PUBLIC HEARING— GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 2025-01- Staff Report prepared by Community Development Director Holly Owen
Sponsor: Community Development Department
Mayor Pursell opened the public hearing at 6:14pm.
Community Development Director Holly Owen presented that the Housing Element is a Staterequired eight-year plan that identifies each community’s housing needs, available sites, and strategies to meet those needs. It is part of every city and county’s General Plan and must be approved by the State.
Kingsburg participated in the Multijurisdictional Housing Element process led by the Fresno Council of Governments, beginning in 2022. This was the City’s second time participating, the first being in 2014.
The City adopted its 6th Cycle Housing Element on July 17, 2024. Following adoption, a zoning text amendment was proposed to meet program requirements. On December 4, 2024, Council considered the amendment. Community members expressed concern about increasing the minimum allowable density on four sites. The Council adopted the zoning text amendment but excluded those proposed density increases.
Since then, staff has continued working with the California Department of Housing and Community Development and the City’s housing consultants to find alternative options that meet Kingsburg City Council Minutes

both community concerns and State compliance requirements. State has now approved our Housing Element.
Mayor Pursell opened the City Council discussion at 6:20pm. There was none.
Mayor Pursell opened the Public Comment at 6:20pm. There was none.
Mayor Pursell closed Public Comment at 6:20pm.
Continued City Council discussion:
Council said the housing element being accepted by the state is a relief, it was a gamble, but it was worth it.
Mayor Pursell closed the Public Hearing at 6:21pm.
Council Member North motioned, seconded by Council Member Smith, to adopt Resolution No. 2025-063, recommending that the City Council adopt a resolution adopting General Plan Amendment No. 2025-01, and finding that such action is consistent with the City of Kingsburg General Plan Environmental Impact Report and subsequent addendum, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183. The motion carried by a unanimous voice vote.

Developer Impact Fee Nexus Study – Proposal Discussion- Staff Report by City Manager Alexander Henderson
Sponsor: City Manager’s Office
California Government Code Section 66001, part of the Mitigation Fee Act, requires local agencies to prepare and periodically update nexus studies to justify development impact fees (DIFs) by demonstrating a reasonable relationship between new development and the need for public facilities and improvements. Assembly Bill 602, adopted in 2021, added new requirements, including that nexus studies be updated every eight years, include level-of-service analyses, and be published online. The City last updated its Nexus Study in 2016; due to the new state mandates and elapsed time, Council authorized funding for an update.
A request for proposals issued August 1, 2025, received two qualified responses—from DTA ($49,210) and Willdan Financial Services ($87,300). Both firms estimate a six-month completion timeline. Staff recommends awarding the contract to DTA, who completed the City’s 2016 study and offers the lower cost proposal. Any fee changes will be incorporated into the FY27 budget, with new rates effective July 1, 2026; projects already entitled will remain subject to current DIF rates.
Kingsburg City Council Minutes
October 15, 2025
Council Member Smith motioned, seconded by Council Member Silva, to authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with DTA to complete a development impact fee update and nexus study for the not to exceed cost of $49,210. The motion carried by a unanimous voice vote.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell & City Council
REPORT FROM: AJ O’Connell, Building Official REVIEWED BY: AJH AGENDA ITEM: Adoption of 2024 International Property Maintenance Code and 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code – 2nd Reading
ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ____Motion ____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
By adopting up-to-date Codes and Standards to regulate new construction and property maintenance, the City can maintain pace with technological changes, make new allowances for the use of new materials and methods of construction, and adapt to situations encountered by field personnel.
The proposed Ordinance as presented would repeal the current adopted 2021 International Property Maintenance Code (“IPMC”) and 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (“ISPSC”) that the City is currently enforcing and implement the 2024 editions of these same volumes. The ordinance would take effect on January 1, 2026.
The IPMC establishes minimum standards and requirements for a premises and structures thereon for light, ventilation, space, heating, sanitation, protection from the elements, a reasonable level of safety from fire and other hazards, and a reasonable level of sanitary maintenance. The ISPSC applies to the construction, alteration, movement, replacement, repair, and maintenance of pools and spas.
There were no significant changes to the 2024 IPMC and ISPSC from the 2021 editions, as defined through the Code Development process. However, City Staff is proposing several local amendments to the 2024 editions. The majority of these amendments have been previously approved by the Mayor and City Council in the past for preceding Code cycles.
The most notable amendments are summarized below:
Appeals (IPMC & ISPSC)
The model code currently requires a Board of Appeals to hear appeals made by the Code Official on interpretations made regarding both the IPMC and ISPSC. This Board of Appeals requires a minimum of five members, all of whom are required to have working knowledge of construction and/or property maintenance. The Board of Appeals meets on an ad-hoc basis as the need arises. Establishing this model for appeals is a challenging endeavor in a small city.
The proposed ordinance seeks to retain an amendment in the IPMC for the establishment of a Hearing Officer to adjudicate appeals. This amendment was previously approved by the City Council in June 2024.
With regards to the ISPSC, City Staff is proposing amending the appeals process to mirror that of the California Building Standards Code. This establishes consistency as the ISPSC deals with new construction and better aligns the arbitration of appeals in accordance with the California Building Standards Code.
Mold Remediation (IPMC)
Meeting Date: 11/05/2025
Agenda Item: 3
The current model code does not provide provisions for mold and mold remediation. The proposed amendment provides citations for permitting officers to declare visible mold growth as a public nuisance. This is consistent with existing California state law.
This amendment was previously approved by the City Council in June 2024.
Weeds (IPMC)
The proposed amendment establishes a maximum 4-inch height for weed growth on properties. This standard is consistent with the provisions established by Fresno County.
This amendment was previously approved by the City Council in June 2024.
California Pool Safety Act (ISPSC)
Originally passed in 1996, and amended in 2006 and 2018, the Swimming Pool Safety Act is a California state law that mandates certain safety features and drowning prevention measures to be incorporated into newly constructed or altered pools and spas. This law is significantly more stringent than the provisions in the model code. The City of Kingsburg is required by law to enforce the provisions of the Swimming Pool Safety Act and this amendment codifies those requirements.
This amendment was previously approved by the City Council in November 2022.
RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL
1. Staff recommends approving Ordinance 2025-04 Amending Various Sections of Chapters 15.07 and 15.08 of Title 15 of the Kingsburg Municipal Code Related to Property Maintenance Standards and Construction of Pools and Spas and Adopting the 2024 International Property Maintenance Code as amended, and Adopting the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code as amended, and Repealing all Previously Adopted Editions of the International Property Maintenance Code and International Swimming Pool and Spa Code.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S)
1. Council can direct staff to amend the proposed Ordinance.
2. Council can deny the proposed Ordinance and retain the existing 2021 International Property Maintenance Code, as amended, and the 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, as amended.
STRATEGIC GOAL(S) MET:
1. Improve Public Safety.
2. Preserve the Kingsburg Experience.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell & City Council
REPORT FROM: AJ O’Connell, Building Official REVIEWED BY: AJH AGENDA ITEM: Adoption of Reasonable Accommodation Ordinance – 2nd Reading ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ____Motion ____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Applicable fair housing laws and federal and state housing planning documents identify land use and zoning constraints to the development of housing for individuals with disabilities and identify reasonable accommodation to ensure equal access to housing. This staff report explains those provisions that require cities and counties to eliminate fair housing violations and implement a procedure for providing reasonable accommodation in land use, zoning and building regulations, policies, practices and procedures.
The federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 and California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities in housing and require that cities and counties take affirmative action to eliminate regulations and practices that deny housing opportunities to individuals with disabilities. More specifically, fair housing laws require that cities and counties provide individuals with disabilities or developers of housing for people with disabilities flexibility in the application of land use and zoning and building regulations, practices and procedures. Local jurisdictions must waive certain requirements when necessary to eliminate barriers to housing opportunities for individuals with disabilities. For example, a family could seek reasonable accommodation from its local jurisdiction for waiver of a residential fence height restriction so their son may use the backyard to accommodate his mental disability or fear of unprotected spaces. Reasonable accommodation can also provide flexibility in the application of a local zoning code regulation that limits the size of residences in R1 zones to allow an individual with a disability to exceed that limit to build a wheelchair ramp.
While fair housing laws intend that all people have equal access to housing, the law also recognizes that individuals with disabilities may need extra tools to achieve equality. Providing reasonable accommodation is one way for local jurisdictions to provide relief from land use and zoning and building regulations and procedures that have the effect of discriminating against the development, siting and use of housing for individuals with disabilities.
The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, which is a stand-alone document, and a part of the Consolidated Plan and California’s Housing Element statute require that local governments identify constraints to providing housing for individuals with disabilities and develop strategies for removing those constraints. In addressing the housing needs of individuals with disabilities, the statute now recognizes that local land use and zoning regulations, practices and procedures may impose barriers to developing housing for individuals with disabilities. Every jurisdiction’s housing element must have a program that:
“ . . . remove[s] constraints to, or provide[s] reasonable accommodations for housing designed for, intended for occupancy by, or with supportive services for, persons with disabilities.” Cal. Gov. Code § 65583(c)(3).
The adoption of the attached Reasonable Accommodation Ordinance has been identified as a necessary component Meeting Date: 11/05/2025
Agenda Item: 4
in our draft Housing Element, per Program 18.5.
By reviewing and revising as necessary local zoning and land use regulations, procedures and practices and adopting a reasonable accommodation ordinance, local governments will go a long way in complying with fair housing laws and furthering the housing opportunities of individuals with disabilities.
RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL
1. Staff recommends adopting Ordinance 2025-05 Adding Chapter 17.98 to the Kingsburg Municipal Code Providing a Procedure for Reasonable Accommodation in the City’s Land Use and Zoning and Building Regulations Pursuant to Fair Housing Laws.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S)

2. Council can deny the proposed Ordinance
STRATEGIC GOAL(S) MET:
1. Add a component to City Housing Element.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW
Mayor and City Council waived the first reading and introduced Ordinance 2025-05 on October 15, 2025.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In a May 2001 letter to cities, California Attorney General, Bill Lockyer, explained that local governments have an affirmative duty under fair housing laws to provide reasonable accommodation and “[i]t is becoming increasingly important that a process be made available for handling such requests that operates promptly and efficiently.” The State Attorney General, in rejecting local governments’ use of the variance or conditional use permit process to evaluate requests for reasonable accommodation under fair housing laws, explained:
“Further, and perhaps even more importantly, it may well be that reliance on these alternative procedures, with their different governing criteria, serves at least in some circumstances to encourage community opposition to projects involving desperately needed housing for the disabled. As you are well aware, opposition to such housing is often grounded on stereotypical assumptions about people with disabilities and apparently equally unfounded concerns about the impact of such homes on surrounding property values.” California Attorney General letter, May 2001 (emphasis added).

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF KINGSBURG
ADDING CHAPTER 17.98 TO TITLE 17 OF THE KINGSBURG MUNICIPAL CODE
PROVIDING REASONABLE ACCOMODAITON FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES The City Council of the City of Kingsburg does hereby ordain as follows:
Section 1. Chapter 17.98 is added to Title 17 of the Kingsburg Municipal Code follows:
Title: Reasonable Accommodation For Persons With Disabilities.
17.98.010. Purpose and Applicability.
(A) This chapter provides a procedure to request reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities seeking equal access to housing under the Fair Housing Laws in the application of zoning laws, building codes, and other land use regulations, policies and procedures. Fair Housing Laws means “Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988” (42 U.S.C. § 3601 et seq.), including reasonable accommodation required by 42 U.S.C. § 3604(f)(3)(B), and the “California Fair Employment and Housing Act” (California Government Code Section 12900 et seq.), including reasonable accommodation required specifically by California Government Code Sections 12927(c)(1) and 12955(l), as any of these statutory provisions now exist or may be amended from time to time.
(B) A request for reasonable accommodation may be made by any person with a disability, his/her representative, or any business or property owner when the application of a zoning law, building code provision or other land use regulation, policy or practice acts as a barrier to fair housing opportunities.
A person with a disability is a person who has a physical or mental impairment that limits or substantially limits one or more major life activities, anyone who is regarded as having such impairment or anyone who has a record of such impairment, as those terms are defined in the Fair Housing Laws. (C) A request for reasonable accommodation may include a request for modification or exception to the rules, standards and practices for the siting, development and use of housing or housing related facilities that would eliminate regulatory barriers and provide a person with a disability equal opportunity to housing of their choice. Requests for reasonable accommodation shall be made in the manner prescribed by this chapter.
(D) It is the intent of this chapter that, notwithstanding time limits provided to perform specific functions, application review, decision making and appeals proceed expeditiously, especially where the request is time sensitive, so as to reduce impediments to equal access to housing.
17.98.020. Application Submittal.
(A) Any person with a disability, or his or her representative, may request reasonable accommodation on a form supplied by the Community Development Department. The request shall include the following information, and be accompanied by a fee established by resolution of the city council:
2 (1) The applicant’s or representative’s name, mailing address, email address, and daytime phone number;
(2) The address of the property for which the request is being made; (3) The specific code section, regulation, procedure or policy of the city from which relief is sought;
(4) A site plan or illustrative drawing showing the proposed accommodation; (5) An explanation of why the specified code section, regulation, procedure or policy is preventing, or will prevent, the applicant’s use and enjoyment of the subject property; (6) The basis for the claim that Fair Housing Laws apply to the individual(s) and evidence satisfactory to the city supporting the claim. Evidence may include a letter from a medical doctor or other licensed health care professional, a disabled license, or any other relevant evidence; (7) A detailed explanation as to why the accommodation is reasonable and necessary to afford the applicant an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling in the city; (8) Verification by the applicant that the property is the primary residence of the person(s) for whom reasonable accommodation is requested; and (9) Other information required by the city to make the findings required by Section
17.98.040 of this section consistent with the Fair Housing Laws.
B. A request for reasonable accommodation may be filed at any time the accommodation may be necessary to ensure equal access to housing. If the project for which the request for reasonable accommodation is being made also requires discretionary approval, the applicant shall provide required submittal information to the city together with the application for discretionary approval and shall pay all applicable fees. These materials shall enable the city to concurrently review the accommodation request and the discretionary approval request. Processing procedures for the discretionary approval request shall govern joint processing of both the reasonable accommodation and the discretionary permit.
C. Reasonable accommodation does not affect or negate an individual’s obligations to comply with other applicable regulations not at issue or related to the requested accommodation.
D. If an individual needs assistance in making the request for reasonable accommodation, the city shall provide assistance to ensure the process is accessible.
E. Should the request for reasonable accommodation be made concurrently with a discretionary permit, the fee for a reasonable accommodation application may be waived; provided, that the prescribed fee shall be paid for all other discretionary permits. 3 17.98.030. Review Authority.
A. Applications for reasonable accommodation shall be reviewed by the Community Development Department Director (“director”) when no discretionary approval is sought other than the request for reasonable accommodation.
B. Applications for reasonable accommodation submitted for concurrent review with any discretionary land use application shall be reviewed by the city authority governing the discretionary land use application.
17.98.040. Findings.
A. The review authority shall approve the request for a reasonable accommodation if, based upon all of the evidence presented, the following findings can be made:
1. The housing, which is the subject of the request for reasonable accommodation, will be occupied by an individual with disabilities protected under Fair Housing Laws;
2. The requested accommodation is reasonable and necessary to make housing available to an individual with disabilities protected under the Fair Housing Laws;
3. The requested accommodation will not impose an undue financial or administrative burden on the city, as defined in the Fair Housing Laws and interpretive case law; and
4. The requested accommodation will not require fundamental alteration or frustrate application of the city’s zoning or building laws, policies and/or procedures, as defined in the Fair Housing Laws and interpretive case law. The city may consider, but is not limited to, the following factors to determine whether the requested accommodation would fundamentally alter or frustrate application of the city’s zoning or building laws, policies, and/or procedures:
(a) Whether granting the accommodation would fundamentally alter the character of the neighborhood;
(b) Whether granting the accommodation would result in a substantial increase in traffic or insufficient parking; and
(c) Whether granting the accommodation would substantially undermine any express purpose of either the city’s general plan or an applicable specific plan.
17.98.050. Decision.
A. The review authority shall consider the application, and issue a written determination within 30 calendar days of the date of receipt of a completed application. However, if the project for which the request for reasonable accommodation being made also requires discretionary approval, the written determination of the request for reasonable accommodation will be made concurrently with the decision 4 regarding the discretionary approval. At least 10 calendar days before issuing a written determination on the application, the city shall mail notice to the applicant and adjacent property owners that the city is considering the application and invite written comments as to the requested accommodation.
B. If necessary to reach a determination on any request for reasonable accommodation, the review authority may request further information from the applicant or others consistent with this chapter, specifying in detail what information is required. If a request for further information is made of the applicant, the time period to issue a written determination shall be extended until the applicant responds to the request.
C. The review authority’s written decision shall include findings and conditions of approval.
The applicant shall be given notice of the right to appeal, and the right to request reasonable accommodation related to the appeal process. The review authority’s decision shall be mailed to the applicant by certified mail and regular mail, to any person who provided written or verbal comment on the application, and to any other person who requests notice.
D. Any approved reasonable accommodation shall be subject to any conditions imposed on the approval consistent with the purposes of this chapter.
E. The review authority may approve alternative accommodations that provide equivalent and reasonable levels of benefit to the applicant.
F. The written decision of the reviewing authority shall be final, unless appealed as set forth below.
G. While a request for reasonable accommodation is pending, all laws and regulations otherwise applicable to the property subject to the request shall remain in full force and effect.
H. Where improvements or modifications approved through a reasonable accommodation would generally require a variance, a variance shall not be required.
17.98.060. Appeals.
A. Any decision on a reasonable accommodation request may be appealed to the city council, which appeal must be received by the city within 10 calendar days after the issuance of a written decision on the request for reasonable accommodation.
B. The appeal shall be in writing and shall include a statement of the grounds for appeal, and be accompanied by a fee established by resolution of the city council. If an individual needs assistance in filing an appeal, the city shall provide assistance to ensure the appeals process is accessible.
C. The city council shall hear the matter de novo, and shall render a determination as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 60 calendar days after an appeal has been filed. All determinations by the City Council shall address and be based upon the same findings required to be made in the original determination from which the appeal is taken. 5 D. The city shall provide notice of an appeal hearing to the applicant, adjacent property owners, and any other person requesting notification at least 10 calendar days prior to the hearing. The city council shall announce its findings within 30 calendar days after the hearing, unless good cause exists for an extension. The decision shall be mailed to the applicant by certified mail and regular mail and to any other person who requests notice at the time of the hearing. The city council’s action shall be final.
17.98.070. Waiver of Time Periods.
A. Notwithstanding any provisions in this chapter regarding the occurrence of any action within a specified period of time, an applicant may request additional time beyond that provided for in this chapter or may request a continuance regarding any decision or consideration by the city of a pending appeal. The director may, in its sole discretion, grant or deny any such request for extension or continuance.
The granting of an extension of time or continuance shall not be deemed delay on the part of the city, shall not constitute failure by the city to provide prompt decisions on applications and shall not be a violation of any required time period set forth in this chapter.
17.98.080. Notice to the Public of Availability of Accommodation Process.
A. The city shall prominently display in the public areas of the Community Development Department a notice advising those with disabilities or their representatives that reasonable accommodations are available in accord with this chapter. City employees shall direct individuals to the display whenever requested to do so or if they reasonably believe individuals with disabilities or their representatives may be entitled to reasonable accommodation.
17.98.090. Expiration, Time Extension, Violation, Discontinuance, and Revocation.
A. Any reasonable accommodation approved in accordance with the terms of this chapter shall expire within 24 months from the effective date of approval or at an alternative time specified as a condition of approval unless:
1. A building permit has been issued and construction has commenced;
2. A certificate of occupancy has been issued;
3. The use is established; or
4. A time extension has been granted.
B. The director may approve a time extension for reasonable accommodation for good cause for a period or periods not to exceed three years. Application for a time extension shall be made in writing to the Community Development Department no less than 30 days or more than 90 days prior to the expiration date.

6 D. Any reasonable accommodation approved in accordance with the terms of this chapter may be revoked if any condition or term of the reasonable accommodation is violated, or if any law or ordinance is violated in connection therewith. Notice of revocation shall be mailed to the applicant by certified mail and regular mail and to the owner of any property affected by the accommodation. Upon revocation, the director may require any physical alteration associated with the reasonable accommodation to be removed or substantially conform to the code, as may be reasonably feasible.
E. An accommodation is granted only to an individual. The accommodation shall not run with the land unless the director expressly finds the modification is physically integrated on the property and cannot feasibly be removed or altered. Any change in use or circumstances that negates the basis for the grant of approval may render the reasonable accommodation null and void and/or revocable by the city.
Thereafter the director may require the reasonable accommodation to be removed or substantially conformed to the code if reasonably feasible.
17.98.10. Amendments.
A. A request for changes in conditions of approval of a reasonable accommodation, or a change to plans that affects a condition of approval shall be treated as a new application and shall be processed in accordance with the requirements of this chapter. The director may waive the requirement for a new application and approve the changes if the changes are minor, do not involve substantial alterations or addition to the plan or the conditions of approval, and are consistent with the intent of the original approval.

REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell & City Council
REPORT FROM: Community Services Director Adam Castaneda REVIEWED BY: AJH AGENDA ITEM: Special Event Street Closure Request for Kingsburg First Baptist Church ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ___Motion _____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On October 5, 2022, the City Council approved the updated Special Event Application and the street closure policy update. The policy states that all closures of central commercial streets must be approved by the Council unless there is a pre-approved agreement.
Under this policy, local non-profit organizations can request the closure of central commercial streets for community-based events. Applications must be received at least forty-five (45) days before the proposed event date for Council approval. Administrative approval must be sought and granted for event rescheduling due to inclement weather forecasts or emergencies.
Kingsburg First Baptist Church is submitting a request to partially close Washington Street for its upcoming Community Christmas event from December 4, 2025, to December 15, 2025.
This event will be open to the public and will feature an ice rink, a live nativity, craft stations, and food vendors.
Staff believe the proposed event meets most current policy guidelines and is eligible for consideration for a street closure by the Council. The application has been distributed internally for departmental input and has received several conditions of approval.
Additional conditions of approval:
• Fire lane to be maintained between vendors in case of an emergency. • No vehicle access allowed within the street closure during event hours. • Additional trash receptacles and restrooms to be ordered based on attendance projections. • At least one (1) green organic trash cart on site for food vendors to discard food waste. • Certificate of liability insurance listing the City of Kingsburg as additionally insured.
RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL
1. Staff has evaluated the application for policy compliance and has no pending concerns regarding the application.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S)
1. The council could choose not to approve the requested closures.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell, Jr. & 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 June 30, 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
4.269%.
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. At the end of the third quarter, the interest rate for CA CLASS was at 4.343%.
The monthly financial summaries attached provide a detailed report of the City’s cash and investments.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell & City Council
REPORT FROM: Stephanie Bennett, Management Assistant REVIEWED BY: AJH AGENDA ITEM: Lobbying Services Agreement – Townsend Public Affairs ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ____Motion ____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2022, the Finance Committee, and ultimately, Council, approved a contract with Townsend Public Affairs to assist staff with grant writing and lobbying services on behalf of the city. The city subsequently signed a one-year contract with TPA at $6,500 per month. The contract was again extended in 2023 and 2024.
The current contract, if renewed, will begin on December 1, 2025, at $6,000 per month (the current rate). The contract will automatically renew for successive one (1) year terms unless either party provides written notice of its intent not to renew at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term. If renewed, the contract amount would increase 3% each year annually, beginning in December 2026.
Since the beginning of our working relationship, staff has utilized their services consistently and believes that with additional infrastructure funding still funneling to local governments, it remains a worthwhile investment to continue with their services. TPA provides both State and Federal legislative updates that eases burden on staff and allows for the City to take formal positions on pieces of legislation that have an impact on Kingsburg.
Some highlights of successful assistance include:
1. $350,000: State Budget Bill (Fire Engine); completed via Lobbying efforts
2. $180,000: Caltrans Clean California Grant (Heritage Park)
3. Assisted with Tri-County Health Care District grants (two cycles)
4. $1,000,000: Federal Community Project Allocation; City Hall/EOC Project (Costa)
RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL
1. Staff recommends approving the agreement with Townsend Public Affairs as presented.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S)
1. The council could choose not to recommend renewal of the contract to Townsend Public Affairs.
STRATEGIC GOAL(S) MET:
1. Financial Stability
2. Preserve the Kingsburg Experience
3. Community Safety

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell & City Council
REPORT FROM: Alexander J. Henderson, ICMA-CM REVIEWED BY: CW AGENDA ITEM: Measure E Renewal – Ballot Language Discussion ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution _ __Motion ___Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On June 5, 2018, Kingsburg voters enacted Measure E, a 1% Public Safety Sales Tax that supports ongoing allowed efforts. The Measure passed after receiving 72% support. The Measure went into effect on October 1, 2018 for a period of ten (10) years, as outlined in the original ballot language. Unless it is extended, Measure E will expire on September 30, 2028.
Council previously entered a contract with Best Best & Krieger LLP (“BBK”) to provide legal consultation for the renewal effort. As the renewal process moves forward, the next step for the City Council will be to select appropriate ballot language for consideration. Included are four ballot language options for Council review, each designed to reflect varying approaches to the Measure E extension. Staff is presenting these options to allow for thorough discussion and refinement prior to formal adoption. No action is needed this evening as Council will have the opportunity to give formal direction at the November 19 regular meeting.
Also included in the packet is an impartial analysis and argument in favor that were submitted as part of the 2018 effort. Council will have the opportunity to provide the same as part of the official consideration at the first meeting in January.
RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL
1. Informational only. Council may ask for additional information or language options.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S)
1. N/A
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION/KEY METRIC
1. Community Safety
2. Preserving the Kingsburg Experience
3. Financial Stability
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Meeting Date: 11/05/2025
Agenda Item: 11
FISCAL IMPACT:
1. Is There A Fiscal Impact? Yes
2. Is it Currently Budgeted? Yes
3. If Budgeted, Which Line? 106 – Measure E
The original ballot measure included ~$10,000 in election expenses for Fresno County to conduct. The Fresno County Clerk has provided an initial estimate of $20,000-$25,000 for a 2026 measure but has said it will ultimately depend upon the number of other entities on the ballot and length of our measure.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW
The Finance Committee began discussing the renewal efforts for Measure E on February 24, 2025, and recommended continuing this discussion with the Council to establish a team that will assist with the renewal effort. This allowed us to establish a timeline for deliverables, community input and education, as well as a budget that coincides with the FY2026 budget.
The Finance Committee & Council subsequently made the following recommendations:
- Preferred Election date of June 2, 2026
- Directed staff to get quotes for both legal and marketing/education consultants to assist in the effort. - Asked for input from the existing Measure E Oversight Committee. - Provided input on the renewal guidelines, including keeping some form of a sunset clause. - Discussion of impacts to both departments if the Measure is not extended.
Staff sought additional council input during the March 5, 2025 Council Meeting. Council supported a renewal effort for the June 2, 2026 election with mixed feedback on the sunset clause. Council also discussed polling but noted how costly it can be; we can add it to the proposals if needed. Mayor Pursell discussed the Council and the labor groups responsibility to reach out to citizens.
Council directed staff to enter into a legal agreement with BBK during their April 2, 2025 regular meeting.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
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 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. It has sensed regressed in each of the last two fiscal years as federal stimulus funding has subsided.
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 (attachment #1).
The impact Measure E has had on our Police and Fire Departments is significant. Consistent with the Measure’s initial intent, Measure E revenue has been used solely for activities related to public safety. Below is a non-exhaustive list of examples of expenditures intended to illustrate the use of funding since inception.

• Funding for two (2) new Fire Engines

"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
As required by the ballot language, the City also established a Measure E Oversite Committee. The Committee meets annually (or as needed) to examine expenditures and ensure funds are being used as originally promised by the effort.

Options for Consideration

4. Shall the measure to continue maintaining public safety, emergency response, and neighborhood security; renewing the City of Kingsburg’s existing one-cent sales tax (originally Measure E) (no increase), generating approximately $2.6 million annually until.repealed.by.voters, to continue funding additional police officers, firefighters, and paramedics; replace outdated safety equipment; and support 911 emergency response—requiring independent citizen oversight, public reporting, and keeping 100% of funds local for Kingsburg residents, be adopted? The impartial analysis of Measure E to be placed in the Voter Information Pamphlet shall read as follows:
"The City Council of the City of Kingsburg voted unanimously to place Measure E on the June 5, 2018 ballot seeking voter approval of a 1 cent transactions and use (sales) tax. The tax would add $1.00 to the purchase price of an item that costs $100.00.
The City estimates that Measure E could generate approximately $940,000 each year to hire additional police officers to increase crime suppression and prevention; bolster firefighter and paramedic staffing levels and 911 emergency services; and restore and replace out-of-date equipment. This sales tax is a special tax, meaning revenues raised from the sales tax will go into a dedicated fund.
The Council has identified a policy for the use of proceeds from the tax to hire additional police officers to increase crime suppression and prevention; bolster firefighter and paramedic staffing levels and 911 emergency services; and restore and replace out-ofdate equipment. The creation of a Citizens' Oversight Committee and the preparation of annual expenditure report will ensure the funds are used for these purposes.
The tax will be paid in addition to current sales taxes and will be collected at the same time and in the same manner as existing sales taxes. By law, all revenues raised by Measure E will belong to the City of Kingsburg and cannot be taken by or shared with the State of California or any other agency.
A YES vote will authorize a 1 cent increase in the transactions and use (sales) tax to be used to hire additional police officers to increase crime suppression and prevention; bolster firefighter and paramedic staffing levels and 911 emergency services; and restore and replace out-of-date equipment.
A NO vote will not allow a 1 cent increase in the transactions and use (sales) tax to be used to hire additional police officers to increase crime suppression and prevention; bolster firefighter and paramedic staffing levels and 911 emergency services; and restore and replace out-of-date equipment."

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell & City Council
REPORT FROM: Abigail Palsgaard, City Clerk REVIEWED BY: AJH AGENDA ITEM: Brown Act Updates Under SB 707
ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ____Motion ____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Senate Bill 707 (SB 707), signed by Governor Newsom on October 3, 2025, makes major updates to the Ralph M.
Brown Act effective July 1, 2026. The bill aims to increase public participation and modernize meeting practices through new requirements for virtual access, transparency, and community engagement.
As an “Eligible Legislative Body,” the City of Kingsburg must provide two-way virtual participation options, adopt policies for handling virtual disruptions, maintain a dedicated and accessible meetings webpage, and make reasonable efforts to reach underrepresented groups.
Translation and interpreter assistance requirements will apply only if 20% or more of the population speaks limited English, which currently does not apply to Kingsburg. SB 707 also updates teleconferencing rules, expands allowable reasons for remote participation (such as emergencies and military service), and permits teleconferencing as an ADA accommodation.
Additional changes include new requirements to provide copies of the Brown Act to all newly elected or appointed officials, uniform posting rules for special and emergency meetings, and a permanent continuation of social media communication allowances.
Staff will bring forward several items prior to July 1, 2026, to ensure compliance with SB 707. These include implementation of a two-way phone or video platform for public participation, adoption of a policy addressing service disruptions for virtual participation, development of a policy outlining expectations for meeting decorum, updates to the City’s public meetings webpage, and a plan for outreach to underrepresented community groups.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
On October 3, 2025, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 707 (SB 707), which will bring major changes to how many public agencies hold meetings starting July 1, 2026. The goal of SB 707 is to increase public participation in local government and update the Ralph M. Brown Act to keep up with new technology.
SB 707 changes several parts of the Brown Act and adds new rules, responsibilities, and limits for legislative bodies.
The updates are divided into two groups: those that apply only to “eligible legislative bodies” and those that apply to all legislative bodies.
The City of Kingsburg is an “Eligible Legislative Body” because we are located in Fresno County, that has a population of 600,000 or more.
Eligible Legislative Bodies must:
1. Provide means for public participation through a two-way phone or video platform for all public meetings. (exemption would be an offsite meeting)
2. Before July 1, 2026 adopt in open session a policy regarding disruptions of the virtual public participation and efforts to restore service. If there is a disruption, the body must take recess and try to restore service for at least one hour. Afterward, it must adopt a finding by roll call vote confirming that good-faith efforts were made to fix the issue and that resuming the meeting serves the public interest more than delaying it further.
3. Provide a system for electronically accepting and fulfilling requests for meeting agendas. (Our website already does this)
4. Have an accessible internet webpage dedicated to information concerning public meetings and how members of the public may participate, including a link to the page on the agency’s home page.
5. Make reasonable efforts to invite groups that do not traditionally participate in public meetings to attend those meetings, such as outreach to media organizations serving non-English-speaking communities or civic engagement organizations. The legislative body has broad discretion to implement these efforts.
6. Translate the agenda and instructions on how to participate in meetings into any language spoken jointly by 20 percent or more of an applicable population that also speaks English less than “very well” according to the American Community Survey. (According to current census data only 9% of our citizens speak English less than “very well” so we would not need to translate).
7. Provide reasonable assistance to members of the public who wish to use personal interpreters, such as arranging space for interpreters and allowing extra time for interpretation.
8. The new webpage requirements for webpages dedicated to information concerning public meetings must be translated into any language spoken jointly by 20 percent or more of an applicable population that also speaks English less than “very well” according to the American Community Survey. (According to current census data only 9% of our citizens speak English less than “very well” so we would not need to translate).
9. Make a physical location, within reasonable proximity to the location where the agenda is posted, freely accessible to the public so the public may post additional translations of that agenda.
The law does allow a legislative body or its presiding officer to remove or limit participation from individuals engaging in disruptive behavior, regardless of whether the individual is attending in-person or via two-way audiovisual or telephonic services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
1. Is There A Fiscal Impact? Yes
2. Is it Currently Budgeted? No
3. If Budgeted, Which Line? N/A
Teleconferencing Updates:
SB 707 updates and expands the Brown Act’s teleconferencing rules to make them more consistent and accessible.
The new law clarifies notice, disclosure, and public participation requirements for meetings held by teleconference.
It reorganizes the existing provisions for teleconferencing during emergencies and adds new allowances, including local emergencies declared by a city or county, and just cause reasons such as family or medical emergencies and military service.
Additionally, SB 707 allows agencies to provide teleconferencing as a reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Members using this option must identify anyone present with them and appear by audio and video unless their disability prevents it.
Other Changes Under SB 707
Copies of the Brown Act: Agencies must now provide a copy of the Brown Act to anyone elected or appointed to a legislative body.
Stricter Meeting Rules: The law removes the limitation on which appointed bodies may adopt stricter open meeting requirements, allowing any legislative body to do so.
Special and Emergency Meetings: All legislative bodies must now follow the same website posting and notice rules for special and emergency meetings.
Social Media Rules: The existing allowance for officials to use social media to communicate separately with the public—so long as a majority does not discuss official business—has been made permanent.
Although it is not mandated, it is recommended that Council passes a meeting decorum policy that clearly outlines the expectations of the public during meetings. I have attached an example from Huntington Beach.

MeetingDecorum&AgendaComments
Meeting Decorum:
During a meeting of the City Council, there is the need for the City Council to carry out the public business expeditiously in order to ensure that the public has an opportunity to be heard and that the City Council has an opportunity for its deliberative process. While any meeting of the City Council is in session, the following rules shall be observed:
A. A member of the public addressing the City Council shall only do so from the podium or designated area. All comments shall be addressed to the City Council as a whole or to the Presiding Officer, and not to any single City Councilmember, City staff, or member of the audience. A member of the public addressing the City Council shall not engage in any conduct which disrupts the orderly conduct of any City Council meeting.
B. No person in the audience at a City Council meeting shall engage in conduct that disrupts the orderly conduct of any City Council meeting, including, but not limited to, the utterance of loud, threatening or abusive language, whistling, clapping, stomping of feet, repeated waving of arms or other disruptive acts.
C. Members of the audience and speakers shall not wear or display signs, placards, banners, hats, costumes or similar items at any time in the City Council Chambers that obstruct the view of other audience members. In no event shall signs, placards, banners, props or similar items be larger than 18x24”, illuminated, attached to any pole, stick or other device. Signs shall remain with the holder and shall not be placed in adjacent seats or in common areas.
D. No person shall interrupt City Councilmembers or the City Clerk during a City Council meeting.
E. The Chief of Police will assign a Sergeant-at-Arms to all City Council meetings. All persons attending a City Council meeting shall obey any lawful order or direction of the Presiding Officer or Sergeant-at-Arms.
Public Comments, Supplemental Communications and Presentation Materials on Council Agenda Items
Public Comments, Supplemental Communications and Presentation Materials on Council Agenda Items: Options to correspond with the City Council on Council agenda items are identified below.
Please review each section to determine the method of choice for delivery of information.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
To ensure the public's right to provide meaningful public comments during a scheduled City Council meeting, each published agenda cover sheet provides updated instructions on how members of the public can participate, based on the special circumstances in place for that meeting. Individuals wishing to provide a comment on agendized or non-agendized items including Study Session, Closed Session, and Public Hearing, may do so in person in the City Council Chambers by completing a Request to Speak form delivered to the City Clerk. Sign-ups to Request to Speak will begin in person 30 minutes prior to the start of Study Session, Closed Session, or Regular City Council Meeting, whichever comes first. Sign-ups will be accepted until the commencement of the public comment period.
Speakers are encouraged, but not required to identify themselves by name. Each person may have up to 3 minutes to speak, but the Mayor, at their discretion, may reduce the time allowance if warranted by the volume of speakers. The Public Comment process will only be active during designated portions of the agenda (Public Comment and/or Public Hearing).
SUPPLEMENTAL COMMUNICATION
Members of the public interested in commenting on agenda-related items may submit a written (supplemental) communication to the City Council via email at SupplementalComm@SurfCity- hb.org. Supplemental Communications are considered public record. Communications received by 5:00 PM Monday prior to the City Council meeting will be distributed to the City Council, posted to the City website, and announced at the City Council meeting, though not read. Please note that Supplemental Communications can only be submitted to [email protected].
Communications received Monday after the 5:00 PM deadline will only be included in the administrative record.
PRESENTATION MATERIALS:
Due to updates to City Council venue, digital presentations or videos will no longer be displayed at City Council meetings as part of public comment. To present images or materials to the City Council, please bring nine paper copies to the City Council meeting. Paper copies will be distributed to City Council Members at the meeting and will be made part of the public record.
Please be advised that the rules concerning decorum, including the prohibition on members of the audience and speakers wearing or displaying signs or materials that obstruct the view of other audience members, remain in effect at the Library location. Signs shall remain with the holder and shall not be placed in the adjacent seats or in common areas.
