monument sign, fencing, and ADA-compliant picnic tables, benches, concrete walkways, and concrete slabs.

According to the project's timeline, the design phase was initiated and prepared by The Holt Group, Inc in early 2023 and was completed by December 22, 2023. Thereafter, the City of Calipatria continued with the bidding process. The first legal advertisement for bidding was published in April and May 2023, but due to a lack of bidders and bid amounts exceeding the grant funds, the City of Calipatria decided to reject the first bid. A second legal advertisement for bidding was published in January 2024 and based on the lowest, responsive, and responsible bid received, Rove Engineering was selected as the project's contractor. Subsequently, the construction phase of the project began in May 2024 and was completed by February 2025. It is important to note that two (2) change orders were arranged during the construction phase of the project to remove and reduce the scope of work due to a funding shortfall.

After the completion of the project in February 2025, the City of Calipatria initiated the closeout process which consists of the following documents to be completed: Closeout Certification, Acquired Inventory, Disencumbrance of Funds Acknowledgement, Completion Report Acknowledgement with Completion Report attached, Section 3 Compliance Acknowledgement, Section 3 Closeout Report, Section 3 Qualitative Efforts, and an Affidavit of Posting Notice (See Attachment C).

As stated in Table 1 above, the amount awarded for the project's activities (e.g. design, bidding, and construction) was relatively utilized to the greatest extent with only a total amount remaining of $988.82. Meanwhile, the amount awarded for the project's general administration was also utilized to its greatest extent but had a larger amount of remaining funds totaling $153,860.93. It is important to note that invoices for the months of January and February are still pending to be submitted for reimbursement. Apart from that, all activity and administration time spent on this project was logged and requested for reimbursement.

The Hernandez Park Irrigation Systems Improvement Project is subject to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) under the Categorical Exclusion Subject to 58.5 (CEST) form as it involves activities that do not cumulatively have a significant impact on the environment but still require compliance with related federal laws and authorities under 24 CFR 58.5. These projects are not automatically exempt from environmental review and must be assessed for potential effects on factors such as historic, preservation, floodplain management, wetlands protection, endangered species, air quality, and environmental justice. The CEST designation ensures that while the project may qualify for a categorical exclusion under NEPA, it still undergoes a thorough review to determine whether additional environmental analysis, including an Environmental Assessment (EA), or Environmental Impact Report (EIR), is necessary before federal funding or approval can proceed. Thus, a CEST 58.5 form was prepared and executed on January 31, 2025 for this project.

PUBLIC REVIEW
Per State grant guidelines and HCD Standard Agreement, the City of Calipatria must conduct a public hearing and post a Notice of Public Hearing in 3-5 public locations concerning discussion of closure and remittal of remaining funds, if any, under HCD-CDBG. Thus, a Notice of Public Hearing was posted at City Hall on March 12, 2025. Subsequently, the Notice of Public Hearing was posted at the City's website, the City's Meyer Memorial Library, and at Rademacher Park on March 13, 2025. Please refer to Attachment A - Public Hearing Notice and Images for additional information.

CITY COUNCIL PENDING ACTION
Per State grant guidelines, the City Council should open the Public Hearing for comments, prior to discussion. The City Council may consider both written and verbal comments received during the Public Hearing or any written communication received prior to the hearing. If no comments or further discussion is necessary, Grant #20-CDBG-CV1-00183 shall be properly closed out. • Adopt Resolution 25-11 (Attachment B - Resolution 25-11) granting approval to the Hernandez Park Irrigation System Improvement Project Closeout Packet and to submit all closeout documentation to HCD based on the above referenced analysis and any additional modifications as deemed appropriate by the City Council.

Sections:

3.15.010 Purpose

3.15.020 Original Art Mural Registration

3.15.030 Grandfathering of Existing Original Art Murals

3.15.040 Original Art Mural Regulations

3.15.050 Prohibited Art Murals

3.15.060 Severability

3.15.010 Purpose
A. These regulations relating to Original Art Murals in the City of Calipatria further the following purposes: (1) encouraging artistic expression; (2) fostering a sense of pride; (3) preventing vandalism at mural sites through the installation of murals that vandals are reluctant to disturb; and (4) preserving existing murals that are a valued part of the history of the City of Calipatria.

B. The City wishes to encourage the installation of murals and, at the same time, prevent the proliferation of off-site commercial signs. Therefore, the City's mural regulations exclude commercial advertising on murals to prevent the installation of the equivalent of an off-site commercial sign on a mural. This restriction on commercial advertising is intended to work in tandem with and help preserve the citywide prohibition of off-site commercial signs, including billboards, as restricted via Section 3.12.030(B)(9) of the City of Calipatria Zoning Ordinance.

C. These mural regulations also promote public safety and welfare by regulating such displays in keeping with the following objectives:

1. That the design, construction, installation, repair and maintenance of such displays will not interfere with traffic safety or otherwise endanger public safety.

2. That the regulations will provide reasonable protection to the visual environment by controlling the size, height, spacing and location of such displays.

3. That the public will enjoy the aesthetic benefits of being able to view such displays in numbers and sizes that are reasonably and appropriately regulated without having to endure visual blight and traffic safety impacts that would be caused by such displays that are not reasonably and appropriately regulated.

4. That consideration will be given to equalizing the opportunity for messages to be displayed

5. That adequacy of message opportunity will be available to sign users without dominating the visual appearance of the area.

6. That the regulations will conform to judicial decisions, thereby limiting further costly litigation and facilitating enforcement of these regulations.

7. To provide registration requirements and regulations for Original Art Murals as defined in Chapter 5.10 of the City of Calipatria Zoning Ordinance.

3.15.020 Original Art Mural Registration

B. Administrative Rules. The Development Review Committee is authorized and directed to review and enforce the Mural Ordinance Administrative Rules in this Chapter.

C. Neighborhood Involvement Requirement. All applications for an Original Art Mural or Existing Art Mural shall include a neighborhood involvement requirement.

If a door tag cannot be placed as a result of a property being vacant or undeveloped, a notice shall be mailed out to the owners of any vacant or undeveloped properties within the 600-meter radius. No mural shall be registered until the applicant certifies that the neighborhood involvement requirement has been completed. This is a procedural requirement only, and the Projeet Development Review Committee shall review and provide a recommendation to the City Council Manager. The City Council Manager shall at all times retain sole authority to approve or deny an application for a mural based on the criteria in this Chapter.

D. Fees. The City Council of the City of Calipatria shall adopt applicable fees for mural reviews, such fees shall be fixed by resolution and be in an amount equal to the costs of processing original art mural review applications.

But an existing Original Art Mural which has not gained legal nonconforming status through law other than this Chapter cannot qualify for legal nonconforming status under this Chapter if it consists or contains any of the following: electrical or mechanical components, or changing images (moving structural elements, flashing or sequential lights, lighting elements, or other automated methods that result in movement, the appearance of movement, or change of mural image or message, not including static illumination turned off and back on not more than once every 24 hours).
