS, APD has determined that given the K-9’s age, its value as a police service dog has now completely depreciated and ownership of, and full responsibility for, the K-9 should be humanely euthanized or otherwise transferred to a qualified handler who can and will safely care for the K-9 and prevent it from behaving dangerously toward any person whomsoever; and
WHEREAS, OWNER has expressed that he is qualified to safely care for the K-9 and prevent it from behaving dangerously toward any person whomsoever, and expressed a desire to acquire full ownership of and full responsibility for the K-9, fully releasing the City from any further obligation to maintain the K-9 and from all responsibility for the conduct of the K-9; and
WHEREAS, in conjunction with the City’s insurance and risk management carrier, CSJVRMA, any party wishing to adopt the City’s police service dog is required to fill out an adoption application.

FROM: Antony V. López, City Manager
DATE: August 10, 2023
RE: Consider Changing the Date of the September 28, 2023 Regular City Council Meeting to accommodate Fresno Area Hispanic Foundation event on same day INFORMATION:

The Fresno Area Hispanic Foundation (FAHF) has reached out to City Staff requesting to host a special event for community members and business owners in Avenal. The event will be a resource fair coupled with raffles and prizes for participants. The FAHF intends to provide cash prizes and grants to local businesses that could total over $10-15k to the community.

Tim Rios is a major sponsor of the FAHF on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, and intends to be at the event in person to hand out the prizes. The FAHF is requesting the evening of September 28, 2023 to host the event. This date conflicts with the City’s second council meeting scheduled for that date.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff is recommending, a discussion to either move the September 28, 2023 City Council meeting to another date, or cancel said meeting. Staff is also working with Reef-Sunset Unified School District to potentially host the event at one of the high school gyms to accommodate the large crowd that is expected.

City Staff will be updating the Planning Commission on progress with Consultants at the next Planning Commission Meeting.

Housing Element – Staff had a Kickoff meeting with the County in regard to the Housing Element and its awarded RFP Consultant. City will participate in all meeting to make sure that housing is a priority as well as economic growth. Agreements have been signed and we are awaiting for the County and its Consultants to request information from the cities.

Building Division:

Building and Permit Applications- The City has Implemented an electronic application submission for Building Permits, Land Use and Zoning Permits and Business License. The Application Link is Located on the City Website on the Home Page under the BUTTON APPLY FOR PERMIT ONLINE. We also have a QR code for the Online portal. If any applicant, community member or resident has any questions, we are happy to help answer and show you how to submit online.

From January 2023 to August 2023, the city has already received over 165 electronic submissions of Building permits. We are still continuing to do Inspections on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday as schedule with our Willdan Inspector.

The Building Inspector Position has been interviewed and there is a conditional offer to one of the applicants. Once the orientation process has been completed, I will introduce them to Council. We are very excited to have an in-house inspector and hopefully be able to grow the building division to be more efficient and streamline basic permits.

STUDY SESSION
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Kao Nou Yang, Director of Community and Economic Development DATE: August 10, 2023
SUBJECT: STUDY SESSION – GIS WEB TECH PRESENTATION FOR ECONOMIC

DEVELOPMENT TOOL FOR SITE SELECTION
BACKGROUND:

The City of Avenal has made Economic Development and Growth a priority for the past 15 years.

One of the main City Council goals was to bring more attention and resources to Economic Development, therefore staff were directed to reach out and find strategic ideas to bring more growth and sustainability to the community.

The City’s Economic Development Plan was adopted in 2017 and laid out recommendations and policies that were adopted as part of the General plan to be implemented and executed. Policy

4.2.5 Business Attraction states that “Collaborate with real estate brokers, property owners, and other stakeholders to create and maintain an inventory of buildings and sites available for economic development.,” and Policy 4.8.3 also states “Prioritize economic development activities that will lead to jobs that provide career opportunities and living wages.” These two policies are very important to understanding the need and marketing of the city to grow economically and be able to sustain its revenue generation. With these two policies in mind, city staff has looked into many new resources and strategic planning software to help market the city and provide data and resources to potential developers, business owner, business leaders and interested parties.

One of those strategic planning software is GIS WEBTECH Services. City Staff have requested for the company to present a demonstration and a proposal to City Council with their product. This product not only addresses site selection and marketability, but it always provides data in one location such as demographics, travel time, generations of vehicles/ pedestrian, information that all developers, business owners, interested parties are looking for.

This Agenda item along with the proposal attached was sent to the City Manager Antony Lopez and Director of Administrative Services Griselda Price for review.
