City Manager Tree introduced the item, and Acting Engineering and Project Management Director Clayton Dignam presented the staff report.

Vice Mayor McKervey expressed disappointment at the higher-than-expected cost but indicated his support for moving forward, noting that further delay would only increase costs. He confirmed that the addition of EV charging infrastructure did not materially contribute to the cost increase.

Council Member Green concurred that delay would only increase costs.

Council Member Beltran attributed the cost increase to waterway-related engineering adjustments and inflation, and agreed that continued delay was not advisable.

Council Member Rivas commended City Manager Tree for bringing the matter forward and affirmed support for the project.

COUNCIL ACTION: MOVED by Mayor Meister, SECONDED by Council Member Beltran that the City Council award the Main Street Parking Lot Project to MAC General Engineering in the amount of $1,674,950.95, authorize a 10 percent construction contingency and 10 percent for construction management, surveying, inspection, and quality control services, and authorize an appropriation of $809,940.95 in Measure I funds to fully fund the project.

5. AUTHORIZATION TO ISSUE A REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR SOLID WASTE

SERVICES
Recommendation: That the City Council:

1. Amend the prior authorization approved on April 21, 2026, to allow staff to issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for solid waste services; and

2. Authorize staff to prepare and advertise the RFQ and negotiate with the highest-ranked firm regarding a potential franchise agreement, subject to final City Council approval, with participation from the Mayor and Vice Mayor.

City Manager Tree introduced the item and presented the staff report.

Council Member Beltran explained that he pulled this item primarily for public transparency.

He noted the change in format from a Request for Proposals (RFP) to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ), and raised concerns about the pace of the process. He asked City Manager Tree to clarify the earlier tour given to one prospective vendor and to confirm that all interested firms would have equal access.

City Manager Tree explained that the tour originated from an initial contact made at the League of California Cities conference. He confirmed that other vendors who had since expressed interest following the agenda posting would also be welcomed for tours, and that under a formal RFP process, a single official tour date with documented questions and responses would be required to ensure a level playing field. He described the RFQ as a preliminary, exploratory step to identify qualified firms before investing significant staff or vendor resources in a full RFP process.

Council Member Beltran confirmed his understanding that all council members would continue to have input before any agreement was negotiated, and that the item would return with status updates. He framed his decision to pull the item as an effort to keep the public informed, emphasizing that this was not a rushed decision.

Vice Mayor McKervey reiterated that the Council voted 5-0 to pursue the RFQ route, and that a key driver was the state's clean fleet mandate requiring electrification of refuse vehicles. He noted that cities may obtain an exemption from that mandate if they pursue an alternative service model, a significant factor in the urgency. He also noted that this was at a minimum the third time the city had explored this option over the years.

Council Member Rivas confirmed for the public record that no decisions had been made, no commitments had been issued, and no consultants had been engaged.

COUNCIL ACTION: MOVED by Council Member Beltran, SECONDED by Council Member Green that the City Council authorize issuance of a Request for Qualifications for solid waste services per staff recommendations. The motion carried unanimously.

Documentation: M.O. 21-050526
Disposition: Approved.

6. AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR THE CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS RENOVATION

PROJECT AND AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL FUNDING
Recommendation: That the City Council:

1. Award the City Council Chambers Renovation Project to CORE Business Interiors in the amount of $52,581.00;

2. Authorize a 10% contingency in the amount of $5,258.10, for a total project authorization of $57,839.10;

3. Authorize the reallocation of an additional $10,000 from the City Hall Fitness Center Upgrade Project to the City Council Chambers Renovation Project to complete the project and cover any unforeseen expenses; and

4. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents necessary to implement the project, subject to approval by the City Attorney.

City Manager Tree introduced the item and presented the staff report.

Council Member Beltran pulled this item due to concerns about the funding source language referencing a "City Hall Fitness Fund" and because he characterized the renovation as a "want, not a need," given current budget constraints. He suggested exploring whether the work, described as primarily fascia and shelving removal, could be accomplished through a vocational program at a local

high school or college, potentially bringing the cost below the prevailing wage threshold, estimated at $25,000 for wholly new projects. He noted this was the first time he had reviewed the item and asked whether it was time-sensitive.

Project Manager Sarah Weaver clarified the prevailing wage thresholds and cautioned that a project cannot be artificially divided to avoid those requirements; any split must reflect genuinely separate and distinctly timed work.

City Manager Tree suggested that city staff could perform some preparatory work, such as shelf removal, to reduce the contracted scope.

Council Member Rivas expressed support for the renovation, noting that the chambers had not been updated in several decades and that the city's public-facing image, including its YouTube presence, warranted investment.

Council Member Green stated that in light of current fiscal pressures, the item could wait, noting that the chambers were functional as-is.

Vice Mayor McKervey supported the council chambers renovation, noting it is a relatively minor cost compared to the City’s larger financial obligations. He encouraged cost-saving measures, expressed opposition to prevailing wage, and suggested exploring creative approaches.

Mayor Meister framed the renovation as part of the city's celebration of the 250th anniversary of American history, noting the planned installation of the national motto "E Pluribus Unum" as a fitting tribute. He stated the project was funded and moved to approve it, with direction to staff to negotiate a lower cost where possible.

COUNCIL ACTION: MOVED by Mayor Meister, SECONDED by Council Member Rivas, that the City Council award the contract for the City Council Chambers Renovation Project to CORE Business Interiors in the amount of $52,581.00, authorize a total project amount of $57,839.10, including contingency, with direction to staff to explore cost reductions through negotiation and city labor.

Item No. 3.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MAY 19, 2026
SUBJECT: Authorization to Purchase Water Shares and Surface Water for Groundwater Recharge Operations
SOURCE: Public Works
COMMENT: Staff annually requests authorization to purchase water shares or surface water for groundwater recharge operations. The City Council has historically approved the purchase of surface water and/or water shares, when available, from surrounding water entities for groundwater recharge purposes.

Groundwater recharge is an important component of the City’s long-term water supply strategy and helps improve groundwater sustainability, increase water reliability, and support future community water demands during drought and dry-year conditions. Expanding the City’s water holdings and recharge capabilities remains an important long-term strategy to support future growth, water reliability, and sustainable groundwater management.

The City currently owns 520 shares of Pioneer Water Company (PWC), and it has been the City Council’s direction to continue increasing the City’s water holdings and water rights when opportunities become available.

Because water availability and water share opportunities are often limited and time-sensitive, staff are requesting authorization flexibility to allow the City Manager, or his or her designee, to respond quickly when opportunities become available. If approved, the City Manager, or his or her designee, would be authorized to submit bids for available water shares and negotiate the purchase of surface water from local irrigation districts or other water entities with available water supplies for groundwater recharge purposes.

Funding for the purchase of water shares or surface water has been included within the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Capital Improvement Program. Staff is requesting authorization for expenditures not to exceed $1,500,000 during Fiscal Year 2026/2027.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to purchase water shares or surface water during Fiscal Year Item No. 3.
2026/2027 in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000 as budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Capital Improvement Program.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MAY 19, 2026
SUBJECT: Authorization to Distribute a Request for Proposals for the Airport Electrical Improvement Project
SOURCE: Transportation
COMMENT: The Porterville Municipal Airport continues to pursue infrastructure improvements necessary to maintain compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards and enhance the safety, reliability, and efficiency of airport operations. The proposed Airfield Electrical Improvement Project will modernize and upgrade critical airfield electrical infrastructure throughout the airport.

The proposed improvements are critical to maintaining safe nighttime airfield operations, improving pilot visibility, reducing maintenance issues, and ensuring continued compliance with current FAA airfield electrical standards.

Proposed improvements include:
• Replacement and upgrade of existing runway lighting systems; • Replacement and upgrade of taxiway lighting systems;
• Installation of new electrical conductors;
• Upgrades to airport hangar lighting systems; and
• Modernization of airport electrical vault equipment.

These improvements are intended to improve airfield visibility, operational reliability, safety, and energy efficiency while bringing the airport electrical system into compliance with current FAA standards and requirements.

The City has submitted an application to the Federal Aviation Administration under the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) for federal assistance for the construction phase of the Airfield Electrical Improvement Project. The project represents a significant opportunity to leverage federal and state aviation funding sources to modernize critical airport infrastructure while minimizing local financial impacts.

Based on preliminary engineering estimates, the project funding is anticipated Item No. 5.
as follows:

FAA Airport Improvement Program Grant - $541,500
Caltrans Division of Aeronautics - $27,075
Local Match (Airport Operating Fund) - $141,125
Total Estimated Construction Cost - $710,000
The City’s required local contribution is currently estimated at approximately $168,500; however, staff will pursue supplemental funding assistance through the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Division of Aeronautics for up to 5% of the federal grant amount, or approximately $27,075, which would reduce the City’s estimated local contribution to approximately $141,125.

Approval of the recommended action will allow staff to proceed with the FAA grant application process and initiate the competitive solicitation process for the Airfield Electrical Improvement Project.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council authorize staff to distribute a Request for Proposals for the Airfield Electrical Improvement Project and authorize the City Manager, or his or her designee, to take all necessary actions associated with the grant application and bidding process.

PORTERVILLE WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY

NITROGEN COMPLIANCE UPGRADE

SCOPE OF WORK
Background
The City of Porterville (City) owns and operates a wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) that has a rated treatment capacity of .
million gallons per day (mgd). The WWTF consists of bar screens, influent pump station, grit removal, two parallel biological treatment trains, two dissolved air flotation thickeners, four anaerobic digesters, and a screw press. One treatment train consists of two claerators (primary clarifiers and aeration basins within the same structure), and two secondary clarifiers. The second treatment train consists of two primary clarifiers, two aeration basins, and two secondary clarifiers. Secondary effluent is pumped to the City-owned reclamation area, where it is used to irrigate fodder crops. During the non-irrigation season, or when effluent flows exceed irrigation demands, effluent is discharged to percolation ponds. Dewatered biosolids are hauled to the reclamation area and land applied.

In May *
*
, the City received a Notice to Comply with the Nitrate Control Program (NCP) from the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board), which requires that effluent dischargers in Priority 1 basins must cease causing or contributing to the increase of nitrate concentrations above the Basin Plan Water Quality Objectives of 1
mg/L in the shallow groundwater. In May *
*1, the City submitted to
the Regional Board a Nitrate Assessment Report, which committed to complying with the NCP by *

67. Furthermore, the City has traditionally depended on groundwater from the Tule subbasin, which has been classified by the Department of Water Resources (DWR) as in critical overdraft. The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) involves establishing a framework to sustainably manage groundwater resources.

The purpose of this project is to develop WWTF upgrade options for the City to consider that will achieve the effluent discharge compliance as required by the NCP. Additionally, this project will include a recycled water feasibility study that builds upon the analysis conducted as part of the previous recycled water feasibility study completed by Carollo in *

19. The study will evaluate the recycled water demands and marketability within the area and present options for the City to consider as part of their WWTF upgrade project. Recycled water supply will consider additional wastewater treatment technologies needed to meet Title ** standards, in addition to compliance with the NCP.

The scope of this project and associated fee includes carrying the recommended treatment alternative into a detailed design project that is competitively bid for construction. However, Carollo will engage the City stakeholders throughout the project to solicit input and confirm consensus for the recommended alternative before deciding to move forward into design.

Project Assumptions
The following assumptions listed below are included in this scope of work. The term Consultant shall represent Carollo Engineers, inc. and its subconsultants associated with this scope of work.

Attachment A

1. The City shall furnish the Consultant available studies, reports and other data pertinent to Consultant's services; obtain or authorize Consultant to obtain or provide additional reports and data as required; furnish to Consultant services of others required for the performance of Consultant's services hereunder, and Consultant shall be entitled to use and reasonably rely upon all such information and services provided by City or others in performing Consultant's services under this Agreement.
*. The City shall arrange for access to and make all provisions for Consultant to enter upon public and private property as required for Consultant to perform services hereunder.

6. In providing opinions of cost, financial analyses, economic feasibility projections, schedules, and quantity and/or quality estimates for potential projects, Consultant has no control over cost or price of labor and material; unknown or latent conditions of existing equipment or structures that may affect operation and maintenance costs; competitive bidding procedures and market conditions; time or quality of performance of third parties; quality, type, management, or direction of operating personnel; the incoming water quality and/or quantity; the way City’s plant(s) and/or associated processes are operated and/or maintained; and other economic and operational factors that may materially affect the ultimate project elements, including, but not limited to, cost or schedule.

Therefore, Consultant makes no warranty that City’s actual project costs, financial aspects, economic feasibility, schedules, and/or quantities or quality realized will not vary from Consultant’s opinions, analyses, projections, or estimates.
@. Specific WWTF upgrades will be recommended as a result of the findings from the existing plant evaluation and the alternatives analysis. For the purpose of scoping the detailed design task, it is assumed that the WWTF upgrade will consist of primary clarifiers, aeration basins, secondary clarifiers, a RAS/WAS pump station, a blower building, electrical building, a digester, and solids handling improvements. It is assumed the project does not include tertiary treatment for unrestricted reuse. Following the development of the WWTF upgrade recommendations, it is advised to revisit the scope and fee associated with detailed design and modify as necessary.

A. Findings of the City’s water, sewer, and storm water integrated master plan will be considered while completing the re-evaluation and condition assessment as part of this project. There is a likelihood that additional processes will need to be included in the WWTF upgrade that were not originally included in the integrated master plan.

B. The fee and labor rates are appended to the scope.

2.0 Evaluation of Existing Plant

2.1 Flows and Loads Analysis
Carollo will review background documentation, wastewater process data, reports, and other pertinent information relative to the successful completion of the project. Background information includes up to date City-wide planning development information and assumptions that could impact the volume and quality of raw wastewater influent into the WWTF.

Carollo will summarize existing wastewater flows and loads based on recent historical data provided by the City. The summary will include a range of conditions, including average dry weather, max month, and peak flows and loads.

Dependent on the availability of certain effluent data, additional sampling may be requested to support the analysis. If necessary, Carollo will develop a two-week sampling plan that will be conducted by the City operations staff at the WWTF.

Carollo will work with the City to update the growth assumptions from the Integrated Master Plan. Flow and load projections will consider population growth in the service area and water conservation efforts. Carollo will work closely with City staff to define and bracket the planning assumptions that will form the basis for the wastewater projections.

Carollo will use the projected flows to develop projected influent loadings to the wastewater treatment plant based on assumed wastewater concentrations developed from the data analysis.

Carollo will host a workshop with the City and plant staff to review the data analysis and confirm projection assumptions and develop consensus on flow and load conditions that will serve as the basis for evaluating future plant configurations. Findings from the data analysis and flow projections will be summarized in a technical memorandum.

Deliverables
• Workshop slides and meeting minutes
• Existing and Future Flow and Load Tech Memo
Assumptions
• City will provide planning documents and guidance on population projections that will serve as the basis for estimating future flow and load.
• Projection rates will not deviate from the integrated master plan assumptions unless directed by the City.

2.2 Capacity and Performance Evaluation
Carollo will determine capacity and performance for each unit process. Unit processes that do not meet the future capacity requirements will be identified and included in the recommendations for the WWTF upgrade project.

The effort will include a capacity evaluation of the unit processes, which include influent screening, influent pump station, grit removal, primary clarifiers, aeration basins, secondary clarifiers, blowers, RAS/WAS pumping, DAFTs, digesters, dewatering, effluent pump station, effluent disposal (recreation area and percolation ponds), and biosolids land application recreation area.

The performance of the plant will consider compliance with the WWTF’s existing and future regulatory requirements. Carollo will include a discussion of the regulatory landscape that may affect the WWTF within the planning horizon of the plant expansion project.

In order to support the capacity and performance evaluation, Carollo will develop a plant-wide steady-state biological process model of the WWTP using a process modeling simulation software package (e.g., BioWin).

The model will be used to assess solids accumulation and reduction through the plant process, predict effluent concentrations, and evaluate the capacity of the secondary and solids handing facilities.

Carollo will conduct a workshop with the City to review the capacity and performance evaluation for each process, model results, and regulatory drivers. Findings will be summarized in a technical memorandum.

Deliverables
• Workshop slides and meeting minutes
• Draft and Final Capacity and Performance Evaluation Tech Memo • Tech Memo comment response log
Assumptions
• City will conduct any additional sampling as directed by Carollo that is deemed necessary to develop a calibrated biological process model

2.3 Condition Assessment
Carollo will perform a visual condition assessment of major above-ground assets including structural, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation and controls infrastructure at the WWTF. The condition assessment will prioritize the evaluation of assets deemed critical or in need of repair based on discussions with wastewater facility staff. The evaluation will build upon the recommendations for rehabilitation and replacement that were included in the Integrated Master Plan to identify what assets should be included in the WWTF upgrade project.

Deliverables
• Condition Assessment Technical Memo

3.0 Alternatives Analysis

3.1 Alternatives Analysis
The objectives of the WWTF upgrade will be defined and used as the basis for screening the universe of alternatives. Drivers may include regulatory requirements, capacity needs, and improvements to address performance or reliability deficiencies of the existing plant. A maximum of three short listed alternatives will be carried forward into the detailed alternatives analysis. The short list of alternatives will be confirmed with City staff and presented to City Council before proceeding with the alternatives analysis.

Alternatives analysis will include development of a process flow diagram and preliminary site plan, life cycle cost analysis, and non-financial evaluation. The calibrated biological process model used to determine the capacity of the existing plant will be modified to reflect the proposed treatment configuration. The model will be used to determine approximate sizing of the biological treatment reactors, predict oxygen demands, which can be used to determine air flow rates and blower sizes, and predict effluent quality under various operating configurations.

Carollo will work with equipment manufacturers to receive budgetary proposals for major equipment, which will be used to develop site layouts and inform capital cost estimates. Capital costs and annual operations and maintenance (O&M) costs will be estimated for each alternative to determine * year life cycle costs.

The cost estimates are intended to be relative comparisons between alternatives in order to inform the selection of a recommended treatment process. A non-financial evaluation will include criteria relevant to City objectives, such as technology maturity, ease of O&M, and flexibility for future recycled water (RW) objectives. The non-financial evaluation will include a qualitative comparison of alternatives. The financial and non-financial evaluations will be used to inform the recommended treatment configuration. A workshop will be held with City staff to present the findings from the analysis and solicit feedback in order to determine the recommended alternative. Following input from City staff, the findings and recommendations will be presented to City Council before moving forward.

3.2 Recycled Water Feasibility Analysis
Carollo will build upon the recycled water study completed as part of the integrated master plans and reevaluate the current recycled water landscape as described below.

Carollo will conduct an evaluation on the water quality and quantity with respect to recycled water (RW) objectives. Water quality analysis will differ from biological or regulatory treatment objectives in that it will also consider salts and minerals. High salts and minerals, which are not removed through traditional biological wastewater treatment processes, could limit the end-uses available for RW. If there is insufficient data, Carollo will develop a special sampling plan on the wastewater that will be conducted by City operations staff at the WWTF. Wastewater flows available for RW end-uses will be defined from the flow projections established for this project and compared to the water balance developed by others as part of the Groundwater Sustainability Plan.

Carollo will develop a reuse alternatives analysis that identifies potential approaches to using recycled water within the City service area or nearby end-uses. The reuse approaches considered may include :
• Traditional non-potable reuse for groundwater recharge, restricted agricultural irrigation, landscape irrigation or other on City owned land (i.e. Title ** tertiary non-potable water distributed through purple pipe infrastructure)
• Discharge into a canal of a nearby irrigation district in exchange for surface water rights that could be percolated upgradient to supplement City groundwater supplies • Indirect potable reuse (IPR) via spreading or injection to supplement City groundwater supplies • Direct potable reuse (DPR) to supplement City water supply Carollo will coordinate with up to four irrigation districts in the area to determine the feasibility, quantity, and quality of reuse within their respective service areas. For each reuse concept identified, Carollo will estimate the water supply potential and document the qualitative benefits and challenges. In addition, Carollo will document relevant information about order of magnitude costs based on our experience with similar project types. Carollo will conduct an initial screening, with input from the City, to identify three alternatives that will be carried forward into detailed analysis.

Carollo will conduct more detailed analysis on the three alternatives by developing the following information for each:
• Treatment concepts, including identifying locations for treatment • Infrastructure needs and locations
• Other regulatory requirements (e.g. monitoring, operations, reporting) • Capital Construction Class A cost estimates
• Estimated annual operation and maintenance costs
Carollo will support coordination with multiple stakeholders, such as a short-listed irrigation district and the Tule East basin Groundwater Sustainability Agency. Consultant will develop materials to support discussions of reuse concepts, water supply benefits, water quality, and other topics. Carollo will participate in stakeholder meetings to the extent desired by the City.

Carollo will develop a report summarizing the findings and recommendations. The report will cover the following:
• Summary of reuse concepts considered.
• Results of initial screening and identification of preferred alternatives. • Detailed alternatives analysis for preferred alternatives. • Implementation plan identifying next steps for final preferred alternative.

Assumptions
• SGMA GSP findings will be provided by the City or Tule East GSA. • Scope assumes @ stakeholder meetings and associated preparation and debriefing.

Deliverables
• Draft and Final Findings and Recommendations Report.
• Comment response log
• Stakeholder meeting presentations and minutes.

3.3 Permitting Support
Carollo will coordinate with the Regional Board as necessary related to any interim compliance requirements, in response to the replacement well installation plan, or provide support for other regulatory needs as necessary.

3.4 Funding Support (Optional)
Carollo will develop a funding opportunity matrix that identifies potential funding sources, their requirements, availability, tentative amounts, deadlines, and other considerations. This effort will only identify funding opportunities and does not include development of funding applications.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MAY 19, 2026
SUBJECT: Authorization of Annual Asphalt Hauling Services for the 2026/2027 Overlay Program
SOURCE: Public Works
COMMENT: The City’s Public Works Department, Streets Division, is requesting authorization for annual asphalt hauling services to support the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Cold-Mix and AC Pavement Overlay Program.

Securing hauling pricing and services in advance will improve the City’s ability to efficiently schedule and complete roadway overlay projects throughout the community. Historically, staff secured asphalt transportation services on a project-by-project basis, which created scheduling challenges and reduced operational flexibility.

As the City continues to develop a comprehensive asphalt maintenance program, staff is seeking opportunities to improve operational efficiency and maximize available roadway funding. These improvements will allow the Streets Division to maintain current staffing levels, reduce equipment operation costs, and increase the amount of overlay work completed throughout the City, ultimately improving roadway conditions and transportation infrastructure for the community.

The Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Capital Improvement Program includes approximately $3,000,000 budgeted for the Cold-Mix and AC Pavement Overlay Program. Staff estimates annual hauling expenditures for the 2026/2027 overlay season will not exceed approximately $375,000, depending on project schedules and material quantities.

Given the anticipated volume of asphalt material required for the overlay season, staff solicited quotes from local trucking companies for hauling services.

The quotes received were as follows:

Hauling Services Contractor Hourly Hauling Rate
Mike Clark Trucking $128/ hour
W.T.B., Inc. $155/hour
Terry Johnson Trucking $160/hour
Item No. 7.

After reviewing the submitted quotes, staff recommends utilizing Mike Clark Trucking, which submitted the lowest responsive quote for the proposed hauling services. In the event of scheduling conflicts, equipment availability issues, or other operational needs, staff also requests authorization to utilize the additional contractors listed above in the order of pricing identified.

Funding for hauling services will be made available through the Capital Improvement Program Overlay Projects funded by the Surface Transportation Program (STP), Measure I, and Measure R Local Funds.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

1. Authorize the utilization of Mike Clark Trucking for annual asphalt hauling services for Fiscal Year 2026/2027;

2. Authorize staff to utilize W.T.B., Inc. and Terry Johnson Trucking, Inc. as secondary hauling contractors if scheduling conflicts, equipment availability issues, or operational needs arise; and

3. Authorize expenditures from the Capital Improvement Project Overlay Program and Self-Performed Street Maintenance Overlay Program in an amount not to exceed $375,000.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MAY 19, 2026
SUBJECT: Authorization of Annual Street Striping Services for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 SOURCE: Public Works
COMMENT: The Public Works Department, Streets Division, is requesting authorization from the City Council for annual street striping services for Fiscal Year 2026/2027.

These services will include re-striping lane lines for arterial and collector streets throughout the city limits, as well as replacing existing street markings following asphalt maintenance and roadway overlay projects. While City staff currently repaint stop bars, stop legends, crosswalks, turn arrows, school legends, and school crosswalks, the City does not own the specialized equipment required to maintain travel lane striping throughout the roadway network. Historically, lane striping has been completed on an as-needed basis associated with overlay and street reconstruction projects as part of the City’s ongoing proactive roadway maintenance strategy.

Proper pavement markings are critical to maintaining safe traffic operations, improving lane visibility, enhancing pedestrian safety, and reducing driver confusion throughout the City’s roadway network. Re-striping lane lines in conjunction with the City’s Street Maintenance Program is also necessary to maintain compliance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).

Establishing annual striping services allows the City to respond more efficiently to roadway maintenance needs and complete overlay projects in a timely manner throughout the fiscal year. The Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Capital Improvement Program includes approximately $3,000,000 budgeted for the Cold-Mix and AC Pavement Overlay Program. Staff estimates annual striping expenditures for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 will not exceed approximately $350,000, depending on roadway conditions, overlay schedules, and operational priorities.

To secure services for the upcoming fiscal year, staff solicited quotes based on cost per linear foot and mobilization costs and received the following proposals:

Contractor Quote per Linear Foot Mobilization
T&T Pavement $0.30 $18,900
Item No. 8.

California Stripping Inc. $0.32 $20,500
Fresno Seal & Strip $0.33 $22,000
The proposed annual striping services include mobilization; 4-inch edge line striping; 4-inch broken line striping; 8-inch single solid line striping; two-way left-turn lane striping; double yellow center lines; bike lane markings; crosswalk removal; thermoplastic crosswalk installation; removal and installation of school crossing legends; traffic control; and layout of newly paved roadways.

After reviewing the submitted proposals, staff recommends utilizing T&T Pavement Markings and Products Inc., which provided the best overall value based on pricing, responsiveness, and operational availability. In anticipation of potential scheduling conflicts, equipment availability issues, or other operational needs, staff also requests authorization to utilize California Striping Service, Inc. and Fresno Seal & Stripe, Inc. as secondary contractors in the order of their submitted pricing.

Funding for the Annual Striping Program will be provided through the Surface Transportation Program (STP), Measure I, and Measure R Local Funds in support of the City’s Street Maintenance Operations, Capital Improvement Projects, and Self-Performed Street Maintenance Program.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

1. Authorize the utilization of T&T Pavement Markings and Products Inc. for annual street striping services for Fiscal Year 2026/2027;

2. Authorize staff to utilize California Striping Service, Inc. and Fresno Seal & Stripe, Inc. as secondary striping contractors if scheduling conflicts, equipment availability issues, or operational needs arise; and

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MAY 19, 2026
SUBJECT: Authorization of Annual Asphalt Grinding Services for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 SOURCE: Public Works
COMMENT: Staff is requesting City Council authorization for annual asphalt grinding services for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 to support the City’s ongoing roadway overlay and pavement preservation program.

The proposed grinding services include milling city streets, gutter edges, and blending existing asphalt during roadway dig-outs and pavement transitions throughout overlay project areas. These services are essential to ensure proper asphalt thickness and roadway preparation, which are critical to the longevity, durability, and overall quality of roadway overlay projects.

Utilizing asphalt grinding services as part of the City’s pavement preservation strategy allows the City to overlay streets with lower Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ratings that might otherwise require full reconstruction. This process, combined with routine maintenance, helps extend roadway life cycles, maximize the use of available street maintenance funding, and generate longterm cost savings that can be reinvested into the City’s Street Maintenance Program.

In addition, utilizing grinding contractors supports the Public Works Department’s ability to maintain minimum staffing levels, reduce equipment operation and maintenance costs, and improve the overall efficiency and quality of overlay operations.

Grinding services will be coordinated with City overlay operations and associated support services necessary to complete roadway improvements.

Staff solicited quotes from two qualified contractors for annual asphalt grinding services for Fiscal Year 2026/2027. The submitted quotes are as follows:

Grinding Contractor Quote Mobilization Fee
Pavement Recycling Systems $4,100 @ 8hr Rental $400 per day Cindy Trump Inc. $5,100 @ 8hr Rental $950 per day
Item No. 9.

After reviewing the submitted proposals, staff recommends utilizing Pavement Recycling Systems, which provided the best overall value based on pricing, responsiveness, and operational availability. In the event of scheduling conflicts, equipment availability issues, or other operational needs, staff also requests authorization to utilize Cindy Trump, Inc. as a secondary grinding contractor.

Staff estimates annual asphalt grinding expenditures for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 will not exceed approximately $75,000, depending on overlay schedules, roadway conditions, and operational needs.

Funding for annual asphalt grinding services has been allocated within the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Capital Improvement Program through the Special Gas Tax Fund.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

1. Authorize the utilization of Pavement Recycling Systems for annual asphalt grinding services for Fiscal Year 2026/2027;

2. Authorize staff to utilize Cindy Trump, Inc. as a secondary grinding contractor if scheduling conflicts, equipment availability issues, or operational needs arise;

3. Authorize expenditures from the Special Gas Tax Fund in an amount not to exceed $75,000; and

4. Authorize payment upon satisfactory completion of services.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MAY 19, 2026
SUBJECT: Authorization of Annual Emulsion Services for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 SOURCE: Public Works
COMMENT: Staff is requesting authorization from the City Council for annual emulsion services for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 to support the City’s roadway overlay and pavement preservation operations.

Emulsion serves as a critical bonding agent between existing pavement surfaces and new asphalt overlays, helping improve pavement adhesion, roadway durability, and the overall longevity of overlay projects. Establishing annual emulsion services in advance of the overlay season will secure pricing, improve operational efficiency, and support the timely completion of roadway maintenance projects throughout the city.

The Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Capital Improvement Program includes approximately $3,000,000 budgeted for the Cold-Mix and AC Pavement Overlay Program, which includes associated asphalt, grinding, striping, hauling, and emulsion services necessary to complete roadway improvements.

To support the upcoming overlay season, staff solicited pricing proposals from two local emulsion distributors for Fiscal Year 2026/2027. The pricing proposals received are summarized as follows:

Emulsion Distributor Quoted Price Per Gallon
Standard Emulsion Inc. $3.50 Per Gallon
Cain Trucking Inc. $3.93 Per Gallon
After reviewing the submitted proposals, staff recommends utilizing Standard Emulsion Inc., which provided the best overall value based on pricing, responsiveness, and operational availability. In the event of scheduling conflicts, material availability issues, or other operational needs, staff also requests authorization to utilize Cain Trucking Inc. as a secondary emulsion distributor to ensure continuity of service.

Staff estimates annual emulsion expenditures for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 will not exceed approximately $75,000, depending on overlay schedules, asphalt Item No. 10.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MAY 19, 2026
SUBJECT: Approval of the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Self-Performed Street Maintenance Program
SOURCE: Public Works
COMMENT: Staff is requesting approval of the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Self-Performed Street Maintenance Program and authorization for expenditures in the amount of $3,000,000 for roadway maintenance and pavement preservation activities throughout the city.

The City’s self-performed street maintenance approach allows the City to complete a greater volume of roadway improvements at a lower overall cost by utilizing City crews in coordination with contracted support services. The program is intended to improve overall roadway conditions, enhance traffic safety, extend pavement life cycles, and reduce the long-term cost of future roadway reconstruction. The Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Self-Performed Street Maintenance Program includes approximately 30 lane miles of planned roadway maintenance activities, representing the second consecutive year the City has delivered 30 lane miles of self-performed street maintenance improvements.

Based on the City’s Pavement Condition Index (PCI) analysis and staff field evaluations, street sections have been selected for this year’s roadway maintenance program. Streets were prioritized based on pavement condition, traffic usage, preventative maintenance opportunities, and the ability to maximize roadway life expectancy through timely rehabilitation.

The proposed roadway treatments will consist of grind-and-pave rehabilitation methods utilizing asphalt paving and cold-mix overlay methods designed to rehabilitate and extend the useful life of existing roadways. The program will utilize a combination of City forces and previously authorized contracted support services, including asphalt hauling, grinding, striping, and emulsion services necessary to complete roadway improvements efficiently and costeffectively.

The identified street sections proposed for the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 SelfPerformed Street Maintenance Program are as follows:

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MAY 19, 2026
SUBJECT: Approval of a Second Municipal Water Service Connection for Property Located at 1803 E. Springville Avenue
SOURCE: Community Development
COMMENT: Staff received a request for approval of a second municipal water service connection for the property located at 1803 E. Springville Avenue to support the future development of an additional residential dwelling unit on the property.

The subject property is located in East Porterville, outside the City limits and within the City’s Urban Development Boundary. The property is currently developed with a single-family residential dwelling. The property previously received approval of an Extraterritorial Service Agreement (ESA) as part of the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) Emergency Connection Project for East Porterville, in which the property qualified under the East Porterville Feasibility Study Project Area.

An application for the ESA was processed on October 22, 2016, and approved by the City. The ESA included an Irrevocable Agreement for Annexation (IAA #45-12) and a deed restriction recorded with the Tulare County Recorder’s Office on October 6, 2017, as Document No. 2017-0061805.

As a condition of the ESA, the recorded deed restriction states that “no expansion or modification of this use, including conversion of structures or addition of habitable structures, may be permitted without approval of the City Council of the City of Porterville.” Because the applicant is requesting an additional municipal water service connection to support a future residential dwelling unit, City Council approval is required pursuant to the recorded deed restriction and associated ESA conditions.

The future residential development associated with the second water service connection shall comply with all applicable Tulare County development standards and permitting requirements.

Approval of the second municipal water service connection does not annex the property into the City limits and does not alter the existing annexation Item No. 12.
requirements associated with the property under the Irrevocable Agreement for Annexation.

This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines because the project involves a minor expansion of an existing utility service connection.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the draft resolution approving a second municipal water service connection for the property located at 1803 E. Springville Avenue.

SUBJECT: Approval of Temporary Construction Easements for the Hope Elementary School Water System Consolidation Project
SOURCE: Community Development
COMMENT: The Hope Elementary School Water System Consolidation Project is intended to provide the school with a long-term, reliable municipal water supply connection to the City’s water system for domestic water use, irrigation, and fire flow purposes.

The project consists of the installation of new water mains connecting the school to the City’s water system along South Indiana Street and West Teapot Dome Avenue. In addition, a new service connection and water meter will be installed at the school site to support domestic water use, irrigation, and fire flow improvements.

The temporary construction easements are necessary to provide construction access and accommodate installation activities associated with the new water system improvements.

COMMENT: Councilman Beltran has requested that the City Council consider providing financial assistance to two community-based programs that support individuals experiencing homelessness and related community needs.

The first request is for $5,000 to the Local Initiatives Navigation Center (LINC) Program to assist with various community projects and support services.

Funding for this request would be provided from Council Discretionary Funding previously allocated to the New Porterville Rescue Mission; however, the New Porterville Rescue Mission declined the financial assistance, making those funds available for reallocation.

The second request is for $5,000 to Kings View to assist with its Homeless Reunification Program, which focuses on reconnecting individuals experiencing homelessness with family members or support systems outside the area as part of broader stabilization efforts. Funding for this request would be provided through the City’s Cannabis Community Benefit Program funding.

Should the City Council approve these funding requests, staff will place the item on the June 2, 2026 Scheduled Matters Agenda for formal consideration and approval.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the requested funding items to be placed on the June 2, 2026 Scheduled Matters Agenda for formal consideration and approval.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MAY 19, 2026
SUBJECT: Amendment to Resolution No. 37-2012 Establishing a Uniform Early Payoff Incentive Program for the City’s Development Fee Payment Plan and Clarifying Eligibility Requirements for Multi-Unit Housing Developments for Low and Moderate Income Families
SOURCE: City Manager's Office
COMMENT: In 2009, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1754 amending various sections of the Porterville Municipal Code relating to the deferral of certain developer impact fees. The ordinance established the framework allowing eligible development impact fees to be deferred until issuance of certificate of occupancy in order to support economic development activities within the City while preserving the City’s ability to collect fees necessary to fund public infrastructure improvements.

In 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 37-2012 establishing the City’s Development Fee Payment Plan program. The program allows eligible businesses and qualifying multi-unit housing developments to defer payment of certain development-related fees over a period of up to ten (10) years without interest or administrative fees. Eligible fees include building permit, sewer, water, storm drainage, wastewater treatment facility, and transportation impact fees.

The Development Fee Payment Plan program was originally created to reduce the burden of initial development costs, encourage economic development and business expansion, support new and expanding industries, encourage investment within the City limits, and support additional housing development opportunities.

Under the existing program, participants are permitted to defer development fee payments through annual installments secured by recorded agreements against the subject property.

Recently, questions were raised regarding the eligibility requirements applicable to multi-unit housing developments for low and moderate income families participating in the Development Fee Payment Plan. Specifically, Resolution No. 37-2012 does not currently establish a minimum percentage of Item No. 17.
affordable housing units required within a project nor establish the minimum duration affordability restrictions must remain in place.

The proposed amendment clarifies that qualifying multi-unit housing developments must maintain a minimum of fifty-one percent (51%) of dwelling units restricted for occupancy by low, very low, or moderate-income households for a minimum period of ten (10) years secured through a recorded affordability covenant, regulatory agreement, or similar instrument approved by the City Attorney.

Additionally, the City Council recently discussed the potential establishment of a uniform early payoff incentive program applicable to Development Fee Payment Plan participants. The discussion focused on creating a financially supportable methodology that would encourage accelerated repayment of deferred fee obligations while protecting the integrity of the City’s development impact fee program and ensuring consistent treatment among developers.

The proposed amendment to Resolution No. 37-2012 establishes a uniform methodology allowing eligible Development Fee Payment Plan participants to voluntarily satisfy their remaining deferred fee obligations through a one-time lump-sum early payoff payment.

The proposed program is structured utilizing present-value financial principles based upon the City’s average annual pooled investment earnings rate. The intent of the program is to recognize the financial benefit to the City associated with receiving accelerated payment of deferred revenues, including:
• improved cash flow;
• reduced long-term administrative tracking and collection obligations; • mitigation of long-term collection risk;
• increased certainty of revenue collection; and
• the ability for the City to invest revenues sooner for public purposes and infrastructure improvements.

Importantly, the proposed program does not waive, forgive, or eliminate any adopted development impact fees. Rather, the proposed methodology establishes a standardized present-value equivalent calculation for satisfaction of deferred payment obligations previously authorized under the Development Fee Payment Plan.

The proposed amendment includes several safeguards intended to ensure fairness, transparency, consistency, and fiscal responsibility, including:
• application of a uniform methodology to all eligible participants; • administrative calculation procedures established by the Finance Item No. 17.

Director;
• limitation of the incentive to full payoff of remaining balances only; • eligibility restrictions for accounts not in good standing; • prospective application only;
• clarification that the program does not alter or eliminate adopted development impact fees; and
• City Council review and approval for any early payoff calculation resulting in an incentive amount exceeding One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).

Staff believes the proposed amendment appropriately balances the City Council’s continued support for economic development and affordable housing opportunities with the need to preserve fairness, financial integrity, administrative consistency, and long-term infrastructure funding objectives.

The proposed action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the common sense exemption, because it can be seen with certainty that adoption of the proposed Resolution establishing an administrative financial policy will not have a significant effect on the environment.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

1. Adopt the draft Resolution amending Resolution No. 37-2012 establishing a Uniform Early Payoff Incentive Program for the City’s Development Fee Payment Plan and clarifying eligibility requirements for multi-unit housing developments for low and moderate income families; and

2. Authorize the Finance Director to establish administrative procedures and calculation methodologies necessary to
implement the Early Payoff Incentive Program in accordance with the adopted Resolution.

Item No. 18.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MAY 19, 2026
SUBJECT: Authorization to Purchase Patrol Rifles and Ballistic Helmets SOURCE: Police
COMMENT: Law enforcement agencies throughout the nation continue to experience incidents involving heavily armed suspects, active shooter situations, and rapidly evolving critical incidents that require immediate response by patrol officers prior to the arrival of specialized units. The Porterville community experienced one of these tragic incidents on April 9, 2026.

In response to evolving public safety needs and national law enforcement best practices, the Police Department is requesting authorization to purchase seventeen (17) patrol rifles and sixty-five (65) ballistic helmets for sworn personnel. The acquisition of patrol rifles and ballistic helmets is consistent with recommendations from nationally recognized law enforcement organizations, including the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA).

Patrol rifles provide officers with enhanced accuracy, improved range, and increased stopping capability compared to standard-issued handguns. These tools are critical for effectively responding to high-risk incidents such as active shooter events, armed barricaded suspects, and extended-range engagements commonly encountered in rural and regional environments.

Ballistic helmets provide essential head protection against handgun rounds, fragmentation, and blunt force trauma. National incident reviews have consistently identified head injuries as a leading cause of line-of-duty fatalities during critical incidents. The proposed PASGT Level III-A ballistic helmets are designed to provide enhanced protection while improving officer survivability and overall officer safety during emergency response operations.

Equipping patrol officers with these tools ensures that first responders have the necessary equipment to immediately engage and neutralize threats to protect lives within the community.

The Police Department is requesting authorization to purchase seventeen (17) Geissele Super Duty L 11.5 SBR patrol rifles chambered in 5.56 caliber from Item No. 18.

ProForce Law Enforcement in an amount not to exceed $20,986.74. In addition, the Police Department is requesting authorization to purchase sixty-five (65) PASGT Level III-A ballistic helmets from Executive Distributors International in an amount not to exceed $18,642.24.

ProForce Law Enforcement and Executive Distributors International provide discounted firearms, tactical equipment, and body armor to law enforcement agencies through established cooperative purchasing programs administered by the Purchasing Cooperative of America (PCA). These cooperative purchasing contracts leverage high-volume purchasing and satisfy the City’s competitive procurement requirements.

The rifle and helmet quotations provided by ProForce Law Enforcement and Executive Distributors International include applicable sales tax and reflect discounted law enforcement pricing available through the cooperative purchasing program.

Funding for the proposed equipment purchases is available within the Police Department Asset Forfeiture Fund and will have no impact on the City’s General Fund budget.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

1. Approve the purchase of seventeen (17) Geissele Super Duty L

11.5 SBR patrol rifles from ProForce Law Enforcement in an amount not to exceed $20,986.74; and

2. Approve the purchase of sixty-five (65) PASGT Level III-A ballistic helmets from Executive Distributors International in an amount not to exceed $18,642.24.
