CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – OCTOBER 20, 2026
SUBJECT: 1. Fire Department Fitness Equipment Acquisition Through Cal-JAC SOURCE: Fire
COMMENT: The Fire Department is acquiring $48,822.73 in fitness equipment from Rogue Fitness to upgrade and standardize equipment available at each fire station.

Maintaining physical fitness is essential to firefighter safety and operational readiness due to the physically demanding nature of emergency response. This investment will provide personnel with consistent access to equipment necessary to maintain the strength, conditioning, and physical preparedness required to safely perform their duties.

The equipment will be funded and purchased through the California Firefighter Joint Apprenticeship Committee (Cal-JAC), a statewide labor-management partnership supporting firefighter apprenticeship, education, and training.

Through the Department's participation in Cal-JAC, funding generated from eligible training and apprenticeship hours can be reinvested into equipment and resources that support firefighter training and development.

Cal-JAC will administer the purchase directly from Rogue Fitness on behalf of the Fire Department. The total cost of $48,822.73 will be fully funded through Cal-JAC, with no City funds required.

SCHEDULED MATTERS

19. AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR THE PAVEMENT PRESERVATION

PROJECT
Recommendation: That the City Council:

1. Award the Pavement Preservation Project to VSS International in the amount of $989,120;

2. Authorize a ten percent (10%) construction contingency;

3. Authorize an additional ten percent (10%) for construction management, construction surveying, quality assurance, materials testing, and inspection services;

4. Appropriate an additional $86,944 in Measure R Local Funds to fully fund the project; and

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

Alternatively, if the City Council determines that the bid exceeds an acceptable threshold, reject all bids and direct staff to re-advertise the project.

City Manager Tree introduced the item and Planning and Engineering Department Director Clayton Dignam presented the staff report, which will rehabilitate approximately 8.44 lane miles of city streets through preventative maintenance treatments, including slurry seals and surface rejuvenation sprays. Streets to be treated include segments of Date, Orange, Lime, North Grand Avenue, and Henderson Avenue. The city received one responsive bid from VSS International in the amount of $989,120, which was approximately 11.46% above the engineer's estimate of $877,513.

Although the city's general practice is to reject bids exceeding the estimate by more than 10%, staff recommended proceeding with the award due to ongoing market volatility, limited contractor availability, and the risk of cost escalation if the project were re-advertised.

Project Manager Sarah Weaver provided additional context, noting that North Grand Avenue had last been treated approximately 14 years ago, and that the preventative treatments selected cost less than 5% of full reconstruction while adding an estimated 20–25% to the road's service life. The total estimated project cost, including a 10% construction contingency and 10% for construction management services, is $1,186,944. An additional appropriation of $86,944 in Measure R Local Funds is required to fully fund the project.

Mayor Meister expressed support for proceeding, noting the critical nature of the roads affected and the impracticality of rebidding.

Council Member Beltran asked about the types of treatments being applied, and Project Manager Weaver explained that most sections would receive a Type 2 slurry seal, the North Grand section would receive a deep grind followed by new asphalt and slurry seal, and the Henderson Avenue segment would receive a Reclamite spray treatment suited to its newer pavement condition.

COUNCIL ACTION: MOVED by Mayor Meister, SECONDED by Council Member Rivas that the City Council to award the Pavement Preservation Project to VSS International in the amount of $989,120; authorize a 10% construction contingency; authorize an additional 10% for construction management, surveying, quality assurance, materials testing, and inspection services; and appropriate an additional $86,944 in Measure R Local Funds to fully fund the project. The motion carried unanimously.

SCHEDULED MATTERS

1. AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE AXON STANDARDS
Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the addition of Axon Standards to the City's existing Axon Enterprise Agreement for the remaining 54 months of the agreement at a total cost not to exceed $73,497, and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all documents necessary to complete the purchase.

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

Council Member Beltran pulled this item to seek clarification on a provision in the Axon agreement permitting the company to access footage for troubleshooting purposes. He expressed concern about the potential use of footage for training without the City's consent, referencing broader public concern about surveillance-related data sharing.

City Manager Tree displayed the relevant contract language. City Attorney Crouch clarified that the provision authorizes access solely for diagnostic and troubleshooting purposes, and that the City retains all intellectual property rights to its content. Interim Police Chief Bobby Rader further clarified that Axon Standards is a separate platform from Axon Evidence, used strictly for internal oversight, administrative reviews, and internal affairs investigations.

14. APPROVAL OF COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALIST CLASSIFICATION AND JOB

DESCRIPTION
Recommendation: That the City Council:

1. Approve the establishment of the Communications Specialist classification at Range 232 ($6,627 - $8,087); and

2. Approve the proposed job description for Communications Specialist.

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

Mayor Meister proposed amending the salary range from the staff-recommended Range 232 ($6,627–$8,087/month) down to Range 210 ($5,323–$6,496/month, approximately $63,876– $77,952 annually). City Manager Tree confirmed that Range 210 is closely aligned with Tulare County's comparable Media Specialist position and is approximately $5,000 below the City of Visalia's starting rate for a similar role. Mayor Meister noted that the step system allows flexibility to bring in a highly qualified candidate at a higher step if warranted.

Council Member Beltran expressed general support for the concept of a communications position but argued the salary should be lower, or the position should be considered part-time, given that the city's budget situation does not merit a full-time, fully benefited position at this level. He noted that he personally manages social media as a side activity and questioned whether a full-time hire is necessary.

Council Member Green stated he supported the position in concept but preferred to slow the process down and think it through more carefully before approving.

Council Member Rivas expressed support for moving forward at the lower salary, stating the city needs improved public communication and that a part-time arrangement would likely be insufficient to attract qualified candidates.

Vice Mayor McKervey concurred with Mayor Meister's proposal and offered no further objections.

COUNCIL ACTION: MOVED by Mayor Meister, SECONDED by Council Member Rivas that the City Council approve the Communications Specialist classification at Salary Range 210 ($5,323 - $6,496).

3. Direct the City Manager and City Attorney to prepare the appropriate amendment to Chapter 15.20 of the Porterville Municipal Code consistent with City Council direction.

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

Mayor Meister proposed expanding the downtown entertainment zone to encompass the area bounded by Olive to Morton Avenue and Third Street to D Street, incorporating adjacent parking lots, while also expanding the program to include the Porterville Sports Complex. He clarified that the fairgrounds fall outside City jurisdiction. He expressed support for keeping the $10 wristband fee unchanged, noting the fee functions as a commitment mechanism for participants.

Vice Mayor McKervey concurred, acknowledging that the $10 fee generated some debate but serves as a form of self-policing. He noted the expansion allows for more flexibility in event design while ensuring that future individual events can still be scoped appropriately within the broader zone.

Council Member Beltran expressed support for the parking lot expansion but asked staff to verify that no sensitive uses, such as sober living facilities, are located in proximity to areas where alcohol would be permitted. He noted his preference to focus the program on the original downtown revitalization goal before expanding further, expressing some concern about spreading the zone citywide after only one event. He affirmed that the $10 fee should remain to support program cost recovery.

Council Members Rivas and Green offered no objections.

COUNCIL ACTION: MOVED by Mayor Meister, SECONDED by Vice Mayor McKervey that the City Council expand the Entertainment Zone to include the area from Olive Avenue to Morton Avenue and Third Street to D Street, including adjacent parking lots, and extend the Entertainment Zone to the Porterville Sports Complex, while maintaining the $10 wristband fee; and direct the City Manager and City Attorney to prepare the appropriate amendment to Chapter 15.20 of the Porterville Municipal Code consistent with City Council direction.

19. CONSIDERATION OF A COURTESY LEAK ADJUSTMENT PROGRAM FOR UTILITY

CUSTOMERS
Recommendation: That the City Council:

1. Approve the Courtesy Leak Adjustment Program and associated Program Guidelines as presented, with any modifications directed by the City Council; and

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to take the administrative actions necessary to implement the program.

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

Mayor Meister noted the program was prompted by recurring situations in which residents, businesses, and churches came before the Council after incurring high bills due to undetected leaks and received no relief. He characterized the program as an act of grace toward constituents while reinforcing the importance of prompt leak repairs.

Council Member Green asked how staff would distinguish an unintended leak from a case such as a sprinkler system left running over a weekend. City Manager Tree clarified that intentional or avoidable water use is explicitly excluded; only verified, unintended failures, such as a broken valve or underground line, qualify, and documentation from a professional repair is required.

Council Member Rivas expressed support.

Vice Mayor McKervey supported the program, emphasizing the need to guard against abuse while providing meaningful relief in legitimate cases. He noted that subsurface leaks can be especially difficult to detect and can cause significant financial harm to families and businesses. He noted that quarterly staff updates would be provided.

COUNCIL ACTION: MOVED by Council Member Rivas, SECONDED by Mayor Meister that the City Council approve the Courtesy Leak Adjustment Program and associated Program Guidelines and authorize the City Manager to implement the program.

SCHEDULED MATTERS

6. REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR EMERGENCY CALL BOXES
Recommendation: That the City Council authorize staff to distribute a Request for Proposals for two (2) emergency call boxes along the Tule River Parkway.

City Manager Tree introduced the item.

Mayor Meister explained his decision to pull this item, noting concerns about cellular reliability for the proposed LTE-based call boxes in areas where personal phones already lack signal, potential liability if devices fail during an emergency, and vulnerability to vandalism. He acknowledged, however, that this item only authorizes an RFP process, meaning the matter would return to Council with actual pricing and vendor details before any commitment is made. He also noted that this initiative had been championed by Council Member Beltran.

Vice Mayor McKervey contextualized the discussion, noting the Council had debated the same concerns six to eight months earlier. He emphasized that the city has taken a multi-faceted approach to safety in open spaces, including drone programs and updated policing methods, and that the RFP is intended as a controlled test of one or two devices to determine feasibility before any broader deployment.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – OCTOBER 20, 2026
SUBJECT: Purchase of Wireless Communication Equipment for Fire Department Training SOURCE: Fire
COMMENT: The Porterville Fire Department is requesting authorization to purchase wireless communication equipment to support driver training operations for the Department's tiller ladder truck. Operating this specialized apparatus requires coordination between the driver operating the front of the truck and the tiller operator steering the rear. During training, instructors must also be positioned outside the apparatus to observe vehicle movement, clearances, and operator performance.

The proposed wireless communication system will allow the driver, tiller operator, and instructors to maintain continuous communication throughout training exercises. This capability will improve training efficiency, enhance personnel safety, and allow instructors to provide immediate direction during vehicle operations.

The proposed purchase includes five wireless headsets, one communication hub, and one charging case.

In accordance with the City's purchasing policy, the Department solicited quotations from three vendors specializing in wireless communication equipment. The results are summarized below:

Vendor Quote
Elevated Fire Supply $8,852.60
Fire Com $9,263.33
Magnum Electronics No Response
Staff determined that Elevated Fire Supply submitted the lowest responsive quotation. The total purchase price is $8,852.60, including applicable sales tax and shipping.

A 10% contingency of $885.26 is recommended to accommodate potential adjustments in taxes, shipping, or equipment costs, resulting in a total purchase amount not to exceed $9,737.86.

Item No. 2.

Funding is available in the FY 2026/27 Fire Department Training Budget through Measure H.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

1. Approve the purchase of wireless communication equipment from Elevated Fire Supply for Fire Department tiller ladder truck driver training in the amount of $8,852.60; and

2. Authorize a 10% contingency of $885.26, for a total purchase amount not to exceed $9,737.86.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – OCTOBER 20, 2026
SUBJECT: Purchase of Veterans Day Run Shirts
SOURCE: Parks and Leisure Services
COMMENT: The Veterans Day Run is held annually in Downtown Porterville on Veterans Day. The event features a 5K run, 5K walk, and 10K run, beginning at 7:30 a.m. before the Veterans Day Parade. Participation has grown significantly, with more than 1,800 individuals registered in 2025.

Race registration includes a long-sleeved shirt, reusable tote, and commemorative race bib. The shirts have become a popular keepsake for participants and contribute to the patriotic spirit of the event.

Staff solicited quotes from three local businesses for the production of Veterans Day Run shirts, including a three-color front design and single-color back design. Quotes were based on an estimated quantity of 2,100 shirts to accommodate continued growth in participation. The final quantity will be determined based on participant registration. Two businesses submitted quotes, while the third did not respond.

Vendor Per unit price
Axiom Graphics $12.00
On Point Graphics $12.58
Glory Graphics Non-responsive
Axiom Graphics submitted the lowest quote at $12 per shirt. An additional $2 per shirt applies to sizes above extra-large, as confirmed by staff with the vendor.

Axiom Graphics has successfully produced the Veterans Day Run shirts for several years, and staff has been satisfied with the quality of its products and service. Based on the competitive pricing, demonstrated performance, and ability to meet the event's production requirements, staff recommends purchasing the shirts from Axiom Graphics.

The $25 race registration fee, supplemented by community sponsorships, helps offset the cost of shirts and other event expenses. Funding is available in Item No. 3.
the FY 2026–27 General Fund Parks and Leisure Services Special Programs budget.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the purchase of Veterans Day Run shirts from Axiom Graphics at a cost of $12 per shirt, plus an additional $2 per shirt for sizes above extra-large and applicable sales tax, with the final quantity determined by participant registration.

Item No. 4.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – OCTOBER 20, 2026
SUBJECT: Downtown Audio System Purchase and Installation SOURCE: City Manager's Office
COMMENT: On June 2, 2026, the City Council authorized staff to advertise a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a downtown audio system. The proposed system will provide outdoor audio coverage across approximately six downtown blocks to support community events, public announcements, background music, and other downtown activities.

Vox Audio Visual submitted the only proposal received, with a project cost of $123,933.35, excluding applicable sales tax. The proposed system includes 16 outdoor speaker stations, wireless networking and control equipment, engineering, installation, programming, and commissioning. The system is designed to provide coordinated audio coverage throughout the downtown area while minimizing the need for extensive underground wiring.

Recognizing that only one proposal was received, staff conducted additional research to evaluate the proposed cost and identify comparable municipal installations or alternative vendors capable of providing a similar system. Due to the customized and proprietary nature of the proposed system, staff was unable to identify sufficiently comparable projects or alternative providers offering an equivalent solution. Consequently, staff's ability to independently establish fair market value through direct price comparisons was limited.

To further document the proprietary nature of the proposed system, Vox Audio Visual provided a Sole Source Certification dated October 15, 2026, confirming that its Main Street Audio System is a proprietary product manufactured, assembled, and sold exclusively by Vox. Although the system incorporates commercially available components, Vox identifies its integrated system design, wireless architecture, firmware, and control capabilities as proprietary. The certification supports staff's findings regarding the limited availability of directly comparable systems and vendors; however, it does not independently establish fair market value.

Staff reviewed the proposed equipment, labor, engineering, installation, and programming costs in relation to the overall project scope. Although the Item No. 4.
absence of comparable proposals limits independent price verification, the proposal provides a defined scope of work and an itemized project cost. Staff recommends proceeding with the project based on the proposed system's capabilities, anticipated community benefits, and available funding, subject to final review of the agreement, scope, and pricing.

The project is funded through the FY 2026–27 Measure I budget, with an appropriation of $150,000. The proposed project budget is summarized below:

Description Amount
Vox Audio Visual Proposal $123,933.35
Estimated sales tax $8,562.07
Subtotal $132,495.42
10% contingency $13,249.54
Vox Audio Total Not to Exceed $145,744.96
City labor $4,255.04
Total Project Cost $150,000.00
The City will be responsible for providing electrical power at speaker locations, obtaining necessary approvals, and coordinating installation access. The remaining project funds will be available for City labor, electrical work, and installation assistance.

The system will also require ongoing internet connectivity, music licensing subscriptions, and periodic maintenance. Vox Audio Visual offers an optional annual service and support package of $2,500. Internet connectivity and SONOS Pro subscription costs will be billed separately after the first year.

These recurring expenses will be evaluated and incorporated into future operating budgets as appropriate.

Final speaker locations will be determined during the engineering phase. Prior to execution, the final agreement will be reviewed to confirm the scope of work, pricing, payment terms, warranty provisions, and project acceptance requirements.

Staff recommends approval of the proposed downtown audio system as an investment in downtown infrastructure that will support community events, improve communication capabilities, and enhance the downtown experience.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

1. Approve the purchase and installation of the Downtown Audio System from Vox Audio Visual in the amount of $132,495.42, including estimated sales tax;

2. Authorize a 10% contingency of $13,249.54, for a total Item No. 4.
contract amount not to exceed $145,744.96;

3. Authorize the use of remaining project funds for City labor, electrical work, and installation assistance, maintaining a total project budget not to exceed $150,000; and

4. Authorize the City Manager or designee to negotiate and execute the necessary agreement and related documents,
subject to City Attorney approval as to form and confirmation of acceptable pricing, payment terms, and performance
requirements.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – OCTOBER 20, 2026
SUBJECT: Traffic Signal Conduit Replacement at D Street and Morton Avenue SOURCE: Transportation
COMMENT: At its August 18, 2026, meeting, the City Council authorized the upgrade of the traffic signal at D Street and Morton Avenue by Minute Order No. 07-081826.

During removal of the existing wiring in preparation for the upgrade, City staff discovered damaged conduit beneath Morton Avenue. Further inspection identified an additional damaged conduit crossing D Street. Both damaged conduit runs must be abandoned and replaced before the traffic signal upgrade can be completed.

Due to the location of the damaged conduits, the replacement work requires boring beneath both roadways to install new conduit. Upon completion, City staff will install the new traffic signal wiring and proceed with the previously authorized upgrade.

Staff requested estimates from three vendors, with two vendors responding:

Vendor Estimate
Race Communications $23,500.00
A-C Electric Company $36,417.00
Loop Electric Non-responsive
Race Communications submitted the lowest estimate at $23,500. The scope includes approximately 180 feet of boring and installation of 4-inch conduit to replace both damaged crossings, including all required labor, materials, traffic control, and restoration.

Staff recommends authorizing Race Communications to complete the conduit replacement work in an amount not to exceed $25,850, including a 10% contingency for unforeseen conditions.

Funding is available in the FY 2026–27 Signs and Signals Upgrade Budget. Upon completion of the conduit replacement, City staff will proceed with the Item No. 5.
previously authorized traffic signal upgrade.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

1. Authorize Race Communications to replace the damaged traffic signal conduit at D Street and Morton Avenue, including both required crossings, in an amount not to exceed $25,850, inclusive of a 10% contingency; and

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the necessary documents to complete the work within the approved amount, subject to compliance with applicable City
requirements.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – OCTOBER 20, 2026
SUBJECT: Payment for Firefighter Pre-Employment Psychological Evaluations SOURCE: Fire
COMMENT: The Porterville Fire Department is in the process of hiring ten new firefighters.

As part of the recruitment process, candidates undergo pre-employment psychological evaluations to assess their suitability for the responsibilities and demands of the firefighter position.

The Department has previously utilized Dr. Mary Valenti for these evaluations, providing consistency in the recruitment process and familiarity with the Department's operational requirements.

Dr. Valenti completed psychological evaluations for ten firefighter candidates at a cost of $500 per candidate, for a total of $5,000. Due to the number of candidates evaluated during this recruitment, the total expenditure exceeded the Department's purchasing authority under the City's purchasing policy.

Because the services have already been provided, staff requests retroactive authorization of the expenditure and approval of payment to Dr. Valenti in accordance with the City's purchasing requirements.

Funding is available in the FY 2026/27 Fire Department General Fund Professional/Temporary Services Budget.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council retroactively authorize the expenditure and approve payment to Dr. Mary Valenti in the amount of $5,000 for pre-employment psychological evaluations completed for ten firefighter candidates.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – OCTOBER 20, 2026
SUBJECT: Airfield Electrical Improvements Project - Rejection of Bids and Authorization to Rebid
SOURCE: Transportation
COMMENT: On May 19, 2026, the City Council authorized the competitive procurement process for the Airfield Electrical Improvements Project at Porterville Municipal Airport. The project will upgrade airfield electrical infrastructure, including runway lighting, apron lighting, and electrical vault equipment. The project is supported by $541,500 in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) funding.

Bids were received for the project, which included a Base Bid and Additive Alternate A. During review of the bids and project documents, staff identified conflicting provisions regarding the method for determining the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. One provision identifies the basis of award as the total of the Base Bid plus selected additive alternates, while another identifies the basis of award as the Base Bid only. Addendum No. 1 did not resolve this inconsistency.

Staff evaluated the bids using both methods and determined that each method results in a different low bidder. Because the bidding documents do not establish a clear and consistent basis of award, proceeding with a contract award could create uncertainty regarding the fairness and integrity of the competitive bidding process.

Staff recommends rejecting all bids and rebidding the project with revised bidding documents that clearly establish the basis of award. This approach will ensure that all prospective bidders compete under the same requirements and that the City can evaluate bids consistently and objectively.

Staff has determined that rebidding the project will not jeopardize the City's FAA funding or the project deadline. Following completion of the rebidding process, staff will return to the City Council with a recommendation for contract award.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

Item No. 7.

1. Reject all bids received for the Airfield Electrical Improvements Project at Porterville Municipal Airport; and

2. Authorize staff to revise the bidding documents to establish a clear and consistent basis of award and rebid the project.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – OCTOBER 20, 2026
SUBJECT: Scheduling of Public Hearing – Amendments to Porterville Municipal Code Chapter 8A Relating to Sidewalk Vending and Compliance with Senate Bill 635 SOURCE: Planning and Engineering
COMMENT: The Planning and Engineering Department requests authorization to schedule a public hearing to consider amendments to Chapter 8A of the Porterville Municipal Code relating to sidewalk vending and compliance with Senate Bill 635, the Street Vendor Business Protection Act.

Senate Bill 635 established additional requirements for local sidewalk vending programs, including restrictions on fingerprinting and background checks, protections for personally identifiable information, limitations on immigrationrelated inquiries, and requirements concerning enforcement and administrative penalties.

The proposed amendments are intended to bring Chapter 8A into compliance with state law while updating the City's sidewalk vending regulations and enforcement procedures. The amendments also reflect the transfer of sidewalk vending administration from the Finance Department to the Planning and Engineering Department.

If authorized, the City Clerk will schedule and notice a public hearing at which the City Council will receive public testimony and consider the introduction and first reading of the proposed ordinance. The amendments remain subject to further review and revision prior to adoption.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – OCTOBER 20, 2026
SUBJECT: Scheduling of Public Hearing – Amendments to Porterville Municipal Code Chapter 8 Relating to Peddlers, Solicitors, and Canvassers SOURCE: Planning and Engineering
COMMENT: The Planning and Engineering Department requests authorization to schedule a public hearing to consider amendments to Chapter 8 of the Porterville Municipal Code relating to peddlers, solicitors, and canvassers.

Chapter 8 regulates traditional peddling and solicitation activities, including door-to-door sales. Chapter 8A separately regulates sidewalk vending activities, as defined by California Government Code Section 51036.

The proposed amendment is intended to clarify that sidewalk vending activities are regulated under Chapter 8A rather than Chapter 8. This distinction will help ensure that the City's sidewalk vending regulations are administered consistently with Senate Bill 635 while preserving the City's regulation of traditional peddling and solicitation.

If authorized, the City Clerk will schedule and notice a public hearing at which the City Council will receive public testimony and consider the introduction and first reading of the proposed ordinance. The amendment remains subject to further review and revision prior to adoption.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council authorize the City Clerk to schedule and notice a public hearing to consider amendments to Chapter 8 of the Porterville Municipal Code relating to peddlers, solicitors, and canvassers, including the first reading of the proposed ordinance.

8-1: LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS:

The city council of the city of Porterville finds that the city has had past problems with door to door sales that are conducted in a manner detrimental to its community members' safety. This includes, but is not limited to, such sales occurring late at night, posing a threat to the safety of those that are solicited as well as those that engage in peddling and soliciting activities as defined below. Additionally such sales are at times misrepresented as being made by or on the behalf of charitable nonprofit organizations, and these provisions will help deter such fraudulent conduct by requiring additional accountability from those engaged in door to door sales. The public safety and convenience necessitates the exercise of police power through the enactment and enforcement of the provisions proposed. However, these provisions are not intended to limit any persons from exercising their constitutional right to solicit funds, picket, protest, proselytize, or engage in other constitutionally protected activity.

COMMENT: The Tule River Indian Tribe has submitted a Community Civic Event Application for the Tule River Powwow, scheduled for November 12–16, 2026, at the Porterville Sports Complex.

The event will include cultural activities, vendors, and overnight camping within designated areas of the Sports Complex.

The parking lot must remain available for public access and parking, and all surrounding streets and sidewalks must remain open throughout the event. Event activities, including camping, vendors, equipment, and temporary structures, shall be confined to approved areas and shall not obstruct public access or circulation.

The application has been reviewed by the applicable City departments, and conditions addressing public safety, fire prevention, insurance, park use, and event operations have been incorporated into the approval requirements.

Applicable City fees will be charged separately.

Staff recommends approval of the event for November 12–16, 2026, subject to the conditions contained in the Community Civic Event Application and Agreement and Exhibits A, B, and C, with the express condition that no closure of the Sports Complex parking lot, surrounding streets, or adjacent sidewalks is authorized.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – OCTOBER 20, 2026
SUBJECT: Pavement Preservation Project – Funding Source Correction SOURCE: Planning and Engineering
COMMENT: On August 4, 2026, the City Council awarded the Pavement Preservation Project contract to VSS International in the amount of $989,120, with a total project budget of $1,186,944. The original staff report identified Measure R Local Funds as the funding source and included an additional appropriation of $86,944 to fully fund the project.

However, the adopted FY 2026/27 Capital Improvement Program identifies Special Gas Tax Funds as the intended funding source, with an existing appropriation of $1,100,000.

Staff requests City Council approval to correct the previously identified funding source from Measure R Local Funds to Special Gas Tax Funds and authorize an additional appropriation of $86,944 from Special Gas Tax Funds. The previously approved $86,944 appropriation from Measure R Local Funds will be reversed.

The revised project funding is summarized below:

Funding Source Amount
Existing FY 2026-27 Special Gas Tax
appropriation
$1,100,000
Additional Special Gas Tax
appropriation
$86,944
Total Project Funding $1,186,944
Finance has confirmed that sufficient Special Gas Tax Funds are available, the project is an eligible use of these funds, and any expenditures previously charged to Measure R will be reclassified as necessary.

This action will align the project's funding with the adopted Capital Improvement Program and will not change the previously approved construction contract, project scope, or total project budget.

Item No. 13.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

1. Approve the correction of the funding source for the Pavement Preservation Project from Measure R Local Funds to Special Gas Tax Funds, consistent with the adopted FY 2026/27 Capital Improvement Program; and

2. Authorize an additional appropriation of $86,944 from Special Gas Tax Funds, the reversal of the previously approved $86,944 appropriation from Measure R Local Funds, and any necessary expenditure reclassifications, maintaining the total approved project budget of $1,186,944.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – OCTOBER 20, 2026
SUBJECT: River Springs Residential Subdivision Map and Planned Development Amendment (PRC 2019-040) – Continuance of Public Hearing SOURCE: Planning and Engineering
COMMENT: The River Springs Residential Development Project is scheduled for a public hearing on October 20, 2026, to consider proposed amendments to the previously approved Tentative Subdivision Map (PRC 2019-040-S) and Planned Development Plan (PRC 2019-040-PD). The project is located north of the Tule River between Newcomb Street and South Beverly Street.

The proposed amendments involve revisions to the Phase 3 residential layout, including a gated entrance, communal amenities, internal circulation, and guest parking. The proposed changes do not expand the project area or increase the previously approved residential density.

Although notice of the public hearing was published in the newspaper, an issue occurred with mailing the required notices to affected property owners.

To ensure that affected property owners receive proper notification and have an opportunity to participate, staff recommends that the City Council open the public hearing on October 20, 2026, and continue the hearing to November 3, 2026. Staff will complete all required public noticing before the continued hearing.

The proposed resolutions and supporting maps are attached for informational purposes only. Council consideration of the proposed amendments and adoption of the resolutions will occur at the continued public hearing on November 3, 2026.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council open the public hearing regarding the River Springs Residential Subdivision Map and Planned Development Amendment (PRC 2019-040) and continue the public hearing to November 3, 2026, to allow staff to complete the required notification of affected property owners.
