CITY OF SANGER

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
To: Mayor and City Council Members
From: Nathan Olson, City Manager
Subject: Receipt of Update on Emergency Repairs at Wastewater Treatment Plant Pursuant to Resolution No. 2026-28 and Request to Continue Declaration of Emergency
Attachments:

1. Resolution No. 2026-28

2. Resolution No. 2026-31
CONFLICT OF INTEREST:

N
one known.

RE
COMMENDATION:

S
taff recommend that the City Council adopt Resolution 2026-31, Continuing the Declaration of Emergency in connection with Emergency Repairs at the Domestic/Industrial Treatment Facilities under Resolution 2026-28.

E
XECUTIVE SUMMARY:

T
he purpose of this staff report is to provide an updated status on the emergency repairs initiated under the Determination of Emergency to address the Sanger Domestic/Industrial Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF). On July 18, 2024, City Manager Nathan Olson (as the Director of Emergency Services) declared an emergency at the Sanger Domestic and Industrial Wastewater Treatment Facilities. This report summarizes the progress made, challenges encountered, and financial implications of the ongoing repair efforts. Based on the status and projected needs, it is recommended to continue with emergency actions under Resolution No. 2026-28 to ensure timely and effective completion of the repairs. Reports on actions taken and status of the emergency will continue to be made at each regular meeting of the City Council.

B
ACKGROUND:

A
ll prior updates regarding the Wastewater Treatment Facility Emergency Repairs are incorporated by reference. The emergency proclamation remains in effect pursuant to City Council Resolution 2026-28, which continued the emergency and authorized the City to proceed with necessary repairs without formal competitive bidding.
• April 2026: SCADA and Thickener are on track to be completed this month. Since the last update, an emergency at the North and Greenwood lift station has required immediate attention and resources. As a result, the remaining work under the current emergency declaration has been temporarily delayed. The projected completion date, originally anticipated in May, is now expected to shift approximately one month. Staff will continue to monitor progress and provide updates as work resumes and schedules are adjusted.

N
ote: Due to the age and condition of existing infrastructure at the Wastewater Treatment Facility, additional deficiencies may be identified as work progresses. As such, all dates and milestones are subject to revision in response to emerging operational needs, safety considerations, or unforeseen complications.

RE
ASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:

T
hese 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.

F
ISCAL IMPACT:

T
he exact fiscal impact is not fully known at this time because the work is being performed on a time-and- materials basis due to its urgent nature . It is currently estimated that total expenditures will reach approximately $4,900,000 by the end of the emergency.

A
ny additional costs for more repairs and materials will be brought back to City Council and addressed appropriately. The costs are funded from Sewer Enterprise fund balance.

AL
TERNATIVES:

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.

CITY OF SANGER

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

To: Mayor and Councilm embers

From: Amanda Champion, Human Resources Manager
Nathan Olson, City Manager

Subject: Request to Approve Resolution 2026-32 -Approving an amendment to the position allocation plan to add additional positions and approve revisions to the Human Resources Technician job description, adopt the job descriptions for new positions, and update the master salary schedule with the salary bands for the new positions.

Attachments: Resolution No. 2026-32
Revised Master Salary Schedule
Revised Position Allocation Table
Job Description: Parks and Facilities Supervisor
Job Description: Public Works Manager
Job Description: Environmental Compliance Officer
Job Description: HR Technician

CONFLICT OF INTEREST:

None known.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-32 approving additional positions for the City of Sanger, approve revised and new job descriptions, salary bands for reclassed and new positions , and approve the revised position allocation table.

\\nas1\shared\Forms & Templates

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Upon review of the current position allocation and budgets, it has been determined that additional positions would provide improved capability to meet legal requirements and enhance current operations, while reclassification of other positions to properly align current scope and responsibilities with appropriate compensation would greatly benefit the City of Sanger without minimal to no impact to current year budgets. Staff are requesting positions listed below be added to the position allocation for FY 2026.

• Addition of a Full Time Account Clerk Position in Finance • Reclass of an Administrative Assistant to an Executive Assistant in the Police Department • Addition of a Human Resources Technician in the HR Department • Addition of a Parks and Facilities Supervisor in the Parks and Recreation Department • Reclass of a Streets, Parks, & Facility Supervisor to a Public Works Manager • Reclass of an Environmental Compliance Inspector to an Environmental Compliance Manager assigned to Public Works

BACKGROUND:

Typically, around mid -year staffing levels and budgets are evaluated , in anticipation of a mid -year budget adjustment. Through that process this year, several positions were deemed necessary for revision or addition. Justification for each position is provided below.

The Sanger General Employees Organization, Local 39, and Sanger Middle Management Organization were all contact regarding the proposed changes to the positions in their respective bargaining units, and no concerns were brought forward.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:

Account Clerk (Finance)

The Finance Department is asking to convert the part -time Account Clerk position to full -time. The transition from part -time to full- time status is warranted due to the increased operational demands associated with the Tyler ERP system conversion, as well as the organization’s ongoing commitment to interdepartmental training and succession planning.

The Tyler ERP implementation requires consistent involvement to support system configuration, data validation, testing, and post -deployment stabilization. Expanding this role to full -time ensures continuity, reduces the risk of errors, and supports timely issue resolution during this critical transition period.

Additionally, a full -time schedule enables more effective participation in interdepartmental cross - training initiatives, which are essential for building organizational resilience and improving collaboration across functions. This increased availability also supports structured knowledge transfer and succession planning efforts, ensuring that critical processes and institutional knowledge are preserved and scalable for future growth.

Overall, converting this position to full -time aligns staffing capacity with current strategic priorities, enhances operational efficiency, and strengthens long-term organizational sustainability.

\\nas1\shared\Forms & Templates

The approved salary band for an Account Clerk I is $3,130 to $3,805 per month, and the approved salary band for an Account Clerk II $3,710 to $4,508 per month.

Executive Assistant (Police)

The Police Department currently has one (1) Administrative Assistant position allocated. After evaluating the scope, complexity, and level of responsibility associated with this role, Police Chief Reynolds recommends reclassifying the position to an Executive Assistant.

This position provides direct support to the Chief’s Office in matters central to employer -employee relations and the administration of highly sensitive personnel information. Responsibilities include drafting and formatting confidential correspondence at the Chief’s direction; screening, prioritizing, and safeguarding sensitive communications between the Chief’s Office and other department and agency leaders; and ensuring discretion and confidentiality in all interactions.

The role also encompasses policy and records governance, including implementing and maintaining records retention controls for personnel and Internal Affairs files. In addition, the position serves as a project leadership function by independently coordinating cross -departmental initiatives with minimal supervision.

To ensure continuity of operations, the position acts as the primary point of contact for confidential matters in the absence of command staff and provides guidance to staff on secure information handling standards and chain -of-custody requirements. Given these expanded and critical responsibilities, reclassification to an Executive Assistant is appropriate and warranted.

The approved salary band for an Execute Assistant is $5,535 to $6,728.

Human Resources Technician (HR)

The Human Resources Department is requesting approval to add one (1) full -time Human Resources Technician position to the current year position allocation. Currently, the department is staffed by one (1) HR Manager and two (2) HR Analysts. The HR Department is responsible for a wide range of critical functions, including payroll processing; recruitment and onboarding; risk management activities (such as gen eral liability, workers’ compensation, and vehicle and property insurance programs); investigations, negotiations; employee training; administration of personnel and benefits budgets and programs; employee engagement and recognition; and responding to employee inquiries and concerns.

In addition to these ongoing responsibilities, the department has begun implementing a new Human Resources and Payroll system through Tyler Technologies. This initiative involves a comprehensive overhaul and rebuilding of existing modules. Implementation of the primary modules is expected to take approximately one year, with additional supporting modules to follow.

Based on a review of current workload and staff capacity, the department has determined that an additional position is necessary to maintain essential operations during the system implementation and to support expanded functions thereafter. The proposed HR Technician would be responsible for time entry, personnel records management and retention , filing, responding to employee inquiries and requests, and supporting initial recruitment processes.

Adding this position will enable HR Analysts to focus on enhancing recruitment and onboarding efforts, improving payroll processes, and developing key initiatives such as a more robust training program, an active safety committee, strengthened risk management programs, and improved employee engagement

strategies. In turn, the HR Manager will be better positioned to concentrate on negotiations, classification and compensation implementation, policy development and updates, and stay current with evolving legislation and compliance requirements.

The approved salary band for this position is $3,899 to 4,739 a month.

Parks and Facilities Supervisor

City staff are requesting the creation of a new position within the Parks and Recreation Department, a Parks and Facilities Supervisor. Key responsibilities of the position include overseeing the maintenance of park grounds, green spaces, irrigation systems, and aquatic facilities, as well as ensuring the repair, safety, and operational integrity of municipal buildings. The Parks and Facilities Supervisor would formalize the leadership structure necessary to effectively manage two distinct divisions within the Parks and Recreation Department.

By transitioning these divisions from Public Works to Parks and Recreation, the City establishes a more appropriate and manageable span of control. This realignment enables the Supervisor to concentrate on maintaining the curb appeal, structural integrity, and overall functionality of City assets, while also improving responsiveness to community needs and service requests. In turn, it ensures that the Public Works Manager can remain focused on critical infrastructure systems —including streets and lighting, sewer collections, and stormwater —while the Parks and Facilities Supervisor provides dedicated oversight of the City’s public-facing assets and municipal facilities.

The recommended salary band for the Parks and Facilities Supervisor is consistent with the Public Works Supervisor-Streets, Parks & Facilities, which is $6,102 to $7,417 a month.

Public Works Manager

The Public Works Department is requesting the reclassification of the Streets, Parks and Facilities Supervisor to a newly created Public Works Manager classification. Upon review of the current duties and responsibilities, it was determined that the score of control and duties were more closely aligned with a Manager position. Key responsibilities of the Public Works Manager include: oversight of street operations, street lighting, and Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Districts (LLMD). In addition, the formal inclusion of wastewater collection and stormwater systems ensures that these essential networks are maintained with the same level of rigor as treatment facilities. The Public Works Manager will also collaborate closely with the Environmental Compliance Manager to ensure that collection system maintenance remains in full compliance with State and Federal regulatory requirements.

The update to the Public Works Manager position represents a critical strategic shift to streamline City operations and ensures that Sanger’s core infrastructure receives specialized, high-level oversight. This revision formally acknowledges the increasing technical complexity of the role and establishes a more effective and focused organizational structure.

Historically, the effectiveness of this position was diluted by a broad scope of responsibilities that included Parks and Facilities maintenance. To improve operational efficiency and maintain a manageable span of control, these functions are being reassig ned to a dedicated supervisor. This realignment allows the Public Works Manager to concentrate on high-priority infrastructure systems.

The recommended salary band for the Public Works Manager is consistent with the Plant Manager - Wastewater, and the Water Operations Manager, which is $6,812 to $8,280 a month.

Environmental Compliance Manager

The Public Works Department is requesting the reclassification of the Environmental Compliance Inspector position to an Environmental Compliance Manager. This reclassification represents a strategic step to improve administrative efficiency, ensure complia nce with federal and state regulations, and provide the specialized technical oversight necessary to safeguard the City of Sanger’s significant investment in wastewater treatment infrastructure.

The Environmental Compliance Manager will play a critical role in implementing and enforcing the City’s federally mandated Municipal Wastewater Facility Monitoring and Industrial Pretreatment Program (40 CFR 403). As the City continues to modernize and enhance its wastewater treatment facilities, these investments require dedicated oversight to effectively regulate industrial discharge and mitigate potential risks to system integrity.

Through the management of complex laboratory analysis and comprehensive field inspections, this position will ensure that only compliant wastewater enters the City’s treatment systems, thereby extending the operational life and reliability of these critical assets.

Currently, the Environmental Compliance Inspector is performing many of the duties consistent with a managerial role. With the proposed reclassification, the position will assume expanded responsibilities, including regulatory reporting and serving as the primary liaison with any contractor selected in the event of wastewater treatment plant outsourcing. Additionally, it is anticipated that the Inspector position will be backfilled in the FY 2027 budget to increase capacity for testing, monitoring, and recordkeeping requirements.

The recommended salary band for the Environmental Compliance Manager is consistent with the Plant Manager -Wastewater, and the Water Operations Manager and the recommended Public Works Manager’s salary, which is $6,812 to $8,280 a month.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The approximate annual increase for each position and the funding sources are listed below. The current year’s cost would be prorated based on start date after recruitment/reclassification process.

BACKGROUND:

\\nas1\shared\Forms & Templates

Well 19 will be the newest addition to the City’s well inventory following Well 22 which was brought online last summer. This new well site, located within the limits of Tract 6327, Phase II of Tract 5826, the subdivision that was recently developed by DR Horton on the southwest corner of North and Greenwood Avenues , has already been drilled and developed. It is estimated to produce approximately 1200 gallons per minute (gpm), which would be approximately 15% of the total well production currently available to the City. The project improvements will include the installation of the pump/motor and all necessary water pipelines, electrical equipment and infrastructure, chlorination facilities and building, emergency backup power generator, site lighting, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) infrastructure, masonry perimeter wall, site surface improvements, and a new drive approach adjacent to the intersection of Diamond Avenue & Richard Avenue. Space at the site has been reserved for future granular activated carbon (GAC) treatment vessels, but none are needed at this time, based on water quality testing of the well.

During the project bidding phase, the Notice Inviting Bids was advertised in the Mid Valley Times and circulated in the local builders’ exchanges. Additionally, other reputable contractors experienced with this type of construction were made aware of the project and invited to bid on the project as well.

The bids were analyzed and Staff determined the following:

1. That the low bid submitted by SW Construction, Inc. contained clerical errors in the bid amounting to $1,399,289.95. SW Construction, Inc. later requested a withdrawal of their bid due to the clerical errors;

2. That the second low bid, submitted by Alpha 1 Engineering, P.C. dba Alpha1, submitted an incomplete bid proposal with Bid Item #6 left blank and left the unit price in words blank on several bid items . Thus, Staff has declared their bid incomplete and disqualified them as non- responsive;

3. That the third low bid, submitted by Steve Dovali Construction, Inc. included a complete and responsive proposal.

Given the above, Staff has determined that Steve Dovali Construction, Inc. submitted the lowest responsive and responsible bid and recommends that Council adopt the resolution in Attachment 2, making findings they be awarded the contract.

CITY OF SANGER

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

To: Mayor and City Council members
From: John Reynolds, Chief of Police
Subject: Patrol SUV Procurement Justification - Purchase of Three (3) Ford Police Interceptor Utility AWD Hybrid Vehicles

Attachments: 1. Vehicle Quotes (3)

2. Resolution 2026-35

CONFLICT OF INTEREST:

None Known

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the purchase of three (3) Ford Police Interceptor Utility AWD Hybrid patrol vehicles from Folsom Lake Ford in the total amount of $173,476.44.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Police Department solicited and reviewed multiple quotes for patrol -rated SUVs and recommends the purchase of three (3) 2025 Ford Police Interceptor Utility (PIU) AWD Hybrid vehicles. Although Dodge Durango Pursuit vehicles were quoted at a lower initial purchase price, the Ford PIU includes factory-installed police -ready equipment and safety features that reduce upfitting time/cost and improve deployment readiness and long-term maintenance outcomes. The funds for the purchase were approved with the Police Department 2025/2026 adopted budget.

BACKGROUND:

Two Dodge Durango Pursuit quotes were received, each at $51,524.78 per vehicle, and one Ford Police Interceptor Utility quote was received at $57,825.48 per vehicle. The total for three (3) Ford PIU vehicles is $173,476.44.

The Dodge Durango Pursuit vehicles do not include Level III+ ballistic door panels, are not pre -wired for police equipment installation, and require full aftermarket upfitting (emergency lighting systems, radio installation, computer mounting and integration, and wiring/electrical systems). The Ford Police Interceptor Utility (selected) includes Level III+ ballistic front door panels, factory -installed police wire harness and pre -wiring, and integrated emergency lighting packages, and is configured as a near deployment-ready patrol unit.

Upfitting costs for patrol vehicles are typically approximately $25,000 per vehicle (emergency lighting systems, radio and communications equipment, mobile data computer installation, wiring/relays/integration, and labor). Vehicles lacking pre -wiring and factory integration require increased labor hours, additional installation costs, and have greater potential for electrical issues and maintenance.

Operationally, although the Dodge Durango quotes reflect a lower upfront purchase price (approximately $6,300 less per vehicle), that difference does not include full upfitting costs, increased labor and vendor dependency, delayed deployment timelines, or higher long -term maintenance risks.

When accounting for full upfitting, the total cost of a Dodge Durango patrol vehicle is estimated to meet or exceed the cost of the Ford PIU.

Additional operational advantages of the Ford PIU include fleet standardization (improving maintenance and training efficiency) and reduced long -term maintenance risk due to factory -installed electrical systems. The hybrid powertrain supports reduced fuel consumption, decreased engine wear due to idle management, and improved electrical capacity for police equipment.

Upfitting and deployment of two vehicles will occur immediately. Upfitting and deployment of the third will occur in July 2026.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The Police Department compared quotes for patrol SUVs from multiple vendors:

Dodge Durango Pursuit (Quote #1 - Premier Dodge, Buena Park) • Vehicle: 2025 Dodge Durango (Pursuit Package)
• Price per vehicle: $51,524.78

Dodge Durango Pursuit (Quote #2 - San Leandro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram) • Vehicle: Dodge Durango (Pursuit Package)
• Price per vehicle: $51,524.78
Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Folsom Lake Ford)
• Vehicle: 2025 Ford Police Interceptor Utility AWD Hybrid • Price per vehicle: $57,825.48
• Total for three (3) vehicles: $173,476.44
The Dodge Durango Pursuit configuration does not include Level III+ ballistic door panels and is not pre- wired for police equipment installation, requiring full aftermarket upfitting (emergency lighting systems, radio installation, computer mounting and integration, wiring harnesses and electrical systems). The

selected Ford PIU includes Level III+ ballistic front door panels, factory-installed police wire harness and pre-wiring, integrated emergency lighting packages, and is configured as a near deployment-ready patrol unit.

Typical upfitting costs for patrol vehicles are approximately $25,000 per vehicle. Vehicles lacking pre- wiring and factory integration require increased labor hours, additional installation costs, and carry greater potential for electrical issues and maintenance.

Upfitting and deployment of two vehicles will occur immediately. Upfitting and deployment of the third will occur in July 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approve the purchase of three (3) Ford Police Interceptor Utility AWD Hybrid patrol vehicles from Folsom Lake Ford in total amount of $173,476.44.

Purchase to occur from budget 7239 (Balance $173.426.84 / Measure S) and 7225 (Balance $36.015.01).

The funds were approved as a part of the 2025/2026 budget.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Purchase Dodge Durango Pursuit vehicles based on the quoted purchase price; however, the vehicles would require full aftermarket upfitting and lack factory -installed ballistic door panels and police pre-wiring, resulting in increased cost, time, and maintenance risk.

2. Take no action at this time.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

Upon approval, staff will proceed with procurement of three (3) vehicles from Folsom Lake Ford in total amount of $173,476.44. Upfitting and deployment of two vehicles will occur immediately, and the third will occur in July 2026.

CITY OF SANGER

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

To: Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Virginia Harmon, Finance Director
Subject: Acceptance of the Measure C Audit Report for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2023 Attachments: 1) FCTAMC Sanger Audit Committee Letter FY2023 2) FCTAMC Sanger Financial Statements FY2023

CONFLICT OF INTEREST:

None known.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council receive and file the Measure C Audit Report for the F iscal Year ending June 30, 2023, as prepared by Price Paige & Company, Certified Public Accountants.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Fresno County Transportation Authority (FCTA) was created by the approval of Measure C by the voters of Fresno County (the County) in November 1986. Measure C authorized the imposition of a ½% sales and use tax (sales tax) in the County for 20 years. The proceeds of Measure C are principally reserved for highway improvements, local transportation improvements, growth management and regional planning purposes (programs) in the County. The ½% sales tax commenced July 1, 1987 and expired on June 30, 2007.

In November 2006, the County voters approved a ballot measure authorizing FCTA to continue the ½% retail transaction and use tax for an additional 20 years. Under the terms of the extension of the Measure C program, proceeds of Measure C are principally reserved for regional public transit, local transportation, regional transportation, alternative transportation and environmental enhancement programs in the County. The ½% sales tax commenced July 1, 2007 and will expire on June 30, 2027.

The sales tax revenue received by FCTA under Measure C, after deducting certain administrative costs, is to be spent for programs as set forth in the expenditure plan included in Measure C and approved by the voters of the County. All revenues, including interest and other revenues, not designated by Measure C for a specific purpose are to be spent on capital projects for other governmental agencies set forth in the expenditure plan. The expenditure plan will be updated every two years to adjust the projection of sales tax receipts.

The City receives local allocations for the subprograms: Street Maintenance, ADA Compliance, Flexible Funding, Pedestrian /Trails (Urban) and Bicycle Facilities under the Local Transportation Program.

As a result of this audit, Price Paige & Company concluded that the city had no audit findings.

Summary of the financial statements for subprograms of Measure C Funds:

Attachment 1

April 9, 2026

To the City Council
City of Sanger, California
And the Board of Directors
Fresno County Transportation Authority
Fresno, California

We have audited the financial statements of Fresno County Transportation Authority’s pass-through Measure C Funds (Measure C Funds) of the City of Sanger , California (the City) for the year ended June 30, 2023. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our re sponsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our engagement letter.

Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.

Significant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices,
Management of the City (Management) is responsible for the select ion and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by th e CIty are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted and the applicatio n of existing policies was not changed du ring 2023. We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensu s. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.

Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financ ial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from thos e expected. We are not aware of any significant estimates for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.

Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.

Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identi fied during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. There were no corrected or uncorrected misstatements noted during our audit for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfacti on, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report.

We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.

Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter.

Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certai n situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the City’s financial statements or a de termination of the type of auditor’s op inion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards re quire the consulting accountant to ch eck with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.

Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the City’s auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.

In our audit engagement letter previously provided to you, we communicated the following significant risks of material misstatement (significant risks) as part of our audit planning:
 Management override of controls
 Improper revenue recognition due to fraud.

These risks were addressed within our audit procedures and we have no findings to report related to these risks.

Restriction on Use
This information is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council, management of the City and the Board of Directors of Fresno County Transportation Authority and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Very truly yours,

1 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the City Council
City of Sanger, California
And the Board of Directors
Fresno County Transportation Authority
Fresno, California

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Fresno County Transportation Authority’s pass-through Measure C Funds (Measure C Funds) of the City of Sanger, California (the City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023,
and the related notes to the financial statements, which collect ively comprise the Measure C Funds of the City’s financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

In our opinion, the financ ial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the Measure C Funds of the City as of June 30, 2023, and the respective change s in financial position thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards , issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our resp onsibilities under those standards are further de scribed in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements of the Measure C Funds of the City are intended to present the financial position and the changes in financial position of only that portion of the Measure C Funds of the City that is attributable to the transactions related to the Fresno County Transporta tion Authority’s pass-through Measure C Funds. They do not purport to, and do not present fairly the financial position of th e City as of June 30, 2023, or the changes in its financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

2 Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presen tation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United St ates of America, and for th e design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, a nd to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefor e is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement wh en it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of in ternal control. Misstatements are consid ered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:
 Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control as it relates to Measure C funds. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.  Evaluate the appropriateness of a ccounting policies used and the reason ableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.  Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Required Supplementary Information

Management has omitted a management ’s discussion and analysis and budg etary comparison information that accounting principles generally accepted in the United Stat es of America require to be presented to supplement the financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our opinion on the financial statements is not affected by this missing information.

3 Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements th at collectively comprise the Measure C Funds of the City’s financial statements. The accompanying Balance Sheet by Funding Source and the Statement of Revenues Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances by Funding Source (the Schedules), are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relate s directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the Schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards , we have also issued our report dated April 9, 2026, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting as it relates to Measure C Funds and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, cont racts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to pr ovide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s inte rnal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and comp liance as it relates to the Measure C Funds.

Notes to the Financial Statements

8 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements of the Fresno County Transportation Authority’s pass-through Measure C Funds (Measure C Funds) of the City of Sanger, California (the City) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The financial statements presented are only from the accounts and financial transactions of the Measure C Funds of the City. Accordingly, they do not present the financial position or the results of the operations of the City. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The City's significant accounting policies are described below.

A. Reporting Entity

The Fresno County Transportation Authority (FCTA) was create d by the approval of Measure C by the voters of Fresno County (the County) in November 1986. Measure C authorized th e imposition of a ½% sales and use tax (sales tax) in the County for 20 years. The proceeds of Measure C are principally reserved for highway improvements, local transportation improvements, growth management and regional planning purposes (programs) in the County. The ½% sales tax commenced July 1, 1987, and expired on June 30, 2007.

In November 2006, the County voters approved a ballot measure authorizing FCTA to continue the ½% retail transaction and use tax for an additional 20 years. Under the terms of the extension of the Measure C program, proceeds of Measure C are principally reserved for regional public transit, local transportation, regional transportation, alternative transportation, and environmental enhancement programs in the County. The ½% sales tax commenced July 1, 2007, and will expire on June 30, 2027.

The sales tax revenue received by FCTA under Measure C, after deducting certain administrative costs, is to be spent for programs as set forth in the expenditure plan included in Measure C and approved by the voters of the County. All revenues, including interest and other revenues, not designated by Measure C for a specific purpose are to be spent on capital projects for other governmental agencies set forth in the expenditure plan. The expenditure plan will be updated every two years to adjust the projection of sales tax receipts.

The primary elements of the 2006 Measure C Extension Sub-Programs consist of the following:

Regional Public Transit Program

This program will fund projects dealing with bus route maintena nce, expansion of buses, bus services, bus shelters, and public transit safety measures.

Public Transit Agencies (Fresno Area Express (FAX), Clovis Transit and Fresno County Rural Transit Agency (FCRTA))

The goal of all transit agencies within the County who derive funding allocations from this program is to improve the level of public transit services within the County and to continue to seek ways to coordinate an d/or consolidate services in order to achieve a seamless passenger travel system for th e public. Priority service im provements planned for each agency include improving frequency of service, extending week end service hours, enhancing Pa ra-transit services to the senior or disabled community, and installing and integratin g a regional automated farebo x system to enhance transit coordination.

Farmworker Car/Van Pools

Farmworker Van Pool – Measure C funds will be used to su bsidize Farmworker Van Pool programs within the County, providing an equal opportunity for both public and private in dustry competition, as well as potential public/private partnerships. Vanpools must originate in the County and allow for safe effective transportation to and from work.

Notes to the Financial Statements

9 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

A. Reporting Entity (Continued)

Regional Public Transit Program (Continued)

Farmworker Car/Van Pools (Continued)

The Measure C Car Pool program is an incentive program to the County residents to carpool with at least one other person, two days per week. The program offers incentives in the form of cash prizes and services from participating vendors.

The Measure C Van Pool program offers a variety of subsidie s and reimbursements to help ensure that commuters reach their destinations safely by using a cost-effective alternative to a single occupant vehicle.

Local Transportation Program

This program will go towards the local tr ansportation program projects such as filling potholes, re-paving streets, improving sidewalks, catering to pedestrians, and maintaining trails and bicycle systems.

Local Allocation

Street Maintenance – A mandated 50% of the local transportation program must be earmarked for street maintenance/rehabilitation such as pothole repair, patching or overlay projects. An agency may reserve these funds for no more than five years to fund a large street maintenance project.

ADA Compliance – These funds are set aside for the local agencies to meet the current requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Jur isdictions that receive less than $200 ,000 annually from the total local transportation program would be exempt from this provision.

Flexible Funding – The flexible funding sub-program allows the loca l agency to utilize these funds on transportation related projects.

Pedestrian/Trails – Urban (Clovis and Fresno Sphere of Influence) and Rural

Approximately 3% of Measure C is provided to fund signifi cant improvements to the existing planned pedestrian and trail system. The funds can also be used for needs such as signage, striping an d master plan updates. Jurisdictions with a population threshold less than 25 ,000 would be exempt from this provision and receive these funds in the Flexible Funding program.

Bicycle Facilities

Approximately 1% of Measure C is provided to fund significant improvements to the existing and planned bicycle facilities and/or systems. Bicycle Trail funds may be used for Class II bicycle facilities, signage, and striping and for the development of the master plan. Jur isdictions with a population threshold le ss than 25,000 would be exempt from this provision and receive these funds in the Flexible Funding program.

Regional Transportation Program

This program will fund projects centered on improving and ma king changes to the freeway land and commuter corridors.

This fund will also cover road safety measures.

A. Reporting Entity (Continued)

Alternative Transportation Program

This program will be used towards safety measures for emergenc y vehicles and school routes, reducing traffi c congestion and facilitating new underpasses or overpasses.

Environmental Enhancement Program

This program will accommodate the school bus replacement programs and deal with other transit-related development.

Administration/Planning Program

This program will help to prepare updates for the expenditures plan and develop and administer other planning related activities.

B. Basis of Presentation

The City uses fund accounting to report on its financial position and the results of its operations. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid financial management by segregating transactions related to certain government functions or activities.

The operations of the Measure C Funds of the City are accounted for in a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise the funds' assets, liabilities, fund balance, revenues, and expenditures.

The Measure C Funds of the City are accounted for in the special revenue fund type within the governmental category using the modified accrual basis of acco unting whereby revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available, and expenditures are recognized when the liabilities are incurred. The City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period.

Intergovernmental revenues (primarily grants and subventi ons), which are received as reimbursement for specific purposes or projects, are recognized based upon the expenditures recorded. Intergovernmental revenues, which are usually unrestricted as to use are revocable only for failure to meet prescribed compliance requirements and are reflected as revenues at the time of receipt or earlier, if they meet the availability criterion.

C. Fund Balance Classification

The governmental fund financial statements present fund balances based on classifications that comprise a hierarchy that is based primarily on the extent to which the City is boun d to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in the respective governmental funds can be spent. The classifications used in the governmental fund financial statements are as follows:

Nonspendable – Amounts cannot be spent either because they are in nonspendable form (such as inventory or prepaid expense, and long-term loans and notes receivable) or because they are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact (such as principal of a permanent fund).

Restricted – Amounts with external constraints placed on the use of these resources (such as debt covenants, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other go vernments, etc.) or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

MEASURE C FUNDS LOCAL TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM
CITY OF SANGER | JUNE 30, 2023
Notes to the Financial Statements

11 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

C. Fund Balance Classification (Continued)

Committed – Amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by the City Council, the City’s highest level of decision-making authority, through an ordinance or resolution. These committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City Council removes or changes the specified uses through the same type of formal action taken to establish the commitment.

Assigned – Amounts that do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed but that are intended to be used for specific purposes. Intent is expressed by th e City Council or its designee and may be changed at the discretion of the City Council or its designee. For all governmental funds other than the General Fund, any remaining positive amounts not classified as nonspendable, restrict ed or committed must be designated as assigned fund balance.

Unassigned – This classification includes amounts that have no t been assigned to other funds or restricted, committed or assigned to a specific purpose within the City.

The City would typically use restricted fund balances first, followed by committed resources, and then assigned resources, as appropriate opportunities arise, but reserves the right to selectively spend unassigned resources first to deter the use of these other classified funds.

NOTE 2 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS

Cash is pooled with the City’s cash and investments. Income from the investment of pooled cash is allocated based upon the actual balance of the fund as a percentage of the total pooled cash balance. The City values all of its cash and investments at fair value on a portfolio basis. The City manages its pooled idle cash and investments under a formal investment policy that is adopted and reviewed by the City, and that follows the guidelines of the State of California Government Code.

City-wide information concerning cash and investments for the year ended June 30, 2023, including authorized investments, custodial credit r isk and interest rate risk for debt securiti es and concentration of investments, carrying amount and market value of deposits and investments, may be found in the notes of the City’s annual financial report.

NOTE 3 – RESTATEMENT OF FUND BALANCE

Beginning fund balance has been restated to correct the prior year classification of a fund that was previously reported with other City funds. During the current year, the fund was determined to be properly classified as a Measure C fund and was consolidated into the Street Maintenance funding source.

As a result, the beginning Measure C fund balance of the Street Maintenance Funding source decreased by $33,460.

NOTE 4 – SUBSEQUENT FOOTNOTE

The current Measure C extension ½% sales and use tax (sales tax) will expire on June 30, 2027. The Fresno County Transportation Authority (FCTA) contracted with the Fresno Council of Government s (FCOG) to initiate a renewal effort w i t h a g o a l o f p l a c i n g t h e M e a s u r e C e x t e n s i o n o n t h e N o v e m b e r 2 0 2 6 b a l l o t . T h i s e f f o r t c e a s e d o n J a n u a r y 7 , 2 0 2 6 , where the FCOG Policy Board abandoned the process of a government led effort which now allows a citizens led initiative to take on this effort which will only require a 50% plus 1 voter approval to pass, whereas the government led initiative would have required a 67% voter approval. As of this date there is one citizen led group to take this initiative forward to the Ballot for November 2026. The FCTA is out of the renewal-extension process for now.

15 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE MEASURE C ENABLING LEGISLATION

To the City Council
City of Sanger, California
And the Board of Directors
Fresno County Transportation Authority
Fresno, California

We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the Fresno County Transportation Author ity’s pass-through Measure C Funds (Measure C Funds) of the City of Sanger, California (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements , which collectively comprise the City’s Measure C Funds financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated April 9, 2026.

Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statemen ts, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control), as it relates to the Measure C Funds, as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressin g our opinions on the financia l statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the e ffectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements, on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Measure C Funds of th e City’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a ma terial weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control wa s for the limited purpose described in th e first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesse s or, significant deficiencies.

Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify an y deficiencies in internal cont rol that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.

16 Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Measure C Funds of the City’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its complia nce with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements.

However, providing an opinion on complia nce with those provisions was not an obje ctive of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards or the Measure C Enabling Legislation.

Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to de scribe the scope of our testing of intern al control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an op inion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control or on compliance as it relates to the Measure C Funds. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control and complianc e. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

CITY OF SANGER

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

To: Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Virginia Harmon, Finance Director
Subject: Investment Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2026

Attachments: (1) Summary of Cash and Investments as of March 31, 2026 (2) Portfolio Summary and Key Statistics for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2026 (3) US Bank Custodial Account Statement for Month End March 31, 2026

CONFLICT OF INTEREST:

Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest u nder the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code § 87100, et seq.).

Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council receives the report.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Transmitted herewith is the City’s investment report for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

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 March 31, 2026, was $52,831,018.

The cash and investments held by the City include the following components: Managed Investment Portfolio ($30,551,410), State of CA Local Agency Investment Fund ($19,244,388), California Asset Management Program (CAMP) Pooled Investment Fund ($34,627), Cash/Time Deposits ($2,737,942), and accrued interest on investments ($262,651). 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, three Certificates of Deposit totaling $650,000 matured, and one Federal Agency bond for $250,000 matured.

Two-year Treasuries were yielding 3.47% at the beginning of the quarter ended at 3.79% which was a increase of 32 basis points for the quarter.

As of March 31, 2026, the Weighted Yield to Maturity on the Managed Investment Portfolio was 3.63%.

At the end of this quarter, the Weighted Average Maturity of the Managed Investment Portfolio was

2.47 years.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meets approximately every six weeks and determines the level of the Federal Funds Rate. At the March 18th meeting, the FOMC voted to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 3‑ 1/2 to 3‑ 3/4 percent.

Summary from the December 10th meeting:

"Available indicators suggest that economic activity has been expanding at a solid pace. Job gains have remained low, and the unemployment rate has been little changed in recent months. Inflation 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 implications of developments in the Middle East for the U.S. economy are uncertain. The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate.

In support of its goals, the Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 3‑ 1/2 to 3‑ 3/4 percent. In considering the extent and timing of 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 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.”

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

To: Mayor and Council Members
From: Dr. Joshua Goggins, Community Development Director Subject: Development Impact Fee Deferral for Autry Plumbing Project : 2700 Academy Avenue

Attachments:

1. Resolution No. 2026-34

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-34 approving the conditional deferral of development impact fees for the project located 2700 Academy Avenue.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Applicant, Ken Autry of Autry Plumbing, is requesting a structured deferral of Development Impact Fees (DIF) for a two -phased commercial project at 2700 Academy Avenue. Due to unexpected and unforeseen construction costs and external financial pressures, the project is facing a significant hardship. To ensure project viability, Staff recommends a schedule where the Applicant pays two-thirds of Phase 1 fees immediately to allow for Phase 1 final occupancy, while delaying the remaining balance and all Phase 2 fees until the final occupancy of Phase 2. To provide the Applicant with fina ncial certainty, the City will maintain the current Phase 2 fee rates for a period of five (5) years. However, to protect the City’s interests, all deferred fees must be paid in full within a maximum of ten (10) years.

Any Phase 2 fees remaining unpaid aft er the initial five-year period will be subject to recalculation to reflect any new Development Impact Fee rates passed by the City Council in the future. This proposal does not waive or eliminate any fees; it simply adjusts the payment timing to facilitate local business expansion while securing the City’s total revenue (currently $178,917.20 in deferred obligations) through a formal agreement and strictly enforced occupancy holds.

BACKGROUND:

Mr. Ken Autry of Autry Plumbing (the “Applicant” ) is in the process of developing a multi -phased commercial project on a 4.82- acre site located at 2700 Academy Avenue. The project is designed to be completed in two distinct phases:

• Phase 1: Development of approximately 2.5 acres, with total calculated Impact Fees of $140,850.00.

• Phase 2: Development of approximately 2.32 acres, with total calculated Impact Fees of $131,967.20.

Since the project ’s inception, the Applicant has encountered significant, unexpected, and unforeseen circumstances related to escalating construction costs and site- specific inflationary pressures. These unanticipated expenses have significantly exceeded the original project projections, creating a demonstrable hardship that threatens to delay the completion of the project and the subsequent commencement of business operations.

The proposed Resolution accommodates this project’s needs by establishing a structured framework for fee protection and repayment. Specifically, it provides a five -year rate guarantee, ensuring that both the $131,967.20 Phase 2 fee and the $46,950.00 defer red balance from Phase 1 remain fixed at these current amounts from the date of the Resolution’s adoption. However, to account for future municipal adjustments, any Phase 2 fees remaining unpaid after this initial five-year period will be recalculated and paid based on any new Development Impact Fee rates passed by the City Council that are in effect at the time of payment.

Finally, the Resolution includes a ten- year “sunset” provision, stipulating that the total period of deferral shall not exceed a decade. Should Phase 2 fail to reach final occupancy within this ten-year timeframe, the total deferred amount will automatically convert into a debt that is immediately due and payable to the City, regardless of the project's construction status.

Furthermore, the Kings River Technology Park has historically presented unique developmental challenges due to specific utility alignment requirements. The Applicant has absorbed the costs of these logistical complexities, which, when coupled with the current market volatility for utility materials, have exacerbated the strain on the project’s contingency funds.

Additionally, the timing of this development is critical as it serves as a foundational project for the revitalized Kings River Technology Park in this sector of the City of Sanger. A delay in the completion of this site would not only impact the Applicant ’s immediate operations but would also slow the momentum of peripheral infrastructure improvements and job creation targets identified in the City’ s development strategy for the Kings River Technology Park. Granting relief at this juncture ensures that a vital local employer can continue to invest in Sanger despite these external financial pressures.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The goal of the City’s economic development strategy is to encourage business growth and the improvement of major corridors like the Kings River Technology Park. By granting this temporary deferral in response to unexpected and unforeseen circumstances and the resulting hardship, the City of Sanger facilitates the completion of a local business expansion that will generate long- term sales tax revenue and employment opportunities for Sanger residents.

Staff emphasize that the City of Sanger is not waiving or getting rid of any portion of the development

impact fees. The proposed action is strictly a structural accommodation to defer the timing of the payments to align with the project’s completion milestones. By providing these necessary accommodations, the City of Sanger ensures the project remains viable while maintaining the total integrity of the City’s impact fee revenue.

Moreover, providing this structured flexibility demonstrates the City’ s commitment to a pro -business environment that is responsive to the real-world obstacles faced by local business owners. By aligning the City of Sanger’s fee collection schedule with the project ’s actual operational milestones, we ensure that significant land -use projects reach completion rather than becoming stagnant, half -finished sites. This approach not only secures the eventual collection of 100% of the required impact fees but also safeguards the City of Sanger’s broader interest in maintaining active, productive, and tax- generating commercial properties.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no long-term negative fiscal impact on the City’s development impact fee funds as no fees are being waived. All fees will be collected in full prior to the total completion of the project. The inclusion of a five-year expiration on the locked-in rates protects the City’s fiscal position, ensuring that if the project stalls beyond five years, the City can collect fees at any updated rates passed by the City Council.

Furthermore, the ten-year mandatory repayment provision ensures the City recovers its funds even if Phase 2 is never developed. To secure the City's interest, the deferral will be tied to a formal Deferral Agreement recorded as a lien or equivalent security instrument against the property.

ALTERNATIVES:

While Staff recommends the structured deferral to support the project’s completion, the City Council may consider alternative courses of action. One option is to require immediate satisfaction of all outstanding Phase 1 development impact fee obligations in accordance with the City of Sanger’s standard payment schedule. However, this may result in a prolonged vacancy of the completed Phase 1 building and could stall the commencement of Phase 2 indefinitely due to the Applicant’s current financial hardship. Conversely, the City Council could elect for a full deferral of 100% of all fees until the completion of Phase 2. Staff does not recommend this second alternative, as the current two-thirds payment proposal ensures that the City of Sanger recovers a significant portion of costs associated with the initial infrastructure impacts of Phase 1 while providing the necessary financial flexibility for the project to move forward.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

Should the City Council approve the resolution, Staff and the City Attorney will finalize a formal Development Impact Fee Deferral Agreement explicitly outlining the five -year rate guarantee and the ten -year absolute deadline for repayment. Following the execution of this agreement, the Community Development Department, as well as the Finance Department, will be formally notified of the revised fee schedule. This administrative coordination ensures that Phase 1 occupancy is released only upon the 2/3 payment and that all Phase 2 city- related approvals and final inspections are strictly held until the final balance is satisfied in full.

CITY OF SANGER

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

To: Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Dr. Joshua Goggins, Community Development Director Subject: Initiation of Annexation of Real Property for Regional Storm Drain Facility – Property located on the South S ide of North Avenue B etween Indian ola and Bethel Avenues (APN 332-080-40).

Attachments:

1. 2035 General Plan Land Use Map

2. Aerial and Street View of Project Area

3. Location Map – Tract 6493 and Proposed Regional Storm Drain Basin

4. City Council Ordinance No. 2026-02

CONFLICT OF INTEREST:

None known.

RECOMMENDATION:

1. Waive the full reading and adopt by title only, Ordinance No. 2026-02 an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Sanger approving Zoning Ordinance Map Amendment No 2026-01 for pre-annexation zoning from Fresno County’s AE-20 (Exclusive Agriculture) to the City’s RSC (Recreation, Schools, and Conservation) zone district for approximately 11.42 acres located on the south side of North Avenue between Indianola and Bethel Avenues (APN 332-080-40)

PROJECT BACKGROUND:

The project site consists of approximately 11.42 acres of land and associated public right -of-way generally bounded by East North Avenue to the north, South Indianola Avenue to the west, and South Bethel Avenue to the east. The subject property is located within Fresno County and within the City of Sanger’s Sphere of Influence.

At its meeting of October 16, 2025, the City Council issued final approvals, including initiation of

01484.0005 2092427.1
annexation, for the subdivision known as Tentative Tract 6493, being developed by Lennar Homes of California (Lennar). One of the conditions of approval of that project is to acquire and construct (at least initially) the master-planned storm drainage basin facility for the Southwest Drainage Area, as defined by the City’s Storm Drain Master Plan (“Basin Condition”). The location of this regional basin facility has been planned for almost a quarter of a century and was defined as early as 2003 with the 2025 General Plan and was also included with the City’s current 2035 General Plan. This regional stormwater drain facility is anticipated to serve a 450- acre area, including Phase 1 of the Lennar development, which is approximately 40 acres. See Attachment 1 for the adopted Land Use Map where the basin area is highlighted and see Attachment 2 for aerial and street views of the project area.

The property of the location of the proposed regional stormwater drain facility is owned by Choolijian Farms (“Choolijian”). The City Council previously authorized an agreement to transfer title of the property to the City.

As previously flagged for the Council, the property for the regional stormwater drain facility is currently outside of City limits, but within the City’s sphere of influence. As a result, this property will need to be pre-zoned and annexed into the City. Additionally, the California Government Code requires a finding of General Plan conformity and review for the same by the Planning Commission, and a CEQA assessment for the project as may be appropriate.

This staff report addresses the required pre-zoning and initiation of annexation proceedings with the Fresno Local Agency Formation Commission ( Fresno LAFCO) to allow implementation of storm drainage facilities and to ensure consistency with the City’s 2035 General Plan and zoning regulations upon annexation.

INITIATION OF ANNEXATION:

The basin property is located outside of City limits, consisting of approximately 11.42 acres generally located on the south side of North Avenue between Indianola and Bethel Avenues (APN 332-080-40). Per the Memorandum of Understanding between the City and County, specific procedures must be taken to in order to change jurisdiction of property from County to City. The Fresno Local Agency Formation Commission (Fresno LAFC O) is the authority in decisions on change of organization boundaries (City Limits), including annexations. Planning Commission recommended initiation to City Council at a public hearing held on January 29, 2026. The first step in this process is initiation of annexation by the City via resolution directing staff to proceed with application to Fresno LAFCO.

GENERAL PLAN CONFORMITY:

California Government Code Section 65402 requires that the City cannot acquire real property for public purposes until the matter has been submitted to the Planning Commission for a report as to conformity with the adopted General Plan. This matter was considered by the Planning Commission at its meeting on November 10, 2025, and the Planning Commission found that the proposed regional stormwater drain facility on the Choolijian property was consistent with the City’s adopted 2035 General Plan.

As stated earlier, Attachment 1 shows the Land Use Map from the adopted 2035 General Plan and depicts a “Storm Drain Facility” within the Choolijian property. Attachment 3 shows the planned location of the actual basin, which aligns more or less with the existing topography of the site, which can be seen in the street and aerial views in Attachment 2. The low-lying topography, as well as the location relative to the 450-acres being served by the proposed basin, were part of the initial site determination for the facility. As a result, the proposed location is in substantial conformance to the 2035 General Plan.

01484.0005 2092427.1

ZONING ORDINANCE CONFORMITY:

The subject property is outside of the city limits. Therefore, prezoning is required to match the General Plan Land Use. The subject property will go from County of Fresno: AE-20 (Exclusive Agricultural) to City of Sanger RSC (Recreation, Schools and Conservation) zone district. The RSC zone district is consistent with the 2035 General Plan designation of Storm Drain Facility.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS

Staff have evaluated the proposed project in accordance with CEQA Guidelines section 15183, which allows streamlined environmental review for projects that are consistent with the development density and policies of an adopted General Plan for which an EIR has been certified.

Based on staff review of the 2035 General Plan and the certified General Plan EIR, the proposed storm drain basin project is proposed to be found to be consistent with the General Plan and within the scope of the impacts analyzed in the General Plan EIR, for the following reasons:

1. The project is consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified. • The project site is designated “Storm Drain Facility” under the 2035 General Plan. Storm drainage basins and related public utility infrastructure are allowed uses within this designation.

2. There are no project specific effects which are peculiar to the project or its site. • The proposed storm drain basin directly implements these policies and does not conflict with any General Plan objectives.
• There are no unique features or other unusual conditions of the property that would give rise to specific effect peculiar to the site; this is a property of a type generally found throughout the 2035 General Plan planning area and common to the area.

3. There are no project specific impacts which the EIR for the General Plan failed to analyze as significant effects.
• The project is within the development intensity and infrastructure assumptions considered in the EIR.

4. There are no potentially significant off-site and/or cumulative impacts which the GPU EIR failed to evaluate. There is no substantial new information which results in more severe impacts than anticipated by the EIR for the General Plan Update.
• There are no substantial changes to the project, circumstances, or regulatory environment that would trigger the need for a subsequent or supplemental EIR. The project qualifies for reliance on the General Plan EIR under CEQA Guidelines §15183, and preparation of additional CEQA documents is not required.

As a result, no further analysis is required by CEQA, and the City Council may adopt an exemption for this project pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The property has been planned for a regional storm drain facility for decades and is designated as such in the 2035 General Plan. The acquisition and construction of the basin is a condition of approval of Tract 6493, which has been approved by the Planning Commission and the City Council. The basin will provide a regional benefit and the acquisition of real property for this use will be in substantial conformance to the 2035 General Plan.

01484.0005 2092427.1

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may choose not to adopt the resolution. If so, staff requests the Council provide direction on next steps.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

The acquisition of the property is contingent upon close of escrow and transfer of the property to the City.

As part of the process, staff will submit the annexation resolution to Fresno LAFCO.

01484.0005 2092426.1
present evidence; and

WHEREAS, the City Council now desires to approve Zoning Ordinance A mendment 2026-01,

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Sanger does ordain as follows:

Section 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.

Section 2. CEQA. The City Council finds the project is consistent with the 2035 General Plan, and that all potentially significant impacts were addressed in the 2035 General Plan EIR (SCH#2003011060). Therefore, the project is exempt from further environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.

Section 3. General Plan Consistency for ZOA 2026-01. The City Council finds that ZOA 2026-01 is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the 2035 General Plan. In this regard, the City Council find that public necessity, convenience, general welfare, and good zoning practices justify approval of ZOA 202 6-01.

Specifically, the pre-zoning change is consistent with the 2035 General Plan goals and policies, any operative plan, or adopted policy, and implements the planned land uses in the Project area. The change is also consistent with the purpose of the City’s zoning ordinance to promote the growth of the city in an orderly and sustainable manner, and to promote and protect the 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 needed residential, parks, opens space, trails, and a recharge basin consistent with the 2035 General Plan.
