TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Finance Department
DATE: September 15, 2025
SUBJECT: Finance - Approval - Res. 2 5-___, Budget Amendment to Increase Expenditures Related to Approved Negotiated Salary and Benefit Adjustments; and Authorizing Amendments to the City’s Compensation Plan.

ATTACHMENTS: 1. Res. 25-___, Budget Amendment

RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to approve a resolution amending the 2025-2026 Budget for all departments to provide for the cost of the approved negotiated salary and benefit adjustments.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Between May 12 , 2025, and July 7, 2025, Council approved updated Memoranda of Understanding with the City’s eight bargaining u nits, as well as approved updates to certain management salaries and benefits. The newly negotiated salaries and benefits were more than what was provided for in the adopted 202 5-2026 Budget. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt a resolution that increases expenditures in each department to reflect the additional costs that were agreed to by the City.

BACKGROUND
The fiscal year 2025-2026 Budget was adopted on June 9, 2025. The City included within that adopted budget a 3% cost -of-living increase for all full-time employees. However, negotiations with the City’s eight bargaining units resulted in a variety of other equity and benefit adjustments.

In addition, c ertain bargaining units included side letters for the City to address compaction issues after th e conclusion of negotiations by September 30, 2025. Below is a list of those positions that required additional salary adjustments to relieve compaction within their units.

CPSEA

The amounts needed for these adjustments have been included in the budget amendment total below.

The total amount of the budget amendment necessary for all funds is approximately $3.8 million.

The total amount of the budget amendment specifically for the General Fund and Measure Y Fund is approximately $2.9 million and $0.12 million respectively. This represents ongoing costs for negotiated increases in employee salaries and benefits.

These additional costs were not included in the adopted budget; therefore, staff is bringing forth a budget amendment to increase the expenditures for salaries and benefits for all affected departments.

FISCAL IMPACT
The attached budget amendment resolution outlines the expenditure impact to each department and fund. Existing resources within each fund will be utilized to cover the additional costs of the negotiated salary and benefit increases.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The approval of this resolution is necessary to reflect within the budget the increased costs that will be incurred due to the negotiated salary and benefit increases . Modifications to the City’s Compensation Plan require City Council’s approval.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
The budget will be amended to reflect the changes to each department’s salary and benefit expenditure line items. The City’s Compensation Plan will be updated to include these changes.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
None.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Fire Department
DATE: September 15, 2025
SUBJECT: Fire – Approval – Res. 25-__, Adopting the City of Clovis Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) Annex as part of the Fresno County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP).

ATTACHMENTS: 1. Res. 25-

2. City of Clovis LHMP Annex

RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to approve a resolution adopting the Clovis-specific LHMP Annex.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Disaster Mitigation Act (DMA) of 2000 and 44 Code of Federal Regulations 201.6 requires a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) to be prepared before a disaster to guide risk reduction activities prior to an event. In coordination with Fresno County, Clovis followed the process required by the DMA to analyze both the County risk and City of Clovis risk from natural hazards.

The (MJHMP) and LHMP are the result of that process. Specifically, these plans identify natural hazard risks faced regionally and locally, establish a means to coordinate available resources, and outline actions to reduce or eliminate risks.

The MJHMP and LHMP Annex have received tentative approval from the California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). To be fully executed and approved, Council must formally adopt each plan and direct staff to incorporate the City of Clovis LHMP into the Safety Element of the General Plan as part of the General Plan Update proc ess. In addition, jurisdictions must adopt the plan if they wish to be eligible for various federal mitigation, preparedness, or response grant funding.

BACKGROUND
Hazard mitigation is defined as any action that reduces the effects of future disasters. It has been proven that hazard mitigation is most effective when based on an inclusive, comprehensive, long-term plan that is developed before a disaster occurs. However, in the past, many communities have undertaken mitigation actions with good intentions but with little advance planning. In some of these cases, decisions have been made impulsively in the wake of a disaster. In other cases, decisions may have been made in advance but without careful 14 AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.
consideration of all options, effects, and/or contributing factors. The results have been mixed at best, leading to suboptimal use of limited resources.

The primary purpose of hazard mitigation planning is to identify community policies, actions, and tools for implementation over the long term that will result in a reduction in risk and potential for future losses community wide. This is accomplished by using a systematic process of learning about the hazards that can affect Clovis, setting clear goals, identifying appropriate actions, following through with an effective mitigation strategy, and keeping the plan current. The update of the existing LHMP began in December of 2023. Utilizing grant monies received for the planning process, Fresno County and participating jurisdictions selected Witt O’Briens to facilitate and develop the plan. Under the contract, Witt O’Briens was charged with:

• Assist in establishing the Hazard Mitigation Panning Committee as defined by the DMA. • Meet DMA requirements for the entire LHMP update process. • Assist in facilitating the public input process.
• Produce the draft and final plan documents.
• Coordinate the CalOES and FEMA Region IX plan reviews.

Through public involvement in the process, the LHMP and Clovis annex will support important community goals and objectives, an d influence future decision making to include hazard reduction considerations. LHMP development and adoption will enable Clovis to better identify sources of technical and financial resources outside of traditional venues.

Local governments without an ap proved LHMP will not be eligible to receive Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) project grants for disasters. Also affected will be future mitigation project funding awarded through the Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program, the Pre -Disaster Mitigation (PDM) grant programs, and the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) low - interest, pre-disaster, small business loan program.

FISCAL IMPACT
Failure to adopt the MJHMP and LHMP annex places the City of Clovis at risk of losing eligibility for future disaster reimbursement and mitigation funding —potentially amounting to millions of dollars, depending on the scale of the disaster or project.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The cost to address the effects of disasters is greater than advance planning and m itigation.

The most meaningful steps in avoiding the impacts of hazards are taken at the local level with a focus on a sustained program of planning and implementation. Participation in the Fresno County Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan is an e fficient use of staff resources and ensures Clovis is appropriately represented within a regional plan.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Staff will develop a maintenance plan, incorporate the LHMP into the General Plan during the General Plan Update process and send a copy of the resolution and cover letter to FEMA recognizing adoption.

To update the City of Clovis’ jurisdictional annex, the City had the opportunity to consult and engage local stakeholders and partners during the planning process as needed. Additionally, during the planning process, the Witt O’Brien’s consulting team provided opportunities for the City of Clovis’ input.

These opportunities included completing worksheets (such as the Capability Assessment, Hazard Risk Assessment, and Mitigation Strategy Worksheets), reviewing and providing feedback on the draft jurisdictional annex, providing feedback during planning team meetings, and providing feedback through emails or phone calls. The City of Clovis did not engage with stakeholders outside of those invited by the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee. These stakeholders are documented in Appendix B.

GEOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE
Located in the northeast quadrant of the Fresno-Clovis Metropolitan Area in northern Fresno County, Clovis is situated in the midst of the agriculturally rich San Joaquin Valley. The Clovis planning area encompasses, which include the Sphere of Influence (SOI), is approximately 40,000 acres, shown in Figure 2. City of Clovis Limits and Sphere of Influence. In recent years, the city has annexed land in the southeast near Dog Creek and expanded its Sphere of Influence in the north. All lands outside of the City’s Sphere of Influence are regulated by the Fresno County General Plan and zoning designations. However, state law requires that cities plan for areas outside of their immediate jurisdiction if the areas have a direct relationship to planning needs.

Clovis consists of three distinct geographical areas: The City, which represents the incorporated City within the City limit boundaries; the Sphere of Influence, which corresponds to the City’s existing Sphere of Influence; and the study area, which includes unincorporated Fresno County lands outside of the City’s Sphere of Influence. Immediately beyond Clovis to the northeast are the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The City of Fresno and its Sphere of Influence are located to the southwest. The southwestern portion of Clovis is characterized by mostly urbanized land uses, whereas the northern and eastern portions of Clovis are predominantly rural in nature, comprised of agricultural, rural, residential, and vacant land uses.

Clovis has an average annual temperature of 64.9°F and receives 17.1 inches of rain, shown in the figure below. While the average is relatively temperate, summer and winter months bring unique weather patterns to the region. During the winter, high temperatures hover in the 50’s. Figure 3.

Fresno-Yosemite International Airport Monthly Normals for Precipitation and Temperature (1991-2020) shows the monthly temperature and precipitation normals for the nearest National Weather Service (NWS) weather station which is at the Fresno-Yosemite International Airport.

Combined with the regional geography and precipitation during this time, Clovis experiences numerous days with dense fog, which has its greatest impact on transportation: accident rates jump 50 percent on foggy days. 1

The figure above shows the monthly precipitation and temperature normal for the Fresno-Yosemite International Airport weather station, which is the closest station to the City of Clovis.

During the summer months, the region has extended periods where temperatures exceed 100°F. While the average temperature is 90°F during the summer, these extended heat waves impact the medically fragile, elderly, and animal populations. In addition to heat waves, the Fresno County region continues to suffer regular drought due to lower than normal snowpack in the Sierra Nevada, which supplies water for agricultural use and replenishes the groundwater supply.

HISTORY
The City of Clovis was named after the spirited pioneer, Clovis M. Cole, who spent nearly all of his life in the vicinity. The area was known for the thousands of acres of wheat that he had cultivated. The first thoughts of settlement, however, are credited to Padre Martin, who explored the area in 1806 while searching for a mission site. Missionaries and trappers were the first nonnative people to roam the area. Miners soon followed during the gold rush, forcibly displacing the many Native American tribes that were settled in the foothills and near the rivers.

Another early settler, Marcus Pollasky, proposed and coordinated the construction of a railroad through the grain, cattle, and mining country and into the timber-rich forests of the nearby Sierra. The City eventually grew up around the San Joaquin Division of the Southern Pacific Railroad, which played an important role in the founding and growth of Clovis. In addition to the arrival of the railroad, the completion of the 42-mile-long Shaver log flume, development of the 40-acre Clovis mill and finishing plant, expansion of grain production, and the livestock industry all contributed to the founding of Clovis in 1891. The City was incorporated in 1912.

ECONOMY
The City’s economic base consists of retail sales and services and light manufacturing. Availability of housing, quality hospital care, excellent schools with modern facilities, responsive safety services, a mild climate, access to varied recreational opportunities, and strong community identity all contribute to Clovis’ reputation as a great place to live.

Clovis has actively maintained a small-town community spirit as envisioned by its founders, exemplified by such community events as the annual Rodeo Days, Big Hat Days, and Clovisfest celebration. This community pride, combined with Clovis’ unique growth opportunities, continues to attract new residents, developers, businesses, and industries to the City.

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND SUMMARY
Clovis’ planning team identified the hazards that affect the City and summarized their frequency of occurrence, spatial extent, potential magnitude, and significance specific to Clovis (see Table 6. City of Clovis - Hazard Summaries). Table 5. Risk Methodology shows methodology to how the hazards were ranked. In the context of the plan’s planning area, there are no hazards that are unique to Clovis.

VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT
The intent of this section is to assess Clovis’ vulnerability separate from that of the planning area, which has already been assessed in the Vulnerability Assessment section in the main plan. This vulnerability assessment analyzes the population, property, and other assets at risk to hazards ranked of medium or high significance that may vary from other parts of the planning area.

The information to support the hazard identification and risk assessment for this Annex was collected through a worksheet, which was distributed to each participating municipality or special district to complete during the 2024 plan update. Information collected was analyzed and summarized to identify and rank all the hazards that could impact anywhere within the County, as well as to rank the hazards and to identify the related vulnerabilities unique to each jurisdiction.

Each participating jurisdiction was in support of the main hazard summary identified in the base plan.

However, the hazard summary rankings for each jurisdictional annex may vary slightly due to specific hazard risk and vulnerabilities unique to that jurisdiction (See Table 6. City of Clovis - Hazard Summaries). Identifying these differences helps the reader to differentiate the jurisdiction’s risk and vulnerabilities from that of the overall County.

The hazard risk reflects overall ranking for each hazard and is based on the City of Clovis’ HMPC member input from the Risk Assessment Worksheet and the risk assessment developed during the planning process (see Chapter 4 of the base plan), which included a more detailed qualitative analysis with best available data.

The hazard summaries reflect the hazards that could potentially affect the City. The discussion of vulnerability for each of the following hazards is in the Estimating Potential Losses section. Those hazards that are not profiled in the vulnerability assessment were identified as consistent with the County’s overall vulnerability assessment. See Chapter 4 Risk Assessment for details on vulnerability to these hazards.

POPULATION AT RISK
The CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) is a tool that supports in identifying communities that are vulnerable to hazards and other stressors. Emergencies and disasters often highlight and intensify existing societal inequities, affecting groups based on socioeconomic status, race, age, disability, and other social factors. These events disproportionately impact certain populations, creating additional challenges in preparation, response, and recovery phases. More information on the SVI can be found in Chapter 4 of the base plan under the Social Vulnerability section.

In the City of Clovis, census tracts with a higher SVI are clustered near the southwestern portion of the City, as shown in Figure 4. City of Clovis Social Vulnerability Index Map. These census tracts may be at more risk of disaster and hazard impacts based on existing social inequities. To equitably reduce impacts to these communities, future planning, preparedness, and mitigation activities should work to address the social inequities that may increase their risk to disaster impacts. The CDC’s Interactive SVI Map is a useful tool is understanding which social factors contribute to a census tracts higher overall SVI (e.g., socioeconomic status, race, age, disability, etc.). 2

ASSETS AT RISK
This section considers Clovis’ assets at risk, including population, critical facilities and infrastructure, historic assets, economic assets, and growth and development trends.

CRITICAL FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE
A critical facility may be defined as one that is essential in providing utility or direction either during the response to an emergency or during the recovery operation. An inventory of critical facilities in the City of Clovis from Fresno County GIS is provided in Table 7. City of Clovis' Critical Facilities and in Figure 5. City of Clovis Critical Facilities.

HIGH POTENTIAL LOSS FACILITIES
High potential loss facilities as identified by FEMA HAZUS-MH are located throughout Clovis. Clovis works closely with the Clovis Unified School District, Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District, and elder care property owners in monitoring and assessing facilities that fall into this category that are not owned by the City.

TRANSPORTATION AND LIFELINE FACILITIES
Transportation and lifeline facilities are located in the center and northeast portion of Clovis. Highway 168 is the major thoroughfare through Clovis. The surface water treatment plant converts raw water from the Enterprise Canal (originating from the Kings River) into potable water for the residents of Clovis. This additional water production enables the City to turn off a portion of its groundwater wells throughout the year, resulting in the replenishment of the water table. The plant is capable of treating and delivering up to 15 million gallons per day of potable water to the City’s customers (expandable to 45 million gallons per day).

HISTORIC RESOURCES
While the City of Clovis has no registered state or federal historic sites, there are several assets within Clovis that define the community and represent the City’s history. Some of the historical sites of importance to Clovis are listed below.

 The Clovis Rodeo Grounds: 748 Rodeo Dr, Clovis, CA
 The Water Tower on 4th Street and Veterans Parkway
 The “Stones” / “All Class Stones” at Clovis Veterans Memorial Square: 808 4th St, Clovis, CA  The Clovis – Big Dry Creek Museum: 401 Pollasky Ave, Clovis, CA  Cecil Cox American Legion Post 147

ECONOMIC ASSETS
Clovis is the home to the Fresno County Department of Social Services, which employees more than 1,000 individuals. The loss of this facility could result in displaced employees and disrupted social services.

GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT TRENDS
Clovis continues to be the premier choice for housing developers and home buyers in the Fresno/Clovis metropolitan area. The City has been aided by an outstanding school district, which ranks among the best in the nation. The City has a reputation for being a safe and friendly community to raise a family.

The community is also making progress towards increased walkability as stretches of rail have been converted to public trails. However, land is costly and becoming very short in supply for housing, commercial, and industrial development. As Clovis strives to be more than a bedroom community, attention needs to be paid to preserving land for job generating activity in order to meet the jobs/housing balance.

Continued growth and development trends continue to be addressed at a local level and regional level through the Local Agency Formation Commission. These agencies coordinate to develop solutions that mitigate the impact of growth to land use, transportation, land use, air quality and access to services.

Hazard vulnerability and mitigation is addressed through these governing bodies based on the subject matter expertise of local public safety agencies or special districts who have jurisdictional authority in particular areas.

Of the 37,726 housing units in Clovis, 65.1 percent are occupied. Owner-occupied units account for

60.2 percent of all occupied housing. Single family detached homes comprise 75.1 percent of the housing stock in the city. The southwestern portion of Clovis is characterized by mostly urbanized land uses, whereas the northern and eastern portions of Clovis are predominantly rural in nature and characterized by agricultural, rural, residential, and vacant land uses.

California state law (Government Code Section 65302) requires each city and county to have an adopted general plan, a blueprint for future growth and development that addresses issues directly related to land use decisions (see Figure A.3 for current land use designations). The law specifies that each general plan addresses eight issue areas: land use, circulation, open space, conservation, housing, safety, noise, and an environmental justice element, which has recently been added since the last hazard mitigation plan update. Currently, the City of Clovis general plan does not address the newly added environmental justice element in their 2014 plan.

Adopted in 1993, the City of Clovis General Plan Program provides comprehensive planning for the future. It encompasses what the City is now, and what it intends to be, and provides the overall framework of how to achieve this future condition. Estimates are made about future population, household types, and employment base, so that plans for land use, circulation, and facilities can be made to meet future needs. The general plan represents an agreement on the fundamental values and vision that is shared by the residents and the business community of Clovis and the surrounding area of interest. Its purpose is to provide decision makers and City staff with direction for confronting present issues as an aid in coordinating planning issues with other governmental agencies and for navigating the future.

Clovis’ 2014 general plan is an update, expansion, and reorganization of the 1993 general plan.

Significant changes to the planning area have occurred, expanding the boundaries of the new planning area to the north and east to include both a Sphere of Influence and a study area beyond the sphere.

Pressure for development in the metropolitan area in and around the City of Clovis, the need for linkage to the regional transportation network, and the desire to establish Clovis in a pivotal position in the regional context warrant the decision to greatly expand the planning area as the foundation for the update and augmentation of the general plan. Clovis’ general plan consists of eight separate elements:

 Land Use
 Economic Development
 Circulation
 Housing
 Public Facilities and Services

Mitigation activities continue to be done in accordance with applicable state and federal requirements for floodplain management and in coordination with the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District which maintains regional responsibility for water management. Additional mitigation measures for critical infrastructure protection and rehabilitation are done through the City’s Capital Improvement Project (CIP) budget. To date, those mitigation projects have included fire station security, water/sewer infrastructure improvements and City Hall building rehabilitation.

For more information on hazard mitigation-related aspects of the general plan, see the discussion in Section Regulatory Mitigation Capabilities.

ESTIMATING POTENTIAL LOSSES
Note: This section details vulnerability to specific hazards, where quantifiable, and/or where (according to HMPC member input) it differs from that of the overall County.

Figure 6. City of Clovis Land Use above show Clovis’ exposure to hazards in terms of number and value of structures. Fresno County’s parcel and assessor data was used to calculate the improved value of parcels. The most vulnerable structures are those in the floodplain (especially those that have been flooded in the past), unreinforced masonry buildings, and buildings built prior to the introduction of modern-day building codes. Impacts of past events and vulnerability to specific hazards are further discussed below (see the Hazard Identification section for more detailed information about these hazards and their impacts on Fresno County as a whole).

DAM FAILURE (MEDIUM)
Potential flooding also exists in the form of reservoirs to the northeast and southeast of Clovis: Fancher Creek Reservoir and Big Dry Creek Reservoir. The major inundation areas from potential overflows from the Big Dry Creek Reservoir affect a major part of the northwesterly portion of Clovis as well as the northwesterly portions of the current City Sphere of Influence and City boundaries.

The Big Dry Creek Dam, which is immediately upstream from the City of Clovis, impounds stormwater runoff from Big Dry Creek in the Big Dry Creek Reservoir. The Big Dry Creek Reservoir is owned and operated by the Fresno County Metropolitan Flood Control District and is intended primarily for flood control of winter runoff from the Dry Creek and Dog Creek watersheds. In the 1990s, modifications were made to increase the capacity of the reservoir, and it now provides protection against the 200- year flood.

Under wet conditions, the Big Dry Creek Reservoir captures runoff and controls releases into artificial ditches and canals, which drain into either Little Dry Creek, located north of the reservoir, or in a southerly direction into Mill Ditch. Flows from Little Dry Creek and Mill Ditch eventually drain to the San Joaquin River. Flows from the reservoir can also be diverted into Dog Creek, which also eventually drains into the San Joaquin River. During dry weather conditions, the reservoir does not discharge water and is normally empty, except for a 156-acre-foot residual pool. The top of the pool remains below the elevation of an existing discharge gate. There have been no previous incidents from the Fancher Creek Reservoir and Big Dry Creek Reservoir.

DROUGHT (MEDIUM)
In 1988, 45 California counties experienced water shortages that adversely affected about 30 percent of the state’s population, much of the dry farmed agriculture, and over 40 percent of the irrigated agriculture. Fish and wildlife resources suffered, recreational use of lakes and rivers decreased, forestry losses and fires increased, and hydroelectric power production decreased. The most recent drought period occurred from 2020 to 2023 which ranked the driest period on record.

The City of Clovis rated drought as a medium priority hazard than for the County as a whole. While Clovis is not heavily dependent on agriculture, the City is highly dependent on surface water allocations from DWR to fulfill service deliveries to the community and to support ground water recharge.

Snowpack reductions and downstream allocations to agriculture can negatively impact the available surface water in Clovis in any given year. Extensive pumping of groundwater to meet the hydrologic 40 AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.

Annex A: City of Clovis
2024 Fresno County Hazard Mitigation Plan
May 2024 23
needs of Clovis when surface water is scarce may cause ground subsidence which can damage structures and create additional challenges for the community. The state has experienced frequent drought period over the past several decades. Additionally, when a drought period occurs, water is in high demand and can lead to high prices for water use and can pose a risk to people in affording higher prices and having access to clean water. Overall, the state experienced 76 percent of its average precipitation in 2022. The beginning of 2022 was the direst January through April based on records dating back to 1895 and received only 25 percent of the average statewide precipitation. In addition to a lack of precipitation, a persistent heat dome settled over California in early September that was long- lasting and intense, setting numerous daily and nightly high temperatures records. The majority of California did not receive any precipitation for a record-breaking 212 days. 3 EARTHQUAKE (MEDIUM)
Clovis is subject to relatively low seismic hazards compared to many other parts of California, however the area is prone to moderate earthquake risk. The primary seismic hazard is ground shaking produced by earthquakes generated on regional faults. The northwest-trending Clovis fault is believed to be located approximately five to six miles east of the City of Clovis, extending from an area just south of the San Joaquin River to a few miles south of Fancher Creek. It is considered a pre-Quaternary fault or fault without recognized Quaternary displacement. This fault is not necessarily inactive.

The most probable sources of earthquakes that might cause damage in Clovis are the Owens Valley Fault Group about 68 miles to the northeast, the Foothills Suture Fault Zone approximately 75 miles to the north, the San Andreas fault approximately 80 miles to the southwest, and the White Wolf fault located about 120 miles to the south. A maximum probable earthquake on any of the major faults would produce a maximum ground acceleration in the area of about 0. lg as ground deceleration generally decreases with increasing distance from the earthquake source. Several unreinforced masonry buildings are located in the Old Town part of the City. The recreation building also may be vulnerable to earthquakes.

Socioeconomically disadvantaged communities would experience the most damage due to the event perpetuating a cycle of poverty, displacement, and overall inequities. These communities may not be able to afford earthquake mitigation projects to their property, may not have authority to make such changes due to renting, or may be unhoused. Older adults, individuals with disabilities, and individuals with limited English proficiency are likely are more vulnerable to earthquakes due to lack of access to emergency communications and difficulty in evacuating unsafe structures for example.

EPIDEMIC/PANDEMIC (HIGH)
Based on the recent COVID-19 pandemic, epidemic and pandemic is ranked as high due to high mortality, hospitalizations, and infection rates. The City of Clovis’ vulnerability to an epidemic and pandemic is similar to the County’s and therefore no further information is needed to add to this section.

FLOOD/LEVEE FAILURE (HIGH)
Clovis is traversed by three natural stream systems. Each of these systems consists of sub streams or creeks that collect together to discharge to a centralized natural drainage channel. These systems are the Red Bank, Fancher, and Dog Creek System; the Dry and Dog Creek System; and the Pup Creek/Alluvial Drain System. The latter is a tributary of the original Dry Creek channel. These stream systems collect storm runoff from the foothills east of Clovis and convey such runoff through the Clovis/Fresno metropolitan areas to the Fresno Slough, which is located west of the City of Fresno.

Many of these channels have been modified over time such that they have become duel use stormwater conveyance channels and irrigation water conveyance channels. Those streams that have not been used for irrigation purposes have essentially remained in their natural state and have flowed uncontrolled during storm runoff events. These stream channels have limited flow capacity. In some cases, the uncontrolled grading of land has obliterated or severely modified the natural channels to the extent that their flow capacity has been seriously limited. Flooding has been a serious problem in the Clovis/Fresno metropolitan area when these channel capacities are exceeded.

The flat slope characteristics in Clovis that exhibit natural slopes of less than .001 feet per foot can make the control of drainage runoff difficult and many natural depressions within the flat topography naturally collect and pond stormwater runoff. Nevertheless, the soils within or relatively near the stream courses tend to be the loamy, well-drained soils with high permeability.

The major sources of flooding include areas along the Pup Creek alignment from the northeasterly portion of Clovis through the center of the City of Clovis. Most of this flooding is confined to the areas in and around the Pup Creek channel. Pup Creek enters the northeastern portion of the City of Clovis near the intersection of Armstrong and East Bullard avenues. Most flood flows enter a culvert at Minnewawa Avenue, north of Barstow Avenue, and are conveyed to Dry Creek in the vicinity of North Helm and Mitchell Avenues. Dry Creek enters the northwestern portion of the City of Clovis near the intersection of the Union Pacific Railroad and Herndon Avenue. The creek flows out of the City at the southwestern corporate limits just south of the intersection of Shaw and Winery avenues.

Other areas of flooding are related to the Alluvial Drain area, the Big Dry Creek Reservoir and its possible overflow areas, along the Dog Creek channel alignment, and in low depressed areas along the easterly sides of the Enterprise Canal. Small areas of localized flooding occur in the southeastern part of the City during periods of moderate rainfall or heavy cloudburst storms. There are also a number of ponding areas in the City:

 The ponding area at the northern corporate limits of the City of Clovis, east of Dry Creek and north of the trail, is caused by the limited channel capacity of Dry Creek from the vicinity of Herndon Avenue to the vicinity of Nees Avenue outside the corporate limits of the City of Clovis.  The ponding area along Pup Creek between Minnewawa and Peach avenues is caused by excessive overland losses from Dry Creek and limited culvert capacity for Pup Creek at Minnewawa Avenue.
 The ponding area south of Pup Creek and east of the trail between Jefferson and Barstow avenues is caused by excessive overbank losses on Pup Creek crossing back over the trail and from a local drainage problem east of Brookhaven Avenue.

Flood protection in Clovis is afforded by Big Dry Creek Dam on Dry Creek. Big Dry Creek Dam is located immediately upstream of the City of Clovis. Its main purpose is flood control, and it has a storage capacity of 16,250 acre-feet. The 2018 plan update mentioned that Big Dry Creek Reservoir has prevented an estimated $15 million in damage in the Fresno-Clovis area since its completion in 1948.

Even with significant investment in planning/mitigation and water management through Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District, portions of the City of Clovis, the Sphere of Influence areas, and the unincorporated Fresno County area, have been subject to historical flooding. Flooding occurred in January 2023 (CDAA-2023-1), January 2006 (CDAA-2006-01), and March 2006 (CDAA-2006-03). The combined impact of these storms left Clovis with $110,300 in damage that was reimbursable since Fresno County received state declarations for the storms. In all instances, there were periods when intersections were closed due to flooding and customers could not reach businesses.

According to FEMA’s 2016 Flood Insurance Study (FIS), damaging floods also occurred in the area in 1938, 1955, 1958, 1969, and 1978. Details on some of these events follow:

 December 1955: Pup Creek overflowed and flooded more than 20 homes in the vicinity of Clovis Avenue and Ninth Street. Floodwater two feet deep in some places blocked streets and disrupted traffic.
 March 1958: Pup Creek overflowed and flooded areas along Ninth Street. Floodwater was up to three feet deep, but damage was limited to streets, external residential improvements, and disruption of traffic.
 January-February 1969: Creeks and canals in the area overflowed and inundated agricultural land, residential property, and streets and roads. Many homes were evacuated, and others protected by sandbags. Traffic was disrupted by flooded streets and roads. Dry Creek and tributaries flooded approximately 1,400 acres and caused an estimated $329,000 in damage below Big Dry Creek Reservoir.
 February 1978: Pup Creek overflowed. Residential property was inundated, homes were evacuated, roads and streets were closed, and traffic was disrupted. The recurrence interval of this flood was 74 years.

The 2016 FIS also notes problems of localized flooding in the City of Clovis. Localized flooding primarily occurs in areas east of Clovis Avenue and south of Shaw Avenue in addition to an area south of Keats Avenue and an area south of Celeste Street. In each of these locations, flooding is common following moderate rainfall or heavy cloudburst storms.

Since the County’s latest FIRM update in 2016, a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) will be effective May 20, 2024, north of the McFarlane
4Ditch. The LOMR states that Zone A (from the intersection of North Highland Avenue and East Ashlan Avenue to approximately 600 feet southeast of the intersection of North Highland Avenue and East Ashlan Avenue) will be rezoned to Zone X (unshaded).

Recent flood events are described in more detail below

 2005-2006: Above average rainfall occurred between December 19, 2005, and January 1, 2006.

This resulted in flooding of low-lying areas throughout the County. Flood control basins were overflowing in several areas, including the Cities of Fresno and Clovis. Property damage included damage to approximately 180 businesses and homes estimated at $1.4 million within the unincorporated County. Damage to other jurisdictions was estimated at $611,307. Damage to crops was minimal due to the time of year. Flooding further resulted in several road closures, which were one to two weeks in duration.
 November 30, 2011: Fresno set record high minimum temperatures on the last day of the month, establishing the total record for the sixth warmest November. This was also the fourth consecutive month that Fresno ranked in the top 10 warmest months. Fresno had a record rainfall on November 30th of 0.62 inch; the old record was 0.50 inch. As a result of the heavy rainfall, some rock and mud slides occurred as the moisture weakened the soil. Law enforcement reported a rock and mud slide on Highway 168 about 15 miles northeast of Clovis, which closed the road for several hours while authorities cleaned up the debris.
 June 2021: A water main break caused flooding in the Clovis residential area near Shepherd and Peach Avenues and Shepherd and Minnewawa Avenues.
 January 2023: Stretches of intense rainfall over January 2023 resulted in considerable flooding in the City of Clovis. Flooding along the Dry Creek Trail in Clovis was significant, with nearby yards and basements flooded.

Based on this analysis, the City of Clovis has significant assets at risk of 100-year and greater floods.

There are 1,028 parcels that are within the flood hazard area which includes the 100-year floodplain with a total assessed value of $2,638,652,708. Additionally, there are a total of 7,296 buildings in the 100-year and 500-year floodplain. Figure 8. City of Clovis Properties at Risk Within the Flood Hazard Areas shows the properties at risk to flooding in and around the City of Clovis in relation to the mapped floodplain.

Limitations: This model may include structures in the floodplains that are elevated at or above the level of the base-flood elevation, which will likely mitigate flood damage. Also, the assessed values are well below the actual market values. Thus, the actual value of assets at risk may be significantly higher than those included herein.

POPULATION AT RISK
For the population estimates, two analyses were completed: weighted and unweighted. For the weighted population analysis, the percentage area of each of the flood zones were identified for each of the census tracts then multiplied this percent by the total population for the census tract.

Note: Population is not evenly distributed within the census tract, however the analysis was conducted to provide a perspective of an estimated population at risk of flooding.

The unweighted analysis calculated the total population for any census tract that intersected any of the flood zones, including the 100-year and 500-year floodplain. The following are at risk to flooding in the City of Clovis:

Weighted Analysis
 100-year flood - 640 people
 500-year flood - 11,704 people

Unweighted Analysis
 100-year flood – 19,334 people
 500-year flood – 42,472 people

Generally, within the United States, communities disproportionately at risk of flooding impacts and damage are communities placed in low-lying areas due to social and economic inequities, especially in urban settings. For example, these communities may not have ease of access to shelters during a flood event which can further increase vulnerability based on factors such as age, disability, and access to transportation.5

INSURANCE COVERAGE, CLAIMS PAID, AND REPETITIVE LOSSES
The City of Clovis joined the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) on March 16, 1983. NFIP Insurance data indicates that as of March 19, 2024, there were 171 flood insurance policies in force in the City with $110,455 of total premium or total paid.

There have been 49 historical claims for flood losses totaling $424,668. According to the FEMA Community Information System accessed 3/19/2024, there is one severe repetitive loss property within the City of Clovis which is a single-family home.

CRITICAL FACILITIES AT RISK
Critical facilities are those community components that are most needed to withstand the impacts of disaster as previously described. Currently, there are no critical facilities that are within the 100-year and 500-year floodplain. All identified critical facilities were confirmed with the jurisdiction.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INCIDENT (HIGH)
Hazardous materials likely to be involved in a spill or release within the City include herbicides, pesticides, chemicals in gas, liquid, solid, or slurry form; flammables; explosives; petroleum products; toxic wastes; and radioactive substances. The County Health Department is the designated administering agency for the Fresno County area hazardous material monitoring program. There are two CalARP hazardous materials facilities located in the City of Clovis. Additionally, there have been 2 hazardous materials incidents from 2017-2022 that have occurred in the City of Clovis. Of the 2 incidents, both were fixed incidents. There were no injuries, fatalities, or property damage during the time period.

SEVERE WEATHER: EXTREME COLD/FREEZE (MEDIUM)
Figure A.7 below illustrates the average temperature by month. From the information below, one can see that December and January have the greatest potential for extreme cold/freeze. In Clovis, it is not uncommon to have consecutive days with a minimum overnight low temperature of 32°F. Clovis has been impacted by severe freezing in winters past. Most notable were the freeze of 1997/98 and 2006/2007. Severe cold/freeze declarations occurred in 1990, 1998, and 2001. These incidents impacted local agriculture and City infrastructure. Estimated agricultural losses in 2006/2007 totaled $1 million with another $10,000 in damage to infrastructure.

Since records started in 1887, there have been 16 instances in Fresno of a low temperature of 20 degrees or lower. 7
During the January 2007 freeze (CDAA 2007-02), Clovis experienced 19 days of consecutive low temperatures at or below 32°F. In response, Clovis coordinated the resources and staff necessary to establish a warming station at the Clovis Senior Center. Public safety personnel continually monitored calls for service related to vulnerable populations, such as the homeless and seniors who might have needed these services. In addition, fire prevention staff checked on mobile home residents during their normal smoke alarm check/installs. Fortunately, Clovis residents were prepared, and the City did not have to open a warming center.

School facilities incurred $55,000 in damage. In the urban area, there was some damage to wells, and some small businesses reported leaky/broken sprinkler pipes. City damage reimbursable through the state declaration totaled $9,373. Agricultural losses were greatest in the citrus growing and packaging industry. Local growers/packers included P&R Farms and Harlan Ranch. Since P&R Farms primarily handles stone fruit (i.e., peaches, apricots), impact to their crops was minimal. Harlan Ranch suffered 100 percent crop loss due to the fact that their primary commodity was citrus, and they had planted over 100 new acres of trees. At last check, their crop loss was $2.5 million. While some oranges were juiced, Harlan Ranch representatives said the juice market was break-even at best.

SEVERE WEATHER: EXTREME HEAT (MEDIUM)
The following data support the City of Clovis’ decision to rate extreme heat a medium significance hazard (higher than the overall County rating). In 2006 and 2007, Clovis experienced heat waves that exceeded 24 days. While no direct loss of livestock was reported, the City staffed cooling centers to protect vulnerable populations, and there were several power outages that rotated through the area.

Recently, since the plan update, there have been many extreme heat events. According to the NOAA Storm Events Database, the extreme heat event that occurred on August 14, 2020, caused $4,000,000 in property damage. Figure 9. Fresno Yosemite International, CA - Daily Temperature Data.

As the data above shows, a high temperature of 113 degrees or higher has only occurred in the Fresno area 16 times since records began in 1887. 8
In response to extreme heat events in 2007, the City implemented Phase II of the City’s Heat Emergency Plan, which entailed opening facilities and using volunteer staff from 12–10 p.m. to provide cooling for individuals impacted by the heat. The cost to provide this level of service was negligible since the facility used was already open and volunteers staffed the center. While few people sought relief, the most significant benefit was from volunteers checking the welfare of vulnerable seniors who rely on swamp coolers for cooling and who cannot always determine their physiological need for hydration. For the summer, Phase II of the plan was activated seven times. Over 20 individuals sought refuge in the center, and volunteers placed over 183 personal welfare calls to the medically fragile. In Clovis, there was no loss of human or livestock life.

In recent years, due to extreme heat events, the City has opened cooling shelters several times to provide its residents relief from extreme heat exposure.

WILDFIRE (MEDIUM)
The Wildfire Hazard Severity Zone is mostly outside of jurisdictional boundaries, except for a small area off of Aubery Road which encompasses the Clovis Landfill, shown in Figure 10. City of Clovis Wildfire Hazard Severity Zone. The Wildfire Hazard Severity Zone is categorized as “Moderate” under the State Responsibility Area (SRA). SRA is a legal term defining the area where the state has financial responsibility for wildland fire protection and prevention. Incorporated cities and federal ownership are not included. Within the SRA, CAL FIRE is responsible for fire prevention and suppression. There are more than 31 million acres in SRA, with an estimated 1.7 million people and 800,000 existing homes. 9 There have been no known fires that have occurred in the past several years.

According to Table 13. City of Clovis Buildings at Risk of Wildfires, there is one building within the Moderate Interface Zone and one building “not within the Wildfire Urban Interface (WUI) zone”.

CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT
Capabilities are the programs and policies currently in use to reduce hazard impacts or that could be used to implement hazard mitigation activities. This capabilities assessment is divided into five sections: regulatory mitigation capabilities, administrative and technical mitigation capabilities, fiscal mitigation capabilities, and planning mitigation capabilities. Each jurisdiction filled out a worksheet to assess the four capabilities listed above. The results of the self-assessment the jurisdictions filled out were used to update this section of the plan. To develop this capability assessment, the jurisdictional planning representatives reviewed policies, plans, or programs that supported mitigation activities and reduced overall risk.

During the plan update process, the Witt O’ Brien’s consultant team reviewed the self-assessments to update information where applicable and note ways in which these capabilities have improved or expanded. Additionally, in summarizing current capabilities and identifying gaps, the jurisdictional planning representatives also considered their ability to expand or improve upon existing policies and programs as potential new mitigation strategies. The City of Clovis’ updated capabilities are summarized below. A summary of the mitigation capabilities is summarized in Table 14. City of Clovis Mitigation Capability Summary. Overall, the City of Clovis assessed their capabilities to be moderate or high which can significantly reduce their overall risk to hazards based on certain policies, plans, and activities that the city is involved in.

consists of water, wastewater, storm drainage/flood control, and solid waste systems. The Development Review Committee process includes representation from FMFCD and FID which provides clear communication on project citing and mitigation as part of the planning process for new facilities. It does include hazard-related policies to provide effective storm drainage facilities for planned development by maintaining agreement with the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District to reduce the effect that development has on natural watercourses and to ensure that adequate water supply can be provided through water reuse and water conservation.

CLOVIS MUNICIPAL CODE
The following ordinances are used for implementing the general plan and/or are critical to the mitigation of hazards identified in this plan.

ZONING ORDINANCE (TITLE 9—CHAPTER 9.08)
The purpose of the Zoning Ordinance is to encourage, classify, designate, regulate, restrict, and segregate the highest and best locations for, and uses of, buildings, structures, and land for agriculture, residence, commerce, trade, industry, water conservation, or other purposes in appropriate places; to regulate and limit the height, number of stories, and size of buildings and other structures hereafter designed, erected, or altered; to regulate and determine the size of yards and other open spaces; and to regulate and limit the density of population, and for such purposes to divide the City into districts of such number, shape, and area as may be deemed best suited to provide for their enforcement. Further, the Zoning Ordinance addresses the following:

 Most appropriate uses of land
 Conservation and stabilization of property values
 Provision of adequate open space for light and air and to prevent and fight fires  Prevention of undue concentration of population
 Lessening of congestion of streets
 Facilitation of adequate provision of community utilities, such as transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks, and other public requirements
 Promotion of the public health, safety, and general welfare

SITE PLAN ORDINANCE (TITLE 9—CHAPTER 9.56)
The site plan review is performed by the Clovis Planning and Development Services Department.

During the review, the owner of a parcel is required to submit a plan to scale demonstrating all of the uses for a specific parcel of land. This review ensures compliance with applicable law and the zoning requirements within the City.

61 AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.

Annex A: City of Clovis
2024 Fresno County Hazard Mitigation Plan
May 2024 44
SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE (TITLE 9—CHAPTER 9.100)
The Subdivision Ordinance specifically provides for proper grading and erosion control and prevention of sedimentation or damage to off-site property. Each local agency may by ordinance regulate and control other subdivisions, provided that the regulations are not more restrictive than the regulations commencing in California Government Code Section 66410.

Erosion or Sediment Control Program (Title 9—Chapter 9.2.309) Every map approved pursuant to the provisions of the Subdivisions Ordinance are conditioned on compliance with the requirements for grading and erosion control, including the prevention of sedimentation or damage to off-site property, set forth in Appendix Chapter 70 of the California Building Code, as adopted and amended by the City.

FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT (TITLE 8—CHAPTER 8.12)
Flood losses are caused by uses that are inadequately elevated, floodproofed, or protected from flood damage. The cumulative effect of obstructions in areas of special flood hazards that increase flood heights and velocities also contribute to flood loss. It is the purpose of the Flood Hazard Ordinance to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed to:

 Protect human life and health.
 Minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects.  Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the general public.
 Minimize prolonged business interruptions.
 Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains; electric, telephone, and sewer lines; and streets and bridges located in areas of special flood hazard.  Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of areas of special flood hazard so as to minimize future blighted areas caused by flood damage.  Ensure that potential buyers are notified that property is in an area of special flood hazard.  Ensure that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazard assume responsibility for their actions.

In order to reduce flood losses, the ordinance includes methods and provisions to:

 Restrict or prohibit uses which are dangerous to health, safety, and property due to water or erosion hazards, or which result in damaging increases in erosion or flood heights or velocities;  Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction; 62 AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.

Annex A: City of Clovis
2024 Fresno County Hazard Mitigation Plan
May 2024 45
 Control the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels, and natural protective barriers, which help accommodate or channel floodwaters;
 Control filling, grading, dredging, and other development which may increase flood damage; and  Prevent or regulate the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert floodwaters or which may increase flood hazards in other areas.

EMERGENCY SERVICES ORDINANCE (TITLE 4—CHAPTER 4.2)
The declared purposes of the Emergency Services Ordinance are to provide for the preparation and carrying out of plans for the protection of persons and property within the City in the event of an emergency; the direction of the emergency organization; and the coordination of the emergency functions of the City with all other public agencies, corporations, organizations, and affected private persons.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (EMERGENCY FLOOD CONTROL
PROCEDURES 2007- 2008)
The City’s Public Utilities Department has three Stormwater Patrol teams, made up of 22 public utilities employees, to implement emergency flood control measures. The plan contains information and procedures to rapidly address flooding throughout the City. Contact information and team assignment data is updated regularly as are geographic locations subject to flooding. Appendices include suppliers/contractors, storm basin list, problem drain lists, and partnerships and agencies with shared responsibility for storm preparedness, mitigation, and response.

FIVE-YEAR COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM
The Five-Year Community Investment Program (CIP) represents an effort to identify major capital needs and schedule projects consistent with community priorities and available funding. A major portion of the funding for these projects comes from development fees. Projects identified in the CIP are broken down as follows:

 General Government Facilities: The capital projects for the General Government Facilities program consist of acquisition of new facilities, improvement to existing facilities, and maintenance of existing improvements required by City departments to enable them to adequately carry out their mission.
 Sewer Capital Projects: The Enterprise budget includes projects that will repair and/or replace existing sanitary sewer mains that are severely deteriorated or are not adequately sized for the flows being experienced. The Developer budget includes the debt service payments for the 2007 Sewer Revenue Bond for the Sewage Treatment and Water Reuse Facility.  Parks Improvements: These primarily consist of master planning and design and construction of park improvements. Community park improvements are funded by development fees and state 63 AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.

Annex A: City of Clovis
2024 Fresno County Hazard Mitigation Plan
May 2024 46
grants when available. Neighborhood parks are installed by development. Park fees are paid by all new developments constructed within the City of Clovis.  Street Improvements: These include traffic signal installation, street repair and improvement, sidewalk installation/modification, and design work throughout the City.  Water: This includes projects that will continue to improve the water distribution system, and improve water quality through the addition of treatment facilities at existing wells, and increase the reliability of the water supply by the addition of auxiliary power generators.  Refuse: This includes regulatory design and maintenance of City-owned landfill and associated projects.
 Clovis Community Development Agency: This focuses on projects that provide affordable housing in the community and on encouraging and enhancing the business environment of Clovis.  Police/Fire: This addresses facility design and maintenance for satellite locations and main headquarters.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY, 2014
On July 14, 2014, the City Council adopted an updated Economic Development Strategy, developed by the City’s Economic Development Strategy Advisory Committee (EDSAC) and based on presentations from experts regarding perspectives on current markets, the regulatory environment, access to capital, characteristics of the local labor force, public incentive programs, and the local commercial and industrial real estate market.

The City of Clovis adopted the initial Economic Development Strategy in March 1998. The 1998 strategy included a mission statement as well as goals and objectives for three individual strategies:

Industrial Development, Commercial Development, and Tourism. The City of Clovis believes that these three individual strategies make up the basis for a well-rounded economic development program. If progress is made in the implementation of the stated goals and objectives in each of these strategies, the City will be better able to create the wealth necessary to provide municipal services to Clovis residents and businesses.

CITY OF CLOVIS EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
The City of Clovis Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) Basic Plan addresses the planned response for the City of Clovis to emergencies associated with disasters, technological incidents, or other dangerous conditions created by either man or nature. It provides an overview of operational concepts, identifies components of the City emergency management organization, and describes the overall responsibilities of local, state, and federal entities. The City will place emphasis on emergency planning; training of full- time, auxiliary, and reserve personnel; public awareness and education; and assuring the adequacy and availability of sufficient resources to cope with emergencies. Emphasis will also be placed on mitigation measures to reduce losses from disasters, including the development and enforcement of appropriate land use, design, and construction regulations.

The EOP’s section on hazard mitigation establishes actions, policies, and procedures for implementing Section 409 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act following a presidentially declared emergency or major disaster. It also assigns hazard mitigation responsibilities to various elements of federal, state, and local governments in California.

HEAT EMERGENCY CONTINGENCY PLAN
The Heat Emergency Contingency Plan describes City operations during heat-related emergencies and provides guidance for City departments and personnel. It recognizes the need to communicate and coordinate with local agencies and mobilize and initiate actions in advance of local requests and supports local actions according to the Standardized Emergency Management System and the National Incident Management System. The plan’s goal is to reduce the incidence of morbidity and mortality associated with local extreme heat events.

URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Clovis proactively manages water supplies and has policies in place to effectively deliver water to local residents. In order to appropriately manage water resources within Clovis, the City updated its Urban Water Management Plan in 2020 in coordination with the City of Fresno, County of Fresno, Fresno Irrigation District, and Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control district. The City of Clovis utilizes many water management tools and options to maximize water resources and minimize the need to import water.

The City of Clovis is participating with other local agencies in the North Kings Groundwater Sustainability Agency (NKGSA). Over the next few years the Agency will be developing a plan that will guide the area in providing groundwater sustainability.

CLOVIS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
The Clovis Unified School District is a K-12 public school system that serves the Cities of Clovis and Fresno, some unincorporated areas of Fresno County, and the rural community of Friant. It covers approximately 198 square miles and has a student population of nearly 38,000. The overall goal of the Clovis Unified School District Hazard Mitigation Plan is to reduce or prevent injury and damage from natural hazards in the District by addressing the hazards that present the greatest risk to the District, its students, staff, facilities, infrastructure, properties, and the natural environment. The plan examines past events and hazard mitigation programs already in place and prioritizes additional mitigation activities for the District. Planning goals include facilitating the integration of City and County hazard mitigation planning activities into District efforts.

OTHER MITIGATION EFFORTS
The fire department is accredited through the Commission on Fire Accreditation International, which is part of the Center for Public Safety Excellence. Additionally, the City is recognized by the National Weather Service as a StormReady Community.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENHANCEMENT
Based on the capabilities assessment, the City of Clovis has several existing mechanisms in place that already help to mitigate hazards. These capabilities remain relevant as the priorities set forth in the prior hazard mitigation plan are unchanged. In addition to these existing capabilities, there are also opportunities for the City to expand or improve on these policies and programs to further protect the community. Future improvements may include providing training for staff members related to hazards or hazard mitigation grant funding in partnership with the County and Cal OES. Additional training opportunities will help to inform City staff members on how best to integrate hazard information and mitigation projects into their departments. Continuing to train City staff on mitigation and the hazards that pose a risk to the City of Clovis will lead to more informed staff members who can better communicate this information to the public.

MITIGATION STRATEGY

MITIGATION GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The City of Clovis adopts the hazard mitigation goals and objectives developed by the HMPC and described in Chapter 5 Mitigation Strategy.

INCORPORATION INTO EXISTING PLANNING MECHANISMS
The information contained within this plan, including results from the Vulnerability Assessment, and the Mitigation Strategy will be used by the City to help inform updates and the development of local plans, programs and policies. The Engineering Division may utilize the hazard information when implementing the City’s Community Investment Program and the Planning and Building Divisions may utilize the hazard information when reviewing a site plan or other type of development applications. The City will also incorporate this LHMP into the Safety Element of their General Plan, as recommended by Assembly Bill (AB) 2140.

As noted in Chapter 7 Plan Implementation, the HMPC representatives from Clovis will report on efforts to integrate the hazard mitigation plan into local plans, programs and policies and will report on these efforts at the annual HMPC plan review meeting. The previous plan was integrated into the city’s Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), Emergency Operations Center (EOC) workflow, and noted within the Safety Element of our General Plan.

CONTINUED COMPLIANCE WITH THE NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM The City has been an NFIP participating community since 1983. In addition to the mitigation actions identified herein the City will continue to comply with the NFIP. This includes ongoing activities such as enforcing local floodplain development regulations, including issuing permits for appropriate development in Special Flood Hazard Areas and ensuring that this development mitigated in accordance with the regulations. This will also include periodic reviews of the floodplain ordinance to ensure that it is clear and up to date and reflects new or revised flood hazard mapping.

COMPLETED 2009 MITIGATION ACTIONS
The City of Clovis completed nine mitigations actions identified in the 2009 plan. These completed actions are as follows:

 Establish Post-Disaster Action Plan for City Continuity of Operations Plan  Train and Certify City Inspectors to Conduct Post-Disaster Damage Assessment  Implement a System of Automatic Vehicle Location
 Install Battery Back-Up Systems at Traffic Signals in the City of Clovis on Major Transportation Routes
70 AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.

72 AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.

Annex A: City of Clovis
2024 Fresno County Hazard Mitigation Plan
May 2024 55

1. CONSTRUCT A WATER INTERTIE BETWEEN THE CITIES OF CLOVIS AND FRESNO

Hazard(s) Addressed: Multi-Hazard: dam failure, drought, earthquake, flood, severe weather, wildfire, hazardous materials
Issue/Background: The City of Clovis operates a water system that serves over 95,000 residents.

During rolling power blackouts or earthquakes or due to potential contamination of the water supply, there is a need to have a backup supply of potable water available. The City has an agreement with the City of Fresno to construct an intertie between the two water systems to act as an emergency backup.

Other Alternatives: The City has backup power at many of its facilities but not all of them. Additionally, backup power will not help if the issue is unrelated to a power blackout.

Responsible Office: City of Clovis Public Utilities Department Water Division Priority (High, Medium, Low): High
Cost Estimate: $890,000
Potential Funding: City of Clovis Water Enterprise Fund Benefits (Avoided Losses): This will prevent the loss of human life, illness, customer confidence, and revenue.

Schedule: Estimated completion in 2038
Status: 2009 project, implementation in progress

2. MODERNIZE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY BACKUP INFRASTRUCTURE

Hazard(s) Addressed: Multi-Hazard: dam failure, earthquake, flood, severe weather, wildfire, volcano, hazardous materials
Issue/Background: During the last emergency operations center exercise, it became evident that many of the technology systems needed to coordinate services during a disaster were limited or not available at all. Personal computer systems were out of date, the telecommunications system and phones were not properly functioning, and many resources (software applications) were not configured or available. The City could benefit from disaster recovery/business continuity technology systems that use virtualization and storage area network backup infrastructure systems for emergency operations center operations.

Other Alternatives: Tapes and backup systems that are not real time are not as reliable and cause delays in data restoration.

Responsible Office: City of Clovis Information Services Division Priority (High, Medium, Low): High
Cost Estimate: $100,000
Potential Funding: General fund
73 AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.

Annex A: City of Clovis
2024 Fresno County Hazard Mitigation Plan
May 2024 56
Benefits (Avoided Losses): Ensures business continuity and avoids downtime. Thus, speeds up relief efforts during a disaster.

Schedule: Estimated completion in 2038
Status: 2009 project, implementation in progress

3. IMPROVE THE CITY’S CAPABILITIES FOR SHELTERING ANIMALS IN A DISASTER

Hazard(s) Addressed: Multi-Hazard: dam failure, flood, wildfire, hazardous materials Issue/Background: During a disaster, not only do people need to be rescued, but their pets do also.

Hurricane Katrina showed the nation that shelters do not typically allow pets, so pets may be left behind when their owners evacuate. The care of the animals left behind falls to local animal shelters. Currently, the City of Clovis Animal Shelter does not have the supplies to handle a large scale animal emergency.

The City has approximately 8,000 licensed dogs. If a disaster occurred, they would only be able to house 102 of them. Overcrowding of animals usually causes diseases and loss of animal life.

Purchasing new cages would alleviate some of the overcrowding created by a disaster.

Other Alternatives: Ask other agencies for supplies, if they have them available.

Responsible Office: City of Clovis Police Department
Priority (High, Medium, Low): High
Cost Estimate: $44,000
Potential Funding: General fund
Benefits (Avoided Losses): This will cut down on the spread of disease and animal loss during an emergency or disaster.

Schedule: Estimate completion in 2038
Status: 2009 project, implementation in progress

4. PURCHASE HAZARD MITIGATION PUBLIC NOTIFICATION BOARDS

Hazard(s) Addressed: Multi-Hazard: dam failure, flood, wildfire, hazardous materials Issue/Background: Purchase mobile self-contained changeable message signs to pre-alert motorists to avoid a “real time” traffic (or other) hazard.

Other Alternatives: Rely on contract service providers who may not be able to respond with adequate resources in a timely fashion.

Responsible Office: City of Clovis Engineering Division Traffic Management Group, Public Utilities Department Streets Division, Police Department, and Fire Department Priority (High, Medium, Low): High
Cost Estimate: 4 signs @ $35,000 each = $140,000
74 AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.

Annex A: City of Clovis
2024 Fresno County Hazard Mitigation Plan
May 2024 57
Potential Funding: General Fund
Benefits (Avoided Losses): Provides the ability for City forces to aid emergency response crews by dispatching mobile sign units to be stationed at critical locations to alert motorists and citizens of potential hazard areas. This will allow for better routing of nonessential vehicle traffic that may impede the delivery of critical health and safety services and ultimately result in quicker overall response delivery times.

Schedule: Estimate completion in 2038
Status: 2009 project, implementation not yet started

5. IMPROVE EMERGENCY EVACUATION AND EMERGENCY VEHICLE ROUTES

Hazard(s) Addressed: Multi-Hazard: dam failure, flood, wildfire, hazardous materials Issue/Background: Currently, there are several street segments within the City of Clovis that could serve as evacuation routes or detour routes in the event of a disaster. These segments are currently deficient in terms of traffic carrying capacity and serviceability. Improvements to these routes would provide the additional pavement width necessary to provide increased flexibility and capacity in routing traffic and emergency vehicles. Routes include:

• Shepherd Avenue from Clovis to Fowler (1 mile)
• Nees Avenue from Clovis to Armstrong (1.6 miles)
• Alluvial Avenue from Sunnyside to Temperance (1.25 miles) • Sunnyside Avenue from Nees to Shepherd (1 mile)

Other Alternatives: No action. Existing road segments would remain constricted, impeding evacuation expediency and limiting detour alternatives.

Responsible Office: City of Clovis Public Utilities Department—Long-term Maintenance, City of Clovis Engineering Department—Construction
Priority (High, Medium, Low): High
Cost Estimate: $7,500,000
Potential Funding: General Fund
Benefits (Avoided Losses): Improved traffic flow and increased flexibility in moving traffic and emergency vehicles during a disaster
Schedule: Estimate completion in 2038
Status: 2009 project, awaiting funding and annexation

FACILITIES

Hazard(s) Addressed: earthquake
Issue/Background: The City is interested in performing a building-specific, seismic vulnerability assessment of City-owned critical facilities constructed prior to 1980 (including infrastructure). Included in this assessment will be recommended mitigation alternatives that meet goals and objectives of this plan.

Other Alternatives: No action
Responsible Office: City of Clovis Planning and Development Services—Building Priority (High, Medium, Low): Medium
Cost Estimate: $200,000.

Potential Funding: General Fund
Benefits (Avoided Losses): This will prevent the loss of human life, economic loss, and property loss.

Schedule: Estimate completion in 2038
Status: 2009 project, awaiting funding

7. CONSTRUCT CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS FOR DOG CREEK STREAM, SOUTH OF

GETTYSBURG-ASHLAN

Hazard(s) Addressed: Flood
Issue/Background: Dog Creek has been identified in the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District’s (FMFCD) Rural Streams Program as a facility that needs master planned drainage improvements to adequately convey rural stream floodwaters. The FMFCD requires all development within rural stream areas to provide and construct the necessary channel improvements. The channel improvements required of Dog Creek include relocation/reconstruction of the existing channels geometry to allow a flow of 315 cubic feet per second to be passed. In order to meet this flow capacity, Dog Creek must have geometry of approximately 60 feet in width and 12 feet in depth.

Other Alternatives: No action
Responsible Office: City of Clovis Planning and Development Services Department, Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District
Priority (High, Medium, Low): High
Cost Estimate: $700,000
Potential Funding: California Department of Water Resources Grants and Loans, FMA Benefits (Avoided Losses): The project goals and objectives are to improve flood management of Dog Creek for future development, as planned for in the area, thus minimizing the potential of rural stream flows to flood urbanized areas. Development activity in the City of Clovis is managed through 76 AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.

the FMFCD for both urbanized development and rural stormwater flows. FMFCD policy does not allow for the mixing of urban and rural flows in the same channel.

Schedule: Estimate completion in 2038
Status: 2009 project, implementation in progress

8. IMPROVE FLOW DESIGN PARAMETERS FOR BIG DRY CREEK AND THE ENTERPRISE CANAL*

Hazard(s) Addressed: Flood
Issue/Background: In order to meet the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District’s flow design parameters for Big Dry Creek and the Enterprise Canal, the existing siphon at the confluence of the two waterways needs to be replaced with a similar type structure. The new structure will have enhanced flow measurement and control for both the Big Dry Creek and Enterprise Canal and would incorporate a walkway to accommodate a path along Big Dry Creek for the general public.

The primary purpose of the project is to provide for the long term integrity of the siphon to pass Big Dry Creek and Enterprise Canal flows. The existing structure on the Enterprise Canal (located beneath Dry Creek) was constructed in the early 1900s (estimated 1915). The replacement of this structure is essential to the reliable delivery of water over the long term. The existing structure consists of a box culvert with an integrally constructed weir. Material strength testing was conducted at the siphon, which included two concrete cores and rebar mapping of the top slab. This testing determined that the concrete compressive strength was a minimum of 4,300 pounds per square inch. Several large cracks were found in the center culvert wall approximately ¼ inch wide by 10 feet long. The cut-off wall located at the end of the apron extending from the weir structure had significant damage where rebar has been exposed and pieces of concrete have broken off.

11. INSTALL A SYSTEM OF SURFACE WATER HAZARD DETECTION

Hazard(s) Addressed: Hazardous materials
Issue/Background: The City operates a surface water treatment plant that supplies water to a community of over 95,000 people. The water is delivered to the plant via an open canal that travels approximately 30 miles from the source to the plant. There have been several incidents where items have been dumped into the canal, requiring the plant to shut down. The City is concerned that the dumping of hazardous chemicals could occur and, without some advance notification, that the chemicals could get through the treatment plant and into the distribution system, making customers sick. Equipment is available that can be installed upgradient from the plant that will sample the water, analyze the water on-site, and provide notification to the plant prior to it reaching the plant.

Other Alternatives: Continue patrolling the canal on a daily basis.

Responsible Office: City of Clovis Public Utilities Department Water Division Priority (High, Medium, Low): High
Cost Estimate: $100,000
Potential Funding: City of Clovis Water Operations Fund Benefits (Avoided Losses): This will prevent the loss of human life, illness, customer confidence, and revenue.

12. SUSTAINABLE GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT ACT COMPLIANCE INCLUDING

GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION

Hazard(s) Addressed: Drought
Issue/Background: The Kings subbasin underlays the City of Clovis and like many groundwater basins throughout the State, this subbasin is in overdraft condition with underground aquifers adversely impacted by overuse. Such impacts include significant decline in water storage and water levels, degradation of water quality, and land subsidence resulting in the permanent loss of storage capacity.

The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) provides for the establishment of local Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) to manage groundwater sustainability within groundwater subbasins defined by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). The City of Clovis has become a joint power authority of the North Kings Groundwater Sustainability Agency, other members 79 AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.

Annex A: City of Clovis
2024 Fresno County Hazard Mitigation Plan
May 2024 62
of the Agency include the County of Fresno, City of Kerman, City of Fresno Biola Community Services District, Garfield Water District and International Water District. As a member of the North Kings GSA, the City of Clovis is required to participate in the development and implementation, no later than January 31, 2020, of a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) to ensure a sustainable yield of groundwater, without causing undesirable results. Failure to comply with that requirement could result in the State asserting its power to manage local groundwater resources. Participation in the North Kings GSA and the implementation of a GSP will allow the City to maintain sustainable groundwater supplies while providing insurance against periods of long-term drought.

Other Alternatives: None, compliance required by law, failure to meet requirements will result in State intervention and oversight.

Responsible Office: City Engineer and North Kings GSA
Priority (High, Medium, Low): High
Cost Estimate: Varies by GSA for preparation of the required GSP. Further expenses are anticipated to be accrued for the planning and construction of groundwater recharge projects.

Potential Funding: Property owner assessments along with California Department of Water Resources Grants and Loans.

Benefits (Avoided Losses): Preparation and implementation of the GSP by the respective GSAs will result in the management of groundwater in a manner that is sustainable and avoids undesirable results as defined by the California State Department of Water Resources.

Schedule: GSAs must complete and submit the required GSP to DWR, which is to be fully implemented and result in sustainability of the groundwater basin, with no undesirable effects, by the year 2040.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Fire Department
DATE: September 15, 2025
SUBJECT: Fire – Approval - Various actions related to the purchase of two (2) Type 6 fire engines to be used as fire squad apparatus by the Fire Department:
a) Waive the City’s formal bidding requirements, b) Authorize the sole - source purchase of two (2) Boise Mobile Equipment (BME) Type 6 fire engines from Golden State Fire Apparatus in Sacramento, CA for $870,731.26, and c) Authorize the City Manager to sign the purchase agreements.

ATTACHMENTS: 1. Golden State Fire Apparatus Quote

RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to waive formal bidding requirements , and authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement to purchase two (2) BME Type 6 squad vehicles.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff requests the City Council approve the sole-source purchase of two (2) Type 6 Fire Engines manufactured by Boise Mobile Equipm ent for a total of $870,731.26 built per the Clovis Fire Department’s apparatus specifications. This purchase would be a new apparatus type to the Clovis Fire Department’s apparatus fleet, expanding our response capabilities and helping to reduce response times.

The purpose of the purchase is to institute fire squads again in the Fire Department, as identified in our 5-Year Plan previously presented and approved by City Council. The second apparatus would be utilized as a reserve apparatus when the front -line apparatus is out of service for repairs or maintenance and could be utilized to respond to wildland fire incidents. This apparatus will be utilized as an additional resource to reduce response times and assist in providing an effective response force throughout the City.

BACKGROUND
Clovis Fire Department currently staffs a fleet of fire engines and fire trucks. We have five (5) frontline Type 1 engines and one (1) frontline truck. Each frontline apparatus has a reserve apparatus to serve when the primary apparatus is out-of-service for maintenance or repair. This follows national standards for fire service fleets.
85 AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.

Our current fleet consists of full-size, heavy duty fire apparatus with large pump capacities and comprehensive emergency response capabilities. Their physical characte ristics limit maneuverability and off-road capabilities. The purchase of the Type 6 engines and institution of fire squads would allow for reduced response times due to better vehicle maneuverability. They would also introduce efficiency to our fleet and staffing model, as these vehicles are lighter and require less maintenance. Additionally, these vehicles would be staffed with a minimum of two (2) personnel as opposed to three (3) for Type 1 engines and trucks. The aim is to reduce response time standards, ensure adequate fire district coverage when a Type 1 Engine or Fire Truck is committed to another emergency incident, and improve the Department’s service delivery to the City of Clovis citizens.

The new apparatus would follow our standard for fleet replacement, which was adopted by the City of Clovis in the mid -1990’s and has been incorporated into the fire department’s accreditation plan that was approved by the Center for Public Safety Excellence. This standard is to use fire apparatus for ten years of front-line service and then place them in reserve for ten years for a total service life of twenty-years.

The fire squad will serve as an additional daily staffed apparatus with 2 personnel, operating out of the station with our highest historical call volume - Fire Station 2 in Southwest Clovis. This additional unit will assist with reducing our response times and providing an effective response force to fires and other large -scale emergencies. This fire squad will also respond to many emergencies that only require one fire apparatus in Fire Station 2’s service area, maintaining the availability of the Type 1 Engine for fires and other emergencies needing specialized equipment and a larger fire pump capacity.

The make and model of each apparatus is Boise Mobile Equipment - Ponderosa. Our apparatus committee has reviewed the mission of this apparatus and apparatus specifications and determined that the Ponderosa has adequate equipment storage, water storage, and pump capacity to complete the mission.

FISCAL IMPACT
Purchase via sole source is based on the characteristics of the apparatus. This sole source purchase provides for a single source of warranty work and parts ordering. The Fire Department has ordered vehicles through Golden State Fire Apparatus for many years and always receives excellent service. Purchasing these vehicles through Golden State Fire Apparatus will allow us to continue our current work processes for parts ordering and warranty work.

Total Purchase Price $870,731.26
86 AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.

The purchase price for these vehicles includes significant discounts based upon utilization of the Houston-Galveston Area Council (HGAC) Cooperative purchasing program. This cooperative purchasing program ensures that we are obtaining competitive pricing for fire apparatus, while maintaining the ability to order custom vehicles to meet the needs of our City.

HGAC is a cooperative purchasing program and procurement service. All contracts available through HGAC have been awarded through a competitive public procurement process compliant with state statutes. This cooperative purchasing program meets the criteria for competitively awarded purchasing and meets the City of Clovis Municipal Code and purchasing policy requirements. The City has utilized HGAC cons ortium pricing in the past, including for the purchase of our most recent Fire Engines in July 2025.

Delivery of these engines is expected to be 24 months after execution and acceptance of a contract or purchase order.

Funding for these purchases has been identified utilizing our current vehicle renewal accounts and Measure Y funding. One Type 6 Engine will be purchased with the vehicle renewal account.

The second Type 6 fire engine will be purchased utilizing Measure Y funds.

Due to the extended period of 24 months between ordering and receiving the vehicles, we are requesting approval to order the vehicles now and pay for them when they are delivered. The Fire Department will work with the Public Utilities Department and Finance Department to ensure funds are allocated properly to purchase the vehicles at delivery. At this time, there is no immediate fiscal impact as the funding sources have already been identified, but the payments will be made later.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
When these apparatuses are placed into service, they will assist the Fire Department in reducing response times, maintaining station area coverage when other fire apparatus are committed to emergency incidents, and assist in providing an effective response force throughout the City.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL

1. Finalize purchase contract with Golden State Fire Apparatus and order apparatus.

2. Upon delivery conduct an extensive apparatus acceptance test.

3. Order, receive, and mount all equipment on apparatus as needed.

4. Conduct an orientation of the apparatus before placing the unit in-service.

98 AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.
2 c. Prepayment Discount . If GSFA has granted Customer a Prepayment Discount, Customer must provide each associated prepayment (each, a “ Prepayment”) within the time frame specified in the Product Proposal in order to receive such discount. Custom er’s failure to timely make any Prepayment may result in: (i) GSFA’s termination of the Agreement; and/or (ii) Customer’s loss of the Prepayment Discount for the portion of the Grand Total Purchase Price represented by such outstanding Prepayment and the application of a late f ee as set forth in Section 6, in each case in GSFA’s sole discretion.

d. State Sales Tax . Customer shall be responsible for the cost of state sales tax associated with, or attributable to, the Product. The taxes stated in the Product Proposal are subject to adjustment for the applicable state sales tax rate in effect at the time of delivery. Therefore, the sales tax set forth on the Product Proposal is only an estimate of such taxes and will be increased or decreased at the time of d elivery if a change in the applicable sales tax rate has occurred, in which case Customer shall pay GSFA (or be refunded by GSFA) the difference in the applicable sales tax.

3. Product Completion Date . Within thirty (30) calendar days of the date on which the last required signatory executes the Product Proposal (such date, the “Executed Date”), GSFA shall submit to Customer a tentative Product completion date based on the then -estimated time to complete the manufacturing of the Product(s) and for the Product(s) to be ready for inspection and final approval by Customer at the manufacturing facility (which may differ from the Product completion estimate contained in the Product Proposal) . Due to global supply chain constraints, any Product completion date contained herein, or in the Product Proposal, or otherwise provided to Customer, is a good faith estimate only as of the date provided to Customer , and merely an approximation based on current information available to GSFA and Manufacturer . Customer shall not be entitled to rely on any such estimate, and GSFA shall have no liability to Customer for a failure by GSFA or Manufacturer to meet any such estimate. All Product completion estimates are subject to modification and, if applicable, GSFA will provide updates to such estimates to Customer when available.

4. Stock / Demo Units. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in the Agreement (including Section 12 hereof concerning warranties), any Products constituting stock/demo unit(s) are sold to Customer on an as-is, first-come and first-served basis and GSFA makes no further representation or warranty to any customer with respect to such unit(s). Regardless of the terms of the Product Proposal, GSFA shall only be obligated to sell such stock/demo unit(s) to the first customer to enter into a purchase agreement with GSFA identifying such unit(s), and after the execution by GSFA of such agreement any subsequent purchase agreement (including the Agreement, as applicable) shall have no further force or effect with respect to such unit(s).

5. Multiple Unit Purchase. If the Grand Total Purchase Price includes pricing for multiple Products, the Product price stated in the Product Proposal shall only be valid if the quantity of Products being proposed are purchased at the same time, pursuant to the same Agreement. GSFA shall have no obligation to offer the same price for any Product if purchased by Customer pursuant to a later purchase agreement.

6. Late Fee; Storage Fee. A late fee equal to 0.033% of the outstanding portion of the Grand Total Purchase Price will be charged per calendar day for overdue payments beginning ten (1 0) calendar days after the payment is due and continuing for the first thirty (30) calendar days thereafter. After such thirty (30) calendar day period , the late fee shall increase to 0.044% per calendar day until payment of the outstanding portion of the Grand Total Purchase Price is received; provided that if Customer is a public agency, the foregoing late fees shall not exceed the statutory limit set forth in Section 926.10 of the California Government Code . If Customer is unable to satisfy the delivery requirements hereunder or is unwilling to take delivery of the Product, then GSFA shall be entitled to a storage charge running from the earlier of: (i) the date of delivery agreed to between GSFA and Customer (provided GSFA is willing and able to deliver the Product on such date) , or (ii) twenty-one ( 21) calendar days after GSFA notifies Customer that the Product is available for delivery. The storage charge is equal to: (i) $175.00 per calendar day per apparatus stored, or (ii) the actual charges incurred by GSFA with a third party for storage of the Product, whichever is greater. Such storage charge shall continue until the actual time of d elivery and Customer’s possession of the Product, and any such storage by GSFA or such third party shall be at the sole risk of Customer.

99 AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.
3 7. Delivery; Inspection and Acceptance.

a. Delivery. Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Product is scheduled to be delivered to the location and within the time period specified in the Product Proposal . Such delivery date is an estimate, and GSFA is , notwithstanding this Section 7.a, not bound to such date unless it otherwise agrees in a separate writing to complete delivery by a date certain. For the avoidance of doubt, GSFA is not responsible for delivery delays caused by or because of actions, omissions or conduct of Customer, the Manufacturer, or their respective employees, affiliates, suppliers, contractors, and carriers. Risk of loss for the Product shall pass to Customer at the point and time of delivery (which shall include an attempted d elivery by GSFA which cannot be completed due to any act or omission of Customer) .

However, title to the Product shall only pass to Customer upon d elivery if Customer has then fully paid GSFA all amounts due hereunder (including additional amounts due under any valid Change Order). Absent GSFA’s separate written agreement, which it may or may not provide in its sole and absolute discretion, d elivery of the Product will not occur before Customer has fully paid all amounts due under the Agreement and provided proof of insurance reasonably satisfactory to GSFA. If GSFA permits Customer to take possession of the Product prior to such payment, Customer may not mount equipment, conduct training, or place the Product into service until all amounts due under the Agreement have been paid. If Customer has ordered multiple Products, GSFA reserves the right to deliver such Products in installments and to separately invoice Customer for such Products.

b. Inspection and Acceptance . Upon delivery, Customer shall have ten (10) calendar days within which to inspect the Product for substantial conformance to the Specifications, and in the event of substantial non- conformance to the Specifications to furnish GSFA with written notice sufficient to permit GSFA to evaluate such non-conformance (“ Notice of Nonconformance to Specifications ”). Contingent upon part availability and Customer’s cooperation, any Product not in substantial conformance to material Specifications shall be remedied by GSFA (by repair or replacement, at GSFA’s election) within thirty (30) calendar days from GSFA’s receipt of the Notice of Nonconformance to Specifications. In the event GSFA does not receive a Notice of Nonconformance to Specifications within ten (10) calendar days of d elivery, the Product will be deemed to be in conformance with Specifications and accepted by Customer.

8. Changes to Agreement Terms.

a. Change Orders . The Customer may request that GSFA incorporate a change to the Product or the Specifications for the Product, or GSFA may submit changes to the Agreement required or permitted to be made by GSFA (pursuant to Section 8.b or otherwise), by delivering a written Change Order to the other party hereto , which shall include a description of the proposed change sufficient to permit the receiving party to evaluate such change (either, a “Change Order”). For any Change Order submitted by Customer, GSFA will provide Customer a written response (a “Response”) stating (i) whether GSFA will accommodate such Change Order (which GSFA may decide in its sole and absolute discretion) ; and (ii) the terms of the modification to the order, including any increase or decrease in the Grand Total Purchase Price resulting from such Change Order, a date on which any increase in the Grand Total Purchase Price must be paid, and an estimate of any effect on production scheduling or delivery resulting from such Change Order. Customer shall have seven (7) calendar days after receipt of the Response to notify GSFA as to whether Customer desires to make the changes GSFA has approved in the Response. In the event Customer countersigns GSFA’s Response, Customer shall pay the increase (or be refunded the decrease) in the Grand Total Purchase Price by the date specified in the Response. GSFA may also send Customer a Change Order to account for any changes to the Agreement required or pe rmitted to be made by GSFA (including those changes required pursuant to Section 8.b hereof), and such Change Order shall be effective upon d elivery to Customer unless Customer elects to terminate the applicable Product order under the Agreement in accordance with Section 9.

b. Additional Changes.

i. Component Price Volatility ; Increases Imposed by Manufacturer . GSFA shall not be responsible for (i) any unforeseen price increase or surcharge enacted by suppliers of major components of the Product (including but not limited to commercial chassis, engine, transmission, and fire pump); or (ii) price increases imposed on GSFA by Manufacturer pursuant to Manufacturer’s terms and conditions for sale of the Product (a “Manufacturer 100
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.
4 Price Increase”), after Customer becomes bound by the Agreement . Customer shall be responsible for all amounts arising from a ny price increas es for major components of the P roduct (including all ass ociated taxes an d fees thereon) or any Manufacturer Price Increase s occurring after the execution of the Agreement which increase the cost of the Product to GSFA , and such amounts will be documented on a Change Order adjusting the Grand Total Purchase Price accordingly . Customer shall pay any such p rice increase prior to Product delivery. A Manufacturer Price Increase may include, but shall not be limited to, an increase in Product price resulting from an increase in the Producer Price Index of Components for Manufacturing (see www.bls.gov Series ID: WPUID6112) in excess of a compounded annual growth rate of five percent (5%), as measured between the month Manufacturer accepts the applicable Product order and the month that is fourteen (14) months prior to the then- current estimated Product completion date (the foregoing, a “ PPI-Based Price Increase”) . If, upon Customer’s receipt of a Change Order reflecting a PPI-Based Price Increase, Customer elects to terminate the applicable Product o rder in accordance with Section 8.b.iii rather than pay such increase, then in lieu of the cancellation fees described in Section 9.a hereof GSFA shall be entitled to recover and Customer shall pay GSFA’s actual non- reimbursable costs incurred in connection with the Product order through the date of Customer’s termination of such Product order.

ii. New Legal Standards. In the event the Product design, materials or specifications require an alteration arising from new regulations issued by any governmental entity or trade association, including, but not limited to, the NFPA, DOT, and EPA , and such alteration increases the cost of the Product to GSFA , Customer shall be responsible for changes to the Grand Total Purchase Price arising from such alteration. GSFA shall promptly notify Customer when it becomes aware of any potential or required change in regulations occurring prior to delivery that would impact the Product purchased.

iii. Change Orders. Customer shall execute any Change Order submitted by GSFA documenting any of the changes required or permitted by Sections 8.b.i and 8.b.ii above (which shall, to the extent practicable, itemize any increases in the Grant Total Purchase Price and specify a commercially reasonable date by which Customer must pay such increase), unless Customer instead elects to terminate the applicable Product order under the Agreement within fifteen (15 ) calendar days of Customer’s receipt of such Change Order and in accordance with Section 9.

Absent such a termination, failure or refusal to execute a Change Order does not alter Customer’s obligations under this Section 8.b.

c. Changes in Commercial Specifications . Specifications for all components of the Product manufactured by companies other than the Manufacturer are subject to change without notice. Specifications for such components will be as available at the time of manufacture of the Product. GSFA shall not be liable for any deviations in such specifications arising from a substitution of components or changes in the design of any component by their original manufacturer.

9. Termination.

a. By Customer. Customer may terminate a Product order identified in the Product Proposal o r a Change Order by providing written notice to GSFA in accordance with Section 16 hereof. If Customer elects to terminate a Product order, Customer shall pay GSFA a cancellation fee as follows: (a) after the Product order is accepted and entered by GSFA , 10% of the portion of the Grand Total Purchase Price applicable to such Product (including all associated taxes, fees and costs) (such amount, the “ Product Purchase Price ”); (b) after completion of the pre - construction phase of the order process , 20% of the Product Purchase Price ; and (c) after the requisition of any materials or commencement of any manufacturing or assembly of the Product by either GSFA or Manufacturer but before substantial completion of such Product, 50% of the Product Purchase Price. Customer shall not be permitted to terminate a Product order after substantial completion of manufacturing and assembly of such Product (excluding any Dealer Preparation or other pre -delivery services or untypical Product customization, if applicable).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the applicable tier of cancellation fee is not sufficient to cover all actual costs and fees incurred by GSFA with Manufacturer in connection with Customer’s termination of the Product order (“Manufacturer Termination Fees”), then in addition to such cancellation fee Customer shall pay the balance of all Manufacturer Termination Fees. If Customer received a Prepayment Discount, such discount shall not be considered for the purpose of calculating the above cancellation fee. The tier of cancellation fee applicable to any cancellation, 101
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.
5 as well as the determination of whether a Product has reached substantial completion, shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of GSFA. Customer may request a fee waiver, and GSFA, in its sole discretion, may agree to waive and/or adjust such fee . GSFA will return the balance of the Grand Total Purchase Price or Product Purchas e Price, as applicable, within thirty (30) calendar days of the effective date of the cancellation of the Product order or termination of the Agreement.

Customer may terminate the Agreement for an Event of Default by GSFA after providing GSFA with written notice in accordance with Section 16 (which notice shall describe with reasonably particularity the Event of Default justifying such termination ) if such Event of Default remains uncured (if capable of cure) thirty (30) days following GSFA’s receipt of such notice; provided, however, that the foregoing cure period shall continue if and for so long as GSFA has commenced and is continuing to undertake commercially reasonable efforts to cure such Event of Default as promptly as reasonably practicable.

b. By GSFA . GSFA may terminate the Agreement for an Event of Default by Customer after providing Customer with written notice in accordance with Section 16 (which notice shall describe with reasonably particularity the Event of Default justifying such termination) if such Event of Default remains uncured (if capable of cure) thirty (30) days following Customer’s receipt of such notice; provided, however, that the foregoing cure period shall continue if and for so long as Customer has commenced and is continuing to unde rtake commercially reasonable efforts to cure such Event of Default as promptly as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GSFA may terminate the Agreement effective immediately upon written notice to Customer for Customer’s failure to pay any amount owed under the Agreement when due .

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if Customer terminates a Product order in accordance with Section 9.a above, GSFA may elect to instead terminate the Agreement upon notice to Customer in accordance with Section 16 hereof. If GSFA terminates the Agreement in accordance with this Section 9 .b, Customer shall pay the applicable tier of cancellation fee for all Products pursuant to Section 9.a above as if Customer had elected to terminate each applicable Product order.

c. Based on Discontinuation or Cancellation by Manufacturer . In the event that Manufacturer cancels a Product order (provided that such cancellation is not the result of an act by Customer in violation of the Agreement) or discontinues the manufacture o f a Product prior to its completion and d elivery: (i) if such Product is the only Product contemplated under the Agreement, then the Agreement shall terminate; or (ii) if additional Products are contemplated under the Agreement, then only the Product order for the applicable cancelled or discontinued Product shall be terminated . Such Agreement termination or Product termination , as applicable, shall be effective upon GSFA’s written notice to Customer of such cancellation or discontinuance in accordance with Section 16 hereof.

GSFA’s only obligation to Customer in such event shall be the return of any Prepayment paid by Customer for the cancelled or di scontinued Product. For the avoidance of doubt, the cancellation fees contemplated in Section 9.a hereof shall not apply in the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 9.c .

10. Customer’s Obligations . Customer shall provide its timely and best efforts to cooperate with GSFA and Manufacturer during the Product manufacturing and Dealer Preparation process. Reasonable and timely cooperation includes, without limitation, Customer’s providing timely information in response to any requests from Manufacturer or GSFA and the participation of Customer’s authorized representatives in traveling to Manufacturer’s facility for inspections and approval of the Product , including a final approval before the Product leaves Manufacturer’s facility.

11. Representations and Warranties . Customer hereby represents and warrants to GSFA as of the Executed Date that the execution of the Agreement and the purchase of the Product(s) and performance of the other obligations of Customer under the Agreement have been approved by Customer in accordance with applicable general laws and, as applicable, Customer’s charter, ordinances , purchasing policies, and other governing documents, and executed by the appropriate Customer employees, officials, and/or representatives , and fundi ng for Customer’s performance of its obligations under the Agreement has been duly budgeted and appropriated by Customer.
