Hanford City Council
October 20, 2026

Acceptance of the vehicle is contingent on final 'wet testing' of the vehicle.

For the reasons above, staff are confident the fuel tanker vehicle from World Fuel Services will meet the needs of the Hanford Municipal Airport's new fuel island and will be a reliable unit without the cost of purchasing a new fuel tanker vehicle.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Council approved an appropriation of $370,000 for the purchase of a jet fuel tanker trunk as part of the Airport Fueling Island Project (11102021-826327). The proposed jet fuel tanker truck cost is under budget at a purchase price of $191,440.

Subject: Hanford Municipal Airport Jet A Refueler Inspection.

The purpose of this report is to assess current condition of (1) 2016 International Navistar Refueler (No Warranty) 5k gallon fueling tank. Cummins engine (Allison automatic transmission).

Details:
• 4947 miles
• 4141 engine hours
• 1361 PTO hours
• Very clean inside tank
• Very clean truck
• Air compressor ran (0 psi to 120 psi 3 minutes 40 seconds), solid pressure up timeline • All new fueling hoses
• Nozzles clean and in good condition
• Hose reels (Hannay) good working condition
• Hose reel motors good working condition
• All filters on drive train and fueling system recently serviced in March 2026

Immediate Follow Up Items:
• New tires all around (6) due to weather cracking (approximately $300-$600 each) • Driver side rear axle seal leak repaired (approximately 4 man hours minimum, plus parts) • Front steering components leaking and over greased (approximately 4 man hours minimum, plus parts)
• PTO seal leaking (approximately 12-16 man hours, plus parts) • Oil pan or rear main seal appears to be leaking (TBD) • Tank was empty, unable to wet test functionality of fueling system, internal valve, PTO, pump, etc. Would make purchase contingency the ability to wet test prior to closing. • Air system leaking down at approximately 5 psi every 10 minutes (Time and materials to track leak, probably 4 hour minimum, plus parts)
Summary
This truck seems a good value since the estimated repair costs would not exceed the cost of buying new. However, with no way to test the actual fueling system at time of inspection we suggest making it a contingency to see it take fuel and dispense fuel before closing.

Refuelers, by nature, idle a lot in their lifetimes. Something to be aware on this unit is the idle hours are very close to its miles. Trucks equipped with new emission that idle frequently could develop trouble with their EGR, EGR Cooling Systems which may lead to valve issues. At this time there is no reason to believe this engine has issues based on what can be observed. Since this could be the same scenario with a new truck, this is purely informational.

Advantages to purchasing new would be a warranty, longer life span on unit. Otherwise, this unit seems to be capable of fitting Hanford Municipal’s refueler needs for a good value. Repairs suggested are the result of normal wear and tear and do not seem to be a result of poor maintenance or hard operations.

MEETING DATE: 10/20/2026 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR SUBJECT:

Award of a contract to Mattos Underground Construction Inc, of Laton, CA, in the amount of $48,879.55, for the Courthouse Water Service Separation Project, and appropriate $48,879.55, from the Accumulated Capital Outlay (ACO) Fund (0004), to be reimbursed $6,315 from Esteem Land Co, the owner of the Courthouse.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council, by motion, authorize the City Manager to award a contract to Mattos Underground Construction Inc, of Laton, CA, in the amount of $48,879.55, for the Courthouse Water Service Separation Project, and appropriate $48,879.55 from the Acumulated Capital Outlay (ACO) Fund (0004), to be reimbursed $6,315 from Esteem Land Co, the owner of the Courthouse.

Recommended Motion: I move to authorize the City Manager to award a contract to Mattos Underground Construction Inc, of Laton, CA, in the amount of $48,879.55, for the Courthouse Water Service Separation Project, and appropriate $48,879.55 from the Acumulated Capital Outlay (ACO) Fund (0004), to be reimbursed $6,315 from Esteem Land Co, the owner of the Courthouse.

BACKGROUND:

The Old Kings County Courthouse is a downtown landmark located in Civic Park. The building was constructed in 1896-1897 after Kings County split from Tulare County and served as the county courthouse until 1977. The building was saved from demolition by the City of Hanford in the late 70’s and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The building has been maintained by the City over the last several decades, primarily as rentable commercial space and was recently sold to Esteemed Land Company in 2024.

With the sale of the Old Kings County Courthouse, the City began the process of separating utilities, landscape, and other common areas. The second utility that requires a separation project are the water services that serve the Courthouse, Old Kings County Jail (The Bastille), and park landscape.

To complete the project, three new water services will need to be installed. Currently, there are two water services. One of these services supplies water for the Courthouse building, Bastille, and park restrooms. The second water service supplies water for the park landscape and turf. The additional water services will separate the park restrooms and Bastille from the Courthouse and the second will supply the west side of the park. Esteem Land Company will fund the third water service for the landscape on the Southside of the Courthouse that was included in the sale of the building.

Staff have performed site inspections to determine the best placement for the additional water services and determine the most efficient location of the existing water main to be used. Staff also met onsite with Mattos Underground Construction Inc. because of their knowledge of the utility infrastructure in the area and the process to install the water services. Staff are requesting that Mattos Underground Construction Inc be used as a sole source vendor because of their knowledge of the downtown infrastructure and ability to complete the project. Mattos Underground is available to complete the project in less than one week, once awarded. This would reduce the impact on the park, eliminating scheduling conflicts with special events and completion before the start of Winter Wonderland. Staff also reviewed the cost estimate provided by Mattos Underground and the estimate is inline with competitive bids from other recent projects of like scope.

This is considered a Public Works contract and, therefore, is subject to State of California prevailing wages, registration with the Department of Industrial Relations and submission of certified payroll to the Labor Commissioner, as well as other requirements outlined in the City’s Labor Compliance Manual.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Staff is requesting an appropriation of $48,879.55 from the Accumulated Capital Outlay (ACO) Fund for the completion of the Courthouse Water Service Separation Project. Esteem Land Company will reimburse the City in the amount of $6,315 for the installation of a 1" water service. The reimbursement will be returned to the ACO Fund.

Adopt Resolution 26-72-R, Awarding a Professional Services Agreement to A&M Consulting Engineers, Inc. of Visalia, CA for Interim City Engineer and Municipal Engineering Services for a TwoYear Term for a total Amount Not to Exceed $360,000, to be offset by salary savings and allocated to CIP projects and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Agreement RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation:

1. That the City Council, by motion, adopt Resolution 26-72-R awarding a sole source Professional Services Agreement to A&M Consulting Engineers, Inc. for Interim City Engineer and Municipal Engineering Services for a two-year term in an amount not to exceed $360,000, to be offset by salary savings and allocated to CIP projects, with an option to extend services as needed; designating A&M Consulting Engineers, Inc. to perform the duties of City Engineer until the City Engineer position is filled, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Agreement.

Recommended Motion:

1. I move to adopt Resolution 26-72-R awarding a sole source Professional Services Agreement to A&M Consulting Engineers, Inc. for Interim City Engineer and Municipal Engineering Services for a two-year term in an amount not to exceed $360,000, to be offset by salary savings and allocated to CIP projects, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Agreement.

BACKGROUND:

CITY ENGINEER VACANCY
The City Engineer is the licensed civil engineer responsible for the engineering functions of the Utilities and Engineering Department, including approval of plans, maps, encroachment and utility permits, interpretation of the City’s engineering standards, and oversight of the City’s capital improvement and development engineering program. The budgeted City Engineer classification is

currently vacant, and the City is recruiting to fill it. The Department cannot pause the capital program during the recruitment. The Department is presently carrying a program with near-term, grant driven funding and delivery deadlines, including but not limited to:
• 10th Avenue Full Depth Reclamation, State Route 43 to Fargo Avenue – approximately $2.88 million, Measure H funded; design to be completed by early spring 2027 for construction in late spring or early summer 2027, with an ongoing obligation to demonstrate forward progress on Measure H funds.
• Heroes Park Phase I Improvements and offsites – approximately $10 million in Proposition 68 grant and local funds, with a critical grant deadline and a requested extension pending.
• Garner Avenue / Goleta Avenue Realignment – approximately $700,000, including a Measure H component.
• Water Well and Tank Design – design underway, with State Water Resources Control Board coordination and construction funding not yet fully identified. • Lacey Boulevard Complete Streets and the RAISE-funded China Alley / Paseo Project – federally funded projects requiring continuous City oversight of consultant schedules and Caltrans Local Assistance milestones.
• Annual NPDES MS4 Permit Filing – due mid-October 2026, together with two to three additional Measure H roadway rehabilitation projects, a speed study, and; • Requests for Proposals for the Intelligent Transportation System strategic plan, wastewater CCTV and cleaning services, water and wastewater pipeline improvements, and wastewater lift station maintenance.
• Private Development Engineering Services
An interruption in engineering oversight during the recruitment period would put grant schedules, reimbursement eligibility, and construction windows at risk.

STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS AND INTERIM TASK ORDER
On June 8, 2026, A&M Consulting Engineers, Inc. (A&M), a Visalia-based California corporation, submitted a Statement of Qualifications for On-Call Staff Augmentation for Project Management Services to the Department. A&M provides City Engineer and on-call municipal engineering services to public agencies throughout the Central Valley, including Lemoore, Corcoran, Avenal, Parlier, Exeter, Visalia, and Selma.

The firm’s personnel include licensed civil engineers, a licensed land surveyor, and construction management staff experienced in Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual requirements, grant compliance, utility and right-of-way coordination, and project controls. The Department reviewed the submittal, including key personnel, licensure, insurance coverage, conflict-of-interest disclosure, and litigation history, and found A&M qualified to perform the services.

On August 10, 2026, the Department met with A&M to scope the capital program and the interim City Engineer need. On August 11, 2026, the Department issued a Sole Source Justification under Purchasing Policy Sections D.1, E.5, and E.8, and on September 1, 2026, the City executed Task Order No. 1 with A&M for Contract City Engineer and Municipal Engineering Services on a time-andmaterials basis at a not-to-exceed amount of $49,999.00. The Task Order was approved by the City Manager within his purchasing authority under Purchasing Policy Section A.5, incorporated City Attorney and Human Resources comments received August 29, 2026, and was issued under

Purchase Order No. 22700383 dated September 2, 2026. Task Order No. 1 is expressly a stop-gap measure: its term runs through October 31, 2026, or until formal procurement of continuing services is finalized, whichever occurs first, and amounts paid under it are to be credited against the successor agreement so that the City does not pay twice for the same scope.

A&M has been performing under Task Order No. 1 since September 1, 2026, and is currently carrying the City Engineer function, the capital project oversight assignments listed above, and the NPDES permit filing. The Task Order was sized to bridge the period to the first available City Council meeting; it was not sized to carry the City through a recruitment, and Purchasing Policy Section F.2.D does not permit successive authorizations to be issued below the Council threshold to avoid Council review. The proposed Agreement is the successor agreement contemplated by the Task Order.

PROPOSED AGREEMENT
The proposed Professional Services Agreement carries forward the scope and structure of Task Order No. 1 and resolves the items the Task Order deferred to Council action. Its principal terms are:

1. Scope. (a) City Engineer services to provide critical leadership and coordination for the engineering division, plan, map, and permit review and approval, interpretation of engineering standards, engineering determinations, staff reports and Council presentations, and coordination with outside agencies, utilities, and consultants; (b) project management and oversight of assigned capital projects, including consultant design oversight, funding-agency coordination, and independent senior-level QA/QC; and (c) design services and construction management and inspection services on an as-requested basis, each authorized in writing by the Utilities and Engineering Director with an estimate of cost and remaining-budget impact before the assignment begins.

2. Term. Two years from execution, or until the City Engineer position is filled and the City provides written notice that the services are no longer required, whichever occurs first.

Either party may terminate the Agreement on thirty (30) days’ written notice, and the City pays only for services satisfactorily performed through the termination date. The Agreement is structured to remain in place through the recruitment and an orderly transition to the incoming City Engineer. However, project management services may be extended, as an option, based on workload demand at that time.

3. Compensation. Time and materials in accordance with the A&M 2026 Hourly Rate Schedule (Exhibit A to the Agreement), not to exceed $360,000 over the two-year term, inclusive of reimbursable expenses. Services performed in the City Engineer role are billed at the Professional Engineer 3 rate of $185.00 per hour; rates are inclusive of vehicle mileage, and reimbursable expenses, subconsultant procurement, materials, and printing are billed at cost times 1.10. The Department expects approximately 85 percent of the budget to be expended on senior professional engineering effort and approximately 15 percent on assistant engineer and construction administrator support and reimbursable.

The City incurs cost only for services actually rendered, and amounts paid under Task Order No. 1 are credited against the Agreement ceiling. Annual rate adjustments are subject to prior written approval of the Utilities and Engineering Director and may not increase the not-to-exceed amount.

4. Designation of City Engineer and delegated authority. The Resolution designates A&M to perform the duties of City Engineer and authorizes the Utilities and Engineering Director to confer on A&M’s designated California-licensed civil engineer, Diego Corvera, P.E. (License No. C85615), the signature and approval authority attaching to that office, including authority to sign maps, plans, permits, and certifications requiring the City

Engineer’s signature. A&M shall designate one alternate licensed engineer, subject to the Director’s written concurrence. The designated individual and alternate file Statements of Economic Interests under the City’s Conflict of Interest Code and Government Code Section 82019, and are identified in all correspondence as performing City Engineer duties on behalf of A&M Consulting Engineers, Inc.

5. Relationship of the parties. A&M is an independent contractor. The City contracts with the firm, not with any individual; A&M is solely responsible for staffing, supervising, compensating, and evaluating its personnel, and no A&M personnel are appointed to, placed in, or compensated through the City Engineer classification or carried on the City’s payroll, salary schedule, or position control roster. A&M personnel are not eligible for enrollment in the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) or any other benefit of City employment. A&M indemnifies the City against any claim, assessment, contribution, or penalty asserted by CalPERS, the Internal Revenue Service, or the Employment Development Department arising from a contention that A&M personnel are or were common law employees of the City, and maintains professional liability, commercial general liability, automobile liability, and workers’ compensation coverage naming the City as additional insured. The budgeted City Engineer classification remains vacant during the term of the Agreement.

6. City systems and records. Records created in performing the services are City records subject to the Public Records Act and the City’s retention schedule. A&M personnel may be provisioned City network, email, and system access as contractor accounts under the City’s information technology policies, limited to what the assigned services require and revoked upon expiration or termination of the Agreement.

7. Funding limitation. All services under the Agreement are billed to and reimbursed from local funds. A&M may provide City Engineer and project oversight services on federally funded projects, including the Lacey Boulevard Complete Streets Project and the RAISEfunded China Alley / Paseo Project, provided that time is charged to local funds and is not submitted for federal reimbursement. Consultant services billed to federal participation require prior Caltrans approval and a federally compliant, qualifications-based procurement under 23 U.S.C. 112(b)(2), 2 CFR 200.320, and the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual; the Agreement does not authorize federal reimbursement of A&M’s services.

SOLE SOURCE FINDINGS
The proposed Agreement exceeds $50,000 and therefore requires City Council approval under Purchasing Policy Section A.5. Purchasing Policy Section E.8 requires that sole source purchases be well documented and that the appropriate department verify that a good faith search for alternatives has been made. Government Code Section 37103 authorizes the City to contract with a specially trained and experienced firm for special services and advice in engineering matters. Staff recommends a sole source award to A&M, rather than a new competitive solicitation, on the following basis:

1. Continuity of the City Engineer function. A&M is presently performing the City Engineer function under Task Order No. 1 and is familiar with the status, funding source, schedule constraints, and outstanding issues on each project in the Department’s capital program.

Replacing the firm mid-recruitment would require a ramp-up period the Department cannot absorb without placing grant deadlines and construction windows at risk.

2. Qualifications matched to the need. A&M’s June 8, 2026 Statement of Qualifications demonstrates the combination of City Engineer experience, capital project management

across multiple state and local funding programs, and Caltrans Local Assistance familiarity that the role requires, consistent with the demonstrated competence and professional qualifications standard of Government Code Section 4526.

3. Good faith search for alternatives. The Department previously requested staff augmentation services from other local engineering firms, and none was able to provide the combination of interim City Engineer capacity, project management across an active multi-funding capital program, and availability on the timeline the Department requires.

Several engineering firms presently under contract with the City are the design consultants of record on the projects that would be subject to this oversight; assigning oversight of a project to its own designer would create a review-of-own-work condition and is an independent basis for excluding those firms.

4. Time is of the Essence. Services by A&M will be of a limited duration. Due to the current project workload in combination with the various demands on the City Engineer, time is of the essence to provide an interim solution using qualified and accomplished staff.The services are needed for the duration of the recruitment and transition, which is uncertain.

Conducting a separate competitive solicitation for an interim role would consume staff time and calendar without producing an available consultant on the Department’s timeline, and the Agreement terminates on notice once the position is filled. However, project management services can be extended (as an option) based on project workload.

5. Price reasonableness. Compensation is time and materials against A&M’s published 2026 Hourly Rate Schedule with no premium, escalation, or minimum applied, subject to a hard not-to-exceed ceiling. The Department finds the rates consistent with prevailing Central Valley municipal engineering consultant rates and reasonable relative to the fully burdened cost of the City Engineer classification over the equivalent period.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Award of a professional services agreement for engineering and administrative services is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5)) because it is an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Individual capital projects overseen under the Agreement are subject to their own environmental review.

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council may award the Agreement as proposed, award it with modifications, or decline the award and direct staff to conduct a competitive solicitation, in which case Task Order No. 1 expires October 31, 2026 and the City Engineer function would be uncovered during the solicitation.

Based on the above, Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 26-72-R awarding a sole source Professional Services Agreement to A&M Consulting Engineers, Inc. for Interim City Engineer and Municipal Engineering Services for a two-year term in an amount not to exceed $360,000, designating A&M to perform the duties of City Engineer until the position is filled, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Agreement is time and materials with a not-to-exceed amount of $360,000 over the two-year term, or approximately $180,000 per fiscal year, and is billed to and reimbursed from local funds.

The City incurs cost only for services actually rendered, and the $49,999.00 authorized under Task Order No. 1 (Purchase Order No. 22700383) is credited against the ceiling.

Funding for this work will be charged against City Engineer Salary Savings and/or the respective Project Funds being worked on.

1. Introductory Letter
June 8, 2026
City of Hanford
Department of Public Works
900 S 10th Ave
Hanford, CA 93230
Dear Mr. Senteno,
On behalf of A&M Consulting Engineers, I am pleased to submit our Statement of Qualifications to the City of Hanford for Qualifications for On-Call Staff Augmentation for Project Management Services.

A&M understands the City may be seeking staff augmentation to support project management for public agency projects, covering all aspects of project oversight, including grant application, design, utility coordination, right-of-way, bidding assistance, construction management, and grant reporting. We also understand that the consultant must be capable of managing projects administered through Caltrans Local Assistance and other state and federal funding programs while maintaining compliance with applicable procedures, documentation requirements, and audit standards.

We recognize that the City needs a partner who can step in efficiently as an extension of City staff, coordinating with City departments, consultants, utilities, contractors, and outside agencies, and carrying projects from early planning and funding pursuit through design, bidding, construction, and closeout. A&M is structured to provide this oversight on a task-order basis, supplementing the City’s team with senior project management leadership without the overhead of permanent hires.

A&M Consulting Engineers brings hands-on experience managing municipal projects for Central Valley agencies, including City Engineer and on-call assignments, grant-funded capital improvements, roadway and active transportation projects, water and wastewater infrastructure, storm drainage improvements, surveying, environmental coordination, and construction management. Much of this work has been delivered in and around Kings County, in communities such as Lemoore, Corcoran, Avenal, Parlier, Exeter, Visalia, and Selma, giving the City of Hanford a consultant already familiar with the region and its funding programs.

Our firm is well suited for this assignment because we pair local responsiveness with practical experience overseeing state- and federally funded projects. Our team includes licensed civil engineers, land surveyors, and construction management personnel experienced in Caltrans LAPM procedures, funding compliance, project controls, utility and right-of-way coordination, and the preparation and review of complete bid and construction documents. Our approach is to serve as an extension of City staff through clear communication, disciplined QA/ QC, and reliable support from project initiation through completion.

A&M is committed to providing the City of Hanford with timely service, sound technical judgment, and practical solutions that keep projects moving while protecting funding eligibility and maintaining compliance, especially for projects involving multiple agencies, phased authorizations, and reimbursement-based funding.

We respectfully submit our qualifications for your consideration and would be honored to support the City of Hanford under this on-call contract. Please contact our office if you have any questions or require additional information.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Diego Corvera, PE, LCI

3. Scope of Work
A&M 6
Scope.

We understand the City of Hanford is seeking staff
augmentation for project management services, a
consultant who can provide all aspects of project
oversight for a public agency, spanning grant
application, design, utility coordination, right-of-way, bidding assistance, construction management, and
grant reporting.

Project Understanding:

The City of Hanford needs an experienced partner
who can step in as an extension of City staff and take
ownership of project delivery on a task-order basis.

A&M is built precisely for this role. As a Visalia-based firm already working throughout Kings County, we can
mobilize quickly, communicate directly with City staff, and manage projects from funding pursuit through
construction and closeout. We also recognize that
many of the City’s priority projects depend on outside
funding. Our team manages the documentation,
coordination, and reporting required to keep grantfunded projects compliant and reimbursable, from application and authorization through environmental
clearance, construction, closeout, and audit, so the
City realizes the full value of every grant dollar.

Scope of Services
A&M is prepared to provide the following services,
tailored to the scope, funding source, schedule, and
coordination needs of each individual task order.

Project Management & Oversight

4. Approach
Community Outreach.

Two-Stage Outreach Approach
• We treat community outreach as a continuous process:
first to gather input that shapes grant applications, then to fulfill outreach and reporting requirements once
funding is awarded.

Pre-Grant Community Input
• Conduct community meetings, workshops, and pop-up
events to identify needs, safety concerns, and project
ideas.
• Use clear visual exhibits, concept sketches, and plainlanguage summaries of potential improvements. • Provide multilingual surveys (online and in-person)
and coordinate with schools, community groups, and
businesses.
• Ensure that grant applications are grounded in
community-identified needs and priorities.

Grant-Funded Outreach & Compliance
• Prepare outreach plans tailored to each grant
program’s guidelines and schedules.
• Host public meetings to review design options and
project milestones, and support school-based safety
campaigns and volunteer events.
• Manage logistics, materials, sign-in sheets, photos,
and summary memos for use in grant progress reports
and closeout documentation.

City Partnership & Capacity Building
• Act as an extension of City staff by organizing and
documenting outreach so it is meaningful to residents
and fully compliant with funding requirements.
• Use completed outreach to strengthen future
grant applications and build a reliable pipeline of
competitive projects for the City of Hanford.

Community Town Hall Meetings
A&M Consulting Engineers hosts town hall meetings in partnership with the cities we serve to gather valuable input from community members. We recognize the importance of listening to residents’ concerns and priorities. During these meetings, our team presents exhibits of potential projects that have generated community interest.

Attendees are encouraged to provide feedback and suggest changes, ensuring the proposals reflect local needs. This collaborative process allows us to refine project concepts and pursue grant funding opportunities, minimizing reliance on local funds and maximizing community benefit.

City of Corcoran Community Cleanup Event
A&M Consulting Engineers partnered with the City of Corcoran on a resident-led cleanup campaign that brought neighbors, staff, and volunteers together to clean streets, alleys, and public spaces. These events met Clean CA Local Grant requirements and paved the way for permanent improvements along the Whitley Avenue gateway corridor, including drought-tolerant landscaping, targeted litter reduction, energy-efficient lighting, and ADA-accessible sidewalks, curb ramps, and crossings. The result is a safer, brighter, and more welcoming entrance to Corcoran that reflects community pride and invites families to walk, gather, and feel at home.

City of Selma Tactical Urbanism Pilot Study 1
A&M Consulting Engineers partnered with Selma Unified School District and the City of Selma on an STP-funded Tactical Urbanism pilot to quickly improve streets around school campuses. With principals, crossing guards, and families, we installed low-cost, quick-build curb extensions, daylighted corners, high-visibility crosswalks, simplified student pick-up/drop-off, median refuges, and clear signing/striping. Before/ after observations, speed checks, and student travel tallies showed calmer, more predictable drop-off and now guide permanent safety improvements shaped by families’ input.

4. Approach
Grant Management.

After conducting meaningful community outreach, A&M Consulting Engineers takes the community’s concerns and priorities and turns them into clear and fundable projects.

We then match projects with the most suitable state and federal programs and structure competitive applications so community-driven needs can move forward with secured funding.

Develop and Maintain a Grant Management Plan:

A&M is well-versed in creating comprehensive grant management plans that outline key milestones, deliverables, and responsibilities. These plans serve as roadmaps to ensure that every aspect of the grant is systematically addressed and that all stakeholders are aware of their roles and timelines.

Monitor Grant Expenditures and Budget Adherence:

Budget management and adherence to grantor requirements are critical aspects of our expertise. We have a proven ability to closely monitor grant expenditures, track financial data, and ensure that spending aligns with grant guidelines. This approach guarantees compliance while optimizing resource utilization.

Coordinate with City Staff:

Collaboration is at the heart of our approach. We work closely with program staff to ensure that project activities align seamlessly with the grant’s objectives. Effective communication and coordination are central to our strategy for successful grant implementation.

Maintain Detailed Records and Documentation:

Our team places a premium on record-keeping and documentation.

We maintain meticulous records of all grant-related activities, transactions, and correspondence. This rigorous documentation is essential for demonstrating compliance and accountability to grantors.

Prepare and Submit Progress Reports:

We are proficient in preparing and submitting regular progress reports to grantors in strict accordance with established timelines and guidelines.

Our reports provide a comprehensive overview of project developments, achievements, challenges, and financial updates. Timely reporting is a hallmark of our commitment to transparency.

We are experienced in managing the diverse reporting requirements of our funding sources. For example, under the CDBG program, we submit a Quarterly Progress Report via the eCivis platform that includes both financial and activity data. Similarly, funding sources such as Clean CA require a quarterly progress report, submitted within 45 days, using Smartsheet.

Maintain Accurate and Complete Grant Files:

Our dedication to organization extends to maintaining accurate and complete grant files. These files include financial records, progress reports, correspondence with grantors, and any other pertinent documents. Our systematic approach ensures that all documentation is readily accessible and well-organized.

Ensure Timely Submission of Required Documentation:

Meeting deadlines for grant deliverables is non-negotiable for us. We prioritize timely submission of all required materials, from progress reports to financial statements and any additional documentation specified by grantors. This punctuality is integral to maintaining positive relationships with funding entities.

3. Contingent upon grant award, amend the budget to recognize the grant revenue and appropriate the remaining $2,210,000 for the projects from the TDA Fund (0050), including a local match not to exceed $230,000;

4. Authorize the City Manager or designee to sign and submit the applications, the Local Roadway Safety Plan certification, and related application documents; and

5. Authorize the City Manager to approve changes and/or change orders as necessary within the approved project budget.

BACKGROUND:

Staff requests City Council’s authorization to pursue $1.98M in grant funding and, if awarded to amend the budget to recognize the grant award and to appropriate $2,250,000, which includes a 10% local city match of $230,000 and $40,000 for grant writing services and contingency. A detailed appropriation breakdown is included in the Fiscal Impact Section below.

HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM CYCLE 13
The Highway Safety Improvement Program is a federal-aid program, administered in California by the Caltrans Division of Local Assistance, that funds proven, low-cost safety countermeasures to reduce fatal and serious-injury crashes on local roads. Caltrans released the Cycle 13 call for projects on July 1, 2026, and applications are due Monday, November 2, 2026. Approximately $370 million is available statewide: $306 million for competitive Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR) applications and $64 million in five funding set-asides.

HSIP reimburses up to 90 percent of eligible project costs for the countermeasures proposed in this report, and the City provides the remaining 10 percent of total project cost as its local match. Caltrans posts the list of selected projects approximately three to four months after the application deadline, so awards are expected in early 2027. Selected projects must reach the preliminary engineering milestone within nine months of the cycle start date (when HSIP funds are used for design), and construction authorization within three years (three and one-half years when a consultant performs the design).

To apply, an agency must have a Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) completed within the last five years. The City’s LRSP, finalized in May 2023, satisfies this requirement through May 2028, and the City will self-certify the plan with each application.

SET-ASIDE AND COMPETITIVE APPLICATIONS
Cycle 13 offers two routes to funding, and staff recommends using both:
• Funding set-asides – more direct awards. Set-aside applications do not require a benefit-cost analysis. Each agency may submit one application per set-aside, capped at $360,000 in HSIP funds for the Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements and Bike Safety

Improvements set-asides. When requests exceed the funds available, Caltrans selects in priority order, starting with agencies that received no HSIP awards in Cycles 11 and 12.

Caltrans’ approved project lists for those cycles include no City of Hanford projects, so the City is in the first-priority group, which makes the two set-aside applications the most direct path to an award. In Cycle 12, Avenal, Corcoran, and Lemoore each received $315,000 Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements set-aside awards, and Avenal and Lemoore each received $315,000 Bike Safety Improvements set-aside awards. • Benefit-Cost Ratio applications – competitive awards. BCR applications compete statewide and are funded in descending order of their benefit-cost ratio, calculated with the Caltrans HSIP Analyzer from each location’s crash history, the crash reduction expected from each countermeasure, and project cost. A ratio of at least 5.0 is required to apply. The funding cutoff is not known until selection is complete, and an agency may be awarded up to $10 million.

SAFETY NEED IDENTIFIED IN THE LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN The LRSP analyzed 1,669 reported crashes on City streets from 2015 through 2019, including 7 fatal and 56 severe-injury crashes – a combined average of 12.6 fatal and severe-injury crashes per year.

Sixty-six percent of all crashes occurred at intersections, and broadside collisions were the most common type (38.5 percent). Seventy-four crashes involved pedestrians; in 39 percent of them, a driver failed to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. Sixty-seven crashes involved bicyclists, and 39 percent of those involved a bicyclist riding on the wrong side of the road. In the Office of Traffic Safety’s 2019 rankings, Hanford ranked 30th of 105 California cities of similar size for pedestrians killed and injured, where first is worst. The City’s Active Transportation Plan (February 2025) recorded 48 bicycle and pedestrian collisions from 2018 through 2022, in which five people were killed.

The LRSP established five emphasis areas – intersection safety, speed management, pedestrian safety, wrong-side bicycle riding, and impaired driving – and its Table 9 packages HSIP-ready intersection projects with locations, countermeasures, costs, and benefit-cost ratios. Staff screened the LRSP projects and emphasis areas against the Cycle 13 program rules and cross-referenced them with the project lists in the Active Transportation Plan to select the applications with the strongest safety basis and the best fit to each funding category.

PROPOSED APPLICATIONS

1. Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements (set-aside). Upgrade pedestrian crossings at five signalized intersections that LRSP Table 9 lists for leading pedestrian intervals because pedestrian or bicycle crashes occurred there, and that the Active Transportation Plan also lists as Tier 1 “Urgent Action” pedestrian sites: 11th Avenue at Lacey Boulevard, at Davis Street, and at Seventh Street; and 10th Avenue at Grangeville Boulevard and at Lacey Boulevard/Seventh Street. The work includes leading pedestrian intervals, which give pedestrians a three- to seven-second head start before parallel vehicle traffic receives a green light; pedestrian countdown signal heads where missing; and high-visibility crosswalk markings with advance stop lines.

Safety benefit: The LRSP credits a leading pedestrian interval with a 60 percent reduction in pedestrian and bicycle crashes and countdown signal heads with a 25 percent reduction.

These five intersections recorded 72 crashes in the LRSP study period, eight of them involving a pedestrian or bicyclist. 11th Avenue and Lacey Boulevard had the most crashes of any signalized intersection in the LRSP (29 crashes, 18 with injuries) and the most bicycle and pedestrian collisions in the Active Transportation Plan; 10th Avenue and Grangeville Boulevard had the highest severity-weighted crash score of any signalized

intersection analyzed in the LRSP, including one fatal crash; and the Active Transportation Plan records a pedestrian fatality at 10th Avenue and Lacey Boulevard. The application will request the set-aside maximum of $360,000 in HSIP funds ($400,000 total project cost; $40,000 City match), with the number of crossings sized to fit. Work at 10th Avenue and Lacey Boulevard/Seventh Street will be coordinated with the City’s federally funded Lacey Boulevard Complete Streets project so that no work is funded twice.

2. Bike Safety Improvements, Florinda Street (set-aside). Install bicycle lanes on Florinda Street from 11th Avenue to 9-1/4 Avenue, approximately 1.8 miles: Class II bike lanes from 11th Avenue to 10th Avenue and Class II buffered bike lanes from 10th Avenue to 9-1/4 Avenue, with bike lane signing and the “wrong way” signs on the back of bike lane signs that the LRSP recommends. Both segments are Tier 1 Backbone projects in the Active Transportation Plan. Staff ranked five Active Transportation Plan corridors eligible for this set-aside against the LRSP crash data, and Florinda Street ranked third. The two higherranked corridors, Hanford-Armona Road and Grangeville Boulevard between 12th Avenue and 10th Avenue, have stronger segment crash histories but are estimated at or near the set-aside limit before cost escalation. Florinda Street fits well inside the limit and leaves room for escalation and contingency.

Safety benefit: Bike lanes give bicyclists a marked space in the direction of travel and directly address LRSP Emphasis Area 4, wrong-side bicycle riding. The corridor begins at 11th Avenue and Florinda Street/Rodgers Road, the signalized intersection with the second-most crashes in the LRSP (27 crashes, including two bicycle crashes), and crosses the Douty Street and Florinda Street signal, which is also an LRSP high-risk location. The Active Transportation Plan’s low-range estimate for the two segments is $264,250 in 2024 dollars (its high range, $1,083,250, reflects broader street work); the striping and signing-only scope proposed here is expected to fall at the low end.

Escalated, the total project cost is estimated at approximately $300,000 ($270,000 HSIP; $30,000 City match). Existing striping and curb-to-curb width will be confirmed in the field before the application is finalized.

3. Citywide Signal, Signing, and Striping Safety Upgrades (competitive BCR). This application combines LRSP Projects 1 and 2 into one systemic application. At up to 21 signalized intersections, it installs near-side signal heads and retroreflective backplates (when the LRSP was prepared, only two of these signals had near-side heads and none had backplates), improves signal timing, including yellow and all-red intervals, coordination, and phasing, and adds leading pedestrian intervals at the remaining LRSP locations where pedestrian or bicycle crashes occurred. At nine stop-controlled intersections, it installs larger or additional stop and warning signs, upgraded pavement markings, and intersection lighting where night crashes occurred and lighting is not present.

Safety benefit: These 30 locations accounted for 359 of the City’s 1,669 reported crashes (about 22 percent) in the LRSP study period. The LRSP credits signal hardware and signal timing improvements with a 15 percent reduction in all crash types each, upgraded intersection pavement markings with 25 percent, larger or additional signs with 15 percent, and intersection lighting with a 40 percent reduction in night crashes. The LRSP estimated the two projects at $1,284,273 in 2023 dollars, including design, environmental, contingency, and construction management, with benefit-cost ratios of 20.02 and 18.77.

Escalated to anticipated construction-year costs, the package is estimated at approximately $1,500,000 ($1,350,000 HSIP; $150,000 City match).

The ratio for the competitive application will be recalculated in the HSIP Analyzer with 2023–2025 crash data. Locations that fall below the 5.0 minimum will be removed, and additional signalized

locations may be added where they improve the overall ratio, as the LRSP anticipates. Cycle 13 also allows a systemic project to be submitted in more than one configuration, such as the full package and a higher-ratio subset, to improve its chance of selection; Caltrans funds the project once, at its highest-ratio configuration that clears the cutoff. The set-aside and competitive applications are scoped so that no work item is included in more than one application.

JUSTIFICATION FOR THE COMPETITIVE APPLICATION
The set-aside applications are capped at $360,000 each in HSIP funds. The competitive BCR application is the only route to funding at the scale of the LRSP’s intersection projects. Unlike the setasides, it is competitively awarded statewide. Staff recommends pursuing it for the following reasons:

1. The project is already defined. LRSP Projects 1 and 2 identify the locations, countermeasures, costs, and benefit-cost ratios. The application work is updating crash data and costs, not developing a new project.

2. The ratios are strong. The LRSP’s ratios of 20.02 and 18.77 are about four times the program minimum of 5.0. The ratios will change when they are recalculated with current crash data, but the margin above the minimum is substantial.

3. Program changes favor this project. Caltrans confirmed in its July 21, 2026 Cycle 13 webinar that signal timing improvements, a core element of the package, now reimburse at 90 percent, up from the 50 percent assumed in the LRSP. Under the prior rule the lower ratio would have applied to the whole project; under Cycle 13 the full package reimburses at 90 percent.

4. Low cost and quick delivery. Signal heads, backplates, timing changes, signs, and markings are installed within the existing right-of-way and can be delivered well within the HSIP delivery deadlines.

5. Limited downside. Adding the BCR application increases the application cost by approximately $7,000 to $10,000 for a chance at approximately $1.35 million in federal funds. If the project is not selected, no match is required, and the updated crash analysis positions the City for the next HSIP cycle.

OTHER SET-ASIDES CONSIDERED
Staff also screened the Lane Departure Prevention and Guardrail Upgrades set-asides. The LRSP does not define a project for either category, and staff does not recommend applying to them in this cycle.

NEXT STEPS
Following Council action, staff will complete the 2023–2025 crash data update, field-verify existing conditions, prepare the HSIP Analyzer files, cost estimates, application forms, and Engineer’s Checklists, and submit the applications through Caltrans’ Smartsheet submittal system by October 30, 2026, ahead of the November 2 deadline. If any project is selected, staff will return to the City Council to accept the award and appropriate the local match.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Submittal of grant applications is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4)) because it is a government fiscal activity that does not commit the City to any specific project. If funded, each project will be reviewed under CEQA and, through Caltrans, under the National Environmental Policy Act before construction. The proposed improvements are within existing right-of-way and are anticipated to qualify for categorical exemptions and exclusions.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Cost to apply. The cost to prepare and submit the three applications is estimated at $27,000 to $35,000: approximately $20,000 to $25,000 for the two set-aside applications and $7,000 to $10,000 more for the competitive BCR application, which requires the benefit-cost analysis. The work will be performed by A&M Consulting Engineers, Inc. on a time & material basis under the City’s agreement for Interim City Engineer. Sufficient funds are available within the Department’s Fiscal Year 2026-27 adopted budget under TDA Fund (0050). Application costs are not reimbursable by HSIP and are incurred whether or not a project is selected.

Matching funds if awarded. HSIP reimburses up to 90 percent of eligible project costs, and the City’s match is the remaining 10 percent of total project cost. Each dollar of City match brings nine dollars of HSIP funding. If awarded, the projects and matching funds would be:
• Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements (set-aside): total project cost $400,000; HSIP $360,000; City match $40,000.
• Bike Safety Improvements, Florinda Street (set-aside): total project cost approximately $300,000; HSIP $270,000; City match $30,000, rising to no more than $40,000 if costs reach the set-aside limit.
• Citywide Signal, Signing, and Striping Safety Upgrades (competitive): total project cost approximately $1,500,000; HSIP $1,350,000; City match $150,000. • All three awarded: approximately $2,200,000 in safety improvements, of which $1,980,000 is HSIP funding and $220,000 is City match. The resolution commits up to $230,000 so that both set-asides are covered at their limits. If only the two set-aside projects are awarded, the City match would be $70,000 to $80,000.

The appropriation request is itemized as follows:

Total Grant Fund Request: $1,980,000
10% Local Match: $230,000
Estimated Application Costs including $5,000
contingency (A&M Consulting Engineers):
$40,000
Total Appropriation Request: $2,250,000
No matching funds would be spent in Fiscal Year 2026-27. Awards are expected in early 2027, design would begin in Fiscal Year 2027-28, and construction would follow within the HSIP delivery deadlines.

If awarded, the budget would be amended to recognize the receipt of $1,980,000 in grant funds. The appropriation would authorize the immediate appropriation of $40,000 in TDA Funds (0050) for grant application services that includes a $5,000 contingency.

The match would be programmed in the Capital Improvement Program for those years from eligible local transportation funds, such as TDA, Gas Tax or SB 1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account funds, as determined with the Finance Department. Caltrans has confirmed that City staff time can be credited toward the local share as soft match, documented in the project finance letter, which would reduce the cash match. HSIP pays only up to the awarded amount, and costs above it are the City’s responsibility; staff will include escalation and contingency in the application estimates

to manage this risk. Acceptance of any award and appropriation of the match will return to the City Council.

MEETING DATE: 10/20/2026 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR SUBJECT:

Authorization to reimburse Consolidated Electrical Distributors, Inc., DBA Medallion Supply Hanford, lessee of City-owned property at 426 W. Lacey Boulevard, in the amount of $127,347 for building system repairs as required under the existing lease agreement and appropriate $127,347 from the Accumulated Capital Outlay Fund (0004)
RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: That the City Council, by motion, authorize the reimbursement to Consolidated Electrical Distributors, Inc., DBA Medallion Supply Hanford, lessee of City-owned property at 426 W.

Lacey Boulevard, in the amount of $127,347 for building system repairs as required under the existing lease agreement and appropriate $127,347 from the Accumulated Capital Outlay Fund (0004)
Recommended Motion: I move to authorize the reimbursement to Consolidated Electrical Distributors, Inc., DBA Medallion Supply Hanford, lessee of City-owned property at 426 W. Lacey Boulevard, in the amount of $127,347 for building system repairs as required under the existing lease agreement and appropriate $127,347 from the Accumulated Capital Outlay Fund (0004) BACKGROUND:

The City entered into a lease agreement effective October 5, 2023, with Consolidated Electrical Distributors, Inc., doing business as Medallion Supply Hanford, for City-owned property located at 426 W. Lacey Boulevard. Section 7.1F of the lease requires the office/retail building’s mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to be in good working order at the commencement of the lease.

The City was responsible for ensuring these systems met the required condition before the lease began. However, the City approved commencement of the lease while certain systems were not in good working order. Over the course of the lease, the lessee paid for repairs to address these initial deficiencies and has requested reimbursement totaling $127,347. The lessee has provided supporting documentation for the costs incurred.

Reimbursement was deferred due to pending related litigation, as the City was advised to hold payment until that matter was resolved. With the matter now resolved, staff recommends authorizing reimbursement. In addition to these building improvements, there is a bid currently out to repair the roof on the building, which staff recommends be paid for by the City as it would be in accordance with the lease agreement, as the roof was in disrepair at agreement execution. The roof item will be presented to City Council separately at a future meeting.

The proposed reimbursement addresses deficiencies that existed at lease commencement in the systems identified in Section 7.1F. It is separate from the lessee’s responsibility for routine maintenance and repairs during the lease.

FISCAL IMPACT:

An appropriation in the amount of $127,347 in the Accumulated Capital Outlay Fund (0004) is necessary to reimburse these costs.

City Manager
City of Hanford

Hanford, CA 93230
Re: 426 W. Lacey Blvd. - Request for Reimbursement / Rent Credit of $142,697 Dear Mr. Tavarez:

Consolidated Electrical Distributors, Inc. (CED), d/b/a Medallion Supply Hanford, submits this consolidated request for reimbursement, or an equivalent fixed-dollar rent credit, in the amount of $142,697 for costs associated with conditions encountered at 426 W. Lacey Blvd. during the initial renovation and occupancy process. The enclosed package consolidates the existing Lease records, contemporaneous CED-City correspondence, contractor-generated invoices already issued, photographs/video stills, and other existing project records supporting the request.

CED previously raised these conditions with the City during the project. The record includes written notice on October 17, 2023 regarding a completely inoperable HVAC unit and concealed ceiling conditions; an April 17, 2024 preliminary chargeback summary following a meeting with the City; a June 19, 2024 follow-up requesting another meeting and advising that final invoices were being assembled; and a January 15, 2025 final expense summary totaling $142,697. That January 2025 correspondence also records the prior discussion of a possible free-rent concession as a means of addressing the costs.

CED recognizes that Section 6 of the Lease generally places Tenant improvements at CED's cost. The enclosed request, however, concerns conditions CED contends were pre-existing, building-related, required remediation/restoration, or Citydirected work rather than elective showroom upgrades. Section 7.1.B assigns Tenant ordinary maintenance and minor repair not exceeding $500 per occurrence. Section 7.1.D separately assigns the City responsibility for repair of structural components of the office/retail building, including the roof, HVAC, and plumbing systems, subject to the terms stated in that section. Section

7.1.F further requires the mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems of the office/retail building to be in good working order at commencement. Section 9.C addresses losses arising from Landlord breach/default and pre-existing environmental conditions. See Exhibit A.

The First Lease Amendment modified insurance provisions and contains a confirmation that neither party was then in default, but it does not contain an express release, settlement, or waiver of the reimbursement issues CED had already raised. CED continued pursuing the chargeback discussion shortly after the Amendment. See Exhibits B and C.

CED / Medallion Supply Hanford | 426 W. Lacey Blvd. | Request for Reimbursement / Rent Credit | Cover Letter | Page 2

HVAC CONDITIONS ARE SEPARATE OCCURRENCES
The building contains three HVAC units. CED's request concerns two different units and two different conditions. HVAC Unit #1 was completely inoperable and required removal and replacement. HVAC Unit #2 was a separate existing unit that remained in place but required correction of its stand, plenum, ducting, and grilles. No reimbursement is requested for the third HVAC unit.

The two HVAC charges therefore should not be aggregated as a single $44,800 repair occurrence.

The contemporaneous October 2023 record is particularly important for Unit #1: CED notified the City shortly after lease execution that the unit was dead, and the original October 6, 2023 proposal quoted $15,000 for removal and replacement of the existing 4-ton unit. The final Invoice 227 reflects a broader completed scope of $32,000. Exhibit F presents both records without relying on any new statement or cooperation from the contractor.

CONCEALED SHOWROOM CONDITION
The showroom-related package totals $64,647 and consists of ceiling demolition, electrical demolition, drywall/ceiling restoration, electrical reinstallation labor and materials, and insulation. The existing records show that CED identified concealed bird contamination and significant building damage above the ceilings during the early project period, before the final invoices were issued. Exhibit E pairs the six invoices with the pre-construction ceiling photo/video stills and post-demolition stills documenting the exposed conditions and water-intrusion evidence.

EXISTING RECORDS / CONTRACTOR DISPUTE RESERVATION
This submission intentionally relies on records that already exist. CED is separately adverse to the general contractor concerning other project charges. Accordingly, no new contractor statement, declaration, certification, or cooperation is relied upon here. Contractor invoices, proposals, estimates, and other project records are included solely as contemporaneous evidence of the conditions encountered, work described, and amounts billed or attributed to that work. Their inclusion is not an admission that any contractor or subcontractor charge is valid, undisputed, finally owed, or payable. CED expressly reserves all rights, claims, defenses, offsets, objections, and remedies relating to its contractors and subcontractors.

REQUESTED RESOLUTION
CED requests reimbursement of $142,697 or, alternatively, a fixed $142,697 rent credit applied against future rent. CED is not requesting the separate $199,218.58 amortization figure referenced in the January 15, 2025 historical email. If the City prefers a rent-credit structure, CED proposes a fixed-dollar credit rather than a number of free-rent months so the value is not affected by annual rent adjustments.

Please provide a written response within fifteen (15) business days of receipt and identify the City's availability for a meeting to review the package. This request is submitted under and in connection with the Lease and is without waiver of any separate notice, claim-presentation, procedural, contractual, statutory, or other rights or requirements that may apply.

MEETING DATE: 10/20/2026 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR SUBJECT:

Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with NTM Productions of Visalia, CA for Council Chambers audio and video system replacements/upgrades in the amount of $61,284.32, and approve an additional appropriation of $11,284.32, to be funded by the IT Services Fund (0415), an internal service fund, with annual cost savings of approximately $63,000 yearly allocated to all operational departments
RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: That the City Council, by motion, authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with NTM Productions of Visalia, CA for Council Chambers audio and video system replacements/upgrades in the amount of $61,284.32, and approve an additional appropriation of $11,284.32, to be funded by the IT Services Fund (0415), an internal service fund, with annual costs savings of approximately $63,000 yearly allocated to all operational departments Recommended Motion: I move to Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with NTM Productions of Visalia, CA for Council Chambers audio and video system replacements/upgrades in the amount of $61,284.32, and approve an additional appropriation of $11,284.32, to be funded by the IT Services Fund (0415), an internal service fund, with annual costs savings of approximately $63,000 yearly allocated to all operational departments BACKGROUND:

During the mid-cycle budget process, City Council appropriated $50,000 for Council Chambers equipment upgrades, recognizing the need to replace aging equipment and improve meeting reliability. Issues with the existing equipment have affected audio quality, reinforcing the need to complete this project.

NTM Productions proposes an integrated upgrade that includes cameras, audio processing, speakers, video switching, touchscreen controls, and supporting network equipment. Automated functions and simplified controls will make meeting operations more efficient for staff. The proposal includes installation, programming, testing, and on-site staff training. The total project cost is $61,284.32, requiring an additional appropriation of $11,284.32.

NTM Productions has a local presence in Visalia, allowing technicians to provide on-site assistance when needed, and is highly regarded for its work with other cities. The project coincides with renewal of the City’s current streaming system, allowing staff to coordinate a seamless transition. Under the proposed solution, the City would stream meetings through Zoom Webinar at an estimated annual

cost of only $1,200. Compared with the proposed Granicus renewal and upgrade, switching would result in estimated savings of $63,511 in Year 1 and $63,295 annually thereafter.

Most importantly, reliable equipment supports the City’s compliance with the public access and remote participation requirements established by Senate Bill 707. Signed into law in October 2025, SB 707 amended the Ralph M. Brown Act, with requirements for eligible legislative bodies beginning July 1, 2026. These include opportunities for the public to attend and comment remotely and procedures for addressing service disruptions. The proposed upgrades will improve audio clarity and system reliability, helping preserve public access and reduce meeting interruptions.

FISCAL IMPACT:

An additional appropriation of $11,284.32 from the IT Services Fund (0415) is necessary to fully fund the cost. However, by approving the proposal the City will achieve significant savings of approximately $63,000 annually.

COUNCIL CHAMBERS
SCOPE
Scope of Work — Council Chambers
NTM Productions shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, programming, commissioning, and training required to deliver a complete and fully operational audio/visual system upgrade for the Council Chambers.

The project includes installation of a professionally integrated audio system designed to provide clear and intelligible speech reinforcement throughout the Council Chambers, including the dais, audience seating areas, and presentation spaces. Work includes installation of 2 new loudspeakers for the council, amplifier, Video Switching equipment, networked AV components, user control interfaces, and all supporting infrastructure required for a complete and functional system.

NTM Productions will install and integrate a centralized audio and control platform that allows Council staff to easily manage daily meetings and presentations through a simplified touchscreen interface. The system will provide streamlined operation for common functions such as microphone muting, source selection, volume adjustment, presentation routing, and system power control.

Control integration will also include communication with third-party equipment and legacy devices where required. NTM will provide two of these touch screens for control at the IT station or the clerk station. The system can also be controlled wirelessly through an iOS application.

Installation work includes mounting and securing all AV equipment, installation of equipment racks and cable management systems, pulling and terminating all required low-voltage, speaker, signal, control, and HDMI cabling, and integration of all networkconnected AV devices into the facility infrastructure. All cabling will be professionally dressed, labeled, tested, and documented as part of the completed installation.

System programming and commissioning will include configuration of the digital signal processor, audio routing, amplifier setup, loudspeaker tuning, user interface programming, and integration of control devices to ensure reliable and intuitive system operation. NTM Productions will perform complete testing and optimization of the system, including verification of audio coverage, speech intelligibility, signal flow, source switching, control functionality, and overall system performance within the Council Chambers environment.

Upon completion of installation and commissioning, NTM Productions will provide on-site training for designated Council staff covering day-to-day operation of the system, including touchscreen controls, microphone operation, source selection, and basic troubleshooting procedures. Training sessions will be scheduled to allow staff time to become familiar with the system and address operational questions after initial use.

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: 10/20/2026 AGENDA SECTION: GENERAL BUSINESS SUBJECT:

Introduce the first reading of Ordinance 26-09 amending Chapter 13.04 of the Hanford Municipal Code relating to Water Service System
RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: That the City Council, by motion, waive the first reading of Ordinance 26-09 amending Chapter

13.04 of the Hanford Municipal Code relating to Water Service System.

Recommended Motion: I move to waive the first reading of Ordinance 26-09 amending Chapter 13.04 of the Hanford Municipal Code relating to Water Service System.

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.

At the July 21, 2026, City Council Work Session staff presented to council the requirements of Assembly Bill AB1572, how the bill will affect existing landscapes, who it will affect, and the timeline for compliance. Staff also presented examples of functional and nonfunctional turf, and examples of compliant landscape designs. Council provided feedback on the proposed requirements of AB1572 and staff stated that revisions to the municipal code would be brought back to council for review and recommendation.

These municipal code revisions were presented to council during the October 6, 2026, City Council Meeting as a General Business item. Council reviewed the proposed municipal code amendments and directed staff to bring the proposed ordinance back at a future council meeting to introduce the first reading of Ordinance 26-09 amending Chapter 13.04 of the Hanford Municipal Code relating to Water Service System.

The ordinance will amend the following sections of Chapter 13.04 of the Hanford Municipal Code:
o 13.04.010. Definitions.
o 13.04.020. Services offered.
o 13.04.040. Water charges and rates.
o 13.04.150. Water use.
o 13.04.170. Administrative enforcement remedies.
o 13.04.190. Civil remedies.
o 13.04.200. Administrative citations.
o 13.04.210. Appeal.

These amendments will allow the City to comply with the January 1, 2027, deadline to adopt and/or revise local regulations. The amendments will also revise the penalty and appeal provisions to allow administrative citations for

violations and enforcement through the City's Code Enforcement Division. Staff also removed the flat rate service from sections 13.04.020 and 13.04.040. The flat rate service is no longer offered as an option to customers.

Accordingly, staff recommend the revisions to the City of Hanford Water Service System Ordinance Chapter 13.04 in attachment “A”.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Initial costs include staff time for inventory development, customer outreach, ordinance administration, and future landscape conversion projects, which will be absorbed within existing operational budgets as possible. Grant funding opportunities will be pursued where available.

portion thereof the service of washing, with water, any type of vehicle, boat or trailer in exchange for a fee, donation, other form of compensation, or for no compensation. Nothing contained in this subsection shall be interpreted to prohibit: (1) the operations of commercial washing businesses operating legally within the city, including, without limitation, commercial car washes operating at fixed sites and mobile car wash businesses; or (2) an individual or business from washing his/her/its own vehicles, boats and trailers as long as all washing activities comply with the requirements and restrictions of this section.

G. Leaks in Customer’s System. When a leak is discovered by a customer in a customer’s water system and a customer is charged for water that it has not used, as a result of the leakage, it shall be the policy of the city to aid the customer in locating the leak. If the leak is repaired by the customer within a period of 10 days of the date the leak is discovered and the customer can establish that a portion of the charges identified in its water bill are in excess of the amount normally charged to the customer, that excess amount of water use caused by the leakage shall be charged to the customer at the standard water rate. If the leak is not repaired by the customer within the 10 day period, the portion of the excess water usage which results from the leakage will be billed at two times the standard water rate until the leak is repaired by the customer. The city shall give prompt notice to a customer if the city obtains information indicating that a leak may exist in the customer’s exclusive control.

Hanford Municipal Code Section 13.04.170. is hereby amended to state:

A. Notice of Violation.

1. With respect to violations other than the failure to timely pay utility service charges, upon the determination by the city’s director of finance, director of public works, or designee that a person or entity has violated this chapter, such person or entity may be served with a written notice of violation. The notice shall, if feasible, describe the time, place, and circumstances of each violation charged and the corrective measures, if any, the person or entity is required to undertake to correct the violation. If the user who is responsible for the violation does not own the real property at which the violation occurred, the city will provide a copy of the notice to the owner when the notice is served upon the user.

2. The person or entity shall complete any corrective action described in the notice of violation within 10 calendar days of receipt of the notice of violation or shall identify in writing a proposed arrangement for the corrective action to be taken if corrective action cannot be reasonably completed during such 10 calendar day period. A proposed arrangement shall be submitted to the city official who issued the notice of violation.

3. Nothing in this section shall limit the authority of the city to take any action, including emergency actions or any other enforcement action, without first issuing a notice of violation.

B. Method of Service.

1. All written notices required by this chapter shall be served by personal delivery to the person or entity to be notified or by deposit in the United States Mail, certified with return receipt requested, addressed to such person or entity to be notified at his/her/its last known address as the same appears in the public records or other records pertaining to the matter

to which such notice is directed. Service by mail shall be deemed to have been completed at the time of deposit in the mail.

2. The failure of any person or entity to receive a notice properly served, mailed, posted, or published under this chapter shall not affect the validity of any proceedings occurring under this chapter.

C. Hearing.

1. If the director of finance, the director of public works, or designee, determines that the violation has not been eliminated by the deadline for compliance established pursuant to subsection A above, or that a violation has recurred prior to the compliance date, the city will set the matter for a hearing before a hearing officer designated by the city manager.

2. This hearing serves to provide a person or entity subject to a notice of violation a full opportunity to object to the determination that a violation has occurred, that the violation has continued to exist or has recurred, and/or that the person or entity is responsible for creating, maintaining, or fostering the violation. The failure of any person or entity subject to a notice of violation to appear at the hearing shall constitute a failure to exhaust administrative remedies.

3. The city clerk shall cause a written notice of hearing before the hearing officer to be served on each person and entity subject to the notice of violation and to the owner of the real property at which the violation occurred, if the owner and the user are different parties.

D. Notice of Hearing. Each hearing shall be set for a date not less than 15 calendar days nor more than 60 calendar days from the date of the notice of hearing unless the violator consents to a shortening or extension of time or the hearing officer determines that the matter is urgent or that good cause exists for an extension of time.

E. Conduct of Hearing.

1. At the date, time, and place set forth in the notice of hearing, the hearing officer shall conduct a hearing on the notice of violation.

2. At the hearing, the hearing officer shall consider any written or oral evidence, including the following:
a. The notice of violation and evidence submitted by persons subject to the notice of violation and by the city;
b. The objectively reasonable efforts made by the person or entity subject to the notice of violation to comply prior to the applicable compliance date; and c. Any condition or situation beyond the control of the person or entity subject to the notice of violation that prevented compliance by the applicable deadline.

F. Findings and Order.

1. Within 15 calendar days following the conclusion of the hearing, the hearing officer shall make findings and issue a written determination in connection with the notice of violation.

2. The findings made by the hearing officer shall be supported by the evidence received at the hearing or otherwise submitted to the hearing officer in accordance with State law or this code.

3. If the hearing officer finds by a preponderance of the evidence that a user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this chapter, excluding violations involving the timely payment of utility charges, the hearing officer may issue a compliance order containing the following:
a. Directive to the user ordering him/her/it to comply immediately with all requirements and take such appropriate remedial or preventive actions to properly address a continuing or threatened violation;
b. Directive to the user to cease activities causing or associated with the unauthorized activity;
c. Requirements to address the noncompliance or prevent the continuation, exacerbation, or reoccurrence of the violation;
d. Deadline for compliance;
e. Directive for the termination of water service to the violating property through the severance of the connection between the violating property and the city’s water system, if the user fails to take all required actions by the deadline established by the hearing officer;
f. Directive to the user to pay an administrative penalty for each violation, with each penalty not to exceed the maximum allowed under state law; g. Directive to the violator to pay reimbursement to the city for the fees and costs incurred by the city, including, without limitation, administrative costs and legal fees, associated with the violation;
h. Directive to the user to pay a deposit to the city that represents the fees and costs that the city will incur to address continuing violations;
i. Other terms, conditions, and/or requirements that the hearing officer finds reasonable; and/or
j. Authorization to city staff to take any other action that the hearing officer finds reasonable.

4. A compliance order does not relieve the user of liability for any violation, including any continuing violation. Issuance of a compliance order shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against the user.

5. Every person and entity subject to a compliance order shall observe and comply with such order and with all applicable laws, permits, and other approvals of federal, state, and local governments in any and all actions taken pursuant to or in order to comply with the compliance order, including, without limitation, the payment of applicable fees and charges.

6. If the hearing officer finds one or more of the following exists, then the hearing officer shall issue a finding of those facts:
a. That a violation did not occur or recur at or on the subject property after the compliance date established through the notice of violation
b. That the person or entity subject to the notice of violation took all objectively reasonable steps to comply with the notice of violation by the applicable compliance date; or
c. That some condition or situation beyond the control of the person or entity subject to the notice of violation prevented compliance prior to the compliance date.

G. Administrative Penalties.

1. When the hearing officer finds that a user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this chapter, with the exception of violations associated with the failure to pay utility charges in a timely manner, the hearing officer may fine such user in an amount not to exceed the then-current maximum allowed by state law. Such penalties may be assessed on a per violation per day basis.

2. Unpaid charges, fines and penalties shall, after the payment deadline identified in the compliance order, be assessed an additional penalty in an amount established by the city council by resolution, and interest shall accrue thereafter at a rate established by the city council by resolution; provided however, the additional penalty and/or interest shall not apply if collection of the same by the city would violate state law.

3. Issuance of an administrative fine shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against the user.

4. In determining the amount of a penalty, the hearing officer may take any or all of the following factors into consideration:
a. The period of time during which the violation(s) occurred; b. The nature, frequency, and recurrence of the violation(s); c. The ease with which the violation(s) could have been abated; d. The good faith efforts made to address the violation(s); e. The economic impact of the penalty on the person/entity responsible for payment; f. The impact of the violation on the public and/or property; and g. Such other factors as justice may require.

5. Penalties imposed by the hearing officer may accrue from a date no earlier than the compliance date specified in the compliance order and shall cease to accrue on the date the compliance order has been complied with as determined by the city.

6. Penalties assessed by the hearing officer shall be due by the date specified in the

compliance order.

7. Penalties assessed by the hearing officer are a debt owed to the city and, in addition to all other means of enforcement, may be enforced and collected through an assessment added to the property tax roll or though the recording of a lien against the real property at which the violation occurred.

8. If a person or entity subject to the compliance order gives written notice to the city officer issuing the notice of violation that the terms of the compliance order have been satisfied and if the director or designee finds that compliance has occurred, the date that the written notice is postmarked or personally delivered to the director or the date of the city’s final inspection, whichever occurs first, shall be deemed to be the date of compliance.

H. Report of Compliance after Compliance Order. If the director or designee issuing the notice of violation determines that a compliance order has been fully satisfied, the director or designee will file a report with the city clerk indicating that compliance has been achieved and the date of the city’s final inspection.

I. Compliance Dispute.

1. If the director or designee does not file a report required by subsection H above, a person or entity subject to a compliance order who believes that compliance has been achieved may request a compliance hearing by filing for a hearing with the city clerk.

2. The hearing shall be noticed and conducted in the same manner as a hearing on a notice of violation.

3. The hearing officer shall determine if compliance with the compliance order has been achieved and, if so, when it was achieved.

J. Right of Judicial Review. Following the exhaustion of administrative remedies identified in this chapter, any person or entity aggrieved by a compliance order may obtain review of such order in the superior court by filing with the court a petition for writ of mandate.

K. Lien and Tax Roll Assessment Procedures.

1. Whenever the amount of a penalty, cost, or fee, including interest, imposed upon a user by the city pursuant to this chapter has not been satisfied in full within 90 calendar days of an applicable due date and/or has not been successfully challenged, the obligation may constitute an assessment or a lien against the real property at which the violation occurred or is occurring.

2. The lien provided herein shall have no force or effect until recorded with the County Recorder. Once recorded, the lien shall have the force, effect, and priority of a judgment lien governed by the provisions of the California Code of Civil Procedure, as may be amended.

3. Interest shall accrue on the principal amount remaining unsatisfied pursuant to law at the rate established by the city council by resolution.

4. The director of finance or designee will, as applicable: (a) inform the Tax Collector for

Kings County, California of the assessment amount; and (b) record the lien in the office of the County Recorder for Kings County, California. The Tax Collector shall enter the amount on the county assessment book opposite the description of the real property, and the amount shall be collected together with all other taxes levied thereon against the real property. The assessment amount shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary county property taxes are collected and shall be subject to the same penalties and interest and to the same procedure for foreclosure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for property taxes. All laws applicable to the levy, collection, and enforcement of county property taxes are made applicable to such assessment.

5. If a lien is recorded, the city clerk will record a notice of satisfaction or provide the property owner of the subject property with a notice of satisfaction that may be recorded once payment in full is received by the city of the outstanding penalties, costs, fees, and interest.

Such notice of satisfaction shall cancel the city’s lien.

L. Consent Orders. The director of finance, the director of public works, or designee, may enter into consent orders, assurances of compliance, or other similar documents establishing a voluntary agreement with any user responsible for noncompliance. Such documents shall include the specific action to be taken by the user to correct the noncompliance within a time period specified in the document. Such documents shall have the same force and effect as a compliance order issued by the city.

Hanford Municipal Code Section 13.04.190. is hereby amended to state:

A. When the director of finance, the director of public works, or designee finds that a user has violated or continues to violate, any provision of this chapter, with the exception of provisions pertaining to the timely payment of utility charges, such director or designee may petition the Superior Court of Kings County, California, through the city’s attorney, for the issuance of a temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, and/or permanent injunction, as appropriate, which restrains or compels the specific performance of any requirement imposed by this chapter. A petition for injunctive relief shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against the user.

B. Nothing contained in this code shall preclude or limit the city from pursuing a civil action for damages against a person or entity that causes the city to incur injury, loss, costs, or expenses as a result of the person’s or entity’s violation of this chapter.

In addition to all other remedies, as part of any civil action brought by the city, a court may assess a civil penalty in an amount not to exceed the maximum allowed by state law per day for each violation with respect to any person or entity that violates this chapter, which penalty shall be payable to the city.

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: 10/20/2026 AGENDA SECTION: GENERAL BUSINESS SUBJECT:

Adopt Resolution 26-64-R (1), authorizing the execution of the First Amendments to the Subdivision Agreements associated with Tract 915-Unit 1 and Tract 915-Unit for completion of the subdivision improvements; or Adopt Resolution No. 26-64-R (2) causing the incomplete sewer improvements that are obligation of Enclave 66, LLC (Developer) for Tract 915-Unit I and Tract 915-Unit II, to be completed by allowing the City Manager and his designees to undertake all necessary and appropriate action to complete the sewer improvements.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation:

That the City Council adopt Resolution 26-64-R (1), authorizing the execution of the First Amendments to the Subdivision Agreements associated with Tract 915-Unit 1 and Tract 915-Unit for completion of the subdivision improvements; or,
Adopt Resolution 26-64-R (2), authorizing the City Manager and his designees to terminate the Subdivision Agreements associated with Tract 915-Unit 1 and Tract 915-Unit 2, revoke any previously issued permits for Enclave 66, LLC (Developer) to construct the improvements required under the Subdivision Agreements, and cause the incomplete sewer improvements that are obligation of the Developer to be completed by allowing the City Manager and his designees to undertake all necessary and appropriate action to complete the sewer improvements and any remaining subdivision improvements as deemed necessary.

Recommended Motion:

I move to adopt Resolution 26-64-R (1), authorizing the execution of the First Amendments to the Subdivision Agreements associated with Tract 915-Unit 1 and Tract 915-Unit for completion of the subdivision improvements; OR,
I move to adopt Resolution 26-64-R (2), authorizing the City Manager and his designees to terminate the Subdivision Agreements associated with Tract 915-Unit 1 and Tract 915-Unit 2, revoke any previously issued permits for Enclave 66, LLC (Developer) to construct the improvements required under the Subdivision Agreements, and cause the incomplete sewer improvements that are obligation of the Developer to be completed by allowing the City Manager and his designees to undertake all necessary and appropriate action to complete the sewer improvements and any remaining subdivision improvements as deemed necessary.

SUMMARY:

Enclave 66 LLC. (Developer), failed to meet the requirements of Section §16.24.110 of the Hanford Municipal Code, which stipulates that the subdivision improvements must be completed within twentyPage 372 of 444 four (24) months after the July 21, 2023 recording of the final map, unless an extension is granted by Council. The Developer failed to complete the improvements for Tract 915-1 and 915-2 within the stipulated timeframe and did not request an extension within the required minimum thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Subdivision Improvement Agreements (Agreements). The Agreements have expired.

Both subdivision tracts contain a substantial amount of improvements that remain outstanding, including a sewer lift station and conveyance piping (sewer improvements) required to be constructed with Tract 915-Unit 1 that will not only serve the Developers' subdivisions, but future developments in the region. Further delays in the completion of the sewer improvements will only continue to be detrimental to ongoing and future subdivision developments in the area.

City staff have made multiple coordinated efforts to address the expired agreements and outstanding subdivision improvements with the Developer and have had partial success. In order to rectify all matters associated with Tract 915-Unit 1 and Tract 915-Unit 2, amendments (First Amendments) to the subdivision agreements must be executed, by Council's adoption of a resolution in accordance with the Hanford Municipal Code, to allow the Developer to continue to complete the outstanding improvements, including any other First Amendment stipulations. Developer must execute the First Amendments and submit the signed and notarized documents to staff prior to the City Council agenda meeting date.

In the interest of avoiding further delays, City staff is requesting that the City Council consider two (2) separate motions to act upon, depending on the Developer's willingness and continued cooperation with the City to complete their subdivision requirements.

Therefore, Staff recommends that City Council adopt the appropriate version of Resolution 26-64-R; 1) authorizing the execution of the First Amendments to the Subdivision Agreements associated with Tract 915-Unit 1 and Tract 915-Unit 2 for completion of the subdivision improvements; OR, in the instance that the First Amendments were not signed and submitted by Developer to City staff prior to the October 20, 2026 Council meeting; Then, 2) authorizing the City Manager and his designees to terminate the Subdivision Agreements associated with Tract 915-Unit 1 and Tract 915-Unit 2, revoke any previously issued permits for Enclave 66, LLC (Developer) to construct the improvements required under the Subdivision Agreements, and cause the incomplete sewer improvements that are obligation of the Developer to be completed by allowing the City Manager and his designees to undertake all necessary and appropriate action to complete the sewer improvements and any remaining subdivision improvements as deemed necessary.

By executing the First Amendments, the Developer acknowledges the terms and conditions associated with continuing to complete Tract 915-Unit 1 and Tract 915-Unit 2 and the timing to which occupancies of the subdivision will be allowed (to be at time of issuance of a Notice of Completion).

The first resolution associated with this circumstance will allow extension of the subdivision agreements and provide conditional milestones to which the sewer improvements shall be timely constructed. Additionally, the resolution provides further stipulations should the Developer default or underperform.

Conversely, should the Developer contest the First Amendments and not deliver signed and notarized documents to city staff prior to the October 20th Council meeting, the second resolution ordering the uncompleted sewer improvements to be completed will allow city staff to seek construction by other developments and potentially collect from the Developer’s performance bonds to cover the Developer's fair-share costs, in addition to terminating the existing subdivision agreements and revoking any previously issued permits.

The location of the Tract 915-1 and 915-2 subdivisions are provided on the attached aerial maps.

BACKGROUND:

A Tentative Subdivision Agreement was executed between the Developer and City on June 6, 2022, allowing the Developer to install improvements within the boundary of the developments prior to recording a final map or providing security bonds.

On July 18, 2023, final Subdivision Improvement Agreements for Tract 915-1 and Tract 915-2 were executed. The final maps for both Tract 915-1 and Tract 915-2 subdivisions are attached for reference, consisting of a 26-lot subdivision and a 40-lot subdivision respectively, and recorded with Kings County Recorder’s Office on July 21, 2023. Due to a portion of the improvements being completed under the Tentative Subdivision Improvement Agreement, the Developer provided reduced bonds for the final Subdivision Improvement Agreements reflecting the cost for remaining improvements to be installed.

The Developer has completed the majority of the residential home construction for Tract 915-1 but has failed to provide, among other required improvements, the sanitary sewer lift station and conveyance piping (sewer improvements) within the abutting arterial and collector streets to provide sewer service to the development, resulting in the City of Hanford’s Building Department being unable to issue certificates of occupancy.

Currently, there are no residential homes constructed for Tract 915-2. The Developer has only installed underground utilities and a portion of required right-of-way improvements.

On June 12, 2026, the City, in a good faith effort, provided an unsolicited offer to extend the expired Subdivision Improvement Agreements (SIA) for both Tract 915-1 and Tract 915-2 as described in Section §16.24.110 of the Hanford Municipal Code, with amendments to the SIA’s (First Amendments) that included a path forward to allow for completion of the developments.

On July 8, 2026, City staff held an in-person meeting at the Developer’s request to discuss the contents of the First Amendments associated with the extension. City staff left this meeting with the understanding that both parties could move forward with mutually agreed-upon modifications to the First Amendments. Modifications to the First Amendments were made accordingly and mailed via Certified Mail to the Developer for signature on July 21, 2026. Attempts for certified delivery by the United States Postal Service (USPS) were unsuccessful and, ultimately, the documents were returned to City staff after the Developer failed to pick up the parcel at the USPS facility.

On August 3, 2026, a voicemail was received from the Developer with what City staff determined to be unsubstantiated concerns and responded accordingly via email on August 3, 2026. A response from the Developer was subsequently received on August 5, 2026, stating a response to the agreements would be provided later in the day, however a response was never received.

On August 17, 2026, City staff provided a letter to the Developer by Certified Mail notifying it of the breach of the Subdivision Improvement Agreements for Tract 915-1 and Tract 915-2. After receiving no response from the Developer or a receipt of delivery from USPS and in an effort to keep the Developer informed, City staff emailed the Developer a copy of the letter on August 26, 2026. Again, City staff did not receive a response. The letter is attached for Council's reference.

In addition to the continued efforts to amend and extend the Developer's agreements, City staff spent additional time and resources determining an alternate route for the sewer system as the initial design required an off-site easement over and across an adjacent parcel not owned by the Developer. This

was an attempt to relieve the Developer of the easement acquisition process by providing a less impactful and fast-tracked improvement design for the sewer improvements to be completed on time, as it is imperative that the sewer improvements be completed as other developments in the area are dependent upon these improvements. The alternate sewer improvement plans were accepted for construction by the City on August 20, 2026.

Due to the ongoing and multiple attempts made by City staff to work with the Developer to rectify the issue and extend the agreement terms to allow the Developer to complete the outstanding improvements, City staff brought the matter before City Council on September 15, 2026, to request that Council authorize and cause the incomplete sewer improvements to be completed. This action is consistent with Hanford Municipal Code § 16.24.110 Completion of improvements A: Subdivisions of Five or More Parcels. The subdivision improvements shall be completed by the subdivider within 24 months, or such time as approved by the city engineer, not to exceed a period of 36 months, after the recording of the final map, unless an extension is granted by the council. The improvements shall be completed prior to the final building inspection or occupancy of any unit within the subdivision. "Should the subdivider fail to complete the improvements within the specified time, the city, by resolution of the council and at its option, may cause any or all uncompleted improvements to be completed, and the parties executing the improvement security shall be firmly bound for the payment of all necessary costs."
The item was moved to October 6, 2026 meeting, at the request of the Developer, and subsequently rescheduled by staff to the October 20, 2026 Council meeting to allow further internal discussion during a closed session with City Council at the October 6th meeting. Following the September 15, 2026 Council meeting, City staff met with the Developer and further coordinated and clarified the First Amendment stipulations necessary to seamlessly allow the Developer to continue completion of their subdivision tracts. Further adjustments were made to the First Amendments following City Council's direction during the October 6th closed session.

To date, the Developer has secured a contractor to begin completion of the sewer improvements and has coordinated such efforts and permitting with city staff.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2018-06, and all notices related thereto were prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City of Hanford Municipal Code Policies.

PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION:

City Council approved the Final Maps for Tract 915-1 and Tract 915-2 on July 18, 2023.

Re: Breach of Subdivision Improvement Agreements- Tract 915-1 and Tract 915-2 Mr. Bailey,
On June 12, 2026, the City of Hanford (City), in a good faith effort provided an unsolicited offer to extend the already expired Subdivision Improvement Agreements (SIA) for both Tract 915-1 and Tract 915-2 as described in Section §16.24.110 of the Hanford Municipal Code, with amendments to the SIA’s (Amendments) that included a path forward to allow for compleƟon of the developments.

On July 8, 2026, City staff held an in-person meeƟng with you at your request to discuss the contents of the Amendments associated with the extension. City staff leŌ this meeƟng with the understanding that both parƟes could move forward with mutually agreed upon modificaƟons to the Amendments.

On July 21, 2026, the City modified the Amendments that were conforming with your requests made at the July 8, 2026 meeƟng, and sent an email copy to you for your review. In that email you were also noƟfied that a hard copy was being mailed to you for your signature and that the signed Amendments were to be submiƩed to the City no later than August 4, 2026, so that the City could maintain an August 18, 2026 City Council meeƟng for the approval of the Amendments. An aƩempt on July 27, 2026, by the United States Postal Service (USPS) to deliver the documents via CerƟfied Mail was unsuccessful as nobody was available to receive the delivery. The USPS has since been holding the documents for your in-person pickup and receipt at their facility.

During the Ɵme following our in-person meeƟng, and with your knowledge, the City, in a good faith effort, has been spending addiƟonal Ɵme reviewing sanitary sewer force main improvement plans for your development.

The plans are being produced by an engineering firm with interest in developing an adjacent subdivision; which is also reliant on the sanitary sewer improvements aƩributed to your development improvement plans. The adjacent development cannot proceed due to the incomplete improvements of Tract 915-1.

On August 3, 2026, City staff received a phone call from you with concerns regarding the sanitary sewer force main plans. City staff found that your concerns were unsubstanƟated and staff responded accordingly via email on August 3, 2026. Again, staff requested you sign and return the Amendments to the City by the August 4, 2026, deadline so staff can move forward with the August 18, 2026 City Council date for approval.

As of the date of this leƩer, beyond the August 4th deadline, the City has not received the signed Amendments.

Therefore, the City deems your company in breach of the Subdivision Improvement Agreements (SIAs) for Tract 915-1 and 915-2 and withdraws the Amendments for Tract 915-1 and Tract 915-2 that were previously mailed to you. The agenda item for the August 18, 2026, City Council date has been removed.

Since your company failed to Ɵmely complete the liŌ staƟon and force main, a resoluƟon will, in accordance with Hanford Municipal Code SecƟon 16.24.110.A., be considered by the Hanford City Council at its September 15, 2026 meeƟng. The City will cause the uncompleted liŌ staƟon and force main to be constructed should the Council adopt the resoluƟon. During the public comment porƟon of the Council meeƟng, you will have an opportunity to address the Council before it considers and acts upon the proposed resoluƟon.

As a path forward, and as a condiƟon of the issuance of a NoƟce of CompleƟon for Tract 915-1 and for Tract 915- 2, the following requirements must be saƟsfied.
 New SIA Amendments will be required for both Tract 915-1 and Tract 915-2, as the construction deadline for the remaining subdivision improvements have lapsed and your company is in breach. The new Amendments will be submitted to you and must be executed and returned by the deadline specified by the City.
 Proportionate share of costs associated with the city’s installation of the sanitary sewer lift station and force main will be enforced and due in full at the time of your execution of the new SIA Amendments.  Your surety company will need to provide documentation to the City confirming that the existing bonds remain in effect with respect to remaining subdivision improvements, which must be completed under the to-be-amended SIA’s, or that they will issue new bonds.  The City will also require you to provide updated insurance documents.

With your company’s failure to complete the required improvements, city staff have determined that creaƟng an avenue for surrounding projects to proceed with their development is a priority. Should the City Council determined that the City will cause the liŌ staƟon and force main to be constructed, the City, will retain the right to submit a claim under your performance bond and/or pursue any other remedy available under law should your company fail to pay its proporƟonate share of construcƟon costs as described above.

The compleƟon of the sanitary sewer improvements by the city will not allow occupancy for Tract 915-1 or Tract 915-2. Occupancy of Tract 915-1 and 915-2 will be withheld unƟl such Ɵme that new SIA Amendments are executed, your company’s share of costs for the liŌ staƟon and force main are paid in full, all remaining subdivision improvements are completed and accepted by the city, and you have been issued a NoƟce of CompleƟon.

EXHIBIT “A”
First Amendment to Subdivision Agreement for Tract 915-1 Dan Bailey, Manager
Enclave 66, LLC.
5526 W. Sweet Dr.

Visalia, CA. 93291 October 13, 2026
Re: Expiration of Tract 915-1 Subdivision Improvement Agreement Mr. Bailey,
In response to your letter to the city dated April 30, 2026, and subsequent discussions, the city is providing the following information:

The Final Map for Tract 915-1 recorded with Kings County Recorder’s Office on July 21, 2023. The process described within Section §16.24.110 of the Hanford Municipal Code is in place for a subdivider to seek an extension of a subdivision improvement agreement when approaching twenty-four (24) months after the recording of the final map if all improvements are not completed. The subdivider, Enclave 66, LLC., for Tract 915-1 failed to request an extension of the Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA) causing the SIA to expire. Section §16.24.110 of the Hanford Municipal Code is provided in the following pages.

It is the intent of the City of Hanford to waive the deadline for a request to extend the SIA and offer an extension of the Tract 915-1 SIA to Enclave 66, LLC, with amendments that, if approved by City Council, will terminate one-hundred eighty (180) days from the date of City Council approval to allow for completion of all outstanding development improvements and to ultimately obtain a Notice of Completion. As to avoid delays to adjacent developers that are reliant on the lift station, which will be installed by your entity, as their only means of sanitary sewer conveyance, completion of the sanitary sewer system to full operation and City acceptance must occur within sixty (60) days of City Council approval of this amendment.

In the event that the subdivider fails to complete and have the City accept the outstanding sanitary sewer improvements within sixty (60) days of Council approval of the amendment, the City of Hanford will exercise its rights to utilize the bonds provided by the subdivider’s surety to complete the remainder of the outstanding sewer improvements. In such case, the one hundred eighty (180) day allowance to complete other outstanding improvements will be null and void, and, in such case, the City may exercise its right to utilize the bonds provided by your company’s surety to complete the improvements.

All sections within the original SIA will remain unchanged with the exception of the terms modified by the amendment.

The enclosed First Amendment to Subdivision Agreement Improvement must be signed and returned to the City no later than October 19, 2026. If you fail to do so, your company will be deemed in breach of the Subdivision Improvement Agreement and the City will pursue all remedies available, including, without limitation, submission of a claim under the performance bond held by the city.

Director, Utilities and Engineering
Hanford Municipal Code:
§ 16.24.110 Completion of improvements.

A. Subdivisions of Five or More Parcels. The subdivision improvements shall be completed by the subdivider within 24 months, or such time as approved by the city engineer, not to exceed a period of 36 months, after the recording of the final map, unless an extension is granted by the council. The improvements shall be completed prior to the final building inspection or occupancy of any unit within the subdivision.

Should the subdivider fail to complete the improvements within the specified time, the city, by resolution of the council and at its option, may cause any or all uncompleted improvements to be completed, and the parties executing the improvement security shall be firmly bound for the payment of all necessary costs.

B. Subdivisions of Four or Less Parcels. The completion of improvements will not be required until such time as a permit or other grant approval for the development of any parcel within the subdivision is applied for. The completion of the improvements may be required by a specified date by the city when the completion of such improvements is found to be necessary for the public health or safety or for the orderly development of the surrounding area. This finding shall be made by the city engineer or authorized representative. The specified date, when required, shall be stated in the subdivision improvement agreement. The improvements shall be completed prior to the final building inspection or occupancy of any unit within the subdivision.

C. Extensions. The completion date may be extended by the council for subdivisions of five or more parcels and by the city engineer for subdivisions of four or less parcels upon a written request by the developer and the submittal of adequate evidence to justify the extension. The request shall be made not less than 30 days prior to the expiration of the subdivision improvement agreement. The subdivider shall enter into a subdivision improvement agreement extension with the city. For subdivisions of five or more parcels the agreement shall be prepared and signed by the city engineer, approved as to form by the city attorney, executed by the subdivider and the issue of the improvement securities, and transmitted to the council for its consideration. If approved by the council, the mayor shall execute the agreement on behalf of the city.

In consideration of a subdivision improvement agreement extension, the following may be required:

1. The revision of improvement plans to provide for current design and construction standards when required by the city engineer;

2. Revised improvement construction estimates to reflect current improvement costs as approved by the city engineer;

3. The increase of improvement securities in accordance with revised construction estimates; and

4. Inspection fees may be increased to reflect current construction costs but shall not be subject to any decrease or refund.

The council may impose additional requirements as recommended by the city engineer or as it may deem necessary as a condition to approving any time extension for the completion of improvements. The costs incurred by the city in processing the agreement shall be borne by the subdivider at actual cost.

Recitals
A. WHEREAS, CITY and SUBDIVIDER executed that Subdivision Agreement (“Agreement”) for the SUBDIVISION, dated June 15, 2023, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference; and
B. WHEREAS, the Agreement was executed in association with the Final Map for Tract No. 915, Unit 1 recorded on July, 21, 2023 in Volume 27, of Maps, at Page 25, Kings County Records, as Fee Book No._2310548, which is incorporated herein by reference; and C. WHEREAS, per Hanford Municipal Code Section 16.24.110.A., all subdivision improvements for the SUBDIVISION were to be completed within twenty-four (24) months after the recording of the SUBDIVISION’s Final Map; and
D.

E. WHEREAS, SUBDIVIDER did not submit a request to extend the Agreement in accordance with Hanford Municipal Code Section 16.24.110.C.; and F. CITY is willing to waive the deadline for SUBDIVIDER’s submission of an Agreement extension request.

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration received, CITY and SUBDIVIDER hereby amend the Agreement as follows:

A. Restriction on Development and Sale of Lots:

1. SUBDIVIDER will not sell or lease any lots within the SUBDIVISION prior to SUBDIVIDER’s completion and CITY’s acceptance of all outstanding SUBDIVISION improvements subject to the Agreement or this Amendment.

2. CITY will issue no building permits for residential structures within the SUBDIVISION until all SUBDIVISION improvements subject to the Agreement or this Amendment have been completed by SUBDIVIDER and accepted by CITY.

3. With respect to any residential structures within the SUBDIVISION for which CITY previously issued building permits, SUBDIVIDER will receive Certificates of Occupancy for such structures at such time that: (i) all SUBDIVISION improvements required under the Agreement or this Amendment have been completed by SUBDIVIDER and accepted by CITY; and (ii) the CITY’s Building Division performs final inspections and approves the residential structures.

B. Final Map Certificate of Correction:

1. SUBDIVIDER shall, within thirty (30) calendar days of the Effective Date, provide a Certificate of Correction for review by the CITY to amend the Owner’s Statement on the Tract 915 Unit 1 Final Map. The statement: “WE FURTHER OFFER FOR

DEDICATION A PUBLIC EASEMENT FOR THE INSTALLATION, OPERATION,

AND MAINTENANCE OF WATER IMPROVEMENTS AND FOR THE

INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE OF GAS LINES AND

CONDUITS FOR ELECTRIC, TELEVISION AND TELEPHONE SERVICES,

TOGETHER WITH ANY AND ALL APPURTENANCES PERTAINING THERETO ANYWHERE WITHIN LOT B.” CITY will not take ownership of or responsibility for sanitary sewer or storm drainage infrastructure within private streets.

SUBDIVIDER will produce all required documentation for CITY review and will record the document approved by CITY, all of this being at SUBDIVIDER’s expense and as a condition of Notice of Completion issuance.

C. Sanitary Sewer Improvements:

1. SUBDIVIDER shall construct sanitary sewer lift station improvements as shown on the improvement plans submitted by the SUBDIVIDER and approved by CITY, which are incorporated herein by reference; with exception to the sewer system conveyance piping, which has been redesigned to route through Millennium Way for conveyance to the existing fifteen-inch (15”) sanitary sewer main located in Centennial Drive. The lift station shall be sized to service future areas as shown on the “Sanitary Sewer Design” exhibit, dated 12/3/2018 as provided by Zumwalt Hansen, Inc., and re-assessed by AKEL Engineering on 6/10/26, which are incorporated herein by reference. The force main has been sized for conveyance as identified with the re-assessed “SW Lacey Sewer Tributary Area” map, which is

attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and incorporated herein by reference. The twelveinch (12”) piping between SSMH-14 and SSMH-15 that has already been installed along the Aquifer Drive project frontage associated with the conveyance of the lift station effluent as shown in the original improvement plans approved by the city May 26, 2022, shall be abandoned in place by SUBDIVIDER by plugging with brick and mortar on each end. Manhole SSMH-14 shall be abandoned in place by removing the top portion of the manhole to a minimum of four-feet (4’) below grade or to an elevation that is below the designed grade of the new force main, whichever is greater, creating drain holes in the floor of the manhole for drainage purposes and then filled with compacted sand to the top of the barrel. Manhole SSMH-15 shall be abandoned by removing the top of the manhole to a minimum of four-feet (4’) below finished grade, create holes in the floor of the manhole for drainage purposes and fill with compacted sand to the top of the barrel. Both manholes shall be completed to grade with clean backfill and approved road section material to finished grade. The installation of additional twelve-inch (12”) piping between the north boundary of Tract 915 Phase I to Lacey Boulevard shall not be a requirement of SUBDIVIDER. SUBDIVIDER’s construction of the sanitary sewer improvement described herein will not relieve SUBDIVIDER from the payment of sanitary sewer development impact fees that are unrelated to the improvements constructed by SUBDIVIDER hereunder.

2. SUBDIVIDER shall install a permanent sanitary sewer force main within the paved roadway section of city right-of-way to flow south to Millennium Way and shall continue to the east on Millennium Way and connect to existing manhole “EX.

SSMH-3,” as indicated on the revised sanitary sewer force main improvement plans that have been accepted by the City on August 20, 2026 and which are incorporated herein by reference, located at the intersection of Millennium Way and Centennial Drive. All trenching shall conform to CITY Standard Detail ST-8, which is incorporated herein by reference, and all asphalt previously installed that is affected by the trenching shall be heater-remixed by use of infrared asphalt repair once repaved. All costs associated with design and installation shall be at the SUBDIVIDER’s sole expense as a condition of Notice of Completion issuance. a. All force main piping shall be fully installed and ready for use by November 14, 2026. This shall include all trench backfill, testing and asphalt paving.

3. The lift station and all other associated sanitary sewer improvements required hereunder, including roadway trench and permanent paving, shall be completed and in a condition for CITY’s acceptance within sixty (60) calendar days of the Hanford City Council’s approval of this Amendment. Within the sixty (60) calendar day period, Developer shall establish a temporary power source to energize the lift station in the interim until such time that Southern California Edison (“SCE”) can provide the dedicated permanent power source to the lift station per the design.

The temporary power shall not be installed under the existing block wall, and an overhead alternative shall be utilized. Developer shall be responsible for the operation of the temporary power source and shall take all action necessary to ensure that, if power to the lift station is interrupted as a result of the failure of the temporary power source, Developer will take immediate action to restore power by repairing the temporary power source. Upon the installation of permanent power by SCE, the temporary power source shall be removed by Developer at

Developer’s sole cost. Temporary power sources such as generators and the like will not be utilized as an interim power source.
a. Lift Station coating and testing shall be completed by November 4, 2026. b. Pumps and mechanical piping shall be installed and ready for start-up testing by December 2, 2026, including temporary power. c. Start up and testing of sanitary sewer lift station shall take place by December 10, 2026.

4. SUBDIVIDER shall obtain an encroachment permit from CITY for the portion of work to complete the installation of the force main within Aquifer Drive, Millennium Way and Centennial Drive.

5. All costs incurred by CITY associated with the sewer improvements described herein, including, without limitation, CITY staff time, legal fees, mapping, recording and amending improvement plans shall be reimbursed by SUBDIVIDER. Payment to CITY shall be due, in full, within thirty (30) calendar days of SUBDIVIDER’s receipt of a written payment request from CITY.

D. Refund Agreement and Prevailing Wage:

1. SUBDIVIDER may be entitled to enter into a refund agreement with CITY in accordance with Hanford Municipal Code Section 13.08.140.B, which is incorporated herein by reference, for reimbursement of a portion of the sanitary sewer lift station improvements which also provide a benefit to other properties.

2. All work for which SUBDIVIDER will receive reimbursement from CITY shall be subject to California statutory prevailing wage requirements, and SUBDIVIDER shall be solely responsible for satisfying such requirements. SUBDIVIDER shall indemnify, defend, and hold CITY and its officials, officers, agents, representatives, and employees harmless from any and all liability, losses, claims, damages, awards, penalties, and costs of whatsoever kind or character, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs, to the extent arising out of, or related, directly or indirectly, to the failure by SUBDIVIDER or SUBDIVIDER’s contractor to satisfy prevailing wage requirements. This duty to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless shall survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement.

E. Landscaping and Irrigation:

1. SUBDIVIDER shall complete the installation of landscaping along Millennium Way and Aquifer Drive development frontages as shown in the approved landscape improvement plans as a condition of Notice of Completion issuance.

F. Street Improvements: SUBDIVIDER shall complete all paving, signage, and pavement striping and energized streetlights on interior streets, Millennium Way and Aquifer Drive as shown in the approved improvement plans as a condition of Notice of Completion issuance.

G. Storm Drainage Basin Improvements: SUBDIVIDER shall complete the installation of the outfall structure in the storm drainage basin as shown in the approved improvement plans as a condition of Notice of Completion issuance.

H. Weed Abatement and Dust Control: SUBDIVIDER shall, on a consistent basis, monitor and control weed growth for both interior and exterior of the subdivision. Fugitive dust shall be mitigated for uncompleted portions of the development by installing a dust palliative and reapply at intervals per product manufacturer directions.

I. Community Facilities District:

1. SUBDIVIDER acknowledges that, as a condition of approval (“CFD Condition of Approval”) for Tract No. 915, a residential subdivision project known as “Enclave 66,” a Community Facilities District (“CFD”) shall be formed for the purpose of funding public safety services (“CFD Public Safety”). It is further contemplated that SUBDIVIDER, as the party that owns the land comprising the SUBDIVISION will cast the votes required under the California Government Code to approve the special taxes (“Special Taxes”) to be levied by the CFD.

2. All costs associated with the formation of the CFD will be at the expense of the SUBDIVIDER. Upon receipt of CITY’s written request, SUBDIVIDER will deposit with CITY an amount representing the anticipated costs that CITY will incur to form the CFD. SUBDIVIDER will deposit additional amounts should CITY anticipate that the deposit held by CITY will be insufficient to complete the process to form the CFD and levy CFD assessments.

3. The CFD formation and the approval of assessment amounts are material conditions to the amended Agreement. Should SUBDIVIDER oppose the CFD formation or fail to utilize its voting authority to approve the CFD assessment amounts, this Amendment shall automatically terminate and SUBDIVIDER will be deemed in default of the Agreement.

J. Agreement Expiration: The amended Agreement shall expire one hundred eighty (180) calendar days from the date on which this Amendment is approved by the Hanford City Council (“Expiration Date”). Except as otherwise specified herein, all IMPROVEMENTS required under the Agreement and this Amendment, including, without limitation, the sewer, landscape, irrigation, storm drainage, and street improvements referenced herein, must be completed by the Expiration Date.

K. Default: If SUBDIVIDER defaults hereunder, CITY may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to SUBDIVIDER and/or pursue any remedy available at law or in equity.

The remedies available to CITY will include, without limitation, the filing of a claim under SUBDIVIDER’s performance and payment security for the completion of the IMPROVEMENTS.

Remedies available to CITY shall be cumulative and not restrictive.

L. Effect of Amendment: All terms and conditions of the Agreement that are not otherwise amended herein shall remain in full force and effect.

M. Miscellaneous:

1. If an action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of the Agreement or this Amendment, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other reasonable relief to which it may be entitled. With respect to any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the documentation related hereto, the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the Superior Court for the County of Kings, State of California for any proceeding arising hereunder.

2. If any provision of the Agreement or this Amendment is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way.

3. No change, amendment or modification of the Agreement shall be valid unless the same be in writing and signed by the parties hereto.

4. Waiver of a breach or default under the Agreement shall not constitute a continuing waiver of a subsequent breach of the same or any other provision under the Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment at Hanford, Kings County, California.

First Amendment to Subdivision Agreement for Tract 915-2 Dan Bailey, Manager
Enclave 66, LLC.
5526 W. Sweet Dr.

Visalia, CA. 93291 October 13, 2026
Re: Expiration of Tract 915-2 Subdivision Improvement Agreement Mr. Bailey,
In reference to Tract 915-2 of the Enclave Subdivision, the city is providing the following information:

The Final Map for Tract 915-2 recorded with Kings County Recorder’s Office on July 21, 2023. The process described within Section §16.24.110 of the Hanford Municipal Code is in place for a subdivider to seek an extension of a subdivision improvement agreement when approaching twenty-four (24) months after the recording of the final map if all improvements are not completed. The subdivider, Enclave 66, LLC., for Tract 915-2 failed to request an extension of the Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA) causing the SIA to expire. Section §16.24.110 of the Hanford Municipal Code is provided in the following pages.

It is the intent of the City of Hanford to waive the deadline for a request to extend the SIA and offer an extension of the Tract 915-2 SIA to Enclave 66, LLC, with amendments that, if approved by City Council, will terminate three-hundred sixty-five calendar (365) days from the date of City Council approval to allow for completion of all outstanding development improvements and to ultimately obtain a Notice of Completion.

In the event that the subdivider fails to complete the outstanding subdivision improvements by the end of the extended term of the SIA, the City of Hanford will exercise its rights to utilize the bonds provided by the subdivider’s surety provider to complete the improvements.

All sections within the original SIA will remain unchanged with the exception of the terms modified by the amendment.

The enclosed First Amendment to Subdivision Agreement Improvement must be signed and returned to the City no later than October 19, 2026. If you fail to do so, your company will be deemed in breach of the Subdivision Improvement Agreement and the City will pursue all remedies available, including, without limitation, submission of a claim under the performance bond held by the city.

Hanford Municipal Code:
§ 16.24.110 Completion of improvements.

A. Subdivisions of Five or More Parcels. The subdivision improvements shall be completed by the subdivider within 24 months, or such time as approved by the city engineer, not to exceed a period of 36 months, after the recording of the final map, unless an extension is granted by the council. The improvements shall be completed prior to the final building inspection or occupancy of any unit within the subdivision.

Should the subdivider fail to complete the improvements within the specified time, the city, by resolution of the council and at its option, may cause any or all uncompleted improvements to be completed, and the parties executing the improvement security shall be firmly bound for the payment of all necessary costs.

B. Subdivisions of Four or Less Parcels. The completion of improvements will not be required until such time as a permit or other grant approval for the development of any parcel within the subdivision is applied for. The completion of the improvements may be required by a specified date by the city when the completion of such improvements is found to be necessary for the public health or safety or for the orderly development of the surrounding area. This finding shall be made by the city engineer or authorized representative. The specified date, when required, shall be stated in the subdivision improvement agreement. The improvements shall be completed prior to the final building inspection or occupancy of any unit within the subdivision.

C. Extensions. The completion date may be extended by the council for subdivisions of five or more parcels and by the city engineer for subdivisions of four or less parcels upon a written request by the developer and the submittal of adequate evidence to justify the extension. The request shall be made not less than 30 days prior to the expiration of the subdivision improvement agreement. The subdivider shall enter into a subdivision improvement agreement extension with the city. For subdivisions of five or more parcels the agreement shall be prepared and signed by the city engineer, approved as to form by the city attorney, executed by the subdivider and the issue of the improvement securities, and transmitted to the council for its consideration. If approved by the council, the mayor shall execute the agreement on behalf of the city.

In consideration of a subdivision improvement agreement extension, the following may be required:

1. The revision of improvement plans to provide for current design and construction standards when required by the city engineer;

2. Revised improvement construction estimates to reflect current improvement costs as approved by the city engineer;

3. The increase of improvement securities in accordance with revised construction estimates; and

4. Inspection fees may be increased to reflect current construction costs but shall not be subject to any decrease or refund.

The council may impose additional requirements as recommended by the city engineer or as it may deem necessary as a condition to approving any time extension for the completion of improvements. The costs incurred by the city in processing the agreement shall be borne by the subdivider at actual cost.
