Subject: Adopt Resolution No. 2022-14, Performing the Biennial Review of the City of Hughson’s Conflict of Interest Code Enclosures: Exhibit “A” Conflict of Interest Code
Presented By: Ashton Gose, Management Analyst
Approved By: ______________________________
City Manager
Staff Recommendation:

Adopt Resolution No. 2022-14, accepting the City of Hughson’s Conflict of Interest Code.

Background and Overview:

The Political Reform Act (Government Code Sections 81000-91014) requires every local governmental agency to review its Conflict of Interest Code biennially. A notice must be submitted to the reviewing body indicating whether or not an amendment is necessary. The code reviewing body for the City of Hughson is the City Council. The Political Reform Act requires governmental officials and certain employees to publicly disclose their personal assets and income. They are also restricted from participating in decisions which may affect their personal economic interests. The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) is the state agency responsible for issuing the State of Economic Interest, Form 700, and for interpreting the law’s provisions. The Form 700 is the document those subject to the Conflict of Interest Code are required to fill out annually and identify their financial interests.

Persons holding the position of Mayor, City Councilmember, Planning Commissioner, City Manager, City Attorney, and City Treasurer are required to annually file a Form 700 pursuant to Government Code §87200 directly with the FPPC. In addition, local government agencies must adopt a local Conflict of Interest Code (Code). This Code must designate positions that make or participate in the making of decisions which may foreseeably have a material effect on any financial interest. The Code must be reviewed biennially to determine if amendments are required.

The Hughson City Council last amended the Conflict of Interest Code on April 27, 2020 with the adoption of Resolution No. 2020-17. City staff recommends CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 3.4
SECTION 3: CONSENT CALENDAR
performing the biennial review of the City of Hughson’s Conflict of Interest Code, and reporting that the Conflict of Interest Code is not in need of amendment. The City’s Deputy City Clerk is responsible for ensuring the proper annual filing of the Form 700 by appropriate City officials as required and per the specified deadline.

There is no fiscal impact to the City associated with approval of this item.

Subject: Approval to Adopt Resolution No. 2022-15, Supporting the Approval of the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Action Plan
(AAP)
Presented By: Rachel Wyse, Community Development Director Approved By: _________________________
City Manager
Staff Recommendation:

Adopt Resolution No. 2022-15, supporting the approval of the Fiscal Year 2022- 2023 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Action Plan (AAP).

Background:

In 2002, Stanislaus County was designated an Urban County by the Federal Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) and receives an annual allocation to be shared among Stanislaus County and the cities of Ceres, Hughson, Newman, Oakdale, Patterson, Riverbank and Waterford. With this designation, Stanislaus County qualifies as an “entitlement” jurisdiction which means that the County receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from HUD without participating in the competitive application process. The County together with these cities form what is known as the Stanislaus County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Consortium (hereafter referred to as the Urban County).

Discussion:

During Fiscal Year 2022-2023, Stanislaus Urban County (hereinafter Urban County) expects to receive $2,469,380 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program funding and $212,662 in ESG funding. The CDBG funds and the ESG funds are to be used on the following activities.
• Infrastructure Improvements
• Economic Development Programs
• Affordable Housing
• Fair Housing Services
• Public Services
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 3.5
SECTION 3: CONSENT CALENDAR
• Homeless Shelter Services
• Homeless Prevention
• Homeless Services Data Collection
Hughson’s estimated CDBG allocation is approximately $175,673 which includes $16,842 for administration costs. Staff recommends use of those funds for the completion of the Walker Lane Improvement Project. Prior to the epidemic, the Walker Lane Improvement Project was slated to complete design work in Fiscal Year 2019-2020 and begin construction in Fiscal Year 2020-2021. The project was delayed for environmental compliance and a new income survey and is expected to begin construction in 2022-2023. This project and the annual CDBG fund allocation was previously approved by City Council for fiscal years 2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2021-2022 and will result in the installation of curb, gutter, sidewalk, ADA compliant pedestrian improvements, and roadway resurfacing on Walker Lane between 2nd Street and Tully Road. CDBG funding will cover environmental, design, construction, and inspection of improvements.

The 2022-2023 Walker Lane Improvement Project will build upon the 2nd Street Sidewalk Infill Project that was started in the 2017-2018 Fiscal Year and completed in the 2018-2019 Fiscal Year. This project installed curb, gutter and sidewalk and pedestrian improvements on 2nd Street between Fox Road and Walker Lane. The 2022-2023 project goal is to complete the public improvements on Walker Lane between 2nd Street and Tully Road. Both projects are part of a multi-year effort to complete sidewalks and improve connectivity, mobility, and access for pedestrians.

Because the Walker Lane Improvement Project has been the CDBG project for the last three years, four community meetings for the purpose of gathering public comment were held on March 15, 2019, April 13, 2020, May 10, 2021, and March 29, 2022. No public comments were received.

Environmental Review:

This project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines. This project is not exempt from the National Environmental Protection Act because CDBG funds are federally sourced.

As such, all NEPA requirements shall be met prior to any land disturbance and/or construction associated with this project.

Fiscal Impact:

City staff, in coordination with the Contract City Engineer, Willdan Engineering, will complete the required environmental review. The City currently has $738,988 in CDBG monies available as of Fiscal Year 2021-2022 and is estimating to receive an additional $192,515 in Fiscal Year 2022-2023. The estimated cost for the construction of this project is approximately $305,814. Available CDBG funding will be adequate to complete the phases of the project. Any remaining funds will be allocated to secondary projects identified as part of the Consolidated Plan. Staff will continue to look for other funding sources to be able to complete construction of all projects identified to improve safety and the quality of life for the residents of Hughson.

As funding becomes available the City of Hughson will work within the CDBG income eligible areas of the City as indicated in the CP for additional projects that will be reported in future Annual Action Plans.

Subject: Approval of the Request by the Hughson Family Resource Center to Waive Fees, Associated with the Use of the
United Samaritan Foundation Community Center, Located
at 2413 3rd Street, Hughson and Authorization for the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with the Hughson
Family Resource Center
Enclosure: Letter Requesting Waiver of Fees at the United Samaritan Foundation Community Center and the Senior Community
Center
Presented By: Merry Mayhew
Approved By: ________________________
City Manager
Staff Recommendations:

1. Approve the request by the Hughson Family Resource Center to waive fees associated with the use of the United Samaritan Foundation Community Center, located at 2413 3rd Street, in Hughson, for the purpose of holding educational workshops during the weekdays, through December 2022, if the facility is not already booked for use.

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute an Agreement with the Hughson Family Resource Center outlining the terms of the waiver, inclusive of any final edits by the City Attorney.

Background and Discussion:

On July 27, 2020, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2020-41 establishing updated rules, regulations, and fees for the United Samaritan Foundation Community Center (USFCC) located at 2413 3rd Street in Hughson. The new fees went into effect on August 1, 2020.

The purpose of the USFCC is to provide the Hughson Community a centralized location for educational enrichment, community development, community service, CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 3.6
SECTION 3: CONSENT CALENDAR
2 learning and prevention programs, community awareness activities, family development programs, and civic or business-related activities.

The updated fees were introduced as the USFCC was operating in the negative for several years and funds were not available to assist in maintaining the building. The current cost for Hughson residents to rent the facility for meetings during the weekdays (Monday through Friday) is $25 for a four-hour block. A $500 damage deposit is required, and a cleaning fee would be required for events where cleaning needs to take place.

Recently, the City received a request from the Hughson Family Resource Center to use both the USFCC 3rd Street Conference Facility and the Senior Community Center at no charge due to restarting educational classes, trainings, workshops, parenting classes and fall and winter events. The Family Resource Center has outgrown their current location and is unable to accommodate the larger groups.

The additional space in the USFCC would allow for larger groups.

The important mission of the Family Resource Centers is to “strengthen families and communities by transforming lives!” As these services are necessary to a healthy, thriving community, City staff recommend that the City Council approve waiving the fees, damage deposit, and cleaning fees for the use of the USFCC, for the purpose of the Hughson Family Resource Center holding educational workshops during the weekdays, if the facility is not already booked for use. City staff are recommending approval of the waiver through December 2022, to allow the Family Resource Center time to locate larger facilities for their needs.

The use of the Senior Community Center and waiver of fees is not recommended as the Seniors hold daily meals at the site and it is important to the community to not displace the Senior Meals Program. In addition, COVID testing and vaccines have been given priority use of the Senior Community Center to make these easily accessible to the residents of Hughson. The Senior Community Center has hosted many large events and the fees help support the maintenance and operations cost of the Senior Community Center to keep it available for the Senior activities.

If approved, the City will provide the Family Resource Center with an agreement outlining the terms of the use and waiver of fees for the USFCC facility.

Fiscal Impact:

The fiscal impact to the City of Hughson associated with approval of this item is unknown at this time. The facility is being used more often since the County Community Services Agency is not renting the offices. However, the loss in revenue is minimal when considering the community services provided by the Family Resource Center.

To whom it may concern:

The Hughson Family Resource Center is located in the rural agriculture community of Hughson and serves southeast Stanislaus County, a 265 square mile area. The Center serves eight communities, including Hughson, Denair, Empire, Gratton, Hickman, LaGrange, Roberts Ferry, and Waterford. The Hughson Family Resource Center’s mission is to provide and coordinate resources and services through partnerships that enhance the health, education, and well-being of the communities we serve.

Hughson family resource center provides parenting education classes, pregnancy education for pregnant women, children’s social skills, and adult and children’s literacy services. Mental health services such as a support group and individual counseling. Family support and linkage to other community organizations is also provided.

During COVID, our programs have grown tremendously, and our Center has outgrown our space for large groups. We are asking for your support with waiving the 3rd st and senior Center fees to utilize the halls for our large events throughout the year. Having these spaces available will allow the Center to serve more participants in the community with a broader reach. The Center is looking to host events open to the community, such as trainings, workshops, parenting classes, and fall and winter events dates are to be determined and based on the availability of the halls.

We are also asking if the damage deposit and cleaning fee can be waived. Staff are committed to cleaning up, taking the garbage out, and putting the room back in place. Sierra Vista understands and is capable of providing an insurance liability.

Our most profound appreciation in advance for your consideration of this request, and if you need further information, contact me at Mayra L. Aguilar (209) 883-2027 or [email protected].
