Independence Day Celebration Discussion - Staff Report by City Manager Alexander Henderson Sponsor: City Manager’s Office
Action As Deemed Necessary
City Manager Alexander Henderson presented the firework program options that were originally provided to the Chamber of Commerce. Staff has confirmed with the vendor, Pyro Spectaculars, that they can still provide a show on July 3rd for the quoted rates. Staff is seeking discussion and potential direction regarding the fireworks event, with the following considerations.
City Manager Henderson covered the following details regarding the event.
Costs & Operations
For 2025, the Chamber has about $14,000 in their Firework funds. The city annually contributes $5,000. Music for the event is provided for about $1,500. Council would need to allocate an additional $8,000 to cover 2025 costs. Would need to take into consideration the costs for future years.
Coordination
City staff would be responsible for organizing event logistics, including working with the fireworks vendor, coordinating music, invocation, singer for the national anthem, as well as ordering trash cans, porta-potties and other event related activities. In addition, the city would be responsible for providing labor for parking, gate admission and clean-up the day after the event (if we choose to Kingsburg City Council Minutes
May 7, 2025
open the stadium). Alternatively, the city could partner with a non-profit group that would provide the volunteers with staff to staff the event, and in return would receive a portion of the revenue raised from parking, concessions, and gate entry fees. Public Safety activities by Police and Fire departments would be unchanged from a normal event year.
Council Member North asked for clarification on the vendor fee and how many attended last year.
The fee was $875 per vendor with a total of 6 food vendors.
Council Member Silva said he is sad that this is in front of them, considering it is late. But it is an important event that citizens attend and enjoy. Understands this is a big-ticket item, but we need to figure out how to make this work fiscally. Using general funds or partnering with a service group to help offset the cost would make sense financially.
Council Member Palomar agrees that citizens in Kingsburg enjoy this event every year. It is good that staff is considering partnering with a youth sports group to take over staffing the event.
Council Member Smith supports moving forward with the show, but notes it is unfortunate that it is coming this late because it is harder to plan for the event. It makes sense to partner with a group and wants to consider changing the price of parking. We need to look at how to recoup funds from this year.
Council Member North noted there are a lot of things to consider. There are a lot of people showing up to the bowl and parking in surrounding areas. Maybe not having the bowl open because of the financial cost. She stated that if we do not partner with a group, we will lose money because we have to pay employees to staff.
Mayor Pursell is disappointed with the chamber’s late notice. It is their right to drop an event where they do not make money. He notes that maybe the Kingsburg Seawolves would be willing to work the bowl this year. They would want to make a profit; it would be up to the City Manager to partner.
His main goal is to make fireworks happen, even with the loss. This year we do not have time, but he believes there is the potential to recoup the cost in the future.
Mayor Pursell would like to authorize the City Manager to work with a group willing to partner and to give the City Manager discretion.
Public Discussion: None
Council Member North thanked the chamber for doing this over the years. Their board is small, hopefully we can partner with an organization that offers more volunteers. Council Member Silva added with a larger group of volunteers could be more creative. Mayor Pursell’s primary concern is the staff time that will be used. Council Member Palomar believes the Seawolves would be the best group to partner group.
City Manager Henderson recommends we partner with a group, allowing multiple groups to apply and present their ideas within the month of May. If we do not get a group or come to an agreement, we close the bowl but have an aerial fireworks show. If we had the bowl open, there would be more money put into staff overtime, he’s unsure we’d recoup any of those costs. He is hoping there will be a group to partner with

Council Member Silva asked if Public Safety will also be considered overtime. City Manager Henderson answered they already budget for that day due to fireworks happening all over town.
Mayor Pursell clarified with Chamber that the $14,000 in the Chamber funds will be coming back to the City. Noted those funds will be helpful in making decisions.
Council Member North wants to authorize the City Manager to make the best fiscal decision for the community. Whether it is working with an organization or closing the bowl to do an aerial show.
Mayor Pursell agrees and clarified with City Manager Henderson that he’ll make a sound decision.
City Manager Henderson believes the best choice for us is finding a group to partner with, to help staff volunteers. It will also return some money to us, whereas if we close bowl we won’t get money back. Thee group we partner with will be able to fundraise.
A motion was made by Council Member Silva, seconded by Council Member Palomar, to authorize the City Manager discretion to vet and chose a non-profit organization to work with for the Independence Day celebration, up to and including closing the bowl if it does not make financial sense. The motion carried by a unanimous voice vote.
Kingsburg Business Park Highway Commercial Sign Lease Agreements - Staff Report by City Manager Alexander Henderson
Sponsor: City Manager’s Office
Action As Deemed Necessary
City Manager Alexander Henderson presented an update regarding the Kingsburg Business Park. He gave a brief history of the sign before the City came into ownership, and how the City will be going forward with the design and leases.
City Manager Henderson discussed the costs associated with the leases and city costs.
Council Member Silva asked about the aluminum coverage for letters that have been removed, will we receive a quote regarding that. City Manager Henderson answered it should look as it is presented, without having to patch it with the aluminum skin. Council Member Silva thanked City Manager Henderson and Jolene Polyack for their work, and he is glad the local business Cheyanne’s is included.
Council Member Palomar also thanked staff and inquired about a timeframe. City Manager Henderson said he was given a timeline of 6-8 weeks once it gets started. Right now, we are waiting for leases to be completed.
A motion was made by Council Member Silva, seconded by Council Member Smith, to authorize the City Manager to execute respective Business Park leases pending final lease review by the City attorney, and tenant signatures. The motion carried by a unanimous voice vote.
FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS: None.

Within the CFD, a Special Tax shall be levied only on new development as set forth in the Rate and Method of Apportionment (“RMA”), attached herewith as Appendix A.

City of Kingsburg May 11, 2017
Community Facilities District No. 2017-01 (Public Services District) Page 3 III. DESCRIPTION AND ESTIMATED COST OF SERVICES
A. Description of Proposed Public Services
A community facilities district may finance any one or more of the following types of services: police protection services; fire protection and suppression services; ambulance and paramedic services; recreation program services, library services, maintenance services for elementary and secondary school sites and structures, operation and maintenance of museums and cultural facilities; maintenance of parks, parkways (including street lights), and open space; flood and storm protection services, including the operation and maintenance of storm drainage systems and sandstorm protection systems; and services with respect to the removal or remedial action cleanup of hazardous substances. The proposed community facilities district shall provide and finance Public Services, including but not limited to (i) the costs of contracting services, (ii) the maintenance and servicing of police, fire, and emergency response, parks and open space, alley maintenance, street lighting and landscape maintenance, maintenance or upkeep of related facilities, equipment, vehicles, apparatus, and supplies (iii) the salaries and benefits of staff that directly provide such services, and (iv) overhead costs associated with providing such services within the CFD.
The Authorized Services, as defined in the Rate and Method of Apportionment, Appendix A, may be financed only to the extent that such services are in addition to those services provided in the City prior to implementation of the Community Facilities District.
Again, CFD No. 2017-01 shall only finance the above listed services only to the extent that they are in addition to existing services provided within the boundaries of CFD No. 2017-01 before creation of the CFD and such Authorized Services may not supplant services already available within CFD No. 2017-01 at creation of said CFD. The Special Taxes required to finance the related annual costs of those public services will be apportioned as described in the Rate and Method of Apportionment of the Special Tax for CFD No. 2017-01. B. Estimated Costs of Proposed Public Services The intent of the CFD is to fund the anticipated revenue shortfall in providing the Authorized Services listed above. The maximum special taxes that could be levied presently would be $594 per Dwelling Unit for Single Family Residential Property, $396 per Dwelling Unit for Multi-Family Residential Property, $0.20 per Sq. Ft. of Non- Residential Floor Area for Retail and Office Property, and $0.07 per Sq. Ft. of Non- Residential Floor Area for Industrial and Institutional Property; however, this amount is subject to annual escalation. The actual amount to be levied will be determined by the City Council on an annual basis. It is anticipated that the cost of administering the CFD in its earlier years will be approximately $5,000 per year.

Community Facilities District No. 2017-01 (Public Services District) Page 4 IV. BONDED INDEBTEDNESS AND INCIDENTAL EXPENSES
A. Projected Bond Sales
CFD No. 2017-01 is not authorized to sell bonds.
B. Incidental Expenses to be Included in the Annual Levy of Special Taxes Pursuant to Section 53340 of the Act, the proceeds of any Special Tax may only be used to pay, in whole or part, the cost of providing public facilities, services, and incidental expenses. As defined by the Act, incidental expenses include, but are not limited to, the cost of planning and designing public facilities to be financed, including the cost of environmental evaluations of those facilities. As there is no intention or authorization for CFD No. 2017-01 to sell bonds, the incidental expenses to be funded through Special Taxes shall be limited to the costs associated with the creation of the CFD, determination of the amount of Special Taxes, collection of Special Taxes, payment of Special Taxes, or costs otherwise incurred in order to carry out the authorized purposes of the CFD. While the actual cost of administering CFD No. 2017-01 may vary, it is anticipated that the amount of Special Taxes that can be collected will be sufficient to fund the CFD’s annual administrative expenses.

City of Kingsburg May 11, 2017
Community Facilities District No. 2017-01 (Public Services District) Page 5 V. RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
Pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act, the tax imposed in a CFD “is a special tax and not a special assessment, and there is no requirement that the tax be apportioned on the basis of benefit to any property.” The Special Tax “may be based on benefit received by parcels of real property, the cost of making facilities or authorized services available to each parcel, or other reasonable basis as determined by the legislative body,” although the Special Tax may not be apportioned on an ad valorem basis pursuant to Article XIIIA of the California Constitution. The adopted Rate and Method of Apportionment (“RMA”), attached herewith as Appendix A, provides information sufficient to allow each property owner within CFD No. 2017-01 to estimate the maximum annual Special Tax he or she will be required to pay.
The RMA requires that all Assessor’s Parcels within CFD No. 2017-01 be categorized as Developed Property, Undeveloped Property, Property Owner Association Property, or Public Property. The principal assumption inherent in the calculation of Special Taxes as defined in the RMA is that the level of budgetary shortfall impacting the City is the primary result of new development within the City. These determinations are based on an evaluation of the City’s recurring costs and revenues. No Special Taxes will be levied on Undeveloped Property, Property Owner Association Property, or Public Property.
Each Fiscal Year, the Special Tax levy shall be calculated in an amount sufficient to cover the costs required to meet the financial needs for the proposed Authorized Services, but not to exceed the maximum Special Tax for Developed Property. The maximum Special Tax necessary to cover the public service shortfall generated by one (1) Single Family and Multi-Family Residential Dwelling Unit is $594 and $396, respectively, for the 2017-18 Fiscal Year. The maximum annual Special Tax that can be levied within the CFD on Developed Property shall increase annually by the greater of the change in the Blended Consumer Price Index during the twelve (12) months ending in December of the Fiscal Year prior to the Fiscal Year in which the Special Tax is being levied, or four percent (4.00%). Commencing with Fiscal Year 2017-18 and for each following fiscal year, the City Council shall levy the annual special tax proportionately for each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property at up to 100% of the applicable maximum special tax, until the amount of special taxes equals the special tax requirement.
In order to establish the Maximum Special Tax rates for CFD No. 2017-01 as set forth in the Rate and Method of Apportionment, David Taussig & Associates, Inc. has relied on information regarding land-use types, geographic location, and Taxable Property provided to it by others.
David Taussig & Associates, Inc. has not independently verified such data and disclaims responsibility for the impact of inaccurate data, if any, on the Rate and Method of Apportionment for CFD No. 2017-01, including the inability to meet the financial obligations within CFD No. 2017-01.

The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal and if the CFD Administrator concurs, the amount of the Special Tax levied shall be appropriately modified through an adjustment to the Special Tax levy in the following Fiscal Year. No refunds shall be given.
Interpretations may be made by the Council by ordinance or resolution for purposes of clarifying any vagueness or ambiguity in the Rate and Method of Apportionment for CFD No. 2017-01.

H. FUTURE ANNEXATIONS
It is anticipated that additional properties will be annexed to CFD No. 2017-01 from time to time. As each annexation is proposed, an analysis may be prepared to determine the annual cost for providing Authorized Services to such parcels. Based on this analysis, any parcels to be annexed, pursuant to California Government Code Section 53339 et seq. will be assigned the approximate Maximum Special Tax rates when annexed and included in Exhibit A.
I. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax shall be levied in perpetuity as necessary to meet the Special Tax Requirement, unless no longer required to pay for Authorized Services as determined at the discretion of the City.

AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance Relating to Infectious Materials ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ____Motion ____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The County of Fresno, in collaboration with the City of Reedley, managed public health response in addressing issues with a materials laboratory operating within the city limits of Reedley in 2023. As a result of this effort, the County has communicated with and made specific recommendations to Federal and State legislators on how to prevent a similar event from happening in the future while improving oversight of privately funded laboratories.
Unfortunately, there are no current national or state regulations. Due to this regulatory vacuum, the Fresno County Board of Supervisors adopted the “Fresno County Infectious Materials Ordinance”, a local ordinance that will provide local authority to oversee privately funded laboratories that do not fall under the federal Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments “CLIA”, established and codified in 42 USC 263a and 42 CFR 493.
The County ordinance applies only to the unincorporated area of Fresno County. The County has offered a MOU to incorporated cities that will allow the County to enforce the ordinance within cities if the City delegates authority to the County to enforce. The MOU is drafted to reflect that cities maintain local control, and are only responsible for costs incurred by the City and thus the County would not charge its costs to a City. County communication with the City will be key for a joint response. The City Council approved via Resolution the MOU at the May 7, 2025 Regular Meeting.
The Ordinance, if adopted, will incorporate by reference the Fresno County ordinance which provides the authority for the County to conduct on-site visits on private property and evaluate whether laboratories that are not regulated by CLIA 42 USC 263a and 42 CFR 493 are in compliance with Hazardous Materials laws and general applicable clinical laboratory safety requirements (e.g. medical waste, environmental controls, policy, and procedures). This Ordinance will not apply to CLIA operated laboratories which include commercial laboratories (e.g. Quest, LabCorp), doctor’s offices that obtain a CLIA license or waiver from CLIA, and/or clinics operating under a CLIA license or waiver from CLIA. The Fresno County Public Health Department would create a team from its Hazardous Materials program and its Public Health Laboratory. This team would conduct annual on-site visits to confirm compliance with hazardous materials and laboratory operations.
The City Council waived the first reading of the proposed Ordinance 2025-03 at the May 7, 2025 Regular Meeting.
RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL
1. Waiving the second reading and adopt Ordinance 2025-03 Adding Chapter 8.28 to Title 8 of the Kingsburg Municipal Code Relating to Infectious Materials.

TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: David Luchini, RN, PHN, Director, Department of Public Health SUBJECT: Conduct Second Hearing and Adoption of Amendment to the Ordinance Code of Fresno County, Adding 8.52, “Fresno County Infectious Materials Ordinance” to Title 8, “Health and Safety”
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Conduct second hearing on and adopt an Ordinance related to infectious materials in Fresno County laboratories that do not fall under federal regulations 42 United States (USC) § 263a and 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 493.
Approval of the recommended action will adopt the Ordinance which will enable the County to address the lack of federal regulation for laboratories that do not fall under current federal regulations. Should the recommended action be approved, the County would conduct onsite visits on private property to inspect and evaluate laboratories which are not regulated by Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA). This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
Your Board could choose not to adopt this ordinance, which would continue the loophole that exists with non-CLIA regulated labs and another Reedley lab could emerge in another area of Fresno County.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. The cost of permitting and providing oversight of laboratories will be evaluated by the Department and a future Master Schedule of Fees update would be presented to your Board for consideration and to ensure that actual costs will be recovered for activities noted in the Ordinance.
DISCUSSION:
On December 12, 2023, your Board conducted the first hearing, waived the reading of the proposed Ordinance in its entirety, and set a second hearing for the recommended adoption of the proposed Ordinance for January 9, 2024.
The Ordinance, if adopted by your Board, will provide authority for the County to conduct onsite visits on private property and evaluate if laboratories that are not regulated by CLIA, 42 USC 263a and 42 CFR 493 are in compliance with Hazardous Materials laws and general applicable clinical laboratory safety requirements (e.g. medical waste, environmental controls, policy and procedures). This Ordinance will not apply to CLIA operated laboratories which include commercial laboratories (e.g. Quest, Lab Corp), doctors’ offices that obtain a CLIA license or waiver from CLIA, and/or clinics operating under a CLIA license or County of Fresno Page 1 File Number: 23-1234
48 File Number: 23-1234
waiver from CLIA. The Department would operationalize a team from its Hazardous Materials program and its Public Health Laboratory. This team would conduct annual onsite visits to confirm compliance with hazardous materials and laboratory operations.
With your Board’s approval, the recommended ordinance will take effect 30 days thereafter.

For these Zones the City Council in subsequent fiscal years may thereafter impose the assessment at any rate or amount that is less than or equal to the amount authorized for Base Fiscal Year for each Zone, increased each year based upon the Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers, for the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward (“CPI”), as determined by the United States Department of Labor, or its successor without conducting another mailed ballot election. The Base Fiscal Year being 2004/2005 for Zones Kingsburg Country Estates Phase 3, Sierra Ranch West Phase 2, Sierra Ranch Unit No. 6, 2006/2007 for Sierra Annexation No. 9, 2007/2008 for Annexation No. 10 and Annexation No. 11, 2010/2011 for Annexation No. 12, 2015/2016 for Annexation No. 13 and 2016/2017 for Annexation No. 14. The Engineer shall compute the percentage of difference between the CPI for February of each year and the CPI for the previous February, and shall then adjust the existing assessment by an amount not to exceed such percentage for the following fiscal year. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, the Engineer shall use the revised index or a comparable system as approved by the City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living; and the current CPI has been determined to be 2.69% calculated from the average of All Urban Consumers for San FranciscoOakland-Hayward Area.

2025/2026 City of Kingsburg Assessment District 93-01 Page 1 I. OVERVIEW
A. INTRODUCTION
The City of Kingsburg (the “City”) annually levies and collects special assessments in order to maintain the improvements that provide a special benefit to properties within Assessment District 93-01 (the “District”). The District was formed by the adoption of Resolution 93-50, on September 15, 1993. The assessments within the District are levied annually for the District pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “1972 Act”).
The Engineer’s Annual Levy Report (the “Report”) describes the District, any annexations, or changes to the District, and the proposed assessments for Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2025/2026. The assessments are based on the historical and estimated cost to maintain the improvements that provide a special benefit to properties within the District and Zones, as described below in subsection D. The improvements within the District and the corresponding costs, including all expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues, and reserves, are budgeted and assessed for each Zone.
For the purposes of this Report, the word “parcel” refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessment Number by the Fresno County (the “County”) Assessor’s Office. The County Auditor/Controller uses Assessment Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties assessed for special district benefit assessments on the tax roll.
Following consideration of all public comments and written protests at a noticed public hearing and review of the Report, the City Council of the City of Kingsburg (the ”City Council”) may order amendments to the Report or confirm as submitted.
Following final approval of the Report and confirmation of the assessments, the Council may then order the levy and collection of assessments for FY 2025/2026 pursuant to the 1972 Act. In such case, the assessment information will be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller and included on the property tax roll for each parcel in FY 2025/2026.
2025/2026 City of Kingsburg Assessment District 93-01 Page 2 B.

C. COMPLIANCE WITH THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION
All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are in compliance with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”), which was added to the California Constitution with the passage of state-wide Proposition 218 in 1996.
The assessments contained in this report were imposed in accordance with voter approval pursuant to the establishment of the District and annexations. As such, the City has determined that the assessments are compliant with the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID. The proposed assessments for the current fiscal year may be less than or equal to the maximum assessment rates previously approved and adopted for the District and annexations. Any proposed assessment that exceeds the adjusted maximum assessment rate is considered an increased assessment. Pursuant to the provisions of Article XIIID, all new or increased assessments (the incremental increase) are subject to both the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4, including a property owner protest proceeding (property owner assessment balloting).
D. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT AND SERVICES
The District provides for the maintenance, servicing and operation of landscape and lighting improvements within public easements and right-of-ways, parks, open spaces and appurtenant facilities throughout the District. The District consists of fourteen (14) district benefit Zones (“Zones”).
Each Zone has specific improvements that provide a special benefit to the parcels within the Zone. In general, improvements within the District are open space areas; parkways; and slopes; neighborhood, passive, and community parks. The improvements include: turf, ground cover, shrubs, trees, irrigation systems, lighting 2025/2026 City of Kingsburg Assessment District 93-01 Page 4 systems, entry monuments, walls, drainage systems, park facilities, and associated appurtenances. Services provided include all necessary service, operations, administration and maintenance required to keep the improvements in a healthy, vigorous, and satisfactory condition.
All parcels identified as being within a Zone share in both the cost and the benefits of the improvements. The costs associated with the improvements are equitably spread between all benefiting parcels within that Zone. Only parcels that receive benefit from the improvements are assessed, and each parcel is assessed in proportion to the estimated special benefit received.

Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, the City shall use the revised index or comparable system as approved by the City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living.
2025/2026 City of Kingsburg Assessment District 93-01 Page 10 IV. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. BACKGROUND
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 provides that assessments may be apportioned upon all assessable lots or parcels of land within a district or annexation in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each lot or parcel from the improvements. In addition, Article XIIID of the California Constitution (Proposition 218) requires that a parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. The Proposition provides that only special benefits are assessable, and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel. A special benefit is different from a general benefit in that it is a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits. General benefits are conferred on the public at large, including real property within the district. The general enhancement of property value does not constitute a special benefit.
B. SPECIAL BENEFIT
Each and every parcel within the District receives a particular and distinct benefit from the improvements over and above general benefits conferred by the improvements.
The proper maintenance of landscaping and appurtenant facilities specially benefit parcels within the District by moderating temperatures, providing oxygenation, attenuating noise from adjacent streets, and controlling dust for those properties in close proximity to the landscaping, thereby enhancing the environmental quality of the parcels and making them more desirable. Properly maintained landscaping also deters the erosion of slopes and thereby minimizes the risk of instability and the potential destruction of property within the District. The spraying and treating of landscaping for disease reduces the likelihood of insect infestation and other diseases spreading to landscaping located throughout the properties within the District. The proper maintenance of the landscaping, ornamental structures, and appurtenant facilities reduces property-related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the District through the abatement of graffiti and the screening of properties within the District from arterial streets. Finally, the proper maintenance of landscaping and ornamental structures improves the attractiveness of the properties within the District and provides a positive visual experience each and every time a trip is made to or from the property. All of the above-mentioned contributes to a specific enhancement of the property values of each of the parcels within the District.
2025/2026 City of Kingsburg Assessment District 93-01 Page 11 C. GENERAL BENEFIT
In addition to the special benefits received by the parcels within the District, there are incidental general benefits conferred by the proposed improvements.
The proper maintenance of landscaping and appurtenant facilities within the District will not only control dust from blowing onto properties within the District, but will also control dust from blowing onto properties outside of the District. Also, the control of slope erosion will not only protect properties within the District, but will also reduce runoff into the City's storm drain system. The proper maintenance of drainage basin and similar landscaped areas not only facilitates proper drainage of properties within the District, but also reduces the potential for flooding damage to properties on the downward slope from the District. The spraying and treating of landscaping within the District for disease reduces the likelihood of insect infestation and other diseases spreading to landscaping located throughout other properties within the City. Finally, the proper maintenance of landscaping and ornamental structures provides a positive visual experience to persons passing by the District. All of the above-mentioned constitute incidental general benefits conferred by the improvements.
The total benefits are thus a combination of the special benefits to the parcels within the District and the general benefits to the public at large and to adjacent property owners. The portion of the total landscape maintenance costs which are associated with general benefits will not be assessed to the parcels in the District but will be paid from other City Funds.
Because the landscaping is located immediately adjacent to properties within the District and is maintained solely for the benefit of the properties within the District, any benefit received by properties outside of the District is merely incidental. It is estimated that the general benefit portion of the benefit received from the improvements for any District is less than one (1) percent of the total benefit. Nonetheless, the City has agreed to contribute a percentage of the total cost of the improvements for the District to ensure that no property is assessed in excess of the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that property.
D. APPORTIONMENT
Pursuant to the 1972 Act, the costs of the maintenance of the improvements may be apportioned by any formula or method that fairly distributes the net amount to be assessed among all assessable dwelling units in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each parcel from the improvements. The benefit formula used within the District may vary. The formula used for the District reflects the composition of the parcels, and the 2025/2026 City of Kingsburg Assessment District 93-01 Page 12 improvements and services provided, to accurately proportion the costs based on estimated special benefit to each parcel.
Each parcel within the District is assigned a weighting factor known as an Equivalent Dwelling Unit (“EDU”).
Single-family residential (“SFR”) units consist of one unit per parcel, and receive the same special benefit from the improvements due to their similarity in size and use and their similar proximity to the improvements.
Therefore, each parcel or dwelling unit is assessed an equal amount or one (1) EDU per parcel.
The multi-family residential units consist of three units per parcel and are specifically located on seven parcels within the Sierra Ranch, Unit No. 6 District zone. These parcels also receive the same benefit from the improvements. However, the multi-family parcels are of a larger size, approximately 1.5 times that of a single-family parcel. Therefore, the multifamily parcel is equal to 1.5 times the single-family parcel and is assessed based on (1.5) EDUs per parcel.
All the commercial parcels are currently located in the District zone of Sierra Annexation No. 9 and receive the same special benefit from the improvements due to their similarity in size and use and their similar proximity to the improvements. Each acre is equivalent in size to six residential parcels. Therefore, each parcel is assessed based on six (6) EDUs per acre.
The following formula is used to arrive at a levy amount for parcels in each Zone:
Property Type EDU Value
Single Family Residential (SFR) 1.00
Multi-Family Residential 1.50
Commercial (per acre) 6.00
The Total EDUs in a Zone is the sum of all parcel’s individual EDUs that receive benefit from the improvements in that Zone.
Total Balance to Levy in a Zone / Total EDUs in a Zone = Levy per EDU in a Zone
Parcel’s EDUs x Levy per EDUs = Parcel’s Levy Amount
2025/2026 City of Kingsburg Assessment District 93-01 Page 13 V. ZONE BUDGETS AND HISTORICAL RATES
A. DESCRIPTION OF BUDGET ITEMS
The Act provides that the estimated costs of the improvements shall include the total cost of the improvements for the entire Fiscal Year 2025/2026, including incidentals, which may include reserves to operate the Zones.

Total Balance to Levy - This is the total amount to be levied to the parcels within the Zone. The Balance to Levy represents the total maintenance and 2025/2026 City of Kingsburg Assessment District 93-01 Page 14 administration costs. This dollar amount represents the funds that are to be collected for the Fiscal Year from the property owners.
Total Equivalent Dwelling Units - The Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDUs) is a numeric value calculated for each parcel based on the parcel’s land use and size as compared to a single family residence. The EDUs shown in the Zone budgets represent the sum of all parcel EDUs that receive benefit from the improvements in each Zone.
Levy per EDU - The amount levied for each EDU. For a more detailed explanation please refer to Section IV. Method of Apportionment.
Max Rate per EDU - The maximum rate per EDU is the maximum assessment that the Council can levy per EDU based on the approved assessment range formula for the Zone. The maximum amounts are typically rounded down and levied at the nearest even penny for the purpose of the County.
Historical Max Rate History - This table shows the history of the max tax by Zone over the prior ten years of the District.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell & City Council
REPORT FROM: Alma Colado, Finance Director REVIEWED BY: AP AGENDA ITEM: Treasurer’s Reports
ACTION REQUESTED:___Ordinance ___Resolution _√_ Motion ____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Attached for the Council’s information is the Treasurer’s Report for the Quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Historically, the City invested most of our reserves with the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). LAIF is a pooled investment fund established by the state to provide cities with safe investment option that is administered by the State of California Treasure’s Office. Interest rates in LAIF lag behind the current economic trends; earnings or returns are typically lower than other investment channels. At the end of the third quarter, the interest rate for LAIF was at 4.313%.
Currently the cash balances of the City of Kingsburg are invested in Local Area Investment Fund Pool(LAIF) and California CLASS Pool investments.
In the first half of the 2022-23 Fiscal Year, the Council amended the city’s financial policy to allow for investment with California CLASS. CA CLASS is a local government investment pool that provides public agencies with the opportunity to pool their funds together with the goal of collectively earning interest on investments. “The California CLASS philosophy is to provide competitive returns while focusing on safety and liquidity. While CA CLASS operates a similar formula, the short to medium term securities portfolio offers the opportunity to optimize interest earnings, while not sacrificing safety or liquidity of the funds.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell & City Council
REPORT FROM: Rodnie Roberts, Fire Chief REVIEWED BY: AJH AGENDA ITEM: Authorize $417,405.10 plus taxes and registration to rebuild an ambulance and replace a damaged gurney following the November 2024 accident.
ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ____Motion ____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff requests that City Council approve a deposit payment of $101,675.00 for the purchase of a 2026 Freightliner M2 Plus chassis from Excellance Inc., along with a gurney and auto load system from Stryker for $80,672.49. The remaining balance of $208,057.61 will be paid to Excellance Inc. upon completion of the ambulance rebuild, plus $27,000 for tax and licensing. This purchase will allow the wrecked ambulance to return to service by September 2025. The City will provide upfront funding for these expenses and will be reimbursed by the insurance provider, less the deductible of $100,000.00. The ambulance was insured for $400,000.00.
RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL
1. City Council authorize a total payment to Excellence, Inc. for $336,732.61 to rebuild the wrecked ambulance and $80,672.49 to Stryker for a gurney and auto loader and payment for taxes and registration.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S)
1. Not allocating funds for the deposit would stop the rebuilding process for the wrecked ambulance and prevent the purchase of a gurney with an auto loader.
STRATEGIC GOAL(S) MET:
1. Community Safety
2. Financial Stability
3. Preserve the Kingsburg Experience
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In November 2024, Kingsburg Fire experienced an unfortunate accident involving our newest ambulance, that was involved in a single-vehicle rollover during rainy day conditions. The crew was returning to Kingsburg after transporting a patient to a hospital in Visalia.
Following the incident, an insurance adjuster, fire chief, and an Excellance Inc. representative determined the best course of action was to transport the wrecked ambulance to the Excellance factory for a full assessment. A quote Meeting Date: 05/21/2025
Agenda Item: 13
FISCAL IMPACT:
1. Is There A Fiscal Impact? Yes
2. Is it Currently Budgeted? NO
3. If Budgeted, Which Line? 320-6100-539-5701
was presented to the City and the insurance adjuster to replace the chassis and rebuild the existing patient care box. The rebuild option was significantly more cost-effective than purchasing a new ambulance, priced at approximately $460,000.00. The rebuild is expected to reduce the replacement timeline by over a year.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell & City Council
REPORT FROM: Daniel Galvez. Public Works Director REVIEWED BY:
AGENDA ITEM: Prop 218 – Water Rate Study
ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ____Motion ____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City awarded Lechowicz & Tseng Municipal Consultants (L&T) the contract to conduct our 2024/2025 Water Rate study. Since the contract was awarded City Staff worked with L&T staff to present the Final Water Rate Study to the Council on March 19, 2025, which covers a five-year period starting with fiscal year 2025/26 to 2029/30.
The rate study included the following:
• A detailed cost-of-service analysis.
• A determination of current and future revenue needed to provide water services. • An assessment of the existing customer service fee structure. • Options for changes to the rate structure such as meter fees, conservation fees, bulk water usage, etc. • Requirements for communication to comply with Prop 2018.
On March 21, 2025, the City Council approved the study, public hearing notice which scheduled today’s public hearing notice before the Council and approved Resolution 2025-022 establishing the procedures for the submission and tabulation of protest in connection with the rate study public hearing pursuant to the requirements of Proposition 218. By setting the date of the public hearing and approving Resolution 2025-28, a 45-notice period began for the Prop 218 public hearing. The public hearing notice and protest ballot was mailed to all active City utility accounts (4,194 as of March 19, 2025) on March 28, 2025, at least 45 days prior to today’s public hearing. The notice was mailed separately from the April Utility bill. The public hearing notice was also published in the Business Journal on April 11, 2025, in addition to having a dedicated web page on the city website and posted in the Carrier (City digital newsletter). Attachment 1- the public hearing notice identifies the reasoning for proposed rate increases, as well as information on the proposed rates, and how to submit a protest vote.
For the proposed rates to be considered for approval at the conclusion of the public hearing, the City must not have received a majority protest (50% plus 1), equal to 2,098 protest votes. Absent of a majority protest Council can adopt the proposed rate increases, effective on or after July 1, 2025, and future annual rate increases on July 1 through 2029, up to the proposed percentage increases from the City’s water rate study.
If the opposition vote is more than 50% plus one of the total numbers of service locations, the adjustments fail.

Agenda Item: 14
Otherwise, if the adjustments pass (only one vote per service location), the new rates will become effective on or after July 1, 2025, and will be reflected on the September 2025, utility bill as the City bills two months in arrears.
Subsequent increases would take place July 1 of 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029. The subsequent increases would be proposed as part of the City’s master fee scheduled; the proposed increases represented as percent of the total base rate would be the maximum the rates could increase. For reference the Prop 218 rates approved in 2022 for Solid Waste authorized up to 10% increase year over year, yet due to grants from Cal-Recycle the City’s organic procurement cost have been off set which has resulted in a 5.5% increase year over year. City staff aims to continue to look for other funding sources to offset potential capital improvement costs.
RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL
1. Staff recommends that the Council open the Public Hearing and at the conclusion absent a majority protest as determined by the City Clerk approve Resolution 2025-031 implementing the proposed rates as presented effective on or after July 1, 2025, and authorizing annual increases on July 1 through 2029, pursuant to the requirement of Proposition 218 .
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S)
1. Absent a majority protest as determined by the City Clerk, Council has the option to reduce the proposed rate increases but may not increase the rates above that proposed.
2. Council could take no action.
STRATEGIC GOAL(S) MET:
1. Preserve the Kingsburg Experience
2. Financial Stability
3. Community Safety
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW
Alison Lechowicz with L&T presented three (3) rate options to the Council at the February 19, 2025, City Council Meeting. The council provided directions to proceed with Option #1 of the presented rates. Option #1 includes moderate increases in the first two years and tapers during the last two years; this option provides the healthiest fund balance at the end of the 5-year period. A higher fund balance will likely shield the need for an increase when we examine rates again in 5 years. The Finance Committee also reviewed and discussed the three proposed rates at the February 11, 2025, meeting and did not request any changes to the proposals and provided directions to staff to present to the City Council. When presenting the draft study, Council did share concerns regarding residential and commercial meter size. City Staff has audited the residential meters and has confirmed there are no 2” residential water meters. Commercial meters were also audited, and City Staff updated various accounts with the correct meter size, as the default commercial size was 2 inches. This resulted in the proposed base rate slightly increasing in the first year for 1 inch customer and majority of accounts where downsized from a 2” to a 1”. Should the proposed rate increase be approved, City staff has contacted our billing system vendor to have the meter size be part of the billing description should the new rates go into effect.
FISCAL IMPACT:
1. Is There A Fiscal Impact? Yes
2. Is it Currently Budgeted? No
3. If Budgeted, Which Line? 318 Enterprise Fund
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Prop 218 process can be outlined as follows:
• Step 1: Council considers report on current and proposed service fees through a workshop(s) held at a regular City Council meeting.
• Step 2: Council sets a public hearing date (45-day notice) • Step 3: Staff posts public hearing notice and mails copies to all service locations. • Step 4: At the public hearing, service recipients turn in votes opposing rate increase (votes can also be mailed or dropped off).
• Step 5: Staff count votes after public hearing closes. • Step 6: If the opposition vote is more than 50% plus one of the total numbers of service locations, the adjustments fail. Otherwise, the adjustments pass (only one vote per service location).
Below is a timeline of the rate study:
• February 11 - Present draft rate options to Finance Committee (information only) • February 19 - Present draft rate options to City Council (information only) • March 19 - Present Final Report to City Council
• March 28 - Mail Prop 218 notice of rate hearing to customers • April/May - 45-day Prop 218 waiting period; conduct ratepayer outreach • May 21 - Written objections are due (55 days after postmark) • July 1 - Implement new rates absent a majority protest; rate increase will be reflected on September bill for July service
The last water rate increase occurred in 2019 and was deferred from a 2014 study due to drought restrictions during the 2015 and 2016 years.
The water rate study proposes drought rates; Council did provide direction to staff to omit those rates as part of this study and will not be implemented.

Goals of the rate study are:
Cover costs of operations, debt repayment, capital projects, and appropriate reserves Proposed reserve is 6 months of operating costs + debt service payment Adjust the rate structure to better reflect industry standard practice and Proposition 218 requirements
3 Legal Requirements: Proposition 218
Governs how property-related charges are adopted
Covers rates over a maximum 5-year period
Rates must be based on the reasonable cost of service and proportionally recover costs based on how customers take service

Water Rate Study 2025
SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 Background
The City of Kingsburg (City) is a rural community located in Fresno County along the Highway 99 corridor between Fresno and Tulare. The City is situated in the Central Valley and its surroundings include Kings River to the east. The City has a population of over 13,000 residents and encompasses an area of about
3.7 square miles. The City provides a full range of municipal services including water service to over 4,000 accounts consisting of the homes and businesses within its boundaries. The majority of the City’s water service customers are single family residential homes.
The City last increased its water rates in 2019 and has since faced increased costs due to new regulatory requirements, increased equipment and materials costs, and inflation. The implementation of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) requires groundwater agencies and water suppliers to develop and implement sustainability plans, leading to additional costs for monitoring, reporting and water recharge. The City of Kingsburg is a member of the South Kings Groundwater Sustainability Agency and must participate in groundwater management.
The City is also facing increased regulatory requirements related to water quality, conservation, and environmental protections which have led to additional monitoring, testing, and compliance and reporting measures. Increased costs for water treatment chlorination, monitoring equipment, and routine maintenance have necessitated advanced treatment methods, including the use of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) filters. The cost of these filters, along with ongoing maintenance and media replacement, has added significant expenses to water treatment operations that were not contemplated in the City’s prior rate adjustments. The Water Fund is predicted to have a slight operating deficit this year meaning that expenses are higher than revenues. One goal of this rate study is to determine rate increases necessary to cover costs so that the City can continue to provide safe and reliable drinking water to its customers.
A second goal of this rate study is to revise the rate structure to recover costs more fairly from customers. The current water rate structure’s Base Fee includes an allotment of 11,000 gallons of monthly usage. Water usage above 11,000 gallons is billed tiered volume rates. The proposed water rate structure eliminates the water allotment so that customers are billed a single volume rate for all water consumed. Regarding the Base Fee, the proposed rate structure includes fixed charges that increase based on the size of the water meter. Larger connections require a higher level of capital investment and maintenance for the City to provide water to these customers.

Water Rate Study 2025
1.2 Requirements of Proposition 218
The implementation of public agency utility rates in California is governed by the substantive and procedural requirements of Proposition 218 the “Right to Vote on Taxes Act” which is codified as Articles XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution. The City must follow the procedural requirements of Proposition 218 for all utility rate increases. These requirements include:
1. Noticing Requirement – The City must mail a notice of the proposed rate increases to all affected property owners. The notice must specify the amount of the fees, the basis upon which they were calculated, the reason for the fees, and the date/time/location of a public rate hearing at which the proposed rates will be considered/adopted.
2. Public Hearing – The City must hold a public hearing prior to adopting the proposed rate increases. The public hearing must be held not less than 45 days after the required notices are mailed.
3. Rate Increases Subject to Majority Protest – At the public hearing, the proposed rate increases are subject to majority protest. If more than 50% of affected property owners (counted one per parcel) submit timely written protests against the proposed rate increases, the increases cannot be adopted.
Proposition 218 also established substantive requirements that apply to water rates and charges, including:
1. Cost of Service – Revenues derived from the fee or charge cannot exceed the funds required to provide the service. In essence, fees cannot exceed the “cost of service”.
2. Intended Purpose – Revenues derived from the fee or charge can only be used for the purpose for which the fee was imposed.
3. Proportional Cost Recovery – The amount of the fee or charge imposed upon any parcel or person as an incident of property ownership shall not exceed the proportional cost of service attributable to that parcel. Caselaw allows this determination to be made customer class-bycustomer class rather than parcel-by-parcel.
4. Availability of Service – No fee or charge may be imposed for a service unless that service is used by, or immediately available to, the owner of the property. Standby charges are approved as assessments on real property.
5. General Government Services – No property-related fee or charge may be imposed for general governmental services available to the public at large, as police and some fire services are.
Charges for water service are exempt from additional voting requirements of Proposition 218 for other property-related fees, provided the charges do not exceed the cost of providing service and are adopted pursuant to the procedural requirements of Proposition 218.

1.3 Rate Study Process
A summary of the rate study process is provided in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Rate Study Process
The following is a brief description of the rate study process:
Revenue Requirement – Revenue requirements are analyzed via a cash flow projection based on the best information currently available, such as the City’s historical operating results, budgets, audits, and input from staff. The cash flow serves as a roadmap for funding future operating costs and capital expenditures while maintaining long-term fiscal stability, all of which is calculated in this study to produce rates that will be necessary to recover only the projected cost of service per parcel under these proposed rates.
Cost of Service Allocation - The cost of service process builds on the revenue requirement analysis and assigns water costs to functional cost components: metering and customer service, base demand, and extra demand.
Rate Design - Rate design involves developing a rate structure that fairly recovers costs from customers but does not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to each parcel.
Final rate recommendations are designed to fund the City’s short- and long-term costs of providing service and fairly allocate costs to all customers.
City of Kingsburg Page 4
Water Rate Study 2025
The rates recommended in this report are based on the best available information gathered from the City’s budgets, audits, and input from staff and the ratemaking consultant’s professional opinion. The cost allocations proposed herein are based on industry standard practice. The proposed rates are based on the reasonable cost of providing service and do not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to each parcel.
1.4 Proposed Rates
Table 1 provides the current and proposed rates. The proposed rates are designed to fund the water system’s cost of service. It is proposed that the first rate increase go into effect on July 1, 2025 with subsequent rate adjustments effective on July 1 of each year from July 1, 2026 through July 1, 2029.

Water Rate Study 2025
The proposed water rates also include a schedule of drought rates, which would only be implemented during a water shortage emergency. The City does not currently have a schedule of drought rates. Under drought conditions, the meter charges would remain the same, but the volume rate would increase according to the level of water cutback, as shown in Table 2. Drought rates are intended to make the City financially whole and recover the costs to supply and deliver water to customers.

Note: the meter fee will remain the same under drought conditions; see meter fees in Table 1
1.5 Bill Impacts
The typical customer in the City of Kingsburg is a single family residential home served by a 1” meter (or smaller) that uses 16,000 gallons per month. Under current water rates, the typical customer pays a monthly water bill of $36.25. Under the proposed July 1, 2025 rates, the typical customer will pay a monthly water bill of $52.25. Figure 2 provides a bill survey that compares the City of Kingsburg’s current and proposed typical bill with comparable bills charged by other local agencies. Under current water rates, the City of Kingsburg’s bill is among the lowest in the region. Following the rate increase, the City’s typical bill will fall in the mid-range of agencies surveyed.

SECTION 2: CUSTOMER BASE AND CURRENT RATE REVENUES
2.1 Current Rates
A schedule of current monthly water rates is provided in Table 3. The City’s current water rate structure consists of two components: (1) Water Rates for unmetered customers and (2) Water Rates for metered customers. Customers without water meters are billed according to parcel size and location (inside or outside City limits) and multi-unit apartments are billed a fixed charge per dwelling unit.
All metered customers regardless of meter size or customer class are billed a monthly Base Charge of $32.25 which includes the first 11,000 gallons of water usage. Usage above the first 11,000 gallons is billed based on the tiered rate structure shown below.

Above 34,001 gallons $1.14 per 1,000 gal
2.2 Rate Revenues and Water Consumption
The City provides water service to over 4,000 accounts. Table 4 provides current customer counts by customer class, water usage statistics, and annual rate revenues. Current water rates generate about $2,430,000 annually. Approximately 85% of water rate revenues are collected from metered customers and 15% are collected from unmetered customers (primarily unmetered apartment complexes). About 48% of metered water use falls with the base allotment of 11,000 gallons per month which is not billed a water usage rate.

SECTION 3: COST OF SERVICE
This section provides an analysis of water system revenues and expenses to determine the total cost of service to be recovered via water rates. The cost of service is expressed in a cash flow table that illustrates revenue increases needed to keep up with expenses and promote financial health. Over the five-year rate study period, rate increases are proposed so that the City can pay for operating costs, fund capital improvements, and continue to balance the Water Fund, all of which are calculated in this study to produce rates that will be necessary to recover only the actual cost of the water service per parcel under these proposed water rates.
3.1 Background
Several factors have impacted the City’s cost of service since its most recent water rate adjustment in 2019.
1. Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) Compliance – The implementation of SGMA has required groundwater agencies and water suppliers to develop and implement sustainability plans, leading to additional costs for monitoring, reporting, and water recharge.
2. Water Treatment & Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Costs – Increased cost for water treatment chlorination, monitoring equipment, and routine maintenance have necessitated advanced treatment methods, including the use of GAC filters. The cost of these filters, along with ongoing maintenance and media replacement, has added significant expenses to water treatment operations.
3. Increased Regulatory Requirements – Stricter state and federal regulations related to water quality, conservation, and environmental protections have required the City to implement additional monitoring, testing, and compliance and reporting measures, all of which increase operational costs.
4. Rising Utility Costs – Electricity, fuel, and other utility costs have risen substantially, impacting the operation of pumps, treatment facilities, and distribution networks. Higher energy costs translate directly into higher water production expenses.
5. Increased Equipment Costs – The cost of essential equipment such as pumps, motors, filtration systems, and distribution infrastructure has increased due to supply chain disruptions, raw material cost hikes, and inflation.
6. Meter Replacements – Aging water meters require replacement to ensure accurate billing and leak detection. The cost of new meters, installation, and software integration has added to overall operational expenses.
7. Increased Cost of Water Well Replacement Parts – Water well components, including pumps, piping, and motors, have become more expensive due to supply chain issues and increased demand for replacement parts.
8. Software and Hardware Upkeep & Replacement – Modern water management relies on SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems and other software tools for real-time monitoring and efficiency improvements. The ongoing need to upgrade, replace, and maintain both software and hardware has resulted in additional operational costs.
City of Kingsburg Page 11
Water Rate Study 2025
9. Inflation – General inflation has driven up the cost of labor, materials, and services across all sectors, including water production. The increased cost of goods and services has made every aspect of water production—from equipment procurement to employee wages—more expensive.
Together, these factors have contributed to the rising cost of water production, making it more expensive to deliver safe and reliable water to consumers.
3.2 Expense Projection
The Water Fund’s expenses include operating costs, capital improvement projects, debt service, and contributions to reserves. Together these expenses comprise the total cost of service to be recovered from water rates.
3.2.1 Operating Costs
Budgeted water operating costs for FY2024/25 are projected to total about $2.6 million. Table 6 includes a projection of operating expenses over the next five years through FY2029/30. All operating costs are projected to increase by 4% per year to account for inflation. Salaries & Benefits are the largest operating cost, representing about 34% of total FY2024/25 expenses.

3.2.2 Capital Improvements
In addition to funding operating costs, the City intends to fund $3.9 million in capital projects over the next five years, see Table 7. These projects are critical for the City to continue to provide safe and reliable water service to customers. Projects include replacing valves, maintaining and repairing water lines, and performing large scale maintenance. This rate study assumes that all projects listed in Table 7 will be funded from rate revenues and/or existing Water Fund reserves. No new debt is planned or proposed.

3.2.3 Debt Service
The Water Fund has one existing outstanding debt obligation – a California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank installment sale agreement from 2004 and amended in 2011. The total annual cost of the debt is about $160,000. Most forms of municipal debt require that the issuer maintain a coverage ratio of 1.2 times or greater. This is calculated as net operating revenues divided by the annual debt service cost. It is projected that the Water Fund will meet or exceed this target each year of the rate plan. Debt coverage is one factor that lenders take into consideration when determining the credit rating of issuers. By maintaining a strong coverage ratio, the City is more likely to receive favorable financing terms if it chooses to issue debt in the future.
3.2.4 Reserves
The accumulation of reasonable reserves is one component of the cost of service. Based on City projections, the Water Fund will have a positive fund balance of about $1.2 million to begin FY2025/26.
To phase-in rate design changes and mitigate customer impacts, it is proposed that the City draw upon this fund balance in FY2025/26. In FY2026/27, revenues and expenses are projected to be about equal City of Kingsburg Page 13
Water Rate Study 2025
resulting in minimal change to the cash reserves/fund balance. For the remaining three years of the rate plan (FY2027/28 to FY2029/30), the City is projected to accumulate about $2.43 million in reserves. This balance is in excess of the proposed target of $1.73 million which is equal to six months of operating expenses plus one year of debt service costs. Cash reserves above the target will provide capital funding in case of an emergency such as a pump failure or pipeline break.
3.3 Revenues
The Water Fund’s primary source of revenue is water rates. Current water rates generate about $2,430,000 annually. In addition, the City collects about $65,000 annually in penalty charges and about $29,600 of interest earnings. It is assumed that penalty revenues and interest earnings will remain the same throughout the duration of the rate plan. Beginning July 1, 2025, and continuing each July 1 from 2026 through 2029, a series of rate increases are proposed to fund the costs described above.
3.4 Cash Flow Projection
The City’s cash flow with proposed rate increases is provided in Table 8 and Figure 3. The cash flow projection spans the five-year rate study period from FY2025/26 to FY2029/30. An initial rate revenue increase of 15% is followed by a 30% increase, then 20%, then 4% for the remaining two years of the rate plan. Rate increases are proposed to go into effect each July 1 from 2025 through 2029.

SECTION 4: COST ALLOCATION
The prior section determined the total cost of providing water service to customers. In this section, the cost of service is allocated to rates to fairly recover costs based on how customers use the system, and in any event, not to exceed the proportional cost of the water service attributable to each parcel.
4.1 Methodology
The American Water Works Association (AWWA) recommends methods to classify costs among various customers. Using the Base-Extra Capacity Method as recommended by the AWWA, water operating expenses are allocated to the following categories: (a) Base, (b) Extra, (c) Meters and Services, and (d) Customer Service. The Base and Extra categories are intended to recover the costs to deliver water to customers, while the Customer Service and Meters and Services categories are intended to recover expenses related to maintaining infrastructure in the system to supply water at all times under the proposed water service rates in this study. A summary of the cost allocation categories is provided below:
Base: Base costs include the expenses related to providing water under average (“base”) demand conditions.
Extra: The extra category includes costs related to providing water above the system average demand (i.e., related to peak, “extra” usage).
Meters and Services: These include costs related to maintaining infrastructure and operating capacity to provide service at any time under the proposed water service fee rates in this study.
Customer Service: This category contains costs associated with serving customers, such as billing and answering customer inquiries.
4.2 Proposed Cost Allocation
This section determines the percentage of the annual revenue requirement to be collected from each rate or charge (consisting of the volume rate and the fixed meter fee) based on the actual costs attributable to each rate or charge and establishes that each parcel’s total water bill will not exceed the proportional cost of service for that parcel.
It is proposed that the AWWA recommended cost categories of Base and Extra be combined as the proposed volume (usage) rate is a single tier applied to all levels of use. The volume rate is proposed to recover utilities and maintenance costs as well as 50% of wages, benefits, and professional services, see Table 9. The fixed meter fee is proposed to be made up of the AWWA recommended cost categories Meters and Services and Customer Service. The fixed charge will recover expenses for supplies, insurance, vehicles, SGMA fees, City overhead, and 50% of wages, benefits, and professional services.
City of Kingsburg Page 17
Water Rate Study 2025
Table 9 below allocates the budgeted costs for test year FY2025/26, where the fixed meter fee for operations and maintenance is correlated with fixed costs regardless of the amount of customers’ water use and the volume rate for water delivery is correlated with the actual costs of water supply and delivery. The FY2025/26 cost of each category is multiplied by the allocation percentages shown to calculate the total amount of revenue to be recovered from the volume and fixed rates. In total, the volume rate is proposed to recover 39.67% of costs and the fixed meter fee is proposed to recover
60.33% of operating costs. The volume rate is intended to recover the costs of delivering water to customers. The proposed fixed meter fees are intended to recover the fixed operating costs shown below plus debt service costs, capital expenses, and accumulation of reserves.

SECTION 5: WATER RATE DESIGN
Following the allocation of costs, the next step is to derive the total cost responsibility for each customer class by developing unit costs of service for each cost function and then assigning those costs to the customer classes based on the respective service requirements of each.
5.1 Billing Units
AWWA guidelines recommend using meter equivalents to assign demand-related costs to larger meter sizes. The ratio at which the meter charge increases is typically a function of either meter investment (estimated cost) or the meter’s safe operating capacity. Larger meters have the ability to place a greater demand on the water system and are therefore charged based on that potential demand. For example, based on the AWWA meter capacity ratios, a customer that has a 2” meter has 3.20 times the capacity equivalency of a customer with a 1” meter—a 2” meter has a safe operating capacity of 160 gallons per minute (gpm) compared to a 1” meter which has a safe operating capacity of 50 gpm. It is proposed that meter sizes of 5/8”, 3/4", and 1” be grouped into a single category with an assumed maximum flow rate of 50 gpm. The 1” meter size is the California building code standard for residential construction due to fire flow needs.
Table 10 shows the proposed meter equivalents based on AWWA standards. The alignment of the fixed rates with the proposed meter equivalents will ensure that each meter size is charged based on their proportional impact on the system. The meter sizes and customer counts shown below differ slightly from the customer counts provided in Table 4. Through the rate study process, the City audited its commercial customers and updated its meter size records. Table 10 reflects updated records and proposed customer counts over the next five years.
In addition to updating its customer records, the City intends to meter the currently unmetered apartment complexes within its service area. For planning purposes, it is assumed that half of the apartment complexes will be served by 1” meters and half will be served by 2” meters. It is assumed that all unmetered single family residential customers will eventually be served by 1” meters.

Table 11 estimates the water usage of currently metered customers as well as unmetered customers that are proposed to be transitioned to metered service. It is assumed that existing customers will reduce their usage by 5% in response to the new rates (i.e. the increased cost per 1,000 gallons and the elimination of the 11,000 gallon water allotment that is currently included in the Base Fee). Water usage estimates for unmetered customers were based on usage trends of other City customers. The rate design proposed in this report eliminates the current allotment of 11,000 gallons included in the Base Fee and instead bills customers a volume rate for every 1,000 gallons consumed.

5.2 Rate Calculation
Table 12 provides the water rate calculation over the next five years. Operations and maintenance expenses (O&M) are allocated to volume and fixed charges based on the percentages shown in Table 9 based on the FY2025/26 test year. Volume rate revenue is divided by the water usage estimate shown in Table 11 to calculate the rate per 1,000 gallons. Miscellaneous revenue (penalty fees and interest earnings) is deducted from the amount of revenue to be collected from the fixed meter fee. Debt service, capital costs, and the accumulation of reserves are also funded through the fixed meter fee. The total revenue requirement of the fixed meter fee is divided by the meter equivalents shown in Table 10 and then divided by 12 months to calculate the meter fee for a 1” meter.

5.2.1 Drought Rates
Drought rates are only implemented during a water shortage emergency, allowing for financial stability due to reduced water sales. During times of water shortages, a water utility has two core objectives: (1) to reduce the amount of water customers consume, and (2) to maintain an adequate amount of revenue to continue operations. The two competing objectives work against each other because as less water is sold, it becomes more difficult to maintain adequate revenue to cover an agency’s costs. It should be noted that under drought conditions, certain expenses will decrease relative to the decrease in water use, primarily electricity and maintenance. However, other costs to operate the water system such as staffing and maintaining long-term supply remain the same.
City of Kingsburg Page 22
Water Rate Study 2025
Drought rates are designed to cover costs at decreased levels of consumption. The City recognizes that ratepayers are already doing their part to conserve. Therefore, applying the drought surcharge to only the volume rates gives customers the increased ability to control a portion of their water bills. The proposed drought rates would be charged on a temporary basis and would be phased out when the City determines that water supply conditions have returned to normal and drought-related costs and revenue reductions have been recovered.
Table 13 shows the FY2025/26 expenses recovered in the volume rate as derived in Table 9. During water shortage emergencies, it is expected that utilities and maintenance costs will decrease proportionally to the decrease in consumption. Costs for staffing and professional services related to water delivery will remain the same. The volume revenue requirement for water shortage cutbacks of 10% to 50% are shown below. The revenue requirement is then divided by estimated consumption under each cutback scenario to calculate the FY2025/26 drought rate. Drought rates for future years are calculated by increasing the rates shown below by 4% annually (i.e. the annual increase in operating costs).

5.2.2 Proposed Five-Year Rate Plan
Table 14 provides the five-year schedule of proposed rates. To calculate the proposed fixed monthly rates for meter sizes above 1”, the rate per meter equivalent per month is scaled by the meter ratio for each meter size. The allotment of 11,000 gallons of water use included in the current Base Fee is proposed to be eliminated and all usage will be billed at the volume rates. The drought rates are only intended to be implemented during a water shortage emergency. The rates are calculated in this study as described above to produce rates that will be necessary to recover only the actual cost of the water service per parcel.

These rates will only be implemented by a vote of the City Council during a water shortage emergency.
The meter fees are proposed to remain the same during drought conditions. Unmetered customers are proposed to be charged the 1” meter fee plus volume charges calculated as the drought rate times assumed usage as noted in Table 15. Because the actual water consumption of unmetered customers is unknown and not directly billed, it is assumed that these customers would not conserve during a drought.

5.2.3 Bill Impacts
Table 16 provides sample bill impacts for the typical average monthly residential bill, winter bill, and summer bill under the proposed rates. As shown in the table, bill impacts for the typical customer will vary throughout the year as water consumption varies seasonally. The average monthly bill will increase by 44%. Table 17 provides a 5-year outlook for the average, winter, and summer single family monthly bills.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING PROPOSED
ADJUSTMENTS TO WATER RATES
Hearing Date & Time
May 21, 2025, at 6:00 p.m.
Kingsburg City Council Chamber
1401 Draper Street, Kingsburg, 93631
Dated: March 28, 2025
You are receiving this notice as an owner of property or a rate payer receiving water service from the City of Kingsburg (City). The City Council will hold a public hearing on May 21, 2025, to hear public input and to consider and potentially approve water rate changes for the next five years. Para información en español por favor escanear el código QR de arriba.
Background
The City of Kingsburg owns and operates a water transmission and distribution system with the service goals of providing safe, clean, and reliable drinking water to our customers. The City engaged an independent ratemaking consultant to conduct a rate study to estimate revenues, expenses, and capital improvement costs over the next five years and to recommend rates sufficient to cover those costs. In addition, the rate study proposed adjustments to the user classifications and rate formula to ensure equitable rates for all customers. The proposed water rates do not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to each parcel. The cost of service includes operating costs, debt service payments, capital expenses, and maintaining reasonable reserves.
Need for a Rate Adjustment
The City last increased rates in 2019 and the cost of water production has increased significantly since then due to several key factors, including compliance with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), the implementation of advanced water treatment methods like Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) filters, and rising regulatory requirements. Additionally, higher utility, equipment, and material costs, along with inflation, have contributed to increased operational expenses for maintaining and upgrading infrastructure, water treatment, and delivery systems. These combined factors have led to higher water production costs, necessitating rate adjustments. In addition, the City plans to fund $3.9 million of infrastructure improvements over the next five years including a new test well (Well #17), water line and fire hydrant replacements, and recharge projects to sustainably manage groundwater.
Table 1 provides the City’s current monthly water rates and a five-year schedule of proposed rates. Currently, the City bills all customers (including large commercial customers) a base fee of $32.25. The base fee includes the first 11,000 gallons of monthly water usage. Usage above the first 11,000 gallons is billed rates per 1,000 gallons depending on the level of consumption.
The City also has a schedule of charges for unmetered customers based on parcel size for single family residential customers and per dwelling unit for multifamily apartments.
New rates are proposed to go into effect July 1, 2025 and each July 1 through 2029. The proposed rates include a fixed charge based on meter size. Most single family customers are served by 1” meters or smaller. If you wish to confirm your meter size please call the City utility billing department at (559) 897-5821. It is proposed that the new meter fees will no longer provide the first 11,000 gallons of water use. All usage will be billed the volume rates per 1,000 gallons shown below.

The proposed rate increases are governed by section 6 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution (Proposition 218), Government Code sections 53751 et seq. and 53759 et seq., and related laws.
Property owners subject to the proposed rates and other interested members of the public may participate in this ratemaking in a variety of ways. More information and the Water Rate Study Report are on the City’s website at https://www.cityofkingsburg-ca.gov, you may also scan the QR code above to view the dedicated web page or you can call (559) 897-5821. The City will hold a public hearing on May 21, 2025, to receive public comment, including any written protests to the proposed rates. Any property owner or other ratepayer may submit one written protest per parcel. Immediately following the close of the public hearing on May 21, 2025, protests will be counted. If valid protest are submitted for a majority of the parcels subject to the proposed rate increases, the City will not adopt the rates.
How do I file a protest or participate in the public hearing? Proposition 218 provides that “Property Related Fees” such as these proposed rates are subject to a “majority protest” process. Any property owner or other ratepayer may submit a written protest of proposed rates; provided, however, that only one protest will be counted per property. If protests are filed on behalf of a majority of the properties subject to the rates, the City cannot adopt the proposed rates.
Every written protest MUST include ALL of the following to be counted:
1. A statement that it is a protest against the proposed water rates;
2. Name of the property owner or other customer who is submitting the protest;
3. Identification of the assessor’s parcel number or street address (service address) of the property for which the protest is made; and
4. An original signature of the record owner or other customer who is submitting the protest.
Written protests may be submitted by:
1. Mail to: Prop 218 Protest, 1401 Draper Street, Kingsburg, CA 93631; or
2. In-person delivery during City business hours at 1401 Draper Street, Kingsburg, CA 93631; or
3. At the Public Hearing, before the end of the Public Hearing.
Regardless of how the written protest is submitted, it must be received by the City before the end of the public hearing to be held on May 21, 2025, beginning at 6:00 p.m. at 1401 Draper Street, Kingsburg, CA 93631. (Postmark dates will not be accepted.) To ensure protests are genuine, they will not be accepted by e‐mail or other electronic means. Please identify on the front of the envelope for any written protest, whether mailed or submitted in person to the City, that the enclosed protest is for the Public Hearing on the Proposed Water Rate Increases. Oral comments at the Public Hearing will not qualify as formal protests unless accompanied by a written protest, but the City welcomes that input.
At the end of the public hearing, protests will be counted in public view. If protests are not submitted as to a majority of the properties subject to the fees, the City may adopt the proposed rates. The first rate change, if approved, will take effect on or after July 1, 2025.
Pursuant to California Government Code 53759, a 120-day statute of limitations applies to any legal challenge to a new, increased, or extended fee. All written objections must be submitted before the end of the public hearing as stated above and a failure to timely object in writing bars any right to challenge that fee or assessment through a legal proceeding.

REPORT FROM: Alexander J. Henderson, City Manager; ICMA-CM REVIEWED BY: AP AGENDA ITEM: 1% Public Safety Sales Tax - Measure E Overview ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ___Motion _____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As we continue our development of the annual budget, staff is providing an overview of activity related to the voter-approved 1% public safety sales tax (Measure E). Measure E was approved by 72% of voters during the June 5, 2018, election. As such, the City receives monthly installments from the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA).
"Local Tax" is the general term for sales and use taxes imposed under the Bradley-Burns Uniform Sales and Use Tax Law. The basic statewide sales and use tax rate is 7.25% and is divided as follows:
• 6.00% State
• 1.00% Local Jurisdiction (City or county of place of sale or use) • 0.25% Local Transportation Fund (County of place of sale or use) "District Taxes" are imposed locally under the Transactions and Use Tax Law. The total tax rate in Kingsburg is
8.975%, which includes the statewide 7.25% plus the following:
• 1.00% Public Safety District Tax (Measure E)
• 0.725% Fresno County
Measure E is considered a transaction and use tax, which are allocated to the jurisdiction where the taxed product is received or registered (as in the case of a motor vehicle purchase). Because of this, Measure E 1% revenue collections are higher than the 1% local jurisdiction place of sale or use. For example, if a consumer purchases a new motor vehicle and registers it in Kingsburg (place of residence), the city receives the 1% sales tax for that vehicle for the purposes of Measure E. The same theory applies with destination-based purchases, which is especially relevant for online activity, which saw a sharp increase during the pandemic.
Initially, conservative estimates forecasted that Measure E would generate ~$1,000,000 annually. Fortunately, receipts have exceeded those estimates by more than double since the first full year of inception. For FY25, revenues are expected to be ~$2.6mm. Since inception, the City has received over ~$14mm in cash receipts. Some important factors have shaped revenues and expenditures during the first few years of Measure E. Examples include:
• After adoption in June 2018, the measure officially took effect in October 2018. The first fiscal “year” consisted of 9 months (Oct. 1, 2018 – June 30, 2019). Initial expenditures included mostly new equipment with limited employee hiring until staff could gauge revenue receipts.
