PRESENTER: Josefina Alvarez, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Approval of Project List for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Funded by SB1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (JA)
RECOMMENDATION: Council by motion adopt resolution approving project list for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 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 2025/2026 and installation of these lights will be done in FY 2026/2027.

The Street Rehabilitation Project will continue into FY 2026/2027. The total project cost for this FY is $1,200,000. Funds from both SB1 and Local Transportation Funds 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 $492,006 from SB1 RMRA Funds in Fiscal Year 2026/2027, according to the State Department of Finance statewide revenue projection. Fund reserves or Local Transportation Funds (LTF) will fund this project, if needed.

RECOMMENDATION: Council adopt a resolution approving participation In Fresno County’s Joint Powers Agreement for Fresno’s Urban County Program for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Entitlement Funding for Federal Grant Years 2027, 2028, and 2029.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Kerman has participated in a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) with the County of Fresno and other cities for Urban County Entitlement Status with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in order to receive entitlement grant funds under the Federal CDBG and related Home Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) programs since its inception in Fresno County.

Every three years, the County of Fresno and its partner cities must requalify, with each city approving a resolution (Attachment ‘A’) notifying the County of the City’s official decision to participate in the County’s program.

In the past, the CDBG program has funded sewer and storm line improvements, California Avenue drainage, ADA improvements, curb and sidewalk projects, partial funding for the Community/Teen Center, Katey’s Kids Park, Trini’s Park and Veterans Park improvements.

Potential future projects include housing, public works infrastructure, public facilities, public service programs, and the HOME program that meet CDBG eligibility criteria and serve CDBG eligible neighborhoods and communities.

Once the City commits to continuing as a partner in the JPA, a new agreement will be prepared by the County in substantially the same form as written in Exhibit ‘A’ for execution by the City Manager.
35 Section 5, Item F.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City can expect to be eligible to receive approximately $150,000 per year from the CDBG Program, and the City is possibly eligible for additional funds from HOME and ESG in an undetermined amount.

30 substandard housing to the County’s rehabilitation program, if any such program is in operation.

H. Shall collaborate and share information with the COUNTY on land use applications, entitlement applications, and building inspections for projects which are utilizing COUNTY-administered CDBG, HOME, or ESG funding. This includes ensuring enforcement of applicable regulations governing the use of specific funding sources prior to issuing a building permit.

I. Shall consider in subsequent years whether to add a portion of CITYallocated CDBG funds to support owner-occupied housing rehabilitation activities carried out by the COUNTY.

J. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting, in any manner, the powers of any of the respective parties to initiate and complete a local activity within their respective jurisdiction with their own funds.

VI. ALLOCATION OF HOME FUNDING
A. The COUNTY agrees to make HOME funds available for eligible activities (including housing development and multifamily housing preservation) within the jurisdiction of the unincorporated area of the COUNTY and the CITIES through its Department of Public Works and Planning Community Development Division.

B. HOME funds will be provided pursuant to the terms of the COUNTY’s annual Notice of Funding Opportunity, consistent with the 2025-29 Consolidated Plan, and the County’s Citizen Participation Plan.

C. The authority to approve HOME funds for eligible housing developers, entities, and agencies for eligible activities shall rest with the COUNTY’s Board of Supervisors.

B. CITIES will be invited to designate a portion of their CDBG funding for owner-occupied housing rehabilitation efforts administered by the County.

C. The COUNTY may, but bears no obligation to, utilize COUNTYadministered CDBG funds for the benefit of low-income owners residing in CITIES.

VIII. COORDINATION OF INSPECTIONS AND REPORTS FOR STATE HOUSING FUNDS
A. The parties acknowledge that coordination on State funding for affordable housing (such as the Permanent Local Housing Allocation) is not material to the federal Urban County requirements or HUD obligations. However, as an independent mutual benefit of this Agreement, the COUNTY agrees to inform CITY when it reserves funding it administers for an affordable housing project within CITY limits; and the CITY agrees to facilitate coordination of inspections, reports, and assurances for affordable housing projects funded by the COUNTY within the CITY’s jurisdiction.

IX. ALLOCATION OF ESG FUNDING
B. The COUNTY shall administer an ESG program for homeless services and other eligible activities through its Department of Social Services in partnership with the Fresno-Madera Continuum of Care (FMCOC).

C. In accordance with applicable Federal law supporting services based on recipients’ relative needs, the COUNTY may use its ESG funds for the residents of the entire COUNTY. To the extent possible, the COUNTY shall prioritize ESG services for residents of the CITIES and unincorporated areas of the COUNTY, though service points may be centrally located (i.e. within the City of Fresno) and outside the URBAN COUNTY PROGRAM jurisdiction.

D. As the COUNTY and FMCOC align priorities and leverage funding by jointly coordinating homeless services, CITIES participating in the URBAN COUNTY PROGRAM do not receive individual allocations of ESG funds. 46 Section 5, Item F.

30 X. ALLOCATION OF CDBG FUNDING TO CITIES
A. The allocation of new incoming Federal funds for annual expenditures on CDBG activities shall be made in accordance with Exhibit B “CDBG Funding Distribution.” This distribution follows the mathematical methodology used by HUD in its Formula A calculations described in the HUD publication, “CDBG Formula Targeting to Community Development Need” (February 1, 2005) and which is currently accessible for viewing at the weblink:
https://www.huduser.gov/portal/publications/commdevl/cdbgAssess.html .

B. It is understood and agreed that any proposed CDBG expenditure is subject to the condition that a different distribution of funds may occur at the COUNTY’s discretion when made necessary to comply with the ACT, including but not limited to expenditure requirements.

C. If a CITY’s CDBG funds are advanced to one or more other participating CITIES in order to accelerate expenditures, including but not limited to meet requirements for timeliness of expenditures, the CITY advancing funds shall be reimbursed by the recipient of those funds with the recipient’s next program year allocation(s).

D. Any CDBG funds remaining available to any CITY and not allocated during the term of this Agreement to an activity upon which substantial progress is being made, will no longer be available to that CITY should that CITY not enter into the next succeeding Joint Powers Agreement. Such CDBG funds shall be distributed to the COUNTY and the thenparticipating CITIES of that Joint Powers Agreement, based upon the formula established by the ACT.

XI. CITIES AS SUBRECIPIENTS OF CDBG FUNDS
A. Each CITY, pursuant to 24 CFR 570.501(b), is considered a subrecipient of CDBG funds, and is subject to the requirements for subrecipients. Before disbursing CDBG funds to a subrecipient, the COUNTY shall prepare a written Agreement in accordance with Federal regulations (as described in 24 CFR 570.503), and execute such Agreement with the subrecipient. The Agreement shall remain in effect during any period that the subrecipient has use of CDBG funds, including program income.

A. Each CITY agrees to develop and complete eligible program activities in a timely manner so that the URBAN COUNTY PROGRAM will comply with Federal expenditure requirements. Time is of the essence in completing these activities.

B. Each CITY agrees to submit application(s) for eligible CDBG activities no later than July 31st prior to the start of each program year. Should a CITY not submit an application for an eligible activity by the July 31st date, and/or make substantial progress toward completion of an eligible activity during the program year in which the funds are allocated, upon mutual agreement by the staff of all the parties, the COUNTY shall redistribute funds to other participating CITIES with an eligible activity ready to commence.

C. Each CITY in formulating its annual application to expend CITY-allocated CDBG funds shall conduct at least one annual public meeting to provide its residents an opportunity to participate in the recommendation of activities for the CDBG program. Such meetings shall be conducted whenever a participating CITY intends to seek approval for an activity to be funded with CDBG funds. If a CITY intends to continue with a multi-year activity that was approved as a multi-year activity during a prior year, then this public meeting requirement may be waived. Each of the participating CITIES shall provide reasonable notice to its residents of said meetings and shall make efforts to disseminate information to the public concerning a particular activity.

D. If a CITY, due to unforeseen and uncontrollable circumstances, cannot comply with the time schedule within an executed project agreement, the schedule for the activity may be extended by the COUNTY. If an extension is granted, the CITY shall take all appropriate measures to ensure the adjusted timeline is met.

E. Determination regarding substantial progress towards goals and spending shall be made by the COUNTY in its sole discretion.

XIII. CITY REIMBURSEMENT OF CDBG FUNDS DUE TO AUDIT FINDING OR

CANCELLATION

B. If a CITY, for any reason, cancels a program activity without completion, fails to perform to the terms of their subrecipient agreement, or the project fails to meet a national CDBG objective, the CITY shall reimburse to the COUNTY the amount of all CDBG funds provided to the CITY for the activity. The reimbursed amount of funds shall be credited back to the CITY’s allocation of CDBG funds.

XIV. CDBG PROGRAM INCOME
A. CDBG Program Income shall not be factored into the CDBG Allocation formula; however, consistent with the ACT, the COUNTY may retain 20% of all CITY-generated program income received for COUNTY’s administrative purposes.

B. The reporting obligation of the CITIES pursuant to the ACT shall include the following (as may be amended by HUD from time to time):

1. A participating CITY must inform the COUNTY when any program income is generated by the expenditure of CDBG funds.

2. In the event of close-out of the CDBG program or a change in status of a participating CITY, each participating CITY must inform the COUNTY of any CDBG generated program income received, regardless of whether the income was received before or after the close-out or change in status.

3. Any program income generated by a CITY CDBG-funded activity must be paid to the COUNTY. The COUNTY shall credit the amount to that CITY’S CDBG allocation in August of the fiscal year following when program income was accrued for use on subsequent CITY CDBG-eligible activities in accordance with Federal requirements; provided that the CITY is participating in the URBAN COUNTY PROGRAM at the time the program income is generated.

4. If the CITY is not participating in the URBAN COUNTY PROGRAM at the time the program income is generated, the COUNTY is not obligated to 49 Section 5, Item F.

5. CDBG program income will be made available to a CITY either upon receipt by the COUNTY, or not later than the subsequent program year.

XV. REAL PROPERTY ACQUIRED OR IMPROVED WITH CDBG FUNDS
A. The following requirements shall continue in effect for five years after the Project is completed in HUD’s Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS):

1. Each participating CITY must obtain prior written approval from the COUNTY before making any modification or change in the use of any real property improved, in whole or in part, using CDBG funds in excess of $25,000.

2. The CITY shall provide affected citizens with notice of, and opportunity to comment on, any proposed change to the use of real property improved with CDBG funds.

3. If any real property improved with CDBG funds is sold and/or is utilized by the CITY for a use which does not qualify under the CDBG requirements, the CITY shall reimburse the COUNTY in an amount equal to the current fair market value for the property, less any proportional share thereof attributable to expenditures of non-CDBG funds.

B. It is therefore understood and agreed that pursuant to the ACT:

1. In the event the CDBG program is closed-out, or there is a change in status of the cooperation agreement between the COUNTY and participating CITY, the requirements of this Section shall remain in effect for activities funded with CDBG funds, unless action is taken by the Federal government to relieve the COUNTY and the participating CITIES of these obligations.

2. If a CITY is required to repay the COUNTY for reasons described in this Section of the Agreement, the COUNTY shall make the repaid funds available to that CITY for eligible CDBG activities in accordance with Federal requirements; provided that the CITY is participating in the URBAN COUNTY PROGRAM at the time of the reimbursement.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 24, 2026
PRESENTER: Jesus A. Gonzalez, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Resolution of Intention to Levy and Collect the Annual Assessments for Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 (JG)
RECOMMENDATION: Council by motion adopt resolution of intention to levy and collect the annual assessments for Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 and set the date for the required public hearing for July 8, 2026.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Landscape and Lighting District (LLD) No. 1 maintains public landscaping in median islands and landscape strips along major streets. The revenue from the district also pays for street lighting costs for areas within the LLD. All new developments are annexed into the LLD and charged an annual assessment that is collected with property taxes. There are currently 16 subareas within the LLD including Tract Nos. 6447 and 6430 annexed to the Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 this past year. The final map for Tract No. 6430 (sub-area 16) has not yet been recorded and therefore is not being levied in fiscal year 2026-27.

This is the second of three actions by Council required by State law for the levy of the annual assessments. Council previously initiated proceedings for the annual levy of assessments at the June 10, 2026 Council Meeting. The City Engineer has prepared a preliminary report labeled Engineer’s Report of the City of Kerman Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1 (LLD), dated June 2026, and filed the report with the City Clerk. The report includes descriptions of the improvements maintained, boundaries of the district and sub-areas, and proposed assessments per parcel. The final report will be submitted for approval at the time of the public hearing. The next, and final, action required by Council will be to conduct the required public hearing, receive any testimony, and confirm the annual assessments. The assessment roll is then submitted to the County Assessor for inclusion on the property owner’s tax bill.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The annual assessments from Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 are used for maintenance of public landscaping and lighting. The assessments for Sub-areas 1 through 5 were established prior to the passage of Proposition 218 and therefore cannot be raised without a vote of the property owners. The assessments for sub-areas 6 through 15 are adjusted annually by the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). For 2026, the CPI increase is 2.7%. The estimated total assessments for FY 26-27 are $510,191.70. The exact amount of total assessments will be known once the City receives the property roll from the Fresno County Assessor’s Office.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 24, 2026
PRESENTER: Steve Wilkins, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Annual Agreement with the Kerman Unified School District for School Resource Officers (SW)
RECOMMENDATION: Council by motion adopt resolution approving agreement with the Kerman Unified School District for School Resource Officers for FY 2026-2027.

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 full-time police officers to three for fiscal year 2026-2027. The City benefits from the additional workforce options these officers provide and utilizes the officers for 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 Officersto include salaries, benefits, and equipment.

The District agrees to pay City a total of $293,698 for the two SRO’s to provide specialized police services to the District. Payment will be made in two installments of $146,849, to be paid upon 82 Section 5, Item I.
being invoiced by the City of Kerman in September 2026 and January 2027. 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.

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).

D. The authority of School Resource Officers ("SRO") extends to all schools in California (Penal Code Section 830). SROs do not need permission to enter school grounds, and school officials must not hinder or resist SROs in carrying out their duties on school grounds (Penal Code Section 148).

E. The School District has designated SROs to be "school officials" who may have a legitimate educational interest in accessing student records. If such access is provided, the SRO must protect the privacy of the student records it receives and may only disclose the studentrecords, orthe information obtained fromthe studentsrecords,in compliance withstateand federal law.

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.

G. Access to student records by SROs should only be granted with the approval and supervision of a school administrator. Access shall be duly noted on the Access Log.

Student records should remain in the possession of the school administrator(s) at all times.

ARREST PROCEDURES
A. School Resource Officers are expected to be familiar with school rules and their application with the school. Routinely, rule infractions will not be handled as violations of law, but instead referred to the principal, or his agent, for action. Any questions related to the enforcement of rules versus laws within the school should be discussed with the principal.

B. The following procedures should be adhered to where arrests of students or staff become necessary: 92
Section 5, Item I.

1. The arrest of a student or school staff member with a warrant or petition should be coordinated through the SRO with prior notification to the principal and accomplished after school hours, when practical.

2. Arrests of students or school staff members during school hours or on school grounds shall be reported to the principal as soon aspractical.

3. Persons, whose presence on school grounds is in violation of the law, shall be investigated fortrespassing.

4. Discretion and good judgment by an SRO may determine alternative action other than arrest.

SEARCH AND SEIZURE
A. School officials may conduct searches of students' property or person under their jurisdiction when reasonable suspicion exists that the search will reveal evidence that the student has violated or is violating either the law or the rules of the school.

The standard for the search is reasonable suspicion.

B. The SRO shall not become involved in administrative (school related) searches unless specifically requested by the school to provide security, protection, or for handling of contraband. These searches must be at the direction and control of the school official. At no time shall the SRO request that an administrative search be conducted for law enforcement purposes or have the administrator act as his or her agent.

C. Any search by an officer shall be based upon probable cause and, when required, a search warrant should be obtained. Stop and frisk will remain an option when there is reasonable suspicion that a criminal act has been committed or may be committed, or that the suspect may be armed.

ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS
A. The SRO shall attend suspension and/or expulsion hearings upon the request of the school principal. The SRO shall be prepared to provide testimony on any actions that were taken by the officer and any personally observed conduct witnessed by the officer. Any evidencepresented atanyadministrativehearingby anSROisthe responsibilityoftheSRO.

B. The SRO shall not provide any official Police Department juvenile record to the school during an administrative hearing. As a general rule, release of such information is prohibited by law unless such documents are subpoenaed by the school through the appropriate court.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 24, 2026
PRESENTER: John Jansons, City Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of Street Naming Request In Recognition of Jay Gil (JAJ) RECOMMENDATION: Council consider the street naming request, determine whether to approve the request regarding part or all of Isabella Avenue, and provide direction to Staff on development of a Street Naming Policy.

BACKGROUND:

At the May 27, 2026, City Council meeting, Mayor Pacheco requested a future agenda item regarding a street naming request. Earlier that week, staff had learned of this request and recommended to Council that they be given the opportunity to prepare a memorandum explaining the request, its genesis, and potential options for the Council to consider,since other Councilmembers were not familiar with this matter. On May 29, 2026, staff distributed an extensive memo (Attachment ‘A’) detailing the origination of the request, street naming protocols, and considerations for the pending requests.

On June 10, 2026, Mayor Pacheco requested that this matter be placed on the Agenda for June 24, 2026 for Council consideration.

Currently, the City of Kerman has no street naming policy. The historical practice is that new streets in alignment with existing streets get extended with a continuation of the same name.

For new streets within a subdivision with no logical connectivity to existing streets, developers have been allowed to name, or submit names, of their choosing for approval by the City. That is why Kerman has streets named after the master developer’s or builder’s children, for example.

DISCUSSION:

In researching this matter, staff have learned that in 2024, Kerman Unified School District (KUSD) agreed to “support and not oppose” naming Isabella Ave, in whole or part, in honor of Jay Gil, an adjacent landowner who provided assistance to KUSD during the development of Harvest Elementary School, as included in Attachment ‘A’.

In the case of the current request, (see Attachment ‘B’ - Map) the section of street considered in honor of Mr. Gil is in existing alignment with Isabella Avenue, which is intended to run from west of Siskiyou on an east west route through Madera Ave (CA 145) and continue eastward to Goldenrod as properties develop.
94 Section 7, Item A.

It should be noted that if the entirety of Isabella Avenue was to be renamed, 14 existing homes at the western end would be affected by this change.

If only the portion of Isabella Avenue that runs from Madera Avenue (CA 145) to First Street were renamed, it would be adjacent to Harvest Elementary School and be responsive to the wishes of KUSD, reflecting Mr. Gil’s assistance, but it may cause continuity confusion with an east-west alignment changing names between north-south streets.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact is expected to be minimal for signage changes. If existing residential addresses are changed, then the fiscal impact is unknown.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Council approve naming part of Isabella Avenue for Jay Gil which means there will be a break in the name.

2. Council approve naming all of Isabella Avenue for Jay Gil which means that 14 residents on Isabella Avenue will be affected.

3. Council approve an honorary street sign below the Isabella Avenue sign. This type of honorary signage is used in many cities.

4. Approve Alternative 1, 2, or 3 and direct staff to return with a formal street naming policy for the future.

5. Reject the request.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 24, 2026
PRESENTER: John Jansons, City Manager
SUBJECT: 250-80 Anniversary Banner Project (JAJ)
RECOMMENDATION: Council adopt resolution approving the “250-80” Anniversary Banner Project.

DISCUSSION:
2026 marks two very special occasions this year in Kerman. The first is the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the United States of America. The second is the 80th Anniversary of the Incorporation of Kerman into cityhood.

Many cities and communities across the Country are hosting special events and celebrating the Semi-quincentennial in many ways. For example, Fresno has installed hundreds of American Flags throughout the City. In Kerman, ideas were expressed to develop an anniversary celebration with the Chamber of Commerce or host a separate event or conduct other activities to mark these special occasions. In 2021, Kerman celebrated its 75th Anniversary with a downtown event, promotional materials, and the placement of a time capsule. This year, the idea of double-sided streetlight banners celebrating both the Semi-quincentennial and the 80th anniversary of cityhood seems a colorful and low-cost way to celebrate this special year.

Exhibit ‘A’ to the Resolution (Attachment ‘A’) depicts the banners with the Semiquincentennial panel and the Kerman 80th anniversary panel.

The preferred installation locations are along CA Route 180 (Whitesbridge Road) and are subject to CAL-TRANS coordination and approval. Alternative prominent locations could include Kearney Blvd, Goldenrod, Vineland, Del Norte, or Siskiyou, which the City controls. No downtown or military banners would be displaced. The City would purchase the banners and mounting hardware, and installation would be performed by Public Works.

The Recreation Commission considered this project on June 16, 2026, and unanimously recommended approval by City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for the banner project would come from existing marketing/promotion funds and community benefit funds of approximately $22,000.
