REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
Approved by: Council Meeting of: June 21, 2023

SUBJECT:
Local state of emergency related to the closure of Madera Community Hospital RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution continuing to support Madera County’s Proclamation of a local emergency due to the closure of Madera Community Hospital for 30 days SUMMARY:
On January 18, 2023, the Council adopted a resolution supporting a Madera County Proclamation of the existence of a local emergency due to the closure of Madera Community Hospital (MCH) and formalizing the City’s stance on the local emergency. Furthermore, the approval of the Resolution demonstrates support for any requests for state and federal funding to reopen MCH or for alternative healthcare options for the residents of Madera. Legislative bodies are required by the Office of Emergency Services to approve a Resolution to extend the state of emergency every 30 days until termination. Council last approved a Resolution extending this State of Emergency on May 17, 2023.
BACKGROUND:
During a Public Comment portion of the August 3, 2022, Council meeting, Madera Community Hospital (MCH) informed the Council of the financial hardship it faced as a result of operating during the COVID-19 pandemic and requested $1 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to allow continued operations while its affiliation with St. Agnes Medical Center/Trinity Health was under consideration with the State Attorney General. MCH accrued millions of dollars in debt due to labor cost inflation, costly treatment, and shouldering the cost of intensive care services for COVID-19 cases. The Hospital attributes the years of accumulated liability to its high census of Medi-Cal patients and low reimbursement rates.
Subsequently, at Council’s direction, relief funding was revisited for further consideration on September 21, 2022, where MCH provided additional details that justified the request for $1 B-4
million in ARPA funds. Considering that 100 percent of ARPA funds received by the City were previously allocated to the City’s Sewer and Water Enterprise Funds for public infrastructure projects to lower utility rates, and that any reallocation of monies would not sustain a long-term solution for MCH, the Council elected to sponsor the MCH/Trinity Health affiliation with a Letter of Support in lieu of reallocating ARPA funding.
In the interim, City Staff facilitated meetings with MCH and local, regional, and state officials to identify alternative funding options MCH may either apply for or be entitled to, which included:
MCH was owed $23 million from the State to which Senator Caballero’s office is intervening to expedite these funds.
If additional funding was not received, MCH had funding to operate until mi November. The requested allocation of $1 million from the City would have allowed the hospital to operate for an additional 1-2 weeks.
Potential Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding for COVID relief had not been previously sought by MCH when these funds were made available for application. Congressman Jim Costa’s office recommended that MCH urgently apply, as the Hospital had not tapped into this funding source.
$5 million in state funding secured by Assemblyman Bigelow and Senator Caballero for immediate debt relief.
MCH received a loan of $15 million from Trinity Health to ensure continued operations while the merger was under consideration.
MCH entered into discussions of an affiliation agreement with Trinity Health/St. Agnes Medical Center to alleviate its financial burden and to provide continuity of care for its patients. Under State law, the affiliation agreement was subject to the California Attorney General’s approval.
Attorney General Rob Bonta conditionally approved the agreement; however, based on the conditions set forth, Trinity Health Corporation elected to abandon the affiliation, causing MCH to cease operations and close its facilities indefinitely.
Upon this decision, MCH advised their agency partners that they would file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Hospital’s closure leaves approximately 160,000 Madera County residents and surrounding communities without full-service healthcare facilities, including a 24-hour emergency room, surgical facilities, radiology services, and inpatient critical care. Specifically, the closure of MCH poses numerous challenges to the delivery of public health services to the community. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Mandated services to the medically indigent;
2. Medical facility for 72-hour crisis holds for adults and children;
3. Delays in response times for Emergency Medical Services Personnel;
4. Strain to surrounding healthcare facilities and increased patient volume;
5. Rerouting of local law enforcement from other matters of public safety to health-care related emergencies;
6. Overall negative impact on health outcomes for all residents.
In response to the immediate risk to public health and safety, Council adopted a resolution supporting the County’s declaration of a Local State of Emergency and authorized City resources and staff time for a partnership with Madera County to evaluate potential healthcare options. As required by the California Office of Emergency Services (OES), declarations of local emergencies must be approved by Resolution every 30 days until terminated. Due to the absence of a fullservice hospital and life-saving services outlined above, Staff finds reason to continue the local emergency and support the need for state and federal funding. Staff recommends Council adopt a resolution supporting the local public health emergency declared upon the closure of Madera Community Hospital, extending the period for an additional 30 days.
DISCUSSION:
Upon the closure of MCH, Sherriff Pogue proclaimed a local state of emergency in his role as Director of Emergency Services for Madera County. The Madera County Board of Supervisors (BOS) ratified the Sherriff's action on January 3, 2023. At the BOS meeting on January 10, 2023, County staff received direction to study potential options and alternatives for providing emergency and hospital medical services for the citizens of Madera. Council also adopted a Resolution supporting the County’s Proclamation, recognizing the existence of a local Emergency in Madera on January 18, 2023. In addition, Council authorized the City Manager to allocate staff time and up to $60,000 in resources to partner with the County in evaluating potential options for healthcare and emergency medical care services for Madera residents.
It should be noted that the closure of MCH had an immediate regional effect on neighboring hospitals and health care facilitiesthat struggled to treat the overflow of patients. To that extent, on January 3, 2023, the Fresno County Board of Supervisors (FCBOS) proclaimed the existence of a local emergency, partly due to the closure of MCH, which compounded an already overextended public health crisis caused by ongoing COVID-19, flu, and respiratory illness outbreaks. Shortly thereafter, Congressman Costa and Congressman-elect Duarte co-authored a letter to the US Department of Health and Human Services and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to highlight the dire situation and request that the agencies give the current medical crisis in Madera their full attention and evaluate options to provide emergency relief.
The County of Fresno elected to terminate the local state of emergency regarding its hospitals on February 7, 2023, however, Madera residents continue to lack essential medical services and resources to travel to the nearest hospital.
Since its closure, MCH has attempted to secure new affiliation partners and alternative funding options; however, these efforts have yet to come to fruition. As a result, MCH filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in early March and continues to undergo bankruptcy proceedings to date. Upon the closure and bankruptcy filing, state representatives, public agencies and private citizens drew widespread attention to the lack of medical resources in Madera, and as a result, on May 15, 2023, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 112. AB 112 established the new, $150 million Distressed Hospital Loan Program to provide zero-interest cash flow loans to nonprofit or public hospitals experiencing extreme financial distress. Following this, MCH has released a statement, stating that in order to apply for AB 112 funds, it must first submit a corrective plan, but lacks resources to hire a consulting firm for this endeavor. Assuming MCH will apply for the Distressed Hospital Loan Program, there remains no anticipated date of reopening or apparent avenues to resume regular hospital operations in the near future. Patients with acute or emergency medical conditions are left with limited to no options within the city in which they reside. Staff feels this presents a dire situation necessitating the need to continue declaring a health emergency at a local level.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Council authorized the City Manager to allocate staff time and up to $60,000 for collaboration with County leaders and staff to evaluate and identify a path forward concerning the Hospital and alternative medical care.
ALTERNATIVES:
Alternatively, Council may elect to terminate the existing Resolution supporting the County’s local emergency proclamation.

SUBJECT:
Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program Grant Application
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the submittal of a grant application to BSCC for the Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program designed to assist law enforcement agencies in reducing retail, motor vehicle, and cargo theft
SUMMARY:
The State Budget Act of 2022 (Senate Bill 154, Chapter 43, Statutes of 2022) established the Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program. Funding is available to municipal law enforcement departments, including police, sheriff, and probation departments, to support local law enforcement agencies in preventing and responding to organized retail theft, motor vehicle or motor vehicle accessory theft, or cargo theft. The proposed resolution permits the City to apply for the grant.
DISCUSSION:
The grant program provides over $242 million to law enforcement agencies. Permissible uses of grant funds include but are not limited to the purchase of technology or other equipment to help deter strategies for preventing or responding to crime. These funds shall supplement and not supplant existing funds for these activities.
Applicants must propose activities, strategies, or programs that address a minimum of one of the following Program Purpose Areas (PPAs):
▪ PPA 1: Organized Retail Theft
B-5
▪ PPA 2: Motor Vehicle or Motor Vehicle Accessory Theft ▪ PPA 3: Cargo Theft
Applicants may implement new activities, strategies, or programs or expand existing activities, strategies, or programs without supplanting funds. The grant outlines two funding categories, medium and large. The maximum funding request for a medium-scope proposal is $6,125,000, and $15,650,000 for a large-scope proposal. As the application deadline is July 7, 2023, staff has yet to determine the scale of the City’s proposed project; however, the City’s proposal will likely be considered a medium-scope project.
Proposals selected for funding will be under agreement from October 1, 2023, to June 1, 2027.
The grant agreement service period covers October 1, 2023, ending on December 31, 2026.
However, an additional six months, between January 1, 2027, to June 30, 2027, will be included in the term of the grant agreement for the sole purposes of finalizing and submitting a required Local Evaluation Report and finalizing and submitting a required financial audit.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The submittal of grant applications would not impact the General Fund. The grant application, if awarded, would provide funds for future fiscal years, thus having no impact on the current city operating budget.
ALTERNATIVES:
Council may decline the grant application or may request additional information.

Scoring Panel
To ensure successful program design and implementation, the BSCC uses Executive Steering Committees (ESC) and Scoring Panels to inform decision making related to the Board’s programs. The BSCC’s ESCs and Scoring Panels are composed of subject matter experts, community partners, and interested parties representing both the public and private sectors. The BSCC makes every attempt to include diverse representation on its ESCs and Scoring Panels, in breadth of experience, geography and demographics.
The Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program will convene a Scoring Panel. The Scoring Panel will read and rate submissions and develop funding recommendations for the Board. The Board may approve, reject, or revise those recommendations. Members of the Scoring Panel are not paid for their time but are reimbursed for travel expenses incurred to attend meetings. If the BSCC is unable to convene a full Scoring Panel, BSCC staff may rate proposals. Please check the BSCC website for updated information on the Scoring Panel.
Conflicts of Interest
Existing law prohibits any grantee, subgrantee, partner, or like party participating on the Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program Scoring Panel from receiving funds from the grants awarded under this RFP. Applicants who are awarded grants under this RFP are responsible for reviewing the Scoring Panel membership roster and ensuring that no grant dollars are passed through to any entity represented by any member of the Scoring Panel.
Description of the Grant
The Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program was established in Senate Bill 154 (SB 154) (Appendix A). Per SB 154:
Grant funds shall be used to support local law enforcement agencies in preventing and responding to organized retail theft, motor vehicle or motor vehicle accessory theft, or cargo theft.

These funds shall be used to supplement and not supplant existing funds for these activities.
All entities receiving grant funding shall be required to comply with all applicable privacy laws and regulations.
Grants shall be made on a competitive basis to localities that can demonstrate, using data, that organized retail theft, motor vehicle or motor Proposal Instruction Packet | Page 4
vehicle accessory theft, or cargo theft pose a significant problem in their jurisdictions.
An applicant shall submit a proposal, in a form prescribed by the Board of State and Community Corrections, which shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
a) Data demonstrating the nature and scale of the specific crime problem, which the applicant proposes to address using grant funds. b) Clearly defined and measurable objectives for this grant. c) A description of how the applicant proposes to use the grant funds to achieve the stated objectives, including any plans to coordinate or collaborate with other entities such as public agencies, community organizations, or retailers.

All applicants must complete, sign, and submit the BSCC Grantee Assurance for NonGovernmental Organizations (Appendix D). Once under contract, grantees must submit an updated Grantee Assurance for Non-Governmental Organizations throughout the life of the grant agreement for any additional NGOs that receive funds through subcontracts after awards are made. The BSCC will not reimburse for costs incurred by NGOs that do not meet the BSCC’s requirements.
1 For the purposes of this RFP, NGOs include nonprofit and for-profit community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, evaluators (except government institutions such as universities), grant management companies, and any other non-governmental agency or individual.
Eligibility Criteria for Non-Governmental Organizations Providing Services with BSCC Grant Funds
Any non-governmental organization that receives Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program funds (as either a subgrantee or subcontractor) must:
• Have been duly organized, in existence, and in good standing for at least six (6) months prior to the effective date of its fiscal agreement with the BSCC or with the Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program grantee; o Non-governmental entities that have recently reorganized or have merged with other qualified non-governmental entities that were in existence prior to the six (6) month date are also eligible, provided all necessary agreements have been executed and filed with the California Secretary of State prior to the start date of the grant agreement with the BSCC or the start date of the grantee subcontractor fiscal agreement; • Be registered with the California Secretary of State’s Office, if applicable; • Have a valid Employer Identification Number (EIN) or Taxpayer ID (if sole proprietorship);

Proposal Instruction Packet | Page 9
Local Impacts
The Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program encourages collaboration, communication, and innovation to combat organized retail theft. In supporting this approach, proposed projects may have impacts on retailers and local government agencies that prevent projects from operating as intended (e.g., increased law enforcement presence in retail spaces, increased referrals to the District Attorney’s Office, overlapping or duplicative public awareness campaigns, etc.) As a part of the application, each Lead Agency will be required to acknowledge any anticipated impacts from the implementation of the proposed project (Attachment E).
Written Agreement from Key Partners
If the success of the applicant’s proposed activity, strategy, or program relies on the participation of an outside agency or organization (i.e., an entity other than the applicant or LPA), the applicant must include a Letter of Commitment. Letter(s) of Commitment should reflect that the outside agency or organization is aware of the proposed project, is committed to ensuring the success of the project, their role, and agrees to participate.
Examples of key roles played by outside entities could include the following:
• Data Collection Partnerships
• Referral Sources
• Service Delivery Location
A Letter of Commitment must include the name of the outside entity, be signed by the executive officer, department head, or other authorized representative, and be dated within three (3) months of the proposal submission to the BSCC. Outdated letters or letters that speak to a partnership or grant activities outside of the activities listed in this proposal, will not be accepted. See Appendix F for a sample Letter of Commitment.
A Letter of Commitment is not required if the applicant has determined that an outside agency or organization is not critical to the launch or ongoing implementation of the proposed program.
Policies Limiting Racial Bias
Applicants must provide a description of existing or proposed policies to limit racial bias when utilizing these funds. Applicants will be required to upload existing or proposed policies in a Microsoft Word Document or PDF via the BSCC-Submittable Application portal. (Appendix A, Provision 5(f).)
Policies on Surveillance Technology
Applicants proposing an investment in surveillance technologies must provide a description of existing or proposed policies to govern the use of those technologies, including how the applicant will comply with applicable privacy laws and secure any data collected or stored. Applicants will be required to upload existing or proposed policies in a Microsoft Word Document or PDF via the BSCC-Submittable Application portal. (Appendix A, Provision 5(g).)
Proposal Instruction Packet | Page 10
Organizational Capacity and Coordination
Applicants will be rated, in part, on how well they demonstrate they have the experience, a staffing plan, and any partnerships necessary to implement the proposed strategy. If an applicant is unable to identify staff and/or subcontractors until after the grant is awarded, the applicant should explain, at a minimum, the process and criteria by which they will select staff and/or subcontractors after the award. Distinct from administrative staff and partners, applicants must also demonstrate how they plan to ensure that the staff who deliver the services have backgrounds and experience that are relevant to the proposed strategy and/or target population.
Funding Information
This RFP makes $242,250,0002 available competitively to city police, county sheriffs’ departments, and probation departments to support local law enforcement agencies in preventing and responding to organized retail theft, motor vehicle or motor vehicle accessory theft, or cargo theft.
Funding Categories
Recognizing that applicants have different capacities, resources, and needs, there are two categories within which applicants will compete. An applicant may apply in either the Medium or Large Scope Category. This means Medium Scope Projects will compete against other Medium Scope Projects and Large Scope Projects will compete against other Large Scope Projects for funding.
The maximum an applicant may apply for is up to $6,125,000 in the Medium Scope category OR up to $15,650,000 in the Large Scope category. Applicants may apply for any dollar amount up to and including the maximum grant amount identified in each category. An illustration of the funding categories, maximum grant award, and total available funding by category is provided below:
Funding Categories Maximum Grant Award Total Available Funding Medium Scope Up to $6,125,000 $85,750,000
Large Scope Up to $15,650,000 $156,500,000
Total Funding Available for Competitive Grants: $242,250,000 *NOTE: Funding must last for the entirety of the grant (October 1, 2023 to June 1, 2027).* Multi-Agency Partnerships
Applicants may apply for funding as part of a multi-agency partnership (two or more agencies). The agencies and jurisdictions comprising the collaborative application are not required to be contiguous. One (1) Lead Public Agency must be identified on behalf of the partnership.
2 Provided funding is appropriated in the FY 2023-2024 and 2024-25 State Budget Acts.
Proposal Instruction Packet | Page 11
Multi-agency partnerships (Medium Scope or Large Scope) may apply for up to the maximum grant award in that category multiplied by the number of partnering applicants.
For Example:
• Four (4) eligible applicants in the Medium Scope category may submit one application for up to $24,500,000
o $6,125,000 (Medium Scope Max) x 4 (# of Agencies) = $24,500,000 • Two (2) eligible applicants in the Large Scope category may submit one application for up to $31,300,000
o $15,650,000 (Large Scope Max x 2 (# of Agencies) = $31,300,000 Funding Decisions
Applicants will compete for funds within the Medium or Large Scope Category. Proposals will be evaluated, scored, and a ranked list of all scored proposals will be generated. The BSCC will move down the ranked lists to fund all qualified applicants in each of the two funding categories until all funds in that category are exhausted. Applicants that fall at the cut-off point may be offered a partial award if there are not sufficient remaining funds to make a full award.
If funding remains in one or more categories, the following will occur:
• Funds remaining in the Medium Scope Category after all qualified applicants in that category have been fully funded, will be used to fund any additional qualified applicants in the Large Scope Category.
• Funds remaining in the Large Scope Category after all qualified applicants in that category have been fully funded, will be used to fund any additional qualified applicants in the Medium Scope Category.
If an applicant or grantee relinquishes an award, BSCC has authority to offer that award to the next qualifying applicant(s) on the ranked list.
Eligible Funding Activities
Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program funds must address at least one (1) Program Purpose Areas (PPAs) as identified in the Eligible Activities section. To support local law enforcement agencies in preventing and responding to organized retail theft, motor vehicle or motor vehicle accessory theft, or cargo theft, eligible expenses for this RFP include, but are not limited to, the following:

Please note, the above list is not intended to be exhaustive. All proposed expenses must have a link to the Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program as described in the authorizing legislation and this RFP.
Match Requirement
No match is required for the Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program.
Data Collection, Reporting, and Evaluation Requirements Projects selected for funding will be required to submit a Local Evaluation Plan and Local Evaluation Report. Applicants are encouraged, but not required, to use outside evaluators to ensure objective and impartial evaluations. This may include, but is not limited to, community colleges, universities, and research organizations.
Required Set-Aside for Evaluation Efforts
Grantees are required to set aside at least $75,000 but not more than 5% percent of the total grant award for data collection and evaluation efforts, including data collection for the Quarterly Progress Reports and statewide evaluation (see below) and the development of the Local Evaluation Plan and Local Evaluation Report.
Local Evaluation Plan
The purpose of the Local Evaluation Plan is to ensure that projects funded by the BSCC can be evaluated. Grantees will be expected to include a detailed description of how the applicant will assess the effectiveness of the proposed program in relationship to each of its goals and objectives identified in the proposal. A relationship between the goals and objectives identified in the proposal should be apparent in the Local Evaluation Plan.
The Local Evaluation Plan should describe the evaluation design or model that will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the project component(s), with the project goals and the project objectives clearly stated. Applicants should also address process and outcome evaluations. Once submitted, any modifications to the Local Evaluation Plan must be approved in advance by the BSCC. More detailed instructions on the Local Evaluation Plan will be made available to successful applicants. The Local Evaluation Plan is due no later than April 1, 2024.
Local Evaluation Report
Following project completion, grantees are required to complete a Local Evaluation Report. The Local Evaluation Report must be in a format prescribed by the BSCC. The purpose of the Local Evaluation Report is to determine whether the overall project (including each individual component) was effective in meeting the goals laid out in the Local Evaluation Plan.
Proposal Instruction Packet | Page 13
To do this, the grantee must assess and document the effectiveness of the activities that were implemented within each individual project component. These activities should have been identified in the previously submitted Local Evaluation Plan. More detailed instructions on the Local Evaluation Report will be made available to successful applicants. The Local Evaluation Report is due no later than June 1, 2027.
Statewide Evaluation
BSCC Research will conduct a statewide evaluation of the impact of the initiatives supported by the grant funding including the outcomes and objectives that were achieved.
The evaluator will: develop the research methodology for the statewide evaluation; design and develop instruments for collecting and evaluating data from grantees; provide ongoing technical assistance to grantees for data collection and evaluation activities; compile, screen and analyze data obtained from grantees; and develop a final report on the impact of the program. As a condition of award, grantees agree to collect data requested for the evaluation (this may include standardized Quarterly Progress Report format with specified baseline, output, and/or outcome measures) and fully cooperate and share information within timelines set for the evaluation.
General Grant Requirements
Audit Requirements
Grantees are required to provide the BSCC with a financial audit that covers the service delivery period of the grant (October 1, 2023 - December 31, 2026). The audit report will be due no later than June 1, 2027. The financial audit shall be performed by a Certified Public Accountant or a participating county or city auditor that is organizationally independent from the participating county or city’s project financial management functions. Expenses for the final audit may be reimbursed for actual costs up to $25,000.
In addition, the BSCC reserves the right to call for a program or financial audit at any time between the execution of the grant agreement and three (3) years following the end of the grant period. The Department of General Services, the California State Auditor, the Department of Finance, or their designated representative shall have the right to review and to copy any records and supporting documentation pertaining to the performance of this grant.
BSSC Grant Agreement
Applicants approved for funding by the BSCC Board are required to enter into a Grant Agreement with the BSCC. Grantees must agree to comply with all terms and conditions of the Grant Agreement. A sample Grant Agreement for the Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program is available on the BSCC website.
The Grant Agreement start date is expected to be October 1, 2023. Grant Agreements are considered fully executed only after they are signed by both the grantee and the BSCC and the BSCC is in receipt of all required attachments including documentation of signing authority. Work, services, and encumbrances cannot begin prior to the Grant Agreement start date. Any work, services and encumbrances that occur after the start Proposal Instruction Packet | Page 14
date but prior to Grant Agreement execution may not be reimbursed. Grantees and all subgrantees are responsible for maintaining their Grant Agreement, all invoices, records, and relevant documentation for the life of the grant cycle plus three (3) years after the final payment under the contract.
Debarment, Fraud, Theft or Embezzlement
It is the policy of the BSCC to protect grant funds from unreasonable risks of fraudulent, criminal, or other improper use. As such, the Board will not enter into contracts or provide reimbursement to applicants that have been:
1. Debarred by any federal, state, or local government entities during the period of debarment; or
2. Convicted of fraud, theft, or embezzlement of federal, state, or local government grant funds for a period of three years following conviction.
Furthermore, the BSCC requires grant recipients to provide an assurance that there has been no applicable debarment, disqualification, suspension, or removal from a federal, state, or local grant program on the part of the grantee at the time of application and that the grantee will immediately notify the BSCC should such debarment or conviction occur during the term of the Grant contract.
BSCC also requires that all grant recipients include, as a condition of award to a subgrantee or subcontractor, a requirement that the subgrantee or subcontractor will provide the same assurances to the grant recipient. If a grant recipient wishes to consider a subgrantee or subcontractor that has been debarred or convicted, the grant recipient must submit a written request for exception to the BSCC along with supporting documentation. All applicants must complete an assurance certifying they are compliant with the BSCC’s policies on debarment, fraud, theft, and embezzlement (Appendix G).
Governing Board Resolution
Successful applicants will be required to submit a Resolution from their Governing Board before the grant award can be finalized and funds awarded. A signed resolution is not required at the time of proposal submission, but applicants are advised that no financial invoices will be processed for reimbursement until the Governing Board Resolution has been received by the BSCC. A sample Governing Board Resolution can be found in (Appendix H).
Grantee Orientation
Following the start of the grant period, BSCC staff will conduct a Virtual Grantee Orientation (October 2023, date to be determined). The purpose of this mandatory session is to review the program requirements, invoicing, and budget modification processes, data collection and reporting requirements, as well as other grant management and monitoring activities. Typically, the Project Director, Financial Officer, and Day-to-Day Contact must attend. Grantees are also strongly encouraged to include the individual tasked with Data Collection and Evaluation. Award recipients will be provided additional details regarding the Grantee Orientation in October 2023.
Proposal Instruction Packet | Page 15
Invoices
Disbursement of grant funds occurs on a reimbursement basis for costs incurred during a reporting period. The State Controller’s Office (SCO) will issue the warrant (check) to the individual designated on the Applicant Information Form as the Financial Officer for the grant. Grantees must submit invoices to the BSCC on either a monthly or quarterly basis through an online process no later than 45 days following the end of the invoicing period. Grantees will make their choice between monthly or quarterly invoicing prior to grant agreement execution.
Grantees must maintain adequate supporting documentation for all costs claimed on invoices. BSCC staff will conduct a desk review, which requires grantees to submit electronic documentation to support all grant funds claimed during the invoicing period.
In addition, BSCC staff may conduct on-site monitoring visits that include a review of documentation maintained as substantiation for project expenditures with grant funds.
Additional information about invoicing can be found in the BSCC Grant Administration Guide.
Monitoring
The BSCC staff will monitor each project to assess whether the project is in compliance with grant requirements and making progress toward grant objectives. As needed, monitoring visits may also occur to provide technical assistance on fiscal, programmatic, evaluative, and administrative requirements. For your reference, a Comprehensive Monitoring Visit checklist can be found on the Corrections Planning and Grants Program website.
Quarterly Progress Reports
Grant award recipients are required to submit quarterly progress reports to the BSCC.
Progress reports are a critical element in BSCC’s monitoring and oversight process.
Grantees who are unable to demonstrate that they are making sufficient progress toward project goals and objectives and that funds are being spent in accordance with the Grant Agreement could be subject to the withholding of funds. Once grants are awarded, BSCC will work with grantees to create custom progress reports.
Supplanting
Supplanting is the deliberate reduction in the amount of federal, state, or local funds being appropriated to an existing program or activity because grant funds have been awarded for the same purposes. Supplanting is strictly prohibited for all BSCC grants. Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program funds shall be used to support new program activities or to augment or expand existing program activities but shall not be used to replace existing funds. It is the responsibility of the grantee to ensure that supplanting does not occur. The grantee must keep clear and detailed financial records to show that grant funds are used only for allowable costs and activities.
Travel
Proposal Instruction Packet | Page 16
Travel is usually warranted when personal contact by project staff is the most appropriate method of conducting project-related business. Travel to and from training conferences may also be allowed. The most economical method of transportation, in terms of direct expenses to the project and the employee's time away from the project, must be used.
Projects are required to include sufficient per diem and travel allocations for project related personnel, as outlined in the Grant Award, to attend any mandated BSCC training conferences or workshops outlined in the terms of the program. • Units of Government
Units of government may follow either their own written travel and per diem policy or the State’s policy. Units of government that plan to use cars from a state, county, city, district carpool, or garage may budget either the mileage rate established by the carpool or garage, or the state mileage rate, not to exceed the loaning agency rate.
• Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)
An NGO receiving BSCC funds must use the California State travel and per diem policy, unless the Grantee’s written travel policy is more restrictive than the State's, in which case it must be used. Reimbursement is allowed for the cost of commercial carrier fares, parking, bridge, and road tolls, as well as necessary taxi, bus, and streetcar fares.
• Out-of-State Travel
Out-of-state travel is restricted and only allowed in exceptional situations. Grantees must receive written BSCC approval prior to incurring expenses for out-of-state travel. Even if previously authorized in the Grant Award, Grantees must submit to the BSCC a separate formal request (on Grantee letterhead) for approval. Out-ofstate travel requests must include a detailed justification and budget information.
In addition, California prohibits travel, except under specified circumstances, to states that have been found by the California Attorney General to have discriminatory laws. The BSCC will not reimburse for travel to these states unless the travel meets a specific exception under Government Code section 11139.8, subdivision (c). For additional information, please see: https://oag.ca.gov/ab1887.

Upon submission of a proposal, applicants will receive a confirmation email from the BSCC stating that the proposal has been received.
Disqualification
Disqualification - PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY
The following will result in an automatic disqualification:
• Submission is not received by 5:00 P.M. (PST) on Friday, July 7, 2023 • Applicant does not meet the Eligibility Criteria
• Application, and all required attachments, are not submitted via the BSCCSubmittable Application portal • Budget Attachment is incomplete (e.g., impacted fields are not completed) • Funding request exceeds allowable amount in the Medium or Large Scope category
• Attachment(s) are illegible
• Attachment(s) will not open, or the file(s) are corrupted NOTE: Disqualification means that the proposal will not move forward to the Scoring Panel for the Proposal Rating Process, and, therefore, will NOT be considered for funding.
Proposal Rating Process
Unless disqualified, proposals will advance to the Scoring Panel for funding consideration.
Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the BSCC’s Grant Proposal Evaluation Process (link) and as described below. The Scoring Panel will read and assign ratings to each proposal in accordance with the prescribed rating factors listed in the table below.
Scoring Panel members will base their ratings on how well an applicant addresses the criteria listed under each rating factor within the Proposal Narrative and Budget Sections.
Scoring Panel ratings, once submitted to the BSCC, will be final.
At the conclusion of this process, applicants will be notified of the Board’s funding recommendations. It is anticipated that the Board will act on the recommendations at its meeting on September 14, 2023. Applicants and their partners are not to contact members of the Scoring Panel or the BSCC Board to discuss proposals.
Rating Factors
The Rating Factors that will be used and the maximum points allocated to each rating factor are shown in the table below. Applicants are asked to address each of these rating factors as a part of their proposal. A percent of total value is assigned to each Rating Factor, correlating to its importance within the overall project (see Percent of Total Value column).
Proposal Instruction Packet | Page 18

5 Project Budget 0-5 20% 40
Maximum Proposal Score: 100% 200
Raters will rate an applicant’s response to each Rating Factor on a scale from 0 to 5, according to the Six-Point Rating Scale shown below. For each Rating Factor, the rating point received is then weighted according to the “Percent of Total Value” column associated with the Rating Factor to arrive at the final Weighted Rating Factor Score. The Weighted Rating Factor Scores are then added together for a final overall proposal score.
The maximum possible proposal score is 200.
Senate Bill 154 requires the BSCC to give preference to applicants whose grant proposals demonstrate the greatest need for additional resources and likelihood of success in reducing organized retail theft, motor vehicle or motor vehicle accessory theft, and cargo theft. In fulfillment of this request, 110 out of a total of 200 points is allocated between the Project Need and Project Description categories.

• Number of neighborhood meetings conducted.
Outcome Evaluation5
The purpose of the outcome evaluation is to identify whether the program “worked” in terms of achieving its goals and objectives. Outcome measures are designed to answer the question: “What results did the program produce?”
Examples of outcome measures include:
• Results of pre/post surveys (e.g., changes in the reported confidence/trust in law enforcement among community members).
• Implementation of regular, ongoing community forums where community dialogue takes place.
• Changes in policies at the Lead Agency level to reflect procedural justice principles.
In an evidence-based practice approach, outcome evaluations must include not only the measures but also analysis of the extent to which the measured results can be attributed to the program rather than to coincidence or alternative explanations. 3 Source: National Institute of Health 4 Justice Research and Statistics Association, Juvenile Justice Evaluation Center.

Evidence-based / Promising Practices
Evidence-based practices are programs and strategies that have been found effective at improving outcomes, using rigorous scientific research methods. Programs and strategies may be evidence-based across all populations, or only for particular cultures and identities.
Promising practices are programs and strategies that have shown some positive results and potential for improving outcomes. They may have evidence from use in real-world settings, a strong theoretical framework, and/or expert opinion, but have not been fully replicated in scientific studies. Depending on the level of scientific evidence, these are sometimes referred to as “evidence-informed,” "research-supported," or “emerging” practices.
Financial Audit
A financial audit provides assurances that an organization’s financial statements are free of material misstatement based upon the application of generally accepted accounting principles.
Goals and Objectives
Goals and objectives are terms in common use, sometimes used interchangeably because both refer to the intended results of program activities. Goals are longer-term than objectives, more broadly stated and govern the specific objectives to which program activities are directed.
In proposals, goals are defined by broad statements of what the program intends to accomplish, representing the long-term intended outcome of the program.6 Examples of goal statements:7
• To reduce the number of serious and chronic juvenile offenders. • To divert nonviolent juvenile offenders from state juvenile correctional institutions. • To restore the losses suffered by the victims of crimes.
Objectives are defined by statements of specific, measurable aims of program activities.8 Objectives detail the tasks that must be completed to achieve goals.9 Descriptions of objectives in the proposals should include three elements:10
1. Direction – the expected change or accomplishment (e.g., improve, maintain);
2. Timeframe – when the objective will be achieved; and 6 Justice Research and Statistics Association, Juvenile Justice Evaluation Center. (2003, June).

SUBJECT:
Acceptance of the Proposition 64 Public Health & Safety Grant Cohort 3 from the Board of State and Community Corrections
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution accepting the grant award in the amount of $605,887 and approving a Standard Agreement with State of California Department of General Services SUMMARY:
The Proposition 64 Public Health & Safety Grant Program is designed to provide counties and cities that have not banned both indoor and outdoor commercial cannabis cultivation or retail sale of marijuana or marijuana products with funding to provide education to the youth and community regarding the dangers and risks of cannabis use. Due to the recently adopted cannabis ordinance, the City is eligible to receive funding from this grant. The City applied for the grant and was awarded $605,887.
DISCUSSION:
The California voters passed Proposition 64 in November of 2016, legalizing the nonmedical use of cannabis by adults 21 and older. Since the legalization of cannabis for recreational purposes there has been an increase in cannabis use among youth. The Board of State and Community Corrections recently allocated $150 million available to municipalities for projects that address local impacts due to the legalization of cannabis. According to Madera County’s Substance Order Plan, 17 percent of 7th graders, 30 percent of 9th graders, and 42 percent of 11th graders have used marijuana. It was reported that Madera youth consume cannabis at a higher rate in comparison to the State average. For this reason, staff applied for this grant to help educate and build meaningful relationships with our youth to help combat and reduce the use of cannabis.
B-6
Staff proposes to utilize the funds awarded to hire a Police Officer to run an outreach program to inform both youth and adults of the risks and dangers of cannabis use. The officer will present in the middle and high schools within the Madera Unified School District and work with the Parks Department on sports camps throughout the year. The presentations and camps will focus on providing our youth with tools to overcome peer pressure, provide mental and physical addiction resources, education on the dangers of driving under the influence of cannabis, and education on the overall risks of cannabis use.
Funding is for five years and requires strict reporting per the Board of State and Community Corrections.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City was awarded a total of $605,887 for five years. The City anticipates spending these funds outside the current Fiscal Year. For this reason, staff is requesting Council accept the grant funds on behalf of the City.
Table 1: Budget Detail
Salaries and Benefits $595,887
Services and Supplies $5,000
Equipment/Fixed Assets $2,500
Other (travel & training costs) $2,500
Total $605,887
The Grant will fund one full-time sworn officer's salary and fringe benefits for five years. Table 2 provides a summary of each year.

ALTERNATIVES:
If Council elects not to adopt the Resolution, the grant with the Proposition 64 Public Health & Safety Grant Program will not be executed, and the City will not be eligible to receive $605,887.

Proposal Narrative Project Need:
The State of California was the first state to legalize the use of cannabis for medical purposes in 1996. Twenty years later the state legalized cannabis for recreational purposes. As a result of this, there has been an increase in the use of cannabis products along with cannabis related disciplinary issues, which has also increased opportunities for cannabis amongst youth. According to a study done by University of California San Diego, once a state legalizes recreational cannabis, those too young to legally consume, do so anyway. Youth as young as 12 years old begin to use cannabis. In UCSD’s study, of the 6,925 youth and 14,938 adults tracked, nearly 18% of those using were ages 12 to 20.
According to Madera County’s Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Prevention Plan, 17% of 7th graders, 30% of 9th graders, and 42.3% of 11th graders reported having used marijuana in their lifetime. In addition, 8.5% of 7th graders, 15.6% of 9th graders, and 23.4% of 11th graders reported having smoked marijuana in the past month. It was also reported that youth in Madera County are consuming cannabis/marijuana at rates higher than the State rate.
Studies have also shown there is an increase in juvenile crimes during the warmer months and periods where youth are out of school. Given the extended daylight hours through the summer, this offers juveniles more opportunities of delinquencies and transgressions. Common examples of such wrongdoing include the use of cannabis, which can result in theft, driving under the influence, and alcohol consumption, just to name a few.
Since 2016 the Madera Police Department has seen an increase of cannabis users being arrested for DUI, as well as an increase in youth being in possession of cannabis. Most adults and youth are not familiar with DUI laws as they relate to Proposition 64 and the use of cannabis. A great number of individuals believe they are not impaired by the use of cannabis, therefore, educating our public, both youth and adult, is imperative.
Project Description:
Target Groups
The Madera Police Department will focus cannabis presentations and educational materials on the following groups.
1. Youth between the ages of 5 and 18 years
• Madera Unified School District – 19,941 Students
2. City of Madera Residents
• Outreach to 53,991 adults through social media posts, community events, etc.
PPA 1- Youth Development/Youth Prevention and Intervention Many youths believe that cannabis is not as harmful as alcohol or tobacco and a lesser crime comparatively since the enactment of Proposition 64. This misinformation is influencing our youth and contributing to the normalization of cannabis use and has become a growing trend.
The Madera Police Department will focus on youth outreach and intervention by way of a sports camp summer program combined with various other sports camps throughout the year during breaks students have from school, such as winter and spring break. In addition, Madera PD will also focus on regular visits and presentations at various school campuses through Madera Unified School District. Currently cannabis education within the local schools and community is very limited. The police department will be expanding current cannabis related work to improve our prevention efforts throughout the school district and the community.
The Madera Police Department will conduct crime prevention and cannabis outreach to local youth through sports and other extracurricular activities that have been observed to reduce delinquent behaviors in youth. The grant officer will facilitate activities and sports that are not currently offered through the Madera Parks Department and focus on periods where local youth are out of school.
The grant officer will conduct in classroom educational cannabis presentations to students in middle and high schools. The presentations and number of students present will be documented on BSCC Grant Stats form. Presentation information covers the following topics:
• Proposition 64 and related laws
• Dangers of cannabis use by youth
• Driving under the influence of cannabis
• Peer pressure and effective ways to say no
• Information on mental & addiction resources
Presentations will be given three times per year at 10 of the high schools and middle schools within Madera Unified School District for a total of 30 times. The presentations offered will be approximately fifteen minutes long and will include informational materials to be passed out to the students. Said materials which will include flyers, pamphlets, brochures, and/or web links will ensure that students have access to information when they need it after the presentations have been concluded. Madera Police Department anticipates serving up to 10,000 students per year through these presentations.
The grant officer will reach 150 to 200 local youth through sports programs and cannabis information/awareness activities per year, for a total of 750 to 1,000 youth. All activities and participants will be documented through the Parks Department application form and survey. The Grant officer will keep detailed stats on the participants and documented on the BSCC grant stats form. The Parks
Department form collects the following information:
• Name, Address, and Age
• Parents names and phone numbers
• School and grade
• Parent and Student Survey
PPA 2- Public Health
The myth that cannabis is not harmful has been pushed, and more and more youth and adults believe this myth. More frequently, vaping nicotine as increased to cannabis in record numbers. As mentioned above, more youth and those under the legal age limit of 21 are vaping. The fact that vaping is easy to conceal and hide from parents and teachers makes this problem very prevalent.
Cannabis products are the most used illegal substance in the U.S. and the numbers are on the rise, with youth, adults and even pregnant women. Given this increase, the truth about the harms and risks of cannabis use is on the decline, as a large number of the population consider cannabis use as normal given the legal status of the product in many states. The current use of cannabis is stronger than ever.
The following are the points which Madera Police Department will educate the public about:
• Brain health: cannabis can cause permanent IQ loss of as much as 8 points when people start using it at a young age. These IQ points do not come back, even after quitting cannabis.
• Mental health: Studies link cannabis use to depression, anxiety, suicide planning, and psychotic episodes. It is not known, however, if cannabis use is the cause of these conditions.
• Athletic Performance: Research shows that cannabis affects timing, movement, and coordination, which can harm athletic performance. • Driving: People who drive under the influence of cannabis can experience dangerous effects: slower reactions, lane weaving, decreased coordination, and difficulty reacting to signals and sounds on the road.
• Baby’s health and development: cannabis use during pregnancy may cause fetal growth restriction, premature birth, stillbirth, and problems with brain development, resulting in hyperactivity and poor cognitive function. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other chemicals from cannabis can also be passed from a mother to her baby through breast
milk, further impacting a child’s healthy development.
• Daily life: Using Cannabis can affect performance and how well people do in life. Research shows that people who use marijuana are more likely to have relationship problems, worse educational outcomes, lower career achievement, and reduced life satisfaction.
The Madera Police Department Grant Officer will set up booths to distribute information at local community and school events. The Grant Office will also conduct educational presentations at schools.
The Madera Department anticipates 20 presentations to occur annually: 6 presentations at community events, 10 presentations school events, and 4 other community events as needed. The information provided at these presentations will be the above bulletpoint information, which will be provided in print and digital formats to ensure that residents and students can have quick and easy access at any time. The grant officer will document the number of informational booths and educational presentations on the BSCC Grants Stats form. The grant officer will also attempt to collect signatures of all residents in each location who approach the booth and receive materials. The data collected will be used to estimate the total impact of this outreach. However, the Madera Police Department understands a large number of residents might not likely want to provide their signature but will take the provided information. During the school events, a component of the pre-survey will ask students if they’ve received this information elsewhere and will determine whether or not a student received it at school or at one of the community events. If the participant replies “yes” and note they received the information at school, that number will not be included twice in the overall headcount. However, educational materials will be given to student’s multiple times to reenforce the chances that student will make the decision to discontinue using, or not use, cannabis. Repeated information will help solidify concepts in a young person’s mind, according to studies on the effects of memorable strategies to enhance the learning of young people. The more youth interact with the Madera Police Department and create a trust and bond, while also receiving information, the better the chances are this information will stay with them.
Evaluation of PPA Goals and Objectives:
The Madera Police Department will measure PPA through a correlational research design using student pre- and postassessment survey data, sign-in sheets (used at community events where participation is not mandatory) police department stats, and cannabis education records and participant sign in sheets. This formative assessment will guide programmatic changes throughout the project period. Data will be added into the BSCC Grant Stats form for final, summative evaluation at the end of the grant period. The mixed methods of quantitative and qualitative data will be used to assess change in cannabis perceptions among local youth. The objective of PPA 1 is to increase knowledge of cannabis dangers among local youth, reduce crime, and lower the cannabis use rate among local youth by at least ten percent. The evaluation of PPA 1 relies on quantitative data that will ultimately show if we have met our goals and objectives. Qualitative data will be sourced from pre- and post-survey data collected from
students and will focus on student’s perceived effectiveness of the program. For example, one assessment question will be “do you think that school presentations like this help youth make more informed decisions on cannabis use?” The survey will also include open-ended questions intended to collect qualitative data on how best the Madera Police Department could conduct outreach to youth, what activities youth would like to see implemented, and how often they would like to be contacted. The Evaluation Committee will review both qualitative and quantitative data as part of its formative approach to program improvement.
The Madera Police Department will measure the objective of PPA 2 through participant sign-in sheets and number of informational booths, presentations, and improved outreach regarding the safety of cannabis and its legal uses as captured by sign-in data over the duration of the project. The Grant Officer will also monitor comments and interaction on the Social Media posts. These tools will allow the Grant Officer and Department to make a reasonable assumption that the general public has been offered education tools and information that will allow them to make a well-informed decision on whether or not they still choose to use cannabis projects. In addition, the Department will utilize DUI statistics and records that will provide quantifiable data on whether or not these outreach efforts have actually had an impact in reducing these DUI stats, which of course is the ultimate goal of this program. This PPA will utilize qualitative data; no pre-and post-assessments will be utilized for this PPA; therefore, not qualitative data is anticipated.
All qualitative and quantitative data will be assessed by the Grant Officer and an Evaluation Committee on a regular basis. At quarterly meetings, the committee will review up-to-date quantitative data as they relate to the project’s objectives and discuss progress on objective completion. The Grant Officer and committee will also review qualitative data as results from pre- and post-assessments and open-ended questions. This data will be used to guide programmatic changes that will improve the project’s ability to meet its objectives.
Participant success is defined through two measures: pre- and postassessments (qualitative and quantitative data) of youth and resulting qualitative data sourced from Madera Police Department statistics of anticipated crime reduction. Using baseline data from 2021-2022, when no interventions or treatments were in place to combat illegal cannabis usage and educate on legal cannabis usage, any improvements in data over the baseline for the 5-year duration of this BSCC grant.

SUBJECT:
Project List for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/24 Funded by Senate Bill (SB 1) Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) – Local Streets and Roads Funding Program RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council (Council) adopt a resolution approving the City project list for FY 2023/24 funded by the SB 1 RMRA account of the Local Streets and Roads funding program
SUMMARY:
On April 28, 2017 the Governor of the State of California signed SB 1, known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on both the State Highway and local streets and road system.
The State Controller (Controller) deposits portions of funding from increases to certain fuel excise and sales taxes and vehicle registration fees into the RMRA Account of which a percentage is apportioned by the Controller to eligible cities and counties.
Streets and Highways Code Section 2034(a)(1) requires that prior to receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds, an eligible municipality shall submit to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) a list of eligible projects proposed to be funded with RMRA funds pursuant to an adopted resolution by the applicable Council or County Board of Supervisors at a regular meeting. The list of projects must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement. for
B-7
DISCUSSION:
FY 2023/24 marks the 7th year that the City is receiving SB 1 funding. This funding enables the City to continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, safety improvements and the repair of aging bridges. The City anticipates receiving approximately $1,595,479.00 in the upcoming FY; an increase of 9 percent over the amount projected in the previous year.
The City uses Pavement Management System (PMS) software to validate that expenditures on road maintenance are made in the most cost-effective manner. The PMS was utilized to develop the project list exclusively for arterial and collector streets. This is because local/residential streets have yet to be added in the PMS. Local and residential streets will be added into the PMS once the City’s consultant surveys the streets later in the year. The portion of the list that reflects local/residential streets was generated by the staff was based on the same philosophy to select the most cost-effective projects. Upon generation of the list, projects are inspected by staff to confirm that the optimum technologies are selected to extend the life of streets and to reduce future maintenance costs.
The FY 2023/24 RMRA funds will be split between arterial/ collector streets and local/residential streets and the most appropriate treatment will be selected to extend the life of the pavement to its maximum potential. Exhibit A, attached to the resolution, identifies the streets and roads that will be submitted to the CTC for consideration. A map of said improvements is provided in Exhibit B. The list of streetsegments anticipated to be addressed as part of the FY 2023/24 RMRA cycle is also shown below on Table 1.

N Gateway Drive (From W 3rd Street to Central Ave)
Santa Cruz Street (From Maple Street to Olive Ave)
Rotan Ave (From Howard Road to W 5th Street)
Maple Street (From Stadium Road to Santa Cruz St)
The RMRA guidelines allow for modifications to the list (for example, if there are not enough funds to complete this list) as long as the final expenditure report reflects the actual completed streets. The City, upon expending program funds, is required to submit documentation to the CTC that details the expenditure of RMRA funds. This documentation includes a description and location, the amount of funds expended on the project, the completion date, and the estimated useful life of the improvement. The submittal of the project list and reporting process is done through the CalSmart website provided by CTC.
Staff is hereby recommending that Council approve the project list as presented .
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund as part of this action. The project, when awarded through a separate action, will be funded by revenues generated by the SB1 RMRA and other local transportation funds if needed with no General Fund impact.
ALTERNATIVES:
Should the Council elect to not approve the resolution adopting the City of Madera project list for FY 2023/24 funded by the SB 1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation account, then the following alternatives can be considered:
1. Provide guidance to staff to modify the project list. The City has 90 days following the July 1 deadline to submit a list.
2. Elect not to approve the project list and become ineligible for SB 1 RMRA funds.

SUBJECT:
Amendment No. 1 to Reimbursement Agreement with Origo Cold Madera Phase I LLC for Public Improvements
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution Approving Amendment No. 1 to the Reimbursement Agreement with Origo Cold Madera Phase I LLC and the City
SUMMARY:
On March 8, 2022, the Planning Commission approved Site Plan Review (SPR 2021-41) and Environmental Assessment 2021-61 (ENV 2021-61) for Origo Cold Madera (Project) for a 250,000 square foot cold storage building just north of Fire Station 58. The project was subsequently affirmed and approved by the City Council on appeal on May 8, 2022. On December 7, 2022, the City Council (Council) approved the Reimbursement Agreement (Agreement) between the City and the property owner regarding the Amond World Cold Storage Warehouse Project.
DISCUSSION:
During the construction of the offsite improvements, wet soil was observed along Condor Road.
Upon further investigation, it became apparent that the existing 12-inch water line was leaking.
Attempts to repair the water line exposed additional compromised areas of the structure. This water line, constructed in 1984 using an asbestos cement pipe, was found to have multiple joint failures resulting in extensive leakage.
As part of the project’s approval conditions, the developer is conditioned to confirm the existence of the 12-inch water line along Condor Road from Aviation Drive to Yeager Drive. In the event the “water line does not exist”, the developer was required to construct it between Aviation Drive and Yeager Drive.
for
B-8
Here, the damaged water line belongs to the City. However, because the existing water line is within the eventual paved area, City staff requested that the developer replace it within the paved area to preserve the new roadway construction and to prevent future cuts into the newly installed pavement. This additional work was not initially considered within this project’s scope; however, as conditions in the field developed during construction, staff determined that replacing the affected portion of the water line was prudent. The remaining sections of this pipeline are within unpaved areas of Condor Road and will be replaced with a future Capital Project.
Typically, off-site improvements for commercial projects are the direct result of conditions of approval placed upon a project through the entitlement process in which the Site Plan Review is approved. The Conditions include improvements eligible for reimbursement and are referenced directly in the Agreement. The Agreement, when approved by Council, allows for reimbursement of those improvements. Given that the water line was previously constructed with no known concerns regarding its integrity, replacement was not previously appropriate. After the discovery of the compromised water line, the pipe was determined to require replacement, as utilizing the existing infrastructure was no longer feasible given its unreliable nature. As a result of the Agreement not expressly providing a condition for the construction of a new water main, an amendment is necessary to allow for reimbursement.
This replacement is not eligible for reimbursement through the use of Development Impact Fees, and as a result, the Water Fund must be utilized to provide reimbursement. This is appropriate given that the City would utilize Water Funds if the replacement were part of a Capital Improvement Program project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The reimbursement will be based on the actual cost of construction; the estimated cost of construction is $164,514.00. This action will not impact the City’s General Fund as Water Funds will be utilized.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The construction of a 12-inch water line along Condor Road from Aviation Drive to Yeager Drive was assessed by ENV 2021-61 (mitigated negative declaration) and approved by the Council on May 8, 2022. As a result, the construction and replacement of a portion of the same at the site and having the same capacity was likewise already environmentally assessed as part of the mitigated negative declaration. Further, none of the conditions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 have occurred. As a result, the replacement of the 12-inch water line has already been environmentally assessed, and no further review under CEQA is required.
ALTERNATIVES:
Council may not approve Amendment No. 1 to the reimbursement agreement or may provide alternate direction to staff. If Council does not approve the amendment, the Owner would not be able to be reimbursed and could seek legal action against the City.

SUBJECT:
Amendment No. 1 to the Contract with The Pun Group for Auditing Services RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving Amendment No. 1 to the Auditing Services Contract with The Pun Group in the Amount of $8,240
SUMMARY:
In February 2023, the City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Audit Services. This RFP process resulted in the City entering into a three-year agreement with The Pun Group, which was ratified by a vote of the Council on May 17, 2023. Subsequent to the issuance of the RFP, the City was notified that it would also need to facilitate the audits of the Measure T and Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds. Staff determined that going out to RFP for audit services on these funds would not be cost-effective. Thus, staff approached The Pun Group about modifying their contract to add the auditing of these funds. The Pun Group returned with a proposal costing $8,240. This cost will be fully reimbursed by the Madera County Transportation Commission (MCTC).
DISCUSSION:
The City’s contract for Audit Services reached the end of its term with the completion of the Fiscal Year 2021/22 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). Shortly after the contract reached its termination date, the City issued an RFP for Audit Services. As a result of the RFP process, the City entered into a three-year agreement with The Pun Group for audit services. The first-year cost of this agreement was $54,600.
Subsequent to the issuance of the RFP, the City was approached by the MCTC to take over the auditing function for the City’s portion of Measure T and TDA funds. The MCTC is the agency that B-9
oversees the distribution of Measure T and TDA funds throughout Madera County, including to the City. Historically, the MCTC was responsible for auditing all Measure T and TDA funds. In discussions with City staff, the MCTC indicated it believed it should be the City’s responsibility to administer the auditing of both Measure T and TDA funds the City received. MCTC indicated it would pay the cost of the audits up to $4,500 per fund should the City take on the administration of these audits.
After evaluating MCTC’s request, staff concluded that issuing an RFP for auditing services associated with these fundings sources would not be an effective use of resources. Staff then reached out to The Pun Group to gauge if they would be amenable to taking on the additional work. The Pun Group indicated they would be willing to audit these funds at a cost of $4,120 per fund or $8,420 in total. These audits will be completed at the same time as the City’s ACFR audit is completed, which is estimated to be December 2023.
As these audits are an addition to both the scope and the price of the recently approved auditing services contract, City procurement policy requires this change order be approved by Council.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost for auditing the City’s Measure T and TDA allocations is $8,240. This cost will be fully covered by the MCTC, resulting in no net cost to the City. Appropriations for these audits will be included in the Fiscal Year 2023/24 budget.
ALTERNATIVES:
As an alternative, Council may:
1. Not approve the change order, which will result in these funding streams not having an identified provider for their audit.
2. Direct staff to issue an RFP for these audits, which will not result in the selection of a firm until after the City’s ACFR audit is complete.
