Section: CONSENT AGENDA
Meeting Date: March 11, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Diego Viramontes, City Manager
Megan Snyder, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Approval of Resolution No. 2026-18 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL

OF THE CITY OF MCFARLAND APPROVING AN APPLICATION FOR

FUNDING AND THE EXECUTION OF A GRANT AGREEMENT AND ANY
AMENDMENTS THERETO FROM THE 2025 FUNDING YEAR OF THE

STATE CDBG PROGRAM
SUMMARY:

The City is exploring the opportunity to apply for funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, which provides financial assistance to support projects benefiting low- and moderate-income residents. This funding can be used for various community development projects, including infrastructure improvements, affordable housing, and economic development initiatives that meet federal guidelines.

The proposed application will focus on addressing critical community needs identified in our city’s strategic goals. Potential projects that were considered included water well maintenance, east kern improvements, industrial park improvements, flood infrastructure and improvements, commercial improvements and public facilities.

The most critical of the proposed projects for CDBG is to seek funding of a project that will be flood infrastructure centric. This focus project will provide several benefits to the community, including but not limited to:
• Reduction of localized flooding during storm events
• Protection of residential properties and public infrastructure With a large portion of McFarland being within the FEMA floodplain, and a history of a large portion of McFarland being subjected to continuous flooding. The proposed project would create a drainage basin that would collect water before it ran into the residential areas located on the east side of McFarland. McFarland City Council and City staff have worked diligently for several years to find a lasting solution to mitigate the negative impact flooding has in the city, namely the east side of the city; this project, if funded, would absolutely be a worthwhile, lasting mitigation.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with the submission of this application. If awarded, CDBG funds would offset costs related to eligible project activities, minimizing the financial burden on the City’s general fund.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the approval of Resolution No. 2026-18.

This NOFA should be read in conjunction with the following statutes, regulations, and guidelines that establish state and federal CDBG requirements. Relevant legal authorities include, but are not limited to, the following, as the same may be amended from time to time:
• 24 C.F.R. §570.480, et. seq., Federal CDBG Regulations • 24 C.F.R. Part 58, Environmental Review Procedures
• 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Uniform Grant Administration Requirements • Health & Safety Code (H.S.C.) §§50825-50834, State of California CDBG program

If there are changes to federal or state statutes, regulations, guidelines, or other laws governing the CDBG program, or if funding is modified or eliminated by Congress, HUD, the federal government, the Department, or the state Legislature, these changes may become effective immediately and apply to activities and funding under this NOFA.

Note: The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (HCDA) is codified as Title 42 U.S.C. §5301, et. seq. thus, those citations are interchangeable and cite the same statute language. For example, the citation of HCDA 105(a)(22) and 42 U.S.C. §5305(a)(22) are references to the same statute language. For the purposes of this NOFA, we will use the 42 U.S.C. §5301 citations for references to the federal statutes.

In administering this NOFA, if there is a conflict between the federal statutes or regulations and state statutes or guidelines, the federal statutes and regulations shall prevail. All activities in this NOFA are subject to availability of funds and continuing federal, HUD and California legislative and fiscal authority.

A. Definitions
Except as otherwise defined herein, all defined terms have the meaning set forth in 42 U.S.C. §5302(a), 24 C.F.R. Part 570, and the State CDBG Guidelines.

B. Limits for Administration and Planning

1. Program Administration
The Department can use 3 percent of the total funding +$100,000 for administration costs.

2. General Administration (GA)
i) Applicants may request up to 7 percent of the total CDBG grant funding requested by that Applicant for General Administration (GA). For detailed information regarding General Administration costs, see Chapter 6: Financial Management of the current posted version of the CDBG GMM, as may be amended, which is found on the CDBG page of the Department’s website. ii) The calculation to determine the maximum allowable General Administration amount is the amount of Activity expenses plus Activity Delivery expenses, multiplied by 7 percent per application. Appendix G has been provided for ease of calculation.
iii) In general, there should be minimal GA costs. Staff time and/or work completed/costs incurred directly on a specific Activity should be reported as Activity Delivery Cost (ADC) whereas the overall management of the CDBG Program, such as NOFA webinars and Office Hours, should be reported as GA.
iv) For detailed information regarding ADC, see Chapter 6: Financial Management of the current posted version of the CDBG GMM, as may be amended, which is found on the CDBG page of the Department’s website.

California Department of Housing and Community Development 2025 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA 10

4. Applicants may elect to assign more funds to Activity costs and take less than the 7 percent (17 percent for Program Income) as their GA allocation.

5. For project budgets with both grant award and PI as funding sources, applications must identify how much GA will be from each source to ensure that GA stays within the appropriate program caps.

C. Conditions
Applicants and awardees acknowledge that the funding opportunities referenced in this NOFA, and all obligations of the Department herein, are expressly subject to and conditioned upon the ongoing availability of funds, as well as the continued federal and state authority of the Department to operate the CDBG program. In the event that funds are not available or the amount thereof is reduced or restricted, or the Department’s authority under the CDBG Program or Act, or such funding or authority to operate is in any way restricted, the Department shall have the option, at its sole and absolute discretion, to amend, rescind, suspend, or terminate this NOFA and any associated funding pursuant to the provision set forth immediately above.

This NOFA is not a commitment of funds to any Activity or Applicant and the submission of an application does not guarantee an award to an Applicant.

California Department of Housing and Community Development 2025 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA 11
Income. At a minimum, a subrecipient agreement must contain content required by the federal CDBG regulations at 24 C.F.R. §570.503.

B. Non-Entitlement Status
CDBG program funds are provided as grants to Non-Entitlement Units of General Local Government (UGLGs). These UGLGs are encouraged to partner with federally- and non-federally recognized Tribes, districts, agencies, nonprofit service providers, and other community organizations, whenever appropriate, to prepare and submit applications for CDBG funding, and to administer and complete CDBGfunded programs and projects.

Incorporated cities located in an urban county as defined by 42 U.S.C. §5302 (a)(6) must formally elect to be excluded from participation in the urban county entitlement status. HUD and the Department must be notified that the city has elected to be excluded from the urban county participation as per 24 C.F.R. 570.307(g) for it to be eligible for the state CDBG program. Only eligible activities from eligible Applicants will be considered for an award.

Applications for eligible activities outside the Applicant's Jurisdiction must include a legally binding agreement, acceptable to the Department, with the city or county in which the eligible Activity is located. Applicants may not apply to both the State CDBG program and to a CDBG program administered by an Urban County or other entitlement entity during the same program year.

C. Housing Element Compliance
As per H.S.C. §50829, the Applicant must, at a minimum, submit a draft or adopted

California Department of Housing and Community Development 2025 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA 12
housing element to the Department in accordance with the requirements listed in Government Code (G.C.) §65580, et seq., and G.C. §65585 (see Appendix B) prior to an application submission. Jurisdictions that fail to complete the Housing Element process in a timely manner will be ineligible for funding until the Housing Element meets requirements pursuant to H.S.C. 50829 – 50830. Per CDBG Guidelines, Section 202(a)(4), by the time of award funding, the Applicant must have complied with all the Housing Element requirements listed in H.S.C. 50829 – 50830. The jurisdiction’s Housing Element must be in compliance with CDBG requirements by the deadline listed on the jurisdiction's Application Correction Letter to be considered for award. If a jurisdiction’s Housing Element is determined by the Department to not be in compliance with CDBG requirements by the deadline listed on the Application Correction Letter, the Department has full discretion to determine whether the application will continue to be processed for a potential award.

California Department of Housing and Community Development 2025 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA 16
• First Milestone: Activity Initiation. Must be completed no later than 60 days from the Effective Date of the Standard Agreement. The Effective Date of the Standard Agreement is the date which the Department counter signs the Standard Agreement
• Milestone Two: [populated by Applicant] – examples below • Milestone Three: [populated by Applicant] – examples below • Milestone Four: [populated by Applicant] – examples below • Final Milestone: Activity closeout (must be completed no later than 90 days after the Expenditure Deadline, as such term is defined in the Standard Agreement).

TIP: The Department recognizes that Applicants’ proposed milestone dates are estimates.

Instead of using an actual date for all optional milestones, please utilize time frames.

For example:

Milestone One (required): Activity Initiation. Must be completed no later than 60 days from the Effective Date of the Standard Agreement. The Effective Date of the Standard Agreement is the date which the Department counter signs the Standard Agreement.

Milestone Two: Release Invitation for Bid (IFB) within 90 days of Standard Agreement execution by the Department.

This NOFA is not a commitment of funds to any Activity or Applicant and the submission of an application does not guarantee an award to an Applicant.

V. Application Threshold and Initial Requirements
All applications are required to meet and pass threshold requirements at the time of application submission, as determined by the Department. Applications that do not meet threshold will not move on to ranking and scoring and may be immediately disqualified.

The Department strongly recommends a careful review of the application and application instructions PRIOR to beginning the application.

A. Single Audit
Applicant must provide the Department with its most recent single audit (as submitted to the State Controller’s Office), if applicable. If the Applicant had or has single audit findings identified in the audit, the Applicant must include the remediation plan/agreement; the Applicant will be deemed ineligible for funding through the CDBG program until the findings are resolved or a remediation plan or agreement is established. All findings, remediation plans, and agreements will be reviewed by the Department for risk. A risk determination will be made at the sole and absolute discretion of the Department and applications may be deemed ineligible for funding based on the determination. Any and all single audit findings are included in this evaluation.

This requirement is not limited to federal funds administered by the Department. If an Applicant is currently not subject to single audit requirements, the Applicant may be required to submit their last filed single audit for review.

If an Applicant is not required to submit an annual single audit, they must provide documentation directly from the State Controller’s Office (SCO) to such effect.

B. Site Control

California Department of Housing and Community Development 2025 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA 18
Applicant must submit evidence of site control.

1. If securing federal funding is contemplated for any stage of a project at the time a project site is acquired, grantee must complete a NEPA environmental review record prior to completing the acquisition. Failure to do this will result in a choice-limiting action, which prohibits the project from receiving any federal funds in the future. If a site is to be acquired for a CDBG-funded project, regardless of whether CDBG funds are used for acquisition or development and construction, evidence of site control must be provided.

Acceptable evidence of site control may be conveyance documentation with substantiation that the transfer is contingent on completion of a NEPA environmental review record and securing federal funds.

2. Construction-related activities must have documented site control for the year in which the application is submitted and for the duration of the Standard Agreement. Public facilities are subject to a five-year no change in use restriction. The restriction recorded against the property, must run with the land and remain in effect regardless of the ownership of the property.

3. If project/activity is in a public right of way or easement, the grantee must submit a satisfactory opinion of counsel that all necessary rights, easements, and permits have been obtained.

4. If site control is expected to expire during the open activity period, the Applicant must document that either an alternative site will be made available or that the activity operators intend to extend or renew the site control on the existing site.

All activities will need to provide proof of intent to extend site control and submit documentation upon site control extension. Site control must be maintained through the operation period of the activity.

5. 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. The determination as to what constitutes acceptable evidence of site control shall be made by the Department in its sole and absolute discretion.

C. Statement of Assurances (Appendix D)
Applicant must submit the fully executed Certifications and Statement of Assurances (see Appendix D), including the Jurisdiction’s name, initialing all pages [where applicable], and completing the last page.

2. See Appendix C for the Department-approved Authorizing Resolution form as well as instructions on how to complete it.

3. If a governing body must prepare a separate resolution concurrently that conforms to its local standard, it may do so in addition to preparing the Authorizing Resolution form provided by the Department. Applicants must submit their approved resolutions on the form provided by the Department by the application due date. Failure to provide an acceptable resolution at the time of application will result in a delay executing the Standard Agreement.

4. Authorized Signatory involving a City Jurisdiction: Pursuant to California G.C. Sections 40601 and 40602, the mayor or mayor pro tempore must sign any written contracts and conveyances made or entered into by the city, unless the city has an ordinance or municipal code provision in effect that specifically allows or designates contracts to be signed by an officer other than the mayor or mayor pro tempore. Accordingly, if the city does not have a city ordinance or municipal code provision described above, then the Department requires that the mayor or mayor pro tempore sign the Standard Agreement as the authorized signer for the city and provide to the Department the Resolution from the City Council authorizing the mayor to sign the Standard Agreement and related documents on behalf of the city. The mayor or mayor pro tempore may not delegate to a third party his or her authority to sign documents unless there is a city ordinance or municipal code provision in effect that expressly authorizes such delegation and a duly authorized resolution reflecting such delegation is provided to the Department. If the city does have an ordinance or municipal code provision as described above, the Department requires the city to provide a copy of such ordinance or municipal code, as well as the Resolution that indicates the name and title of the city official authorized to sign the Standard Agreement and related documents. The Resolution required by this section must be in form and content acceptable to the Department. The Department reserves the right in all cases to require the Applicant to timely provide a satisfactory written legal opinion from the City Attorney (or other legal

M. Planning Related to Another Activity Only
Applicants wishing to apply for engineering, architectural, and design costs (bidready plans and specs) related to a specific eligible construction activity may do so under a Planning application, however this will not be considered a Planning-only activity. It will be considered Planning Related to Another Activity and will be coded under the ultimate planned-for Matrix Code. For example, bid-ready plans and specs for a senior center will be coded under 03A for Senior Center, and will not be considered to have met the National Objective until the Senior Center is fully built.

To submit an eligible Planning Related to Another Activity application, applicants must demonstrate activity feasibility and obtain written approval from the Department prior to submitting an application. Without prior written authorization from the Department, the application will not meet threshold.

To obtain written authorization, submit an email to [email protected] with the following information:

1. Description of the work to be done.

2. List of deliverables (i.e. architectural designs, independent cost estimate, etc.).

3. If there was a feasibility or preliminary engineering/architectural study conducted for this project, please include that as an attachment to the email.

6. Identify if there are any potential barriers to this project (e.g., permitting, laws, site control, community opposition, etc.).

7. Provide a timeline for the project from planning through construction and closeout.

8. Provide a cost estimate for the project.

9. Is the project’s NEPA complete? If so, please provide.

Additional information may be requested and must be provided. Submission of information does not guarantee written authorization. Once all information is provided and reviewed, the Department will review the information and determine in its sole and absolute discretion, if the proposed activity is feasible and provide written authorization as applicable. Authorization letters are only valid for the current NOFA cycle.

All requests must be submitted via email to the CDBG Unit inbox ([email protected]) no later than by 9AM (PST), 14 calendar days prior to the Submission Portal Opening Date as stated in Section I.B. of this NOFA. If the 14th day lands on a holiday or weekend, the deadline will be the next available business day at 9AM (PST).

N. 50 Percent Rule
Any applicant with one or more current and open CDBG Standard Agreements for which the expenditure deadline established in the agreement(s) has not yet passed must have expended, in aggregate, at least 50 percent of CDBG funds for the same type of activity(s) included in those open CDBG Standard Agreement(s).

For example, if an applicant has 2 open public service awards (one for a hot meals program for $250,000 and another for senior services for $300,000), the applicant must have expended at least 50 percent of the total combined amounts of both awards ($275,001) in order to apply for a new public service application.

Requirement must be met by the time the application submission period opens. For purposes of the “50 Percent Rule,” “expended” means that a Financial Report was submitted in the grants management system and passed at least 2 steps of approval – regardless of the “Spend” column shown in the grants management system.

Applicants with an open CDBG Standard Agreement(s) may not disencumber funds in order to comply with the 50 Percent Rule requirement. Applicants who are preparing to close out an open CDBG Standard Agreement that includes disencumbrance that may affect compliance with the 50 Percent Rule, should submit an exemption request to the CDBG unit inbox ([email protected]) prior to the

California Department of Housing and Community Development 2025 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA 25
Submission Portal Opening Date. Exemption request must include the draft completed Closeout Package and public notice with proof of posting. The Department has sole and absolute discretion on exemption approval. Exemption approval may be rescinded if the final completed closeout package is not received by the Department by the application submission portal closing date.

VI. Application and Activity Requirements
A. Federal Cross-Cutting Requirements
At time of application submission, all applications must comply with and provide documentation of HUD’s federal cross-cutting requirements found at 24 C.F.R. §570.600 et. seq., and summarized in XII: Federal Program Requirements of this NOFA, as the same may be amended from time to time.

B. Application Verification
Applicants must certify upon submission that their application is true and correct to the best of their knowledge. Selecting an input field or uploading a blank document to circumvent the application requirements invalidates the application certification and will result in immediate disqualification. Applicants that intentionally input false information or that intentionally upload blank documents will have their good standing with the Department revoked and may be determined to be ineligible for other Department funding. Applicants are warned that intentionally providing false information to the Department may constitute fraud.

C. Timely Submittal
Applicants are strongly encouraged to give plenty of time for submitting prior to the application cutoff date and at least several hours prior to the cutoff time.

If an input field, upload requirement, or application component is not functioning correctly, or if there are system outages or other system failures prior to submittal, please contact [email protected] as soon as possible prior to the cutoff time to document the issue so that applications are not disqualified due to technical difficulties. Failure to contact the Department with system issues will not exempt Applicants from application verification requirements.

D. Gap Funding/“But-For”
CDBG is intended to provide stop-gap funding for crucial infrastructure, public safety, housing, and social service projects. CDBG funds may not be obligated to Activities that are documented to already have sufficient funding for the Activity as described, or that have identified multiple funding sources for the same costs,

California Department of Housing and Community Development 2025 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA 26
resulting in overfunding of the Activity. CDBG funds must be “but-for” funding for every Activity and may not be used to supplant local or state resources. CDBG grant funds cannot be used to replace funds that have been budgeted and/or expended from another funding source for the same Activity (i.e., there cannot be any supplanting). Pre-agreement costs are generally eligible provided that the initial funding for those costs is identified as a temporary funding source (such as a loan from a local fund wherein the loan is float-funding the CDBG Activity pre-agreement costs, but such costs must be repaid so that the temporary loaned funds may be used as originally intended) and that the costs are budgeted to be part of the CDBG Activity.

CDBG funds are not intended to be the sole funding source for a project or program.

E. Good Standing
The Applicant, and any co-Applicant, together with all respective affiliates, must be in good standing with the Department (i.e., are current on all loan and/or grant obligations, have a satisfactory past performance history in all their prior dealings with the Department, and are in full compliance with all Department contracts and reporting requirements). Applicants not meeting the foregoing requirements shall be ineligible to apply for or receive funding under this NOFA.

F. Homelessness Assistance
If you are seeking funding for homelessness assistance, generally defined as activities falling under matrix codes 03C or 03T, you must be a participating member of your local homelessness Continuum of Care (CoC). To demonstrate this, please submit a letter on CoC letterhead signed by the CoC coordinator that states that your jurisdiction is a participating member of the Continuum of Care.

G. Readiness
Planning related to another activity and public facilities and infrastructure project applications must demonstrate readiness as outlined in Section V: Application Threshold and Initial Requirements of this NOFA and the application.

Housing and Economic Development Program applications must demonstrate readiness to be considered for funding. To be considered “ready,” a program will need to provide the following at application submission to the satisfaction of the Department:

1. Draft or final program guidelines,

2. An underwriter either secured or a draft RFP/RFQ to be released within 60 days of Standard Agreement execution by the Department, and

3. A marketing plan/strategy.

California Department of Housing and Community Development 2025 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA 27
H. Waivers
Any requests for waivers or exceptions to any requirements must be submitted to the CDBG unit inbox ([email protected]) within 30 calendar days of the NOFA release. The denial of any request for a waiver or exception may not be appealed.

The granting or withholding of any waivers or exceptions are subject to the Department’s sole and absolute discretion and in compliance with applicable law.

VII. Application Submission
A. Workshops
The Department is conducting a series of both live and pre-recorded application workshops. These workshops will include training on:
i) Resolution (formerly: Resolutions: What is required and why) ii) Public Participation
iii) NEPA (formerly: How to complete the correct level of Environmental Review) iv) Debarment (formerly: How to pull a debarment check) v) Preparing the Narrative & Milestones (formerly: How to write a narrative and milestones)
vi) Single Audit
vii) 2024 CDBG Application & Budget (formerly: Completing the 2024 NOFA Application and Budget)
viii) 2025 CDBG NOFA Review (formerly: CDBG 2024 NOFA Review) Applicants are required to attend these workshop sessions. It is important to attend and engage in the live webinars to ensure a complete and accurate application is submitted. If they are unable to attend the live virtual workshop, Applicants must certify that they have reviewed these workshops on the CDBG website. The website also provides Training and Technical Assistance materials on the CDBG program, the CDBG Program Redesign, using Grants Network, and preparing a CDBG program application in Grants Network.

Excessive corrections may result in disqualification, or an application being reverted to draft to reapply. Please visit the Department’s website for upcoming information.

B. Submission Process
Applicants must follow instructions in this NOFA, the online application, and the CDBG program Guidelines. The Department strongly encourages Applicants to have all required documents on hand when completing the application. Failure to

California Department of Housing and Community Development 2025 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA 28
follow instructions and timely submit all required documentation (including a Main and all required Sub Applications) will result in disqualification. Time is strictly of the essence with respect to the application deadlines and other deadlines referenced in this NOFA. Once submitted, applications must stand on their own. It is the Applicant’s responsibility to ensure that the submitted application is clear, complete, and accurate.

California Department of Housing and Community Development 2025 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA 33
Successful Applicants (awardees) will enter into a Standard Agreement with the Department. A draft, sample Standard Agreement is included as Appendix E to this NOFA. The Standard Agreement contains all the relevant state and federal requirements, Activity performance and management requirements, and disbursement requirements. The form and content of the sample draft Standard Agreement is subject to revision without prior notice. A condition of award will be that a Standard Agreement must be executed by the awardee within 30 days (contracting period) of the awardee’s receipt of the Standard Agreement(s).

To ensure that the Standard Agreement(s) are being sent to the correct individual, Applicants MUST complete ALL required sections of the profile section of the application and must let the Department know in writing if the contact information has changed since the time of application submittal by emailing [email protected]. Standard Agreements and communication during this process will be with the email address designated in the profile section of the Application.

XII. Federal Program Requirements
A. Federal Cross-Cutting Requirements
The CDBG program is administered under the rules and regulations promulgated primarily in 24 C.F.R. §570.600, et seq, as the same may be amended from time to time. These primary regulations are known as the federal cross-cutting requirements and form the basis of the programmatic requirements. The Department incorporates all federal cross-cutting requirements into the state CDBG program, and the regulations in Part 570 are translated into required actions on the part of all Grantees of the state CDBG program.

The following is a list of some of the most commonly applicable federal cross-cutting requirements. This is not an exhaustive list.
i) Environmental Standards (based on National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 [NEPA])
ii) Labor Standards (Davis-Bacon and related laws)
iii) Public participation requirements
iv) Fair Housing

California Department of Housing and Community Development 2025 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA 34
v) Equal Opportunity and Non-Discrimination in federal Grant Programs vi) Federal Procurement Guidelines
vii) National Flood Insurance Program compliance
viii) Relocation and displacement requirements
ix) Employment and Contracting Opportunities Section 3 Compliance x) Lead-based paint requirements
xi) No use of debarred, ineligible, or suspended contractors or sub-recipients xii) Uniform Administrative Requirements and Cost Principles xiii) Conflict of interest prohibitions
xiv) Compliance with the Architectural Barriers Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act
xv) Federal reporting requirements
xvi) Grant and subrecipient monitoring requirements
xvii) Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) requirements B. Relocation Plan Requirements
Applicants engaging in project-specific activities that may or will cause the temporary or permanent relocation and displacement of persons, property, or businesses must provide a project-specific relocation plan as part of the application. The plan must meet the standards established in the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (URA) and any applicable State relocation requirements. Applicants must successfully demonstrate that they have met URA requirements prior to the start of the project or displacement Activity.

Applicants must include relocation costs in project budgets and timely pay the same to those displaced in accordance with applicable law.

Applicants must provide relocation assistance to persons who may be displaced if the Activity in the grant application is funded. This plan must outline how the Grantee will enforce and manage the project’s relocation and displacement activities and estimate what relocation benefits will be required so those costs can be included in the project’s development budget.

C. Procurement Requirements
Pursuant to 24 C.F.R. §570.489(g), all Grantees must comply with federal procurement requirements. The Department will review the Grantee’s procurement documents for services (i.e., administrative sub-contractor, Davis-Bacon consultant, etc.) at time of monitoring or upon the Grantee’s request.

California Department of Housing and Community Development 2025 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA 35
Requirements for federal procurement can be found at 2 C.F.R. §200.317-327.

Applicants are responsible for meeting all federal procurement standards for goods and services funded through federal programs. Failure to meet procurement requirements may result in disqualification, recapture of federal funds, and debarment.

D. False, Fictitious or Fraudulent Claims
Warning: Any person who knowingly makes a false claim or statement to HUD or the Department may be subject to civil or criminal penalties under 18 U.S.C. §287, 1001 and 31 U.S.C. §3729.

1. Detecting, Preventing, and Reporting Fraud
Fraud is a white-collar crime that has a devastating effect on the CDBG program because the CDBG program beneficiaries are victims of this crime when the CDBG program is abused. The Department wants to stop any criminal assault on the CDBG program it administers, and in doing so all CDBG funds go to people it was designed to help and improve their living conditions.

2. Combatting Fraud
The HUD Office of Inspector General (OIG) is committed to protecting HUD’s programs, operations, and beneficiaries from dishonest individuals and organizations.

HUD cannot combat fraud alone; they rely on Department and CDBG NOFA Applicants to combat CDBG program fraud. HUD also relies on Applicants for, and people receiving, HUD benefits, such as: tenants receiving rental assistance, borrowers with HUD insured loans, or citizens having their communities restored using HUD grants.

The HUD OIG Hotline number is 1-800-347-3735. This is the primary means to submit allegations of fraud, waste, abuse, mismanagement, or Whistleblower related matters for the CDBG program to the OIG.

HUD OIG accepts reports of fraud, waste, abuse, or mismanagement in the CDBG program from HUD employees, anyone administering the CDGB program, anyone working in the CDBG program, contractors, and the public.

You can report mismanagement or violations of law, rules, or regulations by HUD employees or program participants.

Fraud, Waste and Abuse in the CDBG program and its operation may be reported in one of the following four (4) ways:
i) By email:
[email protected]

E. 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:
i) a violation of any law, rule, or regulation,
ii) gross mismanagement,
iii) a gross waste of funds,
iv) an abuse of authority, or
v) 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:
i) Informing a supervisor or someone higher up in management,

California Department of Housing and Community Development 2025 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA 37
ii) Submitting a complaint to the OIG by emailing the OIG at [email protected], iii) Filing a complaint with the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) http://www.osc.gov/
F. The California Whistleblower Protection Act
The California Whistleblower Protection Act (Title 2, Division 1, Chapter 6.5, Article 3.5, G.C. §§ 8548-8548.5) 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:
i) Violates any state or federal law or regulation,
ii) 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
iii) 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 to an appropriate law enforcement agency conducting a criminal investigation.

There are many ways to file a complaint:
i) By Telephone:

You may 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 you call when the hotline is not being staffed, or staff is occupied with other calls, you may leave a voicemail message requesting a return call.
ii) By Mail or Facsimile:

You may file a complaint in the form of a letter to the State Auditor addressed as follows:

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

California Department of Housing and Community Development 2025 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA 38
iii) As an alternative, you may complete the electronic version of the complaint form (which is available on the State Auditor website at auditor.ca.gov), print it out, and return it by mail or facsimile as stated above. iv) Online:

Although the State Auditor does not accept complaints by e-mail, you may file a complaint online at
https://app.scoutcms.com/CaStateAuditorWhistleblowerComplaint v) The State Auditor will not undertake an investigation unless there is a basis for believing that your complaint has sufficient merit to warrant spending resources on an investigation. Your complaint should therefore include:
a.A clear and concise statement of what you Compare alleging to be improper activity and why you believe it is improper.
b.The name or other information that clearly identifies the person you are alleging has acted improperly and the department where that person works.
c. The names and contact information for any witnesses who can confirm the truth of what you are saying.
d.Copies of any documents that will support what you are saying. (You should not submit original documents, as they cannot be returned.)

SUBJECT: Approval of Resolution No. 2026-21 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MCFARLAND, CALIFORNIA ACCEPTING THE $10,000.00

DONATION FROM LOVE DOGS RESCUE TO SUPPORT SNIP CLINIC SPAY

AND NEUTER SERVICES
SUMMARY:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 2026-21 accepting a donation from the Love Dogs Rescue Foundation in the amount of $10,000.00 to support spay and neuter services through the SNIP Clinic for animals housed at the McFarland Animal Services Shelter and for dogs owned by residents within the community.

The City of McFarland Animal Services Division is responsible for promoting responsible pet ownership and reducing the number of stray animals in the community. Spay and neuter programs are a widely recognized and effective strategy for controlling pet overpopulation, improving animal health, and reducing shelter intake. The SNIP Clinic provides low-cost spay and neuter services that assist communities in addressing these issues. Through partnerships with local organizations and donors, the clinic helps make these services accessible to residents who may otherwise be unable to afford them.

Love Dogs Rescue Foundation made this donation on the condition of compliance with the program rules. The requirements are supporting spay and neuter procedure services, microchip, vaccinations and pain medications for procedures.The rules are outlined in the attachment.

Acceptance of this donation will allow the City to expand access to spay and neuter services through the SNIP Clinic. These services will benefit both shelter animals awaiting adoption and privately owned dogs within the McFarland community.

Providing these services offers several important benefits, including:
• Reducing unwanted litters and animal overpopulation
• Decreasing shelter intake and associated operational costs • Improving animal health and welfare
Shelter animals receiving these services will be better prepared for adoption, while community members will have access to affordable procedures that may otherwise be cost-prohibitive.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The $10,000.00 donation from the Love Dogs Rescue Foundation will be used specifically to fund spay and neuter procedures provided by the SNIP Clinic. Acceptance of the donation will not require additional General Fund expenditures.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the acceptance of the donation and approval of Resolution 2026-21.

OF THE CITY OF MCFARLAND APPROVING TEMPORARY USE PERMIT 2026-20 FOR THE MCFARLAND USA 5K, 10K, AND 1 MILE ADAPTIVE RUN SUMMARY:

The applicant, McFarland USA Foundation, is applying for a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) for his proposal of the McFarland USA 5k, 10K, and 1-mile Adaptive Run. His proposal is to host the event on April 25, 2026 at the Blanco Park on 1000 E. Sherwood Avenue. The McFarland USA run in 2025 had a total of 300 attendees and is expecting a similar number of attendees for this run. The run brings together an estimated 20 volunteers and an additional group of City staff to assist with road closures and detours. The applicant requested consent from the City of McFarland City Manager to use the City-owned Blanco Park as the site for the event proposal.

The proposed start time is 7AM and the race entry fee starts at $30. All proceeds of the race event go towards funding the McFarland USA Scholarship.

With the consent of the City of McFarland, the McFarland USA Run has been a yearly occurrence at the Blanco Park; however, the proposal this year includes an Adaptive Run.

The City of McFarland and the McFarland USA Marathon have worked together to incorporate the McFarland USA Adaptive Run, designed to provide inclusive participation opportunities for individuals with physical, sensory, and developmental disabilities. The Adaptive Run will allow athletes who utilize mobility aids such as wheelchairs, handcycles, racing chairs, walkers, or other adaptive equipment to participate in a safe and supportive race environment.

The addition of an Adaptive Run aligns with the City’s commitment to equity, accessibility, and community inclusion by ensuring that community members and visitors all have the opportunity to engage in community wellness events. This initiative also reflects McFarland’s identity as a running community and builds upon the legacy of the McFarland High School cross country program and the spirit of the McFarland USA Marathon.

The Adaptive Run will be coordinated with the existing marathon event schedule and will include appropriate safety measures, course accessibility considerations, and volunteer support to assist participants. Partnerships with local organizations, disability advocacy groups, and community volunteers will be explored to ensure the event is welcoming, and responsive to participant needs.

By adding the Adaptive Run component, the McFarland USA Marathon will further promote health, inclusivity, and community pride, while expanding participation and reinforcing the City’s reputation as a community that celebrates athletic achievement for ALL.

Entry Fee: Starts at $30

Number of Volunteers: 20 Volunteers

FROM: Saul Ayon, Mayor
SUBJECT: Approval of Resolution No. 2026-16 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL

OF THE CITY OF MCFARLAND, CALIFORNIA, EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR THE DIGNIDAD (DIGNITY) ACT, H.R. 4393
SUMMARY:

The City of McFarland is a proud, diverse, and predominantly immigrant and immigrantdescendant community. Agriculture has long been the backbone of McFarland’s local economy, providing employment opportunities for generations of families who contribute daily to the regional, state, and national food supply. Many residents are long-term members of the community who work, raise families, pay taxes, and play an active role in civic life.

Federal immigration policy directly affects McFarland’s residents, workforce stability, local businesses, and overall economic resilience. The current federal immigration system is widely recognized as outdated and in need of comprehensive reform that balances border security, humanitarian responsibility, and economic stability.

H.R. 4393, known as the DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act, proposes a bipartisan framework intended to modernize the nation’s immigration system while strengthening border security and accountability, improving legal pathways to work, and supporting family unity.

DISCUSSION
The Dignity Act includes several provisions that are particularly relevant to communities like McFarland, including:
• Strengthening border security and enforcement measures while maintaining accountability and oversight;
• Establishing a structured, lawful temporary legal status program for long-term undocumented residents that includes background checks, employment requirements, restitution payments, and compliance with U.S. laws;
• Providing legal pathways for individuals to live and work lawfully in the United States without granting automatic citizenship;
• Reducing longstanding visa backlogs and improving efficiency in legal immigration and asylum processing;
• Protecting family unity and reducing the fear of family separation for long-term residents; and • Directing participant fees toward workforce development, apprenticeships, and job training programs that benefit American workers and strengthen local economies.

As an agricultural community, McFarland understands the importance of a reliable, lawful workforce and the need for policies that recognize the dignity of workers who sustain critical industries. Balanced immigration reform promotes economic stability, public safety, and workforce reliability while respecting the rule of law.

Adoption of this resolution would formally express the City Council’s support for thoughtful federal immigration solutions that reflect McFarland’s values and lived realities.

This action does not alter local law or policy. It serves solely as a formal statement of position by the City Council.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with adoption of this resolution.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution expressing the City of McFarland’s support for the DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act, H.R. 4393.

Re: SUPPORT FOR THE DIGNIDAD (DIGNITY) ACT, H.R. 4393
Dear Members of Congress,
On behalf of the City of McFarland, California, we write to express our support for the DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act, H.R. 4393.

McFarland is a proud agricultural community with deep immigrant roots. Our residents and workforce play a vital role in sustaining the agricultural economy that feeds our region, our state, and our nation. Many are long-term members of our community who contribute to local businesses, schools, and civic life.

Federal immigration policy has a direct and tangible impact on communities like McFarland. We believe the Dignity Act represents a balanced, bipartisan approach that strengthens border security while recognizing the economic realities and human dignity of long-term residents who are integral to our workforce and local economy.

The Act’s emphasis on lawful status, accountability, employment participation, family unity, and workforce development aligns with our community’s values and the practical needs of agricultural regions. By providing structured pathways to legal work without automatic citizenship, the legislation promotes stability, public safety, and economic resilience.

We respectfully urge Congress to advance the DIGNIDAD Act and work toward comprehensive immigration reform that supports American workers, strengthens key industries, and reflects the lived experiences of communities like McFarland.

Thank you for your leadership and consideration.

Sincerely,
Saul Ayon
Mayor, City of McFarland

DIGNITY ACT OF 2025 (H.R. 4393)
Congresswoman Maria Salazar (R-FL) and Congresswoman Veronica Escobar (D-TX) have introduced an immigration bill called the Dignity Act (H.R. 4393). It has been nearly 40 years since we have addressed unauthorized workers in many industries in our nation.

This affects not only agricultural employees, but many others including those working in restaurants, construction, hotels, and other industries.

1. Apply in the United States for the Dignity Card here (do not have to leave). Removing the fear factor in the community. Includes all industries, individual businesses, and families. 2. Apply for a work authorization card (Dignity Card) which is a 7 year renewable card. Family members will also receive a card and protective status. At this time, the Dignity Act card will not be eligible for citizenship. 3. Upon receiving the Dignity Card, you will be able to travel outside of the United States of America. 4. Paying a restitution fee for being here undocumented (a reasonable penalty fee). Currently, the proposed fee is $1000 per year for seven years and it ends. In addition, there will be a 1% levy on gross income per year. This is not amnesty.5. Dignity Act beneficiaries will continue to sustain our workforce in the United States of America, at the same time working on a sensible guest worker program.

6. Dreamers will have the opportunity to adjust to permanent residency. Under the Dignity Act, the Dream Act would grant DACA recipients’ permanent legal status upon fulfilling certain requirements in a streamlined process. 7. The individuals will be able to purchase health care, for them and their families. That is part of the requirement. 8. After 3 years, all employers must transition to the E-Verify System.
