ITEMS FROM THE PUBLIC
Mayor Osorio stated that they will be tabling Agenda Items 13 and 14.
1. Lupe Martinez announced to the community and Council Members congratulations for their work and preparation for the upcoming year. He reiterated the need for the community to elect the Mayor. He stated that he’s requested this many times.
2. Pastor David Vivas in Delano continued with questions he had for Council Member Sal Solorio. He thanked Mr. Solorio for acknowledging at the November 15th meeting that he had been given some wrong information and that the school administrator, who should be identified for transparency purposes, because they should not have a person working in Agenda Item No. 3
the school district that is lying. He pointed out that many 11 year olds were not being arrested as was told to Mr. Solorio. On December 21, 2020 Mr. Solorio said at his second City Council meeting, “Research states that having police presence increases the risk of harm for brown and black students proportionately. Research does not show that an increase of presence of law enforcement officers makes a school safer.” Pastor Vivas inquired if he has facts that Delano Police on school campuses has made their schools less safe as Mr. Solorio stated. Pastor Vivas stated that if the statement is not true then he needs to retract his statement. He stated that this is not progressive thinking, but regressive thinking. He inquired why Rosalinda Rivera, the Superintendent, and the school board members, do not know that having SRO’s has made our school safer. I’ve worked with family members of victims of crime. Pastor Vivas stated that they need to be on the same page stating that cops are not the bad guys. Cops are the good guys. Pastor Vivas asked that they retract their theory because it does not apply to Delano schools.
3. Jordan Davis congratulated the Mayor and Mayor Protem. Mr. Davis stated he respects the way the City has been run and is in support of introducing the idea of electing their Mayor.
4. Yolanda Chacon Serna congratulated the Mayor, Mayor Protem and Councilmembers.
She stated that she has lost family members due to gang issues. She would like to work together and stick to the issues. With regard to Code Enforcement, she thinks they should engage the community by sending out a notice of trash pickup days. She also encouraged that the families of victims be provided support through the process.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
11) Resolution establishing the formation of a community facilities district, calling for a special election for a community facilities district, and declaring results of a special landowner election directing the recording of a special tax lien.
Introduction and first reading of an ordinance authorizing the levy of special taxes in a Community Facilities District No. 2021-1 (Pheasant Court-Quail Run) (Resolution No. 2022-68) (Resolution No. 2022-69) (Resolution No. 2022-70) (Ordinance No. 2021-1331)
Staff report provided by City Engineer Roman Dowling.
Mayor Osorio commented that some residents have been asking if this is an additional tax to which Engineer Dowling responded no, that it is the only maintenance of public improvements assessment for that subdivision. He mentioned that the City has had this requirement on all subdivisions. In the past it was a maintenance district, but it has been changed to a CFD and they both get assessed or collected by the county but the City manages the work.
Councilmember Morris inquired about the 20 different districts. Engineer Dowling responded that they have 22 or 23 in which every year they present before the council and report to the county for the county to collect those assessments. He pointed out that this CFD accomplishes the same thing, but there is less reporting requirements. The developer cannot sell homes until this requirement is met.
Public Hearing opened.
Mayor Osorio confirmed the proof of publication was in possession of the Clerk.
Clerk confirmed.
No speaker cards have been submitted.
Lupe Martinez inquired if these people are going to select some sort of committee to run the maintenance, and second he inquired about the City’s cost, and third if the people who buy the houses are going to be the ones who pay for this. Engineer Dowling responded that the developer pays for all of the improvements to be built and installed new and then the homeowners will pay this special tax for the ongoing maintenance year through year. The law does not require a committee. The Public Works takes care of managing the work to be done and they typically hire a contractor. When they are not able to have a contractor do the work the Parks Division of Public Works has to take care of the work. There is also the Edison bill for the lights and any storm drainage that requires maintenance in the future will be managed by Public Works. Any additional costs the City has to bear as it is City facilities.
Mayor Osorio closed public comments.
No comments made by the council.
Clerk confirmed there are 2 landowners withing the proposed CFD Mayor confirmed that there were 0 written protests received by the city council Clerk confirmed that the majority protest does not exist Mayor called for a motion

City Attorney read ordinance title.
12. Resolution for application of prezoning and annexation to the Kern Local Agency Formation Commission and introduction and first reading of an ordinance prezoning a 25-acre site to single family residential (R-1) (Combined Development Permit 2021-004) and annexation (37-acres) site located at the northeast corner of Browning Road and Garces Highway (APN 049-150-386) (Resolution No. 2022-71)
Staff report provided by Senior Planner Bill Card.
Councilmember Morris inquired if it is annexed in through LAFCO if it belongs to the City.
Senior Planner Card responded it is in the City limits and it is still a State Highway. The City will maintain it. Councilmember Morris inquired if the annexation includes the 25-acre to which Senior Planner Card responded affirmative.
Councilmember Alindajao asked if there are any improvements to Garces Highway between Lexington and Browning to which Senior Planner Card responded that there will still be a collaboration between the State and the City, and pointed out that there are no proposed improvements with this annexation to that section of the highway.
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz inquired if they would allow homeowners in single families zone the right to divide their lot into two and build up to three additional homes on them, essentially turning a single unit into a four unit per the passage of SB9 in September 2021. Senior Planner Card responded that they are reviewing the new state laws and at this time it does not apply to this project as nothing has been adopted by the State.
Public Hearing opened.
Valerie Gorospe asked that the microphone be moved closer so they can hear staff.
Lupe Martinez inquired about the 25 and 37 acres. Senior Planner Card explained the inquiry.
Yolanda Chacon Cerna inquired if this project will affect the beautification project for Garces Highway. City Engineer Dowling responded that this does not change any of Caltrans plans.
Yolanda further asked that the community be informed about any planning or meetings about the beautification project going forward. City Engineer Dowling stated that the project is driven by Caltrans and the portion that was discussed by them at that presentation and CalTrans will come back to present further information on the progress, as well as to get community input.
The public comment portion of the hearing is closed.
Councilmember Vasquez inquired if Caltrans gives any advance notice of their presentation. City Engineer Dowling responded typically they do, but the last time they were in a hurry and it was the week before that he heard the presentation. City Engineer Dowling indicated that he will reach out and let Caltrans know council’s concerns.
There were no further councilmember questions.

REGULAR AGENDA
13) Review and approval for appointment of applicants to the Citizens Review Committee.
Councilmember Alindajao inquired why they tabled Item 13. Mayor Osorio responded that it was tabled to further discuss the appointment that other councilmembers were asking about.
Councilmember Alindajao stated that he thought it was on the agenda so that it could be further discussed as public record. Mayor Osorio responded that there are still questions remaining on this agenda item and the protocols. Mayor Osorio responded that there are questions about the steps taken to do community outreach for this committee.
Councilmember Morris stated that she is ready to vote on this item because she sees four qualified people. She stated that she doesn’t understand what kind of questions there are now.
Councilmember Alindajao stated there is another issue of time being of the essence. He stated that he thinks there are enough applicants to be able to approve it and move on. Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz stated that he does not know if they can comment on it since it was tabled.
City Attorney Richman stated that the City’s practice is when items are pulled you kind of just go along with it, but if there is a concern that it shouldn’t be pulled then that’s different. She commented that she thinks it was the Mayor’s discretion that he wanted it to be pulled, but if the Council wants to discuss it, I’m sure he would be willing to consider that. She stated that generally the practice is when the Council pulls items you generally allow it, but if there are concerns from the Council then they may not want to pull the item. City Attorney Richman pointed out that it can be continued to obtain more outreach.
Councilmember Alindajao inquired what the outreach is for this particular item to which City Manager Reyna responded that she believes the City Clerk has outreached for this board and all boards for the whole year.
Councilmember Alindajao inquired what kinds of efforts were made in order to canvas for applicants for this board. Staff responded that their typical outreach they post it on the City website, they put it on social media, Instagram.
Mayor Osorio commented that since three of the councilmembers would like to discuss agenda item 13 they should go to public comments.
For Agenda Item 13 to review and approval for appointment of applicants to the Citizens Review Committee.
Staff report given by City Manager Reyna
Councilmember Alindajao confirmed that this is an advisory board. City Manager Reyna affirmed and commented that this is not an oversight committee as they do not have the ability to regulate or oversee. She stated that they are just a report out committee.
The public comment period is open.
Lupe Martinez commented that this committee had been in the process for quite some time. He stated that their lack of concern or ability to make this happen shows that something else is going on and causes lack of trust. He stated that if they want to gain the trust of the community they need to take care of those 5 applications.
Yolanda Chacon-Serna stated she’s been to so many meetings where there were back meetings where the community was not involved. She stated that they have been asking for this committee for years. She commented that governance is transparency, accountability, collaboration, and participation which have been very lacking.
Gloria Herrera commented that they have been asking for this committee since 2016. She stated that she applied and got selected to be on the committee, as well as Gina Adkin, Victor Lopez, Chuck Oliver, and Heather Pantoja. A quorum was not met so no action was taken. Thereafter, the committee was not approved and other applicants were taken. She state there is no transparency as to what is happening with the formation of this committee and things should be done in a better way.
City Manager Reyna commented that she does recall that Ms. Herrera was on the committee and they met, but there was no quorum. She pointed out that the committee only meets once a year.
She commented that since they only meet once a year it is very difficult to get the committee to come back in.
Gloria Herrera said the term is three consecutive years for two years, for a total of six years. She explained that there was never a committee formed and now they are getting ready to form a committee and they see that these people are interested in being on the committee, and she questions why they were not informed about forming the committee to see if she and the others were still interested in being on the committee.
Suzanne Villaruz commented that the councilmembers can pull an agenda if they still want to talk about it. She pointed out that this committee meets once a year to read a report and do nothing else. City Manager Reyna confirmed that it is a review committee only and not an oversight committee. Suzanne inquired if the committee’s report can be published. City Manager Reyna responded that she would have to defer to the Finance Director.
Suzanne Villaruz also inquired that if five people served in 2016 and two people showed up for the job, and it was just one meeting, then in 2017 they should have been contacted again if their term was three years. She inquired if the committee members were contacted. She inquired if the December 14th presentation is required for the report. She commented that if all the council is going to do is listen to it then there are five good people and the council can listen to the report and start over in January.
Arthur Rodriguez commented that they should start the applications again because there is going to be a lot of favoritism on this. He requested that they look into this as some of the committee people may not be here anymore.
Yolanda Vega inquired if this committee has been in compliance in 2016 she was in a meeting when shortly thereafter Ms. Herrera received her letter and it was stated that no committee was going to be formed. Yolanda stated that she sits at the council meetings and not once has this committee been mentioned when they have asked for a committee and for a report numerous times throughout the years. She stated they have yet to receive any.
Finance Director Rios for the City of Delano stated that in September 2011 the City was in a dire financial situation. She commented that in regards to Measure U and Measure I, it was adopted in 2008 and the committee did meet in 2011 because she presented a report to them around October or November 2011. Thereafter, there was a lack of quorum where some people had left and moved. She recalls that the City Clerk at that time, Phyllis Kraft, did do some outreach and they started to get some applications. However, when it came down to trying to meet there was a lack of quorum. She pointed out that the City has continued efforts to try and recruit for this committee. She stated that it is not a lack of transparency. She added that the City gets audited every year and the financials are audited and certified by a public accountants. She also stated they are audited by the State, Department of Finance. She stated that there is nobody who is stealing money in the City right now since she’s been the Director. She stated that the funds have been accounted for and the audited financial report is posted to the City’s website annually. She confirmed that they try to make the effort to communicate to the community and be transparent.
She further stated that the budget is approved by council biannually. In addition, monthly reports are provided to the council. She further stated that they use social media to communicate with the community, as well as a flyer to outlines the whole committees at the direction of Mayor Pro Tem Vasquez. She stated the City’s financials are better since she’s been with the City.
The public hearing is closed.
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz stated that asking questions about this item is in no way attacking the character of Ms. Rios. He is hearing that some people believe that their voices are not being heard. Out of five applicants two are on board and he would like to see other folks get involved as well, even if it just means once a year. He explained this is why he would like to take more time to outreach. He inquired of the City Manager what outreach strategies have been utilized other than social media.
The City Manager responded that it is the paper and social media is the highest communication method that they have. They have the bill insert as well. The other possibility is to do another direct mail.
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz inquired if there were other previous members on this board and if they were contacted about the vacancies. The City Manager responded that they were contacted in 2016 and 2017 and they are on a three year term, however because the different members tend to move or there’s conflicting schedules, they have had a lack of quorum. She stated that there has been an effort to outreach and a significant effort made by the City Clerk and the Deputy City Clerk to post it during the month of November. She also pointed out that they know this has been pointed out by the Grand Jury. She reiterated that it is at the pleasure of the Council if the Council decides to table the issue/item, in which case they will not be able to meet until 2022, at which time again they will continue to recruit so that by the time December comes around they can see who’s available.
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz inquired if they can move the date to which the City Manager responded that she would have to review the ballot to answer that question. Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz stated that to vote on this on the 20th they could be on the 21st, 22nd, or 23rd. He inquired if the past members who were on the board are considered expired members? City Manager Reyna responded that they were contacted, but the City Clerk could provide a clear answer to this question.
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz inquired if they didn’t technically meet because there was no quorum, to which City Manager Reyna responded in the affirmative. It was confirmed that if there is a lack of quorum and they don’t meet they are still considered a member to which City Manager Reyna responded yes. Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz commented that he doesn’t think they should be considered a member if they don’t meet, and especially if Ms. Gloria if she is showing up. City Manager Reyna responded it is because of the time they were appointed by council; that’s when the clock begins to run.
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz confirmed that the vacancy on the boards have not been stated at a council meeting to which Staff responded that she cannot answer that question. Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz stated that he would like the public to know about any board vacancies and would like this to be integrated in. He further commented that the Staff and Council have discussed having more communication with the public when it comes to things that are being voted on.
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz stated that he would like to table this item and see if they can have the meeting on the 21st or 22nd and go from there.
Councilmember Morris apologized for the appearance of rushing things. She said she’s agreeable to other applicants and knows the city has been diligent with notifying the public. If it’s the consensus of the council to wait to get more applicants she’s okay with that.
Councilmember Vasquez stated that she is comfortable tabling this and is comfortable with having a special meeting before the 14th to get more applicants. She stated that she did send an email to meet with the City Manager and City Clerk to discuss holding a special meeting. She also commented that she does not see this as a reflection of the finance person, and it is more of an issue with those who have asked and want to be on this committee and the committee just didn’t happen. She stated she wants fairness to happen.
Councilmember Alindajao inquired when the last time was that they actually had a budget or measure review committee meeting. City Manager Reyna responded she could not say, and reiterated that the difficulty the city has had is that when individuals apply it’s the delay in when they meet that it’s difficult to get them as a group. He commented that the 2016 applicants’ term expired in 2019.
Councilmember Alindajao stated that he does not see the need to keep postponing this. On one hand a lot of people are saying they want accountability and oversight and now that it’s here the council wants to wait and it sounds as though it’s code for I don’t like the people that are on the committee. He stated that they are here and ready to have the committee on December 14th. He further commented that he sees Mr. Velasco’s application timestamped by the City Clerk’s Office on October 6, 2021. He inquired how these five people find out what is going on and inquired if they have special information. He suggests that they move on with the applicants they have now, let them meet, and not politicize the committee.
Councilmember Vasquez stated that she’s been at council meetings and she has heard who has sat on this committee and she is pretty sure in 2019 because of the pandemic people did not have a meeting or were not notified. She indicated that she knows those that were on the committee and probably don’t have social media, and that is the reason she was asking this item to be tabled. She believes at this point they are discriminating against those don’t have social media.
Mayor Osorio stated that he has one clarifying question with regard to clearing the audits and any consequences of not meeting. City Manager Reyna responded that it is at Council’s pleasure if Council wishes not to appoint anybody and if the miss the deadline then again they just don’t meet. She did not believe that there are any specific consequences. She brought to the Council’s attention that this is a committee that the Grand Jury has pointed out that the City has failed to appoint.
Mayor Osorio acknowledged that concern with the Grand Jury. He stated he understands the current applicant’s positions, but he would like to get more applicants for this committee for a three year long commitment.
Councilmember Vasquez stated she preferences tabling this and do a special meeting if they can do it for the 20th. City Manager Reyna responded that they will have to check the ballot language as to what the requirements are and if a special meeting can be done. If the Council is unable to appoint then it just goes one more year.
Council member Solorio-Ruiz inquired if they can hold a special meeting before the 14th. City Manager Reyna responded that they would need to notice it and coordinate. Mayor Osorio commented that before the 14th is not feasible due to timing.
Council member Morris stated that she thinks they should appoint Mrs. Herrera and Council Member Solorio-Ruiz stated that she has not applied. Council can appoint whoever they want as long as they meet the requirement.
Councilmember Alindajao moved to approve Item 13 to approve the applicants, including Ms. Gloria Herrera on the panel so they can meet on the 14th and get this done. 2nd by: Councilmember Morris
Mayor Osorio requested a pause to ask for feedback. He asked the thoughts of the other Councilmembers. Solorio-Ruiz stated that there are two individuals who are trying to apply who are already on boards and he personally feels like they are not allowing folks who are not on the board to apply. He stated that he’s okay with Mr. Velasquez and Marisol, and Ms. Herrera to be on the committee and that would be quorum. Then they would outreach to two people.
Council member Vasquez stated that if they are going to do that and look for people she is more comfortable tabling the entire item so that outreach can happen to those that are not here so they can be fair.
Vote: 2-3 – Motion Fails
Ayes: Alindajao, Morris
Nays: Vasquez, Solorio-Ruiz, Osorio
Absent: None
Abstentions: None
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz stated that it is not asking too much to approve Velasquez, Alcantar, and Ms. Herrera and outreach to the other two people. He pointed out that two applicants are already on a board and they need to allow more people to come into these boards if they want to. He would just like to have more outreach to the community. City Attorney Richman pointed out that just appointing three does not guarantee there will be a quorum for the meeting if someone doesn’t show up. Council Member Solorio-Ruiz inquired if anyone in the audience would like to be on this board.
Councilmember Vasquez commented that she would like to table this item due to her fairness issues. She is not comfortable with just picking and choosing and that she would like a full selection of applicants.
Councilmember Vasquez moved to table Item 13.

14) Discussion regarding Ordinance to allow Cannabis uses in Delano.
Item tabled by Mayor Osorio.
15) Discussion and direction on allocating funds for distribution of an annual City of Delano Review Report to residents.
Staff report given by City Manager Reyna.
Hearing opened for public comments. None.
Public hearing is closed.
Councilmember Vasquez inquired if at this time there is no cost and the council would be discussing the cost to execute. The City Manager responded in the affirmative stating that this is not a typical publication of the city so it is not budgeted. Therefore, she would be requesting some direction and a budget.
Councilmember Vasquez asked if the budget included the PR person and could this be part of that PR percent to put the information out. City Manager Reyna responded that they could look at that line item and they could use the funds that are budgeted there for this item.
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz inquired if they know the exact amount allocated, to which City Manager Reyna responded they don’t because they haven’t had the chance to get any type of bids or proposals for the publication and mailing.
Councilmember Vasquez asked for the money that is set aside for the PR person if they have already outreached to have someone readily available so when these items come up they can put it out there. She asked for further clarification on the PR funds. City Attorney Richman responded that it could be a not to exceed amount and they can give council direction to look at that PR account and see if they can use that money there and if it can’t be done for that not to exceed then they would need to come back again to get further direction from the Council.
Councilmember Vasquez further inquired if they are looking at doing mailers and the cost of mailers. Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz inquired if Staff thinks it might be more than what the City Manager can approve to which City Manager Reyna responded in the negative.
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz inquired if they could approve it today with the restrictions of the City Manager’s restrictions. The City Manager confirmed that the direction is to move forward and mail it out to all city residents as long as it doesn’t exceed City Manager’s limit. If more funds are needed it can come back to the council on the 20th.
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz stated his concern is to include for the languages of Tagalog, Spanish, and English, by the month of January, and requested there be a QR code for either a full report if they’re only sending a little mailer, as well as put a vaccine appointment if possible.
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz stated that vacant board positions can be on the mailer as well.
Councilmember Vasquez inquired if this would include the planning commission, to which Staff responded it would basically be a redo of the report that was received, but Staff would be tweaking it instead of to Council from City Manager it would be from Council to the residents.
Some things that come out and go to the Planning Commission like a special interest that you would like reflected in the report if you let her know she will include it. Councilmember Vasquez commented the other thing would be a general plan.
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz requested if possible to have a draft on the 20th so they can take a look at it.
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz moved to approve Item 15.

16) Discussion of Low-Income, Energy Data-Sharing Pilot Program between Public Utility Companies and City of Delano.
Staff report given by Mayor Osorio.
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz inquired why this is not an action item. Mayor Osorio stated there is additional context.
Terrance Shaw, Director for Water Division at the California Public Utility Commission, gave a presentation.
Kevin Trumb continued the presentation.
No councilmember questions.
Public hearing opened for questions.
Suzanne Villaruz asked when customers can opt out and also inquired why So Cal Gas isn’t involved with this pilot program.
Lupe Martinez inquired that since utility companies are very adamant in sharing data how is the data going to be shared as there are other pilot programs involved and they do not share data with anybody.
Public hearing closed.
Sean Cosgrow from Sanger Valley Water replied to some of the questions. He stated that SoCal Gas does participate in this same program. He stated that they offer their customers the ability to opt out and opting out means that they’ve received from Edison or the gas company the information to add the individual to their low income program at the water and they give the customer the option to opt out of the discount. They only share to the gas company those individuals who are already enrolled in their low income program. He stated that they do not share every customer with them. He pointed out that the companies are bound to nondisclosed and proper security with customer information. He stated that the information is all encrypted data sharing and it is a very limited data set that is given to the other companies. The information given is a surname and a service address. He pointed out that it would be up to the water purveyor to determine what opting out.
Councilmember Alindajao inquired what the opt out process is for customers that choose that path. Sean responded that there are two processes. The customers who are going to be auto assigned to the lower income program based on the data they get from the power utilities is sent a simple one page, three paragraph letter that says that you have been selected and this will start in 30 days, and if you choose not to participate contact them or send the letter back.
Councilmember Alindajao further inquired if the opt out process a default, to which Sean responded the opting in for participation in the low income program is a default. They assume that if someone is getting a discount from Edison, they would like a discount from the water company. He stated that they give them the option to opt out and they do get some people who opt out. With respect to the customer sharing information with Edison from the water company, part of their application to get the low income program states that you agree to share this information with the power utilities to qualify you automatically for their programs. It is a default authorization when you sign up for the discount program.
Councilmember Alindajao inquired if that is because the default offers a discount to the end user to which Sean responded in the affirmative.
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz thanked Sean for his presentation on this important issue. He inquired if people get on the list even though they don’t qualify. Sean clarified that if the customer is not part of their low income program they are not shared. You have to be in their program in order for the information to be shared.
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz further inquired what the estimate of percentage of people who normally don’t opt out, but allow for opt in and use the service. Sean responded that they have a water service of about 94,000 services and they have well over 40,000 low income customers who are opted into their program. He pointed out that every year they have no more than three or four that opt out.
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz inquired what amount allows them to qualify. Sean responded that it varies by the number in the household. He explained that they also qualify based on other assistance programs that they participate in. That information is not shared with the other utilities. He stated that it is $53,000 for a family of four, but it goes up with every household.
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz stated that he thinks this is a great program and they should look into this.
Councilmember Morris stated that she does not quite fully understand the program. She stated that her concern is how it will affect their water assistance program and what the cost to the budget is. Terrence responded that there aren’t specific numbers, but rather it depends on various perimeters and dependent on the number of electrical households and the total number of households.
Mayor Osorio stated that this is a good question that needs to be answered.
Councilmember Morris stated that she knows they have their own system in the community and there are certain people that qualify. She is interested to know if more people are going to qualify and how is that going to affect their budget and water system.
City Manager Reyna inquired if it is a subsidy program or does the City get reimbursed or is the City just taking a loss that would effect the water fund. Mayor Osorio responded it would use the remaining amount of funds within the states assistance program. City Manager Reyna inquired if the City would get reimbursed from the State’s utility assistance program. City Manager Reyna commented that since that is a limited and non-reoccurring fund once those funds are used does that mean the customer would no longer receive the discount. Mayor Osorio responded in the affirmative. Therefore, it would apply only while those funds were available.
City Manager Reyna inquired if the funds would be spread out amongst the low income customers to which Mayor Osorio responded in the affirmative. And the City will receive the Edison as opposed to the customer coming in or applying themselves, which is broader implementation of using the HUD funds. City Manager Reyna stated that they would probably have to check with the federal funding source to make sure because they will be audited on each customer that receives assistance and they will have to make sure the documentation is available for auditing purposes.
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz inquired if this new program would have less restrictions compared to their current program. Sean responded that he assumes Edison and the gas company will share what their restrictions are. The poverty line % would have to be verified, and the City may want to adjust to meet this %. He stated the water company shares the same requirements as Edison and the gas company. With regard to the audit, they accept that Edison and the gas company have given them verified data and the water company does not get the actual details about their customers. Terrence from the PC further commented that the eligibility for income falls under similar public assistance programs such as Medicaid, Medical, WIC, and these qualifications do extend to this low income assistance program.
Mayor Osorio stated he does want to bring this up again.

He pointed out that a similar situation occurred with Councilman Solorio-Ruiz stated every school administrator stated that 11-year-olds were being arrested by SROs. He pointed out that they were never informed who the administrator was, and he questions if that administrator’s name was ever given to the superintendent of school counsel for reprimand, or was this person just made up to make the SRO’s look bad.

He inquired if Councilman Solorio-Ruiz went to the school board meetings and express his concern to them and prove to them that having Delano Police Officers on school grounds makes schools less safe.

She feels that the records have not been transparent. She stated that if there is to be transparency, they need all city staff and city council members to be transparent. She stated that she would like to see more city government in the city council meetings instead of the witch hunts that are going on. She commented that if Jose Gaspar is going to be reporting he should be reporting on all sides. 7) Lupe Martinez stated that people do get frustrated when the city council does not respond to questions being asked during public comments.

Mr. Edgar responded that it will be phased in so it will be fully in effect on January 21, 2023.
He pointed out that the cost to comply for staffing is predicted to be $150,000 in additional costs to procure the compost, as well as an extra person at Star, and they are looking to find out the costs for the commercial compost at Shafter-Wasco landfill.
Council Member Morris stated this is a big project and she questions the cost to the city. She noted the budget mentions a grant for $68,000, but the projected cost is $150,000. She stated she does not know how the additional cost will be passed on to the residents. She commented that she spoke with Mr. Dowling and he stated that it’s going to involve a lot of businesses.
Mr. Edgar responded that the Kern County Shafter-Wasco compost rates will remain the same on the residential collection. He is working with the county on the commercial rate. He hopes when he comes back next month he will have the final SB1383 Action Plan that will have the commercial rates. He stated that statewide the average commercial rate increase has been 28%.
Council Member Morris inquired about donating the extra food to food banks.
Mr. Edgar responded that a huge component is feeding hungry people first.
Council Member Solorio-Ruiz thanked Mr. Edgar for presenting. He stated he shared similar concerns as Council Member Morris. He would like to find a way to collaborate with the food distributions that are already occurring in the city.
Mayor Osorio confirmed that there would be no residential increase in rates to which Mr. Edgar responded that it would be very minimal and incremental to make up the difference from the grant and the budgeted amount. Mayor Osorio inquired if the grant will be an annual grant or just a one-time grant to which Mr. Edgar responded it is a one-time grant and it has to be used for an SB 1383 program.
Mayor Osorio inquired what the residential rates will be after the first year when the grant money is no longer available.
Mr. Edgar responded that due to current inflationary issues there will be increased rates but incrementally for residential and for commercial it could be somewhat significant.
Mayor Osorio inquired how the separation of organic waste is going to be done and what responsibility falls on the residents.
Mr. Edgar stated the law falls upon the city and generators and is enforceable/fineable on the generators. He further stated there will be a STARR garbage man and an auditor who goes out and look at lids, as well as provide education in which the City will be the enforcer.
Council Member Alindajao reiterated that this is a new state law that requires the processing of organics and the impact is going to be an increase in waste disposal fees of every citizen in the city. The state is generous to help with the first-year costs but after that there will no longer be any state support.
Mr. Edgar responded that CalCycle will be there for tools, workshops, and they will be partners with the city to make sure that statewide we get 75%.
Council Member Alindajao commented with respect to fines and fees are permissive but inquired what the fines and fees are on the municipality of the City of Delano.
Mr. Edgar responded that right now there is potential for a fine of up to $10,000 a day starting after 2024. He pointed out that if Delano chooses not to do this than CalCycle is going to look at Delano. He stated that Delano has a good program with infrastructure being built so he doesn’t see any fines coming on the City of Delano if they follow through with the program.
Council Member Alindajao inquired about tier participants.
Mr. Edgar clarified that Tier 1 is commercial food waste generators (edible food recovery) such as schools, Wal-Marts, and Tier 2 starts in 2024 are the restaurants.
Councilmember Alindajao inquired if there are any pending lawsuits on this law.
Mr. Edgar responded that statewide it’s embraced. He pointed out that Kern County Board of Supervisors recently had a big push back on the rates and tabled the discussion due to the rate increase.
Council Member Alindajao inquired at what point the public get on the hook for the state mandate.
Mr. Edgar stated they are going to start January 21, 2023. Councilmember Alindajao further inquired about the financial impact on the community and if they have to wait for the county to decide the price point.
Mr. Edgar responded in the affirmative for the commercial organics.
Council Member Alindajao inquired of Mr. Dowling if at some point they will get an economic impact report on the City Costs for this program.
City Engineer Dowling responded that currently they are looking at about $150,000 annually, but there still are some unknowns. He stated that their franchise hauler has to hire one person to do this reporting. He pointed out that this project needs to be approved in order to receive the grant money.

REGULAR AGENDA
13) Discussion and approval declaring to amend the City of Delano’s holiday schedule for bargaining units to reinstate “Cesar E. Chavez Day” (March 31) and add the state holiday “Larry Itliong Day” (October 25) enacted by California Governor Brown on June 30, 2015.
Councilmember Morris gave her presentation. She stated that both men have worked in the community to change the farm labor conditions of the City of Delano.
Mayor Osorio asked if staff could share the reason for removing Cesar Chavez Day.
Human Resources Director Zamudio responded that she was part of the negotiations team in renewing the new contracts and the employees were granted the 10 hour work days which required a restructuring of the holidays because in the past the holidays were paid eight hour days. She pointed out to keep the total number of hours the same the holidays were reduced, thus they elected to take the Fridays in which at that time they were not given the authority to increase holidays. She further stated that the Council can direct for the holidays to be added back on and the holidays would be 10 hour holidays.
Mayor Osorio opened public comment.
Yolanda Vega stated she is in support of the holidays.
Yolanda Chacon Serna stated she is in support of this item.
Suzanne Villaruz stated she is in support of this item.
Gloria Herrera stated she is in support of this item.
Lupe Martinez thanked Councilmember Morris for bringing these holidays back.
Mayor Osorio closed public comment.
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz thanked Councilmember Morris for bring this item forward. He stated he would like to champion and extend these two men’s efforts through City policy efforts to the current farmworkers.
Mayor Pro Tem Vasquez stated she supports labor leaders and agrees to adding these holidays back.
Council Member Alindajao inquired with the budgetary impact will be in giving two additional days as part of the agreement. He further asked who didn’t want to add the additional days.
Human Resources Director Zamudio responded that when the units requested the ten hour days, there needed to be clean up of the holidays so therefore they did not have the authority to add holidays. She further stated when negotiating they decided to do a wash and if they had 13.5 holidays and they gave them ten or eleven holidays it would still increase their hours, but not as many as keeping all 13.5 holidays. She pointed out that they still gain hours but in writing it was less days off. She also stated that the units could not decide which holidays to keep so the city proposed the holidays and the unit accepted.
They tried to come as close to the hours as they could without a budgetary impact.
Council Member Alindajao inquired if the City anticipates being on a four day work schedule indefinitely.
Human Resources Director Zamudio responded that it was negotiated so if the City wants to go back to eight hours it would have to be renegotiated, thus they do anticipate staying on the ten hour work schedule.
Council Member Alindajao inquired if the City Council can unilaterally change the agreement just as if they wanted to change the five day or four day work schedule.
Human Resources Director Zamudio responded that this does require a meet and confer so you do have to allow the unions input and allow them to negotiate.
Council Member Alindajao stated that he is in support of Council Member Morris’ proposal on this item. He was concerned about the reasons why those days off are happening. He just wanted to confirm that they are moving forward appropriately. He further stated that he does not want to increase the budget by $106,000 every year, and inquired if there are ideas that the Council can consider how to get to the goal and reduce the impact on the City budget.
Human Resources Director Zamudio responded that if you want to give the additional days it will cost the City $106,000.
Council Member Alindajao inquired if the four or five day work schedule will continue to the end of the current contract period.
Human Resources Director Zamudio responded it will continue until it’s renegotiated even if the contract expires.
Mayor Osorio supports honoring these two men and to respect their workers.

14) Discussion regarding ordinance to allow Cannabis uses in Delano. (Continued from January 18, 2022) (This matter will not be discussed due to staff gathering more information at the request of the Mayor.)
No discussion.
15) Discussion of Hope and Heal Fund presentation. (Discussion Only and No Action) Mr. Rodriguez gave his presentation.
Public comments opened.
Yolanda Chacon Serna stated her support.
Pastor Vivas thanked Mr. Rodriguez for taking an interest in their community. He stated there should be a discussion on this report as the report is not conclusive of the City of Delano as there are a lot of things in the report that are not true of Delano. He stated that his concern is that they focus on the real issues in Delano. He pointed out that the cops are not the problem, and that they have a gang problem. Pastor Vivas said they have programs in Delano that would help their youth. He inquired how one of the respondents knows that most guns in Delano are not registered. Pastor Vivas pointed out that the report states no one is reaching out to the mothers of murdered children, however he himself has been reaching out to some of the mothers. He inquired about reaching out to the fathers. Pastor Vivas stated the report needs to be corrected so they can have a real discussion.
Lydia Rodriguez stated her son was murdered two years ago. She commented on what it costs the City to do their police work, and what the value of a life is of someone you love.
She inquired what the people of Delano are doing with the gang issues. She stated that people are scared to speak out due to retaliation. She thanked the Council for addressing this issue.
Gloria Herrera thinks they should offer vocational training and technology training to the youth.
Lupe Martinez stated he agrees with all the comments. He commented on the city of San Jose that is working on registered gun owners obtaining liability insurance which might work with the Hope and Heal program.
Suzanne Villaruz agreed with previous comments made. She stated there are corrections to the report. She stated they need to educate the parents. She further commented that their outreach from the schools, hospitals and community groups needs to be coordinated so they are saying the same message, which is they support their children and law and order in their community. She thanked Mr. Rodriguez for his presentation.
Yolanda Vega thanked Mr. Rodriguez for his presentation. She commented that the City and the community need to work together to solve the gang issues in Delano.
Mario Nunez stated they need to get parents involved or there will not be any progress.
He inquired why the recreation centers are closed when the kids are out of school. He also pointed out that they need to give the police department the resources they need to fight gang violence. He pointed out that when he worked in law enforcement having a gang unit curbed gang violence 80% because the gangs were held accountable and they went to jail when they did not comply.
Judge Robert Tafoya stated he has a written plan going forward that he would like to submit for consideration.
Public hearing closed.
Mr. Rodriguez replied to some of the comments and inquiries made. He pointed out that it does cost money to investigate a homicide, but if money was spent on the prevention side there actually is a cost savings. He pointed out that their job was to respond to the comments brought forth by the community which was intervention and not more police resources. He stated their job was to create the dialogue that is occurring right now with the community.
Mayor Pro Tem Vasquez inquired if they move forward as a community would they be involved with the process or would he just provide a report and it will be handed off.
Mr. Rodriguez responded that their commitment is to the community and will support the City with resources if requested.
Council Member Solorio-Ruiz thanked Mr. Rodriguez for his continued support in Delano. He suggested that they have a conversation about gun laws and how the youth are obtaining access to guns. He appreciates Justice Tafoya’s commitment to the community.
Council Member Morris stated she appreciates Mr. Rodriguez’s report and all of the comments stated. He thanked Judge Tafoya to his commitment to working in Delano. She stated she is interested in his plan.
Council Member Alindajao thanked Mr. Rodriguez for his work. He stated initially he did have some concerns with the report. He inquired why the scientific method was not utilized when trying to gage metrics on violence and the number of guns on the street.
Mr. Rodriguez replied that the science is that Delano is a community of 25,000, 50,000 people with an extremely high gun death rate. For them part of the conversation is to engage stakeholders with various perspectives. He commented that given the way that data is collected for gun violence it does not fare well for small communities, because if the death rate doesn’t go beyond a certain amount, if it’s populated into county data, the numbers that Delano had in past years contributes to like 10-15% of total gun violence in Kern County. He pointed out that their job is not to dictate what interventions are to be used but to involve community members with any resources they may want or need.
Council Member Alindajao inquired about the report’s claim that Delano has a high death rate and inquired if Mr. Rodriguez can cite his source for this claim. He inquired what metrics are used to form this conclusion. Mr. Rodriguez responded that he can provide that information. He pointed out that for the last 10 years Delano’s death rate fluctuates between 5 and in 2017 it jumped up to 9 or 10 and for a community of 45, 000 people that’s considerably high in comparison to the state average. Mr. Rodriguez pointed out that they work with small rural communities because they believe through the stakeholder process communities can solve these issues a lot easier in terms of financial investments and interventions than Los Angeles.
Council Member Alindajao stated that he agrees in principle that reducing violence in the community is the issue. He stated that in order to solve this problem they need to understand the scope of the problem. He pointed out that he believes the data in the report is inconclusive. Council Member Alindajao inquired if Mr. Rodriguez is talking about just the homicide rate or other types of violent crimes as well like robberies and burglaries.
Mr. Rodriguez said they focus on the homicide rate and incidents with guns.
Council Member Alindajao pointed out that the City is spending millions on cameras which is completely false as the most that is spent on cameras is $100,000. He pointed out that criminals are not going to follow the law no matter what kind of laws there are. Mr. Rodriguez commented that cameras are not a prevention strategy and neither are police investigations. He pointed out that they use a prevention and intervention strategy and after care strategy.
Council Member Alindajao stated that an objective scientific method for collection of this data is important because without it the report leaves out the policing in Delano and makes the city sound like every young Hispanic is targeted by the Delano Police Department.
The scientific method would provide this information objectively so they can truly understand the problems in the community. Council Member Alindajao stated he supports Judge Tafoya. He commented that he believes they had a reduction in homicides between 2021 and 2020. He stated that he disagrees with Mr. Rodriguez that cameras are not preventive as there is a lot of information available to show that surveillances cameras do prevent a lot of crime. Council Member Alindajao inquired what the balance is between law enforcement and community input and should it be 90% community effort and 10% to actual law enforcement like license plate readers, anti-gang initiatives at the police department, surveillances cameras.
Mr. Rodriguez responded they leave it up to the community to make those decisions.
He commented that their job is to start the conversation and then provide resources.
He explained that if the police department are doing things that are prevention then that would go under the prevention plan, and surveillance cameras would go under the intervention plan. He explained that if they have plan that includes prevention, intervention, and after care then if provides the structure to identify where the gaps are. Mr. Rodriguez stated that how those categories are allocated depends on the community.
Council Member Alindajao thanked Mr. Rodriguez for his hard work. He stated he is going to ask that this be put on a seven-person anti-gang and violence committee with two councilmembers and five community members in order to address these issues.
Council Member Solorio-Ruiz stated that for clarification page 4 states the quote that Mr.
Alindajao is referring to about the cameras. The report states that respondents, or people in the community who have had a conversation with Mr. Rodriguez stated, “Several respondents specifically named their frustration with the City’s investment of “millions of dollars on cameras that really haven’t done anything”.” He stated he sees the report as community feedback.
Mayor Osorio stated that is a good conversation starter and thanked everyone for their comments.
16) Discussion of Team Building Exercises for City Council.
This item is tabled so Ms. Vasquez can get more information.
DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS
None.
COUNCIL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
Councilmember Morris: She stated with regard to Measure “U: that they are very transparent with the Measure “U” monies and the Measure “U” monies go into the general budget where in the general budget projects that can’t be funded from any other source of money it comes out of Measure “U.” She pointed out that sometimes alleys are not covered through funding with the State so they will pull from the Measure “U” funds to make the repairs needed. She also pointed out that sometimes Measure “I” funds are used to purchase police cars. Council Member Morris said funding for youth programs comes out of Measure I or U funds. She pointed out that any funds used from Measure U and I comes before the Council and is voted upon.
Councilmember Alindajao: He shared that he was involved in a Mock Trial Competition in Bakersfield. He pointed out that City Clerk Mr. Chavez has been a Mock Trial Coach for over a decade in Delano and has seen many successes. Council Member Alindajao stated that he along with Mr. Chavez and the superintendent of schools and are wanting to help all the schools in Delano with their Mock Trial Teams. Councilmember Alindajao commented that there are two crab feeds this year. He also commented as to the divisiveness of the City Council and he believes this is preventing a lot of important work to be done. He mentioned the Measure “U” and “I” Committee went another year without some oversight by the community. He pointed out that there’s vacancies on the Building Commission and other committees. He believes the applicants come to these meetings and get caught up in the divisiveness and the Council is not advancing some of the important issues and filling the open committee positions. He suggested that at the next Council meeting they put on the agenda for discussion and vote a change of ordinance to make every committee that is related to the City Council so that every Council Member can just appoint a committee member to that committee rather than having to vote on it as a block. He stated that he believes this would make it less divisive politically and it puts the burden on each Councilmember to find qualified individuals. Council Member Alindajao also directed Staff for the next Council meeting to put on the agenda a discussion for the creation of an anti-gang and violence committee with seven members, which would include himself, another councilmember, and five appointed community members. He feels this would facilitate addressing the issues in the community such as law enforcement, ways to enforce the law and reduce crime, and youth programs. He stated he’s not an advocate of only a law enforcement solution to these issues, but rather a combination and collaboration between law enforcement efforts and community efforts. Councilmember Alindajao stated with regard to Mr. Gutierrez’s issues, they have to all look at themselves and figure out what they want. He commented that the City Council Members need to police themselves and the community has to ask what they want and expect of their elected officials. Council Member Alindajao addressed the allegations by Ms.
Rodriguez against Council Member Solorio. He stated that he was briefed on the issue and he received a lot of phone calls from some of his constituents. He stated he knows the Pastor Vivas wrote a letter to the Mayor which is now public record. He pointed out that when we’re elected to office the community expects councilmembers to uphold the law and to live ethically, lawfully, and beyond reproach. With regard to the allegations, Mr. Solorio is entitled to the presumption of innocence as these are merely allegations and may not have any basis in fact or merit. He pointed out that it is not within the authority of City Council to investigate these allegations or direct any authority to conduct an investigation. He further added that because the allegations are potentially criminal this investigation has to be left to law enforcement agencies.
He stated that only the victim and Mr. Solorio know the truth and if the allegations are true he suggested Mr. Solorio resign. However, if Mr. Solorio can look the public in the eye and categorically say that the victim’s allegations are false than he should stand his ground. He stated he believes the community needs to hear from Mr. Solorio to know where he stands.
Mayor Pro Tem Vasquez: She commented that with regard to the committees she doesn’t understand why they just don’t make a decision and fill the vacant positions. She stated she is not comfortable sitting on these votes. She is concerned with how long it will take to change a city ordinance as suggested. She would like to have the open committees on the Agenda so they can just vote on it. She further stated that she appreciates an article on how the City of Delano started having counseling for a support group to victims of violent crime. She stated this was started in October 2021 with counseling every Tuesday.
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz: He invited the public to the food distribution on Saturday, February 12th from 2-4 p.m. He recommended that Staff place on a future Agenda, perhaps the second meeting in April, time to consider establishing a job fair in Delano.
Mayor Osorio: He thanked City Staff for all of their work. He thanked Ms. Yolanda Chacon for her advocacy for safer streets. He stated this past weekend he attended the 2nd inauguration of the Toys Youth Soccer League. He also mentioned in regard to previous issues with housing policies he does want to pursue those in the coming months. He commented that he received complaints about Downing and 17th Street intersection and parental concerns with their students’ high school as it relates to traffic safety. Mayor Osorio expressed his condolences to family and friends of Mr. Hubert Rabanal.

ITEMS FROM THE PUBLIC
1) Yolanda Vega commented on previous comments made by Mike Gutierrez (DADD). She stated that Mr. Gutierrez has launched the Navigation Center which did not allow any of the parents or the constituents of the DADD to have a voice in the homeless Navigation Center. Her concern is that the City Manager and the City Attorney have allowed Mr.
Gutierrez access to City employee records and investigations and has allowed Mr.
Gutierrez to divulge city information. She also stated that the City Manager and Attorney have not intervened and have not said anything regarding these divulged city employee records. She would like to know how the city is going to rectify this matter. 2) Frank Wooldridge stated he is employed with the Law Offices of Young Wooldridge in Bakersfield stated that he serves as a board member of the Delano City Alliance Committee. He will save his comments for Agenda Item 19.
Agenda Item No. 6
3) Claribel Gutierrez commented they need to address issues of what the City Council is doing and why they are or are not doing it with regard to policies and procedures of the city as a whole.
4) Lupe Martinez stated he agrees with Ms. Vega in that they need to see how and where this information has been leaked and where the leak comes from. He also commented about the water in Delano as he thought they were going to have the plan for the 1-2-3-TC-P. He inquired if that has been implemented and if they are complying with the mandate on the contamination. Mr. Martinez stated he would like to know about the Grand Jury’s Measure U and he inquired if the committee members have been selected and if they have met. If the committee has met he would like to know what happened with the application that he submitted as he has not received a response to his application.
Mr. Gutierrez also inquired about the Grand Jury’s comments about having districts in Delano and who the agencies are that will help them facilitate this. 5) Pastor David Vivas followed up to his last comment at the City Council Meeting regarding his inquires to Councilmember Solorio which he has not received any response.
He commented that so many people in Delano have noticed Councilmember Solorio’s lack of response to questions and concerns. Another concern he has is that on August 7, 2020 Candidate Solorio in front of City Hall made comments about the violence in Delano stating he did not blame an individual but he blamed the entire system. Pastor Vivas pointed out that on January 31, 2020 his son was shot and killed and inquired if Councilmember Solorio believes that the individual who pulled the trigger is responsible for his son’s death. Pastor Vivas further stated that on December 31, 2020 after Solorio is elected he says that having cops or peace officers on school grounds makes schools less safe. Pastor Vivas stated these outlandish statements made by Councilmember Solorio need to be explained. He again asked Councilmember Solorio to explain his concerns and questions in his closing comments and asked him to have a public sit down discussion with himself and any other parent on livestream so Councilmember Solorio’s constituents can hear questions asked so they can have a transparent discussion. 6) Grace Vallejo let the Council know that she appreciates and values their decision on the meeting that was held earlier. She stated she is in full support of going back to in person.
She pointed out that you can’t really see the speaker and you can’t see all of the Councilmembers. She believes in person will carry more value for the residents. 7) Anthony Cortez commented on Vice Mayor Vasquez’s action of preventing a police officer from performing his sworn duties. He inquired if this means she took him off the streets for a period of time when he should have been on patrol and would find this laughable because when they were discussing the SROs in schools one of Vice Mayor Vasquez’s concerns was that we were taking the officer off the streets. Mr. Cortez stated that with regard to allegations against Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz, Councilman Alindajao asked Councilman Solorio-Ruiz to do two things and Councilman Solorio-Ruiz did not respond to those requests. Mr. Cortez read the previous meeting requests from Councilman Alindajao: 1) if the allegations were true then do the right thing and resign; 2) however, if you can look the public in the eye and categorically say that the victim’s allegations are false then stand your ground. Mr. Cortez pointed out that Councilman Solorio-Ruiz has done neither thing. He encouraged the victim to come forward to the property authorities. He pointed out that when he was 7 years old a neighbor tried to sexually assault him and he didn’t tell a soul for 35 years and then he felt the weight lifted off his shoulders when he did. He suggested the victim speak truth to power and not let him have the power.
8) Yolanda Chacon Serna commented that she thinks it ludicrous that everybody is coming up with allegations. She pointed out that there is a state document stating there has been a wrong. She inquired where is the money that is supposed to go to public safety and services. She wants to work to protect the children.
9) Mars Reyes commented that they need to go back to live meetings so they can see everybody’s face. He stated there needs to be an investigation into the cover ups of what is going on within H.R.
Mayor Osorio inquired about the 15 minute limitation on one specific issue.
Council Member Alindajao responded that he is not sure if that is a hard and fast rule and it is his understanding that law favors comments without limitations.
City Attorney Richman commented that it has been on the agenda since before she joined, but she does find that the law does provide public comment to continue and not to limit it.
She further stated if council feels that it has gone on too long and it interferes with their ability to conduct business then the Mayor can intervene. She stated that 15 minutes is on the lower side of implementing maximum minutes.
10) Suzanne Villaruz stated a lot of innuendo, rumor, comments by councilmembers and public comments feed the gossip. She stated she went to the DADD meeting hosted by David Couch and one girl who spoke was obviously coached because she spoke about an event in which she was very worked up over it and she was rude with DADD at the time.
She commented that the decision was made by the Board and not Mike Gutierrez.
Suzanne further commented that City Council has a business meeting and it often turns into a public forum. She stated they need to maintain their business decorum. She stated that with the H.R. issue if a specific name is not mentioned there is no violation in law to say they are investigating a particular type of action.

Item No. 13 pulled by: Lupe Martinez
City Engineer Dowling provided the staff report.
Reason for being pulled: Lupe Martinez thought there were going to be 78 acres of almonds and the rest is alfalfa. He understands that there is not enough water for irrigation, so he inquired how much water is being given to them and how do they know and guarantee that the water is not going to go into almonds.
City Engineer Dowling responded that the city does not produce enough water population wise but when the city grows to 60,000 or 70,000 it will produce more and more which will subsequently produce more recycled water available for the farms. He pointed out that the city already has 900+ acres that it disposed water into mostly with alfalfa. The permit for the plant depends on the amount of acreage available and they are poised for growth in terms of recycled area available. In order to ensure the water does not get to the almonds the facilities out there are only constructed to irrigate the alfalfa and other facilities take the almonds. He pointed out that the State has a lot of regulations with regard to the distance the water can come to the almonds, and they follow those rules. He pointed out that this particular farmer is very well versed in these rules.
Lupe Martinez inquired if they are leasing from the city the acreage for $98,000 a year. City Engineer Dowling responded in the affirmative at $500 per acre.

Reason for being pulled: Lupe Martinez commented he is glad to hear that it is at 98%. He inquired if the amount of money is for labor and the meters have already been paid for to which City Engineer Dowling responded in the affirmative.
Lupe Martinez inquired if ARPA funding is available for this kind of work.
City Engineer Dowling responded it was one of the allowable types of projects.

Item No. 17 pulled by: Council Member Alindajao
Transit Manager Zamora provided the staff report.
Reason for being pulled: Councilmember Alindajao inquired if the MOU are concessions the City is making, and are they providing services and rides for Omni patients at the expense of the City or are they being reimbursed by Omni Health.
Transit Manager Zamora responded that they’ve had an agreement and they haven’t used it at all in the last two years, however they would be reimbursing the City for the services and that payment would come from Omni or the patient. She further added that it’s $3 round trip if it’s within the City and it’s $8 round trip if it’s in the County and not ADA.

18) Establishment of a City of Delano Anti-Gang and Anti-Violence Committee.
Staff report provided by Council Member Alindajao. Council Member Alindajao stated this is a culmination of a lot of activism by the community and the Council. He stated he hears the community comments that the answer is not just law enforcement, but also community engagement, involvement, education, and prevention. He envisions this committee will represent a culmination of those thoughts and ideas. He envisions the group to consist of two councilmembers and five appointment members from the community. Councilmember Alindajao referenced a KERO-23 article dated February 16, 2022 titled, “Kern County Polls Show Top Concerns for Residents as Mid Term Election Approaching.” He pointed out that the group Loud for Tomorrow sponsored a survey for Delano residents and their concerns. At the top of the concerns was the topic of crime.
Councilmember Alindajao stated that his vision for the committee is to be a bridge between the community and the Council and to be a think tank for ideas not just for law enforcement but should consider education, prevention, youth programs, etc. The committee can hash out the ideas so plans can be presented to the City Council.
Public comments opened.
Yolanda Vega stated her concern with this committee is that back in late 2020 Kuko Rodriguez from Hope and Heal started working with City Councilmember Bryan Osorio who invited him a lot of the community members to discuss the gang violence and she inquired why Councilmember Alindajao is trying to take over and reinvent the wheel when Judge Tafoya has already indicated that he wants to implement a project with Hope and Heal where money has already been set aside for Hope and Heal. She pointed out that all councilmembers were invited to those previous meetings that were ongoing for over a year and-a-half. She commented that she did not see Councilmember Alindajao at those meetings. She inquired why the D.A.’s office has not provided resources to the affected families.
Frank Wooldridge stated he is here at the request of Steve Kinsey as they Judge Tafoya welcome the efforts in what Mr. Rodriguez offered through Hope and Heal program. He quoted Steve Kinsey: “As you know the Delano Alliance is hoping to establish responsibility of managing a committee on gang and gun violence through the structure of the Alliance allowing for a more accessible forum for community input. The structure of the Alliance allows community input and for the community to participate easier in the comfortable Alliance setting. The Alliance could reach out for funding to support activities to encourage youth and their parents towards greater education and employment opportunities.” They would like the Delano Alliance group to oversee whatever committee will help reduce gang violence.
Lydia Rodriguez stated it is going to take more than what is being discussed here to change the situation in Delano. She stated with regard to the D.A. resources she and her family did receive funds through victims of violent crimes, counseling for her entire family, and she feels that she received the support that she needed. She stated that there are people who say you can go talk to the youth and get them involved and offer all these programs, but most people do not have the funds to participate in these groups so it is discouraging to a lot of parents and single parents. She stated they have to really come together as a community and get the parents involved and they need to help fund the activities for the youth that cannot afford it.
Suzanne Villaruz stated this topic has been around for 40 years. She gave a history of the Delano Alliance. She feels there needs to be parent education because the kids are socially geared to listen to each other. She stated that Council Member Alindajao’s idea of having more city input would benefit the community alliance. She would like everyone to stop pointing fingers and work together.
Yolanda Chacon Serna stated that she’s attended every Hope and Heal meeting. She stated Judge Tafoya has worked on an outline that they would like to disseminate to the stakeholders who are speaking about their concerns. She stated they need to come together and work together.
Claribel Gutierrez stated everybody has good ideas but she wants to know how they are going to move forward.
Lupe Martinez stated he is in agreement with everybody’s comments. He commented that the model used by Cesar Chavez was organizing through personal visits, doing house meetings, and then figuring out what the community wants. He stated this is what needs to be done with this issue. They need the parental support and in order to do that they need to educate them and sit down one to one with them. The committee alone cannot solve these issues.
Pastor Vivas responded to Yolanda Vega’s comments in regards to inquiries about the D.A.’s office and the resources that were provided and Lydia stated that the resources were provided by the D.A. He also commented that with regard to vigils he has held several vigils, but he is not sure if Yolanda attended any of them. He pointed out that at the last vigil on March 13, 2021 in front of the Delano Police Department, the District Attorney Cynthia Zimmer, along with 10 members of her staff on their day off, came to the vigil and had tables and literature for counseling services. Pastor Vivas stated that one individual is in constant contact with family members of those who have lost loved ones due to gun violence. He stated that he is in support of a committee regardless of who heads it. He stated that Hope and Heals last report had at least 15 inaccuracies about the City of Delano. Pastor Vivas stated that he stills needs Councilmember Solorio to advise where he stands with law enforcement and his silence indicates that he is not on the same page.
Mayor Osorio closed public comment.
Councilmember Alindajao stated that this is not a competition as to who can have the best committee. He stated that they will benefit from every idea and every person that cares about crime in the city. He also commented with regard to Mr. Rodriguez’s report specifically on page 10, under Summary and Conclusion: “To truly and impactfully address violence in the city we hope that the City” – not community organization, not anyone else, --- “the City will prioritize..” --- the first point is “A committee or accountability group that is dedicated to addressing violence and engages with the community, including those most impacted by violence.” The committee on the agenda is exactly what is suggested in the report. He added that the Council will have an opportunity to appoint the people with the best ideas and the most advocacy to contribute to the committee. He further explained that the committee will be open to the public and true collaboration on what is best for the city and he guaranteed that there will prevention and education.
Mayor Pro Tem Vasquez stated at this time she is not comfortable voting on a committee, although she believes a committee is needed. She would like to take more of a grassroots approach and do a couple of town halls, a couple in person and a couple in Zoom inviting schools and various organizations and individuals that want to be involved.
Council Member Morris stated she agrees with regard to working together and educating families. She still wants Community Alliance to keep working to see what they can do.
She stated that they may want to get more input from the community before selecting a committee.
Council Member Solorio-Ruiz stated he is glad that they are doing some of the recommendations in Mr. Rodriguez’s report. He thinks this is one of many strategies they can implement to prevent crime. He stated he is for more community input and wanted to see if they could change the title of the committee to Crime Prevention Committee, specifically emphasizing the prevention. He would also like to emphasize and focus on community engagement by building trust with parents and community engagement.
Council Member Solorio-Ruiz stated that he would like to have each council person appoint their own committee member and five experts. He suggested having Adventist Health as an expert, a high school counselor, the Police Chief, a faith-based group such as the Catholic organization, and elementary school counselor, and add Judge Tafoya. He stated there would be two councilmembers navigating the conversations and the experts to be on the committee. He stated that the goal of this committee is to have stakeholders and experts work side by side with community members to develop solutions to prevent crime.
Council Member Morris commented on Councilmember Solorio’s suggestions and would like to see the Police Chief and Judge Tafoya on the committee.
Council Member Alindajao stated he thinks Council Member Solorio’s ideas are excellent, but he envisioned it not being seated positions as appointees, although he wouldn’t have a problem with that. He stated he is concerned with having a large committee and scheduling conflicts. He stated a committee of seven would utilize those experts. He stated they have an opportunity right now to form this committee and get to work, regardless of the number of people on the committee or the name of the committee.
Mayor Osorio inquired about five committee members who are appointed, and they will be discussing potential recommendations for City Council and inquired how the recommendations happen within the five committee members.
Councilmember Alindajao responded that the chairman will have an agenda and one of the first meetings will be talking about education and having programs and outreaches in school where they can create a flyer in different languages teaching and showing parents how to recognize the signs of gang involvement. He further added that they can hold quarterly school assemblies inviting a movie star that is out there talking about gang violence and gang issue. He also explained that thereafter they can get into more complex issues that people will have ideas about and report back to City Council to ask about funding for some of the outreach that can be done.
Mayor Osorio inquired if there is disagreement about how they would filter out which ideas to prioritize.
Council Member Alindajao responded that if you have five great ideas and you have to vote on one it’s a great win-win situation.
Mayor Osorio stated he is concerned about how impacted community residents served on this board or are consulted as part of the process.
Council Member Alindajao responded that it will be up to each individual to make certain that all of the community is aware of the committee. He commented that he is looking at appointing Abraham Herrera who was a victim of a drive by shooting and he has experience with law enforcement as a long-term community member and understands the community. He commented that just because you are impacted should not be the controlling analysis of the appointee, and it is up to the Council to appoint people that can work with others.
Mayor Osorio inquired how the committee will integrate experts into the meetings and the overall process of recommending positive recommendations.
Council Member Alindajao stated he is not opposed to ten people on the committee, although he agrees it could make it more difficult to meet. He suggested calling in the experts as needed for each meeting’s agenda.
Mayor Osorio inquired how the correlation will happen.
Council Member Alindajao responded that it will just come down to communication. He stated that he doesn’t have to have a vote on an ad hoc committee to create a committee.
He could just send out an email as a Council Member and ask if anyone wants to join him in a committee against gang and crime. He pointed out that he is reaching out because he wants to do this as a team so they can move the committee forward like Mr.
Rodriguez suggested so they can address these issues. He feels that this is a more effective way to reach the goal because the degrees of separation are minimal.
Mayor Osorio agreed that a committee can send a message to the community that they are taking this issue seriously.
Council Member Alindajao inquired of Council Member Solorio-Ruiz how he sees adding experts to the board from a practical standpoint.
Council Member Solorio-Ruiz responded that with regard to the appointees the five people would have decision and voting rights and the experts would be there to be experts in their fields to provide information to the appointees but would have no voting rights. He explained that the committee will bring the information and proposals to the City Council and the Council would decide to entertain it or not.
Council Member Alindajao reminded the Council that this committee is going to work with the community at large and they don’t necessarily have to come back to the Council to do the things that they want to do and the committee would not need approval from the City Council to encourage the school district or work with the school district to have these quarterly assemblies on anti-gang issues. He did state that unless the committee is asking for funding, there are a lot of things the committee can do without having to get approval from the Council.
Council Member Solorio-Ruiz stated he envisions any approval of monies to fund a project coming through the City Council for approval, but if it’s to do a fundraiser the committee would not need approval from the City Council.
Mayor Osorio suggested considering Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz’s recommendations in making a motion.
City Attorney Thuyen stated his understanding is that this item was just for a discussion and a motion is not necessary. Staff would like direction on what the preferences are of the council.
Council Member Alindajao stated his recollection is that he called for a vote at this meeting on this item.
City Clerk Chavez responded that the title of the agenda is the “establishment” of the City of Delano anti-gang and anti-violence ad hoc committee.
Council Member Alindajao stated that he believes that would require a vote if they are establishing the committee.
City Clerk Chavez responded in the affirmative simply based on how it is titled.
Council Member Alindajao stated based on the title he will make a motion. He also inquired if City Attorney Thuyen would have a problem with voting.
City Attorney Thuyen responded that Council can direct staff to return back with a resolution or ordinance establishing a committee. He stated the item will have to be brought back to Council for a formal vote by resolution or by ordinance.
Council Member Morris inquired if they vote on this issue today to establish it and then make arrangements to make the appointment of committee members.
Council Member Alindajao responded in the affirmative. He pointed out that probably not every council person has an individual they would like to appoint and they would need time to interview people.
City Clerk Chavez advised that the recommendation in the staff report is that City Council discuss and provide direction on whether to create the ad hoc committee and then for the Council to actually vote. He further added that it stated that it is for Council to advise of the two councilmembers that will serve on the committee as well as the appointment process.
Mayor Pro Tem Vasquez stated that she still has concerns because there still are a lot of tweaks needed and it is not concrete. She stated she feels like the details like the time commitment is known. She also stated she wanted more townhalls to get more input from the community because she doesn’t want to create something without buy in from the community.
Council Member Alindajao responded that creating an ad hoc committee does not dismiss the ability to have townhall meetings. He stated it is incumbent upon each council member to get community buy in.
Mayor Osorio inquired if they do incorporate Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz’s recommendation it would be helpful to see it in this item and then the second part of this would be to bring forth a resolution or ordinance.
Council Member Solorio-Ruiz agreed that this needs to be solidified in verbiage and writing and then go from there.
Council Member Alindajao stated he intended to incorporate the basic structure of the ad hoc committee to include seven (7) members of which five (5) members would be appointed by the City Council members and seated with two (2) City Council members and to change the name of the committee from the Anti-Gang and Violence Committee to Crime Prevention Committee. He pointed out that he thinks they are in agreement with how the experts would be incorporated into the committee, where the experts don’t need to be part of the committee, but must be used as part of the committee’s analysis on any recommendations.
Council Member Solorio-Ruiz agreed with Councilmember Alindajao.
Motion to approve item 19 to bring it back as a resolution for a vote for a sevenmember committee consisting of five members appointed by each City Council Member and seated with two City Council Members and to change the name of the committee from the Anti-Gang and Violence Committee to Crime Prevention made by: Alindajao
Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz inquired if Vice-Mayor Vasquez could elaborate on the importance and reasoning for townhalls.
Vice-Mayor Vasquez responded she envisions it being putting out and all of the people that want to help and outreaching to the family members who have been impacted and finding out what didn’t work, what worked and getting input so it can help mold the committee and who should be sitting on the committee instead of just having appointees.
She stated that it seems like all these ideas have already been unsuccessfully attempted without community involvement and input. She pointed out that they have not had a townhall to discuss how to form and mold the committee. She feels that by not having the townhalls they are failing their community.
Council Member Solorio-Ruiz inquired who would be responsible for conducting the townhall. Councilmember Vasquez responded it could be Councilmember Alindajao and another councilperson and they would invite all the people who spoke at this meeting and said they want to be a part of it.
Council Member Solorio-Ruiz inquired if the townhall recommendations would come back to City Council.
Mayor Pro Tem Vasquez responded in the affirmative.
Council Member Solorio-Ruiz inquired how many townhalls she envisions occurring to which she responded two.
Council Member Solorio-Ruiz stated that he thinks there is urgency with this issue, but he wants more community input and not less. He stated that it would not hurt to wait a couple of weeks to get some in person and virtual townhalls to get the input. He stated he does not mind tabling this to do a couple townhalls and get more community input.
Council Member Alindajao addressed these concerns by stating that with the Police Liaison Board they do not get community input for those appointments. He stated this is community leadership and they are not going to get community input on every decision he has to make. He pointed that the people elected him to make judgement calls and leadership calls. He stated that he is not opposed to that process and if Council members Vasquez and Solorio want to lead that process that would be fine and they can each make their appointment. Council Member Alindajao further stated there is a certain economy and efficiency when making these kinds of appointments. He stated that he does not know how fruitful a townhall meeting would be to his appointment. He pointed out this is part of the red tape that goes into government (analysis paralysis). He referenced the Measure U and I committees. He continued to point out that the Council is paid to make these types of important decisions and the community trusts each Council person to pick the best person that you can to represent the community and fight effectively for crime prevention.
Council Member Morris stated that they should follow through with the ad hoc committee because it’s not going to be immediately established and in the meantime they can still follow through with the townhall meetings to get further input.
Mayor Osorio stated he agrees with this committee and believes a townhall can happen when there is a policy recommendation from the committee. He thinks it would be good for the public to see what they are establishing. He recommends that this discussion be continued but have set details on what the committee will entail. He would like follow up with the Hope and Heal and with the Delano Community Alliance to see if they see themselves integrating to the final committee or if this is what they envisioned overall.
He commented that he sees inconsistencies in what their involvement would look like. He agrees with doing this quickly and he would recommend continuing this discussion so he can get the missing details.
Council Member Solorio-Ruiz commented that the issue is not the appointment, but the vision of where they are going. He stated that if they are able to get input they should get more input and he doesn’t think it hurts to wait a couple of meetings to get the townhall input.
Mayor Osorio stated he is not against townhalls and he feels townhalls would be beneficial for the actual policy recommendations to address the crime prevention aspect.
Council Member Alindajao stated that the Mayor and Council Member Morris make great points that this is a work in progress. He pointed out that the first step is to establish the ad hoc committee to bring it back for a vote and in the interim they can work out the logistics and each councilmember can do whatever process they want to do.
Council Member Solorio-Ruiz stated he is okay with Mayor Osorio’s recommendation to continue this discussion so they can have set details on what the committee will entail. He stated he would like to have something in writing that he can analyze and then proceed.
Mayor Osorio commented that Council Member Alindajao was hinting that this could be a conditional approval and if in a month if they change their minds they can vote down the resolution.
City Attorney Thuyen stated there appears to be a few options: 1) do a motion to establish the Anti-Gang Anti-Violence Committee and provide direction to staff which would be done in a two-part motion – 1st to establish the committee and 2nd to create a consensus on the direction. He understands the items listed in the agenda report in terms of the community itself, the scope of the community activities, however, he is unclear as to the direction on how long Council would want these members to serve on the committee. He stated that Option 2 is to delay any vote on establishing the committee and at the next meeting come back to discuss the committee further.
Council Member Solorio-Ruiz stated he would like to see logistics on paper before they actually agree on the committee.
Council Member Alindajao stated he does have a motion on the floor and he does like City Attorney Thuyen’s suggestion but he is not clear what the direction to staff would be. He commented that they are way over thinking this item as it is an ad hoc committee to prevent crime. They know what they want to do and the details can be worked out.
Mayor Osorio stated he agrees with Council Member Alindajao’s comments and they are spending too much time on this. He suggested Council Member Alindajao include in his motion a representative from Hope and Heal and a representative from Delano Community Alliance.
Councilmember Alindajao stated that adding those two representatives is not going to complicate the issue. He amended his motion with said modifications.
Motion to establish the ad hoc committee with the change of name, calling it the Crime Prevention Committee, and instead of a seven (7) seat committee it will now become a nine (9) seat committee made up of five (5) appointees, 1 member of Community Alliance,1 member of Hope and Heal Fund, and two (2) members of the City Council to serve two (2) year terms made by: Alindajao 2nd by: Morris

COUNCIL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
Councilmember Alindajao: He thanked everyone for their hard work and discussion. He inquired as to the status of the Measure U and I committees. He’d like to know if they have to wait until December to convene this committee and bring this back for discussion at the next meeting.
He also commented that he would like to bring back the issue of eliminating the yard sale fee. He would like to know if the fee is really needed or necessary. He stated he does not want to get rid of the process because he thinks regulating that issue is important. Council Member Alindajao stated he would like to change the resolution on committee appointments as it should not be this complicated to form a committee. He appreciates community input but there are issues that require individual judgement and decision making and this makes government more efficient. He stated he would like to bring this item back for discussion and potential vote at the April meeting.
Councilmember Morris: She thanked everyone for their comments. She stated that when they appointed for Measures I and U committee, it was appointed by council members. She stated that they have four applicants, and they just need to fill one more position.

Councilmember Solorio-Ruiz: He thanked City Staff for coordinating the food distribution. He stated that with regard to the committee vote that he hopes that the efforts to stop crime don’t stop.

RE: Architectural Services – Delano Aquatic Center and Park – CO 05 Dear Roman,
Thank you for your consideration of this proposal for additional Design and Consultant services to be added to the scope of services for the referenced project. This proposal is based on expanding construction administration services to include both the Aquatic Center and Park. This assumes both projects will proceed relatively concurrent, but by separate general contractors.
Construction Administration Services include the following disciplines:
Architectural, Landscape Architecture, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and Aquatic Engineering (for the Aquatic Center only). The intended scope of services is to provide support services during the construction phase and ensure consistency with design intent. Efforts will be made as much as possible to ensure consistency between projects, help coordinate work between contractors, and combine services where possible. At this time we are proposing to offer the following additional scope of services to be added to the original contract as well as the subsequent CO 01 through CO 04 services. This Change Order will be added to the original scope and fee for Construction Phase services originally proposed for the Aquatic Center only. This scope and fee has been expanded to address the changes in the Aquatic Center design as well as the addition of the Park. The services to be provided under this proposal include:
CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION PHASE
Construction Administration services are based on an anticipated 12-month construction period, from Authorization to Proceed through Punchlist Inspection.
The following services will be provided:
1. Attend Pre-Construction conference with City representatives and the selected contractor(s). One meeting for each project.
2. Review and approve or take other appropriate action upon Contractor's submittals and shop drawings as required by contract documents.
Delano Aquatic Center and Park – CO 05
October 04, 2022
3. Interpret contract documents (including all subconsultant disciplines) for proper execution and progress of construction, including responding to contractor's requests for information and clarification, and issuing ASI’s (Architect’s Supplemental Instructions).
4. Make one scheduled site visit every other week during the course of construction (total of 24) to observe the project. Site visit shall include meeting with Contractor(s) and City representative to review progress of construction, review pending RFI and Change Order information, and observe the construction to verify work is proceeding in accordance with construction documents.
5. Provide site visits per discipline (by the respective engineers) as deemed necessary by the Architect for aquatics, civil, mechanical, landscape and electrical to review progress of construction and conformance with construction documents.
6. Make one additional site visit to perform Punchlist Inspection, and one additional visit to perform Final Inspection (per project). Punchlist Inspection will include a detailed listing of all items remaining to be completed by the Contractor. Final Inspection will certify that all work has been completed in accordance with construction documents.
7. Assist City in review of Contractor's initial and progress schedules and Schedule of Values.
8. Assist in reviewing contractor's progress payment requests and certifying the amounts due to the Contractor.
9. Process contractor's building As-Builts, warranty information and related information. Include final construction documents and as a part of reviewed close out package to the City.
10. Inspect the project as part of Post Construction Evaluation prior to completion of contractor warranty period, typically 10-12 months after completion.
I propose to provide the stated basic services for an additional fixed fee of Forty One Thousand Two Hundred Dollars ($41,200.00) to be added to the original Construction Administration fee of One Hundred Thirty Five Thousand Dollars Delano Aquatic Center and Park – CO 05
October 04, 2022
($135,000.00). These services will be billed in addition to the originally approved contract amount and subsequent approved Change Orders. Invoices will be submitted monthly for the percentage of work completed during the month on any particular phase.
Original Construction Administration Fee $135,000.00
CO 05 - Additional Construction Administration Fee $ 41,200.00 TOTAL CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION FEE $176,200.00
All exclusions are consistent with the original contract. Any additional reimbursable expenses for delivery, printing and reproduction costs will be billed as a reimbursable expense per the original contract.
I appreciate the opportunity to present this proposal and we are excited about the opportunity to continue to work with you on this project. If you have any questions regarding this proposal, please do not hesitate to contact me at (619) 698-9177.

STAFF REPORT
November 17, 2022
Agenda Item: 15
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Maribel Reyna, City Manager
By: Tyson Davis, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Second and final reading of an Ordinance amending Subsection
9.20.010 of Chapter 9.20 of the Delano Municipal Code regarding the Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages on the North Kern Cemetery District Property.
Recommendation
The City Council to consider the Introduction to amend subsection 9.20.010 of Chapter
9.20 of the Delano Municipal Code Regarding Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages and to bring the Ordinance back for adoption at the next regular meeting.
Discussion
On February 5, 2021, a group of individuals were at the North Kern Cemetery District Property consuming alcoholic beverages, when an argument between them began.
During the argument one individual used a gun to shoot the other individual which resulted in a murder.
On July 6, 2022, approximately 15 community members requested to meet with Mayor Osorio and Police Chief Davis, to voice concerns about persons consuming alcoholic beverages within the North Kern Cemetery District property.
On August 18, 2022, the North Kern Cemetery District Manager, sent a letter to the City, formally requesting Delano Municipal Code 9.20.010 be amended to include the cemetery property.
In researching this issue, these concerns have been reported to previous police administrations dating back to 2017. During previous complaints there seem to have been confusion over the jurisdiction of the North Kern Cemetery District. The North Kern Cemetery District property is located within the jurisdiction of the City of Delano.
The proposed Ordinance, as shown below with italics for additions and strike though for deletions, would amend Subsection 9.20.010 to read as follows:
9.20.010 - Sale and consumption of alcohol prohibited.
The sale, serving or consumption of alcoholic beverages is prohibited:
A. In or upon any street, sidewalk, alley or public parking lot unless authorized, by permit, by the city council;
B. In all parks within the city, except memorial park unless authorized, by permit, by the city council;
C. Upon the private property of another without the permission of the person in legal possession of the private property.
D. Upon the property of the North Kern Cemetery District.

CHAPTER 9.20 OF THE DELANO MUNICIPAL CODE
REGARDING THE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOLIC

PROPERTY
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELANO, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Findings.
A. The City Council and City staff have been approached by residents and representatives of the North Kern Cemetery District to have Delano police officers enforce Delano Municipal Code Section 9.20.010 related to the prohibition on the sale, serving or consumption of alcoholic beverages on District property.
B. The City Council finds and determines that the enforcement of Delano Municipal Code Section 9.20.010 on District property is in the best interests of the public health, safety and welfare of the Community of Delano.
SECTION 2. Amendment of Subsection 9.20.010. Subsection 9.20.010: Sale and consumption of alcohol prohibited is amended to add subsection D to read as follows:
9.20.010 - Sale and consumption of alcohol prohibited.
The sale, serving or consumption of alcoholic beverages is prohibited:
A. In or upon any street, sidewalk, alley or public parking lot unless authorized, by permit, by the city council;

C. Upon the private property of another without the permission of the person in legal possession of the private property.
D. Upon the property of the North Kern Cemetery District.

The City Council exercises its independent judgment and finds that this ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the State CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, section 15061(b)(3) because the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment.
SECTION 4. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision will not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council declares that it would have passed this ordinance and each and every section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase not declared invalid or unconstitutional without regard to whether any portion of the ordinance would be subsequently declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 5. Effective Date. This ordinance shall be in full force and effective 30 days after its adoption.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Maribel Reyna, City Manager
By: Noemi A. Zamudio, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: Adopt resolution approving the new class specification for School Resource Officer
Recommendation
Staff recommends City Council adopt the new Job Description for School Resource Officer (SRO).
Discussion
City council approved contracts with both the Delano Joint Union High School District and the Delano Union School District to provide School Resource Officers during school hours and school events.
The Delano Police Department is currently facing vacancies of both officers and dispatchers making the ability to meet the commitment of providing School Resource Officer to our local schools very difficult.
In order to meet the City’s obligations without impacting further the staffing levels at the Police Department, staff hired two temporary School Resource Officers. Pursuant to our City Rules and Regulations, temporary staff can only work for up to six months. The school term is approximately ten months.
Staff is recommending to adopt the proposed new SRO job description and approve the hiring of at-will SROs. At-will SROs will not be part of the classified service and will accrue no property rights. SROs would only be utilized while schools are in session.
Unlike, temporary staff, an at-will employee does not have the constraints on employment period. The proposed new job description will clearly define the role of SROs and keep them separate from our full time police officers.
Having the ability to hire either Cal-PERS Annuitants, Temporary, or At-Will staff will broaden the candidate pool and facilitate the City’s ability to meet its obligation to the school districts.
The new job description was discussed with DPOA.
Budget Impact
Cost covered by the schools pursuant to the approved contracts.

Rachel Richman, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Consideration of Adopting a Resolution to Permit a Hybrid Attendance Option for City Councilmembers and other City Legislative Body Meetings Pursuant to AB-361 for Next 30 days
Recommendation
Staff recommends the Delano City Council consider and vote whether to adopt the attached Resolution determining the option for attendance via hybrid should continue as provided for under AB 361 due to imminent safety risks to certain segments of the Delano community of meeting in person due to COVID-19 and its variants.
Discussion
AB 361 was signed by Governor Newsom in September of 2021. It amends the Brown Act to allow local legislative bodies to continue having meetings using teleconferencing and virtual meeting technology as long as there is a gubernatorial “proclaimed state of emergency,” and either (1) state or local officials imposing or recommending measures that promote social distancing or (2) the legislative body finding that meeting in person would present an imminent safety risk to attendees.
The key differences between existing Executive Order N-08-21, which expired September 30, 2021, and AB 361 is that AB 361 imposes particular requirements with respect to public comment; however, the City of Delano’s practices with respect to live public comment via Zoom already satisfy all of the new requirements. Additionally, the City must make findings and adopt a resolution by majority vote that the state of emergency still exists and continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person every 30 days.

RESOLUTION NO. 2022-
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELANO,
CALIFORNIA AUTHORIZING IMPLEMENTATION OF HYBRID PUBLIC
MEETINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, CITY COMMISSIONS AND CITY COMMITTEES PURSUANT TO ASSEMBLY BILL 361
WHEREAS, the City of Delano (“City”) is committed to preserving and nurturing public access and participation in meetings of the City Council; and
WHEREAS, all meetings of the City of Delano’s legislative bodies are open and public, as required by the Ralph M. Brown Act (Cal. Gov. Code §§ 54950 – 54963), so that any member of the public may attend, participate, and watch the City’s legislative bodies conduct their business; and
WHEREAS, on September 16, 2021, the Governor of California signed into law Assembly Bill 361 amending Government Code § 54953 and providing alternative teleconferencing requirements to conduct public meetings as a result of a proclaimed state of emergency; and WHEREAS, COVID-19 continues to threaten the health and lives of Delano residents and state and local health officials continue to recommend or require precautions be taken including, but not limited to, masking, limiting prolonged interior exposure to other individuals, limiting the size of gatherings indoors, and, for those with compromised health conditions or those without vaccines, limiting attendance at functions indoors; and WHEREAS, state and local officials continue to recommend social distancing to protect the community’s health against the spread of COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, the Omicron variant and other variants continue to emerge and are highly transmissible in indoor settings and COVID-19 cases in Kern County are rising; and WHEREAS, hospitalizations are again increasing throughout Kern County; and WHEREAS, the City Council, its Commissions and Committees have met periodically by video conference since the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic and have found it to be an effective method of receiving public input, holding deliberations, and conducting the general business of the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to allow hybrid meetings in the event a member of the City’s legislative bodies has a health concern supporting physical absence from the public meeting; and
WHEREAS, the hybrid meeting model allows each individual member of the City’s legislative bodies to assess his or her own risk, and the risk he or she may pose to others, prior to attending a meeting; and
WHEREAS, the hybrid meeting model also provides those that wish to attend meetings in person the ability to do so; and
WHEREAS, the City Council considered the imminent risk to the health and safety of attendees at in person meetings and the distancing measures required and recommended by federal, state and local health officials; and
WHEREAS, after such consideration, the City Council finds that permitting meetings in hybrid format is necessary due to the ongoing threat of COVID-19; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code § 54953(e)(3), a legislative body that holds a meeting pursuant to AB 361 must reconsider the circumstances of the state of emergency and make findings every 30 days.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Delano that:
SECTION 1. The above recitals are correct and are material to this Resolution and are incorporated into this Resolution as findings of the City Council.
SECTION 2. The City continues to follow safety measures in response to COVID-19 as ordered or recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, California Department of Public Health, and/or County of Kern, as applicable. Based upon that guidance, in person attendance indoors at public meetings continues to present an imminent health risk for certain segments of the City’s population, necessitating teleconferencing when needed to allow for meaningful participation options for all City constituents and its elected and appointed officials.
The state of emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to directly impact the ability to meet safely in person. The California Department of Public Health strongly recommends that everyone wear face coverings in indoor public settings and take other social distancing measures to prevent COVID-19 transmission.
SECTION 3. Holding hybrid meetings will reduce the possibility of COVID-19 transmission during those meetings by allowing those who are potentially suffering COVID-19 symptoms to participate in meetings without physically attending. Based upon these facts and the guidance provided by the aforementioned entities, in person attendance indoors at public meetings continues to present an imminent risk to the health and safety of attendees and those attendees have close contact with after attending a meeting in person. The City Council desires to ensure that all persons attending public meetings may do so in a manner that protects the health and safety of the attendees, their families and other close contacts. Hybrid meetings will provide increased meaningful participation options for both members of the City’s legislative bodies and members of the public in a manner that protects the health and safety of the attendees, their families and other close contacts.
SECTION 4. The City Council hereby declares that, pursuant to the findings in Sections 1 through 3, the City Council, its Commissions and Committees are authorized to conduct hybrid public meetings pursuant to AB 361 and Government Code § 54953, in the event a member of the City Council, City Commission or Committee has a legitimate health reason supporting physical absence from the public meeting. These legislative bodies of the City are not subject to the Brown Act provisions related to remote participation; specifically that notice of the meeting be posted at, and that the public be allowed to attend and participate from, the remote location from which the member of the body is participating. (Government Code § 54953(b)(3)). Any public comment period during any such meeting shall be taken in the same form and fashion from in person and remote attendees. If at any time during such meeting the ability to broadcast the meeting and accept public comments from remote attendees through videoconference/teleconference is disrupted, the body holding the meeting shall recess until the disruption is resolved or continue the meeting to a later date when videoconference/teleconference participation can be restored.
SECTION 5. The City’s legislative bodies are hereby authorized to conduct meetings in a format whereby members of the legislative body and members of the public may elect to be present in person, utilizing appropriate safety procedures, or participate by teleconferencing technology.
Such meetings of the legislative bodies that occur using teleconferencing technology will provide an opportunity for any and all members of the public who wish to address legislative bodies to do so, and will otherwise occur in a manner that protects the statutory and constitutional rights of members of the public attending the meeting via teleconferencing. The City’s legislative bodies have safety measures and technology in place to allow in-person and teleconferenced appearances at meetings, which reduces the risks to health and safety because the number of attendees is reduced.
SECTION 6. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption and shall be effective until the earlier of (i) 30 days from the date of adoption of this Resolution, or (ii) such time the City Council adopts a subsequent resolution in accordance with Government Code section 54953(e)(3) to extend the time during which the legislative bodies of the City of Delano may continue to teleconference without compliance with paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of section 54953 for another 30 day period.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at the special meeting the City Council of the City of Delano, this 7th day of November 2022.

2022 LONG-RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
Final Report
1 Section 1 | Executive Summary
The purpose of this Executive Summary is to give necessary context for the City of Delano’s Long-Range Transit Plan as well as provide an overview of the contents of the Plan.
California Transit Operators and the COVID-19 Pandemic
Public transit throughout California has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which began in March 2020. While reactions varied throughout the country, California’s governor responded by instituting a stay-at-home order, limiting travel to essential personnel and essential trips (such as grocery shopping).
Measures designed to restrict transmission of the coronavirus included social distancing, use of hand sanitizer, and face masking. For transit operators, these measures resulted in many adjustments to their daily operations. Most transit providers responded by limiting vehicle capacity, procuring personal protective equipment (PPE) for employees, and requiring passengers to wear masks while onboard. Many operators installed protective shields around the driver, implemented rear-door boarding, conducted frequent sanitizing of vehicle interiors, and installed hand sanitizer dispensers onboard. Some operators reduced service frequency and /or service span. Others chose to shift service delivery modes, typically due to a lack of drivers, as some drivers were infected with the virus, opted to stay home due to being high-risk, or simply no longer were willing to risk exposure.
More than two years after the start of the pandemic, most of the restrictions have been lifted, vaccines are readily available, and many organizations have resumed in-person activities. However, many public transit operators are far from back to “normal.” The pandemic continues to impact transit providers in four key areas: operations, workforce, funding, and ridership. • Operations. Operationally, transit operators have experienced increased costs due to inflation (including fuel) as well as delays in vehicle deliveries as well as critical parts for fleet maintenance.
Operators using gasoline and diesel fuel have experienced large fluctuations in fuel prices since the onset of the pandemic. Vehicle maintenance has been impacted when parts are delayed due to supply chain issues, and new vehicle orders have been delayed as well chiefly for the same reasons.
• Workforce. Workforce issues have resulted in higher operating costs as well as personnel shortages. Increases in minimum wage as well as the salary required to attract qualified candidates has resulted in higher operating costs. However, with some drivers departing the industry (due to layoffs, furloughs, health issues, or a desire to pursue different employment), many transit operators have experienced vacancies, and it is often been quite difficult to recruit and retain drivers.
The nation-wide driver shortage has required transit operators to offer higher wages than ever before, as many are now competing with many industries seeking to fill a broad range of positions.
Another workforce issue which impacted transit operators during the pandemic was delays in DMV testing for new driver recruits.

2 • Funding. State and local transportation funding sources are typically highly dependent on sales tax revenues. While these may not have been impacted as much as initially anticipated, some revenue sources have decreased. Fare revenues have also decreased due to ridership loss, although some transit providers opted to use alternative funds (such as LCTOP) to provide free rides in an effort to both relieve riders of the cost of public transit use as well as attract new riders. • Ridership. The State of California’s stay-at-home order implemented at the beginning of the pandemic decimated transit ridership throughout California. While the stay-at-home order has since been lifted, transit ridership has yet to return to pre-pandemic levels in most California communities. This can be attributable to a variety of factors. First, some riders have transitioned to working from home all or part of the week, thereby reducing the number of trips taken via transit. Second, some riders stopped riding during the pandemic for a variety of reasons, including job loss, remote school learning, or simply not feeling safe onboard a transit bus. Since then, many former riders have discovered alternatives to public transit, such as driving alone, ridesharing, or walking or riding a bike. Some riders, including those who are elderly or immunocompromised, may simply not be going out into the community as much, and therefore no longer ride (or ride less often). Each of these factors has contributed to lower ridership that (so far) has been slow to return.
Recent state and federal legislation have provided some relief for public transit operators. On the federal side, passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA), and, most recently, the American Rescue Plan have provided additional funds for public entities (including transit operators) throughout the pandemic. The California legislature enacted Assembly Bills 90 and 149 which offered relief from some Transportation Development Act (TDA) compliance requirements (including the farebox recovery ratio requirement) and changed how some funding allocations (such as State Transit Assistance) would be calculated so as to mitigate the impact of ridership loss. While these measures have been helpful, they are expected to remain temporary in nature. The final year for TDA compliance waivers is FY 2022/23, and federal funding is available until it is expended. Most transit operators have already expanded their respective allocation of federal relief funding, or will do so within the next fiscal year.
City of Delano Transit Operations
The City of Delano has operated a transit program for 34 years, and has a long-standing two-tier service (fixed-route and ADA paratransit) which operates throughout the city. At present, the transit program includes four weekday fixed routes (each operating within a different quadrant of the city, and coming together at the Delano Transit Center), one Saturday route (which covers much of the city), and a Dial-ARide service providing ADA paratransit service as well as general public service for persons outside the fixed-route service area.
On July 9, 2022, the City introduced DART-N-GO, an on-demand micro-transit service that will co-mingle ADA and general public trips, on Saturdays. Initially provided using a single vehicle, the service is similar to Lyft or Uber in that riders can request trips when travel is needed, and do not have to reserve a trip in advance or meet eligibility requirements. Unlike Lyft and Uber, the service utilizes both City-owned vehicles as well as drivers.
moore-associates.net
CITY OF DELANO
2022 LONG-RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
Final Report
3 Ultimately the City has indicated a desire to transition to a fully on-demand model, eliminating all fixedroute service. The next step in this progression is the elimination of the Saturday Loop after September 24, 2022, which would leave DART-N-GO as the only Saturday service effective October 1, 2022.
In addition to the change in service delivery, the City is also looking at two significant initiatives within the next few years. The first is the need to chart a course toward the state-mandated transition to a zeroemission fleet. The California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) legislation mandates the purchase of zero-emission vehicles beginning in 2026. Therefore, the City must develop a Zero-Emission Vehicle Rollout Plan by June 30, 2023, in order to remain compliant with ICT. Such a plan is also necessary for the City to qualify for certain vehicle-related federal capital grants.
The second initiative is the development of a new transit operations and maintenance facility. Transit currently operates out of the City’s Corporation Yard (maintenance and storage) and the Delano Transit Center (operations). The current facilities are beyond capacity and do not offer the space needed to transition to a zero-emission fleet. The City has identified the site of the former Delano Modified Community Correctional Facility (MCCF) as the optimal location of a new maintenance and operations facility, and is in the process of securing funding for development of the site.
Purpose of the Plan
The cornerstone purpose of a long-range transit plan (LRTP) is to provide a vision to guide the development of the City’s transit program across the next 10 years. Many LRTPs offer a 20-year horizon.
However, in the current COVID environment, it is more appropriate to discuss only the next 10 years.
A long-range transit plan is different from a short-range transit plan (SRTP) in its scope and planning horizon. An SRTP, which typically has a five-year planning horizon, looks at the immediate future and recommendations are more specific, focusing on the “how” as well as the “what.” LRTPs are more visionary, providing direction (the “what”) across a longer period without as much of the “how.” This is intentional, as the horizon of the LRTP does not allow for the same level of funding detail as the SRTP. In addition, the LRTP includes recommendations that may require advance planning and funding. Further, a LRTP can be used to support grant and funding applications as well as justify more focused planning efforts.
An LRTP looks at the big picture. It can identify potential anticipated funding shortfalls, provide guidance on where and when to utilize funding reserves, document implementation deadlines for required programs or legislation, and offer direction toward a vision for local transit. It helps staff and elected officials in decision-making and establishing funding priorities. Finally, the LRTP serves as a “blueprint” which City staff can utilize in navigating the next 10 years.
Structure of the Plan
The 2022 Delano Long-Range Transit Plan is divided into five sections. Section 2, Existing Conditions, provides an overview of the current transit program as well as community demographics, a summary of regional connectivity, a profile of current transit users, a review of prior planning efforts, and an evaluation of recent transit system performance. This section focuses on the “now” to provide important insight into current conditions within Delano, both specific to transit as well as the community itself. moore-associates.net

4 Section 3 provides an overview of the implementation status of the 15 recommendations included in the prior LRTP, which was completed in 2017 and amended in 2021. Section 4 summarized public engagement activities undertaken in connection with the LRTP update, including a fixed-route rider survey, Dial-A-Ride rider survey, and community stakeholder survey.
Section 5 introduces recommendations specific to the current LRTP update. It includes seven recommendations such as transition to an on-demand service model, transition to a zero-emission fleet, implementation of marketing activities, development of the new maintenance and operations facility, and working with other Kern County public transit operators to consider introduction of a regional fare media.
Section 6 looks at financial and capital components of the plan, including a fleet replacement plan. It also provides an overview of funding sources that can potentially be used to fund operations, capital projects, and the purchase of rolling stock.
Finally, the appendices provide supplemental information such as survey instruments. moore-associates.net

2022 LONG-RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
Final Report
5 Section 2 | Existing conditions
Delano, the second most populous city in Kern County, is located approximately 30 miles north/northwest of Bakersfield and just south of the border with Tulare County. In 2010, it was reclassified as an urbanized area due to the inclusion of the incarcerated population at two state prisons. Delano’s economy is highly reflective of the area’s agriculture industry, with other top industries including healthcare and education.
2.1 Mission, Vision, Goals, and Objective
The City’s mission and goals for the Transit department, as identified in the FY 2021/22 and FY 2022/23 approved budget are as follows.
Mission statement:
To be the premier provider of fast, environmentally friendly and convenient public transit services to the residents and visitors of the City of Delano and surrounding unincorporated county areas that are clean, affordable, reliable, efficient, and safe, which would improve the quality of life and reduce congestion on Delano roadways.
Department goals:
1. To develop a comprehensive marketing, outreach, advertising and public information program which would attribute to a goal of at least increasing ridership by 5% each fiscal year. This program will include a new Rider’s Guide with system map, website upgrades, the development of a brand, improving customer service, and provide an avenue for outreach to DART passengers efficiently.
2. To reduce costs for achieving a 10% farebox recovery ratio in accordance with the Transportation Development Act (TDA) and work towards a 20 percent farebox recovery ratio due to Delano’s reclassification as an urbanized area.
3. To review and modify the current transit routes, fares, schedules, service policies and procedures to ensure that the transit system is operating efficiently and in the most cost-effective way possible.
4. Continue to pursue additional local, state, and Federal funding to support the transit system and reduce the need for General Fund support.
2.2 Community Demographics
The city of Delano had a population of 52,821 per the 2020 American Community Survey five-year estimate. In 2010, Delano had an institutionalized population of 10,897, of which 98 percent were housed in correctional facilities (primarily state prisons). With the closure of the Delano Modified Community Correctional Facility (MCCF) in 2020, that population has declined to approximately 7,100 (most of which is housed at the North Kern State Prison and Kern Valley State Prison).
Delano’s youth (under age 18) comprises 25.6 percent of the total populations, which is slightly lower than Kern County (28.9 percent) yet higher than California as a whole (22.8 percent). Seniors (age 65 and older) represent 8.6 percent of Delano’s population, which is lower than both Kern County (11 percent) and California (14.3 percent). (See Exhibits 2.2.2 and 2.2.3.) DART defines seniors as those over age 60 moore-associates.net
CITY OF DELANO
2022 LONG-RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
Final Report
6 for purposes of reduced-fare eligibility. Seniors (age 60 and older) represent 13 percent of Delano’s population, which is lower than both Kern County (15.9 percent) and California (20.1 percent).
With respect to race, 58.1 percent of Delano residents are racially White1. Just over 13 percent indicate being Asian, while 11 percent each are “some other race” or “two or more races.” Only 4.2 percent of residents are Black/African American. With respect to ethnicity, 76.9 percent of Delano residents identify as Hispanic or Latino of any race. This is significantly higher than both Kern County (53.9 percent) and the state of California (39.1 percent). “Minority” residents, defined as White alone and not Hispanic/Latino, comprise 94.7 percent of Delano’s population. This is also significantly higher than Kern County (66.8 percent) and California (63.5 percent). (See Exhibit 2.2.4.) The median annual household income in Delano is $47,042. This is 14 percent lower than Kern County and 40 percent lower than the statewide median. Nearly 19 percent of Delano residents live below the poverty level, a lower percentage than Kern County but higher than the state as a whole. (See Exhibit
2.2.5.)
Six percent of the civilian noninstitutionalized population of Delano is considered to have a disability. (See Exhibit 2.2.6.) This is less than both Kern County (7.9 percent) and the state as a whole (10.7 percent).
The greatest populations of persons with disabilities are those with an ambulatory or independent living challenges.
There are 11,444 occupied housing units in Delano, of which 17.8 percent are multi-family units. Five percent of households have no vehicle available, while nearly 28 percent have only a single vehicle. (See Exhibit 2.2.7.) The average household size is 3.87 individuals. This is comparable to Kern County, which has 17.3 percent multi-family units, 6.4 percent of households with no vehicles, and 29.6 percent of households with a single vehicle. While vehicle availability is comparable to California at-large, while the state has a much higher rate of multi-family housing (31 percent of occupied housing units).
Nearly 27 percent of households in Delano are considered limited English-speaking households. This is significantly higher than Kern County (9.2 percent) and California (8.7 percent).
Like Kern County and California, the majority of Delano workers drive alone to work. Just over 19 percent of Delano residents carpool with someone else, while only 0.1 percent use public transportation.
The unemployment rate in Delano in 2020 (11.9 percent) was higher than Kern County (9.1 percent) and California (6.2 percent). However, the most recent unemployment rates available (June 20222) were 23.7 percent for Delano, 6.8 percent for Kern County, and 4.0 percent for California. (It is unclear whether the figure for Delano includes the incarcerated population as “unemployed.”) 1 The census defines the White race as persons “having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.” As a result, there are many individuals classified as White in the census that would otherwise be considered minorities/people of color.

7 The overall population of Delano has remained largely static over the past ten years, despite continuing forecasts for growth. The rate of growth anticipated in the City’s General Plan Update (2005) has slowed, and the 2020 population is about 15 percent lower than the anticipated 2020 population in that document. The percentage of youth residents has been steadily decreasing, while the senior population has been steadily increasing.

2.3 Description of Transit Service
The City of Delano operates a public transit program marketed as Delano Area Rapid Transit (DART). DART provides service within city limits through four fixed routes and a demand-response (Dial-A-Ride) service that also serves unincorporated areas of Kern County immediately adjacent to Delano. Prior to July 9, 2022, the City also operated a Saturday loop. Service is currently provided Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and on Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Beginning July 9, 2022, the City began providing on-demand micro-transit service (DART-N-GO) on Saturday as a pilot program as a supplement to the existing fixed-route and ADA paratransit service. The service combines on-demand micro-transit and paratransit services using a single vehicle. Using the Spare technology platform, the micro-transit service eliminates the need for advance reservations. The City plans to transition all Saturday service to DART-N-GO beginning October 1, 2022. moore-associates.net

CITY OF DELANO
2022 LONG-RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
Final Report
11 2.4 Regional Connectivity
DART currently offers connections with two regional transit operators: Kern Transit and Tulare County Regional Transit Authority (TCRTA).
• Kern Transit Route 110 (Delano – Bakersfield) (five roundtrips each weekday, two roundtrips each weekend day)
• TCRTA Route 20 (South County) (10 roundtrips each weekday, four roundtrips each weekend day) Kern Transit offers connectivity to Bakersfield and Santa Clarita, from which riders can access the Los Angeles Metro area. TCRTA provides access to Tulare and Visalia, from which riders can continue onward to Fresno and Sequoia National Park.
Delano is also served by the privately operated Eagle Mountain Casino bus (Route 3), although service was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
2.5 Transit User Profile
Transit riders in Delano tend to be ride-dependent, with riders using public transit primarily for local shopping and access to medical/healthcare travel. Many of the current riders have few travel options other than DART or Dial-A-Ride. Profiles of “typical” fixed-route and Dial-A-Ride users are provided below.
Fixed-route riders
Half of surveyed riders indicated using DART for shopping (50 percent), followed by medical/healthcare and recreation/social (14 percent each). Nearly 40 percent have used DART for five years or longer, with only 10 percent starting riding in the six months prior to survey contact. The majority of riders (75 percent) ride DART at least three days per week, with 21 percent indicating riding every day.
The majority of DART riders have few other mobility options, with 66 percent indicating they would walk or bike to their destination if DART had not been available for the surveyed trip. Only one percent said they would drive alone. Nearly 90 percent of respondents indicated they did not have access to a personal vehicle. More than 77 percent of riders identify as Hispanic or Latino, while 50 percent speak Spanish at home.
Dial-A-Ride riders
Nearly 70 percent of surveyed riders indicated using Dial-A-Ride for medical/healthcare. The majority of riders (73 percent) ride Dial-A-Ride twice a week or less. Eighty-three percent make their reservation one to two days in advance. Approximately 26 percent of respondents also use the DART fixed-route service, and 26 percent also use Kern Transit.
2.6 Prior Planning Efforts
Similar to the prior LRTP, the current effort builds upon prior planning activities, both specific to transit and applicable to the city as a whole. Some plans were developed by the City, while others were coordinated by the Kern Council of Governments (Kern COG). moore-associates.net

12 Title VI Site Equity Analysis (2022). Prepared concurrently with this LRTP update, the Title VI Site Equity Analysis reviewed the selection of the Delano MCCF as the potential site of a new transit operations and maintenance facility, with respect to its impact on low-income and minority residents. The analysis found there was no disparate impact on or disproportionate burden borne by either of these population groups.
Delano Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plan (2022). The 2022 TAM Plan is an update of the original 2018 TAM Plan, required by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). It includes a fleet inventory as well as a fleet replacement program.
Transit Maintenance Facility White Paper (2021). The Transit Maintenance Facility White Paper was prepared on behalf of the City prior to the amendment to the LRTP that added the recommendation to transition the former Delano MCCF to a transit administration and maintenance facility. The White Paper provided an initial analysis of the facility conversion.
Kern County Electric Vehicle Charging Station Blueprint (2019). Kern COG and the Center for Sustainable Energy received an Electric Vehicle Ready Communities Challenge grant to develop an EV Charging Station Blueprint. The Blueprint sought to provide basic information about electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, quantified existing conditions, and identified sites throughout Kern County (including in Delano) for electric charging infrastructure.
Kern County Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan Update (2019). The Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan prepared by Kern COG is a county-wide inventory of transportation services, with a focus on mobility rather than individual transit operators. Inclusion of recommendation in the Plan is an important step in many funding processes. The Plan also provided a summary of alternative fuel options, transportation network companies (TNCs), and electric-fleet opportunities.
Delano Transit Long-Range System Plan (2017). The prior LRTP documented existing conditions, transit system performance, and public outreach. It offered a series of recommendations (detailed in Section 3) as well as a financial plan. This was the first transit-specific plan for the City of Delano to be completed since the Transportation Development Plan in 2012, just after the City was reclassified as an urban operator.
City of Delano General Plan: Circulation Element (2005). The City’s General Plan is a long-term comprehensive framework guiding physical, social, and economic development within Delano. The Circulation Element reviews plans and issues related to circulation within the city, including identification of traffic problems as well as discussion of alternative transportation modes such as transit, aviation, rail, bicycle, pedestrian, etc. Given the age of the document, the transit system described in the Circulation Element is quite different than the current system. moore-associates.net

14 Exhibit 2.7.3 Farebox recovery ratio
Exhibit 2.7.4 Cost per vehicle service hour
Fixed-route ridership began declining in FY 2018/19, even before the pandemic. Significant losses were observed in FY 2019/20 and FY 2020/21, due in large part to the pandemic. However, fixed-route ridership began rebounding in FY 2021/22, surpassing FY 2019/20 and ending at approximately 80 percent of FY 2018/19.
Dial-A-Ride ridership increased between FY 2017/18 and FY 2018/19, then declined due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dial-A-Ride ridership began rebounding in FY 2021/22, ending at approximately 46 percent of FY 2018/19. It is not unusual for Dial-A-Ride ridership to recover more slowly than fixed-route ridership, given Dial-A-Ride riders may remain hesitant about resuming public transit travel.

Final Report
17 Section 3 | Status of Prior LRTP Recommendations
The 2017 Long Range Transit Plan included 15 recommendations. This section reviews the implementation status of each recommendation, and determines whether any unimplemented recommendations warrant inclusion within the current LRTP.
1. Maintain current route structure; adjust service routes gradually to improve productivity.
The prior LRTP recommended the City maintain its current frequencies and route structure, except for minor adjustments for new street connections, street conditions, and new employers. It noted dramatic changes to routes or further reductions to frequency would not be well received by riders. All routes underwent such an adjustment effective February 18, 2017.
Status: Implemented.
2. Make design improvements along Cecil Avenue and Garces Highway to enable relocation of stops to these arterials.
The prior LRTP recommended restriping Cecil Avenue to created safe stopping locations out of the flow of traffic, which could be combined with other traffic calming measures. It also recommended adding curbs and sidewalks along Garces Highway in locations where stops are added. It noted many of the block faces on Garces Highway already had ADA ramps at the corners, so only a sidewalk from the corner to the stop would be required.
While there has been no action taken on Cecil Avenue, Garces Highway is part of the current Safe Routes to Schools effort. There are no current stops on Garces Highway, but the City may look to identify locations for safe on-demand stops.
Status: Implementation in progress.
3. Maintain Saturday service as a weekend loop.
The prior LRTP found Saturday service only attracted 20 percent of the ridership of weekday service. It recommended a Saturday loop with an hourly frequency, which would eliminate the need to transfer. It noted the implementation of real-time transit information would help mitigate the reduction from the 30-minute frequency.
The Saturday Loop (Route 5) went into service on September 1, 2016. It was suspended in August 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic but service was reintroduced on April 23, 2022, following an unmet transit needs finding that resumption of the service was reasonable to meet. On July 9, 2022, Saturday service was supplemented by a micro-transit pilot project (DART-N-GO), which will combine a general public ondemand service with ADA paratransit service using a single vehicle. The City is planning to begin operating only the DART-N-GO on-demand micro-transit service on Saturday beginning October 1, 2022.
Status: Implemented.

18 4. Trial service expansion to better serve commuters.
This recommendation called for the City to expand service beyond 5:00 p.m. (to 6:00 or 7:00 p.m.) on a trial basis to facilitate usage by those using the service to travel to and from work or school. The extended service could run on an hourly, rather than half-hourly, basis. The prior LRTP called for the City to secure grant funding for this program, which would also include a strong marketing and employer outreach and education component. This recommendation also suggested supplementing the more costly Dial-A-Ride with a volunteer driver program or Uber/Lyft-type ridesourcing services in order to reduce Dial-A-Ride costs.
Service currently ends by 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, and by 4:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Status: Not implemented.
5. Modify/expand existing routes to enhance access to developing area.
The prior LRTP included both near-term and long-term route modifications. Near-term modifications focused on adjusting existing route alignments to address planned and emerging developments. The longterm modifications included strategies such as an additional route to serve the Amtrak station west of Wasco Pond Road (to provide connections to California High Speed Rail) and service to the relocated airport. It anticipated a 31 percent ridership growth by 2025 and a 42 percent growth by 2040, due to a combination of population growth and increased accessibility and travel benefits (cost and time).
The introduction of microtransit service on weekdays is expected to address the need for service to the developing areas.
Status: Implementation in progress.
6. Expand or transfer Bakersfield service.
At the time of the prior LRTP, the City operated an intercity service connecting Delano and Bakersfield. It operated three roundtrips per day. The LRTP recommended the City either expand the route to serve California State University – Bakersfield, offer a later roundtrip, and explore dedicated funding support; or divest itself of the service, either through simply terminating it or by transitioning the service to Kern Transit.
Kern Transit has provided service between Delano and Bakersfield via Highway 43 via its Route 110 (formerly the North Kern Express) for nearly four decades. However, the City’s service, as recommended by the 2012 Transit Development Plan, provided express service between Delano and Bakersfield. As an express route, it traveled to Bakersfield via Highway 99, rather than traveling through McFarland, Wasco, and Shafter as Kern Transit’s Route 110 does.
On April 15, 2019, the Delano city council voted to discontinue the Bakersfield route due to its high operating cost per hour and low ridership.
Status: Implemented.

Final Report
19 7. Implement reduced-fare transit vouchers.
The City’s prior LRTP recommended the City use Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) money or other local funding to fund a reduced fare program targeting riders for whom cost is a barrier to ridership. The City has since used LCTOP and other funds to offer free fares during FY 2021/22 and FY 2022/23.
Status: Implemented.
8. Real-time arrival information system (to increase ridership).
The City approved implementation of a real-time bus arrival system in 2016. The system would include informational screens incorporated in subsequent bus shelter installations. This recommendation was intended to mitigate uncertainty related to a lower service frequency (30 to 60 minutes). This program has yet to be implemented. However, real-time arrival information is available through the Spare app in conjunction with the DART-N-GO micro-transit service.
Status: Not implemented.
9. Transition CNG vehicles to plug-in hybrid or battery-electric vehicles.
The prior LRTP recommended the City begin purchasing plug-in hybrid or battery-electric buses to replace its current CNG vehicles as they reach the end of their useful lives. Diesel cutaway buses and vans would be replaced by battery-electric vehicles as those vehicles become available.
In July 2021, the City approved a Memorandum of Understanding with Kern COG for participation in the Electric Vehicle (EV) Ready Charge Program. The program would provide $99,000 from Kern COG to assist the City in installing three level two electric vehicle charging stations. An additional $32,000 would be from local tax funds. The City has yet to complete the charging stations.
The City expects to develop a Zero-Emission Vehicle transition plan during FY 2022/23. It has yet to purchase any electric vehicles.
Status: Implementation in progress.
10. Amend zoning to allow transit-supportive development.
The prior LRTP called for the City to amend zoning regulations for the Downtown Commercial Zone and select General Commercial and Neighborhood Commercial Zones adjacent to downtown to allow for greater density and transit-supportive development patterns to occur.
The City’s Development Code has not been modified subsequent to the prior LRTP.
Status: Not implemented.

20 11. Increase community awareness of DART services.
Per the prior LRTP, the 2012 Transit Development Plan found there were significant knowledge gaps among the Delano community regarding DART. This should be addressed through formal and informal marketing outreach.
Overall, community awareness of DART is significantly higher than it was five to 10 years ago. Transit participates in National Night Out, Back to School nights, and other community events. It has also started giving out promotional items (bags, etc.). The microtransit program has recently been added to the website.
Status: Implemented.
12. Expand uses of buses.
Due to the relatively low capacity of DART buses, the prior LRTP suggested identifying alternative uses for the transit vehicles, such as local package or “meals on wheels” deliveries, providing parking shuttles for special events, or through promotion of bike-and-bus usages.
Following the prior LRTP, DART partnered with the City’s senior program and other local organizations to provide rides. This ultimately boosted Dial-A-Ride ridership, even though those partnerships did not continue. The City still provides periodic service for special activities (such as taking seniors to the fair).
Status: Implemented.
13. Explore vanpools as a supplement to, or substitute for, some service.
The prior LRTP suggested considering purchasing vans and managing commuter vanpools to Bakersfield College and/or CSU-Bakersfield in lieu of the Bakersfield intercity service.
Status: Not implemented.
14. Consider ridesourcing for first/last mile access to transit.
Shared-mobility pilot programs in Lamont-Arvin and Wasco using battery-electric vehicles for ridesourcing were cited in the prior LRTP as a potential strategy for addressing first- and last-mile transportation.
Status: Not implemented.
15. Conversion of MMCF to transit facility.
The November 2021 amendment to the prior LRTP recommended converting the former Delano Modified Community Correctional Facility (MCCF) located at 2727 West Industry Road into a transit operations and maintenance center. The City began moving forward with this recommendation and has secured the moore-associates.net

22 Section 4 | Public Engagement
Multiple approaches to community engagement were employed throughout preparation of the City’s Long Range Transit Plan to ensure broad representation from the Delano community. This included surveys specific to fixed-route riders and demand-response (dial-a-ride) customers, outreach to community stakeholders, and a bilingual online public comment mechanism. The result of each outreach activity is presented below.
4.1 Fixed-route Rider Survey
The transit customer engagement included two separate surveys. The first was conducted onboard the transit vehicles as well as at the City’s transit center. Trained, bilingual surveyors distributed bilingual (English/Spanish) surveys to persons believed to be 16 years and older. The surveyors were also available to assist riders complete the survey upon request.
Bus ridership during the survey period continued to be impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. A survey sample of 95 valid responses was achieved. Riders also had the option of completing an online version of the survey subsequent to their ride. These riders were provided a bilingual business card featuring a QR code link to the online survey.
The results of the survey were used to craft a profile of the typical fixed-route rider:
• Most common trip purpose: Access to local shopping (47 percent). • Typically rides five or six days/week (40 percent).
• Would walk (60 percent) if the service was not available. • Does not have access to a personal vehicle (73 percent). • Is age 61 and older (30 percent).
• Is retired (22 percent).
• Lives in a household of two persons (23 percent).
At the time of the survey, scheduled service was provided on four distinct route alignments which operate Monday through Friday. Only one route (the Saturday Loop) operated on Saturday on an hourly frequency. At the time of the survey the Saturday Loop was in its second week of restored service (after being suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic). As such, ridership was extremely limited.
Further, the service continued to operate on a fare-free basis during the survey period (a consecutive Thursday, Friday, Saturday in early May 2022). Therefore, questions regarding fare preference and/or fare collection were irrelevant.
On weekdays all routes offer 30-minute service and provide a time-transfer (connections) at the City’s transit center. Connections with Kern Regional Transit and Tulare County Transit are also available at the City’s transit center. The City’s transit center was constructed in 2004. moore-associates.net

23 Q1. Which route are you riding now?
Exhibit 4.1.1 Fixed-route route distribution
Q2. Where did you board the bus for THIS trip?
The most frequent boarding location for the surveyed trips was the Delano Transit Center, located at 1120 Glenwood Street (25 responses), followed by Casa Hernandez senior apartments (six responses). Though some boarding locations could not be precisely identified (e.g., respondent only provided one cross street, or did not specify which location of a chain store they were referring to), multiple boardings were cited at Cecil Avenue and Randolph Street (3), County Line Road and Kalibo Street (2), County Line Road and Oxford Street (2), Delano Marketplace (Marketplace Drive and Woollomes Avenue) (2), Komoto Pharmacy (1017 Ellington Street) (2), Legacy Estates (Calle Felix and Clark Street) (2), Morningside Elementary School (2100 Summer Drive) (2), Social Security office (2234 Girard Street) (2), and Vallarta (location not specified) (2).
Q3. Where do you plan to get off THIS bus? (Cross-streets or landmarks) The most frequent alighting location for the surveyed trips was the Delano Transit Center (1120 Glenwood Street) (18 responses), followed by Walmart (Delano Marketplace) (nine responses). Vallarta (820 Main Street) and Cecil Avenue and Randolph Street each generated four responses, while the Armory Hall (705 S. Lexington) was cited three times. Other stops with multiple alightings included 20th Avenue and Albany Street (2), Delano Garden Apartments (302 Garces Highway) (2), and Robert F. Kennedy High School (1401 Hiett Street) (2). Some alighting locations could not be precisely identified given the respondent only provided one cross street or did not specify which location of a chain store they were referring to.
The stop at the Armory Hall is the closest stop the trailer park homes located at 615 South Lexington.
Located across from the homes is the Memorial Park which is the site of community food distribution.
Q4. Does this one-way trip include a transfer to or from another bus? Just over one-third of respondents (35.2 percent) indicated making a transfer as part of their surveyed trip. At the time of the survey, the City’s fixed-route bus service was operating on a fare-free basis.
Therefore, there was no cost associated with making a bus-to-bus transfer. With that said, one of the typical advantages of an on-demand (micro-transit) service is a reduction or elimination in the incidence of transfers (i.e., multi-seat trips). This usually results in a reduced travel time, which is perceived as a benefit to transit users.

24 The incidence of transfer was similar among the four routes, though Route 1 had a slightly higher transfer rate (possibly due to fewer riders originating on Route 1).
Exhibit 4.1.2 Fixed-route distribution of transfers
Q5. How did you pay for THIS ride?
During the survey data collection period, the City has been using a portion of its federal transit funding to support a fare-free service. This policy was implemented shortly after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Providing free rides has been especially welcome given the economic impact of the pandemic as well as the high degree of transit-dependency reflected within the core transit ridership. The majority of respondents indicated paying no fare due to the fare-free program.
Q6. If you paid CASH, what fare category applies to you? Here again, the City’s transit service operated on a fare-free basis during the survey period. However, a review of historic performance data suggests approximately 40 percent of fixed-route riders use some form of reduced/subsidized fare media (i.e., senior fare, ADA fare, Medicare cardholder, student/youth fare).

25 Q8. How long have you been a DART Rider?
A review of the overall survey data suggests there is a relatively high level of transit-dependency within DART’s core customer base. This supposition is borne out by the number of rides taken in a typical week as well as limited access to a personal vehicle.
Exhibit 4.1.4 Fixed-route length of patronage
Q9. In a typical week, how often do you ride the DART bus? At the time of the survey, the City’s fixed-route service was operating chiefly on a five-day week, with one route operating on Saturday. Approximately 40 percent of the riders surveyed indicated riding almost every day. Surveyor observations suggest many DART riders also make multiple trips each day.
Exhibit 4.1.5 Fixed-route length of patronage
Q10. Do you currently use any of the following travel options in a typical month? There are a number of independent taxi and shuttle companies operating in and around Delano. While a survey of current taxi fares is beyond the scope of this study, the consultant’s field observations along with discussions with City staff suggests the average taxi trip distance is relatively modest. Further, at least some of the local taxi operators allow multiple persons to travel on a single or reduced fare.
Therefore, the fact 20 percent of the survey participants also use the local taxis isn’t particularly surprising.
What is interesting is that nearly 20 percent also uses the County’s service linking Delano and Bakersfield.
This suggests some important programs or services are not available in Delano. 10%

Q12. Rate the following DART service attributes.
The responses to Question 12 suggest a high level of customersatisfaction regarding the City’s fixed-route transit service. The service attribute with the lowest mean rating was “information provided to customers,” followed by “reasonableness of cost or fare” (which is ironic given the service was operating on a fare-free basis at the time of the survey).

Q13. Which of the following potential changes is most important to you? (Select up to three.) Given each of the routes currently operates on a 60-minute frequency, the request for increased service frequency is not surprising. This, as well as the desire for “later or longer service hours” should be ameliorated should the City introduce an on-demand (micro-transit) service in lieu of the current fixedroute service model.

Q13a. If you said “new destinations,” please specify where/location.
Four locations were identified by respondents who indicated service to new destinations was their desired improvement. These were County Line Road, Delano DMV, schools, and The Vineyard/Mayan Theater. • Route 3 current provides service along County Line Road between Girard Street and Princeton Street. Absent additional detail, it is difficult to know what portion of County Line Road needs to be served.
• The Delano DMV (7th Avenue and Jefferson Street) is not directly served by a fixed route. The closest stops are Route 1 at Jefferson and 9th Avenue (Vallarta) and Route 2 at Jefferson and 6th Avenue. Both of these stops are less than one-quarter mile from the DMV. 28%

Final Report
28 • All schools in Delano appear to be served by a fixed route operating within less than one-quarter mile from the school. It is possible some stops may need to be adjusted to better serve the schools, especially for younger children.
• The Vineyard/Maya Theater are located northwest of the Delano Marketplace (Walmart), across Woollomes Avenue. However, it is approximately a half-mile from the nearest bus stop to the entrance to the theater.
Should the City introduce an on-demand (micro-transit) service in lieu of the current fixed-route service model, access to each of the identified locations should be included within the service area.
Q13b. If you said “more connecting service,” please specify where.
Bakersfield and Tulare were noted as locations where more connecting service is needed. However, Kern Transit currently offers five roundtrips each weekday and two roundtrips each weekend day between Delano and Bakersfield, and TCRTA offers 10 roundtrips each weekday and four roundtrips each weekend day between Delano and Tulare.
Q14. If the improvement(s) you selected in the prior question is introduced, how would that affect your use of DART?
Approximately 48 percent of respondents said their use of DART would increase if their preferred improvement were introduced, while an equal number said their usage would stay the same. Just under five percent said they would ride less often.
Several of the following demographic questions were included to assist the City with future Title VI reporting.
Q15. Which of the following includes your age?
Among respondents who indicated their age, the majority (55 percent) were over the age of 45, with 36 percent over the age of 60.

This question inquires about race using the same definitions as the census. As discussed in Section 2, there is often confusion about this question for persons who identify as Hispanic or Latino, who may not consider themselves white but do not fit into another racial category. This question identifies a modest population of persons identifying as Asian/Pacific Islander and Black/African American. Question 20 provides a more accurate assessment of the Hispanic/Latino population. Those indicating “other” for Question 19 noted “Chicano,” “Hispanic,” “Latino,” “Mexican,” or “Spanish,” all of which are ethnicities, not races.

32 Q22. How well do you speak English?
There appears to be a significant population of individuals with limited English proficiency among DART’s fixed-route riders. While 56 percent of those responding to the question indicated speaking English “very well,” 17 percent cited speaking English less than “very well,” and another 27 percent said they did not speak English at all. This results in a total of 44 percent of respondents who would require information and communications in a language other than English, most commonly Spanish.
Exhibit 4.1.17 Fixed-route respondent English proficiency Q23. What is your annual household income?
Among respondents who indicated their household income, nearly three-quarters cited an income of less than $25,000 annually. For all but the smallest households, this income level lies below the federal poverty level.

4.2 Dial-A-Ride Rider Survey
A second transit rider survey, targeting dial-a-ride customers, was conducted using a database of registered program participants. A bilingual survey form was mailed to 250 persons identified as recent dial-a-ride customers.
The survey mailer included a postage-paid reply envelope as well as a participation incentive. 19 valid responses were received prior to the stipulated deadline.
The dial-a-ride service is open to seniors (age 61 and above) and persons with disabilities within Delano city limits as well as surrounding portions of Kern County. The service is also open to general public riders who need a ride to or from an area outside the City’s fixed-route service area.
Data from the surveys was used to create a profile of the typical dial-a-ride customer:
• Rides twice a week or less (47 percent).
• Typically relies on a same-day trip request (47 percent). • Most common trip purpose is to access healthcare services (68 percent). • Uses the service because they don’t drive or no longer drive (42 percent). • Typically travels alone (74 percent).
• Typically pays cash for the ride (63 percent).
• Rates the overall service “excellent” or “good” (95 percent). 1, 18%

Q8. Do you ever ride/use…?
There are a number of independent taxi and shuttle companies operating in and around Delano. While a survey of current taxi fares is beyond the scope of this study, the consultant’s field observations along with discussions with City staff suggests the average taxi trip distance is relatively modest. Further, at least some of the local taxi operators allow multiple persons to travel on a single or reduced fare.
Therefore, the fact 21 percent of the survey participants also use the local taxis isn’t particularly surprising.

However, an equally high percentage of riders cited no access to the technologies listed, which indicates an alternative to a smartphone app for booking microtransit rides (such as a phone number) would be necessary.

4.3 Stakeholder Survey
Among the core objectives of the City of Delano’s Long Range Transit Plan is the identification of mobility needs and priorities specific to historically transportation-disadvantaged populations. Typically such groups include seniors, persons with disabilities, low-income individuals, and persons who either do not drive and/or have limited access to a personal vehicle.
Given per capita income as well as mobility limitations identified through the American Community Survey as well as the recent transit rider surveys, transportation-disadvantaged persons often do not participate in traditional engagement activities such as community meetings, workshops, and surveys. Rather it often falls to community and social service organizations to serve as their representatives or advocates with respect to transportation needs and priorities. With this in mind, Moore & Associates conducted a mobility needs survey targeting a variety of community stakeholders throughout Delano. This activity included direct outreach to local healthcare, education and training, senior, disabled, and other organizations whose core clientele includes historic transportation-disadvantaged individuals.
A short bilingual (Spanish/English) survey was mailed to a representative at 18 organizations either based in Delano or having a significant presence in the city. Survey completion time was estimated to be less than 10 minutes, and a modest response incentive was included as well as a postage-paid reply envelope.
As the stipulated survey response deadline neared, up to three follow up attempts (via phone) were made to each organization. In some instances, a new or different contact at the respective stakeholder organization was identified. This effort resulted in 11 valid responses from the following organizations:
• Adventist Health Delano Hospital,
• California Farmworker Foundation,
• Community Connections Center,
• Da Vita Dialysis Center,
• Delano Adult School,
• Delano Association for the Developmentally Disabled,
• Delano Kidney Center,
• Filipino Community Cultural Center,
• Kern County Human Health Services,
• OLA Raza, and
• Proteus.

Q2. Which of the following programs and/or services does your organization provide? (Select all that apply.)
Four respondents indicated providing transportaton-related programs and/or services. The Delano Association for the Developmentally Disabled and the Delano Filipino Community Center said they directly operate transportation services. Adventist Health and Kern County Health and Human Services purchase/subsidize transit passes, tokens, or tickets. Adventist Health also directly purchases transportation services for its clientele and subsidizes employee use of transit.
Q3. Which of the following factors do you believe represents the greatest transportation challenge to your clients/members?
A need for travel training was the most frequently cited transportation challenge, followed by more service on weekends, earlier and later service on weekdays, and increased frequency. Two stakeholders also expressed a need for service to Bakersfield and the Delano Filipino Community Center3. 3 While there is no DART fixed-route stop at the Filipino Community Center, there is a Saturday Loop stop less than 300 feet away and a Route 4 stop just over 500 feet away on Cecil Ave. 91%

40 Section 5 | Recommendations
The following recommendations are based on current program performance, staff and community input, and consultant insight. While several of the recommendations should be implemented in the near-term, others may require a significant accumulation of capital or significant planning or enhanced coordination.
The recommendations build upon the City’s existing and planned transit program as well as existing and anticipated community demographics and development.
1. Implement micro-transit service in Delano, either to extend the reach of the transit program (alongside fixed-route and ADA paratransit service) or to replace the two-tier service.
In July 2022, the City introduced a pilot micro-transit program (DART-N-GO), which was envisioned to replace the Saturday fixed-route loop on October 1, 2022, and supplement the fixed-route program by July 1, 2023. The program currently utilizes the Spare software platform to operate a comingled ADA paratransit and general public on-demand micro-transit program. Rides are scheduled by dispatcher via phone or through the rider-facing Spare app.
Saturday service, which had been suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, was reinstated in April 2022. In July and August 2022, Saturday service consisted of the Saturday Loop fixed route and the combined ADA paratransit and micro-transit on-demand service. In July, Saturday ridership exhibited a 30 percent increase over the prior month. August ridership represented in Exhibit 5.1 includes only about half of the month, and is on track to meet or exceed that of July.
Exhibit 5.1 Impact of micro-transit on ridership
According to City staff, many of the current micro-transit riders are those coming into Delano via Tulare County’s regional service (formerly Tulare County Area Transit; now Tulare County Regional Transit Authority, or TCRTA). TCRTA’s South County route (Route 20) arrives at the Delano Transit Center at 9:38 a.m., 12:01 p.m., 3:14 p.m., and 5:37 p.m. DART’s Saturday Loop serves the Transit 17 59 69 79

Final Report
41 Center hourly beginning at 8:30 a.m. and ending at 4:20 p.m., with no service between 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. TCRTA riders quickly discovered they could use DART-N-GO to avoid a lengthy wait upon arriving at the Transit Center. Many reservations are made by phone, but City staff are working to transition riders to the app as much as possible. Staff also receive a number of calls about using the micro-transit service during the week, but such service is not yet being offered.
Beginning November 1, 2022, the City plans to introduce weekday micro-transit service alongside its four fixed routes using up to two micro-transit vehicles. This would expand transit service to areas not currently served by the fixed-route service. These include areas that are currently under development and/or do not have an established road network that could accommodate fixed-route service or the City’s larger buses. These areas are shown in Exhibit 5.2.
Exhibit 5.2 Micro-transit service expansion target areas Implementation of Saturday micro-transit service, upon elimination of the fixed-route service, is expected to result in a reduction in vehicle revenue hours and an increase in ridership.
Implementation of weekday micro-transit service will require the addition of a full-time micro-transit driver position.
In the future, the City will have several options regarding micro-transit, depending on the success of the pilot program.

CITY OF DELANO
2022 LONG-RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
Final Report
42 A. The City could continue using micro-transit to provide Saturday service and supplement the current fixed-route and ADA paratransit service on weekdays.
B. The City could replace its current fixed-route and ADA paratransit service with micro-transit.
C. The City could reconfigure its service to provide less fixed-route service and more micro-transit service, while continuing to operate both modes.
One of City’s concerns about transitioning to a micro-transit-only service is the uncertainty about demand. With fixed-route service, vehicle service hours can be readily predicted and budgeted for.
There is a significantly higher level of uncertainty with an on-demand service. Over the next few years, the City should be able to better determine whether full transition to a micro-transit service is feasible and/or desired. This will also allow for completion of some of the current residential developments, along with determination of whether fixed-route service could or should be extended to those areas.
Should the City decide to fully transition to a micro-transit service, it may wish to consider a zonebased approach, which would expand service to outlying areas while concentrating service in a core service zone. Exhibit 5.3 demonstrates a three-zone micro-transit system. All of the initial microtransit expansion areas described above are included within the core service zone, as are areas currently served by the fixed-route service.
Exhibit 5.3 Potential three-zone micro-transit service area With micro-transit introduced during a fare-free period (with fares covered with an LCTOP grant), the City will need to determine appropriate fare pricing prior to introducing fares. If micro-transit is used to supplement fixed-route service, the City may wish to charge a higher fare for micro-transit with fixed-route service remaining a lower-cost option. We recommend pricing all micro-transit trips the same as ADA paratransit trips (current $3.00 per one-way trip), while keeping fixed-route fares at $1.50 per one-way trip. The City will need to conduct a fare equity study prior to reintroducing fares since those fares will include new micro-transit fares. moore-associates.net
CITY OF DELANO
2022 LONG-RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
Final Report
43 If the City chooses to fully transition to micro-transit, we recommend implementing zone-based pricing. This would allow the City to charge a more modest price for short trips. Trips within the core Zone 1 (red) would be a flat fare. Given the size of the area, it is unlikely any single trip would be more than five miles in length. Riders traveling from Zone 1 to either Zone 2 (green) or Zone 3 (orange) would be charged a premium fare, as would trips covering all three zones. This would provide customers with access to outlying areas (such as the prisons), but at a higher fare to help offset the cost. Customers needing to travel within the existing service area could do so for a more modest cost.
Given the on-demand nature of micro-transit, most vehicles could be concentrated in Zone 1, and requests for service to Zones 2 and 3 dispatched when a request is received.
A zone-based fare structure may or may not include separate pricing for ADA customers or reduced fare eligibility. Because the service is not a fixed-route service, there are no constraints regarding how ADA paratransit must be priced. In addition, if all service is co-mingled, there is no reason to charge a higher fare for ADA paratransit. A sample fare schedule is provided in Exhibit 5.4. Additional fare types (reduced fares, multi-ride passes), if used, would need to be supported by the software platform.
Exhibit 5.4 Potential zone-based microtransit pricing
Distance traveled Fare
Travel within Zone 1, one-way $1.50
Travel between Zone 1 and either Zone 2 or 3, one way $3.00 Travel within all three zones, one way $5.00
A three-zone micro-transit system can be implemented in phases. Since Zone 1 encompasses the current ADA paratransit service area, it would be introduced first. Service to Zones 2 and 3 could be added later, either together or separately.
2. Convert the City’s transit fleet to zero-emission vehicles (ZEV).
As mandated under the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) legislation, all transit operators are required to plan for and begin a transition to a zero-emission fleet.
Small operators (such as Delano) have until 2026 to begin purchasing zero-emission vehicles (including battery-electric or hydrogen) instead of traditionally fueled vehicles (such as gasoline or diesel).
Starting January 1, 2026, 25 percent of all new bus purchases in each calendar year must be zeroemission. Starting January 1, 2029, all new bus purchases must be zero-emission. While this timeline provides smaller operators additional time to plan and fund a zero-emission fleet, there are certain steps that must be taken in order to ensure the City is able to comply with the ICT mandate.
It is important to note that replacement of existing traditionally fueled vehicles with zero-emission vehicles occurs as part of the regular replacement schedule. As such, it is likely the City will continue to operate gasoline, diesel, and/or CNG vehicles past 2029, through the end of each vehicle’s useful life.
There are two primary alternative fuels for zero-emission vehicles: battery-electric and hydrogen.
Battery-electric buses are far more prevalent within the industry, given the relative ease of installing moore-associates.net
CITY OF DELANO
2022 LONG-RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
Final Report
44 charging infrastructure. The challenge with battery-electric buses (BEBs) is the time needed to fully charge the battery, which can be up to six hours depending on the size of the battery and the nature of the charger, as well as the range of the vehicle. In many cases, this calls for a larger fleet than would be necessary for traditionally fueled vehicles, as a bus may need to be charged (and thus switched out) before the end of the service day.
Hydrogen vehicles have the advantage of fueling quickly in a manner similar to gas or diesel. However, they also require either an on-site reformer or a storage facility so that hydrogen can be trucked in.
There are currently no hydrogen fueling stations in Kern or Tulare County, so it would be a significant and expensive undertaking to fuel hydrogen vehicles in Delano. Hydrogen is considered a good alternative to BEBs in environments where routes are long and could not be completed on a single battery charge. Given the nature of the City’s current routes and the size of the service area, hydrogen power is not necessary, and BEBs would easily be able to deliver multiple trips on a single charge.
Two specific activities are identified under this recommendation.
A. Prepare a Zero-Emission Vehicle Rollout Plan. Even with BEBs identified as the most likely path forward for the transit program, it is necessary for the City to develop a Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Rollout Plan. The need for such a plan is two-fold. First, under the ICT mandate, operators must complete a rollout plan by June 30, 2023. In addition, a rollout plan is needed in order to be eligible for FTA Section 5339 Low-No Emission Bus funding. While the two requirements have some differences, they can easily both be addressed within a single ZEV Rollout Plan.
B. Implement the ZEV Rollout Plan through infrastructure development and vehicle purchases.
Once the ZEV Rollout Plan has been completed, it will provide a blueprint for the transition to a zero-emission fleet. It will identify what infrastructure is needed, range requirements for buses, potential funding sources, maintenance and workforce training requirements, fleet needs based on vehicle capabilities, and a fleet replacement plan.
3. Expand fixed-route service area to include new residential development.
The city of Delano is currently experiencing growth, with new residential developments under construction in the northwest and southwest parts of the city. In order to effectively address the City’s transportation needs, the City’s transit program must keep pace with this development. A preliminary strategy for providing service to these areas in the short-term was included within the micro-transit recommendation above. However, depending upon how the City ultimately decides to develop its transit program, it may need to redesign its fixed-route service so as to incorporate service to these and other currently un-served areas. It is possible that micro-transit will be a long-term solution for accommodating new development. Alternately, the City may wish to redesign its fixedroute network to provide service to these new areas.
4. Develop an ongoing marketing program to encourage transit ridership.
Marketing is an essential part of operating a transit program, even in a smaller community where it may feel like everyone already knows about it. Marketing helps keep transit “top of mind,” which moore-associates.net

2022 LONG-RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
Final Report
45 makes it more likely non-riders will consider it a viable option if their regular mode of travel is not available, if their child needs to get to school, or if a change in residence or employment necessitates a change in travel. It is also an essential part of the introduction/launch of new programs or services.
A standard marketing budget for transit is three percent of the operating budget. However, there are plenty of effective activities that can be implemented even on a shoestring budget. This is why a marketing plan is essential. It programs out the marketing activities, identifies low- and no-cost activities as well as those that must be budgeted for, and helps ensure transit has a consistent presence in the community.
Three activities are identified under this recommendation.
A. Develop a marketing plan. The marketing plan should cover a defined period and include both ongoing and periodic activities. Ongoing activities/materials are typically service information, website maintenance and updates, and social media. Periodic activities run the gamut from market research to participation in community events to marketing campaigns focused on a specific issue or topic. The marketing plan stipulates what design work might be needed, when certain activities should occur, and how much to budget for each activity. Often marketing plans can be scaled to accommodate any budget, and may include an additional “menu” of options should additional funding become available. A marketing plan may be completed inhouse or through a consultant, but in either case it should be prepared by someone knowledgeable in transit program marketing in a small urban community.
B. Implement the marketing plan. Once a marketing plan has been prepared, it should not be left to sit on the shelf! Instead, it should be viewed as a blueprint for transit marketing activities. It will be up to the City to determine whether it has the resources in-house to implement it effectively, or if an on-call consultant agreement would be more beneficial.
C. Implement a campaign to support the implementation of on-demand micro-transit. In order to ensure a successful implementation of on-demand micro-transit, it is imperative the City undertake a robust marketing campaign. Such marketing is necessary at each step of the transition, including the initial pilot program (currently underway), the full transition to ondemand Saturday service, and the introduction of weekday service. Further activities would be warranted whenever there is a change to or expansion of the program.
There are three key components to the marketing program needed during each transition. • Information. The marketing campaign must inform the public (riders and non-riders alike) about the facts of the change, including service hours, service area, fares, and how to ride. This may also include the “why” behind the change. • Education. In addition to providing the facts, riders need to be educated in how to use the new service. The more technology that is implemented (such as a rider app), the more education will be needed. This component should focus on “how-to” materials. • Promotion. Once people know of the change and how to use the system, promoting features and benefits of the new system is necessary to grow ridership. moore-associates.net
CITY OF DELANO
2022 LONG-RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
Final Report
46 Once the transition has been completed, informational and educational materials should be maintained on the City’s transit website so that new riders can easily access them.
While a marketing plan typically only covers one year at a time, it does not necessarily need to be completely rewritten each year. There should, however, be an annual process to update the marketing plan. This would allow the City (or its marketing consultant) to assess what worked well and what did not work well, identify new opportunities, and update the marketing budget.
5. Convert the Delano MMCF to a transit administration and operations facility.
The City of Delano currently maintains a fleet of 19 transit vehicles: two sedans, six minivans, two small cutaways (≤25 ft), and nine larger cutaways (>25 ft). The City does not expect to significantly expand its fleet, anticipating only one to three expansion vehicles across the next 20 years.
The City currently has gasoline, diesel, and CNG fueling at its Corporation Yard. It does not utilize external vendors. The City would like to have gasoline, diesel, and CNG fueling as well as batteryelectric charging capabilities at a dedicated transit maintenance facility.
Transit vehicles are currently stored at the Corporation Yard. However, there is no dedicated parking space for transit vehicles. There is insufficient parking space for the transit fleet. Therefore, transit vehicles must be continuously shifted around in order to have parking. Nor is there sufficient space to accommodate any fleet expansion.
The current maintenance facility (Corporation Yard) is located two miles from the transit center. There are no dedicated maintenance bays, although two “general use” bays are usually available for transit work. While there is no dedicated mechanic, the City has one mechanic who typically works on transit vehicles.
Currently, the City outsources transit fleet maintenance and repairs with respect to tires, A/C service, maintenance on CNG pumps, heavy chassis work, and vehicle suspension. It would like to be able to provide tires, heavy chassis work, and all A/C maintenance and repairs in-house, but is currently unable to do so given space, facility, or equipment constraints.
Administrative offices for the City’s transit program are located at the transit center. All administrative activities take place there, except for fleet maintenance and fueling (which occur at the Corporation Yard). The transit center features 2,700 square feet of administrative space and provides work space for a staff of 16 (transit manager, transit supervisor, lead driver, 10 drivers, two dispatchers, and one maintenance staffer). No non-transit functions currently operate from this location.
Transit management’s primary concern regarding the current administrative space is not only that it is unable to accommodate future growth, but that it is already insufficient for the City’s needs. Staff is concerned it will not have space for the new dispatcher it is about to hire. The transit center was moore-associates.net

Final Report
47 never intended to serve as the primary operations and administrative facility. The current space allocation arrangement also negatively impacts the customer experience as well.
Management’s primary concerns about the Corporation Yard include a lack of dedicated space for transit vehicle storage, lack of space to accommodate the planned battery-electric fleet charging infrastructure, lack of space for dedicated transit maintenance staff, and the inability to provide a full range of maintenance services due to a lack of space and/or equipment. As with the administrative space, it is already insufficient, and this will become more problematic as the City’s transit programs continue to develop.
There also is no current training space. Drivers need to train, and the current arrangement requires drivers to train on the street in active traffic.
With Delano’s population forecast to increase 35 percent between 2017 and 2042, the likelihood of needing to expand many of the City’s programs is high. Even if the Transit program saw little to no growth, increased population would ultimately result in a need for greater resources for other programs served by the Corporation Yard, such as police cars, fire trucks, garbage trucks, street maintenance vehicles, etc. Therefore, relocating Transit to a dedicated facility would not only provide Transit with ample space to operate and grow, but would free up the space it formerly occupied at the Corporation Yard for other programs.

In addition, a very active rail line is located between the Corporation Yard and the transit center, and all crossings are at-grade. Depending on activity on the rail line, this can directly impact transit service on-time performance while also increasing vehicle deadhead time and (potentially) transit program operating cost. If activity on the rail line continues to increase (as is forecast), it is likely to have a greater impact on transit service delivery.
The City is currently considering a site located at 2727 West Industry Road in Delano. The site is owned by the City and is the former Delano Modified Community Correction Facility (MCCF). It is a six-acre lot with 60,000 square feet roofed and 18,000 square feet of open concrete courtyards. The facility includes a central administration building and two dormitory buildings, each of which includes an enclosed courtyard. The former MCCF site is located four miles from the transit center. There is no active rail line between this site and the transit center. moore-associates.net

Final Report
49 Key facility features
In order for a potential dedicated transit maintenance facility to effectively meet the needs of the City’s transit program across the next 20 years, it will need to include the following features upon full build-out:
A. Effective allocation of space within the property – 50 percent for vehicle storage and circulation, 25 percent for employee parking, and 25 percent for building space.4 (Ideally, there would also be sufficient space to conduct driver “behind-the-wheel” training activities.) B. Two maintenance bays sized appropriately for current and future fleet vehicles.
C. At least one in-ground or portable lift.
D. Other fleet maintenance work areas and appropriate equipment.
E. Tire shop and tire storage.
F. Parts room/storage.
G. Maintenance offices (with space for records storage).
H. Security fencing, access gates, and lighting.
I. Break room with kitchen.
J. Transit administration/operations offices.
K. Computer room and file storage.
L. Dispatch office.
M. Money room.
N. Conference/training room.
O. Restrooms/locker rooms.
P. Reception area.
Q. Fueling stations (gas, diesel, CNG, and battery-electric charging).
R. Fuel storage and/or generation (above-ground).
S. Utility area/bus wash.
At least one of the existing structures would likely need to be demolished to provide sufficient space for the fleet fueling infrastructure (storage tanks, pumps, battery-electric vehicle charging, etc.). From a site layout perspective, it would make the most sense to retain the central administration building and remove the east dormitory building so as to create sufficient space for the desired fueling infrastructure. The west dormitory building could also be demolished at a later date, or be excluded from the project altogether and used for another purpose.
A Title VI Site Equity Analysis was completed in June 2022, with no adverse impacts identified.
6. Work with regional Kern County operators to implement a regional fare media or transfer agreement.
The City should consider working with other Kern County operators (especially Kern Transit) should a regional fare media or transfer agreement be proposed. The City does not have any existing regional or transfer agreements with other operators, nor is it positioned to be the lead agency for a regional fare. However, implementation of a regional fare would allow for more convenient travel between 4 “A How-To Guide for Maintenance Facility Design,” Fleet Maintenance, by David A.

Final Report
50 Delano and Bakersfield (and the rest of Kern County). Should Delano move ahead with the transition to an on-demand (micro-transit) service, regional fare media with a stored-value feature (which could be used for all participating agencies) might be the best option.
While a transfer program with paper transfers is a low-tech solution, use of stored-value on a regional smartcard would likely require additional technology. This would not necessarily mean a full farebox replacement, but could utilize the addition of a validator on each bus. The GenFare Open Link validator has the capability of reading stored-value smartcards and has a current cost of $2,400 per unit.
7. Institute a travel training program.
Travel training, as a mobility-enhancing strategy, has become increasingly commonplace, especially for transit programs in urbanized areas. This is especially true for transit programs which serve significant numbers of seniors and/or persons with disabilities. Effective travel training serves to mitigate the barrier of the “unknown,” assisting new or infrequent transit users to increase their comfort levels (and often that of their family members and/or caregivers). It is also an extremely valuable asset when a new program or service (such as micro-transit) is introduced.
Travel training programs serve a dual purpose. First, they raise awareness about what transit options are available; and second, they teach the skills needed to effectively use public transit. Travel training can be provided on an individual or group basis. This would enable social service organizations and other programs to host travel training sessions for their clients. Initial activities should focus on historically ride-dependent populations, including seniors, persons with disabilities, and low-income individuals, though holding some sessions open to the general public would be beneficial to increase familiarity with the micro-transit platform.
Moore & Associates believes many social service organization clientele warrant an additional educational step: on-site mobility or travel training. This would involve a qualified Visalia Transit representative visiting social service locations throughout the local service area to conduct short informational presentations, question/answer sessions, and “hands-on demonstrations” (e.g., how a wheelchair lift works, securing mobility devices, how to pay for a transit ride, rider behavior protocol, etc.).
In conducting successful travel training activities across the past 20 years, our approach has included a “tool kit” of service materials, a supply of free-ride tickets, a short (large font) presentation/discussion guide, and question/comment cards (for attendees too shy to verbally ask questions). We recommend limiting the group size to 12 and capping the session duration at 75 minutes. Given the likely target of the proposed travel training sessions would be mobilitylimited/disadvantaged individuals, having an actual dial-a-ride vehicle and a driver also attend has helped break through the unfamiliarity or hesitancy barrier.
Finally, we recommend (initially) conducting two sessions/month, preferably assigning the same “trainer” as there is a rhythm which will emerge following completion of the first few sessions. moore-associates.net

While the City’s transit website is functional and includes many of the essential components (schedules, maps, fares, policies, etc.), it is important to ensure the website is updated to reflect actual service conditions, including the introduction of the DART-N-GO micro-transit service.
At a minimum, the site should also include an easy-to-remember URL (such as www.DelanoDART.com; which can be redirected to the page on the City’s website); micro-transit information (including days, hours, cost, and how to book a ride); links to download micro-transit apps; and all linked .pdf files provided in Spanish as well as English (the site’s translation feature does not translated linked files).
The site should also ensure all pages are able to be translated into Spanish. moore-associates.net

52 Section 6 | Financial and Capital Plans
This section discussed financial considerations pertaining to both operating and capital revenues and expenditures. The following sub-sections include a description of major funding sources, a discussion of operating considerations and assumptions, a summary of proposed capital purchases, and a fleet replacement plan.
6.1 Funding Sources
The City of Delano currently funds its transit program’s capital and operating programs primarily through a combination of state and federal funding sources. This section details the City’s major sources of transit funding.
Federal sources
• FTA Section 5307: Section 5307 is the Federal Transit Administration’s Urbanized Area Formula Grants program. An urbanized area is defined as an incorporated area with a population of 50,000 or more. Delano was designated as a small urbanized area (UZA) following the 2010 census.
Section 5307 funding may be used by urbanized areas with a population under 200,000 for operating assistance or capital purposes. Apportionments for these areas is based on population and population density. For most capital expenditures, the federal share may not exceed 80 percent of the total project cost. For operating assistance, the federal share cannot exceed 50 percent of the total project cost.
• FTA Section 5339: Section 5339 is the Federal Transit Administration’s Bus and Bus Facility Grants program, which provides funding for vehicle acquisition and rehabilitation as well as the construction of bus-related facilities. Funding is provided through a combination of formula allocations and competitive grants. One of the competitive grants (5339(b)) provides funding to rehabilitate or purchase buses and bus-related equipment and construct bus-related facilities.
The other (5339(c)) is the Low- and No-Emission Vehicle Program, which provides funding for the purchase or lease of zero- and low-emission vehicles and development of supporting facilities. • Transportation Development Credits: Formerly called Toll Revenue Credits, Transportation Development Credits provide a credit toward a project’s local share for certain expenditures with toll revenues. While these are state-generated funds (and considered a local share for federally funded projects), they are often documented as federal funding for reporting purposes as they are awarded through a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) program. Essentially, the federal government credits states for investments in toll roads and toll bridges and allows them to use the credits as a match on other federal funding programs.
State sources
• Local Transportation Fund (LTF): LTF is one of the funding sources created under the Transportation Development Act (TDA). It derives funds from a ¼ cent sales tax. The revenues generated under this sales tax are returned to the county in which they were collected. The Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) in each county is responsible for apportioning those funds to jurisdictions within the county based on population. LTF funds can be used for moore-associates.net
CITY OF DELANO
2022 LONG-RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
Final Report
53 operating or capital purposes. In some cases, LTF funding can also be used to fund streets and roads projects if it is determined there are no unmet transit needs that are “reasonable to meet.” • State Transit Assistance (STA) Fund: The STA Fund is the other funding source created under the Transportation Development Act (TDA). STA revenues are generated from sales tax on gasoline and diesel fuel. STA funds are allocated based on population and transit revenues. STA funds can be used for capital or operating purposes, though there are some eligibility criteria regarding use for operating purposes.
• Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP): LCTOP was created as part of the Transit, Affordable Housing, and Sustainable Communities Program under Senate Bill 862. It provides operating and capital assistance for transit agencies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve mobility, especially in disadvantaged communities. Allocations are made to transit operators within each county, and RTPAs often coordinate the use of funds between operators within their jurisdiction. Projects are submitted to Caltrans for approval. Eligible projects may include new or expanded bus service, capital improvements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and projects benefitting disadvantaged communities. Many operators (including Delano) have used LCTOP to provide free fare programs to encourage transit use, especially those serving disadvantaged communities.
• Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) – The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017: SB 1 was signed into law on April 28, 2017, to provide $54 million in funding over 10 years to fix roads, bridges, and freeways and expand transit and safety. SB 1 provides additional funding through the STA program ($328 million annually) for public transit planning, operating, and capital purposes. It also providesfunding under the State of Good Repair (SOGR) program to provide transit operators with a consistent and dependable revenue source to invest in the upgrade, repair, and improvement of transportation infrastructure and services.
Other revenues
The City of Delano also receives revenues through a number of other local sources. These include farebox revenues, revenues from Kern County for operations within the unincorporated area of Kern County surrounding Delano, investment earnings, transit advertising sales, CNG fuel sales, and the sale of real property. These local revenues supplement state and federal funding and help to increase the farebox recovery ratio with respect to TDA compliance.
6.2 Financial Plan
Any long-term financial plan relies heavily on assumptions, especially in times of high uncertainty. While a long range transit plan typically offers a path forward across the next 20 years, the financial plan contained herein offers guidance for only the next 10 years given the instability of the current funding environment. As a result, this plan focuses on likely funding availability for the next 10 years and offers general guidance for the subsequent 10-year period.
The financial plan makes the following assumptions:
• The City continues to fund its transit program primarily through FTA Section 5307 funds and Transportation Development Credits (Toll Credits). Exhibit 6.2.1 anticipates an increase of two percent per annum for each of these revenue sources.
moore-associates.net
CITY OF DELANO
2022 LONG-RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
Final Report
54 • State Transit Assistance (STA) funds are also expected to increase at a rate of two percent per annum.
• The City does not currently claim LTF funds for transit, but instead opts to claim its allocation under Article 8 for streets and roads. Beginning in FY 2026/27, however, the City will likely need to claim some LTF funding for transit as operating costs are expected to increase at a greater rate than the federal and state allocations it relies on for the bulk of its funding. • Most other local revenues are assumed to increase at a rate of two percent per annum. • CNG sales (shows as Transfers In from Garage) are assumed to remain static as fleets transition toward zero-emission vehicles. This revenue source is likely to begin decreasing at some point, but may not do so appreciably until after FY 2032/33.
• Operating expenses are assumed to increase by five percent per annum through FY 2028/29, then by four percent per annum through the balance of the 10-year period. • Fuel costs are assumed to remain static beginning in FY 2026/27 as the City begins its transition to battery-electric vehicles. While it will continue operating gas and diesel vehicles, the electricity cost for the battery-electric vehicles will likely offset any increase to fuel prices. Eventually this cost will decrease as the City operates more electric vehicles and fewer gasoline and diesel vehicles.
• CNG fuel costs are eventually expected to decrease as the City shifts away from conventional fuels. However, this is not likely to happen until after the 10-year financial plan horizon given the age of the CNG vehicles.
Operations funding observations
If FTA 5307 funding and Transportation Development Credits increase at a rate lower than inflation, the City will need to identify an additional funding source by FY 2026/27. The most readily available funding is LTF funding, which the City currently does not use for transit. For the balance of the 10-year period, the City would not need to use its full LTF allocation for transit, which would leave some funding available for streets and roads. Rather than using LTF as a primary funding source, as many operators do, the City should use LTF to make up the difference for any funding shortfall. This should enable the City to utilize the greatest amount of federal funding available while preserving as much funding for local streets and roads as possible.
Of some concern is the announcement by the Census Bureau regarding changes to the classification of urban and rural geographic areas. As a small urbanized area considered “urbanized” due to local correctional center populations, Delano is potentially at risk for being “downgraded” to a rural area. This would have a significant impact on federal funding, as the City would no longer qualify for Section 5307 funding, but would instead receive Section 5311 funding (for non-urbanized/rural areas). The final announcement of urban areas based on the 2020 census is expected to be released in December 2022.
Should Delano be no longer considered an urbanized area, it would likely have to depend even more on LTF funding, possibly leaving little for streets and roads uses. It would also be responsible for a 10 percent farebox recovery ratio as a rural operator, rather than for the 20 percent normally required for urbanized operators.
At present, though, the City will be responsible for meeting a 20 percent farebox recovery ratio once the penalty waiver for non-compliance with this requirement of the Transportation Development Act (TDA) expires at the end of FY 2022/23. Therefore, beginning in FY 2023/24, assuming the City is still classified moore-associates.net
CITY OF DELANO
2022 LONG-RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
Final Report
55 as an urban operator, Delano will need to meet the 20 percent requirement. Given recent changes in the TDA that allow additional revenues (including federal funding) to be counted toward the farebox recovery ratio calculation, this is not expected to be an issue. However, this new calculation methodology only changes what can be included in the farebox recovery ratio calculation and does not result in any additional funding. As a result, the City may need to re-evaluate its fare structure in the coming years to determine if a fare adjustment is warranted to help it meet its revenue requirements. If so, a fare equity study must be prepared to ensure the City remains in compliance with federal Title VI.
As the City moves forward with development of the MCCF into a transit operations and maintenance facility and begins its transition to electric vehicles, operating and maintenance costs are likely to shift.
However, the exact nature of how those costs will shift cannot be effectively predicted at present. In addition, the unclear completion timelines for each of these projects makes it even more difficult to effectively quantify their impact on the overall operating budget. It is likely the City will need to hire several new maintenance staff (including those with experience working on battery-electric vehicles) to be assigned to the new transit maintenance and operations facility once maintenance operations are transitioned to the new location. This will increase salary and benefits line items in the year of hire and in all subsequent years. These new staff positions are not reflected in the financial plan.
The introduction of battery-electric vehicles will ultimately increase the cost of electricity and decrease the cost of traditional fuels, but this transition is likely to take place gradually across the next 10 years as existing vehicles are replaced by battery-electric vehicles. While many of the City’s vehicles have a maximum useful life benchmark (ULB) of seven years (according to the 2022 Transit Asset Management Plan), several vehicles are beyond their ULB by several years. Any vehicle replaced prior to January 1, 2023, may be replaced with a conventional fuel vehicles; after January 1, 2026, at least 25 percent of vehicle purchases each year must be zero-emission vehicles. After January 1, 2029, all vehicle purchases each year must be zero-emission vehicles (though conventional fuel vehicles still in active service may continue to be operated through the end of their useful life). As such, the City’s operating and maintenance budget (including fuel) is forecast based on the status quo (FY 2022/23) rather than anticipating the introduction of battery-electric vehicles.
The City currently intends to introduce micro-transit service as a supplemental weekday service no later than July 1, 2023. As such, the status quo financial forecast for FY 2023/24 reflects the addition of salary and benefitsfor an additional full-time employee. This assumes an annual salary of approximately $30,000 and benefits package of approximately $15,000.

2022 LONG-RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
Final Report
58 Fiscal impact of recommendations
The financial impact of several of the recommendations set forth in Section 5 is reflected in the status quo financial plan shown above. This includes recommendations #1 (micro-transit), #2 (zero-emission vehicle transition), and #5 (maintenance and operations facility). The financial impact of each of the remaining recommendations is discussed below.
Recommendation #3: Expand fixed-route service area to include new residential development.
Expansion of the fixed-route service to include new residential development may be realized in a number of different ways, not all of which will require an increase in operating cost. If the City decides to continue serving these areas via micro-transit (as already planned), there may be little additional operating cost.
In a similar manner, if the expansion areas can be incorporated into existing routes without adding more vehicle service hours, there would be little to no additional operating cost. However, if the City were to add more routes or significantly expand its fixed-route service, this would need to be detailed in a separate transit service plan.
Recommendation #4: Develop an ongoing marketing program to encourage transit ridership.
Ideally, the cost of transit marketing should comprise approximately three percent of the transit operating budget. For Delano, this would be a budget of roughly $69,000 in FY 2022/23, increasing to $110,000 in FY 2032/33. This funding may be secured by using LTF funds or by pursuing additional grant funding for the marketing program. Marketing programs can also be scaled to offer the maximum return on investment for a broad range of budgets, which offers considerable flexibility.
Recommendation #6: Work with regional Kern County operators to implement a regional fare media or transfer agreement.
This long-term recommendation is highly dependent upon whether there is regional interest in such a program, what the terms of the agreement are, and how the program is implemented. As such, no financial impact can be assessed at this time.
Recommendation #7: Institute a travel training program.
Like a marketing program, a travel training program is highly scalable to fit available funding. Given the City’s transition in part to micro-transit service, providing instruction regarding how to use the service is a particularly timely activity. A starting annual budget of $12,000 is recommended during the first couple of years, which would provide an average of two sessions per month. The program can be expanded as needed, with the budget increased by approximately $500 per session to cover staff time and program materials. This can be incorporated into the marketing budget, if desired.
Recommendation #8: Enhance the City’s Transit website.
The City’s website needs to be updated to reflect changes to the transit program, including the introduction of micro-transit services. As such, the City should budget for a comprehensive “refresh” of its transit website in FY 2023/24 so as to be reflective of the current service. A budget of $20,000 is recommended, with ongoing support (either in-house or via a consultant) to ensure the site is updated regularly and accurately reflects current service information. This can be incorporated into the marketing budget, if desired.

2022 LONG-RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
Final Report
59 6.3 Capital Plan
The City has two primary capital project types specific to transit: Rolling stock and infrastructure. Rolling stock refers to the vehicles needed to provide and support the transit service. Infrastructure refers to facilities such as the transit center and new operations and maintenance facility, bus stops, and fueling infrastructure (including gasoline, diesel, CNG, and electric charging).
The City has been accumulating funding to purchase the decommissioned Delano Modified Community Correctional Facility (MCCF) property for conversion to a new transit operations and maintenance facility.
The City intends to use FTA 5307 funding from FY 2016/17, FY 2017/18, FY 2018/19, FY 2019/20, and FY 2020/21 for the majority of the purchase price ($8,000,000), and Transportation Development Credits (toll credits) for the remaining $2,000,000. The City intends to use State of Good Repair funding ($180,000 applied for) as well as State Transit Assistance funds ($835,087; from FY 2020/21 and FY 2021/22) to rehabilitate the MCCF for use as a transit operations and maintenance facility.
The City recently replaced two diesel buses with CNG buses and will replace another two diesel buses with CNG buses in two years using FTA 5339 funding. The City also intends to use FTA 5339 funding to begin updating the transit infrastructure for electric vehicle charging. The transition to battery-electric vehicles is expected to be further detailed in the City’s Zero-Emission Vehicle Rollout Plan, to be completed in FY 2022/23. This document will provide a more comprehensive overview of the City’s rolling stock and infrastructure needs as well as the total cost of the transition. It is expected all existing transit vehicles will be replaced within the next 10 to 12 years. This will enable the City to meet the state’s goal of 100 percent electric fleets by 2040.

2022 LONG-RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
Final Report
60 6.4 Fleet Replacement Plan
Every four years, the City is responsible for preparing a Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plan. While the TAM Plan was recently updated for 2022, it typically forecasts fleet replacement across a four-year horizon. Exhibit 6.4.1 includes a summary of each current transit vehicle, its eligible year of replacement (based on the FTA useful life benchmark/ULB), and proposed transition of the fleet to electric vehicles. As mentioned in the prior section, the City’s pending Zero-Emission Vehicle Rollout Plan, to be completed in FY 2022/23, will provide a more comprehensive overview of the City’s fleet replacement strategy, as well as identify the potential need for an increased spare ratio to mitigate the impact of the battery-electric fleet.
It should be noted that some of the City’s transit vehicles have relatively low mileage as compared to their age. As such, many of the vehicles will not need to be replaced when they reach the FTA-defined ULB, but rather when they reach the minimum mileage for retirement of that asset. (Note: Replacement mileage for non-revenue cars and trucks is not noted in Exhibit 6.4.1, only the ULB stipulated in the City’s TAM Plan.)
The fleet replacement plan assumes the transition to electric vehicles could begin as early as FY 2024/25.
One-quarter of new vehicle purchases beginning in 2026 must be zero-emission, and all vehicle purchases beginning in 2029 must be zero-emission.

Agenda Item: 20
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Maribel Reyna, City Manager
By: Viviana Zamora, Transportation Manager
SUBJECT: Extend Moore and Assoicates contract to write the Delano Area Rapid Transit Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Plan
Recommendation
Approve to Extend Moore and Associate’s contract to write the Delano Area Rapid Transit Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Plan
Discussion
To meet California's health based air quality standards and greenhouse gas emission reduction goals, the cars we drive and the fuel we use must be transformed away from petroleum. The Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) program is part of CARB's and FTA’s Advanced Clean Cars package. There are actually two ZEV Plan requirements – one from the FTA and one from the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The FTA requirements must be met for any FTA 5339/Low-No funding applications, while the CARB plan is required to be completed by June 30, 2023 as part of the Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) mandate.
Moore and Associates is familiar with the Delano Area Rapid Transit Department and have completed previous projects in a timely manner. They are also assisting other agencies such as Kern Transit with their ZEV plan. It is the City’s best interest to continue the services provided with Moore and Associates.

Re: City of Delano Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Transition Plan Dear Viviana:
Enclosed is Moore & Associates, Inc.’s proposal to prepare a Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Transition Plan for the City of Delano.
As a results-oriented consulting firm serving a client base composed exclusively of public transportation entities, Moore & Associates, Inc. possesses the necessary expertise to assist the City meet the requirement to develop a ZEV Transition.
There are actually two ZEV Plan requirements – one from the FTA and one from the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The FTA requirements must be met for any FTA 5339/Low-No funding applications, while the CARB plan is required to be completed by June 30, 2023 as part of the Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) mandate. Fortunately, the content of the two plans is similar in many ways. The FTA also stipulates that if a similar plan is in place that includes some of the components, that plan can be submitted provided any additional components required by the FTA are included in an addendum.
However, given these plans would be developed concurrently, they can be prepared as a single plan that includes all the components for both the CARB ZEB Rollout Plan and the FTA Fleet Transit Plan for ZEV.
The resulting plan would meet the requirements for both entities, ensuring compliance with CARB and providing the County with the appropriate documentation for future FTA 5339 Low-No grant applications.
We propose Senior Associate Kathy Chambers as Project Manager. Kathy is intimately familiar with the requirements of CARB and FTA ZEV Plan requirements and regularly supports Moore & Associates’ clients regarding transition to a zero-emission fleet. Recently Kathy has authored successful FTA-compliant plans (including Title VI, PTASP, and TAM Plans) for the cities of Arvin, Azusa, Calabasas, Fresno, Lompoc, Porterville, Shafter, Solvang, Thousand Oaks, and Tulare. She will be assisted by Jim Moore, our firm’s founder, who recently assisted the Antelope Valley Transit Authority with its 100-percent transition to a battery-electric bus fleet, the first in the nation.
This proposal represents a firm offer that remains in effect for 60 days following submission. As our firm’s Corporate Secretary, I am authorized to negotiate and sign any legally binding contract on behalf of Moore & Associates, Inc.
We have enjoyed working with the City in the past and look forward to the prospect of assisting you with this important project. Thank you for your consideration of Moore & Associates, Inc.
Sincerely,
Allison Moore
Corporate Secretary

Scope of Work ................................................................................ 01 Cost Proposal.................................................................................. 05 Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Transition Plan
City of Delano, California
Proposal
Moore & Associates, Inc. | 2022
1 Scope of Work
The following scope of work is designed so as to be compliant with both FTA and CARB requirements for the ZEV Transition Plan and to be completed prior to June 2023 so that the Plan can be used for transit program budget development as well as preparation of any federal grant applications for the purchase of rolling stock and/or infrastructure to support the transition.
Task 1: Project management
Upon receipt of the City’s Notice to Proceed, our project manager will facilitate a virtual project initiation meeting. During that meeting we will review the scope of work, project timeline, points of contact, and the Basecamp project collaboration platform. We will also prepare an initial data needs request so that staff can begin compiling the necessary information.
So as to keep progress on the project moving, we propose convening biweekly virtual project status meetings. These meetings typically last 30 minutes or less and ensure all parties are on the same page regarding data requests, review of deliverables, and the like. Each monthly invoice will be accompanied by a progress memo detailing progress made during the prior month.
Deliverables: Project initiation meeting (agenda and summary), data needs request, monthly progress memos.
Task 2: Data Collection and Visioning
Following receipt of information via our initial data request, we recommend a visioning meeting to be held with City staff, as well as any other parties whose input might be relevant at this stage. The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss various data items as well as the City’s “vision” for its zero-emission vehicle transition. During this meeting, our project team will also be available to answer questions City staff may have regarding CARB or FTA requirements specific to the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) transition.
Task 3: Technology Portfolio
The CARB requirement for this section is a response to the following question: What type(s) of zeroemission bus technologies does your transit agency plan to deploy through 2040? In order to be compliant with the FTA, however, additional information is needed. This additional information includes consideration of policy and legislation impacting relevant technologies as well as a description of the transit agency’s partnership with the appropriate utility or alternative fuel provider. Under this task, our project team will work with City staff to address these three topics.
City staff has already indicated a preference for battery-electric vehicles buses given the characteristics of the Delano Area Rapid Transit (DART) service area as well as the forecast availability of supporting infrastructure. This task will include an assessment of the preferred technology, relevant state and federal policies and legislation regarding that technology, and a discussion of fuel providers. This task may also include one or more meetings with alternative fuel providers and/or vehicle manufacturers as needed to acquire additional data regarding the technology.
Deliverable: Technical memo #1 – Technology Portfolio.

2 Task 4: Fleet Planning
In Task 4, our project team will compile information about the City’s current transit fleet as well as anticipated future transit vehicle purchases. For current vehicles, CARB requires data regarding engine model year, bus model year, fuel type, and bus type, and the quantity of each. For future bus purchases, CARB is seeking a timeline by purchase year detailing the number of buses being purchased, number/percentage of zero-emission vehicles, type of ZEV bus, ZEV fuel type (including charging technology, as applicable), number/percentage of conventional buses, type of conventional bus, and conventional fuel type. The City’s existing TAM Plan will be the initial source for this information, and we will work with staff to identify a realistic plan to achieve full transition to zero-emission vehicles by 2040, with all purchases after 2028 being zero-emission vehicles.
CARB also requires the ZEV Plan to specify the required operational range for future zero-emission vehicles in DART’s fleet, as well as the estimated cost for each vehicle. “Range” is defined as miles per charge for battery-electric vehicles. This task may also include correspondence and/or meetings with vehicle manufacturers as needed to acquire additional data regarding available vehicles.
Should the City be interested in converting some of its conventional buses to zero-emission vehicles, this section will also include a timeline for those conversions, including details about the propulsion system to be removed and the new propulsion system, cost per bus, and anticipated range.
Additionally, for compliance with the FTA, the ZEV Plan must demonstrate a long-term fleet management plan demonstrating the strategy by which the City will use any requests for FTA resources and funding.
Moore & Associates believes the detail provided in this section, along with the subsequent funding section, will address this requirement.
Deliverable: Technical Memo #2 – Current Bus Fleet Composition and Future Bus Purchases.
Task 5: Facility Planning
Task 5 examines relevant facilities and infrastructure that may or will need upgrades or modifications in order to effectively deploy and maintain zero-emission vehicles. This includes bus yards, maintenance and fueling facilities, and charging stations (but does not include administrative buildings, training centers, etc.). For each facility, CARB requires the facility name, address, primary function(s), type(s) of infrastructure, service capacity, whether it needs to be upgraded, and the estimated construction timeline. This section also requires a more detailed discussion of what types of upgrades or modifications are needed to support the long-term transition to zero-emission vehicles (for example, if the installation of charging infrastructure would reduce the number of buses a facility can accommodate).
The requirements under CARB also address the FTA’s requirement to include an evaluation of existing and future facilities and their relationship to the technology transition.
Deliverable: Technical Memo #3 – Facilities and Infrastructure Modifications.
Task 6: Providing Service in Disadvantaged Communities
During Task 6, our project team will work with City staff to determine anticipated deployment of zeroemission vehicles within the disadvantaged communities located within and adjacent to Delano, as Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Transition Plan
City of Delano, California
Proposal
Moore & Associates, Inc. | 2022
3 identified by the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) under Senate Bill 535. These areas represent the 25 percent highest scoring census tracts in CalEnviroScreen 4.0, which identifies communities disproportionately burdened by multiple sources of pollution and with population characteristics that make them more sensitive to pollution. This task will result in a timeline for deployment of zero-emission buses serving disadvantaged communities.
Deliverable: Technical Memo #4 – Service in Disadvantaged Communities.
Task 7: Workforce Planning
CARB requires the ZEV Plan include the transit provider plan and schedule for the training of bus operators and maintenance and repair staff on zero-emission bus technologies. Using information obtained from vehicle manufacturers and the City, we will work with staff to determine what training is needed, who can provide the necessary training, and a timeline for its completion based on ZEV deployment and facility/infrastructure upgrades/construction. Under the FTA’s requirements, this section must also include identification of skill gaps in the current workforce. The goal of this section is to ensure bus operator and maintenance staff are sufficiently trained in the new technology without displacing the existing workforce.
Deliverable: Technical Memo #5 – Workforce Planning.
Task 8: Funding
In this task, our project team will work with City staff to identify the potential funding sources needed to acquire and maintain zero-emission vehicles and infrastructure. Ideally, this section will include a timeline for funding, identification of the funding source, how each funding source is planned to be used, the estimated amount of funding, and how many zero-emission buses will be purchased or maintained (or infrastructure installed or upgraded) with those funds. While this level of detail is not strictly required under CARB, it does support the FTA’s requirement that the Plan address the availability of current and future resources to meet costs for the transition and implementation.
Deliverable: Technical Memo #6 – Potential Funding Sources.
Task 9: ZEV Plan Draft Report
The full ZEV Plan report will follow the format required for compliance with CARB while incorporating additional elements required by the FTA. The full ZEV Plan report will include the following sections:
A. Transit Agency Information
B. Rollout Plan General Information
C. Technology Portfolio
D. Current Bus Fleet Composition and Future Bus Purchases E. Facilities and Infrastructure Modifications
F. Providing Service in Disadvantaged Communities
G. Workforce Training
H. Potential Funding Sources

4 The draft report will be prepared primarily utilizing work products from prior tasks. It will be provided to the City for review no later than April 1, 2023. Since the majority of the sections will have been reviewed as part of a prior task, we do not anticipate there being any significant “surprises” at this stage of the project. If desired, a virtual “table-read” with City staff will be held to walk through the full report prior to its finalization.
Task 10: ZEV Plan Final Report
Once all comments regarding the draft report have been received, Moore & Associates will finalize the ZEV Plan. The final Plan will be completed no later than May 1, 2023, so that it can be presented to the Delano city council and adopted via resolution. Once adopted, our project team will update the report to include the signed resolution within the report appendix.

STAFF REPORT
November 7, 2022
Agenda Item: 21
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Maribel Reyna, City Manager
By: Ricardo G. Chavez, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Introduction and first reading regarding an ordinance of the City of Delano amending chapter 10.24.090 departmental services charge for paradesfuneral processions-meetings and special events, section 4 and adding Delano Hometown Heroes Parade Committee, Inc. for Veteran’s Day Parade to the list of organizations (Solorio-Ruiz)
Recommendation
Staff recommends to the City Council to discuss and provide direction.
Discussion
Council Member Solorio-Ruiz requested that this new tradition of honoring Delano’s Home Town Hero Veterans should be added to the ordinance under the same fee charge.
In February 2009, the City Council worked with five organizations Delano Chamber of Commerce, Philippine Weekend Committee, Cinco De Mayo Fiesta, Inc., Delano Harvest Holidays Committee and Delano Union School District within the city, who have had a long standing tradition of providing programs that benefit the citizens of Delano.
As a result of reviewing the City fees associated with their respective events, a recommendation was made to amend Section 10.24.090 regarding service fees in respect to the fees these organizations would pay. Specifically, a flat fee of $1000.00 per organization would be paid to the City for their event as listed in this section.
Additionally, a standardized cleanup fee was also identified in this same section. In addition to the two changes, a new section 10.24.170 was added to the Chapter, which, based on an agreed upon route by all five organizations, became the standardized parade route for these events was established.
The proposed ordinance, as shown below with italics for additions and strike though for deletions, would amend section C4. to Subsection 10.24.090 to read as follows:
10.24.090 - Departmental services charge
“4. Certain organizations, within the City, have historically held parades in the City and due to this long prior history of providing these events on behalf of the citizens of Delano, shall be entitled to pay the following fees for the events listed:
a. Parade fee of $1000.00
b. City cleanup fee of $350.00
Delano Chamber of Commerce for the Christmas Parade
Philippine Weekend Committee for the Philippine Weekend Parade Cinco De Mayo Fiesta, Inc. for the Cinco De Mayo Fiesta Parade Delano Harvest Holidays Committee for the Harvest Holidays Parade Delano School District for the Kiddie Parade
Delano Hometown Heroes Parade Committee, Inc. for Veteran’s Day Parade All fees to be charged to these events shall be payable in their full amount at the time the event permit is submitted for approval through the City of Delano Risk Management.” Budget Impact
Including this parade would require for any future costs associated with this parade to be absorbed by the City internally.
