B. Adoption of a Policy for City of Farmersville Event Grant Funding Recommend that the City Council review and adopt a Policy for City of Farmersville Event Grant Funding.

Documents: Policy for Event Grant Funding
City Manager Jennifer Gomez introduced the draft of the Farmersville Event Grant Funding Policy, encompassing aspects of eligibility, compliance with California Law, indemnification, funding allocation, reporting, and potential application requisites. The proposed policy aims to provide support for youth-related programs, granting eligible non-profit organizations a maximum of $1,500 per application. These organizations will be obliged to adhere to the regulations outlined in California AB 506. Reporting obligations involve the submission of usage reports and receipts. Applications, requiring the endorsement of the organization's President or Treasurer, must include documents such as /RS. 501(c) determination letters, details about board members, and financial statements.

During the City Council discussion, they explored ways to craft an Event Grant Funding policy that encourages applicants and enhances activities for all residents. Key changes to consider include prioritizing youth services while opening the application process to all, including potential adult sports leagues. Funding should support events and programs, and removing the requirement for formal non-profit status was also recommended. Additionally, the Council expressed a desire to maintain the subcommittee for reviewing potential applicants.

The City Staff emphasized the prudent use of public funds and the need to hold third- party applicants accountable, similar to the City's own financial responsibilities. This policy aims to ensure equal treatment for all applicants. Attorney Schulte suggested that the Council consider changing the IRS 501(c) requirement to a Public Benefit Corporation designation, eliminating exemptions, and requiring federal status explanations.

A public comment opened at 6:57 PM.

Ricardo Maldonado, a resident of Farmersville and organizer of the Farmersville Youth Soccer League, discussed the financial challenges of launching a new league. He emphasized the difficulties faced during the initial year of operations and the necessity of relying on donations to acquire equipment. He also pointed out the financial reporting requirement that could deter new organizations from applying. Mr. Maldonado mentioned that he refrains from seeking assistance from the city due to his ineligibility for federal non-profit status requirements.

The public comment closed at 7:02 PM.

Staff will revise the policy and resolution to align with the preferences of the Council and the requirements of the City.

9. Council Reports
A. City Council Updates and Committee Reports
- Councilmember Hinojosa expressed concerns about the lack of patrolling on Farmersville Blvd. Chief Brock assured Mr. Hinojosa that despite the Police Department being down two positions, they maintain 24/7 patrolling.

Councilmember Boyer thanked the staff for improving city streets, particularly the ADA- compliant curbs. He also expressed gratitude to Code Enforcement for their efforts in addressing graffiti issues. Mr. Boyer inquired about the Federal funds for streetlights.

City Manager Jennifer Gomez stated that once the federal budget is approved and includes that allocation, she will include it in a future agenda item to discuss options for streetlight improvements.

Councilmember Gomez thanked the Public Works staff for installing no parking signs on Freedom Street, emphasizing that it has resolved traffic flow issues. He also informed the Council about his attendance at the League of California Cities, where he networked with other city leaders and noted that Dan Parra, Mayor of Fowler, is the new President of the League of California, Cities.

Mayor Pro Tem Valdovinos expressed concerns regarding the City's Animal Control issues. City Manager Jennifer Gomez stated that she is exploring alternative options for the City, as the current contract with the City of Visalia is no longer adequate.

10. Staff Communications:

City Manager Jennifer Gomez informed the Council that the work on City alleys and Shasta Road will be, completed by the end of October. Additionally, the temporary barriers on the overpass will be removed as of September 26, 2023. Lastly, due to high costs and a lack of communication with contractors, our Public Works department will handle all the concrete work at Roy's Park. Because of the extensive nature of this project, it will temporarily take precedence over other duties within the Public Works • department.

Staff Report 7C
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jay Brock, Chief of Police
DATE: October 9, 2023
SUBJECT: Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) use by City Personnel RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Authorize the personnel of the City to operate Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) owned by the City in accordance with established policies and procedures.

BACKGROUND:

As previously presented to Council, the Farmersville Police Department has purchased (2) two (UAS) "Drones" to assist the department with investigations, large scale events, and crimes in progress. Both assigned pilots have been through approved law enforcement training courses and are properly licensed through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

DISCUSSION:

The City needs to properly ensure all its operations and equipment used in the operations of its different departments. The City is self-insured through its membership in the Joint Power Authority, Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority (CSJVRMA). For the City to obtain proper liability insurance for the use of the UAS, the City must comply with the CSJVRMA's Memorandum of Coverage (MOC) for pooled liability coverage which requires the operation of the UAS by the City personnel to be approved by the agency's governing body. All other requirements of the MOC have already been met.

For reference, the section of the MOC regarding UAS operations and compliance is as follows:

POOLED LIAIBLITY PROGRAM MOC

SECTION VI - EXCLUSIONS
(32) Any claim arising out of the ownership, operation, use, maintenance, or entrustment to others of an Unmanned Aircraft System. However, this exclusion shall not apply if all of the following conditions are met with respect to any use or operation of an Unmanned Aireraft System which gives rise to a claim:
(a) The Unmanned Aircraft System is operated in compliance with applicable Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules and regulations, including as ecessary under a proper and valid Certificate of Authorization (COA), Remot ilot Certificate obtained from the FAA, or any other required licens authorization, or certification under any Federal, state, or local rule or regulation. (b) The operation of the Unmanned Aircraft System by an employee of the member was approved, prior to operation, by a member employee or official, which employee or official was acting in a management or supervisorial rol when approving the operation of the Unmanned Aircraft System (c) The operation of the Unmanned Aircraft System is in the course of legitimate activity, which was approved by a member employee or official, which employee or official was acting in a management or supervisorial role when approving the operation of the Unmanned Aircraft System.
(d) If necessary, the appropriate agency of the member has properly secured a search warrant prior to the operation of the Unmanned Aircratt System. (e) " The governing body of the Covered Party approved use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems.

This staff report and resulting minute orders are intended to document the verbal agreement and direction that the City staff has already received from the City Council to operate UAS for legitimate City purposes and thereby be compliant with the MOC (part "e") for UAS liability coverage.

COORDINATION & REVIEW:

City Finance and Administration have been provided with the information for review.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No negative fiscal impact is foreseen, however, failure to obtain liability insurance could expose the city to substantial future risk.
• •
CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the Council declare that the use of UAS for legitimate City operations are authorized and thereby eligible to secure liability coverage needed through the CSJVRMA.

TASKS TO BE PERFORMED
Proposed Scope of Work
Task I: Construction Management / Reservices
The Scope of Services for this task are thoroughly covered in the Typical Approach - Construction Management and Inspection section of the proposal. That section of the proposal also delineates our understanding of the City staff responsibilities vs. our 4Creeks staff responsibilities. Under this task we will perform all of the services discussed in the Typical Approach and as discussed in the services requested under the City's RFP. Mr. Chris Crawford, PE, will be the primary RE performing the day to day CM/RE services for the City of Farmersville under this task. Mr. lan Williams, PE, will be the assistant CM/RE for the project.

Task 2: Construction Inspection and Labor Compliance Monitoring NV5 will provide construction inspection and labor compliance services for this project. 4Creeks and NV5 recently teamed together on the Akers & 198 Interchange Project and the City of Exeter Visalia Road project and have had great success working as a team. The below tasks are broken down into pre-construction, construction and post-construction phases.

PRE-CONSTRUCTION PHASE: Inspect Project Site and Obtain Pre-Construction Photos/Videos Objectives: Document existing site conditions prior to construction Task Description: Before construction begins, the existing site conditions will be photographed and recorded.

This record of existing conditions is essential to enforce the Contractor's responsibility to protect private property, City facilities and third-party property/utilities. Key items to document for this project include the following:

Private property landscaping and access points.

Third party utilities including overhead and underground lines, vaults, boxes and valve covers.

Existing pavement conditions within the project sire and adjacent to the project site.

Pedestrian walkways and crossings within the project site and adjacent to the project site This inspection is also key to proactively identifying any discrepancies between the site conditions and the project plans.

Work Products:

Pre-Construction photos
Site inspection findings
Meetings: Upon request, we will meet with the City staff to review our findings from the Pre-Construction Inspection activity.

CONSTRUCTION PHASE: Field Inspection and Daily Reporting Objectives:
• Oversee traffic handling operations to verify that the work zone is safe and convenient for the travelling public.
• Oversee the Contractor's operations to verify that the site is safe for workers and the public. • Inspect the materials and methods used to verify quality of the completed work. • Collect material certification documentation for all incorporated materials. •
• Maintain a record of thé contractor's operations for schedule review and risk mitigation. • Document labor classifications and names to support labor compliance efforts. • Measure the quantity of completed work to support payment activities. • Oversee all permit compliance activities during construction.

Task Description: As requested in the REP, the project site will be inspected daily. Our Inspector will complete a daily inspection report containing the following information:
• i Any traffic handling and safety observations
• Description of the work performed that day with location, time and weather information • Quality observations or concerns

Task Description: The Resident Engineer and Inspector will walk inspect the full length of the project to document any unfinished, damaged or non-compliant work. The findings of this inspection will be documented in a project punch-list which will be formally transmitted to Contractor. Caltrans and City staff will be included in the punchlist inspection walk as needed and preferred by the agencies. The project site will be re-inspected as needed until all punch-list item work has been completed. Once the RE belleves the project is fully completed we will coordinate a walk-through with the City, Caltrans, the designer, and the contractor to accept the project. We will review completed punch-list work during this walk-through and if no other deficiencies or omissions are noted. We will recommend acceptance of the completed project.

Work Products:
• Punch list for work to be completed

Objectives: Verify that the Contractor and Subcontractors comply with all labor compliance and equal employment opportunity (EEO) requirements.

Task Description: Our Labor Compliance Officer, in coordination with the RE, will verify that all certified payrolls are received for Prime and Subcontractors. The Certified Payroll records will be reviewed to confirm that all labor classifications are properly compensated according to state and federal wage requirements, whichever governs. We will also verify that the proper ratio of apprentices are staffed on the project. Daily reporting of workers names, labor classifications and hours worked will be compared to Certified Payroll Records to confirm they match. We will conduct monthly employee interviews on Form CEM-2504, "Employee Interview: Labor Compliance/EEO", to verify that workers are being compensated according to their designated labor classification. Finally, we will confirm that all required labor law posters and information are located on the job site.

Work Products:

• Prepare and submit inspection reports.

RFP Clarifications and Exceptions
We will perform all the services listed in Section II. Scope of Services, Part A. Consultant's Responsibilities of the City's RFP except where modifications are noted in this section.

1. Site Safety - Item 17 of the City RFP states, "The CM/RE shall be responsible for overall project safety compliance for worker safety and public safety on site and for traffic safety traveling through the site." According to the construction contract documents this is the responsibility of the contractor not the CM/RE. As the CM/RE we will inspect for these issues and notify the contractor of any deficiencies that are identified but the contractor is responsible for overall site safety.

2. Sole Source Inspection and Testing - There did not appear to be any materials on this project that required sole source inspection or testing so we have not included sole source inspection and testing in this proposal to save the City money.

Staff Report 8B
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jennifer Gomez, City Manager
DATE: October 9, 2023
SUBJECT: Authorization to Reject All Bids and Re-advertise the Farmersville 198 Gateway Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the City Council reject all bids for the Farmersville 198 Gateway Project and authorize staff to readvertise the project.

BACKGROUND and DISCUSSION:

In accordance with Council action, bids were solicited and opened on September 27, 2023, for the Farmersville 198 Gateway Project. A total of two bids were received and while reviewing the proposals, a discrepancy was discovered in the City's Request for Proposals that would have impacted the bid amounts. These bids should therefore be rejected. With Council approval, staff will make corrections to the bid documents and readvertise the project.

In regard to the timing of the project, rebidding will cause a delay which could mean the City will not meet the grant deadline. Therefore, Caltrans has already been contacted and notified of our need to rebid and for an extension to complete the project. Based on initial discussions, the City anticipates an extension to the grant deadline will be approved by Caltrans.

To minimize the delays, staff requests Council's approval to reject the bids and readvertise as soon as possible.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This project is funded by the Clean California Grant.

CITY OF

CITY OF FARMERSVILLE //IN

FARMERSVILLE

ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT / FINANCE
October 9, 2023
FINANCE UPDATE: FY 2023 - FOURTH QUARTER
THE END OF FISCAL YEAR 2022-23
This report is the update for the City's financial status through June 30, 2023; the end of the fourth quarter and the entire 2022-23 fiscal year (FY 2023). The audit process for the end of Fiscal year 2023 is now underway but is not yet complete. Therefore, this report will primarily touch on where the City ended the prior year (audited results will be presented with the financial statements with our auditors later this winter) and some updates on budget for FY 2023-24.

REVENUE UPDATE
Overall revenue performance was down in FY 2023 from the prior year. Despite rumblings of recessions and opposing views of a strong growth economy, actual performance was neither one extreme or the other but a mixed result somewhere in the middle. Missing the target on sales tax revenue was partially offset by better-than-expected property taxes and vehicle license fee revenues (as seen in the table below). Unfortunately, the warning from the prior year report of a "difficult near-term with future revenues likely to slow down or decline while prices will remain elevated or continue to increase" rang eerily true.

All told, the City's General Fund ended up with expenses exceeding revenues by just over $600,000. This was absorbed by the City's cash on hand that was conservatively managed as a precaution because of this possibility. This prevented any negative impacts to City operations and left the reserves intact for potential future emergencies.

First, the discussion of revenues: the table below is the update for the major General Fund revenue sources for the City through the end of FY 2023 compared to budget for FY 2023 and FY 2024:

Major Revenue FY 2023 Budget FYE 2023 Actual Budget Percent FY 2024 Budget Sales Tax 1,350,000 1,200,072 89% 1,270,000
Measure U Tax 770,000 717,920 93% 770,000
Measure P Tax 770,000 717,212 93% 770,000
Vehicle License
Fees 1,164,200 1,164,200 100% 1,187,500
Property Tax 465,000 486,805 105% 465,000
Franchise Fees 182,512 179,673 98% 203,250
Total 4,701,712 | 4,465,882 95% 4,665,750
Sales Tax did not perform as well
this year and the City ended up SALES TAX REVENUE FY 22 VS. FY 23 lower than where it projected to be 400,000.00
350,000.00
at mid-year. Performance was
300,000.00
strong through December, and it 250,000.00
appeared that growth may 200,000.00
continue. However, a much 150,000.00
weaker second half of the year 100,000.00
50,000.00
made the City end with an actual
combined sales tax revenue of only
$2,635,204 (92% of the revised NOVEMBER DECEMBER JANUARY FEBRUARY budget amount). This is less than
the prior year actual amount by - FY22 - FY23
almost exactly $250,000. There
are a number of reasons for this but the most impactful variables were a steeper than anticipated decline in gas prices January through June and a decline in cannabis related sales taxes due to substantially increased local market-share shifting away from Farmersville. Essentially, Farmersville remains dependent upon volatile oil market performance and local cannabis sales for most of its revenue. Staff anticipated this mixed result as a high probability due to the volatility in the local economy and global securities markets recently and conservatively held on to carryover funds from the prior year to offset these losses.

Vehicle License Fees: This funding sources is property tax that was swapped by the State with School District funding in the 1990s and has remained that way to date. The budget for FY 2023 was revised slightly up to $1,164,200 (anticipating steady growth at about 4%). This source is impacted by vehicle and property sales trends but overall is stable and predictable.

Property Tax received for FY 2023 ended favorably, growing more than anticipated. There is little development within the City currently, but some change to values contribute to this revenue amount some. The budget for all property tax categories was $465,000 but the City received $21,805 (about 5%) more than budgeted for the period. Staff recommends encouraging more development to expand this important and stable tax revenue source for increased stability in budgeting for essential services. Decreasing the City's dependence upon sales tax and cannabis business tax is a very important strategic revenue objective for the future success of the City.

Franchise Fees account for less than 5% of the General Fund major revenues but the income has been steadily increasing for the last several years but that streak came to an end this year. Only 98%, or $179,673, of budget for FY 2023 was received (down from $182,888 in the prior year).

This is out of the control of the City for the most part - no miscalculations are suspected, this could simply be a change in consumer purchasing patterns. This will be watched closely for future trends.

OTHER REVENUE:

Cannabis Business Tax is in its third
full year of bringing in revenue and Measure Q Quarterly Tax Payments currently in a two-year decline. Each 400,000.00
quarter, since March 2021 (9 in total) 350,000.00
has brought in less revenue than the one 300,000.00
prior. The losses are not equal but 250,000.00
average to just over 6% each quarter. As
200,000.00
a result, the City has budgeted $900,000
150,000.00
in revenue for FY 2024 following this
100,000.00
trend. However, first quarter income
50,000.00
shows that the City is barely on track to

0.00 bring in $800,000 in FY 2024 and so the
May-19 Dec-19 Jun-20 Jan-21 Jul-21 Feb-22 Aug-22 Mar-23 Oct-23 projection may need to be revised. It is
unclear how far the trend is from the bottom, but it is clear that the decline continues and has been accelerating. Future budgeting will need to reduce its expectations for this revenue source. More detail is available in the Measure Q Annual Report and the Audited Financial Statements, when completed
ARPA Allocation or American Rescue Plan Act funds also supplemented and assisted the City.

ARPA is a restricted funding source but is significant in size to help the City meet COVID related expenses. ARPA funds were allocated to Farmersville in the amount of $2,560,386 and both portions have now been received (as of July 2022). These funds will be used to strengthen water infrastructure, offset first responder costs, and other qualified uses in the coming months.

EXPENSE UPDATE
Expenditure data for FY 2023 is listed below by department as of 6/30/2023. These summary amounts are briefly described below to illustrate the variance amounts. Fiscal Year 2023 has still not been completely closed out through the audit process so some of these figures may change.

Here are the highlights for where the City stands at the end of FY 2023:

Overall, the City was over budget by spending $6,833,951 in General Fund Revenue while only bringing in $6,233,055 for the same period. Compared to budget this means that Revenue was

3.5% lower than budget while expenses were 9.7% over budget. This has many causes but primary among them are large one-time expenses in the police department for salary pay-outs related to retirements and resignations, increased fire department spending, reactionary engineering expenses related to community projects and development needs, as well as spiking insurance costs. Cost increases were expected across the board, but this is also reflective of the heavy workload of the City currently. All departments are responding to a high number of needs and with rising costs, these temporary overruns are to be expected.

401 CITY COUNCIL: This budget functioned appropriately for the year using just about 85% of the budget. It can fluctuate a great deal depending upon the activities of the City Councilmembers during the year.
404 ADMINISTRATION: This department is unique in that there is significant revenue in it to offset expenses unlike other operational departments. This year the department was over-budget mostly because of high-level of debt pre-payment. City staff was taking advantage of a short-term situation that will benefit the City for years to come. This one time increase in costs will be dramatically reduced in the next year. This department was helped by revenues over-performing by nearly 20% (about $50,000).
405 MEMBERSHIPS: There were slightly more membership costs than anticipated this year. The budget was increased FY 2022 and kept level for FY 2023, accordingly because the City anticipates these increased dues in some associations in coming years. 406 ADMINISTRATIVE OVERHEAD: There are many factors in this department because there are so many expenses that charge here. Overall, the department was significantly over budget (over by more than 28%). The cost of liability insurance is charged to this department and is the largest and fastest growing expense ($370,224) and cost slightly more than anticipated. However, there is also over $45,000 in expense related to one-time "flood" expenses that will be reimbursed by FEMA/CalOES in a future year. This cost accounts for 12% of the cost (or nearly half of the overbudget amount). Therefore, revenues will be more in the coming year when the reimbursement is received.

407 SPONSORSHIPS: The City Council directed that $6,775 (up from $5,600 in FY 2022) of the • $12,000 budget be spent this year. City Council budgeted $12,000 for FY 2023 and FY 2024. 411 POLICE: This department would have stayed within budget had it not been for over $170,000 in one-time pay-outs due to retirements and resignations of long-tenured, high-paid employees that were due accrued leave time when they left. Revenue exceeded budget expectations by about $57,000 (or 21%) with one-time revenues which helped to offset one-time spending increases at the same time.
414 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: This department finished at 135% of budget for the year as a net total. This is because revenues driven by development activity and code enforcement were up significantly at 245% of budget expectations and expenses were at 145% of budget. This is a huge change from prior years but also highlights the reactive nature of this department. Revenues are driven by decisions to develop, outside of City control. Expenses are also related to projects and . are partially out the control of the City too. In this case, City staff found more efficient ways to work and procure needed services and saved budget dollars as a result that will have full impact in future years. Staff expects these trends to continue to offset these expenses in the future with the new development fees and structures in place and eventually normalize. 415 CODE ENFORCEMENT: Costs are under budget for the period with a full as this department transitions once again with the hiring of new officers. Revenues exceed expectations and spending was less than budget which results in a favorable performance. This department will even out in the future as activities and costs and normalized over time. 420 FIRE: This department structure changed substantially in FY 2023 with the removal of any out-of-county strike team revenue and expense moved to fund 72. The department did overspend its budget by nearly $70,000 or about 10%. This was across several categories - everything from benefits and supplies to repairs and fuel. Volunteer expenses were the most over-budget, but it is also reflective of an active department with many needs to get volunteers the equipment and supplies needed to perform on the job.
425 PARKS & GROUND: This budget is just under budget for the year. However, the increased professional expense related to hiring temps and other affiliated expenses to handle short term priority projects charged here and were not anticipated in the normal operations budget. This is a continuing trend from the two prior year and needs to be controlled in the future to prevent ongoing budgetary issues.
426 ANIMAL CONTROL: This department was successfully outsourced to the City of Visalia at a competitive. rate and is likely to keep expenses stable and provide some savings to the General.

Fund each year for many years to come. It is just over budget slightly this year because of delays in billing and this was anticipated from prior year.

ENTERPRISE FUNDS UPDATE
Utility Operations are, after the General Fund, the cost centers of primary concern for the City.

These operations are housed in the enterprise funds and operate more like separate businesses than government. Primarily, this is reflected in how they are funded through user fees rather than taxes and must turn a profit to exist, whereas governments must provide essential services despite the condition of the tax revenues.

The Water Fund is the first major enterprise fund and performed better this year even without any increasing rates this year. Before accounting for depreciation, the fund earned enough to cover all its expenses this year. This is now the third year in a row it has been able to do this which proves, despite collection issues due to emergency orders from the State, the fund is remaining healthy each year. However, once considering the full cost of the enterprise, it is likely to only just break- even.

This will become an ever-increasing complex business type to manage and will have significant challenges ahead, both financially and legally. The operations are under analysis to project new rates going forward currently.

Budget 1,222,267 1,185,834 (36,433)
Actual 1,117,069 1,229,885 112,816,
The Sewer Fund was defined by the construction of the new Wastewater Treatment Plant recently.

Now that the project is complete it will be defined by the requirements to repay the substantial amounts of debt it is carrying. Ongoing operational costs are proving expensive but necessary and will require rate increases to meet both operation needs and debt covenant requirements. The City continued to work in FY 2023 with its advisors to make sure that it meets and exceeds all debt covenant requirements for this new asset as well as evaluating future rates.

As indicated last year, the current estimate is that rates will need to be increased by FY 2025 to avoid technical default. Due to the debt service agreements with USDA and the State, the City must maintain a ratio of 110% of revenue compared to the debt service. This means that the sewer fund must turn a profit of at least 10% each year to meet this requirement for the next 40 years.

Therefore, keeping rates appropriate and current are absolutely essential.

contracted cost increases from the provider. However, more unfunded mandates from the State will continue to push expenses higher and strain this fund potentially very soon. The City is working closely with Mid Valley Disposal to be prepared for the new legal and operational mandates while trying to keep costs reasonable for residents and businesses.

CAPITAL PROJECT UPDATE
The fourth official year with a separate Capital Fund went well and progress has been made to improve this process again for FY 2024. Here is a summary of the spending from the Capital Budget for FY 2023. Spending was substantially lower than planned but this was because projects were delayed or slower than the original budget. Much of these costs therefore, were not saved, but only delayed and pushed off to future years. Many of these costs are anticipated in FY 2024.

Measure Q supports almost all the capital costs in any given year and so is an important measure to look at when it comes to looking back on the years' performance. As previously warned, revenue did not perform as expected, not even reaching the revised-down figure adjusted at mid- year of FY 2023. Additionally, spending was also down, primarily due to delays and the slowing of projects as mentioned in the previous paragraph about the capital budget. Much of Measure Q and the Capital Budget are related and go hand-in-hand.

ECONOMIC UPDATE
The headline news lately is all about what the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will do next to combat inflation and keep the economy balanced. The FOMC has two main targets to keep in line - inflation (target: low) and employment (target: high). Because of all the recent economic impacts, the FOMC had been focused on employment through the pandemic shutdown but has turned to focus on inflation.

The FOMC kept level after raising rates at an historic rate (5.00% to 5.25% target range as of September 2023) displaying the commitment and level of concern that the FOMC is showing for inflation. This has created enormous amounts of volatility for markets across the world.

Borrowing cash for projects and homes has become expensive (by design), and the US dollar is increasing in value dramatically compared to the world, and yet the economy continues to surge ahead.

Despite FOMC action to slow the economy, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE), which is the key inflation measurement used by the FOMC, still shows a significant decrease in October (about 3.9% annual rate) and headed lower as the calendar year closes. This means that despite increased prices, consumers are still buying goods and services but at a slower rate.

Some of the effects of the FOMC actions are felt firsthand in Farmersville with 30-year fixed rate mortgages over 7%. Making housing less affordable will have an impact on demand and supply of homes, and therefore also the economy and inflationary factors as well. California is especially hard hit in this category with many existing homeowners staying put because of substantially lower mortgage rates from refinancing during the pandemic.

The efforts by the FOMC are beginning to work on a broader scale as evidenced by a routine decline month after month now but still not enough to meet the target level desired by the FOMC.

The FOMC needs to slow the economy to bring inflation down but risks creating a recession as a result. A recession is typically measured by two quarters of consecutive negative changes in GDP.

The debate of whether this recession will occur continues to rage with new calls recently expecting increased odds of a recession.

Not all news is grim though which is part of the reason for volatility. Job growth was favorable and remains high currently. As of August 2023, unemployment rates were 3.8% nationally, 4.6% in California, and 9.8% in Tulare County compared to 3.8% nationally, 4.1% in California, and 7.9% in Tulare County in August 2022. Some increases in unemployment will be favorable indicator for inflation coming under control.

Gas Prices have been unexpectedly and especially volatile the last couple of years. FY 2022 was dominated by exceptionally high prices followed by FY 2023 with exceptional low and stable prices. FY 2024 is expected to be higher and prices are already spiking but it remains to be seen if they will persist or follow a more typical pattern of highs and lows seasonally.

So what does this mean for the City?
High inflation, expensive lending rates, and high gas prices are all potentially difficult impacts on residents of Farmersville as well as the City. However, the economic factors at large are still positive although expectations for a recession are now higher than before (especially with the threat of a government shutdown). This could translate to reduced revenue for the City in the future, or at least much slower growth. The City also benefits from increased revenue due to high gas prices but not enough to offset other recessionary impacts.

Recent reports regarding revenue related to the cannabis industry show that the market is entering the business cycle phase typically referred to as "saturation". This means that revenue will likely decline as more and more businesses enter the industry, but the demand for the industry does not rise proportionately. This means that future cannabis business tax is likely to be lower, but it is not known by how much. Additionally, local competition is a major factor for why Farmersville is suffering more than the State average.

As the current health crisis wanes, normal economic factors typical for the fourth quarter holiday shopping season will likely resume but it is uncertain how that will unfold. The City ended FY 2023 in a difficult position, and barring any direct impacts to the cannabis and gasoline retail sectors it is expected to continue growing but at much reduced rate than prior years.

As before, Farmersville will have to navigate a difficult near term with future revenues likely to slow down or decline while prices will remain elevated. The City would be wise to moderate spending and avoid unnecessary financial risks when possible.

NOTEWORTHY NEWS & FUTURE OUTLOOK
Finance staff anticipates uncertainty to dominate the year which will force the City into a conservative position at the time of the mid-year review (sometime in January 2024) until more is known about inflationary and recessionary impacts on Farmersville and the economy as a whole.

As with the key point listed above, prudently monitoring spending and being patient will help the City avoid dangerous financial pitfalls. However, commercial and residential development leading to growth of the tax base will be crucial for the City. Streamlining and expediting approval processes to get tax-generators up and running as soon as possible will be a win-win scenario.

Currently, audit work is underway for Fiscal Year 2022-23. So far; the process is going well, and it is anticipated that the process will be completed on time by December 31, 2023 with the Final Audited Financial Statements delivered to Council for review in January or February 2024.

Staff Report 8E
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jennifer Gomez, City Manager
DATE: October 9, 2023
SUBJECT: Approval of Measure R Supplemental Agreement for Transit Center Project, Bike and Pedestrian Improvements, and HAWK System
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council review the Supplemental Agreement with Tulare County Association of Governments (TAG) for Measure R funding of a portion of the Transit Center project, bike and pedestrian improvements, and a HAWK System and adopt Resolution 2023-044.

BACKGROUND:

On November 7, 2006, the voters of Tulare County approved Measure R, imposing a ½-cent sales tax for transportation within the incorporated and unincorporated area of Tulare County through 2037. The transportation sales tax funds are spent in accordance with the Expenditure Plan that resulted from a joint effort among all the cities and the County of Tulare. The Expenditure Plan reflects the transportation needs of the residents of Tulare County and includes funding for Regional Projects, Local Programs, Transit/Bike/Environmental Programs and Administration.

DISCUSSION:

Self Help Enterprises was awarded $14.5 million for the Los Arroyos Housing and Transportation Improvement Project, which included $3,864,113 for a Transit Center and bike and pedestrian improvements. As part of the grant application, TAG agreed to contribute $910,000 in Measure R funds towards the Transit Center. Additional funding from REAP 2.0 in the amount of $1,800,000 has also been awarded to Self Help Enterprises. A Supplemental Agreement was approved in October 2022 for the Measure R funds, but as these projects have progressed over the last year, it has been determined that additional funds are needed for the Transit Center and the bike/pedestrian improvements.

This Program Supplement supersedes the prior agreement and will fund a portion of the costs for the Farmersville Transit Center, Bike and Pedestrian Improvements, and a HAWK System.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no expected impact to the City other than City staff time and effort for the coordination and reimbursement of the project itself.
