__________________________________________________________________________ ITEM NO: 2.
SUBJECT: Proposal for Adopting a New City Logo for Selma ______________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND: The City of Selma began a rebranding process in November 2023 to develop a unified and visually appealing brand. Selma’s ongoing growth and numerous development projects create a favorable opportunity for introducing a fresh brand identity, essential for ensuring uniform messaging and attracting both families and businesses to the area.
The project comprises two phases: Phase one focuses on design, including creating a logo, tagline, color scheme, and standalone graphics. Phase two will entail the development of a comprehensive marketing blueprint to standardize communication styles across various city departments. This approach ensures a unified communication strategy, specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of the Selma community.
DISCUSSION: The rebranding process commenced with a survey aimed at understanding the current perceptions of Selma. The goal of this was to uncover the imagery associated with the city, its cherished memories, and the values that define Selma’s identity.
The data collected kickstarted the creative process to develop designs and a tagline. The surveys clearly indicated that Selma was a city experiencing growth and progress, rooted in tradition but in need of a modern brand to complement its advancement. The entire process was guided by a respect for Selma’s rich history while striving to invest in the future.
Despite historical significance as a leading agricultural hub, Selma has witnessed substantial changes in agricultural trends over the past few decades. To highlight Selma as a hub of innovation, city staff collaborated with the design team at Golden Shovel Agency to ensure the logo and tagline reflect the city's forward-thinking trajectory.
This logo is intended to serve as visual identity for the Selma, separate from the previous seal.
Unlike the seal, the logo is meant for widespread use in City communications. City seals, typically circular emblems, often lack distinction between municipalities and fail to effectively convey a city's unique character. Relying on seals for branding is insufficient. Staff’s goal is for the city seal and logo to complement each other, each serving its distinct purpose.
In Phase 2 of our initiative, outlined in the marketing blueprint, we will provide clear guidelines delineating the specific contexts and applications where the city seal and logo should be utilized, ensuring clarity and consistency in their respective roles.
Staff is presenting the recommended logo designs to the City Council. ______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommend the adoption of the presented logo. ______________________________________________________________________________ April 1, 2024 Council Packet April 1, 2024 Council Packet Page 193 Page 175 _____/s/___________________________ March 25, 2024

__________________________________________________________________________ ITEM NO: 3.
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Adopting a Downtown Storefront Improvement Grant in the Downtown Business Improvement District
______________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND: The Downtown Business Improvement District (BID) prepared a 6- month budget which was adopted by the City Council on January 16, 2024. This budget reflected a $28,000 allocation for a Downtown Storefront Improvement Grant.
In September 2020 the City Council Adopted a resolution establishing a Facade Improvement Revolving Loan Program to improve the vitality of Downtown Selma along High Street. The program was intended to assist merchants and commercial property owners with exterior rehabilitation of their property. Financial assistance through this program offered a 0% (zero percent) interest unsecured loan (no collateral needed) for eligible repairs and improvements.
The loan was intended to be 50% (fifty percent) or less match to the investment provided by the property owner to complete eligible improvements.
The existing program did not generate interest, as there were no applications from businesses wishing to obtain a loan for improvements. In response to this observation, the Downtown BID created new guidelines for the Downtown BID Storefront Improvement Grant. The main differences include expanding the eligibility criteria to cover a larger area, encompassing the entire downtown business improvement district instead of just businesses along High Street. Additionally, the funds would be administered as a reimbursement grant rather than a loan.
DISCUSSION: The Downtown Business Improvement District (BID) has been working through the development of program guidelines, an application, and a scoring rubric for a Downtown BID Storefront Improvement Grant.
The Downtown Storefront Improvement Grant is a strategic initiative on behalf of the Downtown BID aimed at revitalizing downtown businesses by providing financial support and incentive for exterior enhancements. Unlike a traditional facade grant program, this unique initiative distinguishes itself by excluding improvements subject to upcoming design guidelines.
Recognizing the ongoing development of design guidelines, the Storefront Improvement Program focuses on eligible enhancements that align with community preferences but do not fall within the parameters of the forthcoming design restrictions. This intentional exclusion is to ensure that the grant program not only complements the City's vision for immediately providing resources for improving aesthetics, but also serves as a prelude to more robust and comprehensive façade grant program in the future after design guidelines for the downtown have been established. Through this phased approach, Selma aims to empower downtown businesses, enhance community aesthetics, and lay the groundwork for a cohesive and visually appealing downtown.

COUNCIL MEETING DATE: April 1, 2024
__________________________________________________________________________ ITEM NO: 4.
SUBJECT: Request for Council Direction On Business License Fees ______________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND:
At the Selma City Council meeting on March 4, 2024, the Council requested that Staff review the current business license fees, specifically fees associated with special events for vendors.
DISCUSSION:
Business license fees of varying types were adopted multiple times, ranging from 1987 to 2023, with the recent update of the Special Event Ordinance. Currently, the City does not have a one-day license fee. A review of the single-day license fee is as follows:
• Clovis - $39 (1 day) or $62 (2 days)
• Reedley - $54 (1 day)
o Requires minimum $1 million insurance if a sidewalk vendor • Kingsburg - $12.50 per day; $37.50 per month; $75 per year • Fresno – minimum of $14 before gross receipts (minimum $35), total $49 o Requires a Zoning Clearance through Planning prior to approval (ranges from $34.46 (minor) to $2,142.36 (major)).
o Total could be as low as $73.46
• Fowler - $14 (maximum of one per year)
• Dinuba - $7.75 (one day)
• Sanger - $19 per day, $54 per month, $129 year
• Average
o Per Day - $27.89
A fee of approximately $30 would be consistent with the current fee for out-of-town business licenses, with an approval process resembling a registration and issuance rather than an ongoing renewal process. Therefore, the fee can be justified under the current rate structure.
Home Occupation Permit (HOPs) are currently identified within the Zoning Ordinance to identify regulations for residents to operate in residential zone districts without severely impacting the character of the neighborhood. Home occupation permit fee of $455 was adopted in 2021 with the Comprehensive Fee Study and includes the permitting process through Planning to review the business attributes and the business license application review ($455). This rate assumes mostly time for the Planning Department to conduct a review of the property. It does currently require some notification to the surrounding owners for approval of the use.
However, the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update will propose a minor and major Home Occupation, with the former being simplified to an acknowledgment form and being charged April 1, 2024 Council Packet April 1, 2024 Council Packet Page 209 Page 191 at a typical business license rate ($205). The major HOP will resemble the current process but is proposed to allow a slightly wider range of uses which may include an additional nonfamily employee and customers by appointment only. The current fee of $455 for this major HOP would be appropriate to allow for inspection of the home in conformance with the Code Update.
Lastly, the current Business License Fee includes and excludes current staff who review applications at rates that likely exceed those of current staff completing the work. The current breakdown of the Business License Application Fee is as follows:
Hours Rate Total
Account Clerk 2 0.50 $124.98 $62.49
Fire Marshal 0.50 $165.40 $82.70
Police Sargeant 0.08 $128.63 $10.29
Contract Planner 0.25 $196.20 $49.05
Totals 1.33 n/a $204.53
The current review process includes the Assistant Planner, Building Inspector, Fire Marshal, Code Enforcement Officer I, and an Accounting Technician. Based on the current estimated time for each team member’s approval of an application, a proposed fee could be estimated as follows:
Hours Rate Total
Assistant Planner 0.3 $54.67 $16.40
Building Inspector 0.4 $56.58 $22.68
Fire Marshal 0.4 $99.91 $39.96
Code Enforcement Officer I 0.4 $40.28 $16.10
Accounting Technician 1.0 $59.35 $59.35
Totals $154.49
A new proposed fee of $155 would be acceptable to cover the current review process of business license applications based on the hours allotted above.
Furthermore, the City has received requests from upcoming event organizers regarding the amounts charged for vendors associated with their events. Staff would recommend waiving the fees associated with single-day business licenses for only the Sikh Parade and the Raisin Festival for this year only, with the one-day license fee being applied to vendors at all events once it is formally adopted by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT: A potential decline in General Fund revenue due to a fee reduction from $205 or $455 to $30 for one-day business licenses would be expected. ______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION: By motion, approve a temporary waiver of business license requirements for Sikh Parade and Raisin Festival vendors for 2024 only, and; provide direction to Staff regarding the creation of a One-Day/Single Event Business License Fee of $30 for vendors associated with a Special Event and revision of the current Business License Application Fee to $155.

__________________________________________________________________________ ITEM NO: 5.
SUBJECT: Discussion on Selma’s Housing Priorities
______________________________________________________________________________ DISCUSSION: During the March 18, 2024 Council meeting, Council member MendozaNavarro requested a future agenda item to discuss key housing topics pertinent to the City of Selma, for discussion in Washington DC. City Staff has identified several critical issues related to housing policy that require federal attention and action.
The City of Selma faces significant housing shortfalls, exacerbated by challenges stemming from aged infrastructure and constraints on construction due to inadequate sewer trunk lines hinder Selma's growth and economic disparities. As the city seeks to address these challenges and promote sustainable development, collaboration with federal policymakers is essential. The Selma City Council has requested a review of key housing topics to be discussed in Washington DC, with a focus on policy initiatives that can support Selma's housing goals.
1. Housing Shortages: Selma confronts a severe shortage of housing, intensifying housing insecurity among its residents. Federal support, coupled with addressing infrastructure limitations, is indispensable for augmenting the supply of housing and enhancing accessibility to housing assistance programs.
2. Neighborhood Revitalization: Many of Selma's neighborhoods necessitate revitalization efforts to combat blight, disinvestment, and infrastructure inadequacies. Federal grants and incentives can bolster community-led revitalization endeavors, fostering economic development and elevating residents' quality of life.
3. Affordable Housing for All Income Levels: Facilitating homeownership opportunities for all income families, including those with low incomes is pivotal for wealth accumulation and community stability in Selma. Federal initiatives, including mortgage assistance programs and homeownership counseling, can enhance homeownership accessibility and affordability for low-income households. Additionally, initiatives for rental housing, such as subsidized housing and affordable housing development, can provide options for those who may not be ready for homeownership. Providing senior housing options ensures safe and affordable living arrangements, contributing to overall community well-being. It’s esstial that these efforts address infrastructure challenges concurrently to ensure inclusive housing solutions for all Selma residents.
4. Down Payment Assistance: Establishing payment assistance programs can be invaluable for helping low- and moderate-income families achieve their dream of homeownership. By providing financial support for the down payment of mortgage, such programs can make a significant difference in making housing more accessible and affordable for those who need it most. Homeownership motivates increased community pride regardless of income level, April 1, 2024 Council Packet April 1, 2024 Council Packet Page 212 Page 194 so increasing opportunities for homeownership will increase community engagement and enhance quality of life in Selma.
Based on the identified housing topics, the following policy recommendations are proposed for consideration by federal policymakers:
1. Increase funding for housing programs while concurrently investing in infrastructure improvements, including sewer trunk lines, to facilitate housing development.
2. Establish targeted grant programs to support neighborhood revitalization endeavors, addressing both infrastructural and community development needs.
3. Expand access to homeownership opportunities through federal programs, prioritizing infrastructure investments to enable construction and housing development.
4. Provide funding for downpayment assistance programs to enhance access to homeownership opportunities, particularly for low-income individuals and families.
Collaborative action at the federal level is imperative to address Selma's housing challenges comprehensively. By prioritizing the identified housing topics and concurrently addressing infrastructure limitations, federal policymakers can empower Selma to foster stronger, more inclusive communities, thereby laying the groundwork for sustained growth and prosperity.
