EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) creates a framework to systematically identify and analyze safety problems and recommend safety improvements. Through the assistance of federal funding, implementation of the countermeasures identified in the LRSP will help reach the City’s goal in reducing traffic collisions and improving safety.

Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP)
City of Kingsburg, CA
Introduction
The City of Kingsburg is committed to improving traffic safety for its local community and visitors.

Efforts the City is striving for is to reduce the number of severe injuries and deaths from traffic collisions. As part of traffic safety improvement efforts, the Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) was developed to address critical areas of traffic safety concerns that have been on going in the City.

City of Kingsburg stakeholders whose organizations greatly rely on the City’s transportation system became key developers of the LRSP through providing valuable feedback that addressed major traffic safety concerns. Six years of collision databases were collected that allowed the City stakeholders to identify high collision areas and propose strategies on how to improve them for the safety of the public. Through the assistance of federal funding, implementation of the countermeasures identified in the LRSP will help reach the city’s goal in reducing traffic collisions.

Vision and Goals
Vision
The City of Kingsburg’s vision is to significantly reduce severe injuries and fatalities from traffic collisions for all people that use its road systems. Ideally, this plan will help achieve Vision Zero which strives to eliminate all fatalities and injuries from traffic collisions while increasing safety and equitable mobility for all. Vision Zero recognizes that human error is inevitable in the events of traffic collisions, which is why it emphasizes there are numerous factors to take into account when establishing traffic improvement efforts to help achieve the vision of zero fatalities and severe injuries.

Goals
The following are goals that this plan entails as efforts that are set to achieve City of Kingsburg’s vision step by step.
 Establish a well-versed team that is credible to City of Kingsburg’s transportation system and would partake in providing input and feedback throughout the process of the development of the plan.
 Obtain at least five years of traffic collision data that can be analyzed to determine high collision intersections and help further understand collision patterns that could ultimately guide the direction of future traffic improvement implementation.  Engage with the local community and stakeholders through a public survey and council meetings to better understand the City’s current condition, traffic safety and which specific areas need improvement.
 Develop strategies that would offer countermeasures to emphasis areas that are affecting traffic safety in high collision intersections in the City.  Continue addressing traffic safety concerns in the City and make updates to the LRSP accordingly.

Process
The NACE and FHWA provide frameworks that assist in
developing an LRSP for cities. Both frameworks have
similar processes that would help guide the direction of this LRSP. The steps to the process are organized in a
manner that would lead to achieving the City’s goals more efficiently. The following are the steps that were adopted from the provided frameworks to complete this plan:
 Set vision and goals for the City regarding road
safety advancement
Vision and goals that are set are to guide the LRSP all the way to the implementation of traffic safety improvement efforts.
 Establish a Team of Stakeholders
A team that is credible to the City’s transportation system are to take part in meetings where they can offer input and feedback as the plan is developed.  Collect Input from the Public
Use public outreach methods to collect input from the local community and help gain a better understanding in areas in the City’s transportation system that need improvement  Data Analysis
Collect and analyze at least five years of traffic collision data from the City. The data is then to be used to determine high collision intersections and factors that have significantly impacted the traffic safety in the City.
 Determine Emphasis Areas
The emphasis areas are to be determined from database analysis as well as input from public outreach. Measurable goals are to be set for each emphasis areas and strategies that would improve the emphasis areas at high collision intersections are to be provided as well
 Implementation
Apply for federal funding to implement the LRSP and begin making actual improvements to the city
 Continue addressing traffic safety
Treat the LRSP as a living document and continue to make updates to it every two years.

Conduct meetings with safety partners to address any future traffic safety concerns that could be added to the LRSP and further addressed through implementation.

Existing Efforts
Currently, the City of Kingsburg has several safety projects in design, but none currently in construction. However, it is through the development of this plan that stakeholders are actively considering and planning future projects that aim to address this issue comprehensively. These upcoming efforts demonstrate their commitment to enhancing traffic safety within the city. By implementing new strategies, such as enhancing road infrastructure, introducing traffic safety measures, and promoting public awareness campaigns, the City of Kingsburg and its associated stakeholders are well-positioned to achieve substantial progress in ensuring safer and more efficient transportation for all residents and visitors.

For City of Kingsburg’s project considerations as a result from this plan, see Appendix B.

Data Summary
Crash Collision Analysis
The following six years’ worth of data (2018-2023) was received from the City of Kingsburg’s police station databases of crash collision records. The records included detailed information about each car collision case including, the time of the collision, victims involved, severity of injuries, PCF violations, location of collision, and much more. With roughly around 667 cases, an analysis was able to be conducted to identify factors and high collision areas that have negatively impacted traffic safety in the City of Kingsburg’s transportation system.

Methodology
Given the details from each recorded collision case from the databases, factors and characteristics were able to be categorized and broken down to achieve a better understanding of specific collision patterns, how often they occur, and what was causing them. Four database files were received from the city. Each file addressed a specific category of each car collision case.

The following are what each file pertained to: traffic collisions, party of collisions, victims of collisions, and traffic accidents. Thus, analysis that pertained to a specific category were based off the file that best fit the category. For instance, if the objective was to present the information of the severity of victims in each collision case, the file that gave information about the victims would have been used. The objective was to break down all of the data that was given and create visual representations of collision patterns, collision factors, types of collisions, and frequency of collisions for analysis purposes. Thus, the data received has been organized into tables and figures to present the data analysis accordingly.

Overall
The following figures and tables break down the data that was recorded from 2018 to 2023.

Readers will notice that the tables become more detailed and specific to the certain categories, and it will become evident on the approaches that were taken to analyze the data. Again, the purpose of analyzing the data is to narrow it down enough to determine traffic safety concerns that will ultimately guide the improvement efforts of this LRSP.

The table above breaks down the City of Kingsburg’s crashes by severity from 2018 to 2023. From the given time period, there were a total number of 667 car collisions in the City of Kingsburg’s local roads. As result of the analysis, 82.2% of the collisions were reported as property damage.

Collisions where recorded victims’ complaint of pain and victims with visible injuries both resulted in 1.9% of all car collisions. Lastly, only 3 collisions (0.7% of all collisions) have resulted in fatalities from 2018 to 2023.

Table 2: City of Kingsburg Crashes by Crash Type (2018-2023) Table 2 breaks down all car collisions from 2018 to 2023 into categories of different types of crashes. At rear-end total crashes, broadside crashes make up nearly a third of all recorded collisions—the most of any other category. A broadside collision is when one front end of a

PETERS ENGINEERING GROUP

Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP)
City of Kingsburg, CA
vehicle hits the side of another vehicle. These types of collisions typically happen at intersections when a driver runs a red light or stop sign and hits a vehicle in which had the right-of-way passing through the intersection. Notably, the next two most frequent type of crashes are, Sideswipe, and Hit Object, coming at 41 and 55 total crashes respectively. These top three types of crashes make up 87.7% of all other types of crashes. Thus, it is important that this information is used to help determine what factors are causing these types of crashes and where they are happening most frequently.

Table 3: City of Kingsburg Crash Severity by Type (2018-2023) Table 3 details the percentage of severity of car collisions per type of crash. This, essentially, is a combination of the two previous tables. Notably, these results give a better understanding as to how the type of crashes relate to the frequency of the severity of crashes. Results show that broadside collisions are the primary cause of all categories of severity of crashes, making up more than 26% of nearly every category of severity. It was also worth noting that the results showed that property damage was the most frequent case of severity by all types of crashes (rear-end and hit object being the top two types, just underneath sideswipe collisions). Rear-end collisions have been shown to be the most frequent across all categories of severity of crashes, especially for property damage only (14.9% of all types of crashes) and complaint of pain (40% of all types of crashes). Table 3 significantly draws attention to broadside and vehicle-pedestrian collisions which will be important for the overall analysis of determining focus areas the City needs focusing on.

PETERS ENGINEERING GROUP

Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP)
City of Kingsburg, CA
Table 4: City of Kingsburg Crash Severity by Primary Collision Factor (2018-2023) Given the correlation between crash types and crash severity, it was also important as part of the analysis to recognize factors that have contributed to the severity of crashes as well. Table 4 details the relationship between primary collision factors (documented by police) and the severity of the crashes. It is important to note that more than half (73.6%) of the total number of car collisions cases were never recorded a specific PCF violation. Thus, the analysis will be based off the car collisions that did include a PCF violation in its case. It was found that traffic signals and signs and driving at unsafe speeds were the two biggest factors in causing car collisions.

These two PCF violations notably made up the majority of damage to property. The second most concerning, resulting in the most fatalities, was the auto right-of-way PCF. Auto R/W violations could have been cases such as not yielding to a pedestrian, or an emergency vehicle.

Table 5: Crash Severity by Roadway Ownership (2018-2023) Table 5 shows the relationship between crash severity and which street facility they took place on (state highway and local road). Based off of the analysis, it was evident that car collisions were more frequent on local roads, making up 78% of total crashes. Additionally, each category of crash severity resulted significantly higher in local roads over state highways. Considering that the City of Kingsburg’s state highways are the SR-99 and Golden State Boulevard which roughly stretch 4 miles north and south, and 1 miles east and west through the City, it was foreseeable that less car collisions would take place on them compared to the local roads that are used more by the local community.

PETERS ENGINEERING GROUP

Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP)
City of Kingsburg, CA
Table 6: Percent of Crash Severity at Intersections and Roadway Segments (2018-2023) Similarly, to the previous table, Table 6 details the correlation between crash severity and where they took place, however, this table takes it a step further by identifying whether a car collision took place at an intersection, segment of a road, or a highway. Results showed that intersections and roadway segments made up the majority in serious injury, minor injury, and property damage. It is worth recognizing that intersections experienced more fatalities (60%) than fatalities that took place on the highway (40%). Considering intersection percentages are higher in range for all categories of crash severity relating to intersections and roadway segments, it would be important that traffic safety improvement efforts focus more on the City’s local roads (specifically intersections and roadway segments) over its state highways.

Table 7: Fatal & Serious Injury Intersections Crashes by Type (2018-2023)

Table 7 illustrates crash types versus fatal and serious injuries of all car collisions that took place at the City’s intersections. Results showed that broadside, Rear-End, and Vehicle-Pedestrian collisions made up 25% of all types of collisions that took place at intersections.

PETERS ENGINEERING GROUP

Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP)
City of Kingsburg, CA
Table 8: Roadway Segment Fatal & Serious Injury Crashes (2018-2023) Similar to the previous table, Table 8 details fatal and serious injuries and how they relate to types of crashes however, specifically in roadway segments. The data showed broadside, rear end, overturned collisions to be the result of the most serious injuries, fatalities, and overall type of crash in roadway segments all coming in at 33% of all crash severity.

Table 9: Top Intersection Primary Crash Factors by Crash Severity (2018-2023) Table 9 addresses the same elements as Table 4 does, except it is specific to intersections only.

Comparing the tables, the results were remarkably similar as far as where the highest frequency crash types landed corresponding to the crash severity. Crash severities such as visible injuries, complaint of pain, and Serious injury were more frequent in ‘Auto R/W Violations’. Driving under the influence, auto R/W violations, and traffic signals or signs were shown to be the primary factor in causing fatalities. Traffic Signals came in at the second highest percentage for crashes at 5.1%. Overall unsafe speed resulted as the most frequent factor of collisions, making up 12.6%.

PETERS ENGINEERING GROUP

Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP)
City of Kingsburg, CA
Table 10: Top Roadway Segment Primary Crash Factors by Crash Severity (2018-2023) The data from Table 10 showed that the frequency of specific PCF violations played much differently in roadway segments. Unsafe speeds took the leading factor in collisions in roadways segments, making up 15% of total collisions (52.5% of collisions with recorded PCF violations).

Unlike the leading cause of fatalities in intersections, roadway segments experience pedestrian violations to be the primary factor of fatalities (29% of total fatalities). Taking the data from this table into account, speed management would be ideal for traffic safety improvement efforts in local roadway segments.

Table 11: City of Kingsburg Crashes by Pedestrian Action and Crash Severity Table 11 shows the relationship between pedestrian action and crash severity. Based on the data,

44.4% of collisions with pedestrians happened when the pedestrian was using the crosswalk at the intersection, making this pedestrian action the most common to have caused a collision,

PETERS ENGINEERING GROUP

Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP)
City of Kingsburg, CA
while 16.7% of crashes were related to pedestrians not using a crosswalk, and 22.2% of crashes occurred in the road. It is probable that most pedestrian crashes took place when the pedestrian was crossing at the crosswalk because of right-of-way violations. This could also have been a lack of attention to crossing vehicles or people between either the driver or the pedestrian.

Table 12: Intersections with a Pedestrian Injury (2018-2023) To narrow down which locations have been more critical to pedestrians, this table was arranged to show specific intersections in the City of Kingsburg that have had pedestrian injuries. The pedestrian action column gives insight into the factor involved that led to the injury. Notably, Tintersections were the main type of intersections that involved the most pedestrian fatalities.

Table 13: Bicycle Involved Crashes by Crash Severity and Type (2018-2023) From 2018 to 2023, a total of 2 bicycle-involved collisions have occurred in the City of Kingsburg.

According to the data, broadside crashes have shown to be the most common type of crash when it comes to bicycle-involved collisions, resulting in the most instances of property damage, complaints of pain, visible injuries, serious injuries, and fatalities when compared to the rest of crash types (55% of total crashes). It is also worth noting that side swipe crashes have made up

15.9% of all bicycle-involved collisions, although mostly resulted in property damage. 13.8% of total bicycle-involved collisions were collisions that involved pedestrians. The number of the remaining types of crashes related to bicycle-involved collisions is miniscule compared to the top three common crash types (broadside, sideswipe and vehicle-pedestrian).

Table 14: Bicycle Involved Crashes Percent of Crash Severity (2018-2023) Table 14 is a more general look at bicycle-involved collisions and how they relate to crash severities and overall crashes. The table shows that bicycle-involved collisions make up 19% in each crash severity category of ‘property damage only’ and ‘other visible injury’. Despite the fact that bicycle collisions make up only 2% of all total crashes between 2018-2023, their representation in its number of fatalities is worth considering when developing new traffic safety improvement efforts.

PETERS ENGINEERING GROUP

Table 15: Crash Severity by Lighting Condition (2018-2023) The table above details the severity of the crash in the given lighting condition at the time of the collisions. Collisions that took place where the lighting conditions ‘Daylight’ and ‘Dark’ happened more frequently (32.4% and 10.2% of total collisions respectively). According to the table, it appears that there are a few areas within the City of Kingsburg where streetlighting can be improved or installed where there aren’t any streetlights present.

Table 16: High Crash Frequency and Fatal Roadway Segments Table 16 highlights specific roadway segments that have shown to experience collisions frequently. Based on the data, Sierra Street and 18th Avenue were shown to experience the most car collisions within its specified extents. It is important to note that not every roadway segment is included in this table. Only critical roadway segments that experienced more than 20 car collisions are listed, as the purpose of the analysis is to determine which areas need improvement. A more location-specific visualization that highlights fatal and severe collisions are shown in Figure 3 on the following page.

Figure 4: Victim Age vs Number of Crashes (2018-2023)
The figure above illustrates how victim ages correlate to crash frequency. It is important to note that only 483 of the cases that were received from the databases reported the age of the victims involved. Thus, only these cases will be used to represent all collisions that happened from 2018 to 2023 for the purpose of the analysis but shall be used to study collision patterns. The bar graph clearly shows that victims ages from 17 to 19 have been involved in the most crashes. Victims whose ages were from 15-33 experienced the most crashes of any age group (20 crashes). The graph shows a steady decline of crashes as the age becomes greater. It is evident that younger drivers are more likely to be involved in car collisions either due to delinquency, speeding or driving under the influence. It could also signify that the majority of drivers happen to be within the 21 to 45 ranges, as the bar graph shows that age range as the highest cluster compared to the rest of the graph.

Crash Data Summary
Multiple aspects that are critical to traffic safety were identified in the crash data analysis. The list below highlights these significant takeaways from the crash data analysis:
 Rear-End crashes were the most frequent crash type to occur, accounting for 17.6% of all crashes in the City of Kingsburg.
 Broadside crashes result in the most fatalities.
 Rear-End crashes cause the most severe crashes across all categories of severeness, representing 37.5% of all severe crashes.
 Auto R/W Violations and Unsafe Speeds were the primary collision factors that contributed to the most severe crashes, both making up approximately twenty percent of all severe crashes.
 Seventy-seven percent (77%) of total crashes happen in local roads as opposed to state highways in the City of Kingsburg

PETERS ENGINEERING GROUP

Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP)
City of Kingsburg, CA
 ‘Traffic Signals and Signs’ and ‘Auto R/W Violations’ are the main primary collision factors that cause the most severe accidents at traffic intersections, representing 44.8% of total crashes.
 Unsafe speeds are the main primary collision factor amongst roadway segments, making up 50% of collisions with recorded PCF violations.
 44.4% vehicle-pedestrian crashes happen when the pedestrian is crossing in the crosswalk at the intersection.
 Of the recorded victim ages, 17 to 19-year-olds were the most common to be involved in car collisions in the City of Kingsburg
Crash Data Considerations
It is important to recognize that the crash collision data that was provided by the City of Kingsburg Police Department included minor gaps in its data. The data was still sufficient to develop a thorough analysis that accurately represents the collisions in the City of Kingsburg. Data such as primary collisions factors, street lighting conditions, and crash severity were not recorded for every collision. Only a small portion of the data included age. This low percentage had a less than desirable effect on the representation of victim age and car collisions. Motorcycle collision data was not available from the City of Kingsburg and would have been helpful to determine if motorcycles contribute to collisions in the City.

PETERS ENGINEERING GROUP

Emphasis Areas
Once the crash data was shared with the public at the City of Kingsburg Council Meeting, the public had the opportunity to fill out the survey that would help establish emphasis areas the City could focus its traffic safety efforts on. The survey asked the public to select five out of eight emphasis areas, and of the eight the majority selected the following:
 Distracted Driving
 Pedestrian Safety
 Intersection Crashes
 Lane Departure Crashes
 Speeding
Considering the listed emphasis areas are a majority public concern, the following section will focus on each emphasis area and highlight data from the crash analysis to show how crucial each area would be for this plan to address. Countermeasures which address each focus area across all 4 E’s (Engineering, Enforcement, Education, and Emergency Services) are included in the section as well.

PETERS ENGINEERING GROUP

Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP)
City of Kingsburg, CA
Distracted Driving
Many factors that cause drivers to divert their
attention away from the road can be categorized
as distracted driving. Incidents such as texting,
talking, construction work, and vehicle wreck
scenes can all be a dangerous factor to distracted
driving which can ultimately cause serious or fatal
accidents. City of Kingsburg’s crash collision data
has no record of drivers crashing from distracted
driving however, it is probable that they make up
part of the collisions that did not have a
documented PCF. Regardless, the concern of distracted driving was important enough to the public to recognize so that this plan could address it.

Countermeasures:

1. Engineering Recommendations:
 Utilize supplemental advanced warning signs and warning lights that are typically optional to better catch driver’s attention for work zones, midblock crosswalks, or signals/stops ahead.

2. Education Recommendations:
 Conduct public awareness campaigns to educate drivers about the dangers of distracted driving, emphasizing the risks and potential consequences.  Emphasize distracted driving education in driver training programs, teaching techniques to minimize distractions and emphasizing the importance of focused driving and consequences that can be faced from distracted driving.  Encourage and educate the general public the use of vehicle safety features that reduce distractions, such as voice-activated controls, hands-free communication systems, integrated infotainment systems, and heads-up-displays.

3. Enforcement Recommendations:
 Enforce strict laws and regulations against distracted driving, including raising ticket fines for texting and driving.
 Increase enforcement measures, such as targeted patrols to identify and deter distracted drivers.

4. Emergency Services Recommendations:
 Supporting Engineering, Education, and Enforcement Recommendations.

PETERS ENGINEERING GROUP

Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP)
City of Kingsburg, CA
Pedestrian Safety
The conducted crash data analysis showed that
vehicle-pedestrian collisions were the most fatal
accidents in the City of Kingsburg. Records
showed that 44.4% of vehicle-pedestrian
collisions happened as the pedestrian was using
the crosswalk. The analysis significantly backs up
the public’s input of ranking pedestrian safety as
an important area City of Kingsburg should focus
its traffic safety efforts on.

Countermeasures:

1. Engineering Recommendations:
 Continue the design and maintenance of pedestrian-integrated infrastructure, such as sidewalks, crosswalks with flashing beacons, and ramps, to provide safe and accessible pathways for pedestrians.
 Traffic signals at intersections to include protected pedestrian phasing.  Implement traffic calming measures such as including speed bumps and reducing vehicle speeding limits in areas with high pedestrian activity.  Improve visibility for both pedestrians and drivers through adequate lighting, flashing beacons, reflective signs, and marked pedestrian crossings.

2. Education Recommendations:
 Continue to educate drivers in training about the significance of yielding to pedestrians, safe stopping distances, and being cautious in areas with high pedestrian traffic.  Develop campaigns targeted toward the general public that educate pedestrians on how to navigate intersections safely, focusing on the importance of using dedicated crosswalks, obeying traffic signals, and making eye contact with drivers before crossing.

3. Enforcement Recommendations:
 Increase ticket fines for violating traffic laws and regulations that protect pedestrians.  Increase law enforcement presence in areas with high pedestrian activity to deter reckless driving and ensure compliance with traffic laws.

4. Emergency Services Recommendations:
 Maintain and improve emergency response protocols to ensure quick and effective medical attention to injured pedestrians, including efficient communication between emergency services and hospitals.

Intersection Crashes
City of Kingsburg’s intersections experience the
most fatality rates as its crashes are more prone
to vehicle-pedestrian and broadside collisions.

These types of collisions have resulted from
factors such as speeding and right-of-way
violations (running red lights/stop signs).

Results from the crash collision data were able
to identify high collision intersections in the City
of Kingsburg and distinguish them by severity.

Foreseeably, intersection crashes were the most desired emphasis area the public felt needed to be addressed as it received the most votes in the survey. Public input and results from the crash data analysis on intersection crashes significantly focuses this plan on intersection improvements.

Countermeasures:

1. Engineering Recommendations:
 Improve existing two-way and four-way intersections by installing traffic signals, clear signage, and appropriate lane markings to guide drivers and pedestrians safely through the intersections.
 Construct roundabouts and dedicated turn lanes to separate conflicting movements and reduce the risk of collisions.
 Utilize ITS technologies like traffic signal synchronization and advanced intersection warning systems to improve intersection efficiency and safety at existing signalized intersections.

2. Education Recommendations:
 Continue to educate the importance of intersection safety in driver training programs, including teaching proper signaling and right-of-way rules at intersections.

3. Enforcement Recommendations:
 Increase law enforcement efforts at high-risk intersections to deter traffic violations, including running red lights, speeding and reckless driving, and failure to yield to pedestrians.
 Conduct thorough investigations of intersection crashes to identify contributing factors so that the information can be used towards future traffic safety efforts to prevent similar accidents.

4. Emergency Services Recommendations:

Lane Departure Crashes
Although results from the crash data analysis do
not specifically identify lane departure crashes, it is probable that the sideswipe and head-on collisions
that are documented in the analysis were from a
lane departure incident. Sideswipe and head-on
collisions make up nearly 16% of all crashes
(sideswipe: 6.1% and head-on: 0.9% making it
more understandable why the public majority
selected lane departure crashes as an important
emphasis area.

Countermeasures:

1. Engineering Recommendations:
 Refresh existing lane markings for enhanced visibility.  Widen existing streets to add dedicated turning lanes to avoid lane departure collisions.
 Install concrete or striped island medians to keep vehicles on safer dedicated paths from oncoming traffic.

2. Education Recommendations:
 Emphasize the importance of maintaining proper lane position, using traffic signals correctly, and lane departure prevention in driver training programs.  Encourage and educate the general public on the use and availability of vehicle safety features such as Lane Departure Warning Systems which use sensors to detect and correct unintentional lane departures.

3. Enforcement Recommendations:
 Implement stricter enforcement on improper lane changing violations.  Supporting Engineering and Education recommendations.

4. Emergency Services Recommendations:
 Supporting Engineering and Education recommendations.

Speeding
Nearly 14% of all crashes from 2018 to 2023
resulted from unsafe speeding according to
documented PCFs from the crash data.

Speeding can be a factor of any type of
collision, from minor severity to fatal, which
is why complying with speeding limits is
extremely crucial for safety reasons. The
public expressed in the survey that, despite
speed limit signs and law enforcement,
drivers speeding is still a present concern
that needs improvement for the safety of drivers and pedestrians of the City.

Countermeasures:

1. Engineering Recommendations:
 Implement traffic calming measures such as speed bumps and reduced speed sign limits at areas where speeding is highly prone to occur.  Utilize technologies like speed limit signs with radar feedback and automated speed enforcement systems.
 Improve existing roads with appropriate geometrics, including curves, sight lines, and lane widths, to discourage speeding and ensure safe travel.  Construct roundabouts at intersections to assist in lowering speeds.

2. Education Recommendations:
 Direct drivers training programs to emphasize the importance of following speed limits, understanding the risks associated with speeding, and promoting responsible driving behaviors.
 Establish public awareness campaigns to educate the general public about the dangers of speeding, highlighting the potential consequences and encouraging compliance with speed limits.

3. Enforcement Recommendations:
 Impose strict penalties, including increased fines, and license suspensions for drivers caught speeding, to discourage the behavior and reinforce the importance of complying with speed limits.
 Supporting Engineering and Education Recommendations

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell Jr. & City Council
REPORT FROM: Community Services Director Adam Castaneda REVIEWED BY: AJH AGENDA ITEM: Kingsburg Senior Center Hot Meal Program 2024-2025 ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ___Motion _____Receive/File

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Hot Meal Program at the Kingsburg Senior Center is the largest and most resource-intensive program offered at the senior center. Currently, the program is facilitated five days a week, Monday through Friday, and requires substantial staff time and resources. Senior Center staff and Kingsburg seniors have expressed a strong desire to transition from the hot meals currently provided by the Fresno Economic Opportunities Commission (Fresno EOC), sponsored by the Fresno Madera Agency Against Aging (FMAAA), to preparing their own hot meals on-site. The main reasons for this request include dissatisfaction with the quality of the meals and service provided by FMAAA post-COVID-19 pandemic. Seniors and staff have reported that meals are not properly cooked, packaged, or delivered.

The Kingsburg Senior Citizens Incorporated Board of Directors advocated for the city to start preparing hot meals on-site. Although this transition is not the cheapest option and will increase the city’s financial obligation to the program by an additional $7,000, it aims to improve the quality and satisfaction of the meal program for Kingsburg seniors. To facilitate this transition, city staff and Kingsburg Senior Citizens Inc. contacted the Kingsburg Health Care District and the Larry Hillblom Foundation and received financial support from both organizations. The proposal to these organizations included covering the cost of all hot meal program supplies, food costs, and a portion to increase the wages of Nutrition Coordinators for the additional work and expertise required.

Today, city staff is presenting to the Kingsburg City Council to facilitate a decision regarding the Hot Meal Program at the Kingsburg Senior Center. The Council is requested to choose between remaining contracted with the Fresno Madera Agency Against Aging (FMAAA) or transitioning to Kingsburg staff-prepared meals funded by the Kingsburg Health Care District grant for the current fiscal year.

1. Continue with FMAAA:
o FMAAA offers a $32,000 reimbursement grant for FY 24-25. o Meals are provided at no cost to the City of Kingsburg. o No increase in the city's FY 24-25 budget.

2. Transition to Kingsburg Staff-Prepared Meals:
o Supported by Kingsburg Health Care District grants and the Larry Hillblom Foundation. o Grants will cover all hot meal program supplies, food expenses, and a wage increase for nutrition coordinators.
o $6,924 dollar increase to the city's FY 24-25 budget. o Enhanced meal quality and satisfaction among seniors.

The attached financial breakdowns demonstrate the feasibility of the transition with no major budget increases.

The grant funding from external organizations is secured for one year, with the possibility of reapplying for future Meeting Date: 08/07/2024
Agenda Item: 6.3

funding. FMAAA funding is also only secured for one year and is awarded at the beginning of every year. Funding from FMAAA fluctuates depending on available federal funding and ranges between $24,000 and $32,000.

Transitioning to on-site meal preparation improves meal quality but ends the longstanding partnership with FMAAA. If the transition is unsuccessful or funding lapses, the city can re-contract with FMAAA the following year.

The potential restructuring of staff and adjustments in the number of nutrition coordinators may be needed if repartnering with FMAAA to compensate for the increased wages for senior center staff.

RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL

1. City staff recommends accepting the Kingsburg Health Care Districts grant and transition to Kingsburg staffprepared meals to enhance the Hot Meal Program's quality and satisfaction for the senior community. The decision will affect the current fiscal year, with funding to be re-contracted annually.

POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S)

1. The council could choose not to transition from FMAAA and reject the Kingsburg Health Care District grant award.
