Draper St. Construction– Staff Report by: City Manager Alexander Henderson Sponsor: City Manager’s Office
Engineer Dave Peters presented on the current condition of Draper Street. There has been reveling occurring in the bike lanes. Staff presented two options, and they recommend option 2 where the contractor will slurry seal type 2 in the bike lane of travel to the gutter all the way down Draper. City Engineer explained that under our contract, it would just be patching the trouble area, not the full road, which is option 1.
Kingsburg City Council Minutes
July 16, 2025
Council Member Silva clarified the areas that need the slurry and wanted to make sure this slurry seal will fix the issue. He believes the contractor should have to pay for the striping and asked if we should have used the type 2 slurry from the beginning. City Manager Henderson stated that if we could have afforded to, we would have re-done the whole road with type 2 slurry seal. It was costly and it would have closed the street for a longer amount of time. Contractor Don Berry does a great job, but he believes they should at least split the striping costs.
Council Member Palomar asked if a sub-contractor did the slurry seal, and why did this happen. Engineer Peters said yes, it was a subcontractor and that we have been focusing on solutions, once it is fixed, we will do a post-mortem. Council Member Palomar asked about the warranty and the timeline. City Engineer Peters explained the warranty. The work will be done in August, traffic will still be able to go through, they will just not able to park.
Council Member Smith agrees with option 2, she does not want a patch job on Draper. She appreciates that Don Berry is willing to do this.
Wayne Burger, resident, believes the contractor should pay for the striping.
Council Member Silva stated he doesn’t feel great about spending the money, we do not know how the road will look after summer. It would feel better if we received another oneyear contract to address issues.
Mayor Pursell stated that Don Berry is a contractor that does a lot of projects for us, and this is the first and only issue that has come up. He feels comfortable with paying for the striping since they are coming to the table with a reasonable fix. They are a local business, and they take pride in their projects. Engineer Peters agrees.
Council asked how confident Engineer Peters is with the repair, Engineer Peters believes that this is a fix that will be successful.
A motion was made by Council Member Palomar, seconded by Council Member Smith to use treatment Option #2, and to authorize the City Manager to execute a contract to complete the repairs and associated pavement markings. The motion passed with a voice vote of 3 yeses and Council Member Silva voting no.
FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS: None.

TO: Mayors, Council Members, City Clerks, and City Managers RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 8-10, 2025 Long Beach Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.
Taking place on Oct. 10, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Wed., Sept. 24. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.
Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.
Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.
Council Action Advised by September 24, 2025
For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.
Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.
Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.
Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Oct. 16, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 17, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 18, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.
The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.
Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.
Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Wednesday, Sept. 24. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

• Information Sheet: Cal Cities Resolutions and the General Assembly 1400 K Street, Suite 400, Sacramento, CA 95814 • 916.658.8200 • calcities.org General Assembly Voting Guidelines
1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.
2. Designating a City Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee.
3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.
4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city’s voting card by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.
5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.
6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of a city official to vote at the General Assembly.
Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.
How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.
The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.
The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.
Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.
Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.
Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.
Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.
The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.
Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.
Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.
During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.
Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.
For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.
General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f).
CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell & City Council
REPORT FROM: Christina Windover, Assistant City Manager REVIEWED BY: AJH AGENDA ITEM: Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority Resolution ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ____Motion ____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority (“CSJVRMA”) is a member-driven Joint Powers Authority that provides cost-effective risk financing and loss control services to its 53 municipal member agencies from the Central San Joaquin Valley. The CSJVRMA is a public entity formed by a joint powers agreement in accordance with California Government Code for the purpose of pooling funds to provide coverage for indemnification and defense and to purchase excess insurance for certain civil claims involving general liability, worker’s compensation, and property damage. The CSJVRMA is has met all of the high professional standards established by the California Association of Joint Powers Authorities (“CAJPA”) and has received the highest designation of Accredited with Excellence from CAJPA.
The City of Kingsburg is a member of the CSJVRMA. The JPA which was created establishing the CSJVRMA desires to amend the agreement, which requires approval of the City Council of two thirds of the members of the CSJVRMA.
The JPA dated July 1, 1994, and as amended July 1, 2025, is included in the packet. Also included in the packet is a letter from the CSJVRMA regarding the proposed amendments to the JPA. Proposed changes include: updated definitional terms, language that has been broadened to give leeway in the event the CSJVRMA wants to consider creating or participating in a captive agency, and an addition made pursuant to Government Code Section 6509 that was not part of the law in 1994 when CSJVRMA last amended the Agreement.
RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL
1. Approve the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement Resolution 2025-041.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S)

DATE: July 14, 2025
TO: CSJVRMA Member City Councils
FROM: Jeanette Workman, Administrator
SUBJECT: AMENDED AND RESTATED CSJVRMA JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT –
ACTION REQUIRED
The Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority’s (CSJVRMA) staff and CSJVRMA Legal Counsel, Mr. John Lavra, in conjunction with the CSJVRMA Administration and Financial Services Subcommittee, who will make recommendations to the Executive Committee, are conducting a full review of the CSJVRMA governing documents to ensure they continue to reflect the CSJVRMA’s current practices, legal requirements, and operational needs.
Pursuant to action by the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority’s (CSJVRMA) Executive Committee on June 26, 2025, we are forwarding to you an Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement for presentation and approval by your city’s city council at their earliest opportunity.
Amendments to the Joint Powers Agreement require a written resolution approved and signed by two-thirds (2/3rds) of the respective city councils of the member cities. Upon signature by twothirds (2/3rds) of the member cities, any member city failing or refusing to abide by such amendments may be involuntarily terminated as a party to the Agreement.
Mr. Lavra advised the Executive Committee that although the Joint Powers Agreement, even as last amended in 1994, meets the legal requirements as set forth in the government code for Joint Powers Authorities, the document has been updated as follows:
Definitional terms have been defined more clearly.
Language has been broadened to give leeway in the event the CSJVRMA wants to consider creating or participating in a captive agency. An addition was made pursuant to Government Code Section 6509 that was not part of the law in 1994 when CSJVRMA last amended the Agreement. The change requires JPAs to designate a member whose restrictions would apply to the operations of the JPA. Below is an excerpt from correspondence from Mr. Lavra:
“This code section was enacted to prevent a local public entity from exercising powers inconsistent with its own charter, ordinance or resolution simply by becoming a member of a JPA. JPA's are formed to permit public entities to exercise powers on a collective basis, which they could, absent the JPA, exercise individually. However, the legislature wanted to place some restriction on the power of the JPA, without that JPA having to comply with all restrictions that might be in place for all of the members of the JPA. It would be unworkable, for instance, if the JPA had to satisfy or verify any and all CSJVRMA Member City Councils
July 14, 2025
restrictions from the ordinances of all of the members of the JPA when transacting the business of the JPA. In order to strike a balance, section 6509 permits the JPA to agree to any restrictions in its exercise of powers based on the restrictions of one identified member city.”
The City of Ripon has been added to the Agreement as the designated city under Government Code Section 6509 with City of Madera listed as a secondary city in the event the City of Ripon were to terminate its membership. These two cities have no restrictions in place that would conflict with the day-to-day operations of the JPA.
To assist you in presenting this information to your city council for approval, a redline version of the Joint Powers Agreement is attached. Also attached are the following:
A proposed new Joint Powers Agreement to be executed upon approval by your city council.
A sample resolution that can be used to document the action taken by your city council in approving the Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement. This document is also being provided in a Word format to allow you to modify as appropriate for adoption by your council when approving the Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement.
Upon approval of the new Joint Powers Agreement by your city council, the final document needs to be executed by your City Manager/Administrator or an authorized individual from your city. Please forward an original, signed copy of the new Joint Powers Agreement, along with a copy of the adopted and fully executed council resolution, to Samantha Zellmer, CSJVRMA Board Secretary, at the following address:

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell & City Council
REPORT FROM: Neil G. Dadian, Chief of Police REVIEWED BY: AJH AGENDA ITEM: Transition from Sig Sauer P320 (9mm) to Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 (9mm) Handguns
ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ____Motion ____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Police Department is recommending the replacement of all department-issued Sig Sauer P320 (9mm) handguns with the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 (9mm) model. This recommendation is based upon documented incidents involving the Sig Sauer P320 discharging without trigger activation, commonly referred to as “uncommanded discharges.” Despite upgrades and public assurances by the manufacturer of the Sig Sauer P320, multiple law enforcement agencies, including several local agencies, have discontinued use of the Sig Sauer P320 platform due to the risk of possible uncommanded discharges. Even though the department has not experienced any uncommanded discharges from the department issued Sig Sauer P 320, this transition aims to eliminate any possible risk of uncommaded discharges in the future.
While the department did not conduct a formal, comprehensive in-house evaluation of the Smith & Wesson M&P
2.0 (9mm), the platform was selected based on its strong national reputation, reliable performance, and current use by the Fresno County Sheriff's Office (FCSO). FCSO has agreed to assist the department with transitional training and implementation support.
To honor service and provide a practical opportunity, the department will offer both currently sworn and retired officers the option to purchase their issued Sig Sauer P320 (9mm) handgun at fair market value. Pricing will be based on firearms condition, industry research, and input from licensed dealers. All purchasers of the Sig Sauer P320 from the department will be required to sign a release and indemnity agreement.
The department anticipates recovering a minimum of 50% of the total cost of the new handguns through internal sales to eligible officers and retirees.
Cost estimates for the transition are as follows:
• New Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 (9mm) handguns (35) with Holosun Optics: $30,067.45 • New holsters and accessories: $16,324.68
- (Includes Class A holster, duty holster, gun-mounted light, and extra magazines) • Salex Tax: $3,801.19
• Trade-in credit and internal sales of existing Sig Sauer P320 (9mm) units: minimum 50% cost recovery anticipated
• Cost of transition: $50,193.32 (does not include cost recovery via gun sales) If approved, staff estimates that the new handguns would be delivered in 60-90 days, with implementation to directly follow.
Meeting Date: 08/06/2025
Agenda Item: 5
RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL
1. Approve the Police Department’s transition from Sig Sauer P320 (9mm) to Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 (9mm) service pistols through a budget amendment and authorize an internal sale process to allow sworn and retired peace officers the option to purchase a department Sig P320 (9mm) at a fair market value, as determined through industry research and consultation with licensed firearms dealers.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S)
1. Maintain Use of Sig Sauer P320 (9mm): Continue using the Sig Sauer P320 while monitoring developments and relying on current safety training. Not recommended due to continued risks of uncommanded discharges.
2. Transition to an Alternate Firearm (e.g., Glock 17, 19, etc.): Evaluate other firearm platforms.
Not recommended at this time due to Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0’s cost-effectiveness, proven reliability, and ergonomic compatibility.
STRATEGIC GOAL(S) MET:
1. Community Safety
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW
The department adopted the Sig Sauer P320 (9mm) platform in 2022, following a prior selection process.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The department began issuing the Sig Sauer P320 (9mm) in 2022 based on a selection process that considered ergonomics, modularity, and cost. In recent years, concerns have emerged regarding uncommanded discharges from the Sig Sauer P320.
To identify a suitable replacement, the department reviewed firearm platforms commonly used by neighboring law enforcement agencies. The Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 (9mm) was identified as a viable and trusted option, currently in use by the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office and other law enforcement agencies statewide. Its adoption is expected to provide a safe and smooth transition for personnel, with minimal training obstacles and strong regional support.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell & City Council
REPORT FROM: Adam Casteneda REVIEWED BY: AJH
AGENDA ITEM: July 3rd Independence Day Event Recap
ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution _ __Motion ___Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In May, the City Council directed staff to solicit non-profit organizations to assist in providing labor to coordinate the July 3rd Independence Day Celebration after the Chamber of Commerce indicated they could no longer support the event financially or via labor. City staff and elected officials worked closely and secured a partner with the Kingsburg Seawolves Recreation Swim organization. The Seawolves representatives worked closely with City staff, led by Community Services Director Adam Casteneda, to organize, market and host the event on short notice. The city provided funding for the fireworks, provided by a third party vendor, for $25,500.
City Staff and the Seawolves held a debriefing meeting on July 17, 2025. Recap notes, as provided by the Seawolves are included in your packet. Highlights include:
• Overall, the event raised $13,347.88 through gate and parking sales. This amount is split between the Seawolves and the City. The City will use their portion towards the cost of the fireworks for next year. • Seawolves raised an additional $1,882.37 through concession sales (no city split); they were responsible for any expenses.
• The event had high turnout and social media feedback, and in-person responses were positive. The food vendors were also very happy with the evening and their sales. • Improvement opportunities: better traffic management/control on Sierra St. to handle parking and adding to entertainment options for families while they wait for the fireworks to begin.
Seawolves representatives are attending the August 6th, 2025 Council meeting to answer any questions the Council may have and provide an in-person report.
The Finance Committee did request that the Council decide on whether to hold the event for 2026 soon, thus giving all parties involved sufficient time to plan, fundraise and market the event. City staff is beginning to explore alternative funding opportunities for next year’s event, including potential sponsorship(s).
Should the Council choose to continue the event in a similar manner as conducted in 2025, staff believe the Seawolves organization should be given the right of first refusal to continue as the benefiting/partner organization. Staff believe this is prudent given their willingness to assist on short notice in 2025, overall preparation, and ability to deliver the necessary labor required to hold this event. They also have the benefit of experience after participating in this year’s festivities.
Meeting Date: 08/06/2025

The types and amounts of coverage shall be as set forth in the Scope of Work. Such insurance shall not include claims which arise from CLIENT’s negligence or willful conduct or from failure of CLIENT to perform its obligations under this Agreement, coverage for which shall be provided by CLIENT.
The coverage of these policies shall be subject to reasonable inspection by CLIENT. Certificates of Insurance and amendatory endorsements evidencing the required general liability coverages shall be furnished to CLIENT prior to the rendering of services hereunder and shall include that the following are named as additionally insured on Insurance Services Office form CG 20 10 (or equivalent) for ongoing operations: CLIENT its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers;; Sponsors, Landowners, Barge Owners, if any; and Permitting Authorities, with respect to the operations of PYRO at the Production.

Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies by PYRO shall not affect coverage provided to the CLIENT, shall secure, maintain and provide their own insurance coverage with respect to their respective operations and services.
10. Indemnification - PYRO represents and warrants that it is capable of furnishing the necessary experience, personnel, equipment, materials, providers, and expertise to produce the Production in a safe and professional manner. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, PYRO shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend CLIENT and the additional insureds from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses, including but not limited to, attorney and other professional fees and court costs, in connection with the loss of life, personal injury, and/or damage to property, arising from or out of the Production and the presentation thereof to the extent such are occasioned by any negligent act or omission of PYRO, their officers, agents, contractors, providers, or employees. CLIENT shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend PYRO from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liability and expenses, including but not limited to, attorney and other professional fees and court costs in connection with the loss of life, personal injury, and/or damage to property, arising from or out of the Production and the presentation thereof to the extent such are occasioned by any negligent act or omission of CLIENT, its officers, agents, contractors, providers, or employees. In no event shall either party be liable for the consequential damages of the other party.
11. Limitation of Damages for Ordinary Breach - Except in the case of bodily injury and property damage as provided in the insurance and indemnification provisions of Paragraphs 9 and 10, above, in the event CLIENT claims that PYRO has breached this Agreement or was otherwise negligent in performing the Production provided for herein, CLIENT shall not be entitled to claim or recover monetary damages from PYRO beyond the amount CLIENT has paid to PYRO under this Agreement, and shall not be entitled to claim or recover any consequential damages from PYRO including, without limitation, damages for loss of income, business or profits.
12. Force Majeure - CLIENT agrees to assume the risks of weather, strike, civil unrest, terrorism, military action, governmental action, and any other causes beyond the control of PYRO which may prevent the Production from being safely discharged on the scheduled date, which may cause the cancellation of any event for which CLIENT has purchased the Production, or which may affect or damage such portion of the exhibits as must be placed and exposed a necessary time before the Production. If, for any such reason, PYRO is not reasonably able to safely discharge the Production on the scheduled date, or at the scheduled time, or should any event for which CLIENT has purchased the Production be canceled as a result of such causes, CLIENT may (i) reschedule the Production and pay PYRO such sums as provided in Paragraph 13, or (ii) cancel the Production and pay PYRO such sums as provided in Paragraph 14, based upon when the Production is canceled.
13. Rescheduling Of Event - If CLIENT elects to reschedule the Production, PYRO shall be paid the original Fee plus all additional expenses made necessary by rescheduling plus a 15% service fee on such additional expenses. Said expenses will be invoiced separately and payment will be due in full within 5 days of receipt. CLIENT and PYRO shall agree upon the rescheduled date taking into consideration availability of permits, materials, equipment, transportation and labor. The Production shall be rescheduled for a date not more than 90 Days subsequent to the date first set for the Production. The Production shall not be rescheduled to a date, or for an event, that historically has involved a fireworks production. The Production shall not be rescheduled between June 15th and July 15th unless the original date was July 4th of that same year, or between December 15th and January 15th unless the original date was December 31st of the earlier year unless PYRO agrees that such rescheduling will not adversely affect normal business operations during those periods.
14. Right To Cancel – CLIENT shall have the option to unilaterally cancel the Production prior to the scheduled date. If CLIENT exercises this option, CLIENT agrees to pay to PYRO, as liquidated damages, the following percentages of the Fee as set forth in Paragraph 3.1. 1) 50% if cancellation occurs 30 or more days prior to the scheduled date, 2) 75% if cancellation occurs 15 to 29 days prior to the scheduled date, 3) 100% thereafter. In the event CLIENT cancels the Production, it will be impractical or extremely difficult to fix actual amount of PYRO’s damages. The foregoing represents a reasonable estimate of the damages PYRO will suffer if CLIENT cancels the Production.
15. No Joint Venture - It is agreed, nothing in this Agreement or in PYRO’s performance of the Production shall be construed as forming a partnership or joint venture between CLIENT and PYRO. PYRO shall be and is an independent contractor with CLIENT and not an employee of CLIENT. The Parties hereto shall be severally responsible for their own separate debts and obligations and neither Party shall be held responsible for any agreements or obligations not expressly provided for herein.
16. Applicable Law - This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall be construed in accordance with the laws of California.
It is further agreed that the Central Judicial District of San Bernardino County, California, shall be proper venue for any such action. In the event that the scope of the Production is reduced by authorities having jurisdiction or by either Party for safety concerns, the full dollar amounts outlined in this Agreement are enforceable.

1 Overview
The SRTS program was identified in 2024 being derived from funds not expended in existing programs from the 2006 Measure C Extension. Beginning in 2023, the SRTS Subcommittee has focused on the need to invest and support educational institutions throughout the County, specifically in priority communities. The goals of the Measure C Safe Routes to School allocation are to support transportation projects serving primary and secondary students in accessing public school facilities to:
• Enhance the safety of children walking or biking to school; • Prioritize schools with significant safety concerns or risk to children bicycling or walking to school based on crash data, traffic analysis, or traffic behavior around primary and secondary schools; and
• Support disadvantaged and low-income communities with fewer transportation safety options to ensure all children have access to safe routes.
The SRTS Program Guidelines were approved by the Fresno COG Policy Board and the Fresno Transportation Authority (FCTA) Board. A scoring committee membership was defined by the Safe Routes to School Subcommittee and also approved by both Boards.
It is estimated there will be a total of $6 million available for this one-time funding opportunity. No local match is required; however consideration will be given to projects where a local match funding is available.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell & City Council
REPORT FROM: AJ O’Connell, MCP, CBO, CCEA – Building Official REVIEWED BY: AJH AGENDA ITEM: Q1 & Q2 Calendar Year 2025 Code Enforcement Update ACTION REQUESTED: ____Ordinance ___Resolution ____Motion ____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In Q1 and Q2 of the 2025 Calendar Year, the Code Enforcement division engaged in robust and extensive enforcement actions throughout the community. Attached are detailed analytics and analysis of Code Enforcement efforts during this time period.
A summary of the key data points is as follows:
• 390 separate cases were generated in Q1/Q2-25, which is a 16% increase in cases generated compared to Q1/Q2-24. April and May saw the highest numbers of cases generated in Q1/Q2-25. • Cases generated proactively by Code Enforcement staff represented 78% of the cases generated in Q1/Q2-
25. In Q1/Q2-24, this number was 70%. Proactively generated cases increased by nearly 30% year-over-year while Reactive cases saw a decrease of 15%. Utilization of the Report a Concern portal on the city website accounted for nearly 65% of the cases generated Reactively, with total usage of the portal increasing 2% from Q1/Q2-24.
• General Property Maintenance represented a third of the cases generated in Q1/Q2-25, followed by Water Use Violations and Parking Violations. In Q1/Q2-24, General Property Maintenance represented the highest ratio of cases generated. The largest percentage increases in violations from Q1/Q2-24 to Q1/Q2-25 were ADA Compliance issues and Graffiti.
• Of the 390 cases generated in Q1/Q2-25, nearly 86% have already been resolved. Of the Q1/Q2-25 cases generated, Code Enforcement staff has conducted 866 inspections. • Code Enforcement staff conducted a total of 926 inspections in Q1/Q2-25. This represents a 3% increase compared to Q1/Q2-24. May was the busiest month for inspections with 171 performed. • Of the 926 inspections performed in Q1/Q2-25, the Fail rate was 64%. The Fail rate in Q1/Q2-24 was 62%. • 276 Courtesy Notices were issued for code violations in Q1/Q2-25. A total of 237 were issued in Q1/Q2-24. • Administrative Citations are a tool to obtain compliance for violations. It is not common practice for Code Enforcement staff to actively collect the debt on the issued Citations if the violator does come into compliance. 34 Administrative Citations were issued in Q1/Q2-25 with a total assessed value of $10,625. The Code Enforcement division collected $0 of assessments, which represented a recovery rate of 0%. This is a decrease in collection from Q1/Q2-24. The absence of collection is a result of Code Enforcement using Administrative Citations more frequently as a tool to gain compliance for repeat offenders and working with individual property owners to gain compliance rather than actively seeking to collect. • In April 2025, Code Enforcement staff, in conjunction with members of the Kingsburg Fire Department, led the first substantial proactive enforcement of weed violations on vacant lots within the City. This effort has led to substantial compliance by property owners, including 100% enforcement success at the Business Park. • In February 2025, Code Enforcement staff partnered with the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care to participate in the Fresno County Point-in-Time Count. Staff joined hundreds of volunteers over two separate nights in counting the number of unsheltered individuals in Fresno County and Kingsburg. The data collected in the Point-in-Time count is necessary to ensure that resources for addressing homelessness and related issues are allocated effectively.
Meeting Date: 08/06/2025
Agenda Item: 8
• In May 2025, the Mayor and City Council approved an Ordinance regarding the regulation of infectious materials and entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Fresno County Department of Public Health on enforcement of those provisions.
