SUBJECT: Approval of Project List for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 Funded by SB1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (JA)
RECOMMENDATION: Council by motion adopt resolution approving project list for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 funded by SB1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Senate Bill 1 (SB1), known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, was signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation and critical safety needs on both the state highway, local streets and road systems.

To receive funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act (RMRA), the City is required to submit to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) a list of projects proposed to be funded, pursuant to an adopted resolution by the City Council at a regular public meeting.

Based on Maintenance of Effort (MOE) established in Streets and Highways Code Section 2036, an annual match of $20,200 (minimum) from the City's discretionary spending fund is required.

The purchase and installation of the Solar Light Poles Project on the East side has been designated for the use of the MOE for Fiscal Years 2019/2020 through FY 2024/2025 and installation of these lights will be done in FY 2025/2026.

The Street Rehabilitation Project will continue into FY 2025/2026. The total project cost for this FY is $1,355,700. Funds from both SB1 and Article VIII will be used to fund this project.

Annually in December, the City must submit a completed and an in-progress project report. If this report is not submitted, the RMRA funds will be forfeited.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City of Kerman projects to receive a total of $451,205 from SB1 RMRA Funds in Fiscal Year 2025/2026, according to the State Department of Finance statewide revenue projection. Fund reserves or Local Transportation Funds (LTF) will fund this project, if needed.

The City’s Landscaping and Lighting District (LLD) No. 1 maintains public landscaping in median islands and landscape strips along major streets. The revenue from the LLD also pays for street lighting costs for areas within it. All new developments are annexed into the LLD and charged an annual assessment that is collected with property taxes. There are currently 14 sub-areas within the LLD.

The City Council initiated the process for annexation of Tract 6447 into LLD No. 1 on June 11, 2025. Approval of the proposed Resolution will conclude the process by annexing the lots of a new residential subdivision into LLD No. 1 being developed by Joseph Crown Construction & Development, Inc. (“Applicant”) and setting a levy at $377.59 per lot.

The Applicant is currently seeking to develop a 163-lot subdivision located on the north side of Kearney Boulevard, approximately 1,000 feet west of Siskiyou Avenue. The Applicant is in the process of submitting a final map for Tract 6447, for approval by the City Council, which will be considered as a separate Agenda item at a future meeting. A condition of approval for Tract 6447 requires that Applicant request annexation to the City‘s LLD. Consistent with that requirement, the Applicant has submitted a petition and waiver to the City, requesting annexation into LLD No. 1 and agreeing to the initial assessment of $377.59 per lot for the fiscal year. Thereafter, the property would be subject to the annual levy amounts approved by Council for LLD No. 1 for each fiscal year.

The Applicant has also (i) waived certain resolutions, report, notices of hearing, and right of majority protest, and consented to a public hearing and adoption of a resolution by the City Council ordering annexation and levy of the Property; and (ii) expressly waived any requirement to have a ballot and majority protest proceeding per Government Code Section 53753 or as may be permitted by the Act. As a result of this waiver, the annexation process can be expedited 49 Section 6, Item A.
as no report by the City Engineer is required to be prepared, nor is a ballot and majority protest required.

The attached Resolution finds that there is no majority protest by the Applicant, annexes the property into Area 15, of LLD No. 1, and sets the levy at $377.59 per lot for the current fiscal year. Going forward, the annexed property will be subject to the annual levy approved by the City Council every year for all property within LLD No. 1, Area 15.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Each lot that is annexed will pay the assessment rate of $377.59 per lot. Thereafter, the City Council will approve assessment amounts for Area 15 of the LLD No. 1, which may be adjusted to reflect increases based on the consumer price index.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 25, 2025
PRESENTER: Steve Wilkins, Police Chief
SUBJECT: Annual Agreement with the Kerman Unified School District for School Resource Officers (SW)
RECOMMENDATION: Council by motion adopt resolution approving agreement with Kerman Unified School District for School Resource Officers for FY 2025-2026.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City of Kerman has entered annual agreements with the Kerman Unified School District to provide School Resource Officer support to the district campuses. Under the annual agreement, Kerman Police personnel respond to requests for law enforcement- related services to district properties. These services are provided 24 hours a day, each day of the year. However, the City provides a specific presence of School Resource Officers during normal school hours and events and the District reimburses the City for the costs associated with providing police services.

DISCUSSION:

Historically, the Kerman Police Department has provided a police response to law enforcement related incidents at KUSD properties. The District has been paying to reimburse the cost of police services for two full-time police officers and will continue to do under the proposed agreement.

The District and the City may agree by mutual written agreement to increase the number of fulltime police officers to three for fiscal year 2025-2026. The City benefits from the additional workforce optionsthese officers provide and utilizesthe officersfor non-school related functions during times when school is not in session. Additionally, having officers dedicated to KUSD, reduces the workload on the police department as without them, the responsibility for calls for service on KUSD properties would fall to the patrol officers patrolling the city.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City and The District have reviewed the costs of School Resource Officers to include salaries, benefits, and equipment.

The District agrees to pay City a total of $265,751 for the two SRO’s to provide specialized police services to the District. Payment will be made in two installments of $132,875.50 to be paid upon being invoiced by the City of Kerman in September 2025 and January 2026. Payments will be made no later than 30 days from the invoice date. The fees paid will be used by the City to cover the cost of the salary, benefits, and equipment needed to perform duties of the SRO’s.

With certain exceptions, the investigation and questioning of students during school hours or at school events should be limited to situations where the investigation is related to the school. Investigations and questioning of students for offenses not related to the operation of or occurring at the school would occur in such situations where, for example, delay might result in danger to any person, flee ·from the jurisdiction by the person suspected of a crime or destruction of evidence. All criminal and non-criminal contact with a student or faculty member during school hours by any investigating officers should be coordinated through the SRO.

B. The SRO shall provide information to the appropriate investigative sections of any crimes or leads that come to the attention of the SRO. The SRO should be kept advised of all investigations that involve students from his/her assigned school.

C. The school principal will be notified as soon as practical of any significant enforcement actions taken by an SRO or investigating officer(s).

F. Unless there is a health or safety emergency requiring disclosure of information contained within student records, the information obtained by an SRO from a student's records may not be shared with other law enforcement agencies or personnel. For this reason, circumstances where the SRO is provided access to student records should be limited and only when there is a legitimate educational interest in providing such access, or, an emergency situation exists.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 25, 2025
PRESENTER: Jerry Jones, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Presentation and Discussion on City Pedestrian Trails (JJ) RECOMMENDATION: City Council receive presentation, discuss, and provide any comments as desired.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City of Kerman has always placed an emphasis on having a complete bicycle and pedestrian network within the City. This is reflected in the goals, policies, and implementation measures established in the City’s 2040 General Plan Circulation Element, Section 4.5 “Alternative Transportation”. The overall goal for alternative transportation as listed in the General Plan is CIRC-5, “To promote bicycling, walking, and using public transit, as functional alternatives to single-passenger automobile travel”. In accordance with this goal, the City has constructed a sidewalk network for pedestrian use that has minimal gaps, allowing residents to easily commute to and from all areas within the City. In addition, the City has created a network of bicycle lanes and signed bike routes (when space is not available to provide full bicycle lanes) along primary travel routes within the City.

The City has also included a proposed trail network in the General Plan and has constructed, required the construction of, and planned the construction of, trail segments when opportunities become available. These opportunities typically consist of City owned properties (areas to small for any other use, vacated rights-of-way, easements, etc.), abandoned railroad rights-of-way, Fresno Irrigation District canal and pipeline easements, and other utility easements. Recently, the Planning Commission and City Council have expressed a desire to have further discussion about policies and requirements for the inclusion of trails within new developments. This report is being presented to provide background information to aid in any desired discussion and possible direction to Staff.

The report was presented to Planning Commission on June 9, 2025. Planning Commission provided a few comments during the presentation, summarized below, but did not provide any formal recommendations to City Council regarding the City’s policies and requirements for new trails.

1. Kearney Trail: It would be desirable to have a trail along Kearney Boulevard to connect to Kearney Park, similar to existing trail east of Kearney Park. 78 Section 7, Item C.

2. Protection from Roadway: For trail segments constructed immediately adjacent to roadways, it would be good to have a decorative fence at the back of the curb to keep children from wandering into the roadway.

3. Electric Bikes: Electric bikes, including electric scooters, skateboards, etc. should be regulated on trails.

4. Trail Network: Trails should be purposefully planned to connect future parks, schools, recreation centers, etc.

BACKGROUND:
2040 General Plan
As discussed above, the City’s 2040 General Plan includes a Circulation Element, as required by law. As part of the Circulation Element, the Active Transportation section discusses the City’s goals and policies to promote bicycle and pedestrian facilities within the City. Although there are no specific goals or policies related to the construction of trails, Figure 4-4 (Attachment ‘A’) shows the location of existing (at the time of the preparation of the General Plan) and proposed Class I Bikeways (Bike Paths), which can be considered trails. The primary trail shown is a loop around the City, with the backbone of the concept first started by the fact that there is a Fresno Irrigation District (FID) canal and pipeline (Houghton Canal) along Nielsen Avenue that will provide an opportunity for the construction of a trail. The general segments of the trail loop are as follows.

1. Modoc Avenue – From California Avenue to Nielsen Avenue

2. Nielsen Avenue – From Modoc Avenue to Sycamore Avenue

3. Sycamore Avenue – From Nielsen Avenue to the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR)

4. North side of the UPRR – From Sycamore Avenue to Goldenrod Avenue

5. California Avenue – From Goldenrod Avenue to Modoc Avenue (further discussed below)
The last segment (#4 above) may be open for reconsideration as the City has acquired property on the south side of the UPRR from Hart Ranch Park to Howard Avenue for a future trail. It may be more appropriate for the east segment of the proposed trail loop to go from the terminus of the trail from Hart Ranch Park at Howard Avenue, north along Howard to Nielsen Avenue.

Since the City’s developed limits are not close to Sycamore Avenue, and Howard Avenue for that matter, this is a topic that can be discussed in the future.

Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR)/California Avenue Bicycle and Pedestrian Route Master Plan In 2015, the Planning Commission recommended, and City Council approved Resolution No. 15-04 which approved the Union Pacific Railroad/California Avenue Bicycle and Pedestrian Route Master Plan. The Master Plan, included as Attachment ‘B’, provides for a bicycle and pedestrian route along the UPRR and California Avenue, from Siskiyou Avenue to Goldenrod Avenue. The goal of the Master Plan is to link the future westside park (City owned 40 acres at Siskiyou Avenue south of the UPRR) and the eastside park (now known as Hart Ranch Park), with Plaza Park and City Hall located at the midpoint of the route. Although, there is not sufficient space for a traditional trail within the developed portion of the City along this route, it is considered a logical route for a mix of quasi trail configurations. This was also driven by 79 Section 7, Item C.

State and Federal funds available to the City for such purposes, which would have been lost without implementation of construction projects for segments of this route. The route includes the following segments.

1. UPRR Trail – Siskiyou Avenue to Park Avenue; Traditional trail along the UPRR consisting of a 10-foot wide paved trail and landscaping; Completed

2. Bike Lane and Sidewalk – Park Avenue to Del Norte Avenue; Completed

3. California Avenue Shared Use Sidewalk (Trail) – Del Norte Avenue to Madera Avenue; 10-foot wide sidewalk, signed as “Shared Sidewalk, Bikes Yield”; Completed

4. California Avenue Shared Use Sidewalk (Trail) – Madera Avenue to UPRR; 10-foot wide sidewalk, signed as “Shared Sidewalk, Bikes Yield”; Portion in progress

5. UPRR Trail – UPRR to Goldenrod Avenue (Hart Ranch Park); Along south side of UPRR; Traditional trail consisting of a 10-foot wide paved trail and landscaping; Planned, contingent on acquisition of land from UPRR
As listed in the 2040 General Plan Discussion above, this Master Plan route is intended to “close the loop” for the trail loop included in Figure 4-4 of the General Plan.

Existing and Approved Trail Segments
The location of existing and approved trail segments are shown on Attachment ‘C’. In addition, Figures 1 through 3 below provide photos of the existing trail segments shown on Attachment ‘C’. The sole approved, not yet constructed, trail segment shown is a part of the recently approved Del Norte Estates Subdivision, which is currently going through the final map and improvement plan review process.

Benefits and Challenges
For the purposes of discussion and possible direction regarding policies and requirements for the construction of trails with new developments, Table 1 below provides some benefits and challenges associated with the requirement and construction of new trails. 81 Section 7, Item C.

Table 1. Benefits and Challenges
Benefits Challenges
 Space for exercise and recreation  Maintenance and repair costs (landscaping)
 Space for neighbor/community
interactions
 Preventative maintenance and
rehabilitation costs (sealing and
repaving) or repair costs if concrete
or other surface
 Improve the aesthetic of
neighborhoods and/or underutilized
areas
 Opportunity for criminal activity (out
of sight) and increased police
patrolling costs
 Landscaping provides urban greening
and reduction in “heat island” effect
 Opportunity for homeless activity
and costs associated with abatement
 Air quality improvement (from tree
planting)
 Impact on new development;
Decrease in lot yield (land used for
trails reduces land available for lots)
 Reduction in vehicle trips (minimal
reduction if only located in
neighborhoods)
 Impact on new development;
Development may not “pencil out”
based on added construction costs;
Construction costs likely will be
passed on to the homebuyer
FISCAL IMPACT:

None.
