Commercial Zoning Update - Proposed Scope of Work - Staff Report by Community Development Director Holly Owen
Sponsor: Community Development Department
Presentation by Eric VonBerg, here with COG who is funding this process. He is here to present ideas and concepts to get feedback from council. He reviewed the downtown code, would like to promote retail, restaurants and personal services. Encourage development up to 3 stories. Proposed new zone district in the downtown to allow more commercial development. Also looking at allowing residential in the commercial zone. Could also develop a specific plan to specify design standards and other regulations to guide development. Another option is a mix use overlay zone. Objective design standards will be made so there is no subjective rulings. Spoke about incentive programs. Looking for feedback what type of housing is needed, what type of businesses would you like to see, what type of uses would fit.
Council Member Pursell, Jr. asked about proposed zoning by Sinclair (SBC4). Mr. VonBerg said yes, it would include allowing for 5 story buildings. Asked about the other zones. Mr. VonBerg said with allowing higher buildings, there is the possibility of having retail on the bottom and offices above.
City Manager Henderson explained the different zones, discussion with consultants from 2017. There are some things that need to be cleaned up in the code , it is from 2014. Mayor North asked how high our ladder truck goes. Chief Perkins said 6-7 stories. Council Member Palomar asked about subjective standards, would make it so there wouldn’t need to be a public hearing? Mr. VonBerg said yes, so people can’t complain about a project without due cause, streamlines the process and removes the CEQA requirements. Council Member Pursell, Jr. asked what are the negatives of the subjective standards. Mr. VonBerg said it is a new process, doesn’t know if there are negatives that have come up.
Mayor North asked if we allow the new zone, Sinclair can knock down their business and build apartments. Mr. VonBerg said yes, if that is what we put in the code. You could require certain setbacks, design styles and requiring green spaces. Council Member Roman loves the idea of the mixed use and asked about what type of incentives they are proposing. Mr. VonBerg said that is a part Kingsburg City Council Minutes
July 20, 2022
of the process that is coming up. Council Member Roman would like to know what incentives would encourage the type of businesses we would like to see downtown. Mayor North asked as it is written, this shows we are limiting the office buildings. Mr. VonBerg said yes, that is what we are recommending. Mayor North asked what other communities have done this. Mr. VonBerg said Selma, Ca is working on it, doesn’t know of any other city. Downtown Fresno is promoting retail spaces.
Mayor North asked are they promoting or are they changing the zoning? Mr. VonBerg said Selma is adding the zoning. Mayor North said a lot of the Fulton Street is boarded up.
Council Member Palomar asked if he has a ratio of retail to office space? Council Member Pursell, Jr. said mixed use sounds great. He would like to see a lot of consideration for parking. Mayor North would like to see what other cities have done as incentives without changing the zone to not allow offices. Council Member Pursell, Jr. said it has to be finically viable for property owners downtown.
Mayor North asked if current owners are grandfathered in. Would hate to have buildings boarded up.
Mr. VonBerg said you could always limit and not allow office space.
Mayor North doesn’t want to waste his time, is not behind telling building owners what they can do with their property. Council Member Roman thinks there are creative ways that may be able to make it work, our city is different than others. She is excited, looking into the future. Council Member Pursell, Jr. said the previous meeting had an urgency ordinance. He is not going to support something that is on the backs of building owners. Doesn’t want to take away property rights. Will support the rest, lighting, wayfinding. Mayor North agrees.
Sherman Dix, resident, building owner on Draper, opposed to limiting office space, as Mr. VonBerg said, at the end it is market driven. Researched where it has been used- couldn’t really find any.
Sonoma County had a park where there is only retail. Mr. Dix said 70% of the downtown is retail. Is for encouragement than restriction. Most retail shops close already at 5, most are closed on Sunday. Is for design issues, better signage, trim trees. Would like the data behind this. How do we know this is the right way?
Jennifer Delinger, building owner, business owner, and resident, said don’t tell me what to do with my property. Wouldn’t push anyone on the 2nd floor as suggested. Parking is an issue. Would like 3-hour parking, but not just on Draper.
Lee Darling, resident, asked about a vertical parking structure for free parking. Against parking meters.
Council Member Pursell, Jr. asked how much it would cost. City Manager Henderson said there is no cost, it is through COG. Council Member Roman said she would like to hire an consultant to look at the areas. Would like to make a motion to hire a consultant. Council Member Pursell, Jr. said this is just for them to research, right? We would have complete control? City Manager Henderson said if there is not the desire to limit office space, I would remove that from the scope. At the end of the it will come before the Planning Commission and then Council. Mayor North asked how would the reaching out look like? Mr. VonBerg said there will be conversations with business and building owners. Council Member Pursell, Jr. would like to see this for the other areas, not the downtown.
Mayor North wants to make sure building owners are contacted. Wants to make the best decision.
Council asked about timelines- 2 months to contact property owners, come back in 3 months with an update.

Water Conservation – Turf Replacement Program Update- Staff Report by Public Works Director Daniel Galvez.
Sponsor: Public Works Department
Public Works Director Daniel Galvez reported on the success of the Turf Replacement Program as he has just completed the first fiscal year. Council allotted $30,000 with a potential of $2 for every sq. ft. removed, up to $3,000. Public Works Director Galvez reviewed the process. 29 applications were submitted with 11 projects completed. Through the program there was 10,796 sq. f.t of turf removed, 125 sprinklers capped or converted to drip. Mr. Galvez reviewed challenges in the projects, and he reviewed goals including reaching out to commercial properties as the state has mandated that no decorative watering is allowed.
National Opioid Settlement Update- Staff Report by City Attorney Michael Noland.
Sponsor: City Attorney’s Office
City Attorney Michael Noland reviewed the history of the lawsuit. The City will receive $4,422.77.
Fresno County will receive $1,042,955. Fresno County reached out to see if the cities would direct the funds to the county. If we keep it we would have to set up an opioid treatment program and report to the state every year. Asking for direction if we want to forward the funds to the county or direct staff to start a city wide program. Council discussed that $4,227.77 is not enough for us to have our own program.
Supports sending it to the county as long as our citizens haver access and that we have a voice in the programs. Council discussed how the funds can be used. Mr. Noland said there has to be abatement in the use of the funds. Council Member Pursell, Jr. motioned, seconded by Council Member Palomar, to 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. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote of those Council Members present.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor North & City Council
REPORT FROM: Alexander J. Henderson; ICMA-CM REVIEWED BY: AP AGENDA ITEM: Adoption of the Fresno Council of Governments Approved Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan and Implementing Guidelines
ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution __Motion _____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On August 7, 2019, the Fresno County Transportation Authority (FCTA) Board authorized staff to begin the process of seeking to renew Measure C with a target of placing the Measure on the November 2022 ballot. Included in this authorization was direction to establish an Executive Committee (EC) and a Technical Working Group (TWG) to develop a draft expenditure plan for presentation to the FCTA Board for final approval.
Staff began contacting the various public and private sector organizations to ask for volunteers to join these two committees. With rare exception, staff did not contact specific individuals but worked though agencies and organizations to identify who would serve on the two committees.
In March of 2020, the COVID epidemic hit the United States. Threat of exposure precluded FCTA and Fresno Council of Governments (Fresno COG) staff from scheduling meetings of these committees for approximately 11 months. During that time period society adapted to meeting in a virtual environment and as a result, the first meetings of these two groups were held virtually in January and February of 2021.
Simultaneous with this effort, the Fresno COG was in the process of updating and adopting their Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). The RTP/SCS is the 20-year transportation planning document for Fresno County, while Measure C is part of how the RTP/SCS plan is implemented. As a result, the RTP/SCS became the framework for Measure C renewal.
The two committees spent much of their early meetings discussing membership and listening to background information about the Original Measure C adopted in 1986, the Measure C Extension adopted in 2006, and developing guiding principles for a potential third measure (MC3). Membership and process discussions consumed much of the committees’ time in the initial months, particularly within the EC.
Fresno COG held several community meetings where the RTP/SCS was discussed, and public input sought over a year’s time. Measure C staff and consultants participated in these RTP meetings with discussions about what the public viewed as the highest priorities for a renewed Measure C.
In March of 2021, FCTA staff commissioned a public opinion poll to determine what County residents thought were the most pressing transportation issues, and whether or not they would support a second extension of Measure C.
The results of that poll were shared with the FCTA Board and the two committees. The polling indicated very high support for renewing Measure C (80%), and that fixing local roads was clearly the highest priority, also at 80%.
In October 2021, FCTA conducted a series of in-person and online public forums specific to Measure C renewal.
Staff made short presentations while the majority of the time was spent listening to members of the public discuss Meeting Date: 08/03/2022
Agenda Item: 5.4
what they thought were the highest priorities for a third Measure C. Simultaneously, FCTA also launched an online survey for the purpose of gathering similar data. To date staff has received 2,804 responses with very similar results. FCTA staff and consultants also conducted in person door to door contacts with residents in Cantua Creek, Lenare, Tranquility, Orange Cove, Parlier, Kerman, Mendota, Caruthers, Coalinga, Del Rey, Five Points, Huron, Sanger, Kingsburg, and San Joaquin. Approximately 1,070 surveys were completed by Spanish speakers. The public meetings, online surveys, and in-person contacts all conveyed the same basic messages as the polling; fixing roads was the number one priority.
Beginning with the needs assessment performed by Fresno COG through the RTP/SCS process, staff began drafting alternative proposals for Measure C 3 funding. Four alternatives were initially presented to the TWG. Of these four, two had a significant level of support within the TWG. These two alternatives were later refined by the TWG.
During this process FCTA and Fresno COG staff also met with representatives from Fresno County, the City of Fresno and the City of Clovis to discuss the framework of the preferred alternatives the TWG was considering.
While by no means diminishing the importance of the small cities, it was felt that Fresno, Clovis, and Fresno County support of a proposed plan was critical in order to obtain its eventual endorsement by both the TWG and EC. Based upon these meetings, modifications were made to the preferred alternative then being considered by the TWG.
These modifications increased the Transit and Local Control subprograms. Specifically, the increase in the Local Control Program was intended to allow each agency to best tailor their Measure C expenditures to their unique and specific needs. This flexibility was especially critical for the City of Fresno who wanted to use some of their Local Control Program money to further increase funds dedicated to public transit.
The TWG considered and approved this allocation plan by a substantial majority. This approved plan was then sent to the EC for their consideration.
The EC also considered and approved the plan as submitted by the TWG. During this consideration and approval process, a second series of public meetings were conducted to once again listen to people’s concerns about transportation in Fresno County. A second opinion poll was also conducted resulting in nearly identical results from the first poll.
Once the EC adopted the draft allocation plan, staff used the proposed allocation plan as adopted by the EC and TWG, to develop a detailed draft Expenditure Plan and a set of Implementing Guidelines. The Expenditure Plan was posted for public review on May 27, 2022, and the Implementing Guidelines were posted about a week later. Staff received a number of written and verbal comments on the plan and guidelines. Many of the suggested revisions were incorporated while some were not. Comments not included in the plan tended to be in conflict with the allocation plan adopted by the EC and TWG. The public comment period closed on June -27, 2022 and a final draft revision of the draft plan and guidelines was posted on June 29, 2022.
The plan was to be presented to the Fresno Council of Governments Policy Board for their approval, which was then to be followed by presentation to the FCTA Board for their proposed adoption. Fresno COG was scheduled to consider the plan on June 30, 2022 with FCTA following on July 20. The June 30, 2022 meeting of Fresno COG was ultimately cancelled due to technical difficulties and was rescheduled for July 7, 2022.
CITY OF FRESNO PROPOSAL
In mid-June, FCTA and Fresno COG staff made a presentation to the Fresno City Council on the EC/TWG approved plan. Shortly after that presentation, staff was made aware that the City of Fresno would not support the EC/TWG Plan as currently written. Through a series of meetings, the last one held on the morning of June 30, 2022 – a few hours before Fresno COG was to consider adoption of the EC/TWG plan – FCTA and Fresno COG staff agreed that the substantially revised proposal submitted by the City (that morning) had merit as it closely followed the EC/TWG plan with a few minor revisions.
These revisions included:
1. Allowing sidewalk repairs to be funded through the Local Neighborhood and Street Repair and
Maintenance Program (Street Repair Program)
2. Revising the distribution of these street repairs funds from 75% population – 25% road miles to 80% -- 20% (later revised to 78% -- 22%)
3. Revise the distribution of the Local Control Program funds to 100% population based
4. Establish an annual $100,000 minimum allocation within the Street Repair Program for each of the 16 agencies in Fresno County
5. Change a few of the projects included in the City of Fresno’s portion of the Tier 1 Major Roads and Highway Program
6. Limit Urban Transit Oriented Development (TOD) funding to certain high-density and transit corridor requirements
7. Include local hiring preference language
The result of these changes was that each of the 15 cities in Fresno County would get slightly more funding (approximately 5% to 20% with the smallest cities experiencing the largest percentage increase) while Fresno County would receive about $187 million less over the life of the Measure. After considerable public and Board discussion, the Fresno COG Policy Board approved the EC/TWG plan as modified by the City of Fresno.
On July 12, 2022, the Fresno County Board of Supervisors also considered the plan adopted by Fresno COG. All Board members expressed concern with the lower Fresno County allocation and with the last-minute changes requested by the City of Fresno; however, after much discussion the Board adopted the plan as previously approved by Fresno COG.
On July 20, 2022, the FCTA Board voted 7-1 to approve the plan approved by the Fresno COG Policy Board and Fresno County Board of Supervisors.
APPROVED PLAN
A full copy of both the Expenditure Plan and Implementing Guidelines are included for review. In summary, the approved plan provides total projected revenue over 30 years of $6,835,044,756 or approximately $7 Billion.
Subprogram Percentage Allocation
Local and Neighborhood Street Repair and Maintenance 51% $3,511,000,000 Local Control 18% $1,208,794,520
Urban and Rural Public Transit 12% $811,953,000
Safe Bikes and Pedestrians 1% $75,524,940
Major Roads and Highways, Safety Improvement and
Congestion Relief
15% $997,713,440
Environmental Sustainability 2% $144,000,000
Administration 1.25% $86,058,856
Distribution by Agency (as modified by the City of Fresno proposal) Agency Allocation
(Millions)
Agency Allocation
(Millions)
Clovis $519.2 Mendota $53.8
Coalinga $69.2 Orange Cove $44.1
Firebaugh $36.9 Parlier $67.6
Fowler $29.4 Reedley $67.6
Fresno $2,210.7 San Joaquin $20.6
Huron $28.3 Sanger $120.1
Kerman $71.0 Selma $107.4
Kingsburg $61.9 Fresno County $1,130.2
In addition, the other changes proposed by the City of Fresno were incorporated into the Expenditure Plan and Implementing Guidelines except for the revised TOD criteria, which must still be developed by Fresno, Clovis, and Fresno COG staff. This revised criterial will be included in the Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) to be developed.
Specific language on local hiring preferences will also need to be developed and included in the SIP.
CONCLUSION:
The overall transportation needs in Fresno County exceed the revenues that can be generated through a ½ cent sales tax. However, this plan makes substantial progress towards meeting a high percentage of these needs.
Specifically, this plan will:
• Allow the entire county to fix potholes and repair streets, reaching an average Pavement Condition Index of 70, which is within the “Good” category, thus reducing future maintenance costs, decreasing user costs, improving safety for vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians, and improving air quality
• Dedicates funds to disadvantaged communities and areas, including a $100,000 minimum allocation, which will help the smaller cities in the County, and dedication of no less than 30% of the street repair funds to disadvantaged areas
• Provides over $1 billion in Local Control sub program funding so that each agency can best meet their transportation needs. This could include additional road repairs, enhanced transit funding, additional Active transportation projects, or any other eligible transportation facility or service • Provides over $800 million to the three transit agencies in Fresno County; an increase of 180% over the current transit allocation
• In conjunction with other identified funding sources, meets 95% of the overall active transportation need established through the 2022 RTP/SCS process
• Helps address safety issues and congestion choke points on the urban and rural highways and major road systems
• Dedicates $144 million specifically for environmental enhancements beyond those specifically included in the other subprograms
• Collectively will improve pavement, improve safety, reduce congestion, improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, consistent with the RTP/SCS This plan will be beneficial for Fresno County as a whole and good for each and every city within Fresno County.

4 Introduction
The Fresno County Measure C Renewal
Expenditure Plan was prepared to:
Guide the expenditure of slightly more
than $6.84 billion in transportation
funds generated through continuation of
Fresno County’s half-cent transportation
sales tax over the next 30 years,
if approved by voters in the
November 2022 election.
Fresno County’s current Measure C Program,
voter approved in 2006, expires in June 2027.
This Renewal Expenditure Plan, developed
by an Executive Committee and a Technical
Working Group (TWG) consisting of
approximate 80 individuals representing
diverse community interests (as identified
in Table 1 of this Plan), and local, state and
regional agencies, will address major local
and regional transportation needs in Fresno
County through the Year 2057.
Through a series of public meetings, two public
opinion polls, and thousands of online and inperson surveys, the Executive Committee and TWG thoroughly considered needs identified
by community residents during development
of the Plan. To ensure the Plan addressed
transportation needs of all county residents,
the Committees completed the following tasks:
• Reviewed Measure programs recently passed
in other counties (best practices review).
• Listened to presentations by air quality and
transportation advocates and agencies.
• Considered recommendations
of transportation professionals.
• Heard innovative ideas related to
new technologies in transportation.
• Developed Expenditure
Plan Goals and Objectives.
• Considered public input.
• Reviewed and considered the entire
County’s transportation needs by category.
5 Overview
The Measure C
Renewal Program
Figure 1 provides an overview of the proposed
Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan funding
allocations approved by the Executive Committee
and the TWG. Referencing Figure 1, the
allocations consider a “multimodal”
transportation program with:
• 51.37% of expected Measure funds directed
to “Fix-It-First” Local and Neighborhood
Street Repair and Maintenance activities
and programs.
• Eighteen percent (17.64%) of the funds
directed to the Local Control program. The
16 local agencies (cities and the County) in
Fresno County will allocate these funds to
their highest priority unique transportation
needs including additional local street and
highway maintenance and other street and
road improvements, pedestrian, trail, and
bicycle facilities improvements, safe routes
to school improvements, enhanced public
transit services, and other transportation
services and programs.
• Twelve percent (11.88%) of the Measure
funding allocated directly to Urban and
Rural Public Transit systems and services
throughout the County including Fresno
Area Express (FAX), Clovis Transit, and
the Fresno County Rural Transit Agency
(FCRTA).
• One percent (1.22%) of the Measure will be
allocated to the Safe Bikes and Pedestrians
program (including Safe Routes to School &
Access for People with Disabilities) to address
improvements and safety enhancements for
bicyclists and pedestrians, including students,
seniors and people with disabilities, as well as
other related improvements.
6 • Fifteen percent (14.60%) of the Measure
will be directed toward Major Roads
and Highways, Safety Improvement and
Congestion Relief projects in the Urban
(Clovis and Fresno Spheres of Influence) and
Rural (remaining County and rural cities)
areas. Such projects will be located along the
State Highway System and along regional
corridors to enhance connections within
the urban area and between the cities and
rural communities throughout the County.
• Two percent (2.00%) of the funds are
available for projects that enhance
Environmental Sustainability including
clean transportation projects and programs,
transit-oriented development projects, and
other projects that will improve air quality,
address climate change and improve health.
• Finally, one and one quarter percent
(1.25%) of the Measure will address
program Administration and
planning activities of the Fresno County
Transportation Authority (Authority)
and the Fresno Council of Governments
(Fresno COG) over the 30-year period.

7 Public
Engagement
Public engagement activities for the Measure
C Renewal Expenditure Plan began with the
formation of the Executive Committee and
TWG in February of 2021. Over 80 local leaders
volunteered to participate as representatives of
diverse sectors of Fresno County from both urban
and rural communities. These leaders brought
unique perspectives from various sectors of our
community including healthcare, education, local
government, emergency services, transportation
planning and facilities experts, environmental
organizations, public works, law enforcement,
fire and paramedic, agriculture, community based
organizations, and more. Over the 16-month
Measure C Renewal Process period, a total of 37
meetings were held between these two committees
with the focus on identifying and evaluating
transportation needs throughout Fresno County.
In addition to these two committees, community
engagement remained a key focus to gain clarity
and common ground. To that end, 10,000 Fresno
County residents participated in community
polling and outreach via the following methods:
• Public Polling
• In-Person
Workshops
• Community Group
Meetings
• Door-to-Door
Inquiries
• Events
• Virtual meetings
via Zoom
• Online Public
Survey
In total, fourteen (14) community
meetings were held in both rural and
urban settings. Additionally, with COVID
concerns still prevalent, an Online Public
survey was utilized that garnered 2,804
total survey respondents, as well as 2,000
additional comments.
The online survey also focused on rural and
unincorporated areas by employing a doorto-door campaign. That effort produced 1,070 mostly Spanish respondents in the following
communities: Cantua Creek, Lenare, Tranquility,
Orange Cove, Parlier, Kerman, Mendota,
Caruthers, Coalinga, Del Rey, Five Points,
Huron, Sanger, Kingsburg, and San Joaquin.
Members of the Executive Committee and the
TWG are listed on the Measure C Renewal
webpage at this link:
www.measurec.com/
measure-c-committees
Two-thirds (67%) voter approval will be necessary
to pass Measure C in November 2022. In order
to ensure that Executive Committee and TWG
members were on target with this Expenditure
Plan, over 3,000 voters and community residents
were surveyed early in the Plan development
process to determine support for an extension of
the Measure, and to identify the public’s highest
transportation priorities. An additional 3,000
voters were again surveyed in the spring of 2022
to confirm support for proposed expenditures.
8 Both polling efforts expressed widespread
support for continuation of Measure Cand
identified residents’ highest transportation
priorities. The Measure C Renewal Plan effort
was guided by development of the Fresno COG
2022 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable
Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). The RTP/
SCS is intended to guide transportation and
land use decisions that will improve our
quality of life, air quality, mobility and make
communities more cohesive. The RTP/SCS is
updated every four years and has a robust outreach
and stakeholder involvement process including
numerous committee meetings, public workshops
and hearings, public surveys and polling, and
other engagement opportunities. The RTP/SCS
integrates all modes of transportation along with
land use, housing, environmental issues, reduction
of vehicle miles travelled, and other related issues.
The RTP/SCS is one of the critical building blocks
that has helped guide development of the 2022
Measure C Renewal effort and identify needs and
funding requirements.
Goals and
Guiding
Principles
Considering the public engagement activities
conducted over the past 16 months, the
Executive Committee and TWG adopted the
following set of goals and objectives to help
guide development of this Expenditure Plan:
Goal #1
Equitable mobility and accessibility for all
within and across the network of streets,
highways, transit, bicycle and pedestrian
routes and facilities.
Objectives
• Encourage equitable participation by
communities in the Measure C planning
and implementation process.
• Support the equitable distribution of benefits
and burdens of transportation projects.
• Support the improvement and expansion of
accessible transportation options to serve
the needs of residents, especially those who
have historically faced disproportionate
transportation burdens, including seniors
and people with disabilities.
Goal #2
Vibrant communities that are accessible
by sustainable transportation options.
Objectives
• Encourage alternatives to single occupancy
vehicles that reduce vehicle miles travelled
(VMT) and greenhouse gas emissions.
• Support investment in and promotion of active
transportation and transit to improve public
health and mobility, especially in historically
underinvested areas.
• Support transportation projects that
support transit-oriented development.
9 • Support efforts to improve air quality and
minimize pollutants from transportation.
Goal #3
A safe, dependable, well-maintained, efficient,
cost effective, and climate-resilient multimodal
transportation network.
Objectives
• Encourage on-going maintenance and
repair of the existing infrastructure.
• Support investment in multimodal safety
measures to reduce traffic fatalities and
injuries throughout the region.
• Support improvements in travel connections
to create an integrated, accessible, and
seamless transportation network.
• Avoid congestion through smart management
of existing transportation facilities.
• Add capacity only after other options have
been considered and determined to be
infeasible, impractical or ineffective.
• Maximize the cost-effectiveness
of transportation improvements.
• Maximize available funding and support
new investments that are targeted, effective,
and financially sound.
• Encourage investments that increase the
system’s resilience to extreme weather events,
natural disasters, subsidence, and pandemics.
• Support the preservation and maintenance
of existing multimodal transportation assets
in a state of good repair.
• Utilize Measure funding to leverage other
local, state, and federal funds, including
competitive grant programs.
• Ensure that growth does not adversely
impact existing facilities.
Goal #4
A transportation network that supports a
sustainable and vibrant economy.
Objectives
• Support local and regional economic
development by leveraging planning and
transportation funds that foster public and
private investment.
• Provide transportation mobility options
necessary to conduct essential daily activities
and support economic growth and prosperity.
• Support modern regional aviation.
• Embrace cutting edge and fiscally responsible
transportation and new technologies that serve
to interconnect systems and that make travel
more efficient and cost effective.
• Support efficient, dependable, resilient,
and sustainable goods movement.
10 Goal #5
A region embracing clean transportation,
technology, and innovation.
Objectives
• Support innovative mobility solutions that
are accessible, affordable, reduce greenhouse
gas emissions, and improve air quality.
• Utilize current and emerging technologies
to better manage transportation systems
and services.
• Improve predictability and reliability
of transportation facilities and services.
• Embrace new and emerging intelligent
transportation system (ITS) projects
and programs.
Goal #6
A high level of transparency, performance
review, and accountability.
Objectives
• Provide for continuous collection of
transportation and other related data
from available sources.
• Incorporate transportation performance
measures, whenever possible.
• Encourage innovation with a goal of providing
cost effective transportation solutions.
Guided by the Executive Committee and TWG,
staff further distilled these goals and objectives
into five guiding principles that were then used
to guide the development of the Allocation Plan:
Stewardship
• Fix it First.
• County-wide Pavement Management Plan.
• Oversight and Performance Measures, and
Equity—“No Neighborhood Left Behind.”
Equity
• Investment in active transportation and
public transit to improve health and mobility
throughout the County including historically
underinvested areas.
• Improve air quality throughout the County,
especially in historically disadvantaged areas.
• Ensure all areas of the County have their
road repair needs addressed with emphasis
on areas not previously addressed—
“No Neighborhood Left Behind.”
• Provide local jobs and access
to training opportunities.
• Supplemental road repair funds
for very low-income areas.
• Expand new and innovative public
transit services and solutions.
Sustainability and Resources
Conservation
• Maintaining and operating transportation
facilities are much less resource intensive
than rebuilding.
11 • Focus on maximizing the safety and
efficiency of the transportation systems,
not on system expansion.
• Roads, highways, and their adjacent
sidewalks are necessary for every type
of transportation—cars, trucks, buses,
bicycles, and pedestrians.
• Electric vehicles will still
rely on roads and highways.
• Provide for Complete Streets and roads that
accommodate vehicles, bikes, public transit
and pedestrians.
Air Quality and Climate Resiliency
• All projects require environmental
review and must address air quality and
greenhouse gas emission reductions.
• Well-maintained pavements reduce
particulate matter PM10 and PM2.5,
which are the primary pollutants
referenced in the most recent air
quality study.
• Congestion reduction and avoidance through
better operations reduces tailpipe emissions
of pollutants, diesel exhaust particular matter
and greenhouse gas emissions.
• Reduce vehicle miles travelled (VMT)
through Public Transit, Active Transportation,
and road and highway projects.
• Harden transportation facilities to increase
systems’ resiliency to extreme weather events.
• Expand new and innovative public
transit services and solutions.
Flexibility
• Expanded Local Needs program allows
real time and long-term flexibility—
allows agencies to best address their current
transportation needs and changing future
needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
• Allows each agency to tailor the
program to their specific needs.
• Allows agencies to maximize the
use of matching fund programs.
• The amendment process contained within
the current measure and to be continued
in this measure allows adaptability.
• 15-year publicly driven process to evaluate
the success or shortcomings of the Measure
Renewal with a process to change or adapt,
as necessary.
• In depth review of performance measures
every 5 years by agency staff and the Citizen
Oversight Committee (COC) with the
ability to amend the Measure C Renewal
Expenditure Plan if key indicators are not met.
Meeting the needs of Fresno County residents
requires leveraging State and federal investments
with local resources. Even with a new Measure C
here will not be enough funding available to
address almost $16 billion in transportation
needs. The Measure C Extension will generate
more than $6.84 billion over the next 30 years,
far short of the overall need, therefore, leveraging
additional federal and State funding, beyond
what the region expects, is critical.
12 Success of
the Current
Measure C
Program
Many changes to the existing transportation
system have occurred since voters first approved
Measure C in 1986 and again in 2006. The
current Measure C Program has provided
funding to a variety of transportation projects
and services including bike, pedestrian and
trail projects, public transit improvements,
and other transportation programs and
services. New and improved regional and
local streets and highways are also reflected
in the current Measure C and have been or
will be constructed by 2027 improving travel
flow, increasing safety, and reducing severe
congestion. These improvements include:
• State Route (SR) 41: Auxiliary Lane—
Tulare to “O” Street
• SR 99: North to Cedar Avenues
• SR 99: Monterey Bridge
• SR 180 East: Clovis to Temperance Avenues
• SR 180: Brawley to Hughes/West Avenues
• SR180, SR 41, and SR 168 Braided Ramps
• Willow Avenue, Temperance, Ventura,
California, Peach, Herndon, and Shaw Avenues
• Veteran’s Boulevard—Shaw to Barstow
and Bullard to Herndon Avenues
• SR 99: Veteran’s Boulevard Interchange
• SR 180 West: Yuba to James
Avenues Passing Lanes
• SR 180 East: Temperance to Academy Avenues
• SR 180 East: Academy Avenue
to Trimmer Springs Road
• SR 180 East: Trimmer Springs
Road to Frankwood Avenue
• Friant Road: Copper Avenue
to Millerton Road
• Golden State Boulevard: American
Avenue to the Tulare County Line
• SR 269: New Bridge/Channel
between SR 198 and City of Huron
• SR 180 West: SR 180 to I-5
• Mountain View Avenue: Bethel
Avenue to the Tulare County Line
• Academy Avenue: Manning
Avenue to Industrial Park
• SR 99 and American Avenue Interchange
• I-5 and SR 198 Interchange
• Funding for public transit services including
Fresno Area Express (FAX), Clovis Transit, &
the Fresno County Rural Transit Agency
• Improvements to local streets and
roads, bikeway and trails systems,
and pedestrian facilities
13 Promises Made and Promises Kept of the
1986 and 2006 Measure C programs are
evident by the overwhelming voter approval
in Fresno County. In addition to the vast array
of transportation improvements provided
by these two Measures, they have given
Fresno County the opportunity to compete
successfully for additional State and Federal
transportation funding.
The Authority, Fresno COG, the 16 local agencies
and the three transit agencies have all successfully
leveraged more than $1 billion additional dollars
from Sacramento and Washington D.C Extending
Measure C will continue to provide local funds
under local control, in order to leverage and direct
additional state and federal funding to the County.
Annual Audit of
Measure Programs
Current Measure C expenditures and accounts of
the local agencies and the Authority are audited
on an annual basis by an independent audit firm
retained by the Authority. Over the past 34 years,
audit results have indicated that the Measure C
Program has been implemented, and proceeds
expended, in accordance with the Measure C
Expenditure Plan and enabling legislation.
That practice will continue with this Measure C
Renewal Program. Further, through the Citizens
Oversight Committee and the Authority, additional
performance indicators will be monitored
throughout the new Measure in order to assure
that funds are invested efficiently and effectively.
How the Plan
was Developed
The Measure C Renewal Executive
Committee and the TWG were formed
in February 2021 to develop the Measure
C Renewal Expenditure Plan. The TWG
evaluated existing transportation systems
and needs, and the Executive Committee
established goals for the future. There was
recognition that this Measure C Renewal
Plan needed to address the existing and
future transportation needs, focusing on
local neighborhoods and community street
and road maintenance, as well as continuing
investments in bicycle and pedestrian
facilities, transit services, and reducing
and avoiding congestion on our highways.
This Plan has built-in flexibility that will
allow our cities and County to adapt to their
specific transportation needs as they change
over time. This Plan recognizes transportation
programs that maintain and improve our
quality of life and position us to provide the
type of facilities and services that will be
needed to address our future mobility needs.
Members of the Executive Committee:
reviewed a variety of proposals,
considered public input and professional
expertise, conducted two public opinion
polls, and reviewed data and literature
from other agencies to prepare this Plan.
14 Members of the Executive Committee
represented the interests of government,
business, and other sectors identified
in Table 1.

15 Expected
Measure C
Proceeds
If voters approve the Extension of Measure C
in November of 2022, they will authorize
the Authority to continue to collect a ½ cent
retail transaction and use tax for 30 years
(between July 1, 2027 and June 30, 2057).
This is not a new or an added tax, but simply
an Extension of the existing Measure C tax.
This extension will: provide over
$6.84 billion in new revenues
for transportation improvements
according to financial projections
through the year 2057.
The $6.84 billion this third Measure will
generate is four and one-half times the amount
that is expected to be collected during the
current Measure C Program (approximately
$1.2 to $1.5 billion) through June 2027.
The allocation of these projected sales tax
revenues to specific types of transportation
funding programs and improvement projects is
described in the following sections of this plan.
The Authority will prepare and then update
a Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) every
two (2) years in order to verify or modify
the funding expectations based on the thencurrent fiscal conditions, making sure that the projections are consistent with future
expenditures and the promises made in this
plan. The Authority and Fresno COG will
also revisit this expenditure plan in 2042
(midpoint of the Measure) to potentially
adjust the transportation programs and
associated allocations of Measure C proceeds
ensuring that the plan addresses the future
transportation needs of the county and
its residents as determined through a
comprehensive public engagement process.
Finally, the Authority will have the option of
issuing bonds to deliver Measure C projects
and programs contained in this plan to save
project costs by delivering them earlier, and to
provide Fresno County residents with muchneeded road repairs years sooner than would be possible without bonding.
County-wide
Priorities of
the New Plan
Through many months of intense discussion and
public input, the following Measure C Extension
funding program commitments were developed
and agreed upon by the Executive Committee
and the TWG. The Committees recognized
that providing Measure C funds for all modes
of transportation would help meet the quality
of life needs of all Fresno County residents,
thus enabling each of the 16 agencies within
the County to address the specific needs
of their residents, businesses, and major
industries over the 30-year life of the Measure.
16 The new Plan will: Provide a minimum
of 51.37% of the Measure to the 15 cities
and Fresno County to maintain and
improve neighborhood and community
streets and roads. Further, it will fund
public transit, regional highways, street
and road improvements, and other
transportation programs that improve
mobility while reducing greenhouse gas
emissions and improving air quality for
all residents throughout Fresno County.
The Plan is committed to “Fix-it First”,
“No Neighborhood Left Behind” and
“Improve Safety” principles.
The Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan
program allocations are detailed in Table 2.
Implementing Guidelines for each of the
seven Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan
programs are available on the Authority’s
website in early June 2022 at:
www.measurecrenewal.com
table 2
Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan
Allocation of Funding by Program
Details regarding each of the seven programs are provided below. Appendix B provides the amount of Measure C Renewal funding each local agency is expected to receive over the 30-year period.

Total 100% 6,835,044,756
1 Percentages Rounded to the nearest whole number.
17 Local and
Neighborhood
Street Repair and
Maintenance
$3.511 billion or 51.37%
A significant increase in funding for our local
street networks including neighborhood streets
is clearly the greatest need expressed during the
public engagement process and in the two opinion
surveys. In fact, nearly 81% of those surveyed
county-wide strongly agreed that repairing roads
and fixing potholes was their highest priority.
The goal of this program is to improve each of the
individual cities’ and the County’s unincorporated
areas and communities pavement condition index
or PCI from the current County-wide average of
57 (just above the “Poor” category) to 70, which
is within the “Good” category. Improvements that
will be made by the 15 cities and Fresno County to
address the goal include:
• Fixing potholes with long lasting repairs.
• Repaving streets.
• Keeping good roads in good condition
through the strategic application of
preventative maintenance strategies.
• Ensuring that all neighbors, especially
those in disadvantaged areas, see
improvements to their local roads.
• Measuring and monitoring
progress towards the 70 PCI goal.
• Providing additional resources
to areas of very low income.
These expenditures would address one of the
most troubling transportation problems for
local agencies; how to fund improvements that
address the aging street and road infrastructure
while at the same time preserving roads that are
currently in good condition.
A minimum base of $100,000 per year shall
be allocated to each agency under the Local &
Neighborhood Street Repair & Maintenance
Program. Every agency that receives Local
Street Repair Program funding must allocate
no less than 30% of their allocation, as
determined on a 5-year rolling average,
on areas within their jurisdiction that are
disadvantaged using the highest 25% census
tracks based on CalEnviro Screen 4.0 and
areas with a median income of less than 80%
of the statewide median. Restriction remains
in effect until the Agency's average PCI for
the Disadvantaged Areas reaches 65. Once the
average PCI of 65 is met, that 30% restriction
is suspended, as long as those areas do not fall
below a PCI of 65 in subsequent years. Agencies
must still continue to invest in those areas in
order to raise the overall PCI to 70.
When the overall PCI of the streets within a
jurisdiction either exceeds 80, or the lowest PCI
on any street within the jurisdiction is 70 or
higher, Local and Neighborhood Street Repair and
Maintenance program funds in excess of what is
needed to maintain street condition above a PCI of
70 may be utilized as Local Control program funds.
1 18
Local Control
$1.209 billion or 17.64%
This program provides the local agencies
flexible funding to address their most pressing
unfunded or underfunded transportation needs
within their jurisdictions. These funds would
be used for a variety of purposes including:
• Repair sidewalks to create safe routes
to school and increase accessibility
for people with disabilities.
• Supplement Active Transportation
(bike, pedestrian and trails systems) projects.
• Further improve public transit services.
• Eliminate bottlenecks on local streets where
road improvements are not complete.
• Address environmental sustainability and other
important transportation improvements.
The local agencies in Fresno County know
what their needs are and how best to address
those needs. This plan empowers them to
make these critical choices for their residents
and businesses.
Implementation of Opportunity Corridors is an
eligible expense within the Measure C Renewal
Local Control Program. In addition, certain
elements of Opportunity Corridors may also be
eligible within the Urban and Rural Transit, Safe
Bikes and Pedestrians, Major Roads and Highways,
and Environment Sustainability Programs.
Urban and Rural
Public Transit
$812 million or 11.88%
The goal is to improve public transit programs that
provide essential mobility services to residents
who do not have options, and for people who
may have access to a vehicle but prefer to utilize
transit; improve air quality, reduce greenhouse
gas emissions, and help avoid congestion.
Transit provides essential services to those
who have no or limited options. This plan
will allow for reduced transit fares for seniors,
students, veterans and people with disabilities.
It is critical that we ensure the most flexible,
reliable, predictable, and affordable transit
services are available for the transit dependent.
Measure C Renewal funding is provided to the
three (3) transit agencies within the county
(Fresno Area Express, Clovis Transit, and the
Fresno County Rural Transit Agency). The
transit agencies would use the funds to:
• Add routes as demand increases.
• Reduced transit fares for seniors, students,
veterans and people with disabilities.
• Acquire low or zero emission buses.
• Provide night and weekend
service as demand dictates.
• Provide safe, clean, and strategically
located bus shelters.
• Provide safer access to public transit services.
2 3
19 The transit agencies would also
apply the Measure funds to provide:
• “Free or reduced fare bus service” to seniors,
students, and people with disabilities.
• Provide new and innovative mobility for
seniors, students, and people with disabilities.
• Implement innovative lower cost transit
solutions for un-served or under-served areas.
• “Subsidized taxi scrip” to seniors
(65 years or older) and people with
disabilities resulting in better service to
those with special transportation needs and
the growing aging population in Fresno County.
Transit funding is a significant part of the state
and federal transportation funding programs.
This has been an established trend that is
increasing over time. Measure C funding
should be utilized to the largest extent
possible to leverage these funding sources.
Safe Bikes and
Pedestrians
Including Safe Routes To
School and Access For
People With Disabilities
$75.5 million or 1.22%
Improvements to the existing and planned
pedestrian, trail, bicycle and Safe Routes to
School systems have gained prominence around
the State and within Fresno County. There are
significant opportunities for funding these types
of projects using state and federal funds.
In addition, as with the current Measure, all
streets funded by Measure C must have
shoulders that accommodate bike lanes. With a
few exceptions, these types of projects are very
low cost when compared to vehicular projects.
Measure C funding in this program should be
utilized to the largest extent possible to enhance
safety, increase availability and leverage these
State and Federal funding sources.
Major Road and
Highways, Safety
Improvement And
Congestion Relief
$997.7 million or 14.60%
The core of the urban and suburban freeway
and expressway system has been completed,
and many improvements to rural highways
have been accomplished during the 1986 and
2006 Measure programs.
Future improvements to the State Highway
System need to be focused on:
• Improving safety.
• Reducing and avoiding future congestion.
• Increasing sustainability.
• Focusing on multimodal operational
improvements such as auxiliary lanes,
freeway interchange improvements,
metering projects, demand management,
and Smart Corridor concepts that maximize
capacity of existing facilities.
4 5
20 These projects provide for the movement of
goods, services, and people throughout the
county, as well as accommodating goods
movement from Fresno County industries to
the rest of the State and the nation. Because
this proposed Measure has a duration of 30
years, the Executive Committee and the TWG
agreed to identify a 15-year improvement
program, with the second 15 years to be
addressed near the midpoint of the Measure.
This second 15-year plan will be developed
after an evaluation of future needs as well as
an extensive public engagement process.
Major highlights of this Regional Program include:
• Approximately $998 million or 14.60% for
regionally significant street and highway
improvements has been divided between
the Urban and Rural areas of the county
with approximately $749 million or 75% to
the urban areas of Fresno and Clovis and
approximately $249 million or 25%, to the
remainder of the county (other cities and the
county unincorporated area). This funding
split generally reflects the relative populations
and needs of the urban and rural area.
• $35 million will be invested in improvements
to Fresno Yosemite International (FYI) Airport.
This program relies heavily on leveraged
funding from various sources including the
State Transportation Improvement Program,
the State Highway Operations and Protection
Program, the State Local Partnership Program,
federal grants, and the Regional Transportation
Mitigation Fee Program (RTMF). Overall, it
is anticipated that these programs will add
another $1.5 billion in funding to the nearly
$1 billion of Measure C funding included in
this Measure. Further, it is expected that there
will also be some Local Development Fees
included on some of these projects.
The RTMF requires that new growth and
development within the county and each of the
cities contribute to regional street and highway
project costs. The RTMF program was originally
established during the current Measure C
program and will be continued under this
Measure. The purpose of this RTMF Program
is to ensure that growth and development
pay their fair share of impacts to the county’s
transportation facilities. The RTMF is discussed
in more detail later in this Plan.
Environmental
Sustainability
$144 million or 2.00%
This program’s goal is to improve air quality
and greenhouse gas emissions by:
• Reducing Vehicle Miles Traveled though support
of Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and
Opportunity Corridors (OC). TOD projects
help support developments that will increase
demand for transit though higher density and
mixed use. OC projects also support higher
density and mixed-use developments through
conversion of existing auto-centric streets into
multimodal streetscapes.
6 21
• Clean Energy.
• Travel Choice.
• Future Technologies.
• Litter Abatement.
• Opportunity Corridors.
Rather than identify a specific amount for each of
these subprograms for the life of the Measure, this
Renewal Expenditure Plan will allow the FCTA
Board to make that determination every two (2)
years as a part of the Measure C Expenditure
Plan Update. For the initial two years of the
Environmental Sustainability Program the split
between these subprograms will be:
Subprogram Percent of Funding
1 Transit Oriented Development and Opportunity Corridors 0.66% 2 Clean Energy 0.32%
3 New Technology Projects 0.59%
4 Travel Choice 0.29%
5 Litter Abatement 0.15%
Total 2%
22 Administration/
Planning
$86.06 million or 1.30%
Measure C funding is provided to
the Authority and Fresno COG to:
• Prepare Expenditure Plan
updates and amendments.
• Develop and administer allocation
program requirements.
• Administer and conduct specified activities
identified in the other six programs described
above including increased oversight and
performance monitoring.
Compliance with the
California Environmental
Quality Act
The Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan is not
a “project” under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) and, therefore, is exempt
from CEQA review. The Plan is designed to
provide a funding mechanism for potential future
projects and programs related to the Authority’s
provision of transportation funding and services.
However, the Authority is not approving the
construction of any projects that may result
in a direct or indirect physical change in the
environment; future voter approval is required
prior to establishing any funding mechanism as
set forth in Measure C Enabling Legislation; and
all appropriate state and federal environmental
reviews will be required and completed prior
to any future approval of specific projects.
Measure C
Extension
Plan Projects
Project Commitments
Major Road & Highways,
Safety Improvement and
Congestion Relief Program
Urban and Rural Programs
This section identifies priority regional streets and
highway improvement projects to be implemented
over the life of the Measure C Renewal Program.
These projects will be funded with Measure C
and other transportation funding. Major Road &
Highways, Safety Improvement and Congestion
Relief Program (MR&H) projects are defined
as those of regional significance. These projects
tend to be on the State highway system, as those
facilities are regional by nature; however MR&H
Program projects can also include projects on
major local arterials that serve more than one city
or area of the county.
7 23
Fresno Yosemite Airport (FYI) is also included
as a regional facility as it facilitates passenger
and freight travel throughout the county as
well as surrounding counties.
Because the duration of this Measure is 30
years, the MR&H Program has been split into
two periods; years 1–15, and years 16–30.
This program split provides a number of
specific benefits:
• It is difficult to determine a comprehensive
list of all regional transportation needs 30+
years into the future. This split approach
allows a focus on the first 15 years in order
to establish a firm need, and a second 15
years that can be flexible.
• It is equally difficult to project 30+ years
of revenue. The program split will allow
the Authority and Fresno COG to more
accurately predict the first 15 years of
revenue and will initiate a “real time”
assessment of the second 15 years of
funding availability in 2041 for review
and acceptance in 2042.
• Transportation innovations have tended to
occur at the micro level rather than at the
macro. However, macro changes are possible
and may be likely. A mid-program review will
allow the Authority and Fresno COG, guided
by an extensive public engagement effort and
input from the 16 local agencies, to adjust
the list of projects for the second 15 years to
better reflect future transportation needs.
The funding projections for the
Measure are provided in Table 3.

24 The funding split between the urban and rural
subprograms was based on population, and on
the relative highway, street, and road needs of
those areas as described in the Table.
This Expenditure Plan contains Tier 1 Urban
and Rural Project lists for the County (reference
Tables 4 and 5). The Tier 1 projects are included
in the initial 15 years of the Measure C Renewal
program while the Tier 2 lists are projects
potentially eligible for funding in the second
15 years of the Measure C Renewal program.
Tier 1 Urban and Rural lists are both committed
by approximately 20%. This allows the most
significant priorities for the urban and rural
areas to begin the project delivery process
during the first 15-year period.
It is possible that additional as yet unidentified
funding may become available. The region
should have projects “shovel-ready” to
take advantage of these types of funding
opportunities. Should additional funding not
materialize, these projects would be eligible
for bonding of second period revenues.
A live link to the Measure C Projects
interactive map is provided below or head to:
https://bit.ly/measurecrenewal-interactive-map.
View Map
Tier 1 projects are shown in Figures 2 and 3.
Tier 2 Project Lists can be found in Tables 6
and 7. The Tier 2 lists provide priority projects
that will be considered for Measure C Renewal
along with other state, federal and local
funding in the second half of the Measure
(years 16–30). The Tier 2 total costs currently
exceed anticipated funding in the second half
of the Measure; and may be revised to reflect
future project priorities as they are identified
through the RTP/SCS planning process and
through the Authority’s and Fresno COG’s
public engagement process.
The Expenditure Plan also contains $35
million for improvements at FYI Airport.
Fresno COG and the Authority will conduct
biennial MR&H Program reviews and
updates, the purpose of which will be to
ascertain project delivery status as well as
validity of funding availability. Adjustments to
delivery schedules and funding contributions
may be necessary as a part of these updates.
No later than June 30, 2027, Fresno COG and
the Authority will identify projects from the Tier
1 lists for the first seven years of the Measure
C Renewal Program. These projects will be
selected based on relative priority, deliverability,
and cash flow. No later than June 30, 2034,
Fresno COG and the Authority will identify
projects from the Tier 1 lists for years 7–15 of the
Measure C Renewal programs; again, based on
relative priorities, deliverability, and cash flow.
25 Beginning no later than 2041, Fresno
COG and the Authority will conduct a
comprehensive public engagement process
to help guide the effort to establish the list of
projects to be funded during the second half
of the Measure. No later than 2042, Fresno
COG and the Authority will adopt a list of
Urban and Rural projects to be funded
during the second half of the Measure.
Construction of the Major Road and Highway
Safety Improvement and Congestion Relief
Program projects and implemenation of the
local streets and roads and other programs
identified in the Expenditure Plan are needed
as soon as possible. In order to accomplish
this, some level of borrowing may be required.
The Authority will determine the extent of
borrowing that is reasonable as the program
is implemented. Up to $900 million (13%) of
the revenues expected to be generated will be
made available for this purpose.
Program Management
If approved by the voters, this Measure C
Renewal will require substantially more
monitoring, analysis, and reporting than the
current Measure. The Authority may seek the
assistance of a program management firm and/
or additional staff. The primary responsibility
of enhanced program management would be
to assist with the development and monitoring
of performance measures as discussed in
the Renewal Expenditure Plan and in these
Implementing Guidelines. Enhanced Program
Management could also include managing
projects contained within the Major Roads
and Highways, Safety Improvement and
Congestion Relief Program, and other
responsibilities necessary for efficient and
effective implementation of the various
programs. Enhanced program management
responsibilities are part of program
and project delivery and separate
from Program Administration.
Regional Transportation
Mitigation Fee
(RTMF) Program
The 2006 Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan
set forth requirements related to implementation
of the Regional Transportation Mitigation
Fee (RTMF) Program. The 2006 Measure C
ballot included requirements for local Fresno
County cities and the county (local agencies) to
implement Regional Transportation Mitigation
Fees pursuant to California Government Code
Sections 66000, et seq. and remit the proceeds to
the FCTA to supplement construction of projects
in the Regional Transportation program. The
ballot also included enforcement mechanisms
to ensure all Fresno County local agencies
participated in the program. In response
to those requirements, and to implement
a consistent regional fee, the local agencies
formed a Joint Powers Agency (JPA), Fresno
County Regional Transportation Mitigation Fee
Agency (FCRTMFA), pursuant to California
Government Code Sections 6500, et seq.
26 This Measure Renewal provides for the
continuation of the RTMF program established
by the 2006 Measure, including all local agency
enforcement mechanisms, the perpetuation of
the Fresno County RTMF Agency through the
life of the Measure and all adopted policies and
agreements currently in effect pertaining to
the mitigation fee program. The Measure also
recognizes that mitigation fees are governed
by State law, which changes from time to time,
and stipulates implementation of the program
shall remain in compliance with California law.
California statute currently requires a major
update to the NEXUS in 2028, which will revisit
how the fee has been spent on current projects,
consideration of future projects, adjustments to
rates, and all other legal program requirements.
The Authority, consistent with the adopted and
updated Measure C Expenditure Plan, shall have
the authority and flexibility to allocate the RTMF
based upon regional priority need within the
county as defined by the biannual update of the
Major Roads & Highways, Safety Improvement
and Congestion Relief Program consistent with
State law governing impact mitigation fees.
No later than June 30, 2027, all Measure C
agencies must extend the RTMF JPA established
as a part of the second Measure C, consistent
with Section 7 of the JPA Agreement. If any
city or Fresno County should choose to not
implement the RTMF, that agency shall forfeit
annually from the Local Control Program,
an amount equal to the amount of RTMF
that would otherwise have been paid for
development projects within that jurisdiction
during the year. If an agency chooses to not
implement the RTMF, that agency shall notify
the Authority of such decision and shall file
an advisory report with the Authority for each
development indicating the amount of RTMF
that would have been paid. The Authority shall
make a total calculation of RTMF obligation
on an annual basis and deduct the appropriate
amount of funds for the RTMF from the Local
Control Program allocation for that agency.

41 Citizen
Oversight
Committee
A Citizen Oversight Committee (COC) was
established as a part of the 2006 Measure. That
committee’s efforts have been helpful in analyzing
local agency conformance to Expenditure Plan
requirements. Each year their findings are an
important part of the Measure C Annual Report.
This proposed Measure will continue efforts of
the COC with a number of key changes to help
increase local agency accountability for Measure
C funds spent, and to make it easier to ensure that
all COC seats remain filled during the duration
of the Measure (reference the Implementing
Guidelines available online in June 2022 at
www.measurecrenewal.com).
Additional responsibilities and minor changes
to COC membership are also included in the
Implementing Guidelines. COC responsibilities
generally include the following:
• Receive, review, inspect, and recommend
action on independent financial and
performance audits related to the planning
and implementation of the Measure C
Extension program.
• Receive, review, and recommend action
on other periodic reports, studies, and
plans from responsible agencies including
the Authority, Fresno COG, the Cities, the
County or other agencies. Such reports,
studies and plans must be directly related to
Measure C Extension programs, revenues,
or expenditures.
• Review and comment upon Measure C
Extension expenditures to ensure that they
are consistent with the Expenditure Plan.
• Annually review how sales tax receipts are
being spent and publicize the results.
• Present committee recommendations,
findings, and requests to the public and
the Authority in a formal annual report.
42 Administration
Fresno County Transportation
Authority Structure
Under the Measure C
Renewal Extension Program
The Authority will continue to administer the
Measure C Renewal Extension Program in
compliance with its special enabling legislation.
If the Measure C Extension is approved by Fresno
County voters in November 2022, the Authority
will continue to be responsible for administering
the Measure C Programs in accordance with
plans and programs outlined in the Renewal
Expenditure Plan and subsequent updates of the
Plan. In addition, the enabling legislation includes
provision for a Citizen Oversight Committee
(COC). The COC was formed in 2007 under the
current Measure Program. Details regarding the
Committee are contained in the Implementing
Guidelines. The Expenditure Plan will continue
to be prepared by the Authority and Fresno COG
and approved by the Fresno COG Policy Board
and by the Authority.
The enabling legislation requires that the Authority
be represented by nine (9) members including:
• Two (2) members of the Board of Supervisors
appointed by the board, consisting of one (1)
member from Rural district 1, 4, or 5 and one
(1) member from Urban district 2 or 3.
• Two (2) members representing the City of
Fresno, consisting of the mayor thereof and
a member of the city council of that city
appointed by the city council.
• One (1) member representing the City of
Clovis appointed by the city council of that city.
• Two (2) members representing the other
cities within the county, consisting of one (1)
Westside member appointed by a committee
comprised of the mayor or each of those
cities west of State Route 99, and one (1)
Eastside member appointed by a committee
comprised of the mayors of each of those
cities east of State Route 99.
• Two (2) members of the public-at-large,
consisting of one member appointed by the
board of supervisors with the appointee
residing outside of the incorporated areas
of Fresno and Clovis, and one member
appointed jointly by the cities of Fresno and
Clovis with the appointee residing within
the incorporated area of Fresno or Clovis.
43 The 2006 Measure C Extension added two new
members to the Authority Board. These two
positions were identified as “Public Members-atLarge” with one seat identified as urban and one as rural. The urban member was to be appointed
jointly by the City of Fresno and City of Clovis,
while the rural member was to be appointed
by the Fresno County Board of Supervisors.
It has been difficult to keep the urban seat
filled. Under this proposed Measure C Renewal
Program, the urban member appointment
will remain the responsibility of the two cities
and the rural member appointment will be
the responsibility of the Board of Supervisors.
However, if either position remains unfilled for
nine (9) consecutive months, said member(s) will
be appointed by the Authority Executive Director.
An appointee of the Executive Director will serve
a full term, after which the responsible agencies
will have an opportunity to choose the successor.
As with the current Measure C Program,
the goal of the Authority and Fresno COG
will be to continue to fulfill the Promise of
Measure C by delivering projects.
Plan Update and
Approval Processes
Regional Transportation Plan and
Sustainable Communities Strategies
In compliance with schedules mandated in
federal and State law, Fresno COG regularly
prepares the Regional Transportation Plan/
Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS)
every four (4) years that updates and renews a
list of candidate projects for all transportation
modes (streets, highways, public transportation,
bikeways, aviation, etc.). If funds are available
for any projects beyond those listed in
the Renewal Expenditure Plan, they will
be drawn from that list. As stated before,
all updates of the Renewal Expenditure Plan
will be subject to public review and public
hearings. While these candidate projects may
change and priorities for funding may occur,
there are more than enough project needs
within the County to be addressed using
all types of funding, including Measure C.
It will be vital during development of each
Expenditure Plan Update to consider financing
all transportation modes in order to ensure a
balanced and efficient transportation system.
All of the projects and programs included in
the Expenditure Plan are considered essential to
meet the transportation needs of Fresno County.
Measure C Expenditure Plan Update
Fresno COG preforms a biennial update of the
approved Expenditure Plan. Fresno COG and
Authority staff work with member agencies and
affected stakeholders to review and update the
Expenditure Plan taking into consideration the
status of project delivery, funding availability,
and performance indicators. The Fresno COG
Policy Board receives the Draft Expenditure
Plan and its updates and schedules public
hearings to review the Plan. After adoption of
any Expenditure Plan updates by the Policy
Board, the Plan is transmitted to the Authority
for their consideration and approval.
44 Strategic Implementation Plan
The Authority will prepare a Strategic
Implementation Plan which provides
detailed guidance to local agencies on the
use of Measure C funds. The Authority
updates this plan every two years.
Expenditure Plan Amendments
Fresno COG has the primary responsibility
for initiating official amendments of the
Expenditure Plan. Fresno COG prepares
proposed amendments to be considered by the
COG Policy Board. Amendments approved by
the Policy Board are then transmitted to the
Authority for consideration. If approved by the
Authority Board, amendments are incorporated
into the Expenditure Plan.
The Authority Board may also initiate Expenditure
Plan amendments. The Authority shall take
all appropriate actions to give highest priority
to the projects and programs in the approved
Expenditure Plan, and if any amendments delay or
delete any project in the initial plan, the Authority
shall hold a public hearing and adopt a resolution
initiating the amendments.
The Authority shall notify Fresno COG,
the Board of Supervisors, and the city council
of each city in the county and provide them
with a copy of the proposed amendments.
The amendment is then approved by the
Board of Supervisors and then approved by a
majority of the cities constituting a majority of
the population residing in the incorporated
areas of the county. The proposed amendments
shall become effective immediately upon
completion of the approval process.
Independent Financial Audits
Currently, the Authority annually commissions
independent financial audits of the Measure C
programs and receipts. If the Measure is renewed
by the voters, the Authority would continue
to conduct independent financial audits
consistent with its enabling legislation.
Bonding
The FCTA Board may consider bonding
of future revenues if project needs, and
deliverability exceed cash flow. Bonding will
not be used until first determining that the
benefits of accelerated project or program
delivery outweigh the additional cost of
interest on narrowed funds.

5 Introduction
and Purpose
These Implementing Guidelines have been
prepared to help guide implementation of
the Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan.
The Renewal Expenditure Plan was prepared to
specify how the slightly more than $6.84 billion
in transportation funds, generated through
continuation of Fresno County’s half-cent
transportation sales tax over the next 30 years,
will be allocated to the various transportation
programs. Specifically, these Guidelines will
ensure that promises made to Fresno County
voters will be kept through a set of requirements
specific to each Expenditure Plan Program.
Following approval of the Renewal
Expenditure Plan and these Guidelines
and beginning in 2027 and every two (2)
years thereafter, the Measure C Renewal
Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) will
be prepared. The SIP will further detail
implementation requirements, provide more
specifics regarding actual Measure C Renewal
proceeds by program, amendments to these
Guidelines, reporting, monitoring, claims and
disbursement processes, and provide further
clarity on project eligibility, performance
indicators and measures. The Guidelines
will aid the Fresno County Transportation
Authority (FCTA or Authority), Fresno
Council of Governments (Fresno COG),
sixteen (16) local agencies, and other
responsible agencies with information
including the following:
• General purpose of each Measure C
Renewal Program.
• Implementing agencies or those agencies
responsible for implementing the Renewal
Program and eligible to receive associated
Measure C funding.
• Important definitions of related program
requirements, methods, or other processes.
• The percentage of Measure C Renewal
funding and the initial amount of funding
allocated to each Renewal Program.
• Other requirements specific
to each Renewal Program.
• The list of eligible projects for which
Measure C Renewal funding can be claimed.
Guideline Amendments
Revisions or amendments to these
Implementing Guidelines shall follow the
same amendment process established for the
Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan under
Administration, Expenditure Plan Amendments.
Program Management
If approved by the voters, this Measure C
Renewal will require substantially more
monitoring, analysis, and reporting than the
current Measure. The Authority may seek the
assistance of a program management firm and/
or additional staff. The primary responsibility
of enhanced program management would be
to assist with the development and monitoring
of performance measures as discussed in
the Renewal Expenditure Plan and in these
6 Implementing Guidelines. Enhanced Program
Management could also include managing
projects contained within the Major Roads and
Highways, Safety Improvement and Congestion
Relief Program, and other responsibilities
necessary for efficient and effective
implementation of the various programs.
Enhanced program management responsibilities
are part of program and project delivery and
separate from Program Administration.
Performance Indicators
and Measurements
Once the Measure C Renewal Plan and
Implementing Guidelines have been approved
by Fresno COG and adopted by the Authority,
staff will begin working with each of the local
and other interested agencies and individuals to
develop performance measures specific to each
of the Renewal Programs. These Guidelines
include identification of performance indicators
for each Renewal Program. Subcommittees will
be formed to further identify indicators and to
develop performance measures for each of the
Renewal Programs.
Collection of data will be key to measuring
performance and evaluating trends.
Transportation data will also be useful for
agencies or groups involved in transportation
research. In addition to the data collected for
performance indicators and measures, there
will be other data requirements that will be
included in the SIP.
Reporting Requirements
• Agencies will submit to the Authority on an
annual basis the list of completed projects
that utilized Measure C Renewal Program
funding for some or all of the project costs.
• Agencies that utilize some or all of the
Local Control Program funds for services
will identify how these funds were used as a
part of their annual report to the Authority.
• Other required reporting and monitoring
requirements will be included in the Renewal
Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP).
Local Hiring Preference
Measure C funded projects provide direct
and indirect economic benefits to the County
through investments in infrastructure and
related economic activities associated with
construction projects. Measure C projects
will provide good paying jobs to Fresno
County businesses and residents. FCTA and
Fresno COG, working in connection with the
member agencies, will develop reasonable local
hiring and contracting goals to help insure
those benefits are maximized. These goals
will be included in the Measure C Strategic
Implementation Plan prior to July 1, 2027.
Measure C Renewal
Expenditure Plan Programs
The following sections include details regarding
each of the individual Renewal Programs. Each
program has a different set of requirements and
processes given the transportation needs and
7 goals each are to address over the next 30-years.
Programs included in these Guidelines include
the following:
Local and Neighborhood
Street Repair and
Maintenance Program
The Local and Neighborhood Street Repair and
Maintenance program is intended to bring the
road systems within the 15 incorporated cities
and the rural unincorporated areas of Fresno
County, including arterials, collectors, and
neighborhood streets, to an average Pavement
Condition Index (PCI) of 70, which is within
the “Good” category as measured by engineers
though a Pavement Management System
(PMS), which is defined as a set of procedures
for collecting, analyzing, maintaining, and
reporting pavement data, to assist decision
makers in finding optimum strategies for
maintaining pavements in serviceable condition
over a given period of time for the least cost.
Local Control Program
The 16 local agencies (cities and the county)
in Fresno County will utilize these funds
to address their highest priority unique
transportation needs including improved safety,
enhanced public transit services, additional
local street and highway maintenance and
other street and road improvements, pedestrian,
trail, and bicycle facilities improvements, safe
routes to school improvements, and other
transportation services and programs.
Urban and Rural Public
Transit Program
The Urban and Rural Public Transit Program
will address public transit systems and services
throughout the County including Fresno Area
Express (FAX), Clovis Transit, and the Fresno
County Rural Transit Agency (FCRTA).
Safe Bikes and
Pedestrians Program
Including Safe Routes to School &
Access for People with Disabilities
This program will address improvements and
safety enhancements for bicyclists and pedestrians,
including students, seniors and people with
disabilities, as well as other related improvements.
Major Roads and Highways,
Safety Improvement and
Congestion Relief Program
This program will address the funding and
implementation of projects in the Urban (Clovis
and Fresno Spheres of Influence) and Rural
(remaining County and rural incorporated cities)
areas. Such projects will be located along the
State Highway System and along major corridors
to enhance connections within the urban area
and between the cities and rural communities
throughout the County.
Environmental
Sustainability Program
This Program includes clean transportation
projects and programs, transit-oriented
development and Opportunity Corridor projects,
and other projects that will improve air quality,
address climate change and improve health.
8 Administration Program
This program includes administration and
planning activities of the Fresno County
Transportation Authority (Authority) and the
Fresno Council of Governments.
Specifics regarding the Citizen Oversight
Committee are also included at the end of
these Guidelines.
1 Local &
Neighborhood
Street Repair &
Maintenance
Purpose
The Local and Neighborhood Street Repair
and Maintenance Program (Local Street Repair
Program) is intended to bring the road systems
within the 15 incorporated cities and the
rural unincorporated areas of Fresno County,
including arterials, collectors, and neighborhood
streets, to an average Pavement Condition Index
(PCI) of 70, which is within the “Good” category.
Repairing, rebuilding, and maintaining the road
system will have long-term benefits for future
generations of Fresno County residents. A road
system in “Good” condition is very economical
to maintain with a 2022 estimated cost of $4.50
per square yard (SY) of pavement. Allowing our
road system to remain in Fair or Poor condition
has a much higher cost of $22 to $60 per SY.
The current countywide PCI is approximately
60 and raising it to a PCI of 70 will cost
approximately $3.2 billion over 20 years.
If this goal is not accomplished within 20 years,
the cost will escalate, primarily due to more
roadways falling into disrepair.
In order to reach this average PCI goal, agencies
must also perform preventative maintenance
to prevent roads in “Good” condition from
degrading into “Fair” or “Poor” condition.
The $3.2 billion cost includes funding for
preventative maintenance treatments for roads
currently in good condition, as well as funds for
rebuilding failing roads.
Eligible Agencies
Eligibility is limited to the 15 incorporated cities
and Fresno County. Distribution of these funds is
based on a formula of 78% population and 22%
road miles. Fresno COG will be eligible for the cost
associated with performing the triennial Pavement
Management System surveys and reports.
Program Implementation
Each agency must determine how to manage
their road systems using a combination of road
repair and preventative maintenance strategies.
In order to assist with that effort, a triennial
countywide pavement condition survey (PCS)
will be conducted, with the results furnished
to each agency. Funding for these surveys will
come from this Local Street Repair Program.
The agencies will then be required to develop
an annual Capital Improvement Program that
addresses their pavement repair and maintenance
9 strategies (updated triennially in conjunction
with the pavement survey). These 5-year Capital
Improvement Programs will be submitted to
FCTA as they are updated. Development and
implementation of the pavement repair strategies
is an eligible expense within this Local Street
Repair Program.
The FCTA Board will use these plans and the
triennial pavement survey to evaluate progress
towards the 70 PCI goal.
Independent financial audits of the Local
Street Repair Program will be performed
annually to verify that funds were expended
consistent with these Program requirements.
Agencies found to be out of compliance may
be subject to withholding of Program funds
until appropriate reimbursements are made.
Every 3 years there will be a compliance
evaluation where jurisdictions must show
how they have spent their Local Street Repair
Program funds, however, agencies are allowed
accumulate funds for up to 6-years if needed
for match purposes or for a large project.
If an agency is not in compliance with the 6-year
requirement, the Authority may withhold funds
until the jurisdiction is compliant. Repeated noncompliance may be subject to reallocation of funds as determined by the Authority Board.
Performance Indicators
Performance indicators include,
but are not limited to the following:
• Pavement Condition Index (PCI).
• Funds expended consistent with Local
Street Repair Program requirements.
• Percentage of funds expended
in disadvantaged areas.
• Amount of funds bonded and advanced.
• Lane miles paved by classification (arterial,
collector, neighborhood street).
• Timely use of funds.
• Matching funds obtained.
Definitions
Funding within the Local Street Repair
Program must be utilized exclusively for street
maintenance, repair, or rehabilitation as defined
by Assembly Bill (AB) 2928 language for local
agency allocations under Proposition 42:
• Funds allocated to a city, county..... shall be
used only for street and highway maintenance,
rehabilitation, reconstruction, and storm
damage repair. For purposes of this section, the
following terms have the following meanings:
▪ "Maintenance" means either
or both of the following:
- Patching.
- Overlay and sealing.
10 "Reconstruction" includes any overlay, sealing,
or widening of the roadway, if the widening is
necessary to bring the roadway width to the
desirable minimum width consistent with the
geometric design criteria of the department
for 3-R (reconstruction, resurfacing, and
rehabilitation) projects that are not on a
freeway but does not include widening for
the purpose of increasing the traffic capacity
of a street or highway.
"Storm damage repair" is repair or reconstruction
of local streets and highways and related drainage
improvements that have been damaged due to
winter storms and flooding, and reconstruction
of drainage improvements to mitigate future
roadway flooding and damage problems,
in those jurisdictions that have been declared
disaster areas by the President of the United States.
These Local Street Repair Program funds
are limited to repairs and maintenance on
the existing roadway and shoulder structural
section. Repairs to adjacent curb and gutter
can be included where necessary to maintain
proper street drainage. Installation of new
sidewalks, bike lanes, or curbs and gutters
are not eligible under this Program. Repairs
to existing public sidewalks may be included
within adjacent street repairs provided such
repairs are necessary to address ADA path of
travel or pedestrian safety issues associated with
tree-damaged sidewalks. Said sidewalk repairs
cannot exceed 20% of the over cost of the street
repair project. Installation of new sidewalks,
bike lanes, or curbs and gutters are not eligible
under this Program. However, other funding
sources including non-Measure C funding or
Measure C funding from the Local Control
Program can be combined with these Local
Street Repair Program funds in order to address
the entire roadway prism under one project.
It is highly recommended that this “combined
funding” approach be utilized whenever
feasible in order to provide the best overall
complete street system for neighborhoods and
to reduce overall costs though combining work
under a single contract.
Roadway restriping in order to repurpose
existing travel lanes for bicycle facilities as a part
of a pavement repair project is allowable as long
as it does not increase the overall paved width.
Funding Allocation
The Local Streets Repair Program consists of
51% of Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan
revenues estimated to be $3.5 billion over the 30-
year Measure. This slightly exceeds the projected
pavement repair need of $3.2 billion by $300
million; however, the $3.2 billion cost was based
on reaching a PCI of 70 within 20 years, while the
$3.5 billion in revenue will occur over 30 years.
The Authority Board will consider bonding of
future revenues to accelerate this effort; and will
encourage local agencies to consider bonding or
borrowing options in order to advance this work.
The $3.5 billion is intended to reflect potential
bonding costs, as well as the fact it may take
longer than 20 years to reach the 70 PCI target.
11 Funding Allocation Process
A minimum base of $100,000 per year shall be
allocated to each agency, and then the annual
78% population / 22% road mile formula
would be applied to determine the total funding
allocation by local agency under this Program.
Other Requirements
Every agency that receives Local Street Repair
Program funding must allocate no less than 30%
of their allocation, as determined on a 5-year
rolling average, on areas within their jurisdiction
that are disadvantaged using the highest 25%
census tracks based on CalEnviro Screen 4.0 and
areas with a median income of less than 80%
of the statewide median. Restriction remains
in effect until the Agency's average PCI for the
Disadvantaged Areas reaches 65. Once the
average PCI of 65 is met, that 30% restriction
is suspended, as long as those areas do not fall
below a PCI of 65 in subsequent years. Agencies
must still continue to invest in those areas in
order to raise the overall PCI to 70.
When the average PCI of the streets or roads
within a jurisdiction either exceeds 80, or the
lowest PCI on any street within the jurisdiction
is 70 or higher, Local Street Repair Program
funds in excess of what is needed to maintain
street conditions above a PCI of 70 may be
utilized as Local Control Program funds.
Eligible Projects/Programs
• Street and road maintenance for publicly
owned facilities (pavement and pothole
repair, drainage improvements, other
related improvements) including:
▪ Planning and environmental analysis.
▪ Conceptual and preliminary engineering.

12 2
Local Control
Introduction/Purpose
The intent of the Local Control
Program is to recognize:
• Not every community in Fresno County has
the same transportation needs.
• Transportation needs can change over time.
• Local match funding is consistently a
requirement for transportation funding
grant programs; and the larger the match
the more competitive grant applications
typically are.
• A 30-year Measure cannot predict all of the
transportation needs within a community
over that 30-year period; agencies need
flexibility to adapt to changing needs.
This Local Control Program is intended to
give the 16 local agencies in Fresno County
flexibility to respond to each of these situations
and more. It is intended to allow each agency to
determine how to most effectively spend these
transportation dollars. These funds can be used
for projects or services that do not fit well within
the other Measure C Programs, or they can be
used to supplement those Programs if the need is
greater than the funds those Programs provide.
Implementing Agencies
Local Control Program proceeds will be
allocated to each of the 15 incorporated
cities and Fresno County.
Program Disbursement
Process/Requirements
Funding Allocation Process
Allocations made by the Authority to the local

15 3
Urban and
Rural Public
Transit
Overview/Purpose
The Urban and Rural Public Transit Program
is intended to provide funding for public
transit programs that will encourage people
to minimize single occupancy vehicle trips,
provide enhanced mobility options for seniors,
people with disabilities, and other transit
dependent individuals, and improve air quality.
Improvements to the existing and planned
transit services has gained prominence around
the State and within Fresno County. There are
significant opportunities to fund public transit
improvements using State and federal funds.
The Measure C allocation to this Program will
provide additional opportunities for the local
agencies to leverage State and federal funding.
Approximately twelve percent (12%) of
Measure C Renewal funding is provided
to fund improvements to the existing and
planned public transit systems and facilities
in the urban and rural areas of the County.
Implementing Agencies
Urban and Rural Public Transit proceeds will
be allocated to each of the following agencies:
• Clovis Transit
• Fresno Area Express (FAX)
• Fresno County Rural Transit Agency (FCRTA)
Each of the three transit providers will receive an
annual allocation of Measure C Renewal funding
for the improvement of public transit services.
Fresno COG will receive periodic funding to
update the Regional Long Range Transit Plan.
FAX and Clovis Transit are the urban
transit operators in Fresno County, while
FCRTA provides transit services within the
thirteen (13) rural incorporated cities located
outside the Fresno-Clovis metropolitan area
(FCMA), as well as inter-city transit service,
which focuses on providing transit trips
from the small, incorporated cities and the
unincorporated communities within Fresno
County to the FCMA.

to effective programs that provide measurable
results in reducing single occupant auto use,
eligible projects, programs, and services will
be evaluated in accordance the performance
indicators and measures process noted below.
• Matching funds obtained.
Urban and Rural Public Transit Operators
are required by California state law to
undergo transit performance audits every
three (3) years. In general, there are six (6)
transit performance indicators that are used
to determine how effectively and efficiently
a transit operator is operating from a fiscal
perspective. Those six (6) performances
indicators, are:
• Operating cost.
• Fare revenues.
• Vehicle service hours.
• Vehicle service miles.
• Number of passengers.
• Number of employees.
There are also nine (9) transit performance
measures, which are derived from these indicators:
• Operating cost per passenger.
• Operating cost per vehicle service hour.
• Operating cost per vehicle service mile.
• Passengers per vehicle service hour.
• Passengers per vehicle service mile.
• Farebox ratio.
• Vehicle service hours per employee.
• Vehicle service mile per vehicle service hours.
• Fare per passenger.
The results of these transit performance
measures vary significantly between the urban
and rural transit operators as their service areas
and customer base are unique. As a result, it
will be necessary to develop detailed transit
performance measures within the Strategic
Implementation Plan (SIP) that will serve as
a companion implementation document to
the Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan and
to these Guidelines. To ensure development
of quality performance measures for public
transit, it is envisioned that a Measure C Transit
Subcommittee consisting of staff from the
urban and rural transit agencies along with
FCTA, Fresno COG and member agency staff
will be formed to assist with the development
of performance measures. These and/or other
indicators, criteria or objectives will be taken into
consideration to develop performance measures
when evaluating the Urban and Rural Public
Transit Program.

Safe Bikes and
Pedestrians
Including Safe Routes
to School & Access for
People with Disabilities
Overview/Purpose
The purpose of the Safe Bike and Pedestrian
Program (hereinafter referred to as “Active
Transportation Program”) is to provide
additional funding for bike, pedestrian and
trail facilities and services, and safe routes
to schools that will increase safety, reduce
automobile trips and vehicle miles traveled
(VMT), thereby improving air quality, reducing
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and improving
health. Improvements to the existing and
planned pedestrian, trail, and bicycle systems
have gained prominence around the State and
within Fresno County. There are significant
opportunities for funding these types of projects
using State and federal funds. The Measure C
Renewal allocation to this Program will provide
additional opportunities for the local agencies to
leverage State and federal funding.
Approximately 1% of Measure C Renewal
funding is provided to fund improvements to
the existing and planned bike, pedestrian and
trail systems.
Implementing Agencies
Active Transportation Program proceeds will
be allocated to each of the agencies listed below.
Each of the cities and the County of Fresno
will receive an annual allocation of Measure C
Renewal funding for the improvement of bike
and pedestrian projects and systems. Fresno COG
will prepare the Regional Active Transportation
Plan (ATP) and FCTA will develop and apply
performance indicators and measures.
• 15 Cities.
• County of Fresno.
Fresno COG will receive periodic funding to
update the Regional Active Transportation Plan.
Disbursement Process/
Requirements
Funding Allocation Process
Allocations made by the Authority to the local
agencies will be based on the approved annual
estimate of 75% population and 25% road miles.
Inclusion of Projects
in Approved Budget or
Related Program
Active Transportation Program projects
shall be included in a local agency Fiveyear Capital Improvement Program (CIP) or Annual Expenditure Plan (AEP), or an
annual budget, or by a resolution approving
an eligible project or list of projects and/or
programs at a public hearing of each
local agency.
19 Master Plan Requirements
By January 1, 2030, all jurisdictions within
Fresno County will have updated their Active

available for pedestrians. Within these
Renewal Implementing Guidelines and in
the Renewal Expenditure Plan, they will be
referred to as Class I facilities, or bicycle or
shared use paths.
• Rural trails are not required to be Class I facilities.
Rural trails will generally be located in areas
outside of the incorporated cities. Rural
trails will typically be recreational in nature.
21 • Design guidance for rural trails is not well
defined in the HDM. These types of facilities
should follow design and construction guidance
as contained in the 2015 California State Parks
Accessibility Guidelines, or similar guidance
documents. The link is provided below.
https://www.parks.ca.gov/

funds shall be twelve (12) feet minimum in
width where physically feasible.
• Within the Fresno Clovis Metropolitan
Area, Class I facilities built with Measure C
Renewal funds shall be built so that at-grade
crossings are limited to one (1) every one-half
(1/2) mile at signalized intersections for new
developments provided that this does not
violate property owner rights.
• Class I facilities built within existing
neighborhoods shall be built so that midstreet crossings on collectors, arterials, super-arterials or expressways should
be either (a) controlled by an at-grade
pedestrian waiting mechanism, signalized
or otherwise flashing crossing or alternative
warning devices, or (b) built with a grade
separated crossing when these are warranted
due to pedestrian or bicycle safety risks.
• Up to 20% of the jurisdiction’s Active
Transportation Program allocation may be
allocated to the maintenance of Class I facilities.
• Jurisdictions shall certify to the Authority
that these guidelines have been met in the
utilization of Measure C Renewal funds.
• Class 2 bikeways (bike lanes) and Class 3
bikeways (bike routes) will be designed and
installed in accordance with the California
Highway Design Manual (HDM), Chapter
1000, Bikeway Planning and Design, and the
California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (CA MUTCD).
• Class 4 bikeways (separated bikeways/
cycletracks) will be designed and installed in
accordance with Caltrans Design Information
Bulletin 89.
• Any new or modified types of facilities are
eligible for Active Transportation Program
funding provided they are included in any
future revision of the Caltrans HDM or
related design guidance.
22 Requirements Applying to
All Facilities Utilizing Any
Measure C Program Funds
All streets and roads constructed or improved
in whole or in part with Measure C Renewal
funds shall include “Complete Street” features.
A complete street is defined as a transportation
facility that is planned, designed, constructed,
operated, and maintained to provide comfortable
and convenient mobility, and improve accessibility
and connectivity to essential community
destinations for all users, regardless of whether
they are travelling as pedestrians, bicyclists,
public transportation riders, or drivers. Streets and
roads that utilize the Local Street Repair Program
funds for maintenance and repair of streets are
encouraged to include complete street elements
that do not require additional pavement width.
• New Pedestrian Facilities
▪ Every highway, expressway, super-arterial,
arterial or collector (exempting freeways)
within the urbanized areas throughout the
County that is constructed or reconstructed
in whole or in part with Measure C Renewal
funds shall include sidewalks, paths, walkways,
or equivalent facilities on both sides
of the street, road, or highway for use by
pedestrians. Reconstruction projects
accomplished exclusively through the
Local and Neighborhood Street Repair
and Maintenance Program are exempt
from this requirement but are encouraged to
utilize other funding sources to provide these
pedestrian facilities where none currently exist.
▪ Facilities built and maintained by the State
of California and projects, which are either
for routine maintenance or traffic safety
purposes, are exempt from this requirement;
however, Caltrans should be encouraged to
implement these features where feasible and
consistent with Caltrans regulations.
▪ Expressways constructed in an urban area
can meet this requirement by including a
sidewalk, paths, walkways or equivalent
facility on one side of the roadway.
• New Bicycle Facilities
▪ Every highway, expressway, super-arterial,
arterial or collector within the County
constructed in whole or in part with
Measure C Renewal funds shall include
accommodations for bicycle travel by a
striped shoulder with a minimum width
of four feet (4’). This 4’ shoulder may be
provided as a bike lane or a cycletrack.
If an existing highway, expressway, superarterial or collector is reconstructed and said reconstruction includes pavement
widening, that project will also be subject
to this requirement. Reconstruction projects
accomplished exclusively through the Local
and Neighborhood Street Repair and
Maintenance Program are exempt from
this requirement but are encouraged to
utilize other funding sources to provide these
bicycle facilities where none currently exist.
23 ▪ Likewise, all such roadways within the
County receiving pavement reconstruction
(without pavement widening), rehabilitation
or an overlay, slurry seal, chip seal, or
seal coat funded in whole or in part with
Measure C Renewal funds shall include
accommodations for bicycle travel by a
striped shoulder with a minimum width
of four feet (4’) unless there is insufficient
pavement width. This 4’ shoulder may be
provided as a bike lane or a cycletrack.
▪ On a multilane roadway, conversion
of travel lanes to bicycle facilities is
eligible and recommended provided
the responsible agency has made a
determination that excess roadway
capacity exists and that the bicycle
facilities are allowable.
Maintained Pedestrian
or Bicycle Facilities
Any maintenance to a street, road, or highway
funded in whole or in part by Measure C Renewal
funds shall, at a minimum, maintain the existing
level of pedestrian and bicycle access, facilities
and safety features along and across the street,
road, or highway.
Exceptions to the
Requirements
The above requirements shall not apply if the
constructing agency, after a properly noticed
public hearing, determines that one (1) or
more of the exceptions listed below exists.
The public hearing notice shall include a
statement clearly declaring that the purpose of
the hearing is to review bicycle and pedestrian
facility exception(s) for a proposed project using
Measure C Renewal funds and identifying the
specific exceptions. The exceptions are:
• The provision of pedestrian and/or bicycle
access is contrary to public safety.
• An alternative route already exists, or will be
built as part of a project, which is equal or better
in terms of safety, distance and travel time.
• The cost of the facilities would be
disproportionate (exceeding 20%
of the cost of the overall project).
• Sparse population or other measurable
factors indicate an absence of need.
• Significant adverse environmental effects
would result from the inclusion of the
facilities in the project.
• Opposition by two-thirds (2/3) or more of
the property owners whose property lies
directly adjacent to the facilities.
“Constructed” is defined as the construction of
a new roadway or portion of a roadway that
did not previously exist including projects to
increase the capacity of an existing street or road.
For the purposes of this section, “Reconstructed”
is defined as the existing full improvement of an
existing roadway, but which does not include
additional lane capacity. Reconstruction may or
may not include shoulder widening.
24 For the purposes of this section “Urban Areas” is
defined as the Fresno Clovis Metropolitan Area
and the incorporated cities of Fresno County.
Flexibility if Needs Are Met
In 2032, 2037, 2042, 2047, and 2052
the Authority will review the status of all
jurisdictions’ Active Transportation Plans.
If the Authority determines at a public hearing that
a jurisdiction’s Active Transportation Plan is less
than five (5) years old when last adopted, and the
Active Transportation Plan has been completed
at each of these five-year marks, the allocation
requirements are suspended until the next
evaluation and funding will revert to the overall
Local Control Program of the local jurisdiction.
Bicycle and Pedestrian
Facilities Maintenance
“On-going Maintenance” is defined as including:
• Tree and shrub trimming, tree stake retying,
replacement, or removal.
• Fertilizing and weed control chemicals and
their application.
• Weed removal.
• Potholes, breaks in the asphalt surface, or
tree root uplifting.
• Irrigation system repair and upkeep (repair
breaks, missing heads).
• Repair or reset timers.
• Replace or repair stolen or damaged wires.
• Litter removal.
• Replace burned out light bulbs.
“On-going Maintenance” does not include:
• Resurfacing of asphalt except to do spot repairs
from things such as a broken water line.
• Restriping any median lines.
• Installing or replacing signing.
• Paying for the cost of water or electricity.
• Maintenance at adjacent trail heads or parks.

Major Roads
& Highways,
Safety
Improvement
& Congestion
Relief
Purpose
The Major Roads and Highways, Safety
Improvements and Congestion Relief Program
identifies priority regional street, road and
highway improvement projects to be implemented
over the life of the Measure C Renewal Program.
These projects will be funded with Measure C
Renewal and/or other transportation funding.
Projects within this program are considered to be
of regional significance.
Eligible Agencies
Eligible agencies for this program include the 15
incorporated cities, Fresno County, the Fresno
Council of Governments (Fresno COG, the
Fresno County Transportation Authority
(FCTA or the Authority), and Caltrans.
Program Implementation
Implementing Agencies will be designated
for each of the regional projects included
on the Tier 1 Urban or Rural Project List prior
to beginning project development activities.
The Implementing Agency will generally be the
owner of the facility; however, it may also be the
sponsoring agency for a project that is not a part
of their system. The Authority may also choose
to be the Implementing Agency for a project
on facilities owned by others. The owner of the
facility must agree to another agency assuming
the role of Implementing Agency.
Definitions
Projects within this Program are generally on
the State Highway System, as those facilities
are regional by nature; however, projects can
also include those on major local arterials
that serve more than one city or area of the
county. Fresno Yosemite International (FYI)
Airport is also included as a regional facility,
as it facilitates passenger and freight travel
from throughout Fresno County to state,
national, and international destinations.
Eligible Project Lists
The Renewal Expenditure Plan contains Tier
1 and Tier 2 Project Lists for both urban and
rural areas of the County. The Tier 1 projects
are part of the initial 15 years of the Measure
C Renewal Program, while the Tier 2 lists are
projects potentially eligible for funding in the
second 15 years of the Measure C Renewal
Program. Tier 1 Urban and Rural Project Lists
are both slightly over committed. The Tier 1
and Tier 2 lists are included as Tables 4 through
7 in the Renewal Expenditure Plan. Over
committing of Tier 1, not to exceed 25% of the
overall funding target, is included in the list
of Tier 1 projects. All Tier 1 projects are high
26 priority, and any uncompleted projects would
very likely become high priority for the second
15 years of Measure C Renewal funding. Over
committing allows the advancement of critical
projects through the project delivery process
so that they are ready for funding as it becomes
available. Over commitment also allows agencies
to take advantage of future potential funding
opportunities that cannot be anticipated or
quantified at this time.
The Renewal Expenditure Plan contains $35
million for improvements at FYI Airport, with
$14 million of this funding being available in
the first 15 years and with the remainder in the
second 15-year period. The City of Fresno will
determine the priority projects for this reserve
funding. If requested by the City of Fresno, the
FCTA Board may consider advancing airport
revenues from the second half on the measure
into the first 15 years.
Flexibility and Plan
Modifications
Fresno COG and FCTA will conduct
biennial Major Roads and Highways, Safety
Improvements and Congestion Relief Program
reviews and updates, the purpose of which will
be to ascertain project delivery status, as well as
validity of funding availability. Adjustments to
delivery schedules and funding contributions
may be necessary as a part of these updates.
No later than June 30, 2027, Fresno COG and
FCTA will identify projects from the Tier 1 lists
for the first seven (7) years of the Measure C
Renewal Program. These projects will be selected
based on relative priority, deliverability, and cash
flow. No later than June 30, 2034, Fresno COG
and FCTA will identify projects from the Tier 1
lists for years eight through fifteen (8-15) of the
Measure C Renewal Program; again, based on
relative priorities, deliverability, and cash flow.
Beginning no later than 2041, Fresno COG and
FCTA will develop and conduct a comprehensive
public engagement process to help guide the effort
to establish the list of projects to be funded during
the second half of the Measure Renewal. No later
than June 30, 2042, Fresno COG and FCTA will
adopt a list of urban and rural projects to be
funded during the second half of the
Measure Renewal.
The FCTA Board may consider bonding
of future revenues if project needs, and
deliverability exceed cash flow.
Regional Transportation
Mitigation Fee
Program (RTMF)
The Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan sets
forth requirements related to implementation
of the Regional Transportation Mitigation Fee
(RTMF) Program. The Measure C ballot in
2006 included requirements for local Fresno
County cities and the county (local agencies) to
implement Regional Transportation Mitigation
Fees pursuant to California Government Code
Sections 66000, et seq. and remit the proceeds to
the FCTA to supplement construction of projects
in the Regional Transportation program.
27 The ballot also included enforcement mechanisms
to ensure all Fresno County local agencies
participated in the program. In response
to those requirements, and to implement a
consistent regional fee, the local agencies formed
a Joint Powers Agency (JPA), Fresno County
Regional Transportation Mitigation Fee Agency
(FCRTMFA), pursuant to California Government
Code Sections 6500, et seq.
This Measure Renewal provides for the
continuation of the RTMF program established
by the 2006 Measure, including all local agency
enforcement mechanisms, the perpetuation of
the Fresno County RTMF Agency through the
life of the Measure and all adopted policies and
agreements currently in effect pertaining to
the mitigation fee program. The Measure also
recognizes that mitigation fees are governed
by State law, which changes from time to time,
and stipulates implementation of the program
shall remain in compliance with California law.
California statute currently requires a major
update to the NEXUS in 2028, which will revisit
how the fee has been spent on current projects,
consideration of future projects, adjustments to
rates, and all other legal program requirements.
The RTMF Program requires that new growth
and development within the county and each of
the cities contribute to regional street and highway
project costs. The RTMF Program ensures that
growth and development pay for their fair share
of impacts to the county’s transportation facilities.
The RTMF Program can only be used to mitigate
transportation impacts related to growth; it cannot
be used to address existing deficiencies.
The Authority, consistent with the adopted and
updated Measure C Expenditure Plan, shall have
the authority and flexibility to allocate the RTMF
based upon regional priority need within the
county as defined by the biannual update of the
Major Roads & Highways, Safety Improvement
and Congestion Relief Program consistent with
State law governing impact mitigation fees.
No later than June 30, 2027, all Measure C
agencies must extend the RTMF JPA established
as a part of the second Measure C, consistent
with Section 7 of the JPA Agreement. If any
city or Fresno County should choose to not
implement the RTMF, that agency shall forfeit
annually from the Local Control Program,
an amount equal to the amount of RTMF
that would otherwise have been paid for
development projects within that jurisdiction
during the year. If an agency chooses to not
implement the RTMF, that agency shall notify
the Authority of such decision and shall file
an advisory report with the Authority for each
development indicating the amount of RTMF
that would have been paid. The Authority shall
make a total calculation of RTMF obligation
on an annual basis and deduct the appropriate
amount of funds for the RTMF from the Local
Control Program allocation for that agency.
Funding Allocations
Each Implementing Agency will request
project funding from the Authority, which
will be provided through a Cooperative
Funding Agreement. These agreements will
allocate funding for the initial project phase(s).
28 As the project progresses and additional funding
is necessary to proceed to subsequent phases,
the agreement will be amended to reflect
the additional costs. All funding agreements
reimburse Implementing Agencies for funds
expended. The agreements do not provide
agencies with advanced funding.
Other Requirements
Implementing Agencies will be required to report
project progress on an on-going basis to the
Authority. Projects requiring cost increases not
associated with subsequent project phases must
be thoroughly justified by the Implementing
Agency. A funding agreement amendment must
be approved prior to expending funds beyond
the approved project budget.
Implementing Agencies will furnish, install and
maintain project funding signage recognizing the
Measure C Renewal funding contribution. Details
of said signage will be contained in the SIP.
All major roads and highways constructed,
improved, or reconstructed under this Program
shall follow the requirements delineated in the
Safe Bike and Pedestrian Program section of these
Guidelines titled “Requirements Applying to All
Facilities Utilizing Any Measure C Program Funds.”

Environmental
Sustainability
Nationwide, the San Joaquin Valley suffers
the worst air quality for certain pollutants.
Tailpipe emissions, agriculture, industry and
the geography of the Valley have resulted in
high concentration of ozone and particulate
matter that lead to a disproportionately high
rate of respiratory diseases such as asthma.
The Valley has also experienced severe drought,
wildfire, flash flooding, and prolonged tripledigit summer temperatures that have been exacerbated by climate change. Transportation
sector contributes far more than 40% of the
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
In order to respond to the State’s goals of
GHG reduction, and to improve air quality
in the Fresno region, the Environmental
Sustainability Program addresses these issues
by providing funding for programs and projects
that would increase the vehicle electrification
rate, enable new technologies, facilitate nonsingle-occupancy-vehicle travel, and encourage sustainable land use development. In addition,
in order to preserve the transportation
investments made by the voters in Fresno
County, and maintain a livable and enjoyable
living environment, this Program also provides
funding to encourage local agencies and Caltrans
to remove litter from the roadways.
Providing a separate Renewal Program for
environmental sustainability in no way implies
these are the only funds within the Measure C
Renewal Program dedicated to these purposes.
In fact, each of the previous five (5) Renewal
Programs all contain elements or provisions
to improve air quality and reduce GHG
emissions. This Program will provide funds
over and above those contained within those
other Renewal Programs.
The agencies listed below are eligible for
Environmental Sustainability Program funding.
Private sector, non-profit organizations, or other
government agencies may also apply through
a sponsoring local government agency where
the project is located. The agencies listed below
would be considered the Implementing Agency
for each eligible project.
• 15 Incorporated cities within Fresno County.
• County of Fresno.
• Fresno Council of Governments.
Typically, the 16 local agencies in Fresno
County would be the primary applicants
for these funds; however, some projects or
programs may be of a more regional nature,
in which case Fresno COG or FCTA may be
the logical applicant.
30 Funding Disbursement
Process/Requirements
All the projects or programs under the
Environmental Sustainability Program are
competitive. Specific implementation policies
and guidelines will be developed for each project
type or program following Measure C Renewal
approval by the voters.
Eligible Projects
and Programs
Clean Energy
Approximately $22 million (.32% of the
Measure) is dedicated to this program.
• Charging stations, hydrogen fueling, CNG, etc.
• Regional Zero-Emission Vehicle Readiness
and Implementation Plan (FCTA/FCOG
staff or consultant services).
• Local agency Zero-Emission Vehicle
Readiness and Implementation Plans.
• Clean vehicle power support facilities.
• Microgrid/solar EV battery charging.
• Other clean transportation projects
or programs.
Travel Choice
Approximately $20 million (.29% of the
Measure) is dedicated to this program.
▪ Micro mobility hubs (are designed
to provide and identify a range of
connected travel choices).
▪ Innovations in micro mobility
(bicycles, e-bikes, electric scooters,
electric skateboards, shared bicycles,
and electric pedal assisted bicycles).
▪ Rideshare, and car and vanpool programs
▪ Increased opportunities for telecommuting.
▪ Broadband infrastructure for telecommuting
and education facility purposes.
Future Technologies
Approximately $40 million (.59% of the
Measure) is dedicated to this program.
▪ Other new technology applications.
▪ Future technology improvements.
Transit Oriented
Program (TOD) and
Opportunity Corridors
Approximately $45 million (.66% of the
Measure) is dedicated to this program
TOD grants provide funding for transportation
facilities in new or revitalized developments that
support increased demand for transit with higher
density and mixed land use. TOD developments
reduce our dependence on the automobile by
providing funding incentives for more public or
alternative transportation.
The Measure C Renewal Program and its goal
of vibrant communities that are accessible by
sustainable transportation options, is integrally
linked to the implementation of the Regional
Transportation Plan/Sustainable Community
Strategy (RTP/SCS). The selected RTP/SCS
scenario will achieve the goals of reducing sprawl
while supporting higher densities in urban areas
with high quality public transit options.
31 As an example, the Fresno Opportunity Corridors
(FOC) plan was developed as a part of the DRIVE
initiative and is aimed at helping implement the
Measure C Renewal Program, RTP/SCS and the
Fresno General Plan. FOC has the potential to
receive hundreds of millions of dollars from State,
federal and philanthropic sources needed to build
intense high quality equitable transit-oriented
development (eTOD) with affordable housing
and other desirable mixed-uses along eleven (11)
miles of complete multi-modal streetscapes in
central and south Fresno. It is also a model for all
cities in Fresno County and the Valley that want
vibrant places along their key corridors designed
as high activity mixed-use centers that better meet
the health, housing, jobs, business, recreation
and transportation needs of their stakeholders
while producing significant reductions in VMT
and GHGs and improving environmental quality,
fiscal efficiency, and many other opportunities.
Implementation of Opportunity Corridors is an
eligible expense within the Measure C Renewal
Local Control Program. In addition, certain
elements of Opportunity Corridors may also be
eligible within the Urban and Rural Transit, Safe
Bikes and Pedestrians, Major Roads and Highways,
and Environment Sustainability Programs.
Litter Abatement
Approximately $10 million (.15% of the
Measure) is dedicated to this program.
Matching funds would be available on a
one-for-one basis to secure Caltrans funding
for increased litter abatement activities. Onehalf of the matching funds would come from the Measure C Environmental Sustainability
Program and one-half would come from
any Measure C eligible agency that chooses
to participate in the program.
Enhanced litter abatement would be limited to
State highways in order to maximize Caltrans
funding. In addition, the local matching funds
for litter abatement would be eligible within the
Local Control Program. Participating agencies
may also provide a soft match in the form of
time and materials.
Eligible Investments
Eligible investments would include all
recognized project phases including:
• Planning and environmental analysis.
• Conceptual and preliminary engineering.
• Design engineering (PS&E).
• Right-of-way acquisition,
support and relocation.
• Utilities relocation.
• Construction of any transportation-related
project including alleys and unpaved roads.
• Inspection of construction engineering.
• Direct staff time (salary and benefits).
• Consultants selected consistent with a local
agency selection process.
• Construction contractors selected consistent
with a local agency selection process.
• Labor, materials, and equipment for day labor.
32 Project Requirements
clean energy
This program would fund clean and alternative
energy projects such as hydrogen fueling,
electric charging, compressed natural gas
(CNG), projects etc., that reduces the
production of GHG and priority pollutants.
Local governments and other entities are
encouraged to develop plans and deploy such
clean energy projects systematically. When
developing such plans, entities are encouraged to
reach out to communities and solicit input from
the public and the users. With a few possible
exceptions to be determined by the Authority
and its staff, clean energy projects do not include
power generation or distribution facilities.
travel choice
This program would fund micro-mobility and
other projects that would reduce the use of
private automobiles. Micro-mobility refers to
a combination of small and low- speed
vehicles and conveyances that are electric or
human-powered and that are either privately
owned or part of a shared-fleet. This program
will also provide funding for programs or
infrastructure that would facilitate
telecommute and for support of car and
vanpool programs.
future technologies
This program would fund future unforeseen
technologies that have potential for broad
benefits to Fresno County residents, assisting
the region in meeting its air quality goals. These
should be projects of regional significance in the
areas of research, development, demonstration,
and deployment that will advance public transit
or transportation systems. These new technologies
could focus on technological advances in public
systems, safety features, fuel efficiencies and
alternatives, ITS applications, and education
or information dissemination. They may also
promote passenger safety and satisfaction, attract
customers, improve capital and operating
efficiencies, reduce environmental and air
pollution, and ease dependence on fossil fuels.
Transit Oriented
Development (TOD)
This program was created as part of the
2006 Measure C Extension Plan. The goals
of the Measure C Renewal TOD program
are intended to support community-based
housing projects that are transit friendly:
• Are developed through an inclusive
planning process with broad privatepublic partnerships and outreach. • Improve the range of transportation choices
by supporting transit facilities and improving
links between facilities and activity nodes.
• Support well-designed, high-density
housing and mixed uses near transit.
• In addition to encouraging transit supportive
land use surrounding the high-capacity transit
corridors to boost transit ridership in the Fresno
County region, the TOD program also strives to
support livable, viable and sustainable transitoriented healthy communities that promote walking, biking, and the use of public transit
and reduce private vehicle dependence. Such
33 TOD communities promote health and wellbeing and reduce risks for chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
The projects funded by the TOD program
serve as models that reduce vehicle trips,
improve air quality, and provide access to
physical activity opportunities through
integrated land use and transportation planning.
The TOD program provides funding to
three types of projects/programs that are
competitive based:
• Transportation infrastructure improvements to
transit facilities to encourage safety and access
to transit facilities, support in-fill development
or revitalization, reduce traffic congestion at
transit stations, and provide for a wider range
of transportation choices and improved internal
mobility. Funds may be used for preliminary
design and environmental studies, engineering,
land acquisition, and construction.
• Planning Program or matching money to
identify nodal transit sites on transit corridors
for transit-oriented development, planning
retrofit for existing neighborhoods, downtowns,
commercial cores, and transit station areas
and stops in order to create access to transit
and mixed-use development in transit friendly
environments. The community planning
process would result in transportation/landuse concept plans; streetscape design concept plans, environmental studies, detailed drawings,
construction cost estimates, and implementation
plans for specific capital projects.
• Housing in-fill incentive programs would
reward local governments for encouraging
developers to build compact designs with higher
housing densities, affordable and accessible
housing, and mixed uses that are characteristic
of well-implemented Transit Oriented Design
found in other cities’ developments in proximity
to transit stops. Local government agencies may
spend funds to supplement development fees or
on a capital project that supports new housing
development connections to transit.
Litter Abatement
Litter along the region’s freeways, highways,
and major arterials has been an on-going
issue for Fresno County and its communities.
This activity can provide matching funds to
leverage additional resources for abatement,
public education or additional community
or government resources (Caltrans or other
government agency grants).
Other Requirements
Grant application processes will be developed for
these competitive programs and will include:
• Monitoring and reporting requirements.
• Audit process.
• Performance indicators.
34 Performance Indicators
and Measures
Performance indicators and measures will
be developed as a part of the competitive
program criteria and will include:
• Matching funds obtained.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT

REPORT FROM: Daniel Galvez, Public Works Director REVIEWED BY: MN AGENDA ITEM: Prop 218 Solid Waste Public Hearing
ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance _✓__Resolution __✓__Motion ___Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Alison Lechowicz with Lechowicz and Tseng Municipal Consultants (L&T) presented the Prop 218 Solid Waste Rate Study which encompasses Solid Waste Disposal and Street Sweeping costs, at the May 18, 2022 City Council meeting.
At the May 18, 2022 City Council meeting, L&T presented three Solid Waste collection and Street Sweeping rate increase options based on previous Council direction. The presented rate increases for Solid Waste collection were based on the proposed collection fees charged by Mid Valley Disposal (MVD) encompassing the increase cost due to SB1383, and other factors such as the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase in the MVD collection costs, operating and maintenance costs, procurement costs, and paying down the current operating deficit in the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund. The proposed Street Sweeping rate increase took into consideration City common areas or newly improved areas that are not currently being swept as well as the disposal of the street sweeping refuse.
The Solid Waste disposal and street sweeping rates that make up the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund need to be self – supported by the rates charged customers. The last increase in Solid Waste rates took place thirteen (13) years ago in 2009. L&T presented three options to increase rates:
Option #1 – Break even, increase collection rates and sweeping rates to equal collection costs and sweeping costs (no reserve for future increases in Solid Waste collection costs and sweeping costs); Option #2- Increase collection rates and sweeping rates to equal collection costs and sweeping costs and build a reserve to provide funds for future increases in collection costs and sweeping costs but no repayment of current operating deficit; and
Option #3 – Increase collection rates and sweeping rates to equal collection costs and sweeping costs, repayment of the current operating deficit and create a reserve to provide funds for future increases in collection costs and sweeping costs. At the May 18, 2022 meeting the City Council approved Option #2- which has an initial jump in collection rates and sweeping rates for residential customers the first year to equal current collection costs and sweeping costs and consistent rate increases in the years 2-5, not to exceed 10% annually, that reflect increases in collection costs and sweeping costs including, the annual CPI increase in the MVD collection costs. Commercial rates will see a considerable rate increase due to SB1383, the State Law that requires the mandatory recycling of organics.
The proposed rate increases will allow the Solid Waste fund to prepare for unknown cost increases in procurement, reporting, education, implementation, operations, and maintenance. The Solid Waste fund can also serve as mechanism for the City to assist with implementation of mandatory organics recycling by providing some funding to retrofit commercial enclosures or build new enclosures to accommodate shared bins and expanded pickups to Meeting Date: 8/3/2022
Agenda Item: 6.1
reduce cost. The funding can also help cover fines or additional cost imposed by the state.
At the May 18, 2022, City Council meeting the Council also approved the Public Hearing notice which scheduled today’s public hearing before the City Council and Resolution 2022-28 establishing procedures for the submission and tabulation of protests in connection with the rate public hearing conducted pursuant to the requirements of Proposition 218. By setting the date of the public hearing and approving Resolution 2022-28, a 45-notice period began for the Prop 218 public hearing. The public hearing notice and protest ballot was mailed to all active City utility accounts (3,692 as of May 27, 2022), at least 45 days prior to the today’s public hearing. The public hearing notice was published in the Kingsburg Recorder on June 1, 2022, in addition to having a dedicated web page on the city website and posted in Carrier (City digital newsletter). Attachment 1 to the public hearing notice identifies the reasoning for proposed rate increases, as well as information on the proposed rates, and how to submit a protest vote.
For the proposed rates to be considered for approval at conclusion of the public hearing, the City must not have received a majority protest (50% plus 1), equal to 1,847 protest votes. Absent of a majority protest Council can adopt the proposed rate increases, effective on or after September 2, 2022, and future annual rate increases on July 1 through 2026 equal to the percentage increases from the City’s solid waste and street sweeping service providers not to exceed 10% annually.
RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL
1. Staff recommends the Council open the public hearing and at the conclusion of the public hearing absent a majority protest as determined by the City Clerk, approve Resolution 2022-042 implementing the proposed rates as presented effective on or after September 1, 2022 and authorize annual increases on July 1, though 2026
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S)
1. Absent a majority protest as determined by the City Clerk, Council has the option to reduce the proposed rate increases but may not increase the rates above that proposed.
2. Council could take no action.
STRATEGIC GOAL(S) MET:
1. Ensure Financial Stability
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW
Alison Lechowicz with L&T presented three (3) rate options to Council at the April 22, 2022, City Council Meeting.
The City Council provided direction to proceed with option two of the presented rates which covers the cost of the new proposed rates and builds a small reserve. Previous presentation on the Prop 218 process and rate options were given at the March 16, 2022, City Council Meeting and March 22, 2022, Finance Committee Meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT:
1. Is There A Fiscal Impact? Yes
2. Is it Currently Budgeted? No
3. If Budgeted, Which Line? 319 Enterprise Fund
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Prop 218 process can be outlined as follows:
• Step 1: Council considers report on current and proposed rates through a workshop(s) held at a regular City Council meeting.
• Step 2: Council sets a public hearing date (45-day notice) • Step 3: Staff posts public hearing notice and mails copies to all utility accounts. • Step 4: Prior to or at the public hearing, protest ballots opposing rate increase can be submitted (votes can also be mailed or dropped off).
• Step 5: The City Clerk counts protest votes after public hearing closes. If the number of protest votes received is obviously substantially fewer then the number required to constitute a majority protest, the City Clerk may determine the absence of majority protest without opening the envelopes in which protest are returned.
• Step 6: If the protest votes are more than 50% plus one of the total number of utility accounts, the rate adjustments fails. Otherwise, the rate adjustments can be approved by the City Council (only one vote per utility account).
Timeline -2022
• April – finalized rate analysis and draft report
• May – Presented final recommendations to City Council • June – Conduct ratepayer outreach; print and mail Proposition 218 notices to ratepayers • July – Part of 45-day Prop 218 waiting period; continue ratepayer outreach • August – Conduct Proposition 218 public hearing
• September – Implement new rates absent a majority protest MVD Contract
City Staff has received a proposed agreement and rates from Mid Valley Disposal (MVD). City staff has met with MVD staff to review and discuss the MVD proposed agreement and rates. The new proposed agreement and rates encompass the new requirements and increase in costs due to SB 1383. City Staff will bring the MVD proposed agreement to a future City Council meeting after the Prop 218 Public Hearing.
Previous Deficit
The Solid Waste fund is and has been operating in a deficit. City Staff has discussed this issue with our auditors regarding the Prop 218 process, the auditors have indicated that previous deficit would not need to be considered for the rate study as it has and is currently covered by the General Fund. This method is not sustainable as the Solid Waste fund should be supported by the Solid Waste collection rates.

Solid Waste and Street Sweeping Rate Changes
Hearing Date & Time:
August 3, 2022, at 6:00 p.m.
Hearing Location:
Kingsburg City Council Chamber
1401 Draper Street, Kingsburg, CA 93631
Dated: May 18, 2022
Why are you receiving this notice?
The City of Kingsburg (the “City”) is mailing this notice to you because you are a solid waste customer directly liable for payment of solid waste and/or street sweeping service fees or are the owner of record of a property that receives solid waste or street sweeping services. This notice describes proposed rate changes to be assessed to recover the cost of providing solid waste and street sweeping service to City customers and provides notice of a public hearing to be held on August 3, 2022, at 6pm regarding these proposed changes.
Monthly service fees are the primary source of revenue used to pay for all aspects of the solid waste and street sweeping operations. The City currently contracts with Mid Valley Disposal to provide weekly solid waste collection to residential and commercial customers. Mid Valley Disposal is a local, privately owned recycling and waste management company. Solid waste rates pay for weekly removal, processing, transfer, and disposal of solid waste, recyclables, and organic material such as food waste. The City contracts with Central Valley Sweeping for street sweeping of residential and commercial areas as well as roadway medians. The rates paid by City residents and businesses are needed to pay Mid Valley Disposal and Central Valley Sweeping for their services as well as fund administration and management of the City’s Solid Waste Department.
Why are rate increases needed?
Solid waste rates are set by Mid Valley Disposal, and the City adds a percentage to recover the City’s share of overhead costs. Solid waste rates have not been increased since 2009 despite cost increases from Mid Valley Disposal since that time. In addition, Senate Bill (SB) 1383 (short-lived climate pollutants) requires the City to implement new residential and commercial services for the collection of organic material such as food waste at considerable additional cost. To provide for the ongoing viability of current operations and fund the additional SB 1383 residential and commercial services, rate increases are necessary. Street sweeping rate adjustments are needed to keep up with cost increases from Central Valley Sweeping, fund the sweeping of the City streets and roadway medians, and cover the costs of disposing of swept refuse.
What are the new rates?
Tables 1 to 3 on the following pages identify current and proposed increased solid waste rates. Table 4 identifies current and proposed increased street sweeping rates. The initial rate increase for all solid waste collection and street sweeping services are proposed to become effective on September 1, 2022. Annual rate adjustments shall become effective on July 1 of each of the following four years (2023 to 2026) are also estimated. It is proposed that solid waste rates in 2023 to 2026 will increase by the percent increase in cost from Mid Valley Disposal (set at the inflation rate), not to exceed 10% annually. Similarly, it is proposed that street sweeping rates in 2023 to 2026 will increase by the percent increase in cost from Central Valley Sweeping, not to exceed 10% annually. Tables 1 to 4 include example rates for 2023 to 2026 illustrating the impacts of 5.5% estimated annual cost increases.

How do you file a protest or participate in the public hearing? The provisions of Proposition 218 provide that certain types of “Property Related Fees” such as solid waste rates are subject to a “majority protest” process. If protests are filed on behalf of a majority of the parcels subject to the proposed new rates the City cannot adopt the proposed new rates. Under the majority protest process, any property owner or customer of record receiving the service may submit a written protest for the proposed increases; provided, however, that only one protest will be counted per identified parcel.
Every written protest MUST include ALL of the following to be counted:
1. A statement against the proposed charge that is the subject of the hearing;
2. Name of the record owner or customer of record who is submitting the protest;
3. Identification of assessor's parcel number, street address, or utility account number of the parcel with respect to which the protest is made;
4. Original signature and legibly printed name of the record owner or customer of record who is submitting the protest.
Please see the enclosed ballot.
Written protests may be submitted to the City Clerk by:
1. Delivery to the City Clerk's Office at 1401 Draper Street, Kingsburg, CA 93631 during business hours; or
2. Mail to City Clerk at 1401 Draper Street, Kingsburg, CA 93631; or
3. Written protest can be submitted in-person at the public hearing prior to the close of the public hearing.
The written protest must be received by the City prior to the close of the Public Hearing on August 3, 2022. (Postmark dates will not be accepted.) Any protest submitted via facsimile, e-mail or other electronic means will not be accepted.
Please identify on the front of the envelope for any written protest, whether mailed or submitted in person to the City Clerk, that the enclosed protest is for the Public Hearing on the Proposed Rate Changes - Solid Waste Service Fees/Street Sweeping Fees.
The City will hold a public hearing on August 3, 2022, at 6pm. City Council will review the proposed rates as well as the methodology for calculating the proposed rates. At the conclusion of the public hearing, protests will be counted and validated. If a majority of the parcels protest to the proposed rates, the City cannot adopt the proposed rates. If a majority of the parcels do not protest the proposed rates, the City will adopt the proposed rates. The first-year rate increase, if enacted, will go into effect on or after September 1, 2022. Future year rate increases through July 1, 2026, will be equal to the percentage increases from the City’s solid waste and street sweeping service providers not to exceed 10% annually.

SECTION 11 Tabulation of Protests.
At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Clerk shall tabulate all protests received, including those received during the public hearing and shall report the result to the City Council. If the number of protests received is obviously substantially fewer than the number required to constitute a majority protest, the City Clerk may determine the absence of a majority protest without opening the envelopes in which protests are returned.
SECTION 12: Report of Tabulation
If the number of protests received is insufficient to constitute a majority protest, the City Clerk may announce the absence of a majority protest in which case the protest process ends. 4 If the City Clerk determines that an apparent majority protest has been received but will require additional time to tabulate the protests, he or she shall so advise the City Council, which may adjourn the meeting to allow the tabulation to be completed on another day or days.
If so, the City Council shall declare the time and place of tabulation, which shall be conducted in a place where interested members of the public may observe the tabulation, and the City Counsil shall declare the time at which the meeting shall be resumed to receive and act on the tabulation report of the City Clerk.

Why Rate Increases Are Needed
Fund the cost of providing service
Keep up with Mid Valley Disposal Rates (adjusted each year based on CPI) Operating & Maintenance costs – City staffing and admin Additional street sweeping costs – new areas served; change in disposal of refuse Reverse operating deficit
Meet Fund Reserve targets
Operating Reserve Target = 15% of annual operating costs Comply with new legislation (SB 1383)
The City must provide organics collection services to all residents and businesses January 1, 2025: Statewide 75% reduction in organic waste and recovery of 20% of edible food waste for food donation
New procurement costs – compost and biofuels
