TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Administration
DATE: January 5, 2026
SUBJECT: Administration – Approval – Waive normal purchasing process and authorize purchase of VMware System subscription from Saitech, Inc., in the amount of $93,936.

RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to waive the City’s normal purchasing process and authorize purchase of VMware System subscription from Saitech, Inc., in the amount of $93,936.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Included in the 2025-2026 Budget are funds to renew the existing subscription for the VMware virtualization system that is used for the City’s virtualized servers. Staff have been utilizing virtualized servers and infrastructure in all datacenters for close to a decade now. This has proven to be an effective use of resources and allows staff to quickly provide addi tional virtualized servers when needed and perform maintenance of hosts (physical) without interruption to production systems. This has provided significant cost savings and a great return on investment.

Staff recommends waiving the City’s normal purchasing policy to authorize the purchase of the VMware subscription from Saitech, Inc ., using the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) cooperative procurement contract.

BACKGROUND
The City uses, across its five datacenters, seventeen host servers that support more than 300 virtual servers running on the VMware Virtualization platform. This architecture delivers substantial cost savings by eliminating the need to purchase dedicated hardware for each of the 300+ servers currently required to support city operations. Instead, the seventeen host servers are virtualized (partitioned) to create a shared resource pool, reducing expenses related to hardware, power, cooling, and maintenance. This approach has produced an exceptional return on investment.

The City has previously procured the VMware System subscription from Saitech, Inc. as they had submitted the lowest cost and most responsible proposal for the previous VMWare subscription in January 2023 . To ensure continuity of service, support, and to remain in 12 AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.
compliance with the licensing terms, staff recommend purchasing the subscription from Saitech, Inc. using the NASPO cooperative purchasing agreement, a competitively bid contract with purchasing provisions for California State and Local government agencies.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for this subscription are included in the 2025-2026 budget for the IT Division. No additional appropriation is required.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
VMware is a core virtualization platform used to consolidate servers and improve IT efficiency.

The City is required by State and Federal law to properly license the software used on City desktop computers and servers. Procuring the subscription from Saitech, Inc. , will ensure that service and support continue seamlessly.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Upon Council approval, staff will purchase the VMware subscription from Saitech, Inc ., under the terms of the NASPO contract.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
None.

RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to approve a resolution authorizing amendments to the Firefighter, Firefighter Lateral, Fire Engineer, Fire Captain, Battalion Chief, Deputy Fire Chief, Deputy Fire Marshall, and Fire Chief Classifications in the Fire Department.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The classifications of Firefighter, Firefighter Lateral, Fire Engineer, Fire Captain, Battalion Chief, Deputy Fire Chief, Deputy Fire Marshall, and Fire Chief require updates to the education , certification, and experience sections to recruit additional job applicants for the Department and reflect current terminology . Also, minor revisions are necessary to coincide with the current certification requirements of the positions. Modification of the City’s Classification Plan requires City Council’s approval.

BACKGROUND
An analysis conducted on the Fire Department classifications identified a need for updates in the education, certification, and experience sections of the job descriptions to accurately reflect the minimum qualifications necessary for success in those positions , as well as reflect current terminology. These adjustments more accurately reflect the needs of the positions and will allow the City to broaden the pool of potential candidates for these roles.

The revisions to the Firefig hter, Firefighter Lateral, Fire Engineer, and Fire Captain classifications have been reviewed and approved by the Clovis Firefighters’ Association (CFFA) bargaining unit. The Battalion Chief, Deputy Fire Chief, Deputy Fire Marshal, and Fire Chief classifications are management classifications that have been reviewed and approved by Fire Administration. Revisions to these classifications are included in Attachment A of Attachment 1. 14 AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
Updating the education, certification, and experience requirements are needed for recruiting purposes and to reflect current terminology.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL

FROM: Planning and Development Services
DATE: January 5, 2026
SUBJECT: Planning and Development Services – Approval – Res. 26-___, Amend the 2025-2026 Community Investment Program Budget for Street Improvement Fund, for the Safe Streets for All Action Plan in the amount of $378,400.

ATTACHMENTS: 1. Resolution 26-___, Budget Amendment

RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to approve a resolution amending the Street Improvement Fund in the 2025- 2026 Community Investment Program (CIP) to include the Safe Streets for All Action Plan and authorize expenditures in the amount of $378,400.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council approve an amendment to the Community Investment Program to include the Safe Streets for All Action Plan and authorize expenditures from the Street Improvements Fund.

The Safe Streets for All Action Plan will involve retaining an outside consultant to update and bring the City’s current Multijurisdictional Road Safety Plan into compliance with the federal Safe Streets for All program requirements. This effort will position the City to pursue future federal funding opportunities for street safety improvements.

BACKGROUND
In 2022, the federal government passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which established the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Program. The SS4A Program provides approximately $5 billion in funding nationwide over federal fiscal years 2022 through 2026 and is focused on preventing roadway fatalities and serious injuries.

To be eligible for SS4A implementation grant funding for roadway safety improvements, applicants are required to have a comprehensive Safety Action Plan in place. The City of Clovis has adopted its portion of the Multijurisdictional Road Safety Plan to serve as its Safety Action Plan; however, the current plan does not fully meet the requirements of the SS4A Progr am. As a result, staff determined it would be in the City’s best interest to pursue SS4A grant funding to update the existing plan and bring it into compliance with federal program requirements. 57 AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.

The City of Clovis was selected as a funding recipient during the second round of SS4A awards in Fiscal Year 2024/25. Due to staff turnover at the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and subsequent contract revisions, there was a delay in formally accepting the awarded funds. Since that time, the City has coordinated with FHWA to secure the funding, which will be provided on a reimbursement basis, and is now prepared to begin drafting the Request for Proposals (RFP) to retain a consultant for this project. Prior to initiating this work, a budget amendment is required to incorporate the project into the Community Investment Program.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City was awarded $302,720.00 under the Safe Streets for All Grant program and committed to a match of $75,680.00 bringing the total anticipated project cost up to $378,400.00. The City will utilize Measure C dollars to fund its local match commitment.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The City has finalized the agreement with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to begin working on this awarded project. A budget amendment is needed to authorize expenditures in the Street Improvements Fund for the addition of the Safe Streets for All Action Plan.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Funds will be appropriated and accounted for in the City of Clovis 2025 -2026 CIP Budget as specified in this staff report. Staff will work with the City’s Finance team to set up an account and begin reporting for reimbursement to the FHWA, Safe Streets for All program.

SUBJECT: Planning and Development Services – Approval – Res. 26-___, Approving a Third Amendment to the Consultant Agreement with LSA for the Preparation of the Environmental Impact Report for the Heritage Grove H -Land Specific Plan for a change in scope of services in the amount of $234,745.44 for a total contract amo unt of $840,730.44, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the amendment.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving a third amendment to the consultant agreement between the City of Clovis and LSA for the preparation of the Environmental Impact Report for the Heritage Grove H -Land Specific Plan , and authorize the City Manager to sign the amendment.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In September 2021, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a consultant agreement with LSA for the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Heritage Grove H-Land Specific Plan (H -Land Specific Plan), herein referred to as “Pro ject.” Since that time, the applicant’s evolving plans have required multiple revisions to the project scope and corresponding budget adjustments.

The proposed amendment exceeds the City Manager’s approval threshold and thus requires City Council authorization. The original contract amount of $467,985 was previously amended in August 2024 to increase the contract amount by $50,000 ($517,985 total), to cover additional traffic related analysis and services by LSA , and in July 2025 to increase the co ntract amount by $88,000 ($605,985 total), to cover further changes in the scope of services.

This amendment reflects additional changes in the scope of services to include environmental analysis associated with the addition of a subdivision tract map, in the amount of $234,745.44, thus increasing the contract total to $840,730.44. This amendment additionally extends the term of the agreement to March 2027 to accommodate the additional services required by the 61 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.

BACKGROUND
In April 2021, the City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for preparation of an EIR to assess the potential environmental impacts of the H -Land Specific Plan . Following the RFP, the City Council approved the contract with LSA to complete the EIR. Since then, the applicant’s evolving plans have necessitated multiple revisions to the project scope and corresponding budget adjustments.

Original Contract
 Authorized by: Council (September 2021)

Subject: Proposal to Prepare an Environmental Impact Report for the H-Land Specific Plan in Clovis, California
Dear Ms. Cha-Haydostian:

LSA is pleased to submit this proposal to prepare the environmental impact report (EIR) for the proposed H-Land Specific Plan Project (project) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This letter proposal summarizes our understanding of the proposed project and discusses the individual tasks that LSA will complete as part of the analysis. Kyle Simpson, Principal, will serve as Principal-in-Charge. Brianna Shaw, Senior Environmental Planner, will serve as Project Manager and will prepare the analysis with assistance from other LSA staff. LSA’s in-house technical specialists will prepare the technical studies as described in Task 2.0 in the scope of services.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
It is LSA’s understanding that the project will be analyzed using a hybrid environmental impact report (EIR) that covers both programmatic and project-level impacts of a master development plan for the City of Clovis (City). The EIR will analyze the development of approximately 892 acres of agricultural land into residential and mixed-use development (Master Plan Area). The full build-out of the Master Plan Area would allow for a maximum of approximately 8,320 dwelling units, 940,000 square feet of retail, and 570,000 square feet of commercial/office space. Approximately 4,800 dwelling units, 270,000 square feet of retail, and 200,000 square feet of commercial/office will be analyzed at project-level with tract maps available; the remaining build-out (approximately 3,500 dwelling units, 670,000 square feet of retail, and 370,000 square feet of commercial/office) will be analyzed at program-level, anticipated to be developed in the future.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
The following provides a detailed scope of work, schedule, and estimated budget for the preparation a hybrid program-project EIR for the H-Land Specific Plan and associated tract maps.

TASK 1.0: PROJECT KICK-OFF, DATA COLLECTION, AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION LSA will review previously collected background information, new data and build-out projections, and coordinate with City staff to hold a kickoff meeting, as described below.

Exhibit A
67 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.

9/9/25
2 1.1: Kick-off Meeting
LSA will meet with the City staff and Project Applicant team to discuss expectations regarding the tasks to be undertaken as part of the revised environmental documentation effort. During this meeting, LSA will do the following:
• Confirm the revised Scope of Work and expectations for use of any previously prepared technical materials or other background materials that may be available for the area. • Discuss the significance criteria for each topic to be addressed in the EIR. • Gather relevant information and data if there is information LSA has not yet received. • Discuss the City’s desired schedule for the review process. Items to discuss include project planning, coordination, and schedule, including establishing target dates for re-issuance of the Notice of Preparation (NOP), the Scoping Meeting, and release of the Draft EIR.

Following the kickoff meeting, LSA will provide a summary memorandum to the City.

1.2: Data Collection and Background Information Review
LSA will review existing environmental documents, regulations, and plans. These include, but are not limited to previous technical studies, previous environmental documents prepared for the project area, the documents of nearby projects, and the City’s General Plan TASK 2.0: NOTICE OF PREPARATION AND SCOPING MEETING
LSA will work closely with City staff to revise and reissue the Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the proposed project and attend a scoping meeting, as described below.

2.1: Notice of Preparation
LSA will prepare a revised Notice of Preparation in accordance with the requirements of CEQA.

Project information will include all available details of the proposed project, including a discussion of the hybrid program-project approach for the analysis to be included in the EIR.

2.2: Scoping Meeting
LSA will participate in a public EIR scoping meeting. LSA will revise previously developed projects materials, including handouts that may include an overview of the objectives of CEQA, the EIR process and schedule, and the topics to be addressed in the EIR. It is assumed that LSA will make a short presentation at the scoping meeting that outlines the project’s environmental review requirements and process. LSA will take minutes and will submit the scoping meeting summary memorandum outlining the key issues and topics related to the environmental review. The City will be responsible for meeting logistics, such as location, time, day, and refreshments (if any).

Following the 30-day comment period on the NOP, LSA will review all comments, recommend any needed changes to the proposed Scope of Work, and ensure that all submitted concerns are adequately covered by the EIR.
68 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.

9/9/25
3 2.3: Scope of Work Refinement
It may be necessary to refine the work program in accordance with information compiled under Task 1.0, as well as in response to comments received on the NOP. Upon receipt and review of all of the comments on the NOP, and taking into consideration comments heard at the scoping meeting, LSA will work with the City staff to refine the scope of work and budget, if necessary, to address any environmental issues that are not yet adequately addressed in this work program.

TASK 3.0: PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND ALTERNATIVES
LSA will work closely with the City staff to develop a Project Description for the EIR and project alternatives to be analyzed in the EIR, as described below.

3.1: Project Description
LSA will prepare a Project Description that details the purpose, phasing, and physical elements of the proposed project. The Project Description will include a map showing the location and boundaries of the Master Plan Area and a general description of the proposed project’s technical and environmental characteristics. LSA will work closely with the City to ensure that the Project Description provides a level of detail appropriate to describe the proposed project. As part of the Project Description, LSA will work with the City staff to prepare a list of project objectives consistent with the City’s goals for the proposed project.

The Project Description will also include a statement briefly describing the intended uses of the EIR, including a list of agencies expected to use the EIR, a list of permits and other approvals required to implement the proposed project, and a list of related environmental review and consultation steps required by federal, State, or local laws, regulations, and policies. LSA will submit a draft of the Project Description to the City for review and acceptance before the LSA Team begins conducting any impact analyses.

3.2: Alternatives Development
The LSA Team will identify and evaluate up to three alternatives to the proposed project, one of which will be the CEQA-required No Project Alternative. LSA will work with the City staff to develop the project alternatives that would reduce potential environmental impacts.

TASK 4.0: TECHNICAL STUDIES
Once project components are determined, and City staff provides input on the Master Plan, LSA will prepare technical studies for the Master Plan Area. Detailed scopes of work for the technical studies listed below will be reviewed once project components are determined, and if additional studies are required an augment may be needed.

LSA will submit one digital copy of the draft technical studies to City staff for review as in Microsoft Word (MS Word) and Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). Based on one set of consolidated comments from the City, LSA will prepare final technical studies to be included as appendices to the Draft EIR.
69 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.

9/9/25
4 4.1: Air Quality, Energy, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Development activity associated with the proposed project could increase pollutant concentrations in Clovis through increased vehicle trips and building operations. Construction activities associated with development of the proposed project, including grading and ground disturbance, could increase concentrations of particulate matter. This increase could contribute to existing air pollution in the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin. LSA will prepare an Air Quality, Energy, and Greenhouse Gas Technical Analysis for the proposed project in response to the Environmental Checklist questions.

Typically, an individual project does not generate sufficient greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to influence global climate change significantly on its own; therefore, the issue of global climate change is cumulative in nature. Implementation of the proposed project, through construction and operational activities, would generate GHG emissions that would cumulatively contribute to global climate change. LSA will also evaluate the proposed project’s compliance with applicable energy efficiency standards and whether the proposed project would result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources.

The draft Air Quality, Energy, and Greenhouse Gas Technical Analysis will be included as sections of the EIR document. Any supporting technical analyses, such as modeling output, will be included as an appendix to the EIR. Following the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District’s (SJVAPCD) Guide for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts (GAMAQI), LSA will identify existing air quality and GHG conditions and potential air quality, GHG emissions, and energy impacts resulting from the proposed project by undertaking the following subtasks:
• Describe Existing Environmental Setting: LSA will provide a summary of information related to air quality and global climate change along with the climate/meteorological conditions in the project vicinity.
• Describe the Existing Regulatory Framework: The existing regulatory framework for air quality and global climate change will identify applicable federal, State, and City of Fresno policies, regulations, and programs.
• Determine the Project's Consistency with Adopted Plans. LSA will review adopted plans related to clean air and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the State of California and the SJVAPCD to determine the project's consistency with these plans. • Assess Project Construction Emissions. Construction activities associated with the proposed project would generate increased particulate emissions associated with site preparation, grading, soil hauling, and other construction activities on the project area. Construction equipment exhaust would also be a source of air pollution. LSA will calculate the regional construction emissions using the California Emissions Estimator Model version 2022.1 (CalEEMod).
• Assess Project Operation-period Air Quality Impacts. The proposed project would generate new vehicular trips within the region. Regional emissions of criteria air pollutants associated with long-term operations from vehicle trips will be calculated with CalEEMod. In addition, emissions 70 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.

9/9/25
5 associated with stationary sources, such as on-site energy consumption and landscaping equipment, will be estimated.
• Conduct a Construction Health Risk Assessment. Based on the anticipated construction activity and the proximity of nearby residential receptors to the proposed project site, LSA will prepare a construction health risk assessment (HRA) that will summarize cancer risk and non-cancer risk (chronic and acute) and will compare the results of the HRA with the SJVAPCD’s recommended thresholds. Supporting technical information will be included in the Air Quality section of the EIR. Modeling files will be attached as an appendix to the EIR. • Assess Project Greenhouse Gas Emissions. LSA will evaluate the proposed project's impacts on GHG emissions by providing a quantitative assessment of GHG emissions using CalEEMod. LSA will further analyze the potential GHG emissions impacts of the proposed project using the project attribute thresholds of significance recommended by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District to show if a project is implementing a “fair share” of GHG emission reductions necessary to support achievement of State emission reduction goals and policies. LSA will consider any proposed building design features that would contribute to a reduction in GHG emissions. In addition, since the proposed project would require a General Plan Amendment and rezone, LSA will estimate GHG emissions under both the proposed project and the maximum buildout of the existing designation using CalEEMod to determine if the proposed project would result in a significant impact related to GHG emissions. • Analyze Energy Use. LSA will evaluate the proposed project’s impacts related to energy use in response to the environmental checklist questions. This discussion will address the proposed project’s compliance with applicable energy efficiency standards and will cross reference the discussion provided in the Greenhouse Gas Emissions section, as necessary. Energy data estimated using the CalEEMod model will be reported.
• Determine Project's Consistency with Energy Efficiency Standards. The analysis will also address the project’s compliance with applicable energy efficiency standards and will cross reference the discussion provided in the GHG emissions discussion as necessary. For purposes of this analysis, impacts to energy resources will be considered to be significant if the project would result in the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of fuel or energy. • Identify Mitigation Measures. LSA will identify, where necessary, practical mitigation measures to address any significant project or cumulative impacts. Mitigation measures designed to reduce the project’s short-term construction and long-term air quality and GHG impacts to the extent feasible will be identified. Mitigation measures established by the SJVAPCD for dust suppression will be identified to reduce construction impacts. Both an evaluation of the potential mitigation measures and a discussion of their effectiveness will be provided.

4.2: Noise and Vibration
LSA will prepare a noise and vibration impact analysis in the Noise section of the EIR that quantifies existing ambient noise levels in the project area, summarizes applicable noise and vibration standards, evaluate potential short-term construction and long-term operation noise and vibration 71 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.

9/9/25
6 impacts, and identify avoidance, minimization, or mitigation measures. The noise and vibration analysis will be completed by undertaking the following subtasks:
• Identify City Noise and Vibration Standards. LSA will review and discuss applicable City noise standards, goals, and policies in the General Plan Noise Element and the Municipal Code for land uses adjacent to the project site. Also, LSA will discuss noise and vibration standards in the 2018 Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual for land uses adjacent to the project site.
• Conduct Ambient Noise Survey. LSA will conduct up to eight long-term ambient noise level measurements within the project area. The long-term ambient noise level will be documented for 24 hours. Observed noise sources within the project will be identified. The ambient noise levels will be used to assess the existing ambient noise environment in the project vicinity. • Evaluate Construction Noise Impacts. Noise levels generated from project construction will be evaluated based on the equipment expected to be used, its distance to existing adjacent off-site uses, length of a specific construction task, equipment power type (gasoline or diesel engine), load factor, and percentage of time in use. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) recommended equipment noise emission levels will be used to describe construction noise levels in terms of maximum instantaneous noise levels (Lmax) and hourly equivalent continuous sound levels (Leq). Potential construction noise impacts will be assessed based on the City’s Municipal Code and FTA recommendations.
• Evaluate Construction Vibration Impacts. Vibration levels generated from project construction will be evaluated based on the equipment expected to be used and its distance to existing adjacent off-site structures. The FTA-recommended equipment vibration levels will be used to describe construction vibration levels in terms of the peak particle velocity (PPV, measured in inches per second [in/sec]) and the vibration decibel level (VdB) for building damage and human annoyance, respectively. Potential construction vibration impacts will be assessed based on the sensitivity of the area directly adjacent to the project site and FTA recommendations. • Evaluate Aircraft Noise Impacts. Aircraft noise from nearby airports will be assessed based on the project location, the nearest airports, and the airport noise contour. • Evaluate Traffic Noise Impacts. Vehicular traffic will be assessed using the FHWA Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model (FHWA-RD-77-108, December 1978). Model input data needed include average daily traffic (ADT) volumes; day/night percentages of automobiles, medium trucks, and heavy trucks; vehicle speeds; ground attenuation factors; and roadway widths. The 24-hour weighted Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) or day-night average noise level (Ldn) along adjacent roadways will be tabulated. LSA will analyze project-related noise impacts on off-site sensitive land uses in the project vicinity.
• Evaluate Stationary Source Noise Impacts. Noise levels generated from on-site stationary sources will be evaluated based on the equipment expected to be used and its distance to existing adjacent off-site uses. Potential stationary noise impacts from on-site noise sources will be assessed based on the City’s Municipal Code noise standards. 72 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.

9/9/25
7 • Identify Reduction Measures. If necessary, LSA will identify avoidance, minimization, or mitigation measures designed to reduce short-term construction noise and vibration impacts and long-term stationary and mobile source noise and vibration impacts to acceptable levels.

4.3 Transportation Impact Analysis
The scope of work for the Transportation Impact Analysis has been previously approved by the City under a separate amendment. No changes or additional work related to the Transportation Impact Analysis is included in this scope of work.

4.4: Agricultural Resource Evaluation
LSA will prepare an Agricultural Resource Evaluation Technical Report to assess impacts to active farmland and California Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP) designations with implementation of the proposed project. The Project Applicant team is proposing to develop a master development plan within the City’s Heritage Grove Growth Area to facilitate the future annexation and development of approximately 892 acres. The majority of the 892 acre project area is currently occupied by agricultural uses consisting of almond orchards. Based on California Department of Conservation (DOC) Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP) information, the Project area includes land that is designated as Unique Farmland, Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, and Farmland of Local Importance. According to publicly available information from the Department of Conservation, the project area does not include land that is under a Williamson Act contract.

4.4.1: LESA Model Preparation
LSA will evaluate farmland impacts to agricultural land within the Project area using the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA) model prepared by the California Department of Conservation. The LESA model is used to help determine if impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects. In preparing the LESA model, LSA will coordinate with the County, the land owners, the California DOC, and on-line data sources to collect data about the project area including current irrigation practices on the project area, the source of irrigation water, the seasonal availability of water, soil types and ratings, and the protected status of surrounding land. Results of the LESA Model will be provided in the Farmland Impact Analysis Report (Task 4.4) and will provide a quantitative conclusion as to whether the conversion of Unique Farmland, Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, and Farmland of Local Importance to a non-agricultural use would result in a significant impact.

4.4.2: Farmland Impact Analysis Report
LSA will prepare a Farmland Impact Analysis Report that will evaluate the impacts (i.e., farmland conversion to a nonagricultural use) to Unique Farmland, Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, and Farmland of Local Importance resulting from the development of the proposed Project. The Farmland Impact Analysis Report will include a discussion of the existing environmental setting, the relevant current federal, State and local regulations pertaining to agricultural resources, the methods used to assess the Project-related impacts, and the potential short-term agricultural 73 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.

9/9/25
8 impacts associated with Project construction, the long-term effects associated with Project operation, and the cumulative impacts associated with Project implementation.

The Farmland Impact Analysis Report will be prepared in accordance with CEQA Guidelines. The CEQA Guidelines, Appendix G, indicate that the conversion of Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance to non-agricultural uses could be considered a significant impact.

The LESA Model will be included as an appendix to the Farmland Impact Analysis Report to support conclusions on potential impacts to farmland due to Project implementation. Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines also indicate that a project could result in significant impacts to agricultural resources and farmland if the proposed project: 1) conflicts with agricultural zoning; 2) conflicts with a Williamson Act contract; or 3) involves changes in the existing environment, which due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use. LSA will evaluate the Project’s impacts to agricultural land within the Project area in accordance with the threshold questions provided in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. If applicable, Mitigation Measures will be provided in the Farmland Impact Analysis Report, to reduce impacts to agricultural resources due to implementation of the proposed Project. LSA will assist City staff to prepare mitigation measures that are consistent with the General Plan and that are feasible and mutually acceptable to reduce the anticipated impact, if necessary.

LSA will submit a draft Agricultural Resource Evaluation to the City via email as a MS Word file and PDF file and will respond to one round of comments from the City on the draft technical report.

4.5: Biological Resources
LSA will conduct a database review for potential biological resources known or with potential to occur in the project area. Sources will include, the California Natural Diversity Database, California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants, and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation list of federal endangered threatened species that may be affected by the project area, as well as other pertinent published and unpublished data regarding biological resources.

The results of the database searches will be field verified through a combined pedestrian/windshield survey of the project area plus a 500-foot buffer, access permitting. The location of any special- status biological and aquatic resources detected, as well as all vegetation communities and other land cover types within the biological study area, will be mapped. Protocol surveys for special status plant and animal species are not included in this scope. If the results of the reconnaissance survey determine that protocol surveys are warranted, a separate scope and fee will be prepared.

As part of the field work, potential jurisdictional waters of the United States as well as streambeds, riparian vegetation, or wetlands subject to State jurisdiction, and/or features considered sensitive under local ordinances that are identified within the study area would also be assessed in the field.

Within the project boundary is Fresno Irrigation District Canal Enterprise No. 109 canal which may be affected by the project. This canal, and any other potentially jurisdictional waters encountered, will be delineated to determine its jurisdictional status. The information will be incorporated into the report described below. A formal aquatic resources delineation report is not proposed at this time as it is unlikely that this feature is regulated by the United States Army Corps of Engineers or 74 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.

9/9/25
9 Regional Water Quality Control Board. If it turns out that the canal or any other feature may be waters of the United States or State, a formal delineation report may be required, and a separate scope and fee will be provided. If the canal is regulated by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the report described below will be sufficient.

The results of the database search and field survey efforts will be summarized in a Biological Resources Evaluation (BRE) report designed to comply with CEQA. The BRE will include a general description of the habitats and land cover types occurring in the project area, a graphic of representative site photographs showing the existing conditions in the project area, a figure displaying the location of plant communities and other land cover types on site, and a discussion of any special-interest biological resources observed or with potential to occur within the direct and indirect disturbance limits of the project. Project-related impacts to biological resources will be evaluated in accordance with current CEQA Statute and Guidelines and other relevant federal, State, and local regulations. As applicable, measures will be identified for avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation of project impacts. The BRE will be an attachment to the environmental document, with the key CEQA impact findings summarized in the text of the environmental document.

4.6: Cultural Resources
LSA will prepare an Archaeological Survey Report (ASR) and a Historical Resources Evaluation (HRE) to identify previously-recorded cultural resources in the project are as well as identify, evaluate and record unidentified cultural resources, and if warranted, assess potential impacts to archeological and built environment cultural resources.

4.6.1: Archaeological Survey Report
LSA will conduct research and a field survey and will complete reporting tasks, as described below, for the project area. As appropriate, tasks below will reveal information that will be used to also prepare a draft and final HRE. LSA will prepare a draft and final ASR by completing the following subtasks:
• Research. LSA will conduct the following research:
○ California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS): A CHRIS records search will be conducted at the South San Joaquin Valley Information Center (SSJVIC) to identify any previous cultural resources or cultural resources studies in the project area. ○ Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC): LSA will contact the NAHC to conduct a Sacred Lands File search, which will identify the presence or absence of locations that may have traditional or cultural value to tribal organizations, regardless of archaeological value, in or adjacent to the project area.
○ Local Interested Parties Consultation: LSA will contact the Fresno County Historical Society and the Clovis-Big Dry Creek Historical Society to inquire about the history of the project area.
75 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.

9/9/25
10 ○ Review background information. LSA will review background information, historical maps and records, cultural resources inventories, and pertinent literature to determine the precontact and historic context and assess the archaeological site sensitivity of the project area. LSA will also review local planning documents (such as Specific Plans or Cultural Resources Elements of Specific Plans or General Plans) that include the project area for important contextual information of historic-period resources. If available, Fresno County Assessor’s information and/or building permits for parcels within the project area will be requested from the City for use in mapping location of historic-period buildings in the project area.
• Field Survey. LSA will utilize results from the record search conducted for the 892 acre area for the project-level archaeological analysis. LSA will utilize two archaeologists to conduct a pedestrian field survey of the project area. Based on aerial photographs, the majority of the 892 acre project site (all but approximately 150 ac) is actively used for agriculture. As such, LSA will not intensively survey (using transects spaced 15 meters [49.2 ft] or less) the entire project area because it is assumed that the majority of the project area has been subject to disturbance and heavy compaction from agricultural use and equipment. Instead, LSA archaeologists will intensively survey any portions of the approximately 150 ac of nonactive agricultural land within the 892 acre project area and will conduct a spot check of sediments in the remainder of the project area with active agricultural lands. Should the results of the background research or field survey indicate that a full survey of the project area is necessary, a scope change and augmentation will be required.
• Archaeological Study Report. LSA will prepare a stand-alone Archaeological Study Report that will describe the methods, results, and recommendations of the investigations, especially with regard to additional work that may be necessary to address the requirements of CEQA. The draft report will be submitted to the City in PDF format. Following resolution of any comments, the final report will be resubmitted as a PDF file and will also be submitted to the SSJVIC in fulfillment of a requirement to access its archives.

The scope of work is based upon negative results, a CEQA-level effort, no involvement of federal or state agencies and that the City will conduct all tribal consultation unassisted. In the event circumstances develop requiring any unanticipated effort not included in this scope (including, but not limited to positive results, expansion of the project area, a requirement for surveying additional lands, an OHP ARMR format report, response to comments from third-party [peer] reviewer or tribe, protracted coordination with City or other entities), a contract amendment will be necessary and a schedule adjustment may also be needed.

Optional Task: DPR Forms
LSA can prepare documentation of a maximum of five archaeological isolates that may be identified during the field survey. If identified, archaeological isolates would be recorded on State of California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) Series 523 forms in accordance with the guidelines established by the State Office of Historic Preservation (OHP). The DPR forms would be attached to the archaeological report as a confidential appendix. If the City would like to include this optional task, a budget augment will be required.
76 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.

9/9/25
11 4.6.2 Historical Resources Evaluation
LSA will prepare an HRE to (1) assess whether the project area contains buildings, structures, or objects that are in or eligible for inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources either as individual resources or as contributing elements to a potential historic district and ascertain if it appears to qualify as a “historical resource” as defined in California Public Resources Code §21084.1; and, if necessary, (2) evaluate whether the proposed project would cause a “substantial adverse change” (as defined in Chapter 14 California Code of Regulations §15064.5(b)) to the resource.

LSA will prepare an HRE that will rely, as much as possible, on previous research, maps, plans, drawings, and other background information provided by the Project Applicant team or property owner, to characterize and understand the historical and architectural context of the study area.

Any property-specific data gaps in previously prepared information will be addressed through supplemental research. The impacts analysis portion of the HRE, if warranted, will rely on conceptual illustrations, plans, and visual simulations for the proposed project provided by you, the applicant, or a designated representative.

Based on a preliminary review of aerial photographs, USGS topographic quadrangles, and specific parcel information, LSA identified the following nine parcels and two segments of an irrigation canal within the project area:

1. A single-family residence constructed in 1958 on a 2.295-acre parcel at 3788 East Shepherd Avenue (APN 556-020-085);

2. A single-family residence constructed in 1963 on a 1.014-acre parcel at 3602 East Shepherd Avenue (APN 556-020-050);

3. A single-family residence constructed circa 1920 on a 63.1-acre parcel at 3491 North Minnewawa Avenue (APN 556-020-180);

4. A single-family residence constructed in 1933 on a 18.29-acre parcel at 9788 North Willow Avenue (APN 556-010-390);

5. A single-family residence constructed in 1934 on a 32.25-acre parcel at 3328 East Perrin Road (APN 556-010-065);

6. A single-family residence constructed in 1968 on a 3-acre parcel at 3490 East Perrin Road (APN 556-010-085);

7. A single-family residence constructed in 1930 on a 39.37-acre parcel at 9791 North Minnewawa Avenue (APN 556-020-100);

8. Two, single-story shop buildings constructed circa 1960 and an equipment storage yard on a portion of a 79.09-acre parcel at 9601 North Minnewawa Avenue (APN 556-010-09); 77 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.

9/9/25
12 9. A remnant brick arch commemorating the site of the Garfield School constructed in 1912 on a

1.53-acre parcel at 9001 Noth Minnewawa Avenue (APN 556-020-270). The school house burned in 1990, the arch and entrance steps remained ; and

10. Two segments of Enterprise Cancel No. 109, an unlined irrigation canal managed by the Fresno Irrigation District.

The tasks listed below will be completed as part of this work program. To the extent possible, LSA will utilize information obtained via the ASR process described above, to maximize efficiencies and prevent redundant research:
• Records search. As described above, LSA will request staff of the SSJVIC to conduct a records search. The SSJVIC, an affiliate of the California Office of Historic Preservation, is the official state repository of cultural resources reports and records for Fresno County. The records search will identify recorded cultural resources and studies within and adjacent to the approximately 892-acre project area.
• Review other inventories and directories. Cultural resource inventories will be reviewed to determine if the project area contains listed resources. These inventories will include the California Inventory of Historic Resources (California Department of Parks and Recreation 1976), the Office of Historic Preservation’s Five Views: An Ethnic Historic Site Survey for California (1988), California Historical Landmarks (1996), California Points of Historical Interest (1992), and the Built Environment Resources Directory for Fresno County (which contains the listings of the National Register of Historic Places, National Historic Landmarks, California Register of Historic Resources, California Historical Landmarks, and California Points of Historical Interest). • Property-focused research. Additional research will be conducted, as necessary, at the San Joaquin Valley Heritage & Genealogy Center in the Main Branch of the Fresno County Main Library and the Special Collections Research Center, Madden Library, at Fresno State University.

LSA will rely on sources at these locations to inform, in part, the land use history of the project area.
• Architectural field review. An LSA architectural historian will conduct a field survey to review and document the form, materials, and construction style of the resources listed above, as well as to identify any structural modifications that may have occurred over time. The survey will also examine their architectural context and character of the surrounding area. • Eligibility Evaluation. Following the research and field review, LSA will prepare a historic context statement for the properties listed above and evaluate them for inclusion in the California Register. The methods, results, and recommendations of LSA’s study will be documented in a cover letter report. The building will be formally recorded on official State of California Department of Parks and Recreation 523 Series Form records and attached to the cover letter report which will be submitted to the NWIC to fulfill an archives access agreement.

Optional Task: Impacts Assessment.
78 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.

9/9/25
13 Should review of the evidence suggest that one, or several, properties in the project area appear to qualify as a historical resource under CEQA, LSA can conduct an optional task of preparing an impacts assessment to determine whether a significant impact would result as the result of project implementation. The impacts analysis will utilize the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties to inform any appropriate design recommendations and/or preservation-oriented alternatives for the proposed project as described in Section 15064.5(b) of the California Code of Regulations. If the City would like to include this optional task, a detailed budget augment will be required.

Assumptions:
• LSA will spend up to eight hours total to address one set of non-contradictory comments from City staff on the draft HRE. If more than eight hours are required to address comments, LSA will request your authorization to proceed on a time-and-materials basis (i.e., the cost for additional time, if necessary, is not included as part of the fee presented above). • An LSA Architectural Historian who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards (36 CFR Part 61) for History and Architectural History will be available to participate in meetings with the applicant and/or City staff on a time-and-materials basis. • Additional studies that may be required by the City staff, the Fresno County Planning Commission, or other local government entities, are not included in this scope. • LSA will be provided with visual simulations, plans, drawings, and/or illustrations that convey a conceptual sense of the design, massing, and stylistic aspects of the proposed construction, as available.

TASK 5.0: ADMINISTRATIVE DRAFT EIR
Consistent with Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines, LSA will conduct an analysis of the proposed project’s potential environmental impacts in the following resources topic areas:
 Aesthetics
 Agriculture and Forestry Resources
 Air Quality
 Biological Resources
 Cultural Resources
 Energy
 Geology and Soils
 GHG Emissions
 Hazards and Hazardous Materials
 Hydrology and Water Quality
 Land Use and Planning
 Mineral Resources
 Noise
 Population and Housing
 Public Services
 Recreation
 Transportation
 Tribal Cultural Resources
 Utilities and Service Systems
 Wildfire

Analysis completed under Task 4.0, Technical Studies, will be incorporated into the section of applicable resource topic areas. The setting section for each topic will describe the current conditions of the project area, which form the baseline for the analysis. Each impact analysis will 79 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.

9/9/25
14 evaluate the potential environmental effects resulting from construction and operation of the proposed project, and feasible mitigation measures will be identified as necessary.

Each topical section will also include a discussion of cumulative impacts. The analysis of cumulative effects will address the potential impacts associated with the proposed project in conjunction with other projects that are under construction, approved, or reasonably foreseeable. The preferred methodology for conducting the cumulative impacts analysis will be developed and agreed upon during the early stages of the EIR preparation. The EIR will cover the topics listed above, and the following key topic areas will include detailed technical analysis.

Hydrology and Water Quality: LSA will prepare the Hydrology and Water Quality section of the EIR, which will discuss the project area watershed, groundwater basin, receiving waters, floodplain, and drainage; applicable regulations; and project impacts and mitigation related to hydrology, water quality, groundwater, and flooding. LSA will evaluate the need for project mitigation measures and additional best management practices (BMPs) to ensure compliance with federal, State, and local National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements during construction and operation. The Hydrology and Water Quality section will incorporate information from hydrology and geotechnical reports provided by the Project Applicant, if available. Specifically, the impact analysis will incorporate information on disturbed soil area; new impervious surface area; and site design, source control, Low Impact Development, and/or treatment BMPs. The impact analysis will also incorporate information on existing and proposed drainage patterns, existing and proposed rate and volume of storm water runoff, and capacity of downstream storm drain systems from the proposed project’s hydrology report and information provided by the City. Information on depth to groundwater and the potential for groundwater dewatering during construction will be obtained from available documentation.

Utilities and Service Systems: LSA will prepare the Utilities and Service Systems section of the EIR based on input from the City related to potable water and sanitary sewer systems. In addition, LSA will rely on existing documentation and research to address the proposed project’s potential impacts on storm water and solid waste collection.

Alternatives: The LSA Team will evaluate the three project alternatives developed under Task 3.2, Alternatives Development. According to the State CEQA Guidelines, alternatives can be evaluated in less detail than the proposed project, and the discussion for each issue topic will be of sufficient detail to evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of each alternative and to provide some qualitative conclusions regarding the alternatives. A summary table will be included in Alternatives analysis that identifies the level of significance of each environmental topic for each alternative as compared to implementation of the proposed project. Based on this analysis, the Environmentally Superior Alternative will be identified (as required by CEQA).

TASK 6.0: SCREENCHECK DRAFT EIR
Following receipt of one set of consolidated and reconciled comments from the City on the Administrative Draft EIR, LSA will amend the Administrative Draft EIR and prepare a Screencheck Draft EIR to be reviewed by the City staff. Digital versions (MS Word format and PDF) of the Screencheck Draft will be provided. A PDF comparison version in underline and strikeout will also be 80 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.

9/9/25
15 provided for review by the City to verify that all requested changes have been made and all appendix materials, references, and final graphics are acceptable.

TASK 7.0: PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT EIR
Following receipt of one set of consolidated and reconciled comments from the City on the Screencheck Draft EIR, LSA will prepare a Public Review Draft EIR. LSA assumes that comments on the Screencheck Draft EIR will be limited mostly to clarifications, spelling, and other editorial comments and that no major changes to the substantive details of the proposed project or analysis would occur under this task.

TASK 8.0: FINAL EIR AND MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM Following the CEQA-required public review period of the Public Review Draft EIR, LSA will prepare the Final EIR and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), as described below.

8.1: Final Environmental Impact Report
Administrative Draft Final Environmental Impact Report: Following the completion of the 45-day public review period of the Public Review Draft EIR, the LSA Team will formulate responses to written comments from the public and public agencies on the Public Draft EIR. The Administrative Draft Final EIR will include the following: (1) a list of persons, organizations, and public agencies commenting on the Draft EIR; (2) copies of written comments received; (3) responses to environmental comments raised in the review process; and (4) any necessary text, table, or figure changes as an Errata to the Draft EIR. LSA will discuss the best approach to the responses document with the City following the close of the comment period.

LSA’s budget estimate shows the level of professional effort assumed for this task, considering the potential interest that the public might have in the Public Review Draft EIR. Should an unexpectedly large volume of comments be submitted (e.g., an organized letter-writing campaign by project opponents or a substantial package of comments by a law firm representing labor union interests), an adjustment in the budget (and/or use of contingency funds) to cover work beyond the assumed level would be needed. LSA will submit one digital version (in MS Word format and PDF) of the Administrative Draft Final EIR for City review.

Screencheck Draft Final Environmental Impact Report: After review by the City staff and transmittal of suggested revisions, LSA will amend the Administrative Final EIR and prepare a screencheck version for final review by the City staff. Digital versions (MS Word format and PDF) of the Screencheck Draft EIR will be provided. A PDF comparison version in underline and strikeout will also be provided for review by the City to verify that all requested changes have been made.

Final Environmental Impact Report: After review by the City staff and transmittal of suggested revisions, LSA will amend the Screencheck Draft Final EIR and prepare a final version. Digital versions will be prepared as PDF files and will be provided to the City for website posting. It is assumed that the City will be responsible for distribution of the Final EIR to the public and commenting agencies a minimum of 10 days prior to the final public hearing on the EIR. LSA will also provide any additional reference materials as PDF files and update the Administrative Record as needed. 81 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.

9/9/25
16 8.2: Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
LSA will a prepare an MMRP, which will identify responsibility for implementing and monitoring each mitigation measure, along with monitoring triggers and reporting frequency, subject to approval by the City staff. Monitoring will be dovetailed with existing processes of project development and review.

TASK 9.0: PUBLIC NOTICING
LSA will prepare all public notices required under CEQA, including, but not limited to, the NOP, Notice of Completion (NOC), Notice of Availability (NOA), and Notice of Determination (NOD). This task assumes one round of revisions for each notice prepared.

LSA will be responsible for any required submittals to the State Clearinghouse. The City staff will be responsible for mailing any of the notices locally, including Planning Commission and City Council noticing.

TASK 10.0: STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS AND FINDINGS OF FACT In compliance with CEQA, and based on an existing City template, LSA will prepare a Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC) and Findings of Fact, as necessary. This task assumes preparation of an Administrative, Screencheck, and Final Draft of each deliverable.

TASK 11.0: PUBLIC HEARINGS
LSA will attend two Planning Commission hearings and two City Council hearings. Prior to each hearing, LSA will work with the City staff to prepare a PowerPoint presentation related to the CEQA portion of the proposed project. During each hearing, LSA will assist the City in addressing CEQA- related questions or comments as they are received.

TASK 12.0: PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND MEETINGS
Mr. Simpson and Ms. Shaw will undertake a variety of general project management tasks throughout the process of preparing the EIR and presenting it to decision-makers. Mr. Simpson will provide input on scope, budget, and scheduling of the project and quality assurance for all work products. He will review all in-house prepared text, tables, and graphics before these materials are presented to the City as administrative review documents. He will be available for consultation on CEQA procedural matters as well as application of the CEQA Guidelines.

Ms. Shaw will be in charge of the day-to-day activities associated with the proposed Project. Project management tasks include regular client contact; oversight of team members; schedule coordination; contract negotiation and management; and development of products. As Project Manager, Ms. Shaw will attend all meetings and maintain a project schedule. She will monitor the project budget in light of progress in the project schedule and will communicate any potential deviations with the City in a timely manner. She will also provide direction to all team members that will ensure an internally consistent, coherent document. 82 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.

9/9/25
17 Mr. Simpson, Ms. Shaw, and LSA staff, as appropriate, will be available to meet with the project team to gather information, review progress, discuss project alternatives, review preliminary findings, discuss staff comments, and offer input into any discussions on project modifications. The proposed cost estimate includes attendance by both Mr. Simpson and Ms. Shaw at the project start- up meeting and the NOP scoping meeting(s) as detailed under Task 1.0 and Task 2.0, respectively. In addition, LSA has budgeted (under this task) for attendance at up to three in-person or teleconference team meetings with the City, the agendas and issues to be determined. In addition, this scope assumes bi-weekly check-in calls during heavy work periods in order to keep the City updated on progress and to resolve any issues that may be identified during LSA’s analysis.

SCHEDULE
The preliminary work schedule for preparation and completion of the environmental review process is attached. LSA will finalize the schedule, including deliverable dates with the City and Project Applicant team once we are authorized to proceed and the City provides an approved version of the draft Specific Plan and tract map that can be analyzed in the EIR. As shown in the attached schedule, LSA estimates that the EIR will be complete, and the proposed project can be considered for approval by the City in approximately 14 months.

BUDGET
The estimated cost for the preparation and completion of the environmental review process is attached. As shown, the estimated cost of the LSA team’s labor and direct expenses is $389,250. We have also identified a contingency amount of 10 percent of the total budget ($39,600). The amount would not be used without written authorization from the City. With the contingency amount, the total contract budget would be $435,650. LSA’s previously approved budget for the EIR and traffic study including Contract Amendment 1 through Contract Amendment 3, totals $605,985 of which $200,904.56, remains unbilled. Applying the unused budget to the requested budget for the hybrid EIR, LSA would require an increase in the overall EIR budget of $234,745.44.

As you review the proposal and compare the work scope with the line-item budget, if you find that there are ways of economizing or believe that expansions are needed, we would be glad to discuss suggestions for modifying both scope and budget. This proposed scope of work and cost estimate is valid for 90 days from the date included on page 1.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Fire Department
DATE: January 5, 2026
SUBJECT: Consider Approval - Res. 26-__, Accepting the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant award in the amount of $2,018,479.50 to hire six (6) firefighters for a period of three (3) years to staff a Fire Squad; Amending the FY 2025-2026 Budget to include the salary, benefits, and equipment needs paid through Measure Y funding; and Amending the Fire Department Position Allocation for the required additional Fire Personnel.

Staff: Chris Ekk, Fire Chief
Recommendation: Approve

ATTACHMENTS: 1. Res. 26-__

RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to approve a resolution accepting the SAFER Grant award to hire six (6) firefighters, amending the FY 2025-2026 Budget for the associated costs, and amend the Fire Department Position Allocation for the additional Fire Personnel.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Clovis Fire Department has been awarded a federal Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant to fully fund six (6) firefighter positions across three shifts.

This funding will support the deployment of a new fire squad at Fire Station 2, converting the station into a dual-company facility.

The addition of a squad was identified in the Department’s Five -Year Plan under Measure Y (June 2024), with implementation origina lly scheduled for FY 2026 –2027. Acceptance of the SAFER Grant accelerates this timeline, requiring funding to begin in March 2025 as part of the FY 2025 –2026 budget. Initial implementation will also require the purchase of personal protective equipment (PPE), furnishings, and operational equipment.

While the SAFER Grant provides funding for six firefighter positions for a three-year period, this staffing alone does not meet established squad staffing requirements. To comply with industry best practices and the Clovis Firefighters Association Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), 89 AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.
the Department will also need to add three (3) Fire Captain positions and three (3) Fire Engineer positions to the Position Allocation Plan to properly staff the new unit.

BACKGROUND
Over the past decade, the City’s geographic growth and increasing population have resulted in a steady rise in Fire Department demand, with 13,431 calls for service in 2024. As call volume has increased, response times have also trended upward as noted in the table below, a pattern that is expected to continue based on preliminary 2025 data.

Following voter approval of Measure Y in November 2024, the Fire Department conducted a strategic assessment to guide the use of Measure Y funding. This evaluation identified three primary objectives: (1) increasing staffing, (2) expanding services, and (3) improving community involvement. To address growing service demands and response time challenges, the Department prioritized adding one engine company and impleme nting fire squad companies in a phased approach during Years One and Two of Measure Y funding.

The additional engine company will be staffed through Measure Y, with hiring completed by February 1, 2026, and the unit placed in service at Fire Station 1 in March 2026. The next phase is the deployment of a fire squad company. Squad companies are a proven deployment model previously used by the Clovis Fire Department and consist of one Fire Captain and one Fire Engineer operating a smaller, highly mobile appar atus. This model provides faster response times, increased service capacity, and lower operating costs compared to traditional engine companies.

To support squad implementation, the Department applied for the federal Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergen cy Response (SAFER) Grant in November 2025. The SAFER program is intended to help fire departments meet national staffing and operational standards and improve response performance. On September 24, 2025, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) approved the City’s application in the amount of $2,018,479.50 to fund six (6) firefighter positions over a three-year period. The grant includes a local cost share of 25 percent in Years 90 AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.

One and Two and 65 percent in Year Three, requires the City to maintain minimum staffing levels through March 23, 2029, and reimburses eligible salary and benefit costs quarterly.

The SAFER grant performance period begins March 23, 2026. The City plans to hire the six SAFER-funded firefighters at the start of the performance period, allowing them to complete training and job shadowing prior to deployment. Concurrently, the City will fund three (3) Fire Captain positions and three (3) Fire Engineer positions through Measure Y to meet established staffing requirements and industry best practices for a squad company.

With staffing, promotions, and equipment in place, the fire squad will be placed in service on May 1, 2026, operating out of Fire Station 2. Fire Station 2 was selected due to its high call volume and frequency of co ncurrent incidents. The station was designed to support dual - company operations and will require only minor furnishings, equipment, and the assignment of a reserve apparatus to support squad deployment.

FISCAL IMPACT
By accepting the SAFER award, FEMA will reimburse the City of Clovis a total of $2,018,479.50 over the three -year grant period from March 24, 2026, through March 23, 2029. Due to the required 25 percent local cost share in Year One, the fiscal impact to the Fiscal Year 2025–2026 General Fund is $140,000.

In addition, the City will be required to increase the Fire Department’s Measure Y budget to fund squad staffing consisting of three (3) fire captains and three (3) engineers. This includes promotional costs and all required equipment neces sary to outfit the apparatus and station to place the squad in service. The total fiscal impact to Measure Y funding for Fiscal Year 2025 – 2026 is $909,000.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The acceptance of the SAFER award provides a cost -effective pathway for t he staffing of the new squad deployment which aims to reduce response times and provide enhanced service throughout the community through a cost-effective unit.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL

1. Finance will adjust the FY 2025-2026 budget according to the budget amendment, which accounts for personnel salary, benefits, and all equipment needed.

2. Personnel will adjust the position allocation for the Fire Department.

3. The Clovis Fire Department will hire six (6) firefighters.

4. The Clovis Fire Department will promote t hree (3) engineers and three (3) fire captains effective May 1, 2026.

5. The Clovis Fire Department will place its first fire squad with staffing of one (1) fire captain and one (1) fire engineer per shift in service on May 1, 2026.

2. Proposed First Amendment to City Manager Employment Agreement

RECOMMENDATION
For City Council to approve the First Amendment to the City Manager Employment Agreement (Attachment 2), which sets forth the terms and conditions of the employment of Andrew Haussler as City Manager, effective January 1, 2026.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Council appointed Andrew Haussler as the City Manager effective January 1, 2025, and approved an employment agreement which sets forth the terms and conditions of that appointment (Attachment 1). The Council originally set the City Manager’s annual salary at Step 1 of the City Manager’s salary schedule that was in effect on January 1, 2025. Approving this First Amendment will place the City Manager at Step 3 of the salary schedule effective January 1, 2026 (Attachment 2), with a monthly salary of $24,234. Also, the current agreement includes a three-year employment term. The proposed First Amendment removes the three- year term but retains the provisions that allow either party to terminate the agreement and Mr.

Haussler’s employment, with or without cause, in accordance with the termination provisions in the agreement.

BACKGROUND
The City Council appointed Andrew Haussler as the City Manager effective January 1, 2025, and approved an employment agreement which sets forth the terms and conditions of that appointment.

96 AGENDA ITEM NO. 15.

After completing the annual evaluation of the City Manager’s performance, the current agreement authorizes the City Manager and City Council to amend the agreement to implement a step advancement on the City Manager’s salary schedule. The proposed First Amendment includes placing Mr. Haussler at Step 3 of the current City Manager salary schedule. Below is an excerpt of the City Manager’s monthly salary from the current Management Salary Schedule.

Position Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5
City Manager 21,981 23,080 24,234 25,446 26,718

It should be noted that since the approval of the City Manager Employment Agreement on December 16, 2024, the City Council approved changes to the salary schedule with a 3% cost of living increase provided to all full -time employees effective July 1, 2025, which resulted in 3% increases to each of the steps on the City Manager salary schedule. Step 3 of the current City Manager salary schedule is $24,234 monthly. If the First Amendment is approved, Mr.

Haussler will begin re ceiving this salary effective as of January 1, 2026 . In accordance with the Employment Agreement, Mr. Haussler shall also be entitled to receive any future cost of living adjustments made applicable to all executive management employees and any salary adjustments approved to the salary schedule.

The proposed First Amendment also includes a change to the term of the agreement. The current agreement includes a three -year term of employment. The proposed First Amendment removes the three-year term but retains the provisions that allow either party to terminate the agreement and Mr. Haussler’s employment, with or without cause, in accordance with the termination provisions in the agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT
There are sufficient funds available in the Administra tion budget to accommodate the increase.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
City Manager employment agreements and amendments require approval by the City Council in open session.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
The First Amendment will be executed by all parties, and a personnel action form will be prepared consistent with the terms of the Employment Agreement as amended.
