Shown in Attachment 1 is the distribution of investments which lists all the individual securities owned by the City with the book and market values. Book value is the actual price paid for the investment. Market value is the amount that the investment is worth if sold in the open market.

The investment of the City’s funds is performed in accordance with the ad opted Investment Policy. Funds are invested with the following objectives in mind:
1. Assets are invested in adherence with the safeguards and diversity of a prudent investor.
2. The portfolio is invested in a manner consistent with the primary emphasis on preservation of the principal, while attaining a high rate of return consistent with this guideline. Trading of securities for the sole purpose of realizing trading profits is prohibited.

4. Investments may be made, consistent with the Investment Policy Guidelines, in fixed income securities maturing in three years or less and can be extended to five years with the City Manager’s approval.
The Finance Department invests the City’s assets with an expectation of achieving a total rate of return at a level that exceeds the annualized rate of return on short -term government guaranteed or insured obligations (90 -day Treasury bills) and to as sure that the principal is preserved with minimal risk of depreciation or loss. In periods of rising interest rates, the City of Clovis portfolio return may be less than that of the annualized 90 -day Treasury bill.

To date, 34 corporate securities have been purchased at a net book value of $70,073,902 as of June 30, 2025. Their average yield is 4.20%, which is roughly 41 basis points higher than current yields on 5-year Treasury bonds.
In accordance with the Investment Policy, the investment period for each investment is up to three years and can be extended to five years with the City Manager’s approval. As of June 2025, the average investment life of the City’s investment portfolio is 1.69 years.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Finance Department
DATE: October 20, 2025
SUBJECT: Finance - Approval – Res. 25-___, Amending the 2025 -26 Budget to reappropriate carryover funding from the 2024-25 budget.
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Res. 25-___, Amendments to the 2025-26 Budget
2. Description of Projects
RECOMMENDATION
That the Council approve Resolution 25 -___, Reappropriating certain Capital Projects, Services and Capital Outlays from Fiscal Year 2024 -25 to 2025-26 by Department and Fund as shown on Attachment 1A and as described on Attachment 2.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
During the budget process, estimates are made as to projects and services expected to be completed by year-end. For a variety of reasons, some of these projects and services are not completed by June 30 th. These unspent funds are available for reappropriation to the next fiscal year. This request requires Council approval as it amends the next year’s budget. These projects and services will be completed during the next fiscal year.
BACKGROUND
As part of the preparation of the 2025 -26 Annual Budget, certain projects in the Community Investment Program, capital outlays and services in the operation budgets were estimated to be completed by June 30, 2025, or at least contracts awarded, or purchase orders issued.
Because of unforeseen delays or planned postponements contracts or purchase orders were not awarded in Fiscal Year 2024 -25 as originally anticipated. Because these projects were expected to be completed in Fiscal Year 2024 -25, they were not re -budgeted in Fiscal Year 2025-26.
Included on Attachment 2 is a description of the projects to be reappropriated from the various departments with the reason given by the department for the request for reappropriation.
FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated fund balances for the year-end 2024-25 included the anticipated expenditure of funds for these items. Since these items were not encumbered and the funds not expended, the year-end balances will be higher than expected. Sufficient resources are available to cover these expenditures.
29 AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
In order to complete the planned projects and pro cure the necessary items, it is necessary to reappropriate the items to Fiscal Year 2025-26 to provide the budget authorization.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Purchase orders or contracts for the reappropriated items will be issued, in most cases, within ninety days.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
None.

RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to Approve a Resolution authorizing amendments to the City’s Classification and Compensation Plans by revising and renaming the classification of Building Inspector to Building Inspector I with a reduced monthly salary range of $6,219 to $7,560, and the classification of Senior Building Inspector with a monthly salary range of $8,227 to $10,000, and by adopting the classification of Building Inspector II with a monthly salary range of $6,969 to $8,470 in the Planning and Development Services Department, and Approve a Resolution Amending the City’s FY 25-26 Position Allocation Plan.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A recent study of positions within the Building Division of the Planning and Development Services Department concluded that there was a need to add a position to fit current and future demands of both the Department and the City. Continued growth within both the Building Division and the City as a whole has created the need for this additional job classification. The Planning and Development Services Department has identified the need to establish a Building Inspector II classification. This job classification would be assigned to the Building Division within the Planning and Development Services Department. If the new classification is adopted, it would create a need to revise the current Building Inspector and Senior Building Inspector classifications. The current Building Inspector classification would be revised and renamed to Building Inspector I with a reduced salary range of $6,219 to $7,560 and would be the entry and 49 AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.
first working level of the Building Inspector classification series. The Senior Building Inspector classification would have a new monthly salary range of $8,227 to $10,000.
BACKGROUND
As the City continues to experience steady growth in residential, commercial, and mixed -use development, the demand for services within the Building Division has increased. This growth has led to a significant rise in permitting, inspections, and enforcement activities required by the Planning and Development Services Department, particularly within the Building Division.
A need for a mid-level position within the Building Inspector series was identified and will provide a classification that reflects the complexity and responsibility levels required in today’s inspection environment. This classification restructuring is essential to effectively manage increased workload, ensure consistent service delivery, and support employee development as the City continues to grow.
The proposed Building Ins pector II classification would handle more complex building inspections, investigate allegations of construction being built without a permit, research code section issues, and work more independently. The recommended Building Inspector II monthly salary range should be $6,969 to $8,470, which is the same as the current Building Inspector classification monthly salary range . Current experienced staff in the Building Inspector classification would be reclassified as Building Inspector II.
To accommodate this change, the current Building Inspector classification would be revised and renamed to Building Inspector I, with a reduced monthly salary range of $6,219 to $7,560. This classification would serve as the entry-level classification for the series and would primarily focus on performing light commercial and residential building inspections under direct supervision.
The revision of Building Inspector and Senior Building Inspector classifications , along with the proposed classification of Building Inspector II, have been reviewed and approved by the Clovis Professional and Technical Association (CPTA) bargaining unit. The revision of the Building Inspector and Senior Building Inspector classifications , along with the proposed new Building Inspector II classification, are included in Attachment A of Attachment 1.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no fiscal impact related to the reclassification of staff from Building Inspector to Building Inspector II as the monthly salary range is the same.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
Creation of the Building Inspector II classification, along with the update s to the Building Inspector and Senior Building Inspector classifications, are necessary in order to meet the needs of the Building Division within the Planning and Development Services Department. The recommended changes to the City’s Classification and Compensation plans require City Council’s approval.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Personnel staff will add the new classification description s to the City’s Classification and Compensation Plans and current staff in the Building Inspector classification will be reclassified as Building Inspector II.

For the City Council to Approve a Resolution authorizing amendments to the City’s Classification and Compensation Plans by revising and renaming the classification of Permit Technician to Permit Technician I with a reduced monthly salary range of $4,869 to $5,918, adopting the classification of Permit Technician II with a monthly salary range of $5,869 to $7,134 , and adopting the classification of Senior Permit Technician with a monthly salary range of $6,474 to $7,870, in the Planning and Development Department, and Approve a Resolution Amending the City’s FY 25-26 Position Allocation Plan.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A recent study of positions within the Building Division of the Planning and Development Services Department concluded that there was a need to add positions to fit current and future demands of both the Department and the City. Continued growth within both the Building Division and the City as a whole has created the need for additional positions. The Planning and Development Services Department has identified the need to establish a Permit Technician II classification and a Senior Permit Technician classification. These positions will be assigned to the Building Division within the Planning and Development Services Department. If the new classification s are adopted, this would create a need to revise and rename the current Permit Technician classification. The current Permit Technician classification would be renamed Permit Technician I with a reduced monthly salary range of $4,869 to $5,918 and would be the entry and first working level of the Permit Technician classification series. 67 AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.
BACKGROUND
As the City continues to experience steady growth in residential, commercial, and mixed -use development, the workload within the Building Division has increased. This growth has led to a significant rise in customer interactions, permit applications, and processing requirements required by the Planning and Development Services Department, particularly within the Building Division.
A recent study identified the need for more flexibility and career progression necessary to support the increasing complexity and volume of permitting services. Permit Technicians play a critical frontline role in assisting applicants, reviewing permit applications for completeness, and coordinating with various City departments to ensure timely and accurate permit issuance.
As projects and permitting processes have become more complex, the need for a tiered structure within the Permit technician classification series has become increasingly evident. As a result, the Department has proposed the creation of two new classifications, Permit Technician II and Senior Permit Technician . These classifications will allow for appropriate task delegation, improved workflow, and better alignment of responsibilities.
The proposed P ermit Technician II classification would handle more complex permit applications, mentor entry-level staff, and work more independently. T he recommended Permit Technician II monthly salary range should be $5,869 to $7,134, which is the same as the current Permit Technician classification monthly salary range . Current experienced staff in the Permit Technician classification would be reclassified as Permit Technician II.
The proposed Senior Permit Technician classification would take on advanced responsibilities such as overseeing daily permit operations, providing t echnical guidance, and assisting with process improvements and training. The recommended Senior Permit Technician monthly salary range should be $6,474 to $7,870.
To accommodate this change, the current Permit Technician classification would be revised and renamed to Permit Technician I and have a reduced monthly salary range of $4,869 to $5,918.
This classification would serve as the entry-level classification for the series and would primarily focus on performing routine permit processing under general supervision.
The revision of Permit Technician, along with the proposed classifications of Permit Technician II and Senior Permit Technician, have been reviewed and approved by the Clovis Professional and Technical Association (CPTA) bargaining unit. The revision of the Permit Technician classification, along with the proposed new classifications , are included in Attachment A of Attachment 1.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no fiscal impact related to the r eclassification of staff from Permit Technician to Permit Technician II as the salary is the same.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
Creation of the Permit Technician II and Senior Permit Technician classifications, along with the update to the Permit Technician classification are necessary in order to meet the needs of the Building Division within the Planning and Development Services Department. The 68 AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.
recommended changes to the City’s Classification and Compensation plans require City Council’s approval.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Personnel staff will add the new classification description s to the City’s Classification and Compensation Plans and current staff in the Permit Technician classification will be reclassified as a Permit Technician II.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
None.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A recent study of positions within the Building Division of the Planning and Development Services Department concluded that there was a need to add positions to fit current and future demands of both the Department and the City. Continued growth within both the Building Division and the City as a whole has created the need for additional positions. The Planning and Development Services Department has identified the need to establish a Plans Examiner II classification and a Senior Plans Examiner classification. These positions will be assigned to the Building Division within the Planning and Development Services Department. If the new classification s are adopted, this would create a need to revise and rename the current Plans Examiner classification. The current Plans Examiner classification would be revised and renamed to Plans 83 AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.
Examiner I and would be the entry and first working level of the Plans Examiner classification series.
BACKGROUND
The City has experienced a sustained increase in development activity over the past several years, including residential, commercial, and mixed -use projects. This growth has led to a significant rise in the volume and complexity of building permit applications, construction plans, and inspection services required b y the Planning and Development Services Department, particularly within the Building Division.
To ensure the Department can continue to meet customer service expectations, regulatory compliance, and processing timelines, a recent internal staffing study was conducted. The study identified the need for a more clearly defined career path within the Plans Examiner series to better address the increasing complexity of plan review assignments and to retain experienced personnel. As a result, the Department has proposed the creation of two new classifications, Plans Examiner II and Senior Plans Examiner. These classifications will allow for appropriate task delegation, improved workflow, and better alignment of responsibilities.
The proposed Plans Examine r II classification would serve as an intermediate level, handling more complex plan reviews with greater independence. The recommended Plan Examiner II monthly salary range should be $7,321 to $8,899 , which is the same as the current Plan Examiner classification monthly salary range. Current experienced staff in the Plan s Examiner classification would be reclassified as a Plans Examiner II.
The proposed Senior Plans Examiner classification would be responsible for advanced technical work, mentoring subord inate staff, and potentially performing lead duties over the plan review team. The recommended Senior Plans Examiner monthly salary range should be $8,227 to $10,000.
To accommodate this change, the current Plans Examiner classification would be revised and renamed to Plans Examiner I and have a reduced monthly salary range of $6,321 to $7,683 .
This classification would serve as the entry-level classification for the series and would primarily focus on routine plan checks under closer supervision.
The revision and renaming of the Plans Examiner to Plans Examiner I, along with the proposed classifications of Plans Examiner II and Senior Plans Examiner , have been reviewed and approved by the Clovis Professional and Technical Association (CPTA) bargaining unit. The revision of the Plans Examiner classification, along with the proposed new classifications, is included in Attachment A of Attachment 1.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no fiscal impact related to the reclassification of staff from Plans Examiner to Plans Examiner II as the salary is the same. However, one incumbent in the Plans Examiner classification is expected to meet the qualifications for the Senior Plans Examiner this fiscal year and the additional cost will be approximately $19,000.
84 AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
Creation of the Plans Examiner II and Senior Plans Examiner classifications, along with the update to the Plans Examiner classification are necessary in order to meet the needs of the Building Division within the Planning and Development Services Department. The recommended changes to the City’s Classification and Compensation plans require City Council’s approval.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Personnel staff will add the new classification desc riptions to the City’s Classification and Compensation Plans and current staff in the Plans Examiner classification will be reclassified as a Plans Examiner II.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Public Utilities Department
DATE: October 20, 2025
SUBJECT: Public Utilities – Approval – Waive Formal Bidding Requirements and Authorize the Purchase of a Landfill Automatic Tarping Machine from Tarp O Matic, Inc., in the Total Amount of $90,831.90.
ATTACHMENTS: None.
RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to waive formal bidding requirements and authorize the purchase of a Landfill automatic tarping machine from Tarp O Matic , Inc. for $90,831.90, including tax and delivery.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
There are funds in this fiscal year’s Fleet Renewal budget to purchase a Tarp O Matic 40 -ft. automatic tarping machine for the Public Utilities Department Solid Waste Division. The existing equipment is scheduled to be replaced due to its age. The bid price of $90,831.90 is from Tarp O Matic, Inc. The new equipment meets Tier 4 off-road emissions requirements.
Staff recommends waiving the City’s formal bidding requirements as authorized by Clovis Municipal Code Section 2.7.06(a) and section IV.C. of the City’s purchasing manual. There is a lack of viable vendors who can meet the required equipment specifications. Tarp O Matic, Inc., has met the required specifications. Staff recommends purchasing the Landfill tarping machine from Tarp O Matic , Inc., as n o other vendors were able to match the equipment needs of the Public Utilities Department Solid Waste Division.
BACKGROUND
The Land fill automatic tarping machine is available from Tarp O Matic , Inc., and will be manufactured according to the Public Utilities Department Solid Waste Division’s needs.
The Fleet Fund includes a vehicle and equipment replacement program where the differe nt divisions within City departments budget for and contribute a set amount of money annually for the future scheduled replacement of a vehicle or piece of equipment. This allows each department to financially plan for the large capital expense of purchasi ng new vehicles and equipment that need to be replaced due to age, wear and tear, or to meet regulatory 114
AGENDA ITEM NO. 15.
requirements. Depending on the condition and need of the vehicle or equipment being replaced, it will be moved from front -line operation and may be kept as a back-up, or it will be auctioned off in the City’s vehicle and equipment surplus program.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds were included in the 2025-2026 Fleet Capital Acquisition budget, often referred to as the Fleet Renewal or Fleet Replacement budge t. The Solid Waste Division has provided the necessary funds for purchase of equipment.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The existing Landfill automatic tarping machine h as been in service for over 10 years and is scheduled for replacement. Sufficient funds have been collected for replacement of the equipment. Staff has evaluated the available equipment and determined that it meets the needs of the Public Utilities Department Solid Waste Division. The proposed method of purchasing the equipment is cost-effective and funds are available.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Purchase orders will be prepared for the City Manager’s approval and sent to the vendor.

RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to waive formal bidding requirements and authorize the purchase of a Vactor Hydro-Excavator truck from Haaker Equipment Company utilizing the Sourcewell purchasing contract in the total amount of $723,753.10, including tax and delivery.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
There are funds in this f iscal year’s Water Enterprise budget to purchase a new Vactor Hydro- Excavator Truck for the Public Utilities Department Wa ter Division. The competitively bid contract price of $7 23,753.10 is from Haaker Equipment Company , utilizing the Sourcewell Purchasing Contract. This new vehicle will meet all emissions requirements.
The Sourcewell Purchasing Contract, formerly the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA) contract, is a nationwide public procurement service that makes the governmental procurement process more efficient. All contracts available to participating members have been awarded by virtue of a public competitive procurement process compliant with state statutes.
BACKGROUND
The recommended equipment is available through the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Contract, formerly the NJPA contract. Sourcewell is a cooperative purchasing contract that allows a manufacturer like Vactor to respond to a Request for Proposals (RFP) that covers a large group of government buyers, and it allows a large group of government buyers with similar interests to leverage their buying power to obtain government-only discounts on products.

SUBJECT: Public Utilities – Approval – Waive Formal Bidding Requirements and Award a Contract to Aqua-Metric Sales Company for the Purchase and Installation of Two Sensus Base Stations and Associated Software in the Amount of $181,787.63, and Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Contract on Behalf of the City.
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Vicinity Map
RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to waive formal bidding requirements and award a contract to Aqua-Metric Sales Company for the purchase and installation of two Advanced Metering Infrastructure base stations and the necessary software to operate the infrastructure in the amount of $181,787.63, and to authorize the City Manager to execute the contract on behalf of the City.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff is recommending that City Council waive formal bidding requirements and authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Aqua-Metric Sales Company for the sole source purchase and installation of two Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) base stati ons and associated software in the amount of $181,787.63 . These base stations will be located at the water tower at Letterman Park and the communication tower at Fire Station Number 6.
The City has been using the Sensus water metering system since impleme nting radio read meters over 25 years ago. The base stations, supplied by Aqua-Metric Sales Company , are specific to the Sensus water metering system. This communication network uses a proprietary licensed frequency and will only work with the Sensus meter network. Aqua-Metric Sales Company is the only regionally licensed vendor that is authorized to supply Sensus meter systems and their AMI components. Staff is recommending that Council waive formal bidding requirements under the Purchasing Manual and Procedures section IV.C.1.b.(2) because , due to the proprietary nature of Sensus licensed frequency, there is a lack of viable vendors.
This purchase is the next step in the City’s transition to an automated water meter re ading infrastructure. The automated system will allow staff, and eventually the customer, to access water usage data as quickly as 24 hours later.
118
AGENDA ITEM NO. 17.
BACKGROUND
Currently, water meter readings are completed by a combination of the following:
Radio Read Meters: These reads are transmitted to a truck -mounted antenna via driven routes throughout the City. These are currently AMI -compatible and make up approximately 60% of the metered system.
Direct Read Meters: These meters are manually read by Meter Reading sta ff. These make up approximately 40% of the metered system and are not yet AMI-compatible.
The City continues to replace direct read water meters with AMI-compatible water meters as a part of the City’s water meter replacement program. The AMI system will allow the meters to automatically transmit the water usage data to a fixed antenna and base station . That base station will then relay the data directly to the Corporation Yard at the Public Utilities Department multiple times per day . A propagation study was completed to determine the quantity and location of base stations needed. Consistent with that study, Public Utilities staff are recommending the purchase of two base stations, to be located at the water tower at Letterman Park and the communication to wer at Fire Station Number 6. The total cost of the project, including the software required to operate the AMI system, is $181,787.63.
The stations will allow for the automated reading of AMI-compatible water meters, which the City has been installing as a standard practice since 2009. The base stations are specific to the Sensus meter system, which has been the City’s selected water metering system for over 25 years. The base stations will act as the source of communication with the water meter that will then record the water usage readings in the Sensus software. This communication network is a proprietary licensed frequency, and will only work with the Sensus meter network.
Purchase and installation of these specific base stations is necessary for compatibility with the proprietary Sensus frequency and to continue the decades -long investment the City has previously committed to.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for this project are budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Water Enterprise Budget.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
Aqua-Metric Sales Company is the authorized regional Sensus sales representative capable of providing the required Sensus base stations that communicate with the existing water meters .
The Aqua-Metric Sales Company quote has been deemed reasonable by City staff and there are sufficient funds available to complete this project.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
The agreement will be prepared and executed, subject to standard City requirements for contractors, and work will be completed to install two Sensus base stations.

SUBJECT: Public Utilities – Approval – Res. 25-___, Authorizing the Public Utilities Director to Approve and Execute Agreements and Other Instruments Incidental to Right -of-Way, Regulatory, Operational, and Maintenance Programs and Projects Approved by the City Council, and Accept and Consent to Recording Grants of Real Property Interests to the City for Public Purposes as Authorized by Government Code Section 27281.
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Resolution
RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to approve Resolution 25 -___, authorizing the Public Utilities Director to approve and execute agreements and other instruments incidental to right -of-way, regulatory, operational, and maintenance programs and projects approved by the City Council, and accept and consent to recording grants of real property interests to the City for public purposes as authorized by Government Code section 27281.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed resolution delegates authority to the Public Utilities Director to execute agreements and other instruments incidental to right -of-way, regulatory, operational and maintenance programs and projects approved by City Council. The resolution also authorizes the Public Utilities Director to accept and consent to recording deeds and conveyances of real property interests and easements to the City as authorized by Government Code section 27281.
BACKGROUND
The City’s Public Utilities Department undertakes and is responsible for various types of projects.
Such projects may include and involve right -of-way acquisition, regulatory, operational, and maintenance programs and projects, City public utili ty and infrastructure maintenance and improvement projects, and other projects involving public improvements and public works within the City. The Public Utilities Director has responsibility for the Public Utilities Department projects, including the main tenance, operation, and repair of the City’s public utility improvements as provided in Clovis Municipal Code section 2.2.503 and the Director’s job description. Such projects are approved by the City Council in accordance with the Clovis Municipal Code ( CMC) and applicable law. After approval by the City Council, many projects 122
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
may require subsequent agreements and other instruments to be negotiated, prepared, and executed that are incidental to and needed for project completion, such as easements, right-of- way acquisition, common use agreements with other public agencies, and other documents that are typically routine and customary.
CMC section 2.2.113, subd. (a) authorizes the City Manager to sign routine contracts, conveyances, warrants, and other instruments necessary for the day -to-day operation of the City. CMC section 2.2.113, subd. (b) provides that other City officials (besides the City Manager) are authorized to sign contracts, conveyances, and other instruments which the Council has specifically delegated by ordinance, resolution, or other official action (e.g., authorization at the time of project approval). Resolution 19-26, approved on March 4, 2019, specifically authorizes the City Engineer to approve and sign various agreements and instruments incidental to development projects approved by the City Council and within the duties and responsibilities of the City Engineer. However, no similar specific authorization exists for the Public Utilities Director for public utility or infrastructure projects within the duties and responsibilities of the Director.
The proposed resolution will authorize the Public Utilities Directo r to approve and sign various agreements incidental to projects within the duties and responsibilities of the Director, similar to Res. 19-26 for the City Engineer. As with Res. 19 -26, the Director must confer with and obtain City Attorney approval of the form and substance of any agreement or instrument to be approved and signed by the Director. Without this express authorization, routine agreements, easements, and other instruments that are common, incidental, and necessary to an already approved project will require City Council approval, or some may occasionally be approved by the City Manager. Staff recommends approval of the resolution to encourage efficiency and timely administration and completion of projects.
Additionally, as authorized by Government Code section 27281, the resolution will authorize the Public Utilities Director to accept deeds or grants conveying any interest in real property or easement to the City incidental to any project within the duties and responsibilities of the Director.
This authorization will also help avoid potential delays in the City obtaining right -of-way or easements needed for such projects.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the resolution will improve administrative efficiency and timely completion of projects, and help avoid delays for routine and common agreements, easements, and other documents needed for project implementation and completion.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
This resolution will be effective immediately and will authorize the Public Utilities Director to approve and execute agreements and other instruments related to various public works programs and projects approved by the City Council and within the duties and responsibilities of the Public Utilities Director. The resolution also authorizes the Director to accept and consent to 123

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Class 1 Categorical Exemption from further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and approve Site Plan Review (SPR) 2025-029, subject to the conditions listed in Attachment 1A.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Clovis (City) is requesting approval of a n SPR to allow the installation of trail improvements along the Fresno Irrigation District (FID) Big Dry Creek Canal bank and Letterman Park (Project). Approval of this request will allow the City to begin construction design and improvements of the park consistent with the conceptual site plan provided as Attachment 2.
BACKGROUND
As shown in Figure 1 below, Letterman Park is located on the west side of Villa Avenue between Bullard and Barstow Avenues. The property was designated as a park site in the 1993 General Plan and is zoned P -F (Public Facilities). In 2004, SPR98 -8A was approved allowing the development of a community skate park and public rest rooms within the park. Over the years, 127
AGENDA ITEM NO. 19.
the park has seen improvements such as a picnic shelter, and a new 30,000 square foot dog park, which recently opened in the Spring of 2025.
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
The Project includes the installation of entry feat ures and pedestrian -friendly improvements along the Big Dry Creek Canal. This Project is intended to enhance pedestrian access and encourage the use of the existing Big Dry Creek Canal bank as an informal trail under the established Master Trails Agreement (MTA). The MTA is a mutually beneficial agreement between the City and FID , which allows for existing canal banks within the City to be used as informal trails. The MTA has created the opportunity for this Project, making it one of many cooperative Projects between the City and FID. Entry features are located on Villa and Barstow Avenues, with a gateway feature within Letterman Park leading to the trail.
The City receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funds on an annual basis for housing and community development activities from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In 2022, HUD provided CDBG-CV funds to the City to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus, as part of a national programmatic re -allocation.
This project will meet the Coronavirus tie-back requirement of the program by improving access to trail space and mitigating potential future impacts of the coronavirus by preventing close 128
AGENDA ITEM NO. 19.
contact of persons. The project will also assist low -income residents as it is located in a low - moderate income census tract. This project will also ensure CDBG -CV funds are expended before the program deadline of September 1, 2026. The Project will use $187,000 in available CDBG Program Funds, making this Project possible. Funding was approved by the Clovis City Council at the May 5, 2025, Council meeting. Project funds are included in the 2025 -2026 City budget.
General Site Design
As shown in Figure 2 , the proposed design includes a trail signpost, gateway structures, a historical plaque, concrete trail and sidewalk within Letterman Park, fence improvements, irrigation modifications and minor grading of the canal bank. The Big Dry Creek canal trail improvements will be along the southeast canal bank from Barstow Avenue, through Letterman Park, and ending at Villa Avenue. The natural surface trail (existing canal bank) extends from Barstow Avenue to Letterman Park. The hardscape surface trail (concrete sidewalk) extends from Letterman Park to Villa Avenue. The proposed improvements are planned to be installed in a single phase.
Trail System
Pedestrian access to the trail is available at Barstow Avenue, Villa Avenue and at Letterman Park. This Project will include signage unique to this Project that will be pos ted at or near the signposts at Barstow and Villa Avenues to direct pedestrians to the nearest crosswalks.
Currently, this trail system does not include pedestrian crosswalks across Barstow or Villa Avenues.
129
AGENDA ITEM NO. 19.
Trail Signpost
The trail signpost features con sist of a concrete column sitting on a simple concrete base with the “Letterman Trail” name engraved on one side of the concrete column. The signposts are proposed at the entry locations on Barstow Avenue, Letterman Park, and Villa Avenue.
Gateway Structure
The gateway structure consists of a steel I -beam supported by concrete columns sitting on simple concrete bases. The “Letterman Trail” name lettering will be finished with natural polished metal. The gateway structure will include a firefighter metal l ogo in a rust red color. Near the gateway structure a plaque will be set to describe the park’s history, importance of the “Letterman Trail” name, and its affiliation with firefighters.
Review and Comments by Agencies
The Project was distributed to all City Divisions as well as outside agencies, including Caltrans, FID, Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District, AT&T, PG&E, San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, State Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the County of Fresno.
Comments received are attached (Attachment 3) only if the agency has provided concerns, conditions, or mitigation measures. Routine responses and comment letters are placed in the administrative record and provided to the applicant for their records.
Public Meeting and Comments
Staff held two (2) neighborhood meetings at Letterman Park for the Project . The first meeting was held on September 3, 2025, where three (3) residents were in attendance. Residents asked questions and provided comments concerning the Project’s construction impact on the existing dog park and construction timeline. The second meeting was held on October 2, 2025. One resident attended the meeting who asked questions and provided comments regarding the construction timeline and opportunities for additional wayfinding signage.
Staff received two (2) emails ( Attachment 4) from residents that could not attend the initial neighborhood meeting with concerns regarding the rise in crime, existing conditions of the canal bank (holes, erosion and trash), and sighting of a coyote den.
Staff believes the Project will not cause a rise in crime. Correspondence with the Police Department supports this belief. The southeastern portion of the canal will be improved which will remedy holes and areas of erosion throughout. Lastly, correspondence with the Parks Department indicates the coyote is not present in the park and the den no longer exists.
Planning Commission Meeting
On Thursday, September 25, 2025, the Planning Commission considered the Project, with staff presenting the Project alongside its recommendations and detailed information as described in the staff report. Staff did not receive opposing comments from any of the surrounding property owners and no one spoke in opposition of the project during the hearing. After discussion, the Planning Commission recommended that the Council approve the entitlements associated with the Project. All the items were approved with a vote of 4-0-1, with Commissioner Hebert absent.
130
AGENDA ITEM NO. 19.
California Environmental Quality Act
The City has determined that this Project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities) and that the exceptions identified under section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines would not be triggered as a result of the Project.
The Class 1 Categorical Exemption exempts projects that consist of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The Project would occupy an existing public facility with no expansion of square footage; therefore, the Project has been determined to have negligible differences from the former use and qualifies for the Class 1 Categorical Exemption.
The exceptions identified in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 identify further review of an exemption by the project’s potential to result in a cumulative impact, significant effect, proximity to a scenic highway, location on or within the vicinity of a hazardous waste site, and/or the potential to negatively impact a historical resource. Based on staff’s review, these exceptions would not be triggered by the proposed Project. Therefore, a N otice of Exemption has been prepared, and Staff will file the notice with the County Clerk if the Project is approved.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Project will use $187,000 in available CDBG and CDBG -CV Program Funds. The City of Clovis receives CDBG Program funds on an annual basis from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for housing and community development activities. In 2022, HUD provided CDBG -CV funds to the City to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus, as part of a natio nal programmatic re -allocation. This project will meet the Coronavirus tie -back requirement of the program by improving access to trail space and mitigating potential future impacts of the coronavirus by preventing close contact of persons.
The project wil l also assist low -income residents as it is located in a low -moderate income census tract. This project will also ensure CDBG -CV funds are expended before the program deadline of September 1, 2026. Project funds are included in the 2025-2026 City budget.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
SPR2025-029 is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan, the Clovis Municipal Code (CMC), and the P -F Zone District. Based on the required findings below, Staff is recommending that the City Council approve SPR2025-029.
Approval of an SPR application requires that each of the following findings be made for the proposed Project:
1. Be allowed within the subject zoning district;
The existing park and proposed Project are allowed within the P-F Zone District with an approved SPR. This Project is intended to enhance pedestrian access and encourage the use of the existing Big Dry Creek Canal bank as an informal trail.

The proposed development will generate storm runoff which produces potentially significant environmental impacts and which must be properly discharged and mitigated pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. The District in cooperation with the City and County has developed and adopted the Storm Drainage and Flood Control Master Plan. Compliance with and implementation of this Master Plan by this development project will satisfy the drainage related CEQA/NEPA impact of the project mitigation requirements.
Pursuant to the District
’
s Development Review Fee Policy, the subject project shall pay review fees for issuance of this Notice of Requirements (NOR) and any plan submittals requiring the District ’
s reviews. The NOR fee shall be paid to the District by Developer before the Notice of Requirement will be submitted to the City. The Grading Plan fee shall be paid upon first submittal. The Storm Drain Plan fee shall be paid prior to return/pick up of first submittal.
The proposed development shall pay drainage fees pursuant to the Drainage Fee Ordinance prior to issuance of a building permit at the rates in effect at the time of such issuance. The fee indicated above is valid through 2/28/26
based on the site plan
submitted to the District on
9/05/25
Contact FMFCD for a revised fee in cases where changes are made in the proposed site plan which materially alter the proposed impervious area.
Considerations which may affect the fee obligation(s) or the timing or form of fee payment:
a.)
Fees related to undeveloped or phased portions of the project may be deferrable. b.)
Fees may be calculated based on the actual percentage of runoff if different than that typical for the zone district under which the development is being undertaken and if permanent provisions are made to assure that the site remains in that configuration.
c.)
Creditable storm drainage facilities may be constructed, or required to be constructed in lieu of paying fees. d.)
The actual cost incurred in constructing Creditable drainage system facilities is credited against the drainage fee obligation.
e.)
When the actual costs incurred in constructing Creditable facilities exceeds the drainage fee obligation, reimbursement will be made for the excess costs from future fees collected by the District from other development. f.)
Any request for a drainage fee refund requires the entitlement cancellation and a written request addressed to the General Manager of the District within 60 days from payment of the fee. A non refundable $300 Administration fee or 5% of the refund whichever is less will be retained without fee credit. 5469 E. OLIVE - FRESNO, CA 93727 - (559) 456-3292 - FAX (559) 456-3194

7. The Federal Clean Water Act and the State General Permits for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction and Industrial Activities (State General Permits) require developers of construction projects disturbing one or more acres, and discharges associated with industrial activity not otherwise exempt from National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting, to implement controls to reduce pollutants, prohibit the discharge of waters other than storm water to the municipal storm drain system, and meet water quality standards.
These requirements apply both to pollutants generated during construction, and to those which may be generated by operations at the development after construction.
a.
State General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activities, effective July 1, 2010, as amended. A State General Construction Permit is required for all clearing, grading, and disturbances to the ground that result in soil disturbance of at least one acre (or less than one acre) if part of a larger common plan of development or sale). Permittees are required to: submit a Notice of Intent and Permit Registration Documents to be covered and must pay a permit fee to the State Water Resources Control Board (State Board), develop and implement a storm water pollution prevention plan, eliminate non-storm water discharges, conduct routine site inspections, train employees in permit compliance, and complete an annual certification of compliance.
b.
State General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities, April, 2014 (available at the District Office). A State General Industrial Permit is required for specific types of industries described in the NPDES regulations or by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code. The following categories of industries are generally required to secure an industrial permit: manufacturing; trucking; recycling; and waste and hazardous waste management. Specific exemptions exist for manufacturing activities which occur entirely indoors. Permittees are required to: submit a Notice of Intent to be covered and must pay a permit fee to the State Water Resources Control Board, develop and implement a storm water pollution prevention plan, eliminate non-storm water discharges, conduct routine site inspections, train employees in permit compliance, sample storm water runoff and test it for pollutant indicators, and annually submit a report to the State Board.
c.
The proposed development is encouraged to select and implement storm water quality controls recommended in the Fresno-Clovis Storm Water Quality Management Construction and Post-Construction Guidelines (available at the District Office) to meet the requirements of the State General Permits, eliminate the potential for non-storm water to enter the municipal storm drain system, and where possible minimize contact with materials which may contaminate storm water runoff.
8. A requirement of the District may be appealed by filing a written notice of appeal with the Secretary of the District within ten days of the date of this Notice of Requirements.
9. The District reserves the right to modify, reduce or add to these requirements, or revise fees, as necessary to accommodate changes made in the proposed development by the developer or requirements made by other agencies.

Attachments: IMG_4259.jpeg
Hello Sarai,
My name is Ralph Saldivar. I have been riding my bike through the Dry Creek trail nearly every day for the last year, or more.
I may not be able to make it to the meeting on the 3rd, so I wanted to give you my direct knowledge of that part of Dry Creek trail.
I often ride through the rough primitive part of the trail to the Bullard end, behind Dollar General; then through the residential area, to get to the nice part of Dry Creek trail.
I have already bent one bicycle rim, after hitting a hole in the trail, made by ground squirrels.
It’s rough. The Tarpey area does have more homeless folks, they seem to be more comfortable in the areas with dirt trail, and no cameras.
I believe the primitive part of the trail, encourages homeless folks to sleep in the bushes, and dump trash everywhere.
Nearly every day we find property that has been stolen from unlocked cars, or trash that transient folks discard as they travel through.
You won’t see that as much, on the trail that’s been paved, and beautified.
I’m seeing more, and more residents walking their children along the canal, to get to the park.
They have to walk past trash, (everywhere) holes in the trail, erosion because it’s unpaved. As well as abandoned encampments in the bushes, and homeless people drinking their beers.
We also have a large Coyote den on the large dirt mound in the Clovis City yard, behind the Animal Shelter. They should be moved to the hills.
I myself have taken to picking up trash to help out where I can, and Will Not help the homeless, as I have seen them take what they want, and throw the rest in the canal.
The Park has been an encampment for homeless, as the police can’t keep up without cameras. The picnic table area next to the skatepark is a haven for homeless. Booze and beer bottles are always around.
Scary people always hang out there.
The skatepark, and dog-park area’s are the nicest part of the whole area. Maybe because they’re fenced off?
Sorry this message is so long, but I wanted to address what I’ve seen between the different parts of the Dry Creek Canal trails… paved is always cleaner, and safer, and I Attachment 4

believe it would help reduce bank erosion, trash dumping, and homeless sleeping in along the trail.
Getting rid of the large Coyote den would really be appreciated, as well.
Thank you for your time, and any help you can give this part of the trail system.
I’ve attached a photo of a large coyote on top of the giant dirt mound in the City yard.
Best Regards,
Ralph Saldivar.

Thank you for sending a notification of the proposed trail. The idea is fine, but I'm concerned about the possibility of a rise in crime in the area.
What are to plans to keep people from climbing the wall behind my house and the other houses along the canal? There is too much crime in our area as it is. As you know there are a lot of homeless in the area.
Thank you for your help.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 19.
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Planning and Development Services
DATE: October 20, 2025
SUBJECT: Consider Approval - Res. 25 -___, Resolution of Necessity to determine that public interest and necessity require acquisition of property for public purposes; and Authorize proceedings in emi nent domain for property located North of Shepherd Avenue, West of Fowler Avenue.
Staff: Jomar Rushdan, Management Analyst
Recommendation: Approve
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Res. 25-___
2. Vicinity Map
RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to hold a public hearing and approve the attached Resolution of Necessity (Attachment 1), authorizing the City Attorney to initiate eminent domain proceedings to acquire a permanent easement over a certain property for public right-of-way purposes at the northwest corner of Shepherd and Fowler Avenues.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This is a request to approve a Resolution of Necessity approving the eminent domain process to acquire right -of-way in order to facilitate the street widening project on Shepherd Avenue, between Sunnyside and Fowler Avenues. Staff has not been able to come to an agreement with the property owner to purchase the needed right-of-way. This action is to avoid further delays in the construction of improvements along Shepherd Avenue.
California Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.240 requires the Resolution of Necessary be approved by a minimum vote of two-thirds of all the members of the City Council.
BACKGROUND
City staff is currently in discussion with Yu Gyung Lee Nelson, property owner of 9029 N. Fowler Clovis CA, APN 557-021-41s. The acquisition consists of 2,469 square feet of new street right- of-way. Attachment 1 shows the area needing to be acquired.
149
AGENDA ITEM NO. 20.
This right-of-way is needed for the Shepherd Avenue Widening Project, between Fowler and Sunnyside Avenues (the “Project”). The Project’s improvements include the widening of both the eastbound and westbound lanes of Shepherd Avenue to accommodate increased traffic demand and improve overall traffic flow and safety in the area. This work includes roadway expansion, installation of curbs, gutters, drainage improvements, and other related infrastructure upgrades.
Additionally, the Project includes the installation of essential PG&E electrical facilities required to service the newly constructed residential developments at the intersection of Sunnyside Avenue and Shepherd Avenue. The improvements are necessary to support current and future community needs, ensure public safety, and provide reliable utility infrastructure.
City staff have been working with the property owner since September of 2024 to come to an agreement for the acquisition. Staff obtained an appraisal report for the Property to be obtained that outlines its fair market value, and an offer was made to the property owner in accordance with Government Code section 7267.2. Staff has worked with the property owner to address issues and questions they have related to the acquisition of the needed portion of their property.
Due to the lack of agreement on the terms of the acquisition and timing of the Project, staff is moving forward with this request for the City Council to approve the Resolution of Necessity and authorize staff to begin the eminent domain process, if necessary. The Resolution of Necessity is the first step in the eminent domain process.
Staff will continue to work with the property ow ner with the goal of coming to an agreement on the terms of the right -of-way acquisition . However, the planned improvements, including a pedestrian pathway connecting to the Fowler intersection will be delayed if right -of-way is not acquired in a timely manner.
The property owner has been notified of the public hearing date and their right to appear and be heard on the Resolution of Necessity . Notice of this hearing was mailed to the property owner on September 8, 2025, in accordance with Code of Civil Pro cedure section 1245.235. Council is advised that the only issues under consideration at the public hearing are considering the necessity to invoke eminent domain, and whether there exists relevant findings required for adopting a Resolution of Necessity. The fair market value of the property is not a proper topic for consideration or discussion at the Resolution of Necessity hearing.
The findings for the Resolution of Necessity are:
1. Public interest and necessity require the proposed project;
2. The proposed project is planned and located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury;
3. The property described in the Resolution is necessary for the proposed project;
4. An offer to acquire the real property, pursuant to section 7267.2 of the Government Code, was made to the owners of record as provided by law;
5. The City has complied with all conditions and statutory requirements necessary to exercise the power of eminent domain ("the right to take") to acquire the portion of the property described herein; and 150
AGENDA ITEM NO. 20.
6. The City has fully complied with all provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act for the Project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The project and related right-of-way acquisitions are budgeted and funded by private developers.
There are no fiscal impacts to the City of Clovis.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The Project is necessary to accommodate increased traffic flow and increase public safety.
Newly constructed residential developments have increased traffic demands, necessitating the widening of Shepherd Avenue to ensure public safety. Additionally, pla nned improvements cannot be completed absent the acquisition of the property.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Staff will pursue an action in eminent domain to condemn the permanent easement for the Project in the manner required by law.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
None.

RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to approve Res. 25 -___ Amending License Fees for Gaming Clubs and Card Rooms in the City.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City currently has one authorized gaming club operating in the City in accordance the California Gambling Control Act and the City’s Gaming Club and Card Room Ordinance (Ch. 5.6 of the Municipal Code). In January 2018, the Clovis City Council approved both the transfer of the 500 Club Casino to a new ownership group and a new licensing fee structure. The licensing fee was restructured to 6.25% of gross gaming revenues less promotional chips collected in year 1 to 10% in year 3 and thereafter, with no table fees. The revenue from this license fee structure recovered quickly during the COVID -19 pandemic and peaked in fiscal year 2021-22 at $1.27 million but has steadily declined since by about 5% annually.
On August 28, 2025, the City received a letter from the 500 Club seeking to revisit the license fee methodology. Staff and the operators exchanged proposals with the goal of creating stability in the revenue s to the City along with the business operations of the 500 Club that also encourages expansion of the card room.
In addition, via State Law change in 2024 and subsequent City Council action earlier this year, the 500 Club recently added two gaming tables and is authorized to add an additional 8 gaming tables over the next 16 years , for a total of 29 gaming tables . The new proposed license fee 158
AGENDA ITEM NO. 21.
structure encourages the overall growth of the business a long with providing long-term license fee revenue to the City.
The new fee structure is proposed to be on a per table basis of $35,000, that is inflation adjusted every 4 years. New tables added would be charged half of the table rate for the first 4 years, after which they would be at the full table rate. For the first year, this would equate to an annual fixed license fee of $735,000 for the 21 tables currently operated. If inflationary historic norms hold, and 8 tables are added , the fee could grow to approximately $1.8 million annually in 20 years. The owners of the 500 Club and staff support the proposed license fee changes.
BACKGROUND
In January 2018, the Clovis City Council approved both the transfer of the 500 Club Casino to a new ownership group and a new licensing fee structure. The licensing fee was restructured to
6.25% of gross gaming revenues less promotional chips collected in year 1 to 10% in year 3 and thereafter, with no table fees . The revenue from this license fee structure recovered quickly during the COVID -19 pandemic and peaked in fiscal year 2021 -22 at $1.27 million but has steadily declined since by about 5% annually. The operators attribute the decline in revenues to the proximity of increased competition.
On August 28, 2025 , the City received a letter from the 500 Club seeking to revisit the license fee methodology. Staff and the operators exchanged proposals with the goal of creating stability in City revenues along with the business operations of the 500 Club that also encourages expansion of the card room. The costs of operations are increasing at a faster pace than the gross revenues, , which not o nly impacts the business but also results in less General Fund revenue to help fund critical City services. The following is the recommended fee structure provided for illustrative purposes and is based on projected additional tables placed in operation in accordance with the schedule found in Clovis Municipal Code section 5.6.09(a):

AGENDA ITEM NO. 21.
FISCAL IMPACT
Initially, there will be a reduction in license fees to the City’s General Fund. However, if a change isn’t made it is expected future revenues will continue to decline. The proposal provides a fixed amount the City will receive that adjusts for inflation every four years and encourages growth of the business. The chart below provides a historic perspective of the license fee revenues as well as the projected license fee revenues based on the proposed amendments.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The proposed amendment stabilizes the licensing fee revenue for the City of Clovis and encourages the business and future revenues to grow.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Staff will implement the City Council direction.

Re: Proposal to Amend Cardroom Fee Structure
Dear Mr. Haussler:
On behalf of my client, the 500 Club, I respectfully submit this proposal to amend the current fee structure governing the cardroom’s operations within the City of Clovis. The purpose of this proposal is to provide the City with a stable, predictable, and steadily increasing source of revenue, while allowing the cardroom to operate sustainably and expand responsibly.
The 500 Club proposes transitioning to a flat per-table fee of thirty-five thousand dollars ($35,000) annually for each of the twenty-one (21) existing tables, payable monthly for a total of $735,000 per year.
To ensure that the City’s revenues grow consistently with economic conditions, the per- table fee would be adjusted every four years by the cumulative increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. For example, if CPI averages two percent per year, an eight percent adjustment would be applied at the next four-year interval.
This proposal also provides for future table growth. Beginning with the twenty-one current tables, the cardroom may add two tables approximately every four years, until reaching a cap of twenty-nine (29) tables. Each new table would be assessed at fifty percent (50%) of the CPI-adjusted per-table fee in effect at the time of its addition. This ensures that as the cardroom grows, the City’s revenues grow with it, while maintaining a fair cost structure that makes expansion feasible.
The 500 Club also recommends including an extraordinary events provision. In the event of circumstances beyond the control of either party—such as pandemics, public health Attachment 2 163
AGENDA ITEM NO. 21.
2 emergencies, or significant legal or regulatory changes the City and the Club would meet and confer in good faith to determine appropriate temporary adjustments. This provides fairness, continuity of operations, and protection of the City’s revenue stream during unforeseen disruptions.
This structure will provide the City with a clear and predictable growth path. For example, see the chart below using the past 10 years of data to calculate an average CPI. 20-Year Payment Schedule (29-table cap, CPI step = 1.126 every 4 years) Year CPI-adjusted per-

This model aligns Clovis with practices in many other California municipalities, which rely on table-based fee structures rather than gross-receipts models. It offers predictability, transparency, and fairness while ensuring the City’s revenue base grows consistently over time.
We respectfully request that this proposal be placed on the City Council’s agenda for formal consideration. We are prepared to provide additional supporting information as needed.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your continued partnership. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or require further clarification.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff is in receipt of a request from letter from James Betts, representing Louis Sarantos, owner of the 500 Club at 771 W. Shaw Avenue requesting " .... the City of Clovis take all necessary action to approve the sale of the 500 Club Casino, 771 W. Shaw Avenue, Clovis, California, to buyers Michael LeBlanc and Kevin Barclay." The Sarantos family began renting the 500 Club building, at 500 Clovis Ave., in 1953. In 197 4, Louis and George Sarantos bought the club from their parents and formed a partnership. In May 2009, Louis Sarantos approached the City about the possibility of expanding and relocating to the current location of 771 W. Shaw Avenue. 500 Clovis Avenue remains open as a bar and grill but there is no gaming at that location. In mid- 2012, the 500 Club opened up on Shaw Avenue expanding from six tables at the old location to 18 tables at the new location. The 500 Club pays the City a license fee based upon a percentage of the gross gaming revenue. At the old location the City received approximately $20,000 per year in license fees. At the new location, the City has averaged approximately $420,000 per fiscal year in license fees paid to the City over the past five years. In November 2017, Louis Sarantos approached the City requesting the City approve the sale of the Clovis 500 Club License to K & M Casinos, Inc. Staff is also recommending an update to the license fees.
BACKGROUND
In May 2009, Louis Sarantos ("Sarantos") made two requests of the City: (1) to purchase the entire 50% general partnership interest of George Sarantos in the Clovis 500 Club partnership; and (2) to relocate, expand, incorporate, and allow for the sale of the card room business to qualified third parties with prior State and City approval.
The proposal was before City Council in various capacities on five separate occasions between 2010 and 2012. On September 6, 2011, the Council approved necessary ordinance amendments and land use approvals for the expansion, including: Ordinance Amendment OA2011-03, which amended the City's Card Room Ordinance to authorize 18 tables, as permitted by the California Gambling Control Act, and made other technical changes; OA2011-02, which amended Section 9.3.215.1 of the Clovis Municipal Code to add card rooms as a permitted use in the C-2 (Community Commercial) Zone District; and Site Plan Review SPR2011-06, which allowed for modifications to the structure and property site to accommodate the card room operation.
The City of Clovis currently has a single card room governed by Chapter 5.6 of the Clovis Municipal Code regarding Gaming Club and Card Room Regulations in the City of Clovis ("Card Room Ordinance"). Local licensing and regulation of gaming is in addition to, and in compliance with, regulations set forth by the California Gambling Control Act. Sarantos submitted an application to the California Gambling Control Commission (CGCC) for 500 Club 1/2/2018 2:29:15 PM Page 2 of4

purposes of obtaining a license to operate 18 tables that was approved by the CGCC in May 2012, and the new location became operational in June 2012.
In order for Sarantos to transfer the License, the application must be approved by the CGCC and a License must be issued by the City of Clovis. Approval of this action will provide Sarantos the ability to transfer the license in accordance with Chapter 5.6 of the Clovis Municipal Code. Approval of the transfer of the License is contingent on approval from the CGCC, and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exhibit A of Attachment "A" ("K & M Casinos License").
Between 2009 and 2011, staff developed the current ordinance to ensure that it had measures in place that could be implemented should the operation of the gaming establishment cause an increase in calls for service. The Police Department reports that the calls for service over the past five years have been minimal and that the business has been managed in a professional manner. The Clovis Police Department has performed background checks on the principals of buyers, and performed other due diligence in evaluating whether the Council should approve transfer of the License; and the Police Chief and City Administration recommend approval of the proposed transfer.
FISCAL IMPACT
When setting license fees in 2010, the overall goal was to ensure that a sufficient revenue stream was generated for the City to more than cover the cost of additional services being required to support the operation of the expanded card room at the new location.
The current fee schedule charges the card room both a fixed amount of $2,000 per table per year and a graduated scale of the percentage of gross revenue beginning with 3% and climbing to 9% in year 7 for gross revenues over $2M. This fee schedule allowed the business to become established in the early years and when established allowed the City to benefit in a commensurate fashion. The analysis completed in 2010 showed three scenarios to give the Council an idea of what could happen. Scenario 3 was quite aggressive and began sales in year 1 at $5.0M with license fees estimated at $460K per year. Year 1 (2012/13) actual performance paid the City of Clovis over $500K and has averaged approximately $415K over the last five years.
Staff is recommending changing the License fee to a straight 10% of Gross Revenue as defined in Exhibit "A" of Attachment "B". The effective average rate was 6.25%. Staff estimates that the difference between the effective average rate of 6.25% and the recommended straight 10% of Gross Revenue will generate an additional $250K per year for the City. It was always the intent to revisit the license fee in the future and when and if the 500 Club were sold.
The table below is from the City of Fresno Master Fee Schedule dated November 2016.
Fresno City Staff indicate that the Club One Casino is the only card room in the City of Fresno and paid the City approximately $1.0M. The $1.0M annual License fee equates to 500 Club 12/26/2017 8:03:25 AM Page 3 of 4

Staff is recommending approval of the request to transfer the License to K & M Casinos, Inc. based on the background results of the buyers and is conditioned upon approval by the CGCC. Staff spent three years (2009 - 2011) developing an ordinance to ensure that the sole card room in the City of Clovis will be managed in a fashion beneficial to both the operator and the City of Clovis. A well-crafted Ordinance is in effect, the seller has run a successful operation at the current location, and the gaming industry is heavily regulated by the CGCC.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
If approved, staff will issue the License, monitor operations, and report back to Council on an as needed basis.

Card Room License Fees
September 13, 2010
California. On July 19, 2010, Council approved, in concept, the expansion, relocation, incorporation, and allowance for sale to third party, and directed staff to initiate ordinance amendments to Chapter 5.6 of CMG regarding Gaming Club and Card Room Regulations and Chapter 9.3 regarding Zoning. A copy of the July 19, 2010, report (Attachment "B") is included for additional background information should you desire more detail on the history of the proposal.
Staff has met with the Applicant on several occasions since the July 19, 2010, meeting regarding proposed amendments to Chapter 5.6 of the CMC. Both staff and the Applicant feel they are very close to coming to terms on the overall proposed changes.
It is likely to take several months to process the ordinance, environmental work, and land use considerations. The rate of the license fee included in the ordinance will have an impact on the Applicant's business plan. The Applicant has requested that the license fee be set by resolution so that he can factor that amount into his business plan.
The ordinance itself will include a reference to the license fee as set by resolution.
BACKGROUND
The City of Clovis currently has a single card room governed by Uncodified • Ordinance 86-6 and subsequent amendments. Should the card room expand beyond its current six tables, it will be subject to Codified Ordinance 95-27 and found as Chapter 5.6 of CMC regarding Gaming Club and Card Room Regulations in the City of Clovis. Local licensing and regulation of gaming is in addition to and in compliance with regulations set forth by the California Gaming Registration Act.
Specific Proposal
The April 30, 2010, letter from Mr. Cardot details the proposal for the Clovis 500 Club to relocate, expand, incorporate and allow the sale to a qualified third party. The proposal is to relocate the gaming portion of the existing location (500 N. Clovis Avenue) where they operate six (6) card tables to the northeast corner of Willow and Shaw Avenues and expand to eighteen {18) tables at the new location. The existing location would become the Clovis 500 Club Bar and Grill and maintain similar operations less the gaming aspect.
Procedurally, two ordinance amendments would need approval from City Council to allow for the relocation, expansion, incorporation, and allowed sale to a third party. To comply with the California Environme11tal Quality Act (CEQA), an environmental analysis will be conducted to evaluate the impact of the proposal. Additionally, a new card room permit will be required as well as a new license. Amending Chapter 5.6 of the CMC regarding Gaming Club and Card Room Regulations in the City of Clovis could allow for the expansion, incorporation, and allowed sale to a third party.
Relocation of the existing card room to another area within the city could be facilitated by an ordinance amendment adding card rooms subject to the licensing regulation to the C-2, Community Commercial, Zone District. Staff anticipates bringing both
