AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 12/2/2025 AGENDA SECTION: STUDY SESSION

SUBJECT:

Presentation from R3 Consultants on the Prop 218 Rate Study for the Refuse Division and set a hearing date for consideration for approval

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation:

That City Council receives a presentation from R3 Consulting Group on the progress of a rate study for the City of Hanford's Refuse Division and provide direction to staff and R3 Consultants for setting a public hearing date and consideration for approval.

Recommended Motion:

That Council provides direction to staff and R3 Consultants for the rate study and setting a hearing date in the future for consideration for approval.

BACKGROUND:

At the April 1, 2025 Council meeting staff gave a presentation on the current challenges within the Refuse Division. At that meeting, Council provided direction to staff to start an RFP for a future rate study. Staff issued an RFP and received multiple proposals. Staff then evaluated each proposal and selected R3 Consultants to conduct the rate study.

Staff returned to Council at the July 1, 2025 meeting with award of the rate study being awarded to R3 Consultants.

The City of Hanford Refuse Fund is a self-supporting enterprise fund that provides services for a fee.

Charges for service through rates are the primary source of funding for operations and also fund a significant portion of the Refuse Divisions capital improvement projects. Developer fees are the other funding source for capital projects. However, impact fees paid by developers are legally limited to addressing the impacts caused by the development. For example, a project's impact fees may not be used to address normal wear and tear to infrastructure improvements that are not caused by that project.

It has been approximately three years since the City of Hanford's last refuse rate study. The last increase in the refuse rates was on July 1, 2025, in the amount of 4%. Due to unforeseen and unaccounted increases in tipping fees, unfunded mandates from the State of California and airboard regulations, the refuse fund is operating in the negative and requires a potential rate increase to support the services provided to the residents of Hanford.

The City Council has the sole authority to approve rate changes when necessary to ensure the continued recovery of costs for services and to secure reinvestment in the sytem infrastructure for long-term sustainability.

Proposition 218 (Prop 218), approved in 1996, adds Article XIII D (Voter approval for local tax levies) to the California Constitution. All property related fees, such as solid waste fees and charges, must meet Prop 218's requirements. It applies to most utility charges and fees. However, electric and gas utility charges were specifically exempted from the definition of property-related charges in the statute. The City is required to provide notice of proposed increases to the solid waste collection service fees and charges to all affected ratepayers and record the receipt of all written protests during a public hearing. Prop 218 prohibits increases to fees and charges if a majority of the affected ratepayers submit written opposition to the proposed increase.

The City's Solid Waste (Refuse) Division is faced with many current and future challenges, including aging equipment, unfunded State mandates stipulating diversion rates that must be passed onto the rate payers, and increased tipping fees at KWRA. At the time of the last prop 218 rate study, the tipping fees at KWRA were $58 a ton for MSW, $40 a ton for recycling and $40 a ton for green waste.

Currently, the rates are $75 a ton for MSW (29% increase), $55 a ton for recycling (48% increase) and $40 a ton for green waste (no change), increases that drastically affected the division's operating budget.

Recent changes to the state mandate for diversion to landfills have drastically increased as well. The prior requirement for commercial diversion was any account that produced four (4) yards of waste a week. The new mandate requires that the City establishes commercial recycling for any account that produces one (1) yard of waste a week, essentially encompassing all commercial business.

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has established recent air quality control mandates as well. Previously, all heavy trucks were required to have a smoke test performed annually. New regulations are stricter and require smoke testing every three (3) months, creating additional downtime for an already aging fleet. CARB is also requiring that all government fleets replace all heavy vehicles with 2010 model year or older. Although staff have been working relentlessly to stay up to date on the mandates and ahead of the requirements, the costs of both residential and commercial trucks have increased dramatically, and the current refuse fund is unable to keep up.

There are no non-critical improvements being proposed in this rate study in order to keep any increases as low as possible.

Staff worked closely with R3 Consulting in developing the proposed rate structure and have only included actual needs for the division to meet industry standards, as recommended.

R3 Consulting and staff will present to Council the preliminary look at the needs of the Refuse Division and seek Council's direction on how to draft a final report before final public notification and public hearings.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact at this time. City Council's direction today will help shape how the City is able to adequately fund the Refuse Division and its capital needs.

The proposed five-year refuse rate plan will fund local and state requirements while maintaining future operating and capital costs, maintain reserve levels and financial metrics that comply with approved fiscal reserve policies, and maintain current bond ratings to keep current and potential borrowing costs for capital improvements low.

Based on Council's direction today, staff and R3 Consulting will bring back an updated draft study for consideration to prepare all documents necessary for public noticing of a rate proposal, to update the proposed rate schedules to reflect changes due to the rate proposal, and to update any other documents necessary for the publicic hearing.

City of Hanford – Refuse Rate Study
– Presentation Agenda
Ø Objectives
Ø Cost Issues to be Aware of
Ø Rate Comparison
Ø Major Findings from the Performance Review
Ø Major Findings from the Financial Review
Ø Proposed Commercial Rates
Ø 5-Year Rate Adjustment Scenarios
Ø Recommended Action / Next Steps
2

Objectives
ØConduct a high-level performance review of the
Solid Waste Division’s operations;
ØDevelop a Rate Model and a 10-year financial
forecast for the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund;
and,
ØDevelop five (5) year rate adjustment scenarios
that will generate sufficient revenue to enable
the Enterprise Fund to continue to effectively
operate.
3

Cost Issues to be Aware Of
Ø The City new Deputy Public Works Director and Community Enhancement Officer are providing support to the Division.

Ø Many residential carts are reaching their useful life and need to be replaced. The Division plans to replace many residential carts over the next 5+ years.

Ø Approximately 75% of commercial accounts (1,000) do not have recycling service as required by SB 1383. Providing that service will require additional recycling containers, vehicles and drivers.

Ø Electric vehicles will require significant capital investment, as well as trained mechanics to maintain those vehicles.

Ø The Rate Model does not account for any electric vehicle costs during the 5-year rate setting period.
4

Costs Included in Rate Model
Ø The Rate Model accounts for the following new costs:
§ GPS Route Management Software
§ Community Enhancement Officer
§ Deputy Public Works Director
§ Refuse Administrative Assistant
§ Additional Route Drivers (expanded commercial recycling + growth)
§ $600K annual funding to the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Reserve Fund
§ $120K annual funding for new corporation yard
Ø The Rate Model assumes 0% increase to Disposal
Expense (KWRA Tip Fee)
5

Major Findings – Performance Review
ØThe Division is doing a good job operating the
City’s residential and commercial solid waste
collection systems given available resources.

ØExisting resources are not adequate to support
an operation that is in line with industry
standards.

ØIf provided with the necessary resources, we
see no reason why the Division cannot operate
to industry standards.
6

Major Findings – Performance Review
ØAdditional Industry Standard Requirements
include:
§ A solid waste collection specific safety program.
§ A vehicle fleet that is sufficient in number and
type, well maintained by dedicated mechanics,
and replaced as scheduled.
§ A customer relations management (CMR) system
that provides a real-time link between route drivers
and customer service / billing representatives.
§ Additional management and
administrative/analytical staff support.
7

Major Findings – Rate Comparison
Ø The City’s current residential and commercial rates compare favorably to the rates in many other jurisdictions in the region. 8

Major Findings – Financial Review
ØA high-level cost of service analysis found that
residential, commercial and street sweeping
rates are generally consistent with the
associated cost of service.

ØThe Division had an Operating Reserve shortfall
of $3.0 million entering this Fiscal Year (FY).

ØThe Division’s budget projects a current FY
shortfall of $274,000.
9

Major Findings – Financial Review
ØThe Division had $618,000 in Impact Fee Reserves
for new capital expenses entering this FY.

ØThe Rate Model assumes $600,000 in additional
annual funding for projected capital expenses
(carts, containers, vehicles).

ØThe Division had $5.3 million in its Vehicle
Replacement Reserve entering this FY.

ØThe Division’s current approved budget includes
$1.1 million in contributions to the Vehicle
Replacement Reserve.

ØThe Rate Model assumes that $1.1 million annual
contribution will continue over the 10-year modeling
period.
1 0

Commercial Rates
Ø The City currently has separate rates for commercial
trash, recycling and organic services with the rate the same for each of those three commodities.

Ø Commercial trash, recycling and organic services are
largely provided with front-loading vehicles with a 1-
yard container the smallest size offered.

Ø The larger commercial accounts that were required
to recycle prior to SB 1383 were recycling.

Ø SB 1383 requires all commercial accounts to recycle.

As a result, there are now significantly more
accounts that need to receive recycling service.

Ø Of the 1,000 accounts that are not currently
recycling, 200 subscribe to the minimum level of
weekly trash service (i.e., 1 yard one time per week).
11

Commercial Rates
Ø Those 200 accounts will not be able to reduce
that trash service level by recycling.

Ø To minimize the rate impact to these accounts,
the City plans to offer a new every-other-week
recycling service at 50% of the weekly rate
(~$40/month additional cost).
§ Pending the implementation of routing software and
an account specific waste assessment.
12

5-Year rate Adjustment Scenarios –
No KWRA Fee Increase
Ø Scenario 1 – 1 Year Catchup
§ 12% + 5% each of the following 4 years
Division is in the black at the end of Year 1
($31.51 residential rate Year 2)
Ø Scenario 2 – 2 Year Catchup
§ 10% + 7% + 5% each of the following 3 years Division is in the black at the end of Year 2
($31.53 residential rate Year 2)
13 KWRA Tip Fee - Any Increase to KRWA
Tip Fee with require corresponding pass-
though increase to City’s collection rate.

5-Year rate Adjustment Scenarios
Assumes KWRA Fee Increase
Ø Scenario 1 – 15% + 5% each of the following 4 years
Ø Scenario 2 – 10% + 10% + 5% each of the following 3 years 14 KWRA Tip Fee – Assumes 3.35% annual
increase in KRWA Fees over the 5-year
planning period = $91.40 Solid Waste Tip
Fee by FY 30/31 (currently $75.00).

Authorize the Mayor to Execute a Letter of Support in lieu of an Amicus Brief in support of Kings County Farm Bureau legal efforts related to water with the State

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: Authorize the Mayor to execute a Letter of Support in lieu of an Amicus Brief in support of Kings County Farm Bureau legal efforts related to water with the State

Recommended Motion: I move to Authorize the Mayor to execute a Letter of Support in lieu of an Amicus Brief in support of Kings County Farm Bureau legal efforts related to water with the State BACKGROUND:

The Kings County Farm Bureau (KCFB) is actively engaged in advocacy and legal efforts intended to protect and promote the interests of the agricultural community in Kings County. These efforts often involve complex regulatory and legal issues related to water that have direct impacts on local farmers, ranchers, and related industries, many of which are vital to Hanford’s economy.

KCFB presented to City Council in November 2025 and requested support from local jurisdictions.

While some partners may choose to participate through formal amicus briefs, the time for those is no longer applicable as the appellate court has issued a ruling in KCFB’s matter and there is no longer an opportunity for the City to file such a brief. Providing a Letter of Support allows the City to express its position in regards to KCFB's efforts.

If approved, the City Manager, with City Attorney review, will draft a letter of support for execution by the Mayor.

Recommendation:

That the City Council, by motion, approve the purchase of two (2) 2026 Ford Maverick vehicles from Keller Ford of Hanford, CA in the total amount of $62,229.50 fully funded by Measure H.

Recommended Motion:

BACKGROUND:

In 2024, the citizens of Hanford approved Measure H, which includes a defined expenditure plan outlining how and where funds are to be allocated.

SUBJECT:

Waiver of second reading and adoption of Ordinance 2025-08, approving Zone Text Amendment No. 2025-12, a request to amend Title 17, Section 17.56.200, Property maintenance and add Chapter

9.12 – Graffiti: in order to establish regulations for abatement of graffiti on public and private property.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: Introduce and waive the first reading of Ordinance No. 2025-26, approving Zone Text Amendment 2025-12.

Recommended Motion: I move to introduce and waive the first reading of Ordinance No. 2025-08, approving Zone Text Amendment 2025-12.

BACKGROUND:

At the July 15, 2025, and August 19, 2025, City Council meetings, Council received a presentation regarding the current process for graffiti abatement. Following the presentation, Council directed staff to update the Municipal Code by removing graffiti from the Zoning Ordinance and establishing a new abatement process in the Municipal Code.

The proposed ordinance incorporates provisions from State Law concerning the sale and possession of graffiti implements. The notice and removal process requires the City to issue two notices before the City enforces the ordinance against a landowner. The first notice directs the property owner to remove graffiti within 10 business days. If the graffiti is not removed within that period, a second and final notice is issued, providing an additional 20 business days before the City may abate the graffiti.

The ordinance also authorizes the City Manager, or designee, to enter into an agreement with a property owner or lessee to remove graffiti using City crews or contractors, subject to reimbursement or waiver conditions. If the City initiates abatement, the associated costs may be recovered through a lien or special assessment against the property.

The Hanford Planning Commission recommended approval of the Ordinance with a proposed changed to require graffiti to be removed from public property within the same timeframe as removal requirements for private property (30 business days).

In taking action on a Zone Text Amendment, the City Council must make the appropriate findings, in accordance with the Hanford Municipal Code:

1. The amendment is internally consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General

Plan and this title;

ANALYSIS: That according to General Plan Policy L121, Encourage the maintenance of private property within the city’s neighborhoods, and actively enforce the City’s codes related to blight. The revision of the Hanford Municipal Code is consistent with the policies of the General Plan, as it encourages the maintenance of private property.

2. The amendment would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of the community;

ANALYSIS: That the revision of Section 17.56.200 and the addition of CHAPTER 9.12 of the Hanford Municipal Code is not detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of the community as it encourages the maintenance of private property within the City's neighborhoods.

3. The amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City;

ANALYSIS: That the amendment will not affect the balance of land uses within the City of Hanford.

The zone text amendment pertains to graffiti regulations, only.

4. The anticipated land uses on the subject site would be compatible with existing and future surrounding uses;

ANALYSIS: That the zone text amendment applies to graffiti and will not propose a change in land uses.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None with this action. Graffiti abatement performed by the city could be recovered.

L. Failure to address graffiti for longer than 48 hours from the time that graffiti is placed on a surface;

Chapter 9.12 – Graffiti

9.12.010 Purpose
A. The purpose of this chapter is to provide for the prompt abatement of graffiti from public and private properties in the city; to provide for methods of controlling the sale to and the unauthorized use of aerosol paint containers and wide tipped marker pens by minors; and to encourage citizens to report occurrences of graffiti vandalism within the city.

B. Due to the increase of graffiti vandalism on both public and private property, a condition has arisen within the city which has resulted in a deterioration of property values and concern for the quality of life of the city’s citizens. The city council finds and determines that graffiti constitutes a public nuisance which, left unabated, adversely affects the city’s image, business development, retail sales, and residential housing costs. Allowing graffiti to remain on public or private property encourages additional occurrences of graffiti, fuels fear among the community, and depreciates the value of the affected property and surrounding properties.

C. The purpose of this chapter is, therefore, to minimize the impact graffiti has on the city’s quality of life, economic stability, environmental image, and sense of safety and security.

Because the existence of graffiti tends to breed community discontent and criminal or gang-related activities, this chapter will mitigate these problems through timely removal and control of graffiti vandalism.

9.12.020 Definitions.
“Abatement and related administrative costs” includes, but is not limited to, court costs, attorney’s fees, cost of removal of the graffiti or other inscribed material and costs of repair and replacement of defaced property, and the enforcement costs incurred by the City. “Graffiti” is defined as, but not limited to, an unauthorized inscription, word, figure, design, writing, or picture marked, etched, scratched, drawn, or painted upon any public or private property or any structure, wall, fence, sidewalk, sign, public utility box, or any structural component of any building, bridge, structure, or facility in public view within the city.

9.12.030 Sale of aerosol paint containers or wide tipped marker pens to minors

It is unlawful for any person to sell, offer to sell, or cause to be sold any aerosol or pressurized container of paint and/or any wide tipped marker pens exceeding four millimeters in width, containing anything other than a water-soluble solution, to any person under the age of eighteen (18) years who is not accompanied by a responsible adult.

9.12.040 Possession by minors
It is unlawful for any person under eighteen (18) years of age, in a public place or on private property without consent of the owner or operator and not accompanied by a responsible adult, to possess (1) an aerosol or pressurized container of paint, and/or (2) wide tipped marker pens with tips exceeding four millimeters in width that contain other than a water- soluble solution.

9.12.050 Control
Any retail commercial establishment selling aerosol containers or wide tipped marker pens exceeding four millimeters in width containing non-water-soluble substances shall store such items in an area viewable by but not directly accessible to the public without employee assistance.

9.12.060 Signs required
Retailers engaged in the sale of such aerosol containers or wide tipped marker pens shall display at the point of sale a clearly visible and legible sign stating:
“It is unlawful for any person to sell, lend, or give to any individual under the age of eighteen (18) years, who is not accompanied by a responsible adult, an aerosol or pressurized container of paint or wide tipped marker pens exceeding four (4) millimeters in width, containing anything other than a water-soluble solution.”

9.12.070 Removal
A. General. It is unlawful for any person to apply graffiti to any public or private property located within the city. Any person applying graffiti within the city shall remove it within twenty-four (24) hours after notice by the city or property owner.

Failure to do so constitutes an additional violation of this chapter. Consistent with Cal.

Civil Code § 1714.1 where graffiti is applied by minors, the parent or guardian shall be responsible for such removal or payment of costs thereof.

B. Public Property. Graffiti on city property shall be removed within 30 business days.

Graffiti on property of another public entity may only be removed by the city with written consent and waiver from that entity.

C. Private Property – Notice and Removal.

1. Where graffiti is located on private property visible from a public right-of-way, it is the property owner’s duty to remove it. If not promptly removed, the city shall serve written notice of the location and description of graffiti and the owner’s obligation to remove it.

2. First Notice: Property owner shall commence removal within 10 business days of service by mail or personal delivery.

3. Second Notice: If graffiti remains after the first period, a 20-business-day final notice shall be issued, requiring complete removal within that period.

4. Notices shall be served by one of the following methods:
a. Personal service;
b. First class mail, postage prepaid, to each person identified at the address as it appears on the last equalized assessment roll of the county, or as otherwise known to the Code Enforcement Officer. The address of the property owner shown on the assessment roll shall be conclusively deemed to be the property address for the purpose of service of the administrative citation. Service by mail in the manner described above shall be effective on the date of mailing.

The failure of the person with an interest in the property to receive any notice in accordance with this section shall not affect the validity of any proceedings taken under this chapter. If the owner of record, after diligent search cannot be found, the notice may be served by posting a copy thereof in a conspicuous place upon the property for a period of ten (10) calendar days.

5. Proof of service of a notice served pursuant to this chapter shall be documented at the time of service by a declaration under penalty of perjury executed by the person effecting service, declaring the date and manner in which service was made.

6. If the owner fails to act after both notices, the city may abate graffiti and recover abatement and related administrative costs.

7. Alternative Abatement Agreement. The City Manager or designee may enter into an agreement with the property owner to abate graffiti using city crews or contractors, subject to reimbursement or waiver conditions.

8. City’s Release From Liability. Any abatement by the City at an owner’s consent requires a release of liability signed by the property owner.

9. Failure to Remove. If the owner fails to remove graffiti after both notices or fails to request abatement assistance, the City may abate the graffiti and assess abatement and administrative costs as a lien or special assessment against the affected property. Abatement and administrative costs not paid by a landowner

within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of a request for payment from City shall be deemed delinquent and will be subject to a ten percent (10%) late fee and interest on delinquent abatement and administrative costs will incur interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.

10. The Code Enforcement Officer shall keep an itemized account of the expenses and costs incurred by the City in the work and abatement of any graffiti on private property. Upon completion of the work and abatement, the Code Enforcement Officer shall prepare a report specifying the work and abatement performed, the itemized costs of the work on the property, including direct and indirect costs, a description of the property, and the names and addresses of the persons entitled to service pursuant to this Chapter 9.12. Each person named in the notice shall be jointly and severally liable for such work and abatement costs and administrative expenses, and the amount of such costs and expenses shall be a debt owed to the city. Such report shall be served upon the responsible persons identified therein, together with a demand that the amount identified therein be paid within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the report.

9.12.080 Notice of Lien and Collection of Confirmed Assessment A. If an owner fails to pay the city’s costs of graffiti abatement within ten (10) calendar days of the owner’s receipt of the city’s written request for payment or within ten (10) calendar days after the date of the decision of the hearing officer should the hearing officer affirm the costs of abatement, the city’s Code Enforcement Officer may execute and file in the office of the county recorder a notice of lien of substantially the following form:

2. First class mail and posting the notice of hearing conspicuously on or in front of

the property on which the violation is located.

D. The failure of any person with an interest in the property to receive such notice of hearing shall not affect the validity of any proceedings taken under this chapter. Service by mail in the manner described above shall be deemed effective on the date of mailing.

E. Failure of any person to file an appeal in accordance with the provisions of this section shall constitute a failure to exhaust administrative remedies and will be waiver of that person's rights to administrative determination of the merits of the notice of violation and any amount assessed for the City’s abatement and administrative costs.

F. The City Council shall designate or appoint a hearing officer, and in no event shall the Code Enforcement Officer, nor any other officer or employee in his or her department, be the hearing officer for appeals occurring under this Chapter 9.12.

4. The failure of an appealing party to appear at the appeal hearing shall constitute a failure to exhaust his/her/their administrative remedies.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: That the City Council, by motion, waive and adopt the second reading of Ordinance No. 2025-09, approving Zone Text Amendment 2025-11.

BACKGROUND:

The proposed ordinance provides an alternative approach that would allow feather flags under specified restrictions to balance business visibility needs with community aesthetics and safety.

A summary of the proposed changes is provided below:

Location Restrictions
• Prohibited in rights-of-way, drive aisles/parking spaces, multiuse trails, or sidewalks that block a 4-foot pedestrian path.
• Cannot block pedestrian access or be placed within:
o 10 feet of a permanent freestanding sign,
o 10 feet of another portable/temporary freestanding sign, o 30 feet of a street intersection.

Placement & Size Standards
• Must be located on the same private property as the business using the sign. • Maximum size: 16 sq. ft.; Maximum height: 10 ft.

• Must be at least 7 ft. from the curb or pavement edge. • Cannot obstruct sight distance or view corridors

Design & Materials
• Constructed of durable, professional-quality materials (vinyl, polyethylene, fabric, etc.). • Must be well-maintained, free of fading, damage, and wear.

Quantity & Timing
• Minimum of 1 portable sign per parcel is allowed.
• Maximum of 1 sign per 30 linear feet of street frontage. • May only be displayed during business hours (½ hour before opening to ½ hour after closing).

Special Restrictions
• Feather flags are prohibited in the Downtown Mixed Use (MX-D) zone.

The Hanford Planning Commission recommended approval of the Ordinance.

In taking action on a Zone Text Amendment, the City Council must make the appropriate findings, in accordance with the Hanford Municipal Code:

1. The amendment is internally consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan and this title;

ANALYSIS: That according to General Plan Policy E11, the City of Hanford shall Strengthen the reputation of Hanford’s city government as one that is service-oriented and business friendly. The revision of Section 17.56.230 of the Hanford Municipal Code is consistent with the policies of the General Plan, as it continues the support of local businesses to advertise on their property.

2. The amendment would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of the community;

ANALYSIS: That the revision of Section 17.56.050, 17.56.150, 17.56.155, AND 17.56.310 of the Hanford Municipal Code is not detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of the community.

3. The amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City;

ANALYSIS: That the amendment will not affect the balance of land uses within the City of Hanford.

MEETING DATE: 12/2/2025 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Waiver of second reading and adoption of Ordinance 2025-07, approving Zone Text Amendment No. 2025-10, a request to amend Title 17, Section 17.56.230, Wall mural placement and design criteria: in order to comply with free speech requirements.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: Waive second reading of Ordinance No. 2025-07 and adopt Zone Text Amendment 2025-10.

Recommended Motion: I move to waive the second reading of and adopt Ordinance No. 2025-24, approving Zone Text Amendment 2025-10.

BACKGROUND:

In 2024, the Hanford City Council directed staff to review the current mural ordinance and evaluate whether changes were necessary to comply with free speech requirements and to create a new application process. Staff review of the ordinance at that time revealed that several design guidelines in HMC 17.56 related to murals are not enforceable, due to content-based restrictions. Except for obscene content and commercial advertisements, the City is not able to deny a mural permit based on the content of the mural.

Zoning Text Amendment 2024-01 removed the content-based requirements from the City's mural ordinance and replaced it with criteria that outline the application process but, due to a procedural issue, it is necessary to readopt the ordinance language.

Since content-based restrictions are unenforceable, the mural policy has been revised to eliminate discretionary approval and allow for staff-level approval. Staff will review each application to ensure that the necessary information has been provided, as well as ensure that the application does not propose a mural which is obscene in nature, or proposes commercial speech/depictions.

The Hanford Planning Commission has recommended adoption of the updated ordinance but has requested that the City expand the zones so that murals may be placed in all zones within the City instead of limiting their locations to the MX-D zone.

In taking action on a Zone Text Amendment, the City Council must make the appropriate findings, in accordance with Section 17.86.030 of the Hanford Municipal Code:

1. The amendment is internally consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General

Plan and this title;

ANALYSIS: That according to General Plan Policy E8, the City of Hanford shall support local arts and cultural activities that can contribute to the local economy, enrich residents’ lives, and strengthen a sense of community. The revision of Section 17.56.230 of the Hanford Municipal Code is consistent with the policies of the General Plan, as it continues the support of local arts activities that may enrich residents’ lives and strengthen a sense of community.

2. The amendment would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of the community;

ANALYSIS: That the revision of Section 17.56.230 of the Hanford Municipal Code is not detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of the community.

3. The amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City;

ANALYSIS: That the amendment will not affect the balance of land uses within the City of Hanford.

The zone text amendment pertains to mural regulations, only.

4. The anticipated land uses on the subject site would be compatible with existing and future surrounding uses;

ANALYSIS: That the zone text amendment applies to wall murals and will not propose a change in land uses.

The proposed mural policy and mural ordinance are attached. Pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, the project is exempt from environmental review.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation:

That the City Council, by motion, approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with BDM Inc. of Hanford, California in the amount of $133,811.25 for the supply and installation of twelve (12) HVAC units located at Hanford City Hall.

Recommended Motion:

I move, by motion, that the City Council, by motion, approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with BDM Inc. of Hanford, California in the amount of $133,811.25 for the supply and installation of twelve (12) HVAC units located at Hanford City Hall.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Hanford City Hall offices currently operate eighteen (18) different HVAC units and have cost the City $63,544 over the previous two fiscal years in repairs.

In 2012, the City of Hanford has allocated some Measure H funds for facility improvements. A first phase will be to replace sixteen (16) units at City Hall. Many of these units have exceeded their useful life and have become costly to maintain as well as severely inefficient, increasing the City’s energy consumption and operating expenses. Installing modern, energy-efficient units will reduce both utility costs and long-term maintenance burdens.

City staff solicited bids for this project and received seven (7) total bids from well-qualified vendors.

BDM Inc of Hanford, California submitted the lowest responsible bid at a total cost of $133,811.25.

FISCAL IMPACT:

City-owned building maintenance and improvements capital project is currently budgeted in the Measure H Fund for FY26 and can fully support this cost.

Utilities and Engineering: Approval to increase a current service contract with 4Creeks, Inc. in the total amount of $56,200.00 for the Preliminary Design of the intersection of Grangeville and 9th Avenue

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation:

That the City Council by motion approve an increase to a current service contract with 4Creeks, Inc. in the total amount of $56,200.00 for the Preliminary Design of the intersection of Grangeville and 9th Avenue

Recommended Motion:

I make a motion to approve an increase to a current service contract with 4Creeks, Inc. in the total amount of $56,200.00 for the Preliminary Design of the intersection of Grangeville and 9th Avenue BACKGROUND:

On March 28, 2025, Staff approved a Work Order with 4Creeks to perform Preliminary Engineering Design of the 9th Avenue at Grangeville Boulevard Roundabout project.

The contract amount was $36,850.00 and included:

1. Provide a preliminary geometric design of a roundabout at the intersection of 9th Ave and Grangeville Blvd as a means to improve vehicle and pedestrian safety, and to account for the future Heroes Park Development and future residential developments to the north.

2. Determine the amount of right of way that will need to be acquired to construct a roundabout at the intersection.

On July 2, 2025, Change Order No. 1 was approved in the amount of $9,750.00 to include:

1. Create conceptual street extensions in each direction of the roundabout, to show ultimate right-of-way and roadway connectivity.

2. Determine the location and number of power poles that need to be relocated to allow the ultimate street widths.

3. Provide additional exhibits to better understand the limits and obstacles for connecting

into the sanitary sewer system at the intersection of the future 9th Ave and Lacey Blvd.

The contract total after Change Order No. 1 was $46,600.00.

Due to the progression of development in the northwest quadrant of the intersection and the need to determine the alignment of 9th Avenue, the City required additional engineering services to finalize the geometric design of the roundabout and include utilities and project connections with Heroes Park and the proposed Copper Ridge subdivision development. Change Order No. 2 in the amount of $9,600.00 services include:

1. Provide additional drafting services that include, but are not limited to:
• Final geometrics of the roundabout at the 9th Ave and Grangeville Blvd. intersection. • Preliminary design or layout of underground wet utilities (sanitary sewer, water, storm drain). • Preliminary geometrics of the 9th Ave and Grangeville Blvd. roadway extensions.

2. Provide additional detailed design and to draft the proposed improvements for the extension of 9th Ave. from the south end of the Copper Ridge project boundary to Lacey Blvd. and for the extensions of Grangeville Blvd. that connect the future roundabout to 9-1/4 Ave. to the west and along the future Heroes Park frontage to the east.

The total contract with Change Order No. 2 amounts to $56,200.00. Per City policy, contracts exceeding $50,000 require approval by City Council.

The preliminary design and geometrics for 9th Avenue from Lacey Boulevard to north of Grangeville Boulevard to Copper Valley Subdivision boundary, Grangeville Boulevard from 9 ¼ Avenue to 8 ¾ Avenue, and the preliminary roundabout at the intersection of 9th Avenue and Grangeville Boulevard are completed. The city will be required to enter into a separate contract with a design engineer to provide complete plans and specifications for construction of these future improvements.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The 9th Avenue at Grangeville Boulevard project (21800000-825618) has a project budget balance of $9,600.00, which is available to cover the costs of Change Order #2. Due to the total project costs exceeding the $50,000.00 threshold limit, city policy requires that the City Council approve the project costs.

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 12/2/2025 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Authorization for the City Manager to execute a “One Time Only Agreement for the Positive Location of Underground Utilities” with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: That the City Council, by motion, authorize the City Manager to execute a “One Time Only Positive Location of Underground Utilities Agreement” with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).

Recommended Motion: I make a motion that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a “One Time Only Positive Location of Underground Utilities Agreement” with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).

BACKGROUND:

Staff was contacted by California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Right of Way Division requesting that the City of Hanford execute a “One Time Positive Utility Locations Agreement” allowing Caltrans to perform work to locate city facilities in their project area and within Caltrans Right of Way. The agreement allows Caltrans to perform bores within Caltrans Right of Way over City facilities (storm, sewer, water) to locate and identify them.

Caltrans is preparing a project along State Highway 198 within city limits where a positive location or "potholing" of the City of Hanford facilities within the highway right of way is required. The city has several locations along State Highway 198 and within Caltrans Right of Way where city utilities facilities are located. For Caltrans to perform their required work, they must field verify locations and types of utilities within their project area to determine if conflicts may exist, and to alter their design as may be necessary.

This one-time agreement will permit Caltrans to perform non-destructive vacuum extraction and electronic detection to determine the exact facility location and elevation at no expense to the city as the utility owner. Further, Caltrans will indemnify the City of Hanford of all liability with the testing procedures.

Should the City of Hanford choose not to sign the attached agreement, the City as the utility owner will be burdened to hire an engineering firm to conduct locating said utilities and prepare all mandated reports and mapping when notified by the State of California.

With an agreement, Caltrans will deliver written notification to the utility owner advising the City of the

testing and our contact information before any test is performed.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact with this agreement.

2. ("Owner").
"Owner" includes the Owner, its officers, agents, employees and contractors.

RECITALS:

A. Owner owns, operates or maintains underground utility facilities in the State of California.

B. In order to facilitate the planning, design and construction of Department's projects and to ensure the safety of the traveling public, the horizontal and vertical location and/or apparent visual condition of underground utilities must periodically be confirmed. These activities and their results are known as "positive location," and are commonly referred to as "potholing." Where referred to in this agreement, such positive location operations include, but are not limited to: vacuum excavation, electronic detection, probing, and external and internal video inspection.

C. In general, utility owners have been responsible for performing such positive location activities, with the cost of such activities apportioned as provided by California Law, Master Contracts or Department's Policies.

D. Department's needs frequently require the positive location of underground utilities more expeditiously than Owner can readily or economically provide.

E. Department is willing to assume control of the operation and cost of such positive location of underground utilities on a test basis to facilitate Department's needs from time to time as provided herein, and to determine if assuming the cost and operation of this work creates sufficient benefit to the Department to justify continuing the practice.

I move to authorize the City Manager to execute the purchase an Internal Lift Screw Pump from Evoqua Water Technologies LLC of Thomasville, GA in the amount of $1,325,000; and appropriate $450,000 from the Wastewater Fund (0362) for approximately 30% of the purchase price to place the order and to fund engineering expenditures through plan submittal.I
BACKGROUND:

This item requests the City Council's authorization to begin the purchase process of a new internal lift screw pump, which will replace Pump #1 of the Wastewater Treatment Facility’s (WWTF) headworks primary internal lift screw pump array.

The headworks of the WWTF is the first step in the wastewater treatment process, where the City’s entire conveyed wastewater enters the plant and undergoes primary treatment. The primary pumps are comprised of internal lift “screw” pumps that lift the wastewater to begin the treatment process through the facility. Preliminary treatment comprises screening raw sewage to remove inorganics such as trash, grit, and sand.

City Council authorized the procurement of the Internal Lift Screw Pump (Pump #3) from Evoque Water Technologies LLC at the December 3, 2024 City Council meeting. The WWTF headworks is designed to accommodate a total of three internal lift screw pumps. Pumps #1 and #2 are currently in operation and Pump #3 is currently being manufactured and once installed will complete the pump array.

At the March 5, 2024 City Council Meeting, City Council authorized the procurement of an emergency standby pump which serves as a temporary backup should the internal lift screw pumps (Pumps #1 and #2) fail. At the July 2, 2024 City Council Meeting, City Council approved a construction contract with W.M. Lyles of Fresno, CA for the installation of the emergency stand-by pump. At this time of writing this report, the installation of the standby pump has been completed and in use. This standby pump is critical to the operations of the WWTF should the primary internal lift screw pump(s) fail resulting in a catastrophic spill. The standby pump will be activated upon the malfunction or failure of one of the two degraded headwork primary pumps.

Also previously stated in the March 5, 2024 Staff Report, both existing internal lift screw pumps were installed in 2002 and have a life expectancy of 20-25 years. In that report, Staff also apprised City Council that the Wastewater Division had been experiencing a noticeable degradation in pump efficiency due to the pump flight failure within internal lift screw Pump #1. Therefore, due to their age and condition, an allocation of wastewater funds was made for this third pump and was included in the Mid-Cycle Amendment to the 2024-25 Fiscal Year Budget approved at the July 2, 2024 City Council Meeting. A replacement tube for internal lift screw Pump #1 was to be made later as a separate CIP project, which is now budgeted in FY2027.

As mentioned above, this new internal lift screw pump tube will complete a series of (3) working primary pumps. The headwork facilities was originally designed and constructed to include three primary pumps and if approved this internal lift screw pump will replace the current Internal Lift Screw Pump #1 within the wet well structure.

Procurement of this internal lift screw pump is a sole source purchase from Evoque Water Technologies since they are the sole manufacturer and provider of the primary pumps currently in use at the headworks facility.

The cost includes manufacturing, delivery, installation, field start-up services, and taxes. Note that the attached quote is good through December 31, 2025, and could be subject to steel cost fluctuations until the time the pump is released for manufacturing.

Staff recommends that the Internal Lift Screw Pump #1 be acquired at this time because of the needed reliability and added redundancy needed should Internal Lift Screw Pump #2 fail, as it has begun to further degrade, just as Internal Lift Screw Pump #1.

A minimum of two pumps are required because of the peak flows encountered especially during rain events when flows can double. A single Internal Lift Screw Pump normally runs 24/7 while a second internal lift screw pump helps supplement during rain events. Should either of the working pumps fail, Pump #1 cannot by itself be used as a redundant pump to handle the average daily flows. Therefore, it's critical to procure Pump Tube #1 since neither of the two pumps can be taken out of commission and because of the one-year lead time it takes to manufacture, deliver, and install a replacement internal lift screw pump.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Due to the critical need at the WTTF Headworks, approval of an appropriation in the amount of

$450,000 is recommended to begin the procurement process through Evoque Water Technologies LLC. A 10% deposit is required to start the order and 20% due upon submittal of the engineering drawings per the terms of the attached quotation. The total purchase amount is $1,325,000, but a 10% price increase is likely at the beginning of the year. 65% of the invoice balance will be due on the day of delivery and final 5% following commissioning of the pump. The pump manufacturing through delivery has an approximate 12-month duration.

The project is identified in the CIP as "Internal Lift Pump Tube #1" and budgeted in FY2027 in the amount of $1,050,000. A final and firm price will be negotiated with Evoque and the balance due will be appropriated as part of the mid-year budget review.

There are significant capital needs at the WWTF, therefore staff will continue to monitor the fund's ability to handle critical capital needs. A review of capital fund needs and balances will be reviewed during the budget process.

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 12/2/2025 AGENDA SECTION: GENERAL BUSINESS

SUBJECT:

Proposed changes to the Hanford Municipal Code regarding illegal fireworks, definitions, and application of administrative citation fines.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council waive the first reading of and pass Ordinance 25-11 to a second reading for purposes of adoption.

Recommended Motion: I move that the Council waive the first reading of and pass Ordinance 25-11 to a second reading for purposes of adoption.

BACKGROUND:

Over the past 5 years the City of Hanford has experienced a significant increase in illegal fireworks activity. This activity consists of confiscated pre-sale illegal fireworks taken off of the streets as well as an increase in the use of illegal fireworks within and adjacent to the city limits on and around July 4th each year. This marked increase has negatively impacted the public in terms of fire losses in residential and commercial property, as well as causing strain on the Firefighting and Law Enforcement resources that protect the City of Hanford.

In September of 2024, staff researched best practices in several areas to address this problem and over the next year beta-tested several methods to address the growing issue. Once these beta tests were completed, staff compiled the results to formulate a comprehensive approach to the issues. In September of 2025, staff presented these findings to Council in study sessions as well as in public meetings to propose 3 options to address the issues. City Council opted to implement the “It’s Not Worth It Campaign.” This campaign increases staffing and funding for both Fire and Police resources on the days immediately before the 4th of July, as well as changes Municipal Code language to bolster compliance for an “It’s Not Worth It Campaign”. The increase in staffing and funding for both Fire and Law Enforcement would occur only over the 3-day period, beginning on July 3rd through July 5th each year.

To improve the City's (Fire Department’s) ability to identify and hold accountable those responsible for selling, possessing, or using dangerous or illegal fireworks, the City Council unanimously approved two measures as part of the “It’s Not Worth It” campaign: directing that a Hanford Municipal Code amendment be prepared to clarify that each illegal fireworks device is a separate offense and authorizing the use of drones to identify problem areas within the city.

The proposed Ordinance accompanying this staff report addresses the issue described above and clarifies existing fireworks provisions. The proposed Municipal Code amendment will result in the levying of a separate fine for each dangerous fireworks device possessed by a person. For example, if a person is caught in possession of five (5) dangerous fireworks devices, the violator will receive a citation with five (5) corresponding fines.

A separate resolution will be presented to the City Council in the future regarding fireworks fine amounts. The resolution will establish a limit on total fines that may be imposed upon a person per day to ensure consistency with the 8th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits excessive fines.

These changes are necessary and have been well vetted and supported by the unanimous vote of the Hanford City Council all in an effort to create an “It’s not worth it” answer to the City of Hanford’s growing Illegal and Dangerous Fireworks issues.

FISCAL IMPACT:

These changes have No fiscal impact on the current adopted budget.

Exhibit
“A”

Hanford Municipal Code Section 8.11.070.C.1. is hereby amended to state:

Administrative Remedies. In addition to any other remedy available at law, an administrative citation may be issued to:

(i) Any person or entity who:

(a) possesses, uses, stores, sells and/or displays dangerous fireworks;

(b) possesses, uses, sells and/or displays safe and sane fireworks on or at dates, times, or locations other than those permitted; or

(c) otherwise engages in illegal fireworks activities or violates this chapter;

and

(ii) Any responsible person.

With respect to dangerous fireworks, the imposition of administrative fines under this chapter will, however, be limited to the possession, use, sale, and/or display of twenty-five (25) pounds or less of dangerous fireworks.

The possession, use, storage, sale, or display of a single dangerous fireworks device constitutes a distinct violation of this chapter, and each violation shall be subject to a separate administrative fine. For example (and for purposes of illustration only), if, at the time of citation issuance, a person is found to be in possession of five (5) dangerous fireworks devices, the violator shall be cited for five (5) distinct violations of this chapter, and each of the five (5) violations will be subject to a separate administrative fine.

Similarly, the prohibited possession, use, sale, or display of a single safe and sane fireworks device constitutes a distinct violation of this chapter, and each such violation shall be subject to a separate administrative fine.

1. Issuance of Citation.

a. Whenever the city's fire chief, police chief, or a designee of either determines that a violation of this chapter has occurred, the fire chief, the police chief, or a designee of either shall have the authority to issue an administrative citation to the violator and other responsible person.

b. Each administrative citation shall contain the following information:

i. The date of the violation or, if the date of the violation is unknown, then the date the violation is identified;

ii. The address or a definite description of the location where the violation occurred;

iii. The section of this chapter violated and a description of each violation;

iv. The amount of the fine for each violation;

v. A description of the fine payment process, including a description of the time within which and the place to which the fine shall be paid;

vi. An order prohibiting the continuation or repeated occurrence of the code violation described in the administrative citation;

vii. A description of the administrative citation review process, including the time within which the administrative citation may be contested and the place from which a request for hearing form to contest the administrative citation may be obtained; and

viii. The name and signature of the individual issuing the citation.

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 12/2/2025 AGENDA SECTION: GENERAL BUSINESS

SUBJECT:

Direction on Advertising Planning Commission Vacancies and Appointment Procedures

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: Provide direction to staff on the number of Planning Commission vacancies to advertise and the selection process for Planning Commissioner appointments in January 2026.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Hanford currently anticipates up to three Planning Commission vacancies due to a recent resignation, a potential vacancy related to attendance, and one expiring term.

1. Resignation
Commissioner Richard Douglas submitted his resignation, creating one vacant seat. Commissioner Douglas served several terms diligently on the Planning Commission. He has offered to continue serving until the City Council appoints a replacement, consistent with Hanford Municipal Code (HMC) § 2.20.030, which requires vacancies to be noticed and filled by mayoral appointment with Council approval.

2. Possible Vacancy Due to Attendance
Alternate Commissioner Marez has not formally resigned; however, his attendance record may meet the threshold for removal under the Hanford Municipal Code. HMC § 2.20.030 and the City’s attendance policy provide that Commission members:

“Serve at the pleasure of the City Council and may be removed for cause or no cause. Members may be removed by the City Council for cause for various reasons, including three consecutive absences or attendance at less than 30% of meetings held over a 12-month period, unless extenuating circumstances apply and are noted for the record.”

Alternate Commissioner Marez attended 41% of Planning Commission meetings in 2025 and has missed three consecutive meetings, which may constitute cause for removal by the City Council.

Commissioner Marez has indicated that changes in his work schedule have made it difficult for him to attend meetings. If removed, this would create a second vacancy.

3. Expiring Term
Commissioner Garry Curtis’s term expires on December 31, 2025. Commissioner Curtis is eligible for reappointment to a second term. Under HMC § 2.20.040, the Mayor may reappoint a commissioner to a new term in January, subject to Council approval. The Mayor, with approval of Council, may

reappoint Commissioner Curtis or direct staff to advertise the position and solicit applications.

HMC § 2.20.030 establishes the following requirements for commission appointments:
• Members are appointed by the Mayor with approval of the City Council • Appointments to fill expiring terms may occur at the first Council meeting in January • Vacancies due to resignation or other cause must be filled at the earliest possible date • All vacancies must be advertised so that any interested resident may apply • City residency is required

In preparation for January appointments, staff seeks Council direction on the following:

1. Number of Vacancies to Advertise
• Advertise one vacancy (Douglas only),
• Advertise two vacancies (Douglas + Marez (Alternate)), or • Advertise three vacancies (Douglas + Marez (Alternate) + Curtis term expiration).

2. Selection Process
• Council may conduct applicant interviews at a Special Meeting, during which the Council may evaluate all qualified applicants and make final appointments at a subsequent Regular Meeting, consistent with standard Council procedures
• Whether the commissioner eligible for reappointment must submit an application and/or participate in the interview process

Staff will implement Council direction and prepare the January appointment process accordingly.
