Council Member Silva drove through the other West Star developments andnoted they have done a good job with the parks.
Cameron Hayes, residents, would the development to be a smaller parcel shown on the map.
Closed Public Comment: 6:47 PM.
Continued Council Discussion: 6:47 PM.
Council Member Silva appreciates Mr. Hayes’ comments regarding the annexation. If his development wasn’t built in the 1990’s, he wouldn’t be here. He is glad there is a well thought-out growth pattern. He is ok with the annexation as long as the City continues with a well-thought outgrowth.
Council Member North has similar thoughts. She appreciates Mr. Hayes’ comments. In the last eight years the appearance of growth can seem high. The City follows the growth management ordinance voted in by the people. Due to the housing market and the great recession, buildings haven’t occurred for years and the allocations have stacked up. This is a generational community, and the only way to do that is with slow, managed growth. These homes are great products. We are not dealing with a developer who is one and done, West Star Construction is invested in this community.
Council Member Smith appreciates Mr. Hayes coming. She agrees with the other council members. She was born and raised here and loves our town. She appreciates Mr. Crinklaw, he understands what we want in Kingsburg.
Council Member North clarified with Mr. Crinklaw that the land to the north is not theirs, and they are not planning on building on it. It is just that LAFco is mandating this.
City Attorney Michael Noland said yes,- they are requiring the annexation of the north parcel.
Mayor Pro Tem Palomar said growth is going to happen. He does understand where Mr.
Hayes is coming from.

REPORT FROM: AJ O’Connell, MCP, CBO, CCEA – Building Official REVIEWED BY: AJH AGENDA ITEM: Approve a Professional Services Agreement with Jason Addison Smith Consulting Services Inc., dba JAS Pacific, for Building and Safety Support Services ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ____Motion ____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Building Division routinely partners with third-party vendors to perform functions such as building plan review, inspection services, and administrative support. This is a vital function provided for the City of Kingsburg Building Division due to the limited resources in-house to provide these services to the community.
The City Building Division has collaborated with JAS Pacific for more than 3 years for various services, specifically plan review. In 2023, JAS Pacific performed 84 individual project plan reviews for various residential and commercial projects. This number does not necessarily include rechecks and revisions to these projects.
Additionally, in 2023, JAS Pacific took the lead role in plan review when Building Division staff was affected by medical leave.
In a routine review of Building Division vendor agreements, City Staff and representatives of JAS Pacific felt that an updated formal Professional Services Agreement should be entered into for these services. City Staff has reviewed the draft Professional Services Agreement and recommends approval.

Plan review fees for services rendered are paid by applicants during the permitting process.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
APPROACH TO SCOPE OF WORK
JAS Pacific is excited to present our proposal for providing development plan check services to the City of Kingsburg. With over three decades of experience in verifying plans for code compliance, your desire for timely reviews, direct customer service, and a long-term cost-effective partnership aligns seamlessly with our approach to delivering coordinated and collaborative services.
At JAS Pacific, we specialize in collaborating with our client jurisdictions to develop a plan check process that mirrors the organization, quality, and coordination of your existing reviewers and will be understandable and familiar to your customers.
Our approach has three key phases: Discovery, Information Gathering, and Implementation. This phased methodology ensures a seamless integration of services, clear communication, and a purposeful partnership.
APPROACH
PHASE ONE: DISCOVERY
We begin by clearly defining the scope of building reviews required, identifying key players and roles on both the City and JAS Pacific teams, verify permitting and plan review software, and establish robust communication protocals. Additionally, we confirm service delivery timelines and determine any necessity for on-site staffing.
PHASE TWO: INFORMATION GATHERING
This phase focuses on understanding the City’s unique requirements. We identify municipal code amendments, gather documentation such as correction lists and handouts, and determine information required on plans. Our effort includes collaboration with the other City permitting agencies so that plan reviews are accurate and consistent with Planning Conditions of Approval, Public Works Engineering requirements, and Fire regulations.
PHASE THREE: IMPLEMENTATION
In the final phase, we establish workflows and documentation for both paper and digital plan reviews, ensuring efficiency and clarity. A workflow for the electronic/ in-person pick up of plans and documents, format and return of correction lists, and stamping of plan approvals will be documented. The city will have access to JAS Pacific’s workflow system to allow tracking project status in real-time. Our team implements an in-house monitoring plan to maintain quality and timeliness throughout the review process.

JAS PACIFIC | BUILDING YOUR SOLUTIONS | 20 |
SEISMIC RETROFIT
JAS Pacific have staff who have implemented and conducted seismic retrofit programs for jurisdictions in California. JAS Pacific President Mr. Raj Patel, during this tenure as Building Official for the City of Beverly Hills, initiated a Soft-Story Seismic Retrofit Program for the city’s vulnerable soft-story apartment buildings. His development of the program included technical research, initiation of several community meetings, and close correspondence with the City Manager and City Council before success passage of the ordinance, and a high completion rate of Soft-Story buildings in Beverly Hills.
JAS Pacific Senior Vice-President Mr. Ron Takiguchi initiated and implemented a comprehensive seismic retrofit program while he was Building Official for the City of Santa Monica. This included a mandatory seismic retrofit for all vulnerable building types including Soft-Story Buildings, Non-Ductile Concrete Buildings, and the Nation’s First Mandatory Seismic Retrofit of Steel-Moment Frame Buildings. Related to this experience, Mr. Takiguchi authored a paper entitled “City of Santa Monica: Successful Implementation of Smaller Community Resilience” that was published and presented at the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute’s 2018 - 11th U.S. National Conference on Earthquake Engineering Conference. JAS Pacific can work with staff at Kingsburg to advise, develop and initiate such programs
REACH CODES / ZERO NET ENERGY
During his tenure as Building Official for the City of Santa Monica, Mr. Ron Takiguchi – while working with the Planning Department and Office of Sustainability and the Environment of Santa Monica developed a mandatory Zero Net Energy (ZNE) Code for new single-family dwellings – the third such ordinance to be implemented in the State of California.

JAS Pacific can work with Building & Safety for similarly related programs
GREEN BUILDING - SUSTAINABILITY
The process of State Building Code adoption provides an advanced look at developing and proposing codes and standards.

Ron Takiguchi, member of the Green Building Code Advisory Committee – since the inception of the CALGreen Code – has an advanced look of proposed standards that are publicly discussed and approved for the next building code cycle. Being at the development forefront, Ron Takiguchi and JAS Pacific can advise the City on measures in anticipation of development and building standards, and can advise on City amendments to the CALGreen Code – and California Energy Code.
BUILDING ELECTRIFICATION
Prior to the ruling of the United States Supreme Court to restrict banning of natural gas in buildings, Ron Takiguchi, during his tenure as Building Official for the City of Pasadena, and Bob Latz serving the City of Sacramento, developed mandatory Building Electrification Programs for new commercial and multi-family buildings.
Pasadena’s Building Electrification Program provided several exceptions to the mandate while seeking health and environmental benefits of reduced fossil fuels in buildings. Sacramento’s Electrification Program was specialized for new commercial applications with exceptions for the restaurant community and existing businesses.
ORDINANCE DEVELOPMENT
Similar to JAS Pacific’s Executive Team’s development of Building Electrification, Seismic Retrofit, and other City special programs – JAS Pacific can develop building and fire code related ordinances for the City of Kingsburg.

The city met with the Kingsburg Police Officers Association to review these changes and received tentative approval for the side letter agreement.

ACTION REQUESTED:___Ordinance __√_ Resolution __√_ Motion ____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City has received a request from a Fresno County property owner on Kamm Ave. to connect to the City’s municipal water system. The request involves a domestic water supply from a private well to a single-family residence that has failed. The Public Works Department has confirmed the failure of the private well and the need for connection of the property to the City’s municipal water system. The property is in Fresno County and outside of the city limits of the City.
The Kingsburg Municipal Code Section 13.04.050 allows the City to provide water service to properties outside the city limits of the City when approved by the City Council upon terms and conditions prescribed by the City Council. Section 13.04.060 provides that any agreement by the City to provide water service to properties outside the city limits of the City is conditioned upon the owner of the property not objecting to the annexation of the property into the City. Additionally, California Government Code Section 56133 requires the approval of the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) for the County where the property is located before the City can extend municipal water service to property located outside the city limits of the City.
The Agreement for Extension of Water Service Attachment 3 will be signed by the applicable property owner and identifies payment of fees by the property owner as a condition to connecting the property to the City’s municipal water system. The agreement addresses the issues and the conditions to providing the municipal water service to the properties as identified in Kingsburg Municipal Code Section 13.04.060 (No objection to annexation) and California Government Code Section 56133 (approval by LAFCo).
The municipal water system connection process is initiated with City Council’s approval of the Agreement for Extension of Water Service, and LAFCo approval. The City may commence the connection process after LAFCo approval.
RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL
1. Approve Resolution 2025-007, to authorize the connection to the City’s municipal water system to the following residence located outside the city limits, and authorizing the City Manager to sign the extraterritorial water service agreement with the respective property owner of 13052 E. Kamm, Meeting Date: 02/05/2025
Agenda Item: 6
Kingsburg, CA 93631, Fresno County and the approval of the agreement by City Council is conditioned upon the review, revision and approval of the agreement by the City Attorney.

B. “Cause” constitutes the conviction (including entry of a guilty plea or plea of nolo contendere) of any criminal act committed in the course of employment, a crime of moral turpitude, or crime which resulted in personal gain to HENDERSON (the vote of a majority of the City Council is required before a conviction (including entry of a guilty plea or pleas of nolo contendere) of a misdemeanor crime constitutes “Cause”); violation of any provision of the City Charter, violation of any CITY policy, rule or regulation; neglect or willful failure to perform the duties of the City Manager as set forth in the City Charter; failure to follow City Council direction; express insubordination to the City Council and any act of dishonesty.
9. Resignation. In the event HENDERSON voluntarily resigns his position as City Manager, he shall provide CITY with a minimum of ninety (90) days prior written notice unless the CITY agrees otherwise. In the event of resignation, CITY shall owe HENDERSON nothing other than amounts that may be due to HENDERSON for Base Salary earned as of the date his resignation becomes effective, and accrued, but unused Employment Benefits identified in Section 4.B. of this Agreement. Upon receipt of notice of HENDERSON’s resignation, CITY shall have the option of relieving HENDERSON of his duties and responsibilities prior to the effective date of his resignation, provided that CITY continues to pay all amounts due to HENDERSON for Base Salary and Employment Benefits through and including the effective date of his resignation.
10. Performance Evaluation. The City Council shall provide a written performance evaluation to HENDERSON not less than annually. The City Council shall establish HENDERSON’s performance criteria and evaluation process with input from HENDERSON.
Performance criteria may be added, modified or deleted by the City Council with input from HENDERSON. The evaluation process shall include the opportunity for the City Council to: (1) prepare a written evaluation; (2) meet and discuss the evaluation with HENDERSON; and (3) present a written summary of the evaluation results. The final written evaluation shall be completed and delivered to HENDERSON and placed in his City personnel file within thirty (30) days after the evaluation meeting.
11. Outside Activities. The employment provided for by this Agreement shall be HENDERSON’s sole employment. Recognizing that certain outside teaching opportunities provide indirect benefits to HENDERSON and the CITY, HENDERSON may, subject to prior approval by the City Council, accept limited teaching opportunities which do not interfere with or create a conflict of interest (or the appearance of a conflict of interest) with the performance of HENDERSON’s duties or obligations under this Agreement, or place the CITY, the City Council or HENDERSON in an unfavorable light.
12. Henderson Residence.
HENDERSON shall establish residence within reasonable proximity of the corporate boundaries of the CITY upon commencing employment, and thereafter shall maintain residence within a reasonable proximity to the corporate boundaries of the CITY during the entire term of his employment. The City Council, in its reasonable discretion, shall determine whether the residence selected by HENDERSON is within reasonable proximity to the corporate boundaries of the CITY.
6 13. Indemnification.
A. CITY shall, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the California Government Code, defend and indemnify HENDERSON against any and all losses, damages, judgments, court costs and other reasonable costs and expenses of legal proceedings including attorney’s fees incurred by, imposed upon, or suffered by HENDERSON in connection with or resulting from any civil claim, action, suit, or proceeding solely arising out of or in connection with the performance of his duties and responsibilities as City Manager. Any settlement or compromise of any claim against HENDERSON can only be made with prior approval of CITY in order for indemnification, as provided in this Section, to be available.
B. CITY’s responsibility to defend or indemnify HENDERSON is contingent upon HENDERSON’s full, open and honest cooperation with defense counsel for CITY and HENDERSON.
C. CITY may elect, at its expense, to obtain insurance coverage for liabilities that are the subject to the foregoing indemnification and defense provisions.
D. HENDERSON shall defend and indemnify the CITY and its officials, officers, employees (other than HENDERSON) and representatives (collectively, “City Parties”) against any and all losses, damages, judgments, court costs and other reasonable costs and expenses of legal proceedings including attorney’s fees incurred by, imposed upon or suffered by the City Parties in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding arising out of or in connection with any act or omission to act by HENDERSON which is not within the scope of his employment with the CITY, any act or omission to act resulting from actual fraud, corruption or actual malice by HENDERSON, any criminal act of HENDERSON, any act or omission to act which is a cause for termination under Section 8.B. of this Agreement or any other unlawful act or omission to act by HENDERSON.
E. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the termination of HENDERSON’s employment and termination of this Agreement.
14. Bonding. CITY shall bear the full cost of any fidelity or other bonds required of HENDERSON under any applicable law or ordinance or by the CITY Charter.
15. Notices. Any notice, consent, authorization, or other communication to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given and received when delivered personally, when transmitted by facsimile or e-mail if receipt is verified, one (1) business day after being deposited for next-day delivery with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or three (3) business days after being mailed by first class mail, charges and postage prepaid, properly addressed to the party to receive such notice at the last address furnished for such purpose by the party to whom notice is directed and addressed as follows:

INTERNATIONAL CITY/COUNTY MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION
CODE OF ETHICS WITH GUIDELINES
1 Copyright © 2023 by the International City/County Management Association. All rights reserved.
ICMA Code of Ethics with Guidelines
The ICMA Code of Ethics was adopted by the ICMA membership in 1924, and most recently amended by the membership in April 2023. The Guidelines for the Code were adopted by the ICMA Executive Board in 1972, and most recently revised in June 2023.
The mission of ICMA is to advance professional local government through leadership, management, innovation, and ethics. To further this mission, certain principles, as enforced by the Rules of Procedure, shall govern the conduct of every member of ICMA, who shall:
Tenet 1. We believe professional managementis essentialto effective, efficient, equitable, and democratic local government.
Tenet 2. Affirm the dignity and worth of local government services and maintain a deep sense of social responsibility as a trusted public servant.
GUIDELINE
Advice to Officials of Other Local Governments. When members advise and respond to inquiriesfrom elected or appointed officials of other local governments, they should inform the administrators of those communities in order to uphold local government professionalism.
Tenet 3. Demonstrate by word and action the highest standards of ethical conduct and integrity in all public, professional, and personal relationships in order that the member may merit the trust and respect of the elected and appointed officials, employees, and the public.
GUIDELINES
Public Confidence. Members should conduct themselves so as to maintain public confidence in their position and profession, the integrity of their local government, and in their responsibility to uphold the public trust.
Length of Service. For chief administrative/executive officers appointed by a governing body or elected official, a minimum of two years is considered necessary to render a professional service to the local government. In limited circumstances, it may be in the best interests of the local government and the member to separate before serving two years. Some examples include refusal of the appointing authority to honor commitments concerning conditions of employment, a vote of no confidence in the member, or significant personal issues. It is the responsibility of an applicant for a position to understand conditions of employment, including expectations of service. Not understanding the terms of employment prior to accepting does not justify premature separation. For all members a short tenure should be the exception rather than a recurring experience, andmembers are expected to honor all conditions of employment with the organization.
Copyright © 2023 by the International City/County Management Association. All rights reserved.
Appointment Commitment. Members who accept an appointment to a position should report to that position. This does not preclude the possibility of a member considering several offers or seeking several positions at the same time. However, once a member has accepted a formal offer of employment, that commitment is considered binding unless the employer makesfundamental changes in the negotiated terms of employment.
Credentials. A member’s resume for employment or application for ICMA’s Voluntary Credentialing Program shall completely and accurately reflect the member’s education, work experience, and personal history. Omissions and inaccuracies must be avoided.
Professional Respect. Members seeking a position should show professional respect for persons formerly holding the position, successors holding the position, or for others who might be applying for the same position. Professional respect does not preclude honest differences of opinion; it does preclude attacking a person's motives or integrity.
Reporting Ethics Violations. When becoming aware of a possible violation of the ICMA Code of Ethics, members are encouraged to report possible violations to ICMA. In reporting the possible violation, members may choose to go on record as the complainant or report the matter on a confidential basis.
Confidentiality. Members shall not discuss or divulge information with anyone about pending or completed ethics cases, except as specifically authorized by the Rules of Procedure for Enforcement of the Code of Ethics.
Seeking Employment. Members should not seek employment for a position that has an incumbent who has not announced his or her separation or been officially informed by the appointive entity that his or her services are to be terminated. Members should not initiate contact with representatives of the appointive entity. Members contacted by representatives of the appointive entity body regarding prospective interest in the position should decline to have a conversation until the incumbent's separation from employment is publicly known.
Relationships in the Workplace. Members should not engage in an intimate or romantic relationship with any elected official or board appointee, employee they report to, one they appoint and/or supervise, either directly or indirectly, within the organization.
This guideline does not restrict personal friendships, professional mentoring, or social interactions with employees, elected officials and Board appointees.
Influence. Members should conduct their professional and personal affairs in a manner that demonstrates that they cannot be improperly influenced in the performance of their official duties.
Conflicting Roles. Members who serve multiple roles – either within the local government
Copyright © 2023 by the International City/County Management Association. All rights reserved. organization or externally – should avoid participating in matters that create either a conflict of interest or the perception of one. They should disclose any potential conflict to the governing body so that it can be managed appropriately.
Conduct Unbecoming. Members should treat people fairly, with dignity and respect and should not engage in, or condone bullying behavior, harassment, sexual harassment or discrimination on the basis of race, religion, national origin, age, disability, gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
Tenet 4. Serve the best interests of all community members.
GUIDELINES
Effects of Decisions. Members should inform the appropriate elected or appointed official(s) of a decision's anticipated effects on community members.
Promote Equity. Members should ensure fairness and impartiality in accessing programs and services and in the enforcement of laws and regulations. Members should assess and propose solutions to strive to eliminate disparities.
Tenet 5. Submit policy proposals to elected officials; provide them with facts, and technical and professional advice about policy options; and collaborate with them in setting goals for the community and organization.
Tenet 6. Recognize that elected representatives are accountable to their community for the decisions they make; members are responsible for implementing those decisions.
Tenet 7. Refrain from all political activities which undermine public confidence in professional administrators. Refrain from participation in the election of the members of the employing legislative body.
GUIDELINES
Elections of the Governing Body. Members should maintain a reputation for serving equally and impartially all members of the governing body of the local government they serve, regardless of party. To this end, they should not participate in an election campaign on behalf of or in opposition to candidates for the governing body.
Elections of Elected Executives. Members shall not participate in the election campaign of any candidate for mayor or elected county executive.
Running for Office. Members shall not run for elected office or become involved in political activities related to running for elected office, or accept appointment to an elected office.
They shall not seek political endorsements, financial contributions or engage in other campaign activities.
Copyright © 2023 by the International City/County Management Association. All rights reserved.
Elections. Members share with their fellow citizens the right and responsibility to vote.
However, in order not to impair their effectiveness on behalf of the local governments they serve, they shall not participate in political activities to support the candidacy of individuals running for any city, county, special district, school, state or federal offices. Specifically, they shall not endorse candidates, make financial contributions, sign or circulate petitions, or participate in fund-raising activities for individuals seeking or holding elected office.
Elections relating to the Form of Government. Members may assist in preparing and presenting materials that explain the form of government to the public prior to a form of government election. If assistance is required by another community, members may respond.
Presentation of Issues. Members may assist their governing body in the presentation of issues involved in referenda such as bond issues, annexations, and other matters that affect the government entity’s operations and/or fiscal capacity.
Personal Advocacy of Issues. Members share with their fellow citizens the right and responsibility to voice their opinion on public issues. Members may advocate for issues of personal interest only when doing so does not conflict with the performance of their official duties.
Tenet 8. Make it a duty continually to improve the member’s professional ability and to develop the competence of associates in the use of management techniques.
GUIDELINES
Self-Assessment. Each member should assess his or her professional skills and abilities on a periodic basis.
Professional Development. Each member should commit at least 40 hours per year to professional development activities that are based on the practices identified by the members of ICMA.
Tenet 9. Keep the community informed on local government affairs. Encourage and facilitate active engagement and constructive communication between community members and all local government officials.
GUIDELINE
Engagement. Members should ensure community members can actively engage with their local government as well as eliminate barriers and support involvement of the community in the governance process.
Tenet 10. Resist any encroachment on professional responsibilities, believing the member should be free to carry out official policies without interference, and handle each problem without discrimination on the basis of principle and justice.
Copyright © 2023 by the International City/County Management Association. All rights reserved.
GUIDELINE
Information Sharing. The member should openly share information with the governing body while diligently carrying out the member’s responsibilities as set forth in the charter or enabling legislation.
Tenet 11. Manage all personnel matters with fairness and impartiality.
GUIDELINE
Diversity and Inclusion. It is the member’s responsibility to recruit, hire, promote, retain, train, and support a diverse workforce at all levels of the organization.
Tenet 12. Public office is a public trust. A member shall not leverage his or her position for personal gain or benefit.
GUIDELINES
Gifts. Members shall not directly or indirectly solicit, accept or receive any gift if it could reasonably be perceived or inferred that the gift was intended to influence them in the performance of their official duties; or if the gift was intended to serve as a reward for any official action on their part.
The term “Gift” includes but is not limited to services, travel, meals, gift cards, tickets, or other entertainment or hospitality. Gifts of money or loans from persons other than the local government jurisdiction pursuant to normal employment practices are not acceptable.
Members should not accept any gift that could undermine public confidence. De minimus gifts may be accepted in circumstances that support the execution of the member’s official duties or serve a legitimate public purpose. In those cases, the member should determine a modest maximum dollar value based on guidance from the governing body or any applicable state or local law.
The guideline is not intended to apply to normal social practices, not associated with the member’s official duties, where gifts are exchanged among friends, associates and relatives.
Investments in Conflict with Official Duties. Members should refrain from any investment activity which would compromise the impartial and objective performance of their duties.
Members should not invest or hold any investment, directly or indirectly, in any financial business, commercial, or other private transaction that creates a conflict of interest, in fact or appearance, with their official duties.
In the case of real estate, the use of confidential information and knowledge to further a member’s personal interest is not permitted. Purchases and sales which might be
Copyright © 2023 by the International City/County Management Association. All rights reserved. interpreted as speculation for quick profit should be avoided (see the guideline on “Confidential Information”). Because personal investments may appear to influence official actions and decisions, or create the appearance of impropriety, membersshould disclose or dispose of such investments prior to accepting a position in a local government. Should the conflict of interest arise during employment, the member should make full disclosure and/or recuse themselves prior to any official action by the governing body that may affect such investments.
This guideline is not intended to prohibit a member from having or acquiring an interest in or deriving a benefit from any investment when the interest or benefit is due to ownership by the member or the member’s family of a de minimus percentage of a corporation traded on a recognized stock exchange even though the corporation or its subsidiaries may do business with the local government.
Personal Relationships. In any instance where there is a conflict of interest, appearance of a conflict of interest, or personal financial gain of a member by virtue of a relationship with any individual, spouse/partner, group, agency, vendor or other entity, the member shall disclose the relationship to the organization. For example, if the member has a relative that works for a developer doing business with the local government, that fact should be disclosed.
Confidential Information. Members shall not disclose to others, or use to advance their personal interest, intellectual property, confidential information, or information that is not yet public knowledge, that has been acquired by them in the course of their official duties.
Information that may be in the public domain or accessible by means of an open records request, is not confidential.
Private Employment. Members should not engage in, solicit, negotiate for, or promise to accept private employment, nor should they render services for private interests or conduct a private business when such employment, service, or business creates a conflict with or impairs the proper discharge of their official duties.
Teaching, lecturing, writing, or consulting are typical activities that may not involve conflict of interest, or impair the proper discharge of their official duties. Prior notification of the appointing authority is appropriate in all cases of outside employment.
Representation. Members should not represent any outside interest before any agency, whether public or private, except with the authorization of or at the direction of the appointing authority they serve.
Endorsements. Members should not endorse commercial products or services by agreeing to use their photograph, endorsement, or quotation in paid or other commercial advertisements, marketing materials, social media, or other documents, whether the
Copyright © 2023 by the International City/County Management Association. All rights reserved. memberis compensated or not forthe member’s support. Members may, however, provide verbal professional references as part of the due diligence phase of competitive process or in response to a direct inquiry.
Members may agree to endorse the following, provided they do not receive any compensation: (1) books or other publications; (2) professional development or educational services provided by nonprofit membership organizations or recognized educational institutions; (3) products and/or services in which the local government has a direct economic interest.
Members’ observations, opinions, and analyses of commercial products used or tested by their local governments are appropriate and useful to the profession when included as part of professional articles and reports.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell & City Council
REPORT FROM: Holly Owen, Community Development Director REVIEWED BY: AJH AGENDA ITEM: Consideration of Opening of Second Round of Competitive Housing Unit Allocations for 2025 under Growth Management Ordinance
ACTION REQUESTED: Ordinance Resolution ____Motion Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The action requested tonight is not to evaluate any particular project, as no applications have been received, but to consider the opening of a second round of allocations at the first meeting in February referenced in the Growth Management Ordinance if all available allocations are not issued by the Council at its meeting of the previous December. This is not a requirement of Council action at this time, but only if Council chooses to do so, as stated in the Growth Management Ordinance (16.09.060(E):
“If all available allocations are not issued by the city council at its December meeting, then at its first meeting in February of the next year, the city council may, in its discretion, authorize staff to conduct a second competitive allocation process ("second allocation").
The first round of 2024 allocation units were awarded to West Star Construction, Inc. with 80 units, with another 25 units awarded from the 2025 allocation allotment (per Council discretion). The first round for 2025 opened in September 2024 and was completed in December 2024 in which Council awarded 44 units of single-family residential units to Joseph Crown Construction & Development, Inc (see Attachment B). No multifamily units were awarded at that time. At this time, 11 single family residential units remain in the 2025 allocation allotment, as shown on Attachment B.
Staff has met with several developers in the last 9 months who are interested in single family subdivision approval. Both need annexation to the City, and neither developer has submitted for allocations at this time.
As mentioned above, 11 units remain out of the total allocation units for 2025. All applicants would need to submit an allocation application to go through the required process. As the Growth Management Ordinance stipulates, both Planning Commission and Council would review the allocation application after the internal rating and ranking process is completed by staff.
If authorized by Council, the Second Competitive Allocation process, outlined in 16.09.060 (E), is specific as to calendar-based timelines as follows:
1) Council opens second potential round of allocations, first meeting in February. 2) Applications received by March 31st to the Community Development Department. 3) City Staff performs rating and ranking process during the month of April. 4) Planning Commission reviews the staff recommendation at first May meeting (May 8, 2025). 5) Council reviews Planning Commission recommendation at first June meeting (June 4, 2025).
Meeting Date:
Agenda Item:
02/05/2025
9 The next round of potential allocations for 2026 would be available for review by application to the Planning and Development Department with a deadline of September 30, 2025.
Given the limited allocations remaining, staff does not believe it is imperative to open the 2nd round of allocations for 2025.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Growth Management System (Attachment A) was enacted in November, 2004 as Measure N, Charter Amendment to the City of Kingsburg Charter. The Growth Management System was brought about by concerns regarding unplanned and uncoordinated growth in the City. The Growth Management System allows for 115 annual housing unit allocations to be made available at the beginning of each calendar year, with a potential two rounds of allocations. These units are divided into single family allocations (80 units) and multifamily allocations (35 units). Applications are due by September 30 for the first round of allocations for any following calendar year.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF KINGSBURG
AMENDING CHAPTER 16.09 OF
TITLE 6 OF THE KINGSBURG MUNICIPAL CODE
REGARDING THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The City Council of the City of Kingsburg does hereby ordain as follows:
Section 1. Chapter 16.09 of Title 16 of the Kingsburg Municipal Code is amended as follows:
16.09.010 Purpose.
A. This chapter implements a growth management system that will manage regulating residential development so that it is compatible with the character and service capabilities of the city and other service providers within the city. This chapter implements the growth management amendment to the city charter passed by the voters of the city in the election of November 2, 2004.
B. This chapter establishes a growth management system to limit the rate of residential growth in the city to a level compatible with the size, financial limitations, resource constraints, and services capabilities of the city and service providers within the city. This chapter also seeks to maintain aesthetic goals of the city. This chapter implements fundamental policies of the general plan including particular provisions of the land use and housing elements of the general plan. The growth management system will assist the city in addressing its responsibility to share in the provision of housing for households of various income levels as determined by the regional housing needs allocation plan prepared by the council of Fresno County governments and approved by the State Department of Housing and Community Development.

28 16.09.020 Allocations for housing units.
A. One hundred fifteen (115) new allocations of housing units will become available at the beginning of each calendar year. Allocation is defined as the right to apply for a building permit to construct one single-family residence or one multi-family residential housing unit. The allocations are divided between two categories of housing: multiple-family housing units with thirty-five (35) allocations (less any allocations issued to multi-family small projects as defined in Section 16.09.050 of this chapter) per year (thirty percent (30%)) and single-family housing units, with eighty (80) allocations per year (seventy-percent (70%)). Of the eighty (80) allocations per year of single-family housing units, twenty (20) allocations shall be reserved for large lot development on parcels of at least ten thousand (10,000) square feet.
B. Allocations which are issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter are issued to the specific residential development project identified and described in the application for allocations. Allocations are not issued to any person or entity. Allocations cannot be assigned, transferred or conveyed to another residential development project C. Except as otherwise set forth in this subsection, if after allocations are awarded, a residential housing project receiving allocations is modified or changed in any way, the allocations awarded to that residential housing project shall automatically terminate and become unused allocations subject to reallocation as provided in Section 16.09.060. The modified or changed residential housing project may apply again for allocations as a new residential housing project. Except that, a residential housing project may file a request with the city, using the applicable city request form, requesting that the issued allocations not terminate but remain with the changed or modified residential housing project. The city council may grant such request only if the city council makes all of the following findings:
1. Any modification or change in the type (i.e., single-family, multi-family, senior, etc.) of residential housing; or the modification or change in any other aspect of the residential housing project satisfies a specific housing need in the city which was not a housing need in the city at the time the 3 1

28 original application for allocations for the residential housing project was initially filed with the city;
2. Any modification or change in the number of residential housing units; or any modification or other change in any aspect of the residential housing project does not result in a need to increase the allocations initially issued to the residential housing project identified in the original application;
3. City staff's reevaluation of the modified or changed residential housing project pursuant to the rating and ranking criteria set forth in Section
16.09.070 of this chapter, does not result in a competitive points ranking different from the competitive points ranking received by the residential housing project for its original application for allocations and does not affect the competitive points ranking of any other residential housing project that originally competed for allocations with the residential housing project seeking to retain its awarded allocations;
4. No land use entitlements identified in this Section 16.09.020 have been approved or issued for the residential housing project prior to its application seeking to retain the awarded allocations.
The provisions of this Section 16.09.020 C. shall not apply to a modification or change to a residential housing project which results in a reduction of the awarded allocations needed to construct the residential housing project.
D. An application for competitive allocations identified in Section 16.09.060, shall specifically identify the type of residential development (e.g. single family, multi-family, mixed density, etc.) that will be developed should allocations be awarded to the applicant. Based upon the type of residential development identified in the application, the city’s community development department shall determine the final land use entitlement approval (e.g. final subdivision map, site plan review approval, planned use development (“PUD”) approval, etc.) 4 1

The award of allocations by the city council as provided in Section 16.09.060 shall: (i) specifically identify the Final Entitlement for the residential development receiving the award of allocations; (ii) state the allocations awarded will automatically expire and be of no further force or effect if the Final Entitlement for the residential development receiving the award of allocations is not approved by city or other applicable agency by a specified date which date shall be 12 months (or if annexation is required 24 months) after the date of award of the allocations by the city council (“Entitlement Deadline”); and (iii) state the allocations awarded will automatically expire and be of no further force or effect if construction of all off-site improvements (collectively “Offsite Improvements”) for the residential development receiving the award of allocations including, without limitation, installation of utilities and construction and installation of streets is not completed by a specified date which date shall be forty-eight (48) months after the date of award of allocations by the city council (“Construction Deadline”). No fees paid by an applicant to the city prior to the Entitlement Deadline or the Construction Deadline will be reimbursed by the city should the applicant fail to satisfy the requirements of this chapter.
E. An applicant may request an extension of the Entitlement Deadline or Construction Deadline by submitting a written application for such extension on the form required by the city. In order to grant an extension request, the city council must find that the failure of the applicant to obtain approval of the Final Entitlement on or before the last day of the Entitlement Deadline or complete construction of all Off-site Improvements on or before the last day of the Construction Deadline, was beyond the reasonable control of the applicant. An application for extension of the Entitlement Deadline or the Construction Deadline must be filed with the city at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Entitlement Deadline or Construction Deadline, as applicable. An applicant that obtains an extension of the Entitlement Deadline may not request and extension of the Construction Deadline. 5 1

28 F. The city council, may, in its discretion, allow unused allocations (collectively “Unused Allocations”) to be carried over for a period not to exceed three years (“Unused Allocation Period”) and allocated as part of a first allocation and/or a second allocation or both (as those terms are defined in Section 16.09.060 of this chapter). Unused Allocations are allocations: (i) which were never issued; or (ii) previously issued and expired as provided in this Section 16.09.020. An Unused Allocation Period selected by the city council shall commence on the date the Unused Allocations were first available for award by the city council pursuant to Section 16.09.060. Unused Allocations shall only be issued on the dates identified in Section
16.09.060 D and E.
G. In order to meet the housing needs of persons who will reside in mobilehome parks or multi-family housing developments, an applicant seeking to develop a mobilehome park with more than fifteen (15) spaces and/or multi-family housing development with more than fifteen (15) units may request issuance of allocations which would otherwise be issued over a three-year period. The purpose of this three-year allocation is to satisfy the housing needs of persons who wish to reside in mobilehomes or multi-family developments, through the development of a project which is larger than would otherwise be allowed with only one year of allocations. An applicant may request a three-year allocation by submitting a written application to the city on the form required by the city. After the award of a three-year allocation as provided in this Section 16.09.020 G., the mobile home park development or the multi-family housing development shall not be modified or changed in any way. Any attempt to modify or change the mobile home park development or the multi-family housing development shall result in the automatic termination of the allocations awarded to the mobile home park development or multifamily housing development and the allocations shall become Unused Allocations.
16.09.030 Senior housing allocations.
Demand for senior housing in the city exceeds the supply of senior housing within the city. As a result, and in order to address this need for more senior housing, allocations for a senior housing project shall be issued on the basis of one-half of one allocation for each senior 6 1

16.09.060 Competitive allocations.
A. Allocations for residential projects consisting of five or more dwelling units will compete for allocations in accordance with the process identified in this section. Each calendar year, the maximum number of allocations that can be issued through the competitive process for any one application for development entitlements to construct residential housing units is twentyfive (25) allocations for single-family housing or multiple-family housing, or thirty-five (35) allocations for mixed-density projects which include at least ten (10) single-family homes and at least ten (10) multiple-family dwelling units.
B. Applications for competitive allocations must be filed with the planning and development department on or before four o'clock p.m. on September 30th of each calendar year.
If September 30th falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday when the city offices are closed, the time for filing applications for competitive allocations shall be extended to four o'clock p.m. on the next business day. All applications for allocations for single family residential projects must include a tentative subdivision tract map in a form ready to submit to the city for approval. The development proposals identified in the applications shall be rated and ranked in accordance with the rating and ranking criteria identified in this chapter by planning staff during the month of October and the planning staff shall make its recommendations for competitive allocations to the planning commission.

28 C. An application may not identify more than five model homes to be constructed for each group of twenty-five (25) allocations issued. At the election of the applicant, the model homes will or will not be counted as part of the allocations issued to the applicant. If the applicant elects not to include model homes as part of the allocations issued to the applicant, no certificate of occupancy will be issued for the model homes until allocations are issued for the model homes in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
D. At its first meeting each November, the planning commission will conduct a public hearing to review staff's rating and ranking recommendations for the competitive allocations and make recommendations to the city council regarding the competitive allocations.
At its first regular meeting in December, the city council will consider the recommendations of the planning commission and will issue allocations for the next calendar year ("first allocations").
E. If all available allocations are not issued by the city council at its December meeting, then at its first meeting in February of the next year, the city council may, in its discretion, authorize staff to conduct a second competitive allocation process ("second allocation"). If a second allocation is authorized by the city council, the application process shall be the same as for the first allocations, except that all applications must be received by the planning and development department by four o'clock p.m. on March 31st. If March 31st falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday when the city offices are closed, the time for filing applications for second allocations shall be extended to four o'clock p.m. on the next business day. City staff will perform its ranking and rating process during the month of April and a public hearing will be held by the planning commission at its first regular meeting in May to review staff's rating and ranking recommendations for the second allocation and make recommendations to the city council regarding the second allocation. At its first regular meeting in June, the city council will consider the recommendations of the planning commission and determine the number of second allocations to be issued, if any.

If there is only one application for second allocations, the city council may authorize the issuance of all allocations available in the second allocation to the sole applicant, even though the allocations available in the second allocation exceed the maximum annual number of allocations available for issuance under this section of this chapter and even though the sole applicant for the second allocations received first allocations.
16.09.070 Rating and ranking criteria.
Projects seeking allocations will be rated using a one hundred (100) point scoring system and then ranked. Rating and ranking will be based on information submitted by the applicants in their application materials, backup documentation provided by applicants and other documents and information the city deems relevant to each respective project. Lists of supporting materials likely to be included in a typical application are found at the end of the description of each scoring category. Applicants are encouraged to submit any other materials that are relevant in supporting their applications. The scoring system will be based on the following criteria:
A. Suitability of Location (Twenty-five (25) Points). The city promotes compact and efficient development. Concentric patterns of growth are preferred. Infill development within the urban limit boundary is encouraged. Leapfrog development and irregular boundaries are discouraged. Islands or corridors of unincorporated territory are to be avoided. Projects will not be considered if the property identified in the application is not sufficiently contiguous to the city limits to allow for a logical and reasonable extension of the city limits as determined by the city.
Scoring for this category is as follows:
25 points The property proposed for development is
already within the city limits.
20 points An infill project sufficiently surrounded by
urban development as determined by the
city.
15 points The property is bordered by the city on more
than one side.
10 points The property is adjacent to the city limits and within the urban limit boundary, allowing for
a logical and reasonable extension of the city
limits, as determined by the city.

28 5 points The property is adjacent to the city limits, allowing for a logical and reasonable
extension of the city limits as determined by
the city, but the property is outside of the
urban limit boundary.
0 points The property is outside of the sphere of
influence and annexation to the sphere is
required.
Documentation may include a map and verbal description.
B. Inclusionary Housing (Fifteen (15) Points). The adopted housing element of the Kingsburg general plan has an inclusionary housing policy calling for at least fifteen percent (15%) of the housing units provided by each project to be affordable to low-income or very lowincome households. If the affordable units are not incorporated into the project, the developer may be able to comply with the policy by assisting the city in providing an equal number of affordable housing units elsewhere in the city by dedicating appropriate land or paying an in-lieu fee. For each percentage point of affordable housing included in or provided for by a project, one scoring system point will be awarded up to a maximum of fifteen (15) points. Documentation must include a detailed written commitment to provide the affordable housing described in the application. It must include calculation of the probable rental or mortgage costs of the housing units in the project proposed; calculation of the housing costs a low-income household can afford (which can be based on eighty percent (80%) of the median household incomes for Fresno County for the current year as provided by the California Department of Housing and Community Development); and an explanation of how any "gap" between the two calculations will be eliminated. The "gap" is the basis for determining an appropriate in-lieu fee, or an appropriate value for land to be dedicated for affordable housing purposes. If third-party subsidies are proposed through use of governmental grant funds or partnership with non-profit affordable housing organizations, the commitment on the part of any third-party entity must be documented in writing.
C. Meeting Special Needs, Demonstrated Market Demands and Community Objectives (Twenty (20) Points). City's adopted housing element emphasizes the accommodation 12 1

28 of special-needs populations. Points will be awarded for projects that provide housing for populations that are underserved or have special needs that are not generally met in other projects. Examples include, without limitation, handicapped-accessible units or housing for senior citizens or large families. Points will be awarded to projects that:
1. Provide housing for populations that are underserved or have special needs that are not generally met in other projects, such as handicappedaccessible units or housing for senior citizens or large families;
2. Expand the range of housing choices available in the community by offering configurations, densities and/or price ranges that are not otherwise readily available;
3. Satisfy demonstrated market demands (e.g., large lots, senior housing); and
4. Utilize properties that have been bypassed because they are challenging to develop.
Documentation may include descriptions of existing housing inventory and market conditions, demographics, explanations of challenges confronted by the developers, description or drawings of proposed housing features, etc.
D. Infrastructure and Services (Twenty-five (25) Points). Preference will be given to projects that have the most positive impacts and/or the least negative impacts on infrastructure and services provided by the city and other service entities that operate within or provide services to the city. Scoring shall be based on the following criteria:
1. Proximity to existing infrastructure systems;
2. The extent of extension or expansion needed to increase the capacity of existing infrastructure to serve the proposed development and, if appropriate, future development;

28 3. The willingness of the developer to enter into a reimbursement agreement if the project involves construction of master-planned facilities and such an agreement is appropriate;
4. Agreement to construct and install new oversized infrastructure and/or construct and install new infrastructure that extends beyond the developer's project in order to service future growth, with reimbursement to developer pursuant to a reimbursement agreement providing for reimbursement by future development connecting to the oversized and/or extended infrastructure;
5. Dedication of real property to the city to improve systems and services, including, without limitation, rights-of-way for streets, alleys or green belts, or sites for water wells, lift stations, drainage basins, parks, and schools sites, etc;
6. Incorporation of resource conservation features, including, without limitation, active or passive solar systems, water conservation features, drought-tolerant landscaping and energy-efficient appliances.
Documentation of infrastructure considerations and property dedications can take the form of written descriptions and commitments, maps and diagrams. Conservation features can also be documented with industry or manufacturer data and literature.
E. Architectural Design and Aesthetic Considerations (Fifteen (15) Points).
Kingsburg continues to project an image as "the Swedish Village" which gives the city a unique identity. Residential housing should include distinctive design, quality construction and accompanying amenities. Features that will receive points through the scoring system include:
1. Custom homes or customized features on tract homes that prevent houses in the same development from appearing repetitious;
2. Fostering of neighborhood character;

4. Utilization of alleys for garage access from the rear;
5. Variable front yard setbacks;
6. Landscaping of street medians and parkways;
7. Green belts with pathways for pedestrians, skaters and bicyclists;
8. Pedestrian-friendly design;
9. Bicycle lanes in appropriate locations;
10. Preservation of existing trees;
11. Open space and recreation facilities.
In addition to written descriptions, diagrams and maps, such documentation as elevations, renderings, floor plans and photographs of similar developments may help to illustrate the proposed project.
In the case of walled and gated communities, aesthetics and amenities that are generally viewed by and available to residents and selected guests exclusively will not be considered in scoring in this architectural design and aesthetic considerations category. Only those features that are visible to the general citizenry outside of the walled and gated community will be evaluated.
16.09.080 Phased projects.
Projects having more residential units than the maximum allocation allowable or available in a single allocation period may be phased. Allocations awarded for phased projects may include allocations awarded for the calendar year and Unused Allocations for up to two years. Approval of allocations for a phased project shall identify the number of allocations that will be awarded by the city and used by the applicant during each phase of the project. A separate final map is not required for each phase of a residential subdivision project. Phasing requirements, including, without limitation, number of allocations available for use in each phase, numbers of units that can be constructed and timing of construction, will be enforced as conditions of approval of the tentative tract map and final tract map and as provisions of the 15 1

If a multiple-family residential project includes phasing, phasing requirements including those identified in this section will be enforced through conditions of approval of the site plan or planned unit development and as provisions of the development agreement if one is required by the city. After the award of allocations for a phased project, if phased project is modified or changed in any way the provisions of Section 16.09.020c. shall apply to such modification or change.
16.09.090 Exceptions and changes.
A. The provisions of Chapter 16.40 of this title shall not apply to this chapter.
B. The city council shall have the power to increase, decrease, change or reallocate allocations by resolution of the city council.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell & City Council
REPORT FROM: Holly Owen, Community Development Director REVIEWED BY: AJH AGENDA ITEM: Housing Element Update
ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ____Motion ____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Kingsburg was part of the Multijurisdictional Housing Element process initiated in 2022 and coordinated by Fresno Council of Governments. The Housing Element is a State-mandated eight-year policy document that is a component of the Kingsburg General Plan. The overall purpose of the Housing Element is to identify current and projected housing needs, show locations where housing can be built, and set goals, policies, and programs to meet the community’s housing needs. Every city’s required Housing Element has policies and programs that must be implemented in order for the Housing Element to continue to be considered compliant with State requirements.
For Kingsburg, the 2023-2031 Housing Element was reviewed by Planning Commission on May 9, 2024, and by Council on July 17, 2024, where it was adopted. After adoption, the notice of adoption was sent to the State Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) on July 18, 2024. A letter stating that Kingsburg’s submitted Housing Element was in substantial compliance was sent to the City on September 16, 2024 (Attachment 2). Part of the requirements for certification of the Housing Element are to take action steps to ensure that the Housing Element remains in compliance in accordance with its programs. Most cities are required to include updates and changes to their zoning ordinance to reflect current State law. In addition, some cities are required to increase the development potential for identified properties in order to accommodate their share of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) targets.
As a result, the City has initiated an Amendment to Title 17 (Zoning) of the City’s Municipal Code in order to comply with the programs outlined in the City’s adopted Housing Element and to be consistent with the City’s adopted Housing Element. The council adopted the relevant text zone amendments, but did not adopt housing overlay zones. Subsequently, they directed staff to work with HCD to examine alternative options to meet the Regional Housing Allocation without the upzoning of 4 locations.
As such, staff has worked closely with Provost & Pritchard, our on-call planning consultants, to identify options.
Attached to this report is a cover letter, along with four attachments that identifies the work done since the December 4, 2024 meeting. The information was submitted to HCD on Wednesday, January 29. HCD confirmed receipt and indicated they would respond with questions or will forward an approval of the updated Housing Element.
While the cover letter lists in detail the proposed changes, the intent is to show that there is adequate realistic capacity on alternative sites that could provide enough capacity in the lower income category negating the need to require the 20 du/ac minimum for Sites 47, 48, 102, and 103 via a rezone.
Staff will be available to answer any questions Council may have, and to receive any direction.
