AGENDA
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: 6/4/2024 AGENDA SECTION: GENERAL BUSINESS
SUBJECT:
Adoption of Resolution No. 24-12-R, designating a “Project List” for Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) gas tax funding for Fiscal Year 2024/25; and Appropriation of Hanford's estimated RMRA funding projection of $1,507,211.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation:
That the City Council, by motion, adopt Resolution No. 24-12-R designating a “Project List” for RMRA gas tax funding for Fiscal Year 2024/25; and authorize the appropriation of funds to the projects identified herein.
Recommended Motion:
I move to adopt the attached resolution 24-12-R designating a “Project List” for RMRA gas tax funding for Fiscal Year 2024/25; and authorize the appropriation of funds to the projects identified herein.
BACKGROUND:
The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1 Bill) established a Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) to provide additional funding for maintenance of state highways and roadways, including a portion for local streets and roads. One of the provisions of the new law required that agencies submit documentation to the California Transportation Commission (CTC), regarding the description and location of a proposed project; the estimated useful life of the improvement; and the estimated project start and completion date. The project list must be approved by the adopting agency by resolution at a regular public meeting.
Hanford’s estimated RMRA funding amount for FY 24/25 is approximately $1,507,211, which staff recommends that the funds be appropriated as follows:
1. $750,000 – Lacey Widening Phase 1: Railroad Tracks to Sierra Drive (CIP 823619)
2. $750,000 – Lacey Widening Phase 2: 10th Avenue to the Railroad Tracks (CIP 824620)
Project 1) Lacey Widening Phase 1: Railroad Tracks to Sierra Drive:
Project Description/Scope: This project will rehabilitate and widen the roadway on Lacey Street from the railroad tracks east to Sierra Drive and connect to the Lacey Street improvements completed as part of the Costco project. The project will also construct new concrete structures such as eight-foot-wide sidewalks, curbs, gutters, drain inlets and ramps, as well as removing the
conflicting eucalyptus trees and undergrounding overhead utilities to the extent budget permits. The project will include new storm drain, sewer, and water utilities, which will be stubbed under the tracks at 9th Avenue for future development of the northwest area. Staff is working with the San Joaquin Valley Railroad to coordinate design of the roadway surface treatment at the crossing as well as coordinating the boring of utilities under the tracks at 9th Avenue.
Additionally, because of the recent $7.3M Federal earmark towards the project(s), Staff is undergoing the processes to “federalize” the project. One of those is to conduct a federal environmental review (NEPA – National Environmental Policy Act) akin to the State’s CEQA process.
Because of this one-time opportunity for the design of Lacey, Staff is taking the opportunity to look at Lacey a little more holistically, following a more complete streets approach. Thus, staff is currently studying how to include buffered bike lanes within the proposed roadway footprint without acquiring additional right-of-way. Staff is looking at several design options, including a potential road diet, to make this a multi-modal corridor; connecting the HSR Kings-Tulare Station and the City’s downtown.
Simultaneous as a separate design project, Staff is working on the widening and signalization of the intersection of Lacey and 9th Avenue. Though the design is being kept separate from the Lacey segments, construction of the intersection will be incorporated with construction of Phase 1 Lacey.
Staff will return at a later date to present design options to the Council for comment and/or direction prior to the completion of plans. The presentation will include an updated project schedule and project cost estimate.
Project 2) Lacey Widening Phase 2: 10th Avenue to the Railroad Tracks:
Project Description/Scope: This project’s scope is equivalent to Phase I described above.
Proposed project list for FY 2024/25 (see Exhibit “A”)
FISCAL IMPACT:
Projected RMRA gas tax revenues for FY 2024/25 are estimated to be approximately $1,507,211. If approved, the projects identified in this report will be forwarded to CTC by July 1, 2024 as required by state statute for acceptance. The projects are also incorporated into our FY 2024/25 Capital Improvement Program.

AGENDA
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: 6/4/2024 AGENDA SECTION: GENERAL BUSINESS
SUBJECT:
Approval of Net Energy Metering (NEM) and Interconnection Agreement(s) with Southern California Edison Company (SCE) and Authorization of payment of up to $350,000 to SCE for the design and construction of SCE-owned facilities to accept power generated from a proposed City-ownedSolar Energy Generating Facility at the City’s Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) located at 10555 Houston Avenue and Appropriation of $350,000 from the Wastewater Treatment Plant/Sewer Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager or his designee execute a NEM and Interconnection Agreement with SCE needed for the installation of a proposed City-owned Solar Energy Generating Facility at the City’s WWTP;
2. Authorize a payment in the amount of approximately $350,000 to SCE for the design and construction of necessary SCE-owned Interconnection Facilities and Network Upgrades; and
3. Authorize the appropriation of $350,000 from Wastewater Treatment Plant Capital Funds BACKGROUND:
Net energy metering (NEM):
NEM is a metering and billing arrangement designed to compensate power generation system owners for the generation of excess electricity that is exported into the electrical utility grid, such as the previously installed solar facility at the WWTP.
NEM allows utility customers with on-site solar systems to offset the cost of electricity they draw from the electrical grid throughout the billing cycle. The utility customer then pays for the net energy consumed from the electrical utility grid.
On December 15, 2022, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) passed NEM 3.0, a new solar billing plan that ultimately reduces the monthly energy bill savings for new solar owners, meaning:
• Current solar owners will remain under their existing net metering policy (NEM Version 2.0); • Solar owners under the new NEM 3.0 will earn approximately 75% less for the excess electricity they export onto the electrical grid; and,
• Californians would be grandfathered into NEM 2.0 by submitting an Interconnection
Application for a new solar system by April 14, 2023.
• NEM 2.0 significantly enhances the financial benefit of installing solar and grandfathers the City into the program for 20-years.
The City met the April 2023 deadline through an application prepared and submitted by Engie, Inc.
The application was submitted by Engie as part of their proposal efforts, beginning in 2022, to upgrade both the WWTP and install Solar; using savings in energy as the catalyst to make the project financially feasible. Engie North America is a private energy company that works with clients to achieve energy efficiency and sustainability. Engie successfully completed three previous phased Solar system installations at the WWTP.
Interconnection Agreement:
Consequently, in order to maintain NEM 2.0 eligibility, Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the execution and submittal of both the Net Metering and Interconnection Agreement(s) to SCE by the application deadline of June 17, 2024. The attached draft copy of the Interconnection Agreement identifies the terms and conditions in order to connect SCE's network. Attachment to the agreement is SCE's estimate of design and construction upgrades enabling their network to accept power generated from the proposed solar energy generating system. SCE estimated their costs to be approximately $337,000. There will also be monthly costs associated with the interconnection once established. Payment to SCE is required for SCE to begin design and subsequent construction of their facility upgrades. Both items are required to maintain eligibility in the NEM 2.0 version program.
Engie approached the City in 2022 and offered a proposal to upgrade the WWTP along with solar as a way to offset project costs. The concept and cost savings appeared attractive though there were plant layout and design concerns yet to be resolved. Earlier this year, Engie submitted a revised cost estimate of approximately $70M that was significantly larger than was previously provided. A financial analysis was performed and Staff determined that Engie's proposed cost was not feasible based on the Wastewater Fund's available revenue structure and fund financial condition. As a follow-up, Engie then provided a proposal of $5M for solar as a standalone project. Because of the significant cost, along with not having comparable project costs, staff believe this should be vetted further or competitively bid. Though Engie performed a fair amount of engineering they have done so at their own risk.
Plant Upgrades and Expansion:
The WWTP comprises two operating plants; the older Trickling Filter style plant constructed circa 1949 and a newer Oxidation Ditch style plant that went into operation as part of the 2004 Plant Expansion Project. The older (75-year-old) plant has undergone numerous upgrades, is hydraulically "maxed-out", and is simply beyond its useful service life. The newer plant is witnessing signs of wear and in need of repairs and/or upgrades. Staff is anticipating $2.7M in repairs and upgrades during the next two fiscal years for the newer plant alone; $5.8M in repairs to the old plant in the next five years.
The overall plant is seeing increasing operating and maintenance costs due to energy inefficiencies, labor inefficiencies to operate both plants, and growing maintenance costs to keep outdated systems operational.
Notwithstanding the state of both plants, there is a need to proactively increase plant capacity to accommodate projected city growth and to also include solar as a cost-effective method to hedge increasing energy costs.
Status:
Because of the large price tag but also because of the criticalness of these two items (the WWTP and Solar), Staff is looking at how to incrementally plan, fund, and construct these items.
However, it is advantageous to move forward with solar and to take advantage of the NEM 2.0 program as the WWTP's energy costs continue to increase on a yearly basis as noted in the WWTP's SCE billing:
2020-21: $367,157
2021-22: $371,302
2022-23: $398,314
2023-24: $555,290
Solar power generation will cover energy demands of the plant and potentially other city demands, while serving to hedge costs as energy rates continue to increase in the future. Note, there is also a deadline to complete the solar project in 2026, which may require an alternative delivery method to meet that deadline (i.e. Design-Build).
Fiscal Impact:
WWTP Capital Funds will be used to fund SCE's design and construction activities as identified in "Attachment B - Facilities Financing and Ownership Interconnection Agreement". Since no project currently exists, payment to SCE will require an appropriation to fund these services. Therefore, Staff recommends City Council approve the appropriation to formally initiate and move this project forward.
Staff will return to provide an update and funding plan for the Solar project and/or a combination of Solar and first phase WWTP expansion.

Dear Hanford City council,
Please consider allowing me the privilege and responsibility of filling the Hanford City Council District B vacancy. I have lived in Hanford since I was two years old, and spent most of my adult life in service of one form or another to this town.
I have devoted copious amounts of time to the study of the myriad crisis we face in economics, energy, governance, food, and education, and the proven solutions therein, as well as non-violent communication, conflict resolution, and the psychodynamics underlying social behavior.
I have no party preference, and choose to look at each issue as it relates to the larger whole, through a lens of ecosystem science, and logic.
I understand the responsibility I am requesting, and were it granted, would honor it by balancing logic and vision with the obligation to represent the opinions of my constituents.
Hanford is where I’ve chosen to better the world, and it’s where I’m raising my family. I believe I am an ideal choice for the interim position of Hanford City Council District B. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Nathan Paul Odom
