REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
March 1, 2022
FROM SCOTT CROSS, City Attorney

SUBJECT
APPROVE Resolution No. 2548, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Fowler Authorizing Continued Use of Remote Teleconferencing for City Council Meetings and Commission Meetings During Declared Stare of Emergency in Accordance with Government Code Section 54953 as amended by AB 361

RECOMMENDATION
Approve Resolution No. 2548 if the City Council makes the findings required by Government Code Section 54953(e)(3) to continue to allow City Council members to attend City Council meetings via remote teleconferencing without following typical Brown Act requirements for teleconference participation by City Council members at City Council meetings. The Resolution also authorizes the City’s other commissions to continue meeting remotely for as long as the City Council authorizes.

BACKGROUND
The City Council approved Resolution No. 2522 on October 19, 2021, authorizing remote teleconferencing for City Council and City commission meetings in accordance with Government Code Section 54953 as amended by AB 361 during the COVID-19 declared emergency. To continue with the “relaxed” remote teleconferencing for City Council and other commission meetings Government Code Section 54953 requires the City Council to make findings every 30 days that (1) it has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency, and either (a) the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person, or (b) state or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing. 17 APPROVE Resolution No. 2548
March 1, 2022

Fowler City Council meetings are currently conducted in a manner that allows the public and Council members to attend in person or via teleconference in compliance with applicable legal requirements.

Approving this resolution would not change the way members of the public are allowed to participate in meetings (both in-person and teleconference attendance is allowed) and would also allow City Council members to continue to attend meetings via teleconference, if desired, without complying with the typical Brown Act requirements for teleconferencing attendance at City Council meetings.

The proclaimed COVID-19 emergency is still in effect and there may be occasions when the proclaimed emergency directly impacts the ability of members of the public or Council members to meet safely in person. Also, some state and local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing. As a result, the necessary findings can be made, if desired, to continue with remote teleconferencing for City Council and other commission meetings. These findings must be made every 30 days to continue with the relaxed Brown Act teleconference requirements.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.

FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact is anticipated whether this Resolution is approved or not.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Staff is not aware of any conflicts of interest.

STATE OF EMERGENCY IN ACCORANCE WITH GOVENRMENT CODE SECTION 54953 AS AMENDED BY AB 361
WHEREAS, on March 4, 2020, the Governor of California declared a state of emergency in the State as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution 2461, approved by the Fowler City Council on March 17, 2020, the City Council declared a local emergency as a result of the threatened spread of COVID-19 in the City, surrounding areas, and the state; and WHEREAS, on March 17, 2020, with the issuance of Executive Order N-29-20, the Governor suspended certain provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act in order to allow local legislative bodies to conduct meetings telephonically or by other remote means; and WHEREAS, on June 11, 2021, the Governor issued Executive Order N-08-21, which placed an end date of September 30, 2021, for agencies to meet remotely; and WHEREAS, AB 361 was enacted on September 16, 2021, enacting certain changes to the Brown Act for teleconferencing and remote participation at public meetings as set forth in Government Code Section 54953; and
WHEREAS, the state of emergency proclaimed by the Governor on March 4, 2020, has not been rescinded and remains in effect; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that teleconferencing from remote locations by the public and City Council members has not limited participation of members of the public, Council members, or other attendees at City Council or other City commission meetings; and WHEREAS, on October 19, 2021, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2522 authorizing remote teleconferencing for City Council and City commission meetings in accordance with Government Code Section 54953 as amended by AB 361; and WHEREAS, Government Code Section 54953, as amended by AB 361, requires the City Council to make certain findings every 30 days after approving Resolution No. 2522 in order to continue with remote teleconferencing.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Fowler as follows:

B. State or local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
March 1, 2022
FROM Scott Cross, City Attorney

SUBJECT
APPROVE Resolution No. 2549 opposing State Ballot Initiative 21-0042A1.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend the City Council approve a resolution opposing State Ballot Initiative 21-0042A1.

BACKGROUND
The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act initiative (“Measure”) is a proposed State ballot initiative for the November 2022 statewide ballot. The Measure has not yet qualified for the state ballot and will have to complete several steps before doing so. It has been submitted to the State Attorney General for an official title and summary. A full analysis of the Measure has not yet been performed but based on a preliminary review and analysis Cal Cities is requesting cities adopt a resolution opposing the Measure to demonstrate how harmful it would be to cities.

The Measure proposes to amend the State Constitution to change the method by which local governments may impose taxes, fees, assessment, development impact fees and other charges. The Measure expands the definition of taxes to include some charges that are currently fees and other charges. As a result, the Measure could increase the number of city fees and charges that would be subject to voter approval. If placed on the ballot and passed by the voters, the Measure appears to make it more difficult for cities to implement or increase taxes and fees and could potentially lead to a decrease in current City revenue and make it more costly and time-consuming for the City to impose or increase various taxes, fees, and assessments.
21 APPROVE Resolution No. 2549
March 1, 2022

The Measure’s Changes to Local Taxes
The Measure expands the definition of taxes to include some charges that local governments currently treat as fees and other charges. For example, certain charges imposed for a benefit or privilege granted to a payer but not granted to those not charged, such as a parking permit or a tobacco license, could potentially no longer be considered fees. As a result, the Measure could increase the number of City levies subject to the vote requirements for taxes.

The Measure also seeks to overturn the California Supreme Court decision in Upland, where the court held that special taxes imposed by ballot initiative are immune from the two-thirds voter approval requirement. (Cannabis Coalition v. City of Upland (2017) 3 Cal.5th 924.) The Measure would establish the same two-thirds approval requirements for increasing local special taxes, whether the tax is sought by the governing body or the electorate.

Lastly, the Measure requires all tax measures identify the type and amount or rate of the tax and the duration of the tax. General tax measures must state that the revenue can be used for general purposes.

The Measure’s Changes to Local Fees
The Measure requires fees to be imposed by a majority vote of the governing body and restricts the ability of local governments to delegate fee changes to City departments. Any fee approved between January 1, 2022, and the effective date of the Measure would be nullified unless if fulfills the requirements of the measure.

For some categories of fees, the Measure requires that the fee be both reasonable and reflect the actual costs to the local government of providing the service. The Measure defines “actual costs” as the “minimum amount necessary.” Existing fees already are limited to the agency’s actual costs of providing the service. In some instances, the actual costs are reasonably approximated and supported by fee studies. The Measure may make fee challenges more likely by requiring local agencies to provide ‘clear and convincing’ evidence (a higher burden of proof than currently required) that the fee meets this threshold. The City would also bear the burden of providing clear and convincing evidence that the charge is a ‘fee’ and not a tax subject to a vote by the electorate.

The Measure could impact current franchise fees paid by USA Waste, current and future development impact fees, and other fees and assessments currently imposed by the City. The potential impact may not be known for many years due to possible legal challenges.

The Measure also forbids any local agency from imposing any fee, charge, or exaction related to vehicle miles traveled (VMT) as a condition of property development or occupancy.

Impact to the City from the Measure
If the Measure is successful, the City will likely find it more difficult to raise revenue through taxes and various fees for services provided. The City may also experience a decrease in current fee revenue if it is required to reduce fees to ensure that they are the “minimum amount necessary”.

Estimating the actual costs may also require additional work for City departments and 22 APPROVE Resolution No. 2549
March 1, 2022

contracting with costly consultants to prepare fee justification studies that can survive the greater risk of legal challenge and the higher burden of proof the City will have to satisfy if challenged.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact from the adoption of this resolution.

RESOLUTION NO. 2549

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FOWLER
OPPOSING PROPOSED STATE BALLOT INITIATIVE 21-0042A1
WHEREAS, the California Business Roundtable, an association representing California’s wealthiest corporations, has proposed State Ballot Initiative 21-0042A1 (“Measure”) to be included in the November 2022 statewide ballot;
WHEREAS, Cal Cities has reviewed the proposed Measure and is requesting cities adopt a resolution opposing the proposed Measure; and
WHEREAS, the Measure, if approved, would amend the California Constitution by restricting local agencies’ ability to charge corporations for the impacts they have on communities, including local infrastructure, the environment, water quality, air quality, and natural resources; WHEREAS, the Measure includes provisions that would make it more difficult for local voters to pass tax measures needed to fund local services and infrastructure, and would limit voter input by prohibiting local advisory measures where voters provide direction on how they want their local tax dollars spent;
WHEREAS, the Measure, if approved, would make it more difficult for state and local regulators to issue fines and levies on corporations that violate laws intended to protect the environment, public health and safety, and neighborhoods; WHEREAS, the Measure, if approved, could put billions of dollars currently dedicated to state and local services at risk, and could force cuts to public schools, fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, parks, libraries, affordable housing, services to support homeless residents, mental health services, and more;
WHEREAS, the Measure could also reduce funding for critical infrastructure like streets and roads, public transportation, drinking water, new school facilities, sanitation, and utilities by making it more difficult for agencies to increase fees as needed to provide adequate funding; WHEREAS, the Measure could cause a reduction in local agency revenue from taxes and fees that were already approved by local voters and the local agency, including local tax measures, franchise fees, development impact fees, and other fees and assessments; and the Measure will likely make imposing or increasing already approved fees and assessment more difficult with increased justification requirements, staff time, and the need to retain costly consultants to prepare more burdensome fee and assessment justification studies, and also make challenges to city fees, assessments and exactions more likely;
WHEREAS, the extent of the Measure’s restrictions on local agencies’ ability to properly raise revenue for public services are still unknown and, if the Measure is approved, will likely result in years of litigation in the courts to determine their overall effects and impact on local tax measures and fees. 24 2
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Fowler:

1. That the City of Fowler opposes State Ballot Initiative 21-0042A1.

2. The City of Fowler will join the No on Initiative 21-0042A1 coalition which is comprised of a growing number of cities, local government agencies, public safety, labor, infrastructure advocates, and other organizations throughout the state.

3. Staff is directed to forward a copy of this adopted resolution to Cal Cities at [email protected].

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
March 1, 2022
FROM DARIO DOMINGUEZ, Public Works Director

SUBJECT
WORKSHOP on a proposed Capital Improvement Plan

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend the City Council provide staff feedback during this workshop.

BACKGROUND
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a tool for medium-term fiscal forecasting of major expenditures across multiple fund sources. These expenditures may be infrastructure in nature, administrative, or planning initiatives. As a CIP has not been brought forward in the past for adoption, Staff felt it was important for the City Council to provide feedback prior to budget introduction. The CIP will return to City Council for adoption during the Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget process.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This does not constitute a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact as no action is being taken.

CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FOWLER
ITEM NO: 8-Aii

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
March 1, 2022
FROM MARGARITA MORENO, Finance Director

SUBJECT
WORKSHOP on consolidation of City fees into a Master Fee Schedule

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend the City Council provide staff feedback during this workshop.

BACKGROUND
Currently, the City’s fees for services are codified across multiple ordinances and resolutions. Whereas some fees are codified by ordinance, others are codified by resolution. Some fees are evaluated and updated regularly, whereas others have not been evaluated in many years. Staff are in the process of developing a Master Fee Schedule to consolidate all fees for services into a singular document with references to the various ordinances and resolutions enacting those fees. As fees are adopted or modified, they will be presented to City Council as an amendment to the Master Fee Schedule.

Additionally, staff plan to bring a full review of the Master Fee Schedule to City Council each December.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This does not constitute a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. 32 WORKSHOP on consolidation of City fees into a Master Fee Schedule March 1, 2022

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact as no action is being taken.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Staff is not aware of any conflicts of interest.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
March 1, 2022
FROM MARGARITA MORENO, Finance Director

SUBJECT
APPROVE Resolution No. 2550 amending the City’s salary classification schedule and Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget to include a 2% Cost of Living (COLA) salary adjustment effective March 1, 2022

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend the City Council approve Resolution No. 2550 amending the City’s salary classification schedule and Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget to include a 2% COLA salary adjustment effective March 1, 2022.

BACKGROUND
Historically, the City has provided its employees an annual 2% COLA. The last 2% COLA was approved by Council and implemented in August 2020. Approval of this COLA will be taken into consideration when the classification and compensation study recommendations are taken to Council later this Spring.

The proposed salary classification schedule reflets a 2% COLA increase across each salary step for all full-time salaried positions. The COLA would be effective March 1, 2022 and paid beginning with the March 15, 2022 pay warrants.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. 46 Approve Resolution No. 2550
March 1, 2022

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact would be approximately $3,300 per pay period, which is $13,200 for the remaining four months of fiscal year 2021-22. The increased cost will be offset with current savings in the budget as presented to Council during the mid-year budget update.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Staff is not aware of any conflicts of interest.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
March 1, 2022
FROM DAVID PETERS, City Engineer

SUBJECT
APPROVE a Side Letter Amendment to the Subdivision Agreement for Tract 5952 to address park and pipeline construction timing.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend the City Council approve a Side Letter Amendment to the Subdivision Agreement for Tract 5952 to address park and pipeline construction timing.

BACKGROUND
Tract 5952 (K. Hovnanian Homes) is located at the southwest corner of East South Avenue and South Sunnyside Avenue.

The tentative map (approved May 7, 2019) for this project did not include phasing and proposed the project in its entirety as a single phase. The developer has now proposed to construct the project in two phases. Phase 1 will include 73 single family homes. Phase 2 will include the remaining 70 single family homes.

The project requires replacement of the Consolidated Irrigation District (CID) pipeline spanning the southern portion of the tract and development of approximately 2 acres of recreational space. The recreation space will include a linear park consisting of turf and landscaping and an active park area which will include benches, play structure and other park amenities. 50 Approve a Side Letter Amendment to the Subdivision Agreement for Tract 5952 March 1, 2022

The subdivision agreement was silent on timing of park and pipeline improvements due to the absence of a prior phasing plan. Based upon construction windows available for working on CID facilities, the developer is proposing the timing of the park and pipeline improvements be constructed as follows:

The active park area will be completed prior to the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy in Phase 1. The remaining linear park improvements and replacement of the CID pipeline will be completed prior to issuance of the first certificate of occupancy in Phase 2, or one year after the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy in Phase 1, whichever occurs first.

Staff concurs with the scheduling of these improvements because it provides for the earliest completion of the park and pipeline facilities within the available construction window provided by CID.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.

FISCAL IMPACT
This item involves timing of developer funded improvements and does not have a fiscal impact for the City.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Staff is not aware of any conflicts of interest.

Subject: Side Letter Amendment to the Subdivision Agreement for Tract 5952 The City of Fowler and K Hovnanian Homes entered into a Subdivision Agreement for Tract 5952 on or about November 3, 2021, which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference (“Subdivision Agreement”). This Side Letter is intended to amend the Subdivision Agreement for Tract 5952.

The tentative map approved (May 7th, 2019) for this project did not include phasing and proposed the project in its entirety as a single phase. The developer has now proposed to construct the project in two phases. Phase 1 will include 73 single family homes. Phase 2 will include the remaining 70 single family homes.

The project requires replacement of the Consolidated Irrigation District (CID) pipeline spanning the southern portion of the tract and development of approximately 2 acres of recreational space.

The recreation space will include a linear park consisting of turf and landscaping and an active park area which will include benches, play structure and other park amenities.

The timing of the park and pipeline improvements shall occur as follows:

The active park area will be completed prior to the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy in Phase 1. The remaining linear park improvements and replacement of the CID pipeline will be completed prior to issuance of the first certificate of occupancy in Phase 2, or one year after the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy in Phase 1, whichever occurs first.

All other terms, conditions, and obligations of the Subdivision Agreement not amended herein remain unchanged and in full force and effect, including all provisions for completion, inspection, approval, acceptance, security, insurance, and indemnification.

Nothing in this Side Letter changes conditions related to the issuance of certificates of 52 Side Letter Amendment to Subdivision Agreement for Tract 5952 March 1, 2022

occupancy for production homes as outlined in the Subdivision Agreement. All infrastructure improvements must be “substantially complete” within each phase as defined by the Subdivision Agreement, including, but not limited to, interior and exterior roads, park improvements, landscaping and undergrounding of utilities prior to issuance of Certificates of Occupancy for homes in said phase.

Now, therefore, the City and K. Hovnanian California Region, Inc. have executed this Side Letter Amendment on the date(s) set forth below.
