Discussion on AB 1572 Functional and Nonfunctional Turf State of California imposed requirements

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation:

That City Council receive this overview of Assembly Bill 1572 and provide feedback to staff.

Recommended Motion:

No formal action is required.

Council is requested to provide feedback to staff; staff will bring back revisions to the municipal code that meet Assembly Bill 1572 requirements, an inventory of City-owned landscapes affected by the proposed changes, and an outline for public outreach and education.

BACKGROUND:

Assembly Bill 1572 was enacted by the State of California to reduce potable water use by prohibiting the irrigation of nonfunctional turf on specified properties. The legislation requires public water systems to adopt or revise local regulations by January 1, 2027.

The City of Hanford owns and operates a public water system and is therefore required to implement the provisions of AB 1572.

The proposed ordinance revisions will include the following:
o Defines functional and nonfunctional turf.
o Prohibits irrigation of nonfunctional turf with potable water. o Establishes compliance timelines consistent with state law. o Authorizes enforcement by the Utilities Director or designee. o Provides administration procedures and penalties.

Staff has begun identifying City-owned landscaped areas and classifying turf locations according to state requirements.

ACTION ITEMS

SUBJECT:

Review of Results from National Business Survey (NBS) and National Community Survey (NCS)

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation:Receive a presentation about results of the 2026 National Business Survey and National Community Survey
BACKGROUND:

About the National Community Survey (NCS)

The National Community Survey report is about the livability of Hanford. A livable community is a place that is not simply habitable, but that is desirable. It is not only where people live, but where they want to live. The survey was developed by experts from the National Research Center at Polco. The last survey was done in 2024, it is recommended that the city conduct this type of survey every 2-3 years to be able to gauge some of the main priorities of the community and track perceived progress.

This poll is not a statistically valid survey, but it does, at a minimum, provide an informal gauge for the city to identify areas of importance and improvement. This survey provides the community a way to formally provide feedback on areas of importance in the city they work and reside in.

About the National Business Survey (NBS)

Page 9 of 707 ends

The National Business Survey gives local businesses the opportunity to provide feedback about the community characteristics and local government services that help support the local economy. It was developed by the survey experts from the National Research Center at Polco. With this report, the City of Hanford gains an important perspective from its businesses across six core indicators of the business environment in the community: Community amenities, Business climate, Employment opportunities and workforce support, Workforce readiness, Business growth and Governance.

Similar to the NCS, this poll is not a statistically valid survey, but it does, at a minimum, provide an informal gauge for the city to identify areas of importance and improvement. This survey provides the business community a way to formally provide feedback on areas of importance in the city they work in.

Methods
Analyzing the Data
The survey datasets were analyzed using all or some of a combination of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), R, Python, and Tableau. For the most part, the percentages presented in the reports represent the “percent positive.” The percent positive is the combination of the top two most positive response options (i.e., excellent/good, very safe/somewhat safe, essential/very important, etc.), or, in the case of resident behaviors/participation, the percent positive represents the proportion of respondents indicating “yes” or participating in an activity at least once a month.

On many of the questions in the survey respondents may answer “don’t know.” However, these responses have been removed from the analyses presented in the reports. In other words, the tables and graphs display the responses from respondents who had an opinion about a specific item.

Weighting of Results
The demographics of the survey respondents were compared to those found in the 2020 Census and 2024 American Community Survey estimates for adults in Hanford. The primary objective of weighting survey data is to make the survey respondents reflective of the larger population of the community. The characteristics used for weighting are based on the battery of demographic questions at the end of the survey. No adjustments were made for design effects.

NRC aligns demographic labels with those used by the U.S. Census for reporting purposes, when possible. Some categories (e.g., age, race/Hispanic origin, housing type, and length of residency) are combined into smaller subgroups.

Study Limitations
All public opinion research is subject to unmeasured error. While the methodologies employed for this survey were designed to minimize this error as much as possible, these other sources of potential error should be acknowledged, and can include non-response error, coverage error, recall bias, and social desirability bias.

Non-response error
arises when those who were selected to participate in the survey did not do so, and may have different opinions or experiences that survey responders. For general resident surveys, where the results are meant to be generalized to the entire adult population living in households, the mailing lists based on the Delivery Sequence File from the United States Post Office may exclude certain types of housing units, such as those in multi-family buildings where mail is addressed to a named resident at the address rather than to a specific unit or where residents only receive their mail at a post office box and the geographic location of a residence cannot be determined, there may be a
coverage error
, although for most locations, this is minimal. Respondents may not perfectly remember their experiences in the past year (such as participation in social or civic events, for example), and for some survey items, they may answer in ways they think cast their responses in a more favorable light (
recall bias
and
social desirability bias
).

About The NBS™
The National Business Survey™ (The NBS) gives local businesses the opportunity to provide feedback about the community characteristics and local government services that help support the local economy. It was developed by the survey experts from National Research Center (NRC) at Polco.

Great communities are partnerships of the government, businesses in the private sector, community-based organizations, and residents, all geographically connected. With this report, the City of Hanford gains an important perspective from its businesses across six core indicators of the business environment in the community:
• Community amenities
• Business climate
• Employment opportunities and workforce support
• Workforce readiness
• Business growth
• Governance
This report provides the opinions of 103 business owners and managers of the City of Hanford.

Because the survey was intended to be taken by all
businesses in the community, no traditional margin of error was calculated.

However, because not all businesses responded, NRC recommends using plus or minus ten percentage points as the “range of uncertainty” around any given percent reported for the City as a whole.

How the results are reported
For the most part, the percentages presented in the following tabs represent the “percent positive.” Most commonly, the percent positive is the combination of the top two most positive response options (i.e., excellent/good and very safe/somewhat safe, etc.). On many of the questions in the survey respondents may answer “don’t know.” The proportion of respondents giving this reply is shown in the full set of responses included in the tab “Complete data.” However, these responses have been removed from the analyses presented in most of the tabs. In other words, the tables and graphs display the responses from respondents who had an opinion about a speciﬁc item.

Comparisons to benchmarks
NRC’s database of comparative business opinion is comprised of business perspectives gathered in surveys from communities whose business owners and/or managers evaluated the same kinds of topics on The National Business Survey. NRC adds the latest results quickly upon survey completion, keeping the benchmark data fresh and relevant. Comparisons are made to the entire database. Ratings are compared when there are at least ﬁve communities in which a similar question was asked. In each tab, Hanford's results are noted as being "higher" than the benchmark, "lower" than the benchmark, or "similar" to the benchmark, meaning that the average rating given by Hanford business owners and managers is statistically similar to or diﬀerent (greater or lesser) than the benchmark. Being rated as "higher" or "lower" than the benchmark means that Hanford's average rating for a particular item was more than ﬁve points diﬀerent than the benchmark.

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 7/21/2026 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Authorize a response to Grand Jury Report Regarding Police Department female Hires and Advancement.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council approve, by motion: (i) the attached response to the 2025-2026 Kings County Grand Jury Report regarding the Police Department’s hiring and advancement of females; and (ii) the Mayor’s signature of a transmittal letter under which the response will be sent to the Presiding Judge of the Kings County Superior Court.

Recommended Motion: I move to approve the response to the Grand Jury Report regarding the Police Department’s hiring and advancement of females and that the cover letter be signed by the Mayor.

BACKGROUND:

The 2025-2026 Kings County Grand Jury issued the attached report regarding the Police Department’s hiring and advancement of females.

The California Penal Code establishes requirements for the City’s response to a Grand Jury Report, and the City Attorneys’ Office worked with City staff to prepare a response that covers those requirements.

Highlights of the Response:

• The City concurs with the Grand Jury’s finding that law enforcement is a traditionally male- dominated role and that, historically, women employed in law enforcement have faced challenges.

• The City concurs with the Grand Jury’s findings with respect to: (i) women law enforcement officers playing a crucial role in building community trust, deescalating conflict, use of force, and ensuring good outcomes for crime victims; and (ii) some community members may view female officers as more honest and compassionate than their male counterparts.

• The City will continue to recruit qualified female police cadets and officers. The hiring process utilized by the Police Department, which emphasizes qualifications, experience, and merit, will remain in compliance with federal and state employment laws.

• Chief Stephanie Huddleston was promoted to her current position due to merit and qualifications.

Page 35 of 707 ends

• Adherence to state and federal laws regarding employment advancement, which includes promotions based upon qualifications, experience, and merit, will remain a priority for the City.

The California Penal Code requires the City Council to respond to all Grand Jury reports involving City matters. As a result, the City’s response will be sent to the Presiding Judge of the Kings County Superior Court under a cover letter signed by the Mayor.

The Grand Jury also requests that Chief Huddleston and City Manager Tavarez respond to the Grand Jury’s report. Accordingly, the cover letter says that the attached response also represents the responses of Chief Huddleston and the City Manager.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

1 CITY OF HANFORD’S RESPONSE TO GRAND JURY REPORT 2025-2026

BROKEN BARRIERS BUILDING COMMUNITIES AND INSPIRING OTHERS KINGS COUNTIES’ THREE FEMALE POLICE CHIEFS

* * * * *

The following is the respo nse of the Hanford City Council and Hanford’s Police Chief (collectively “the City”) to the Grand Jury Report (“the Report”) for the 2025-2026 session entitled “Broken Barriers, Building Communities and Inspiring Others – Kings Counties (sic) Three Female Police Chiefs.”

Grand Jury Finding 1:

“Law enforcement is traditionally a male dominated role where currently females represent less than 10% of police chiefs, 14% of sworn officers and 20% of recruits in state and local law enforcement agencies. Women often face challenges such as persistent g ender biases from co - workers and citizens alike, workplace culture, and lack of family -friendly policies which hinder the retention and advancement of women into leadership roles.”

City’s Response to Finding 1:

The City concurs that law enforce ment is a traditionally male -dominated role and that, historically, women employed in the law enforcement arena have faced challenges.

Grand Jury Finding 2:

“Women officers play a crucial role in building community trust, deescalating conflict, use less force, ensure better outcomes for crime victims especially in sexual assault cases, and are seen by communities as being more honest and compassionate than their male counter parts (sic).”

City’s Response to Finding 2:

The City concurs with Finding 2 with respect to women officers playing a crucial role in building community trust, deescalating conflict, use of force, and ensuring good outcomes for crime victims. The City further concurs that some community members may view female officers as more honest and compassionate than their male counterparts.

Grand Jury Recommendations 1 and 2:

“The efforts made by the cities in Kings County to recruit qualified female cadets and officers should continue. All hiring should be based on qualifications, experience, and merit only.”

1 Broken Barriers, Building Communities and Inspiring Others Kings Counties Three Female Police Chiefs
April 24, 2026

Summary

Lemoore has the distinction of having the first female Police Chief in Kings County. Currently Kings County is represented by two female police chiefs, one in Hanford and one in Corcoran.

Both have broken down age-old barriers such as gender biases, family and workplace culture, discrimination and other significant barriers to promotion. Through a steadfast determination to serve their communities both police chiefs are now leading the way and inspiring the next generation.

Background

Police work has always been seen as a male profession. The first female officers were unsworn and received less pay than their male counterparts while performing the same duties.

While women make up approximately 50 percent of the population in the United States of America in 2023, women only represented between 12 to 14 percent of all sworn police officers.

There is no master list of all female police chiefs in California. This is due to the fragmented nature of law enforcement agencies. There are hundreds of independent local police departments and sheriff’s offices, which makes coordination difficult, and the extreme underrepresentation of women in leadership positions limits advocacy for such a list.

Research by the National Policing Institute has suggested that women receive fewer complaints, draw their firearms less, and are less likely to use excessive force than their male counterparts.

Communities seem to believe that they are more honest and compassionate. Outcomes for crime victims, especially sex crimes victims, are better when female officers work those cases.

This in turn builds better relationships with communities.

Due to the forward thinking and open-minded City Councils and communities in our area, Kings County is unique in that it had the first female police chief and currently has two female police chiefs, one in Hanford and the other in Corcoran. These women have faced significant barriers to promotion such as, persistent gender biases, workplace culture, discrimination, and lack of family-friendly policies. Because of their determination, perseverance and love of community, they have succeeded.

3 Discussion (facts-tells the story):

The Past

On September 12, 1910, (116 years ago) Alice Stebbins Wells was appointed the nation’s first female to be designated a policewoman with arrest powers in Los Angeles California. https://www.lapdonline.org/women-in-the-lapd

In December of 1974 (52 years ago) the Police Foundation (now the Policing Institute) created a 110-page manual to guide agencies on how to recruit and train women.

Penny Harrington (1942–2021) became the first woman to lead a major U.S. city police department when she was sworn in as Chief of the Portland Police Bureau in Oregon on January 24, 1985 (41 years ago). She was a trailblazer who previously became the department's first female detective, sergeant, lieutenant, and captain.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_Harrington

Kim Morrell became the first female Police Chief in Kings County on July 1, 2000, when she was appointed Chief of Police in Lemoore. She was one of five women police chiefs in California at that time. She served ten years until her retirement in January of 2010. When she became an officer, she had to make do with men’s equipment including clothing and had to purchase a smaller caliber weapon (as her hand was smaller than a man’s).

In 2016 John Thomas chief of the University of Southern California (USC) Department of Public Safety said, “What our profession needs most at this time is the diversity the insight and the experiences that women bring to law enforcement. Women have enhanced our profession to a degree that we would not be where we are today if not for your contributions.”

At the USC Price conference that was held in March of 2017, seven of L.A. Counties female police chiefs shared personal insights of their careers.

Chief Gomez-Whiteley of Alhambra Police Department was asked in the 1980’s what her aspirations were. She said she grew up riding dirt bikes and wanted to be a motorcycle cop. She was told by her lieutenant in charge “he’s not going to have women riding motorcycles”.

Chief Irvine of Manhattan Beach was asked in the 80’s what her aspirations were. The deputy chief told her that “the day they have a female captain in their police department will be the day that pigs fly”. Twenty years later, after she was promoted to Captain, she now has a collection of flying pigs.

Deirdre Fike, assistant director of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office spoke of testifying at one of her first trials, a defense attorney slammed his hands on the podium and said, “What do you know about this case? You’re just a little girl.” “Women really do lead differently. We can break

Page 41 of 707 ends

4 down barriers, and we do thrive in this high-pressure, male-dominated environment. I learned women are most successful when they’re just themselves. I think we bring a unique set of skills to our work. I think females are inherently better listeners, that we are able to have direct, honest conversations, and I think we have an ability to multitask that quite frankly sometimes we don’t see in our male counterparts.” At one point Deirdre Fike was brought into an interrogation when a softer touch was required. The tough guy wasn’t breaking down under interrogation, so she was able to go in as a motherly figure and get a confession.

In 2023, the gender distribution of full-time law enforcement officers was heavily male dominated. Women sworn personnel (officers with policing powers) made up only 13.8% of full- time law enforcement officers while female civilian law enforcement employees (administration, support staff, etc.) made up 59.9% of all civilian law enforcement employees.

This is due to the historical trends, continued barriers to entry for women, and recruitment practices which show that the law enforcement profession and communities are still struggling with the issue of women in uniform.

Present

Currently there is no central master list of all female police chiefs/sheriffs in California. Out of the 58 counties and 483 cities in California, the Grand Jury was only able to find female chiefs in Fresno, Hanford, Contra Costa, Corcoran, Marin, Sacramento, San Bernardino, Solano, as well as San Diego and Los Angeles Counties (which have multiple female chiefs).

Women often face significant barriers to promotion (called the Brass Ceiling i.e. the invisible, unwritten, and often rigid barriers hindering women from rising to top leadership ("brass") positions in law enforcement) which in turn limits the pool of candidates for chief positions.

Persistent gender biases, workplace culture, and lack of family-friendly policies hinder the retention and advancement of women into leadership roles. Women are still passed over for promotion even though they have a higher degree of education and test better than their male counterparts.

Research by the National Policing Institute indicates that women officers:
• Use less force and less excessive force
• Are named in fewer complaints and lawsuits
• Are perceived by communities as being more honest and compassionate • See better outcomes for crime victims, especially in sexual assault cases • Make fewer discretionary arrests, especially of non-white residents

Women face unique challenges that impact their physical and mental wellbeing. Balancing work with family obligations and pregnancy add complexity especially when workplace policies lack support for leave and caregiving needs. Issues, such as sexual harassment and gender-based discrimination (e.g. a derogatory letter that was recently received from a community member), contribute to chronic stress, lower job satisfaction, and mental health struggles for women

Page 42 of 707 ends

5 officers. Women represent less than 10% of police chiefs, 14% of sworn officers and 20% of recruits in state and local law enforcement agencies. About 40% of the approximately 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the U.S. have no full-time women officers. (Source: Bureau of Justice Statistics)

Efforts are being taken to get more women in law enforcement by the following:
• Peace Officers Research Association of California (PORAC) • POST (commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training), • The California Police Chiefs Association (CPCA) which promotes “Women Leaders in Law Enforcement” (WLLE) to foster growth and leadership opportunities for women • The 30x30 initiative which aims to increase the percentage of female officers in police recruit classes to 30% by 2030.

The 30x30 initiative is a coalition of professional organizations and police leaders that are committed to supporting and advancing the well-being of women at all levels of law enforcement. https://30x30initiative.org

Following is a list of government codes that effect the employment of female officers:

State and Local Codes
 Gov. Code § 12940 (FEHA): The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) makes it illegal for employers, including police departments, to discriminate against job applicants and employees based on protected categories (race, sex, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, etc.).  Gov. Code § 11135: Prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, or sexual orientation in programs or activities conducted, funded, or administered by the state, including local law enforcement agencies.

Federal Codes
 34 U.S.C. § 12601 (Formerly 42 U.S.C. § 14141): Makes it unlawful for law enforcement agencies to engage in a pattern or practice of conduct that deprives persons of constitutional rights.
 42 U.S.C. § 2000d (Title VI): Prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs receiving federal financial assistance (applicable to most police departments).
 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA - Title II): Prohibits state and local law enforcement from discriminating based on disability in their services, programs, and activities

Key Protections for Officers
• Public Safety Officers Procedural Bill of Rights Act (Gov. Code §§ 3300-3312): Protects police officers from arbitrary discipline and ensures due process during investigations. • Labor Code § 1102.5: Protects officers from retaliation for whistleblowing or disclosing information about illegal acts within the department.

6 Kings County is a good example of forward thinking with regards to breaking down the discrimination against women in law enforcement. Kim Morrell became the first female Police Chief in Kings County on July 1, 2000, when she was appointed Chief of Police in Lemoore. On January 22, 2024, Stephanie Huddleston became the first woman to serve as Hanford Police Chief. Shortly after, on February 13, 2024, Margarita Ochoa was appointed as Corcoran’s first female Police Chief. All three appointments marked historic milestones for female representation in our local law enforcement agencies.

Kim Morrell, Kings County’s first female Police Chief, served in law enforcement in Lemoore from 1981 to 2010 (29 years). She received a bachelor’s degree in criminology with a double option in Law Enforcement and Probation from Fresno State University. She began her career with the probation department working in the Fresno County Jail. In 1981 she began with Lemoore Police Department as an officer on patrol. She was promoted as follows:

• Became a Seargent/Patrol Sergeant in 1985
• Detective Sergeant 1990
• Commander in 1995
• Police Chief in 2000

She retired in 2010.

Stephanie Huddleston, Hanford’s first female police chief, has been in law enforcement since 1998 (28 years). She has earned an A.A. Degree in Liberal Studies, a Bachelor of Science in Criminology-Law Enforcement Victim Services Certificate and a master’s degree in criminology.

Her extensive background includes many commendations, including six Peace Officers Standards Training (POST) Certificates and she has taken more than 37 specialized training courses.

Significant dates:

• Received her B.S. in 1998
• Received her M.S. in 2001
• Graduated POST 1/26/2006 Class 108 where she was #1 in overall achievement, report writing and outstanding practical performance
• Patrol Officer 2006 with Hanford Police Department
• Became an instructor/senior evaluator at the COS Police Academy 2009 • Temporary Senior Officer Appointment
• Senior Officer 10/03/2011
• First female Sergeant 6/23/2014
• Lieutenant 2/12/2020
• Captain 3/20/2023
• Chief of Police 1/22/2024 (This appointment marked a milestone, not only for herself personally but for our community)

Page 44 of 707 ends

7 Margarita Ochoa, Corcoran’s first female police chief, has been in law enforcement since 1998 (28 years). She has earned a Bachelor of Science Administration in Criminal Justice Management and a Master of Business Administration with an emphasis in Organization Leadership. Her extensive background includes many commendations, including five Peace Officers Standards Training (POST) Certificates and she has taken more than 7 specialized training courses.

Significant dates:

• Reserve Officer Training Module B December 1993
• Reserve Officer Training Module C May 1994
• Graduated Kings/Tulare POST May 1997 Class 84
• Patrol Officer 1998 with Lemoore PD
• Youth Development Officer 1999 Lemoore PD
• Juvenile Detective 2001-2002 Lemoore PD
• Patrol Corporal 2002-2012 Lemoore PD
• Field Training Officer 2002-2015 Lemoore PD
• Detective Investigations 2003-2007 Lemoore PD
• Adjunct Instructor 2010-Present College of the Sequoias • Sergeant 2012-2015 Lemoore PD
• POST Supervisory Certificate June 2014
• Received her Bachelor of Science in August 2014
• Captain 2015-2024 Lemoore PD
• POST Management school and Executive Development 2017 • Received her M.S. October 2017 Business Administration-Organizational Leadership • POST Management Certificate February 2018
• Chief of Police February 13, 2024, Corcoran (This appointment marked a milestone, not only for herself personally but for our community)

Not only did she have to overcome the bias associated with being female in a male dominated profession, but she also had to deal with the challenge of overcoming discrimination due to her Latino heritage. Now she has to decide how to provide jobs to the large number of officers- mainly men-who want to transfer from their current positions to work for her. (Some have even taken demotions to do so.)

Findings/Recommendations

F1. Law enforcement is traditionally a male dominated role where currently females represent less than 10% of police chiefs, 14% of sworn officers and 20% of recruits in state and local law enforcement agencies. Women often face challenges such as persistent gender biases from co- workers and citizens alike, workplace culture, and lack of family-friendly policies which hinder the retention and advancement of women into leadership roles.

Page 45 of 707 ends

8 F2. Women officers play a crucial role in building community trust, deescalating conflict, use less force, ensure better outcomes for crime victims especially in sexual assault cases, and are seen by communities as being more honest and compassionate than their male counter parts.

R1/2. The efforts made by the cities in Kings County to recruit qualified female cadets and officers should continue. All hiring should be based on qualifications, experience and merit only.

F3. Due to Kings County having a forward-thinking attitude, Lemoore, Hanford and Corcoran have promoted women into the position of Chief of Police due to merit and qualifications.

R3. Kings County and its efforts to promote females in traditionally male dominated fields are to be commended and should continue to be made a priority.

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 7/21/2026 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Authorize response to Grand Jury Report Regarding Marquee Sign.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council approve, by motion: (i) the attached response to the 2025-2026 Kings County Grand Jury Report regarding the City’s construction of a marquee sign suggested by the Grand Jury; and (ii) the Mayor’s signature of a transmittal letter under which the response will be sent to the Presiding Judge of the Kings County Superior Court.

Recommended Motion: I move to approve the response to the Grand Jury Report regarding the Grand Jury’s recommendation that the City construct a marquee sign and that the cover letter be signed by the Mayor.

BACKGROUND:

The 2025-2026 Kings County Grand Jury issued the attached report, under which it recommended that the City construct a marquee sign.

Highlights of the Response:

• The recommended marquee sign will not be constructed in Civic Park because the Municipal Code prohibits such a sign in the MX-D zone district, the district in which the park is located.

• The City will not construct a marquee sign at any of its parks, fire stations, water well sites, storm drain basins, corporation yard, wastewater treatment facility, or the Hanford Municipal Airport because those properties are zoned Public Facilities (PF), and the electronic sign suggested by the Grand Jury is prohibited in the PF zone district.

• The messaging effectiveness of non-electronic signs is significantly lower in comparison to the electronic sign recommended by the Grand Jury because the former must be manually changed, which will result in less frequent updates due to time constraints faced by City personnel.

• The City efficiently utilizes its limited resources to widely share information by means regularly used by a broad segment of the population, including the City’s senior residents. The City will

Page 50 of 707 ends

continue such efforts and will consider other feasible and cost-effective opportunities as they become available in the future.

The Grand Jury also required the City Manager to respond to the Grand Jury’s report. Accordingly, the cover letter says that the attached response also represents the City Manager’s response.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

1 CITY OF HANFORD’S RESPONSE TO GRAND JURY REPORT 2025-2026

Improved Communication in Hanford
A Marquee for Events and Announcements

* * * * *

The following is the response of the Hanford City Council (collectively “the City”) to the Grand Jury Report for the 20 25-2026 session (“the Report”) entitled “Improved Communication in Hanford – A Marquee for Events and Announcements.”

Grand Jury Finding 1:

“A centralized marquee in Hanford, the county seat, would provide timely information such as city council, meeting dates, emergency alerts, and community event reminders, foster greater participation and ensure residents are well -informed about city initiatives and urgent situations.”

City’s Response to Finding 1:

The City utilizes its limited resources in the most cost-efficient manner to share information with the largest number of people, and a freestanding electronic sign would minimally supplement the City’s already broad efforts to disseminate information to the public.

Recommendation 1:

“Hanford City staff, under the direction of Hanford City Manager, should install a marquee as tall as allowed following appropriate city ordinances, in Civic Park or in an appropriate location.

The design and permitting should be done by October 1, 2026.”

City’s Response to Recommendation 1:

The City will not install a freestanding sign at Civic Park.

Hanford Municipal Code Section 17.56.090 prohibits freestanding signs in the MX-D zone district. Civic Park is located in the MX-D zone district, and, as a result, the City may not install the form of sign suggested in the Grand Jury’s Report. Additionally, the City’s police station and administrative offices are located within the MX-D zone district, and, therefore, free standing signs are also prohibited at those properties.

The City’s parks, fire stations, water well sites, storm drain basins, 10th Avenue corporation yard, Houston Avenue wastewater treatment facility, and Hanford Municipal Airport are located in Public Facilities (PF) zone districts. Free standing signs are allowed in PF zone district s, but they are subject to limitations established by the Hanford Municipal Code. For example, free standing signs in PF zone districts are limited to a maximum of twenty (20) square feet, a maximum height of six feet (6’), and may only be externally illuminated. In other words, electronic signs are prohibited in PF zone districts as they are not externally illuminated.

Page 52 of 707 ends

2 The messaging effectiveness of non -electronic signs is significantly lower in comparison to electronic signs as the text displayed on the former must be manually changed, which will result in less frequent updates due to time constraints faced by City personnel resulting from other employment responsibilities. The City , therefore, does not intend to install non -electronic messaging signs at any of its PF-zoned properties because construction costs and the burden associated with the manual update of sign messaging outweigh the marginal increase in additional community members reached.

The City efficiently uses its limited resources to widely share information by means regularly utilized by a broad segment of the population, including the City’s senior residents. Since the sharing of information with the public is a critical priority of the City, t he City will continue such efforts and will consider other feasible and cost -effective opportunities as they become available in the future.

1 Improved Communication in Hanford
A Marquee for Events and Announcements
March 21, 2026

Summary

Residents of the City of Hanford (“Hanford”) and citizens/visitors of Kings County would benefit from a marquee in Hanford that displays special events and community alerts. The marquee would improve communication about local happenings and enhance public safety by quickly publicizing important information.

Background

Hanford’s median age is 32.5 years, suggesting that many residents are comfortable with technology. However, there are still individuals who may not use digital platforms regularly.

These individuals may not have the desire, knowledge or time to look up events online.

Hanford is currently the only incorporated city in Kings County that does not have a city marquee for public information dissemination, which means residents may miss timely updates on community events and emergency alerts that other cities receive.

Many schools in Kings County have marquees on school grounds that are easily seen by students and parents alike. These marquees are used to keep parents and students up to date with important school information such as schedule changes, upcoming exams, holiday reminders, as well as special events like sporting events, student birthdays and school social gatherings.

Citizens and visitors would benefit from having a large marquee in a frequently visited location in Hanford such as in Civic Park. This marquee should be easily visible for drivers to see as they drive by and could display important community announcements, such as:

• Schedules for Thursday night markets
• City council meetings, board and commission meetings
• Emergency alerts like severe weather warnings
• Promotions for upcoming events
• Enhance communication during social gatherings

By providing timely information and reminders, the marquee could foster greater participation in local events and ensure residents are well-informed about city initiatives and emergencies.

• 80+ 3%

The median age is 32.5 years (as of 2024-2025) and is approximately 48.5% female.

The City of Hanford promotes upcoming events primarily through digital platforms such as email, telephone, and social media (Facebook, Twitter [X], Instagram). The “My Hanford” app is dedicated to service requests, while the official City website serves as a central hub for both general information and public alerts. The city also uses “Hanford 311” for public reporting and the Police Citizen RIMS for crime data.

A needed tool would be a large marquee that would promote and remind citizens of upcoming events. Marquees can show pictures, text, videos, etc. A typical digital school marquee costs between $10,000 and $80,000+ for standard, double-sided, outdoor rated LED installations. The

3 average ranges between $20,000 to $70,000. The total cost is usually higher depending on factors such as size, pixel pitch (resolution), structural or masonry work, permitting, software, and electrical requirements.

Hanford is currently the only incorporated city in Kings County that does not have a marquee for public information dissemination. Other incorporated cities in Kings County have marquees already.

Avenal has a marquee located at the entrance to town and at each of their schools. Corcoran has a marquee at the RAC, and Lemoore currently has a marquee at City Hall.

4 An example of a non-city sign is Hanford West High School’s large marquee, which displays school announcements and events rather than city announcements.

Because of its size it had to go out for bids and be approved by California's Division of the State Architect (DSA).
http://www.dgs.ca.gov/dsa/forms
(The DSA requires that all school and essential services construction projects be fully designed by a licensed
architect or engineer, submitted for review, and approved for structural, fire/life safety, and accessibility compliance before work begins. Key requirements include using
approved testing labs, specialized inspectors, and
submitting verified reports.) In 2023, $80,000 was the cost for Hanford West digital sign and the cost for permitting, structural work and electrical requirements was an
additional $15,000 to $20,000. All Hanford Joint Union High School sites have an appropriately sized marquee. Lakeside Elementary Schools sign cost was $92,000 to $95,000 which included design, permitting, labor, electrical etc.

There are grant opportunities available for city marquee signs which focus on downtown revitalization, community development or historic preservation. Funding sources include:

• Historic Preservation: The William G. Pomeroy Foundation offers grants for signage • Downtown Revitalization: Loc al Commercial Signage grants often fund design and installation for signs in designated business or Tax Increment Financing districts. “This is where a local government can in a designated geographic area freeze the baseline property tax revenue for schools and city services, using all future increases in tax revenue to fund redevelopment, infrastructure, and improvements within that same area.”
• Community Impact: Main Street America with other partners offer grants for projects that improve public spaces.

While most grants are available to local government agencies, matching funds may be required and the application process may require there to be detailed plans, budgets and in some cases, approval from local managers.

Findings/Recommendations

F1. A centralized marquee in Hanford, the county seat, would provide timely information such as city council, meeting dates, emergency alerts, and community event reminders, foster

Page 57 of 707 ends

5 greater participation and ensure residents are well-informed about city initiatives and urgent situations.

R1. Hanford City staff, under the direction of Hanford City Manager, should install a marquee as tall as allowed following appropriate city ordinances, in Civic Park or in an appropriate location.

The design and permitting should be done by October 1, 2026.

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 7/21/2026 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Approval of the City of Hanford Salary Schedules.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation:

That the City Council, by motion, approve the attached salary schedules to restate full-time and part- time employee rates and update the salary range for the position of Information Technology Manager.

Recommended Motion:

By motion, approve the attached salary schedule and authorize administration to amend all other documents as may be necessary to implement the updates.

BACKGROUND:

Pursuant to the California Code of Regulations (CCR) 570.5, the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) requires that a publicly available pay schedule be used to determine pay rates. Additionally, pay rates shall be limited to the amount listed on a pay schedule and must meet all of the following eight requirements:

1. Be duly approved and adopted by the employer's governing body in accordance with requirements of applicable public meetings laws

2. Identify the position title for every employee position

3. Show the pay rate as a single amount or multiple amounts within a range for each identified position

4. Indicate the time base, including, but not limited to, whether the time base is hourly, daily, bi- weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, or annually

5. Be posted at the office of the employer or immediately accessible and available for public review from the employer during normal business hours or posted on the employer's website

6. Indicate an effective date and date of any revisions

7. Is retained by the employer and available for public inspection for not less than five years

8. Does not reference another document in lieu of disclosing the pay rate

Page 61 of 707 ends

Staff intends to continue to obtain City Council approval on a frequent basis to satisfy the requirements set forth by the California Code of Regulations (CCR) 570.5.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no significant fiscal impact (less than $10,000/year). Following the recent retirement of the City’s Information Technology Manager, a comprehensive review of the position’s job description was conducted. As a result of the additional responsibilities incorporated into the job description, along with a salary comparison of similar positions in surrounding agencies and an evaluation of the City’s internal management compensation structure, a six percent salary increase was included to stay competitive and attract candidates. No other changes have been made to the attached salary schedule since its adoption in early June 2026.

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 7/21/2026 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Authorize the Mayor to sign a League of California Cities or California Association of Joint Powers Authorities letter in support of tort reform to preserve taxpayer funds on behalf of the City of Hanford.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: Authorize the Mayor to sign a joint CAJPA Coalition letter in support of tort reform efforts.

Recommended Motion: I move to authorize the Mayor to sign CAJPA's joint letter of support of tort liability limits.

BACKGROUND:

A coalition of statewide public agencies, local government, and education organizations is urging the California State Legislature to enact comprehensive tort reform for civil actions against public entities.

The coalition includes the League of California Cities, California Association of Joint Powers Authorities, Rural County Representatives of California, California School Boards Association, California Association of School Business Officials, Los Angeles Unified School District, and other public-sector partners.

According to the coalition, public-entity liability costs in California have increased dramatically in recent years, with known exposure now exceeding $7 billion and costs projected to continue rising significantly. These increasing costs affect cities, counties, school districts, special districts, and other public agencies that rely on taxpayer dollars to provide essential services. For cities such as Hanford, escalating liability exposure can place additional pressure on the same general fund resources that support public safety, infrastructure maintenance, road repairs, homelessness response, parks, community programs, and other core municipal services. The City of Hanford is not immune from these rising costs. Increases in both the frequency and amounts sought, litigation, and a significant verdict costing the City of Hanford over $17.5 million to its liability coverage have negatively impacted our budget moving forward. The cost of participation in the general liability pool has seen an excess of 100% percent increase for this upcoming fiscal year.

The City of Hanford does not obtain liability coverage through traditional commercial insurance markets because coverage may be unavailable, insufficient, or cost-prohibitive. Instead, we self- insure and participate in Public Risk Innovation Solutions Management (PRISM) risk pools. When large claims or settlements occur, the financial impact is shared across member agencies through increased premiums, special assessments, and reduced coverage limits. As a result, even agencies with limited or no direct involvement in certain claims may experience higher costs that reduce the

Page 74 of 707 ends

resources available for local services.

The coalition emphasizes that public agencies are not seeking to avoid accountability or deny compensation to individuals who have been harmed. Rather, the proposed reforms are intended to restore balance to the current system by ensuring that survivors and injured parties receive meaningful compensation while preserving the fiscal ability of public agencies to deliver essential services. The coalition’s proposed reforms include defined benefits and reasonable caps on damages in civil actions against public entities, proportional liability so taxpayers pay only for the share of harm attributable to the public agency, and heightened evidentiary and procedural standards for claims involving decades-old conduct where records, witnesses, or evidence may no longer be available.

Support for these efforts is consistent with the City of Hanford’s interest in protecting taxpayer resources, maintaining long-term fiscal stability, and preserving the City’s ability to provide essential public services. Rising liability costs have the potential to divert limited public funds away from services and infrastructure that directly benefit Hanford residents. By supporting comprehensive and balanced tort reform, the City can join other local government and public agency partners in advocating for a legal framework that maintains accountability, supports survivors, and protects the public resources necessary to serve the community.

1. FINAL Coalition Support for Public Agency Tort Reform

pg 1
Date: May 20, 2026 To: Members, California State Legislature From: Association of California School Administrators; California Association of School Business Officials; California Association of Joint Powers Authorities; California Latino School Boards Association; California School Boards Association; League of California Cities; League of United Latin American Citizens; Los Angeles Unified School District; Rural County Representatives of California; Schools Excess Liability Fund Re: Urgent Need for Comprehensive Tort Reform to Protect California Taxpayers, Survivors, and Essential Public Services On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we urge the Legislature to enact meaningful tort reform for civil actions against public entities. New data released by the California Association of Joint Powers Authorities (CAJPA) confirms what our members have been warning lawmakers about for years: public-entity liability costs have tripled in the last seven years, now exceeding $7 billion in known exposure. Costs are on pace to grow another 70 percent by 2027–28. The fiscal trajectory is unsustainable, the structure of liability is fundamentally unfair to taxpayers, and the consequences are now measured in billions of dollars diverted away from classrooms, fire stations, roads, mental health services, and the essential programs Californians depend on every day. Our organizations share a deep and unwavering commitment to ensuring that survivors of harm receive justice, support, and meaningful compensation. California’s public agencies are not asking for insulation from accountability. We do not seek to deny survivors their day in court. Instead, we seek to fix a system that, as currently structured, transfers enormous wealth to plaintiffs’ law firms and threatens the financial solvency of the very public agencies tasked with protecting and serving our vulnerable community members. The longer the Legislature waits, the more public services will be cut, the more agencies will face insolvency. The Path Forward. We urge the Legislature to advance a comprehensive tort reform package for civil actions against public entities that, at minimum, includes the following: • Defined benefits including caps on damages in civil actions against public entities, ensuring survivors and other injured parties are made whole while preserving the capacity to deliver essential public services. • Proportional (several) liability for economic damages in civil actions against public entities, so that taxpayers pay only for the share of harm actually attributable to the public agency. This way the perpetrators bear the cost of their own conduct and not taxpayers. • Heightened evidentiary and procedural standards for claims where witnesses, records, and evidence archives are absent or insufficient to assign culpability.

Page 76 of 707 ends

pg 2
Why are Billions of Taxpayer Dollars Being Diverted from Essential Services? AB 218 (Gonzalez, Chapter 861, Statutes of 2019) related to childhood sexual assault is one stark driver, but it is not the only one. Across the spectrum of civil litigation against public entities — from premises liability to dangerous conditions — plaintiffs’ firms are increasingly targeting governmental defendants precisely because they are perceived as having the deepest pockets. The result is an unreasonable transfer of public resources to private wealth that the Legislature has both the power and the responsibility to address. How Are Claims Against Public Entities Funded? Most cities, counties, special districts, and school districts in California do not purchase liability coverage from traditional commercial insurance carriers because it is either too expensive, does not provide sufficient coverage, or is simply not offered. Instead, they self-fund their liability coverage or they collectively pool risk through Joint Powers Authorities (JPAs), which are not insurance companies with large capital reserves. Every self-funded claim, including those paid out of a JPA, comes from taxpayer-funded member contributions paid by cities, counties, schools, and other public agencies from the same general fund dollars that pay for police officers, firefighters, teachers, road crews, and homelessness response. When a JPA pays out claims of magnitude, every member agency in that pool feels it through higher premiums, the potential need for special assessments, reduced coverage limits, and/or increasingly, the inability to obtain coverage at all. Public agencies that have never had a single AB 218 claim filed against them are facing double-digit premium increases. For schools, this means Proposition 98 education dollars intended to support today’s students are paying for decades-old liabilities. Even for cities and counties that have few claims filed against them it means delaying critical infrastructure maintenance and reducing local government’s ability to provide social-safety-net services to the most vulnerable Californians. Plaintiffs’ Attorneys Are on Track to Profit Over Half a Billion Taxpayer Dollars Every Year. In civil actions against public entities, plaintiffs’ counsel commonly recover contingency fees of 40 percent or more of the gross judgment or settlement. Even using a conservative 30 percent contingency assumption, estimated plaintiff attorney fees in actions against California public entities have climbed to over $500 million annually. In many individual cases, attorney fees approach 50 percent of the taxpayer-funded settlement or award. That means that for every $10 million paid by a city, county, JPA, or school district, as much as $4 to $5 million is paid to a private law firm. It does not go to the survivor, nor does it go to mental health services, prevention or victim assistance, or back to the taxpayers who funded the payment. Plaintiffs’ firms are, in many cases, the single largest beneficiaries of the current system. Caps on Damages Are Essential to Preserve Public Services and Solvency. Support for meaningful tort reform must include caps on damages in actions against public entities. Without such caps, the cascading effects of recent legislation will only worsen, and the very real threat of insolvency among California’s public agencies, already materializing in some regions, will only accelerate. California already imposes reasonable limits in medical malpractice cases under MICRA, recognizing the public interest in such restrictions. The same principle should apply when taxpayer dollars are the source of the payment. Public Entities Should Pay in Proportion to Their Actual Fault — Not for the Crimes of Others. Under California’s current liability structure, a public entity found just one percent at fault can be ordered to pay the entirety of a plaintiff’s economic damages — even when the overwhelming majority of fault lies with a criminal actor who has no assets to satisfy a judgment. The result is morally indefensible: perpetrators escape financial accountability for their conduct, while taxpayers — through their cities, counties, transit agencies, and school districts — are forced to pay for

Page 77 of 707 ends

pg 3
the harm that resulted. It allows perpetrators to walk away while public services are gutted to satisfy awards for conduct the public entity did not commit. The Legislature must restore proportional (several) liability for economic damages in actions against public entities, so that they are responsible only for the share of harm attributable to the public agency’s own conduct. Survivors Deserve Their Day in Court, and Public Entities Deserve a Meaningful Opportunity to Defend. Restoring balance to AB 218 claims involving decades-old conduct does not require closing the courthouse door to survivors. Rather, it requires recognizing that, after decades have passed, the records and witnesses needed to fairly adjudicate a claim are often incomplete or simply gone. For claims involving conduct that occurred decades ago, we urge the Legislature to restore balance by reinstating a prior-knowledge requirement, paired with a clear-and-convincing-evidence standard. Prior to AB 218, California law permitted survivors to bring claims against public entities outside the statute of limitations, when a plaintiff could show the entity "knew or had reason to know, or was otherwise on notice, of any unlawful sexual conduct" by the perpetrator and failed to implement reasonable safeguards. That framework provided a meaningful path to justice for survivors with evidence of institutional culpability while also protecting taxpayers from liability for conduct the public entity had no realistic means to anticipate, prevent, or now defend against. Our coalition stands ready to work with the Legislature, the Administration, and the survivor community to craft a balanced, durable solution so that necessary action can be taken now. Detailed findings and supporting data are available in CAJPA’s recent report, Protecting Public Funds: The Rising Cost of Claims Against California Public Entities. Please do not hesitate to contact us with questions or to discuss specific legislative vehicles.

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 7/21/2026 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Authorization to appropriate $130,813 from Wastewater Funds (0362) to fund Change Order #1 for Opterra Energy Services to complete Southern California Edison (SCE) required work associated with the Wastewater Treatment Facility's Solar Project.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council authorize the appropriation of $130,813 from Wastewater Funds (0362) to fund Change Order #1 for Opterra Energy Services to complete SCE required work associated with the Wastewater Treatment Facility's (WTTF) Solar Project

Recommended Motion:

I motion to authorize the appropriation of $130,813 from Wastewater Funds (0362) to fund Change Order #1 for Opterra Energy Services to complete SCE required work associated with the Wastewater Treatment Facility's Solar Project
BACKGROUND:

This change order is due to added infrastructure required by SCE to establish connectivity to the WTTF's solar array via telemetry communications. The added work was added to the solar contract well after the award of the contract to Opterra. Costs that make up the overall work are itemized and included in the attached Change Order. Costs were reviewed and found to be reasonable. The cost driver was the cost for the required equipment, i.e. pre-cast vault, concrete pads, conduit, etc., that were specified per the attached SCE plan.

The installation of telemetry-based connectivity equipment is required per California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) Resolution E-5038 as the addition of the new solar array increases the total system capacity to more than 1MW of power generation. The telemetry system will enable SCE to monitor and/or manage the solar array to support their electrical grid operations.

This Change Order was approved per authorization provided to the City Manager at the award of the Solar Contract by City Council at the December 16, 2016 meeting; "Authorize the City Manager to make changes to the project within the project budget"

Page 80 of 707 ends

FISCAL IMPACT:

The solar contract was awarded to Opterra Energy Services at the December 16, 2025, meeting in the amount of $3,680,000 with no contingency. In the essence of time, the project was awarded as a solar-only contract to start construction due to the impending SCE NEM 2.0 April 14, 2026, Deadline.

The City subsequently obtained financing for the full $3,680,000 contract amount.

Following the award of the combined Solar and WWTF Upgrade and Improvement Project on May 19, 2026, the portion of the project attributable to the solar was reduced by $705,480, resulting in a revised solar cost of $2,974,520. However, to maintain clear and accurate financial accounting and align with the existing financing structure, the City will pay Opterra the original contract amount of $3,680,000, plus the proposed Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $130,813. The $705,480 reduction will be recognized as a cost savings within the financing of the WWTF Upgrade and Improvement Project.

Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council appropriate $130,813 from the Wastewater Fund (0362) to fund Change Order No. 1 and ensure compliance with Southern California Edison requirements under CPUC Resolution E-5038.

Authorize the City Manager to execute a Work Order with 4Creeks Engineering for the PS&E Design of the 10th Avenue from Fargo Avenue to State Route 43 Road Rehabilitation Project in the amount of $295,747.50 and approve a 8.5% design contingency of $25,000 funded by the Measure H.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation:

That the City Council, by motion,

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute Work Order No. 3 with 4Creeks Engineering for the 10th Avenue from Fargo Avenue to State Route 43 Road; Rehabilitation PS&E design services in the amount Not to Exceed $295,747.50, to be funded by the Measure H Capital Fund; and

2. Approve an additional 8.5% Design Contingency in the amount of $25,000

Recommended Motion:

I make a motion to:

2. Approve an additional 8.5% Design Contingency in the amount of $25,000 BACKGROUND:

In May 2026, staff requested proposals from the City's existing On Call Architecture and Engineering (A&E) consultants for the 10th Avenue Roadway Rehabilitation Project from Fargo Avenue to State Route (SR) 43.

The project includes the preparation of all necessary plans, specifications, and construction cost estimates for the construction of Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) roadway rehabilitation of the 10th Avenue pavement from the south side of Fargo Avenue to SR43. Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) is a sustainable, cost-effective pavement rehabilitation technique that treats deteriorated roadways by pulverizing existing asphalt and base material and adding cement to the mixture to create a new, stabilized base. This process solves deep structural failures, such as cracking and rutting, while

Page 90 of 707 ends

reducing construction time, material hauling, and project costs by 45% to 53% and provides an environmentally friendly construction process that recycles the existing roadway materials.

The City received proposals from 3 firms in response to the RFP.

Proposals were evaluated based on the criteria outlined in the RFP, including:

• Understanding of the project scope and approach
• Relevant PS&E service experience
• Project schedule and staff availability
• Overall clarity and quality of the proposal

Following staff review and evaluation of submitted proposals, 4 Creeks, Inc. was identified as the most qualified firm for the project. 4Creeks demonstrated extensive experience delivering similar roadway rehabilitation and reconstruction projects throughout the Central Valley. Their proposal highlighted similar roadway improvement projects for the City of Visalia and emphasized their ability to deliver coordinated, construction-ready documents.

Based on proposal quality, project understanding, qualifications, relevant experience, and overall approach, staff determined that 4 Creeks, Inc. is the most qualified firm to provide PS&E services for the 10th Avenue Reconstruction Project and recommends their selection. 4Creeks provided the proposed cost for the design services in the amount of $295,747.50. Staff met with 4Creeks to discuss and negotiate the cost and scope of work to verify all required services were included and reasonable. The On Call A&E contract with 4Creeks utilizes a Not to Exceed billing format, and the proposed cost and scope were accepted for approval. An additional design contingency in the amount of $25,000 is requested to cover any unforeseen site circumstances or address additional coordination and design alterations that may be necessary as the project progresses.

Project Schedule:

The attached project design schedule shows the bid ready Plans, Specifications, and Construction Cost Estimates to be completed by March 2027. It is estimated that the City Council may award the construction contract in July 2027, with construction potentially beginning in August 2027.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for this project is available within the FY 2026/27 Measure H Capital Fund (0011) budget.

Funding for the overall Road Rehabilitation project has been included in the adopted Measure H Expenditure Plan budget for FY 2026/27 and FY 2027/28, although the FY 2027/28 appropriation is subject to change. Therefore, no additional appropriations are required at this time. Prior to awarding future contracts for the planning and construction phases of the project, staff will review available Measure H funding (which is dependent on actual revenues received) and budget balances to ensure sufficient appropriations are available before proceeding.

enhanced pedestrian crossings to reduce
conflict points and improve safety. The design
addressed complex constraints such as
limited right-of-way, elevation changes, and
adjacent residential access through innovative
geometry, frontage roads, and context-sensitive
median treatments, while incorporating Full
Depth Reclamation with Cement (FDR-C) to
strengthen the roadway and reduce long-term
maintenance needs.

The completed project delivers a safer, higher-
capacity corridor that improves circulation
for all users and supports future development,
and was recognized with a Merit Award in the
2026 ACEC Engineering Excellence Awards.

The Riggin Avenue Widening project, located
in the City of Visalia from Mooney Boulevard
to Conyer Street, expanded a key corridor
from two lanes to four, improving mobility,
enhancing multimodal safety, and supporting
continued growth in the area. As an important
east-west route, the corridor serves a diverse
mix of vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian
traffic. 4Creeks provided civil engineering,
survey, and utility coordination services for
the planning, design, and delivery of the
project. The improvements transformed
the existing constrained roadway into a
four-lane arterial and included the City of
Visalia’s first protected intersections, a nine-
phase signal system, bicycle detection, and

and safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

Additional improvements include sanitary
sewer and storm drain system upgrades, along
with extensive coordination and relocation of
major utilities with Southern California Edison
and Southern California Gas Company. A
key component of the project is the removal
and replacement of Tulare Irrigation District’s
main intake canal bridge (No. 46C0035),
ensuring continued functionality of critical
water infrastructure. These improvements will
enhance the corridor’s level of service, reduce
congestion, and provide a safer, more efficient
transportation route for the surrounding
communities.

This project consists of the widening and
improvement of approximately 1.5 miles of
Avenue 280 in the City of Visalia, from Santa Fe
Street to Lovers Lane. As a principal east-west
arterial connecting State Route 99 to the Cities
of Visalia, Farmersville, and Exeter, as well as
unincorporated areas of Tulare County, the
corridor plays a vital role in regional mobility.
4Creeks is providing professional services
for this major street improvement project,
which includes full roadway widening and
reconstruction, as well as ADA-compliant
curb ramps, drive approaches, and sidewalk
upgrades throughout the corridor. The project
also expands a Class I trail along the south
side of Avenue 280, enhancing connectivity

SUBJECT:

Approve the purchase of one (1) Kitchen Food Concession Trailer from Usedvending.com from Carriere, MS, for $71,445 and an additional appropriation of $44,945 from the Accumulated Capital Outlay (ACO) Fund.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: Staff recommend that the City Council approve the purchase of one (1) Kitchen Food Concession Trailer from Usedvending.com from Carriere, MS, for $71,445 and an additional appropriation of $44,945 from the Accumulated Capital Outlay (ACO) Fund.

Recommended Motion: I move to authorize the City Council to approve the purchase of one (1) Kitchen Food Concession Trailer from Usedvending.com from Carriere, MS, for $71,445 and an additional appropriation of $44,945 from the Accumulated Capital Outlay (ACO) Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Hanford recently constructed a new concession building at the Bob Hill Youth Baseball Complex. The concession building provides a new snack bar that allows prepackaged food and drinks to be served along with ADA-compliant restrooms but does not have the required equipment to legally cook inside. This would require the building to be upgraded to a full commercial kitchen.

Because the facility is a prefabricated building and not designed for the required equipment, the upgrade would not be possible. During the finalization of the building and inspection by the Kings County Health Department, the Hanford Youth Baseball (HYB) League was granted temporary use to cook outside the building and serve the food from the snack bar.

City staff began looking for alternatives that would meet all building code and county health requirements. Staff initially thought an outdoor kitchen would be a less costly option and good alternative. With this plan, $30,000 was budgeted during the Mid-Year Budget Review. Staff then met with the City’s Building Official to discuss the project and discovered building codes would require additional work to be completed to make the outdoor kitchen compliant. Some of these requirements include a nonporous surface under the cook station, fire suppression, hot and cold water, and a sewer drain with grease trap. This made the project very costly and extremely over budget. The idea of a self-contained food trailer was discussed and would meet all the building code requirements mentioned previously.

Staff started to research the cost and options available for food trailers. During the research, it was discovered that food trailers in the State of California are required to meet strict Mobile Food Facility

Page 113 of 707 ends

(MFF) regulations. Staff found a handful of used food trailers that met the MFF requirements, had the desired cooking equipment, and fit the space available at the facility. Staff then met with several of the HYB board members to discuss the food trailer option and the available trailers. HYB agreed on the proposed food trailer recommended in the staff report for purchase.

Staff believes the used food trailer is the only feasible option for establishing a cooking station that will serve both the HYB and the City's Recreation and Community Services Department during league play and other facility operations. Unfortunately, the cost for the food trailer is over the mid- year appropriation and will require an additional appropriation of ACO funds for the purchase, registration, and wrapping of the trailer with the City logo. Even with the additional appropriation, staff believe this is a much less costly and better option than the construction impact on the site and costs to construct an outdoor cooking station at the Bob Hill Youth Baseball Complex.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Council approved $30,000 from the Accumulated Capital Outlay (ACO) during the FY26 Mid-Year Budget Review for the construction of an outdoor cook station at the Bob Hill Youth Baseball Facility.

The ACO fund is a set-aside of funds specifically for capital projects. Staff are requesting an additional appropriation of $44,945 from the ACO fund for the purchase of a self-contained kitchen food trailer.

SUBJECT:

Acceptance of a Zero-Emissions Landscape Equipment Grant (ZELE) from the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) in the amount of $15,000 and authorization for the purchase of one (1) 60" electric mower from California Turf Equipment and Supply Company of Tulare, CA for $21,433.48, amend the budget to recognize the grant and appropriate $15,000 in the General Fund Parks Division, with the remaining $6,433.48 to be funded from previously appropriated monies designated for the purchase.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation:

That the City Council, by motion, approve the acceptance of a San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District grant in the amount of $15,000 for the purchase of one (1) EV mower from Califronia Turf and Equipment Supply Inc, of Tulare, CA in the amount of $21,433.48, amend the budget to recognize the grant and appropriate $15,000 in the General Fund Parks Division, with the remaining $6,433.48 to be funded from previously appropriated monies designated for the purchase

Recommended Motion:

I move to approve the acceptance of a San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District grant in the amount of $15,000 for the purchase of one (1) EV mower from Califronia Turf and Equipment Supply Inc, of Tulare, CA in the amount of $21,433.48, amend the budget to recognize the grant and appropriate $15,000 in the General Fund Parks Division, with the remaining $6,433.48 to be funded from previously appropriated monies designated for the purchase BACKGROUND:

The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) administers an annual Zero- Emission Landscaping Equipment Voucher Program that provides funding to public agencies for the purchase of electrified, zero-emission landscaping equipment. Eligible agencies may apply for vouchers of up to $15,000. The program requires no local matching funds; however, participants must surrender a comparable gasoline-powered piece of equipment to the SJVAPCD for permanent destruction.

City staff identified a gasoline-powered mower that had been removed from service and required significant repairs, making it an appropriate candidate for the voucher program's equipment

Page 131 of 707 ends

replacement requirements.

The City of Hanford was awarded the maximum voucher amount of $15,000. After evaluating available purchasing options, staff determined that utilizing Sourcewell Contract No. 112624-GNW offered the best value and streamlined procurement process. Staff therefore recommends purchasing the zero-emission electric mower from California Turf Equipment & Supply, Inc., of Tulare, California, through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract. This purchase will replace aging equipment, reduce maintenance costs and emissions, and support the City's continued commitment to environmentally sustainable operations.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact is $21,433.48 in which $15,000 will be reimbursed by the grant and $6,433.38 was previously appropriated for this purchase in the General Fund.

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 7/21/2026 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Approval of a sole source purchase of one (1) 2027 Front Load Refuse truck from Haaker Refuse of Tulare, Ca in the amount of $497,506.79 utilizing Sourcewell contract 110223-MCN and an appropriation in the same amount from the Fleet Replacement Reserve Fund (0448).

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation:

That the City Council, by motion, approve the sole source purchase of one (1) 2027 Front Load Refuse Truck from Haaker Refuse of Tulare, CA in the amount of $497,506.79, and an appropriation in the same amount from the Fleet Replacement Reserve Fund (0448)

Recommended Motion:

I move to approve the sole source purchase of one (1) 2027 Front Load Refuse Truck from Haaker Refuse of Tulare, CA in the amount of $497,506.79, and an appropriation in the same amount from the Fleet Replacement Reserve Fund (0448)
BACKGROUND:

The City of Hanford Refuse Division has been systematically converting its commercial refuse collection routes from rear-load service to front-load service to improve operational efficiency, enhance safety, and reduce long-term operating costs.

The current rear-load refuse truck, Unit #157, is a 12-year-old vehicle with 120,875 miles and a lifetime maintenance and repair cost of $243,368. Having exceeded its useful service life, Unit #157 has become increasingly costly to maintain and is in need of replacement.

To support the City's ongoing fleet standardization efforts, staff evaluated replacement options and determined that purchasing a front-load refuse truck from Haaker Refuse is in the City's best interest.

This purchase will maintain consistency within the existing refuse fleet, allowing the City to reduce the inventory of specialized parts and supplies, simplify technician training, improve maintenance efficiencies, minimize vehicle downtime, and lower overall life cycle costs. Replacing Unit #157 with a front-load truck also supports the Refuse Division's continued transition to a more efficient commercial collection system.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Page 164 of 707 ends

The City of Hanford Fleet Replacement Reserve Fund (0448) can fully fund this purchase.

MEETING DATE: 7/21/2026 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Adoption of Resolution No. 26-51-R for the acceptance of the FY 26/27 Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program (CTFGP) grant through the California Highway Patrol (CHP) in the amount of $88,640.10, amend the budget to recognize the grant, appropriate the total amount in the General Fund for the Police Department, and authorize the Police Chief or City Manager to execute the grant agreement and any related documents.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council, by motion, approve Resolution No. 26-51- R for the acceptance of the FY 26/27 Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program (CTFGP) grant through the California Highway Patrol (CHP) in the amount of $88,640.10, amend the budget to recognize the grant, appropriate the total amount in the General Fund for the Police Department, and authorize the Police Chief or City Manager to execute the grant agreement and any related documents.

Recommended Motion: I move to approve Resolution No. 26-51-R accepting the FY 26/27 Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program (CTFGP) grant through the California Highway Patrol (CHP) in the amount of $88,640.10, amend the budget to recognize the grant, appropriate the total amount in the General Fund for the Police Department, and authorize the Police Chief or City Manager to execute the grant agreement and any related documents.

BACKGROUND:

At the March 3, 2026, City Council meeting, Hanford Police Department (HPD) staff was granted approval to apply for the FY 26/27 Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program (CTFGP) grant through the California Highway Patrol (CHP). The CTFGP grant aims to reduce impaired driving and make roadways safer for the community. As such, all requested items for the CTFGP grant must be related to DUI/DUID (Driving Under the Influence/Drugs) enforcement. Staff submitted an application requesting $164,380.73 in grant funds to be used for DUI enforcement overtime costs, the purchase of a DUI checkpoint command trailer, a Ford F150, and DUI checkpoint equipment (such as vests and lights).

The CHP recently notified HPD staff that the grant application was approved for an award amount of $88,640.10. All requested items were approved except for the purchase of a Ford F150. Of the total awarded amount, $27,072 will be used for overtime staffing costs associated with twelve (12) DUI saturation parols and three (3) DUI checkpoints to be conducted over this fiscal year. The remaining $61,568.10 will be used to purchase a command trailer to be used during DUI checkpoint operations, reflective vests for personnel working the DUI Checkpoint operations, and portable lights to be staged around the DUI Checkpoint location.

Page 206 of 707 ends

The Hanford Police Department has not conducted any events or purchased any items in connection with this grant and is under no obligation to do so should the County not wish to accept these funds.

There are no matching funds associated with the grant award. An appropriation for the amount of the award is necessary to expend the funds as the reimbursement will occur after purchase.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact will total $88,640.10, paid by the CTFGP grant award. Staff is requesting a budget amendment to recognize the grant funds and an appropriation in the amount of $88,640.10 to the General Fund for the Police Department. The City will be reimbursed on a quarterly basis for costs incurred by the grant administrator.

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 7/21/2026 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Approval of the purchase of two (2) 2026 Dodge Durango K9 Patrol Vehicles from National Auto Fleet Group (Watsonville, CA), five (5) 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee Unmarked Administration Vehicles from Sager Dodge (Hanford, CA), and required upfitting from Cook's Communications for all vehicles for a total cost of $467,019.85.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: That the City Council, by motion, approve the purchase of two (2) 2026 Dodge Durango K9 Patrol Vehicles from National Auto Fleet Group (Watsonville, CA), five (5) 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee Unmarked Administration Vehicles from Sager Dodge (Hanford, CA), and required upfitting from Cook's Communications for all vehicles for a total cost of $467,019.85.

Recommended Motion: I move to approve the purchase of two (2) 2026 Dodge Durango K9 Patrol Vehicles from National Auto Fleet Group (Watsonville, CA), five (5) 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee Unmarked Administration Vehicles from Sager Dodge (Hanford, CA), and required upfitting from Cook's Communications for all vehicles for a total cost of $467,019.85.

BACKGROUND:

At the June 16, 2026 City Council meeting, $470,000 was appropriated from the Fleet Replacement Reserves for the purchase of seven (7) new vehicles for the Police Department. Five (5) of the seven (7) vehicles will be unmarked Administration vehicles and two (2) of the vehicles will be assigned to the department's K9 Division.

Currently, the Police Department's fleet includes two (2) K9 patrol vehicles that are over seven (7) years old and are considered past their useful life. Due to the specialized needs of K9 patrol vehicles and higher wear and tear, these vehicles need to be replaced after seven (7) years as opposed to the ten (10) year life cycle of a typical patrol vehicle. Since these units run constantly through a shift to ensure K9 safety, they require more maintenance as they age. The City's Fleet Division has informed the department that the two (2) units being replaced have incurred a combined total of $47,362.94 in repair costs, which further highlights the need to replace these units. By replacing the two (2) K9 units with 2026 Dodge Durangos, all K9 Officers will have newer vehicles. This maintains both officer and K9 safety.

The purchase of the five (5) unmarked administration 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokees will allow the department to replace five (5) existing administrative vehicles that have either met or will meet the City's vehicle replacement criteria in FY2027. Of the vehicles being replaced, three (3) are 2015 models, one (1) is a 2016 model, and one (1) is a 2017 model. These vehicles will be assigned to

Page 211 of 707 ends

administrative staff and the detectives unit. They will not be used for patrol operations and will require minimal upfitting. Leaving the vehicles unmarked further reduces upfitting costs that are usually incurred for patrol vehicles. Approval of the purchase of five (5) administrative vehicles will bring the department's administrative fleet up to date and aligned with the City's replacement criteria, with no additional administrative vehicle replacements anticipated in the immediate future.

City staff solicited quotes for five (5) 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokees from Sager Dodge, National Auto Fleet Group (NAFG) and Fresno Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (Fresno CDJR). NAFG and Fresno CDJR no longer offer the 2026 model year for the Jeep Grand Cherokee and provided quotes for the latest 2027 model. The department would like to purchase the current 2026 model as that model is readily available in stock. All 2027 model year Jeep Grand Cherokees must be ordered and manufactured and have a lead time of at least three (3) months. Sager Dodge provided the only quote for the 2026 model year at $47,206.59 per vehicle (total cost of $236,032.95). The quote from Fresno CDJR was lower than Sager Dodge at $45,697.75 per vehicle (total cost of $228,488.75).

However, Sager Dodge is a local dealership in Hanford, California and is within five (5) percent of the Fresno CDJR quote. For these reasons, and in accordance with the City's Purchasing Policy local vendor preference, staff is recommending to purchase the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokees from Sager Dodge.

City staff solicited a quote from National Auto Fleet Group (NAFG) for the purchase of the two (2) 2026 Dodge Durango K9 Patrol Vehicles. NAFG provided a quote using Sourcewell contract 081325- NAF for $55,363.75 per vehicle (total cost of $110,727.50). National Auto Fleet Group has supplied patrol vehicles to the city in the past and is able to ensure that patrol vehicles are correctly configured. By using Sourcewell Contract 081325-NAF, the vendor is offering a total savings of $5,611.76. Sourcewell Contract 081325-NAF was competitively bid at the time of original procurement.

Additionally, City staff solicited a quote for vehicle upfitting from Cook's Communications for all seven (7) requested vehicles. Cook's Communications provided separate quotes for the upfitting of the K9 Patrol Vehicles and administrative vehicles. K9 Patrol Vehicles require extensive upfitting to ensure officer and K9 safety. The provided quote for the Dodge Durango upfitting is $48,491.00 per vehicle.

As mentioned previously, the administrative vehicles will not require as much upfitting as patrol vehicles. The provided quote for the unmarked administrative vehicle upfitting is $4,655.48 per vehicle.

The total cost breakdown is below:

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 7/21/2026 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Amend the Personnel Master to add one (1) Office Assistant I/II Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) to the Refuse Division following approval of funding during the FY 2026-27 Mid-Cycle Budget Review.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: Staff recommends, by motion, the City Council amend the Personnel Master to add one (1) Office Assistant I/II Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) to the Refuse Division following approval of funding during the FY 2026-27 Mid-Cycle Budget Review

Recommended Motion: I move to amend the Personnel Master to add one (1) Office Assistant I/II Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) to the Refuse Division following approval of funding during the FY 2026- 27 Mid-Cycle Budget Review
BACKGROUND:

As part of the FY 2026-27 Mid-Cycle Budget Amendments approved by the City Council on June 16, funding was included in the Refuse Fund budget for one (1) Office Assistant I/II FTE position. The position was recommended as part of the 2025 Refuse Rate Study, with funding supported through the approved refuse rate increases effective May 1, 2026 and subsequent scheduled annual rate increases.

During implementation of the FY 2026-27 Mid-Cycle Budget Amendments, staff discovered that while funding for the position had been approved, the corresponding amendment to the City's Personnel Master to formally authorize the full-time position was inadvertently omitted.

The purpose of this item is to amend the Personnel Master to add one (1) Office Assistant I/II FTE position to the Refuse Division, aligning the City's authorized staffing levels with the funding previously approved by the City Council. This action is administrative in nature and requires no additional appropriation.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action has no fiscal impact, as funding for the position was previously approved in the FY 2026- 27 Mid-Cycle Budget Amendments.

BACKGROUND:

On June 19, 2026, the City issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 2026-33 for On-Call IT Networking, Consulting, and Support Services to obtain professional information technology consulting services on an as-needed basis. The RFP sought a qualified firm to provide network engineering, troubleshooting, infrastructure assessments, strategic planning, documentation, virtualization support, and emergency response services to assist City staff in maintaining a secure, reliable, and resilient network infrastructure. The agreement provides services for up to one year, with the option to extend on a month-to-month basis at the City's discretion.

The RFP was developed in anticipation of the retirement of the City's Information Technology Manager, effective July 3, 2026. Due to the critical nature of the position and the significant institutional knowledge associated with it, staff determined that supplemental professional IT services were necessary to ensure continuity of operations while recruitment for a permanent Information Technology Manager is underway. These services will assist existing IT staff with maintaining the

Page 252 of 707 ends

City's network infrastructure, cybersecurity environment, and ongoing technology projects while ensuring the continued delivery of essential public safety and municipal services.

Due to the limited timeframe before the manager's retirement, the City utilized an informal solicitation process by distributing the RFP directly to qualified firms with experience supporting municipal and enterprise network environments. Proposals were evaluated based on relevant experience, personnel qualifications, technical approach, references, and cost. Five firms submitted proposals, and interviews were conducted with four of them by the City Manager, Finance Director, and Acting IT Manager.

Following evaluation of the proposals received, staff recommends awarding the contract to Valley Expetec Technology Services. Valley Expetec demonstrated the technical qualifications and experience necessary to support the City's complex networking environment and provide both strategic consulting and hands-on technical support. Additionally, Valley Expetec has several technical staff who reside in the Hanford area, allowing for rapid on-site response during emergencies (if necessary) while also providing day-to-day support as needed. This combination of technical expertise, municipal experience, and local presence provides the City with the resources necessary to maintain critical technology services and support ongoing network initiatives during the transition to a new Information Technology Manager. The agreement is structured as a time-and- materials contract, providing the flexibility to utilize services only as needed while effectively managing project costs.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Appropriation of $100,000 within the Information Technology Services Internal Service Fund to provide funding for these professional services. A portion of these costs is expected to be offset by salary savings resulting from the vacant Information Technology Manager position until a permanent replacement is hired. As the Information Technology Services Fund is an Internal Service Fund, the cost of these services will ultimately be allocated among City operational departments through the City's annual cost allocation process.
