RECOMMENDATION
Ratify the City Manager's authorization to execute the Emergency Facilities and Land Use Agreement with the USDA Forest Service. This agreement was initiated in response to the Garnet Fire and provided for the temporary use of the Reedley Municipal Airport as a helibase during this emergency incident.
BACKGROUND
In late August 2025, the USDA Forest Service contacted City staff to request the use of the Reedley Municipal Airport as a helibase in support of firefighting operations for the Garnet Fire.
Establishing a helibase at the airport enabled the Forest Service to stage helicopters and associated support vehicles needed for active fire suppression efforts.
Helicopters were stationed on the south end of the transient parking area and at the north end of the airport beyond the hangars. The Reedley Municipal Airport served this emergency operation from August 28, 2025, through September 12, 2025.
To ensure airport operations continued without disruption, the City of Reedley coordinated between the USDA Forest Service and Reedley College, which also conducts aviation activities at the site. Both parties successfully shared use of the facility with no reported concerns.
1 FISCAL IMPACT
Under the executed agreement, the City will receive compensation at the established daily rate of $200 for airport use, along with applicable charges for water usage, including a monthly water meter fee and consumption costs.
As a result, the Airport Enterprise Fund will receive $3,200 in rental revenue for the 16 days of use, and the Water Enterprise Fund will receive $80.66 for water-related charges. These rates are consistent with the City of Reedley's adopted Master Fee Schedule.

RECOMMENDATION
Ratify the City Manager's authorization to execute the Interim Agreement with Skyleader North America Inc. for fuel operation services at the Reedley Municipal Airport.
BACKGROUND
Following the sudden passing of Fixed Base Operator (FBO) Carl Smith, the City of Reedley was required to take immediate steps to ensure operations of essential airport services for tenants and patrons. To address this urgent need, an Interim Agreement was executed on September 9, 2025, with Skyleader North America, Inc. The agreement allows for the temporary use of the FBO hangar and the first row of tie-down spaces located north of the hangar. This interim arrangement will remain in effect while the City conducts a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process to select a new permanent FBO.
Carl Smith faithfully served as the FBO at Reedley Municipal Airport since 2006, providing critical aviation and fueling services to the community. His long-standing agreement was set to expire in July 2026, and staff had originally planned to begin the recruitment process after the first of the year. Given these unforeseen circumstances, staff will work to accelerate the timeline to secure a qualified and permanent operator.
During this interim period , necessary repairs and maintenance to the FBO hangar will also be scheduled to ensure the facility is fully functional and ready for long-term use by the incoming FBO.

RECOMMENDATION
Ratify the authorization for City Manager to execute an agreement with the Giants Community Fund allowing the City of Reedley to provide the Jr. Giants Baseball Program for the 2026 season. The program hasn't changed, but the Giants Community Fund requires that the City of Reedley enter into an agreement annually. Staff is asking for the approval to continue offering this program.
BACKGROUND
Jr. Giants Baseball is a free program offered during the summer months to children ages 5-13.
In past seasons, the program has served up to 265 players. Over the course of the seven-week season, participants focus on character development, health, education, bullying prevention, and the fundamentals of baseball.
For the 2026 season, the Jr. Giants organization plans to host a league from June 9 through August 8. The Giants Community Fund provides all needed equipment, uniforms and hats. Last season, funding typically provided through AmeriCorp was cut. The Giants Community Fund elected to provided limited funding for the Ambassadors to support leagues but limited the hours. The Ambassadors assist with recruiting coaches, required parent and player meetings, oversight of games and distribution of Jr. Giants materials and incentives.
For 2026, the level of support remains uncertain until closer to the start of the season. The City of Reedley remains responsible for player recruitment, team organization, and overall program supervision

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Reedley is grateful for its ongoing partnership with Sierra Kings Health Care District (SKHCD) on projects that advance their mission of promoting healthy lifestyles and encouraging community wellness. Building on this strong collaboration , City staff recently presented three initiatives designed to have a meaningful impact on existing recreation programs:
1. Red Ribbon Week Activities - $1,400
This October, Kings Canyon Unified School District will host a Health Fair on the Reedley Parkway in front of the district office. The City would like to join the effort by offering a Red Ribbon Week booth, where participants can engage in fun, interactive activities focused on the importance of living drug-free. The budgeted funds will cover prizes, crafts, snacks, and a community pledge poster to encourage youth and families to say "NO" to drugs.
2. Pool Safety Coloring Books - $1,200
In 2021 , the City and SKHCD partnered on a successful river safety messaging campaign that continues to raise awareness of drowning risks today. Building on that success, the City proposes a pool safety-themed coloring book designed for young swimmers and their families . This resource will deliver age-appropriate lessons on safe swimming practices, emergency response, and the importance of adult supervision.
The books will be distributed to children in both the City's free swim lesson program (generously supported by SKHCD) and the City's fee-based swim lessons. An estimated $1 ,200 will fund the design and printing of 1,000 copies, ensuring safety education reaches a wide audience.
3. Water Aerobics Scholarship Program - $1,000
During the annual review of the Master Fee Schedule, staff identified an imbalance in water aerobics fees, resulting in an increase of the one-day pass from $5 to $10. While this adjustment ensures fairness, it has also posed a hardship for some participantsparticularly older adults and individuals using water aerobics for therapy, injury recovery, or chronic condition management.
To maintain equitable access, the City proposes a pilot scholarship program offering a 50% discount for participants who provide a doctor's note verifying a health need for aquatic exercise. The City is requesting $1 ,000 to offset revenue loss during this pilot phase, ensuring that cost is not a barrier to those who benefit most.
Together, these initiatives aim to expand safety education for children and sustain access to therapeutic aquatic exercise for community members with health challenges. The City of 2 Reedley deeply appreciates SKHCD's continued support and partnership in promoting health, safety, and wellness across our community.
FISCAL IMPACT
All expenses associated with the implementation of the three Special Initiative Grants will be fully funded . Budget Amendment No. 2025-074 requests' appropriations to cover the cost of supplies, materials, and 70% of the instructor compensation for the water aerobics program.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to make non-substantive changes to the attached amendment, and sign final amendment to the professional services agreement with lnterwest Consulting Group, Inc. (lnterwest) to perform on-call professional services for the Community Development Department.
BACKGROUND
The Community Development Department consists of the Planning and Building Divisions.
Each division is responsible for highly technical and complex assignments associated with the approval and development of structures and buildings proposed to be brought into the built environment. The Building Division is responsible for processing building permit applications in a timely manner, conducting building inspections, and ensuring new construction is compliant with the Reedley Municipal Code and the California Building Code.
Currently, as part of a longstanding professional services agreement, lnterwest provides plan review and inspection support to the department. Staff is proposing to extend the professional services agreement to November 1, 2026. This agreement includes a wholesale replacement of Exhibit B, which reflects an inflationary adjustment in hourly rates for services performed by lnterwest.
On August 28, 2018, City Council approved the original on-call contract with lnterwest Consulting Group to provide Building Division support services. Currently, staff anticipates utilizing support services due to the consistently strong development activity.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no negative fiscal impact to the City given that the costs of service are determined per-project on an as-needed basis. Additionally, cost for services will be significantly defrayed by fees paid by permit applicants.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTIONS
City Council approved the original on-call contract with lnterwest Consulting Group on August 28, 2018.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:
A) Adopt Resolution No. 2025-070 Initiating proceedings for the annexation of territory (Kings View Townhomes) into the City of Reedley Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District (LLMD) No. 1 as Zone FF, the establishment of a maximum annual assessment commencing in Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and the levy and collection of annual assessments commencing in Fiscal Year 2026-2027 pursuant to the provisions of part 2 of division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code, and ordering the preparation of an Engineer's Report in connection therewith and setting a time and place for a public hearing.
B) Adopt Resolution No. 2025-071 declaring the intention to annex territory (Kings View Townhomes) into the City of Reedley LLMD No. 1 as Zone FF, to establish a maximum annual assessment beginning in Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and to levy and collect assessments commencing with Fiscal Year 2026-2027 and calling for a property protest proceeding to the qualified property owners for said annexation territory pursuant to the provisions of the California constitution, article XIIID.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A condition to annex into the LLMD was imposed on new developments being processed by the City in November 1989, when the District was established. Since that time, properties that receive benefit from landscaping and lighting improvements are assessed for such improvements in proportion to the benefit received to maintain, operate, service and administer the landscaping, irrigation and lighting within each zone. The approval of the attached resolutions and Engineer's Report initiate the process for the Annexation and sets a date for the public hearing as required by the conditions of approval of Condition Use Permit (CUP) No. 2021-07.
BACKGROUND
On November 7, 1989, the City Council adopted Resolution 4202, which established the City of Reedley's LLMD No. 1. LLMD No. 1 was established to sustain on-going maintenance, operation and servicing of the local pocket parks, open spaces, landscaping and irrigation in local area buffers, entryways and median islands, street trees, block walls and local street lighting within said District. The LLMD provides and ensures the continued maintenance, servicing, administration and operation of various landscaped and lighting improvements and associated appurtenances located within the public right-of-ways and dedicated landscape easements in the various zones annexed into the LLMD throughout the City. Each of the landscaped maintenance areas is identified within a distinct Zone with differing costs and benefits to the parcels within each Zone. The spreading of the improvement costs is based upon the total cost of the improvements within each Zone. Each property is assessed only for the cost of the improvements from which benefit is received. The benefit formula used within each of the Zones in the LLMD may vary.
The formula used for each Zone reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly proportion the costs based on the special benefit to each parcel.
To initiate the process for annexation of a territory into the LLMD, the Council must approve a resolution of intention to annex territory into the LLMD. Resolution No. 2025-070 includes various actions necessary for the annexation to the LLMD. The attached Engineer's Report provides details for the proposed assessment of $160.86 per Equivalent Benefit Unit with 12.0 Equivalent Benefit Units consistent with 12 townhomes within CUP 2021-07. The assessment will commence with fiscal year 2026-2027. Resolution No. 2025-071 approves the Engineer's Report for Kings View Townhomes and the assessments as detailed above and sets the public hearing date to November 18, 2025. At that time the ballots will be counted, and if there is no majority protest, the Engineer's Report and resolution to be heard at the public hearing on November 18, 2025 will confirm and levy the assessments placed on each parcel for the maintenance costs beginning in fiscal year 2026-2027.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City will collect approximately $1 ,930.00 annually to offset the cost of maintaining landscaping and street lighting in Zone FF. The cost to process this annexation is funded by the Developer of CUP 2021- 07 as required by the conditions of approval.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTIONS
On November 7, 1989, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4202 to establish LLMD No. 1.

While provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID require that the City conduct a public hearing not less than forty-five (45) days after mailing a notice of the proposed assessment to record owners of each parcel which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed, California Civil Code, Section 3513 allows anyone to waive the advantage of a law intended solely for their benefit, and the forty-five (45) day mailed ballot period before the scheduled public hearing is not established for a public reason, but is solely for the advantage of the parcels having a special benefit conferred upon them and which an assessment will be imposed.

10. Public Hearing: The City Council hereby declares its intention to conduct a public hearing concerning the Annexation Territory, the improvements, and the levy of assessments.

11 .

The property owner may return the ballot by mail or in person to the City Clerk not later than the conclusion of the public hearing on Tuesday, October 14, 2025. After the close of the public hearing, pursuant to Section 4, Sub-Section 4 (e) of the California Constitution, the City shall tabulate the ballots returned to determine if majority protest exists.

INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to the provisions of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, being Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code, commencing with Section 22500 (hereafter referred to as the "1972 Act"), this Engineer's Report (hereafter referred to as "Report") is prepared in compliance with the requirements of Article 4, Chapter 1, of the 1972 Act regarding the annexation of territories into the City of Reedley's (referred to as "City") existing Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 (hereafter referred to as "LLMD No. 1" or "District").
The City Council of the City of Reedley (referred to as "City Council") being the legislative body for LLMD No. 1, may, pursuant to the 1972 Act, annex territories and levy annual assessments for the operations and administration of LLMD No. 1. In Section 22608 of the 1972 Act, it states "right of majority protest shall be limited to the territory proposed to be annexed."
In addition, the 1972 Act provides for the levy of annual assessments after annexation into or formation of an assessment district for the continued maintenance and servicing of the improvements. The 1972 Act further allows various areas to be annexed into an existing district when the territories in the annexation receive substantially the same proportional special benefits from the improvements. The costs associated with the installation, maintenance, and servicing of the improvements may be assessed to properties, which benefit from the installation, maintenance, and servicing of such improvements.
This Report specifically addresses the annexation of Assessor's Parcel Numbers (APNs) 365-220-80 and 365-220-81 , which will be developed into twelve (12) townhomes to be named Kings View Townhomes. The territory is more specifically identified as:
• Kings View Townhomes, comprised of APNs 365-220-80 and 81 , generally located at the north west corner of S. Frankwood Avenue and W. Lilac Avenue.
This area is legally described as Parcel A and B of Parcel Map No. 2017-1 , according to the map thereof recorded December 24, 2018 in Book 75 Pages 1 and 2 of Parcel Maps, Fresno County Records. This area is proposed to be annexed into LLMD No. 1 as Annexation Zone FF (referred to as "Annexation Territory"), with the establishment of a proposed maximum annual assessment amount to be effective in Fiscal Year 2025/2026. This Report addresses the levy and collection of annual assessments beginning in Fiscal Year 2026/2027.
The properties associated with and identified herein as Annexation Territory are shown within the Assessment Diagrams incorporated herein as Part D of this Report.
BALLOT PROCEEDINGS
As part of this annexation proceeding, pursuant to the provisions of Article XIIID, Section 4 of the California Constitution (referred to as "Article XIIID"), the City shall conduct a property owner protest ballot proceeding (referred to as "Ballot Proceeding") for the proposed levy of new assessments as described in this Report.
In conjunction with this Ballot Proceeding, the City Council will conduct a noticed public hearing (scheduled for November 18, 2025) to consider public testimonies, comments, and written protests regarding the levy of the proposed new assessments. Upon conclusion of the public hearing, property owner protest ballots received will be opened and tabulated to determine whether majority protest exists:

W w1LLDAN
"A majority protest exists if, upon the conclusion of the hearing, ballots submitted in opposition to the assessment exceed the ballots submitted in favor of the assessment. In tabulating the ballots, the ballots shall be weighted according to the proportional financial obligation of the affected property." After completion of the ballot tabulation, the City Council will confirm the results of the balloting. If majority protest were to exist, further proceedings to implement the proposed new assessments (including the inflationary adjustment) and the annexation of the Annexation Territory shall be abandoned at that time.
If tabulation of the ballots indicates that majority protest does not exist for the proposed assessment and the assessment range formula presented and described herein, the City Council may by Resolution approve this Report (as submitted or amended), order the annexation of the Annexation Territory to the District, approve the assessment diagram, and confirm the assessments. The City Council may order the levy and collection of the assessments for the Annexation Territory with the assessments for other properties in the District during the annual assessment approval process for Fiscal Year 2026/2027. The assessments for the Annexation Territory for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 shall be submitted to the Fresno County Auditor/Controller for inclusion on the property tax roll for each parcel within the Annexation Territory as approved and ordered by the City Council.
Each subsequent fiscal year, an Engineer's Report for the District including the Annexation Territory shall be prepared and presented to the City Council to address any proposed changes to the improvements, budget, and assessments for that fiscal year. The City Council shall hold a noticed public hearing regarding these matters prior to approving and ordering the levy of such assessments.
REPORT CONTENT
This Report consists of the following five (5) parts.
PART A- PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
Provides an overall description of the District, the zone of benefit ("Zone(s)") therein and the improvements to be provided including those improvements associated with the Annexation Territory being addressed by this Report. The Zones previously established for this District or established herein as part of this annexation proceedings are based on the type of improvements and services provided to properties within each development and the type of property development (residential versus non-residential).
PART B - METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
Describes the basis on which the costs have been apportioned to each parcel of land within the Annexation Territory of the District, in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by such lots and parcels. This section also identifies and outlines an Assessment Range Formula that provides for an annual adjustment to the maximum assessment rate initially established by this Report. This Assessment Range Formula limits increases on future assessments but also provides for reasonable cost adjustments due to inflation without the added expense of additional property owner protest ballot proceedings.

PART A- PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT
On November 7, 1989, the City of Reedley Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 was formed under the provisions of the 1972 Act and in compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements of the California Constitution Article XIIID (the "California Constitution"). The District consists of twenty-six (26) benefit zones (Zones A, E, G through U, W through Zand AA, BB, CC and EE) (referred to as "Zones"), such that those properties receiving benefits from a particular improvement are assessed for such improvements in proportion to the benefit received to maintain on-going maintenance, operation and servicing of the local pocket parks, open spaces, landscaping and irrigation in local area buffers, entryways and median islands, streets trees in park strips block walls and local street lighting within said District.
DESCRIPTION OF THE ANNEXATION TERRITORY
The Annexation Territory identified within this Report incorporates the lots or parcels of land within and/or in proximity to the development and improvement areas associated with Kings View Townhomes. Specifically, the Annexation Territory can be found on the Fresno County Assessor's Parcel Map within Book 75, Pages 1 and 2; Parcels A and B of Parcel Map No. 2017-1.
The Annexation Territory is generally located at the north west corner of S. Frankwood Avenue and W. Lilac Avenue. The area is identified by the Fresno County Assessor's Office as APNs 365-220-80 and 81.
Development of the Annexation Territory is anticipated to consist of twelve ( 12) town homes, comprising approximately 0.902 acres.
DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MAINTAINED AND SERVICED The improvements installed, maintained, and serviced within the Annexation Zone FF are generally described as streetlights, landscaping, and irrigation improvements within or adjacent to the Annexation Territory and surrounding properties. Together these improvements provide special benefits to those individual parcels located within the Annexation Territory. These improvements collectively may include, but are not limited to:
landscaping, lighting, planting, shrubbery, trees, grass, bark, other ornamental vegetation, irrigation systems, hardscapes, and fixtures; facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof, including, but not limited to, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities.
The Annexation Territory, as part of LLMD No. 1, will fund costs in connection with the maintenance and servicing including, but not limited to, labor, electrical energy, water, materials, contracting services, administration, and other expenses necessary for the satisfactory maintenance and servicing of these improvements.
Maintenance means the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of the streetlights, landscaping, and appurtenant facilities, including repair, removal or replacement of all or part of any improvement; providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of the landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury; the removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste; and the cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti.

PART B - METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
BACKGROUND
The 1972 Act provides that assessments may be apportioned upon all assessable lots or parcels of land within an assessment district or annexation in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each lot or parcel from the improvements. In addition, the California Constitution Article XIIID requires a parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.
Article XIIID further provides that only special benefits are assessable, and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel. A special benefit is a particular and distinct benefit over, and above general benefits conferred on the public at large, including real property within the district or annexation. The general enhancement of property value does not constitute a special benefit.
SPECIAL BENEFIT ANALYSIS
LANDSCAPING
The ongoing maintenance of public landscape areas within the District provide aesthetic benefits to the properties within each respective Annexation and more specifically, those improvements identified in Part A of this Report, provide aesthetic benefits to the properties within the Annexation Territory and create a more pleasant environment to walk, drive, live, and work. The primary function of these landscape improvements and related amenities serve as an aesthetically pleasing enhancement and green space for the benefit of those parcels and developments for which the improvements are to be constructed and installed for the benefit of those parcels and developments within the Annexation Territory. These improvements are an integral part of the physical environment of parcels within the Annexation Territory and the associated District, providing a positive enhancement of the community's character, attractiveness, and desirability. Collectively the improvements to be provided by the District and specifically for the Annexation Territory as part of Annexation Zone FF represent a physical extension of those parcels, and if the improvements are not properly maintained, it is these parcels that would be aesthetically burdened. Additionally, street landscaping serves as a pleasant aesthetic amenity that enhances the approach to the parcels and in some cases, serves as both a physical buffer as well as a sound reduction buffer between the roadways and the properties within the District/Zone. Likewise, the landscaped areas for some of the Zones within the District may include landscaped parks, green spaces, slopes, or trails that provide visually pleasing open space areas that serve as an extension of the physical attributes of the parcels assessed, such as their front or rear yards and may also provide a greater opportunity for recreation. As a result, the maintenance of these landscaped improvements and amenities provides a particular and distinct benefit to the properties and developments within each respective Zone, including the proposed Annexation Territory.
STREET LIGHTING
Street lighting in the District is primarily useful for illuminating the streets that provide access to the properties in the District as well as the sidewalks and parking lanes associated with those properties. While it is recognized that both streetlights and traffic signals serve in part to enhance traffic safety, installation and construction of these improvements were clearly required by the development of properties within the District/Zone and these improvements provide three main special benefits to those properties: (i) property security benefit, (ii) pedestrian safety benefit, and (iii) parkway/roadway egress benefit. Furthermore, because traffic circulation in the City is largely the result of local traffic to and from these properties by the City of Reedley
Landscaping and Lighting
Maintenance District No. 1
Engineer's Report
Annexation Zone FF Fiscal Year - - • _ • 2025/2026
W w1LLDAN
property owners and guests, it is reasonable to assume that these properties derive a particular and distinct benefit from the streetlights and traffic signals that support the safe access to the properties and essentially all pedestrians and parking vehicles in the lit areas will, after dark, be directly associated with the assessed properties. As a result, the maintenance of these lighting improvements is a particular and distinct benefit to the properties in Zone FF.
GENERAL BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Pursuant to the 1972 Act and the provisions of the California Constitution, the costs of the DistricUZone are apportioned by a formula or method that fairly distributes the net amount to be assessed among all assessable parcels in proportion to the special benefit to be received by each such parcel from the improvements. Article XIIID requires that a parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Article XIIID also requires the agency to separate the general benefit from special benefit and that only special benefit is assessable.
In reviewing the location and extent of the specific landscaped areas and improvements to be funded by the proposed assessment for the Zone/Annexation Territory and the proximity and relationship to properties to be assessed, it is evident these improvements were primarily installed in connection with the development of properties within the Annexation Territory. It is also evident that the maintenance of these improvements and the level of maintenance provided has a direct and particular impact (special benefit) on those properties and such maintenance beyond that which is required to ensure the safety and protection of the general public and property in general, has no quantifiable benefit to the public at large or to properties outside the Annexation Territory/Zone.
In the absence of a special funding Zone, the City would typically provide only limited tree management, weed abatement, rodent control, and erosion control services for the various landscape easement areas.
This baseline level of service would typically provide for periodic servicing of the improvement areas (generally twice annually) or on an as-needed basis. This baseline level of service provides public safety and essential property protection to avoid negative impacts on adjacent roadways and vehicles traveling on those roadways and potential property damage resulting from fire hazards but results in a far less visually pleasing environment than is created with the enhanced levels of services associated with the regular landscape maintenance to be provided in the various District Zones.
APPORTIONMENT
The method of apportionment (method of assessment) is based on the premise that each assessed parcel receives special benefit from the improvements maintained, serviced, and funded by the assessments and specifically, the lighting, landscape and irrigation improvements installed in connection with the development of these parcels. The desirability of properties within the District is enhanced by the presence of wellmaintained lighting and landscaping improvements in close proximity to those properties.
The costs to provide maintenance and servicing of the improvements within or adjacent to the original area and each annexation area represent a zone of benefit (referred to throughout as "Zone") and provide a distinct and special benefit to each parcel in the Zone. The costs to provide maintenance and servicing of the improvements for each Zone are determined and are fairly and equitably distributed among each assessable parcel in the Zone based upon the estimated special benefit received by each parcel. The costs of the Report and District administration are fairly and equitably distributed to all Zones, including those that have no improvements or that are fully or partially self-maintained.

W w1LLDAN
In addition to the use of Zones, the method of apportionment established for the District to reflect the proportional special benefit of each parcel utilizes a weighted methodology of apportionment commonly referred to as an Equivalent Benefit Unit ("EBU") methodology.
For the purposes of this Engineer's Report, an EBU is the quantum of benefit derived from the Zone improvements by a single-family residential parcel. The single-family residential parcel has been selected as the basic unit for calculation of assessments. Thus, the "benchmark" property (the single-family residential parcel) derives one EBU of benefit and is assigned 1.00 Equivalent Benefit Unit.
An assessment amount per EBU ("Rate") for the Zone improvements is established by taking the total cost of the improvements and dividing that amount by the total number of EBUs for parcels benefiting from such improvements.
Total Balance to Levy/ Total EBUs = Levy per EBU ("Rate") This amount is then applied back to each parcel's individual EBU to determine each parcel's proportionate benefit and assessment obligation.
Rate x Parcel EBU = Parcel Levy Amount
LAND USE CLASSIFICATIONS
Every parcel within the District is assigned a land use classification based on available parcel information obtained from the County Assessor's Office. It has been determined that parcel use and size are the appropriate factors necessary to identify and calculate the proportional special benefits conveyed to each property within the District and respective Zone for the cost of improvements associated with that property.
The following provides an overall description of the various land use classifications assigned to properties in the proposed Zone FF and the proportional special benefit (weighted allocation) for those land uses. The proposed Zone FF will be comprised of lots identified as Residential Single-Family Parcels and VacanUUndeveloped Parcels.
Residential Single-Family Parcels (SFR) - This classification may include but is not limited to all subdivided residential tract lots (with or without structures); townhomes; condominiums; or other single-family residential units on a single parcel. The single-family residential parcel has been selected as the basic unit for calculation of assessments, and each is assigned one (1 .00) Equivalent Benefit Unit.
Vacant/Undeveloped Parcels (VAC/UNDV) - This classification includes properties that are identified as parcels with no development but have development potential. Although it is recognized that the improvements provided within the various Zones of the District were primarily constructed and installed as the result of property development, it is also recognized that the majority of these improvements were constructed in part to support the overall development of properties within the District and/or Zone to their full and best use, including vacant undeveloped properties. Therefore, parcels identified as VacanUUndeveloped Parcels shall be assigned a proportional EBU that is twenty-five percent (25%) of the developed non-residential property, or 1.75 EBU per acre, up to a maximum of five (5) acres per parcel.

EXEMPT PARCELS
The following are exempt from the assessment: areas of streets, avenues, lanes, roads, drives, courts, alleys, public easements, rights-of-way, parkways, and drainage/pond basins. Also exempt are utility rights-of-way used exclusively for utility transmission, common areas (such as in condominium complexes), land dedicated as open space or parks, landlocked parcels, and small parcels vacated by the City, as these parcels do not benefit from the improvements. In addition, public schools, government agencies, and parcels with no road frontage will not be assessed.
ASSESSMENT RANGE FORMULA
The maximum assessment amount allowed for each fiscal year shall be adjusted annually by an amount equal to the percentage increase of the CPI for the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward area for Urban Consumers, as developed by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, annually. The Assessment Range Formula shall be applied to the maximum assessment rates developed for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 and shall be applied in each subsequent fiscal year unless the City Council formally suspends its application.

PART C - ESTIMATED COST OF THE IMPROVEMENTS
The 1972 Act provides that the estimated costs of the improvements shall include the total cost of the improvements, including incidental expenses, which may include reserves to operate the District until funds are collected on the County tax rolls and are transferred to the City from the County around December/January of the current fiscal year.
The 1972 Act also provides that the amount of any surplus, deficit, or contribution be included in the estimated cost of improvements. The net amount to be assessed on the lots or parcels within LLMD No. 1 is the total cost of installation, maintenance, and servicing with adjustments either positive or negative for reserves, surpluses, deficits, and/or contributions.
The budget on the next page outlines the estimated costs to maintain the improvements at build-out and establishes the initial Maximum Assessment per EBU (Maximum Assessment Rate) and the proposed budget and maximum annual assessment rate for Fiscal Year 2025/2026.

TITLE: APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. 2025-073 OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF REEDLEY DELEGATING TO THE CITY MANAGER AUTHORITY TO
ADMINISTER AND MANAGE CLAIMS AND ACTIONS AGAINST THE CITY OR
ITS OFFICERS OR EMPLOYEES AND CLAIMS AND ACTIONS OF THE CITY SUBMITTED: Paul A. Melikian, Assistant City Manager
APPROVED: Nicole R. Zieba, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt the attached resolution delegating to the City Manager authority to administer and manage minor claims and actions against the City, its officers, or employees.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The attached resolution requests that the City Council approval to increase the delegated approval authority for general liability, workers' compensation, and contract claims against the City from $10,000 to $35,000. This revision is requested because the current threshold, last revised over 12 years ago, is no longer sufficient to expeditiously settle claims in a timely manner. This is primarily due to inflation, which reached the highest levels in 30 years post-pandemic, therefore even relatively minor claims can exceed this amount, requiring City Council approval to be settled. In certain cases where time is of the essence in negotiating a settlement, a delay waiting for a Council meeting can result in the claimant deciding to pursue further action against the City.
The delegated authority only applies to negotiated settlements valued at $35,000 or below that are not subject to the City's self-insurance pooling agreement with the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority. If the amount to be paid in the settlement exceeds $35,000, the approval of the City Council would continue to be obtained. The City Manager would continue to keep Council apprised of settlement activity below the approval threshold by providing a record of claims settled at a regularly scheduled Council meeting following finalization of the settlement.
BACKGROUND
On March 12, 2013, the Reedley City Council increased the delegated approval authority for claims against the City from $5,000 to $10,000, the first revision to the policy in approximately 25 years.
Resolution 2025-073 would supersede Resolution 2013-013 as adopted on March 12, 2013.
The California Government Claims Act (California Government Code Section 900 et. seq.) establishes general provisions regarding the processing of claims filed against cities, and authorizes the City to adopt local procedures not in conflict with state law. California Government Code Section 935.4 permits the City Council, by resolution, to authorize an employee of the City to perform claims administration functions under the Act and to allow, compromise, or settle a pending claim against the City in an amount not to exceed $50,000. Thus, the requested policy amendment is well within the allowable limit.
FISCAL IMPACT
Increasing the delegating approval authority from $10,000 to $35,000 is not anticipated to have any adverse fiscal impact to the City, as it will not change how the City has historically approached timely administration and settlement of claims for the best possible result for the City's tax and ratepayers. In certain cases where time is of the essence in negotiating a settlement, a delay waiting for the next Council meeting can result in the claimant deciding to pursue further action against the City, and actually result in higher cost to the City to defend the claim. The Council will be noticed of all claims settled at the soonest regularly schedule council meeting after settlement of the claim is finalized.

GRANT FROM THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
(CAL-TRANS) FOR $4,513
SUBMITTED: Sarah Reid

APPROVED: Nicole R. Zieba , ~ /
City Manager ~
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 2025-075 to apply, accept and execute an Airport Capital Improvement Program matching grant from the California Department of Transportation (Cal-Trans) for $4,513.
BACKGROUND
The City of Reedley has been awarded a grant in the amount of $90,267 for the design of the Runway End Lights Project. This award represents the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) 95% share of the total project cost.
When the application was submitted, staff requested funding under the Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) program, as a portion of these funds was nearing expiration. Unlike projects funded through the Airport Improvement Program (AIP), AIG-funded projects are not eligible for the additional 4.5% matching contribution available through the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
Upon award, the FAA issued the funding from AIP funding rather than the AIG funding. This shift in designation makes the project eligible for Caltrans' matching funds, which would reduce the City's local share of costs. Staff is currently working with the FAA to confirm the funding designation as the City does not want to lose the expiring AIG funding in the amount of $22,521. If efforts to secure the AIG designation are not successful, staff will proceed with submitting the necessary documentation to Caltrans to request the additional funding .
FISCAL IMPACT
FAA portion is $90,267; the State (Cal-Trans) will provide a match of $4,513. With the addition of the Cal Trans match, the City obligation reduces to $238. City is entitled to be reimbursed for administrative time, not to exceed two percent of the project cost which reduces the actual City match. All matches and staff expenses are covered by the Airport Enterprise Account, not the General Fund .
COMMITTEE/COMMISSION REVIEW/ACTIONS
At the September 19, 2024 regular Airport Commission meeting, it was recommended the City Council approval to submit preapplications for the design of the Installation of Runway End Lights Project and the design of the Aviation Fuel Facility Replacement Project.
At the October 22, 2024, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-079 authoring the City Manager to execute and submit a fiscal year 2025 Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Grant Application to the FAA for design of the Installation of the Runway End Lights Project.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025-076, a resolution of intention to annex territory ("Annexation No. 23") stating the City Council 's intention to annex the following properties: APN'S 370- 040-21 and 370-131-07 into the City's Community Facilities District No. 2005-1 (Public Services) ("CFO") and setting the date of the public hearing for November 18, 2025.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A condition to annex into the CFO was imposed on new developments being processed by the City in November of 2005, when the District was established. Since that time, all properties must petition to be annexed to the existing CFO when development is proposed. The approval of the resolution of intention is required to begin the process of annexation provided by the conditions of approval for the development projects listed in the table below.
BACKGROUND
On November 8, 2005, the City Council adopted Resolution 2005-122, which established the City of Reedley's Community Facility District No. 2005-1 (Public Services). All developments processed after that date are required to annex to the CFO as a condition of development. The CFO was established to fund police, fire and parks maintenance services based on the increased need resulting from new development.
To initiate the process for annexation of a territory or territories to a CFO, the Council must approve a Resolution of Intention ("ROI") to annex territory to the CFO. The ROI included with this report includes various actions necessary for the annexation to the CFO. The Rate and Method of Apportionment ("RMA") referred to in the ROI is as adopted by the Council with the Resolution of Formation 2005-122 and Ordinance 2005-09. Previous property annexations have been completed every year since formation of the CFO.
The areas to be annexed are shown below and on the attached map, which will be submitted by the City Clerk to the Fresno County Recorder's office within 15 days of adoption of the Resolution of Intention.

All of the property within the District, unless otherwise exempted by law or the express provisions of the rate and method of apportionment expressed below, shall be taxed to the extent and in the manner provided below.
It is intended that all special taxes applicable to parcels be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes, and that special taxes so levied will be subject to the same penalties and procedures, sale and lien priority in case of delinquency as is provided for ad valorem taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City Council may direct the collection of the special taxes by direct billing of the affected property owners; it determines to do so by resolution of the City Council.
Categories of Special Taxes
Category I
Category I includes each Developed Parcel within the District for which a building permit has been issued prior to July 1 of the current Fiscal Year.
The Maximum Special Tax that may be levied annually on Taxable Property in Category I beginning with the Fiscal starting July 1, 2006 is as set forth in Table 1 below. Said Maximum Special Tax shall increase each Fiscal Year thereafter by an inflation factor which is the Annual All Urban Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area.

Each parcel owned by a public agency, right-of-way parcels, pipelines, common areas, private streets and parks, and open space lots not eligible for development shall be exempt from the levy of Special Tax.
Assignment to Categories and Levy of Annual Taxes
On or about July 1 of each year, but in any event in sufficient time to include the levy of the special taxes on the County's secured tax roll, the City Council or its designee shall determine the Tax Category for each Parcel within the District Parcels subject to levy shall be determined based upon the records of the City building department and/ or the Fresno County Assessor.
The City Council or its designee shall then determine the estimated Special Tax Liability for the Fiscal Year commencing such July 1 and the amount of special taxes to be levied on each Parcel as follows:
Step 1: Classify all Parcels that are Taxable Property in the District.
Step 2: Determine the maximum revenue which could be generated by Parcels classified as Category I by multiplying the total number of Dwelling Units for Developed Parcels classified as "Single Family 'Residential" by the Maximum Special Tax per Dwelling Unit for Parcels assigned to the Single Family Residential Category; and adding to that B-2
maximum revenue which could be generated by multiplying the total number of Dwelling Units for Developed Parcels classified as "Multi-Family Residential" by the Maximum Special Tax per Dwelling Unit for Parcels assigned to the Multi-Family Residential Category; and adding to that maximum revenue which could be generated by multiplying the total number of Dwelling Units for Developed Parcels classified as "Affordable Housing" by the Maximum Special Tax per Dwelling Unit for Parcels assigned to the Affordable Housing Category; and adding to that the maximum revenue which could be generated by multiplying the total net developable acreage for Developed Parcels classified as "Non-Residential" by the Maximum Special Tax per gross building square foot for Parcels assigned to the Non-Residential Category; and adding to that the maximum revenue which could be generated by multiplying the total net developable acreage for Developed Parcels classified as "Infill NonResidential" by the Maximum Special Tax per gross building square foot for Parcels assigned to the Infill Non-Residential Category.
Step 3: If the total revenue as calculated in Step 2 is greater than the Estimated Special Tax Liability for the Fiscal Year, reduce the Special Tax for each Parcel proportionately so that the special tax levy for the Fiscal Year is equal to the estimated Special Tax Liability for the Fiscal Year.
Step 4: If the total revenue as calculated in Step 2 is less than the estimated Special Tax Liability for the applicable Fiscal Year, including the funding of a reserve fund for the District equal to 100% of the estimated annual costs, a Special Tax shall be levied upon each Parcel classified as Category II. The annual Category II special tax shall be calculated as the lessor of:
(i) The estimated Special Tax Liability, less the total of funds generated for all Parcels under Step 2 above, divided by the total Net Developable Acreage for all Parcels assigned to Category II
or
(ii) the aggregate Maximum Special Tax Rate for all Parcels assigned to Category II Not withstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate Special Tax levied upon all Parcels for any given year be greater than the estimated Special Tax Liability, including a reserve fund equal to 100% of the estimated annual costs for the District, as determined by the City Council or its designee.

APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL
RENEWAL DOCUMENTS AND PLAN CHANGES NECESSARY FOR THE
PROVISION OF DENTAL, MEDICAL, & VISION COVERAGE FOR ELIGIBLE CITY EMPLOYEES, RETIREES, AND DEPENDENTS FOR THE 2026 PLAN YEAR
Paul A. Melikian, Assistant City Manager ~
Nicole R. Zieba, City Manager~
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute all renewal plan documents necessary for the provision of dental, medical, and vision coverage and supporting services for eligible City employees, retirees and dependents for the 2026 calendar/plan year.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Over the last few months, the City's insurance broker representative, Arrow Benefits Insurance Services, solicited and negotiated bids from the City's current medical providers, Anthem Blue Shield of California, and Kaiser Permanente (Kaiser). After review of available options, staff recommends that the City retain both its existing HMO & PPO plans with provider Blue Shield of California, and Kaiser for the 2026 plan year with only nominal changes to coverage. Continuing with these providers will result in an approximate
6.0% increase to City contributions, or $142,228, for the 2026 plan year, based on the City's current contribution formula towards medical coverage for all full-time employees. This increase is less than the amount assumed in the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget, so there will be no additional impact to the City budget. This recommendation includes the City continuing to offer an optional Deductible plan from Kaiser, to assist employees who desire to remain with this provider but wish to avoid the monthly out of pocket cost sharing burden of their traditional HMO plan.
The Kaiser rates will increase 22% for the Traditional and Deductible HMO plans, despite vigorous negotiations by Arrow Benefits. After reaching out to other public agencies, it appears that these increases are happening across the board with Kaiser. It is important to note that this significant increase does not impact the City's budget since the City's established contribution formula towards medical coverage is the average of the two lowest medical premiums, which are currently the Anthem Blue Shield plans.
The Blue Shield plans again include a Wellness Allowance of $15,000 for the 2026 plan year. In past years, the Wellness Allowance has been used to sponsor employee participation in the annual Fiesta Run/Walk, various classes for Mental Health Awareness Month, and a step challenge with prizes culminating in a healthy lunch. The Wellness Allowance is considered a base plan benefit and cannot be traded for lower premiums. Kaiser does not offer this benefit.
BACKGROUND
The City's current contribution formula towards medical coverage for all full-time employees is the average of the two lowest medical premiums for employee only, employee +1 and family plans. For the 2026 plan year, Kaiser is again requiring a large increase to their plans of 22%, which keeps it as the highest priced option, and the plans with the most out of pocket expense for employees. Additional detail can be found in the attached comparison of 2026 rates to 2025. Last year's Kaiser premium increase was 17.9%, and 16% the year before, far outpacing Anthem Blue Shield plans. Every year, fewer employees are choosing to continue coverage with Kaiser.
Kaiser Deductible Plan
First offered in 2025, and continuing on for 2026 is the Kaiser Deductible plan, which is available to employees alongside the traditional Kaiser HMO. The Deductible plan carries a lower monthly cost to employees in exchange for deductibles of $1 ,500 for an individual and $3,000 for a family. Out of pocket maximums and copays are also increased under this plan . During open enrollment, City staff and representatives from Arrow Benefits Insurance Services will provide outreach to employees covered by Kaiser to make sure they understand the pros and cons of each plan offering. Offering this optional plan has no impact to the City budget.
Medicare Supplement Plan
The City maintains a group Medicare Supplement Plan for eligible City retirees and dependents, which is renewed each year at the same time medical plans are being set for eligible active employees and under 65 retirees (non-Medicare eligible) and their dependents. For 2026, no change is recommended to the provider. The City's portion of the monthly premium rate is increasing 6.02%, from $15,704 to $16,650, which is under budgeted assumptions. The increase last year was 2.43%, and 4.66% the year before.
Vision Coverage
The City's vision benefit is provided by Blue Shield of California. The City currently pays a composite rate of $18.43 per employee, which will remain unchanged for 2026. Retirees and their dependents do not receive vision coverage from the City.
Dental Coverage
There are no changes proposed to the City's dental coverage for the 2026 plan year. The City has been self-insured/funded for dental coverage since 2013. At that time, the City elected to maintain the coverage structure as it was when paying premiums into a standard dental insurance plan. Year after year, this self-funded benefit has generated significant savings to the City with no impact to employee and dependent dental care. Retirees and their dependents do not receive dental coverage from the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
The net increase to City contributions will be 6.0% across all medical plans, which is below budgeted assumptions this fiscal year. The average increase to the City's contributions to medical plans over the last five years is 5.05%. Actual increases over this period were 8.0% (2025), 1.11 % (2024), 8.56% (2023),
5.48% (2022), and 2.1 % (2021 ).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff is requesting that the City of Reedley City Manager be granted authority to execute two (2) original sets of Amendment I to Agreement with the County of Fresno for CDBG Project No. 24571, Rupert and Church Reconstruction from Dinuba Avenue to Curtis Avenue (Project). Staff will deliver
said agreement to Fresno County on or before October 17, 2025, for the County Board of Supervisors approval at their December meeting.
In conjunction with the authority for City Manager to execute the project agreement, Staff is requesting that Council adopt Budget Resolution No. 2025-082 in the amount of $129,454 to fully fund design, construction , construction management and contingencies to complete the Project.
BACKGROUND
On September 10, 2024, the City and County of Fresno entered into Agreement No. 24-495 for the Project where $424,530 in allocated CDBG funds were made available for the Project. Due to the full cost of the Project exceeding the CDBG funds, local Measure C funds were anticipated to be used to fully fund the Project.
On September 23, 2025, the Engineering Department took an item to City Council to award a construction contract to Don Berry Construction, Inc. and a budget resolution to fully fund the construction of the Project with CDBG funds and Measure C flexible funds. After awarding the contract the County asked Engineering Staff if additional CDBG funds could be used on the project to help use all of the City of Reedley allocated CDBG funds this fiscal year instead of carrying over funds into the next fiscal year. Staff informed the County that the City would be able to use additional funds on the project and, therefore, before Council is the request to use additional CDBG funds to fully fund the Project.
Amendment I to Agreement 24-495 will revise the CDBG funds from $424,530 to $553,984. The proposed funding summary in the amended agreement for CDBG Project No. 24571 has been amended to be all CDBG funded as shown on page 2 of the amendment.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of Amendment I to Agreement 24-495 will appropriate an additional $129,454 in CDBG funds to the Project for a total of $553,984. The project will be fully funded with CDBG funds with the allocation of the additional funds.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTIONS
On September 26, 2023, the City Council held a public hearing and adopted Resolution No. 2023- 072 approving the reconstruction of Rupert and Church Avenues from Dinuba to Curtis Avenue as the 2025-26 CDBG Project.
On September 23, 2025, the City Council adopted Budget Resolution No. 2025-067 appropriating funds for the Project and adopted Resolution No. 2025-068 awarding a construction contract to Don Berry Construction, Inc. for the Project.

A FUTURE CITY COUNCIL & PUBLIC MEETING FACILITY

MEETING FACILITY
SUBMITTED: Paul A. Melikian , Assistant City Manager
APPROVED: Nicole R. Zieba, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council 1) Adopt Resolution No. 2025-078 approving and authorizing the City Manager to execute all documents necessary for the purchase of 1710 9th Street in Reedley for $600,000, and 2) Adopt Budget Resolution No. 2025-079 appropriating $600,000 in the General Fund for such purposes.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The current City Council Chamber in City Hall is 1,134 square feet and serves many purposes. In addition to City Council meetings, it is the meeting location of many of the City's boards & commissions, including Planning Commission, Traffic Safety Commission, and Streetscape Committee. The space also serves as one of the few rooms outside of the Community Center that is large enough for staff trainings, speaking events, administrative hearings, job interviews, and other public uses. As the City has grown in population and employee count, the room is routinely at capacity or overflowing with standing room only during Council meetings, popular employee training events, and is at times double booked. In addition, when the Police Department moves into the space currently occupied by City Hall, the existing double-wide trailer will be removed , and the department will be in need of a large secure meeting room for training, press events, and meetings.
In 2024, the City Council authorized staff to pursue options for a City Council Chamber facility, which included pursuing the purchase of the roughly 3,000 square foot former Citibank building at 171 O 9th Street, which is located across the street from both the existing City Hall on one corner, the future City Hall on the other corner, with Pioneer Park rounding out the last corner. The building is currently listed for sale for $675,000 and the owners have accepted an offer for $600,000, which is 12.5% less than listed. The deteriorating building has been vacant for well over a decade, and has been listed for sale for several years.
BACKGROUND
City Hall and Police Headquarters are currently both at capacity, with no room to develop additional workspaces to accommodate current and future space needs for the next generation, to serve the City for the next 25-30 years. The City's current challenges with available facility space have been well documented, and staff have been actively working on options for developing additional space for City Hall and the Police Department since 2022.
In October 2024, the City Council authorized the purchase of 936 G Street for a future City Hall facility. for $1 .3 million, less than the appraised value. Since completing the purchase, staff have completed preliminary design work to plan the best use of the existing space. The result of the planning process confirmed that while the approximately 12,000 square foot building is of sufficient size to hold all of City Hall operations as well as provide space for growth in the future; however, there is not sufficient available space for a City Council Chamber. During the space planning process over the last several years, staff learned that a future City Council Chamber would need to be approximately 2,800 square feet in order to meet the needs of the City for years to come. 1710 9th Street is approximately 3,000 square feet; therefore, is expected to be large enough to meet current and future needs for public meeting space after an extensive interior renovation.
FISCAL IMPACT
The funding source for the purchase of 1710 9th Street is derived from a one-time higher than anticipated fund balance in the General Fund as June 30, 2025, which represents the end of the City's fiscal year.
The amount of carryover is influenced by hundreds of factors ranging from the performance of various revenue streams to the aggregate effect of departmental expenditures across all accounts in the General Fund. Staff conservatively estimates the year end fund balance; therefore, it is typical that the carryover fund balance into the new fiscal year will be positive and sometimes higher than assumed in the Proposed Budget.
Once the purchase is complete, staff will immediately begin cleaning up the exterior of the property, and developing options for renovating the building and grounds to meet the needs of the City as a City Council Chamber and public meeting space. One such option will be to pursue the renovation of the facility at the same time as the future City Hall across the street, provided an acceptable financing plan can be worked out. While it is expected that renovation costs of this property will exceed its purchase price, the overall cost of the project is anticipated to be far less than pursuing new construction.

TITLE: RECEIVE, REVIEW, AND FILE THE QUARTERLY INVESTMENT REPORT FOR FIRST QUARTER ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 SUBMITTED: Paul A. Melikian, Assistant City Manager~
APPROVED: Nicole R Zieba, City Manager vi('
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council receive, review, and file the Quarterly Investment Report for 1st Quarter Fiscal Year 2025-26, ending September 30, 2025, as required by the City's Investment Policy last adopted on January 14, 2025. No action is required other than to receive, review, and file the report.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Portfolio earnings, net of fees, for 1stquarter ending September 30, 2025 total $321 ,052. Prior 1st quarter net portfolio earnings for the same 12-month period one year ago were $622,199, a record for the City.
This year's Adopted Budget assumes $1 ,152,800 in interest earnings for the entire fiscal year; therefore, actual earnings are about 27.8% of budget at the end of the first quarter. Earnings are less than last fiscal year, primarily due to lower short-term interest rates and lower cash balances that are available to invest.
Interest earnings are expected continue a slow downward trend following short-term interest rates . The Fed cut its benchmark rate by a quarter point to 4.00%-4.25% at its September meeting. At that meeting, Fed policymakers were narrowly split on the rest of the year, with 10 officials projecting two more cuts and nine seeing one or no additional reductions. As of now, staff expects to continue earning interest earnings on idle public funds consistent with budgeted levels, and not at the same level as the last couple of years.
The attached investment/pooled cash report shows additional detail for cash balances by City fund. The 'treasury pool' for the City, representing the cumulative balance of all funds, totals $27,305,047 as of September 30, 2025, lower than cash on hand of $34,152,883 from last quarter ending June 30, 2025. The treasury pool from the same 12-month period one year ago was $30,955,198 as of September 30, 2024.
The cash balances in individual City funds are at a point in time only, and do not reflect pending receivable or payable amounts.
BACKGROUND
All financial investment instruments are constantly monitored and assessed for safety, liquidity, and yield, in that order. It is important to note that the City's principal value of these investments is always secure, and the values that are being reported are the market values at a specific point in time. All investments in the portfolio are compliant with the City's current Investment Policy, and staff does not anticipate any issues regarding the City's ability to meet expenditure requirements for the next six months. (Government Code section 53646)
On January 14, 2025 the City Council approved the annual statement of investment policy. The policy includes a self-imposed, 'best practice' reporting requirement to implement a Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommendation that an agency's investment policy explicitly require periodic reporting. The attached Pooled Cash Report for the end of 1st quarter fiscal year 2025-26 shows cash balances/market value and interest earnings for every cash account and investment vehicle as of September 30, 2025. It is important to note that the pooled cash report also includes restricted funds such as enterprise funds , deposits in trust, funds held for groundwater treatment, and RDA Successor Agency funds. Full account statements for all accounts are on file with the Administrative Services Department and available for inspection at any time.
Cash balances are pooled for investment and banking purposes, as it is not practical to have separate investment accounts for each City fund. Interest earnings are apportioned to each City fund based upon the percentage that a particular fund balance makes up of the total. For instance, if the City's General Fund balance was 10% of the total cash balances of the City, it would be credited with 10% of the investment interest earnings for the period.
