ITEM # 2-C
FROM: Joseph Faulkner, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Acceptance of the 2021 Storm Water Master Plan Summary:
A&M Consulting Engineers completed the City's Storm Water Master Plan in 2021. The plan evaluates existing storm drainage infrastructure and identifies future improvement needs. Although the plan was completed in 2021, it was never formally accepted by the City Council. Staff is requesting acceptance of the plan to establish it as the City's official storm water planning document.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Accept the 2021 Storm Water Master Plan prepared by A&M Consulting Engineers; and
2. Adopt Resolution No. 4136 accepting the 2021 Storm Water Master Plan as the City's official planning document for future storm drainage infrastructure improvements and capital planning efforts.
Budget impact:
No Budget impact
Background:
The City retained A&M Consulting Engineers to prepare a Storm Water Master Plan to assess existing storm drainage infrastructure and identify improvements needed to address flooding concerns, system deficiencies, and future growth.
The completed plan includes an inventory of existing facilities, hydraulic analysis, identification of problem areas, conceptual improvement projects, and estimated project costs. The document serves as a long-range planning tool for future storm drainage investments throughout the City.
Discussion:
Acceptance of the Storm Water Master Plan does not authorize construction of any specific project or commit the City to future expenditures. Rather, it formally acknowledges the plan as the City's guiding document for storm water infrastructure planning
The plan will assist staff in prioritizing drainage improvements, pursuing grant funding opportunities, evaluating future development, and planning capital improvement projects aimed at improving system performance and reducing localized flooding.

Existing Problem Areas
The existing stormdraing system will require routine maintenance. Currently there are some lift station pumps that are not handling the required capacity at peak runoff which causes flooding in the City. Additionally, there are locations in the City where there are inadequate storm drain lines due to capacity or surcharging issues during a design rain event.
Priority 1: Pump Station Modifications
A primary cause of the City's flooding problems come from inadequate lift station pump capacity. The following are the recommended pump replacements to correct these deficiencies:
Shed H, Lift Station No. 4(8.5 cfs) $48,000.00
Ottawa Avenue Stormwater Lift Station (40 cfs) $800,000.00 Subtotal $848,000.00
40% Contingency, Environmental, Construction. & Engineering $339.200.00 Total $1,187,200.00
Priority 2: Increase Stormwater Pipe Capacity
There are currently several undersized stormwater pipes throughout the City. The following are the recommended pipe replacements to correct the deficiencies.
Add 18" stormwater drain pipe on Letts Avenue (from Patterson Avenue to Whitley) $180,000.00 Increase stormwater pipe capacity to 30" on Whitley Avenue (from Dairy Avenue to Letts Avenue) $250,000.00 Increase stormwater pipe capacity to 24" on Whitley Avenue (from Letts Avenue to Hale Avenue) $144,000.00 Increase stormwater pipe capacity to 24" on Sherman Avenue (from Dairy Avenue to Letts Avenue) $245,000.00 Increase stormwater pipe capacity to 48" on Dairy Avenue (from Bainum Avenue to J&A Market) $265,000.00 Increase stormwater capacity to 18" on Oregon Avenue (from Estes Avenue to Dairy Avenue) and on Dairy Avenue (from Oregon Avenue to Osage Avenue) $255,700.00 Add 12" stormwater drain pipe on Gable Avenue $5,700.00 Subtotal $1,345,400.00
40% Contingency, Environmental, Construction, & Engineering $538,160.00 Total $1,883,560.00
List of Discharge Points within the City Limits
The following shed areas discharge into the surrounding Corcoran irrigation ditches and ponds. We have identified these points of discharge and have numbered them as [Discharge #, C.F.S.] and included their estimated peak flow rates in cubic feet per second from our analysis using the Autodesk Storm & Sanitary Analysis model.

I11. LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICCIENCY (LEP) PLAN
Introduction
discriminating against or otherwise excluding individuals based on race, color, or national origin in any of To determine the extent to which LEP services are required and in which languages, the law requires the analysis of four factors:
The number or proportion of LEP persons eligible to be served or likely to be encountered by Corcoran Area Transit programs, services, or activities.
2. The frequency with which LEP individuals encounter these programs, services, or activities.
3. The nature and importance of the program, service, or activity to people's lives.
4. The resources available and the overall cost.
The goal of the City of Corcoran's Transit Division Corcoran Area Transit (CAT) Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Access Plan is to ensure that the City of Corcoran's CAT recognizes the needs of limited English proficient (LEP) members of the community and implements a plan to communicate effectively and ensure reasonable access to our processes, information, and decision-making.
Safe Harbor Provision
The Federal Transit Authority Circular 4702.1B states:
"DOT has adopted DOJ's Safe Harbor Provision, which outlines circumstances that can provide a "safe harbor" for recipients regarding translation of written materials for LEP populations. The Safe Harbor Provision stipulates that if a recipient provides written translation of vital documents for each eligible LEP language group that constitutes five percent (5%) or 1,000 persons, whichever is less, of the total population of persons eligible to be served or likely to be affected or encountered, then such actions will be considered strong evidence of compliance with the recipient's written translation obligations.
Translation of non-vital documents, if needed, can be provided orally. If there are fewer than 50 persons in a language group that reaches the five percent (5%) trigger, the recipient is not required to translate vital written materials but should provide written notice in the primary language of the LEP language group of the right to receive competent oral interpretation of those written materials, free of cost.
These safe harbor provisions apply to the translation of written documents only. They do not affect the requirement to provide meaningful access to LEP individuals through competent oral interpreters where oral language services are needed and are reasonable. A recipient may determine, based on the Four Factor Analysis, that even though a language group meets the threshold specified by the Safe Harbor Provision, written translation may not be an effective means to provide language assistance measures. For example, a recipient may determine that a large number of persons in that language group have low literacy skills in their native language and therefore require oral interpretation. In such cases, background documentation regarding the determination shall be provided to FTA in the Title VI Program." CORCORAN AREA TRANSIT (CAT) Factor Analysis
To determine the extent to which LEP services are required and in which languages, the law requires the analysis of four factors. The following sections address each of these with respect to CAT's planning area.
Factor 1: Review of LEP Populations
Understanding the needs of the community begins with identifying the number of Limited English Proficiency (LEP) populations covered by the USDOT's Safe Harbor Provision to be served by the City of
Corcoran's Transit Division CAT through its programs, services, or activities. This provision stipulates hat if an LEP group speaking a given non-English language constitutes five percent or 1,000 persons, vhichever is less, of the total population of persons likely to be encountered by transit services, then the service provider must make the following materials and services available to speakers of that language:
• Documents critical for accessing recipients' services or benefits • Letters requiring response from customer
Informing customers of free language assistance
Complaint forms
• Notification of rights.
Methodology for Data Sources:
• To determine potential LEP needs in CAT's planning area (City of Corcoran), staff reviewed the latest data available through the US Census Bureau American Community Survey for the Period of 20245 years and overestimates.
Data collected for City of Corcoran indicated that 48.9% of the total population 5 years and older speak English "less than very well". Further analysis shows that 46.6% of the same population speaks Spanish;
0.8% speaks an Indo-European language; 1% speaks and Asian or Pacific Islander language; and 0.5% speaks another language (see Table 1). This information led staff to review the Spanish speaking LEF group identify whether this population was concentrated into specific communities
Table 1: The Top Languages Spoken at Home in Kings County Population No. of % of % of LEP % of LEP % of LEP % of LEP 5 years and LEP LEP Persons Persons who Person who Persons who older Persons Persons who speak speak Indo-Euro speak Asian or speak Other Spanish Languages Pacific Islander Languages
Languages
22,491 11,499 48.8% 46.6% 0.8% 1% 0.5%
Source: US Census Bureau's 2024 years and over
Spanish (46.6%) was reported to be the most prevalent language spoken by persons that speak English "less than very well." The data in US Census Bureau American Community Survey, indicates that a high concentration of LEP persons live in the cities of Stratford, Kettleman, and Avenal. The common LEP persons are those who speak Spanish, which means the Safe Harbor Provisions would apply to the city's Spanish speaking population, requiring Corcoran Area Transit to provide the materials listed above.
Factor 2: Assessing Frequency of Contact with LEP Persons.
Methodology:
Data collected from drivers, Dispatch, and Transit Coordinator to determine the frequency of contact with LEP persons, as well as the languages spoken.
The results of the information collected indicate that Spanish is the most prevalent language spoken by the LEP population in the City of Corcoran and Kings County.
Factor 3: Assessing the Importance of CAT's Services.
Methodology:
• Identify CAT's critical services or activities
All the City of Corcoran's CAT services are important; however, those related general Dial A Ride information, transit fares, safety, nondiscrimination, and public involvement are among the most important.
Factor 4: Determining Available Resources.
When planning any activity, it is imperative that an organization assess the resources available to conduct the activity in a way that is meaningful and balances those efforts with the overall cost to the organization.
Methodology:
• Create an inventory of language assistance measures currently provided, along with the associated cost.
• Determine what, if any, additional services are needed to provide meaningful access. • Analyze CAT's Budget.
• Employees of the Corcoran Area Transit will receive the following training. • A summary of responsibilities under the DOT LEP Guidance. • A summary of the Language Assistance Plan.
A description of the type of language assistance offered by CAT and instructions for accessing these services.
• Strategies for working effectively with LEP persons.
• Cultural sensitivity toward immigrants
CAT staff include the Transit Operators, Transit Coordinator, and Transit and Grants Manager.
Given the size of the Spanish LEP population, the City of Corcoran's Transit Division CAT will ensure that public notices and general information, such as the rider's information is written in Spanish and made
available for viewing in places where individuals with limited English proficiency congregate such as the Corcoran Depot. In addition, to improve meaningful access, transit fares have been written in Spanish and posted on the buses and at the Corcoran Depot.
CAT will also maintain a list of those staff members who speak a language other than English to provide a point of contact for persons needing information.
Language Assistance Plan
Based on the four-factor analysis, the City of Corcoran's Transit Division Corcoran Area Transit (CAT) recognizes the need to continue providing language services in our community. A review of CAT's relevant programs, activities, and services that are being offered or will continue to be offered by the City of Corcoran's Transit Division CAT includes the following:
• Maintain a list of employees who competently speak Spanish and are willing to provide translation and/or interpretation services verbal and written. Distribute the list to staff that regularly have contact with the public for expedited help, for LEP persons. • Vital documents are available in both English and Spanish. • Public Notices are available in both English and Spanish. • General Information, such as fliers and announcements are available in both English and Spanish. • Transit fare is posted in both English and Spanish.
• Outreach meetings/forums are conducted at City Council meetings to inform the community of the services offered by CAT. Information is provided by bilingual staff on site to answer any questions or address concerns and written materials are provided in both languages.
The City of Corcoran's Transit Division CAT will contact the community organizations that serve LEP people, as well as LEP people themselves, and perform four-factor analysis every three years to identify what, if any additional information or activities might better improve CAT services to assure non- discriminatory services to LEP people. The City of Corcoran then evaluates the projected financial and personnel needed to provide the requested services and assesses which of these can be provided cost- effectively.
IV. NOTIFICATION OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECT

The Department of Justice and the Department of Transportation regulations implementing Title VI, require Federal agencies to collect data and other information to enforce Title VI. In this regard Corcoran Area Transit (CAT), as an applicant and/or recipient receiving Federal funding, hereby provides FTA with the following information:
• There are NO active lawsuits or complaints naming the City of Corcoran's Transit Division CAT nor were there any investigations, complaints, or lawsuits in the past three years, which allege discrimination based on race, color, or national origin with respect to service or other transit • There is currently no pending construction project which would negatively impact minority communities being performed by CAT.
IX. SERVICE STANDARDS AND POLICIES
To ensure compliance with the Title VI Program, the City of Corcoran Transit Division CAT has implemented four service indicators to maintain service consistency throughout the City of Corcoran and Kings County to all participants of public transportation.
Vehicle Load or Load Factor- is a ratio of the number of seats on a vehicle to the number of passengers. CAT's Demand Response System will not permit any passengers to stand. CAT will not exceed the manufacturer's recommended seating and standing capacity per vehicle. A vehicle inventory list is attached indicating the seating and standing capacity per vehicle.
2. Vehicle Assignment - refers to the process by which transit vehicles are assigned to Dial a Ride pick-ups throughout the system due to variations among vehicles (age, type, size, amenities).
3. On-Time Performance - is a measure by the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) given to Dial a Ride passengers when requesting pick-up. The criterion first must define what is "on time". The measurement of on-time performance for CAT's Demand Response System will be plus or minus 10 minutes of appointment time scheduled with CAT's Dispatch.
4. Service Availability - is a general measure of the distribution of Dial a Ride within the City of Corcoran. Every five years a study of the Kings County transportation system is reviewed, and a Transit Development Plan (TDP) is written. Each year this plan is reviewed and updated accordingly. The TDP considers all aspects of the City of Corcoran and Kings County including minority areas, transit dependent individuals, transit attractors, and recommendations of transit amenities. A major part of the process of the TDP is public involvement. The City of Corcoran Transit Division CAT develops its system according to the TDP and funding availability.
X. RECORD KEEPING REQUIREMENTS
The Title VI manager shall ensure that all records relating to the City of Corcoran Transit Division CAT compliances with Title VI are maintained for a minimum of seven years.

ITEM # 6-C
FROM: Greg Gatzka, City Manager
SUBJECT: Corcoran Housing Element Approved
Summary:
The City's Housing Element as part of a joint agency document, was approved by the State and City received notice of certification on June 4, 2026.
Recommendation:
Informational Item Only
Budget impact:
None with this action. However, with the City now having a Housing Element in compliance with State Law the City has regained eligibility for receiving State housing funds such as the Permanent Local Housing Allocation funds and other grants.
Background:
The City as part of a multi-agency partnership with Kings County and the other three Cities relied upon a County contracted consultant to prepare the Housing Element update for all agencies. The Housing Element is one of the State required elements that all Cities and Counties must incorporated into their General Plans. Additionally, this plan must meet State requirements for affordable housing and other related laws. Over the past several years, substantial changes in legislation have added to the complexity of the Housing Element requirements. The consultant prepared two drafts of the multi-jurisdiction Housing Element that were submitted to the State for review, and significant additional information and revisions were needed. The resulting delays placed all four Cities and the County into non-compliance with the State after the Housing Element after the adoption deadline passed in 2024. In early 2026, the State indicated that non-compliant would in 20240n-compliar 1 2e 2um. id over 2026, agencies such as Corcoran would be turned over to the State Attorney General's office for compliance. In response, City staff in coordination with Kings County, City of Avenal, and City of Hanford staff all agreed to release the consultant and conduct the necessary revisions with in- house staff. The combined collaboration between the three Cities and County over a three month period working closely with State Department of Housing And Community Development staff, lead to the successful completion of the updated Housing Element document. On June 4, 2026, our City received State certification of City of Corcoran 6th Cycle (2024-2032) Adopted Housing Element. This certification has now restored our City's compliance and ability to secure and apply for housing funds and other related grants.

Dear Greg Gatzka:
RE: City of Corcoran 6th Cycle (2024-2032) Adopted Housing Element Thank you for submitting the City of Corcoran's (City) housing element that was adopted on May 19, 2026, and received for review on May 20, 2026. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, The California Department of Housing and Development (HCD) is reporting the result of its review.
HCD is pleased to find the adopted housing element in substantial compliance with State Housing Element Law (Gov. Code, § 65580 et seq) as of the date of this letter.
The adopted element was found to be substantially the same as the revised draft element that CD's May 8, 2026 review determined met statutory requirements.
Further, this finding is based on, among other items, Program 2.22 (Prior Identified Sites in the Sites Inventory) taking effect upon adoption to make prior identified sites available to accommodate the lower-income regional housing need allocation (RHNA).
Additionally, the City must continue timely and effective implementation of all programs including but not limited to the following:
• Program 2.4: Preservation of At-Risk Affordable Housing • Program 2.7: Affordable Housing Development Assistance • Program 2.12: Farmworker and Employee Housing
• Program 2.13: Housing for Persons with Disabilities
• Program 2.14: Promote Equal Housing Opportunities
• Program 2.16: Amend the General Plan and Zoning
• Program 2.17: Infrastructure for Affordable Housing
• Program 2.19: ADU Outreach and Incentives
• Program 2.23: Collaboration with Regional Partners
The City must monitor and report on the results of these and other programs through the annual progress report, required pursuant to Government Code section 65400.
Greg Gatzka, City Manager
