PUBLIC HEARING-Competitive Housing Allocations for Residential Development for 2022- Staff Report Prepared by Community Development Director Holly Owen (Action only by the City Council)
Sponsor: Community Development Department
Open Public Hearing: Mayor North opened the public hearing at 6:12 p.m.

Community Development Director Holly Owen said we are here tonight to consider awarding housing allocations in 2022. In November 2004 growth management system was voted in by the people of Kingsburg allowing 115 allocations per year. On May 12th the Planning Commission held a public Kingsburg City Council, City of Kingsburg Public Financing Authority and Board of Directors of the Successor Agency of the Kingsburg Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting Minutes June 15, 2022
hearing and adopted resolution 2022 – 01 recommending housing allocations for two proposed projects (63 Lot Single Family Development (West Star Construction, applicant) and 51 Lot Single Family development (Bonadelle Homes, Inc., applicant)). Both projects are in the North Kingsburg Specific Plan area and the land that each project will be constructed will need to be annexed into the City of Kingsburg through the Fresno Lafco process.

Council Discussion: 6:15 p.m.

Mayor North said to the public, it may seem that the city is building a lot, but the Growth Management System is in effect. Some residents have concerns of being in a serious drought and adding more housing.

Community Development Director Owen said each project is put through environmental assessments and impacts to ensure we have enough water to sustain current and new housing developments. Council could decide for next year to not issue any allocations and can go throw the process.

OpenPublicComment: 6:23 p.m.

Jennifer Delinger, resident, asked if water pressure was a consideration in the environmental document process and how do we calculate when we will need another school.

City Engineer Peters said The Water Board requires water calculations for every subdivision and showing that ground supply can sustain them. The water pressure would have to do with the Public Works Department in adjusting some of the pumps.

Mayor North responded that we have empty classrooms in majority of our school. New affordable housing brings us more kids and welcome more students, more teachers, and more funding. Currently there is no issue needing another school.

Ordinance No. 2022-02, An Urgency Ordinance Of The City Council Of The City Of Kingsburg Temporarily Placing A Moratorium On The Issuance Of Land Use Entitlements And Permits Which Allow Professional Or Commercial Offices To Locate Within The Central Commercial District, Along Draper Street From Lincoln Street To California Street- Staff Report by Community Development Director Holly Owen
(Action only by the City Council)
Sponsor: Community Development Department
Community Development Director Holly Owen discussed that a large number of retail spaces in the downtown area along Draper Street which have been converted to commercial/business back-office space (as opposed to customer serving retail space). The recent sharp upturn in back-office uses have caused a noticeable shortage of on-street customer parking for existing customer serving retail businesses along Draper Street. The Urgency Ordinance is to place a moratorium on the issuance of land use entitlements and permits which allow professional or commercial offices to locate within the Central Commercial District, along Draper Street from Lincoln Street to California Street.

Public Comment:

Sherman Dix, resident and a building owner on Draper. Has an issue with the ordinance- most concerned it is an urgency – it should be a threat of health and safety. He is for encouraging as much retail to Draper including incentives. Opposed to the city limiting of the zoning. Quality foot traffic will assist retail. Expenses of converting older buildings in to restaurants is high. Asked why there hasn’t been collaboration with building owners. There is a recession on the horizon and this is the wrong process with good intentions. Discussed office vs retail. Mayor North asked what incentives would help bring in retail? Mr. Dix said incentives for tenants for particular types of businesses, like the City’s façade grants.

Jeanette Akers, resident, who presented this idea of moratorium? Mayor North said business owners have approached Council. Council Member Roman said planners that came in to town recommended it as did the Economic Development Commission. Ms. Akers asked what is the purpose of this ordinance if it came from people from out of town? Mayor North said business owners have approached Council, buildings come up and they are leased as office space. Ms. Akers said we need more events and venues.

Steve Safarjian, business owner, has been a Draper Street business for over 32 years as an office. He is also a building owner on Draper. The Economic Development Committee has been working on this for decades- a healthy downtown is a mix. Office space is in demand. The best interest is to stop and research. We can take a 45 day period to look at it to see if there is a solution.

Kingsburg City Council, City of Kingsburg Public Financing Authority and Board of Directors of the Successor Agency of the Kingsburg Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting Minutes June 15, 2022
Jolene Polyack, Economic Development Consultant and resident, this has been a directive since she has started. It is only 3 blocks on Draper. The reason is an east coast developer was going to locate 50 brokers on Draper. 45 day moratorium will allow for us to discuss the future of downtown.

Council Member Pursell Jr. asked about the retail and restaurants. Why are they not beating out the office spaces? Consultant Polyack said it is easier to rent for office space.

Leslie Carpenter, resident and a business owner and BID Board Member, said we formed the BID to promote retail and our city. I do understand property owners. Would love to have them come sit down and have a conversation. I do support this pause for one reason so we can gather all the tools and make the best decisions.

June Hess, resident and business owner, this town is now a destination town. We are unique and we need to keep our uniqueness.

Jennifer Delinger, resident, business owner, landlord of one block on Draper. Tries to rent to retail, she works hard for her money and would not like Council to tell her who to rent to. Doesn’t want to be told by any part of government what she can do with her property. She is for incentives for retail.

Mayor North asked about business spaces upstairs.

Michelle Buckner, resident and business owner, concerned that the city would tell business owners what they can or cannot do. We are just getting back our income and may be going into a recession. It will cost more with the cost of building out. When she first got here Council was asking businesses to come on to Draper and didn’t say what kind. Now there are trying to say what kind of business.

Michael Brewer, resident, valid points on both sides, Kingsburg is unique. Having retail would be important but understand the landlord’s side. Sees why a 45 day moratorium is a good idea to pause and collaborate.

Council Member Pursell, Jr is opposed to the Urgency Ordinance. Mayor North said the government overreach she opposes, but supports doing something as a collaboration. Council Member Roman said there are some businesses that are for it. Building owners have been against it, but she understands that something needs to be done. We don’t want our downtown area to be office space. We want people to eat and shop down here. We are good at working together to find a solution.

Council Member Hurtado asked if there is an existing tenant space, can you rent it to another office space. City Manager Henderson said yes, this is to stop the retail spaces from going to office. Council Member Hurtado said we have spoken about parking- is there some type of urgency with parking if we don’t pass this? Can we do something about parking? Council Member Pursell, Jr. said we don’t have timed parking. Council Member Roman said we don’t want our police officers downtown writing tickets, we want them out fighting crime. She is torn on a decision.

Council Member Palomar said I don’t buy items on amazon; he goes to stores. Has also seen a lot of office space. If we adopt it, business owners will need to sit down with city staff. No easy answer.

Council Member Hurtado said we understand that it is rights being taken away, this is a small commitment to see if it will work. Mayor North said she understands that if we pass this, the building owners that are losing retail leases will have the potential to not have renters for 45 days. Covid isn’t gone, we know a downturn is coming. We were begging for businesses to come down. Not sure if the 45 day is the right thing. She would like to have a public hearing in and invite the building owners.

She is not comfortable will with the 45 days and then pushing it 1 year and then 1 year, It is pushing Kingsburg City Council, City of Kingsburg Public Financing Authority and Board of Directors of the Successor Agency of the Kingsburg Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting Minutes June 15, 2022
the can down the line.

Council Member Pursell, Jr. would love to see downtown to be balanced but he is not willing to do this on the back of the building owners. It is a reduction of the property owner’s rights. Will do anything with in our rights to protect our brand. Doesn’t think this applies to the definition of what an urgency ordinance is. To infringe on the rights for a want is a slippery slope. It is a hard no but wants to continue with this conversation. Let’s move forward with the conversation of parking.

Council Member Hurtado asked when it comes to the specifically of the ‘urgency’ of this, how does this qualify?
City Attorney Noland said the issue that we have with the regards of the ordinance. Health and safetyin a broader aspect, looking at this area as a whole of the welfare of the city. How this section of Draper will be populated as whole, broader aspect of welfare. Basis upon which to adopt it on the definition. Mayor North asked a loss of sales tax to support public safety? City Attorney Noland said that is one of them. Mayor North said which hasn’t happened yet.

Council Member Pursell Jr. said financial welfare where we just approved the budget that is healthy. Is all for going through the proper process for re-zoning. Doesn’t want to shortcut the process.

City Manager Henderson said for clarification it is not just the city’s dollars that we are talking about, it is also the general welfare of the businesses. Staff will take the responsibility for bringing this to tonight. Even if you pass this, we won’t figure this out in 45 days. After holding a public hearing, you can extend it, and it doesn’t have to pushed forward for a whole year. The question for council is this conversation with the moratorium, or without it. We will have to make zoning changes over time and we are working with COG.

Council Member Roman said if you have a current office space, this would not change it. She is not against find incentives for adding retail. We’ll will have this discussion sooner than later Council Member Hurtado agrees with not telling building owners what to do, especially after coming off a pandemic. How long will it take without this?
City Manager Henderson said so many options, 6-9 months. Hard to pin point how long it will take.

Council Member Hurtado said it is going to take a long time no matter what. If we put a hold, it is just for a possible 50 person in the office.

Council Member Pursell, Jr. said there is a due process, and the building owners are due their due process to go through the proper zoning process. Mayor North said when the zoning process starts, we will do public hearings, correct? City Attorney Noland said yes.

Council Member Palomar said if we do adopt it, this process this will potentially 6-9 months. What happens after 45 days? City Manager Henderson said if the ordinance is passed, we would plan a public hearing, and then could extend it.

Mayor North asked if we don’t pass it today, can we start this conversation in July? City Manager Henderson said yes, and we would still have a public hearing.

Council Member Hurtado wants to talk about parking and incentives.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor North & City Council
REPORT FROM: Daniel Perkins, Fire Chief REVIEWED BY: AP AGENDA ITEM: Change of Dispatch Contract Agreement from Fresno County EMS to Fresno County Fire Protection District / Cal-Fire Communications ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ____Resolution √ Motion ______Receive/File

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Kingsburg has seen significant growth throughout the past 5 years with the Fire Department on track to see record call volumes for both EMS and FIRE calls for service. This increased demand in call volume places a tremendous strain on the current capabilities of the contracted Dual Communications abilities provided by Fresno County Emergency Medical Services Authority (FCEMSA).

Currently, FCEMSA dispatches both FIRE and EMS calls from the same SINGLE radio channel, “sharing” this channel via simulcast with other local agencies such as American Ambulance South County Units, Selma Fire, Sanger Fire, Orange Cove, and Sequoia Safety Council of Reedley. The volume of EMS calls has increased on this channel so much so that it has made communications difficult when FIRE calls occur and has caused several “near misses” due to improper FIRE radio operations. Adding to this difficulty is the fact that Communications are cited as one of the top 5 factors in Firefighter Fatalities and Severe Injuries according to National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). As such, staff is recommending that Kingsburg FIRE separate the dispatch channels, retaining the current ability to dispatch EMS units for free via FCEMSA and their county-wide exclusive operator (EOA) contract. The current Fire Dispatching portion of the contract would be dissolved and KFD will cease paying $9,000 per year for FCEMSA’s Firerelated Dispatching services. KFD will then replace this Fire Dispatching Contract with a dedicated, Firecentric, regional communications center through the Fresno County Fire Protection District/Cal Fire Communications Center. This regional communications center contract would allow for the following:
• KFD’s immediate use of several emergency FIRE channels, increasing firefighter safety • A committed FIRE Console Operator and the separation of EMS and FIRE Radio Traffic.

The agreement costs will be shared in a “regionalization” of the communications center contract with Selma FIRE simultaneously undergoing the same change thereby decreasing the expenditure for both entities. The cost of the contract per year for each agency is $28,265.10 and is offset for a net impact of $19,265 for KFD. This expenditure was anticipated and is budgeted in the FY23 operating budget.

This change will ensure that growth seen by both communities in the Southern Fresno County area is adequately supported through robust and expandable emergency FIRE communications.

RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL

1. Approve the Contract between Fresno County Fire Protection District and city of Kingsburg.

Meeting Date: 07/20/2022

Circuit Planner and Engineer Program
Kingsburg Zoning Update
Project Purpose and Need
The City of Kingsburg has an immediate need for assistance in processing a number of Zone Code Amendments within the Highway-Commercial (CH) district and to limit or prohibit additional professional office uses along Draper Street in the downtown Central Commercial (CC) District. Updating the permitted uses and adding the allowance of residential uses in the CH district will assist the City in providing needed housing resources for the community and meeting its Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation in the coming years. Concurrently, by controlling additional professional office uses along Draper Street, the City will curtail the loss of retail and commercial space along this key downtown corridor while creating a more walkable, livable, and economically beneficial downtown area.

Existing Form Based Code Standards Downtown Kingsburg
The City of Kingsburg has implemented Form Based Code (FBC) regulations to revitalize the downtown core of City and to preserve its historic significance and unique character. The existing FBC consists of three distinct transects located within the City’s downtown. Each transect provides distinct development standards and include a variety of uses aimed at supporting mixed-use neighborhoods throughout Kingsburg’s downtown core.

Amendments to FBC3: Draper Street Commercial Corridor
Existing FBC3 standards generally allow for a variety of uses including limited residential, retail, restaurants, public and private offices, personal services and office uses. Amendments to FBC3 would focus on public and private spaces located adjacent to Draper Street approximately between California and Lincoln Streets. Proposed amendments to the existing FBC3 standards include the following:
 Revise building form to allow structures up to 3 stories  Enable hotel/residential lobbies on the ground floor along Draper St.  Revise existing FBC3 to limit office uses on ground floor and continue office uses on 2nd floor along Draper St.
 Enable multi-family residential and/or hotel uses on upper floors.

Amendments to FBC2 and FBC3: Simpson Street
Simpson Street provides a direct path leading traffic from Highway-99 and Sierra Street to the Draper Street downtown Corridor. Public and private spaces along Simpson Street can be developed to include additional uses and design features that aid in creating a walkable and vibrant passageway guiding visitors toward Draper Street. Development in public and private spaces along Simpson Street (between Sierra and Draper Streets) are regulated by existing FBC 2 and FBC3 standards. The proposed amendments to FBC2 and FBC3 include:
 Amend existing building form standards to allow 4 story development  Allow restaurants, outdoor dining, retail, personal services and hotel uses  Enhance public spaces and wayfinding by including lighting, pedestrian walkways, public art, benches, and signage
Fresno Council of Governments (FCOG)
Circuit Planner and Engineer Program
Create FBC4 at the Intersection of Sierra and Simpson Street.

The creation of FBC4 will expand FBC code standards and regulations along the corner of Sierra Street and Simpson Street, which is currently not included within existing FBC transects. Due to its proximity to the State Route 99 exit into Kingsburg, the intersection of Sierra and Simpson can serve as a primary guiding point leading visitors through Simpson Street and into the downtown commercial corridor along Draper Street. The existing site, where FBC4 is proposed, is currently zoned Central Commercial (CC) and contains an existing gas station and medical office. FBC4 provides an opportunity to allow a range of diverse uses that create inviting public spaces and increase connectivity throughout Downtown Kingsburg. FBC4 standards will implement the following:
 Include building form standards that allow 4 and/or 5 story structures  Allow restaurant and retail uses and limit them to the ground floor and allow hotel and/or residential uses on upper floors
 Expand the character and historical significance of Kingsburg within the area through use of building form and design standards for public and private spaces  Continue implementing directional signage into the proposed FBC4 transect to maintain uniformity with the existing wayfinding elements in surrounding areas  Enhance walkability and public space by creating pedestrian pathways, implementing sidewalk furniture, lighting, planters
Highway Commercial District
Currently, the Highway Commercial (CH) district is located along Highway- 99. This district generally permits uses for automobile services, hotels and motels, retail, service stations, restaurants, offices, and other personal service uses. Residential uses are not permitted by right, through Administrative Approval or Commission Approval.

CH Zone Code Amendment
Update section 17.40.040 (Commercial Highway District) by amending the current permitted uses and language. Updates will also include adding residential as a Permitted Use in the CH district which would involve a Zone Code Amendment that adds multi-family residential as a permitted use and require a General Plan Amendment to maintain consistency between the zoning ordinance and the General Plan.

Additionally, property development standards would need to be established for the multi-family dwellings in the CH zone. The CH district of the zoning code can incorporate a section that includes objective design standards for residential developments and can develop a ratio of commercial to residential for a block or other boundary to maximize walkability of the area.

Create a Specific Plan Area
Create a Specific Plan area to specify design standards and other regulations to help guide development in a specified area of the city. Under Gov. Code § 65453, specific plan can be implemented either by adoption by resolution or ordinance. Some jurisdictions have adopted policy portions by resolution and regulatory provisions by ordinance. City of Kingsburg Development Code contains a process for preparing, processing, reviewing, adopting, and amending Specific Plans in Chapter 7.050. A typical specific plan will contain: establishment, relationship to municipal plan, purpose (guide new allowable development consistent with form and character), definitions, prohibitions, etc.

Fresno Council of Governments (FCOG)
Circuit Planner and Engineer Program
Specific design standards can apply to areas and subareas of the specific plan including:
 Prohibitions of uses (office space at ground level in mixed-use buildings)  Allowable uses (mixed-use residential)
 Building standards
 Building height
 Public realm design guidelines
 Buffering walls and screening for noise mitigation
 Landscaping (drought tolerant)
 Parking
 Sign standards
 Preservation of cultural resources
 Lighting
Update Mixed-Use Overlay Zoning District
A mixed-use overlay is a regulatory tool to facilitate the development of commercial and residential uses in certain areas of a city. While some overlay zones such as historic preservation or coastal conservation impose additional regulations that can limit development, a mixed-use overlay gives developers the option to build housing units while leaving the underlying zoning intact. The overlay provides the option for the development of residential and or a mix of both commercial and residential with commercial up front on the ground floor. To implement residential uses in the CH district the city can update section

17.48.020- MXU- Mixed Use Combining District to include opportunity sites along Highway-99 in the CH district. Objective design standards will be added under to section 17.48.020- MXU to create design standards. Proposed property developments within the CH Mixed use overlay district will have to follow the mixed overlay standards and the Highway Beautification Overlay District standards.

Objective Design Standards
Objective design standards are standards that involve no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant or proponent and the public official prior to submittal. These standards can improve the overall site and building design throughout the city by guiding the form and character of developments.

Examples of a few standards
 Setbacks
 Residential building 100 feet from Highway
 15 ft front yard
 Building Mass
 Special care should be taken to break down a building's mass wherever possible through variation in height. Varied floor plans can be designed in such a way so that less long runs of side wall can be paired with plans that have longer runs.  Floor Area Ratio
Fresno Council of Governments (FCOG)
Circuit Planner and Engineer Program
 Currently no FAR standards are established but we can incorporate an FAR of 1.5 which is close to what City of Fresno uses for their mixed-use zones.  Common open space
 The minimum area of any common open space shall be 1,000 square feet. The calculation of the common open space area shall exclude structures which are unusable as open space, but shall include structures that enhance its usability, such as swimming pools, changing facilities, fountains, planters, benches, and landscaping Reduce Pollution Risks near Highways
Allowing residential near heavy trafficked highways poses many health risks to residents due to pollution concentrations and emission rates of cars and trucks. CalEnviroScreen shows that the City of Kingsburg has a pollution burden of 94 and a CalEnviroScreen 4.0 Percentile of 70. Kingsburg also has an asthma percentile of 77 meaning that the asthma rate is higher than 77% of the census tracts in California. The traffic impacts for the portion of Kingsburg South of Highway 99 has a traffic density percentile of 39 and a diesel particulate matter percentile of 83. The area north of highway 99 has a traffic percentile of 24 and a diesel particulate percentile of 48.

Cities can implement regulations to reduce some of the risks for those living near highways. The City can require developments to provide solid barriers with vegetation such as sound walls and trees along freeways to help reduce noise and pollutants from freeway. The city can also require residential developments to have high efficiency filtration system and devices specifically high-efficiency filtration with mechanical ventilation or portable high efficiency air cleaners. Development standards can also require open space areas to be as far from the freeway sources as possible and can prioritize the location of non-habitable uses such as parking structures nearest the freeway.

Incentive Programs
A development incentive program encourages a developer to voluntarily provide a community benefit in exchange for building incentives. Since development incentive programs are voluntary it cannot include required development exactions, in-lieu and impact fees, or off-site improvements. For an incentive program to be effective it is important for it to be structured in a way to make it attractive for developers to voluntarily provide good quality public amenities. It must be clear, simple, and predictable.

Developers can provide
 Public Open Space
 Public right-of-way improvements
 Public Parking
 Neighborhood centers
 Water efficiency and Alternative energy
 Public art
 Eco roofs
Development incentives can include:
 Height increases
 Density increase
 Floor Area Ratio bonuses
 Relaxation of parking requirements
 Fee waiver
 Expedited City Approvals

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Laura North & City Council

REPORT FROM: Daniel A. Galvez -Public Works Director REVIEWED BY: AP AGENDA ITEM: Turf Replacement Program Update
ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ____Motion _____Receive/File

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City is continuing the Turf replacement program in the new fiscal year, 22/23. The City has budgeted $30,000 and is funded by the Water Enterprise fund. The program has received a great amount of interest and has been promoted in the Carrier and City Website. The turf replacement program assists with converting grass landscapes with drought tolerant landscape or artificial turf. The rebate program allows for a maximum of $3,000 per project for materials and labor. The program provides $2 per Sq Ft of turf replaced (1500 sq-ft maximum). The goal of the program is to reduce water usage among its residential and commercial customers.

Staff has worked to make this program as easy as possible. • Residents submit an application for the program and the application is reviewed by City staff. • If the project is eligible, a site visit is scheduled and notice to proceed is given with an estimated rebate amount.
• The applicant will have 60 days to complete the project. • When the project is complete, a follow up verification meeting is scheduled. The project is confirmed, and cost documentation is submitted by the applicant and rebate amount is confirmed. • A reimbursement request is submitted, and check is issued.

In total the City has received 29 applications. For fiscal year 21/22 which ended June 30, 2022, 11 projects were completed. 10,796 sq ft. of turf was removed and 125 of sprinkler heads were removed or converted to drip irrigation. We currently have 9 projects in progress and 7 waiting to be processed.

The initial cycle has been a learning experience for staff and in the new fiscal year staff hopes to improve the program by sharing some of the lessons learned. In 2021 and 2022 the cost of materials has increased including the cost for artificial turf and base materials, knowing that the rebate may not cover the full cost of the replacement and having various quotes will lead a successful project. Removing turf is also labor intensive and disposing of the removed grass is also a challenge that needs to be pre-planned. Staff recommends for the DIY’er to utilize a sod remover to facilitate the work. As staff has inspected projects, we also found that requiring 4 plants for every 100 sq ft of sod removed did not work for every project and some applicants had already converted their flower beds with drought tolerant plants and drip irrigation. Some projects are looking to remove turf. The City has modified the program guidelines to allow for 2 plants for every 100 sq ft of turf removed and for project that just want to have turf replaced provided drip irrigation is/ or will be installed or capped.

Our goal for next cycle is improve the pre-inspection process and encourage commercial properties to apply.

RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL

1. No action information item only

POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S)

1. No alternatives -information item only
STRATEGIC GOAL(S) MET:

1. Promote Sustainable Development

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW
Council previously approved $30, 000 from the water enterprise for the fiscal year 2021/2022. The program was renewed for the fiscal year 2022/2023 for the same amount. The City has previously participated in irrigation and reduced water use programs. The City previously provided smart irrigation controllers to its residents. This program allowed for residents to automatically program an irrigation schedule to coincide with the City’s current watering schedule.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The EPA estimates that the average American family uses 320 gallons of water per day, about 30 percent of which is devoted to outdoor uses. Eliminating lawns can provide significant water savings a typical pop-up station of a lawn irrigation system uses approximately 16 gallons of water per minute. Here is an example of how to calculate how much water is being used per month:

Number of Minutes x Number of Stations/Zones = Total Minutes Total Minutes x Gallons per minute = Total Gallons used per watering cycle Total Gallons per cycle x Number of days per month you water = Total gallons used per month If your system has eight stations, and you water twice per week, and each station runs for 15 minutes, then you are using 1,920 gallons each day you water, or 15,360 gallons per month.

Our current watering schedule has two cycles:

Outdoor watering is allowed three (3) days per week from April - October.

The State of California recently issued an emergency mandate that bans the use of potable (drinkable) water on decorative or non-functional grass at commercial, industrial, and institutional properties. The regulations also apply to common areas of subdivisions and properties controlled by homeowner association. The regulations do not apply to recreational or residential areas or trees.

FISCAL IMPACT:

1. Is There A Fiscal Impact? Yes

2. Is it Currently Budgeted? Yes

3. If Budgeted, Which Line? Water Enterprise

In June 2021, our water wells produced 114. 682(Million Gallons) MG compared to 132.702 MG in 2021, and 111.67 MG in 2020. The amounts produced in recent years is significantly less than in June 2013 when 162.8 MG of water were produced. Water production is trending upwards from 2019 when drought was fresh and maximum enforcement was in place.

In the month of June, staff issued 12- $25 water violations to residents who were watering on the incorrect day, time or had watering flowing beyond their property line.

The State of California is in a drought with most counties categorized in one of the following categories: D2- Severe Drought, D3 Extreme Drought, and D4 Exceptional Drought. Fresno County is currently categorized as D4 exceptional drought. The City of Kingsburg has seen water levels drop across all well sites, but the water system has not shown any signs of not being able to meet the water demands of the City. Conservation is key to continue to have a healthy water system.

7 CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor North & City Council
REPORT FROM: Michael Noland, City Attorney REVIEWED BY: AH AGENDA ITEM: National Opioid Settlement
ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ____Motion ____Receive/File

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
During the December 1, 2021 City Council meeting, City staff advised the City Council the City had registered to participate in the National Opioid Settlement.

In July, 2021, California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced $26 billion in opioid litigation settlements. The settlements include settlements with Cardinal, McKesson, and AmerisourceBergen – the nation’s three major pharmaceutical distributors and Janssen, a company that manufactured and marketed opioids which is a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson. As part of the proposed settlements, it was anticipated California would receive a maximum of approximately $2.26 billion (“Settlement Funds”). Eligible cities and counties that elected to participate in the settlement will receive a portion of the Settlement funds, and the more eligible cities and counties that join, the larger the Settlement Funds will be to the State of California.

The litigating California entities (about 78 cities and counties) finalized an allocation agreement with the Attorney General. The County of Fresno has been involved in these negotiations on behalf of the County and the cities in Fresno County. As a result of the Attorney General’s final approval the final allocation agreement approximately $2.1 to $2.5 billion will be received by the State of California over the next 18 years (the Johnson and Johnson money is paid over 8 years). The Year 1 Payment Allocations for the State of California, the County of Fresno and the City of Kingsburg are attached to this Staff Report as Exhibit “A”. As you will note, the Year 1 Payment Allocation to the City of Kingsburg is $4,422.77 and the Year 1 Payment Allocation to the County of Fresno is $1,042,955.13. If the allocation remains the same for the 18-year period, the City could receive a total of approximately $79,609.86.

The funds received by each jurisdiction may only be spent on an approved list of opioid abatement purposes.

Every participating jurisdiction that elects to receive direct settlement payments must comply with annual reporting requirements to the National Settlement Administrator and to possible audits by the State of California.

The County of Fresno is suggesting that rather than a city in Fresno County receiving a direct payment of settlement funds, each city allow its share of the settlement funds to flow to the County of Fresno. It is our understanding, the County of Fresno plans to use the settlement funds for a County-wide program dealing with opioid treatment and abatement. City Staff is requesting direction from the City Council regarding the following: (i) receive the settlement amounts and initiate a City-wide opioid abatement program funded by the annual settlement payments received by the City; or (ii) allow the City’s share of settlement funds to flow to the County of Fresno to assist with funding County-wide programs for opioid treatment and abatement.

Meeting Date: 07/20/2022
Agenda Item: 6.3

RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL

1. Assign the City’s share of settlement funds to the County of Fresno to assist with funding County-wide programs for opioid treatment and abatement.

POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S)

1. Receive the settlement funds and develop a City-wide opioid treatment and abatement program.

STRATEGIC GOAL(S) MET:

1. Improve Public Safety

COG Recommended Plan
Overall Shortcomings
• Urban Tier 1 project list – should focus more on existing needs rather than capacity for new growth areas
• Clarity needed for Local Hire, Urban TOD requirements • Flawed assumption that Measure C revenue growth would outpace inflation and enable a 39% smaller share for the Public Transit program without service impacts starting in July 2027.

Shortcomings of the COG Recommended Plan
(Local & Neighborhood Streets)
• Elimination of the $100,000 baseline allocation to every agency prior to distributing funds by formula, which has served to provide greater equity to smaller cities in the current 2007-27 program • Inability for agencies to repair curbs and sidewalks, or to perform Complete Streets projects
Solutions | City of Fresno Alternative
(Local & Neighborhood Streets)
• Restore equity, provide
flexibility
• Provide a baseline $100,000 to each
agency prior to distributing the
balance by population-road miles
(same as current Measure)
• Modify formula to be 80%
population, 20% road miles
• Allow agencies to repair curbs,
gutters & sidewalks; and/or provide
Complete Streets when roadways
are repaved
Shortcomings of the COG Recommended Plan
(Local Control)
• COG PLAN
• Insufficient Local Control funding levels for cities
• CITY OF FRESNO PROPOSAL:
• Local Control / Flexible Funding – to address public transit program reductions and local agency needs, the Local Control / Flexible funding needs to be 100% population-based.
