STAFF REPORT
TO: Lindsay City Council
MEETING DATE: February 24, 2026
DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation Services
FROM: Armando da Silva, Director of Parks & Recreation Services AGENDA TITLE: Lindsay Orange Blossom Festival - Special Event Permit Approval

ACTION & RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the 94th Lindsay Orange Blossom Festival scheduled for Saturday, April 18
th, 2026, in Lindsay, California.

BACKGROUND | ANALYSIS
The Lindsay Orange Blossom Parade is a long-standing annual tradition in the City of Lindsay, celebrating the region’s rich agricultural heritage, particularly its history of orange cultivation. The event features a variety of activities, including a parade, live entertainment, local vendor booths, and community gatherings, attracting both residents and visitors.

The Lindsay Orange Blossom Festival committee, a dedicated local organization, plans and coordinates the event each year. Their mission is to provide a festive and welcoming atmosphere that highlights Lindsay’s cultural and economic contributions to the Central Valley.

To facilitate this event, the Committee is requesting approval for the following:

1. Street Closure – Necessary for parade routes, vendor areas, and public safety considerations.

2. Use of Public Spaces & Facilities – Including parks, streets, and city-owned event spaces used for staging and public activities.

3. City Services & Parks and Recreation Support – sanitation, and logistical assistance provided by the city.

With the City’s continued support of local traditions and community engagement, the Orange Blossom event not only enhances civic pride but also stimulates local economic activity by drawing attendees who patronize Lindsay businesses.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The estimated total waived city fees are the $500 special event permit fee and staff time. While this represents a direct reduction in city revenue, the event’s positive economic impact is expected to offset potential revenue losses. Past Orange Blossom events have demonstrated strong community participation, increasing foot traffic for local businesses, and fostering tourism in the region.

The Orange Blossom Committee will still be required to provide a Certificate of Liability Insurance for $2,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 in aggregate, with the City of Lindsay listed as the Certificate Holder. An additional $1,000,000 in liquor liability insurance is also required.

The Lindsay Orange Blossom Festival is a significant annual celebration that fosters community spirit and supports local economic development. Approving the festival aligns with the City’s commitment to cultural and economic growth, ensuring that this tradition continues to benefit Lindsay residents and businesses. Staff recommends approval of the Orange Blossom Festival.

With a mix of 32 one-bedroom units (613 gross sq. ft.) and 8 two-bedroom units (813 gross sq. ft), the proposed project will target seniors earning up to 30- 60% of the area median income for Tulare County. The Project will accommodate 75 parking spaces in the first phase.

The units will be newly constructed apartments in 1 three-story residential building. The type of construction will be wood frame supported by perimeter foundations with concrete slab flooring. This type of construction will allow the building to conform to the natural terrain with only minor amounts of grading. The exterior will be a combination of vinyl lap and shake siding with Class A composite roof shingles and stone veneer accents.

Architectural accents will be incorporated, providing an aesthetically appealing exterior that blends with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and the community of Lindsay. The development will meet Title 24 energy efficiency standards. Minimum construction standards will be adhered to in order to assure that quality family housing development is provided.

The buildings will be oriented appropriately throughout the site with the intent to create a community concept for seniors to enjoy while remaining social and active. The development will include a 2,520 sq. ft. community building with a common kitchen, exercise room, laundry facilities, and business center. Additionally, the development will include covered picnic tables with BBQs and pergolas made from non-combustible material, covered smoking area, bocce ball court, community garden and fenced dog park. An on-site resident manager will provide assistance and management while residing in a two-bedroom manager’s unit.

Within the units, tenants will enjoy standard features such as refrigerators, exhaust fans, dishwashers, disposals and ranges with ovens. All units feature an outdoor patio or balcony and storage space. The design of these apartments will adhere to all necessary requirements to satisfy Section 504 as well as any additional Item #: 12.13
Consent
mandates that the local jurisdiction deems appropriate.

In order for this project to be financially feasible, AMG & Associates (“Developer”) is requesting the following from the City Council to consider:

1. Designate the Westmore Senior Apartment Project as the project beneficiary of HOME funding should the City of Lindsay receive an award. This action would be completed by the adoption of Resolution No. 26-12. There is no cost to the City to apply for HOME project funds as the developer will bear all costs associated with the application preparation.

2. Deferral of Development Impact Fees in the amount of $300,000 which will be paid back through residual receipts beginning in year 16.

DISCUSSION
The developer's request of the City Council has two components, and this report will discuss both. Staff will begin with background on HOME Investment Partnerships Program and then will discuss the anticipated terms of the deferred impact fee loan agreement.

HOME Investments Partnerships Program
The HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) provides formula grants to States and localities that communities use - often in partnership with local nonprofit groups - to fund a wide range of activities including building, buying, and/or rehabilitating affordable housing for rent or home ownership or providing direct rental assistance to low-income people. HOME is the largest Federal block grant to state and local governments designed exclusively to create affordable housing for low-income households.

HOME funds are awarded annually as formula grants to participating jurisdictions (PJs). The program’s flexibility allows States and local governments to use HOME funds for grants, direct loans, loan guarantees or other forms of credit enhancements, or rental assistance or security deposits.

The program was designed to reinforce several important values and principles of community development:
• HOME's flexibility empowers people and communities to design and implement strategies tailored to their own needs and priorities.
• HOME's emphasis on consolidated planning expands and strengthens partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector in the development of affordable housing. • HOME's technical assistance activities and set-aside for qualified community-based nonprofit housing groups builds the capacity of these partners.
• HOME's requirement that participating jurisdictions match 25 cents of every dollar in program funds mobilizes community resources in support of affordable housing.

Types of Assistance
HOME funds are awarded annually as formula grants to participating jurisdictions. HUD establishes HOME Investment Trust Funds for each grantee, providing a line of credit that the jurisdiction may draw upon as needed. The program's flexibility allows States and local governments to use HOME funds for grants, direct loans, loan guarantees or other forms of credit enhancement, or rental assistance or security deposits.

Eligible Grantees
States are automatically eligible for HOME funds and receive either their formula allocation or $3 million, whichever is greater. Local jurisdictions eligible for at least $500,000 under the formula ($335,000 in years when Congress appropriates less than $1.5 billion for HOME) also can receive an allocation. The formula allocation considers the relative inadequacy of each jurisdiction's housing supply, its incidence of poverty, its fiscal distress, and other factors.

Eligible Customers
The eligibility of households for HOME assistance varies with the nature of the funded activity. For rental housing and rental assistance, at least 90-percent of benefiting families must have incomes that are no more than 60-percent of the HUD-adjusted median family income for the area. In rental projects with five or more assisted units, at least 20-percent of the units must be occupied by families with incomes that do not exceed 50-percent of the HUD-adjusted median. The incomes of households receiving HUD assistance must not exceed 80-percent of the area median. HOME income limits are published each year by HUD.

Eligible Activities
The PJ’s may choose among a broad range of eligible activities, using HOME funds to provide home purchase or rehabilitation financing assistance to eligible homeowners and new home-buyers; build or rehabilitate housing for rent or ownership; or for "other reasonable and necessary expenses related to the development of non-luxury housing, "including site acquisition or improvement, demolition of dilapidated housing to make way for HOME-assisted development, and payment of relocation expenses. Up to 10 percent of the PJ's annual allocation may be used for program planning and administration.

Application
Program funds are allocated to units of general local government on the basis of a formula that considers the relative inadequacy of each jurisdiction's housing supply, its incidence of poverty, its fiscal distress, and other factors. Shortly after HOME funds become available each year, HUD informs eligible jurisdictions of the amounts earmarked for them. Participating jurisdictions must have a current and approved Consolidated Plan, which will include an action plan that describes how the jurisdiction will use its HOME funds. A newly eligible jurisdiction also must formally notify HUD of its intent to participate in the program.

As part of the application process, the State Department of Housing and Community Development (hereafter “HCD”) requires a standard resolution be adopted by the applicant authorizing the submission of a project application as we l as a project beneficiary for the funds.

Attached for the Council's consideration is Resolution No. 26-12 authorizing staff to proceed with submitting an application for HOME project funds totaling $8.3 Million ($8 Million project, $300,000 administrative/program), officially declaring a specific project beneficiary, and further authorizes the City Manager to sign all appropriate documents including standard agreements, pursuant the requirements of HCD, as they relate directly to the application and project beneficiary.

Staff is requesting utilizing the tool of HOME funding because the City does not have the capacity to fund a new construction project without other resources and HOME funds are intended to be supplemental funding to more conventional funding (ie. tax credits). With the loss of Redevelopment Agency (RDA) there are limited funding opportunities for affordable housing projects in California since RDA's were a huge contributor to the diversifying housing in California.

If the Council chooses to select a project as the beneficiary of the HOME funds, staff will begin working with the Developer in preparation of the application and submission of said application by the deadline. If the Council takes this avenue there will be no cost to the City to prepare the application.

Deferred Impact Fee Loan Request
The developer has requested for an impact fee deferral to be loaned to their partnership with terms consisting of a residual receipts repayment from available cash flow with a term of 55 years, and a below market interest rate of 1-3%, secured by a Deed of Trust subordinate to senior regulatory agreements and financing, be repaid on a residual receipts basis commencing after repayment of deferred developer fee from available cash flow 30 50% to repay City Loans. This agreement would ensure repayment of fees beginning no later than year 16.

By approving a deferred impact fee loan agreement, the City would not be responsible for paying back the impact fees as they are expected to be repaid but just deferred for a period of time negotiated. The proposed loan terms have been attached for the Council’s review.

If the Council chooses to proceed with approving Resolution No. 26-12 for the HOME beneficiary and further authorize the City Manager to enter into an Owner Participation Agreement for the HOME loan and deferred impact fees, staff will proceed immediately. With this financing mechanism, award of HOME funds would secure the financing needed to develop this project since the developer will be utilizing 4% tax credits which are non-competitive.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact to the City as the project beneficiary will bear all costs associated with submitting the Application to HOME and the deferred impact fee loan agreement will be on the City’s books as a deferred receivable with no impact to the general fund or its reserve. The City, if awarded HOME funds, would be entitled to $300,000 for administration of the grant. This would be accomplished by contracting with a non-profit affordable housing advocacy group to assist in all the reporting and administrative functions of HOME funds.

PUBLIC OUTREACH

C. Authorizing Legislation and Regulation Authority
This NOFA should be read in conjunction with but not limited to the following regulations, statutes, and plans, as amended, which establish state and federal HOME requirements:
• Federal HOME Investment Partnerships Act Statutes at Title II of the CranstonGonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 12701 et seq. • Federal HOME Regulations (24 C.F.R. Part 92)
• Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (2 C.F.R. Part 200)
• State of California 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan
• State HOME Regulations (25 C.C.R. § 8200 et seq.)
• State Uniform Multifamily Regulations (“UMRs”) (25 C.C.R. § 8300 et seq.) All regulatory references are to the state and federal HOME regulations unless otherwise noted.

Several of the terms used in the HOME Projects NOFA have specific meanings defined by state and/or federal HOME regulations. When reviewing this NOFA and the application forms, carefully review the regulations for further defined terms. State HOME definitions are found in 25 C.C.R. § 8201 and 8217 and federal HOME definitions are found in 24 C.F.R. § 92.2.

If state or federal statutes or regulations, or other laws, policies, or procedures governing HOME or its funding are modified—whether by Congress, HUD, the state California Department of Housing and Community Development 5 HOME 2025 Projects NOFA
Legislature, or the Department—prior to completion of work to be done pursuant to awards made in connection with this NOFA, the changes may become effective immediately and apply to funded activities.

Any inconsistencies between this NOFA and state or federal HOME regulations will be resolved in favor of federal regulations, unless a waiver or modification was approved by the Director in accordance with AB 1010 (Chapter 660, Statutes of 2019). In those instances, the waiver or modification will prevail when not in conflict with the federal HOME regulations.

The Department reserves the right at its sole discretion to suspend, amend, and/or supplement the provisions of this NOFA from time to time. If such action occurs, the Department may notify interested parties through the Department’s HOME Listserv (Email Signup | California Department of Housing and Community Development).

Native American Entities
The state requirements set forth in the HOME Project Activities NOFA are subject to Assembly Bill 1010 (Chapter 660, Statutes of 2019) (“AB 1010”) which is set forth in Health and Safety Code (HSC) § 50406(p), (a) where the provisions of tribal law, tribal governance, tribal charter, or difference in tribal entity or legal structure would cause a violation or not satisfy the requirements of the HOME Projects NOFA, said requirements may be modified as necessary to ensure Project compatibility; and (b) where the provisions of tribal law, tribal governance, tribal charter, or difference in tribal entity or legal structure or agency create minor inconsistencies (as determined by the Director of the Department or a duly authorized designee thereof) with the requirements set forth in the HOME Projects NOFA, the Department may waive said requirements, as deemed necessary, to avoid an unnecessary administrative burden. Matters set forth or otherwise provided for in the HOME Projects NOFA that may be modified or waived include, without limitation, threshold scoring requirements and any other matter set forth in HSC § 50406(p)(2).

Native American Entity Applicants, whether federally recognized or non-federally recognized, are accordingly encouraged to discuss any such potential modifications or waivers and their options in that regard at or during an optional pre-application technical assistance meeting with CIAP and HOME Program staff.

There may be other federal laws or federal doctrines that could provide a basis for a possible modification of some federal requirements for Native American Entity Applicants. An example is where a Native American Entity has its own Tribally Determined Wage, in which case Davis Bacon wage requirements are not applicable.

Native American Entity Applicants are encouraged to begin the AB 1010 waiver process before their application is submitted in order to allow time for the Department to review and make a legal decision on the request.

All applications will be reviewed for completeness and compliance with state and federal requirements. Only complete and compliant applications will be eligible for application review, approval, and potential funding. All awards made and standard agreements entered into under this NOFA will be subject to the provisions in the Department’s grant agreement(s) with HUD and all applicable federal law. The Department’s FY25 HOME California Department of Housing and Community Development 6 HOME 2025 Projects NOFA
allocation from HUD may be subject to additional Federal Conditions, which are listed and discussed in Appendix A: Federal and State Overlays.

D. Application Submission Process
Electronic Application Submission Process
All Applicants must create a EUNA Grants Profile prior to completing an application.

Once the profile is created, the Applicant must complete an application via the EUNA Grants. Application forms are available on the EUNA Grants Portal. Appendix F:

Organizational Documents Checklist and Appendix G: Project Documents Checklist provide a complete list of required uploads for the application.

The Department will not accept applications through personal, postal, shipment deliveries, facsimiles, email, walk-ins, or any other forms of delivery other than the EUNA Grants Portal.

Applicants that do not meet the filing deadline requirements will not be eligible for funding. Applications must be on the Department’s current forms and cannot be altered or modified by the Applicant. Excel forms must be in Excel format, not converted to a PDF document.

The Department may request additional clarifying information from third-party sources, such as local government entities or the Applicant, but this is entirely at the Department’s discretion to determine if the Department has authority to make an award.

Upon the Department’s request, the Applicant shall be given five (5) business days, from the date of staff notification, to submit said documents to clarify the application.

Disclosure of Application
Information provided in the application will become a public record available for review by the public, pursuant to the California Public Records Act (Chapter 1473, Statutes of 1968) (PRA). As such, any materials provided will be disclosable to any person making a request under this Act. The Department cautions Applicants to use discretion in providing information not specifically requested, including, but not limited to, bank account numbers, personal phone numbers, and home addresses. By providing this information to the Department, the Applicant is waiving any claim of confidentiality and consent to the disclosure of submitted material upon receipt of a PRA request.

Concurrent Applications
Due to the unique challenges of the current funding environment, the Department allows Applicants to pursue funding from more than one Department funding program.

Separate concurrent applications to other HCD funding sources are permitted under this HOME Projects NOFA. Applicants, however, MUST disclose all Department applications under review and/or applications anticipated to be submitted, regardless of who is applying for funding (e.g., city, county, Developer, sponsor, etc.), in their application or via email to [email protected].

HOME has strict federal commitment and expenditure deadlines; therefore, if an Applicant submits any other funding applications to the Department after the HOME California Department of Housing and Community Development 7 HOME 2025 Projects NOFA
Projects NOFA application due date, Applicant must notify HOME staff via the HOME Projects NOFA mailbox [email protected]. If Applicants are competitive for a HOME award, the Department will consult with Applicants to determine the best funding scenario for Project feasibility while balancing cost containment. If the Project receives an award from a different state program after the HOME Projects NOFA application due date, HOME Projects NOFA Applicants may be asked to accept a reduction of any Department-administered state program award by the amount of any HOME Project award.

E. Definitions
“Applicant” is any eligible State Recipient, CHDO, Developer, or Native American Entity which submits an application to the Department to develop or rehabilitate Projects using HOME funds within a specified jurisdictional boundary, in accordance with 25 C.C.R. § 8201 and 8204 and HSC § 50896. A Developer of a Project shall not act as administrative subcontractor for the activity.
“Awardee" means the eligible Applicant (and, if applicable, the Co-Applicant) that has been awarded funds from the Department under HOME, and that will be held responsible for compliance with and performance of all HOME requirements. “Choice-Limiting Actions” means an action that may have an adverse impact on the environment or limit the choice of reasonable alternatives. A Choice-Limiting Action may include, but is not limited to, executing a purchase and sale agreement, signing a lease agreement, real property acquisition, rehabilitation, repair, demolition, disposition, or new construction, as set forth in 24 C.F.R. § 58.22, as well as HUD’s guidance in Community Project Funding: Environmental Guidance and Scenarios. For the purposes of environmental review, the Project is the aggregation of all activities that are required to build the Project and must be included in the scope of the environmental review. So even if HOME funds are only used to pay for a portion of the overall Project, Awardees and Subrecipients should still be aware of the activities involved that are considered Choice-Limiting Actions.

Activities listed at 24 C.F.R. § 58.35(b) that are Categorically Excluded Not Subject To 24 C.F.R. § 58.5 are not Choice-Limiting Actions.
“Developer” means any legal entity, including Native American Entities (Native American Entities-Federally Recognized Tribes and Native American Entities-NonFederally Recognized Tribes), that will provide or arrange for design, financing, and construction services in connection with a housing Project as set forth in 25 C.C.R. § 8201(i). A nonprofit organization, formed as a special purpose entity in compliance with 25 C.C.R. § 8313.2, by a Non-Federally Recognized Tribe (NAE-NFRT) as defined herein, may be considered a Developer if the NAE-NFRT satisfies all other Developer eligibility requirements.
“HOME” means the HOME Investment Partnerships Program. In this NOFA, “HOME” is used to refer to the HOME Investment Partnerships Program as a whole, which includes both Program and Project activities. However, this NOFA only applies to Project activities.

California Department of Housing and Community Development 8 HOME 2025 Projects NOFA
“Homeless” means the same as defined under the federal Continuum of Care Program at 24 C.F.R. § 578.3, as may be amended and renumbered from time to time. “Homeless” includes “chronically homeless” and “homeless with a disability.” “Homeownership” means ownership in fee simple title in a 1- to 4-unit dwelling or in a condominium unit, or equivalent form of ownership approved by HUD. (1) The land may be owned in fee simple, or the homeowner may have a 99-year ground lease.
(i) For housing located in the insular areas, the ground lease must be 40 years or more.
(ii) For housing located on Indian trust or restricted Indian lands or a Community Land Trust, the ground lease must be 50 years.
(iii) For manufactured housing, the ground lease must be for a period at least equal to the applicable period of affordability in 24 C.F.R. § 92.254. “Native American Entity – Federally Recognized Tribe (“NAE-FRT”) means any Tribal Government which is a federally recognized tribe as defined at 25 U.S.C. section 4103(13)(B) and includes a duly constituted governing body of an Indian Reservation or Rancheria as Health and Safety Code section 50077 and 50079; or is a Tribally Designated Housing Entity under 25 U.S.C. section 4103(22).

A NAE-FRT may apply as a State Recipient or Developer for HOME Funds. “Native American Entity – Non-Federally Recognized Tribe” (“NAE-NFRT”) means any Tribal Government which is an Indian Tribe located in California that is not a federally recognized tribe and is either: (1) listed in the Bureau of Indian Affairs Office of Federal Acknowledgment Petitioner List, pursuant to 25 C.F.R.

8. Cities, counties, and local public housing authorities must provide documentation satisfactory to the Department that they comply with the submittal requirements of cost principles and audit requirements at 2 C.F.R. § 200.512. Any outstanding findings contained in the audit report may impact on the ability of the Department to grant an award through this NOFA.

9. The Applicant and any member of its Project team must not be on the list of debarred contractors at https://www.sam.gov/SAM/ pursuant to 25 C.C.R. § 8204(a)(1)(D)(iii) and 8204(a)(2)(C)(ii).

11.There is no pending or threatened litigation that could affect implementation of the proposed Project.

12.The Applicant(s) (not the ultimate borrower) must demonstrate documented site control of the Project at the time of application. Site control is subject to the HOME funding award as required by 25 C.C.R. § 8212(a)(6)(B), 25 C.C.R. § 8303, and 24 C.F.R. Part 92, including but not limited to, demonstrating site control by one of the following:
• Acceptable evidence of site control may include: a conditional purchase agreement or enforceable option for projects involving acquisition, a lease option agreement from DGS and/or HCD as verified by HCD’s Excess Sites Team, a deed or lease, or a title report showing ownership of the property vested in the applicable entity.
• Fee title, which, for tribal trust land, may be evidenced by a title status report (TSR) or an attorney’s opinion regarding chain of title and current title status. • A leasehold interest on the Project property with provisions that enable the lessee to make improvements on and encumber the property, provided that the terms and conditions of any proposed lease shall permit, prior to loan closing, compliance with all HOME requirements, including compliance with 25 C.C.R. § 8316. Land Acquisition and Leaseback shall be done prior to the financing closing.
• An option to purchase is obtained, conditioned on the responsible entity’s determination to proceed with, modify, or cancel the Project based on the results of a subsequent environmental review, and the receipt of an Authority to Use Grants Funds (“AUGF”) from the Department for State Recipient California Department of Housing and Community Development 19 HOME 2025 Projects NOFA
Projects and from HUD for Developer and CHDO Projects. The cost to secure the site control document can be only a nominal portion of the purchase price. • A Purchase Agreement, Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA), Option to Lease, or Exclusive Right to Negotiate is obtained, but this agreement cannot be conditioned on National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)/California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) clearance or any other federal requirement.
• A conditional purchase contract may be used for an existing single-family home (1 to 4 units) or an existing multifamily residential Project in some limited circumstances, even when federal funds have already been contemplated.
• The determination as to what constitutes acceptable evidence of site control shall be made by the Department in its sole and absolute discretion. This includes bypassing site control requirements when the Housing Accountability Unit has found that state law requires approval of the Project.

General HUD rules state that Purchase Agreements are acceptable if federal funds are not contemplated. Applicants are cautioned to make sure that the Purchase Agreement or DDA is open-ended or is of sufficient duration that it does not need to be extended after the HOME application is submitted.

HUD has ruled that if a Purchase Agreement/DDA expires after the HOME application is submitted, and before the AUGF is executed, the execution of an extension would be a Choice-Limiting Action (renewal prior to expiration is acceptable). The application also should ensure the Purchase Agreement/DDA has other contingencies, such as a permanent financing contingency, so that the seller cannot legally compel an individual to purchase the site prior to receiving the AUGF.

NOTE: For more details on required and prohibited provisions of agreements consistent with NEPA, see HUD CPD Notice 98- 01: Layering Guidance for HOME Participating Jurisdictions When Combining HOME Funds with Other Governmental Subsidies; HUD CPD Notice 15-09: Requirements for Committing HOME Funds; and HUD Memo:

Guidance on Operations and Conditional Contracts for Purchase of Real Property for Environmental Reviews Conducted by a Responsible Entity under 24 C.F.R. Part 58.

B. Rating and Ranking
The Department will score, rank, and fund applications based on a review of eligible activities for which funds are requested. Each application must be submitted using Department forms and must contain all information required pursuant to 25 C.C.R. § 8211(c)(d). Scoring for Projects is subject to the appeal process described in Section IV (E) of this NOFA. Each Project activity will be evaluated and ranked separately.

In the case of a tied score, the application demonstrating the highest jurisdictional poverty level will be funded first. If Applicants are applying from the same jurisdictional California Department of Housing and Community Development 20 HOME 2025 Projects NOFA
area, the Project with the highest percentage of enforceable commitments will be funded first.

Applications will be funded in descending order based on points earned. Applications that qualify for CHDO and FTHB Project targets will be funded first, based on their scores as necessary to meet the minimum set-asides and funding targets.

Once the set-asides and targets have been achieved, remaining applications will be funded within their respective allocations pursuant to 25 C.C.R. § 8212.1, based on scores relative to all other applications, with the highest-scoring applications funded first.

NOTE: All scoring factors and evaluation requirements are listed in Appendix D: Scoring Factors.

C. Project Scoring and Notification
Once rental Project application scoring is complete, the Department will email the authorized representative and contact person listed in the application describing the scores and facts upon which those scores were determined.

92.250(b), the Department will perform underwriting analysis to substantiate the Project is financially feasible for at least 20 years, as well as cost allocation and subsidy layering analyses to determine the appropriate amount of the HOME award.

When making its feasibility determinations, the Department will:
• Examine all the sources and uses of funds for the Project (including any operating cost assistance, operating cost assistance reserve, or Project-based rental assistance that will be provided to the Project); and • Assess the current market demand in the area in which the Project will be located, the experience of the Applicant team, the amount and quality of the Applicant team’s employees, the financial capacity of the Applicant team, and firm written financial commitments for the Project.

To determine the Project’s feasibility and sustainability, the Department will review the Project Sources and Uses Form. When completing the application form, Applicants should be sure to include all known and potential Project costs.

If an Applicant proposes to develop Project(s) formerly used for agricultural, industrial, manufacturing, or commercial purposes, or the site is situated on, adjacent to or near rail yards, airports, dumpsites, or other potentially contaminated properties, whether abandoned or operating, the Department may require Phase II environmental site assessment, or other soil assessment or testing. If an Applicant proposes to develop site(s) within a 100-year floodplain, the Department requires a HUD 8-step Floodplain California Department of Housing and Community Development 21 HOME 2025 Projects NOFA
Analysis. If not submitted with the application, these reports will be required after award as part of the NEPA process.

If the Applicant has any indication that these conditions may exist, the Department highly recommends that Applicants complete an assessment, soil sampling, or other appropriate testing methodology, prior to submitting the application. The results should be submitted as part of the application documentation, and any additional costs the Project may incur must be included in the Project budget and Sources and Uses Form.

G. Whistleblower Protection Acts
(Federal Whistleblower Protection Act (5 U.S.C Section 2302(b)(8)) The Federal Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA) protects employees from retaliation for making protected disclosures. The WPA also provides penalties for supervisors who retaliate against Whistleblowers.

1. A disclosure is protected under the WPA if the employee discloses information the employee reasonably believes to be evidence of:
a. a violation of any law, rule, or regulation,
b. gross mismanagement,
c. a gross waste of funds,
d. an abuse of authority, or
e. a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety.

2. In general, an employee or Applicant may make a protected disclosure to anyone, including non-governmental audiences, unless the information is classified or specifically prohibited by law from release. Options for making a protected disclosure include:
a. Informing a supervisor or someone higher up in management, b. Submitting a complaint to the OIG by emailing the OIG at [email protected], California Department of Housing and Community Development 25 HOME 2025 Projects NOFA
c. Filing a complaint with the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) https://www.osc.gov/.
d. The California Whistleblower Protection Act (Title 2, Division 1, Chapter

6.5, Article 3.5, Gov. Code §§ 8548-8548.5)
The California Whistleblower Protection Act authorizes the California State Auditor to receive complaints from state employees and members of the public who wish to report an improper governmental activity. An "improper governmental activity" is any action by a state agency or any action by a state employee directly related to state government that:

1. Violates any state or federal law or regulation,

2. Violates an Executive Order of the Governor, a California Rule of Court, or any policy or procedure required by the State Administrative Manual or State Contracting Manual, or

3. Is economically wasteful or involves gross misconduct, incompetency, or inefficiency. Complaints received by the State Auditor are confidential, and the identity of the complainant may not be revealed without the complainant's permission, aside from an appropriate law enforcement agency conducting a criminal investigation.

There are many ways to file a complaint:

1. By Telephone
Call the Whistleblower Hotline at (800) 952-5665 to file a complaint by talking to one of the State Auditor's employees. The hotline generally is staffed Monday through Friday from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. If when called, the hotline is not being staffed, or staff is occupied with other calls, a voicemail message can be left requesting a return call.

2. By Mail or Facsimile
To file a complaint in writing, submit a letter to the State Auditor addressed as follows:

Investigations California State Auditor
P.O. Box 1019
Sacramento, CA 95812
Or the letter may be faxed to the State Auditor at (916) 322-2603.

As an alternative, a complaint form may be accessed electronically (which is available on the State Auditor website at www.auditor.ca.gov). To submit, print it out, and return it by mail or facsimile as stated above.

3. Online
Although the State Auditor does not accept complaints by email, complaints may be submitted online at https://www.auditor.ca.gov/whistleblower/.

California Department of Housing and Community Development 26 HOME 2025 Projects NOFA
The State Auditor will not undertake an investigation unless there is a basis for believing that a complaint has sufficient merit to warrant spending resources on an investigation.

A complaint should therefore include:

1. A clear and concise statement of what is being alleged to be improper activity and why it is believed to be improper.

2. The name or other information that clearly identifies the person alleged to have acted improperly and the department where that person works.

3. The names and contact information for any witnesses who can confirm the truth of the complaint.

4. Copies of any documents that will support the complaint. (Do not submit original documents, as they cannot be returned.)
H. Cancellation and Defaults
If HCD is required to repay HUD for HOME funds invested in affordable housing because the Project failed to meet the required minimum period of affordability (pursuant to 24 C.F.R. § 92.252(e)), then the Applicant/Developer/Contractor must repay the same amount back to the Department upon demand.

Terminated Projects: If a HOME Project is terminated pursuant to 24 C.F.R. §

92.205 and the Department must repay any HOME funds invested in the Project to the Department's HOME Investment Trust Fund in accordance with 24 C.F.R. § 92.503(b), then Applicant/Sponsor/Developer/Borrower must repay that money back to the Department, so the Department is made whole.

I. Loan Closing Requirements
Sponsor must submit all Department Closing Checklist items well in advance of the anticipated construction loan closing, occupancy, and permanent loan closing dates.

Sponsors and Borrowers should allow at minimum 90 days after they have submitted to the Department the (i) final due diligence documents; and (ii) final signed transaction summary report for a loan to close.

Failure by Sponsors and Borrowers to timely submit (i) the required due diligence documentation; and (ii) the final signed transaction summary will result in an unnecessary delay to the date when the Department loan will be able to close and may result in extra costs to Borrower. Sponsors and Borrowers are responsible to plan accordingly to ensure a timely closing.

Agenda Title: Lease Agreement – Clubhouse Kitchen Facility at 801 N. Elmwood Avenue – Proposed Tenant: Salvador Ceja

ACTION & RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Lease Agreement between the City of Lindsay and Salvador Ceja for use of the kitchen portion of the City-owned Clubhouse located at 801 N. Elmwood Avenue, and authorize the City Manager to execute all related documents.

BACKGROUND | ANALYSIS
The City of Lindsay owns the Clubhouse facility located at 801 N. Elmwood Avenue (APN 201-150-003-000).

The kitchen portion of the Clubhouse has historically been leased to a private operator for food services.

The previous tenant operated a food business at this location but has since closed operations. Following the closure, the City has received inquiries from multiple interested parties expressing interest in leasing the kitchen space for food service operations.

After discussions with several prospective tenants, Salvador Ceja has formally expressed interest in leasing the kitchen facility. Mr. Ceja currently operates food service ventures locally and is seeking to expand his operations within the City of Lindsay by utilizing the Clubhouse kitchen space.

Prior Tenant Closure
The prior tenant ceased operations, leaving the kitchen space vacant. While the closure created a temporary interruption at the Clubhouse, it also generated renewed interest in the location. Multiple individuals and business operators contacted the City to inquire about leasing opportunities, demonstrating continued market interest in the site.

Maintaining an active tenant in the kitchen space is important to:
• Generate lease revenue for the City
• Activate the Clubhouse facility during early morning hours • Support local economic development and small business growth Proposed Tenant – Salvador Ceja
Mr. Salvador Ceja has approached the City with a proposal to expand his existing food service operations by leasing the Clubhouse kitchen. His proposal aligns with the intended use of the facility as outlined in the lease agreement.

Under the proposed agreement:
• Use: Restaurant operations
• Access Hours: Monday through Sunday, 12:00 a.m. – 11:59 p.m. • Term: One (1) year initial term with two (2) one-year renewal options • Insurance and indemnification requirements: As outlined in the Lease Agreement Mr. Ceja would be responsible for utilities, interior operational cleanliness, non-permanent interior modifications, and compliance with all applicable municipal, county, state, and federal regulations.

Item #: 12.14
Consent

MEETING DATE: February 24, 2026
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
FROM: Kuyler Crocker, City Manager
Agenda Title: Consideration of Initiating the Formation of a Property and Business Improvement District (PBID)

ACTION & RECOMMENDATION
Provide direction to staff regarding initiation of the formation process for a Property and Business Improvement District (PBID), including property owner outreach, boundary identification, and preparation of required formation documents pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994.

BACKGROUND | ANALYSIS
Property and Business Improvement Districts are assessment districts formed under the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (California Streets and Highways Code §36600 et seq.). PBIDs are established at the request of property owners and are funded through assessments levied on properties within the district boundaries.

PBIDs are commonly used throughout California to strengthen downtowns and commercial corridors by providing enhanced services such as maintenance, safety programs, beautification, marketing, and business advocacy. There are currently more than 200 PBIDs operating statewide, including in cities such as Sacramento, Burbank, Walnut Creek, San Jose, and Los Angeles.

The primary purpose of a PBID is to improve the economic vitality, cleanliness, safety, and overall attractiveness of a commercial area. PBID-funded services must be supplemental in nature and may not replace or reduce existing City services.

Typical PBID Services
Depending on local needs, PBID services may include:
• Clean and Safe Programs:

Sidewalk and street cleaning, graffiti removal, landscape maintenance, and security or ambassador patrols.
• Beautification and Capital Improvements:

Applicability to the City of Lindsay
A PBID could provide a structured mechanism for downtown and commercial property owners in Lindsay to collaboratively address shared challenges and opportunities. Potential benefits include improved district appearance, increased business activity, enhanced public perception, and a unified voice for property owners.

Item #: 14.1
Action Items
Formation of a PBID is property-owner driven and requires majority support through a formal balloting process.

The City’s role is to facilitate the process, ensure compliance with State law, and administer assessment collection.

PBID FORMATION PROCESS
If City Council elects to proceed, the following steps would be required:

1. Property Owner Outreach and Education
Conduct meetings and distribute informational materials to gauge interest and explain PBID requirements.

2. Preliminary Boundary and Service Identification
Define a proposed district area and identify potential services and improvements.

3. Preparation of a Management District Plan and Engineer’s Report Documents outlining services, budgets, assessment methodology, and governance structure.

4. Petition and Balloting Process
Property owner petitions and ballots conducted in accordance with State law.

5. City Council Public Hearing and Formation Action
Council consideration of PBID formation following completion of the balloting process.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with this report. Any future City costs would be limited to administrative functions related to PBID formation and assessment collection, which are typically reimbursed by the district. The scope and scale of assessments would be determined by participating property owners.

TO: Lindsay City Council
MEETING DATE: February 24, 2026
DEPARTMENT: City Services
FROM: Joseph Avina, City Services Manager/ Inspector
Agenda Title: Consideration of Approval of a Public Art Mural & Adoption of Resolution 26-11 Condition of Approval at 222 N. Elmwood Ave. Lindsay, CA 93247.

ACTION & RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving the proposed mural located at 222 N. Elmwood Ave. Lindsay, CA 93247 subject to the conditions of approval listed in this report & Resolution 26-11.

BACKGROUND | ANALYSIS
Municipal Code Section 18.14.320 allows murals subject to City Council approval. Murals are reviewed for consistency with community standards, public safety, and compatibility with surrounding land uses.

The applicant submitted a complete mural application on December 4, 2025, including color renderings, site photographs, artist statement, and written consent from the property owner.

Consistency with Municipal Code
The proposed mural complies with applicable mural standards, including:
• Does not contain commercial advertising or signage
• Does not include offensive or inappropriate content
• Is compatible with the scale and character of the building and surrounding area Aesthetic and Community Impact
The mural is designed to activate an otherwise blank wall and provide visual interest. The subject matter reflects local history/culture/nature/community values, which aligns with the City’s goals for public art and placemaking.

Public Safety and Maintenance
The mural will not obstruct doors, windows, or visibility for vehicles or pedestrians. The applicant has agreed to maintain the mural in good condition and repair any vandalism or fading.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities), as the mural involves minor alteration of an existing structure with no expansion of use.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact from this item.

Re: Mural Application
Dear Services Department Review Panel,
On behalf of Urbanists Collective and the Dolores Huerta Foundation, I respectfully request that the City of Lindsay Permit Department accept and process our mural application. We sincerely apologize for not submitting the permit earlier; the process was unclear to us, as the permit language appears primarily focused on commercial signage rather than community-based, noncommercial murals.

We believe our proposed design fully aligns with the City of Lindsay’s mural guidelines by incorporating historical relevance, agricultural representation specific to the region (including olives), and Trompe-l'œil elements. Additionally, the mural expresses community values that honor and uplift agricultural workers, in accordance with our First Amendment right to artistic expression.

We appreciate your consideration and look forward to moving this project forward in partnership with the City.

Sincerely,
Erik Gonzalez
Executive Director
Urbanists Collective

Questions

STAFF REPORT
TO: Lindsay City Council
MEETING DATE: February 24, 2026
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
FROM: Kuyler Crocker, City Manager
Agenda Title: Adoption of Legislative Advocacy Plan

ACTION & RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Adopt the proposed Legislative Advocacy Plan; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to implement the Plan and engage in legislative advocacy consistent with its policy direction.

BACKGROUND | ANALYSIS
The City of Lindsay Legislative Advocacy Plan establishes formal policy direction for engagement with the California State Legislature and state Agencies. This plan will be a tool to direct legislative and policy positions for The Gualco Group to use, as legislation is amended in a fast-paced environment. Being responsive is critical to being effective in advocacy effort. The Plan outlines board polices for The Gualco Group to advocate on behalf of the City of Lindsay. Without a legislative plan, the Lindsay City Council would need to take formal action on each piece of legislation, when thousands of bills are authored every year in Sacramento. This supports our continuing efforts to enhance Lindsay’s voice and advocate of our City, along with our involvement with the California League of Cities and other organizations.

The City of Lindsay engages with state agencies and legislators to secure funding, influence policy, and ensure that new laws recognize the unique needs of small, rural Central Valley communities. In recent years, the State has enacted significant legislation affecting parks, transportation, infrastructure, public safety, and municipal finance.

Given increasing state mandates, competitive grant funding, and budget volatility, a formal Legislative Advocacy Plan provides clear direction to staff and consultants regarding the City’s priorities and policy positions.

The proposed Plan is designed to:
• Protect local control and revenue stability.
• Increase access to state and federal funding.
• Reduce administrative burdens on small jurisdictions; and • Ensure new mandates are accompanied by funding and implementation flexibility.

The Legislative Advocacy Plan establishes guiding principles and priority policy areas for state engagement.

1. Parks, Recreation, and Community Facilities
The City will support legislation that increases funding access for disadvantaged and rural communities, reduces matching fund requirements, and streamlines grant processes. The Plan prioritizes rehabilitation of existing facilities and equitable scoring criteria in statewide park bond programs.

Relevant agencies include:
• California Department of Parks and Recreation
• Strategic Growth Council
• California Department of Finance
Item #: 14.3
Action Items

2. Transportation and Mobility
The City will advocate for protection and expansion of funding for local streets and roads, active transportation improvements, and rural transit connectivity. The Plan emphasizes preservation of local control over transportation revenues.

Relevant agencies include:
• California Transportation Agency
• California Department of Transportation
• California Transportation Commission
• California Department of Finance

3. Public Works and Infrastructure
The City supports legislation that increases funding for deferred maintenance, climate resilience, water and stormwater systems, and compliance flexibility for small cities. The Plan seeks to ensure that new infrastructure mandates include funding support.

Relevant agencies include:
• California Department of Water Resources
• State Water Resources Control Board
• Strategic Growth Council
• Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation
• California Department of Finance

4. Law Enforcement and Public Safety
The Plan supports expanded grant funding for recruitment, retention, equipment, and training for small police departments, as well as regional collaboration models.

Relevant agencies include:
• California Department of Justice
• Board of State and Community Corrections
• California Governor's Office of Emergency Services
• California Department of Finance

5. Taxation, Revenue, and Budget Stability
The Plan emphasizes protection of local revenues, opposition to state shifts of local funds without backfill, and improved predictability in state fiscal decisions.

Relevant agencies include:
• California Department of Finance
• California State Controller’s Office
• California Department of Tax and Fee Administration

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Adoption of the Legislative Advocacy Plan is not a project under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, as it does not commit the City to a specific project.

FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of the Legislative Advocacy Plan has no direct fiscal impact. The Plan is intended to position the City to secure additional grant funding, protect local revenues, and reduce unfunded mandate exposure.
