CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – AUGUST 4, 2026
SUBJECT: 1. Building Permit Activity Quarterly Report Q4 FY 25/26 SOURCE: Planning and Engineering
COMMENT: This informational report summarizes building permit activity for the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2025-2026 (April through June 2026), including both residential and commercial development.

During the fourth quarter, the City issued 39 new residential permits, representing a 44.28% decrease compared to the same period last fiscal year (70 permits) and a 69.56% increase compared to Fiscal Year 2023-2024 (23 permits). No new commercial permits were issued during this quarter, a decrease from the two permits issued during the same quarter last year and consistent with the level of activity observed two years ago.

On a year-to-date basis (July 2025 through June 2026), the City has issued 134 residential permits, which reflects a 37.67% decrease compared to the same period last fiscal year (215 permits), but a 39.58% increase compared to Fiscal Year 2023-2024 (96 permits). Commercial permit activity has remained consistent year-to-date, with five permits issued, matching the total for both the previous fiscal year and Fiscal Year 2023–2024.

The attached monthly reports provide detailed information on permit activity, valuation, and associated fees. Overall, the data reflects continued residential and commercial development activity within the City. While residential permit activity declined compared to the previous fiscal year, it remains above Fiscal Year 2023–2024 levels. Commercial permit activity has remained relatively consistent over the past three fiscal years. The year-over-year fluctuations in permit activity are also consistent with historical trends observed during years in which a new California Building Code has been adopted.

SUBJECT: 7. Transit Quarterly Report Q4 FY 25/26
SOURCE: Transportation
COMMENT: Transit Ridership Analysis – Quarterly Report (FY 2025/26) Overall Summary
During FY 2025/26, the City's transit system experienced mixed ridership trends across its service types. Fixed Route service declined significantly compared to the previous fiscal year, while Dial-A-Colt continued to experience strong growth and transPORT (MicroTransit) remained relatively stable. The decline in Fixed Route ridership is largely attributable to the route restructuring implemented at the beginning of the fiscal year and the reinstatement of passenger fares in December 2025 following a 17-month fare-free period.

Fixed Route Service
Total Fixed Route ridership through the fiscal year decreased from 414,388 passengers in FY 2024/25 to 224,775 passengers in FY 2025/26, representing an overall decrease of 46%.

Quarter 1 (July – September)
The first quarter reflected the transition to the new route network.

Total ridership decreased only 8% compared to the prior year.

Routes 1, 2, 3 and 5 all experienced increases ranging from 8% to 19%, indicating strong public acceptance of the revised routing.

Ridership on Route 4 declined 84% because the route was significantly shortened, and many passengers shifted to other routes.

Route 6 was eliminated and replaced through route restructuring.

Although overall ridership was slightly lower than the previous year, the redistribution of passengers demonstrates that the revised network was functioning as intended.

Quarter 2 (October – December)
Quarter 2 experienced the most significant decline, with total ridership decreasing 36%.

Several factors contributed to this reduction:

Passenger fares were reinstated in December 2025 after more than a year of fare-free service.

Seasonal ridership traditionally decreases during the holiday months.

Riders continued adjusting to the revised service network.

December alone showed a 60% decline compared to the previous December, illustrating the immediate impact of fare reinstatement.

Quarter 3 (January – March)
Quarter 3 ridership declined 67% compared to FY 2024/25.

This quarter reflects the first full quarter operating with the revised service plan and restored fares.

Additionally:

Route 5 service had been discontinued.

Ridership levels began stabilizing at the new operating level after the significant decrease experienced in December.

Although overall passenger counts remain below historical levels, month-tomonth totals remained relatively consistent throughout the quarter.

Quarter 4 (April – June)
Quarter 4 remained consistent with Quarter 3, showing an overall decline of 67%.

Ridership stabilized throughout the quarter, suggesting the system has established a new baseline following the service modifications and fare reinstatement.

Route Performance
Route 2 experienced the smallest annual decline (20%) and remains one of the strongest performing routes.

Route 3 also performed well with only a 25% annual reduction, continuing to serve as one of the highest ridership corridors.

Route 1 decreased 38%, largely reflecting the effects of fare reinstatement.

Route 4 declined 72%, consistent with the significant service reduction implemented during the route redesign.

Route 5 decreased 58% before ultimately being eliminated.

Route 6 was discontinued as part of the route restructuring.

Dial-A-Colt (ADA Paratransit)
Dial-A-Colt experienced another year of substantial growth.

Annual ridership increased from 5,832 passengers to 9,103 passengers, representing an overall increase of 56%.

Highlights include:

Quarter 1 increased 152%
Quarter 2 increased 69%
Quarter 3 remained relatively stable with only a 6% decrease Quarter 4 continued to show steady ridership growth
The continued increase demonstrates a growing demand for ADA complementary paratransit services and reflects the City's commitment to providing accessible transportation for eligible riders. transPORT (MicroTransit)
transPORT remained relatively stable throughout the fiscal year despite fluctuations in Fixed Route ridership.

Annual ridership decreased only 3%, from 17,134 passengers to 16,547 passengers.

Quarterly performance included:

Quarter 1: 8% decrease
Quarter 2: 10% decrease
Quarter 3: 8% increase
Quarter 4 continued strong ridership following the introduction of the revised service area.

Notably, March experienced a 24% increase over the previous year, indicating growing public acceptance of the on-demand service model. Overall, transPORT continues to serve as an important mobility option, particularly for riders requiring flexible transportation outside traditional fixed-route service.

Overall Assessment
While Fixed Route ridership declined significantly during FY 2025/26, the reduction is largely attributable to planned operational changes rather than a loss of demand alone. The implementation of a redesigned route network, elimination of redundant routes, and reinstatement of passenger fares all contributed to lower ridership totals. Ridership appears to have stabilized during the second half of the fiscal year, establishing a new operating baseline.

Conversely, Dial-A-Colt continued to demonstrate strong growth, reflecting increasing demand for ADA paratransit services, while transPORT maintained relatively consistent ridership and showed encouraging growth during the latter part of the year. Collectively, these trends indicate that while traditional Fixed Route service has adjusted to a new operating model, demand for flexible and specialized transit services continues to grow, supporting the City's ongoing efforts to provide a balanced and responsive public transportation system.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – AUGUST 4, 2026
SUBJECT: Authorize Replacement of City Hall Fire Alarm Sensor Duct Detectors SOURCE: Parks and Leisure Services
COMMENT: The fire alarm sensor duct detectors serving City Hall were installed in 2019 and are no longer operating reliably. The detectors are generating recurring false alarms that periodically shut down the building's HVAC system and, on occasion, have resulted in unnecessary responses by the Fire Department.

Staff recommends replacing the existing detectors to restore the reliability of the City's fire alarm system and minimize operational disruptions.

Fire alarm sensor duct detectors are a critical life-safety component designed to detect smoke within a building's ventilation system. When activated, they automatically shut down the HVAC system to help prevent the spread of smoke throughout the building and provide notification to the fire alarm control panel. Replacing the existing detectors will improve the reliability of the City's life-safety systems and help ensure the continued operation of City Hall.

Jorgensen Company installed the existing fire alarm system and is the City's current service provider for the system. Utilizing the original installer will help ensure compatibility with the existing fire alarm equipment and minimize operational disruptions during the replacement process.

Funding for the project is available within the General Fund Facility Deferred Maintenance / Equipment Replacement Designated Fund. Jorgensen Company's proposal totals $14,163.13. Staff recommends authorizing a total project budget not to exceed $15,579.44, which includes a ten percent (10%) contingency to address any unforeseen conditions encountered during the replacement. Prompt completion of this work will reduce unnecessary emergency responses, improve the reliability of the City's fire alarm system, and help ensure the continued operation of City Hall.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

1. Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the appropriation of funds from the General Fund Facility Deferred Maintenance / Item No. 1.

Equipment Replacement Designated Fund; and

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the necessary documents and authorize payment to Jorgensen
Company in an amount not to exceed $15,579.44 for the
replacement of the City Hall fire alarm sensor duct detectors, including a ten percent (10%) contingency.

APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL FUND RESERVE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE

DESIGNATED FUND FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF CITY HALL FIRE ALARM SENSOR DUCT

DETECTORS
WHEREAS: In 2019, the City of Porterville installed a fire alarm system by Jorgensen Company in City Hall;
WHEREAS: The HVAC fire alarm sensor duct detectors are not functioning properly emitting false alarms and shutting down the entire system at times; WHEREAS: Fire alarm sensor duct detectors play a critical role in by preventing the recirculation of smoke, gases, and flames through a building’s ventilation system. Replacement of the current duct detectors will enable accurate monitoring alerts so emergency services can be dispatched to the exact air handler experiencing the fault in an emergency.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:

1. That the City Council of the City of Porterville make a finding that the purchase of City Hall fire alarm sensor duct detectors is within the intent and purpose of the General Fund Reserve Deferred Maintenance Fund; and

2. That the City Council of the City of Porterville does hereby approve and authorize the appropriation of funds $15,579.44 from the General Fund Reserve Deferred Maintenance Fund for the purchase of fire alarm sensor duct detectors for City Hall.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – AUGUST 4, 2026
SUBJECT: Authorization to Repair the Westwood Estates Perimeter Wall SOURCE: Parks and Leisure Services
COMMENT: On July 22, 2026, a vehicle collided with the perimeter masonry wall at Westwood Estates near the intersection of Westwood Street and Morton Avenue, causing significant structural damage to a portion of the wall. Staff has determined that the damaged section presents a potential public safety hazard and should be repaired promptly to prevent further deterioration or a possible partial wall collapse. The wall is a landscape improvement maintained through the Westwood Estates Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District.

The City is proceeding with the repair to protect public safety, preserve the integrity of the existing improvement, and restore the appearance of the neighborhood entrance. The City has initiated the appropriate insurance claim and will pursue reimbursement from the responsible party to the extent available.

Staff obtained three quotations to complete the repair:

Contractor Amount
Advanced Engineering USA $7,800
Advanced Concrete $10,200
American Enviro Services, Inc. $13,920
Advanced Engineering USA submitted the lowest responsive quotation and is capable of completing the repairs consistent with the existing wall design. The proposed work includes demolition and removal of the damaged wall section, reconstruction of approximately 25 feet of masonry wall using materials that match the existing wall, replacement of one damaged bollard, debris removal, and site cleanup.

Staff recommends including a ten percent contingency to address any unforeseen conditions that may be encountered once the damaged wall is demolished, including concealed structural damage or additional work necessary to safely restore the wall.

Item No. 2.

Funding for the repair is available within the Westwood Estates Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District Fund, which is responsible for maintaining improvements within the district.

Promptly completing these repairs will eliminate a potential public safety hazard, restore the damaged neighborhood improvement, and help protect the City's financial interests by pursuing available insurance reimbursement while minimizing the risk of additional deterioration.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council authorize the repair of the Westwood Estates perimeter wall by Advanced Engineering USA in an amount not to exceed $8,580, including a ten percent
contingency, and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute any documents necessary to complete the work.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – AUGUST 4, 2026
SUBJECT: Award of Contract for the Pedestrian Crossings with Rapid Flashing Beacons Project
SOURCE: Planning and Engineering
COMMENT: The Pedestrian Crossings with Rapid Flashing Beacons Project is intended to improve pedestrian visibility and safety at uncontrolled crossings located near schools, residential neighborhoods, parks, and other areas with high pedestrian activity throughout the City.

Project improvements include installation of Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacons (RRFBs), upgraded pavement markings and warning signage, accessibility improvements to curb returns, and installation of detectable warning surfaces intended to improve pedestrian accessibility and crossing visibility. The project will also include straight curb returns within crosswalk paths and replacement of curb ramps that do not meet current accessibility standards.

The project includes improvements at the following locations:
▪ W Mullberry Avenue at Verdugo Way (Oak Grove Elementary) ▪ W Putnam Avenue at West Putnam School
▪ W Westfield Avenue at Villa Street (Monte Vista)
▪ W Orange Avenue at G Street and F Street (Olive Street & PHS) ▪ Pioneer Avenue at Milo Street (Military Academy, Butterfield, and Vine Street)
▪ Prospect Street at Castle Avenue (Sequoia Middle)
The project also includes three additive bid alternatives to provide flexibility based on bid pricing and funding availability:
▪ N Elderwood Street and Burton Middle School (add alternate #1) ▪ W Westfield Avenue at Linda Way (add alternate #2)
▪ Mulberry Avenue at Belmont St (add alternate #3)
On May 15, 2026, staff received four (4) bids for the Pedestrian Crossings with Item No. 4.

Rapid Flashing Beacons Project. The bids received were as follows:

Contractor Bid Amount
Anderson Striping & Construction, Inc $394,688.5
3 MAC General Engineering, Inc $579,506.0
5 Advanced Engineering USA $617,050.0
0 PTM General Engineering Services $871,323.0
0 The Engineer’s Estimate for the project was $465,000. Staff has reviewed the bids received and determined the lowest responsive bid submitted by Anderson Striping & Construction, Inc. to be acceptable.

The project also included three additive bid alternatives to provide flexibility based upon available funding and project priorities. Staff evaluated the additive bid alternatives based upon available funding, pedestrian safety priorities, and site readiness. Staff recommends inclusion of Add Alternate #2 at W. Westfield Avenue and Linda Way because the location is ready for construction and provides an additional pedestrian safety improvement within a residential area. Add Alternate #1 was not recommended because additional improvements by the school district are necessary to avoid creating a potential safety conflict at the site. Add Alternate #3 was not recommended based upon current funding availability.

The cost for Add Alternate #2 is $47,712.85, bringing the total construction contract amount to $442,401.38. In addition to the construction contract amount, staff recommends a 10% construction contingency for unforeseen field conditions and an additional 10% for construction management, surveying, inspection, and quality control services, resulting in a total project cost of approximately $530,881.38.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – AUGUST 4, 2026
SUBJECT: Authorization to Award the Contract for the Veterans Park Parking Lot Repaving Project
SOURCE: Public Works
COMMENT: Veterans Park is one of the City's most heavily used recreational facilities, serving residents and visitors attending youth and adult sports, community events, and other public activities throughout the year. The existing parking lot has deteriorated due to age, weather, and continuous vehicle traffic, creating pavement failures that should be rehabilitated to improve public safety, accessibility, and the long-term preservation of City infrastructure.

The proposed project includes removal of the existing deteriorated asphalt surface, grading and compaction of the existing base as necessary, installation of new asphalt pavement, restriping of parking stalls and pavement markings, and restoration of disturbed areas. These improvements will provide a safer and more durable parking surface while extending the useful life of the facility.

Staff recommends utilizing a contractor for this project to allow City street maintenance crews to remain focused on the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 asphalt overlay program. Outsourcing the parking lot improvements allows both projects to proceed concurrently without delaying the City's approved street rehabilitation schedule.

Staff solicited competitive quotations from qualified paving contractors. Three quotations were received:

Contractor Quote
Central Valley Asphalt $98,148
Volmer Excavation Inc. $100,685
Yarbs Grading and Paving $131,850
Central Valley Asphalt submitted the lowest responsive and responsible quotation and is qualified to complete the work. Staff recommends including a ten percent contingency to address any unforeseen field conditions encountered during removal of the existing pavement or preparation of the subgrade. The recommended contract authorization includes the contractor's Item No. 5.
base proposal of $98,148 plus a 10 percent contingency, resulting in a total authorized amount of $107,962.

Funding for the project is available through the General Fund Reserve Deferred Maintenance Fund. Because reserve funding is being utilized, staff is also requesting that the City Council adopt the accompanying resolution appropriating the necessary funds for the project.

Awarding the contract will improve public safety, enhance accessibility for park users, preserve a heavily utilized public asset, improve the appearance of Veterans Park, and reduce future maintenance costs associated with temporary asphalt repairs.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

1. Adopt the attached Resolution appropriating $107,962 from the General Fund Reserve Deferred Maintenance Fund for the Veterans Park Parking Lot Repaving Project;

2. Award the contract for the Veterans Park Parking Lot Repaving Project to Central Valley Asphalt in an amount not to exceed $107,962, including a ten percent contingency; and

3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the construction contract and any non-substantive documents necessary to complete the project.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – AUGUST 4, 2026
SUBJECT: Intent to Schedule a Public Hearing for a Conditional Use Permit at 1200 South Main Street
SOURCE: Planning and Engineering
COMMENT: The purpose of this item is to authorize publication and distribution of the required public notice and schedule a public hearing for August 18, 2026, to consider a request for a Conditional Use Permit (PRC No. 2026-013).

The applicant, Don Burns, on behalf of property owner Mike Colletto, has submitted an application for a Conditional Use Permit to reopen the former Harley's Tavern as Dead End Saloon. The request includes authorization to obtain a California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Type 48 license for the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for on-site consumption.

The Porterville Development Ordinance requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the City Council for tavern and bar uses within this zoning district.

Prior to consideration of the request, state law and the Porterville Development Ordinance require publication of a public notice and the conduct of a duly noticed public hearing.

Staff has completed a preliminary review of the application and has determined that the project appears capable of satisfying the required findings for approval of a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Section 604.04 of the Porterville Development Ordinance, including:

1. General Plan Consistency. The proposed use is consistent with the Retail Centers General Plan Land Use designation and applicable provisions of the Porterville Development Ordinance.

2. Site and Operational Suitability. The proposed use will occupy an existing commercial building that has historically operated as a tavern and is appropriately located within the CR (Retail Centers) Zone Item No. 7.

District.

A comprehensive staff analysis, environmental determination, recommended conditions of approval, and all evidence supporting the required findings will be presented to the City Council as part of the public hearing on August 18, 2026.

Staff has also completed a preliminary environmental review and determined that the project qualifies for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption (Existing Facilities) pursuant to Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. The environmental determination will be presented to the City Council for consideration during the public hearing.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

1. Authorize staff to publish and distribute the Notice of Public Hearing for a Conditional Use Permit (PRC No. 2026-013); and

2. Schedule a public hearing for Tuesday, August 18, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. to consider the requested Conditional Use Permit and related environmental determination.

Item No. 8.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – AUGUST 4, 2026
SUBJECT: Approval of a Professional Services Agreement with MGT Impact Solutions, LLC for State Mandated Cost Reimbursement (SB 90) Services
SOURCE: Finance
COMMENT: The City has retained MGT Impact Solutions, LLC (MGT) for more than ten years to provide State Mandated Cost Reimbursement (SB 90) services. These specialized services assist the City in recovering eligible costs incurred in complying with state-mandated programs while reducing the administrative burden on City staff.

Under the proposed agreement, MGT will identify eligible reimbursement opportunities, prepare and submit annual and new SB 90 claims, develop indirect cost rate proposals, assist with State Controller reviews and audits, and monitor changes to the State's reimbursement program. MGT also coordinates directly with City departments to collect the necessary information and ensure claims are prepared accurately and submitted in a timely manner.

MGT has extensive experience providing SB 90 reimbursement services to California public agencies and has successfully assisted the City with these specialized services for more than a decade.

The value of these services is demonstrated by the City's reimbursement history. During the past five fiscal years, the City has recovered approximately $313,063 in eligible State Mandated Cost Reimbursements, averaging more than $62,600 annually. These reimbursements significantly exceed the annual cost of the proposed agreement and help offset the City's costs of complying with state-mandated programs.

The proposed agreement is for a three-year term beginning with the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 claim cycle at a fixed cost of $13,950 ($4,650 annually), billed quarterly. Funding is available within the Finance Department's adopted operating budget. Staff recommends approval of the Professional Services Agreement to continue these revenue recovery services and maximize reimbursement of eligible state-mandated costs.

Item No. 8.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

1. Approve a three-year Professional Services Agreement with MGT Impact Solutions, LLC for State Mandated Cost
Reimbursement (SB 90) services in an amount not to exceed $13,950; and

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the Professional Services Agreement and any non-substantive documents necessary to implement the agreement.

CITY OF PORTERVILLE – SB 90 PROPOSAL FY 2027, 2028, 2029 PAGE 7 Project Approach
Scope of Services
MGT provides true turnkey mandated-cost claiming services to its clients, and our approach is based on personal interaction. Our staff is involved in our clients’ claims process throughout the year, providing proactive news, reports, and the earliest possible notification of new SB 90 claims.

We provide our clients with claiming summaries and data collection guides to help them understand all eligible components of each program. This process supplements the interviews our staff conduct to ensure each department contact understands precisely what data is required and the internal deadlines for submission.

Most cities and counties are at risk of desk reviews from the State Controller. We believe that part of our job is to assist your departments in understanding the appropriate levels of documentation required for each claim the City files.

Finally, the project manager will complete all claims and all indirect cost rate proposals, compile all elements of the claims into electronic format, and send them to the City for review and signature well in advance of the claiming deadline.

MGT will provide the following services to the City:
 Identify all possible SB 90 claiming opportunities.
 Prepare and file all eligible annual SB 90 claims with the SCO.  Prepare and file all eligible first-time or new SB 90 claims that are due during the fiscal year of the contract.
 Assist with SCO desk reviews and up to eight hours of assistance in responding to field audits.  Assist the City with knowledge transfer and training on the eligible components of each Statemandated program.

PROJECT APPROACH
CITY OF PORTERVILLE – SB 90 PROPOSAL FY 2027, 2028, 2029 PAGE 8 Work Plan

PROJECT APPROACH
CITY OF PORTERVILLE – SB 90 PROPOSAL FY 2027, 2028, 2029 PAGE 9

STATE MANDATE REIMBURSEMENT INFORMATION
The SB 90 process is constantly changing and evolving. MGT will provide targeted, relevant communication on statewide issues, interpretations, and actions at the state capitol relating to the SB 90 process throughout the fiscal year via MGT Instant Updates©, a series of e-mail communiqués designed to keep our clients up to date with the latest
mandate legislation, California Commission on
State Mandates decisions, and state agency
interpretations. MGT will sort through all
pertinent activities to provide the City with the
most relevant information throughout the year,
saving the City time and resources.

AUDIT ASSISTANCE
MGT will monitor State Controller requests or
issues that could affect the City’s SB 90 claims.

MGT will also provide liaison assistance to the
SCO at the desk-review level. The SCO may call to
request additional information or duplicate
documentation that may have been misplaced in
their offices. Our firm will field these calls and
fulfill all appropriate requests, if possible,
without the City’s involvement.

Nobody wants to see the SCO auditing their
claims, but higher levels of scrutiny are a fact of
life. Our team has extensive experience preparing
local agencies for field audits and assisting in their
representation beyond the exit conference.

This engagement includes up to eight hours of audit assistance. Although unlikely, if the City requests additional audit assistance, MGT will bill the City at the staff member’s hourly rate.

We based our work plan and proposed fee on several main assumptions about the project. If the City changes these assumptions, it could affect our proposed fee. We would be happy to meet with the City to go over these assumptions, confirm or update them as needed with additional details, and adjust our work plan and budget as appropriate.

Below, we present our SB 90 project assumptions:
 The City will designate a Project Officer for this project. This person will serve as the project's primary point of contact and coordinate and facilitate the flow of information and communication among the City, key stakeholders, and MGT.  The City Project Officer should have decision authority on behalf of the City to finalize deliverables from the study. Additional City stakeholder review may affect the study's timeliness and scope.
 The City Project Officer will ensure that comments on draft documents are consolidated into a single document, and any conflicting comments are reconciled before delivering the comments to MGT.
 We have provided for a fixed number of drafts of ICRPs and claim forms (two drafts and a final) in this proposal. If you request additional drafts, our Project Executive will discuss and assess the impact on the cost of our work, timelines, or scope.
 MGT will have access to and cooperation and participation by staff and management. MGT expects to have reasonable, timely access to City personnel and data. If the City stops the project for any reason, MGT will be due all fees for services performed to date and can bill the City immediately.
 To meet aggressive project timelines, the City will respond to MGT communications within two business days. The City will submit data in response to MGT requests within 10 business days, with a deadline to be agreed upon by the MGT Project Manager(s) and the City Project Officer.  If necessary, on-site meeting facilities will be arranged for and used at the expense of the City.

The City will provide all requested documents at its own expense.  All costs and other data provided by the City will be considered accurate and valid. MGT will not be responsible for the audit and/or verification of any cost or other data provided by the City.  The project proposal does not include on-site meetings. All project efforts, interviews, and status updates will be done remotely via Teams, Zoom, or the City's preferred remote meeting platform.
 The City will receive bi-annual invoices concluding with the SCO filing of SB 90 claims. Net 30 is MGT's standard payment terms.
 Material new or multi-year claims may require a budget change. The current fees quoted are based on historical filings by program for the City.

Item No. 9.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – AUGUST 4, 2026
SUBJECT: Approval of an Agreement with Spectrum Business for Network Connectivity Services Supporting the Police Radio System Upgrade Project SOURCE: Police
COMMENT: The Police Radio System Upgrade Project requires dedicated, high-speed network connectivity between the Police Department, Sierra View Medical Center, and the Scenic Heights radio site to support the City's new public safety radio communications system. Reliable connectivity between these locations is essential to ensure dependable radio communications for police officers and other emergency responders throughout the community.

On February 17, 2026, the City Council approved funding for the Police Radio System Upgrade Project as part of the City's 10-Year Capital Improvement Plan to modernize the Police Department's radio communications infrastructure.

On May 5, 2026, the City Council approved an Antenna Agreement with Sierra View Medical Center allowing the installation of public safety radio communications equipment at the medical center to improve radio coverage throughout the City.

Motorola Solutions established minimum network performance standards necessary to ensure reliable, secure, and uninterrupted operation of the new radio system. Staff evaluated available telecommunications providers based on their ability to satisfy these operational requirements, network availability, overall cost, and completeness of service.

Staff evaluated proposals from Spectrum Business, AT&T, and OACYS. • Spectrum Business proposed a fiber-based Ethernet Private Line (EPL) network connecting the Police Department, Sierra View Medical Center, and the Scenic Heights radio site under a single agreement. The proposed 100 Mbps service exceeds Motorola's minimum bandwidth requirement of 50 Mbps and includes no installation costs. • AT&T proposed a Managed Switched Ethernet on Demand (ASEoD) solution through the State of California CALNET contract. While the monthly service cost is comparable, AT&T was unable to provide installation pricing for the Scenic Heights connection until after Item No. 9.
execution of an agreement, creating uncertainty regarding the total project cost.
• OACYS proposed a licensed point-to-point wireless microwave connection between the Police Department and the Scenic Heights radio site. Although the proposal offers a lower monthly service cost, it does not include connectivity to Sierra View Medical Center and would require additional services to complete the radio network. The proposal also includes a one-time installation cost of $5,400.

Vendor Comparison
Vendor Coverage Term Service Installation
Spectrum All Sites 36 Months $1,680/month $0
AT&T All Sites NP $1,725/month NP
OACYS PD to SH 5 Years $1,485/month $5,400
Legend PD – Police Department
SH – Scenic Heights Radio Site
NP – Not Provided
Based on the evaluation, staff recommends Spectrum Business because it is the only vendor that provides a complete fiber-based solution connecting all three required sites under a single agreement with no installation costs. The proposed service exceeds the operational requirements established by Motorola Solutions while providing the most complete and cost-effective solution for the City's upgraded public safety radio system.

Approval of this agreement will provide the communications backbone necessary to support the Police Radio System Upgrade Project, improving the reliability, coverage, and interoperability of emergency communications for police officers and other first responders throughout the City.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

1. Approve a thirty-six (36) month agreement with Spectrum Business to provide Ethernet Private Line network connectivity services supporting the Police Radio System Upgrade Project; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement, subject to final approval by the City Attorney.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – AUGUST 4, 2026
SUBJECT: Authorization to Utilize Funds for the Public Works Conference Room, Warehouse, and Breakroom Improvement Project
SOURCE: Public Works
COMMENT: The Public Works Conference Room serves as the department's primary meeting space for operational meetings, employee training, safety briefings, project coordination, interviews, consultant meetings, and collaboration with contractors, regulatory agencies, and other City departments. The room has not undergone significant improvements in many years and no longer provides the functionality or technology necessary to effectively support these activities.

The proposed Conference Room Improvement Project will modernize the space and improve its functionality to better serve Public Works staff and visitors.

Planned improvements include:
• Interior painting of the conference room.
• Replacement of conference room furniture and seating. • Installation of modern audiovisual equipment, including a wall-mounted display and video conferencing capabilities.
• Improvements to cabinetry, storage, and workspace organization. • Minor aesthetic enhancements to create a more professional and welcoming environment.

In addition to the conference room improvements, the project includes minor remodels of the Public Works warehouse and employee break room. These improvements will modernize and enhance the functionality of both spaces by providing better organization, improving employee work areas, and creating a more efficient and professional work environment. Planned improvements may include interior painting, cabinetry and storage enhancements, and other aesthetic and functional upgrades as needed.

The proposed improvements will enhance employee training opportunities, strengthen collaboration among Public Works divisions, provide a professional setting for meetings with consultants, contractors, and regulatory agencies, and support more efficient project coordination and communication. Improvements Item No. 10.
to the warehouse and break room will further support daily operations by creating functional and well-maintained spaces for staff use.

The project will be completed primarily by City staff, maximizing the value of the investment while minimizing construction and labor costs. Funding for this project was included in the adopted Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Water Operating Fund Budget as part of the department's ongoing efforts to improve operational efficiency and modernize employee workspaces.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council authorize the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $30,000 from the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Water
Operating Fund Budget for the Public Works Conference Room, Warehouse, and Breakroom Improvement Project.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – AUGUST 4, 2026
SUBJECT: Approval of a Sixty-Month Lease with Quadient and Maintenance Agreement with JMP Office Technologies for Mail Processing Equipment SOURCE: Finance
COMMENT: The City’s centralized mail processing equipment is used daily to prepare and distribute utility bills, business licenses, payroll documents, accounts payable checks, legal notices, and other official City correspondence. The current lease agreement for the City’s mail processing machine and folder inserter expires on October 1, 2026. Staff is requesting approval of a new sixty-month lease and maintenance agreement to replace the existing equipment and ensure the continued, reliable operation of the City’s centralized mailing services.

The replacement equipment will provide significant operational improvements, including enhanced automation, improved documentprocessing accuracy, reduced equipment downtime, expanded reporting capabilities, and more efficient preparation of multi-page mailings. These improvements will reduce manual processing, improve reliability, and increase productivity for the City departments that rely on centralized mailing services.

In accordance with the City’s Purchasing Policy, the Finance Department solicited proposals through the NASPO ValuePoint Cooperative Purchasing Program. Three qualified vendors were contacted, resulting in the following:

Vendor Total 60-Month Cost
JMP Office Technologies $40,019.40
Pitney Bowes $43,384.20
FP Mailing Solutions No response
The City’s Purchasing Policy authorizes the use of cooperative purchasing contracts in place of a separate formal bid process. Although the previous lease renewal was administratively executed, staff is bringing the proposed agreements before the City Council to ensure consistency with the City’s current purchasing procedures and approval practices.

Staff recommends approval of the lease agreement with Quadient and the maintenance agreement with JMP Office Technologies. JMP submitted the Item No. 11.
lowest responsive proposal, resulting in an estimated savings of $3,364.80 over the five-year lease term compared with Pitney Bowes. The proposal also includes local installation, maintenance, and service support.

In addition, JMP will provide the newly released DS-77 iQ folder inserter system in place of the originally proposed DS64 model at no additional cost.

The upgraded equipment provides expanded functionality and greater operational flexibility, including improved document collating, folding, inserting, reporting, and automated processing capabilities.

The total cost of the sixty-month lease is $40,019.40, plus applicable taxes.

Funding is available within the Finance Department’s adopted operating budget. Upon approval, the replacement equipment will be installed before expiration of the current lease to ensure uninterrupted mail-processing operations.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

1. Approve a sixty-month lease agreement with Quadient and a maintenance agreement with JMP Office Technologies for a mail processing machine and folder inserter system in an amount of $40,019.40, plus applicable taxes; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreements and any related non-substantive documents necessary to implement them.

These systems were implemented in 2021 under an agreement with a monthly service rate of $666.30.

CHALLENGES
There are several operational tasks currently being completed, many of which require manual intervention due to limitations of the existing system.

Relay 3500 Inserting Machine
•Replacing current model would be with the same equipment and would not provide any technological improvements or process efficiencies.
•The machine frequently experiences jams and stalls that are difficult to access and resolve internally, often requiring a service technician. This results in additional downtime, which can extend to several days. •The Relay 3500 is unable to collate and fold multiple documents simultaneously prior to insertion. Instead, documents are stacked and inserted separately, reducing processing efficiency by approximately 50% and requiring recipients to manually separate each page from the envelope upon receipt.
•Business reply envelopes often require manual processing due to frequent machine jams. •Mid-month statements can contain up to five pages per envelope, requiring staff to manually separate, collate, and prepare each document set. This process is highly labor-intensive and typically requires two full days to complete manually. •Departmental reporting is being pulled directly from the current mailing system and reports are manually being created and sent to the department for reconciliation.

Opportunities & Impact
Upgrading to the new Quadient mailing and document processing systems presents a significant opportunity to modernize operations, improve workflow efficiency, and enhance service reliability across departments. The proposed solution delivers measurable operational improvements while positioning the organization for long-term scalability and growth.

Operational Efficiency & Reliability
•Local service and support help minimize downtime while providing proactive preventative maintenance to ensure equipment operates at peak efficiency—not only when issues arise. •A dedicated point of contact is available for additional support needs, ensuring responsive and streamlined communication. •Easy access to the paper path on both the mailing and inserting systems allows for quick issue identification and resolution, reducing interruptions to production.
•The inserting system is capable of collating, folding, and inserting documents with minimal reduction in processing speed. •Departmental online reporting is accessible through a desktop web portal, enabling users to generate and distribute reports electronically without operating directly from the mailing system.

Enhanced User Experience
The proposed intelligent inserting technology introduces advanced barcode and variable-page processing capabilities that significantly reduce manual intervention and improve accuracy. •Optional barcode-reading technology can be leveraged for intelligent variable-page processing.Variable-page documents can be processed with barcodes that are securely read by the intelligent inserter system. •Eliminates human error associated with manual document matching and verification. •Removes the need for manual page-count sorting, reducing processing time from approximately two days to just minutes. •Mid-month statements can be completed and mailed the same day, resulting in an estimated savings of approximately $450 per month.

Business Impact
By automating labor-intensive processes and reducing manual handling requirements, the organization can improve productivity, increase mailing accuracy, and accelerate turnaround times. The upgraded solution also supports better accountability through reporting and analytics, while reducing operational risk associated with manual processing workflows.

Overall, the investment in the new Quadient mailing and document processing systems provides both immediate operational benefits and long-term value through increased efficiency, improved accuracy, reduced downtime, and enhanced customer service capabilities.

Item No. 12.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – AUGUST 4, 2026
SUBJECT: Acceptance of Preliminary Quarterly Financial Status Reports – June 30, 2026 SOURCE: Finance
COMMENT: In accordance with City Charter requirements and Council Minute Order No. 10-011607, staff is providing the preliminary quarterly financial status reports for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The purpose of these reports is to provide the City Council with an overview of the City's preliminary year-end financial performance, compare actual revenues and expenditures to the adopted budget, and identify significant financial trends across all major operating funds. The financial information presented is preliminary and remains subject to year-end accounting adjustments and the City's annual independent audit.

The attached report provides a comparison of the City's adopted budget to preliminary year-end revenues and expenditures across all departments and major operating funds. As of June 30, 2026, preliminary General Fund revenues totaled approximately $48.8 million (96.5%), while General Fund expenditures totaled approximately $36.4 million (96.9%) of the amended budget. Overall, departments have generally operated within their authorized appropriations, reflecting continued fiscal discipline throughout the fiscal year.

Final financial results may change as year-end accruals, grant reimbursements, and audit adjustments are completed.

Key preliminary observations include:
• General Fund: Revenues and expenditures are generally tracking consistent with the adopted budget, with overall expenditures remaining within appropriated funding levels.
• Revenue Performance: Property tax revenues exceeded budget projections, while sales tax and utility users tax generally performed within anticipated levels.
• Department Operations: Most City departments concluded the fiscal year within their authorized appropriations, demonstrating continued fiscal stewardship and responsible budget management.
• Enterprise Funds: Water, Sewer, and Solid Waste operations continue to report positive operating results, while the Golf Course continues to require operational subsidy support consistent with prior years.

Item No. 12.
• Voter-Approved Revenues: Measure H and Measure I continue to provide significant funding for public safety, street maintenance, and other voter-approved community priorities.

The attached Five-Year Trend Analysis provides additional context by illustrating historical General Fund revenue and expenditure trends, as well as financial activity by fund type. These trends assist the City Council in evaluating the City's long-term financial performance and identifying changes in revenue and expenditure patterns over time.

Overall, the City's preliminary financial position remains stable. General Fund revenues and expenditures are generally consistent with the adopted budget, departments have largely operated within their authorized appropriations, and enterprise operations continue to perform as expected. While the financial results presented remain preliminary pending completion of year-end accounting entries and the annual audit, staff believes the City remains on sound financial footing as it begins Fiscal Year 2026-2027.

Staff will continue finalizing year-end accounting entries, preparing the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), and coordinating with the City's independent auditors. Any significant adjustments identified during the audit process will be presented to the City Council as part of the audited financial statements.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council accept the Preliminary Quarterly Financial Status Reports for the period ending June 30, 2026, as
presented.

Item No. 13.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – AUGUST 4, 2026
SUBJECT: Acceptance of the Quarterly Investment Portfolio Summary SOURCE: Finance
COMMENT: The attached Investment Portfolio Summary demonstrates that the City's investment portfolio remains financially strong, diversified, and fully compliant with California Government Code requirements and the City's Investment Policy. As of June 30, 2026, the City's investment portfolio totaled approximately $126.5 million and continues to be managed with an emphasis on safety, liquidity, and prudent investment returns.

The City's investment program is guided by three primary objectives established by California law and the City's Investment Policy:

Safety. The portfolio remains well diversified among permitted investment types, including local government investment pools, federal agency securities, corporate notes, and certificates of deposit. Staff reports that all investments remain in full compliance with applicable California Government Code requirements and the City's Investment Policy.

Liquidity. Approximately 30.1 percent of the portfolio is invested in highly liquid assets, ensuring sufficient cash is available to meet the City's operational and capital funding needs without requiring the sale of longer-term investments.

Yield. The portfolio currently earns a weighted average rate of return of 3.548 percent with a weighted average maturity of 701 days. Although market interest rates have fluctuated during the past year, the City's long-term investment strategy continues to provide stable returns while preserving principal and maintaining adequate liquidity.

As illustrated in the attached Investment Portfolio Summary, the weighted average rate of return has increased from 1.588 percent in 2022 to 3.548 percent as of June 30, 2026, reflecting improved market conditions and prudent investment management while maintaining the City's conservative investment objectives.

Item No. 13.

Overall, the City's investment portfolio remains financially sound, providing a balanced approach that protects public funds, maintains sufficient liquidity to support City operations, and maximizes investment earnings within the limitations established by California law and the City's Investment Policy.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council accept the Quarterly Investment Portfolio Summary for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – AUGUST 4, 2026
SUBJECT: Program Supplement No. B059 to the Administering Agency-State Agreement for the Non-Infrastructure Component of the Tule River Tribe Complete Streets and Two Pedestrian Bridges Project
SOURCE: Planning and Engineering
COMMENT: The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has prepared Program Supplement No. B059 to the existing Administering Agency-State Agreement for State Funded Projects No. 06-5122S21. Approval of the Program Supplement is required to authorize reimbursement of eligible costs associated with the non-infrastructure component of the Tule River Tribe Complete Streets and Two Pedestrian Bridges Project.

Program Supplement No. B059 does not authorize a new project or expand the approved scope of work. Rather, it incorporates the State's project-specific funding authorization into the existing Master Agreement previously executed between the City and Caltrans and establishes the terms and conditions necessary for reimbursement of eligible project costs.

The Program Supplement provides $40,000 in State Active Transportation Program (ATP) funding for the non-infrastructure component of the project and does not require a local funding match. The non-infrastructure component supports activities associated with implementation of the Tule River Tribe Complete Streets and Two Pedestrian Bridges Project in accordance with the approved Active Transportation Program funding allocation.

Execution of the Program Supplement will preserve the City's eligibility for State reimbursement, ensure compliance with Caltrans funding requirements, and allow continued implementation of the Active Transportation Program project.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

1. Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Program Supplement No. B059 to the Administering Agency-State Agreement for State Funded Projects No. 06- 5122S21; and
Item No. 16.

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to take all actions necessary to implement Program Supplement No. B059.

1. A. This PROJECT will be administered in accordance with the applicable CTC STIP guidelines and the Active Transportation Program guidelines as adopted or amended, the Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM), the Local Assistance Program Guidelines (LAPG), and this PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT.

B. This PROJECT is programmed to receive State funds from the Active Transportation Program (ATP). Funding may be provided under one or more components. A component(s) specific fund allocation is required, in addition to other requirements, before reimbursable work can occur for the component(s) identified. Each allocation will be assigned an effective date and identify the amount of funds allocated per component(s).

This PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT has been prepared to allow reimbursement of eligible PROJECT expenditures for the component(s) allocated. Unless otherwise determined, the effective date of the component specific allocation will constitute the start of reimbursable expenditures.

C. STATE and ADMINISTERING AGENCY agree that any additional funds made available by future allocations will be encumbered on this PROJECT by use of a STATE-approved Allocation Letter and STATE Finance Letter. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees that STATE funds available for reimbursement will be limited to the amount allocated by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) and/or the STATE.

D. Upon ADMINISTERING AGENCY request, the CTC and/or STATE may approve supplementary allocations, time extensions, and fund transfers between components. Funds transferred between allocated project components retain their original timely use of funds deadlines, but an approved time extension will revise the timely use of funds criteria for the component(s) and allocation(s) requested. Approved supplementary allocations, time extensions, and fund transfers between components made after the execution of this PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT will be documented and considered subject to the terms and conditions thereof.

Documentation will consist of a STATE approved Allocation Letter, Fund Transfer Letter, Time Extension Letter, and Finance Letter, as appropriate.

Item No. 17.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – AUGUST 4, 2026
SUBJECT: Public Hearing and First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 2, Article IV of the Porterville Municipal Code Relating to the Code Enforcement Section SOURCE: Planning and Engineering
COMMENT: As part of the City's organizational realignment that became effective July 1, 2026, the Code Enforcement function was administratively transferred from the Fire Department to the Building Division within the Planning and Engineering Department. The proposed ordinance updates Chapter 2, Article IV of the Porterville Municipal Code to reflect the City's current organizational structure and clarifies the authority, organization, and responsibilities of the Code Enforcement Section.

Locating the Code Enforcement Section within the Building Division aligns code enforcement activities with permitting, inspections, zoning administration, business licensing, property maintenance, nuisance abatement, and development review. This centralized organizational structure improves communication, promotes consistent enforcement, streamlines customer service, and enhances coordination among staff responsible for land use regulation and code compliance.

The proposed ordinance is organizational and administrative in nature and does not expand the City's existing code enforcement authority or create new regulatory requirements. Existing enforcement powers remain unchanged. The ordinance modernizes the Municipal Code by updating procedural language, clarifying administrative responsibilities, incorporating current references to applicable California law, and reflecting accepted municipal code enforcement practices. The ordinance also preserves the independent enforcement authority of the Fire Department, Fire Marshal, Police Department, and other City officials where authorized by state law or the Municipal Code.

Key updates included in the proposed ordinance include:
• Establishes the Code Enforcement Section within the Building Division of the Planning and Engineering Department.
• Clarifies supervisory and administrative responsibilities for the Building Official and code enforcement personnel.

Item No. 17.
• Updates enforcement authority to reflect current California law and accepted municipal code enforcement practices.
• Adds inspection warrant procedures and administrative enforcement remedies.
• Preserves the independent enforcement authority of the Fire Department and other City officials.
• Continues to emphasize voluntary compliance while maintaining appropriate administrative and legal enforcement tools.

The proposed ordinance has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council conduct the public hearing; receive public testimony; waive a full reading and introduce, by title only, the proposed ordinance amending Chapter 2, Article IV of the Porterville Municipal Code relating to the Code Enforcement Section; and direct the City Clerk to place the ordinance on the next regular meeting agenda for second reading and adoption.

Item No. 18.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – AUGUST 4, 2026
SUBJECT: Public Hearing and First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 15 of the Porterville Municipal Code Relating to the Administrative Transfer of Business License Functions
SOURCE: Planning and Engineering
COMMENT: As part of the City's organizational realignment that became effective July 1, 2026, responsibility for administering the Business License Division was transferred from the Finance Department to the Planning and Engineering Department. Because Chapter 15 of the Porterville Municipal Code continues to reference the former organizational structure, amendments are necessary to ensure the Municipal Code accurately reflects the City's current administrative responsibilities.

The proposed ordinance is administrative in nature and does not modify the City's existing business license requirements, license fees, penalties, appeal procedures, or regulatory standards unless specifically identified within the ordinance. Rather, the amendments transfer administrative authority for business license functions to the Director of Planning and Engineering, or designee, and update departmental references throughout Chapter 15 to reflect the City's current organizational structure.

Locating the Business License Division within the Planning and Engineering Department improves coordination between business licensing, planning, zoning, building permits, certificates of occupancy, development review, and code compliance activities. This organizational alignment provides a more streamlined process for businesses while improving internal coordination, operational efficiency, and customer service.

Key updates included in the proposed ordinance include:
• Transfers administrative responsibility for business license functions from the Finance Department to the Planning and Engineering Department.
• Updates departmental titles and administrative authority throughout Chapter 15.
• Designates the Director of Planning and Engineering, or designee, as Item No. 18.
the administrator of business license functions.
• Maintains the City's existing business license requirements, fees, penalties, and regulatory standards unless expressly amended. • Aligns the Municipal Code with the City's current organizational structure and administrative practices.

The proposed ordinance has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney. Following introduction at this meeting, the ordinance will return to the City Council for second reading and adoption.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council conduct the public hearing; receive public testimony; waive a full reading and introduce, by title only, the proposed ordinance amending Chapter 15 of the Porterville Municipal Code relating to the administrative transfer of Business License functions; and direct the City Clerk to place the ordinance on the next regular meeting agenda for second reading and adoption.

a. The practice of "fortune telling", as defined in this subsection, has historically been subject to abuse by certain unscrupulous practitioners using the practice to commit fraud and larceny upon clients.
b. It is the purpose of this subsection to regulate the practice of fortune telling in such a manner as to reduce the risk of fraud and larceny to clients while allowing fortune tellers to provide their services to clients with only minimal restrictions.
c. The provisions of this subsection requiring a permit, posting of fees, providing receipts and allowing client recordation of the consultation, will make it more difficult for an unscrupulous fortune teller to commit fraud or larceny, and yet, as informational regulations, will not affect the nature of the information conveyed by the fortune teller nor the manner in which it is conveyed. These regulations require only minimal expense and effort on the part of the fortune teller and will not, therefore, impose any undue burden on their practices.
d. "Fortune telling" for entertainment purposes, as defined in this subsection, does not create the same risk of fraud and larceny by an unscrupulous practitioner as would the practice with an individual client because it is done with a group at a public place for the purpose of entertaining and not to deal with the private concerns of an individual.
e. For these and other reasons, the provisions of this subsection are necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of the community.

2. Permit Required: No person shall conduct, engage in, carry on, participate in, or practice fortune telling or cause the same to be done for pay without having first obtained a permit therefor.
