ATTACHMENTS: 1. Letter from Developer requesting unit reduction
2. Updated PLHA Development Agreement (revised from the version approved by the City Council on January 16, 2024)
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Councilmembers should consider recusal if a campaign contribution exceeding $250 has been received from the project proponent (developer, applicant, agent, and/or participants) within the preceding 12 months (Government Code 84308).
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the updated Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) development agreement with Central California Housing Corporation (dba Affordable Housing Development Corporation (AHDC)), and Better Opportunities Builder, Inc. (BOB), for the development of a 47-unit affordable senior rental housing project at 135 Osmun Avenue and authorize City Manager to sign the agreement and related documents.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Clovis is the recipient of Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds from the State of California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) for the development of affordable housing. On January 16, 2024, the City Council approved a development agreement with AHDC and BOB, for the use of PLHA funds at their 135 Osmun project, for the development of 51 senior rental housing units. Since the approval of the previous development agreement, the developers have slightly modified the proposed project and are now proposing a 47-unit project instead of a 51-unit project as previously approved by the City Council. The PLHA funding is still needed by the developers for this project and the same 14 AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.
number of PLHA units (six) will be made available by the developer – PLHA units will be restricted to households not exceeding 60% of area median income. The remaining units (except for one on-site manager unit) will be affordable and be available to households not exceeding 80% of area median income.
BACKGROUND
The Clovis City Council previously approved a development agreement for the 135 Osmun Project including $1,481,281 in PLHA funds. The originally proposed agreement included development of 51 affordable senior rental housing units.
Since that time City staff and developer representatives have continued to work on predevelopment of the project, including meeting with project area neighbors, PDS staff and State HCD staff to develop and finalize both the project and the development agreement. A neighborhood meeting was held on January 24, 2024, where neighborhood residents requested the developer modify the project design to reduce the project from three-stories to two-stories on the eastern facing side. To accommodate this request, the project design has been modified and the project is now proposed to be 47 units.
The previously approved development agreement, as approved by City Council and HCD, has not been executed, therefore an amendment to the previously approved agreement is not needed. Rather, approval of the attached updated development agreement is needed for the PLHA funding to be provided to this project and allow City staff and Developer representatives to move forward with the project pre-development and land acquisition, continue with the project design, and request project funding as previously proposed.
Council approval will include authorizing the City Manager to approve and sign the updated development agreement and any further revisions to the agreement and related project documents that may include a unit count change of up to 10% (more or less units) or a 10% change in the PLHA loan amount.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact with the approval of this amendment. PLHA project financing is currently available in the 2023-2024 Budget.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the updated agreement will allow for the development of an affordable senior rental housing project while addressing neighborhood requests regarding the project design and layout at 135 Osmun Avenue.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
City staff will effectuate signing of the development agreement, with the revised unit count before the end of the fiscal year.

RE: 135 Osmun Ave., Clovis, CA – Project Unit Count Amendment To Whom It May Concern,
Thank you for partnering with Better Opportunities Builder, Inc. (“BOB”) and Affordable Housing Development Corporation (“AHDC”), collectively referred to as “Developer”.
As the Developer of the proposed affordable senior housing located at 135 Osmun Ave. in Clovis, we would like to request an amendment to the current draft Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program Agreement (“Agreement”) with the City of Clovis. The current draft Agreement includes a project description that includes a total of 51 units of which 6 units are to funded by the PLHA Program Loan. We would like to request that the project description be amended to include a total of 47 units; there are no proposed changes to the 6 units to be funded by the PLHA Program Loan.
As part of our development process, we commonly engage with the surrounding neighborhood to inform them of the proposed project and seek feedback. Accordingly, we organized a community meeting on January 24th, 2024 at the City of Clovis Senior Activity Center which is in close proximity to the proposed Project development site.
Meeting invitations where sent to all surrounding property owners within a radius of approx. 500 feet from the subject development site. During the community meeting, we received meaningful feedback regarding various aspects of the proposed affordable housing development including concerns regarding the height of the three-story building. Generally, the building height concerns from the property owners located to the east of the development site, which consists of single-family homes.
Attachment 1 16
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.
In response to the community meeting feedback, we modified the building design by lowering the east-facing portion of the building down to two-stories. As a result of the design change, four units where reduced to accommodate change. We believe the design change, resulting in a unit reduction, will help mitigate and respond to the community feedback. Again, we would like to request that the Project description be amended to now reflect 47 units total. However, if this amendment is not possible, we do have the ability to revert back to the original design that provided for 51 units total.
Should you require any additional information or clarification regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected], or 559-513-5848.
Sincerely,
Michael Duarte

8. Severability. The invalidity of the Covenants and Restrictions or any other covenant, restriction, condition, limitation, or other provision of this Declaration shall not impair or affect in any manner the validity, enforceability, or effect of the rest of this Declaration and each shall be enforceable to the greatest extent permitted by law.
9. Pronouns. Any reference to the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender herein shall, unless the context clearly requires the contrary, be deemed to refer to and include all genders. Words in the singular shall include and refer to the plural, and vice versa, as appropriate.
10. Interpretation. The captions and titles of the various articles, sections, subsections, paragraphs, 68 AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.
and subparagraphs of this Declaration are inserted herein for ease and convenience of reference only and shall not be used as an aid in interpreting or construing this Declaration or any provision hereof.

8. Time is of the essence. It will be a default under this Note if the BORROWER defaults under the Agreement, any other Loan Document with the Lender, or this Note and such default continues beyond the notice and cure period as provided in such documents. In the event of a default by the BORROWER with respect to any sum payable under this Note and the failure to cure such default within ten (10) days, the BORROWER shall pay a late charge equal to the lesser of two percent (2.0%) of any outstanding payment or the maximum amount allowed by law.

Lender acknowledges and agrees that it shall send notice of any default hereunder to the limited partners of the BORROWER and shall accept any cure offered by such limited partners on the same basis as it would accept a cure from Borrower.
9. The indebtedness evidenced by this Note may, at the option of the BORROWER, be prepaid in whole or in part without penalty. Lender will apply all the prepayments first to the payment of any costs, fees, late charges, or other charges due under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents and then to the interest and then to the principal balance.
10. All Loan payments are payable in lawful money of the United States of America at any place that Lender or the legal holders of this Note may, from time to time, in writing designate.
11. The BORROWER agrees to pay all costs including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees, incurred by the holder of this Note in the successful enforcement of payment, whether or not suit is filed, and including, without limitation, all costs, reasonable attorney fees, and expenses incurred by the Lender or holder of this Note in connection with any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, or other similar proceedings involving the BORROWER that in any way affects the exercise by the Lender or holder of this Note of its rights and remedies under this Note. All costs incurred by the Lender or holder of this Note in any action undertaken to obtain relief from the stay of bankruptcy statutes are specifically included in those costs and expenses to be paid by the BORROWER.
73 AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.
12. Any notice, demand, or request relating to any matter set forth herein shall be in writing and shall be given as provided in the Agreement.
13. No delay or omission of the Lender in exercising any right or power arising in connection with any default will be construed as a waiver or as acquiescence, nor will any single or partial exercise preclude any further exercise. The Lender may waive any of the conditions in this Note and no waiver shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Lender’s rights under this Note, but rather will be deemed to have been made in pursuance of this Note and not in modification. No waiver of any default shall be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence in or consent to any preceding or subsequent default.
14. The Deed of Trust provides as follows:
Except as provided herein or in the Agreement, if the Trustor/Grantor shall sell, convey or alienate said property, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or shall be divested of his title or any interest therein in any manner or way, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, without the written consent of the Beneficiary being first had and obtained, Beneficiary shall have the right, at its option, except as prohibited by law, to declare any indebtedness or obligations secured hereby, irrespective of the maturity date specified in any Note evidencing the same, immediately due and payable.
15. The Lender may transfer this Note and deliver to the transferee all or any part of the Property then held by it as security under this Note, and the transferee will then become vested with all the powers and rights given to the Lender; and the Lender will then be forever relieved from any liability or responsibility in the matter, but the Lender will retain all rights and powers given by this Note with respect to Property not transferred.
16. If any one or more of the provisions in this Note is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired.
This Note shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the BORROWER, Lender, and their respective successors and assigns.
17. The BORROWER and Lender agree that this Note will be deemed to have been made under and will be governed by the laws of California in all respects, including matters of construction, validity, and performance, and that none of its terms or provisions may be waived, altered, modified, or amended except as the Lender and BORROWER may consent to in a writing duly signed by the BORROWER or Lender or its authorized agents.
18. This Note shall be nonrecourse to the BORROWER and all its constituent members and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Neither the BORROWER nor any of its general and limited partners shall have any personal liability for repayment of the Loan. The sole recourse of the Lender under the Loan Documents for repayment of the Loan shall be the exercise of its rights against the Property pursuant to the Deed of Trust and the Lender shall have no right to seek or recover any deficiency amount from the BORROWER or any partner of the BORROWER.

1. Payment of Principal. The Borrower shall promptly pay when due the principal indebtedness evidenced by the Note. The Lender shall reuse repayments consistent with the PLHA guidelines.
2. Hazard Insurance.

If the Property is abandoned by the Borrower, or if the Borrower fails to respond to the Lender within thirty (30) days from the date notice is mailed by the Lender to the Borrower that the insurance carrier offers to settle a claim for insurance benefits, the Lender is authorized to collect and apply the insurance proceeds at the Lender's option either to restoration or repair of the Property or to the sums secured by this Deed of Trust.

The Lender shall not be required to commence proceedings against such successor or refuse to extend time for payment or otherwise modify amortization of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust be reason of any demand made by the original Borrower and the Borrower's successors in interest. Any forbearance by the Lender in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be waiver of or preclude the exercise of any such right of remedy.
8. Successors and Assignees Bound; Joint and Several Liability; Co-Signers. The covenants and agreements herein contained shall bind, and the rights hereunder shall inure to the respective successors and assignees of the Lender and the Borrower. All covenants and agreements of the Borrower shall be joint and several.
Any borrower who co-signs this Deed of Trust, but does not execute the Note is:
(a) co-signing this Deed of Trust only to grant and convey that the Borrower's interest in the Property of Trustee under the terms of this Deed of Trust, and (b) not personally liable on the Note or under this Deed of Trust or the Note, without that Borrower's consent and without releasing that Borrower or modifying this Deed of Trust as to that Borrower's interest in the Property.
9. Transferability. One of the inducements to the Beneficiary for making the Loan is the identity of the Borrower. The existence of any interest in the Property other than the interests of the Borrower and Beneficiary and any encumbrance permitted in this Deed of Trust, even though subordinate to the security interest of the Beneficiary, and the existence of any interest in the Borrower other than those of the present owners, would impair the Property and the security interest of the Beneficiary, and, therefore, except as provided herein or in the Loan Documents, the Borrower will not sell, convey, assign, transfer, alienate, or otherwise dispose of its interest in the Property, either voluntarily or by operation of law, or agree to do so, without the prior written consent of the Beneficiary. The consent to one transaction by the Beneficiary shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to require consent to further or successive transactions. If the Borrower is a corporation, any sale, transfer, or disposition of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting interest of the Borrower or of any entity that directly or indirectly owns or controls the Borrower, including, without limitation, the parent company of the Borrower, and the parent company of the parent company of the Borrower, will constitute a sale of the Property for purposes of this section. If the Borrower is a partnership any change or addition of a general partner of the Borrower, change of a partnership 81 AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.
interest of the Borrower with the exception of a limited partner transfer, which shall not require the Beneficiary’s consent, or sale, transfer, or disposition of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting interest or partnership interest of any general partner of the Borrower or of any corporation, partnership or entity that directly or indirectly owns or controls any general partner of the Borrower, including, without limitation, each parent company of a general partner of the Borrower and each parent company of any parent company of a general partner of the Borrower, will constitute a sale of the Property for purposes of this section. If the Borrower is a limited liability company, any change of the manager or any sale, transfer or disposition of fifty percent (50%) or more of the partnership interests of the Borrower, or disposition of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting interest of the Borrower or of any corporation, partnership or entity that directly or indirectly owns or controls any member of the Borrower, including without limitations, each parent company of the Borrower and each parent company of any parent company of a member of the Borrower, will constitute a sale of the Property for purposes of this section. Any transaction in violation of this section will cause all indebtedness, irrespective of the maturity dates, at the option of the Beneficiary and without demand or notice, immediately to become due, together with any prepayment premium in accordance with the terms of the Note except as prohibited by law.
10. Notice. Except for any notice required under applicable law to be given in another manner, (a) any notice to the Borrower provided for in this Deed of Trust shall be given by delivering it or by mailing such notice by certified mail addressed to the Borrower at the Property address or at such other address as the Borrower may designate by notice to the Lender as provided herein, and (b) any notice to the lender shall be given by certified mail to the Lender's address stated herein or to such other address as the Lender may designate by notice to the Borrower as provided herein. Any notice provided for in this Deed of Trust shall be deemed to have been given to the Borrower or Lender when given in the manner designated herein.
11. Governing Law; Venue; Severability. The state and local laws applicable to this Deed of Trust shall be the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Property is located.
Venue for any judicial actions shall be in the Fresno County Superior Court or the United States District Court, Eastern District of California, as the case may be. The foregoing sentence shall not limit the applicability of Federal law to this Deed of Trust or if the Note conflicts with applicable law, such conflict shall not affect other provisions of this Deed of Trust or the Note which can be given effect without the conflicting provision, and to this end the provisions of this Deed of Trust and the Note are declared to be severable. As used herein, "costs", "expenses", and "attorney's fees" include all sums to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or limited herein.
12. Borrower's Copy. The Borrower shall be furnished a copy of the Note and a conformed copy of the recorded Deed of Trust at the time of execution or after recordation thereof.
82 AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.
13. Acceleration; Remedies. Upon the Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of the Borrower in this Deed of Trust, including the covenants to pay when due any sums secured by this Deed of Trust, the Note or the PLHA Program restrictions, the Lender prior to acceleration shall give notice to the Borrower as provided in section 10 hereof specifying: (1) the breach; (2) the action required to cure such breach; (3) a date, not less than ten (10) days from the date notice is mailed to the Borrower, by which such breach must be cured or thirty (30) days for a non-monetary default; and (4) that failure to cure such breach on or before the date specified in the notice may result in acceleration of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust and sale of the Property. The notice shall further inform the Borrower of the right to reinstate after acceleration and the right to bring a court action to assert the nonexistence of a default or any other defense of the Borrower to acceleration and sale. If the breach is not cured on or before the date specified in the notice, the Lender, at the Lender's option may declare all of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable without further demand and may invoke the power of sale and any other remedies permitted by applicable law. The Lender shall be entitled to collect all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in pursuing the remedies provided in this section 13, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees. If the Lender invokes the power of sale, the Lender shall execute or cause the Trustee to execute a written notice of the occurrence of an event of default and of the Lender's election to cause the Property to be sold and shall cause such notice to be recorded in each county in which the Property or some part thereof is located. The Lender or the Trustee shall mail copies of such notice in the manner prescribed by applicable law. The Trustee shall give public notice of sale to the persons and in the manner prescribed by applicable law. After the lapse of such time as may be required by applicable law, the Trustee, without demand on the Borrower, shall sell the Property at public auction to the highest bidder at the time and place and under the terms designated in the notice of sale in one or more parcels and in such order as Trustee may determine. The Trustee may postpone sale of all or any parcel of the Property by public announcement at the time and place of any previously scheduled sale. The Lender or the Lender's designee may purchase the Property at any sale. The Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser the Trustee's deed conveying the Property so sold without any covenant or warranty, expressed or implied. The recitals in the Trustee's deed shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of the statements made therein. The Trustee shall apply the proceeds of the sale in the following order: (a) to all reasonable costs and expenses of the sale, including, but not limited to, reasonable Trustee's and attorney's fees and costs of title evidence; (b) to all sums secured by this Deed of Trust; and (c) the excess, if any, to the person, persons, or entities legally entitled thereto.
14. Borrower's Right to Reinstate. Notwithstanding the Lender's acceleration of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust due to the Borrower's breach, the Borrower shall have the right to have any proceedings begun by the Lender to enforce this Deed of Trust discontinued at any time prior to five days before sale of the Property pursuant to the power of sale contained in this Deed of Trust or at any time prior 83 AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.
to entry of a judgment enforcing this Deed of Trust if: (a) the Borrower pays the Lender all sums which would be then due under this Deed of Trust and the Note had no acceleration occurred; (b) the Borrower cures all breaches of any other covenants or agreements of Borrower contained in this Deed of Trust; (c) the Borrower pays all reasonable expenses incurred by the Lender and Trustee in enforcing the covenants and agreements of Borrower in section 13 hereof, including but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees; and (d) the Borrower takes such action as the Lender may reasonably require to assure that the lien of this Deed of Trust, Lender's interest in the Property and the Borrower's obligation to pay the sums secured by this Deed of Trust shall continue unimpaired. Upon such payment and cure by the Borrower, this Deed of Trust and the obligations secured hereby shall remain in full force and effect as if no acceleration had occurred.
15. Nonrecourse. The sole recourse of the Lender under the Loan Documents for repayment of the Note shall be the exercise of its rights against the Property.
16. Withdrawal, Removal and/or Replacement. If applicable, the removal or replacement of any general partner of the Borrower pursuant to the terms of a partnership agreement due to violation by a general partner of the terms of a partnership agreement, or a voluntary withdrawal from a partnership by a general partner, and any transfer of limited partnership interest or interests in the same, shall not constitute a default under any of the Loan Documents, and any such actions shall not accelerate the maturity of the loan.
17. Lien of Deed of Trust. The Beneficiary agrees that the lien of this Deed of Trust shall be subordinated to any senior lender housing commitment (as such term is defined in Section (42(h)(6)(B) of the internal Revenue Code) (the Extended Use Agreement) recorded against the Property, provided that such Extended Use Agreement, by its terms, must terminate upon foreclosure under this Deed of Trust or upon a transfer of the Property by instrument of lieu of foreclosure, in accordance with Section 42(h)(6)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code, subject to the limitations upon evictions, terminations of tenancies and increases in gross rents of tenants of low-income units as provided in that Section.
18. Assignment of Rent; Appointment of Receiver; Lender in Possession. As additional security hereunder, the Borrower hereby assigns to the Lender the rents of the Property, provided that the Borrower shall, prior to acceleration under section 13 or abandonment of the Property, have the right to collect and retain such rents as they become due and payable. Upon acceleration under section 13 hereunder or abandonment of the Property, the Lender, in person, by agent or by judicially appointed receiver shall be entitled to enter upon, take possession of and manage the Property and to collect the rents of the Property including those past due. All rents collected by the Lender or the receiver shall be applied first to premiums on receiver's bonds and reasonable attorney's fees, and then to the sums secured by this Deed of Trust. The Lender and the receiver shall be liable to account only for those rents actually received.
84 AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.
19. Release of Deed and Note. Upon payment of all sums secured by this Deed of Trust, the Lender shall request the Trustee to surrender this Deed of Trust, and the notes evidencing indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust to Trustee.
20. Substitute Trustee. At the Lender's option, the Lender may from time to time, appoint a successor trustee to any Trustee appointed hereunder by an instrument executed and acknowledged by the Lender and recorded in the Fresno County Recorder's Office. The instrument shall contain the name of the original the Lender, Trustee and Borrower, the book and page where this Instrument is recorded and the name and address of the successor trustee. The successor trustee shall, without conveyance of the Property, succeed to all the title, powers and duties conferred upon the Trustee herein and by applicable law. This procedure for substitution of trustee shall govern to the exclusion of all other provisions for substitution.
21. Statement of Obligation. The Lender may collect a fee not to exceed fifty dollars ($50.00) for furnishing the statement of obligation as provided by Section 2943 of the Civil Code of California.
22. Event of Default. Prior to declaring or taking any remedy permitted under Loan Documents, (where applicable) the Borrower’s limited partners shall have an additional period of not less than thirty (30) days to cure such alleged default.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a default that cannot with reasonable diligence be remedied or cured within thirty (30) days, the Borrower’s limited partners shall have such additional time as reasonably necessary to remedy or cure such default, but in no event more than ninety (90) days from the expiration of the initial thirty (30) day period above, and if the Borrower’s limited partners reasonably believe that in order to cure such default, the Borrower’s limited partners must remove one or both of the Borrower’s general partners in order to cure such default, the Borrower’s limited partners shall have an additional thirty (30) days following the effective date of such removal to cure such default. To the extent that there is a conflict between this section 22 and any remedy permitted by the PLHA Agreement, Loan Documents, or Loan, the terms of this section 22 shall control.
The following events are each an “Event of Default”:
(a) Default in the payment of any sum of principal or interest when due under the Note or any other sum due under the Loan Documents. (b) Failure to maintain insurance as provided in Section 2 hereof. (c) The failure (without cure during the applicable period, if any, for cure) of any the Borrower to observe, perform, or discharge any obligation, term, covenant, or condition of any of the Loan Documents, any agreement relating to the Property, or any agreement or instrument between Borrower and the Beneficiary.
85 AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.
(d) The assignment by the Borrower, as lessor or sublessor, as the case may be, of the rents or the income of the Property or any part of it (other than to Beneficiary) without first obtaining the written consent of the Beneficiary. (e) Any of the following events:
(i) the filing of any claim or lien against the Property or any party of it, whether or not the lien is prior to this Deed of Trust, and the continued maintenance of the claim or lien for a period of thirty (30) days without discharge, satisfaction, or adequate bonding in accordance with the terms of this Deed of Trust;
(ii) the existence of any interest in the Property other than those of the Borrower, Beneficiary, any tenants of the Borrower, and any one listed in a title exception approved by the Beneficiary in writing; or (iii) the sale, hypothecation, conveyance, or other disposition of the Property except with the express written approval of the Beneficiary, any of which will be an Event of Default because the Borrower’s obligation to own and operate the Property is one of the inducements to the Beneficiary to make the Loan;
(f) Default under any agreement to which the Borrower is a party, which agreement relates to the borrowing of money by the Borrower from Beneficiary.
(g) Any presentation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any other Person under this Deed of Trust or in, under, or pursuant to the Loan Documents, is false or misleading in any material respect as of the date on which the representation or warranty was made.
(h) Any of the Loan Documents, at any time after their respective execution and delivery and for any reason, cease to be in full force or are declared null and void, or the validity or enforceability is contested by the Borrower or any stockholder or partner of the Borrower, or the Borrower denies that it has any or further liability or obligation under any of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. If one or more Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Beneficiary may declare all the Indebtedness to be due and the Indebtedness will become due without any further presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, and the Beneficiary may:
(i) in person, by agent, or by a receiver, and without regard to the adequacy of security, the solvency of the Borrower, or the existence of waste, enter on and take possession of the Property or any party of it in its own name or in the name of Trustee, sue for or otherwise collect the rents, issues, and profits, and apply them, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, upon the Indebtedness, all in any order that the Beneficiary many determine. The entering on and taking possession 86 AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.
of the Property, the collection of rents, issues, and profits, and the application of them will not cure or waive any default or notice of default or invalidate any act done pursuant to the notice; (ii) commence an action to foreclose this Deed of Trust in the manner provided by law for the foreclosure of mortgages of real property; (iii) deliver to the Trustee a written declaration of default and demand for sale, and a written notice of default and election to cause the Property to be sold, which notice the Trustee or the Beneficiary will cause to be filed for record;
(iv) with respect to any personal property, proceed as to both the real and personal property in accordance with the Beneficiary’s rights and remedies in respect of the Property, or proceed to sell the personal property separately and without regard to the Property in accordance with the Beneficiary’s rights and remedies; or
(v) exercise any of these remedies in combination or any other remedy at law or in equity.
23. Protection of Security. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Beneficiary or Trustee, without notice to or demand upon the Borrower, and without releasing the Borrower from any obligations or defaults may:
(a) enter on the Property in any manner and to any extent that either deems necessary to protect the security of this Deed of Trust; (b) appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect, in any manner, the Obligations or the Indebtedness, the security of this Deed of Trust, or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; (c) pay, purchase, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien that in the judgment of Beneficiary or Trustee is prior or senior to this deed of Trust; and
(d) pay expenses relating to the Property and its sale, employ counsel, and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees.
The Borrower agrees to repay on demand all sums expended by the Trustee or the Beneficiary pursuant to this section with interest at the Note Rate of Interest, and those sums, with interest, will be secured by this Deed of Trust.
24. Effect of Assignment. The assignment of rents as provided herein will not impose on the Beneficiary any duty to produce rents, issues, or profits from the Property, or cause the Beneficiary to be:
(a) a “mortgage-in-possession” for any purpose;
(b) responsible for performing any of the obligations of the lessor under any of the Leases; or
(c) responsible for any waste committed by lessees or any other parties, any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair, or control of the Property. 87 AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.
The Beneficiary shall not be liable to the Borrower as a consequence of the exercise of the rights granted to the Beneficiary under this assignment or the failure of the Beneficiary to perform any obligation of the Borrower arising under Leases.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has executed this Deed of Trust on the day and year set forth above. By signing below, Borrower agrees to the terms and conditions as set forth above.

Councilmembers should consider recusal if a campaign contribution exceeding $250 has been received from the project proponent (developer, applicant, agent, and/or participants) within the preceding 12 months (Government Code 84308).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Attached is the Investment Report for the month of January 2024. Shown in Attachment 1 is the distribution of investments which lists all the individual securities owned by the City with the book and market values. Book value is the actual price paid for the investment. Market value is the amount that the investment is worth if sold in the open market. The market value (which fluctuates daily) that is used in the report is as of the last working day of the month. Attachment 2 reflects the monthly investment transactions for the month of January 2024. Attachment 3 lists the certificates of deposit. Attachment 4 lists the municipal securities. Attachment 5 is a graph of Treasury rates on January 31, 2024.
The investment of the City’s funds is performed in accordance with the adopted Investment Policy. Funds are invested with the following objectives in mind:
1. Assets are invested in adherence with the safeguards and diversity of a prudent investor.
2. The portfolio is invested in a manner consistent with the primary emphasis on preservation of the principal, while attaining a high rate of return consistent with this guideline. Trading of securities for the sole purpose of realizing trading profits is prohibited. 89 AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.
3. Sufficient liquidity is maintained to provide a source for anticipated financial obligations as they become due.
4. Investments may be made, consistent with the Investment Policy Guidelines, in fixed income securities maturing in three years or less and can be extended to five years with the City Manager’s approval.
The Finance Department invests the City’s assets with an expectation of achieving a total rate of return at a level that exceeds the annualized rate of return on short-term government guaranteed or insured obligations (90-day Treasury bills) and to assure that the principal is preserved with minimal risk of depreciation or loss. In periods of rising interest rates, the City of Clovis portfolio return may be less than that of the annualized 90-day Treasury bill. In periods of decreasing interest rates, the City of Clovis portfolio return may be greater than the annualized 90-day Treasury bill. The current 90-day Treasury bill rate (annualized) is 5.24%. The rate of return for the City of Clovis portfolio is 3.35%. The goal for the City of Clovis investment return is 120% of the 90-day Treasury bill rate. The current rate of return is 64% of the Treasury bill rate.
In accordance with the Investment Policy, the investment period on each investment does not exceed three years and can be extended to five years with the City Manager’s approval. As of January 2024, the average investment life of the City’s investment portfolio is 1.93 years.
Current Investment Environment and Philosophy
During the month of January 2024, the federal funds rate remained at 5.25%-5.50%. On January 31, 2024, the Treasury yield curve decreased from 3-month to 10-year notes.
Certificates of Deposit (CD’s)
The City purchases both negotiable and non-negotiable Certificates of Deposit (CD’s). Although negotiable CD’s can be traded, it is the City’s policy to buy and hold all CD’s. Negotiable CD’s are held by U.S. Bank, a third party custodian. Non-negotiable CD’s are held in the City’s safe.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Councilmembers should consider recusal if a campaign contribution exceeding $250 has been received from the project proponent (developer, applicant, agent, and/or participants) within the preceding 12 months (Government Code 84308).
RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to receive and file the Fire Department’s Annual Report for 2023.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Fire Department Annual Report for 2023 is the Department’s way of communicating to elected officials, cooperating fire agencies, and most importantly, our community, the quality and quantity of service provided to our citizens in 2023. The report also serves as a record of our activities and accomplishments for future reference and comparison.
BACKGROUND
2023 was a productive year for the Department. The accomplishments achieved could have only been achieved with the coordination and support of City Council, City staff, and our dedicated Department members.
Notable Accomplishments of 2023:
Re-accreditation for the fifth time through the Commission on Fire Accreditation International, extending our accreditation status for another five years from 2023-2027. Purchased six LUCAS automatic chest compression devices to outfit all frontline apparatus through grant funding to improve cardiac arrest survival during cardiac arrest events.
The reconstruction of Station 2 began in February of 2023. New Training Center Classroom construction completed, temporarily housing the Station 2 crew until the station is completed.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.
Over the past twenty years, the Fire Department has accomplished so much with the resources provided, and we will continue to use the resources provided wisely to serve the citizens of the community. During this period, the Fire Department has maintained accreditation, improved their ISO rating, and found other funding sources for improvements.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

Message from the
Fire Chief
It is my honor to present my first annual report as fire chief to our community. This document serves as our way to communicate our accomplishments, level of service, and the challenges that we face to our city council members, cooperating agencies, and most importantly our citizens and customers who we serve. Our team is made up of 73 dedicated professionals Chris Ekk
Fire Chief
01 2023 Annual Report
CLOVIS FIRE DEPARETMENT
2023 saw many changes throughout the ranks of our Department. Fire Chief John Binaski and Captain Tim Wilson retired, and 10 personnel were promoted behind these retirements. The strength of our team is due to the work of our members and their dedication to our community.
These are our significant accomplishments for 2023:
Re-accreditation for the fifth time through the Commission on Fire Accreditation International, extending our accreditation status for another five years from 2023-2027.
Purchased six LUCAS automatic chest compression devices to outfit all frontline apparatus through grant funding to improve cardiac arrest survival during cardiac arrest events.
The reconstruction of Station 2 began in February of 2023.
New Training Center Classroom construction completed, temporarily housing the Station 2 crew until the station is completed.
As Clovis continues to grow, our response times have also increased. Since 2008, the population has increased by 39% and our call volume has increased from 9,003 calls per year to 13,242 calls in 2023, a 44% increase. Within the next three years we will see significant turnover in our headquarter staff due to retirements. We are currently implementing a succession plan to ensure a smooth transition in these positions. Recruitment of firefighters has become more difficult in our last three recruitments over the last five years. What was once 400 to 500 applicants 10 years ago, has dwindled to less than 100 applicants in our last recruitment cycle. For the first time, we have created a recruitment committee to begin actively recruiting for future firefighter hiring.
Despite the challenges that lie ahead, I am positive that our Department will continue to provide the highest level of service possible that our citizens deserve. Our members are committed to supporting the mission of the City and our Department, and we will continue to look for the best solutions possible to overcome these challenges. Our members are our best asset, and I am proud to serve with them as their fire chief.
With all of our successes, we are also facing some challenges in the near future that we will have to prepare for.

The Clovis Fire Department utilizes the annual compiling of the Annual Report as an opportunity to evaluate the Department’s progress in meeting the goals and initiatives set for in the Strategic Plan. The metrics listed below are the high-level indicators that the Department uses to determine effectiveness and efficiency in a number of vital service delivery categories. The 2023 data shows that although we have added a new fire station in 2022, response times have not improved as expected. As the City’s service area expands, meeting our established service goals without a disparate impact to growth areas will become increasingly more challenging. 02 106

Crews were dispatched to a fire at a 3-story apartment complex under construction. Fire attack was delayed due to a locked gate and a badly damaged fire hydrant. Crews worked quickly on alternative water resources and the fire was contained with minimized damage. No injuries were reported.

2023 Annual Report
CLOVIS FIRE DEPARETMENT
The Department has placed a major emphasis on improving the fire apparatus resources to decrease repair costs, reduce out-of-service time, and enhance vehicle capabilities to better serve the community. In 2017, an analysis of the Department’s Facilities and Apparatus was conducted and a plan adopted to maximize efficiencies.
The plan outlined that all frontline apparatus should have lifespan of 10 years before placed in the reserve status and all Facilities would be evaluated annually. Based upon these goals, money was set aside in the Fleet Replacement Schedule, apparatus purchases are scheduled and included in the five-year forecast and the annual Facilities Evaluation is used to properly fund the remodeling or building of facilities.
Since 2017, the Department has been able to replace 10 apparatus and the average age of the fleet went from 12.3 years to 9.7 years in 2023. In that same time we have seen the construction of Fire Station 6, a modular training building at the Training Center, and the demolition and rebuild of Fire Station 2 (set to open in August 2024).
As we look to the future, we have the replacement of Engine 42 set for delivery in Fall 2024. The Department has applied for grants through the San Joaquin Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPD) to assist with the replacement of Water Tender 40 (2003) and GEM Car (2002). Development has began in the northwest region of the City and planning for Fire Station 7, including watching response times and established metrics, has begun. Fire Station 3 was constructed 35 years ago and is missing a gym, dining room, and proper storage. A remodel is required and funding avenues are being explored; additional resources may be needed through the CIP process. 08 Fire Station 2
Demolition: Fire Staff assisted the
construction crew to demo the nearly
50 year old station in April 2023.
Reconstruction: The new station
expected to open in August 2024 will
be the crowning jewel of Helm Ranch.

SUBJECT: Planning and Development Services – Approval – Res.24-___, Adopt a list of projects funded by SB1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act.
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Resolution 24-____
2. Vicinity Map
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Councilmembers should consider recusal if a campaign contribution exceeding $250 has been received from the project proponent (developer, applicant, agent, and/or participants) within the preceding 12 months (Government Code 84308).
RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to approve a resolution to adopt a list of projects funded by Senate Bill (SB) 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Prior to receiving an apportionment of Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funds from the Controller in a fiscal year, a city or county must submit to the California Transportation Commission a list of projects proposed to be funded with these funds. All projects proposed to receive funding must be adopted by resolution by the applicable city council or county board of supervisors at a regular public meeting [SHC 2034(a)(1)].
Pursuant to SHC Section 2034(a)(1) a resolution of the list for SB1 funding is submitted for adoption. The project list submitted is for two street sections that have been called out in the 2024-2025 Five-year Community Investment Program (CIP), specifically the 2024-2025 fiscal year. The two Projects are:
1) Teague Avenue Improvements from Willow Avenue to Peach Avenue 2) Peach Avenue Improvements from Gettysburg Avenue to Ashlan Avenue 118
AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.
BACKGROUND
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill (SB) 1 (Beall, Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017), which is known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. To address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation and critical safety needs on both the state highway and local streets and road system, SB 1: increases per gallon fuel excise taxes; increases diesel fuel sales taxes and vehicle registration fees; and provides for inflationary adjustments to tax rates in future years.
Beginning November 1, 2017, the State Controller (Controller) started to deposit various portions of this new funding into the newly created Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). A percentage of this new RMRA funding will be apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties pursuant to Streets and Highways Code (SHC) Section 2032(h) for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and roads system.
SB 1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in the delivery of California’s transportation programs. Therefore, in order to be eligible for RMRA funding, statute requires cities and counties to provide basic annual RMRA project reporting to the California Transportation Commission (Commission).
Prior to receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds from the Controller in a fiscal year, a city or county must submit to the Commission a list of projects proposed to be funded with these funds pursuant to an adopted resolution by the city council at a regular public meeting [SHC 2034(a)(1)].
Pursuant to SHC Section 2034(a)(1) a resolution of the list for SB1 funding is submitted for adoption. The project list submitted is for two street sections that have been called out in the 2024-2025 Five-year Community Investment Program (CIP), specifically the 2024-2025 fiscal year. The two Projects are:
1) Teague Avenue Improvements from Willow Avenue to Peach Avenue 2) Peach Avenue Improvements from Gettysburg Avenue to Ashlan Avenue The projects on the list have been chosen by using the City of Clovis Pavement Management System and are programed in the CIP five-year budget.
FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated cost for the two projects submitted for the SB1 list is $2.2 million. The projects will be included in the 2024-2025 CIP budget. The City of Clovis will receive an estimated $3,186,837 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2024-25 from SB 1. The SB1 funding the city will receive in fiscal year 2024-2025 is enough funding to cover the expected cost of the two projects.
The projected funding received in subsequent years is expected to increase by a small percentage each year.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
To be eligible to receive the City of Clovis’ apportionment of RMRA funding from the State Controller this fiscal year.
119
AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Staff will submit the SB1 project list and resolution to the California Transportation Commission pursuant to SHC Section 2034(a)(1).

SUBJECT: Public Utilities – Approval – Waive Formal Bidding Requirements and Authorize the Purchase of a 2024 Avant M755 Tractor from California Turf Equipment & Supply Company in the Amount of $83,493.37.
ATTACHMENTS: None
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Councilmembers should consider recusal if a campaign contribution exceeding $250 has been received from the project proponent (developer, applicant, agent, and/or participants) within the preceding 12 months (Government Code 84308).
RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to approve waiving the City’s formal bidding requirements and authorize purchasing a 2024 Avant M755 tractor from California Turf Equipment & Supply Company in the amount of $83,493.37, including fees and taxes.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
There are funds in this fiscal year’s Fleet Renewal budget to purchase a 2024 Avant M755 tractor for the Public Utilities Department Parks Division. The existing equipment is scheduled to be replaced due to its age. The competitively bid price of $83,493.37 is from California Turf and Equipment Supply Company using the Sourcewell Purchasing Contract. The new tractor meets current offroad emissions requirements.
The Sourcewell Purchasing contract, formerly the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA) contract, is a nationwide public procurement service that makes the governmental procurement process more efficient. All contracts available to participating members have been awarded by virtue of a public competitive procurement process compliant with state statutes.
BACKGROUND
The recommended tractor is available from California Turf Equipment & Supply Company and meets the department’s needs. The tractor is available to be ordered and will be built according to Public Utilities Department Parks Division needs.
124
AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.
The Fleet Fund includes a vehicle and equipment replacement program where the different City departments budget for and contribute a set amount of money annually for the future scheduled replacement of a vehicle or piece of equipment. This allows each department, and the divisions within the departments, to financially plan for the large capital expense of purchasing new vehicles and equipment that need to be replaced due to age, wear and tear, or to meet regulatory requirements. Depending on the condition and need of the vehicle or equipment being replaced, it will be moved from front-line operation and may be kept as a back-up, or it will be auctioned off in the City’s vehicle and equipment surplus program.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds were included in the 2023-2024 Fleet Capital Acquisition budget, often referred to as the Fleet Renewal or Fleet Replacement budget. The Parks Division in the Public Utilities Department has accumulated the necessary funds for replacement of the equipment.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
Sufficient replacement funds have been collected for the purchase of the replacement equipment. The existing equipment has been in service for almost 12 years and is scheduled for replacement. Staff has evaluated the available equipment and it meets the needs of the Public Utilities Department Parks Division. The proposed method of purchasing the equipment is costeffective and sufficient funds are available.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Purchase orders will be prepared for the City Manager’s approval and sent to the vendor.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
According to the Municipal Code, the City Manager is responsible for providing the City Council with a recommended annual budget prior to commencement of the succeeding fiscal year and by no later than the third regular Council meeting in May. The Annual Budget is a plan for the financial operations of the City and includes a spending plan for all City operations, a five-year community investment program, and estimated revenues for the upcoming fiscal year.
The purpose of the budget is to enable the City Council to make financial plans for current and long-term expenditure needs, to ensure that executive management is administering the plans as set forth, and to allow citizens and investors with an opportunity to form opinions about the financial policies and administration of the City.
BACKGROUND
The 2024-25 Annual Budget is the spending plan for community investment in local services such as public safety, parks and recreation, transit, streets, water and sewer, and repairs/maintenance of public facilities. The Annual Budget is also the spending plan for investment in infrastructure for the community. The Annual Budget provides for a range of public services and focuses on those services that are essential to our citizens. Continuing prudent fiscal decisions and ongoing economic development initiatives enable the City to grow service levels and remain fiscally sustainable.
The General Fund Emergency Reserve is being maintained at $22.6 million or 20.3% of expenditures set aside for unforeseen emergencies. The budget also includes $53.5 million in City capital improvement projects.
The 2024-25 annual Budget highlights include:
Provide Targeted Neighborhood Revitalization Investments. This is a long-term effort to improve community appearance, neighborhood stabilization, amenities in older neighborhoods, and economic opportunities. These investments total $9.97 million in the proposed 2024-2025 budget building on investments in 2022- 2023 and 2023-2024 of over $40 million including the following for the 2024- 2025 fiscal year:
o Affordable Housing Programs Continue Unprecedented Level of Investment of nearly $4.56 million in Grant and City Funding. $2.6 million for Housing Rehabilitation Loans
$0.7 million for Down-Payment Housing Assistance
$1.0 million to support the creation of new affordable housing. Continuing the Emergency Housing Repairs Program at $0.26 million o Active code enforcement will continue with a cross-department effort. 127
AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.
o Public street improvements. Reconstruct or Design:
Reconstruct Sunnyside Avenue – Barstow to Shaw Avenues. Reconstruct Ashlan Avenue – Winery to Peach Avenues.
Reconstruct Barstow Avenue – Sunnyside to Fowler & Villa to Minnewawa Avenues.
Reconstruct Peach Avenue – Gettysburg to Ashlan Avenues. Willow Avenue – Shaw to Barstow.
Construct ADA Improvements as part of various street improvement projects. o Sidewalk Improvements. Construction of sidewalks near Sierra Vista Elementary School and on Villa Avenue from Gettysburg to Santa Ana. o Alley Improvements. Reconstruct various alleys in eligible lower-income neighborhoods.
o Economic Development Investments.
Revitalization planning for underutilized Shaw Avenue commercial properties.
Offer small and micro business incubation services in Southwest Clovis in partnership with the Clovis Culinary Center and regional partners. Continue marketing the area for retail and job generating uses to serve adjacent to the neighborhoods and the City as a whole.
Enhance Public Safety. Public safety is a core service to the City. o Increase of 3 sworn Police personnel bringing the total authorized to 125 officers. o The budget provides for the replacement of 9 additional vehicles in the Police Department and a new bomb squad vehicle.
Provide Fiscal Security. The Emergency Reserve is proposed to be 20.3% (of General Fund Expenditures), or $22.6 million, set aside this year for unforeseen emergencies. This is a slight drop from the previous on a percentage basis. The City’s auditors recommended a target amount of 20%-25% as a prudent reserve for a city operation the size of Clovis. This fund protects service levels from catastrophic and unexpected losses. Utilization of these funds requires a 4/5ths vote of the City Council.
Further Secure Water Supplies and Systems.
o Continue investments with the Fresno Irrigation District for the firm surface water supply.
o Improve treatment at the Surface Water Treatment Plant and City water wells to improve the quality of the water and add additional groundwater recharge facilities.
o Design of Wastewater diversion improvements to increase capacity of the Sewer System.
o Update Sewer and Recycled Water Master Plans.
Invest in Employees. The budget includes a budgeted cost of living increase and funds for employee benefits. Funds for training and educational opportunities have been included and encouraged to be used to allow employees to reach their full potential at the City.
Invest in Planning our Future. The budget includes funding for the update to the General Plan.
128
AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.
Invest in the City’s Economic Future. Staff will be actively working on attracting commercial and industrial businesses to Clovis to add jobs and revenues to the City.
Staff will continue to make strategic marketing efforts aimed at top revenue producing businesses to support the financial needs of the City. Relationships are being developed with critical development partners in the community and assisting projects through the development process. Staff will also be working with regional partners to develop entrepreneurial and small business growth resources. Staff will continue a focused marketing effort on reinforcing Clovis as a medical hub for services, education, and research leverage with the expansion of Clovis Regional Medical Center and the expansion of California Health Sciences University. Expand the Trail System and Parks. City funds are budgeted to design and construct the Dry Creek/Enterprise Trail Connection and a new park in the Loma Vista area that will also allow for groundwater recharge.
The 2024-25 Annual Budget for all funds, which totals $358.5 million, is balanced using some past year revenues. This budget represents an 8% increase compared to the approved budget for 2023-24 due to increases in salaries and benefits, operational costs, and inflationary increases in services, materials, and supplies.
A summary of expenditures by function is provided below:
The General Fund, which is the only source of discretionary funding used for basic government services such as public safety, streets, parks, recreation, and senior services, is budgeted to increase 5% above estimated expenditures for 2023-24. Department budgets are proposed to increase due to budget increases for core services as well as additional salary and benefit costs.
Total current revenue in the General Fund is estimated at $110.4 million and expenditures of $111.3 million are being proposed.
The Executive Summary and Introduction Sections of the Annual Budget provides an overview of the important goals, target actions, resulting projects, and fiscal overview addressed within the budget. The Annual Budget presented to the City Council addresses the goals by which the community will measure its success, meets the most essential service needs for the community, provides substantial investment in planned maintenance of sewer, water, and street facilities, directs resources to economic development and support for job creation, continues the effort to plan for the community, and is balanced, with prudent emergency reserve funding set aside, as General Government $ 9,977,500

requested by the Council. For these reasons, the budget is recommended for consideration and adoption by the City Council.
Attached is the Budget Document containing additional summary narratives, details of revenues, expenditures, personnel, and debt and capital projects.
FISCAL IMPACT
In accordance with the Municipal Code, and in compliance with State law, the City Council is required to adopt a balanced, annual budget for each fiscal year by June 30. The Annual Budget provides a spending plan for the upcoming year that is balanced with expenditures kept in line with revenues, includes a five-year community investment program, includes a prudent reserve of funds for emergencies and unforeseen events, and authorizes position allocations, all as approved by the Council.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The City Council must conduct a public hearing to provide an opportunity for the public to comment on the proposed Annual Budget; must review the proposal to determine that the financial plan fairly represents the fiscal policies and priorities of the City Council; and is required by local ordinance, in compliance with State law, to adopt a balanced budget by no later than June 30, 2024. If the Council fails to adopt a budget by that date, then the City Manager’s proposed budget will automatically become effective to avoid any interruption in City operations, but no capital projects or capital purchases would be allowed until final action by the City Council.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
On May 13, 2024, the 2024-25 City of Clovis Annual Budget will be presented with a recommendation to open the public hearing for departmental review and comment, continue the public hearings to May 20, 2024, for further Council input and adopt the budget resolution no later than June 30, 2024. Copies of the recommended Annual Budget will be available for review by the public by May 13, 2024, and prior to the budget hearings at the Clovis Branch of the Fresno County Library, at City Hall, and on the City’s website found at www.cityofclovis.com.

To: Mayor Ashbeck, Members of the City Council, and Citizens of Clovis
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The 2024-2025 Annual Budget for general operations and capital improvement programs for the City of Clovis in the amount of $358.5 million is hereby submitted, in accordance with the Clovis Municipal Code.
The 2024-2025 Annual Budget was developed as the revenues to grow the City’s operations to match growth and keep up with rising inflationary pressure is becoming a challenge. Staff sought significant community input on budget priorities through surveys and community outreach events. The 2024-2025 Annual Budget focuses on the number one priority residents provided, maintain Clovis as a safe community. This is the only area the General Fund is proposing to increase staffing with 3 sworn Police Officer positions. Other revenue sources are allowing the City to make targeted investments in the City to improve the quality of life for its residents. Economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and increased demand for services are pushing the General Fund to the edge of sustainability.
Without changes in revenue streams and/or expenditures in future years the City will not be able to maintain the current solid fiscal position and the level of service our residents expect. Despite the headwinds the proposed budget solidifies the City’s financial position by maintaining reserves but makes little investment in deferred maintenance and fleet replacement and does not anticipate additional funds being available to add to the emergency reserve.
Highlights. The 2024-2025 Annual Budget is the spending plan for local services and investment in infrastructure of the community. The Annual Budget provides for a range of public services and focuses on those services that are essential to our citizens. Despite anticipated challenges with revenues the City is still pushing forward initiatives and improvements to maintain a high quality of life for its residents. The 2024-2025 Annual Budget highlights include:
Provide Targeted Neighborhood Revitalization Investments. This is a long-term effort to improve community appearance, neighborhood stabilization, amenities in older neighborhoods, and economic opportunities. These investments total $9.97 million in the proposed 2024-2025 budget building on investments in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 of over $40 million, including the following for the 2024-2025 fiscal year:
o Affordable Housing Programs Continue Unprecedented Level of Investment of nearly $4.56 million in Grant and City Funding.
$2.6 million for Housing Rehabilitation Loans
$0.7 million for Down-Payment Housing Assistance
$1.0 million to support the creation of new affordable housing. Continuing the Emergency Housing Repairs Program at $0.26 million o Active code enforcement will continue with a cross-department effort. o Public street improvements. Reconstruct or Design:
Adaptive Signalization on Shaw Avenue
Reconstruct Ashlan Avenue – Winery to Peach Avenues.
Reconstruct Barstow Avenue – Sunnyside to Fowler & Villa to Minnewawa Avenues Reconstruct Peach Avenue – Gettysburg to Ashlan Avenues Reconstruct Sunnyside Avenue – Barstow to Shaw Avenues Construct ADA Improvements as part of various street improvement projects. 143
AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.

o Sidewalk Improvements. Construction of sidewalks near Sierra Vista Elementary School and on Villa Avenue from Gettysburg to Santa Ana.
o Alley Improvements. Reconstruct various alleys in eligible lower-income neighborhoods. o Economic Development Investments.
Revitalization planning for underutilized Shaw Avenue commercial properties. Offer small and micro business incubation services in Southwest Clovis in partnership with the Clovis Culinary Center and regional partners.
Continue marketing the area for retail and job generating uses to serve adjacent the neighborhoods and the City as a whole.
Enhance Public Safety. Public safety is a core service to the City. o Increase of 3 sworn Police personnel bringing the total authorized to 125 officers. o The budget provides for the replacement of 9 additional vehicles in the Police Department and a new bomb squad vehicle.
Provide Fiscal Security. The Emergency Reserve is proposed to be 20.3% (of General Fund Expenditures), or $22.6 million, set aside this year for unforeseen emergencies. This is a slight drop from the previous on a percentage basis. The City’s auditors recommended a target amount of 20%- 25% as a prudent reserve for a city operation the size of Clovis. This fund protects services levels from catastrophic and unexpected losses. Utilization of these funds requires a 4/5th‘s vote of the City Council.
Further Secure Water Supplies and Systems.
o Continue investments with the Fresno Irrigation District for the firm surface water supply. o Improve treatment at the Surface Water Treatment Plan and City water wells to improve the quality of the water and add additional groundwater recharge facilities. o Design of Wastewater diversion improvements to increase capacity of the Sewer System. o Update Sewer and Recycled Water Master Plans.
Invest in Employees. The budget includes a budgeted cost of living increase and funds for employee benefits. Funds for training and educational opportunities have been included and encouraged to be used to allow employees to reach their full potential at the City. Invest in Planning our Future. The budget includes funding for the update to the General Plan. Invest in the City’s Economic Future. Staff will be actively working on attracting commercial and industrial businesses to Clovis to add jobs and revenues to the City. Staff will continue to make strategic marketing efforts aimed at top revenue producing businesses to support the financial needs of the City. Relationships are being developed with critical development partners in the community and assisting projects through the development process. Staff will also be working with regional partners to develop entrepreneurial and small business growth resources. Staff will continue a focused marketing effort on reinforcing Clovis as a medical hub for services, education, and research leverage with the expansion of Clovis Regional Medical Center and the expansion of California Health Sciences University.
Expand the Trail System and Parks. City funds are budgeted to design and construct the Dry Creek/Enterprise Trail Connection and a new park in the Loma Vista area that will also allow for groundwater recharge.
The 2024-2025 Annual Budget will be available for review at the City Clerk’s Office - 1033 Fifth Street, at the Clovis Branch Library - 1155 Fifth Street, and at the City’s website at www.cityofclovis.com as of May 13, 2024. Individual copies are available for purchase from the Finance Department. The public hearing to consider the Annual Budget will be at the regular City Council meeting of June 17, 2024, with adoption scheduled at the conclusion of the hearing.

Fiscal Overview
The City’s unemployment rate peaked in May of 2020 at 13%, dropped to as low as 2.5% in March of 2022, and in March of 2023 is at 3.8% and has held steady this past year, which is very close to the unemployment rate prepandemic. The City is beginning to see a decline of historically high sales tax revenue from last year as residents struggle with the impacts of high inflation and rapidly increasing interest rates. The City has also enjoyed higher than average retail sales when compared to other cities and the state, and significantly better occupancy at hotels experienced elsewhere. This has rapidly increased the City revenues, but the rate of increase is proving to be unsustainable and has begun to drop off while expenses have continued to grow. The recovery was coupled with historic inflation rates, nearing 10% in and coming down to 4% in April of 2024. This inflationary pressure pushed the Federal Reserve to make rapid increases in interest rates to moderate demand. The national economy is forecasted to slow but a recession is not being forecasted in the next year, but some signs of slowing are evident.
As was evident during the 2020 recession, the City’s efforts over many years to build a strong and diverse economy that attracts high quality businesses, employees, and residents to our community will be key in walking through more uncertainty.
In addition, the City as a whole is faced with a rapidly changing environment. The method of product delivery is transitioning to non-taxable digital services and delivery services rather than brick and mortar locations. Many employees are continuing to telecommute, changing daily traffic patterns, and finding labor is a continued challenge.
This has resulted in changes in real estate demand. In this, there are opportunities for the City to address the changes in the upcoming General Plan Update and projects such as the Shaw Avenue revitalization strategy being developed. The City has also supported and leveraged the large and continued increases in entrepreneurial startups.
As we gain deeper knowledge of the economic shifts that rapidly occurred during the pandemic, it has confirmed that the City is on solid ground economically with new businesses, ideas, and way of doing business coming forth to keep Clovis strong for the long run despite short term challenges in the labor market, inflationary pressures, and monetary policy. The fundamentals of a well-educated community, excellent infrastructure, good land use policies, and a heritage of hard work will provide for an economic engine that gives hope for the future. Continuing a spirit of partnership with Clovis businesses is going to be critical in reaching mutual goals of a vibrant community that allows for success of all residents.

Budget Overview
The 2024-2025 Annual Budget for all funds totals $358.5 million, including $305.1 million in operating expenses and $53.4 million in capital improvement expenditures. The budget is balanced using current revenues, anticipated rate increases, and available reserves. This budget represents a 4% decrease compared to estimated expenditures for 2023-2024, due primarily to several large capital projects being completed in the current year and not reflected in the proposed budget. A summary of expenditures by function is provided below:
General Fund
The proposed General Fund Budget is balanced using some past year revenues. Without changes in revenue streams and/or expenditures in future years the City will not be able to maintain the current solid fiscal position and the level of service our residents expect. Expenditures are projected at $111.3 million and represent an increase of 5% compared to the estimated expenditures for 2023-2024. Revenues are projected at $110.4 million, which is an increase of 4% when compared to the estimated revenues for 2023-2024.
The summary of General Fund expenditures by function is provided below:
The 2024-2025 Annual Budget projects sales tax revenues to be $30.9 million, which represents a 3% decrease from the 2023-2024 Annual Budget. The City’s sales tax experienced dramatic growth in fiscal years 2021 and 2022 in particular, due to the shift to online purchases which was exacerbated by the pandemic. California’s AB 147, the Marketplace Facilitator’s Act, also provided vigorous gains in the county pools due to online purchases, of which the City receives a share. The City is no longer experiencing this kind of significant growth, but instead experienced a 3% decline in fiscal year 2023. The City anticipates sales tax to decline again in 2024-2025 from what was budgeted in the 2023-2024 Annual Budget. The City anticipates modest growth will be experienced in budgeted years to follow. One reason for the decline in sales tax is the inflationary pressures on households shifting dollars away from discretionary spending as larger portions of income go to essentials such as food, transportation, and housing costs. Sales tax comprises 37% of the projected discretionary revenue for fiscal year 2024-2025.
Property tax revenues are expected to continue to rise, although new housing development is not anticipated to continue at historical levels. Commercial property tax revenues will be closely monitored as they may be impacted by the accelerated shift to online shopping and remote office work. Property taxes, including in-lieu vehicle license fees, are projected to be $41.4 million in fiscal year 2024-2025, which represents a 11% increase from the previous fiscal year. These property taxes comprise 45% of the projected discretionary revenue for fiscal year 2024-2025.
A key to ensuring Clovis’ long-term fiscal health is to accumulate sufficient funds to maintain an Emergency Reserve that is adequate to protect the City against an unexpected catastrophic event and for the continuance of essential City services during a rapid economic downturn. The City’s auditors recommend a target amount of 20%-25% as a prudent reserve for a city operation the size of Clovis. The 2024-2025 Annual Budget does not include a transfer to the Emergency Reserve due to budget constraints. The balance of $22.6 million will remain and is 20.3% of expenditures. The Budget also includes an unassigned fund balance of $1.0 million to be carried forward as a contingency for economic uncertainty and in case of unexpected expenditures or revenue shortfalls.

The General Fund is the only fund with discretionary revenues to fund all or portions of operations, such as Police and Fire protection, streets and parks maintenance, recreation, and senior services. The distinction between “discretionary” and “non-discretionary” revenues is key to understanding the financing of local government core services. It is also the key to understanding how decisions about funding of local government and use of revenues made at the state or local level can affect the City’s core services. Only 24% of the City’s total current year revenues are available for discretionary spending. The remaining revenues are designated for specific purposes. A more detailed description of the use of discretionary revenues is provided in the Introduction Section of this budget.
Other Funds
Although a major focus of the budget discussion is the General Fund because it represents the essential core services delivered to citizens and is supported by general tax revenues, other funds are no less important. These other funds include the community investment funds, enterprise funds, and internal service funds. All these funds are balanced for 2024-2025, utilizing current revenue and reserves when appropriate.
In the Public Utilities Department, Sewer will have a 3% rate increase in this year’s budget and will refund the full $7.30 bond surcharge. The Water Fund will implement the authorized 3% increase and has two rate schedules:
one for normal conditions and one for drought conditions. This year’s budget anticipates normal conditions.
Community Sanitation will have a 4% increase for recycling and greenwaste services, a 4% increase for refuse service and a 4% increase for Street sweeping charges. The Transit Enterprise Fund and Planning and Development Services Fund (PDS) are fully funded this year. These funds are included in the Summary of Fund Balances and other tables in the Summary of Revenue and Expenditures section of this budget.
The Internal Service Funds are included in this budget and act as cost accumulation and allocation centers. All these funds are fully funded with adequate balances to manage emergencies in the respective operational areas, should the need arise. In addition, the Community Investment Program (CIP) is included in this budget with details included in the CIP section.
The 2024-2025 Annual Budget represents the City being in a strong fiscal position poised to make investments to continue Clovis’ heritage and mission to “To set the standard for excellence in defining, delivering, and protecting local governance.” I wish to thank the Council, the City’s Executive Management Team, and all City Employees for their extraordinary efforts during the past four years as we have continued to provide excellent public service during unprecedented and challenging times. I am confident that we will continue to excel in 2024-2025.

INTRODUCTION
The City of Clovis was incorporated on February 27, 1912, as a general law city of the State of California and as such can exercise the powers allowed by the Constitution and laws of the State of California. The City is governed by the City Council-Manager form of government in which the
City Council determines the mission, land use, and
spending policies of the City and appoints the City
Manager to oversee the day-to-day operation in carrying forward those policies. The City Council consists of five members elected at large for alternating four-year terms.
The City provides the following services: public safety, animal control, transit, senior services, parks, recreation, economic development, planning and zoning, building
inspection and engineering, street maintenance, water
treatment and delivery, refuse collection and disposal, sewage collection and treatment, water reuse, street
cleaning, and general administrative services.
In accordance with state law and the Clovis Municipal
Code, the City prepares and adopts an annual balanced
budget on a basis consistent with generally accepted
accounting principles. Annual appropriated budgets are
adopted for the General Fund, special revenue funds,
capital project funds, and debt service funds. Spending plans are also adopted for the proprietary funds.
FINANCIAL POLICIES
The City Council has established fiscal policies that govern the City’s financial administration and are designed to safeguard the City’s assets, provide for a stable funding base, and ensure that adequate accounting data is compiled. The accounting data allows for the preparation of various accounting reports such as this budget and the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). Following are the financial policies that provide the basis for the financial direction of the City:
The City’s budget policy states that all operating budgets shall be balanced, and ongoing costs will not exceed current revenues plus the available fund balance that exceeds reserve fund requirements. The minimum reserve for any operational fund is 10% of the budgeted expenditures with the goal for reserves of 20-25% of budgeted expenditures unless capital borrowing or extraordinary fiscal conditions require that higher levels of reserves be maintained.
The Enterprise Funds are to be fully supported by user fees and charges, and the Internal Services Funds are to be funded at appropriate levels to ensure reasonable ability to respond to unforeseen events.
Annually, the City has designated a contribution of general funds to the General Government Services Fund (an Internal Service Fund) to address the building space needs for new fire stations, safety training facilities, regional park facilities, business and industrial parks, upgrades and new technology for improved productivity, and major remodeling, repairs, or additions to existing facilities. The City will not issue long-term debt to cover current operations. The City will consider the issuance of long-term debt to purchase/build capital assets when those assets will benefit users over several years and it is determined that it is more equitable to spread the capital investment and financing costs of the assets to current and future users of the assets.
1 151
AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.
Annually, the City will have an independent audit of its financial records prepared by a certified public accountant, pursuant to generally accepted auditing standards, and will submit an annual financial report to the City Council by December 31 for the previous fiscal year. Fees for services provided will be charged directly to users of the services when appropriate and should cover the full cost of service delivery. Fees will be reviewed on an annual basis to ensure that the fee is appropriate for the service provided compared to actual cost or an approved cost index. Development impact fees will be established with the goal that new growth pays the cost of infrastructure improvements and minimizes the burden to existing residents. The City will invest available cash assets in a manner consistent with the safeguards and diversity that a prudent investor would adhere to with primary emphasis on preservation of principal, sufficient liquidity to cover anticipated payment outflows, and high yields consistent with the first two goals. The City’s investments will be consistent with Section 53601 of the Government Code of the State of California that identifies which types of investments are eligible for investment of public funds, and the maximum percentage of an investment portfolio that is allowed for any one investment.
The City is in compliance with all of its financial policies.
KEY BUDGET OBJECTIVES
The City intends to maintain facilities and deliver essential core services at levels that will meet the most urgent needs of the community, while keeping expenditures in line with revenues. This is proving to be a challenge as costs are accelerating faster than revenues and likely requiring adjustments in the next few years in either revenues or reducing expenses. The following are the key objectives of this budget. For more details on how these objectives relate to departmental goals, refer to the Department Summaries included in the Operations Section.
1. Maximize service levels for public safety, crime prevention, hazard prevention, and emergency response in the community by prioritizing the most urgent demands for services and seeking alternative methods to meet lesser priority demands consistent with the need for sustainable spending.
2. Implement and begin update of the General Plan and all service and infrastructure master plans.
3. Given funding limitations, maintain appropriate service levels that will best promote community appearance and the environment and seek to protect the substantial public investment in streetscapes, parks, and trails.
4. Implement an Economic Development Strategy that seeks to facilitate the growth of new or expanding businesses and jobs that improve the overall tax base of the City, improve the diversity of the local economy, and improve the income of residents in the community.
5. Given funding limitations, pursue an aggressive capital investment program to provide a safe, clean, and well-maintained community for the residents, to provide first-rate public facilities to serve the City’s population well into the future, and to induce increased local employment from construction contracts; and to provide preventative maintenance as a priority expenditure to avoid greater costs in the future.
6. Provide targeted neighborhood revitalization investments. This is a long-term effort to improve community appearance, neighborhood stabilization, infrastructure improvements, amenities in older neighborhoods, and economic opportunities. These investments total $9.97 million in the 2024-2025 budget on top of over $40 million in the previous two budgets in funding primarily reinvesting in some of the City’s older neighborhoods.
DISCRETIONARY VERSUS NON-DISCRETIONARY REVENUES
The distinction between these categories of revenue is especially important for the General Fund. It is the key to understanding the financing of general government operations and services. Understanding these categories of revenue makes clear how decisions that are made about funding for local government and use of these revenues can affect these core government services. With constrained sources of revenue, the terms “discretionary” and “non-discretionary” revenues have taken on greater importance.
Discretionary revenues are those for which the City can decide, without restriction, how these funds will be expended and on which programs. Examples of discretionary revenues are property taxes, most sales taxes, 2 152

and business license fees, all of which may be allocated to support any lawful purpose of the City’s choosing.
Discretionary revenues are used to support the General Fund operations and programs. The primary sources of discretionary revenues are property, sales, and certain other taxes which account for more than 98% of total discretionary funding.
Non-discretionary revenues have restrictions, and the City must spend these revenues on the programs for which they are intended. Examples of non-discretionary revenues include gas taxes that must be used for street maintenance; and development fees that must be used for land use entitlement processes and inspections or investment in public improvements associated with new development.
The chart on the following page titled “Summary of Discretionary and Non-Discretionary Revenues 2024-2025” illustrates that only 24% of total annual revenues are discretionary with the remaining 76% nondiscretionary. The City’s discretionary revenues this year total $85.5 million, of which $85.2 million are being appropriated in the General Fund and $0.35 million are being transferred to the Planning and Development Services Fund to pay for the public benefit supported by that operation. The remaining $273.0 million of revenues are non-discretionary. Of the discretionary revenues, the chart titled “Use of Discretionary Revenues 2024-2025” shows that the City will use 87%, or $74.3 million, of the total $85.5 million of discretionary funds for public safety.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
The City’s unemployment rate peaked in May of 2020 at 13%, dropped to as low as 2.5% in March of 2022, in March of 2023 it was 3.8%. It has held steady this past year, which is very close to the unemployment rate pre-pandemic. The City is beginning to see a decline in historically high sales tax revenue from last year as residents struggle with the impacts of high inflation and rapidly increasing interest rates. The City has also enjoyed higher than average retail sales when compared to other cities and the state, and significantly better occupancy at hotels than experienced elsewhere. This has rapidly increased the City revenues, but the rate of increase is proving to be unsustainable and has begun to drop off. The recovery was coupled with historic inflation rates, nearing 10% and coming down to 4% in April of 2024. This inflationary pressure pushed the Federal Reserve to make rapid increases in interest rates to moderate demand. The national economy is forecasted to slow, but a recession is not being forecast in the next year. However, some signs of slowing are evident. As was evident during the 2020 recession, the City’s efforts over many years to build a strong and diverse economy that attracts high quality businesses, employees, and residents to our community will be key in walking through more uncertainty.
In addition, the City as a whole is faced with a rapidly changing environment. The method of product delivery is transitioning to non-taxable digital services and delivery services rather than brick and mortar locations.
Many employees are continuing to telecommute, changing daily traffic patterns, and finding labor is a continued challenge. This has resulted in changes in real estate demand. In this, there are opportunities for the City to address the changes in the upcoming General Plan Update and projects such as the Shaw Avenue revitalization strategy being developed. The City has also supported and leveraged the large and continued increases in entrepreneurial start-ups.
As we gain deeper knowledge of the economic shifts that rapidly occurred during the pandemic, it has confirmed that the City is on solid ground economically with new businesses, ideas, and way of doing business coming forth to keep Clovis strong for the long run despite short term challenges in the labor market, inflationary pressures, and monetary policy. The fundamentals of a well-educated community, excellent infrastructure, good land use policies, and a heritage of hard work will provide for an economic engine that gives hope for the future. Continuing a spirit of partnership with Clovis businesses is going to be critical in reaching mutual goals of a vibrant community that allows for success of all residents.
Upcoming projects that will have a positive effect on the local economy include:
California Health Sciences University (CHSU) increasing enrollment candidates for becoming medical doctors in the Sierra Gateway Commerce District;
Further attraction of businesses to the Sierra Gateway Commerce District; Businesses locating in the expanded Dry Creek Industrial Park and nearby business developments; Additional expansion of medical facilities at Clovis Community Medical Center and on adjacent properties; Targeted investments of $9.97 million that will improve older Clovis neighborhoods and provide economic opportunities;
Development of approximately 400,000 square feet of industrial buildings on vacant parcels in the Clovis Industrial Business Park;
The development on the Clovis and Dakota Avenue site into approximately 400,000 square feet of industrial will add at least 1,000 jobs to the City;
The beginning of commercial development in the Heritage Grove growth area; Additional commercial development coming to the Herndon Avenue Corridor; Continued investment in the Shaw Avenue Corridor;
Additional retail opening to the Loma Vista Urban Center; Construction of a six-lane expressway on Shaw Avenue from DeWolf to Leonard Avenues; and Proposed car dealerships at Clovis and Herndon Avenues. 6 156

FUND ACCOUNTING
The accounts of the City are organized on a basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenses/expenditures. Government resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based on the purposes for which they are to be spent. The various funds are grouped into three broad categories as follows:
Governmental Fund Types - Governmental funds are used to account for all of the City's general activities, including the collection and disbursement of earmarked monies (special revenue funds), the acquisition of or construction of general fixed assets (capital projects funds), and the servicing of general long-term debt (debt service funds). The General Fund is used to account for all activities of the general government not accounted for in some other fund.
Proprietary Funds - Proprietary funds are used to account for activities similar to those found in the private sector, where the determination of net income is necessary or useful to sound financial administration and the primary intent is to recover the costs of providing the goods or services through user charges. Goods or services from such activities can be provided either to outside parties (enterprise funds) or to other departments or agencies primarily within the government (internal service funds).
Fiduciary Funds - Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held on behalf of outside parties in a trustee capacity. Assessment Districts fall within this category as does the Redevelopment Successor Agency.
BASIS OF BUDGETING
The budgets of the governmental fund types (General Fund, special revenue, capital projects, debt service, and assessment districts) are prepared on a modified accrual basis. This means expenditures are recorded when the liability is incurred, and revenues are recognized if they are received during the fiscal year or shortly thereafter. In addition, the City treats encumbrances as expenditures only for budgetary control purposes.
Encumbrances open at year-end are reported as assignments of fund balances since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. Available expendable resources include beginning fund balance and current year revenues and transfers from other funds.
The spending plans for the proprietary fund types, comprised of internal service funds (employee benefits, fleet, liability and property insurance, and general services) and enterprise funds (water, sewer, community sanitation, planning and development services, and transit), are prepared on a full accrual basis. Expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred, and revenues are recognized when the service is provided.
Exceptions exist in the way the City prepares its spending plans for the enterprise funds and the way they are reported in the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). Depreciation on assets is not shown in the spending plan, but expenditures for capital are shown at the full purchase price. The ACFR shows depreciation but not the capital expenditure, which is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Available expendable resources for proprietary funds include beginning working capital, current revenues, and transfers in. Beginning working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities; in other words, working capital represents cash available to pay expenses.
FIVE-YEAR COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM
Based on the City’s Master Development Plans, the program consists of broad evaluation and establishment of priorities for capital projects essential for future development, as well as the replacement of existing City facilities as needed to ensure the continued delivery of services to the public. An important part of the process of developing the community investment program for capital improvements is determination of the logical order of construction of projects included in the master plans so that underground work is well coordinated to be accomplished in advance of above groundwork. Public service programs and the master plans are the principal bases for determining general priorities. Other factors, however, may influence the final decision as to when a particular project is to be undertaken, such as public demand, major commercial or industrial users, the need to coordinate with other jurisdictions, or even special funding. The five-year community investment program is not designed to do all things that need to be done, but rather to develop a reasonable program of public needs and a dependable order of urgency for each project in relation to other projects. The preparation of the capital budget provides greater assurance that the projects will be undertaken in order of need, that overlapping projects will be avoided, that costly mistakes can be avoided, and that all projects can be 7 157

coordinated with each other. Below are a few highlights of projects included in the Five-Year Community Investment Program:
Design of Sewer Diversion Projects to extend life of Herndon Sewer Service Area Design and Construction of Recharge Basin Park at Barstow and Agua Dulce Construction of Roundabout at Owens Mountain Parkway and DeWolf Avenue Design and Construction of the Dry Creek and Enterprise Tails Connection Design of Various Street Rehabilitation Projects
Design of the DeWolf Avenue sewer trunk line
Signal Coordination on Shaw and Herndon Avenues
Rehabilitation or Widening of Various Streets, including:
o Armstrong Avenue – Shaw to Barstow Avenue
o Ashlan Avenue – Winery to Peach Avenues
o Barstow Avenue – Sunnyside to Fowler & Villa to Minnewawa Avenues o Herndon Avenue – Fowler to Armstrong Avenues
o Minnewawa Avenue – Alluvial to Herndon Avenues
o Peach Avenue – Gettysburg to Ashlan Avenues
o Shaw Avenue – DeWolf to Leonard Avenues
o Sunnyside Avenue – Barstow to Shaw Avenues
BUDGET PROCESS
The proposed budget is required by City Ordinance to be submitted to the City Council by the third meeting in May for the upcoming fiscal year (which begins July 1 and ends June 30). The Council holds public hearings following the submittal of the budget, and may add to, subtract from, or change appropriations within revenues and reserves estimated as available. The Council is required to adopt a balanced budget by June 30. If a balanced budget is not adopted by June 30, to ensure continuity of government services, the City Manager’s proposed budget becomes effective (excluding capital expenditures).
As part of the budget process, City staff prepares a five-year forecast that analyzes the City's long-term fiscal condition. It identifies trends and issues that must be addressed early to ensure the City's continued financial success in meeting the service needs of the City's residents. These planning sessions are intended to identify Council goals and priorities for the upcoming year. The departments then provide budgetary requests necessary to provide the services required to meet the Council goals. Once the City Manager confirms that the budget is structurally balanced with current resources sufficient to cover current expenditures, the Finance Department accumulates the data into a budget book representing the proposed budget that is submitted to Council.
Following adoption of the budget, it is sometimes necessary to amend the budget. The City Manager may transfer any appropriation within a specific fund not to exceed $5,000 for appropriations and $2,500 for reserves. Transfers exceeding these amounts require Council action. Also, the Personnel section from time to time may require an amendment should additional staffing be necessary or should the complement of staff require adjustment. These changes also require Council action.

BUDGET CONTROL
Budgetary control is maintained at the department level by fund for both expenditures and personnel. The City utilizes encumbrance accounting in governmental funds under which purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for expenditures are recorded to reserve the budgeted line item. Monthly reports to staff and quarterly reports to Council are utilized to affect budgetary control and reporting.
APPROPRIATIONS LIMITATION
In November of 1979, California voters approved a constitutional amendment that established an Appropriations Limitation for the state and local governments. In June of 1990, the electorate approved Proposition 111 that amended the provisions of the constitution to provide for the adjustment of the Limitation.
The formula now used to calculate the Appropriations Limit is the percentage change in California Per Capita Income (PCI) or the percentage change in valuations of non-residential construction (NRC) plus the percentage change in the City's population or the County's, whichever is greater. The State Department of Finance has provided the City with the population estimates and the Per Capita Income. The City’s population increased approximately 1.42% from 2023. The percentage change in the California PCI was approximately 3.62%. The change in non-residential construction was 1.64%. Therefore, the change in PCI is used.
Appropriations Limitation 2023-2024 $404,728,778
Add: Change in Population (1.42%) 5,747,149
$410,475,927
Add: Change in PCI (3.62%) 14,859,229
Appropriations Limitation 2024-2025 $425,335,156
Less: Proposed Expenditures Subject to Limitation in 2024-2025 95,318,639 Amount of Unused Authorized Appropriations $330,016,517 Over the past five years, the City of Clovis’ expenditures have been less than the appropriation (approximately 25% of the limit); therefore, it is not likely that the City of Clovis will reach the Appropriations Limit in the future.
It is recommended that the Council's adoption of the Budget include the establishment of the City's Appropriations Limitation for the 2024-2025 fiscal year at $425,335,156. ____________________________________

FUND HIGHLIGHTS
General Fund - General Fund expenditures are being funded through current year revenues and use of fund balance. Projected revenues are $110.4 million which is $4.3 million or 4% more than the revised revenues for 2023-2024. Revenues for 2024-2025 are increasing mainly due to property taxes, sales taxes, transient occupancy taxes, and business license taxes. Proposed expenditures are $111.3 million and represent $5 million or 5% more when compared to 2023-2024 estimated expenditures. The increase in 2024-2025 projected expenditures is largely due to increased costs for employee benefit programs including retirement and health insurance along with general price increases on the cost of services and supplies. Three new positions are recommended for the General Fund for 2024-2025. All three positions are in the Police Department.
Additionally, one position will be converted in the Fire Department. The General Fund has $22.6 million, or
20.3% of expenditures, designated as an emergency reserve. The General Fund also reflects a $1.0 million unreserved, unassigned balance available to offset the impact of any revenue shortfall or cover any unexpected expenditures that do not meet the emergency designation.
Special Revenue Funds - The Housing and Community Development Fund projects a fund balance of $1.0 million for 2024-2025 with current program costs funded using capital funds for projects and revenues sufficient to cover current operational program costs. The Landscape Assessment District Fund shows a projected fund balance of $9.7 million for 2024-2025. This amount is being accumulated for required reserve and future equipment replacement. The Community Facilities District 2020-1 shows a projected fund balance of $261,600.
Internal Service Funds - All of the City’s Internal Service Funds have adequate revenues or reserves to cover current operating requirements. All Internal Services Funds derive revenue primarily from charges to user departments. No new positions for the General Services Department are recommended for 2024-2025. The General Government Facilities Fund includes a limited number of minor projects with the reserves committed to future debt service obligations.
Enterprise Funds - All of the City’s Enterprise Funds show sufficient revenue and working capital to meet current operating requirements. With the increase in development over the last few years, the City has rebated utility customers the Sewer bond coverage charge of $7.30 per month. The City will continue to rebate the $7.30 per month Sewer bond coverage charge in 2024-2025. Sewer operations have an authorized 3% escalator, which is included in the proposed budget. The Community Sanitation Enterprise has an approved 4% increase effective every July 1 as needed. The need for this increase has been reviewed and will be implemented effective July 1, 2024, for the Recycling and Greenwaste programs, the Refuse program and the Street Sweeping program. The Water Enterprise Fund reflects the approved 3% rate increase effective July 1, 2024, with rate increases approved in future years if necessary. The Water/Sewer/Community Sanitation operations will add four new positions in 2024-2025 and the Parks department will add one new position to accommodate continued growth of the City. The Transit Enterprise will continue utilizing the annual money received from State Transit Assistance (STA) to improve transit services and for capital improvements. The Transit Enterprise has four new recommended positions in 2024-2025. To accommodate staffing changes and market demands, the Planning & Development Enterprise has one new position, one position elimination, and five positions only budgeted for half a year for 2024-2025.
Capital Improvements - Several major projects are included in the 2024-2025 budget and are listed in the Community Investment Program Section. The City has also identified several major projects in the Five-Year Community Investment Program Section for years beyond 2024-2025 that do not currently have funding sources identified.
More details regarding the recommended positions included in the 2024-2025 budget in the General Fund, Internal Service Funds, and Enterprise Funds are included in the Personnel Section. 24 176

SUMMARY REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES
The following summary schedule provides an excellent overview of the City's 2024-2025 revenues and expenditures. The schedule on the following page combines all the City's funds into one summary schedule while the “2024-2025 Budget Summary-By Fund” provides a summary of revenues and expenditures for each fund.
Care needs to be taken when attempting to draw conclusions from summary schedules, especially when comparing one budget year to prior years. Because of the up-and-down nature of capital project expenditures, the City's total budget can experience wide swings from year to year. An example of this may be a large street or sewer project that is budgeted in one budget year and may not exist in the next. This type of project may increase the budget by several million dollars in any one year.
The reader should also be aware that the majority of the City's revenue and expenditures are restricted to specific purposes and cannot be transferred from one fund to another. As was indicated in the City Manager's letter and further discussed in the Introduction Section, the General Fund is the only fund with discretionary revenues to pay for City services, such as police and fire. The other funds are restricted in their use, such as the Water Enterprise Fund, which can only be used to pay expenses related to water delivery.
Following the summary schedules is a detailed description of major revenue sources. We are providing historical trends, budgeting assumptions, and other information as appropriate.
The "2024-2025 Budget Summary-All Funds" includes all funding sources and expenditures for all Governmental and Proprietary Funds. A review of the revenue shows that “Charges for Current Services” is the largest revenue source followed by "Charges to Other Departments”. Included in "Charges for Current Services" are the charges for the City's Enterprise Funds (water, sewer, refuse, etc.). This revenue source makes up 33% of the total funding sources. The source "Charges to Other Departments" reflects interfund charges, or revenue derived, by the City's Internal Service Funds such as General Services, Employee Benefits, Fleet Services, and Liability and Property Insurance to other operating funds for services received from the Internal Service Funds. This funding source reflects 24% of the total. (Please read the note at the bottom of the “2024-2025 Budget Summary-All Funds” about the effect Internal Service Fund charges have on the City's revenues and expenditures.) Property Taxes, show an increase due primarily to expected countywide growth, improving property values from prior years, and the statutory Prop 13 increase of 2% or California CPI, whichever is less. The California CPI for 2024-2025 is 2%.
Property taxes account for 12% of the City’s revenue. The revenue source “Sales & Use Tax” which accounts for 9% of total revenue, is projected to decline due to inflationary pressures on consumer spending. The City anticipates modest growth will be experienced in budgeted years to follow.
Overall the City budget is lower when compared to the prior year. Capital outlays/improvements account for 15% of the total budgeted expenditures in 2024-2025 and are decreasing when compared to the 2023-2024 estimated budget amounts. The combined totals for all salaries and benefits, which account for 33% of the total expenditures, are showing a slight decrease from the previous year due to the net addition of only three positions compared to a larger increase in other expenditures. Reflected in the category “Administrative and Overhead,” which makes up 8% of the total, is the expenditure side of the interfund charges by the City’s Internal Service Funds. This expenditure reflects costs such as computer services, communications, energy, and office supplies. The expenditure category “Employee Related ISF Charges” which accounts for 11% of total expenditures is another interfund related expenditure account and reflects the internal transfer of a portion of employee benefits.
Again, the reader is requested to view each of these revenue and expenditure categories on a per fund and departmental basis along with looking at a "Total Summarized Picture." Each of the department presentations included in the Operational Section will provide further information about the programs and proposed expenditures for each department.

Included in the schedule below are items that are not considered revenue/expenses for financial reporting purposes. These items are:
Long-term Debt (COPs and loans; included in "Other Financing Sources") -- Reported as liabilities for financial reporting Principal payments on long-term debt (included in "Debt Service") -- Reported as a reduction to liabilities for financial reporting Capital additions (included in "Capital Outlays") -- Reported as fixed assets for financial reporting The numbers presented above include revenue and expenses for the City's Internal Service Funds. These funds act as cost allocation departments in that they accumulate the cost of goods and services and distribute these costs to the various other user departments. The user departments in turn record an expense/expenditure, and the Internal Service Fund records revenue. Therefore, a doubling effect occurs for those revenues and expenses/expenditures.
The Clovis Successor Agencies are Private Purpose Trust Funds and as such are reported separately and not included in Citywide totals. * Net transfers are the result of the transfer to the Refuse Disposal Fund from the Community Sanitation Fund, an unbudgeted fund. 28 180
