Re: Item 14 - car Cities Annual Conference Resolution
Dear Ms. Sessman:

As the Mayor of the City of La Veme, I would like to voice support for Glendora's tlmety and needed resolution, Within agenda item #14, for the upcoming League of California Cities (Cal Cities) annual conference this coming October 18, 2024.

In its simplistic form, the proposed Resolution states what we aN believe should be true for each and every elected official: We should all have the same rules to be governed by. No matter what level of government an official is elected to, we are here to do the people's wOf1< and be their collective voices. The Resolution simply states:
"The California Srare Legislawreshall nor enacr, and che Governor shall nor approve, any law or regula lion rhar applies solely ro elected off«:lals of California cities and counties, unless such law or regulation also applies equally ro members ofrhe california Srare Assembly and Senate.

This prohibitionshall nor apply 10 laws or regulalions atfecring the inherenr powers of lhe legislarive branch under rhe California COnsrirurion."
Whether the State Legislature or Governor heed our collective voices, we at the local level, through our cai Cities membership, wlll have demonstrated our resolve that the basic leadership charactefistic of leadership by example is the best approach to holding elective office.

Resolution No. 1: Staff Analysis
Leaqueof California Cities Staff Analysison Resolution No. 1 Staff:

Committee:

Johnnie Pina, LegislativeAffairs, Lobbyist
Governance, Transparency,and Labor Relations
Summary:

This Resolution states that the League of California Cities shall call upon the Governor of the State of California and the elected members of the California Legislature,including all members of the Senate and Assemblyto adopt the following policy:
"The California State Legislatureshall not enact, and the Governor shall not sign into law, any law or regulation that applies solely to elected officials of California cities and counties, unless such law or regulation also applies equally to members of the California State Assemblyand Senate. This prohibition shall not apply to laws or regulationsaffecting the inherent powers of the legislative branch under the California Constitution."
Backqround:

This resolution states that examplesof the California Legislatureimposingrules limitingauthority or regulating the conduct of local municipal officials that do not also apply to elected officials of the State of California include, but are not limited to:
• California's open meeting rules, codified in the RalphM. Brown Act, Government Code, Chapter 9, §§ 54950 et seq.;
• "One-off" exemptions,in the form of Senate Bill No. 174, from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA");
• Rules, in the form of Senate Bill No. 1439, amending the Political Reform Act (the "Act"); and
• Rules, in the form of AssemblyBill No. 571, that apply to city and county candidates for local elected office, but not to candidates for state-wide office.

RalphM. Brown Act
The California Attorney General's (AG) Office defines The RalphM. Brown Act (Brown Act) as what governs meetings conducted by local legislativebodies, such as boards of supervisors,city councils and school boards. The AG's office states the Act representsthe Legislature'sdetermination of how the balance should be struck between public access to meetings of multi-member public bodies on the one hand and the need for confidential candor, debate, and information gathering on the other.

The RalphM. Brown Act governs local agencies, the Bagley-KeeneOpen Meetinq Act covers all state boards and commissions, and Government code 9027 governs the state Legislature.The California Constitution also mandates open meetings for state agencies, boards, and commissions. Specifically,the Constitution requires that each local agency comply with the Brown Act (Article I, section 3(b){7)): and that the proceedings of each house of the Legislaturebe open and public (with exceptions for employment matters; matters affecting security; confer with legal counsel; and to meet as a caucus (Article IV, section 7).

Although fairly detailed requirementsapply to state agencies and other state bodies, they do not apply to the Legislature. The Legislaturehas Constitutional authority to adopt rules for its proceedings that are consistent with the requirement that the proceedings of each house and the committees be open and public.

Another notable difference between the Legislatureand a city council is the ability for Legislators to have a caucus to discuss a bill, express how they will vote, and to count votes. This is not allowed under the Brown Act. One other difference is that the laws governing teleconferencing for members of the state Legislatureis far less flexible than it is for local bodies. However, state agencies have more flexibilitythan locals in that regard.

California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA")
The Resolution cites the Legislature's action in exempting from CEQA the reconstruction of the State Capitol Annex building. The State Legislature enacted the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in 1970, establishingit as a public disclosure law for the environmental review of discretionaryprojects and a process for mitigating or avoiding potential environmental impacts.

SB 174 (Committee on Budqet and Fiscal Review)Chaptered by Secretaryof State. Chapter 74, Statutes of 2024 was signed into law July 2, 2024. This bill exempts the work performed under the State Capitol Building Annex Act of 2016 from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In this example the Legislatureexempted themselves as not being considered a "public agency," "state agency," or "lead agency" under CEQA. A lead agency under CEQA is the public agency that has the principal responsibilityfor carrying out or approving a project that is subject to CEQA.

Over the years, the Legislaturehas also created many CEQA exceptions and exemptionsfor local projects involving local agencies as well.

The Political Reform Act (PRA) - Senate Bill No. 1439
SB 1439 (Glazer} Chaptered by Secretaryof State. Chapter 848, Statutes of 2022 amends section 84308 and is aimed at preventing "pay-to-play" practices, in part by prohibiting parties, participants, and their respective agents in a proceeding involvinga license, permit, or other entitlement for use from contributing more than $250 to an officer of an agency during a 12 month period. When the Levine Act was first enacted in 1982, Section 84308 applied to appointed members of boards and commissions who were runningfor elective office. SB 1439 expended this law to now apply to local elected officials. Since it is focused on permitsand licenses, it now applies to State agencies and local agencies that approve permitsand licenses. Section 84308 does not apply to the Legislatureor the Courts. It is important to note that unlike local governments, neither issue permitsand licenses.

The Political Reform Act (PRA) - Assembly Bill No. 571
AB 571 (Mullin) Chaptered by Secretaryof State. Chapter 556, Statutes of 2019 established default campaign contribution limits for county and city office at the same level as the limit on contributions from individuals to candidates for Senate and Assembly, effective January 1, 2021. This bill permitted a county or city to establish its own contribution limits, which would prevail over these default limits.

The Resolution cites AB 571 as an example of treating cities differently than the State. The Fair Political Practices Commission clarifies in their AB 571 fact sheet that under AB 571 a city may elect to have "no" contribution limit in which case the state contribution limit will not apply as a default for that jurisdiction. A city or county can set contribution limits higherthan the default state limit, AB 571 sets a default in line with contributions AssemblyMembers and Senators if a city or county is silent on contribution limits.

Fiscal Impact:

Comments:

Additional Examples
The Legislaturehas passedand the Governor has signed many laws that apply to local governments and do not apply to the state or the state Legislature.This year AB 2561 (McKinnor) was introduced, which requires local governments to presentin a public meeting a detailed report about their vacancy rates and detailed information about their hiring practices. This is an attempt to address public sector vacancy rates. This bill does not apply to the state in a time when they are also dealing with high vacancy rates.

Additionally, there were several bills that aim to amend the Levine Act, which now applies to local elected officials, to make changes to SB 1439, referenced previouslyin the analysis. None of the bills would amend the law to be applicable to AssemblyMembers or Senators.

AB 817 (Pacheco), co-sponsored by Cal Cities tried to bring parity to the Brown Act by making the teleconference rules for state advisorybodies the same for local advisorybodies but the Legislaturestruck the bill down.

Applying to elected officials or to the legislative body? Legislatureor the State? The resolution also states, "
... applies solely to elected officials of California cities and counties, unless such law or regulation also applies equally to members of the California State Assemblyand Senate."
This portion of the resolve clause is specifically speakingto local elected officials and State AssemblyMembers and Senators. However, many of the "where as" clauses are in reference to laws that apply to cities, the state and the Legislature as government agencies and not specifically to the elected officials on the governing bodies. For example, the Brown Act applies rules to the Legislative body and not the individual council member. Additionally, the city council as a whole is the lead agency under CEQA and not the individual council members.

Inherent Powers of the LegislativeBranch
The resolution also states, "This prohibition shall not apply to laws or regulations affecting the inherent powers of the legislativebranch under the California Constitution."
It is unclear what inherent powers of the legislatebranch under the California Constitution means in this context. The legislativebranch does have the power of preemption over cities and can state that a change in law is a matter of state wide concern. This allows the legislativebranch to apply new laws or amend existinglaws to apply to general law and charter cities. It seems like the last sentence of the resolve clause could negate the rest of the resolve clause if not clarified.

APPROVE THE REQUEST BY THE GREATER REEDLEY CHAMBER OF

COMMERCE TO WAIVE CITY FEES RELATED TO THE ANNUAL REEDLEY FIESTA PARADE AND ELECTRICAL FARM PARADE FOR THE 2024, 2025, AND 2026 EVENTS
SUBMITTED:

APPROVED: Nicole R. Zieba
City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommends that City Council approve the request by the Greater Reedley Chamber of Commerce to waive city fees related to the annual Reedley Fiesta Parade and Electrical Farm Equipment Parade for the 2024, 2025, and 2026 events.

BACKGROUND
The Greater Reedley Chamber of Commerce has requestedthe fees for the Fiesta Parade and Electrical Farm Equipment Parade be waived. Entry fees collected for the parades are only enough to cover the costs associated with offering the event. Staff is concerned if the fees are not waived these events will no longer continue. The Fiesta Parade and Electrical Farm Equipment Parade are both listed as events Mid Valley Disposal will provide solid waste services at no charge.

FISCAL IMPACT
The only city cost for these two events is for police personnel to assist with traffic control and onsite safety response.

PRIOR COUNCIL ACTIONS
On August 10, 2021, Council approved waiving the city fees associated with the Fiesta Parade and Electrical Farm Equipment Parade for 2021, 2022, and 2023 events.

On January 26, 2016, Council approved waiving the city fees associated with the Fiesta Parade for 2015, 2016, and 2017 events. On August 14, 2018, Council approved waiving the city fees associated with the Fiesta Parade for 2018, 2019, and 2020 events.

Dear Reedley City Council:

I
want to extend my deepestgratitude for your ongoingsupport of two cherished Reedley traditions: the Reedley Fiesta Parade and Reedley's Electrical Farm Equipment Parade. Your assistance has been crucial in preservingthese events,ensuringthey continue to bringour community together year after year.

The Reedley Fiesta Parade is a collaborative effort betweenthe Greater Reedley Chamberof Commerce and the Rotary Club of Reedley, with the Rotary Club dedicatingcountless hours to help make this event a success. Similarly, Reedley's Electrical Farm Equipment Parade, which the Chambertook over after the dissolution of the Reedley Downtown Association in 2019, thrives today thanks to a partnership with the Reedley Lions Club.

In the past, the Council generouslyapproveda waiver for the city costs associated with hostingthese two parades. However,with the expiration of that waiver, I
am
writing to respectfully requestits renewal. The fees collected from these events are just enoughto cover essential expenses such as printing, postage, advertising, trophies, and ribbons. Without the continuation of this waiver, the financial burden on our volunteers could threaten the viability of these beloved parades.

Renewingthis waiver will not only protect the dedicatedindividualswho investtheir time and energy into these events but will also ensure that these parades-so integral to Reedley's identity-continue to inspire pride and joy in our entire community.

Thankyou for consideringthis request and for your continued commitment to supporting Reedley's vibrant community traditions.

Sincerely,
Erik W. Valencia

APPROVE UPDATED REEDLEY MUNICIPAL AIRPORT HANGAR AND

TIE DOWN RENTAL AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE CITY MANAGER

OR CITY MANAGER'S DESIGNEE TO EXECUTE EACH AGREEMENT

WITH TENANTS

RECOMMENDATION
Approvean updated ReedleyMunicipal Airport Hangar and Tie Down Rental Agreementand authorize the City Manageror City Manager'sdesigneeto sign Agreement'swith tenants renting facilities or space for storing aircraft.

BACKGROUND
The City of Reedleyowns 24 full hangers and two half hangars which are rented to tenants with aircrafts to store at the ReedleyMunicipal Airport. There is also apron space with tie downs available for rent. All interested parties are subjectto signing an agreementwhich outlines the terms, insurance requirementsand expectationsfor the use of these City of Reedleyspaces. A certificate of insurance must be presented and the required depositpaid.

Currently there are no empty hangars but there are still tie down spaces available. With the expirationof Ito Packing Land Lease on November 30, 2024, three full size hangars and two half hangars will revert to the City of Reedley. Tenants in these hangars will be subjectto signing an agreementwith the City of Reedleyto continue occupying the spaces. The tenants will also be subjectto the City of Reedley hangar rates.

The upcoming change prompted staff to look at updating the Agreementwith new terms and clarifications. Staff reached out to other airports and received six examplesto review for current practices and languageassociated with rental of hangars and tie downs for aircraft storage. The examplesreceived had been updated recently and had similar language. 1 The changes presented in the proposed ReedleyMunicipal Airport Hangarand Tie Down Rental Agreementinclude the following;
• Increasing the depositrequired at the time of signing an agreementfrom one month's rent to $500.
• Language was added to address the concern of tenants renting hangars who do not own an aircraft or own an aircraft which is in a non-airworthy condition. The intention is to make sure hangars are being used for the purpose of storing aircraft and aviation related items, not recreation vehicles or large bulky household things. • The agreementwas silent on the disposalof trash in the bin at the ReedleyMunicipal Airport. Over the past few years, staff has found large bulky items and trash not associated with the hangar use being dumped. This is not the intention for the bin and creates limited space for other tenant's trash needs. Item 6. Trash Disposal was added to address this growing concern.
• The CommunityServices Departmentinspects the City of Reedleyowed hangars once a year and will continue this practice. Additionally, the Fire Departmentwill start inspecting all hangars at the ReedleyMunicipal Airport to confirm compliance with Federal Aviation Administration guidelines.
• Staff has found it challenging to communicate with certain tenants who change contact information and do not notify the CommunityServices Departmentof the change. The proposed agreementputs onus on the tenant to keep this information up to date.

If the proposed Reedley Municipal Airport Hangarand Tie Down Rental Agreementis adopted, all tenants will be subjectto signing a new agreementwith the City of Reedleybut will not be subjectto the new depositrate. The depositthey paid at the time of signing their agreementwill stay in place and the proposed depositincrease will only be for new tenants.

FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact with this action.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff and the Reedley Planning Commission recommends that the City Council of the City of Reedley take the following actions:

A) Hold the Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance No. 2024-001, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Reedley pertaining to repealing and replacing in its entirety Title 1 O, the Zoning Regulations of the Reedley Municipal Code, hereby referred to as the Zoning Code.

B) Hold the Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance No. 2024-002, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Reedley pertaining to repealing and replacing in its entirety Title 11, the Subdivision Regulations of the Reedley Municipal Code, hereby referred to as the Subdivision Ordinance.

C) Hold the Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance No. 2024-003, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Reedley pertaining to adding Chapter 4 of Title 9 to the Reedley Municipal Code, relocating the Property Maintenance Standards Chapter in its entirety from Chapter 16 of Title 1 O
to Chapter 4 of Title 9, and deleting Chapter 16 of Title 1 O.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On August 13, 2024, the introduction of Ordinance No. 2024-001, Ordinance No, 2024-002, and Ordinance No. 2024-003 was presented to the City Council of the City of Reedley and a public hearing was opened. After the public hearing was closed, the City Council unanimously voted in favor of introduction and first reading of the proposed ordinances. The Community Development Department is presenting the second reading and adoption of Ordinance No. 2024-001, Ordinance No. 2024-002, and Ordinance No. 2024-003 for the City Council's consideration. A description of Ordinance No. 2024-001, Ordinance No. 2024-002, and Ordinance No. 2024-003 is included below.

Ordinance No. 2024-001: Title 10-Zoning Code
Ordinance No. 2024-001 comprehensively updates the City's existing Zoning Code by clarifying and enhancing standards, simplifying review procedures, and introducing flexibility to accommodate unique circumstances. The updated Zoning Code is a user-friendly regulatory document that offers transparent guidance on the City's requirements and promotes the development of high-quality projects that are consistent with the objectives of the Reedley General Plan 2030 and State law.

Ordinance No. 2024-002: Title 11 - Subdivision Ordinance The City's current Subdivision Ordinance is included in Title 11 of the RMC. Substantial changes were not required for the Ordinance update. The Ordinance underwent technical amendments to ensure map processing procedures, review timelines, and City enforcement procedures comply with recent changes in State law and the Subdivision Map Act. The existing Title 11 structure is retained, resulting in an Ordinance that is organized to flow from general provisions, map processing procedures, improvements, and ending with enforcement provisions.

Ordinance No. 2024-003: Relocating Chapter 16 of Title 1 O to NewlyAdded Chapter4 of Title 9
- Property Maintenance Standards
The current Property Maintenance Standards Chapter is located in Title 1 O, Chapter 16 of the Reedley Municipal Code. Ordinance No. 2024-003 proposes to relocate the Property Maintenance Chapter to the added Chapter 4 of Title 9, Building Regulations. This is a more appropriate location for this chapter because the Property Maintenance Standards Chapter primarily pertains to the existing conditions of structures and property within the existing built environment and is implemented by an enforcement officer, subject to appeal to a hearing officer. The Zoning Code primarily pertains to development standards for vacant property prior to coming into the built environment, and the authority to implement the Zoning Code is given to the Community Development Director, subject to appeal to the Planning Commission and/or City Council. No major changes are proposed to the existing text to be relocated.

ßACKGROUNP
The City of Reedley Community Development Department initiated Ordinance No. 2024-001, Ordinance No. 2024-002, and Ordinance No. 2024-003, all of which propose to update the City of Reedley's Zoning Code and Subdivision Ordinance in order to accomplish the following:

1. Remove inconsistencies within the Reedley Municipal Code

2. Achieve consistency with the General Plan 2030

3. Reflect recent changes in State law, primary related to housing

4. Craft language that makes regulations clearer and easier to use for staff and the public

5. Encourage entitlement application streamlining, or in other words, getting to "yes" faster

6. Relocate the Property Maintenance Standards Chapter (Title 10, Chapter 16) to a more appropriate title of the Reedley Municipal Code.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
Environmental Assessment No. 2024-06 determined that Ordinance No. 2024-001, Ordinance No. 2024-002, and Ordinance No. 2024-003 is consistent with the adopted City of Reedley General Plan 2030 and its Final EIR, and the project requires no additional environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15168.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost of consulting services for updating Title 1 O and Title 11 of the City's Municipal Code is being reimbursed because the City of Reedley received two grants in the total amount of $310,000 ($160,000 awarded by SB 2 and $150,000 awarded by AB 101) from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

The R-1 Zone Districts are categorized by minimum parcel size as follows: (R-l(SP), R-1-6, R-1-7, R-1-9, and R-1-12). The allowed residential density in the R-1 Zone Districts ranges from 1 to 8 dwelling units per acres. The
R-1 Zone Districts implement the Suburban Residential (SR), Low Density Residential (LOR), Medium Density Residential (MDR), and Public/Institutional Facility (Pl) land use designations in the General Plan.

C. MDR - Medium Density Residential Zone District. The Medium Density Residential Zone District (MDR Zone District) provides areas in the City which allow a range of medium residential

Chapter 10.40 Sign Regulations
l. For Sale or Lease. On-site or structure signs not exceedingfour squarefeet for single-unit or two-unit dwellings, and 16 squarefeet for multi-unit dwellings, business, and industrial sites of up to two acres in area, 32 squarefeet total sign area for multifamily, business, and industrial sites of two acres or larger, and one in number per street frontage.

2. Open House, On Site. On-site or structure signs, between the hours 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. daily, not exceedingfour squarefeet per sign and one in number per site or structure.

3. Open House; Offsite Residential. Open house signs, including for two- and three-unit dwellings, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. daily, not exceedingfour square feet per sign and one in number in the neighborhood of sales; not to be located in any center median of a public road or in a sidewalk right-of-way; and directional arrows with addresses not exceedingsix in number in the neighborhood of sales. In adopting this exemption for off site residential open house signs, the City Council finds as follows:
a. The City has a compelling interest to exempt certain signs to further the purpose and objectives of this chapter and to allow for the use of signs with minimal aesthetic impact because of their size and temporary nature. b. The single-unit residential real estate industry is distinct from other industries in that there are generally no storefronts availablefor advertising and most homes are not located adjacent to heavily traveled streets. This makes offsite signs that advertise available homes necessary for potential buyers to find them. c. Real estate signs do not advertise goods or services, but actual locations. Directing potential buyers to an available home is necessary to facilitate real estate transactions as potential buyers shall be able to find and view the availablehomes. d. Single-unit residential real estate sales are temporary and infrequent as opposed to sales from commercial businesses. Exemptingsingle-unit residential open house real estate signs will not lead to a proliferation of unsightly signs because they will be used only during very limited times when there is an open house, will be removed at the end of each day of use, and once a home is sold will no longer be used.
e. Exempting offsite open house real estate signs is necessary to allow homeowners to efficiently advertise and sell their properties as quickly as possible and to assist potential buyers in finding availablehomes within our community. 40 Chapter 10.40 Sign Regulations
O. Any sign erected or maintained which has less horizontal or vertical clearancefrom communication lines and energizedelectrical power lines than that prescribed by the state, or rules and regulations duly promulgated by agencies thereof.
