ATTACHMENTS: 1. Ordinance 22-03

2. Policy 706 of the Clovis Police Department Policy Manual

3. Annual Military Equipment Use Report

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council renew the ordinance adopting our Military Equipment Use Policy in accordance with AB 481.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Military Equipment Use Policy, Policy 706 of the Clovis PD Policy Manual, and the Annual Military Equipment Use Report. The Policy and ordinance must be renewed to allow the Department to continue using ex isting military equipment in the Department’s inventory and acquire new equipment for operational needs. The proposed Policy 706, Ordinance, and Annual Military Equipment Report comply with the requirements of AB 481.

AB 481 requires law enforcement agen cies to obtain approval from the applicable governing body of an ordinance adopting a military equipment use policy prior to obtaining, acquiring, and using military equipment. “Military equipment” is defined to include, without limitation, the following e quipment: unmanned aerial or ground vehicles, armored vehicles, command and control vehicles, pepper balls, less lethal shotguns, less lethal 40mm projectile launchers, long- range acoustic devices, flashbangs, and foundational equipment, such as rifles. This equipment is used as a component of overall best practices for law enforcement agencies throughout the country. Losing the ability to use this equipment would jeopardize the welfare of citizens and peace officers within the City.

26 AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.

There is a significant interest in ensuring that the Department continues to have access to equipment that provides the Department with as many resources as possible to safeguard lives, ensure safety, and protect civil liberties. The use of military equipment is cruc ial to the Department’s mission and will continue to be strictly regulated through internal processes and oversight, transparency, and City Council and public review.

BACKGROUND
On January 1, 2022, Governor Newsom signed into law AB 481, codified in Gover nment Code sections 7070 through 7075. This new law requires law enforcement agencies to obtain approval from the applicable governing body of a military equipment use policy (adopted by ordinance) before obtaining funding, acquiring, or using military equipment.

The Department seeks the City Council’s approval of Policy 706 (Attachment 2) by renewing Ordinance 22-03 (Attachment 1) so that the Department may continue using the equipment as specified in the Policy. Policy 706 safeguards the public’s welfa re, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties by ensuring that adequate safeguards, including transparency, oversight, and accountability, are in place for the use of such equipment.

Policy 706 includes an inventory of each piece of equipment identified in Government Code section 7070 that is currently owned by the City, and the current use and cost of each piece of equipment. The equipment has been appropriately used in accordance with applicable legal requirements before the enactment of AB 481. The Department has not identified a reasonable alternative to the equipment listed in Policy 706 that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety. Policy 706 also allows for other law enforcement agencies to use military equipment when assistin g in Clovis as long as the assisting agency has a similar military equipment use policy adopted by its governing body.

As required by AB 481, the proposed Policy 706 has been posted on the Department’s website.

If Policy 706 is re -approved, it will remai n posted and publicly available on the Department’s website.

Once Policy 706 is approved, AB 481 requires the Department to annually submit a military equipment report for each approved type of military equipment to the City Council for as long as the military equipment is available for use. Additionally, the Department must make each annual report publicly available on its website for as long as the equipment is available for use. The annual report must be presented to and reviewed by the City Council at a regular meeting each year, and the City Council must determine at the annual meeting whether each type of military equipment identified in the report continues to comply with the standard of approval, and determine whether to renew the ordinance approving Policy 706.

Future acquisition of any equipment deemed to be “military equipment” will comply with applicable funding and procurement requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

27 AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
Department Policy 706, the Annual Military Equipment Use Report, and the adopting ordinance meet the requirements of Assembly Bill 481, and approval will allow the Department to continue using its existing military equipment to safeguard the public and officers.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
The Department will continue to use its existing military equipment in accordance with Policy 706 after approval of the Military Equipment Use Report and renewal of Ordinance 22-03.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST

HISTORY OF AB-481
On September 30, 2021, the Governor of the State of California approved AB-481 requiring law enforcement agencies to obtain approval of the applicable governing body (Mayor and City Council), by adoption of a military equipment use policy. The Department is required to seek City Council approval of their military equipment use procedure by ordinance at a regular open meeting prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, as defined. The bill allows the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards. The ordinance is subject to annual City Council review to determine whether, based on an annual military equipment report, the standards set forth in the approving ordinance have been met. The City Council may renew the authorizing ordinance, disapprove authorization for particular military equipment where standards have not been met, or require modifications to the military equipment use procedure to address any non-compliance with standards.

Finally, the bill requires publication of the military equipment use procedure and the annual military equipment report on the Department’s website. The military equipment use procedure must be posted on the website at least 30 days prior to the Council meeting.

INTRODUCTION
The Clovis Police Department retains and employs a wide variety of military equipment to assist in safely achieving the furtherance of its mission statement:
"To provide superior protection and service in a manner that builds publicconfidence and improves the quality of life in our community.” While the inventory of military equipment is varied, the mere possession of the equipmentdoes not warrant its use for every incident.

The Clovis Police Department recognizes that critical incidents are unpredictable and canbe very dynamic in nature. A variety of military equipment options can greatly assistsupervisors, officers, and specific units in bringing those incidents to a swift resolution in asafe manner.

The use of military equipment is restricted for use only in certain instances and in somecases only by certain units. While the military equipment procedure is wide-ranging, it isnot all-inclusive. There may be instances wherein unpredictable critical incidents demandthe need for incident commanders to authorize military equipment to be used in a mannernot outlined within Department procedure. In scrutinizing those particular instances, thejudgment of the supervisor influenced by the totality of the circumstances, public safety,officer safety, civil rights, and information available at the time will be used.

It is incumbent upon supervisors, individual officers, and specific units to recognize theparticular circumstances wherein military equipment should be employed to enhance thesafety of the public and officers, and to bring a critical incident to a safe resolution.

This Annual Military Equipment Report outlines a summary of militaryequipment usage guidelines, inventory, fiscal impact, and complaints (ofwhich there were none) for 2024.

$187,000, and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute any necessary fo rms or agreements.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provided an allocation of Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) funding through the Community Development Block Grant – Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) funds to the City of Clovis in 2022, in the amount of $201,848. Funds were used for the Emergency Utility Payments Program and Program Administration. To date, only approximately $55,037 in CDBG-CV funds has been expended. Staff recommends re -allocating the remaining approximately $146,810 in funds to the Big Dry Creek Canal Improvements Project at Letterman Park , which will meet the requirements of the CDBG-CV program to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus by increasing the capacity for social distancing, while ensuring the funds are spent within the expenditure deadline. The total project cost is $187,000. The balance of funds needed is available from yearly CDBG entitlement funds from prior year projects that experienced cost savings and one project that was cancelled.

BACKGROUND
The CARES Act funding was enacted nationally on March 27, 2020 by Public Law 116 -136, to respond to the growing effects of the public health crisis caused by the coronavirus. In 2022, HUD provided additional allocations of unspent national funds to those jurisdictions that had proven the ability to utilize CDBG-CV funds expeditiously.

On July 5, 2022, after being awarded an additional allocation of $201,848, the Clovis City Council approved the use of CDBG-CV funds for the Emergency Utility Payments Program. The Program provided funding on behalf of City of Clovis Utilities Customers to help them become current on water/sewer/refuse/street sweeping utilities accounts. A total of 32 individual customers were assisted, with $55,037 in CDBG-CV funds. Unfortunately, CDBG-CV Utilities assistance can only be provided if the customer was affected by the Coronavirus, and they couldn’t pay their utility bills because of the illness. Due to this requirement and the slowing effect of the coronavirus in Clovis, the City was only able to assist one household during the last 16 months. Applications are not being submitted for this program even though it is provided as a reso urce to lower - income customers who may be behind on their payments.

Therefore, to ensure the prompt use of CDBG-CV funds, and to avoid returning federal funds to HUD, staff has identified other eligible uses of the program funds. The proposed project, CIP 25- 05 Big Dry Creek Canal Improvements Project at Letterman Park , will install and improve trail features and provide pedestrian-friendly improvements along the Dry Creek Canal (see Attachment 3 Project Location/Site Plan) . The proposed improvements in clude canal bank improvements, gateway elements, monuments, and signage that would identify this canal bank as a community trail and additional resource for recreation. This project will meet the Coronavirus tie-back requirement of the Program by adding space in the trail expansion area that will assist the City in preparing for and mitigating potential future impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic by preventing close contact of persons. The project will also assist low -income residents as it is located in a low-moderate income census tract.
89 AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.

The total project cost is $187,000. Both CDBG -CV and CDBG Entitlement Program Funds will be utilized to complete this project as follows:

 Utilities Payment Assistance Program (reduction): $130,876  CDBG-CV Administration (reduction): $15,934
 Additional CDBG Program funds to be utilized from 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 Entitlement Amounts for the Big Dry Creek Canal Improvements Project at Letterman Park: $40,190*  Total Project Cost: Big Dry Creek Canal Improvements Project at Letterman Park: $187,000

Several actions were taken to encourage public participation in this Substantial Amendment Process. A public notice was published in local print media on April 16, 2025, and on City social media, and on the City’s website, in English, Spanish and Hmong on April 1, 2025. The same notice was made available at local public places such as the Clovis Branch Library, Senior Center, and the Transit Center. The Substantial Amendment process provides for a 30 -day public review and comment process. No public comments or questions have been submitted as of the drafting of this report. The City’s CDBG Advisory Committee also reviewed the Substantial Amendment for approval recommendation t o the City Council at their April 23, 2025, meeting.

The Committee recommended approval.

As part of the recommended action, staff is requesting approval of a Budget Amendment to allow for the expenditure of the additional funds in the CIP Budget, in the amount of $187,000 for Big Dry Creek Canal Improvements Project at Letterman Park Project CIP 25-05.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund . The recommended funding is available in the CDBG Program. CDBG-CV funds are available in the amount of $146,810. CDBG entitlement funds are available from cost savings from previously completed project s in the amount of $16,615, and in the amount of $23,574 from a cancelled project.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The recommended action will allocate funding to an eligible activity and ensure the federal funds are expended locally and expeditiously on a much needed project.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Staff will submit the Substantial Amendment to HUD for review and approval, and subsequently commence the CIP project.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
None.

2. 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan

RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to adopt the City of Clovis 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan for the expenditure of Community Development Block Grant Funds.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires the City adopt an Annual Action Plan to identify projects, programs and/or activities proposed to be funded by the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program in the 2025 -2026 fiscal year. Adoption of the Annual Action Plan will allow City staff to submit the Plan to HUD to receive 2025 -2026 CDBG Program funds.

BACKGROUND
As an entitlement city for the purpose of receiving Community Development Block Grant funds from HUD, Clovis must adopt an Annual Action Plan to identify CDBG funded activities for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The Annual Action Plan represents the yearly implementation of the goals established in the 5 -year Consolidated Plan, which was approved by City Council in 2021.

Development of the Consolidated Plan required an extensive analysis of housing and community development needs for disadvantaged populations to be completed through community input and census data analysis. Staff conducted over 50 interviews with agencies and Clovis residents to identify gaps in services for disadvantaged populations. Additionally, staff employed a consultant to analyze demographic data to determine the needs in the community.

96 AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.

The analysis and input resulted in the following summary of needs by priority, as included in the Consolidated Plan:

High Priority Medium Priority
Job Creation/Retention Substance Abuse Services
ADA Sidewalk Improvements Micro Loans to Small Businesses Street/Alley Improvements More Educational Opportunities Homeless Services/Shelters Support Groups for Families of Fire Stations/Equipment Disabled
Code Enforcement Legal Services
Affordable Housing for Families/Seniors/Veterans Road Reconstruction Housing Rehabilitation Tenant/Landlord Fair Housing
Jobs for Youth Parks/Recreational Facilities
Food Pantry Programs Substance Abuse Services
Programs for Foster Children Aging Out of System
Youth Counseling/Resource Center Low Priority
First-Time Homebuyer Programs Façade Improvements
Youth Centers Utility Improvements (Water/Sewer)
Community Centers

Aside from meeting a Priority Need from the list above, all potential CDBG funded activities must fall into one of the following eligibility categories:

1. Directly benefit low- and moderate-income persons.

2. Aid in the prevention and elimination of slums or blight.

3. Meet an urgent need.

The following projects and activities were approved to be funded in the five-year Consolidated Plan period (at estimated amounts) , b ased on the identified Priority Needs, and the CDBG program regulations:

5-YEAR GOALS AND PROPOSED FUNDING ALLOCATIONS

CONSOLIDATED PLAN GOALS
1 Goal Name Public Facility Improvements
Description The City of Clovis intends to utilize approximately $1,500,000 in CDBG funds for the purpose of acquisition, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or installation of water system improvements, sewer systems improvements, street and drainage improvements, neighborhood facilities, solid waste facilities, and/or parks and recreation facilities. In addition, a portion of those funds will be used for the removal of architectural barriers including curb cuts, park improvements, and improvements to public buildings to meet ADA requirements. 97 AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.
2 Goal Name Preservation of Affordable Housing Units
Description The City of Clovis intends to utilize approximately $683,421.25 in CDBG funds for the purpose of providing rehabilitation services to LMI owner-occupied units. 3 Goal Name Job creation for low-income individuals
Description The City of Clovis intends to utilize approximately $250,000 in CDBG funds for the purpose of economic development. The funds will be used to promote commercial revitalization, business expansion, and/or job creation. 4 Goal Name Create a suitable living environment
Description The City of Clovis has utilized approximately $212,443 in CDBG funds for the purpose of providing code enforcement as a public service to LMI neighborhoods within Clovis.
5 Goal Name CDBG Administration
Description The City will continue to administer the CDBG program in compliance with program regulations and requirements. To ensure the effective use of limited CDBG funds, the City must allocate funding towards planning and monitoring of the related projects.

As of April 15, 2025, HUD has not yet established the nationwide CDBG allocations for the 2025- 2026 fiscal year. In the proposed 202 5-2026 Annual Action Plan, staff estimated a CDBG allocation of approximately $6 80,000, plus carry-over funds for the Owner -Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program of $15,000 and available funds of $163,000 from a cancelled project .

Total funding is estimated at $858,000.

In determining the recommended use of the CDBG allocation, staff followed the process identified in the HUD -approved Citizen Participation Plan and a list of priority projects was created. The selected projects will meet the goals of the Consolidated Plan to improve neighborhoods, create jobs, and enhance the quality of life fo r the citizens of Clovis. The recommended projects for the 202 5-2026 program year will improve infrastructure by making street/alley, trail and ADA improvements, support microenterprise businesses, provide services to seniors and survivors of domestic violence and continue to emphasize improvements to Clovis’ low- and moderate-income housing stock.

Staff recommends the following proposed activities be funded for the 2025-2026 program year, at the identified CDBG funding amount:

 Housing Rehabilitation - $147,000
 Micro-Enterprise Culinary Kitchen - $87,000.00
 Clovis Senior Center Enrichment Activities - $45,000.00 98 AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.
 Marjaree Mason Center Critical Domestic Violence Services - $57,000.00  Ashlan/Helm Alley Improvements - $ 179,000.00
 Big Dry Creek Canal at Letterman Park Improvements - $27,509.00  ADA/Sidewalk Improvements Citywide - $179,000.00
 Administration - $136,000.00

As the HUD CDBG allocations have not been finalized, HUD recommends Cities anticipate and plan for a higher or lower CDBG allocation than what is estimated by City staff. Therefore, staff recommends any increase or decrease in the estimated CDBG funding level will be reflected in 1) the Public Services activities (Senior Center and Marjaree Mason Center), as these funding levels are based on a 15% maximum of the CDBG allocation, 2) on Administration as this funding level is based on a 20% maximum of the CDBG allocation, and 3) on the ADA/Sidewalk Improvements Citywide Project.

Staff has recently also identified additional carry-over funds in the amount of $16,615 from cost savings from previously completed projects. These are included in a separate council action to complete the financing needed for the Big Dry Creek Improvements project.

A list of these proposed activities for CDBG funding, along with the availability of the 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan, was advertised for review and public comment in The Business Journal and the Fresno Bee on April 4, 2025. The notifications and request for public comments were also posted on the City of Clovis website and social media, and at the following locations Clovis City Hall, Clovis Senior Center, Clovis Transit Center, Fresno County Public Library Clovis Branch, Clovis Recreation Center, local laundromats, and Miss Winkles Pet Adoption Center. Physical copies of the Action Plan were made available at the Clovis City Hall, Clovis Senior Center, Clovis Transit Center, Fresno County Public Libr ary Clovis Branch, and Clovis Recreation Center. The City’s CDBG Advisory Committee also reviewed the Action Plan for approval recommendation to the City Council at their April 23, 2025 , meeting. The Committee recommended approval.

FISCAL IMPACT
It is anticipated that a total of $680,000 in CDBG funds will be available for 2025-2026. Staff also anticipates availability of carry-over funds for the Owner -Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program of $15,000, and available funds of $163,000 from a cancelled project. Total funding is estimated at $858,000. Staff has recently also identified additional carry -over funds in the amount of $16,615 from cost savings from previously completed projects. These are included in a separate council action to complete the financing needed for the Big Dry Creek Improvements project. HUD distributes CDBG funds on a reimbursement basis. The funds will be included in the proposed 2025-2026 City of Clovis Budget.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
HUD requires the City Council to adopt an Annual Action Plan each year to allow staff to request CDBG Program funds. The recommended action meets HUD’s requirements to receive CDBG funds as an entitlement City.

99 AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Staff will submit the 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan to HUD by May 15, 2025, as required. Staff will then begin operation of the 2025-2026 CDBG Program starting July 1, 2025.

Annual Action Plan 2025 1

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction
The Action Plan is a document submitted to HUD on an annual basis that serves as a comprehensive housing affordability strategy, community development plan, and submission for funding under the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) entitlement formula grant programs.

As a CDBG entitlement city, the City of Clovis through it’s Economic Development, Housing and Communications Department has developed a five -year strategic plan that identifies and prioritizes the future use of the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. This plan, referred to as the “Consolidated Plan” became effective July 1, 2021, and will terminate on June 30, 2026. This 2025 -2026 Annual Action Plan represents year five of the five-year plan.

In preparing the Consolidated Plan, the City utilized several methods to analyze the housing and community development needs of Clovis. These methods included conducting interviews of community residents, stakeholders, community organizations, and multi-family unit property owners, analyzing U.S. census data, and utilizing information in several city and county planning documents. The City hosted community meetings, hearings and met with organizations as an effort to outreach to and encourage participation of all residents, particularly low - and moderate -income residents, elderly persons, and persons with disabilities. The purpose of the meetings was to inform the community about the Consolidated Plan process and to identify opportunities to improve collaborative efforts, eliminate service delivery gaps in order to develop and sustain decent and affordable housing, suitable living environments, and expand community and economic opportunities.

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.

Clovis estimates that it will receive CDBG funding of $3,750,000 over the Consolidated Planning Period. It is anticipated that 20% of those funds will be used for Administrative costs. The balance of CDBG funds are anticipated to be divided between four prioritized goals, as follows:

Goal 1: Housing - $750,000 (24%) to be used to improve the quality of owner -occupied units, increase multi-family units for low- to moderate-income households, support transitional and permanent housing for homeless persons, and support regional efforts to end chronic homelessness. 103
AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.

Annual Action Plan 2025 2

Goal 2: Economic Development - $250,000 (6%) to be used to support activities that create jobs for low- to moderate-income persons.

Goal 3: Infrastructure - $1,337,500 (35%) to be used to improve the quality, and increase the quantity, of public improvements that benefit low - to moderate-income residents and neighborhoods, improve the quality, and increase the quantity, of facilities that benefit neighborhoods, seniors, and those with special needs, and provide funds to bring public facilities into ADA compliance.

Goal 4: Public Services - $562,500 (15%) to be used to provide crime awareness and additional policing that benefits low - to moderate -income neighborhoods, support senior and youth programs, support programs and activities that benefit those with special needs and domestic viole nce survivors, and to support food pantry programs.

3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects.

Affordable Housing Development – The City received $1,872,677 in Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program funds from the State of California, for the development of affordable housing. In January 2024, the City awarded $1,481,280 to a local affordable housing developer, AHDC Inc., who, in partnership with the Fresno Housing Authority proposes to build a 47 -unit affordable senior housing development.

Additionally, during the 2024 -2025 year, the City awarded $1,000,000 in local Housing Trust funds to AHDC for this project, contingent on a matching award of $1,000,000 from the California Local Housing Trust Fund, which was applied for in September 2024.

Housing Rehabilitation - The City provides CDBG grants of up to $8,000 for health and safety repairs, and accessibility improvements to homes, for low -income owner -occupied households. In the 2021 -2024 fiscal years, 38 homeowners were assisted with repairs. An additional 10 homeowners are anticipated to receive assistance in the 2024-2025 year. The City also administers a state-funded housing rehabilitation loan program (CalHome), which is utilized in combination with the CDBG program to provide needed housing repairs. During the prior year, City staff closed out the 20 -CalHome Grant. City staff processed and reviewed over 30 applications. Of these, 16 received CalHome funding and all projects were completed by the end of the 2024-2025 year. The City also received a 23-CalHome Grant in February 2024.

Staff has reviewed over 19 applications. Of these, 4 are expected to receive assistance by the end of the 2024-2025 fiscal year.

Economic Development/Job Creation - The City invests heavily in economic development activities using local, state and federal resources to attract and retain businesses that provide high wage jobs for its citizens.

AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)

1. Introduction
The City consulted with the public, and both internal City Departments and external agencies to determine the needs of the Clovis community and plan for the allocation of available resources relative to the Consolidated Planning period, and this Action Plan. Internally, Clovis met with several department representatives to provide information about the Consolidated Plan and the Community Development Block Grant. Department staff provided input on how CDBG resources can be utilized and leveraged to provide services such as housing programs, economic development, and infrastructure improvements.

Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l))
The City of Clovis currently does not have publicly-owned housing. However, the City works closely with the Housing Authority to provide referrals for Housing Choice vouchers to Clovis residents. City staff corresponds regularly with Housing Authority adm inistrators and staff to ensure coordination regarding development of affordable housing. In the 2024-2025 program year, the City continued to work with the Housing Authority and a local non-profit housing developer to set aside funding to provide for additional affordable rental units in the City. The City coordinates with other agencies including private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies through our participation in the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC). City staff participates in regular board meetings and holds a membership position on the FMCoC executive board. As a Board Member, City staff helps form policy, and assists in rating applications for funding.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.

The City of Clovis is an active member of the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC), which is the organization that acts as the regional planning body to address homelessness. This collaborative group addresses chronic homelessness, homelessness prevent ion, and discharge coordination policies on the region-wide basis of Fresno and Madera Counties, which includes the City of Clovis. Based upon the consultation process, the City has recognized a need for shelters for other at -risk populations such as youth and veterans and will pursue projects to serve these populations. The City has also provided 2024 - 2025 CDBG funds to the Marjaree Mason Center (MMC) a housing and service provider for domestic violence survivors. The City proposes to continue funding MMC during the 2025-2026 year.

Expected Resources
AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
The City anticipates that, over the Consolidated Plan Period, the CDBG Entitlement allocation will equal $3,750,000. The City received $748,745 in year one, $698,855 in year 2, $652,542 in year 3, and $680,824 in year 4 of the 5-year Period. As of the publication of this draft Action Plan, the federal government has not provided the annual CDBG funding allocation. For the development of this draft Action Plan, the City estimates receiving $680,000 in CDBG Funds. The entitlement amount, together with an additional $15,000 in carryov er, and $163,538 from a cancelled project from the prior year’s CDBG allocation, is expected to total $858,538 in CDBG funds to be allocated for the 2025-2026 program year.

The City of Clovis is committed to leveraging as many funds as possible against the CDBG allocation, including the following:
• State of California CalHome Program funds for housing rehabilitation and homeownership assistance
• Permanent Local Housing Allocation Funds for housing development • HOME program funds through a State allocation for housing development and homeownership assistance
• Remnant Housing Successor Agency funds for housing assistance • Local Funds
An increase or decrease in the estimated CDBG funding level will be applied to the ADA/Sidewalk Improvements Citywide Project, and will be reflected in the funding level allocations for Public Services – Marjaree Mason Center Activities (15% maximum) and A dministration (20% maximum). (see project activities table below).

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied There is no matching requirement for the use of CDBG funds. However, Clovis strives to leverage as many funding sources as possible when planning housing, community and economic development activities. For example, in the previous funding year, and for future funding years, C lovis leverages remnant Housing Successor Agency funds, HOME Program funds, Permanent Local Housing Allocation Funds, State CalHome Program funds, and local funds for the purpose of expanding and preserving Clovis' affordable housing stock.

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan In program year 2024 -2025, the City identified two parcels of City-owned land that will be targeted towards addressing the housing needs identified in this Action Plan. It is anticipated that the properties will be utilized as part of the proposed Housing Trust Fund, to help incentivize the development of affordable housing. The properties are located at 650 Fowler Avenue, and at 354 Osmun Circle. Staff will also continue to search for additional land purchase opportunities.

Discussion
The City of Clovis is committed to leveraging as many funds as possible against the CDBG allocation. In 2021 the City provided $1,000,000 to the Fresno Housing Authority for the construction of 60 units of affordable housing. The funding was provided through the City’s Affordable Housing Development Impact Fee Reduction Program. In 2022, the City provided $300,000 in Development Impact Fee Reduction funds to assist the City’s first permanent supportive housing development, Butterfly Gardens. The 75 -unit project provides housing and supportive services to disabled individuals and at-risk homeless individuals.

The City was awarded State of California CalHome Program funds in 2020, which have been leveraged with CDBG Program funds for housing rehabilitation activities. These funds are focused on owner - occupied housing rehabilitation, including mobile home repair and replacements, which house extremely low, and low-income seniors who are at high risk of homelessness. A total of 16 homes were rehabilitated, using approximately $825,000 in CalHome funds.

The City has also been awarded California CalHome Program funds from the 2023 Program Year. These funds will also be leveraged with CDBG Program Funds to provide for housing rehabilitation activities. It is anticipated that 20 units will be rehabilitated over the 3 year program period. A portion of the 2023 CalHome Program Funds will be allocated towards mortgage assistance for the purchase of mobile homes.

It is anticipated that 8 homes will be purchased over the 3 year program period. During the 2024 -2025 Program year, the City reviewed over 19 applications, and processed 5 applications for funding. Of these, 4 are expected to be completed by the end of the 2024-2025 fiscal year. It is anticipated that the City will continue to partner this loan program with the CDBG owner occupied housing rehabilitation grant program to provide for much needed larger repair projects.

The City received $1,872,677 in Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program funds from the State of California, for the development of affordable housing. In January 2024, the City awarded $1,481,280 to a local affordable housing developer, AHDC Inc. , who, in partnership with the Fresno Housing Authority proposes to build a 47 -unit affordable senior housing development. Additionally, during the 2024 -2025 year, the City awarded $1,000,000 in local Housing Trust funds to AHDC for this project, contingen t on a matching award of $1,000,000 from the California Local Housing Trust Fund, which was applied for in September 2024. AHDC will continue to apply for development funds during the 2025 -2026 year. 122
AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.

Annual Action Plan 2025 21

Available PLHA funds will be awarded in the future through a Notice of Funding Availability.

In the 2024-2025 program year, the City created two new locally funded affordable housing development assistance programs. The Development Impact Fee Deferral Program provides for the deferral of up to 50% of a housing unit’s major facility sewer and water impact fees, depending on income targeting/affordability of the unit. The Clovis Housing Trust Fund Program established a local fund to hold and expend affordable housing funds and be available to accept the future transfer of real property into the name of the Housing Trust Fund to assist in the development and preservation of affordable housing.

These program funds will be leveraged with state and federal program funds, as applicable, to maximize affordable housing opportunities.

Affordable Housing
AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)
Introduction
The City of Clovis prioritizes activities that preserve or develop the affordable housing stock in Clovis. Over the last several years, the City has participated with both the Fresno Housing Authority and affordable housing developers for the creation of new affordable housi ng units. Additionally, in the 2024 -2025 program year, the City created two new locally funded affordable housing development assistance programs. These program funds will be leveraged with state and federal program funds, as applicable, to maximize affordable housing opportunities.

The table below identifies households to be assisted with CDBG Funds in regards to Affordable Housing. A total of 14 households will be assisted through the CDBG funded owner -occupied housing rehabilitation program activities. It is expected that 150 persons will be assisted by the Marjaree Mason Center through public service set aside, to ensure survivors of domestic violence can find safe shelter and avoid homelessness.

Discussion
To assist in meeting the City’s Affordable Housing goals, the City will provide CDBG grants to low-income homeowners to assist in the rehabilitation of their home. It is anticipated that the program will benefit 14 homeowners in the 2025-2026 program year. Up to $8,000 in grant funding is made available per home to provide for health and safety repairs, as well as provide for weatherization as an eligible use second to health and safety uses.

Annual Action Plan 2025 33

In the 2025-2026 program year, the City will provide CDBG public service set aside funds to the Marjaree Mason Center (services for survivors of domestic violence). The Marjaree Mason Center will fund 24/7 safe shelter and critical support services for 125 adults and 30 children.

Other Resources
In 2021 the City provided $1,000,000 to the Fresno Housing Authority for the construction of 60 units of affordable housing. The funding was provided through the City’s Affordable Housing Development Impact Fee Reduction Program. In 2022, the City provided $300,000 in Development Impact Fee Reduction funds to assist the City’s first permanent supportive housing development, Butterfly Gardens. The 75 -unit project provides housing and supportive services to disabled individuals and at-risk homeless individuals.

The City has been awarded 2023 California CalHome Program funds. These funds will also be leveraged with CDBG Funds for housing rehabilitation activities. It is anticipated that 20 units will be rehabilitated over the 3 year program period. A portion of the 2023 CalHome Program Funds will be allocated towards mortgage assistance for the purchase of 8 mobile homes for first time homebuyers.

The City received $1,872,677 in Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program funds from the State of California, for the development of affordable housing. In January 2024, the City awarded $1,481,280 to a local affordable housing developer, AHDC Inc. , who, in partnership with the Fresno Housing Authority proposes to build a 47-unit affordable senior housing development. During the 2024 -2025 year, the City also awarded $1,000,000 in local Housing Trust funds to AHDC for this project, contingent on a ma tching award of $1,000,000 from the California Local Housing Trust Fund, which was applied for in September 2024. AHDC will continue to apply for development funds during the 2025 -2026 year. Available PLHA funds will be awarded in the future through a Notice of Funding Availability.

In the 2024-2025 program year, the City created two new locally funded affordable housing development assistance programs. The Development Impact Fee Deferral Program provides for the deferral of up to 50% of a housing unit’s major facility sewer and water impact fees, depending on income targeting/affordability of the unit. The Clovis Housing Trust Fund Program established a local fund to hold and expend affordable housing funds and be available to accept the future transfer of real property into the name of the Housing Trust Fund to assist in the development and preservation of affordable housing.

These program funds will be leveraged with state and federal program funds, as applicable, to maximize affordable housing opportunities.

Additionally, the City works closely with the Fresno Housing Authority to provide referrals to the Housing Choice Voucher program for Clovis residents. As population demographics continue to change and need continues to rise, Clovis will explore further partnerships with the Housing Authority and other affordable housing developers to develop additional affordable housing projects in Clovis.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The City of Clovis doesn’t receive direct state or federal funding to assist the homeless population or other special needs populations. Regardless, the City of Clovis is an active member of the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC), which is the organization that acts as the regional planning body to address homelessness in the region. This collaborative group addresses chronic homelessne ss, homelessness prevention, and discharge coordination policies on a region-wide basis for Fresno and Madera Counties , which includes the City of Clovis. Based upon the consultation process, the City has recognized a need for shelters for other at-risk populations such as youth and veterans, and has provided funding to a 75 -unit permanent supportive housing project, Butt erfly Gardens, that provides permanent supportive housing units for disabled and at risk homeless individuals. Additionally, during the 2024 -2025 program year, the City provided CDBG funds to the Marjaree Mason Center, a local non-profit that provides safe shelter and lifesaving supportive services for individuals and families affected by domestic violence. The City proposes to continue funding the MMC in the 2025-2026 fiscal year with CDBG funds in the amount of $57,000. In addition to the provision of CDBG funds, the City will continue to pursue other local and State ESG funding and projects to serve these populations.

The FMCOC conducted a new PIT in early 2025. The reporting and analysis for this PIT will be available in June/July 2025, or later.

The Fresno-Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC) released the Point-in-Time (PIT) count in June 2022. The PIT is the annual count of the region’s sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals and families.

Despite the FMCoC’s efforts to expand housing availability and services, the overall count of the number of persons experiencing homelessness continues to increase significantly, as compared to the 2020 Count.

At 4,216 homeless individuals, the 2022 report represents an increase of 15.8% in comparison to the 2020 PIT. Of the 4,216 individuals, 2,338 were experiencing unsheltered homelessness, 1,524 were using emergency shelters, and 336 were using transitional housing. The PIT identified a total of 5,101 homeless specific housing units that were operational within Fresno County and Madera County as of February 23, 2022.

Per the information provided in the 2022 PIT, the Count in the region rose to a peak in 2011, gradually declined for several years after that, and then began increasing again, with a sharper increase over the last two years. This pattern roughly tracks the progress of the economy: homelessness rose during the last years of the Great Recession in 2009 and 2010, then fell over the next few years as the economy recovered, then began rising again around 2017 as droughts and layoffs reduced job market opportunities in the Central Valley, then further increased in 2019 as the COVID -19 pandemic interfered with service and entertainment jobs. Homelessness is often a lagging indicator of general poverty: when people are laid off from work, they often will be able to remain housed for a year or two using savings, help from family, and so on before running out of options. It is worth noting that the last few years have seen a truly impressive increase in the number of emergency shelter beds available in the FMCoC region. This has 137

caused the number of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in the FMCoC to decrease by about 13%, even as the total number of people experiencing homelessness has been increasing.

Describe the jurisdictions one -year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
As mentioned above, the City proposes to again provide 2025 -2026 program year CDBG funds to the Marjaree Mason Center. This program will be used to support 24/7 safe shelter and critical support services for survivors of domestic violence as well as outrea ch programs which increase awareness of domestic violence and its impact on the community. Families that are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking are most likely to need emergency housing, rapid re -housing, or homeless prevention assistance as they may be hiding from their assailants. They are at risk of being homeless as a result of their experiences. It is anticipated that 125 adults and 30 children will receive assistance with this CDBG funded program.

Additionally, the City proposes to apply for other available resources to assist those experiencing homelessness, such as the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). The ESG funds will be available for competitive applications to non -entitlement jurisdictions of ESG, through the County of Fresno, in late spring/early summer 2025.

The City is also an active supporter of the FMCoC’s Coordinated Entry System. The Coordinated Entry System provides an integrated intake process that connects individuals facing housing, domestic violence, substance abuse, physical health and/or mental he alth challenges to supportive services. Those needing service can access the system at various multi-Agency access points of entry (MAP), or via telephone. MAP access points are located throughout the County, and specifically at the Poverello House (a home less shelter), Clinica Sierra Vista, Fresno EOC, The Welcome Center and at the Marjaree Mason Center. Those needing homeless services within Clovis are referred to the MAP sites, and/or to the 24 hour telephone access line.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City of Clovis amended their Development Code to allow emergency shelters and transitional housing, by-right, in any area that allows residential development. The first project to come to fruition was Butterfly Gardens. In the 2025 -2026 program year, the City of Clovis will also provide CDBG funds to the Marjaree Mason Center to provide assistance to survivors of domestic violence. The number of survivors seeking safe shelter and domestic violence support services continues to rise each year. Clients will be provided with comprehensive case management services, individual and group counseling, legal advocacy, housing assistance, employment assistance, financial planning, transportation and linkages to additional service providers when appropriate.

Additionally, the City proposes to apply for other available resources to assist those experiencing homelessness, such as the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). The ESG funds will be available for competitive applications to non -entitlement jurisdictions of ESG, through the County of Fresno, in late spring/early summer 2025.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the peri od of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
In October 2022, the City welcomed its first dedicated permanent supportive housing development, Butterfly Gardens. The 75-unit project was a result of a partnership with the County of Fresno Behavioral Health Department, and a private non-profit housing developer. Butterfly Gardens provides housing and supportive services to disabled individuals and at -risk homeless individuals. City staff continues to meet regularly with management staff from Butterfly Gardens to provide any needed support and to ensure the project partnership continues. Additionally, City staff regularly refers persons needing housing assistance to the various MAP sites, and to the 24-hour intake telephone line.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.

Clovis residents have access to many facilities within Fresno County, including assisted and independent residential facilities for both the general adult population and the elderly. There are over 200 residential elderly care facilities in the County of Fresno, with capacity for over 5,000 persons. There are over 150 Adult residential facilities, with capacity for over 900 persons. • Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly provide care, supervision and assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing and grooming. They may also provide incidental medical services under special care plans. The facilities provide services to persons 60 years of age and ove r, and persons under 60 with comparable needs. These facilities can also be known as assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and board and care homes.

Adult Residential Facilities are facilities of any capacity that provide 24 -hour non-medical care for adults ages 18-59, who are unable to provide for their own daily needs. Adults may be physically handicapped, developmentally disabled, and/or mentally disabled.

Discussion
The Marjaree Mason Center has over 40 years of experience in providing safe shelter and lifesaving supportive services for individuals and families affected by domestic violence. CDBG funds will be used to support 24/7 safe shelter and critical support ser vices for survivors of domestic violence as well as outreach programs which increase awareness of domestic violence and its impact on the community.

Domestic violence is a vicious cycle of power and control that includes (but is not limited to) isolation, physical assault, verbal abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse and financial abuse; the long -term effects of which often lead victims to experience depression, anxiety, fear, homelessness, unemployment and financial instability. Clients will receive compreh ensive case management services, individual and group counseling, legal advocacy, housing assistance, employment assistance, financial planning, transportation and linkages to additional service providers when appropriate.

In October 2022, the City welcomed its first dedicated permanent supportive housing development, Butterfly Gardens. The 75-unit project was a result of a partnership with the County of Fresno Behavioral Health Department, and a private non-profit housing developer. Butterfly Gardens provides housing and supportive services to disabled individuals and at -risk homeless individuals. City staff continues to meet regularly with management staff from Butterfly Gardens to provide any needed support and to ensure the project partnership continues successfully into the future.

The City of Clovis granted funds to the Fresno Housing Authority for the development of Solivita Commons, a 60 -unit affordable multi-family project. The project is 100% deed -restricted for affordable housing. The City provided land use support, applicati on for funding support, and the grant of funds to make the project possible. Construction was completed in 2021, and the property is now leased.

The City is a recipient of State of California CalHome program funds. These funds are focused on owner - occupied rehabilitation including mobile home replacements which house extremely low-income seniors who are at high risk of homelessness. In addition, a small portion of the funds will be used for down - payment assistance.

The City is also a recipient of Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) program funds. In January 2024, the City awarded $1,481,280 in PLHA funds to a local affordable housing developer, AHDC Inc., who, in partnership with the Fresno Housing Authority pr oposes to build a 47-unit affordable senior housing development. The project is currently in pre -development. AHDC will continue to apply for state and federal development funds during the 2025 -2026 years. Programming for the additional PLHA funds will be determined in the 2025-2026 program year.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:

Clovis faces barriers to affordable housing that are common across housing markets, including decreasing supply of developable land, which increases the cost of acquisition and development of the land. Another common barrier is negative reaction from neig hbors regarding affordable housing development based upon a misconception that property values will decline and cause an increase in parking and traffic. Over the last several years, the region has experienced a rapid rise in home values, and interest rates, thereby pricing out first time homebuyers from the home ownership market. Though home values are still significantly below what can be found in surrounding areas, such as the Bay Area, Central Coast and Southern California, the asking prices for homes in the Central Valley are still beyond reach for most lower income families. Although the number of active listings is higher this year than in recent years, home sales have slowed due to these market forces.

Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
The City of Clovis has a new certified Housing Element as of December 2024. The 2023 -2031 Housing Element identifies several governmental constraints to development, including: lack of transportation options, parking requirements in development code, and rising development fees, Nongovernmental constraints were identified as follows: Construction Costs and Availability of Financing.

Discussion:

Obtaining financing for purchasing a first home can be a daunting task. Many low-income families depend on the availability of government resources to assist them complete a financing package to purchase a home. Clovis staff will continue to apply for and administer mortgage assistance, or first-time homebuyer programs to assist low -income families purchase a home. For the 2025 -2026 program year, Clovis proposes to utilize federal funds and state funds for downpayment assistance/mortgage assistance.

The 2023-2031 City of Clovis Housing Element includes a Housing Plan that contains the goals, policies, implementation programs, and quantified objectives for the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing in Clovis. The focus of the Housing Plan is to identify goals, policies, and programs to meet the housing needs of all income groups while preserving and enhancing existing neighborhoods, removing impediments to housing growth, reducing living expenses that are indirectly related to housing, such as transportation costs and energy costs, and to affirmatively further fair housing. The Housing Plan also provides implementation programs that identifies departmental responsibility for carrying out actions in order to accomplish the goals of the Housing Plan. 141

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:

This section will provide the City's other actions related to implementing the goals and priorities identified in the 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan. The CDBG programs have a stated goal to support the development of viable urban communities by funding progra ms that provide decent housing, suitable living environments, and expansion of economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate - income.

The City will prioritize funding to meet the following Consolidated Plan goals:
• Improve Public Facilities
• Increase access to affordable housing
• Provide community and supportive services
• Expand economic development, including commercial revitalization, business expansion, and/or job creation
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs In the 2025 -2026 program year, the City will again provide CDBG public service set aside funds to two organizations, the Clovis Senior Center, and the Marjaree Mason Center. The Clovis Senior Center Enrichment Activities project will provide new and enhan ced programs, services and classes in order to serve more senior citizens at the Clovis Senior Center. The Marjaree Mason Center will fund 24/7 safe shelter and critical support services for survivors of domestic violence as well as outreach programs which increase awareness of domestic violence and its impact on the community.

Additionally, the City will continue to pursue additional Federal, State, local and private funding, when available, to assist in meeting the underserved needs of Clovis residents. The City will continue partnering with community based organizations, businesses and other public agencies to increase and align services in the community.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing City staff will continue to monitor and apply for other funding sources, to increase the stock of affordable housing, and improve the condition of homes owned by lower income families.

The City of Clovis has a new certified Housing Element as of December 2024. The Housing Element provides guidance to City Departments, residents, business and housing developers on how to strategically provide housing for all income levels, particularly those with lower incomes.

Additionally, in the 2024-2025 program year, the City created two new locally funded affordable housing development assistance programs. The Development Impact Fee Deferral Program provides for the 142
AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.

Annual Action Plan 2025 41

deferral of up to 50% of a housing unit’s major facility sewer and water impact fees, depending on income targeting/affordability of the unit. The Clovis Housing Trust Fund Program established a local fund to hold and expend affordable housing funds and be available to accept the future transfer of real property into the name of the Housing Trust Fund to assist in the development and preservation of affordable housing.

These program funds will be leveraged with state and federal program funds, as applicable , to maximize affordable housing opportunities.

City staff also provides technical assistance to affordable housing developers throughout the development process. Review and approval of these projects is a priority for City Departments. The City's Planning Division also provides for a development densit y bonus as part of it's Affordable Housing Incentives programming, and assists developers in the application for and implementation of this tool. Additional incentives or concessions are reviewed and approved by the City if the development meets income targeting thresholds. These can include reductions in standards such as setback requirements, approval of mixed-use land uses not otherwise authorized by code, and other incentives that may be requested by the applicant.

The City will also continue to administer its "Cottage Home Program" to incentivize the construction of accessory dwelling units (ADU). The City offers three pre-approved ADU building plans free of charge to residents who propose to build a Cottage Home o n their property. A goal of the program is to provide additional affordable housing opportunities for the community.

The City was recently awarded $1.8M in 2023 funds from the State of California CalHome program. These funds are focused on owner-occupied mobile home rehabilitation, including mobile home replacements, which house extremely low -income seniors who are at hi gh risk of homelessness. In addition, a small portion of the funds will be used for down-payment assistance.

The City is also a recipient of Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) program funds. In January 2024, the City awarded $1,481,280 in PLHA funds to a local affordable housing developer, AHDC Inc., who, in partnership with the Fresno Housing Authority pr oposes to build a 47 -unit affordable senior housing development. The project is currently in pre -development. AHDC will continue to apply for state and federal development funds during the 2025 -2026 years. Additional PLHA funds will be awarded in the future through a Notice of Funding Availability.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
City staff will continue to provide households with resources and guidance to reduce lead -based paint hazards. All housing program participants receive the "Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home" pamphlet published by the US Environmental Protection Agency. All required precautions are taken to ensure lead is not disturbed with projects assisted with CDBG funds, and that vulnerable residents are not exposed. Additionally, City staff provides copies of the pamphlet at resource fairs throughout the year. 143

AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Fire Department
DATE: May 5, 2025
SUBJECT: Consider various actions related to the Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ) as recommended by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection pursuant to Government Code Section 51178.

a. Consider Approval - Res. 25-___, Adopting findings and designated fire severity zones by the California State Fire Marshal’s Office (CSFM) as identified within the local response area (LRA).

b. Consider Introduction – Ord. 25-___, Adding Chapter 4.4.1 to Title 4 of the Clovis Municipal Code Pertaining to adopting the Designation of Fire Hazard Severity Zones and Reflected in the FHSZ Map.

Staff: Chad Fitzgerald, Life Safety Enforcement Manager Recommendation: Approve

ATTACHMENTS: 1. LRA FHSZ Map

2. Res. 25-

3. Ord. 25-___

4. Public Hearing Notice

RECOMMENDATION

1. For the City Council to approve the Resolution 25-___, adopting findings and designated fire severity zones by the California State Fire Marshals Office (CSFM) as identified within the local response area (LRA); and

2. For the City Council to approve the introduction of Ordinance 25-__, Adding Chapter 4.4.1 to Title 4 of the Clovis Municipal Code Pertaining to adopting the Designation of Fire Hazard Severity Zones and Reflected in FHSZ Map.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CAL FIRE has revised their Fire Haz ard Severity Zone maps. These changes are part of an effort to enhance wildfire preparedness and safety across California. These maps classify areas into “Moderate,” “High,” and “Very High” fire hazard zones based on factors such as vegetation, 195
AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.
slope, and fire weather conditions. Local municipalities are required to adopt these changes within 120 days of the map’s release.

BACKGROUND
California Government Code Section 51179(a) mandates that local agencies "shall designate, by ordinance, moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones in [their] jurisdiction within 120 days of receiving recommendations from the State Fire Marshal pursuant to Section 51178.

The Clovis Fire Department (CFD) received these maps on March 10, 2025. The designation of moderate, high and very high hazards are based on consistent statewide criteria including:

1. Terrain

2. Urban vegetation cover

3. Weather

4. Blowing embers

5. Fire history

6. Urban proximity to wildland areas

Combined, these factors provide a hazard analysis as required within the California Government Code 51178 and 51175. It is important to note that the maps evaluate ‘hazard’, not ‘risk’. Hazard is based on physical conditions that create expected fire behavior over a 50-year period without any preventative interventions such as fuel reduction projects, defensible space and ignition resistant building construction.

With respect to the CSFM map uni que to Clovis (exhibit #1) there are no ‘high’ or ‘very high’ hazard severity zones within the City of Clovis boundaries. If such zones existed, Council would be required to implement mitigation and enforcement measures for properties within the zone that could include 100’ defensible space clearance and changes to property development standards (i.e. road widths, water supply, signage) to reduce potential losses.

It should be noted that the CSFM office has designated a portion of the Clovis landfill as having a ‘high’ risk. Fortunately, the lack of homes or businesses on site significantly reduces loss of life or economic impacts. Furthermore, the structure that serves as the office for landfill operations maintains the necessary clearances and fire reduction practices for that location.

As maps were updated across the State, some concerns were raised regarding the impact adopted municipal maps might have on insurance. Insurance companies use risk models which differ from hazard models since they consi der the susceptibility of a structure to damage from fire and other short -term factors that are not included in the CSFM hazard modeling. Those short-term factors drive the rate changes with the CSFM model remaining steady.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
Senate Bill 63 (Stern, 2021), requires the adoption of all three Fire Hazard Severity Zone classes in the LRA. Previously only Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones were required for adop tion within local jurisdictions.

196
AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Should the Council approve the introduction of the ordinance, the ordinance will return for recommended adoption at the next City Council meeting.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
None.

For the City Council to approve Res. 25-___, approving the Building Division Hourly Rate of $110 for services.

For the City Council to approve Res. 2 5-___, approving the 2025 City of Clovis Planning Division fee schedule.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff is recommending updates to the following fee programs:

1. Building Division hourly rate for services

2. Planning Division fees

203
AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.

Building Division Hourly
The Building Division hourly rate was last updated by Resolution 11-24, which took effect on April 21, 2011. The Building Division has reviewed the costs and estimated time for providing its services and recommends the current hourly rate of $95 per hour be increased to $110 per hour to support the cost recovery needed to ensure the City is recovering the estimated cost of the services it provides. The proposed hourly rate increase will cover a comprehensive range of Building Division services, including but not limited to plan review, inspections, permit processing , and code enforcement. The proposed increase equates to approximately a 17.5% increase across the board for all permits. The 1997 Uniform Administrative Code's provisions serve s as the administrative, organizational, and enforcement rules and regulations for the technical codes that regulate site preparation and construction , alteration, moving, demolition, repair, use, and occupancy of buildings, structures, and building service equipment within this jurisdiction . The updated hourly rate will provide the funding necessary for the City to recover the costs of Building Division staff time and other expenses related to the review, processing, and inspection of projects to maintain a functional level of service to the public. The updated hourly rate fee will take effect beginning July 7, 2025, no sooner than 60 days after approval.

Planning Division Fee Schedule
The Planning Division fee schedule was last updated by Resolution 24-79, which took effect September 3, 2024. The operational costs have increased for the Planning Division and a 4.22% across-the-board increase is recommended, based on the 5-year average change in the consumer price index (CPI). This methodology is consistent with the strategy used in conjunction with the 2022, 2023, and 2024 annual fee updates, following a comprehensiv e update in 2021. The five- year average was used because it accounts for the changes in costs that have occurred while softening the effects of single -year CPI changes that have occurred over the last few years. The updated fee schedule will provide the funding necessary for the City to recover the costs of Planning Division staff time and other expenses related to the review and processing of various applications to maintain a functional level of service to the public. The updated fees will take effect beg inning July 7, 2025, no sooner than 60 days after approval.

PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
Building Division Hourly Rate
The Building Division has reviewed the costs and estimated time for providing plan review, inspections, permit processing, and code enforcement services. Staff is recommending the hourly rate be increased from $95 hour to $110 to recover the cost of services provided. This hourly rate adjustment is necessary as it directly impacts our financial stability and the quality of services provided.

• The Building Division used two (2) comprehensive analyses to justify the increase in the hourly rate. The first analysis compared Clovis to our nine (9) comparable cities, specific to processing plans and building permits for an average sized standard single -family dwelling unit using the $95 and $110 hourly rate. The results indicated Clovis’ hourly rate was 78% to 271% lower than the comparable cities. The second analysis was a detailed time and motion study of actual hours spent vs the fees collected to provide Building - related services. The Average standard home fees collected at the current hourly rate of 204
AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.
$95.00 to cover the st aff expenditures show a deficiency of 11.40%. However, with the increase to a $110.00 hourly rate, we have a 3.08% increase in the positive.

The proposed hourly rate increase to $110 keeps the building fees competitive within our market area and provides the funding necessary for the Division to recover the costs of staff time and other expenses related to the services provided. The updated rate will take effect beginning July 7, 2025, no sooner than 60 days after approval.

Staff intends to proceed with a routine review of the hourly Building fee rate and will recommend annual adjustments to Council as appropriate.

Planning Division Fee Schedule
Based on the evaluation completed in April 2025, staff is recommending an update to the 202 4 Planning Division Fee Schedule utilizing the CPI for All Urban Consumers. The CPI has been identified as the most applicable index for an adjustment to the Planning fees, which are based primarily on personnel costs. The recommended methodology utilizes the average of the last five (5) years of the CPI percentage changes to arrive at a total increase of 4.22%. While it is relatively common to use the single year change in CPI to make these routine annual adjustments, a five - year average is recommended for the 2025 update. The five-year average of the CPI percentage change has been consistently recommended by staff since the comprehensive fee analysis was completed in 2021. Generally speaking, recommending the five -year average helps avoid the "spiking effect " that may occur if only the most recent year 's CPI was utilized. The following entitlement types are excepted from the recommended CPI increase:

 Small Home Occupation Permits, Staff Research & Document Preparation, and the Redistribution Fee for applications during the commenting period are proposed to remain at the current hourly rate of $150 per hour.

 The "per acre, per building permit, per sign, per unit, and per lot " fees are not being proposed to change.

The new rates within the Planning Division Fee schedule will take effect July 7, 2025, no sooner than 60 days following the approval of the resolution by Council.

Stakeholder Outreach
For the Building Division hourly rate, on March 17, 2025, a notification went out to the local Building Industry Association chapter, and the Building Division posted the notice to the industry on our website and handed pamphlets out to front counter customers. No comments from the industry have been received as of the completion of this staff report.

For the 2025 Planning Division Fee Schedule , an email was provided to a group of over 4,000 stakeholders describing the proposed changes on April 14, 2025 . The local Building Industry Association chapter was also notified on April 16, 2025. No comments have been received as of the completion of this staff report.

205
AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.

California Environmental Quality Act
The proposed Building Division and Planning Division updated fees have been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and based upon the Public Resources Code Section 15061(b)(3), there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment, therefore, is exempt from CEQA. Staff will file the notice of exemption with the County Clerk if the fee updates are approved.

FISCAL IMPACT
Building Division hourly rate update is necessary to cover the increased cost of providing plan review, inspection, permit processing, and code enforcement services, ensuring the City collects the fees necessary for providing services with less or no potential reliance on t he General Fund.

The hourly rate increase will maintain a level of fee collections that will not be excessive, for which the applicable fees are charged for services.

Planning Division fee updates are needed to cover the increased cost of providing the se rvices to applicants and allow City staff to maintain the current level of service for entitlement applications without reliance on the General Fund to cover the increased costs . The fee increases will not exceed the estimated cost to the City to provide the service for which the applicable fee is charged.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending an increase in the hourly rate to $110 per hour to cover the cost of staff services of permit processing, plan review, building inspections, and code enforcement provided by the Building Division . Staff intends to proceed with a routine review of the hourly Building fee rate and will recommend annual adjustments to Council as appropriate.

Staff is recommending a n update to the Planning Division fee schedule to cover the cost of staff services provided on entitlement applications. The recommended fee updates are consistent with the discussion presented to stakeholders, during which staff outlined the recommendation to proceed with routine or annual adjustments to the fees.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL

1. Building Division staff will notify the development community and implement the new hourly rate no sooner than 60 days after approval of the resolution.

2. Planning staff will notify the development community and implement the new rates for the Planning Fee Schedule no sooner than 60 days after approval of the resolution.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
None.
