5 (f) All exhibits, documents or other physical evidence used by applicant or other interested parties during the hearings, will become part of the record and retained by the Secretary until the decision becomes final.
(g) Witnesses shall not be required to be sworn. Each witness will be required to approach the microphone and give their full name for the record before making a presentation.
(h) The right to question the witnesses shall be afforded, if requested.
However, the Chairperson may require that such questions be addressed through the Chairperson for resubmission to the witness.
(i) The reading of details of letters and petitions by the persons submitting them will not be permitted. Such documents may be filed with the Secretary and the Secretary shall mark them as having been received for the limited purpose of showing the names of the persons protesting or supporting the application.
(j) While it is desirable in a democratic process to permit every person an unlimited right to speak, such a right may unduly prolong a public hearing and cloud the basic issue if the comments presented are merely cumulative and repetitious. Therefore, whenever necessary, the Chairperson will state that cumulative and repetitious comments are to be avoided and may limit the time allocated for persons who wish to speak. Similarly, testimony and comments which are incompetent, irrelevant or immaterial shall be foreclosed by the Chairperson. If, because of the informality of the hearing, such improper comments are received, it shall not be considered by the Commission in reaching its decision.

(l) After those in favor and opposed to an application have been heard, the Chairperson will ask for the recommendation of the staff and the reasons for such recommendation. After such recommendation, one spokesperson for the applicant and one spokesperson for the opponents shall be given a limited amount of time to summarize their position or respond to the recommendation, after which the Chairperson shall close the public portion of the hearing.
(m) The Commission should discuss the issues involved and make its decision only after hearing the evidence presented at the public hearing. Discussion of the matter by Commission members should be delayed until after the public hearing is closed and the matter is presented to the Commission for discussion and decision. (n) The Commission may take a field trip to view the property involved in the public hearing. All field trips shall be taken as part of a regular, adjourned regular, or special meeting of the Commission and all interested persons will be afforded the opportunity to #5..

6 be present to hear any reports or comments. A complete record of such field trip will be entered into the minutes so the record will indicate that the field trip was taken into consideration as evidence. If a Commissioner has personal knowledge of the property or area, the Commissioner should make a statement to that effect at the time of the hearing so the record will reflect everything being taken into consideration in making the final decision. (o) Commissioners are responsible for ensuring that the public hearing is conducted in a fair and impartial manner. If a Commissioner receives a significant personal contact or telephone call outside of the public hearing which concerns a matter pending before or of interest to the Landmark Preservation Commission, he or she shall disclose the substance and nature of the contact or call at the public hearing. If written materials are presented to the Commission by an applicant or member of the public, a copy should be made available for public review by filing the materials with the Secretary at least three (3) days in advance of the meeting at which the item or matter is scheduled to be considered or at the time the materials are provided to any Commissioner, whichever is earliest.

PUBLIC COMMENT IN PERSON
Francis O'Brien spoke regarding the Kaiser Medical facility in Fleur de Ville, which was originally promised as a low-key, three-story hospital but has grown into a large medical campus with multiple buildings. He expressed concern over recent construction disruptions and claimed Kaiser has not fulfilled their promises, including not meeting review requirements since 2011 and failing to build as initially planned.
He also noted that Kaiser has purchased other hospitals in nearby cities and questioned their commitment to Modesto. O'Brien suggested the City Council should review Kaiser’s progress and ensure they adhere to their agreements. David Stevens addressed the Council about their denial to address traffic and safety issues on his street. He recapped that his initial, simple request was to slow down or restrict commercial traffic on a short block to ensure children's safety. Despite several months of efforts and a meeting with the Mayor, the Council ultimately denied the request, citing a resolution signed 20 years ago. Stevens argued that conditions have changed significantly since then and that resolutions should adapt to current needs. He criticized the Council for not addressing the issue and expressed frustration over their inaction.
Micah Dizney addressed the Council concerning commercial development on his street. Four months earlier, he and his neighbors had requested action but felt their concerns were dismissed with unreasonable excuses. Dizney criticized the resolution's effectiveness, noting issues with a gate intended to restrict traffic. He expressed frustration that the Council had not enforced compliance with property owners and criticized their inaction. Although he appreciated the Mayor's and Allison's help, he urged the Council to take meaningful action to ensure the safety of children on his street and not simply offer denials.
Carson Dizney, a 16-year-old resident of Water Street in Modesto, shared his perspective on the safety issues his family has faced. Over the past four years, he has walked frequently to various activities and experienced numerous near misses with vehicles on his own dead-end street. Despite his vigilance, he expressed concern for younger children who might not be as visible to drivers. Carson urged the Council to consider the safety of the children on his street, echoing his father's earlier points, and thanked them for their time.
Diane Kroeze addressed the Council about the Gospel Mission's efforts to house more homeless women and children, emphasizing that while this was a positive step, it did not fully meet the community's needs. She expressed concern that resources and coordination with the Salvation Army had been reduced, leading to fewer beds and less support for the homeless. Kroeze criticized recent decisions on homeless services, such as rejecting safe camping and warehouse options, and questioned the effectiveness of current policies. She highlighted the inhumane conditions faced by the homeless and urged the Council to consider the real impact of their decisions. #7..

Sebastian Jones addressed the Council, expressing frustration over recent accusations and the need to clear his name as a community activist. He denied claims of inappropriate behavior, emphasizing his commitment to peace and respect. Jones also reiterated his longstanding efforts to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by advocating for the renaming of a building in Modesto. He criticized the Council for not responding to his concerns and expressed determination to see the building properly named after Dr. King. Jones requested the Council to address these issues and respect the truth of his activism.
Zafir Solomon addressed the Council, expressing frustration over the lack of progress in addressing homelessness. He mentioned seeing news about a California Senate Bill offering $150,000 to home buyers, including undocumented individuals, and questioned why similar support couldn’t be used to address homelessness. Solomon criticized the local approach to handling homeless individuals, noting that they were frequently moved around without proper solutions. He highlighted the mental health challenges many faced and criticized the ineffective enforcement measures, such as fines and jail time. Solomon urged the Council to use common sense and take meaningful action to address homelessness in Modesto, drawing from his own experience maintaining a clean business in South Modesto. Emerson Drake addressed the Council, expressing dissatisfaction with the handling of housing issues in Modesto. He criticized the recent approval of 527 new homes, which he noted were priced significantly higher than initially advertised. Drake highlighted a past practice of requiring affordable housing in large developments, which he felt was missing from current plans. He warned against creating low-cost housing areas that could become problematic, drawing on negative experiences from other cities like Chicago. Drake also recalled past issues with local camping ordinances, which he felt were overly restrictive. He urged the Council to prioritize affordable housing and enforce requirements for developers to include it in their projects. Loretta Carhart spoke about her concerns regarding property lines and construction in her neighborhood. She requested information on the property lines for alleys between Needham and Alice, and the 100 block of Hackberry. Carhart expressed frustration over seeing people build on property lines despite regulations that require a five-foot setback. She felt that those with financial resources were able to bypass these rules. She sought assistance in resolving these issues and requested to be directed to the appropriate contact for further help.

TO: Mayors, Council Members, City Clerks, and City Managers RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 16-18, 2024 Long Beach Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.
Taking place on Oct. 18, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Wed., Sept. 25. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.
Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.
Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.
Council Action Advised by September 25, 2024

For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.
Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.
Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.
Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Oct. 16, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 17, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 18, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.
The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.
Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.
Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Wednesday, Sept. 25. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.
How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.
The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.
The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.
Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.
Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.
Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.
Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.
The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.
Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.
Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.
During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.
Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.
For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.
General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f). #8..

DISCUSSION:
The monthly budget adjustments attached as Exhibit A in this item include adjustments across various departments. These adjustments are explained in further detail within Exhibit A. In addition, Exhibit C includes adjustment to the position allocation for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact of each item is noted in the attachments to this report. The adjustments are for Fiscal Year 2023-24 and Fiscal Year 2024-25.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This item was presented to the Finance Committee on August 26, 2024, and was recommended to be forwarded to Council for approval. It must be noted that since the recommendation of the Finance Committee the following changes and additions have been made for the reasons noted below.
Under Fiscal Year 2023-24 in the Community & Economic Development section, a new item was added to adjust the budget to account for Homeowner Rehabilitation Loans that are being converted into Grants in the Revolving Loan Fund in the total amount of $200,000. A budget adjustment in the amount of $200,000 is needed to account for the Homeowner Rehabilitation Loans that are being converted to Grants in the Revolving Loan Fund (1155). This program is designed to eliminate health and safety hazards in residential properties for qualifying low-income households, and each loan has met the affordability covenant. The Homeowner Rehabilitation Program is funded through the Community Block Grant Revolving Loan Fund.
Under Fiscal Year 2023-24 in the Fire Department section, the item related to reallocating budgeted revenue from the General Fund Grants – Operations Reimbursed Fund for the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant has been increased from $400,000 to $600,720. The increase was due to additional ineligible expenses being recognized in FY 2023-24 that need to be covered by the General Fund. The language has changed as follows:
A budget adjustment is needed to reallocate the budgeted revenue from the General Fund (0100) to the Grants – Operations Grants Reimbursed Fund (1341) in the amount of $600,720 for the MFD – 2020 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Staffing For Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant. In addition, an increase is needed to the transfer out from the General Fund (0100) to the Grants – Operations Grants Reimbursed Fund (1341) in the amount of $600,720 to account for overtime expenses that are ineligible to be reimbursed by the grant and the overtime account within the MFD – 2020 FEMA SAFER Grant cost center needs to be increased by the same amount as those expenses are paid from the cost center.
Under Fiscal Year 2023-24 in the Measure L – Engineering Services Department section, a new item was added to recognize the Measure L revenue received in the fiscal year. The language is as follows:

The additional revenue to recognize is in an amount up to $3,200,000 for the Local Streets & Roads (14625), Traffic Management (14626), and Bike & Pedestrian (14627) cost centers.
Under Fiscal Year 2023-24 in the Police Department section, the item related to increasing the discretionary expenses in the Traffic Safety Fund (1600) is being increased to not exceed $250,000 due to additional expenses being accrued back to the fiscal year. The language is as follows:
A budget adjustment in an amount not to exceed $250,000 is necessary to increase Discretionary Expenses in the Traffic Safety Fund (1600). The fund is currently over budget due to higher-than-expected repair and equipment needs. The increase in budget will be coming from the Fund Reserves.

Monthly Budget Adjustment Report
EXHIBIT A
FISCAL YEAR 2023-24
COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
A budget adjustment is needed to increase the budget in Fund 1130 – Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) in the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Program by $300,000 for Administration during FY2024. The increase of expenses is due to an increase in the Indirect Rate Cost Proposals adjustments (ICRP) and support for potential and new programs including the Economic Development Initiative (EDI), Bridge Housing, Camp2Home, and Homekey programs, creating low-income housing and providing support to those unhoused in our community. This is fully funded by Federal CDBG funds and has no impact to the General Fund. A budget adjustment in the amount of $200,000 is needed to account for the Homeowner Rehabilitation Loans that are being converted to Grants in the Revolving Loan Fund (1155). This program is designed to eliminate health and safety hazards in residential properties for qualifying low-income households, and each loan has met the affordability covenant. The Homeowner Rehabilitation Program is funded through the Community Block Grant Revolving Loan Fund.
MEASURE L – ENGINEERING SERVICES DEPARTMENT
A budget adjustment is necessary to recognize actual revenue received in the Measure L Fund (1410) for the fiscal year FY 2023-24. The additional revenue to recognize is in an amount up to $3,200,000 for the Local Streets & Roads (14625), Traffic Management (14626), and Bike & Pedestrian (14627) cost centers.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
A budget adjustment is needed to reallocate the budgeted revenue from the General Fund (0100) to the Grants – Operations Grants Reimbursed Fund (1341) in the amount of $600,720 for the MFD – 2020 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Staffing For Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant. In addition, an increase is needed to the transfer out from the General Fund (0100) to the Grants – Operations Grants Reimbursed Fund (1341) in the amount of $600,720 to account for overtime expenses that are ineligible to be reimbursed by the grant and the overtime account within the MFD – 2020 FEMA SAFER Grant cost center needs to be increased by the same amount as those expenses are paid from the cost center.
HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT
A budget adjustment in the amount of $2,600,000 is needed in the Insurance – Liability Insurance Fund (5330) to account for an increase in Insurance Premiums and Claims Payments in the fiscal year. A portion of the increase is being covered by the fund reserves. Additionally, the overall Internal Service Fund (ISF) is being increased by $1,300,000 which will increase the revenue to Fund 5330 and increase the expense budgets for the ISF model. The expense increases of $1,300,000 have been split #9..

General Fund in the amount of $98,641 into the Non-Capital Multi-Year Project 101251 (PRN - MCP Deferred Maintenance) in Fund 4700 (Community Center Operations Fund) to meet the requirements of the agreement concerning TOT revenues. The project revenue and expenditure budget will also be decreased by the same amount of $98,641 per the agreement.
POLICE DEPARTEMENT
A budget adjustment in the amount of $75,000 is necessary to establish a transfer out from the General Fund (Fund 0100) to the 2022-2025 Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CALVIP) Grant Project (101422) in Police – Grants Fund 1342, for the match funds by way of existing staff time and use of facilities within the Police Department and Parks, Recreation and Neighborhoods Department. This was approved by Council on July 12, 2022, per resolution 2022-305, but the item did not include a budget resolution to establish the transfer for the City’s match.
A budget adjustment in the amount of $8,700 is needed to increase the Police - Grants Fund (1342) for Project 101609 – 2024/2025 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Grant to recognize the annual revenue received from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control from the State of California and allocate to the project discretionary expense budget based on the Alcohol Policing Partnership Program award in the amount of $58,700. Due to the need to begin work on the grant, a budget adjustment in the amount of $50,000 was completed on the City Manager’s authority. The adjustment will increase the budget by an additional $8,700 for a total project budget of $58,700. A budget adjustment in an amount not to exceed $250,000 is necessary to increase Discretionary Expenses in the Traffic Safety Fund (1600). The fund is currently over budget due to higher-than-expected repair and equipment needs. The increase in budget will be coming from the Fund Reserves.
A budget adjustment in the amount of $645,000 is necessary in the Police Grants Fund (1342) MPD - Community Health and Assistance Team (CHAT) CCP Fund Cost Center 19396 to increase the Salary and Discretionary Expenditure budgets and corresponding revenue based on the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 actual expenditures in this Cost Center. $466,000 in budgeted Salary Appropriations will be moved from the MPD - HUD ESG Homeless Outreach Cost Center 19205 and MPD - ARPA Outreach Specialists cost center 19206. Cost Centers 19205 and 19206 were previously funded by Housing and Urban Development (HUD) ESG Funding which expired 12/30/2022 and was most recently fund by America Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding which was exhausted 9/30/2024. On July 12, 2022, The Modesto Police Department was awarded funding from Stanislaus County Community Corrections Partnership (CPP) funding to support on-going Community Health and Assistance Team (CHAT) Efforts. All employees whose Home Cost Centers were 19205 and 19206 were moved to 19396. This budget adjustment will move remaining budgets in 19205 and 19206 to 19396 and increase the budget enough to cover the existing shortage. As part of the adjustment, a Transfer-in from the General fund will be established in the amount of $6,000 to cover ineligible discretionary or internal service fund expenditures.

The recommended action supports the City of Modesto’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan Initiative, Goal D: Provide safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance and sustainability efforts.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Modesto’s Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) are created to provide a funding and reimbursement mechanism for public facilities and/or services for various Specific Plan areas. CFDs are established to ensure that new development projects do not solely become the responsibility of the City’s General Fund and to ensure the long-term maintenance and aesthetic quality of each neighborhood.
In 1982, the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Act) was adopted by the State of California as a method for financing infrastructure improvements and services associated with new developments. The Act allows infrastructure improvements and services to be funded through a special tax paid by property owners.
DISCUSSION:
In July 2021, a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was issued soliciting qualifications from qualified public sector consulting firms with demonstrated experience in facilities planning, #10..

City Council, September 10, 2024
Third Amendment with Harris & Associates for Community Facilities Districts Engineering Services
infrastructure financing, and Mello-Roos Districts. Harris and Associates (Harris) was the only respondent and staff prepared and executed an agreement with Harris on September 13, 2021, to assist with Community Facilities Districts Engineering Services in the amount of $45,000.
On November 23, 2021, by Resolution No. 2021-448, the City executed the First Amendment to the agreement with Harris & Associates for an amount not to exceed $250,000. On October 24, 2023, by Resolution No. 2023-460, City Council approved the Second Amendment to the agreement which increased the contract amount to $350,000. In both Amendments, an increase to the agreement was required to provide the necessary support to staff to address development inquiries regarding the formation of Mello-Roos Districts.
Harris & Associates continues to assist the City on several projects including Tivoli, the Oakdale and Claribel Road Corridor Study, and a variety of technical services related to engineering and infrastructure assessment/maintenance.
Some of the additional areas that require support are listed below. As a result of these additional projects, the forecasted expenditures are anticipated to exceed the current contract budget in the amount of $350,000. Therefore, staff is recommending an increase in the amount of $200,000 to account for the following additional project areas:
Tivoli Voluntary Land Dedication Program (VLDP) Assistance CFD Formation - Fairview Village #2
CFD Formation - Village One Triangle
CFD Formation- Kiernan Business Park South #2
CFD Formation & Infrastructure Financing Plan/Facilities Master Plan – Tivoli North Various annexations in existing CFDs - facilities cost estimate reviews Modesto Municipal Code Section 8-3.203 generally requires all purchases which meet or exceed $100,000 for material, equipment, or contractual services to be formally bid. However, exceptions to the formal bidding process are granted in MMC 8-3.204(f) “Where the Purchasing Manager, in his or her discretion, determines that it is appropriate to amend the services or goods provided under an existing agreement to include additional similar goods or services, of limited quantity or scope, in order to increase efficiency and avoid delays or disruptions to City Services. Based on the additional need for services, the City is recommending a Third Amendment to this existing agreement to support the ongoing and anticipated development projects.
FISCAL IMPACT:
To continue supporting the expected and future projects, the City requires a Third Amendment increasing the Agreement amount by $200,000 from $350,000 to a new total of $550,000. The agreement will continue to be funded by developer deposits and the City’s respective Community Facilities Districts. There is no impact to the General Fund.

Date: November 17, 2021
TO: Mayor and Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Jaylen French, Director of Community and Economic Development SUBJECT: First Amendment with Harris & Associates for Community Facilities Districts Engineering Services
CONTACT: Jessica Hill, Community Development Manager,
[email protected], (209) 577-5321
DESCRIPTION:
Consider approving the First Amendment to an Agreement with Harris & Associates to provide engineering services for the City’s Assessment and Community Facilities Districts (CFDs), increasing the agreement amount by $205,000 from $45,000 to a new total of $250,000. (Funding Source: Various Community Facilities Districts and Developer Deposits) STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the City of Modesto’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan focus to provide safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance and sustainability efforts.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Modesto’s Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) are created to provide a funding and reimbursement mechanism for public facilities and/or services for various Specific Plan areas. CFDs are established to ensure that new development projects do not solely become the responsibility of the City’s General Fund and to ensure the long-term maintenance and aesthetic quality of each neighborhood.
In 1982, the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Act) was adopted by the State of California as a method for financing infrastructure improvements and services associated with new developments. The Act allows infrastructure improvements and services to be funded through a special tax paid by property owners.
DISCUSSION:
Based on the critical need to meet the demands of the unprecedented levels of new development, on July 14, 2021, the City released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) soliciting
#10..
- 131 -
City Council, November 23, 2021
First Amendment with Harris & Associates for Community Facilities Districts Engineering Services
qualifications from experienced public sector consulting firms and/or individuals, with demonstrated understanding and familiarity in CFDs, special assessment districts, to provide engineering services and infrastructure assessment.
The RFQ solicitation yielded one response, and after a thorough interdepartmental review of the proposal, the City selected Harris & Associates because of their demonstrated experience in facilities planning and infrastructure financing, cost of scope, and overall familiarity with the subject matter. Furthermore, Harris assisted the City on several projects in the past including Village One, Tivoli, Kiernan Business Park, and Fairview Village and has an underlying understanding of the City.
Under the City Manager’s authority, the City entered into an agreement with Harris & Associates on September 13, 2021, for a not to exceed amount of $45,000. Their duties also include evaluating proposed CFD formations and annexations, preparing cost estimates and improvement plans for needed infrastructure, and other duties related to land development engineering.
Since this time, there has been multiple developers who have expressed interest in developing in other areas in the City, which would require the work of Harris and Associates. Some of those areas and needs include:
Tentative map review
Tivoli Voluntary Land Dedication Program (VLDP) Assistance Acquisition and Shortfall Agreements
CFD Formation - Fairview Village
CFD Formation - Village One Triangle
CFD Formation & Infrastructure Financing Plan/Facilities Master Plan - Tivoli North Various annexations in existing CFDs - facilities cost estimate reviews Additionally, the Community and Economic Development Department is experiencing staff vacancy issues and does not have capacity to perform these functions.
In accordance with Modesto Municipal Code 8-3.204(a), Exceptions for Formal Bidding Requirements, this agreement is for professional services, and, therefore, exempt from the bid requirement; however, staff initially conducted an informal RFP process and recommends approval of the amendment with Harris & Associates.
FISCAL IMPACT:
To continue this project to implement the recommended improvements, the City requires a First Amendment to the agreement increasing the agreement amount by $205,000 from $45,000 to a total of $250,000.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This item has not been reviewed by Committee.

DESCRIPTION:
Consider a Resolution of Intention to form City of Modesto Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2024-2 (Fairview Village #2), an area bounded by Carpenter Road, Whitmore Avenue, and Hatch Road, and to designate certain parcels as future annexation areas for the CFD No. 2024-

STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the City Council’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan, Goal D:
Provide Safe, Efficient, and Reliable Infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance and sustainability efforts.
BACKGROUND:
In 1982, the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 1(Act) was adopted by the State of California as a method for financing infrastructure improvements and services associated with new developments. The Act allows infrastructure improvements and services to be funded through a special tax paid by property owners.
The Fairview Specific Plan area, approved by the City Council on December 12, 1995, encompasses approximately 360 acres and is bounded by Whitmore Avenue to the south, Carpenter Road to the west, and Hatch Road to the north. 1 Mello Roos Act of 1982 5533-53368

City Council, September 10, 2024
Formation of City of Modesto Community Facilities District No. 2024-2 (Fairview Village #2)
On October 28, 2003, the City Council adopted the resolution of intention to form City of Modesto Community Facilities District No. 2003-1 (Fairview Village) pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982.
On December 11, 2003, the City Council established City of Modesto Community Facilities District No. 2003-1 (Fairview Village) within the Fairview Specific Plan area through Resolution 2003-660.
On, December 20, 2021, the Planning Commission approved the Vesting Subdivision Map for Fairview Village Phase 1 Subdivision which consisted of 38.5 acres located east of Carpenter Road and north of Whitmore Avenue into 217 single-family residential lots and six landscape lots. More recently, on February 7, 2022, STL Company LLC, applied to form a new Community Facilities District (CFD).
DISCUSSION:
The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act requires that within 90 days after receiving a petition, the legislative body shall adopt a Resolution of Intention (ROI). The ROI is the first step in establishing a CFD.
While the boundaries of CFD No. 2024-2 will ultimately encompass the entire Fairview Village area, the initial boundaries will consist of 056-027-009 totaling 40.15 acres. STL Company LLC is the owner. Additional properties may annex to CFD No. 2024-2 as they are ready to develop.
The proposed boundary map also identifies the future annexation area and is provided as Attachment 3.
The Facilities to be financed by CFD No. 2024-2 include development of a storm drain basin, class 1 bike trail, road improvements, and canal crossings. The services to be financed by CFD No. 2024-2 encompass maintenance for landscaped lots, tree pruning, masonry wall maintenance, neighborhood park maintenance, storm drain basin maintenance and other services set forth in Attachment 1.
By Resolution No. 2020-223, the City Council previously approved participation in the BOLD Program, and this action is sufficient to approve participation in the BOLD program in partnership with California Municipal Finance Authority (CMFA). CMFA works with City Staff to ensure the program is meeting the City’s objectives. Prior to the October 22, 2024, Public Hearing, City Council meeting, the project proponents will have submitted the appropriate executed forms to the City, which include the Request, Consent and Waiver and the Landowner-Voter Ballot. The Request, Consent and Waiver form waives certain noticing and voting requirements, and requests the City execute and record a notice of special tax lien pertaining to the properties and record such notice within the official records of the County Recorder.
CFD No. 2024-2 will not include any bonding authority. The Rate and Method of Apportionment (RMA) that identifies the maximum special tax rates for the parcel types within CFD No. 2024-2, as well as a description of how the special taxes are calculated and collected, is attached as Attachment 2.
Only the Initial Parcel is requesting to be part of CFD No. 2024-2 and only the Initial Parcel will #11..

City Council, September 10, 2024
Formation of City of Modesto Community Facilities District No. 2024-2 (Fairview Village #2)
be subject to levy and collection of the special taxes, until additional properties are annexed to CFD No. 2024-2 in the future.
The Annual Maintenance Special Tax is only levied on a parcel after a building permit has been issued for that property (except for single family detached which commences after a final map is recorded). The One-Time Facilities Special Tax is levied after a building permit has been issued for that property. The maximum special tax rates for CFD No. 2024-2 are as follows:
Maximum Special Tax Rates Fiscal Year 2024-25
Special Tax Category
Maximum Annual
Maintenance Special Tax
Fiscal Year 2024-25
Maximum One-Time
Facilities Special Tax
Fiscal Year 2024-25
Forming Parcel $1,834,935 $191,716
The CFD Administrator will allocate the above maximum taxes to successor parcels as provided in the RMA.
On July 1, 2025, and on each July 1 thereafter, all figures shown in the table above shall be increased by the annual Escalation Factor. In any Fiscal Year, the annual Escalation Factor will be the greater of either, the percentage increase, if any, in the construction cost index for the San Francisco region for the prior twelve (12) month period as published in the Engineering News Record or other comparable source if the Engineering News Record is discontinued or otherwise not available, or four percent (4.0%).
At least thirty (30) days, and no more than sixty (60) days, following the date of the adoption of the ROI, the City Council will hold a public hearing and consider a Resolution of Formation. The public hearing is currently scheduled for October 22, 2024. The special tax may only be levied if approved by a two-thirds vote of the property owners within the boundaries at a special election currently scheduled for October 22, 2024. For future annexations the unanimous written consent of the property owners via a signed Unanimous Consent to Annex, Waiver and Declaration of Landowner will be obtained without the need for a public hearing or election.
The Owner is not seeking bonding authorization for CFD No. 2024-2, just for the authority for the One-Time Facilities Special Tax and an Annual Maintenance Special Tax. Concurrently, with the proceedings to form CFD No. 2024-2, the Owner is pursuing proceedings under the state-wide BOLD Program for the formation of a second community facilities district over the property to finance fees and additional facilities with the levy of an annual facilities special tax which will secure bonded indebtedness.
The California Municipal Finance Authority2 (CMFA) is a joint powers agency, of which the City is a member. CFMA administers the BOLD Program3. Under the BOLD Program, bonds are issued by a community facilities district formed by CMFA (BOLD CFD) under the Mello-Roos Act. The City Council previously approved participation in the BOLD program, and this prior action is sufficient to approve participation in the BOLD program in partnership with CMFA.
CMFA works in partnership with City staff to ensure the program is meeting the City’s 2 California Municipal Finance Authority

objectives. CMFA and its consultant team will form and approve the BOLD CFD CMFA will issue bonds on behalf of the BOLD CFD and levy and collect the special taxes each year.
Using the BOLD Program for bonds alleviates local agency staff time constraints.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The formation of CFD No. 2024-2 is paid by the applicant through a developer deposit. There is no General Fund impact.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This item was presented to the Economic Development Committee on August 5, 2024, and was recommended to forward to the City Council for approval.

9/10/2024/CEDD/EGarcia/Item # 3 2024-xxx
SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. The Community Facilities District is proposed to be established, with the initial parcels to be further designated as Improvement Area No. 1, and other property is proposed to be designated as future annexation area, under the terms of the Act. It is further proposed that the boundaries of the Community Facilities District and the boundaries of the future annexation area, shall be as depicted on the map of the proposed Community Facilities District which is on file with the City Clerk entitled “Map of Proposed Boundaries and Future Annexation Area of the City of Modesto Community Facilities District No. 2024-2 (Fairview #2).” The City Clerk is hereby directed to sign the original map of the Community Facilities District and record it with all proper endorsements thereon with the County Recorder of the County of Stanislaus within fifteen days after the adoption of this resolution, all as required by Section 3111 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California.
SECTION 3. The name of the proposed community facilities district shall be “City of Modesto Community Facilities District No. 2024-2 (Fairview #2).” SECTION 4. The Facilities and Services proposed to be provided within the Community Facilities District are services or facilities, as the case may be, which the City is authorized by law to construct, acquire, own and operate, or to provide. This City Council hereby finds and determines that the descriptions of the Facilities and Services contained herein is sufficiently informative to allow taxpayers within the proposed improvement areas within Community Facilities District to understand what the funds of the Community Facilities District may be used to pay for. The Incidental Expenses expected to be incurred include the cost of forming the #11..
- 187 -
9/10/2024/CEDD/EGarcia/Item # 4 2024-xxx
Community Facilities District and levying and collecting a special tax within the Community Facilities District.
The description of the Facilities and Services may be modified upon the annexation of property into the Community Facilities District, provided such modified description shall only apply to such annexed areas. Improvement areas may be designated when property is annexed into the Community Facilities District.
SECTION 6. Except where funds are otherwise available, it is the intention of the City Council to levy in accordance with procedures contained in the Act within the Community Facilities District (i) a one-time special tax sufficient to pay for the costs of financing the purchase, construction, expansion, modification, rehabilitation or improvement of a portion of the Facilities (the “One-Time Facilities Special Tax”), and (ii) an annual special tax sufficient to pay for the costs of financing the Services (the “Annual Maintenance Special Tax,” and, together with the Annual Facilities Special Tax and the One-Time Facilities Special Tax, the “Special Taxes”), and to pay for Incidental Expenses. Upon recordation of a notice of special tax lien pursuant to Section 3114.5 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California, a continuing lien to secure each levy of the Special Taxes shall attach to all nonexempt real property in the Community Facilities District, and when annexed, the Future Annexation Area, and that lien shall continue in force and effect until collection of the Special Taxes ceases.
The rate, method of apportionment and manner of collection of the special tax are described in detail in Appendix B attached hereto and incorporated herein as though set forth at length (the “Rate and Method”). Appendix B allows each landowner within the Community Facilities District to estimate the maximum amount that may be levied against each parcel. #11..

9/10/2024/CEDD/EGarcia/Item # 5 2024-xxx
If special taxes within the Community Facilities District are levied against any parcel used for private residential purposes to pay for public facilities, under no circumstances will such special tax be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel or parcels within the Community Facilities District, and for each annexed area or future improvement area from the Future Annexation Area, when annexed, by more than ten percent (10%) within the Community Facilities District or same improvement area, as applicable.
This City Council hereby determines the Rate and Method to be reasonable. The special tax is apportioned to each parcel on the basis of its land use and area pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act; and such special tax is not on or based upon the value or ownership of real property.
In the event that a portion of the property within the Community Facilities District shall become for any reason exempt, wholly or partially, from the levy of the special tax, this City Council shall, on behalf of the Community Facilities District, cause the levy to be increased, subject to the limitation of the maximum special tax for a parcel as set forth in the Rate and Method, to the extent necessary upon the remaining property within the Community Facilities District, and for each annexed area or future improvement area from the Future Annexation Area, when annexed, which is not delinquent or exempt in order to yield the special tax revenues required for the purposes described in this Section 5. The Annual Maintenance Special Tax shall be levied and collected in perpetuity. The One-Time Facilities Special Tax shall be levied and collected as provided in the Rate and Method.
SECTION 6. A public hearing (the “Hearing”) on the establishment of the Community Facilities District, the designation of the Future Annexation Area and the proposed Rate and Method shall be held on October 22, 2024, at 5:30 p.m., or as soon thereafter as practicable, at the Modesto City Council Chamber, 1010 Tenth Street, Modesto, CA 95353. Should this City Council #11..

determine to form the Community Facilities District, a special election will be held to authorize the levy of the special tax within the Community Facilities District in accordance with the procedures contained in Government Code Section 53326. If held, the proposed voting procedure at the election is expected to be a landowner vote with each landowner of record as of the close of the Hearing within the Community Facilities District having one vote for each acre of land or portion thereof owned within the Community Facilities District. Ballots for the special election may be distributed by mail or by personal service.
SECTION 7. At the time and place set forth above for the Hearing, any interested person, including all persons owning lands or registered to vote within the proposed Community Facilities District or the Future Annexation Area, may appear and be heard.
SECTION 8. Each officer of the City who is or will be responsible for providing the Facilities and Services within the proposed Community Facilities District, if it is established, and within the Future Annexation Area, when annexed, is hereby directed to study the proposed Community Facilities District and, at or before the time of the Hearing, file a report with this City Council containing a brief description of the Facilities and Services, as the case may be, which will in his or her opinion be required to meet adequately the needs of the proposed Community Facilities District and an estimate of the cost of providing those Facilities and Services and an estimate of the fair and reasonable cost of any Incidental Expenses to be incurred.
SECTION 9. The City may accept advances of funds or work-in-kind from any source, including, but not limited to, private persons or private entities, for any authorized purpose, including, but not limited to, paying any cost incurred by the City in creating the Community Facilities District. The City may enter into an agreement with the person or entity advancing the funds or work-in-kind, to repay all or a portion of the funds advanced, or to reimburse the person #11..

or entity for the value, or cost, whichever is less, of the work-in-kind, as determined by this City Council, with or without interest.
SECTION 10. Pursuant to Section 53340 of the Act, and except as provided in Section 53317.3 of the Act or in the Rate and Method, properties of entities of the state, federal, and local governments shall be exempt from the levy of the Special Taxes.
SECTION 11. The City Council hereby finds that the proposed Facilities and Services are necessary to meet increased demands put upon the City as a result of the new development within the proposed Community Facilities District, and when annexed, the Future Annexation Area.
SECTION 12. The City Clerk is hereby directed to publish a notice (the “Notice”) of the Hearing pursuant to Section 6061 of the Government Code in a newspaper of general circulation published in the area of the Community Facilities District. Such publication shall be completed at least seven days prior to the date of the Hearing. The City Clerk is further directed to mail a copy of the Notice to each of the landowners and registered voters, if any, within the boundaries of the Community Facilities District at least 15 days prior to the Hearing.

SECTION 13. The Future Annexation Area will be annexed into the Community Facilities District only at such time as the Community Facilities District receives unanimous written approval to be annexed from the owner or owners of each parcel or parcels of the portion of the Future Annexation Area proposed to be annexed at that time. Annexations to the Community Facilities District may include separate and distinct improvement areas, modified descriptions of #11..

If, after subdivision of an Original Parcel, a Successor Parcel is further subdivided, the Successor Parcel shall be treated as an Original Parcel for purposes of allocating Maximum Special Taxes pursuant to Section C.2a, C.2b, or C.2c, as appropriate.
After each reallocation of the Maximum Special Taxes upon subdivision or reconfiguration of Original Parcels, the sum of the Maximum Special Taxes assigned to Successor Parcels shall never be less than the Maximum Special Taxes assigned to the Original Parcels prior to such reallocation.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:
September 10, 2024
Date: August 13, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Toby Wells, Director of Engineering Services / City Engineer SUBJECT: Will Serve Letter and Outside Service Agreement for Water service for 1108 Reno Avenue (APN: 029-011-027)
CONTACT: Jaspreet Mangat, Senior Civil Engineer, [email protected] 209-577-5253
DESCRIPTION:
Consider approving a Will Serve Letter and Outside Service Agreement with Stump Family Land Company, LLC, A California Limited Liability Company, to connect to the City of Modesto’s existing water system for the property located at 1108 Reno Avenue (APN: 029-011-027). (Funding Sources: Water Fund)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the City’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan Goal D, ensure safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure.
BACKGROUND:
On May 22, 2012, by Resolution No. 2012-202, Council approved amending City Council Policy
5.001 relating to water service connections into unincorporated areas. On June 5, 2012, the City Council approved final adoption of Ordinance No. 3566-C.S. amending City of Modesto Municipal Code Section 11-1.05. These amendments included language which required that the City Manager, upon the recommendation of the Director responsible for utility system planning, request City Council approval for all extensions of water services into unincorporated areas.
On November 25, 2014, by Resolution No. 2014-472 Council approved amending City Council Policy 5.001. On December 9, 2014, the City Council approved adoption of Ordinance No. 3611- C.S. amending City of Modesto Municipal Code Section 11-1.05. Both amendments included language allowing the City Manager, upon the recommendation of the Director responsible for utility system planning, to approve extension of water services into the former Del Este Water Service Areas without City Council approval. However, the subject parcel is not located within the former Del Este Water Service Area and therefore requires City Council approval prior to allowing the new water connection.
