REAS
ON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Th
ese emergency repairs are critical to ensure the protection of health, safety, and welfare of City residents and to protect the Wastewater Treatment Facilities. The City’s Domestic and Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant are still undergoing critical maintenance and repair. Remaining tasks include cleaning, inspecting, repairing, and applying new epoxy remaining clarifiers, the thickener, and the DAF unit coating and repairs, inspecting, repairing, and replacing the decayed lines leading from Headworks as well as refurbishing. Additionally, as repair and maintenance efforts progress, previously unanticipated deficiencies and infrastructure issues have continued to emerge, necessitating immediate attention to prevent further system degradation and ensure uninterrupted plant operations. 14
FISCAL IMPACT:
The exact fiscal impact is not fully known at this time as the work is being performed on a Time and Material basis due to the time sensitivity, but Staff will provide an updated budget for the project at further upcoming Council meetings.
Any additional costs for more repairs and materials will be brought back to City Council and addressed appropriately. The costs will be funded from Sewer Enterprise funds.
ALTERNATIVES:
No recommended alternatives. Until all repairs and maintenance are done, the Wastewater Treatment Plant remains non-compliant.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:
Per the Resolution, Staff will provide Council updates and seek ratification of any contracts at those meetings. 15

SUBJECT: 2025/26 Transportation Development Act (TDA) Claim
Please find attached to the email sent to you the following information and forms:
(1) Electronic Forms for the 2025/26 Transportation Development Act (TDA) claim. A “Penciled in” draft claim is included to facilitate your claim.
(2) A copy of the 2025/26 Local Transportation Fund (LTF) estimates and the Final STA estimates per the State Controller’s methodology that are scheduled to be adopted by the FCOG Board on May 29, 2025.
(3) A summary of Fresno County Rural Transit Agency’s 2025/26 budget.
A copy of the Transportation Development Act Rules and Regulations manual can be viewed online at https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dot-media/programs/rail-mass-transportation/documents/f0009844-tda-07- 2018-a11y.pdf.
Special Instructions:
Prepare the Claim in accordance with your budget. Adopt the claim by Resolution (same as last year) and return the claim and resolution to Fresno COG. Or if you have a continuing resolution, return the claim with a copy of your continuing resolution.
Timing:
Claims submitted to the Fresno COG Board for adoption must go through the Transportation Technical Committee, the Policy Advisory Committee, and Fresno COG Policy Board. This usually means that our Board will adopt your claim the month after we receive it providing that we receive it in time to make the TTC agenda mail out on the last Wednesday of the month.
The Process:
(1) The Fresno COG Board adopts the annual estimated fund apportionment for LTF. (2) Member Agencies reserve their annual portion of the fund:
a. A Claim is prepared in accordance with the agencies’ annual operating budget. b. The Claim is adopted by Resolution of the Local Agency Board. c. The Claim is adopted by Resolution of the Fresno COG Board. (3) LTF sales tax receipts are deposited monthly in the County Trust Fund, from the State Board of Equalization. Fresno COG sends allocation instructions to the County of Fresno Auditor Controller each quarter to issue checks to agencies based on the availability of sales tax, the unpaid Claim balance, and the priority of the Claim.
a. Transit is paid first.
b. Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities are paid second.
c. Streets and Roads are paid last.
(4) At year end the total tax receipts are compared to the original apportionment estimate. Shortfalls are deducted from the unpaid Article 8 Streets and Roads Claim balance pro rata. A surplus may be claimed as Article 3 Bike and Pedestrian, Article 4 Transit or Article 8 Streets and Roads and is paid out in the first quarter of the following fiscal year. A year-end report will be sent to each agency detailing the allocations paid during the year and the unpaid Claim balance. The allocation detail will 34
facilitate agency year end close out and audit. The unpaid Claim balance should become a receivable from Fresno COG on the agency financial statements.
Eligibility and Compliance:
Article 4 – Transit
Detailed rules for eligibility and compliance for expenditure of Article 4 – Transit funds can be found in the Transportation Development Act Statutes and California Code of Regulations. Generally, any legitimate Transit operating or capital expense is eligible as long as the Section 6667 compliance requirements are followed.
Article 3 – Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities
Eligibility and compliance for expenditure of Article 3 funds are detailed in the Transportation Development Act Statutes and California Code of Regulations Section 99234.
Article 8a – Streets and Roads
The Fresno COG Board adopted the State Controller’s Office “Guidelines relating to Gas Tax Expenditure” as the criteria for determining eligibility of Article 8a. Generally, funds are eligible to be spent for any street related repair, maintenance, or construction. A copy of the Guidelines can be downloaded at https://sco.ca.gov/Files-AUD/gas_tax_guidelines31219.pdf.
An audit of TDA funds expended by Article is required each year by Section 6664. Generally, Fresno COG contracts with one firm to provide a combined audit report of all non -transit funds expended by entity.
Various transit providers have the Transit Compliance Report done as part of their annual audit. The reports are due to the State Controller’s Office within 180 days after the last day of the fiscal year. Fresno COG has statutory authority to extend the deadline no more than 90 days. Agencies with delinquent audit reports are ineligible to receive TDA allocations until the delinquency is resolved. The initial cost of the non -transit audits is funded by Fresno COG administrative fees. Additional audit fees incurred to resolve audit findings or to provide Transit Compliance reports are charged against the agency’s Article 4 & 8 apportionment the following year. In the interest of facilitating audit requirements, the Fresno County Transportation Authority has requested that we expand the TDA audits to include Measure “C” compliance. Public Transportation Modernization, Improvement, and Service Enhancement (PTMISEA) sent to Transit Operators from the State Controller’s Office and SB1 State of Good Repair funds allocated by FCOG will also be subject to the audit.
If you have any questions concerning the claim or the process, please call me at 559- 233-4148.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
To:
Mayor and City Council Members
From: John Reynolds, Police Chief
Subject: Declaration of City Vehicles as Surplus Property Attachments: Exhibit A
CONF
LICT OF INTEREST:
None known
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve Resolution No. 2026-05 declaring the property listed in Attachment “A” as surplus property and authorizing the disposal or transfer of surplus property pursuant to Sanger City Code Section 2-212 and Government Code Section 37350.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Four (4) Police Department and seven (7) Public Works Department vehicles have reached their useful life and, due to age, mileage, wear, or mechanical condition, are no longer functional for City use.
Because of their current condition, it would not be prudent to continue expending City funds to make repairs or keep them operational.
Upon being declared surplus property, disposal of the vehicles will be coordinated by Police Department and Public Works staff pursuant to Sanger City Code Section 2-212 and Government Code Section 37350.
89
BACKGROUND:
Eleven (11) City of Sanger vehicles have been evaluated and determined to have reached their useful life to the City of Sanger. Due to their age, mileage, and mechanical condition, continued maintenance would require extensive and costly repairs to keep the vehicles in safe and operable condition for use by city personnel.
Sanger City Code Section 2-212 (a) and (b) state as follows:
Sec. 2-212. - Surplus supplies and equipment.
(a) The using department shall submit to the purchasing agent, at such times and in such forms as the purchasing agent shall prescribe reports showing all supplies, materials and equipment which are no longer used, or which have become obsolete or worn out. The purchasing agent shall have authority to sell as surplus such supplies, materials and equipment which cannot be used by any department or which have become unsuitable for city use, or to exchange, or trade in the same on new supplies, materials or equipment, or otherwise dispose of supplies, materials and equipment which have no further economic value to the City.
(b) In lieu of selling, exchanging or trading surplus property, the city council may authorize the transfer and conveyance of surplus property to another public agency or agencies, or to civic, charitable or educational institutions upon the council's finding that such transfer and conveyance will serve a public purpose. (Ord. No. 858, § 1(2.47), 11-21-91)
The Police and Public Works Departments recommend declaring these vehicles as surplus property. Upon approval of the resolution, Police and Public Works Department staff will, in accordance with Sanger City Code Section 2-212 and Government Code Section 37350, coordinate their disposal through an appropriate method such as auction or interagency sale, with any proceeds returned to the City of Sanger general fund.
The related vehicles include the following:
See Exhibit “A”
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommend these vehicles be decommissioned from the Police and Public Works Department’s fleet and declared surplus property through the established procedures and in accordance with City Code and State law. This recommendation supports the City’s goal of reducing fleet size and maintenance costs while maintaining an efficient and reliable fleet for operational needs.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon the sale of the vehicles, the City can expect to receive proceeds consistent with fair market or auction value, less applicable fees. All proceeds will be deposited into the City of Sanger general fund.
ALTERNATIVES:
If no action is taken, the vehicles will remain in the City’s fleet and stored, resulting in continued storage and potential maintenance costs.
90
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:
All preparations for the disposal of the listed vehicles will be made by Police and Public Works Department staff. This item is not time sensitive.

at the City Council:
• Re
view and approve the use of Measure S and successor Measure R funds for the proposed technology initiative.
• Approve a sole source purchase agreement with Blue Voice, Inc. for the implementation of the closed-loop AI knowledge and decision-support platform for the Police and Fire Departments. • Approve the necessary budget modification to allocate Measure S and Measure R funds for this project.
• Authorize the City Manager to execute the contract and any related documents. 94
\\nas1\shared\Forms & Templates
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On February 3, 2026, the Citizens Oversite Committee (COC) reviewed and recommended approval.
Staff recommends that the City Council appr ove a s ole source agreement with Blue Voi ce, Inc. to implement a secure, cl osed-loop artificial intelligence (AI) knowledge and decision-support platform for the Police and Fire Departments. This platform will provide real-time, mobi le a c cess to de
partment-approved policies, procedures, laws, medical protocols, and operational reference materials, enhancing decision-making and reducing risk in high-pressure environments.
Blue Voice is the only vendor offering a closed-loop AI system purpose-built for public safety operations, ensuring compliance with City-approved content and eliminating reliance on open internet sources. Funding will be provided through Measure S and successor Measure R public safety allocations, with no impact to the City’s General Fund. The Citizens Oversite Committee has reviewed and recommended approval.
BACKGROUND:
Police officers and firefighters frequently make complex, time-sensitive decisions in dynamic environments. Traditional reference methods such as printed manuals and static PDFs are inadequate for real-time operational needs. Blue Voice addresses this gap by providing a mobile-native, browser-b ased platform that delivers immediate, voice-a ctivated or text-based answers sourced exclusively from City-approved documents.
The platform’s closed -loop architecture ensures data security and compliance with public-sector AI governance standards. It also supports training and policy development through anonymized
analytics and machine-learning improvements over time.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Operational and Safety Benefits (Police and Fire):
• Rapid, voice-activated and text-based access to policies, procedures, laws, medical and first-aid protocols, and community resources
• Improved decision-making during high-stress and time-critical incidents • Increased consistency in policy interpretation and application • Enhanced officer and firefighter safety
• Reduction in errors and potential liability exposure
• Increased efficiency by allowing forms and other documents to be completed in real time and routed electronically.
Training and Organizational Benefits:
• Anonymized analytics to identify training needs and policy clarification opportunities • Machine-learning–enabled improvement of search relevance over time • Highlighting of key policy passages for quick reference • Supports continuous learning and professional development 95
\\nas1\shared\Forms & Templates
Te
chnology and Data Governance:
• Closed-loop enterprise AI architecture
• Content restricted to City-approved materials
• No reliance on open or public internet data sources
• Designed specifically for public safety operational use SO
LE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION:
Sec.
2-208 lists sole source purchases as an exception from the formal, centralized purchasing procedures.
Those provisions are:
1. Unique or Specialized Features
Blue Voice provides proprietary technology and integration capabilities unavailable from other vendors, including:
Closed-loop AI architecture restricted to City-approved content Mobile-native and browser-based deployment
Voice command and text-based query functionality
AI-assisted summaries derived solely from department-controlled documents Proprietary interface for agency-specific customization \ Anonymized analytics for training and policy development
2. Efforts to Locate Other Suppliers
The Police and Fire Departments researched alternative vendors and found no other provider offering a comparable closed-loop AI platform purpose-built for public safety operations.
3. Sole Source Availability
Blue Voice has confirmed in writing that it is the only vendor offering this combination of features and architecture. No other vendor provides an equivalent solution.
4. Cost and Determination Process
Pricing was evaluated based on multi-year implementation costs, scalability, and comparison with similar technology investments. The phased cost structure ensures fiscal responsibility and alignment with Measure S funding.
5. Justification for Sole-Source Exception
Due to the proprietary nature of Blue Voice’s platform and its unique alignment with public safety operational needs, competitive bidding is impracticable. A sole source agreement is recommended.
6. Disclosure Statement
The Chief of Police, Fire Chief, and all individuals involved in evaluating and recommending this purchase affirm that no conflicts of interest exist and that all findings comply with applicable procurement policies.
FI
SCAL IMPACT:
The
agreement will be funded exclusively through Measure S and successor Measure R public safety 96
\\nas1\shared\Forms & Templates
allo
cations. Estimated costs:
• FY 2026–27: Not to exceed $9,500 (combined Police and Fire) • FY 2027–28: Not to exceed $14,250
• FY 2028–29: Not to exceed $19,000
No impact on the City’s General Fund. Budget modifications will be processed administratively following Council approval.
ALT
ERNATIVES:
1. Do not
adopt the resolution and continue to rely on existing manual and static reference systems.

ONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

CITY OF SANGER
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
To:
Mayor and City Council
From: Esperanza Rosales, Public Works Director
Subject: Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Master Encroachment Agreements with Public Utility Providers
Attachments: 1) Authorizing Resolution-2026-07
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
None known.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-07, authorizing the City Manager to enter into Master Encroachment Agreements with public utility providers (including electrical, gas, and telecommunications) for large -scale infrastructure projects for a period of three years, provided such agreements are determined to be in the best interest of the City and reviewed by the City attorney.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Sanger frequently receives requests from major utility providers (e.g. PG&E, Frontier, Comcast etc.) to make large-scale infrastructure improvements within the City’s public right-of-way. To manage large-scale utility replacement or expansions efficiently, the City seeks to implement Master Encroachment Agreements. A key feature of these agreements is the establishment of draw-down accounts, ensuring the City is fully reimbursed for all staff time and resources dedicated to project review, 104
inspections, and coordination. This resolution authorizes the City Manager to protect City assets while ensuring a “Cost-Neutral” impact on the City’s budget.
BACKGROUND
Large-scale utility projects – require extensive oversight from City Engineering, Public Works, and Planning staff. Without a Master Encroachment Agreement, the City often struggles to recover the full cost of staff time spent on long-term project oversight, site inspections, and technical reviews.
The City is currently seeing an increase in large-scale infrastructure projects that need a more robust management framework. The primary drivers for these Master Encroachment Agreements include:
• Fiber Optic Deployment: Telecommunication provider seeking to install high-speed internet networks. These projects involve thousands of linear feet of micro-trenching or boring, requiring constant City inspection to ensure sidewalk and street integrity. • Gas Main Replacements: Critical safety upgrades to aging gas infrastructure involve deep trenching and significant traffic control management. These projects often span multiple months and large work areas.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
This process provides a clear, transparent mechanism for the City to recover costs while facilitating necessary utility upgrades. It protects the City’s infrastructure and financial health by ensuring that “private” utility work is managed with zero cost to the general fund.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this resolution will have a positive fiscal impact. By utilizing draw-down accounts, the City will achieve full cost recovery for staff time spent on these projects. This ensures that the Engineering and Public Works departments have the necessary funding to manage the increased workload without impacting the General Fund.
ALTERNATIVES
Do not accept and provide staff with further direction, although not recommended.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
The City manager will have authority to enter into agreements with utility providers. 105

CITY OF SANGER
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
To: Mayor and Council Members
From: Esperanza Rosales, Public Works Director
Subject: Accept Funds from the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Zero-Emission Landscaping Equipment Voucher Program
Attac
hments: 1) Resolution 2026-08 and Budget Adjustment Form 2) Approved Vouchers G-275994 & G-275995
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff respectfully
recommends that the City Council (1) authorize the City Manager to allow the redemption of the Zero -E mission Landscaping Equipment Voucher Program (“ZELE”) voucher from San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (“SJVAPCD”); (2) adopt R esolution No. 2026-08 for a budget amendment to the FY 2025-2026 Budget to record the receipt and appropriation of $30,0 00 from SJVAPCD.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The SJVAPCD currently is offering a Zero- Em ission Landscaping Equipment Voucher Program that helps public agencies purchase new electric equipment for landscape maintenance. The funding is for up to $15,000 per piece of equipment and it is on a first -come f irst-serve basis. The ZELE Program provides incentives to swap old gas-pow ered landscaping gear for new electric alternatives. It acts as a voucher system, not a rebate, where eligible public agencies must receive approval before purchasing new, approved electric equipment. The City’s has identified the need for two new mow ers to be utilized by the Public Works Department for the Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District and for the Parks and Recreation Department for the Parks Division.
BACKGROUND:
City staff identified a voucher opportunity through the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (S
JVAPCD) that provides up to $15,000 per piece of equipment for agencies that perform their own 109
landscape maintenance and wish to replace older gas‑powered equipment with new electric models. Public Works staff determined that two broken, outdated mowers in need of replacement meet the eligibility criteria for the SJVAPCD Zero‑Emission Landscape Equipment (ZELE) Program. In June 2025, the Public Works Department applied to the ZELE Program with the goal of replacing these two aging, non‑functional lawn mowers currently sitting unused at the City Yard. The City was notified in January 2026 that the vouchers had been approved.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
The Public Works Department can utilize new mowers to be used in the maintenance of our Parks, Street Medians and Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Districts, replacing two non-functioning gas mowers.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The immediate fiscal impact is a $ 30,000 increase in grant revenue and a corresponding $ 30,000 expenditure appropriation within the FY 2025-2026 budget. This voucher program will directly offset the total purchase price of the new electric equipment therefore being cost neutral.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council could decide not to accept the grant funds; and the City would lose $30,000 in funding intended to offset the cost of the new electric equipment.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:
City staff will initiate the procurement of the new electric equipment according to the City's Purchasing Policy and will make the appropriate budgetary entries to reflect the acceptance of the funds and the expenditures.

EXE
CUTIVE SUMMARY:
St
aff requests that the City Council approve Miles Chemical Company Inc to provide the City of Sanger with sodium hypochlorite and new storage tanks.

the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of our delivery.
Staff obtained several vendor quotes for the price per gallon of sodium hypochlorite, cost per delivery, and telemetry costs. Other considerations while reviewing proposals were the installation of new and larger tanks, safety/compliance, customer and technical support, and reliability of delivery.
The proposed larger storage tanks will reduce the number of deliveries that will need to be made which will, in effect, reduce the cost to the C ity. The proposed price per gallon is at a rate much lower than our current rate which will also significantly aid in reducing costs. Currently, the C ity has no telemetry to monitor our supply. The telemetry, which will be at a cost of $15 per month per location and only if a delivery has been made to that location that month, will allow staff to see volumes in real time, will notify staff if levels are critically low (this will be especially important if there is a leak), will greatly increase our efficiency when requesting deliveries to be made, and will aid in making reporting accessible. With sodium hypochlorite, safety is a major component that must be considered. In terms of support, Miles Chemical Company Inc is located locally in Madera and has the ability to respond to emergencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Technical support is available for the products they provide, and they have a reputation as a customer service friendly organization. Their reps are also just a phone call or e-mail away in response to anything the City may need.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
The City will be gaining new storage tanks, will be requiring fewer deliveries per tank, will be purchasing the sodium hypochlorite at a reduced price per gallon, will have access to 24/7 telemetry, and will be receiving enhanced support for our chlorine needs.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The FY 2025/26 budget has existing appropriations in the Water Fund, account #611-070-401-6129, for the City’s sodium hypochlorite consumption. The City expects the change in vendor will save the Water Fund $25,000 annually.
ALTERNATIVES:
Do not approve the agreement. Staff will continue to use our current supplier at a greater cost.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:
Once approved, the City Manager will sign the agreement on behalf of the City. The lead time for receiving new tanks is expected to be about seven weeks. Once the tanks are received, the expected time of exchanging out the old tanks for the new ones will be one to two days.

\\nas1\shared\Forms & Templates
BACKGROUND:
Cal Gold Development Corp. submitted an application on behalf of Tractor Supply Company for Site Plan Review for the construction of a Tractor Supply Center on Academy Avenue, between North Avenue and Muscat Avenue. The application was processed as Site Plan Review (SPR) No. 2025-08.
During the application review process, S taff determined that a 12 -inch public water main, including any associated fire hydrant laterals, was required to be installed along the western boundary of the project site. The water main will connect to the existing public water mains located on Academy Avenue and Sanger Avenue, just east and north of the site , respectively. Staff also identified that a future master-planned well is located immediately west of the subject property. As a result, water main facilities are required not only to serve the proposed development, but also to accommodate future City infrastructure. To ensure long- term access for maintenance and operations, a water main easement is required as a condition of project approval.
Staff has completed its technical review and approved as to technical content the attached 20 -foot- wide water main easement. Staff recommends that the City Council accept the easement on behalf of the public.
The conditions of approval also required the applicant to permanently store all storm drainage runoff generated by the site. During the planning review phase, the applicant elected to propose this method of storm water disposal in lieu of extensive offsite improvements to connect to existing facilities in Muscat Avenue. In consideration of this request , Staff required that a covenant acceptable to the City Attorney and City Engineer be prepared. This ensures that the basin will be properly maintained, and no other use of the basin property shall be allowed unless the agreement is amended by the City and the property owner and recorded with the County. That covenant has been approved to form and executed by the property owner and is hereby recommended for approval and authorization for the City Manager to sign on behalf of the City.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
The easement is necessary to protect, and provide access for operation and maintenance of, a proposed water main pipeline.
The basin covenant & agreement is necessary to ensure perpetual use of said portion of the property for an onsite stormwater retention basin.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the acceptance of the easement deed and the approval of the basin covenant.
ALTERNATIVES:
None recommended.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:
The City Clerk will affix a certificate of acceptance to the signed easement deed and record the 169
\\nas1\shared\Forms & Templates
documents with the Fresno County Recorder.
The City Manager will sign the covenant, and the City Clerk will affix a certificate of acceptance and record the documents with the Fresno County Recorder.

f Recommends that City Council:
a. Waive the full reading and adopt, by title only, Ordinance No. 2026-XX an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Sanger adopting Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2025 -02, amending the Official Zone Map, rezoning real property from the “R -1-6” (Single Family Residential) district to the “R -1-7.5” (Single Family Residential) district, for the property generally bounded by North Avenue to the north, Bethel Avenue to the west, and Greenwood Avenue to the east (APN 332 -090-03, at 2431 Jensen Ave, containing approximately 9.97 Acres).
EX
ECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Tract 6531 proposes a 48- unit single family residential subdivision located generally bounded by North Avenue to the north, Bethel Avenue to the west, and Greenwood Avenue to the east. The project is proposed on one parcel, APNs 332 -090-03, consisting of approximately 10 -acres. The Project requires a number of different entitlements to be approved at the discretion of the City Council. 192
01484.0005 2085512.1
The City Council previously adopted a mitigated negative declaration for the project and approved a General Plan Amendment to plan the property to R-1-7.5, Single Family Residential. Approval of ZOA 2025-02 will ensure consistency with the General Plan as amended.
PROJECT BACKGROUND:
The Project is currently located inside City Limits. The existing zone district is City R -1-6 Single Family Residential Zone District. The Project proposes to change to the City R-1-7.5 Single Family Residential Zone District.
The Proposed General Plan Land Use of Residential – Medium Low Density has multiple zone districts that are consistent with the use. As proposed, the R -1-7.5, Single Family Residential district is the most appropriate consistent district for areas within the Project to be developed with single family units. The Planning Commission has recommended that the City Council approval of Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2025-02, which may be made by adopting Ordinance No. 2026-01. City Council heard the first reading of ZOA 2025-02 January 15, 2026.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
This Project has already been fully assessed as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City Council previously adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Project on January 15, 2026, which also assessed ZOA 2025 -02. None of the changes of condition contemplated by Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164 have occurred since that time. As such, no revisions or updates to the Mitigated Negative Declaration are required and CEQA has been completed.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Adopting City Council Resolution No. 2026- 03 for Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 202 5-02 (ZOA 2025-02) will facilitate the development of 48-single family homes and consistency with the General Plan as amended.
The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment is consistent with the goals and policies of the 2035 General Plan as amended and the City’s Housing Element.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may choose not to adopt Ordinance No. 2026-XX. If so, staff requests direction from the City Council regarding next steps.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:
The Zoning Ordinance Map will be revised to reflect City Council Resolution No. 2026-03. A resolution initiating annexation of the property is anticipated to be presented to the City Council for consideration at a future meeting.

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Sanger did conduct a public meeting in the Council Chambers of the Sanger City Hall in Sanger, California, on November 10, 2025, to consider ZOA 2025-02 as well as GPA 2025-01; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended the City Council approve Z OA 2025-02 and GPA 2025-01, by adopting Planning Commission Resolution No. 2025-08 at the aforementioned public meeting; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Ordinance Amendment intended to facilitate consistency between the existing use and the zoning district is considered a “project” by California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and

01484.0005 2085513.1
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Sanger does ordain as follows:
Sect
ion 1. Recitals. The City Council hereby finds that all of the facts set forth in the recitals above are true and correct and incorporated herein.
Sect
ion 2. CEQA. Pursuant to the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, the City, as the Lead Agency, has analyzed the proposed Project, including GPA 2025-01 and ZOA 2025-02 and has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration as described above to evaluate the environmental effects of the Project, including development of the proposed tentative map area .

Sect
ion 3. Zoning Amendment Consistency. The City Council finds that the proposed zoning map amendment is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Sanger General Plan as amended. In this regard, the City Council finds that public necessity, convenience, general welfare, or good zoning practices justify adoption of Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2025-02.
Specifically, the change of zoning districts is consistent with the General Plan goals and policies, any operative plan, or adopted policy, and specifically implements the planned land uses in the General Plan. (See also General Plan p. 2-38.) The changes are also consistent with the purpose of the Development Code to promote the growth of the City in an orderly and sustainable manner, and to promote and protect public health, safety, peace, comfort, and general welfare. The change is also necessary for good zoning practices to achieve the balance of land uses desired by the City and to provide sites for housing, consistent with the General Plan. The update is also consistent with the 2035 General Plan as updated by General Plan Amendment No. 2025-01.
Sect
ion 4. Approval. The City Council adopts this O rdinance approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment 2025-02 as set forth in Exhibit “A” to this Ordinance.
Sect
ion 5. Severability. If any provision of this Ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions, or applications of this Ordinance that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance irrespective of the invalidity of any particular portion thereof.
Sect
ion 6. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect on the thirty -first (31st) day after its adoption.
Sect
ion 7. Publication. The City Clerk is authorized to cause this ordinance or a summary of this ordinance to be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of 197
01484.0005 2085513.1
Sanger, within fifteen days after its adoption. If a summary of the ordinance is published, the City Clerk shall cause a certified copy of the full text of the proposed ordinance to be posted at City Hall at least five days prior to the meeting at which the ordinance is adopted and again after the meeting at which it is adopted.

EXE
CUTIVE SUMMARY:
Tr
ansmitted herewith is the City’s investment report for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.
ENVI
RONMENTAL REVIEW:
209
The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The total cash and investment portfolio book value (cost) held by the City as of December 31, 2025 was $51,846,739.
The cash and investments held by the City include the following components: Managed Investment Portfolio ($30,735,812), State of CA Local Agency Investment Fund ($14,507,587), California Asset Management Program (CAMP) Pooled Investment Fund ($34,303), Cash/Time Deposits ($6,425,359), and accrued interest on investments ($143,678). Earned interest is the interest earned on investments over a specific time period, accrued interest is the interest that an investment has earned, but hasn’t yet been received, and paid interest is the interest that has already been received as payment.
Cash and investments held by the City and the trustees continue to be invested in accordance with the Government Code and the Council Investment Policy.
During the quarter, one Federal Agency bond in the amount of $1,507,995 was purchased and one Medium-term note/Corporate note in the amount of $1,507,230 was purchased. Two U.S. Treasury Notes in the amount of $3,000,000 matured.
Two-year Treasuries were yielding 3.60% at the beginning of the quarter and at 3.47% at the end of the quarter, which was a decrease of 13 basis points for the quarter.
As of December 31, 2025, the Weighted Yield to Maturity on the Managed Investment Portfolio was
3.62%.
At the end of this quarter, the Weighted Average Maturity of the Managed Investment Portfolio was
2.64 years.
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meets approximately every six weeks and determines the level of the Federal Funds Rate. At the December 10th meeting, the Committee decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/4 percentage point to 3-1/2 to 3-3/4 percent.
Summary from the December 10th meeting:
"Recent indicators suggest that growth of economic activity moderated in the first half of the year. Job gains have slowed, and the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. Inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.
The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated. The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.
In support of its goals and in light of the shift in the balance of risks, the Committee decided to lower 210
the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/4 percentage point to 4 to 4-1/4 percent. In considering additional adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will carefully assess incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks. The Committee will continue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities. The Committee is strongly committed to supporting maximum employment and returning inflation to its 2 percent objective.
In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee's goals. The Committee's assessments will take into account a wide range of information, including readings on labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and international developments.”
Finance staff hired Optimized Investment Partners in July 2024 to help improve the investment returns for the city and to ensure compliance with California Government Code by ensuring safety of principal and sufficient liquidity for operations. Ongoing por tfolio management activity will continue to be performed in partnership with Optimized Investment Partners, the Finance Director, the Finance Manager and the City Manager.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Per the adopted investment policy, the Finance Director is required to report the type of investment, financial institution, date of maturity, amount of investment, current market value, rate of interest for all securities with a maturity of more than 12 months and a statement that all city investments are in compliance with the city investment policy and all applicable provisions of the California Government Code.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Current-year Fiscal Impact
Considering the projected timing of cash receipts and disbursements and the structure of the Pooled Investment Portfolio, the City should be able to comfortably meet overall cash flow needs over the next six months. There is no direct fiscal impact by this action.
Ongoing Fiscal Impact
There is no ongoing fiscal impact by this action.

This notice, provided at least thirty days in advance, is to make you aware that the terms and conditions of Liquidity Plus are being amended to increase the limit on end-of-day cash that is swept to Deposit Banks to be eligible for FDIC insurance coverage. The "Deposit Limit" will increase from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000. The following sentences in your terms and conditions are being amended to reflect the change from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000. No other changes are being made to the terms and conditions at this time.
"The maximum amount of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance coverage available for funds swept under Liquidity Plus is currently $10,000,000, subject to certain exceptions and the ability to place such cash balances, as more fully explained below." and
"Customer's Deposits are deposited into interest-bearing omnibus deposit accounts at the Program Banks in a manner currently designed to provide Customer with up to $10,000,000 of total FDIC deposit insurance coverage, subject to certain exceptions described herein. FDIC deposit insurance coverage is normally available for Customer's Deposits up to the FDIC standard maximum deposit insurance amount, which is currently $250,000 per legal category of account ownership at each participating Program Bank when aggregated with all other deposits held by Customer in the same Program Bank and in the same legal category of account ownership."
These changes take effect on February 23, 2026. You can review the current list of Deposit Banks and opt out of any individual bank you already have deposit balances in the same ownership category by visiting https://www.usbank.com/dam/en/documents/pdfs/investment-services/gfs-liquidity-plus.pdf.

RECO
MMENDATION:
Th
e Citizen’s Oversight Committee (COC) recommends the City Council select Set Free Church ($xxxxx), Young Life ($xxxxx), Boys and Girls Club ($xxxxx) as the approved grant recipients for Public Safety Sales Tax Gang Intervention/Prevention award and staff recommends that Council authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with each recipient.
DIS
CUSSION:
City received five grant applications; five applications were received as complete. The complete applications were from Set Free Sanger, New Beginnings, SAM Academy, the Boys & Girls Club, and Young Life. The Application Review Committee (ARC) was comprised of Police Chief John Reynolds, Fire Chief Greg Tarascou, COC Member Lyn Anderson, and COC Vice -Chair Elizabeth Gonzalez. Each ARC member scored all four applications. The scores were tabulated and discussed during an ARC meeting on February 3, 2026.
Th
e ARC decided to recommend to the Citizen’s Oversight Committee the selection of Set Free Sanger, the Boys & Girls Club, and Young Life as the grant award recipients. 239
Because the combined request from all recipients exceeds the $100,000 budget amount for the grant program in 2025-2026, the ARC recommended $ for Set Free Sanger, $ for Young Life, and $ for the Boys & Girls Club.
REASO
N FOR RECOMMENDATION:
The C
itizen Oversight Committee makes a recommendation regarding the selection of grant recipients and grant allocation amounts to City Council. City Council considers the recommendation as it finalizes the City’s budget.

NS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

and adopt the COC recommendations for the FY 2 5-26 Public Safety Sales Tax Gang Prevention/Intervention funding, or modify COC recommendation, to reject the recommendation in its entirety and create a new award distribution.
