2023 Update Page 6-1

MAINTENANCE
6.1 ADOPTION
DMA Requirements §201.6(c)(3):
[The local hazard mitigation plan shall include] documentation that the plan has been formally approved by the governing body of the jurisdiction requesting approval of the plan (e.g., City Council, County Commissioner, Tribal Council).
The purpose of formally adopting this plan is to secure buy-in from Kings County and the participating jurisdictions, raise awareness of the plan, and formalize the plan’s implementation. The adoption of this plan completes Planning Step 9 of the 10-step planning process: Adopt the Plan. The governing board for each participating jurisdiction has adopted this MJHMP by passing a resolution.
Implementation and maintenance of the plan are critical to the overall success of hazard mitigation planning. This is Planning Step 10 of the 10-step planning process. This section provides an overview of the overall strategy for plan implementation and maintenance, and outlines the method and schedule for monitoring, updating, and evaluating the plan. The section also discusses incorporating the plan into existing planning mechanisms and how to address continued public involvement.
6.2 IMPLEMENTATION
Once adopted, the plan faces the truest test of its worth: implementation. While this plan contains many worthwhile actions, the participating jurisdictions will need to decide which action(s) to undertake first.
Two factors will help with making that decision: the priority assigned to the actions in the planning process and funding availability. Low or no-cost actions most easily demonstrate progress toward successful plan implementation.
Implementation will be accomplished by adhering to the schedules identified for each action (see Section 5 for County mitigation actions and the annexes for local participating jurisdiction mitigation actions), and through constant, pervasive, and energetic efforts to network and highlight the multi- objective, win-win benefits of each project to the Kings County community and its stakeholders. These efforts include the routine actions of monitoring agendas, attending meetings, and promoting a safe, sustainable community. The three main components of implementation are:
• Implement the action plan recommendations of this plan; • Utilize existing rules, regulations, policies, and procedures already in existence; and • Communicate the hazard information collected and analyzed through this planning process so that the community better understands what can happen where, and what they can do themselves to be better prepared. Also, publicize the success stories that are achieved through the HMPC’s ongoing efforts.
During the implementation of these efforts, it is important to maintain constant monitoring of funding opportunities that can be leveraged to implement some of the more costly recommended actions. This will include creating and maintaining a bank of ideas on how to meet local match or participation requirements, should grants be pursued. When funding becomes available, the participating jurisdictions will be in a position to capitalize on the opportunity. Funding opportunities to be monitored include special pre- and post-disaster funds, special district budgeted funds, state and federal earmarked funds, and other grant programs, including those that can serve or support multi-objective applications.
For this update, the County’s implementation program will emphasize mitigation projects and setting priorities based on loss reduction consistent with DMA requirements.
6.2.1 Role of the HMPC in Implementation and Maintenance With the adoption of this plan, the participating jurisdictions will be tasked with plan implementation and maintenance. The participating jurisdictions, led by the Kings County OES agree to:
Kings County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Plan Adoption, Implementation, and Main
2023 Update Page 6-2
• Act as a forum for hazard mitigation issues;
• Disseminate hazard mitigation ideas and activities to all participants; • Pursue the implementation of high-priority, low/no-cost recommended actions; • Keep the concept of mitigation at the forefront of community decision-making by identifying plan recommendations when other community goals, plans, and activities overlap, influence, or directly affect increased community vulnerability to disasters;
• Maintain a vigilant monitoring of multi-objective cost-share opportunities to help the community implement the plan’s recommended actions for which no current funding exists; • Monitor and assist in the implementation and update of this plan; • Report on plan progress and recommended changes to the Kings County Board of Supervisors and the governing boards of the other participating jurisdictions; and • Inform and solicit input from the public.
The primary duty of the participating jurisdictions is to see the plan successfully carried out, and to report to their community governing boards and the public on the status of plan implementation and mitigation opportunities. Other duties include reviewing and promoting mitigation proposals, considering stakeholder concerns about hazard mitigation, passing concerns on to appropriate entities, and posting relevant information on the county website (and others as appropriate).
6.3 MAINTENANCE AND MONITORING
Requirement §201.6(c)(2)(i):
[The risk assessment shall include a] description of the type, location and extent of all natural hazards that can affect the jurisdiction.
The plan shall include information on previous occurrences of hazard events and on the probability of future hazard events.
Plan maintenance implies an ongoing effort to monitor and evaluate plan implementation and to update the plan as required or as progress, roadblocks, or changing circumstances are recognized. This section describes how public participation will be integrated throughout the plan maintenance and implementation process. It also explains how the mitigation strategies outlined in this plan will be incorporated into existing planning mechanisms and programs, such as comprehensive land use planning processes and building code enforcement and implementation. The plan’s format allows sections to be reviewed and updated when new data become available, resulting in a plan that will remain current and relevant.
6.3.1 Maintenance Schedule
In order to track progress and update the mitigation strategies identified in the action plan, the HMPC will revisit this plan at the following times or occurrences:
• Annually, to assess if mitigation actions/projects have been completed; • Following a significant hazard event;
• Following a disaster declaration; or
• Any other time the HMPC sees it is prudent or necessary.
Annual Reviews: The HMPC will meet annually to assess progress on plan implementation. Kings County’s OES Department and the County’s OES Manager will facilitate and lead these reviews and an associated meeting. The OES Manager will also document the annual review meeting (see Appendix E for Annual Progress Meeting Agenda and Report Template). The timing of the annual meeting is recommended for the first or second quarter of each year to identify potential mitigation grants, some of which have a submittal period in the fourth quarter. A template for the annual meeting and a summary report is provided in Appendix E. Another tool developed during the 2022 -2023 update process to facilitate regular review and implementation and make the plan more of a “living document” is the MJHMP website, where the updated 2023 MJHMP and HMPs from previous years are available for public access. Various links to additional disaster and emergency preparation, hazard mitigation, as well as other related local, state, and federal-level information are also included on the MJHMP website. This website is accessible from the Kings County OES homepage. The County can use the MJHMP to post updates on the plan implementation process, such as grants submitted, grants pending review, and grant awards.
Critical Facility Database Maintenance: Moving forward the County and its municipalities will maintain the critical facility database that was prepared during the 2022-2023 update. The County’s OES Manager
Kings County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Plan Adoption, Implementation, and Main
2023 Update Page 6-3
will work with the County GIS Manager to lead periodic reviews of the database and assess the need for updates.
Five-Year Update: This plan will be updated, approved, and adopted within a five-year cycle as per Requirement §201.6(c)(4)(i) of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. Efforts to begin the update should begin no later than November 2027 in order to provide at least 9 to 12 months to facilitate the planning process, update the plan, and provide adequate time for public review. The County’s OES Manager will lead the update by soliciting an RFP to select a contract to support the MJHMP update by November 2027. The County’s OES Manager will also manage the update planning process, review the risk assessment, and champion the update to the mitigation strategy, including tracking updates on mitigation actions and facilitating the mitigation strategy workshop. The County’s OES Manager will also co-facilitate at least three planning meetings with the selected consultant.
During the time leading up to the formal update, the County’s OES Manager will monitor planning grant opportunities from the Cal OES and FEMA for funds to assist with the update. This may include submitting a BRIC grant application. This grant should be submitted in 2024, as there is a three-year performance period to expend the funds, and there is no guarantee that the grant will be awarded when initially submitted. This allows time to resubmit the grant in subsequent years if needed. Updates to this plan will follow the most current FEMA and Cal OES planning guidance. The next plan update should be completed and reapproved by Cal OES and FEMA Region VIII by October 2028.
6.3.2 Maintenance and Evaluation Process
The HMPC will continually observe the incorporation process, evaluation method, updating method, continued public participation, and completion of the action/projects to assure that the HMPC and the plan itself are performing as anticipated. By monitoring these processes, the HMPC will then be able to evaluate them at the time of the plan update, determining if any changes are needed.
The every five-year MJHMP plan update provides an opportunity to determine whether there have been any significant changes in the County that may, in turn, necessitate changes in the types of mitigation actions proposed. New development in identified hazard areas, increased exposure to hazards, increase or decrease in capability to address hazards, and changes to federal or state legislation are examples of factors that may affect the necessary content of the MJHMP.
The plan review provides County officials with an opportunity to evaluate those actions that have been successful and to explore the possibility of documenting potential losses that were avoided due to the implementation of specific mitigation measures. The process for setting new priorities based on loss reduction is also emphasized in this MJHMP update process. The plan review also provides the opportunity to address mitigation actions that may not have been successfully implemented as assigned.
During the five-year plan update process, the following questions will be considered as criteria for assessing the effectiveness and appropriateness of the MJHMP:
• Do the goals address current and expected conditions? • Are the goals and objectives consistent with changes in state and federal policy? • Complete status update on all mitigation projects. What strategies should be revised? • Has the nature or magnitude of risks changed (current and expected conditions)? • Are the current resources appropriate for implementing the MJHMP? • Are there implementation problems, such as technical, political, legal or coordination issues with other agencies?
• Have the outcomes occurred as expected?
• Did the County and participating agencies and other partners participate in the plan implementation process as assigned?
The County of Kings is committed to involving the public in the continual reshaping and updating of the MJHMP, as discussed in Subsection 6.3.4.
6.3.3 Incorporation into Existing Planning Mechanisms
Another important implementation mechanism that is highly effective and low-cost is the incorporation of the HMP recommendations and their underlying principles into other county and city plans and
Kings County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Plan Adoption, Implementation, and Main
2023 Update Page 6-4
mechanisms. Where possible, plan participants will use existing plans and/or programs to implement hazard mitigation actions. This plan should also be cross-referenced when related planning mechanisms are updated. As previously stated above, mitigation is most successful when it is incorporated into the day-to-day functions and priorities of government and development. As described in this plan’s capability assessment and jurisdictional annexes, the County and participating jurisdictions already implement policies and programs to reduce losses to life and property from hazards. This plan builds upon the momentum developed through previous and related planning efforts and mitigation programs and recommends implementing actions, where possible, through these other program mechanisms.
These existing mechanisms include (but are not limited to) the following:
• County and local general plans (General Plan Safety Element) • Community service district area plans and master plans • County and local emergency operations plans
• County and local ordinances
• Flood/stormwater management/master plans
• Community wildfire protection plans
• GSPs
• Stormwater Resource Plans
• Urban Water Management Plans (UWMPs)
• CIPs
• Other plans and policies outlined in the capability assessments in the jurisdictional annexes • Other plans, regulations, and practices with a mitigation focus HMPC members involved in the updates to the planning mechanisms will be responsible for integrating the findings and recommendations of this plan with these other plans, programs, etc., as appropriate. As an action step to ensure integration with other planning mechanisms, the County OES Manager or designee will discuss this topic at the annual meeting of the HMPC described above in Subsection 6.3.1.
The HMPC will discuss where there are opportunities to incorporate the plan into other planning mechanisms and who would be responsible for leveraging those opportunities. HMPC members representing local jurisdictions will work with their jurisdictional LPTs to integrate their identified mitigation actions into their local plans and programs. Efforts to integrate the HMP into local plans, programs, and policies will be reported at the annual HMPC plan review meeting, and a record of successful integration efforts will be kept.
Efforts should continuously be made to monitor the progress of mitigation actions implemented through these other planning mechanisms and, where appropriate, their priority actions should be incorporated into updates of this hazard mitigation plan. Examples of a process for incorporation of the MJHMP into specific existing or upcoming planning mechanisms include:
• Each community (County, Avenal, Corcoran, Hanford, and Lemoore) should adopt (by reference or incorporation) this MJHMP into the Safety Element of their General Plan(s), as encouraged by AB 2140. Evidence of such adoption (by formal, certified resolution) shall be provided to Cal OES and FEMA to become eligible or maintain eligibility for CDDA funding. Also, specific risk and vulnerability information from the Kings County MJHMP can be incorporated into the General Plan; which, can in turn, inform the development of hazard overlay zones, or other policy changes designed to minimize hazard impacts.
6.3.4 Continued Public Involvement
Continued public involvement is imperative to the overall success of the plan’s implementation. Efforts will be made to involve the public in the plan maintenance, evaluation, and review process. This includes maintaining a digital version of the plan on the County OES website for public review. In addition, information on who to contact within the OES will be posted with the plan. The Kings County OES will maintain a file of comments received for reference during the next five-year update. Any revisions to the plan that may occur as a result of a disaster will also be made public and posted on the County website.
The next five-year update process also provides an opportunity to solicit participation from new and existing stakeholders and publicize success stories from the plan implementation and seek additional public comment. A public hearing(s) or survey to receive public comment on the plan will be held during the plan update period. When the HMPC reconvenes for the update, they will coordinate with all
Kings County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Plan Adoption, Implementation, and Main
2023 Update Page 6-5
stakeholders participating in the planning process, including those who joined the HMPC after the initial effort, to update and revise the plan. Public notice will be posted, and public participation will be invited, at a minimum, through available website postings and press releases to the local media outlets as well as email and social media announcements.
Public involvement strategies that were used during the 2022 – 2023 planning process are captured in the Outreach Strategy in Appendix F. The appendix can serve as a reference for continued public involvement over the next several years and lays the foundation for outreach associated with the next formal five-year update. The HMPC should incorporate the following engagement concepts from the Outreach Strategy:
• Collaborate with Community Based Organizations and faith-based organizations (i.e. Kings Tulare Homeless Alliance).
• Create stories and mitigation success announcements to use for publishing at media outlets. • Distribute emails and postcards and newsletters to the public about hazard mitigation. • Participate in existing community events to share information about hazard mitigation (e.g., community farmer’s markets, library events, senior centers). • Continue to use the County’s MJHMP Webpage as a distribution point or repository for HMP information.
Kings County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Plan Adoption
2023 Update Page 7-1
7 PLAN ADOPTION
DMA Requirement §201.6(c)(5):
[The plan shall include...] Documentation that the plan has been formally adopted by the governing body of the jurisdiction requesting approval of the plan (e.g., City Council, County commissioner, Tribal Council).
7.1 ELEMENT E.1 FORMAL PLAN ADOPTION DOCUMENTATION
Adoption by the local governing body demonstrates the community’s commitment to implementing the mitigation strategy and authorizes responsible agencies to execute their actions. The final plan is not approved until Kings County and each participating jurisdiction adopt the plan and FEMA receives documentation of formal adoption by the governing body of each jurisdiction requesting approval. This plan is for Kings County, the unincorporated County, and its incorporated cities of Avenal, Corcoran, Hanford, and Lemoore.
Kings County and the four participating cities plan to submit this plan to the Kings County Board of Supervisors (BOS), and their respective city councils upon successful completion of State and federal review and following the issuance of an Approved Pending Adoption (APA) designation from FEMA. This provides an efficient approval process if FEMA determines the MJHMP requires revisions because the County and each participating city can make these revisions prior to initiating the local plan adoption process.
Once FEMA issues APA notification, adoption by each participating jurisdiction must take place within one year for each jurisdiction to become or remain eligible for FEMA HMA program funding. Given this is a multi-jurisdictional planning process, Kings County will coordinate the adoption of all four jurisdictions adoption process as soon as the plan receives APA status. Because each City/Board governing body has different meeting schedules, Kings County will also coordinate with each participating jurisdiction/agency regarding the timing of their adoptions to submit adoption documentation to Cal OES and FEMA at the same time.
Once the County records and submits the adoption documentation to Cal OES and FEMA, FEMA will issue an official approval letter stating which jurisdictions/agencies have adopted and are approved and eligible for FEMA HMA program funding. The approval letter will include an expiration date five years from the date of the letter and attached to the approval letter will be a final FEMA Local Mitigation Plan Review Tool that provides feedback on the strengths of the plan, recommendations for plan improvements during future plan updates, and suggestions for implementing the mitigation strategy.
7.2 GENERAL PLAN SAFETY ELEMENT INTEGRATION
The MJHMP was prepared consistent with the Kings County General Plan Health and Safety Element. The planning mechanisms cover common overlapping natural hazard issues and mutually-reinforcing policies and implementation programs. California Government Code Section 65302.10, (AB 2140) encourages California counties and cities to adopt their current, FEMA-approved LHMPs into the Safety Element of their General Plan. This adoption by reference or incorporation of the MJHMP into the Health and Safety Element of the General Plan follows plan approval and makes Kings County and each participating jurisdiction eligible to be considered for part or all of its local-share costs on eligible public assistance funding to be provided by the State under the CDAA. As such, AB 2140 compliance provides additional funding after a disaster occurs and this is an optional state incentive to help counties and cities become more resilient to natural hazards. Because compliance with AB 2140 expires when the MJHMP expires, the County must re-adopt the plan into the Health and Safety Element during update cycles to ensure continued compliance and funding eligibility. Additionally, each participating jurisdiction must adopt their annex into their own General Plan Safety Element, as the annex jurisdictions are not covered under the County’s General Plan Safety Element adoption.

SUBJECT:
Approval of the renewal of the existing contract with AXON Enterprises, Inc. for body cameras and tasers at an annual cost of $210,478.73 for a 5-year contract term.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation: That the City Council, by motion, approve the renewal of the existing contract with AXON Enterprises, Inc. for body cameras and tasers at an annual cost of $210,478.73 for a 5-year contract term.
BACKGROUND:
Axon, as the sole provider of police tasers and body cameras, offers a comprehensive lease program tailored to our department's needs. The current contract is set to expire on June 30, 2024. The current contract is an annual cost of $21,255.80 and the department will be facing a 163% increase in pricing from the vendor. As documented and discussed with the vendor, much of this increase is attributable to software (online access, storage, and cloud services). Additionally, a change from the original contract is the addition of tasers. Currently the department spends approximately $15,000 annually for tasers, repairs, batteries & cartridges. Due to constant upgrade of equipment by vendors, it is often more costly to repair equipment than to purchase brand new.
The comprehensive proposal includes the upgrade from Body Worn Camera 3 device to Body Worn Camera 4 device and replacement of outdated TASER X2 units with the new TASER 10 model. This updated contract will significantly enhance the effectiveness and reliability of our equipment.
Given the impending obsolescence of our existing Body Worn Camera 3 devices and TASER X2 units, it is imperative to secure a contract extension with Axon to ensure continuity of service and upgrade our equipment to enhance officer safety and operational efficiency.
Key Components of the Contract Extension:
1. Body Camera Upgrade:
• Replace 63 Body Worn Camera 3 devices with 67 Body Worn Camera 4 devices. The Body Worn Camera 4 offers enhanced features such as improved video quality, longer battery life, and updated software capabilities.
2. Taser Replacement:
▪ Replace 63 Taser X2 units with 67 Taser 10 units. The TASER 10 is the latest model offered by Axon, providing improved functionality and reliability over the discontinued
X2.
3. Comprehensive Lease Program:
• The proposed contract extension will cover tasers, cartridges, chargers, warranties, body-worn cameras, cloud storage, user licenses, charging stations, and holsters for all equipment and accessories over the extended period.
Financial Summary: The total cost of the proposed contract extension for the coming year and the subsequent five years is $210,478.73 annually. This amount includes all necessary cloud storage, new equipment, replacement batteries, cartridges, warranties, and comprehensive support services provided by Axon.
Benefits of the Contract Extension:
1. Continuity of Service: Ensures seamless transition from our current contract to the new upgraded equipment without interruption.
2. Technology Advancement: Provides our officers with access to the latest and most reliable tasers and body cameras available, enhancing operational effectiveness.
3. Cost-Efficiency: The comprehensive lease program offers a predictable cost structure, simplifying budget planning and management.
4. Warranty and Support: Axon's included warranties and support services minimize downtime and ensure the longevity of our investment in police equipment.
It is recommended that the department proceed with extending the contract with Axon as proposed.
This contract extension will address the imminent obsolescence of our current equipment, provide upgraded tools for our officers, and eliminate the need for separate expenditures on cloud storage, replacement batteries, and cartridges.
The proposed contract extension with Axon represents a strategic investment in upgrading our department's essential equipment and optimizing our operational resources. By transitioning to the Body Worn Camera 4 devices and TASER 10 units and consolidating our expenses into a comprehensive lease program, we are ensuring that our officers are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and support services that meet the demands of modern law enforcement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed contract extension for the next year and subsequent five years costs $210,478.73 annually. The current annual spending for tasers, repairs, batteries & cartridges is $15,000. This cost will be integrated into Axon's comprehensive lease program under the proposed extension. Yearly additional net cost to the General Fund over the next 5 years is approx. $174,223. The department will receive $13,000.00 upon selling the old Taser X2 to help offset the cost.
Additional appropriation will be requested at the July 2, 2024, Council meeting during the FY25 Mid- Cycle amendments if approved. Finance has identified reducing reserves as an offset to this additional cost.

This form must be used as justification for a purchase from a single or sole source provider without open competition when the purchase is $2,500 or above.
The following statements, in my professional judgment, are correct. I have researched my requirements to support these findings.

SUBJECT:
Approval of payment in the amount of $70,000.00 from the City of Hanford Police Department to the Kings County Fire Department due to an onsite compliance assessment performed by California Office of Emergency Services (CALOES).
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Motion: That the Council, by motion, approve the payment to Kings County Fire Department in the amount of $70,000.00 due to an onsite compliance assessment performed by California Office of Emergency Services (CALOES).
BACKGROUND:
On April 5th 2022, City Council authorized the acceptance of an agreement between Kings County and City of Hanford for a sub-award in the amount of $70,000 from the Homeland Security Grant Program (HGSP) FY-21 funds. The grant funding received was used to purchase patented "Rapid Defense Barriers" (vehicle barriers) from sole vendor, Meridian Rapid Defense Group. During an onsite compliance assessment of this project by CALOES two findings were documented related to "noncompetitive procurement". Although the vendor selected has a patent and is the sole vendor of their product, various companies exist that offer a similar product.
Consequently, a payment of $70,000 to Kings County Fire Dept due to the onsite compliance assessment is required to rectify this oversight. CALOES has decided to extend the grant, giving the Hanford Police Department another opportunity to reapply and use the grant funds to purchase valuable items to help officers keep the City of Hanford safer.

Subject: Return of Funds due to Onsite Compliance Assessment #23-2929; FIPS 031-00000 Dear Chief Huddleston,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address the audit finding from the California Office of Emergency Services (CALOES) regarding the Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) FY-21.
As part of the audit, it was determined that there were issues related to improper procurement of the Rapid Defense Barriers and as a result, CALOES has directed the return of the HSGP FY -21 funds. We provided CALOES with your rebuttal, but their decision remained unchanged. The main reason being is that although the vendor Hanford PD selected has a patent and is the sole vendor of their product, various companies exist that offer a similar product. See the examples below provided by CALOES:
• https://k12defense.com/ramcatch-atb-156-safezone-protect-pindown-volken-5500-meridian- archer-1200-mifram-security-samson-gibraltar-portable-mobile-vehicular-barrier-anti-ram- hostile-vehicle-protection-2/
• https://barriers.miframsecurity.com/products/mvb-3x/
• https://usace.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p16021coll11/id/5827
As soon as possible, please make a check payable to Kings County Fire Department in the amount of $70,000 with the following note: Compliance Assessment Report #23 -2929. We will then process the payment to CALOES.
Despite the unfortunate situation, CALOES has worked with us to extend the grant to allow us time to properly procure another radio project. The extension request is for the same amount as the initial grant.
Once the money for the barriers is returned, Han ford PD will be able to procure the radios and then request reimbursement.

SUBJECT: RESPONSE TO SUBRECIPIENT OPPOSITION TO COMPLIANCE FINDING Homeland Security Grant Program
FIPS #031-00000; Grant Subaward #2021-0081; CR #23-2929
Dear Chief Flores:
This letter is in response to the documents received by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) on January 29, 2024, which contend Finding #3 issued for the compliance assessment noted above. The finding was for the improper use of noncompetitive procurements and the disallowance of $95,308 in related costs.
For the procurement of the forensic computer system, the Kings County District Attorney’s Office challenged that “specific technical requirements dictate a particular solution”. This justification for noncompetitive procurement is inadequate. While products within a certain class have different features, benefits, and prices, they generally meet the same customer need. As such, competition exists for the product and the competitive procurement process must be pursued.
The Kings County Information Technology Department justified the sole source procurement of the enterprise penetration testing course based on the vendor’s exclusive rights to its own product. This does not necessarily make the vendor a sole source for that type of product. Other vendors may also have exclusive rights to their own methodologies and processes; however, their end products can be categorized within the same product class. As noted in the compliance assessment report, several vendors have been identified that offer comparable training courses, thus ruling out sole source.
Similarly, the Hanford Police Department justified its noncompetitive procurement of the anti-vehicle barrier trailer kits based on the vendor being the sole manufacturer, supplier, and patent holder for its own line of product. As noted previously for the enterprise penetration testing course, such justification to sole source is without merit.
Comparable products are available and, as such, invalidates the argument for sole source.
Chief Flores
May 6, 2026
After careful consideration of the justifications presented by the County, Finding #3 stands. The amount of $95,308 reimbursed to the County by Cal OES for the items identified in the compliance assessment report and this letter are disallowed and must be returned. The Cal OES Accounting Branch will issue an invoice under a separate cover for the disallowed costs.
If you have any questions about this letter, please contact me directly at 916-845-8178 or via email at [email protected].

Subject: Onsite Compliance Assessment #23-2929; FIPS 031-00000 The City of Hanford Police Department is challenging the findings in the Onsite Compliance Assessment #23 -2929;FIPS 031 -00000. The first finding in the letter was: The procurement procedures utilized by the Subrecipient did not contain a process to perform a cost or price analysis when purchases exceed the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT). The procedures also did not include the requirement to negotiate profit as a separate element of cost in all transactions exceeding the micro purchase threshold when there is no competition for the procurement, or in all cases where a cost analysis is performed. The Hanford Police Department was not able to perform a cost or price analysis on the Rapid Defense Barriers because Meridian Rapid Defense Group is the sole manufacturer of this product as well as the patent holder for the Rapid Defense Barriers. There is no other manufacturer or third party to purchase these products from.
The second finding in the onsite compliance assessment was: the Subrecipient could not provide information showing they attempted to negotiate profit on any of the noncompetitive procurements reviewed, as listed above. In Addition, the procurements of the rapid defense barriers/trailer did not meet the requirement to bypass competitive procurement methods as stock availability and vendor preference do not necessitate the use of a noncompetitive procurement process. Because the procurement reviewed did not m eet the criteria to be eligible for a noncompetitive procurement method, the related costs of $70,000 reimbursed to the Subrecipient are disallowed. Section 200.320(c) states a noncompetitive procurement can only be awarded if: (2) the item is available only from a single source or (5) after solicitation of a number of sources, competition is determined to be inadequate. Meridian Rapid Defense is the creator of the Rapid Defense Barriers. Meridian is the patent holder and sole manufacturer of the purchased items. There is no other manufacturer of these items and Meridian products are not sold on third party sites or from third party vendors.
Since Meridian is the sole pa tent holder and manufacturer, competition is determined to be City of H A N F O R D

BACKGROUND: ABOUT MERIDIAN® RAPID DEFENSE GROUP
MERIDIAN is a privately held limited liability company (LLC). MERIDIAN has been in operation for over ten years.
As noted above, MERIDIAN holds national and international patents on its technology and products. It manufactures, sells, rents, and distributes its 100% American-Made best-in-category mobile vehicle mitigation barrier solutions. The MERIDIAN technology and products provide many unique and extraordinarily effective features to prevent vehicle errant intrusions and intentional ramming attacks by stopping and debilitating vehicles.
The keystone element o f the MERIDIAN solution is the Archer ® 1200 Barrier and accompanying products as described in more detail below. As summarized above, MERIDIANS's current customers include federal, state, and local agencies, military installations and facilities, police departments, and commercial and industrial businesses.
The MERIDIAN Archer® 1200 is the center point barrier of the vehicle mitigation and prevention solution to all improper vehicle int rusion situations. The Archer ® 1200 Barrier is easily and rapidly deployed through use of the Archer® Field Tow Bar and/or Archer ® Hauler. The Archer® 1200 barriers may be configured in varying numbers and patterns and connected with Arrestor Cables.
The well-recognized best-in-industry exemplary features of the MERIDIAN products and technology for crowd safety include:
--rapid deployment of portable barriers with unmatched stopping capabilities for all vehicles;
--delivery and flexible positioning requiring no heavy equipment/cranes and by one person with no team needed;
--modular design so that one or more barriers can be placed, and then easily moved into different configurations in response to changing needs and conditions. In terrorist attack scenarios this feature denies the terrorists the advantages of pre-attack tactical planning;
--the Archer® 1200 is 100% reusable with a lifetime guarantee. The barriers can be reused immediately after any impact;
--unlike fixed bollards, the Archer® 1200 barriers are non -lethal to the driver and minimize shrapnel spray. The barriers thus preserve the opportunity to protect a driver in an accidental situation, while in a terrorist attack to enable authorities to capture the instigator and protect evidence;
--the configuration of the barriers enable s ease of authorized pedestrian traffic and appropriate vehicles access. One person can deploy the barriers to block a street, roadway or pathway from vehicle access but permit unobstructed pedestrian access. One person can then separate the barriers as needed to provide access by an authorized vehicle and then immediately return the barriers to the appropriate positions to again block all unauthorized vehicles but allow pedestrians to walk though unobstructed. This capability makes the MERIDIAN solution ideal for the challenges intrinsic in emergency deployments of temporary, “pop up” testing and care facilities that must be swift, agile, flexible, and yet completely protected as if long planned and designed as if permanent;
--the MERIDIAN barriers are for those situations where fixed concrete bollards simply cannot be used, and where the use of inefficient, dangerous, vulnerable and uninsured police and other vehicles as blockades make no sense, the use of which would indeed be counterproductive;
--the MERIDIAN solutions do not require electricity or hydraulics, nor heavy equipment like cranes and forklifts.
--Archer® 1200 United States Letters Patent Nos 7.918,622 and 8,215,866.

CONCLUSION: MERIDIAN PROVIDES THE MOST VIABLE AND PROVEN MEANS TO DEFEND AND
SECURE DURING ANY SITUATION, EVENT OR CRISIS
Further to the information above directly relating to MERIDIAN and the federal government, it is submitted that MERIDIAN is the proven provider of the defense and security all the more necessary during this time of crisis and emergency in response to the m assive expansion of facilities and event otherwise vulnerable to vehicle intrusions.
And these vital needs will continue well into the future as seen in the published reports of increased terrorist plans to take advantage of the circumstances. That MERIDIAN is the proven, reliable, and sole supplier is established by:
--MERIDIAN has undergone the exhaustive examination, investigation, and approval process of the DHS , the GSA, and the DOD/DLA to achieve the DESIGNATION and CERTIFICATION as QATT under The SAFETY Act and to be awarded the GSA contract for Code J: Security & Protection and be approved for inclusion in FedMall. Each of these processes entailed lengthy analysis and confirmation by teams of professionals and experts of all aspects of MERIDIAN’s operations, manufacturing, distribution, patents, product functionality, management, capabilities, reliability, compliance, and references and customer acceptance. And as summarized above, MERIDIAN and its technology and products have been selected and procured by the DOD and military facilities and bases. MERIDIAN has been the subject of in- depth due diligence by the DHS, GSA, DOD, and been a vital partner in meeting the challenges of the U.S. Secret Service and FBI for protection of major events; and
--MERIDIAN continues to be the selected source for defense and security by state and local law enforcement and security agencies and departments including: the Chicago PD; the Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Jacksonville PDs and Broward County Sheriffs; the counties of Bergen and Morris and the cities of Jersey City and Asbury Park, New Jersey; Little Rock, Arkansas; the State of New York with direct participation and funding through Homeland Security; in California, the cities of Pasadena, San Jose, Carlsbad, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Manhattan and Hermosa Beach, Ventura, Santa Monica, San Francisco, Inglewood, and the Capital City of Sacramento and four neighboring counties.
Similarly, MERIDIAN has been the choice of major universities for protection and security of their students and faculty and their high-profile events including graduations. These include the Universities of Tennessee, California at Los Angeles and San Diego, Arizona, Southern Methodist University, and the University of Southern Cal ifornia.

Subject: Onsite Compliance Assessment #23-2929; FIPS 031-00000 Dear Chief Amoroso,
This letter is to inform you that The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) conducted an onsite compliance assessment on August 28, 2023, through September 1, 2023, of the Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) Fiscal Year 2021. The assessment included reviewing documentation submitted to support expenditures and performing certain procedures as necessary to determine compliance with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and program guidelines. The following project was selected for review:
Item Procured Total Cost Charged to HSGP Subrecipient Justification Rapid defense barriers/
trailers – Hanford PD
$85,143.63 $70,000.00 Chosen vendor was the only vendor with items in stock.
As a result, the following are findings resulting from the compliance assessment.
The procurement procedures utilized by the Subrecipient did not contain a process to perform a cost or price analysis when purchases exceed the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT). The procedures also did not include the requirement to negotiate profit as a separate element of cost in all transactions exceeding the micro purchase threshold when there is no competition for the procurement, or in all cases where a cost analysis is performed.
Title 2 CFR, Section 200.31 S{a) states, "The non -Federal entity must have and use documented procurement procedures, consistent with State, local, and tribal laws and regulations and the standards of this section, for the acquisition of property or services required under a Federal award or subaward..." Section 200.324 states, "(a) The non -Federal entity must perform a cost or price analysis in connection with any procurement action in excess of the Simplified Acquisition Threshold... (b} The non-Federal entity must negotiate profit as a separate element of the price for each contract in which there is no price competition and in all cases where a cost analysis is performed."

Also, the Subrecipient could not provide information showing they attempted to negotiate profit on any of the noncompetitive procurements reviewed, as listed above. In Addition, the procurements of the rapid defense barriers/trailer did not meet the requirement t o bypass competitive procurement methods as stock availability and vendor preference do not necessitate the use of a noncompetitive procurement process. Because the procurement reviewed did not meet the criteria to be eligible for a noncompetitive procurement method, the related costs of $70,000 reimbursed to the Subrecipient are disallowed.
Section 200.320(c) states, " ... Noncompetitive procurement can only be awarded if one or more of the following circumstances apply: ( 1) The acquisition of property or services, the aggregate dollar amount of which does not exceed the micro -purchase threshold (see paragraph (a) ( 1) of this section); (2) The item is available only from a single source; (3 ) The public exigency or emergency for the requirement will not permit a delay resulting from publicizing a competitive solicitation; (4) The Federal awarding agency or pass -through entity expressly authorizes a noncompetitive procurement in response to a written request from the non-Federal entity; or (5) After solicitation of a number of sources, competition is determined inadequate." Section 200.324 states, "The Non-Federal entity must negotiate profit as a separate element of price for each contract in which there is no price competition ... "
In addition, the contracts related to the procurement transactions discussed above were reviewed during the compliance assessment, and found to be missing federally required provisions as follows:
Item Procured Total Cost Missing Provisions
Rapid defense
barriers/trailer
$85,143.63 Termination for cause/convenience (contracts> $10,000); suspension/ debarment clause
Title 2 CFR, Section 200.327 states, "The Non-Federal entity's contracts must contain the applicable provisions described in appendix JI to this part. "Appendix II to Part 200, states, " ... (BJ All contracts in excess of $10,000 must address termination for cause and for convenience by the Non -Federal entity including the manner by which it will be effected and the basis for settlement ... (H) Debarment and Suspension ... A contract award (see 2 CFR 180.220) must not be made to parties listed on the governmental exclusions in the System for Award Management (SAM) ... " Appendix II provides details regarding the required provisions based on types of contracts and dollar amount thresholds. Refer to Appendix II to Part 200 for all federally required provisions.
If you desire to challenge the findings included in this report, you must respond with your written comments and provide all supporting documentation to me no later than December 22, 2023. Our OES office will respond to the State on your behalf. If you agree with the findings, please make a check payable to County of Kings in the amount of 70,000 dollars.

MEETING DATE: 6/18/2024 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT:
Approval of amended annual contracts for the 2024-2025 school year, with the Pioneer Union Elementary School District, Kings County Office of Education, Hanford Joint Union High School District, and Hanford Elementary School District for the School Resource Officer Program.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation: That the City Council, by motion, approve the contracts between the City of Hanford and Pioneer Union Elementary School District, Kings County Office of Education, Hanford Joint Union High School District, and Hanford Elementary School District for School Resource Officer services rendered.
Recommended Motion: To approve the SRO contracts for each listed school district for the 2024- 2025 school year.
BACKGROUND:
The Pioneer Union Elementary School District, Kings County Office of Education, Hanford Joint Union High School District, and Hanford Elementary School District currently contracts with the Hanford Police Department for School Resource Officers. The Hanford Police Department and the Pioneer Union Elementary School District currently contract for 20 hours per week at a cost of $48,000.00 per year. This is for 50% coverage at all three Pioneer schools during the regular school year. The amended contract for Pioneer Union Elementary School District will increase to $49,000.00 per year for the same services during the 2024-2025 school year. This increase is in line with what the other contracted school districts pay for School Resource Officer Services.
The Kings County Office of Education and the Hanford Police Department currently have a contract for 40 hours per week of School Resource services per school year at a cost of $98,000.00 per year.
This cost to the Kings County Office of Education will stay the same for the 2024-2025 school year.
The Hanford Joint Union High School District and the Hanford Police Department currently have a contract to staff 4 School Resource Officers. The officers are staffed at Hanford High School, Hanford West High School, Sierra Pacific High School, and Alternative Education sites. The current contracted cost to the Hanford Joint Union High School District is $98,000.00 per officer for a total of $392,000.00 per year. This cost will stay the same for the Hanford Joint Union High School District for the 2024-2025 school year.
The Hanford Police Department and the Hanford Elementary School District currently have a contract to staff 2 School Resource Officers. These officers are assigned to JFK Jr. High School and
Woodrow Wilson Jr. High School and the feeder schools for both. The current contracted cost to the Hanford Elementary School District is $92,000.00 for each officer for a total of $184,000.00 per year.
The new contracted cost to Hanford Elementary School District for the 2024-2025 school year will increase to $98,000.00 per officer for a total of $196,000.00 per year for services.
In all four contracts with all contracted school districts, language was changed regarding overtime costs per council's direction. In all four contracts, language was added to state that “Overtime expenditures for school related events will be paid for by the school district. For these additional services, the Hanford Police Department will charge the district an hourly rate of $81.75. SRO services during summer school may be provided to the district at a cost of $498.00 per officer, per day for the duration of the summer school session.”
Copies of the contracts have been attached and are already approved by the governing bodies of each school district. The respective superintendents of each school district have signed each of their district's contracts.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact of approving these contracts results in $13,000.00 in salary savings for the City of Hanford. In addition, there will be overtime savings to the city with the amended language in the contracts that now transfers the overtime costs for school-related events to the individual districts.

SUBJECT:
Award and authorization for the City Manager to enter into a professional services agreement with Randle Communications (Sacramento, CA) for $72,500 for potential ballot measure information outreach services and appropriate the amount in the General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council, by motion, Award and Authorize the City Manager to enter into a professional services agreement with Randle Communications (Sacramento, CA) for $72,500 for potential ballot measure information outreach services and appropriate the amount in the General Fund.
Recommended Motion: I move to Award and Authorize the City Manager to enter into a professional services agreement with Randle Communications (Sacramento, CA) for $72,500 for potential ballot measure information outreach services and appropriate the amount in the General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
This item was tabled at City Council's May 21, 2024 meeting for discussion on June 4, for approval after Council considered a potential revenue measure further. In response to City Council's action to form a Revenue Measure Committee (RMC) and subsequent recommendation by the RMC that there is a need for a revenue measure, in a formal Request for Proposal process, staff solicited proposals for information outreach efforts for a potential revenue measure. The RFP was issued March 14, 2024 and closed on April 12, 2024.
City Council as of the time of this item, has also considered on its own a draft Expenditure Plan for a potential revenue measure and further discussed community engagement. Preliminary work with Randle has been authorized by the City Manager in order to provide experienced dissemination of information and necessary planning for the City Council to proceed with taking a revenue measure to the voters for a decision. Approval of this agreement by City Council would carry on the scope of services through the November 2024 election, providing experience and support that staff otherwise lacks.
Three proposals were received and subsequently evaluated by an evaluation committee. Randle Communications, Sierra Pacific Strategies, and William Berry Campaigns (WBC) submitted by the deadline and were responsive to the RFP. Award of the contract was based on the evaluation process and City Council authorization is requested for work through November. Below in Table 1 is a summary of the proposals and ranking out of a maximum potential of 100:
Table 1: Evaluation Summary
Based on the evaluation scoring and a final interview, staff recommends that City Council award and authorize execution of an agreement with Randle Communications for consulting services for potential ballot measure information outreach. The firm is familiar with local ballot measures and knowledgeable about getting information out to constituents in compliance with legal restrictions.
Randle, will assist staff to get factual information out to city stakeholders while avoiding prohibited advocacy.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If approved, $72,500 will be appropriated in the General Fund for this information outreach project. In addition, to these costs any hard costs for auxiliary items such as handouts, web design or other outreach may be required as well. This cost would be covered by potential expenditure savings within all departments operational budgets in FY24, and/or available fund balance in the General Fund.

SUBJECT:
Adoption of Resolution 24-18-R establishing the 2024/2025 appropriations limit of $90,635,466 for the City of Hanford's General Fund
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation: Staff recommends that City Council adopt Resolution 24-18-R establishing the appropriations limit (Gann Appropriations Limit) for the 2024/2025 fiscal year in the amount of $90,635,466 for the General Fund.
Recommended Motion: I move to adopt Resolution 24-18-R establishing the appropriations limit (Gann Appropriations Limit) for the 2024/2025 fiscal year in the amount of $90,635,466 for the General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
Annually, City Council is required by the State to approve the appropriation limit for the City of Hanford. The Appropriation Limitation imposed by Propositions 4 and 111, known as the Gann Appropriations Limit, creates a restriction on the amount of tax revenue which can be appropriated in any fiscal year. The limit bears little to no meaningful connection to the City budget (the expenditure limit established by the required formula is substantially higher than current City of Hanford revenues/expenditures are or have been). The limit is based on actual appropriations during the 1978-79 fiscal year and is increased each year by a factor comprised of the change in population combined with the change in California per capita personal income.
The General Fund is the only fund subject to the appropriation limit mandated by the State of California. Any challenge to the appropriations limit must be brought within 45 days from the effective date of the resolution.
The State of California Department of Finance provides the population and California per capita personal income change data for local jurisdictions to calculate their appropriations limit. Based on the following data received from the Department of Finance, a population change of 0.43% and per capita income change of 3.62%, the appropriations limit for Hanford is $90,635,466. The total General Fund appropriation subject to limitation for the fiscal year 2024/2025 is $44,091,552 which is well under the appropriations limit as shown in Table 1, Gann Appropriations Limit. Even with possible changes during the year, the City will remain well below the limit.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action will establish a General Fund appropriation limit as required by State Propositions 4 and 111 restricting the amount of tax revenue which can be appropriated in any fiscal year. The limit for 2024/2025 is $90,635,466. The 2024/2025 General Fund appropriation of $44,091,552 is well below that threshold.

RESOLUTION No. 24-18-R
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HANFORD ESTABLISHING THE 2024/2025 APPROPRIATONS LIMIT
WHEREAS, in 1979, California voters approved Proposition 4 (Article XIII-B of the California State Constitution). Informally known as the “Gann Initiative,” Article XIII-B provides limits to the amount of tax proceeds state and local governments can spend each year.
WHEREAS, in 1980, the State Legislature added Section 9710 of the Government Code stating that the governing body of each City must establish, by resolution, an appropriations limit for the following year.
The limit for any fiscal year is equal to the previous year’s limit, adjusted for population changes and the change in the U.S. Consumer Price Index (or California per capita personal income, if smaller). The necessary statistical information is provided by the California Department of Finance.
WHEREAS, Proposition 111 modified Article XIII-B. A City may choose which annual adjustments to use.
The adjustment factors include the growth in the California Per Capita Income, or the growth in the non- residential assessed valuation.
AND IT FURTHER provided for the 2024-25 fiscal year, any challenge to the appropriations limit must be brought within 45 days from the effective date of the resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the appropriations limit as defined by Propositions 4 and 111 is set at $90,635,466 for 2024/2025 fiscal year using a percentage change growth factor of 0.43% and change in per capita income of 3.62% as established by the California Department of Finance.

Dear Fiscal Officer:
Price Factor and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2227 requires the Department of Finance to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments.
Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2024, in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2024-25. Attachment A provides the change in California’s per capita personal income and an example for utilizing the factors to calculate the 2024-25 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides the city and unincorporated county population percentage change. Attachment C provides the population percentage change for counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.
Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit.
California Revenue
and Taxation Code section 2228 p rovides additional information regar ding the appropriations limit. Article XIII B, section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the appropriations limit calculation mandate. Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself. No state agency reviews the local appropriations limits.
Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller’s Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2024. Please note: The prior year’s city population estimates may be revised. The per capita personal income change is based on historical data.
If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at (916) 323-4086.

Attachment A
A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used in setting the fiscal year 2024-25 appropriation limit is:
Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year Percentage change
(FY) over prior year
2024-25 3.62
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2024-25 appropriation limit.
2024-25:
Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 3.62 percent
Population Change = 0.17 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio: 3.62 + 100 = 1.0362 100
Population converted to a ratio: 0.17 + 100 = 1.0017 100
C alculation of factor for FY 2024-25: 1.0362 x 1.0017 = 1.0379

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: 6/18/2024 AGENDA SECTION: GENERAL BUSINESS
SUBJECT:
Adoption of Resolution 24-17-R, Approving the Annual Engineer's Report and Intention to Levy for Fiscal Year 2024/20205 and Collect Assessments as outlined in the Annual Engineer's Report, which has been prepared pursuant to Chapter 3 of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972. The proposed assessments outlined in the Engineer's Report are less than or equal to the authorized maximum assessment for each landscape assessment district, and set July 2, 2024, as the Public Hearing date to consider the increases in assessments as proposed.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation:
Recommended Motion: That the City Council, by motion, adopt Resolution 24-17-R, approving the Annual Engineer's Report and Intention to Levy and Collect Assessments for Fiscal Year 204/2025 as outlined in the Annual Engineer's Report, which has been prepared pursuant to Chapter 3 of the Landscape and Lighting act of 1972. The proposed assessments outlined in the Engineer's Report are less than or equal to the authorized maximum assessment for each landscape assessment district.
BACKGROUND:
In accordance with Chapter 3 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (“Act”), an Annual Engineer’s Report addressing adjustments based on a review of the costs of maintenance of public improvements must be prepared and submitted to the City Council for action. The Streets and Highway Code, as referenced in the Act, requires the holding of a public hearing for Landscape Districts identified in the Annual Engineer’s Report as showing an increase, decrease, or no change in the annual assessment amount.
At the regular City Council meeting on July 2, 2024, a public hearing will be held. The City Council shall consider all public input before taking final action on confirming and levying the assessments proposed in the Annual Engineer’s Report. Regarding the Districts identified in the Annual Engineer’s Report showing an increase in the annual assessment amount, the City Council must consider all protests against the proposed increase in the assessment amount and tabulate any protests delivered to the City before the close of the public hearing. Per Article XXX D, Section 4 of the California Constitution, if the ballots submitted in opposition to the increased assessment exceed those submitted in favor of the increased assessment, the assessment amount shall not be increased. If the increase in the assessment to maintain the current level of service for the existing landscape area is voted down, the current level of service may be reduced. In tabulating the protests, the protests shall be weighed according to the proportional financial obligation of each affected parcel of real property.
The Annual Engineer’s Report identifies an increase in the annual assessment from the previous year and the reasons for the increase, including the imposition of 2.8% Standard Annual CI Increase (December 2023) in accordance with California Government Code section 53739(b)(1) for the following Districts:

25. 20-01 Woodside Homes
26. 21-01 San Joaquin Valley Homes
The Annual Assessments for each of the remaining Districts are at or below Fiscal Year 2023/2024.
The Annual Engineer’s Report also provides the following information as required by Article XIII D, Section 4 of the California Constitution:
1. Identifies all real property parcels with a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which the assessment will be imposed.
2. Determines the appropriate special benefit derived by each parcel of the real property in relation to the entirety of the cost of maintenance of the public improvements.
3. Identifies the special benefit conferred on each parcel of real property.
4. Establishes that the assessment imposed on each parcel of real property does not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportionate special benefit conferred on that parcel of real property.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total balance of levies across all landscape assessment districts is $949,826. The Engineer's Report includes a summary of the assessments.
In accordance with Proposition 218 and over the entire general benefit, the City's general benefit contribution is $29,869. This baseline servicing, unlike the enhanced aesthetic services funded through the District assessments, would provide benefits to the public and to the properties both
within and outside the specific Districts. The cost of providing this baseline service, along with a five percent (5%) cost factor for city overhead and administration, is treated as the general cost.
Benefit from landscape maintenance services.

Hanford Landscaping and Lighting Assessment Districts
Engineer’s Annual Report
Fiscal Year 2024/2025
Report Content and Annual Proceedings
This Consolidated Engineer’s Report (the “Report”) has been prepared pursuant to Chapter 1, Article 4 and Chapter 3 of the 1972 Act, and presented to the City Council for their consideration and approval of the proposed improvements and services to be provided within the Districts and the levy and collection of annual assessments related thereto for fiscal year 2024/2025. This Report generally describes the improvements and proposed assessments to be levied in connection with the special benefits the properties will receive from the maintenance and servicing of the improvements within each of the designated Districts for fiscal year 2024/2025. The annual assessments to be levied on properties within these Districts provide a source of funding to fund in whole or in part, the continued operation and maintenance of the landscaping improvements or landscaping and lighting improvements and services to be provi ded by the City through the LLMD that provide special benefits to the properties within each of those Districts and respective developments.
Each fiscal year, the City establishes the LLMD assessments based on an estimate of the costs to maintain, operate and service the authorized improvements within each District and based upon available revenues including assessment revenues, fund balances, general benefit contributions and any additional City contributions from available sources . The costs of the improvements and the proposed annual assessments budgeted and assessed against properties within each District may include, but are not limited to the estimated expenditures for regular annual m aintenance and repairs; incidental expenditures related to the operation and administration of the District; deficits or surpluses from prior years (fund balance); revenues from other sources; and the collection of funds for operational reserves and/or periodic repairs, replacements and rehabilitation projects as authorized by the 1972 Act. The net annual cost to provide the improvements for each District are allocated to the benefiting properties within each District respectively based on an established method of apportionment (refer to Assessment Methodology in Section II, Method of Apportionment) that calculates the proportional special benefit and assessment for each parcel within those Districts. Thus, each parcel is assessed proportionately for only those improvements, services, and expenses for which the parcel receives special benefit.
The word “parcel,” for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) by the Kings County Assessor’s Office. The Kings County Auditor/Controller uses APNs and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties to be assessed on the tax roll for the District assessments.
At a noticed annual Public Hearing, the City Council will accept all public comments and written protests regarding the District s and the annual levy of assessments. Based on those public comments and written protests, the City Council may order amendments to the Report or confirm the Report as submitted. Following final approval of the Report and confirmation of the assessments, the City Council will by Resolution, order the improvements to be made and confirm the levy and collection of assessments for fiscal year 2024/2025 pursuant to the 1972 Act. The assessment for each parcel as approved will be placed on the fiscal year 2024/2025 property tax roll by the Kings County Auditor/Controller and collected together and in the same manner as other property taxes for such parcels.
As required by the 1972 Act, this Engineer’s Report describes the improvements to be provided, maintained, and serviced by the District s, an estimated budget for the improvements for each District, and the proposed assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within those Districts for fiscal year 2024/2025.
Hanford Landscaping and Lighting Assessment Districts
Engineer’s Annual Report
Fiscal Year 2024/2025
This Report consists of five (5) parts:
Part I
Plans and Specifications: This section contains a general description of the District s, and the improvements and services that provide special benefits to the parcels within those Districts. The improvements and appurtenant facilities that provide special benefits to the properties within the Districts and for which parcels are assessed may include, but is not limited to local landscaping, neighborhood parks, basins, street lights, and related amenities as well as associated incidental expenses (City Administration expenses and County Fees), and fund balances authorized by the 1972 Act. The plans and specifications contained in this Report generally describe the nature and extent of the improvements . More detailed information regarding the specific plans and specifications associated with the improvements in each District may be on file in the Public Works Department and by reference are made part of this Report.
Part II
Method of Apportionment: This section includes a discussion of the general and special benefits associated with the improvements to be provided within the LLMD (Benefit Analysis), which includes a discussion of the proportional costs of the special benefits and a separation of costs considered to be of general benefit (and therefore not assessed). This section of the Report also outlines the basis upon which the estimated costs to provide such improvements are apportioned to each parcel of land within the Districts in proportion to the special benefits to be received (the method of calculating each property’s proportional special benefit assessment ). This method of apportionment is consistent with the previously approved and adopted method of apportionment for each District.
Part III
Estimate of Costs : Identifies the estimated annual funding costs ( budgets) required for the maintenance and operation of the improvements in each of the Districts, including, but not limited to, annual maintenance and service expenses, utility costs, related incidental expenses, and fund balances authorized by the 1972 Act and deemed appropriate to support the improvements, even though not all costs identified in t hese budgets are necessarily supported fully by the current assessment revenues. Those improvements and/or costs determined to be of general benefit shall be funded by a City contribution. In addition to the general benefit costs, the City may provide additional funding to support the maintenance and operation of the improvements considered to be of special benefit. Ultimately, City staff shall make the determination of which improvements, and the extent of the services and activities that shall be provided based on available revenues.
This section also identifies and outlines an Assessment Range Formula (inflationary adjust) that has been previously approved and adopted for specified Districts (most but not all Districts), which provides for an annual adjustment to the maximum assessment rates, establishing limits on future assessments, but also providing for reasonable cost adjustments due to inflation.

Part IV
District Diagrams: This section of the Report contains diagram s showing the general location and boundaries of the Districts for fiscal year 2024/2025 which incorporate the parcels determined to receive special benefits from the improvements within each District. The lines and dimensions of each lot, parcel, and subdivision of land contained in the diagram for each District is inclusive of the parcels listed in “Part V - Assessment Roll” of this Report and the corresponding County Assessor’s parcel maps for said parcels as they existed at the time this Report was prepared and shall incorporate all subsequent subdivisions, lot -line adjustments, or parcel changes therein.
Reference is hereby made to the Kings County Assessor’s maps for a detailed description of the lines and dimensions of each lot and parcel of land within the Districts.
Part V
Assessment Rolls: The assessment amounts to be levied and collected in fiscal year 2024/2025 for each parcel is provided in the Assessment Roll , and these assessments are based on the parcel’s calculated proportional special benefit as outlined in Part II - Method of Apportionment and the annual assessment rates established by the estimated budgets (refer to Part III - Estimate of Costs).
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, portion, zone, or subzone of this Engineer’s Report is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Engineer’s Report and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, portion, zone, or subzone thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, portions, zones, or subzones might subsequently be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
Hanford Landscaping and Lighting Assessment Districts
Engineer’s Annual Report
Fiscal Year 2024/2025
Part I - Plans and Specifications
The purpose of th e Districts (collectively the LLMD) is to provide in part through annual assessments, funding for the ongoing installation, maintenance, operation, and servicing of local landscaping, neighborhood parks, and related appurtenant facilities and services in specified areas of the City as well as local street lighting within some Districts. The territory within each District consists of all lots or parcels of land that receive special benefits from the installation, maintenance, operation and servicing of the local public improvements and related amenities associated with the developments and Tracts within each of those Districts.
Description of Improvements
As authorized by the 1972 Act, the improvements provided by the Districts and associated with each development incorporate various local improvements and/or street lighting and related amenities installed in connection with the development of those properties and are maintained and serviced for the benefit of real property within those developments. Improvements provided within the Districts may include but are not limited to:
➢ Landscaping and related facilities and amenities located within designated street medians, parkway and streetscape side -panels, and entryways within the public right s-of-way or easements adjacent to public right s-of-way; and within public places including greenbelt areas, open spaces, and neighborhood parks within each respective District. These improvements may include, but are not limited to:
• Various landscape materials such as trees, turf, shrubs, vines, ground cover, annual or perineal plantings;
• Irrigation and drainage systems including but not limited to pipes, fixtures, controllers, and water and electrical meters;
• Specified amenities such as monuments, ornamental lighting, block walls, retaining walls, or other fencing;
• Hardscape surfaces and areas including decomposed granite, mulch, asphalt, stamped concrete, pavers, and other trail and/or path surfaces; and • Recreational amenities within the parks , parks/basins, trails, or greenbelts that may include benches, play structures, picnic or other recreational facilities, signage, and related appurtenances.
The maintenance of these improvements may include, but is not limited to the scheduled mowing, trimming, pruning, fertilization, pest control, weed and graffiti abatement; installation, replacement, and rehabilitation of the landscaping ; repair or replacement of irrigation or drainage systems; and repair or replacement of hardscape improvements and recreational amenities.
➢ Street lighting improvements located in the public rights-of-way within and on the perimeter of the developments associated with specific Districts and the parcels and developments therein.
Street lighting improvements include energy costs and maintenance of the lighting facilities including, but not limited to the removal, repair, replacement or relocation of light standards, poles, bulbs, fixtures, and related equipment and materials.
Hanford Landscaping and Lighting Assessment Districts
Engineer’s Annual Report
Fiscal Year 2024/2025
The work to be performed within each respective District may include but is not limited to (as applicable), the personnel, materials, equipment, electricity, water, contract services, repair and rehabilitation of the improvements, and incidental expenses. The City Public Works Department shall authorize and schedule such maintenance and servicing as needed and based on available funding.
Specific District Improvements and Services
As previously noted, there are forty -three (43) designated Districts within the City for which assessments are proposed to be levied and collected to maintain, operate and service the improvements within those Districts for fiscal year 2024/2025. The boundaries of each District are established on the basis of the location, extent and types of improvements being maintained and the proximity and direct benefit those specific improvement s provide to the immediately surrounding developments, planned developments, and parcels . In addition, the nexus and observation that the developments and/or planned development of the properties within each District clearly required or otherwise facilitated the installation of the improvements to be maintained and that such improvements (both landscaping and lighting) would otherwise not be necessary if not for the development of those properties. Therefore, the benefit s to the immediately surrounding properties and developments for which the improvements were constructed and installed and/or were facilitated by the development or potential development of properties within each respective District are clearly particular and distinct (special benefits).
Landscape Service Levels
As part of the ongoing maintenance and servicing of the landscape improvements associated with each District, the City has established various maintenance frequency referred to as S ervice Levels. These Service Levels provide general guidelines for how often the landscape improvement areas are serviced based on overall maintenance needs and/or available assessment funding. For most Districts, the various landscape improvements or improvement areas within a District are maintained at the same level of service , but in some Districts two or more Service Levels may be applicable based on the nature and/or location of the improvements.
At present, the City has established five (5) Service Levels summarized as follows:
➢ Service Level A – Landscape improvements are serviced every week; ➢ Service Level B – Landscape improvements are serviced e very week (March through October) and every two weeks (November through February); ➢ Service Level C – Landscape improvements are serviced every two weeks; ➢ Service Level D – Landscape improvements are serviced every two weeks (March through October) and every four weeks (November through February); and ➢ Service Level E – Landscape improvements are serviced once every month.
For Fiscal Year 2024/2025 it is anticipated that each of the improvement areas being maintained within the LLMP will be maintained at either Service Levels A, B, C or D.

Part II - Method of Apportionment
Legislative Requirements for Assessments
The estimated costs to provide the proposed improvements for fiscal year 2024/2025 have been identified and allocated to properties within the Districts based on special benefit, consistent with the requirements of the 1972 Act and the assessment provisions of Proposition 218 (being contained in Article XIII D of the California Constitution). The improvements provided by th ese Districts and for which properties are assessed include local parks, basins, landscaping, and lighting improvements, as well as related amenities . The formula s used for calculating assessments within the designated Districts herein reflect the composition of parcels and the improvements and services to be provided and fairly apportion the cost of providing those improvements based on a determination of the proportional special benefits to each parcel.
Provisions of the 1972 Act
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements, including the acquisition, construction, installation and servicing of landscape improvements and related facilities. The 1972 Act requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value.
Section 22573 defines the net amount to be assessed as follows:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
Provisions of the California Constitution
In addition to the provisions of the 1972 Act, the Article XIII D of the California Constitution outlines specific requirements regarding assessments including the following:
Article XIII D Section 2d defines District as follows:
“District” means an area determined by an agency to contain all parcels which will receive a special benefit from a proposed public improvement or property-related service;” Article XIII D Section 2i defines Special Benefit as follows:
“Special benefit ” means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit.” Article XIII D Section 4a defines proportional special benefit assessments as follows:
“An agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be deter mined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided. No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.”

Benefit Analysis
Special Benefits
Landscaping Special Benefit
The ongoing maintenance of landscaped areas within the various Districts addressed in this Report provides aesthetic benefits to the properties and a more pleasant environment to walk, drive, live , and/or work. The primary function of these landscape improvements and related amenities is to serve as an aesthetically pleasing enhancement and green space for the benefit of the immediately surrounding properties and developments for which the improvements were constructed and installed and/or were facilitated by the development or potential development of properties within each respective District. These landscape improvements are an integral part of the physical environment associated with the parcels in each District and while some of the improvements may in part be visible to properties outside the District, collectively if the District improvements are not properly maintained, it is the parcels within the District that would be aesthetically burdened. Additionally, many of the landscaped areas being maintain ed in these Districts serve as both a physical buffer as well as a sound reduction buffer between the roadways and/or railroad and the properties within the District , and also serve as a pleasant aesthetic amenity that enhances the approach to the parcels. In some Districts, the landscaped areas may include green space areas (neighborhood parks, park/basins, greenbelts, open space and/or trails) that may provide a physical buffer between properties, overall open space within a development, and/or recreational areas that serve as an extension of the physical attributes of the parcels being assessed. Thus, the maintenance of these landscape improvements and the related amenities provide particular and distinct benefit s to the properties and developments associated with those improvements within each District.
Street Lighting Special Benefit
The street lighting (localized street lighting) is primarily useful for illuminating the sidewalks and parking lanes on the streets used specifically to access the properties and/or is adjacent to those properties that comprise each particular District. This lighting is distinct from lights that may be installed that serve in large part to enhance traffic safety, such as traffic signals and intersection safety lights or the more sporadic lighting found on major thoroughfares outside the more concentrated development areas. These localized street lights tend to be more closely spaced and of a lower intensity than street lights installed primarily for traffic safety. These low -level, lower-intensity street lights within a designated District provide three main special benefits: (i) property security benefit, (ii) pedestrian safety benefit, and (iii) parkway/roadway egress benefit.
Because traffic to and from these parcels is largely limited to the residents and residents’ guests, it is reasonable to assume that essentially all pedestrians and parking vehicles in the lit areas will, after dark, be directly associated with the properties in th at District and that the vehicular traffic on those streets is primarily for accessing the properties within that area. Therefore, street lighting on such streets is entirely a special benefit to those properties.
In addition, the street lights for which properties within the District s may be assessed, are consistent with the City’s typical intensity and spacing standards for areas zoned for residential development and each parcel to be assessed is served directly by the system of street lights providing appropriate lighting within these respective development areas. Furthermore, the cost of maintaining and operating each light is substantially the same, regardless of its location within the District. Consequently, w e conclude that each parcel to be assessed for street lighting receives substantially similar benefit from the street light improvements and the only notable distinctions in proportional special benefit to each parcel is related to the specific quantity of lights associated with each District.

General Benefit
Landscaping General Benefit
In reviewing the location and extent of the specific landscaped areas and improvements to be funded by each District’s assessments and the proximity and relationship to properties to be assessed in each District, it is evident these improvements were primarily installed in connection with the development of properties therein or are improvements that would otherwise be shared by and required for development of properties in each respective District. It is also evident that the maintenance of these improvements and the level of maintenance provided has a direct and particular impact (special benefit) only on those properties in proximity to those improvements .
Furthermore, such maintenance beyond that which is required to ensure the safety and protection of the general public and property in general, has no quantifiable benefit to the public at large or properties outside each respective District.
In the absence of a special funding district, the City would typically provide only limited (as needed) tree management, weed abatement, rodent control, and erosion control services for the landscape areas currently maintained within each District. This baseline level of service would typically provide for periodic servicing of the improvement areas on an as -needed basis, but typically not more than twice annually. This baseline level of service provides for public safety and essential property protection to avoid negative impacts on adjacent roadways and vehicles traveling on those roadways and potential property damage resulting from erosion or fire hazards but results in a far less visually pleasing environment than is created with the enhanced levels of services associated with the regular landscape maintenance provided in the various Districts. For most agencies, the cost to provide this baseline level of service for mostly flat or moderately- sloped street landscaped areas (landscaping within the street right-of way) is less than $560 per acre (approximately $0.01285 per square foot) including medians, parkway and streetscape side panels; less than $448 per acre (approximately $0.01028 per square foot) for non -street public areas such as parks, park/basins, greenbelts, and trail areas; and less than $ 224 per acre (approximately $0.00514 per square foot) for natural open space areas or other limited access areas such as enclosed basin areas . This baseline servicing, unlike the enhanced aesthetic services funded through the District assessments, would provide benefits to the general public and to the properties both within and outside of the specific Districts. The cost of providing this baseline service along with a five percent (5%) cost factor for City overhead and administration is treated as the cost of general benefit from landscape maintenance services. Therefore, for mostly flat or moderately-sloped street landscaped areas a rate of $0.01349 per square foot ($0.01285 + 5%) is applied to calculate the general benefit costs for the assessed improvements; for non - street public areas a rate of $0.01079 per square foot ($0.01028 + 5%) is applied to calculate the general benefit costs for the assessed improvements; and for non -street public areas a rate of $0.00540 per square foot ($0.00514 + 5%) is applied to calculate the general benefit costs for the assessed improvements. Collectively these baseline general benefit costs are funded by the City and excluded from the potential assessment funding and are shown in the District budgets (Part III of this Report) as “General Benefit.”
Hanford Landscaping and Lighting Assessment Districts
Engineer’s Annual Report
Fiscal Year 2024/2025
Street Lighting General Benefit
For fiscal year 2024/2025, not all Districts are assessed for street light improvements. While potentially, some street lights associated with a given District, may be located at the entryway or on the perimeter of the development(s) within the District and may arguably provide some illumination that extends beyond the boundaries of the developments and parcels being assessed, and may indirectly enhance the safety of members of the public unassociated with the assessed parcel s (illuminating traffic lanes and/or parking on those perimeter streets), such benefits are considered an indirect consequence of the special benefits to properties within the Districts. Furthermore, if the properties within the Districts were not developed , any street lights that may be located at the entryways or on the perimeter of the developments would not have been installed. Clearly these street lights exist solely because of the development of assessed parcels, and the primary purpose of these lights is to provide illumination to access the assessed parcels, Therefore we conclude that the cost of providing the street lights within the existing Districts are entirely a special benefit to the properties being assessed in each District and there is no quantifiable general benefit to properties outside the Districts or the public at large.
Assessment Methodology
To assess benefits equitably it is necessary to calculate each property’s proportionate special benefits conferred by the funded improvements and service. The Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) method of assessment apportionment is commonly utilized for assessment districts formed under the 1972 Act, as the benefit to each parcel from the improvements may be apportioned as a function of comparable property characteristics which utilizes a basic unit (base value) of benefit and then calculates the benefit derived by each asses sed parcel either at that base unit or as a multiple (or a fraction) of that basic unit. In accordance with the provisions of the California Constitution and the 1972 Act, the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel within the vario us Districts shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the cost to maintain, operate and service the improvements within each District. Consistent with the method of apportionment established at the formation of each District, it has been determined that the developments and/or planned development of the properties within each District required or facilitated the installation of the improvements to be funded in whole or in part by the District assessments, and that such improvements (both lands caping and lighting) would otherwise not be necessary and those improvements benefit each lot/parcel equally. Therefore, collectively the particular and distinct benefits to each lot/parcel within each respective District are equally shared and one hundred percent (100%) of the fiscal year 2024/2025 special benefit expenses is proportionately and equally allocated and shared by each development lot and each of these parcels/lots are assigned one (1.0) EBU, excluding parcels or lots that may be part of the improvement areas being maintained.
Hanford Landscaping and Lighting Assessment Districts
Engineer’s Annual Report
Fiscal Year 2024/2025
Calculation of Assessments
An assessment amount per Lot or Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) in each District is calculated in the following manner.
Taking the “Total Annual Expenses” (Total Budgeted Costs) and subtracting the “General Benefit ” (Expenses Funded by the City), to establish the “Special Benefit Expenses;” Total Annual Expenses - General Benefit = Special Benefit Expenses To the resulting “Special Benefit Expenses,” various “Funding Adjustments” may be applied that may include, but are not limited to:
➢ “Reserve Fund Collection or (Transfer),” represents an amount being collected and added to the Reserve Fund or available existing Reserve Funds being applied (“Transferred”) to pay a portion of the Special Benefit Expenses for the fiscal year. ➢ “City Loan and/or Service Reductions,” represents a further adjustment that addresses the funding gap between the amount budgeted to provide the improvements and services (“Special Benefit Expenses”); and the amount that will be collected through the assessments. This funding gap may be addressed by an additional City contribution, reductions in service and service expenses, or a combination of the two. If the City provides an additional City Contribution to support the operation and maintenance for a given fiscal year, that contribution is carried forward as a deficit applied to the Beginning Fund Balance in the next fiscal year.
These adjustments to the Special Benefit Expenses result in the net special benefit amount to be assessed “Balance to Levy;”
Special Benefit Expenses +/- Funding Adjustments = Balance to Levy The amount identified as the “Balance to Levy” is divided by the total number of Lots or EBUs for the parcels that receive special benefit to establish the “Assessment Rate” for the fiscal year. This Rate is then applied back to each parcel’s individual EBU to calculate the parcel’s proportionate special benefit and assessment for the improvements.
Balance to Levy / Total Lots/EBUs = Assessment Rate (for the fiscal year) Assessment Rate x Parcel’s EBU = Parcel Assessment Amount

Part III - Estimate of Costs
Annual Inflationary Adjustment (Assessment Range Formula) Pursuant to Article XIII D of the California Constitution (Proposition 218), any “new or increased assessments” require certain noticing and balloting requirements. However, Government Code Section 54954.6(a) provides that a “new or increased assessment” does not include “ an assessment which does not exceed an assessment formula or range of assessments...previously adopted by the agency or approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed.” This definition of a new or increased assessment is reaffirmed in the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act, Government Code Section 53753.5.
Currently, the maximum assessment rates identified in this Report for Districts 90 -01, 90 -02, 90-03, 90-04, 91-01, 92-01, 92-02, 93-01, 94-01, 94-02, 94-03, 97-01, 97-02, 97-03, 98-01, and 98-02 are fixed maximum assessment rates that do not include any inflationary adjustment.
However, either at the time of formation or in a subsequent proceeding the maximum assessments for Districts 93-02, 01-01, 01-02, 01-03, 01-04, 02-01, 03-01, 04-01, 04-02, 04-03, 04-04, 05 -01, 05 -02, 06 -01, 07-02, 09-01, 09 -02, 14 -01, 15 -01, 15 -02, 16 -01, 16 -02, 18-01, 19-01, 19-02, 20-01, and 21-01 were balloted for a new or increased assessment s that include an inflationary adjustment (assessment range formula).
As previously adopted and approved by the City Council for the Districts with an inflationary adjustment, each fiscal year the maximum assessment rate established for the improvements in the previous fiscal year for each District may be adjusted by the percentage increase in the Local Consumer Price Index (CPI). The Consumer Price Index used for the inflationary adjustment shall be for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, San Francisco -Oakland-San Jose Area, as developed by U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The CPI used shall be as determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for a similar period of time.
January 1, of each calendar year (“Adjustment Date”), the City shall identify the percentage change in the CPI, using the difference over a 12-month period between the current year and of the previous year as of the Adjustment Date (typically December to December). This percentage difference shall then establish the range of increase to the maximum assessment rates allowed.
If the percentage change in the CPI is negative, the maximum assessment rates shall not be adjusted from the previous fiscal year (unchanged). Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will be the sole judge of the comparability of successive indexes, but if the Bureau of Labor Statistics fail to supply indexes it deems comparable or if no succeeding index is published, the City shall determine an appropriate published price index as approved by the City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living.
The annual change in CPI from December 20 22 to December 202 3 as reported by the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics was 2.8 percent. Therefore, the maximum assessment rates for fiscal year 2023/2024 will be increased by 2.8 percent for fiscal year 2024/2025 in those Districts with a previously approved inflationary adjustment including, Districts 93-02, 01-01, 01-02, 01-03, 01- 04, 02-01, 03-01, 04-01, 04-02, 04-03, 04-04, 05-01, 05-02, 06-01, 07-02, 09-01, 09-02, 14-01, 15-01,15-02,16-01,16-02, 18-01, 19-01, 19-02, 20-01, and 21-01.
Hanford Landscaping and Lighting Assessment Districts
Engineer’s Annual Report
Fiscal Year 2024/2025
This assessment range formula or inflationary adjustment provides for the District maximum assessment rate applicable for the prior fiscal year to be increased each subsequent fiscal year which is consistent with the California Constitution and the above-referenced Government Code sections.
The adoption of the maximum assessment rates and the Assessment Range Formula does not mean that the annual assessments will necessarily increase each fiscal year, nor does it absolutely restrict the assessments to the annually adjusted maximum assessment rate. Although the maximum assessment rate that may be levied shall be increased by this assessment range formula for each applicable District each fiscal year, the actual amount to be assessed will be based on the Balance to Levy for that fiscal year. If the calculated assessment rate is less than the adjusted maximum assessment rate, then the calculated assessment rate may be approved by the City Council for collection. If the calculated assessment rate (based on the proposed budget) is greater than the adjusted maximum assessment rate for that fiscal year, then the assessment would be considered an increased assessment and would require property owner approval through a protest ballot proceeding before imposing such an increase. Otherwise, it would be nec essary to reduce the budget or provide funding from other sources to the City to reduce the Balance to Levy to an amount that can be supported by an assessment rate less than or equal to the adjusted maximum assessment rate authorized for that fiscal year.
Annual District Budgets
The following budget pages outline the estimated costs to maintain and service the various landscaping and lighting improvements described in this Report for fiscal year 2024/2025.
The budgeted expenses outlined in the following pages for each District reflect the estimated annual expenses required to support and maintain the improvements to be provided for fiscal year 2024/2025. T he Total Annual Expenses minus the general benefit expenses (expenses not assessed and identified as the City’s financial obligation to support the improvements) plus any Reserve Fund Collection result in the amount of funding the property owners should reasonably be assessed to fully fund their proportional special benefit from those improvements . Negative Funding Adjustments (Reserve Fund Transfers or City Loan and/or Service Reductions) represent additional funding that is required from either the existing Reserve Funds or from the City to fully support the maintenance and servicing of the improvements.
