Frank Lopez commented and noted that one of the city's largest expenses will be operating the gym. While he hasn’t reviewed the budget in detail, he suggested exploring a small membership fee to help offset costs. Although such fees may not fully balance the budget, he believes community members would value access to the gym. Mr. Lopez recommended setting up a donation fund and offering incentives such as program tie-ins with Kids Spot or other yearround activities to encourage gym use and participation.

Kelly Guzman expressed concern about the ongoing issue of stray dogs in the community and asked if anyone could provide an update. Regarding the budget, she highlighted that many residents feel funds spent on the recall effort could be better used to support children, gardens, and other community groups. Mrs. Guzman also, criticized the high fees charged to children ($140) for programs during a time when families are facing job insecurity, layoffs, and immigration related fears. And lastly Mrs. Guzman voiced her opinion that the recall of Councilmember Ricardo Verdugo appeared retaliatory, especially given his quiet and non-confrontational approach.

Kevin Jenkins, spoke passionately about collaboration between the city and local schools to support youth development and workforce readiness. Drawing from his experience as a longtime Kings County school board member and law enforcement officer, he emphasized how partnerships like those between Hanford schools, public works, and law enforcement provided students with hands on job skills and mentoring. He encouraged Avenal to adopt similar August 14, 2025 Pg. 11
Joint Meeting City Council/Successor Agency
July 22, 2025 - Page 2 of 2
efforts, especially to reopen the pool, expand youth employment, and grow programs like Explorers and School Resource Officers (SROs). He praised the city’s community spirit, its impressive facilities, and offered his full support in building stronger connections between the city and school district for the benefit of local youth.

Mayor Preciado closed public comments at 3:00 p.m.

PUBLIC COMMENT/ANNOUNCEMENTS & UNSCHEDULED APPEARANCES:

Mayor Preciado opened Public Comment at 5:41 p.m.

Carlos Saldana expresses concern about the state of democracy and the wellbeing of the community, urging individuals to prioritize constructive, respectful dialogue. He criticizes certain actions by local leaders, such as collecting signatures for a petition in a biased manner and failing to be neutral. He also mentions an experience where he was blocked from sharing a recall poster on the city’s Facebook page, which he views as censorship. This incident strengthens his resolve to advocate for positive change in his community.

Dalila Barajas expressed concern that users were blocked from the City of Avenal’s Facebook page after posting a recall flyer. She emphasized the importance of allowing residents to express both positive and negative views about the city and stated that this falls under freedom of speech. She requested that any blocked individuals be unblocked and suggested caution moving forward to avoid infringing on public dialogue.

The IT Manager Naranjo and City Manager Lopez clarified that the City of Avenal operates under a social media policy, which is publicly available on the city’s website and Facebook “About” section key points from the policy:
• The city’s social media channels are not public forums but moderated discussion spaces. • The purpose of the pages is to provide official updates and encourage respectful and constructive engagement regarding city services, programs, and events. • The City reserves the right to remove or restrict content that violates these terms. • Users are encouraged to review the full policy and reach out with any questions.

Shelia Verdugo resident, 208 S Corcoran Ave. Mrs. Verdugo proposed a memorial or commemorative marker at the outdoor event bandstand to honor Harlan G. Casida, who served the city as a teacher, coach, athletic director, councilman, and city manager. Mrs. Verdugo highlighted Mr. Casida’s lasting impact on the community, especially on local youth, and emphasized his values of service, education, and community spirit. She believes the bandstand is a fitting location due to its connection with events he held dear. She offered support from herself, Councilman Verdugo, and possibly other councilmembers in moving the tribute forward and noted the family would be happy to assist with design and planning.

Mrs. Verdugo concluded that Mr. Casida exemplified the values of service, education, and community spirit, and stated that the bandstand would be a meaningful location for the tribute, as it is closely tied to events such as Pistachio Days and Cruise Nights, which he deeply valued. Mrs. Verdugo concluded and expressed her personal August 14, 2025 Pg. 13
Joint Meeting City Council/Successor Agency
August 4, 2025 - Page 2 of 6
commitment to the project, along with support from Councilman Verdugo and potentially other councilmembers.

Mrs. Verdugo indicated that Mr. Casida’s family would be willing to assist with design ideas and planning.

Megan Gilbert expressed concern over the lack of mutual respect among community members. She pointed out the hypocrisy of some individuals demanding respect while engaging in disrespectful behavior themselves specifically citing incidents of people following others home while they are with their children and yelling obscenities without provocation. Mrs. Gilbert acknowledged that going door-to-door to collect signatures for a recall is acceptable but criticized individuals who become upset when others do the same. Mrs. Gilbert emphasized that it is unacceptable to follow or harass anyone due to differences in opinion and stated she is disappointed by the way people are treating each other. She concluded by saying she is done with the situation, referencing an incident on 208 West Side Street.

Veronica Aguirre raised concerns about potential hydrogen projects reportedly being planned within the City of Avenal. She referenced comments made by the Mayor at the previous City Council meeting and expressed frustration about the lack of transparency and public information surrounding these discussions. After conducting her own research, Ms. Aguirre spoke with the CEO of a hydrogen company who claimed a project is planned within city limits, despite there being no Environmental Impact Report (EIR), permits, or official documentation. She also contacted the city’s planning consultant agency, who confirmed they had no information and requested that she share any findings.

Mrs. Aguirre concluded by emphasizing the potential health, environmental, and safety risks associated with hydrogen projects, particularly if pursued without proper public engagement and oversight. She cautioned against corporations viewing the community as easily exploitable and stressed the need for a qualified, well-prepared fire department to manage such high-risk developments. Mrs. Aguirre urged the Council to prioritize transparency, community input, and responsible planning moving forward.

City Manager Lopez thanked Ms. Aguirre for her comments and acknowledged the validity of her concerns. He clarified that any significant project, including hydrogen developments, would require extensive public input and a thorough CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) review. He stated that the company she spoke with is not one the City has been in discussions with, noting that multiple organizations have expressed early interest due to the gas pipeline running through Avenal. The City has had only preliminary discussions with a couple of entities and has clearly communicated the need for transparent, public-facing processes if any project moves forward.

City Manager Lopez reaffirmed that the Mayor's previous mention of hydrogen was intended to initiate public dialogue, not indicate a finalized project.

The City Council went into Closed Session at 6:05 p.m.

Joint Meeting City Council/Successor Agency
August 4, 2025 - Page 3 of 6
City Manager Lopez reported to the City Council on the final draft of the Fire Services Agreement with Kings County Fire, following Council’s direction from the June 12, 2025, meeting. Staff, in collaboration with the City Attorney, submitted a revised agreement to the County that included:
• Stronger protections for the City.
• Expanded service and incident data reporting.
• A request for more detailed property tax use explanations was rejected by the County.

The final draft agreement (Attachment A) covers a four-year term from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2028. The City of Avenal will continue receiving fire services under the 2-0 staffing model (Fire Captain and Engineer), with no additional personnel or service enhancements beyond the prior year.

City Manager Lopez highlighted the significant cost increases, especially for FY 2025–26:
• FY 2024–25 (retroactive): $450,000 direct payment, with an additional $25,000 owed • FY 2025–26: $1,096,310 direct cost – a 143.6% increase from the prior year • Annual increases thereafter are capped at approximately 5%, excluding COLAs • Total cost to the City over four years: Approximately $3.8 million The report also included a new resolution amendment, ensuring that residents will be notified at least 30 days in advance through appropriate public channels if the City intends to cancel or not renew the agreement.

City Manager Lopez recommended adoption of the agreement and amendment as presented. Two resolutions were presented: 1) Primary Resolution: Approves the continuation of fire services under the updated terms; 2) Amendment: Includes Council directed language requiring that prior to any formal notice of cancellation or nonrenewal of the agreement, the City will make reasonable efforts to notify the Avenal community at least 30 days in advance using appropriate and available public channels. City Manager Lopez confirmed that the updated resolution and amendment were published and distributed ahead of the meeting, in compliance with transparency requirements.

Councilman Verdugo stated “the challenges in the process over the past few months but expressed gratitude to the county for their continued support in providing fire services. He emphasized the importance of notifying citizens in the future before any decisions are made regarding the fire services contract, ensuring the community has a chance to voice their opinions”. Councilman Verdugo concluded by expressing his support for approving the contract and the amendment to the resolution as presented.

Mayor Preciado opened public time to comment at 7:20 p.m.

Dalila Barrajas is expressing concerns about the financial handling of fire department services. She believes there's confusion around the budget allocation, specifically how the property tax and general funding are being reported and combined. She suggests that the total costs, which seem to add up to $875,000 (from $425,000 and $450,000), should be covered by Measure A funds, which were passed to help with emergencies and public services like fire services. Mrs. Barajas points out that the Measure A tax, which brings in more revenue than initially estimated August 14, 2025 Pg. 15
Joint Meeting City Council/Successor Agency
August 4, 2025 - Page 4 of 6
($900,000 instead of $400,000–$500,000), should be used to cover fire services and other city needs. Mrs. Barajas I conclusion feels that City Hall should be responsible for funding fire services rather than relying on external contributions, noting that the county has been helpful, but it’s time for the city to pay its fair share. She believes the funds from Measure A should be used properly for the benefit of the citizens.

Dalila Barajas, a resident, addressed the City Council with comments and questions regarding the financial reporting of the Fire Services Agreement with Kings County. She expressed appreciation for the council’s efforts but raised concerns about how the total cost of the agreement was being presented to the public. Mrs. Barajas noted the following:
• The estimated total cost of $1.5 million for fire services includes both the City’s general fund contribution and property tax revenue, but she believes these should be shown separately for clarity. • She calculated that the City’s share—$425,000 (General Fund) plus $450,000 (property tax portion)— totals approximately $875,000 and questioned the remaining balance in the $1.5 million figure. • She emphasized that Measure H, passed by voters to help fund public safety and other city services, was intended to bridge this funding gap and is currently generating close to $900,000 annually, exceeding original revenue projections.
• Ms. Barajas argued that the City has a responsibility to fully fund fire services and noted that Kings County has been more than fair in past contract negotiations.
• She urged the City to utilize Measure H funds as intended—to support emergency services, infrastructure, and community needs—and stated that now is the time to prioritize funding public safety appropriately.

City Manager Lopez responded by clarifying the cost breakdown:
• The $1.096 million listed for FY 2025–26 represents the City’s direct contribution, not including property tax.
• The estimated property tax contribution is included in the total cost presentation to fully reflect the County’s calculation of the station’s operating cost, which totals approximately $1.5 million. • He acknowledged that the County has stated they may reassess or withdraw property tax support in the future, which is why staff believes it is important to recognize the full operational cost to the City.

City Manager Lopez added that the figures have been included in the council meeting packets and have also been shared publicly online to ensure transparency.

Rita Wallace, resident of 1036 E Whitney St., asked for clarification on whether the City Council had officially signed the fire services contract with Kings County. Ms. Wallace then questioned whether the City Council could still reject the agreement if they were dissatisfied with any changes the County might propose. Ms. Wallace expressed strong concern that failure to approve the contract would result in loss of life, holding the Council accountable if public safety was jeopardized due to inaction. She stated: “If we don’t keep that fire department here, we’re going to lose lives. And are you guys willing to pay for it? People will come after you if you don’t sign the contract.” Mrs. Wallace also raised concerns about new water basins being installed along the Avenue cutoff, suggesting they might be related to a hydrogen gas project.

City Manager Lopez explained that the Council approved the agreement as presented by the County, with no additional changes, and the signed agreement would be sent back to the County before Thursday for their final approval at their next meeting on August 14, 2025. He clarified that both parties must sign the agreement for it to be finalized. City Manager Lopez responded that the County is not proposing any new changes; the version approved by the Council reflects the County’s final proposal, and the current step is formal countersignature. City Manager Lopez clarified that the basins are not related to any hydrogen projects, and that the issue was outside the scope of the current meeting’s agenda.

Shelia Verdugo reiterated the importance of community engagement and transparency if the City ever revisits plan to create its own local fire department. She emphasized:

August 14, 2025 Pg. 16
Joint Meeting City Council/Successor Agency
August 4, 2025 - Page 5 of 6
• Any future departure from the Kings County Fire contract should be accompanied by adequate town halls, public notice, and a fully developed plan.
• The previous attempt at forming a fire department appeared to lack comprehensive planning. • If the City proceeds again, it must clearly present how it will fund, staff, train, and sustain its own fire services.

Mrs. Verdugo requested detailed public presentations, not just social media posts, to ensure the community can understand, ask questions, and provide input.

City Manager Lopez responding to Mrs. Verdugo’s question on contract costs. City Manager Lopez clarified the breakdown of the fire services agreement with Kings County Fire, using the FY 2025–26 budget figures as an example:
• Direct payment by the City (General Fund): $1,096,310 • Estimated County contribution (via property tax revenue): $432,799 • Total estimated cost of fire services: $1,529,110
Key clarifications included:
• The City is only paying the first line the General Fund amount. • The property tax line represents revenue already allocated by the County, not a direct cost to the City. • However, the County has indicated they could redirect that property tax revenue in the future, which is why it's noted in total cost projections.
• For now, the contract locks in the City’s costs for the next three years, and there is no expectation that the County will withdraw its property tax support.

City Manager Lopez noted that including total cost figures helps demonstrate the full value of fire services and encourages fiscal awareness and long term planning in the event external funding changes.

Mayor Preciado addressed public concerns and clarified that Measure A is not a special tax measure, but a general tax measure. Under California law, a special tax must be spent only on the specific uses listed in the ballot measure.

In contrast, a general tax, like Measure A, allows funds to be used for a broader range of general government services. The measure identified intentions to support services such as police, fire, animal services, streets, and beautification projects, but it is not legally restricted to those areas. Preciado reiterated that the intent of Measure A was to help supplement city services not to fund 100% of any one department.

City Attorney Moses Diaz further explained the following: Measure A was approved as a general fund revenue measure. Although the voter materials reference public safety and infrastructure, the funds are not legally bound to any one use. This flexibility allows the city to adapt spending based on evolving community needs, as determined by the City Council.

Dalila Barajas, resident, referred to the original Measure A ballot language and campaign materials, pointing out:
• The measure clearly listed public safety, animal control, street repair, and other local services as targeted areas.
• She questioned why, in her view, there appears to be imbalance in allocation, with police receiving a larger share, while animal control and street maintenance remain underfunded. • Barajas expressed that, considering the fire services cost, Measure A should be helping offset fire service costs.
• She reminded the Council that residents supported the measure during difficult post-COVID recovery years and expect the city to honor the stated uses.

Mayor Preciado responded by sharing background on the fire services negotiations:
• The County had consistently communicated that fire service costs would be around $1.5M to $1.6M. • Early negotiations included Chief Flores and Kyria Martinez, County Administrative Officer.

August 14, 2025 Pg. 17
Joint Meeting City Council/Successor Agency
August 4, 2025 - Page 6 of 6
• The City made efforts to negotiate cost reductions, but the County rejected changes to key terms, including data sharing and cost allocation.
• The current agreement, as approved by the City Council, will now go to the County for final approval.

Chief John Chamberlin addressed the Council and public with key clarifications and acknowledgments:
• He thanked the Council for moving forward with the contract approval. • Noted that Avenal, like other jurisdictions, is facing higher costs due to countywide operational needs — total fire department operations run around $21 million. • He clarified that Avenal receives certain unique financial considerations, including:
o A waiver of $150,000+ in overhead costs (e.g., administration, chief salaries). o No fire inspection fees charged to businesses in Avenal. o The County absorbs costs related to equipment depreciation, station maintenance, and workers’ compensation.

Chief Chamberlin reported regarding data/reporting requests, he explained:
• Some contract language changes were necessary due to federal data protection laws (e.g., HIPAA). • Incident data involving personal identifiers or private addresses cannot be shared as originally requested. • Chamberlin emphasized his openness to communication, offering his availability to clarify information or resolve concerns.

Mayor Pro Tem Leticia Gamez stated "Hello, good afternoon. I have something I’d like to say in front of everyone here today. I’ll be reading it to make sure I don’t leave anything out. I understand that there are differences of opinion on certain issues, and that’s okay. What’s not okay and what I find deeply disrespectful, disgusting, and disappointing is the way some members of our community have chosen to express those opinions. I’ve been a part of this community for over 16 years. I’ve made a home here. My children attend school here. I work here. I know many of you. However, there are people who do not know me, and I do not know them who have approached me in front of children and elderly residents, using foul and inappropriate language. I don’t deserve that. I ran for City Council to make a difference. Yet recently, people have been following me, parking in front of my house, and just sitting there, watching me and my children making me fear for our safety. While I was having a simple conversation with a neighbor an elderly woman these same individuals began shouting foul language, not only at me, but in a way that made her feel unsafe as well. That’s what I needed to say. Thank you." ADJOURNMENT.

There being no further business, the City Council meeting was adjourned at 7:55 p.m.

TO: Mayors, Council Members, City Clerks, and City Managers RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 8-10, 2025 Long Beach Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.

Taking place on Oct. 10, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.

To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.

Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.

Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Wed., Sept. 24. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.

Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.

Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.

Council Action Advised by September 24, 2025
August 14, 2025 Pg. 20
For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.

Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.

Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.

Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Oct. 16, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 17, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 18, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.

The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.

Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.

Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Wednesday, Sept. 24. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.

How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.

The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.

The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least

Chief’s Monthly Report
August 26, 2025
Organizational Priorities
I. Leadership Stability
• Commander Edward Rij continues to support the Chief in leading the department and is actively expanding his administrative skill set. He plays a key role in mentoring and staff development. As the department’s Field Training Officer – Senior Advisor Coordinator (FTO SAC), he is currently updating our POST FTO guidelines. He is also scheduled to attend POST Management School in the near future. • Officers Jose Gonzales and Miguel Gonzalez have been promoted to the rank of Sergeant. Both, along with Corporal Van Deursen, are scheduled to attend POST Supervisory School.
• The Chief conducted department-wide training for patrol staff focused on proper report writing, thorough investigations, and guidance on Detective callout procedures and utilization protocols. This is valuable because it promotes consistency, accuracy, and accountability in reporting and investigations, while ensuring that patrol staff understand when and how to effectively utilize Detectives—ultimately strengthening the quality of casework and departmental operations.
• Internal recruitment is ongoing to fill the remaining Sergeant and Corporal positions, further strengthening the department’s supervisory capacity. • Records staff will be attending POST certified Public Records Act training. In addition, our Records Clerk Karen Celis will be attending the POST certified records course.

This is beneficial because it ensures our records staff are receiving standardized, upto-date training on public records laws and best practices, enhancing both legal compliance and the professionalism of our department’s records operations.

II. Recruit and Retain the Best
• Recruitment for Police Officer I/II positions remains active. The department is nearing full staffing, with one officer recruit in the hiring process and three additional candidates in the background investigation phase.

August 14, 2025 Pg. 24

• Officer Christopher Drake is progressing steadily through the Field Training Program and is nearing completion.
• The partnership between Detectives and the Property & Evidence team has already proven effective in managing complex investigations.

III. International Model of Community Trust
• Officers and Community Service Unit members have actively participated in outreach initiatives including Rotary events, "Ice Cream with a Cop," the Avenal Independence Day Celebration, Avenal Summer Kidz Spot Tour and Basketball, and the 5K Torch Run.
• Recruitment for the Avenal Police Explorers Program is ongoing. Although efforts slowed over the summer, outreach is resuming now that the school year is in session.

IV. Among the Safest Cities in America
• The department continues to see a downward trend in crime rates. Officers are proactively and legally seizing illegal firearms during enforcement actions and calls for service.
• Installation of the Flock Safety Camera system is 50% complete. Full deployment is pending necessary Caltrans permits.
• The department continues implementing its Momentum Policing Model, enhanced by the addition of Detectives and new investigative technology to support proactive crime reduction strategies.
• The Chief participated in the quarterly Kings County Major Crimes Task Force meeting with allied agency leaders to strengthen regional partnerships. We are truly grateful for the continued friendship and collaboration among our partner agencies. • The Hanford Police Department provided vital assistance during the arrest of a suspect in one of our cases that led us to their city. Their support was instrumental, and we extend our sincere appreciation to the Chief and her command staff for their ongoing willingness to assist us. We are deeply thankful for all of our regional partnerships, which continue to make our communities safer together.

V. Embrace Wellness Among Our Employees
• The department maintains a supportive and communicative work environment that prioritizes employee wellness and morale. Plans are in motion to revamp the Peer Support Program.

August 14, 2025 Pg. 25

• Officers and staff are encouraged to engage in community events as part of promoting a healthy work-life balance.
• Leadership conducts regular check-ins with team members to support well-being, foster innovation, and maintain a mission-driven culture.

The CrisCom Company –
City of Avenal Update
August, 2025
State Update: California Legislative and Budget Outlook Economic and Revenue Context
California remains in a period of fiscal caution as slower economic growth and lower-thanexpected tax receipts continue to put pressure on the state budget. While the budget passed in June helped stabilize short-term gaps, updated revenue data this summer points to continued uncertainty heading into 2026.

Key Themes Shaping Sacramento Policy
The state is operating in a tight spending environment, with most new funding directed toward protecting schools, healthcare, and wildfire mitigation. Discretionary funding for smaller capital projects remains limited. Infrastructure and water policy remain a priority, with continued investment in drought resilience, water storage, and clean drinking water projects, particularly in disadvantaged rural communities. On housing and homelessness, legislative leaders are focusing on streamlining housing approvals and extending support for homelessness programs. However, funding levels for these initiatives remain flat or lower compared to prior years.

Summer Recess
The California Legislature is currently on summer recess and will reconvene on August

18. During this break, no legislative hearings or floor sessions are being held, but members are meeting with constituents and preparing bills for action when the session resumes.

Federal Update: Budget and Policy Landscape
In Washington, Congress is working toward the Fiscal Year 2026 budget while continuing to debate federal spending caps and the national debt limit. These negotiations have slowed progress on appropriations bills, especially those related to infrastructure, transportation, and community development programs.

Congress is currently in its annual August recess, with the House out from late July through September 1 and the Senate on break from August 1 through September 1.

August 14, 2025 Pg. 28
During this time, lawmakers are back in their districts meeting with constituents, attending events, and engaging locally. Behind the scenes, negotiations on spending bills continue, with many measures still unresolved and expectations that final decisions will come later in the fall.

Avenal Water Storage Tank Project - $4M
We are pleased to share that Avenal’s $4 million Water Storage Tank Project has officially cleared the House Appropriations Committee, marking a major milestone in the federal funding process. While this is a significant step forward, final approval will depend on Congress passing a full-year FY26 funding bill. As we experienced last year, projects that advanced this far were ultimately removed when Congress opted for a series of shortterm Continuing Resolutions instead of a comprehensive funding package. While another CR is still a possibility, we’re hopeful that Congress can come together this time to pass an omnibus funding bill that includes our CPF request.

Sacramento Snapshot:

As you are aware, we currently distribute a bi-weekly "Sacramento Snapshot" that provides updates on important state legislation. Antony already receives this update, and we would be happy to add any City Council members who would like to get it as well. If you are interested in being included on the distribution list, please let us know.

Economic Development Update:

Our team has made significant progress aimed at strengthening Avenal’s position as a destination for business growth. We are actively conducting targeted outreach to retail and restaurant operators, with a particular focus on franchise-based models that align with the City’s long-term economic vision. These efforts are not only geared toward attracting well-known brands to our community, but also toward creating meaningful opportunities for local ownership and investment.

To support this strategy, we developed and have updated a Franchise Opportunity Flyer that showcases the advantages of opening a franchised restaurant in Avenal. The flyer includes information on available commercial properties, a step-by-step guide to becoming a franchise owner, and details on the support available from both the City and our team. This resource is being shared with prospective investors, distributed through local networks, and made available to residents who are interested in launching their own business.

Attracting corporate and franchise businesses offers a range of benefits for Avenal. These include expanding the local job market, drawing in customers from surrounding areas, and increasing local spending. The resulting growth in sales tax revenue enhances the City’s ability to invest in public services and infrastructure. Importantly, our approach is designed to complement—not compete with— existing small businesses. The increase in foot traffic and consumer options supports local entrepreneurs, helping to build a more balanced, resilient, and thriving economy.

August 14, 2025 Pg. 29
Grant Writing Update:

A representative from the CrisCom team continues to participate in bi-weekly staff meetings, providing guidance on active grants and identifying new funding opportunities for upcoming City projects.

We remain focused on securing grants that align with Avenal’s priorities in infrastructure, public safety, recreation, and community development.

Upcoming Grant Deadlines:
• Wonderful Central Valley Community Grants – Due August 31, 2025 • ABC/OTS Alcohol Enforcement Grant – Due September 12, 2025 • CCDEH MEHKO Reimbursement Grants for Local Code Enforcement Agencies – Due September 30, 2025

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Griselda Price, Director of Administrative Services DATE: August 14, 2023
RE: Consider Fiscal Year 2024-2025 – End Budget Revisions INFORMATION:

As part of the auditing process, Staff must address and propose to the City Council fiscal budget year-end revisions which must generally be approved prior to June 30, 2024. This year, as in prior years, an operating budget was approved as final numbers were submitted for the 2024/2025 budget.

As Council is aware, FY 2024/2025 is the final year operating in both Central Square (revenues) and OpenGov (expenses). This dual-entry process required staff to enter and verify all numbers twice to ensure both systems matched and reported correctly. This additional verification process, combined with staffing shortages early last year, and audit catch-up work, has required more staff time to reconcile accounts and prepare accurate final figures. Staff anticipates that all audits will be fully current by year-end.

Price Paige & Company have been great resources in helping catch everything up, and are also part of the end of budget revisions and reconciliation.

Staff is requesting that the City Council authorize Staff to adjust the revenues at fiscal year-end to reflect the actual revenues received and adjust the expenditures within the budgeted funds and reallocate funds as necessary. Staff is also requesting authorization to adjust the revolving funds as needed throughout the year. Revolving Accounts consist of CDBG, HOME, CalHome, Grants, Recreation programs, Explorers, etc.

RECOMMENDATION:

1. By motion, authorize the City Manager to utilize the department budgets in the best interest of the City, within the departments approved bottom line budgeted Fund amounts as per approved by the City Council, and further authorize the year-end Fiscal Year 2024/2025 budget revisions (revenues and revolving accounts) as needed and/or required after closure of Fiscal Year 2024/2025.

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Griselda Price, Director of Administrative Services DATE: August 12, 2025
RE: Consider Fiscal Year 2025-2026 – Appropriations Limit INFORMATION:

Article XIII B of the State of California Constitution places limits on the amount of revenue which can be spent by all entities of Government. To address the restrictions of the Article, and increase the accountability of government entities in adopting their limits, voters approved Proposition Ill in June 1990. Among other things, this Proposition provides new adjustment formulas which should make the Appropriation Limits more responsive to local growth issues. It also requires an annual review of Limit Calculations.

The City Council shall, each year by Resolution, establish an appropriations limit for the expenditure of so-called proceeds of taxes. The adoption of the Resolution must be at a regularly scheduled meeting of the City Council or at a noticed special meeting.

The Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Appropriations Limit is $ 4,984,854.76 and the budget estimate of revenues from the proceeds of taxes is estimated to be less than $ 2,292,000.00. Since the City's estimated tax revenues are $ (2,692,854.76) less than the limitations, it is safe to say we will not exceed our limit this year.

RECOMMENDATION:

1. It is staff's recommendation that the City Council establish the Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 by adopting the proposed resolution.

Dear Fiscal Officer:

Subject: Price Factor and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 2227 requires the Department of Finance to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments. Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2025, in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2025-26. Attachment A provides the change in California’s per capita personal income and an example for utilizing the price factor and population percentage change factor to calculate the 2025-26 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides the city and unincorporated county population percentage change along with the population percentage change for counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.

Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 2228 provides additional information regarding the appropriations limit.

Article XIII B, Section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the appropriations limit calculation mandate. The code section and the California Constitution can be accessed at the following website: http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes.xhtml.

Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself. No state agency reviews the local appropriations limits.

Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller’s Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2025.

Please Note: The prior year’s city population estimates may be revised. The per capita personal income change is based on historical data.

If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at (916) 323-4086.

Attachment A
A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used in setting the fiscal year 2025-26 appropriation limit is:

Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year Percentage change
(FY) over prior year
2025-26 6.44
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2025-26 appropriation limit.
2025-26:

Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 6.44 percent
Population Change = 0.28 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio: 6.44 + 100 = 1.0644 100
Population converted to a ratio: 0.28 + 100 = 1.0028
100
Calculation of factor for FY 2025-26: 1.0644 x 1.0028 = 1.0674
