Y Deoutv Citv Clerk, Rila Lozano - First regular council meeting in July is scheduled for 4tr of July, so we won't have it since it's a holiday and City Hall will be closed. City Manager added is a meeting is required, it will be a special meeting.
Y Citv Manaser, Ben Gallegos - Council Member Perez filled in at the Senior Center, while Anita Sanchez was out.
Greystone developer is working to split & purchase property via survey, which may be an additional 120 acres for a second development, and about 140 to 150 possible homes. Working with Cen Cal on their project, they need landscape and concrete. Still going after grants have several grants ongoing. Met with Mario to address the flood area tn front of the school to find a resolution & we looked at other locations that were brought to our attention.
Y Council Member Looez - inquired about the need for a new public works director, since he has been doing good job with positions. Council Member Sablan added, she agreed with Councilmember Lopez. Council Member Jenkins and Valdez stated, Ben's been busy and feel the city needs Ben to be solely the City Manager, he is capable to doing both but if he can work only as the City Manager a 100% of the time, it will allow him to concentrate of business development, other city issues, he hasn't been able to because of the time restrictions of doing both jobs, & council voted 5-0 when his contract was renewed which stated the intent of hiring a Public Works Director. We have a lot of money saved from Ben holding two positions for the past several years. City Manager Ben stated it is not recommended to suggest the has a lot of money or tell the employees, we have all kinds of money with negotiations coming up. We couldn't predict COVID or the financial impacts of the past few years.
Y Council Member Perez - I agree we don't know what is going to happen in the future.
Y Council Member Sablan - asked the Finance Director, "What would you say about the budget? We will never have enough for everything we need or want for the city." Finance Director replied, "I agree, the one thing that scares me the most is the PD Station, with $800,000 on our reseryes being allocated to the new PD station from our general fund, it is the biggest concern. Water and Sewer funding are doing well, & impact fund is frne." Council Member Sablan added, if we hire a new Public Works Director and purchase a new vehicle, there's no turning back.
Y Council Member Valdez - If we have a full-time dedicated City Manager, he can focus on economic development and housing issues, which would bring in additional revenue. * Motion to enter closed session ut 7:50 pm by Council Member Lopez, second by Councit Member Perez, motion passed by 5-0 vote.

MEMORANDUM
Fresno Cou nty Transportation Authority
FROM Mike Leonardo, Executive Director
DATE: luly 20,2022
SUBJECT: Adoption of the Fresno Council of Governments Approved Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan and lmplementing Guidelines
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2O22-O8, adopting the Fresno Council of Governments (COG) approved Expenditure Plan and lmplementing Guidelines BACKGROUND DISCUSSION: On August 7,2079, the Fresno CountyTransportation Authority (FCTA) Board authorized staff to begin the process of seeking to renew Measure C with a target of placing the Measure on the November 2022 ballot. lncluded in this authorization was direction to establish an Executive Committee (EC) and a TechnicalWorking Group (TWG)to develop a draft expenditure plan for presentation to the FCTA Board for final approval.
Staff began contacting the various public and private sector organizations to ask for volunteers to join these two committees. With rare exception, staff did not contact specific individuals but worked though agencies and organizations to identify who would serve on the two committees. ln March of 2O2O, the COVID epidemic hit the United States. Threat of exposure precluded FCTA and Fresno Council of Governments (Fresno COG) staff from scheduling meetings of these committees for approximately 11" months. During that time period society adapted to meeting in a virtual environment and as a result, the first meetings of these two groups were held virtually in January and February of 2O2L.
Simultaneous with this effort, the Fresno COG was in the process of updating and adopting their Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). The RTP/SCS is the 20-year transportation planning document for Fresno County, while Measure C is part of how the RTP/SCS plan is implemented. As a result, the RTP/SCS became the framework for Measure C renewal.
The two committees spent much of their early meetings discussing membership and listening to background information about the Original Measure C adopted in 1986, the Measure C Extension adopted in 2006, and developing guiding principles for a potential third measure (MC3). Membership and process discussions consumed much of the committees' time in the initial months, particularly within the EC.
Fresno COG held a number of community meetings where the RTP/SCS was discussed, and public input sought over a year's time. Measure C staff and consultants participated in these RTP meetings with discussions about what the public viewed as the highest priorities for a renewed Measure C.
FCTA Special Board Meeting
July 2O,2022
ln March of 2027, FCTA staff commissioned a public opinion pollto determine what County residents thought were the most pressing transportation issues, and whether or not they would support a second extension of Measure C. The results of that poll were shared with the FCTA Board and the two committees. The polling indicated very high support for renewing Measure C(8O%1, and that fixing local roads was clearly the highest priority, also at 80%.
ln October 2O2I, FCTA conducted a series of in-person and online public forums specific to Measure C renewal. Staff made short presentations while the majority of the time was spent listening to members of the public discuss what they thought were the highest priorities for a third Measure C. Simultaneously, FCTA also launched an online survey for the purpose of gathering similar data. To date staff has received 2,804 responses with very simila r results. FCTA staff and consultants also conducted in person door to door contacts with residents in Cantua Creek, Lenare, Tranquility, Orange Cove, Parlier, Kerman, Mendota, Caruthers, Coalinga, Del Rey, Five Points, Huron, Sanger, Kingsburg, and San Joaquin. Approximately 1,070 surveys were completed by Spanish speakers. The public meetings, online surveys, and in-person contacts all conveyed the same basic messages as the polling; fixing roads was the number one priority.
Beginning with the needs assessment performed by Fresno COG through the RTP/SCS process, staff began drafting alternative proposals for Measure C 3 funding. Four alternatives were initially presented to the TWG.
Of these four, two had a significant level of support within the TWG. These two alternatives were later refined by the TWG.
During this process FCTA and Fresno COG staff also met with representatives from Fresno County, the City of Fresno and the City of Clovis to discuss the framework of the preferred alternatives the TWG was considering.
While by no means diminishing the importance of the smallcities, it was felt that Fresno, Clovis, and Fresno County support of a proposed plan was critical in order to obtain its eventual endorsement by both the TWG and EC. Based upon these meetings, modifications were made to the preferred alternative then being considered by the TWG. These modifications increased the Transit and Local Control subprograms.
Specifically, the increase in the Local Control Program was intended to allow each agency to best tailor their Measure C expenditures to their unique and specific needs. This flexibility was especially critical for the City of Fresno who wanted to use some of their LocalControl Program money to further increase funds dedicated to public transit.
The TWG considered and approved this allocation plan by a substantial majority. This approved plan was then sent to the EC for their consideration.
The EC also considered and approved the plan as submitted by the TWG. During this consideration and approval process, a second series of public meetings were conducted to once again listen to people's concerns about transportation in Fresno County. A second opinion poll was also conducted resulting in nearly identical results from the first poll.
Once the EC adopted the draft allocation plan, staff used the proposed allocation plan as adopted by the EC and TWG, to develop a detailed draft Expenditure Plan and a set of lmplementing Guidelines. The Expenditure Plan was posted for public review on May 27, 2022, and the lmplementing Guidelines were posted about a week later. Staff received a number of written and verbal comments on the plan and guidelines. Many of the suggested revisions were incorporated while some were not. Comments not included in the plan tended to be in conflict with the allocation plan adopted by the EC and TWG. The public comment period closed on June -27,2022 and a final draft revision of the draft plan and guidelines was posted on June 29,2022.
FCTA Special Board Meeting
July 20,2022
The plan was to be presented to the Fresno Council of Governments Policy Board for their approval, which was then to be followed by presentation to the FCTA Board for their proposed adoption. Fresno COG was scheduled to consider the plan on June 30,2022 with FCTA following on July 20. The June 30, 2022 meeting of Fresno COG was ultimately cancelled due to technical difficulties and was rescheduled for July 7,2022.
CITY OF FRESNO PROPOSAL
ln mid-June, FCTA and Fresno COG staff made a presentation to the Fresno City Council on the EC/TWG approved plan. Shortly after that presentation, staff was made aware that the City of Fresno would not support the EC/TWG Plan as currently written. Through a series of meetings, the last one held on the morning of June 30,2022 - a few hours before Fresno COG was to consider adoption of the EC/TWG plan - FCTA and Fresno COG staff agreed that the substantially revised proposal submitted by the City (that morning) had merit as it closely followed the EC/TWG plan with a few minor revisions. These revisions included:
1. Allowing sidewalk repairs to be funded through the Local Neighborhood and Street Repair and Maintenance Program (Street Repair Program)
2. Revising the distribution of these street repairs funds from 75% population - 25% road miles to 80% -- 20% (later revise d to 7 8% -- 22%l
3. Revise the distribution of the Local Control Program funds to 100% population based
4. Establish an annual 5100,000 minimum allocation within the Street Repair Program for each of the 16 agencies in Fresno County
5. Change a few of the projects included in the City of Fresno's portion of the Tier 1 Major Roads and Highway Program
6. Limit Urban Transit Oriented Development (TOD) funding to certain high-density and transit corridor requirements
7. lnclude local hiring preference language
The end result of these changes was that each of the 15 cities in Fresno County would get slightly more funding (approximately 5% to 2O% with the smallest cities experiencing the largest percentage increase) while Fresno County would receive about StgZ million less over the life of the Measure.
After considerable public and Board discussion, the Fresno COG Policy Board approved the EC/TWG plan as modified by the City of Fresno.
On July 12,2022, the Fresno County Board of Supervisors also considered the plan adopted by Fresno COG.
All Board members expressed concern with the lower Fresno County allocation and with the last-minute changes requested by the City of Fresno; however, after much discussion the Board adopted the plan as previously approved by Fresno COG.
APPROVED PIAN
With these approvals in place, it is now incumbent on the FCTA Board to consider adoption of the plan approved by the Fresno COG Policy Board. A full copy of both the Expenditure Plan and lmplementing Guidelines are included in this Board package. ln summary, the approved plan provides total projected revenue over 30 years of $5,835,044,756 or approximately $7 Billion.

CONCTUSION:
The overall transportation needs in Fresno County exceed the revenues that can be generated through a % cent sales tax. However, this plan makes substantial progress towards meeting a high percentage of these needs. Specifically, this plan will:
Allow the entire county to fix potholes and repair streets, reaching an average Pavement Condition lndex of 70, which is within the "Good" category, thus reducing future maintenance costs, decreasing user costs, improving safety for vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians, and improving air quality Dedicates funds to disadvantaged communities and areas, including a S100,000 minimum allocation, which will help the smaller cities in the County, and dedication of no less than 30% of the street repair funds to disadvantaged areas
Provides over 51 billion in Local Control sub program funding so that each agency can best meet their transportation needs. This could include additional road repairs, enhanced transit funding, additional Active transportation projects, or any other eligible transportation facility or service Provides over 5800 million to the three transit agencies in Fresno County; an increase of 180% over the current transit allocation
ln conjunction with other identified funding sources, meets 95% of the overall active transportation need established through lhe 2O22 RTP/SCS process
Helps address safety issues and congestion choke points on the urban and rural highways and major road systems
Dedicates St++ million specifically for environmental enhancements beyond those specifically included in the other subprograms
Collectively will improve pavement, improve safety, reduce congestion, improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, consistent with the RTP/SCS This plan will be beneficial for Fresno County as a whole and good for each and every city within Fresno County.

INTRODUCTION
The Fresno County Measure C Renewal
Expenditure Plan was prepared to:
Guide the expenditure of slightly more
thdn $6.84 billion in tronsportation
funds generoted through continuotion of
F resn o Co u nty's ho lf-ce nt tra n s po rtoti on
so/es tox over the next 30 yeors,
if opproved by voters in the
N ove m be r 2 O22 e I ection.
Fresno County's current Measure C Program,
voter approved in 2006, expiresinlrne202T.
This Renewal Expenditure Plan, developed
by an Executive Committee and a Technical
Working Group (TWG) consisting of
approximate 80 individuals representing
diverse community interests (as identified
in Table I of this Plan), and local, state and
regional agencies, will address major local
and regional transportation needs in Fresno
County through theYear 2057.
Through a series of public meetings, two public
opinion polls, and thousands of online and inperson surveys, the Executive Committee and TWG thoroughly considered needs identified
by community residents during development
of the Plan. To ensure the Plan addressed
transportation needs of all county residents,
the Committees completed the following tasks:
. Reviewed Measure programs recently passed
in other counties (best practices review).
. Listened to presentations by air quality and
transportation advocates and agencies.
. Considered recommendations
of transportation professionals.
. Heard innovative ideas related to
new technologies in transportation.
. Developed Expenditure
Plan Goals and Objectives.
. Considered public input.
. Reviewed and considered the entire
County's transportation needs by category.
4 OVERVIEW

TOTAL
PUBLIC
ENGAGEMENT
Public engagement activities for the Measure
C Renewal Expenditure Plan began with the
formation of the Executive Committee and
TWG in February of 202I. Over S0local leaders
volunteered to participate as representatives of
diverse sectors of Fresno County from both urban
and rural communities. These leaders brought
unique perspectives from various sectors of our
community including healthcare, education, local
government, emergency services, transportation
planning and facilities experts, environmental
organizations, public works, law enforcement,
fi re and paramedic, agriculture, community based
organizations, and more. Over the 16-month
Measure C Renewal Process period, a total of 37
meetings were held between these two committees
with the focus on identifying and evaluating
transportation needs throughout Fresno County.
In addition to these two committees, community
engagement remained a keyfocus to gain clarity
and common ground. To that end, 10,000 Fresno
County residents participated in community
polling aud uul.r'cacl via l"he fulluwing urel.hutls:
In total, fourteen (14) community
meetings were held in both rural and
urban settings. Additionally, with COVID
concerns still prevalent, an Online Public
survey was utilized that garnered 2,804
total survey respondents, as well as 2,000
additional comments.
The online survey also focused on rural and
unincorporated areas by employing a doorto-door campaign. That effort produced 1,070 mostly Spanish respondents in the following
communities: Cantua Creek, Lenare, Tranquility,
Orange Cove, Parlier, Kerman, Mendota,
Caruthers, Coalinga, Del Rey, Five Points,
Huron, Sanger, Kingsburg, and San |oaquin.

identified residents' highest transportation
priorities. The Measure C Renewal Plan effort
was guided by development of the Fresno COG
2022 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable
Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). The RTP/
SCS is intended to guide transportation and
land use decisions that will improve our
quality of life, air quality, mobility and make
communities more cohesive. The RTP/SCS is
updated every four years and has a robust outreach
and stakeholder involvement process including
numerous committee meetings, public workshops
and hearings, public surveys and polling, and
other engagement opportunities. The MP/SCS
integrates all modes of transportation along with
land use, housing, environmental issues, reduction
ofvehicle miles travelled, and other related issues.
The RTP/SCS is one of the critical building blocks
that has helped guide development of the2022
Measure C Renewal effort and identi$' needs and
funding requirements.
GOALS AND
GUIDING
PRINCIPLES
Considering the public engagement activities
conducted over the past 16 months, the
Executive Committee and TWG adopted the
following set of goals and objectives to help
guide development of this Expenditure Plan:
Goal #1
Equitable mobility and accessibility for all
within and across the network of streets,
highways, transit, bicycle and pedestrian
routes and facilities.
OBJECTIVES
. Encourage equitable participation by
communities in the Measure C planning
and implementation process.
. Support the equitable distribution of benefits
and burdens of transportation projects.
. Support the improvement and expansion of
accessible transportation options to serve
the needs of residents, especially those who
have historically faced disproportionate
transportation burdens, including seniors
and people with disabilities.
Goal #2
Vibrant communities that are accessible
by sustainable transportation options.
OBJECTIVES
. Encourage alternatives to single occupancy
vehicles that reduce vehicle miles travelled
(VMT) and greenhouse gas emissions.
. Support investment in and promotion of active
transportation and transit to improve public
health and mobility, especially in historically
underinvested areas.
. Support transportation projects that
support transit-oriented development.
I
. Support eforts to improve air quality and
minimize pollutants from transportation.
Goal #3
A safe, dependable, well-maintained, efficient,
cost effective, and climate-resilient multimodal
transportation network.
OBJECTIVES
. Encourage on-going maintenance and
repair of the existing infrastructure.
. Support investment in multimodal safety
measures to reduce traffic fatalities and
injuries throughout the region.
. Support improvements in travel connections
to create an integrated, accessible, and
seamless transportation network.
. Avoid congestion through smart management
of existing transportation facilities.
. Add capacity only after other options have
been considered and determined to be
infeasible, impractical or ineffective.
. Maximize the cost-effectiveness
of transportation improvements.
. Maximize available funding and support
new investments that are targeted, effective,
and financially sound.
. Encourage investments that increase the
system's resilience to extreme weather events,
natural disasters, subsidence, and pandemics.
. Support the preservation and maintenance
of existing multimodal transportation assets
in a state ofgood repair.
. Utilize Measure funding to leverage other
local, state, and federal funds, including
competitive grant programs.
. Ensure that growth does not adversely
impact existing facilities.
Goal #4
A transportation network that supports a
sustainable and vibrant economy.
OBJECTIVES
. Support local and regional economic
development by leveraging planning and
transportation funds that foster public and
private investment.
. Provide transportation mobility options
necessary to conduct essential daily activities
and support economic growth and prosperity.
. Support modern regional aviation.
. Embrace cutting edge and fiscally responsible
transportation and new technologies that serve
to interconnect systems and that make travel
more efficient and cost effective.
. Support efficient, dependable, resilient,
and sustainable goods movement.
9 Goal #5
A region embracing clean transportation,
technology, and innovation.
OBJECTIVES
. Support innovative mobility solutions that
are accessible, affordable, reduce greenhouse
gas emissions, and improve air quality.
. Utilize current and emerging technologies
to better manage transportation systems
and services.
. Improve predictability and reliability
of transportation facilities and services.
. Embrace new and emerging intelligent
transportation system (ITS) projects
and programs.
Goal #6
A high level of transparency, performance
review and accountability.
OBJECTIVES
. Provide for continuous collection of
transportation and other related data
from available sources.
. Incorporate transportation performance
measures, whenever possible.
. Encourage innovation with a goal of providing
cost effective transportation solutions.
Guided bythe Executive Committee and TWG,
stafffurther distilled these goals and objectives
into five guiding principles that were then used
to guide the development of the Allocation Plan:
Stewardship
. Fix it First.
. County-wide Pavement Management Plan.
. Oversight and Performance Measures, and
Equity-"No Neighborhood Left Behindl'
Equity
. Investment in active transportation and
public transit to improve health and mobility
throughout the County including historically
underinvested areas.
. Improve air quality throughout the County,
especially in historically disadvantaged areas.
. Ensure all areas of the Countyhave their
road repair needs addressed with emphasis
on areas not previously addressed-
"No Neighborhood Left Behindi'
. Provide local jobs and access
to training opportunities.
. Supplemental road repair funds
fur vely luw-iucuttrc aleas.
. Expand new and innovative public
transit services and solutions.
Su sto i n o b i I ity o n d Resources
Conservotion
. Maintaining and operating transportation
facilities are much less resource intensive
than rebuilding.
10 . Focus on maximizing the safety and
efrciency of the transportation systems,
not on system expansion.
. Roads, highways, and their adjacent
sidewalks are necessary for every type
of transportation-cars, trucks, buses,
bicycles, and pedestrians.
. Electric vehicles will still
rely on roads and highways.
. Provide for Complete Streets and roads that
accommodate vehicles, bikes, public transit
and pedestrians.
Air Quolity and Climote Resiliency
. All projects require environmental
review and must address air quality and
greenhouse gas emission reductions.
. Well-maintained pavements reduce
particulate matter PM10 and PM2.5,
which are the primary pollutants
referenced in the most recent air
quality study.
. Congestion reduction and avoidance through
better operations reduces tailpipe emissions
of pollutants, diesel exhaust particular matter
and greenhouse gas emissions.
. Reduce vehicle miles travelled (VMT)
through Public Transit, Active Transportation,
and road and highway projects.
. Harden transportation facilities to increase
systems' resiliency to extreme weather events.
. Expand new and innovative public
transit services and solutions.
Flexibility
. Expanded Local Needs program allows
real time and long-term flexibilityallows agencies to best address their current transportation needs and changing future
needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
. Allows each agency to tailor the
program to their specific needs.
. Allows agencies to maximize the
use of matching fund programs.
. The amendment process contained within
the current measure and to be continued
in this measure allows adaptability.
. l5-year publicly driven process to evaluate
the success or shortcomings of the Measure
Renewal with a process to change or adapt,
as necessary.
. In depth review of performance measures
every 5 years by agency staffand the Citizen
Oversight Committee (COC) with the
ability to amend the Measure C Renewal
Expenditure Plan if key indicators are not met.
Meeting the needs of Fresno County residents
requires leveraging State and federal investments
with local resources. Even with a new Measure C
here will not be enough funding available to
address almost $f0 billion in transportation
needs. The Measure C Extension will generate
more than $6.84 billion over the next 30 years,
far short ofthe overall need, therefore, leveraging
additional federal and State funding, beyond
what the region expects, is critical.
11 succEss oF
THE CURRENT
MEASURE C
PROGRAM
Many changes to the existing transportation
system have occurred since voters first approved
Measure C in 1986 and again in 2006. The
current Measure C Program has provided
funding to a variety of transportation projects
and services including bike, pedestrian and
trail projects, public transit improvements,
and other transportation programs and
services. New and improved regional and
local streets and highways are also reflected
in the current Measure C and have been or
will be constructed by2027 improving travel
flow, increasing safety, and reducing severe
congestion. These improvements include :
. State Route (SR) al: AuxiliaryLaneTulare to "O" Street . SR 99: North to Cedar Avenues
. SR 99: Monterey Bridge
. SR 180 East: Clovis to Temperance Avenues
. SR 180: Brawley to Hughes/West Avenues

. Funding for public transit services including
Fresno Area Express (FAX), Clovis Transit, &
the Fresuo County Rural Transit Agency
. Improvements to local streets and
roads, bikeway and trails systems,
and pedestrian facilities
12 Promises Made and Promises Kept of the
1986 and 2006 Measure C programs are
evident by the overwhelming voter approval
in Fresno County. In addition to the vast array
of transportation improvements provided
by these two Measures, they have given
Fresno County the opportunity to compete
successfully for additional State and Federal
transportation funding.
TheAuthority, Fresno COG, the 16local agencies
and the three transit agencies have all successfully
leveraged more than $f billion additional dollars
from Sacramento andWashin$on D.C Extending
Measure C will continue to provide local funds
under local control, in order to leverage and direct
additional state and federal funding to the County.
Annual Audit of
Measure Programs
Current Measure C expenditures and accounts of
the local agencies and theAuthorityare audited
on an annual basis by an independent audit firm
retained by the Authority. Over the past 34 years,
audit results have indicated that the Measure C
Program has been implemented, and proceeds
expended, in accordance with the Measure C
Expenditure Plan and enabling legislation.
That practice will continue with this Measure C
Renewal Program. Further, through the Citizens
Oversight Committee and the Authoriry additional
performance indicators will be monitored
throughout the new Measure in order to assure
that funds are invested efficiently and effectively.
HOW THE PLAN
WAS DEVELOPED
The Measure C Renewal Executive
Committee and the TWG were formed
in February 2021to develop the Measure
C Renewal Expenditure Plan. The TWG
evaluated existing transportation systems
and needs, and the Executive Committee
established goals for the future. There was
recognition that this Measure C Renewal
Plan needed to address the existing and
future transportation needs, focusing on
local neighborhoods and community street
and road maintenance, as well as continuing
investments in bicycle and pedestrian
facilities, transit services, and reducing
and avoiding congestion on our highways.
This Plan has built-in flexibility that will
allow our cities and County to adapt to their
specific transportation needs as they change
over time. This Plan recognizes transportation
programs that maintain and improve our
quality of life and position us to provide the
type of facilities and services that will be
needed to address our future mobility needs,
Members of the Executive Committee:
reviewed o voriety of proposols,
considered public input ond professionol

14 EXPECTED
MEASURE C
PROCEEDS
If voters approve the Extension of Measure C
in November of 2022, theywill authorize
the Authorityto continue to collect aVz cent
retail transaction and use tax for 30 years
(between fuly 1, 2027 and |une 30, 2057).
This is not a new or an added tax, but simply
an Extension of the existing Measure C tax.
Ihis extension will: provide over
$o.ge biilion in new revenues
for tro nspo rtatio n i m prove m e nts
o cco rd i ng to fi n a ncia I proj ections
through the yeor 2057.
The $6.84 billion this third Measure will
generate is four and one-half times the amount
that is expected to be collected during the
current Measure C Program (approximately
$1.2 to $t.S billion) through lune2027.
The allocation of these projected sales tax
revenues to specific types oftransportation
funding programs and improvement projects is
described in the following sections of this plan.
The Authoritywill prepare and then update
a Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) every
two (2) years in order to verify or modify
the funding expectations based on the thencurrent fiscal conditions, making sure that the projections are consistent with future
expenditures and the promises made in this
plan. The Authority and Fresno COG will
also revisit this expenditure plan in 2042
(midpoint of the Measure) to potentially
adjust the transportation programs and
associated allocations of Measure C proceeds
ensuring that the plan addresses the future
transportation needs of the county and
its residents as determined through a
comprehensive public engagement process.
Finally, the Authoritywill have the option of
issuing bonds to deliver Measure C projects
and programs contained in this plan to save
project costs by delivering them earlier, and to
provide Fresno County residents with muchneeded road repairs years sooner than would be possible without bonding.
COUNTY-WIDE
PRIORITIES OF
THE NEW PL/AN
Through many months of intense discussion and
public input, the following Measure C Extension
funding program commitments were developed
and agreed upon bythe Executive Committee
and the TWG. The Committees recognized
that providing Measure C funds for all modes
oftransportation would help meet the qualrty
of life needs of all Fresno County residents,
thus enabling each ofthe 16 agencies within
the County to address the specific needs
of their residents, businesses, and major
industries over the 3O-year life of the Measure.
15 The new Plan will: Provide o minimum
of 51.37% of the Meosure to the /5 crtres

Street Repair and
Maintenance
$s.stt billion or 51.37%
A significant increase in funding for our local
street networks including neighborhood streets
is clearly the greatest need expressed during the
public engagement process and in the two opinion
surveys. In fact, nearly 81% ofthose surveyed
county-wide strongly agreed that repairing roads
and fixing potholes was their highest priority.
The goal of this program is to improve each of the
individual cities' and the County's unincorporated
areas and communities pavement condition index
or PCI from the current County-wide average of
57 (just above the "Poor" category) to 70, which
is within the "Good" category. Improvements that
will be made bythe 15 cities and Fresno Countyto
address the goal include:
. Fixing potholes with long lasting repairs
. Repaving streets.
. Keeping good roads in good condition
through the strategic application of
preventative maintenance strategies.
. Ensuring that all neighbors, especially
those in disadvantaged areas, see
improvements to their local roads.
. Measuring and monitoring
progress towards the 70 PCI goal.
. Providing additional resources
to areas of very low income.
These expenditures would address one of the
most troubling transportation problems for
local agencies; how to fund improvements that
address the aging street and road infrastructure
while at the same time preserving roads that are
currently in good condition.
A minimum base of $100,000 per year shall
be allocated to each agency under the Local &
Neighborhood Street Repair & Maintenance
Program. Every agencythat receives Local
Street Repair Program funding must allocate
no less than 30% of their allocation, as
determined on a S-year rolling average,
on areas within their jurisdiction that are
disadvantaged using the highest 25% census
tracks based on CalEnviro Screen 4.0 and
areas with a median income of less than 80%o
of the statewide median. Restriction remains
in effect until the Agency's average PCI for
the Disadvantaged Areas reaches 65. Once the
average PCI of 65 is met, that 30% restriction
is suspended, as long as those areas do not fall
below a PCI of 65 in subsequent years. Agencies
must still continue to invest in those areas in
order to raise the overall PCI to 70.
When the overall PCI of the streets within a
jurisdiction either exceeds 80, or the lowest PCI
on any street within the jurisdiction is 70 or
higher, Local and Neighborhood Street Repair and
Maintenance program funds in excess ofwhat is
needed to maintain street condition above a PCI of
70 maybe utilized as Local Control program funds.
17 Local Control
$1.2O9 billion or 17.64%
This program provides the local agencies
flexible funding to address their most pressing
unfunded or underfunded transportation needs
within their jurisdictions. These funds would
be used for a variety of purposes including:
. Repair sidewalks to create safe routes
to school and increase accessibility
for people with disabilities.
. SupplementActive Transportation
(bike, pedestrian and trails systems) projects.
. Further improve public transit services.
. Eliminate bottlenecks on local streets where
road improvements are not complete.
. Address environmental sustainability and other
important transportation improvements.
The local agencies in Fresno County know
what their needs are and how best to address
those needs. This plan empowers them to
make these critical choices for their residents
and businesses.
Tmplementatinn nf Oppnrtrrnity Cnrridors is an
eligible expense within the Measure C Renewal
Local Control Program. In addition, certain
elements of Opportunity Corridors may also be
eligible within the Urban and Rural Transit, Safe
Bikes and Pedestrians, Major Roads and Highways,
and Environment Sustainability Programs.
Hl3?:+L1l't'"' E
$812 million or 11.88%
The goal is to improve public transit programs that
provide essential mobility services to residents
who do not have options, and for people who
may have access to a vehicle but prefer to utilize
transit; improve air quality, reduce greenhouse
gas emissions, and help avoid congestion.
Transit provides essential services to those
who have no or limited options. This plan
will allow for reduced transit fares for seniors,
students, veterans and people with disabilities.
It is critical that we ensure the most flexible,
reliable, predictable, and affordable transit
services are available for the transit dependent.
Measure C Renewal funding is provided to the
three (3) transit agencies within the county
(Fresno Area Express, Clovis Transit, and the
Fresno County Rural Transit Agency). The
transit agencies would use the funds to:
. Add routes as demand increases.
. Reduced transit fares for seniors, students,
veterans and people with disabilities.
. Acqrrire low or z,ern emissinn httses.
. Provide night and weekend
service as demand dictates.
. Provide safe, clean, and strategically
located bus shelters.
. Provide safer access to public transit services.
a
18 The transit agencies would also
applythe Measure funds to provide:
. "Free or reduced fare bus service" to seniors,
students, and people with disabilities.
. Provide new and innovative mobility for
seniors, students, and people with disabilities,
. Implement innovative lower cost transit
solutions for un-served or under-served areas.
. "Subsidized taxi scrip" to seniors
(65 years or older) and people with
disabilities resulting in better service to
those with special transportation needs and
the growing aging population in Fresno County.
Transit funding is a significant part of the state
and federal transportation funding programs.
This has been an established trend that is
increasing over time. Measure C funding
should be utilized to the largest extent
possible to leverage these funding sources.
;:1""3JIfi3"0 tr
Including Sofe Roufes Io
School ond Access For
People With Disa bilities
$75.5 million or 1.22%
Improvements to the existing and planned
pedestrian, trail, bicycle and Safe Routes to
School systems have gained prominence around
the State and within Fresno County. There are
significant opportunities for funding these types
of projects using state and federal funds.
In addition, as with the current Measure, all
streets funded by Measure C must have
shoulders that accommodate bike lanes. With a
few exceptions, these types ofprojects are very
low cost when compared to vehicular projects.
Measure C funding in this program should be
utilized to the largest extent possible to enhance
safety, increase availability and leverage these
State and Federal funding sources.
Major Road and
Highways, Safety
lmprovement And
Congestion Relief
$ggz.z million or 14.60%
The core of the urban and suburban freeway
and expressway system has been completed,
and many improvements to rural highways
have been accomplished during the 1986 and
2006 Measure programs.
Future improvements to the State Highway
System need to be focused on:
. Improving safety.
. Reducing and avoiding future congestion.
. Increasingsustainability.
. Focusing on multimodal operational
improvements such as auxiliary lanes,
freeway interchange improvements,
metering projects, demand management,
and Smart Corridor concepts that maximize
capacity of existing facilities.
tr
19 These projects provide for the movement of
goods, services, and people throughout the
county, as well as accommodating goods
movement from Fresno County industries to
the rest of the State and the nation. Because
this proposed Measure has a duration of 30
years, the Executive Committee and the TWG
agreed to identify a 1S-year improvement
program, with the second l5 years to be
addressed near the midpoint of the Measure.
This second 1S-year plan will be developed
after an evaluation of future needs as well as
an extensive public engagement process.
Major highlights ofthis Regional Program include:
. Approximately $998 million or 74,600/o for
regionally significant street and highway
improvements has been divided between
the Urban and Rural areas of the county
with approximately $749 million or 75o/o to
the urban areas of Fresno and Clovis and
approximately $249 million or 25o/o, to the
remainder of the county (other cities and the
county unincorporated area). This funding
split generally reflects the relative populations
and needs ofthe urban and rural area.
. $35 millionwill be invested in improvements
to Fresno Yosemite lnternational (FYI) Airport.
This program relies heavily on leveraged
funding from various sources including the
State Transportation Improvement Program,
the State HighwayOperations and Protection
Program, the State Local Partnership Program,
federal grants, and the Regional Transportation
Mitigation Fee Program (RTMF). Overall, it
is anticipated that these programs will add
another $1.5 billion in funding to the nearly
$1 billion of Measure C funding included in
this Measure. Further, it is expected that there
will also be some Local Development Fees
included on some of these projects.
The RTMF requires that new growth and
development within the county and each of the
cities contribute to regional street and highway
project costs. The RTMF program was originally
established during the current Measure C
program and will be continued under this
Measure. The purpose ofthis RTMF Program
is to ensure that growth and development
pay their fair share of impacts to the county's
transportation facilities. The RTMF is discussed
in more detail later in this Plan.
Environmental
Sustainability
$Ua mnion or 2.OO%
This program's goal is to improve air quality
and greenhouse gas emissions by:
. ReducingVehicle Miles Traveled though support
of Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and
Opportunity Corridors (OC). TOD projects
help support developments that will increase
demand for transit though higher density and
mixed use. OC projects also support higher
density and mixed-use developments through
conversion of existing auto-centric streets into
multimodal streetscapes.
20 . Clean Energy.
. Travel Choice.
. Future Technologies.
. Litter Abatement.
. Opportunity Corridors.
Rather than identifr a specific amount for each of
these subprograms for the life ofthe Measure, this
Renewal Expenditure Plan will allowthe FCTA
Board to make that determination everytwo (2)
years as a part of the Measure C Expenditure
Plan Update. For the initial two years of the
Environmental Sustainability Program the split

. Administer and conduct specified activities
identified in the other six programs described
above including increased oversight and
performance monitoring.
Compliance with the
California Environmental
Quality Act
The Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan is not
a "project" under the California Environmental
QualityAct (CEQA) and, therefore, is exempt
from CEQA review. The Plan is designed to
provide a funding mechanism for potential future
projects and programs related to the Authority's
provision of transportation funding and services.
However, the Authority is not approving the
construction of any projects that may result
in a direct or indirect physical change in the
environment; future voter approval is required
prior to establishing anyfunding mechanism as
set forth in Measure C Enabling Legislation; and
all appropriate state and federal environmental
reviews will be required and completed prior
to any future approval ofspecific projects.

URBAN AND RURAL PROGRAMS
This section identifies priority regional streets and
highway improvement projects to be implemented
over the life of the Measure C Renewal Program.
These prpjects will be funded with Measure C
and other transportation funding. Major Road &
Hlghways, Safety Improvement and Congestlon
Relief Program (MR&H) projects are defined
as those ofregional significance. These projects
tend to be on the State highway system, as those
facilities are regional bynature; however MR&H
Program projects can also include projects on
major local arterials that serve more than one city
or area ofthe county.
z
22 Fresno Yosemite Airport (FYI) is also included
as a regional facility as it facilitates passenger
and freight travel throughout the county as
well as surrounding counties.
Because the duration of this Measure is 30
years, the MR&H Program has been split into
two periods; years 1-15, and years 16-30.
This program split provides a number of
specific benefits:
. It is difficult to determine a comprehensive
list ofall regional transportation needs 30+
years into the future. This split approach
allows a focus on the first 15 years in order
to establish a firm need, and a second 15
years that can be flexible.
. It is equally difficult to project 30+ years
of revenue. The program split will allow
Measure C Sales Tax
State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)
Federal Aid (BUILD, RAISE, Etc.)
State Local Partnership (LPP)
State Operations & Maintenance (SHOPP)
Regional Transportation Mitigation Fee
the Authority and Fresno COG to more
accurately predict the first 15 years of
revenue and will initiate a "real time"
assessment of the second 15 years of
funding availability in204I for review
and acceptancein2042.
. Transportation innovations have tended to
occur at the micro level rather than at the
macro. However, macro changes are possible
and may be likely. A mid-program review will
allow the Authority and Fresno COG, guided
by an extensive public engagement effort and
input from the l6local agencies, to adjust
the list ofprojects for the second 15 years to
better reflect future transportation needs.
The funding projections for the
Measure are provided in Table 3.

23 The funding split between the urban and rural
subprograms was based on population, and on
the relative highway, street, and road needs of
those areas as described in the Table.
This Expenditure Plan contains Tier I Urban
and Rural Project lists for the County (reference
Tables 4 and 5). The Tier 1 projects are included
in the initial 15 years of the Measure C Renewal
program while the Tier 2lists are projects
potentia\ eligible for funding in the second
15 years of the Measure C Renewal program.
Tier I Urban and Rural lists are both committed
by approxim ately 20o/o. This allows the most
significant priorities for the urban and rural
areas to begin the project deliveryprocess
during the first 1S-year period.
It is possible that additional as yet unidentified
funding may become available. The region
should have projects "shovel-ready" to
take advantage ofthese types offunding
opportunities. Should additional funding not
materialize, these projects would be eligible
for bonding ofsecond period revenues.

Vi ew Map_
Tier I projects are shown in Figures 2 and3.
Tier 2 Project Lists can be found in Tables 6
and7. The Tier 2 lists provide priorityprojects
that will be considered for Measure C Renewal
along with other state, federal and local
funding in the second half of the Measure
(years 16-30). The Tier 2 total costs currently
exceed anticipated funding in the second half
of the Measure; and may be revised to reflect
future project priorities as they are identified
through the RTP/SCS planning process and
through the Authorityt and Fresno COG's
public engagement process.
The Expenditure Plan also contains $35
million for improvements at FYI Airport.
Fresno COG and the Authoritywill conduct
biennial MR&H Program reviews and
updates, the purpose of which will be to
ascertain project delivery status as well as
validity of funding availability Adjustments to
delivery schedules and funding contributions
may be necessary as a part of these updates.
No later than |une 30,2027, Fresno COG and
the Authority will identify projects from the Tier
I lists fur lhc fir'sl, sevcr years uf lhe Measurc
C Renewal Program. These projects will be
selected based on relative priority, deliverability,
and cash flow. No later than lune 30,2034,
Fresno COG and theAuthoritywill identify
projects from the Tier 1 lists for years 7-15 of the
Measure C Renewal programs; again, based on
relative priorities, deliverability, and cash flow.
24 Beginning no later than 2041, Fresno
COG and the Authority will conduct a
comprehensive public engagement process
to help guide the effort to establish the list of
projects to be funded during the second half
of the Measure. No later than 2042,Fresno
COG and the Authority will adopt a list of
Urban and Rural projects to be funded
during the second half of the Measure.
Construction of the Major Road and Highway
Safety Improvement and Congestion Relief
Program projects and implemenation of the
local streets and roads and other programs
identified in the Expenditure Plan are needed
as soon as possible. In order to accomplish
this, some level ofborrowing maybe required.
The Authoritywill determine the extent of
borrowing that is reasonable as the program
is implemented. Up to $900 million (I3o/o) of
the revenues expected to be generated will be
made available for this purpose.
Program Management
If approved bythe voters, this Measure C
Renewal will require substantially more
monitoring, analysis, and reporting than the
current Measure. The Authority may seek the
assistance of a program management firm and/
or additional staff. The primary responsibility
of enhanced program managementwould be
to assist with the development and monitoring
of performance measures as discussed in
the Renewal Expenditure Plan and in these
Implementing Guidelines. Enhanced Program
Management could also include managing
projects contained within the Major Roads
and Highways, Safety Improvement and
Congestion Relief Program, and other
responsibilities necessary for efficient and
effective implementation of the various
programs. Enhanced program management
responsibilities are part of program
and project delivery and separate
from Program Administration.
Regiona I Tra nsportation
Mitigation Fee
(RTMF) Program
The 2006 Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan
set forth requirements related to implementation
of the Regional Transportation Mitigation
Fee (RTMF) Program. The 2006 Measure C
ballot included requirements for local Fresno
Countycities and the county (local agencies) to
implement Regional Transportation Mitigation
Fees pursuant to California Government Code
Sections 66000, et seq. and remit the proceeds to
the FCTAto supplement construction of projects
in the Regional Transportation program. The
ballot also included enforcement mechanisms
to ensure all Fresno County local agencies
participated in the program. In response
to those requirements, and to implement
a consistent regional fee, the local agencies
formed a |oint Powers Agency (IPA), Fresno
County Regional Transportation Mitigation Fee
Agency (FCRTMFA), pursuant to California
Government Code Sections 6500, et seq.
25 This Measure Renewal provides for the
continuation ofthe RTMF program established
by the 2006 Measure, including all local agency
enforcement mechanisms, the perpetuation of
the Fresno County RTMF Agency through the
life of the Measure and all adopted policies and
agreements currently in effect pertaining to
the mitigation fee program. The Measure also
recognizes that mitigation fees are governed
by State law, which changes from time to time,
and stipulates implementation of the program
shall remain in compliance with California law
California statute currently requires a major
update to the NEXUS in 2028, which will revisit
how the fee has been spent on current projects,
consideration of future projects, adjustments to
rates, and all other legal program requirements.
TheAuthority, consistent with the adopted and
updated Measure C Expenditure Plan, shall have
the authority and flexibility to allocate the RTMF
based upon regional priority need within the
county as defined by the biannual update ofthe
Major Roads & Highways, Safetylmprovement
and Congestion Relief Program consistent with
State law governing impact mitigation fees.
No later than |une 30,2027, all Measure C
agencies must extend the RTMF |PAestablished
as a part of the second Measure C, consistent
with Section 7 of the |PAAgreement. If any
city or Fresno County should choose to not
implement the RTMF, that agency shall forfeit
annually from the Local Control Program,
an amount equal to the amount of RTMF
that would otherwise have been paid for
development projects within that jurisdiction
during the year. Ifan agency chooses to not
implement the RTMR that agency shall notify
the Authority of such decision and shall file
an advisory report with the Authority for each
development indicatingthe amount of RTMF
that would have been paid. The Authority shall
make a total calculation of RTMF obligation
on an annual basis and deduct the appropriate
amount of funds for the RTMF from the Local
Control Program allocation for that agency.

40 CITIZEN
OVERSIGHT
COMMITTEE
A Citizen Oversight Committee (COC) was
established as a part of the 2006 Measure. That
committee's efforts have been helpful in analyzing
local agency conformance to Expenditure Plan
requirements. Each year their findings are an
important part of the Measure C Annual Report.
This proposed Measure will continue efforts of
the COC with a number of key changes to help
increase local agency accountability for Measure
C funds spent, and to make it easier to ensure that
all COC seats remain filled during the duration
of the Measure (reference the Implementing
Guidelines available online in |une 2022 at
www.measurecrenewal.com).
Additional responsibilities and minor changes
to COC membership are also included in the
Implementing Guidelines. COC responsibilities
generally include the following:
. Receive, review, inspect, and recommend
action on independent financial and
performance audits related to the planning
and implementation of the Measure C
Extension program.
. Receive, review and recommend action
on other periodic reports, studies, and
plans from responsible agencies including
the Authority, Fresno COG, the Cities, the
County or other agencies. Such reports,
studies and plans must be directly related to
Measure C Extension programs, revenues,
or expenditures.
. Review and comment upon Measure C
Extension expenditures to ensure that they
are consistent with the Expenditure Plan.
. Annually review how sales tax receipts are
being spent and publicize the results.
. Present committee recommendations,
findings, and requests to the public and
the Authority in a formal annual report.
41 ADMINISTRATION
Fresno County Transpoftation
Authority Structure
Under the Measure C
Renewal Extension Program
The Authoritywill continue to administer the
Measure C Renewal Extension Program in
compliance with its special enabling legislation.
If the Measure C Extension is approved by Fresno
County voters in November 2022,the Authority
will continue to be responsible for administering
the Measure C Programs in accordance with
plans and programs outlined in the Renewal
Expenditure Plan and subsequent updates ofthe
Plan. In addition, the enabling legislation includes
provision for a Citizen Oversight Committee
(COC). The COC was formed in2007 under the
current Measure Program. Details regarding the
Committee are contained in the Implementing
Guidelines. The Expenditure Plan will continue
to be prepared bytheAuthority and Fresno COG
and approved bythe Fresno COG Policy Board
and by the Authority.
The enabling legislation requires that the Authority
be represented by nine (9) members including:
. Two (2) members of the Board of Supervisors
appointed by the board, consisting of one (1)
member from Rural district l, 4, or 5 and one
(1) member from Urban district 2 or 3.
. Two (2) members representing the City of
Fresno, consisting of the mayor thereof and
a member of the city council of that city
appointed by the city council.
. One (1) member representing the City of
Clovis appointed bythe citycouncil of that city.
. Two (2) members representing the other
cities within the county, consisting of one (1)
Westside member appointed by a committee
comprised of the mayor or each of those
cities west of State Route 99, and one (1)
Eastside member appointed by a committee
comprised of the mayors of each of those
cities east of State Route 99.
. Two (2) members of the public-at-large,
consisting of one member appointed bythe
board of supervisors with the appointee
residing outside of the incorporated areas
of Fresno and Clovis, and one member
appointed jointly by the cities of Fresno and
Clovis with the appointee residing within
the incorporated area of Fresno or Clovis.
42 The 2006 Measure C Extension added two new
members to the Authority Board. These two
positions were identified as "Public Members-atLarge" with one seat identified as urban and one as rural. The urban member was to be appointed
jointly by the City of Fresno and City of Clovis,
while the rural member was to be appointed
by the Fresno County Board of Supervisors.
It has been difficult to keep the urban seat
filled. Under this proposed Measure C Renewal
Program, the urban member appointment
will remain the responsibility of the two cities
and the rural member appointment will be
the responsibility of the Board of Supervisors.
Howevet if either position remains unfilled for
nine (9) consecutive months, said member(s) will
be appointed by the Authority Executive Director.
An appointee of the Executive Director will serve
a full term, after which the responsible agencies
will have an opportunityto choose the successor.
As with the current Measure C Program,
the goal of the Authority and Fresno COG
will be to continue to fulfill the Promise of
Measure C by delivering projects.
PLAN UPDATE AND
APPROVAL PROCESSES
Regiona I Tronsportotion Plan ond
S u sto i n o b I e Co m m u n iti es Strofegies
In compliance with schedules mandated in
federal and State law, Fresno COG regularly
prepares the Regional Transportation Plan/
Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS)
every four (4) years that updates and renews a
list of candidate projects for all transportation
modes (streets, highways, public transportation,
bikeways, aviation, etc.). If funds are available
for any projects beyond those listed in
the Renewal Expenditure Plan, they will
be drawn from that list. As stated before,
all updates of the Renewal Expenditure Plan
will be subject to public review and public
hearings. While these candidate projects may
change and priorities for funding may occur,
there are more than enough project needs
within the County to be addressed using
all types of funding, including Measure C.
It will be vital during development of each
Expenditure Plan Update to consider financing
all transportation modes in order to ensure a
balanced and efficient transportation system.
All of the projects and programs included in
the Expenditure Plan are considered essential to
meet the transportation needs of Fresno County.
Meosure C Expenditure Plon Updote
Fresno COG preforms a biennial update of the
approved Expenditure Plan. Fresno COG and
Authority staffwork with member agencies and
affected stakeholders to review and update the
Expenditure Plan taking into consideration the
status of project delivery, funding availability,
and performance indicators. The Fresno COG
Policy Board receives the Draft Expenditure
Plan and its updates and schedules public
hearings to review the Plan. After adoption of
any Expenditure Plan updates by the Policy
Board, the Plan is transmitted to the Authority
for their consideration and approval.
43 Strotegrc Im plementotion Plon
The Authoritywill prepare a Strategic
Implementation Plan which provides
detailed guidance to local agencies on the
use of Measure C funds. The Authority
updates this plan every two years.
Expenditure Plon Amend ments
Fresno COG has the primary responsibility
for initiating official amendments of the
Expenditure Plan. Fresno COG prepares
proposed amendments to be considered bythe
COG Policy Board. Amendments approved by
the Policy Board are then transmitted to the
Authority for consideration. If approved by the
Authority Board, amendments are incorporated
into the Expenditure Plan.
The Authority Board may also initiate Expenditure
Plan amendments. The Authority shall take
all appropriate actions to give highest priority
to the projects and programs in the approved
Expenditure Plan, and if any amendments delay or
delete anyproject in the initial plan, theAuthority
shall hold a public hearing and adopt a resolution
initiating the amendments.
The Authority shall notify Fresno COG,
the Board of Supervisors, and the city council
of each city in the county and provide them
with a copy of the proposed amendments.
The amendment is then approved by the
Board of Supervisors and then approved bya
majority of the cities constituting a majorityof
the population residing in the incorporated
areas of the county. The proposed amendments
shall become effective immediately upon
completion of the approval process.
I nde pend ent Fi na ncio I Aud its
Currently, the Authority annually commissions
independent financial audits of the Measure C
programs and receipts.If the Measure is renewed
by the voters, the Authority would continue
to conduct independent financial audits
consistent with its enabling legislation.
Bonding
The FCTA Board may consider bonding
offuture revenues ifproject needs, and
deliverability exceed cash flow Bonding will
not be used until first determining that the
benefits ofaccelerated project or program
delivery outweigh the additional cost of
interest on narrowed funds.

FRESNO COUNTY CALIFORNIA
CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
DATE: JULY 26,2022
TO: MAYOR/CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOHN G. BORBOA, FIRE CHIEF
RE: RECIPROCAL MUTUAL AID/AUTO AID FIRE AGENCY CONTRACTS Let me take this opportunity to clarify and explain how our contracts with both the County of Madera and the Fresno County Fire Protection benefit our city, residents and travelers thereof. I can't recall in recent years being asked specifics of such and the agreements just being passed.
We have had an agreement with the County of Madera since the mid eighties in which the city responds to emergencies within a mapped geographical area in the County.
This came about when residents across the river began complaining to the Madera County Board of Supervisors about the lengthy response times the Madera County Fire Depaftment took to arrive on scene of emergencies. These complaints came from not only ranches just across the County line but the folks who live in Eastside Acres.
Madera County, due to budget cuts shut down the fire station in lJairyland, which would have been first on scene for incidents. Also, keep in mind almost everyone in our city travels Avenue 7 1/z dnd Avenue 7, which also affected them in the event of an accident or medical emergency.
I was contacted by Madera County Fire and a reciprocal mutual aid/auto aid agreement was worked out and accepted by both the City of Firebaugh and the Madera County Board of Superuisors. It provided for the city to respond automatically to incidents within the given area and render aid or begin suppression action until the Madera County Fire Depaftment resources arrived on scene.
This agreement provided that the County would pay the city for each auto aid incident at the end of each fiscal year. As paft of the agreement, mutual aid is included in CITY OF FIREBAI.,GH FRESNO COUNTY CALIFORNIA

FAX (559) 659-3472
which the city can ask for assistance from Madera County in the event of a major fire within the city at no cost to the city. This, I believe has occurred three times since the agreement inception.
The only thing that has changed in all of those years is the per call remittance Madera County p?ys, which is now $250.00 per incident as amended and approved by both the city and the County just last month. This should generate approximately $12,000.00 to $15,000.00 per year for the city.
Our agreement past and as amended with the Fresno County Fire Protection District is a little different in as'much as how the remittance is paid and it relies more heavily on the reciprocal mutual aid segment.
There are fifteen (15) organized Fire Departments within Fresno County. Several years ago, all of the Fire Chiefs entered into an agreed upon understanding in which all pafticipated in a county wide mutual aid agreement. In shoft, all agencies agreed to help on a as need basis any County Fire Agency requesting assistance on an incident if resources and equipment were available, and the incident ovenruhelmed their manpower and resources.
The Fresno County Fire Protection District being the major player in the County due to their unlimited access to resources through Cal Fire was the deciding factor for the other depaftments.
Our contract with the Fresno County Fire Protection District is a reciprocal contract in which the district will respond a minimum of one engine immediately and more if deemed necessary into the City to assist at no charge. The City will in turn respond to incidents within a geographical District area immediately upon request until relieved by the district. This includes an immediate response into the City of Mendota for any structure fire. This is the Auto Aid aspect of the agreement.
The reciprocal mutual aid aspect is that the Cities have access, if available to all resources of the Fresno County Fire District and their signees and the County has access, again if available to the resources of the other Depaftments.
Whereas the City of Firebaugh assists Fresno County more than the district assists the City, the County in the new contract before the Council this evening increases the amount of money paid the City of Firebaugh at the end of each fiscal year. Since 2008, CITY OF FIR.EBAI.JGH

FIREBAUGH, CALIFORNIA 93622-25 47

FRESNO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
the district has paid the city $12,000.00 per year. Beginning with this new contract the amount will increase to $25,000.00 per year. Which means the total contract remittance from the County of Madera and the Fresno County Fire Protection District should generate approximately $40,000.00 in general fund revenue annually.
I want to emphasize to Council that without these agreements in place, we never would have seen an aerial ladder truck on the Rebecchi Depaftment Store Fire furnished and manned by the North Central Fire Protection District. Nor would we have seen three manned engines from the Fresno County Fire Protection District. When an anhydrous ammonia leak occurred at the Red Rooster and two blocks had to be evacuated, we never would have seen a Level 1 Hazmat unit with five personnel and an Engine with three personnel from the City of Fresno. It was those personnel that mitigated the leak.
When the river bottom fire exploded last month with evacuations in effect in Eastside Acres and City structures threatened on River Drive we never would have seen a bulldozer from Fresno County/Cal Fire assisting in suppression effofts nor two staffed engines and a water tender.
In short, out of the fifteen organized Fire Depaftments in the County, the City of Fresno and the City of Firebaugh arq the only two that receive compensation from the district whib all of the others are doing the same thing just to have access to the district resources.
When you consider the Fire Department budget during fiscal year 20l2Lwas $6,000.00 for fuel, $10,500.00 for the Fire Department stipend and $10,000.00 for vehicle repairs, these contracts are actually subsldlzlng emergency serulces for the cltlzens of this City.
I hope this clarifies and answers any concerns you may have on this matter. If not, I'll be more than happy as always to answer any questions during Council meetings.

BY DAVID BORBOA
TheWestside Express
With Independence Day
falling on a Monday this

--No serious fires took
place despite a plethora of
illegal fireworls being set
off.
-There were several
wrrecks on Westside roads
and highways.
-A total of 12 people frorn
Dos Falos are a little light in
the wallet after being caught
with illegal fireworks.
Dos Palos police chief
Ridr McEachin said that
his officers, as well as fire
departmmt personnel, were
very busy durins the weekendpatrolling.
"We had five offi.cers sahrrating the crry We stuvivccl and it worhed out pretty
well," said McEachin.
Dos Palos police gfficers
issued citations to 12 indi
viduals cauglrt with illegal
fueworks. That is a record
for the police deparment
and the fine for this is a
whopping $1,000.
"I continue to hope that
people will get the idea that
we rue enforcing this. But
apparently they are not, and
I guess they think they won't
get caught," said the ehief.
IMcEachin added that
there were no fues in the city
and only one small vegetation fire in South Dos Palos, "and that's really gciod."
