Council Member Guerra inquired on Cal Card transactions to Tractor Supply instead of local business Elm Feed and emphasized supporting local businesses. City Manager Santillan discussed that Elm Feed is generally used for animal shelter purchases, but the specific reason for using Tractor Supply could have been due to a particular item that may not have been available at Elm Feed. Mayor Robertson discussed the Cal Card transaction to Nelson’s Ace Hardware for supplies to repair city benches. He thanked the Public Works Department for the repaired bench next to KFC and reported that it has already received positive public feedback. A motion was then made by Council Member Guerra to APPROVE CHECK REGISTER DATED JULY 3, 2024. The motion was seconded by Council Member Mendoza-Navarro and carried unanimously.

MID VALLEY DISPOSAL ROLL OUT UPDATE
City Manager Santillan introduced Joseph Kalpakoff, President and CEO of Mid Valley Disposal, who provided a presentation on the update of Mid Valley Disposal’s trash collection services and an evaluation of the new alley collection system. Mr. Kalpakoff highlighted the collaborative efforts between Mid Valley and City staff, the distribution of educational materials starting in April, and participation in community events. He also addressed cart deliveries, removal of old containers, and compliance with state regulations. Mr. Kalpakoff discussed the benefits of curbside collection over alley collection and outlined the criteria for walk-in service for residents unable to bring their carts to the curb. He discussed the current evaluation of the alley collection system and plans to conduct a customer survey in 48 to 60 days to gather public feedback and assess the effectiveness of the new system. They are focusing on high-traffic areas and school zones to determine the optimal collection strategy.

Extensive data has been collected, including 32,000 residential pickups and the removal of 2,700 bulky items. Public comment was received from the following: Selma Business Owner, Dale Earhart, Mary Chapa, Ike Talamantes, Stella Ramirez, Jennifer Guerra, Michael Barron, Bryan Ceballos, Kelly Guerra, Jim Avalos, Mercedes Zamora, Betty Standridge, Beverly Barron, Rose Robertson, Theresa Salas, and Robert Cortez. Council discussed curbside collection and exemptions, state mandated compliance with organic recycling, ongoing dialogue, and continued collaboration. After the discussion, Mayor Robertson motioned to CHANGE FROM CURBSIDE COLLECTION TO ALLEY COLLECTION.

The motion was seconded by Council Member Guerra. City Manager Santillan addressed the Council before the vote, sharing a productive discussion with Mid Valley Disposal. He noted that specific solutions had been proposed to potentially exempt certain areas from the alley-to-curbside transition. Of the 5,500 accounts affected, approximately 95-98% have successfully transitioned. He discussed the development of plans to address areas that may August 19, 2024 Council Packet Page 2
pose potential safety hazards and traffic impacts, particularly around schools. He also highlighted that infrastructure considerations are crucial, as the city had spent over a million dollars in the past decade repairing alleys damaged by trucks. He emphasized the importance of collaboration and communication in addressing ongoing challenges. Additionally, he pointed out that prior to the Request for Proposal, the previous hauler, Waste Management had also requested the city to change from alley to curbside pickup, indicating that these issues were not unique to any one trash hauler. He advised the Council to consider this broader context in their decision-making. Mayor Robertson called for a roll call on his motion to CHANGE FROM CURBSIDE COLLECTION TO ALLEY COLLECTION. The motion was seconded by Council Member Guerra, and failed to carry by the following vote:

AYES: Robertson, Guerra
NOES: Mendoza-Navarro, Trujillo, Cho

Deputy City Manager Keene introduced Teri Ogle, Executive Director of the Fresno County Transportation who provided a presentation including a project map and August 19, 2024 Council Packet Page 3
timeline on the Golden State Boulevard Corridor Project. Council Member Trujillo inquired about the funding source, to which Teri Ogle explained that Measure C has been funding the project since 2009. Council Member Guerra asked about the public meetings for the project, expressing concerns about property owners losing parking stalls and unfinished corners.

Public Works Director Honn explained the delays for the unfinished areas are due to PG&E and their Rule 16. Mr. Ogle also mentioned the hold-up with Union Pacific Railroad Company. Mayor Robertson inquired about the bike paths, and Mr. Ogle responded, discussing Measure C funding, the Transit Operations and Maintenance Facility being built in Selma, and the timeline for the project's renewal.

CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION AWARDING GRIFFIN STRUCTURES

FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT WITH MASTER ARCHITECTURAL
SERVICES FOR THE CITY OF SELMA NEW FIRE STATION NO. 3 PROJECT City Manager Santillan discussed the process for the project and highlighted that partial funding for the project was secured from Senator Hurtado. Following the release of the Request for Proposals (RFP), two proposals were received from Vanir and Griffin Structures.

After reviewing the proposals, the team recommended that the Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate with Griffin Structures. Dustin Alamo from Griffin Structures discussed their ongoing projects and expressed enthusiasm for working in Selma. Council Member Guerra asked about the project process, noting a significant difference in proposal amounts and inquiring about the scoring and who was involved. City Manager Santillan explained that the RFP included preliminary timelines and that both proposers submitted construction timelines with different approaches. He mentioned that while he did not have the scoring rubric, the evaluation panel included the City Manager, Fire Chief, and Public Works Director. Mayor Robertson appreciated a picture of the Salinas Fire Station and asked how the Selma structure would reflect the landmark structure in Selma. Mr. Alamo suggested that some fire stations reflect civic aspects while others mirror residential areas and recommended incorporating community feedback. Mayor Robertson proposed a collaborative process with the City and possibly a workshop for community feedback. Mr. Alamo also discussed the project timeline and indicated that having multiple options for contractors is beneficial. Public comment was received from Stella Ramirez, Rose Robertson, and Jim Avalos. Council Member Mendoza-Navaro motioned to approve RESOLUTION 2024-83R, AWARDING

GRIFFIN STRUCTURES FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT WITH MASTER

ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES FOR THE CITY OF SELMA NEW FIRE STATION NO. 3 PROJECT. The motion was seconded by Council Member Guerra and carried unanimously.

CITY MANAGER’S/STAFF’S REPORT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING: August 19, 2024
ITEM NO: C.

SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Approving the Auto and Mutual Aid Agreement Between the City of Kingsburg and the City of Selma for Fire Protection Services
BACKGROUND: The American Fire Service relies heavily on its cooperators and partners to effectively provide fire and emergency services across the country. This occurs through the use of auto aid and mutual aid agreements. It is necessary for the City of Selma Fire Department to enter into auto aid and mutual aid agreements with neighboring jurisdictions to ensure that there are adequate resources available to serve the needs of the community.

Auto Aid allows for the immediate response of predesignated resources not subject to authorization prior to responding. Mutual Aid allows for the request of resources based on the needs of the incident commander and are subject to authorization by the Responding Party for each request. This agreement allows for resources to be ordered through either mechanism to best serve the communities of either jurisdiction. Records indicate that the City of Kingsburg and the City of Selma have never entered into an auto and mutual aid agreement in the past.

Currently the sharing of resources occurs through an auto aid agreement with Fresno County Fire Protection District which loosely allows for both Selma and Kingsburg to be cooperators in the Operational Area. The Auto and Mutual Aid agreement between the City of Selma and the City of Kingsburg more clearly defines the parameters of how we will share resources.

This partnership will provide for a more efficient deployment of resources which leads to the increased safety of our staff and our citizens.

The fiscal impact borne by either city as a result of this agreement is minimal and mainly associated with the operation and maintenance costs of the apparatus.

This Agreement may be terminated by mutual consent of both Parties. Either Party may terminate this agreement upon 60 days prior written notification to the other Party. This agreement will remain in effect for ten years after the effective date and will be reviewed triennially.

RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the attached Resolution approving the Auto and Mutual Aid Agreement and Authorize the City Manager and Fire Chief to execute all documents. _____/s/_____________________________________ _08/12/2024___ Jordan Webster, Fire Chief Date

CITY MANAGER’S/STAFF’S REPORT
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 19, 2024
__________________________________________________________________________ ITEM NO: E.

SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Approving Salary Range for Fire Chief ______________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND: Per the City of Selma Municipal Code Section 2-2-2, section (D), any revisions to class specifications are required to be approved by the City Council. In addition, any updates to the Master Salary Schedule are also required to be approved by the City Council.

DISCUSSION: The City of Selma has recently undergone a classification and compensation study, which has not been adopted by the Council, but which has been reviewed by Staff and bargaining units. A formal request for adoption of this study is forthcoming; however, during the process of reviewing the data gathered by our consultant, Ramos HR Consulting, it became apparent that various executive level positions are significantly behind in terms of compensation. In particular, the Fire Chief salary is deemed to be almost 30% behind the target 60th percentile of the market and is severely compacted by salaries of subordinate positions.

Staff is recommending that the following salary range be adopted for the position listed below, based on the salary comparison in the Revised Final Draft Classification Study Report, of which an excerpt is attached.

Current Monthly Proposed Monthly
Fire Chief $9,732 - $12,420 $12,350- $15,961
Staff intends to propose further adjustments to executive level salaries based on this study at an upcoming meeting, as well as revisions to the citywide Master Salary Schedule following negotiations with labor groups. However, this item is particularly urgent because of the extent of the discrepancy as well as the coincidence with the Fire Chief’s annual evaluation. _____________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION: Adoption of the attached Resolution approving the revised salary range for the Fire Chief and authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to add to the Master Salary Schedule.

Interim Executive Director
Fresno Council of Governments

Fresno, CA 93721
SUBJECT: Support for the Fresno County Safe Routes to School Safety Action Plan Dear Mr. Phipps,
The City of Selma (City) strongly supports the application by the Fresno Council of Governments (Fresno COG) to the US Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) FY2024 Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Planning Grant for the Fresno County Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Safety Action Plan.

The City of Selma understands the Safety Action Plan will include outreach to school districts and communities to develop a robust list of safe routes to school projects and identify strategies and goals to reduce pedestrian and bicyclist injuries and fatalities. The plan aligns with the USDOT SS4A Planning Grant criteria by including an oversight committee, which will be the existing Fresno COG SRTS Subcommittee that is comprised of mayors and will include school district representatives and additional stakeholders. The plan also aligns with SS4A by including a safety analysis that will inform recommended projects and including extensive outreach to Fresno County school districts and communities. This work will build off the previous and ongoing outreach effort to school district that Fresno COG began in 2023.

This plan will benefit a federally designated Area of Persistent Poverty, Historically Disadvantaged Community, and Opportunity Zone, as well as a state designated Disadvantaged Community, Economically Distressed Area, and Low-Income Community. The plan would help towards addressing high rates of pedestrian and bicyclist serious injuries and fatalities in a County that has persistently ranked high.

Fresno COG is requesting $400,000 in grant funding for the Fresno County SRTS Safety Action Plan. Fresno COG would also contribute $100,000 in local matching funds towards the plan.

The City of Selma plans to take full advantage of potential financial opportunities provided through the USDOT SS4A Planning Grant. The City is currently gathering data through public engagement on how to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. Federal funding can subsequently be utilized to fund identified infrastructure and safety improvement projects that are impactful for the City.

The City fully supports this initiative and recognizes its potential to create safer, more accessible August 19, 2024 Council Packet Page 28
routes for our children. We believe that the development and implementation of this Safety Action Plan will have a profound and positive impact on our community.

The City of Selma would like to thank USDOT for its consideration and welcomes the opportunity to support Fresno COG in the pursuit of this plan.

Sincerely,
Fernando Santillan, AICP
City Manager

CITY MANAGER’S/STAFF’S REPORT
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 19, 2024
__________________________________________________________________________ ITEM NO: 2.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Pioneer Village Master Plan
______________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND: On August 24, 2023, City staff, comprised of representatives from Administration, Planning, Building, Engineering, and Public Works, met with QK and Willdan staff to tour Pioneer Village and begin discussing an overall Master Plan for the facility. During this tour, the facility grounds and each building were inspected. Following the tour, City staff and the consultants met to discuss observations and compile comments and recommendations to be considered during conceptual design.

On December 19, 2023, QK presented three concepts for City staff to review based on the tour of the facilities and subsequent conversations about Pioneer Village. City staff then provided additional recommendations and comments to develop a revised concept, “Concept D”.

On February 1, 2024, City staff presented Concept D to the Pioneer Village Commission for discussion and recommendations. At the public meeting, the commissioners gave their approval of Concept D with no changes.

On February 20, 2024, City staff presented Concept D to Council. During that time, Council requested the development of a Phasing Plan and Engineer’s Estimate before final approval of the plan.

The development of a Pioneer Village Master Plan would allow for City staff to plan for future Capital Improvement Projects as well as pursue grant opportunities to enhance the facility through various funding sources.

DISCUSSION: Pioneer Village Site Plan, Phasing Plan and Engineer Estimates have been provided to the Council for review and/or comment.

Site Plan:

The site plan includes the following design attributes based on the feedback provided by City staff:

1. Parking summary:
a. 171 new parking spaces north of Cattleman’s Restaurant. b. Restriping provides 108 additional parking spaces east of Cattleman’s Restaurant.
i. 200 parking spaces must be made available at a minimum pursuant to the Cattleman’s usage agreement.
c. EV charging spaces have been identified and are included in the 278 spaces available adjacent to Cattleman’s Restaurant.
d. 71 new parking spaces in front of the Danish building.

August 19, 2024 Council Packet Page 39
e. 53 new parking spaces behind the existing fence, north of the banquet hall. f. 71 new parking spaces added along the northern portion of the site. g. Potential for 53 additional parking spaces west of Train Depot building, if needed.
h. There are a minimum of 327 spaces for park users, with up to 527 spaces available for potential use when events do not conflict with the Cattleman’s Restaurant usage agreement.

2. Identification of potential locations of a storm drain basin:
a. The northern corner of the site (in lieu of parking); b. A shared facility with the McGrath property; and,
c. An underground storage facility is being considered, but a location has yet to be determined.

3. The open space event area will measure 3.74 acres.
a. If the 53 additional spaces are installed, the amount of open space is reduced to 3.20 acres.

4. The opera house is proposed to be demolished and replaced with a replica banquet hall that would be approximately 4,800 square feet.

5. The restrooms are proposed to be increased in size, but will remain in their current location.

6. Options for the Chinese section houses are currently being reviewed, including potential relocation or demolition.

7. The barn and the Edge Comb building are proposed to be demolished due to the deterioration and unsafe nature of these structures.

8. The park identification sign, emergency access road, site utilities and existing well site have all been properly identified for clarity.

9. A 50-foot radius turnaround has been added at the end of Art Gonzales Parkway to promote better motorist circulation at the entrance of the park.

10. A secondary access to Golden State Boulevard has been added for emergency services with the adjacent McGrath project.
a. The parking and the possible basin both accommodate this vehicular access location.

11. The amphitheater and concrete dance floor are located at a preferred location, minimizing sun glare and ambient sound impacts while utilizing existing open space areas for shade of visitors.

The existing structures that are not proposed to be demolished or relocated will likely require some upgrades and improvements for consistency with applicable building and accessibility requirements. Staff believes that the completion of the conceptual master plan will be essential in identifying needed funding sources to upgrade Pioneer Village facilities for increased utilization as a regional asset for special events and other community uses.

Phasing Plan:

After review of the site plan, staff worked alongside the City Engineer to design a phasing plan based on the engineer’s estimate and city goals for the site. It is important to note that this phasing plan can be modified in the future, in the event a specific grant or outside funding opportunity becomes available and would be brought back to Council for final consideration and approval.

August 19, 2024 Council Packet Page 40
Staff is requesting approval on the following items pertaining to the Pioneer Village Master Plan:

1. Pioneer Village Site Plan

2. Pioneer Village Phasing Plan
FISCAL IMPACT: There will be no additional fiscal impact to the General Fund at this time. Once the Pioneer Village Master Plan is approved, Staff will continue to identify potential revenue sources, to support buildout of the Master Plan. ______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution approving and adopting the Pioneer Village Master Plan.

CITY MANAGER’S/STAFF’S REPORT
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 19, 2024
__________________________________________________________________________ ITEM NO: 3.

SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Amending the Schedule of Fees and Charges for the Preliminary Development Review Process
______________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND:

On November 2, 2021, the City Council adopted a resolution establishing a fee for “Preliminary Project Review” in the amount of $2,130, with 50% of the fee being credited to the applicant if an entitlement application is filed within 180 days of the issuance of an action letter.

The Council adopted the Zoning Code Update on June 17, 2024, which established the Preliminary Development Review (PDR) process as a mandatory review for development projects. At the time of consideration of the update, Staff stated to Council that a revision to the fee would be proposed to provide full credit of the process to applicants, rather than 50%, and to extend the period of the credit to a full year.

DISCUSSION:

The PDR process is essential to both applicants and staff to review development projects as early as possible and provide clear direction regarding identifying the appropriate entitlement process, environmental review document with technical studies, and potential development requirements. As stated above, this process is now mandatory for new development projects and some expansion of existing uses to ensure they do not proceed through the entitlement process without an understanding of potential revisions needed to complete their project in compliance with City and/or State regulations and standards.

Given that the PDR process is mandatory and to encourage timely submission of entitlement applications, Staff recommends that the fee be 100% creditable towards subsequent applications if submitted within one year rather than 180 days, as some of the entitlement review regarding identification of development conditions and consistency with local standards will have already been completed.

Lastly, the name of the fee within the current fee schedule would be revised from Preliminary Project Review Fee to Preliminary Development Review Fee, consistent with the title of Section 11-6.3 of the Zoning Code. The current fee is $2,130, which is not proposed to be changed at this time, as it adequately supports allocated staff time for review of a project.

FISCAL IMPACT: An increase or decrease in revenue is dependent on the volume of applications received and subsequent entitlement applications filed where credit would be given to the applicant.

August 19, 2024 Council Packet Page 48
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION: City Council adopt a Resolution to:

1. Rename the Preliminary Project Review Fee to Preliminary Development Review Fee; and,

2. Change the timeframe which the fee may be credited from 180 days to 1 year from the completion of the Preliminary Development Review process if an application for subsequent entitlements is filed for the project.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SELMA

AMENDING THE SCHEDULE OF FEES AND CHARGES TO RENAME PRELIMINARY

PROJECT REVIEW FEE TO PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT FEE AND INCREASE

TIMEFRAME FOR RECEIVING CREDIT ON FUTURE APPLICATIONS
WHEREAS, the City is permitted to adopt fees for municipal services, provided, however, that such fees do not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing such services; and WHEREAS, the City has conducted an analysis of its services, the costs reasonably borne for providing those services, the beneficiaries of those services, and the revenues by those paying fees and charges for special services; and
WHEREAS, the City has established a policy of recovering the full costs reasonably borne for providing special services of a voluntary and limited nature, such that general taxes are not diverted for general services of a broad nature, and thereby utilized to subsidize unfairly and inequitably such special services; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to amend the City’s existing fee schedule as set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, said fees do not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing such services.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SELMA HEREBY FINDS, DETERMINES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1: The above recitals are true and correct, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Section 2: Fee Schedule Adoption. The fees set forth in Exhibit A are hereby adopted by the City Council as the fees for the services set forth therein. Said fees pertaining to user fees shall take effect on August 20, 2024.

Section 3: Separate Fee for each Process. All fees set by this resolution are for each individual process. Additional fees shall be required for each additional process or service that is requested or required. Where fees are indicated on a per unit or measurement basis, the fee is for each individual unit or portion thereof within the indicated ranges of such units.

Section 4. Severability. The provisions of this Resolution are severable and if any provision, clause, sentence, word or part thereof is held illegal, invalid, unconstitutional, or inapplicable to any person or circumstances, such illegality, invalidity, unconstitutionality, or inapplicability shall not affect or impair any of the remaining provisions, clauses, sentences, sections, words or parts thereof of the Resolution or their applicability to other persons or circumstances.

Section 5. Effective Date. That the City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution and that the same shall be in full force and effect.

______________________________________________________________________________ ITEM NO: 4.

SUBJECT: Discussion and Direction Regarding the Supreme Court Decision Grants Pass v. Johnson and Anti-Camping Ordinances
______________________________________________________________________________ DISCUSSION:

At the end of June, the Supreme Court released its decision in the case City of Grants Pass v.

Johnson. The decision by the Supreme Court ultimately overruled the previous the Ninth Circuit decision in the Martin v. Boise case. Specifically, the Court determined that enforcement of anti-camping ordinances against homeless individuals was not a violation of the Eighth Amendment, regardless of whether a City or jurisdiction has sufficient shelter space.

Since the decision by the Supreme Court, cities and counties have began discussions regarding their own anti-camping ordinances and enforcement of such ordinances. Currently, the City already prohibits camping in its parks, which can now be enforced should the City desire to do so. The City can also consider passing a more detailed anti-camping ordinance similar to those that other agencies have passed since the Grants Pass decision.

Council will need to provide direction to Staff be on how it would like to proceed at this time.

FISCAL IMPACT: None.
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends City Council discuss the Grants Pass decision and provide direction to staff regarding an anti-camping ordinance and enforcement. ______________________________________________________________________________ ______/s/_______________________________ August 15, 2024 Megan Crouch Date

SUBJECT: City of Selma Graffiti Task Force
______________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND:

Mayor Robertson requested a discussion regarding a graffiti task force at the May 20, 2024 meeting.

DISCUSSION:

Public Works and PD/Code Enforcement has responded to 6 calls since the beginning of the calendar year 2024 related to graffiti. These departments have addressed graffiti issues on fences, buildings, public restrooms and other private/public structures and facilities by proactively removing graffiti identified by City staff or reported by citizens. We also work with property owners to help them promptly remove graffiti and have established positive working relationships with local paint vendors, such as Home Depot, to provide no-cost paint to homeowners to cover graffiti.

_________________________________________________________________________________ ITEM NO: 6.

SUBJECT: Animal Services Center Activity Update and Information About Operating Hours
_________________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND: During the July 1, 2024, Council meeting, Mayor Robertson requested a discussion on the feasibility of opening the animal shelter on Sundays.

DISCUSSION: City staff has reviewed this request and noted that best practices for animal shelters typically recommend being open to the public six days a week. Very few exceptions exist, with the primary exemptions being extremely large shelters (typically non-profit organizations) with "campuses" offering classes, retail stores, and other services, without animal control contracts. A review of nearby municipal animal shelters shows a variety of public closure days, indicating an established best practice of at least one day of closure to the public per week for purposes of operational efficiency.

Shelter Location Days Closed
Second Chance Animal Shelter (Previous Vendor) Sunday/Monday Fresno County Sunday
Fresno City Thursday
Kerman Saturday/Sunday (Open by
appointment only)
Kings County (also services cities of Lemoore &
Hanford) Saturday/Sunday
City of Visalia (also services cities of Exeter,
Farmersville, and Dinuba) Sunday/Monday
Tulare County Sunday
Madera County (also services Madera City) Saturday/Sunday City of Tulare Saturday/Sunday
City of Sanger By appointment only
City of Parlier By appointment only
City of Reedley By appointment only
This comparative analysis indicates that most shelters close to the public at least one day a week, often on weekends, to manage their operational needs effectively.

Additionally, the Selma Animal Services Center’s hours are significantly more extensive compared to the City’s former animal shelter contractor, Second Chance Animal Shelter, who’s posted hours were Tuesday through Friday from 12 pm to 4 pm and Saturdays from 8 am to 4 pm and closed on Sundays and Mondays. By contrast, the City’s current hours make August 19, 2024 Council Packet Page 55
the Shelter available to the public from Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm, with Sunday being the only day closed.

It is also important to note that what is being referred to in this analysis is a one-day closure to the public. While the Shelter is closed to the public, some staff are often still on-site performing critical functions. Maintaining a one-day closure to the public per week allows dedication by staff to critical tasks that ensure the shelter operates efficiently and effectively.

These tasks include:
