STAFF REPORT - CITY COUNCIL/SUCCESSOR AGENCY/PUBLIC FINANCE
AUTHORITY
Subject: Authorization to Hire Temporary Extra-Help Groundskeepers for Citywide Landscape Maintenance and Beautification
Meeting Date: Thursday, July 16, 2026
From: Sean Brewer, City Manager
Prepared by: Jesse Barron, Assistant City Manager
I. RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to:
Hire up to four (4) temporary extra-help Groundskeepers for a period not to exceed 120 days to perform landscape maintenance and beautification activities throughout the City, including the Landscape & Lighting Maintenance District, municipal landscape areas, and the municipalairport; and Reallocate existing FY 2026-27 budgeted appropriations totaling up to $40,000 from previously approved maintenance-related project budgets to fund these temporary positions, with a formal budget adjustment to be presented to the City Councilat a subsequent meeting.
II. BACKGROUND:
The City maintains numerous landscaped areas throughout the community, including medians, parkways, trail corridors, and other public spaces. Many of these areas were originally established and maintained under Landscape & Lighting Maintenance District No. 1993-1A, formerly administered by the Coalinga-Huron Parks and Recreation District.
These facilities include landscaping, trees, shrubs, ground cover, irrigation systems, controllers, valves, sprinklers, bubblers, water services, and associated infrastructure. Areas maintained include, but are not limited to, Bordeaux Way, Chardonnay Lane, Merced Avenue, Burgundy Way, the north side of Lucile Avenue, the Warthan Creek Trail serving Tract No. 5451, El Rancho Boulevard serving Tract No. 5344, and Tract No. 533T.
During the City Council's recent discussion regarding the proposed center median rehabilitation project, staff was directed to explore opportunities to complete the work in a more cost-effective manner. Following that discussion, staff evaluated severalalternatives and developed the concept of utilizing temporary extra-help groundskeepers to perform not only the center median improvements but also address a growing backlog of landscape maintenance and beautification needs throughout the community.
This approach allows the City to leverage temporary staffing to complete multiple one-time and seasonal projects while avoiding the higher costs associated with contracting the work. In addition to the center medians, these employees willassist with revitalizing landscaped "triangle" islands, municipal landscaped areas, the Landscape & Lighting Maintenance District, airport landscaping, downtown corridors, parks, trails, and other highly visible public spaces that have been difficult to address with existing staffing levels.
The City Council has also identified beautification and enhancement of the City's appearance as a priority through the annual budget and goal-setting process. The proposed temporary staffing initiative supports those objectives by improving the appearance of key corridors, neighborhood landscaping, and public spaces, while preparing the community for upcoming seasonalevents and continuing to enhance community pride and public perception.
III. DISCUSSION:
The City Manager foresees a need to revitalize landscaped areas throughout the City, including the Landscape & Lighting Maintenance District, municipal landscape areas, and the airport. Given the seasonal timing and the City's desire to improve the appearance of key corridors, neighborhood landscaping, downtown areas, and the airport, utilizing extra-help groundskeepers provides the most cost-effective method of completing this work. By performing this maintenance work with City staff rather than contracting it out, the City can maximize the value of taxpayer dollars while improving the overallappearance of the community.
In addition, the City has officially rejected all bids and plans to conduct the center median rehabilitation project with these additional groundskeepers as a cost saving measure.
Funding for this effort is being reallocated from previously budgeted project appropriations. Specifically, with approval, up to:
$20,000 will be utilized from the Landscape & Lighting Maintenance District No. 1993-1A, $15,000 from Municipal Grounds and Maintenance, and
$5,000 from the Airport Fund for work performed at and around the municipalairport While a portion of these expenditures will be reflected within General Fund personnelcosts, they are fully offset by transfers from previously allocated one-time projects that had already budgeted these resources for maintenance-related activities. As such, this action does not represent new spending or an increase in the City's overalladopted budget, but rather a reallocation of existing appropriations to accomplish the work more efficiently. Projects that have been planned in the FY27 budget will progress as planned with the utilization of the additional support staff.
A budget adjustment will be brought to Councilat the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting, reflecting the changes noted above, if this action is approved.
Based on an average of 25 hours per week for each employee, the estimated personnelcost is approximately $2,000 per week, inclusive of anticipated payroll burden. It is expected that the groundskeepers will be utilized for a period of 90-120 days (~16 weeks = ~$32,000 in approximate personnelcosts only).
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
Authorize the City Manager to hire four extra-help Groundskeepers. (Recommended) Do not authorize the additional staffing. Landscape maintenance and beautification efforts would continue at current staffing levels, delaying revitalization projects and reducing the City's ability to improve highly visible public areas. (Not Recommended)
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
Personnelcosts associated with this authorization shall not exceed:
$20,000 from the Landscape & Lighting Maintenance District No. 1993-1A for maintenance within the assessment district;
$15,000 from Municipal Grounds and Maintenance for City landscape maintenance; and $5,000 from the Airport Fund for landscaping and maintenance activities at and around the municipal airport.
Although these expenditures will be reflected through General Fund payroll, they are fully supported by the reallocation of funds previously appropriated within the adopted budget. Therefore, this action results in no net new fiscal impact to the City and does not require additionalappropriations beyond those already authorized.

Subject: Adopt Resolution No. 4341 Amending Deputy Financial Services Manager Job Description
Meeting Date: Thursday, July 16, 2026
From: Sean Brewer, City Manager
Prepared by: Mai Vang, Financial Services Director
I. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Councilapprove the attached resolution adopting the amendment of the Deputy Financial Services Manager job description
II. BACKGROUND:
The Deputy Financial Services Manager classification was last updated on June 3, 2008, and no longer reflects the current operational needs of the Financial Services Department. Since that time, the Department has expanded its responsibilities through the implementation of new financial processes, including the City's investment program utilizing U.S. Treasury securities, enhanced treasury management, and continued modernization of financial operations.
The revised classification also assigns responsibility for overseeing the City's budget administration, accounting operations, annualaudit, treasury management, financial systems, and supervision of the accounting division. Updating the classification will better align the position with the Department's current operational structure and goals, clarify management responsibilities, and ensure the position reflects the complexity and scope of work necessary to support the City's financial operations.
III. DISCUSSION:
The proposed revision modernizes the Deputy Financial Services Manager classification to reflect the current operationaland management needs of the Financial Services Department. The classification has not been comprehensively updated since June 3, 2008, despite significant changes in the Department's responsibilities.
Since the last update, the Department has implemented new financial programs and operational initiatives, including the City's investment program utilizing U.S. Treasury securities, expanded treasury management responsibilities, enhanced financial reporting, and increased reliance on technology and business process improvements.
The updated classification provides management oversight of the City's accounting operations, budget administration, annualaudit, treasury functions, financial systems, and accounting division. The position will supervise professionalaccounting staff, ensure compliance with governmentalaccounting standards, strengthen internalcontrols, and support the continued modernization of the Department's financial operations.
The revised classification also enhances succession planning and organizationalcontinuity by establishing a management position capable of assisting the Financial Services Director with strategic planning, complex financial initiatives, operational oversight, and implementation of City priorities.
Updating the classification improves organizationalefficiency by clearly defining management responsibilities, reducing overlap among classifications, and aligning the position with the Department's current operational structure and service delivery expectations.
To reflect and address the operational needs, staff will be reclassified to carry on the additional duties beyond the current job classification. This position willabsorb the Business Systems Analyst position. This is not a new position, it will be a reclassification.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
Not approve the recommendation
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
The Funding for the Deputy Financial Services Manager position was included in the FY26/27 budget, which was approved on June 16, 2026. The position annual salary is $90,838, plus applicable benefits and employer-paid costs. This position will not result in a new additional body rather a shifting of current employees into this position.

Subject: Adopt Resolution No. 4342 Revising Financial Services Supervisor Job Description
Meeting Date: Thursday, July 16, 2026
From: Sean Brewer, City Manager
Prepared by: Mai Vang, Financial Services Director
I. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Councilapprove and revise the attached resolution adopting the job description for revising the Financial Services Supervisor and pay class.
II. BACKGROUND:
The Financial Services Supervisor classification was originally developed with a primary emphasis on clerical accounting and transactional functions. As the Financial Services Department has evolved, the position's responsibilities have expanded beyond clerical oversight to include operational leadership, employee development, and supervision of critical finance functions.
The proposed revision modernizes the classification by emphasizing supervisory responsibilities, staff development, workflow management, and operational oversight. The revised classification also establishes responsibility for supervising the City's revenue operations, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, utility billing, business licensing, cashiering, and customer service, while incorporating payrollauditing responsibilities to ensure compliance with City policies, personnel rules, collective bargaining agreements, and applicable payroll laws. The updated classification better aligns the position with the Department's current operational structure and management needs.
III. DISCUSSION:
The proposed revision updates the Financial Services Supervisor classification to better reflect the current operationaland supervisory needs of the Financial Services Department. The existing classification primarily emphasized clericalaccounting functions; however, the position has evolved into a first-line supervisor responsible for managing daily finance operations, developing and mentoring staff, and ensuring efficient service delivery.
The revised classification places greater emphasis on leadership, employee supervision, workflow management, and operational oversight of accounts receivable, accounts payable, utility billing, business licensing, cashiering, and customer service. It also formalizes responsibility for auditing payroll to ensure compliance with City policies, personnel rules, collective bargaining agreements, and applicable payroll laws.
These revisions better align the classification with the Department's organizational structure, strengthen operationalaccountability, and support the continued delivery of efficient and effective financial services.
The proposed revision also includes an adjustment to the position's compensation classification from Pay Class 31 Basic to Pay Class 33 Basic, while the position will remain classified as FLSA Exempt, reflecting the increased supervisory responsibilities, expanded operational oversight, and elevated level of management responsibility assigned to the position.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:

The Funding for the Financial Services Supervisor position was included in the FY26/27 budget, which was approved on June 16, 2026. The position annual salary is $90,838, plus applicable benefits and employer-paid costs.

Subject: Adopt Resolution No. 4343 Approve Financial Services Analyst Job Description Meeting Date: Thursday, July 16, 2026
From: Sean Brewer, City Manager
Prepared by: Mai Vang, Financial Services Director
I. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Councilapprove the attached resolution adopting the new job description for the Financial Services Analyst.
II. BACKGROUND:
The new Financial Services Analyst job description represents a strategic investment in the City's financial management capabilities. As the City continues to implement new financial initiatives and place greater emphasis on long-term planning and performance measurement, dedicated analytical resources are necessary to support informed decision-making and continuous organizational improvement.
The job description will provide management with meaningful financialanalysis and performance data to evaluate programs, allocate resources more effectively, and measure progress toward City Council priorities.
In addition, the position will strengthen internal financial operations by providing technicalaccounting support during critical functions such as account reconciliations, audit preparation, and financial reporting.
Establishing this classification enhances the Department's capacity to support both strategic initiatives and day-to-day financial operations while improving efficiency, accountability, and organizationaleffectiveness.
III. DISCUSSION:
The proposed Financial Services Analyst classification is a new position established to support the City's growing emphasis on strategic financial planning, data-driven decision-making, and continuous process improvement. The position is designed to lead budget development and monitoring, implement and support Priority-Based Budgeting, develop key performance indicators (KPIs), perform financialanalytics, and provide management with meaningful financial data to support informed decision-making. These responsibilities directly align with the City Council's goals of improving financial transparency, accountability, and long-term fiscal sustainability.
In addition to its analytical responsibilities, the Financial Services Analyst willcontinue to support the accounting division by performing complex account reconciliations, assisting with the annualaudit, financial reporting, and other technicalaccounting assignments as needed, providing additional resources to strengthen the City's financial operations and internalcontrols.
To reflect and address the operational needs, staff will be reclassified to carry on the additional duties beyond the current job classification. This position willabsorb the Accounting Technician position. This is not a new position, it will be a reclassification.
The Financial Services Analyst position was approved and budgeted as part of the FY 2026-27 Adopted Budget. During implementation of the approved reclassification, staff identified that an incorrect salary schedule was inadvertently used when calculating the position's budgeted personnelcosts. As a result, the position is currently underfunded by approximately $5,000. This was a clerical budgeting error and does not affect the Council's prior approval of the position. Staff will return in August with a budget amendment to appropriate the additional funding necessary to fully support the approved position.
The proposed budget adjustment is administrative in nature and is intended solely to align the budget with the approved salary schedule for the position. It does not create a new position or modify the Council's previously approved staffing plan.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
Not approve the recommendation
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
The Funding for the Financial Services Analyst position was included in the FY26/27 budget, which was approved on June 16, 2026. The position annual salary is $64,557, plus applicable benefits and employer-paid costs. This position will not result in a new additional body rather a shifting of current employees into this position.

In the course of performing services under this Agreement, Consultant may be asked to review drawings, specifications, or pay applications from contractors engaged to perform work in connection with the Project for which the Proposal is submitted or to observe such contractor’s construction as it progresses. Any such review shall be limited to a review of the general conformance with the design concept of the Project and the general compliance with information given in the contractor's documents and as may otherwise be noted by Consultant on such drawings and specifications.

Consultant will retain these Records for a period of three (3) years following completion of this Project.
During this time, Consultant will reasonably make available these records to the Client.
Electronic files may contain viruses which can be inadvertently transmitted. It is the sole responsibility of FORM CLIENT PSA-1 07-2026
CLIENT PSA-1 07-2026 Page 9 of 12
Client to check for viruses before loading the files, and Client is solely responsible for intercepting and disabling any viruses which could be inadvertently transmitted with the electronic files.

Consultant shall not be responsible for any deviations, alterations, modifications or additions in the electronic data in comparison to the documents originally released by the Consultant to the Client.
Consultant shall not be responsible for any reuse of the electronic data by Client or any other party for this Project, or any other Project without the prior express written consent of Consultant. Client shall defend, indemnify and hold completely harmless Consultant against any claims, damages or losses arising out of any deviations, alterations, modifications or additions in the electronic data in comparison to the documents originally released by the Consultant to the Client or any reuse of the electronic data without prior express written consent of Consultant.

CONCERNING THE MERCHANTABILITY OF THE FILES AND DATA OR THEIR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
Copies of documents that may be relied upon by Client are limited to the originally released documents that contain signatures and seals of the professional employee(s) of Consultant. Any damages resulting from deviations from such originally released and signed or sealed electronic files will be at the Client’s sole risk.
Consultant is not responsible for damages arising out of the use by the Client or the Client's agents of any Consultant data or report for any purpose other than its original purpose as defined in the Proposal.
While Client agrees that any patentable or copyrightable concepts developed by Consultant as a result of this Agreement shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Consultant, Client shall retain a right, without the right to grant sublicenses under any patents or copyrights of Consultant, to use any information or recommendations generated by Consultant during the performance of this Agreement. Client shall have the right to assign such right to any party who buys from client the assets of Client relating to the information or recommendations generated by Consultant under this Agreement. Nothing in this Article 19 shall restrict Consultant from using any methods, techniques or concepts developed by it under this Agreement for its benefit or the benefit of any third party.

In those situations where Consultant performs subsurface exploration, the Client, to the extent of its knowledge, will furnish to Consultant information identifying the type and location of utilities and other human-made objects beneath the surface of the Project site.

Article 21. Extent of Study
Client recognizes that actual environmental or geological conditions may vary from conditions encountered at locations where Consultant makes visual observations, obtains samples or performs other explorations as part of its services under this Agreement.

Article 22. Hazardous Substances
In the event that services performed under this Agreement involve hazardous substances, as defined in 40 CFR Part 302, including hazardous waste, whether or not such involvement was known or contemplated at the time this Agreement was made or when services performed by Consultant commenced under this Agreement, the following additional terms and conditions shall apply to this Agreement.
Any and all samples collected or received by Consultant or its subcontractors on behalf of Client which contain hazardous substances including hazardous waste will be, after completion of testing and at Client's expense, either returned to Client, or using a manifest signed by Client as a generator, be transported to a location selected by Client for final disposal. Client shall pay all costs associated with the storage, transport and disposal of all such samples. Client agrees and recognizes that Consultant is acting as a bailee and at no time assumes title to any such samples or substances.
Consultant warrants that when making hazardous waste determinations on behalf of Client, Consultant will use the standard of care and diligence normally practiced by consulting firms performing similar services in the same locale. Consultant, if requested by Client, will gather bids from various hazardous waste transporters and/or treatment, storage or disposal facilities (TSDFs) that are appropriately licensed or permitted by state, federal and/or local authorities to accept the waste generated by the Client. Client acknowledges that although Consultant may gather bids from various hazardous waste transporters or TSDFs, that Client has ultimately selected such transporter or TSDF. Client understands that Consultant has not conducted regulatory compliance audits on such transporters or TSDFs nor does Consultant make any other warranties or representations other than expressly written in this paragraph related to such transporters or TDSFs. Client acknowledges that Consultant at no time assumes title to waste generated from Client’s facility or site.
Client acknowledges that Consultant has no responsibility as an operator, arranger, generator, treater, storer, transporter, disposer, emitter, discharger or releaser of hazardous substances, air or water pollutants or other contaminants found or identified in conjunction with work performed hereunder.

Article 26. Waiver
No waiver by either party of any term or condition set forth herein or the breach by the other party of any such term or condition, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition or breach or a waiver of any other term, condition or breach.

The subject headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not determinative of the substance of the subject clause.
Article 28. Entire Agreement

If additional documents represent the agreement of the parties, such documents must be itemized in Consultant's proposal. The parties agree that the provisions of these terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control over and govern as to any subsequent form or document signed by the Parties, such as Client’s purchase orders, work orders, task orders, etc. and that such documents may be issued by Client to Consultant as a matter of convenience to the parties without altering any of the terms or provisions hereof.

If any provision or part of a provision of this Agreement is declared to be invalid by any tribunal of competent jurisdiction, such part shall be deemed automatically adjusted, if possible, to conform to the requirements for validity, but if such adjustment is not possible, it shall be deemed deleted from this Agreement as though it had never been included herein. In either case, the balance of any such provision and of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This Scope of Services details the design and bid administration services to be provided by Mead & Hunt, Inc. (Consultant or Mead & Hunt) for the Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS) Replacement Project (Project) at the Coalinga Airport (Airport or Sponsor) for the City of Coalinga (City).
BACKGROUND
Coalinga Airport is located in Coalinga, CA, approximately 50 miles southwest of Fresno. The Airport currently has an AWOS-III system that has reached its life cycle expectancy and is needing a replacement.
The proposed AWOS will not be re-located and will remain where the existing AWOS is currently located.
This proposal assumes that the site's existing power supply is adequate for the proposed AWOS. The site is northeast of the Airport’s segmented circle, which is on the opposite side of the airfield from terminal building and the apron area.
An AWOS automatically measures meteorological conditions and broadcasts aviation weather reports that can be received by aircraft operating up to 10,000 feet above ground level and 25 nautical miles from the AWOS. The AWOS weather report allows pilots to obtain accurate weather data.
PROJECT ELEMENTS
The Project is anticipated to consist of the following elements:
Installation of a Replacement AWOS System
Construction and installation of a new AWOS System at the existing AWOS site location. The existing electrical line will connect to the proposed AWOS system. The Project is scheduled to advertise for competitive bidding in the spring of 2027. The Project is estimated to have a construction cost of approximately $350,000.00.
The general location of the AWOS system is shown on Attachment 1.
PROJECT TEAM
The Consultant will assign a Project Manager (PM) to this Project to monitor continuity through the phases of work, as described in this scope. The PM will be responsible for work performed by the Consultant Team.
Specific Project management tasks are detailed within each phase of work.
The Consultant Team will also consist of civil engineers, electrical engineers, designers, and administrative staff as needed to perform the tasks in this scope of work.

STAFF REPORT - CITY COUNCIL/SUCCESSOR AGENCY/PUBLIC FINANCE
AUTHORITY
Subject: Authorize Staff to Re-open A Non-Paid Reserve Police Officer Position Meeting Date: Thursday, July 16, 2026
From: Sean Brewer, City Manager
Prepared by: Sean Young, Police Commander
I. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is requesting approval to re-open one non-paid Reserve Police Officer Position.
II. BACKGROUND:
In the past, the Police Department used Reserve Officers to help supplement patrol. With budgetary issues over the years, the Police Department has given up those positions, both paid and non-paid, to help pay for full-time positions. The Police Department currently has one paid Reserve Officer position, and no non-paid Reserve Officer positions.
California Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) require Reserve Police Officers, paid and nonpaid, to work a minimum of 16-hours per month to make sure they maintain their skill leveland remain current with current trends in law enforcement. POST also requires that a minimum of 24-hours of continuous POST approved training courses be completed.
III. DISCUSSION:
The Police Department would like to add one non-paid Reserve Officer position at the request of a full-time officer who is no longer able to continue working full-time hours. This will help supplement patrol needs without using overtime with regular officers and keep an experienced officer with the agency and allow the hiring of a person who is able to commit to the time needed for a full-time position. Overall, this is a minimal cost position and would help increase the number of officers working without putting strain on the budget.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
Do not approve the re-opening of this position. (Not recommended) V. FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be minimalcost to the general fund associated with re-opening this position in the form of Workers Comp Insurance (approximately $1,600 per year). The required POST training willcome out of the Police Departments training budget, which will not require an increase from the current allotted amount.

STAFF REPORT - CITY COUNCIL/SUCCESSOR AGENCY/PUBLIC FINANCE
AUTHORITY
Subject: Discussion and Direction regarding Amending the Mural Guidelines and Procedures Meeting Date: Thursday, July 16, 2026
From: Sean Brewer, City Manager
Prepared by: Jesse Barron, Assistant City Manager
I. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the following actions from City Council:
Council review of the current mural guidelines and provide staff with any recommended changes; and, Support staffs recommendation to reduce the number of public hearings required for mural applications to one (1) public hearing.
II. BACKGROUND:
On June 23, 2016, the City Councilapproved and adopted the Mural Guidelines and Procedures to establish a formal process for reviewing and approving murals within the City of Coalinga. The guidelines were intended to encourage high-quality public art while ensuring murals are consistent with community standards and are not commercialadvertisements. The adopted procedures include guidelines for reviewing the mural concept, artist qualifications, maintenance responsibilities, and final inspection.
At the last council meeting, councilman Schindler requested that staff bring back the mural guideline and procedures to allow the Council the opportunity to review the guidelines prior to accepting and considering any muralapplications and provide recommendations for any changes. .
III. DISCUSSION:
Mural Procedures
Under the current approval process, muralapplications are reviewed by the Planning Commission on two separate occasions before being forwarded to the City Council for finalapproval. These procedures are summarized below and attached as Exhibit A.
Step 1: Applicant submits a muralapplication to the Community Development Department.
Step 2: Planning Commission reviews the proposed muralconcept to determine whether it complies with the Mural Guidelines and Procedures.
Step 3: Planning Commission conducts a second hearing to review the artist’s portfolio or other evidence that demonstrates the artist’s ability to produce a quality mural. Planning Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council.
Step 4: City Councilconducts a public hearing to take finalaction on the mural.
Mural Guidelines
The general guidelines for all proposed murals in the City are provided below and attached as Exhibit A.
1. The emphasis of the murals will be on artistic expression and must not include an advertisement or be commercial in nature. All murals must comply with City ordinances that prohibit indecency or obscenity in public.
2. Murals shall not contain copy, lettering, symbols or references directly to the promotion of any product, business, brand, organization, service, cause or place. Murals may contain limited commercial elements so long as they are not considered commercial speech with the purpose of promoting a commercial transaction. For those mural applications that may contain limited commercial elements, the Planning Commission will ask the question - "If the business on which the mural is located were to move, would the mural still be good quality art and something the community would want to remain?" If so, the mural is not considered commercial speech or advertisement but rather pure art.
3. Murals shall not be merely an extension or enlargement of a sign. If the theme of the mural is to promote a business, brand, organization, service, cause or place, it shall meet all requirements of a sign pursuant to the City of Coalinga Municipal Code.
4. Not more than 1% of the mural will contain the name of a sponsor and/or sponsor product likeness.
The artist's signature shall not be more than 1% of the mural.
5. Temporary murals will receive, as is reasonably practicable, expedited review by the Planning Commission. Temporary murals shall be required to comply with the provisions of these guidelines and will be removed no later than one year after completed. After one year, if there is a desire for the mural to remain in place, the owner will resubmit a mural application and follow the standard process as outlined herein.
6. Mural artists will be required to demonstrate their ability and experience to create high quality, well designed and well executed murals and/or art. The artist must provide the Planning Commission a portfolio of work that is reflective of the style of the proposed mural. This will be used to help determine whether the artist will be able to uphold the standards for quality art within the City of Coalinga. For those artists without a portfolio of work, the Planning Commission will consider other presented forms of art that demonstrate an ability to create a quality mural.
7. New murals erected without receiving proper approval and that did not go through the mural application and approval process will be required to retroactively go through the process. Property owners will have 30 days after receiving notification to submit a mural application after which the mural will be deemed a sign and subject to all sign permitting requirements. The retroactive mural applications will be required to comply with all mural guidelines and must receive City Council approval. Murals that fail to be approved will be removed within 30 days after the denial at the property owners expense.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends amending the Mural Guidelines and Procedures to eliminate two public hearings and require only one public hearing before either the Planning Commission or the City Councilas the sole discretionary review for muralapplications.
Under the revised process, applicants would submit a complete application package to the Community Development Department that includes the proposed mural rendering, artist portfolio (or other evidence demonstrating artistic ability), and all required supporting materials. Staff would review the application for completeness and compliance with the Mural Guidelines and Procedures prior to scheduling the application for a single public hearing. Following the public hearing, the hearing body would approve, conditionally approve, or deny the muralapplication.
Reasons for Recommendation
Under the existing guidelines, muralapplications require two separate Planning Commission hearings before being forwarded to the City Council for a third public hearing and finalaction. This process increases processing time, requires additional staff resources to prepare multiple public hearing agendas and reports, and creates unnecessary delays for applicants seeking approval of projects that are generally straightforward in nature.
Staff believes the two (2) of three (3) public hearings can be eliminated without reducing the City's ability to ensure that murals are consistent with the adopted Mural Guidelines and Procedures. Instead, applicants would submit a complete application package, including the proposed mural rendering, artist portfolio (or other evidence of artistic ability), and all required supporting materials, to the Community Development Department. Staff would conduct a thorough review of the application for completeness and compliance with the adopted guidelines before scheduling the item for a public hearing before either the Planning Commission or the City Council.
Consolidating the review into a single hearing would:
·Reduce the overall processing time for muralapplications. ·Eliminate duplicative public hearings.
·Reduce administrative costs and staff time associated with preparing multiple agendas and staff reports. ·Maintain the hearing body’s ability to review both the proposed muraland the artist’s qualifications during one comprehensive hearing.
Staff believes the existing review process provides more procedural steps than are necessary to achieve the City’s objective of ensuring high-quality murals. This change would reduce administrative burdens on both applicants and the City while maintaining the City’s ability to approve murals that enhance the community and are consistent with adopted standards.
Environmental Review
The City is the Lead Agency for this Project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines (Public Resources Code [PRC] Section 15000 et seq.). This update is subject to CEQA Guidelines section 15061, which states that “The activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.” This item does not alter existing development potential of the City as expressed in the General Plan.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
Eliminate two public hearings and require only one public hearing before either the Planning Commission or the City Councilas the sole discretionary review for muralapplications. (Recommended)
Direct staff to alter the policy and bring back to Council for review and approval (Alternative) V. FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

MURAL_GUIDELINES_AND_PROCEDURES_Approved_062316_(1).pdf Exhibit A
MURAL GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES
Purpose:
To define the process used by groups or individuals who desire to install murals in Coalinga public places. The City understands the importance of art in public places and the role that murals play in preserving our culture, conveying the history of our community, beautifying the city and advancing the arts. These guidelines will provide direction to applicants wishing to install murals in public places.
General Guidelines:
1. The emphasis of the murals will be on artistic expression and must not include an advertisement or be commercial in nature. All murals must comply with City ordinances that prohibit indecency or obscenity in public.
2. Murals shall not contain copy, lettering, symbols or references directly to the promotion of any product, business, brand, organization, service, cause or place. Murals may contain limited commercial elements so long as they are not considered commercial speech with the purpose of promoting a commercial transaction. For those mural applications that may contain limited commercial elements, the Planning Commission will ask the question - "If the business on which the mural is located were to move, would the mural still be good quality art and something the community would want to remain?" If so, the mural is not considered commercial speech or advertisement but rather pure art.
3. Murals shall not be merely an extension or enlargement of a sign. If the theme of the mural is to promote a business, brand, organization, service, cause or place, it shall meet all requirements of a sign pursuant to the City of Coalinga Municipal Code.
4. Not more than 1% of the mural will contain the name of a sponsor and/or sponsor product likeness. The artist's signature shall not be more than 1% of the mural.
5. Temporary murals will receive, as is reasonably practicable, expedited review by the Planning Commission. Temporary murals shall be required to comply with the provisions of these guidelines and will be removed no later than one year after completed. After one year, if there is a desire for the mural to remain in place, the owner will resubmit a mural application and follow the standard process as outlined herein.
6. Mural artists will be required to demonstrate their ability and experience to create high quality, well designed and well executed murals and/or art. The artist must provide the Planning Commission a portfolio of work that is reflective of the style of the proposed mural. This will be used to help determine whether the artist will be able to uphold the standards for quality art within the City of Coalinga. For those artists without a portfolio of work, the Planning Commission will consider other presented forms of art that demonstrate an ability to create a quality mural.
7. New murals erected without receiving proper approval and that did not go through the mural application and approval process will be required to retroactively go through the process. Property owners will have 30 days after receiving notification to submit a mural application after which the mural will be deemed a sign and subject to all sign permitting requirements. The retroactive mural applications will be required to comply with all mural guidelines and must receive City Council approval. Murals that fail to be approved will be removed within 30 days after the denial at the property owners expense.
Application and Approval Process:
Step 1-
Muralist(s) must obtain an application from the Community Development Department. The time required to process a mural application will vary but will be a maximum of 90 days from application submittal. The application will provide information to the City regarding location, size, concept and content of the mural, type of paint/media, owner of the building where the mural will be located, artist(s), dates of application ad individuals who will be responsible for maintenance. The application must be signed by the individual/group proposing to place the mural, as well as the property owner where the mural will be placed and submitted to the Community Development Director or his designee along with a 1:12 scale (1"=1 ft-0") sketch, rendering or photo of the proposed mural.
Step 2:
The application and mural rendering must be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission and the owner of the property where the mural is proposed to be placed. The review will be conducted to assure compliance with local ordinances and regulations, these guidelines and the ability of the artist(s) proposing the mural to produce a quality mural. If the mural receives preliminary approval, it will move forward in the process.
Step 3:
After receiving preliminary approval, the artist will then be required to provide for review their portfolio of work that is reflective of the proposed mural. The Planning Commission will use the portfolio of work to help determine whether the artist has the technical skill and ability to produce a quality mural within the City of Coalinga. If the artist is unable to provide a portfolio of work, at a minimum, the artist will be required to provide evidence of artistic talent that satisfies the Planning Commission as to the skill and ability of the artist to create a mural that is of good quality.
Step 4:
After review and acceptance of the artist's body of work, the Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council for approval of the mural application which is the final step of approval.
Mural Agreement:
Following approval by the Planning Commission, whether the mural will be placed on public or private property, the property owner and applicant(s) will be required to provide to the Community Development Director or his designee a proposed agreement which identifies the terms and conditions under which the mural will be applied. These terms and conditions include, but are not limited to:
A. Specifications regarding the mural (location, size, concept and content, type of paint/media);
B. Application for Encroachment Permit if necessary;
C. Identification of ownership of the mural image and use thereof;
D. Expected timeframe for completion;
E. Long term mural maintenance;
F. Circumstances under which the mural may be removed by the City and/or property owner (i.e. lack of maintenance or in disrepair);
G. Proof of liability insurance;
H. Landscape removal and replacement or protection if any.
The proposed agreement will be provided to the Planning Commission and will be submitted to the City Council along with the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
Appeal to City Council:
In the event the Planning Commission determines the proposed mural does not comply with the parameters of these guidelines or other City ordinances and regulations, and therefore determines to withhold its approval, applicant(s) may apply for a variance as authorized by Section 9-6.701 of the Coalinga Municipal Code.
Final Inspection and Acceptance:
The City reserves the right to inspect the mural during installation and upon completion to ensure that the final product is in compliance with the approved mural application. Should it be found that the mural is not in compliance, the artist and property owner will be notified and given 30 days to remedy the situation. Should the property owner and/or artist fail to make the necessary corrections, the mural will be deemed out of compliance and will be removed at the expense of the property owner and/or artist.
