AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 5/2/2023 AGENDA SECTION: STUDY SESSION

SUBJECT:

Presentation and Review of potential projects to include in Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for upcoming fiscal year 2024 and 2025 Budget and Direction from Council on which projects to prioritize.

Recommendation: Staff recommends that City Council receive a presentation for fiscal years ending June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2025 for proposed capital improvement projects (CIP) and provide direction on any changes in project priorities.

Recommended Motion: No motion is required. City Council recommendations or directions are requested at this time.

Outlook and Background:

Overall background
The City of Hanford adopts a two-year (biennial) budget. Part of this is a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that outlines what capital projects will be done by the City in the upcoming budget period. Fiscal years (FY) 2024 (7/1/2023-6/30/2024) and FY2025 (7/1/2024-6/30/2025) are the upcoming budget years to have an adopted budget. The City adopts a plan for future projects in FY26, FY27 and FY28, anything outside the FY24 and FY25 budget years have no appropriation or authorization to spend (listed for planning purposes).

Staff will review CIP with City Council over the course of the two meetings in May, this meeting and on May 16. Staff have and will meet multiple times prior to Council discussion to work on a balanced and sustainable budget. The schedule for staff budget review with Council is as follows:

May 2, 2023 - CIP Review (General Fund, Other Funds)
May 16, 2023 - CIP Review (Other Funds), Potentially Operating Budget Review June 6, 2023 - Operating Budget Review
June 20, 2023 - Public Hearing: Budget Adoption, Gann/Appropriation Limit Adoption

The General Fund:

The General Fund is the City's most discretionary funding source that receives revenues from Sales Tax, Property Taxes, Business Tax, Transient Occupancy Tax among other revenues including fees for recovery of costs. There are several areas of essential services that are paid for out of the

Page 4 of 112 ends

General Fund including Policy, Fire, Streets, Administration, Parks/Recreation and Planning/Community Development.

This upcoming budget looks to be very tight for the City's General Fund, it will be a challenge to have a balanced budget, as required by Council-adopted resolution. In addition, economic forecasts indicate a slow down in revenue increases, so cost increases due to inflation and salary increases may be hard pressed to be fully offset. For the past several years, the City has been 'tightening its belt', and in the upcoming budget presentations staff will be looking to tighten even further. However, there are limits as to what can be done as personnel costs are the majority of costs and there are essential costs of operating that must be covered. All non-fixed costs will be scrutinized by staff.

Proving to be a significant challenge to balancing the City's General Fund is the $12.5 million settlement agreed to in early 2023 of which $7.5 million has already been paid. This depleted the GF reserve to approximately 6%, well below a 30% goal. The remaining $5 million must be paid over the next four years at $1.25 million annually.

Below shows preliminary approximate budget deficits faced by the City's General Fund in the upcoming 2-year budget cycle:

FY24 - $1+ million
FY25 - $2+ million

A committee of staff from each department has ranked the General Fund CIP according to the following criteria and made recommendations based on priority for funding on these priorities and timing needs. These recommended rankings are also for the Council's consideration when looking at authorizing funding for CIP. Due to the projected tight budget, no projects are recommended to be funded from the General Fund unless they are offset by grants or reserves, or of utmost need (see attachment "Project Ranking")

CITY OF HANFORD

General Fund Project Ranking Level Ranking Sub Ranking

1: Highest of highest importance, operational impact A: Health and Safety

2: Useful but lower priority B: Highly desirable, useful

3: Improvements but can wait

Overall for the General Fund, the following principles are recommended:

- No General Fund CIP unless absolutely considered essential - No new positions unless fully offset by new revenues or proven cost reductions - Fees are recommended to offset costs as much as possible - No new spending from prior budget unless a health or safety issue necessitates a purchase - Adhering to purchasing procedures for optimal pricing on purchases - Personnel costs are included at top step of pay in order to anticipate typical unknowns or changes that may occur (there may be some salary savings at year end which helps maintain a balanced budget and will help the City recover its reserve)
- After budget adoption, staff will look tor enhance cost allocations to offset General Fund costs in order to confirm other funds pay their appropriate share

Page 5 of 112 ends

- As needed and available, re-allocate reserves for CIP priority projects. Although this will delay other projects/needs, higher priority needs can be funded without currently impacting the General Fund

A structurally deficit budget is something that should not occur per City Council resolution, plus it is not sound fiscal practice and unsustainable in the long term. Should a balanced budget prove especially challenging, staff will consider the following recommendations (among others not listed):
- Defer reserve (set asides) for future purchases (such as vehicles, equipment and facilities) - Enact freeze on any new positions in the General Fund until a balanced budget is adopted - Freeze vacant General Fund positions unless essential for ongoing operations

Enterprise Funds, Special Revenue Funds and Other Funds Similar principles of budgeting apply to these other areas of the City's budget. However, for enterprise funds rates paid by users offset the costs of service. The City's primary Enterprise Funds are Water, Sewer, Storm Drain and Refuse. Some of the City's Special Revenue Funds are Gas Tax, Road Rehabilitation Account, Transportation Development Act, and CDBG. In almost all cases it is important to remember, these funds do not pay for General Fund activities and should support their own activities.

A budget will in most cases be balanced (covered by revenues coming in) but capital needs will need to be prioritized in order to maintain a healthy reserve (15% goal for other funds) for fiscal emergencies and adequate coverage for debt service. Funds outside of the General Fund may only be used for specific purposes. Consideration of what resources are available for investment in capital projects is an important effort as covered by tonight's review of a draft Capital Improvement Program.

For Enterprise and Internal Service Funds, the following are noteworthy observations:
- Transportation funds are limited, projects need to be prioritized~ General Fund is an option but not recommended as there are many other demands for that funding- CIP needs to be prioritized by Fund in order to have financial sustainability, planning years are useful to line up projects for grants or opportunities to advance should funding become available - Rate studies will be conducted for Water, Sewer and Storm Drain during the upcoming fiscal year - The Housing Division is offset partially by CDBG and other housing funds (federal and state), however, the General Fund must pay for any portion not offset (approximately $150,000 the last couple of years)
- Allocations/costs charged to Enterprise Funds will be reviewed to consider most complete cost recovery to the General Fund

Fiscal Impact:

This item is to review how the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) will be budgeted for FY24 and FY25 and planned through the following three years, FY26, FY27 and FY28. The Council may make changes as it desires before, at budget adoption or anytime thereafter.

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 5/2/2023 AGENDA SECTION: STUDY SESSION

SUBJECT:

Presentation regarding existing and future Downtown lighting and discussion and Council direction regarding the Repair and Replacement Strategy

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: That the City Council provide guidance to staff on the desired character and design of lighting in the downtown for the purpose of future repair and replacement.

BACKGROUND:

Hanford’s Downtown has had decorative lights for many decades. A review of historical photographs indicates that the lights have had a consistent character but the location, color, and types of lights have changed several times since their inclusion in the Downtown.

Currently, the City has several decorative lights in the downtown area that will need to be repaired or replaced as part of the regular maintenance process or as part of future projects. Prior to the installation of any lights, a Historic Resource Permit will be needed. Before the need for that process arises, staff is chosing to seek guidance on potential design options that should be considered when replacing and repairing lights in the downtown.

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 5/2/2023 AGENDA SECTION: STUDY SESSION

SUBJECT:

Discussion of the history of City support for the Hanford Chamber of Commerce and Council consideration of the reformation of a Council Ad-Hoc subcommittee to work with the Chamber on the possibility of future City support

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: That the City Council receive the report, discuss the possible reformation of an Ad-Hoc subcommittee, and consider the budget impact of a possible future contract on the City's General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Hanford has a long history of supporting the Chamber of Commerce. However, over the course of that relationship, various Councils have regularly requested Council agenda items to consider contract terms and the amount of compensation to be provided to the Chamber up to, and including, termination of various contracts.

In July of 2021, the relationship reached the point that the Council was weighing the option of reducing the contract payment or even ending the subsidy altogether. Accordingly, the Council appointed two (2) Council members (Morrow and Saltray) to an Ad-Hoc subcommittee, which also included City Manager, to meet with the Chamber board to work on possible contract amendments.

Over the course of a couple of months, the subcommittee met and requested budget documents from the Chamber and reviewed at least ten (10) years of history and agreements between the Chamber and the City, which are attached. It was determined that, while the Chamber has a history of struggles, their current leadership has placed the organization on a path to be able to operate without City funding. The subcommittee met with the representatives from the Chamber and discussed the current budget and the needs of the Chamber. During those meetings, the Chamber acknowledged that it could operate on less funding than what the City had been providing at that time. Ultimately, the subcommittee chose to recommend to the full Council that the contract be terminated. On October 19, 2021, the Council supported the subcommittee's recommendation to terminate the contract with the Chamber and moved to end the contract at the end of the current term effective June 30, 2022.

At the October 4, 2022 City Council meeting, the Chamber requested that the Council consider reforming a committee to work with the Chamber on the possibility of a future contract and some level of compensation. There was Council consideration to bring back an item to discuss the reformation of a subcommittee and that is the reason that this matter is being reconsidered.

Page 11 of 112 ends

Local governments' subsidies for area Chambers of Commerce, which help small businesses with various services, are getting more scrutiny from local officials. Especially in these difficult fiscal climates where cities are struggling to provide essential services to the community. Despite common misconceptions, a Chamber of Commerce is more akin to a fraternal organization; in most cases, a Chamber of Commerce does not receive public or governmental funding – a large majority of Chambers of Commerce, existing today, survive as a result of donations and membership dues.

Cities up and down the state of California are having to make difficult financial decisions and many of them have chosen to forgo funding for Chambers of Commerce.

During the March 21, 2023 Review of the FY 2022-23 Mid-Year budget and the April 4,2023 presentation of the City's Audit, staff made it clear to Council that the Helena settlement had placed the City in a financial position that would place fiscal constraints upon the City's general fund for at least the next four (4) years. Should Council provide direction to staff to reform a subcommittee to discuss a possible contract with the Chamber, staff would advise Council that there is no funding available in the current council-adopted budget and the soonest that funding could be provided would be in July 2023 and only if an adopted budget indicated that there was to be a surplus in the general fund in the upcoming 2-year budget.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact as a result of this item or the formation of a subcommittee. Any future decision to provide funding for the Chamber of Commerce would have a direct impact on the City's general fund.

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 5/2/2023 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Approval of a new 1-year Service Agreement with Main Street Hanford for the same annual compensation amount of $81,090.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation:That the City Council, by motion, approve a new 1-year Service Agreement with Main Street Hanford (MSH) with an annual compensation amount of $81,090.

Recommended Motion:

BACKGROUND:

The current Services Agreement between the City of Hanford and Main Street Hanford expired on December 31, 2022. In January 2022, the City Manager began working with the MSH Executive Director on the development of a new agreement, which also needed to include language related to the MSH lease of Civic Park for the Thursday Night Market Place event. MSH is willing to continue to provide the services as required under the terms of its most recent contract with the City. The annual compensation amount remains unchanged with this new agreement.

The primary differences between this agreement and the expiring agreement is the inclusion of a 1- year term instead of the previous 3-year term to allow further discussion on services to be provided in the long term. Additionally, this new agreement includes a clause that allows MSH to lease the Civic Park for the TNMP and only be responsible for certain costs that would be incurred by the City for that event. Lastly, the clause that required MSH to construct improvements in the downtown district has been removed as that should not be a requirement of a non-profit. All other terms remain unchanged.

Both a "clean" final copy and a redline copy have been attached to this report to highlight the changes made to the document, which have been detailed above.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Agreement will cost the City $81,090.00 annually for services provided under the agreement.

The funding for this agreement comes from the Parking and Business Improvement District and is already allocated in the City's adopted budget.

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 5/2/2023 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Acceptance and authorization for staff to File the City of Hanford's Quarterly Investment Portfolio and Transactions Reports as of 03/31/2023.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommended Motion: That the City Council accept the City of Hanford's Quarterly Investment Portfolio and Transactions Report as of 3/31/2023.

BACKGROUND:

Quarterly Investment Report. The City has approximately $110 million in investments and cash as of 03/31/2023.

Recent Activity. The City actively maintains its Wells Fargo cash accounts at a minimum of $2.5 million while typically investing excess cash in Local Government Investment Pools to maintain liquidity. The current preferred investment pool is Local Agency Investments Fund (LAIF), mainly due to its liquidity and because it offers a higher interest rate compared to the other option in this investment category. The interest rates for LAIF and the Tulare County Investment Pool (TCIP) were

2.74% and 2.33% respectively. In February 2023, the City paid $7.5 million dollars to Helena in accordance with the settlement agreement. On an ongoing basis, securities which mature are quickly reinvested to avoid idle cash making little to no interest.

Current Investment Environment. The interest rates continued to increase over this reporting period.

Towards the end of the quarter, the Federal Reserve announced another 25 basis point interest rate hike, making the benchmark rate the highest it’s been since 2007 (CNBC). The goal of the rate increases is to discourage inflation by increasing the cost of borrowing (CNBC). The 5-year and 10- year Treasury Note interest is currently at 3.47% and 3.40% respectively, which is lower compared to the last quarter.

Proposed Actions. With the recent settlement agreement with Helena, the City paid $7.5 million dollars during this reporting period. Additionally, the City will pay Helena $5 million dollars over the course of four years. The payments will be a lump sum of $1.25 million dollars each of the four years with no interest. The annual payments will begin on March 1, 2024. The Finance Department will invest excess cash in Local Government Investment Pools. The objective is to maintain liquidity and to maximize earnings potential on idle cash to fulfil and plan for current and non-current obligations.

Summary. The primary purpose of the City’s cash is to provide residents of Hanford with services. In order to maximize the earnings potential on the City’s idle cash, the City utilizes registered securities

Page 102 of 112 ends

dealers to purchase low-risk investments which will provide a higher return versus allowing the cash to be held in savings accounts earning little to no interest. Additionally, idle cash is also held with government pools, including Tulare County Investment Pool and State of California LAIF. It is the policy of the City to invest public funds in a manner that will provide a high investment return with a high level of security while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the entity and conforming to all state and local statutes governing the investment of public funds.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This item is informational. Investing the City cash will generate continual interest earnings on the investment portfolio.

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 5/2/2023 AGENDA SECTION: GENERAL BUSINESS

SUBJECT:

Authorization to award a contract to Interwest Consulting Group, for an amount not to exceed $391,944.72 and appropriation of said amount to provide engineering and design services for the Downtown Traffic and Pedestrian Improvements Project.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommended Motion: Award a contract to Interwest Consulting Group, for an amount not to exceed $391,944.72 and appropriation of said amount in the ARPA Fund (0058-823646) to provide engineering and design services for the Downtown Traffic and Pedestrian Improvements Project.

BACKGROUND:

Project History

On May 5, 2015, staff presented an item to City Council for the removal of five midblock crosswalks.

These crosswalk locations were determined as non-compliant with current ADA requirements and need excessive improvements required to bring them into compliance. At that time, the Council heard comments and voted to remove two (2) of the five (5) crosswalks, and to evaluate the others for upgrades to meet ADA compliance.

In September of 2018, as directed by the City Council, a Downtown Pedestrian and Vehicular Safety Committee was formed. The purpose of forming that committee was to meet with staff and consultants to discuss the potential for converting some downtown streets to one-way streets, traffic calming at intersections, safety lighting, and traffic controls in the downtown area, with the intention of then meeting with the City Council and providing recommendations for a final report and plan for downtown improvements that would provide added benefit to pedestrian and vehicular safety in the downtown area. The committee consisted of local downtown business owners and representatives.

At the February 16, 2021 City Council meeting, staff along with the City’s consultant, Peters Engineering, presented the Council with the results of the Downtown Committee’s recommendations for the Downtown Pedestrian Safety & Traffic Circulation Study. At that meeting, the Council directed staff to move forward with the recommendations of the committee. The recommendations included roundabouts along Douty Street at Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Street, the removal of five mid-block crosswalks on Irwin, Douty, and Sixth Street, and construction of pedestrian curb extensions at twenty eight (28) intersections in the downtown study area.

At the September 7, 2021 City Council Study Session, staff discussed the Downtown traffic circulation and related improvements to improve Safety and Walkability and potential funding

Page 108 of 112 ends

opportunities of the Clean California Local Grant Program administered by the California Department of Transportation. Staff presented the committee project recommendations for the Council's review and direction. The Council further discussed the mid-block crosswalks and the project budget. It was the Council consensus to direct staff to move forward with the recommendations. Additional appropriations would be presented to the Council at a future meeting for review and approval.

At the June 21, 2022 Council meeting Study Session, staff presented the ARPA funding information to Council and requested approval for allocations. Council approved the recommendation to allocate $4.4 million for Downtown Street Economic Development of Sixth Street, Seventh Street and Eighth Street improvements. Should additional funding become available, or if existing funding is redirected, additional downtown intersections could be improved with curb extensions as identified in the Study.

At the December 6, 2022, City Council meeting, Council requested that staff present the potential development scenarios for the downtown, including the implications of including a roundabout at 7th and Douty, three roundabouts on Douty ,and four-way stops on Douty.

At the December 20, 2022, City Council meeting, as requested by Council, Peters Engineering Group, along with City staff, presented the development scenarios and the implications to traffic, parking, future planning and budget for each scenario. Council directed staff to circulate a Request for Proposals for the design of pedestrian improvements and a single roundabout at 7th and Douty.

Request for Proposals

Per Council direction, City staff circulated a Request for Proposals for the Engineering and Design Services for the Downtown Traffic and Pedestrian Improvements Project. The Request for Proposals identified the following design and engineering tasks:

1. Roundabout at the intersection of Douty Street and Seventh Street, including ADA compliant sidewalk, curb and gutter, alley approaches, ADA ramps, storm drainage improvements, street section reconstruction, and diagonal parking modifications on Douty Street from Sixth Street to Eighth Street.

2. Reconfiguring Douty from four to two lanes from Sixth to Eighth Street and replace existing parallel parking with angled parking (“Road Diet”)

3. Streetscape Improvements on Douty from Sixth Street to Eighth Street and on Seventh Street from Douty to Irwin.

4. Removal of traffic signals not meeting warrants at Seventh and Harris, Seventh and Irwin and Seventh and Douty. Replace Seventh and Harris and Seventh and Irwin with bulb-outs and four-way stops. Replace Seventh Street and Douty signal lighting with a roundabout design.

The City received three proposals by the March 17, 2023 deadline.

Evaluation and Selection Process

As part of the evaluation and selection process, the City established a review committee to score the written proposals based on the following criteria:

a) Statement of Qualifications
b) Depth and breadth of experience and expertise in the phase(s) of work requested. c) Project approach.
d) Degree of availability, project team, and schedule. e) Sufficient Good Faith Efforts.

Page 109 of 112 ends

f) Other qualifications and criteria as deemed appropriate.

Following the review of the written proposals, interviews were conducted with each of the three firms to further evaluate each firm's qualifications and to discuss their approach to the project. Consultants were scored during the proposal review phase and received an additional score during the interview phase. Each review committee member provided a score based on the adopted scoring criteria and final scores were determined by averaging the scores of each committee member.

The results from the scoring process are provided below:
