CITY OF ORANGE COVE
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
To: Orange Cove City Council
From: Samuel A. Escobar, City Manager
Subject: Better Roads, Safe Streets Campaign
Attachments: Resolution 2026-05
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff requests direction and consideration from the City Council to adopt Resolution 2026-05 in support of Better Roads, Safe Streets Campaign.
BACKGROUND:
The proposed Better Roads, Safe Streets initiative in Fresno County is a citizen-led effort developed in response to the anticipated expiration of Measure C in 2027 and longstanding concerns regarding roadway conditions, traffic safety, and infrastructure funding. Organized by a coalition of community stakeholders under the banner of Fresno County Residents for Better Roads and Safe Streets, the initiative was advanced through the voter signature process rather than through direct government action. In early 2026, proponents conducted a countywide signature campaign, collecting more than the required number of valid signatures to qualify the measure for potential placement on a future ballot. This process reflects California's citizen initiative framework, allowing residents to directly propose policy and funding mechanisms for voter consideration.
If approved by voters, the initiative would establish a new long-term transportation funding program, estimated to generate several billion dollars over approximately 30 years through a continuation of a local sales tax. Proposed allocations prioritize roadway maintenance and rehabilitation, with additional funding designated for public transit, safety improvements, and regional infrastructure projects. The measure is intended to address immediate maintenance backlogs while also supporting broader mobility and safety goals across Fresno County. Its advancement occurs within a broader policy context that includes competing proposals and ongoing debate regarding funding priorities, particularly the balance between roadway investment and alternative transportation modes.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None know of.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST:
None.

THE CITY OF ORNAGE COVE, COUNTY OF FRESNO
RESOLUTION NO. 2026-05
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ORNAGE COVE IN SUPPORT
OF THE BETTER ROADS, SAFE STREETS, TRANSPORTATION MEASURE WHEREAS, safe, reliable, and well-maintained local transportation infrastructure is fundamental to the public health, safety, economic vitality, and overall quality of life of residents in Fresno County, particularly in small and rural communities; and WHEREAS, local streets, neighborhood roads, sidewalks, bike paths, and transit facilities are the infrastructure most directly used by residents every day-connecting families to schools, jobs, healthcare, and essential services-yet many of these assets are aging, underfunded, and in urgent need of repair; and WHEREAS, unsafe local road conditions disproportionately impact children, seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income residents, underscoring the need for intentional investments in Safe Routes to Schools, pedestrian safety, traffic calming, and improved access to public transit; and
WHEREAS, locally controlled transportation funding is essential to ensuring that revenues generated within Fresno County are reinvested back into the communities that rely on them, rather than diverted primarily toward state-owned highways or infrastructure that does not directly serve local jurisdiction needs; and WHEREAS, the Better Roads, Safe Streets campaign is a broad, community-led coalition working collaboratively with cities, residents, labor, business, and community organizations to develop a transportation investment plan that reflects local priorities, equity, and long-term sustainability; and
WHEREAS, the Fresno County Transportation Improvement Act proposes the continuation of an existing half-cent transportation sales tax for 30 years-without increasing the current tax rate—generating an estimated $7.4 billion dedicated to repairing local roads, improving transit reliability, enhancing walking and bicycling safety, expanding Safe Routes to Schools, and supporting transportation improvements across Fresno County; and
WHEREAS, the proposed plan priorities local street and road maintenance first, while also strengthening public transit, improving countywide connectivity, and ensuring transportation investments equitably serve both urban and rural communities; and WHEREAS, the proposed plan emphasizes strong local control, requiring that funds be allocated and expended in accordance with voter-approved categories and local project lists, supported by clear performance metrics, measurable outcomes, and regular public reporting to track progress and effectiveness; and WHEREAS, robust and independent oversight mechanisms-including citizen oversight, fiscal audits, and transparency requirements-are critical to ensuring that all transportation revenues are used exactly as voters intend, safeguarding public trust and accountability; and
WHEREAS, the 30-year measure includes formal evaluations at each 10-year interval to assess whether transportation investments are meeting identified local and countywide needs, to measure performance against adopted outcomes, and to evaluate and respond to changing transportation demands identified by cities and local jurisdictions, while remaining consistent with voter-approved intent; and WHEREAS, sustained, locally directed transportation investment is essential to improving emergency response times, reducing traffic injuries and fatalities, supporting economic development, and ensuring safe, accessible mobility for all residents of Fresno County.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Orange Cove hereby supports the Better Roads, Safe Streets campaign and its proposed Fresno County Transportation Improvement Act, and grants use of the official city name for the effort, and those councilmembers who vote in support, and affirms its commitment to placing local communities, neighborhood safety, children's routes to school, strong local control, measurable outcomes, meaningful oversight, and adaptive long-term planning at the center of Fresno County's transportation investments.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
TO: Orange Cove City Council
FROM: Samuel A. Escobar, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approve Model 3 - Residential Special Tax per Unit; Non- Residential/ Undeveloped: Special Tax Rate per Acre
ATTACHMENTS: City of Orange Cove Parcel Tax Memo
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council to approve Model 3 - Residential Special Tax per Unit; Non- Residential/ Undeveloped: Special Tax Rate per Acre that would allow for proportionality among quantity of residential units as well as Non- Residential and Undeveloped Acreage quantities.
BACKGROUND:
The City is evaluating long-term and sustainable funding mechanisms to support public facilities and services. On January 14, 2026, the council agreed to move forward with a parcel tax.
Today, NBS has provided three different Special Tax Modeling Scenarios to achieve the City's revenue target. The distinct three models include various special tax rates and estimated revenues through flat rates, per acre, and per unit. After reviewing models one (1) through three (3) with City staff, Model 3 most closely aligns with the desired outcomes and spread of funding sources and is proposed as the model to be utilized in the special tax measure.
The Measure will cover the City-wide boundaries and shall include any future property annexed into the City. The City proposes the following regarding the Special Parcel Tax:
• Levied in perpetuity, or until otherwise ended by voters • An annual escalator of 3%
• No provision for discounts or exemptions
CONFLICT OF INTEREST:
None.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If model 3 of the parcel tax is approved and adopted by voters, then the City would receive an estimated $460,907.20 in revenue during its first year implemented.

DATE: April 16, 2026
SUBJECT: Special Tax Modeling Scenarios
Purpose
The City of Orange Cove (the "City") has requested an evaluation of scenarios for a special tax measure within its boundary to: (1) supplement funding for the annual operations and maintenance of various City- provided services, including police services, parks operations and maintenance, and recreation activities and services. This memorandum summarizes the various options for special tax rates based on various scenarios, as described herein.

NBS
Prior Measure O Effort
In March 2024, the City presented a renewal measure to fund police and fire services in Orange Cove that was defeated by a margin of only 0.25%. The measure was slated to provide $264,000 of funding annually with 20% of funding supporting fire and 80% supporting police. As the measure was unsuccessful, the funding for those services did not materialize.
The measure presented in this analysis reflects only public safety services and recreation services at the current budget targets proposed for 2027/28.
City of Orange Cove Property Data
Based on the latest Fresno County Assessor's data from July 2025, there is a total of 1,720 parcels within the City that would be Taxable, and an additional 57 parcels that would be Exempt (generally publicly owned parcels, utilities, common areas, and other parcels with no taxable assessed value or no land value).
Therefore, we provide a summary of the property data in the following table showing the Taxable Status/Land use, total parcels, total units, total acreage, and total building square feet (BSF) for all parcels in the City.

TOTALS 1,777 2,572 939 3,642,891
Special Tax Modeling
The following tables show the various special tax rates and estimated revenue generated for three different special tax models, based upon the revenue target described above. Where applicable, we also show the average special tax rate on Single Family Residential property.
Model 1 - Flat Special Tax Rate per Taxable Parcel
Property Type Per Parcel Count Rate Total
Single Family Residential Parcel 1,421 $268.72 $ 381,851.12 Multi-Family Residential Parcel 61 268.72 16,391.92

Undeveloped Parcel 130 268.72 34,933.60
TOTALS 1,720 $462,198.40
The Flat Special Tax Rate model applies a standard rate to all parcel types regardless of property type, number of units, or size of parcel.

Undeveloped Acre 106.14 784.08 83,221.47
TOTALS 587.69 $460,797.54
The Flat Special Tax Rate per Acre model applies a standard rate to all parcel types based on the size of the property, regardless of property type. Average annual Single Family Residential special tax rate is $167.39 for this model.
Model 3 -Residential Special Tax per Unit; Non-Residential/Undeveloped: Special Tax Rate per Acre The table below represents the calculated special tax rate model for the City's special tax measure.
Unit/Acre
Property Type Per Total Rate Total
Single Family Residential Unit 1,422 $125.00 $ 177,750.00 Multi-Family Residential Unit 1,150 140.00 161,000.00
Non-Residential Acre 99.63 800.00 79,701.60
Undeveloped Acre 106.14 400.00 42,455.60
TOTALS $ 460,907.20
The Residential Special Tax per Unit and Non-Residential/Undeveloped Special Tax Rate per Acre model applies a rate per property type. This model allows for proportionality among quantity of residential units as well as Non-Residential and Undeveloped acreage quantities.
After reviewing models one (1) through three (3) with City staff, Model 3 most closely aligns with the desired outcomes and spread of funding sources and is proposed as the model to be utilized in the special tax measure.
Top Owners
As a result of the Model 3 calculated special tax rates and total special tax amounts per parcel, the table below indicates the top ten property owners in proportion to the proposed share of the special tax.

Special Parcel Tax Measure
The Measure will cover the City-wide boundaries and shall be adopted if approved by 2/3 supermajority of registered voters. The City proposes the following regarding the Special Parcel Tax:
• Levied in perpetuity, or until otherwise ended by voters • An annual escalator of 3%
• No provision for discounts or exemptions
Summary and Next Steps
The City should review the modeling outcomes with City Council. If approved, NBS will assist the City in drafting/reviewing the special tax measure language and resolution of intent to consolidate the election and present the measure, pursuant to CA Government Code 50077. The resolution should be adopted by City Council no less than 110 days prior to the and submitted to Fresno County no less than 100 days prior to the November 2026 election respectively.
We look forward to discussing these revenue scenarios and the modeling outcomes. Please contact me with any questions or comments; I can be reached at 800.676.7516 or via email at [email protected].

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
To: Orange Cove City Council
From: Joe Estrada, Public Works Director
Subject: Request for City Council Direction and Consideration on Sidewalk Repair and Maintenance in the Public Right-of-Way Responsibility for Alley Maintenance in the Public Right-of Way Attachments: Municipal Codes
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff requests City Council direction and consideration for sidewalk repair and maintenance within the public right-of-way and clarify associated liability for injury-related costs arising from sidewalk defects.
Responsibility for alley maintenance in the public right-of-way.
BACKGROUND:
Sidewalk conditions throughout the community, particularly those impacted by tree root intrusions, pose increasing concerns related to public safety, accessibility, and fiscal responsibility. At present, there appears to be a need for clearer policy direction regarding who is responsible for repair obligations and associated liability when injuries occur.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Option 1: Adoption of Municipal Code Aligning with State Law The City could adopt a municipal code consistent with California Streets and Highways Code Section 5610. Under this approach:
• Adjacent property owners would be responsible for the repair and maintenance of sidewalks, including damage caused by tree roots.
• Property owners would also assume liability for injuries resulting from sidewalk defects.
Option 2: Cost-Sharing and City-Managed Repairs
Alternatively, the city could implement a shared responsibility model, whereby:
• The city and adjacent property owners split the cost of sidewalk repairs. • The city assumes a more active role by hiring and managing licensed contractors to perform the repair work.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Both approaches present advantages and challenges regarding fairness, fiscal impact, risk management, and administrative feasibility. Reviewing municipal codes and practices from other cities may provide useful insight into effective models and best practices.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST:
None.

Chapter 12.31 SIDEWALK MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
12.31.010 Purpose and Findings.
The purpose of this Section is to impose upon property owners the affirmative duty to repair and maintain the sidewalk area adjoining their property in a safe and non-dangerous condition.
This duty runs to and in favor of members of the public using the sidewalk area.
12.31.020 Duty to Maintain Sidewalk.
A. Owner's Responsibility. Except as provided in subsection B of this section, the owner of property which fronts on sidewalk area shall maintain and repair the sidewalk area in a reasonably safe condition, at the owner's expense. If the owner makes an alteration to the sidewalk, the Owner must obtain an
encroachment permit from the City prior to the work and use ordinary care in making the alteration and in keeping the altered portion of the sidewalk in a reasonably safe condition.
The provisions of Chapter 22 of Part 3 of Division 7 of the California Streets and Highways Code (Sections 5600 through 5630 inclusive), as they now exist or may hereafter be amended, are adopted as the procedure governing the maintenance and repair of sidewalks, driveways, and driveway approaches in the City. For the purposes of this Chapter, "sidewalk" shall have the same meaning as defined in Section 5600 of the California Streets and Highways Code, and shall also include a "driveway" and a "driveway approach."
It is unlawful for any person, firm or corporation owning any building, lot or premises in the City, fronting on any portion of an improved street or way where a sidewalk is laid to allow any portion of such sidewalk in front of such building, lot, or premises to be out of repair, or to become, be or remain defective, or to become, be or remain dangerous to the users thereof for any reason. Such person, firm or corporation must at all times keep each such sidewalk in such condition that it will not endanger persons or property passing thereon, will not interfere with public convenience in the use thereof, or be or remain an obstruction or impediment to normal, customary and usual pedestrian or vehicular traffic. Such property owner shall be responsible for all maintenance and repairs, including that required to repair damage caused by tree roots, needed to keep the sidewalk improvements in a safe condition.
The Owner has the primary and exclusive duty to perform such maintenance and repair, whether or not notified by the City and whether or not the City has performed similar maintenance in the past. The City may notify the Owner when the sidewalk is out of repair, in conformance with California Streets and Highways Code sections 5610 and following.
The Owner shall comply with City of Martinez Resolution 062-14 requiring the preservation of sidewalk stamps commemorating the government work plan date or other significant information related to the time of the original construction to the maximum extent practicable.
B. Exceptions. An adjacent property owner is not responsible for sidewalk damage and repair if
1. The damage is caused by a utility structure, such as a PG&E structure, telephone pole or structure, storm drain, cable television structure, fire hydrant, or similar utility
structure, and the property owner has notified both the City and the appropriate utility company of any obvious damage or defects in the sidewalk.
2. Another entity or individual, such as a homeowner's
association, commercial property association, or other
individual or entity, has entered into a written agreement or covenant with the property owner and the City pursuant to which such other individual or entity assumes responsibility for sidewalk damage and repair.
2 12.31.030 Liability of Owner.
The owner required by Section 12.31.020 to maintain and repair the sidewalk area shall owe a duty to members of the public to keep and maintain the sidewalk area free from sidewalk defects and in safe and non-dangerous condition. If, as a result of the failure of any owner to maintain the sidewalk area in a non- dangerous condition as required by Section 12.31.020, any person suffers injury or damage to person or property, the owner shall be liable to such person for the resulting damages or injury.
12.31.040 Persons in Possession.
If the owner is not the person in possession of the property, then the responsibilities, duties and liabilities imposed by this chapter are also imposed on the person in possession of the property.
12.31.050 Joint Owners.
If more than one party is an owner, then the responsibilities, duties and liabilities established by this Chapter are joint and several as to each party.
12.31.060 Assessments on Property.
If the owner fails to maintain or make repairs to the sidewalk area after notice is provided pursuant to Chapter 22 of Part 3 of Division 7 of the California Streets and Highways Code (Sections 5600 through 5630 inclusive), then the City may undertake such maintenance and repairs and confirm and collect assessments for the costs and expenses of such maintenance and repair as set forth in California Streets and Highways Code Sections 5616 through 5630 including but not limited to placing a lien on owner's property, having the assessment placed on the property tax rolls or any other method of collection legally available to the City.
SECTION 2. CEQA. The adoption hereof is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301 (Existing Facilities), 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) and 15061 (b) (3) in that the ordinance calls only for the repair or replacement of existing sidewalks that have become damaged or are in need of repair. No new facilities are contemplated by or required to be constructed as a result of the adoption of this ordinance. It therefore be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility that the adoption of this ordinance may have a 3 SECTION 3. Severability.

circumstance and, to that end, the provisions hereof are severable.
SECTION 4. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect sixty (60) days after adoption as provided by Government Code Section 36937.
