PUBLIC COMMENT
Lupe Flores introduced herself as a lifelong resident of Mendota and a candidate for Fresno County District 1. A graduate of Tranquillity High School and West Hills College, where she received her AA Business Degree. She shared her background and passion for public service, including 21 years on the Mendota Unified School District Board, serving as Board President in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. She retired from public service with the California Labor Commissioner’s Office and the Employment Development Department. She expressed support for the Fresno County Board of Supervisors’ current legislative platform priorities, with particular emphasis on Measure C, water issues, and public safety funding. Mrs. Flores highlighted her family’s longstanding community involvement, including her husband’s two-term service on the Mendota City Council, pastoring at Rivers of Living Waters Christian Church for 15 years, and they have been business operators since 2007.

She emphasized her commitment to family, faith, education, public safety, economic development, and supporting rural communities.

Stephanie Gonzales had a question regarding the city's social media page and why it’s not being maintained by anyone currently. Some council members are doing a great job and provide information on their personal social media, but the city's web page would be a great source to provide residents with local information.

Mike Daniel, 5864 Columbia Road, reported that Cal Ripken and Softball registration will be starting soon. Last year, there were 265 participants, and this year, the league is expecting higher participation. Parents have inquired about the Josh Allen/New Balance grant funding, and which sports organizations will have access to those funds. He stated that they were not notified of the last Parks and Recreation meeting and requested to be informed of any upcoming meetings.

AGENDA ITEM: PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION

AUTHORIZING THE APPLICATION, ADOPTING THE PLHA PLAN, AND

ADOPTING THE PROGRAM INCOME REUSE PLAN FOR THE
PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING ALLOCATION PROGRAM.

MEETING DATE: March 2, 2026
PREPARED BY: Ben Gallegos, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing to receive information from staff and comments from the public and adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) approving the required elements for a Permanent Local Housing Allocation.

BACKGROUND
PLHA Program
The Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) is a state-wide funding program under the Building Homes and Jobs Act (SB 2, 2017). SB 2 established a $75 recording fee on documented real estate property transfers and provides dedicated funding for local affordable housing-related projects and programs that assist in addressing unmet housing needs. PLHA funds can be used for many activities aimed at increasing housing accessibility. The current requirements for the PLHA program require that applicants set aside at least 40 percent of PLHA funds for owner-occupied activities, while the remainder can be applied towards rental housing activities at the discretion of the local agency.

PLHA Program Plan & Available Funding
The City of Firebaugh is eligible for the PLHA Program based on an allocation formula provided by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Before a funding application can be submitted and approved, a program plan covering the five-year allocation period (2019-2023) must be adopted by the City outlining how projected funds will be used. The recommended Plan is attached to this report as Attachment 2.

HCD estimated that the City of Firebaugh may receive $572,371 over the designated allocation period. However, allocations for the first three years of the five-year period have lapsed and funds for those prior years are no longer available. Remaining allocations for years 2022 and 2023 total $131,033. With Council approval, staff will submit a Plan and application for these funds. Five percent of available funds can be applied to administrative costs and 95 percent will be applied to housing projects.

Return to Agenda
Proposed Housing Activities
After a review of potential uses, Staff recommends that available PLHA funds be applied towards two ongoing and pending housing projects. These allocations will help leverage other funding for the projects, thereby increasing the feasibility of those projects moving forward. The proposed breakdown also complies with program requirements that at least 40 percent of funds be allocated to ownership housing opportunities. The proposed uses are described as follows:
 Rental Housing Opportunities: Infill Mixed-Use Housing Development – Downtown Firebaugh. PLHA funds will support the development and construction of a proposed residential mixed-use infill project in Downtown Firebaugh. The project will support at least five (5) new rental units serving extremely-low to lowincome households.  Ownership Housing Opportunities: San Joaquin Villas – Phase II (Habitat for Humanity). PLHA funds will contribute to the development and construction of Phase II of the San Joaquin Villas, a Fresno County Habitat for Humanity sweatequity single-family homeownership project. Funding will assist in supporting approximately ten (10) affordable ownership units serving low- to moderateincome households.

40% Ownership Project $52,413 $29,997 $22,444
Program Income Reuse Plan
Some of the funding applied to housing projects will occur in the form of a loan, which will generate “program income” when the loan is repaid. A program income reuse plan is required describing how repaid loans or accrued interest will be reused. The recommended Reuse Plan (Attachment 2) confirms that the City of Firebaugh will utilize any program income it receives to fund its affordable housing projects within the parameters of the PLHA Program.

PUBLIC REVIEW AND COMMENT
The Draft PLHA Program Plan was made available for public review at City Hall and on the City’s website. A public notice inviting review and comment was published. No comments had been received at this time this report was completed. Any comments received from the public before or during the hearing on this item should be considered prior to taking action.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
PLHA funding in the amount of $131,033 is available to support affordable housing projects in Firebaugh. The recommended resolution will approve the documents required to submit an application for this funding.

FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the recommended action will allow staff to submit an application to receive $131,033 in housing-related funds. Of this amount, 5 percent can be applied to administrative costs, covering the City’s cost to oversee the program.

Permanent Local Housing Allocation
Program Plan for 2019-2023

ADOPTION OF THE PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING ALLOCATION PROGRAM PLAN The City Council of the City of Firebaugh approved and adopted the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program Plan (“the Plan”) at its March 2, 2026 regular meeting through the adoption of Resolution 26-03. Prior to the adoption of Resolution 26-03, the City solicited public review and comment by publishing a notice indicating the Plan was available for review and making it available on the City’s website and at City Hall. The Council also conducted a noticed public hearing regarding the Plan in accordance with its established practices.

SECTION1: INTRODUCTION
In September 2017, the California Legislature approved Senate Bill 2 (SB 2), known as the Building Homes and Jobs Act (Act), which established a $75 recording fee on real estate documents to increase the supply of affordable housing. The Act establishes the PLHA program administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The PLHA Program provides a permanent source of funding to cities and counties to help meet the unmet need for affordable housing and increase the supply of affordable housing units.

Local jurisdictions submitting applications for PLHA funds are first required to prepare an adopt a plan outlining how the funds will be used and how minimum requirements of the program will be met. The plan must cover the entire allocation period (2019-2023). All of the requirements for the plan are outlined in Section 302(c)(4) of the PLHA Guidelines and a template for the information is included in the Excel-based PLHA application form. A completed version of the template is included as Appendix A of this document.

SECTION 2: PLHA ELIGIBLE USES
HCD released its current Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for these funds on October 15, 2024. Jurisdictions receiving PLHA grant funds are required to have a five-year plan in place to determine how the grant funds will be spent. PLHA program requirements specify that applicants set aside 40 percent of PLHA funds for owner-occupied activities.

Notwithstanding this requirement, eligible activities for the PLHA are limited to the following:
§ The predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of multifamily, residential live-work, rental housing that is affordable to Extremely low, Very low-, Low-, or Moderate-income households1, including necessary operating subsidies.
2 § The predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of affordable rental and ownership housing, including Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), that meets the needs of a growing workforce earning up to 120 percent of AMI. ADUs shall be available for occupancy for a term of no less than 30 days. § Matching portions of funds placed into Local or Regional Housing Trust Funds. § Matching portions of funds available through the Low-and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund pursuant to subdivision (d) of HSC Section 34176. § Capitalized Reserves for services connected to the preservation and creation of new permanent supportive housing.
§ Assisting persons who are experiencing or At-risk of homelessness, including, but not limited to, providing rapid re-housing, rental assistance, supportive/case management services that allow people to obtain and retain housing, operating and capital costs for navigation centers and emergency shelters, and the new construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of permanent and transitional housing. § Accessibility modifications in Lower-income Owner-occupied housing. § Efforts to acquire and rehabilitate foreclosed or vacant homes and apartments. § Homeownership opportunities, including, but not limited to, down payment assistance.
§ Fiscal incentives made by a county to a city within the county to incentivize approval of one or more affordable housing Projects, or matching funds invested by a county in an affordable housing development Project in a city within the county, provided that the city has made an equal or greater investment in the Project. The county fiscal incentives shall be in the form of a grant or low-interest loan to an affordable housing Project. Matching funds investments by both the county and the city also shall be a grant or low-interest deferred loan to the affordable housing Project.

SECTION 3: ALLOCATED FUNDING AMOUNTS FOR THE CITY OF FIREBAUGH In its NOFA, HCD estimated that the City of Firebaugh may receive $572,371 over the designated five-year planning period (2019-2023). However, allocations for the first three years of the five-year allocation period have lapsed and funds for those prior years are no longer available. Remaining allocations for years 2022 and 2023 total $131,033. Table 1 below summarizes available funding and the planned breakdown between administration and project funding.

SECTION 4: INVESTMENT PRIORITIES
The City of Firebaugh will prioritize PLHA funds for activities that increase or preserve housing affordable to households earning 60% AMI or below. Priority will be given to new construction of affordable rental and ownership units, including the Downtown mixed-use infill project and San Joaquin Villas Phase II, both of which create deed-restricted units serving extremely-low to moderate-income households. Consistent with current PLHA program requirements, at least 40% of funds will be allocated to ownership housing opportunities.

Project selection will emphasize: (1) the number of units created or preserved for households at or below 60% AMI, (2) timely and cost-effective delivery, and (3) alignment with Firebaugh’s infill and affordable housing goals. This approach ensures PLHA investments directly benefit households most in need.

SECTION 5: CONSISTENCY WITH CITY’S HOUSING ELEMENT PROGRAMS The City of Firebaugh’s 6th Cycle Housing Element was completed in conjunction with the Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional 2023-2031 Housing Element and was adopted on July 1, 2024. The needs analysis prepared in conjunction with the Housing Element identified a great need for financial support and affordable units to meet the needs of extremely low, lower, and moderate-income households. The Housing Element similarly identifies the need to increase affordable rental and ownership housing, promote infill development within the Downtown area, preserve existing affordable units, and support low-income households through rehabilitation assistance. The PLHA activities directly advance these priorities by:
§ Supporting new affordable infill construction in Downtown Firebaugh, consistent with Housing Element programs encouraging higher-density infill and mixed-use development.
§ Expanding affordable homeownership opportunities through the Habitat for Humanity San Joaquin Villas project, aligning with programs that encourage affordable ownership and public-private partnerships.
4 § Rehabilitating existing owner-occupied homes for low-income households, implementing Housing Element programs focused on housing preservation, safety, and extending the life of older housing stock.

Together, these activities directly implement the Housing Element’s core strategies to increase, preserve, and improve the City’s affordable housing supply. Providing funding and other means of assistance for affordable housing is found throughout the City’s certified Housing Element. In particular, the following programs are implemented through the City’s Five Year PLHA Plan:

Program 10: The City will continue to work with housing developers to expand affordable housing opportunities by doing the following (abbreviated list):
§ Continue to seek partnerships and meet at least every other year with other agencies (such as the Housing Authority), housing developers, community stakeholders, and employers to discuss and pursue viable opportunities for providing affordable housing.
§ Work with public or private sponsors to identify candidate sites for new construction of housing for special needs and take all actions necessary to expedite processing of such projects.
§ Monitor HCD’s website annually for NOFA and, where appropriate, prepare or support applications for funding for affordable housing for lower-income households Program13: To further support the development or units affordable to extremely low-income households, such as supportive and multifamily units, the City will continue to seek and pursue State and federal funds to offer a variety of incentives or concessions, such as identifying a development partner such as Habitat for Humanity and/or Self Help to develop housing projects for lower-income families.

SECTION 6: PROPOSED HOUSING ACTIVITIES
The City of Firebaugh proposes to allocate PLHA funds to the following eligible activities:
§ Rental Housing Opportunities: Infill Mixed-Use Housing Development – Downtown Firebaugh. PLHA funds will support the development and construction of a proposed residential mixed-use infill project in Downtown Firebaugh. The project will support five (5) new rental units serving extremely-low to low-income households. § Ownership Housing Opportunities: San Joaquin Villas – Phase II (Habitat for Humanity). PLHA funds will contribute to the development and construction of Phase II of the San Joaquin Villas, a Fresno County Habitat for Humanity sweatequity single-family homeownership project. Funding will assist in supporting ten (10) affordable ownership units serving low- to moderate-income households. 5 6.1 – Rental Housing Opportunities
PLHA funds will be used to support the development and construction of a proposed mixeduse infill housing project in Downtown Firebaugh that will create at least five (5) new rental units affordable to extremely-low, very-low, and low-income households. Funds will be allocated as construction or construction/permanent financing to the selected affordable housing developer in the form of a residual-receipts, forgivable loan consistent with PLHA program requirements.

The PLHA investment will help cover eligible hard and soft development costs, including site preparation, building construction, on-site improvements, utility connections, and necessary architectural, engineering, and permitting expenses. The City will structure the PLHA loan to close at construction financing and convert at project completion, with longterm affordability covenants recorded to ensure the units remain income-restricted for the required PLHA compliance period. Allocation details for the City’s proposed activity related to rental housing opportunities are outlined Table 2 below.

The City of Firebaugh proposes to allocate PLHA funds to the following eligible activities:

Infill Mixed-Use Housing Development – Downtown Firebaugh: PLHA funds will support the development and construction of a proposed residential mixed-use infill project in Downtown Firebaugh. The project will support five (5) new rental units serving extremely-low to low-income households.

San Joaquin Villas – Phase II (Habitat for Humanity): PLHA funds will contribute to the development and construction of Phase II of the San Joaquin Villas, a Fresno County Habitat for Humanity sweat-equity single-family homeownership project. Funding will assist in supporting ten (10) affordable ownership units serving low- to moderateincome households.

Program Administration: A portion of PLHA funds will be used for eligible administrative costs incurred by the City of Firebaugh associated with implementing these activities.

The City of Firebaugh will prioritize PLHA funds for activities that increase or preserve housing affordable to households earning 60% AMI or below. Priority will be given to new construction of affordable rental and ownership units, including the Downtown mixed-use infill project and San Joaquin Villas Phase II, both of which create deedrestricted units serving extremely-low to moderate-income households. The City will also support rehabilitation of existing owner-occupied homes for low-income households to preserve long-term affordability.

Project selection will emphasize: (1) the number of units created or preserved for households at or below 60% AMI, (2) timely and cost-effective delivery, and (3) alignment with Firebaugh’s infill and affordable housing goals. This approach ensures PLHA investments directly benefit households most in need.

The City of Firebaugh’s 6th Cycle Housing Element was completed in conjunction with the Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional 2023-2031 Housing Element and was adopted on July 1, 2024. The needs analysis prepared in conjunction with the Housing Element identified a great need for financial support and affordable units to meet the needs of extremely low-, lower, and moderate-income households. The Housing Element similarly identifies the need to increase affordable rental and ownership housing, promote infill development within the Downtown area, preserve existing affordable units, and support low-income households through rehabilitation assistance. The PLHA activities directly advance these priorities by:
• Supporting new affordable infill construction in Downtown Firebaugh, consistent with Housing Element programs encouraging higher-density infill and mixed-use development. • Expanding affordable homeownership opportunities through the Habitat for Humanity San Joaquin Villas project, aligning with programs that encourage affordable ownership and public-private partnerships. • Rehabilitating existing owner-occupied homes for low-income households, implementing Housing Element programs focused on housing preservation, safety, and extending the life of older housing stock.

Together, these activities directly implement the Housing Element’s core strategies to increase, preserve, and improve the City’s affordable housing supply.Providing funding and other means of assistance for affordable housing is found throughout the City’s certified Housing Element. In particular, the following programs are implemented through the City’s Five Year PLHA Plan
Program 10: The City will continue to work with housing developers to expand affordable housing opportunities by doing the following (abbreviated list):

PLHA funds will support the development and construction of Phase II of the San Joaquin Villas affordable homeownership project, implemented by Habitat for Humanity Greater Fresno Area.

APPENDIX A
9 Appendix B
Program Income Reuse Plan
Purpose
The purpose of this plan is to establish guidelines for the administration and utilization of Program Income in accordance with the California Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program (PLHA) guidelines and regulations.

Definition of Program Income
Program Income is defined as the gross income which is received by the City that has been directly generated from the use of PLHA funds. Most commonly, Program Income is generated from payments of principal and interest on loans made using PLHA funds.

Tracking and Accounting of Program Income
All repayments of PLHA loan principle and interest shall be received by City and deposited into separate reuse account maintained by the City’s Finance Department. The reuse account shall be an interest-bearing account into which all earned interest shall be deposited. Interest earned shall be considered reuse funds and will be used in the same manner and with the same restrictions as principal and interest payments.

Eligible Uses of Program Income
The City of Firebaugh will reuse any program income generated from the PLHA program to continue to fund its affordable housing projects within the parameters of the PLHA Program. Eligible uses and prioritization of investments shall be consistent with City’s adopted PLHA Program Plan.

Administrative Use of Program Income
Five (5) percent of reuse funds may be used for the City’s administrative costs.

TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Ben Gallegos, City Manager
DATE: March 2, 2026
SUBJECT: Adopt the Revised and Restated Memorandum of Agreement Among the Delta-Mendota Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Agencies
Recommendation
Adopt the Revised and Restated Memorandum of Agreement Among the Delta-Mendota Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Agencies.

Discussion
Background
In 2024, the Delta-Mendota Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) adopted a single Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) for the Subbasin to coordinate efforts to meet groundwater sustainability goals as outlined in the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act. On September 12, 2024, the Subbasin GSAs entered into a Memorandum of Agreement to implement the single GSP.

Under the MOA, the Subbasin GSAs had agreements with the San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority (SLDMWA) whereby SLDMWA provided fiscal, contracting and administrative services for the Subbasin.

SLDMWA’s Board directed that SLDMWA consolidate its mission to core objectives and therefore transition away from providing these services by the start of the next fiscal year (March 1, 2026). As a result, the Subbasin GSAs executed a Joint Powers Agreement to establish a Joint Powers Authority in January 2026.

Changes to the MOA
With the establishment of the DM Subbasin GSAs Joint Powers Authority (DM Authority), the SLDMWA will no longer have a role in the management of the GSAs, and therefore, the revised MOA removes the role of SLDWMA in Article III and replaces it with the DM Authority. Additionally, in the revised MOA, the Board of Directors of the DM Authority supersedes and replaces the Coordination Committee identified in Article IV of the Original MOA. Lastly, since Widren Water District and Oro Loma Water District recently joined the Central Delta-Mendota GSA Joint Powers Authority, the MOA signatories reflect this change from 23 to 21 GSAs.

On February 4, 2026, the Delta-Mendota Joint Powers Authority Board of Directors was established and held a Special Joint Meeting with the Coordination Committee. During the meeting, the Revised and Restated MOA was presented by legal counsel. The Board directed legal counsel to modify Section 7.1 of the Agreement to state that the Parties agree to “coordinate to develop and maintain a monitoring network at the Subbasin level.” Please note that this is a non-substantive revision and does not change the terms or Party responsibilities of the Agreement.

MOA Adoption and Timeline
The final MOA for consideration by Subbasin GSAs for adoption is provided as Attachment 1. Staff requests GSAs adopt the final MOA by March 31, 2026.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Lauren Layne at [email protected] or (559) 432- 5400.

REVISED AND RESTATED

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT

AMONG THE DELTA-MENDOTA SUBBASIN

GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY AGENCIES
THIS REVISED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT (this “MOA”) is entered into and shall be effective as of March 1, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), by and among the groundwater sustainability agencies within the Delta-Mendota Subbasin listed in Exhibit “A” (each a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”) and is made with reference to the following facts:

RECITALS
A. On September 16, 2014, Governor Jerry Brown signed into law Senate Bills 1168 and 1319 and Assembly Bill 1739, known collectively as the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (“SGMA”).

B. SGMA requires all groundwater subbasins designated as high- or medium-priority by the California Department of Water Resources (“DWR”) to manage groundwater in a sustainable manner.

C. The Delta-Mendota Subbasin (Basin Number 5-22.07, DWR Bulletin 118) within the San Joaquin Valley Groundwater Basin (“Subbasin”), has been designated as a high-priority, critically overdrafted basin by DWR.

D. The Subbasin includes multiple groundwater sustainability agencies (each a “GSA” and collectively, the “GSAs”) that initially managed the Subbasin through the development and implementation of six different groundwater sustainability plans.

E. Pursuant to the requirements of SGMA (Wat. Code §§ 10720, et seq.) and DWR’s SGMA regulations (23 Cal. Code Regs., §§ 350, et seq.), and in recognition of the need to sustainably manage the groundwater within the Subbasin, the Parties entered into that certain Delta-Mendota Subbasin Coordination Agreement effective December 12, 2018 (“Coordination Agreement”), to outline the Parties’ obligations and responsibilities regarding SGMA coordination in the Subbasin among the multiple GSAs and multiple groundwater sustainability plans.

F. In 2024, the Parties adopted a single groundwater sustainability plan (“GSP”) to cover the entire Subbasin to comply with SGMA.

G. If there is only one GSP for the Subbasin, then the GSAs no longer need the Coordination Agreement, as defined by SGMA.

H. As part of the development of a single GSP, the Parties adopted a Memorandum of Agreement Among the Delta-Mendota Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Agencies and San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority, effective September 12, 2024 (the “Original MOA”). 3747954v4 / 21603.0005 2
I. Through the Original MOA, the GSAs desired to coordinate the work and management of the Subbasin and clarify responsibilities of the respective GSAs, in accordance with SGMA, and develop a “Coordination Committee” to assist with said efforts.

J. As of December 1, 2025, the Parties entered into that certain “Delta-Mendota Subbasin GSAs Joint Powers Authority Agreement” to create a separate entity known as the DeltaMendota Subbasin GSAs Joint Powers Authority (the “Authority”).

K. The responsibilities of the Coordination Committee created by the Original MOA have been superseded by the Board of Directors of the Authority, rendering the Coordination Committee unnecessary.

L. With the creation of the Authority, the San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority is no longer involved in the coordination of the GSAs in the Subbasin and is therefore no longer a signatory to this MOA.

M. The Parties desire to revise and restate the Original MOA as outlined in this MOA and it is the intent of the Parties that this MOA supersede and replace the Original MOA.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Recitals, which are deemed true and correct and incorporated herein, and of the covenants, terms and conditions set forth herein, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE VI – EXCHANGE OF DATA AND INFORMATION

6.1 Exchange of Data and Information. The Parties acknowledge and recognize pursuant to this MOA that the Parties will need to exchange data and information among and 3747954v4 / 21603.0005 5
between the Parties. Procedures for exchanging of such data and information are outlined in Article XI of the Delta-Mendota Subbasin GSAs Joint Powers Authority Agreement.

ARTICLE VII – MONITORING NETWORK

7.1 In accordance with SGMA, the Parties hereby agree to coordinate to develop and maintain a monitoring network at a Subbasin level. The Subbasin monitoring network description shall include monitoring objectives, protocols, and data reporting requirements specific to enumerated sustainability indicators. Each GSA is responsible for the following:
(a) Operating and maintaining the representative monitoring network within its boundary;
(b) Filling data gaps in its GSA on a defined schedule; (c) Collecting data per the approved Subbasin-wide monitoring protocol; (d) Considering developing and maintaining a supplementary network for collecting data in excess of the minimum need, for the purposes of supporting local management decisions (since the level of detail necessary may not be sufficient in a Subbasin level network); and
(e) Each GSA shall have a minimum of one representative monitoring well (measuring water level and water quality) from each aquifer (above the Corcoran Clay layer – shallow aquifer, or below the Corcoran Clay layer – deep aquifer) in which it has groundwater pumping either within its GSA boundaries or within the area of influence of the pumping that is occurring, sufficient to meet the recommendations of the Subbasinwide GSP consultant.

7.2 The minimum monitoring network shall be based on the evaluation performed by the Subbasin-wide GSP consultant and may change from time to time. The Subbasin-wide GSP consultant shall evaluate the monitoring network to ensure:
(a) There is a proper spatial and temporal coverage to inform a groundwater model;
(b) The level of monitoring is commensurate with the use in an area (e.g., limited monitoring well(s) in areas that do not pump or higher density of survey benchmarks in areas that have numerous deep wells); and (c) The network is balanced, so that should an exceedance occur, it is not biased or weighted as a function of a poorly distributed monitoring network.

ARTICLE VIII – COORDINATED DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

8.1 The Parties developed and currently maintain a coordinated data management system that is capable of storing and reporting information relevant to the reporting requirements and/or implementation of the GSP and monitoring network of the Subbasin. After providing the 3747954v4 / 21603.0005 6
Board of Directors of the Authority with data from the individual GSAs, the Plan Manager will ensure the data is stored and managed in a coordinated manner throughout the Subbasin and reported to DWR annually as required.

ARTICLE IX – ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

9.1 The Parties previously established an “Adaptive Management Framework” applicable to all GSAs in the Subbasin, which is attached hereto as Exhibit “C” and incorporated herein by this reference.

9.3 As part of the Adaptive Management Framework, each Party commits to continue to evaluate and implement projects and management actions (“P&MAs”) within its boundaries to reach sustainability in compliance with SGMA.

ARTICLE X – MODIFICATION OF THIS MOA

10.1 Addition of a Party. A Party may be added to this MOA only upon the unanimous vote of Board of Directors of the Authority at a regular or special meeting, the Party’s execution of a counterpart of this MOA, and its provision of any additional documentation required by this MOA. No Party may be added that is not a GSA within the Subbasin or that fails to share in Coordinated Plan Expenses.

10.2 Modification or Amendment of this MOA. The Parties hereby agree that this MOA may be supplemented, amended, or modified only by a writing signed by all Parties.

10.3 Amendment for Compliance with Law. Should any provision of this MOA be determined to not be in compliance with legal requirements under circumstances where amendment of the MOA to include a provision addressing the legal requirement will cure the noncompliance, the Parties agree to promptly prepare and shall not unreasonably withhold approval of such amendment.

ARTICLE XI – WITHDRAWAL, TERM, AND TERMINATION

11.1 Withdrawal. A Party may unilaterally withdraw from this MOA without causing or requiring termination of this MOA, effective upon one (1) year written notice to the Authority’s Secretary and all other Parties. The Plan Manager shall report any such withdrawal to DWR and/or the State Water Board within five (5) days of receipt of the written notice.

Any Party who withdraws shall remain obligated for Coordinated Plan Expenses.

The withdrawing Party is obligated to pay its share of all debts, liabilities, and obligations the Party incurred or accrued under the MOA prior to the effective date of such withdrawal, which is one (1) year after providing written notice to the Secretary and all other Parties, and as also may be 3747954v4 / 21603.0005 7
established under its separate GSA Group agreement, as applicable, concerning such share of obligations.

Upon withdrawal, a Party agrees that it has a continuing obligation to comply with SGMA and any coordination guidelines and regulations issued by DWR, which require a coordination agreement if there are multiple groundwater sustainability plans in the Subbasin. This obligation shall survive the withdrawal from this MOA and is for the express benefit of the remaining Parties.

11.2 Termination. This MOA may be terminated or rescinded by the unanimous written consent of all Parties. Nothing in this MOA shall prevent the Parties from entering into a coordination agreement for coordination with any other subbasin.

ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK FOR THE SUBBASIN
The Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (“GSAs”) in the Delta-Mendota Subbasin (the “Subbasin”) acknowledge that the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (“SGMA”) has a long-term horizon to achieve sustainability and that management of the Subbasin will require an iterative process on the part of the GSAs and the Board of Directors of the Authority to review groundwater conditions at least annually and propose revisions to underlying data, methodologies, assumptions, sustainable management criteria, projects, management actions, and other Subbasinwide coordinated information as necessary to meet changing conditions. Accordingly, the GSAs in the Subbasin establish the following framework for addressing MT exceedances in the SGMA implementation period, as will be further described in the adopted GSP:

1. As a Subbasin-wide Activity, the Subbasin-wide GSP Consultant shall initiate a review of Subbasin-wide data within sixty (60) days after that data is due to be submitted by each GSA (the “Review”). As reporting dates vary based upon the Sustainable Management Criteria (“SMC”), this Review will be done on a regular basis and will be a regular agenda item on the Authority’s Board of Directors agenda.

2. The Review shall take into account all matters to be considered in the Annual Report pursuant to the DWR Regulations, section 356.2, including, but not limited to, changes in groundwater elevation, groundwater storage, subsidence, water quality and the status of minimum thresholds (“MTs”) and interim milestones in the Subbasin GSP.

3. Should GSA activities result in either a) a pattern of data showing a downward trend (towards a MT exceedance), or b) a MT exceedance, the Authority (at the recommendation of the Plan Manager, a designated subcommittee, or the Subbasin-wide GSP Consultant) shall immediately notify the GSA and add the downward trend or exceedance information to the next Authority’s Board of Directors agenda packet. That GSA shall also be provided with a checklist to help evaluate possible causes of the MT downward trend or exceedance.

4. The GSA may request the Subbasin-wide GSP Consultant to coordinate such trend or exceedance information with that GSA’s own consultant, as applicable. Within thirty (30) days of said notice, the GSA shall present a plan of action to the Board of Directors of the Authority to address how the GSA will mitigate any downward trend or exceedance and in what timeframe.

The intent is for the Board of Directors of the Authority to discuss the mitigation plan in an effort to provide helpful ideas to the GSA. However, the GSA is solely responsible for the management actions within its boundaries and the costs to remedy the cause of the MT exceedance if it is attributed to activities occurring within such GSA’s jurisdictional boundaries and/or that GSA is not operating within its Sustainable Yield (the “Responsible GSA”). At its sole cost and expense, the Responsible GSA may ask the Subbasin-wide GSP Consultant to further determine: (a) what caused the exceedance; (b) whether or not the Responsible GSA has control over the cause of the MT downward trend or exceedance; (c) whether it is an intra-basin impact from another GSA or an inter-basin impact by a neighboring subbasin; and (d) whether or not the MT exceedance caused injury.
3747954v4 / 21603.0005 19

5. If there is a determination by the Subbasin-wide GSP Consultant that any MT downward trend or exceedance was caused by intra-basin impacts from another GSA within the Subbasin, such determination will be brought back to the Authority’s Board of Directorsfor further discussion and potential Subbasin-wide action. The Authority’s Board of Directors will work with other GSAs to increase existing GSA coordination to remedy the issues causing the downward trend or exceedance and to remedy the responsibility of costs associated with identifying and mitigating the exceedance.

6. If there is a determination that any MT exceedance was caused by a neighboring subbasin, this should be brought back to the Board of Directors of the Authority for further discussion and potential Subbasin-wide action. Costs for initial investigation by the Subbasin-wide GSP Consultant of a MT downward trend or exceedance across Subbasin boundary lines (such as water quality issues, subsidence, or depletion of interconnected surface waters) shall be shared pursuant to the Participation Percentages of the Authority (i.e. 1/7th each). The Authority’s Board of Directors will work with other subbasins to expand existing inter-basin coordination to remedy the issues causing the downward trends or exceedances.

7. In the event that the GSA is unable to mitigate or avoid future MT exceedances with its existing projects and management actions (“P&MAs”) and within the timeframe presented to the Authority’s Board of Directors, the GSA may seek assistance from the Authority. The Board of Directors of the Authority may recommend policies or programs to the GSA that the GSA could, in its discretion, adopt to remedy the existence of a MT exceedance and to avoid undesirable results. Furthermore, the Board of Directors of the Authority may consider setting triggers in the GSP for GSAs to implement management actions [e.g., sequencing P&MAs] or work on alternative options.

706.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this policy is to establish a system of accountability to ensure [department/office] vehicles are used appropriately.

Return to Agenda
706.4.4 ASSIGNED VEHICLES
Assignment of take-home vehicles shall be based on the location of the member’s residence, the nature of the member’s duties, job description and essential functions, and employment or appointment status. Residence in the City of Firebaugh is a prime consideration for assignment of a take-home vehicle. Members who reside outside the City of Firebaugh may be required to secure the vehicle at a designated location or the [Department/Office] at the discretion of the Chief of Police. [Department/Office] members shall sign a take-home vehicle agreement that outlines certain standards, including, but not limited to, how the vehicle shall be used, where it shall be parked when the member is not on-duty, vehicle maintenance responsibilities and member enforcement actions.

Members are cautioned that under federal and local tax rules, personal use of a City vehicle may create an income tax liability for the member. Questions regarding tax rules should be directed to the member’s tax adviser.

Criteria for use of take-home vehicles include the following:
a) Vehicles shall only be used for work-related purposes and shall not be used for personal errands or transports, unless special circumstances exist and the Chief of Police or a Sergeant gives authorization. b) Vehicles may be used to transport the member to and from the member’s residence for work-related purposes.
c) Vehicles will not be used when off-duty except:

1. In circumstances when a member has been placed on call by the Chief of Police or Sergeant s and there is a high probability that the member will be called back to duty.

2. When the member is performing a work-related function during what normally would be an off-duty period, including vehicle maintenance or travelling to or from a work-related activity or function.

3. When the member has received permission from the Chief of Police or Sergeant s.

4. When the vehicle is being used by the Chief of Police, Sergeant s or members who are in on-call administrative positions.

5. When the vehicle is being used by on-call investigators. d) While operating the vehicle, authorized members will carry and have accessible their duty firearms and be prepared to perform any function they would be expected to perform while on-duty. e) The two-way communications radio, MDT and global positioning satellite device, if equipped, must be on and set to an audible volume when the vehicle is in operation. f) Unattended vehicles are to be locked and secured at all times.

1. No key should be left in the vehicle except when it is necessary that the vehicle be left running (e.g., continued activation of emergency lights, canine safety, equipment charging).

2. All weapons shall be secured while the vehicle is unattended.

3. All [department/office] identification, portable radios and equipment should be secured.
g) Vehicles are to be parked off-street at the member’s residence unless prior arrangements have been made with the Chief of Police or the authorized designee. If the vehicle is not secured inside a locked garage, all firearms and kinetic impact weapons shall be removed and properly secured in the residence (see the Firearms Policy regarding safe storage of firearms at home). h) Vehicles are to be secured at the member’s residence or the appropriate [department/office] facility, at the discretion of the [Department/Office] when a member will be away (e.g., on vacation) for periods exceeding one week.

1. If the vehicle remains at the residence of the member, the [Department/Office] shall have access to the vehicle.

2. If the member is unable to provide access to the vehicle, it shall be parked at the [Department/Office].
i) The member is responsible for the care and maintenance of the vehicle. 706.4.5 ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS
When driving a take-home vehicle to and from work outside of the jurisdiction of the Firebaugh Police Department or while off-duty, an officer shall not initiate enforcement actions except in those circumstances where a potential threat to life or serious property damage exists (see the Off-Duty Law Enforcement Actions and Law Enforcement Authority policies).

Officers may render public assistance when it is deemed prudent (e.g., to a stranded motorist).

Officers driving take-home vehicles shall be armed, appropriately attired and carry their [department/office]- issued identification. Officers should also ensure that [department/office] radio communication capabilities are maintained to the extent feasible.
706.4.6 MAINTENANCE
Members are responsible for the cleanliness (exterior and interior) and overall maintenance of their assigned vehicles. Cleaning and maintenance supplies will be provided by the [Department/Office]. Failure to adhere to these requirements may result in discipline and loss of vehicle assignment. The following should be performed as outlined below:
a) Members shall make daily inspections of their assigned vehicles for service/maintenance requirements and damage.
b) It is the member's responsibility to ensure that the assigned vehicle is maintained according to the established service and maintenance schedule.
c) All scheduled vehicle maintenance and car washes shall be performed as necessary at a facility approved by the [department/office] supervisor in charge of vehicle maintenance. d) The [Department/Office] shall be notified of problems with the vehicle and approve any major repairs before they are performed.
e) When leaving the vehicle at the maintenance facility, the member will complete a vehicle repair card explaining the service or repair, and leave it on the seat or dash. f) All weapons shall be removed from any vehicle left for maintenance. g) Supervisors shall make, at a minimum, monthly inspections of vehicles assigned to members under their command to ensure the vehicles are being maintained in accordance with this policy. 706.5 UNMARKED VEHICLES
Vehicles are assigned to various sections and their use is restricted to the respective section and the assigned member, unless otherwise approved by a section supervisor. Any member operating an unmarked vehicle shall record vehicle usage on the sign-out log maintained in the section for that purpose. Any use of unmarked vehicles by those who are not assigned to the section to which the vehicle is assigned shall also record the use with the Sergeant on the shift assignment roster.
706.6 DAMAGE, ABUSE AND MISUSE
When any [department/office] vehicle is involved in a traffic collision or otherwise incurs damage, the involved member shall promptly notify a supervisor. Any traffic collision report shall be filed with the agency having jurisdiction (see the Traffic Collision Reporting Policy).

Damage to any [department/office] vehicle that was not caused by a traffic collision shall be immediately reported during the shift in which the damage was discovered, documented in memorandum format and forwarded to the Sergeant . An administrative investigation should be initiated to determine if there has been any vehicle abuse or misuse.

SUBJECT: Request for Approval of Three-Year Contract – PAUL MAURER SHOWS (PMS) for Firebaugh Cantaloupe Round-Up
This memo requests City Council’s approval to enter into a new three-year contract with PAUL MAURER SHOWS for carnival services at the Firebaugh Cantaloupe Round-Up.

The previous agreement with PAUL MAURER SHOWS will expire this year. Over the term of the prior contract, the company consistently provided safe, reliable, and high-quality carnival attractions that significantly contributed to the success and positive reputation of the Cantaloupe Round-Up. Their professional operations, compliance with safety regulations, and cooperative working relationship with City staff have made them a valued partner.

Entering into a new three-year agreement will provide continuity and stability for Cantaloupe RoundUp planning, allow for early coordination of logistics and promotions, and help secure competitive pricing in an increasingly challenging event services market. A multi-year contract also ensures consistency in the level of entertainment and operational standards our community has come to expect.

The proposed agreement will maintain similar terms and conditions as the previous contract, with any necessary updates to reflect current insurance, safety, and operational requirements. Staff recommends approval in order to proceed with timely planning for the upcoming carnival season.
